0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless
0:00:26 > 0:00:33where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42Welcome back, Lynne and Dudley. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is your last chance. Remind us what happened.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50I, in the first instance, gave an answer that I shouldn't have given.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- You misheard your instruction from Lynne?- I misheard.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- You said "hydrogen". You should have said "nitrogen".- Yes.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Our opponents said "nitrogen" and unfortunately, they got it.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07We can put all that behind us. Today is a new day. What do you like to do in your spare time, Dudley?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Both Lynne and I are members of Rotary International.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15In fact, I'm the present President of our local Rotary Club
0:01:15 > 0:01:19and Lynne is our immediate past President.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Wow! You took over the chains of office from Lynne?
0:01:23 > 0:01:30- Yes.- What sort of nick were they in? - They were pretty good.- It was a hard act to follow, I've got to say.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Lynne's very much into charity work abroad, especially in India.- Right.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I've been over to India twice, vaccinating babies against polio
0:01:39 > 0:01:43as part of the Global Eradication of Polio Project.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49- That's fantastic. It's great to have you on the show again and very best of luck to you.- Thank you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Next, we welcome Cliff and Nick. How on earth do you two know each other?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59You can see that we're identical twins, so we've known each other before we were born.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Since conception you've known each other. - And I'm the oldest by 90 minutes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- That is quite a long time.- I was enjoying myself after he'd gone.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- "It's nice in here!" - LAUGHTER
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Anyway, what do you do, Cliff?- I'm a correspondence delivery officer.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20You're a...? Yeah, I see.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23That's "postman" in English, isn't it?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Is that genuinely what you're now called?- That's what I call myself. It's the posh variety.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Nick, how about you? What do you do?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35I'm a design draughtsman for a transformer company.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Nick, if I told my son that you worked in a factory where they made Transformers,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- he would be over the moon. - He can't have one.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I'd take him down there, he'd be so excited.- Then bitterly disappointed.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54That would be like when my parents finally caved in and took us to Piccadilly Circus.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57LAUGHTER
0:02:57 > 0:03:02What a bitter disappointment that was! Exciting, the lights and everything...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05But where's the elephant?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12It's great to have you on the show. Welcome to you both. Best of luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Next, we welcome Malcolm and Alison. How do you two know each other?
0:03:16 > 0:03:22- We're brother and sister. - Where are you from? - We're from Edinburgh up in Scotland.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Alison, what would you love to see come up?- Besides history, geography, that kind of thing,
0:03:28 > 0:03:34the film Anchorman, the Eurovision Song Contest and the Power Rangers are my three specialist subjects.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Very good. They're firm friends of Pointless, the Power Rangers.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- I look forward to seeing them. - Malcolm, how about you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'm glad you asked that. I'm a cloud enthusiast.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- No?- Yes. I'm a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53You pay your £3 membership, you get a certificate and a badge
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- and you're allowed to take photos of clouds. - Otherwise, you're not allowed to(!)
0:03:58 > 0:04:04- No, you have to have a licence. - You can take photos of clouds? You are kidding me!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Any cloud.- Do you have a jacket with a silver lining?
0:04:07 > 0:04:13- AUDIENCE GROANS - No, that's only when you reach the top stage.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16What's the best cloud you've ever seen?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Oh, it's hard to choose. They're all personal favourites of mine.
0:04:20 > 0:04:26- There was quite a good one out the other day, a nice, wee altocumulus lenticularis.- I saw that!- Did you?
0:04:26 > 0:04:32- It was amazing.- Brilliant. - Best cloud.- Very good. It's great to have you on the show. Best of luck.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Finally, we welcome back Wendy and Alyson. You were also on the show last time. Remind us what happened.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We went out in the second round.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46We'd done really well in the first round and our goal was not to go out in the first round,
0:04:46 > 0:04:51so we achieved that, but we got questions on film villains and I chose the wrong one.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- You chose some high-scoring... Lex Luthor and the Child Catcher?- Yes.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Two unforgettable villains and, as we discovered, nobody had forgotten them.- Exactly.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05You've now broken the meniscus of the second round,
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- so I think this time all the way through to the head-to-head. - No problem.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15What would help you get there? What would be your choice of category?
0:05:15 > 0:05:21I would like anything on musicals. I quite like geography. That worked quite well for us.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Very good. Alyson, what would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Something perhaps to do with maths.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- Or geography did us well last time. We've lived in a few different countries.- That's right.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Your American states were tip-top.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's lovely having you back on the show. Very best of luck.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51He belongs to a secret order of intellectuals who meet to discuss EastEnders plot lines.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- He's my pointless friend Richard. - Hiya.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00It should be a cracking show. We've got two very strong returning pairs.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Lynne and Dudley were very unlucky in that head-to-head and Wendy and Alyson also very, very strong.
0:06:06 > 0:06:12But twins quite often do very well on this show, Cliff and Nick, you'll be delighted to hear.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Round One is a subject no-one has ever asked for in the history of Pointless.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23When you've gone along the line saying, "What would you like to see," no-one has ever said this.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Nor will they ever. - LAUGHTER
0:06:26 > 0:06:29We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37To stay in the game, our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and when that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:45 > 0:06:52Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 and today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54APPLAUSE
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20LAUGHTER
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Fruit. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Let's find out what that first question is. Here it comes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many melons as they could.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47- Melons, Richard?- I think I'm right in saying no-one's asked for that? - Never, ever, ever.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52All the correct answers in this round will be varieties of melon.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58Splendid. Dudley and Lynne, you all drew lots before the show and, this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04In this round, we are going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I will read those all again.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29At least one of those answers is pointless
0:08:29 > 0:08:33and at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Pick one of those incorrect ones and you will score a maximum 100 points.
0:08:37 > 0:08:43Remember, we are looking for varieties of melon. What are you thinking, Dudley?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I'm thinking I know absolutely nothing about melons.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50But I'll go for Galia.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Galia, you're saying. There it is, one up from the bottom.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer - Galia.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- 37. - APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:17- 37 for Galia, Richard? - Yeah, a yellow rind and a pale green flesh. It's a hybrid melon.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Very good indeed. Now then, Nick, melons is what we're looking for.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Um...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, it's hard, isn't it?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I think we'll have to have a punt. Casaba.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Casaba. Cliff thinks that's a good punt.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Is it right and how many people said Casaba?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Very well done. That's pointless!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49APPLAUSE
0:09:49 > 0:09:54It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £2,250,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and it scores you absolutely nothing. Richard?
0:09:57 > 0:10:03Yeah, very good answer. Yellow rind and white flesh, named after a town in Turkey.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Very good. Thank you. So, Alison W...
0:10:06 > 0:10:09We're looking for types of melon.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15I have no idea... The answer I'm going to go with, I don't know if it's a melon or not.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19It's either a melon or a Japanese Anime character or a Manga character.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So I'm going to go with Kimura.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Kimura...- I'm sorry if it's wrong.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30Kimura. Let's see if it is right and if it is, let's see how many people said Kimura.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Oh, bad luck, Alison.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- Never mind.- Kimura is an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Sorry, Alison. Hiroichi Kimura is a Japanese melon farmer
0:10:45 > 0:10:49who made the world's first heart-shaped melon.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Wow! Alyson...
0:10:51 > 0:10:57- Yes.- Melons. You can talk us through the whole board and fill in the missing gaps.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I can play very safe and go for "watermelon" which most people will know.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Nutmeg is a herb or spice, so is that also a type of melon?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Charentais, I've heard of, but I don't know if it's a melon.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13And Tamara, I've no idea.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I think I'm going to go for Charentais.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Charentais. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Charentais.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Well done. How far down is it going to go? Still going down.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Well done. One point for Charentais!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34APPLAUSE
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Very well done. Richard? - Yeah, very good answer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43You often eat them with Parma ham or prosciutto, the Charentais melon.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Let's fill in the board.- Is that the orange one?- Yeah, exactly right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Watermelon, the clue's in the name, although it only scored 72 points.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56So 28 people don't know a watermelon is a melon.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59And of those other two...
0:11:59 > 0:12:04I happen to know that Tamara Mellon is the head of Jimmy Choo.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Yes, Tamara Mellon is the co-founder of Jimmy Choo Shoes, so that was an incorrect answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15Nutmeg was trying to put people off by sounding like a spice when in fact it is a melon.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- There is such a thing as a nutmeg melon.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Let's take a look at the scores.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Nick and Cliff are looking very, very strong indeed on nothing,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28as indeed are Alyson and Wendy on 1,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31then up to 37 for Dudley and Lynne
0:12:31 > 0:12:36and then way, way, way up, I'm afraid, where we join Alison and Malcolm on 100.
0:12:36 > 0:12:43Malcolm, you have to find a really obscure melon and hope somebody else slips up in the next pass.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK, we're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55We are looking for melons and we have got...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'll read those one more time.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Again at least one of those answers is incorrect and at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19so try and avoid those incorrect ones if you can. Now then, Wendy...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22The high scorers are Malcolm and Alison on 100.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27You are on 1, so if you can score 98 or less, you are in the next round.
0:13:27 > 0:13:34I'm going to be a coward and play safe because the bar is fairly high, so I'm going to say Cantaloupe.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Cantaloupe, you're hoping that gets you below 98.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42There is your red bar. If you're below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Cantaloupe, is it right, how many people said it?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well done. You've done it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Very good. 59.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53APPLAUSE
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Richard?- Yeah, well played, Wendy, safely through.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Named after a castle in Italy, the Cantaloupe.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Splendid. Malcolm, Wendy has done you a sort of tactical favour.
0:14:06 > 0:14:13She has removed Cantaloupe from the board, so somebody may have to take a massive punt later on
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and they may score 100 points.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- But you also have to take a massive punt because you have to score as low as you can.- Yes, I do.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- Are you a melonologist?- I can name one other melon that's up there
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and I'm going to have to take a gigantic guess,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33so for the reason that it's the most fun to say out of all of those,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm going to go with the Cravin melon.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38What do you think, Alison?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I don't think I have a leg to stand on. He can do whatever he wants to.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Fingers tightly crossed, Malcolm.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Let's see if Cravin is right and if it is, how many people said Cravin melon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Oh, no!
0:14:54 > 0:15:00- Out in a blaze of glory, Malcolm. - How embarrassing! - It's not embarrassing at all.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- That would be a brilliant melon. - Wouldn't it?- Cravin. - It would be a fantastic melon.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Richard?- That's the way to go out. Cravin' Melon is an American heavy metal band.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Right. LAUGHTER
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Oh, well... Cliff, we come to you. Nick scored a pointless answer in the first pass.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23- What about scoring another one now? - I'll try and match him. I can't let him beat me.- You can't.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29Unfortunately, I was up half the night revising grapefruits, so I don't know much about melons.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33So, looking down that list, I'll go for "horned".
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Horned.- Sounds good to me. - The horned melon.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Let's see if "horned" is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Oh, very well done. You got it!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55APPLAUSE
0:15:55 > 0:16:00That's pointless. It adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to £2,500.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It scores you nothing and leaves your total at nothing.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Identical twins, identical scores, double pointless, well done.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14It's a sweet melon with horn-like spikes. It's sometimes known as the African horned cucumber.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20If you want a name for a heavy metal band, African Horned Cucumber is better than Cravin' Melon.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Very well done. Now then, Lynne...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Melons is what we're looking for.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29You are through to the next round whatever happens.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Even if you score 100 points, you are in Round Two.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Let's see if there's another pointless answer. Talk us through the board as well.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I mean, honeydew, that is a melon.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46But I'm going to choose one of the others that I don't know.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm going to go for Canary.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- You're going to go for Canary?- Yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00There's no red line because you're through. Canary, is it a melon?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03It is.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Well done. It's pointless, Lynne.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17taking the total up to £2,750.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It scores you nothing and leaves your total at a very respectable 37.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27Very well played, Lynne. The canary melon has bright yellow skin and they're going "cheap".
0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER AND GROANS
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Let's take a look at the rest of the board and fill these in.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38The honeydew melon obviously is a melon. Would've scored you 63.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42A Galia melon is a hybrid of Cantaloupe and honeydew.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48The Ogen melon is named after the kibbutz in Israel where it was first developed. Would've scored you 14.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Gibson, is that pointless or incorrect?- I think it's incorrect probably.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Well, Mel Gibson is an anagram of "big melons".
0:17:56 > 0:17:58LAUGHTER
0:17:58 > 0:18:04It's an incorrect answer. Horned and canary are the pointless answers. Well done if you said those.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair is Malcolm and Alison.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Oh, dear, oh, dear. You did the right thing. You tried very hard with Kimura and Cravin.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20They both sound like damn fine melons, but they turned out to be just wrong.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26We have to say goodbye to you now, but we'll see you next time. Thanks for playing, Malcolm and Alison!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28APPLAUSE
0:18:28 > 0:18:32But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:37 > 0:18:44There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will be leaving us after this round.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06OK, so our question concerns Famous Women And Their Famous Mothers.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Richard?- We'll show you a list of six famous women on each pass.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16We asked 100 people to name their famous mothers. A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points,
0:19:16 > 0:19:22but an incorrect answer will score 100 points. 12 famous women and their mothers to guess at home.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28Thank you very much. We are looking for the famous mothers of these famous women and here they are.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49You are looking for the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Now, Dudley, what does that list say to you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:59That list says to me that I should have stayed in Ormskirk and not bothered coming down the M6.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02But I have an idea.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07I know Zara Phillips, so I'll go for Princess Anne, the Princess Royal.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Princess Anne, you are saying, as mother of Zara Phillips.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, it's an expensive one, Dudley.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23It was safe, but it was only 12 points safer than wrong.
0:20:23 > 0:20:30- Richard?- Yeah, very big score, big risk to take, but if it's the only one you know, it's better than 100.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36Indeed. Now then, Nick, remember, we are looking for the famous mothers of these women.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Claudia Winkleman, I should know, I've seen her so many times.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44No, I'm sorry.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- I can't even guess.- We're going to need a guess from you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Mary Barton for Claudia Winkleman.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Mary Barton. Claudia Winkleman - Mary Barton, says Nick.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Is that right and if it is, how many people said Mary Barton?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Bad luck, Nick.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08That's an incorrect answer. I'm afraid you score 100 points.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14- Richard?- I won't give you the correct answer in case the other team want to have a go at that one.
0:21:14 > 0:21:21Alyson, you can talk us through all the famous mothers of these famous people, then pick one to submit.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I wish I knew them all.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I do know Liza Minnelli.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32I think I'm going to go safe with Liza Minnelli and let Wendy do the trick on the next round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Judy Garland. - Judy Garland for Liza Minnelli.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yes, it's right.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- 49.- Well done.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47APPLAUSE
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- 49, the best score of the pass. Richard?- Well done, Alyson.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- There's quite a big score for Kate Hudson. Do you know her mum? - It's Goldie Hawn.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Would've scored you 45 points.
0:22:00 > 0:22:06- Jamie Lee Curtis's mother?- Janet Leigh.- Janet Leigh from Psycho, Tony Curtis being her father.
0:22:06 > 0:22:1013 points. Claudia Winkleman's mother?
0:22:10 > 0:22:16- I nearly said Su Pollard. I mean Eve Pollard.- Exactly right, the writer, newspaper woman. Scored 8 points.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- And do you know Melanie Griffith's mother?- No.
0:22:19 > 0:22:235 points, best answer. It's Tippi Hedren who starred in The Birds.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Oh.- Yeah.- I didn't know that. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33We're halfway through the round. The best score of this pass, Alyson and Wendy on 49.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Then we go up to 88 for Dudley and Lynne,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40then up a little bit beyond that to Nick and Cliff on 100,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44so Cliff and Lynne, it's between you, I would say,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48to decide who's staying with us and who's leaving us.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56We'll put six more famous women on the board.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And here is our second list.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'll read those one more time.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18We are looking for the famous mother of these famous women.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Wendy, you are the low scorers on 49. The high scorers are Cliff and Nick on 100.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30If you can score 50 or less, you are in the next round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I'm going to go with, um...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37..Peaches Geldof
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and it is Paula...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I don't know. Paula...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm going to kick myself when you tell me.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Stephenson.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Paula Stephenson, you're saying.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Paula Stephenson for Peaches Geldof.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Bad luck, Wendy, I'm afraid, that's an incorrect answer
0:24:05 > 0:24:09which takes your total up to 149.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Richard?
0:24:11 > 0:24:16Unlucky, Wendy. I won't give the right answer in case the other two teams want to have a go.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Cliff, we are looking for the famous mothers of these women.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23The high scorers are now Alyson and Wendy on 149.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28If you can score 48 or less, you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- There's a lot of women I don't know very well and some women... - Aren't there though?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36LAUGHTER
0:24:36 > 0:24:40But I'll go with Peaches Geldof, Paula Yates.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Paula Yates.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Paula Yates, says Cliff. There's your red line.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50If you get below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Let's see if Paula Yates is right and how many people said it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It's right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00You've done it. Very well done. 40.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- APPLAUSE - That was all it took.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07It takes your total up to 140. Richard?
0:25:07 > 0:25:13Yeah, her full name is Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Anyway, thank you very much.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17So then, Lynne,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21we're looking for the famous mothers of these women.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28The high scorers, 149, still Wendy and Alyson. If you score 60 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- I know all the people up there. - Talk us through them.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Carrie Fisher, her father was Eddie Fisher.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Her mother was a famous actress, but I can't think of her name.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Chloe Madeley is the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Rachael Stirling, she's the one that I'm not so sure about.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Gwyneth Paltrow, of course, everybody's heard of her,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54but the one I'm going for and it is a bit of a punt
0:25:54 > 0:25:58is Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Her mother is Janet Ellis.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- Lovely Janet Ellis.- She used to do Blue Peter.- Very good indeed.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07You want to score 60 or less. There is your red line.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13Let's see if Janet Ellis gets you below that red line. Is it right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Yes, she's done it for you. - High five.- Very well done.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24That scores you 37 and it takes your total up to 125.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Richard? - Yeah, very well played, Lynne.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34Very lucky you didn't say Chloe Madeley. It is Judy Finnigan, but it would have scored you 64 points.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38It would have just seen you losing out.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Do you want to have a go at these? Carrie Fisher?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Eddie Fisher is the father and Debbie Reynolds is the mother.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Would've scored 14 points. Well done if you got that. Gwyneth Paltrow?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Again her mother is an actress. - Yes, I know exactly who she is.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- She's got a lovely name.- Blythe Danner. Would've scored 6 points.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04And Rachael Stirling, that's the best answer on the board. Another actress.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Diana Rigg. - Diana Rigg, exactly right.
0:27:07 > 0:27:102 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:16Thanks very much, Richard. After Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, Wendy and Alyson.
0:27:16 > 0:27:22- Oh, dear. Round Two last time, Round Two this time. - That's the way it's meant to be.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28It's been lovely meeting you both and thanks for coming on the show. Wendy and Alyson, great contestants!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30APPLAUSE
0:27:30 > 0:27:36But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:40 > 0:27:46Very well done, Cliff and Nick, Lynne and Dudley. You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52Only one pair can make it through to the final and play for the jackpot which stands at £2,750.
0:27:55 > 0:28:02Now, for each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:21 > 0:28:26to name as many cities that have held the FIFA World Cup Final as they could.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Cities that have held the FIFA World Cup Final.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34We're looking for any city that's held the FIFA World Cup Final
0:28:34 > 0:28:38from its inception through to and including the 2010 World Cup.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44OK, Cliff and Nick, because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46WHISPERING
0:28:49 > 0:28:52We'll go for Montevideo.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Montevideo, say Cliff and Nick.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Lynne and Dudley...
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Haven't got a Scooby-Doo, me, because I don't know anything about football.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And I know just a little bit less than that.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Go for what you said.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12We'll go for Johannesburg.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16OK, Johannesburg. We have Montevideo and we have Johannesburg.
0:29:16 > 0:29:22Cliff and Nick said Montevideo. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Oh, very, very well done.
0:29:32 > 0:29:39Nearly our fourth pointless of the show, but one person remembered Montevideo. Very, very good answer.
0:29:39 > 0:29:45Lynne and Dudley, you said Johannesburg. Let's see if that's right and if it is right,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48if it can go as low as or lower than Montevideo.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Johannesburg?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's right.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Wow!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Very low score there.
0:30:04 > 0:30:089 for Johannesburg, so after one question, Cliff and Nick are ahead 1-0. Richard?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well played, both teams, but especially Nick and Cliff.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16The first World Cup Final was held in Montevideo in 1930.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20There's four pointless answers here. Any of these would have won the points.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Yokohama in Japan in 2002, Solna in Sweden from 1958,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Santiago, Chile, in 1962.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31The Pasadena Rose Bowl just outside Los Angeles held the final in 1994.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33There's Montevideo on 1,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Bern, Switzerland, 1...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Buenos Aires in Argentina, 7,
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Johannesburg, South Africa, 9, absolutely right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:47Rio de Janeiro held the deciding game in 1950. It wasn't the final, but it amounted to the same thing.
0:30:47 > 0:30:5011 points. Mexico City, 11, Berlin, 14,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Munich, 14, Madrid, 18, Rome, 22,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Paris, 29, and London, 57.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Splendid. Here is your second question.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Lynne and Dudley, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:06 > 0:31:10to name as many Papal names taken by five or more Popes.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- Richard?- We're simply looking for any Papal name taken by five or more Popes.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Good luck at home trying to get a few of these.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Lynne and Dudley, you go first this time.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I like the way Richard says "simply".
0:31:24 > 0:31:29"We're simply looking for... Yeah, just Papal names taken by five or more Popes."
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Pope Pius.- Pope Pius.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37Sounds like a good answer to me. Say Lynne and Dudley, Pope Pius.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Cliff and Nick...
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- They took our answer.- I'm sorry.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45It's either Pope John...
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- I can't think of any other.- Pope John.- Pope John. OK, sounds good.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52We have Pope Pius and we have Pope John.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58Lynne and Dudley, Pius has to do this for you, otherwise we say goodbye to you.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Pope Pius.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05It's right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's a good answer. Down it comes.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Look at that! It's a pointless answer!
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Very well done. That adds £250 to today's jackpot
0:32:16 > 0:32:20and takes the total up to £3,000.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25It scores you nothing. That's what Cliff and Nick have to equal.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30They've gone for Pope John. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Pope John.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:3752.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39APPLAUSE
0:32:39 > 0:32:46Very well done, Lynne and Dudley. That's a great answer. After two questions, you are one-all. Richard?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Brilliant answer. There's four pointless answers in all,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Pius obviously being one of them.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Very well done if you got one of those low scorers.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Thank you very much. Here is your third question.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Whoever wins this question will be going through to the final.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:33:28 > 0:33:33to name as many Police UK Top 40 singles as they could.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38- Richard?- We want any single released by The Police which reached the UK Top 40
0:33:38 > 0:33:41prior to May 2011, please,
0:33:41 > 0:33:45either released by The Police or had them as a named, featured artist.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Cliff and Nick, you go first again this time.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50WHISPERING
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I Do Do Da...
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I Do Do Do.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02LAUGHTER
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I Do Do Da.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07But which?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I Do Do Da.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- I Do Do Da is what you're saying?- Yeah.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I Do Do Da is the answer you're giving. OK...
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Lynne and Dudley?
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- I think we should go for Don't Stand So Close To Me. - Don't Stand So Close To Me.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Don't Stand So Close To Me. Very good indeed.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33We have I Do Do Da from Cliff and Nick. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Bad luck.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Lynne and Dudley, you've said Don't Stand So Close To Me.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46Let's see how many people said that. All it has to be is right.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49It's right. You're through to the final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5432...
0:34:54 > 0:34:57is its score.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59But it merely had to be right and it was.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04After three questions, Lynne and Dudley are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:04 > 0:35:10- Richard?- Tough luck, guys. It's not I Do Do Da. It's De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It's actually De Do Do Do (De Da Da Da).
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- De Do Do Do would have done it?- Yes.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18He doesn't know his Morse Code!
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Let's take a look at all the answers. There's a few pointless ones up here.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27When The World Is Running Down and King Of Pain, both pointless,
0:35:27 > 0:35:33Wrapped Around Your Finger, Spirits In The Material World, Can't Stand Losing You all scored 1.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Synchronicity II would have scored 2,

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Amazing. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04At the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid the losing pair is Cliff and Nick.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09For now, we say goodbye, but thanks very much, Cliff and Nick. Great contestants.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16But for Lynne and Dudley, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Congratulations, Lynne and Dudley.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31You have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:35 > 0:36:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £3,000.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44APPLAUSE
0:36:44 > 0:36:50The rules are very simple. All you need to win that money is to find a pointless answer.
0:36:50 > 0:36:57That's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of. We've had four pointless answers today.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Lynne, you gave us canary melon and you both gave us Pope Pius in the head-to-head.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06All you have to do to win that money is find one more pointless answer.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10First, choose a category and you can choose from these three options.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- 20th Century Dramatists? - No, I don't think so.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- World Politics?- Possibly.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- And Pop Music, it depends what era it is.- I'm too old.
0:37:27 > 0:37:34- World Politics or Pop Music?- We'll go for Pop Music.- OK, Pop Music. Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:37 > 0:37:42- to name as many George Michael UK Top 40 singles as they could. - I haven't got a clue.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48- Richard?- We're looking for any single released by George Michael or had him as a named, featured artist
0:37:48 > 0:37:51that's reached the UK Top 40 prior to May 2011.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56Any George Michael solo hit or has had him as a featured, named artist.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07All you need to win that £3,000 is for just one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Can I just clarify, Richard?
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Are we talking about George Michael on his own?- George Michael on his own. No Wham singles.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- Dancing In The Street? - Was it Dancing In The Street? I can't think of any others.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I don't know any George Michael. He's not somebody that I...
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Dancing In The Street, George Michael, George Michael.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Dancing In The Street is definitely one with Elton John.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- I can't think.- I can't think. - I cannot think of two others.- No.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46We'll definitely go with Dancing In The Street.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Sing it!- No.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Um...
0:38:54 > 0:38:59- Five seconds left. - We've only got four seconds. - We can only think of one.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01We can only think of the one.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05That's your time up. We were looking for George Michael UK Top 40 hits.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I now need just three answers from you.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13Well, I think the only answer we feel is absolute
0:39:13 > 0:39:18is George Michael singing Dancing In The Street. He featured with Elton John.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22OK, we're going to need two other song titles from you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25We'll say, um...Let's Go.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Let's Go.- And Up In The Morning.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Up In The Morning... - LAUGHTER
0:39:31 > 0:39:37- Of those three, which shall we put last?- The best shot is Dancing In The Street with Elton John.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- We'll put that last.- OK. - Which is your least likely?
0:39:41 > 0:39:46- Let's Go.- So we'll have Let's Go, Up In The Morning, Dancing In The Street.- Yes.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56We were looking for George Michael UK Top 40 hits.
0:39:56 > 0:40:03You said this was your least confident answer. You only need one pointless answer to win that £3,000.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09Let's see if Let's Go is a right answer and if it is, let's see if it's a pointless answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:19- I thought it would be.- Let's Go not a pointless answer. You only have two more chances to win the jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22What would you do with £3,000?
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- Go to India to immunise the babies against polio.- Very good indeed.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33OK, well, let's hope these two answers will help you get there.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Let's see. Your next answer is Up In The Morning.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- This has to be right. It has to be a song.- It's not.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47And it has to be pointless. Up In The Morning, is it right, how many people said it?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Bad luck, bad luck.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:54 > 0:41:02- Everything is hanging on Dancing In The Street. You think this is a song he sang with Elton John.- Yeah.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08Let's find out. It has to be right and it has to be pointless if you're going to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Dancing In The Street, is it right, how many people said it?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Yeah, bad luck, bad luck.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Oh, well... - APPLAUSE
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Faith - we could have had that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:28Well, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:33so you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000 which rolls over on to the next show,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- but you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.- Thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:48Sorry, guys. You played so brilliantly and the wrong category came up for you there.
0:41:48 > 0:41:54He did a song with Elton John. It was Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. It would have scored you 4 points.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Dancing In The Street was a hit for David Bowie and Mick Jagger.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04The big George Michael songs on the list - Careless Whisper, Freedom, Faith, Fastlove.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones, a few top ten hits amongst them.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Very well done if you got any of those at home and commiserations, guys. You played so well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35- Thank you.- Thank you.- Did you know any of those?- No.- Really?
0:42:35 > 0:42:41- None of the pointless ones. We knew Faith.- Yeah.- That came after we'd given the answers.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Lynne and Dudley,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- but thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:58Nobody has won our jackpot, so it rolls over and on the next show, we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:02 > 0:43:08- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
