0:00:24 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless

0:00:28 > 0:00:32the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you possibly can.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42So, we welcome back Graham and Sue as our first pair this afternoon,

0:00:42 > 0:00:43you were on the show last time.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final - this is your second.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52- Remind us how you know each other. - We're partners and we met on a blind date, on a boat.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- And what happened last time, Sue? - We failed miserably.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59As it turns out, you knew very little about US landmarks.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01That's fair to say, nothing at all.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Nothing at all.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Sue, what would you like to see come up?

0:01:05 > 0:01:11Nature and anything to do with animals, gardening. Musicals.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Musicals.- '40s films. - '40s films?- Yeah.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Graham, anything you don't want to see come up?

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Something in particular? - Modern music.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Modern music.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22I'm a lad of the '70s, really.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25'70s music, rock music was my scene,

0:01:25 > 0:01:27anything after that, I've got no idea.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Very good. Sue, do you have any interesting hobbies?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Collecting animals. I would like to collect more.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I'd like to look after sick and injured animals.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Sick and injured animals. - And re-home.- Very good, indeed.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, it's great to have you back, Graham and Sue, very best of luck.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Next we welcome Jeanie and Jean.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- How do you two know each other? - We're friends.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51And where are you from, Jean?

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Thames Ditt... Oh, sorry! - Thames Ditton.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56What would be good for you this afternoon?

0:01:56 > 0:02:02Things to do with France, French life, the language...

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Anything to do with France.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08- OK, so France, and various little subsections within France.- Yes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Erm, Jeannie, how about you?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Geography, particularly American.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Food, drink, nature.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21OK. What do you do, Jeannie?

0:02:21 > 0:02:27Well, I'm retired, really, but I run a small sole trader business

0:02:27 > 0:02:30making and selling jewellery as a hobby job.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Very good. And Jean, what do you do?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Well, I'm also retired

0:02:34 > 0:02:37and the main thing I do which takes up most of my time,

0:02:37 > 0:02:42I socialise puppies for Hearing Dogs For Deaf People, which is a charity.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Oh, very good indeed. - APPLAUSE

0:02:46 > 0:02:48How long have you done that for?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Oh, it must be five or six years now, I'm on my 11th puppy.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54It must be so hard saying goodbye.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's terrible.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Do you get to the know the next puppy before the previous one's gone?

0:02:59 > 0:03:03No, no, because I go away to France for ten weeks in the summer,

0:03:03 > 0:03:05come back and get a new puppy.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08So France is where you go to forget about the last puppy.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Get over the puppy love. Oh...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13What did you do before you retired, Jean?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I was a teacher of French in a secondary school.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21- I see, so France is a strong vein running through, I see.- Yeah.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25So anything on France, we should really be expecting some lovely low scores from you.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27More or less.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Lovely to have you on the show, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34And next, we welcome Damian and Chris. How do you two know each other?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36We're father and son.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Damian, I think you're the smartest person we've yet had on the show.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Talk me through that waistcoat there.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43It was a Christmas present.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47My wife bought me the waistcoat, my daughter bought me the bow tie.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'm guessing they were in cahoots.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Well, I actually showed them what I wanted.- Oh, I see, very good.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59Chris, I notice you're not wearing a penguin-themed waistcoat and bow tie.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Did your dad encourage you to

0:04:01 > 0:04:04and you just said, "I'm sorry, no, I'm not going to."

0:04:04 > 0:04:05The encouragement wasn't there

0:04:05 > 0:04:08but if it had, I think I would have ignored it to be honest.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- And where have you come from, Chris? - From Manchester.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13What do you do, Damian?

0:04:13 > 0:04:19I work in the out-patients department at Wythenshawe hospital as a booking clerk.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Right you are. How about you, Chris? - I've actually got two jobs -

0:04:22 > 0:04:26during the week, in retail and weekends, at Manchester United on the turnstiles.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Very good, indeed. Does that mean you get to see the matches? - No, I'm behind the scenes.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Do you follow Manchester United? - I don't, I'm a Bradford fan. - LAUGHTER

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh... Erm, so, football would be good for you, then?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Football would be.- Damian, what's going to be good for you?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Yeah, sport, musicals, and novelty records.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Novelty records... novelty waistcoats.- Yes.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Is it waistcoats in particular or is it penguins?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's penguins. I collect penguins.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00How many elements of "penguana" do you have?

0:05:00 > 0:05:06I have about 22 different penguins in crystal and wood

0:05:06 > 0:05:07and I've also got a tattoo.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I'm going to take your word for the tattoo. - LAUGHTER

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Anyway, listen, it's lovely having you on the show, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19And welcome back to Lisa and Karen. You were also on the show last time.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Remind us how you know each other. - We're sisters.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25And what happened last time?

0:05:25 > 0:05:30We went out in the least embarassing way in the first round.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32It was a very strong, very strong first round.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Words ending C-E-N-T.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37Yes, which will haunt me now forever.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40What's going to see you further than the first round, this time round.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43I hope films or TV.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Very good.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Anything you'd hate to see come up, Lisa?

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Science would be a big no-no for me.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Really? So that's just one big blind spot, science.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Karen, how about you?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Politics.- Politics.- Ugh, yes.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, very best of luck to the pair of you, lovely to have you back on the show.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04We'll find out more about all of you.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Only one person left to introduce,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08the facts in his brain are like angry dogs in a kennel.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's just get them out and take them round the park.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya. Hello.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Afternoon.- Good afternoon, Richard. - Are you well? You look well.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yes...thank you, I feel well.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Good news. The big news on Pointless at the moment

0:06:28 > 0:06:30is the curse of the returning pairs.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Eight shows in a row where the winners have been newcomers.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36We haven't had a returning pair in the final for eight shows.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Two returning pairs today - Graham and Sue and Lisa and Karen.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Can they break that duck, I wonder?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44I wasn't quite listening at the beginning,

0:06:44 > 0:06:49but everyone said they wanted the first round to be about cricket, yeah(?)

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Good, just checking, just checking, because it is.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58All our question on Pointless have been put to 100 people,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04To stay in the game and be in with a chance at our jackpot,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13That's an answer that none of our 100 people knew,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Glen and Jamie won the jackpot last time

0:07:18 > 0:07:21so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23There it is.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37In this first round, each of you must give me one answer

0:07:37 > 0:07:39and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47If you give me an incorrect answer, you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51So try and avoid those if you can. OK, our first category this afternoon is...

0:07:54 > 0:07:59Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many teams that have

0:08:10 > 0:08:15participated in the Cricket World Cup as they could. Richard.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Any team that's participated in the Cricket World Cup

0:08:18 > 0:08:20from the first one ever in 1975

0:08:20 > 0:08:23right through to and including the 2011 tournament.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Very best of luck.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30OK, thanks very much, Richard. Now, Graham and Sue, you all drew lots before the show

0:08:30 > 0:08:32and this afternoon, you get to go first.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Graham, cricket, good for you?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah, not too bad, but I don't follow the Cricket World Cup.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40It's the shortened version - I like the Test matches.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm going to go for hopefully one of the smaller teams

0:08:44 > 0:08:49and I'm pretty sure that Ireland have been in the Cricket World Cup.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50OK, Ireland.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Let's see if that's right

0:08:52 > 0:08:55and if it is how many people knew that answer, Ireland.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's right.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Very well done, 19.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Thank you.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Not bad at all, 19, Richard. - Ireland, good answer.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13They were actually in the quarterfinals in 2007

0:09:13 > 0:09:16and had a pretty good tournament in 2011 as well.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19One particularly famous result.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Thank you very much, Richard.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Jean, the Cricket World Cup.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27What's the most obscure participating nation you can think of?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm not going to go for a really obscure one.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I think New Zealand.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36New Zealand you are saying, let's see if that's right

0:09:36 > 0:09:38and if it is, how many people said it?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42It is right.

0:09:43 > 0:09:4454.

0:09:44 > 0:09:4854 for New Zealand.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Quite high score.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Damian, a nice obscure participating nation in the Cricket World Cup,

0:09:54 > 0:09:55what'd you think?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Well, I have two in mind and they're both a bit risky.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02But I will go with Holland.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Holland.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11It is right.

0:10:16 > 0:10:1710 for Holland!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20APPLAUSE

0:10:20 > 0:10:21A great answer, Damian.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25More specifically, the Netherlands but we'll accept Holland.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29They've been in it four times, a very proud cricketing nation, the Dutch.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Some players have played in county cricket over here.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Lisa... - Great subject for me(!)

0:10:37 > 0:10:39But I can remember my mum went to this country

0:10:39 > 0:10:41and bought my dad a T-shirt,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43so I'm pretty sure that it's right,

0:10:43 > 0:10:46but I don't know how well it'll be up there,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48so I'm going to go with Sri Lanka.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Sri Lanka, you are saying.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Let's see if Sri Lanka is right

0:10:52 > 0:10:55and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59It's right.

0:11:03 > 0:11:0629! Very well done, Lisa.

0:11:07 > 0:11:0929 for Sri Lanka.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Well-played, Lisa.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14They actually won it in 1996 and have been finalists the last two times as well.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Damian, and Chris looking very strong indeed,

0:11:21 > 0:11:22lovely low score of 10 from them.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Then we come to 19, where we find Graham and Sue.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Up to 29, where we find Lisa and Karen

0:11:28 > 0:11:32and then up to 54, where Jean and Jeannie are sitting.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35So, Jeannie, we're going to need a lovely low score

0:11:35 > 0:11:38from you in the next pass if you're to stay in the game.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40We're going to come back down the line,

0:11:40 > 0:11:44can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Remember, we are looking for teams

0:11:45 > 0:11:49that have participated in the Cricket World Cup, Karen.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53The high-scorers on 54 are Jean and Jeannie, you are on 29.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58A score of 24 or less will see you comfortably into the next round.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Bangladesh?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Bangladesh, says Karen.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05If you get below that line, you're through.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Let's see if Bangladesh is right and if it is, how many people said it.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13It is right.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Very well done, down it goes to 12!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21APPLAUSE

0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's a great answer, Karen, takes your total up to 41.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27That's a terrific answer, Karen, very well played.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Through to Round Two - feels much better, doesn't it?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Yes. Thank goodness for my husband.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Never got out of the group stages, Bangladesh,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37never reached the knock-outs. So it's a very good answer.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Very good indeed.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Chris, you are on 10.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44The highest scorers are still Jean and Jeannie on 54,

0:12:44 > 0:12:46that means a score of 43 or less

0:12:46 > 0:12:48will see you through to the next round.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52I'm going to try to go for Scotland.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Scotland.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56There it is, there's your red line.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Below that, comfortably through to the next round. Good luck.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Chris said Scotland, is it right? How many people said it?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04It is right.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09And you are through to the next round, Chris and Damian.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Look at that, Scotland, 11 points.

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

0:13:13 > 0:13:16The two lowest scores so far - Chris and Damian's

0:13:16 > 0:13:19and that totals 21. Richard.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well played Chris, 1999 and 2007,

0:13:21 > 0:13:24they qualified for both of those World Cups.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27So we are looking for participating nations in the Cricket World Cup.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Jeannie, we're going to need something ingenious from you.

0:13:31 > 0:13:37You're the highest scorers on 54, with just Sue to go after you.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39So a very, very low score

0:13:39 > 0:13:43and a prayer that Sue knows nothing about international cricket.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I don't really know but I'll say Pakistan.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Pakistan, you are saying.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53No red line for you, Jeannie, because you are the highest scorers,

0:13:53 > 0:13:55we just hope it goes down as far as it can.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00Is it right, Pakistan? If it is, how many people said it?

0:14:00 > 0:14:01It is right.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Oh...that's a very high score, 63.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Takes your total up to 117. Richard.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12They won the 1992 World Cup.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Their captain Imran Khan told them to play like cornered tigers.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21Fortunately, they ignored him and played like cricketers, but erm...

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Isn't that a line from the Love Cats by The Cure?

0:14:24 > 0:14:27"Imran Khan told his players to play like cornered tigers."?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30No, I'm sure it says, "We played like cornered tigers."

0:14:30 > 0:14:34It's, "We move like caged tigers," isn't it? Love Cats?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37We move like caged tigers, not play like cornered tigers.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38LAUGHTER

0:14:38 > 0:14:42As we were. OK, now then, Sue.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46You're on 19, the highest scorers are Jean and Jeannie on a 117.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51A score of 97 or less will see you comfortably through to the next round.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Cricket is not my strong subject.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58A score of 97 or less will see you through to the next round.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59It's essentially Geography.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03India.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- You answered there like a cornered tiger, can I just say that? - LAUGHTER

0:15:08 > 0:15:10There's your red line.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13India, says Sue.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Is it good enough to see Sue and Graham into the next round?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Yes, it is! Very well done, Graham and Sue.

0:15:24 > 0:15:2675, it scores. Takes your total up to 94.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- You are through to the next round. - Well played, Sue.

0:15:29 > 0:15:34I didn't think we were going to get eight correct answers in that round, I must admit, very impressed.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36They won in 2011, first time since 1983.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Only one pointless answer, four very low scoring answers.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's take a look at the pointless one and a couple of the low scorers.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46United Arab Emirates played once in 1996.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49East Africa played in the very first World Cup in '75,

0:15:49 > 0:15:50that would've scored 1.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Namibia would've scored you 1. Very well done if you got those.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Let's take a look at the most popular answers, ones most of our respondents said.

0:15:57 > 0:16:02We just heard from Sue, India. That saw you safely through, 75 points.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Australia, 84.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07And the biggest answer of all - England, with 97.

0:16:07 > 0:16:1097 points, absolutely thrashing Australia there.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Pretty impressive.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Thank you, Richard. So at the end of the first round,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18the losing pair with the highest score - it's Jean and Jeannie.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Laid low by the Cricket World Cup.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh, dear, I'm sorry.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25A terrible category for you, wasn't it?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27You didn't do badly, no incorrect answers,

0:16:27 > 0:16:30they were very safe, good.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Middle of the bat answers, I would say,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36but I'm afraid they just scored you a little bit too highly.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39We have to say goodbye but we'll see you again next time.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I promise there will be no cricket - I say that, like I know!

0:16:42 > 0:16:45But I'm pretty sure there'll be no cricketing questions

0:16:45 > 0:16:48and let's hope we'll see you go all the way through to the final,

0:16:48 > 0:16:51but for now, Jean and Jeannie,

0:16:51 > 0:16:54thank you so much for playing, great contestants.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, now there's only going to be room for two pairs

0:17:04 > 0:17:07in the head-to-head, so one of the teams is going to leave us

0:17:07 > 0:17:08at the end of this round.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12OK, our category for Round two is...

0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Parliament. - HE LAUGHS

0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's just got better, hasn't it?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22OK, can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24who's going to go second.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33OK, let's find out what our question is.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34It concerns...

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Richard.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Yes, on each pass we're going to give you six clues to famous people

0:17:42 > 0:17:44who are members of the UK House of Lords.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points

0:17:48 > 0:17:50but give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53We need their first name and surname, not their title.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57These people were all in the House of Lords as of the beginning of 2012

0:17:57 > 0:17:59according to the UK parliamentary website.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- OK, everybody in the House of Lords is what you're saying, essentially. - Yeah, pretty much.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09So we are looking for famous members of the House of Lords and we have got...

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I will read those all one more time.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46There we are. As always on Pointless, you are going to try answer the one

0:18:46 > 0:18:49that you think the fewest of our 100 people knew. Graham.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yes...

0:18:52 > 0:18:54There's only two I know

0:18:54 > 0:19:00so I'm going to say former Chancellor - Nigel Lawson.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03OK, Nigel Lawson says Graham. Let's see if that's right

0:19:03 > 0:19:07and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Nigel Lawson.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12It's right.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- 41. - APPLAUSE

0:19:18 > 0:19:2041, Richard.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Yeah, his full title is Baron Lawson of Blaby,

0:19:22 > 0:19:25of Newnham in the county of Northamptonshire.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Tell you what, you wouldn't want that on the back of your shirt

0:19:29 > 0:19:31in the House of Lords football team, would you?

0:19:31 > 0:19:35He could've had number 11 on the back, that would have been nice. Former Chancellor.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Oh! I see what you mean! Very clever.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- You are so quick. - I nearly got a round of applause, did you hear?- You did.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45APPLAUSE Thank you, thank you.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Very good, very good.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Very good, thank you, Richard.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Now then, Chris.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Remember we're looking for members of the House of Lords

0:19:54 > 0:19:56described by these clues.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02I'm going to go for the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Rowan Williams, says Chris, for the current Archbishop of Canterbury.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Let's see if that's right and if it is,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10how many people knew that answer.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13It is right.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Ooh, down it goes!

0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Wow, 7! - APPLAUSE

0:20:24 > 0:20:287 - turns out that's an excellent answer. Only seven people knew that.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I know, amazing how few people know his name.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34He's one of the 26 Lords Spiritual, speaks numerous languages,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37written a book on Dostoevsky, always travels second-class.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Yes?- Avid viewer of Pointless!

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- LAUGHTER - Is he really?- The Archbishop?

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Loves it.- Loves it.- Loves it.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47You know on the last show, when we had...

0:20:47 > 0:20:49the final round was the hits of Steps?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52He was Tweeting. I saw him Tweet along.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Really?- Yeah, he said they should, "Totes go for Heartbeat," he said.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58LAUGHTER

0:20:58 > 0:20:59- Wow.- Yeah.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02- That's brilliant.- Big fan.- Oh, yeah!

0:21:02 > 0:21:03Er, very good, thank you, Richard.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06We're looking for members of the House of Lords

0:21:06 > 0:21:08described by these clues.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Lisa, you're last to have the board.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Er, there's only one I don't know, I'm fairly sure on the other ones.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17The man who hires The Apprentice is Lord, sorry, Alan Sugar,

0:21:17 > 0:21:19the star of Brighton Rock and Jurassic Park

0:21:19 > 0:21:21is Richard Attenborough.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm hoping...

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I have no idea who the presenter of Radio 4's In Our Time is, sorry.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31Um, first female speaker, I'm hoping, is Betty Boothroyd.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Betty Boothroyd, says Lisa. Sounds good to me.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40It's right!

0:21:45 > 0:21:48- 16. Very well done. - APPLAUSE

0:21:48 > 0:21:5216 for Betty Boothroyd. Richard?

0:21:52 > 0:21:53Well played, Lisa.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Raised to the peerage in 2001.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Twice as many people knew her as Rowan Williams, which is interesting.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01You were right about the other answers as well.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03The man who hires The Apprentice is Alan Sugar

0:22:03 > 0:22:06but that would have scored you 70, that's a big score.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Ten times the Archbishop of Canterbury.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11A man who was essentially puts a fax on anything he invents.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13The star of Brighton Rock and Jurassic Park,

0:22:13 > 0:22:16quite right, Richard Attenborough. Would've scored 20.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19The best answer is the presenter of Radio 4's In Our Time.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Melvyn Bragg.- Absolutely right.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24That would've scored you two points, so very well done if you got that.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Thank you very much.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Chris and Damian looking very strong on 7,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34then we go up to 16, where we find Lisa and Karen,

0:22:34 > 0:22:38and then up to 41, where we find Graham and Sue.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42So, Sue, you've got to pick a nice low-scoring answer

0:22:42 > 0:22:45and hope no-one else gets it by the time we come to you on the next pass.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board, here they come.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56We've got...

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I will read those all one more time.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42We are looking for the famous members of the House of Lords described behind me.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45You're trying to find the one that the fewest people could answer.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Karen, you did say, particularly, you didn't want politics.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- I know, I wish I'd gone first now! - Well, I'm sorry.- Oh!

0:23:53 > 0:23:56You know some of those answers?

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Think I'm going to go for, "Married Princess Margaret".

0:24:00 > 0:24:07- I think, I hope it's Mark Phillips? - Mark Phillips, you are saying.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10You're on 16, the highest scorers are Sue and Graham on 41.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12You want to be scoring 24 or less.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14That's what 24 looks like, that red line,

0:24:14 > 0:24:18if you get below that red line you are through to the next round.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Mark Phillips - let's see if it's right and, if it is,

0:24:20 > 0:24:22how many people said it.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Bad luck, Karen. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:24:28 > 0:24:30which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34That takes your total up to 116. Richard?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Sorry, Mark Phillips married Princess Anne, rather than Princess Margaret.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40That would've been a mix-up on the wedding day.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Wouldn't it, though?- Ooh!- Ooh! - LAUGHTER

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Get out of that!- Yeah.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50Now then, Damian, the high scorers, on 116, are Karen and Lisa,

0:24:50 > 0:24:51you are on 7.

0:24:51 > 0:24:56Whatever you score, you are through to the next round.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think I'll play it safe and go for composer of Cats.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Andrew Lloyd Webber. - Andrew Lloyd Webber, you are saying.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06There's no red line because you are through whatever happens.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12It is right.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16- 50. - APPLAUSE

0:25:18 > 0:25:2250 for Andrew Lloyd Webber takes your total up to 57. Richard?

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Yeah, safe and sound.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28Do you know, in 1991 he had six musicals running in the West End at the same time?!

0:25:28 > 0:25:30That's just on our West End.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Presumably, around the world he must've had...

0:25:32 > 0:25:37And one thing I didn't know, he and Tim Rice once wrote two songs for Elvis.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38- Really?!- Yeah.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43- He's got a song on Elvis's album Moody Blues.- Wow, that's cool.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- It's quite cool, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Now then, Sue. Now then, Sue.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51That was a bit of a lifeline you were thrown by Karen.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Oh!

0:25:53 > 0:25:55How long is it going to last?

0:25:55 > 0:25:57You're on 41, Karen and Lisa are on 116.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01If you can score 74 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Talk us through the board, you're the last person.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08There are only, really, two I feel happy about.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Former deputy PM, John Prescott...

0:26:12 > 0:26:16but I think the man who married Princess Margaret in 1960

0:26:16 > 0:26:18was Antony Armstrong-Jones.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21OK, very good. There's your red line,

0:26:21 > 0:26:25you get below that, you are through to the next round.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Very best of luck.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Antony Armstrong-Jones, is that right and, if it is,

0:26:28 > 0:26:30how many people knew that answer?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34It is right.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36And you are through to the next round, very well done, Sue.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- There we are! 9 points, brilliant. - APPLAUSE

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Takes your total up to a lovely round 50.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Good answer, Sue. More usually addressed as Lord Snowdon, of course.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53- I bet he's related to you somewhere, I bet?- Yeah, yeah.- Is he?

0:26:53 > 0:26:54- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - TITTERING

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Is he, though?

0:26:56 > 0:27:01- I've no idea! Almost certainly. - He totally is, isn't he?- Yeah.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04You're a little bit posher than him, though! LAUGHTER

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Let's fill in the rest of the board, shall we?

0:27:07 > 0:27:10The former Deputy PM known as Two Jags, that's John Prescott.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Scored an unbelievably small 35.

0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Do you know the 11-time Paralympic gold medallist?- I don't, I'm afraid.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Yeah, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson - would have scored 11 points, aptly.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Producer of Chariots Of Fire? - David Puttnam.

0:27:22 > 0:27:27It is, that would've scored 5. The bottom answer is a pointless one.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29The Transport Secretary. Do you know that one?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Who is it?- It's Lord Adonis.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Oh, of course it is! Yes, yes, yes, yes.- Andrew Adonis.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Pointless answer, very well done if you got that one.- Yeah.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39What does it say on the back of his shirt?

0:27:39 > 0:27:43It says "Adonis" and underneath, in brackets, "(Deal with it)". LAUGHTER

0:27:45 > 0:27:46Thanks, Richard!

0:27:46 > 0:27:50At the end of Round Two, the pair with the highest score is Lisa and Karen.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Gutted.- Never mind.- Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Um, yes, I'm afraid that Mark Phillips did for you!

0:27:57 > 0:28:01- And I knew Tanni Grey-Thompson! I talked myself back out of it.- No!

0:28:01 > 0:28:05And you thought Mark Phillips was a safe answer. Safe pair of hands...

0:28:05 > 0:28:09- It's what Princess Anne thought as well! - LAUGHTER

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Never mind. We had a great time. - Yes, thank you.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Karen and Lisa, brilliant contestants,

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- thank you so much for playing. - APPLAUSE

0:28:17 > 0:28:20For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting

0:28:20 > 0:28:23as we enter the head-to-head.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30Congratulations, Damian and Chris, Graham and Sue,

0:28:30 > 0:28:32one round away from the final

0:28:32 > 0:28:35and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at:

0:28:36 > 0:28:39APPLAUSE

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Now, only one pair can play for that money.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44To decide which pair it will be,

0:28:44 > 0:28:49you are now going to go head-to-head with the best of three questions.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55You are now, of course, allowed to confer.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Let's play head-to-head.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00APPLAUSE

0:29:03 > 0:29:06OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:29:10 > 0:29:12Mercury Prize Winners, Richard?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15We're going to show you five pictures of artists

0:29:15 > 0:29:18who have won the Mercury Music Prize for Album of the Year.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20We've also shown these pictures to 100 people -

0:29:20 > 0:29:22which of these artists is the most obscure?

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Thanks, Richard. So, let's reveal our five Mercury Prize winners

0:29:26 > 0:29:28and here they are...

0:29:43 > 0:29:47There they are, our Mercury Music Prize winners.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52Now then, Damian and Chris, you've played best throughout the show

0:29:52 > 0:29:54so you get to go first.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Well, I'm leaving this one with Chris because I only know E.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59- So, it's over to you! - THEY CHUCKLE

0:30:01 > 0:30:03I, I recognise them all

0:30:03 > 0:30:07but it's saying, coming up with the obviously lowest-scoring answer.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13- I'm going to go for A as PJ Harvey. - PJ Harvey for A.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19Graham and Sue, you can now talk us through the board, if you like?

0:30:19 > 0:30:24I wish we could, Alexander, we don't know any of those at all! Um...

0:30:24 > 0:30:28- So...who who are we going to go for?- The...

0:30:28 > 0:30:32B looks like, I can't remember properly what it is,

0:30:32 > 0:30:34I don't even know if it is right.

0:30:34 > 0:30:35Erm...

0:30:35 > 0:30:38You go for, you go for one... I really don't know.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- I don't know about the girl either.- No.

0:30:41 > 0:30:46- We We're going to go E, Noah And The Whale.- E, Noah And The Whale.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51So, we have Damian and Chris saying that A is PJ Harvey.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said that.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57It's right!

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Very good indeed!

0:31:05 > 0:31:06APPLAUSE

0:31:06 > 0:31:11Very well done, Chris! 8! 8 for PJ Harvey.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Graham and Sue are saying E is Noah And The Whale.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Is it right? Have you seen Noah And The Whale?- No.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19You've heard them?

0:31:19 > 0:31:20No.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- LAUGHTER - You've heard of them?- Yes!

0:31:23 > 0:31:28Could be good enough! Who knows? Noah And The Whale, is that E?

0:31:28 > 0:31:33Are Graham and Sue right and, if so, how many people said it? Noah And The Whale.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Bad luck! Great answer, though!

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- THEY CHUCKLE - Just a wrong answer.

0:31:42 > 0:31:47Which means, after one question, Damian and Chris are up, one-nil.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Well done, Chris. - Well played, Chris, terrific answer.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53The only person, up to 2011, to have won it twice.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Won in 2011 for Let England Shake, which is a terrific album.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59There is one answer that would have beaten her.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02I might see if Alexander can go through the board here.

0:32:02 > 0:32:03Do you fancy that? B?

0:32:04 > 0:32:07- That's the Arctic Monkeys. - It is the Arctic Monkeys.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10That would've scored you 12 points.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- C is the best answer on the board. - I know that one, Franz Ferdinand.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17It is Franz Ferdinand, it would've scored you 3. D?

0:32:17 > 0:32:21- I don't know that. - It's Ms Dynamite, Miss Dynamyte-e-e.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23That would've scored you 19 points.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26- And E, it's not Noah And The Whale. - It's Pulp.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29It is. Jarvis Cocker in the middle. That would've scored 31 points.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Very well done if you got all five of those.- Thanks very much.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34OK, here comes your second question.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37Graham and Sue, we need you winning this to stay in the game.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39Here it comes, it concerns...

0:32:43 > 0:32:47- Richard?- We're going to show you a list of five names of playwrights on this board

0:32:47 > 0:32:50but only including the first and last letters of each of their names.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Can you tell us who the playwright is?

0:32:53 > 0:32:56You've got their date of birth up there with it as well.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57OK, thanks very much.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Let's reveal our five playwrights and here we have...

0:33:27 > 0:33:31There they are. I'll read them one more time without the dates.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47So, there they are. Now then, Graham and Sue, you go first this time.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48Right.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52- How are we doing? - It's up to you, I don't...

0:33:52 > 0:33:53I'll go with whatever you decide.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Hm, we're going with, erm, Alan Bennett, the middle one,

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Alan Bennett.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02OK, Alan Bennett. 1934. OK.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03Damian and Chris?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06We think we know them all, except the C-L one.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Fill in the board for us, if you like?

0:34:10 > 0:34:14So, I think it's Arthur Miller, Oscar Wilde and William Shakespeare.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22We'll go Arthur Miller, I think.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25OK, you are going to say Arthur Miller.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29So, we have Alan Bennett and we have Arthur Miller.

0:34:29 > 0:34:30What do you think, Graham?

0:34:30 > 0:34:33I think we're getting the train home!

0:34:33 > 0:34:34LAUGHTER

0:34:34 > 0:34:36You have gone for Alan Bennett.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Alan Bennett.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44It's right.

0:34:49 > 0:34:5016!

0:34:50 > 0:34:52APPLAUSE

0:34:55 > 0:35:00That's not a bad score for Alan Bennett. 16.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Damian and Chris, you've gone for Arthur Miller.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04That has to be right and it has to beat 16.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08If it does both of those things, you are in the final.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Arthur Miller, is it right? How many people said it?

0:35:12 > 0:35:13It is right.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Down it goes!

0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Yep, you've done it! Very well done, 7! - APPLAUSE

0:35:26 > 0:35:29That was a great answer from Damian and Chris, which means,

0:35:29 > 0:35:33after only two questions, you are through to the final - two-nil.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Richard?- The curse of the returning pairs continues!

0:35:36 > 0:35:41Now nine shows in a row. Let's fill in the rest of the board.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44At the bottom, obviously, is William Shakespeare.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47- I say "obviously", 61 points.- Well!

0:35:48 > 0:35:5061 points.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55The second one is Oscar Wilde, that would've scored you 37.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57I suspect you might know the next one, do you know that?

0:35:57 > 0:36:01Wrote Serious Money, Top Girls? Shall I tell you?

0:36:02 > 0:36:06It's 1 point, so very well done at home if you said Caryl Churchill.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Caryl Churchill. Best answer on the board.- Thanks, Richard.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14it's Graham and Sue.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. As Richard said, "the curse",

0:36:18 > 0:36:22the curse of the returning pair continues.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Round Two last time, through to the head-to-head.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27This is progress, you've done very well

0:36:27 > 0:36:30but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye,

0:36:30 > 0:36:33but it's been wonderful having you on the show.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Thank you, really enjoyed it! - APPLAUSE

0:36:35 > 0:36:40But for Damian and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48Congratulations, Damian and Chris, you fought off all the competition

0:36:48 > 0:36:50and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:36:59 > 0:37:03and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05- There it is. - APPLAUSE

0:37:08 > 0:37:12The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16We haven't had ANY pointless answers today. You only have to find one now

0:37:16 > 0:37:18and you will go home with that money.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22You've had a pretty good run today. Lowest score in Round One,

0:37:22 > 0:37:27straight sets victory in the head-to-head, through you have come.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31- You don't seem to have been taxed very much by Pointless! - LAUGHTER

0:37:31 > 0:37:32Until now!

0:37:32 > 0:37:35- THEY LAUGH - For this round, though, you can choose a category

0:37:35 > 0:37:38and you have five possible choices. They are...

0:37:48 > 0:37:49I know what I'd go for!

0:37:49 > 0:37:52LAUGHTER

0:37:52 > 0:37:56- What do you reckon?- It's between TV and European football, isn't it?

0:37:56 > 0:37:58We think it's between TV and European football,

0:37:58 > 0:37:59but we're not sure.

0:37:59 > 0:38:04TV's too wide a thing but so is European football, so...

0:38:04 > 0:38:05What do you think?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Let's go for European football. - We'll go for European football.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12European football. Let's find out what the question is.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:38:14 > 0:38:18as many Italian football teams as they could.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Italian football teams, Richard? - Yeah, we're simply looking for

0:38:21 > 0:38:25any of the teams who played in Serie A in the 2011/2012 season, please.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28So, top-flight of Italian football.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33All you need to win that £1,000

0:38:33 > 0:38:36is for one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:38:36 > 0:38:37BOTH: Yes.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39We shall put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41There they are. Your time starts now.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Is it Chievo? - No, there's Salernitana.- OK!

0:38:45 > 0:38:50Erm...I don't know if they were in Serie A.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Erm...Verona?

0:38:53 > 0:38:55I don't know.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Er...Napoli?

0:38:56 > 0:38:59They might be a bit too...being in the Champions League.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03- What about Sampdoria? - Sampdoria, yeah, Sampdoria.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08- So, shall we go for those three? - Sampdoria's, I don't know about...

0:39:08 > 0:39:12We'll go for Chievo as the last one but Sal... We'll put Salernitana in.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16- We're having that one as well?- We'll put in...- OK, we've got our three.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Stop the clock, you have your three answers.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK, we were looking for top-flight Italian teams

0:39:21 > 0:39:23in the 2011/2012 season.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I now need your three answers.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28- We're going to go for Sampdoria... - Sampdoria.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- ..Chievo...- Chievo.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35- ..and Salernitana. - And Salernitana.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39Of those three, which do you think is your best punt at a pointless answer?

0:39:39 > 0:39:43- We'll go for Salernitana. - Salernitana we'll put last,

0:39:43 > 0:39:45- which one do you want to put first? - Sampdoria.

0:39:45 > 0:39:50OK, let's put them up on the board in that order. And here we have...

0:39:56 > 0:39:57There they are.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01We were looking for top-flight Italian teams

0:40:01 > 0:40:04from the 2011/2012 season.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07Your first answer, Sampdoria, was your least confident shot

0:40:07 > 0:40:08at a pointless answer.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer

0:40:11 > 0:40:13to win that £1,000 jackpot.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16OK, let's see, Sampdoria, is that right

0:40:16 > 0:40:19and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Ooh!

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Bad luck, that is an incorrect answer,

0:40:28 > 0:40:31which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot,

0:40:31 > 0:40:341,000 quid. What would you do with a grand?

0:40:34 > 0:40:39I think I'd probably take my friend Paul to the Edinburgh Fringe for a week or so.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40Very good. Damian, how about you?

0:40:40 > 0:40:44I'd probably take my wife Debbie away for a weekend somewhere.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Lovely. Well, you have two more chances to win that jackpot.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49Let's hope you can do it.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51We are looking for top-flight Italian football teams.

0:40:51 > 0:40:55Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Chievo.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58This has to be right and it has to be pointless

0:40:58 > 0:41:01if you are going to win. Let's see if it is right

0:41:01 > 0:41:03and, if it is, let's see how many people said Chievo.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07It is right.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09There we are, your first answer was incorrect,

0:41:09 > 0:41:11this is right, we're now on track.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13If this goes all the way down to zero

0:41:13 > 0:41:16you will be leaving here with £1,000.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Into single figures, still going down...

0:41:18 > 0:41:20- You've done it! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Very, very well done! Chievo.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Brilliant!- Ciao bella!- Bella!

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Superb.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Oh! Very, very, very well done.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Chievo WAS a pointless answer,

0:41:37 > 0:41:41which means you are leaving here with our jackpot of £1,000.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Very well done, Damian and Chris! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Yes, terrific stuff, terrific stuff

0:41:50 > 0:41:53and nice to see the son do some heavy lifting in the last rounds!

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Chievo or Chievo Verona - very well played.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59I did this question earlier and I know how I did it.

0:41:59 > 0:42:03Do you know about Italian football or do you play computer games?

0:42:03 > 0:42:04A little bit of both.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08The computer games, all the Serie A teams, you can play as them.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11That would be a good way of learning how to pronounce the name of the team?

0:42:11 > 0:42:15- LAUGHTER - So, like, so not, Chi-ay-vo but Key-ay-vo.- Key-ay-vo.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18I apologise, all Italians and Chievo fans.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Salernitana, or Salerno, are actually a fourth-flight team

0:42:22 > 0:42:25and Sampdoria are second-flight now as well.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Let's look at the pointless answers, only four of them.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35Novara, who were promoted last year to Serie A.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Very well done if you said any of those at home. Well played, guys.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Thanks once again to our winning players Damian and Chris,

0:42:41 > 0:42:43who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- APPLAUSE - Very well done.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51Join us next time to put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01'If you want to be on the next series of Pointless,

0:43:01 > 0:43:03'you can find out more by going to...'
