0:00:16 > 0:00:19CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30and welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40We welcome back John and Kathy as our first pair on the show today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44You were here last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the final,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and this is their last chance. Remind us what happened.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Well, we're products of the Welsh comprehensive system,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and we got a question about the English public-school system.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57It was a disgrace. I have already written to my MP.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59LAUGHTER
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- You didn't do badly, though. - Got to the head-to-head, so...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05You did incredibly well, first time round the track.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Have you read any more novels since we last met?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Not since then, but I've read all the posters I've seen,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and the underneath of people's shoes,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- and the usual sort of stuff. - So this is verging on obsessive?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Yes, it is.- I see. - You should be heavily tattooed.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- That would be my advice. - How do you know I'm not?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26That's a very good question. LAUGHTER
0:01:26 > 0:01:29That's a very deft reply! Look at that!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Yeah. It's like you've been asked that before.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37You could tattoo all sorts of things. You'd always have something to read.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40John, what would you like to come up this afternoon?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Oh, Peter Gabriel songs?- You kept that very quiet last time round.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Well...- Peter Gabriel songs! He doesn't do that many, does he?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That's why I want it to come up. LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Welcome back. Great to have you back on the show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Next we welcome Roger and Christine. How do you two know each other?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We're married. We've been married for almost 30 years.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Many, many congratulations. Christine, what do you do?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- I'm a legal secretary. - And Roger?- I'm retired recently.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Have you taken up anything since retiring?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13No. I haven't had time yet. I'm still doing all the jobs
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- I've been putting off for the last 30 years.- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Are there any things you might take up?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24I used to fish when I was a boy. I thought I might take that up again.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Should you win the jackpot today,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29maybe your first stop should be at a fishing shop.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31That's a pretty decent idea. Thank you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm a great believer in buying all the kit,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- long before you ever start doing it. - LAUGHTER
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Even if you then never ever actually take the thing up.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44And what would you like to see come up this afternoon, Roger?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- What would be a great category for you?- Pop music,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51as long as it's not anything in the last 25, 30 years.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Christine, anything you'd particularly love to see?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I like history. I read a lot of historical novels,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- so things like that. - Well, we will see. Good luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Let's hope some of these things come up for you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Great to have you on the show. Next we welcome Lian and Vicki.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- How do you two know each other? - We're cousins.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12We're from Birmingham. Our mums are sisters,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17so we've been brought up really close together and we're like sisters.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- What do you do, Lian? - I'm a secretary for an estate agency
0:03:22 > 0:03:24that sells licensed premises.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- So, a lot of pub visits. - Sadly not for me, no.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Oh, really? - The agents. I'm just a secretary.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Vicki, how about you? - I work for a recruitment company.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm a team leader, so very busy.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK. What would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:03:40 > 0:03:45TV, films, anything sort of reality TV, celebrities.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- That would be great.- OK. Lian?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Er, cheesy '80s music I think would be...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Anything you'd hate to see come up, Vicki?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Um, politics, sport, anything like that.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59- OK.- Uh-oh.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02LAUGHTER
0:04:02 > 0:04:04That's going to be awkward.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07OK. Well, very best of luck to you. It's great to have you here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Finally we welcome back Dean and Michelle.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13You were also on the last show. This is your second chance
0:04:13 > 0:04:15to reach the final. Remind us how you did.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19We went out in the second round on a music question.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Yes.- We didn't do that bad,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25but the other contestants were just a little bit better.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Oh, dear. So what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Reality TV or celebrities, or...films.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36OK. Everybody wants television and films.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Dean, what are your hobbies? - I like going to the movies,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44playing badminton. I used to play for a pro paintball team
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- when I was younger and fitter. - A pro paintball team?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Yes.- What - you get paid to play paintball?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- In paint. - LAUGHTER
0:04:52 > 0:04:56And in return, you were sort of televised?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Sometimes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We once won the world five-man championship as well.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Who did we beat? The Germans? Say the Germans!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- LAUGHTER - Er, no, it wasn't the Germans.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10The Russians, I think. It was the Russians in the final.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15- That's better than beating Lithuania at Laser Quest.- Similar.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Or Eurovision.- Oh, you will never beat Lithuania at Laser Quest.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Never going to happen.- It's great to have you back on the show.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31He's a card-carrying member of the NUPF,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34the National Union Of Pointless Friends.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Hiya.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Well, now, Richard, how are you? - I'm very, very well. How are you?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I'm extremely well.- We've got two returning pairs today.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51John and Kathy did very well last time,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54but Dean and Michelle also did very well,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56so we've got two very strong returning pairs.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01It'll be tough for our two new pairs, although there is a bit of history,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and there's a TV-film crossover in round one.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14For a chance to win our jackpot, all our players need to do
0:06:14 > 0:06:17is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Right! Let's play Pointless.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and you cannot confer. The team with the highest score at the end
0:06:51 > 0:06:55will be eliminated. OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58..animation.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05THEY WHISPER
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:15 > 0:07:18to name as many cartoon cats and dogs as they could.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Cartoon cats and dogs. Richard?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The correct answers will all be cats and dogs from animated films
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- or TV series.- OK. Thanks very much.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30OK. John and Kathy, you all drew lots before the show,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36In this round, we will give you seven answers on the board
0:07:36 > 0:07:41in each pass. Our first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04and at least one is incorrect. Pick an incorrect one
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So, John, cartoon cats and dogs.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What do you think about this as a category?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Hmm... I know three of them, but not sure about the others,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21so I think I'm going to have to play it safe and go for Muttley.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25OK. You're going to go for Muttley, a safe option, you say.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Let's hope that's right. Let's see how many people said Muttley.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Very well done! 13. - APPLAUSE
0:08:39 > 0:08:42That's a great score for Muttley.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Richard?- Well played, John. Muttley was Dick Dastardly's sidekick.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50First appeared in Wacky Races, voiced by Don Messick,
0:08:50 > 0:08:55who also voiced Scooby Doo. Do that Scooby Doo impression you always do for us.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh, it's hilarious. You're going to like this.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, dear, oh, dear. I've never done one before...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07and I'm not going to start now. We are looking for cartoon cats and dogs, Roger.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09What do you think about that list?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14There are a lot of rather unfamiliar names there, I'm afraid.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Any familiar ones? - Yes, a couple, fortunately.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Um, I'm going to go for Snagglepuss.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Snagglepuss?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26OK. There we are. Three down. Snagglepuss, says Roger.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Wow, look at that! - CHEERING / APPLAUSE
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Very well done. That's a pointless answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Takes the total up to £2,250.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Most importantly, it scores you nothing.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Very well done. Richard, there's a clue in the name.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I can't believe it. No person said Snagglepuss?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03No person said Snagglepuss at all. Created in 1950.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06He's a pink mountain lion created by Hanna-Barbera.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Very well done, Roger. We now come to you, Vicki.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12We are looking for cartoon cats and dogs.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- OK.- One pointless answer has gone,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18but there is nothing to suggest that there mightn't be another one
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- lurking there.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24There's one obvious one, and I'm not sure whether to go for it
0:10:24 > 0:10:27or take a bit of a risk.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'm going to try Heathcliff. I'm not sure.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Heathcliff. Does it ring a bell at all?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Yeah, it rings a bell. - What do you think, Lian?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think that's OK.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- OK. You have your cousin's blessing. - Thank you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Heathcliff. Good luck.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yes! Very well done, Vicki.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Oh, very well done! Five points for Heathcliff.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59That's a great answer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Richard?- Yeah. Well done, Vicki.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05From the Heathcliff And Dingbat show. He's voiced by Mel Blanc,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- who did Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. - Very good. Thank you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Michelle, you're the last person to have this list.- Yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- What are you thinking? - Well, I'm thinking
0:11:15 > 0:11:18that because Top Cat has the word "cat" in it,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21that it'll probably be quite high,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24so even though I don't know any of the other ones,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I think I'm just going to take a punt,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- so I'll go for Lecomber. - Lecomber.- Fingers crossed, yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33OK, Lecomber. Let's see if it's right,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and if it is, how many people said Lecomber.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Very best of luck, Michelle.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- SHE GROANS - Oh, no!
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Unfortunately, Lecomber is an incorrect answer,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Sorry. Richard.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Sorry, Michelle. Ray Lecomber was a Welsh electrician
0:11:52 > 0:11:56named "The Cat" by the media when he died and came back to life nine times.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Let's take a look at what you should have said.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Top Cat was a right answer. Fairly hefty score, though, of 56.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You should have said Bonkers. Bonkers is a pointless answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Bonkers D Bobcat, of the Toon Division of the Hollywood Police.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And Chandi... Do you think that's an incorrect or pointless answer?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- I'm going to say incorrect. - You are right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Chandi was the dancing dog from the 2010 Britain's Got Talent finals.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Tina and Chandi. So it's a real dog.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33OK. Let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37What a spread we have! Everything from Roger and Christine on nothing,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40right the way up via Vicki and Lian on five,
0:12:40 > 0:12:45John and Kathy on 13, to Michelle and Dean on 100.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It's a wide field.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56We're going to put seven more answers on the bard.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59We are looking for cartoon cats and dogs, and here we have got...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Again, at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and at least one of those answers is incorrect,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and you'll score 100 points.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So, Dean, you're the high scorers on 100,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27by a long way.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Your nearest rivals are Kathy and John on 13.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Remember, we are looking for cartoon cats and dogs.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38OK. I'm going to have to take a wild stab.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I know a few of them, but they're going to be quite high.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- I'm going to go for Misty Malarky. - Michelle likes that.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- It's a wild guess. - Misty Malarky's a wild guess.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Let's hope it's correct, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Misty Malarky. No red line for you. You are the high scorers.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58OK.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Oh!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Bad luck!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Bad luck! Unfortunately, that is an incorrect answer,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:14:09 > 0:14:10taking your total up to
0:14:10 > 0:14:13an unbeatable but rather impressive 200.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Richard?- Sorry, Dean.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Misty Malarky Ying Yang is the name of a cat
0:14:18 > 0:14:22who used to live in the White House. Jimmy Carter's daughter owned it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's the longest-named pet ever to live in the White House,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28in case you were wondering about the answer to that question.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34"I wonder what the longest-named pet who ever lived in the White House was?" It was Misty Malarky Ying Yang.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38OK. Lian, the great news is, Dean and Michelle, I'm afraid,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41are such high scorers
0:14:41 > 0:14:44that nobody else will overtake their high score,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47so they will be leaving us, which means everybody else
0:14:47 > 0:14:52has free swim. Now, remember, we are looking for cartoon cats and dogs.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Let's see if we can't truffle out those pointless answers
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and add some more money to the jackpot.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Um...
0:15:00 > 0:15:06I am thinking that hopefully not many adults will watch The Simpsons,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09so I'm going to say Santa's Little Helper.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Santa's Little Helper, you are saying - the dog from the Simpsons.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Santa's Little Helper.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It's right.
0:15:25 > 0:15:2717.
0:15:29 > 0:15:3217, that scored you, taking your total up to 22. Richard?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Yeah, good answer. Santa's Little Helper is a greyhound
0:15:35 > 0:15:37who's adopted by Bart Simpson.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39There we are. Now, Christine,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44you are on nothing, thanks to Roger's brilliant Snagglepuss answer
0:15:44 > 0:15:48in the first pass. As I said to Lian,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think I'm going to go for Custard.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58OK. You're saying Custard. Let's see if that's right,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and if it is, how many people said Custard.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Three for Custard!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Very well done. That takes your total up to three.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Yeah, well played. Custard is the sneaky, slothful cat
0:16:20 > 0:16:22from Roobarb And Custard,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25narrated by Richard Briers, of course.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Indeed. Now, then, Kathy, you're the last person to have this board,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31so you can fill in the gaps for us.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34OK, Tom And Jerry... Tom's a cat.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Droopy the dog, he's a droopy dog.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Garfield's a cat.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So Pilchard...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'm going to say Pilchard. It's a brilliant name.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Let's see if it's correct, and if it is, how many people said Pilchard.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54It's right! Very well done, Kathy.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I think you might have found the one we were looking for.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Yes, you have!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Very well done indeed!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04That's a pointless answer.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:17:06 > 0:17:11and it takes the total up to £2,500. It scores you nothing,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15and it leaves your score at 13. Very, very well done indeed.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Richard?- Well played, Kathy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Great way to finish the round. It is a cat.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Lives in a construction office in Bob The Builder.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Let's take a look at the rest. You were exactly right on all of them.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Tom is from Tom And Jerry. Would have scored you 69 points.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Garfield, also a cat, would have scored you 48 points,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36and Droopy the dog would have scored you four,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40so Pilchard the best answer. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Thanks very much, Richard. The losing pair with the highest score,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm afraid it's Dean and Michelle!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Not bad. - You are joining our august 200 Club.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, worth doing.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57It really is worth doing. We treasure our 200 Clubbers.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's been fabulous having you back on the show.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I can't believe we have to say goodbye to you. It seems unjust.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But with answers like Misty Malarky and Lecomber,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10what can we expect? Oh, dear. But you've been brilliant contestants.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Thank you.- Thank you for playing. Dean and Michelle. Fantastic.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28There's only room for two pairs on the head-to-head,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31so one team's going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Our category for round two this afternoon is British history.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41THEY WHISPER
0:18:41 > 0:18:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK. Our round two question concerns...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Historical events and their prime ministers.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Richard.- Yeah. A pretty tough round, but some people at home
0:18:59 > 0:19:03will absolutely ace this. We'll show you six events on each pass.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05We asked 100 people who was British prime minister
0:19:05 > 0:19:08when these events occurred. If you give us an obscure answer
0:19:08 > 0:19:11you'll score fewer points. A wrong answer, though,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14will give 100 points. So 12 events, 12 prime ministers to guess.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Very best of luck, everybody.- We are looking for the prime ministers
0:19:19 > 0:19:22at the time of these events, and we have got...
0:19:53 > 0:19:57There we are. There are our historical events.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00We just need you, John,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04to start off by supplying the most obscure prime minister
0:20:04 > 0:20:07you can find from one of those events.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11There's a few I'm not sure on.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'm not 100 percent sure on the answer I'm going to give,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18but I'm going to go for Mandela elected president of South Africa,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- and I'm going to say John Major. - John Major,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23for Mandela's election as the South African president.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29let's see how many people knew that answer. Mandela, John Major.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It's right!
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Very well done. Down to 15 that goes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Looks like a pretty decent score to me. Richard?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Very well played, John. Very good start to the round.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Exactly right.- Christine...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53There's a couple. I'm going to go a little further back
0:20:53 > 0:20:58and I'm going for the Suez Crisis, and I think it was Anthony Eden.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Anthony Eden for the Suez Crisis. Let's see if it's right,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Anthony Eden, Suez.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- 17! - APPLAUSE
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Another pretty decent score. Richard.- Well played, Christine.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- From 1956. Ended up having to resign. - OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Now, then, Vicki, you are the last person to have this board,
0:21:27 > 0:21:32so if you like you can talk us through it and fill in the missing prime ministers.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I wish I could talk through it!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36There's only one on there that I'd know,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Britain declares war on Nazi Germany, and that's Winston Churchill.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42OK. You're saying Winston Churchill
0:21:42 > 0:21:46for Britain declares war on Nazi Germany.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Good luck, Vicki.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Oh! SHE LAUGHS
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Ooh, bad luck! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- I'm sorry. Richard? - Yeah. Sorry, Vicki.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Britain declares war on Nazi Germany was Neville Chamberlain, 16 points.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16HE READS BOARD
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Stanley Baldwin was a good answer. Introduction of the state pension
0:22:27 > 0:22:31is a pointless answer. Well done at home if you said Herbert Asquith.
0:22:31 > 0:22:331908, that was. So that's the best answer on the board,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and very well done if you got all six of them.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Thank you very much, Richard. OK, let's take a look at the scores
0:22:40 > 0:22:43at this early stage. John and Kathy, you're on 15,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46as it turns out, the best score of the pass,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50then 17 for Christine and Roger, and then way, way up to 100,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'm afraid, for Vicki and Lian. So, yes, Lian,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57we need some great historical pointless knowledge from you
0:22:57 > 0:23:00in the next pass to save your bacon for the next round.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10We're going to put six more events on the board,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and here they are. We have got...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Remember, we are looking for the prime ministers
0:23:37 > 0:23:41who were around at the time of these events,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and you're trying to find the most obscure one,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Lian, what's that board look like to you?- Pretty bad!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52My history's not very good.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm struggling a bit, but I'm going to take a guess
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and say the Falklands War, and Margaret Thatcher.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Margaret Thatcher. Let's see if that's right,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and how many people said it. You are the high scorers,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07so there's no red line for you, I'm afraid.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10You hope you're going to score as few points as possible.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Margaret Thatcher. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Yes, it's right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:1966.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm afraid that is, er... That's a very high score,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and it takes your total up to 166,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which I'm afraid is an unbeatable high score. Richard?
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Yeah. Correct answer, though. From 1982, the Falklands conflict.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then, Roger,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42we are looking for the British prime ministers
0:24:42 > 0:24:45at the time of these events. What are you thinking?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48The high scorers, Lian and Vicki on 166.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You're through to the head-to-head whatever happens.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- I'm thinking that's very fortunate. - OK.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I don't know any of those, to be honest.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Um...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02But I know about when the Profumo scandal was,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07and that...that might have been Alec Douglas-Home.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Alec Douglas-Home, you are saying. No red line for you.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14You are through already. Is that right, for the Profumo scandal,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and if it is, how many people said it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Ooh!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I thought that was right. Unfortunately, as it turns out,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27it's wrong, which mean you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31but it doesn't matter. You're through anyway. Richard?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Sorry, Roger. I won't give the answer in case Kathy wants a go at that.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Kathy, we are looking for the British prime ministers
0:25:38 > 0:25:41at the time of these events. Again, high scorers, 166,
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Lian and Vicki. You're through whatever happens.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I'm going to try the Profumo scandal,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52cos it stood out in my mind, and I think it was Harold Wilson.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Harold Wilson, you are saying, Profumo scandal.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Yikes!- Unfortunately that's an incorrect answer.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- takes your total to 115. Richard? - The good news for John Profumo is,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14his scandal appears to have been forgotten,
0:26:14 > 0:26:18so that's good. It was actually the predecessor of those two.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Before Wilson and Douglas-Home it was Harold Macmillan.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Would have scored you 12 points.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27HE READS BOARD
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The repeal of the Corn Laws was a pointless answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43That's Robert Peel. Well done if you got that at home,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47and well done to anyone who got 12. I suspect some people out there did.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Thanks. At the end of round two, the losing pair
0:26:49 > 0:26:52with the highest score is Lian and Vicki.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Bad luck. That was a very tough round, that one,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58if you didn't happen to know those events. History...
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Was that one of the subjects you were hoping wouldn't come up?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Yeah, definitely.- Oh, dear!
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Dear, oh, dear! Such a shame we have to say goodbye to you so soon,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12but we will see you again next time, when I'm sure we'll see more of you.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Thanks very much for playing, Lian and Vicki.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17APPLAUSE
0:27:17 > 0:27:23For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Very, very well done, Roger and Christine, John and Kathy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41which currently stands at £2,500.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:27:45 > 0:27:49For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51but you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair, and you win that question.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07OK, here is your first question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Pink Floyd albums
0:28:12 > 0:28:15as they could. Pink Floyd albums. Richard?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18We're looking for any studio album, including soundtracks,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21that has reached the UK top 40 for Pink Floyd
0:28:21 > 0:28:24before April 2011. We're not accepting compilation albums,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28greatest hits or wholly live albums, but any Pink Floyd album
0:28:28 > 0:28:31that's reached the UK top 40, please.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34OK. Roger and Christine, you've played best so far,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38so you get to go first. We are looking for Pink Floyd albums.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40THEY WHISPER
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- Roger and Christine? - We only know one.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- SHE LAUGHS - OK.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54So our answer is Another Brick In The Wall.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Another Brick In The Wall, you are saying.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59OK, John and Kathy. Do we have an answer?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- The Division Bell. - The Division Bell.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Good answer. We have Another Brick In The Wall
0:29:05 > 0:29:09and The Division Bell. Roger and Christine went first.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Another Brick In The Wall. Is that right?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14If it is, how many people said it?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Ooh, bad luck, Roger and Christine!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25which means, John and Kathy, you merely have to be correct.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27The Division Bell. Is it right?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Yep! Well done. You've won the point.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It's a nice low score. Look at that! Eight!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40That was a great answer.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Great answer. So, after the first question,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46John and Kathy are up one-nil. Richard?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Yeah, well played. From 1994. It was their last studio album.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52It was number one in the UK and the US.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Another Brick In The Wall was the single from the album,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57which is just The Wall, I'm afraid.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Let's take a look at all the answers.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03More and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason scored one.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Well done if you got either of those two at home.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08HE READS BOARD
0:30:13 > 0:30:15HE READS BOARD
0:30:18 > 0:30:20The two biggies at the top, The Wall with 43
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and The Dark Side Of The Moon, 47.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Between 1973 and 2009, that spent 374 weeks in the charts,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Dark Side Of The Moon. Never got to number one.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Peaked at number two. Number one in the States.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Wow! OK. Here is your second question. Roger and Christine,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:42 > 0:30:45to name as many River Nile countries as they could.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48River Nile countries. OK. Richard?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52We're looking for any country that contains any part of the Nile.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56That's the river basin or any of its main tributaries, please.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59OK, John and Kathy. You get to answer first this time.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01THEY WHISPER
0:31:03 > 0:31:05THEY WHISPER
0:31:08 > 0:31:10OK, John and Kathy. Do we have an answer?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- We're going to try Somalia.- Somalia?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16OK. Somalia, you are saying.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Roger and Christine... - THEY WHISPER
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Don't know.- We'll try Kenya.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Kenya. OK. So, we have Somalia and we have Kenya.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27John and Kathy have gone for Somalia.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Somalia.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Oh! Somalia an incorrect answer,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40which means, Roger and Christine, you only have to be right
0:31:40 > 0:31:42to win this question. You've said Kenya.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Kenya.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51It's right! That's all it had to be.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Wow! Lovely low score. Seven for Kenya.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03But it only had to be right, and it was,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06which means after two questions, you are one-all. Richard?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Yes. 4,000 miles long, the Nile, from its remotest headstream,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13which flows into Lake Victoria, up to the Mediterranean.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Flows through nine countries. Let's look at all of them.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18There's a couple of pointless answers.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Congo and Burundi, both pointless. Well done if you said those.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24HE READS BOARD
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Sudan on 42. That's obviously still a country, as of April 2011,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36and Egypt right at the top. Huge score, 93 points.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Well done if you got any of those low-scoring ones at home.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43OK. Here comes your third question. Whoever wins this
0:32:43 > 0:32:48goes through to the final. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:48 > 0:32:52to name as many finalists defeated by Roger Federer as they could.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Finalists defeated by Roger Federer. Richard?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Yeah. Any tennis player defeated by Federer in a Grand Slam final
0:32:58 > 0:33:02up to April 2011, and by Grand Slam we mean Wimbledon, US Open,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05French Open or Australian Open.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07OK, Roger and Christine.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11We are looking for players defeated by Roger Federer
0:33:11 > 0:33:13in a Grand Slam final, and you answer first.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Oh, you're on your own. - I'll go with Andy Murray.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19THEY WHISPER
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Can you think of anybody more obscure?- No.- Go on, then.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Right. We're going to go for Andy Murray.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Andy Murray, you are saying. OK. Andy Murray.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- John and Kathy?- Er, Rafa Nadal.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Rafa Nadal. OK. We have Andy Murray,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36we have Rafa Nada.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42If they're right, I would imagine they're both two popular choices.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Roger and Christine went for Andy Murray. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49and if it is, let's see how many people said Andy Murray.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- 44. - APPLAUSE
0:34:03 > 0:34:0644. John and Kathy have gone for Rafa Nadal.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09What do you think? Will that go lower than 44?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- No.- I don't know. - I think it's right, but...
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- I don't think it's going to go lower. - Let's find out. Rafa Nadal.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Is it right? How many people said it? Rafa Nadal.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24It's right.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Now, then... Oh, you've done it! Look at that! 41!
0:34:28 > 0:34:3041 for Rafa Nadal!
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Very, very close indeed, but Rafa Nadal just pips it,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41which means John and Kathy are through to the final two-one
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- after three questions. Richard? - Doesn't get much closer than that.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Federer beat Nadal in 2006 and 2007 Wimbledon finals.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Andy Murray's lost two, Australia and US Open.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Let's look at all the answers. There's a few pointless ones.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58The bottom three, all Australian Open defeats.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00HE READS BOARD
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Mark Philippoussis he beat at Wimbledon, one point.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Robin Soderling he beat in the French Open, would have scored two.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Lleyton Hewitt, in the US Open, would have scored three.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Andy Roddick he's beaten in four Grand Slam finals. Eight.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Andre Agassi he beat at the US Open, for 11.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Novak Djokovic would have scored you 12 points.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23He beat him in the 2007 US Open. Rafa Nadal, 41 points,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26and Andy Murray up at the top on 44. Well played, guys.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Good head-to-head from everybody.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Absolutely. Well, the losing pair, I'm afraid it's Roger and Christine,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36but...oh, that was a nail-biting head-to-head there.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Very, very exciting indeed. You've done fantastically well,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Roger and Christine. We will see you again next time, of course,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47when I'm sure you will do equally well, possibly even better.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- But thanks for playing. Brilliant contestants.- Thank you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE
0:35:52 > 0:35:55But for John and Kathy, it's now time for our Pointless final,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58and the chance to win our jackpot of £2,500.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Very, very well done. Congratulations, John and Kathy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08You've fought off all the competition
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19You now, however, have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:19 > 0:36:23and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:36:27 > 0:36:29The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33just find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave,
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We've had two pointless answers today.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Kathy, you gave us one of those with Pilchard in round one.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42You only need to find one more now, one more pointless answer,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44and you will go home with that money.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48First, though, choose a category from these three options.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Style icons, spy fiction, composers.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59JOHN AND KATHY LAUGH
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Right. Composers, limited knowledge.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Spy fiction...- Limited knowledge. - Limited knowledge.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- And style icons... - What's a style icon?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11I don't know. Could be anything - architecture or fashion, or...
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Yeah, let's go for style icons. - Style icons, yeah.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17By a process of elimination, style icons it has to be.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:21 > 0:37:26to name as many British Vogue's Best Dressed Women of 2010
0:37:26 > 0:37:30as they could. British Vogue's Best Dressed Women of 2010, Richard.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Any woman named in British Vogue's list
0:37:33 > 0:37:35of the 20 Best Dressed Women of 2010.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38That list announced in December 2010.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:42 > 0:37:44and all you need to win that £2,500
0:37:44 > 0:37:47is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50OK. Naomi.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53What about Sarah Jessica Parker? They love her.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- OK. - Any politicians you can think of?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59OK. Tess Daly, maybe, somebody like that?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Sportswomen...- Cheryl Cole.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Not best dressed.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05No. Jordan's not going to be on there.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08You've seen the red-carpet photographs.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13The woman who's in Orlando, the actress.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Oh, I don't know. - Tilda Swinton.- Yes.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Er, Tilda Swinton... - Gwyneth Paltrow.- Gwyneth Paltrow.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Blimey!- OK, there's a bunch there.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Um... What about It Girls, society girls?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I don't know any.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Um... Pippa Middleton.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Pippa Middleton. Excellent. - We'll go for her.- Five seconds.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Was it early for her? Was it before the wedding?- Yeah, it was.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43OK. Well, there is your minute up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48We were looking for British Vogue's Best Dressed Women of 2010.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Tilda Swinton.- Tilda Swinton.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Sarah Jessica Parker. - Sarah Jessica Parker.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Tess Daly. - Tess Daly. OK. Thank you very much.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Tilda Swinton.- Tilda Swinton.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- We put her last. We like her. - We like her.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Which is your least likely? - Tess Daly or Sarah Jessica Parker?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Tess Daly.- Tess Daly.- Tess Daly.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14OK. We'll put them up in that order, and here they are.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23We were looking for women named in British Vogue's Best Dressed list
0:39:23 > 0:39:27of 2010. You said this was your least confident answer.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £2,500 jackpot.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Let's see if Tess Daly is right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Tess Daly.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43Ooh! Unfortunately Tess Daly is not a pointless answer,
0:39:43 > 0:39:45not a correct answer.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51£2,500. What would you do with that?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I'd like to get a tree house built in the garden for my children.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Very good indeed. Wow, that would be a great tree house.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Make you very popular indeed. John, how about you?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I think I'm going to go the stereotype route -
0:40:03 > 0:40:07a debenture ticket at the Millennium Stadium.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Very good indeed.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13OK. Well, we are looking for women named
0:40:13 > 0:40:16in British Vogue's Best Dressed list 2010.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Sarah Jessica Parker.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23That's your second shot at that jackpot of £2,500.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Sarah Jessica Parker. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Sarah Jessica Parker. Good luck.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Ooh! Bad luck.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Also an incorrect answer. You only have one more chance
0:40:37 > 0:40:39to win today's jackpot.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- How confident are you feeling about Tilda Swinton?- Not at all!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- We don't know. - She always appears on red carpets.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49She's always nominated for BAFTAs and Oscars,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52always wears something quite eye-catching.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Always scrubs up well.- Always wears something quite eye-catching...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58LAUGHTER
0:41:00 > 0:41:03We are looking for women named in British Vogue's Best Dressed list
0:41:03 > 0:41:07of 2010. This is the answer you were most confident with.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11It is Tilda Swinton. It has to be correct and it has to be pointless
0:41:11 > 0:41:13for you to win that jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Very, very best of luck to you. Tilda Swinton. Is it right?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18How many people said it?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck!
0:41:31 > 0:41:33That was a very, very tough category,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37and you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500,
0:41:40 > 0:41:44which rolls over onto the next show. But you have been fantastic contestants,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so well done.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Richard?- Yeah, that was unlucky, John and Kathy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57You played so well across two shows. A tough finishing category.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Lots of big names that weren't pointless -
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, Keira Knightley,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05but there are a load of pointless answers as well,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07some of which are guessable, I think.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10See how well you did at home. Let's take a look at some of them.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Carey Mulligan, the Oscar-nominated actress,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Edie Campbell, a model, and Elisa Sednaoui,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18if that's how you pronounce it. She's also a model.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Josephine de la Baume, also a model,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Lara Stone, who married David Walliams.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Michelle Obama, one of the women on the list.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29She was pointless. Michelle Williams, the actress,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Olivia Palermo, the model,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the model and, more recently, actress.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- Did you know any of those? - Michelle Obama.- That's the only one.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- That's about the only one.- Yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48I didn't know what a style icon was. At least I know now.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50LAUGHTER There he is.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Was he not on the list? Oh, it was women.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And even then I nearly got on.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57THEY LAUGH
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04but it's been brilliant having you here. Thank you for playing.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Excellent contestants.- Thank you.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:43:11 > 0:43:14which means on the next show we will be playing for...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16£3,500.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- Join us then. See if someone can win it. Goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
