0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Thank you very much.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless,

0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, welcome, Viv and Jim,

0:00:39 > 0:00:41you're our first pair this afternoon.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42How do you two know each other?

0:00:42 > 0:00:46We're husband and wife, and have been for 40 years.

0:00:46 > 0:00:4740 years?

0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Congratulations.- Thank you. - Jim, what do you do?

0:00:49 > 0:00:53At the moment, I'm retired, but I was a building site manager.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56A building site manager. And how about you, Viv?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- I'm a director of an air conditioning company.- We've had...

0:00:59 > 0:01:02We've got a few air conditioning people on the show.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04We had an air conditioning driver, didn't we?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Yeah, yeah. It's just pretty hearty representation

0:01:07 > 0:01:10from the air conditioning community, which is good.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's a breath of fresh air for this show.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14LAUGHTER

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- So you're still working flat out, then?- Yes, yes, ten-hour days.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21You come back, and is Jim making himself useful around the home?

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Yes, yes, he has the dinner ready, he does the washing,

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- does the ironing.- Very... Seriously?- Seriously.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Do you watch game shows while you're ironing, ever?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32I record them.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Quite right. If you're watching this, you'd leave lots of burns, wouldn't you?

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Splendid. Well, it's great to have you on the show,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41a warm welcome to you. Best of luck.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43And next we welcome back Phil and Carol.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46You were on the show last time. Remind us what happened.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Well, we did rather well, we got to the head-to-head...

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Yeah, you did, you did very well.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54..but sadly we didn't know the Chas and Dave hits.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59He got Chas and Dave confused with Right Said Fred,

0:01:59 > 0:02:01so that didn't bode too well!

0:02:01 > 0:02:02HE LAUGHS

0:02:02 > 0:02:07The other pair just knew rather too much about Chas and Dave,

0:02:07 > 0:02:09so in many ways you're the winners there.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12What would you like to come up this afternoon, Carol?

0:02:12 > 0:02:16I think we'd both quite like entertainment, television.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Bit of sport for you, maybe?- Bit of sport? What particularly, Phil?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22What would be your favourite sports to come up?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Just any sport that's not rugby union.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Any sport that's not rugby union? - Or rugby league.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Or rugby league.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33It's pretty rugby union heavy today, I'm afraid.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Very good. It's lovely to have you back.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Very warm welcome back to you. Next, we welcome Chrissie and Suzy.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40How do you know each other?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42We work together at a primary school

0:02:42 > 0:02:46- and have done for about 11 years, I think. That right?- Yeah.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50- And whereabouts is that?- In Taunton.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Taunton in Somerset?- Yeah.- Whose idea was it to come on the show?

0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Mine.- Chrissie's.- I'm guilty. - Suzy, did you take much persuasion?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Not a huge amount, no.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00I quite like this show.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05- I've been practising every day... - She loves this show! She loves it!

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Do you know what? I'm going to come out and say as well -

0:03:07 > 0:03:10I quite like this show, as well.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I know you disagree with me, but I don't mind it.- I'm pretty...

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yeah, it's OK.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17As you know, I'm fairly lukewarm.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Well, you've proven yourselves to be a strong team over 11 years,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27let's hope this friendship will withstand three-quarters of an hour of Pointless.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Very best of luck, great to have you on the show.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And finally we've got Nicole and Andre. How do you two know each other?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37We're married, been married a year this year.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42We met in Barbados five years ago, when I used to be cabin crew.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47- And where are you from? - Erm, Warrington in Cheshire.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50And you dragged him back to Warrington in Cheshire?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Kicking and screaming, yes.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Andre...- We're happy!

0:03:54 > 0:03:57THEY LAUGH

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Andre, what do you do? - I'm a chef...- A chef?

0:04:00 > 0:04:05..at a small British restaurant in Warrington, in the town centre.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10And how often do you look out the window and think, "What am I doing here?!"

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Every day!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Do you have a signature dish?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18My signature dish would probably be my chocolate cake.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- It actually is the best chocolate cake ever.- It's true.- And it's true.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- It is true.- Well, I obviously can't be the judge of that

0:04:25 > 0:04:27because I haven't got a slice in front of me,

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Andre, but if you don't make it through to the final

0:04:30 > 0:04:34you'll be on the next show, and there'll be ample opportunity.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37It'd be lovely if they didn't get through to the final, wouldn't it?

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Wouldn't it?- No offence, but that would be lovely.- This time.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Yeah, next time they can. - Slice of chocolate cake, who knows what could happen?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Well, very, very best of luck to the pair of you, great to have you on the show.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50We'll find out more as we go on.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52There's only one person left to introduce.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55He has made his very own "facts of the day" loo roll.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Today's fact is, it is impossible to lick your own elbow.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- He is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- How are you?- I'm very well.- Is that true, you can't lick your own elbow?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12It was on your loo roll!

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- That was today's fact. - It should be a cracking show today.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Phil and Carol are our only returning pair,

0:05:19 > 0:05:21they did well last time, got to the head-to-head,

0:05:21 > 0:05:25performed very well there, but the other three pairs, all newcomers.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30The first question today is one of those ones where some people will know every single answer,

0:05:30 > 0:05:34a lot of people won't know any answers at all. It'll be an interesting one.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Might be awful for some people and wonderful for others, I suspect.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42We put our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless

0:05:42 > 0:05:44so we want the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46To stay in with a chance to win our jackpot,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54But what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,

0:06:01 > 0:06:04so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06APPLAUSE

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Let's play Pointless.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21In the first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they'll score 100 points, so try and avoid those.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32OK, our first category this afternoon is...

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:06:43 > 0:06:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many TV "Gladiators" as they could.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53TV Gladiators, Richard?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55We're looking for any of the Gladiators that appeared

0:06:55 > 0:07:00in the original UK TV series, which ran from 1992-2000.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Just looking for their Gladiator names, not their real names,

0:07:03 > 0:07:06so any of the original TV Gladiators, please.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Plenty of names on this list.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Right, Viv and Jim, you all drew lots before the show,

0:07:10 > 0:07:13and this afternoon you get to go first.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Jim, is this...

0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's a question you love or a question you hate.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20I've got an answer,

0:07:20 > 0:07:24but, unfortunately, I think he could be quite a popular chappy.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26OK, what's it going to be?

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Wolf.- Wolf. I knew you were going to say that.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33OK, well you're hoping to score as few points as possible with Wolf.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Wolf.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's right.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44APPLAUSE

0:07:44 > 0:07:4569, Jim.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48That's a lot better than 100,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52which I think we might be seeing quite a lot of on this round. Richard?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Yeah, Wolf, very well done.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Appeared in all eight series, Michael Van Wijk.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Thank you very much, Richard.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Now, Phil, I'm going to tell you right now,

0:08:01 > 0:08:04your sister is making this face...

0:08:04 > 0:08:07So you are going to have to find one that scores as low as possible

0:08:07 > 0:08:11to atone for what Carol might have to say on the next pass.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13The one I'm going to go for,

0:08:13 > 0:08:16he was my favourite, I'm going to go with Shadow.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Shadow? You're hoping to score as few points as possible.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Let's see if Shadow is a correct answer and, if it is,

0:08:22 > 0:08:24let's see how many people said Shadow.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Very well done, Phil.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Down it goes into new ground.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Keeps going down, look at that, 7!

0:08:36 > 0:08:37APPLAUSE

0:08:39 > 0:08:42That's a fantastic answer, Phil.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Maybe it'll be the lowest score of the round, we'll see.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Seven points for Shadow, Richard.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Well played. He appeared in the first three series.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- His real name is Jefferson King, which is better than Shadow. - I know! So was Van Wijk!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I know, they've all got good names.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Chrissie?

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Remember, we're looking for Gladiators from the original TV series.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I hope I'm not making this name up, but it popped into my head...

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Oh, I hope you are!

0:09:07 > 0:09:09HE LAUGHS

0:09:09 > 0:09:10It sounds good.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Erm, Saracen.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Saracen!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Sounds brilliant.- Sounds good.- Yes.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20You're hoping it's correct and it's an obscure name

0:09:20 > 0:09:22that none of our 100 people remembered.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Let's see. Saracen, is it right, how many people said it?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29It is right.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Very well done, Chrissie.

0:09:34 > 0:09:3514, very well done.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37APPLAUSE

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Where did that come from? - Saracen, Richard?

0:09:42 > 0:09:46That's the thing about Pointless, it's those little things that lodge in your head.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49He was on all eight series, Saracen, king of Hang Tough.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Continuing the theme of them all having awesome names, do you know what Saracen's name is?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Mike Lewis!

0:09:55 > 0:09:56LAUGHTER

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Should've gone with that, Mike Lewis.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Cracking name!

0:10:00 > 0:10:04And Nicole, we come to you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I have a feeling you're... I think you look quite confident about this.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I was, I thought I was,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12and a name has come into my head but I have no idea

0:10:12 > 0:10:14if I've completely made it up,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17so I've got one that I know is a name,

0:10:17 > 0:10:19one that I think I might have made up,

0:10:19 > 0:10:22and I'm not sure which one to go with.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Well, what we're after is the most obscure Gladiator.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29And quite often names that just appear in the back of your head

0:10:29 > 0:10:32are the best answers you can give.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36LAUGHTER

0:10:36 > 0:10:40OK, I think, then, I'll go with...

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Lightning. - OK, Lighting, you're saying.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Is it right, and, if it is, how many people said Lightning?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51It is right.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Very well done, Nicole.

0:10:54 > 0:10:5629.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58APPLAUSE

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Not bad at all.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Lightning, Richard?- Well done, Nicole. Again, she appeared in all eight series.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09And if Saracen was the king of Hang Tough, she was the queen,

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- though they weren't married.- Wow.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can't figure how that works.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15OK, well, we are halfway through the round

0:11:15 > 0:11:19so let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Phil and Carol,

0:11:19 > 0:11:21the best score so far with 7,

0:11:21 > 0:11:25then up to 14 for Chrissie and Suzy, very well done.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Up to 29 for Nicole and Andre.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Jim and Viv, 69.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33So, Viv, you're going to have to find a really obscure...

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Find/make up a really obscure Gladiator,

0:11:37 > 0:11:39so best of luck with that!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Otherwise, we have to say goodbye at the end of the round.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46We're coming back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?

0:11:48 > 0:11:52So, remember, we're looking for Gladiators

0:11:52 > 0:11:54from the original TV series.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Andre...good luck!

0:11:56 > 0:11:58ANDRE CHUCKLES

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Good luck.- I need it!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Did you, any time you were in Barbados, think,

0:12:03 > 0:12:06"I'll tell you what, I'm not going to stay out here in the sun,

0:12:06 > 0:12:09"I'm going to go inside and watch some weird satellite channel

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- "that might be playing repeats of Gladiators?"- Yeah...

0:12:13 > 0:12:14- No!- No, I thought not.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19After hearing some of the answers, I assume all of them have one name.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Yep.- Er, guessing probably an animal...

0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'd go with Bear.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29- For some reason!- Bear?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, he's either going to be massive...

0:12:33 > 0:12:35..or massive, actually.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41The high scorers at the moment, on 69, are Jim and Viv,

0:12:41 > 0:12:44which means if you can score 39 or less,

0:12:44 > 0:12:47you are through to the next round.

0:12:47 > 0:12:52Let us see if Bear is right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Bad luck, Andre. Bad luck.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'm afraid Bear is a wrong answer,

0:13:00 > 0:13:03which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

0:13:03 > 0:13:04taking your total up to 129.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Richard?- Sorry, Andre. There's no shame in that, though.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Not in the country when it's on, guessing an animal, good guess.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Bear! - Would've been a good Gladiator.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Well, actually, no, they are pretty lithe, bears.- Bears?- Yeah.- Yeah?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Yeah, they're pretty fearsome, pretty quick.- Not koalas.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Don't... You might be giving something away.

0:13:24 > 0:13:29What, giving away there may have been a Gladiator called Koala?

0:13:29 > 0:13:30LAUGHTER

0:13:30 > 0:13:33He'd be pretty good at Hang Tough, wouldn't he?

0:13:33 > 0:13:34LAUGHTER

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Now then, Suzy, I have the best news possible for you.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Whatever happens, whatever your answer is,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45however much it scores, you're through to the next round.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Very, very well done.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49This is down to Chrissie's brilliant answer of Saracen.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I know, I am very relieved.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54For fun, let's have the name of the most obscure

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Gladiator you can think of.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Well, I can only think, like Andre,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02that, think about the names that have gone by,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05and I think maybe something like Hurricane. I don't know.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Hurricane?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11Let's see if Hurricane is right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Bad luck, Suzy.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Hurricane, an incorrect answer, you score the maximum 100 points.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Your total is 114, but doesn't matter,

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- you're through to the next round. - It's another good guess, isn't it?

0:14:25 > 0:14:30If we continue this way, we'll have enough cast names, we'll be able to redo the series.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- That'd be good, wouldn't it?- Yeah. - We've already got Bear and Hurricane.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37If the rest of you could oblige with some Gladiators who didn't exist,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39we're in the money.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42And, actually, funnily enough, Carol, I think,

0:14:42 > 0:14:45from your expression, that might be something you have to do?

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Well, no, I was just worried that Phil was being too cocky.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Yeah, we used to watch Gladiators...- Oh, so you do know?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yeah, I do, so it's quite good for me.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think not many people...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh, this is going to sound rude to him,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02but maybe not many people liked this one.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Erm, Trojan.- Trojan.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Doesn't matter what you score,

0:15:07 > 0:15:11the highest scorers on 129 at the moment are Andre and Nicole.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Even if you score 100, you won't overtake them.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18You're saying Trojan. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21It's right.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Oh, very well done!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29APPLAUSE

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Only the best score so far!

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- That's 5, takes your total up to 12. Richard.- Yeah, very good answer.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Mark Griffin was Trojan, a former championship squash player.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Turned Gladiator. - There you go.- How about that?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- And so, Viv, we come to you.- Yes.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'll just tell you, the high scorers at the moment on 129

0:15:50 > 0:15:52are Andre and Nicole.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55You're on 69, which means if you can score 59 or less...

0:15:57 > 0:16:02The only one I can think of is Jet.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05If Jet gets you under 59, Viv,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08that is a brilliant, brilliant answer and it's done everything it needed to.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12There's your red line. Below that, through to the next round.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Let's see if Jet's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Look at that.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22You've done it!

0:16:22 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Very, very well done indeed.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29That takes your total up to 105. Richard?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Jet, very, very well played.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35She's in the first four series. Diane Youdale played Jet, or was Jet.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Really unlucky, Nicole and Andre.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40There were a load of animals you could've had.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45You could've had Hawk, Rhino, Cobra, Panther, Fox, Falcon,

0:16:45 > 0:16:47all of those, but no Bear, I'm afraid.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Unbelievably, there are no pointless answers at all,

0:16:51 > 0:16:56at least one person knew everybody, however obscure, from all of those series.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Let's take a look at the lowest answers.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Rebel would've scored you one.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Diesel also would've scored one, as would Vulcan,

0:17:03 > 0:17:06so very, very well done if you said any of those three,

0:17:06 > 0:17:07or if you were any of those three.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Let's take a look at the most obvious answers,

0:17:10 > 0:17:13the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16We've already seen all three of them. Nicole gave us Lightning,

0:17:16 > 0:17:1829, the third most popular answer.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Viv, you gave us Jet, which scored 36,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23and Jim gave us Wolf, 69.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round One,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29the losing pair with the highest score, Nicole and Andre.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34You've done very well. Andre, you were ill-served by our category.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37I mean, how dare we, giving you something as obscure as that?

0:17:37 > 0:17:40You wouldn't have a hope of knowing. But you tried nobly.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42We'll see you again next time, we'll look forward to it,

0:17:42 > 0:17:45but thanks for playing, great contestants.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46APPLAUSE

0:17:47 > 0:17:50For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,

0:18:00 > 0:18:02so one team will leave us at the end of this round.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, our Round Two question concerns...

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Scales of measurement, Richard?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26We're going to show you six units or scales on each pass.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30We asked 100 people, what are these units or scales used to measure?

0:18:30 > 0:18:34For example, the pH scale would be to measure acidity or alkalinity,

0:18:34 > 0:18:37so the more obscure answer, the fewer points you score.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Six on each pass, so there's 12 in all to guess at home.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44Thanks very much, Richard,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48so we're looking for scales of measurement. And we have got...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'll read those one more time.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And, as ever, you're trying to find the one

0:19:05 > 0:19:08that the fewest of our 100 people could answer.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Now then, Viv.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15How does that look to you?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Not bad at all.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'll go with the Beaufort Scale,

0:19:22 > 0:19:24which I believe is wind measurement.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Beaufort scale, wind measurement, you're saying.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Let's see if that's right, and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Well done.

0:19:37 > 0:19:3944.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41APPLAUSE

0:19:41 > 0:19:4344.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48And I would say that sigh you just emitted was about force five on that scale.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Richard?- Yeah, well done, Viv. Devised in 1805 by Francis Beaufort.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Very good indeed. Now, Phil.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Phil, how's that board looking to you?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'm just trying to remember my old science textbooks.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04There's the obvious ones, and then

0:20:04 > 0:20:09there's the one which is very heavily in those science textbooks,

0:20:09 > 0:20:12so I'm going to have to go with that one

0:20:12 > 0:20:15and it's joule, which measures energy.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Joule, which measures energy, says Phil. Let's see if that's right,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and if it is, how may people knew that. Joule, energy.

0:20:24 > 0:20:25He's right.

0:20:28 > 0:20:3028.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31APPLAUSE

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Pretty good.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- 28 for joule, quite low. - Yeah, absolutely right,

0:20:38 > 0:20:42work or energy is what it measures, perhaps a slightly abstract concept.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Invented by James Prescott Joule, the English physicist. You know that.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48LAUGHTER

0:20:48 > 0:20:52And so, Chrissie, you are the last person to have this board

0:20:52 > 0:20:54so you can talk us through it

0:20:54 > 0:20:55if you like.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59If I like. If I could, I would.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02I don't know whether to go for yard or Celsius.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm hoping you asked young people

0:21:05 > 0:21:07so perhaps I'll go for yard

0:21:07 > 0:21:09and say distance.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12OK, you're going to say yard, distance.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well, let's see. Have a hunch that might be right.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Let see how many of our 100 people knew yard, distance.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- 80!- Oh.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27Well...

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Sorry.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32As I always say, it's a lot better than 100.

0:21:32 > 0:21:3480 for yard, distance.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- It's not that much better than 100, is it?- It's 20...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Sort of like an imperial version of a metric 100 - 80.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44But yeah, it's a measure of distance or length. Lucky you didn't go for Celsius,

0:21:44 > 0:21:47at least you choose the right one of those two.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50That was temperature, would have scored 92, the biggest score there.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Troy ounce, easier than it looks,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55simply a measure of weight, would have scored you 31,

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- and Mohs, do you know what's measured on the Mohs scale?- No.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Hardness. Would have scored you seven points.- Mohs.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05So it's the best answer on the board. Well done if you said that at home.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08OK, we're halfway through the round.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 28 for Phil and Carol.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Then we go up to 44, Viv and Jim,

0:22:14 > 0:22:17then up to 80 for Chrissie and Suzy.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Suzy, you'll have to find a really obscure answer in the next pass.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Otherwise we may have to say goodbye to you at the end of this round

0:22:24 > 0:22:25so good luck with that.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27We'll come back down the line.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:22:31 > 0:22:35We're looking for things that are measured in these scientific units.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39We'll put six more clues on the board, and we have got...

0:22:46 > 0:22:47I'll read those one more time.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Obviously, you're trying to find the one that the fewest

0:22:57 > 0:23:01of our 100 people knew, Suzy. Now you are the high scorers on 80.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03So I'm not sure going for an easy one is an option

0:23:03 > 0:23:06if you want to stay in the game.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Well, I have to go for something I know

0:23:09 > 0:23:11rather than something I don't know.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12- Indeed.- So...

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I think I might go for knot

0:23:15 > 0:23:18which is nautical distance, nautical miles.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22OK, you're saying nautical distance,

0:23:22 > 0:23:24nautical miles.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Knot. Let's see if that's right,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Unfortunately, that is an incorrect answer

0:23:37 > 0:23:40which I'm afraid means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44I'm afraid that also puts you out of reach of everybody else.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Even if they score 100, they won't overtake your score.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Richard.- Unlucky, Suzy. I won't give the correct answer

0:23:50 > 0:23:52in case Carol or Jim want a go at the same question.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Carol.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58You're through to the head-to-head. Doesn't matter what you say.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02In that case, I'll make a complete guess. I'll go for Curie

0:24:02 > 0:24:06and it's something to do with... measuring radiation?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09A measure of radiation, says Carol. Let's see if it's right,

0:24:09 > 0:24:13and if it is, how many people knew that. Curie, radiation.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18It's right! Very well done.

0:24:21 > 0:24:2318! That's a great score. Very well done.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25APPLAUSE

0:24:25 > 0:24:28That takes your total up to 46.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Richard.- Yeah, well played, Carol.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34What a team. They're aced everything so far. Named after Marie Curie.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Very good. Now, Jim and Viv, you are also through to the head-to-head.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Even if you score 100 points

0:24:39 > 0:24:42you won't overtake Suzy and Chrissie's high score of 180.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45You're the last person to have this board, Jim,

0:24:45 > 0:24:47so you can talk us through them if you like.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Erm, decibel is obviously noise.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Ampere I believe to be electrical current.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Knot I believe is speed on water,

0:24:58 > 0:25:02and acre to be area.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Mercalli,

0:25:03 > 0:25:06can't quite put on the tip of my tongue.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10So I'd go with...decibel for noise.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Decibel, noise. That's what you're saying.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Let's see if it's right and if so, how many said it.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Well done... Ooh!

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Wow.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23APPLAUSE

0:25:23 > 0:25:2588, that scores you.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Takes your total to 132 but you're still through to the next round.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Richard.- Yeah, well played, Jim.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Decibel derives in part from Alexander Graham Bell.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37You actually took us through the rest of the board with some skill.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41Acre, absolutely right, is area, would have scored you 86.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Knot is not a measure of distance, I'm afraid,

0:25:45 > 0:25:48it's a measure of speed. Would have been a fairly big score, 74.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Ampere - right, measures electrical current, would've scored 38

0:25:51 > 0:25:55and the tough one on the board, Mercalli would have scored 2 points.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well done if you said earthquake intensity.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Mercalli is a measure of earthquake intensity.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Best answer on the board by a mile.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Thanks, Richard.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,

0:26:07 > 0:26:09it's Chrissie and Suzy. Bad, bad luck.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13However, what have you learned from your first experience on Pointless?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16That I'm good at getting 100 points.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19That's no mean feat, Suzy, I can tell you now.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Any tactics you're going to come back with next time?

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Um, try a little harder?

0:26:26 > 0:26:27OK, sounds good to me.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30We will look forward to seeing you again next time

0:26:30 > 0:26:33but meanwhile thanks for playing, Suzy and Chrissie.

0:26:33 > 0:26:34APPLAUSE

0:26:36 > 0:26:38But for the remaining two pairs,

0:26:38 > 0:26:42things now get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Very well done, Phil and Carol, Viv and Jim,

0:26:50 > 0:26:52you've made it to the head-to-head.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Now only one pair can get to today's final and play for the jackpot

0:26:56 > 0:26:58which currently stands at £2,000.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Now, for each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer

0:27:06 > 0:27:08but you are now allowed to confer.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12If you give an answer that scores less than the other pair, you will win that question.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17Let's play Pointless.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, here is your first question.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Richard.- Yes, looking for any of the four things mentioned

0:27:38 > 0:27:40in the first line of Cliff Richard's hit Living Doll.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43We won't accept living as an answer.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45LAUGHTER

0:27:45 > 0:27:46OK, Phil and Carol,

0:27:46 > 0:27:50as you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53We're looking for things Cliff Richard's Living Doll can do.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55THEY WHISPER

0:28:00 > 0:28:02We can only think of...

0:28:02 > 0:28:04two.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06We're going to go for...

0:28:08 > 0:28:10...walking.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Walking.- OK, walking,

0:28:12 > 0:28:15you are saying. Viv and Jim.

0:28:16 > 0:28:21I think it was crying, walking, sleeping, talking,

0:28:21 > 0:28:23so I'll go with sleeping, yeah?

0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Sleeping.- Sleeping,

0:28:25 > 0:28:27so we have walking and we have sleeping.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Phil and Carol went for walking.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said walking.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42I didn't have time to say it's right

0:28:42 > 0:28:43but by the way, it is.

0:28:45 > 0:28:4896. That is quite a high score.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Viv and Jim have gone for sleeping.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said that.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Yep, it's right.

0:29:00 > 0:29:0255!

0:29:02 > 0:29:03Well done.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04APPLAUSE

0:29:04 > 0:29:08Well, 55. Lower than 96, so Viv and Jim win that point.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11After one question, Viv and Jim are up 1-0. Richard.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yeah, very well played.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Cliff's first number one single, lyrics written by Lionel Bart.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Let's look at all four of them. You've just been through them.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Sleeping is the best answer you could have given, 55.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Crying, 64. Walking wasn't actually the worst answer, 96,

0:29:26 > 0:29:27because talking was 99.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30So those are things Cliff Richard was looking for.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33That to him was a perfect woman. She could do those four things.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36If you put that in a lonely hearts ad now,

0:29:36 > 0:29:40"Would like to meet sleeping, crying, walking, talking, woman..."

0:29:40 > 0:29:45CLIFF RICHARD: # Got myself a crying talking sleeping walking

0:29:45 > 0:29:47# Living doll... #

0:29:47 > 0:29:49There we go.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51That's what it sounded like.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53Funny he never married.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55LAUGHTER

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Right, now, here is your second question.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Phil and Carol, you have to win this to stay in the game.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:30:05 > 0:30:10as many countries that border Turkey as they could. Richard.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14We're looking for any of the eight countries sharing a land border with Turkey.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17As ever, by country we mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20See how many of the eight you can get at home.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24Thank you very much. Now then, Viv and Jim, you go first this time.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27- (WHISPERS)- There's Russia...

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Cyprus...

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Oh, go on, then.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Go on, then.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38Go on, then. Always the... Yes.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40What are you going to say, Jim?

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Cyprus.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Cyprus, says Jim.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46Phil and Carol?

0:30:46 > 0:30:50Which one do you want to go for? Shall we go for...

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Greece, you said Greece.

0:30:52 > 0:30:53What about Italy?

0:30:53 > 0:30:54No.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- OK, we'll go with Greece. - You're saying Greece.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Phil and Carol are going to say Greece.

0:30:59 > 0:31:03So we have Cyprus, we have Greece. Viv and Jim said Cyprus.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04Let's see if that's right,

0:31:04 > 0:31:07and if it is, let's see how may people said Cyprus.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11No-noo! So not Cyprus.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14This is a lifeline for you, Phil and Carol.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18At this point, all you have to be...

0:31:18 > 0:31:20All you have to be is correct.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21We're not.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23LAUGHTER

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Greece. Let's see if it's right and if so, how many people said it.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Well done! It's right.- Oh!

0:31:31 > 0:31:33You've won the question.

0:31:33 > 0:31:34- 50.- Yay!

0:31:34 > 0:31:37APPLAUSE

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Well done. That's what you had to do

0:31:42 > 0:31:44so after the second question, you are 1-1.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Let's look at all the answers. There is one pointless one,

0:31:47 > 0:31:49but a really tough one. Azerbaijan.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52A little bit of Azerbaijan is in Armenia, funnily enough.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Just 9km of border. So very well done if you said that.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57There's Armenia with 3, Georgia with 8,

0:31:57 > 0:32:00Bulgaria would have been another very good answer, 17.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Syria, 24. Iran, 24.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Iraq, 25

0:32:04 > 0:32:06and Greece, up the top there on 50.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Thank you very much, Richard. So here is your third question.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:32:13 > 0:32:15to play for that jackpot of £2,000.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:32:18 > 0:32:23as many actors who appeared in both Bridget Jones films as they could.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Actors who appeared in both Bridget Jones films. Richard.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30We want for any actor or actress who's in both Bridget Jones films.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33That's Bridget Jones' Diary, and Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.

0:32:33 > 0:32:38So any actor or actress who have been credited in both of those films.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41OK. Thank you very much. Now, Phil and Carol,

0:32:41 > 0:32:42you go first again this time.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46THEY WHISPER

0:32:48 > 0:32:52- We're...- We're going to go for

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Sally Phillips.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Sally Phillips, OK.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Viv and Jim.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Renee Zellweger, obviously, but...

0:33:01 > 0:33:03There's only a few that we know, so...

0:33:03 > 0:33:06yeah, it would have to be Hugh Grant, I think.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07- Hugh Grant?- Hmm.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09OK, Sally Phillips, Hugh Grant.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Whoever wins this goes through to the final.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Sally Phillips. Is that right?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17And if it is, how many people said Sally Phillips?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well done!

0:33:29 > 0:33:32APPLAUSE

0:33:32 > 0:33:36That's a brilliant answer. Sally Phillips scores you just two points.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Only two people knew that.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Viv and Jim,

0:33:40 > 0:33:42you have gone for Hugh Grant.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Hugh Grant.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Well done! It's right.

0:33:52 > 0:33:53APPLAUSE

0:33:55 > 0:34:02That means after three questions, Phil and Carol are through to the final, 2-1. Richard.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06Very good answers. Very few things would have beaten that. There are a few pointless ones.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Neil Pearson who played her TV boss.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11James Faulkner, a friend of her parents.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14James Callis as her friend Tom.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Donald Douglas plays Colin Firth's father in both films.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21Dominic McHale plays Bernard. Celia Imrie, another friend of the parents.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Shirley Henderson, her friend Jude, would have scored 1 point.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Sally Phillips, her friend Shazza. Very good, 2 points.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Gemma Jones plays Bridget's mum, 5 points.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Jim Broadbent is her dad, that's 10 points.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy, 50 points.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36Renee Zellweger played Bridget Jones herself, 59.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40and is beaten by Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver on 67 points.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Well done if you got any pointless answers.- Thanks, Richard.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Viv and Jim.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Have you been to see Bridget Jones? Have you been to see it?!

0:34:51 > 0:34:55It's been out for years. What am I talking about?! Have you seen it?

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- I have seen it on TV, yes.- Right.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00I actually said Zellweger

0:35:00 > 0:35:03so my answer was better than Viv's anyway.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07Still wasn't going to beat Sally Phillips though, was it, Jim?

0:35:07 > 0:35:12Anyway, the good news for us is, we get to see you again next time and we will look forward to that.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Thank you very much for playing. Viv and Jim, great contestants.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE

0:35:19 > 0:35:22But for Phil and Carol, it's now time for our Pointless final

0:35:22 > 0:35:25and the chance to win our jackpot of £2,000.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28APPLAUSE

0:35:32 > 0:35:35Congratulations, Phil and Carol. You fought off all the competition

0:35:35 > 0:35:39and you have one our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41APPLAUSE

0:35:41 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:35:46 > 0:35:49and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:52 > 0:35:57The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,

0:35:57 > 0:36:00an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.

0:36:00 > 0:36:05We haven't had any pointless answers today. Find one now and you will go home with that money.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09First you've got to choose a category from these three options. They are...

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, I think we've ascertained our geography is not...

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- It's not up to scratch. - ..so let's not do Canada.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Not Canada. - Do you want to go Sportsmen?

0:36:24 > 0:36:29I would because singer-songwriters, all I've got is Burt Bacharach so...

0:36:29 > 0:36:30LAUGHTER

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- That's all I know. If you're happy? - Sportsmen. Yes.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37- You're going to go with Sportsmen? - Yes.- Let's find out what the question is.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:36:40 > 0:36:45England World Cup goal scorers as they could. Richard.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49We're looking for any male England player who's ever scored a goal in a World Cup final.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53So no-one who's scored in a qualifier or in a penalty shootout

0:36:53 > 0:36:56but any male England player who's scored in a World Cup final,

0:36:56 > 0:36:59all the way through from 1950 to 2010.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03OK. Thank you very much. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:03 > 0:37:08All you need to win the £2,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:10 > 0:37:141966, you've got Martin Peters,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16he scored the other one but people will know that.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21Then 1990, I think Terry Butcher might have scored.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24But then if you're going to the more modern ones, you've got...

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Gazza? Was that not in the World Cup?

0:37:28 > 0:37:31He might have scored in '90, but people would know that.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34The obscure ones... I can only really do the modern ones.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38- So you've got Heskey. - Yeah? In the World Cup?

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Scholes. Yeah, he scored against Denmark. Scholes scored.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43They're just common ones, aren't they?

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Then 2010, who scored our goals? Erm...

0:37:47 > 0:37:51Defoe scored but then that's just been, hasn't it?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54We've got Defoe, Heskey, Scholes...

0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Erm, I'm trying to think... - What about the old ones?

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Like Peters and Butcher?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02This Butcher guy sounds obscure.

0:38:02 > 0:38:08Yeah, OK. So shall we go with Butcher, Heskey and Scholes.

0:38:08 > 0:38:09- Yeah.- Are you sure?

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Yeah, I can't think of anything else.

0:38:12 > 0:38:17OK. That is your minute up. We were looking for England World Cup goal scorers.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19I now need your three answers.

0:38:19 > 0:38:24- OK. We're going to go with Terry Butcher.- Terry Butcher.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Paul Scholes.- Paul Scholes.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29And Emile Heskey.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33And Emile Heskey. OK.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35Of those three, which is your most confident answer,

0:38:35 > 0:38:38your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Scholes?- Yeah, Paul Scholes. - OK, Paul Scholes, put him last.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Which is your least confident? - I'd say Terry Butcher.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47OK, Terry Butcher, we'll put him first.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Let's put them up on the board in that order. Here they are.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02Now, this was your least confident answer.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05We were looking for England World Cup goal scorers.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win the £2,000 jackpot.

0:39:09 > 0:39:15Let's see how many people said Terry Butcher and if it's right.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Very best of luck. Terry Butcher.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27Bad luck, Phil. Bad luck.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Never mind. - That's an incorrect answer and therefore not a pointless answer.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37What would you do with £2,000?

0:39:37 > 0:39:41I'd actually buy a Hereford United Football Club season ticket,

0:39:41 > 0:39:43prolong my disappointment.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47And if you have any change, might I suggest maybe an atlas?

0:39:47 > 0:39:49LAUGHTER

0:39:51 > 0:39:52Anyway...

0:39:52 > 0:39:55we are looking for England goal scorers in World Cup football.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Emile Heskey. There he is.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03This you know to be right?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06I think he scored against Denmark, but I'm not sure.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09OK. Let's hope so. Very best of luck. This has to be right

0:40:09 > 0:40:13and it has to be pointless and you will win that jackpot.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17Emile Heskey. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:40:19 > 0:40:22It is right. It is right.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Your first answer, Terry Butcher, wasn't right.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27This is your first correct answer. Down it goes into the 20s,

0:40:27 > 0:40:31into the teens. If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here...

0:40:34 > 0:40:36It was a good one. Well done.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38It's exciting.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41That's a bit more like it.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44But unfortunately three people remembered Emile Heskey.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47So I'm afraid that is not a pointless answer either.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51This means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54You said this was your most confident answer.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Yeah, yeah.

0:40:56 > 0:41:02I'm, again, pretty sure he scored against Tunisia in '98 but...

0:41:02 > 0:41:07- whether he did or not, again I'm questioning myself.- OK.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11We are looking for England goal scorers in World Cup football.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15Your last answer, Paul Scholes. Let's see if it's right

0:41:15 > 0:41:18and if it is, let's see how many people said Paul Scholes.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well done. That's right.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26This is your third and final shot at today's jackpot of £2,000.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Emile Heskey went down to 3.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Let's see if Paul Scholes can go down even lower.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Can he be pointless?

0:41:32 > 0:41:33Oh no!

0:41:33 > 0:41:37APPLAUSE

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Two very good answers there.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48Unfortunately, you didn't find the all-important pointless answer.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51I'm afraid you don't go home with today's jackpot of £2,000

0:41:51 > 0:41:55which will roll over onto the next show, but you have been fantastic contestants

0:41:55 > 0:41:57and you do get to take home our fabulous Pointless trophy.

0:41:57 > 0:42:02APPLAUSE

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Unlucky, guys. Very well played, Phil especially

0:42:06 > 0:42:09You were exactly right on your facts as well.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Heskey, that was 2002 against Denmark.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Scholes was 1998 against Tunisia.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17There is a pointless answer up there actually from 1998 as well.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21Do you remember who scored against Colombia?

0:42:21 > 0:42:23There was obviously the Beckham free kick,

0:42:23 > 0:42:26but is the other one Darren Anderton?

0:42:26 > 0:42:30Correct. If you'd said Darren Anderton, you would have just won £2,000.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34Let's take a look at all the names up there. That's really tough luck.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Allan Clarke who scored in 1970. There's Darren Anderton from '98.

0:42:37 > 0:42:42Gerry Hitchens scored against Brazil in 1962 in the quarter-final.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Jimmy Mullen... Mark Wright also pointless answer.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49The great Nat Lofthouse was a pointless answer,

0:42:49 > 0:42:51scored a couple of goals.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Paul Mariner, Terry Butcher's international team-mate.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Terry Butcher scored three times for England but never in a World Cup final.
