0:00:25 > 0:00:29Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:35the quiz putting obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:45So welcome to Lee and Paul. You are our first pair. How do you two know each other?
0:00:45 > 0:00:52Around six years ago, we met playing a game of pub golf. We were handcuffed together - nothing weird.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57It was a little bit awkward, but we drank our way through it.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03- Pub golf?- Yeah.- Actually playing golf representing your pub or playing golf in a pub?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Drinking pints with a par three. - I see.- 18 pubs, pretty much.
0:01:07 > 0:01:15- Did anyone else remain friends?- No! - They've all gone their separate ways. Where was this?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Chelmsford in Essex. Or near it.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- OK. Lee, what do you do? - I'm a teacher.- What do you teach? - Business studies and economics.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Paul, how about you? - I'm an IT consultant.- Welcome.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Next we welcome Eric and Margie. How do you two know each other?
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- We are boyfriend and girlfriend. - Very good. Where are you from? - Washington, in Tyne and Wear.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- The original Washington.- Yes. - What would you love to come up?
0:01:43 > 0:01:49Only Fools And Horses, Carry On films, musicals.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Eric, how about you? - Football, geography, history.
0:01:53 > 0:02:01- Margie, have you got a specialist category?- Well, I must admit, embarrassingly,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm Ant and Dec's biggest fan.
0:02:04 > 0:02:11- Back from PJ and Duncan times? - Oh, yeah. To this day, I've still got all the singles and albums,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13posters, mugs, t-shirts.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Have you met them?- I have met them once, at a signing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I know that Declan's brother is a priest.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27One time I went and camped outside the church where his brother worked,
0:02:27 > 0:02:32just in the hope that he would maybe go in for a service.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Did he?- No.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Great to have you here. Very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:47Next we welcome back the Janets, W and G. You were on last time. Remind us what happened.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51We went out on fashion and anagrams.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58- Remind us how you know each other. - Janet wanted a chicken costume to go to a hen party.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03And I was making chicken costumes at the time, so she went dressed as a chicken.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Of your design.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Very good. Very best of luck to you. Great to have you back on the show.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- And, finally, Tara and Kelly. How do you know each other? - I work for Kelly and live with her.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I babysit her children an she's my sister.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- How do you work for her? - We have a family pub.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28She's the landlady with her husband. He's the landlord!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- And I am her...- Second in command. My husband's at the bottom.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- Really?- Yeah, yeah.- So who's running the pub today?- Who knows?- Kids!
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Brilliant!- The four-year-old and the two-year-old.- Excellent.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Welcome to the show. We'll find out more about all of you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52There's only one person left. He is six foot seven inches of pure obscurity.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55He is my pointless friend, Richard.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Hiya. Hello.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- Only one returning pair today, the Janets.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12They performed very well. They got steamrollered in the Head to Head with Guy and James,
0:04:12 > 0:04:17but they'll be very tough to beat. Margie, if you get to Round Two,
0:04:17 > 0:04:23the question is members of Ant and Dec. There are two possible answers.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Very good. We'll look forward to that.- Yeah(!)- Thanks, Richard.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35All our questions were put to 100 people, but we want obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40For a chance of winning our jackpot, our players must score as few points as they can.
0:04:40 > 0:04:47Everyone's trying to score a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53Find one and we will add £250 to the jackpot. Now Guy and James won the jackpot last time,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58so today's jackpot starts off again at £1,000. There it is.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05OK, let's play Pointless.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27If you give me an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points, so try to avoid those.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Our first category is... Words.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, let's find out what the first question is.
0:05:43 > 0:05:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending in "dge"
0:05:51 > 0:05:57- as they could. Richard?- Any word in the Oxford English Dictionary that ends with the letters "dge".
0:05:57 > 0:06:01As always, no hyphenated words or proper nouns allowed.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05OK, thank you. Lee and Paul, you all drew lots before the show
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and you get to go first.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- So, Lee, "dge". - I'm going to go with quite a childish word.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm not sure if it is a word. Splodge.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Splodge. It's a good word, I think. Nothing childish about it. Splodge.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28Let's see if it's correct and how many of our 100 people said splodge.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's a good answer, Lee.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Teacher from Essex. Down it goes to one! Great answer!
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- Very, very well done indeed. Splodge. Richard?- Well done. You had to think of it very quickly.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52A large splash or stain. It's been around since 1854.
0:06:52 > 0:06:58- Good word for an economics teacher. I hope your students are watching. - They'll learn something.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- Literally, the first answer you give - splodge. - Very, very well done, Lee.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11So we come to you, Margie. What is the most obscure word ending with "dge" you can think of?
0:07:11 > 0:07:15This probably won't do too good. I've a feeling it's hyphenated.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- I'm going to say windowledge. - Windowledge.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26Let's see if it's correct and how many of our 100 people said windowledge.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Ohh! Bad luck, Margie.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I'm afraid that's incorrect and you score the maximum 100 points.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40- Damn those hyphens! Richard?- Yeah, sorry, Margie.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Occasionally hyphenated, more usually just two words - window ledge.- Bad luck.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Janet W, what's the most obscure word ending in "dge" you can think of?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Pledge.- Pledge.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59OK. Let's see if pledge is right and how many people said pledge.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:0817!
0:08:08 > 0:08:1117 for pledge.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Pledge, Richard.- A solemn promise. Other polishes are available.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24And Tara. Remember, we are looking for words that end in "dge".
0:08:24 > 0:08:30I'm hoping that this is like those annoying little flies. So I'll go for midge.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Midge. OK. Let's see if midge is right and how many people said it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Yes!- It's right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Very well done! Great answer, Tara.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Nine for midge. - Yeah, good answer there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55One of those tiny, annoying little gnat-like things. Midge Ure.
0:08:55 > 0:09:02- Know where he got his name from? - No.- His first name is Jim and he just reversed it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Seriously? Midge?- They just reversed his name. So you would be called...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09This will be hard!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Red...- Rednax.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Rednax? That IS what I call you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21- That's a great name. Why didn't people think of that? - Rednax?- Yeah!
0:09:21 > 0:09:28- I'll call you that for the rest of the show and, indeed, my life. - Whichever ends soonest.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Very good. Thank you so much.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores. Lee, what an answer! Splodge.
0:09:38 > 0:09:45In there, splodge - one point. Then we go up to nine. Great answer, midge, from Tara.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Then up to 17, Janet W, and then it's a long way up to Margie.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Eric, you have a mountain to climb, but I have every confidence in you.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:01 > 0:10:06OK, we are looking for words that end in "dge".
0:10:06 > 0:10:11And, Kelly, thanks to that brilliant answer from Tara, you are on nine.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16If you can score 90 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I'll go for sludge.- Sludge.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Sounds good to me. There is your red line.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27If you can get below that red line, you are through.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33Let's see if it's right and how many people said sludge. ..It's right! And you are through.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Six for sludge! That's a great answer. Takes your total up to 15.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Soft mud or half-melted snow. Sludge. Very well done. It's a good word, sludge, isn't it?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's a cracking word.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Janet G, we're still looking for words ending in "dge". You're on 17.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04The high scorers remain on 100. If you can score 82 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Trudge.- Trudge.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Trudge sounds very good to me. Here's your red line.
0:11:11 > 0:11:18If trudge gets you below that, you're through. Is it right and how many people said trudge?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's right and you're through.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Two for trudge!
0:11:28 > 0:11:33That's a great answer, Janet G. It takes your total up to 19.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Yeah, to walk with effort. The Janets on the march again.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42A disastrous walk is a trudgedy. A trudgedy.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Thank you.- It was worth a go. - Yeah, it's not bad. Very good.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Now, Eric, we're still looking for words ending in "dge".
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- You have to get a pointless answer. - I'm struggling to come up with one,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- so I'm going to have to go for... abridge.- Abridge.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Who's to say that won't be pointless? Great answer. No red line.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14You just have to hope it goes as low as it can. Is abridged right and how many people said it?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Look - two! A great answer.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I'm afraid it's not good enough, though.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33It takes you up to 102, just out of reach of Paul and Lee,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36even if they score 100 points.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42So, Paul and Lee, there you are. Safely through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- See if you can find a pointless answer.- I can think of plenty of words, but nothing obscure.
0:12:48 > 0:12:55- I'll go with porridge. - Let's see if it's right and how many people said porridge.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59No red line for you because you're already through.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's right.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Brilliant!
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Brilliant answer. Look at that. Scores you two. Takes your total up to three.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Very impressive indeed. Richard? - Very low score, very well played.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23There's a lot of pointless answers. Some very well-known words.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29You may well have got one at home. To begrudge, cartridge a pointless answer, as is drawbridge.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Fidge, which is how a child says fridge, is pointless.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40Kludge, a botched or makeshift device. To misjudge, a pointless answer.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Partridge is a pointless answer, squidge and wodge.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Let's have a look at the top answers that most people said.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Ledge, 57. We had window ledge.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Edge, 66. And one at the top. Hedge, 67.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Not so well done if you got those.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair, I'm afraid, are Eric and Margie.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09You did incredibly well. Abridged, Eric, was spot-on.
0:14:09 > 0:14:16- Window ledge, the right idea.- Yeah. - What are you going to take away as your enduring lesson
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- from your brief spell today? - Not to over-complicate things.
0:14:21 > 0:14:28We'll look forward to seeing you again next time, but thanks very much for playing - Eric and Margie.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:41 > 0:14:48There's only room for two pairs in the Head to Head, so one team will leave at the end of this round.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51The category for Round Two is...Famous People.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Can you all decide who will go first and who will go second?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07So our Round Two question this afternoon concerns...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Famous Christophers. Richard?
0:15:09 > 0:15:16We'll give you six clues on each pass, which will lead you to the name of a famous Christopher.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22A nice obscure answer will score fewer points. A wrong answer scores 100.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25So 12 Chris or Christophers to get.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Thank you very much. So we are looking for the names of these famous Christophers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- And we have got... - HE READS LIST
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'll read those all one more time.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12There are all your Chrises. Now then, Lee, what's the board like for you?
0:16:12 > 0:16:20I know three of those quite well. I'm trying to work out the most obscure. I think I know which one.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23That is Simply The Best, Chris Eubank.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Chris Eubank.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30OK, there we are. Let's see if that's right and how many knew it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Of course.
0:16:36 > 0:16:3831.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4131 for Chris Eubank.
0:16:42 > 0:16:49- Richard?- Former middleweight and super-middleweight champion of the world, Chris Eubank.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- What do you call a mass of Chrises?- The collective noun?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Let me think. - I was thinking of Chris mass.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- GROANS - Oh, that was a groan and a half.
0:17:02 > 0:17:09- That's all right. A Chris mass. - Well-deserved.- Janet G, we are looking for the surnames
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- of these famous Chrises. - I only know one on there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18The presenter of the Breakfast Show. Chris Evans.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Chris Evans. There's another Chris.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27OK, let's see if that's right and how many people said Chris Evans.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Oh!
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Bad luck, Janet G. Unfortunately, that's a wrong answer,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Bad luck, Janet. Tara...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- There's only two I know. - You can tell us both and then pick.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52There's Coldplay. That's Chris Martin. And I think his name is Chris Moyles for the radio show.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58I don't know which one to go for. I'll go for Coldplay. Christopher Martin. Chris Martin!
0:17:58 > 0:18:05Chris or Christopher Martin. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07It's right.
0:18:10 > 0:18:1244.
0:18:16 > 0:18:1844 for Chris Martin.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Better safe than sorry. Actually, the most popular answer.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28Let's look at all of them. It's not Chris Evans. It's Chris Moyles. There since 2004.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Chris Evans used to present it. Would have scored 37.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- 16th century dramatist?- Kit Marlowe. - That is Christopher Marlowe.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43That would have scored eight points. Director of Memento? He also directed Inception
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- and some of the Batman movies.- No. - Christopher Nolan.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53And the 1998 Turner Prize-winning painter is a pointless answer. It's Chris Ofili.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- Very well done if you said that or got all six.- Very good. Thanks for that, Richard.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05We're halfway through. Let's look at the scores. 31 is the lowest, Lee and Paul.
0:19:05 > 0:19:1044 for Tara and Kelly, then 100 for the Janets.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16It's not over, if Janet W can find a brilliant pointless answer on the next board.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26OK, we'll put six more Christophers on the board. Here they come.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- We have got... - HE READS LIST
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Let me read those one more time.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Now remember we are looking for the surnames of famous Christophers.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10You want the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Now, Kelly, you're on 44. If you can score 55 or less, you're through to the Head to Head.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22I know one definite, but I think it's high, so I'm going to guess - which will also be high.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- The winner of three cycling golds was Chris Hoy.- Chris Hoy.- I hope.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Sounds good to me. Is that right and how many people said it?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36There's your red line. Below that, you're through.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41And you are through!
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Ah!
0:20:44 > 0:20:4919. Very well done. Takes your total up to 63.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yes, safely through. Sir Chris Hoy. When he got his knighthood in 2009,
0:20:53 > 0:20:58his mum got an MBE on the same day for services to healthcare.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- That's nice. - His bike cost over £80,000.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- He had to have it as a combined birthday and Christmas. - LAUGHTER
0:21:08 > 0:21:14What would you call a load of Chrises? A loadachris. Ludicrous.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- Loadachris.- Ludicrous. Em...Janet W,
0:21:19 > 0:21:26we're still looking for the surnames of these famous Chrises. You are the high scorer on 100.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30What we want is a lovely low-scoring Chris.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33And that might get you through to the head-to-head.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Lady In Red singer, born Christopher Davison, Chris de Burgh.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Chris de Burgh.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It's right.
0:00:00 > 0:00:0049.
0:21:52 > 0:21:59It takes your total up to, I'm sorry to say, an unbeatable 149. Richard?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Chris de Burgh was born in Argentina and his daughter was Miss World.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, thank you very much.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Paul and Lee, you are on 31. The high scorers are Janet W and G.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake them,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19so you can take us through the board and pick your favourite answer.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25I really can't! I've got a couple of them on the tip of my tongue, but they're not coming to me.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I'll have to completely hazard a guess here
0:22:28 > 0:22:34and I'll take the Lib Dem Energy and Climate Change Secretary and jus make a name up - Chris Partridge.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It did so well in the first round(!)
0:22:37 > 0:22:40OK, Chris Partridge.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Chris Partridge.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Oh, bad luck.- Unbelievable(!)
0:22:48 > 0:22:53That's a wrong answer which scores you 100 points, taking your total up to 131,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02- Richard?- How great it would have been if that was right! As of the start of 2012, it's Chris Huhne.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Chris Huhne, MP, part of the Coalition Cabinet.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- The architect, designed the Royal Observatory?- Wren.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Would have scored 21 points. Star of The Deer Hunter?
0:23:13 > 0:23:19- Christopher Walken.- Would only have scored 5 points. That was the best answer on the board.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- And the author of Strike Back? - I do know this. It's Chris Ryan.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Would have scored 8 points. Well done if you got all the Chrises.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score is Janet W and Janet G.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I'm so sorry. Blooming Chris Moyles did that to you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- It was, wasn't it? - He's guilty of so much, that man.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- And I don't even like Chris Evans. - LAUGHTER
0:23:44 > 0:23:48But you've had some great moments. You've done incredibly well.
0:23:48 > 0:23:54- What will you be taking away as your enduring Pointless memory? - Meeting Alexander Armstrong.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Aw! Thank you very much indeed. I will settle up for that later.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06It's been lovely having you on the show. Wonderful contestants - Janet W and Janet G!
0:24:06 > 0:24:09APPLAUSE
0:24:10 > 0:24:16But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Congratulations, Tara, Kelly, Lee and Paul.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30You are now only one round away from the final and the chance to play for the jackpot
0:24:30 > 0:24:33which currently stands at £1,000.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36APPLAUSE
0:24:37 > 0:24:43Only one pair can play for that money and to decide who that is, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Each pair needs to answer just one of them. You are allowed to confer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56If you score less than the other pair, you win that question.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11OK, here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Richard?- You'll see five pictures of musical instruments.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Tell us what they are. The more obscure, the better.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal those five musical instruments and here they are.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43There you are, five musical instruments.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47All you have to do is name the most obscure one you can.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Tara and Kelly, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We might be making this up.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We're going to guess at E - harpsichord.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00E - harpsichord.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Now then, Lee and Paul. You can also have a shot at E if you like.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We've got a different view on E. It doesn't mean it's correct.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12We're going to say "accordion" for E.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Accordion. OK, you're both going for E.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18One is saying "a harpsichord",
0:26:18 > 0:26:21the other is saying "accordion".
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Tara and Kelly, is that right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Oh, bad luck.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Not a harpsichord.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Lee and Paul, you have gone for "accordion".
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said "accordion".
0:26:42 > 0:26:44No, not an accordion.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48After one question, it is still nil-nil.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Richard?- We should just do a whole show of "what is E".
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Do you know what it is?- A zither.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58It would have scored 11 points.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Let's look through the board and see how people at home did.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- "A" is a...- Harmonica.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Would have scored you 96 points.
0:27:06 > 0:27:1296 points, though still a better answer than harpsichord or accordion.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- B?- It's a tenor saxophone.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Saxophone, I would have given you. Well done for the extra knowledge.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Would have scored you 83 points.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- C is a...?- Trombone.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Another very, very big score - 60 points for a trombone.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- And D is a...?- Bassoon.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33You're good at these. Bassoon would have scored you 13 points.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37You could have said any of them and got the point.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41OK, here is your second question and it concerns...
0:27:43 > 0:27:49- Richard?- We'll show you five clues to facts about the River Thames or places along the river.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Just give us the most obscure fact that you can.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56OK, let's reveal our five facts about the River Thames.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I'll go through those one more time.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27Now, Lee and Paul, you get to go first this time.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31It's not a great round. We're not really happy with those options,
0:28:31 > 0:28:38but I think we're going to go with former Navy cruiser, now museum - the HMS Belfast.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40HMS Belfast, say Lee and Paul.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45- OK, Tara and Kelly... - That was the one we knew. - Oh, my hat! We know nothing.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- We don't know any of them. Shall we say "hills it rises"?- Yeah.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- We're going to go for Black Hills. - Black Hills? - Somewhere in Gloucestershire.
0:28:55 > 0:29:01The Black Hills in Gloucestershire? OK, so we have HMS Belfast and we have the Black Hills.
0:29:01 > 0:29:07Lee and Paul, HMS Belfast, let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Yes, it's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Very well done.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Our first right answer of the round.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28Tara and Kelly, you went for the Black Hills as the source of the Thames.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said the Black Hills.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Oh, dear. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40so after two questions, Lee and Paul are up 1-0. Richard?
0:29:40 > 0:29:43The Thames rises in the Cotswolds.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46It scored 6 points, so it would have been a very good answer.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- The Royal Regatta location?- Henley.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Yeah, it would have scored 49. It's the biggest answer on the board.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54The local name at Oxford?
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- Cherwell?- It's the Isis. It would have scored you 19 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05After the Cotswolds, a very good answer would be the village with two three-star Michelin restaurants.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Bray.- Absolutely. It's got The Waterside Inn
0:30:08 > 0:30:11and Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Thank you, Richard. Here is your third question and it concerns...
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Tara and Kelly, you have to win this question to stay in the game. Richard?
0:30:24 > 0:30:31We'll show you five sets of three words linked by one actress in films which had those words in the title.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33If I said Pretty, Erin, Sweetheart,
0:30:33 > 0:30:38the answer is Julia Roberts for Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich and America's Sweethearts.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Give us the most obscure answer you can find on the board.
0:30:42 > 0:30:48Thank you very much, Richard. Let's reveal those three-word clues to these actresses.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I'll read those all one more time.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17So there we are. Now, Tara and Kelly, you go first this time.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23- Shall we go with the second one? - Yeah.- We're going to go with Dolly/Funny/Were, Barbra Streisand.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Dolly/Funny/Were, Barbra Streisand.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Lee and Paul?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32We don't know any of these.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37I'll go for Swan/Boleyn/Vendetta... I'll say Holly Valance.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Swan/Boleyn/Vendetta, Holly Valance, you say.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Tara and Kelly went with Barbra Streisand first.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48It's right.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Very well done. 35. - APPLAUSE
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Lee and Paul have gone for Holly Valance.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Holly Valance.
0:32:08 > 0:32:14Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means after three questions, it is one-all.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20Yes. Swan/Boleyn/Vendetta, quite apart from being a very good name for a film,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24it's Black Swan, V For Vendetta and The Other Boleyn Girl -
0:32:24 > 0:32:28it was Natalie Portman. Would have scored you 6 points.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Barbra Streisand - Hello, Dolly, Funny Girl and The Way We Were.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38- Itch/Hot/Blondes?- Marilyn Monroe. - Seven Year Itch, Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
0:32:38 > 0:32:44- Sophie's/Vs/Lieutenant's?- Meryl Streep.- Sophie's Choice, Kramer Vs Kramer, French Lieutenant's Woman.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50- And Born/Wizard/Louis?- Judy Garland. - A Star Is Born, Wizard Of Oz and Meet Me In St Louis.
0:32:50 > 0:32:58There we are. So whoever wins this next question is through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Here comes your final question and it concerns...
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Richard?- We'll give you some clues to facts about Horatio Nelson.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- The most obscure fact will score fewest points and get you through to the final.- Thanks, Richard.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18So let's reveal our five facts about Horatio Nelson.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I'll read those all one more time.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51You are looking for the one that will score the fewest points, that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Lee and Paul, it is you to go first.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58I went to university at Portsmouth, so I hope this is right.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02The ship in the dry dock at Portsmouth - I'll say HMS Victory.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05HMS Victory. OK, Tara and Kelly?
0:34:05 > 0:34:13We're toying with the kissing one and the battle, but we're not sure which one we should guess.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Hardy?- Yeah.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18He wanted to kiss Hardy.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21OK. For fun, what did you think the battle was?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- Trafalgar.- Or Waterloo. We can't decide which one.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28OK, you're going to go with Hardy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32OK, so we have HMS Victory and we have Hardy.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37Lee and Paul, HMS Victory, is that right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40It's correct.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4436.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Tara and Kelly have gone for Hardy.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Hardy.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's right.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0548.
0:35:05 > 0:35:1148 plays 36, which means after four questions, we finally have a winner in the head-to-head round
0:35:11 > 0:35:15and it is Lee and Paul, 2-1. Richard?
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Yeah, we got there and two right answers.- Yeah!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Let's look through the rest of the board. Lost most of which limb?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Arm.- Yeah, would have scored 62 points. Very big score.
0:35:27 > 0:35:34The battle during which he died was Trafalgar, but scored 40 points, so it wouldn't have seen you through.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38This answer only scored 3 points. Buried in which place of worship?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40St Paul's, not Westminster Abbey.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Yes, St Paul's Cathedral. Very well done if you got all of those.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Very well done if you got every answer in that round.
0:35:47 > 0:35:54OK, so the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Kelly and Tara. That was a tough round for you.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00- Yeah.- Harpsichord and those mysterious Black Hills didn't do you any favours at all.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06You've done very well to get to the head-to-head, but we will have to see you next time.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09This is as far as you go on this episode.
0:36:09 > 0:36:15We'll see you next time when maybe you'll go even further. Thank you for playing, Tara and Kelly!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17APPLAUSE
0:36:19 > 0:36:23But for Lee and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Congratulations, Lee and Paul. You've fought off the competition
0:36:32 > 0:36:36and won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49the jackpot stands still at £1,000.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51APPLAUSE
0:36:51 > 0:36:56The rules are simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:56 > 0:37:02We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only have to find one now and you take that money home.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08First, you've got to choose a category and you can now choose from five options.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- What do you think? - The first three we're looking at.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Pop Music might be earlier than our era.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25British Boxers, we know a few, but not loads.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30- Populations, you might know some. I think we might go for Pop Music. - Go on then.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- We'll hit Pop Music. - Pop Music, it is.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:37 > 0:37:44to name as many Take That UK top 40 solo singles as they could. Richard?
0:37:44 > 0:37:51Yeah, any UK top 40 single by any of the five members of Take That while Take That were in hiatus.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54That's between 1996 and 2006,
0:37:54 > 0:38:01so any UK top 40 hit from Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:05 > 0:38:11All you need to win that £1,000 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14OK, your minute starts now.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- I've got Mark Owen, I've got Clementine.- OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23I've got either Two Minute Warning or Two Minutes Left To Go? I can't remember what it's called.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29All I can do is the obvious Robbie Williams ones, so they're no good.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Two Minute Warning. Can we remember any of Barlow's?
0:38:32 > 0:38:39- No, not really.- Right. We could go with Robbie Williams' Freedom cos that was an early one.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- What did you say?- Clementine. - Clementine.- And there was Two Minutes Left To Go.
0:38:44 > 0:38:50- Clementine.- Clementine. - And Two Minutes Left To Go or Two Minute Warning.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Are you sure that's definitely...?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- The Mark Owen ones, yeah.- You don't know the name of that other one?
0:38:57 > 0:39:04- It's one of those...- Two Minute Warning.- Definitely?- I'm not 100%, but I'll say Two Minute Warning.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Ten seconds left.- Then we'll say Freedom by Robbie Williams?- Yeah.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Or Lazy... Lazy Days by Robbie Williams.- All right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Lazy Days.- OK, your time is up.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I now need your three answers.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- We've got Lazy Days by Robbie Williams.- Lazy Days.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- We've got Clementine by Mark Owen. - Clementine.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31And we have got Two Minute Warning which I think was by Mark Owen. I'm not 100% about that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Two Minute Warning by Mark Owen.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:37 > 0:39:42- I think Clementine by Mark Owen. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- Which is your least likely? - I'd say Two Minute Warning cos I'm not sure it's called that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51OK, we'll put that first. Two Minute Warning, Lazy Days, Clementine.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56Let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03OK, so we were looking for UK top 40 hit singles
0:40:03 > 0:40:07by members of Take That, solo singles.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13Two Minute Warning was your least confident answer. You weren't sure if it was a correct name.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18You only have to find one pointless answer to win £1,000, so let's see if Two Minute Warning is right
0:40:18 > 0:40:22and if it is, let's see how far down the column it goes. Good luck.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Oh!
0:40:27 > 0:40:32OK, we don't need that one. You've got your other two.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Two Minute Warning is not pointless or correct.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- What would you do with 1,000 quid? - Probably go out tonight!- Yeah.
0:40:43 > 0:40:50- We'll get some clothes and something for your house.- I've just bought a new house, so something for that.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55We were looking for UK top 40 solo singles by members of Take That.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Let's hope nobody said your next answer which is Lazy Days.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01This has to be correct and pointless.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05If it is, you'll be leaving here with £1,000.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Lazy Days.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12It's right.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Two Minute Warning was incorrect, but Lazy Days is correct.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21If this goes all the way down to nothing, you'll be leaving here with £1,000.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Single figures... You've done it!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:30You've done it. Very well done. Excellent. Very well done indeed.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- A big night out for you! - Yeah. Well done, mate. Superb!
0:41:35 > 0:41:40- Excellent. - Who would have thought that? - Well, many, many congratulations.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Lazy Days was a pointless answer which means you go home with £1,000. Richard?
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- What about that?- Very well done. A top ten hit for Robbie, Lazy Days.
0:41:49 > 0:41:55A huge amount of his top ten hits were pointless - Misunderstood, Sexed Up, Advertising Space,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Lovelight, Something Beautiful, all of those were pointless.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Clementine, the Mark Owen hit, wasn't pointless.
0:42:02 > 0:42:09It would have scored you 1 point. Lazy Days was a great answer. Let's look at more pointless answers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Alone Without You was a Mark Owen solo single.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Antmusic was a double-A side with No Regrets, the Robbie single.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18For All That You Want was Gary.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23I Am What I Am was another Mark song, Makin' Out, also Mark.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29Radio, a No.1 hit for Robbie, pointless as well. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:29 > 0:42:36Thanks once again to our winning players, Lee and Paul, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- APPLAUSE - Very well done.
