0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:27 > 0:00:31the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet the players.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE

0:00:36 > 0:00:41Welcome, Paul and Ian. You are our first pair on the show. How do you know each other?

0:00:41 > 0:00:46We're brothers. Ian's the baby of the family, I'm the oldest brother, and we have two sisters in between.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- So you're the bookends. - Yes.- The bookends of the family.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Ian, what do you do? - I work in IT support.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57So it's my job to stop people throwing their computers out of the window in frustration.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02- Riding to their rescue.- Absolutely. - Being carried aloft on people's shoulders as you leave.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07- And if things go wrong, I get the blame.- And then you come back in. Paul, how about you?

0:01:07 > 0:01:12I now work for a very small charity in Liverpool. Prior to that, I was a locksmith.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17- I spent five and a half years working in Kazakhstan. - Cracking locks in Kazakhstan.- I was.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Safes, as well. - What about that? Fantastic. - It was a great experience.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24What do you like to do, Ian? What are your hobbies?

0:01:24 > 0:01:28I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I like to do things to get the old heart racing.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32A bit of fast go-kart racing, I've done a tandem freefall jump, that's the best thing so far.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- How about you, Paul? - I like to try to play golf.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Many years back, I used to do jujitsu and I used to teach jujitsu.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Really?- I taught my daughters, as well.- Wow.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Very best of luck to you. Great to have you here. Next we welcome Hannah and Jess.

0:01:47 > 0:01:52- How do you two know each other?- We met on our first day in our halls of residence at university in Bristol

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- and we've lived together ever since. - Aww!

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Is that this year or last year or several years ago?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- This is our third year. - Oh, well done! Very good!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Are you a good team? - Yes, definitely.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08We work together quite a lot. We bake cakes together often.

0:02:08 > 0:02:14- Do you? - Yeah. We know how we work.- Yeah. We bake some interesting cakes.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19- What kind of cakes do you make? - We've made a roast chicken cake, a Dick Van Dyke cake.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- We've all done that.- Naturally.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25You made a Dick Van Dyke cake?

0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Er, which of the great Van Dyke roles was he in? - Oh, Diagnosis Murder.

0:02:30 > 0:02:36- Very good. Not the chim-chimney or the...- No.- Very interesting.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Hannah, what would you like to see come up this afternoon? - My degree is in history

0:02:41 > 0:02:48- so something... - Anything but history, then.- Well, certain aspects of history.- OK.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53You've staked your claim to history now, so be careful.

0:02:53 > 0:02:59- Jess, how about you? - I do an arts degree, so I suppose arts is the answer I should say.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04- Maybe TV and film would be great. - TV and film. Best of luck. Lovely having you here.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07And next we welcome back Richard and Ian. You were on the show last time.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. This is your last chance. Tell us about last time.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Well, we got to the final head-to-head round.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18The final head-to-head round?

0:03:18 > 0:03:24We like to call it the final head-to-head cos it makes us a little bit closer to that prize.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27But today, when you're going to storm through to the final,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30what's going to help you on your way?

0:03:30 > 0:03:35Anything to do with television or movies, perhaps.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Maybe pop music again, cos we seemed to do quite well at that,

0:03:38 > 0:03:43- although I suspect it won't come up today.- It may not. Ian, what do you like to do?

0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Well, I've lately started to turn my hand to a bit of gardening. - Really?- Yeah.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- It's weirdly addictive, isn't it? - Yeah. You get started and see where you can go.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Absolutely. How about you, Richard?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59As I explained on the previous show, I dance for a drag queen,

0:03:59 > 0:04:04so I kind of like dancing and doing anything creative and performancey, really.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Well...- I can teach you a few moves if you want.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- You could if you like, yeah. We've got time, haven't we? - Yeah, absolutely.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16What am I talking about? No! Never in a million years!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Erm, yeah, nice try.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Best of luck to the pair of you. It's great to have you back.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25And finally we've got Joe and Hazel. How do you know each other?

0:04:25 > 0:04:30I've never met him before in my life! He's my husband.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Very good.- Eight years.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Eight years. Very good. What do you do, Joe?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Well, I'm retired now. At 78, I don't work.

0:04:39 > 0:04:45But I've been three times black belt and I used to be on London transport.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- The resident black belt on London transport? - I used to teach on London transport.

0:04:49 > 0:04:55Did you? I didn't know they were taught... What particular martial art were you teaching?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Judo, Karate and Aikido.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Paul, fancy a fight?- No thank you.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05I'd rather tell jokes than make anybody hurt.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Hazel, what do you do?- Well, I'm just an ordinary housewife now.

0:05:09 > 0:05:17- What did you do?- Well, I used to be a machinist and I was a cleaner in the later years, and school dinners.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Very good indeed. What would you like to see come up today?

0:05:20 > 0:05:25Ooh, movies with the great hunks, like John Wayne and Gregory Peck and all that.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28And animals. That's my thing.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Movies with hunks in and animals. - Mm.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- OK. Joe, what would you like to see come up? - Music, sport, anything like that.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's lovely to have you here. Very best of luck.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43We'll find out more about all of you later. Only one person left to introduce.

0:05:43 > 0:05:49He remains oblivious to the obvious, but he's always open to the obscure. He is my Pointless friend, Richard.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Hiya. APPLAUSE

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you, Richard.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Only one returning pair, Richard and Ian. They did well last time.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06This is their last chance to make it to the final.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Everybody's asked for a film question, I think,

0:06:09 > 0:06:13and you'll be very pleased in round one, it is a film question.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Maybe not one of the legends you're looking for, Hazel.- Oh, dear.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well, thank you very much, Richard.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24We put all our questions to 100 people before the show. We want the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:06:24 > 0:06:30For a chance to win our jackpot, all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:06:37 > 0:06:44Steve and Kathy won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000. There it is.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE

0:06:56 > 0:07:00In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:07:00 > 0:07:06The team with highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. An incorrect answer will score

0:07:06 > 0:07:09the maximum of 100 points. Try to avoid those.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Our first category this afternoon is...Movie Stars.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Movie Stars. Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:07:30 > 0:07:33as many Demi Moore films,

0:07:33 > 0:07:38or "Duh-mee" Moore films, as some people like to say. Richard.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Yes, not John Wayne. We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release

0:07:42 > 0:07:47for which Demi Moore has received an acting credit prior to April 2011.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51We won't accept short films, TV films, things just released at festivals.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Any Demi Moore film prior to April 2011, please.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58She has made a lot of pointless films.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER

0:08:00 > 0:08:06Thank you very much, Richard. Paul and Ian, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.

0:08:06 > 0:08:11So Ian, do you say "Dem-ee" Moore or "Duh-mee" Moore?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I say "Dem-ee". - Yeah, I'm with you there.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17It's short for Demitria, so I don't know if that helps us one way or another.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Demi Moore films, Ian. - LAUGHTER

0:08:21 > 0:08:26- I'd like to give you a long list of obscure films. - That would be wrong...

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Or say I've got a long list in my head, but unfortunately, I don't.

0:08:29 > 0:08:35Erm... I can at least, hopefully, give you a correct answer, which won't be 100 points.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38So I'm going to plump for Ghost.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Ghost. What do you think, Paul?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think it's going to be right but it's going to be high.

0:08:43 > 0:08:49Right but high. Well, better than wrong and very high. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Let's see if Ghost is right, and if it is, how many people said it. Ghost.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01APPLAUSE

0:09:01 > 0:09:04There we are. That scores you 70. 70 points for Ghost. Richard.

0:09:04 > 0:09:11Yeah, a very big score. From 1990. Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar, best supporting actress, in that film.

0:09:11 > 0:09:17OK. Jess, what is the most obscure Demi Moore film you can... Have you ever made a Demi Moore cake?

0:09:17 > 0:09:21No. Probably because I don't really know who she is.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26- SHE LAUGHS - And I would only have said one answer, which would've been Ghost.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Ah. Tactics, you see, Ian. I see what you've done there.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Yeah. Erm... I'm just going to have to take a complete guess

0:09:35 > 0:09:38and go for a completely random film.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm going to go for Flashdance.

0:09:40 > 0:09:46Is Flashdance right? And if it is, how many people said it? Best of luck, Jess.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Ohh! Unfortunately, Demi Moore is not in Flashdance,

0:09:53 > 0:09:56which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Bad luck. Richard. - Sorry, Jess. Tough start.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Jennifer Beals is the lead in Flashdance. Demi Moore is nowhere to be seen.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06OK, then, Richard.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10What is the most obscure Demi Moore film you can think of?

0:10:10 > 0:10:14I only know one Demi Moore film. It is completely obscure

0:10:14 > 0:10:17because it is a Disney film.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19It would've been released at the cinema

0:10:19 > 0:10:25and I believe Demi Moore did the voice of Esmeralda

0:10:25 > 0:10:29in Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

0:10:29 > 0:10:35- The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Or "No-tra Dame" as they like to call it.- Yes.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40OK. You're hoping to score as few points as you possibly can with Hunchback Of Notre Dame

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Let's see if that's right. That could be a brilliant answer. If it is, how many people said it?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Very well done indeed! That's a fabulous answer! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Well done, Richard, that's pointless.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00It adds £250 to today's jackpot,

0:11:00 > 0:11:04taking the total up to £1,250, and it scores you nothing.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Very, very well done indeed. Richard.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11Yeah, well played. Brilliant start. From 1996, voiced Esmeralda.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15- That's a good answer. - Great answer. Very well done indeed.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Hazel, we come to you. Not John Wayne, not Gregory Peck, but Demi Moore.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Erm, I can think of one. GI Jane.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27GI Jane. You're hoping to score as few points as you can with GI Jane.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32Let's see if that's correct, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said GI Jane.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's correct!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Down it goes. Look at that! 28, Hazel!

0:11:40 > 0:11:46- APPLAUSE - That's a great answer. 28 for GI Jane. Richard.

0:11:46 > 0:11:51Well done, Hazel. From 1997. She won the Golden Raspberry for worst actress in that film.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54It's like the anti-Oscars, the Golden Raspberries.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59We're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores. Richard and Ian, look at that!

0:11:59 > 0:12:04A brilliant pointless answer. Very, very low score there of nothing.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Then up to 28 for Hazel and Joe. Then up to 70 for Ian and Paul.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12And Jess and Hannah, I'm afraid, on 100.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Bad luck. Luckily, Hannah, I think you know masses about Demi Moore,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20so you're going to be able to dig yourselves out of that hole in the next pass.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Second players, take your places at the podium.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30OK, we are looking for Demi Moore films.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35Joe, how well did Hazel do? 28. What are you thinking, Joe? Are you a fan of Demi Moore?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38I don't know any Demi Moore films at all,

0:12:38 > 0:12:44but at the same time, I have a feeling she might have had a voiceover in Shrek.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49OK, you're going to say Shrek. The high scorers are Hannah and Jess on 100 points.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54If you can score 71 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Shrek. There's your red line. Below that, through to the next round.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:13:04 > 0:13:10Bad luck, Joe. That is an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14That takes your total up to 128. Not out of the game yet.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18You may yet be through to the next round, but we'll have to see. Richard.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Sorry, Joe. Good guess. Cameron Diaz is the main female voice in the Shrek movies.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26OK. Now then, Ian, how well did Richard do? That's amazing.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28- He did very well.- A pointless answer.- I'm quite pleased.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32The good news is, you're through to the next round. Even if you score 100,

0:13:32 > 0:13:35you'll never overtake Joe and Hazel on 128.

0:13:35 > 0:13:41But, bearing that in mind, maybe you can find a really obscure Demi Moore film.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44There's only one I can think of. I haven't seen it,

0:13:44 > 0:13:48so she might not even be in it, but I'm going to give it a whirl. Striptease.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Striptease.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yeah, that rings a bell. I think she might be in that.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- LAUGHTER - She might be. I don't know.

0:13:57 > 0:14:03Anyway, there's no red line for you. You're through come what may.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Let's see if Striptease is right, and if it is, how many people said Striptease.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Yes, she is in that!

0:14:13 > 0:14:16- 27. Very well done. - APPLAUSE

0:14:16 > 0:14:2127 for Striptease. Takes your total up to 27. Richard.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Weird. Both of you have heard of it, neither of you have seen it.

0:14:24 > 0:14:29- You haven't...- I haven't seen it, no. - No, of course you haven't. From 1996.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32She also won a Golden Raspberry for that, worst actress.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- She must have a whole punnet of those!- Yeah.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Blimey. Very well done.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43Now then, Hannah. This is where the game is played out.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46You are on 100 points, Joe and Hazel are on 128.

0:14:46 > 0:14:52If you can score 27 or less, which I think you can, you are through to the next round.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Striptease is the only film I could think of.- Oh, no!

0:14:55 > 0:14:59So I'm in Jess's boat, as well. I can't think of anything,

0:14:59 > 0:15:03so I'm going to say a film we saw a few days ago and it had lots of celebrities in,

0:15:03 > 0:15:08so she might have been in it, as well. How To Lose Friends And Alienate People.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12I have absolutely no idea if she's in it or not, but it's a film.

0:15:12 > 0:15:17How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, the Toby Young film. Well, here's your red line.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Below that, through to the next round.

0:15:20 > 0:15:26Let's see if How To Lose Friends And Alienate People is right,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29and if it is, how many people said it. Good luck, Hannah.

0:15:30 > 0:15:35Ohh, bad luck. Bad luck. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer

0:15:35 > 0:15:40which means you score the maximum of 100 points, which takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45- I'm sorry. Richard.- Yeah, that's how to lose Pointless and alienate Jess.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49It is a film. It is a film. Kirsten Dunst is in it,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Gillian Anderson, but no Demi Moore. Sorry.- Hm.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58Now then, Paul, the good news is, you are through to the next round whatever happens.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Well, I also haven't seen Striptease.- Right.

0:16:02 > 0:16:07- LAUGHTER - All the answers have gone that I was going to use,

0:16:07 > 0:16:12so because I have nothing to lose, I'm going to go for another obscure one which I think won a Raspberry,

0:16:12 > 0:16:15even by the sounds of the title, and it was called Tank Girl.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20- Tank Girl. - I've no idea if she was the star, but it was a female lead in that.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Do you think she was in it? - There was a female star in it that sunk without a trace

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- so I'm hoping it was Demi Moore. - Tank Girl. OK, let's see if it's right. Tank Girl.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33As I say, you're through to the next round whatever happens. There's no red line.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Let's see if Tank Girl's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Bad luck. An incorrect answer, but it hardly matters.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45That scores you 100, takes your total up to 170. You are through to the next round.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49Yeah, good risk to take, Paul. It's Naomi Watts and Lori Petty.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52No Demi Moore, though.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56But worth a go. Let's look at all the pointless answers. There's quite a few.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00There's Bobby, which was the last hours of Bobby Kennedy.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Deconstructing Harry, the Woody Allen film.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Happy Tears, that's pointless.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08No Small Affair, Nothing But Trouble, Now And Then.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13One Crazy Summer. The Butcher's Wife, that's another Golden Raspberry nomination.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15There's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, very good answer.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Let's take a look at that most popular answers.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Striptease. Nobody's seen it.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27- No. - But a lot of people have heard of it. She got paid 12 million for that.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30The biggest ever fee to an actress at the time. Would've scored you 27.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35There's GI Jane that we had from Hazel. 28.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39And Ghost, right at the top with 70. Way ahead.

0:17:39 > 0:17:45Thanks, Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, Hannah and Jess!

0:17:45 > 0:17:50Oh, dear! That's not right! I was hoping we'd all get on really well and you'd make us a cake.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55Maybe if we do better next time, we'll see what we can do.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Very good! Yeah! So, cakes. It's going to be cakes next time.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04But in the meantime, thank you very much for playing. You've been excellent.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07APPLAUSE

0:18:07 > 0:18:10For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head

0:18:18 > 0:18:21so one of the team will leave us at the end of this round.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Our category is...Travel.

0:18:24 > 0:18:31Decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second. Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37OK, our round two question this afternoon concerns...

0:18:40 > 0:18:43European landmarks and their cities. Richard.

0:18:43 > 0:18:49We'll show you six European landmarks on each pass. We asked 100 people which city they are in.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer scores 100 points.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58There'll be 12 landmarks in all, 12 European cities to guess.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03Thanks, Richard. We're looking for the cities in which these landmarks are located.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05European cities. And we have got...

0:19:22 > 0:19:26There are six landmarks, Ian.

0:19:26 > 0:19:32I need you to find a nice obscure one and locate it in a European city for me.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, being first, I'm a bit wary of taking too much of a chance.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38I might leave that to Paul.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42So I think I'll go for a safe one. It's a toss up between two.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48I'm going to go for, it's probably the top answer, but Westminster Abbey, London.

0:19:48 > 0:19:54Westminster Abbey, London. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Ooh! - APPLAUSE

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Well, it's right, Ian, but it scores you 91 points.

0:20:05 > 0:20:12- Westminster Abbey, Richard.- Yeah, that's really playing it safe. It is in London. Nine people didn't know.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Richard, we come to you.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19We're looking for the European cities in which these landmarks are to be found.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23OK, there's only one other up there that I know,

0:20:23 > 0:20:28but again, I think it's one of the ones a lot of people will know.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Hopefully it'll score lower than 91,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35but I'm going to go with the Parthenon being in Athens.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38The Parthenon, Athens, you are saying.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that. The Parthenon, Athens.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- 56. - APPLAUSE

0:20:50 > 0:20:5356 for the Parthenon being in Athens. Richard.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58Yeah, a better score. Work started on the Parthenon in 447BC.

0:20:58 > 0:21:04Very good. Thank you very much. Joe, we come to you. You're the last person to have this selection.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- I've been to most of them.- You've been to all of them?- Most of them.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Since I can't help anybody else,

0:21:10 > 0:21:14I think Checkpoint Charlie is in Berlin

0:21:14 > 0:21:16and the Spanish Steps are in Paris.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20And that's the one I'll go for. Spanish Steps.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Spanish Steps, Paris. Let's see if that's right,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32Oooh! Bad luck, Joe!

0:21:32 > 0:21:37You're going to kick yourself in a second. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer

0:21:37 > 0:21:41so you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Sorry, Joe, it's Rome.- Rome!- Rome is the Spanish Steps, I'm afraid.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49Would've scored you a fairly low 36 points. Perhaps you should've gone for Checkpoint Charlie.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54That was Berlin. Would've scored you 62 points, but it's better than 100.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56St Basil's Cathedral. Alexander, do you know that?

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- That is Moscow, isn't it? - Yeah. Would've scored you 18 points.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02And the Alhambra is the best answer on the board.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Very well done if you said Granada in Spain.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Would've scored you nine points. Best answer there.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13OK. Thank you, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores as we're halfway through the round.

0:22:13 > 0:22:1756, Richard and Ian. Who'd have thought? That's the lowest score of the round

0:22:17 > 0:22:20so you are looking very strong for the head-to-head.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Then up to 91 for Ian and Paul.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Then 100, bad luck, Joe.

0:22:25 > 0:22:30So Hazel, you'll have to find a really good low-scoring answer in the next pass

0:22:30 > 0:22:35to make it to the head-to-head. We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41OK, we'll put six more landmarks on the board and here they come.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43We have got...

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Remember, we're looking for the European cities in which these landmarks are to be found

0:23:06 > 0:23:10and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Hazel, what do you think of that list?

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Dreadful.- Really? Have you been to any of those places? - No, unfortunately.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Have you heard of any of those places?- I know of one.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24I think the Spanish Riding School is in Spain.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Madrid? I think.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31- I'll go with that. - Spanish Riding School in Madrid.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I may as well take a chance.

0:23:33 > 0:23:39OK. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Spanish Riding School, Madrid.

0:23:41 > 0:23:47Bad luck, Hazel. Well, you did the right thing in taking a chance

0:23:47 > 0:23:51but I'm afraid it was a wrong answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

0:23:51 > 0:23:54taking your total up to an unbeatable 200. Richard.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Sorry, Joe and Hazel. Undone by the Spanish Steps and Spanish Riding School.

0:23:58 > 0:24:04- I won't give you the correct answer in case Ian or Paul want to guess the same one.- OK, Ian.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08We're looking for the European cities in which these landmarks are to be found.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11You are through to the head-to-head whatever happens.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Tell us what you're going to pick on that board.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19There's only one that I know definite where it is,

0:24:19 > 0:24:23but I've never been to it. I've never been on any of them.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26So I should probably still play safe and go for Eiffel Tower in Paris.

0:24:26 > 0:24:32Eiffel Tower, Paris. OK. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Ohh! - APPLAUSE

0:24:36 > 0:24:40The scores you 95, taking your total up to 151. Richard.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Yeah, big score. A very iconic landmark.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Hitler ordered it to be taken down and his general in Paris disobeyed him, thankfully.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Paul, 91 is your score. Even if you score 100 points,

0:24:52 > 0:24:58you will not overtake Hazel and Joe on 200. You're through to the next round. Talk us through this board.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Fill in the gaps. - I think I know two of them.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04I'm not sure if the Winter Palace might be Versailles.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08The Holyrood Palace I think is in Ireland.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11The only other one I know, which I was going to go for anyway,

0:25:11 > 0:25:15was the Spanish Riding School which I think is in Vienna.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22Let's see. Is that right? If it is, how many people said Spanish Riding School, Vienna?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Course it is. There it is.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Down it comes. 23! A great score!

0:25:30 > 0:25:33- APPLAUSE - Well played, Paul. 23 for that.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37114 is your total. You are through to the head-to-head. Richard.

0:25:37 > 0:25:42Well done, Paul. The Spanish part is because that's where the horses came from in the riding school.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46Let's take a look at the rest, see if anybody at home got all of them.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50Holyrood Palace, not in Ireland, it's in Edinburgh. Would've score 57.

0:25:50 > 0:25:55The Winter Palace is in St Petersburg. 14.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Now the home of the Hermitage Museum. It's a very beautiful place.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02The Doge's Palace in Venice. Would've scored you 32.

0:26:02 > 0:26:07And the best answer on the board, very well done if you got Gellert Baths, they're in Budapest.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Would've scored you three points.

0:26:09 > 0:26:15Thanks, Richard. So at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Joe and Hazel.

0:26:15 > 0:26:21Bad luck. And Joe, you gave that answer with such confidence. Hazel, I'm so sorry.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24We haven't served you very well. It was a very hard list.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27It happens. I didn't know it, so it was just a chance I took.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32- I knew Paris and the Eiffel Tower, but I had to go for it, so I went for it.- Quite right.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Quite right. You did the right thing.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38We will see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41APPLAUSE

0:26:41 > 0:26:46But for the remaining two pairs, things get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:26:51 > 0:26:56Very well done, Richard and Ian, Paul and Ian, you've made it through to the head-to-head.

0:26:56 > 0:27:03Only one pair can make it to today's final and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:06 > 0:27:09You'll go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:27:09 > 0:27:14For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer and you are now allowed to confer.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Just come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23The first pair to get to the best of three will play for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33OK, here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:27:33 > 0:27:41to name as many members of the Bronte family as they could. Members of the Bronte family. Richard.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45We're looking for the names of any of the six children of Patrick Bronte,

0:27:45 > 0:27:50the 18th century clergyman. Any of the six famous Bronte brothers and sisters.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54OK. Richard and Ian, because you've played best so far, you get to go first.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57We're looking for members of the Bronte family.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- OK.- OK, we can only think of two,

0:28:05 > 0:28:09but we'll go with the one that's least likely to be known,

0:28:09 > 0:28:12which is Charlotte Bronte.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17- Charlotte Bronte.- Yes. - OK, Charlotte Bronte. Paul and Ian.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21We also can only think of two, I'm afraid, Charlotte being one of them,

0:28:21 > 0:28:24and the other one we're going to go for is Emily Bronte.

0:28:24 > 0:28:29Emily. OK. We have Charlotte and we have Emily in that order.

0:28:29 > 0:28:35Richard and Ian went with Charlotte. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Charlotte.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's right. Ooh, look at that.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39- 83. - APPLAUSE

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Ooh. Higher than you were expecting.- Mm.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49That's quite punishing, isn't it? 83 for Charlotte Bronte.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53Paul and Ian have gone for Emily Bronte. Let's see if that's right,

0:28:53 > 0:28:56and if it is, how many people said Emily Bronte.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01- It's right. Ooh. - APPLAUSE

0:29:04 > 0:29:0792 for Emily Bronte, 82 for Charlotte beats it.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11So after the first question, Richard and Ian are up one-nil. Richard.

0:29:11 > 0:29:16As I say, six answers in all. Four fairly well-known, two more obscure ones.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20Let's look at all of them. The bottom two both died of TB.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Elizabeth was six, Maria was seven.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Then there's Branwell Bronte with 17.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31His real name was Patrick, but he was called Branwell, which was his mother's maiden name.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Anne Bronte, 51. Would've won the points.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37Charlotte Bronte with 83 and Emily Bronte with 92.

0:29:37 > 0:29:42Wrote Wuthering Heights, of course, and then died the following year, aged just 30.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Thank you, Richard. Here is your second question.

0:29:45 > 0:29:50Paul and Ian, you have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:29:52 > 0:29:58- as many bones mentioned in the song Dem Bones. - LAUGHTER

0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Richard.- Simply any of the bones of the body mentioned in the spiritual song for children

0:30:03 > 0:30:07written by James Weldon Johnson, please. Any bones in Dem Bones.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13OK, thank you, Richard. Paul and Ian, you get to go first this time.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19OK, Paul. Paul and Ian.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23OK, we know lots of bones in the body that are hopefully mentioned in the song,

0:30:23 > 0:30:27I'm trying to sing through it in my head. We'll go for knee bone.

0:30:27 > 0:30:32OK, we have knee bone from Paul and Ian. Richard and Ian.

0:30:32 > 0:30:37To be honest, I've never heard the song at all and neither has Ian,

0:30:37 > 0:30:40so it'll be a complete stab in the dark.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42I'm going on...

0:30:42 > 0:30:49Well, we're going to go on previous songs that mention dancing and movement

0:30:49 > 0:30:52and we're going to go for spine.

0:30:53 > 0:30:58Because people say, "Shivers down the spine" and it's a bone

0:30:58 > 0:31:02and if it's quite dancey, it might have a spine in there somewhere.

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Good luck. Paul and Ian, you have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Richard and Ian are going to submit spine.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13So we have knee from Paul and Ian and spine from Richard and Ian.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Paul and Ian, knee. Is that right? How many people said it?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- 60. - APPLAUSE

0:31:25 > 0:31:2760 for the knee bone.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Richard and Ian have gone for spine.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said spine.

0:31:36 > 0:31:42Bad luck! Spine is in the song, but it's backbone.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- It's the same thing!- I know, but it's in the song. It's backbone.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49So that means, after the second question,

0:31:49 > 0:31:53Paul and Ian are now level with Richard and Ian, one-all.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Richard.- You can stop singing Dem Bones at home now.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00Let's a look at all the answers. Toe bone is the best answer, 15.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Shoulder, 17. Head, 23. Neck and back, both 27.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Foot, 31.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11Ankle, 33. This is like the beginning of a doctor's exam, isn't it?

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Leg, 40. Hip, 45. Knee, 60. And thigh right at the top with 81.

0:32:15 > 0:32:20- Have you really never heard Dem Bones?- Never.- Ever, ever? - Can you sing it for us?- No!

0:32:20 > 0:32:23- LAUGHTER - Anyway, here's your third question.

0:32:23 > 0:32:28Whoever wins this question will be through to the final and will be playing for that jackpot.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:32:31 > 0:32:36England footballers named Peter or Paul as they could.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38England footballers named Peter or Paul. Richard.

0:32:38 > 0:32:43Specifically, England footballers named Peter or Paul since 1980 through to 2010

0:32:43 > 0:32:48who've been in a squad for a European Championship or a World Cup, please.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK. Richard and Ian, you get to start again this time.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56THEY WHISPER

0:32:56 > 0:32:59OK. We're going to go for Peter Beardsley.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02OK, Peter Beardsley you are saying.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Er, Paul and Ian?

0:33:05 > 0:33:09Well, I'm going to go for a footballer who played for my home team.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12- I'm going to go for Peter Reid. - Peter Reid.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15We have Peter Beardsley and Peter Reid.

0:33:15 > 0:33:21Very good. In the order they were given, Beardsley first, from Richard and Ian. Let's see if it's right,

0:33:21 > 0:33:24and if it is, how many people said it. Peter Beardsley.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Very good. - APPLAUSE

0:33:34 > 0:33:3831 for Peter Beardsley.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Paul and Ian are going for Peter Reid. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Peter Reid.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47If this goes lower than 31, you are through to the jackpot final.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's right.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Down it goes.

0:33:53 > 0:33:59Yes, you've done it, you're through. Very well done indeed, Paul and Ian.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Five for Peter Reid which beats the 31 for Peter Beardsley.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06So after three questions, Paul and Ian are through to the final, 2-1. Richard.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11Well played, Paul and Ian. There were four answers that would have beaten Peter Reid.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Well done if you got any of these at home. Let's take a look.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Paul Merson, one point, the Arsenal player.

0:34:16 > 0:34:21Peter Withe of Aston Villa would've scored you two, as would Paul Mariner, the Ipswich player.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Peter Reid, five. Paul Robinson, the goalie, also on five.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Paul Parker on 19, the Man United defender.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Paul Ince on 25. There's Peter Beardsley on 31.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Paul Scholes, 39. Peter Crouch, 40.

0:34:33 > 0:34:39Peter Shilton, 46. And right at the top, Gazza, Paul Gascoigne with 60.

0:34:39 > 0:34:43Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,

0:34:43 > 0:34:46I'm sorry, Richard and Ian, it's the end of the road for you.

0:34:46 > 0:34:52- Could've guaranteed a football question would get us knocked out. - You did very well, Peter Beardsley.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55- That's a very good Peter. - We did well enough.- You did well.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58You were at least halfway down the table with that.

0:34:58 > 0:35:03- You made it to the head-to-head last time, and again this time.- I know.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- We always miss out, Paul, at that last hurdle, every time.- Oh, dear.

0:35:07 > 0:35:12Well, you've done brilliantly and you've been excellent contestants. Thanks for playing, Ian and Richard.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15- APPLAUSE - Best of luck.- Hard luck, mate.

0:35:15 > 0:35:21But for Paul and Ian, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £1,250.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:26 > 0:35:30Well, congratulations, Paul and Ian. You've fought off all the competition

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:38 > 0:35:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:40 > 0:35:45At the end of today's show, that jackpot stands at £1,250.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48APPLAUSE

0:35:48 > 0:35:52The rules are very simple. To win that money, you need a pointless answer,

0:35:52 > 0:35:54that's an answer none of our 100 people gave.

0:35:54 > 0:35:59We've had one pointless answer today. You only need one more now and you go home with that money.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Firstly, you've got to choose a category from these three options.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13Classical Music, Horse Racing, Education.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16We probably won't have Classical Music.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20We have got a history of horse racing in the family. Our dad was a jockey.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24Er, Education, it's been a while since I've been in education.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26I'd be tempted to plump for Horse Racing.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30Yeah, I think because of the family link there, we'll plump for Horse Racing.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35OK, Horse Racing it is. Let's find out what the question is. What would you like the question to be?

0:36:35 > 0:36:38What's your specialist area in horse racing?

0:36:38 > 0:36:43- Race courses in the UK, maybe. Famous jockeys.- Yeah.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48OK. Good luck. Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:36:48 > 0:36:54as many Grand National winning jockeys as they could. Grand National winning jockeys. Richard.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57We're looking for any jockey who's won the Aintree Grand National

0:36:57 > 0:37:01from 1980 through to the 2011 race, please.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:06 > 0:37:11All you need to win that £1,250 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19- Who's the guy who had cancer? - Er, Bob Champion.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Bob Champion is going to be a big answer.- Ruby Walsh, maybe.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Jonjo O'Neill. - Tony McCoy has just won it.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29- He chased it for years. Tony McCoy would be a good one. - We need an old one.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Bob Champion.- Yeah.

0:37:31 > 0:37:36- So, Jonjo O'Neill?- He was a trainer. - He was a jockey first, wasn't he? - Yeah.

0:37:36 > 0:37:40John Francome. John Francome. John Francome.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- John Francome.- John Francome, yes.- Bob Champion.- Yeah.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Peter Scudamore ever win the National? - I don't think so. I'm not sure.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Do you want to go with Jonjo O'Neill, Ruby Walsh.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55- So we'll go for Bob Champion?- Yeah.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00I'm trying to think of an old one. Tony McCoy. We've got Tony McCoy.

0:38:03 > 0:38:09- Jonjo O'Neill.- Yeah.- Or Ruby Walsh? - Jonjo O'Neill.- OK. - Five seconds left.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13- OK.- OK, you've got your three.

0:38:13 > 0:38:18Your minute is up. We were looking for Grand National winning jockeys. I now need your three answers.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Er, I think Bob Champion. - Bob Champion.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Tony McCoy.- Tony McCoy.- Tony McCoy.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29- And Jonjo O'Neill.- Jonjo O'Neill. - And Jonjo O'Neill.

0:38:29 > 0:38:34OK. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:34 > 0:38:38Well, Bob Champion rode Aldaniti. He recovered from cancer.

0:38:38 > 0:38:43We thought that was our favourite one, but thinking about it, it might stick in people's minds.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46I think Jonjo O'Neill might be the least one.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49OK, so we'll put Jonjo O'Neill last, shall we?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52And which one is least likely to be a pointless answer?

0:38:52 > 0:38:57- Probably Bob Champion for the reason Paul's given. I think he's so well-known.- OK.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Tony McCoy somewhere in the middle. - And here they are.

0:39:04 > 0:39:09There they are. We were looking for Grand National winning jockeys.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13You said this was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,250 jackpot.

0:39:18 > 0:39:23OK, let's see how many people said Bob Champion. This is your first shot at the jackpot.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26It has to be right, and it has to be pointless.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Bob Champion.

0:39:31 > 0:39:36It's right. The question is, how many people have forgotten about Bob Champion?

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Will this go all the way down to zero?

0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it does, you will be leaving with £1,250.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44- APPLAUSE - No.

0:39:47 > 0:39:53Unfortunately that is not a pointless answer, so you have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55He had a film made about him and he scored ten!

0:39:55 > 0:39:59- It's looking very good for your next two answers.- Fingers crossed.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02OK, we were looking for Grand National winning jockeys.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Tony McCoy.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, £1,250.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14- What would you do with £1,250? - Take the family on a holiday.

0:40:14 > 0:40:19- Very good. You too, Ian? - I'd probably spend it on something ridiculous like go-kart racing.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24- Something fun. Life's too short. - Quite right. Quite right. OK.

0:40:24 > 0:40:30Good. For £1,250, let's see how many people said Tony McCoy.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Is it right? How many people said it? Tony McCoy.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37It's right.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Bob Champion went down to ten.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Let's see if Tony McCoy can go down any further.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46He was a more recent winner. There we are.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- APPLAUSE - 25.

0:40:50 > 0:40:55- Of course, he won the 2010 Grand National, so I suppose more people will remember that.- Yeah.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58So we've gone from ten to 25.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Jonjo O'Neill.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10- There he is. You remember him as a trainer.- Yeah.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13Are you sure he was a National winning jockey?

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- I'm not.- 50-50.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18- This was our gamble answer.- Yeah.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22Very best of luck. This for £1,250. This was the answer you had the most faith in.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26Let's see if your faith was well-placed. This has to be pointless.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30Jonjo O'Neill. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:41:34 > 0:41:37Bad luck, Paul and Ian!

0:41:37 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE

0:41:42 > 0:41:47Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:47 > 0:41:51so you don't win today's jackpot, £1,250, which rolls over onto the next show.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55But you've been fantastic contestants and you do get our Pointless trophy.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58- So... - APPLAUSE

0:42:01 > 0:42:07- So, Richard.- Tough luck. Jonjo O'Neill rode in the National seven times and never completed the course.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10He trained Don't Push It, the 2010 winner, ridden by Tony McCoy.

0:42:10 > 0:42:16There's a load of pointless answers here. I suspect if you know your jockeys, you'll know some of these.

0:42:16 > 0:42:21Let's look. See how people at home did. Ben De Haan won on Corbiere, Jenny Pitman's horse.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Carl Llewellyn won twice on Party Politics and Earth Summit.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28Charlie Fenwick won it on Ben Nevis in 1980.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32Dick Saunders was 48 when he won on Grittar, just after Bob Champion.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Graham Lee won on Amberleigh House. Jim Culloty won on Bindaree.

0:42:37 > 0:42:44Jimmy Frost won on Little Polveir. Liam Treadwell won on the 100-1 shot Mon Mome in 2009.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48And Marcus Armytage won the fastest ever Grand National on Mr Frisk.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Any of those ring a bell?- No. The only one to say is Ruby Walsh, I'm glad not to see that there.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- We didn't say that one.- Well, that's a relief. Some consolation, anyhow.

0:42:56 > 0:43:02Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you both, but you've been brilliant. Thank you for playing.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05- APPLAUSE - So nobody's won our jackpot today,

0:43:05 > 0:43:11which means it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,250.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
