0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now, first we welcome Mary and Sophie.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39How do you two know each other?
0:00:39 > 0:00:45Er, Sophie's my only child, and, erm, we live in North London.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50She's still living at home. Erm, and she will move out one day.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Splendid. What d'you like to do, Sophie?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Erm...well, at the moment it's attending weddings,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00cos all my friends are getting married.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04And I've joined a book club, which is cool.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05What are you reading at the moment?
0:01:05 > 0:01:10It's a sci-fi novel, which has been recommended by someone else.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12What are the rest of the group feeling?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14They like sci-fi, or are your...?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Erm, I think we're struggling a little bit. It's a bit of a tome.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Have you had to recommend your own book?- Not yet.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- I imagine I'd be a bit nervous about that.- Yeah.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I wonder if I'd recommend one a bit higher brow
0:01:26 > 0:01:28than the type of book I normally like,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30so people thought I was very clever.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- That's my strategy.- That's exactly what I would do.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Mary, what are your hobbies?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Erm, I love travelling and we do a lot of travelling together.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We've been to quite a few places...
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Is she a good travelling companion? - Love travelling with her.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We always laugh at the same things...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51"We always laugh at the same people."
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Usually ourselves!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Well, lovely having you on the show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Very, very best of luck. And now, next we welcome Laura and Naomi.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01How do you two know each other?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Laura and I both had our first children last year,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- so we met at a mother and baby group.- Did you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- So this was after the children were born?- That's right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It was both our first days and we were in the queue for a coffee,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and spotted each other and have been good friends ever since.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Where have you come from? - From Edinburgh.- From Edinburgh.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- What do you do, Laura? - I'm a primary school teacher.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Splendid. Any... What particular age? Primary school...the whole lot?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The lot. I've taught nursery, I've taught primary seven,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and I've taught in the middle, so...anyone, I'll teach anyone.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You'll teach anyone,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and what d'you like to do in your spare time, Naomi?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I still enjoy eating out when we can and cooking,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and I'm quite a sports fan as well, so as and when I can,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'll get to watch live sport or...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Just general sport or are there sports you like to follow?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Football primarily, that's my number one.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- It was mutual.- Mutual.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56We take joint responsibility.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59All the mummies in our group, we all watch Pointless,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03and we were the two that decided we'd come on and give it a bash.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07BOTH: Thank you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Next, we welcome back Jean and Paul. You were on the show last time.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Remind us what happened.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Must we?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18We went out on the second round, which was on musical theatre.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24We both got our questions wrong, so scored 200 points.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26It was a good round for you two! You did so well!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28We're still waiting for the brooches.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Right, yes...- The 200 Club...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The 200 Club, yes. You are our latest additions to the 200 Club.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We haven't worked out what members of the 200 Club should get,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40but...well, ridiculed!
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- Yes. Maybe an encyclopaedia. - An encyclopaedia! There we are.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Thanks(!)- Splendid. Jean, now then, this is the show
0:03:48 > 0:03:50when you're going to redeem yourselves.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- What are the categories that are going to help you do that?- Erm...
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Geography, OK. Geography would be fine, erm...if you're listening!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Who the hell are you talking to?!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I'm listening.- Oh-oh!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10That sounded like a prayer!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Well...!- Erm...very good. Paul?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- For me it would have to be Doctor Who.- Splendid.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19That would be a great thing for you?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yes it would, cos my grandad built me
0:04:21 > 0:04:25a life-size Dalek that I could actually get inside and control.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- It's awesome!- Did it have all the lights and stuff?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30There's buttons so you can make the main light
0:04:30 > 0:04:33go on the eye stalk and you can make the lights on the top flash.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37It's even got a voice changer, so you could talk like a Dalek.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Just exemplary grandfathering! That's superb!- That's awesome.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44That's raising the bar for any grandfathers.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Jean and Paul, lovely to have you back on the show. Very best of luck.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Finally, welcome, Austin and Niall. You were also on the show last time.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Everyone gets two chances, you see.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58And this is your second chance. Remind us what happened with you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We got to the head-to-head, where we experienced
0:05:00 > 0:05:03the highs and lows of a pointless answer and a wrong answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06On the evidence of your performance last time,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11we'd have to say you're favourites, surely, to get to the final.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- As I say that, your chances now are...- Shattered.- Shattered, yes!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Austin, what would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, I'm a big pop music fan, so, like, Top 40 hits
0:05:21 > 0:05:25by Des O'Connor, something like that there would be quite good...
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Yeah, OK...Top 40 hits by Des O'Connor.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Splendid. Niall, how about you?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I enjoyed the musical theatre round the last time.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Should have declared an interest, being a member
0:05:37 > 0:05:40of the Ulster Operatic Company for the past ten years.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Ahh...so you've sung in lots and lots of musicals?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I've sung in quite a few. My favourite show, actually,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48is one where I haven't sung at all.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I actually operated the plant in The Little Shop of Horrors.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It starts off a little, sort of, hand puppet,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- and grows into this big monster that eats people.- Fantastic!
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Very good indeed. Well, it's great having you back on the show.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Very, very best of luck, despite my predictions for you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10There's one person left to introduce. He's a man who gets paid
0:06:10 > 0:06:12for slating the obvious! Ha-ha!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- He's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hello.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Hello there.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- How are you?- I'm very well, yeah. Should be a good show today.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Austin and Niall were fantastic on the last show.- They were.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Really good head-to-head. Very unlucky.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I think they're going to be very tough to beat.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Jean and Paul got to Round Two. They might do well.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Bad news for Laura. Round One is the sort of thing
0:06:37 > 0:06:39a primary school teacher should do well at.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Sorry about that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Ooh. OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47We put all our questions to 100 people, but this is Pointless.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50We're after the obscure answers. To stay in the game
0:06:50 > 0:06:52with a chance to win our jackpot,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55our players need to score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer
0:06:58 > 0:07:00that none of our 100 people gave.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10So today's jackpot starts off at £2,500.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13APPLAUSE
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Let's play Pointless.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24In the first round, each of you must give one answer,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, try to avoid those if you possibly can.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:51 > 0:07:57to name as many words ending in ...ARM as they could.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Words ending in...ARM. What a pleasing constellation of letters!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Yeah, we're looking for any word in the Oxford English Dictionary
0:08:05 > 0:08:08online edition that ends in the letters ARM.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Hyphenated words won't count and proper nouns won't count either.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14And we won't accept the word "Arm".
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Just in case anyone was thinking of saying that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now then, Mary and Sophie, you all drew lots before the show,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29So, Mary, we are looking for words that end in ...ARM.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Well, I'm racking my brain to think of something
0:08:33 > 0:08:37as obscure as possible, but the best I can come up with is disarm.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Disarm. Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42let's see how many people said disarm.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45It's right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:5132.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Nothing wrong with that. 32 for disarm, Richard.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Yeah, well played, Mary. Fairly safe start. Disarm.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It's a way of telling the doctor which arm is hurting.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Now, Laura. Will all your class be watching, d'you think?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I think they probably will, yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I can't think of anything other than forearm.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Forearmed is forewarned. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27And if it is, let's see how many people said forearm.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Very well done. That's a great score, Laura.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Very good. 10 for forearm.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Well played, Laura. Very good answer. Forearm.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The forearm. It's the part between the elbow and the wrist.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Paul.- Hello.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53Paul, hello. What word ending in ARM are you going to give me?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I'm going to go with alarm.- Alarm.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59OK, alarm. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Let's see if alarm's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04It's right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:0765!
0:10:11 > 0:10:1265 for alarm.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yeah, pretty big score.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17A warning sound meant to convey an imminent threat.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Now then, Niall. Remember, we're looking for words that end in ARM.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27I'm tossing up between two, and I'm going with underarm.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Underarm.- The other one is overarm, as you might have guessed.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Very good. Underarm, which in fact features in my name.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Alex Underarm-strong.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Let's see if underarm is right,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and if it is, let's see how many people said underarm.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Very well done, Niall. That's a great answer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Best answer of the pass.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Underarm. Four, Richard.- Very good answer, Niall. Well played.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Obviously means under the arm, or a way of bowling a ball.- Splendid.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Niall and Austin, looking very strong with a lovely score of four.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Then up to 10, where we find Laura and Naomi.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Then up to 32, where Mary and Sophie currently reside.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And then, up to 65, Paul.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23That was quite a high-scoring answer, wasn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So, Jean, you're going to have to find a brilliantly low-scoring
0:11:27 > 0:11:30answer on the next pass, if we're to see you after this round.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Right, we're going to come back down the line.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- OK, remember, we are looking for words ending in ARM. Austin.- Yes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The high scorers are Jean and Paul on 65, which means
0:11:44 > 0:11:47if you can score 60 or less, you are definitely through
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- to the next round.- OK.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53There's a word I have in mind, but I can't be sure whether it's a word,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and second of all, might be hyphenated, so...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I might have to go for something slightly safer.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So I'm going to use my charm, and say charm.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08You're going to say charm. Well, here is your red line.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13If charm gets you below that red line, it'll get you anywhere.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18OK, let's see. Charm, is it right?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And if it is right, how many people said charm?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's done it! Very well done, 55.
0:12:29 > 0:12:3155 takes your total up to 59. Richard.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yeah, well done, Austin.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37A trait that exerts an attractive influence or a spell. Charm.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Now, then. Jean and Paul. You're the highest scorers.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- You have to score as low as you can with this answer.- I know!
0:12:45 > 0:12:50I'm toying with something which might be dialect or it might
0:12:50 > 0:12:53be half of something else.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Erm... Or I might just have imagined that it exists at all!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I am not quite sure.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I've not got any other answers, so I'm going to try barm.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05As in barmy?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07No, a barm cake.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Barm, as in barm cake.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Oh, well, barmy, but barm cake I prefer!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Paul's right behind you, Jean. You're saying barm.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19No red line for you, obviously, cos you are the high scorers.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Let's see if barm's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28It's right. Very well said, Jean. It's right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:3217!
0:13:34 > 0:13:3817 for barm, takes your total up to 82. Richard.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Yeah, barm as in barm cakes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It's the fermentation process, actually, that makes bread.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But barm can also be another word for a lady's bosom.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48(I beg your pardon?)
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Yeah! So, if your husband calls you barmy, just say, "Thank you very much."
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Thank you very much.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Er, now then, Naomi.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The high scorers are still Jean and Paul, now on 82.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05You're on 10, which means if you can score 71 or less,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07you're through to the next round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm struggling to think of anything very clever,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15so I'm going to go with what I hope is a safe answer, and go with warm.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Very good, you're hoping the "orm" pronunciation might put
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- people off its scent. - That's the logic.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23OK, there's your red line. That's what 71 looks like.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27If you can get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Let's see if warm gets you down there. Warm.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36It's right. And you are through!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's still going down, look at that. 46!
0:14:38 > 0:14:4146 takes your total up to 56.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Richard.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yeah, well played, Naomi. That's seen you safely through.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Now then, Sophie, we come to you. You're on 32.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The high scorers, Jean and Paul, are on 82.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You have to score 49 or less to be through to the next round.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56What are you thinking?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Erm, I found this quite hard, actually, but I'm going with it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It might be a risk. I'm going to go for self-harm.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08OK, you're hoping that's correct. You're hoping that's one word.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Yes. Yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Self-harm. Let's see if it's right
0:15:12 > 0:15:16and if it is, let's see how many people said self-harm.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Bad luck, Sophie! Bad luck. That's the right sort of risk to take,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24but I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 132. Bad luck.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Richard.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Yeah, sorry Sophie. Hyphenated.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Self-harm which is what you have to do
0:15:33 > 0:15:35if you're moving from the country to the city.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Y-y-es!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Sell farm, yeah.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Yeah, that took me all of a minute to get. Very good.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So, that's a real bit of luck there for Jean and Paul.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Paul got away with his alarm.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Funnily enough, if you'd said unalarm or disalarm,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58you would have got a pointless answer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Both pointless. Let's take a look at some more pointless answers, though.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Countercharm, which means to counter the effect of a charm, as in
0:16:05 > 0:16:08the expression, "That Piers Morgan is a very countercharming man."
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Defarm, disalarm, which means to disconnect an alarm, or to placate.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Johndarm, which is... - Old English for a policeman?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Well, it's slang for a policeman. Taken from the French, gendarme.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Outarm, overswarm, that was a pointless answer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Schwarm, which is a crush, if you have a schwarm on somebody,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31you have a little crush on them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Subfarm and unalarm, there you go. That was a pointless answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Well done if you said any of those.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Where was yard-arm on that?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Yard-arm is two words, or a hyphenated word.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- No!- Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, well, I'd have been swinging from it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Yeah. Wouldn't you just? - Have I been...?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Let's take a look at the most popular answers,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55We've already heard alarm there from Paul. That was 65.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Then harm, 73, and farm, 81.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, at the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest
0:17:03 > 0:17:05score, I'm sorry to say, Sophie and Mary.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I thought that was a great answer, self-harm. Blooming hyphenated.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Who'd have known?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14What a shame, though, and...did you have that all the way through?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17No, my mind went completely blank,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21and then my safe answer was taken by those guys, so I was like, no!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24What a shame to be saying goodbye to you so soon, but
0:17:24 > 0:17:27we will see you again next time, and we look forward to that very much.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Sophie and Mary, great contestants. Thanks for playing.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Now, there's only room for two pairs
0:17:43 > 0:17:45in the Head-to-Head so one of the teams
0:17:45 > 0:17:48now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56who's going to go second?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05OK, so our Round Two question concerns...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11TV game shows and their presenters. Richard.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Yeah, we're going to show you a list of six TV game shows on each pass.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15We asked 100 people,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19"Who was the first person to be the main host of these shows?"
0:18:19 > 0:18:23If you give us a nice obscure answer, you're going to score fewer points.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:26 > 0:18:2912 shows in all, 12 hosts to guess at home.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Thank you, Richard.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33So, we're looking for the first person to present these game shows,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and here is our first list. We have got...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'll read those all one more time.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53There we are, Laura. There are six game shows.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57I would like you to find the most obscure one there,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and name the person who presents it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Crikey!
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I know some of them. I'm going to take a bit of a punt.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14Sorry! I'm going to go for the Crystal Maze, and Richard O'Brien.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- You're not sure about that? - No!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Naomi, what d'you think? - I'm happy with that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Naomi's happy. What more could you ask for, Laura?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Nothing. As long as Naomi's happy, I'm fine.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27You're saying Richard O'Brien for Crystal Maze.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Yes, it's right!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Oh, it's a good answer. Look at that, 16!
0:19:41 > 0:19:4416, for Richard O'Brien, Richard.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah, very well played, Laura. Good start.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Presented the first four series' of that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Also created the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Richard O'Brien.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Jean.
0:19:54 > 0:20:01I'm hoping that this woman is the only presenter of the programme
0:20:01 > 0:20:06I have in mind, because if there was one prior to her, it's curtains.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Erm, Victoria Coren, Only Connect.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Vicky Coren, Victoria Coren, Only Connect.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Very good. Let's see if that's right
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Victoria Coren. Only Connect.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It's right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Very, very well done indeed, Jean!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Brilliant!
0:20:32 > 0:20:33One point.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- One point for Victoria Coren. - Yeah, very well played, Jean.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Lovely Victoria Coren presents the BBC Four game show, Only Connect.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43In a roundabout way, she's sort of your sister-in-law, isn't she?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46She's my sister-in-law-in-law!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah, her brother's wife is your...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Wife's sister! - We heartily recommend Only Connect!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54You've been an answer on Only Connect.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Now Vicky's been an answer on this show!
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Lovely Vicky's an answer on...aww, that makes us
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- a sort of show...sister show! - Show-in-laws!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Show-in-laws.- That's nice. - It's lovely.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- They never come and visit, though, do they?- Well, no, Christmas.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Only Connect came round ours last time,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12so it's us round them next time.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15They hung around a bit long, didn't they?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Now then, Austin, Austin, Austin!
0:21:19 > 0:21:22You are the last person to have this board, so you can fill in
0:21:22 > 0:21:24all the gaps and then pick which one you wish to submit.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30OK, first of all I'd like to thank Jean for taking out Victoria Coren.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35The other ones, obviously the Weakest Link would be Anne Robinson.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38And Bullseye would be Jim Bowen.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Fifteen To One was William G Stewart, and 3-2-1's Ted Rogers.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So I'm going to go for 3-2-1 with Ted Rogers.
0:21:45 > 0:21:493-2-1, Ted Rogers. Very good indeed. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Ted Rogers for 3-2-1, how many people knew that answer?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's right!
0:21:59 > 0:22:0118! Not bad at all.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- 18, Richard.- Yeah, well played, Austin, although actually,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11you'd have been better off with Fifteen To One.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You're right, it's William G Stewart, would have only scored nine points.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18He said, on quizzes, there's only one rule for questions.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20They should either make you say "I know that,"
0:22:20 > 0:22:23or they should make you say, "Ooh, I didn't know that."
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- It's a very good rule. - I didn't know that!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28There you go! And you're absolutely right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Anne Robinson was the Weakest Link, but would have scored you 77.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And Bullseye, of course, Jim Bowen, that would have scored 40.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38So, the best answer on the board, Victoria Coren.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Well done if you got that at home.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Thank you, Richard. Let's look at the scores.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42We're halfway through the round.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Jean and Paul, Vicky Coren stood you in very good stead there.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Lovely low score.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Then we go up to 16, where Laura and Naomi are,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and then up to 18 where Austin and Niall are.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55So, not much between you. Right, we'll come back down the line.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04OK, we're going to put six more game shows on the board,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and here they are. We have got...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14I'll read those all one more time.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Remember, we are looking for the original host of these game shows.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Obviously, you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Now, Niall, you're the highest scorers on 18, so you're going
0:23:32 > 0:23:35to have to find the most obscure answer you can on that board.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37I think Turnabout was Rob Curling.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41You'll be pleased to hear that Austin is nodding behind you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm very pleased to hear that!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Turnabout, Rob Curling. Let's hope that's right,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and if it is, let's see how many people
0:23:48 > 0:23:50said Rob Curling for Turnabout.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's right!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I think this might be a low one.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Oh, very, very well done indeed!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:03 > 0:24:07That's a splendid answer, it's a pointless answer too!
0:24:07 > 0:24:11It adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to 2,750.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It scores you nothing, and it leaves your total at 18.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Very well done indeed, Niall. That's great. Richard.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yeah, well played, Niall. It was on BBC1 from 1990 to 1996.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- I used to love Turnabout! - Never heard of it.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- You've never heard of it? - No.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- I could sing you the theme tune, now. - Oh, sing me the theme tune!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Unfortunately, it would cost us millions of pounds in royalties...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Sing me the theme tune!- No!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Sing me the theme tune!- The thing on that show is they had spheres,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38you had to turn sphere different colours.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40They went from red to orange to blue,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44which spells Rob, one of the many good things about Turnabout.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I didn't think anyone was going to get Rob Curling, I'm delighted!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- That's made my day. - Very good.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Splendid! Now then, Paul.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Hello!- Hello. You are on one.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58The highest scorers are still Niall and Austin on 18.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01If you can score 16 or less with your answer,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03you are definitely in the Head-to-Head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Right, I don't really recognise most of the games on there,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10the only ones I know are the Cube and the Generation Game,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14so I'll go for the Generation Game and hope it's the first presenter.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15I'm going to go with Jim Davidson.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18OK, you're going to go with Jim Davidson. Is that right,
0:25:18 > 0:25:19for the Generation Game,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and if it is, how many people said it?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Bad luck, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Paul.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- and it takes your total up to 101. Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Paul,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36there was more than one
0:25:36 > 0:25:39presenter before Jim Davidson brought his own countercharm to that show!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I won't give the answer just in case Naomi wants to have a go with it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48OK, thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Naomi. You're on 16.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The high scorers at the moment are Paul and Jean on 101.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54If you can score 84 or less, through you go to the Head-to-Head.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5684 or less.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I think Every Second Counts might have been Bob Monkhouse.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I think the Generation Game was Bruce Forsyth.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think the Cube might be Philip Schofield.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Can't for the life of me remember Blockbusters.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15I'm going to say that the presenter of Going For Gold was Henry Kelly.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Henry Kelly. Going For Gold.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I can see some nods around the assembled contestantry!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25There is your red line, that's what 84 looks like on our counter.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Will Henry Kelly get you below that red line?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Let's see. Going For Gold, Henry Kelly.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well done, you've done it. And you're through.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well done, 13, Naomi, that's great. Takes your total up to 29.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Richard.- Well played, Naomi. Very good answer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Had that famous theme tune, composed by Hans Zimmer,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- the theme tune to Going For Gold. - How does it go, Richard?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Nice try!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And, you know the first ever winner of Going For Gold was
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01She won the first series of Going For Gold.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Wow.- Yeah, how about that?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Let's take a look at all the answers here.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10The Cube is Phillip Schofield, would have scored you 55 points.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Now, the Generation Game, Naomi's absolutely right, it was
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Bruce Forsyth, then it was Larry Grayson,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18would have scored you 62 points.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Every Second Counts was actually Paul Daniels,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23so that would have scored you 11.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24And at the top of the board,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Blockbusters was of course Bob Holness.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Would have scored you 37 points.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33So the best answer on that board very much Rob Curling,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35so well done if you said that at home.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And very well done if you ARE Rob Curling at home, as well.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end
0:27:40 > 0:27:43of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm afraid it's Jean and Paul.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I was going to go with the Cube originally, as well,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52and with Phillip Schofield, but I changed my mind.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh, no!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57If it's any consolation, you'd have been knocked out anyway.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59On 56.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Well, there you are. Exactly, some consolation, but not a great deal.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Well... it has been fantastic having you on the show, Paul and Jean,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11you've been brilliant contestants, and I'm very sorry we have to
0:28:11 > 0:28:13say goodbye to you so soon this time.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Thanks so much for playing,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Things are about to get even more
0:28:19 > 0:28:21exciting now, as we enter the Head-to-Head.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Very well done, Austin and Niall, Laura and Naomi.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You've made it through to the Head-to-Head.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:28:36 > 0:28:39and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41WHOOPING
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now for each question, each pair needs to give me
0:28:45 > 0:28:48just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50You have to come up with an answer that scores less
0:28:50 > 0:28:52than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Let's play Pointless.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04OK, here is your first question.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:29:10 > 0:29:13..as they could. England footballers named David, Richard.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Yeah, we're looking for any member of an England World Cup squad
0:29:16 > 0:29:20or European Championship squad named David or Dave, from 1980,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22right the way through to the World Cup in 2010.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Where two players share the same name,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27we'll only accept the answer once.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29OK. Now then, Austin and Niall,
0:29:29 > 0:29:33you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35England footballers named David.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Erm, one, I think it might have been two of these people,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48but I'm pretty sure that one definitely played for England,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and his name was Dave Watson.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52- Dave Watson?- Yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Laura and Naomi.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00England footballers named David. You can talk out loud if you like.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01We don't have much to say on this!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I'd volunteer to be the brains on this one, and I've got
0:30:04 > 0:30:08a blank mind at the moment, I mean there's the obvious David Beckham,
0:30:08 > 0:30:13but I suspect that's not going to stand up to our colleagues' answer.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16D'you want to go for a gamble, or d'you want to go for a safe bet?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18No, let's go for it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Are you sure, cos I strongly suspect...?
0:30:19 > 0:30:24They'll be right. We've spoken to them, we know they'll be right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Let's go with David Speedie. - David Speedie?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Austin and Niall have gone for Dave Watson.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Let's see if that's right,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33and if it is, let's see how many people said Dave Watson.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36It's right.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It's right.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Oh, ah-ha-ha!
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I don't believe it, Austin and Niall have done it again!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50This is the second Head-to-Head pointless answer
0:30:50 > 0:30:52we've had from you in two shows.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Absolutely astounding. That's brilliant. That's wonderful.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to the jackpot,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00taking the total up to £3,000.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It scores you nothing.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Good luck, Laura and Naomi! You've gone for David Speedie.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Let's see if it's right,
0:31:09 > 0:31:12and if it is, let's see how many people said David Speedie.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Oh, well, bad luck, but if ever there was a category
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and moment to get an incorrect answer,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21it really didn't matter less.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25I think you were going to have a job matching Dave Watson.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28That means after one question, Austin and Niall are up one-nil.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Richard.- Blimey, they're good, aren't they?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You're right, as well, there were two Dave Watsons who
0:31:33 > 0:31:36played for England, one largely in the '70s, one in the '80s.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39The chant, "There's only one Dave Watson" doesn't work!
0:31:39 > 0:31:43He's the only pointless answer up there. Dave Watson there on none.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45The former Liverpool and Ipswich striker David Johnson on one,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Dave Beasant, the goalie, had two caps, scored two.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49There's David Batty on 12.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Er, David Platt, 17. David James, 25.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56David Seaman, 41, and look at Beckham!
0:31:56 > 0:31:58David Beckham, 98 points, one of the
0:31:58 > 0:32:00highest scores we've ever had on Pointless.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02David Speedie is Scottish.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05That's a bit embarrassing!
0:32:05 > 0:32:08He's called David, though, and he's a footballer.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11And he's called Speedie, which is even better.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Thank you. OK, here is your second question.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Laura and Naomi, we need you to win this question,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19otherwise we have to say goodbye to you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28..as they could. Members of Pink Floyd.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Just gets better and better, doesn't it? Richard.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33We're looking for any person who's ever been
0:32:33 > 0:32:36a member of Pink Floyd up to the beginning of April 2011, please.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38There are six names on the list.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42OK. Now then, Laura and Naomi, you go first this time.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44THEY CONFER
0:32:52 > 0:32:54We're... Sorry, we're just going to make up a name!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56OK...
0:32:56 > 0:33:02Yeah, we're not holding huge hopes. We're going to go for David Strang!
0:33:02 > 0:33:05David Str...what a great made-up name, for heaven's sake!
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- That's brilliant! - He's called David! You know...!
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I want to give you a point for that, at least! David Strang!
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Austin and Niall, David Strang has gone!
0:33:16 > 0:33:19That was going to be our answer!
0:33:19 > 0:33:22We'll try, I think, is it Roger Waters? We'll try Roger Waters.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25We have Roger Waters, we have David Strang.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28David Strang, say Laura and Naomi. Is it right?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30How many people said David Strang?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Bad luck. An incorrect answer, which means, Austin and Niall,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40you merely have to be correct with Roger Waters.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Let's see if you are. Roger Waters.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Yep! You've done it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50And for what it's worth, it goes down to 34!
0:33:53 > 0:33:55But all you had to be was correct after David Strang!
0:33:55 > 0:33:58That means, after only two questions, Austin and Niall,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00you are through to the final. Well done. Richard.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Unlucky, Laura and Naomi, but when you come back next time,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Niall and Austin won't be here! That's the good news.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09David Strang, of course, he's the saxophonist in Genesis!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Oh, he does exist? - No, he's not really!
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Sorry. Let's take a look at all six answers.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20There's one good obscure answer here.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Bob Klose, who was the guitarist who left before their very first
0:34:23 > 0:34:25single, scored six points. Well done if you got that.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Rick Wright, who was the keyboardist, sadly passed away in 2008,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32he scored 18. Nick Mason, the drummer, 21. Dave Gilmour on 29.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Syd Barrett, the original frontman, on 30,
0:34:35 > 0:34:39and Roger Waters, actually the top answer on 34.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Thank you, Richard, so at the end of the Head-to-Head,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44the losing pair, I'm afraid it's Laura and Naomi.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Well you came up with two Davids, and you came up with one,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49well one incorrect answer
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and one just wonderfully made-up incorrect answer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55David Strang! The trouble is, I always like to pretend
0:34:55 > 0:34:56I know all the answers to everything,
0:34:56 > 0:35:00so when Richard said he was the saxophonist in Genesis, I was
0:35:00 > 0:35:03about to sort of put on a face and go, "Yes, I knew that!"
0:35:05 > 0:35:08It's awful! The great news is we'll see you next time,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11when there'll be no more questions on members of Pink Floyd.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13No more questions on footballers called David, and no more
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Austin and Niall cos they're going through to the final now.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21No excuse for you not to triumph next time, we'll look forward to that very much.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Meanwhile, thanks very much, Laura and Naomi, brilliant contestants.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:25 > 0:35:28But for Austin and Niall, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Massive congratulations, Austin and Niall.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You have fought off all the competition
0:35:41 > 0:35:43and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so well done!
0:35:47 > 0:35:51OK, you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59The rules are simple.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:36:01 > 0:36:04that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05We've had two pointless answers on the show,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08both of them were yours. You only have to find one more
0:36:08 > 0:36:10and you will leave here with that money.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13You've got to choose a category, from these three options.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14They are...
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Military's out. - What about theatre?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25If it's very wide as well, I would lean more towards Britpop.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27It'll have to be Britpop, yeah, out of those three.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We're going to go with Britpop.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32OK, you're going to go for Britpop. Very best of luck.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34OK, let's find out what that question is.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42..as they could. Blur Top 40 singles. Richard.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Yeah, we're looking for any single released by Blur that reached
0:36:45 > 0:36:47the UK Top 40 prior to May 2011, please.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55and all you need to win that £3,000 jackpot is for just
0:36:55 > 0:36:58one of the answers to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01This Charmless Man.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Song 2.- Beetlebum.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09- Yeah.- And...Country House is too well known. Boys and Girls?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Very well known. - Did they have recent stuff after...?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16The sort of mid-'90s, did they have later on? I can't remember.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Damon Albarn went, like the Gorillaz and that sort of stuff.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Erm...This Charmless Man, there's another one around that time.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Can't remember what it was. - Not really a big fan of Blur.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Well, I knew it was going to be Blur, Oasis, Pulp.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31It's got to be one of those three.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37We've got three anyway, Beetlebum, Song 2 and This Charmless Man.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Can't think of any other ones.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Will we use these last 20 seconds to think of any other ones?
0:37:43 > 0:37:44D'you want to phone a friend?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Can we phone a friend? No, I think we've got three.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50You have your three?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, well, we'll stop the clock there, then your time is now up.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55We were looking for Blur Top 40 Singles.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I now need your three answers. What are they?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00OK, we'll go for This Charmless Man.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- This Charmless Man. - Song 2.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Song 2.- And Beetlebum. - And Beetlebum.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Of those three, which d'you think is your best shot at a pointless?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- This Charmless Man? - This Charmless Man.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14OK, we'll put This Charmless Man third.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15What shall we put first?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Song 2?- Yeah, Song 2.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18OK, so Song 2.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20And the middle one, Beetlebum. OK...
0:38:20 > 0:38:23we'll put them up on the board in that order. Here they are!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32We were looking for Blur Top 40 singles.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win
0:38:35 > 0:38:37that jackpot of £3,000.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42OK, here is your first answer. Song 2. Is it right?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44How many people said Song 2?
0:38:48 > 0:38:49It's right.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53It's right. Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:38:53 > 0:38:57you will be leaving right now with £3,000 in your back pockets.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Down it goes, into...13.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Into the low teens.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's looking pretty good. That was Song 2.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Well, unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11You only have two chances left to win today's jackpot.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12What would you do with £3,000?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I'd like to go back to... I was in Florida a few years back,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20with my wife, but now I have a three-year-old daughter,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23so I'd love to take her there to see Mickey Mouse and everybody else.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Lovely. Lovely. How about you, Niall?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I've got a long hankering for travel,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29so I can take off again for a few weeks.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Maybe go back to Egypt, where I was a couple of years ago.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35OK, well let's hope one of these two remaining answers will let
0:39:35 > 0:39:36you do both of those things.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Your next answer is Beetlebum.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4413 people got Song 2. Beetlebum, surely a more obscure answer.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Surely.- It was a number one, but I'm not sure many people...
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- It was number one at a very quiet time of year.- Exactly, yeah!
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Let's hope so. - OK, this has to be pointless
0:39:54 > 0:39:56if you're going to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Let's see if it's right,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02and if it is, let's see how many people said Beetlebum.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11OK, so Song 2 went down to 13. Where is Beetlebum going to end up?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Down it goes. If this goes down to zero, you leave here with £3,000!
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Ohhhh!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24It's all going in the right direction. Six for Beetlebum!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Obviously not pointless, though.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Everything is resting on This Charmless Man.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39This was the answer you have the most faith in to be pointless.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42That's what it has to be if you're going to win this jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Is it right? How many people said it? This Charmless Man.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Very, very best of luck, Austin and Niall.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Ohhhhhh!
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Now, unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02We will discover... We will discover why.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:05 > 0:41:09answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000, which
0:41:09 > 0:41:12rolls over onto the next show, but you have been fantastic contestants.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Amazing contestants, and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Yes, it's what we came for, really.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Er, yeah, unlucky, guys.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27It's not This Charmless Man, you're maybe mixing it with
0:41:27 > 0:41:30This Charming Man by The Smiths, it's just called Charmless Man, I'm afraid.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Was it pointless? - Would have scored you one point.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Phew.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40So, in some ways a relief. Both of those singles you gave us,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42both of those were from the album Blur.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Both from 1997, both big hits. Let's look at the pointless answers,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48cos there's quite a few here, and I suspect you'll know some.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Bang, from their first album, that was pointless.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Chemical World, from Modern Life Is Rubbish,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56also pointless. Their penultimate single, Crazy Beat, pointless,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59from the Think Tank album. As was Good Song, that was from Think Tank.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02MOR Was from the same album, Blur, as your other two answers.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05The lovely No Distance Left To Run, that was a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Couple of Top Ten hits here. Out of Time,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10probably the best Blur single, that's just
0:42:10 > 0:42:14my opinion, and Stereotypes, another Top Ten single from the mid-'90s.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17And Sunday Sunday, another of their early songs.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Popscene, also pointless, and For Tomorrow also pointless.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Thank you very much. How many of those did you know?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27- None.- That's a relief.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Austin and Niall,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Thank you both so much for playing.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35APPLAUSE
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Nobody's won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over
0:42:38 > 0:42:41onto the next show, when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
