Episode 8 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,

the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.

First, we welcome back Candice and Pippa.

You were with us last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.

Remind us what happened.

We did really badly.

-It was just a ploy so we could spend more time with Richard.

-It worked!

It worked phenomenally well. You didn't spend much time last show.

This time, you're going to have to try harder.

-What would you like to see come up this afternoon?

-Entertainment.

-Still entertainment.

-Films or Richard.

A topic all on Richard. Candice would be brilliant.

-That comes up with monotonous regularity(!)

-I can't deny it.

The topic of Richard.

Keep your fingers crossed! Maybe that'll come up. The very best of luck.

Next, we welcome back Paul and Richard, who did incredibly well. Remind us what happened.

We got through to the head-to-head.

Unfortunately, I overruled Paul on one answer and we lost.

It was neck-and-neck.

Three points either way on all three questions.

You narrowly failed to make it to the final.

-What's going to see you through?

-Keep him shut up!

-Keep me shut up!

I mean, he had some cracking answers early on. Three, four-pointers so...

Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.

Next, we welcome Adam and Sally Ann. How do you know each other?

Funny story. I was walking home in the rain with a massive umbrella.

I saw Sally with two friends and a tiny, broken umbrella.

One yelled out, "Can we do a swap?" So I swapped over.

I walked with them to the bar, had a beer and we've friends ever since.

-What do you do, Sally Ann?

-I work as a clerical supervisor during the week.

At weekends, I become...

-SING-SONG:

-Sally Sunshine, a female clown.

-LAUGHTER

-And fully enjoy it.

"Fully" enjoy it? I like your...

-SING-SONG

-"Sally Sunshine! Female clown!"

Very good indeed. What do you do, Adam?

-I'm a computer nerd.

-That's now a job, isn't it?

And at the weekends, while Sally Ann is brightening the lives of our youth?

I'm an amateur photographer. I get into wildlife photography.

Specifically birds.

-It's great to have you on the show. Welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

And finally, we have got Lydia and Ron. How do you know each other?

Step-father and step-daughter.

Lydia, what do you hope Ron is going to bring to the party? Not in the family!

-I mean, on Pointless.

-Definitely age.

-His experience.

That's what you mean, his wealth of experience.

-What do you do, Ron?

-By day, I'm a civil servant.

But I'm a photographer as well.

-Do you do wildlife photography?

-No.

I do birds of the other kind. LAUGHTER

-What are you saying?

-I do wedding, glamour and fashion and events.

I see. Goodness. Lydia, what do you do?

I'm a research scientist, physics by degree.

I work for the defence engineering sector.

That's fascinating. I'd love to ask you more.

-But you would have to kill me.

-Yes.

-LAUGHTER

-Go on. Ask her more!

-LAUGHTER

It's great having you on the show. Welcome to it and enjoy it.

There's only one person left for me to introduce.

At this year's Obscurity Convention, he was the keynote speaker.

-He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.

-Hiya. Hello.

-Hello, there.

-Hello, THERE.

We've got two returning pairs who had very different shows last time.

Candice and Pippa got knocked out early. I suspect they won't make the same mistake.

Paul and Richard were a very strong pair. Who's going to win?

We would need some sort of psychic.

Do we have any psychics? I'm getting a sense we do.

Yes, Richard. I'm quite psychic.

-There we go.

-How did you know that?

It's a...skill I have. Like a sixth sense.

-Who's going to win, Sally Ann?

-Us, of course!

-Let's find out either way how good you are!

-OK.

Good luck with that, Sally Ann.

We put all our questions to 100 people, but this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers.

All our players need to do is score as few points as they can.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,

an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

Each time, we add £250 to the jackpot.

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.

Today's jackpot starts at...

AUDIENCE WHOOPS

Right, let's play Pointless.

In the first round, each of you gives me one answer, and you cannot confer.

Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated. Our first category is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many fictional bears as they could.

-Richard.

-You don't get that on University Challenge!

All the correct answers will be fictional bears featured in books, comics, films or TV.

All the incorrect answers on the board will not be bears at all.

Pippa and Candice, you all drew lots and you get to go first.

We are going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.

The first set of answers reads like this...

..I'll read those one more time...

At least one of those is pointless, but at least one is incorrect.

Pick an incorrect one and you score the maximum of 100 points.

-Pippa, fictional bears.

-I'm going to have to play it safe, I think.

-I don't want to go out first round again.

-No, you can't!

I'm going to go for...

Yogi.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Yogi Bear.

It's right.

-APPLAUSE

-It's right!

Just quite a high score.

Pretty big score! Appeared in his own series

after being on the Huckleberry Hound Show.

So, Paul, we come to you. Fictional bears.

I'm going to try - he's going to hate me if I'm wrong - Shardik.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

let's see how many people said Shardik.

Well done! It's right, Paul!

That could be an excellent answer!

-Yes!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Very, very well done indeed. That adds £250 to the jackpot.

It takes the total up to £3,500.

It scores you nothing! Well done, Paul.

Shardik was created by Richard Adams,

as a follow-up to Watership Down.

Fantastic! Our first pointless for a while.

-So, Sally Ann.

-Right, I'm going to pick Baloo.

I think it's a bear in Jungle Book, but I'm not sure if it's a monkey.

-You're going for Baloo and hoping it's a bear.

-Yeah.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Baloo.

-APPLAUSE

-Not a bad answer.

Baloo.

-Well done, Sally Ann. As you say, from The Jungle Book.

-So, Lydia.

We're looking for fictional bears.

Fozzie, I think, might be a Muppet.

Whether or not it's a Muppet bear, I'm not sure.

Obviously, Rupert the Bear.

Columbus, I'm wondering if it's from the Golden Compass series.

But I'm not confident, so I'm going to go for SuperTed

and hope there weren't young people answering.

-So SuperTed, please.

-Let's see if SuperTed is right.

If it is, how many people said it?

It's right.

Wow! Look at that, Lydia!

-APPLAUSE

-That's a fantastic score!

Yeah, well played, Lydia. Obviously, it's a generational thing.

SuperTed and his arch nemesis, Texas Pete.

Voiced by Derek Griffiths, SuperTed, way back, when.

Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

Rupert Bear, obviously, would have scored a hefty 49 points.

Fozzie Bear is a bear. The clue's in the name. Would have scored three.

If you HAD said Columbus, you'd be on 100 points.

The birthplace of Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear.

-Not a fictional bear.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

Let's take a look at the scores.

Paul and Richard, you have the best score. Nothing!

Then up to Lydia and Ron on two. Sally Ann and Adam on 16.

Then, Pippa and Candice,

way out ahead.

-Candice, you have to be brilliant on your fictional bears!

-I'll try.

It's all I'm saying. OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We're going to put seven more answers on the board.

We were looking for fictional bears. Our second board looks like this...

..I'll read those again...

..Again, at least one of those is pointless.

There is also at least one incorrect answer.

If you pick one of those, you will score 100 points.

Now, Ron, Lydia did incredibly well with SuperTed.

She scored two points! The high-scorers are Candice and Pippa.

If you can score 60 or less, you are through to the next round.

I'll go for Barnaby.

There's your red line. Below that, you are through to the next round.

Barnaby, is that right and, if it is, how many people said it?

Well done, Ron.

Wow!

That is a pointless answer.

-It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

Takes the total up to £3,750.

And it scores you absolutely nothing.

Well played, Ron. A singing, dancing and juggling bear from an early '70s TV show.

-From the '70s?

-From the '70s.

-That's why you brought Ron, Lydia!

-There you go!

-That's what he's here for.

He has performed perfectly.

That jackpot is now bigger and your score is fantastically low.

-Adam. Adam.

-OK.

-Your score is 16.

The high-scorers remain Candice and Pippa.

Should you score 46 or less, you are through to the next round.

What do you think?

There's not a whole lot of names ringing out of bears.

I'll go with the one I do know.

-Which is Boo Boo.

-OK, is Boo Boo right?

How many people said it? Boo Boo.

You are through to the next round.

Takes your total up to 35.

-Boo Boo, Richard.

-Boo Boo to you, too.

Yogi Bear's side-kick in Jellystone Park.

-Yogi Bear's "psychic"?

-Sorry?

-Yogi Bear's "psychic"?

-Yeah.

He used to tell Yogi, "I think the ranger's coming.

"I'm pretty sure he is." Yogi Bear's SIDE-KICK, as well you know.

Thank you very much, Richard. We come to Richard and Paul.

You are on nothing, thanks to Paul's excellent answer.

The high-scorers remain Candice and Pippa.

Which means 62 or less

will be enough to see you through.

There might be another pointless answer.

-I'm not going to risk it. I'm going for Bungle off Rainbow.

-Bungle.

Is it right and, if so, how many people said it?

Very well done.

You're through!

What an excellent answer, Richard!

One point!

Takes your total to one, the lowest score in the round.

-How is Bungle only scoring one point?

-Because we're old, Richard.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, yeah. I forgot!

Friends, of course, with Zippy and George.

Candice and Pippa.

-I have terrible news for you.

-THEY GIGGLE

No, no. I have terrible news for you!

You haven't even submitted your second answer and you are already

the high-scorers.

Way to make you feel good(!)

-Candice, here's what you could do.

-I know.

You can talk us through the board and, maybe, truffle out a pointless.

There might be another pointless answer. There just could be.

I am going to try to get a pointless answer.

Paddington, everybody knows. Everybody knows Sooty.

I'm going to go for Fargas.

And it's probably going to be wrong!

And it'll be 100 again!

You're going to go for Fargas. Let's see if it's right.

If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer, Fargas.

-THEY LAUGH

-Ooh, I'm sorry!

Fargas is an incorrect answer.

You did the right thing, trying to find a really obscure answer.

It was so obscure, it was wrong.

It scored you 100 points. Takes your total to 163.

There is another pointless answer, but it's not Fargas.

-Antonio Fargas played Huggy Bear in Starsky And Hutch.

-Oh!

Let's take a look at the rest. Paddington, a very high scorer. 70.

Sooty, an incredibly low score.

-Perhaps people didn't realise he's a bear.

-No, no.

Perhaps it's because we're old!

People knew Sooty! Just out of acclamation, who here knew Bungle?

AUDIENCE: Yes!

That's more than one person.

Anyway, Iorek Byrnison, from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials,

pointless answer, amazingly.

Voiced by Sir Ian McKellen in the films.

That would have added £250.

So, at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score!

-THEY LAUGH

-It's Candice and Pippa.

Dear oh, dear. Oh, dear. What were we NOT going to do this show?

-Go out first round.

-What have we done?

-Go out first round.

-Yes!

-Sorry.

I'm very sorry we have to say goodbye so early, again.

-It has been a pleasure having you on the show. Thanks so much.

-Thank you.

For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head.

One of the teams in front of me will be leaving at the end of this round.

Our category for round two is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

Our round two question this afternoon concerns...

-..Richard.

-We'll show you a list of six guitarists on each pass.

We asked 100 people, "With which band are these guitarists most commonly associated?"

The more obscure answers will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.

There's 12 to have a go at at home.

So we are looking for the bands most closely associated with these guitarists. And we have got...

..I'll read those one more time...

..Paul, we are looking for the band most closely associated with these guitarists.

-You are not looking thrilled with that list.

-No. I know two of them.

They're the two that everybody would know.

Keith Richards...

Rolling Stones.

Is it right? If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

It's right.

It's under 50, Paul. 46 for Keith Richards.

-Rolling Stones. Richard.

-A pretty safe answer.

An avid antique book collector, Keith Richards.

Do you mean antiquarian books or antique books?

No, he's an antique book collector.

He collects normal books, but he's quite old.

LAUGHTER

Sally Ann. Sally Ann.

-Now, you're a psychic?

-I am.

I can't tell the future but I can tell the present and the past...

-LAUGHTER

-I'm a bit psychic as well!

-I've got an uncanny ability to tell the past.

If they let you bet on previous Grand Nationals, I would make a fortune!

Do your psychic powers extend to...guitarists?

-And bands?

-Ah! Not really, Alexander.

But I do know two names on there.

I'm going to go with the most common one I think I know.

That's Brian May, and I think the group is Queen.

Brian May. Queen.

Is it right and, if it is, how many people said Brian May, Queen?

APPLAUSE

45 for Brian May, Queen.

He's recently completed his doctoral thesis in astrophysics, Brian May.

-Very good answer.

-Thank you.

-Now then, Lydia.

-There couldn't be a worse category for me.

-To be perfectly honest.

-What? Andy Summers? Kirk Hammett? Slash? Thurston Moore?

I just about knew Brian May. I'll just come up with a band.

Andy Summer, the Killers. I just don't know.

Andy Summers, the Killers. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that.

-Ooh, bad luck, Lydia!

-What a surprise(!)

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, as you probably surmised.

That scores you 100 points.

-Richard.

-He was the guitarist in The Police.

Andy Summers would have scored you 11 points.

Let's take a look at the rest of them.

Slash is the hard-living guitarist in Guns 'N' Roses. Scored 38 points.

Thurston Moore, very well done if you said Sonic Youth,

the New York post-punk band, six points.

Kirk Hammett scored less than Thurston Moore, surprisingly.

Five points. Well done if you said he was from Metallica.

Thank you so much, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores.

Sally Ann and Adam,

the lowest score in the pass.

Paul and Richard, not far ahead of them.

Then, quite a way ahead, Lydia.

So, Ron, come on! It's all down to you in this next pass.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We're going to put six more guitarists on the board,

on the fret board, and here they are...

..I will read those one more time...

..We are looking for the bands most closely associated with them.

You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

Ron, you are the high-scorers.

You're going to have to score as low as you possibly can,

and hope that somebody else makes a mistake.

Right, I'll go with

the...Noel Gallaghers.

-Oasis.

-You're going with Noel Gallagher, Oasis.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Noel Gallagher, Oasis.

It's right.

-Yeah.

-APPLAUSE

I'm afraid that is an unbeatably high score, 173.

Noel Gallagher, Oasis.

VERY high score. Higher than Brian May or Keith Richards.

-No longer with them, of course.

-OK, Adam, we come to you.

The high-scorers are Ron and Lydia. Even if you score 100,

you will not overtake them.

You are through to the head-to-head.

With that cheering news,

see if you can find a nice obscure band for any of these guitarists.

I wish I was in the last round. I knew Slash. It's more my era.

-I'm going to go George Harrison, Beatles.

-George Harrison.

Beatles?

-A little-known combo(!)

-LAUGHTER

No red line for you. George Harrison, Beatles. How many people knew that?

APPLAUSE

-50? Sally Ann!

-I know! The best group to come out of Liverpool!

-The best group to come out of the world!

-True. Very true.

Perhaps people don't realise George Harrison's a guitarist, maybe?

I'm not as upset about that as Bungle getting one!

-LAUGHTER

-But it has shaken me a bit.

Very well done, Adam.

95, not a bad score. So, Richard, we come to you.

Again, doesn't matter what you say.

Let's clean up. Take me through the board.

Never heard of Jamie Cook.

Never heard of Ritchie Blackmore.

The Edge is U2.

I think David Gilmour might be Pink Floyd.

-What will you go for?

-David Gilmour, Pink Floyd.

OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

Very good. 13.

-APPLAUSE

-Takes your score up to 59.

Dave Gilmour, Pink Floyd.

Well done, Richard. It was the right one to go for.

Your other answer, the Edge, U2, would have scored you 34 points.

Ritchie Blackmore.

Once the Guinness Book of Records' loudest band in the world.

Deep Purple, seven points.

-The lowest score on the board, Jamie Cook?

-Arctic Monkeys.

Very well done if you said Arctic Monkeys at home.

So, at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score,

it's Lydia and Ron.

We haven't seen the best of you. What a team you were last round.

Fantastic team.

A pointless answer from you, Ron, but we have to say goodbye now.

We will see you again next time. Thank you very much for playing.

APPLAUSE

For the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.

Very well done, Paul and Richard, Adam and Sally Ann.

Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,

which currently stands at £3,750.

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions. Each pair gives me just one answer.

You are now allowed to confer.

Find an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.

The first pair to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.

Let's play Pointless.

Here is your first question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

Trumpton firemen as they could.

-Richard, that's brilliant.

-Good question, isn't it?

Any of the firemen who featured in the children's TV series Trumpton.

If a surname is shared by more than one person, we'll count it once.

Every single person at home is desperately going through the same form of words!

Thank you very much, Richard.

Paul and Richard, because you've played the best so far, you go first.

-Paul.

-I'm speechless here. Doesn't happen very often.

-We're going with Dibble.

-Very good.

Dibble has gone. Adam and Sally Ann, we are looking for Trumpton firemen.

-I think it's going to be Hugh.

-Hugh?

-Yes.

There we are. We have Dibble and we have Hugh.

Paul and Richard, Dibble.

Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Dibble.

40 for Dibble.

We'll see how it fares in context. You're saying Hugh.

Let's see if that's right

and how many people said Hugh.

Oh, sorry!

Ooh! That is an incorrect answer.

Which means, after one question, Paul and Richard are up, one-nil.

There's no Hugh. There's two Pughs. It starts Pugh, Pugh not Hugh, Pugh.

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

Well done if you said one of them, but there is a pointless answer.

It's Captain Flack.

Captain Flack was back at the station answering the phones...

..Thanks very much, Richard.

Here's your second question. Adam and Sally Ann, you have to win this to stay in the game.

OK, here's your second question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

boxers who defeated Mike Tyson as they could.

We're looking for the name of any opponent who's defeated Mike Tyson

in a professional boxing match up to April 2011.

There are five. I suspect people will have a go at getting all five.

Now, Adam and Sally Ann, you get to go first this time.

WHISPER

Um, it's not a good subject for us.

The only boxer I know,

and I think he's too old, is Alan Minter.

-You're saying Alan Minter?

-Yes.

Paul and Richard, you can now talk out loud.

We've got Evander Holyfield

and Tim Witherspoon, where he bit his ear off!

-So...

-Tim Witherspoon?

-Tim Witherspoon.

-Tim Witherspoon.

We have Alan Minter. We have Tim Witherspoon.

Let's put them to the test. Adam and Sally Ann, Alan Minter.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

Bad luck. Alan Minter, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.

Paul and Richard, Tim Witherspoon merely has to be correct.

If it's correct, you are straight through to the final.

Tim Witherspoon.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Also an incorrect answer.

So, after two questions, the score remains Paul and Richard, one-nil.

Richard.

Should have gone with Holyfield. Alan Winter's a British middleweight boxer from a different era.

If he's sitting at home, he'll be over the moon!

You thought he'd beaten Mike Tyson. What a wonderful afternoon he'll be having.

Let's take a look at the list of five men who beat Tyson.

Two were in comeback fights. Kevin McBride, he gave up after.

Danny Williams, the London boxer, he knocked Tyson out.

Buster Douglas, first man to beat Tyson.

Lennox Lewis beat him, and Holyfield beat him twice.

Second time because Tyson bit a chunk out of his ear.

Tim Witherspoon never beat him.

Here is your third question. Adam and Sally Ann, you've been thrown a lifeline.

You have to get this question right. Here's your third question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

countries beginning or ending in O as they could.

Any country whose usual English name begins or ends in O.

As always, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN.

These spellings are from the UN English language page of countries.

Paul and Richard, you get to go first again.

WHISPER

-Puerto Rico.

-Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico.

Adam and Sally Ann.

-All we've got is Mexico, so we're going to go with that.

-Yeah.

Mexico. We have Puerto Rico and we have Mexico.

OK, Paul and Richard, Puerto Rico. Is it right?

How many people said it?

-AUDIENCE: Oooh!

-Bad luck!

I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer. Adam and Sally Ann.

You have gone for Mexico. If it's correct, you win the point. You are still in the game.

Well done. You win the point.

APPLAUSE

Surprisingly low score, but all it had to be was correct.

After three questions, you are even.

-One-all.

-Richard. Unlucky again. Puerto Rico's a US territory, not a country in its own right.

There's only one country that begins with O but plenty that end in O.

Let's take a look at the board.

Montenegro was a pointless answer.

Would have added money to the jackpot...

..The only country to begin with O, Oman, at the top with 24.

Thank you very much, Richard. Whoever wins this question

is through to the final.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

post-war Conservative Chancellors of the Exchequer as they could.

Post-war Conservative Chancellors of the Exchequer.

We're looking for any Conservative MP or peer who's held the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer

from the General Election of 1945 through to April 2011.

Thanks very much. Adam and Sally Ann, you get to go first.

Right, the only one... I'm not sure whether he was Conservative.

-Gordon Brown.

-OK, you're going to say Gordon Brown.

Gordon Brown.

-Paul and Richard.

-John Major.

John Major. OK, we have Gordon Brown. We have John Major.

Gordon Brown, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Gordon Brown.

I'm afraid, yes, Gordon Brown not a Conservative.

Paul and Richard have gone for John Major.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said John Major.

If you win this, you are through to the final. John Major.

Yes, well done. You are through to the final.

-17 for John Major!

-APPLAUSE

After four questions, we eventually have a winner. Paul and Richard are through to the final.

-Richard.

-Yeah, Gordon Brown, I'm afraid...not Conservative!

Probably more likely to beat Mike Tyson than be a Conservative.

Lots of people at home would have got very obscure ones. See if your one's on the list.

There's four pointless answers...

..and George Osborne, who became Chancellor in 2010, on 22.

Thank you very much, Richard.

The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, Adam and Sally Ann.

Conservative Chancellors of the Exchequer, not strong for you.

No. Not at all. Especially with Adam being from Australia.

We say goodbye, but we will see you again when you have your second chance to reach the final.

-Thanks very much for playing.

-Thank you.

For Paul and Richard, it's time for our Pointless final and a chance to win our jackpot of £3,750.

Congratulations, Paul and Richard, you fought off the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,750.

AUDIENCE: Wooo!

The rules are simple, all you have to do is find a pointless answer

that none of our 100 people could think of.

We've had two pointless answers on the show. One was yours, Paul, with Shardik.

Find one more and you will go home with that money.

First, you've got to choose a category from these three options...

-Right...

-Right then, Richard...

-Wipe the football out.

British actresses can go. It's got to be the geography.

-Yeah.

-European geography.

-Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

regions of Spain as they could.

-Richard.

-We're looking for any of the 17 regions that Spain

is divided into, known as autonomous communities.

You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

Your 60 seconds start now.

Right, Andalucia.

Jerez.

Jerez, Andalucia...Catalonia.

Catalonia's north, isn't it? That's where the Basque comes under it.

No. That's another separate region, isn't it?

Jerez is where the sherry comes from.

Jerez is sherry. Andalucia, that's horses.

-Valencia.

-Valencia, that's the wine.

Yeah. Oh, hang on.

-Everyone knows those.

-They're the only ones

-I

-know.

Right. That's two more than I knew so we might as well stop the clock.

-We've got three that we know.

-That's...

-We will stop the clock.

We were looking for regions of Spain.

-I now need your three answers.

-Right...

-Jerez.

-Jerez.

-Andalucia.

-Andalucia.

-Valencia.

-Valencia.

-Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-Jerez, the sherry.

-And which do you think is your least likely?

-Valencia.

-Yeah.

We'll put them on the board in that order...

..There they are.

We're looking for regions of Spain. This is your least confident answer.

You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £3,750 jackpot.

Well, your first answer, Valencia. Let's see if that's right.

If it is, how many people said Valencia?

Well, it's right.

If this goes all the way to zero, you leave with £3,750.

Down it goes into single figures...

APPLAUSE

Ooh, I think we've got a final on our hands here!

Four for Valencia?

It's very exciting. Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer.

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

Andalucia.

This has to be pointless if you're going to win that £3,750 jackpot.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Andalucia. Good luck.

It's right.

Now, your first answer, Valencia, went all the way down to four.

This may go down even lower.

Oh!

APPLAUSE

That's unexpected. 21 from Andalucia.

-Not a pointless answer.

-No.

-OK. we're looking for regions of Spain.

You said this was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless.

Jerez, if this is right and goes down to zero,

you leave here with £3,750.

-How are you feeling?

-Apprehensive.

-Paul?

After that Andalucia one, I don't know. It's up in the air.

Could be anything, couldn't it?

Oh! It'd be brilliant! Please can this be pointless?

Jerez. Is it right? How many people said it?

-What?

-Oh, no!

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-APPLAUSE

-Oh, NO!

Never mind.

That is an incorrect answer.

Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer.

You don't win today's jackpot, which will roll over onto the next show.

But you do take home our pointless trophy.

-APPLAUSE

-We're quite happy with that!

-So, Richard.

-There's a few pointless answers. I'll just take you through the wrong ones.

Jerez is a city which is in Andalucia.

-Oh, right.

-But it's not a region. Let's look at the pointless answers.

If you've holidayed in any of these, I suspect you'd have said them.

Castile-La Mancha, which is in central Spain.

Cantabria, which is where Santander is, on the Bay of Biscay.

Asturias, that's in northwest Spain.

Very unlucky, guys. You played so well across both shows. Tough category. Well played and bad luck.

Thanks very much.

-Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye. It has been fabulous having you on the show.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Nobody's won our jackpot so it rolls over, which means on the next show

we will be playing for £4,750!

AUDIENCE: Wooo!

-Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
