0:00:16 > 0:00:19CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:44First, welcome back, Scott and Marcus. This is your second appearance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Remind us how you did last time.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54We didn't do very well. We got to the second round but...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57tomorrow's another day, and we are ready.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- What are you hoping is going to come up?- Music.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- How about you, Marcus? - Serial killers.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- You never change, do you, Marcus? - LAUGHTER
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Scott, you're a singer.- Yeah. - What else do you like doing?
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Watching football. Armchair fan, unfortunately, with ticket prices.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- What's your team?- Man U.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Oh, Marcus!- A Manchester City fan.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- What a team! Fantastic! - LAUGHTER
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Marcus, what about you, when you're not reading serial killer books?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I'm doing bad impressions. - Doing bad impressions?- Yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Did I hear that you were a voiceover artist?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I did a few children's learning videos.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Usually, the robotic voice.- Can you do that without treating your voice?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47ROBOTIC VOICE: Hm! My microchips seem to have been fried!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Let's see if we can count to five! LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:54APPLAUSE
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Brilliant to have you back. Very best of luck.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Next, we welcome Dale and Mary. A new pair! Where are you from?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- We're from Milton Keynes. - How do you know each other?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Dale's my best friend. I met him 27 years ago.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I went to a gig, a rock band where my brother was the drummer.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Dale was the lead singer and I got a bit of groupie fever!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I grabbed him, eventually proposed and we've been married 20 years.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Well, many congratulations. What do you do, Dale?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Not a lot. No... - LAUGHTER
0:02:30 > 0:02:35In the daytime, I install ATMs. In the nighttime I write songs.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39The... The... The singers, the music.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We should put a band together, a super band!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44What would you play, Richard?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Keyboard.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Mary, what do you do? - I sell cruises.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53We worked on cruise ships for eight or nine years.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59- Now I sell them instead.- You've cruised everywhere. You now know...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Except the Antarctic. - We haven't done the Antarctic - yet.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's brilliant having you on the show. Best of luck.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Welcome back, Stuart and Jono, the stars of the last show, albeit for just the first round.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Yeah. We didn't have the best round. - No. Birds of prey.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17What would you like to come up?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- A bit of music. What do you want? - Maybe sport, geography, music.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Cricket.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- You said last time.- Yeah. - I don't like cricket. Not really.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- # I don't like cricket... # - Your band, The Great Gatsby, do you do a cover of that?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- I think we should.- Now, we should. And we want two new members!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Oh, hang on! Richard's in as well? - Keyboard!
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We think Father And Son might work well as well!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49LAUGHTER
0:03:49 > 0:03:53You... You don't look anything like Richard!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Shall we have a little close-up?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- No!- No.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01No. You can just have my opinion.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, very best of luck.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Next we welcome, finally, Hayley and Daryl. How do you know each other?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We're twins - for 22 very long years!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Hang on! "Very long years"? Daryl, that's hardly fair.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- It's a little bit harsh. - They've been fun.- It's interesting.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- But the twinkling of an eye. - Yeah.- Huh!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Hayley, what would you love to see come up this afternoon?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Um... TV, but mostly Charmed or ER.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Disney. Huge Disney fan, we both are.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Daryl, how about you?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- I don't know.- CSI.- Yeah. We're TV fanatics, I imagine.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Yeah.- Yeah. - No, you're good at, um...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Oh, no. LAUGHTER
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You are gonna be brilliant on this show!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Absolutely fantastic. Welcome, and very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00There is only one person left to introduce.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06His knowledge is so vast, he only uses his laptop to play Dungeons & Dragons!
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- I WISH that were true. He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you, sir.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Should be a good show. A bit of proper knowledge needed in the first two questions.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31We've got two returning pairs. Neither of them got to the head-to-head last time.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- They'll want to put on a good show. Should be very close.- Very exciting.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43We're after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49To stay in the game, all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Right, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:22In the first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:06:25 > 0:06:32If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Our first category today is...
0:06:36 > 0:06:41..Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:50 > 0:06:55to name as many words ending in "..ult" as they could.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00We're looking for any word in the Oxford English Dictionary that ends U-L-T.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04No hyphenated words or proper nouns are allowed.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09So names of people or places, we won't accept those. Very best of luck at home as well.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Right, Scott and Marcus, you all drew lots and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19We are looking for words ending in "..ult", Scott.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23There's so many. The first one that came into my head I'm going with.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- "Insult".- "Insult".
0:07:26 > 0:07:30You're hoping to score as few points as possible with "insult".
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Let's see if it's right...! I think it is!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Let's see how many people said "insult".
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's right!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Not a bad score, Scott, to get the ball rolling. 22 for "insult".
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Richard.- A safe start, Scott.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57It's hard to define words. You know what "insult" means.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I take it as one that you even have to ask!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Thanks very much, Richard. So, Mary.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07We come to you. Words ending in "..ult".
0:08:07 > 0:08:10When you're standing here, they vanish from your head.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16- Don't they, just? - And now I've got one but I can't decide if it's spelt right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18But I'm going to go for it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21So I am going to say "moult".
0:08:21 > 0:08:27- "Moult".- As in a cat moulting. - Very good. Like what you've done there. "Moult".
0:08:27 > 0:08:31VERY good. Let's see how many people said "moult".
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Very well done, Mary.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Well played, Mary. The shedding of skin or feathers in an animal.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Jono, "..ult", that's what the word has to end in.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59I think I've got an all-right one. I can't be getting a wrong answer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I want to see that go down! I'm going to go with "fault".
0:09:03 > 0:09:05F-A-U-L-T.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Stu, if I get it wrong, I'll say, "It's not my fault."- "Fault".
0:09:10 > 0:09:13How many people said "fault"?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Well done.- Pretty big score, but not the 100 that you're used to!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- LAUGHTER - It's not. That's good, isn't it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36If Stuart says it as well, that'll be a double fault.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- AUDIENCE GROANS - Why don't you come up here and do it yourselves?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- So, Hayley, we come to you.- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51A word ending in "..ult". You've had lots of time to think about one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I did have three. One was "insult".
0:09:53 > 0:09:55One was "fault".
0:09:55 > 0:09:59So I'm left with my other one, which is "catapult".
0:09:59 > 0:10:01"Catapult"!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Daryl thinks that's hilarious. Hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Let's see how many people said "catapult".
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Very good. Down it goes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Very well done indeed!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21That's a great answer, Hayley.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Well played, Hayley. Best score of the round so far, "catapult".
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We're halfway through the round.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Let's take a look at the scores. Hayley, brilliant answer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36The lowest score at this stage.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Then we go up to Mary and Dale.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Up, then, to Scott and Marcus.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Jono, out ahead with "fault".
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57We are looking for words ending in "..ult".
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Daryl, didn't Hayley do well?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Yeah...- Oh, hang on! What's the reserve?
0:11:04 > 0:11:09I'm normally rubbish with words but I actually came up with a few.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I'm hoping I'll do just as well as Hayley. I'm hoping!
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- What's it going to be? - "Occult".
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- "Occult"?- Yes.- OK, "occult".
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You are on ten. You are the low-scorers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25The high-scorers are Stuart and Jono.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27If you can score 26 or less,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29you are through to the next round.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31There is your red line.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Below that, you are safe and home. "Occult".
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Let's see how many people said "occult".
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's right!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Very well done, Daryl!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- APPLAUSE - 13 for "occult".
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Takes your score up to 23.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You are through to the next round. Richard.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Well played both the twins. You can enjoy the rest of the round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Splendid. Now, Stuart, this is the moment.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06This is the moment
0:12:06 > 0:12:08where you have to shine.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- SIGHS - Yes.- You're the high-scorers.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yeah. Cheers, Jono(!)
0:12:13 > 0:12:15All my words have been said,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20but I thought of a last-minute one, which I think is pretty good.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm going to say "somersault".
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- AUDIENCE MURMURS - Listen to that murmur!
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Susurration of approval from the gathered company. "Somersault".
0:12:31 > 0:12:33How many people said it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's right!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Down it goes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Brilliant, Stuart!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46That was just what you needed!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48That scores one.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Takes your total to 38.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Very, very well done. Richard.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Very good answer and only one point!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59They must be head-over-heels with that!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- I am here ALL week! - You see? It is harder than it looks.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- CHUCKLES - Right, Dale.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13The high-scorers on 38 are Stuart and Jono.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17If you can score 24 or less with this answer,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21you are through to the next round.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23"Lult".
0:13:23 > 0:13:25"Lult". How do you spell that?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- L-U-L-T. - Is it a word you've used ever?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- No. But it sounds familiar. - LAUGHTER
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Oh, I REALLY hope it's a word, Dale! There's your red line.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45If you are below that red line, "lult" has won the day.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Let's see if "lult" is a word and, if it is, how many people
0:13:50 > 0:13:53have ever heard of it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck, Dale.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02I'm afraid that's a wrong answer. You score a maximum of 100 points.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- "Lult", Richard.- Can you believe it? Can you believe it's not?
0:14:07 > 0:14:13I think Scott and Marcus have been "lult" into a false sense of security by that!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Marcus, that was a lifeline.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- We all say thank you to Dale. - Thank you very much, Dale!
0:14:21 > 0:14:25You've had all this time to think of answers that other people have said.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Watching the football scores come in, City beating United, I'm going to go for "result".
0:14:30 > 0:14:32There's your red line.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37The high-scorers are Dale and Mary. You want to score 90 or less.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43That's what 90 or less looks like. "Result", how many people said it?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well done. You're through.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56That IS a result, enough to see you to the next round.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- Richard.- Well played, Marcus. Just had to keep it safe.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07It's the third highest scoring answer. "Fault" was second highest and "cult" was the highest of all.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I'm sure people at home would have got some.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19"Decult", which is "to hide". "Envault" is "to arch over".
0:15:19 > 0:15:24"Hydropult" is a garden water pump.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28"Jurisconsult" is someone you consult on judicial matters.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30"Kidult" is quite a new word.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34It means a sort of a teenager, another word for that.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Great word, "preantepenult", which means "the last but last but one".
0:15:39 > 0:15:43W would be the preantepenult of the alphabet.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47"Reassault" means "to assault again". That's tough!
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- You don't want to be reassaulted. "Leave me alone!"- No.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56"Unadult" and "unforgult", "someone who doesn't feel guilt".
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Presumably, somebody who reassaults you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Well, at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Dale and Mary.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Lult. Never mind. Maybe it'll become a word in honour of today, Dale.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17It's a great shame. This is absurd. You've only just joined us!
0:16:17 > 0:16:23The good news is we'll see you next time. Thanks very much for playing. You've been lovely contestants.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36There's only rom for two pairs in the head-to-head.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41One team will leave at the end of this round. Make sure it's not you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Our category for round two this afternoon is...chemistry.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51I see what you mean. It's like proper, old-fashioned learning.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Our round two question concerns...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07chemical elements and their symbols.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11You're not happy with that at all, Scott!
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- Richard.- I'm going to show you six chemical elements on each pass.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20We asked 100 people for the chemical symbols for those elements.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer scores 100.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29There's 12 for you to play along with at home.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35We are looking for the symbols of these chemical elements.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Here's our first list...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46..I'll read those again...
0:17:52 > 0:17:57So, Marcus, I know Scott's not happy about this. Are you any happier?
0:17:57 > 0:18:02No. I haven't got a clue, to be quite honest with you. Um...
0:18:02 > 0:18:06I have an inkling on one,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09but I don't think it's right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14So I'm going to go for lead and "Ph" I think, for some strange reason.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19"Ph" for lead. Let's see if it's right and, if it is,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23let's see how many people knew that answer - "Ph", lead.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28AUDIENCE GROANS
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Richard.- I won't give you the answer in case anyone wants a go at it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Stuart, we come to you.
0:18:42 > 0:18:49Yeah, um... I hate to say it. I'm actually quite glad Marcus got lead wrong because I think I know it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I think I'm going to go for "Pb".
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- "Pb" for lead?- Yeah. - OK, that's what you're saying.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59There is lead, three down.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many knew that answer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It's correct.
0:19:15 > 0:19:1739. "Pb", lead.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Well done, Stu. It's after the Latin for lead, which is "plumbum",
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- or "plumBUM", if you want to read it that way.- To have a laugh.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Very good. "PlumBUM", brilliant.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Daryl, we come to you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35You're the last person to have this table of elements.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I have a feeling in the back of my mind that argon is "Ar",
0:19:39 > 0:19:43because I know some others with A which aren't "Ar".
0:19:43 > 0:19:46LAUGHTER What?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'm not sure if calcium is "Cl" or not,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52so I'd like to go with argon and "Ar".
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Argon, "Ar".- Yeah.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Hayley, what do you think?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Honestly...! I think I knew calcium, but I don't know.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The whole twin thing wasn't quite working.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Apparently, she's going with argon. - Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13OK. You're going with argon, "Ar", let's see if that's right
0:20:13 > 0:20:17and, if it is, how many people knew that answer - argon, "Ar".
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's right!
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Yes!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28APPLAUSE
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Not a bad score!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34In the context, extremely good.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Yeah, the best answer we've had so far.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Hayley, if you had managed to get calcium across, what would you have said?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- "Ca"?- It's right, but would have scored a lot more points!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I know loads of people at home will be very good at this one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Calcium, "Ca", scored 54.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Mercury, which is "Hg", would have scored you 19 points.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Tin, which is "Sn", would have scored 11 points.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- The best answer on the board, do you know antimony?- Oh, come on!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Very well done if you said "Sb".
0:21:06 > 0:21:10It was a pointless answer, so a very good answer.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Daryl and Hayley looking very strong in this pretty impossible round.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Stuart and Jono, not bad at all.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Marcus and Scott,
0:21:24 > 0:21:30luckily, Scott is a chemist of no small importance(!)
0:21:30 > 0:21:32LAUGHTER
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41We're going to put six more chemical elements on the board.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43And we have got...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51..I'll read those one more time...
0:21:56 > 0:22:01..We're looking for the chemical symbols that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Hayley, didn't Daryl do well?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Amazing! I didn't even know she knew argon!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Come on, Hayley. Dazzle us!
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I'm going to play it safe and I'm going to go for...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18silver, which is "Ag". I think.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21You're saying "Ag", silver.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Yes.- There is your red line.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Let's see if it's right. "Ag", how many people said it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Well done! You're through!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Not a bad score. Takes your total up to 67.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Very well played, Hayley.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51"Ag", silver. It's from "argentum", which is the Latin for silver.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- It's where we get Argentina as well. - Very good. Now then, Jono.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59We are looking for the chemical symbols of these elements.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Do you know what? Chemistry is like the worst subject to come up for me.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I'm trying to go back to year seven.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13I had my periodic table out, but I think I was drawing on it so I don't really know.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I'm going to have to guess, and I apologise to Stu cos it is a guess.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22I'm going to go with silicon and go "Sc"?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Silicon, "Sc". - Yeah. Let's go for that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29There's your red line. Ah! Silicon, "Sc".
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Is that right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Bad luck, Jono.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer and you score 100 points.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Takes your score up to 139.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47That's a lifeline for Scott and Marcus.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Is it enough, though? Richard.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55I won't say what the answer is, in case Scott wants a go at that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59OK, Scott, the high-scorers are now Jono and Stuart.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05You are on 100. If you can score 38 or less, you are home and dry.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- LAUGHING:- What do you think?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11You're the last person to have this board, so talk us through it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Can I just cry instead? This is definitely a poor subject for me.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22For one reason, I've got one sticking out and I don't know why,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27because I'm sure it's wrong, but I'm going to go with gold, "Ai".
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- "Ai"?- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34There's your red line. Below that, you stay in the game.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Let's see if it's right. "Ai", gold. How many people said it, if it is?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ooh! Bad luck!
0:24:42 > 0:24:48"Ai" is incorrect, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53That takes your total up to an unbeatable 200. Jono and Stuart!
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Great answer! He's done well! - Richard.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Sorry, Scott. You were one vowel away from the head-to-head.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04"Au", so thinking along the right lines.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08"Au" would have scored 38 points.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Silicon, "Si", would have scored you 25 points.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Sodium, which is "Na", a slightly bigger score, that's 37.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Platinum, "Pt", 15 points. And gadolinium,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25the best answer on the board, very well done at home if you said "Gd".
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Would have scored you seven points for gadolinium.
0:25:29 > 0:25:37So, at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Scott and Marcus.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Both of you hung your heads when this question came up.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- And I now see why! What a shame! - LAUGHTER
0:25:44 > 0:25:50You've been excellent contestants. Thanks very much for playing.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56For the remaining pairs, things are getting even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Well done, Hayley and Daryl, Stuart and Jono, you made it to the head-to-head.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12Obviously, only one pair can get through to today's final and play for the jackpot,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14which currently stands at...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Now you go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Each pair gives me just one answer, but you are allowed to confer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Score less than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37The first pair to the best of three will play for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Here is your first question.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:26:53 > 0:26:55..as they could.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Any feature film for cinema release in the UK between the start of 2000
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and the end of 2009 for which Kate Winslet received an acting credit.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10As always, no short films, TV films, documentaries or uncredited appearances.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14But voice appearances do count. Very best of luck.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Hayley and Daryl, cos you played best so far, you get to go first.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23We are looking for Kate Winslet films of the noughties.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25ALL WHISPER
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- OK?- Yeah.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- We have an answer?- We think so.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- We know so! We have an answer. - Hayley knows so, anyway!
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Ha ha ha! Get your insurance in, Daryl! Very good.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Hayley, what do you think? - I think we're...we, us...
0:27:41 > 0:27:44are going to go with Enigma.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Enigma has gone, Stuart and Jono, if that's what you were thinking of.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It's not really our strongest subject!
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Hang on! That's what you say ALL the time!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58It's cos we're stupid!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We're going to go for The Holiday.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- The Holiday.- Yeah.- OK. We have Enigma. We have The Holiday.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Hayley and Daryl, Enigma. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Enigma.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Yes, it's right, Daryl!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Very good indeed!
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Not just right, but fantastically low-scoring.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Stuart and Jono have gone for The Holiday. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Another low answer...
0:28:48 > 0:28:50APPLAUSE
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Very well done both pairs. Two good low scores but Enigma wins it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Hayley and Daryl are up, one-nil.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Richard.- Well played Hayley. There are four pointless answers.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07The Fox And The Child, she was the narrator of that.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Flushed Away, the animated movie,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11she played Rita the rat.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Quills and All The King's Men, one point each.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20The Life Of David Gale with Kevin Spacey...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23..Christmas Carol The Movie scored three.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Finding Neverland about JM Barrie, five.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio, eight.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33There's The Holiday that she was in with Jude Law, Jack Black and Cameron Diaz.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, 13, and The Reader with 23.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Stuart and Jono, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Caribbean countries as they could.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Any country that lies in the Caribbean Sea.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01As always, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Countries with a Caribbean coastline don't count.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Just countries in the Caribbean Sea.
0:30:08 > 0:30:14Thanks very much, Richard. Stuart and Jono, you get to answer this time first.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17WHISPER Yeah. Go on.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Right.- OK, we have an answer.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Is this a strong category for you?
0:30:23 > 0:30:28I thought it would be, but... No. I know some but, um...
0:30:28 > 0:30:32I think we're going to go St Lucia.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36St Lucia. Stuart and Jono are saying St Lucia.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Hayley and Daryl, St Lucia has gone.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I didn't know it was!
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- It wasn't one of our answers. - You can talk out loud.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- We only had two. - And we don't know about one of them.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, but I don't know even if it's part of the Caribbean.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- So we think...- I want to go Jamaica. - Jamaica?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02- I think St Lucia's definitely right. - But if we go one each...- Go for it!
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- I want to go with Jamaica. - OK.- Please.- Jamaica?- Yes.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08We have Jamaica. We have St Lucia.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Stuart and Jono went with St Lucia. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It's right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:2322 for St Lucia.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's a pretty solid score, I think.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Jamaica. Are you confident, Hayley?
0:31:30 > 0:31:35I liked the other answer better, but Daryl wants to play it safe.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38She's boring like that. DARYL LAUGHS
0:31:38 > 0:31:42OK. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Jamaica.
0:31:46 > 0:31:4864 for Jamaica.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Right, but a high score.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54So, after two questions, you are even,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56on one-all. Richard.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Playing it a bit too safe! Trinidad and Tobago was correct.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Would have scored you 24. Still would have lost but very close.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Lots of people at home will have done well. Let's look at some answers.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13There's no pointless ones but some very low scorers...
0:32:23 > 0:32:26..Dominican Republic, 11. Haiti, 16.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28All of those would have won...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33..Trinidad and Tobago, 24...
0:32:35 > 0:32:40..Jamaica was certainly safe! It was way out on top with 64.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Here is your third question. Whoever wins this is through to the final
0:32:47 > 0:32:51and will be playing for that £3,500 jackpot.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:32:55 > 0:32:59U2 Top 40 albums as they could.
0:32:59 > 0:33:06We're looking for any studio album released by U2 that got into the UK Top 40 album charts before May 2011.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11No live albums, greatest hits albums or EPs. Just studio albums of U2.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Thank you very much.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Hayley and Daryl, you get to go first.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18WHISPER
0:33:18 > 0:33:22All right. Say that, then. That's fine.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- We have an answer.- Yeah.- Well...
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Come on, the pair! I've never seen less unanimity.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31We don't actually know any U2 songs.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Let alone albums.- We're going on the basis that a lot of groups
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- name an album after their... - After themselves.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40So we're going to go with U2.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43U2, U2.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Yes.- Yes.- You two! - GIGGLE
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Stuart and Jono, this could be your moment.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- Yes, we're happy.- It's music!- Yeah. We are quite happy with this.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I know, I'm pretty sure, a definite one.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59That's what we're going for.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03That is How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We have U2, U2 and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Let's see if either of those are right and how much they scored.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- U2, U2. This could be pointless. - Have faith.- You never know.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Is it correct and, if it is, how many people said U2, U2?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Oh! Bad luck!
0:34:28 > 0:34:33An incorrect answer. Stuart and Jono, you merely have to be correct.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, is it right? How many people said it?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Stuart and Jono are in the final.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's a nice low score as well.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Very well done.
0:34:47 > 0:34:53Eight is your score for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55So, after three questions,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Stuart and Jono are through to the final.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Yeah. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, very good answer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Their first album, Boy, only got to 52.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09So these are the ones that got in the Top 40...
0:35:09 > 0:35:13No Line On The Horizon was a Number One album.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18All That You Can't Leave Behind, another Number One album.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, another Number One...
0:35:23 > 0:35:28..Achtung Baby, never a Number One. It was a Number Two album.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30All of these were Number Ones...
0:35:33 > 0:35:37..The Joshua Tree right at the top on 36.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Hayley and Daryl.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- Yeah.- Oh, dear.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49You've done very well. You've stormed through the show.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Somehow! - LAUGHS
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Not very nice.- Thank you. - We did well!- We did very well.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01Yes. You have done very well. You managed to find argon, for example.
0:36:01 > 0:36:07You had some very tough rounds but you've somehow managed to find the answer.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Yes.- Apart from this one.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Yeah.- Apart from this one.
0:36:11 > 0:36:18It's good news for us because we will see you next time for your second shot at a Pointless final.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Meanwhile, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23APPLAUSE
0:36:25 > 0:36:31But for Stuart and Jono, it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,500!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:36:37 > 0:36:43Stuart and Jono, you fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:36:49 > 0:36:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £3,500.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00The rules are very, very simple.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10We haven't had any today. You only have to find one to go home with that money.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14First, you've got to choose a category from these three options...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Not politicians.- No! Comic strip books?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- No.- We're going to have to go with pop divas.- That's the least bad.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Maybe we can sneak a little pointless answer. Pop divas, yeah?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Yeah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Pop divas it is. Let's find out the question.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47..as they could. Richard.
0:37:47 > 0:37:53Any solo single released by Cher that's reached the UK Top 40, prior to May 2011.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57No remixes, collaborations or duets, such as those with Sonny Bono.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Double A sides, we'll accept two separate answers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Essentially, any Cher Top 40 British single. Very best of luck.
0:38:05 > 0:38:12You have up to a minute to come up with three answers. All you need is for one of them to be pointless.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Terrible for me.- I know a few.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- We've got that Believe song. - That's obvious.- Yeah. Believe.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26That one with little girls in the video. Can't think what it's called.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- I literally don't know anything. - What's it called?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32You don't know any other songs?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- No.- Aargh!
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Don't know anything about Cher. - I can't think either.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- It's the sort of thing you might know, something random. - I don't know.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Can you not think of anything? - What's that stupid song?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Little girls in it... In the video.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Um...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Argh!- Can't think of anything else?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Cher. Cher. Cher.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Can't think of anything, really.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Nothing springs to mind? Nothing. - Apart from Believe.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Believe! A stupid song, Believe!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Five seconds.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- It's not good, is it? - No. Believe's the only one we know.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Your time is up. I want three answers.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22We've got Believe. That's the one we know but that's quite obvious.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25That's not going to get a pointless.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Give It Away, we'll go for that.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- Believe, Give It Away.- That's a guess. The one about the eyes!
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Just put, um...
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Eyes.- Eyes.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38LAUGHTER
0:39:38 > 0:39:41So Believe, Give It Away and Eyes.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Believe's the one we know, but it's not pointless.- It doesn't matter.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- We'll say Believe's our best answer. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Shall we put Eyes first, maybe? - Put Eyes first. Yeah.- Ah!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Up they go in that order.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08We were looking for Cher UK Top 40 singles.
0:40:08 > 0:40:15This was your least confident answer. You only need one pointless to win that £3,500 jackpot.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Let's see, just in case, let's see if Eyes is a correct answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Eyes.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- Well, we knew. We knew.- We knew.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34Great shame, but we knew, didn't we, that wasn't a Cher single, so that's not a pointless answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36You have two more chances.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Your second answer, Give It Away, was this in the back of your head?
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Yeah. I don't know why. I just thought...- Give It Away.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50OK, we were looking for Cher UK Top 40 singles.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Let's hope nobody said your next answer and it is correct.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57If this is right and it goes down to pointless,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00you leave here with £3,500.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Give It Away. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:04 > 0:41:07AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:07 > 0:41:13- Bad luck!- We knew that was going to happen.- You have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16This we know is a Cher single.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Uniquely.- We know it is.
0:41:18 > 0:41:24- Everyone will say it.- Everyone in the audience can come on holiday with us if it's right.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Where will you take us? Shepherd's Bush?
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- It's lovely this time of year. - Oh! Won't knock it!
0:41:31 > 0:41:37This was the answer you had most faith in. This has to be pointless to win that jackpot, £3,500.
0:41:37 > 0:41:43Let's put ourselves out of our misery. Believe, is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Believe.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48There you are! It's right!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51That's the first and most difficult part.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55If this goes all the way to nothing, and it could...
0:41:58 > 0:42:00APPLAUSE We did our best!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Bad luck.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Unfortunately, that scored 20, so it wasn't pointless.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14You didn't find a pointless answer so you don't win the jackpot
0:42:14 > 0:42:17of £3,500, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22You have been fantastic contestants and you get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24APPLAUSE
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Richard.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Let's look at some of the pointless ones...
0:42:36 > 0:42:42..Love And Understanding, probably the most famous one on this list.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44One By One, that was pointless...
0:42:48 > 0:42:51..and her cover of The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56- The Music's No Good Without You. - Say goodbye to our holiday.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- She didn't sing that, did she? - LAUGHTER
0:42:59 > 0:43:06- I'm afraid we have to say goodbye. It's been fantastic having you on. - Thank you very much.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:10 > 0:43:16Nobody's won the jackpot and it rolls over to the next show, when we will be playing for...
0:43:18 > 0:43:20AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
