0:00:19 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29A warm welcome to Pointless,

0:00:29 > 0:00:33the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40First, we welcome Wayne and Hel.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45You are our first players. What fantastic names. Wayne and Hel.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Thank you.- You're our first pair today. How do you know each other?

0:00:48 > 0:00:51We met a few years ago, working for the same firm.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- I gave him a piece of A4 paper for his pains.- Mm.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Inevitably, you're going to have to tell us a bit more, Hel.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00You've left me scrabbling.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03He used to wander about the office being stopped by people.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05"Can you do this? Can you do that?"

0:01:05 > 0:01:09So I gave him a piece of blank A4 paper, said "Carry that around",

0:01:09 > 0:01:12and he did, and nobody stopped him, and he got masses done.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15You have just unlocked...

0:01:15 > 0:01:16LAUGHTER

0:01:17 > 0:01:19..an entire nation's...

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm so sorry, I'm-I'm busy.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Nothing on it.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Um, Hel. What's Hel short for?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31It is. That's Hel.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32- Hel.- Just Hel.- Literally, just Hel?

0:01:32 > 0:01:37Yes, the Viking goddess of the underworld, daughter of Loki.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Loki's daughter, of course.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43Now you put it like that, I now know exactly which Hel you're referring to.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Um, Wayne, where are you from?

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Um, Newark just outside Nottingham.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Oh, yes. I've never been to Newark, but I gather it's very beautiful.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Very picturesque. Little market town.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Great having you here. Good luck. Hope you enjoy the show.- Thank you.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03And next, we welcome Andy and Ian. How do you two know each other?

0:02:03 > 0:02:07We've been running a young person's holiday for 12 years in the Lake District.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Fantastic. What time of year?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12In August for a week to ten days, for 12 to 18-year-olds.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15So what do you do the rest of the time?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm a teacher in Harpenden.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Another teacher.- Mm. - Can't move for teachers.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- What do you teach? - Geography to 11 to 18-year-olds.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24And, Ian, how about you?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm a vicar living up in Manchester.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31I was going to say, "What do you do when you're not being a vicar?" But that's full-time.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's a very full-time vocation. I've brought my collar.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39If we win, which we won't... I will put this dog collar on for you later on.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41OK, well, thank you very much.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43LAUGHTER

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Very best of luck. It's lovely having you here.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50We welcome back Gill and Gee. You were on the show last time.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless Final. This is your second chance.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Remind us how you did.- We went out in the second round, Alexander.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Our downfall... My downfall was EastEnders.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yeah, I know, that was really tough.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Gill, what would you like to come up this afternoon?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Anything except EastEnders.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- I think it's all EastEnders today. - Yes, EastEnders special.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, fantastic.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Gee, what would you like to see come up this afternoon? - EastEnders would be lovely.

0:03:19 > 0:03:25Um, music, not too recent music. Bit more further back. That would be nice.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Very good luck to the pair of you. It's great to have you back.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Finally we welcome Rich and Daniel. You were also on the show last time.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Remind us how you did.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37We bowed out gracefully in Round One.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Someone had to. Someone had to. It was Knots, wasn't it?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Yes.- It was Knots. - Not our finest hour.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Knots, very hard.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50Like EastEnders, you either know about knots or you don't.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53As it turned out, you didn't.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58Best of luck to you both. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00There's only one person left for me to introduce.

0:04:00 > 0:04:05In an obscurity sandwich, he's today's tasty filling. He's my Pointless friend.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07He's Richard!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Hello.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18This is great.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- That blank sheet of paper?- Why didn't I think of this 160 shows ago?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- All that work I've had to do. - I know.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Should be a good show today. Two returning pairs.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32Neither of them made it to the Head To Head, so I suspect they'll be looking to go further.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Our first vicar, I think.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38So, welcome along. And also, you're playing against Hel.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40LAUGHTER

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yeah, no, daughter of Loki. Just...

0:04:43 > 0:04:47You're playing against Hel, daughter of Loki.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50I always felt "low key" was very much an undersung goddess.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52GROANING

0:04:52 > 0:04:54LAUGHTER

0:04:54 > 0:04:59You see? And they'll be plenty more of that calibre on the red button.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06OK, now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show,

0:05:06 > 0:05:10but this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18and when that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24So today's jackpot starts off

0:05:24 > 0:05:26at £7,250.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Right, let's play Pointless.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42In the first round, you all give me one answer.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43You cannot confer with your partner.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they score the maximum of 100 points.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58So do be careful. Our first category this afternoon is the Olympics.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:06:11 > 0:06:17to name as many British female Olympic gold medal winners as they could.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20British female Olympic gold medal winners. Richard?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22We're looking for any female competitor

0:06:22 > 0:06:25who's won at least one gold medal for Britain

0:06:25 > 0:06:27in any winter or summer Olympic Games,

0:06:27 > 0:06:30either as an individual or in a team sport,

0:06:30 > 0:06:34up to and including the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Thanks, Richard. Wayne and Hel, you all drew lots before the show,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40and this afternoon, you get to go first.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, Wayne.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Olympics. What are you thinking?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47There's a few obvious ones.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52I don't know whether to go for that or just make a name up.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Um...- I would go somewhere between those two extremes.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58LAUGHTER

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Um...

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Rebecca Adlington.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Rebecca Adlington, you are saying.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10You hope to score as few points as possible.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's right.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh. Go on, go on, go on, go on!

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Very well done. Wayne, that's great.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:23 > 0:07:26That's a superb score.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Eight for Rebecca Adlington. Richard?

0:07:29 > 0:07:35Good start, Wayne. She won two gold medals in the 400m and 800m freestyle in Beijing.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37They named the swimming pool in Mansfield after her.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Did it have a paddling-ton pool at one end?

0:07:40 > 0:07:42GROANING

0:07:42 > 0:07:47See? Like I said. That shows that first gag was actually the high water mark.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50They're going to get distinctly worse.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Now then, Ian,

0:07:53 > 0:07:59what is the most obscure British female Olympic gold medal winner you can think of?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Er, probably a very obvious answer to anybody who watches sport,

0:08:03 > 0:08:08but back to the 1980s, and I'm going to take a guess at Tessa Sanderson.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Let's see if it's correct, and if so, how many of our 100 said it.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17There we are. Very well done.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Very good, Ian.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24APPLAUSE

0:08:24 > 0:08:29Extremely good. 16 points for Tessa Sanderson.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35Well played, Ian. She won the javelin gold at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39And she's got a housing estate named after her in Wolverhampton.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Gee, we come to you.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45OK, I've two answers, but I think they're both going to be popular.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47One of them I'm not sure of,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50and I'll go for that one because it'll be less popular.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Victoria Pendleton.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Let's see if it's right and if so, how many said it. Good luck, Gee.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's right. Very well done.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Ooh, not too bad.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Not bad at all. Look at that! Three for Gee!

0:09:07 > 0:09:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Very well done.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Three points for Victoria Pendleton. - Well played, Gee.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21She won the women's sprint cycling at the Beijing Olympics.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25I think it's going to be one of those rounds where everybody gets quite a low score.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29OK, thanks, Richard. So, then, Rich.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Yes. - Remember, we're looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37I thought I played it safe last time, but obviously failed miserably

0:09:37 > 0:09:41so this time I'm going to go for Sally Gunnell.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Let's see if Sally Gunnell's right and if so, how many said it.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Well done, it's right.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Not a bad score at all.

0:09:54 > 0:09:5614 for Sally Gunnell.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06There's a famous, um, subterranean access route.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Isn't there a Gunnell Tunnel somewhere? There must be.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, dear, sorry.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13LAUGHTER

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Oh, dear.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21She won the 400m hurdles at the Barcelona Olympics,

0:10:21 > 0:10:24and once held the Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles,

0:10:24 > 0:10:29the only woman ever to have done that in the history of athletics.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Very impressive indeed. - Yeah, and what a tunnel.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33LAUGHTER

0:10:34 > 0:10:40Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41On three, Gee and Gill.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Brilliant low score there.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Very, very well done.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Then Wayne and Hel on eight.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Lovely answer there with Rebecca Adlington.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Then up to Rich and Daniel on 14,

0:10:53 > 0:10:55and up to Ian and Andy on 16.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57So, Andy, the pressure is on you

0:10:57 > 0:11:00to make sure you can answer as obscurely as possible.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:11:06 > 0:11:12OK, we are looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15And, Daniel, you are on 14.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18The high scorers on 16 are Andy and Ian,

0:11:18 > 0:11:21so if you can score one point or less,

0:11:21 > 0:11:26you are definitely through to the next round.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28What do you think, Daniel?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Let's go with...

0:11:33 > 0:11:35..Zara Phillips.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Zara Phillips.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39There is a red line there at the very bottom of the column.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42That's the line you want to smash through,

0:11:42 > 0:11:45to ensure that you're in the next round.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Let's see if Zara Phillips is right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Bad luck, Daniel. Unfortunately, that is a wrong answer,

0:11:59 > 0:12:03which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Bad luck. Richard.

0:12:05 > 0:12:10Sorry, Daniel. She won BBC Sports Personality of the Year but never an Olympic gold.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Gill, we are looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15You're on three.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18The high scorers on 114 are Daniel and Rich.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It doesn't matter what you score.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23You're through to the next round, come what may.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28Nonetheless, there might be a pointless answer that only you know.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I've got several in mind,

0:12:30 > 0:12:34but I'm going to go for a blast from the past, Mary Peters.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Mary Peters. Gee is so happy with that.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42Because it was in my head and I just couldn't remember the surname.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- But I can see her. - Was she that big?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47She was when she went through the winning line.

0:12:47 > 0:12:53Oh, I see. I was going to say, that's not normally the scale one associates with...

0:12:54 > 0:12:59Mary Peters. Let's see if it's right and if so, how many people said it.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03It's right.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Seven points. Very well done, Gill.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13APPLAUSE

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Seven for Mary Peters. That takes your total up to ten.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21Yeah, Dame Mary Peters. She won the pentathlon gold in Munich in 1972.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26An athletics track in Northern Ireland is named after her, which seems appropriate.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Swimming pool for Rebecca Adlington,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31an athletics track for Mary Peters,

0:13:31 > 0:13:36and a housing estate built on her old school playing field for Tessa Sanderson.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38LAUGHTER

0:13:38 > 0:13:40And of course, a tunnel for Sally Gunnell.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42LAUGHTER

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Andy.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48Remember, we're looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners.

0:13:48 > 0:13:54You are on 16. The high scorers, Daniel and Rich, are on 114.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59You need to score 97 or less with this answer

0:13:59 > 0:14:01to make sure you get through to the next round.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05I've got one from the winter Olympics and one for the summer.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Um, probably the summer Olympics is a bit safer,

0:14:08 > 0:14:09so I'll go for that,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11and I'm going to name Denise Lewis.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16There is your red line. If you come below that, you go to the next round.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Denise Lewis. Let's see how many people said Denise Lewis.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Well done, you're through.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Very well done. Eight points for Denise Lewis.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35That takes your total up to 24.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Richard.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Er, yeah, she won the heptathlon in Sydney.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43And again, it's a low score.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Now, then, Hel. Even if you score 100 points,

0:14:46 > 0:14:51you will not overtake Daniel and Rich's high score of 114.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Nonetheless, you are perfectly qualified

0:14:53 > 0:14:59to whip out a pointless answer and add £250 to the jackpot.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I, too, have two possible answers,

0:15:02 > 0:15:08a winter one I'm pretty sure of and a summer one that I'm doubtful.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10You can tell us both

0:15:10 > 0:15:13then submit the one you want cos you're the last to play.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14OK, I'm thinking, summer one,

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Her Royal Highness Princess Anne,

0:15:16 > 0:15:21with the dressage or three-day-eventing team.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25However, I'm even more sure Jayne Torvill won for the winter Olympics.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29I think it's going to be a high score, I really do.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Doesn't matter. You're through, come what may.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- You're going with Jayne Torvill. - Jayne Torvill.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Let's see if Jayne Torvill did win a gold medal at the Olympics,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41and if she did, let's see how many people said it.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44- Very well done.- Ooh!

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Go on! Go on! Go on!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Very well done. Look at that!

0:15:50 > 0:15:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well done, Hel!

0:15:58 > 0:16:02That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05takes the total up to £7,500.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08It scores you nothing and leaves your total at eight.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Oh!

0:16:10 > 0:16:12LAUGHTER

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Jayne Torvill, overlooked in this category.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Very, very well done, Hel.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21The best I can do on her is there's a housing estate in Nottingham

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- which has a Torvill Drive and a Dean Close.- Yes.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Of course.- Just down the road.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers. Loads of them.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31A very low-scoring round.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Ann Packer, who won the 800m in 1964.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39Christine Ohuruogu, who won the 400m in Beijing. A pointless answer.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Gillian Sheen won a fencing gold in 1956.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46There's Jayne Torvill, there's Judy Grinham, the swimmer,

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Rebecca Romero, who won a silver in rowing

0:16:49 > 0:16:52and then a gold in cycling four years later.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Rhona Martin, who was the curler, again a pointless answer.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58All of that curling team were pointless answers.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Sarah Ayton, again, who was on the Yngling team.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04She and all of her crew mates were pointless answers,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07and Stephanie Cook, the modern pentathlete who won in 2000.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10All pointless answers, and plenty more besides.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Let's see the most popular answers that most of our 100 said.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Again, you'll see they're quite low.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Sally Gunnell, actually the third most popular answer, 14.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24Tessa Sanderson, 16, and way ahead, Kelly Holmes on 40 points.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Thank you, Richard.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score, Daniel and Rich, it's you.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Well...- This wasn't meant to happen.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It was my fault last time and your fault this time.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- At least we're even.- Yeah.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Dear, oh, dear.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42You did the right thing, Daniel.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45You tried to find a nice, obscure answer.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- It was just a bit too obscure. - Yeah.- Great shame to be saying goodbye to you so soon.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52You have been fantastic. Thanks so much for playing.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54APPLAUSE

0:17:55 > 0:17:58For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Now, only two pairs can make it to the Head To Head,

0:18:07 > 0:18:10so one team leaves us at the end of this round.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12The category for Round Two is...

0:18:13 > 0:18:15..Books.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Can you all decide in your pairs

0:18:17 > 0:18:20who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:18:20 > 0:18:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Our Round Two question this afternoon concerns

0:18:27 > 0:18:32debut novels and their authors.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Debut novels and their authors.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39In this round, we show you a list of debut fiction novels of some famous authors.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42We asked 100 people to tell us who wrote each one of them.

0:18:42 > 0:18:48- Richard.- We'll show you six novels on each pass. All you do is tell us who wrote them.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50More obscure ones score fewer points.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53An incorrect answer scores 100 points.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56There's six on each pass, so 12 to have a go at at home.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01Thanks, Richard. So we're looking for the authors of these debut fiction novels.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03And here we are.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06We've got Frankenstein, The Gremlins,

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Treasure Island, White Teeth,

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Casino Royale, P.S. I Love You.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'll read those one more time.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Frankenstein, The Gremlins,

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Treasure Island, White Teeth,

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Casino Royale, P.S. I Love You.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Now, as always on Pointless,

0:19:21 > 0:19:24you are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people gave.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, then, Hel.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'll go for the one that I'm sure of.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Frankenstein and Mary Shelley.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37OK, Mary Shelley, you're saying, for Frankenstein.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's correct.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Ohh.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46APPLAUSE

0:19:46 > 0:19:4843.

0:19:49 > 0:19:5343 for Frankenstein. Richard.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Yeah, better safe than sorry, Hel.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59She was only 21 when that was published, Mary Shelley, in 1818.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Andy. Debut novels. Of these debut novels, how many have you read?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07How many have I read? Um, zero. None of them.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11How many of them are you on nodding terms with?

0:20:11 > 0:20:16On nodding terms, I know the stories of about four of them, maybe.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19The authors, I know one of them, and that one has gone.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'll go for one I haven't heard of,

0:20:21 > 0:20:25and the only one I haven't heard of is White Teeth.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27And it is possible, though unlikely,

0:20:27 > 0:20:30the author could be Catherine Cookson.

0:20:30 > 0:20:35I don't have a clue what White Teeth is about. It's a bad guess.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37It's a guess.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39LAUGHTER

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Bad luck, Andy. No, you did what you had to do.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's impossible if you don't know.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Sadly, it was wrong. It's scored you 100 points.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Richard.- Yeah, unlucky, Andy.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00But the good news is, I'm pretty certain all the kids at your school

0:21:00 > 0:21:03will be absolutely fine about that.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08- You'll never hear any more about it(!)- At least it wasn't a geography question.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Now, then, Gill.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14Remember, we are looking for the authors of these debut novels.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think I'll go with White Teeth, which is by Zadie Smith.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Very good. Zadie Smith. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people knew.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's right.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Very well done, Gill. That's a great answer.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Zadie Smith scores you 11 points.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42- Richard.- Well played, Gill.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Published in 2000.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49It's very much her tribute to Catherine Cookson, White Teeth.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53The biggest scorer, Casino Royale,

0:21:53 > 0:21:56which like all the original Bond books was Ian Fleming,

0:21:56 > 0:21:58would have scored you 57 points.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson, would have scored 53,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04P.S. I Love You was Cecilia Ahern,

0:22:04 > 0:22:08who's the daughter of former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern,

0:22:08 > 0:22:09would have scored eight.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13The Gremlins. It's not the book that the film was based on.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's Roald Dahl's first book.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18That scored one point, so, well done if you said that at home.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Is that an Air Force novel?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yeah, it was about his experiences.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26The gremlins were things that got into the planes and made things go wrong.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Yeah.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31OK, we're halfway through. Let's look at the scores.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35Brilliant answer from Gill, lovely low score, 11 points.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Then we come up to Hel on 43.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Quite high, but in the context, not so bad,

0:22:40 > 0:22:44given that Andy and Ian are way out in front on 100.

0:22:44 > 0:22:50So, Ian, your best hope of salvation in the context of this game

0:22:50 > 0:22:53is that someone else makes a mistake

0:22:53 > 0:22:56and you find a pointless answer.

0:22:57 > 0:23:03We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09OK, we're going to put six more debut fiction novels on the board.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Here they are. We have got The Pickwick Papers, Trainspotting,

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Digital Fortress, Lord Of The Flies,

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Brick Lane, Carrie.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I shall read those one more time.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23The Pickwick Papers, Trainspotting,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Digital Fortress, Lord Of The Flies,

0:23:25 > 0:23:26Brick Lane and Carrie.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28We are looking for the authors,

0:23:28 > 0:23:32and you are trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Gee.- Yes.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Gill has set you up perfectly. Lovely low score.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41The high scorers are Ian and Andy on 100.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44You are on 11. If you can score 88 or less,

0:23:44 > 0:23:4788 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Mm, I think I'm right.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Lord Of The Flies, William Golding.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Lord Of The Flies, William Golding. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02There is your red line, nice and high.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Let's see if William Golding can get you below that red line.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Very well done. You're through.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11Whoo!

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Oh!

0:24:13 > 0:24:1421, that scores you.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18Takes your total up to 32.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21Richard.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26Well played, Gee. Published in 1954, Lord Of The Flies.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30OK, thanks very much. Ian, you know what you have to do.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32How's that board looking to you?

0:24:32 > 0:24:37It's not looking too bad, except for the 100 points we've already got.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yes, OK.

0:24:40 > 0:24:46And I think we are going to go for Digital Fortress,

0:24:46 > 0:24:51and that was written by Dan Brown.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Digital Fortress, Dan Brown.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59It's right.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Very well done, 13.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Very well done indeed, Ian.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Digital Fortress scores you 13, takes your total to 113.

0:25:14 > 0:25:19- Richard.- Good answer, Ian. He published it five years before The Da Vinci Code,

0:25:19 > 0:25:23and after the success of The Da Vinci Code, even Digital Fortress sold millions.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Now then, Wayne. You are on 43.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29The high scorers on 113 are Ian and Andy.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32If you can score 69 or less with this answer,

0:25:32 > 0:25:34you are through to the Head To Head.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, pressure's really on here cos I don't read.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39You don't read.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44Why read when they make it into a film? It's easier.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, they've made a few of those into films, haven't they?

0:25:47 > 0:25:51The only one I know, but I think it's going to be quite a high one,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53is Carrie and Stephen King.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59Carrie and Stephen King. What are you thinking, Hel?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01I'm thinking the same as Wayne.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05I think, yes, correct, just really high score.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Really high score. - Well, you have to score 69 or less.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Looking at that red line, that's quite a long way down.- Yeah.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15But equally, quite a long way up, as well.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19OK, let's see. You're saying Carrie, Stephen King.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28You're through.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33You are through. Very well done.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Stephen King scores you 38, takes your total up to 81.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37You're through to the Head To Head.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Richard, Carrie.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Yeah, the fourth book he wrote,

0:26:41 > 0:26:44but the first to be published, in 1974. Good answer.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46We'll fill in the rest of the board.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Andy, are there any there you know? - Literature is a weak point.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- I was just giving you the chance to...- No, there's no redemption.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56In the context of this game.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58LAUGHTER

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Not in the classroom.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Let's take a look.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Some of your students hopefully would tell you,

0:27:04 > 0:27:07The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Oh, I did know it, then.- 59 points, that would have scored you.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Trainspotting is Irvine Welsh,

0:27:13 > 0:27:14would have scored 18 points.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17And Brick Lane is the best answer on the board.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Monica Ali would have scored six.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Very well done if you said that.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,

0:27:27 > 0:27:29I'm afraid it's Ian and Andy.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Oh, bad luck.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- I'm sorry, Ian.- There's nothing that we're both good at.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36But, you see, that's good.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Is it?- Yeah, it means you have a much broader range, then.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42And we've just proved that it's good(!)

0:27:42 > 0:27:43LAUGHTER

0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, it is good, though.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48So we don't get to see the dog collar.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Not this time.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55However, Ian, you're going to get a sermon out of this, I'm certain.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58I can tell you, Andy's going to get a sermon out of this.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59LAUGHTER

0:27:59 > 0:28:03Very, very well done. It's a shame to be saying goodbye,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06but we will see you next time. We'll look forward to that.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'm sure you will go much further.

0:28:08 > 0:28:09Thanks for playing.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11APPLAUSE

0:28:13 > 0:28:15But for the remaining two pairs,

0:28:15 > 0:28:19things get even more exciting, as we enter the Head To Head.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28Well done, Gill and Gee, Wayne and Hel, you've made it to the Head To Head.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Obviously, only one pair can make it to today's Final

0:28:30 > 0:28:35and play for the jackpot, which stands at £7,500.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37APPLAUSE

0:28:40 > 0:28:43You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48but you can now confer.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Say an answer that scores less than the other pair, and you win that question.

0:28:52 > 0:28:57The first pair to get to the best of three will go to the Final to play for today's jackpot.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Let's play Pointless.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04OK, here is your first question.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:29:07 > 0:29:12to name as many countries with a population over 100 million as they could.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Richard.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18There are 11 countries with a population over 100 million.

0:29:18 > 0:29:24Philippines is just under 100 million, so any country with a population larger than that.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26We're going on the CIA World Factbook website.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30Their estimate in July 2010.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32See how many of those 11 you can get at home.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34Thanks, Richard. Gee and Gill,

0:29:34 > 0:29:38cos you've played best throughout the show so far, you go first.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40So, countries with a population over 100 million.

0:29:48 > 0:29:49OK, we have an answer.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Yes, India.

0:29:51 > 0:29:52India.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Wayne and Hel, Gill and Gee have said India.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Yeah, we were thinking that as well.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02Um, I think we're going to go for Russia.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03OK, we have India, we have Russia.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07Let's take them in the order they've been given.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Gill and Gee said India. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Ooh!

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Wow, very high score for India.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Wayne and Hel have said Russia.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26Let's see how many people said that, if it is right.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's right.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31And it beats India.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Look at that, 73.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42So after the first question, Wayne and Hel are ahead 1-0.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46- Richard.- A lot of answers on that board that would win the points.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48There's 11, so see how many of these you managed to get.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Nigeria would have scored you five,

0:30:51 > 0:30:55the most populous country in Africa, 150 million people.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57150 million in Bangladesh as well, seven.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Indonesia, 15, Mexico, 17,

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Japan, 26,

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Pakistan, 35. All of these have over 100 million.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Brazil, 48.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10And there's the big ones, Russia, 73,

0:31:10 > 0:31:15India, which has over a billion people, 1.15 at the latest estimate.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17That's 87. United States, 91.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21And the most populous of all, China, with 1.3 billion,

0:31:21 > 0:31:23would have scored you 99 points.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27Very, very well done if you got all of those at home.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Thanks, Richard. Here is your second question.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34Gill and Gee, you have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Good luck. Here it comes.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:31:38 > 0:31:44to name as many Hugh Grant films of the Noughties as they could.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Hugh Grant films of the Noughties. Richard.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49We're looking for any feature film

0:31:49 > 0:31:55given a cinema release between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2009

0:31:55 > 0:31:58for which Hugh Grant's received an acting credit.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Voice performances do count.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Any film after Notting Hill and Mickey Blue Eyes, which were both 1999.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07So any Hugh Grant film of the Noughties.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11OK, thank you very much. Wayne and Hel, you go first this time.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26(I've actually thought of a film, but everybody will say it.)

0:32:26 > 0:32:27WHISPERING

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Yeah? OK. It'll be a high score, though.

0:32:32 > 0:32:37- OK?- Yeah.- You have an answer?- He has.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38And it is?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41The only one we can be sure of, date-wise,

0:32:41 > 0:32:44although it's going to be popular, is Love Actually.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Love Actually. OK, Love Actually.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Gill and Gee?

0:32:49 > 0:32:52The only one I can think of, or we can think of, is

0:32:52 > 0:32:55The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain.

0:32:59 > 0:33:04Think of those old cinemas where they had to stick the letters up. Must have taken them nearly a day!

0:33:04 > 0:33:06- "Let's put ET on!"- Yeah.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08LAUGHTER

0:33:08 > 0:33:12OK. In the order they were given,

0:33:12 > 0:33:17Wayne and Hel have said Love Actually.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Well, let's see.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Is it right? How many people said Love Actually?

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Very well done. It's right.

0:33:27 > 0:33:2930.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38That's not a terrible score, actually, not a terrible score.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Gill and Gee, you have gone for

0:33:41 > 0:33:45The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47And you're confident of this?

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- I don't know it. - Only one I could think of.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53You have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:33:53 > 0:33:59Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:33:59 > 0:34:00Good luck.

0:34:04 > 0:34:05Oh.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Oh, bad luck. Bad luck.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer,

0:34:12 > 0:34:13which means, after only two questions,

0:34:13 > 0:34:17Wayne and Hel are through to the Final 2-0.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Richard? - Yeah, it was a Hugh Grant film,

0:34:20 > 0:34:23but from quite a long time before, from 1995, I'm afraid.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Let's take a look at all the films from the Noughties.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28There's some big films in there.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Small Time Crooks, the Woody Allen film, one point.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34American Dreamz, a TV satire, two.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37Did You Hear About The Morgans? with Sarah Jessica Parker, three.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock, five.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Music And Lyrics with Drew Barrymore, eight.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Then the two Bridget Jones movies,

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Edge Of Reason and Bridget Jones's Diary, both ten.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51About A Boy, the Nick Hornby novel,

0:34:51 > 0:34:54and there's Love Actually at the top on 30.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57So the losing pair at the end of the Head To Head, it's Gill and Gee.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Very tough when the pressure's on, isn't it? Suddenly. Yeah.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Didn't come into mind at the right time.

0:35:04 > 0:35:05I know. That's the trouble.

0:35:05 > 0:35:11It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you very much. You've been excellent.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15But for Wayne and Hel, it's our Pointless Final,

0:35:15 > 0:35:18and the chance to win our jackpot of £7,500.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Congratulations, Wayne and Hel, you've fought off the competition

0:35:29 > 0:35:32and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:42 > 0:35:46and the jackpot stands at £7,500.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48CHEERING

0:35:51 > 0:35:55The rules are simple. To win that money, you find a pointless answer

0:35:55 > 0:35:57that none of our 100 thought of.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00We've had one pointless answer on the show today.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04You only have to find one more now, and you will go home with that money.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06First, choose a category from these three options.

0:36:06 > 0:36:11Composers, American Actresses,

0:36:11 > 0:36:12Politicians.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Politics is not good for me. - Politics is rubbish for me.

0:36:16 > 0:36:22- Um, composers?- I'm better at singers for classical and things like that.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Doesn't have to be old music, though, does it?

0:36:25 > 0:36:29I know, it could be Lennon, McCartney, that kind of thing.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30I don't know.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32American Actresses?

0:36:32 > 0:36:36It could be of the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s or now.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39I don't know, but I think it's our safest bet.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40- That's the one I favour most.- Yeah.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- OK.- OK, you've reached a decision. It's going to be...?

0:36:44 > 0:36:45American Actresses.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48American Actresses. Let's see what the question is.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:36:51 > 0:36:56to name as many Jennifer Aniston films as they could.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Jennifer Aniston films. Richard.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01We're looking for any feature film given a cinema release

0:37:01 > 0:37:07for which Jennifer Aniston has received an acting credit prior to January 2011.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11TV films, short films, documentaries don't count, voice performances do.

0:37:11 > 0:37:16Good luck. Though the accountant has said, if you do win the money, there'll be Hel to pay.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Yay!

0:37:19 > 0:37:21And Wayne.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yeah, when I freeze over.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27I can't believe that would ever happen.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30OK, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32All you need to win that £7,500

0:37:32 > 0:37:35is for one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40I remember seeing two.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- OK.- I saw the one at the cinema with yourself, The Break-Up.

0:37:43 > 0:37:49- And Along Came Polly.- Yeah, there's that.- There was Picture Perfect.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Picture Perfect.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Um, anything else?

0:37:53 > 0:37:56It's romcom, it's not my thing.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01Again, it's not got car chases and explosions in so I don't watch it.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02No, it's true.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03- Um...- Um...

0:38:05 > 0:38:07So we've got three answers to give.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10I think Picture Perfect.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Yep.

0:38:12 > 0:38:13- I think...- The Good Girl.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17- The Good Girl. Never heard of it. - That's an older one. - I'll go with you on that one.

0:38:17 > 0:38:22I'm sure it's got Jake in it. Oh, no, it's... from Spider-Man.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24- What's his name?- Tobey Maguire.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27And I can't think of anything she's voiced over.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29I can think of a Cameron Diaz, but that's...

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- So I'll go for...- Five seconds left.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37- The Good Girl. - Picture Perfect, The Break-Up.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, there is your minute up.

0:38:40 > 0:38:45We were looking for Jennifer Aniston films. I need three answers from you.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47- The Good Girl.- The Good Girl.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Picture Perfect.- Picture Perfect.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53- And The Break-Up.- The Break-Up.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:57 > 0:39:01- The Good Girl. I think. It's the older one.- Yeah.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- OK, The Good Girl, we'll put that last.- Yeah.

0:39:04 > 0:39:09Which is your least likely contender for a pointless answer?

0:39:09 > 0:39:12- The Break-Up.- The Break-Up, because it was fairly recent.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14We'll put that first. Here they are.

0:39:14 > 0:39:19The Break-Up, Picture Perfect, The Good Girl.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Right, we were looking for Jennifer Aniston films.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24You said this was your least confident answer.

0:39:24 > 0:39:29You only need one pointless answer to win that £7,500 jackpot.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33Let's see if The Break-Up's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36Well, it's right.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42This is your first shot at that jackpot of £7,500.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Come on, come on, come on!

0:39:44 > 0:39:47It has to go all the way down to zero. Oh!

0:39:47 > 0:39:51- OK, 18. - Not bad. Better than I thought.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53That's the one we were most...

0:39:53 > 0:39:55You knew that wasn't going to be pointless.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59It was quite recent. People were going to know that one.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01- That was just holding the place. - Yes.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03OK, Picture Perfect was your second answer.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Good luck.- Your second of three shots at the jackpot.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10This has to be pointless for you to win that £7,500.

0:40:10 > 0:40:16Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Picture Perfect.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well, it's right.

0:40:20 > 0:40:21It's right.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23The Break-Up went down to 18.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25This has to go all the way down to zero

0:40:25 > 0:40:27if you're going to win the jackpot.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29£7,500.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Ooh!

0:40:31 > 0:40:32Ooh!

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Wow. Three.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47That wasn't a pointless answer.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51However, it's all moving very much in the right direction, isn't it?

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Good luck.- How are you feeling about your last one, The Good Girl?

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Emotional. A little emotional.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Yeah, quietly confident.- OK.

0:41:02 > 0:41:06OK, we were looking for Jennifer Aniston films.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10You said this was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless.

0:41:10 > 0:41:15This is your last shot at that jackpot of £7,500.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Everything rests on The Good Girl.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Let's see if it's right. You know it's right, don't you?- Pretty sure.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Good.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34This is all good. Right, let's see if it is right, and if so, how many people said The Good Girl.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37This for £7,500.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Good luck.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Well, it's right.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45We had The Break-Up, which stopped at 18,

0:41:45 > 0:41:49we had Picture Perfect, which stopped at three.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54Oh, no!

0:41:54 > 0:41:56APPLAUSE

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Ohhhhh!

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Oh!

0:42:06 > 0:42:11- Well, that wasn't meant to happen at all. That was meant to go down to zero, surely.- Yeah.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Oh. Well, bad luck.

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22So you don't win today's jackpot of £7,500, which rolls over to the next show.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27But you have been fantastic, and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28APPLAUSE

0:42:35 > 0:42:37So, Richard?

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yeah, unlucky, and you've been such good players.

0:42:40 > 0:42:46If it's any consolation, our players last time had two one-point answers in the jackpot round, didn't they?

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Yeah, that may have done for you.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There's four.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54I hope you haven't seen any of them.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57There's Dream For An Insomniac, an early indie film.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00The Object Of My Affection, where she's a pregnant, single woman

0:43:00 > 0:43:03who tries to raise a child with her gay best friend.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06The Thin Pink Line was a pointless answer,

0:43:06 > 0:43:10as was Til There Was You, in which she has a supporting role.

0:43:10 > 0:43:11- Didn't know any of them. - Tough category.

0:43:11 > 0:43:16We do have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you here.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18It's been brilliant, thank you.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,

0:43:25 > 0:43:29which means on the next show, we will be playing for £8,500.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31CHEERING

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And from me, goodbye.
