Episode 8 Pointless

I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.

First, we welcome Ed and Laura. How do you two know each other?

We are students at Cardiff University.

-I'm studying law and politics. Ed is studying straight law, and we live together.

-Straight law?

-Is that what you call it?

-Yeah.

-What year are you in?

-We're both in our final year.

We thought we could be at university studying, or on Pointless! No brainer!

-Yeah. What are you hoping this will lead to?

-The degree or the show?

-I'm thinking the show, actually.

-Money would be good, then fritter it away in 24 hours.

Very best of luck. And welcome back, Ed and Jenny.

Our second Ed! We can't move for Eds today!

Two "Eds" are better than one! LAUGHTER AND GROANS

LAUGHTER

So, Ed B, remind us how you did last time.

We both got 100 points and went out in the first round.

-Jenny, what would you love to see come up?

-I don't know. Maybe food and drink, or geography.

Best of luck to you. And welcome back, Andy and David.

Everyone gets two chances to reach our Pointless final. This is your second chance.

-Remind us how YOU did.

-In the first round we managed to get a pointless answer.

In the second round, I think we now hold the record

for the highest points without getting a question wrong.

It was a high scoring second round! No shame in that. I have great hopes for you this afternoon.

I think you're the pair to look out for.

Very best of luck to the pair of you.

Finally, James and Matt. How do you know each other?

James is my brother. James is a little younger than me, though I'm clearly more handsome.

You're both extremely handsome.

I'd say there was a cigarette paper between you in the handsome stakes.

-What do you do, Matt?

-I'm a tattoo artist.

-James, how about you?

-I teach construction to 14 to 19-year-olds.

-And a canvas for Matt?

-Correct.

-Is there any of your back left that's flesh coloured?

-No. Covered.

-The front is clean?

-Covered.

-The front, too? All under the T-shirt?

-Yeah. Under the T-shirt.

You haven't tattooed any mountain ranges or capital cities of Asia?

-Um...

-No.

-No, sadly.

There's only one person left for me to introduce, of course.

He wrote the book on obscure facts. My Pointless friend, Richard.

Hiya.

-Is that the only author's credit you've got?

-The book...?

-On facts, apparently.

I don't recall writing a book.

THE book. There's only one, on obscure facts, and you are the author.

I'll ask my mum. If I wrote a book, she will have bought it. I don't think I did.

-LAUGHING:

-What kind of a show have we got, Richard?

I'm not very well. I've got a bit of a cold.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ah.

-Yeah.

I'd go so far as to say I may have the beginnings of man flu.

I'd drop the "man". You were unwell three days ago.

Well, enough about me.

We've got two returning pairs. Ed and Jenny, and Andy and David.

I think they're both going to do very well.

The first question is one that everybody can have a go at.

-Ed, there's a nice question for you in round three.

-Ed B or Ed G?

Ed B. Music Ed, rather than straight law Ed.

OK, we put all our questions to 100 people. We are after the obscure answers they didn't get.

The fewer people who got the answer, the better your chance of winning.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave,

then we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000.

Today's jackpot starts off at...

AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS

Right, let's play Pointless.

Right, each of you must give one answer, and you cannot confer.

Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

An incorrect answer will score the maximum 100 points.

Right, our first category this afternoon is...

Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many one-word Carry On films

as they could. Richard.

We're looking for any films from the series

whose title is Carry On followed by one word, as of the start of 2011.

Ed and Laura, you all drew lots and you get to go first.

Laura, Carry On films.

-I can think of a few plot lines and films but...

-You should write them.

-..remembering the title is the issue.

-Right.

There's a line going through my head

and I don't know whether it's the name of a film or just a famous quotation.

I'm so sorry, Ed, if this is 100.

I really am.

I'm going to go with Matron, as in Carry On Matron.

I knew that was the line going through your head. Kenneth Williams.

-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.

-It's right!

-I thought it was wrong.

A brilliant answer!

Very well done. That scores you 17. Richard.

Very well played, Laura. Impeccable logic.

-Carry On Matron from 1972.

-Splendid. Very well done.

So, then, Jenny.

We are looking for one-word Carry On films.

How many Carry On films have you seen?

-Quite a lot, but I can't remember any titles.

-That's the trouble.

All I can think of is Carry On Doctor.

We're working through the ward!

You're hoping to score as few points as possible.

-I doubt it.

-Let's see if it's correct and how many people said it.

It's right!

Very well done, Jenny. That scores you 48. Richard.

-Yes. Frankie Howerd starred in it.

-David, an obscure Carry On Film.

I hope this doesn't make you think of the genre of film I like to watch,

but I'm going with Carry On Emmannuelle.

Carry On Emmannuelle. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.

Let's see if it's right, and how many people said Carry On Emmannuelle.

Oh! Very, very well done!

Carry On Emmannuelle scores you four points. Richard.

You had to admit on television that you watched Carry On Emmannuelle, but it only got you four points.

It's from 1978 and they didn't make another Carry On film for 14 years.

It was THAT good(!) LAUGHTER

Carry On Emmannuelle, four points.

Matt, we are looking for one-word Carry On films.

-Have you got any...?

-I'm thinking back to all the bank holidays. I've certainly seen some!

It's remembering what they're called.

I think the latest one was Carry On Columbus.

Carry On Columbus, you're going to say. Let's see how that does.

You're hoping to score as few points as possible.

How many people said Carry On Columbus?

Very well done, Matt!

Fantastic. That scored you six points.

-Richard.

-Very well done. That was the film that was 14 years after Carry On Emmannuelle, in 1992.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

David and Andy, a fantastic answer from David. Lovely low score.

You're well down the pecking order.

Just ahead, Matt and James.

Laura, great score from you for Carry On Matron.

Jenny, quite far out in front, so Ed B,

-luckily, it's a subject you know masses about.

-Nothing.

You'll be scoring a pointless answer!

OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

So, James, we are looking for one-word Carry On films.

You're on six. If you can score 41 or less

with this answer, you are definitely through to the next round.

-What do you think?

-I very much doubt that's going to happen.

A couple of the ones I did know have already gone. I'm left with one.

I'll be surprised if that line moves much. Carry On Camping.

That's the only one I thought of.

If it's right, and it goes below that red line, you are through to the next round.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Carry On Camping.

You said it was going to be a high scorer! 84 takes your total to 90.

-Carry On Camping.

-Very big score, yes. From 1969.

Very good. Thanks so much. Andy.

You're on four.

If you can score 85 or less on this, you're through to the next round.

I don't know where it's from and I don't know if it's totally right,

but I think it's Cleo.

Carry On Cleo?

Very good. Below that red line, straight through to the next round.

How many people said Carry On Cleo?

Well done! And you're through.

Well done, Andy.

That takes your total up to 15.

-Richard, Carry On Cleo.

-Very well played, Andy.

-From 1964, and Amanda Barrie, who went on to be in Coronation Street, was Cleopatra.

-Thank you.

So then, Ed B. We are looking for one-word Carry On films.

Try and score as low as you possibly can to make sure you don't overtake

James and Matt.

If you can score 41 or less, you'll be through to the next round.

-I've got two answers.

-This is perfect!

-I'm wrestling.

One of them, I think, is going to be round about that mark.

One of them's a 41-er?

It's a 41-er. The other one, if it's right, will be lower.

-It might be a pointless-er.

-IF it's right.

-If it's right.

I'm going for the 41-er.

I'm going for the 41-er. I'm going for Carry On Screaming.

-WHISPERS:

-I think that's going to go below the red line.

Let's see how many people said Carry On Screaming.

You're through! Well done, Ed B!

-APPLAUSE

-Look at that!

Wow! Very well done. That take you up to 62. Richard.

Well played, Ed. Lovely to see you in the next round.

It's Carry On's version of the Hammer Horror series from 1966.

Ed G, you were talking down your chances.

I'm torn. I've got a feeling there might be Carry On Constable, but it might be Copper.

Or it might be neither, in which case I'll look stupid.

If you can get 72 points or fewer, you are through to the next round.

I'm going with Carry On Constable.

Very good. Well, below that red line you are through to the next round.

Let's see if it's correct. That's all it needs to be, Ed G.

If it is, I think it'll go below that red line. How many people said Carry On Constable?

It's right!

Oh! Well done!

Very, very well done, Ed G.

That takes your total up to 18.

-Richard.

-That was one of the earliest Carry On films, from 1960.

It was Sid James's first film. There were no pointless answers.

Carry On Constable's the best you could have done alongside...

Let's take a look at the most popular answers.

We've already seen the top two, but in third it was...

We'd had Doctor and Matron.

Jenny gave us that.

Right at the top, Carry On Camping, that we heard from James.

At the end of round one, the pair with the highest score,

I'm afraid, is James and Matt.

-You have my sympathy, James. I would have had to opt for Carry On Camping.

-Shocking category.

You came exactly the cropper I'd have come.

We will see you next time when, I hope, you'll make it beyond the first round. Thanks for playing.

APPLAUSE

For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team is leaving at the end of this round.

The category for round two is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.

This afternoon's round two question concerns...

Rivers and their capital cities.

We asked 100 people to tell us which capital cities these rivers flow through.

-Richard?

-We're going to show you six rivers in each pass.

The obscure ones score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.

As always, we mean the capital of a country which is a sovereign state and member of the UN.

So we are looking for the capital cities these rivers flow through...

-Now, Ed.

-Yes.

-There are six rivers.

You have to pick a nice obscure one you know flows through a capital city you can name.

There's some pretty obvious ones.

I'm going for one I'm sure of, the Potomac flows through Washington DC

in the USA.

-What are your hobbies, Ed?

-Not geography.

-Canoeing?

I live for that(!)

I do a radio show at university. I realise law isn't for me.

-Name That River? I've listened to it.

-That'd be a great feature!

Very lighthearted, the Luke and Ed Show with a friend, Luke.

-It's a lot more fun than doing a degree.

-Is the degree going to suffer massively?

It has already. I've only got a few months left.

What's a law degree? Come on!

So, Potomac...

-Potomac. Not POT-omac.

-How would I know?

Pot-O-mac. Washington. Wash-ING-ton.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Potomac, Washington.

It's right!

That's fine. Nothing wrong with that, Ed G. Richard.

The Potomac, the Nation's River, flows through Washington DC.

We should keep hold of Name That River, rather than give it to Ed. It's such a strong idea.

-Isn't it brilliant? The

-thing is, I like Ed, but I don't like Luke.

We listen a lot to the show. Ed's on and we're having a laugh.

-Then Luke...

-Brings it down!

-Do you know what, mate?

-Shut up every now and again! Let Ed talk! Don't you think?

-I do.

It's like you and Ben Miller.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Ben's wonderful. When will you ever shut up?

I'm joking. He's terrible, too. LAUGHTER

Jenny, remember, we are looking for the capital cities through which these rivers flow.

Yes. Three of them I know. Two of them I don't know at all.

I daren't completely guess.

I'll go for the Amstel, please.

-Splendid. Where is the Amstel?

-Amsterdam.

Very good. You're saying Amsterdam. Let's see if it's right.

And if it is, how many people said it.

Very good answer there, Jenny!

-Richard.

-You can't accuse the Dutch of being literal.

Amsterdam means "the dam on the River Amstel".

And Amstel means "watery place".

Thank you very much.

26 points. Well done, Jenny.

David, we are looking for rivers and their capital cities.

We have four rivers left.

I know the Liffey and I know the Seine.

Spree,I don't think I've heard of.

And I haven't heard of the other one.

I'm going for the Liffey, which is Dublin.

Let's see how many people said it. Liffey, Dublin.

It's not a terrible score.

-Richard.

-Well played, David. It's the most sensible thing to do.

Do you know what the Spree is?

-If I had to guess...

-Which you do.

-I would say Berlin.

Very well done.

The Manzanares was a pointless answer, so well done if you got it.

-Yeah.

-We're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores.

Jenny, the lowest scorer.

Very good answer, with the Amstel.

Ed G, 30 points for the Potomac.

51 was the best you could do from the selection. It's in Andy's hands.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We're putting six more rivers on the board...

We are looking for the capital cities these rivers flow through.

Andy, you're the highest scorers.

-Something you could easily claw back.

-It would if I knew them.

Really? Oh, dear!

I've got to go to one that seems as though it's correct.

The Moskva, Moscow.

Moskva, Moscow. Let's see if that's right.

And if it is, how many people said it.

It may be enough to see you through to the head-to-head. 41.

Richard.

Safe and solid answer. Moscow's name in Russian is Moskva.

-The city is named after the river.

-Ed B.

We are looking for capital cities

through which these rivers flow.

You're on 26. If you can score 65 or less with this answer,

you are through to the head-to-head.

-I don't rate my chances on that.

-Really?

-No. I've had a look.

-Are you not a rivers man?

-No.

-I know OF two.

-Uh-huh.

And I know one very obvious one and it's the only answer I've got.

I don't want to get 100.

-I have to go for the Thames.

-You have to tell me where the Thames flows through.

-London.

-I thought you were going to say Dorking. Brilliant!

London, Thames.

There's your red line. Do you think the Thames will take you there?

How many people said Thames, London?

Well, that's six better than 100.

That takes your total to a nice round 120. Richard.

It could be worse.

Not much worse, but it could be!

Yeah, Thames... It flows through London. I can confirm.

OK, Laura.

-Yeah.

-If you can score 89 or less.

I know some of the names. I've heard of the Tiber.

The Vistula, I want to say I've heard of. That might be a lie.

I have to take a guess at Tiber. At least I've heard of it.

I'm going to go... Something's saying Prague.

I know there is a river. I have crossed St Stephen's bridge.

I don't know what it's called. Prague.

-Prague?

-It's wrong.

Here is your red line coming in.

Below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.

Tiber. Prague.

Bad luck. That is an incorrect answer.

You score a maximum of 100 points.

Ed B and Jenny can't believe their luck.

Very bad luck, Laura. Richard.

Yeah. It's a fairly high scorer, 39 points. Do you know the answer?

Rome.

The Tagus is Lisbon. The longest river on the Iberian peninsula.

And the Sumida is Tokyo. Very well done if you got that.

Very well done if you got all six.

At the end of round two, the losing pair is Ed and Laura.

-You were ill served by our choice of categories.

-Yeah.

The best news for us is that we get to see you again.

-I hope you'll go a lot further than the second round.

-So do I.

Thank you very much for playing.

APPLAUSE

For the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.

Andy and David, Ed and Jenny, you're through to the head-to-head.

Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot which stands at....

You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.

Each pair gives me just one answer and you are now allowed to confer.

Come up with an answer that scores less than the others, and you will win that question.

The first to get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.

Let's play Pointless.

Here's your first question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Number One singles for ten weeks or more as they could.

Number One singles for ten weeks or more. Richard.

Any of the six singles that spent ten consecutive weeks at the top of the UK singles chart

from the start of the chart in 1952 through to the start of 2011.

Continuous weeks. Some have gone to Number One, been knocked off and gone back.

-Any of the six records that spent ten consecutive weeks at Number One.

-Thank you, Richard.

Andy and David, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.

We are looking for any of those singles that spent ten consecutive weeks at the top of the charts.

OK, you seem confident.

We don't know if it's split or not, but Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Bridge Over Troubled Water they're saying, Ed B and Jenny.

-Right, you got any?

-No.

I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston.

-Yeah.

-Everything I Do by Bryan Adams.

Er, Band Aid, Feed The World.

-Oh, yeah.

-Believe by Cher was at Number One for far too long!

That could have been ten weeks. Awful, awful song.

Ee... Other than that, I'm stuck. I don't know whether it is.

Go between one of those.

I thought I'd never say these words, but I'll go for Whitney Houston.

-OK.

-And I Will Always Love You.

Of course, Ed's a DJ, did you know that?

A big, big Whitney fan, I think. Whitney Houston?

Yeah. Second only to Cher(!)

-Yeah. I really...

-Lovely song.

In the order they were given,

Bridge Over Troubled Water, Andy and David have said.

Let's see how many people said Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer, Andy and David.

Ed and Jenny are going for I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

It's right. That's all it needs to be.

Very, very good score.

So after the first question, it is one-nil to Ed and Jenny. Richard.

Good answer. If you'd said Band Aid, you'd have scored 100. It wasn't Number One for ten weeks.

Well done if you said either of the ones at the bottom.

Rose Marie, Slim Whitman, was Number One for 11 weeks in the '50s.

Cara Mia, David Whitfield, was Number One for ten weeks in 1954.

Umbrella, Rihanna and Jay-Z.

I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston.

Wet Wet Wet, Love Is All Around.

And Bryan Adams, (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

Bridge Over Troubled Water was Number One for three weeks.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

female 2010 Wimbledon quarter-finalists as they could.

Female 2010 Wimbledon quarter-finalists. Richard.

Any player who reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon 2010 ladies' singles tournament.

You'll be unsurprised to learn there are eight answers.

Ed and Jenny, it's your turn to go first.

What do you think?

THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS

-You've reached a decision.

-Yeah.

We're going to go for Kim Clijsters.

Kim Clijsters, you're going to say.

Andy and David, you have to win this to stay in the game.

Did you watch the female 2010 quarter-finals?

Without being sexist, just the fellas.

It's so hard to say that without being sexist, isn't it?

-I was going to say we spent more time at work.

-That's the way to do it without being sexist.

-Go on.

-Venus Williams?

OK, we have Kim Clijsters. We have Venus Williams.

-Is that the one you'd have gone for, David?

-Um... Probably not.

It's a bit late now. He's already said it.

Ed and Jenny, Kim Clijsters. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

If you win this point you are through to the final.

It is right.

Lovely low score there!

Four points!

That's two fours you've scored on the trot.

I'll Always Love You scored four. Kim Clijsters scored four.

Andy and David, you have said Venus Williams.

Let's see how many people said Venus Williams.

After only two questions, in straight sets, Ed and Jenny are through to the final.

-Richard.

-Tough luck, Andy and David. You came up against a strong pair.

If anybody at home got all eight of these, I take my hat off to you.

Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.

Tsvetana Pironkova, who beat Venus in that quarter-final...

And some of the bigger names.

Vera Zvonareva got to the final...

Serena went on to win the whole thing.

So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm sorry to say is Andy and David.

-What would you have liked to have come up?

-Football.

-Anything other than those.

-Not chart singles and Wimbledon quarter-finalists.

You made it through to the head-to-head. No mean feat.

Only one pair makes it to the final, but you've been great contestants.

APPLAUSE

For Ed and Jenny, it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £2,250.

Congratulations, Ed and Jenny. You've seen off the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

Yes! Quite right!

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which stands at...

All you have to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.

We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only need to find one.

First, you must choose a category from these three options.

-Science is way out...

-Not science.

-We're going to rule that one out.

-Dogs is...

-Reasonable. American singers, you'll be better at.

If it's an area I know, we've got a chance.

If it isn't, I apologise now.

-I'd like to give it a stab.

-OK. That's fine.

-You are going to go for American singers?

-Yes.

Let's find out what your question is.

What would you like it to be? Which area would you be most comfortable with?

Anything out there alternative. I'm a rock and indie kid more than anything else.

Those are more my cup of tea.

OK, let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

as many Lionel Richie singles as they could. Richard.

Any single released by Lionel Richie that made it into the UK top 40.

His work with the Commodores doesn't count, but we will accept duets.

-Any double A side we'll accept as separate answers. This is to the start of 2011.

-Very best of luck.

You have one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win £2,250 is for one of those to be pointless.

Your 60 seconds start now.

I've got Say You, Say Me, All Night Long.

I'm struggling to think of anything else. I don't like him.

-Can you think of anything?

-No.

-Excellent. It's going well(!)

-It is!

-I'm trying to think of any duets. I'm picturing his perm and building a video around that.

Who else? Oh!

Say You, Say Me.

All Night Long.

Easy, with the Commodores.

-He said no Commodores.

-Yeah. I was going to say that.

-Anything at all?

-I'm sorry. No.

Um...

-I could give you a name but...

-Go for it.

-..it's got no bearing.

I'd make one up.

I don't know. Um...

That's it. Your time is up.

We were looking for Lionel Richie singles.

-You're going to have to make up a Lionel Richie song!

-We have!

He had to do it for years!

ED LAUGHS HEARTILY

What are your three answers?

-Say You, Say Me,

-Say You, Say Me.

-All Night Long.

-All Night Long.

-And we're going to have to make one up.

-OK.

-We're going to go for... Sorry.

-Sorry.

Sorry. Just Sorry.

Which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-Sorry.

-LAUGHTER

-Well, the other two, everyone will have named.

-So better go for one you've just made up?

Absolutely. Put it at the bottom. The others, someone else knows.

-Sorry goes at the bottom.

-It's a risk-taker, but it's there.

If he hasn't yet done a song called Sorry, I'm sorry.

-Which is your least confident?

-All Night Long.

So, let's put them on the board in that order.

You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £2,250 jackpot.

How many people said All Night Long? What do you think, Jenny?

-I'm not too confident.

-You're wishing he'd gone for dogs?

I'm feeling it's going to be a frosty journey home.

What do you mean? You'll be listening to Sorry. You can neck champagne!

All the way back to Ipswich!

"Play it again! Sorry! Come on, Mum!"

Right. OK. All Night Long. There it is.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

This is your first crack at the jackpot of £2,250.

Well, it's right.

You probably knew that, though.

It's looking pretty good, actually.

If All Night Long (All Night) can get only 16, who knows?

Say You, Say Me might go all the way down.

-What do you think?

-Y-yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm really confident(!)

-It doesn't matter. We've got Sorry to fall back on.

-You have.

That's not a pointless answer. You've got two shots left.

How would you spend £2,250?

My wife's three months' pregnant so we've got a baby on the way, our first kid.

Very good. Lionel. It's a shoe-in if it's a boy.

Oh! Without a doubt!

If Sorry comes up, it's going to be Lionel Lionel.

-Double barrelled.

-Lionel Lionel B?

-Yeah. That's it.

Let's see if anybody said Say You, Say Me. This has to be pointless.

Is it right and, if it is, how many people said it?

Well, it's right.

This is your second shot at the jackpot of £2,250.

That, I'm afraid, wasn't a pointless answer, but single figures.

It's going in the right direction for Sorry.

You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

We are looking for Lionel Richie songs.

You have said Sorry. You're hoping against hope

that this is a Lionel Richie single and nobody said it.

I think one of those things might come to pass!

This must be pointless. Let's see if anyone said it and if it's correct.

Sorry.

-Bad luck!

-APPLAUSE

That's a great shame.

Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,

so you don't win £2,250, which rolls over to the next show.

You have been amazing contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

-Richard.

-I'd have loved it if that had been right.

Someone is going to guess an answer. There are nine pointless answers.

These are the phrases you should have guessed.

You could have guessed Tender Heart, couldn't you?

I Forgot. That would have been perfect!

-I was that close!

-Might as well call one I Don't Know Any.

Do It To Me.

Nice.

Well done if you got any of those, and tough luck, Ed and Jenny.

Will you forgive Ed? He purports to be some kind of DJ.

Then he's given a hospital pass like this

and he drops, he fumbles and drops the ball.

This baby's got to be called Lionel. Even if it's a girl.

Especially if it's a girl!

-Yes!

-Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you.

You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you so much for playing.

APPLAUSE

Nobody's won our jackpot today so it rolls over.

On the next show we'll be playing for...

AUDIENCE CHEERS

-Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And from me. Goodbye.
