0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show were the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And we start by welcoming back Helen and Gen.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39You were on the show last time,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44this is your second and final chance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Now, remind us how you two know each other.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Ha-ha-ha!- There is some dispute over this.- There is dispute over it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51I think we met at the pub,
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Helen thinks we met because I was driving a truck in a...
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Carnival parade.- Carnival parade. - As you do!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59- So, either way, you met...- Yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Last time you on the show you were robbed! You went out in Round One.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- We did, we did. We... - What was it that did for you?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Well, it was as much being first and last as it was airports
0:01:11 > 0:01:14because we, sort of, knew the airports. We just...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We were in the wrong places.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18So, what are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I'm an Australian republican but a British monarchist.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23LOVE the British Royal family!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Can even name all of Queen Victoria's nine children
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so I would like something about the Royal family, please.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31All right, well, we will have to see what comes up.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Very best of luck, Helen and Gen. Lovely to have you back.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And next we welcome John and Tim. Now, how do you know each other?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Well, I've worked at this printers in, just outside Hammersmith
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for about 11 years now
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and John was fortunate enough to join the team about six years ago.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- What do you like to do when you're not printing, John? - Play a bit of golf.- Hm-mm.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Not very well!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- The ball doesn't go where I hit it all the time, I don't know why. - LAUGHTER
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And I've got two lovely grandchildren who keep me on my toes, James and Lucy.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01OK, well, very best of luck, don't let them down!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Tim, what do you like? Your interests?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, my main interest is sport, football mainly.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Anything you would hate to come up?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10History is not a big one for me
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- but politics is possibly the worst one for me.- Oh, right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- John, any bete noire for you? - Bete noire? Well, science, I guess.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Modern-day celebrities, anything to do with, erm...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23What's the cut-off point for modern day?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- I mean, celebrities of what age? - About 1972!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- LAUGHTER - Good. Well, very best of luck to you, John and Tim,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30it's great to have year!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And next we welcome back Chris and Paul.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33You were also on the show last time.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Remind us, first, how you know each other.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Well, Chris is my older brother.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- And you are down here from Aberdeen? - We are, yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43You were very unfortunate not to make it to the final last time.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44We got all the way to the head-to-head
0:02:44 > 0:02:48and, unfortunately, got a question about Napoleon,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50which, even though we got a right answer,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53the other guys got a better one, so...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What would you like to come up? What would be your ideal subject?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00I requested music questions in the last show and nothing came up
0:03:00 > 0:03:04so I'm reiterating my request for a question about music.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- OK.- That's my passion, really. - What's the big man saying? No!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Paul, anything you'd like Richard to be deaf to?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- I do like football so I'd like that to come up.- OK.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Chris, remind us what you do. - I'm a criminal lawyer.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20A criminal lawyer.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- And, Paul, what about you? - I'm an architectural technician. - An architectural technician.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, very, very best of luck to you, the pair of you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I don't think you'll need it but we will see, who knows?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Who knows what will happen in Pointless?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And next we welcome back Jessica and Carol,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36you were also on the show last time.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Remind us how you two know each other.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- We're mother and daughter.- And remind us what happened last time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Disney did for us, really. - Oh, as it does for so many.- I know.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Well, you know, you didn't get any wrong answers.- No!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- And you came up with WALL-E.- I did. - Spectacular! One of the lowest scorers in the round, I believe.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now then, Jessica, what would you like to see come up today?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57We're both football fans, we're Arsenal supporters.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- So, you know, anything about Arsenal is fine or sport in general.- Hm-mm.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Books, that's it really. - Well, of course, you work in children's literature,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09you're a publicist, so we've got to hope that if that does come up
0:04:09 > 0:04:10you're going to wipe the floor with everyone.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Well, let's hope. Fingers crossed! - And, Carol?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Antiques, you know...- Antiques!
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Well, we discovered last time you collect smoothing irons.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- I do.- And you also collect shoes?- I do.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- May I see what shoes you are wearing today?- I've got the same.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- The same ones on? Ooh! Resplendent. - I couldn't bring too many.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Did you not bring two pairs down? - No, I brought three!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- And you decided that you'd wear your lucky lime ones?- Yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- THEY LAUGH - Cos they did you so well last time!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- LAUGHTER - Well, I commend you on your shoes. - Thank you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- And your consistency as well! - Thank you!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's lovely to have you back. Let's hope we see more of you also today.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show, as it goes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The only man I know who reads the dictionary to relax.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- He is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- How are you today? Are you well?- I'm very well, thank you. How are you?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm well. We broke the curse of the returning contestant last time.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Alan and Phil got through to the final, which was great news.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14That actually means we've got three returning pairs today
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and all returning pairs - we haven't got a wrong answer from them.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The pairs that got knocked out were knocked out, unfortunately, I thought,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so it's going to be a battle royale, I suspect.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26John and Tim, though, welcome! Welcome to this illustrious reunion.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER We meet up every now and again, the eight of us,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33but you are very welcome to join us. But it should be a cracker, I think.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37A little bit of sport in Round One, which is wonderful for some people,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38terrible for others.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, all our questions on Pointless
0:05:40 > 0:05:42have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47To stay in the game and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Now, what everyone's trying to do, is to find a pointless answer,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:05:56 > 0:06:00and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08So, today's jackpot starts off at £4,250.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09APPLAUSE
0:06:11 > 0:06:12OK, let's play Pointless.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29If anyone gives an incorrect answer they will score 100 points,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31so try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Can you all decide in your pairs, who is going to go first,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43who is going to go second?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04We're looking for any sportsman
0:07:04 > 0:07:07who has won an individual medal for Team GB at any Olympics,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11that's winter or summer, from 1948 through to 2010, please.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It has to be an individual medal rather than a team medal.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Very best of luck. First names and surnames, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Right, Helen and Gen, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and, for the second time running, you are going first.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Helen, the Olympics. Is this good for you in any way?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30No.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- You don't like the Olympics at all? - I can think of three people but...
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Are they Olympians?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37They're all, sort of, like, from Who Do You Think You Are, you know?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40So I'm trying to remember whether they won medals.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42All of this putting off the evil moment, you know?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47I'm just going to have to go with, I think he's a real person,
0:07:47 > 0:07:48I think he's an Olympian!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51- Steve Hoy?- Steve Hoy, says Helen.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Let's see if that's right
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Steve Hoy.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- GROANING - Oh, bad luck, Helen!
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Ouch. Richard.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah, sorry, Helen, not an Olympian but I'm sure he's a real person...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I'm sure there'll will genuinely be someone sitting at home called Steve Hoy going...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Calling his wife going, "I was just an answer."
0:08:18 > 0:08:20"Helen's just said me."
0:08:20 > 0:08:25"Helen thinks I've won a gold medal, perhaps I have!"
0:08:26 > 0:08:30He'll be upstairs looking through his drawer going, "Perhaps I totally have.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32"Perhaps I'm a pole vaulter."
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's unlucky, sorry.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Tim, now then. I think you might be quite good at this.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I can think of quite a few names.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yes, I bet you can.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I'm juggling with two.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I think I might go with...
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I believe he won a bronze medal in Montreal 1976,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think it was the 5,000...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52This is not going to be Steve Hoy, is it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54LAUGHTER
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Is it Brendan Foster?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Brendan Foster.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I believe he was the only athlete to win a medal that year.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Brendan Foster. John looks a bit affronted by that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Stands back in amazement.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Brendan Foster. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11It's right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Down it goes, look at that... Oh, it's pointless, very, very well done.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Spectacular pointless answer there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,500.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It scores you an admirable nothing.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33There we are, very well done, Tim, what a start.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Some people hate sports, some people love sport, don't they?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39He won the bronze in the 10,000 metres in Montreal, Brendan Foster.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Paul.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So we are looking for Team GB male medal-winning Olympians.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51OK, there's a couple of names I know but disgracefully I'm going to have to steal Helen's Answer
0:09:51 > 0:09:54and I know the fellow Scot won gold.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57He's won team gold as well but I'm sure he won an individual medal.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'm going to go with Chris Hoy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Chris Hoy.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Steve Hoy's now going, "Now they've got my brother on as well!" - LAUGHTER
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He's ringing up., "Chris, you'll never guess..."
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Chris Hoy, let's see if it's correct
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and if it is how many people said it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17It's right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Very well done, eight.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Oh, Helen, that could have been yours.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That could've been yours. Eight points for Chris Hoy, very well done, Paul. Richard.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37He has won, he's won individual and team golds. Sir Chris Hoy, of course.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Jessica.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44I'm going to play it quite safe with someone who never won a gold medal but came close
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and I'm going to say Colin Jackson.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Colin Jackson says Jessica.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Let's see if it's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Very well done, indeed, Jessica. four for Colin Jackson.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08An excellent answer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Richard.- Well done, Jessica, won a silver in Seoul.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Thanks, Richard.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Tim and John, lovely low score of nothing, then we go up
0:11:18 > 0:11:21to four where we find Jessica and carol,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24up to eight where we find Paul and Chris
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and Helen and Gen - I don't know I'm just looking down the line.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I'm just hoping something will happen that might throw you a lifeline. Who knows?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Anything could happen in the next part but very best of luck, Gen.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:39 > 0:11:45So then, Carol, we're looking for Team GB male Olympians who have won a medal.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I've got two in mind.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm not sure if he's won a medal but I hope he did.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'm going to go for Roger Black.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Roger Black, says Carol.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Now, there's your red line.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Roger Black, is it right and how many people said it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01If it's right, you're through to the next round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Oh, it's a great answer, look at that, three!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12A wonderful score, Carol, takes your total up to seven.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Roger Black, Richard. - Won an individual silver behind Michael Johnson in 1996.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Thank you very much.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Chris, remember we are looking for athletes who have won
0:12:22 > 0:12:24an individual geld medal for Team GB.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28The high scorers are Gen and Helen, still on 100.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You are on 8. A score of 91 or less will see you through.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's not a brilliant subject for me.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But I'm pretty confident of the answer I'm going to go for
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and I'm going to say Linford Christie.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Linford Christie you are saying. Here's you red line.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Again, it's going to be nice and high, Linford Christie says Chris.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Yes, and you're through.
0:12:55 > 0:12:5724.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Good enough. Takes your total up to 32.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Linford Christie.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06He won silver in '88 then won gold in Barcelona in '92.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11John, you are on nothing. The high scorers are Gen and Helen on 100.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Your target score is 99.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18See all these young'uns at work take the mickey out us old 'uns, but we can remember a bit more.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm going to say, I can think of a few,
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- I think he's the last boxer to win an actual gold. Chris Finnegan. - Chris Finnegan.- Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Can you think of the year?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28'68.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Come from Buckinghamshire, I think he did.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33OK. Do you remember his parents' names?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Mr and Mrs Finnegan. - Lovely.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39There is your red line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Chris Finnegan. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Yes, it's right!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Down it goes.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Yes! Ha-ha-ha! Very well done, John.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01That's wonderful answer, it's a pointless answer.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,750.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It scores you nothing.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09It leaves your total at nothing. Exceptional.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11An exceptional round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12How about that? First time on the show.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Double pointless. Yeah 1968, Mexico City, Chris Finnegan, a middleweight,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17won the gold medal.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not the last boxer to win a gold medal, though.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I won't say the other name just in case Gen has that in her locker.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I'll give you a clue, it wasn't Steve Hoy.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Gen, the bad news is you're the high scorers even before your answer.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I've been thinking about three different ones.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Steve Cram, Steve Ovett and Bradley Wiggins
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and I'm going to go for Steve Cram.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Steve Cram, says Gen.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53No red line for you I'm afraid as you are the highest scorers.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yep, it's right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:0211.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05APPLAUSE
0:15:05 > 0:15:0811, lovely low score, takes your total up to 111.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Richard.- Well played, Gen, won a silver in the 1,500 metres in 1984.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Bradley Wiggins would've scored you one point. That would have been a terrific answer.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19There's a lot of pointless answers. Just take a look at a few.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21A few of the ones you might have got at home.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Adrian Moorhouse, the swimmer. Brendan Foster, we've already had.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Chris Brasher who won in 1956, went on to found the London Marathon.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Was also one of Roger Bannister's pacemakers for
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the four-minute mile, along with Chris Chataway.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Darren Campbell won a 200m medal.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39James Degale, was a gold medal-winning boxer
0:15:39 > 0:15:41so he was our most recent gold medal-winning boxer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Jason Kenny the cyclist is pointless.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Nicky Gooch, a speed skater, so he won a Winter Olympic medal,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and two more boxers there, Richie Woodhall and Terry Spinks.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Lots of other names, Alan Minter another boxer,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Andy Jameson, the swimmer, David Broome, Jason Queally the cyclist.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Tim Brabants, Nick Gillingham another swimmer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01All sorts of pointless answers on the list.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Let's take a look at the top scorers.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07They've all got quite low scores cos everyone has to name an awful lot of people.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Daley Thompson would have scored you 20.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Linford Christe, 24, we've already heard.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And Seb Coe, Lord Coe right at the top with 30.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. So at the end of the first round the losing pair with
0:16:19 > 0:16:23the highest score, this is awful, Helen and Gen, I'm so sorry.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'm so sorry, that was a pig of a round for you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I thought he was a horse jumper.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh dear.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36They don't do horse jumping in the Olympics...jumping over horses?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37It's not erm...
0:16:37 > 0:16:41You're quite right, he is one of Britain's leading horse jumpers.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43That man can jump over a big horse but they haven't...
0:16:43 > 0:16:47unfortunately since 1908 hasn't been in the Olympics.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Gen and Helen I can't bear it, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's such a shame, such a waste.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- We've had a great time. - Well, so have we, but I'm very sorry to say goodbye.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Gen and Helen, brilliant contestants.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02APPLAUSE
0:17:02 > 0:17:05But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Now, obviously there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head so one
0:17:14 > 0:17:17of the teams in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Obviously, John and Tim after scoring a double pointless
0:17:20 > 0:17:23in the first round are the team to beat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33who's going to go second.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42OK, our Round Two question concerns...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48On each pass we'll show you a list of six fictional characters,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50all you have to do is tell us their first names.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Give us a nice obscure answer, you're going to score fewer points,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55an incorrect answer though is 100 points.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58There's going to be 12 in all, it's a really good round this, but very hard.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03If anyone gets 12 at home you'll have done very well indeed, good luck.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09We are looking for the first name of these characters. We have got...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29OK, there are our fictional characters
0:18:29 > 0:18:32and we are looking for the first names and you're trying to find
0:18:32 > 0:18:37the first name you think the fewest of our 100 people will have known.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- John.- Alexander. - That's quite a scary list that, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I think I know a couple of them
0:18:43 > 0:18:47but it's bouncing between gung ho and playing safe.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Ill have a punt.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Inspector Morse, his first name's Endeavour.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Endeavour. Inspector Morse, Endeavour, says John.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people knew that.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Yes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Down it goes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Look at that, 17, John, that's a great answer.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13APPLAUSE
0:19:13 > 0:19:1517 for Endeavour Morse.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Yeah, well played, John. Colin Dexter revealed it at the end of his penultimate Morse novel.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21OK, there we are.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24So, Chris, remember we're looking for the first name of these
0:19:24 > 0:19:26famous fictional characters.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- It's a scary-looking board to me. - It's terrifying.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Erm, did you know any of them?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- I know one. - Do you still know one?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yeah. So I'm going to have to go for that.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I think it's the high-score on the board
0:19:37 > 0:19:40but it's professor Albus Dumbledore.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Albus Dumbledore says Chris.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people knew it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's right.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Not as high as you might have thought, 32. That's not terrible.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58APPLAUSE
0:19:58 > 0:19:5932 for Albus Dumbledore.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Yes, played by Richard Harris then Michael Gambon in the films.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Indeed, now then, Jessica.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10You're the last person to have this board so talk us through it if you like.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Jessica who works in books is finding this a little tricky.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I don't know any of them.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I can have a guess at one,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21and my guess is going to be that Miss Marple's name is Jane.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Jane Marple, says Jessica.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people knew it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It is right. Very well done, Jessica.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Thank you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Still it goes down, 14!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The lowest score of the pass.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Very good, Jane Marple, Richard.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well done, an object lesson in how to play Pointless actually.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You wouldn't have gone for it if you weren't forced to but it was obviously there
0:20:49 > 0:20:51in the back of your head, so it was worth it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Let's fill in the rest of the board. It's quite difficult. Can you fill in any, Mr Darcy?- No.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Mr Darcy, one of the most famous characters in English literature, Fitzwilliam.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Fitzwilliam Darcy - four points.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Dr Zhivago?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Andy?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08LAUGHTER
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Er, it's Yuri, very close - 2 points.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And Mr Pickwick is a pointless answer, any idea?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- No.- Samuel Pickwick.- Samuel. - Very well done.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I told you it was tough, well done if you got all of those. There's six more to come.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24OK, thanks. Let's take a look at the scores as we're halfway through the round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Jessica and Carol, lowest score of the pass, 14, with Jane Marple.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Then up to 17 where John and Tim are on the back of Endeavour Morse
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and then Chris and Paul on 32. Albus Dumbledore.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35It's not a terrible score
0:21:35 > 0:21:38but, as you said, that was the highest score there.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43OK, we'll come back down the line, could the second players please take there places at the podium.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We're going to put six more fictional characters
0:21:47 > 0:21:49on the board and here they come.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51We have got...
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Remember you're looking for the first name of these fictional characters
0:22:13 > 0:22:18and as always you're going to try and find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Carol, you're on 14. The high scorers are Paul and Chris.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26If you can score 17 or less, you are into the head-to-head.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31I don't know any of them so I'm just going to take a punt
0:22:31 > 0:22:34at Dowager Countess of Grantham, Rose.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39The Dowager Countess of Grantham, you're saying Rose.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44There is your red line, below that you are through to the next round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Rose, Countess of Grantham.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54Bad luck, Carol, I'm afraid that's incorrect which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59That takes your total up to 114 but the round is not over yet, anything could happen.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Paul, remember we are looking for the first names of these famous fictional characters.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06The high scorers on 114 are now Carol and Jessica.
0:23:06 > 0:23:13You're on 32 which means a score of 81 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19I was totally hating this round when it came up but I'm going to go with the only one I know
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and say Principal Skinner is Seymour.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Seymour Skinner.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27There's your red line, below that you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Principal Seymour Skinner, is it right?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31If so, how many people said it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Absolutely right, and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4331, that takes your total up to 63.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Seymour Skinner.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Well done, Phil, safe and sound.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51As any Simpsons fan knows his real name's Armand Tamzarian.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54He takes on Seymour Skinner's identity from a fellow soldier
0:23:54 > 0:23:56but no-one's allowed to speak about it.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57I didn't know that.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00On the penalty of death, so we shouldn't have mentioned it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06At the end of the episode where that happens the real Seymour Skinner is taken away and the judge says,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11"No-one's ever allowed to speak about this for the rest of Simpsons' history, on penalty of death."
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Wow, thank you, Richard.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Now, Tim, you're on 17, the high scorers on 114 are Carol and Jessica,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20that means a score of 96 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Talk us through the board.
0:24:21 > 0:24:28I could have some guesses at the bottom four and fortunately I think I know Inspector Clouseau.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- I think his name was Jacques. - Jacques Clouseau.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- What do you think, John? - Jacques Cousteau.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38OK, there's your red line, Tim.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Essentially, again, all you have to be is right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Jacques Clouseau, is that right and if it is how many said it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:52It is right, very well done and your through to the next round.
0:24:53 > 0:24:5521.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Very, very well played, Tim.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00That takes your total up to 38.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Richard.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I think the Jacques Cousteau thing made a number of people think that perhaps it was wrong.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Let's go through the rest of this board, it's tough again.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Any you would like to have a go at? - No.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Dr Watson might be easier now since the success of Sherlock on BBC1. - John.
0:25:13 > 0:25:19John Watson, absolutely right. 12 points that'd have scored you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Lady Chatterley?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23lady Chatterley is Constance.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24It would've scored you 3.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28the Dowager Countess of Grantham, that's Maggie Smith's character in Downton Abbey.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I haven't watched it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It's not Rose but it's another flower, it's Violet.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Tough luck, Carol, 2 points it'd have scored you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41And Mrs Dalloway, the Virginia Woolf character, this is a pointless answer, Clarissa.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Genuine congratulations if you got all 12 of those at home.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46- Think anyone got all 12?- Wow.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Someone would've done. - Someone would've done.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I'll tell you who would have got all 12.- Steve Hoy.- Steve Hoy.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00So at the end of Round Two the losing pair with the highest score is Jessica and Carol.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Round Two last time, round two this time.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Your consistency, as I've said, I've praised it before.- It's good.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- It's held true.- Yes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12But bad news for us, we have to say goodbye.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Thank you so much, Carol and Jessica, great contestants.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17APPLAUSE
0:26:17 > 0:26:22But for the remaining two pairs, things will get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Congratulations, John and Tim, Chris and Paul.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You are now only one round away from the final
0:26:34 > 0:26:39and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £4,750.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Obviously only one player can play for that money and to decide which pair it'll be
0:26:48 > 0:26:51you are now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55So the first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And you're now, of course, allowed to confer.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02This promises to be a real clash of the Pointless titans here.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We have a match on. Let's play head-to-head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Here's your first question.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16It concerns seafood and fresh water delicacies. Richard.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24I'm sure someone at the beginning said they wanted a round on seafood and fresh water delicacies,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26didn't they? I'm sure you did. Yeah, yeah, Tim.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30We're going to show you five pictures of seafood and fresh water delicacies,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32can you name any of the marine delicacies in question?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35The most obscure one will win you the point.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Wow, thanks, Richard.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Let's reveal our seafood and fresh water delicacies -
0:27:40 > 0:27:42only on Pointless -
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and we have got...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03OK, there are our five seafood and fresh water delicacies.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06John and Tim, you've played best throughout the show so far so you get to go first.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12THEY CONFER
0:28:13 > 0:28:15We're torn between two here.
0:28:16 > 0:28:22But my partner has said we can go for A, which I believe,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I hope, is a sea cucumber.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28A sea cucumber.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Chris and Paul.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Great answer if it was right, we'll hope it's not right.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36If it's right we're going to lose this one.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- We know D and E and we're going to go D.- We'll go for D.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41D, scallops.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42OK, D, scallops you're saying.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47So we have John and Tim saying A is sea cucumber.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yes, you're right!
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It is a sea cucumber.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Down it goes...
0:28:58 > 0:28:5920!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01APPLAUSE
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Chris and Paul have said D, scallops.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Will it go down lower than the 20 who said sea cucumber?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's right.
0:29:22 > 0:29:2447.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25APPLAUSE
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Very well done, John and Tim. After one question you are ahead one-nil. Richard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Well-played, John and Tim. Quite a tough board that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Let's take a look at all of the answers.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Sea cucumber there with 20. B, do you now those?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- That's razor clams. - Would've scored you 33.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42So delicious if the person,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45if the chef gets all the grit out.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- Less so other wise. - Such a horrendous thing to eat if it's covered in grit.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52That's the case with everything though, isn't it? It's like ice cream.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Ice cream I always think is delicious if there's no grit in it,
0:29:55 > 0:29:56but if it's full of grit...less so.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Let's move on.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- C, do you know C? - Well, no.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Large edible sea snails,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06it's abalone and that would've scored you 3 points.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Good answer there, scallops and E is mussels.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11That's the biggest scorer on the board, 89.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Well done if you got all of those.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16What are sea cucumbers?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18They are cucumbers that live in the sea.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20No, they are...
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Are they meat?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Can we get the picture up? They're essentially marine chocolate eclairs.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- It's just a marine creature with a very leathery skin. - So it's a fruit, vegetable.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- No, it's an animal. - Oh, it's an animal?!
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- You're thinking of cucumbers. - Here is your second question.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Now, Chris and Paul, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Here it comes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It concerns World War One.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50This question we're going to show you five clues to facts
0:30:50 > 0:30:53about World War One, again, which is the most obscure? Best of luck.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Let's reveal our five facts about the First World War
0:30:58 > 0:30:59and here they come.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47There are your five clues to facts about World War One,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Chris and Paul, you go first.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53OK, we know a couple of them
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but we're going to go for the Archduke assassinated in Sarajevo.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Franz Ferdinand.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Franz Ferdinand, that is
0:32:01 > 0:32:05your answer to the Archduke assassinated in Sarajevo in 1914.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09You have to win this question, remember, to stay in the game.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- Now then, John and Tim you can talk us through the board if you like. - I think the top one is Versailles.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I think the boys have got the other one right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I would say the Somme, Menin Gate
0:32:19 > 0:32:21and the year the Yanks came in - 1917, I think.
0:32:23 > 0:32:30But we'll have a punt on the Menin Gate where the Last Post is played every night.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33OK, the Lutyens memorial you are saying is the Menin Gate.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Chris and Paul, you have said Franz Ferdinand is
0:32:36 > 0:32:38the name of the Archduke assassinated in Sarajevo.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Yep, it's right.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Very well done, 13.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00And John and Tim are going for the Menin Gate
0:33:00 > 0:33:02the name of the Lutyens memorial
0:33:02 > 0:33:06where the Last Post is played nightly, Menin Gate, is that right?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08And if it is how many people said it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:11It is right.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Oh, very well done, indeed!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Six for Menin Gate.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Great answer, which means after only two questions John and
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Tim are through to the final two-nil.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Richard.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35That's terrific, very, very well played by John there.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Particularly, went through the whole board and got every single one right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Menin Gate, 8pm every night, they stop and the local fire brigade plays the Last Post.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Franz Ferdinand is famously one of the causes of the start of World War One
0:33:46 > 0:33:51but more famous to anybody under 40 as a sort of post-punk Scottish indie band.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Let's take a look at the rest.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56We've already heard all the answers from John actually,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59the French palace is Versailles, that would have scored you 42.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The river in France, you're right was the Somme, would've scored 23.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And the year USA entered World War One was 1917
0:34:05 > 0:34:07and would've score 18.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09So actually Menin Gate was the only answer that would've won you
0:34:09 > 0:34:13the points so you knew all of them and which one to choose. Very well played.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head I'm afraid,
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Chris and Paul.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Devastated. - You just came up against worthy adversaries there.- Absolutely.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Great players.- The best team won today, no doubt.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Well, that's very gracious of you to say -
0:34:28 > 0:34:30you were robbed last time, but we thought,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33"Well, you'll get another bite at this."
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Them's the breaks.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Well, that's Pointless for you so I'm afraid we have to say goodbye but you've done incredibly well.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Chris and Paul, great contestants.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:47But for John and Tim it's time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Congratulations, John and Tim, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:57 > 0:34:58and won our coveted Pointless Trophy.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £4,750.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13AUDIENCE GASPS
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Amazing, quite a rare thing from you we've had today, a clean sweep.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26Double pointless in the first round, lowest score in the first round and in the second,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28and then a clean sweep in the head-to-head,
0:35:28 > 0:35:29two-nil straight through.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33You haven't put a foot wrong...till now(!)
0:35:33 > 0:35:35LAUGHTER
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Or maybe not. The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42We've had two pointless answers on the show today,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45they both came from you, you only need to find one more now
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and you will go home with that £4,750.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52First, though, you've got to choose a category and you can choose from these five options.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53They are...
0:36:03 > 0:36:07OK, Alexander, we'll go for Rugby Union, please.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many members of
0:36:16 > 0:36:20the 2011 Welsh Rugby World Cup squad as they could. Richard.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Yeah, any player in the 2011 Welsh Rugby World Cup squad for the Rugby
0:36:24 > 0:36:28World Cup in New Zealand, first names and surnames please, good luck.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- HE LAUGHS - You're the Welsh one. - Yeah, I'm Welsh.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35OK, shouldn't have admitted that. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:35 > 0:36:40and all you need to win that £4,750 is for just one of those
0:36:40 > 0:36:41answers to be pointless.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Let's put 60 seconds on the clock and your time starts now.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- The captain who was sent off.- Sam Warburton.- Yeah, Sam Warburton.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Um...
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- My mind's gone blank. - The little winger, he's retired, Shane Williams.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03He's Welsh and he played, didn't he in the World Cup?
0:37:05 > 0:37:09I think there was John Yapp, was he still there?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Or was he too old, I don't know.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Sounds good, sounds good.- I'm trying to think of the bit-part players.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Who played full back?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Who's the front row?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Leigh Halfpenny played.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Right, that'll do. Jill's brother!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23THEY LAUGH
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Who've we got so far?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Was Dwayne Peel in the squad?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Rhys Priestland, he was there.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- James Hook.- 10 seconds.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Shall we go Rhys Priestland, that'd be an obvious one though, I think.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48OK, your time is up.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52There we are, I now need your three answers.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57We're looking for member of the Welsh Rugby World Cup squad 2011.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59John Yapp, Leigh Halfpenny, Rhys Priestland.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Rhys Priestland.- Yes.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09OK, there are your three answers. Of those three which do you think
0:38:09 > 0:38:12is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- We'll say John Yapp last. - John Yapp last.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Rhys Priestland in the middle and Halfpenny first.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Leigh Halfpenny first.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Let's put those answers up on the board and here they are.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30There are your answers.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35OK, we were looking for members of the Wales 2011 World Cup squad.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Leigh Halfpenny you said was your least confident punt at a pointless answer.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45You only have to find one remember to win that £4,750 jackpot.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48OK, so let's see, Leigh Halfpenny, is it right
0:38:48 > 0:38:51and if it is how many people said it? This for £4,750.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54It's right.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59It's right, first thing it has to be and down it goes.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02If this goes all the way down to zero you'll be leaving here with £4,750.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Down into single figures, still going down...
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Oh! Two.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11APPLAUSE
0:39:13 > 0:39:18Two people said Leigh Halfpenny so unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23What would you do, John, with 4,750 quid?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Probably a nice weekend away with the family.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I know just where I'd go.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Very good. Don't tell us or we'll all be there.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32How about you, Tim?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34I daresay a hard-earned week away somewhere.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Maybe go abroad, haven't been abroad for quite a few years now.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41OK. We're looking for members of the Welsh Rugby World Cup squad 2011.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Let's hope nobody said your next answer which is Rhys Priestland.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:47 > 0:39:51so for £4,750 let's see how many people said Rhys Priestland.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55It's right.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Well, Leigh Halfpenny went down to two.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Let's see how far Rhys Priestland can take this down.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04If it goes all the way down to zero, as I say, you leave with £4,750.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Down it goes...
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Oh, three.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Three!
0:40:12 > 0:40:13APPLAUSE
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Boy!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Right, OK, only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It's been very exciting.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27We're looking for members of the Welsh Rugby World Cup squad from 2011.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Your third and final answer, John Yapp.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Now, if this is right, you reckon this will go all the way down. - Hopefully.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Did you watch the World Cup?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I did, yes, screaming and shouting at the screen.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40And you're Welsh, you let that one slip.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I let the neighbours know as well.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43OK, OK.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46So you really ought to be getting this right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Oh, it's going to be an embarrassment.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51It has to be right, it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Your last shot at £4,750. Let's find out John Yapp. Is it right?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Is it pointless?
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Oh, no!
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Oh, bad luck.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Bad Luck, John and Tim.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:13 > 0:41:15pointless answer so I'm afraid you don't win today's
0:41:15 > 0:41:19jackpot of £4,750 which will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21but you have been brilliant contestants
0:41:21 > 0:41:26and you do of course get to take home our Pointless Trophy, so...
0:41:26 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Are you ready for this bit? Richard.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Sorry, guys, you played so well throughout,
0:41:37 > 0:41:38really deserved a win there.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41John Yapp played in the Six Nations but wasn't in that squad I'm afraid.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Out of that whole squad, it's an extraordinary squad of players,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48they had a brilliant World Cup, there's only five pointless answers.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Three of them had quite a lot to do with Wales' success in the World Cup.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Let's take a look at them now. The flanker Dan Lydiate.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58George North, the winger, scored three tries, played in all seven games, he was pointless.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Luke Charteris, second row, also played in all seven games.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05And then these two only played a matter of minutes each, Ryan Bevington, the prop
0:42:05 > 0:42:10and Tavis Knoyle the scrum half played in one game against Namibia.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Unlucky, guys, very well done if you got those at home.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- You recognised some of them, didn't you?- All of them, yeah.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- George North, I was trying to think of his name, couldn't think of it. - Oh, bad luck.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25John and Tim, but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Amazing stealth raid on the Pointless trophy cabinet there.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Thank you very much for playing, excellent.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Unfortunately John and Tim didn't win our jackpot today so it
0:42:38 > 0:42:43rolls over which means on our next show we will be playing for £5,750.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Join us to see if someone can win it, meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
