CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet the players. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
Welcome, Ian and Grant. You're our first pair. How do you two know each other? | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
We actually met about eight years ago playing football for a mutual friend's team. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Ian's got progressively worse over the years and is now the manager, but I still play. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
And when you're not playing football, what do you do, Grant? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
In my spare time, we love to play golf. We're quite sporty people really, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
so that's where we tend to spend most of our time. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
OK, so we've covered football and golf. What do you do in the time that's not spare? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-What's your job? -Work-wise, I'm a plasterer. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
So, yeah, hard work, but pays the bills. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
-Ian, how about you? -I manage a leisure centre, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
just the day-to-day running of the building, really. Pools and gyms and things. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
So sport and leisure will hopefully be a strong topic for me, should it come up. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
Best of luck. It's great to have you here. Next we welcome Vicky and Hannah. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-How do you two know each other? -Can't you tell we're identical twins? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
She's dreaming there, obviously. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
You can tell with the age gap, she's my mother. Obviously. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-LAUGHTER -Where are you from, Vicky? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-We're from Sheffield. -Very good. And what do you do? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
I work in admin in an office for local authority building control. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
-Very good. How about you, Hannah? -I'm a trade union convener. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-What sort of things do you convene? -I do things like disciplinaries, grievances, really easy things. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:58 | |
-LAUGHTER -What's going to be fun for you on Pointless? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
-What would be a great category for you? -Probably Alfred Hitchcock films or something like that. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
But I don't know if it would be that specific. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
-OK, so film, particularly Hitchcock. -Yeah. I watch random things, yeah. -Very good. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
It's great to have you here. Welcome and best of luck. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Next we welcome back Chris and Colin. You were on the show last time. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final and this is your last chance. What happened? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
Well, last time we brought shame on our fine city of Norwich, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
or more specifically, I did, I think. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
But we went up against some really tough competition and we just didn't cut the Norfolk mustard, really. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
You didn't cut the Norfolk mustard. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Chris, what would you like to see come up this afternoon? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
In my spare, I do like to look at some classic cars, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
particularly 70s retro cars, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
so anything there would be great, please. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-OK. Colin, how about you? -I'm quite into my films, so anything with Al Pacino in. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
He's acting royalty to me, so I think anything with Al Pacino and I'll have a good chance. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:05 | |
Very good indeed. Best of luck. Great to have you back. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
And finally we welcome back Andy and Claire. You were also on the show last time. What happened? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
We did quite well last time. We got through to the head-to-head, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-but we came undone on geography and literature. -US states larger than the UK. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
That's right. We're hoping that this time round, US states smaller than the UK comes up, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
because we have loads of those, apparently. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Very good. What would you like to see come up this afternoon, Andy? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
I had thought geography, but after last time, I'm not so sure. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-Music, TV, film, that sort of thing. -OK. Claire? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:40 | |
Having listened to everybody, everybody seems to be into their film, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
so I don't know whether that would be a good idea. So maybe another punt at geography. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
Maybe with a question I know the answer to. That would be good. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-Fair enough. -LAUGHTER -What are your interests, Claire? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
I run a guide unit. I volunteer for Girl Guiding UK, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
so I run a unit for ten to 14-year-olds. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
So that takes up a bit of my time, organising unit meetings, taking them camping | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
-and doing all sorts of things. I enjoy that. -How about you, Andy? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
I enjoy playing a bit of football, five-a-side, and squash, as well. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
Great to have you back. I'm predicting great things for you this afternoon. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
But as you know, I'm always wrong. We'll find out more about of you during the show. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
One person left to introduce. When the going gets obscure, he gets going. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard. -Hiya. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-How are you today? -I'm very well, thank you. -It's show 199. -I know. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
-199. -Who would've thought? We've got two returning pairs. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
One of the pairs was in the head-to-head, Andy and Claire. Very strong. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Chris and Colin slightly let themselves down. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
There's a lot of people today play five-a-side football and I'm thinking eight of them, two of us, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
a little game of five-a-side? We could be captains. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-Rather than do Pointless. -Let's definitely do that. Shall we? -Do you think? Is that all right? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:08 | |
-No, let's do a quiz instead. -OK. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
Anyway, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
For a chance to win our jackpot, just score as few points as you can. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Rupert and Catherine won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:38 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Right, let's play Pointless. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
Our first category this afternoon is...British Actors. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
And whoever's going first, set up to the podium. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
to name as many Ewan McGregor films as they could. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
Any feature film made for cinema release for which Ewan McGregor received an acting credit | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
prior to April 2011. As always, short films, TV films, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
documentaries don't count, but voice performances do. Very best of luck. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
OK. Now then, Grant and Ian, you all drew lots before the show and this afternoon you get to go first. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:43 | |
-Grant, Ewan McGregor films. -Yeah, I think I've got a reasonable one. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
I remember watching it a few years back and not understanding what was going on. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
But I think the film he was in was called Big Fish. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
Big Fish. That could be a spectacular answer. You're hoping to score as few points as possible. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
Big Fish. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Big Fish. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Very well done, Grant. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Ten! -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Ten for Big Fish. Richard. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
Yeah, very well played, Grant. From 2003. Fairly incomprehensible. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
It's a Tim Burton film. Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney play younger and older versions of the same character. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:31 | |
Very good. Hannah. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-I was thinking of that one. -Were you really? -Yeah. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
So I'm thinking of one of his early ones, but... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
There's a couple in my head, so I'm going to go for one that's quite gruesome, Shallow Grave. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
Shallow Grave. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Shallow Grave. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:54 | |
Let's see if that's a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said Shallow Grave. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
It's right. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Down it goes. Ten! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Same score. -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
Very good result for Shallow Grave. Richard. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Yeah, from 1994, which is a depressing 17 years ago, Shallow Grave. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:21 | |
-That's when he first really had his big break. -Yeah. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-Now then, Chris, Ewan McGregor films. -My two-year-old son's a big fan of this one. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-I'm going to go with Robots. -Robots. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
Robots. OK, you're trying to find a nice obscure Ewan McGregor film. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
You're saying Robots. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Robots. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-Oh, very well done! -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
Very, very well done, Chris, that's a pointless answer and that adds £250 to today's jackpot, | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
taking your total up to £1,250 | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
and it scores you nothing. Very well done indeed. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-Yeah, very well played. What's your son called? -Milo. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
I think Milo has just added £250 to the jackpot. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Ewan McGregor voices Rodney Copperbottom, the inventor in that film. It's also got Halle Berry | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
and Robin Williams and various people. Seems to me the best argument for having children, | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
that it helps on Pointless quite a lot. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
There's probably other reasons, but that seems the best. Look at Vicky. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:30 | |
-Hannah's even here. -Yes. -LAUGHTER | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. And well done, Chris, that's a great answer. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
Now then, Claire. Claire. A nice obscure Ewan McGregor film. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:44 | |
This is going to sound like a lie, but I was thinking Big Fish, and then my mind has gone blank | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
apart from a really obvious one, which I'll have to go for, and it's Moulin Rouge! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-Moulin Rouge! -Mm. -OK. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Moulin Rouge! You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Moulin Rouge! | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Moulin Rouge! | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
It's not bad. 23. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
23 for Moulin Rouge! I just had a horrible thought. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-What's that? -The reason why that's a surprisingly low score is cos it was a long time ago. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
-It was ten years ago. It's not too bad. -Yeah, but I thought it was, like, two years ago. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
-It's ten years ago? -And if you're watching the repeat on Challenge, that was 14 years ago! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-Yeah, from 2001. Plays an English writer. -OK, we're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:44 | |
Chris and Colin on nothing. Fantastic answer there with Robots. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
Grant and Ian and Hannah and Vicky on ten. Two good answers there. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
And Claire and Andy, that really wasn't bad at all. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
23. You're not too far ahead of the field. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
But Andy, you're going to have to make up for that. You are the high scorers. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
You have to find some nice obscure Ewan McGregor movie for the next pass. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
We come back down the line. Second players, take your places. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
OK, we are looking for Ewan McGregor films. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Andy, you're the high scorers on 23. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Yeah, I've got a couple of films. Two of them are very, very obvious and aren't going to be good for us. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:24 | |
One would be a big gamble. I'm not confident enough in the answer, | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
so I'll go for I Love You Phillip Morris. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-I Love You Phillip Morris. -Yep. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
OK. Let's see if I Love You Phillip Morris is right, and if it is, how many people said it. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
There's no red line for you because you are the high scorers. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Well done, it's right. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
Still going down. Very well done, Andy! | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-That's great. -APPLAUSE | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Five for I Love You Phillip Morris, takes your total up to 28. Richard. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Yeah, it's a very good answer, Andy. From 2009. Starred with Jim Carrey. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:04 | |
-Colin. -Yes. -Colin. Thanks to Chris's brilliant answer in the first pass, you are on nothing. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
-He's keeping me in the game. -The high scorers are Andy and Claire on 28. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
If you can score 27 or less, you're definitely in the next round. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
I will go with a film I think he starred in with Cameron Diaz called A Life Less Ordinary. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
A Life Less Ordinary you're saying. OK. Here's your red line. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said A Life Less Ordinary. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
You've done it! Very well done. Ten. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Ten for A Life Less Ordinary. Takes your total up to ten. You're through to the next round. Richard. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
Another score of ten. From 1997. Most of the same team that made Shallow Grave. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-He plays a cleaner who takes Cameron Diaz hostage. -So, Vicky. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
We are looking for Ewan McGregor films. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
You are on ten. The high scorers are Andy and Claire on 28, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
which means if you can score 17 or less, you're through to the next round. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
I don't know any Ewan McGregor films. Only the obvious one, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
erm, which I think will be more than I need, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
so it's going to have to be a gamble | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
and I'm going to say the last Shrek film, which is Shrek 4. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:27 | |
You're saying Shrek 4. All right, Vicky, there's your red line. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
Below that, you're through to the next round. Let's see if Shrek 4 is right, and if it is, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
how many people said Shrek 4. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
Ohh, bad luck, Vicky. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
That takes your total up to 110. Richard. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Shrek Forever After is the full name of it, but he wasn't in it. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Ian. You've just been thrown the most massive lifeline. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
You don't believe how big the lifeline is, trust me. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Not a strong area of mine at all. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
I'm just trying to think of a film | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
which has got many different stars in it that he may well have been in. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
-I'm guessing. I'll just say Love Actually. -There's your red line. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
Let's find out. Is Ewan McGregor in Love Actually, and if he is, how many people said it? Love Actually. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:26 | |
Ohh! Bad luck, Ian. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Unfortunately, that is a wrong answer, which means you score 100 points, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
taking your total up to 110. So this is very exciting, Richard. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
Yeah, I'm afraid he wasn't in Love Actually. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
That was the film he wasn't in before he wasn't in Shrek Forever After. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
Well, as it's a tie, your scores are going to be reset to zero | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
and the tied pairs have to give me one more answer each | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
and the pair that gets the highest score will be eliminated. You are now allowed to confer. OK. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
-So, Ian and Grant. -You're on your own, mate, so whatever you think. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
I'm quite happy with that. No pressure, obviously, but... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
OK, I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think we'll go for the gamble | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
and I think he's in one called The Island. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
The Island. The Island. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Let's see if that's a right answer, and if it is, how many people said The Island. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
It's right. It's right. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-14. -APPLAUSE | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-14 for The Island. -Happy with that, Alexander. Very happy. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Well done, Ian and Grant. Now then, Vicky and Hannah. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
-14 is what you have to beat. -There's three. There's the obvious one, there's Trainspotting, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
but then there was two that I couldn't remember the name of and Mum's come up with one. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
One with Barings Bank, Rogue Trader, and a musical with Love in the title. I can't remember... | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
-Go for Rogue Trader. -So.... Rogue Trader. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
Rogue Trader. I'd forgotten about that. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
There's your red line. Below that red line, you are through to the next round. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
Rogue Trader. Good luck. Let's see how many of our 100 people remembered that. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
Yep, there we go, it's right. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Will it go down below 14? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
-Yes, it will! Look at that! -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Very, very well remembered. That's a great answer. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:33 | |
Five for Rogue Trader and that sees you through to the next round. Richard. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
Vicky, very, very well done. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
That's what Pointless is all about, things that nestle at the back of your head | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
and you come up with them at the last second. It's won you a place in the next round. Unlucky, guys. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
Maybe the one with love in the title is Down With Love. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-Ah, see. Bit rubbish. -Let me take a look. Yep. Yeah, you're right. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
That would've scored you one point. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
There's a whole load of pointless answers here. Let's take a look. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
Blown Apart. Blue Juice, which was an early surfing film with Sean Pertwee. Cassandra's Dream. All pointless. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:10 | |
Eye Of The Beholder. Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang he's in. Robots, very good answer from Milo. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
Stay. Stormbreaker, based on the Alex Rider stories. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
And he voiced one of the characters in Valiant, the pigeon animation. Very good round from everyone. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
Let's look at the top scorers. Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace would've scored you 17. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
The other two Star Wars films he's in were there, but scored less. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Moulin Rouge! with 23. And right at the top, the one that everyone was trying to avoid | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
all the way through, Trainspotting would've scored you 51 points. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
Thanks, Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Ian and Grant. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
That was very exciting. You had a stay of execution there | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
and then you pulled The Island out of the bag. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-Not quite to be, though. Maybe next time. -Rogue Trader, though. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
Well, Ian and Grant, such a shame to be saying goodbye to you so early. But you get two chances, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
so let's hope you do better next time you are on. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-Very well done. -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will be leaving at the end of this round. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
Our category for round two is... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
And whoever's going first, step up to the podium. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
And our round two question concerns... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
We're going to show you a list six districts and suburbs in each pass. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
We asked 100 people, "To which cities or metropolitan areas do these suburbs belong?" | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
The more obscure answers will score you fewer points, but an incorrect answer will score 100 points. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:04 | |
I'm going to give you 12 districts and suburbs in all, so 12 to get at home. Very best of luck. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
We are looking for the cities or metropolitan areas to which these districts and suburbs belong. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
And we have got... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
OK, Hannah. There are your districts or suburbs. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
Oh, dear. This is why I went first, cos I'm horrendous at... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
-They're really hard. -I'm really good at maps, but tell me somewhere and I've not got a clue. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
But I have been to one of them and that's the bottom one, | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
so I'm going to go for that, Moss Side. I think that's in Manchester. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Moss Side, Manchester, Hannah says. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew that. | 0:19:54 | 0:20:00 | |
Moss Side, Manchester. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
It's right. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
-43. -APPLAUSE | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Yeah, well done, Hannah. That's a good answer but quite high scoring. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-Chris, how does that list look to you? -Pretty scary. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
I'm going to have to go for the big hitter, | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
it's going to be Chelsea, London. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-Ooh, yeah. Someone actually tutted you there, Chris. -LAUGHTER | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
Chelsea, London, you're saying. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
-APPLAUSE -76. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-That is better than 100, Chris. -It is. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
Could've scored a lot more. Chelsea was once a very bohemian part of London, now very well-to-do. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:53 | |
So, Andy, you are the last person to have this board so talk us through all of these | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-and fill in the metropolitan areas to which they belong. -It won't take me very long. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
I have no idea on Holgate, no idea on Moseley. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
Headingley is a cricket ground, but I don't know where it is. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
And Splott, I think it's Cardiff. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
Splott, Cardiff. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Splott, Cardiff. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
It's right! It's right, Andy! | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Very, very, very well done indeed! That's a brilliant answer. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
Splott is indeed in Cardiff and it scores you six. Richard. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-Yeah, very well played, Andy. Where did that one come from? -The traffic report in Radio 2 is from Splott. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:44 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Excellent. There's a few theories as to why it's called Splott. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
One is that it was originally built on land owned by the Bishop of Llandaff | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
and people said maybe it's from "God's plot". But also, when the houses were being build, supposedly, | 0:21:55 | 0:22:00 | |
it said "5 plot" and that was misread. But who knows? | 0:22:00 | 0:22:06 | |
-We may never know. -Who knows? -The Old English for patch of land is splott, so I'd say that's more likely. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
Let's fill in the rest of the board. Headingley is a cricket ground, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
that's a big clue for most people. It's in Leeds. Would've scored you 29. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
Moseley, a suburb of Birmingham. Would've scored you 11. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
And Holgate. Do you know Holgate? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Holgate is a pointless answer, so very well done if you said Holgate. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
And if you did, I suspect maybe you live in York, cos that's what it is. Pointless answer. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 | |
Very good. Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Andy and Claire looking very solid there thanks to Splott. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
Then up to Hannah and Vicky on 43. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
And then up to 76 for Chris and Colin. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
So Vicky and Colin, I guess it's going to be between you two to decide who stays and who goes. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
OK, we'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
OK, we're going to put six more districts or suburbs on the board and here they are. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
We have got... | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
We are looking for the cities or metropolitan areas to which these districts or suburbs belong. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:28 | |
Claire, you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
How does that look to you? | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
-Terrifying. -Really? -You say I'm trying to find the one with the fewest, | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
I'm trying to find the one that I recognise and that's proving challenging enough. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
I'm going to go with Craigleith | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
because the suffix leith sounds Scottish. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
I'm going to go for...Glasgow. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
Craigleith. Glasgow you are saying. There's your red line. If you get below that, you're through. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:02 | |
Glasgow, Craigleith. Is that right? How many people said it if it is? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
Oh, Claire! Oh, bad luck, bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
You scored a maximum of 100 points, that takes your total up to 106. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
The round is not over yet. Just bear that in mind. It's a difficult board. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
-Richard. -Difficult board and Andy's score was so good, you're still in it. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
I won't give you the answer in case others want to have a go. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
Colin, so remember, we are looking for the cities in which you would find these areas. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:34 | |
The high scorers on 106 are Andy and Claire. You're on 76 which means if you score 29 or less, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:41 | |
you are through to the next round. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
The only one that I'd take a punt at will be Govan. It sounds Scottish to me. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:51 | |
Sounds like a Rab C Nesbitt type of thing. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-So I'm going to go similar to Claire and say Glasgow. -You're going to say Govan, Glasgow. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:00 | |
There's your red line. Get below that line you're through to the head-to-head. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:07 | |
Let's see if Govan and Glasgow go together, and if they do, how many people knew that. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
It's right! Very well done, Colin. It's right, is it right enough? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
-Oh! -APPLAUSE | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
Well, that scores you 35. Takes your total up to 111. Slightly pyrrhic victory, that one. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:32 | |
-A brilliant answer. -Yes. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
-Is it enough to see you through to the head-to-head? -We shall see. -We shall see. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
-Richard. -Yeah, a few too many points. It is in Glasgow and it is where Rab C Nesbitt is set, as well. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
Vicky. The high scorers are now Colin and Chris on 111. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:49 | |
You're on 43, which means you need to score 67 or less to be in the head-to-head. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:54 | |
Do you think you can do it? How's that board behind me? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
I do know Toxteth and I was like that with Craigleith. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:03 | |
But it's definitely Toxteth. There were riots there in the early 80s. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:09 | |
-And that's Liverpool. -Toxteth, Liverpool, you're saying. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
Here's your red line. Nice and high. Below that red line, you're through to the head-to-head. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:20 | |
Toxteth, Liverpool. Is it right? And if it is, how many people said it? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
It's right, Vicky! | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
-And you're through to the head-to-head. -APPLAUSE | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Very, very well done. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
46. Takes your total up to a brilliant, low 89. Well played. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
Well played. Let's take a look at the rest of the answers. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
-Gosforth, that's your neck of the woods. -Newcastle. -Newcastle. 14. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Craigleith, as I suspect Andy knew, it's not Glasgow, it's Edinburgh. Would have scored you five points. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:51 | |
-Headington, do you know Headington? -Well, no, I was about to say Leeds but that's Headingley. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:56 | |
-Oxford! It's Oxford. -It is Oxford, yeah. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
That would have scored you three. And Drypool is another pointless answer. Any ideas? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
-Drypool. -Not a word, however, everybody in Kingston-upon-Hull will be saying that's where it is. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:11 | |
-Why would they know? -Because it's Hull. -Oh, I see, right, yes. -LAUGHTER | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
-it's Chris and Colin. Oh, dear. -AUDIENCE SIGH | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Yes, exactly. Quite right. Quite right. I'm sorry we didn't have any Norwich suburbs there. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:30 | |
-I don't think we'd know them. -I don't think we'd know them anyway. -LAUGHTER | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
Well, I predicted great things for you. And you made it through to round two, which is good. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:40 | |
-It's certainly better than we did last time. -Better than you did last time. -Yes. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
We've got to see a little bit more of you, but I still don't think we've had your best. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
-But that's it. That's the end of your Pointless road. -Lovely. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
Thanks very much for playing, Colin and Chris. You've been brilliant contestants. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, things will get even more exciting now in the head-to-head. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
Very well done, Andy and Claire, Vicky and Hannah, you made it through to the head-to-head. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:15 | |
Only one pair can make it through to today's final and play for the jackpot, which stands at £1,250. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:22 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Now you go head-to-head on the best of three questions. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer and you are now allowed to confer. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
All you need is an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:40 | |
The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
OK, here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name | 0:28:51 | 0:28:57 | |
as many of the 'big five' African safari animals as they could. Richard. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
We're looking for any of the 'big five' African safari animals. The phrase was coined by hunters, | 0:29:01 | 0:29:06 | |
as these were the most difficult to catch. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
These days more often used for tourists, they're the ones you want to see. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
We are looking for the 'big five' as outlined on the Kruger National Park website. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:18 | |
OK, Andy and Claire, cos you played best throughout the show, you go first. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:22 | |
We are looking for the 'big five' African safari animals. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
-I'm not happy with giraffe. -Yeah. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
-OK. -OK? | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
-We're going to go for rhinoceros, please. -Rhinoceros. OK, rhinoceros. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:37 | |
Vicky and Hannah, you can confer out loud. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
We're thinking, because of what Richard said, that a rhinoceros might be a bit too slow, | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
so they might be quite easy to catch. I don't know. So we're thinking something faster. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:49 | |
Like a cheetah. Shall we go cheetah or lion? Play it a bit safer, I don't know. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:55 | |
-You can choose. No pressure. -Cheetah. -It better be right. -Cheetah. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
She'll get it if it's not right, I tell you. She'll be in a home. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
-She'd loved that. -Oh, there's so much riding on this. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
Right, Andy and Claire, you have said rhinoceros. Let's see if that's right, | 0:30:12 | 0:30:17 | |
and if it is, let's see how many said rhinoceros. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
It's right. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
-50! -APPLAUSE | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
50 for rhino. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
Now, Vicky, you've said cheetah. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
-It's all depending on this, isn't it? -So much is depending on this. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
-Hannah, what do you think? -It ought to be cheetah, for my mum's sake. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:47 | |
Is it right, and if it is, how many people said cheetah? Good luck, Vicky. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:53 | |
-Ah! -AUDIENCE GROANS | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Well, that means that after the first question, Andy and Claire are ahead 1-0. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
-Richard. -Well played, Andy and Claire. Let's take a look at all five of them. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:05 | |
The ones at the bottom are quite difficult. Well done if you got all five of these. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
Buffalo is the best answer on seven. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
Leopard would have scored you 16, there's rhino on 50, then elephant, 86. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:16 | |
And lion right at the top on 88. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
Right. Here is our second question. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
Vicky and Hannah, you have to win this question to stay in the game. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
as many Shakespeare plays set in Italy as they could. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:36 | |
We're looking for any Shakespeare play, there are quite a few of them, | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
that is wholly or partly set in the country we now know as Italy. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
Not including any of Shakespeare's lost plays. Any play set wholly or partly in Italy, please. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:50 | |
Vicky and Hannah, you get to go first this time. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
-Julius Caesar. -Julius Caesar. -Yep. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:57 | |
Julius Caesar. Andy and Claire, you can talk out loud if you like. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
Erm, well, we're thinking we're going to stay away from Merchant Of Venice, Romeo And Juliet. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:07 | |
They're big ones that will probably score quite highly. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:12 | |
-We're going to go for Two Gentlemen Of Verona. -Two Gentlemen Of Verona. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:18 | |
We have Julius Caesar, we have Two Gentlemen Of Verona. Let's see, in the order they've been given, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:24 | |
Vicky and Hannah Julius Caesar, is it right? How many people said it? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
It's right. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-Ooh, look at that! 17. -APPLAUSE | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
17. Great score. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
Andy and Claire, Two Gentlemen Of Verona, is it right? How many people said it? | 0:32:44 | 0:32:49 | |
It is right. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:51 | |
Can it do it? | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
-Oh! 21. -APPLAUSE | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
21. Which means, after two questions, it's 1-1. Richard. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:07 | |
Good answers from both teams. There's quite a few. There's 12 plays on this list. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
Let's take a look at a few of them. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
One point for Titus Andronicus. One for Much Ado About Nothing. Two for The Winter's Tale. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
Three for Coriolanus. Four for All's Well That Ends Well. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
Eight for The Taming Of The Shrew. All set or partly set in Italy. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:25 | |
Nine for Antony And Cleopatra. 15 for Othello. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:29 | |
There's Julius Caesar on 17. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
Andy had taken us through all of these. The Two Gentlemen Of Verona, 21. Merchant Of Venice, 47. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:37 | |
And Romeo And Juliet, 73. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
Thank you very much, Richard. OK, here is your third question. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
Whoever wins this goes through to the final. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name | 0:33:46 | 0:33:51 | |
as many nationalities of 2011 Formula 1 drivers as they could. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:56 | |
-Richard. -We're looking for the nationalities of any of the 22 Formula 1 drivers | 0:33:56 | 0:34:01 | |
who started the 2011 season. So anyone who drove in that first Grand Prix. Any of their nationalities. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:08 | |
OK, Andy and Claire, you get to go first this time. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
We're toying with two but we're going to go for Japan. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
-Japanese. -Japanese. Vicky and Hannah, what are you thinking? | 0:34:16 | 0:34:21 | |
Mark Webber is Australian, so I'll say Australian. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
Australian. OK, Australian. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
We have Japanese. We have Australian. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:31 | |
Right, whoever wins this goes through to the final. Let's find out who it's going to be. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
Japanese, said Andy and Claire. Is it right? If it is, how many people said it? Japanese. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:40 | |
Yep, it's right! | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
-18! -APPLAUSE | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
18 for Japanese. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
Vicky and Hannah, Australian, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
is it right? And if it is, how many people said Australian? | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
It's right! | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
-APPLAUSE -30. -18-30! | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
30. Which means, after three questions, Andy and Claire are through to the final, 2-1. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:20 | |
-Richard. -Good head-to-head. Kobayashi is the Japanese driver in Formula 1. He won you the points. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:27 | |
Let's take a look at them all. Maldonado, Venezuela, that was a pointless answer. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:31 | |
The Mexican would have scored you two points. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
Sebastien Buemi, the Swiss, would have scored you three. Belgian, five. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
Russian six, that's Petrov. Heikki Kovalainen is Finnish, that's 15. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
Japanese, 18, as we've just seen. Australian Mark Webber, 30. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
Italian Jarno Trulli, 40. Brazilian, 41. Spanish 48, Alguersuari and Alonso. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:53 | |
German, they had six drivers in that first Grand Prix, on 70. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
And three Brits, Hamilton, Button and di Resta, 96 points for that. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
-Very well done if you got one of those low scorers. -Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:06 | |
-Hang on, you said Venezuelan. -I didn't say, "I think." I said, "There's got to be a Venezuelan." | 0:36:06 | 0:36:12 | |
But I went, "Ah, but I don't know." | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
So we went, "We'll go for Australian cos there definitely is one." | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
You will be coming back, and on your next appearance on Pointless, let's hope we see you in the final. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:24 | |
-But thanks for playing, Vicky and Hannah. Brilliant contestants. -APPLAUSE | 0:36:24 | 0:36:29 | |
But for Andy and Claire, it's time for our Pointless final, | 0:36:30 | 0:36:34 | |
-and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,250. -APPLAUSE | 0:36:34 | 0:36:39 | |
Well, congratulations, Andy and Claire. You have fought off all the competition | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
-and won our coveted Pointless trophy. So, very well done. -APPLAUSE | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of today's show, it stands at £1,250. | 0:36:55 | 0:37:01 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
Now, the rules are very simple. To win, all you need to do is find a pointless answer, | 0:37:06 | 0:37:11 | |
that's an answer that none of our 100 people said. We've had one pointless answer today. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
You only have to find one more now and you will go home with that money. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
First though, you've got to choose a category. You can choose from these three options. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
You're quite good at music. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
-You are. -Yeah. Shall we try that? -Yeah. -Shall we give that a go. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
-Yeah. Well, I'll try and help. -OK. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:39 | |
We'd like to try Pop Duos, please. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
OK, Pop Duos. Let's find out what the question is. Good luck. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
as many Pet Shop Boys UK Top 40 singles as they could. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
-Pet Shop Boys. Richard. -We're looking for any single released by the Pet Shop Boys | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
or which had them as a featured named artist | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
which reached the UK Top 40 up to April 2011. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
All you need to win £1,250 is for just one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:13 | |
-Right. -OK. Well, I only know the obvious ones like, erm, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:20 | |
West End Girls, and Go West, is that one? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:24 | |
-I think they covered an Elvis song, as well. -Did they? Which one? | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
-You Are Always On My Mind. -Oh, yes! -That might be worth one. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:33 | |
Then, do you remember they had one out Christmas 2010 | 0:38:33 | 0:38:38 | |
that they did a sample of a classical piece? | 0:38:38 | 0:38:42 | |
-You're going to ask me the name. -Yeah, it's from Peer Gynt. Do you remember it? -Er, no. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:48 | |
-There's also the one called Se A Vida E or something. -Oh, yes, I recognise that. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:53 | |
-And there's another one out near that time called Bilingual, I think. -That sounds good. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:58 | |
-I don't know why... -LAUGHTER | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
-So shall we try those three, You Are Always On My Mind, Se A Vida E and Bilingual? -Yeah. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
-Unless you can remember that other one. I think it's more random. -I don't know. -Five seconds left. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
I can't remember what it is. We'll just go with those three. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
Your time is up. We were looking for Pet Shop Boys UK Top 40 singles. I now need three answers from you. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
-OK, we're going to go for You Are Always On My Mind. -You Are Always On My Mind. -Se A Vida E. -Se A Vida E. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:27 | |
-Bilingual. -And Bilingual. -Yeah. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:39:29 | 0:39:33 | |
-Bilingual, I think. -Bilingual. Put that last. -Then... | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
-Which is your least likely? -You Are Always On My Mind. -You Are Always On My Mind. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
OK, let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they come. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
We were looking for Pet Shop Boys UK Top 40 singles. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
-You said this was your least confident answer. -Yeah. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,250 jackpot. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:03 | |
Let's see how many people said You Are Always On My Mind. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
This has to be right and it has to be pointless. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:11 | |
Ooh. Unfortunately, that is not a pointless answer. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:18 | |
You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
We are looking for Pet Shop Boys UK Top 40 singles. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
Let's hope nobody said your next answer. This has to be pointless to win the jackpot. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
For £1,250, let's discover if Se A Vida E is correct, | 0:40:29 | 0:40:36 | |
and how many people said it. What would you do with £1,250? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
We could do a bit to our back garden, which at the moment is a bit of a state. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
-Or we could go on holiday. -Or we could go on holiday, which is probably what we would do. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:48 | |
-And come back and do the garden. -See the garden and go, "We had a nice holiday." | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
-Yeah. Exactly. -LAUGHTER -Yeah, probably that. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
Very good. £1,250 is riding on this. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
Se A Vida E, is it right? Is it pointless? | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
Let's discover. Se A Vida E, how many people said it? Is it right? | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
Ooh, it's right. Se A Vida E is right. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
That's the first thing it had to be, the second thing is pointless. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
It has to go all the way to zero and if it does, you leave here with £1,250. Still going down! | 0:41:17 | 0:41:22 | |
-Yes! -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:22 | 0:41:26 | |
Very, very well done! | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
Just brilliant. Very, very well done indeed! Brilliant! | 0:41:29 | 0:41:34 | |
Ah, congratulations! | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
That's wonderful. You managed to find that all-important pointless answer. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
-Which means you go home with the jackpot of £1,250. -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
Brilliant. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
-Richard. -We've had the jackpot won on the last three shows now. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
Very well done. Se A Vida E, that's the way life is, it was from the album Bilingual. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:02 | |
Never a single called that. They did do one called Single-Bilingual. Let's see all the pointless answers. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:08 | |
Before, Can You Forgive Her, Flamboyant, all pointless. Well done if you said those. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?, I'm With Stupid, which was their song about Bush and Blair. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:17 | |
Left To My Own Devices, a cover version of Somewhere, Yesterday When I Was Mad, | 0:42:17 | 0:42:22 | |
and You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk, which was their story... Their song about you and I. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:28 | |
-Love you! -We didn't accept... | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
I love you, too. We didn't accept You Are Always On My Mind, it's just Always On My Mind. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:36 | |
-But, you know what? Like you could care less. -Exactly. -LAUGHTER | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Andy and Claire, | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
-who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250. -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
Join us next time for our 200th edition of Pointless. How about that, Richard? 200 episodes! | 0:42:50 | 0:42:56 | |
-I know, 200, it's amazing, isn't it? It honestly doesn't feel like we've done any more than 195. -I know. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:01 | |
-Round about, yeah. -Exactly. It's going to be a special, stand-alone show with some memorable contestants. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:07 | |
So it will be a one-off. It's all people, because it's our 200th show, | 0:43:07 | 0:43:12 | |
that scored 200 in round one, which is the worst you can do in Pointless. We've invited them back. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:17 | |
LAUGHTER I hope some of them get 200 again. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:22 | |
-LAUGHTER -Then they can come back for our 400th show! | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
It will be a one-off special. Don't miss it! Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
-Goodbye. -And it's goodbye from me, goodbye. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
