0:00:24 > 0:00:30Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39And first we welcome back Libby and Lotti. You were on the show last time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. What happened?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- We failed...- Quite epically. - ..in the first round.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- 200 points.- We can't do worse. - We physically couldn't.
0:00:53 > 0:01:00Let's not rake over the coals. What's going to happen this afternoon? Let's look forward.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06- What do you do as a hobby, Lotti? Do you have fun hobbies?- No, I'm quite boring. I like cooking.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12- We cook a lot together.- We do. - Do you watch a lot of cookery programmes?- Saturday Kitchen.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18- That's your favourite?- Yeah. - And the Hairy Bikers. - We love them.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- What do you do, Libby? - I go to Comic-Con every year. - What's Comic-Con?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- The London film and comic book convention.- Do you dress up as a comic character?
0:01:28 > 0:01:36No, because we go up on the train and before you get there, you look crazy. When you're there, fine.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39But the travelling, you look crazy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- Great to have you back on the show. Very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50- Next we welcome Catherine and Elizabeth. How do you know each other?- We did supply teaching.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55I was sitting in the staff room looking a bit lost and lonely,
0:01:55 > 0:02:01- so Elizabeth talked to me and was really kind.- A supply teacher is always feeling a bit lonely.
0:02:01 > 0:02:08- Of course you are. No friends. - And the teachers are too busy. They've got enough to do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Have you been supply teaching at the same time since?- Yes. - I don't do it any more.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- What do you do now? - I run an introductions agency.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23Ah! I notice you're saying introductions agency. Different from a dating agency?
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Slightly different because it's nothing to do with the internet. It's more traditional.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- So who would you put together for Richard?- Oh, my goodness.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- I'd have to find him a very classy lady.- Oh, no. Let me tell you now...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42They do not need to be classy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I would almost go as far as to say quite the opposite.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- I don't have anyone like that on my books at the moment.- Oh, dear.
0:02:53 > 0:03:01- What would you like to see come up? - I'd like something about animals. I know obscure facts about them.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Well, very best of luck to you. Lovely to have you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Next we welcome Ciara and Malachy. Now where have you come from? - We've come over from Belfast.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17- And how do you know each other? - We met about four years ago in a pub.- Through mutual friends.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- And we've known each other ever since.- Whose idea was this?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Definitely Malachy's!- Oh, really?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Did you take a lot of persuading?
0:03:26 > 0:03:33- Not too much, no.- She watches it all the time, so I thought she'd want to go on it.- Very good.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39When you're watching it, have you seen a question and thought, "I'd love that to come up"?
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Yes, sort of things like pop music. A Lady Gaga question came up one time. That would be great.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- That would be great. - Sex and the City.- And Friends.
0:03:50 > 0:03:58- Malachy, what other subjects? - Well, Ciara can have those ones. I would prefer history and sport.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02It's lovely having you on the show. Very best of luck.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Finally, we welcome back Jonny and Stephen.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Remind us what happened. - We got to the second round
0:04:10 > 0:04:16and had a tricky question on native languages. Hope to go a bit further next time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- That's right. 200 points in the second round.- Yes!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Jonny, what would you like to see? - I'd like a bit of sport now.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29OK, sport. Stephen, obviously sport as well for you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35- You were a professional footballer. - Yes. A bit of science. I did science for my A levels. Biology.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- That would be nice to come up. - Do you do other things, Jonny?
0:04:39 > 0:04:47I like to do a bit of golf, other sports. And one of the things we like to do is geocaching.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52You're not the first on this show! This is some weird website thing, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- It's a bit like The Goonies with a GPS.- But you hide stuff?
0:04:57 > 0:05:03- Yeah.- For other people to find. - Yeah, that's right.- We used to have a dog that did that.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09It wasn't always a pleasing experience to discover the things he'd left, but there you are.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Very best of luck to you. We'll find out more about all of you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:21There's only one person left. He regularly writes to his MP demanding greater obscurity.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- He's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Hiya. Thank you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Afternoon to you. - A very, very good afternoon.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38We've got two returning pairs. They both joined the 200 Club.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41We might expect more. It's a fairly open field.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Ciara, if you can stick around to Round 2, it might suit you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51- Catherine, if you like animals, Round 1 might be for you. - Very good indeed.
0:05:51 > 0:05:58We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but we want obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02To stay in the game, you need to score as few points as you can.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot. Nobody's won it, so we add another £1,000.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Today's jackpot starts off at £7,750.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Right. Let's play Pointless.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:34 > 0:06:41The team with the highest score will be eliminated. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many lizards
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- as they could. Lizards, Richard. - Yes, it's one of those slightly complicated ones.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08The correct answers will all be types of lizard.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17Right, Libby and Lotti, you all drew lots and you get to go first.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22In this round, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28HE READS THE LIST
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'll read them one more time.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Now at least one is pointless, but be very careful because at least one is incorrect.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Pick that and you score 100 points.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- So then, Libby. - I have absolutely no idea. I know nothing about lizards.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Lotti will poke me if I'm wrong. She knows about lizards.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06So I'm going to go for Basilisk. I think I've seen it on a programme about zoos.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12There it is. Basilisk. Let's see if it's right and how many said it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's right!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Very well done, Libby.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Down it goes. It's pointless! What a brilliant start!
0:08:24 > 0:08:31That's how you do it. That adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to £8,000.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- And it scores you nothing. Very well done. Richard?- Great start.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Also known as the Jesus lizard because it can run across water.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- It runs across water?!- It does. There's also a '90s grunge band called the Jesus Lizard,
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- but that needn't detain us. - Now, Catherine. Feeling at home?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I am feeling at home with lizards. - Good, good.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So I am going to say...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Skink.- Skink. There it is. One up from the bottom.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Let's see if Catherine is right and how many people said skink.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's right.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Oh, very well done, Catherine! Five.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Five for skink. Richard?
0:09:24 > 0:09:30Very well played. Good start. There are over 1,000 different varieties of skink.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36- Good. Ciara, remember we're looking for types of lizard. - No idea! At all.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I'm going to guess mullion. - A mullion lizard.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Sounds good. - I'm not so sure any more.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Is it right and how many people said it? Mullion lizard.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Bad luck, Ciara. Mullion is an incorrect answer and you score 100 points. Sorry.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- Richard?- Sorry. Mullion is a cove on the Lizard Peninsula.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10So, Stephen, you're the last person to have this board.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16We've had a pointless and an incorrect answer. See if you can find another pointless answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I really want to say Gila Monster,
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- but I'm going to go for...gecko. - Gecko you're going to go for.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3746.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Quite a high score, but not so bad.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49Famous for their ability to walk up walls and sheer surfaces. You should have gone for gila monster.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54It would have scored you two points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Komodo dragon, the heaviest lizard of them all.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02That would have scored 16. Racerunner - pointless or incorrect?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- What do you think? - Em...I think it's pointless.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Yeah. Also known as the whip tail. Very well done if you got that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:17Thanks. We're halfway through, so let's look at the scores. Libby and Lotti looking fantastic
0:11:17 > 0:11:20with a lovely low score of nothing.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Then five where Catherine and Elizabeth are, 46 Stephen and Jonny,
0:11:25 > 0:11:30and then way, way up to 100 where Ciara and Malachy currently reside.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40OK, we'll put seven more answers on the board. And here they are.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43We're looking for types of lizard.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45HE READS THE LIST
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'll read those all one more time.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02At least one answer is pointless and at least one is incorrect.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Steer clear of those incorrect ones or you'll score 100 points.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Now, Jonny, Malachy and Ciara are on 100. You're on 46.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Score 53 or less and you are definitely through.
0:12:16 > 0:12:24I'm not going to have a stab this time. I'm going to go for a safe answer of...chameleon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Chameleon. OK. There's your red line.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Below that, you're through. Is it right and how many said it?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40And you're through. Very well done. 35.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44That did everything you needed to do and takes your total up to 81.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- Richard?- Well played, Jonny. Safely through. Chameleons famous for their colour-changing ability.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55I've actually got one here. You can see... See that?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Yes, I can. Brilliant.- There you go.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02In rehearsals we had an agitated one. This is a calmer chameleon.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06GROANS AND LAUGHTER
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Now then, Malachy. You're the high scorers on 100.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16You have to find the most obscure answer you can and hope it's enough.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23Only because I can't think of any reason why it would be on there, I'm going to say Sleepy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28There it is. Third one down. It has to be right, obviously.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Let's see if it is and how many people said Sleepy.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Very well done, Malachy. It's right.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Very well done, indeed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Oh, very well done!
0:13:42 > 0:13:49That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total to £8,250.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100. Well done.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55That's exactly what we needed.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Very well played. Excellent answer. Very common as pets.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02They get used to humans quickly.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Now then, Elizabeth. You are on five. The high scorers are on 100.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12If you can score 94 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:14:12 > 0:14:19I think I saw one of these in Queensland. In fact, I know I did. It was Monitor.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24The Monitor lizard. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It's right and you're through.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Very well done. 15.
0:14:34 > 0:14:3715 takes your total up to 20.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Richard?- Well played, Elizabeth. Another one that can go very big.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- They can be six feet in length. - I'm glad there isn't a six-foot whip tail!
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- Oh...- Or a six-foot long Jesus lizard! Waaay!
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Waay!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- That would be fun.- It'd be good.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Now then, Lotti. We come to you. The high scorers are Malachy and Ciara on 100.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07If you can score 99 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:15:07 > 0:15:15I knew five of the ones off the other screen. I'd have been better then, but Libby got a pointless.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20So I think I'm going to go with... I'm going to go Bearded Dragon.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Bearded Dragon.- Yes. - OK, there it is. Second one down.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- You know this to be true?- Yes. My partner is trying to convince me to buy one!
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- What are your reasons for not buying one?- I want a snake first.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Of course you do!
0:15:37 > 0:15:43So a bearded Dragon. Is that right and how many said it? There's your red line.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Yes, and you're through!- Yay!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Very well done.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- It's lower than I thought it'd be! - Very well done. Seven!
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Seven for Bearded Dragon gives you the best total with seven.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Richard?- Well played. It has a deep pouch on the base of its head.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Let's look at the rest of the board. Iguana is the obvious answer.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That would have scored 37 points.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16- Those other two... One is pointless, one is incorrect. - If there is a legless lizard,
0:16:16 > 0:16:22surely there would be 500 clubs up and down the country called The Legless Lizard!
0:16:22 > 0:16:29- Wouldn't there? - So you think incorrect? - By that reasoning, yes, I do.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35No, it's a pointless answer. Very similar to a snake, a legless lizard.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- It is literally legless? - Yeah. Hence the name.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Why didn't they call it a snake?
0:16:44 > 0:16:51- I think because it's not a snake. - That would be a good halfway house between bearded dragon and snake.
0:16:51 > 0:16:58- I want a snake! I want to call it Fluffy.- I could not be more on your boyfriend's side.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Yeah, if you want to tell the difference between a legless lizard and a snake,
0:17:03 > 0:17:10it has eyelids. A snake doesn't. And King Crimson, the band from the '70s, had an album called Lizard.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- So that's an incorrect answer. - Thanks, Richard.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18So the losing pair with the highest score is Ciara and Malachy.
0:17:18 > 0:17:25We have to say goodbye to you. Far too soon, but we will see you again next time
0:17:25 > 0:17:30and hope you do much better. Thanks, meanwhile. Great contestants.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47There's only room for two pairs in the Head to Head, so one team will go. Our category is...
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's second?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:58 > 0:18:05OK, so our Round 2 question concerns US TV characters and their actors.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09US TV characters and their actors.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13We'll show you a list of six US TV characters from past and present.
0:18:13 > 0:18:20We asked 100 people who originally played these characters. A nice obscure answer scores fewer points,
0:18:20 > 0:18:27an incorrect answer scores 100. So there's 12 in all. 12 answers to guess at home.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33OK, thanks, Richard. We are looking for the actors who played these characters. And we have got...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35HE READS THE LIST
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'll read those all one more time.
0:18:51 > 0:18:58There they are. We are looking for the names of the actors. You want the one the fewest people knew.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Lotti...- I actually only know one of those, I'm afraid to admit.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07It's the most obvious, I imagine, but I have to go with it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:15- Rachel Green is Jennifer Aniston. - Rachel Green, Jennifer Aniston. Is it right and how many knew it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Go down!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Oh, that's all right.- 25. - That's OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Nothing wrong with 25. Richard?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well done, Lotti. She won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Now, Elizabeth... - That WAS the obvious one.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42But I think there's one that's almost as obvious.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- I'll go for Jessica Fletcher.- Yep.
0:19:44 > 0:19:51- And I think it's Angela Lansbury. - Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0131!
0:20:03 > 0:20:0631 for Angela Lansbury. Richard?
0:20:06 > 0:20:13More obvious than the Friends answer. Nominated for 12 consecutive Emmys for Murder She Wrote.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Wow.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21Now then, Jonny, you're the last person. You can fill in all the blanks for us.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Arthur Fonzarelli is Fonzie out of Happy Days.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Just got to try to think of his name. ..I can't remember.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35I'll be here all day. I can't remember his name. I'll go for...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Howard...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41..Evans.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47OK, Howard Evans. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Howard Evans for Arthur Fonzarelli.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Richard?- Yeah, sorry. Tough luck.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02He was played by Henry Winkler.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08Would have scored you 23 points. Michaela Quinn, better known as Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman,
0:21:08 > 0:21:15played by Jane Seymour, 12. Tony Soprano, James Gandolfini. It would have scored you seven.
0:21:15 > 0:21:22- And Olivia Walton. Do you know who played her?- No.- It's a pointless answer. Michael Learned.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Michael Learned.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30- Michael Learned being a lady. - I was just going to say... - She is a lady.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36- Called Michael.- She used to be billed as Miss Michael Learned because she wasn't well known then.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39As opposed to now(!)
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Very good. Thank you, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50The best answer of that pass, Lotti and Libby, looking very strong indeed,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53then up to 31 where Elizabeth and Catherine are,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57then way up to 100, Jonny and Stephen, where we find you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:02 > 0:22:07OK, we're going to put six more US TV characters up on the board and here they are.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'll read them all one more time.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26You are looking for the actors who played these characters
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and you want the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Stephen, what do you think? You're on 100. It has to be a low-scoring answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I haven't got a clue, absolutely no idea whatsoever.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Carrie Bradshaw...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Helen Chamberlain, there we go.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Helen Chamberlain. Let's see if that's right for Carrie Bradshaw
0:22:49 > 0:22:53and if it is, let's see how many people said Helen Chamberlain.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Bad luck, Stephen. - I'm not surprised.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Helen Chamberlain didn't play Carrie Bradshaw.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06That scores you 100 points and it takes your total up to that impressive 200.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Richard?- Yeah, sorry, Stephen.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Another 200. The lovely Helen Chamberlain presents Soccer AM on Sky amongst other things,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19but up to the date of recording has not played Carrie Bradshaw.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- Never mind.- She'd be a good Carrie Bradshaw.- She'd be wonderful.- If you're watching.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Catherine, I've got great news for you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Stephen and Jonny are on 200.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34There's no way you'll overtake them even if you score 100 now.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I think I'll go for Ally McBeal.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I think it's Calista Flockhart.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48Let's see if it is right, Calista Flockhart for Ally McBeal, and how many people said it if it is.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Very well done. 17.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- APPLAUSE - 17 for Calista Flockhart.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It takes your total up to 48. Richard?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Well played, Catherine. Calista Flockhart married Harrison Ford.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08That's not true.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I know, it is.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Yeah, it is true. He was nearly 70 when they married.- Wow!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17He was Han Solo. That's fair enough.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23- If you've been Han Solo and Indiana Jones, you marry who you like, when you like.- That's the rule.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Libby...
0:24:25 > 0:24:31You are through to the head-to-head, come what may. You'll never overtake the high score of Stephen and Jonny.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36What about that board behind me, Libby? I think you might be rather good at this.
0:24:36 > 0:24:43I know a few. Ally McBeal was going to be my choice, but I'm going to go for Hugh Laurie as Gregory House.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Hugh Laurie, Gregory House.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5432.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- APPLAUSE - It takes your total up to 57.
0:24:59 > 0:25:06Yeah, well done, Libby. Hugh Laurie is the star of the biggest TV show in the world, he's a comic genius,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10he rowed in the Boat Race, he's an accomplished blues musician,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12but can he do this?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15LAUGHTER
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Yeah, I don't think so, Hugh.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Just an ordinary pen. It's just an ordinary pen.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36JR Ewing was Larry Hagman and it was a fairly obvious answer, but only 25 points.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Carrie Bradshaw, not Helen Chamberlain, it's Sarah Jessica Parker. Would have scored you 13.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Jim Rockford was played by James Garner. That would have scored you 28 points.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Don Draper is from Mad Men and played by Jon Hamm.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Best answer there. That scored 3 points. Well done if you got that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Jonny and Stephen.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's the 200 Club again. Oh, dear, oh, dear. It was a tough board.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I don't watch American TV at all.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16- I knew Rachel.- We knew Rachel Green. - Rachel Green.- That's the only one I knew.- Oh, well...
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I'm afraid we have to say goodbye, Jonny and Stephen. You've been fantastic contestants.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26I'm sorry to have to say goodbye to you so soon, but thank you so much for playing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32But for the remaining two pairs, things get more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Very well done, Libby and Lotti, Catherine and Elizabeth.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:26:44 > 0:26:49and play for the jackpot which currently stands at £8,250.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59For each question, each pair gives me just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04If your answer scores less than the other pair, you will win that question.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17OK, here is your first question.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- to name as many England World Cup managers as they could.- Oh, God!
0:27:25 > 0:27:32- Richard?- We're looking for any of the seven men who have managed England at a World Cup tournament
0:27:32 > 0:27:36from 1950 right through to the 2010 finals, please.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42Thank you. Libby and Lotti, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47We are looking for England managers at the FIFA World Cup.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49WHISPERING
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- It's up to you.- Glenn Hoddle? - Are you sure?- Yeah.- Go on then.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58OK. You've got too much faith in me. We'll go with Glenn Hoddle.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Glenn Hoddle, says Libby.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06Glenn Hoddle. Catherine and Elizabeth, what are you going to go for? You can confer out loud.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12I think I'm going to play safe and I can actually remember the 1966 World Cup.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And I think I'll go for Alf Ramsey.
0:28:15 > 0:28:21So we have Glenn Hoddle and we have Alf Ramsey. Libby and Lotti, you've gone for Glenn Hoddle.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Glenn Hoddle.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Well done. It's right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Keep going, keep going.- Down it goes
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- 16. - APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:4316 seems pretty good. Catherine and Elizabeth have gone for Alf Ramsey.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Alf Ramsey.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It's right.
0:28:53 > 0:28:5523.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Very well done, Libby and Lotti. You've won that with Glenn Hoddle.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06After just one question, Libby and Lotti are up 1-0. Richard?
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Well played. Two good answers. Only two answers would have beaten Glenn Hoddle.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14The first one is pointless, which is Walter Winterbottom
0:29:14 > 0:29:17who was our manager from '50 to '62.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Ron Greenwood, who managed in 1982, scored 5.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25There's Glenn Hoddle on 16. Alf Ramsey won the World Cup in 1966 and managed in '70 as well - 23.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Fabio Capello from 2010 would have scored you 36,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Bobby Robson, which was '86 and '90, 45,
0:29:31 > 0:29:36and at the top, SvenGoran Eriksson who managed in 2002 and 2006.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41If you go out with Ulrika Jonsson, it makes you more famous than winning the World Cup.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46OK, thank you very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Catherine and Elizabeth must win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:53 > 0:29:58to name as many rabbits in the film Watership Down as they could.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Rabbits in Watership Down. Richard?
0:30:01 > 0:30:08We're looking for any named rabbit listed on the credits of the 1978 film Watership Down, please.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11None of the rabbit gods and spirits are acceptable.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Just any of the rabbits with names at the end of that film, please.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Now then, Catherine and Elizabeth, you go first this time.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23OK, we know a couple of these,
0:30:23 > 0:30:28so I think we're going to go for...
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- The one you said.- Hazel.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Hazel. OK, Hazel, say Catherine and Elizabeth.
0:30:34 > 0:30:40- Libby and Lotti, rabbits in Watership Down, is this good for you?- No!
0:30:40 > 0:30:46- No, not at all.- I've never seen it. - I have seen it, but only as a very, very small child.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I think we'll just go for a generic rabbit name.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Choose a rabbit name.
0:30:53 > 0:30:59- Can we choose Thumper even though that's Bambi?- Yeah, go on. - Can we have Thumper?- Thumper.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05- You're going to say Thumper. - We know it's from Bambi. - We have Hazel and we have Thumper.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11Catherine and Elizabeth went with Hazel. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's right.
0:31:17 > 0:31:1922.
0:31:19 > 0:31:2122 for Hazel.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27Libby and Lotti, you have gone for Thumper. Let's see if that's right and if it is, if anyone said it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35Yeah, as we were expecting, that is an incorrect answer.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38After two questions, you are one-all. Richard?
0:31:38 > 0:31:44It's one of those ones where people either know none or quite a lot of them. Let's take a look.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There's lots of pointless answers.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Captain Campion was voiced by Nigel Hawthorne.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Pipkin was Roy Kinnear.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Hazel was voiced by John Hurt.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Right at the top, Hazel's brother Fiver, played by Richard Briers.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18- Very well done if you got any pointless answers.- Thank you. Here comes your third question.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24Whoever wins this question will be going through to the final and playing for £8,250.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:27 > 0:32:34to name as many US states with five letters or fewer as they could.
0:32:34 > 0:32:40- Richard?- We're looking for the name of any US state which has five letters or fewer in its name.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42See how many you can get at home.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46OK, now then, Libby and Lotti, you go first this time.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I'm just trying to think if there's any more.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Idaho. I-D-A-H-O.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Idaho. - OK, you're going to go for Idaho.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Catherine and Elizabeth, you can confer out loud now.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- We thought of a few. - We thought of a few.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- What did we think of? - We thought of Maine, Ohio, Iowa.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Shall we go for Iowa?- Go for Iowa.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15You're going to go for Iowa. OK, we have Idaho and we have Iowa.
0:33:15 > 0:33:22Libby and Lotti have gone for Idaho. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Idaho.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24It's right.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- 40.- I thought that'd be a lot lower than that.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- That's not bad.- 40 for Idaho. Something tells me this is going to be very, very close.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Iowa... Do you think it's going to go lower than 40?
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- I wouldn't like to say.- Yeah, maybe. - I'm not sure.- A definite maybe.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Iowa. Good luck. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Iowa.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Oh, you've done it. 37.- 37!
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Wow, very close indeed!
0:34:03 > 0:34:10That means after three questions, Catherine and Elizabeth are through to the final, 2-1. Richard?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14It doesn't get much closer than that. Well played, both teams.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19If you've got six of them on your list at home, you've got them all. Let's take a look.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24The best answer was Maine at 35. That would've got you to the final.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Iowa 37, Idaho 40,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Utah 53, Ohio 58
0:34:29 > 0:34:32and Texas right at the top on 61.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Libby and Lotti.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Bad luck, but some great answers. Glenn Hoddle was a brilliant answer.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Well done, Libby.- I'm quite proud of myself.- Very well done. Thumper..
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- Did you recognise those names?- When I saw them, I recognised a couple,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55but I wouldn't have thought of them, no matter how much time you gave us.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01I'm sorry we have to say goodbye now, but thank you. Libby and Lotti, excellent contestants!
0:35:01 > 0:35:05But for Catherine and Elizabeth, it's time for our Pointless final
0:35:05 > 0:35:09and the chance to win our jackpot of £8,250.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Congratulations, Catherine and Elizabeth.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21You have fought off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33the jackpot stands at £8,250.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41The rules are simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:35:41 > 0:35:46that none of our 100 people could think of. We've had two pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:46 > 0:35:53Just find one more now and you'll go home with that money. First, choose a category from these three options.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- Um...- British Olympians, I think.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- Do you know a lot about that?- No, bu I know nothing about the other two.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- I know nothing about the first one. - And I know nothing about Soul Divas.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14We'll go for British Olympians. We know nothing about the other two.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:18 > 0:36:26to name as many British Olympic cycling medallists since 2000 as they could.
0:36:26 > 0:36:33- Richard?- Yeah, any member of Team GB to have won a cycling medal in the 2000, 2004 or 2008 Olympics.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39So any member of Team GB to have won a bronze, silver or gold at any of those three Olympics, please.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers and all you need to win that £8,250
0:36:45 > 0:36:50is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- There's Chris Hoy, but he won't be...- I don't know anything. I couldn't name one...
0:36:55 > 0:36:59I can name one, but everyone else can name him. It's Chris Hoy.
0:36:59 > 0:37:05There's a lady called Victoria somebody, but I can't think what her second name is.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I'm just trying to think.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- What is that lady's name? Victoria...- Victoria Beckham?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16No, it's not Victoria Beckham. I can't think what her name is.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Chris Hoy...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Victoria Station(!)- No.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Not Victoria Station, no. Victoria...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Something beginning with R? I can't remember.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I'm no help. I'm sorry. I don't know
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I can't think of any of the men either.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- It's not a good round for us. - Five seconds left.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- No.- You can't remember?- No, we'll have to make up some names.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK, there is your minute up.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50We were looking for British Olympic cycling medallists since 2000. I now need three answers from you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54We can give you one.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Half of one.- No, we've got Chris Hoy
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- So, Chris Hoy?- Yes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Two more answers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Victoria Pendleton?- We'll take that as your second answer.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- And...- Do we have a third one? - I don't have a third one. Let's make up a name.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Let's make up, um...
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Martin Jefferson.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Martin...Jefferson!
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Have you not heard of Martin Jefferson...- Of course. Everyone's..
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- ..the world-famous cyclist? - Absolutely.
0:38:27 > 0:38:34So there are our three answers - Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Martin...Jefferson.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- Victoria.- Victoria Pendleton. We shall put her last.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Which is your least likely?- I think it's Martin...- Martin Jefferson.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- You think people will remember him before the others?- He's very good.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06We were looking for British Olympic cycling medallists
0:39:06 > 0:39:09since 2000.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- You said this was your least confident answer.- Totally.- Yes.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17You only need one pointless answer to win that £8,250 jackpot.
0:39:17 > 0:39:23Let see how many people said Martin Jefferson and if it's right. It just might be.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Oh!
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- Oh, no(!)- Unfortunately, an incorrec answer.- He must have come fourth(!)
0:39:32 > 0:39:36You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39£8,250 - what would you do with that?
0:39:39 > 0:39:45- I'd have a huge party for everybody and I'd go on a trip to Transylvania.- Brilliant.
0:39:45 > 0:39:51- Why particularly Transylvania? - I love classic horror films and anything to do with Dracula,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- so I have to go to Transylvania. - Very good indeed.
0:39:54 > 0:40:01- Elizabeth?- I've got a big birthday next year and I'd have an enormous party at somewhere really nice.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Brilliant. I would love it if both of these answers are pointless, but at least one of them,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09so these things can come to pass.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14We are looking for British Olympic cycling medallists since 2000.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Let's hope nobody said your next answer - Chris Hoy.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21It has to be right and pointless if you're to win that jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:27This is your second shot at that £8,250. Chris Hoy, is it right, how many people said it?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It's right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35It's right. This just has to go all the way down to zero
0:40:35 > 0:40:39and you leave here with that money. Let's see how far it goes down.
0:40:39 > 0:40:4030.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- It's obviously not a pointless answer.- We knew that.
0:40:47 > 0:40:53You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. This was the answer that you were most confident with.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59If it's right and it's pointless, you walk away with a jackpot of £8,250.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05Let's see. Victoria Pendleton, is that right and if it is, how many people said Victoria Pendleton?
0:41:06 > 0:41:11- It's right.- Oh, wow!- It's right.- My goodness!- Very well done, Elizabeth.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Now, down it goes. 30 for Chris Hoy. Down it goes into the 20s.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Down into the teens.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Oh!
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- APPLAUSE - I'm amazed.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30- A brilliant answer and 11 is a great score, only in this round, it has to be pointless.- Yeah.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer,
0:41:34 > 0:41:40so you don't win today's jackpot of £8,250, which will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:40 > 0:41:46but you have been brilliant contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48APPLAUSE
0:41:51 > 0:41:57Very well played. Victoria Pendleton won gold in the individual sprint in 2008.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Chris Hoy has won four golds and a silver since 2000.
0:42:00 > 0:42:06Let's take a look at some pointless answers. Some people at home will know a few of these.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Bryan Steel won a bronze in 2000, Craig MacLean won a silver in 2000,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Ed Clancy won gold in 2008 in the team pursuit.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- You've done incredibly well. - And we get a trophy!- Yes.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47We have to say goodbye to you, Catherine and Elizabeth, but thank you so much for playing.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Thank you.- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over again
0:42:56 > 0:42:59and on the next show, we will be playing for £9,250.
0:43:01 > 0:43:07- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
