CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
A warm welcome to Pointless, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
First, we welcome Wayne and Hel. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
You are our first players. What fantastic names. Wayne and Hel. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
-Thank you. -You're our first pair today. How do you know each other? | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
We met a few years ago, working for the same firm. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-I gave him a piece of A4 paper for his pains. -Mm. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Inevitably, you're going to have to tell us a bit more, Hel. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
You've left me scrabbling. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
He used to wander about the office being stopped by people. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
"Can you do this? Can you do that?" | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
So I gave him a piece of blank A4 paper, said "Carry that around", | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
and he did, and nobody stopped him, and he got masses done. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
You have just unlocked... | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
..an entire nation's... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
I'm so sorry, I'm-I'm busy. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Nothing on it. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Um, Hel. What's Hel short for? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
It is. That's Hel. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
-Hel. -Just Hel. -Literally, just Hel? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
Yes, the Viking goddess of the underworld, daughter of Loki. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
Loki's daughter, of course. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
Now you put it like that, I now know exactly which Hel you're referring to. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
Um, Wayne, where are you from? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Um, Newark just outside Nottingham. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Oh, yes. I've never been to Newark, but I gather it's very beautiful. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
Very picturesque. Little market town. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
-Great having you here. Good luck. Hope you enjoy the show. -Thank you. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
And next, we welcome Andy and Ian. How do you two know each other? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
We've been running a young person's holiday for 12 years in the Lake District. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Fantastic. What time of year? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
In August for a week to ten days, for 12 to 18-year-olds. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
So what do you do the rest of the time? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
I'm a teacher in Harpenden. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-Another teacher. -Mm. -Can't move for teachers. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-What do you teach? -Geography to 11 to 18-year-olds. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
And, Ian, how about you? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
I'm a vicar living up in Manchester. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
I was going to say, "What do you do when you're not being a vicar?" But that's full-time. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
It's a very full-time vocation. I've brought my collar. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
If we win, which we won't... I will put this dog collar on for you later on. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
OK, well, thank you very much. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Very best of luck. It's lovely having you here. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
We welcome back Gill and Gee. You were on the show last time. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless Final. This is your second chance. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Remind us how you did. -We went out in the second round, Alexander. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Our downfall... My downfall was EastEnders. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Yeah, I know, that was really tough. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Gill, what would you like to come up this afternoon? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Anything except EastEnders. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-I think it's all EastEnders today. -Yes, EastEnders special. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Oh, fantastic. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-Gee, what would you like to see come up this afternoon? -EastEnders would be lovely. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
Um, music, not too recent music. Bit more further back. That would be nice. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
Very good luck to the pair of you. It's great to have you back. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Finally we welcome Rich and Daniel. You were also on the show last time. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Remind us how you did. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
We bowed out gracefully in Round One. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Someone had to. Someone had to. It was Knots, wasn't it? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-Yes. -It was Knots. -Not our finest hour. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Knots, very hard. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Like EastEnders, you either know about knots or you don't. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
As it turned out, you didn't. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Best of luck to you both. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
There's only one person left for me to introduce. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
In an obscurity sandwich, he's today's tasty filling. He's my Pointless friend. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
He's Richard! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
Hello. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
This is great. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
-That blank sheet of paper? -Why didn't I think of this 160 shows ago? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-All that work I've had to do. -I know. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Should be a good show today. Two returning pairs. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Neither of them made it to the Head To Head, so I suspect they'll be looking to go further. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
Our first vicar, I think. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
So, welcome along. And also, you're playing against Hel. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Yeah, no, daughter of Loki. Just... | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
You're playing against Hel, daughter of Loki. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
I always felt "low key" was very much an undersung goddess. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
GROANING | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
You see? And they'll be plenty more of that calibre on the red button. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
OK, now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
but this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
and when that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
So today's jackpot starts off | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
at £7,250. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Right, let's play Pointless. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
In the first round, you all give me one answer. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
You cannot confer with your partner. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they score the maximum of 100 points. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
So do be careful. Our first category this afternoon is the Olympics. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
to name as many British female Olympic gold medal winners as they could. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:17 | |
British female Olympic gold medal winners. Richard? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
We're looking for any female competitor | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
who's won at least one gold medal for Britain | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
in any winter or summer Olympic Games, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
either as an individual or in a team sport, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
up to and including the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
Thanks, Richard. Wayne and Hel, you all drew lots before the show, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
and this afternoon, you get to go first. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
So, Wayne. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
Olympics. What are you thinking? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
There's a few obvious ones. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
I don't know whether to go for that or just make a name up. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
-Um... -I would go somewhere between those two extremes. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Um... | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Rebecca Adlington. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
Rebecca Adlington, you are saying. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
You hope to score as few points as possible. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
It's right. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Oh. Go on, go on, go on, go on! | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
Very well done. Wayne, that's great. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
That's a superb score. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Eight for Rebecca Adlington. Richard? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Good start, Wayne. She won two gold medals in the 400m and 800m freestyle in Beijing. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
They named the swimming pool in Mansfield after her. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Did it have a paddling-ton pool at one end? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
GROANING | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
See? Like I said. That shows that first gag was actually the high water mark. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
They're going to get distinctly worse. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Now then, Ian, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
what is the most obscure British female Olympic gold medal winner you can think of? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
Er, probably a very obvious answer to anybody who watches sport, | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
but back to the 1980s, and I'm going to take a guess at Tessa Sanderson. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Let's see if it's correct, and if so, how many of our 100 said it. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
There we are. Very well done. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Very good, Ian. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
Extremely good. 16 points for Tessa Sanderson. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
Well played, Ian. She won the javelin gold at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
And she's got a housing estate named after her in Wolverhampton. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
Gee, we come to you. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
OK, I've two answers, but I think they're both going to be popular. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
One of them I'm not sure of, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
and I'll go for that one because it'll be less popular. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Victoria Pendleton. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
Let's see if it's right and if so, how many said it. Good luck, Gee. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
It's right. Very well done. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Ooh, not too bad. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
Not bad at all. Look at that! Three for Gee! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Very well done. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
-Three points for Victoria Pendleton. -Well played, Gee. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
She won the women's sprint cycling at the Beijing Olympics. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
I think it's going to be one of those rounds where everybody gets quite a low score. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
OK, thanks, Richard. So, then, Rich. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-Yes. -Remember, we're looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
I thought I played it safe last time, but obviously failed miserably | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
so this time I'm going to go for Sally Gunnell. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Let's see if Sally Gunnell's right and if so, how many said it. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Well done, it's right. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Not a bad score at all. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
14 for Sally Gunnell. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
There's a famous, um, subterranean access route. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Isn't there a Gunnell Tunnel somewhere? There must be. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
Oh, dear, sorry. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
She won the 400m hurdles at the Barcelona Olympics, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
and once held the Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
the only woman ever to have done that in the history of athletics. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
-Very impressive indeed. -Yeah, and what a tunnel. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:40 | |
On three, Gee and Gill. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
Brilliant low score there. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Very, very well done. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Then Wayne and Hel on eight. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
Lovely answer there with Rebecca Adlington. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Then up to Rich and Daniel on 14, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
and up to Ian and Andy on 16. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
So, Andy, the pressure is on you | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
to make sure you can answer as obscurely as possible. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
Can the second players please take their places at the podium? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
OK, we are looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
And, Daniel, you are on 14. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
The high scorers on 16 are Andy and Ian, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
so if you can score one point or less, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
you are definitely through to the next round. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
What do you think, Daniel? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Let's go with... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
..Zara Phillips. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Zara Phillips. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
There is a red line there at the very bottom of the column. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
That's the line you want to smash through, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
to ensure that you're in the next round. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Let's see if Zara Phillips is right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Bad luck, Daniel. Unfortunately, that is a wrong answer, | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
which means you score the maximum of 100 points. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
Bad luck. Richard. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Sorry, Daniel. She won BBC Sports Personality of the Year but never an Olympic gold. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
Gill, we are looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
You're on three. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
The high scorers on 114 are Daniel and Rich. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
It doesn't matter what you score. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
You're through to the next round, come what may. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Nonetheless, there might be a pointless answer that only you know. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
I've got several in mind, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
but I'm going to go for a blast from the past, Mary Peters. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
Mary Peters. Gee is so happy with that. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Because it was in my head and I just couldn't remember the surname. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
-But I can see her. -Was she that big? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
She was when she went through the winning line. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Oh, I see. I was going to say, that's not normally the scale one associates with... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:53 | |
Mary Peters. Let's see if it's right and if so, how many people said it. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
It's right. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Seven points. Very well done, Gill. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Seven for Mary Peters. That takes your total up to ten. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Yeah, Dame Mary Peters. She won the pentathlon gold in Munich in 1972. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
An athletics track in Northern Ireland is named after her, which seems appropriate. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
Swimming pool for Rebecca Adlington, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
an athletics track for Mary Peters, | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
and a housing estate built on her old school playing field for Tessa Sanderson. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
And of course, a tunnel for Sally Gunnell. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Andy. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Remember, we're looking for British female Olympic gold medal winners. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
You are on 16. The high scorers, Daniel and Rich, are on 114. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:54 | |
You need to score 97 or less with this answer | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
to make sure you get through to the next round. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
I've got one from the winter Olympics and one for the summer. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Um, probably the summer Olympics is a bit safer, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
so I'll go for that, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:09 | |
and I'm going to name Denise Lewis. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
There is your red line. If you come below that, you go to the next round. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
Denise Lewis. Let's see how many people said Denise Lewis. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Well done, you're through. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Very well done. Eight points for Denise Lewis. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
That takes your total up to 24. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
Richard. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
Er, yeah, she won the heptathlon in Sydney. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
And again, it's a low score. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Now, then, Hel. Even if you score 100 points, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
you will not overtake Daniel and Rich's high score of 114. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
Nonetheless, you are perfectly qualified | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
to whip out a pointless answer and add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
I, too, have two possible answers, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
a winter one I'm pretty sure of and a summer one that I'm doubtful. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
You can tell us both | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
then submit the one you want cos you're the last to play. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
OK, I'm thinking, summer one, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
with the dressage or three-day-eventing team. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
However, I'm even more sure Jayne Torvill won for the winter Olympics. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
I think it's going to be a high score, I really do. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
Doesn't matter. You're through, come what may. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-You're going with Jayne Torvill. -Jayne Torvill. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Let's see if Jayne Torvill did win a gold medal at the Olympics, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
and if she did, let's see how many people said it. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-Very well done. -Ooh! | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
Go on! Go on! Go on! | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
Very well done. Look at that! | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Well done, Hel! | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot, | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
takes the total up to £7,500. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
It scores you nothing and leaves your total at eight. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Oh! | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Jayne Torvill, overlooked in this category. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Very, very well done, Hel. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
The best I can do on her is there's a housing estate in Nottingham | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-which has a Torvill Drive and a Dean Close. -Yes. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-Of course. -Just down the road. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers. Loads of them. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
A very low-scoring round. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
Ann Packer, who won the 800m in 1964. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Christine Ohuruogu, who won the 400m in Beijing. A pointless answer. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
Gillian Sheen won a fencing gold in 1956. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
There's Jayne Torvill, there's Judy Grinham, the swimmer, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
Rebecca Romero, who won a silver in rowing | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
and then a gold in cycling four years later. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Rhona Martin, who was the curler, again a pointless answer. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
All of that curling team were pointless answers. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Sarah Ayton, again, who was on the Yngling team. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
She and all of her crew mates were pointless answers, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
and Stephanie Cook, the modern pentathlete who won in 2000. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
All pointless answers, and plenty more besides. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Let's see the most popular answers that most of our 100 said. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
Again, you'll see they're quite low. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
Sally Gunnell, actually the third most popular answer, 14. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Tessa Sanderson, 16, and way ahead, Kelly Holmes on 40 points. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
Thank you, Richard. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score, Daniel and Rich, it's you. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-Well... -This wasn't meant to happen. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
It was my fault last time and your fault this time. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-At least we're even. -Yeah. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Dear, oh, dear. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:39 | |
You did the right thing, Daniel. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
You tried to find a nice, obscure answer. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-It was just a bit too obscure. -Yeah. -Great shame to be saying goodbye to you so soon. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
You have been fantastic. Thanks so much for playing. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
Now, only two pairs can make it to the Head To Head, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
so one team leaves us at the end of this round. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
The category for Round Two is... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
..Books. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
who's going to go first, who's going to go second? | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Our Round Two question this afternoon concerns | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
debut novels and their authors. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Debut novels and their authors. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
In this round, we show you a list of debut fiction novels of some famous authors. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
We asked 100 people to tell us who wrote each one of them. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-Richard. -We'll show you six novels on each pass. All you do is tell us who wrote them. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:48 | |
More obscure ones score fewer points. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
An incorrect answer scores 100 points. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
There's six on each pass, so 12 to have a go at at home. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Thanks, Richard. So we're looking for the authors of these debut fiction novels. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
And here we are. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
We've got Frankenstein, The Gremlins, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Treasure Island, White Teeth, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Casino Royale, P.S. I Love You. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
I'll read those one more time. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Frankenstein, The Gremlins, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
Treasure Island, White Teeth, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Casino Royale, P.S. I Love You. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Now, as always on Pointless, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
you are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people gave. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
So, then, Hel. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
I'll go for the one that I'm sure of. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Frankenstein and Mary Shelley. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
OK, Mary Shelley, you're saying, for Frankenstein. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
It's correct. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Ohh. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:45 | 0:19:46 | |
43. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
43 for Frankenstein. Richard. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Yeah, better safe than sorry, Hel. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
She was only 21 when that was published, Mary Shelley, in 1818. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Andy. Debut novels. Of these debut novels, how many have you read? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
How many have I read? Um, zero. None of them. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
How many of them are you on nodding terms with? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
On nodding terms, I know the stories of about four of them, maybe. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
The authors, I know one of them, and that one has gone. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
I'll go for one I haven't heard of, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
and the only one I haven't heard of is White Teeth. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
And it is possible, though unlikely, | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
the author could be Catherine Cookson. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I don't have a clue what White Teeth is about. It's a bad guess. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
It's a guess. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
Bad luck, Andy. No, you did what you had to do. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
It's impossible if you don't know. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Sadly, it was wrong. It's scored you 100 points. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-Richard. -Yeah, unlucky, Andy. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
But the good news is, I'm pretty certain all the kids at your school | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
will be absolutely fine about that. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-You'll never hear any more about it(!) -At least it wasn't a geography question. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
Now, then, Gill. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
Remember, we are looking for the authors of these debut novels. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
I think I'll go with White Teeth, which is by Zadie Smith. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Very good. Zadie Smith. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people knew. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
It's right. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Very well done, Gill. That's a great answer. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
Zadie Smith scores you 11 points. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
-Richard. -Well played, Gill. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
Published in 2000. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
It's very much her tribute to Catherine Cookson, White Teeth. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
Let's take a look at the rest of the board. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
The biggest scorer, Casino Royale, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
which like all the original Bond books was Ian Fleming, | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
would have scored you 57 points. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson, would have scored 53, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
P.S. I Love You was Cecilia Ahern, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
who's the daughter of former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
would have scored eight. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
The Gremlins. It's not the book that the film was based on. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
It's Roald Dahl's first book. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
That scored one point, so, well done if you said that at home. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Is that an Air Force novel? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
Yeah, it was about his experiences. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
The gremlins were things that got into the planes and made things go wrong. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
Yeah. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
OK, we're halfway through. Let's look at the scores. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Brilliant answer from Gill, lovely low score, 11 points. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
Then we come up to Hel on 43. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Quite high, but in the context, not so bad, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
given that Andy and Ian are way out in front on 100. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
So, Ian, your best hope of salvation in the context of this game | 0:22:44 | 0:22:50 | |
is that someone else makes a mistake | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
and you find a pointless answer. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:03 | |
OK, we're going to put six more debut fiction novels on the board. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
Here they are. We have got The Pickwick Papers, Trainspotting, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
Digital Fortress, Lord Of The Flies, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Brick Lane, Carrie. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
I shall read those one more time. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
The Pickwick Papers, Trainspotting, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Digital Fortress, Lord Of The Flies, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
Brick Lane and Carrie. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
We are looking for the authors, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
and you are trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
-Gee. -Yes. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Gill has set you up perfectly. Lovely low score. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
The high scorers are Ian and Andy on 100. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
You are on 11. If you can score 88 or less, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
88 or less, you are through to the next round. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Mm, I think I'm right. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Lord Of The Flies, William Golding. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
Lord Of The Flies, William Golding. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:59 | |
There is your red line, nice and high. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Let's see if William Golding can get you below that red line. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
Very well done. You're through. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Whoo! | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Oh! | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
21, that scores you. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
Takes your total up to 32. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
Richard. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
Well played, Gee. Published in 1954, Lord Of The Flies. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
OK, thanks very much. Ian, you know what you have to do. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
How's that board looking to you? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
It's not looking too bad, except for the 100 points we've already got. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
Yes, OK. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
And I think we are going to go for Digital Fortress, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:46 | |
and that was written by Dan Brown. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
Digital Fortress, Dan Brown. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
It's right. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
Very well done, 13. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Very well done indeed, Ian. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Digital Fortress scores you 13, takes your total to 113. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
-Richard. -Good answer, Ian. He published it five years before The Da Vinci Code, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
and after the success of The Da Vinci Code, even Digital Fortress sold millions. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Now then, Wayne. You are on 43. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
The high scorers on 113 are Ian and Andy. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
If you can score 69 or less with this answer, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
you are through to the Head To Head. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
Well, pressure's really on here cos I don't read. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
You don't read. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Why read when they make it into a film? It's easier. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
Well, they've made a few of those into films, haven't they? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
The only one I know, but I think it's going to be quite a high one, | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
is Carrie and Stephen King. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Carrie and Stephen King. What are you thinking, Hel? | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
I'm thinking the same as Wayne. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
I think, yes, correct, just really high score. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
-Really high score. -Well, you have to score 69 or less. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
-Looking at that red line, that's quite a long way down. -Yeah. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
But equally, quite a long way up, as well. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
OK, let's see. You're saying Carrie, Stephen King. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
You're through. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
You are through. Very well done. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Stephen King scores you 38, takes your total up to 81. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
You're through to the Head To Head. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Richard, Carrie. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
Yeah, the fourth book he wrote, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
but the first to be published, in 1974. Good answer. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
We'll fill in the rest of the board. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
-Andy, are there any there you know? -Literature is a weak point. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-I was just giving you the chance to... -No, there's no redemption. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
In the context of this game. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Not in the classroom. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Let's take a look. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
Some of your students hopefully would tell you, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
-Oh, I did know it, then. -59 points, that would have scored you. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Trainspotting is Irvine Welsh, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
would have scored 18 points. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
And Brick Lane is the best answer on the board. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
Monica Ali would have scored six. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
Very well done if you said that. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
I'm afraid it's Ian and Andy. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Oh, bad luck. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
-I'm sorry, Ian. -There's nothing that we're both good at. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
But, you see, that's good. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:36 | |
-Is it? -Yeah, it means you have a much broader range, then. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
And we've just proved that it's good(!) | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
Yeah, it is good, though. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
So we don't get to see the dog collar. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
Not this time. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
However, Ian, you're going to get a sermon out of this, I'm certain. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:55 | |
I can tell you, Andy's going to get a sermon out of this. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
Very, very well done. It's a shame to be saying goodbye, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
but we will see you next time. We'll look forward to that. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
I'm sure you will go much further. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Thanks for playing. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:09 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
things get even more exciting, as we enter the Head To Head. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
Well done, Gill and Gee, Wayne and Hel, you've made it to the Head To Head. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
Obviously, only one pair can make it to today's Final | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
and play for the jackpot, which stands at £7,500. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
Each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
but you can now confer. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
Say an answer that scores less than the other pair, and you win that question. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
The first pair to get to the best of three will go to the Final to play for today's jackpot. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:57 | |
Let's play Pointless. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:58 | |
OK, here is your first question. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
to name as many countries with a population over 100 million as they could. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
Richard. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
There are 11 countries with a population over 100 million. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |
Philippines is just under 100 million, so any country with a population larger than that. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:24 | |
We're going on the CIA World Factbook website. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
Their estimate in July 2010. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
See how many of those 11 you can get at home. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
Thanks, Richard. Gee and Gill, | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
cos you've played best throughout the show so far, you go first. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
So, countries with a population over 100 million. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
OK, we have an answer. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:49 | |
Yes, India. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
India. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:52 | |
Wayne and Hel, Gill and Gee have said India. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Yeah, we were thinking that as well. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
Um, I think we're going to go for Russia. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
OK, we have India, we have Russia. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
Let's take them in the order they've been given. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
Gill and Gee said India. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
Ooh! | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
Wow, very high score for India. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
Wayne and Hel have said Russia. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
Let's see how many people said that, if it is right. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:26 | |
It's right. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
And it beats India. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:31 | |
Look at that, 73. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
So after the first question, Wayne and Hel are ahead 1-0. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
-Richard. -A lot of answers on that board that would win the points. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
There's 11, so see how many of these you managed to get. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
Nigeria would have scored you five, | 0:30:50 | 0:30:51 | |
the most populous country in Africa, 150 million people. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
150 million in Bangladesh as well, seven. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
Indonesia, 15, Mexico, 17, | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
Japan, 26, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
Pakistan, 35. All of these have over 100 million. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
Brazil, 48. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
And there's the big ones, Russia, 73, | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
India, which has over a billion people, 1.15 at the latest estimate. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
That's 87. United States, 91. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
And the most populous of all, China, with 1.3 billion, | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
would have scored you 99 points. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
Very, very well done if you got all of those at home. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
Thanks, Richard. Here is your second question. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
Gill and Gee, you have to win this question to stay in the game. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:34 | |
Good luck. Here it comes. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
to name as many Hugh Grant films of the Noughties as they could. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:44 | |
Hugh Grant films of the Noughties. Richard. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
We're looking for any feature film | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
given a cinema release between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2009 | 0:31:49 | 0:31:55 | |
for which Hugh Grant's received an acting credit. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
Voice performances do count. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Any film after Notting Hill and Mickey Blue Eyes, which were both 1999. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
So any Hugh Grant film of the Noughties. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
OK, thank you very much. Wayne and Hel, you go first this time. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
(I've actually thought of a film, but everybody will say it.) | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
WHISPERING | 0:32:26 | 0:32:27 | |
Yeah? OK. It'll be a high score, though. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
-OK? -Yeah. -You have an answer? -He has. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:37 | |
And it is? | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
The only one we can be sure of, date-wise, | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
although it's going to be popular, is Love Actually. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
Love Actually. OK, Love Actually. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
Gill and Gee? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
The only one I can think of, or we can think of, is | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
Think of those old cinemas where they had to stick the letters up. Must have taken them nearly a day! | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
-"Let's put ET on!" -Yeah. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
OK. In the order they were given, | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
Wayne and Hel have said Love Actually. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
Well, let's see. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:19 | |
Is it right? How many people said Love Actually? | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
Very well done. It's right. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:24 | |
30. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
That's not a terrible score, actually, not a terrible score. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
Gill and Gee, you have gone for | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, And Came Down A Mountain. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
And you're confident of this? | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
-I don't know it. -Only one I could think of. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
You have to win this question to stay in the game. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:59 | |
Good luck. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:00 | |
Oh. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
Oh, bad luck. Bad luck. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer, | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
which means, after only two questions, | 0:34:12 | 0:34:13 | |
Wayne and Hel are through to the Final 2-0. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
-Richard? -Yeah, it was a Hugh Grant film, | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
but from quite a long time before, from 1995, I'm afraid. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
Let's take a look at all the films from the Noughties. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
There's some big films in there. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
Small Time Crooks, the Woody Allen film, one point. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
American Dreamz, a TV satire, two. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
Did You Hear About The Morgans? with Sarah Jessica Parker, three. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock, five. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
Music And Lyrics with Drew Barrymore, eight. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
Then the two Bridget Jones movies, | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
Edge Of Reason and Bridget Jones's Diary, both ten. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
About A Boy, the Nick Hornby novel, | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
and there's Love Actually at the top on 30. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
So the losing pair at the end of the Head To Head, it's Gill and Gee. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
Very tough when the pressure's on, isn't it? Suddenly. Yeah. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
Didn't come into mind at the right time. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
I know. That's the trouble. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:05 | |
It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you very much. You've been excellent. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:11 | |
But for Wayne and Hel, it's our Pointless Final, | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
and the chance to win our jackpot of £7,500. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
Congratulations, Wayne and Hel, you've fought off the competition | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
and the jackpot stands at £7,500. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:46 | |
CHEERING | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
The rules are simple. To win that money, you find a pointless answer | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
that none of our 100 thought of. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
We've had one pointless answer on the show today. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
You only have to find one more now, and you will go home with that money. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
First, choose a category from these three options. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
Composers, American Actresses, | 0:36:06 | 0:36:11 | |
Politicians. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
-Politics is not good for me. -Politics is rubbish for me. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
-Um, composers? -I'm better at singers for classical and things like that. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:22 | |
Doesn't have to be old music, though, does it? | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
I know, it could be Lennon, McCartney, that kind of thing. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
I don't know. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:30 | |
American Actresses? | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
It could be of the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s or now. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:36 | |
I don't know, but I think it's our safest bet. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
-That's the one I favour most. -Yeah. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:40 | |
-OK. -OK, you've reached a decision. It's going to be...? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
American Actresses. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
American Actresses. Let's see what the question is. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
to name as many Jennifer Aniston films as they could. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
Jennifer Aniston films. Richard. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
We're looking for any feature film given a cinema release | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
for which Jennifer Aniston has received an acting credit prior to January 2011. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:07 | |
TV films, short films, documentaries don't count, voice performances do. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
Good luck. Though the accountant has said, if you do win the money, there'll be Hel to pay. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:16 | |
Yay! | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
And Wayne. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
Yeah, when I freeze over. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
I can't believe that would ever happen. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
OK, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
All you need to win that £7,500 | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
is for one of those answers to be pointless. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
Your 60 seconds start now. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
I remember seeing two. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:40 | |
-OK. -I saw the one at the cinema with yourself, The Break-Up. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
-And Along Came Polly. -Yeah, there's that. -There was Picture Perfect. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:49 | |
Picture Perfect. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
Um, anything else? | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
It's romcom, it's not my thing. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
Again, it's not got car chases and explosions in so I don't watch it. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:01 | |
No, it's true. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:02 | |
-Um... -Um... | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
So we've got three answers to give. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
I think Picture Perfect. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
Yep. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
-I think... -The Good Girl. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:13 | |
-The Good Girl. Never heard of it. -That's an older one. -I'll go with you on that one. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
I'm sure it's got Jake in it. Oh, no, it's... from Spider-Man. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:22 | |
-What's his name? -Tobey Maguire. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
And I can't think of anything she's voiced over. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
I can think of a Cameron Diaz, but that's... | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
-So I'll go for... -Five seconds left. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
-The Good Girl. -Picture Perfect, The Break-Up. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:37 | |
OK, there is your minute up. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
We were looking for Jennifer Aniston films. I need three answers from you. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:45 | |
-The Good Girl. -The Good Girl. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:47 | |
-Picture Perfect. -Picture Perfect. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
-And The Break-Up. -The Break-Up. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
-The Good Girl. I think. It's the older one. -Yeah. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
-OK, The Good Girl, we'll put that last. -Yeah. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
Which is your least likely contender for a pointless answer? | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |
-The Break-Up. -The Break-Up, because it was fairly recent. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
We'll put that first. Here they are. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
The Break-Up, Picture Perfect, The Good Girl. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:19 | |
Right, we were looking for Jennifer Aniston films. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
You said this was your least confident answer. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
You only need one pointless answer to win that £7,500 jackpot. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:29 | |
Let's see if The Break-Up's right, and if so, how many people said it. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:33 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:36 | |
This is your first shot at that jackpot of £7,500. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
Come on, come on, come on! | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
It has to go all the way down to zero. Oh! | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
-OK, 18. -Not bad. Better than I thought. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
That's the one we were most... | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
You knew that wasn't going to be pointless. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
It was quite recent. People were going to know that one. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
-That was just holding the place. -Yes. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
OK, Picture Perfect was your second answer. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-Good luck. -Your second of three shots at the jackpot. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
This has to be pointless for you to win that £7,500. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Picture Perfect. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:16 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
It's right. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:21 | |
The Break-Up went down to 18. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
This has to go all the way down to zero | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
if you're going to win the jackpot. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
£7,500. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
Ooh! | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Ooh! | 0:40:31 | 0:40:32 | |
Wow. Three. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
That wasn't a pointless answer. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
However, it's all moving very much in the right direction, isn't it? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:51 | |
-Good luck. -How are you feeling about your last one, The Good Girl? | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
Emotional. A little emotional. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
-Yeah, quietly confident. -OK. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
OK, we were looking for Jennifer Aniston films. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
You said this was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
This is your last shot at that jackpot of £7,500. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:15 | |
Everything rests on The Good Girl. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
-Let's see if it's right. You know it's right, don't you? -Pretty sure. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
Good. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
This is all good. Right, let's see if it is right, and if so, how many people said The Good Girl. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:34 | |
This for £7,500. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
Good luck. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
We had The Break-Up, which stopped at 18, | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
we had Picture Perfect, which stopped at three. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
Oh, no! | 0:41:53 | 0:41:54 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
Ohhhhh! | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
Oh! | 0:42:05 | 0:42:06 | |
-Well, that wasn't meant to happen at all. That was meant to go down to zero, surely. -Yeah. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:11 | |
Oh. Well, bad luck. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:18 | |
So you don't win today's jackpot of £7,500, which rolls over to the next show. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
But you have been fantastic, and you do take home our Pointless trophy. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:27 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
So, Richard? | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
Yeah, unlucky, and you've been such good players. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
If it's any consolation, our players last time had two one-point answers in the jackpot round, didn't they? | 0:42:40 | 0:42:46 | |
Yeah, that may have done for you. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There's four. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
I hope you haven't seen any of them. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
There's Dream For An Insomniac, an early indie film. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
The Object Of My Affection, where she's a pregnant, single woman | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
who tries to raise a child with her gay best friend. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
The Thin Pink Line was a pointless answer, | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
as was Til There Was You, in which she has a supporting role. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
-Didn't know any of them. -Tough category. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:11 | |
We do have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you here. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:16 | |
It's been brilliant, thank you. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over, | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
which means on the next show, we will be playing for £8,500. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
CHEERING | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win it. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. -And from me, goodbye. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
