0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:33where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:42Now welcome Mark and Sam. You are our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This is my son, so I've known him for all his life.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- And where have you come from, Mark? - Glasgow.- And what do you do there?
0:00:50 > 0:00:56- I'm a civil servant. - And how about you, Sam? - I'm retired.- Very good.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02- Any hobbies? - Yes, I like sport - golf, cricket, football. Some politics.
0:01:02 > 0:01:09- Scottish politics, which is going to be interesting the next couple of years.- It certainly is. Mark?
0:01:09 > 0:01:15- What do you like to do?- Playing football and watching it.I've got a season ticket for St Mirren.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Excellent. So sport would be great for the pair of you. Best of luck.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Next we welcome back Kitty and Gemma. You were on last time.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Remind us what happened.
0:01:30 > 0:01:37- We actually got to the Head to Head. No, we didn't. We went out in the first round.- You did.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43- European countries not members of the EU. Romania...- Romania. - ..as we now know
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- is a member. - I won't be "romaning" here.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50LAUGHTER Sorry, Richard.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54That's OK. That's all right.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Nice to be apologised to occasionally, though.- Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- What's the apology for?- Cos... This is going to sound really bad,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06but you're normally with the bad jokes. LAUGHTER
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Wow.- There's some truth in that. - Gives with one hand, takes with the other.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Kitty, what would you love to see? - Nothing, really.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- A technical error would be quite nice!- A technical error!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25No one's said, "Nothing," before.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- I'll just stand here and watch. - OK...
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Well, very best of luck. Let's hope we see lots more of you this time.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41Next we welcome back Heather and Matthew, who were on last time. Remind us how you know each other.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- We went to school together. - Matthew, what happened last time?
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- We got to the Head to Head. - You actually really did.- We did.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- What would be great for you, Matthew?- Oh, film, TV.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Are you interested in film as well? - I usually go with Huggy.- Huggy?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06Hang on. Why does it say Matthew on your badge? Huggy. From now on Huggy.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- I like a man named after a nappy. - LAUGHTER
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- It's after my surname! - I'm sure it is. Yeah, yeah.
0:03:15 > 0:03:22Well, listen, it's great to have you back. We expect great things today.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28Next we welcome back Tim and Tom, who were also on last time. Remind us how you know each other.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- Go on.- We used to work together. Tim recently left, but we worked for the Amateur Swimming Association.
0:03:34 > 0:03:41- How did you do last time? - We got to the second round and crashed with a big score of 200.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47- So what's good for you, Tim? - Again I think football and TV and films are quite strong.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Tom, how about you? - Em, sport again. Geography.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57I think there's more that I'm looking to avoid than to come up.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Go on. Give us a few things.
0:03:59 > 0:04:06- Literature.- Right.- Art.- Right. - History.- Yeah.- Anything to do with the Periodic Table.- OK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Science in general, to be honest. - OK. Science in general.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Fingers crossed they don't come up. Very best of luck. You were unlucky last time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Let's hope we see more of you today. We'll find out more later.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27Only one person left. He was to be Q in the next Bond film, but they wouldn't let him do his own stunts
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- which is why he's here instead. He's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Hiya.
0:04:37 > 0:04:44- How are you today?- Very well, thank you.- Quite a familiar roster. We've got three returning pairs.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Tom, if you like sport and geography, Round One is for you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Very good indeed.- That's cryptic.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Look at Kitty and Gemma! Sport and geography!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Thanks very much, Richard.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05All our questions have been put to 100 people, but we want obscure answers that they couldn't get.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11For a chance to win our jackpot, our players must score as few points as they can.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23When that happens, we add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time, so we add £1,000
0:05:23 > 0:05:27and today's jackpot starts off at £9,000!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36OK, let's play Pointless.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46OK, in this first round each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52Whichever pair has the highest score at the end will be eliminated. An incorrect answer scores 100 points
0:05:52 > 0:06:00so try to avoid those if you can. OK, our first category this afternoon is...tennis.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Can you all decide who's going to go first and who goes second?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:10 > 0:06:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many locations of the 2012 ATP World Tour
0:06:17 > 0:06:24as they could. Locations of the 2012 ATP World Tour. Richard?
0:06:24 > 0:06:31Yeah, any town or city that has hosted or will host an event on the ATP tennis tour,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35so there's all the big men's tennis tournaments in the world this year.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39We're not accepting the Davis Cup. Just ATP Tour events.
0:06:39 > 0:06:46- So, Gemma if you were going to give us a series of Davis Cup cities, you can't now.- I'm going.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52Thanks, Richard. Now, Mark and Sam, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56A bit of geography and a bit of sport.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- I think I'll play it safe and say Melbourne.- Melbourne.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Let's see if that's right and how many people said Melbourne.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's right!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Not a bad score. Down it goes! 10!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Very well done, Mark. 10 for Melbourne.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27Yes, a lot of pointless answers, but a very good start, Mark. Home of the Australian Open.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Kitty,
0:07:32 > 0:07:37we are looking for towns and cities that have hosted or will host
0:07:37 > 0:07:41the ATP tennis tour, 2012.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Em, London. Just got to plump for something that's obvious and hope that's not wrong.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Let's see if London is right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:0043.
0:08:04 > 0:08:11- 43 for London.- Safe answer, Kitty. You have Queen's and Wimbledon and the ATP World Tour finals.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Thank you. Now then, Heather. Is this good for you?- No.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Em...
0:08:17 > 0:08:23I'm just thinking places now. I'm going to go with... Johannesburg?
0:08:23 > 0:08:30Johannesburg. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Johannesburg.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh! Bad luck, Heather.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer which means you score 100 points.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It may not be the last 100 points, though, in this round.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Now then, Tom, we are looking for towns or cities that have hosted
0:08:48 > 0:08:51or will host the ATP World Tour 2012.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- I think I'll play it safe and go with Paris.- OK.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Let's see if it's right and how many people said Paris.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It is right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:0731.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13A perfectly good score. Paris, Richard.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Hosts of the ATP World Tour Masters and the French Open.- OK.
0:09:17 > 0:09:24We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores. Mark and Sam, the best score.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26A lovely low score of 10.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Up to 31 where we find Tom and Tim.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And then up to 43 where we find Kitty and Gemma.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And then I'm afraid up to 100 where Heather and Huggy are to be found.
0:09:37 > 0:09:44So yes, Huggy, we want a nice low score from you to ensure you make it to the next round and beyond.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Now then, Tim, Matthew and Heather are on 100.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00You're on 31, which means a score of 68 will see you through to the next round.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06- Is this a good question for you? - Not bad. Tom could have done better. - I think he might have done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:14- I was hoping for a pointless answer, but there we are.- I've got two in mind. One's more of a gamble.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Go on, Tim.- I'd I'm on this show, I should really gamble.- Go on.
0:10:18 > 0:10:25- I'm actually very confident that Rotterdam is an ATP Tour event. - Lovely.- I think Henman won it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Here comes your red line. Nice and high. Get below that
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and you are through. How many said Rotterdam? Maybe it's pointless.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41You're through to the next round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46And where will it stop? YES!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Very well done!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Tim, that's a fabulous answer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57It's pointless, it adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes it to £9,250.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 31. Very well done.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Well done, Tim. Long established event. It's been there since 1974.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Very well done. Now, Matthew. This is what we need from you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Do you follow tennis?- Not at all.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19I'll have to go with Rome. I have no idea. I'm just guessing.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Matthew, no red line for you. You're the high scorers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's see if Rome is right and how many people said Rome.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's right!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Very well done, Matthew. Down it goes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38A superb score there.
0:11:38 > 0:11:426 points for Rome takes your total up to 106.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- Richard?- Well done, Matthew. You've given yourself a chance.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- There's an event in Rome every year. - Thank you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Now then, Gemma...- Yes. - You are on 43.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59The high scorers on 106 are Matthew and Heather, so score 62 or less
0:11:59 > 0:12:04and you are through to the next round. Do you know anything about tennis?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Arthur Ashe.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13Somebody told me it's something to do with tennis. But it's no good for this.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- So, em, I'm going to say Madrid and hope for t'best.- Let's see.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Is Madrid right and how many people said Madrid?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Yes, it's right!- YES!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32And you are through to the next round. Very well done, Gemma.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Seven! It's a great answer. Takes your total up to a lovely round 50.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46- Madrid, Richard.- Well done, Gemma. An exemplary example of how to play Name A City there.
0:12:46 > 0:12:54In 2011, the winner of the Madrid tournament was Arthur Ashe. It wasn't. It was Novak Djokovic.
0:12:54 > 0:13:01Yes, indeed. Thank you. Now, Sam and Mark. You are on 10. The high scorers remain on 106.
0:13:01 > 0:13:0795 or less will be enough to see you through. Towns or cities that have hosted
0:13:07 > 0:13:11or will host the ATP 2012 World Tour.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Sam, I think you've got a few good answers up your sleeve.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21I'm not sure about this one, but I seem to remember they had a tournament in this place
0:13:21 > 0:13:24a year or so ago. I'll say Hamburg.
0:13:24 > 0:13:31There's your red line. If Rotterdam was pointless, I see no reason why Hamburg shouldn't be.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Is it right? How many said it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's right.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Now come on, Hamburg.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45See if we can get 250 quid added to the jackpot... Yes! Very well done, Sam.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50That's a great score. A pointless answer adds £250 to the jackpot
0:13:50 > 0:13:54and takes the total up to £9,500.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 10.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05- Very well played, Sam. Welcome to Pointless. Gilles Simon of France won it last year.- Oh.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Gilles Simon.- Gilles Simon. - We don't hear enough of him.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Let's look at some pointless answers. There's plenty here.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20Atlanta, won by Mardy Fish last year. Bangkok, Barcelona, almost always won by Spaniards.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26Buenos Aires, Chennai, Eastbourne, of course. People might have got that one.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32Indian Wells, Kuala Lumpur and St Petersburg, where Andy Murray has done well.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Lots of other pointless answers.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Let's look at the top answers that most people said.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43New York would have scored 15, where the Arthur Ashe Stadium is.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Paris, 31, and London was the top answer of all on 43.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'm so sorry... Huggy!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Huggy and Heather.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- But Heather...- I let the side down.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07- Bad luck, but tennis has seen you off.- Never mind. - It's been lovely having you.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Matthew and Heather, thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:22 > 0:15:30Obviously there's only room for two pairs in the Head to Head, so one team leaves after this round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Our category for Round Two is... film awards.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41Can you all decide who is going to go first and who goes second?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:15:46 > 0:15:54OK, so our Round Two question concerns...real people at the Oscars.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Real people at the Oscars, Richard. What?!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59It's simpler than it sounds.
0:15:59 > 0:16:06We'll give you a list of six people on each pass. Tell us the name of an actor or actress who won an Oscar
0:16:06 > 0:16:12for playing that person. Tell us who won an Oscar for playing that person.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18A nice, obscure answer, fewer points. A wrong answer is 100. 12 in all to have a go at.
0:16:18 > 0:16:25Thank you very much, Richard. So we are looking for the actors who played these people and won Oscars.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And we have...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29HE READS THE LIST
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I will read those all one more time.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- It all makes sense now.- You see?
0:16:48 > 0:16:54- Real people.- That's easier than ATP tennis tour venues. - Isn't it?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Everyone can relax now a little bit. - Mark, we come to you first.
0:16:58 > 0:17:05- There's a few I know, but I'll go for Harvey Milk played by Sean Penn. - Harvey Milk, Sean Penn.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11Is it right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer? Harvey Milk, Sean Penn.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Very well done.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's a great score. Look at that.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Nine.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Nine for Harvey Milk.- Good answer, Mark. Best Actor in 2009.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Indeed. Thank you. Kitty?
0:17:33 > 0:17:40There's only one possible answer for me and that's Julia Roberts, Erin Brockovich.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Yep.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Oh! Ya-ho.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- 62.- That's a result!
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- Well, it's right. It's a punishing high score.- But better than 100.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08She won for Best Actress in 2001. And Erin Brockovich herself plays a waitress in a diner in the film.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- That's good.- Nice.- It is nice.
0:18:10 > 0:18:17Tim, remember we are looking for the actors who won Oscars for playing these real-life people.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21You did say films. I heard you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26There's your board. Fill in the gaps and pick the one you want to submit.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30OK, I knew the two that have gone. I think I know the Ray Charles answer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:37I was trying to think who June Carter Cash was. It must be Johnny Cash's wife, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm not going to gamble. Idi Amin, I'll go for that one.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And that is Forest Whitaker.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Is it right? How many said Forest Whitaker?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Nine!
0:19:00 > 0:19:06You equal Mark's score for Harvey Milk there. Forest Whitaker, great score.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Well done, Tim. He won the 2007 Best Actor Oscar as the Ugandan dictator.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Idi Amin himself plays a waitress in a diner halfway through the film.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- On rollerblades. - A rollerblading waitress.- Good.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- Let's look through the rest. Do you know Ray Charles?- Jamie Foxx.
0:19:24 > 0:19:31That would have scored you 21. June Carter Cash, Johnny's wife, played by Reese Witherspoon.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3310 points. Edith Piaf?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yes...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- No. - LAUGHTER
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- Marion...- Cotillard! - Absolutely right. One point. Very well done if you got them all.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Thank you. Now let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Mark and Sam and Tim and Tom are on nine.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Lovely low scores there.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Then we go up quite a way to Kitty and Gemma on 62.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- Gemma...- I'm not happy. I knew four. - You know what you have to do.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- You've got to find the lowest possible scoring name there. - Not going to happen.- It is.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:16 > 0:20:23OK, we're going to put six more people on the board. Real people played by actors who won Oscars.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- And here we have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I will read them all one more time.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52We are looking for the actor or actress who won Oscars for playing these parts.
0:20:52 > 0:20:59You want the one the fewest people knew. Tom, you're on nine. The high scorers are on 62.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0152 or less ensures you a place.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Em...I'm going to go for Queen Elizabeth II,
0:21:06 > 0:21:11but I've got two people in my head. I get these two women mixed up.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17It depends which one I go for. The woman I'm going to go for is Helen Mirren.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Helen Mirren you are saying. OK. Here's your red line.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Helen Mirren. If she gets you below that red line, you are through.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It is right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38And you are through to the next round. Just!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- APPLAUSE - 45.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46- It takes your total up to 54. Richard?- Yes, she won the Best Actress Oscar in 2007.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52- Tom, who was the other person you were thinking of?- Dame Judi Dench. I get those two confused.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I think Helen Mirren won't be too upset.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00No, quite. And Judi Dench won an Oscar for playing Elizabeth I.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Of course. - In Shakespeare In Love.- OK.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Thanks, Tom. Now then, Gemma,
0:22:04 > 0:22:09we are looking for the actors who won Oscars for playing these real people.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Well, I know two, probably the most obvious two.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I've got to take a slight risk and I don't know if it's even correct.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I said I knew it, but I don't know if it's correct.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'll say Virginia Woolf and Nicole Kidman.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29There's Virginia Woolf. You're saying Nicole Kidman. You are the high scorers on 62.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35This has to go down a long way. Virginia Woolf, Nicole Kidman - is it right, how many people said it?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Yes!- It is right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41SHE MUTTERS EXCITEDLY
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Down it goes. Very, very well done.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- 9, that's a great answer. - APPLAUSE
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- 9 for Nicole Kidman. It takes your total up to 71.- Good answer, Gemma.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00- You've given yourself a chance. In The Hours, she won the Oscar in 2003.- Yeah.- Now we have a game on.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Sam, you are on 9. The high scorers are Gemma and Kitty on 71.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- How is this board looking to you? - Not too good, I'm afraid.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I don't know the first two at all.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15But I think being an Indian, I have to go for Mahatma Gandhi.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19And I think that was played by Ben Kingsley.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I don't know if we will penalise you for not saying SIR Ben Kingsley. I know he will.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Your target is 61, though.
0:23:26 > 0:23:2961 looks like this.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31There is your red line.
0:23:31 > 0:23:38Sir Ben Kingsley, is that right, and if it is, how many people said Ben Kingsley?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It's right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Oh, you've done it.- Oh!
0:23:45 > 0:23:4730.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49APPLAUSE
0:23:49 > 0:23:5130 takes your total up to 39.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57Yes, some very good father and son work there. 1983, he won his Best Actor Oscar.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59A surprisingly low score.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It is. Perhaps it's a long time ago, people have maybe forgotten.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Born Krishna Bhanji, Ben Kingsley, that's his name.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I didn't know that. I had no idea.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Jake La Motta, do you know that...? Raging Bull.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Oh, it's Raging Bull.- Robert De Niro. Would have scored 17 points.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Katharine Hepburn?- Cate Blanchett. - In The Aviator, yeah. One point.
0:24:23 > 0:24:30But she's the only person to win an Oscar playing someone who's won an Oscar. Well done if you got that.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- And Antonio Salieri is a pointless answer.- From Amadeus. - Yeah.- I have no idea who played him.
0:24:35 > 0:24:43It's F Murray Abraham. Very well done if you got that. Very well done if you got all 12 of them.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round 2, the losing pair with the highest score is Kitty and Gemma.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, dear. It's not a bad score, 71.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56No, we have to take comfort in the fact there were no wrong answers
0:24:56 > 0:25:02- Virginia Woolf was a cracking answer.- Thank you.- Erin Brockovich was good, but a very high score.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It was the only one I knew.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10It was very well chosen, better than 100. Round 1 last time, a whole lot better this time with Round 2.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Sadly, this is where we have to say goodbye. Gemma and Kitty, you've been brilliant contestants.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Thank you so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:25:19 > 0:25:25But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36Congratulations, Mark and Sam, Tim and Tom. You are only one round away from the final
0:25:36 > 0:25:42and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £9,500.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44APPLAUSE
0:25:45 > 0:25:52Only one pair can play for that money and you now go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:25:52 > 0:25:59The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot and you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:09OK, here comes your first question
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and it concerns...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Types Of Pasta - very popular amongst our crowd.
0:26:15 > 0:26:22- They're starving.- We don't get many murmurs like that.- It's nearly teatime.- That'll be why, yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25We've done things like types of lettuce,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30but in this one, we'll show you five pictures of types of pasta available in the UK.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Can you give us the name by which they are known?- Excellent.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So here are five pictures of pasta. And we have...
0:26:51 > 0:26:55So there you are, five types of pasta.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Mark and Sam, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01WHISPERING
0:27:05 > 0:27:09We're going to play safe and go for "A" being lasagne.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13"A", lasagne. "A" is lasagne, according to Mark and Sam.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Tim and Tom?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- That's a safer bet. - Yeah, I think "E".
0:27:18 > 0:27:21We're going to go for "E" and penne.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Penne, say Tim and Tom. We have Mark and Sam saying "A", lasagne,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and Tim and Tom saying "E", penne.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34Mark and Sam, lasagne for "A". Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said lasagne.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's good.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's a high score - 81.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41APPLAUSE
0:27:44 > 0:27:48A very popular pasta there. Tim and Tom have gone for "E", penne.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said penne.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It's right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- 67. - APPLAUSE
0:28:01 > 0:28:0767, which beats lasagne, which means after one question, Tim and Tom are up 1-0.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- Richard?- Yes, the two biggest answers on the board.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Let's take a look at the rest. B is farfalle.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18That scored 14 points, from "farfalla", Italian for "butterfly".
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Now, C is orzo which is Italian for "barley",
0:28:21 > 0:28:25pasta shaped like rice or barley. Would have scored 2 points.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And D is orecchiette.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Orecchiette for 3 points, which is Italian for "small ear".
0:28:32 > 0:28:38- Very well done if you're eating any of those at home. That would be nice.- Wouldn't that be good?
0:28:38 > 0:28:44- Imagine if your mum's just made some orecchiette and you've got an awesome answer.- Brilliant!
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I'm almost willing to bet money no-one has eaten orzo.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- There might be.- I bet no-one sends us a picture of a bowl of orzo.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55It would be nice if they did.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57But they wo-on't.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- They mi-ight. - I don't think they wi-ill.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- LAUGHTER - Let's do question two-oo.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09Here it comes, the second question. Mark and Sam, you know what you have to do to stay in the game.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Our second question concerns...
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Richard?- We'll show you the title of five Tennessee Williams plays,
0:29:17 > 0:29:22but we've missed out the second word on each title. Tell us what that word is.
0:29:22 > 0:29:29OK, let's reveal our five Tennessee Williams plays with missing words, and they are...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I'll read them all one more time.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Now, Tim and Tom, you go first this time.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Do you not know any? - I don't know any.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- I don't know whether that's correct. - Just go for it.- OK.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05We're going to go for A Streetcar Named Desire.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08OK, you're going to say A Streetcar Named Desire.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Mark and Sam, what will you say?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14We're going to go for The Night Of The Iguana.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The Night Of The Iguana.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22OK, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Night Of The Iguana.
0:30:22 > 0:30:28OK, Tim and Tom, A Streetcar Named Desire, is it right, how many people said it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's right.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- 72. - APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Mark and Sam are going for The Night Of The Iguana.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54And you've done it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- 29. Very, very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:31:01 > 0:31:08That did what it needed to. Very well done. You are drawn one-all after two questions. Richard?
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Well played, Sam and Mark. Let's look at the rest of the answers.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16It's The Glass Menagerie. That would have scored you 23.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Do you know The "Blank" Tattoo? - Rose?- Absolutely right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Would have scored you 11 points.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27And the best answer is Vieux Carre, another name for the French Quarter in New Orleans.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Would have scored 2 points. Well done if you got all five.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Thank you very much. Here comes your third question.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39This will decide who goes through to the final to play for that jackpot of £9,500.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42OK, here it comes. It concerns...
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- Band Aid, Richard?- For this decider we'll show you five clues to facts about Band Aid.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54- Which is the most obscure? Best of luck.- Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Band Aid.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56And we have got...
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I'll read those all one more time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33So there you are, five facts about Band Aid.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36And Mark and Sam, you go first this time.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39WHISPERING
0:32:39 > 0:32:42We'll go for the BBC journalist, Michael Buerk.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Michael Buerk, the BBC journalist, say Mark and Sam.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Tim and Tom, you can think out loud now.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55I'm not entirely sure on the country that it's filmed in. I knew Michael Buerk.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00I think the co-writer of the song is Midge Ure - U-R-E.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05- Yeah, I've heard of Midge Ure. - We'll go with that, shall we?- Yeah.
0:33:05 > 0:33:12We're going to go for the co-writer of the song with Bob Geldof and our answer is Midge Ure - U-R-E.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Midge Ure, you are saying, the co-writer of the song.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22So we have Michael Buerk, the BBC journalist who made the report that set the project in motion.
0:33:22 > 0:33:29Mark and Sam have said Michael Buerk. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It's right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Oh, 8! - APPLAUSE
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Wow!
0:33:44 > 0:33:498 people said Michael Buerk. Midge Ure, the co-writer of the song with Bob Geldof.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. Will you beat 8?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- It's right.- Come on, come on.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Come on, come on.
0:34:00 > 0:34:0232.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03APPLAUSE
0:34:07 > 0:34:13It's a good answer, but it doesn't beat Michael Buerk from Sam and Mark,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16which means Mark and Sam are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- Richard?- Well played, Mark and Sam. Only one answer would have beaten you.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Michael Buerk's report was from Ethiopia.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27That would have scored you 28 points.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31The name of the song recorded is Do They Know It's Christmas?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35It scored 40 points. That kept Last Christmas by Wham off No.1.
0:34:35 > 0:34:42Last Christmas is the biggest selling single in history not to be No.1. It sold 1.4 million copies.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- And only occupied the No.2 slot. - Yeah, there you go.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48The producer who gave his studio free of charge,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52he couldn't produce it, but he said, "Have my studio,"
0:34:52 > 0:34:56and it's Trevor Horn. 2 points. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:56 > 0:35:03Thank you very much. The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Tim and Tom.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07It's been a valiant campaign throughout two Pointlesses.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12You've made a fantastic account of yourselves, but you came up against Mark and Sam
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- who are just too good on their pointless knowledge. - Yeah, very good.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Tim and Tom, you've been fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing. - Thank you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28But for Mark and Sam, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:32 > 0:35:40Congratulations, Mark and Sam. You have seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53the jackpot stands at £9,500.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE
0:35:57 > 0:36:03The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07We've had two pointless answers today. One of them was yours, Sam.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12You only need to find one more now and you go home with £9,500. First, choose a category.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15You can choose from these five options.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Football Managers?- I think we'll go for Football Managers.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We'll go for Football Managers.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- Football Managers. Any particular area you would like...?- Scottish. - Yes, St Mirren managers.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39St Mirren, OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:41 > 0:36:46to name as many Tottenham Hotspur managers as they could.
0:36:46 > 0:36:53- Richard?- We're looking for anyone who's been the permanent manager of Tottenham Hotspur since 1961.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58Anyone who was head coach, but was seen as manager, also accepted.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03We won't accept caretaker managers or anyone not on the Tottenham Hotspur website.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06You have one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:06 > 0:37:11and all you need to win that £9,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Are you ready?- Yeah. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20The first one was Bill Nicholson.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- More recently, there's Christian Gross who was Swiss.- OK.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30- There was a Spanish guy, Juande Ramos. He won't get many points.- OK.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Any others you can get from the '60s or '70s?
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- After Bill Nicholson, there was... - Keith Burkinshaw.- Burkinshaw.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- We can go for Keith Burkinshaw. - Right, one.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- There's Juande Ramos, two. And Christian Gross. - We'll go for those three?- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52You've picked your three. We'll stop the clock. Nearly half a minute left on it,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55but you're confident with your three choices.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00We're looking for Tottenham Hotspur managers. I need your three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- OK, first one, Keith Burkinshaw. - Keith Burkinshaw.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Second one, Juande Ramos. - Juande Ramos.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- And third one, Christian Gross. - Of those three, which is your best punt at a pointless answer?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Christian Gross.- We'll put him last.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Your least likely pointless answer?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Burkinshaw. - We'll put Burkinshaw first.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26We'll put them up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:38:31 > 0:38:35We were looking for Tottenham Hotspur managers.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £9,500.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Keith Burkinshaw.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Is it right, how many people said it? This for 9,500 quid...
0:38:49 > 0:38:51It's right.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:38:54 > 0:38:58you will be leaving here immediately with £9,500 in your back pockets.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Down it goes. Still going down...
0:39:01 > 0:39:032! Whoa-oa!
0:39:03 > 0:39:05APPLAUSE
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- 2!- Brilliant.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10OK, unfortunately, that is not a pointless answer.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13You have two more chances to win the jackpot.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17What would you do with £9,500, Mark?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21My sister lives in Thailand, so I might go and visit her.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Or if Scotland qualify for the next World Cup in Brazil, I think I would go to that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28The first one's more likely!
0:39:28 > 0:39:33- What about you, Sam? - Yeah, my daughter's in Thailand, so I'd like to visit her.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- A family trip.- She's working there. - That would be lovely.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Very good indeed. We are looking for Tottenham Hotspur managers.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Juande Ramos.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48This has to be pointless if you're to win that jackpot of £9,500.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53Is it right and if it is, how many of our 100 said Juande Ramos?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57OK, it's right.
0:39:57 > 0:40:03Your first answer, your least likely shot at the Pointless jackpot went down to 2,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Keith Burkinshaw down to 2.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Juande Ramos into single figures. If this goes all the way down...
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- It doesn't. - APPLAUSE
0:40:13 > 0:40:19- We might get Christian Gross. - OK, Ramos hasn't done it for you.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25Your third answer, Christian Gross, you were pretty confident he was your best shot.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Yeah, he didn't last very long.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33- You stopped the clock pretty quickly.- I don't think we could have remembered any more.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36OK, Christian Gross, everything is riding on him.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41To win that jackpot of £9,500, this has to be pointless. Let's find out.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Christian Gross, is it right, is it a pointless answer?
0:40:45 > 0:40:50Can Mark and Sam leave here with £9,500? Christian Gross...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Well, it's right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Keith Burkinshaw took you down to 2, Juande Ramos took you down to 3.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05If Christian Gross can get you down to nothing, you leave here with £9,500. Down it goes...
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- No! - APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- Two people.- Two Spurs fans. - Two Spurs fans.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:24so you don't win today's jackpot of £9,500,
0:41:24 > 0:41:26which rolls over to the next show,
0:41:26 > 0:41:33- but you have been fantastic contestants and you get to take home our Pointless trophy.- Thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Bad, bad luck. Richard?
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Well played, guys. Burkinshaw was manager for about eight years, won the FA Cup.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46The other two, very short-lived foreign managers.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51There's a shorter-lived foreign manager on this list of pointless answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Doug Livermore took over for the '92-'93 season,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Peter Shreeves had two spells in charge of Spurs.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Jacques Santini left after 13 games. Martin Jol took over after him.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08Tottenham had three managers in 25 years. One was Bill Nicholson, another, Keith Burkinshaw.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12And in between them was this man, Terry Neill -
0:42:12 > 0:42:16'74 to '76. Unlucky, guys. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Sam, you knew a few of those.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25- Terry Neill you knew, anyway. - I knew Terry Neill, but I couldn't remember the name.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Bad luck. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Mark and Sam.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36APPLAUSE
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Mark and Sam didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:42:40 > 0:42:45which means on the next show we are playing for £10,500.
0:42:47 > 0:42:54- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- APPLAUSE - Bad luck.
