0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Welcome back, the Marks - Mark R and Mark W.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41You were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the final,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and this is your last chance. Remind us what happened.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, it would've all been OK. We were asked to name countries
0:00:47 > 0:00:51having X, Y or Z in them, and if we'd been asked the question
0:00:51 > 0:00:5330 years ago, we would've been fine.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56But we were naming countries that are no longer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58However, today's a new day.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01What's going to be a great subject for you, Mark R?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I don't know. Because of my job,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I think probably religion, but I've travelled a lot as well,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10so geography, maybe, despite the last time.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13For those who didn't see, Mark R is a church leader.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And Mark W, how about you?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Er, strong subject... Sport's a good subject,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23um, and potentially politics as well,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26because I'm very actively engaged in the local community.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I'm the youngest magistrate in Sheffield.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- You're a magistrate? - I'm engaged with my community,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- so politics is... - How long have you been on the bench?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- For about a year and a half now. - Wow!
0:01:37 > 0:01:41That's very impressive indeed. Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- It's great to have you back. - Thank you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Next we welcome back Linda and Dave. You were on the show last time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Remind us what happened to you. - We were doing quite well.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Got to the head-to-head. Never listened to my girlfriend here
0:01:54 > 0:01:56on geography, telling me to say Newcastle.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I put Northampton was a city.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yes.- I'll listen to her next time. - Dear, oh, dear!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- He didn't listen to you. - He didn't.- Listen to Linda!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08There's a slogan!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, what do you get up to in your spare time, Dave?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I sing in a punk-rock band called the Amazing Space Frogs.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- LAUGHTER - The Amazing Space Frogs?- Yeah!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- How long have you been doing that for?- On and off, 30-odd year!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Really? Right back from the time of punk rock?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The first group we ever supported was the Cure.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Really?- Threw 'em off the stage!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34They're multimillionaires now, and I work for the council.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36LAUGHTER Something went wrong!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Linda, what do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I like to go to karaoke, and I do follow the band
0:02:42 > 0:02:46when they are playing locally. Sometimes drive the band.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Started off as being a bit of a groupie. Now I'm a roadie!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51LAUGHTER
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What would be brilliant for you to come up this afternoon?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- I think the human body.- Ooh, we haven't had that for a while.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yes, human body would be great. Dave, how about you?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Cartoons!- Cartoons?- Kids' cartoons.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Or Gerry Anderson. - He's still a kid at heart.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Well, let's hope they all come up. It's great to have you back.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Thank you. - Next we welcome Marcus and Clint.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Where are you two from? - From the Brighton area.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Hove, actually, or Hangleton, really. - Or Mile Oak.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23LAUGHTER
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- It gets confusing.- This is a bit like a police interview.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Yeah, isn't it? There's something very dodgy going on there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Where are you really from, guys? - Mile Oak?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Hangleton? Brighton? Hove?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Ish. - LAUGHTER
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Marcus, what do you do?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I work for the Department for Work and Pensions,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47dealing with reviews and benefit claims, that sort of thing.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Very good indeed. And, Clint, you're in the same department?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53A different department, but that's where we met
0:03:53 > 0:03:57about 12 years ago. I attached myself onto him and didn't let go.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00LAUGHTER He struggled for a while, but, um...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Is that a fair assessment of how things worked, Marcus?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yeah. When I first met Clint, I found him actually quite irritating.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12But over the years I've got to know him a little bit bitter,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16got to go round with him a bit more, and now I find him irritating.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19LAUGHTER There's a huge amount of irony there,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- which he doesn't seem to get. - Yeah. Yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25What he's saying, Clint, is he adores you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27He'd be lost without you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- He should be someone I could look up to.- Well, he is.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Well, he isn't. - Oh, I see what you mean.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Suddenly it's turned into Brokeback Mountain.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37LAUGHTER
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well, very, very best of luck on the show.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44And finally we've got Avril and Gill.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- How do you two know each other? - We met in the local village pub.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51My brother used to take her to work, and he forgot one day
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and had to come back for her, and she came up to me
0:04:53 > 0:04:57and said, "Tell your brother not to forget me in the morning!"
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I said, "Well, who are you?"
0:04:59 > 0:05:01We went on holiday about ten days after that,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and we've been best mates ever since.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- How long ago was that?- 27 years.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Wow! Very good indeed! 27 years of friendship.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Will it survive Pointless, I wonder? - Don't think so!
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- Well, now. What do you do, Gill? - I am a customer advisor
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- for a supermarket. - And, Avril, how about you?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I'm starting a new job. - Oh, very good.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Yeah. In two days' time.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- What is it?- It's accounts,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- in a garage in Bristol. - Well, very, very best of luck.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And what better start to that new job
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- than to win the Pointless jackpot? - Wouldn't that be nice?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We'll find out more about all of you later.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44He prowls the Serengeti of knowledge,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48always ready to pounce on stray, obscure facts and figures.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Hiya!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58What a line-up we have today,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01is the polite way of putting it, I would say.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05We've got two returning pairs, both of whom did quite well.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Linda and Dave got to the head-to-head. They're a strong pair,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11and very well matched. The two Marks will want to go further,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14so I think it might be quite tough for our two new pairs,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18but should be a good show. Round two is one of those questions -
0:06:18 > 0:06:20when we ask what do people want to turn up,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23they always want musicals, and it never happens,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26but today it's happening, and, coincidentally,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30no-one has said musicals. I can never, ever please anybody.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Ah, well.- Ah, well.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36We put all of our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40but we were after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45For a chance to win our jackpot, our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50an answer none of our 100 people gave,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Nobody won the jackpot this time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01so today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Right! Let's play Pointless.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23The team with the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Our first category this afternoon is...fashion.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32THEY WHISPER
0:07:32 > 0:07:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Let's find out what the question is.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:42 > 0:07:46to name as many types of footwear as they could.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Richard?- The correct answers will all be types of shoe,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53boot or sandal. Um...pretty exciting stuff.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yeah!- Types of sandal...
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Whoa!- Everybody at home, are you up for this?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Yeah!- Everybody up for it? Little cup of sugary tea?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Footwear! Right, Mark and Mark...
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Mark and Mark, you all drew lots before the show,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12In this round, you will be delighted to hear,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16we will give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38At least one of those answers is pointless,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41but be very careful, because there is at least one incorrect answer,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45and if you pick it, you will score a maximum of 100 points.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Now, Mark W... - I recognise a few of those,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53but as I'm first on the money, I'm going to go for one
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm pretty sure is correct, which is mules.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Mules. There they are, one up from the bottom.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said mules.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- It's right.- That's a good start.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09THEY LAUGH
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Down it goes. Still going down.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- 11! - APPLAUSE
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Very solid, respectable score. 11 for mules.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Richard?- Well done, Mark. A backless shoe with a closed toe.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Becoming increasingly popular among men,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28apparently. A male mule.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31A mule sneaker.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33LAUGHTER Do you think?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Not for me.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38You like something with a bigger heel, don't you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- I like a court shoe. - LAUGHTER
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So, now, then, Linda,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47types of shoe. I think you might be rather a fan of footwear.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Not really. I like comfort.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm not going to pick the most obvious answer.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Ghillies. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think they are.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Very best of luck. Let's see if ghillies is right,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03and if it is, how many people said it. Ghillies.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well done! Very well done, Linda.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Down it comes! Very well done indeed!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:10:16 > 0:10:18That's a pointless.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21That means it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:10:21 > 0:10:26taking the total up to £2,500, and it scores you nothing, Linda.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Very well done. Richard? - Yeah, well done, Linda.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33It's an Irish dance shoe, a ghillie. LAUGHTER
0:10:33 > 0:10:36OK, Clint. We are looking for types of footwear.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Wonderful.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- I thought you'd like this. - I was hoping it would come up.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44THEY LAUGH
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Er...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Toying between a couple.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51All right, let's go for... We'll go for mukluks.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Mukluks. What do you think mukluks might be?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I'm hoping it's not some bizarre name you put up there
0:10:57 > 0:10:59just to make a mug out of somebody like me,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and that it is actually a pointless answer, or something very low.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Only one way to find out. Mukluks. Is it right, and if it is,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08how many people said it?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Very well done, Clint.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Mukluks. Let's see how far that goes down.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh! It's just like Marcus said. It's very good.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25That's pointless! It adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28taking the total up to £2,750.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- It scores you nothing. Richard? - Yeah, well done, Clint.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's a soft boot made of reindeer or sealskin.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then, Gill,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41you are the last person to have this board,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44so you can talk us through all the gaps.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, I know wellingtons is a boot.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And Chelsea's a cake,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52and, um...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I think I'll go with...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58..Derby.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- Derby.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05You're hoping to score as few points as possible
0:12:05 > 0:12:08with Derby. Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10let's see how many people said Derby.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- It's right!- Yes!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Down it goes! Oh! Very well done, Gill!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Phew!- That's a fantastic answer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Phew! It scores you one.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Very well played, Gill. Very well played, everybody.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34A very low-scoring round. Let's look at the rest of the answers.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Do you want to take a guess at what wellington would score?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I think it might even be up there in the three figures.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Could almost be. - Almost right. It's so close.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's 46. LAUGHTER
0:12:49 > 0:12:52How was that scoring 46?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56That would score more in "cities of New Zealand" than in this round.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58True.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02The Chelsea boot is a boot with an elasticated side panel.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Would have scored you a fairly low six,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08and a vachetta, which is a leather lining rather than a shoe itself,
0:13:08 > 0:13:09that was the incorrect answer.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12So very well done if you said mukluks or ghillies,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15and really well done if you knew what either of them were.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, we have drawing bottom scorers there,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Clint and Marcus and Linda and Dave on pointless answers. Brilliant.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Then we go up just one point to Gill and Avril,
0:13:31 > 0:13:35and then we go up quite a hike to 11, where the Marks are residing.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Who would have thought 11 would be the high score
0:13:38 > 0:13:42at the end of this pass? But it is, which means Mark R,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45you have your work cut out. We'll come back down the line.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54We're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We are looking for types of footwear, and here they are.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15At least one of those answers is pointless,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Pick an incorrect one and you'll score 100 points.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Now, Avril...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yeah. There's only two I don't know,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30but it's picking which one of the others
0:14:30 > 0:14:33is going to get the lowest score.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I think I'll go for espadrilles.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Espadrilles. OK, espadrilles.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44There is your red line. Below that red line, you are home and dry.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Is it right, and if it is, how many people said espadrilles?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's right.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00You've done it! Very well done!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well done! Two!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04APPLAUSE
0:15:04 > 0:15:07You have equalled the low score of Gill with one,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10taking your total up to two. That's a very impressive total.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14As famously worn by Don Johnson in Miami Vice - espadrilles.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Called espadrilles because they used to be made with esparto,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- which is a grass rope. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Marcus, you are on nothing.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The high scorers remain Mark and Mark.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28If you score ten or less with this answer,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31you are through to the next round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Somewhere in the depth of my knowledge,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'm sure there's a shoe called a winklepicker.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Have you ever worn such a thing?- No.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Oh, please!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oh, for you!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50There is your red line. Below that red line,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53you are through to the next round for sure.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Winklepicker. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's right!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06And you've done it!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Four!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Four for winklepicker takes your total up to four. Richard?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17A shoe with a long, pointed toe, popular in the 50s.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Dave, nobody has found the pointless answer on this pass.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Linda found a pointless answer with her ghillies.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I know! I was going to say espadrilles.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31When that went, I thought, "I'll go for winklepickers." That's gone.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm going to go for plimsolls.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Plimsolls. OK.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The high scorers remain Mark and Mark on 11.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You want to be scoring ten or less. There is your red line.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Let's see if plimsolls is right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's right.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Ooh!
0:16:57 > 0:17:0018!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- APPLAUSE - 18!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Oh, well!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09That takes your total up to 18. Is it enough, I wonder,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12to see you through to the next round?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Richard?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Just thinking how you would describe what a plimsoll is.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20It's a sandshoe. There's a Plimsoll line on a boat, isn't there?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23There is, and plimsolls are named after those lines
0:17:23 > 0:17:27because... You know the little line of rubber that binds the sole
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- to the upper? Looks like a Plimsoll. - Is that true?- Yeah!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Looks like a Plimsoll line? - Looks like a Plimsoll line.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's why you're watching Pointless.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Either that, or you've lost the batteries in your remote control again.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Now, then, Mark.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Linda and Dave are the high scorers now on 18.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47If you can score six or less, you are through to the next round,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- and we say goodbye to Dave and Linda.- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- Talk us through the board, Mark. - Well, I know that brogues are shoes
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and I know that moccasins are shoes.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01But I'm going to go...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06..for tanker.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I'm picturing rather a big shoe.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I'm hoping it's what people wear on tankers.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- LAUGHTER - There is your red line, Mark.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Is tanker right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- It's right!- Oh, yes!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Oh, very well done, Mark!
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Very well done. I think we know where this is going to. Yes, it is!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- CHEERING / APPLAUSE - That's a pointless answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Takes the total up to a nice round 3,000.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It scores you nothing, and leaves your total at 11.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Very well done indeed. Richard? - Well played. Chose the right one.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Not worn on tankers. They were originally worn on tanks,
0:18:51 > 0:18:55and they're a boot with no laces. Just got a leather strap.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01If you'd said moccasins, you'd have got through to the next round,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05because that would have scored five. You're right to avoid brogues.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09That would have scored 24 points, and, by a process of elimination,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Driscoll is the wrong answer.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16James Driscoll was the creator of the '80s animated TV series The Shoe People.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Remember The Shoe People? They had PC Boot, Trampy and Baby Bootee...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22who, of course, are now N-Dubz.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24LAUGHTER
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Thank you, Richard. At the end of round one,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32the losing pair with the highest score, it's Linda and Dave!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We have to say goodbye to you. This is your second chance.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39But thank you so much. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Thank you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Your category for round two this afternoon is...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03musicals!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And our round-two question concerns...
0:20:15 > 0:20:19songs and their musicals. Songs and their musicals, Richard.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We'll show you six songs on each pass.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25We asked 100 people, from which musical were these songs taken.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29The more obscure the answer, the fewer points you'll score,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31but an incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34There'll be 12 songs in all, 12 musicals to guess at home.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36We're looking for the original musical,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- not any parodies or musical satires. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44We are looking for the musicals from which these songs are taken.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Those are the songs. We are looking for their musicals.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You're looking for the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Now, Mark... - I'm going to go with Hakuna Matata
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and The Lion King.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Hakuna Matata, The Lion King, you're saying?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Let's see if that's right, and how many people knew it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28The Lion King. Yes, of course!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- 43! - APPLAUSE
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Quite a high score, but better than 100.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Richard?- Yes. Song by Timon and Pumbaa in The Lion King,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45a Swahili phrase meaning "no worries".
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Now, then, Marcus...
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I've got, um....
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I think there's four that I've got an idea of.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57However, I'm not that confident,
0:21:57 > 0:22:03so I'll play fairly safe and go for Any Dream Will Do,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:2024!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Good enough.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Absolutely right. Started as a pop cantata
0:22:31 > 0:22:34for St Paul's school choir in the '60s,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and went on to be an international smash.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Gill, you're the last person to have this selection of songs.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Supply us with any of the musicals that you can name.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- The only two I knew have gone.- Ah!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I think All That Jazz is Chicago,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53but I don't know.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Yeah. All That Jazz, Chicago.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59All That Jazz, Chicago. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Chicago.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13There we are. 33. Very, very well done, Gill.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18A score right in the middle of the two previous scores. Richard?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Well played. It's the opening number, sung by Velma Kelly.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome... Know that one?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Cabaret.- Cabaret. It's the opening song of that. 14 points.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Springtime For Hitler? - The Mel Brooks thing.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Um...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- The Producers! - The Producers. Well done.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Too Darn Hot is the best answer on the board, just one point here.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well done if you got it. Do you know that?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's from Kiss Me Kate.- Oh, it is! - Based on Taming Of The Shrew.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Very well done if you got that. Would have scored you one point.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Very good indeed. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:56 > 0:23:5924 is our bottom score.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Marcus and Clint looking very strong as a result of that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Then up to 33, where Gill and Avril are,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08then up to 43. Mark R,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12you're going to have to pull one out of the bag.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20We're going to put six more songs on the board. Here they are.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We are looking for the musicals in which these songs featured,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49and you want the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. Now, Avril,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53you're not looking... I wouldn't say you're looking thrilled.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56No, but there is one there, and I really, really know it,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00and I love the film of it, and I cannot think of the name!
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I can picture it. I can actually picture them singing it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm going to have to go for a different one.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Er, I'll go for Master Of The House in Oliver!
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Master Of The House and Oliver! - Oliver!
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Let's see if that's right, and how many people knew that answer.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20There is your red line, nice and low.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Master Of The House and Oliver!, says Avril.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Ooh!- Ooh...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Bad luck, Avril! - Sorry!- That's an incorrect answer,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36That takes your total up to 133.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Oh, there's a lifeline for Mark R, if ever I saw one!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Richard?- Yeah. Sorry, Avril. I won't give you the correct answer,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47just in case Clint or Mark want to have a go at the same one.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Thanks, Richard. Now, Clint, we're looking for the musicals
0:25:51 > 0:25:54in which these songs feature. The high scorers, on 133 -
0:25:54 > 0:25:58they're way out of your reach. Even if you score 100 points,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02you will not overtake Avril and Gill's high score.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So... So, that was a reprieve, was it?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- You must know some of these! - I know nothing about musicals,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11but bizarrely, I knew five of the list that went before.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16But here I was struggling, and just for three seconds I remembered it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19The Worst Pies In London, Sweeney Todd.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Sweeney Todd! Very well said. Let's see if that's right,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and if it is, how many people said it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28No red line, because you're already through. Sweeney Todd.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Very well done!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- 16! - APPLAUSE
0:26:39 > 0:26:4316 for Sweeney Todd. Takes your total up to 40.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Richard?- Well done, Clint.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48From 1979. That song sung by Mrs Lovett,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52who was played by Angela Lansbury in the original production.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Splendid. Now, Mark R, 43 is your current score.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01The high scorers, on 133, are Avril and Gill.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03If you can score 89 or less...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06you are through to the head-to-head.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- OK.- So, fill in the gaps for us.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Um, Glitter And Be Gay, I've got no idea.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Memory...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18is from Cats, I think.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21My Favourite Things is from The Sound Of Music.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25There Is Nothin' Like A Dame I feel I should know,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28but I can't remember it. I'm going to go with Master Of The House,
0:27:28 > 0:27:33because that's from my favourite musical, which is Les Miserables.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Les Miserables. Let's see if that's right.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You do have a red line. Below that red line,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41you are in the head-to-head, and you're saying Les Miserables.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It's right, and you are through.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Nine! It's a great score.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Nine takes your total up to 52.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Richard? - Yeah, very well played, Mark.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Still running in London after 25 years.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Over 10,000 performances. Isn't that amazing?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- It had very mixed reviews at first. - We went to see it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Did we?- I was furious!
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Oh, I remember! - No, it was before I knew you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- What? - This was just before I knew you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- You are kidding me. - Yeah. I must have been 16.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Well, who did you go with? LAUGHTER
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It was a couple of people I call Mum and Dad.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- THEY LAUGH - Caroline Quentin was in it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Was she? - Yeah! Who then played my screen wife
0:28:32 > 0:28:35on, er...in...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Life Begins.- Life Begins.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That's a bit...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Ah, we all remember that. ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- There you are. - When is that coming back?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- I'm afraid that's gone to the, er... - I used to love Life Begins.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Mike Bullen. Cracking show.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Let's fill in the rest of the board, shall we?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Memory, of course, is from Cats. Would have scored you 31 points.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02There Is Nothin' Like A Dame. Alexander, you can probably...
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- I have a feeling that's South Pacific.- It is. 22 points.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09My Favourite Things, from The Sound Of Music, would have scored you 37,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11and Glitter And Be Gay, that's a tough one.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14That's from a Leonard Bernstein musical.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Oh, is it?- Yeah. It's from Candide. It would have scored one point,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21so that's the best answer on the board. Well done if you said that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of round two,
0:29:24 > 0:29:28the losing pair with the highest score is Avril and Gill.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Oh, Avril, bad luck, bad luck!
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Master Of The House. You knew it was Les Miserables, didn't you?
0:29:34 > 0:29:38I did, but I was thinking of Nancy in, um...
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- in the pub scene in Oliver!, and - - Oom-Pah-Pah,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- is what you're thinking of. - But I knew the South Pacific one.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48That was the one that I really wanted to get.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50That was the one that I couldn't bring to mind.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Ah! You've done brilliantly, though. Thank you very much for playing.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Great contestants.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:29:57 > 0:30:03For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Well done, Marcus and Clint, Mark R and Mark W.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15You've made it to the head-to-head. Only one pair can reach the final
0:30:15 > 0:30:18and play for the jackpot, which, in case you've forgotten,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- currently stands at £3,000. - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:30:24 > 0:30:28For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31You are now allowed to confer. Find an answer that scores less
0:30:31 > 0:30:34than the other pair, and you will win that question.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Let's play Pointless.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50OK. Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:50 > 0:30:55to name as many 2011 Rugby League teams as they could.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58We're looking for any team who took part in the 2011 season
0:30:58 > 0:31:01of the Rugby Super League, please.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05OK. Now, then, Marcus and Clint, you've played best so far,
0:31:05 > 0:31:10so you get to answer first. We are looking for 2011 Rugby League teams.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Of all the sports! - THEY LAUGH
0:31:15 > 0:31:17THEY WHISPER
0:31:19 > 0:31:24OK. Marcus and Clint seem to have reached a kind of consensus.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27This is one of those things where, if I've got this wrong,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30he will remind me about it for the next 40 years.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33We'd probably do better if we couldn't confer.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Catalans.- You're going to say...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Catalans.- OK. Catalans.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41And the Marks.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44There is also Harlequins, but they've just joined...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Is that Union? - It's Rugby League as well.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50In 2011? Go for that. If that's definitely Rugby League...
0:31:50 > 0:31:53That's probably the least one, though.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- I'd be happy to go with Harlequins. - Go with Harlequins.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00OK. Harlequins. We have Catalans. We have Harlequins.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Marcus and Clint said Catalans. Let's see if that's right,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and if it is, how many people said Catalans.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Seven for Catalans!
0:32:22 > 0:32:26The Marks have gone with Harlequins.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Harlequins. Is it right,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31and will it go low enough, if it is right,
0:32:31 > 0:32:36to beat Catalans on seven? Let's find out. Harlequins.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41It's right! It's right.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Harlequins going down... Oh! 16.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Close, very close.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57But, after one question, Marcus and Clint are ahead one-nil. Richard?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Harlequins a very good answer. Previously London Broncos,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03but Catalans was a great answer.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06There's one answer that would have won you the point,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09a team that's based in Wrexham. It's Crusaders.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Well done if you said that at home.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15HE READS BOARD
0:33:29 > 0:33:32And Wigan Warriors up at the top on 35.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here is your second question.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39The Marks... You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:33:42 > 0:33:47to name as many Baldwin actors as they could.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Baldwin actors.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Looking for the first names of any of the four famous Baldwin brothers,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55all of whom became Hollywood actors.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Thank you very much, Richard. Baldwin brothers.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The Marks go first.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07OK. We only know... Well, I should know more than one,
0:34:07 > 0:34:12but I can only think of one, so we're going to go with Alec Baldwin.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Alec Baldwin. Marcus and Clint, over to you. Alec Baldwin has gone.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20I believe he's married to Courtney Cox, or was. Stephen Baldwin.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Stephen Baldwin.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26The Marks have gone for Alec Baldwin.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Alec Baldwin.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33It's right.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3663!
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Now, Marcus and Clint, you've said Stephen Baldwin.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48If this goes below 63, you are straight through to the final.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Stephen Baldwin. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58It's right. Yep! There it is. You're through.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Down it goes. 23. - APPLAUSE
0:35:06 > 0:35:0923, which means, after only two questions,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Marcus and Clint are through to the final two-nil.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Richard? - Yeah, well played, Marcus and Clint.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Not only is Courtney Cox not married to Stephen Baldwin,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20she's never been married to any of the Baldwin brothers,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23which is quite something, isn't it?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Let's look at all four answers. You got the two more obvious ones.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30There's Daniel, the only Baldwin brother not to have been nominated
0:35:30 > 0:35:33for a Razzie for Worst Actor. The other three all have.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36That would have scored you six. William or Billy Baldwin, 12,
0:35:36 > 0:35:41Stephen, who's in The Usual Suspects and Celebrity Big Brother, on 23,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44and Alec Baldwin on 63.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- I'm afraid it's Mark and Mark. - Films got us again.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Films got you again. Well, you made it to round two last time.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You've gone one round further this time,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01but you were up against Marcus and Clint.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04You had two fantastic answers there. So, yes, bad luck,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07but thanks very much for playing. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:36:11 > 0:36:13But for Marcus and Clint, it's now time for our final,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Congratulations, Marcus and Clint. You've fought off the competition
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:36:45 > 0:36:47The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55We've had three pointless answers on the show today.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59In fact, Clint, it was your mukluks that set the ball rolling
0:36:59 > 0:37:02back in round one, that exciting footwear round.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03- LAUGHTER - Cast your minds back.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06You only need one more pointless answer now,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09and you will leave here with that money.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12First, choose a category from these three options.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Composers is going to be, um, oldie stuff,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Tchaikovsky stuff that we don't know.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Spy fiction I don't know anything about. Do you?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Not particularly, no.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32And American rock... Not my speciality,
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- but it's music.- Spy fiction, you're not going to know...
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Spy fiction, I know nothing. It'll have to be American rock.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Yeah, yeah.- American rock.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46American rock. OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:48 > 0:37:54to name as many R.E.M. UK top 40 singles as they could.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- R.E.M. top 40 singles, Richard. - We're looking for any single release,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02or which had them as a named featured artist, which reached the UK top 40
0:38:02 > 0:38:05prior to April 2011, please.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12and all you need to win that £3,000 is for just one to be pointless.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- Your 60 seconds start now.- I don't think it's a pointless answer,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- but do you know any? - No. You just go.- Orange Crush.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- OK.- Er...
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Men On The Moon. Is it Men On The Moon?
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Maybe Man On The Moon. - I'm trying... Strange Currencies,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- What's The Frequency Kenneth... - Strange Currencies.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I think people are going to know these ones.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Oh, trying to... I've got loads of their singles!
0:38:39 > 0:38:43I've got about four of their albums. Top 40... It's a strange thing.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45They weren't big for a long time,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49then they had a load of singles, which everyone's going to know,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52and then they tailed off. I don't know any of the tailed-off stuff.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Stuff from the middle everyone else will know.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Strange Currencies, Orange Crush...
0:38:59 > 0:39:03What's The Frequency Kenneth... Everyone's going to know that.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Man On The Moon.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Strange Currencies...- Five seconds.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Orange Crush...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18There is the minute gone.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22OK, time's up. We were looking for R.E.M. top 40 singles.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I now need your three answers.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Um... What's The Frequency Kenneth. - What's The Frequency Kenneth.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Orange Crush.- Strange Currencies. - Strange Currencies.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- And Orange Crush.- Of those three, which is your best pop
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- at a pointless answer?- Orange Crush is the only chance we've got.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Orange Crush we'll put last. What's your least likely?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- What's The Frequency Kenneth. - What's The Frequency Kenneth,
0:39:46 > 0:39:50we shall put first. Let's put them up on the board in that order,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52and here they are.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59There they are.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer
0:40:01 > 0:40:05to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Let's discover how much our 100 people know about R.E.M.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Your least confident answer was What's The Frequency Kenneth.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15This has to be correct, and it has to go down to zero.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Let's find out. What's The Frequency Kenneth. Is it right?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22How many people said it?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27OK, this is your first shot at a pointless. It's right.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30What's The Frequency Kenneth, an R.E.M. top 40 single.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Down it goes. If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36you will leave here with £3,000. Into single figures! Seven.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:44OK. Not a pointless answer. Not a pointless answer.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47However, only seven of our 100 people
0:40:47 > 0:40:49got What's The Frequency Kenneth.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54So let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is Strange Currencies.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57We went down to seven with What's The Frequency Kenneth.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00This has to be correct, and it has to be pointless
0:41:00 > 0:41:02for you to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06What would you do with £3,000?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10I'm sure both our wives would find things to spend the money on,
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- so I doubt that we'll see any of it. - My missus has got anything...
0:41:14 > 0:41:16If we were lucky enough to win anything,
0:41:16 > 0:41:20she's got it all earmarked. I might be able to sneak £100 off.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22And I might get let out for a night down the pub.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24THEY LAUGH
0:41:24 > 0:41:28OK. £3,000 is hinging on your second answer, Strange Currencies.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31If this is right and goes down to zero,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34you will be leaving here with that £3,000 jackpot. Let's see.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Strange Currencies - is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Strange Currencies.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43It's right.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46It's right. This is your second shot at that jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49What's The Frequency Kenneth went down to seven.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Will this go down lower? Yes, it will!
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Down it goes! Yes!
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Yes! Yes!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- CHEERING / APPLAUSE - Very well done!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Very, very well done indeed.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07APPLAUSE
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Come here.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Oh, congratulations!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16You managed to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20which means you do go home with that jackpot of £3,000. Richard?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Strange Currencies was a very good answer indeed.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26A top-ten single from 1995, Strange Currencies.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Orange Crush would have scored you five points.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31There's another bunch of pointless answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Let's see if you got any of these at home.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Animal, which was on their Best Of album, Bittersweet Me,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40from New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Crush With Eyeliner was a pointless answer.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Electrolite was pointless, as was Electron Blue.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Imitation Of Life, another top-ten hit, was pointless.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Lotus, Radio Song and Tongue, all of those were pointless.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Leaving New York was pointless as well.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Well done if you got any of those at home, and well done, guys.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Very, very well deserved.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Fantastic. Thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Marcus and Clint, who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Very, very well done.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- on Pointless. Goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
