0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Welcome, Karl and Mario. You are our first pair this afternoon.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45How do you two know each other?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Well, we've known each other for about seven years.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51We met through our dear friend John.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Our friendship developed when John went travelling to South America
0:00:56 > 0:01:01and he insisted that me and Karl bonded
0:01:01 > 0:01:04in his absence and since then, we've been good mates.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- It's a bit weird, but it's pretty much how it happened!- Very good.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Where are you from, Karl? - Originally from Stoke-on-Trent.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Been living in London now for five years.- And what do you do?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I am an M&E engineer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Basically, do building maintenance, look after air conditioning.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- So if it gets a bit cold in here... - Which it just might.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32I was assuming it was cold cos Mario's come in a scarf!
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- You never know. Better prepared, I think! I've got an umbrella, just in case.- Just in case!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Next, we welcome back Ken and Angela. Everyone gets two chances to reach our final.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52- Remind us how you did last time.- We went out on the first round, sadly.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- You did. I couldn't believe it!- No.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Classical and opera singers.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00You'd think that would be our favourite subject(!)
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- LAUGHTER - I would have thought! Oh, dear!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Ken, what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I'd like a little bit of sci-fi, maybe, classic films.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Both areas I do know something about,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17rather than classical opera singers!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- And Angela?- Yeah, films for me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I love films. Literature, I'm happy with that.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26My favourite films, probably, of all time -
0:02:26 > 0:02:30obviously, the three best films of all time -
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- are The Magnificent Seven...- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Love Actually, which is a great comedy, right?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- And The African Queen.- Oh, The African Queen! Fabulous film!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- It's broad, a broad range.- Yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I've been told I'm broad before, thank you!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- LAUGHING:- Well, it's lovely having you back.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Next, we welcome Sheridan and Stacey. How do you know each other?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I've known Sheridan for 16 years.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- For the last seven, she's run my hair salon in Selby, as my manageress.- Your manageress!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Sheridan, what's she like as a boss? - Um... Very loud!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- LAUGHTER - Very bossy.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- That's good for a boss. - Very kind, as well.- Ah!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Loud, kind and bossy!- Yes. - What more could you ask for?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- The very best of luck to the pair of you.- Thank you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:30Finally, welcome back Phil and Mike. This is your second crack at the Pointless final.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Remind us how you did.- We did OK. We got to the head-to-head.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Got knocked out in that round, so nearly to the final.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44- But we'll always remember what the ingredients of kedgeree are. - You certainly will.
0:03:44 > 0:03:50- Phil, remind us what you do. - I work for a shipping and forwarding company in Felixstowe.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Importing and exporting, dealing with Customs.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- What are your hobbies? - A number of hobbies.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I get involved in the theatre. I do a lot of amateur dramatics.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07But also, I collect signed photographs of celebrities.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Alexander, you are hanging in my toilet at the moment!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- I hang around there a lot! Am I? - LAUGHTER
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You're in the Rogues' Gallery. You are!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Am I in good company?- Yeah! You've got Ralph Fiennes there.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Ricky Gervais and, er... LAUGHTER
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Mike, remind us what you do. - I'm a primary school teacher.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- I teach nine to 11-year-olds. - Oh, yes.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35With a very broad range of knowledge.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39You wouldn't have thought so from the last show!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42But this show, boy, are we gonna see it?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Well, very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48There's one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51He is obscurity in a suit and shoes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04And WHAT shoes, if I might say!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Suit, shoes but no trousers, as always.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Should be a good show today.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11We HAVE got film coming up.
0:05:11 > 0:05:18Angela's got eight grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That's correct, Richard. Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- She's amazing! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:05:26 > 0:05:32- She's going to have to earn that jackpot and, if she does, it's not going to go round.- N-no!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It's mine, all mine! LAUGHTER
0:05:35 > 0:05:41Lovely to have someone wearing a scarf. That's a first. We've had a few hats.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Phil and Mike were in the head-to-head, and often you go all the way next go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49So I suspect they are the pair to beat.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Thank you, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56We are after the obscure answers they didn't give.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Today's jackpot starts off at £3,500.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Right, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:06:22 > 0:06:26In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and you cannot confer.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36An incorrect answer will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Let's find out what the question is.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00..as they could.
0:07:00 > 0:07:07Any feature film made for cinema for which Russell Crowe received an acting credit prior to 2011.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Short films, TV films, documentaries don't count,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13but voice performances do.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Any Russell Crowe film, and there are 32 on the list.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Karl and Mario, you all drew lots, and today you get to go first.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Have you seen a lot of Russell Crowe films?- I've seen a few.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Um... L.A. Confidential?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Well, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.- Yes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- You've seen L.A. Confidential? - Years ago. I know I've seen it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It was a while ago so I'm hoping that...
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I THINK he was in it. - We'll find out.- We'll find out!
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Is that right and, if it is, how many people said L.A. Confidential?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Well done, Mario. It's right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Wow!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:08:07 > 0:08:11That's a great score. Very well done, Mario. Four points.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Well played, Mario. From 1997, the film that made him a star in America.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Kim Basinger won an Oscar in the same film.- Thanks very much.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now then, Angela.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Russell Crowe films. You must have seen a few.- I have. Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32It's just knowing one that won't get too many points.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Um... 3:10 To Yuma.
0:08:35 > 0:08:383:10 To Yuma. Let's see if it's right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42And, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Look at that!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- CHEERS AND WHISTLES - Very, very well done.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- LAUGHING:- That's a brilliant answer! One point, Angela.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06From 2007. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. Have you seen it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:12- Yes, I did.- I thought it was rather good. Did you enjoy it?- I liked the original film of it better.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But that's cos I'm old!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- 1957 was the original, with Glenn Ford.- That was good, that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Back when you only had seven or eight great-grandchildren.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I didn't have any great-grandchildren then.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I was practising how to get children at the time.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32LAUGHTER
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I can't believe I said that!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38LAUGHTER
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You all right, Ken?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Right, Sheridan. We're looking for Russell Crowe films.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- What's the most obscure...? - I only know one.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It will be The Gladiator. That's the only one I know.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gladiator.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- It's a lot better than 100.- Yes. - 60, very good.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Quite a big score for a film round. He won the Oscar for Gladiator.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's the only one I've seen.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- Perfectly good answer. - Quite a high score. Phil.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37We come to you. I have a feeling you're probably quite good at films.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42I'm not too bad on films. Not that hot on Russell Crowe films.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46One springs to mind, the only one I can think of
0:10:46 > 0:10:49apart from the ones already said, A Beautiful Mind.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said A Beautiful Mind.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's right.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Not a bad score, Phil. 17.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Well done, Phil. From 2001, he plays mathematician John Nash.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15He got an Oscar nomination for that one.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Well, it's a very broad field.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Angela and Ken, looking fantastic! That was an amazing answer, Angela.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Thank you.- Very well done.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Mario, another great answer. - It was the scarf.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35It was the scarf, quite possibly, that did it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Then we travel up to 17, where Phil and Mike are looking pretty good.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Then 60, Sheridan and Stacey.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- You are way ahead, so Stacey... - We're winning!
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Keep up that high scoring, you might win an exit from the show.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Stacey, you'll have to find a really good obscure Russell Crowe film.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's not going to happen? It might dawn on you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04You never know. OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Remember, we are looking for Russell Crowe films.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Mike, Phil gave us a great answer with A Beautiful Mind.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I'll go for his earliest film I can remember, Romper Stomper.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Stacey, that's the one you were thinking of(!)- Yeah!- Bad luck.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27If you can get below that red line with Romper Stomper,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30you are through to the next round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I have a feeling this might go a long way down. Romper Stomper.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41You're through to the next round.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49That's a great answer! Romper Stomper scores two.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Takes your total up to 19.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57From 1992, probably the first film where anyone had seen Russell Crowe.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03He plays a neo-Nazi skinhead. Lovely film for a primary school teacher(!)
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Romper Stomper, a great answer. Stacey, we come to you.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- Russell Crowe films. - I only knew two and they've gone.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13This is always my favourite bit.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Stacey's going to have to make up the name of a film.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I'm going to go for a cartoon kind of film, for the voiceover.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I don't know if it's right but... I'm going to go Madagascar.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Madagascar.- Yeah. - That could be a brilliant answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It could be. You are the high-scorers on 60.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Let's see if Madagascar is right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Oh! Bad luck!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51That takes your total to 160, I'm afraid. Richard.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Yeah, good news though, Sheridan. Now you're miles in the lead!
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Very good! Now, then. Ken, Angela, you are through to the next round.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02No matter what you say, Ken.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05However, there's got to be a couple,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09must be some pointless Russell Crowe films.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15No doubt there are, but I'm not great on Russell Crowe films.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19But your mum did so well! The lowest score in the first pass.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Yeah. I'm relieved about that. Very relieved!
0:14:23 > 0:14:29- I'm just gonna have to play safe. - OK.- Because I don't want to get 100 again!
0:14:29 > 0:14:36- So I'm going to go Robin Hood. - Robin Hood. Did you ever see it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- Yes.- Did he sound Irish or what? - "What" most of the time!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Let's see how many people said Robin Hood.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Not a bad score at all for Robin Hood.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Takes your total to 26. Richard.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05Well done, Ken. From 2010. He was supposed to be attempting a Midlands accent.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- A shocking accent but a good answer. - So we come to you, Karl.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14The high-scorers are Stacey and Sheridan on 160 points.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19There's no way you can overtake them even if you made something up.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22What I had in mind have gone!
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I'm going to have to stick to the old animation theme. I'm gonna say...
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Ice Age.- Ice Age.- Yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Ice Age. Good luck, Karl.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Ooh! Bad luck!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'm afraid that's incorrect. Not that it matters.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47It scores 100 points. Takes your total to 104. Richard.
0:15:47 > 0:15:53Not in Ice Age. Not in Madagascar. Let's look at some of the pointless answers on the list.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56There's quite a few...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00..The last two, Australian films...
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Let's look at the most popular answers. We've already heard them.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17A Beautiful Mind, number three.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Ken Gave us Robin Hood, that was number two.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25And Sheridan gave us 60 points for Gladiator,
0:16:25 > 0:16:26the most popular.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34it's Sheridan and Stacey!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Russell Crowe films. - Don't like the man.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40He's only good-looking in Gladiator cos he's got that outfit.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Nyach!
0:16:42 > 0:16:46What would have been the best, best possible subject for you?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Music.- Music, generally?- Travel.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Hang on! Which is it to be? - I like music and travel.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- World music, then, maybe?- Maybe.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- Hm.- No. Not really.- Maybe not.
0:17:00 > 0:17:07Well, we shall see you again next time when, I'm sure, you will stay with us for much, much longer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Thanks very much for playing. - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:17:11 > 0:17:14For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Only two pairs can make it to the head-to-head, so one team will leave at the end of this round.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30So the category for round two is...
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Our question for round two this afternoon concerns...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52..We're about to show you a list of museums and galleries.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58We asked 100 people to tell us which cities they are located in. Richard.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02We'll show you six museums and galleries on each pass.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08If you give us an incorrect answer, the wrong city, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11See how many you can get at home.
0:18:11 > 0:18:18So we are looking for the city in which these museums and galleries are found.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20We have got...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31..I'll read those one more time...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43OK, Mario. There are the museums and galleries.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49I want a nice obscure one, and you to tell me which city it's found in.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53They are looking pretty obscure from here. Um...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I will have to hazard a guess.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Uffizi, it reads Italian.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So I would go Uffizi, Milan?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You're saying Uffizi, Milan.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12As always, you're looking to score as few points as possible.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Uffizi was in Milan.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Bad luck, Mario. That's an incorrect answer.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Unlucky, Mario and Mario's scarf. Not in Milan.
0:19:29 > 0:19:35- I won't give you the answer in case Angela or Phil want the same question.- Now, Angela.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You got the best answer on that last pass.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I think you'll be able to pull one out the bag again.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44There's only one that I'm...
0:19:44 > 0:19:49I think I know where two of them are.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54I think, really, that I'm going to go for the Ashmolean Museum,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58which I believe is in Oxford.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01The Ashmolean, you are saying, is in Oxford.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Well done, Angela. That's right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13A wonderful score!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Very well done, you. Ashmolean, Oxford. Richard.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Very well played, Angela. It was founded in 1683.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's Britain's oldest public museum.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- Can I ask you a question, Angela? - You certainly can.- You've got 17 great-grandchildren.- Yeah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36How does one go about remembering the names?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- You have a good memory. - Can you reel them off?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I certainly can, if this is what you want.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER Right, my great-grandchildren are...
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Leonard and Sylvia, which are my son's two grandchildren.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Um, right... And then there is... Just a second!
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Do you know? I could go off you, Richard! I really could!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I just...
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I thought you were fantastic. Do you know what...?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I believe that you can name all 17. I won't put you through it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I thought this because, when I was coming on the show,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18they said to me, "Why would you like to come on the show?"
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I said, "Because Richard's sense of humour cracks me up."
0:21:22 > 0:21:28I then said, "Of course, Alexander, you wouldn't kick him out of bed, would you?"
0:21:28 > 0:21:30LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:21:35 > 0:21:39How did you...? How did you break that foot again?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- I tripped over some fresh air!- You weren't kicking anyone out of bed?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- That's for me to know and you to find out.- OK!
0:21:49 > 0:21:57Now then, Phil. We're looking for the cities in which these museums and galleries are found.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59There are the museums and galleries.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04I need a nice obscure one. I have a feeling you know all of these.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08You're wrong, Alexander! But thanks for your confidence.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Talk us through these cultural landmarks.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17OK. There's obviously one there which is quite...obvious.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- The British Museum one.- You don't have to be coy. You can say where.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The British Museum's in London.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27However, I might take a punt on another one
0:22:27 > 0:22:31to get a low points one.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm gonna go...
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Cos of the title of the Kunsthistorisches Museum,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41German, I'm going to say Berlin for that one.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Kunsthistorisches Museum, Berlin.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Kunsthistorisches Museum, Berlin.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Bad luck, Phil.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Richard.- Yeah, not Berlin, I'm afraid.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08It's in Vienna, the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11It's a museum about the history of art, in Vienna.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Let's look at the rest of them. Mario, the Uffizi IS in Italy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20It's in Florence. It would have scored you 11 points.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Kelvingrove, Alexander?- Glasgow.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26The most visited museum in the UK outside London, Kelvingrove...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37..Not many less than 100.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Very well done if you got the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the best answer on the board.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52There again, Angela and Ken! The strongest players.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Then we zip up quite substantially to 100 points where Mario and Karl
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and Phil and Mike are drawn.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03So, Karl and Mike, you'll have to fight this out
0:24:03 > 0:24:06to see who stays with us and who leaves
0:24:06 > 0:24:08at the end of this round.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20We're going to put six more museums and galleries on the board.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22We have got...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32..Let me read those again...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42We're looking for the cities in which these are located.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Mike, you're the high-scorers, joint high-scorers.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58The one which stands out, which I think might be OK, is the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Well done.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Very well done!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Takes your total up to 107.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- Richard.- Yeah, founded by the 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion.
0:25:23 > 0:25:29Fitzwilliam, Cambridge. He gave it all his art and antique collection.
0:25:29 > 0:25:36Now, Ken. We're looking for the cities in which these museums and galleries are found.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Your mother set you up fantastically well.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44The high-scorers are Mike and Phil on 107.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47If you can score 86 or less,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49you are through to the next round.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I'm going to have to play safe.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57I'll hate myself for it if it's too many.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Anne Frank House, Amsterdam. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Let's see if Anne Frank House in Amsterdam will get you below that.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You're through.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Well done.- A surprisingly low score. That scores you 36 points.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Takes your total up to 56. Richard.- Very well played, Ken.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Open to the public in 1960, Anne Frank House.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Now, Karl and Mario. You are on 100 points.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42The high-scorers are Mike and Phil.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44If you can score six or less,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Karl, you are through to the next round.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Anything over six points, we will be saying goodbye.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Not my strongest... - Talk us through the board, Karl.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Galleries not really me strongest subject, and museums.
0:27:03 > 0:27:10I'm going to have to go with Walker Art Gallery.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- In Leicester.- The Walker Art Gallery in Leicester, you're saying.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18You're on 100 points. Here's your red line. Quite low, I'm afraid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24If the Walker Art Gallery is in Leicester,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27you could be through to the head-to-head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Bad luck, Karl.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41taking your total up to an unbeatable 200 points!
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- Richard.- It's actually in Liverpool.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Well worth a visit. Would have scored three points.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53If you'd said The Louvre, you wouldn't have got through.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58It scores a pretty hefty 79. It's in Paris, of course.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- The Hermitage, do you know that, Alexander?- Moscow, is it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06St Petersburg. I went recently. It's extraordinary.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10If you get the chance, you should definitely go. Scored 11 points.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Galleria Borghese is in Rome.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17The Walker Art Gallery is the best answer. Well done if you said that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25The losing pair at the end of round two, I'm afraid, is Karl and Mario, 200 points!
0:28:25 > 0:28:31A tough category if you don't know your galleries and museums.
0:28:31 > 0:28:39But it is looking good for next time when, hopefully, we'll have more subjects you're comfortable with.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48For the remaining pairs, things get even more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Ken and Angela, Phil and Mike, you made it to the head-to-head.
0:28:59 > 0:29:06Only one pair can make it to today's final and play for the jackpot which currently stands at £3,500.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Each pair gives me just one answer, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Find an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26The first pair to the best of three plays for the jackpot.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Let's play Pointless.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34OK, here's your first question.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:29:40 > 0:29:42..as they could.
0:29:42 > 0:29:49We're looking for any of the 13 male golfers who've been world ranked Number One in the official rankings
0:29:49 > 0:29:53from when they started in 1986 to the beginning of 2011.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56OK. Thanks very much.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01Ken and Angela, cos you played best so far, you get to go first.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03WHISPERING
0:30:04 > 0:30:09- We have an answer from Ken and Angela.- Seve Ballesteros.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Seve Ballesteros. OK. So, Phil and Mike.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15You can now talk out loud.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Ernie Els, is it? - Ernie Els, shall we go for?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- It seems like a good answer. - Padraig Harrington?- Could be.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Go him. - We'll go for Ernie Els.- Ernie Els.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29So we have Seve Ballesteros and we have Ernie Els.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Seve Ballesteros. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Ooh, very good.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45APPLAUSE
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Very well done. Lovely low score there.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Ernie Els.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Ooh, well done!
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Very good. Ernie Els beats it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13So, Phil and Mike are up one-nil.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Richard.- Two good answers there. There were four pointless answers.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Let's take a look at all the names on the list.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Tom Lehman, the American,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25World Number One for one week!
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Nick Price, the Zimbabwean.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Ian Woosnam was pointless...
0:31:34 > 0:31:40..Vijay Singh is the oldest man to have reached World Number One at 41.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Greg Norman was World Number One for 331 weeks, scored six...
0:31:54 > 0:31:57..Tiger Woods has been World Number One for 623 weeks.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- A lot of weeks! - More than ten years worth of weeks.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Here is your second question.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Ken and Angela, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18..as they could.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24We're looking for any countries that belong to the EU whose flag consists of just two colours.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29They can have a crest or coat of arms as well, but just two colours.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33And that's prior to the start of 2011.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Phil and Mike, you get to go first. - WHISPERING
0:32:39 > 0:32:45The one that comes to mind which we think only has two colours, red and white, is Poland.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47OK. Poland, you say.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Ken and Angela, you can now talk out loud.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Not doing great! We're not doing great! Um...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59We'll go for Greece?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Yeah?- Going to have to.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Greece.- You're going to take Greece. Phil and Mike have gone for Poland.
0:33:05 > 0:33:12You are going for Greece. Phil and Mike, if you win this, you are through to the final.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Ken and Angela, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Poland, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Poland.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30APPLAUSE
0:33:34 > 0:33:3811 for Poland! Ken and Angela have said Greece.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45You have to win this to stay in the game.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Will it go down as far as Poland?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Good luck, anyway.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Bad luck. Yes, Poland wins that one.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06After two questions, Phil and Mike are through to the final, two-nil.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Unlucky, Ken and Angela. You came up against a very good team.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Three answers would have beaten Poland.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18All the ones that beat it were red and white as well...
0:34:50 > 0:34:56..The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, it's Ken and Angela.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Oh, dear! We've had a FANTASTIC game with you, though.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06You've been amazing. Brilliant low answers in both of the first two rounds.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Strange to say, I was going to say Malta and then I thought,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14"I'm not 100% sure and I KNOW with Greece!"
0:35:14 > 0:35:17It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Brilliant contestants. Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you very much.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26For Phil and Mike, it's time for our Pointless final
0:35:26 > 0:35:29and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,500!
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Congratulations, you fought off the competition and have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41APPLAUSE
0:35:44 > 0:35:47CHEERING
0:35:48 > 0:35:55You now have a chance to win our jackpot, which stands at £3,500.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57CHEERING
0:35:59 > 0:36:05To win that money, you have to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:05 > 0:36:11We haven't had any pointless answers today. Find one now to go home with that money.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15First, you've got to choose a category from these three options...
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I don't think it's going to be fashion, is it?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- I'm quite fashionable in my own way. - Yeah! Baseball's a no-go.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- Unless it's names of teams. I think it's got to be authors.- I think so.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- Authors, it is.- Yeah.
0:36:37 > 0:36:42Let's find out what the question is. Any area where you feel comfortable?
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Ones we know would be nice! - Enid Blyton's quite good!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Children's authors could be OK.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Anything like that would be good. - Let's find out.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:59 > 0:37:00..as they could.
0:37:00 > 0:37:07We're looking for any person who's been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature up to the 2010 recipient.
0:37:07 > 0:37:13When there's been more than one, we will accept each as an individual answer. Best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18I'll echo that. Best of luck. You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23All you need to win that £3,500 is for one of those to be pointless.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- Your 60 seconds start now. - Who are you going to say?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Harold Pinter and Seamus Heaney. - I was going to say Salman Rushdie.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- Did he win the Nobel Prize for Literature?- I think he has done.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- He's the only one I can think of. - They're the two I can think of!
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- There you go, then.- Yeah.- That's three straight away. Absolutely.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Stop the clock? - Yes.- OK. Clock is stopped.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Well, that was quick!
0:37:51 > 0:37:56We were looking for winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. I need three answers.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Er... Seamus Heaney.- Seamus Heaney.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Harold Pinter.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Harold Pinter.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- And Salman Rushdie. - And Salman Rushdie.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11Which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- BOTH: Seamus Heaney. - We'll put him up last.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Salman Rushdie. Quite a lot of people would have...- Fair enough.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25Salman Rushdie first, Seamus Heaney last and Pinter in the middle.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Here they are.
0:38:33 > 0:38:39We were looking for the winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. This is your least confident answer.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £3,500 jackpot.
0:38:44 > 0:38:50Let's see if Salman Rushdie is right and, if it is, how many people said it. How confident are you?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Er, not... Now it's up there, I'm not that confident!
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- We'll see how it goes. - He won SOME prizes.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Yeah.- Has he won that one?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Let's see. Salman Rushdie.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Well, you weren't that confident in that one.- No.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Even if he had won, you thought that was going to be a popular choice.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18You have two left, two you're certain of.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Pretty sure.- He is.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- I hope so!- We're looking for winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30This is your second answer, Harold Pinter.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33You're very confident of this.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40£3,500! What would you do with £3,500?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Well, I have a baby daughter.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47She's just five months old. I'd love to do some nice things for her.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- AUDIENCE: Ah! - Very good. Phil, top that!
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I'm going to spend it!
0:39:55 > 0:40:01I've got a five-year-old son and it's his mother's wish to take him to Lapland.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Ah! Fantastic! Very good.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07He'll want to go if he hears this on the TV, so we have to win!
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- You better had. - Have to take him anyway now.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Harold Pinter was your second answer.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Harold Pinter.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Well, it's right.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- You were very confident it was right.- Come on!
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It has to go all the way to zero.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33BOTH: Oh!
0:40:33 > 0:40:35APPLAUSE
0:40:38 > 0:40:44But then, he won it very famously. People would have remembered that picture of him in his hat.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Seamus Heaney, on the other hand,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51far more anonymous, I'm sure.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Hope so.- Thanks, Alexander!
0:40:54 > 0:40:59You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Seamus Heaney is or isn't going to carry you over that threshold.
0:41:04 > 0:41:10I don't think there seemed to be any discussion. This was the answer you were most confident with.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Yeah.- Think so. - Obviously, it has to be right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Then it has to be pointless for you to win that £3,500 jackpot.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Fingers tightly crossed.- Absolutely.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24EXHALES
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Let's win this! - Seamus Heaney. Is it right?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30How many people said it? This for the jackpot of £3,500.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Very, very best of luck.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- It's right.- Come on!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Down to zero! Come on!
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Your third and final chance to win our jackpot...
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Oh, no!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Good answers!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Well, you put them in the right order!
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Unfortunately, you couldn't find that all-important pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:07- You have been fantastic contestants but you do, of course, take home our Pointless trophy.- Thank you.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10APPLAUSE
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Richard. - Guys, you played so well throughout.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21That is tough luck. Some big names were pointless answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Gabriel Garcia Marquez, WB Yeats. I'll show you a few more...
0:42:28 > 0:42:33..Eugene O'Neill, the American playwright, won it in 1936...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40..John Galsworthy, author of The Forsyte Saga.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Luigi Pirandello, famous for Six Characters In Search Of An Author.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Samuel Beckett was a pointless answer!
0:42:48 > 0:42:54And the very first winner of all, the French essayist Sully Prudhomme.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59Very well done if you got any of those, and very tough luck, guys.
0:42:59 > 0:43:06We do have to say goodbye, Phil and Mike, but thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Nobody's won our jackpot so it rolls over.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14On the next show, we will be playing for £4,500.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
