0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. A warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:32the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41First, we welcome back Kevin and Aimee.
0:00:41 > 0:00:47Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. This is your last chance. Remind us how you did.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Unfortunately, we crashed and burned in the first round,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54which I will take full responsibility for.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm hoping that this time I can do a little bit better
0:00:57 > 0:00:59so as not to embarrass my dad!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01But last time, you had just come off stage.
0:01:01 > 0:01:08The night before, you had been dazzling them up in Sheffield in pantomime.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- You can be forgiven this once. - Yes. Puss In Boots.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I played Principal Boy. My dad played the villain.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- I thought you were going to say the puss!- No!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The villain! Kevin, you couldn't play a villain!
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- You have no idea how much makeup was needed to make me look bad. - I know! The villainry!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28What are you hoping is going to come up?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, if I could be that specific,
0:01:31 > 0:01:36probably something to do with either the American state capitals...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Richard.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40..or any kind of literature.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46At work, I'm known as The Librarian because I love to read in every break.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- You're known as The Librarian? - I'm not a librarian.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- You're surrounded by librarians! - I know!- Wow.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Best of luck to the pair of you. Great to have you back.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Next, we welcome Jill and Frances, also on the show last time.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Remind us how you did. - We made it to the head-to-head.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06We did pretty well, but the guys did better.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- You did amazingly well! - We did pretty good.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12You're both librarians. Kevin, bit of competition.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- What do you do in your spare time, Frances?- I like walking.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Jill and I both like walking. We get lost quite often on our walks.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Or not in the place we expect to be. We never own up to being lost.- No.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30The best walks come about as a result of having been lost.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Really?!- I think so.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Best of luck, Jill and Frances. Lovely having you back.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Next, we welcome back Nina and Matt, also on last time. Remind us how you did.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46We went out on the second round because clearly I don't watch enough telly.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Nina, you're from Brazil!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Then you lived in Barcelona for ten years.- Yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And then you came here for the last four. You did incredibly well.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- I did my best.- Incredibly well.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Matt, what do you hope will come up this afternoon?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Probably music, sport. Sport would be a good one.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I claim to be a music buff, so if I get that wrong I'll embarrass myself.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- So we're hoping for sport so I can get away with it!- Get away with it!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Very best of luck. Great to have you back, too.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And finally, we've got Troy and Staffan.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19How do you two know each other?
0:03:19 > 0:03:24We met at the Gay Olympics ten years ago, Alexander, in Sydney,
0:03:24 > 0:03:29and on the second time we met up I asked him to marry me,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and we moved to London and we've been together ever since.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Wow! Were you competing in the Gay Olympics?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I was an athlete at the games and Staffan was a volunteer.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46I actually surprised myself, I got two medals at the games. I got a gold and a bronze medal.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- What was your gold in? - My gold was in shot put.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So I'm very good at throwing things, darling!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56APPLAUSE
0:03:58 > 0:04:01To be fair, there was only three people competing.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04LAUGHTER
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Staffan,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10what are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Geography. Any travel-related question would be good.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18We're both cabin crew, so it should be a good strength.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Where are you from, Troy? - I'm from Australia originally.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Are you from Sydney? - No, from Adelaide.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- How about you, Staffan? - I'm from Sweden originally,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30from a small town in the south of Sweden.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- And where do you live now? - In Brentford, west London.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Well, it's fabulous having you both on the show. We'll look forward to finding more about all of you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42There's one person left to introduce.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47If obscurity were a sport, he'd be the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hello. Hiya.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58We should have a good little show this afternoon.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We've got three returning pairs, one new pair,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04or two new pairs if you include Troy's trousers.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And, Matt, if you can get through to Round Two,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11there is a music question for you to embarrass yourself with.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Best of luck, Matt.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Today's jackpot starts off at a very impressive £9,750.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Let's play Pointless.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and you cannot confer. The team with the highest score
0:05:56 > 0:05:59at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Our first category this afternoon is:
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Can you decide who's going to go first?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Jill, you're looking terrified! Who's going first, who's second?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:20 > 0:06:25to name as many fish as they could.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Fish coming under Food, I see. Not Marine Biology, for example.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I shall let you know why if you... - I'll shut up!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- Richard.- All the correct answers are types of fish that can be eaten,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42and the incorrect answers are not fish at all.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Excellent. Now then, Kevin and Aimee,
0:06:44 > 0:06:49you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Your first set of seven answers read like this:
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I'll read those one more time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21but be careful because at least one is incorrect.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25If you pick an incorrect one, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31- Aimee, do you eat a lot of fish?- No! I don't like it very much at all.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I eat prawns. There's a couple that I think will be quite obscure,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38but one that I'm more certain on than the other,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40so I'm going to go for coley.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Coley.- Yes. - Let's see if that's correct,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and if it is, how many people said coley.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Good luck, Aimee.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Yes!- It's right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Very well done, Aimee!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Coley scores you 11.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- 11 for coley, Richard. - Well played, Aimee.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Also known as the coalfish. Eaten far more these days.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Frances, we are looking for fish.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I think you'll be rather good at this.- No!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Really?- Well, I think ling might be, but I'm not 100 percent sure.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm going to play it safe and go with hake.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Three down from the top.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Let's see if hake is right and if it is, let's see how many people said hake.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:3620.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Not a terrible score for hake, Frances. 20. Richard.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Large predatory fish, the hake, with sharp teeth
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but very soft flesh, which is more important for this round.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49In France they call it Colin.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Colin?- Yes. They perhaps don't pronounce it that way.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- "What are we having for dinner?" - Colin!- Colin.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ohh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Now then, Matt, this is the round for you to dazzle us.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05There's at least one pointless answer on that board.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I think I'm going to go for a gamble. Ling. We'll give it a go.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14OK, let's see if ling is right. If it is, let's see how many people said ling.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Very best of luck, Matt.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It's right! Well done.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26That's brilliant! Very well done indeed!
0:09:26 > 0:09:32Ling scores you 1 point. That's a superb answer. Well done.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well played, Matt. Normally fished around Britain and Scandinavia.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Now then, Staffan, we are looking for fish.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- OK.- What do you think?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46There's two that's very obvious, haddock and cod.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52So then it's a question of skuon and zander. Which one is pointless, which one is incorrect?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I'm going to take a gamble and go for skuon.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01That means you think "Xander" isn't pointless, which is great!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- I think it's a person!- Thank you. - A fishy person probably.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So do I, Xander. LAUGHTER
0:10:09 > 0:10:11A fishy person.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13OK, Staffan...!
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Right, you're saying skuon. Let's see if it's right
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and if it is, let's see how many people said skuon. Best of luck.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh, no!
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Bad luck!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Unfortunately, skuon is wrong, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Bad luck. Richard.- Sorry, Staffan. Skuon is a place in Cambodia,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37known by international visitors for its fried spiders.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- OK.- So if you're ever looking for a fried spider...- I know where to go!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You do indeed. Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Cod, obviously a high scorer, would've got you 89 points.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Haddock would've scored you 69 points.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58By process of elimination, Xander, zander is a pointless fish.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- It's a pike-perch.- A pike-perch?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05With very few bones and lovely soft flesh.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07That's the one. Spineless. Yes!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Is that what you're saying? - Essentially, yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Very well done at home if you said zander.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Matt and Nina looking strong as we go into the second pass.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Just ahead of them, Aimee and Kevin. Great answer from Aimee.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Just ahead of them on 20 points, Frances and Jill. Looking fantastic.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Staffan and Troy, you're way out in front.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Troy, you're going to have to find a pointless answer on the next pass
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and hope that somebody else makes a mistake.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52We'll put seven more answers on the board.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Here they are. We're looking for types of fish.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Again, I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15At least one is incorrect. Avoid those incorrect ones if you possibly can.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Troy, you are the high scorers.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You have to find a really good low answer,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23ideally a pointless answer.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I'm going to be a total gambler here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I know fugu sounds very Japanese
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and Japan is very much a fish-eating country,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37so for that reason, I'm going to go for fugu.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Fugu. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said fugu.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Well done, Troy. It's right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I think this is going to do exactly what we wanted. Yes!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Very well done indeed!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02taking the total up to £10,000!
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Most important, it scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100 points.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Very well done. Richard.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12It's what the Japanese call the pufferfish or the blowfish.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17It's incredibly poisonous, unless you have a very trained chef who cuts the innards out.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21The sort of thing you should never eat on a plane.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Now then, Nina. Nina...
0:13:24 > 0:13:29You are in a spectacularly strong position, thanks to Matt's brilliant answer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35You are on 1 point. If you score 98 points or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The high scorers are Troy and Staffan on 100.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm glad he did very well
0:13:39 > 0:13:43because I don't really eat that much fish.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45So I'll say plaice.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49OK, you're going to say plaice. You have to score 98 or less.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said plaice.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yep, you are through.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Perfectly reasonable score. Takes your total up to 51.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Very well done, Nina.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Very safe answer. It's a strikingly colourful flat fish.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It normally has both its eyes on the right-hand side of its head.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Now then, Jill, you're on 20.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19The high scorers are still Troy and Staffan on 100.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23If you can score 79 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28What do you think of that board? You pulled a really pained face when this came up.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I eat tuna and that's about it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And I don't cook. And I don't watch cookery programmes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I have been in the odd restaurant once in a while and had whitebait,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41so I'll go with whitebait.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Wouldn't it be great if there was a place called The Odd Restaurant?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Where Jill has a place in the corner!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51"The usual table?" Whitebait, you are saying?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Let's see if whitebait's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Very well done. You're through to the next round.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Wow!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07APPLAUSE
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Very well done, Jill! Fantastically low-scoring answer.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It takes your total up to 24.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Richard.- Well done, Jill.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Whitebait in Europe are small, young herring,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20which are deep-fried and eaten whole.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I didn't know that. I didn't know they were young herring.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Tiny little baby fish. - Lives cut short. Tragic.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Tasty, though.- Oh, delicious!
0:15:30 > 0:15:36Kevin, you're the last person. You can talk us through that entire slab of fish if you like.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The high scorers are Troy and Staffan on 100 points.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You're on 11. If you can score 88 or less,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45you are through to the next round.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'm not 100 percent sure that salmon will score less than that,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51so I'll steer clear of that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I thought mossley were a place in Manchester
0:15:54 > 0:15:57and I thought Bray were a place in Ireland somewhere.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00But I'm pretty sure I've heard of a pollack.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03That's the one I'm going to go for.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Very good. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said pollack.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Very well done. You're through to the next round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Very good indeed! 18 points.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Takes your total up to 29. You're through to the next round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- Richard.- Another one of the more sustainable cod substitutes.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33One of the supermarkets renamed it because people wouldn't buy pollack.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38- They called it Colin.- Seriously? - Yes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Let's take a look at the answers. Salmon was a big score.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Small enough to get you through. 72 it would've scored you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49And Mossley is where it was claimed the first ever fish and chip shop in Britain was opened.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53And there's a River Bray in Devon, famous for its fishing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant also in Bray. Both of those were incorrect.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Thanks. At the end of Round One,
0:16:59 > 0:17:04the losing pair with the highest score, Troy and Staffan.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- What are we going to? You can't be leaving us now!- I know!
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- You've only just taken off! - Just warming up. - Exactly. Just taxiing.- Yes!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15We just hit some strong turbulence, unfortunately.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You did.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Troy?- Yes?- Can I just point out that your nearest exit is that way?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Thank you!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27What sort of trousers are you going to wear next?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Speedos.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I've got reasonable legs, so why not?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Why indeed not?!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, Troy and Staffan, it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43We will look forward to seeing you next time. Thanks for playing.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45APPLAUSE
0:17:46 > 0:17:50For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Only two pairs can make it to the head-to-head,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01so one team is going to be leaving us.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04The category for Round Two is:
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21OK, our Round Two question concerns:
0:18:26 > 0:18:31In this round, we're about to show you a list of classic albums released in the 1970s.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36We asked 100 people to tell us which band or artist released each of them.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Richard.- We're going to show you six albums on each pass.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The more obscure ones score you fewer points.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49There's 12 in all in this round. See how you get on at home.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Thank you very much. We're looking for the band or artist who released these albums.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56We have got:
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'll read those again.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17OK, so there are the albums, you need to give me the artists.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Kevin, this is kind of your vintage, I'm thinking?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I wish it was, but it isn't!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I think Born To Run must be Bruce Springsteen.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- That's what I'm saying. - Born To Run, Bruce Springsteen.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35You are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It's right.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I wouldn't have known that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Not as high as it could be.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55But quite high. Bruce Springsteen, 46.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Richard.- Released in 1975.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04He's sold over 120 million albums worldwide in his career.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05That is a lot.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Very well done, Kevin. Bruce Springsteen was right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Frances.- I think I'm going to plump for the one I'm not sure about
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and I think Autobahn must be Kraftwerk.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Kraftwerk, you're saying, for Autobahn.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Let's see... I must stop saying it like I'm German!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27"Craftwork"! Autobahn.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Not a bad answer at all.
0:20:42 > 0:20:4524 for Kraftwerk. Richard.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Very well played, Frances. From 1974.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52The title track is 22 minutes long. Autobahn.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I've would say Kraftwerk rather than Craftwork.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- "Kraftverk"!- Yes. - Would you say it like that, though?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I wouldn't say it like that because I'm not an idiot!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Thank you, Richard. Now then, Matt.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09We're looking for the artist who recorded these albums.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Songs In The Key Of Life, I think, is Stevie Wonder.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Rumours, possibly one of my favourite albums ever, that's Fleetwood Mac.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Dark Side Of The Moon is Pink Floyd. What's Going On, I believe, is Marvin Gaye.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24But I don't know which one to pick! Erm...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I think we'll go for What's Going On.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- What's Going On.- Marvin Gaye.- OK.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said What's Going On.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Very, very well done, Matt! Very well chosen.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48What's Going On scores you just 13 points.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- The lowest score in the pass. Richard.- Very well played.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55From 1971, Marvin Gaye's classic What's Going On.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59You went through every answer, got them right and chose the best.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Very well played.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Dark Side Of The Moon was the highest scorer. Pink Floyd.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Would've scored you 57 points.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Rumours by Fleetwood Mac would've scored you 32.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16And Songs In The Key Of Life, Stevie Wonder, would've scored 18.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- Well played.- Thanks, Richard.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's look at those scores.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Matt and Nina looking great. 13. Lovely low score.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Just under double that, on 24, Frances and Jill.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Just under double that, we come to Kevin and Aimee on 46.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Sadly, you are way out in front. So, Aimee, the pressure's on you.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47We're going to put six more classic 1970s albums on the board.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50We have got:
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I'll read all of those again.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10We are looking for which band or artist released each of them.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Nina, the high scorers are Aimee and Kevin.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20If you can score 32 or less,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- you are definitely through to the head-to-head.- Yes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I'm going to go A Night At The Opera, Queen.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31A Night At The Opera, Queen. OK, here's your red line.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34If you come below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Very well done! 32 is what you needed.
0:23:47 > 0:23:5232 is what you got. It takes your total up to 45.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Well done.- Well played, Nina.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Very good score from a team, neither of whom were even alive in the '70s.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Very well done, Nina.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Jill and Frances, you are on 24. The high scorers are Aimee and Kevin on 46.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12If you can score 21 or less, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- What do you think of that board, Jill?- I know a few of them.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20I suspect I don't know the ones that are going to be a low scorer.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I'm going for London Calling, which I think was by The Clash.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29London Calling, The Clash. Here's your red line coming in.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33If London Calling gets you below that line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Let's see if that's right and how many people said The Clash, London Calling.
0:24:44 > 0:24:4731 that scores you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51It takes your total up to 55.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- The Clash.- Well played, Jill.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Between them, Jill and Frances got the two coolest answers.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02That's quite good going, isn't it, for librarians?!
0:25:02 > 0:25:07We were young in the '70s. We were rocking librarians then.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12And so we come to you, Aimee. The high scorers are now Jill and Frances on 55.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You're on 46.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18You have to score eight or less with this answer
0:25:18 > 0:25:20to survive.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's not going to happen!
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- I know Hotel California is The Eagles.- Yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I'll have a guess because I've got nothing to lose.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36I'll go Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, The Beatles. I don't think it is!
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well done, you. That's very brave and, strategically, exactly what you need to do.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You just have to get the right answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48The Beatles, you're saying. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Oh. Bad luck.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Unfortunately, The Beatles is an incorrect answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04That's caused you the maximum of 100 points,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08taking your total up to an unbeatable 146 points.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Richard.- Unlucky, Aimee. It was a good answer, actually,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14because The Beatles did Yellow Submarine
0:26:14 > 0:26:18and they did Hello, Goodbye and they did Long And Winding Road.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- That's what I was thinking! - Most of the words are there.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25It's actually by Elton John. It would've scored you 55 points.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30If you'd gone for Hotel California, it would've scored you 63. Biggest answer on the board.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Hunky Dory, Matt?
0:26:33 > 0:26:39Well, I know my dad's got it, but... Is it Rod Stewart or The Faces or someone like that?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Someone a bit like that. It's David Bowie.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Would've scored you 23.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Physical Graffiti? Best answer on the board.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Led Zep.- Exactly right.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Would've scored 8 points.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- That would've seen you through.- No! - Well done if you said Physical Graffiti.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- You knew that, did you? - It's her boyfriend's favourite band. - He's going to kill me!
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Thanks, Richard. The losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08it's Kevin and Aimee. Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Led Zeppelin, Aimee.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15I'm more upset about that than I am leaving. I am absolutely gutted.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I don't think your dad agrees with you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I think he's more gutted about leaving.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26Oh, dear, oh, dear! Such a shame to be saying goodbye to you. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I'm afraid this is the end of the Yellow Brick Road for you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40For the remaining two pairs, things are going to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Very well done, Jill and Frances, Nina and Matt.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,
0:27:53 > 0:27:58which currently stands, in case you had forgotten, at £10,000.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00CHEERING
0:28:02 > 0:28:05You are going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Each pair needs to give me just one answer. You are allowed to confer.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The first to get the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Let's play Pointless.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25OK, here is your first question.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:27 > 0:28:32to name as many capital cities beginning with T as they could.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Capital cities beginning with T.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38We're looking for any capital city whose English name begins with a T.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43As always, they have to be countries who are UN members, sovereign states in their own right.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47We're not looking for cities that begin with the word "the".
0:28:47 > 0:28:51We're also not accepting Taipei, as Taiwan is not a UN Member State.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55There are 11 world capitals whose English name begins with a T.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59And this is up to the start of 2011.
0:28:59 > 0:29:05OK. Thanks. Jill and Frances, because you played best throughout the show, you get to go first.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Capital cities beginning with T?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- I can't think of anything else. - Go for it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15Er, well, we're going to go with the capital of Uzbekistan,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17which is Tashkent.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Tashkent. Very, very well said.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Nina and Matt?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- I can't... - I can't think of any at all.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I've gone blank.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33We can't get anything. Tasmania, even though we know it's not right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36We have Tashkent, we have Tasmania. Tashkent, Jill and Frances,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:512 for Tashkent!
0:29:57 > 0:30:01That's an excellent answer. Nina and Matt, you've thrown in Tasmania.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Let's see. Tasmania.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Yep. Well, we knew that.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09So after the first question,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Jill and Frances are up 1-0.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Richard. - Tashkent is a very good answer.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20A couple would've beaten it. You'll recognise some of these.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Thimphu, which is the capital of Bhutan.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Tarawa, which is the capital of Kiribati.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Both pointless answers. Well done if you got those.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Both 2.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38Tirana, Albania, 4. Tbilisi, Georgia, 7.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Tripoli, Libya, would've scored you 7 points.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Tunis, Tunisia, 8. Tallinn, Estonia, 9.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Tehran, Iran, 15.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Tokyo, top of the list on 35.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56Better luck with this question. You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00OK, very best of luck. Here is your second question.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:31:03 > 0:31:06national daily newspapers as they could.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09National daily newspapers. Richard.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We're looking for any national daily paper
0:31:11 > 0:31:14that has the word "daily" in its title.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19These are on the Audit Bureau of Circulations website so we won't accept the Daily Sport.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21There are six national daily newspapers
0:31:21 > 0:31:26on the Audit Bureau of Circulations website that have "daily" in the title.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29And this is up to the start of 2011.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Thanks. Nina and Matt, you go first this time.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36(The Daily Mail. I think we're done.)
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Yes.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43There's a few obvious ones that we could easily pick, so we might as well gamble.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- We've come so far.- Right.- Go for it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50I was thinking, I'm pretty sure it's an American newspaper,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53but they might have something here,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56so we're going to say the Daily Star.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Daily Star, you're saying. OK. Very good.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Jill and Frances, the Daily Star has gone.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Very much as it often has in my corner shop.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I'm not sure I want to say either of these out loud,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11but which one should we go for?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- The Mail.- The Daily Mail.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17OK! Daily Mail. We have Daily Star and we have Daily Mail.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Nina and Matt, Daily Star. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27You have to win this question to stay in the game. Best of luck with Daily Star.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29It's right.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- 44. - APPLAUSE
0:32:37 > 0:32:4144 for the Daily Star. Very, very well done, Matt and Nina.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Jill and Frances have gone with the Daily Mail.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it. The Daily Mail.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56APPLAUSE
0:32:56 > 0:32:59You did what you had to do, Nina and Matt.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Richard.- Let's look at the answers.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07The best answer was Daily Record, the Scottish newspaper.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Would've scored 11.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Daily Telegraph, 42. Daily Star, 44.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Daily Express, 50. Daily Mirror, 60.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Daily Mail, right at the top on 83. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Here is your third question.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Whoever wins this goes through to the final and will play for that £10,000 jackpot.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Bjorn Borg Wimbledon opponents as they could.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Richard.- We're looking for any of the four men
0:33:36 > 0:33:40who Bjorn Borg has beaten in a Wimbledon Men's Singles Final.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41OK.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Jill and Frances, you go first this time.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47THEY WHISPER
0:33:48 > 0:33:51We'll go for John McEnroe.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53OK. You are saying John McEnroe.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Nina and Matt, we are looking for Bjorn Borg's opponents in Wimbledon finals.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I think that Pat Rafter was around that time.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04He could be worth a shot.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- I don't know anyone. - I would've liked to have gone with John McEnroe,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13but we'll go with Pat Rafter. What's the worst that can happen?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16The worst that can happen is, it'll be wrong!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18That is pretty bad!
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Jill and Frances, John McEnroe.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said John McEnroe.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's right.
0:34:30 > 0:34:3335 for John McEnroe.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Nina and Matt, you have to beat 35.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42How confident are you feeling about Pat Rafter?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Not confident at all.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Pat Rafter. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- THEY GROAN - Bad luck!
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59which means, after three questions,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Jill and Frances are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Richard.- A long time before Pat Rafter's time.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08He didn't get to his first final till 2000.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13So let's take a look at the four opponents, though.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Roscoe Tanner, who he beat in 1979.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19The big-serving American. Would've scored you 3 points.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Won his first title against Ilie Nastase. 6.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Won it twice against Jimmy Connors. 25.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28And the classic final against John McEnroe, went to five sets,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31scores 35 and sees you through to the final. Well done.
0:35:31 > 0:35:37Thanks, Richard. The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Nina and Matt.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Did you recognise any of the names? - Yes, I recognise the Connors person.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43But other than that, no.
0:35:43 > 0:35:49You've been brilliant contestants. It's been fabulous having you on. Sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Thank you for playing. - BOTH: Thank you.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54APPLAUSE
0:35:54 > 0:36:00It's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £10,000.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Congratulations, Jill and Frances. You've fought off the competition
0:36:11 > 0:36:14and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an impressive £10,000.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32CHEERING
0:36:32 > 0:36:36The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39an answer none of our 100 people thought of.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43We've had one pointless answer. You only have to find one more to get that money.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47First, you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Here they are:
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- What are you at home with? - I prefer composers.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- We'll go with that, then. - We'll go composers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You're going to go composers. Very best of luck.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Let's find out what that question is.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:08 > 0:37:12to name as many Verdi operas as they could.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Richard.- We're looking for the usual title of any opera composed by Giuseppe Verdi.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22When he later revised some of his operas, we'll accept both names as separate answers.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Best of luck.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31All you need to win that £10,000 is for just one of them to be pointless.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Well...- Tosca is the only one I can throw in!- It wasn't Verdi.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- He did a lot of Shakespeare. - Othello?- He did Falstaff.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Othello. Macbeth, as well.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Macbeth is maybe the most obscure one that I can think of.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53He did Aida. Nabucco.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59I don't know. I'm looking at you and if you haven't heard of them, I'm hoping that's a good sign!
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I've heard of Othello.- Have you? - And I've heard of Macbeth.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- What's Nabucco?- It's about... - Oh, the slaves. - You know the slave aria.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- We'll go with that, then. - You think Nabucco?- Yes.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- OK. And then we need to go for Macbeth.- Yes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- And then one other.- Othello?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Or Falstaff?- Falstaff, yes.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- OK.- Those are your three? - I think so.- Do you want any longer?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- BOTH: I don't think it'll help! - OK, we'll stop the clock.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32Your time is now up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- I think we'll go for Falstaff. - Falstaff.- Macbeth.- Macbeth. - And Nabucco.- Nabucco.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK. Of those three,
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- which do you think is your best chance?- Macbeth possibly.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47We'll put Macbeth last. And least likely?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Erm, Falstaff.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53So Falstaff first, then Nabucco...
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- And then Macbeth.- Macbeth. We'll put them up in that order.
0:38:57 > 0:39:03Here they are. Falstaff. Nabucco. And Macbeth.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07There they are. OK, we were looking for Verdi operas.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09This was your least confident answer.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £10,000 jackpot.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20Falstaff. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25It's right, obviously.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Now it has to go all the way down to zero.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29This is your first of three shots.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32It's into the teens, into single figures! Down it goes!
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Ohh!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37APPLAUSE
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- Amazing.- Well, unfortunately, that is not a pointless answer.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50Fortunately, it tells us something about our 100 people!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52One person in 100 knew Falstaff.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57It's looking very good further down the line for Macbeth, isn't it?
0:39:57 > 0:40:02We shall have to keep our fingers tightly crossed. You only have two more chances.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04What would you do with £10,000?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- What would you do with it? - Have a holiday.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- Jill, what would you do? - I'm taking my niece and nephew on a camping holiday to the Alps
0:40:11 > 0:40:15and I promised them if I won, we could have a chalet rather than tents.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17LAUGHTER
0:40:17 > 0:40:20You are going to be the most popular Aunt Jill they have!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Well, we are looking for Verdi operas.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Your second answer, Nabucco.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33- A little bit more confident in this one?- Maybe. I think so!
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- I'm going along with what my friend says.- Well, the last one scored 1,
0:40:37 > 0:40:41so if you're more confident in Nabucco, maybe that will score less than 1.
0:40:41 > 0:40:47It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £10,000. Only one way to find out if it is.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Is Nabucco right and if it is, how many people said it? Good luck.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Of course it's right.- Go on!
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Falstaff went down to 1. You thought this was a better shot.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Maybe this will go all the way. Single figures!
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- 3! - APPLAUSE
0:41:14 > 0:41:20It's your last shot. There's just Macbeth between you and £10,000.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- What do you think?- Are you allowed to say Macbeth in here?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27No, this is TV, it's fine, not theatre.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- The stage went...! - LAUGHTER
0:41:29 > 0:41:34This is your third and final answer. For £10,000,
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Macbeth.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Macbeth.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's right.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Falstaff came down to 1. Nabucco came down to 3.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Everything is now riding on Macbeth. Into the teens. Single figures.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Down it goes! Oh, no! - AUDIENCE GROAN
0:42:04 > 0:42:06That was in reverse order.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all important pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13You don't win today's jackpot, which rolls over.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18You have been fantastic contestants and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20LOUD APPLAUSE
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Richard, what were the pointless answers?- That was tough luck.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Let's look at the pointless answers. Hopefully, you won't recognise too many of them.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Joan Of Arc was pointless.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39I Due Foscari, based on a work by Lord Byron.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I Lombardi Alla Prima Crociata,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46which is "The Lombards on the First Crusade". All pointless.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48I Masnadieri,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52which was premiered in London in 1847 in front of Queen Victoria.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Il Trovatore, "The Troubadour",
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and La Battaglia Di Legnano, which is "The Battle of Legnano".
0:42:58 > 0:43:01La Forza Del Destino premiered in St Petersburg.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And Les Vepres Siciliennes.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06All of those were pointless. Any ring a bell?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09I've seen La Forza Del Destino, actually!
0:43:09 > 0:43:14- Didn't ring any bells for me! - Never mind.- Oh, dear. Bad luck.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22CHEERING
0:43:23 > 0:43:27So nobody's won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:27 > 0:43:30where we will be playing for £11,000!
0:43:30 > 0:43:32CHEERING
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- Join us to see if someone wins. It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
