0:00:26 > 0:00:30Thank you very much indeed. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33The quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37And to do that you need to come up with the answers that nobody else could think of.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's meet today's players.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Welcome back, Tim and Anna. You were on the show last time.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Everyone gets two chances.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Of course, this is your last chance. Remind us what happened.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55We had a question on TV detectives which is probably our worst fear

0:00:55 > 0:00:58because we didn't really know many at all.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02What are you hoping will come up?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm hoping things like music or celebrities or TV

0:01:05 > 0:01:07and all the easy subjects.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Tim?- I'd like the harder stuff. - The harder stuff?

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- I'd like some science or geography or history. Real subjects.- Wow.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17OK. Very good. Well, welcome back to the show.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22Lovely to have you back and next we welcome back Min and Alison, who were also on last time.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24How do you two know each other, Alison?

0:01:24 > 0:01:26We know each other from school.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29We met in the school playground

0:01:29 > 0:01:33when Min was building alligators out of breeze blocks.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Like you do.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38And asked me to join in, which I very foolishly did.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And probably regretted it most of the time since.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Aw!

0:01:43 > 0:01:44No, not true, not true.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46What do you hope will come up?

0:01:46 > 0:01:51Factual things. You know, nature and mountains and that sort of thing.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Good, good. Min, any particular favourites for you?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Well, I like serial killers

0:01:56 > 0:01:58but people always look worried when I say that.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59I don't know why.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Lemurs perhaps.- OK, serial killers and lemurs.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Just go back a little bit. Min, serial killers.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Explain this.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Well, my friend Andrew, his theory that every pub quiz team

0:02:15 > 0:02:19has somebody on it that's an expert on serial killers.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I wondered where that was going. - And I happen to be ours.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25It worries my friends. I don't know why.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Didn't we have 10 contestants?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30LAUGHTER

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Shhh!

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Best of luck, lovely to have you back.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Next, we welcome Nicola and Carys. How do you two know each other?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well, I've known Nicola all her life. We are mother and daughter.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Welcome. What would you like to see come up?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Geography or films maybe.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Nicola, how about you?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Probably something on pop music. A bit of cheese.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57We have actually literally done cheese. But yeah, good cheesy...

0:02:57 > 0:02:59That or maybe Harry Potter.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00- Harry Potter?- Yeah.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Other than Harry Potter, what do you like to do in your spare time?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well, I like to do a bit of karaoke.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Being Welsh, I think I'm a good singer,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10although I'm not necessarily that good.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11What's your karaoke song?

0:03:11 > 0:03:16I like to do a bit of burly chassis, as opposed to Shirley Bassey, and a bit of Big Spender.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17But not today.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Well, who knows, what if you win the jackpot?- Maybe.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Best of luck to the pair of you. It's lovely to have you here.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28And finally, we've got Jimmy and Dan. How do you two know each other?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31We met in first year of uni and now we're flatmates.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Are you still at uni? - Fourth year.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Oh, it's a Scottish uni? - Edinburgh.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Edinburgh? Very, very... Jimmy, you've got a bit of a shiner there.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Just a little bit, yes. This was a football accident.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Yeah, yeah. OK. - LAUGHTER

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- When was it?- Well, it happened just a few days ago.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52We were playing for our football team at university.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57I was going up for a header and a guy just came in with his elbow and...

0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Shocking.- Not even a red card. - No, what?

0:04:01 > 0:04:05- What?- Disgraceful.- Did you win?- We did win, 3-1.- Well, there you are.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06There's justice.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Dan?- Yep? - What are you reading at university?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I do sport management at university.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Sport management?- I do indeed, yes.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Have we ever had a question on Pointless that that could translate into?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20We did Man Utd managers.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21We have, actually.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23That's literally sport management.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Yeah, but I bet they study more than that.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Actually, maybe not!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29What, you reckon they do Man City as well?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Maybe. Very good.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Lovely to have you here, Jimmy and Dan. Best of luck to you.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38We'll find out more about all of you in the show.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40There's one person left to introduce.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43He eats, he sleeps and he tweets obscurity.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- He is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48APPLAUSE

0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon to you, Richard.- How are you?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- I'm extremely well, thank you. How about you?- I'm very well.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02We've got an all-new Pointless today.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's all-new. A lot of big changes from today onwards. Firstly.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Big shiny floor.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Lots of beams of light. We are in HD for the first time.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11Oh, is that why?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Yeah, that's why you and I have been in make-up since 1:30. Yeah.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Secondly, brand-new head-to-head round today.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Brand-new, very good, very, very exciting.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26And thirdly, for the first time ever on Pointless, I am wearing trousers.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Weird.- That's going to make your job easier, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33- How incredible.- It's good. All new Pointless.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36So it should be a lot of fun. Two returning pairs,

0:05:36 > 0:05:40two brand-new pairs, but a lot of different things in today's game.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Excellent. Thanks. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47But we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53score as few points as possible.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56But everyone's trying to find a pointless answer.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave

0:05:58 > 0:06:02and each time one of you finds one of those, we will add

0:06:02 > 0:06:04£250 to the jackpot.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Now, nobody won the jackpot last time so today we add another £1,000

0:06:08 > 0:06:13to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £11,500.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Right, well, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27In this first round each of you must give me one answer

0:06:27 > 0:06:30and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score 100 points,

0:06:37 > 0:06:39so try and avoid those if you can.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44OK, our first category this afternoon is...Pop Music.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first, who's second?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51And whoever's first, step up to the podium.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, let's find out the question.

0:06:56 > 0:07:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many UK-born females

0:07:02 > 0:07:05who have had a solo UK number-one single. Richard?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Yeah, looking for any solo female singer born in the UK

0:07:08 > 0:07:11who's had a number-one single in the UK charts

0:07:11 > 0:07:16at any time from the beginning of the charts in 1952 all the way through to the beginning of 2012, please.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20No-one who's had number-one singles as a collaboration or with a group.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Richard, thank you.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Now. Tim and Anna, you all drew lots before the show

0:07:24 > 0:07:28and this afternoon you get to go first.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Now, Anna, I saw Tim pointing at you the minute this category came up.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Almost as if you had no say in who was going to go first.- That's fine.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- It's hard thinking about it. - Very.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40But, um, I think I've got one. I'm going to go for Emma Bunton.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45From the Spice Girls, but she had... I think she had a number one on her own.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Bet no-one thought of her. Let's see if it is right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51It's right.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, look at that! 4!

0:07:59 > 0:08:04Very well done, Anna. Emma Bunton scores you 4. Great answer.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06APPLAUSE

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- So, Emma Bunton. - A great start to all-new Pointless.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11She had a number one in 2001

0:08:11 > 0:08:12with What Took You So Long?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13So, Alison, we come to you.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15We're looking for UK-born females

0:08:15 > 0:08:17who've had a solo number-one single.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Not one of my greater categories.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Uh, I'm going to say Lulu.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK. You're saying Lulu. Let's see if that's correct

0:08:27 > 0:08:30and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Lulu.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Wow. Yeah. Never had a number-one single.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Unfortunately, it's an incorrect answer, which means you score

0:08:42 > 0:08:45the maximum of 100 points. Richard.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48That's very unlucky. The only number one she ever had was with Take That.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Relight My Fire. Never had a solo number one.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Anyway, Carys. We come to you.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well, I think I've got one.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Karaoke, for heaven's sake!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- I know!- You'll be brilliant at this. - I'm going with my Welsh influence

0:09:01 > 0:09:03and I'm going to go for Duffy.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Duffy.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Let's see if Duffy is correct and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's right, Carys.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18And it's a brilliant answer. 11.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- APPLAUSE - Cracking score.

0:09:20 > 0:09:2211 for Duffy.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Richard.- Well played, Carys. She had a number one in 2008 with Mercy.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Now then, Jimmy.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Looking for UK-born female artists with a solo number one.

0:09:31 > 0:09:37I have a few ideas. I think I'm going to say Pixie Lott.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Dan's giving a thoughtful nod.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's see if Pixie Lott is a correct answer

0:09:41 > 0:09:43and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Pixie Lott.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47It's right!

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Don't it goes. 7.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- APPLAUSE - Another great score.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Pixie Lott, Richard. - A good low-scoring answer.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05We are halfway through the round.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Let's look at those scores.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Very low scoring round in nearly all cases. Anna and Tim, 4.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14What a great score. Up to 7 for Jimmy and Dan. Brilliant.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Up to 11, Carys and Nicola. Hoo-hoo!

0:10:16 > 0:10:21And then... 100, Alison and Min.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23You are way ahead of the field, I'm afraid.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24So, Min...

0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Thinking hard.- Thinking hard? OK, we can come back down the line.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Second players, please take their places at the podium.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38Remember, we are looking for UK-born females who had a solo number one.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40And, Dan, we come to you.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44You are on 7. The high scorers on 100 are Min and Alison,

0:10:44 > 0:10:46meaning a score of 92 or less would be enough

0:10:46 > 0:10:48to see you through to the next round.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52I've got an idea. It's a bit risky but I might give it a shot.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Billie Piper?- Billie Piper?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58There we are. OK, there is your red line.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59If you get below that, you're through.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Let's see if Billie Piper's right and how many said it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07It's a great answer, it's right, Dan.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Look at that! One point!

0:11:13 > 0:11:15APPLAUSE

0:11:15 > 0:11:18This is excellent work.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Your total remains in single figures.

0:11:20 > 0:11:228 - that's brilliant. Richard?

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Yes, safely through, Dan. Very well played. She had three number-one singles.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31Because We Want To, Girlfriend and Day And Night. All number ones. More famous as an actress, now.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Very good actress, actually.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I don't know why I'm so surprised but she is.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Are you saying she wasn't a great pop singer?

0:11:38 > 0:11:39She's a brilliant actress.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41LAUGHTER

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Very good. Now then, Nicola.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46We're looking for UK-born females who've had a solo number one.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48You are on 11. The highest scorers

0:11:48 > 0:11:50remain Min and Alison on 100.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51That means 88 or less

0:11:51 > 0:11:53is enough to see you through

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- to the next round. - I've got a bit of a risky one.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I'm not too sure about it but I'm just going to go for it.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00I think Gabrielle.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07There is your red line. Below that, through to the next round.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10You're through!

0:12:16 > 0:12:20- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Our first pointless answer.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22That is brilliant.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27It's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30It takes the total up to £11,750.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Nicola, you go into the history books.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34The first pointless answer in HD.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35What about that?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Richard?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Yeah, terrific. Very well played. Had two number ones.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Dreams, probably the most famous one, and Rise as well.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well done if you said Gabrielle, pointless answer.

0:12:45 > 0:12:50Very good indeed. So then, Min. You are the high scorer at the moment.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52I think I'm going to reach back into the past

0:12:52 > 0:12:55and I think she had a number-one single.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59And I'm going to try for Helen Shapiro.

0:12:59 > 0:13:05Ah! Helen Shapiro! Ooh, that's a great answer. If it's right.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07There's no red line for you

0:13:07 > 0:13:10because you are the high scorers by a margin.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Helen Shapiro - let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17It's right!

0:13:20 > 0:13:22That's the first thing that had to happen.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25It has to go all the way down to 0. Oh, to 1 - that will do.

0:13:28 > 0:13:291 point

0:13:29 > 0:13:33takes your total up to 101. Do you want to tell us

0:13:33 > 0:13:35the name of that song you're thinking of?

0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Walking Back To Happiness?- That's the one I thought of. Richard? - Walking Back To Happiness.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42And You Don't Know - number ones in 1961.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Thanks very much, Richard.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47We're still looking for UK-born female artists who had a solo

0:13:47 > 0:13:49number one single.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50So, Tim, not out of the woods.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54If you can score 96 or less, you are out of the woods.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I am so far out of my comfort zone on this that...

0:13:59 > 0:14:01But I'm desperately, desperately hoping

0:14:01 > 0:14:03that, with Wuthering Heights, Kate Bush got to number one.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07OK, we're getting nods from the assembled company.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Nods, it's like lots of cars in a traffic jam.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17With dogs on the back shelf. There is your red line.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Get below that red line, through you go to the next round.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Let's see if Kate Bush is right

0:14:22 > 0:14:24and if it is, how many people said it.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's right. He's done it.

0:14:33 > 0:14:3511.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36APPLAUSE

0:14:36 > 0:14:4011 for Kate Bush. Takes your total up to 15.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Very well done. You've made it. 11 is quite a low score for Kate Bush.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's quite low scores all-round actually.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51If you look through the list. Even Leona Lewis is sort of scoring 19.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56Pop music is one of those things that a lot of people know nothing about. It turns out.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Let's look at the pointless answers. There's quite a few.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Aneka, who had a number of one with Japanese Boy back in the early '80s,

0:15:02 > 0:15:05she was a pointless answer. Gabrielle had two number ones.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Julie Covington, who sung Don't Cry For Me, Argentina.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Kelly Marie, pointless answer.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Lena Martell, who did One Day At A Time.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Martine McCutcheon, Perfect Moment, pointless answer.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19All sorts of other names on that list. Cher Lloyd. Pixie Lott, we had.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23- She had a number one?! Cher Lloyd? - Swagger Jagger, yeah.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Lily Allen on the list. Let's take a look at

0:15:25 > 0:15:29the most popular ones, the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33There's Leona Lewis with 19. That's actually the third most popular answer.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Cheryl Cole, 21. Most of all?

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Adele, 39. She wins everything these days.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Quite right. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46So at the end of the first round, the losing pair with the highest score, Min and Alison.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49I'm really sorry we didn't have serial killers, Min.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54- And I promised I wouldn't kill Alison if she got anything wrong. - You're going to be gutted

0:15:54 > 0:15:56when you find out what round two is.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03APPLAUSE

0:16:05 > 0:16:08But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head

0:16:18 > 0:16:24so one team is going to be leaving at the end of this round. The category for Round Two is...

0:16:24 > 0:16:28the USA. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?

0:16:28 > 0:16:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39OK, so our Round Two question this afternoon concerns...

0:16:39 > 0:16:43Largest Cities in US States.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Largest Cities in US States. Richard.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'm going to give you a list of six cities on each pass.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53We need you to tell us the state in which they are the largest city.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. Give us an incorrect answer,

0:16:58 > 0:17:04- you'll score 100 points. 12 in all. - Thanks very much, Richard. We are looking for the states in which

0:17:04 > 0:17:07these are the largest cities. OK. We have got...

0:17:15 > 0:17:17I'll read those one more time.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28As always on Pointless, you are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31So, Tim, which one are you going to go for?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I know a few of them.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37Which one is going to be least? Anchorage in Alaska.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Anchorage, Alaska, says Tim. Let's see if it's right,

0:17:40 > 0:17:45and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Anchorage, Alaska.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46It's right.

0:17:51 > 0:17:5224.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55APPLAUSE

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Richard.- 40% of Alaska's population live in Anchorage.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Eight people live there.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Not really.

0:18:06 > 0:18:12Now, Carys, remember, we're looking for the US states in which these are the largest cities.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17I think there's two up there that I know. One I'm more certain on than the other.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20So I don't know whether to go for the one that's maybe

0:18:20 > 0:18:23a little bit more obvious or to take a bit of a gamble.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28- I think I'm going to go Memphis, Tennessee.- Memphis, Tennessee, says Carys. Let's see if it's right,

0:18:28 > 0:18:32and if it is, how many people said Tennessee for Memphis.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34It's right.

0:18:36 > 0:18:3756.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40APPLAUSE

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- 56 for Tennessee.- A big score, Carys, but better than 100.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Probably best known for where Elvis's mansion Graceland is.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Thank you very much. Now, Jimmy. You're the last person

0:18:51 > 0:18:54to have this board, so if you like you can talk us through all of them.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58Erm, I would, but I don't know any of the rest of the answers,

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I don't think. But I'm going to hope, if this is right,

0:19:01 > 0:19:04it's probably obvious, Las Vegas, Nevada.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Is that a gamble?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08LAUGHTER

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Is that a... Is that a...

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Nevada for Las Vegas.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's right.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Not bad. Not bad at all. 43.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29APPLAUSE

0:19:29 > 0:19:33- 43 for Las Vegas, Nevada. Richard. - Less than Memphis. Whenever you hear Memphis,

0:19:33 > 0:19:37you often hear Memphis, Tennessee. Vegas probably a more famous place

0:19:37 > 0:19:39but perhaps in a less famous state.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Let's take a look at the rest. Do you know any of these?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Do you know Milwaukee? - No, I don't know.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's the best answer, Milwaukee. It's Wisconsin. Well done if you said it.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52It would have scored you three points. Baltimore?

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Maryland?- It is Maryland. Would have scored you seven points. And Charlotte?- Is it...

0:19:56 > 0:20:02- Erm, it's in the deep south, isn't it? It's...- North Carolina.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Would have scored six points. I know lots of Pointless fans know their geography.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09I suspect lots would have got all six. Very well done if you did.

0:20:09 > 0:20:15Splendid. Thank you, Richard. Let's look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.

0:20:15 > 0:20:1824, Tim and Anna. Anchorage, a great answer there.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Up to 43, Jimmy and Dan. Not bad at all. Carys and Nicola,

0:20:22 > 0:20:26you're not that far ahead on 56. It's all pretty close grouping.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Nicola, if you can find a really low-scoring one on the next pass, that would be absolutely fantastic.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:20:36 > 0:20:42OK. We're going to put six more cities on the board and here we are.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43We have got...

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Let me read those one more time.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01We are looking for the states in which these are the biggest cities

0:21:01 > 0:21:06and you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Dan, how is American geography for you?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I knew every answer to the last one

0:21:10 > 0:21:14so I think I know everything bar...

0:21:14 > 0:21:16one on this one. I'll go...

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, says Dan. Let's see if that's right,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and if it is, how many people said Pennsylvania for Philadelphia.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29There's your red line, nice and low there.

0:21:37 > 0:21:42Very, very well done. 17 for Pennsylvania takes your total up to 60.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44APPLAUSE

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Well played, Dan. Proof that if you want a geography question answered,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51ask a sports-management student.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54There we are. Now then, Nicola, here is your moment.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59Remember, we are looking for the US states in which these are the largest cities.

0:21:59 > 0:22:05My geography knowledge is very, very limited and I can't say I know many.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'm going to hazard a guess. Erm, it's probably wrong.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Detroit, Massachusetts. I can't even say it.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Detroit, Massachusetts...- Yeah.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19..says Nicola. OK, the high scorers on 60 are Dan and Jimmy.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22If you score 3 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25That's what 3 looks like, that's your red line there.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see if Massachusetts is right for Detroit,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Bad luck. Bad luck. Unfortunately, an incorrect answer,

0:22:38 > 0:22:42which means you score the maximum of 100 points, which takes your total

0:22:42 > 0:22:46up to an unbeatable 156, I'm sorry to say. So then, Anna.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48The high scorers now Nicola and Carys, on 156.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53You won't be able to overtake them, no matter what you say.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57So, bearing that in mind, why not have a bit of a punt on this last board?

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Erm, Jacksonville is Florida.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Detroit is Michigan.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Los Angeles is California

0:23:04 > 0:23:07and Chicago's in Illinois. I'm just trying to think

0:23:07 > 0:23:09which of those that I know is going to be the lowest.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Wichita, I want to say it's Wisconsin but I don't know, so...

0:23:13 > 0:23:17I'm going to go for Detroit, Michigan.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Detroit, Michigan, says Anna. Let's see if that's right,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23and if it is, how many people said Michigan for Detroit.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's spot on.

0:23:29 > 0:23:3121. Very good indeed.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Takes your total up to 45.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35APPLAUSE

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Great answer. Richard.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42Good answer, and you took us through the board fairly perfectly, apart from Wichita, which we'll get on to.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47Los Angeles obviously is California. Would have scored a fairly hefty 69 points.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Chicago is Illinois. That would have scored you 35 points.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Jacksonville, as you say, is Florida. Would have scored you 12.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Very well done at home if you said Wichita, that's the best answer on the board

0:23:57 > 0:24:00and it's the largest city in Kansas.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Wichita, Kansas would have scored you 9 points.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round Two, the losing pair, I'm sorry to say, Nicola and Carys.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Nevermind.- We had a lovely time.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14You gave us a pointless answer, our first HD pointless answer

0:24:14 > 0:24:17with Gabrielle. We will see you again next time of course.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Everyone gets two cracks at the Pointless Final.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Excellent contestants. Nicola and Carys, thank you.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:27 > 0:24:34For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Congratulations, Tim and Anna, Jimmy and Dan.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43You are now only one round away from the final

0:24:43 > 0:24:47and a chance to play for that jackpot, which currently stands

0:24:47 > 0:24:50at £11,750.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Obviously, only one pair can win that money.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58To decide who that's going to be, you're going to go head-to-head.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Each parent needs to answer just one of them

0:25:05 > 0:25:07and you are now allowed to confer.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Score less than the other pair and you'll win that question.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Let's play the head-to-head.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27OK. Here is your first question and it concerns...

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- ..Musical Productions. Richard. - We're going to show you

0:25:31 > 0:25:34five still images from major theatrical musical productions.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39All you've got to do is tell us the name of the musical. Obviously, the more obscure answer the better.

0:25:39 > 0:25:45OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal the five images from musical productions. We have got...

0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's useful I'm saying these letters, isn't it?!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08OK. We'll put them all together. There they are.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11It's like a tourist brochure for London, isn't it?

0:26:11 > 0:26:17Very good. Tim and Anna, cos you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21There are the five musical productions in photographic form.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24You have to look for the one you think that the fewest

0:26:24 > 0:26:26of our 100 people knew.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28What do you think you're going to go for?

0:26:28 > 0:26:31THEY WHISPER

0:26:35 > 0:26:38We're going to go with C as Wicked.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42You're going to go with C and you're going to say Wicked. OK. Very good.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Jimmy and Dan.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47We know A and B.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50I thought I knew C but it must have a different name

0:26:50 > 0:26:54to what I thought it was. D and E, no idea. I really don't know.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57I'm happy to go with A.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Let's go with A. - We'll go for A.- OK.- Cats.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04A, Cats. So we have C, Wicked.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05We have A, Cats.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08In the order they were given, Tim and Anna said Wicked.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13It's right.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19There we are. 23.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21APPLAUSE

0:27:21 > 0:27:2323 for Wicked.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Jimmy and Dan said A was Cats.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's right.

0:27:34 > 0:27:3568.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38APPLAUSE

0:27:39 > 0:27:43So after one question, Tim and Anna are up 1-0. Richard.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well played, Tim and Anna. Let's take a look at all of them.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Yep, Cats was A at 68 points. B was...

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Lion King?- Lion King, absolutely right.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Would have scored you 54 points.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58C, great answer, indeed was Wicked with 23. D, do you know that one?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I might go Blood Brothers. - It is Blood Brothers.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Would have scored 13. Well done if you said that at home.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06The best answer is actually E. What do you think that is?

0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Fiddler On The Roof? - It is Fiddler On The Roof.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Would have scored 11 points. Very well done if you got all five.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Thank you very much, Richard. Here is your second question.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Listen well, Jimmy and Dan, you need to win this point

0:28:19 > 0:28:25to stay in the game. Our second question this afternoon concerns...

0:28:25 > 0:28:26Nelson Mandela.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Nelson Mandela. Richard.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32On this board, we're going to give you five clues to facts about Nelson Mandela.

0:28:32 > 0:28:37The more obscure fact you know, the better chance you'll have. The very best of luck.

0:28:37 > 0:28:41Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal the five facts and we have got...

0:28:54 > 0:28:57I'll read those one more time.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13There are your five facts. Jimmy and Dan,

0:29:13 > 0:29:15I'd like you to pick an answer to the one you think

0:29:15 > 0:29:18the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21- I know the prison.- Go for it.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Was the prison Robin Island?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Robin Island. OK. That's what you are going to submit.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31You have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Tim and Anna.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Well, we knew Robin Island.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38I assume he was born in South Africa.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Married Winnie Mandela in '58.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45But I think the Nobel Peace Prize... I think it was with...

0:29:45 > 0:29:49I'm hoping it was with the South African Prime Minister, erm...

0:29:49 > 0:29:52FW Botha.

0:29:52 > 0:29:57OK. You're going to go for the Nobel Peace Prize shared with FW Botha.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01So we have Robin Island and we have FW Botha as our two answers.

0:30:01 > 0:30:06In the order they were given, Jimmy and Dan, Robin Island, the prison in which he was incarcerated.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's right.

0:30:16 > 0:30:1819. 19 for Robin Island. Not bad at all.

0:30:18 > 0:30:23APPLAUSE

0:30:23 > 0:30:27And Tim and Anna, you have said FW Botha as the person with whom

0:30:27 > 0:30:29he shared the Nobel Peace Prize.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Let's see if that's right, and if it, is how many people said it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34FW Botha.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42Bad luck. Bad luck. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46Very well done, Jimmy and Dan. That was the point you needed to stay in the game.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49So after two questions, it is 1-1. Richard.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Very well played, Dan. Really pulled your team out of the fire there.

0:30:52 > 0:30:58Tim, PW Botha was South African Premier but it was FW de Klerk.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02Would have scored you 4 points and seen you into the final.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Well done if you said that at home. Let's go through the board.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09Country of birth is South Africa. Would have only scored you 58 points.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13I don't know where people think Mandela was born but it was South Africa.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17The wife he married, Winnie Mandela, absolutely right, would have scored you 56 points.

0:31:17 > 0:31:22The best answer would have scored 1 point, if you knew who he founded a law firm with.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26- Do you know it at all? - Oliver Tambo.- It is Oliver Tambo.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28Very, very well done if you got that.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your third question.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Whoever wins this question goes through to the final

0:31:34 > 0:31:37and plays for that jackpot of £11,750.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40OK. Our final question concerns...

0:31:43 > 0:31:47- ..Shakespeare Quotes. Richard. - We're going to show you five Shakespeare quotes on this board,

0:31:47 > 0:31:52all with the last word removed. You've simply got to give us that last word.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Obviously, the more obscure, the better.

0:31:54 > 0:31:59Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal those five Shakespeare quotes. We have got...

0:32:11 > 0:32:13OK, I'll read those again.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31So Tim and Anna, you go first. There are the quotes.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people could complete.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37We think we'll go with the fourth one.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- "This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle."- Isle, OK?

0:32:41 > 0:32:46Isle is what Tim and Anna are saying. Jimmy and Dan?

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Right...- We know the first one and then the rest...

0:32:49 > 0:32:53really not sure on. We're going to say the top one,

0:32:53 > 0:32:55"Fire burn and cauldron boil." Possibly.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59OK. "Fire burn and cauldron boil", say Jimmy and Dan.

0:32:59 > 0:33:04So we have isle and boil. Let's take them in the order they were given.

0:33:04 > 0:33:09Tim and Anna went with isle. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10It's right.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Very good indeed.

0:33:16 > 0:33:1744.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20APPLAUSE

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Jimmy and Dan have gone for cauldron boil.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it

0:33:27 > 0:33:29to decide who'll go through to the final.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Tim and Anna are through to the final, 2-1.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Very well done to them. Richard.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Well played, Tim and Anna. Jimmy and Dan, the witches in Macbeth say,

0:33:44 > 0:33:49"Fire burn and cauldron bubble." That would have scored 48 points.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53"It is the east and Juliet is the sun," spoken by Romeo in Romeo And Juliet.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57That would have scored 20 points and also got you through to the final.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01"Now is the winter of our discontent" is the opening line of Richard III.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04That would have scored you 78 points.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06That's impressively good scores from our 100 people.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10"It is the green-eyed monster," spoken by...

0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Do you know who says that line? - It's either Othello or King Lear.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's Iago in Othello. Absolutely right.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19That would have scored 74 points.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21Very well done if you got all five at home.

0:34:21 > 0:34:26A special celebration to the winner who got all 15 across musicals, Nelson Mandela and Shakespeare.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29OK. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33At the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid the losing pair is Jimmy and Dan.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Bad luck, bad luck. You did very well.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38You pulled it right back there with Robin Island.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Me, on the other hand, knew nothing.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Apologies, Dan. I didn't contribute there.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48Well, you've done very well. You've played incredibly well

0:34:48 > 0:34:53to get through to the head-to-head. This of course is only your first bite at the Pointless apple.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56You will be back next time and we look forward to seeing you then.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00Thanks, meanwhile, great contestants, Jimmy and Dan.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:02 > 0:35:06But for Tim and Anna it's now time for our Pointless Final.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:13 > 0:35:17Well, congratulations, Tim and Anna. You've fought off the competition

0:35:17 > 0:35:20and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless Jackpot.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £11,750.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35CHEERING

0:35:35 > 0:35:39The rules are very simple. All you has to do is find a pointless answer.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43We've had one pointless answer on the show today.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45You only have to find one more now.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47But first you've got to choose a category

0:35:47 > 0:35:50and you now have a choice of five categories

0:35:50 > 0:35:52and your options are...

0:36:01 > 0:36:04I know which one I'd go for.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08What do you think?

0:36:08 > 0:36:12I would really hope not football, especially Scottish football.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Words is really broad. New Labour...

0:36:15 > 0:36:19is quite broad. 20th-century literature? What would you prefer?

0:36:19 > 0:36:23- I'd prefer words out of that lot. - OK. We'll go with words.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You're going with words?- Yes. - Words it is. Let's find out what the question is.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:36:30 > 0:36:36as many words beginning and ending in K as they could. Richard.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39We're looking for any word in the Oxford English Dictionary

0:36:39 > 0:36:43which begins and ends in a K. No hyphenated words or proper nouns allowed.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48Richard, thank you very much. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:36:48 > 0:36:53and all you need to win that £11,750 is for just one of those answers

0:36:53 > 0:36:56to be pointless. Your minute begins now.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58I think this is your round.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Well, there's kayak.- Yep. - The little boat.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05The old unit of Polish currency was the kopeck.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Does it have to be in the dictionary or is it any word?

0:37:08 > 0:37:12It's in the dictionary I use for crosswords but I don't know about...

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Erm, kickback might be...- Oh, yeah.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Kick on itself has got K on either end.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Kickback, the whole thing, I think, probably...

0:37:21 > 0:37:25I'm really struggling, cos kayak was the only one I could think of.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29There's probably loads of Eskimo or Inuit type words.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- I wouldn't risk those.- Shall we stick with those three?- Yes.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Kickback, kopeck and kayak.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Are you happy with those?- Yes. - We can stop the clock. - Let's stop the clock.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43This is fantastic. You have time on your hands. We've stopped the clock ahead of time.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47You have three great-sounding answers. Let's hear them.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51The first one is kayak, the canoe.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54The second one is kopeck, the currency.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58The third one, desperately hoping there's no hyphen, is kickback.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Kickback. Now, of those three, which do you think is

0:38:01 > 0:38:05- your best crack at a pointless answer?- I think kopeck.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08We will put kopeck last. Which do you think is your least likely?

0:38:08 > 0:38:12Just in case it has got a hyphen, let's put kickback first.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Let's put those answers on the board and there they are.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Kickback, kayak and kopeck.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20They look even better written up there.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22Very good answers, I'm sure.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25Kickback was your least confident answer

0:38:25 > 0:38:28just because you weren't sure about the hyphen in the middle.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32So let's find out. Let's see if it's a correct answer.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37That's the first thing to find out. If it is, let's see how far down it goes.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40How many people said kickback? Good luck.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43It's right.

0:38:43 > 0:38:44It's right.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Down it goes into the 40s, into the 30s.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51If this goes all the way down, you will leave here with £11,750.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Down it goes! Oh!

0:38:53 > 0:38:55One person...

0:38:57 > 0:38:58..said kickback.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05Not bad for a first answer. Unfortunately though, not a pointless answer.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13What would you do with £11,750, Anna?

0:39:13 > 0:39:17- I'd definitely take all of my friends to Ibiza.- Very good. - And maybe Tim, if he's good.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21- Thank you! Yes, we'd have a seriously nice family holiday somewhere.- Excellent.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Anything else, Tim, you'd like to do with it?

0:39:24 > 0:39:27I might buy a few more cake tins.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29A few more cake tins?! Not with any cakes in?

0:39:29 > 0:39:33No, just cake tins, so I can bake more cakes in different shapes.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Splendid.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40OK, well, we were looking for words that began and ended in K,

0:39:40 > 0:39:42or that DO begin and end in K.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Your second answer is kayak.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Let's hope nobody said it. Let's see if it's right,

0:39:46 > 0:39:50and if it is, how many people said kayak.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54It's right.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Your last answer scored 1.

0:39:59 > 0:40:04If this goes lower than that, you are leaving here with £11,750.

0:40:04 > 0:40:05Ah! Kayak.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08APPLAUSE

0:40:10 > 0:40:1311 people thought of kayak.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16They won't have thought of kopeck though. Kopeck.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Kopeck, a wonderfully obscure word.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22OK, only one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:22 > 0:40:27Kopeck, everything is riding on kopeck, all £11,750.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30This was your most confident answer...

0:40:31 > 0:40:33..for a reason.

0:40:33 > 0:40:38Let's see if it can score your lowest score in this round.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42Kopeck, is it right? How many people said it?

0:40:46 > 0:40:48There we are. First answer went down to 1.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Your second answer, kayak, to 11.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54This is your most confident answer, down it goes, into the teens,

0:40:54 > 0:40:56into the low numbers, down it goes...

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Yes!

0:40:58 > 0:41:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:02 > 0:41:06Very, very well done. Fantastic.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Ibiza and cake tins galore. - Wonderful.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Congratulations.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Kopeck was a pointless answer, which means

0:41:27 > 0:41:32you go home with the jackpot of £11,750.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35- What have you done? - Kicked the set apart.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37It's fine. You can afford it.

0:41:39 > 0:41:44Very, very, very well done. Richard, what about that? Kopeck!

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Very well played, kopeck. All sorts of Eastern European coins

0:41:47 > 0:41:53come under that title, but an absolutely brilliant answer. There's a bunch of other pointless answers.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56There's kedlock, which is a variety of field mustard plants.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00Khatak, a Tibetan scarf. Kibbutznik, someone who lives on a kibbutz.

0:42:00 > 0:42:01Also a good name for a band.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05Next page. Kiddywink, pointless answer, well done if you said that.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Knitwork.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Knobstick.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11LAUGHTER

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Is that funny? - It's a pointless answer.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16I'm just telling you it's a pointless answer.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19I'm just looking at you and saying knobstick, nothing further than that.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Knockback also a pointless answer.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Knotwork. And there's kopeck at the bottom.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28Also, "kuark", which is the sound a crow makes,

0:42:28 > 0:42:31and "komeback", which is what Cheryl Cole needs to do.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34LAUGHTER

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Thanks once again to our winning players, Tim and Anna,

0:42:39 > 0:42:44who go home with today's jackpot of £11,750. Very well done.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE

0:42:48 > 0:42:52Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:42:52 > 0:42:57- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
