0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless
0:00:27 > 0:00:33where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Welcome, Pat and Tony. You're our first pair on the show. How do you two know each other?
0:00:41 > 0:00:47- I'm Pat and this is my youngest son, Tony.- Where have you come from? - Leytonstone in East London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- APPLAUSE - Very popular choice amongst the audience!
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- Tony, how about you?- This is my mum and I've moved out of London.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- I'm from Chelmsford in Essex. - APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Yes. Are we going to do this after every place?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Tony, what do you do? - I'm a civil servant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12- Can I ask which department of the civil service? - Yeah, I work for the prison service.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- I see. Pat, how about you? - I'm a retired dogsbody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21A retired dogsbody. And how many years of dogsbodying have you...?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Oh, about 40.- Right. Any favourite moments in the dogsbodying?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Yes, I certainly liked doing wardrobe.- Wardrobe?- In theatricals.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- You did theatrical wardrobe? - Yes.- Very good indeed.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- Whereabouts?- Mainly at seaside pantomimes, Blackpool, Chesterfield, places like that.- Very good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- That must have been enormous fun. - It was great fun.
0:01:43 > 0:01:50- What would you like to see come up this afternoon, Pat?- EastEnders.- It does from time to time. Very good.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56- Tony, what would you like to see come up?- Some history, some sport. Definitely football.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02- Anything to do with food because I like it - eating it and cooking it.- Very good.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10- Next we welcome Jonny and Stephen. Where are you two from? - From Blackwood in Gwent.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- How do you know each other?- We've been friends since primary school.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20We went through secondary school together, played football with each other and for Cardiff City Academy.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26Stephen became a professional footballer, I went into the armed forces. Now we're back home, retired!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- We're doing something we don't really want to do.- What do you do, Stephen?
0:02:30 > 0:02:37I'm a retained firefighter and I'm hoping to go to university in September to do Physiotherapy.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And the football, is that just a sideline now?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I'm still playing part-time in the Welsh Premier League,
0:02:44 > 0:02:50but I'm 30 now, so my knees are starting to pack in and I'm getting a bit of a belly.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Hence the physiotherapy?- Yeah, I'm very interested in physiotherapy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And Jonny, are you still in the armed forces?
0:02:57 > 0:03:03No, I left the armed forces after six years. I joined in 2000 and left in 2006 to be with my family.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Now I'm an electrician working out of Cardiff.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- So were you with Signals? - Royal Signals, yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13What would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Anything to do with sport, football mainly. We're both strong at that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Pop music. Random pop music.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Any era of pop music you want to pick out?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- '90s. We do have a bit of trivia '90s, yes.- Very good.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- Stephen, how about you? - Sport, obviously.- Football, you're going to be hard to beat on that.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Science and a bit of geography.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.- Thanks very much.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Next we welcome Libby and Lotti. How do you two know each other?
0:03:44 > 0:03:51Lotti started dating my fiance's ex-flatmate and we just sort of started to hang out.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Brilliant. Excellent. OK, good. - It's like a relationship sudoku, isn't it?- Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- How long ago was that? - About a year ago?- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06You only met a year ago and already you feel up to doing Pointless together. How interesting!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11We love Pointless. I had a day off work and went, "Have you seen this quiz show? It's awesome."
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- You went, "It is."- We watch it every day.- You watch it regularly?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Yes.- Very good. Lotti, you'll be familiar with it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22What's the sort of question you've seen on Pointless
0:04:22 > 0:04:26and you think, "If that came up, we would go through to the final"?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I saw one where you had to name authors of children's books and I knew all of those.
0:04:31 > 0:04:38- They come up from time to time. - And anything about cooking.- Do you cook a lot?- We do.- We cook together.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Welcome to the show. Very best of luck.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Finally, we welcome Dee and Colin back to the show. Everyone gets two chances to reach our final.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Remind us what happened last time.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54We did brilliantly in the first round and we thought we were in with a good shot here,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58but with the placing in the second round, they stole my answers.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- These were fictional places and their authors.- That's right.- Yes.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Dee, what will come up that's good for you? - I'm quite happy with movies.
0:05:07 > 0:05:13- Any music, '70s, '80s and '90s. A bit of rugby. We like our rugby. - We'd like a rugby question.
0:05:13 > 0:05:20As we discovered last time, you not only met bowling, bowling has sort of become your lives.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You coach people in bowling.- We do.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- What do you do when you're not bowling?- A bit of photography.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30We're part of the RSPB. We joined that this year,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34so we combine the two, going round the bird sanctuaries.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- You photograph birds?- Photographing, yeah.- Very, very long lenses? - Yeah, long lens.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Very best of luck with that and this afternoon, Colin and Dee.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46We'll find out more about all of you as we go along.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51There's only one person left to introduce. He is our beacon in the twilit world
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- of the half-known and the ill-remembered. He is my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Hiya.- How are you, Richard? - I'm very well. Did you say "twilight"?- Twilit.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10- I thought you said "toilet".- No, twilit.- I thought you were accusing me of being in a toilet world.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14On this one occasion, I'm not accusing you of that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20We've only got one returning pair. That's Dee and Colin who did pretty well last time.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22They taught us how to tenpin-bowl.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Do you remember your finishing position?- That?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27No, it's that, isn't it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- Where does that hand go?- It comes up to my ear.- That's right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Perfect.- Look at that! - Spot-on.- That's it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Love it.- Oh, look at that. Yes!
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Thanks very much, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people,
0:06:45 > 0:06:50but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get. To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54all our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer
0:06:57 > 0:07:01and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07so today's jackpot starts off at £6,500.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09APPLAUSE
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Right, let's play Pointless.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score 100 points.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51OK, let's find out what our first question is. Here it comes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:53 > 0:08:00to name as many solo artists with a UK number one album in the 1990s as they could.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Solo artists in the 1990s with a UK number one album. Richard?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yeah, any solo artist who's had a number one album in the UK charts
0:08:07 > 0:08:12from the very beginning of 1990 to the very end of 1999.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18Greatest hits albums will count, live albums will count. The only rule is it must be a solo artist.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Thank you very much, Richard. Pat and Tony, you all drew lots before the show
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and this afternoon, you go first.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30So, Pat, solo artists with a UK number one album in the 1990s?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I'm a '60s girl myself, but I'll take a punt on Cliff Richard.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Cliff Richard.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- You're just hoping any decade from about the 1840s on...- That's right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- I was around then(!) - Cliff Richard, you're going to say.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Very well done, Pat.
0:08:56 > 0:08:579.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59APPLAUSE
0:08:59 > 0:09:03That's a brilliant answer. 9 for Pat for Cliff Richard.
0:09:03 > 0:09:10Well played, Pat. Cliff Richard will never let you down. In 1993, he had a number one with The Album.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Splendid. Now then, Stephen, the 1990s, good period for you?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- It was.- That's what you said.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21A few going on in my head at the moment, some obvious ones,
0:09:21 > 0:09:26but I'm going to take a bit of a gamble, I think, and go with, um...
0:09:26 > 0:09:32I'm not sure if he's definitely had a number one album, but I'm going to go with Peter Andre.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Peter Andre. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it - Peter Andre.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's right. Very well done, Stephen.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's brilliant. Look at that!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Pointless! Great answer. Very well done, Stephen.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57It adds £250 to today's jackpot and it takes the total up to £6,750.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed, Stephen.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Well played, Stephen. Peter Andre has released a pointless album.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- LAUGHTER - Who'd have thought?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11In 1996, he had a number one hit with Natural.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- There you go. - They weren't all good, the '90s.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16No. There we go.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22- Now then, Lotti.- Yes. - 1990s UK number one albums by solo artists.- I was very young.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I'm not very good at this.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31I'm struggling with solo artists. I can think of hundreds of bands from when I was a child,
0:10:31 > 0:10:37but not any solo artists. I had one, but I'm not sure if it was 2000 or 1999.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43So I'm going to go with Dido, but I'm not sure at all.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Dido...
0:10:44 > 0:10:50Let's see if Dido is right and if it is, let's see how many people said Dido. Very best of luck, Lotti.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Bad luck.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00I'm afraid Dido is an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:11:00 > 0:11:06- Richard?- Unlucky, Lotti. Dido has had two number one albums, both in the noughties.- Oh...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Now then, Dee, I think you might have a blinder.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Not so much a blinder. I'm racking my brain because I'm really a '70s and '80s girl.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But, uh...
0:11:19 > 0:11:25There's one artist that I know has been quite prolific over many of the decades.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I'm going to plump for Phil Collins. - Phil Collins?- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Phil Collins, says Dee for the '90s.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Phil Collins.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Well done, Dee. That's a brilliant answer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Come on.- And down and down it goes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Look at that - 2. That's amazing!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48APPLAUSE
0:11:48 > 0:11:53That's a fantastic answer, Dee. 2 for Phil Collins. Richard?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Yeah, very well played, Dee. He had three number one albums in the '90s.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Greatest Hits, Both Sides and But Seriously which was very early on in that decade.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Thank you. Let's look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Best score of the pass, Stephen and Jonny, looking fantastic on nothing,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15then we go up to 2 where we find Dee and Colin,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17then up to 9 and Pat and Tony.
0:12:17 > 0:12:23- And then I failed.- Then we go up to 100, I'm afraid, Lotti. Lotti and Libby on 100.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29Libby, you'll have to find a brilliant answer on the next pass and hope somebody else trips up.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35Otherwise, we'll have to say goodbye to you. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:12:37 > 0:12:42OK, we are looking for solo artists who had a UK number one album in the 1990s.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49- Colin, how well did Dee do there? - Fantastic. Unfortunately, she stole the answer I had lined up.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54But I think I'm going to take another punt, another survivor of an earlier band.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And I'm going to go with Sting.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Sting...- He was pretty prolific as well.- He certainly was.
0:13:01 > 0:13:08Sting, you say. There's your red line. If you get below that red line with Sting, you're home and dry.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Very well done. You've done it, Colin.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh, and you have done it. Look at that!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Fantastic. 3.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- APPLAUSE - Very well done, Colin.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25That takes your total up to 5.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Well played, Colin. He had a number one in 1991 with Soul Cages,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34also later in the decade, a Greatest Hits, but that was with The Police. Soul Cages, '91.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40Libby, we are looking for solo artists who had a UK number one album in the 1990s.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45You know what you have to do. We need preferably a pointless answer from you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:52I thought of one about a minute ago, but I'm taking a bit of a gamble. I'm going to say Ricky Martin.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Ricky Martin... There's no red line for you. You have to hope you'll go as low as you can.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Let's see if Ricky Martin will do it for you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Is it right, how many people said it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06No!
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Unfortunately, a wrong answer, I'm afraid, Libby, which means you score the maximum of 100 points
0:14:12 > 0:14:17which takes your total up to 200 points, I'm sorry to say. Richard?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Libby, the bad news is Ricky Martin didn't have a No.1 album in the '90s
0:14:21 > 0:14:27but the good news is Ricky Martin didn't have a No.1 album in the '90s!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31OK, now then, Jonny. Stephen scored nothing, absolutely nothing.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Do you think you can equal his score?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I don't know. I don't want to sort of commit myself.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I think I'll go with Gabrielle.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48Gabrielle, says Jonny. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54There's no red line because even if you score 100, you still won't overtake Libby and Lotti's 200.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Gabrielle, is it right, how many people said it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh!
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Bad luck. An incorrect answer. That scores you 100, but you are through to the next round.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Richard?- Good risk to take, given you were definitely through already.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14She did have a couple of top ten albums in the '90s.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Tony, you are also through to the next round. Whatever you score,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22you will not overtake Libby and Lotti on their high score of 200.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Why not have a punt and see if you can find another pointless answer?
0:15:26 > 0:15:31I couldn't think of anything, being an '80s boy. That was my time for music.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35But being as I was a Whammy, I'll go with George Michael.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40You're saying George Michael. Again no red line, Tony. You are through, come what may.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:5214.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- APPLAUSE - 14 for George Michael. It takes your total up to 23. Richard?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well played, Tony. He had three No.1 albums in the '90s -
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Listen Without Prejudice, Older and a Greatest Hits collection.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09There's a whole bunch of pointless answers up here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill, Bruce Springsteen had a couple of No.1 albums,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Diana Ross had a Greatest Hits.
0:16:17 > 0:16:24Enya with Shepherd Moons, Fatboy Slim, You've Come A Long Way, Baby, Jane McDonald had a No.1 album.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Meat Loaf, Morrissey with Vauxhall And I, and Prince had two No.1s as well.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34- We've heard Peter Andre, just added £250 to the jackpot. - What about the high scorers?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Let's take a look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:38 > 0:16:45Madonna on 19. Tied at the top, Robbie Williams would have scored you 20, as did Michael Jackson.
0:16:45 > 0:16:52Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score is Libby and Lotti.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- But what a score! - At least we failed equally. - At least we did it brilliantly.
0:16:57 > 0:17:04You did incredibly well. You are now members of that august body of people known as the 200 Club.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Yes!- So a very, very warm welcome to that. We will see you next time.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14In the meantime, thank you very much for playing. Libby and Lotti, lovely having you on the show.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will leave us at the end of this round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Try and make sure it's not you. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48And our question concerns...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Richard?- On each pass, we'll show you the names of six countries
0:17:55 > 0:17:59as they're known in their own native languages.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03We asked 100 people to tell us the English name of that country.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08An obscure answer will score fewer points, but an incorrect answer will score 100.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- There will be 12 in all. Very best of luck at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So we are looking for the English names of these countries.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I will read those one more time.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38There are the countries in their own languages. We need the English names for them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You want to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Now then, Tony, how does that look to you?
0:18:45 > 0:18:51I watch a lot of international football, so, yeah, I've got the translations on there, I know a few.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57I'm happy. I'll go with Magyarorszag as Hungary.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Magyarorszag, Hungary. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05It's right. Very well done, Tony.
0:19:09 > 0:19:1034.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12APPLAUSE
0:19:12 > 0:19:1434.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18I imagine football has taught 34 out of our 100 people that as well.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24Yeah, I remember these from my sticker annuals when I was a kid, all the World Cup sticker annuals.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Magyarorszag, the Mighty Magyars, the Hungarian football team.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34Thank you very much. Now then, Jonny. Jonny, again football is a keen interest of yours.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I imagine you're having no problem at all with this board.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43I've got two safe ones and one I possibly know just from a bit of history,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45just recognising an end of a word.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I'm going for the one which I'm not quite sure on.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I'm going for Oesterreich and I think it's Germany.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Oesterreich, Germany, you're saying.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer - Oesterreich, Germany.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Bad luck, Jonny. That's an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- Richard?- I won't give the correct answer in case Colin wants to have a go at that one.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21Colin, you can fill in all the gaps if you like, then submit your favourite one as your answer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27As the boy said, there's a couple of obvious ones - Italia, Italy, and Polska, Poland.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I've got an idea Ellas might be Greece and Sverige might be Sweden,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36but I'm going to go with Oesterreich as Austria.
0:20:36 > 0:20:43Oesterreich, Austria. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Austria for Oesterreich.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yes!
0:20:46 > 0:20:4768.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- APPLAUSE - 68, quite a high score.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Richard?- Yeah, a pretty big score. Gives Jonny and Stephen some hope.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59You'd have been better off with the other two answers you gave.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Sverige, which is Sweden, would have scored you 51,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06and Ellas, which is Greece, would have scored you 16.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- I just wasn't quite sure.- Yeah. Sometimes written "Hellas" as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Those other two certainly are obvious. Polska, Poland, would have scored you 96.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And one of those rarest of rare things on Pointless,
0:21:18 > 0:21:25- Italia for Italy would have scored you 100. We don't have that very often.- We certainly don't, no.
0:21:25 > 0:21:32Thank you. We're halfway through, so let's look at the scores. Tony and Pat look strong on 34.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Double that and we end up at 68 with Colin and Dee.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40And then up a little bit more to Jonny and Stephen on 100.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46So, Stephen, you need a really good obscure answer to save your bacon and even may not be enough.
0:21:46 > 0:21:53Very best of luck. We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their places?
0:21:53 > 0:21:59OK, we're going to put six more countries in their native language on the board.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- And we have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'll read those one more time.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Remember, we are looking for the English names of these countries
0:22:18 > 0:22:24and you want the one the fewest people knew. Dee, the high scorers are on 100.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29You're on 68. If you can score 31 or less, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34There's two or three I'm fairly certain of and a quite obvious one.
0:22:34 > 0:22:41- I'm going to go for Nippon, which I think is Japan.- Nippon, Japan. Let's see if it's right
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and how many people said it. Here's your red line.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Below that you are through. Nippon - how many people said that?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Oh, 61. - But it was right.- It was right.
0:22:56 > 0:22:5861 takes your total up to 129.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Will that be enough to see you through? Richard?
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Yes, it's going to be a close one. Nippon. Japanese scholars coined the phrase
0:23:08 > 0:23:11meaning "origin of the sun".
0:23:11 > 0:23:18OK. Now, Stephen, we're looking for the English names of these countries and the high scorers now
0:23:18 > 0:23:23are on 129. You're on 100, which means if you can find an answer
0:23:23 > 0:23:29- that scores you 28 or less, you are through.- Yeah. There's a couple that are obvious.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33There's one I'm going to go for. It's a stab in the dark, really.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38I'm not 100% sure, so I could be completely wrong and look a fool,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43but I'm going to go for Suomi as Somalia.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Suomi, Somalia, you're saying.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Here's your red line. Quite low. Get below that and you're through.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Is it right?
0:23:59 > 0:24:05Bad luck, Stephen. I'm afraid that's incorrect and you score the maximum 100 points.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- That takes your total up to 200. An unbeatable 200. Richard? - You had to go for it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15I won't give the correct answer in case Pat wants a go at that one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Now, Pat, you are through.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21However, for fun,
0:24:21 > 0:24:27- submit the answer you'd like to give. - I'm going to go for Suomi, Finland.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Suomi, Finland, says Pat. - From my stamp album.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Very good. No red line. Let's see, though, if Suomi is Finland.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It is. That's a great answer, Pat.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Down it goes to 25.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Takes your eventual score up to 59.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53- Richard?- Yeah, very good answer. From your stamp collection? - That's right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Who said philately would get you nowhere?
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Let's take a look at the rest. Espana, Spain, would have scored 96 points. Deutschland, Germany.
0:25:02 > 0:25:08It would have scored 85. Rossiya, unsurprisingly, is Russia. Another big score with 79.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- Hrvatska, because they've qualified for a World Cup...- Croatia.- It is.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Very well done. Nine points. Well done if you got that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23Thanks, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score is Stephen and Jonny. Bad luck there.
0:25:23 > 0:25:29- Osterreich. The minute you heard someone say Austria... - It was obvious then.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35I'm so sorry. However, we will see you again next time and see much more of you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39In the meantime, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:25:49 > 0:25:56Very well done, Pat and Tony, Dee and Colin. You've made it through to the Head to Head.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £6,750.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, but you are allowed to confer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Just come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK. Here is your first question.
0:26:29 > 0:26:35We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Best Picture Oscar winners of the 21st century
0:26:35 > 0:26:41- as they could. Richard? - We're looking for the full title of any movie awarded Best Picture
0:26:41 > 0:26:46at an Oscar ceremony between the years of 2000 and 2011.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49See how many you get at home.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Thank you very much, Richard. Pat and Tony, you've played best and get to go first.
0:26:58 > 0:27:05- Yeah, we've got one.- OK, what do you say?- Million Dollar Baby. - Million Dollar Baby.
0:27:05 > 0:27:11- OK, now then, Dee and Colin... - We're struggling a bit, to be honest.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15We're going to try a risky one. Saving Private Ryan.
0:27:15 > 0:27:22Saving Private Ryan. OK, we have Million Dollar Baby and Saving Private Ryan.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Million Dollar Baby. Is that right?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Oh, it's very good. Look at that - three!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Very well done, Pat and Tony.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Excellent answer. Three for Million Dollar Baby.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Saving Private Ryan say Dee and Colin. It has to be right and then it has to beat three.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Here we go. Saving Private Ryan. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Ohh...
0:28:00 > 0:28:07Bad luck. I'm afraid that's wrong. That means Pat and Tony are up one-nil. Richard?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Saving Private Ryan was too early and Shakespeare In Love won that year.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18Million Dollar Baby was in 2004. Clint Eastwood won Best Director, Hilary Swank won Best Actress
0:28:18 > 0:28:24and Morgan Freeman won Best Supporting Actor. Let's look at al the winners.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30There's a pointless answer - The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36American Beauty would have scored one, No Country For Old Men two,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Million Dollar Baby on three, as is Chicago and A Beautiful Mind.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44There's The Departed on three, Crash on four,
0:28:44 > 0:28:50Slumdog Millionaire seven, Hurt Locker 10, Gladiator 11 and The King's Speech on 46.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here is your second question.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00Dee and Colin, you have to win this. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:00 > 0:29:05to name as many Sebastian Faulks novels as they could. Richard?
0:29:05 > 0:29:12Any full-length novel written and published by Sebastian Faulks prior to May, 2011.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16No short stories or anthologies. Just his full-length novels.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20OK, Dee and Colin, you go first this time.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25This will be a fairly short round. Neither of us know any Sebastian Faulks novels.
0:29:25 > 0:29:31- Not read anything by him at all. - A Day At The Seaside.- I don't know.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33A Day At The Seaside.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- No idea.- Pat and Tony, a Sebastian Faulks novel.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40We don't know one, either!
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Can't even guess at one.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Murder.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- A Day At The Seaside and Murder. - LAUGHTER
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- This subject is murder!- OK...
0:29:53 > 0:29:58So, Dee and Colin, A Day At The Seaside by Sebastian Faulks.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Let's see if that's right and how many people thought so.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04No.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08What about Murder by Sebastian Faulks?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- Congratulations. We're as good as each other!- OK.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21After two questions, Pat and Tony still up one-nil. Richard?
0:30:21 > 0:30:27Poor old Sebastian Faulks. Sitting at home thinking, "I like Pointless."
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- "I'll have a break from my...seventh novel."- Eleventh novel.- Eleventh!
0:30:32 > 0:30:38- "I'll settle down and watch Pointless."- He shouts to the family and presses Pause.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43"They're doing me on Pointless! I wonder what they'll say.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48"Which of my novels do they like best?" The whole family coming down the stairs.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52"What is it?! You're on Pointless! Quick! Dad's on Pointless!
0:30:52 > 0:30:59- "Quick!"- Fifteen of the Faulks clan now all sitting there on sofas. He's just pressing un-Pause.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05He's on live replay. "Everyone now, absolute quiet. Ssh! Dim the lights.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11- "Pull the curtains, dim the lights. There's a reflection on the screen." - "Ring everyone we know!"
0:31:11 > 0:31:16"I can't see Tony's face when he's going to say my novel."
0:31:18 > 0:31:21And then...look what you did!
0:31:23 > 0:31:30- Rub it in a bit more! - I thought he played for Man United! - Midfielder, yeah. He's good.
0:31:30 > 0:31:38That's not helping! You're thinking of Sebastian Veron! Let's take a look at...
0:31:38 > 0:31:42The good news for Sebastian Faulks is there's no pointless answers.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48Two for On Green Dolphin Street, Girl At the Lion D'Or and Fool's Alphabet were three,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53Devil May Care, his James Bond novel, scored four, as did A Trick of The Light.
0:31:53 > 0:32:00Engleby scored six, A Week In December seven, Human Traces eight, Charlotte Gray 12, Birdsong 17.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Sorry, Sebastian. Sorry, Sebastian's family.
0:32:04 > 0:32:11OK, well, here's your third question. Again, Dee and Colin, you have to win this one.
0:32:11 > 0:32:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many UK cities beginning with C as they could.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24- UK cities beginning with C.- Any of the seven officially recognised cities that begin with C.
0:32:24 > 0:32:30- See how many you can get at home. - OK, Pat and Tony, you go first again this time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:39- Well, we know all the popular ones. We're trying for something low. - Are they cities or big towns?
0:32:39 > 0:32:46- That's the faultline in this one. - And they don't need a cathedral any more to be a city.- Canterbury.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Yes, go on, then.- Canterbury.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Canterbury. Canterbury say Pat and Tony.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Dee and Colin, a city beginning with C?
0:32:56 > 0:33:02We think probably Coventry is a correct answer, but it might score higher.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07The other thing we are thinking is maybe Chester, but now...
0:33:07 > 0:33:12I'm concerned that that might not be a correct answer.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Coventry's football. Coventry City Football Club.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Do we go out in a blaze of glory with Chester?- Yeah.- We'll take a punt on Chester.- We'll be brave.
0:33:23 > 0:33:30You're going to go for Chester. We have Canterbury and we have Chester.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36OK, Pat and Tony went with Canterbury. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38It's right.
0:33:41 > 0:33:4342.
0:33:44 > 0:33:4642.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51So the question really is whether or not Chester is a city.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- You think if it's right it will go lower?- Hopefully.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Is Chester right and, if it is, how many people said it? Good luck.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03It's right!
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Can it...? Oh!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Oh, ho, ho!
0:34:08 > 0:34:1049.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18Wow. So Canterbury beat Chester. Many congratulations, Pat and Tony.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22You are through after three questions, two-nil. Richard?
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Unlucky, Dee and Colin. Two answers would have beaten Canterbury.
0:34:27 > 0:34:34Seven in all. See how well you've done. Chichester in West Sussex would have scored you 17.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Carlisle would have scored 39. Canterbury 42, Cambridge 43.
0:34:38 > 0:34:45Chester 49, Coventry 50 and Cardiff right at the top on 74. Very well done if you got those.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair, I'm so sorry,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Dee and Colin, it's you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Round 2 last time. Head to Head this time.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59You played extremely well.
0:34:59 > 0:35:05I'm sorry we have to say goodbye, but thanks for playing Dee and Colin, thank you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:12But for Pat and Tony it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £6,750.
0:35:17 > 0:35:24Congratulations, Pat and Tony. You have fought off the competition and won a coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:30 > 0:35:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and it stands at £6,750.
0:35:41 > 0:35:48The rules are very simple. Just find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people got.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52We've had one pointless answer today and you only need one more.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56First, choose a category from these three options.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58They are...
0:36:04 > 0:36:09- The military could be war or it could be ranks.- Yeah. - If it's ranks, I'm OK.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13If it's wars, we need Dad! We'll think about that.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Olympians. How are you on that?- No.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22- Well, Hollywood Legends. - It's got to be.- I think so. You watched all the old movies.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Yeah, we'll go with that. - Hollywood Legends.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29OK, Hollywood Legends. Let's find out your question.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Humphrey Bogart films as they could.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Humphrey Bogart films. Richard?
0:36:39 > 0:36:45Any feature film made for general cinema release for which Humphrey Bogart received an acting credit.
0:36:45 > 0:36:51OK, there you go. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers and all you need
0:36:51 > 0:36:55is for just one answer to be pointless. 60 seconds start now.
0:36:55 > 0:37:02- Farewell My Lovely.- OK.- Casablanca. - Yeah.- African Queen. - Maltese Falcon.- Maltese Falcon.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06What was the one you said that I didn't know?
0:37:08 > 0:37:14- Farewell My Lovely.- Go with that. - That was remade with Robert Mitchum, but I'm sure Bogart did it first.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- I know he did Sam Spade.- Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21So that's a punt, that's a punt. So Farewell My Lovely.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- OK.- African Queen? - Yeah, if you like.
0:37:25 > 0:37:32- What was the last one you said? - Maltese Falcon.- Those are your three?- Yes, we'll go with that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36OK, well, stop the clock. Very good.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I now need your three answers.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- Farewell My Lovely.- Farewell My Lovely.- That's a bit of a punt.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Em, African Queen.- African Queen.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- And The Maltese Falcon.- OK, there we are. Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- If it's right, Farewell My Lovely. If it's wrong...- We'll put it last.
0:37:59 > 0:38:06- And your least likely? - I think The African Queen. - Let's put them up in that order.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08And here they are.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16There they are. We wanted Humphrey Bogart films.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- This was your least confident shot. - Yes.- Remember, you only need to find one pointless answer
0:38:22 > 0:38:30to win that £6,750 jackpot. Let's see if The African Queen is right and how many said it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Best of luck. ..It's right.
0:38:34 > 0:38:41It's right. If this goes down to zero, you leave here with £6,750. Down it goes into the 20s.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Into the teens - 18!
0:38:47 > 0:38:52So obviously not a pointless answer, but it's a very well-known film.
0:38:52 > 0:38:58Only 18 people got it. It's looking pretty good for your next two answers.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05£6,750. What would you do with £6,750, Tony?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09I would get my eyes lasered so I didn't need glasses!
0:39:09 > 0:39:14And I'd buy all my daughters new football boots.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Very good indeed! Pat?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22I would take everybody that I know and love on holiday.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Brilliant. Very good indeed. Well, let's hope that these two remaining answers
0:39:27 > 0:39:32will allow you to do that. Next is The Maltese Falcon.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37Again, this has to be right and it has to be pointless to win.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Let's see if it is. How many people said The Maltese Falcon?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Is it right?
0:39:43 > 0:39:48It's right. We went down to 18 with The African Queen.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Let's see how far we go down with The Maltese Falcon.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Down into the 20s... 18 again!
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Can't fault you on your grouping. That is fantastic. Look at that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10Straight through the hole you made with the first answer. Not a pointless answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20- Everything is now hanging on Farewell My Lovely, which you think is a Robert Mitchum film.- Yes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- But you think was also...remade... with Humphrey Bogart? - I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on that.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- We should have gone To Have And Have Not.- You loved this answer!
0:40:31 > 0:40:35I know I did, but women are fickle, aren't they?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Farewell My Lovely. This is your last shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44Let's see if it's right and how many people said Farewell My Lovely. Very best of luck.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Oh, no!
0:40:58 > 0:41:04I was sure that was going to go down for you. Unfortunately, it didn't, so you didn't win the jackpot.
0:41:04 > 0:41:10You haven't found the pointless answer so today's jackpot will roll over to the next show.
0:41:10 > 0:41:16- You have been fantastic contestants and you do get to take home our trophy.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:21 > 0:41:27- So, Richard...- Unlucky. You know your films. You're right about Farewell Mt Lovely.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32There was a version in the '40s, but not Humphrey Bogart.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37If you'd said To Have And Have Not, it would have scored two points.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Good answer, but wouldn't have won.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Let's look at some pointless answers. All Through The Night, Battle Circus,
0:41:45 > 0:41:50he plays an army surgeon, Dark Victory, where he plays a horse trainer,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Passage To Marseille, Racket Busters, The Barefoot Contessa,
0:41:54 > 0:42:01possibly the best-known pointless answer, The Desperate Hours, his penultimate film,
0:42:01 > 0:42:09The Road To Frisco and You Can't Get Away With Murder. Very well done if you got those.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Oh, The Barefoot Contessa. You knew that one.- I did.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18I didn't wear shoes for about a year after I saw that film.
0:42:18 > 0:42:25Oh, dear. I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye. You've been brilliant.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:38So nobody's won our jackpot. It rolls over to the next show where we'll play for £7,750.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45- Join us then to see if somebody can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.- And from me.
