0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:30 > 0:00:33and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, welcome back Paul and Eddie, you were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Remind us what happened.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Well, on the first round we were OK.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Myself and Eddie both got a pointless answer each.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- On the second he gnaws it right up.- Yeah, I got it wrong.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59But double Pointless though, in the first round, oh,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01it was all glory for Paul and Eddie.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02- It was.- Yeah.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- I let the side down terribly. - Well, never mind.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Paul, what are you hoping to come up this afternoon?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- What, on the questions? - Well, mainly on the questions, yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Modern history would be nice...modern history,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Formula 1, maybe sports.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19And Eddie, what about you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm into old history, if there's such a category,
0:01:22 > 0:01:23more than modern history.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I think there is.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yeah, from, um, Romans up to, say, medieval times.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I love all that sort of stuff.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Best of luck, Paul and Eddie, it's great to have you here,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35let's hope we see more of you this time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And next we welcome Lynne and Dudley,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39now, how do you two know each other?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We met through the internet, Alexander.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45You met through the internet, what, to do what,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47to go out with each other?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Yes.- Oh, I see, good. Where have you come from, Lynne?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55We've come from Lancashire, we both live in Lancashire now.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, you're new to Lancashire?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I've been there about 20 years, but I'm originally from Yorkshire.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Dudley, when did you move to Lancashire?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I moved to Lancaster in 1988.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And from your accent, of course, I can hear you're Canadian?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I was born and bred in Glasgow.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14In Glasgow. Dudley, what do you do?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I work in the pro shop at a golf and country club,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21just outside Ormskirk.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Very good. Are you quite a golfer yourself?- Yes, I play.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Ha ha!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Ha ha! Ahhh.- Sorry.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Beautiful Scots understatement, there.- Absolutely.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35What sort of handicap do you play off?
0:02:35 > 0:02:3718.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41That's a question you ask cos it sounds like I know what I'm talking about.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I have no idea. What do you do, Lynne?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I work as a nurse clinician in a general practice in Skelmersdale.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Lynne, what would you like to see, this afternoon?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, my strong subjects are probably science
0:02:54 > 0:02:56because of my job and everything.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00So, anything sort of, medical or biological sciences...
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- OK.- ..I'd be very, very happy with. - And how about you, Dudley?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Geography, Scottish history.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Great to have you on the show, Lynne and Dudley, welcome.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Next, we welcome back Benali and Freyja,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14you were on the show last time as well.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Remind us what happened.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19We didn't do too brilliantly, we went out in the first round.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21But, I think we were very unlucky,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25there was an inordinate amount of pointless answers.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Tell you what, that was an historic first round, wasn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31We had five pointless answers in one round.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And the category was trousers.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Yes.- No, it was a fun round, that, wasn't it?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38It is good, it was inventive.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Now, Benali, what would you like to see come up?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well, a bit of geography,
0:03:44 > 0:03:49well you're not a fan, but politics, foreign languages, food.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I think those kind of subjects would be great.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54If you could do questions I've seen on previous shows,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56that would be great as well.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00OK! Freyja, anything for you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I think, we've got some crossover as, we're both...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05..for me especially, British politics.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Yes.- Food would be great, geography, I'm definitely not so keen on.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Yes, what are you talking about, Ben, geography?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- I'd really like literature.- Yes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Especially slightly older literature, that would be brilliant.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's great to have you back on the show, best of luck this afternoon.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And finally, we welcome Wendy and Alyson.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25How do you to know each other?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Well, as sisters we've known each other forever,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33but my first, real memory of Alyson is when we used to live in America
0:04:33 > 0:04:37and she got a brand-new bicycle and I still had a tricycle
0:04:37 > 0:04:38and I couldn't keep up.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Dear, oh, dear.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Tricycle, I had the tricycle forever.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I had an older brother and older sister and was impossible.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51You grew up in America but where do you live now?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53We were only in America for a couple of years
0:04:53 > 0:04:55then lived in Switzerland then Germany,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57then we moved to England,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00then we said goodbye to the parents because they moved to Belgium and then Holland.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You followed them until they went to Belgium?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Then we moved abroad, we've spent most of our adult lives abroad,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I was in Germany and Alyson was in Holland.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, you are career expatriates?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Well, you could put it that way.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Alyson, what do you do? - I'm an exam invigilator.- Are you?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So, we hand out the papers and collect them in the end,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25trying to make sure nobody looks over the shoulder of anybody else.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28When we were at school people would do that,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30then when the exam begun they would get out a book,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33or mark other exams. You're not allowed to do that, are you?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- We're not allowed to do that any more.- You can't do anything?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No. We've seen a couple of sketches.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I don't know what you're talking about.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43With some characters called Armstrong and Miller,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46and we don't do what they do in their sketches.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48More's the pity! I bet you wish you could.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Yes, it would be quite fun, but I couldn't do a handstand, anyway.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So, what would you like to see come up, Alyson?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Maybe some maths or some geography because we've lived in all these
0:05:58 > 0:06:01different countries in Europe, so European geography would make sense.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03European geography would be good, yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Very good, indeed. Well, fingers crossed those were all, this afternoon.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Best of luck to you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes on,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12there's only one person left for me to introduce, he once beat
0:06:12 > 0:06:14the Delphic Oracle in a pub quiz
0:06:14 > 0:06:17then she thrashed him at Connect Four.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- He is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23APPLAUSE
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Afternoon.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Good afternoon to you. - Are you well?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yes, I'd say I was, yes, how are you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Terrific news, I'm very well, as well.- That is good news.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37We've got to returning pairs, neither did amazingly last time,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41but I think they're pretty good, Paul and Eddie, and Ben and Freyja.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44But, I think the first question is going to be good news for Lynne
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and Dudley, good news for Wendy and Alyson, I think it's good
0:06:47 > 0:06:50news for Ben, and I think it's bad news for Freyja.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Question one.- Will it Freyja?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56AUDIENCE GROAN
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Wow, you are well today. - Well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09To stay in the game with a chance to win jackpot,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13the players need to score as few points as they possibly can.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Now, what everyone is trying to do, of course,
0:07:16 > 0:07:21is trying to find a pointless answer, Quinn and Matt won
0:07:21 > 0:07:25the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28APPLAUSE
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38In the first round you must give me one answer,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44The team with the highest score will be eliminated,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47so make sure that's not you. If anyone gives me an incorrect answer
0:07:47 > 0:07:51they will score the maximum of 100 points, so try to avoid those.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00America. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and who's going to go second.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13We give 100 people 100 seconds
0:08:13 > 0:08:17to name as many US states ending in 'A' as they could.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19US states ending in 'A', Richard?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Yes, nothing to add here, just any states of the USA whose name
0:08:22 > 0:08:25ends in an 'A', see how many of them you can get at home, as well.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29OK, now, then, Paul and Eddie, you all drew lots before the show
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and you get to go first.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So, we're looking for US states ending in 'A'.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Well, I can think of a couple. The one that comes to mind,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43which I think a lot of people forget about, is Alaska.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- Alaska, you think it's an overlooked state?- Yes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- It's too far north. - Very good, I'll tell them that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Let's hope you are right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Is Alaska right, and if it is, how many people said Alaska?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:09:04 > 0:09:0840 for Alaska.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Yes, the most northerly, most westerly and most easterly parts of the USA are all in Alaska.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It's got more coastline than the rest of the United States combined, as well.
0:09:17 > 0:09:24Very well done. Now, Dudley, US states ending in 'A'.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Well, I too, can think of a number, which ones would be low on
0:09:29 > 0:09:36the scoreboard, I think I will go with South Carolina.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38South Carolina, very good.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Sounds good to me, let's hope that's right,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and if it is, how many people said South Carolina.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Down it goes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Oh, very well done, Dudley. - APPLAUSE
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Almost into single figures. Down to 10 for South Carolina. Richard.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Yeah, well played, Dudley. Very safe start. It's got an A at the end.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05It would be called South Carolin if it didn't. That's how you can tell. LAUGHTER
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Very good. Um, Freyja.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Yeah.- Freyja.- Um...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Is this tough?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, yeah, it's a bit embarrassing
0:10:19 > 0:10:22because I'm actually studying American Studies.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25At the same time, my geography is appalling, so I won't risk too much
0:10:25 > 0:10:30as I think Benali will be quite good at this. I'm going to go with North Carolina!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We had South Carolina. Here's North Carolina.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I see what you've done there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Let's see if it's right and how many people said North Carolina.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Very well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It was 10 the South.
0:10:46 > 0:10:4712 for the North.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50APPLAUSE
0:10:50 > 0:10:53That's a pretty good score. Richard. 12 for North Carolina.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Well played. Two more points than South Carolina. They won't like that in South Carolina.- No.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01That does mean two people went, "North Carolina...
0:11:01 > 0:11:03"Yeah, I can't think of anything else.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05"I've got nothing else." LAUGHTER
0:11:05 > 0:11:09So, remember, we're looking for US states that end in 'A'. Alyson.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm going to go for Pennsylvania.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Pennsylvania, you're saying. Let's see if that's right and,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Wow. Very well done.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29APPLAUSE
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Pennsylvania, 3 points. Richard.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37That's a great answer. It the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, all sorts of things.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It's where they invented the pencil. All sorts of things.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42LAUGHTER
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Yup, that's what happened. LAUGHTER
0:11:45 > 0:11:49We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Alyson and Wendy look strong. Lovely low score of 3 there.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Then up to 10 for Dudley and Lynne.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Up to 12 for Freyja and Benali.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01And then way up to Eddie and Paul's high score of 40.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Who would've thought you'd be so far ahead?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I thought no-one would remember Alaska.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08We're coming down the line. Second players, come to the podium.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Very good. Remember, we are looking for US states ending in 'A'.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Now, Wendy, the high scorers are Paul and Eddie on 40.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22If you can score 36 more or less you're through to the next round.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm going to say West Virginia.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27West Virginia.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Very good indeed. There's your red line.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31If West Virginia comes below that red line,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33you are in the next round.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Let's see if West Virginia's right.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It's right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Very well done.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Down it goes to 5.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- APPLAUSE - A cracking answer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53It takes your total up to a lovely single figure total of 8. Richard.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Well played, Wendy. Very good start to your Pointless careers there.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- I can't hear "West Virginia" without singing Country Roads by John Denver in my head.- That's the one!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I literally saw it at the start of the round on paper
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and I've been trying not to whistle it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08LAUGHTER
0:13:08 > 0:13:09HE HUMS QUIETLY
0:13:09 > 0:13:14LAUGHTER I'm going to silently be singing that for the rest of the round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You all enjoy yourselves.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20OK, then, Benali. The high scorers are still Paul and Eddie on 40.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23You're on 12, which means 27 or less is enough to ensure you
0:13:23 > 0:13:25a place in the next round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28That's the second game in a row someone's took my answer
0:13:28 > 0:13:31before I was going to say it so I'll have to think of another one.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33But there's a few going round my head.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37What I think I'm going to go for is North Dakota.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39North Dakota. There's your red line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Let's see if North Dakota gets you below that red line. Is it right?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45If it is, how many people said North Dakota?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yup. You've done it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:548 for North Dakota.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Splendid score. Takes your total up to a nice round 20.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- North Dakota, Richard. - APPLAUSE
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Well played, Benali. Safely through Round One this time around.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07We are looking for US states that end in an 'A'.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Lynne, you're on 10.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Paul and Eddie are on 40. 29 or less is enough
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- to get you through to the next round.- Right.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I think there's quite a lot of states ending in A.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'm trying to think of a really obscure one.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23A couple of them that I'd thought of have already been and gone,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26so I'm going to go for Iowa.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Iowa.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There's your red line.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32If Iowa gets you below that red line,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35we say goodbye to Paul and Eddie at the end of this road.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36You are through to the next round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Iowa. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yes. You've done it. 16 for Iowa.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:53That takes your total up to 26. Richard.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Very well played, Lynne.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Though when you said Iowa, I thought it ended in an I. It doesn't.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Stop singing John Denver. - That's the problem.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I wasn't really concentrating.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Now then, Paul. The writing is on the wall, I'm afraid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- It certainly is, isn't it? - You haven't given your answer yet.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Already you're the high scorers.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15The one I was thinking of has gone - the last one.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16So, geography's not my good point.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Spelling's not my good point. So I'll go for California.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22How am I doing with that one?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23LAUGHTER
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Ah! It's good. I think it's good.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- I'm afraid there's no red line for you.- Why not?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- I'm afraid...- Go on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Just put one in at the top even. - Just for us. - Your red line's down there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Lower down than our tower reaches, I'm afraid.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Anyway, let's see.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44California - for fun - is it right? How many people said it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Oh! 62.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- APPLAUSE - That's another high-score.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- It takes your total to 102. Richard.- Unlucky, Paul.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59It's the most populous US state, California,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00and a popular answer here too.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02There's no pointless answers
0:16:02 > 0:16:04cos I think a lot of people know their states.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08There's 21 correct answers. Let's take a look at the ones that were the best score.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12There's Nebraska. It was the best score of all - would've scored 2.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Now, Benali said North Dakota. South Dakota would've scored you 3.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18There's Pennsylvania, we had that from Alyson.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Other low scorers - Indiana, Minnesota, Louisiana.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22They were all fairly low scorers.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Now the three highest scorers. Paul and Eddie, look away now.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28There's Alaska, 40 points.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30The third highest scorer. Alabama, 53.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And the tiny little state of California,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36tucked away on the coast, 62 points.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Thanks very much, Richard.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score is Paul and Eddie.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- This is the show's loss.- Consistent. - Well, you are consistent.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Actually, to be consistent you'd have scored a double pointless
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and then gone out in a blaze of glory in Round Two.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- It's tough, that.- Never mind.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's the game, isn't it?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Well, it is, I'm afraid. It's always the luck of the draw.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You've been good fun on both shows. Sorry to say goodbye
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- to you so soon. Anyway, Paul and Eddie, brilliant contestants. Thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11APPLAUSE
0:17:11 > 0:17:13For the remaining pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15APPLAUSE
0:17:19 > 0:17:23There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one of the teams in front of me
0:17:23 > 0:17:25will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Film. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:31 > 0:17:36who's going to go second? Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44OK. Our Round Two question concerns film villains and their films.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Film villains and their films, Richard.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52We'll show you six villains on each pass. We asked 100 to tell us which films they appeared in.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55If you give a nice obscure answer, you score fewer points.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58If you give an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01There'll be 12 in all for you to get at home. Best of luck.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Some of these characters will have appeared in a film series.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- In that case, say the name of the series or any of the films in it. That's fine.- Thank you very much.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13We are looking for the films in which these film villains first appeared.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And here is our first list. We have...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Here we go again...
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Dudley. We come to you.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- You've got me on this one, Alexander.- Oh dear.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- Have we?- I think I will go with Harry Lime and The Third Man.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47THE THIRD MAN. Let's see if that's right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer? The Third Man.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's right.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Very, very well done.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- 10 points. - APPLAUSE
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- A very good answer there.- Well done, Dudley. Very low score there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09From 1949, The Third Man. And Orson Welles, of course, played Harry Lime.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Now then, Benali.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Right, I think I know three answers, but I'm a bit worried
0:19:14 > 0:19:16that they're the more obvious ones.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm not sure which is the least obvious.
0:19:19 > 0:19:26- But I think I'm going to go for Freddy Krueger.- Yeah?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And that's Nightmare on Elm Street.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Nightmare on Elm Street, says Benali, Freddy Krueger.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Is that right? Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yeah, it's right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:4058.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42APPLAUSE
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- 58.- Yeah, pretty big score. Played by Robert Englund, of course.
0:19:48 > 0:19:521984 was the first one. He did eight of them in all.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56That first film was Johnny Depp's first film, Nightmare on Elm Street.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Also, the first one, really, really scary.- Really scary.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- They're all quite scary.- Less scary once you've seen him, though.- I...
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I'm not good with scary films. I still find them scary.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Nightmare on Elm Street 6, I can take or leave. But the rest...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13LAUGHTER
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Alyson. You're the last person to have this board. You can talk us through
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- all these villains, should you wish. - There's not many of them I recognise.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26I can hear my sons screaming at me now, "Mum!"
0:20:26 > 0:20:28But I'm going to go for the Child Catcher
0:20:28 > 0:20:30from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Child Catcher, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. The Child Catcher, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:20:42 > 0:20:4444.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46APPLAUSE
0:20:48 > 0:20:5044 for the Child Catcher.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Often considered one of the scariest villains of all time, the Child Catcher.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Based on an Ian Fleming novel, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Written by Roald Dahl, the film.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05- Do you want to fill in the rest of this board? Dr Evil?- It's either Team America or Austin Powers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Austin Powers, exactly right. Would've scored you 73 points.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Gordon Gekko?- Uh, Wall Street. - Would've scored you 19.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15John Doe is actually the best answer on the board,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17so well done if you got this at home. Any idea?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- No.- Played by Kevin Spacey.- Se7en?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Exactly right.- Terrifying film. - would've scored you 5 points. Very well done if you got that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Let's look at the scores halfway through the round.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Well, Dudley and Lynne, the best score by a margin at this stage.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Lovely score of 10. Then up to 44 for Alyson and Wendy,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38then up to 58 for Benali and Freyja
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So, yes, it's going to be a tussle between Freyja
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and Wendy as to who stays
0:21:42 > 0:21:46and who goes. Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55OK. We're going to put six more villains up on the board
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and here they are. We've got...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'll read all of those again...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17We are looking for the films in which these villains first appeared.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Obviously, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Now, Wendy. The high scorers are Freyja and Benali on 58.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27If you can score 13 or less,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30you are definitely through to the next round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I was very glad I didn't have the last board as I didn't know anything.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I do know a couple on this one,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39but I can't decide which is going to be the least popular.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I think I'm going to go for Lex Luthor and Superman.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Lex Luthor, Superman, you are saying. Here's your red line.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Should you get below that red line,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51you are definitely in the head-to-head. Lex Luthor, Superman.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many knew that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55It's right.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Ooh, it's a popular one, Wendy. - APPLAUSE
0:23:01 > 0:23:0361 for Lex Luthor and Superman.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Takes your total up to 105.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Played by Gene Hackman in the 1978 film.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Do you know who played him in the 2006 Superman Returns?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Kevin Spacey.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- OK, now then, Freyja.- Yes?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20We're looking for the films in which these villains first made
0:23:20 > 0:23:22an appearance. you're on 58.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25The high scorers are Wendy and Alyson on 105.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26If you can score 46 or less,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29through you go to the head-to-head.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yeah, I only know two of them and the one that I think is going
0:23:32 > 0:23:35to score less is Captain Barbossa
0:23:35 > 0:23:37who's from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Captain Barbossa, Pirates of the Caribbean, you are saying.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Here is your red line. Quite high up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Captain Barbossa, Pirates of the Caribbean - very best of luck.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Is it right? How many people said it?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You've done it! You've done it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Very, very well done. 40. - APPLAUSE
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Brings your total up to 98.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01You are in the head-to-head. Richard.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04"Captain Bar-bow-sah" - it's Barbossa, isn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Never seen it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Captain Barbossa, played by Geoffrey Rush, of course,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Now then, Lynne. The high scorers are Wendy and Alyson on 105.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You are on 10, which means
0:24:17 > 0:24:20if you can score 94 or less,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22you are through to the next round.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Do I play it safe? Em...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29No, I'm going to go with Ming the Merciless, Flash Gordon.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Ming the Merciless, Flash Gordon. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39There's your red line. If Ming the Merciless gets you below it, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Best of luck.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Yes, you've done it. Very well done, Lynne.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Wow. 14.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Only 14 for Ming the Merciless.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Takes your total up to 24. The lowest score of the round. Richard.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well played, Lynne. Safely into the next round.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- Were you thinking of saying Darth Vader? Was that your safe option?- Yes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07If you had, you would have just tied with Wendy and Alyson.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- I thought a lot of people would get at.- Darth Vader, Star Wars, would've scored 95 points.
0:25:12 > 0:25:1695 points. Xander, what you think about the other two?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Cyrus 'The Virus' I remember. It's Con Air, isn't it?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22It is Con Air. It would have scored you 7 points.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- And Alex Forrest I think is a very tricky answer.- I can't remember.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Very, very famous villain -
0:25:28 > 0:25:31villainess in fact. Would have scored you 2 points.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Very well done if you said Fatal Attraction.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Alex Forrest is the Glenn Close character in the film. 2 points.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Best answer on the board.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Thanks very much. So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm afraid is Wendy and Alyson.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Dear, oh dear.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Yes, they were tough boards, those. - They were.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51The Child Catcher, of course,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53just such an enduring villain.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56No-one really forgets the Child Catcher. A high score.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Now, when you come back next time, which, of course, you shall,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04what will be the tactics you bring to bear?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- You've learned from this experience? - It's just a matter of luck
0:26:07 > 0:26:09whether I know the answer or not. Just go for it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I guess that's right. Lovely having you on the show.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Look forward to next time when I hope you go even further.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Thanks, Wendy and Alyson. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:26:19 > 0:26:22For the remaining pairs, things will get more exciting now
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- as we enter the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well done, Lynne and Dudley, Benali and Freyja.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot
0:26:38 > 0:26:41which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42APPLAUSE
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Now, for each question, each pair needs to give me
0:26:47 > 0:26:50just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55All you have to do is give an answer which scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:08OK, here is your first question.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16gases with a single letter chemical symbol as they could.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20We're looking for any of the four elements on the periodic table
0:27:20 > 0:27:24that are represented by a single letter symbol and are also a gas. There's just four of them.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29By gas, we mean something that is gas at room temperature and at sea level.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Best of luck at home, getting all four.- Thank you very much.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Lynne and Dudley have played best throughout the show so far, so get to go first.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- OK. We have an answer.- We have.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Lynne, you said earlier that science would be a good subject for you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Is this the right sort of area of science?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It is, but I've got a little bit of a mental block at the moment. So...
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- But we've got an answer. Dudley is going to give that.- OK, Dudley.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- You've been handed the answer. - I have indeed.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- We're going to go with hydrogen. - That wasn't what I said!
0:28:02 > 0:28:03AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- It is now. - LAUGHTER
0:28:05 > 0:28:07OK, hydrogen.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Hydrogen. Benali and Freyja, you can now confer out loud if you need to.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14So, I mean, we had hydrogen.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17There's oxygen as well. Nitrogen.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21We're not sure of the fourth one so we're not going to give that one.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- So it's between oxygen and nitrogen. - I think nitrogen.- We're going to go for nitrogen.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28OK, we have hydrogen, we have nitrogen.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Lynne and Dudley went with hydrogen. Is that right?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33How many people said hydrogen?
0:28:33 > 0:28:34It is right.
0:28:38 > 0:28:4031.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43APPLAUSE
0:28:43 > 0:28:4531 for hydrogen.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Lynne, can I ask, what was the answer you told Dudley to give?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- Nitrogen. - LAUGHTER
0:28:51 > 0:28:54But he never listens to me, so...
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Benali and Freyja went with nitrogen.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58So let's see if that's right
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and, if it is, let's see if it beats hydrogen.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Yeah, it does. Look at that. 22.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10APPLAUSE
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Very well done.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Nitrogen wins it for you, which means after only one question,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Benali and Freyja are ahead 1-0.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Richard.- Dudley is in trouble.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20LAUGHTER
0:29:20 > 0:29:24I can just hear in the ear going up the M6 now, believe me.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27So we've already heard three of the four.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31There is a fourth, though, and the fourth one is a pointless answer.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Very well done at home if you said fluorine.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Fluorine, which is F and was pointless.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Nitrogen, M, 22. Hydrogen, H, 31.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And oxygen, O, 38.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Well done if you got all four, but especially for fluorine.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Lynne and Dudley, most especially Dudley,
0:29:50 > 0:29:54you have to win this question to stay in the game/alive.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57LAUGHTER
0:29:57 > 0:29:59OK, here it comes.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many top-flight winning
0:30:04 > 0:30:06football managers as they could.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Top-flight winning football managers.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12We're looking for any manager who successfully managed a team
0:30:12 > 0:30:15to win the top-flight of English football since the 1980-81 season.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18By top-flight, we mean the Premiership from 1992 onwards.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It was the First Division before that.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25So, anyone from 80-81 all the way to the 2010-2011 season, please.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Thanks very much, Richard.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Benali and Freyja, you go first this time.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36- So, Freyja's left me... - I have to say, I'm useless here.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39So, Benali is taking this one on his shoulders.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41So, I'm going to go for a bit of a risky one
0:30:41 > 0:30:46- and go for Graeme Souness. - Graeme Souness, you're saying. OK.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Lynn and Dudley.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49I'm in the same boat as Freyja on this one,
0:30:49 > 0:30:53I know nothing about football whatsoever.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55So, this is Dudley's question. If he gets it wrong,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58it's going to be his fault.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04- OK.- Sam Allardyce. - Sam Allardyce, says Dudley.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08So, we have Graeme Souness and we have Sam Allardyce.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10OK, in the order they were given, Benali and Freyja
0:31:10 > 0:31:13have gone with Graeme Souness. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17If it is, Let's see how many people said Graeme Souness.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Oh! Bad luck. Bad luck, bad luck. Now then, Lynn and Dudley,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25this is the question you have to win.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28All you have to be is correct, it doesn't matter what it scores.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Sam Allardyce, you say. Let's see if it's right. If it is,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34let's see how many people said Sam Allardyce.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Oh! Both wrong!
0:31:38 > 0:31:41So, after two questions Benali and Freyja remain ahead,
0:31:41 > 0:31:421-0. Richard.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I'm more and more concerned for Dudley.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46LAUGHTER
0:31:46 > 0:31:49His safety.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Allardyce has never been in a big enough club to win the Premiership,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54neither has Souness. Let's take a look at all the men who have done it.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Howard Kendall won it twice with Everton.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Would've scored one point. Ron Saunders, with Aston Villa, two.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Joe Fagan, Liverpool, two. George Graham, Arsenal, two.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Howard Wilkinson won the very last First Division.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Would've scored you three points.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Bob Paisley, of Liverpool, won six League titles.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Would've scored you five.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Carlo Ancelotti won in 2010 with Chelsea, 14.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Mourinho won it twice with Chelsea, 24.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Dalglish won it with Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers, 31.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Arsene Wenger has won it three times, 31.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27And Alex Ferguson, 73, has won it 12 times with Man United.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Well, thank you very much. Here is your third question.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Again, Lynn and Dudley,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:38 > 0:32:45to name as many names in book titles of the New Testament as they could.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Names in book titles of the New Testament.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any given name,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52i.e. the name of a person in any of the four titles in any
0:32:52 > 0:32:56of the books of the New Testament in the King James version, please.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Lynn and Dudley, you go first, obviously, this time.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- OK.- OK?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10So then, Lynn and Dudley, what are you going to go for?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12The Acts Of The Apostles.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Acts.- Acts.
0:33:15 > 0:33:22The Acts Of The Apostles, OK. Acts. Benali and Freyja.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Well, we assumed when you said names, you meant proper names,
0:33:26 > 0:33:30so we were between Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Oh, right.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35So, yeah...
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Matthew?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40OK, Matthew. Lynn and Dudley have gone for Acts.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many said Acts.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Bad luck.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Which means, Benali and Freyja, all you needed to be correct
0:33:49 > 0:33:52and you are through to the final.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Let's see if you are correct with Matthew.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Yes, you are. Well done, you've done it!
0:34:00 > 0:34:02For what it's worth, it was 47.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05APPLAUSE
0:34:05 > 0:34:08But all it had to be was correct, and it was, which means, after three
0:34:08 > 0:34:11questions, Benali and Freyja, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Richard.- Sorry, Dudley and Lynn. Didn't listen to the explanation.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- I hope that wasn't your fault, Dudley.- That was my fault, that one.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23- Yes!- That's good news.- That's an equalizer, Dudley.- That's right.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26That is a happy ending. Let's take a look at all the correct answers.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Two pointless ones here.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Titus, as in the Epistle To Titus. That was pointless.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Philemon, also pointless. Very well done if you got either of those.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Timothy would have scored you one point, as would Jude.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Peter and Paul both six.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43James, 11. And there's the four Gospels at the top. Mark, 43.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49Don't look that up. Matthew, 47. Luke, 47. And John, 53.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:34:52 > 0:34:54is Lynn and Dudley. That was tough.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56There was one answer which was misheard and might have
0:34:56 > 0:34:58won you a point.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00But even had you won that, you had two incorrect answers
0:35:00 > 0:35:03with Sam Allardyce and Acts Of The Apostles, I'm afraid.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08So, you can comfort yourselves, it wasn't hanging on that anyway.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I tell you what, the good news is you will be back next time.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15We look forward to seeing you then. You've been great contestants.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:20But for Benali and Freyja,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot
0:35:23 > 0:35:24of £1,000.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Very well done, Benali and Freyja. You've fought off
0:35:32 > 0:35:35all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39APPLAUSE
0:35:41 > 0:35:43You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000,
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- there it is. - APPLAUSE
0:35:50 > 0:35:53The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:35:53 > 0:35:55all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57That's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02You only have to find one and you'll go home with that money.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05First thing, you've got to choose a category.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You can choose from these three options. They are...
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Well, I'm guessing we can rule out classical music,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17unless you have hidden talents that I don't know about.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I did do some music, but otherwise no. Because no.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26If you do 20th Century Dramatists, it's going to be you on your own.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28I would not be any help.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33- Celebrities, I think, will be in the middle for both of us.- Yeah.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36But Dramatists, you now, if you feel confident in it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- I'm not hugely confident on that at all.- No.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I could, you know, give a guess,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- but maybe if we could both give a guess on Celebrities...- Yeah.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Yeah.- It would be better to try that one...
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- So, yeah.- ..and have two half brains compared to one.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- Yeah, I think... Yeah?- Yeah, let's go for Celebrities.- OK, Celebrities.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57That's what you're going for. Let's find out the question.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:37:00 > 0:37:02as many hosts of An Audience With...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04As they could. Richard.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Looking for any person or fictional character
0:37:07 > 0:37:10who has presented at least one episode of ITV series
0:37:10 > 0:37:14An Audience With..., since the first one in 1980 to March 2011,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16when it was presented by a group.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18We're looking for the name of the group
0:37:18 > 0:37:19rather than any individual with in it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Very best of luck. There is a huge amount of names on this list.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24OK, you now have one minute to come up three answers.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28All you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers
0:37:28 > 0:37:31to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- So, it's basically any famous person for the last 20 years.- Yeah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- I have literally no idea. I've never...- You don't need to watch it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Things like Girls Aloud, Shirley Bassey... Elton John had one.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- George Michael...- OK.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- But someone slightly less famous. - Did George Michael have one?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I'm pretty sure. Take That did one, but they're quite obvious.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- I like George Michael. - We can put George Michael as one.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- I think like... - What about comedians?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59How about the guy who does the tribute act?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Like, you know... Canadian singer.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Michael Buble.- OK. - Michael Buble did one.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Did Alan...? Like, Ball...
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- I have literally never heard of this.- The musical drama guy.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14It's like Ball something. He's really annoying.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Michael Ball.- So, have you got any more comedians?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- We've got 12 seconds. - Go with those, that's fine.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Are you sure?- We might as well. - OK.- OK, you're happy?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28We'll stop the clock there. There we are, your time is up.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29You have three answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32We were looking for people who have hosted An Audience With...
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What are your three answers?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- So, we've got Michael Ball. - Michael Ball.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- George Michael.- George Michael.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- And the other one was? - Did you say Michael Buble?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Michael Buble. - All the Michael's.- Yeah!
0:38:43 > 0:38:44LAUGHTER
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Of those three,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Your most obscure answer.- I think Michael Ball.- Michael Ball, yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Michael Ball last. - Probably Michael Buble...- First.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Mickey Bubbles first.- Yeah.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- And George Michael...- In the middle. - Probably where he'd like to be.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05LAUGHTER
0:39:10 > 0:39:15We'll just put them up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, we were looking for hosts of An Audience With...
0:39:23 > 0:39:27You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30OK, Michael Buble is your first answer.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Good luck.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37OK, well, it's right.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40If this can go all the way down to zero,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43then you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Down it goes into the 20s, into the teens...! Oh, 12!
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Not bad at all.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49APPLAUSE
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Not bad at all, 12 then.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54So, obviously, not a pointless answer.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58OK, you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- What would you do with 500 quid each?- Pay off some debts.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Maybe go abroad for a bit.- I want to go to the Edinburgh Festival.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08So, towards a plane ticket maybe? Some accommodation.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- Very good. Yeah.- Also, you know,
0:40:09 > 0:40:13any remainder, probably, student loan.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15OK, very good.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Well, let's see if either of your remaining answers
0:40:17 > 0:40:22will win that for you. George Michael is your second answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28This has to be pointless, obviously, for you to win £1,000.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Oh!
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Unfortunately, an incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36So, not pointless, obviously.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Which means, you only have one more chance to win
0:40:39 > 0:40:42today's jackpot of £1,000. This is your last answer
0:40:42 > 0:40:45and the one you thought was your best shot at being pointless.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Michael Ball.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Michael Ball. Everything is hanging
0:40:50 > 0:40:53on Michael Ball. It has to be right and it have to be pointless.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57If it is, you will leave here with £1,000. Let's see if it is right.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Michael Ball.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Oh, no!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04No! Bad luck!
0:41:04 > 0:41:07APPLAUSE
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I could have sworn he had done An Audience With..., but there we are.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:16 > 0:41:20so, I'm afraid, you don't go away with our jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23which rolls over onto the next show. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Thank you both for playing.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27You do get our Pointless trophy, if that makes it any easier.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Richard.- Unlucky, guys. Both are good answers. No George Michael,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I'm afraid. Elton John has done one. Tom Jones has done one.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Sir Cliff has done one. All sorts of people have.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43If you took Take That, that also would've scored you 12 points.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Let's look at the pointless ones, though.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Well done if you got any of these at home. An Audience With Alf Garnett.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50That was pointless. An Audience With Coronation Street, in 2006.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Diana Ross, they did An Audience With...
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Donny and Marie Osmond, my brother and sister,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00were pointless. Jackie Mason, the US comedian. Joe Pasquale.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Speaks very highly of you.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05LAUGHTER
0:42:05 > 0:42:08An Audience With Lennox Lewis. I can't believe I didn't see that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11An Audience With Ricky Martin. And An Audience With Sooty.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14They haven't done An Audience With The Pope yet.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- I'd like to see that. - That would be good.- Wouldn't it?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Thanks very much, Richard. Did you know any of those answers?- No.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I don't really feel cheated, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Fair enough.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Benali and Freyja, but it's been brilliant having you.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35You've been absolutely spectacular contestants. Thanks. Brilliant.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37APPLAUSE
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Nobody has won our jackpot today, so it rolls over, which means,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44on the next show, we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:42:52 > 0:42:53And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
