0:00:20 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE

0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:25 > 0:00:28the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE

0:00:34 > 0:00:39Welcome, Dan and Ciaran. You're our first pair on the show today. How do you know each other?

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Dan's my boss. We both work together for an insurance company

0:00:43 > 0:00:47- in London. I've worked for him for about...five years, I suppose. - Five years.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Is he a good boss, Ciaran? - Do you know, he normally is.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52He takes me out for drinks, buys me breakfast.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- He's really actually excellent.- What department of insurance are you in?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59We do catastrophe modelling, actually.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Catastrophe modelling, I've done a bit of that.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- You're catastrophe modellers?- Yeah. - Wow.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11- That's the best job anyone has ever had.- Ever. Very good. So you

0:01:11 > 0:01:16- basically live in a world of worst-case scenarios?- Afraid so. - Maths, really. It's just maths.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19So when people on the news, they always say, any catastrophe,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22"This is likely to have cost in the region of so-and-so,"

0:01:22 > 0:01:23you come up with that figure?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Along with a lot of other people, but...- Yeah.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28They take all the figures, add them up,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- divide them by the number of you. - Exactly.- Splendid.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35What would be the catastrophe model for this afternoon? What's the worst-case scenario?

0:01:35 > 0:01:39The best scenario is we walk away with some money, worst case is I walk away holding a P45.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43- There you go.- That's what I'd say. - Yes, yeah.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Dan, what would you like to see come up? What'd be a great category?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Considering what we do, geography is always going to be nice.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Although Ciaran's a film buff. I fancy my chances on a bit of film

0:01:53 > 0:01:55but that's a strong category for us as well.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Film, and what kind of films do you like?- Predator.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Quite good.- OK, anything in the Predator camp! Very good.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Maybe that will come up. You never know.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- It's great to have you on the show, very best of luck to you. - Thank you.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Next we welcome Rob and Katie. How do you two know each other?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16We have a shared interest in horror acting

0:02:16 > 0:02:21and we worked at various horror attractions around the country dressing up as disgusting creatures.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- That is just brilliant. You're horror actors?- Yes.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I've done a fair bit of that in my time as well, as it turns out.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31I tell you what, catastrophe modelling seems a bit boring now. HE YAWNS

0:02:31 > 0:02:33LAUGHTER

0:02:33 > 0:02:35What do you specialise in, Rob?

0:02:35 > 0:02:39I specialise in big, gruff Victorian men with cut faces.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Or just a bit of zombie-ing. - Go on, do some zombie-ing!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- You want me to do a zombie?- Yes!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46All right, I'll do it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:47HE GRUNTS

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Something like that, you know.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52APPLAUSE

0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's like looking in a mirror.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's...

0:02:58 > 0:03:03That would really, really scare me. Well, it DID scare me actually. Katie, what do you specialise in?

0:03:03 > 0:03:08My favourite ever was when I was a zombie in a cornfield once.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Wasn't a job, it was just... - Put your hair forwards... It wasn't a job!

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- No, just I fancied it!- Fantastic.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Do you want to demonstrate for us now? Go on, go on.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- OK, I could be a zombie. - It's going to be scary.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23SHE SNORTS AND GNASHES

0:03:25 > 0:03:27That's just brilliant.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29APPLAUSE

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- That's just brilliant. - Do you know what though?

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Generally, statistically, people turn on TV shows all the time,

0:03:37 > 0:03:39there'll be a number of people

0:03:39 > 0:03:43who turned on between you asking her to like a zombie and that happening.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Some will just think, "What the... Oh, it's Pointless,

0:03:46 > 0:03:51"those crazy guys at Pointless!" Oh, dear. That's absolutely fantastic.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Best luck to you. Welcome to the show - great to have you.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57We welcome back Roland and Janice. You were on the show last time.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Everyone gets TWO chances to reach the final.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02This is your second chance. Remind us what happened.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07Well, Janice had got a very good answer which I think scored three points

0:04:07 > 0:04:10so I decided that I wouldn't play safe and I would gamble.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- The question was landlocked islands. - Landlocked countries.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Landlocked countries and I went for Tibet.- Tibet,

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- not a member of the UN. - That's right.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- But that's the gamble I took.- Yeah. - And there we go.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Janice, what would you like to see come up?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28History, I quite like history and books, literature.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31How about any gruesome history of Derbyshire?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- I don't know much, I'll leave that to the experts!- OK, OK, history.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Roland, what about you?- Probably geography.- Geography. Well, very, very best of luck to you.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45- And next we welcome back Miriam and Sallyanne. You were on the show last time.- We were.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Remind us what happened.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Mary Magdalene and the Vatican City did us in.- Oh, didn't they! They conspired.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- And Dan Brown's got a lot to answer for.- He has.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- You were rewriting theology there. - Yes.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01We suddenly had Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper. Well, she WAS there

0:05:01 > 0:05:05but she wasn't in the Da Vinci photograph... Photograph?!

0:05:05 > 0:05:08- LAUGHTER - What? Yes, you didn't know that, did you?

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Yes. What's going to see you get through to the head-to-head

0:05:12 > 0:05:15and beyond, Sallyanne, this afternoon?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19I'd really like a subject to come up on tweets by Richard Osman.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- I follow him on Twitter, you see and I know those ones.- They're good.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26They're worth waiting for, aren't they?

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Osman's tweets. - Oh, with bated breath.- Yes.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34Best of luck, lovely to have you back. We'll find out more through the show.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36There's only one person left to introduce.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38At his village fete he takes charge of

0:05:38 > 0:05:40the "Guess The Weight Of The Helium Atom" Competition.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- He is my pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46APPLAUSE Hiya.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you, Richard.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54What a show we'll have. Two returning pairs. Roland and Janice, very unlucky.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Very good but only saw them for the first round.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Miriam and Sallyanne we saw an awful lot of.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03They lasted all the way through to the head-to-head. They made their presence felt.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08But now we've got the horror actors versus the catastrophe modellers. LAUGHTER

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- That's awesome, isn't it?- Yes. - That's a Predator movie for you.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13It should be a very good show, I think.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- We've got four very good pairs here today.- Splendid.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Thank you, Richard. We've put all our questions to 100 people before the show

0:06:20 > 0:06:23but this is Pointless, so we're after the answers they didn't get.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25To stay in with a chance to win our jackpot,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28all our players need to do is score a few points as they can.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,

0:06:31 > 0:06:32one that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that

0:06:40 > 0:06:43so today's jackpot starts off at £7,500.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45APPLAUSE

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Right, let's play Pointless.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer

0:06:59 > 0:07:02with your partner. Whoever has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07Our category for the first round is...music.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first and second?

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Let's find out what the question is.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- percussion instruments as they could.- All the correct answers in this round will be

0:07:25 > 0:07:30percussion instruments. That's any that can be played by striking with a hand, stick or beater, or shaking.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35- The incorrect answers in this round won't be musical instruments at all. - OK. Now then, Dan and Ciaran.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39You all drew lots before the show and this afternoon you get to go first.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41You'll be delighted to hear in this round

0:07:41 > 0:07:46we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board for each pass.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49The sighs from everyone there! Almost enough to blow me over.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52OK, your first set of seven answers reads like this.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00I'll read there's one more time.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06There we are. I can tell you

0:08:06 > 0:08:09at least one of those answers is pointless

0:08:09 > 0:08:12but be careful because at least one of those is incorrect.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Pick an incorrect one and you will score the maximum of 100 points.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- So then, Ciaran.- Yes. - Percussion instruments.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22Yeah, I'm not a terribly musical individual. I haven't got an awful lot of rhythm

0:08:22 > 0:08:25and I'm not good at playing any instruments.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Who could ask for anything more(?)

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Yeah, and I'm terrified of getting off to a bad start

0:08:31 > 0:08:33so I think I've got something solid.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- OK, very good. Well, use that, Ciaran!- Castanets, please.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- You're going to go for castanets. - Yes, please.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40You're trying to pick obscure answers.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44You're saying castanets, hoping that's the one that the fewest of our 100 people said.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Let's see if it is. Is it right, how many people said castanets?

0:08:48 > 0:08:49It's right.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Very well done, 11.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57APPLAUSE

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- 11 for castanets. Richard. - Yeah, well played, Ciaran.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Most famously used by the Spanish in flamenco music and what-have-you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Thank you very much. Now then, Katie.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Yes.- Katie, is this a good subject for you?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- This isn't my subject of choice. - OK.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21And Ciaran stole my castanets, so I'm quite upset right now.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24There was a couple on there I think are percussion instruments

0:09:24 > 0:09:26and there's a couple of obscure ones

0:09:26 > 0:09:28and I'm going to go for an obscure one, I think.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I might say claves.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Claves.- Claves.- At the top there.

0:09:34 > 0:09:39Let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said claves. Good luck.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's right.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Very well done indeed, Katie. Down it goes. Still going down.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yes! Very well done.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:52 > 0:09:54That adds £250 to today's jackpot,

0:09:54 > 0:09:58takes the total up to £7750.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Best of all, it scores you nothing, Katie. Very well done. Richard.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yes, well played, Katie. Great start to the game.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Claves are two cylindrical sticks. They come from Cuba.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Cuban in origin.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12You play them with cupped hands to make the noise.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Roland, we come to you. Roland, percussion instruments.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19I know some of them, but I'm also torn whether to gamble or not,

0:10:19 > 0:10:24because I know one of the words is in a song called Sway.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29Actually, I don't know whether it's a percussion instrument,

0:10:29 > 0:10:33so I'm going to play safe and I'm going to go with tambourine.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35There we are. You're going with tambourine.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Very well done. That sounds like a cracking answer to me.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42It is right.

0:10:45 > 0:10:4743.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48APPLAUSE

0:10:48 > 0:10:52It's not a bad answer, but it's quite a high score. Richard.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Yes, pretty high score. It's of Middle Eastern origin.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Now then, Miriam,

0:10:59 > 0:11:02you're the last person to have this board, Miriam,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05so take us through everything and fill in the missing bits.

0:11:05 > 0:11:11Well, I know the miriba... that one, I know it's in that song,

0:11:11 > 0:11:14but I don't know whether it's the rhythm or an instrument

0:11:14 > 0:11:18and I have a funny feeling the vibraphone

0:11:18 > 0:11:22is what we used to have the toilet paper and the comb and goes...

0:11:22 > 0:11:24MAKES BUZZING NOISE

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- Vibraphone.- Vibraphone. OK, vibraphone, says Miriam.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33You changed your mind about what it was.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35You thought it was the comb, now you think it's percussion.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38OK, let's see, is it right? How many people said it?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- It's going to go red. - LAUGHS

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Yes, it's right. - You're joking.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Very, very well done indeed.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55APPLAUSE

0:11:55 > 0:11:59That scores Miriam only one point. Richard.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yes, also known as the vibes, first started as a jazz instrument.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05It's metal tubes you hit with a padded hammer.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09This is actually very similar to the marimba, the marimba rhythms,

0:12:09 > 0:12:15which is in Sway but is also an instrument. If you'd said that, you would've scored two points.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Let's go through the rest of the board. Drum obviously is a correct answer.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Would've scored you a very hefty 74, so well avoided.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24And Matzerath, by process of elimination,

0:12:24 > 0:12:26that's the incorrect answer up there.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31- That's the name of the family in The Tin Drum, Matzerath. - Thanks, Richard.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Katie and Rob looking fantastic there.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Lovely score of nothing. Brilliant answer, the claves.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Then we go up to one,

0:12:41 > 0:12:45where Miriam and Sallyanne are, looking very strong indeed,

0:12:45 > 0:12:48up to 11, where Ciaran and Dan currently reside, and then,

0:12:48 > 0:12:53we go up quite a long way to 43, where we find Roland and Janice.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Janice, you have a mountain to climb on the next pass.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58We're going to come back down the line.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:13:01 > 0:13:06OK, we're going to put seven more names on the board and here they are...

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I'll read those all one more time...

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Again, I can tell you at least one answer is pointless

0:13:25 > 0:13:27and at least one of those answers is incorrect,

0:13:27 > 0:13:30so try and avoid those incorrect answers if you possibly can.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Remember, we are looking for percussion instruments. Sallyanne?

0:13:35 > 0:13:41I'm going to play it relatively safe and I'm going to say timpani,

0:13:41 > 0:13:47because I think, if I'm right, I think they're a type of drum.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Here's your red line. Below that, you're through to the next round.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Let's see if timpani's right and how many people said it.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58It's right.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well done, you've done it, you're through.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05Wow. Seven.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06APPLAUSE

0:14:06 > 0:14:09That scores you seven and takes your total up to eight.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Very well done, Sallyanne.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well played, Sallyanne. They're European kettledrums.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Very useful in an orchestra because they're all set to a different pitch.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23- Now then, Janice, you're on 43. You are the high scorers.- Yes.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- Um, I only know three for certain. - Yes.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29But I'm going to have to gamble.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm going to go for tabor.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Tabor.- I think it's a kind of drum.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38What do you think, Roland?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'll agree with Janice.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43FAINT LAUGHTER

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Very politic. OK, tabor.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Let's see how many people said tabor. Good luck, Janice.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52There's no red line for you because you're the high scorers.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's correct.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Down it comes.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Tabor...

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Very well done, Janice! - APPLAUSE

0:15:02 > 0:15:06That's a pointless answer. It adds another £250 to today's jackpot,

0:15:06 > 0:15:10takes the total up to £8,000, it scores you nothing.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12It leaves your total at 43.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Is that going to be enough to save your bacon? I wonder.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Let's find out. Richard.- Very well played, Janice. It's a small drum,

0:15:18 > 0:15:22usually played with a pipe in folk music. It's from mediaeval times,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25but they still use it today in folk bands and what-have-you.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28We're looking for percussion instruments.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Now then, Rob, you are currently on nothing.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Janice and Roland are still the high scorers on 43.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38If you score 42 or less, you're through to the next round.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- What do you think about this board? - There's two fairly obvious ones up there.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Yes.- I'm torn between going for one of them,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47but they might be worth more than what we need.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50And I might take a risk with dermatome.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Dermatome.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Because it sounds quite rhythmical.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- It sounds good or it's something you have to apply morning and night. - Yes.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06I said to the face, it might go anywhere. Who knows? There's your red line.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Is it right and if it is, how many people said dermatome?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Very best of luck.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Oh no!

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Bad luck, Rob. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:16:23 > 0:16:25which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:16:25 > 0:16:30I had such a good feeling about that. That takes your total up to 100. Richard.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Yes, sorry, Rob. It is an instrument,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37but it's a medical instrument. It's a cutting tool for cutting skin.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Dan.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Hello.- The high scorers are Rob and Katie on 100. You are on 11.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48If you can score 88 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:16:48 > 0:16:53As we might say, what's the worst that could happen, Dan?

0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's depends on... triangle is going to be too high.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Two of them on there, I don't know.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Tabla? I think I'm going to have to try and play cymbals

0:17:03 > 0:17:06and hope it's less than the magic number.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10OK, you're going to go for cymbals. Cymbals, there they are.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16There's your red line, nice and high.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Is it right? How many people said it?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's right. Yes, you've done it.

0:17:24 > 0:17:2954. Very well done, 54 for cymbals. It takes your total up to 65.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Richard.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34That's using all the skills of a catastrophe modeller.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38You worked out the worst-case scenario, that it was still OK and went for it.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Let's look at the rest of the board.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Triangle obviously is a percussion instrument, would've scored 37.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Of those other two, Alexander,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48what do you think? One of those is incorrect.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51A tabla is definitely an instrument.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yes, it's a small Indian hand drum, the tabla.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Gerber, do you think that's pointless or incorrect?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I think it's incorrect. - It is, yes.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Gerber is the company that makes Um Bongo.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Thank you very much. At the end of Round One,

0:18:05 > 0:18:09the losing pair with the highest score is Rob and Katie.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Aw!

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, dear, dear, dear! I tell you what, though,

0:18:12 > 0:18:15that is the spirit of Pointless right there.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18You scored a pointless answer in the first pass.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Rob, you were trying very hard. Dermatome, for my money,

0:18:21 > 0:18:25was a shoo-in as a pointless rhythm instrument.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Anyway, we have to say goodbye to you, which is a shame.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30But we will see you again next time.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Rob and Katie, excellent contestants, thanks very much.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38For the remaining pairs, it's time for round two.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,

0:18:47 > 0:18:51so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Our Round Two category is Cinema.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Can you decide who's going to go first and second?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10OK, our question concerns film duos and their films.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13We're going to show you six pairs of actors in each pass.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16We asked 100 people to tell us the name of the film in which that pair

0:19:16 > 0:19:18played the title characters.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21So for example, if it said Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke,

0:19:21 > 0:19:23that would be Kevin And Perry Go Large.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Give us an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Give us an incorrect answer and you'll score 100 points.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32There are 12 pairs of actors, 12 films to guess.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35OK. Thank you very much. We are looking for the names of the films

0:19:35 > 0:19:38in which these actors play the title roles.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39And we have got...

0:19:53 > 0:19:57There we are. I'll read them one more time.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12There we have them. Dan, how does that board look to you?

0:20:12 > 0:20:18- Not the best.- OK. Remember, we are looking for the films in which

0:20:18 > 0:20:21these pairs of actors played the lead characters,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24the title characters of the film.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Then, I think I've only really got one.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Newman and Redford in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Is it right,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it?

0:20:39 > 0:20:40It's right.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Wow, 20.- I'll take that.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49APPLAUSE

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yeah, I'd take that. Not bad. 20 for Butch Cassidy.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Good answer. It's a tough board. From 1969, won four Oscars.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00There's lots of bicycle stunts in the film.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04Paul Newman had to do the bicycle stunts because his stuntman couldn't ride a bike.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Very good at jumping off cliffs and so on,

0:21:09 > 0:21:10but not so hot on the old bike.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Wow.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Roland, I fancy you might be quite good at this.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18- It's not my subject, really.- Really?

0:21:18 > 0:21:19But I'm going to play safe

0:21:19 > 0:21:23and I hope that it's the right answer, and I'm going to go for

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in Bonnie And Clyde.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Bonnie And Clyde, says Roland.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Is it right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer?

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Bonnie And Clyde.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yes! It's right.

0:21:38 > 0:21:4024 for Butch Cassidy.

0:21:40 > 0:21:4219 for Bonnie and Clyde!

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Very good. Richard? - Yes, well done, Roland.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50They played Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, of course, from 1967.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Good answer.- Thanks very much. We're looking for the films

0:21:54 > 0:21:57in which these pairs of actors play the title characters.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Now, Miriam, I think this will be very good for you.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03You must be very good at this. Really?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I know the names, but I can't put the films to them.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10The only one I've got an idea, probably wrong,

0:22:10 > 0:22:11but I've got an idea,

0:22:11 > 0:22:17I think Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, I think they did The Beach.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20The Beach. Let's see if that's right,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26- No, I didn't think so.- Bad luck.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29That's an incorrect answer, which means you score 100 points.

0:22:29 > 0:22:30Sorry. Richard?

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Yes, sorry, Miriam.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34We're looking for films in which they play the TITLE characters.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Oh, of course!- I know the answer.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's a really tough board, I think.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes is the biggest scorer.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43It's Romeo And Juliet,

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Baz Luhrmann's 1996 version. Would have scored 45.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, do you know that on? It's a recent film.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Julie And Julia. Would have scored you ten points.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have been in lots of films together,

0:22:55 > 0:22:59- but one where they play the title characters...- Starsky And Hutch.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Absolutely right, would have scored 13.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb. Early Gary Oldman film.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Sid And Nancy. - Sid And Nancy, exactly.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Would have scored three points. Well done if you said that.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14OK, let's look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.

0:23:14 > 0:23:1819, Roland and Janice, the best score of the pass.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Then we go up to 20, Dan and Ciaran.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22And then we go way up to 100,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25where I am afraid Miriam and Sallyanne are sitting.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Sallyanne, you're going to have to find

0:23:28 > 0:23:30a really obscure answer on the next pass

0:23:30 > 0:23:33and hope that's enough to see you through to the head-to-head.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Six more answers on the board. Here we go. We have got...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'll read those one more time.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12We are looking for the films in which

0:24:12 > 0:24:15these pairs of actors play the title characters.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Sallyanne, you're the high scorers on 100 by quite a margin.- Yes.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26So I'm hoping that somewhere on that board, you have found

0:24:26 > 0:24:29a really obscure pairing and you know the title characters.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34I've got two options. I either try and get a really, really low score,

0:24:34 > 0:24:38or I play safe and hope someone else goes wrong.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Ooh! Yes! Now, what were they called?

0:24:40 > 0:24:47Yes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino - Frankie And Johnny.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Frankie And Johnny, Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55You're the high scorers, so there's no red line.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58You just have to hope it's a low score.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Frankie And Johnny.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02It's right.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's right. Down it goes. It's a great answer.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Look at that!

0:25:09 > 0:25:10SHE SCREAMS

0:25:16 > 0:25:19That scores you one. It takes your total up to 101.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Is it enough to keep you in the game?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Very well played, Sallyanne. From 1991.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27There's a scene where Al Pacino has to act surprised.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31They were filming one of the Star Trek movies nearby,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34so the director arranged so that when he opened the door,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Kirk and Spock were standing there.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Quite good, isn't it? That's the story.- Very good.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Now, then, Janice.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45You are on 19. The high scorers

0:25:45 > 0:25:48are Sallyanne and Miriam on 101,

0:25:48 > 0:25:50which means if you score 81 or less,

0:25:50 > 0:25:53you're through to the next round.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57I knew three on the first board, and I only know one on this one.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02So I'm going to go with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep,

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Kramer Vs Kramer.- Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Kramer Vs Kramer,

0:26:05 > 0:26:09There's your red line. If you can get below that red line,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11you are in the head-to-head.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Let's see if Kramer Vs Kramer is right for

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18It is right

0:26:18 > 0:26:20and you are through to the next round. Well done.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28That's a great answer and a great score.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Takes your total up to 33.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well played. Another very good answer.

0:26:32 > 0:26:38- They both won Oscars for that film, from 1979.- Very good.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Now then, Ciaran, we come to you.- Yes.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43You're the last person to have this board, so you can mop up.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Now, the high scorers are Sallyanne and Miriam on 101.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48You're on 20. If you can score

0:26:48 > 0:26:5080 or less, you are in the head-to-head.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- OK.- You said Film was a good category for you.- It is.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57I'm pretty happy with that board, but I suppose it comes down to

0:26:57 > 0:27:00whether or not it's going to be less than I need.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03They're all quite popular, the ones that are left.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08So I'm going to go for the Sly and Kurt Russell, Tango And Cash.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Tango And Cash, Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13There's your red line.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Is it right, and if it is, how many people said Tango And Cash?

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Yes, it's right.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23You are through to the next round. Well done.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30Oh, it's a brilliant answer! Seven points.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Takes your total up to 27.

0:27:32 > 0:27:38- Richard?- Really well played, Ciaran. Your job is safe for another round.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40From 1989, that film.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44If that had scored you 82 points, you'd have been gutted.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Batman And Robin.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Do you know that? Slightly trickier. - I don't know that one.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05That's Romy And Michelle's High School Reunion.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Well done if you said that one. Ten points.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Best answer on the board is Frankie and Johnny.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Thanks very much, Richard.

0:28:10 > 0:28:15At the end of Round Two, the losing pair, Miriam and Sallyanne.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19- And you got the best answer on the board!- I know!

0:28:19 > 0:28:21That came at the last moment, didn't it?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24You went through to the head-to-head last time.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26- Very narrowly beaten, actually. - I know.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29You could have easily been through to the final.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35A great shame, and our loss. It's been lovely having you on the show.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Brilliant contestants, thanks for playing.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Things are about to get more exciting

0:28:42 > 0:28:44as we enter the head-to-head.

0:28:51 > 0:28:52Very well done. Roland and Janice,

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Dan and Ciaran, you've made it to the head-to-head.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59Only one pair can make it through to the final

0:28:59 > 0:29:02and play for the jackpot which stands at £8,000.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,

0:29:10 > 0:29:14but you are now allowed to confer. You have to come up with an answer

0:29:14 > 0:29:17that scores less than the other pair and you will win that question.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19The first pair to win two questions

0:29:19 > 0:29:21will be playing for the jackpot. Les's play Pointless.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Here is your first question.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Olympic host cities

0:29:34 > 0:29:37beginning with L has they could.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38Olympic host cities beginning with L.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43We're looking for any city which has hosted a Summer or Winter Olympics

0:29:43 > 0:29:47right from the first Olympics of 1896 up to and including 2010, please.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51Roland and Janice, you've played best throughout so far,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53so you get to go first.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55THEY CONFER

0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Lillehammer.- Lillehammer. Very good.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Roland and Janice say Lillehammer.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Dan and Ciaran, if you need to confer any more,

0:30:04 > 0:30:05you can do it out loud.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Yeah, I think...

0:30:07 > 0:30:09We were thinking about Lillehammer, obviously.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12There's a few others - Los Angeles, London.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- But we're going to go for Lisbon.- Lisbon.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17So, we have Lillehammer and we have Lisbon.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Roland and Janice said Lillehammer - is it right,

0:30:20 > 0:30:22and if it is, how many people said it?

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Very well done. It's right.

0:30:29 > 0:30:320h, it's a brilliant answer! Very well said, Roland.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38Lillehammer scores you just eight.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Dan and Ciaran, you're going for Lisbon. Let's see if that's right,

0:30:41 > 0:30:44and it is, how many people said Lisbon?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Bad luck! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Which means, after one question, Roland and Janice are ahead 1-0.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Well played. 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01One answer would have beaten it, another Winter Olympics venue -

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Lake Placid would have scored seven points.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Hosted two Winter Olympics there.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Lillehammer with eight,

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Los Angeles, 36, and London 72.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12Thank you. Here is your second question.

0:31:12 > 0:31:16Dan and Ciaran, you have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:31:20 > 0:31:23fire and water signs of the zodiac as they could.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Fire and water signs of the zodiac.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29We're looking for up any star sign of the Western zodiac

0:31:29 > 0:31:31characterised as a fire sign or a water sign.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- There are six possible answers. - OK, thanks very much.

0:31:34 > 0:31:41- Dan and Ciaran, you go first.- We are not really zodiac people, really.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44- But I don't know, Sagittarius? - Oh, but you are!

0:31:44 > 0:31:45Oh! Are we, though?

0:31:45 > 0:31:49I think I'm going to say Sagittarius as a fire one.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52OK. Sagittarius, you're saying. Roland and Janice?

0:31:52 > 0:31:56THEY CONFER

0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Pisces.- Pisces. So we have Sagittarius and we have Pisces.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Dan and Ciaran, you have to hope that that wins,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06because if it doesn't, we say goodbye to you.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Sagittarius. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:32:10 > 0:32:11Come on!

0:32:11 > 0:32:12It's right.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Down it goes.

0:32:16 > 0:32:1919! Very well done.

0:32:20 > 0:32:2219 for Sagittarius.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Roland and Janice, you have gone for Pisces.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29If you win this question, you are through to the final.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Pisces. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Well done, it's right.

0:32:37 > 0:32:3961, very high.

0:32:41 > 0:32:42Well done, Dan and Ciaran.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45- After two questions, it's 1-1. Richard?- Well played.

0:32:45 > 0:32:49Sagittarius, a fire sign, Pisces, a water sign.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Sagittarius is the best answer. Couldn't have beaten it.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Let's take a look. Sagittarius, 19, a fire sign.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55Scorpio, that's a water sign, 24.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Aries, fire, 27.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Leo, fire, 34. And the top two are both water signs.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02Cancer, 35,

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Pisces right at the top on 61. Very good head-to-head.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Very good. Very close indeed.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11Here is your third and final question.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Who ever wins this question goes through to the final

0:33:14 > 0:33:16and plays for that massive jackpot.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:33:20 > 0:33:24US states on the historic route Route 66 as they could.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27We're looking for any of the eight US states

0:33:27 > 0:33:30through which you travel if you drove the historic Route 66.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34OK, Roland and Janice, you go first this time.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38- It's not one I know.- Arizona.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Arizona - say Roland and Janice.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44Dan and Ciaran, if you need to chat any more you can do it out loud.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48I think we're all right. I think we know where it starts.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Um, I'm pretty sure it starts in Illinois.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53So I'm going to go for that.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Illinois. OK, we have Arizona and we have Illinois.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00Whoever wins this goes through to the final.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Roland and Janice said Arizona. Let's see if that's right. If it is,

0:34:03 > 0:34:05let's see how many people said Arizona.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08It's right.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Down it goes.

0:34:12 > 0:34:1521. 21 for Arizona.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19Very, very exciting.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21Is that going to be enough?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Illinois - Dan and Ciaran.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25You think this is right?

0:34:25 > 0:34:29Well, I was until that happened. I was surer, yeah.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- If it is right, it could be good enough to beat the 21?- I think so.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37- If it's right. - Very, very, very best of luck.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42Illinois - is that right? And if it is, how many people said it?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46It is right!

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Will it go lower than 21?

0:34:50 > 0:34:55Yes, it does! Very well done - 9.

0:34:55 > 0:34:579 for Illinois. Which means after two questions,

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Dan and Ciaran are through to the final. 2-1. Richard?

0:35:01 > 0:35:07Well played both teams. Terrific head-to-head. Let's look at all 8 states.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Oklahoma was the best answer, 3. New Mexico, 4.

0:35:10 > 0:35:11Missouri and Kansas, both 7.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15There is Illinois, 9. Texas, 18.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Arizona 21. And California 47.

0:35:18 > 0:35:23One of our hundred people thought it went through Yorkshire. LAUGHTER

0:35:25 > 0:35:26Which it doesn't.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Thanks very much, Richard.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, it's Roland and Janice.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36Bad luck. That was a very hard-fought head-to-head there.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Round One last time.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40This time storming through to the head-to-head

0:35:40 > 0:35:42and very, very close it was.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45A great shame we have to say goodbye to you now.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Thank you very much for playing, Roland and Janice.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48Great contestants.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:35:50 > 0:35:53But for Dan and Ciaran it's time for our Pointless final

0:35:53 > 0:35:56and the chance to win our jackpot of £8000.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Congratulations, Dan and Ciaran.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08You've fought off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy,

0:36:08 > 0:36:10so very well done.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:14 > 0:36:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £8 000.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:26 > 0:36:30The rules are simple - to win that money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32That's an answer none of our 100 people though of.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36Now we've had two pointless answers on the show today.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40You only have to find one more and you will go home with that money.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42Firstly, you have to choose a category.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44You can choose from these three options -

0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Oh!- First impression, not famous foodies.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57No, famous foodies I can't do. You're good at your literature.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Yeah, but you spend your life watching pop videos.- I do.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04But then, you know, I'd back myself on that.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06I'd back you on the top one.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09No, let's go for that. That could be so fast.

0:37:09 > 0:37:10You reckon?

0:37:10 > 0:37:14There are a lot of people in the US listening to a lot of music.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- No, let's go there.- OK, fine. We will go for US pop stars.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20OK, US pop stars. Let's find out what the question is.

0:37:20 > 0:37:24We give 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:37:24 > 0:37:26Prince top 40 singles as they could.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Prince top 40 singles. Richard?

0:37:29 > 0:37:33We are looking for any single released by Prince or which has him as a named featured artist

0:37:33 > 0:37:38which has reached the UK top 40 prior to April 2011, please.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44All you need to win that £8,000

0:37:44 > 0:37:47is for one of those answers to be Pointless.

0:37:47 > 0:37:48Your 60 seconds starts now.

0:37:48 > 0:37:49So, have you got any?

0:37:49 > 0:37:53I hate him, I haven't got a single one. Purple Rain, that's it.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Party Like It's 1999. None of these are going to be Pointless.- No.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- We are in trouble. - I haven't got a single one, mate.

0:38:01 > 0:38:07- I don't like Prince. No one likes Prince.- Prince likes Prince.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09- OK.- Honestly, I've got nothing.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13He had that album that he gave away, which someone gave me.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17Didn't he have one quite recently? There must have something on that.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Surely there is something on that did well.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21Mate, I've got nothing.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Sorry, pal.- That's all right.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Damn, £8,000.- Yeah.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Yeah, I've got Purple Rain which everyone knows.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32That's all I've got. I've not even got three.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34No, that's bad.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39Has he...like, duetted on anything?

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Yeah, probably. No, we're in trouble.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Five seconds remaining.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Sorry, I think...- We're done.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50OK, that is your minute up. There it is.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53We were looking for Prince UK top 40 hits.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55I now need three answers from you.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57- What did you have?- Purple Rain.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59- And?- Party Like It's 1999.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Yeah, and I can't even think of anything else he's done.

0:39:03 > 0:39:08OK, Purple Rain, 1999 and let's have a third answer.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Get In My Car.

0:39:10 > 0:39:11Get In My Car.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Oh, yeah, I know that one. It's good. It's catchy.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Get In My Car.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19OK, here we go. What of those three,

0:39:19 > 0:39:22which one is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Get In My Car.

0:39:24 > 0:39:25OK, we'll put that last.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Which is your least likely?

0:39:28 > 0:39:29Purple Rain.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31OK, let's put them up on the board in that order.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33And here they are.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45We are looking for Prince UK top 40 singles.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47You said this was your least confident answer.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Let's see how many people said Purple Rain.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53This is your first shot at the jackpot.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54Well, it's right.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58You never know, our 100 people may not know anything about Prince.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Oh!

0:40:00 > 0:40:02- 61.- 61.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05All right, they know something about Prince.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07But that's not a pointless answer.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:40:09 > 0:40:16Let's just say Get In My Car or 1999 were pointless,

0:40:16 > 0:40:19what would you spend eight grand on?

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- I think I would have to... - A Prince album, probably.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27- It would be my first purchase. - A sort of penance, you mean?- Yes.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31- The whole back catalogue. - The whole back catalogue, all of it.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34OK, let's hope nobody said your next answer which is 1999.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37Maybe it'll go down to pointless.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40It has to if you're going to win that jackpot of £8,000.

0:40:40 > 0:40:431999 - how many people said it? Is it right?

0:40:43 > 0:40:47It is right. Let's see if we can break the first hurdle which is 61.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51Yes! Down it goes. Into 40s, into 30s... 34!

0:40:51 > 0:40:53AUDIENCE GROANS

0:40:53 > 0:40:55I thought it would be a lot higher.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56Well, that's better.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59That's much better.

0:40:59 > 0:41:04You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. If it is not a pointless answer.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Listen, it is the sort of song he might have written - Get In My Car.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11Let's see. This for the jackpot of £8,000.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12Is that right?

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Ooh-hh!

0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE

0:41:23 > 0:41:28Well, unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31You don't win today's £8,000 jackpot, which rolls over to the next show.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35But you've been brilliant contestants and you take home our Pointless trophy.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Richard?- Yeah, unlucky, guys.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Prince top 40 singles. Get In My Car is not by Prince.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46It's by David Hasselhoff.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50More importantly it wasn't called that, it was called Jump In My Car.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52It was a top 40 hit. One out of three is not bad.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Xander, you're a big Prince fan. - I am genuinely a Prince fan.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Really?- Yeah.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01- Having a crack at a Pointless answer?- I think so. Diamonds And Pearls.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Er, nope. That would have scored you 7.- Gett Off.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Gett Off would have scored you 4.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07I Can Never Take The Place Of Your Man.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11If you'd said I Can Never Take The Place Of Your Man,

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Pointless answer.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15There you go - Sign Of The Times!

0:42:15 > 0:42:17APPLAUSE

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Very well done.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Let's take a look at a few more of the pointless answers.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Glam Slam from the Lovesexy album.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Anotherloverholeinyourhead - that was a pointless answer.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30Batdance, which was a US number one. Betcha By Golly Wow

0:42:30 > 0:42:34which he released as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Controversy, Dinner With Dolores - both pointless.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41Eye Hate U. Girls And Boys. And 7 - all Pointless answers.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45Well done if you got any of those or if you got I Could Never Take the Place Of Your Man.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- A very good answer.- Splendid. It was.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Dan and Ciaran.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54It has been brilliant having you on. Thank you both for being great contestants.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Nobody has won our jackpot today sow it rolls over,

0:42:59 > 0:43:02which means on the next show, we will be playing for £9,000.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
