0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:26 > 0:00:29and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE

0:00:36 > 0:00:39So first up, we welcome Richard and Emma. Where have you come from?

0:00:39 > 0:00:44- Sheffield.- From Sheffield. Emma, what are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon?

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Anything to do with Patrick Swayze, really.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Anything to do with Patrick Swayze. - Yeah, anything.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53OK. You've got the full Swayze canon...?

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Not all of them, but I was in his fan club before he died.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01What, you just stopped being a fan after he died?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Well, no, but it's not the same, really.- Really?

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Yeah, but I've got a poster of him next to Daniel Craig and A-ha in my bedroom.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11- OK, that makes up for it, I'm sure. - Yeah.- Richard, how do you know Emma?

0:01:11 > 0:01:15I was at the delivery when she was delivered. I'm her dad.

0:01:15 > 0:01:21- Aw! I'm glad. You could have been the obstetrician, but yes.- Yes. - Or both!- True.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Richard, what'll be a strong suit for you?

0:01:23 > 0:01:28- '80s music, probably. - Why's that?- I used to be a DJ in the '80s.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Who was your favourite band? - Human League, probably.

0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Oh, Sheffield band as well. - True, I forgot. - Absolutely, love The Human League.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Very good. Lovely to have you here, welcome to the show.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Next, we welcome Nathan and Damian back to the show.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47This is your second chance. Remind us what happened.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50We lost in the deciding round of the head-to-head

0:01:50 > 0:01:51on Government acronyms.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Oh, Government acronyms! - DEFRA.- That's right, DEFRA.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00- You went for fisheries.- It used to be fisheries, but now it's food.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- I see.- Disappointed, I should've known!- Very disappointing.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - ..If it's food.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- To be fair, though, it wasn't crisps, was it?- No, it wasn't.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Crisps is Damian's particular pet subject.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18- They might come up.- Who knows? - They didn't last time. - No, I'm devastated.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Looking very strong for crisps. How do you two know each other, Nathan?

0:02:23 > 0:02:28- We're brothers. - What do you hope will come up? What will make up for the lack of crisps?

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Anything to do with West Ham. - OK, West Ham.- Or music.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37My favourite band of all time is Joy Division, closely followed by Suede.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Lovely to have you back, Nathan and Damian. Very best of luck.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Next, we welcome back Diane and Paula. You were also on the show last time.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Remand us what happened to you. - We went out in the second round.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- What was the category?- History. - Paula, what would you like to see come up?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Maybe children's literature.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Good, with particular emphasis on what, what are your favourite children's authors?

0:03:00 > 0:03:06Any sort of crossovers, so Alice In Wonderland, Narnia, Northern Lights.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- OK.- ..Harry Potter.- Harry Potter. Diane, how about you?

0:03:10 > 0:03:15I think '80s music would be a good subject.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18We've got The Human League, Joy Division, Suede...

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Favourite band? - Beautiful South, as was.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26- I was about to say, Aswad?! - "As was!" They're not together any more.- Indeed.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Well, very, very best of luck. Lovely having you back on the show.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Finally, we welcome Pam and Andrew. How do you two know each other?

0:03:34 > 0:03:39Well, one of my good friends, Martin, is Pamela's son.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Right, and where have you come from? - From Blyth in Northumberland.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- God's own country.- Exactly.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Pam, what do you hope will come up this afternoon?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Soaps, probably. Anything but Hollyoaks.- Anything but Hollyoaks? - Yes.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54And also '80s music again.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Pam, nominate your favourite band.

0:03:57 > 0:04:02- Queen.- Queen?- Meat Loaf.- Almost '70s music, actually.- Yes. - '70s, '80s music.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07- What do you do, Pam?- I work for St Oswald's Hospice in Newcastle.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- I'm a children's administrator. - Very good indeed. Andrew, what about you?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'm an archivist in the civil service.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Right, is that... I'm trying to think what that might turn into in a Pointless round.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Does that give you any strength in this show?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Not really. I would say that history's not a strong point.- OK.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- An archivist not so big on history! - AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I did manage to find Pamela in the archives, though.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33LAUGHTER

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Very good. Welcome, lovely to have you here. We'll find out more

0:04:37 > 0:04:39about all of you throughout the show.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Only one person left to introduce.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45When Google doesn't know something, they ask Richard. They "Richard" it.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51- He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya, hello. APPLAUSE

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Afternoon.- Top of the afternoon to you.- Are you well today?

0:04:56 > 0:05:01- I'm extremely well.- Should be a good show today. Nathan and Damian, very unlucky last time.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Went all the way through to the last point in the head-to-head, so they'll have

0:05:05 > 0:05:07just one extra point to prove today, I think.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10But Diane and Paula were unlucky in the round they got knocked out in,

0:05:10 > 0:05:12so they are tough competition as well.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15The good news for Emma, if you like everything about Patrick Swayze,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Round One is about Patrick Swayze's pets.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20LAUGHTER

0:05:20 > 0:05:25- So, good news? - Hmm, sort of. Sort of, no.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Very good. And after the Patrick Swayze's Pets round, anything else we can look forward to?

0:05:29 > 0:05:35Yes, we're looking for The Hats of Patrick Swayze in Round Two.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Very good. We'll look forward to that. Thank you, Richard.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41All our Pointless questions were put to 100 people before the show,

0:05:41 > 0:05:44but we are looking for the obscure answers that they didn't get.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47To stay in the game with a chance of winning our jackpot, our players need

0:05:47 > 0:05:51to score as few points as possible. What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer -

0:05:51 > 0:05:56an answer none of our 100 people gave. Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

0:05:56 > 0:06:04Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that. Today's jackpot starts off at...

0:06:04 > 0:06:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ready? Let's play Pointless.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30If you give an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points, so try and avoid those.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35Our first category this afternoon is...

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40THEY CONFER

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Whoever is first, step up to the podium.

0:06:45 > 0:06:53We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Richard.- Yeah, another one of our

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Hollywood couple questions. They've been a couple for nearly 30 years.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I need the name of any cinema feature film, for which either Kurt Russell

0:07:02 > 0:07:07or Goldie Hawn received an acting credit, or both of them together.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11No TV films, documentaries or short films, but voice performances count.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14I was going to give double points for a film with both,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16but that would be a very bad thing and pointless.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18LAUGHTER

0:07:18 > 0:07:23Thank you, Richard. Now, then, Emma and Richard, you all drew lots before the show,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and this afternoon, you are going to got first.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Emma, Kurt Russell... Well, let's start with film.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Films that don't have Daniel Craig or Patrick Swayze in them,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35do you even bother seeing them?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Yeah, I do. Unfortunately, I don't know who Goldie Hawn is.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44I might do... I'd probably know who they are if I saw them, but the names...

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Does that go for that go for Kurt Russell, as well?- I'm not sure. I've got an idea, but it could be wrong.

0:07:48 > 0:07:54My dad's probably screaming in his mind at me, right now, cos I know he'll have a good answer.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- So it's going to be a little bit of a guess.- OK.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02So, I'm going to say, Escape From LA.

0:08:02 > 0:08:10Escape From LA. I have no idea. I wouldn't even be able to come up with that.

0:08:10 > 0:08:15Escape From LA, says Emma. Is it right? If so, how many of our 100 people said Escape From LA?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's right! Very well done.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27It's a brilliant answer, Emma! Look at that!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Escape From LA scores you 5.

0:08:31 > 0:08:37Perfect answer, Emma. That is indeed Kurt Russell. The relief on your dad's face was a sight to behold.

0:08:37 > 0:08:391996 John Carpenter film.

0:08:39 > 0:08:47- Nathan... Nathan.- Yes. Going to go for Goldie Hawn and, I think, Private Benjamin.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52Private Benjamin. That is the answer I would have given.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53LAUGHTER

0:08:53 > 0:08:58We can find out together how much we jointly know about Goldie Hawn.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Private Benjamin, says Nathan. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:09:04 > 0:09:05It's right.

0:09:09 > 0:09:1032.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- 32 for Private Benjamin.- And 32 years old that film is, as well.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Not to depress anybody.- Really? - Yep, 1980.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Yeah.- Oh, wow.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29That's a kick in the teeth, isn't it?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31LAUGHTER

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Yeah.

0:09:32 > 0:09:38OK, Diane. So we're looking for Goldie Hawn or Kurt Russell films.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I think I'm going to go with Goldie Hawn and say, Death Becomes Her.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Death Becomes Her, Goldie Hawn.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Let's see if that's right. How many people said Death Becomes Her?

0:09:51 > 0:09:52It's right.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Look at that! Brilliant! What a great answer! Diane!

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Death Becomes Her.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Best score so far.- Great answer. Stars with Meryl Streep.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11They drink a potion which makes them immortal - only in the film.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Only in the film. - Although, you never know.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Perhaps they are.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Now, then, Pam.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Yes.- Remember, we are looking for Goldie Hawn or Kurt Russell films.

0:10:23 > 0:10:29- Is this a good category for you? - It was until the answers that have just gone that I was thinking of.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35I'm going to... I'm not sure if she was in it, but it's the only one I can think of,

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Nine Till Five. - OK, let's see if that's right.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41And if it is, how many of our 100 people said Nine Till Five.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Bad luck, Pam, I'm afraid that's incorrect,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:10:50 > 0:10:58- Richard.- Sorry, Pam, there's Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Nine To Five, but no Goldie Hawn.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03And no Kurt Russell, either. If he'd had a walk-on part, that would have been an amazing answer.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05A credited walk-on part, yeah.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Oh, well, it wasn't to be. Halfway through the round. The scores, as they stand.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12We've got everything there, from 1, where we find

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Diane and Paula, up to 5,

0:11:13 > 0:11:16where Emma and Richard are.

0:11:16 > 0:11:2032, Nathan and Damian, pretty strong there, right up to 100,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I'm afraid, where Pam and Andrew currently are.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28Andrew, I'm really hoping you've got a fantastic pointless answer

0:11:28 > 0:11:29lurking there somewhere.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31You've got a Kurt Russell film,

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I know you have. We're coming back down.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, Goldie Hawn or Kurt Russell films.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Andrew, you are the high scorers,

0:11:44 > 0:11:46on 100.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48What Pam needs from you now

0:11:48 > 0:11:50is a fabulous low score.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Well, Pamela is going to be very disappointed.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Unfortunately, I was in the same boat as Pamela.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57My two answers have both gone.

0:11:57 > 0:12:04So, I'm going to guess that Kurt Russell has been in some sort of

0:12:04 > 0:12:08fighting, war-type films. Don't even know what era it would be,

0:12:08 > 0:12:10but I'll say, Platoon.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Please can Kurt Russell be in Platoon? Let's see if that's right

0:12:13 > 0:12:15and, if so, how many people said Platoon.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18No red line for you, cos you're the highest scorers. Platoon.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- ALL:- Oh!

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Bad luck, Andrew. It's a good guess, but also a bad guess.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31It's an incorrect answer, causing you the maximum of 100 points,

0:12:31 > 0:12:35taking your total to an unbeatable 200, I'm sorry to say. Richard.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Sorry, Andrew, he's not in Platoon.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42It's Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton that are in that.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47- Paula... You're through to the next round.- Hurrah!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Even if you score 100, you won't overtake Andrew and Pam on 200,

0:12:50 > 0:12:54so that takes some pressure off. Maybe see if you can find a pointless answer

0:12:54 > 0:12:55somewhere at the back of your mind.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00I think Goldie Hawn was in a film called Housesitter.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02That sounds great.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Let's see if that's right. No red line, you're through.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Housesitter. How many people said it?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09It's right.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15It's right... Looks like it's going a long way down...

0:13:15 > 0:13:17That's 2, brilliant!

0:13:17 > 0:13:19APPLAUSE

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Gives you a total of 3.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25I told you Diane and Paula weren't going to muck around today.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28That's a brilliant score. 1992, Housesitter, with Steve Martin.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33Now, then...Damian, Nathan - you are through to the next round.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- That's the good news. Damian... - I've got a choice of two.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40One from each. But I think they're going to be quite high.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I'm going to go for Wildcats. - Wildcats.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- That's probably what you were trying to think of, Andrew.- It is.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49That's the one.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Better ask - is that Goldie Hawn or Kurt Russell?- Goldie Hawn, sorry.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56So it probably wasn't the one you were thinking of!

0:13:56 > 0:14:00I was thinking that was a war thing and then suddenly, nyah...maybe not.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Wildcats.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's right.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well done, Damian... Oh, look at that!

0:14:14 > 0:14:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Look at that!

0:14:16 > 0:14:21That's pointless. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,

0:14:21 > 0:14:23takes the total up to £2,250.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26It also scores you nothing and leave your total at 32.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Very well done, Damian.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Brilliant work. Our two returning pairs on fire.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34From 1986, she plays someone who takes over an inner-city high school football team,

0:14:34 > 0:14:37the Wildcats.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- First ever film of Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes.- Really?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Yep.- There we are. Now, Richard,

0:14:44 > 0:14:47there is good news - you're through to the next round.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Possibly slightly less good news is we require an answer from you, just for form's sake.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54We're looking for Goldie Hawn and/or Kurt Russell films.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56The one I think will probably,

0:14:56 > 0:15:00hopefully, be pointless would be The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- From Disney.- The Computer...? - Wore Tennis Shoes.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08- The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes? - I think so.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

0:15:12 > 0:15:17My Kurt Russell/Goldie Hawn knowledge is rubbish.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes - this surely, has got be pointless, hasn't it?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Hope so.- Well, let's see if it's right, first.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27If it is, let's see how may people said The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31It IS right.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36It is right. This could go a long way down, something tells me.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38and it does!

0:15:38 > 0:15:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:39 > 0:15:42That's brilliant. A pointless answer.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45It adds another £250 to today's jackpot

0:15:45 > 0:15:48and takes the total up to £2,500.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 5.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Have you seen The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes?

0:15:54 > 0:15:58It's an amazing answer - it is a Disney film from 1969.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02It's about a computer who wears tennis shoes. Or used to.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Used to wear tennis shoes and wouldn't wear them

0:16:06 > 0:16:07because of a traumatic incident.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Then it's about a high school coach played by Goldie Hawn,

0:16:11 > 0:16:13funnily enough, a very early role for her,

0:16:13 > 0:16:18and Kurt Russell plays, let's say... a computer maintenance engineer.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- And former tennis pro.- Brilliant.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24And they win the mixed doubles at Wimbledon.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29Against John Newcombe and Billie Jean King. It a very, very moving ending.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'm going to watch that.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35And at the end, Kurt Russell looks at the computer,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38and the computer goes, "Well...played...buddy,"

0:16:38 > 0:16:44and it's just...like that. It's absolutely lovely.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51So that aside, it is a terrific answer.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Two pointless answers in a row in the first round.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Let's take a look at some more pointless answers,

0:16:56 > 0:16:58see if you got any of these at home.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Deceived is a Goldie Hawn film.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02She's also in Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07She sings in that as well. She's also in Foul Play with Chevy Chase.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Poseidon - Kurt Russell is in the remake of the Poseidon Adventure.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Goldie is in Protocol. Silkwood, that's Kurt Russell with Meryl Streep.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Sugarland Express - very early Steven Spielberg film.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Goldie Hawn is in that.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21She's also in The Duchess And The Dirtwater Fox,

0:17:21 > 0:17:24and Kurt Russell was in the Tom Cruise movie, Vanilla Sky.

0:17:24 > 0:17:30There are three films that they both appeared in - Overboard, they're both in.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Swing Shift. And I have to look at this one -

0:17:32 > 0:17:35The One And Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Well done if you worked out any of those as well.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Thank you very much, Richard.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42So at the end of Round One,

0:17:42 > 0:17:44the losing pair with the highest score - it's Pam and Andrew.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Oh. You join our 200 club. - Thank you.- This is good.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52You're going out in a blaze of glory - it's good.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56Next time, we'll see you go all the way through to the final, I have absolutely no doubt.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01- We look forward to that. Andrew, Pam, thank you so much for playing. - APPLAUSE

0:18:03 > 0:18:06But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09APPLAUSE

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head,

0:18:15 > 0:18:18so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Our category for Round Two is...

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first and who'll go second?

0:18:26 > 0:18:31Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37OK, so our Round Two question concerns...

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Famous scientists and their countries of birth, Richard.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49We'll show you six on each pass - you tell us in which modern-day country they were born.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Give us a nice, obscure answer, to score fewer points, but give us a wrong one - it'll be 100.

0:18:53 > 0:18:5712 for you to get at home. As always, by country, we mean a member of the UN,

0:18:57 > 0:19:02- which is a sovereign state in its own right. - Thank you very much, Richard.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05So we're looking for the modern-day name of the countries in which

0:19:05 > 0:19:08these famous scientists were born. We have got...

0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'll read those one more time...

0:19:29 > 0:19:34There we are. Richard, what do you make of that little lot?

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Um... I can guess two. Or three.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Do you KNOW any? For sure?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Yes, I think I know one.- OK.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45I think I'll have to go safe

0:19:45 > 0:19:48with Aristotle and Greece.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Aristotle and Greece, you are saying. Let's see if that's right

0:19:51 > 0:19:54and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57It is right.

0:19:59 > 0:20:0160.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03APPLAUSE

0:20:04 > 0:20:0760 - not bad.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Better than 100, and it might be a tricky round

0:20:09 > 0:20:13for a few people. So 60 might not be a bad score by the end of it.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18- Nathan, how are you feeling about this?- Not confident.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21The one I'm going to go for is probably going to be quite high,

0:20:21 > 0:20:23but I'm going to go for Pierre Curie -

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- France.- Pierre Curie, France. Let's see if that's right

0:20:27 > 0:20:30and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's right.

0:20:34 > 0:20:3649.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38APPLAUSE

0:20:38 > 0:20:4149 not bad at all. Richard?

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Born in Paris in 1859, Pierre Curie. You're a scientist yourself, Nathan?

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Doesn't really help, though.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Diane? You're the last person to have this board,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53so you can talk us through all of these famous scientists.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58I don't know any, so I'm going to have a guess at Wilho...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Wilhelm Rot...Rontgen...?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Erm...!

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- And Germany.- Seems reasonable.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Wilhelm Rontgen - was it Germany?

0:21:07 > 0:21:10If it was, how any people knew that answer?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Very well done, Diane.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Look at that - down it goes - best answer of the round. Brilliant.

0:21:20 > 0:21:2520 to Diane for Wilhelm Rontgen - Germany.

0:21:25 > 0:21:30Best score of the round for the discoverer of the X-ray, Wilhelm Rontgen.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Let's take a look through the rest of the board.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37Hideki Yukawa is probably the least known,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40but I think a lot of people guessed Japan.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42He's probably the least known there

0:21:42 > 0:21:46but probably the most interesting of all the scientists on that board.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Do you know what he discovered? - Shreddies?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'm trying to have a serious discussion.

0:21:51 > 0:21:56He is the man who invented The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- There you go. - That was Hideki Yukawa.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Well done if you knew that at home.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Dennis Gabor is the man who invented the hologram.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07He was born in Hungary for 5 points. And the best answer

0:22:07 > 0:22:12would've scored you 1 point - Francis Beaufort - after whom the wind scale is named.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14He was born in what is now the Republic of Ireland.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Would've scored you just 1 point.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Very, very well done if you got all six.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24We're halfway through the round - let's see those scores.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Lovely low score from Diane.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29So Diane and Paula looking very strong on 20.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Up to 49, where we find Nathan and Damian, and then 60

0:22:32 > 0:22:35is where Richard is - Aristotle absolutely right,

0:22:35 > 0:22:38but quite a costly correct answer there.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Emma, we need a nice obscure answer if we're going to see you in the head-to-head.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Best of luck with that.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:22:49 > 0:22:52OK, we're going to put six more famous names on the board

0:22:52 > 0:22:54and we have got...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Alessandro Volta.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01That's John Travolta's... lesser-known brother.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Ernest Rutherford, Louis Pasteur,

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Albert Einstein, Marie Curie

0:23:05 > 0:23:07and Alfred Nobel.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I'll read those one more time...

0:23:16 > 0:23:20There we are. We are looking for the modern-day names of the countries

0:23:20 > 0:23:22in which these famous scientists were born.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27Paula, you're on 20 - the highest scorers on 60 are Emma and Richard.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31If you can score 39 or less, you are definitely in the next round.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Erm...

0:23:33 > 0:23:41not sure, but I'm going to go with Alessandro Volta and say Spain.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Alessandro Volta - Spain.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45OK, here's your red line.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Get below that line, you're through to the head-to-head. Best of luck.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Alessandro Volta - is Spain right?

0:23:52 > 0:23:53If it is, how many people said it?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Ooh, bad luck.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00That's an incorrect answer,

0:24:00 > 0:24:02which scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07That takes your total up to 120. Damian, you're on 49.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10The highest scorers are now Paula and Diane on 120.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14If you can score 70 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:24:14 > 0:24:20I'm going to have a stab in the dark at Alessandro Volta - Italy.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Alessandro Volta.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Is it right, Italy?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27And if it is, how many people said it?

0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's right.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35You're in the head-to-head.

0:24:35 > 0:24:3720.

0:24:37 > 0:24:3920 takes your total up to 69.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Very well played, Damian.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Safely through.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48Born in Como in 1745, was instrumental in the invention of the electric battery.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52OK, thank you very much indeed. Emma - moment of truth.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Paula and Diane are on 120, you're on 60.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00A score of 59 or less will keep you in the game.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05Remember, we need the modern-day names of the countries in which these famous scientists were born.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Talk us through the board if you like.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I've never heard of the second one.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12The third one,

0:25:12 > 0:25:17Louis Pasteur, I'll probably guess, with the name Louis, France.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22Albert Einstein - Germany, I think.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25That Marie one - don't know that one.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Alfred Nobel - I'll guess at Norway

0:25:28 > 0:25:30and I'm going to have that as my answer.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Alfred Nobel - Norway.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Here's your red line.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39If Alfred Nobel and Norway gets you below that red line,

0:25:39 > 0:25:42you are through to the head-to-head. Good luck. Is it right?

0:25:42 > 0:25:46And if it is, how many people said Alfred Nobel - Norway?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Oh...bad luck, Emma. Bad luck.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54That's an incorrect answer.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Scores you the maximum of 100 points

0:25:56 > 0:26:01and takes your total up to the new high of 160. Richard.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03A good wrong answer, if there is such a thing.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08He was born in Sweden, actually. But the Nobel organisation has strong ties to Norway.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10If you'd said Louis Pasteur, France,

0:26:10 > 0:26:13you'd still have been knocked out, cos that would have scored 66,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16but funnily enough, if you'd said Albert Einstein, Germany,

0:26:16 > 0:26:19you'd be through, because it's only 38 points.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Pierre Curie we found out was born in France, but Marie Curie - born in Poland.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Would've scored you 4 points.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28And Ernest Rutherford is a pointless answer.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30- America?- New Zealand.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Pointless answer - well done if you said that.- Thanks, Richard.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Emma and Richard, it's you.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40As Richard said,

0:26:40 > 0:26:44that was a good wrong answer. You can leave with your heads held high.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Any tips you're going to take away from your first appearance?

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Just probably have a guess, rather than... Cos it was a good guess.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I'm glad I went for it.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57You played so well, very strong in the first round - a pointless answer from Richard.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Lovely low score from you, Emma. We look forward to seeing you next time.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Emma and Richard, thanks so much.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05APPLAUSE

0:27:05 > 0:27:08But for the remaining two pairs,

0:27:08 > 0:27:12things are getting even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19Congratulations, Nathan and Damian, Diane and Paula.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22You are now only one round away from the final

0:27:22 > 0:27:27and the chance to win our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29APPLAUSE

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Obviously, only one pair can play for that money.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38To decide which pair it'll be, you're going to go head-to-head.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Each pair needs to answer just one of them, but you're allowed to confer.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49All you have to do is score less than the other pair to win that question.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Let's play head-to-head.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58APPLAUSE

0:27:59 > 0:28:01OK, here comes your first question.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04It concerns...

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Richard.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12We'll show you five photographs of people whose surname begins with Z.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15You just have to give us the most obscure of those, please.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Nathan and Damian,

0:28:18 > 0:28:22you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Let's reveal our five people whose surnames begin with Z

0:28:26 > 0:28:28and we have got...

0:28:39 > 0:28:41There is our Z list.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43LAUGHTER

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Nathan and Damian, you have to find the most obscure of those -

0:28:46 > 0:28:51the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54(I think the first one's Billy Zane.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- (Think it's Aldo Zilli. - Just do the first one.)

0:28:57 > 0:29:01- We're going to go for A - we think that's Billy Zane.- A.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Billy Zane.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05OK. Thank you very much. Diane and Paula.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09You can talk us through the whole board, if you like,

0:29:09 > 0:29:11before submitting your final answer.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12- (It's Aldo Zilli.- OK.)

0:29:13 > 0:29:18We know two of them. And we're going to go for B, who's Aldo Zilli.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24Aldo Zilli. So we have Billy Zane and Aldo Zilli.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Nathan and Damian, you have gone for A - Billy Zane. You're saying A is Billy Zane.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's right.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Ooh, it's a good answer - look at that. 19 for Billy Zane.

0:29:46 > 0:29:51So 19 is what you have to beat with Aldo Zilli, who you're saying is B.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53B, Aldo Zilli - is that right?

0:29:53 > 0:29:57If it is, how many people said Aldo Zilli?

0:29:59 > 0:30:00It's right.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Ooh, well done! You've done it - 8.

0:30:09 > 0:30:118 for Aldo Zilli - very well done.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14After one question, Diane and Paula are up 1-0. Richard.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18Well played, Diane and Paula. One answer on the board would've beaten Aldo Zilli -

0:30:18 > 0:30:19we'll get to that.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21There's Billy Zane, 19. Aldo Zilli, 8.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25C is Renee Zellweger - that was the highest scorer up there,

0:30:25 > 0:30:27would've scored you 47.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28D would've won the points -

0:30:28 > 0:30:31that's the president of South Africa since 2009, Jacob Zuma.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Would've scored you 1 point.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37And E is the former Chelsea striker,

0:30:37 > 0:30:38Gianfranco Zola.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41He would have scored you 11.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Can I just say...

0:30:43 > 0:30:46that doesn't really look like Renee Zellweger.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50Do you not think? To be fair, that's cos you're looking at Jacob Zuma.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Oh, THAT'S her there. Oh, yes. Yep.

0:30:54 > 0:30:59Yep. Fair enough. OK, here's your second question. Nathan and Damian,

0:30:59 > 0:31:03you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06Here comes your second question - it concerns...

0:31:07 > 0:31:09THEY GIGGLE

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Anything you'd like to share with us, ladies?

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Why are you laughing at that?

0:31:13 > 0:31:19We rib somebody at work, cos he hates Oliver Twist, and we say, "What would you do not to read it?"

0:31:19 > 0:31:22And he goes, "Anything!" Like that. He's never heard it,

0:31:22 > 0:31:26so he doesn't even know that's a song in it.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29..Richard.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29LAUGHTER

0:31:31 > 0:31:34This time we're going to give you five clues

0:31:34 > 0:31:35to facts about Oliver Twist.

0:31:35 > 0:31:40- The most obscure facts win you the points.- Thank you very much.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Oliver Twist, and we've got...

0:31:57 > 0:31:58I'll read those one more time...

0:32:07 > 0:32:11So there are your five clues to facts about Oliver Twist.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Diane and Paula, you go first this time.

0:32:17 > 0:32:21We're going to go with the name of Bill Sikes' dog, which is Bull's-eye.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Bull's-eye. Bull's-eye for Bill Sikes' dog.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Nathan and Damian, you can talk out loud if you like,

0:32:26 > 0:32:29go through the rest of the board.

0:32:29 > 0:32:34Hopefully it was written by Charles Dickens. But...!

0:32:35 > 0:32:39Shall we go for century published? 19th century.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41OK, 19th century.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44So we have Bull's-eye for Bill Sikes' dog

0:32:44 > 0:32:48and the 19th century for the century in which it was written.

0:32:48 > 0:32:53Diane and Paula, Bull's-eye - is it right? How many people said it?

0:32:55 > 0:32:56It's right.

0:33:00 > 0:33:0220.

0:33:04 > 0:33:0720 for Bull's-eye.

0:33:07 > 0:33:13Nathan and Damian, 20 is what you've got to beat to stay in the game.

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Very best of luck.

0:33:14 > 0:33:1719th century - Nathan and Damian have said was the century in which

0:33:17 > 0:33:22it was written. Is that right and, if it is, many people said it?

0:33:23 > 0:33:26It is right. Down it goes.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Ooh!

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Bad luck.

0:33:32 > 0:33:3438.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Which means, after only two questions,

0:33:37 > 0:33:41Diane and Paula are through to the final, 2-0. Richard.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48Tough luck, guys. You played well throughout and last time, as well.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Two head-to-heads. But very well done, Diane and Paula.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Let's fill in the rest of the board.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Nathan, you're quite right - Charles Dickens. That's a relief!

0:33:56 > 0:34:00Would have scored 77, so plenty of people who DON'T know that.

0:34:00 > 0:34:05The name of the parish beadle is Mr Bumble.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07That would've scored you 10 points.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10You also would have won the point if you'd given us the best answer

0:34:10 > 0:34:13on the board, which is the real name of the Artful Dodger.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Jack Dawkins would have scored 4 points,

0:34:15 > 0:34:18so very well done if you said that at home.

0:34:18 > 0:34:19Thank you very much, Richard.

0:34:19 > 0:34:24So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Nathan and Damian.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25We've come to the end of the road.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30But you made it through to the head-to-head last time, with another very, very close...

0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Still no trophy.- Come back in a disguise another time.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37I'll just wear a dress.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39That would do it.

0:34:39 > 0:34:44Fantastic. Sorry, I'm just getting that picture out of my head!

0:34:44 > 0:34:49You've been brilliant, played fantastically in both shows,

0:34:49 > 0:34:53and I'm sorry that we won't see you through to the final. Nathan and Damian, thanks so much.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55APPLAUSE

0:34:57 > 0:35:01But for Diane and Paula, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05APPLAUSE

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Congratulations, Diane and Paula. You have fought off all the competition

0:35:10 > 0:35:15- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. - BOTH: Hurray!

0:35:19 > 0:35:22You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29APPLAUSE

0:35:29 > 0:35:34The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36We've had two pointless answers today.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39You only have to find one more and you'll go home with that money.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44First you have to choose a category from these five options. They are...

0:35:52 > 0:35:54What do you think?

0:35:54 > 0:36:00- You're good at Children's Books. - What if it's awful?- Might be awful.

0:36:00 > 0:36:01Let's try it anyway.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05- OK.- Can we have Children's Books, please?- Children's books.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09- It's what you said.- Yes, it might come back to bite me in the...

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Remind us what your strong areas are in children's literature.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Harry Potter, crossover ones...

0:36:15 > 0:36:17books you can read as an adult.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21You said that before, and I was thinking, "What does crossover mean?"

0:36:21 > 0:36:23But now you've explained. Good, thank you.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Let's find out what the question is. Very best of luck.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:36:33 > 0:36:37- Richard. - Well, it's a Potter, if that helps.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39We're looking for any specific character

0:36:39 > 0:36:44mentioned in the title of any of the 23 tales of Beatrix Potter, please.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47It has to be a real character's name, so not, for example, Two Bad Mice -

0:36:47 > 0:36:50just a specific name mentioned in one of the books by Beatrix Potter.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55- When those books have more than one character in the title, we'll accept either of those characters.- OK.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04All you need to win that £2,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:04 > 0:37:09- You ready?- Yes.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15There's The Tale Of Jeremy Fisher, who was a frog.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18The Tale Of Tom Kitten, who was a kitten!

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Then there's Jemima Puddle-Duck.

0:37:20 > 0:37:26- That'll be popular.- Peter Rabbit. - Yeah.- Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, who I love.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28She's my favourite.

0:37:30 > 0:37:36- I think the first two...- Maybe just say Mrs Tiggy-Winkle as a...

0:37:37 > 0:37:42- So, Jeremy Fisher, The Tale Of Tom Kitten, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.- Yeah.- There we are.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45We'll stop the clock. Fantastic.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49You didn't even need the full minute.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51You've come up with three answers.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55We were looking for eponymous tales of Beatrix Potter...

0:37:55 > 0:37:59characters who feature in the title. I now need your three answers.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03We're going to go for The Tale Of Jeremy Fisher...

0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Jeremy Fisher. - ..The Tale Of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle...

0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. - ..and The Tale Of Tom Kitten. - And Tom Kitten.

0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?- Jeremy Fisher.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20- We'll put him last. Your least likely?- Miss Tiggy-Winkle.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24We'll put her first. OK. We'll put them up on the board in that order.

0:38:24 > 0:38:30Here they are. Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Tom Kitten and Jeremy Fisher.

0:38:30 > 0:38:35We were looking for eponymous Beatrix Potter books.

0:38:35 > 0:38:41Your first answer, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, is your least confident shot at a pointless answer.

0:38:41 > 0:38:46Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that £2,500 jackpot.

0:38:46 > 0:38:52Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, is that right? If it is, let's see how many people said Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54It's right.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Down it goes.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00If this goes all the way down to 0, you will be leaving here with £2,500.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Still going down into the 30s, 20s...

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Teens... Whoa - 16.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07APPLAUSE

0:39:07 > 0:39:1116 for Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. Unfortunately not a pointless answer.

0:39:11 > 0:39:16You only have two more chances to win that jackpot. What you think?

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Is that a fair score?- It was lower than I thought.- A lot lower.

0:39:19 > 0:39:24OK. Now, 2,500 quid, what would you do with that?

0:39:24 > 0:39:27I'd put a deposit on a new car, because mine's a bit of a shed.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31Bit of a shed! ..How about yours? How about yours?!

0:39:31 > 0:39:34- How about your car, Diane? - My car's all right!- Good!

0:39:34 > 0:39:42- How about you, Diane?- I'm booking a holiday. Caribbean. Yes.- Very good.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Very best of luck. Let's hope you can do that.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49Let's hope nobody said your next answer. The Tale Of Tom Kitten.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Tom Kitten.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54This has to be correct and pointless if you're going to win that jackpot,

0:39:54 > 0:39:58so for £2,500, how many people said Tom Kitten?

0:40:01 > 0:40:03It's also right.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Mrs Tiggy-Winkle went down to 16.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08How much further down do you think Tom Kitten is going to go?

0:40:08 > 0:40:12If it goes all the way to 0, you will leave here with...

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Oh. 6. 6!

0:40:15 > 0:40:19APPLAUSE

0:40:21 > 0:40:26It's a great answer, though. Only one more chance, though.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30This next one has to be pointless if you're going to win today's jackpot.

0:40:30 > 0:40:35We're looking for Beatrix Potter - eponymous book titles.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Your last answer was Jeremy Fisher. Let's see if that's right.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41This was your most confident answer.

0:40:41 > 0:40:47It has to be correct and it has to go all the way down to 0 and if it does both of those things,

0:40:47 > 0:40:51you'll be leaving here with £2,500. Is Jeremy Fisher pointless?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, he's right.

0:40:58 > 0:41:0216 and 6.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's all moving in the right direction, down it goes.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06If this goes down to 0...

0:41:06 > 0:41:09Ooh! No! 9...

0:41:09 > 0:41:11for Jeremy Fisher!

0:41:11 > 0:41:14APPLAUSE

0:41:14 > 0:41:19Three great answers there, but, unfortunately, you didn't manage

0:41:19 > 0:41:24to find that all-important pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500,

0:41:24 > 0:41:28which rolls over to the next show. You've been brilliant contestants

0:41:28 > 0:41:32and of course you do take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE

0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Richard.- You played so well, particularly in the head-to-head.

0:41:41 > 0:41:47I'll show you all the pointless answers now. I suspect you'll know some of them. I hope not.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Little Pig Robinson was a pointless answer, Cecily Parsley,

0:41:50 > 0:41:53from Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Ginger from The Tale Of Ginger And Pickles - all of those, pointless.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Mr Tod, the villainous fox, and Mrs Tittlemouse - pointless.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Pickles from The Tale Of Ginger And Pickles, also pointless.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Pigling Bland, Samuel Whiskers, Timmy Tiptoes.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10But I suspect some people got those at home, so well done if you did.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14Thank you very much, Richard. You knew some of those, didn't you?

0:42:14 > 0:42:17If you'd used the full minute, might you have remembered them?

0:42:17 > 0:42:20- It's very hard to know, isn't it? - Probably not, to be fair.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24- Hard to pick which one is going to be pointless.- It is.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you. It's been brilliant having you on the show.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant. - BOTH: Thank you.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34APPLAUSE

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Unfortunately, Diane and Paula didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:37 > 0:42:40so it rolls over, which means on the next show,

0:42:40 > 0:42:43we will be playing for £3,500.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45- ALL:- Ooh!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50And goodbye from me - goodbye.
