0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:26 > 0:00:30and a very warm welcome to a special 200th edition of Pointless
0:00:30 > 0:00:33where we put obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38To celebrate this landmark episode, we've invited back four pairs who have one thing in common -
0:00:38 > 0:00:42they are all members of the Pointless 200 Club.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48They were each knocked out of the show by scoring the maximum of 200 points.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51That's two wrong answers in one round.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57In this special one-off show, we are giving them one more chance to make it to the Pointless final.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's meet our 200 Club.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:08First we welcome back Annie and Cathy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Now remind us how you came to be in the 200 Club.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We both got wrong answers.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22What was it that got you into the 200 Club?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It was Roman...Emperors?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29You can't even remember what the title was!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I know what my answer was. - Annie, help her.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38It was Roman Emperors and I chose Maximus Decimus because that's my husband's name - Max.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Maximus Decimus.- So I thought that's a good one to go to.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I chose Brutus because he sounded...brutish.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49LAUGHTER
0:01:49 > 0:01:55- They were both colossally wrong. - That's what we're working with here today.- Yeah. Oh, yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00What have you learnt since we last saw you on Pointless?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03That I'm quite thick. LAUGHTER
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I don't believe that for a second.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Very best of luck. It's lovely to have you back. Who knew you'd be back on?- I know!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- What a treat! Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- It's lovely to be here.- And next we welcome back Paul and Susan.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24APPLAUSE
0:02:24 > 0:02:30We have to go back into the Pointless annals to see when you were here. It was a while back.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- It was in Series One. - It was a long time ago.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38It was very, very different. This was steam-powered then.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Remind us what it was that entered you into the 200 Club.- The category was Strictly Come Dancing.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Winners or participants. I can't remember exactly.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54Sue said Malandra Burrows which was a pointless... Sorry, which was a wrong answer.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- It's important to distinguish between the two.- That's why we're here!- We can't distinguish.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I think I came up with Suranne Jones which again was a wrong answer.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It was the wrong show.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Remind us how you know each other. - We met in school. I was teaching and Paul came in...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- As a pupil?- No, not quite.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17LAUGHTER Not quite.
0:03:17 > 0:03:2130 students realised straight away that I fancied him.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Right. Very good. So you're both teaching?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- We are, yes.- You both still teach? - Yes.- What subjects do you teach?
0:03:28 > 0:03:34I teach ICT and Business Studies. Paul teaches Design Technology. We left Yorkshire to teach in Essex.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Very best of luck. It's lovely having you back on the show.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Thank you.- And we welcome Andy and Rob. It seems like only yesterday you were on the show.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- APPLAUSE - Look at them. There they are.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- Andy and Rob, what was it that got you into the 200 Club?- Rod Stewart.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58He's got a few people into a few other clubs in his day, Rod Stewart.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I didn't like the chap that much before, but I like him even less now.
0:04:02 > 0:04:09- Yeah.- I wasn't ever a fan.- I tried getting into the 200 Club three times, but Rob let me down twice.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- I'm not sure you've given an answer on Pointless... - I'm yet to answer a question right.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- ..that hasn't scored 100 points. - That's right.- Wow!
0:04:18 > 0:04:24I got home, turned the radio on and a Rod Stewart song was on. I thought, "You're just mocking me now!"
0:04:24 > 0:04:31We were getting the train home and there was a big Rod Stewart banner. We're haunted by Rod Stewart.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Very best of luck. It's great to have you back.- Thanks.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38And finally, we welcome back Mike and Kirsty.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41APPLAUSE
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Ah! Mike and Kirsty, remind us how you two know each other.
0:04:46 > 0:04:53Kirsty is my daughter and the big mistake I made on the last show was disclosing her age.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58So as long as I don't tell you how old she is,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00we might not be as blighted...
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I think it might have been divine intervention.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What questions did you go out on?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12It was about the Commonwealth. We had to name Commonwealth countries.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18- Yours used to be in though, didn't they?- They did, but you're just being kind.- Whereas mine never were.
0:05:18 > 0:05:25- It was realms of the Commonwealth. - I said Trinidad and Tobago and that's no longer in the Commonwealth.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I also said Bermuda when I should have said the Bahamas.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Kirsty, what was your answer? - I said the Falkland Islands.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Cos obviously that's never been in the Commonwealth countries,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41so obviously that was an immediate 100 points.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Mike, Trinidad and Tobago is a member of the Commonwealth,
0:05:45 > 0:05:50not a realm of the Commonwealth. The Queen is not the head of state.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You also got the reason you got your wrong answer wrong...wrong.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56LAUGHTER
0:05:56 > 0:06:00It's great to have you back on the show, Mike and Kirsty. Very best of luck.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Let's hope you all avoid scoring another 200 points today because that would be terrible.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15200 shows, over 1,000 contestants, but still only one pointless friend - he's Richard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Hello.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- APPLAUSE - Hiya.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26- Hello there.- How are you? - I'm really well. I'm so chuffed we've got to 200 episodes.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- It's lovely.- I know, it's brilliant.
0:06:28 > 0:06:35Normally, people who have been on the show before, it's an advantage. You come back, you get better...
0:06:35 > 0:06:42But all of these people have been on the show before a couple of times and they didn't get better.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46So it's very, very difficult to call this, I have to say.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50It's lovely to have all of them back. They're all great contestants.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Who's going to win, I don't know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59One thing I will say is quite early in Pointless... I'm always thinking of different things you can ask.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Quite early, I had an idea for a question I really liked
0:07:02 > 0:07:08and I thought I'd save it for a special occasion because it was such a good question.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It might be my favourite question of all time and it's Round 1 today.
0:07:12 > 0:07:19- Ooh!- We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but we want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24To stay in the game, our contestants just need to score as few points as they can.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30What everyone is trying to do, of course, is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33When that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39In honour of reaching our 200th episode and for today only, we start off with a jackpot
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- of £2,000. There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08OK, our first category this afternoon is...Food.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Decide who's going first, who's going second.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Let's find out what the question is.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:08:22 > 0:08:27to name as many varieties of potato as they could.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Varieties of potato, Richard? - Yeah?- Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:37The correct answers in this round will all be varieties of potato for cooking or eating. Good luck.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Especially for you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Annie and Cathy, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52- Good luck.- Thank you. - We'll give you a choice of seven possible answers for each pass.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'll read those again.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15At least one of those answers is pointless, but at least one is incorrect.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Pick an incorrect one and you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So, Cathy...
0:09:21 > 0:09:26I know a few, so I'm going to go careful and I'm going to go for Anya.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32Anya. OK, let's see if Anya is right and if it is, let's see how many people said Anya.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Ooh!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Very, very well said, Cathy.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- APPLAUSE - The Anya potato.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- You've broken the 100 jinx.- Yeah! - You've scored 2.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52That's a great answer, Cathy.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Yeah, the Anya was bred 15 years ago by the Scottish Crop Research Institute.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Quite a nutty potato, very good in salads.- Thank you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Now, Susan... Potatoes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06There's only two there that really come to mind,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09so I'll have to go safe and go with Rooster.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Go safe, go Rooster. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Rooster.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's right.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Down it goes. 12.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- APPLAUSE - 12. It was a good answer, Susan.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Richard?- Well done, Susan. A red potato, good for mashing, in fact, the Rooster.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- Now then, Rob, nobody's found a pointless answer on this pass yet.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I was going to say Rooster.- Uh-huh.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43So...there's one I definitely know,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47but I am going to go with Marfona.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Marfona. There it is at the bottom - Marfona.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57Is it right and if it is, how many people said Marfona? Good luck, Rob. Marfona...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's right. Well played, sir.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh, very, very well done.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- APPLAUSE - 1! Only the best score so far, Rob.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Look at that!
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- 1 point for Marfona. - Well played, Rob. Everyone's doing brilliantly.- I know.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Marfona, very good baking potatoes. They're often sold in packs of four for baking.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Mike, you're our only hope of a 100 score in this round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Or for a pointless, of course. - Yeah, well, it's a risk, isn't it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34There's one there that stands out as an obvious potato.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The others that I'm left with, I don't really know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44It's a question of a toss-up between Sante and Harmony.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- You're steering clear of Gelbart, I notice there.- Oh, no. That's...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Oh, that one as well.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56LAUGHTER I'd lost it. Don't worry.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Yeah, I'll go for Gelbart, seeing as I missed it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:07Gelbart is what Mike says. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Gelbart. Good luck.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10No!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- 400 Club!- Oh, Mike!
0:12:14 > 0:12:21I am so sorry. Gelbart is an incorrect answer which scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard?
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- Larry Gelbart is the man who created the TV show M*A*S*H.- Oh, really?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- It was a great question, though. I really enjoyed it.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43You would have been fine with any other answer. Maris Piper, quite right to have avoided cos it was 62.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- But the other two were both pointless answers.- Oh!
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Harmony and Sante, both pointless answers. You did very well to avoid them both(!)
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Thank you. I worked hard at it.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Rob and Andy looking very, very strong indeed on just 1,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11as are Cathy and Annie on 2, then up to 12 for Susan and Paul,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15then, I'm sorry, Mike, way up to 100 where we find you and Kirsty.
0:13:15 > 0:13:22Kirsty, a lovely, obscure potato from you on the next pass and hope someone else trips up along the way.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31OK, we're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And here they are.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'll read all those again.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52At least one of those answers is pointless and at least one is incorrect.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Pick an incorrect one and you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Now, Kirsty...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Am I first? - You are first on this pass.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06OK, well, I definitely know one that I think is popular,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10so since we're in this situation, I think I'll have to make a guess.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- Yes, you are the high scorers by a margin.- Try and find a pointless.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19So this really is eeny-meeny-miny-mo, wherever it goes,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and I'll go with, I might get another 100 points here,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but I'm going with Nadine.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Let's see if Nadine is right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31There's no red line for you because you are the high scorers.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Nadine, is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's right. It's right, Kirsty.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41This could be a lovely low score.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- CHEERING - Very well done, a pointless answer!
0:14:46 > 0:14:51It adds £250 to today's jackpot and it takes the total up to £2,250.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100 points. Let's hope it keeps you in the game.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Richard?- Well played, Kirsty. It might keep you in the game.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Andy's next and he's never got a right answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Nadine, again good for mashed potato.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I did quite a lot of research into potatoes for this round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15I'll tell you a couple of interesting things about the Nadine.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21- It's got a double eelworm resistance and it's got a high common scab tolerance, the Nadine.- Brilliant.
0:15:21 > 0:15:28- Now then, Andy... Andy...- Hello. - You're on 1. The high scorers are Kirsty and Mike on 100.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32If you can score 98 or less, through you go to the next round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I'm going to try and play really tactical
0:15:36 > 0:15:41and hope that not everybody knew that King Edward was a potato.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46I expect 100 people know, but either way, I score 100, don't I? King Edward.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52King Edward, says Andy. I think that could be a very, very very shrewd bit of tactics there.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55There's your red line just below the pink line.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58King Edward, is it right? How many people said it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This could be your first ever correct answer on Pointless.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You've done it, Andy!
0:16:05 > 0:16:0974. That's perfect. Did exactly what it needed to do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It takes your total up to 75. Very well done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well done, Andy. You can be pretty pleased with yourself.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23King Edward, so called because they were introduced into Britain during the week of Edward VII's coronation.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Now then, Paul, remember, we are looking for varieties of potato.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Paul and Susan are on 12. The high scorers are Kirsty and Mike on 100.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38If you can score 87 or less, Paul, you are through to the next round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44I think I'm going to follow Kirsty's lead and go with a lady's name, so I'll go with Desiree.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Desiree, says Paul. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51If Desiree goes below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's right and you are through.
0:17:01 > 0:17:0224.
0:17:02 > 0:17:0624 for Desiree takes your total up to 36.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Very well done, Paul.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- Richard?- Well played, Paul. Very good for jacket potatoes and potato wedges.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- We never had potato wedges when we were kids.- No.- We just had chips.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- The only wedges we got were... - LAUGHTER
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- If you got your potatoes in there, you really were... - Wedges, not wedgies.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh!- Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Maybe I should have one.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Now then, Annie...
0:17:35 > 0:17:41Annie, the high scorers are Kirsty and Mike still on 100 points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45You are on 2 points thanks to Cathy's excellent answer of Anya.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50If you can score 97 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54OK, there's only one on there that I think is a potato
0:17:54 > 0:17:59and because it's another girl's name, I'm worried because they can't all be girls' names.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I'll have to go for Charlotte because I feel sure that is a potato.
0:18:03 > 0:18:10- I think it's a new potato, a little one.- You're going for Charlotte. Well, if it helps, Rob is nodding.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Is he?- Yeah.- I think it's all right.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19- Oh, thanks, Rob.- There's your red line, Annie. If you come below it, you are through to the next round.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25Let us see if Charlotte is indeed a potato and if it is, let's see how many people said Charlotte.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Yes, you've done it. Well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Charlotte is a potato
0:18:31 > 0:18:35and it's a lovely low-scoring potato at 15.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Very well done. Well done, Rob.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41You were right. It takes your total up to 17. Well done, Annie.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Yeah, very well played, Annie, the best pair of the whole round. Very good.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- It's a long... - Amazing!- That's a first!
0:18:50 > 0:18:54To be fair, though, they are all losers.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56But you're the best losers.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Yeah, it's a long, oval potato, ideal for potato salads.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Lady Balfour, that is a potato. Would have scored 1.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Estelle is a lady's name, Carlingford less so. Which one of those is...?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16I think Carlingford is pointless and Estelle is make-believe.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Estelle Harris voiced Mrs Potato Head in Toy Story 2 and 3. That was incorrect.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27Carlingford would have been a pointless answer, a pointless potato if there is such a thing.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thank you, Richard.
0:19:31 > 0:19:37At the end of Round 1, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm so sorry, Mike and Kirsty, it's you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- We're used to it.- And Kirsty with Nadine, what a great answer!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Fantastic. Total fluke, obviously. - It was good.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- And Nadine Gelbart is Larry Gelbart's daughter.- Really?- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- Wow!- So it's almost like it was written that you would go out at the end of this round.- Yeah.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Thank you so much for coming back. - Thanks for having us.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05I'm sorry that we're saying goodbye to you so soon. Kirsty and Mike, worthy members of the 200 Club!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:07 > 0:20:11But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.
0:20:17 > 0:20:24There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will leave us at the end of this round.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27OK, our category for Round 2 is Film.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Can you decide who's going first, who's going second?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Our Round 2 question this afternoon concerns chart-topping movie stars.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46We'll show you six films on each pass. Each of these films has had a star in them
0:20:46 > 0:20:49who has had a UK No.1 single up to May 2011.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52We asked 100 people who that star was.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58A nice, obscure answer will score you fewer points. An incorrect answer will score you 100 points.
0:20:58 > 0:21:0112 films in all, 12 stars to get at home. Best of luck.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07OK, thank you very much. So we are looking for the stars of these films who have had UK No.1 singles.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Here's our first list.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I'll read those one more time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28OK, there are the six films.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Each of those films has a star in them
0:21:33 > 0:21:35who has had a UK No.1.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Cathy, you're going to try to find the most obscure one.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45I'd just be happy to find one! So I'm going to have a stab...
0:21:45 > 0:21:50and I'm going to say Madonna and Desperately Seeking Susan.
0:21:50 > 0:21:57Desperately Seeking Susan. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's only right!
0:22:01 > 0:22:0259!
0:22:02 > 0:22:09Not a bad score at all, Cathy. 59, for Madonna. Desperately Seeking Susan.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15- Well played, Cathy. Starred with Rosanna Arquette in that.- Thank you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19There we are. Now, Susan, what does that list look like?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Very good. I know three or four.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It's just a case of trying to find the pointless one.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Labyrinth. David Bowie.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's right.
0:22:38 > 0:22:4045.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4445. Labyrinth,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- David Bowie.- Yeah, another pretty big score, but a good answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50He plays the Goblin King, Jareth.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55There we are. OK, Andy, you are the last person to have this board.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01We are looking for the stars of these films who have had a number one in the UK.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It's not a bad board for me.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Wild Wild West I'm pretty sure is Will Smith,
0:23:10 > 0:23:15but I'm pretty sure I saw Kylie Minogue in Street Fighter.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'm going to go Kylie Minogue, Street Fighter.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Street Fighter, Kylie Minogue. Is it right? How many said it?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Very well done, Andy. It's a great answer.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Down it goes. Down, down, down. 14!
0:23:34 > 0:23:38The best score of the pass by a considerable margin. Richard?
0:23:38 > 0:23:45Very good answer, Andy. She plays Jean-Claude Van Damme's assistant, Cammy, in Street Fighter.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49If I were you I'd take my word and not watch it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:57Let's look at the rest of the board. Wild Wild West was Will Smith, it was 47. Fight Club?
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Do you know which number one artist it is? I couldn't get it. Meat Loaf.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Meat Loaf is in it. 6 points. And The Faculty is pointless.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- St Winifred's School Choir. - Solo artist.- Usher.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- It is Usher! How did you know that? - I...- It's a 1998 horror film
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- and Usher is in that. Well played. - Thank you. We're halfway through.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's take a look at the scores.
0:24:23 > 0:24:29Andy and Rob, look at that - 14! Then we go up to 45 to find Susan and Paul.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34And then we go up a little bit more and find Cathy and Annie languishing on 59.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40Annie, let's have a lovely obscure answer from you in the next pass to save your bacon.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Can the second players please take their place at the podium?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52OK, we'll put six more films on the board. And here they come.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54HE READS THE LIST
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Let me read those one more time.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12We're looking for the stars who had had a solo number one UK hit.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16You want the one the fewest people knew, but you knew that, Rob.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21- It's an awful category for me. - Is it?- My two weakest subjects.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- No! A confluence of your two biggest nightmares.- Yeah. But...
0:25:26 > 0:25:31I think I know that Eminem was in 8 Mile.
0:25:32 > 0:25:388 Mile, Eminem. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. The high scorers are on 59.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44You're on 14. If you can score 44 or less, you're through to the Head to Head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48There's your red line. Below that, you're through. Eminem, 8 Mile.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Is it right and how many people said it? ..It is right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5561!
0:25:56 > 0:25:5861. That takes your total up to 75.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Very exciting. It's all very close.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Biggest score yet, Rob, but a right answer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Eminem starred in it and won the Oscar for Best Song with Lose Yourself.
0:26:11 > 0:26:18OK, Paul, we are looking for the stars of these films who have had a number one hit
0:26:18 > 0:26:23in the UK. You are on 45. Rob and Andy are now on 75.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28If you can score 29 or less, you're in the next round.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Right. I'll try Buster and Phil Collins.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Buster and Phil Collins says Paul.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42There's your red line. Below that, you're through.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:5350!
0:26:54 > 0:26:5850 knew that film and they knew it starred Phil Collins.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03That takes your total up to 95. You are now the high scorers. Richard?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Another pretty big answer, but might see you through.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10He played Buster Edwards, the Great Train robber.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Great news for Rob and Andy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:20Annie and Cathy, you are on 59. The high scorers are now Paul and Susan on 95.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24If you can score 35 or less, Annie, 35 or less...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Sorry, Cathy!- ..we shall see you in the Head to Head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:35There's only one there that I know and I'm even not quite 100% sure that that's right.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41I know all the actresses in Witches of Eastwick, but I don't know any of them as singers.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47So I'm just going to go for GI Blues and say Elvis.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52GI Blues, Elvis, says Annie. Let's see if that's right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:59There's your red line. Below that and Elvis will see you through to the next round. ..It's right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Look at that!- No way!- Wow!
0:28:06 > 0:28:0815!
0:28:11 > 0:28:18- 15 people said GI Blues, Elvis. That takes your total up to 74. - I am flabbergasted.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You are through. Many congratulations. Richard?
0:28:21 > 0:28:29A lot of big scores, but Elvis is not one of them. Let's look at the rest. The three witches are
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Cher. Cher was the answer.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40It would have scored 32 points. Out of Sight is George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. That scored 4.
0:28:40 > 0:28:47The Last Samurai. It's a pointless answer. An absolute medal for anybody at home who got this.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Billy Connolly is the answer to that.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- What?!- Billy Connolly. He plays a former colleague of Tom Cruise.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03- He had a number one with D.I.V.O.R.C.E., 28 years before. - Wow.- If you got that,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I doff my imaginary cap to you.
0:29:06 > 0:29:13Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score is Paul and Susan.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17You played remarkably well. I'm sorry this is where we say goodbye,
0:29:17 > 0:29:22- but Paul and Susan, worthy members of the 200 Club, we salute you. - Thank you.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29For the remaining two pairs, we enter the Head to Head.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Very well done, Annie and Cathy, Andy and Rob.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42You've made it through to the Head to Head!
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Oh, happy day!
0:29:45 > 0:29:51Now only one pair can make it through to today's final and play for the jackpot of £2,250.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54ANNIE AND CATHY: Wooo!
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Now then, for each question, each pair gives me one answer,
0:29:59 > 0:30:04but you can now confer. Just come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Let's play Pointless.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:19 > 0:30:26to name as many sports represented by winners of BBC Sports Personality of the Year as they could.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32- Richard?- Any sport represented by any winner of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35from 1954 right through to 2010.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Annie and Cathy, you've played best so you get to go first.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46OK, so Annie and Cathy, what are you going to give me?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Boat racing.- Boat racing? OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Boat racing.
0:30:52 > 0:30:58We're not convinced that boat racing is a sport, so we will say rowing.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- I think we'll say rowing. - You're going to go with rowing.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06OK, we have boat racing... and we have rowing.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- That's what we meant!- OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10LAUGHTER
0:31:11 > 0:31:17Let's see if boat racing's right and, if it is, how many people said boat racing.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21No... Bad luck!
0:31:21 > 0:31:27I know what you meant! But I'm afraid it has to be an accurate answer.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Andy and Rob say rowing. Is that right and how many said it?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34It's right. That's all it had to be.
0:31:38 > 0:31:3918.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43That's a great answer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- After one question, Andy and Rob are ahead 1-0. Richard?- Well played.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54Couldn't accept boat racing. There's yachting, sailing, rowing. So Andy and Rob get the point.
0:31:54 > 0:32:01Let's look at all the answers. Figure skating - Torvill and Dean, Robin Cousins and John Curry.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Motorcycling - John Surtees, three points.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08David Broome won for show jumping, seven points. Snooker, nine.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Horse racing, 11 - AP McCoy won recently. Cycling, 12.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Eventing, 12 - Zara Phillips and the Princess Royal both won it.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Rowing, 18 - Steve Redgrave in 2000.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Golf, 19 - Dai Rees and Nick Faldo won for that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Swimming, 22 - Anita Lonsbrough.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Boxing, 23, and cricket, 25.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Formula 1, 25. Numerous winners for these.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39Rugby union, 26. Tennis, 29. Athletics, 29.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44- And football right at the top on 59.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Here is your second question. Annie and Cathy, you have to win it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Very, very best of luck. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:52 > 0:32:57to name as many countries that border India as they could.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Any of the six countries that share a land border with India.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05We mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Ok. Now then, Andy and Rob, you go first this time.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- We have an answer.- Yeah, we're going to go for Pakistan.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21Pakistan. OK, Pakistan. Annie and Cathy, you can now do your reasoning out loud if you like.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- Well...- Geography is, again, our worst subject ever.
0:33:29 > 0:33:36- I'm probably going to say something miles away, but we're going to say Kazakhstan.- Kazakhstan.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38OK, we have Pakistan and Kazakhstan.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46In the order they were given, Andy and Rob have said Pakistan. Let's see if that's right
0:33:46 > 0:33:50and how many people said it. ..It's right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Whoo!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It's right, but it's a high score.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Annie and Cathy have gone with Kazakhstan.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Let's see if it's right.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Ohh!
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Bad luck, Annie and Cathy! I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12which means, Andy and Rob, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Yes!
0:34:14 > 0:34:16APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Kazakhstan - an impressive sounding answer, but they're quite distant.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28They're about 1,000 miles apart.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34But that's not that far. Let's take a look at all six of the countries.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Some people will have all six. Burma shares a very small border.
0:34:39 > 0:34:46Bhutan, a small north-eastern border, 17. Nepal, that would have scored you 46.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51China, 47. Bangladesh, 48. And Pakistan right at the top, 88.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Very well done if you got all six.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59Thank you, Richard. Now the losing pair is Annie and Cathy! Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01You've done so well. So well.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Stormed it through and then, I'm afraid,
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- two categories that haven't really served you very well. - No.- No. Never mind.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Never mind, beautifully in unison.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17It's been lovely having you back. A real treat to see you again.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- You are worthy members of the 200 Club.- Thank you! Good luck.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29But for Andy and Rob, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £2,250.
0:35:34 > 0:35:41Now congratulations, Andy and Rob, you fought off all the competition and have one our Pointless trophy.
0:35:47 > 0:35:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. The jackpot stands at...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£2,250.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Now the rules are very simple.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06All you have to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10We've had one today. Find one more now and you go home with that money.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14First, choose a category from these three options.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Forget about Oscars.- Crime writers, I'd know a few, but not many.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- It depends what comes up, golf-wise. - Golf would be stronger...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Ah, no. LAUGHTER
0:36:31 > 0:36:36- How strong are you on crime writers? You're into your books.- Yeah, but...
0:36:36 > 0:36:41I can help you out slightly on golf, but you can't help on crime writers.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Yeah, go golf. No?- Oh...- Yeah?
0:36:46 > 0:36:52- Yeah, go golf. I only know the well-known crime writers. - We'll take a punt at golf.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:55 > 0:37:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many European Ryder Cup golfers as they could.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08- Richard?- Yes, specifically, we're looking for any golfer who has played for Europe in the Ryder Cup
0:37:08 > 0:37:13up to the 2010 tournament, but nobody from the UK or Ireland.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19Just European golfers. Not UK and Ireland. Anyone who represented Europe.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29All you need to win that £2,250 is for one to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Right, Sergio Garcia. - Miguel Jimenez.- That sounds good.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- I've never heard of him. - Sergio Garcia...- I'm out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Right. I'm not doing a lot better! - Sergio Garcia...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44European.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46European golfers.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52- Trying to go back a bit as well. - Ernie Els, is he Irish?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- He's South African.- Not European.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Em...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Come on, one more.- Em...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I've gone blank. Em...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09A Frenchman? French golfers?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- No.- Portuguese? Spanish?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Luxembourg? Belgium?
0:38:15 > 0:38:21- Bernhard Langer, Germany. - Right. Well, we've got three. - I think that's pretty much...
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Bernhard Langer.- Five seconds left.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31OK, there's your minute.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35We were looking for European Ryder Cup golfers.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- It's going to have to be those three! - I now need your three answers. - Sergio Garcia.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Sergio Garcia.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Miguel Jimenez.- Miguel Jimenez. - And we're going Bernhard Langer.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Bernhard Langer. OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Which is your best punt at a pointless answer?- Miguel Jimenez.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Which is your least likely punt?
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Sergio Garcia. - Sergio Garcia we shall put first.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Let's put them up in that order.
0:39:11 > 0:39:18- We were looking for European Ryder Cup golfers. This was your least confident answer.- Yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £2,250 jackpot.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28Let's see if Sergio Garcia is right and, if it is, how many people said Sergio Garcia.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30It's right.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34You were pretty sure it was right, but down it goes.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave with £2,250.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Down into the teens... Seven!
0:39:41 > 0:39:45If Garcia's there, we have a good chance.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50So, unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer,
0:39:50 > 0:39:56- but that was your obvious one. Seven points!- Yeah.- Only seven people remembered Sergio Garcia.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- There we are. This gives us grounds for hope.- It does, yeah.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Let us see what Bernhard Langer does for you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Bernhard Langer. You only have two more chances. Bernhard Langer is your next answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:17It has to be right and pointless. If it's both of those things, you leave here with £2,250.
0:40:17 > 0:40:23Sergio Garcia scored seven. Let us see where Bernhard Langer ends up.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Is it right? How many people said Bernhard Langer? Best of luck.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30It's right. It's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave with £2,250.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39Down into the 20s, the teens, down into... Oh, ho ho!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Nine.
0:40:44 > 0:40:52- So obviously not pointless. I think you'd be surprised if he was the pointless one.- Yeah.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- It's all waiting for Miguel Jimenez. - Come on, Jimenez!- Come on!
0:40:56 > 0:41:02Let's just find out. Miguel Jimenez. Everything hinges on him. £2,250.
0:41:02 > 0:41:09If it's right and pointless, that's what you leave with. Let's put it to the test. Miguel Jimenez.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It is right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17We've gone from seven up to nine. Miguel has to take it back down
0:41:17 > 0:41:22and if he does that you leave with £2,250.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Down into single figures... Oh, no!
0:41:24 > 0:41:25Aww!
0:41:30 > 0:41:37- Three cracking answers there. Think how pleased you'd be in normal play.- Not bad.
0:41:37 > 0:41:44- Brilliant.- A better performance this time round.- But you didn't find that pointless answer,
0:41:44 > 0:41:49so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250, but you do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Happy with that.- Cheers, thank you.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Sorry, guys. Thanks for coming back. You proved yourselves this time.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Great performance and three good answers. Miguel Angel Jimenez played in four Ryder Cups.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12Bernhard Langer played in ten. Sergio's played in six so far.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19A lot of Spaniards. Antonio Garrido, played in '79, he was pointless.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25His son, Ignacio Garrido, played in '97. Jarmo Sandelin, the Swede, played in 1999.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Another man in '99 was Jean Van Der Velde. Jesper Parnevik,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34who introduced Tiger Woods to his wife. Good work, Jesper.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40Jose Maria Canizares. He played in four Ryder Cups, the Spaniard.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Jose Rivero, another Spaniard, Pierre Fulke played in one
0:42:44 > 0:42:48and Soren Hansen, the Dane, played in 2008. Manuel Pinero,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Costantino Rocca, the Italian, who scored a hole in one.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Very well done if you got one at home. Tough luck, guys.
0:42:57 > 0:43:03- You knew quite a few of those. - We just knew Jesper Parnevik, so... Yeah.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Not too disappointed there.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Well, that's good. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye,
0:43:09 > 0:43:13but it has been such good fun. You've been just brilliant.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17And worthy members of the 200 Club. Excellent.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26- So from this special 200th edition of Pointless, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
