0:00:17 > 0:00:20CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Thank you very much. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:29 > 0:00:33and welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

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

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Well, first off we welcome Richard and Ian.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Welcome to the show. Where have you two come from?

0:00:44 > 0:00:48- We've come from Walsall in the West Midlands.- Walsall.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- What do you do, Richard? - Well, I work in a restaurant.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- I do TV-extra work, along with Ian. - In the restaurant?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58THEY LAUGH No, no. Clearly not.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02And I also dance for a drag queen called Glamour, The Spanish Experience.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- LAUGHTER - Glamour?

0:01:05 > 0:01:09What is so quintessentially Spanish about Glamour's experience?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- He's from Gran Canaria.- Right!

0:01:11 > 0:01:14He is. And he's got two sexy male dancers,

0:01:14 > 0:01:16and I'm one of them. HE LAUGHS

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Of all the things you do, which do you prefer -

0:01:20 > 0:01:23the Glamour, the waiting or the TV-extra work?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Do you know what - it's a good mix, and I like doing all three,

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- to be honest.- Have we ever had the pleasure of working together?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- No.- Not on a show with you, I don't think.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Not unless... We've done Casualty. I was in the bus crash,

0:01:35 > 0:01:39- and the toy-factory fire. - The toy-factory fire?

0:01:39 > 0:01:42We was both in a gun massacre in a nightclub once. And then...

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- We were run over by a dumper truck! - LAUGHTER

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- BOTH: In a quarry! - It's great to have you here.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Very best of luck to you. - Thank you.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Next, we welcome Steve and Cathy. Where have you come from?

0:01:53 > 0:01:55- We've come from Swansea. - From Swansea in Wales.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- How do you two know each other? - This is my lovely wife, Cathy,

0:01:58 > 0:02:01and we met eight years ago. We got married six years ago,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04on the same day as Camilla and Charles.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Same day!- Same day. - What do you do, Cathy?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I work for a large retail store.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- How about you, Steve?- I work in IT,

0:02:13 > 0:02:17for a global computer firm. It's a type of sauce as well, brown sauce.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Oh, right! Yes. I know the ones. - That's the one, yeah.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- I know the very people you mean. - Yeah.- Oh!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27You got it? Yes. You know what I mean?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I was trying to work it out!- Yes! - LAUGHTER

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Cathy, what would you like to see come up?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Um, films, nature...

0:02:35 > 0:02:38There's a lovely nature reserve by our house. We take the children...

0:02:38 > 0:02:42I thought you said Nietzsche. I thought you meant philosophy.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I was thinking, "Wow, that is..." - That is quite specific!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- But there's a nature reserve... - Yes.- Very good.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, I, of course, have no idea about anything,

0:02:51 > 0:02:55but least of all what's coming up in the programme, but best of luck.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Next we welcome back Diane and Marc. You were on the show last time.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Everyone gets two chances. This is your last chance.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Remind us what happened. - We got to the head-to-head.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08We got two pointless answers, but we weren't very good

0:03:08 > 0:03:10on the characters in Grease.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Oh, that's right - Pink Ladies and T-Birds.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17Diane, last time you revealed to us that you are a counsellor,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- but you moonlight as a sex therapist.- I do, yes. Yes.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- When I've nothing better to do. - That's also a counselling job?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Kind of, yeah. - It's not a hands-on job, is it?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- No, no, no. - LAUGHTER

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I just wanted to tidy that one up. - It does involve toys, though.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- It does involve toys? - Yeah, sometimes.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38SHE LAUGHS

0:03:38 > 0:03:39THEY LAUGH

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Very good. Very best of luck. It's lovely to have you back.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Thank you.- And finally we welcome back Lynne and Glenys.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49You were also here last time. Remind us what happened with you.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51We were knocked out in the third round.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Second.- Unfortunately I got my... Second round, I should say.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I got my Dallases mixed up with my Dynastys,

0:03:58 > 0:04:01so I knew I was there, or somewhere...

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- You were almost there. - I let Lynne down.- I don't think so.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Lynne, have you forgiven her? - Yes, course I have.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10We discovered last time that you both play golf.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12What else do you like to do, Glenys?

0:04:12 > 0:04:18We run an investment club, and the common denominator is golf,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21and we meet once a month and we discuss stocks and shares.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24We don't put very much money in each month,

0:04:24 > 0:04:26but we do buy and sell stocks and shares.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- And who advises you? - Nobody. We do our research.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well, good luck with that, and very best of luck this afternoon.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Thank you.- We'll find out more about all of you later.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38There's only one person left for me to introduce - Richard.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42APPLAUSE

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Should be a good show today. We've got two returning pairs.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Diane and Marc were very, very strong last time.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Just got knocked out in the head-to-head.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Lynne and Glenys were unlucky, so two good pairs.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04In every series we have one question that knocks all the others out the park.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Last series we had types of lettuce.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- That was our stellar round. - I don't think anyone will top that.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I think round one today is pretty good.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16If you liked types of lettuce, you'll like round one, I think.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18And if you didn't, well...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's one of our gala rounds, is it, this one?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I think so. It's one of those things

0:05:23 > 0:05:27that you may be carried aloft from the building when you announce it,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29by cheering crowds. LAUGHTER

0:05:29 > 0:05:31OK. Very good. Thank you, Richard.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37but this is Pointless, so we are after the answers they didn't get.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40To stay in the game, all our players need to do

0:05:40 > 0:05:42is score as few points as they can.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46What everyone's trying to do is find a Pointless answer,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48one that none of our 100 people gave,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51and every time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Nobody won it last time, so we add another £1,000,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57so today's jackpot stands at £5,000.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Right! Let's play Pointless.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,

0:06:14 > 0:06:17and you cannot confer. Whichever team has the highest score

0:06:17 > 0:06:20at the end of the round will be eliminated. OK.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Our first category this afternoon is...

0:06:23 > 0:06:27..geology! Can you all decide in your pairs

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- who's going to go first and second? - THEY WHISPER

0:06:30 > 0:06:33And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- to name as many types of rock... - CHEERING

0:06:42 > 0:06:46- ..as they could. - CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:06:51 > 0:06:55- It's types of rock. Richard? - Everyone always says they want it.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Finally it's here. Everybody at home, strap yourselves in.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Let's all enjoy this together.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04All the correct answers in this round are types of rock -

0:07:04 > 0:07:07that's igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Very, very best of luck. - Those are the rocks.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Them's the rocks.- Oh, yes.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Thank you. Richard and Ian, you all drew lots before the show,

0:07:16 > 0:07:19and this afternoon you get to go first.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23In this round, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers

0:07:23 > 0:07:26on the board in each pass, you'll be relieved to hear.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Your first set of seven answers reads like this.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,

0:07:49 > 0:07:53but be very careful, because at least one is also wrong.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Pick an incorrect one and you will score the maximum of 100 points.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Now, then, Richard... This is a festival round, isn't it?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Types of rock, Richard! - Types of rock.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I was thinking I was going to do all right,

0:08:06 > 0:08:11because I had this thing when I was a kid called Treasures of the Earth, about rocks and geology.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13But when you put them up there... Jeez.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16LAUGHTER I'm going to go for one

0:08:16 > 0:08:21that I can kind of relate to. Um, pumice stone,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24so I'll probably say pumice is the answer I'm going to give.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Pumice. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30let's see how many people said pumice.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's right.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Still going down. 11! Look at that. Very good.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Great score. 11 for pumice.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Yeah. Well done, Richard. Pumice stone is formed from volcanic lava,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50so it's full of gas bubbles, which is why it floats.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's a rock that floats. This round's fun already, isn't it?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- It is just... - A rock that floats? Come on!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59What more do you want?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Cathy, we're looking at types of rocks.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well, I was going to say pumice,

0:09:05 > 0:09:08because I know Steve would say that's what I need for my feet,

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- so...- Sorry. Just got to stop there.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Does she?- I think she does, yeah.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- OK.- Yes.- Careful what you say. THEY LAUGH

0:09:16 > 0:09:18There's one I know that's a definite,

0:09:18 > 0:09:24so I'm going to go for what I hope's a pointless answer,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26obsidian.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Obsidian.- Sounds like a rock.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Obsidian. Let's see if obsidian's right, and if it is,

0:09:31 > 0:09:34let's see how many people said obsidian.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38- It's right!- Yes!

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Well, pumice scored 11. What's obsidian going to score?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Down it goes. Still going down! One! - CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:09:48 > 0:09:52That's a brilliant answer, Cathy. Obsidian scores you one point.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Richard?- Well played. It's a naturally occurring volcanic glass.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I did know that.- In cardiac surgery they use obsidian blades.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Some of the sharpest knives in the world are obsidian knives.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- See?- There you are.- More rock facts.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- It's obsidian blades.- Brilliant.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14Diane and Marc, in the first round of your last Pointless show,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17you gave us not one but two pointless answers.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Diane, I will be bitterly disappointed,

0:10:21 > 0:10:23bitterly disappointed, if you don't come up with that.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27I really should know this. I really should know these.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Why should you? - Because I used to do geology.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Did you?- Yes. - To what level did you do geology?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37I did A-level geology. That's a long time ago,

0:10:37 > 0:10:40and I don't know half of those, but I know one,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44and it's so obvious. So I'm going to take a gamble.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Scherer. - You're going to go for scherer.

0:10:49 > 0:10:54There it is. One up from the bottom. Scherer, you're saying.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Oh!- Oh, bad luck, Diane! I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer,

0:11:05 > 0:11:08which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm sorry. Richard will tell us why it's wrong.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Sorry, Diane. Scherer is Rock Hudson's real name.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15SHE LAUGHS

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Do they not do that in A-level geology?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20They didn't, no.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- He was Roy Scherer Junior.- Oh, dear.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Back to the rocks. Back to the rocks. Now, then, Lynne,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30we are looking for types of rock.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Nobody's found the pointless answer. Let's see if you can find it now.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well, I know granite's going to be...should be on there,

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- but I'm not certain about... - Granite is on there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42I mean it should be a rock.

0:11:42 > 0:11:47But should I go for something a bit more adventurous?

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- No. I'll go for granite. - OK. We're going to go for granite.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said granite.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- 63. - APPLAUSE

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Not a bad score, Lynne. 63 for granite.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Very common in the UK, granite, and a fairly big score,

0:12:11 > 0:12:13but once you'd seen 100, it's not a bad tactic.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Let's look at the rest of the board. Essexite is a real rock.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21That was a pointless answer. Named after Essex County in Massachusetts,

0:12:21 > 0:12:25where it was first discovered. Out of the other two, mokey and wacke,

0:12:25 > 0:12:30one of those is a very abundant rock, forms the backbone of New Zealand,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33a lot of Britain. The other one is a character from Fraggle Rock.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Which do you think is which?

0:12:35 > 0:12:40I'm going to go for wacke being the real rock.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Is exactly right. Wacke is a pointless answer.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Mokey a character from Fraggle Rock, so that was an incorrect answer.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Thank you. We're halfway through the round,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52so let's take a look at the scores. Cathy and Steve,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54lovely low score there with one.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Richard and Ian looking pretty good on 11,

0:12:57 > 0:13:00then up to 63, Lynne and Glenys.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04And then Diane and Marc way out in front there.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Marc, you'll have to answer brilliantly in the next pass

0:13:07 > 0:13:10if you're going to make it through to the next round.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK. We're going to put seven more answers on the board.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Remember, we are looking for types of rock, and we have got...

0:13:38 > 0:13:41I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44and at least one of those answers is incorrect.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49Try and avoid those incorrect ones, like you need to be told.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Glenys, you're on 63.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54The high scorers, on 100, are Marc and Diane.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58If you can score 36 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01My daughter, who's in the audience,

0:14:01 > 0:14:05bought me a chess set,

0:14:05 > 0:14:09and two of the possible answers are there,

0:14:09 > 0:14:13and I, for the life of me, can't decide which one it is,

0:14:13 > 0:14:17- but I'm going to go with soapstone. - You're going to say soapstone.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19There's your red line. Get below that,

0:14:19 > 0:14:21you are through to the next round.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25Soapstone. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's right.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34And you're through to the next round. Very well done, Glenys.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Very well done! - APPLAUSE

0:14:36 > 0:14:40One point for soapstone. Takes your total up to 64.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Richard, soapstone? - Well played, Glenys.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Safely through. Yeah, it's a metamorphic stone.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49The statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio is created in soapstone.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Do you know the difference between a stone and a rock?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- No.- I'm not going to waste your time telling you.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- We'd be here for half an hour. - In a word?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- It's three words - "I don't know". - OK, good.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04Right. Marc and Diane, you are on 100 points.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06You are the high scorers. Marc, you have to answer

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- as brilliantly as you possibly can. - OK. No pressure.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Otherwise we have to say goodbye to you after this round.

0:15:12 > 0:15:17OK. I don't know whether to take a risk or to play it safe.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21You're the high scorers on 100. The others are Ian and Richard on 11.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27They're a long way behind you. And Steve and Cathy on one.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29- It's either pointless or bust, I would say.- OK.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Even then, it might be pointless AND bust.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Sorry to be the voice of doom here, but...

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- LAUGHTER - Karpis.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Karpis, you are saying. This is a complete guess.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44But a little bit of logic?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Complete guess.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Karpis. What do you think, Diane? - I've no idea. Never heard of it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Your geology A level... - I know most of them.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Wasn't that one of your set rocks? - Yeah.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59My geology teacher's turned over in his grave.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Appropriately, somehow. - LAUGHTER

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Anyway, there we are. Karpis, you say.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said karpis.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11DIANE LAUGHS

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh, no!

0:16:14 > 0:16:18From double pointless to double incorrect.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Oh, dear.- Unfortunately that is an incorrect answer,

0:16:21 > 0:16:24which means you score the maximum of 100,

0:16:24 > 0:16:26and that takes your total up to 200.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Bad luck, Marc. Sorry. - Yeah. Sorry, Marc.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33Alvin Karpis was the longest-ever inmate at the Rock, Alcatraz,

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm afraid.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thank you very much.

0:16:37 > 0:16:43Steve, you and Cathy are through to the next round whatever happens.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48You'll never be able to overtake the top score of Marc and Diane.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Impressive 200 that they've notched up.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Bearing all that in mind,

0:16:53 > 0:16:56maybe see if you can find the pointless answer.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- There might be two. - This isn't my best subject,

0:16:58 > 0:17:01but as we're already through, I'll probably take a risk

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- and say slaghoople.- Slaghoople?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Yeah.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09It's certainly the most fun word on that board.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Is it a rock?

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Let's find out. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:17:18 > 0:17:19Oh!

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Bad luck, Steve. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:17:23 > 0:17:26which scores you 100 points, taking your total up to 101.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Slaghoople, Richard.- How dare you?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31THEY LAUGH

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Not a rock. Slaghoople is Wilma Flintstone's maiden name.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38LAUGHTER She was previously Wilma Slaghoople.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- It's a beautiful name. - It is a pretty name.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44A pretty name. Now, then, Ian, Ian,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47we've had two incorrect answers.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I can't believe there are any more on that board,

0:17:49 > 0:17:52but there is definitely at least one pointless answer.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- HE GRUNTS - And you're through.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59So why not... Why not find that pointless answer?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02I think dolomite... Isn't that a mountain range somewhere?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04And they're made of rocks, aren't they?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Basalt, limestone, sandstone, I think they're all rocks.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11What would be the pointless one? I'll go for dolomite.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Go for dolomite. Let's see if it's right,

0:18:14 > 0:18:18and if it is, let's see how many people said dolomite.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's right! Very well done, Ian.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25I have a feeling this might go a long way down.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Yes! Very well done!

0:18:29 > 0:18:31- CHEERING / APPLAUSE - Thank you!

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Thank you!

0:18:33 > 0:18:38You've triumphed with dolomite there. A pointless answer,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42which adds £250 to our jackpot, taking our total up to £5,250.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 11.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- APPLAUSE - Richard?

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Well played, and well worked out. The Italian Alps are the Dolomites,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54and they are indeed made of rock.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Let's fill in the rest. Well done if you said dolomite.

0:18:57 > 0:19:02Sandstone would have scored you a fairly hefty 41,

0:19:02 > 0:19:05then limestone would have scored you 35,

0:19:05 > 0:19:10and basalt slightly lower on 16.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Thank you, Richard. At the end of round one,

0:19:13 > 0:19:15the losing pair with the highest score...

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Oh, Diane, it's you and Marc! - SHE LAUGHS

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- That's really awful, isn't it? - Oh, dear.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23You with your geology A level!

0:19:23 > 0:19:26I've got loads of rock around the house.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Rock around the house? - I collect rocks.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- SHE LAUGHS - Really?

0:19:31 > 0:19:34LAUGHTER

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Do any of them have their names on them?

0:19:36 > 0:19:40- No. I don't know what they are. - Do you know the difference between a rock and stone?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43A stone isn't a term that geologists use.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46They only ever use rock. Rock is something that's deposited,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49and metamorphosed and extruded from the surface,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52and a stone is something in a river that's rushed around.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55There you go. A stone is something in a river...

0:19:55 > 0:19:58LAUGHTER ..and a rock is everything else.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I believe we have our answer.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Thank you so much for putting us in the picture,

0:20:04 > 0:20:07and thank you both for being such brilliant contestants.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Thanks so much for playing.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11APPLAUSE

0:20:11 > 0:20:15But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,

0:20:23 > 0:20:26so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Our round-two category this afternoon is...pop music.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46OK. So, our round-two question concerns...

0:20:46 > 0:20:49song titles which are questions.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Song titles which are questions, Richard?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56I'll show you six song titles, all of which are questions, in each pass.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59We asked 100 people which artist or group first had a hit with those.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02An obscure answer will score fewer points.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05If you give an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08See how many of those 12 you can get at home.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12OK. There you are. We are giving you song titles that are questions.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14You have to tell us who had a hit with them first.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16And we have got...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Now, Richard...- Yes.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Song titles with question marks at the end of them.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44How's that looking to you? How many of those do you know?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46One, two,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48that I definitely know.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52I think I'm going to go for Who's David?

0:21:52 > 0:21:56and I believe it was Busted, that song, Who's David?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Who's David?, Busted. - By Busted, yeah.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Busted.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Very well done, Richard! That's great.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Very well done indeed!

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Four for Busted.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Richard?- Very well done, Richard. Number-one single in 2004

0:22:23 > 0:22:25by the much-missed Busted.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27LAUGHTER

0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Maybe they'll come back. Maybe they'll reform and tour stadiums. - That would be awesome.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I would love... I would love that.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36LAUGHTER Yes, please.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yes, please. Now, Cathy, we have a list of songs behind me.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Five of them left on that list. Busted is gone.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46- What are you thinking?- Um...

0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm going to take a punt and hope I'm right

0:22:50 > 0:22:52with How Do I Live?,

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- LeAnn Rimes. - How Do I Live?, LeAnn Rimes.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Steve thinks that's right. - Think so, yeah.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Let's find out. How Do I Live? Is it LeAnn Rimes,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06and if it is, how many people knew that answer?

0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's right!

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Down it goes. 11. Very well done, Cathy.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21Not a bad score at all for Leann Rimes.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well played. Big hit in the UK, but a massive hit in the US,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28one of the biggest-selling singles of all time in US chart history.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Lynne, we are looking for the first people to have had a hit

0:23:35 > 0:23:38with these songs with a question in them.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41The last one I'm almost certain of.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44I've got it singing in my head, and I'm just not 100% certain

0:23:44 > 0:23:47whether I should say who I think it is.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49So I'll go for What's New Pussycat? and Tom Jones.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Tom Jones. Is that right, and if it is,

0:23:52 > 0:23:54how many people knew that answer?

0:23:59 > 0:24:0166.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04A safe answer, but an expensive one.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Tom Jones, Richard.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Well played, Lynne. Was never a top-ten hit

0:24:09 > 0:24:13in the UK, but was nominated for Best Song Oscar. Written by Bacharach.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- What were you going to say for the other one?- The Beach Boys.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Ah, that's Wouldn't It Be Nice?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Wouldn't It Be Good?... - I knew to start with, but...

0:24:21 > 0:24:25So a very, very good decision. It was Nik Kershaw,

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Wouldn't It Be Good? Would have scored you 19 points.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Alexander, do you know those other two?

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Travis.- Travis is Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- That would have scored you 23. - And ABBA.- Exactly right.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Would have scored you 37. Best answer on the board, actually,

0:24:39 > 0:24:42we had first, Who's David? by Busted.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Thanks. We're halfway through the round,

0:24:44 > 0:24:46so let's take a look at those scores.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Richard, brilliant answer there with Busted.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52That's put you in a very strong position on four.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Then we go up to 11, Cathy and Steve. That's a great score there.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Then up to 66 for Lynne and Glenys.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Glenys, you're going to have to try really hard

0:25:01 > 0:25:04to find an obscure answer on the next pass

0:25:04 > 0:25:06to get through to the head-to-head.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15We're going to put six more song titles on the board,

0:25:15 > 0:25:17and we have got...

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Remember, we are looking for the artists who recorded these songs,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47So, Glenys, you're the high scorers on 66.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Your only way of surviving through to the head-to-head

0:25:50 > 0:25:53is to find a really low-scoring answer.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56This is probably the worst question I could have,

0:25:56 > 0:26:00and there's only one that I know really well,

0:26:00 > 0:26:05which is Have I The Right? And I'm going to say The Applejacks.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- I don't know why, but I am. - You're saying The Applejacks?

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Yes.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Lynne doesn't look too happy with that.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13No.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:26:19 > 0:26:24Bad luck, bad luck, Glenys! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:26:24 > 0:26:26which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29which takes your total up to an unbeatable 166.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Sorry, Glenys. I won't give you the right answer now,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35in case any of the others want to have a go.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Steve, you are through to the next round whatever happens,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41so see if you can find a lovely low-scoring answer.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43There's only two up there that I really know.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47My son's favourite song is up there, and he's five,

0:26:47 > 0:26:50and I think Can We Fix It? was Bob the Builder.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Bob the Builder. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:26:53 > 0:26:56how many people said Bob the Builder.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59It's right!

0:27:00 > 0:27:06Yes, we can. 64 that scores you, taking your total up to 75.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Richard?- Yeah. Christmas number one, that was, in the year 2000.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Christmas number one? - Number one, yeah.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17And people complain about X Factor always hogging Christmas number one!

0:27:17 > 0:27:21You don't know how lucky you are. Some of the things we had to suffer...

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah, good point.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27So, Ian, you are through to the head-to-head whatever happens.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30I'll go for Where Do Broken Hearts Go?, Whitney Houston.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Whitney Houston for Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41It's right.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Nine! Very, very good answer. Lovely low score there.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Two scores in single figures. Takes your total up to 13.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Good answer, Ian. It's her seventh consecutive US number one,

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Where Do Broken Hearts Go? Let's clear up the rest of the board.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Glenys, you were very unlucky with Have I The Right?

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- It's actually a pointless answer. - The Honeycombs.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10Exactly right. Not The Applejacks, the Honeycombs.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well done if you said that at home. Would have added £250 to the jackpot.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?, Culture Club, 58.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Should I Stay Or Should I Go?, Alexander?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- It's The Clash. - The Clash. Exactly right. 27.

0:28:24 > 0:28:29Final question, Who Let The Dogs Out? It was the Baha Men.

0:28:29 > 0:28:3113 points. Well done if you said Baha Men.

0:28:31 > 0:28:36The Honeycombs, best answer. Really, really unlucky. Well done if you got it at home.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Thanks very much. At the end of round two, the losing pair,

0:28:39 > 0:28:44- I'm afraid it's Lynne and Glenys. - We won't fall out.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47- We don't fall out.- We're playing golf together tomorrow.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51Tomorrow? Very, very good. Don't even mention The Applejacks.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- LAUGHTER - You made it to round two last time.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57You made it this time, which is not an empty achievement.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01But I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Thank you. - Thanks so much for playing.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Thank you. - APPLAUSE

0:29:06 > 0:29:12For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20Very well done, Richard and Ian, Steve and Cathy.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22You've made it through to the head-to-head.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Only one pair can make it through to today's final

0:29:26 > 0:29:29and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £5,250.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32AUDIENCE CHEERS

0:29:33 > 0:29:37You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40For each question, each player needs to give me one answer,

0:29:40 > 0:29:42and you are now allowed to confer.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair,

0:29:45 > 0:29:50and you win that question. The first to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Let's play Pointless.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:30:01 > 0:30:07to name as many Olympic host cities beginning with A as they could.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10Olympic host cities beginning with A.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Yeah. Any city that's hosted a Summer or Winter Olympics,

0:30:13 > 0:30:16from the first one in 1896 all the way through to the Winter Olympics

0:30:16 > 0:30:19of 2010. There are five cities in all,

0:30:19 > 0:30:21so see if you can get all five of them at home.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24Richard and Ian, because you've played best so far,

0:30:24 > 0:30:28you get to go first. We are looking for Olympic host cities

0:30:28 > 0:30:29beginning with A.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31THEY WHISPER

0:30:36 > 0:30:38THEY WHISPER

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- OK. We have an answer. - OK. We know two

0:30:43 > 0:30:47that we can think of, but we're going to go with

0:30:47 > 0:30:50what we thought was the oldest, which is Atlanta.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53Atlanta. OK, you're saying Atlanta. Steve and Cathy,

0:30:53 > 0:30:56- what do you want to say? - I think Belgium has hosted it once,

0:30:56 > 0:30:59and it wasn't in Brussels, but it was in Antwerp,

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- so we'll go for that.- Yeah.- Antwerp?

0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Antwerp. - Antwerp. Now, is that a guess, or...

0:31:05 > 0:31:08- No, I think... - You think that's right.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Very good. So we have Atlanta from Richard and Ian,

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Antwerp from Steve and Cathy. In the order they were given,

0:31:14 > 0:31:18is Atlanta right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:31:24 > 0:31:2633.

0:31:30 > 0:31:3233 for Atlanta.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Steve and Cathy, you are going for Antwerp.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:31:38 > 0:31:42let's see how many people said it. 33 is what you've got to beat.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Very good.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Down it goes. Yep, you've done it!

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Wow, six!

0:31:52 > 0:31:55- CHEERING / APPLAUSE - There's a great score!

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Six beats 33, so after the first question,

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Steve and Cathy are up one-nil. Richard?

0:32:02 > 0:32:04That's a very good answer. Very well played indeed.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07The 1920 Summer Olympics were held in Antwerp,

0:32:07 > 0:32:11the only time ever in Belgium. One answer would have beaten it,

0:32:11 > 0:32:14and one that would have tied. See if you got all five at home.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18The best answer, the Winter Olympics were held in France, in Albertville.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22Would have scored you two points. Antwerp and Amsterdam, both six.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26Atlanta we've heard, on 23, and Athens right at the top on 55.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here is your second question.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Richard and Ian, you have to win this to stay in the game.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36OK. Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:32:36 > 0:32:41to name as many Labour Party leaders who have not been prime minister

0:32:41 > 0:32:45as they could. Labour Party leaders who have not been prime minister.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Richard?- Yeah. Any elected leader of the Labour Party

0:32:48 > 0:32:51from 1945 all the way through to 2011, please,

0:32:51 > 0:32:55who's never been a prime minister. We won't accept deputies or stand-ins.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59Any elected leader of the Labour Party who has not been a prime minister.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Steve and Cathy, you go first this time.

0:33:03 > 0:33:08Um, well, do you know any? I think I know one.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10I think there was one in the 1960s.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13I think he died before there was an election.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15I think it was Hugh Gaitskell.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Hugh Gaitskell?- Yeah.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Richard and Ian?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22THEY WHISPER

0:33:22 > 0:33:25- No idea, to be honest.- Richard's not really hot on politics.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28I'm completely awful, so I leave it in your hands.

0:33:28 > 0:33:33The only one that I can think of, potentially, is Neil Kinnock.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36Might not be the best answer to give. We might be out,

0:33:36 > 0:33:40- but it's a safer bet. - Well, it's an answer you know,

0:33:40 > 0:33:44so you're going to say Neil Kinnock. So we have Hugh Gaitskell

0:33:44 > 0:33:48and we have Neil Kinnock. Steve and Cathy have gone with Hugh Gaitskell.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Very well done. It's right.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01I think this is an excellent answer, Steve. Down it goes.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03- Oh, look at that! Brilliant. - CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Very, very well done.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Two points. Now, Richard and Ian,

0:34:11 > 0:34:15you need to win this point if you're going to stay in the game.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Neil Kinnock. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Good luck.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Yes, it's right.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's going down.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30- 28. - APPLAUSE

0:34:34 > 0:34:38Well, I'm afraid two beats 28, which means, after only two questions,

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Steve and Cathy are through to the final two-nil. Richard?

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Richard and Ian, you came up against a man very much on form -

0:34:44 > 0:34:48Antwerp and Hugh Gaitskell. The best answer up there, actually.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50There's five in all. Let's take a look at all of them.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54There's Hugh Gaitskell on two, Michael Foot with 22.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Ed Miliband, of course. That would have scored you 23.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00John Smith, 27, and Kinnock the top answer there, 28.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Well done if you got all five of those.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair

0:35:05 > 0:35:09at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Richard and Ian.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12- We didn't give you what you wanted. You had some pop music.- Yeah.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15I don't think politics is my thing, though,

0:35:15 > 0:35:18and Olympics, well, it's sport, so again,

0:35:18 > 0:35:22out of my comfort zone, but at least we got two correct answers,

0:35:22 > 0:35:25- which is better than none. - When you're back next time,

0:35:25 > 0:35:27what would you like to see come up then?

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Er, Australian soaps, to be honest.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33LAUGHTER

0:35:33 > 0:35:36I'd probably nail it, to be fair. Ian, what about you?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- I don't know. Maybe British soaps? - LAUGHTER

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Next time let's hope you'll go all the way through to the final,

0:35:42 > 0:35:46but meanwhile, thanks for playing. Great contestants.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49But for Steve and Cathy, it's time for our final,

0:35:49 > 0:35:53and the chance to win our jackpot of £5,250.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Congratulations, Steve and Cathy. You've fought off the competition

0:36:03 > 0:36:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so well done.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:13 > 0:36:18At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,250.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20AUDIENCE CHEERS

0:36:21 > 0:36:24The rules are very simple. To win that money,

0:36:24 > 0:36:28all you have to do is find an answer none of our 100 people thought of.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30We've had one pointless answer today.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33Find one more and you will go home with that money.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36First you've got to choose a category from these three options.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Well...- The first one's out. - It won't be classical music.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49It's not our best subject.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Do you know a lot about fashion? I don't know.- Not really.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Pop legends? - I think it has to be pop legends.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Pop legends it is. OK. Let's find out what the question is.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:37:03 > 0:37:09to name as many Beatles solo UK top-40 singles

0:37:09 > 0:37:11as they could. Richard?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Yeah. Any single that reached the UK top 40

0:37:13 > 0:37:17for which either John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison

0:37:17 > 0:37:22or Ringo Starr received a solo credit, not duets or groups they were in.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Just any solo single by a former Beatle, please,

0:37:25 > 0:37:29that reached the UK top 40, and that's prior to April 2011.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36All you need to win that £5,250 jackpot

0:37:36 > 0:37:39is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Well, do the Paul McCartney ones first.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47That awful Frog Chorus.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Would that have gone in the top 40? - Probably, yeah.

0:37:50 > 0:37:55- I think that was number one.- Right. - Um, any more Paul McCartney ones?

0:37:57 > 0:38:00- I can't think of any. - What about that, um, film he did?

0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Broadway, or...- Oh, yeah. I can't think of any songs from there.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08- I know a couple of John Lennon ones. - Right.- Mind Games.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Was that one?- Yeah.- One of his?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12What about, um...

0:38:12 > 0:38:14George Harrison?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17George Harrison had... What was that big hit he had?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- My Sweet Lord. - My Sweet Lord. Shall we go for that?

0:38:20 > 0:38:23I don't know if that'll be pointless.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26What about... Are there any more John Lennon ones?

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Um...

0:38:31 > 0:38:35Mother. Was that one of his? Would that have been a hit?

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Try it.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Five seconds.- Try that one?- Try it.

0:38:43 > 0:38:48OK, your time is up. We were looking for solo top-40 hits

0:38:48 > 0:38:50released by ex-members of the Beatles.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53I now need your three answers.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56What's the first John Lennon one we'll go for?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Is it...- Mind Games.- Mind Games.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Mind Games. - I think he did one called Mother.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Mother.- And I think we'll go for...

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- George Harrison's. - My Sweet Lord by George Harrison.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10My Sweet Lord. OK, there are your three answers.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Of those three, which do you think is the best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Mother.- I think Mother. - OK. We'll put Mother last.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21- And which is your least likely? - I think My Sweet Lord, is it?

0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Yeah.- OK. So, My Sweet Lord, Mind Games, Mother.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Yeah.- OK. We'll put them up in that order,

0:39:27 > 0:39:29and here they are.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36All the Ms.

0:39:36 > 0:39:41OK, so we were looking for ex-Beatles solo top-40 singles.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44You said this was your least confident answer.

0:39:44 > 0:39:50You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £5,250 jackpot.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54Let's see how many people said My Sweet Lord.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57This has to be right, and it has to be pointless.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00Good luck.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Very promising start. OK, this is your last shot at the jackpot.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09£5,250. If this goes down to zero,

0:40:09 > 0:40:12you'll be leaving with that money immediately.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Oh!

0:40:14 > 0:40:1613.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Unfortunately that's not a pointless answer.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24You knew it wasn't. You put that one first.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26It's looking quite good for the other two.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30- It might be.- You only have two more chances to win that jackpot.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33£5,250. What would you do with that?

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Oh, nice holiday with the kids.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Well, you've got... There's a country you want to go back to.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43Yeah. I was born in Canada, and I've never been back.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Never been back? - Never, since I was three.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48- I'd love to go back.- You must.

0:40:48 > 0:40:53Very best of luck. We are looking for Beatles solo top-40 hits.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Your next answer was Mind Games.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Mind Games. This has to be correct, and it has to be pointless.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04Mind Games. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:41:09 > 0:41:11OK, it's right. It's right.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13That was the first thing.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16The second is, it has to go down to zero.

0:41:16 > 0:41:21£5,250 riding on this. Down to single figures.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23- Oh! - CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:41:23 > 0:41:26You are off to Canada!

0:41:26 > 0:41:30Oh, well done. That's brilliant. Oh, that's superb.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Well done, you. Brilliant!

0:41:32 > 0:41:35CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Oh, that's fantastic!

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well done!

0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Flabbergasted!- Oh, congratulations!

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, you did it, with your second answer, as well.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50You found that brilliant pointless answer,

0:41:50 > 0:41:54which means you go home with our jackpot of £5,250.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56CHEERING

0:41:59 > 0:42:03That's just wonderful. Well, off you go to Canada,

0:42:03 > 0:42:06with all our best wishes, and listening to Mind Games

0:42:06 > 0:42:10all the way, I should think. Richard, what about that?

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Richly deserved. You barely put a foot wrong all show.

0:42:12 > 0:42:17It was a massive number-26 hit in 1973, Mind Games.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19If we'd had to go to your third answer, Mother,

0:42:19 > 0:42:22you wouldn't have won. It wasn't a UK hit at all,

0:42:22 > 0:42:26only in the States. So Mind Games was the perfect answer.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28There's lots of pointless answers here,

0:42:28 > 0:42:30so people at home will have done well as well.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34Let's take a look. Number one in the UK and the US,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36(Just Like) Starting Over, by John Lennon.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40Bangla-Desh, released by George Harrison after his charity concert.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44Coming Up, Paul McCartney, number one in the States.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47No More Lonely Nights from Give My Regards To Broad Street.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51Nobody Told Me, John Lennon. Once Upon A Long Ago,

0:42:51 > 0:42:54that was also a pointless answer.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57We All Stand Together, which is the Frog Chorus.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Oh, is that what it... - Was a pointless answer.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02When We Was Fab, which was George Harrison,

0:43:02 > 0:43:04and Wonderful Christmastime, Paul McCartney,

0:43:04 > 0:43:08also pointless, so some big pointless answers. I hope you got one at home.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Wow! Well, thanks once again to our winning players,

0:43:12 > 0:43:16Steve and Cathy, who go away with today's jackpot of £5,250.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18Well done!

0:43:18 > 0:43:21CHEERING / APPLAUSE

0:43:22 > 0:43:26Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
