0:00:22 > 0:00:24APPLAUSE

0:00:26 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Welcome, John and Terry.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45You are our first pair on the show this afternoon.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46How do you two know each other?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Well, we've worked together for about seven years now.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- In Plymouth in Devon, sunny Devon.- Beautiful Devon.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Beautiful, sunny Devon. What do you do, Terry?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- I'm a taxi driver, same as John. - Plymouth, Plymouth, Plymouth.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02If you were going, let's say, from Union Street,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05picking up in Union Street, going to the hospital, to Derriford,

0:01:05 > 0:01:06which route would you advise, Terry?

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Longest, John?- Well, it's usually the longest, yeah.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Longest, normally. - LAUGHTER

0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, John, let say, I mean, it's unlikely,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17but let's say Plymouth taxi routes don't come up this afternoon,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- what else would you like? - I don't mind a bit of music.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23I listen to a lot of radio in my job, as you can imagine.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Geography, don't mind.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27How about you, Terry? What would be good for you?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- The Wombles.- Oh.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- The Wombles. - Favourite Womble, Terry?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, I don't want to give the game away

0:01:34 > 0:01:36but it would have to be Orinoco.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40John, Terry, it's lovely to have you on the show, welcome to Pointless.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42And next, we welcome back Bill and Bryan.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43You were on the show last time.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47And this is your second chance.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Remind us how you know each other. - Father and son.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Father and son from Chester-le-Street

0:01:54 > 0:01:56in County Durham, home of Durham County Cricket Club, of course.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Yes.- So, what happened last time, Bill?- Mental block.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03We got a question on the 2012 Paralympics

0:02:03 > 0:02:05and we didn't do very well, unfortunately.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Oh.- And we left in the first round.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11But I think, chastened today. Today, you've come back with your jaws set.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Not literally, there wasn't a punch-up.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16But you've, I think you've got your eyes set on the prize.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I think we're going to see much more of you this afternoon,

0:02:19 > 0:02:20- something tells me.- Hopefully.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Now, that's right, I remember Bill.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Bill, before he answers any question, goes "Ha-ha-ha-ha".

0:02:26 > 0:02:28And then answers the question.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, Bill, what are you looking forward to coming up this afternoon?

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Ha-ha-ha-ha.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I've done it for you, there. - Well, thank you very glad.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Australia.- Australia. - Hm-mm.- Bryan.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41What would you like to see come up this afternoon?

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- TV, entertainment, films. - Entertainment, films.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47What sort of TV do you watch, Bryan?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Do you have any particular TV you like to watch?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Or do you just what what's on?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Game shows. I watch a lot of Pointless.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Actually, if I'm at work, I record them.- Do you really?

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Quite a few people do that. I'm very flattered to say.- I do.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Lovely to have you here, Bill and Bryan.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Let's see more of you than we did last time.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05And next, we welcome Lucy and Maggie.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- How do you two know each other? - This is my mum.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11And we're both from Luton.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Very good indeed. Maggie, what do you do?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm deputy head of a primary school in Luton.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17She says that quite nervously.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Yeah, cos teachers, as you know,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22famously, do very well on Pointless, don't they?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's a bit of a worry, yeah.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Lucy, what do you do?- I'm a student.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28I'm doing a Master's in journalism at the moment.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Do they send you out? - They do.- Do you go off...?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Roving reporter, I am. - Wow, fantastic.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Do you have particular areas that you have to cover?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Or is it up to you? Do you just go and find something of interest?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's mostly local news at the moment.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43What's been your favourite story so far?

0:03:43 > 0:03:46I did one about a free-range chicken shop which was interesting.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I ended up walking three miles just to record the noise of some chickens

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- at a city farm. - Well, it's a free-range shop.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53No-one can predict where it's going to be.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56LAUGHTER

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Lucy, what you like to see come up this afternoon?

0:03:58 > 0:04:03- What would be a great area?- For me, it's got to be reality TV, I think.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Right. Any particular reality TV or do you watch them all?

0:04:06 > 0:04:07Rather shamefully, probably,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10The Only Way Is Essex would be my top subject.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- You're quite a fan of that as well, Maggie?- I am indeed, yes.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Do you watch quite a lot of stuff together?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Yeah, we do really, don't we? Yes. - You're quite a good team, actually.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Hopefully.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Anything you'd hate to see come up? - Sport.- Sport. Any sport?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Any sport at all.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Right you are. We'll keep our fingers crossed for no sport.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Best of luck, it's lovely to have you here.- Thank you.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31And finally, we've got Matt and Vicki.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- How do you two know each other? - We are a couple, Alexander.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Very good. Where have you come from, Matt?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39We've come from Devon, down in the West Country.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Down in the West Country. What do you do, Matt?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I'm a logistics coordinator. - A logistics coordinator.- Right.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47You know what, I was about to say, "Yes, good". What actually is that?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50It's moving people and equipment from A to B as quickly as possible.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51So, it's not that exciting.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- What you're saying, essentially, is, you're a taxi driver.- More or less.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- Yeah. I work with the two fellas down the end.- Vicki, what do you do?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm a legal assistant.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- And what do you like doing in your spare time, Vicki?- I mystery dine.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08So, critique restaurants.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- You mystery dine.- I do.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yes, yes, work for a proper company in my spare time.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Do they foot the bill for you? - They do, yes.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Matt, do you ever get taken out as mystery diner's plus one?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- No.- No!- Never.- Blimey.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21Well, listen,

0:05:21 > 0:05:24we'll look forward to finding out more about all of you on the show.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27There's only one person left for me to introduce.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29My right-hand man, sitting on my left,

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- it's my Pointless friend Richard. - Hiya.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Afternoon.- Good afternoon to you. - How are you? Are you well?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I'm extremely well, thank you.- It's a wide open field today, isn't it?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Only one returning pair, Bill and Bryan

0:05:44 > 0:05:46and we didn't see very much of them last time.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I worry. You know mystery diners?- Yeah.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51You know they have mystery quiz show contestants as well,

0:05:51 > 0:05:52did you know that?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54And I think...

0:05:55 > 0:05:57(Lucy.)

0:05:57 > 0:05:58Really?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- (So, be really nice.)- OK, yeah.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Thanks very much, Richard. Thanks for the tip-off.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show

0:06:13 > 0:06:16but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,

0:06:18 > 0:06:21all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Now, what everyone is trying to do, of course,

0:06:23 > 0:06:25is to find a pointless answer.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30And each time that happens, we will 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Tom and Jock won the jackpot last time.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37So, today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK, let's play Pointless.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50OK, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer

0:06:50 > 0:06:52and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round

0:06:55 > 0:06:56will be eliminated.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00they will score the maximum of 100 points.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, try and avoid those if you can.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04OK, our first category this afternoon is...

0:07:08 > 0:07:10European languages.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:07:12 > 0:07:14who's going to go second.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22OK, our question concerns...

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Spanish words for food, Richard.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31On each pass, we're going to give you seven Spanish terms for common food.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34You have to tell us what they are in English.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Give us a nice, obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Give us an incorrect answer, though, you're going to score 100 points.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- 14 in all to have a go at, at home. - OK, thanks very much.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Right, John and Terry, you all drew lots before the show

0:07:46 > 0:07:49and today, you are going first.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53So, we're looking for the English for these Spanish terms for food.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54And we have...

0:08:06 > 0:08:07I'll do that again.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22There we are. Those are the Spanish words for certain food items.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25We need the English translations. Terry, what do you think?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29There's a couple there I think I do know.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34But I'll have to go pretty safe, I think,

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and go with calamari is squid.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Calamari, squid, says Terry. Let's see if that's right.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42And if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43Calamari is squid.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45It's right.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Quite a high score there, Terry. 63. - A big score but a safe score.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55At least it's not 100. Yeah, calamari, squid.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00The largest ever squid caught was in New Zealand. It was over 70 stone.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Really?- Yeah, a species of colossal squid. 70 stone.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06And the calamari rings would have been the size of tractor tyres.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Imagine the batter to go on that as well.- The batter.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12LAUGHTER

0:09:12 > 0:09:16There we go. Bryan, so, sorry, all this preamble. Bryan, Spanish.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Do you speak Spanish?- Not a word.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22I think I'll take a stab in the dark. Pan.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Pastry. Yeah.- Pan, pastry.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Let's see if that's right.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29And if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30Pastry for pan.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Oh, bad luck, Bryan.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:09:37 > 0:09:40which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41I'm sorry. Richard.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Sorry, Bryan, but Terry's a lot happier about his 63 points now.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, some good has come of it.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Remember, we are looking for the English translations

0:09:50 > 0:09:52of these Spanish food items.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Lucy.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58I'm going to be completely guessing as well with this one, I think.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03I think I'm going to go with patata and just hope that it is potatoes.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Patata, potato, says Lucy.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09ALEXANDER MOUTHS

0:10:10 > 0:10:15Is it right? How many people knew that answer? Patata, potato.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Very well done.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24The best score so far.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26APPLAUSE

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Just the kind of score I would have expected Lucy to have got, there.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I mean, genuinely amazing.- Amazing.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Patatas bravas, is one of the more famous tapas dishes, isn't it?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Brave potatoes, yes. - Which is Spanish for brave potatoes.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43I thought that was a very brave answer, if I may be so bold.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Be so brava.- It took some guts, didn't it?- Yeah, it certainly did.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Took brains and guts.- Absolutely.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Vicki, we come to you. You are the last person to have this board.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56So, feel free to talk through it all.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Two that I knew have already gone.

0:11:00 > 0:11:07- I don't know ce-bo-la or lechuga. - "Ce-bo-la"! Sorry. The-bo-ya.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11But queso is cheese.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Pan is bread, I think.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18But the one I'm going to go for is naran-hah.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- For orange.- Sounds good to me.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Let's see if that's right. And if it is let's see

0:11:22 > 0:11:26how many of our 100 people said naran-hah, orange.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27LAUGHTER

0:11:29 > 0:11:30It's right.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Very well done.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Very well done, indeed. Naranja.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Good answer, Vicki. Best answer of the round.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Actually, both your pronunciations is slightly wrong. It's narranjah.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50LAUGHTER Let's go through the rest of the board.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Vicki's already taken us through some of the bigger answers.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Pan, you're absolutely right, is bread.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56That would have scored 33. A better answer.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59And even better than that would have been queso, cheese.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Which would have scored you 22.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05The other two, cebolla which is onion would have scored you 9.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08And the best answer on the board is lechuga which is lettuce.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Would have scored 7 points. Very well done if you said that at home.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Lettuce.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17You know, if we called cheese queso, I think I'd eat a lot less of it.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- It's a bit oily.- Do you mainly eat cheese because of its name?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22On the whole, yes.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24LAUGHTER

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Queso.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28- A bit of melted queso.- Yeah.- No?- Hm.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Fromage, mmm.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Mmm, mmm, mmm.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Cheese, I'll have a bit of that as well. I'll have a hunk of that.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- But not too much.- The Spanish are famous for their cheese, of course.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Name a Spanish cheese. Shh, that's Round Two.- OK.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK, we're halfway through the round.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Vicki, lovely score from you, 35. Looking very strong indeed.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Then up to 49. Great answer from Lucy.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Up to 63 where we find John and Terry.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03And then up to 100 where Bryan and Bill are residing.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Bill, I'm really hoping your Spanish is absolutely first rate.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Marvellous.- Because we need

0:13:08 > 0:13:10a lovely, obscure, low-scoring answer

0:13:10 > 0:13:13from you on the next pass if we're going to see more of you.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14We're going to come back down the line.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23OK, we're going to put seven more Spanish words for food items

0:13:23 > 0:13:25on the board and here they are, we have got...

0:13:37 > 0:13:41I'll read those slightly less haltingly.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Pescado.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Jamon.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Pollo.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Zanahoria.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Manzana.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Ajo.- Bless you.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- LAUGHTER - Gambas.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I so apologise if you are Spanish. I'm so sorry. OK, there we are.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Matt, remember, we are looking for the English versions

0:14:02 > 0:14:04of these Spanish food items. And you're, obviously,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people could name.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09You're on 35, the low-scorers,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12after Vicki's excellent answer in the first pass.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14High-scorers are Bill and Bryan on 100.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16That means if you can score 64 or less,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19you are in the next round.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24The only one that really jumped out at me was jamon

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- which I'll go for ham. - Jamon, says Matt.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31Let's see if that's right. And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32Here's your red line.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Below that red line you are through to Round Two, for sure. Jamon.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's right.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41And you are through to the next round.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42Very well done. 48 for jamon.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Which, added to 35, takes your total up to 83.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Richard.- Well done, Matt.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's very difficult to be a vegetarian in Spain.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53A cheese sandwich is about it.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55But then they go, "I'd love a cheese sandwich.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56"Oh, queso. Huh.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58"Just the...

0:14:58 > 0:15:01"Might have some of that ham, actually."

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Maggie, you are on 49.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07The high-scorers are Bill and Bryan on 100.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08A score of 50 or less from you

0:15:08 > 0:15:11will see you comfortably into the next round.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Remember, we are looking for the English translations

0:15:14 > 0:15:17of these Spanish food items.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Is this good for you, Maggie? - Not too bad.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24I don't speak Spanish but I did do Latin at school. I also did French.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28So, I'm going to make a guess that pollo is chicken.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Chicken, says Maggie. Pollo, chicken.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Here is your red line, Maggie. Exactly halfway down the column.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36If you get below that, you are definitely in the next round.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Pollo, chicken, says Maggie. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:15:41 > 0:15:42It is right.

0:15:46 > 0:15:4857. That takes your total up to 106.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Bill, you are no longer the high-scorers.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54The high-scorers are now Maggie and Lucy on 106.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58You are on 100, which means a score of 5 or less

0:15:58 > 0:16:01will see you waltzing into the next round.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Oh, dear.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Pescado, mushroom.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Here is your red line, it's quite low.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Sort of mushroom-height.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14LAUGHTER

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Let's see if pescado is a mushroom.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people

0:16:18 > 0:16:21said pescado was a mushroom.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Oh, Bill and Bryan.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm sorry to say

0:16:28 > 0:16:31that's an incorrect answer which takes your total up to

0:16:31 > 0:16:33an unbeatable 200 points. Richard.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Sorry, Bill, I won't give the correct answer

0:16:35 > 0:16:37just in case John wants to have a go at the same one.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Now then, John.- Hello.- You're the last person to have this board.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Talk us through it. It doesn't matter if you score 100 points.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Even if you get it wrong,

0:16:45 > 0:16:49you still won't overtake Bill and Bryan's high score of 200.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Alexander, it's all Greek to me.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53LAUGHTER

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- On one point you're wrong, there, but, yes.- Yes.

0:16:55 > 0:17:00I, I, I don't have a clue what any of them are. But...

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Let's go ajo. Perhaps it's rice? With it being a small word.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10I presume you mean a-ho, there. One up from the bottom.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13A-ho, rice, says John. Let's see, ajo, is it rice?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16And if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Bad luck. It's not rice.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23It scores you 100 points, being an incorrect answer

0:17:23 > 0:17:25but you are still through to the next round. Total 163.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Richard.- Worth a guess, John. Ajo is actually garlic.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Did you know the Spanish eat garlic a lot at breakfast?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34- Did you know that? - That doesn't surprise me.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37That's where the song, A-jo, A-jo, It's Off To Work We Go, comes from.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40LAUGHTER

0:17:42 > 0:17:43- Wow.- Yeah. Did you know that?

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Richard, that, that's the worst joke you've ever made.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Yes.- You're normally... But you're better than that, Richard.- No.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52That's the sort of joke I make.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Let's go through the rest of the board.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Pescado is...simply, it's fish.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Would have scored 34 points.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Gambas.- Prawns. - Prawns, absolutely right.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Manzana is an apple.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08That would have scored 12.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10And zanahoria is the best answer on the board.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It's carrots.- Oh, it's carrots. - Would have scored 5 points.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Very well done if you went through that board.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Very well done if you can pronounce them as well.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Apologies for our pronunciations.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- I'm so sorry.- We did our best, didn't we?- Yeah, we did.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Did our best.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round One,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28the losing pair with the highest score, it's Bill and Bryan.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33Bill and Bryan. You've come all the way from Chester-le-Street.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35And in both Pointless shows you've been in,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38we've had to say goodbye to you at the end of the first round.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40What have you to say for yourselves?

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Proves a point, doesn't it?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44The point being...?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47We know nothing about the Olympics and nothing about Spain.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh, dear. Yes, Paralympics and Spain.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Two things you need to know more about.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55I suggest you head off to a tapas bar and drown your sorrows.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, it's been lovely having you on the show.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'm so sorry we haven't seen you at your best.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I know that there are Bill and Bryan areas of expertise

0:19:04 > 0:19:06that we simply haven't even touched on.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Really?- You're just going to... - LAUGHTER

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Really?- You may well have seen us at our best.- Well, maybe we did.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I don't know. Either way, it's been great having you on the show.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Thank you, Bill and Bryan. - Thank you.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- APPLAUSE - Good luck.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Now, obviously, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36So, one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us

0:19:36 > 0:19:37at the end of this round.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, our category for Round Two is...

0:19:42 > 0:19:44US presidents.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:19:46 > 0:19:48who's going to go second.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:19:59 > 0:20:04to name as many unique presidential names as they could.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Richard.- Yeah, interesting question, this one.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09It might drive some people at home mad, I think.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13There have been 44 American presidents up to the start of 2012.

0:20:13 > 0:20:1519 of them have got unique names.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19That means no other president shared their surname or their first name.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23So, unique names. 19 of them. Which is the most of obscure of those?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27And we're taking their names as listed on the White House website.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Very good, indeed. OK, so, Terry.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33American presidents.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36I think I'll have to play right down the middle again.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40I think I'll go Ronald Reagan.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Ronald Reagan, says Terry. Let's see. Is that right, Ronald Reagan?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46And if it is, how many of our 100 people said Ronald Reagan?

0:20:48 > 0:20:49It's right.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56APPLAUSE

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Quite happy with that.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- 49, Richard. - Yeah, well played, Terry.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04The first Ronald to be president and the first Reagan to be president.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Very good. Maggie.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Maggie.- Do you know, I'm not sure about this one

0:21:09 > 0:21:10but I'm going to go with it anyway.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15- And that is Gerald Ford. - Gerald Ford, says Maggie.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Let's see if that's right.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Gerald Ford.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23It's right.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Look at that.

0:21:29 > 0:21:3111 for Maggie.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33APPLAUSE

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Very well done, indeed. 11. Gerald Ford.- Yeah, well played, Maggie.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Used to be a model, Gerald Ford. In the '40s.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43- You know that?- No.- Yeah.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- A model. Gerald Ford? You mean a car?- No, I don't mean a car.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50LAUGHTER

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I mean an actual model. Like a magazine model.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Thank you very much, Richard.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00Vicki, who is the most obscure US president with a unique name

0:22:00 > 0:22:02you can think of?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05This is awful. I can think of two.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11One I know is right but I think it'll be a high answer.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14The other one, I'm not sure if it is right or not,

0:22:14 > 0:22:16but I'm going to go with it.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Theodore Roosevelt.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Theodore Roosevelt, says Vicky.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's see if that's right.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people

0:22:24 > 0:22:26said Theodore Roosevelt.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Oh, bad luck. Bad luck, Vicki.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:22:33 > 0:22:36which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Sorry, Vicki, there was a Franklin D Roosevelt as well.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41OK, well, we're halfway through the round,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Maggie and Lucy looking very strong indeed,

0:22:45 > 0:22:49courtesy of Maggie's excellent answer of Gerald Ford.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Then, we go up to 49 where we find John and Terry.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54And then up to 100, I'm afraid, where Vicki and Matt are.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57So, Matt, you're going to have to find a really good,

0:22:57 > 0:23:01obscure, low-scoring, uniquely-named American president

0:23:01 > 0:23:03if you want to stay the course.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04We're going to come back down the line.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium?

0:23:11 > 0:23:16Right, we are looking for US presidents with unique names.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Matt.- Well, I was hoping that Vicki was going to get

0:23:20 > 0:23:24a low-scoring answer, there. So, erm, I'm in a bit of bother.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28But I think I can go for Abraham Lincoln.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, Abraham Lincoln, says Matt.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34There's no red line for you cos you are the high-scorers.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35Let's see if that's a correct answer.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Abraham Lincoln.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42It is right.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47APPLAUSE

0:23:47 > 0:23:4944, Matt.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Not a bad answer. Richard. - A correct answer, definitely, Matt.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57And might just have kept yourself in the round.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00The tallest president, Abraham Lincoln. Six foot four and a half.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Even without the hat? - Even without the hat.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Used to keep letters, mail and bills, in his hat.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09Did he have a little slot so he could just post them in?

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- No.- He should have.- Well, he didn't.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Ah, well. His loss. Lucy, you are through to the next round

0:24:17 > 0:24:19whatever happens. Even if you score

0:24:19 > 0:24:21100 points, you are still in the next round

0:24:21 > 0:24:24cos you won't overtake the current high score

0:24:24 > 0:24:25of Matt and Vicki.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Remember, we are looking for US presidents with unique names.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33This is a failsafe answer. It's also very boring, but it doesn't matter.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm going to go Barack Obama.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Barack Obama. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:24:38 > 0:24:39how many people said it.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42It's right.

0:24:42 > 0:24:4480!

0:24:44 > 0:24:4780. It's fine. Takes your total up to 91. You are through

0:24:47 > 0:24:49to the next round. Richard.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Very good answer. High scoring but sees you through.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54They used to call him Barry, until university,

0:24:54 > 0:24:58then he insisted on being called Barack. Genuinely, used to be Barry.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Really?- Yeah. I'm not sure anyone called him Baz or Bazza.

0:25:02 > 0:25:07Bazza O-bazza! That's what I'd have gone for.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10OK, so John, the moment of truth.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12The highest scorers are Matt and Vicki on 144.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14You're on 49.

0:25:14 > 0:25:20A score of 94 or less would see you through to the head-to-head.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'm thinking Dwight Eisenhower, but has there been a Dwight?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Or Lyndon Johnson, but has there been a Johnson?

0:25:26 > 0:25:30So, I'm going to go with Dwight Eisenhower.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Dwight Eisenhower, says John. Terry, what d'you think?

0:25:33 > 0:25:37I just hope he knows what he's on about.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40OK, Dwight Eisenhower.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42There's your red line. Below that red line,

0:25:42 > 0:25:45you are in the head-to-head. Dwight Eisenhower.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52It is right, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Wow, look at that.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58Nine points!

0:26:00 > 0:26:04The best score of the round, John. Takes your total up to 58.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Richard.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Great answer. The only president to serve in both wars. If you had said

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Lyndon Johnson, you'd have knocked yourself out.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13There's an Andrew Johnson.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16There's only one pointless answer, but a few low scorers.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20The pointless one, Chester A. Arthur. Very well done if you said that.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24Herbert Hoover would have scored 1. Harry S. Truman would have scored 1.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Other ones would have been Martin Van Buren, Warren G. Harding,

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Calvin Coolidge, Grover Cleveland,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Zachary Taylor, Rutherford B. Hayes.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35All of those scoring low. Let's look at the popular answers.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39I think we've seen all of these before. Abraham Lincoln, 44.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Ronald Reagan, 49. And Barack Obama on 80.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Very well done if you got one of those low scorers at home.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round Two,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51the losing pair with the highest score,

0:26:51 > 0:26:54it's Matt and Vicki. Dear, oh dear.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Abraham Lincoln.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58That was a good answer.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Theodore, "Teddy" Roosevelt.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- I know.- Theodore, I imagine Theodore was unique.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08Theodore is unique, yes. It's the Roosevelt that tripped you up.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10We'll get to see you next time.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11We'll look forward to that.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15But meanwhile, Matt and Vicki, thanks so much for playing.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17APPLAUSE

0:27:17 > 0:27:21For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get more exciting,

0:27:21 > 0:27:22as we enter the head-to-head.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Congratulations, Lucy and Maggie, John and Terry,

0:27:31 > 0:27:34you are only one round away from the final

0:27:34 > 0:27:37and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41APPLAUSE

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Only one pair can play for that money, and to decide

0:27:43 > 0:27:45which pair it's going to be,

0:27:45 > 0:27:48you are going head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot,

0:27:52 > 0:27:55and you are now allowed to confer.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05OK, here comes your first question.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07And it concerns...

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Actors who have played Hamlet. Richard.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17We're going to show you five photos of actors playing Hamlet.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20We showed these photos to our 100 people. Which is the most obscure?

0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Best of luck.- Thank you, Richard.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Let's reveal our five actors playing Hamlet. We've got...

0:28:43 > 0:28:46OK, there are your actors.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Lucy and Maggie, you've played best throughout the show

0:28:50 > 0:28:53so you get to go first.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Are you sure about it?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57No, but...I don't know.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Shall we go?- Yeah, go on.- We're going to take a little bit of a risk

0:29:05 > 0:29:09and go for A, who we think is Jude Law.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Jude Law. A, you are saying.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15A, Jude Law. John and Terry, you can talk us through

0:29:15 > 0:29:17the rest of the board, if you like.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Erm...- Well, we know D. That's Michael Sheen.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26B, I think is called Greg somebody.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I know the skull.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33E is that fella who plays Doctor Who.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37E is the Doctor Who fella, the Scottish...Tennant, something.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41And A was Jude Law, but we'll go for D. Michael Sheen.

0:29:41 > 0:29:46OK, D, Michael Sheen, you are saying. So we have A, Jude Law.

0:29:46 > 0:29:51D, Michael Sheen. In the order they were given, Lucy and Maggie

0:29:51 > 0:29:54have said A is Jude Law. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:29:54 > 0:29:55how many people said it.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59It is right.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Very good. 31 for Jude Law.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08APPLAUSE

0:30:08 > 0:30:12John and Terry are saying Michael Sheen. D.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Yep, it is right. 31's what it has to beat.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Will it do it?

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yes!

0:30:22 > 0:30:2314. Very well done.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26APPLAUSE

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Well played, John and Terry.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33That means, after one question, you are ahead one-nil. Richard.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37Well played. That's the most recent production of Hamlet up there.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Let's go through the board. There's Jude Law on 31.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42B, you might have been thinking of Greg Wise,

0:30:42 > 0:30:44but it's actually Mark Rylance,

0:30:44 > 0:30:46who's been starring in Jerusalem

0:30:46 > 0:30:49to such great effect, and he was a pointless answer.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Very well done if you got Mark Rylance.

0:30:52 > 0:30:57C is Damien Lewis. He would have scored you nine points.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01There's Michael Sheen, and E is that fella who plays Doctor Who,

0:31:01 > 0:31:04David Tennant. And that would have scored you 52 points.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07That's the biggest answer. Well done if you got those.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11Thanks very much, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Lucy and Maggie, you have to win to stay in the game.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Here it comes. It concerns...

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Gary Lineker, Richard. - From Hamlet to Gary Lineker.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27Yeah, we're going to show you five clues to facts about Gary Lineker.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Which is the most obscure fact? Very best of luck.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Gary Lineker.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Here they are. We have got...

0:31:55 > 0:31:57I'll read those all one final time.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17There are five facts about Gary Lineker.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22John and Terry, if you pick the most obscure of those facts,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25the one that the fewest of our 100 people will have known,

0:32:25 > 0:32:26you then can hope

0:32:26 > 0:32:29that will see you through to the final.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33THEY CONFER

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Yeah, we'll go for the Spanish club that he played for,

0:32:39 > 0:32:42and we'll go for Barcelona.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Barcelona, say John and Terry,

0:32:44 > 0:32:48as the Spanish club for which he played. Now then, Lucy and Maggie.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Oh, dear.- We'll have to take a guess here.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58We're thinking of guessing the animated series.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02We said sport was our worst nightmare, and this is kind of...

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Noddy, Bob the Builder,

0:33:04 > 0:33:08Thomas the Tank Engine...erm...

0:33:08 > 0:33:10I'm going to go Noddy. I don't see any other...

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's go Noddy. We'll say Noddy.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16You're going to say the animated series for children,

0:33:16 > 0:33:18for which he voiced the title character,

0:33:18 > 0:33:20you're going to nominate Noddy.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24We have Barcelona, we have Noddy. Lucy and Maggie, you have to win

0:33:24 > 0:33:26to stay in the game.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29It's all riding on Noddy.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30John and Terry,

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Barcelona you've said for the Spanish club.

0:33:33 > 0:33:38Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Barcelona?

0:33:38 > 0:33:40It's right.

0:33:42 > 0:33:4334.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46APPLAUSE

0:33:47 > 0:33:4934 for Barcelona.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Lucy and Maggie, you have said Noddy.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57This is a real shot in the dark. Let's see if that's right,

0:33:57 > 0:34:00and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Yeah. I think we feared that was going to be the outcome.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Noddy is incorrect, which means, after only two questions,

0:34:10 > 0:34:14John and Terry are straight through to the final, two-nil. Richard.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Well played, gents. Unlucky, Lucy and Maggie.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20The non-sports answers are the ones you wanted to go for.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Let's start at the top. The number of bookings during his career.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26An amazing none. That would have scored you 40 points.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30A very well-known fact. The year he won the World Cup Golden Boot,

0:34:30 > 0:34:34- what would you have gone for, gents?- 1990.- '86 or '90.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37'86 is the right answer, there. That would have scored eight points.

0:34:37 > 0:34:43The model he married in 2009 is Danielle Bux, for three points.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47And the children's series for which he voiced the title character,

0:34:47 > 0:34:51only would have scored you one point, it's quite an obscure answer,

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Underground Ernie. Underground Ernie, for one point.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Has anyone heard of Underground Ernie?

0:34:57 > 0:34:59CROWD: No.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01To be fair, one person has.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,

0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'm afraid it's Lucy and Maggie.

0:35:06 > 0:35:14Oh, dear oh dear. The Hamlet actors, I didn't recognise Jude Law at all!

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- We tried.- I'm afraid we say goodbye to you,

0:35:18 > 0:35:21but you have played phenomenally well throughout the show.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24Unlucky to be beaten in the head-to-head,

0:35:24 > 0:35:29but we will see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30Lucy and Maggie.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32APPLAUSE

0:35:32 > 0:35:37But for John and Terry, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Well, congratulations, John and Terry.

0:35:43 > 0:35:47You've fought off the competition and won our Pointless trophy.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:56 > 0:35:59and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02APPLAUSE

0:36:02 > 0:36:07It's been quite a curve for you, because you very nearly,

0:36:07 > 0:36:11you could have gone out in Round One, you scored 100 in Round One.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14- We've been very lucky.- But a clean sweep in the head-to-head.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Fantastic.- It's just fallen right. Just at the right time.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21I think it has. Absolutely. Well, to win that money,

0:36:21 > 0:36:25find a pointless answer. We haven't had any pointless answers today.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29Find one now and you will go home with that £1,000 jackpot.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33First, you've got to choose a category from these five options.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34We have...

0:36:42 > 0:36:46- What do you think? Films.- I think you're quite strong on films.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49We'll have Films and Remakes.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52Films and Remakes, say John and Terry.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Let's find out what your question is.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:36:57 > 0:37:01as many Actors in The Ladykillers as they could. Richard.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05We're looking for any actor or actress who appeared

0:37:05 > 0:37:09in the 1955 Ealing comedy The Ladykillers, or the 2004 remake.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13Uncredited actors won't be allowed. Anyone credited in those films,

0:37:13 > 0:37:17according to the Internet Movie Database. Very best of luck.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:20 > 0:37:24All you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Ready.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Did you see the remake? - Not seen the remake.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38Tom Hanks, I think it was Tom Hanks. I can't remember who was in it.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41- The first one...- That was the old, Peter Sellers and all that?

0:37:41 > 0:37:46Yeah, Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, and I think Sid James was in it.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- You know, from Carry On. - I'm not sure.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Remember the black and white film, but I can't...

0:37:52 > 0:37:54..is that the one with the old woman?

0:37:54 > 0:37:57- It's like an Ealing comedy. - Margaret Rutherford?

0:37:57 > 0:38:01And she had the boarding house, and they came round to rob a bank.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04Erm...

0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Alec Guinness, he was definitely in it.- Peter Sellers.

0:38:08 > 0:38:13I don't know anyone from the remake at all, apart from Tom Hanks.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19- I thought Sid James was in it. - Could well be.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Shall we go with that? - Yeah, you could do.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Ten seconds left. - I'm none the wiser.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28Alec Guinness. Who did you say?

0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Peter Sellers. - Peter Sellers, Sid James...

0:38:33 > 0:38:35OK, there is your minute up.

0:38:35 > 0:38:40We are looking for actors in either the original Ladykillers,

0:38:40 > 0:38:46the Ealing comedy, or the remake in 2004.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48I now need your three answers.

0:38:48 > 0:38:54So, what did we say? Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Sid James.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Sid James.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Sid James.- Shall we put him third, then?

0:39:02 > 0:39:04And your least likely...?

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Alec Guinness, I'd have thought. - Alec Guinness, OK.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11Let's put those up on the board in that order, and there they are.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Sid James.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18We were looking for actors in The Ladykillers,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20either the original or the 2004 remake.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Alec Guinness you said was your least confident answer.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot,

0:39:27 > 0:39:30so let's see. Is Alec Guinness correct, and if it is,

0:39:30 > 0:39:33how many people said it? Alec Guinness. This for £1,000.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36It's right.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39OK, a correct answer.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Now, it just has to go down to zero, and if it does,

0:39:42 > 0:39:44you'll be leaving with £1,000.

0:39:44 > 0:39:4531.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48APPLAUSE

0:39:48 > 0:39:5031, so not a pointless answer.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57But you knew that was, he's the most famous person in it.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01One of his most famous films. If you were to win that jackpot,

0:40:01 > 0:40:03what would you do with it, Terry?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06I'd probably take the wife and kids off for a short break.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Very good. John, how about you?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Yeah, me too. We enjoy camping in Cornwall,

0:40:10 > 0:40:14- so this summer, we'll go away somewhere.- Very nice.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18OK, well, let's hope nobody said your next answer. Peter Sellers.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20This has to be correct

0:40:20 > 0:40:23and it has to be pointless for you to win that £1,000. Let's see.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27Is Peter Sellers correct, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:40:29 > 0:40:33OK, it's also right. Alec Guinness went down to 31.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Peter Sellers, let's see how far down he can take you.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39If he goes all the way down, you leave with £1,000.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Still going down, 12!

0:40:41 > 0:40:44APPLAUSE

0:40:45 > 0:40:4812. Also not a pointless answer.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55It's going in the right direction. You're not sure? Sid James?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57I don't know whether he was in it or not.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59We're looking for actors in the Ladykillers.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Your third and final answer is Sid James.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05You said you thought this was your best shot at a pointless answer.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.

0:41:08 > 0:41:12If it's both, you'll be leaving here with £1,000. Let's see. Sid James.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16Is it right, and if so, how many people said Sid James?

0:41:17 > 0:41:21Ohhh, bad luck.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- APPLAUSE - Sure he was in it!

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Bad luck. You didn't manage to find that pointless answer,

0:41:28 > 0:41:32so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000, which will roll over.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36It's been lovely having you and you do take home the Pointless trophy.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- So, Richard.- A valiant attempt, gents. You did Plymouth proud.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Sid James was in The Lavender Hill Mob.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Also in the Titfield Thunderbolt, but Lavender Hill Mob,

0:41:50 > 0:41:54a similar film to The Ladykillers. Let's look at the pointless answers,

0:41:54 > 0:41:57almost all of whom are from the 2004 film.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Aldis Hodge sounds like a '50s British actor,

0:41:59 > 0:42:02but he's an American actor in the 2004 one.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05George Wallace plays the sheriff in the 2004 one,
