0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30The quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Welcome back, Cheryl and Mick. You are back on the show.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This is your second chance. Now, remind us how you did.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Well, we crashed and burned on the second round, last time.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It was a very tough one. Just quickly remind me.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- I know, it was theme tunes, wasn't it?- It was.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Theme tunes to TV programmes. - Yeah.- Yes.- Very badly.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Yes, you didn't do well at all. - We scored a whole 200.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Anyway, this is a new day. What would you like to see?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Oh, geography would be good.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Or perhaps some history, that'd be pretty good as well.- Yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12History, geography. Cheryl, how about you?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Well, I like the same things.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We both like maps, so capital cities would be really handy.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, we shall see. Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22It's great to have you back.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And next, we welcome Tom and Darren. Now, how do you two know each other?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Well, I've known Darren since he was a tiny baby
0:01:28 > 0:01:31because I'm his father and he's, obviously, my son.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Very good. It's a two-way street, I see what you're saying.- It is.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37It's a father and son combination.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Darren, what do you do?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I'm a diagnostic radiographer at Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Right you are. So, that's quite high-powered.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50He's going to be very good on anything to do with diagnostic radiography.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Well-known subject, yeah.- Well, but, presumably biology, bits of biology.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Biology, yeah. A lot of anatomy. A lot of radiation physics and things.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Bit dull, really.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Well, no. It can be the kind of stuff that Pointless thrives on.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Yeah.- This is all gris to the mill, Darren.- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Tom, anything particular you'd like to see come up? Any area that...?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, horticulture because I grow exhibition onions.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Exhibition onions. - Yes. My onions are really big.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20You can see my onions any time. They're really big.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I thought you were about to say, "You could see my onions from space."
0:02:23 > 0:02:24And I was thinking that...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm interested in growing exhibition onions and leeks.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Leeks and onions, that's the North East.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yes, that's right.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Absolutely. What's the biggest onion you've grown?- Four pound.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I would love to go to one of these exhibitions.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Tell you what, you should, you should.- Where do they happen?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- They happen in local... - In pubs, quite often.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Yeah, pubs and places like that. - Onion exhibitions.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Our pub at home has a leek league.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Seriously. You get these, sort of, just ridiculous, massive leeks.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Sort of that big. - Your pub's got a massive leak?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- That's what you're saying. - Essentially, yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Well, anyway, very, very best of luck on the show.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's brilliant to have you here. And next, we welcome David and Jane.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09How do you two know each other?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14We met at school in 1972 and we've remained friends ever since.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Ever since.- Yeah.- Very well done.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And this is a friendship that will withstand
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the pressures of Pointless, do you think?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, let's wait and see.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24David's been abroad for six years
0:03:24 > 0:03:26so we're in a bit of a honeymoon period
0:03:26 > 0:03:28because he only came back recently.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- David, where have you been abroad? - I've been working in Brazil
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and based in Rio de Janeiro for the last six years.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35That sounds terrible.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yeah, we were ten minutes away from Copacabana Beach
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and it was 15 to Ipanema.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Sorry, if anyone says Copacabana, I'm afraid Barry Manilow
0:03:43 > 0:03:44just swims in, doesn't he?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45I know, I know.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49David, what do you do?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well, it's my day off today so I haven't come in uniform
0:03:51 > 0:03:53but I'm a vicar.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm so glad you didn't say traffic warden.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Why would we be sending traffic wardens out to Rio?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- You're a vicar, so, you were being a vicar in Rio as well?- That's right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07There's been an English-speaking church there for 200 years.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And they recruit vicars from the UK to go out.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Well, somebody had to do the job.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Somebody had to. Go and be the Anglican vicar in Rio.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18That must be the most competitive vicar job interview in the world.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, well, very best of luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And finally, we have got Mandy and Ryan.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Now, how do you two know each other?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Ryan's my son. He's the oldest of my three children.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Very good. Father-son, mother-son.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And he's the most hard work out of my three children.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35He's the most hard working or most hard work?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Ryan texts me in the morning,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39when he's in bed, asking for his breakfast to be taken up.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- So, I just get a text.- I hope he lives in the same house.- Yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- That's another sore point.- Yeah. Right.- He won't go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49But he texts in the morning when he needs his bacon sandwich.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Just "bacon sandwich", nothing polite or anything.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And then, if I haven't made it within about five minutes,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I get another text saying, "starving."
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- And that's it. So...- Wow.- Wow.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03So, you chose Ryan to come and be your wing man for the show.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yeah, yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Was he the obvious choice?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Most intelligent.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- I think we'll be the judge of that, though.- Do you know what?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I think if every morning you get a bacon sandwich brought to you in bed
0:05:15 > 0:05:17just by texting someone, I think you are pretty intelligent.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Whereabouts is this life of luxury you lead, Ryan?- We live in Rugby.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26In Rugby, very good. What do you do, Ryan?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm a domestic appliance engineer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31They don't mind you turning up with ketchup down you?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Not a problem at all, no. - He works for his dad.- Oh, I see.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Well, well, very best of luck. It's great to have you on the show.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes along.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45He's Merlin to my King Arthur. He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Hiya.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- You're King Arthur, are you? - Yeah. Well, I mean, not really.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Well, maybe you should think a little bit more before you say things.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah, maybe you should be able to back them up.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yeah, you're Merlin. You're the, you are, you're the wizard.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09No, not saying I'm not Merlin, I'm saying you're not King Arthur.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14We have only got one returning pair today, Cheryl and Mick,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16who went out on second round last time.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, hopefully, should do a little bit better today.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21First time in Pointless history, first time in history,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24we've had a team made up of a diagnostic radiographer
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and an onion exhibitor.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I suspect it could be a world-beating combination.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- And a lovely first round today. - Lovely first round.- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40But this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers
0:06:40 > 0:06:41they didn't get.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43To stay in the game, with a chance to win our jackpot,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now, what everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And, each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Nick and Charlie won the jackpot last time.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00So, today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16In the first round, each of you needs to give me one answer
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26they will score the maximum of 100 points. So try to avoid those.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Words.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38who's going to go second.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words
0:07:51 > 0:07:55ending in E-E-K as they could.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Words ending in E-E-K, Richard.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00We're looking for any word in the Oxford English Dictionary
0:08:00 > 0:08:03online edition that ends eek or E-E-K.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05We won't except word the word "eek" itself.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08As always, no hyphenated words allowed, no proper nouns
0:08:08 > 0:08:09so no places or people.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Just any word in the Oxford English Dictionary that ends eek, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Thank you very much.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now then, Cheryl and Mick, you all drew lots before the show
0:08:20 > 0:08:23and this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So, Cheryl, what I need from you is the most obscure word
0:08:28 > 0:08:31ending in E-E-K that you can think of.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I think. I can think of a few obvious ones.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But I think I'm going to say midweek.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Midweek. You're saying you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Let's see if it's right. And if it is, how many people said midweek.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- 2. - APPLAUSE
0:08:58 > 0:08:59I can't believe it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05That's a brilliant, brilliant answer, Cheryl.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Only two people said that. Richard.- Very well played.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13It means the middle of a week. That's the middle of a week.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You could call that midweek.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I think it's, sort of, Wednesday, Thursday. Maybe, end of Tuesday.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK, then, Tom.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26The most obscure word ending in E-E-K, according to Tom, is...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Well, I have an obvious one in my mind.- No! Don't do that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32But I'm going to go for sleek.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Sleek.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Very good. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with sleek.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how may people said sleek.
0:09:51 > 0:09:5218.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- 18, for sleek, Richard. - Yeah, good answer, Tom.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It's got a couple more obscure meanings as well.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It can mean a mud bank or it can mean a measure of fruit.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- OK, now then, Jane.- Yes. - A word ending in E-E-K.- OK.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I've got a ready obvious one, so I'm not going to have that one.- No.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm going to try tweek.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- As in, to tweek something.- Tweek. - Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24OK. Tweek, E-E-K.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27You're hoping to score as few points as you possibly can with tweek.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Let's see if it's right.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31And if it is, let's see how many people said tweek.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:435 for tweek. Very, very well done, Jane.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44APPLAUSE
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Tweek, Richard.- Yeah, and very much more commonly spelt T-W-E-A-K.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52But means the same thing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Now then, Ryan, we are looking for words ending in E-E-K.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- I've got a couple in my head. - Mmm-hmm.- My main one's been taken.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03So...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07..I'm going to go for leek.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And probably leave my mum with some work to do.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13OK. Leek, says Ryan. Let's see if it's right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And if it is, let's see how many people said leek.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Oh-oh-oh, Ryan. Bad luck.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24APPLAUSE
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- That was a high score. 80. For leek, Richard.- Yeah, very big score.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm guessing that sprung to your mind as well, Tom, did it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33When it first came up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You did very well to avoid it, I think.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Yeah, vegetable, symbol of Wales. Err.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Friend of the onion, exhibition vegetable.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Sometimes as big as that in the North East.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48OK. We are halfway through the round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Let's take a look at the scores. Cheryl and Mick are on 2,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53lovely low score.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Jane and David, just up from them on 5, fantastic score.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02Tom and Darren on 18. Ryan and Mandy, 80.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You're a long way ahead. Mandy, I hope you've got
0:12:04 > 0:12:07a killer word ending E-E-K that will
0:12:07 > 0:12:09see you through to the next round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11We're going to come back down the line.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19OK. We are looking for words that end in E-E-K.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Mandy, you're the high-scorers on 80.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25We need something very, very obscure from you, here.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29The only one I can think of, which we obviously are, is geek.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Geek.- Geek.- Splendid.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Well, you are the high-scorers on 80, so there's no red line for you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39You just have to go down as far as you possibly can with geek.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Let's hope you do.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42How many people said geek?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48- 64.- Not bad.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50APPLAUSE
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Not bad but quite a high score.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57I'm afraid, though, it takes you up to an incredibly high 144,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00which is a score no one else will be able to overtake, I'm afraid to say.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Richard.- Geek can mean someone lacking in social skills
0:13:02 > 0:13:05or someone with a vast area of knowledge in a specialist subject.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07People have accused me of being a geek in the past.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Have they? Who, who? - Just a couple of people.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11But, you know what, I put upon them
0:13:11 > 0:13:15the curse of Morgana the Emerald Goblin and everything was fine.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I am no geek.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Thank you, Richard.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24David, we're looking for words ending in E-E-K.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Jane is probably going to grimace behind my back
0:13:27 > 0:13:28with this next answer
0:13:28 > 0:13:31but I sincerely hope that this word doesn't indicate
0:13:31 > 0:13:35where we are so far, up the creek.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36- Creek.- Creek.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Doesn't matter what you score, here, you are through to the next round.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42But I think creek's a splendid answer. Let's see how it does.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44How many people said creek?
0:13:51 > 0:13:5224. Brilliant
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:13:54 > 0:13:5624 takes your total up to 29. Richard.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Yeah, well done, David. An inlet of water, a creek. Very simple.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Now then, Darren, we are looking for words ending in E-E-K.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Again, you're through to the next round whatever happens.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You'll never overtake the high score of Mandy and Ryan.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14But let's see, let's see how low your score can be.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Have you got a good answer? - Well, I've got one answer
0:14:16 > 0:14:17and it's the only...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Every other answer I thought of has actually gone.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21So, I'm going to go with cheek.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Cheek. Part of the anatomy, of course.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Diagnostic radiographer would know that.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Cheek. No red line again, you're through whatever happens.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Let's see how many people said cheek.
0:14:39 > 0:14:4014.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42APPLAUSE
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Not a bad score, at all. That takes your total up to 32.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Richard.- Yeah, well done, Tom and Darren, safely through.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51A part of the face or impertinence, of course, cheek.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57And finally, Mick. We are looking for words ending in E-E-K.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Cheryl got the lowest score, so far, with 2 and midweek.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Fantastic answer. Mick, let's see if you can equal or better
0:15:05 > 0:15:07that low score.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Well, I think I'd like to go for Greek. As in, it's all Greek to me.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- See how that works.- OK. Greek, you say.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Let's see how may people said Greek.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- Ah.- Aaaah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Unfortunately, that is an incorrect answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Takes your total up to 102.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32We will all discover why in a second.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Richard.- Well, proper noun.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Greek, of course, pertaining to the Greek people. So, with a capital.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39There's lots of pointless answers up there, though.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Let's take a look at a few of them. See how well you did at home.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Cleek is a large hook, can also be a type of golf club. Cybergeek.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50If you'd said cybergeek instead of geek you'd be in the next round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Fenugreek which, often, you get in lots of recipes,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57was a pointless answer. Gleek which is a 16th-century card game.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Houseleek which is a houseplant. Overseek, to seek too much.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Pinkcheek which is an Australian red mullet. Reseek, to seek again.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07And un'meek, which is the opposite of meek.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, thank you very much, Richard. What about the high scores?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12These are the biggest ones.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15These are the ones that most of our hundred people said.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We've seen a couple of them already.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21There's leek on 80, which we already had from Ryan.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Meek, 84. And seek, right at the top on 85.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28There's all sorts of overseek, unseek,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31aseek type words as well, which were on that pointless list.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37So, at the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38It's Mandy and Ryan.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42But it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47We will see you next time when I hope we'll see much more of you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- But, meanwhile, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Now, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So, one of the teams in front of me now, will be leaving us
0:17:06 > 0:17:07at the end of this round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Try and make sure it's not you. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Celebrities.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20who's going to go second.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, our Round Two question concerns...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Famous Stephens, Richard.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Yeah, we're going to show you a list of six clues on each pass.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41We asked 100 people to which Stephen do these clues refer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44If you give us nice obscure answer you'll score a few points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46If you gives us an incorrect answer,
0:17:46 > 0:17:47though, you're going to score 100 points.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It can be Stephen with a PH or a V. It could be a Steve.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51There's 12 in all.
0:17:51 > 0:17:5412 Stephens to guess. So, best of luck at home.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58OK. Thank you very much. So, we are looking for these famous Stephens.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59And we have got...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'll read those one more time.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39There are six famous Stephens.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Which is the most obscure one, Cheryl, that you can find?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45The one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Um, right. I think I know a couple.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Um. When you know them it's hard to think that other people won't.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00But I'm going to go with, won gold for the 800 metres in 1980.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm going to go with Steve Cram.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Steve Cram. OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09And if it is, let's see how many people said Steve Cram.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- (It's wrong.)- Oooh.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Bad luck, Cheryl.- I wasn't sure.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22That is an unfortunate mistake, there. Not Steve Cram.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Which means you scored a maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah, sorry, Cheryl.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I won't give you the answer in case Tom or Jane wants a go
0:19:29 > 0:19:31at the same question.
0:19:31 > 0:19:38- Tom.- Yes.- Stephens.- Right, well, I've been looking at the list.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I know a couple. I'm looking at the one
0:19:41 > 0:19:46which I think some of the other contestants may not know.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I do like comedy so I'm going to go for
0:19:48 > 0:19:50the comedy actor, star of The Jerk.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Steve Martin.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Steve Martin, you're saying. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57If it is, let's see how many people said Steve Martin.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Well done.
0:20:03 > 0:20:0422.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06APPLAUSE
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Very well done. Richard. - Yeah, well played, Tom.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13He co-wrote it as well, The Jerk.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Very good. Jane.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17You're the last person to have this list of Stephens.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So, if there are any you want to fill in, then please feel free
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and then pick one at the end to submit.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25OK. Well, this is my husband's name, Steve,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28so I'm hoping this category might be good for me.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- He's not up there, is he?- He's not up there. No. I wish he was.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I've just realised how people run with the name Steve.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38One of your Steve's has been eliminated.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- One of the potential Steves.- Yeah, I can think of two others.- Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47I think I'll go for that one. Won gold in 1980.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- I'm going to try Steve Ovett. - Steve Ovett, you're saying.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Let's see if that's right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56And if it is, let's see how many people said Steve Ovett.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yes, it is.
0:21:02 > 0:21:0414.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06APPLAUSE
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Very well done, Jane. Lovely low score, there. Richard.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Yeah, well played, Jane.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And, Cheryl, Steve Cram's time was really a few years later,
0:21:15 > 0:21:16'84 he won a silver.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Nothing in '80. Let's fill in the rest of the board, though.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Author. Do you want to have a go at this? Author of It and The Shining.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'll have a crack. Stephen King.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Stephen King, yeah, would have scored you 70.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Wrote A Brief History Of Time. - Stephen Hawking.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Stephen Hawking, yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Would have scored you 52.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'm sure he'd be delighted to be called a celebrity.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Youngest world professional snooker champion.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Stephen Hendry.- It is Stephen Hendry, well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It was either him or Davis, wasn't it? 42.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46And became PM of Canada in 2006.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50We've had him as an answer on this show before. Well done, at home.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Two points. If you said Stephen Harper.- Harper.- Stephen Harper.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56OK. We're halfway through the round.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, let's take a look at the scores at this stage.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Jane and David looking very good on 14.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Up a tiny bit to Tom and Darren on 22.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And then we go a long way up, I'm sorry to say,
0:22:08 > 0:22:09to Cheryl and Mick on 100.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Mick, you're going to have to hope that you can squirrel out
0:22:12 > 0:22:15the lowest score on the next board and that somebody else makes a mistake.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Otherwise, we may have to say goodbye to you at the end of the round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28OK. We're going to put six more Stephens on the board
0:22:28 > 0:22:29and here we go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'll read those one more time.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03So, remember, we are looking for famous Stephens
0:23:03 > 0:23:04described on the board.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05And, obviously,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Now, David. What does that board look like to you?
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Um, yeah, there are a couple there I could have a go at, I think.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22But I'm going to go for the MP who defeated Portillo in 1997.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- I believe that was Stephen Twigg. - Stephen Twigg, you say.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Very good, indeed.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Mick and Cheryl are on 100 which means, as you are on 14, if you
0:23:32 > 0:23:35could score 85 or less with this, you're through to the next round.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36That's what it looks like.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39There's the red line. Below there, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Stephen Twigg. Let's see how many people said that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Very well done. You are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Very well done, indeed, David.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- One point takes your total up to 15. Richard.- Yeah, well done, David.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He won Enfield Southgate, of course, in 1997.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And now, only one person remembers him,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09but everyone still remembers Portillo.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now then, Darren. Famous Stephens.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16The high-scorers remain, Mick and Cheryl on 100.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19You are on 22 which means if you can score 77 or less,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25OK. I can't think of the names of a couple up there,
0:24:25 > 0:24:26but there's two that I do know.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I think they'll be high points
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but I'm going to go for host of Q.I. Stephen Fry.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Stephen Fry. Host of Q.I.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38You're hoping to score 77 or less, as I say, there's your red line.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It's not as low as it could be.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Stephen Fry, let's see.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:55 > 0:24:5978, that scored you. Takes your total up to 100.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Richard.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Yeah, popular show, popular man, popular answer. 78 points.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Very good. So, then, Mick and Cheryl,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09you are on 100.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Darren and Tom are on 100.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Maybe there's a pointless answer on that board, Mick.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18They'll have to be if you're going to survive.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Talk us through the board, Mick.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Ah, well, The Great Escape, that's got to be Steve McQueen.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I don't know the Sweeney Todd musical theatre composer
0:25:31 > 0:25:33or the lead singer of Aerosmith.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37But the co-writer of The Office is Stephen Merchant.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, I guess, I'll go for that.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42OK. You have to score nothing with this.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Very best of luck. Stephen Merchant, is it right?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46How many people said it?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49It's right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Well, it was a good, low score, Mick. But I'm afraid it's too high.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Takes your total up to 126.- Yeah, it's a really good answer, Mick.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And it's just unfortunate, the Cram-Ovett mix-up in the first bit.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09So, that's tough luck.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, Stephen Merchant co-wrote The Office.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Actually, he's six-foot seven.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Wow.- Imagine being that tall. - Imagine.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's have a look at the rest.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're quite right, Mick, starred in The Great Escape,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24it was Steve McQueen. It would have scored you 58.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Alexander, do you know the other two? The lead singer of Aerosmith?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Steve Tyler.- Steven Tyler, yeah. Would've scored you 39.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- And the composer?- Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim, exactly.
0:26:32 > 0:26:3410 points, that's a good answer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Very well done if you got Stephen Twigg, like David,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39that's the best answer on the board.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'm very sorry to say, Mick and Cheryl.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And, Cheryl, so unfair. Steve Cram was a brilliant answer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- I got confused.- Well, I mean, easily done.- Not to worry.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54You're only four years out.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Well, you were in the second round last time and left then.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00And you leave at the end of the second round this time.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04So, I can't fault your consistency, but it's a great shame, though,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06that you're not going to be here a little bit longer.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Anyway, thank you very much.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Mick and Cheryl, brilliant contestants, thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:15For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get
0:27:15 > 0:27:18even more exciting, now, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Very well done, David and Jane, Tom and Darren.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:27:30 > 0:27:35and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40For each question, each pair needs to give me
0:27:40 > 0:27:43just one answer but you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less
0:27:45 > 0:27:48than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Let's play Pointless.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01OK, here is your first question.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:03 > 0:28:07to name as many Best Animated Feature Oscar Winners as they could.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Best Animated Feature Oscar Winners. Richard.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Looking for any film that's been given
0:28:11 > 0:28:13the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars
0:28:13 > 0:28:15since that Oscar was first given out in 2002,
0:28:15 > 0:28:20up to and including the 2011 ceremony, please.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Not including Best Animated Short, just Best Animated Feature.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Now, David and Jane, cos you played best
0:28:27 > 0:28:29throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32We're looking for Best Animated Feature Oscar winning films.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41OK. Do we have an answer?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44This is a bit risky. Um.
0:28:44 > 0:28:51But I seem to remember there was an Iranian film that was animated
0:28:51 > 0:28:53and won something.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56So, I'm going to have a guess and I think it was called Persepolis.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57- Persepolis.- Yeah.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Very, very good. I wonder if it's right. But it's a brilliant answer.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Persepolis. Tom and Darren.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Err.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Not too sure but we're probably going to play it safe-ish
0:29:11 > 0:29:13and go with Toy Story.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Toy Story.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19So, Persepolis and Toy Story.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Take them in the order they've been given.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26David and Jane, Persepolis. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Ooh.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- Sorry.- Bad luck. But exactly the right attitude.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Tom and Darren have gone with Toy Story. Let's see. Is that right?
0:29:38 > 0:29:42At this stage, all it has to be is correct and you will win this question.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Toy Story.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Oooff.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Not Toy Story, either.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54So, nil-nil after the first question. Richard.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Yeah, Persepolis, nominated for an Oscar in 2008,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59lost to Ratatouille, funnily enough.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Toy Story, too early to get that Best Animated Film Oscar.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04You'll see that one of the Toy Story's did
0:30:04 > 0:30:06when we look at the whole list.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Wallace & Gromit In Curse Of The Were-Rabbit,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11that won Best Animated Feature, 1 point.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Spirited Away, the Japanese animation was 1.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16All of these are familiar films, especially to parents out there.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Wall-E and Ratatouille both scored 2.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Happy Feet, the dancing penguin film, 3.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22The Incredibles, 3.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Toy Story 3 won the Oscar in 2011, seven points.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Finding Nemo, 9. Up, 11. And Shrek, 23.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Thank you very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Still no score from either pair, at this stage.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:40 > 0:30:43to name as many American Wimbledon Winners as they could.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46American Wimbledon Winners, Richard.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Yeah, we're looking for any American winner of a men's
0:30:49 > 0:30:53or women's singles title at Wimbledon since the Open Era began in 1968.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Up to and including 2010, please.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Any American singles title winner at Wimbledon.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Thank you very much.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Now then, Tom and Darren, you get to go first this time.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- I'm not too sure about this one. - OK.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14So, we're going to have, more or less, a punt at it. Um.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- I think it's Chuck Connors. - Chuck Connors.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22OK, Tom and Darren are saying Chuck Connors.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26David and Jane.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Is this a good category for you? - I do play a bit of tennis.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32But not at Wimbledon standard.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33But I seem to remember, back in the '70s,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38Stan Smith winning Wimbledon and he was certainly an American.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- So, Stan Smith, you're going to say. - Yeah.- We have Chuck Connors.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46We have Stan Smith. Tom and Darren, Chuck Connors, you are saying.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Let's see if that's right.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50And if it is, let's see how many people said Chuck Connors.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Ooh.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Oh, we've had a run of incorrect answers.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Well, that means, David and Jane,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01your answer of Stan Smith only has to be correct.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03That's all it has to be and you will win this question.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Stan Smith, is it right? How many people said it?
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It's right, well done.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It's not only right, it's a wonderful low score.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Look at that, 7.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21That's a great answer, David.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23But, as I said, it only had to be right and it was.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Which means, after two questions, we now have a leader.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28David and Jane, one-nil. Richard.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Yeah, well done, David. 1972, beat Ilie Nastase.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- You're thinking of Jimmy Connors. - Jimmy Connors, yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Chuck Connors is an American actor. - That's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Jimmy Connors won it twice. Let's take a look at all the right answers.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40See how well you did at home.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44No pointless answers but Lindsay Davenport, best answer there. On 1.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Stan Smith, 7. Andre Agassi, of course, 16. Arthur Ashe, 17.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Pete Sampras, 19, there, alongside Chris Evert, also 19.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Serena Williams, 20.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Martina Navratilova, of course, took American citizenship, 24.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Venus Williams, 29, alongside Jimmy Connors, 29, there.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Billie Jean King, 30 and John McEnroe right at the top, on 63.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Very well done if you got Lindsay Davenport and Stan Smith as well.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Thank you, Richard. Here is your third question.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Tom and Darren, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:33:16 > 0:33:20to name as many UK Cities Beginning With B as they could.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22UK Cities Beginning With B, Richard.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Yes, simply looking for
0:33:23 > 0:33:25any officially recognised cities in the UK
0:33:25 > 0:33:27that begin with the letter B, please.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30OK. Now then, David and Jane, you go first this time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36OK, we have an answer.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41OK, um, I'm going to go with Bangor.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Bangor.- Northern Ireland.
0:33:43 > 0:33:50OK, Bangor. Tom and Darren. You have to win this point, remember.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52To stay in the game.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Br...- That was the one that we were going to go with but...- Bradford.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- Bradford.- Bradford. OK. We have Bangor and Bradford.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02David and Jane said Bangor.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Let's see if that's right.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06And if it is, let's see how many people said Bangor.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09It's right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Oh, well done.
0:34:22 > 0:34:243 for Bangor.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Now then, Tom and Darren, Bradford, you are saying.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It has to be right and it has to go below 3.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Otherwise we say goodbye to you.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Bradford. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41It is right.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:50 > 0:34:52It was right but it was a very high score
0:34:52 > 0:34:54compared to that lovely low 3 of Bangor.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Which means, after three questions, we have a result.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00David and Jane are through to the final. Two-nil. Richard.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Yeah, Bangor's an absolutely brilliant answer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05It's one of those that's always on those lists, isn't it?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Of the smaller British cities.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Bangor, Lichfield, those sorts of places.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11It's actually not the one in Northern Ireland, it's the one Wales.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14But it's the best answer on the board. Well done if you said it at home.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Let's take a look at all of them.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21There's Bangor, on 3. Belfast, 18. Bath, 35. Brighton & Hove, 40.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24There's Bradford on 46. Bristol, 64.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26And Birmingham right at the top, on 95.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Very well done if you got all of those.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Tom and Darren.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Yeah, just categories didn't come up that we wanted, really.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- That was tough, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41I was actually pipped at the post because I did say to Darren, Bangor.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44And, of course, we didn't have the first go.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47You didn't have first dibs. But you've done incredibly well.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50You've come through to the head-to-head which is fantastic.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52And played phenomenally throughout the show.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54But we will see you again next time
0:35:54 > 0:35:56when, I hope, we'll see you all the way through to the final.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59But, meanwhile, Tom, Darren, thanks so much for playing. Brilliant.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01APPLAUSE
0:36:01 > 0:36:04But, for David and Jane, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:36:04 > 0:36:08and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,000.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Congratulations, David and Jane.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18You have fought off all the competition
0:36:18 > 0:36:20and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34There it is.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38The rules are very simple.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40To win that money, you have to find a pointless answer.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43That's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Now, we haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48You only have to find one, now, and you will go home with that money.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50First, you've got to choose a category.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54And you can choose from these three options. They are.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- We'll go for The Olympics, please. - The Olympics.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- That didn't take you long at all. - No.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07This suggests it's a category that you feel very comfortable in.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- It's a category David feels very comfortable with.- Thank you, Jane.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Let's hope I don't let you down.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Splendid. OK, well, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:19 > 0:37:222012 Olympic Games Venues as they could.
0:37:22 > 0:37:242012 Olympic Games Venues. Richard.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Yeah, we're looking for the name of any venue outside of the Olympic Park
0:37:27 > 0:37:31that's been chosen to host an event in the 2012 summer games in London.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Any venue outside the Olympic Park
0:37:33 > 0:37:36for any events in the 2012 Olympics, please.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:39 > 0:37:41and all you need to win that £1,000 jackpot
0:37:41 > 0:37:44is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- OK, have you got any ideas? - The only one I know.- Go on.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Is Weymouth for the...- They're doing the sailing at Weymouth.- That's it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55They're doing the football at various venues around the country
0:37:55 > 0:37:57but one of them, not far from us, at Coventry.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- I didn't know that. OK, I trust you completely.- Go for that one.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And when I was in Rio de Janeiro,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I met the beach volleyball British team.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09We were talking about the Olympics
0:38:09 > 0:38:11and they were saying they're going to play in Horse Guards Parade.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Yes, I knew that.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16So, Horse Guards Parade, Weymouth and Coventry.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Coventry, I think is... - Coventry Football Ground.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Cos I hadn't heard that at all.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Are you happy?- Yeah, I'm happy. - OK.- Shall we stop the clock?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Yeah, yeah, we're there.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28We looking for 2012 Olympic Games Venues.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37We go for the sailing at Weymouth. We go for Horse Guards Parade
0:38:37 > 0:38:40and Coventry City Football Ground.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41OK.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Coventry City Football Ground. - Coventry City Football Ground. OK.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- And your least likely?- Weymouth?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- A lot of people know about Horse Guards.- That's true.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Make Horse Guards the... - Horse Guards is your first answer.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Weymouth in the middle. - Weymouth is in the middle.- Yeah.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01And Coventry City Football Ground last. OK.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05We'll put them up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13There they are.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16OK. Well, we're looking for 2012 Olympic Games Venues.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19You said this was your least likely answer to be pointless.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Let's see. You only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:23 > 0:39:24to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Let's see how many people said Horse Guards Parade.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30You're pretty sure it's correct.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- Yeah.- Let's see how many people said Horse Guards Parade.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Well, down it goes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43This is your first shot at that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46If this goes down to 0, you leave with that money.
0:39:46 > 0:39:4718!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49APPLAUSE
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Yeah, yeah.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54But you said, Jane, a lot of people know about Horse Guards Parade.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- I knew about it.- Lots written about it.- That says a lot.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01which means you only have two more shots at that £1,000 jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04But what would you do with £1,000, David?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06I'd like to do a bit of travelling, maybe,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09take my wife and little girl away for a weekend somewhere.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12It's quite hard to take weekends away in my profession.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- It is, exactly.- But sometimes it's possible and it's what I hope to do.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Is there some nice locum or someone else you can ask to fill in?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- There is, indeed, yeah.- Phew. Very good. What about you, Jane?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Well, my son's gone to live in Vietnam
0:40:25 > 0:40:28and I'd really like to go visit him.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- He wants me to go and visit him so that would be perfect.- Very good.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Well, very, very best of luck. You have two more shots at that jackpot.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Let's hope you get it with one of these two. Firstly, it's Weymouth.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Let's see if it's right and if it's pointless. Weymouth.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It's right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Well, 18 was your score for Horse Guards, this has to go
0:40:53 > 0:40:57all the way down to 0 if it's going to win you that jackpot.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Down it goes. Oh.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:0211.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Well, now, it's all moving in the right direction.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10We're looking for 2012 Olympic Games Venues.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14You have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17And it is Coventry City Football Ground.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21This was the answer you said you were most confident with.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23This has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27If it is both of those things, you will be leaving here with £1,000.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Let's find out. Coventry City Football Ground, is it right?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31And if it is, how many people said it?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Very, very best of luck, David and Jane.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35This is your last shot at the jackpot.
