0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:33the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Welcome Lucy and Claire, you are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- How do you two know each other? - We work together. We're primary school teachers.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We've known each other for about five years or so.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- What's the name of your school? - Aldingbourne Primary School. - Aldingbourne?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Are they all going to be watching? - Yes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Very good. Any subjects you simply can't afford to fail in?
0:00:58 > 0:01:04- I'd be embarrassed if I... Yeah, history, computers.- Oh, computers.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- I'm the science coordinator, so... - Oh, Lucy.- Mm.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11You can't fail in that, you simply can't.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16That aside, what would you like to see come up, Lucy?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Celebrity baby names. - Celebrity baby names, brilliant.
0:01:18 > 0:01:25- Celebrity baby names. Claire? - I'd be in trouble with anything popular culture-related.
0:01:25 > 0:01:32- Yeah, science, sort of fiction, I don't know. Star Wars.- Really?
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- Star Wars, all six?- Oh, no, not the newer ones!- OK, good, good!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Well, now the very best of luck to the pair of you. Great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Welcome Cliff and Nick. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51This is Cliff's and Nick's second chance. Remind us what happened.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We got through to the head-to-head
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and it was The Police that did for us.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I used to like them but I do, do dah, don't like them any more!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:05You couldn't remember, well, you remembered a Police song but not what it was called.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Do you now remember what it was called?- Do Do Da?- Nope!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da. - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16De Do Do Do, De Do Do Da.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18LAUGHTER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21To be fair, Sting, what were you thinking of?
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Well, now, it's a new show, Cliff, Nick. We can put Do Do Do behind us.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29What do you hope is going to come up?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Well, I'm hoping for board games.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I used to like board games when I was a kid
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and maybe the street names from Monopoly.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39What about you, Cliff, what would be great for you?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I've been revising on cardigans and jumpers. Different types...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44LAUGHTER
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I'm just hoping they'll come up, you know. On the off-chance.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53They might. We've had trousers.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Listen, it's wonderful to have you back on the show.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Very, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I hope we'll see you even further than the head-to-head this time.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Welcome Malcolm and Alison, who were also on the show last time. Remind us what happened to you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I think it was a wonderful performance.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- We crashed out majestically in the first round with 200 points!- You did!
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Which I thought was quite a good score.- It's a new show. What would you like to see come up?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Ideally, '90s kids' TV. Things like Power Rangers, Gladiators.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I wanted to be a Gladiator or a Power Ranger when I was a kid.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30What would your name have been if you'd been a Gladiator?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I was going to be called Blizzard but there was one in Australia.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Oh, no!- So I had to find a new name. - That was the Blizzard of Oz, wasn't it?- You're right.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39AUDIENCE GASPS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Come on!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Quick as you like, Richard. Anyway, what do you do, Malcolm?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I am a student at the University of Glasgow.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- I'm studying philosophy just now. Going into my last year.- Very good.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Alison, what do you do?- I work for a publishing company in Edinburgh.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Not quite as glamorous as it sounds. I do sales and marketing so I design publicity,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I get to visit big shops and sell them books.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- If anyone wants any books, I can get you a discount!- Very good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's great having you back on the show. Very best of luck
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- and please can we see you beyond Round One this time. - We'll see what we can do.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Finally, we have the Barries. Barries H and T.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23How do you two know each other?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28We both worked together 40 plus years ago
0:04:28 > 0:04:33until Barry left to join the fire service. We lost contact then.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And how did you come back into touch?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Surprisingly enough, we met in this building.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41We were in the audience to see This Is Your Life.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47I was with my girlfriend and saw a couple of seats while waiting to go into the studio.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I looked at him and said, "Barry Trimmer."
0:04:50 > 0:04:54How extraordinary! You've become firm friends again?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- That's right, yeah.- Very good. What categories would you like to come up, Barry H?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02'60s pop is one of my strongest subjects.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- What's your favourite band of all time?- I've got to be a Beatles fan.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ah, very good, very good.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Barry T, what would be a cracking category for you?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Well, strangely enough, I think imperial weights and measures
0:05:15 > 0:05:18would be quite a fun subject to experience.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21A nice, new meaning to the word "fun" there...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23LAUGHTER
0:05:23 > 0:05:28..which is good. It's brilliant having you on the show, Barries H and T.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32We will find out more about all of you throughout the show as we go along.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Every year he stages his own awards ceremony, The BOFTAs.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The British Obscure Facts and Trivia Awards.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42At the end of each show, he hands the top gong to himself!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49CHEERING
0:05:53 > 0:05:59It should be a good show. We've got Cliff and Nick who got through the head-to-head last time.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It usually means something good the following show.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Malcolm and Alison in the 200 Club which has a rare membership
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but not as rare as the Double 200 Club.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Let's see if you can get yourself in there today. That's very, very rarely.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Thanks. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:06:16 > 0:06:20but this is Pointless so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26For a chance to win the jackpot, our players need to score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30What everyone's trying to do is found a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05If anybody gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points
0:07:05 > 0:07:07so try and avoid those if you can.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10In this round, we're going to show you two question categories.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12The first category will be played as we go up the line,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16the second category will be played as we come back down.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's crucial who goes first and who goes second.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Let's reveal those two categories. Here they are...
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Beautiful People, The Beautiful Game.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32OK, so, remember, Beautiful People on the way up,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The Beautiful Game on the way down.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Can you decide on your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Our first category is Beautiful People.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's find out what the question is going to be.
0:07:52 > 0:07:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries that have won Miss World.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Richard.- Looking for any country that's had a Miss World winner
0:08:04 > 0:08:07since the competition was first held in 1951 up to and including 2010.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11OK. Before the show, you all drew lots and Lucy and Claire,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14you get to go first this afternoon.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19So, Claire. Countries that have won Miss World. Have you any idea?
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Absolutely none.- Because we don't just want a correct answer, we want to know an obscure answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29I'm not too embarrassed because this isn't something
0:08:29 > 0:08:31that anyone would expect me to know!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I am going to say, I'm going to play it really safe
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- and say the United States. - The United States of America.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Let's see if the United States is a correct answer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51If it is, let's see how man of our 100 people said it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Of course it's right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:5655.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58APPLAUSE
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- 55, Richard.- Pretty big score, but a correct answer.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07They won it five times, including the Puerto Rican winner in 1975
0:09:07 > 0:09:10who went on to marry Bruce Forsyth.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Now then, Cliff, countries that have won Miss World.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- It's not something you see on the TV now, is it?- No.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'd like to go with something safe...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25..but, er, hoping for Miss Argentina.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Argentina. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Let's see if Argentina's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35It's right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46A great answer, Cliff.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Argentina.- Yes, a good answer. Won it twice in 1960 and 1978.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59Now, Alison, what's the most obscure Miss World-winning country you can think of?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I can think of a few obscure countries.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'm not sure if any of them have won Miss World.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06There's one country I can think of,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I'm fairly certain won a few years... recently.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm going to go for Nigeria.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Nigeria, says Alison. Let's see if that's right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20You hope to score as few points as possible. How many people said Nigeria? Is it right?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22It is right.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Oh, fantastic, Alison!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34APPLAUSE, CHEERING
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Very good! That's pointless.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40takes the total up to £4,250
0:10:40 > 0:10:42and it scores you nothing.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Very, very well done indeed.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Richard.- Yeah, very well played, Alison.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47It won in 2001.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Thank you very much. Now then, Barry T,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52what is the most obscure nation
0:10:52 > 0:10:54that has won Miss World
0:10:54 > 0:10:56you can make up?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well, no pressure now, eh?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Um, a name comes to mind and I'm hoping that it's a correct one,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and that's Miss Venezuela.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Miss Venezuela, very good indeed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10You hope to score as few points as possible.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Let's see if Miss Venezuela is right and if so, how many people said it.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15It is right.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Very, very well done, Barry T!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24APPLAUSE
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Venezuela scores you 8.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Richard.- Well played, Barry. It won five times, Venezuela,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35five Venezuelan Miss Worlds. Let's look at the other pointless answers.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Austria won a couple of times,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Czech Republic, Greece,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Grenada, Miss Nigeria we've already had from Alison, very good answer,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and Miss Poland, all those were pointless answers.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46And Miss Turkey. Well done if you said any of those.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49OK, let's take a look at the high scorers.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52These are the ones that most of our hundred people said.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Brazil, 29.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57There's the United States with 55.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Not the worst thing you could have said.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02That would be the United Kingdom, which scored 62 points.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round
0:12:06 > 0:12:09so let's take a look at the scores. Alison and Malcolm,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12looking very strong indeed on nothing there.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Then we go up a couple of points to 5 where Cliff and Nick are.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Then up to 8 where the Barries are
0:12:18 > 0:12:20and then I'm sorry to say we hike up to 55
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- where Claire and Lucy are languishing at the moment.- Shame!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27So Lucy, your football knowledge is going to save the day?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Oh, absolutely.- OK, we'll come back down the line.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39OK, so for the second pass, the category is The Beautiful Game.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Let's see what the question is.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:12:45 > 0:12:47goalkeepers who have played for England
0:12:47 > 0:12:50as they could. Goalkeepers who have played for England.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54We're looking for anyone who's played in goal for England
0:12:54 > 0:12:56from 1966 right through to the beginning of 2011.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02They actually have to have played, no unused substitutes. Just any England goalkeepers
0:13:02 > 0:13:04from 1966 to 2011, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09OK, thank you very much. Now then, Barry H.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Goalkeepers who have played for England. Is this a good category for you?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Absolutely not. I am to football what Larry Grayson was to rugby league.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22But hopefully the name Peter Bonetti has come to mind.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Right you are. The high scorers are Lucy and Claire at the moment on 55.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29If you can score 46 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Peter Bonetti, you are saying. Let's see if it's right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36If it is, let's see how many said it. Here's your red line. That's where
0:13:36 > 0:13:41you want to get below to be sure of a place in the next round. Peter Bonetti.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42It's right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- You've done it.- Yes!
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Very well done indeed. That's great, Barry H.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55You've equalled Barry T's splendid score of eight
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- and your total is now 16. Richard.- Well played, Barry.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Played seven times between 1966 and 1970 including the 1970 World Cup.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- And I went to school with his daughter.- You went to school with his daughter?- I did.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- I had no idea.- How about that? - God, you keep these things quiet.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Well, I don't like to show off.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- LAUGHTER - Wow.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Now then, Malcolm. Remember we are looking for England goalkeepers.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23I know a few but I'll go to try and emulate a lovely zero score here
0:14:23 > 0:14:28and say someone I think might have been fairly recent, and Paul Robinson, hopefully?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Paul Robinson, says Malcolm.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Paul Robinson. The high scorers, still Lucy and Claire on 55.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36If you can score 54 or less, through you go to the next round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37There's your red line.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Let's see if Paul Robinson can get you below it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Is it right, how many people said Paul Robinson?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45It is right, Malcolm.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48You've done it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:5214, very, very well done.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Thank you. - Good for Paul Robinson.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- 14 takes your total up to 14. Richard.- Yeah, well done, Malcolm.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Played 41 times for England, Paul Robinson.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08So then, Nick. You're on 5. The high scorers, Lucy and Claire, are on 55.
0:15:08 > 0:15:1349 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think I'll go for Ray Clemence, somebody from the Seventies.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Ray Clemence, OK. Let's see if Ray Clemence gets you below that red line. Is it right,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23how many people said Ray Clemence?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25It's right.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yep, you've done it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:3217.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- Great score. Takes your total up to 22. Richard.- Very good answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- 61 times, Ray Clemence played for England.- Splendid.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Now, Lucy, I have terrible news. - I know.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51You are already the high scorers and you haven't even submitted
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- your brilliant, pointless answer. - I know.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59However, a brilliant pointless answer at this stage, what a legacy that would be?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- When the children at school... What an example.- I'm so altruistic!
0:16:03 > 0:16:04What an example.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I can imagine all their little eyes now looking up at the screen
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- saying, "She'll get a pointless!" - Oh, brimming with tears, going, "Miss'll get a pointless."
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- They've got their popcorn, their drinks.- They're all holding hands.- "Is this it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19"Is this the moment? Please, Miss, say it is."
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Shall I give my answer anywhere? - Yeah.- OK.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, I'm going to go for Robert Green who didn't do
0:16:27 > 0:16:31a brilliant job in the World Cup but...he was in goal.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Ish!
0:16:32 > 0:16:33LAUGHTER
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Robert Green, OK. Well, let's see.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39There's no red line for you, I'm afraid.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Robert Green, is it right, how many people said it? Robert Green.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Very well done.
0:16:51 > 0:16:5325.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54APPLAUSE
0:16:55 > 0:17:0025, that scores takes your total up to 80. Bad luck. Richard.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well played, good answer, very tough category.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Two actually, especially going first. Played in the 2010 World Cup.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08As you said, let's take a look,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13see some of the pointless answers up there. I suspect some people at home said one of these.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Nigel Spink, the Aston Villa goalie, he had one cap.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Jimmy Rimmer, another Villa goalie, also one cap and Richard Wright,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21the former Arsenal and Ipswich goalie.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24All those were pointless, very well done if you said any.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Let's take a look at the most popular answers, that most of our 100 said.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32David James with 35.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Peter Shilton, of course, 53 and right at the top of the list,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37David Seaman with 55.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I'm so sorry, Lucy and Claire.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- It was a...- The shame!
0:17:45 > 0:17:49No, it's such a shame. Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you but we'll see you again next time,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53we'll look forward to that very much indeed. Brilliant contestants, thank you.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:56 > 0:18:01But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09There's only going to be room for two pairs in the head-to-head obviously.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13One of the teams in front of me will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Our category for round two is...
0:18:17 > 0:18:22American TV. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33OK, so our Round Two question concerns...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38US TV shows and their cities. Richard.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41We're going to show you six US TV shows on each pass.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45We asked 100 people in which cities are these shows predominantly set?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48If you give us a nice, obscure answer you'll score fewer points.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Give us an incorrect answer though, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55There's 12 shows in all, 12 cities to guess. Very best of luck at home.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58OK, so we're looking for cities in which these shows
0:18:58 > 0:19:02are predominantly set and here is our first list.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'll read those one more time.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So we are looking for the cities in which these American shows
0:19:19 > 0:19:22are predominantly set and you're trying to find the one
0:19:22 > 0:19:24that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- Cliff.- I think I'll go safe and...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- we'll go for Frasier, Seattle.- Let's see if Frasier is indeed Seattle.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35If it is, let's see how many said it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It's right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Very well done, 20.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Not a bad score at all.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Richard.- Low answer, that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Kelsey Grammer of course plays a radio therapist in Seattle.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Splendid. Now, Malcolm.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03We're looking for the cities in which these US TV shows are predominantly set.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06My one excellent choice I was going to go for was Frasier
0:20:06 > 0:20:09which has been taken away now so I've got one other one I know.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I imagine it's going to be quite high-scoring but Friends is set in New York.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15OK. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18let's see how many people said Friends, New York.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2447.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26APPLAUSE
0:20:26 > 0:20:3147. Well, that's a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yeah. Again, a very low score. A very popular show
0:20:33 > 0:20:38but sometimes people don't pay attention to where things are set. That's why it's a tricky round.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- The last ever episode of Friends, 60 million people watched it. - Phew.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47So then, Barry H. I tell you what, you're the last person to have this board so you
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- can fill in all the gaps for us... - HE LAUGHS
0:20:49 > 0:20:52..and then pick one to submit.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Well, I turn off the television as soon as any American TV comes on
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- so I haven't got a clue. - Barry, no, don't do that.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02There's so much good stuff. I'll not talk about it in case...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05No, it'd take a lot more convincing than that, I'm afraid.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- Really?- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Anyway, I shall go for ER... - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- ..and I'll guess at Chicago. - ER, Chicago.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Is this a complete stab in the dark? - Complete stab in the dark, yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23It's right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Ha ha ha, can't believe it!
0:21:28 > 0:21:30HE LAUGHS IN SURPRISE
0:21:30 > 0:21:3119.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32APPLAUSE
0:21:32 > 0:21:33I don't believe it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, yeah(!)
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You don't believe it(!)
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Old Barry Box-set over here! Yeah, just the lowest score of the pass!
0:21:43 > 0:21:48That was no guess. That was, "You know what, I wouldn't watch that rubbish, I wouldn't watch it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51"Oh, ER? Chicago, yeah. Gave George Clooney his big break.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55"ER, yeah, Alex Kingston. I don't watch it, I wouldn't watch it."
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yeah, as you well know, Chicago.
0:21:57 > 0:21:5819 points, very well done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I just want to fill some in. They're quite hard. Tales Of The City.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- San Francisco.- That was four points.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Dynasty, one of the most successful shows in history, do you know where that's set?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Who would know it was Denver, Colorado?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It is Denver. Exactly right. Only one person knew that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It would have been a very good answer to give.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Ally McBeal, another popular show, but this is a pointless answer. Ally McBeal?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Boston, I think. - It is in Boston.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Yeah. You wouldn't have risked it, I suspect, if you was your question.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Very well done if you said Boston for Ally McBeal.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Splendid. We are halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37The best score so far, the Barries.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And they are on 19. What a fluke!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Wait for Barry T's answer in the next pass. I can't wait for that.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Then we go up to 20, where Cliff and Nick are,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and then up to 47 for Malcolm and Alison.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54OK, back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59OK, we are going to put six more US TV shows on the board.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And here they are. We have got...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'll read those one more time. Cheers, Perry Mason, Dexter,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12The Wire, Thirtysomething, The West Wing.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We're looking for the cities in which these shows are set.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You're trying to find the one the fewest people knew.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Now Barry T, a brilliant turn from Barry H in the first pass,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25has given you the lowest score. You're on 19.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The high scorers are Alison and Malcolm on 47.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34If you can score 27 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Well, I don't think I can possibly match my partner's answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Yeah.- Yeah. Wait for this!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm going to go for Perry Mason
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and Los Angeles.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Perry Mason, Los Angeles. Let's see if that is right.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54If it is, how many people said it? There is your red line.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Perry Mason, says Barry T, Los Angeles.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It's right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I know, who'd have thought it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11You're through to the next round! Three.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13APPLAUSE
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Wow!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Very well done, Barry T.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24By hook or by crook, that was a great answer. It takes your total up to 22.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And you know it's funny because 'cos I don't even have a television!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Was I saying that right, Per-eye Mass-on?- Is that correct?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Yes.- Yeah, from the '60s, Raymond Burr played Perry Mason.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Very good answer, well done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Now then Alison, you are the highest scorers on 47.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Yeah. I've a feeling a lot of my friends will be quite angry with me if I get this wrong.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49So I am going to go with The Wire and it's set in Baltimore.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Very good. Baltimore for The Wire.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Let's see if you're right. There's no red line obviously,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59because you are the high scorers. Good luck.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It's right!
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Very, very well done! Seven.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It takes your total up to 54.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18The Wire, very good answer. The ultimate US cult drama series.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23I was talking to Barry H, who's never seen it. But he thought season three very much better than a season two!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Now then, Nick, we're looking for cities
0:25:32 > 0:25:35in which these US TV shows are predominantly set.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37The moment of truth. There's a tussle here,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42cos the high scorers are Alison and Malcolm on 54. You're on 20.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You have to score 33 or less if you want to be in the head to head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49What are you thinking? Talk us through the board, Nick.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I think Cheers might be Philadelphia.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But, eh, daren't take the risk.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I don't know Dexter or Thirtysomething.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00So I'm going to say The West Wing and Washington DC.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03West Wing, Washington DC.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06There is your red line. It's quite low.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It's quite low. Let's see, West Wing, Washington DC. Is it right?
0:26:09 > 0:26:14If it is, how many people said it? You have to get below that red line to be in the head to head.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17The very best of luck.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's right.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25You have done it! 25.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Very, very well done, Nick. 25 for The West Wing, Washington DC, take your total to 45.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- You are through to the head to head. - Yeah, well done. Well done tactically as well, just 25 points.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Won 26 Emmys, West Wing. 26 Emmys.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Let's look at the rest of the board. Again, it is a tough board.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46If you'd said Cheers, Philadelphia,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49you would have been knocked out - Cheers is Boston.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It would have scored you 27. Dexter is in Miami.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54That would have scored eight points.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57And Thirtysomething is a pointless answer.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Really tough board. If you'd said Philadelphia for that, it would have been pointless.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Philadelphia. So very well done if you said that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08And very well done anyone who got all 12. Very, very tough round.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Very tough indeed. Thanks very much, Richard, so at the end of round two the losing
0:27:11 > 0:27:14pair with the highest score is Malcolm and Alison.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's a massive shame to be saying goodbye to you so soon.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Brilliant contestants, it's been enormous fun having you on
0:27:21 > 0:27:24the show, and it's our loss but I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you
0:27:24 > 0:27:28but brilliant contestants, Alison and Malcolm, thanks so much for playing. Thank you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32APPLAUSE
0:27:32 > 0:27:35For the remaining two pairs it's about to get even more exciting
0:27:35 > 0:27:38as we enter the head to head.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Very, very well done, Barry H, Barry T, Nick and Cliff,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48you've made it through to the head to head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Now, obviously only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £4,250.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58APPLAUSE
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Now, for each question, each pair needs to give me
0:28:01 > 0:28:04just one answer but you are allowed to confer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less
0:28:07 > 0:28:09than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The first pair to win two questions will win today's jackpot.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Let's play Pointless.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22OK, here is your first question.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:28:26 > 0:28:30European monarchs as they could.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31European monarchs, Richard.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37Yeah, we're looking for the names of any reigning European monarch as of May 2011.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Just need the name,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42and we don't need to know the country just the name of a reigning European monarch.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK, thank you very much.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Now, the Barries, you played best throughout the show so far
0:28:48 > 0:28:51so you get to go first.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53OK, Barries.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Eh, we're going to go for Philip, as in Greece.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02OK, Philip of Greece you are saying.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Nick and Cliff?
0:29:03 > 0:29:09We'll go safe, thinking there's no reigning monarch in Greece
0:29:09 > 0:29:11and we'll go for Queen Elizabeth.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Queen Elizabeth.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16So we have Philip of Greece and we have Queen Elizabeth.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Barry H and Barry T have gone with Philip of Greece, let's see
0:29:19 > 0:29:22if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Bad luck, Barries. Cliff was right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33So, Cliff and Nick, you merely have to be correct to win this point.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35LAUGHTER
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Uh, Queen Elizabeth II, is it right?
0:29:40 > 0:29:4389!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Very good.
0:29:47 > 0:29:4989, well, it was right.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52That was all it had to be which means, after one question,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Nick and Cliff are ahead one-nil.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Richard, 11 people didn't think Queen Elizabeth...
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I suppose you would think European...we'll give 11 people the benefit of the doubt
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- and say they were trying to think of more obscure ones.- Yeah.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07But tactically a smart move there. What would you have gone for?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Prince Rainier, I was thinking.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Ah, would have scored you 100 points.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Our alternative was Beatrix of the Netherlands.- We thought Beatrix too.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That would have done a lot better.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Let's take a look at all the answers. There were a few pointless ones.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Now, Nicolas, it's Nicolas Sarkozy
0:30:23 > 0:30:28who, because he's President of France is also the Co-Prince of Andorra
0:30:28 > 0:30:31along with Joan-Enric Vives, who is the Bishop of Urgell.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Those two are always the Co-Princes of Andorra.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Henri, who is the Grand Duke of Luxembourg,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Hans-Adam from Lichtenstein,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Harald, who is Norway, would have scored you 2,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Carl Gustaf of Sweden, 7.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Margrethe of Denmark would have scored you 9
0:30:46 > 0:30:49and Albert, that's King Albert II of Belgium
0:30:49 > 0:30:51and Prince Albert II of Monaco.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Beatrix would score 20 so would have been a very good answer.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Juan Carlos of Spain, 35,
0:30:56 > 0:30:57and there's Elizabeth on 89.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Thank you very much, Richard.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02So, here is your second question.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Now, the Barries, you need to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Here it comes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:31:11 > 0:31:15days of the week in German as they could.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Richard.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Yes, any of the seven days of the week as they're known in German.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Which is the most obscure of those?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Now then, Nick and Cliff, you go first this time.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25The most obscure?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- (WHISPERS)- Dienstag?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Dienstag.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Dienstag.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37OK, we have Dienstag.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Barry and Barry, what would you like to say?
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Mittwoch.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43So we have Dienstag and we have Mittwoch.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47In the order they've been given,
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Nick and Cliff went for Dienstag. Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Dienstag.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55It's right.
0:31:58 > 0:32:0031!
0:32:00 > 0:32:02APPLAUSE
0:32:06 > 0:32:09And Barry H and Barry T have gone for Mittwoch.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Let's see if Mittwoch is right,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18You have to win this question to stay in the game. Mittwoch.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22It's right.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Yep, it does it! Look at that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28APPLAUSE
0:32:28 > 0:32:2923 for Mittwoch.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Very well done, which means after two questions,
0:32:35 > 0:32:36you are one-all. Richard.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Yeah, well played, the Barries.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Mittwoch means midweek, it is Wednesday
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and Dienstag is Tuesday. Let's look at all seven.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44See if you got all these.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Donnerstag, which is Thursday, would have scored you 20.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Mittwoch, Wednesday, 23.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Samstag, which is Saturday, would have scored you 27.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56They also call it Sonnabend in Northern and Eastern Germany.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Dienstag, which is Tuesday, 31.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Sonntag, which is Sunday, 33.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Freitag, which is Friday, 34
0:33:02 > 0:33:05and Montag, Monday, 48 at the top of the list.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07OK, here is your third question.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:33:10 > 0:33:11and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Oscar-winning Australian actors as they could.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Oscar-winning Australian actors.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any of the six actors
0:33:23 > 0:33:26who were either born in Australia or took up Australian citizenship
0:33:26 > 0:33:29to have won an Oscar in any of the acting categories
0:33:29 > 0:33:32up to and including the 2011 ceremony, please.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36OK, now then, the Barries, you go first this time.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39What's the girl's name...?
0:33:39 > 0:33:40CLIFF WHISPERS
0:33:42 > 0:33:45OK, Barries H and T.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47We'll say Mel Gibson.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Mel Gibson.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Cliff and Nick.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54We'll go for Nicole Kidman.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- You'll say Nicole Kidman?- Yeah.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Barry H and Barry T have said Mel Gibson. Let's see if that's right
0:33:59 > 0:34:02and if it is, how many people said Mel Gibson.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Best of luck. Whoever wins this goes to the final.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Ooh.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Well, for one reason or another,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13that is an incorrect answer.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Richard will furnish us with the details shortly.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Nick and Cliff, once again, all you have to be is correct
0:34:19 > 0:34:21and you are saying Nicole Kidman.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Let's see is that right, and if so, how may people said Nicole Kidman.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Yep! It's right. Very well done.
0:34:31 > 0:34:3358, it scores. But all it had to be was correct.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Which it was. So after three questions,
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Nick and Cliff are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Well done. Richard. - Yeah, it's deja vu there.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Mel Gibson has never won an acting Oscar.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Won a Best Director for Braveheart, but never won an acting Oscar.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Let's take a look at all of the names on the list.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Peter Finch, born in London but later became Australian,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59won for Network. Well done if you said that. 1 point for Peter Finch.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Heath Ledger won posthumously for The Dark Knight,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03would have scored 7 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Cate Blanchett won for The Aviator, scored 8 points.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08She played Katharine Hepburn and won an Oscar,
0:35:08 > 0:35:12the only person ever to win an Oscar for playing an Oscar winner. Cate Blanchett.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Geoffrey Rush won for Shine, would have scored 11 points.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Russell Crowe, who was born in New Zealand
0:35:17 > 0:35:21but took Australian citizenship, 41 points, won for Gladiator.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Nicole Kidman, who was born in Hawaii but took Australian citizenship,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26she won for The Hours, 58 points.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Very well done if you got all six of those.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Thanks, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I'm afraid, is Barry H and Barry T.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You've done phenomenally well right the way through,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41very solid performance, particularly in the American TV round.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Very impressive. Anyway, we will see you again next time
0:35:45 > 0:35:47and I'm sure you'll go even further, but in the meantime
0:35:47 > 0:35:51thank you very much for playing, Barry H and Barry T! Splendid.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53APPLAUSE, CHEERING
0:35:54 > 0:35:58But for Nick and Cliff, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and a chance to win our jackpot of £4,250.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02CHEERING
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Congratulations, Nick and Cliff, you have fought off all the competition
0:36:12 > 0:36:15and you have won our coveted Pointless Trophy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17APPLAUSE
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:22 > 0:36:27and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,250.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:36:30 > 0:36:34The rules are simple. To win that money, you need a pointless answer,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36an answer none of our 100 people thought of.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Now, we have had one pointless answer today.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You only need one more and you will go home with that money.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43First, you'll choose a category
0:36:43 > 0:36:46and you can choose from these three options. And they are...
0:36:46 > 0:36:4820th Century Dramatists,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50World Politics,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Sporting Greats.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Well, I think World Politics is out of the window.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Erm, Dramatists, I think that's a bit obscure, really.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02I think we both know what we're going to go for, don't we?
0:37:02 > 0:37:03No.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05LAUGHTER
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Sporting Greats, I think, Alexander.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Sporting Greats it is. Let's see the question.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:37:13 > 0:37:17as many boxers fought professionally by Muhammad Ali as they could.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Richard.- Any opponents of Muhammad Ali in a professional fight,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23any one of his 61 professional fights, please,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26including when he was known as Cassius Clay. Best of luck.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29You have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:29 > 0:37:32and all you need to win that £4,250
0:37:32 > 0:37:35is for one of those answers to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Do we have to say the first name as well?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Joe Bugner and, erm...
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Henry Cooper.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Leon Spinks.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Sonny Liston.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47There's a guy...was it Norton?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Edward?- No.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51He's an actor. Erm...
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Sonny Liston...
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Rumble in the Jungle.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Joe Frazier, yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It's got to be a bit obscure. Some of the...
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Don't like boxing. Erm...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Come on.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18So what are we going to go for?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Sonny Liston,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23he was a long time ago, nobody will know him.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Course they won't. Sonny Liston...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27What, Leon Spinks?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Five seconds.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Joe Bugner?
0:38:33 > 0:38:34OK, your minute is up.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37We were looking for boxers fought professionally by Muhammad Ali.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I now need your three answers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Let's go for the three we've said. - Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Sonny Liston.- Sonny Liston.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Leon Spinks.- Leon Spinks.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- And Joe Bugner?- Yeah.- Joe Bugner.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Of those three, which do you think is your best shot
0:38:53 > 0:38:54at a pointless answer?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Leon Spinks?- Yeah, perhaps.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- OK.- I don't think any of them will be good enough but yeah,
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- Leon Spinks.- He's your best shot. Leon Spinks we'll put last.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Sonny Liston, I think.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- So we have Sonny Liston, Joe Bugner, Leon Spinks.- Yeah.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Let's put them up on the board in that order. Here they come.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Sonny Liston,
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Joe Bugner,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and Leon Spinks. There they are.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24We were looking for boxers who fought Muhammad Ali professionally.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29They only have to find one pointless answer to win that £4,250 jackpot.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31OK, let's see. Sonny Liston, there he is.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36Let's see how many people said Sonny Liston, and if it's correct.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37OK, it's right.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39That's the first thing it had to be.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42This is where we discover how much our 100 people know
0:39:42 > 0:39:44about Muhammad Ali and his opponents.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Still going down into the teens...
0:39:46 > 0:39:4715!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49APPLAUSE
0:39:49 > 0:39:5015.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55A very good score in normal gameplay.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Sadly, we're only interested in pointless answers at this stage.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01So, obviously, that's not pointless.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You only have two more chances to win that jackpot of £4,250.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07What would you do with £4,250?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Well, I'd take the family to America.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I'd like to take them to Florida or California.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Very good indeed. Cliff, how about you?
0:40:16 > 0:40:17My girlfriend, Louise,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I'd take her for a trip to Australia, perhaps.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Very good. Let's hope one of these two remaining answers
0:40:25 > 0:40:27will see you fulfil those.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Your next answer is Joe Bugner. Let's see if that's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33It has to be right, it has to be pointless
0:40:33 > 0:40:35if you're going to win that jackpot, £4,250.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Is it right? How many people said Joe Bugner?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40It's right.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45This is your second shot at that jackpot, £4,250.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47If this goes all the way down to 0,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49you will be leaving with that money right now.
0:40:49 > 0:40:5013!
0:40:50 > 0:40:53APPLAUSE
0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's going in the right direction.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Everything is now hanging on Leon Spinks.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03If that is right and that is pointless,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06you will leave now with that jackpot.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10It has to be right and pointless. Let's hope nobody said Leon Spinks.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Also a correct answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16We had 15 for Sonny Liston,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19we had 13 for Joe Bugner.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Down it goes, into the teens,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23into single figures!
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Leon Spinks, is it going to...?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Oh!
0:41:26 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Oh-ho-ho! Ooh, that was close.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Four people said Leon Spinks.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:38 > 0:41:41so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43That will roll over to the next show
0:41:43 > 0:41:45but you have been fantastic contestants
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- and you do of course take home our Pointless Trophy. - That's what we came for!
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Quite right, well, very good.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54APPLAUSE
0:41:54 > 0:41:59Unlucky, guys. Three correct answers. He fought Leon Spinks twice, lost the first one, won the second one.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Norton, who you were talking about, is Ken Norton,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05did the same with him, lost then won. Would have scored 3 points.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07There's a bunch of pointless answers
0:42:07 > 0:42:11including Richard Dunn, the British fighter. Jerry Quarry,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13let's take a look at a few more.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Chuck Wepner, he was the guy that Rocky is supposed to be based on,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19a no-hoper who took Ali the distance in 1975.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Alvin "Blue" Lewis,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Trevor Berbick, he beat Ali in Ali's last ever fight,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26was a pointless answer.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Zora Folley, the fight after which Ali lost his world title in the year he refused to go to Vietnam.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Sonny Banks, Don Warner, both of those pointless.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Earnie Shavers, another big name,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Billy Daniels and Lamar Clark, all pointless.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Very, very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Cliff and Nick
0:42:44 > 0:42:49but it's been brilliant. You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:54 > 0:42:57when we will be playing for £5,250.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Join us to see who can win it. Goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
