APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Thank you! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet the players. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
Welcome back, Jonathan and Alison. You're our first pair on the show. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
You were our first pair last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. Remind us how you did. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:46 | |
Not very well. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
-We went out on the first question. -You did. Sea creatures. -Yes. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
I thought Andrina was a sea creature, but it's a character in The Little Mermaid! | 0:00:53 | 0:01:01 | |
-Mmm. -It's annoying, because our daughter, who's seven is starting to watch Disney films! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
"Our daughter, Andrina..." | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
She loves that! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
-The Little Mermaid is the next one to watch! -Oh, dear. -We should have watched it before we came! -Yes! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
-So, then, sea creatures didn't treat you very well. -It didn't. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-No. -No. -No. -What are you hoping will come up this afternoon? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:27 | |
Literature. Food. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-Literature. -Classic TV for Jonathan. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
Classic TV. Anything you'd like not to come up, Jonathan? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
Anything to do with celebrity culture. It's a complete closed book to me! | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
-OK. Best of luck. Hope we see you for much longer than last time. -Thank you. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
Next, Rich and Daniel. How do you know each other? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-We're both members of the same amateur dramatics company. -Are you? Whereabouts is that? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
-Felixstowe, Suffolk. -Are you working on anything at the moment? | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
I'm on the committee, but not in the up-and-coming show they're doing. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-They're doing The Wizard Of Oz. -You're not doing that, Rich? -No. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
-Surely if you're on the committee, you'd have pick of the parts! -I have enough to do on the production end, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
-rather than start singing and dancing. -Right. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Daniel, what was the last thing you did? -I was in panto last. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
About a year ago. I was one of the ugly sisters! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
-Can you see the resemblance? -No. -Good. -A sister, but not an ugly sister! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-I was the nicer-looking one, of course. -Hang on, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-you're gesturing like Rich was the other one. Was he? -No. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
What would you hope comes up today, Daniel? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Anything to do with geography, or science, which I'm studying at university. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
I have a strange fascination with lists. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Things like capital cities, rivers, anything like that would be good. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Sounds like you're perfectly suited for this show. Best of luck. Great to have you here. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
Next, we welcome Simon and Morgan. How do you know each other? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-We're father and son from Sidcup in Kent. -Very good. Morgan, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-what do you do? -I'm studying A levels at college. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-What A levels are you taking? -Maths, Chemistry and Biology. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-Very good. So the scientific end of the spectrum is covered. -Yes. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
Simon, what do you hope comes up this afternoon? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-Science and sport, really. -Very good. A science crossover there. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
-Well, I'm an IT graduate. -Very good. Great to have you here. Best of luck. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
Thank you. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Finally, Gill and Gee. How do you know each other? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Gee is my personal trainer. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-Very impressive. I'm not sure we've had a trainer/trainee. -That's a first. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-And you're still friends? -Surprisingly enough. She puts me through it! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
Does she really? I bet she does. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
I'm having my revenge by bringing her on here! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Really. I see. When you're not training Gill, Gee, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
what do you like to do? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
I'm a bit of a computer person. I like designing things. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
I'm developing the designing side into mugs, t-shirts, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-and I'm designing clocks at the moment. -Clocks. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Fantastic. We'll find out more about all of you during the show. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
Only one person left to introduce. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
If obscurity were a sport, he'd be top of the Premiership. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-He's my Pointless friend, Richard. -Hiya. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-How are you? Are you well? -I am well, yes. How are you? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Not bad at all. Only one returning pair today, Jonathan and Alison, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-who were knocked out last time. -Yes. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
So a very open field. They'll be hoping to prove themselves. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
The first question today is something some people at home will be amazing at. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
There's a certain type of person who'll see the first question and ace the whole thing. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
-Whether any of those people are amongst our pairs, I don't know. -OK. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:06 | |
We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
but we're after the obscure answers they didn't get. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
When that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
So today's jackpot starts off at £6,000. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Right, let's play Pointless! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
In the first round, each of you must give me one answer. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
You cannot confer with your partner. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
The team with the highest score at the end of the round | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
will be eliminated. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
Our first category this afternoon is... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Skills. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
Decide who's going to go first and who'll go second. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Let's see what the question is. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
to name as many types of knot as they could. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
As many types of knot. Richard? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
The correct answers will be types of functional or decorative knot. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
OK. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Jonathan and Alison, you all drew lots earlier and today you get to go first. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
In this round, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
Your first set of seven answers reads like this... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Let me read those again. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
There is at least one pointless answer on that board | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
and at least one incorrect answer. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
An incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
Alison, for some reason, I think you might be quite good at this. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
-I don't know why! -Because you live on the Isle of Wight. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
So I assume you're nautical, and nautical people know their knots! | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Unfortunately, I don't have a boat. I'm a rubbish sailor. I get seasick! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
OK. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
OK, I'll make a decision. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
I'm going to have the half hitch. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
The half hitch. There it is. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
One, two, three down. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said half hitch. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
It's right. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Very good. Very good score, Alison. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
10 points for the half hitch. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
Richard? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Well played. Good answer. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
The half hitch is normally used as a basis for other knots but can be used by itself | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-for very light loads. -Good. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Rich. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-Types of knot. -It's a hard one to follow! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-Yeah. -I'm going to go with... | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
I'm going to play safe and go with sealed knot. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
A sealed knot. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-Yes. -OK. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
That's safe? You know that to be... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-I'm almost 100% sure. -You've heard of the sealed knot? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:34 | |
I've heard of seals! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
OK. Let's see if that's a correct answer and, if so, how many people said sealed knot. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
so you score a maximum of 100 points. Sorry. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-If that's you playing safe, Rich, I'd love to see you playing dangerously! -More to come! | 0:08:55 | 0:09:01 | |
Sealed Knot is the name of a society that re-enacts Civil War battles. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
They're the Sealed Knot. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Simon, types of knot. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
I'm not very good at knots at all. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
I recognise four or five up there. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
I'm tempted to go for a dodgy one, but I'll play it safe | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
with the sheep shank. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-A sheep shank. -Yep. -That is safe in your... -I believe so. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said it. Sheep shank. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Sounds good. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
It's right. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Very well done indeed. 15. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
15 points for sheep shank. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Well played, Simon. It's usually used to shorten the length of a rope. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
OK. Thank you. Now, then, Gee. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Nobody has yet found the pointless. There might be more than one pointless answer on that board. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:58 | |
Corned beef knot. You've got to wonder why it's there. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
It's a strange knot if it's not a knot. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Half hitch is a knot, so it makes me think snuggle hitch is. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Reef knot is definitely one. I don't think noose is, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
because probably the knot is something that's on... The noose is the noose and the knot is the knot. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
I'll play safe and go for reef knot. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
OK, you're going to go for reef knot. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
There it is. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said reef knot. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
-It's not bad. -OK. -It's not bad. A lot better than 100. -It's not good. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
Reef knot, Richard. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Biggest answer on the board but a correct answer. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
The name comes from when you used to tie up sails, referred to as reefing sails. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
A knot to tie up sails. Let's see the rest of the board and see which one is not a knot. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
The noose is a knot, actually. Used by hangmen and also in a lasso. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:04 | |
That scored 11. And of the other two, Alexander, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
pointless or incorrect? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
I completely agree with Gee. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
Corned beef knot must be pointless. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
It is pointless, corned beef knot. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
They used to tie up joints of corned beef before they cooked it. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
It's a pointless answer. Well done if you got it at home. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
And snuggle hitch. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
That's probably a knot. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
It is a knot. Snuggle hitch is another pointless answer. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Only recently created. It was discovered in 1987 | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
and invented by a man called Owen Nuttall of Yorkshire. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Very good. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
Alison - 10! Great score. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Up then 5 points to Simon and Morgan on 15. Very good indeed. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
Up quite substantially to Gill and Gee on 57. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
As it turns out, not a bad score really. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
It was the highest on the board, | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
but that's without the 100 there from Rich and Daniel. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Daniel, you need to find a pointless answer in the next pass | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
and hope that somebody else scores high. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
That's the only way to make it through to the next round. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Can the next players take their places at the podium? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
OK, seven more answers on the board. We're looking for types of knot. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
Here we go. We have got... | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Let me read those again. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless and at least one is incorrect. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
So avoid those incorrect ones. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Gill, what's the new board looking like to you? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
Well, I was a Guide, and although I was useless at them, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
I had to learn quite a bit about knots. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
I'm going to go for bowline. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Bowline. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |
Very good indeed. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
Bowline. You are on 57. The high scorers are Daniel and Rich on 100. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:13 | |
If you can score 42 or less with this answer, you're in the next round. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
There's your red line. Bowline. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said bowline. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
Well done, Gill, you're through! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
28 for bowline. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
Takes your total up to 85. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
They call it the king of knots, the bowline. Incredibly strong. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
The king of knots. The bowline. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Rabbit comes out the hole, round the tree, back into the hole. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
Yeah, but we're just doing a quiz. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
No, you're right. That's how one would tie one. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
-Indeed. -Familiar to sailors everywhere. Bowlines. -Absolutely. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
Morgan, you are on 15. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Our high scorers are Daniel and Rich on 100. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
There is a pointless answer on that board. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
I think you're the man to pick it out. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
My mum's a Guider, so she does lots of knots. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
So I should be good. But with the 100, I'm going to have to say figure of eight. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
The figure of eight knot. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
OK, you have to score 84 or less. There's your red line. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
If you come below that red line, you're through to the next round. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
Is it right and, if so, how many people said figure of eight. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
It's right. You're through. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
Wow! | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Very, very impressive score, Morgan. That takes your total to 18. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:54 | |
-Richard? -Well played, Morgan. Good answer. Your mother will be happy! | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
It's used to take the strain in sailing and rock climbing. Attaching ropes to harnesses. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:06 | |
The figure of eight. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
OK. Thank you very much. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Now... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-Daniel? -Well, it's time to take a little bit of a punt. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:17 | |
Let's go with monkey's fist. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
Monkey's fist. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
It's a punt. There it is. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
Let's hope that is a correct answer. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
And if it is, let's see how many people said monkey's fist. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Well done, Daniel, it's right. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Very good. I hope this goes a long way down. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
Let's see... Yes! | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Very well done indeed! | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to the jackpot, | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
taking the total up to £6,250. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
Most importantly, it scores nothing, leaving your total at 100. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-Well done. Richard? -Good answer, Daniel. Good risk to take. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
A knot that's used to add weight to the end of a rope before you throw it. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
Now, then. Jonathan. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
The high scorers are still Daniel and Rich on 100 points. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
You're on 10 points. If you score 89 or less with your answer, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
you are through to the next round. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
I'm sure granny knot and clove hitch are knots. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
Shackelford sounds interesting. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
But I think we can afford to be cautious, so I'll go clove hitch. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
Clove hitch. If clove hitch gets you below that red line, it's nice and high, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
you are through to the next round. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said it. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
Well done, and you're through! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Very good. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
Very well done. Clove hitch scores 9, taking your total to 19. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
-Richard? -Well played, Jonathan. You've learned well. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
A clove hitch is essentially two half hitches. A clove hitch. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
What else is on the board? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
Yes, granny knot was also a correct answer. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
Would have scored 35 points. Were you tempted with Shackelford? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
I was wondering if it was confusing with Shackleton, as in the explorer. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:21 | |
That's why I was cautious. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
It was Ted Shackelford who played Gary Ewing in Knots Landing! | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
So very lucky you avoided it! | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
And Skibo, Skibo Castle where many people tie the knot! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
Including Madonna and Guy Ritchie. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
is Rich and Daniel. Bad luck. What have you learnt | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-from your short spell on...? -Not to go first! | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
"Not to go first"! A good strategy to bring back next time! Anyway, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
we look forward to seeing you next time. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
So one team will be leaving at the end of this round. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Our category for Round Two this afternoon is... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
Soap Families. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Please step up to the podium. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
Our second round question concerns... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
EastEnders characters and their surnames. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
In this round, we'll show you a list of pairs of EastEnders characters past and present. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
We asked 100 people to tell us which surname is or has been shared by each pair. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
Richard? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Six pairs of Christian names on each pass. Give us a surname. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
The more obscure ones score fewer points. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
An incorrect surname scores 100 points. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
There are 12 in all across the two passes. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
The surname that is or has been shared by each of these pairs of EastEnders characters. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:18 | |
Here we go. We have got... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
I'll read those one more time. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
As always on Pointless, we're looking for the answer the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
Jonathan, are you or are you not an EastEnders viewer? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
I think I saw it once in 1985! | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
Right, OK. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
I recognise one pair. I think it's the absolute obvious answer. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:57 | |
It'll probably score 100 anyway. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Phil and Grant Mitchell. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
-Phil and Grant Mitchell. -I've no idea who any of the others are. -OK. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
Phil and Grant Mitchell. Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people knew that. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:11 | |
Phil and Grant Mitchell. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
72. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
It's not a terrible score. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
And remember, you've taken probably the obvious lifeline answer off the board. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
Richard? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
Yes, the Mitchell brothers, played by Ross Kemp and Steve McFadden. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now, Morgan. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
There are the pairs of characters. You have to supply a surname. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:45 | |
I definitely knew the top one, Mitchell. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
That was pretty much it. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
I think I know Ricky and Janine. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-I'm hoping it's Fowler, but I'm not 100%. -Ricky and Janine, you're saying Fowler. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
You hope Fowler. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Ricky and Janine Fowler. Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said Fowler. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
Morgan, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
so you've scored the maximum of 100 points. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
But I have a feeling it may not be the last 100 points we see | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
on this round. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-Richard? -Sorry, Morgan. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Ricky Fowler is an American golfer, but I won't give you the right answer, in case Gill wants a go. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:28 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now, Gill? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
-Do you watch EastEnders? -Not at all! -Right. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
It's going to be one of those great high-scoring rounds! | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
I'm going to have a stab at Ricky and Janine...Mason. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:48 | |
Ricky and Janine Mason. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people knew that answer. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
No. Bad luck. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
That also is an incorrect answer, so you also score 100 points. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
-Richard? -A category you either know or you don't. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
I suspect plenty of people at home will have got all six | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
and other people only got the top one. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Ricky and Janine Butcher scored 51. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Robbie and Carol Jackson scored 24. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
Stacey and Zoe is Slater. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
That would have scored you 39. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Chelsea and Libby is Fox. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
That scored 10. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
And Mickey and Darren are the Millers, for 6 points. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
Very well done if you said Mickey and Darren Miller. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
OK, thanks, Richard. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
We're halfway through the round. Let's see the scores. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Jonathan and Alison. Looking very strong there! | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
On 72. Then we go up a bit from you | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
and we come to Morgan and Simon and Gill and Gee | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
on 100 points each. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Can the second players take their places at the podium? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
OK. Six more EastEnders pairs on the board. Here they are. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
We have got... | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Let me read those one more time. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
We are looking for the surname which is or has been shared by each pair. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:35 | |
You are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
-Gee, I think you'll be good at this. -Well... | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
But I think they're all well-known. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
-But I'll go for Alfie and Spencer Moon. -Alfie and Spencer Moon. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
-Yeah. -OK. You are the joint high scorers on 100 points. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
You hope to score as few points as possible. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
-You've gone for Alfie and Spencer Moon. -Yeah. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
Let's see if Moon is the surname for Alfie and Spencer. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
And, if so, let's see how many people knew that answer. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Well done. It's right. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
59. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Moon scores 59. Takes your total up to 159. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
-Richard? -Yes, the lowest score we've had so far. -Yeah. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
Alfie and Spencer Moon. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then. Simon. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
The high scorers are Gee and Gill on 159. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
If you can score 58 or less, you're through to the head-to-head. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
That's the trick, though, isn't it? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Uh-huh! | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
I watched it once, and I think Arthur and Mark are Fowler. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:49 | |
Arthur and Mark Fowler. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
You need to score 58 or less. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
There is your red line. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people knew that answer. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
Mark and Arthur Fowler. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
It's right. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
And you are through to the next round. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
Very, very well done, Simon. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Very well answered. That scores 43, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
taking your total to 143. Richard? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Well done. Although all you did was give the same answer as Morgan, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
but this time it was right! | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
Well played. Good answer. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now we have a contest on our hands. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
Gee and Gill are the high scorers on 159. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
Alison and Jonathan are on 72. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Alison, if you score 86 or less with this answer, you're in the next round. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
-Do you ever watch EastEnders? -I did watch it a bit when I was younger, | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
and my mother watches it, and when I stay with her, it's on in the same room. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
Johnny and Ruby mean absolutely nothing to me. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
Shirley and Zsa Zsa, I can picture Shirley, but haven't a clue what her surname is. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
Bradley and Jack, I can picture Bradley. He seems very nice. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
And Ian and Pete is the one I'm going to go for. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
I'm going for Ian and Pete Beale. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
Ian and Pete Beale. Like I said, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
you want to score 86 or less with that. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
There is your red line. If Ian and Pete Beale | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
get you below that red line, you are in the head-to-head. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Best of luck. Is it right and, if so, how many people said Ian and Pete Beale? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Yep. Well done. You're through to the head-to-head. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Ian and Pete Beale did it for you. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
65 they score you, taking your total up to 137. Richard? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
Well done. Ian and Pete Beale, Ian being the longest-running male character on EastEnders. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
Let's look at the other three. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
Bradley and Jack, who've been much in evidence more recently are the Brannings. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
That would have scored 29 points. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
Johnny and Ruby are the Allens. They would have scored 8. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
And Shirley and Zsa Zsa are the Carters. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
That scores 5. Very well done if you got that one. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
Very good. Thanks, Richard. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
At the end of Round Two, the losing pair | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
with the highest score are Gee and Gill. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
But we will see you again next time. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
We look forward to that. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
Thanks for playing. Great contestants. Thank you. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
For the remaining two pairs, things get more exciting now in the head-to-head! | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
Well done, Jonathan and Alison, Simon and Morgan. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
You're in the head-to-head. Only one pair can make it to today's final | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £6,250. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
You go head-to-head on the best of three questions. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Each pair just need to give me one answer and you may now confer. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
The first pair to get to the best of three plays for today's jackpot. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
Let's play Pointless. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:12 | |
Right. Here is your first question. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name... | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
US states bordering Mexico. Richard? | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
Quite simple, this one. Any US states that share a land border with Mexico, please. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:34 | |
Thanks, Richard. Jonathan and Alison, because you played best so far, you go first. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:39 | |
TEAMS WHISPER | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
OK. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
Have you reached a consensus? | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
We could only think of two, | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
so we're going for Florida. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
-You're going to say... -Florida. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
-OK. Simon and Morgan? -The one we're going for is Texas. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
-Yeah, we're going Texas. -Texas. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
OK, so we have Florida and Texas. Jonathan and Alison said Florida. Is it right | 0:29:15 | 0:29:20 | |
and, if it is... Are you hopeful, Jonathan? | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
-Not really. -Let's see how many people said it. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
Florida. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
-Oh, dear. -Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
Simon and Morgan have said Texas. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
Is it right and, if so, how many people said Texas? | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
It's right, which is all it had to be. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
73. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
A high score, but it merely had to be right. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
After the first question, Simon and Morgan are up one-nil. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
-Richard? -What was the other answer thought of? -Texas! | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
If they'd said Texas, would you have had another answer? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
-Arizona or California. -You'd still have lost. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
There's four. Let's take a look. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
Arizona is the best answer on the board. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
36. Then New Mexico, the clue's in the name. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
On 50. California, 55. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
And Texas, 73. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
Thanks very much. Here is your second question. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:25 | |
Jonathan and Alison, you have to win this question to stay in the game. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:30 | |
If Simon and Morgan win this, you're in the final. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
as many Manchester United managers as they could. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
Manchester United Managers. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
Any of the seven men who've managed Manchester United from 1950 to 2011. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:47 | |
We won't accept Jimmy Murphy, who took over briefly after the Munich air disaster. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
Any of the seven men who've managed Manchester United from 1950 to 2011. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:59 | |
OK, thanks, Richard. Simon and Morgan, you go first this time. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
-OK, we have an answer. -We're going for Ron Atkinson. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
Ron Atkinson. OK, thanks very much. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
Ron Atkinson has been taken. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Jonathan and Alison, you have to answer in such a way | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
that you win this question. Otherwise, we say goodbye to you. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
I think - and this is an uneducated guess - Alf Ramsey. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:29 | |
Alf Ramsey. OK. We have Ron Atkinson. We have Alf Ramsey. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
Simon and Morgan said Ron Atkinson. Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said Ron Atkinson. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:41 | |
This will decide, possibly, who goes through to the final. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:45 | |
It's right. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
24. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:54 | |
24 for Ron Atkinson. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Jonathan and Alison are going with Alf Ramsey. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
This is a bit of a stab in the dark, isn't it? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
-Very much. -A big stab in the dark! -It had to be someone obscure. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
You're hoping maybe this is right and scores lower than 24. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:18 | |
OK. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:19 | |
It has to for you to stay in the game. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
Good luck. Alf Ramsey. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said it. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Bad luck! | 0:32:32 | 0:32:33 | |
I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means Simon and Morgan are through to the final, two-nil. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:40 | |
-Richard? -Unlucky, guys. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:41 | |
Sir Alf Ramsey was the Ipswich boss. That was his big job. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
There are seven names on the list. Only seven managers in 60-odd years. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
Let's look at all the names. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
Wilf McGuinness was the best answer on the board with 5. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
Frank O'Farrell and Dave Sexton scored 10. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
Tommy Docherty, 21. Ron Atkinson, 24. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
These top two answers have managed the club for nearly 50 years between them. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
Sir Matt Busby, 52, and Alex Ferguson at the top, on 86. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:09 | |
Thanks very much. Alison, did you recognise one of those? | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
I recognise Tommy Docherty now, because my brother was interested in football in his late teens. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:20 | |
He supported Manchester United because we're from the north-west, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
and Tommy Docherty was the manager in those days. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:27 | |
-Oh, dear! -Oh, well. -Oh, well, there you are. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Jonathan and Alison. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:35 | |
-I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you now. It's been great having you on both shows. -Thank you. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:40 | |
You've done well in the second show to get to the head-to-head. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:45 | |
-It's the end of the road. Thanks very much for playing! -Thank you! | 0:33:45 | 0:33:50 | |
For Simon and Morgan, time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £6,250. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:57 | |
Congratulations, Simon and Morgan. You've beaten the competition and won our Pointless trophy. Well done. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:11 | |
Now, a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £6,250. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:25 | |
The rules are simple. To win that money, you have to find a pointless answer | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
that none of our 100 people could think of. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
We've had one pointless answer on the show today. Just find one more and you take home that money. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:40 | |
First, you've got to choose a category | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
from these three options. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
They are... | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
Composers, American Actresses or Baseball. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
What do you think? | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
Composers - there's Mozart and that's about all I know. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
A few more. American Actresses. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
Not really. It could be anything. Monroe or something more recent. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:09 | |
-Baseball. I like sport, so I'd say Baseball is the best one...? -Well, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:14 | |
yeah, I'd have to go with that. American Actresses, there are so many. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:19 | |
-I don't know... -Go Composers and you'll do it yourself! | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
Composers - I know about four more than him. Baseball, I think. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
Not the best sport for us, | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
but the best chance we've got. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
What would be a good category within Baseball for you? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
-Teams, probably. -Teams. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
Let's find out what the question is. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name... | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
Richard? | 0:35:45 | 0:35:46 | |
Any team who played Major League US baseball in the 2010 season, American League or National League. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:52 | |
Anyone who played in the 2010 series which ended in November 2010. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:57 | |
-Very best of luck. -OK. You have up to one minute to come up with three answers, | 0:35:57 | 0:36:02 | |
and all you need to win that £6,250 is for one of those answers to be pointless. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:08 | |
Your 60 seconds start now. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
LA Dodgers, | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
Yankees, Boston Red Sox, | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
Washington Capitals or Nationals, not sure which one it is. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
-Minnesota Wild. -Minnesota Wild. Isn't that ice hockey? | 0:36:19 | 0:36:24 | |
-Golden State. -I'm not sure. Definitely got to go for Anaheim Angels. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
-Yeah. -That's got to be one. -Anaheim Angels. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
-Washington is good, but I'm not sure if it's Capitals or Nationals. -Washington Nationals. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
And I think Minnesota Wild. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
-That's it. -Golden State Lions. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
I think it's Golden State Warriors. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
Warriors, yeah. OK. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
Golden State Warriors. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
-I think Capitals. -Washington Capitals. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
-I think it's Washington Nationals. -I think that might be pointless. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:56 | |
OK. And is that it? | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
-And then Anaheim Angels? -Go Anaheim Angels. -Five seconds left. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:04 | |
OK, I think we've argued it out! | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
OK. Your time is up. We're looking for Major League baseball teams. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:12 | |
I now need your three answers. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
-OK. -Anaheim Angels. -Anaheim Angels. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
-The Anaheim Angels. -California. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
Washington - we're not sure which is baseball and which basketball. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
-So we're going for Washington Nationals. -Nationals. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
-And the Washington Capitals. -Washington Capitals. -One is a baseball team, | 0:37:26 | 0:37:31 | |
-but we think the other's basketball. -We're not sure. -Cover your options. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
-Sensible. But whichever it is... -It's not very well known. -Not very well known at all. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:41 | |
-OK, just confirm the order you want them to go up in. -OK. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
-Anaheim Angels. -Anaheim Angels. -Washington Capitals. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
-Capitals. -And Washington Nationals. -Nationals last. -Yes. -OK. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:53 | |
Here they are... | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
There they are. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
We were looking for Major League baseball teams. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:07 | |
You said this was your least confident answer. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
You only need one pointless answer to win that jackpot. £6,250. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:16 | |
Let's see how many people said Anaheim Angels. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
Is it right? How many people said it? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
It has to be right and it has to be pointless. Good luck. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
It's right. OK, you knew this was going to be right... | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
..but this will show us how much our 100 people know about baseball. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:38 | |
Unfortunately, that is not a pointless answer. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
Mind you, I think we can draw a lot of optimism from that! | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
My goodness, if that's how well they know their baseball. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
Two more chances to win today's jackpot. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
£6,250. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
What would you do with that? | 0:39:03 | 0:39:05 | |
I've got university next year, so a lot would go towards that. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:09 | |
But probably a holiday, spend something on myself. I'm not sure. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:13 | |
Maybe something for your old dad? | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
I was planning to use my portion... we're interested in an exotic cycling holiday. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:21 | |
-We were looking at Jordan. -Will she want to come?! -It's not the best place... | 0:39:21 | 0:39:26 | |
-I'm not sure that would be enough, either! -No, no! | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
You've done something strategic here. One of these remaining answers is wrong. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:37 | |
And one is going to be so right. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
-We hope so. -Yeah. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
We don't know which one it is. OK, well, very, very best of luck. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:48 | |
It's an either/or. Russian roulette. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
Washington Capitals is your next answer. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
We're looking for Major League US baseball teams. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
This one has to be right and pointless to win that jackpot. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:02 | |
For £6,250, let's see if the Washington Capitals is right | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
and, if so, how many people said it. Washington Capitals. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
-Washington Capitals... -Wrong! -..is not the right answer. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:20 | |
OK. Which one of you said Washington Capitals and which one Nationals? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
-I'll blame him! -Fair enough! I can't remember, to be honest! | 0:40:24 | 0:40:28 | |
I'm pretty sure one of them is a baseball team. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
So, hopefully, it's not going to be a cross from the next one. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
-But... -And it's so obscure. Yeah. -Exactly. -OK. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:39 | |
Only one more chance to win today's jackpot. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
It's all resting on the Washington Nationals. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
-You've got to hope that's not their darts team! -Yeah! | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £6,250. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:57 | |
The Washington Nationals. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
Just them standing between you and £6,250. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:05 | |
The Washington Nationals. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
Is it right? How many people said Washington Nationals? | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
It's right! | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
OK. The Anaheim Angels took us down to 1. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
This is your last and final shot | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
at that jackpot. £6,250. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
Oh, no! | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
Unfortunately, we didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
I'm really sorry to say you don't win today's jackpot of £6,250, | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
which rolls over to the next show. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
You've been fantastic contestants. You get to take home our Pointless trophy. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:55 | |
-Richard? -That's unlucky. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
A couple of teams this series have got two scores of one in the jackpot round. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:11 | |
It's very tough. The answers you did give, | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
the Anaheim Angels, also known as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
The Angels. The Washington Capitals are an ice hockey team. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
-Yeah. -Let's look at the pointless answers. You'll recognise them, | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
so I apologise in advance! | 0:42:25 | 0:42:26 | |
Let's take a look. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
and the Kansas City Royals were pointless. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
Three other teams...the Oakland Athletics, Philadelphia Phillies, | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
who won the World Series in 2008 - | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
they lost more baseball games than any other team in history, | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
the Philadelphia Phillies, because they've been going so long. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
They've lost over 10,000 games. And the Seattle Mariners. Those were the pointless answers. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
You knew some of those. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
I knew the Rockies, but they didn't enter my head. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Simon and Morgan. Thank you so much for playing. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:03 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
Nobody's won our jackpot today, | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
so it rolls over on to the next show, | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
when we'll be playing for £7,250. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win it! | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
-It's goodbye from Richard... -Goodbye. -And it's goodbye from me! Goodbye! | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
