0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30where we put obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet our players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Now first, we welcome back Rob and Katie. You were on the show last time.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We give everyone two chances to reach the final,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43this is your last chance. Now, remind us what happened?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46We did OK, Katie got a pointless answer first,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50then I took a risk for the second and it didn't pay off, we got booted off.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm back for a second crack of the whip.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We're coming back with a vengeance!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Now, we discovered last time that you're scare actors?- We are.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Scare actors, explain what that means.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05We work at a horror-related London attraction, and we basically are horror actors,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08performing as zombies, as the un-dead...
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- Historical figures.- How amazing. What are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon, Katie?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15A bit of everything, I think.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I think I just need to be lucky with what questions I get. Pot luck.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21A little bit of history, a little bit of...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24maybe something theatre-related would be nice.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Rob, what would be great for you? - Football is my strongest category,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I've got an encyclopaedic knowledge of football.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- We didn't put that to the test last time.- I know!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But I'm good with history, because the job we perform,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41we learn about the gory history of the country, of London.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So any history that isn't gory, not going to be so strong?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- A nice bit of blood!- Luckily, most history is gory! Phew!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Lovely to have you back, best of luck.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51And next, we welcome Rob and Simon.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now, how do you two know each other? I think I might have an idea!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Yeah, we shared a womb for a bit! AUDIENCE:- Aw!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You wombed?!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We wombed, yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- We're twin brothers. - We were womb-mates!- Oh!- Exactly!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08There you go! That'll do!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12No, we're best friends, we like all the same stuff.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- It's sickening, really.- Absolutely sickening! What do you do, Simon?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'm a student in London, currently studying for a degree in French.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- French. What year are you in? - Second year.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- So next year you go off to France? - I'm out of the country, going to miss my home comforts.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29What are you going to do, Rob?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I'll be beside myself!- Well, you are beside yourself, in fact!
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Yeah!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Rob, you're a student as well, are you?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I study English at Trinity College, Cambridge,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43which I believe you were a former student of?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Yeah, that's exactly my faculty, my college. In fact, your college too.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Yes.- I'm kind of like a younger version of you!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- You...- Much younger.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah, all right! Steady now!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Easy! - AUDIENCE LAUGH
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- We were womb-mates there, weren't we?!- Yes!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So, Rob, what's going to be a great category for you?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Movies, literature, music, football, occasionally.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Yeah, I think one of our strongest points is probably reality TV.- Good.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And anything to do with celebrity gossip.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We're not looking forward to any questions about politics,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- or soap operas. - Soap operas or politics.- Yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Two very similar things!- OK!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Well, best of luck to you. It's great to have you here.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Next, we have Hannah and Rae. How do you know each other?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Hannah is my absolutely wonderful daughter,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33she's been my daughter for 21 years.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Ah, wonderful. - Rae is my embarrassing mother! THEY LAUGH
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Ah, splendid. Where have you come from, Hannah?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I've come from Lancaster. - You're both from Lancaster, I'm assuming?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- You're still living at home? - No, my mum's from Nottingham.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- I'm at uni in Lancaster.- Oh, I see. Right you are. What year are you in?
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- I'm in my final year. - Final year, wow. And you come here!
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Shouldn't you be working now? - Probably, yeah!- Yes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Rae, What are your hobbies?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I love photography, but my main passion is animals.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- I have a small zoo at home! - How many things have you got?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Well, I've got eight cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12But if I could, I'd have more!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Just the one bearded dragon? - Yeah, for now! At the moment.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- That's a sort of lizard, is it? - Yes.- Oh, right. Good. Phew!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well, best of luck to you. Great to have you here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And finally, we've got Tony and Sylvia.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- How do you two know each other? - Well...- Go on!- We're married.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- For 40 years.- 40 years! Many congratulations, that is good.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- APPLAUSE - That is very good.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Very well done.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Now, what do you do, Tony?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, I retired two years ago and since then,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I've actually been involved in local politics.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50And I happen to know, I just happen to know,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53you are the Right Worshipful Mayor of Lutterworth.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I was elected Mayor of Lutterworth two weeks ago, yes.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Oh, that's wonderful!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So, Tony, is it you I need to talk to about my bins?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Yes. Weekly or fortnightly?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Well, I would rather have it weekly. - I think that's the prevalent mood at the moment,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09so it could well be happening.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Yeah, well... - I'm glad I voted for you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14THEY LAUGH
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Very good. And Sylvia, what do you do?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18You're the consort to the mayor now.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Yes, but I'm also retired. I also retired two years ago.- Very good.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26So I spend my time at the moment...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm into ornithology,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'm a member of the British Trust for Ornithology,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33so I count my garden birds every week
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- and send off my results every quarter.- Very good.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42The best of luck to you. Lovely to have you here. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Superman can bend iron with his bare hands, this man can tell you its molar mass.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54APPLAUSE
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Hello there.- Hello there, Richard. How are you?- Really well. How are you?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Very well indeed. - A very open field today,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06we only have one returning pair, Rob and Katie. They went out in the first round
0:06:06 > 0:06:07so we didn't see much of them.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- They were pretty good, they were unlucky, I think.- Yes, very unlucky.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I think they would be favourites, but a very open field.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Of the many specialities people have had
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and questions you've asked for, not a single one of them
0:06:19 > 0:06:22is going to be on today's show, you'll be delighted to hear.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27That's how we like it! Now, we've put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but this is Pointless, so we're after the answers they didn't get.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35To stay in the game, our players need to score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51So today's jackpot starts off at £9,000.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:07:06 > 0:07:11and you cannot confer. The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Anyone who gives an incorrect answer will score the maximum of 100 points, so avoid those.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Our first category this afternoon is Nationalities.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34OK, let's find out what the first question is.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many nationalities
0:07:38 > 0:07:40ending in '...ian' as they could.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Richard.- We're looking for any country whose inhabitants are known in English by a word
0:07:44 > 0:07:49ending '...ian' according to the Oxford English dictionary, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Rob and Katie, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I think I have an answer and it's going be Norwegian because...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Sounded like you were going to say something else! Because?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Because when I saw that I thought, "Nationalities ending in '...inian'"
0:08:09 > 0:08:13and then I thought Norwegian is slightly different!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- So I'm going to go for that. - Slightly different's good.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You know what I mean. - I know what you mean.- I think I do.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22You want to score as few points as possible with Norwegian. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26and if it is, let's see how many people said Norwegian.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27It's right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Still going down...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Look at that, 17. Well done. Very good.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35- That's all right!- Yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- 17 for Norwegian. Richard. - Very well played, Katie.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Norwegian is what we call people from Norway.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47You'll find a lot of my facts in this round are taking on a similar bent.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I can't wait for all of them(!)
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Now then, Rob.- Hello.- Rob.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I think I'm going to take a bit of a risk here.- Mm-hmm. Good.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's the name of the game. I think this is right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Uh... I'm going to look to another continent and say Ivorian,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07as in those of the Cote d'Ivoire.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Ivorian. The Cote d'Ivoire.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Lots of people who aren't answering now, nodding as if to say,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18"Yes, I probably would've said that myself had I the neck."
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- I do have the neck.- You have the neck. Ivorian, he says.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Ivorian.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Ivorian.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Splendid, Rob.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36It's a good answer, I think. Down it goes and down it goes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And there it finishes! Very well done, indeed.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48takes the total up to £9,250 and it scores you nothing.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Beautifully played. Richard.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Brilliant answer. Great start to the show.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Absolutely, people from the Ivory Coast or the Cote d'Ivoire.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Very good. Now then, Rae.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02We are looking for a nice, obscure nationality ending '...ian'.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Not my favourite subject, to be honest.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11It's not really obscure, but I'm going to go safe and say Iranian.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Iranian.- Mm.- OK, well, let's see what that scores you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16It's right.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Oh, 18. Very well done, Rae.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24APPLAUSE
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Given you a respectable score there.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- Iranian, Richard.- Yeah, good answer. That's people who are from 'I-rain'.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- From Iran.- Thank you very much.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Sylvia. Remember, we are looking for nationalities that end in '...ian'.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48One country came immediately to mind, followed by two more.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52But I think I'd better go with my first choice.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Is it nice and obscure?- I hope so.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Splendid.- Croatian.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Good. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Croatian.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Croatian.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1117.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14APPLAUSE
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Great answer, Sylvia. 17 for Croatian, Richard. - Remarkably consistent scores.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Croatian, people from Croatia, who can also be called Croat.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- That's some extra information. - There we go. See, that IS good.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31We're halfway through the round, so let's see the scores.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well, now, Rob and Simon looking very strong indeed.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Nothing, nothing on the scoreboard.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44Then we jump up to 17, where Katie and Rob and Sylvia and Tony are sitting, looking pretty good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Then 18, also a lovely low score, Rae and Hannah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51For no reason, Hannah, you find yourselves top of the field,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54so you need to find a nice low score for the next pass.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Let's come back down the line. Second players take your places at the podium.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05OK, we are looking for nationalities ending in "...ian".
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Tony.- Right, OK, I think we'll go to a different continent altogether,
0:12:09 > 0:12:14and let's try...Peruvian.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Peruvian. I like where we've gone!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- LAUGHTER - Now, let's see.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Peruvian - is it right? How many people said it? There is a red line,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27but you can't see it, it's right at the bottom of the column.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29It's right.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Down it goes...
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Nine! Very well done, Tony.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39APPLAUSE
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That takes your total up to 26.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yes, good answer, Tony. Peruvian. - Quiz for you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Yeah.- Do you know what country Peruvians come from?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Peruvia.- Oh! It's...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- It's Peru.- Thank you very much, Richard. Now,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Hannah, the high-scorers are now Tony and Sylvia on 26.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01You're on 18. If you can score seven or less,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03you are through to the next round.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Looks like you've got a brilliant answer on the tip of your tongue.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Not really, no. Erm, I can think of quite a few,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13just nothing too obscure. I think I'm going to go with...
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Malaysian. - Malaysian. Sounds perfect to me.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18If you can get below that red line,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21through you go to the next round.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Very best of luck. Malaysian, how many people said that?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's right!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Oh, you've done it! That's a brilliant score!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37APPLAUSE
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Great score, Hannah, takes your total up to 22. Richard.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Yes, well played. It's surprisingly low for Malaysian.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49The inhabitants of Malaysia, we call Malaysian.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Or...Malay? - APPLAUSE
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Or Malay. LAUGHTER
0:13:57 > 0:13:59OK. Now, then,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Simon, how well did Rob do there? - He's fantastic.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07That's why he's my best friend, gets me out of situations like this.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Simon, stop it! - Erm, I'm feeling all right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- Erm, Tony took my answer.- Sorry about that.- I hold you responsible!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Erm...! And I think Malaysian is a great answer.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I'm going to go for...Slovenian.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- Slovenian!- Yeah, and hope that they're not called Slovene,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30like the Croatians are called Croats?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Let's go for Slovenian.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Let's. Tony and Sylvia, the high-scorers, on 26.
0:14:35 > 0:14:4025 or less, and you are definitely through to the next round, Simon.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Let's see if Slovenian can get you below that red line. Slovenian.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48It's right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You've only gone and done it!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Three! Brilliant!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59APPLAUSE
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Takes your total up to three. Richard?- Very well played.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07They can also be called Slovenes.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10But a brilliant combined score of three.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Now, then, Rob... Rob, we know what happened last time.- Yes!
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Leaving after the first round - that can NOT happen this time!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Well, my knowledge of football...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26has given me quite an extensive knowledge of international people.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30And I'm going to punt for an eastern European nation.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I'm going to say Macedonian. - Macedonian!
0:15:33 > 0:15:37And there are the nods - that's what we're after!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The high-scorers are Tony and Sylvia, on 26. You're on 17.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43You have to score eight or less.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46That's what eight points looks like on our tower.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You have to go below that red line,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- like sort of limbo. - LAUGHTER
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Macedonian -is it right? How many said it? Best of luck.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It is right.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Yes, you've done it!
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Very well done!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Two points for Macedonian!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- APPLAUSE - That takes the total up to 19.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Very well done indeed. - Yeah, well played, Rob.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I suspected your football knowledge would get you through.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19All the football reports are full of references to stocky Byelorussians
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- and nippy Latvians.- That was another one of my choices.- Very good answer.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Let's take a look at the pointless answers, there's quite a few.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Ecuadorian, from Ecuador. Fijian - that's Fiji.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Gambian... Gambia.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Ivorian, we've already heard, that's Ivory Coast,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Now, this is what I would like to be, a Kittitian.- Bless you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Yeah!- From St Kitts! - From St Kitts and Nevis, yeah.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And, er, Liberian,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51from, er, from... No, I don't know that one.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- From the library?- Actually, that should read librarian.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59No, it's Liberia. Let's take a look at the worst answers,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03which most of our 100 people said.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Australian top of the board, with 44.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So, at the end of Round One, the losing pair,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17with the highest score, it's Tony and Sylvia!
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Dear, oh, dear! 26! Most rounds you'd be delighted with 26.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24That's right, yep.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It's been a very low-scoring round. Nothing wrong with your answers.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Have you been to Peru or Croatia? - No.- Go to Croatia.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- I hope to do it as part of my mayor's tour.- Exactly!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- And Peru, while you're at it.- Yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43It's a shame to be saying goodbye, but we'll see you next time.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Tony and Sylvia, thanks so much.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49APPLAUSE
0:17:49 > 0:17:54For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- That's what you wanted, Katie, trivia!- Good!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So, our Round Two question concerns...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30We'll show you six clues on each pass.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34We asked 100 people to give us the answers to those clues, which were palindromes,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39that's a word that can be read the same way forwards as backwards.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Incorrect answers will score you 100 points.
0:18:42 > 0:18:4512 palindromes to get. Very best of luck at home.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49OK. Palindromic answers, and here we have the clues...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Let me do those again...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15LAUGHTER
0:19:18 > 0:19:21John...nnn! Singer, Shola...nnn!
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Supermodel Nnn...Macpherson, Miley Cyrus character
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Nnn...Montana
0:19:27 > 0:19:31and two crotchets - there we are, you've got 'em.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Katie...- Yes.- All you need to know is, the answers to all those
0:19:34 > 0:19:37read the same backwards as they do forwards.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Try to find the one that fewest people got,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- and you'll be through to the head-to-head.- Right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, I'm going to avoid Nnn...Montana,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- because that's quite popular right now.- As a rule, I would.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52LAUGHTER
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I'm not going to try and answer the bottom one,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59because we've proved that our knowledge of music isn't that great.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I'll go for the one answer that I'm not that sure of,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06in keeping with our tactics of taking a stab in the dark,
0:20:06 > 0:20:11and guess that the Gary Cooper Western might be called High Noon.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Very good indeed, Rob is nodding. Let's see if it's right,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Yes, it's right!
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Ooh, 64.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- APPLAUSE - 64, that's quite high.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Almost as high as the noon.- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Big score, but a correct answer. Bill Clinton's favourite film,
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- and John Wayne's least favourite film.- Really?- Yeah. How about that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42How about that? Simon...
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Hello.- Simon, hello. Palindromic...?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Erm, I know all of those. - Do you?- I do.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Good. It's just a matter of which will garner the lowest points?- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I'm feeling good. You've got the supermodel - Nnn! - Macpherson.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Erm...- See, that's a better noise than mine.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Certainly more urgent. - Erm, I'm going to go with,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I think my musical friends will be happy with me here,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12cos I can't read music to save my life,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17but I'm going to go for... two crotchets, and minim.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Oh! "A minim," says Simon.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Two crotchets. Let's see if it's right,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and if so, how many people knew it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Down it goes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Very well done, 23!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- APPLAUSE - Splendid answer, Simon.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38A minim, of course.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Yes, two crotchets, a half a semibreve - a minim.- Now, Hannah,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46you are the last person to have this board,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48so you can fill in all the gaps.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I've no idea who the singer is, but I think I know all the others.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's Elle Macpherson and Hannah Montana,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59but I'm going with the TV judge, I think it's John Deed?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- John Deed. OK, that's what you're saying.- I hope.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Hope so, too. Let's see if it's right.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And if it is, let's see how many people said John Deed.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09It's right!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- 51. - APPLAUSE
0:22:15 > 0:22:1751 for John Deed.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Richard?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yeah, good answer, Hannah,
0:22:21 > 0:22:26and you're our only palindromic contestant today.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Miley Cyrus's character, Hannah Montana,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34would have scored a fairly mighty 81, though.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Australian supermodel Mmmm! Macpherson.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Why didn't she go for that? It's much better than Elle as a name.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Mmmm! That would get you noticed.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- Because "Mmm" is not a palindrome. Unless you spell it M-M-M-M.- Which I was!- OK.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52So, Elle Macpherson, obviously, would have scored you 90.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57And the singer Shola, do you remember that? Shola Ama.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00But it would have scored you 36 points, so still a fairly big score.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- A fairly high scoring board. - She wasn't MC's sister, was she?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- LAUGHTER AND GROANS - Sorry, that's just awful.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Terrible. OK, we're halfway through the round,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11so let's look at the scores. 23 is the lowest there,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and Simon and Rob are on it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Then we go up to 51, Hannah and Rae.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Then up to 64, where Katie and Rob are currently sitting. So, Rob C.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25When it comes to you, you know what you have to do.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- I know what I have to do. - A really lovely low-scoring palindromic answer, please.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Otherwise we have to say goodbye to you, and that wouldn't do.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35OK, can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And here they are. 1974 Eurovision winners,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47object detection system,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Bing Crosby's Road partner, Mmmm Hope.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Canoe used by Inuits. Surname of widow of John Lennon.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Modern county town of Meath.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I will read all of those one more time. 1974 Eurovision winners.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Object detection system.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Bing Crosby's Road partner, Mmmm Hope.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Canoe used by Inuits.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Surname of widow of John Lennon.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Modern county town of Meath.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Now, remember, you're looking for a palindromic answer,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24What are you thinking, Rae?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I think I am going to go with the object detection system,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30and that's radar.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Radar, you're saying. Well, the high scorers are Rob and Katie on 64.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38That means you want to be scoring 12 or less
0:24:38 > 0:24:42to stay in the game. There's your red line. Can you get below it?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said radar.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46It's right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:5230.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5830 for radar takes your total to 81. Richard?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02A pretty good score, Rae. The term radar, coined by the US Navy in 1940.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- It stands for radio detection and ranging.- Thank you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Now, then, Rob. The high scorers now are Rae and Hannah on 81.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10You're on 23.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Which means if you score 57 or less, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17OK. I know all of them apart from the bottom one.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20That will be the lowest one, unfortunately.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25I am going to have to go for the canoe used by Inuits, I think.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26And that would be a kayak.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31A kayak. OK, kayak, says Rob.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Here's your red line, quite nice and high.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Let's see if kayak can get you below that red line. The very best of luck.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yep, you've done it!
0:25:43 > 0:25:4432 for kayak.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Richard?- Well played, Rob, good answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- They were originally made of seal skin over whalebone. - They're not any more(?)
0:25:56 > 0:26:03- Sorry. Sorry.- They're now fibreglass stretched over whalebone.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04LAUGHTER
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Very good. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Now, Rob, I happened to catch you there doing that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I have a feeling we're about to leave.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I don't know the bottom one, and the other three that are remaining
0:26:16 > 0:26:19are fairly obvious, so they'll all be high scorers.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I am just trying to work out which one will be least obvious.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Bing Crosby's Road partner, Bob Hope.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Bob Hope. OK, Bob Hope.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Possibly the only hope you have at this stage! There is your red line.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Let's see if Bob can get you below it. It would be brilliant.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Bob Hope. Is it right, and how many people said it?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oh, bad luck, Rob!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47APPLAUSE
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Bad luck. That scored you 60, takes your total up to 124. Richard?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Unlucky, Rob. If we called both of our Robs Bobs,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59we'd have palindromic players on all three teams.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Why didn't we? - Why did we not do that?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Let's fill in the rest of the board. You're absolutely right.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It's the bottom one that's the key to staying in this round.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13The 1974 Eurovision winners, ABBA. They would have scored you 86.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- The surname of the widow of John Lennon?- Yoko Ono.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Ono, absolutely right. Would have scored you 75.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23So, the modern county town of Meath, it is a pointless answer.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Nobody got it. Some will have got it at home. It's Navan.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Thank you very much, Richard.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34So, the losing pair at the end of Round Two...it's Rob and Katie.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36At least we saw Round Two.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You saw Round Two, but this is... what can I say? This is terrible.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I thought we were going to have much more fun with you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Instead we have to say goodbye too soon.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48But it's been brilliant having you here. Thank you. Great contestants.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49APPLAUSE
0:27:49 > 0:27:52But for the remaining two pairs,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Very well done, Rob and Simon, Hannah and Rae.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Now, only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £9,250.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Now, for each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,
0:28:20 > 0:28:21but you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26You come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair, and you win that question.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Let's play Pointless.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39OK, here is your first question.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:28:42 > 0:28:45as many Bob Marley UK top 40 singles as they could.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Looking for any single released by Bob Marley or which had him as a named artist
0:28:49 > 0:28:53which reached the UK top 40 prior to May 2011, please.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Thank you very much. Now, then, Rob and Simon, you've played best throughout the show,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00so you get to go first.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- OK, we've decided. We're going to take a bit of a risk.- Good.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Because we think we know the obvious-y ones.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15We're going to go for...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18That would be a great name for a collection, wouldn't it?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20"Bob Marley: The Obvious-y Ones."
0:29:21 > 0:29:26I'm going to go for Iron Lion Zion. I think that's the title.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Iron Lion Zion, you're saying.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32OK, Hannah and Rae,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Bob Marley singles, UK top 40 singles.- We just laughed.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I'm glad they said obvious ONES, because we only know one.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- And that was it? - I'm not a Bob Marley fan. Sorry.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46The only one we know is No Woman No Cry.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48No Woman No Cry. OK, that'll do.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52We have Iron Lion Zion and we have No Woman No Cry.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Rob and Simon chose Iron Lion Zion. Is that right, and if so, how many people said it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It is right.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Oh, it's low. Look at that, 4!
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Very well done.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Anna and Rae, you've gone for No Woman No Cry.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see if it can beat 4.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25- Bad luck.- Less than I thought.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2755, it's better than wrong!
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Two perfectly respectable answers, but Iron Lion Zion is the lower scorer,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37which means, after one question, Rob and Simon are up 1-0.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Yes, Iron Lion Zion a number five hit in 1992.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42There are pointless answers here
0:30:42 > 0:30:45that I suspect some people would have got one or other of.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Punky Reggae Party was a top 10 hit in the '70s.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55One Love - People Get Ready and Keep On Moving, all of those pointless answers.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06And some of the bigger hits here.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Jammin', 22. That's the old joke.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13"How does Bob Marley like his doughnuts? Wi' jam in."
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Great man, great man.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Buffalo Soldier would have scored you 25.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22There are eight top 10 hits on that list,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26but No Woman, No Cry is not one of them. It only reached number 22,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28but scored 55, probably his most well-known song.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33So here is your second question, Hannah and Rae.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:31:39 > 0:31:43of the Royle Family actors as they could.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Any of the 11 actors or actresses who have been credited as appearing
0:31:47 > 0:31:52in five or more episodes of the Royle Family up to and including the 2010 Christmas special.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56OK. Now, this time, Hannah and Rae, you go first.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Do you want me to go for that? - I trust you.- I think...
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Again, it's not really one I've watched, but Sue Johnston.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Sue Johnston, you're saying. Very good.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Now, then, Rob and Simon, have you got an answer?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Yeah, again, this is really not up our street at all.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17But I think, in the back of my mind, I remember an actor
0:32:17 > 0:32:21who went on to do Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23That kind of seminal drama.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I think his name is Ralf Little,
0:32:25 > 0:32:30and I hope he was in the Royle Family, but I remember his face somewhere.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32OK, you're saying Ralf Little.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36So we have Sue Johnston and we have Ralf Little.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Hannah and Rae have to win this.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Sue Johnston, is that right, and how many people said it?
0:32:41 > 0:32:42It's right.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Where's it going to stop? Down it goes...
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Ooh, 25!
0:32:48 > 0:32:51APPLAUSE
0:32:51 > 0:32:5325 for Sue Johnston.
0:32:54 > 0:33:00- Ralf Little, say Rob and Simon. - Not confident.- Let's have a look.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's see if it's right, and if it's right,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05let's see if it can go down lower than Sue Johnston on 25.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Ralf Little, is it right?
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Yes, it is right.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13It's right. Can it beat Sue Johnston?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Yes! Look at that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:169 for Ralf Little.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Very, very well done indeed.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27That means after only two questions, Rob and Simon are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- What about that? - Yes, two good answers there.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Sue Johnston plays Barbara, of course, and Ralf Little plays Anthony, the son.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36He dropped out of medical school when he won that part.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Let's look at the answers. There's three pointless answers.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Peter Martin and Doreen Keogh played Joe and Mary, the neighbours.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48Peter Martin was Len in Emmerdale, and Doreen Keogh was the first ever barmaid in Coronation Street.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Andrew Whyment plays Darren, Anthony's friend.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52He's Kirk in Coronation Street.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Geoffrey Hughes would have scored one point. He plays family friend Twiggy.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Jessica Stevenson played Cheryl, now Jessica Hynes, of course.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Craig Cash plays Dave. Liz Smith plays Nana.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Thank you very much, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Hannah and Rae.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20You've done very well, fantastically well.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You played a blinder all the way through.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25The great news for us is we see you again next time.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Thanks so much for playing, Hannah and Rae.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:36But for Rob and Simon, it's now time for our Pointless final,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38and the chance to win our jackpot of £9,250.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Well, congratulations, Rob and Simon.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You fought off the competition
0:34:46 > 0:34:49and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. So, very well done.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:57 > 0:35:03At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at a whopping £9,250.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08OK, the rules are very simple.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11To win that money, you must find a pointless answer. That's an answer
0:35:11 > 0:35:14none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17We've only had one pointless answer on the show today. What was it, Rob?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Ivorian. - Oh, it was Ivorian! Exactly.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, you have to find one more pointless answer now.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27And if you do, you will leave here with that £9,250.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29First, though, you've got to choose a category.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You can choose from these three options.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- All three of those are quite good. - We can do all three of those, I think.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I don't think bestselling authors, because it'll be...
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Dickens sold a lot, but nowhere near as many as Jodi Picoult.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Or Martina Cole.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Famous foodies, we could do. We watch a lot of food programmes.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02It could be something like... I don't know what it could be.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Who knows? Great British Menu chefs, that's what it'd be.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I think we would be stupid not to go for film directors.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Knowing our kind of hobbies and interests.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- So we'll go for film directors. - OK, good. Let's see the question.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:16 > 0:36:20to name as many films directed by Ron Howard as they could.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- Richard?- Yes, we're looking for any feature film given a general cinema release
0:36:25 > 0:36:29prior to April 2011 for which Ron Howard received a directing credit.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33No TV films, short films or documentaries, just feature films, please.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Very best of luck.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41All you need to win that £9,250 is the just one of those answers
0:36:41 > 0:36:43to be pointless.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- OK, right. I think... - He did the World Trade Center one?
0:36:47 > 0:36:51No, that's Oliver Stone. I've got a few. I think recent is better.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- He directed The Da Vinci Code and Angels And Demons, I think.- OK.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I think there's a film with Russell Crowe, Cinderella Man,
0:36:59 > 0:37:00which is about a boxer.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Yes! What was his famous film? - A Beautiful Mind.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05I'll let you talk - encyclopaedic knowledge.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09A Beautiful Mind won Oscars. I don't think we should go for that.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12I think Angels And Demons is a good one cos it was such a stinker.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- People don't realise who directed it.- And no-one would attach Ron Howard...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I don't know what he's actually famous for.- He's the Fonz.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- He's the Fonz?- Yes, that's...I don't know.- Is he?- Yes, isn't he?- No.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Yeah, Ron Howard. I dunno! Anyway!
0:37:25 > 0:37:28That's not the question, um...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Cinderella Man, I think, is good.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Angels and Demons is good.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Russell Crowe is his man, so anything like that. Did he do State Of Play, that one?
0:37:37 > 0:37:38I don't think so. I don't know.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Five seconds left.- That was from the TV show, State Of Play. Go for it?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46OK. There's your minute.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49We were looking for Ron-Howard-directed films.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I now need your three answers.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Um...we're going to go for Angels And Demons.- Angels And Demons.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Cinderella Man.- Cinderella Man. - And State Of Play.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Yeah, I don't think that's right. - And State Of Play. OK.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Very, very good indeed. - Yes, let's hope so.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- He wasn't the Fonz, he was Richard Cunningham.- Oh, right.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Oh, not the Fonz. Well, I was born in '91. That's to make you feel all bad.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15OK. Right! We have your three answers.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Of those three, which is your most confident shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Cinderella Man. - We shall put that last.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- What shall we put first? - State Of Play cos we don't think it's right.- State Of Play.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29OK, let's put them on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37We were looking for Ron Howard movies.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40This is your first shot at that £9,250 jackpot.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Let's see if State Of Play is right and,
0:38:42 > 0:38:46if it is, how many people said it. State Of Play.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Nope! Nope. You were expecting that, though.- We were.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- It would have been weird if that was right.- Yes, very lucky.- Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57There we are. Not pointless. You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00We now move into the more serious part of this round,
0:39:00 > 0:39:04where you've put forward two Ron Howard films, you think.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Hopefully.- OK. Well, hopefully, yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Let's hope nobody said Angels And Demons.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Just before we put it to the test, what would you do with £9,250?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- What?- Buy loads of DVDS. - Yeah, what wouldn't we do?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- Probably buy lots of DVDs.- That's too many DVDs.- £9,000 of DVDs.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- No, no, no.- Solid gold DVDs.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27In all honesty, we'd take a trip together. Yeah, we'll go on holiday.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31We've always wanted to go to the US to see, like, the proper US.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35We've been to Orlando but that's, like, fake America.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37OK. You want to see, like, real America.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40We want to see the real places.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Yes, a place where all of our dreams don't come true.- Yep.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44LAUGHTER
0:39:44 > 0:39:46OK. OK.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- So that's what it'll go towards, hopefully.- Your dreams not coming true in America. Good!
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Angels And Demons. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57It is right! OK. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00The second thing it has to be is pointless
0:40:00 > 0:40:02and if it goes to zero - every chance it might -
0:40:02 > 0:40:04you'll be leaving here with £9,250.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Down to single figures...
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- five. - AUDIENCE GROANS AND APPLAUDS
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Oh, that's good, though.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Think how pleased you'd be with five in normal game play. Brilliant!
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- That's very close but it doesn't do anything for us.- No.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22It doesn't make you any richer, certainly,
0:40:22 > 0:40:26but it tells us what our 100 people know about Ron Howard.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29They knew Angels And Demons was directed by him.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Do they know Cinderella Man?
0:40:31 > 0:40:35I'm beginning to doubt whether that's even right, now, actually!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Um...yeah, I'm really disappointed Angels And Demons wasn't pointless
0:40:39 > 0:40:41cos I'm not 100% that Cinderella Man is Ron Howard.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43OK. Cinderella Man.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Is it directed by Ron Howard and,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48if it is, did any of our 100 people know that?
0:40:48 > 0:40:53That's what we have to find out. If they didn't know that, you leave with £9,250.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Cinderella Man. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02It's right! It IS right. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04The next thing it has to be is pointless. Down it goes.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Angels And Demons wasn't pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09This one has to be. Down into single figures.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Down it goes!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Yes! - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Very, very well done! Oh, congratulations!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Just brilliant. Superb!
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Very good!
0:41:28 > 0:41:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Well, congratulations.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38You managed to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42which means you go home with a jackpot of £9,250.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Say it again! Say it again! - Champagne for everyone!
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Champagne!- Wow!
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Richard?- Yes, well-played, Rob and Simon. Played well throughout.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Yes, from 2005, Cinderella Man stars Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00The true story of the boxer James Braddock.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Nominated for three Oscars. I recommend you see it now!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I might be too busy on my yacht!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08LAUGHTER
0:42:08 > 0:42:10We need to have a little chat about the price of yachts.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Only a little one.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16State Of Play was Kevin Macdonald, he directed that.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Done all sorts of films, Ron Howard. Splash, Cocoon, Apollo 13...
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Cinderella Man was a pointless answer, EDTV,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Frost/Nixon was a pointless answer.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Gung Ho from 1986,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32The Dilemma from 2011 with Vince Vaughn and Winona Ryder,
0:42:32 > 0:42:33that was pointless.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The Missing with Cate Blanchett - Tommy Lee Jones also in that -
0:42:37 > 0:42:39and The Paper, a behind-the-scenes ensemble piece
0:42:39 > 0:42:43about a newspaper with Michael Keaton, Glenn Close and others.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Well, thank you once again to our winning players, Rob and Simon,
0:42:47 > 0:42:52who go away with today's jackpot of £9,250. Amazing.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
