CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:00:150:00:18

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:230:00:26

Welcome to the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:260:00:30

-Let's meet today's players.

-APPLAUSE

0:00:300:00:36

-Welcome back, Elaine and Jan.

-Thank you.

-This is your second appearance.

0:00:360:00:41

Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.

0:00:410:00:44

-Remind us what happened last time.

-We got to the head-to-head.

0:00:440:00:48

We were beaten by very worthy opponents and it was very close.

0:00:480:00:53

It was very close indeed. Came down to countries with four letters.

0:00:530:00:57

We had Mali playing Oman. There's a match I'd watch!

0:00:570:01:01

Such fantastic players.

0:01:010:01:04

Very nearly in the final. What are you hoping's going to happen this afternoon?

0:01:040:01:09

We're hoping to get in the final!

0:01:090:01:11

What are you hoping will happen between now and then?

0:01:110:01:15

We're hoping not to get any answers completely wrong,

0:01:150:01:18

and we're hoping there are no more Welsh questions.

0:01:180:01:22

OK, any other weak spots in your knowledge, Elaine?

0:01:220:01:26

-Sports.

-Sports.

-Yeah.

0:01:260:01:29

-Just blanket sports?

-And pop music.

-Sport and pop music.

0:01:290:01:33

-And nature.

-Oh, hang on! Hang on a minute!

0:01:330:01:37

-And science.

-Sports, pop music, nature and science.

0:01:370:01:42

Right. OK. Very best of luck, Elaine and Jan. Next, we welcome Chris and Gaz.

0:01:420:01:49

You were also on last time. Remind us what happened.

0:01:490:01:52

We scored 200 points, unfortunately.

0:01:520:01:55

-There is no shame... Well, there's some shame.

-There is.

0:01:550:01:59

-Christian Bale.

-Shirley Bassey.

0:01:590:02:02

Oh! Who'd win in that fight?

0:02:020:02:04

-Christian Bale.

-Shirley Bassey? Come on!

0:02:040:02:08

A 75-year-old woman is going to lose to Christian Bale in a fight?

0:02:080:02:12

Christian Bale is always losing weight for films.

0:02:120:02:16

-He's got to be weak, weak as a puppy.

-LAUGHTER

0:02:160:02:20

Let's get it on. Unless Shirley's scared. Perhaps she's scared.

0:02:200:02:25

-Maybe Bale's a bit scared.

-I don't think he is.

0:02:250:02:29

Hold on. No. He's not scared.

0:02:290:02:31

-LAUGHTER

-He is bang up for it.

0:02:310:02:34

OK. Well, I'm looking forward to it. Chris and Gaz.

0:02:340:02:39

Bale and Bassey between them got you out of the show.

0:02:390:02:43

-What are you hoping's going to keep you in?

-A sport subject would be good. Maybe geography. Not science.

0:02:430:02:50

What are your interests, Gaz? You're both postmen.

0:02:500:02:53

Is there any time for you to pursue other interests?

0:02:530:02:57

Got all afternoon to go out and do stuff, shopping, cooking, pub quizzes with Chris.

0:02:570:03:02

-That's it, mainly.

-Enough to be going on there.

0:03:040:03:07

-The pub quiz covers all sorts of bases.

-It's a good night out.

0:03:070:03:12

Very best of luck to you. Please let's have you longer than the first round.

0:03:120:03:18

Next, we welcome Stephen and Stuart. How do you know each other?

0:03:180:03:21

Obviously, I'm the father. He's the son.

0:03:210:03:24

Obviously, you are the father. He is THE son.

0:03:240:03:29

-Where have you come from, Stephen?

-Preston in Lancashire.

-You too, Stuart?

0:03:290:03:34

-That's right.

-Stephen, what would you like to see come up?

0:03:340:03:38

Pop music of the '60s and '70s.

0:03:380:03:41

Films from the '60s and '70s would be a strong subject for me.

0:03:410:03:45

-A bit of geography.

-Stuart, what about you?

0:03:450:03:49

I more like the '80s music, closet fan.

0:03:490:03:51

This "closet" word. You're implying there's some sort of shame to knowing about '80s music.

0:03:510:03:57

-Some say there's shame to liking Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet.

-Nothing wrong with Spandau Ballet.

0:03:570:04:03

-No shame.

-I'd even answer a Bucks Fizz if I had to.

0:04:030:04:06

Some shame is beginning to attach itself to your '80s music interest.

0:04:060:04:11

-OK. I'll stop there.

-Yeah. Stop there.

0:04:110:04:14

Stephen, what are your interests?

0:04:140:04:17

I like going out with the wife and our cocker spaniel.

0:04:170:04:20

-We do play table tennis a lot, me and my dad.

-A bit of...?

-Yes.

0:04:200:04:25

-Yeah. Going on from before. Very competitive.

-Oman, Mali.

0:04:250:04:29

-Who do you fancy in that?

-If Mali's the better team, he's Mali.

0:04:290:04:34

-OK.

-Even though he's senior to me,

0:04:340:04:36

he beats me ten out of ten times.

0:04:360:04:40

Stephen and Stuart, welcome to Pointless.

0:04:400:04:42

Finally, we have Gemma and Hywel. How do you know each other?

0:04:420:04:47

We met in Swansea University and we've been going out for two and a half years.

0:04:470:04:53

-Gemma, what would you like see come up this afternoon?

-Horror films.

0:04:530:04:58

-Mm-hm.

-I think it's very unlikely,

0:04:580:05:01

but I think we'd have an advantage over the other couples if Ultimate Frisbee came up.

0:05:010:05:07

-Trouble is, we've had a lot of Frisbee in recent shows.

-Ahhh!

0:05:070:05:12

-I'd therefore be surprised if it came up. Hywel, what would you like to see come up?

-Generally, films.

0:05:120:05:20

A bit of geography, maybe. I play Ultimate Frisbee in my spare time.

0:05:200:05:24

-Are you an Ultimate Frisbee expert?

-I wouldn't say I'm an expert.

0:05:240:05:29

But who would you say would win an Ultimate Frisbee game

0:05:290:05:33

between Christian Bale and Shirley Bassey?

0:05:330:05:37

Depends who else they had on their team. There's six other people.

0:05:370:05:41

-Ducks the question. Notice that?

-Yeah.

0:05:410:05:44

-What are you studying at university?

-I did geography. Gemma's at university. I've left.

0:05:440:05:50

-What are you doing, Gemma?

-I'm doing mental health nursing.

0:05:500:05:54

Very good. Very best of luck to all of you.

0:05:540:05:58

There's only one more person left for me to introduce.

0:05:580:06:01

He spends his Saturdays checking the indexing at his local library.

0:06:010:06:06

-He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard.

-Hiya.

0:06:060:06:09

To be fair, I do Ultimate Indexing. Very, very different.

0:06:150:06:19

-Not Dewey Decimal!

-Not just standing round in a circle.

0:06:190:06:23

It should be a cracking show today.

0:06:230:06:25

Question two's a lovely question.

0:06:250:06:28

Thank you very much, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people,

0:06:280:06:33

but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:06:330:06:36

All our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.

0:06:360:06:41

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:410:06:47

Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

0:06:470:06:50

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.

0:06:500:06:54

Today's jackpot starts off at £5,500.

0:06:540:06:58

AUDIENCE: Wooo!

0:06:580:07:02

-Right, let's play Pointless.

-APPLAUSE

0:07:020:07:05

In the first round, each of you gives me one answer, and you cannot confer.

0:07:080:07:13

Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated.

0:07:130:07:18

Our category for round one this afternoon is...

0:07:180:07:22

..Zoology. Can you all decide who's going first, who's going second?

0:07:230:07:28

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:07:290:07:33

Let's find out what the question is.

0:07:350:07:38

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:07:380:07:40

to name as many whales as they could.

0:07:400:07:44

-Richard.

-The correct answers will be species of swimming mammals commonly known as whales.

0:07:440:07:50

Incorrect answers won't be whales.

0:07:500:07:52

There we are.

0:07:520:07:54

Elaine and Jan, you all drew lots and you get to go first.

0:07:540:07:58

You may be delighted to hear, we are giving you a choice

0:07:580:08:02

of seven possible answers in each pass.

0:08:020:08:05

The first set of seven reads like this...

0:08:050:08:08

..I'll read those one more time...

0:08:150:08:18

..Remember, we are looking for types of whale, Elaine.

0:08:230:08:27

At least one of those is pointless.

0:08:270:08:29

At least one is incorrect, pick one of those and you score 100 points.

0:08:290:08:34

I only know a couple of those. I have to play it safe.

0:08:360:08:40

-I'll go for humpback.

-Humpback. Let's see if that's right.

0:08:400:08:44

Let's see how many people said humpback.

0:08:440:08:47

It's right.

0:08:490:08:51

APPLAUSE

0:08:550:08:57

-That's a pretty decent score, Richard, of 40.

-Yes.

0:08:570:09:01

Found in coastal waters all around the world. They communicate using that distinctive song.

0:09:010:09:07

-Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley?

-That's how they communicate. Yeah.

0:09:070:09:13

-That is amazing.

-Yeah.

0:09:130:09:15

Chris, remember, we are looking for whales.

0:09:150:09:19

There's one I know for definite. One, I THINK I know, but not 100%.

0:09:190:09:25

I think I'm going to play safe

0:09:250:09:28

and go for sperm whale.

0:09:280:09:30

You're going for sperm. Let's see if that's right.

0:09:300:09:33

If it is, how many people said sperm whale?

0:09:330:09:36

Very well done.

0:09:450:09:47

-44, Richard.

-Well done, Chris.

0:09:470:09:49

It's got a massive square head and they're quite bad-tempered.

0:09:490:09:53

Often ram boats.

0:09:530:09:55

Don't mess with a sperm whale. Don't mess with any whales, especially not the sperm whale.

0:09:550:10:01

Stephen, we are looking for whales.

0:10:010:10:03

There's one I'm quite sure of.

0:10:030:10:06

One I'm 50% sure of.

0:10:060:10:08

I think I'll go for the one that I'm pretty sure of, minke.

0:10:080:10:12

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said minke.

0:10:120:10:19

Well done.

0:10:210:10:23

Very well done.

0:10:270:10:29

That's a great score, Stephen.

0:10:290:10:31

Very fast swimmers, minke whales, at 21 miles per hour.

0:10:330:10:37

-It's not that fast.

-It's quite fast.

0:10:370:10:40

-It's faster than I can swim.

-It's a bit show-offy to say they're fast.

0:10:400:10:45

-Moderate speed.

-Faster than a sperm whale.

-Thank you.

0:10:450:10:49

Now then, Hywel. You're the last person to have this board.

0:10:490:10:54

There's still a pointless answer. That would add £250 to the jackpot.

0:10:540:10:58

-We are looking for whales.

-There's one I'm pretty sure is a whale.

0:10:580:11:04

There's definitely a wrong one and a pointless one, so I want to guess,

0:11:040:11:09

but I don't want to risk getting 100 points.

0:11:090:11:12

I'm going to say gray whale.

0:11:120:11:15

Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, how many people gray whale.

0:11:150:11:19

It's right. Well done, Hywel.

0:11:200:11:22

Very well done indeed! The best score of the pass!

0:11:270:11:30

Five points for gray whale.

0:11:320:11:35

Well played, Hywel. Well done if you said gray whale at home.

0:11:350:11:40

Let's fill in the rest of the board. All are incorrect or pointless.

0:11:400:11:45

I'm going to say keiko is a whale.

0:11:450:11:48

OK. That's wrong.

0:11:480:11:50

But let's go on. Keiko is the name of the whale in Free Willy.

0:11:500:11:55

-Sorry. Did I not say that?

-No, you left that bit out.

0:11:550:12:00

Ginko-toothed HAS to be a whale.

0:12:000:12:03

It is, ginko!

0:12:030:12:05

-It's the one with the ginko teeth.

-Correct.

0:12:050:12:08

That's a pointless answer, so well done if you said that. Bowhead?

0:12:080:12:12

It's a... It's a... It's a...whale.

0:12:120:12:16

Otherwise known as the Greenland whale. Two pointless answers.

0:12:160:12:20

Let's take a look at the scores. Cracking answer from Hywel.

0:12:200:12:24

The gray whale. Five points to him.

0:12:240:12:26

Up a tiny bit, to Stephen and Stuart.

0:12:260:12:30

Then up quite a lot to Elaine and Jan.

0:12:300:12:34

Then a smidge ahead of them, Chris and Gaz.

0:12:340:12:38

So can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:12:380:12:43

We're going to put seven more answers on the board and we are looking for whales, remember.

0:12:430:12:48

We have got...

0:12:480:12:51

..I'll read those one more time...

0:12:560:12:58

..I can tell you again that at least one of those is pointless.

0:13:040:13:08

At least one is incorrect. Pick an incorrect one and score 100 points.

0:13:080:13:13

Now, Gemma.

0:13:130:13:15

-Whales.

-Yeah. Um...

0:13:150:13:18

I'm really torn, actually.

0:13:180:13:21

There's only one I know, a really obvious answer.

0:13:210:13:24

I'm going to go for a blue whale.

0:13:240:13:27

A blue whale. There it is.

0:13:270:13:30

Blue whale. There's your red line.

0:13:300:13:32

Below that, through to the next round.

0:13:320:13:35

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said blue whale.

0:13:350:13:39

Ooh, that's a high score. 71, Gemma.

0:13:430:13:46

71 takes your total up to 76. Richard.

0:13:460:13:51

The largest animal ever to have lived.

0:13:510:13:54

-They average 150 tonnes.

-Wow.

0:13:540:13:56

-They're not swimming at 21 miles an hour, are they?

-Noo.

0:13:560:14:00

Nooo!

0:14:000:14:02

So, Stuart.

0:14:020:14:04

Remember, we are looking for whales.

0:14:040:14:07

The high-scorers are Gemma and Hywel. You're on eight.

0:14:070:14:10

If you can score 67 or less...

0:14:100:14:12

Um...

0:14:120:14:15

I think I've heard of this one.

0:14:150:14:18

I don't have a clue what it looks like or where it's from.

0:14:180:14:22

But I think there's a pilot whale so I'm going to go for pilot.

0:14:220:14:27

Let's hope it looks like a whale and it's from the sea! Pilot whale.

0:14:270:14:32

If you get below that red line, through to the next round you go.

0:14:320:14:36

Pilot whale. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:14:360:14:39

Very well done, Stuart.

0:14:410:14:44

And you are through to the next round.

0:14:440:14:47

That's a spectacular answer!

0:14:490:14:52

It's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:14:520:14:57

Taking the total up to £5,750.

0:14:570:14:59

And it scores you nothing, leaving your total at eight. Richard.

0:14:590:15:04

They're very social animals. They go round in pods of hundreds.

0:15:040:15:09

Gaz, you WERE the high-scorers on 44,

0:15:090:15:12

till Gemma rode to your rescue.

0:15:120:15:16

They are now the high-scorers.

0:15:160:15:19

Should you score 31 or less, you're through to the next round.

0:15:190:15:23

We are looking for whales.

0:15:230:15:25

I'll take a risk and go for Cuvier's beaked.

0:15:250:15:30

OK. There's your red line.

0:15:300:15:33

Below that red line, through you go to the next round. Cuvier's beaked.

0:15:330:15:38

Is it right? If it is, how many people said it?

0:15:380:15:42

It's right. Very well done, Gaz.

0:15:440:15:47

Yes!

0:15:480:15:50

Very well done, indeed!

0:15:510:15:54

That's another pointless answer.

0:15:540:15:57

It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:15:570:15:59

Takes the total up to a whopping £6,000.

0:15:590:16:03

-It scores you nothing. Very well done. Richard.

-Well done, Gaz.

0:16:030:16:08

Beaked whales probably the least studied mammals on the planet.

0:16:080:16:12

They live very deep. They dive to two kilometres to catch their prey.

0:16:120:16:17

What's their prey? Old ships?

0:16:170:16:19

Squid, that sort of thing, stuff that lives that far down.

0:16:190:16:23

And there's not much that does. Very, very hard to study them.

0:16:230:16:27

Jan,

0:16:270:16:31

the high-scorers, should you need to be reminded, are Gemma and Hywel.

0:16:310:16:36

35 or less is what we require from you to keep you in the game.

0:16:360:16:41

Remember, we are looking for whales.

0:16:410:16:43

-Talk us through the board.

-Did I not say we didn't want any more questions about "Wales"?

0:16:430:16:49

-You wanted nothing else about Wales.

-It wasn't what I had in mind.

0:16:490:16:53

Corwen is IN Wales, therefore that is probably a wrong answer.

0:16:530:16:58

Um...

0:16:580:17:00

Tashtego could be some sort of Japanese type species of whale.

0:17:010:17:07

But I've never heard of it.

0:17:070:17:09

Um, white whale, I'm not sure of either.

0:17:090:17:13

I THINK, it's a stab in the dark,

0:17:130:17:16

that I have heard of a narwhal whale so that's what I'm going for.

0:17:160:17:21

Narwhal. There's your red line, Jan.

0:17:210:17:23

Please can narwhal get you below that red line.

0:17:250:17:29

-Elaine, what do you think?

-I'd have gone for that.

0:17:290:17:32

OK, is it a right answer and, if it is, how many people said Narwhal?

0:17:330:17:39

It's right.

0:17:400:17:42

And gets you through to the next round.

0:17:450:17:49

Very well done!

0:17:490:17:50

Very well done, Jan. Richard.

0:17:520:17:55

Well done, Jan. It's a small Arctic whale.

0:17:550:17:58

Distinctive features, it's got a very long tightly spiralled tusk.

0:17:580:18:03

It can be up to nine feet in length. Let's look at the rest of the board.

0:18:030:18:07

White whale would have seen you through.

0:18:070:18:10

Would have scored you 13 points.

0:18:100:18:13

You didn't fall into our trap. Corwen is a place IN Wales.

0:18:130:18:19

Tashtego, also an incorrect answer, is a character from Moby-Dick.

0:18:190:18:24

Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of round one,

0:18:240:18:28

the losing pair with the highest score, I'm sorry to say, Gemma and Hywel, it is you.

0:18:280:18:33

Gray whale, nothing wrong with that. Blue whale, nothing wrong with that.

0:18:330:18:39

But not only the biggest whale in the world, also the biggest score.

0:18:390:18:44

I'm afraid you suffer as a result of it.

0:18:440:18:47

I hope we will see more of you next time.

0:18:470:18:50

Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing.

0:18:500:18:52

For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

0:18:560:19:00

Now, only room for two pairs in the head-to-head so one of the teams will leave at the end of this round.

0:19:050:19:12

Our category for round two is...languages.

0:19:120:19:16

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

0:19:160:19:22

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:220:19:27

Our round two question concerns...

0:19:270:19:30

..Greetings in foreign languages.

0:19:330:19:35

On each pass, we'll show you six greetings in foreign languages.

0:19:350:19:39

We asked 100 people, "In which languages are these greetings used?"

0:19:390:19:43

A nice obscure answer is going to score fewer points. An incorrect answer is going to score 100 points.

0:19:430:19:49

12 greetings, 12 languages to guess at home.

0:19:490:19:52

We are looking for the languages in which these are used as greetings.

0:19:520:19:56

We have got...

0:19:560:19:58

..I'll read those again...

0:20:060:20:10

..There are our six greetings.

0:20:150:20:18

What I want from you is the language in which those are greetings.

0:20:180:20:22

Try to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:20:220:20:26

Jan.

0:20:260:20:27

Languages has never really been my forte. I did French at school.

0:20:270:20:33

Which isn't going to help me today.

0:20:330:20:36

I guess that a couple of those are really quite obscure.

0:20:360:20:40

I'm going to go with kalimera, which, I believe, is Greek.

0:20:400:20:45

Let's see if that's right

0:20:450:20:47

and, if it is, how many people said kalimera, Greek.

0:20:470:20:51

Yes. It's right.

0:20:520:20:54

That's a great score.

0:20:590:21:01

-Greek, Richard, kalimera.

-Yeah. It's a lovely round, this.

0:21:030:21:08

-If you're going on holiday, you'll learn something from this.

-Yeah.

-Kalimera, Alexander.

0:21:080:21:13

Top of the morning to you. I'm replying in Irish there.

0:21:130:21:18

Now, Chris.

0:21:180:21:21

We are looking for the languages in which these terms are greetings.

0:21:210:21:26

There's two that I'm sure of, but they'll both be high scorers.

0:21:260:21:30

-I'm going for guten Tag, German.

-Guten Tag, says Chris, German.

0:21:300:21:36

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that.

0:21:360:21:40

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:21:400:21:42

-Ho ho ho! Oooh, Chris.

-Blimey.

-That's three better than wrong.

0:21:420:21:48

We rarely see scores that high.

0:21:480:21:50

-Means "good day" in German.

-It's nice that so many people

0:21:500:21:54

in our fair country know a nice greeting in German.

0:21:540:21:58

Stephen, you're the last person to have this so you can talk us through

0:21:580:22:02

all of these greetings.

0:22:020:22:04

I've just come back from the Greek islands. I'd have gone for kalimera.

0:22:040:22:09

I'm struggling now so I've got to go for the top one.

0:22:090:22:12

-Buongiorno, Italian.

-Buongiorno, Italian.

0:22:120:22:17

Let's hope that goes down lower than guten Tag did for Chris and Gaz.

0:22:170:22:22

Is that right? How many people knew that answer?

0:22:220:22:25

It's right. Down it goes.

0:22:270:22:29

Good answer, as it turns out.

0:22:310:22:34

-Buongiorno, Richard.

-Buongiorno yourself. Yeah, Italian.

0:22:370:22:41

A better score than guten Tag, but still pretty high.

0:22:410:22:44

Let's fill in the board. Do you know dzien dobry?

0:22:440:22:47

-Polish.

-Exactly right.

0:22:470:22:49

-Dia duit?

-No.

0:22:490:22:51

Gaelic or Irish.

0:22:510:22:54

It actually means "God be with you". Two points.

0:22:540:22:57

-Selamat siang is a pointless answer. Do you want to have a...?

-Thailand.

0:22:570:23:02

Not Thailand. Indonesia. Very well done if you got that at home.

0:23:020:23:07

Unless you're Indonesian, in which case, come on!

0:23:070:23:11

Thank you very much, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.

0:23:110:23:14

Jan and Elaine, very much the best score.

0:23:140:23:17

Then up quite a long way to Stephen and Stuart.

0:23:170:23:21

Then up nearly all the way to Chris and Gaz.

0:23:210:23:26

Gaz, you'll have to find a really obscure greeting

0:23:260:23:30

if you want to make it through to the head-to-head.

0:23:300:23:33

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:330:23:39

We're going to put six more greetings on the board. We have...

0:23:410:23:44

..I will read those again...

0:23:520:23:55

..The high-scorers are Gaz and Chris. You are on 64.

0:24:020:24:08

If you can score 32 or less, you are in the head-to-head.

0:24:080:24:11

-We are looking for the languages in which these terms are greetings.

-OK, um...

0:24:110:24:17

I THINK, I know the one I'm going to guess for

0:24:170:24:20

because a teacher was trying us out with some Welsh once.

0:24:200:24:25

And I'm pretty sure that bore da is Welsh for "good day".

0:24:250:24:30

Bore da, there it is. You're hoping that is Welsh.

0:24:300:24:33

Wales featuring a lot in this show, isn't it?

0:24:330:24:37

There's your red line.

0:24:380:24:40

Below that red line, head-to-head time.

0:24:400:24:43

Bore da. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Welsh.

0:24:430:24:48

You're quite right, Stuart.

0:24:500:24:52

Will it get you through...?

0:24:520:24:54

Yes, it will!

0:24:540:24:56

Extremely well done.

0:24:560:25:00

-That takes your total to 90. Richard.

-Well played, Stuart.

0:25:000:25:04

Well played to your teacher as well. It means "good morning" in Welsh.

0:25:040:25:08

Now, Gaz,

0:25:080:25:11

what we require from you

0:25:110:25:13

is a lovely low score.

0:25:130:25:15

I can probably predict four of them.

0:25:150:25:18

I'll go for shalom and Israel.

0:25:180:25:21

-Shalom, you're saying Israel.

-Yeah. I've been there.

0:25:210:25:25

Many years ago.

0:25:250:25:27

You're the high-scorers, so there's no red line.

0:25:270:25:30

You just have to hope this is going to score as little as possible.

0:25:300:25:34

Israel, says Gaz. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:25:340:25:39

Bad luck.

0:25:420:25:45

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:25:450:25:48

which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:25:480:25:52

Sorry, Gaz. I won't give the answer, in case Elaine wants to have a go.

0:25:520:25:56

Elaine, here is the good news. Gaz has taken a hit there.

0:25:560:26:00

Taken their score to 197, which is so high you won't overtake it,

0:26:000:26:04

even if you score 100 points.

0:26:040:26:07

Knowing that, take us through the board and submit an answer.

0:26:070:26:11

We are looking for the languages in which these terms are greetings.

0:26:110:26:15

I think I know three for definite.

0:26:150:26:18

Shalom is Hebrew, bonjour is French

0:26:180:26:21

and hola is Spanish.

0:26:210:26:23

I'm going to guess at the second one down that I can't pronounce.

0:26:230:26:28

Xin chao!

0:26:280:26:30

-I'm going to say Chinese.

-Is that Chinese?

0:26:300:26:32

If it is, how many people said it? No red line for you. You're through.

0:26:320:26:37

Incorrect. That scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:26:410:26:44

It couldn't matter less. You are through to the next round.

0:26:440:26:48

Good risk to take. Xin chao is Vietnamese.

0:26:480:26:51

It would have scored one point. Best answer on the board.

0:26:510:26:54

You've been through the rest for us. Shalom, I'm afraid Gaz, is Hebrew.

0:26:540:26:59

We were looking for the languages.

0:26:590:27:01

They do speak it in Israel, of course.

0:27:010:27:05

Hola, Spanish, would have scored 64.

0:27:050:27:09

Hyvaa huomenta is Finnish.

0:27:090:27:12

Bonjour, let's see if the French can beat the Germans.

0:27:120:27:17

-Bonjour is French and would have scored you 98 points.

-98!

0:27:170:27:21

-98 points.

-Very well done, those French.

0:27:210:27:25

At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score,

0:27:250:27:29

bad luck, Gaz and Chris.

0:27:290:27:32

You've done much better this time. Nice low score.

0:27:320:27:35

And 197 is a LOAD better than 200.

0:27:350:27:38

-Just.

-Sadly, this is the end of the road.

0:27:380:27:41

-We have to say goodbye, but thank you very much for playing, Chris, Gaz.

-Thank you.

0:27:410:27:47

For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.

0:27:490:27:55

Stephen and Stuart, Elaine and Jan, you've made it to the head-to-head.

0:28:000:28:05

Only one pair can play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £6,000!

0:28:050:28:11

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

0:28:110:28:13

For each question, give me just one answer. You are allowed to confer.

0:28:130:28:18

Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question.

0:28:180:28:23

The first pair to win two questions plays for today's jackpot.

0:28:230:28:26

Let's play Pointless.

0:28:260:28:29

OK, here is your first question.

0:28:330:28:35

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:28:350:28:39

subjects in Wonderful World as they could.

0:28:390:28:42

We're looking for any of the academic subjects

0:28:420:28:45

mentioned in the lyrics of Sam Cooke's hit Wonderful World.

0:28:450:28:49

Those are the many things he "don't know much about".

0:28:490:28:53

Stephen and Stuart, because you've played best so far, you get to go first.

0:28:530:28:58

WHISPER

0:28:580:29:03

Stephen and Stuart.

0:29:040:29:06

-Red roses, we're going for.

-Red roses you are saying. Red roses.

0:29:060:29:11

Elaine and Jan.

0:29:110:29:13

-Well, we're going to go for history.

-History.

0:29:130:29:17

We have red roses and we have history.

0:29:170:29:22

Stephen and Stuart, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:29:220:29:28

That's an incorrect answer.

0:29:300:29:32

Elaine and Jan, you've gone for history.

0:29:320:29:36

It needs to be correct and you will win this question. History, is it right?

0:29:360:29:40

Yup. It's right. Well done.

0:29:420:29:44

54, it goes down to.

0:29:470:29:49

All it needed to be was right, and it was.

0:29:490:29:53

After one question, Elaine and Jan are up one-nil.

0:29:530:29:57

Stephen and Stuart, you're thinking of Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World.

0:29:570:30:02

This is Sam Cooke's "Don't know much about history..."

0:30:020:30:06

Let's take a look at all the things he don't know much about...

0:30:060:30:10

Very well done if you got those low-scorers.

0:30:170:30:20

Thank you very much. Yes, listen to Richard is the answer to that.

0:30:200:30:24

Here is your second question.

0:30:240:30:26

Stephen and Stuart, you have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:30:260:30:32

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:30:320:30:35

of the original NATO countries as they could. Richard.

0:30:350:30:40

Any of the 12 countries that signed the North Atlantic Treaty

0:30:400:30:44

in Washington in 1949, the treaty that formed NATO.

0:30:440:30:48

Thank you very much. Elaine and Jan, you go first.

0:30:480:30:52

WHISPERING

0:30:520:30:54

-OK.

-OK, we think Netherlands.

0:30:570:31:02

The Netherlands. Stephen and Stuart.

0:31:020:31:06

We've agreed to go for Norway.

0:31:060:31:09

So we have the Netherlands and we have Norway.

0:31:090:31:14

This will decide whether or not you stay with us,

0:31:140:31:18

or whether or not Elaine and Jan go through to the final.

0:31:180:31:22

You have to win this point, Stephen and Stuart.

0:31:220:31:25

The Netherlands, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said the Netherlands.

0:31:250:31:30

It's right.

0:31:310:31:33

APPLAUSE

0:31:390:31:41

Stephen and Stuart, nine is what you have to beat.

0:31:410:31:45

-Tough.

-You've gone for Norway.

0:31:450:31:48

Let's see if Norway's right and, if it is, how many people said Norway.

0:31:480:31:52

It's right.

0:31:540:31:56

AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

0:32:020:32:05

Oh, very, very well done.

0:32:050:32:08

That means, after two questions,

0:32:080:32:11

Elaine and Jan are still up, one-nil. Richard.

0:32:110:32:14

Let's take a look at all 12. A couple would have won the point.

0:32:140:32:19

Luxembourg and Iceland, both part of that original NATO treaty...

0:32:190:32:24

..Good answers from both teams. Well done if you beat them, though.

0:32:360:32:40

Here is your third question.

0:32:400:32:43

Again, Stephen and Stuart, you have to win this to stay in the game.

0:32:430:32:47

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:32:470:32:51

Stanley Kubrick films as they could.

0:32:510:32:54

Any feature film made for cinema release for which Stanley Kubrick received credit as director.

0:32:540:33:01

-No short films or documentaries, just feature films made for cinema release.

-Thank you very much.

0:33:010:33:08

-Stephen and Stuart answer first.

-ALL WHISPER

0:33:080:33:12

OK, right. There was one that we couldn't think of the title of.

0:33:160:33:21

We thought it would have been a good one!

0:33:210:33:24

-Yeah.

-That's kind of by the bye!

0:33:240:33:27

So we're going to go for, I think it was his last film

0:33:270:33:31

-with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Eyes Wide Shut.

-Eyes Wide Shut.

0:33:310:33:36

Elaine and Jan?

0:33:360:33:39

-We were going for that one as well!

-So we're going to take a risk.

0:33:390:33:43

-We're going to go for Dr Strangelove.

-Dr Strangelove.

0:33:430:33:48

We have Eyes Wide Shut and we have Dr Strangelove. That's a risk there?

0:33:480:33:54

Stephen and Stuart, again, you have to win this to stay in the game.

0:33:540:33:59

If Elaine and Jan win this question, they are through to the final.

0:33:590:34:03

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Eyes Wide Shut.

0:34:030:34:09

Not a bad score at all.

0:34:190:34:22

13. Elaine and Jan, Dr Strangelove. How confident are you?

0:34:220:34:28

-Not very.

-This is a shot in the dark, to some extent.

0:34:280:34:32

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Dr Strangelove.

0:34:320:34:37

It's right.

0:34:400:34:41

Very well said, Elaine and Jan.

0:34:410:34:43

Will it go below 13?

0:34:430:34:46

It will! Very well done, indeed!

0:34:460:34:50

That's done exactly what it had to do.

0:34:500:34:53

After three questions, Elaine and Jan are through to the final, two-nil.

0:34:530:34:59

You knew it, somewhere in your head.

0:34:590:35:01

Dr Strangelove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb.

0:35:010:35:05

Peter Sellers nominated for Best Actor.

0:35:050:35:07

Let's look at all of Kubrick's films.

0:35:070:35:10

There is one pointless answer, his second film, Killer's Kiss...

0:35:100:35:14

..Thank you very much, Richard.

0:35:400:35:42

The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Stephen and Stuart.

0:35:420:35:47

That was very hard-fought. Some great answers from you there.

0:35:470:35:52

You were beaten in the end by,

0:35:520:35:54

by this dazzling pair, Elaine and Jan.

0:35:540:35:59

They've come right through in both of their Pointless shows.

0:35:590:36:04

We will see you again next time, when I hope you'll go even further. Thank you very much for playing.

0:36:040:36:10

Good luck.

0:36:100:36:12

For Elaine and Jan, it's our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £6,000!

0:36:120:36:18

Congratulations, Elaine and Jan, you fought off all the competition

0:36:230:36:27

and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:270:36:30

APPLAUSE

0:36:300:36:32

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:350:36:38

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £6,000!

0:36:380:36:42

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

0:36:420:36:44

To win that, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,

0:36:460:36:50

one that none of our 100 people could think of.

0:36:500:36:52

We've had two pointless answers today. You only have to find one more to go home with that money.

0:36:520:36:58

First, you've got to choose a category from these three options...

0:36:580:37:02

-You choose.

-Yeah.

0:37:080:37:11

-We'll go UK geography, please.

-UK geography.

0:37:110:37:15

OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:37:150:37:19

as many cities granted city status since 1900 as they could. Richard.

0:37:190:37:26

We're looking for any town in the UK that's been granted city status from 1900 right up to 2011, please.

0:37:260:37:34

Phew. You now have one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:340:37:38

All you need, to win that £6,000, is for one of those to be pointless.

0:37:380:37:43

Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:430:37:44

Right, well, Wolverhampton.

0:37:440:37:47

Definitely in the last few years.

0:37:470:37:50

-Is Milton Keynes one?

-I'm not sure.

0:37:500:37:53

-Wakefield was another one.

-All right.

0:37:530:37:57

There's... Let me think...

0:37:580:38:02

-We can discount Birmingham, Manchester!

-Yeah!

-What else?

0:38:020:38:07

-Swansea, maybe?

-Yeah.

0:38:070:38:11

There are some that have been granted status in the last couple of years but I can't think of them.

0:38:110:38:19

-Do you think Warrington?

-Warrington is one, yeah.

0:38:190:38:23

-So, Wolverhampton...?

-Wakefield, Warrington.

-All Ws!

0:38:230:38:28

I'm not sure.

0:38:280:38:30

-Can you think of anything else?

-No.

0:38:300:38:34

-Wigan?

-Wigan...

0:38:360:38:39

Five seconds remain.

0:38:390:38:42

That's your time up.

0:38:460:38:48

We were looking for cities granted city status since 1900.

0:38:480:38:52

I now need your three answers.

0:38:520:38:55

-Wolverhampton.

-Wolverhampton.

-Wakefield.

0:38:550:38:59

Wakefield.

0:38:590:39:00

-And... And Warrington.

-Warrington.

-All the Ws.

0:39:000:39:04

Very good indeed. Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:040:39:10

-Wakefield.

-Wakefield we'll put last.

0:39:100:39:12

And your least likely?

0:39:120:39:14

-Warrington.

-Warrington.

0:39:140:39:16

Let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they are...

0:39:160:39:21

..We were looking for cities granted city status since 1900.

0:39:250:39:30

This was your least confident answer.

0:39:300:39:32

You only have to find one pointless answer to win the jackpot of £6,000.

0:39:320:39:37

Let's see if Warrington's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:39:370:39:41

Warrington.

0:39:410:39:43

-You weren't sure of that one.

-No.

-So no massive loss.

0:39:470:39:51

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:510:39:55

What would you do with £6,000?

0:39:550:39:58

I'd either take my husband on holiday

0:39:580:40:01

or put a down payment on a camper van and take my husband on holiday!

0:40:010:40:05

You could tour all the places beginning with W!

0:40:050:40:09

-How about you, Jan?

-A new camera.

0:40:090:40:11

I guess there'd be something in it for the children and grandchildren.

0:40:110:40:16

OK, we were looking for cities granted city status since 1900.

0:40:160:40:20

Let's hope nobody said your next answer.

0:40:200:40:23

This has to be pointless if you're going to win £6,000.

0:40:230:40:26

It also has to be correct. You know it's correct, don't you?

0:40:260:40:30

Maybe being down at the far end of the alphabet, it'll be one that people didn't think of.

0:40:310:40:38

Wolverhampton, is it right? How many people said it? Very best of luck.

0:40:380:40:42

It's right.

0:40:450:40:46

The next thing it has to be is pointless.

0:40:460:40:50

Into the 40s, into the 30s.

0:40:500:40:52

If this goes to zero, you leave with £6,000!

0:40:520:40:57

-Five for Wolverhampton!

-AUDIENCE GROANS

0:40:570:41:02

But you had one other brilliant answer up your sleeve.

0:41:020:41:07

Wolverhampton, only five, not a pointless answer.

0:41:070:41:11

You have a last chance to win today's jackpot of £6,000.

0:41:110:41:16

-What are you thinking?

-Help!

0:41:160:41:18

You had no problem at all putting this one further down your list.

0:41:180:41:22

It's one that probably people wouldn't think of immediately.

0:41:220:41:27

That's what we're hoping, anyway.

0:41:270:41:30

Whatever happens, we've had a great time.

0:41:300:41:33

This is very exciting. Everything is now hanging on Wakefield.

0:41:330:41:38

You said this was the answer you were most confident with.

0:41:380:41:43

This has to be pointless. Very, very, very best of luck.

0:41:430:41:47

Wakefield, is it right? How many people said it?

0:41:470:41:50

Oh, no!

0:41:530:41:54

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:41:540:41:56

-Oh, no!

-OK. Well... APPLAUSE

0:41:560:42:00

You didn't find that pointless answer so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £6,000.

0:42:010:42:07

Never mind. We've got the trophy.

0:42:070:42:09

Quite right. That jackpot will roll over to the next show.

0:42:090:42:12

You've been fantastic contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

0:42:120:42:17

Very unlucky. Wakefield, it is a city, but was granted city status

0:42:170:42:21

before the time we're talking about.

0:42:210:42:24

There's 22 cities that have been granted city status since 1900. Wakefield before that.

0:42:240:42:29

Cambridge, Southampton, Cardiff, all since 1900 all been made cities.

0:42:290:42:35

There's only three pointless answers. It was a very tough category to pick.

0:42:350:42:41

Let's take a look at all three of them.

0:42:410:42:44

There is Armagh, which was made a city in 1994.

0:42:440:42:48

Lancaster was made a city in 1937

0:42:480:42:50

for its long association with the Crown.

0:42:500:42:53

And Stirling for the Queen's golden jubilee in 2002.

0:42:530:42:58

Very well done if you got any of those.

0:42:580:43:01

-We wouldn't have got any of those.

-Only three of them!

0:43:010:43:04

-That's one of the toughest jackpot rounds we've yet had!

-No problem.

0:43:040:43:10

You've made it to the head-to-head and right through to the final.

0:43:100:43:14

We have to say goodbye, Elaine and Jan, but it's been brilliant having you on the show.

0:43:140:43:20

Nobody's won our jackpot today so it rolls over, which means on the next show we will be playing for £7,000!

0:43:220:43:30

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

0:43:300:43:32

-Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:320:43:36

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
