0:00:23 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:34the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39First, we welcome Ed and Laura. How do you two know each other?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We are students at Cardiff University.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48- I'm studying law and politics. Ed is studying straight law, and we live together.- Straight law?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Is that what you call it?- Yeah.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- What year are you in? - We're both in our final year.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01We thought we could be at university studying, or on Pointless! No brainer!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- Yeah. What are you hoping this will lead to?- The degree or the show?
0:01:06 > 0:01:13- I'm thinking the show, actually. - Money would be good, then fritter it away in 24 hours.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Very best of luck. And welcome back, Ed and Jenny.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Our second Ed! We can't move for Eds today!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Two "Eds" are better than one! LAUGHTER AND GROANS
0:01:28 > 0:01:30LAUGHTER
0:01:30 > 0:01:36So, Ed B, remind us how you did last time.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40We both got 100 points and went out in the first round.
0:01:40 > 0:01:47- Jenny, what would you love to see come up?- I don't know. Maybe food and drink, or geography.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Best of luck to you. And welcome back, Andy and David.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57Everyone gets two chances to reach our Pointless final. This is your second chance.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- Remind us how YOU did. - In the first round we managed to get a pointless answer.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07In the second round, I think we now hold the record
0:02:07 > 0:02:11for the highest points without getting a question wrong.
0:02:11 > 0:02:18It was a high scoring second round! No shame in that. I have great hopes for you this afternoon.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I think you're the pair to look out for.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Finally, James and Matt. How do you know each other?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34James is my brother. James is a little younger than me, though I'm clearly more handsome.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36You're both extremely handsome.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42I'd say there was a cigarette paper between you in the handsome stakes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- What do you do, Matt?- I'm a tattoo artist.- James, how about you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- I teach construction to 14 to 19-year-olds. - And a canvas for Matt?- Correct.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Is there any of your back left that's flesh coloured?- No. Covered.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- The front is clean?- Covered.- The front, too? All under the T-shirt? - Yeah. Under the T-shirt.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09You haven't tattooed any mountain ranges or capital cities of Asia?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Um...- No.- No, sadly.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16There's only one person left for me to introduce, of course.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21He wrote the book on obscure facts. My Pointless friend, Richard.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Hiya.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- Is that the only author's credit you've got?- The book...? - On facts, apparently.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I don't recall writing a book.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42THE book. There's only one, on obscure facts, and you are the author.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48I'll ask my mum. If I wrote a book, she will have bought it. I don't think I did.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- LAUGHING:- What kind of a show have we got, Richard?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm not very well. I've got a bit of a cold.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- AUDIENCE:- Ah. - Yeah.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I'd go so far as to say I may have the beginnings of man flu.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08I'd drop the "man". You were unwell three days ago.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Well, enough about me.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15We've got two returning pairs. Ed and Jenny, and Andy and David.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I think they're both going to do very well.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The first question is one that everybody can have a go at.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Ed, there's a nice question for you in round three.- Ed B or Ed G?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Ed B. Music Ed, rather than straight law Ed.
0:04:31 > 0:04:39OK, we put all our questions to 100 people. We are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44The fewer people who got the answer, the better your chance of winning.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52then we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Right, let's play Pointless.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Right, each of you must give one answer, and you cannot confer.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28An incorrect answer will score the maximum 100 points.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Right, our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Let's find out what the question is.
0:05:44 > 0:05:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many one-word Carry On films
0:05:51 > 0:05:54as they could. Richard.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57We're looking for any films from the series
0:05:57 > 0:06:03whose title is Carry On followed by one word, as of the start of 2011.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Ed and Laura, you all drew lots and you get to go first.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Laura, Carry On films.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- I can think of a few plot lines and films but...- You should write them.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- ..remembering the title is the issue.- Right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21There's a line going through my head
0:06:21 > 0:06:28and I don't know whether it's the name of a film or just a famous quotation.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'm so sorry, Ed, if this is 100.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I really am.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I'm going to go with Matron, as in Carry On Matron.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43I knew that was the line going through your head. Kenneth Williams.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49- I don't think it's a film.- Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Carry On Matron.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- It's right! - I thought it was wrong.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00A brilliant answer!
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Very well done. That scores you 17. Richard.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Very well played, Laura. Impeccable logic.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Carry On Matron from 1972. - Splendid. Very well done.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So, then, Jenny.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We are looking for one-word Carry On films.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20How many Carry On films have you seen?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Quite a lot, but I can't remember any titles.- That's the trouble.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28All I can think of is Carry On Doctor.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30We're working through the ward!
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- I doubt it.- Let's see if it's correct and how many people said it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It's right!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Very well done, Jenny. That scores you 48. Richard.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Yes. Frankie Howerd starred in it. - David, an obscure Carry On Film.
0:07:57 > 0:08:03I hope this doesn't make you think of the genre of film I like to watch,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06but I'm going with Carry On Emmannuelle.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12Carry On Emmannuelle. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Let's see if it's right, and how many people said Carry On Emmannuelle.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh! Very, very well done!
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Carry On Emmannuelle scores you four points. Richard.
0:08:35 > 0:08:42You had to admit on television that you watched Carry On Emmannuelle, but it only got you four points.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47It's from 1978 and they didn't make another Carry On film for 14 years.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It was THAT good(!) LAUGHTER
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Carry On Emmannuelle, four points.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Matt, we are looking for one-word Carry On films.
0:08:56 > 0:09:04- Have you got any...?- I'm thinking back to all the bank holidays. I've certainly seen some!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It's remembering what they're called.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I think the latest one was Carry On Columbus.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Carry On Columbus, you're going to say. Let's see how that does.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23How many people said Carry On Columbus?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Very well done, Matt!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Fantastic. That scored you six points.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45- Richard.- Very well done. That was the film that was 14 years after Carry On Emmannuelle, in 1992.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54David and Andy, a fantastic answer from David. Lovely low score.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58You're well down the pecking order.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Just ahead, Matt and James.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Laura, great score from you for Carry On Matron.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Jenny, quite far out in front, so Ed B,
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- luckily, it's a subject you know masses about.- Nothing.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17You'll be scoring a pointless answer!
0:10:17 > 0:10:22OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29So, James, we are looking for one-word Carry On films.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You're on six. If you can score 41 or less
0:10:32 > 0:10:37with this answer, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- What do you think?- I very much doubt that's going to happen.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45A couple of the ones I did know have already gone. I'm left with one.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50I'll be surprised if that line moves much. Carry On Camping.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53That's the only one I thought of.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00If it's right, and it goes below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Let's see if it's right and how many people said Carry On Camping.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13You said it was going to be a high scorer! 84 takes your total to 90.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Carry On Camping. - Very big score, yes. From 1969.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Very good. Thanks so much. Andy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You're on four.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28If you can score 85 or less on this, you're through to the next round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I don't know where it's from and I don't know if it's totally right,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36but I think it's Cleo.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Carry On Cleo?
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Very good. Below that red line, straight through to the next round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48How many people said Carry On Cleo?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well done! And you're through.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Well done, Andy.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02That takes your total up to 15.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Richard, Carry On Cleo. - Very well played, Andy.
0:12:05 > 0:12:13- From 1964, and Amanda Barrie, who went on to be in Coronation Street, was Cleopatra.- Thank you.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19So then, Ed B. We are looking for one-word Carry On films.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Try and score as low as you possibly can to make sure you don't overtake
0:12:24 > 0:12:27James and Matt.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31If you can score 41 or less, you'll be through to the next round.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- I've got two answers. - This is perfect!- I'm wrestling.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40One of them, I think, is going to be round about that mark.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42One of them's a 41-er?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47It's a 41-er. The other one, if it's right, will be lower.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- It might be a pointless-er. - IF it's right.- If it's right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm going for the 41-er.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I'm going for the 41-er. I'm going for Carry On Screaming.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- WHISPERS:- I think that's going to go below the red line.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Let's see how many people said Carry On Screaming.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18You're through! Well done, Ed B!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- APPLAUSE - Look at that!
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Wow! Very well done. That take you up to 62. Richard.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Well played, Ed. Lovely to see you in the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's Carry On's version of the Hammer Horror series from 1966.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Ed G, you were talking down your chances.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43I'm torn. I've got a feeling there might be Carry On Constable, but it might be Copper.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Or it might be neither, in which case I'll look stupid.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53If you can get 72 points or fewer, you are through to the next round.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I'm going with Carry On Constable.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Very good. Well, below that red line you are through to the next round.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Let's see if it's correct. That's all it needs to be, Ed G.
0:14:05 > 0:14:12If it is, I think it'll go below that red line. How many people said Carry On Constable?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's right!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Oh! Well done!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Very, very well done, Ed G.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29That takes your total up to 18.
0:14:29 > 0:14:36- Richard.- That was one of the earliest Carry On films, from 1960.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It was Sid James's first film. There were no pointless answers.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Carry On Constable's the best you could have done alongside...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Let's take a look at the most popular answers.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54We've already seen the top two, but in third it was...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58We'd had Doctor and Matron.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Jenny gave us that.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Right at the top, Carry On Camping, that we heard from James.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11At the end of round one, the pair with the highest score,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm afraid, is James and Matt.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19- You have my sympathy, James. I would have had to opt for Carry On Camping.- Shocking category.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22You came exactly the cropper I'd have come.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28We will see you next time when, I hope, you'll make it beyond the first round. Thanks for playing.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32APPLAUSE
0:15:32 > 0:15:35For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:15:41 > 0:15:49There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team is leaving at the end of this round.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52The category for round two is...
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06This afternoon's round two question concerns...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Rivers and their capital cities.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20We asked 100 people to tell us which capital cities these rivers flow through.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Richard?- We're going to show you six rivers in each pass.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30The obscure ones score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36As always, we mean the capital of a country which is a sovereign state and member of the UN.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41So we are looking for the capital cities these rivers flow through...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Now, Ed.- Yes.- There are six rivers.
0:17:02 > 0:17:09You have to pick a nice obscure one you know flows through a capital city you can name.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12There's some pretty obvious ones.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17I'm going for one I'm sure of, the Potomac flows through Washington DC
0:17:17 > 0:17:20in the USA.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- What are your hobbies, Ed? - Not geography.- Canoeing?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I live for that(!)
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I do a radio show at university. I realise law isn't for me.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Name That River? I've listened to it.- That'd be a great feature!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Very lighthearted, the Luke and Ed Show with a friend, Luke.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46- It's a lot more fun than doing a degree.- Is the degree going to suffer massively?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It has already. I've only got a few months left.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52What's a law degree? Come on!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54So, Potomac...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Potomac. Not POT-omac. - How would I know?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Pot-O-mac. Washington. Wash-ING-ton.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Let's see if it's right and how many people said Potomac, Washington.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's right!
0:18:16 > 0:18:21That's fine. Nothing wrong with that, Ed G. Richard.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26The Potomac, the Nation's River, flows through Washington DC.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32We should keep hold of Name That River, rather than give it to Ed. It's such a strong idea.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- Isn't it brilliant? The- thing is, I like Ed, but I don't like Luke.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42We listen a lot to the show. Ed's on and we're having a laugh.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Then Luke...- Brings it down! - Do you know what, mate?
0:18:46 > 0:18:52- Shut up every now and again! Let Ed talk! Don't you think?- I do.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's like you and Ben Miller.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Ben's wonderful. When will you ever shut up?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I'm joking. He's terrible, too. LAUGHTER
0:19:11 > 0:19:18Jenny, remember, we are looking for the capital cities through which these rivers flow.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Yes. Three of them I know. Two of them I don't know at all.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I daren't completely guess.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'll go for the Amstel, please.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Splendid. Where is the Amstel? - Amsterdam.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Very good. You're saying Amsterdam. Let's see if it's right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43And if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Very good answer there, Jenny!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Richard.- You can't accuse the Dutch of being literal.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Amsterdam means "the dam on the River Amstel".
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And Amstel means "watery place".
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Thank you very much.
0:20:06 > 0:20:0826 points. Well done, Jenny.
0:20:08 > 0:20:15David, we are looking for rivers and their capital cities.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17We have four rivers left.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I know the Liffey and I know the Seine.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Spree,I don't think I've heard of.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30And I haven't heard of the other one.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I'm going for the Liffey, which is Dublin.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Let's see how many people said it. Liffey, Dublin.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It's not a terrible score.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54- Richard.- Well played, David. It's the most sensible thing to do.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Do you know what the Spree is?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- If I had to guess...- Which you do. - I would say Berlin.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Very well done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12The Manzanares was a pointless answer, so well done if you got it.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- Yeah.- We're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Jenny, the lowest scorer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Very good answer, with the Amstel.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Ed G, 30 points for the Potomac.
0:21:28 > 0:21:3351 was the best you could do from the selection. It's in Andy's hands.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45We're putting six more rivers on the board...
0:21:58 > 0:22:02We are looking for the capital cities these rivers flow through.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Andy, you're the highest scorers.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Something you could easily claw back.- It would if I knew them.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Really? Oh, dear!
0:22:13 > 0:22:18I've got to go to one that seems as though it's correct.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The Moskva, Moscow.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Moskva, Moscow. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44It may be enough to see you through to the head-to-head. 41.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Richard.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Safe and solid answer. Moscow's name in Russian is Moskva.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- The city is named after the river. - Ed B.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56We are looking for capital cities
0:22:56 > 0:22:58through which these rivers flow.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01You're on 26. If you can score 65 or less with this answer,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- I don't rate my chances on that. - Really?- No. I've had a look.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Are you not a rivers man?- No.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I know OF two.- Uh-huh.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19And I know one very obvious one and it's the only answer I've got.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I don't want to get 100.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28- I have to go for the Thames. - You have to tell me where the Thames flows through.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- London.- I thought you were going to say Dorking. Brilliant!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34London, Thames.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40There's your red line. Do you think the Thames will take you there?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43How many people said Thames, London?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Well, that's six better than 100.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53That takes your total to a nice round 120. Richard.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56It could be worse.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Not much worse, but it could be!
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Yeah, Thames... It flows through London. I can confirm.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06OK, Laura.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Yeah. - If you can score 89 or less.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12I know some of the names. I've heard of the Tiber.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The Vistula, I want to say I've heard of. That might be a lie.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I have to take a guess at Tiber. At least I've heard of it.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25I'm going to go... Something's saying Prague.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I know there is a river. I have crossed St Stephen's bridge.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I don't know what it's called. Prague.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Prague?- It's wrong.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Here is your red line coming in.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tiber. Prague.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Bad luck. That is an incorrect answer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You score a maximum of 100 points.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Ed B and Jenny can't believe their luck.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Very bad luck, Laura. Richard.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Yeah. It's a fairly high scorer, 39 points. Do you know the answer?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Rome.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The Tagus is Lisbon. The longest river on the Iberian peninsula.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23And the Sumida is Tokyo. Very well done if you got that.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Very well done if you got all six.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30At the end of round two, the losing pair is Ed and Laura.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- You were ill served by our choice of categories.- Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40The best news for us is that we get to see you again.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- I hope you'll go a lot further than the second round.- So do I.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Thank you very much for playing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50APPLAUSE
0:25:52 > 0:25:58For the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Andy and David, Ed and Jenny, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot which stands at....
0:26:18 > 0:26:22You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Each pair gives me just one answer and you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Come up with an answer that scores less than the others, and you will win that question.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37The first to get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's play Pointless.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Here's your first question.
0:26:45 > 0:26:53We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Number One singles for ten weeks or more as they could.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Number One singles for ten weeks or more. Richard.
0:26:55 > 0:27:02Any of the six singles that spent ten consecutive weeks at the top of the UK singles chart
0:27:02 > 0:27:07from the start of the chart in 1952 through to the start of 2011.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13Continuous weeks. Some have gone to Number One, been knocked off and gone back.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19- Any of the six records that spent ten consecutive weeks at Number One.- Thank you, Richard.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Andy and David, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:24 > 0:27:31We are looking for any of those singles that spent ten consecutive weeks at the top of the charts.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40OK, you seem confident.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45We don't know if it's split or not, but Bridge Over Troubled Water.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Bridge Over Troubled Water they're saying, Ed B and Jenny.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Right, you got any?- No.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Yeah.- Everything I Do by Bryan Adams.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Er, Band Aid, Feed The World.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- Oh, yeah.- Believe by Cher was at Number One for far too long!
0:28:07 > 0:28:11That could have been ten weeks. Awful, awful song.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Ee... Other than that, I'm stuck. I don't know whether it is.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Go between one of those.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23I thought I'd never say these words, but I'll go for Whitney Houston.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- OK.- And I Will Always Love You.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30Of course, Ed's a DJ, did you know that?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33A big, big Whitney fan, I think. Whitney Houston?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Yeah. Second only to Cher(!)
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Yeah. I really...- Lovely song.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41In the order they were given,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Bridge Over Troubled Water, Andy and David have said.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Let's see how many people said Bridge Over Troubled Water.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer, Andy and David.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Ed and Jenny are going for I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's right. That's all it needs to be.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Very, very good score.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31So after the first question, it is one-nil to Ed and Jenny. Richard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:38Good answer. If you'd said Band Aid, you'd have scored 100. It wasn't Number One for ten weeks.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Well done if you said either of the ones at the bottom.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Rose Marie, Slim Whitman, was Number One for 11 weeks in the '50s.
0:29:46 > 0:29:52Cara Mia, David Whitfield, was Number One for ten weeks in 1954.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Umbrella, Rihanna and Jay-Z.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Wet Wet Wet, Love Is All Around.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07And Bryan Adams, (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Bridge Over Troubled Water was Number One for three weeks.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:30:16 > 0:30:22female 2010 Wimbledon quarter-finalists as they could.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Female 2010 Wimbledon quarter-finalists. Richard.
0:30:26 > 0:30:33Any player who reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon 2010 ladies' singles tournament.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37You'll be unsurprised to learn there are eight answers.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Ed and Jenny, it's your turn to go first.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45What do you think?
0:30:45 > 0:30:50THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- You've reached a decision.- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56We're going to go for Kim Clijsters.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Kim Clijsters, you're going to say.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Andy and David, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Did you watch the female 2010 quarter-finals?
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Without being sexist, just the fellas.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16It's so hard to say that without being sexist, isn't it?
0:31:16 > 0:31:23- I was going to say we spent more time at work.- That's the way to do it without being sexist.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Go on.- Venus Williams?
0:31:28 > 0:31:32OK, we have Kim Clijsters. We have Venus Williams.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37- Is that the one you'd have gone for, David?- Um... Probably not.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41It's a bit late now. He's already said it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Ed and Jenny, Kim Clijsters. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50If you win this point you are through to the final.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55It is right.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Lovely low score there!
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Four points!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07That's two fours you've scored on the trot.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11I'll Always Love You scored four. Kim Clijsters scored four.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Andy and David, you have said Venus Williams.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Let's see how many people said Venus Williams.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38After only two questions, in straight sets, Ed and Jenny are through to the final.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- Richard.- Tough luck, Andy and David. You came up against a strong pair.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48If anybody at home got all eight of these, I take my hat off to you.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56Tsvetana Pironkova, who beat Venus in that quarter-final...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03And some of the bigger names.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Vera Zvonareva got to the final...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Serena went on to win the whole thing.
0:33:13 > 0:33:20So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm sorry to say is Andy and David.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- What would you have liked to have come up?- Football.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30- Anything other than those. - Not chart singles and Wimbledon quarter-finalists.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34You made it through to the head-to-head. No mean feat.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Only one pair makes it to the final, but you've been great contestants.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:49For Ed and Jenny, it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £2,250.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Congratulations, Ed and Jenny. You've seen off the competition
0:34:00 > 0:34:04and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Yes! Quite right!
0:34:10 > 0:34:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which stands at...
0:34:21 > 0:34:27All you have to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only need to find one.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37First, you must choose a category from these three options.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- Science is way out...- Not science. - We're going to rule that one out.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- Dogs is...- Reasonable. American singers, you'll be better at.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57If it's an area I know, we've got a chance.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00If it isn't, I apologise now.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- I'd like to give it a stab. - OK. That's fine.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- You are going to go for American singers?- Yes.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Let's find out what your question is.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15What would you like it to be? Which area would you be most comfortable with?
0:35:15 > 0:35:21Anything out there alternative. I'm a rock and indie kid more than anything else.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Those are more my cup of tea.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:35:31 > 0:35:36as many Lionel Richie singles as they could. Richard.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41Any single released by Lionel Richie that made it into the UK top 40.
0:35:41 > 0:35:47His work with the Commodores doesn't count, but we will accept duets.
0:35:47 > 0:35:54- Any double A side we'll accept as separate answers. This is to the start of 2011.- Very best of luck.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58You have one minute to come up with three answers.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02All you need to win £2,250 is for one of those to be pointless.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I've got Say You, Say Me, All Night Long.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14I'm struggling to think of anything else. I don't like him.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- Can you think of anything?- No. - Excellent. It's going well(!)
0:36:19 > 0:36:27- It is!- I'm trying to think of any duets. I'm picturing his perm and building a video around that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Who else? Oh!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Say You, Say Me.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36All Night Long.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Easy, with the Commodores.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- He said no Commodores. - Yeah. I was going to say that.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Anything at all?- I'm sorry. No.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Um...
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- I could give you a name but... - Go for it.- ..it's got no bearing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I'd make one up.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I don't know. Um...
0:37:05 > 0:37:07That's it. Your time is up.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10We were looking for Lionel Richie singles.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- You're going to have to make up a Lionel Richie song!- We have!
0:37:15 > 0:37:17He had to do it for years!
0:37:17 > 0:37:20ED LAUGHS HEARTILY
0:37:20 > 0:37:22What are your three answers?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Say You, Say Me,- Say You, Say Me. - All Night Long.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- All Night Long.- And we're going to have to make one up.- OK.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- We're going to go for... Sorry. - Sorry.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Sorry. Just Sorry.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Sorry. - LAUGHTER
0:37:47 > 0:37:53- Well, the other two, everyone will have named.- So better go for one you've just made up?
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Absolutely. Put it at the bottom. The others, someone else knows.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Sorry goes at the bottom. - It's a risk-taker, but it's there.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06If he hasn't yet done a song called Sorry, I'm sorry.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Which is your least confident? - All Night Long.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13So, let's put them on the board in that order.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £2,250 jackpot.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35How many people said All Night Long? What do you think, Jenny?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- I'm not too confident. - You're wishing he'd gone for dogs?
0:38:39 > 0:38:43I'm feeling it's going to be a frosty journey home.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49What do you mean? You'll be listening to Sorry. You can neck champagne!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51All the way back to Ipswich!
0:38:51 > 0:38:55"Play it again! Sorry! Come on, Mum!"
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Right. OK. All Night Long. There it is.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11This is your first crack at the jackpot of £2,250.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Well, it's right.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20You probably knew that, though.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25It's looking pretty good, actually.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35If All Night Long (All Night) can get only 16, who knows?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Say You, Say Me might go all the way down.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- What do you think?- Y-yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm really confident(!)
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- It doesn't matter. We've got Sorry to fall back on.- You have.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52That's not a pointless answer. You've got two shots left.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59How would you spend £2,250?
0:39:59 > 0:40:04My wife's three months' pregnant so we've got a baby on the way, our first kid.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Very good. Lionel. It's a shoe-in if it's a boy.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Oh! Without a doubt!
0:40:11 > 0:40:14If Sorry comes up, it's going to be Lionel Lionel.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Double barrelled. - Lionel Lionel B?- Yeah. That's it.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23Let's see if anybody said Say You, Say Me. This has to be pointless.
0:40:23 > 0:40:29Is it right and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Well, it's right.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40This is your second shot at the jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55That, I'm afraid, wasn't a pointless answer, but single figures.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's going in the right direction for Sorry.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05We are looking for Lionel Richie songs.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09You have said Sorry. You're hoping against hope
0:41:09 > 0:41:13that this is a Lionel Richie single and nobody said it.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17I think one of those things might come to pass!
0:41:17 > 0:41:22This must be pointless. Let's see if anyone said it and if it's correct.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Sorry.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- Bad luck! - APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34That's a great shame.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:39 > 0:41:44so you don't win £2,250, which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:44 > 0:41:50You have been amazing contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Richard.- I'd have loved it if that had been right.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Someone is going to guess an answer. There are nine pointless answers.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05These are the phrases you should have guessed.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11You could have guessed Tender Heart, couldn't you?
0:42:12 > 0:42:17I Forgot. That would have been perfect!
0:42:17 > 0:42:22- I was that close!- Might as well call one I Don't Know Any.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Do It To Me.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Nice.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Well done if you got any of those, and tough luck, Ed and Jenny.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Will you forgive Ed? He purports to be some kind of DJ.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Then he's given a hospital pass like this
0:42:44 > 0:42:48and he drops, he fumbles and drops the ball.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52This baby's got to be called Lionel. Even if it's a girl.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Especially if it's a girl!
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- Yes!- Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you so much for playing.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Nobody's won our jackpot today so it rolls over.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16On the next show we'll be playing for...
0:43:16 > 0:43:19AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:43:19 > 0:43:25- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And from me. Goodbye.
