0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you! Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:34where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:43Welcome, Kyle and David. You are our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:43 > 0:00:49David and I have been very good friends for 35 years and we were big followers of Carlisle United
0:00:49 > 0:00:55- and punk rock. And we still are. - Very good! So Carlisle and punk rock music
0:00:55 > 0:00:58still live on. David, what do you do?
0:00:58 > 0:01:03- I'm manager at a local building society.- And how about you, Kyle?
0:01:03 > 0:01:10- I'm a publican. We've got a pub. - Excellent. That's a great way to keep up with your friends.- It is.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- And Dave plays in my darts team. - Is he good?- No.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Very good.- Do you have a quiz night? - We don't actually, no.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Might you start, maybe?- The next half hour will sort that out!
0:01:22 > 0:01:29- Have you quizzed ever before as a team?- No.- 35 years of friendship and you've never quizzed before?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Never. - Except on national television. - First time for everything.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37It's great to have you. Very best of luck.
0:01:37 > 0:01:44- Next we welcome Jude and Chris. How do you two know each other? - We met each other in college
0:01:44 > 0:01:5040 years ago, over 40 years ago, and we've been friends ever since. We were training to be teachers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- Both became teachers and I stayed in teaching for 39 years.- What did you teach?- PE to start off with
0:01:57 > 0:02:02and then when I couldn't stand up any longer, I taught maths. Which seemed a good idea.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08- What about you, Chris? You stopped teaching.- I managed 2½ years of PE teaching.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- I managed to stay standing, which was more than Judith did.- Then what?
0:02:13 > 0:02:19I moved across into sport and leisure and stayed until last May when I retired.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- Have you taken up any interesting hobbies?- We joined a Senior Citizens Going To The Pictures class!
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Very good! I like that it's a class. And where have you come from, Jude?
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- From Yorkshire.- Good stuff. It's lovely to have you here.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Next we welcome Ian and Steph. How do you two know each other?
0:02:39 > 0:02:46We met a couple of years ago and we've been boyfriend and girlfriend for a year and a half.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- I'm guessing you're from Northern Ireland.- Yeah.- Whereabouts?- Belfast.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Belfast. Now Steph, take me through your piercings.
0:02:55 > 0:03:02- It's not that hard. Just two piercings.- Is that a thing you'd seen or are you a pioneer of that?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07No, our friends are into piercings as well. And tattoos.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- But the two there.- Yeah. - Really? I need to get out more! - LAUGHTER
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- You've only got the one piercing, haven't you?- Just the one.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19LAUGHTER
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Steph... - LAUGHTER
0:03:24 > 0:03:31- What would you like to see come up? - Well, I study film, and specifically I love horror films.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Ian, how about you?- I would like to see science fiction come up,
0:03:35 > 0:03:40especially Star Trek. I've been a huge Star Trek fan since I was a kid because of my daddy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- He is an avid Star Trek fan. So am I.- Good stuff.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's great to have you. Welcome.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Next we welcome back Jeannie and Jean. You were on last time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Remind us how you did.- Go on!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Not too well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04The first subject was cricket and... we didn't disgrace ourselves.
0:04:04 > 0:04:11You didn't. By no means. That's right, it was nations competing in the Cricket World Cup.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And somebody stole my answer before I said it,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- so I had to pick something else quickly.- It's quite hard, that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23So to make up for that, what will come up and be brilliant for you?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Em...geography. Particularly American geography.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Food, drink, nature... That sort of thing.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38- OK. Jean? - Anything to do with France, musicals, TV and film musicals,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41breeds of dog would be nice.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47It's lovely to have you back. We hope to see much more of you this time.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51We'll find out more about all of you. There's only one person left.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57- Asking the questions Mastermind wouldn't dare, it's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Hiya.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I'm not certain they wouldn't dare. I think they wouldn't bother.
0:05:06 > 0:05:13Now we have the curse of the returning contestants. Nine shows in a row won by first-time contestants.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19No returning pair has won for nine shows, Jean and Jeannie, so a lot of pressure on you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24The first question today is very good if you do film studies.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30- Even better for a senior citizens going to the pictures class. - LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Very, very good. - It's about film.- Yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, I see! Right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Thanks, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people,
0:05:41 > 0:05:46but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Our players need to score as few points as possible.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Everyone wants to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02When that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. Damien and Chris won it last time, so we start at £1,000.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and cannot confer.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23The pair with the highest score will be eliminated. And an incorrect answer scores 100 points,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28so do try to avoid those. OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30film directors.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34There we are. Can we all decide who's going first and second?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Tim Burton films as they could.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53- Tim Burton films. Richard? - Any full-length feature film or animated film on cinema release
0:06:53 > 0:07:01for which Tim Burton has received a director's credit, prior to the end of 2011. Best of luck.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Kyle and David, you all drew lots and you are going first.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Kyle, Tim Burton. Are you a fan? - No. I have never heard of him.
0:07:10 > 0:07:17- Never...- I'm in big trouble here. - ..heard of him?- Well, I have, but I wouldn't know his films.- OK.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- So that's probably a problem. - Oh, not necessarily. Well, actually, yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Em...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Tim Burton films. I am going to say...
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The King's Speech.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I would pay good money... - LAUGHTER
0:07:36 > 0:07:43..to see that. OK, The King's Speech. Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47No!
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Bad luck, Kyle. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, as you probably knew.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- It scores 100 points. Richard? - Yeah, that was Tom Hooper, although it'd be a cracking film.
0:07:59 > 0:08:06- Tim Burton's The King's Speech. Perhaps he'll do a remake. You never know.- I'd love to see it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- Now then, Jude, Tim Burton films. - I, too, have never heard of him,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16but as you mentioned animation, I'm going to say The Wrong Trousers.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19The Wrong Trousers.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25- LAUGHTER - Directed by Tim Burton? Is it right and, if so, how many said it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:34Oh, dear, Jude. I'm afraid that's the wrong answer and scores 100 points. Richard?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- I hope he's not watching at home. - So do I!
0:08:38 > 0:08:44He'll be sitting there, he'll have called his wife in. "Honey, my films are on Pointless. It's awesome!
0:08:44 > 0:08:48"We'll see which of my films is the most popular. Let's settle down."
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- The Wrong Trousers. - LAUGHTER
0:08:51 > 0:08:58OK. Puts a lot of pressure on everyone else. Tim Burton is watching, on the verge of tears.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You can stop that happening.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Steph, we're looking for films directed by Tim Burton.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12I wish I knew a really obscure one. I think I know one he did, but I don't want to risk it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:19- I'll go for Edward Scissorhands. - Let's see if it's right and how many people said Edward Scissorhands.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's right!
0:09:26 > 0:09:2823!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Very well done. 23 for Edward Scissorhands. - Well played, Steph.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40From 1990. You just cheered Tim Burton up.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Now then, Jean, it's in your hands. - I'll do my best.
0:09:43 > 0:09:50- I would say The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow says Jean.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Oh!- Oh, no!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Oh...- Shoot.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Unfortunately, that's incorrect, which means you score 100 points.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14- Richard?- Sorry, Jean. I can't accept The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I'll explain why at the end.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21OK, we're halfway through. Let's look at the scores. A very high-scoring round for all but one.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Steph and Ian looking very strong there with a score of 23.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Very, very low in this context.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Jean and Jeannie on 100, Jude and Chris on 100 and Kyle and David on 100.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Tim, do keep watching. It's going to get so much better.
0:10:37 > 0:10:44So Jeannie, Chris and David, the battle is on for who will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53OK, we're looking for films directed by Tim Burton.
0:10:53 > 0:11:01Jeannie, you are joint high scorers on 100. Just name a Tim Burton film that's a really low scorer.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Well, I can name one, but I don't know if it'll be low. Sweeney Todd.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's right!
0:11:18 > 0:11:1919!
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Very, very well done. 119 is your total.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32- Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Very well done. It stars Johnny Depp.- Ian...
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Films by Tim Burton. You are on 23. The high scorers on 119 are Jean and Jeannie.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43If you can score 95 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:11:43 > 0:11:50OK, well, I'll play it safe and say Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Here comes your red line. Lovely and high.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02If you get below that, you're through to the next round. Is it right and how many said it?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Yes! And yes. You are through.
0:12:09 > 0:12:1215 - that's a great answer, Ian.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Very impressive total. Tim will be pleased. 38.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Richard?- Well done. Lowest score yet. Starring, of course... - Johnny Depp.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24LAUGHTER
0:12:24 > 0:12:30So, Chris, you are on 100. Our high scorers are Jeannie and Jean on 119.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34A score of 18 or less will see you into the next round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Do you know who Tim Burton is? - I've heard of him.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44So a good guess - I think it's a bit better than The Wrong Trousers,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47but...Scream?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Here's your red line. Quite low.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57If you get below that, you are through. Let's see if Scream is right and how many people said it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08Bad luck, bad luck. I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11That takes your total up to 200.
0:13:11 > 0:13:18- Richard?- Sorry, Chris. Sorry, Tim. That was Wes Craven, I'm afraid, who directed Scream.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24And so, David, we're looking for films directed by Tim Burton. I'll put things in context here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:31Chris and Jude are the high scorers on 200. You are on 100. A score of 99 or less...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34sees you through to the next round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- Do you know who Tim Burton is? - I know he's a director.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- LAUGHTER - Do you know any of his films?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I hope I can guess at one, yes.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- OK.- One of my guesses has gone,
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- but I'll go for Alice in Wonderland. - Alice in Wonderland.
0:13:53 > 0:14:00That is the red line. Alice in Wonderland. Is it right and, if it is, how many said it?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Oh! Very well done, David. Very well done, indeed.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Down it goes. 21!
0:14:11 > 0:14:15That's a great answer. 21 takes your total up to 121. Richard?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Very well played, David. Cool under pressure. From 2010. Starring...?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- Johnny Depp?- Johnny Depp. If this had been Johnny Depp films,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29we'd have had the same right and wrong answers.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Let's look at the answers. Only one pointless answer, so well done if you said Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41One of his very early films. Planet of the Apes scored two and Mars Attacks! was four.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Those were the lowest ones there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50I couldn't give you The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There was a film called that, a TV film,
0:14:50 > 0:14:57but his version was called Sleepy Hollow. So I couldn't accept it, but you got through anyway.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01And also Tim Burton wouldn't have been unhappy with your answer.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- He'd go, "She knows the film. She's totally seen it."- Yeah, yeah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- He'd have been fine with that. - Jean and Jeannie, very impressive. - Thank you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:18- The interesting thing about Sleepy Hollow - do you know who stars in that?- Johnny Depp.- Johnny Depp.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25There we go. Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score is Jude and Chris.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Oh, dear. Good news - you are members of our 200 Club.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34This is great. It's lovely for us. Welcome aboard.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Second bit of great news is there are a lot of good Tim Burton films to go and see.
0:15:40 > 0:15:47There's nearly a year's worth of trips for the Senior Citizens Going to the Pictures club...class.
0:15:47 > 0:15:54We will see you again next time. Any tips you've picked up from your brief appearance so far?
0:15:54 > 0:16:01- Films are out of the way now, hopefully.- Yes.- It can only get better.- It can only get better.
0:16:01 > 0:16:08We'll see you again next time. Meanwhile, Chris and Jude, thank you so much for playing.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Only two pairs go to the Head to Head, so one team leaves after this round.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28OK, our category for Round Two is... famous women.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Can you all decide who's going to go first and who goes second?
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, our Round Two question concerns...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45famous Barbaras.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- Famous Barbaras, Richard. - I get a lot of letters asking for a round on famous Barbaras.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57I've finally caved in. On each pass, six clues to famous women called Barbara.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Give us a nice obscure answer to score fewer points. An incorrect answer is 100 points.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08There's 12 Barbaras in all. Pens at the ready. Let's Barbara.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:14OK, so we are looking for famous Barbaras and here they come.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16We have got...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18HE READS THE LIST
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I will read all of those one more time.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54OK, so there are six Barbaras.
0:17:54 > 0:18:01All you have to do is find the one that you think the fewest of our 100 people would have known.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07- Now, David...- I'm going to go for famous for saying, "Walkies!". I'll go for Barbara Woodhouse.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13Barbara Woodhouse. Let's see if that's right and how many knew it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's right.
0:18:19 > 0:18:2034.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- 34 for Barbara Woodhouse. - She was so famous in the '80s.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Literally anybody under 30 is going to go, "Huh?"
0:18:33 > 0:18:39And everybody over 30 will go, "Barbara Woodhouse!" She was very famous for training dogs.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42There we are. Barbara Woodhouse.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48- Steph...- The only one I know is the one David didn't go for, so I'm really glad he didn't.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I hope it's right. I think the US First Lady is Barbara Bush.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58Barbara Bush says Steph. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's right!
0:19:04 > 0:19:0551.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14- 51, Richard.- Only the second woman in history to be wife and mother to a President.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Abigail Adams being the other one.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- It's gone AA, BB so far. - Alliterative.- Interesting.
0:19:20 > 0:19:27- So Christina...someone has to be President... - Or how about Chelsea Clinton?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's clever.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And then...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Diana Dors. Less likely. - Less likely.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Jeannie, you're the last person to have these Barbaras.
0:19:41 > 0:19:48We have a new batch of Barbaras for the next pass, so take your pick of those while they're still hot.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- There's one I think I know...- Talk us through them all if you like.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58I don't know some of them. I think I know one and I'm sure of the other,
0:19:58 > 0:20:05- so I think I'm going to play safe and say Mrs Ringo Starr was Barbara Bach.- Barbara Bach.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Absolutely right. 19 - the lowest score of the pass. Very well done.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Richard?- Good answer. She was in The Spy Who Loved Me and married Ringo in 1981.
0:20:28 > 0:20:35- Was there another one you were tempted to go for?- I think the sculptor was Barbara Hepworth.
0:20:35 > 0:20:42Absolutely right. Best answer on the board. It would have scored six points, so very good answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Debut novel A Woman Of Substance? Alexander?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Barbara Taylor Bradford? - Absolutely right. 17 points.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- And the Hollywood star? - Streisand?
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Barbara Stanwyck.- Stanwyck!- It was before Streisand's time. 9 points.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Well done if you got all those. Good Barbara work.- It's not over.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores. 19 for Jean and Jeannie. Lovely.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Then up to 34 for David and Kyle, then up to 51 for Steph and Ian.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Ian, good luck with your Barbara-ing.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:22 > 0:21:27OK, we're going to put six more Barbaras up on the board.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- We've got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'll read those all one more time.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10So there are our famous Barbaras. You want the one that the fewest people knew.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Jean, you're the low scorers on 19. The high scorers are on 51.
0:22:15 > 0:22:22A score of 31 or less will see you comfortably into the next round. How many Barbaras do you know?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Well, it's finding the one that the whole population doesn't know!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I know a couple.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35I'm going to go with the UK number one single with Elaine Paige - Barbara Dickson.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Barbara Dickson you are saying. Here comes your red line.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Below that, you are comfortably through. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's right.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Very well done! You are through.
0:22:52 > 0:22:5516 - that's brilliant!
0:22:55 > 0:23:02- Takes your total up to 35. Richard?- Is this the end of the curse of the returning pairs?
0:23:02 > 0:23:08- Ssh!- The single, I Know Him So Well, the biggest-selling single in UK history by a female duo.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14- Really?- Yep. Peter Kay and Susan Boyle did a cover of it for Comic Relief.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Thanks, Richard. So, Ian, we come to you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:24You are the high scorers on 51. We need a nice low answer from you or we'll be saying goodbye to you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30- We're looking for famous Barbaras. - There's only one that I know and I think it'll be a high scorer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36I just have to say it. From Carry On to EastEnders, Barbara Windsor.
0:23:36 > 0:23:43Barbara Windsor says Ian. Let's see if Barbara Windsor is right and how many people said it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It is right. Oh!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51What about that?! 90 people knew that.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53That takes you to an unbeatable 141.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Richard? - That is a famous Barbara.- Yeah!
0:23:57 > 0:24:03That is quite something. See, Tim Burton? That's famous.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Right there.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Kyle, good news - you're through to the next round.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Bad news, I'd like you to fill in this board for us.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20I can't fill in the board, but there's two there where I'd have an educated guess.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25The profilic...whatever the word is, "pink" British writer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Barbara Cartland.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Barbara Cartland. I now understand what that meant!
0:24:31 > 0:24:35It's THAT Barbara. How could you not mention pink?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Or is it? I don't want to spoil the jeopardy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Let's have a look, see if it's right and how many it scored.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46LAUGHTER
0:24:47 > 0:24:54Good. Um...let's see if that's right, Kyle, and if it is
0:24:54 > 0:24:57let's see how many people said Barbara Cartland.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Come on.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02There we are! Yes, it is right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0842! That's a great answer. Takes your total to 76.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But you are through anyway.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Richard...- Well played, Kyle. Let's look through the rest.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Do you know who introduced the breathalyser?- No idea. - A Labour politician.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- Oh, Barbara Castle.- Absolutely right. Would have scored you 7.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30The pseudonym of Ruth Rendell? It's very good as well.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- My mum's favourite. My mum prefers her to Ruth Rendell.- I know...
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Barbara V...- Vine!- Well done. I'll give you that. 4 points.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Former MP married to author Ken is a pointless answer.- Barbara Follett.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Well done if you got all those and if you got all 12 Barbaras.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51A whole lot of Barbara there. Thanks.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55The losing pair with the highest score is Ian and Steph with 141.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Dear, oh, dear. But who knew that Barbara Windsor would be... You might as well have got it wrong!
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Everyone. - So manifestly famous is she.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Listen, we will see you again next time. We've done Barbaras now.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- It's out of the way.- There's more Barbaras where that came from. - LAUGHTER
0:26:15 > 0:26:21Ian and Steph, sorry to be saying goodbye to you so soon. Next time we'll see much more of you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Thanks so much. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:26:25 > 0:26:31But for the remaining two pairs things are about to get even more exciting in the Head to Head.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Congratulations, Jeannie and Jean, Kyle and David. You are now only one round away from the final
0:26:42 > 0:26:47and a chance to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:50 > 0:26:57Now obviously only one pair can play for that money and you're now going to go head to head
0:26:57 > 0:27:02on the best of three questions. The first pair to win two plays for the jackpot.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07And you are now allowed to confer. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:13 > 0:27:20OK, here is your first question. It concerns...museums and galleries of the world.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26- Museums and galleries of the world. Richard?- We'll show you five pictures of museums and galleries.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32We showed these to our 100 people. You have to tell us in which city are these located.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38- The most obscure answer will win you the point.- Let's reveal the five.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And we have got...
0:27:54 > 0:27:59OK. There are five museums or galleries
0:27:59 > 0:28:05and we want you to supply the name of the most obscure one you think you recognise,
0:28:05 > 0:28:11which fewest of our 100 people knew. Jeannie and Jean, you played best so far and you go first.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Em, we think C is the Guggenheim in New York.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26C. The Guggenheim you are saying. The Guggenheim in New York.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32- Kyle and David, you can now do all your thinking out loud. - I definitely know A,
0:28:32 > 0:28:39but I don't think it'll be a better answer than the ladies have given, so we'll take a guess at B
0:28:39 > 0:28:41and say Madrid.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You're going to say Madrid for B.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49So we have New York from Jeannie and Jean and Madrid from Kyle and David.
0:28:49 > 0:28:55C is New York say Jeannie and Jean. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Very well done! Seven!
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Seven for New York. Very well done, Jean and Jeannie.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22Kyle and David have said Madrid for B. B, Madrid.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- Complete shot in the dark? - I've been to the Prado, but...
0:29:28 > 0:29:31So it's a shot in the dark! I don't think that's it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37Ah, well, OK. Kyle and David have said that B is Madrid.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It is right!
0:29:44 > 0:29:46That's fantastic.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And it wins you the point!
0:29:50 > 0:29:52What about that?
0:29:55 > 0:30:00That was a museum entrance fee very well spent, I'd say, Kyle.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Madrid, a correct answer and it scores only two.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08So Kyle and David are ahead one-nil.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Not only right, but the best answer on the board. Unbeatable.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17It was right as well to avoid A. It is Paris, the Louvre,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19but would have scored 43 points.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23The Prado in Madrid scores two, the Guggenheim seven.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28D is the Tate Modern in London. It scored 16 points.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Very low scorer.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36And E is a wonderful museum in a wonderful city. St Petersburg and the Hermitage Museum.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39It would have scored nine points.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Jean and Jeannie have to win this to stay in the game. Good luck.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53Our second question concerns African countries. Richard?
0:30:53 > 0:30:59We'll now show you a list of five African countries, but sadly for you they're all in anagram form.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05Can you, like our 100 people, solve those anagrams and, if you can, which is the most obscure?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Thank you. Let's reveal our five African countries in anagram form.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Here they are.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15HE READS THE LIST
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'll read those one more time.
0:31:28 > 0:31:35So there you are. Kyle and David, you go first this time. I'll give you a while to think.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45I'm going to have a go for the top one, Release Iron.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- It's Sierra Leone. - Sierra Leone for Release Iron.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56OK, Jeannie and Jean, take us through the board if you like and pick whichever one you want.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00We think the bottom one is Mozambique.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02The next one up is Angola.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Liberia.- Yeah.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- Not sure about the other one. - I think we go for Angola, don't we? - Yeah.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- Angola.- Angola. - Angola you are saying.
0:32:16 > 0:32:22So we have Sierra Leone and Angola. Jean and Jeannie, we really need you to win this one.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27We need you to stay and break the curse of the returning pairs!
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Kyle and David, you went first and went for Sierra Leone.
0:32:32 > 0:32:39Let's see if Release Iron is indeed Sierra Leone and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Oh, it's low. Oh, it IS low. Look at that.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Eight.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Eight for Sierra Leone.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Jean and Jeannie, so you have said Analog, Angola.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's right.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Eight is what it has to beat.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Oh, 47!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Wow.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22The curse goes on!
0:33:22 > 0:33:28After two questions only, Kyle and David are through to the final, two-nil. Richard?
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Well played. I think you would have said Sierra Leone.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Let's get to the one that would have won it for you. Do the others first.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Be A Quiz Mom is Mozambique.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Very hard to do an anagram of a word with a Z and a Q.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48Air Bile is Liberia. It was slightly better, but still scored 20 points.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53And Deep Crave would have won it. It was one point - Cape Verde.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Cape Verde. A series of islands off the coast of Africa.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- So at the end of the Head to Head, our losing pair is Jean and Jeannie. - AUDIENCE "Ahh"
0:34:05 > 0:34:10"Ahh" indeed. You played so well throughout the show
0:34:10 > 0:34:16and here we are. We've come to the Head to Head and Kyle and David have whipped it away from you.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Out in Round One last show, but you played phenomenally well.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye, but thanks. Excellent contestants.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31But for Kyle and David it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:36 > 0:34:43Congratulations, Kyle and David. You fought off the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. The jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Well, you survived a 100-pointer in the first round.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09And came through to a straight two sets victory in the Head to Head.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Very good. And you've now got a nice new ornament for your pub.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19- Absolutely. - You want to put that somewhere well back from the bar.- Yeah.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Somewhere up among the single malts.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- We never get them down.- Oh, right.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Oh, dear.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Well, to win that money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35We haven't had any today. Find one now and you go home with the money.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39First, you've got to choose a category from these five options.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41They are...
0:35:41 > 0:35:43HE READS THE LIST
0:35:48 > 0:35:53- What are you thinking? - What do you think?- Football.- Yeah.
0:35:53 > 0:36:00- Sixties is probably too early for us.- Probably not!- If you want to go for Sixties Singers we could do.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- If it was Seventies Singers... - Will we go for football?- Yeah.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- We'll go for football. - Football it is. OK.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13Let's find out what the question is going to be. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:13 > 0:36:17FIFA World Cup winning captains as they could.
0:36:17 > 0:36:23- Richard?- We're looking for any player who captained a winning side in the final of a World Cup,
0:36:23 > 0:36:28from its inception in 1930, right through to the 2010 tournament.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- So the final or the deciding game, as it was in some tournaments.- OK.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41All you need to win that £1,000 is for one to be pointless. Ready?
0:36:41 > 0:36:46OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Your time starts now.
0:36:48 > 0:36:54- Germany, Beckenbauer. Argentina - could Kempes have been captain?- No, Maradona.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- No, the earlier one.- Kempes, yeah. - And...another one...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- France.- Italy.
0:37:02 > 0:37:09Was Bettega the captain? I don't think they won it when he was captain.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Brazil, '70. 1970. Brazil in 1970. - Socrates.- Was he?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17No, it's too late for him.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23- We'll have to start thinking about what we're going to say. Beckenbauer.- Yeah.- A safe one.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- I'll say Kempes is an outsider. - Yeah.- And...- Socrates, was he playing for Brazil?- He's later.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Did they win...?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- '74 was in Spain, wasn't it? - No, '82 was Spain.
0:37:37 > 0:37:4010 left.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Will we go for Socrates? - Just as a guess.- Yeah, we will.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- OK, you have your three answers? - We have.- Your minute is now up.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52FIFA World Cup winning captains.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I now need your three answers.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- Right. The first one we'll go for is Franz Beckenbauer.- Beckenbauer.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- The second one is Socrates. - Socrates.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- And the third one we'll go for is Kempes.- Kempes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:14- Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?- The only one we're sure of is Beckenbauer!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18No, I don't think that will be pointless. Go with an obscure one.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- So we'll go for...- Socrates. - Socrates, then.
0:38:22 > 0:38:29- So put him in last.- Yeah. - Which is your least likely? - I think Beckenbauer.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35So Beckenbauer first, Kempes second, Socrates last. OK, let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44OK, we were looking for FIFA World Cup winning captains.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Franz Beckenbauer was your least confident shot.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51You only have to find one pointless answer to win.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56Let's see if Franz Beckenbauer is right and how many people said it.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00It's right.
0:39:01 > 0:39:07It's right. Here we will discover how much our 100 people know about FIFA World Cup captains.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11If this goes to zero, you leave...
0:39:14 > 0:39:21I was about to say with £1,000. Unfortunately, it wasn't pointless, but you kind of knew that.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. £1,000.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32- What would you do with that, David? - I think I'd take my wife on another honeymoon.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37Six months ago we went on honeymoon and our luggage didn't turn up
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- so I'll treat her to a honeymoon again.- OK.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45We are looking for... Kyle, I didn't even ask you!
0:39:45 > 0:39:51Because I'm not sure we'll win, I'll go on record and say I'll buy everyone in the pub a drink
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- that's in to watch it live. - Very good.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00There you are. A little half of lemonade for everyone.
0:40:00 > 0:40:06OK, we are looking for FIFA World Cup winning captains. Let's hope that nobody said Mario Kempes.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10This has to be right. Do you think it's right?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13We're just guessing for a pointless answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- So if it is right, there's every chance.- Hopefully.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Mario Kempes. This is for £1,000.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34Bad luck! That's an incorrect answer. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40We were looking for FIFA World Cup winning captains. Your third and final answer is Socrates.
0:40:40 > 0:40:46- You put him last as he had a better chance of being pointless than of being right.- Correct.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- There's logic in that.- There is. - Somewhere.- There is!
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Let's see. It has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Let's see. Socrates. How many people said it? Is it right?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- No! Bad luck!- Never mind.
0:41:12 > 0:41:19Well, unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer, so you don't win today's jackpot,
0:41:19 > 0:41:26which will roll over to the next show, but you have been fantastic. And you take our Pointless trophy.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34This is always the tough bit. Richard?
0:41:34 > 0:41:40Valiant wrong answers, though. Socrates was the captain in the '82 World Cup for Brazil,
0:41:40 > 0:41:45but they didn't win. It was Italy under Dino Zoff, who was 3 points.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50And Mario Kempes played for the 1978 World Cup winning team.
0:41:50 > 0:41:56- The captain was a pointless answer. Daniel Passarella. - Ah, I wouldn't have got that.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Let's look at the pointless ones. Passarella probably the easiest.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05Fritz Walter won for Germany in '54, Giuseppe Meazza won for Italy in '38.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Mauro Ramos was the 1962 captain for Brazil.
0:42:09 > 0:42:15And Obdulio Varela was the captain of Uruguay in 1950.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20People out there knew the very first World Cup winning captains in 1930 and '34.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Bright people amongst our 100. Unlucky, guys.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Well done if you got those at home.
0:42:26 > 0:42:33Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, but it's been brilliant. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42Unfortunately, Kyle and David didn't win our jackpot so it rolls over and on the next show we play for...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44£2,000!
0:42:47 > 0:42:53- Join us next time. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And goodbye from me.
