0:00:21 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Welcome back, Jenny and Jeannie, you were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. This is your last chance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Remind us what happened.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Well, Alexandra, in the last round,
0:00:48 > 0:00:54I think we gave a doughy answer to a bread topic and...that was it.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55- Bread?- Yes.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01- You were done by naan? - We were done by naan.- Right, OK.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- Whose idea was it to come on Pointless?- Mine.- Very good.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Did Jeannie take much persuading? - No, no she didn't.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11She agreed very quickly and very willingly
0:01:11 > 0:01:16because we both enjoy the show and enjoy your banter between the two of you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18How... how very flattering,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- slightly humbling. - Didn't know we did banter.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I thought we did barely concealed hostility.
0:01:23 > 0:01:29I'm sitting here enjoying the fact that Jeannie called you Alexandra.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30LAUGHTER
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I have learnt to accept that as my name.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It is frequently given.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It IS a girl's name.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- But I'm, you know, I'm big enough to cope with that.- I beg your pardon.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44No, don't worry at all. Don't you worry at all.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Well, lovely to have you back,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- very best of luck to the pair of you.- Thank you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Next we welcome Pat and Rob. Now, how do you know each other?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Well, Alexander, we're from Hull.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I've got three children, the youngest of which is Pat.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59The youngest is Pat.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Was Pat the first one you asked to join you as your teammate?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I set up the actual thing. My dad just tagged along in the end.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Tag along.- Tag along, I like that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Very good. What do you do, Pat?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I work for the Citizens Advice Bureau as an advisor.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I also work part-time in a bar to pay the bills.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20How long have you been doing the Citizens Advice?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Last four months.- Very good. Now, Rob, what do you do?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- I work for the Royal mail. - What you do?- I'm a delivery driver.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Right. We've had a pretty good representation
0:02:30 > 0:02:32from the Royal Mail, actually.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Yeah, we have.- Very good indeed. A lot of post people.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's almost as if they're often home in the afternoon, isn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Watching Pointless.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Very best of luck Pat and Rob, it's great to have you here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Next we welcome Liz and Tom. How do you know each other? - Hi, Alex and hi, Richard.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52We both met at Northumbria University three years ago
0:02:52 > 0:02:55in freshers' week and we've been a couple ever since.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Ever since freshers' week? Wow. - Poor Liz.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- That's fantastic.- Mm.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- You haven't been out with anyone else for the whole of your university time?- No.- No.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- That's fantastic. - What could possibly go wrong?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13LAUGHTER
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Now, Liz.- Hi.- What do you do?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Um... Well, I've just finished university.- Indeed.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21And I'm a part-time sales assistant.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Very good, and, Tom, um... I have to commend you on that T-shirt.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I mean, I am a massive fan of Roy Orbison myself so I...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- LAUGHTER - Tell us about the T-shirt, Tom.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Well, I mean, it could be recycled for Roy Orbison, I suppose,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41but it's for Richard. Richard Osman over there. Big fan.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Sorry, Alex, you're one's at home.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It was a choice between the two. Richard pipped you, I'm afraid.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Yeah.- This is not at all awkward.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50LAUGHTER
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Very good. Welcome to the show.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It's fabulous to have you here.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Finally, we welcome back James and Steve. You were also on the show last time.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Remind us how you know each other. - We're work colleagues.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06I work as an admin assistant for a building company and Steve's the catering manager.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Remind us what happened to you last time. - We went out in the second round.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Um...it was fictional robots.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We knew some of the answers but we chose the wrong one.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Oh, there was one very famous fictional robot
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- on there that was Pointless. - That's right. Marvin.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Everyone stepped carefully around Marvin, didn't they?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And, actually, had you said Marvin it would have added money to the jackpot
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- and kept you in the game.- Exactly. - Well, that's Pointless for you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32There's just no predicting, no predicting.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What would you like to see come up this afternoon, James?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37James Bond films, that would be brilliant.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Or geography, that would be pretty good. My mind just smiles
0:04:40 > 0:04:43when a geography question comes up on this show. It's brilliant.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I normally find a good pointless or two in there.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Very good. Of course, geography,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Steve, you're the son of a teacher man.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Son of a geography teacher, that's right.- Son of a teacher man.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I'd like sport or '80s pop music. That was my era.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59'80s pop music. Very good. Best of luck to you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03We'll find out more about you in the show. There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06He's the toast of Essex, Billericay's favourite son,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08he's my Pointless friend.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14APPLAUSE
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Billericay Osman, in fact. - Yes, if you like. If you like.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Yes.- Should be a good show today. We've got two returning pairs,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26neither of whom really covered themselves in glory last time,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28so I would say a very open field.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Round One, one of those classic, proper geeky Pointless rounds.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- I think a lot of people will like it. - I'm looking forward to it already.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We put our questions to 100 people but this is Pointless,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44To stay in the game and win our jackpot,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53an answer that none of our 100 people gave, and each time that happens,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02so, today's jackpot starts off at £2,500.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06APPLAUSE
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:17In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:17 > 0:06:20and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24The team with highest score will be eliminated. If anyone gives me an incorrect answer
0:06:24 > 0:06:26they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32So try and avoid that. OK, our first category this afternoon is...flags.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Oh, Jenny. Have I said the wrong thing?- Yes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Flags. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42who's going to go second.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44CHATTER
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Whoever's first, step up to the podium.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Let's find out the question. Here it comes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many national flags
0:06:56 > 0:06:59that contain the colour green as they could.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- National flags that contain the colour green. Richard. - Any country whose national flag
0:07:04 > 0:07:08contains the colour green. By country, we mean sovereign state, a member of the UN.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It has to be a substantial plane of green so we won't accept
0:07:11 > 0:07:14countries that have a little bit of green on a crest or something.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18A substantial plane of green. Any country in the world. And there's plenty.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Thank you very much, Richard. Jenny and Jeannie,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23you all drew lots before the show.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24This afternoon, you get to go first.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Jenny, oh, dear, I saw that face you pulled.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Not a good subject for you?- No.
0:07:30 > 0:07:37So, Jeannie, a nice obscure flag with a substantial plane of green.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- That sounds lovely, Richard.- Nice, innit?- Substantial plane of green.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Well... I'm going to go for South Africa.- South Africa?- Yes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK, very good indeed. South Africa says Jeannie.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Let's see if it's right and if it is,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51let's see how many people said South Africa.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Well, it's right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Still going down, Jeannie.
0:08:00 > 0:08:0113. That's a great score.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04APPLAUSE
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Very well done.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- South Africa.- South Africa's got six colours on its flag.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Red, yellow, black, white, blue and green.- Thank you very much.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Now, Pat, you've come dressed in green.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Can you find an obscure flag with green in it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I hope I can, I hope this is right, because if it's not,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I will look like an idiot.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Green is my favourite colour, so, that's pretty cool.- That's good.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'm going to go for Libya.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Libya, says Pat. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You hope to score as few points as possible.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Let's see how many people said Libya.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It's right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Down it goes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Very, very well done, Pat. It's a great answer.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50APPLAUSE
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well done, three points for Libya.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Very well played, Pat. Exactly right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Well done, Pat. Three points.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So, Liz, we're looking for a nice obscure flag
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- with a plane of green in it.- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You have a sort of face on
0:09:05 > 0:09:08that suggests you're not loving this category.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm just trying to think back to Eurovision
0:09:10 > 0:09:12because that's the only geography I know.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Nothing wrong with that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I think I've got one, and I don't know if it's right,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19but I'm going to go with Albania.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Albania. What do you think, Tom?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I have no idea, you know, Alex.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27If not, we've had a lovely time, we had a lovely day out,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31it's been a nice trip down and, hopefully, we'll, erm...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34see you again soon.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Albania, says Liz.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39There's a vote of confidence for you, Liz. I think it's a fantastic answer.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You must score as few points as possible. Is it right,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46and if it is, let's see how many people said Albania.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Oh! Bad luck, Liz.- Sorry.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58You may well not be the last person to score 100 points in this round. Richard.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Sorry, Liz. It's red with two black eagles, the Albanian flag.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Or a black double-headed eagle, but it's much the same thing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I like the fact that Tom is calling you Alex.- I'm liking Alex.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I like the Alexandra and Alex.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I might start calling you Lexie. - Lexo.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- You like?- Yeah. Brilliant. We'll have that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Away you go, Lexie. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Now, then. James.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I want a lovely obscure flag from you, James,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27with a substantial plane of green.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31And I hope to oblige, Alexander. I've been thinking very hard.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I'm a big fan of the show, seen every show and I seem to recall
0:10:34 > 0:10:39the answer I'm giving was a pointless answer five times in the very first series of the show
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and it's going to be the Central African Republic.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45The Central African Republic, a great friend of this show.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49You're hoping to score as few points as possible, James.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53If that is right and doesn't go down to at least single figures,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'll be very surprised. Let's see if it is right,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58and let's see how many people said it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well done, James, it's right.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Down it goes, still going...
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Yes!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Very well done, James. That's a pointless answer.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £2,750
0:11:18 > 0:11:19and it scores you nothing.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Well done on all counts. Richard. - Well done, James.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Proof that watching Pointless makes you clever. Very good.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29The Central African Republic, the pointless country that keeps on giving.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Blue, white, yellow, red and green in the Central African Republic flag.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Splendid.- What about that?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39We should do a live special from the Central African Republic.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40I would love that.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Tell you what I'll do, I'll find out where it is and then we'll go there.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I don't know...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I don't know which continent it's on but it sounds...sounds central.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- I think it's East Asia, I think. - Let's go there, let's go there!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'd like to go to other places, but I won't mention them in case
0:11:58 > 0:12:01they have flags with a substantial plane of green.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06That fantastic answer from James,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08oh, richly deserved, zero there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Wonderful. Then we come up to 3 from Pat
0:12:10 > 0:12:15for his Libyan flag. Then up to 13. Great answer from Jeannie.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Then I'm sorry to say, Liz, Albania has cost you dear.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:12:20 > 0:12:21100 points.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22So, then, Tom,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26you have to hope somebody else scores 100 points
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and that you can score a Pointless in the next pass.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31That way, you might make it through to the next round.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32We come back down the line,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35can the second players take their places at the podium.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Remember, we're looking for flags containing the colour green. Steve.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I've only got one answer in my head, I must be honest.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Listen, Tom and Liz are on 100 points,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49you are on no points,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51which means if you can score 99 or less
0:12:51 > 0:12:54you are through to the next round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Well, I hope I'm right with Italy. - Italy, says Steve.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Tom is nodding.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Here's your red line nice and high.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05If you can get below it, you're through to the next round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Let's see if it's right. If it is, how many people said it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Very well done, you've done it, Steve.
0:13:13 > 0:13:1546 for Italy.
0:13:18 > 0:13:2146 takes your total up to 46. Richard.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Green white and red, of course, the Italian flag.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The other end of the scale from the Central African Republic.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Very good. Tom, this is the moment of truth.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32We're looking for flags that contain the colour green.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35You're the high scorers on 100 points.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Right, well, you probably couldn't have picked the worse subject for the two of us here
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and I don't have a clue if I'm right
0:13:43 > 0:13:44but I'm going to go with Kenya.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Kenya.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, well, let's see if that's right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51There's no red line for you I'm afraid so let's see
0:13:51 > 0:13:55is Kenya right and if it is how many people said Kenya.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58It's right.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well done, Tom, down it goes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Look at that!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07APPLAUSE
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Tom, that was a heroic effort there.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- APPLAUSE - Kenya scored you one point and takes your total to 101.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- Very, very well done. Richard, 101. - Yes, very well played, Tom.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Red, black, green and white, the Kenyan flag.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Just about kept themselves in it. - Yes, indeed. Now, then,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Rob and Pat, you were on three,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30the highest scorers remain Tom and Liz on 101.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35If you can score 97 or less, Rob, you're in the next round.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I can't remember. I've got to go for...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44a country that celebrates its greenness.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I'll have to go for Ireland.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Ireland, says Rob. Ireland.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Here is your red line.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52If you get below that red line with Ireland,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55you're through to the next round. Let's see if it's right,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and if it is, how many people said Ireland.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00- You've done it.- Yes!
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Well done, Rob. 58.
0:15:05 > 0:15:0958 said Ireland. That brings your total up to 61. Richard.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12A safe answer and you're through to the next round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Of course, the Republic of Ireland's flag.
0:15:14 > 0:15:22- Jenny.- Yes.- I'm remembering the face you pulled when this round was announced.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25You are on 13. The high score is 101, Tom and Liz.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29If you can score 87 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Believe it or not, Kenya was about the only one I was sure of,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38because I was there on safari last year. So now I'm stuck.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm going to have to take a punt.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Ooh, this is music to Tom and Liz's ears.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Um... Jamaica.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Jamaica. There's your red line. Below that, you're through to the next round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Is Jamaica right? How many people said it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It is right and you are through to the next round. Very well done.
0:16:04 > 0:16:1017. That's a great score! 17 takes you both up to 30.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Richard.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Well played, Jenny. Green, yellow and black, the Jamaican flag.
0:16:16 > 0:16:24There are a huge amount of pointless answers on this board. Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Loads of other pointless answers. There's so many, I'm just going to go through the ones that rhyme.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40There's Sudan and Oman, there's Mali and Malawi and Gambia and Zambia.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46All of those have green in their flags. Most of the African countries have green in their flags somewhere.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thank you. How about our high scorers?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Let's look at the ones most of our 100 people said. We've heard some already.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Very well done if you got any of those pointless ones at home.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Thank you. So at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I'm sorry, Liz and Tom. Liz, you did what you had to do.
0:17:18 > 0:17:26You took a wild stab in the dark. Sadly, Albania doesn't have a plane of green on its flag.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Tom, heroic turn from you. You had to score low and you did.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37That was a great answer. Sadly, though, such heroism wasn't enough to rescue you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42We have to say goodbye but we will see you again next time when I'm sure we'll see much more of you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Meanwhile, thanks so much for playing. Tom and Liz. Brilliant.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:18:00 > 0:18:05so one of the teams will be leaving at the end of this round. Try and make sure it's not you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Our category for round two is:
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Oh, Jeannie, it's your turn. The UK charts.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Our round two question concerns:
0:18:31 > 0:18:37- Richard.- On each pass we're going to show you six albums that entered the UK charts between 2000 and 2010.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41We asked 100 people to name the artist or singer who released those albums.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Give us an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52It's going to be 12 albums and all 12 artists or singers to name at home.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Thank you. We are looking for the artists who released these Top 40 albums of the Noughties.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58We have got:
0:19:07 > 0:19:08I'll read those again.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Jenny. Is this better or worse than flags?- Worse.- Right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23You need to give me an answer and as always on Pointless,
0:19:23 > 0:19:29you're looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people gave.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Um...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Graduation, Lady Gaga.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Graduation, Lady Gaga.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Bad luck, Jenny.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52As I think you suspected, that is an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum 100 points.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53I'm sorry. Richard.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Not the right answer. I won't give the rightone in case the others want to have a go with it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:06- Pat, we come to you.- When I stepped up to the podium, I thought I was going to bottle it
0:20:06 > 0:20:14but I know four out of six, so I think I'll go for Elephunk and that being Black Eyed Peas.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Black Eyed Peas, Elephunk. Let's see if it's right,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and if so, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Very well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:2649.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3249 for Black Eyed Peas.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Good answer. Their breakthrough album. Included Where Is The Love. First one to feature Fergie as well.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Plenty of people knew it.- Very good.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Steve, you're the last one so you can fill in all the blanks.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Erm... I'll fill in one of the blanks.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think I know one and I think I can guess another.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54I guess Justified is Justin Timberlake but I could be wrong.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55But I'm going to go,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and it's the only one I know cos it's not my era,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00American Idiot is Green Day.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- American Idiot, Green Day. - The rest I don't know.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08It doesn't matter, if that's right. Let's see. Green Day. Is it right? How many people knew that?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11It's right!
0:21:13 > 0:21:1552.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- 52. Quite a high score there. - Highest score on the board, actually.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26From 2004, number one album that's been made into a musical, won various Tony Awards.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Let's have a look at the rest of them. If you had gone for Justified,
0:21:30 > 0:21:35you're right, it's Justin Timberlake. It would've scored you lower points too. Would've scored you 35.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Graduation is Kanye West. That would've scored you 24.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Ta-Dah, it sounds like a Pet Shop Boys album,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44but it's the Scissor Sisters. Would've scored you 17.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49The best answer on the board is Is This It. You know that one? Another American guitar band.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- Strokes?- The Strokes. Well done if you said The Strokes. You'd have scored 11 points.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0349 is our lowest score on this pass, from Pat. Up to 52 for Steve
0:22:03 > 0:22:09and up substantially to Jenny and Jeannie on 100.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You're not as far ahead as you might've been.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14We've had much lower scoring rounds.
0:22:14 > 0:22:22Anything can happen on the next pass provided you, Jeannie, find a nice obscure album from the Noughties.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23(I don't think so!)
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, who knows?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Back down the line. Can the second players take their places?
0:22:32 > 0:22:37We're going to put six more Top 40 albums from the Noughties on our board. Here we are.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We have got:
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I'll read those one more time.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We're looking for the artists who released these Top 40 albums of the Noughties,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of 100 people knew.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06James, you've been good so far. What's the board looking like?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Not good, I'm afraid.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I'm not much of a music listener and albums a bit a worse.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I think I know Good Girl Gone Bad but I'm not certain enough,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20so I'm going twith the only one I'm sure of, Back To Black, which is Amy Winehouse.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Back To Black, Amy Winehouse, you say? Let's see how you do.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26The highest scorers are Jeannie and Jenny on 100.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30If you can score 47 or less with this, you're definitely through to the next round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34There's your red line. Below that, through you go.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Back To Black, Amy Winehouse. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Well done. It's right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:4856. That takes your total up to 108.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Richard.- Yeah, big score for Amy Winehouse.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Won five Grammys in 2008, including the title track and Rehab as well.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Thanks very much. Rob, you are on 49.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The highest scorers at the moment are James and Steve on 108.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10If you can score 58 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15We're looking for the artists who released these albums in the Noughties.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I'll have a go at In Rainbows. Radiohead.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24In Rainbows, Radiohead, says Rob. There is your red line.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Let's see if Radiohead get you below it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31In Rainbows. Is it by Radiohead, and if so, how many people knew it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Yes, it's right.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Through you go.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Very well done indeed, Rob.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48That's a fantastic answer and our lowest score of the round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:5310 takes you up to 59. Richard.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well played, Robert. Again, released in 2008.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00They released it as a digital download. You could pay what you wanted for it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- How much did you pay for it?- My cats ran across my keyboard when I was doing it. I paid £8,000.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Worth every penny. - Every penny of that eight grand.
0:25:11 > 0:25:19Now then. Jeannie. We're looking for the artists who released the albums in the Noughties.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Here is the moment where you could snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The high scorers on 108 are James and Steve.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29If you can score seven or less, through you go.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33You can think out loud if you like, talk us through the board.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38I can't talk you through the board because I don't know one there.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43So I'm just going to have a big guess and it's probably going to be totally wrong.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49I'm going to go with Only By The Night, The Arctic Monkeys.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55Only By The Night, The Arctic Monkeys. How brilliant would it be if that were right?
0:25:55 > 0:26:02- It would be a miracle.- That would just be my favourite moment on the whole of Pointless.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Only By The Night, Arctic Monkeys. Is it right?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09How many people said it? There's a red line for you and it's there.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15- If you get below the line, it'll be the best thing ever.- It will.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Only By The Night, Arctic Monkeys. Is it right?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Oh!
0:26:22 > 0:26:28Bad luck, Jeannie. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means you scored a maximum of 100 points,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32taking you're total up to 200. You join our illustrious 200 Club.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Richard.- I think you both struggled manfully with that round.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39An impressive display.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43You will kick yourself when I tell you who Only By The Night is by.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- It was by the Kings of Leon!- Oh!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Can you believe it?!
0:26:49 > 0:26:54You could've said Lady Gaga as well and told us The Fame.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57That would've scored you 42 points.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- Good Girl Gone Bad. Who did you think it was, James?- Was it Shakira?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05No, it's by the Central African Republic, I'm afraid.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- Hard not to get that one!- It's by Rihanna. That would've scored you 51.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16The one that could've got you through, Jeannie, and again you'll kick yourself,
0:27:16 > 0:27:22if you said Funeral by Arcade Fire. Six points would've got you through.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Your favourite Canadian multi-instrumentalists, Arcade Fire.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Well done if you said Arcade Fire at home. It's the best answer on the board.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Thank you. At the end of round two. the losing pair with the highest score, Jenny and Jeannie.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- I'm sorry. This was a stinker of a round for you, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Dear, oh, dear.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47It was bread last time and albums of the Noughties this time.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Next time, maybe.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Next time, maybe. If only there were a next time.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56What will you be taking away from your Pointless experience?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's been great fun. We've met some really nice people.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02The only shame for us is we haven't got to see you at your best.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I'm sure there would've been rounds which you could've dazzled us.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10You've been hobbled by these, frankly, hopeless questions we've been giving you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I'm sorry about that, but thanks very much for playing.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17You've been brilliant contestants. Jenny and Jeannie. Brilliant.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23For the remaining two pairs things are about to get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to head.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Very well done, Pat and Rob and James and Steve. You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:28:38 > 0:28:42and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Just come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you'll win that question.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Let's play Pointless.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11OK. Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:11 > 0:29:16to name as many rhinoceroses as they could.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Rhinoceroses. Richard. - Not individual Rhinoceroses.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23We need any of the five living species of rhinoceros.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29Pat and Rob, cos you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Rhinoceroses.
0:29:34 > 0:29:41We haven't got that many answers since it's a very specific subject in rhinos-ih-si... rhinocesaur?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Rhinoceri.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48But me dad said one, which must be right, the white rhinoceros.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52The white rhinoceros. Sounds good to me. James and Steve.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56I don't know. It's a tricky one, this.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59White's an obvious one, so is black.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Steve mentioned blue but I don't know if that's right.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- What do you want, mate? Black or blue?- Black.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Are you sure black's right?- Black, yes black. All right.- Black.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Black please, Alexander. - We have white and we have black.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Pat and Rob went with white. Let's see if that's right and if it is
0:30:17 > 0:30:20let's see how many people said white rhinoceros.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It's right.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2769.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30But it's in there. It's in there.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:34The black rhinoceros, say James and Steve.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Let's see if that's right.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Let's see how many people said it. Will it go below 69?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Black rhino.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45It's right.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Yes, you've done it. Very well done. 51.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50APPLAUSE
0:30:52 > 0:30:5651 beats 69. Which means after one question,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Steve and James are ahead 1-0. Richard.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Yes, well played, guys. No blue rhino out there.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Let's take a look at all five and see what you could've won with.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09The Sumatran rhino, there's only 250 of them in the world,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11the smallest rhinos, would've scored six points.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15The Javan rhino, also one of the world's rarest mammals,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17just in Java and Vietnam, with eight.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19The Indian would've scored you 15.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22There's black on 51 and white with 69.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28It's a mistranslation of wide, it's got a very wide mouth, the Dutch word, white rhino.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30So it's not white at all.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31But just wide.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33OK. Here is your second question,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Pat and Rob, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:39 > 0:31:43to name as many Oscar-winning British actors since 2000.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Oscar winning British actors, Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50We're looking for the name of any British actor or actress who's won an acting Oscar
0:31:50 > 0:31:52from 2000 through to the 2011 ceremony.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56That's Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor, males or females.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00James and Steve, you get to go first this time.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04We're going to go with Tilda Swinton, Alexander.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Tilda Swinton. Very good. Tilda Swinton.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Pat and Rob, what are you going to go for?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Just took our answer.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Sorry.- I'm going to have to go for an obvious answer, Kate Winslet.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Kate Winslet. We have Tilda Swinton, we have Kate Winslet.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24OK, James and Steve, we've gone for Tilda Swinton.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Tilda Swinton.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31It's right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Down it goes. Very low.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Oh, fantastic! - APPLAUSE
0:32:43 > 0:32:48That's a pointless answer. That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51taking the total up to a lovely, round £3,000.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Unbelievable.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01And that, I'm afraid that gives Pat and Rob a score of nothing to beat.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- What's the odds of that?- Yes. - He got that, exactly the same.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- And that was going to be yours.- Yes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12So, Pat and Rob, you have a mountain to climb here
0:33:12 > 0:33:15and this is the mountain that will keep you in the game.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Kate Winslet. Let's see if that's right
0:33:17 > 0:33:20and if it is, let's see how many people said Kate Winslet.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The best you can hope for is a draw here.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25It's right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31No, 22.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33APPLAUSE
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Very, very bad luck.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Tough luck, tough luck.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42That means after two questions only,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44James and Steve are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Richard.- Well played, James and Steve. They're good, aren't they?
0:33:48 > 0:33:52There is another pointless answer that would've tied the point
0:33:52 > 0:33:54and it's a fairly well-known one as well.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Well done at home if you said Daniel Day Lewis.- I said that too.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Won Best Actor for There Will Be Blood.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Tilda Swinton won Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Rachel Weisz, Best Supporting Actress for The Constant Gardener, would've scored you 21.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Christian Bale, Best Supporting Actor for The Fighter, one.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Jim Broadbent, Best Supporting Actor for Iris, two.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Michael Caine, Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, three.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Catherine Zeta Jones, Best Supporting Actor in Chicago.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Kate Winslet, who won Best Actress for The Reader. 22,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Helen Mirren, Best Actress for The Queen, 47
0:34:27 > 0:34:30and Colin Firth, Best Actor for The King's Speech, 53.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Very well done if you got one of those pointless answers.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Very, very well done if you got both of them.- Yes, thank you.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43I'm afraid it's Pat and Rob. Oh dear, oh dear.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46That's harsh, isn't it? To have your answer taken.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50But a fantastic and a very hard fought head-to-head,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53dealt with in only two questions, which is rare.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58But it means, when we see you next time, which we look forward to,
0:34:58 > 0:35:03we shall hope for great things from you. Meanwhile, thanks for playing, Pat and Rob. Excellent contestants.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05APPLAUSE
0:35:05 > 0:35:11But, for James and Steve, it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Congratulations, James and Steve. You fought off all the competition
0:35:21 > 0:35:25and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of today's show,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- the jackpot stands at £3,000. - APPLAUSE
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Not bad, is it?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Now, the rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:35:43 > 0:35:49all you have to do is find a pointless answer - an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52We've had two pointless answers today. You are responsible for both of them.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56James, you gave us Central African Republic in Round One.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00And you've just given us Tilda Swinton, so very well done.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You only have to find one more -
0:36:02 > 0:36:06one more and you will leave here with that money.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08First, though, you've got to choose a category.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11You can choose from these three options. They are...
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Dare I ask, mate? Cricket, please, Xander.- Cricket.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Certainly not the other two. - Not a moment's thought there.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Well, we see cricket matches at Headingley so it's obvious.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Let's go cricket.- Cricket it is. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:30 > 0:36:36as many cricketers who have taken more than 300 Test wickets as they could. Richard.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37We're looking for any bowler
0:36:37 > 0:36:40who's taken over 300 wickets in Test cricket
0:36:40 > 0:36:44up to the beginning of May 2011. So not one-day internationals.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Just bowlers who've taken over 300 wickets in Test cricket,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50up to the start of May 2011.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55And all you need to win that £3,000
0:36:55 > 0:37:00is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Right. So can rule out Warne - too obvious.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06What about Kapil Dev?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09He's an all-rounder. Pretty well-known, I suspect.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Shoaib Akhtar?- Possibly.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I was trying to think of some West Indians.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- Courtney Walsh - he was very high. - What about Ambrose?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Ambrose also took a lot but he's well-known.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- What about the '70s or '80s possibly when they were good? - Malcolm Marshall?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I'm trying to think of some Australians.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33I think maybe an outside chance, possibly Jason Gillespie?
0:37:33 > 0:37:39- He got 250 in the 2005 Ashes.- Yes.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- Did he play on after that? - He did a bit.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- What about Malinga? - No, I'm sure he's not that high up.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50He's never retiring is Malinga. Never retired.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53What about Laker, the England guy?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Jim Laker, he took a lot of wickets - a spinner. - Five seconds left.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I like that. Shoaib Akhtar. - Jim Laker and Jason Gillespie.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04OK, there's your minute up.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09We were looking for bowlers who've taken more than 300 Test wickets,
0:38:09 > 0:38:13as of 2011. And I now need your three answers.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16OK. We're going to go for Jim Laker,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Shoaib Akhtar
0:38:18 > 0:38:22and the Aussie, Jason Gillespie.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Of those three,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- I think Laker.- Laker. - OK, we'll put Laker last.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Akhtar first, I think.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Shoaib Akhtar first.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37And Jason Gillespie in the middle.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, so let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42And here they are.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47There they are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49OK, we were looking for bowlers who had taken
0:38:49 > 0:38:54more than 300 Test wickets, as of 2011.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57You said this was your least confident answer.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Shoaib Akhtar, there it is.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that £3,000 jackpot.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Let's see how many people said Shoaib Akhtar
0:39:07 > 0:39:11and is that a correct answer?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Oh!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Ooh. An incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Not a pointless answer. And I'm afraid that didn't give us
0:39:21 > 0:39:26an opportunity to see how much our 100 people knew about cricket.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29So, you only have two more shots at that jackpot of £3,000.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32What would you do with £3,000 if you went away with it now?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Holiday family for me. Take my wife off somewhere nice.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- Very good indeed. James, how about you?- I'd use it towards a new car.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- My car's a bit out of it now, so a nice new car, yes.- Very good indeed.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47OK, well, fingers crossed. We are looking for bowlers
0:39:47 > 0:39:50who have taken more than 300 Test wickets as of May 2011.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Let's hope nobody said your next answer. This has to be pointless
0:39:54 > 0:39:57if you're going to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Jason Gillespie. You knew he'd taken 250 as of 2005.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Fingers crossed. Jason Gillespie, is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13No!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Another incorrect answer.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20We only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22But luckily this is your most confident shot.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27You said Jim Laker was the person to put last. You thought he was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32We're looking for bowlers who've taken more than 300 Test wickets
0:40:32 > 0:40:36as of May 2011. You said this was the answer you had the most faith in, Jim Laker.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39There he is at the bottom of the table. This has to be pointless.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Very, very, very best of luck, James and Steve.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Jim Laker. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Oh, no!
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Oh, bad luck.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57APPLAUSE
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Oh, that's bad luck.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I'm afraid you don't win the £3,000 jackpot which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15But you have been fantastic contestants and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Richard.- Tough luck, guys. You played so well throughout the show.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30I think maybe you over-thought this, to be honest. There are some simpler answers that were pointless.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Just to go through your answers, Jim Laker took 193 Test wickets.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Jason Gillespie has 259. He'll stay there unless he makes an unlikely comeback.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Shoaib Akhtar, 178 up to May 2011.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Some of the names you said while you were talking,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Curtly Ambrose would have scored three. Kapil Dev scored one.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51If you'd said Malcolm Marshall, you would have just won the jackpot.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53He was a pointless answer, I'm afraid.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's take a look at all the pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And you'll recognise every name on it, I suspect.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Allan Donald of South Africa, Bob Willis of England,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Chaminda Vaas of Sri Lanka - all pointless answers.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Daniel Vettori of New Zealand, still playing now,
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Dennis Lillee of Australia, Lance Gibbs of the West Indies.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Makhaya Ntini of South Africa would have been a pointless answer,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18as is Malcolm Marshall, and as is Waqar Younis.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Sorry.- Yeah, over-thought it, I think.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Very well done if you got any of those at home.- Oh, bad luck.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29- You knew nearly all those names, didn't you? I say "nearly", I think you knew all of them.- Mm-hmm.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- You even said Marshall.- And Willis. - And Willis.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Hey-ho. We got the trophy.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Oh, well, I tell you what - you did it honourably
0:42:38 > 0:42:41because actually you were thinking very, very hard about it.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45You tried to find the most obscure answers. They were so obscure, they were wrong.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to James and Steve.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- But it's been brilliant having you on the show. Fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing.- Thank you.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:42:59 > 0:43:03which means on the next show we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
