0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless
0:00:27 > 0:00:33where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet the players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:43Welcome, Fiona and Kevin. You are our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:43 > 0:00:49- We live together.- And where are you from?- We're from Falkirk in central Scotland.- What do you do, Kevin?
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- I'm a dispatch worker in a warehouse.- What about you, Fiona?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I work in the travel industry as a trainer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02- So you've done all the travel work and now you teach other people? - Yeah, roughly.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- What's the furthest they've sent you?- Florida.- And the furthest under your own steam?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Arizona, I think.- Las Vegas. - Quite a bit of North America?- Yes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Kevin, what would be good subjects for you?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19I think I'd like some '90s rock music. Indie rock music, really.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Of the '90s?- Yes.- Starting when? Which sort of bands mark the boundaries of your...?
0:01:24 > 0:01:30Like sort of Oasis-type music, but more obscure than that because that won't get me far.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Fiona and Kevin, it's great to have you on the show.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40- Next we welcome Steve and James. How do you two know each other?- We've been school friends for 15 years.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Not school friends, but friends for 15 years, meeting in school.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50- You're not still at school? Please tell me.- No.- No. - That would be a bit weird.- Yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I can still fit into my uniform. That way, not that way.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Where are you from, James? - Originally from Leeds, but we're from Chepstow, both of us, now.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- What do you do, Steve?- I work for a recruitment company in HR.
0:02:04 > 0:02:12- How about you, James?- I am a manager in a distribution company, dealing in cider distribution.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Isn't a cider distribution manager just a posh word for a barman?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Steve, what would you like to see come up?
0:02:19 > 0:02:25I am a fan of WWE wrestling. I haven't seen that come up for a while, so you never know.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29You never... Quite often you do know, don't you? It won't come up.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- James, how about you?- Um, films.
0:02:32 > 0:02:39A wide variety of films. My favourites are Scarface and High School Musical.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- So quite a...- That's quite a... - A broad spectrum.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Anything you wouldn't like to see come up?- Railways. Anything to do with trains.
0:02:49 > 0:02:56- OK, good to be specific. And everything else is pretty good? - Everything else is good to go.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Steve and James, it's great to have you here. Best of luck.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- Next we welcome Paul and Stephanie. How do you know each other?- We've been married for over five years.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12Very good indeed. Someone told me, apparently, I say "very good indeed" all the time.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17You don't say it all the time. You say, "Tremendous." You've started saying, "Totes amaze,"
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- which I think works for you.- OK. - Very good indeed.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Very good indeed. Five years?- Yeah. - Where are you from, Paul?
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- Sunny Croydon. - What do you do in Croydon, Stephanie?- I sell water tanks.
0:03:32 > 0:03:39- The kind that people gather round and discuss last night's TV?- No, the kind they use for sprinkler systems.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45- Paul, what do you do? - I work in operating theatres as an anaesthetic assistant.- Wow!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Not for the queasy?- It's OK.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Very, very good indeed. Anatomy will be very good for you. - No, no.- Really?- No.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Really?- OK, yeah.- You're going to be quite good on that.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Your basic medical stuff, you'll be quite good on that?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Not as much as German football which is more my thing.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Are you part German, Paul? - No, no, no. I'm just an enthusiast.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- You just like to see football played well?- Yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Stephanie, what would you like to see come up?- It's quite specific.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- Dystopic science fiction. - Dystopic?- Yeah. - As opposed to utopic?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Yes.- Utopian?- Yes.- Wow! OK.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Paul and Stephanie, lovely to have you here. Very best of luck.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Finally, we've got Liz and Karl. How do you two know each other?
0:04:33 > 0:04:40- This is my mama and we're both from Hampshire, well, Southampton in Hampshire.- Very good.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Liz, what do you do? - I'm blissfully retired now.- Lovely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:51- What do you like doing with your retirement?- Not a lot, but I like gardening and I love cooking.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- What would you like to see come up? - Something to do with food. I like food.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- As you can see.- And gardening. What do you mean, "As you can see?"
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Karl, what do you do?- I'm a community co-ordinator at a school
0:05:03 > 0:05:08so we make use of the school facilities outside of school time.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Liz and Karl, it's lovely to have you on the show. We'll find out more about all of you during the show.
0:05:14 > 0:05:21There's only one person left to introduce. His brain is thronging with facts. Let's unleash a few.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- APPLAUSE - Hello.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37So four new pairs again. We've had a little run of that recently. Very difficult to predict who will win.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I like Round 2 today. We've covered a lot of things in Pointless.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Round 2 is a new subject for us. I'm not sure we've seen that before.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- And anyone who wanted films, like James, Round 1 is rather good. - Thank you, Richard.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57but we want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02To stay in the game, our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Today's jackpot starts off at £10,500.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21APPLAUSE
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37In this round, each of you gives me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score 100 points, so try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Actors. Decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Robert Redford films as they could. Richard?
0:07:12 > 0:07:18Yes, slightly different criteria. We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:07:18 > 0:07:24for which Robert Redford has received a credit as an actor or director up to the start of 2012.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28As always, no TV films or short films, but voice performances count.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- So, actor or director or both. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37Now then, Fiona and Kevin, you all drew lots before the show and today, you are going first.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41So, Fiona, Robert Redford films, a nice obscure one.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Any film might be nice that's right,
0:07:44 > 0:07:49so I'm going to have a stab at King Of Tides.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55The King Of Tides. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said The King Of Tides.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Bad luck, Fiona. That's an incorrect answer, so you score 100 points. I'm sorry. Richard?
0:08:04 > 0:08:10- Sorry. I don't think there is a King Of Tides. There's a Prince Of Tides, which is Nick Nolte.- Thank you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17- Steve?- I know that James is going to be looking right over my shoulder probably want to poke me, hit me.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23He's the film buff. I'm not. I'm going to have to do the same thing and have a wild stab in the dark.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I'm going to say Prince Of Persia.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Prince Of Persia, says Steve.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35Let's see if that's correct and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Prince Of Persia.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37No.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Are we going to keep up this royal thing all the way through?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47The criteria is different to normal, but it's not "name a film with Prince in the title".
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I hope Robert Redford's not over here and watching.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Stuck in his hotel room, thinking, "I'll watch some of that famously good English TV."
0:08:56 > 0:09:01He's on his way to Heathrow, as we speak. This had better be good, Stephanie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Come on, Stephanie.- I'm really sorry. I can't even think who he is.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07LAUGHTER
0:09:10 > 0:09:17I think he might be maybe more of a classic actor, so I'm going to go for The Seven Samurai.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19LAUGHTER
0:09:22 > 0:09:29Seven Samurai - let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our people said The Seven Samurai.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37I'm afraid, Stephanie, that scores you 100 points because it's an incorrect answer.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Everything is going so well, isn't it(?)
0:09:40 > 0:09:47- On the plus side, it didn't have the word "prince" in the title, so that's something.- Karl, please.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53I was going to say, "Let's have an obscure Robert Redford film." Let's just have a Robert Redford film!
0:09:53 > 0:10:00You say that, but it would be a sham not to make it a full house because I don't know anything by him either.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'm going to say...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11LAUGHTER
0:10:14 > 0:10:20OK, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said that.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24No!
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Shocking(!)- I'm afraid you also score 100 points.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34It's an incorrect answer. I don't know about the good and the ugly, but that's just bad!
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Wow! Well, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43LAUGHTER
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Well, let me just say this. It's neck and neck!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Blimey, OK! You all know what you have to do.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54All we want is a correct answer. We'll be here for ever!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06OK, we are looking for Robert Redford films. Liz...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Thank goodness for you! - I think I could cheer you up.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The Sting.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17The Sting! Lovely. You're all joint high and low scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:24You just have to hope this goes down as low as it can. The Sting, is it right, how many people said it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's correct!
0:11:29 > 0:11:3219. Very well done, Liz.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33APPLAUSE
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It scores 19.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Moreover, it's a correct answer. It takes your total up to 119.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- Richard?- We salute you, Liz.- Thank you.- The good news is Robert Redford now wants to marry you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- The good news is I'll accept. - No kidding(!) From 1973.
0:11:49 > 0:11:56- Won the Best Picture Oscar in 1973 and Robert Redford nominated for an Oscar as well.- Excellent.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Paul, the high scorers are now Liz and Karl on 119. You are on 100.
0:12:00 > 0:12:07If you score 18 or less, you are through to the next round. Tell me you know who Robert Redford is!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I have heard of Robert Redford. I'm aware he works in the film industry.
0:12:11 > 0:12:18If he hasn't made a movie called Stakeout, he should. That's what I'm going for - Stakeout
0:12:18 > 0:12:24OK, we're looking for Robert Redford films. Paul says Stakeout. There's your red line.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28If you get below that red line with Stakeout...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31well done, you!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33LAUGHTER
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Stakeout, is it right, how many people said it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Bad luck, Paul. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. That takes your total up to 200. Richard?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It's a shame because Prince Of Stakeouts is a Robert Redford film!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50LAUGHTER
0:12:50 > 0:12:54James, the high scorers on 200 are Paul and Stephanie.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00You're on 100, which means a score of 99 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- I think I know a couple of obscure ones, but I'm going to play it safe...- No!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09..and go for The Horse Whisperer.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Here's your red line. It's quite high. - LAUGHTER
0:13:13 > 0:13:19Let's see if The Horse Whisperer is right and if it is, how many people said The Horse Whisperer.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's right and you are through to the next round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:2719.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29APPLAUSE
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Very well done indeed. That takes your total up to 119.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37You are tied with Liz and Karl, but safely through. Richard?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41He directed that and starred in it as the horse whisperer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Kevin, the high scorers on 200 are Paul and Stephanie. You're on 100.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48A score of 99 or less, into the next round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I'm going to take a guess at something he might have been in.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I'll go for The Towering Inferno.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The Towering Inferno, says Kevin.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said The Towering Inferno.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08No!
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Surprise(!)- I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer which takes your total up to 200.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- Richard?- The Towering Inferno is the sort of film he might have been in.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- Yeah.- It had Steve McQueen and Paul Newman both in Robert Redford-ish roles.- It's a tie.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Our two tied pairs have to give me one answer each. The pair with the highest score is eliminated.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33You can now confer. Like that's going to help(!)
0:14:33 > 0:14:36WHISPERING
0:14:36 > 0:14:42OK, we are looking for Robert Redford films. Kevin and Fiona, I would like you to go first.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48- We're going to try for Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.- OK, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Yes!
0:15:00 > 0:15:0236.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- APPLAUSE - 36. It takes your total up to 236.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Paul and Stephanie...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13We thought of going for Seabiscuit on the horses theme,
0:15:13 > 0:15:18but if a western is a correct answer shall we go for The Magnificent Seven?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23No, I did a "Seven" one, so I think we shouldn't do that.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK. Let's go for Seabiscuit.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Seabiscuit, says Paul. Let's see if Seabiscuit is right.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35There is your red line. If you get below it, you are through to the next round. Seabiscuit...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40No! Bad luck, bad luck.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46Paul and Stephanie, that is another incorrect answer which takes your total up to 300.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48LAUGHTER
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Is there a club for that? - There is now.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56He's been in all sorts of films -
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Indecent Proposal, Great Gatsby, A River Runs Through It, Out Of Africa, Spy Game.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08An Unfinished Life, Downhill Racer about a, um...downhill racer!
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Inside Daisy Clover. Downhill ski racer, I should have said.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18Quiz Show, which he directed, The Legend Of Bagger Vance with Will Smith and Matt Damon.
0:16:18 > 0:16:25The Milagro Beanfield War, The Natural, which is a wonderful film, Up Close & Personal as well.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29The highest scorer of all was Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Thanks. At the end of Round 1, the losing pair with the highest score, Paul and Stephanie.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- If you're going to lose, you might as well lose in style.- Style? - LAUGHTER
0:16:39 > 0:16:45We won't have Robert Redford next time, but, Paul and Stephanie, we will have you next time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49I'm sure we'll see much more of you then. Thanks for playing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51APPLAUSE
0:16:53 > 0:16:57But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.
0:17:02 > 0:17:09There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will leave us at the end of this round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Our category for Round 2 is...
0:17:12 > 0:17:18Historical Sites. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31It's the first time we've had a question like this, according to Mr Osman. Let's see what it concerns.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38We'll give you six clues on each pass to the name of an historic prison.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44Give us an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. Give us an incorrect answer, 100 points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- 12 prisons in all to guess at home. - Thank you very much.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Here come our six clues to historic prisons.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I'll read those all one more time.
0:18:38 > 0:18:45There are our six prisons. You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- Now then, Kevin...- I should know the German prisoner-of-war camp.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Right, I'm going for that one. Is it something like Kadowitz?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Kadowitz, says Kevin.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer - Kadowitz.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06No.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Bad luck, Kevin. That's an incorrect answer, so you score 100 points. Richard?
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Another 100. The good news is, though, Kadowitz is a Robert Redford film(!)
0:19:19 > 0:19:25- James, prisons?- There's one that jumps out that I think I've got a slight inkling, so I'll go for that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Nelson Mandela, Cook Island?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Cook Island...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, Cook Island, says James.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Cook Island.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42No. Bad luck.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44That's another 100 points.
0:19:45 > 0:19:52Liz, you're the last person to have this board. You can fill in the gaps if you like!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I think I know a few of them.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I presume the German prisoner-of-war is Colditz.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I should know Nelson Mandela and I can't for the life of me remember it
0:20:01 > 0:20:05New York State prison, I think, is Alcatraz, and the Bastille is France
0:20:05 > 0:20:11But I think I'll go for The Ballad Of Reading Gaol, the Oscar Wilde one Reading Gaol.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17Reading Gaol, says Liz. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Yes, it's right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Very, very well done, Liz.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- APPLAUSE - Not only is it right...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34..it also scores you only 7 points. Very good.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41Well played, Liz. Essentially, we're playing a game of "everybody gets it wrong, then Liz gets it right".
0:20:41 > 0:20:49Written under the pseudonym C33, which was Cell Block 3, Landing 3, Cell 3, which was his prison number.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55- Liz, you thought you had an answer to the Nelson Mandela one?- Robben Island?- Yes. That scored 10 points.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Very low scorer. The highest answer on the board is the bottom one.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Liz, you're right, the Bastille.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It would have scored you 28.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- You were wrong about New York State prison. That is Sing Sing.- Yes. - It would have scored 5.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14The German POW camp, Kevin, it's not Kadowitz, it's Colditz.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20Would have scored you 11. Tough luck. And Johnny Cash made his first prison album at Folsom Prison.
0:21:20 > 0:21:2512 points. Very well done if you got all of those. Very well done if you got one of them!
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Thank you, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Liz and Karl...
0:21:32 > 0:21:36A lovely correct answer there scoring you only seven.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41And then we go up to 100 to James and Steve and Kevin and Fiona.
0:21:41 > 0:21:48So, Steve and Fiona, let's hope you know your historic prisons or we'll have another tie!
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:54 > 0:21:59We're going to put six more clues on the board. And here we go.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01HE READS THE LIST
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'll read those all one more time.
0:22:39 > 0:22:46There we are. We are looking for the historic prisons described there and you want the one
0:22:46 > 0:22:48that the fewest people knew.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Karl, you're the low scorers on seven. The high scorers are on 100.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58A score of 92 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00There's a few I know,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03but I'm going to go with...
0:23:03 > 0:23:08the one about Rudolf Hess, which I believe is Spandau prison.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Very good indeed. Spandau says Karl. Here's your red line coming in.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Lovely and high. Get below that and you're through.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Is it right? How many said Spandau?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Quite right, and you are through.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33Very, very well done indeed, Karl. That's a great answer. Lovely low score of 9 takes your total to 16.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Richard?- Very well played. On the outskirts of Berlin.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Rudolf Hess was its last prisoner for over 20 years, 1966 to 1987.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Very good. Now then, Steve, you're the joint high scorers on 100.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53We need a nice low score because it's between you and Fiona.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Em, it's going to have to be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03I will guess at "also known as The Rock in San Francisco Bay" and I'll go with Alcatraz.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05OK, Alcatraz for The Rock.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12There's no red line for you. Let's see if Alcatraz is right and how many people said it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yes, it's right!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- 56.- OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Not bad. That takes your total up to 156.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Richard?- A correct answer, Steve. There's a film called The Rock.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Al Capone was there for 4½ years. - OK.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37Now then, Fiona, the high scorers are Steve and James on 156. You are on 100.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42A score of 55 or less sees you into the Head to Head. Come on, Fiona.
0:24:42 > 0:24:49I would love to fill in this whole board. However, that's not going to happen.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54I think Anne Boleyn may have been executed in the Tower of London.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00- You're saying the Tower of London. - Yeah.- OK. Tower of London. Here's your red line.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06Below that, you're in the Head to Head. Is it right? How many people said the Tower of London?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It is right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And you are through to the next round. 25! Well done!
0:25:15 > 0:25:1825 takes your total up to 125.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25The last person to be executed at the Tower, do you know the year?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Shall I tell you? - Go on.- 1941.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- What?!- Yeah, 1941. A German spy called Josef Jakobs.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40- The City of London prison pulled down in 1902? Any ideas? - Newgate?- Absolutely right.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Parts of the Old Bailey are on the site. 5 points.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48The former leper colony in French Guiana? Where Papillon is set.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Devil's Island. - Absolutely right. 4 points.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- And outlaw Ned Kelly executed there in 1880?- Old Melbourne prison.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Absolutely right. One point. Very well done if you got all 12.
0:26:01 > 0:26:09- Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score, it's Steve and James.- Yeah.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15- What can you say?- I can say we've not seen you at your best. - I don't think so, no.- No.
0:26:15 > 0:26:22- Next time we're going to see a lot better from you.- Definitely. - I think so, yes. Please.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Great to have you on the show. Thanks so much for playing.
0:26:28 > 0:26:35But for the remaining two pairs things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Congratulations, Liz and Karl, Fiona and Kevin. You are one round from the final
0:26:43 > 0:26:49and a chance to play for that jackpot, which currently stands at £10,500.
0:26:53 > 0:27:00Now only one pair can play for that money, so you are now going to go head to head
0:27:00 > 0:27:06on the best of three questions. The first pair to win two will play for the jackpot.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10You're now, of course, allowed to confer. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:20 > 0:27:27- BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year. Richard?- We're going to show you five pictures
0:27:27 > 0:27:34- of recipients of the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. Can you name the most obscure?- Thanks.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Let's reveal our five BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55OK, there are our five BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Liz and Karl, you've played best and so you get to go first.
0:28:01 > 0:28:08- Go on, then.- OK, we have an answer. - We're going to go with E, Marina Hingis.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10E, Martina Hingis.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16E, Martina Hingis. Fiona and Kevin, you can do all your thinking out loud now.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21We have got an idea who D is, but not confident.
0:28:21 > 0:28:28We know who A and B are, so it's a toss up between the two. And will we go with the golfer?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- Yeah. - We'll go with B, Seve Ballesteros.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Seve Ballesteros. OK, we have Martina Hingis and Seve Ballesteros.
0:28:36 > 0:28:43Liz and Karl, you have said E, Martina Hingis. Let's see if that's right and how many people said
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Martina Hingis.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Absolutely right.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Oh, very, very well done. Down to single figures.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Nine for Martina Hingis.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05And Fiona and Kevin have said B is Seve Ballesteros.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Nine is the score you have to beat to win this question.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:2137.
0:29:24 > 0:29:30- So after one question Liz and Karl are up one-nil. Richard?- Let's look at the answers.
0:29:30 > 0:29:36Only one would have beaten Martina Hingis. It's not A, Shane Warne. He would have scored you 42 points.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42The late, great Seve Ballesteros, 37. Now C, some people at home will have got this. Only one point.
0:29:42 > 0:29:49One of the greatest figure skaters of all time. The American Donald Jackson. He won in 1962.
0:29:49 > 0:29:55And D is Olga Korbut. Olga Korbut,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59who won three gold medals in the 1972 Olympics. 17 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- Very well done if you got all five. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09Here comes your second question. Fiona and Kevin, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Here it comes. It concerns... bones of the human body.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Bones of the human body. Richard?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22We're going to show you five names of bones, all in anagram form.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Can you work them out and give the most obscure answer?
0:30:26 > 0:30:32OK, thanks, Richard, so let's reveal our five anagrams of human body bones. Here we go.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I'll read those all one more time.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53There are your anagrams of bones. Fiona and Kevin,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55you go first.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- We're going to go for the All Emus. - Yep.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- We think that's the malleus. - The malleus.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Liz and Karl...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Sternum might be.- OK.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Yeah, OK.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18We'll go for Men Rust and sternum.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Men Rust is sternum, say Liz and Karl. We have malleus and sternum.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28Fiona and Kevin have said All Emus is malleus. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31It's right.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Oh, it's a good score.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42One! Very, very well done, Fiona and Kevin.
0:31:45 > 0:31:52One for malleus. Liz and Karl have said Men Rust is sternum.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Let's see if that's right and how many gave that answer.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's right.
0:32:04 > 0:32:0624.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1224, which means after two questions you are one-all. Richard?
0:32:12 > 0:32:17Malleus is the best answer on the board. Let's see these.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23Luna is ulna. That's the simplest one and would have scored 51.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- Ambled In. Do you know that? - Mandible.- Yeah, the lower jaw.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32That would have scored 2 points. And Sure Hum?
0:32:32 > 0:32:38- It's a big score, but I found it hard to work out. The humerus. - Oh, of course.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Which would have scored you 46. Well done if you got all five.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49Thank you, Richard. Here comes your third question. Whoever wins it will go through to the final
0:32:49 > 0:32:54and play for that massive jackpot. Good luck. Your third question concerns...William Shakespeare.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57William Shakespeare, Richard?
0:32:57 > 0:33:05We're going to give you five clues to facts about William Shakespeare. Which of these is the most obscure?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about William Shakespeare.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- And we have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I'll read those all one more time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38So there we are. Five clues to facts about Shakespeare.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Liz and Karl, you go first again this time.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45OK, then.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49We're going for the woman he married.
0:33:49 > 0:33:56- I'm going to go for Anne Hathaway. - Anne Hathaway, say Liz and Karl, for the woman he married.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02- Fiona and Kevin, you can think out loud.- We've got an idea of the town and the actor who played him.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Which one do you want to go for? - Town.- We'll go for the town
0:34:06 > 0:34:12- and say Stratford upon Avon. - Stratford upon Avon. OK, so we have two answers there.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18Liz and Karl have said Anne Hathaway is the name of the woman he married in 1582.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24It's right.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3027.
0:34:35 > 0:34:4227. Fiona and Kevin have said Stratford upon Avon is the town where he was born. Is that right?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's right.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48So 27 is what you have to beat.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Oh! 28!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Wow!
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Very, very close indeed, but Liz and Karl pip you there with 27,
0:34:59 > 0:35:06- which means Liz and Karl are through to the final, 2-1. Richard? - Kevin, the actor would have won.
0:35:06 > 0:35:13- Who did you think it was? - Colin Farrell?- Not Colin Farrell. Yeah, it's Joseph Fiennes.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17That won the Best Picture Oscar. Three points.
0:35:17 > 0:35:23The furniture left to his wife in his will. It's quite famous - his second-best bed.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27We'd have taken bed. 17 points. And the mother's maiden name?
0:35:27 > 0:35:32- Arden.- That's the best answer. Two points. Very well done.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Very well done if you got 15 across those three.
0:35:37 > 0:35:43Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair I'm afraid is Fiona and Kevin.
0:35:43 > 0:35:50It's been quite a bumpy ride, I think we can say. But you gave a good account and malleus...!
0:35:50 > 0:35:55All is forgiven from the first two rounds for malleus. Lovely answer.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Very well done indeed. We will see you again next time.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03And I'm sure we'll see you in the Head to Head and beyond.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Thank you very much for playing, Fiona and Kevin!
0:36:08 > 0:36:12But for Liz and Karl it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22Congratulations, Liz and Karl. You have fought off all competition to win the coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:28 > 0:36:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and the jackpot stands at £10,500.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45So the rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50We haven't had any on the show. We've hardly had any right answers!
0:36:50 > 0:36:54One pointless answer now and you go home with that £10,500.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59First, you choose a category from these five options. They are...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01HE READS THE LIST
0:37:07 > 0:37:12- What would you like? - Shall we go...boxing?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Em...- Give it a go.- All right. We'll have a bash at boxing.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20OK. That's the spirit!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Let's find out your question.
0:37:23 > 0:37:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many boxers fought professionally by Frank Bruno
0:37:30 > 0:37:32as they could.
0:37:32 > 0:37:39- Richard?- We're looking for the name of any professional boxer who fought Frank Bruno
0:37:39 > 0:37:44from the start of his career in 1982 through to his last fight in 1996.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- We need first names and surnames, please.- OK.
0:37:47 > 0:37:54You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win that £10,500
0:37:54 > 0:38:00- is for one answer to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes! - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:04 > 0:38:11- Mike Tyson. That's a bit obvious. I'm trying to think of boxers from that time.- Manny Pacquiao?- No.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17Buster Douglas was around at that time. He fought Tyson. I don't know if he fought Bruno.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Who else was around?- Em... I'm just trying to think.
0:38:21 > 0:38:27- Mike Tyson... - That's one, but that's obvious.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32Nigel Benn, but that was a different weight. Eubank, maybe.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Did they fight each other? - I'm not sure.- No.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38What else have we got?
0:38:38 > 0:38:44- Em... I think there was a guy called Nigel Spinks. - There is a Nigel Spinks.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Or is he a footballer? - No, no, he's...
0:38:48 > 0:38:55- I'm just trying to think of heavyweight boxers from that period. I don't really know.- 10 seconds.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- So Buster Douglas.- Yes.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Nigel Spinks.- Yeah.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01And...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- We only have two.- There's your time.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10OK, we're looking for boxers fought professionally by Frank Bruno.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16- I now need your three answers. - We're gonna go Buster Douglas. - Buster Douglas.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Nigel Spinks.- Nigel Spinks.
0:39:18 > 0:39:24- And Mike Tyson.- And Mike Tyson. Which do you think is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- Buster Douglas.- We'll put him third. - Not sure it's right, but if it is...
0:39:29 > 0:39:35- The most obvious being Mike Tyson, so we'll put him first?- Yeah. - Let's put them up in that order.
0:39:39 > 0:39:45OK, so we were looking for boxers fought professionally by Frank Bruno. Mike Tyson, you said, was
0:39:45 > 0:39:53your least confident shot at a pointless answer. Remember, you only need to find one to win.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58So how many people said Mike Tyson? Is it right?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Yep, Mike Tyson is a correct answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Now all it has to do is go down to zero and you will leave here... Oh!
0:40:05 > 0:40:0752.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. You have two more shots.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20What would you do with £10,500, Liz?
0:40:20 > 0:40:24My younger son's car could probably do with replacing.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26It sounds awful!
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- Karl, what would you do?- My girlfriend wants a summer holiday.
0:40:31 > 0:40:38OK, well, very best of luck. We were looking for boxers fought professionally by Frank Bruno.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43Let's hope nobody said Nigel Spinks. It has to be correct and pointless for you to win.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Let's see if it's right and how many said Nigel Spinks.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Oh! Bad luck!
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Bad luck.- Surprise.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58An incorrect answer. You only have one more chance to win the jackpot.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03Everything is now riding on Buster Douglas. OK.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09We're looking for boxers fought by Frank Bruno. Buster Douglas has to be right
0:41:09 > 0:41:16and has to be pointless. If it's both, you will win the jackpot of £10,500. Very best of luck.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Buster Douglas. Is it pointless?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Oh, no!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Bad luck!
0:41:24 > 0:41:32- We tried.- Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:32 > 0:41:35so you don't win today's jackpot of £10,500,
0:41:35 > 0:41:42which rolls over to the next show. But you have been fantastic and you take home the Pointless trophy.
0:41:48 > 0:41:55- So, Richard...- Unlucky. Buster Douglas never fought Bruno. He did fight Tyson, very famously.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Nigel Spinks - there's Michael Spinks, who also fought Tyson, and Leon Spinks,
0:42:00 > 0:42:06who fought Ali amongst others, but Nigel Spink was the Aston Villa goalkeeper
0:42:06 > 0:42:12who famously won the European Cup. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17Boxing aficionados will know these. Anders Eklund, that was pointless.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Chuck Gardner, Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings,
0:42:20 > 0:42:26Jesse Ferguson, Juan Figueroa, his very first fight against Lupe Guerra.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Rodolfo "Delfino" Marin, Tom Stevenson, Winston Allen.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37Some of the bigger names - Mike Evans, Carl Williams, Jose Ribalta, James "Quick" Tillis.
0:42:37 > 0:42:44- Very well done if you got those. - Thank you, Richard. Unfortunately, we say goodbye, Liz and Karl.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49- Thank you both so much for playing. - Thank you.- Thanks for having us.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Unfortunately, Liz and Karl didn't win our jackpot so it rolls over
0:42:55 > 0:43:00and on the next show we will be playing for £11,500.
0:43:03 > 0:43:08- Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
