0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet the players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40First we welcome Alan and James. How do you two know each other?
0:00:40 > 0:00:43We're from Bristol and we met five years ago
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- when Alan joined the theatre company that I was a member of. - Ah! What were you doing?
0:00:47 > 0:00:53We've done lots of shows together. The last one we did was the stage version of Dad's Army.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Very good indeed. What do you do, Alan?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I work in sales and marketing.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03There's not really more you can say about that. At parties, someone says, "What do you do?"
0:01:03 > 0:01:07you give them an answer and that's the end of the conversation, they move on.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- LAUGHTER - James!
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- LAUGHTER - Marketing, as well. I do events, too,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17so I have to organise product launches, demonstrations, exhibitions.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Right. What's the most exciting event you've organised?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I organised quite a big stand at a major exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- so that was quite exciting. - Very good.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Do you think James would make a good motivational speaker?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- I think he would.- Very fluid style. - Good with his hands, as well. - Yeah, exactly.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Motivational speaker. - Career change, maybe.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Richard does offer a some-time careers advice thing on the side.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Is there anything you would suggest for me? I hesitate to ask.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51I think you would be good in sales and marketing. LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Motivational speaking, James. - I like that idea, talking to crowds, getting people hyped up.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yeah! - Will you try and motivate Alan?- OK.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Alan, you can do really well today. Are you going to win this show?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Alan, smile for me, you can do this, be positive. - Yes, we're going to win!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08There we are. Very, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I'm now motivated, as well. Thank you, that was superb.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14We welcome back Mary and Sophie. You were on the show last time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second. Remind us what happened.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26Erm, I kind of flaked on the "words ending in arm" question.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- So, yeah, hoping to do better today. - Bit of a high score there.- Yes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Mary, what do you like to do in your spare time?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Erm, I read a lot.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'm also really into my gardening at the moment.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Very good indeed. So a bit of horticulture wouldn't be bad, as well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Yeah. I'm not great on Latin names, though.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I just kind of know the English names for plants.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Sophie, any other strange things you like to do that you didn't mention last time?
0:02:53 > 0:02:59Not necessarily strange, but I enjoy going to the theatre,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04gigs with my friends. I also have a couple of friends that are in bands
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and that DJ, so I go and see them a bit.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- You follow them, as well. - Yeah.- Very good.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Very best of luck to the pair of you. Let's hope we see more of you than we did last time.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16And next we welcome back Laura and Naomi.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19You were also on the show last time. Remind us what happened.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, in fairness, we did lose to the better team,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25but we humiliated ourselves on the football question.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and failed to redeem ourselves on the Pink Floyd question.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Yeah, football and Pink Floyd, not the ideal categories for you. - Terrible.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Naomi, what do you like to do in your spare time? - Well, living in Edinburgh,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41we're quite lucky, we do very well for festivals, particularly the fringe festival,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43so that keeps us busy during summer months,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46there's lots of theatre and comedy that I enjoy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Laura, how about you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:54I love the festival, as well. I love films. We go to baby cinema quite often.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Baby cinema!- Yeah.- How fantastic! But they're adult films, are they?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- No, no, sorry... - LAUGHTER
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Let me rephrase that. They're not children's films.- Some of them are,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but the last one was quite gruesome, actually.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yeah, they generally aim the films at the parents
0:04:11 > 0:04:15but they have to be suitable enough for the children to be there.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- Fantastic. Well, it's great to have you back on the show, Laura and Naomi. Very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And finally we have got Jo and Danni. How do you two know each other?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I met this lovely lady about 30 years ago, but I don't really remember it,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and she's stuck around ever since, but mums have a habit of doing that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Where are you from, Danni?- We're from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Aylesbury. Jo, what would you like to see come up?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Food and drink would be great
0:04:39 > 0:04:44because we both love experimental cooking and like drinking wine.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Very good. Experimental cooking? What do you mean by that?
0:04:47 > 0:04:52I think the best experimental recipe I tried was turkey lasagne.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Unfortunately, nobody ate it. It was the most disgusting...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- You make a turkey mince?- Yeah. - I don't recommend it to anyone.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- A white mince? - It kind of goes to a mush,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- so you have a turkey mush. - Mmm! It just gets better and better.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Turkey mush! Mmm!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14It was essentially the worst Christmas ever. LAUGHTER
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Danni, what else would you like to come up?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Science I'm OK at. I did science at A-Level, so that'd be OK.- OK.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Musicals, theatre, we quite enjoy that.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- Books.- Yeah. 70s music for Mum would be fine. I'd be lost.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33OK. Well, let's hope some or all of those things will come up this afternoon.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41One person left to introduce. He's forever disappointed with evolution. It's just not fast enough.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- He is my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47APPLAUSE
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Afternoon to you.- Good afternoon to you.- Should be a good show today.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Two returning pairs. Laura and Naomi probably came up against the best pair of the whole series.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04Very unlucky in the Head-To-Head. We didn't see enough of Mary and Sophie, knocked out in the first round,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08so they could be a surprise package. I would say Round One will suit Mary today.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You'll be delighted to hear.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Round One is going to suit you, Mary.- It's making me nervous.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And me. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24We put our questions to 100 people before the show, but we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot, score as few points as you can.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000 to that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43So today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46APPLAUSE
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Right, let's play Pointless! - APPLAUSE
0:06:54 > 0:07:00In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- There you are, Mary.- Thank you. - Decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many trees as they could.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Trees, Richard. - The correct answers in this round will all be trees or shrubs
0:07:29 > 0:07:32that can be found growing wild in the United Kingdom.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35That's according to the Woodland Trust website.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41OK. Alan and James, you all drew lots before the show and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless
0:08:06 > 0:08:08and at least one of those answers is incorrect,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12so be careful not to pick one of those, because you'll score 100 points.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Now then, Alan, trees. Trees.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Is this good for you?- Really no.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Trees are not something I pay much attention to.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- They look nice, but names, no.- Mm.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28But I think that rather than risk going for 100 points,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I'm going to go for the one that is least likely of the ones I know
0:08:32 > 0:08:34which is cedar.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Cedar you are saying. Let's see if cedar is right,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and if it is, how many people said cedar.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- 15! - APPLAUSE
0:08:50 > 0:08:5415 not a bad score at all. 15 for cedar, Richard.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Good start, Alan. Not native to the UK, from Lebanon originally,
0:08:58 > 0:09:04but from the 18th century, every stately home had a cedar tree, that's when they became popular.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Very good. Sophie. - Yes.- We come to you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11There's a few on there that I think I've heard of.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- This is good.- Yeah.- This is good.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Erm, I think I'm going to go for rowan.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You're going to go for rowan.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22At the bottom. Let's see if it's right,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25and if it is, how many people said rowan.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It is right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- 20! - APPLAUSE
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- 20 for rowan. Richard. - Yeah, well played.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43The rowan tree. Has an association with magic and witchcraft, the rowan tree.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Laura. Remember, we're looking for British trees and shrubs.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50There's one up there that I definitely know,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and one that I think is right, but it's very risky,
0:09:54 > 0:09:59so I'm going to go for one that I hope is a tree. I'm going to go for aspen.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Aspen. Very good, Laura. Let's see if aspen's right, and if it is, how many people said aspen.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's right!
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Very well done indeed, Laura. That's a great answer and it scores you just one.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22APPLAUSE Yeah, very, very good answer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Much more popular in America. One of the most widely distributed trees in the United States, the quaking aspen.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- So then, Jo, we come to you. - Oh, dear.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Now then, you're the last person to have this board, so you can fill in all the blanks for us.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39There's one that I know that's left,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41but I think that's going to be fairly high,
0:10:41 > 0:10:46so I'm going to have a guess at the top answer, osier.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Osier.- I don't think it's right, but I'll have a go.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Osier says Jo. Naomi is nodding. I don't know if Naomi knows
0:10:52 > 0:10:56the first thing about trees, but she's nodding. Osier says Jo.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it. Very best of luck, Jo.- Thank you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04It's right!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I have a feeling this might be going all the way down.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Yes, it does! - APPLAUSE - That's brilliant, Jo!
0:11:13 > 0:11:19Very well done. That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to the jackpot, takes the total up to £4,250
0:11:19 > 0:11:23and it scores you nothing. Very well done indeed. Osier, Richard.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Well played, Jo. Great start to your Pointless career. It's been used for centuries for weaving.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32A very fast-growing tree. We'll hear more about it cos you can use it for biofuel.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- I suspect osier won't be pointless for long.- Very good.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Let's fill in the rest of the board. Everyone was quite right to avoid sycamore.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43That would've scored you 35 points. It's the highest answer on the board.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Other than wrong answers, of course. Those other two, pointless, wrong?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Well, the Tyburn Tree is famously where they used to hang people.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Absolutely right. It's a gallows in London, so that was incorrect. And gartner?
0:11:55 > 0:12:02I... I'm going to guess that you're in a generous mood today and you've put two pointless answers up there
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- and gartner is pointless. - Yeah, it's incorrect. LAUGHTER
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Gartner, a character from the German kids' TV show The Singing Ringing Tree.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Well, thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Jo and Danni looking brilliant on nothing.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Then we come up one point to where Naomi and Laura are.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Then up to 15, where Alan and James are.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30And then up to Sophie and Mary on 20. So all pretty close together.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36But, Sophie and Mary, you are unmistakably ahead, so Mary, you'll have to find a nice obscure tree
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and hope that's enough to see you through to the next round.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Splendid. We're going to put seven more answers on the board and here they are.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Remember, we're looking for trees and shrubs. And we've got...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Again, I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and at least one of them is incorrect.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Try and avoid those incorrect ones.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Danni, the high scorers are Mary and Sophie on 20. You're on nothing.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21If you can score 19 or less,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27There's quite a few on there that I know
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and I'm so glad that I wasn't on the other round,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33cos I would've picked a 100-pointer.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37On this one, I'll go with a monkey puzzle, cos there was one in our local park that we used to climb.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40OK, monkey puzzle. There is your red line.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44If you can get below that, you are safely through to the next round.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Let's see if monkey puzzle is right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Very well done! - APPLAUSE
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Eight points for monkey puzzle, takes your total up to eight.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Good answer, Danni. You can relax for the rest of the round. It's a conifer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It was originally from Chile and Argentina.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- Problem with that? - No, I was going to say, monkey puzzle, if I were a monkey,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19there'd be nothing remotely puzzling about that. It's pretty much straight up and down
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- with quite a lot of horizontal branches.- But it's very, very gnarled and twisty.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28But a monkey would go... That would puzzle a monkey for less than a second.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- It would go, "Ooh, ooh. Ahh, ooh, ooh." - LAUGHTER
0:14:31 > 0:14:37It's not a difficult puzzle. It's like an easy Sudoku. But it's still a puzzle. It'd look a little bit.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40OK, thank you very much. We come to you, Naomi.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Yes.- You're on one. The high scorers are still Mary and Sophie on 20.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48If you can score 18 or less, through you go to the next round.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I don't know a lot about trees.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53There are some familiar answers up there,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57but I think this is going to be quite a tight round.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'm going to go for silver birch.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03OK. Let's see. Silver birch. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Ooh! Not quite. Not quite. - APPLAUSE
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That scores you 21 and takes your total up to 22.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Richard.- Yeah, not quite, but pretty good answer, Naomi.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Silver birch is native to the UK. You can get silver birch wine in Scotland.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- I don't know if you've ever enjoyed a silver birch wine.- No.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Silver birch wine.- Made from the sap of the silver birch tree.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36It sounds revolting. Very good. Now then, Mary.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The high scorers are now Naomi and Laura on 22.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44You're on 20, which means if you can score one or less, you are through to the next round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47What does that board look like?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Well, I'm not sure about this one, but I'm going to go for it
0:15:51 > 0:15:53because I've got nothing to lose.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- The guelder rose.- There it is.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Let's see if guelder rose is right, and if it is, how many people said it. Best of luck.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Very well done, Mary. Look at that. Down it goes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Yes! That's superb! - APPLAUSE
0:16:13 > 0:16:17That has done exactly what it needed to. A pointless answer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It adds another £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,500.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It scores you nothing, Mary, and leaves your total at 20.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28You are through to the next round. Very well done. Richard.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Well played. That's better than last time.- It is.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Quite a common shrub in the UK with white flowers and red berries.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41- Thank you very much. Now, James. - Yes.- All to play for in this last answer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46The high scorers are Naomi and Laura on 22. You're on 15. You have to score six or less.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Yes. I'm in a bit of a predicament, because the top two answers,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52which are obvious, will be worth far more than the others.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56So I'm not going to go for one of those, even though I know they are both trees.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Which means I'm left with the other two in the middle.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04So it's going to be a 50/50 chance for me and I am going to go for...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- ..larkin.- You're going for larkin.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14- What do you think, Alan?- I'd have gone for grey willow, but as I said, I know nothing about trees.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said larkin.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22There's your red line. Below that, through to the next round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Above that, we say goodbye to you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Larkin.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Bad luck, James.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm afraid larkin is an incorrect answer. It sounds right.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40It sounds like it could be a tree. I knew monkey puzzle, as well,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- but it was just the way it fell. - It's got a bit of larch in it or something.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Anyway, sadly, it's incorrect. It scores you 100 points,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50takes your total up to 115, I'm afraid. Richard.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Sorry, James. Laura and Naomi are so nice,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55they really tried to pretend to look gutted there.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00There was just a little look on their faces. It was very kind of them.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Larkin. We chose that because one of his more famous poems is The Trees.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Philip Larkin, of course. And if you'd gone for grey willow,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11it was a pointless answer.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Sorry. It was 50/50, as you say.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20Grey willow is another name for the pussy willow. Prefers to be known as the grey willow, for some reason.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Let's take a look at the other two. The ash tree was the highest scorer on the board.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29That would've scored you 64. And the horse chestnut would've been 36.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32So the grey willow would've been the one to save you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38OK. Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score, Alan and James.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Now that was a motivational round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It was sad times. It's just the way it fell.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- Well, you did exactly the right thing only with the wrong answer. - Maybe next time.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Also, can I just commend you on your matching shirts? - Do you like that?- Yes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Very, very good indeed.- Thanks.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Please keep this up for next time. - We'll do our best for you.- Splendid.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06- Thanks very much, James and Alan. Great to have you on the show. - APPLAUSE
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But for the remaining pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17There's only room for two pairs in the Head-To-Head,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And whoever's first, step up to the podium.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37OK. So our question concerns...
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Film stars with alliterative names. Richard.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46We'll show you a list of six films on each pass.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51We asked 100 people to tell us which star of that film had an alliterative name,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55their first name and surname beginning with the same letter. Give us an obscure answer
0:19:55 > 0:20:00and you'll score fewer points, but a wrong answer scores 100.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03There'll be 12 films in all, 12 stars to guess at home.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You must have been in a film, have you?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I have, yeah. I haven't really starred in a film, though.- Oh, OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15But if we were to say your wedding video, the answer would be Alexander Armstrong, say.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I wasn't the star of that, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Oh, come on!- Yeah, yeah, I was.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- LAUGHTER You looked pretty good. - I looked pretty good.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29So then, we are looking for the alliterative film stars
0:20:29 > 0:20:33from these films. And here is our first list.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57There we are. What about those films, Mary?
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Well, I'm OK with two or three of them
0:21:02 > 0:21:08and the one I'm going to go with is Doris Day, Calamity Jane.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13Doris Day, Calamity Jane says Mary. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Very well done, Mary, 22. - APPLAUSE
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- Good answer. Doris Day, Richard. - Yeah, well played, Mary.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Or Doris Von Kappelhoff, which isn't alliterative, but she did change it, so...
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Laura.- Yep.- Laura. How many of these do you know?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I know two or three, but I'm having a complete blank for one of them.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46So I'm going to hope, I think the star of Charlie's Angels was Lucy Liu.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew Lucy Liu.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's right.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- 38. - APPLAUSE
0:21:58 > 0:22:0138 for Lucy Liu. Richard.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Yeah, well done, Laura. Came to fame in Ally McBeal, Lucy Liu.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Very good indeed. Now then, Danni. You're the last person to have this board
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- so you can talk us through all of the films and their stars. - There's two I have no idea,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Secrets & Lies and 48 Hours I've no idea.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21Rocky, obviously I know that one, that's Sylvester Stallone, but I'm going to go with Under Siege
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- and I think it's Steven Seagal. - Steven Seagal, Under Siege says Danni.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- 40. Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Right but quite a high score. 40 for Steven Seagal, Richard.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47Well, popular film, popular actor. He was a martial arts instructor before he became sort of an actor,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Steven Seagal. LAUGHTER
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Let's fill in the rest. You were right to avoid Rocky. Would've scored 75 points.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56It was Sylvester Stallone. The other two,
0:22:56 > 0:22:5848 Hours, do you know that one?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I can only think of Eddie Murphy. Who else is in it?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- It's Nick Nolte.- Nick Nolte. Good.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Don't see him around so much any more. 12 points.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- And the best answer on the board is Secrets & Lies.- Brenda Blethyn.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Brenda Blethyn. Would've scored you seven. Well done if you got that at home.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Very good. We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Mary and Sophie, the best answer of the pass, 22. Lovely low score.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Then up quite a way to 38, where we find Laura and Naomi.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30And then up a tiny bit to 40, where Danni and Jo currently are.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, yes, Jo and Naomi, it's between the pair of you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39You're going to have to tussle it out in this next pass to see who stays and who goes, I reckon.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49OK, we're going to put six more films on the board. And here they are.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Remember, we're looking for the alliterative film stars,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18film stars whose first name and second name begin with the same letter.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Jo, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I know a few of those films,
0:24:26 > 0:24:32but, erm, I think I'm going to go for The Sting and Robert Redford.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Robert Redford. You're the high scorers on 40,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37so you have to hope this goes down as far as it can.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Robert Redford. How many people said it, is it right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's right.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Wow, 17. - APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Best answer so far. 17 takes your total up to 57. Richard.
0:24:55 > 0:25:02Yeah, well played, Jo. He was nominated for Best Actor for his role as Johnny Hooker in The Sting.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Very good indeed. Now, Naomi, the high scorers are now Jo and Danni on 57. You're on 38.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11If you can score 18 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- What do you think of this board? - I could be in trouble.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I think I must spend too much time with the babies at baby cinema
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- and not enough time watching the films.- Have some of these not been on at baby cinema?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Strangely enough, no, we've missed some of these.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31There's two that I recognise, and I suspect they will both be popular answers,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but I wouldn't even have an educated guess for any of the others.
0:25:34 > 0:25:41So I'm going to go with Mike Myers for Wayne's World.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Mike Myers for Wayne's World. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- 45. - APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:5745 for Mike Myers, takes your total up to 83. Richard.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Yeah, born in Canada to British parents, Mike Myers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Started on Saturday Night Live, the Wayne's World sketches.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sophie.- Yes.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11The high scorers are now Naomi and Laura on 83.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16You're on 22, which means if you can score 60 or less, you are through to the Head-To-Head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:23OK. Erm, I was going to go for Mean Girls and Lindsay Lohan.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls.- Yes. - Very good. Here is your red line.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33- If you can get below that red line with Lindsay Lohan, you are in the Head-To-Head.- OK.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Let's see if it's right, Lindsay Lohan and Mean Girls. If it is, how many people said it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Absolutely right.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yep, you've done it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- 32 for Mean Girls. Takes your total up to 54. - APPLAUSE
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Richard.- Yeah, well played, Sophie, very good answer, Mean Girls.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Written by Tina Fey, also of Saturday Night Live fame and 30 Rock.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Let's take a look at the rest of the board, fill those in.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Some Like It Hot.- Marilyn Monroe.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Absolutely. That was the biggest score on the board, 52.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09The Gold Rush. The clue there is in the date, 1925.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Charlie Chaplin.- Absolutely right. Would've scored you 14.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17And Mrs Miniver. Mrs Miniver. Best answer up there.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- I don't know. - Would've scored you two points.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24She won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in this film,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- it was Greer Garson.- Ah.- Two points.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31She gave the longest acceptance speech of all time.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Wow.- Five and a half minutes she rabbited on about Mrs Miniver.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- That was in the war, as well. Like time wasn't precious! - LAUGHTER
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Wow. Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of the round,
0:27:44 > 0:27:50the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Laura and Naomi. Head-To-Head last time.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- Round Two this time.- Not so good. - Did you know any others on that board?- I only knew Marilyn Monroe
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- so I made the best of what I had.- I guess it was probably the right one.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Well, it was a very close round actually, in the end,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05but someone has to go and I'm afraid you are the high scorers.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It's been great having you on the show, Naomi and Laura.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Thanks for playing. Wonderful contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:15For the remaining pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the Head-To-Head.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Very well done, Jo and Danni, Sophie and Mary, you have made it through to the Head-To-Head.
0:28:26 > 0:28:34Only one pair can make it through to the final and play for the jackpot which currently stands at £4,500.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37APPLAUSE
0:28:37 > 0:28:43For each question each pair needs to give me just one answer but you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47All you need is an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win the question.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The first pair to win two questions plays for today's jackpot.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Here's your first question.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:29:02 > 0:29:07as many Commonwealth Games host cities as they could. Commonwealth Games host cities, Richard.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11We're looking for any city that has hosted the Commonwealth Games
0:29:11 > 0:29:15since they began as the Empire Games in 1930 all the way up to 2010, please.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Jo and Danni, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- THEY WHISPER - Birmingham?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- THEY WHISPER I- think it was Manchester.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- OK? - Yep. We can only come up with one. So fingers crossed that we're right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- And we're going to go with Manchester. - OK, Manchester you are saying.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Sophie and Mary? Cities that have hosted the Commonwealth Games.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51- We came up with a grand total of one answer, and we're hoping it's right, Melbourne.- Melbourne.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55OK, we have Manchester, we have Melbourne. In the order they were given,
0:29:55 > 0:30:01Jo and Danni said Manchester, let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03It's right.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13- APPLAUSE - There we are. 22. 22 for Manchester.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Now, Sophie and Mary have gone for Melbourne.
0:30:16 > 0:30:1922 is the score it has to go lower than.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Melbourne, let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- It is right.- Yes!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Oh, look at that.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Oh, and you win! - APPLAUSE
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Very close indeed, but 18 for Melbourne beats 22 for Manchester.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43So, after one question, Sophie and Mary are in the lead one-nil.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Richard.- Two good answers there. Let's take a look at all the answers.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51A couple of pointless ones. The first Empire Games were held in Hamilton.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Victoria in British Columbia held it in 1994,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56well done if you said either of those.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia would have scored you one.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Kingston, Jamaica and Christchurch, New Zealand score two.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Perth, Australia would have scored you three.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Edmonton, Canada four. Cardiff, Wales would have scored you five points.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Vancouver in Canada would have scored you six. Brisbane, Australia seven.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Auckland in New Zealand, one of only two cities to have held it twice, 11. Melbourne 18.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23Manchester 22. New Delhi, which was the 2010 Commonwealth Games, would've scored you 27.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Edinburgh, which has also held it twice, 28. Sydney 31.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32And London has only held it once in 1934 but still scored 47 points.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Thank you, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Jo and Danni, you have to win this question to stay in the game. Here it comes.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:31:43 > 0:31:47One Foot In The Grave characters as they could.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52- One Foot In The Grave characters. Richard.- We want any of the six named, credited characters
0:31:52 > 0:31:56who appeared in ten or more episodes of the BBC sitcom One Foot In The Grave.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01We're looking for the character names not the actors. First names alone will suffice.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04OK. Now, Sophie and Mary, you go first this time.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10THEY WHISPER
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Er, I must admit, I haven't really watched...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I'm aware of it, because who isn't?
0:32:19 > 0:32:24And consequently the only character I'm really familiar with is Victor.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27OK, Victor it is.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- OK.- We've never watched it, either. - No.- Never watched it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Right.- And that's about the only character we know. - That is the only character.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40- I know he has a wife in it. - Mrs Meldrew. - We haven't come up with a name.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Enid. I've no idea. Enid.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You're going for Enid. OK, we have Victor, we have Enid.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53Mary and Sophie have gone with Victor, let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Victor.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58It's right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- 67. - APPLAUSE
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Jo and Danni, this was the question you have to win to stay in the game.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09You're saying Enid. Let's see if Enid could do it for you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Is Enid right? And if it is, will it beat Victor?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24I'm afraid Enid an incorrect answer, which means Sophie and Mary, through to the final two-nil.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30- Well done indeed. Richard. - Unlucky, Jo and Danni. Tricky if you've never watched the programme.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Let's see all the answers. I suspect a lot of fans out there will have got a lot of these.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38The next-door neighbour with the bed-ridden mother who you never meet,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Nick Swainey, scored five points.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43The couple next door, Patrick Trench played by Angus Deayton, eight,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Pippa Trench played by Janine Duvitski, nine.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Mrs Warboys would have scored you 19.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Margaret Meldrew is his wife, not Enid, played by Annette Crosbie,
0:33:52 > 0:33:57that would have scored you 22. And Victor Meldrew, Richard Wilson, 67.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59And I can believe it.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- LAUGHTER - Can you now?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Very good. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11So the losing pair at the end of the Head-To-Head is Jo and Danni.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. You stormed it through. You've had a very good game so far.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- It was just Victor Meldrew that let us down, I think.- Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I wouldn't have known any answer apart from the one everyone gave.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28Yeah. Well, we will see you again next time and we'll look forward to it very much indeed.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Thanks so much, Jo and Danni. Brilliant contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:34:32 > 0:34:39But for Mary and Sophie, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £4,500.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:49Well, congratulations, Mary and Sophie, you've made it through to the final,
0:34:49 > 0:34:54you fought off all the competition, and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56APPLAUSE
0:34:58 > 0:35:01You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:01 > 0:35:05and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,500.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE
0:35:09 > 0:35:11The rules very are simple. To win the money,
0:35:11 > 0:35:17all you have to do is find a pointless answer, that's one that none of our 100 people thought of.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22We've had two pointless answers on the show today. In fact, Mary, you came up with guelder rose.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Just find one more and you will go home with that money. First, choose a category.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You can choose from these three options.
0:35:35 > 0:35:42- What do you think? Crime Fiction? - Crime Fiction or Theatre. - Cos you read quite a lot of crime.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- And you do, too, don't you?- Yeah.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49- Crime Fiction.- Crime Fiction it's going to be. OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:35:52 > 0:35:59to name as many Agatha Christie Marple and Poirot novels as they could. Richard.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03We're looking for any Agatha Christie novel featuring Miss Marple or Poirot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:10Plays or short story collections are not allowed. So any novel featuring Poirot or Miss Marple.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- OK.- Thank you, Richard. OK, you now have up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20All you need to win that £4,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28- OK.- I don't think we should go for...- Death On The Nile.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Yeah, OK. So what should we go for? Do you know any?
0:36:32 > 0:36:39- Murder In The Library. - Yeah? OK.- I think.- I've never heard of that one. So that's a good one.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Something at the ABC.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Monkeys? Is there something with monkeys?
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Erm, oh, OK.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56- I'm trying to think of all the David Suchet...- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- ..Poirots, but my mind has gone blank. Can you think of any more? - No.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Something about races. Races or poison or...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12My mind's gone blank.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Er, erm, OK, think of all the...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- We've got six seconds. - Five seconds left.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- Er, I think Murder In The Library. - Yeah.- And that's it.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25OK, there is your minute up.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29You were looking for Agatha Christie Poirot or Miss Marple novels.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I now need three answers from you.
0:37:32 > 0:37:38- Oh, no! - Well, we've come up with Murder In The Library.- Murder In The Library.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Murder On The Orient Express. - Murder On The Orient Express.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Death On The Nile. - And Death On The Nile.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49There we are. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- Possibly Murder In The Library... - Murder In The Library.- ..cos we know the other two are really popular.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59We'll put Murder In The Library third, then. Which is your least likely, do you think?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- The Orient Express. - Yeah. I think so.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06So we'll put the Orient Express first. We'll put them up on the board in that order. Here we go.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19OK, we were looking for Agatha Christie Poirot and Miss Marple novels.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21This was your least confident answer.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that £4,500 jackpot.
0:38:25 > 0:38:31Let's see. Murder On The Orient Express, let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37It's right. Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:38:37 > 0:38:41you'll be leaving here with £4,500.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- So not a pointless answer.- No. - You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54What would you do with £4,500, Mary?
0:38:54 > 0:39:00I think I'd use it to visit my brother in Australia, actually. Yes.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06- Very good. Sophie?- Put my mother out of her misery and move out of home. - LAUGHTER
0:39:06 > 0:39:13OK, well, let's hope one of these answers will win it for you. £4,500 riding on Death On The Nile.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Yes, it's right. Murder On The Orient Express scored you 40,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25let's see if Death On The Nile can go down further for you.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Down it goes, into the 30s. This is all looking much better.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- 21. - APPLAUSE
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Well, you put them in exactly the right order.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40You almost halved your total from the first answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- Do you think this is right? - I hope so. - THEY LAUGH
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Murder In The Library. Have you read it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Erm, no, but I bought my friend the mug.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59My friend and I are big Agatha Christie fans,
0:39:59 > 0:40:04so I know there's definitely a title called Murder In The Library.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- One of those...- Penguin Classics. - ..Penguin Classic mugs.- Yeah.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10It's orange, isn't it, that mug, I believe?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Green.- Oh, it's green. Oh! - LAUGHTER
0:40:13 > 0:40:16See how little I know.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Pride And Prejudice is orange. - There you go. - Cos we've got that one, haven't we?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23OK so you're pretty sure about this.
0:40:23 > 0:40:29- I don't want to...- It's just whether or not it's pointless. OK, £4,500 is riding on it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34You are saying Murder In The Library. There it is at the bottom of the screen.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38This is your last shot at that £4,500 jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40It has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43If it's both of those things, you leave here with £4,500.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Let's see. Murder In The Library, is it right?
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- Oh, bad luck!- You made that mug up! - APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:04 > 0:41:10so I'm afraid you don't go home with today's jackpot of £4,500, which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15But you have been fantastic contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Let's first solve the mysterious mystery of the mug.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28- Yes.- It's The Body In The Library. - The Body In The Library. Agh!
0:41:28 > 0:41:34But would've scored you four points. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37A couple of Marple books, A Caribbean Mystery and At Bertrams Hotel.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42Evil Under The Sun, the Poirot mystery film with Peter Ustinov, that was pointless.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Hickory Dickory Dock, which in America was called Hickory Dickory Death. Great name for a book.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52Sleeping Murder, Miss Marple's last case. Taken At The Flood, another Poirot mystery.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56All pointless. The Mysterious Affair At Styles, Poirot's first ever case.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59They Do It With Mirrors was another pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04And Three Act Tragedy. Very well done if you got any of those at home. And unlucky. You played so well.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Tough last category but you were so close.- Thanks very much.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Did you know any of those? Yes, you did, by the sound of things.- Yes.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14It's so much easier when you see the answers.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Isn't it?- It is. - LAUGHTER
0:42:17 > 0:42:21More than having to dredge through the memory.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Always hard when there's a clock ticking. That doesn't help.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29We do have to say goodbye to you, Mary and Sophie. It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35- Thank you both so much for playing. Brilliant contestants. Very good. - APPLAUSE
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Nobody has won our jackpot today so it rolls over, which means on the next show,
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- we will be playing for £5,500. - APPLAUSE
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Join us to see if someone can win. Till then it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- ..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
