0:00:20 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the quiz show were obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:32 > 0:00:35and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:43So, welcome back Matt and Andy, our first pair.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46You were on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We were doing OK. Got to the second round,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51then I managed to get a question completely wrong,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54got 100 points and I haven't heard the end of it since.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Oh, yes, this was New Mexico.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Yeah, thanks, Alexander.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- What do you do when you're not at work, Matt? - Erm, I have a couple of daughters,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06which obviously takes up a fair portion of my time. I read a lot,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08cricket fan...
0:01:08 > 0:01:09A couple of daughters!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Yeah.- "I've a couple of daughters".
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- At last count two, possibly three. - CHUCKLING
0:01:17 > 0:01:18I'm relatively certain two.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- What sort of age are they? - Nine and four.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Andy, what do you do when you're not working?- I read a lot, as well.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- I like sport and I'm writing a book. - What's your book about?
0:01:27 > 0:01:32It's a political and religious allegory, so a fantasy story.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Matt, are you writing a book, at all?- Yes, actually.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Wow! What's it about?- It's a social satire.- A social satire.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40What part, a modest proposal?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45No, it's a view as to how the justice system could be reformed.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- A satirical view.- Correct.- One you don't really want us to take up.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53No, it's not an advocation, it's more of a Utopian ideal.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57I see. Well, the Utopian ideal for this afternoon, of course,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59is that you make it through to the final
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and I wish you the very best of luck with that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Secondly, we welcome Claire and Liz, our second pair on the show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08How do you two know each other?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10We worked together many, many years ago
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- in our first proper grown-up jobs. - What was your first proper grown-up job?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Selling advertising for me.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I was an office junior. I did the post, Liz's post.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21THEY LAUGH
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Did Liz sell a lot of advertising, was she good at it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- She got better at it.- Thanks(!)
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Claire, what are you doing now? - I'm an events manager now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Events manager.- Yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34So, from officer junior quickly up to events manager.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Liz, how about you?- Still working in advertising for a fashion magazine.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40For a fashion magazine.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42What are your strong subjects, Liz?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Entertainment, popular culture.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48You know it all! Fashion?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Fashion...- Skinted verses minted.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Should be one of my, er, yeah. - It's great having you on the show.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- A very, very warm welcome to you. - Thank you.- Best of luck.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And next we welcome back Graham and David. You were also on the show last time.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Second chance to reach the final. Remind us how you did.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- We got to the head-to-head last time.- You did.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, yes, Oasis albums, yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Quite annoying, really. I should have said Heathen Chemistry,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I've got it at home and I didn't remember it, so...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Heathen Chemistry, it's a great name.- Yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21What are you hoping is going to come up? Obviously not Oasis!
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Like last time, geography is a fairly good one and sport, really.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28David, love geography?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29All right with geography,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33bit of literature, films, that will be good.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35OK, literature and films.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I have every faith we'll be seeing a lot of you this game.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK, well, a warm welcome to you. Great to have you back.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Finally, we've got Barbara and Kevin. How do you know each other?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Barbara is my mother
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and she has lived in Cyprus for the last 16 years,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53but recently returned to Wrexham, where I also live.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Returned to sunny Wrexham.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- Yes.- What are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon, Barbara?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I'd like musical theatre. - Musical theatre.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And I'm just hoping that there's no sport.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10We never have sport on this programme! So rarely, so rarely.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Ah, that is awkward.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14LAUGHTER
0:04:16 > 0:04:18If you get knocked out in the first round,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21the good news is there's no sport.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22OK, what about you, Kevin?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- What would you love to have come up? - Anything to do with football.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So, actually, I would like some sport.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- There you are, you'll complement each other.- Also, politics, history and cinema, perhaps.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Very, very best of luck. It's great having you here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We'll find out more throughout the show.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41There's one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He loves nothing better than to run a bath, light a few candles,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48pour a glass of wine and relax with a good Encyclopaedia.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hello.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Hello, there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Hello, again.- It should be a good show today.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04We've got two returning pairs today.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07We had Graham and David, who were in the head-to-head.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09History tells us if you're in the head-to-head,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11USUALLY you go on to win it,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14but I suspect Matt and Andy may have something to say about that.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Especially as, I think, Andy, you wanted entertainment or history.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, round one is a combination of the two.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Very good. Thanks, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30but this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Now, what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37That's an answer that none gave. Each time that happens we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Now, nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Right, let's play Pointless.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now, in the first round each of you must give me one answer
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10If anyone gives me an incorrect answer they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15OK, our first category this afternoon is Classic Pop.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to the second?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And whoever is going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:06:30 > 0:06:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Cliff Richard singles as they could.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Cliff Richard singles.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Entertainment and history, look at that!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Neatly bound up.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48There you go, there you go.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Yeah, we're looking for any single released by Cliff Richard which entered the UK Top 40
0:06:52 > 0:06:55up to the start of January 2011.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Collaborations do count if he's credited
0:06:58 > 0:07:02and if it's ever a double A side single each of those tracks will be scored separately.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06We won't allow EPs such as Expresso Bongo.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- There are... Guess how many answers there are on this list?- 475.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Now the answer sounds disappointing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15CHUCKLING
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's 127.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19127 Top 40 singles.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23No, I honestly would have thought 70 was probably about right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- It's quite something. - Thanks, Richard.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Right, Matt and Andy, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34My mum is a big Cliff Richard fan.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Wow, you're going to have to get this right.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Growing up, we used to have a jukebox in the front room
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and it was 75% Cliff Richard singles.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh, so you know all of them in that case!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Let's go for...
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Wired For Sound.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Wired For Sound.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You're hoping to score as few points as possible with this.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Let's see if Wired For Sound is a correct answer and, if it is,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59let's see how many people said it. Wired For Sound.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Very well done, Andy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08This could be a very low score, I think.
0:08:10 > 0:08:1112.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:14 > 0:08:1712 points for Wired For Sound.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Richard? - Yeah, a very big hit from 1981.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21So...
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Claire, what is the most obscure Cliff Richard single you can think of?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Well, my mum is also a massive Cliff Richard fan
0:08:30 > 0:08:32and actually has the Cliff Richard calendar every year.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Wow!- I've seen Cliff Richard in a lot of poses!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37CHUCKLING
0:08:37 > 0:08:40So, I'm going to go for Bachelor Boy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Bachelor Boy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Bachelor Boy. That's what you are saying.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Let's see if Bachelor Boy is right
0:08:49 > 0:08:52and if it is, let's see how many people said Bachelor Boy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:02 > 0:09:0317, it's a good answer, Claire!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10So, Bachelor Boy, Richard?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, well played, Claire.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It was a number one in 1962.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK, very well done. So we have 12, we have 17.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19David, Cliff Richard?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Yes.- Did your mum have...- No, my mum wasn't a Cliff Richard fan.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25But your dad was, so, there we are!
0:09:25 > 0:09:31Unfortunately not, but I do remember Devil Woman.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Devil Woman. OK, Devil Woman.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The most obscure Cliff Richard single David can think of
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and he is hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Devil Woman.
0:09:53 > 0:09:5510!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Very well done, David.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The lowest score so far.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- 10 points for Devil Woman.- Yeah, Top 10 hit from 1976. Very well done.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- It's also the name of Cliff Richard's fragrance.- Is that true?- Yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15There's an eau de toilette from the House of Richard?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18There is, Devil Woman.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Barbara?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25No, I'm not a Cliff Richard fan, before you ask!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- And I've really got to wrack my brain because a couple have already been said.- Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34So, I'm taking a gamble on The Young Ones.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35The Young Ones.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said The Young Ones.
0:10:49 > 0:10:5019!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well done, Barbara. 19 for The Young Ones.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Yeah, good scores from everybody. It was number one in 1962, The Young Ones.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03It's his biggest selling single of all time. Sold over a million copies,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06which, even in those days, was very rare.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09OK, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10David and Graham,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13the best score there, 10 points. Very good.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Up a couple of notches to Andy and Matt on 12,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19then up to 17, Claire and Liz, and then up a couple more from that
0:11:19 > 0:11:23to 19, Barbara and Kevin. Very close grouping.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34OK, we're looking for Cliff Richard singles.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Now then, Kevin, you're the high scorers on 19.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40You're going to have to dig very, very deep
0:11:40 > 0:11:45into your massive knowledge of Cliff Richard's back catalogue.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48My knowledge of Cliff Richard is incredibly limited,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51but there's only one answer, which I think is correct,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53which hasn't been said.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I'm convinced it's going to be a high scorer,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57but it has to be Summer Holiday.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01OK, you're saying Summer Holiday. You are the high scorers on 19.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03There's no red line because you are the high scorers.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Let's see if it's right
0:12:05 > 0:12:08and if it is, let's see how many people said Summer Holiday.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Ooh, dear, yes, that is a high score.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17APPLAUSE
0:12:17 > 0:12:2053 for Summer Holiday takes your total up to 72. Richard?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Yeah, number one from 1963
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and it was one of the songs he performed at Wimbledon,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28do you remember, in 1996 when it started raining?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK, now then, Graham.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34You are on 10. The high scorers are Kevin and Barbara on 72.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36If you can score 61 or less
0:12:36 > 0:12:40you are through to the next round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45OK, yeah, I can think of a couple of others that haven't gone yet,
0:12:45 > 0:12:50but I think I'll play it fairly safe, go for his first hit, Move It.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Move It. Safe, you say!
0:12:52 > 0:12:57I think that is, A, very knowledgeable...B...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Embarrassing!
0:12:59 > 0:13:00LAUGHTER
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I didn't say that. I was going to say, B, very impressive.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06That's rather an obscure one. Move It, you are saying.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11If you can get below that red line, Move It will take you through to the next round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Move It.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Very well done, it's right.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And you are through to the next round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Nine points! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Nine points for Move It.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32That takes your score up to 19. Richard?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Yeah, well played, Graham. It's his first hit, as you say, it reached number two in 1958.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40OK, Liz, you are on 17.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The high scorers remain Kevin and Barbara on 72.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45If you can score 54 or less
0:13:45 > 0:13:47with this answer you are through to the next round.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52OK, so, this is not a good topic for me
0:13:52 > 0:13:56and both songs that I can think of I think are going to be
0:13:56 > 0:13:57really high scores,
0:13:57 > 0:14:02but I'm going to go with Congratulations.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06You're going to go for Congratulations.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08OK, here is your red line.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Below that red line, through you go.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Congratulations. Good luck.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You're through! Wow! Down it goes!
0:14:24 > 0:14:2523!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:30 > 0:14:32That scores you 23.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It takes your score up to 40. Congratulations
0:14:34 > 0:14:37and celebrations. Richard?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Well played, Liz. Good answer.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It was Cliff's entry in the Eurovision Song contest, actually,
0:14:41 > 0:14:46where he came second and the winning entry was a Spanish song, La La La.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48That's what it got beaten by.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51But it was also a number one single in 1968
0:14:51 > 0:14:56and Cliff is the only person in history to have a number one singles in five consecutive decades.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Amazing. Now then, Matt, on the back of that amazingness,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02here you are on 12 points.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04If you can score 59 points or less
0:15:04 > 0:15:10you can avoid overtaking our high scorers Kevin and Barbara, who are on 72.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15I seem to remember a song called Power To All Our Friends.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Power To All Our Friends, you are saying.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22You need to score 59 points or less.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25There's your red line. If Power To All Our Friends
0:15:25 > 0:15:29gets below that red line then you are through to the next round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33If it's right, let's see how many people said Power To All Our Friends.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36If this is right, I have a feeling this might go quite a long way down.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It IS right!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You're through to the next round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And it's going a long way down!
0:15:46 > 0:15:47It is! Look at that!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Very, very well done, Matt.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55That's a great answer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57That's a Pointless answer.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £4,250.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It scores you nothing, leaves your total at a very impressive 12.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Richard?- Yeah, brilliant, Matt. Very, very well played. From 1973.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Let's look at some of the pointless answers.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17With 127 singles up to the start of 2011, a lot of pointless answers, as you'd imagine.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20All I Have To Do Is Dream was pointless. From A Distance,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23the song all about if we could see the world from a distance
0:16:23 > 0:16:25it looks green and blue and all that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28He's had his sight corrected now, so it's less of an issue.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Bette Midler also had a big hit with that song.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Had To Be, also a pointless answer.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38The Next Time, She Means Nothing To Me, Suddenly, all pointless answers.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41True Love Ways, a pointless answer, he did a version of that,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44When I Need You and Whenever God Shines His Light.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's a very fine song that one, with Van Morrison.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Let's have a look at the most popular answers.
0:16:49 > 0:16:56Living Doll would have scored 25. Mistletoe And Wine, 34.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Right at the top, we've already heard it from Kevin, Summer Holiday, 53.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Well, thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of round one
0:17:03 > 0:17:06the losing pair, I'm afraid it's Kevin and Barbara.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Yes, Summer Holiday is what did it for you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- I'll leave with my street cred still intact! - CHUCKLING
0:17:11 > 0:17:15It's been brilliant having you on the show. Look forward to seeing you next time.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Thank you. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:19 > 0:17:24But for the remaining three pairs, it it's now time for round two.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Obviously only two pairs can make it to the head-to-heads,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36so one of the teams in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Your category for round two is...
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Sport.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Sport.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56OK, our second round question concerns
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Sporting Terms And Their Sports.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Sporting Terms And Their Sports. That's a bit better, isn't it, Liz?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- A bit.- No!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08We're about to show you a list of sporting terms and equipment.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13We asked 100 people to tell us with which sport is each most closely associated.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to show you six terms on each pass.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22The more obscure ones score you fewer points, but if you get one wrong you're going to score 100 points.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25There are six in each pass. 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26OK, thanks, Richard.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27We're looking for the sport
0:18:27 > 0:18:31with which these terms and equipment is most closely associated,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32and we have got...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Six yard box, pebbled ice,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41shuttlecock, try, cradling,
0:18:41 > 0:18:42fly slip.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll read those one more time.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Six yard box, pebbled ice, shuttlecock, try,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50cradling, fly slip.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, there are the terms or equipment.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Andy, you have to find the most obscure one you know
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and tell me which sport it is connected with.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Last time in this round we went out
0:19:04 > 0:19:07because I took a guess when I wasn't really sure.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09There's no chance of that this time
0:19:09 > 0:19:13because I've got absolutely no idea on most of them,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15so I'm going to have to play it safe.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Out of the three, I would go for...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22..Shuttlecock, badminton.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Shuttlecock, badminton you're saying.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26OK, well, let's see it that's right
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and if it is, let's see how many people said shuttlecock, badminton.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's right. Oh, my goodness!
0:19:34 > 0:19:35GROANING
0:19:35 > 0:19:3887 points for that. Shuttlecock, badminton.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Yeah, it's a very big score.- Yeah.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Yeah.- OK, well, thank you very much.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Now then, Liz, we come to you. There are the terms and equipment.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51You need to give me the sport with which each is associated.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56OK, this was down as possibly my worst possible subject.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'm an absolute sport HATER
0:19:58 > 0:20:02and there's only two on the board that I know, one's gone,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04so I'm going to go with try and rugby.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Try and rugby.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Try and rugby, let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1778.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Not the worst score in this pass. Richard, try?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Yes, 78, much better than 87 and much better than 100, as well.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29They called it a try because you wouldn't get points for scoring over your opponents' line,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33it just allowed you to have a try at a conversion, so you'd call it a try.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Now, it's the main way of scoring points.- Very good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Very well done, Liz. Now then, Graham, we come to you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43You're the last person, so you can talk us through the terms and/or equipment.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47There's three answers I know, two have gone, so I've got to go for the only one I know,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49which is six yard box and football.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Six yard box and football. It's going to be a high scoring round.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Let's see if that's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Six yard box, football.
0:21:05 > 0:21:0744.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Very well done, Graham.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Six yard box and football scores you a bafflingly low 44. Richard?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17A common term for the area in front of the goal,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19though not as common as we suspected.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's take a look at the rest of the answers, though.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Fly slip is a position just behind the slips in cricket.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It would have scored you 12 points.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Cradling - it sounds rather charming - it's in lacrosse.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Yeah.- It would have scored you 5 points. And pebbled ice?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- No.- It sounds like a Dickensian character,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41doesn't it - Sir Arthur Pebbled Ice?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's from curling. It would have scored you seven.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47That's the sport we all care about once every four years.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The best answer on the board was lacrosse -
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- well done if you said that at home. - OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Pretty high scores, it has to be said, but quite closely grouped,
0:22:00 > 0:22:05relatively closely. Graham and David, 44, our lowest scorers.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Then we go up a little bit more - Liz and Claire are on 78.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12And just a tiny smidge over that, Andy and Matt are on 87.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I would say, in the next pass, the real competition is going
0:22:15 > 0:22:20to be between Claire and Matt, but anything could happen. We'll come back down the line.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30We'll put six more sporting terms and equipment on the board,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and here they are. We have got...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'll read those one more time.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Remember, we are looking for the sport with which each
0:22:49 > 0:22:52of those is most closely associated, and you're trying
0:22:52 > 0:22:56to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. David...
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Graham's left you in a fantastic position scoring only 44 points.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04You are the low scorers. The high scores are Matt and Andy on 87.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09If you can score 42 points, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well, there's a couple there I know.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21I'll take a bit of a chance, and we'll go for epee, and it's fencing.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Epee, fencing, you're saying.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28OK, here's your red line. There it is. A little bit lower than halfway down.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30If you can get below that red line with epee and fencing,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33you are through to the head-to-head. Good luck.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Yup... Oh, no!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Ooh!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46APPLAUSE
0:23:49 > 0:23:54That scores you 44 points and gives you a total of 88. Richard?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Epee. It refers to a sword with a kind of bowl-shaped guard
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and a long, narrow, fluted blade.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06So, Claire and Liz, the high scorers
0:24:06 > 0:24:09are now David and Graham by 1 point. You are on 78.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13If you can score 9 or less with this answer - 9 or less, Claire -
0:24:13 > 0:24:18you are through to the head-to-head for sure.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Now, I can either go for something I know that
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I think is going to be quite high... - Mm-hm.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26..or I could guess on one that I'm not sure of
0:24:26 > 0:24:28that might be low.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36OK, I'm going to take a risk and I'm going to go with double dribble
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and basketball.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Double dribble, basketball. Liz, what you think?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I haven't got a clue. Not a clue.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45There is your red line.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47If you get below that with double dribble and basketball,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50you are through to the next round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. Double dribble.
0:25:02 > 0:25:0422! Very, very well done indeed.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06APPLAUSE
0:25:09 > 0:25:13It's right, it's low. It doesn't get you down to the red line,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15but it takes you up to a nice round 100,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18which is altogether more satisfying, isn't it? Richard.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Great answer, Claire, well worth the risk.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24It is either when you dribble and stop and start dribbling again
0:25:24 > 0:25:27or dribble with both hands. Both of those are a double dribble.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30OK, thanks very much, Richard. Now, Matt, it's all in your hands.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34You are on 87. The high scorers on 100 are Claire and Liz.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38If you can score 12 or less, 12 -
0:25:38 > 0:25:41that would be by some margin the lowest scoring answer
0:25:41 > 0:25:47of the entire round - you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Oche's darts. Birdie's golf.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Barbell's weightlifting, and catcher's box is baseball,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but there's no way oche or birdie would be low enough scoring,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00so we'll go catcher's box and baseball and hope for the best.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Catcher's box and baseball. Here is your red line.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08You'll notice it's quite low.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well, let's see if catcher's box and baseball
0:26:13 > 0:26:15is good enough to get you below that red line.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20If it is, you stay and go on through to the head-to-head.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24If it lands up above that red line, Claire and Liz stay
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and we say goodbye to you.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Let's see, catcher's box, baseball, is it right? How many people said it?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Oh!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Bad luck, Matt!
0:26:42 > 0:26:43APPLAUSE
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Bad, bad luck.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52I'm afraid that scores you 30 and it takes your total up to a winning...
0:26:52 > 0:26:56brackets...losing 117. Richard.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Unlucky - you couldn't have done much better.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01You were doomed by shuttlecock, I'm afraid,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03not something you hear every day.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Birdie was a very big scorer, as you suspect it would have been - 87.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Then barbell was the next highest scorer, weightlifting, which was 48.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18And oche, which is darts, of course, would have scored a 38.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The best answer on the board there is double dribble,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24basketball, so well played, Claire.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Very well done, Claire.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31it's Matt and Andy...again!
0:27:31 > 0:27:34This wasn't on the script at all.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Dear, oh dear, oh dear. Yes, shuttlecock did you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Thanks very much for playing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You've both been brilliant contestants. Thanks so much.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44APPLAUSE
0:27:46 > 0:27:50But for the remaining two pairs, things are going to get even more exciting now
0:27:50 > 0:27:51as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Very well done, Graham and David. Claire and Liz, you've made it
0:28:02 > 0:28:06through to the head-to-head. Only one pair can make it through to the final
0:28:06 > 0:28:11and play for today's jackpot, which stands currently at £4,250.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Now, you're going to go head-to- head on the best of three questions.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25This is good news. All you have to do is come up with an answer
0:28:25 > 0:28:28that scores less than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:28:28 > 0:28:35The first pair to get to the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40OK, here is your first question.
0:28:40 > 0:28:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Labour Prime Ministers as they could,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Labour Prime Ministers. Richard.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54We're looking for any leaders of the Labour Party that have served as British Prime Minister
0:28:54 > 0:28:55up to the start of 2011.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There are six names on the list.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Graham and David, as you played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06We're looking for Labour Prime Ministers.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Was James Callaghan Labour?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18He was, yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21OK, I think we'll go James Callaghan.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24OK, James Callaghan you're saying.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Claire and Liz?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Was Winston Churchill Labour?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- He was a Conservative, but I really have no idea.- Was he a Prime Minister?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Yeah, definitely. Oh, no.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Well, shall we go for him anyway, because it's just...
0:29:38 > 0:29:42out of... It will just move to the next question, and if we say
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Tony Blair or something, I mean, you know, we're going to lose. So, you say it.- No, you say it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48No, you say it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Have you just started going out with each other(?)
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- You're younger, you say it. - Was he a Prime Minister? - He was definitely Prime Minister.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Was he Labour?- I don't know. - I don't think he was.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I can't say it - you say it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Winston Churchill.- OK, good. We have Jim Callaghan,
0:30:06 > 0:30:11we have Winston Churchill. Let's see how they fare. Graham and David, you said James Callaghan.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said James Callaghan.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Well, that's right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:3328 for Jim Callaghan.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Claire and Liz have said Winston Churchill.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Winston Churchill.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer, which means, after the first question,
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Graham and David are in the lead 1-0. Richard. - Yes, Churchill was Conservative.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Let's take a look at all six. I expect some people will have got six.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59A few would have beaten James Callaghan.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Ramsay MacDonald, who was the first Labour Prime Minister in 1924 and returned in 1929.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Attlee, who took over from Winston Churchill, beat him in an election in 1945, was 11.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13James Callaghan, 28, Harold Wilson, 35, Gordon Brown - remember him -
0:31:13 > 0:31:17with 80, and Tony Blair, right at the top, on 88.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20OK, thanks very much. Here is your second question.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Now, Claire and Liz, you have to win this question to stay in the game. Here it comes -
0:31:24 > 0:31:31we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Pirates Of The Caribbean actors as they could.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Pirates Of The Caribbean actors.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Richard.- Any actor or actress who's appeared in all Pirates Of The Caribbean films
0:31:38 > 0:31:40up to the start of 2011.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42They have to be credited in all three,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45so not Geoffrey Rush, who was not credited in the second one.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Any actor who's been all the Pirates Of The Caribbean films.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53OK, thanks very much. Claire and Liz, you get to go first this time.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59Erm, I can only really think of the kind of three main characters
0:31:59 > 0:32:02and I'm going to go with the one... Oh...
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Well, I'm just going to try and go with the one that I think
0:32:06 > 0:32:09is probably the least well-known, which sounds stupid
0:32:09 > 0:32:13when I'm about to say Orlando Bloom.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Orlando Bloom. OK, you're saying Orlando Bloom. Graham and David,
0:32:16 > 0:32:21you can now talk out loud. We're looking for Pirates Of The Caribbean actors.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I've never seen it, haven't got a clue.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- So, it's over to you. - Have you seen it, David?- I have.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Keira Knightley is in it, isn't she?
0:32:30 > 0:32:35Keira Knightley's in it. Johnny Depp. But they're both...
0:32:35 > 0:32:37the big ones.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40The chap who's in The Office, not Stephen Merchant...
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Oh, yes.- Gary Crook?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Mackenzie Crook.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Is that his first name? - Mackenzie, yes.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We'll go for Mackenzie Crook.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Mackenzie Crook, you are saying, so we have Orlando Bloom
0:32:52 > 0:32:56and we have Mackenzie Crook - what are you thinking, Claire and Liz?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- I think they've got it. - ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Orlando Bloom
0:33:01 > 0:33:05is what Claire and Liz have said. You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Let's see what Orlando Bloom scores...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:2239 for Orlando Bloom.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Graham and David have gone for Mackenzie Crook.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Mackenzie Crook.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34If you win this, you are straight through to the final...
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Yup, well done.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Wow! Very, very well done indeed.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Very well done - Mackenzie Crook.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55I'm afraid that beats Orlando Bloom, so after only two questions,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Graham and David are straight through to the final.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03- Richard.- Yes, well played. There's actually a whole load of pointless answers here,
0:34:03 > 0:34:08as lots of the crew in the films are in the same ones. We'll go through the pointless ones first.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13Kevin McNally and David Schofield, both well-known English actors, they're both in the film.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16David Bailie, who plays Mr Cotton.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Christopher S Capp, who plays the voice of Mr Cotton's parrot.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23He's a pointless answer, perhaps unsurprisingly.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Be amazed if... ..Yes, Christopher S Capp, would be our answer.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Christopher Adamson, also a pointless answer.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33A few more pointless ones...
0:34:35 > 0:34:40..then Jack Davenport would have scored you 3 points.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Jonathan Pryce - 3 points.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45There's Mackenzie Crook on 9, then Orlando Bloom 39,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Keira Knightley 49 and Johnny Depp on 85.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Very good, Richard, thanks very much indeed. So, the losing pair
0:34:52 > 0:34:56at the end of the head-to-head - I'm afraid it's Claire and Liz.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Now, the first one, Labour Prime Ministers,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I think you can be forgiven for not knowing a Labour Prime Minister.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07But Pirates Of The Caribbean... There are swings and roundabouts in this game,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11and while the Prime Minister might have been a swing for you,
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Pirates Of The Caribbean surely should have been a roundabout... What am I talking about?!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17LAUGHTER
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Anyway, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24But you've made it all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28which is no mean feat. You've seen off some incredible pairs as well.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32And through you have come, you've done incredibly well. But we will see you again next time,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34when I have a feeling you will do even better.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39But thanks very much. You've been brilliant contestants, thanks so much for coming.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:42 > 0:35:45But for Graham and David, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and the chance to win our jackpot of £4,250.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50APPLAUSE
0:35:54 > 0:35:58congratulations, Graham and David - you've fought off the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:02and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03APPLAUSE
0:36:07 > 0:36:12As a little bonus, you know have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,250.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:36:18 > 0:36:22The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do
0:36:22 > 0:36:26is find a pointless answer - an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31We've had one pointless answer today. You have to find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37First, you've got to choose a category, and you can choose from these three options...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Ah.- What do you reckon?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Well, fashion's a no-no.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Can we get the girls back to do the fashion?!
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I know very, very little about Spain.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Tennis? Tennis...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I don't know.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I don't know, I really don't know. I'd be happier on tennis.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Fashion is out, so it's whether you want to go for Spain.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- I don't know what Spain could be, I really don't. - It could be beaches or something.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- I think tennis.- Have to go tennis, I'm afraid, reluctantly.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20It's a reluctant choice, by a process of elimination.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Yeah. I've seen happier people, I have to say. OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Might be brilliant. What would be a really good tennis question for you
0:37:32 > 0:37:34that you'd find millions of pointless answers for?
0:37:34 > 0:37:40Erm, I'd like the question to be, who last won when I last played my son at tennis?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44And then I could say...me.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48OK, here we go. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:37:48 > 0:37:53as many female French Open winners as they could. Richard.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Yeah, we're looking for any woman who's won a French Open Women's Singles title
0:37:58 > 0:38:01from 1945 through to 2010 inclusive.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Any female winner of the French Open.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win that £4,250
0:38:10 > 0:38:12is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Got to go back a long way.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Navratilova...
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Justine Henin? - I think we need to go back further.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27'70s, Chris Evert - has Mary Pierce ever won it, the French woman?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Tempted to go for Mary Pierce for one of them.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I would also...
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Did Christine Truman, the British woman, did she ever win that?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- I know she won Wimbledon. - That's post-war.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Yes, let's go for Betty Stove. I don't know if she won it or not, but she's a tennis player
0:38:45 > 0:38:48from the '70s that I've heard of.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- She's a Grand Slam winner, is she? - I think so. I really don't know, I'm guessing a bit here,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54but that's my guess.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00So, Betty Stove, Mary Pierce and...
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- ..Christine Truman - happy with that?- Henin?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Justine Henin?- Yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- I think she's a bit modern.- Five seconds.- I think we need to go further back, really.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, there is your minute.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Time is up. We were looking for female French Open winners.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I now need your three answers.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27OK, I think we'll go for Betty Stove...
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Betty Stove...
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- ..Mary Pierce.- Mary Pierce.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38..and a bit of a wild card, Christine Truman.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39And Christine Truman.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Of those three, which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless?
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- I don't know. Erm, Betty Stove. - We'll put Betty last, then, shall we? Betty goes last.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Which is your least likely?
0:39:54 > 0:39:59I don't think Christine Truman's... I think that's probably wrong.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01OK, we'll put Christine Truman up first.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05And here they are...
0:40:10 > 0:40:15There they are. We were looking for female winners of the French Open.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18You said this was your least confident answer.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £4,250 jackpot.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29So, £4,250, that's what's sitting in the jackpot -
0:40:29 > 0:40:34what would you do with that? What would you do, David?
0:40:34 > 0:40:39I've got a fancy I would like to go to the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Ooh.- That's my plan with that.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- Graham, how about you?- Family holiday - probably Spain, actually.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Irony of ironies. You could always go to the French Open.- Yeah.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55OK. Well, this was your least confident answer, Christine Truman.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00Let's try her. It's a stab in the dark, but it doesn't matter, this one's just a place-holder.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Christine Truman...
0:41:05 > 0:41:11It's your first shot at the jackpot of £4,250.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Oh, it's right!
0:41:18 > 0:41:22It's right! We were looking for female winners of the French Open.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24And this is right.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28You said this was the one you had the least faith in. Down it goes! Wow!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30It's pointless!
0:41:30 > 0:41:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Very well done. Very well done indeed.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40CHEERING
0:41:45 > 0:41:47What about that?!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Hit it with the first shot. That was fantastic.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Well, congratulations - you managed to find that pointless answer,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57which means you go home with our jackpot of £4,250!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Well, you aced it, is what you did. Richard.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Yes, very well played, guys.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15She won in 1959, Christine Truman.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Mary Pierce, to go through your other answers, would have scored you 2 points. She did win it.
0:42:20 > 0:42:27Betty Stove, the Dutch player, never won the singles in the French Open. So, it was all on Christine Truman.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Shall we look at some other pointless answers?
0:42:32 > 0:42:36A couple more British winners at the top - Angela Mortimer and Ann Haydon-Jones.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39The American Althea Gibson, also a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42There's Christine Truman, with two more Americans...
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Hana Mandlikova, a Czech player who won in 1981.
0:42:48 > 0:42:56Jennifer Capriati and Margaret Osborne-duPont. So some there people at home would have got.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59But Christine Truman did the job for you. Very well done, guys.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04Very, very well done. Thanks once again to our winning players, Graham and David,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07who go away with today's jackpot of £4,250.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:43:11 > 0:43:16Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22APPLAUSE
