0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:32the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We welcome back Fiona and Kevin.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44You were on the show last time, everyone gets two chances to reach the final.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47This is your second chance. Remind us how you know each other?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- We live together, with a dog. - This is in Falkirk.- Yes.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Remind us, Kevin, what happened last time?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Last time, we had a rather bumpy ride...- Yes.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- ..to get to the head-to-head. - You made it to the head-to-head. It was quite tightly fought.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Put out by one point.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Tell us what happened earlier in the game.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09We went to a head-to-head due to scoring 200 points, along with another.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We had one of the highest-scoring games of Pointless ever.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Ever, ever, ever. It must be the highest-scoring game...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I can't imagine it would be possible to have a higher-scoring one.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Fiona, what would you like to see come up?- I'd still like geography.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- I'd like a bit of Disney. Quite an avid football fan.- Are you?
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Regularly support Scotland, our national team.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Go every home game.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Kevin, any other interests? - Completely different film stars
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- from the last time!- OK, anyone but Robert Redford.- Yes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Poor Robert Redford! I'd no idea so many people
0:01:45 > 0:01:49knew so little. Please can he not have been watching...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- He was watching, I spoke to him afterwards.- Really?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Oh, yeah. He was furious!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And he's here today...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh dear, oh dear. Fiona and Kevin,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07let's see you back in the head-to-head, maybe beyond.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Next we welcome Neil and Karl, a new pair. Neil,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- where are you from? - I'm from Peterborough.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- And Karl?- Wrexham at the moment. - How do you know Neil?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Neil is my brother-in-law, he married my sister.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Yep, that's how it works. Neil, what do you do?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I'm a computer software tester which means I test computer software.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30LAUGHTER
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- It's as rock 'n' roll as it sounds. - What do you do when not testing software?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I play a lot of sports, watch a lot of sports,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40talk about a lot of sports. And know a lot of things about a lot of sports.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So sports and IT. Anything else?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Music is a big strong point for me, any genre.- Any genre?
0:02:47 > 0:02:54- Classical music?- Maybe not 1920s Belgian jazz? That's not...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Oh...- Some might argue the best kind of jazz.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Ah, 1920s...- Round Three's not going to be fun.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01No.
0:03:01 > 0:03:08- OK. Karl, what do you do?- I'm a blogger, I do a lot of writing for various websites.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Any other interests that might... - My music's pretty good.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- I was on Ken Bruce's PopMaster on BBC Radio 2.- How did you do?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I came second, out of two!
0:03:19 > 0:03:25- OK.- But second, nonetheless! - Well, you were runner-up.- Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Very best of luck to you, Neil and Karl. Next, we welcome
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Paul and Stephanie, you were also on the show last time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Remind us how you two know each other?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- We're married, we've been married for five years.- Took you a little while to remember that!- Yes!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What's going to be brilliant for you, Stephanie?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I did a European theatre degree.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Maybe some obscure European theatre would be good?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Good, yes? OK...good for Stephanie. European theatre?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Yes.- Who are your favourite European playwrights?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I quite like Marguerite Duras. Marguerite Duras.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Margu... You are one of Marguerite's biggest...- Man, oh, man,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08do I like her / him!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Marguerite Dur-r-r-as, that's a her, isn't it?- She's a her.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18I love the play she did about ...the thing about ennui and the small village.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- I liked that very much.- Yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25That was terrific. In fact, we starred in a revival of that in the West End, didn't we?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Mmm.- Ennui In A Small Village.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29LAUGHTER
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Wonderful. It was called "Thierry Ennui".
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- I remember.- There was a French playwright called Anouilh.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38SILENCE
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Wow! Let's move on. Paul, Stephanie, lovely to have you back on the show.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Let's see more of you than we did last time.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Very best of luck. Finally, we welcome back Steve and James,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53also on the famous show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57We did a little bit better, we got through Robert Redford, but we got to Round Two.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Yes.- Historical Prisons. - Historic Prisons.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04We can put that all behind us, today is a new day.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What's going to be good for you?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Any sport, TV, comedians,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- er, would be good.- James? Anything else you want to nominate?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Possibly nature, not too bad on that.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Natural history?- A little bit, yeah. - OK. Best of luck to you,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Steve and James, let's hope we see more of you as well.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We'll find out more about all of you in the show.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30There's only one person left to introduce. If you're looking for facts about cake toppings,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32he's got hundreds and thousands!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34AUDIENCE GROANS
0:05:35 > 0:05:38He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah. Hiya!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42APPLAUSE
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Have you recovered from the last show yet?- Barely!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- It was quite something, wasn't it? - Oh...- If I can get philosophical for a moment,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54it's important in life to be in the right place at the right time,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58isn't it? Opportunity comes your way and you make some of your own luck in this world,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00but occasionally things fall in your lap.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05I think Neil and Karl could not be in a better place and time than they are today!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06LAUGHTER
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Firstly, probably the highest-scoring pairs
0:06:10 > 0:06:13you ever could come up against in Pointless history,
0:06:13 > 0:06:14which is no-one's fault...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Education system, I don't know, parents, it's something!
0:06:17 > 0:06:22But that happens to be the case. Secondly, a very, very big jackpot
0:06:22 > 0:06:27at the same time. Right place, right time. Should be a cracking show.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'd like to be Neil and Karl right about now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Thank you very much, Richard. All our questions on Pointless
0:06:34 > 0:06:36have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38We're looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41To stay in the game and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44our players need to score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer -
0:06:47 > 0:06:50an answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56We didn't trouble the jackpot updaters too much last time,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and also, nobody won the jackpot last time
0:06:59 > 0:07:01so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Today's jackpot starts off at £11,500.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08APPLAUSE
0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21In this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:07:21 > 0:07:23and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26The pair with the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points. Try and avoid those.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Our first category is...
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Can you decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48OK, our Round One question concerns...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Famous Joes, Richard.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57We're about to give you a list of clues to famous people who are named Joe or Joseph.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02One list going up and one going back. There's going to be 14 in all for you to guess at home.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Thanks very much. Kevin and Fiona, you drew lots before the show.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Today, you get to go first.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10OK, we're looking for Famous Joes. And we have got...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'll read those all one more time.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54There are all the Joes. Kevin, what are you thinking?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- The only one I know is quite sad. - Is it The X Factor winner?- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59LAUGHTER
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'll just go for that, Joe McElderry.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Kevin is saying Joe McElderry for the winner of 2009 X Factor.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Nothing sad about that at all. Is it right?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11How many people said Joe McElderry?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12It's right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:1931.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22APPLAUSE
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- 31 for Joe McElderry.- Pretty big score, he won in 2009,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29beat Olly Murs.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30There we are, thank you very much.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We come to you, Karl, famous Josephs.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I'm pretty happy with this board, actually,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39that there are quite a few I'm confident on.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It's a case of picking the one I think least people will know.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'm going to go for the top one, Pope Benedict,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47and go for Joseph Ratzinger.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Joseph Ratzinger, says Karl. Sounds good to me, let's see if it's right and how many people knew it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Joseph Ratzinger. Very well done, it's right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I've a feeling this will be going a long way down.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Yes! Very well done!
0:10:07 > 0:10:104, Karl. That's a great score.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well played, a good start to your Pointless career.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16He famously said he never wanted to become Pope.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm going to say he went into the wrong profession!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20If you don't want to become Pope,
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- don't become high up in the Catholic Church.- But that's what happened. You want to become a cardinal,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29cardinal's great. There's a great film called Habemus Papam...
0:10:30 > 0:10:33..which is what they say when they send up the white smoke.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Habemus Papam.- We have a Pope. - That's nice, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Thank you, Richard. Paul, Famous Joes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I'm quite happy with this. We're not going to get 100 points for this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I think the best answer I know is Barack Obama's vice-president,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50which is the gaffe-prone Joe Biden.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Joe Biden, gaffe-prone.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- He threw that in for nothing.- How about that?- No points for that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02Let's see, Joe Biden (gaffe-prone). Is he right, and if he is,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04how many people knew that answer?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05It's right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I suspect it'll be another low one.
0:11:11 > 0:11:1313, well done, Paul, good answer.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15APPLAUSE
0:11:15 > 0:11:1813 for Joe Biden.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Well played, that must feel a bit better?- A bit, yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Absolutely. He was a senator for over half his life, Joe Biden.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Career politician. And he is very famous for his gaffes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32He said the key thing for economic recovery was one simple three-letter word...
0:11:32 > 0:11:33jobs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39James, remember we're looking for the surnames of Famous Joes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43I know three out of the four.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Fill in the gaps, you're the last person to have the board,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and you say which one you want to submit.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I don't know author of Catch-22. I think the Soviet Union's
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Man Of Steel might be Joseph Stalin.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Boxing's Italian dragon, Joe Calzaghe,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57but I think I'll go for
0:11:57 > 0:12:02the baseball star married to Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Joe DiMaggio, says James.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- This is more like it!- This is like proper Pointless.- This is Pointless!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Joe DiMaggio, says James, let's see if that's right,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15if it is, how many of our 100 people said Joe DiMaggio.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16It's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:2141.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22APPLAUSE
0:12:25 > 0:12:2741 for Joe DiMaggio.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yes, a very big score. You'd have been a lot better
0:12:30 > 0:12:34with the other one you knew, boxing's Italian dragon, Joe Calzaghe.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Best answer on the board, 7 points.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39One of the best answers up there.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Soviet Union's Man Of Steel was Joseph Stalin,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44also would have been a better answer, 20 points.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- And the author of Catch-22...- Joseph Heller.- Joseph Heller, exactly.
0:12:48 > 0:12:5017 points. Well done if you got all seven.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Lovely low score from Karl there,
0:12:56 > 0:12:594, Karl and Neil.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Then up to 13, Paul and Stephanie.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Up to 31, Kevin and Fiona.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08And James, who managed to fill in the board for us, pretty much,
0:13:08 > 0:13:14went for one of the highest-scoring answers. You're at the top of the table there, so, Steve,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17no pressure but we'd like a nice obscure answer to see you through
0:13:17 > 0:13:21to the next round. We're coming back down the line. Can the second players take their places?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27We're going to put seven more Joes on the board.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Here they are.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14There are all your Joes. You are looking for the one
0:14:14 > 0:14:17you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Now then, Steve,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20you're the high scorers on 41.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Not by a long way but a nice low score from you is required here.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Absolutely. I know a few, which is a relief.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Again, hopefully I've picked the lowest out of the three I know.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I'll go with "Had 1968 No.1 With A Little Help From My Friends",
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- that's Joe Cocker.- Joe Cocker,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41says Steve. There's no red line because you're the highest scorers.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45You have to hope it goes down as far as it can. Joe Cocker, is it right?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48How many people said it? It's right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:5423.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Not bad. Takes your total up to 64
0:14:58 > 0:15:00for Joe Cocker.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Born in Sheffield but not Jarvis' dad.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Both Sheffield lads.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- At number one with a session musician playing guitar, Jimmy Page.- Wow.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Very good indeed. Stephanie, you're on 13. The highest scorers
0:15:13 > 0:15:17are Steve and James on 64, so a score of 50 or less from you
0:15:17 > 0:15:19will be enough to see you into the next round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- How are those Joes looking? - Not great.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Oh, really?- I feel like I should know several
0:15:25 > 0:15:26but I think I've...
0:15:26 > 0:15:32My mind's gone a bit blank. I'm not 100% sure about this,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I think it might be quite high anyway.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39But I'm just going to say Joe Hart for the goalkeeper.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Joe Hart, the Manchester City and England goalkeeper in 2011,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Joe Hart. Paul very happy with that. There is your red line.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Joe Hart. Is it right? If so, how many people said it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Well done.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01You've done it!
0:16:02 > 0:16:0430. Very well done. Takes your total to 43.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06APPLAUSE
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Good answer.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Well played, that's the most relieved I've seen anybody look!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Very much England's number one now, Joe Hart,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19head and shoulders above the competition.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Neil, you're on 4.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24A score of 59 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26How are the Josephs?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I was thinking I'd go for EastEnders' Mickey Miller
0:16:29 > 0:16:32but his surname's slipped my mind. All I remember is he's called Joe.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34LAUGHTER
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I'm going to have to go, I think it'll be quite good,
0:16:37 > 0:16:42I'm going to go for the frontman of The Clash which was Joe Strummer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Joe Strummer, says Neil. Here's what your red line looks like.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Below that, you're through to the next round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Joe Strummer,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51is it right? How many people said it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53He's right.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56And you're through to the next round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Very good. 17. Takes your total up to 21.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02APPLAUSE
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Joe Strummer.- The late great Joe Strummer takes you safely through.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Born John Mellor, in Turkey.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17You are on 31. The highest scorers are still Steve and James on 64,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20which means a score of 32 will see you through to the next round.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Talk us through the board. Fill in the blanks.- Again,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'd love to fill you in with all the blanks.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27However, it's not going to happen.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34But I do have the EastEnders one. I think it's Joe Swash.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Joe Swash. EastEnders' Mickey Miller.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40You have to score 32 or less
0:17:40 > 0:17:44with this. Good luck. Mickey Miller....
0:17:44 > 0:17:46is played by Joe Swash, according to Fiona.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Your red line is quite low.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53It's right.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58You've done it!
0:17:58 > 0:18:0024.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Brings your total up to 55.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03APPLAUSE
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Richard.- Joe Swash, yes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And his younger sister and son have also appeared in EastEnders.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Do you want to have a go at filling these in?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- The US Senator?- McCarthy.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Joseph McCarthy.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21That would have scored 18.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Author of Heart Of Darkness? - Joseph Conrad.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Absolutely right. 13 points.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- And the British dramatist...- Joe Orton.- The best answer on the board.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- Wow.- 1 point.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Well done to anybody who got all the Joes.- Well done. Thanks, Richard.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Steve and James! This is unjust. - BOTH: I know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Nothing wrong with your knowledge,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44just your judgement.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45LAUGHTER
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You did brilliantly, you got all those things,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50a lovely low score and you went for Joe DiMaggio.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Who'd have known that was going to be such a high score?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Thank you for playing.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00APPLAUSE
0:19:02 > 0:19:05For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11APPLAUSE
0:19:11 > 0:19:13There's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head
0:19:13 > 0:19:17so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many cities in Germany
0:19:38 > 0:19:39as they could. Richard.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42We're looking for the name of any city in Germany
0:19:42 > 0:19:46and the definition of city will be anything that's a direct member
0:19:46 > 0:19:48of the German Association Of Cities.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Paul, if you give me an indirect member of the German Association Of Cities, I will not accept it!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56OK, so we are looking for cities in Germany.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Fiona, we discovered last time that you train travel advisors.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07- Yes.- So this must play right into your hands.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Everyone goes on holiday to Germany!
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Ah... Yes, yes, they do! They most certainly do.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18What is the most obscure German city you can think of?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22A direct member of the German Association Of Cities.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I'm going to go with an old family favourite and go for Cologne.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Let's see if it's right and how many people said Cologne.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Very well done, Fiona. It's right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3626.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37APPLAUSE
0:20:40 > 0:20:4326 for Cologne. Richard.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Their Gothic cathedral is the largest in Northern Europe.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Neil.- Yes.- German Association Of Cities.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Well, my GAC subscription expired last year, so...
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- You want to GAC up!- I have spent some time working in Germany
0:20:58 > 0:21:01but I can't remember whether the place I worked was a city or town.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03That shows how much I got out.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- I'm going to play it safe-ish and go for Dusseldorf.- Dusseldorf.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Let's see if that's right and if so, how many people said Dusseldorf.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15It's right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:2044.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- 44 for Dusseldorf.- The capital of North Rhine-Westphalia.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32I'll ask you at the end of the round where you worked and we'll see if it's a city!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Stephanie, how good is this for you?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- German cities.- It would be better if it was German football teams.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42It may be that amounts to the same sort of thing.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, no, cos I've got to work out which part of their name
0:21:46 > 0:21:48is the city part. I'm not sure I know that.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55- Ah...- I think I'm going to go for one that will be quite high
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- but I know it's right. Hamburg. - Hamburg. Let's see
0:21:59 > 0:22:03if Hamburg's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04It's right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:0945.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10APPLAUSE
0:22:10 > 0:22:1245 for Hamburg.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The second most popular city in Germany.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Do you know what foodstuff came from Hamburg?
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Er...- Shall I tell you?- Yes. - Potato waffles.- Really?- Yes.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26There you go, potato waffles.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well, Cologne, Fiona,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36that was a fabulous answer, as it turns out, correspondingly.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Then up to Neil and Karl on 44, then up to 45,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41where we find Stephanie and Paul.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's an open field. We'll come back down the line.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53OK, we are looking for German cities, remember. Paul.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Again, it's working my way through the Bundesliga. I was hoping to play safe...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You're the high scorers, you have to do something special.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I'll go for Hoffenheim.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06"Ooh!" was the noise that everyone was longing to make there.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Hoffenheim.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Is it a member of GAC? That's all I want to know.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I'll have to ring up GAC.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Paul is saying Hoffenheim. There's no red line as you are the highest scorers.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Let's see if it's right and if so, how many people said Hoffenheim.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25No... Bad luck, Paul.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer
0:23:28 > 0:23:32which means you score 100 points. That takes your total to 145.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Richard.- Sorry, Paul, the Bundesliga has let you down there.
0:23:35 > 0:23:361899 Hoffenheim, they're actually
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- a village team.- Really? - A village team?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- In the Bundesliga?- They famously climbed the ranks of German football.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Goodness! Now then, Karl, the good news is Paul and Stephanie
0:23:47 > 0:23:52are so far in front, you won't be able to overtake them, even if you score 100 points.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Bearing that in mind, maybe see if there's a pointless answer in there.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I will. Much like Paul and Stephanie,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I know a lot of German places cos of football
0:24:01 > 0:24:03but I don't know which are cities.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- And which are villages.- Indeed.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08With the shackles off a little bit,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm going to go for somewhere I think is in Germany,
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- I've only seen it written down, Mains or Mainz? M-A-I-N-Z.- Mainz.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Yes.- I don't know, I'm just repeating what you said!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22There's no red line for you because you're through whatever happens.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Let's see if Mainz is a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said Mainz.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30It's right! Very well done, Karl.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Very well done indeed!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39That's a pointless answer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £11,750.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49It scores you nothing and leaves your score at 44.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Very, very well done. Mainz, Richard.- Excellent play.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Mainz is the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg, amongst other things.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Kevin, you're on 26. Doesn't matter what you score, you are through
0:25:02 > 0:25:04to the next round. What are you thinking?
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Well, I'm going to have a wee look at the Bundesliga as well
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and just take a stab at one of them being a city,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- and go for Schalke.- Schalke.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Let's see if Schalke is right and if so, how many people said it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22No...
0:25:22 > 0:25:24An incorrect answer but doesn't matter at all,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27it scores you 100, takes your total to 126,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29you're still through to the head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Another German football team, Schalke 04, but Schalke is a district of Gelsenkirchen,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36which would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40If you wanted to raid the Bundesliga, you'll be gutted to hear the following...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Leverkusen, pointless answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Wolfsburg, pointless answer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Bremen, 1 point. And worst of all, Monchengladbach, 4 points.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Really?- All of those cities. All of them cities.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Sorry about that. Let's see some more pointless answers.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Aachen. I'm going to hazard a guess and say, of all the cities in the world,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00that is first in alphabetical order. Bayreuth, which holds
0:26:00 > 0:26:04the famous Wagner festival. Hamelin, Pied Piper fame,
0:26:04 > 0:26:05all those pointless.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Koblenz, pointless. That's my favourite, Amberg,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11which is like Hamburg for Cockneys. That's pointless.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Potsdam, pointless.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Lots of names you've heard of. Trier, Ulm and Worms.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Reminds me of the old joke, who's the most unpopular man
0:26:19 > 0:26:22on the terraces at Borussia Monchengladbach?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The man who goes, "Give me a B!"
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Let's take a look at our top answers now,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33These would have been the worst answers to give. Hamburg, 45.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We've already heard. Munich, at 48, and right at the top, Berlin,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38as you'd expect, with 88.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43- Well done if you got a pointless answer. Neil, where did you work in Germany?- I worked in Freiburg.- Ah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Otherwise known as the city of Freiburg,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47would have been a pointless answer!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49AUDIENCE GROANS
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- But you're through anyway. - Thanks, Richard.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54After Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56it's Paul and Stephanie.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I was toying with Aachen then thought, "Too small, that's a town.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01"That's almost a village."
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Oh dear, ah well. Well, you made very good account of yourselves,
0:27:05 > 0:27:10it's been much better. Round One last time, Round Two this time.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It's been great having you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:18For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting
0:27:18 > 0:27:20as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Congratulations, Neil and Karl, Fiona and Kevin,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31you are one round away from the final
0:27:31 > 0:27:37and the chance to win our jackpot, which currently stands at £11,750.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Clearly, only one pair can play for that money.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45To decide which pair it's going to be,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49you're now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51The first pair to win two questions
0:27:51 > 0:27:55will be playing for that jackpot and you are now, of course, allowed to confer.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57OK, let's play head-to-head.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01APPLAUSE
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13We're going to show you some stills or publicity shots
0:28:13 > 0:28:16from five classic Best Picture Oscar winners.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Can you name the most obscure, please?
0:28:18 > 0:28:24OK, thank you very much. Let's reveal our five Best Picture Oscar-winning films.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Here they are. We've got...
0:28:40 > 0:28:43There we are. Now then, Neil and Karl,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46you have played best throughout the show so far
0:28:46 > 0:28:50so you get to go first. There are your five stills.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52You've got to name the film you think the fewest
0:28:52 > 0:28:56of our 100 people knew. They're all Best Picture Oscar winners.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- WHISPERS:- Hamlet, Schindler's List, Gone With The Wind... I don't know the last two.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Neil and Karl, looks like you've got an answer.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10The board's OK, there are three I know, that I hope I know!
0:29:10 > 0:29:14I'll go for a bit of a gamble and say A is Hamlet.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16A, Hamlet.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20A, Hamlet, say Neil and Karl.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Fiona and Kevin, you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26We think C is Casablanca.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28We think D is Gone With The Wind.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32And we're going to go with C being Casablanca.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35C, Casablanca, say Fiona and Kevin.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39So, Neil and Karl have said that A is Hamlet.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44let's see how many people knew that answer. A, Hamlet.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Very well done, it's a good gamble.
0:29:51 > 0:29:5218.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- Are you happy with that?- Very.- 18.
0:29:59 > 0:30:0218 is your score. Fiona and Kevin. C, Casablanca, you are saying.
0:30:02 > 0:30:0618 is the score you have to beat. What do you think?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- No.- Not so sure about getting this.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11OK, let's see. Casablanca, is it right for C? If it is,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13how many people said Casablanca?
0:30:14 > 0:30:15It's right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Still going down.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Ooh, 29!
0:30:21 > 0:30:22APPLAUSE
0:30:24 > 0:30:2829, not a bad score, but sadly not good enough to beat Neil and Karl,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32which means, after one question, Neil and Karl are 1-0 up.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Both won Oscars in the '40s, those two films.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Starring and directed by Laurence Olivier, Hamlet.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40B, that is Schindler's List.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Schindler's List would have scored you 12 points.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47C is Casablanca.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51D is the only Hitchcock film ever to win Best Picture Oscar.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52It's Rebecca.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56That would have scored you two points, the best answer on the board.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- E, that's Marlon Brando, do you know the film?- On The Waterfront.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03On The Waterfront, that would have scored 21.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Well done if you got five, particularly if you got Rebecca.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Fiona and Kevin, you need to win this question
0:31:11 > 0:31:13to stay in the game.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Here it comes, it concerns...
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Richard.- For this question, we'll give you five clues
0:31:20 > 0:31:21to facts about Charles Darwin.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Which is the most obscure? - Thank you very much.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Let's reveal our five clues.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I'll read those all one more time.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09OK, there are your five clues.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Now, Fiona and Kevin, you have to win this question
0:32:13 > 0:32:16to stay in the game. You get to answer first.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We're not 100% sure about any of these.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Which one will we go for?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Town of birth? I'm not even sure what country he comes from
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- but I'm going to go for Perth. - Perth. Town of birth, Perth.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- LAUGHTER - Neil and Karl,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Fiona and Kevin have said Perth as the town of his birth.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40You can answer any of those questions. If you think Perth
0:32:40 > 0:32:42is incorrect, you can also submit an answer for that.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We're arguing...not arguing, discussing over two.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Ship, we're arguing, I'll stop saying arguing!
0:32:49 > 0:32:52For the ship, we're considering it was the Mayflower?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I'm not convinced.- Something in the back of my head says Mayflower.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00We're going to play it safe and say the denomination of the Bank Of England note first issued in 2000
0:33:00 > 0:33:05- was...shall we go for £10?- Yes.- Yes.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09£10, you're saying that's the denomination of note
0:33:09 > 0:33:11on which he appeared in 2000.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17Fiona and Kevin said Perth was the town of his birth. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Perth.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Oh, no! Fiona and Kevin, this was the one you had to win.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Which means, Neil and Karl,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28you merely have to be correct to win this point and this round
0:33:28 > 0:33:30and be through to the final.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33OK, Neil and Karl are saying it's a £10 note he appears on.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38£10 note.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Yep, you've done it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Very well done.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Ooh, it's a low score as well. Look at that!
0:33:45 > 0:33:479! 9.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49APPLAUSE
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Very well done, Neil and Karl.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You have won that, which means, after two questions,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59you are through to the final in straight sets, 2-0.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Richard.- Good job you went for that cos Mayflower wouldn't have been a correct answer.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's the HMS Beagle, that would have scored you 34 points.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Place of worship in which he is buried, Westminster Abbey,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12that would have scored 19. The town of his birth, not Perth,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14it's Shrewsbury.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Shrewsbury, 5 points.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19But he did spend a lot of his time in Scotland
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and he dropped out of a medical degree at Edinburgh.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25That would have scored 4, the best answer on the board.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Well done if you got all five.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Thank you. The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Fiona and Kevin. You made it to the head-to-head last time
0:34:34 > 0:34:36and actually that was 1-1, wasn't it?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39So it was quite close. I'm afraid this time,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42you've come up against the Neil and Karl phenomenon,
0:34:42 > 0:34:47as they make their way through Pointless on a stealth raid.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Fiona, Kevin, it's been great having you on the show. We have to say goodbye, thanks for playing.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53APPLAUSE
0:34:55 > 0:34:58But for Neil and Karl, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Congratulations, Neil and Karl. You fought off all the competition
0:35:07 > 0:35:09and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £11,750.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:26 > 0:35:28That's how you do it, you've come into Pointless,
0:35:28 > 0:35:32you were the lowest scorers in the first round, second round,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35straight sets victory in the head-to-head.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Straight through. You made very quick, seemingly easy, work of it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43The rules are simple. To win that £11,750,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51You only have to find one more and you will go home with that money.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55First, you've got to choose a category. You have a choice of five.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Here they are.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- First look at the board, Karl knows what I want to go for.- Yeah.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Sport would be good but golf isn't really a strength, is it?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I think indie music I'd be pretty good at
0:36:12 > 0:36:17unless it's post-2005 and then I'd have to say Arctic Monkeys to everything.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- What are you thinking, Karl? - Join us!
0:36:20 > 0:36:24I've got some knowledge of indie music but Neil might be
0:36:24 > 0:36:25taking the lead on this!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28OK, are you happy?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Thrilled.- Thrilled.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31LAUGHTER
0:36:31 > 0:36:35You're going to go for indie music, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of The Smiths'
0:36:40 > 0:36:42UK Top 40 singles as they could.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Richard.- We're looking for any single released by The Smiths
0:36:45 > 0:36:49that reached the UK Top 40 prior to the beginning of 2012.
0:36:49 > 0:36:55As always with our music questions, we'll be strict on the wording of names, EPs don't count.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Anything released by The Smiths or which has them as a featured artist.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06All you need to win that £11,750 is for just one of those answers
0:37:06 > 0:37:10to be pointless. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15I literally...I've drawn an absolute blank.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19There's Strangeways, Here We Come but is that an album or a single?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20This is all on you.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24There's all the obvious ones, like This Charming Man. Loads that had really long titles.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- This is all new to me... Oh, no! - Oh dear.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Er, so...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Maybe ones you think are obvious, aren't so obvious.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40This Charming Man is right but not pointless but we'll have to say it.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42What else have we got?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Meat Is Murder. I know Smiths' albums!
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- That's a start.- I don't think Meat Is Murder is a song.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50We'll have to go for it, though.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Er...
0:37:57 > 0:37:58I'm singing in my head
0:37:58 > 0:38:01but I'm coming round with This Charming Man every time.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Er...- 10 seconds.- Strangeways, Here We Come, Meat Is Murder, they're at least albums.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- That'll do.- This Charming Man unless anything springs to mind.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Time is up, OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22I thought that smile of yours was because you were bursting with ideas.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I was bursting into flames, Alexander.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27We were looking for UK Top 40 singles by The Smiths.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I now need your three answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32This Charming Man is correct, that's a start.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'm going to say Strangeways, Here We Come.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- Strangeways, Here We Come.- And Meat Is Murder. They're probably albums.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43You know the last two are names of albums, you're hoping they're also names of singles.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Strangeways, Here We Come is the one I thought most likely to be a single
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- so that one if it's right. - OK, we'll put that one last.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Which do you think is your least likely?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- This Charming Man. - This Charming Man, there we are.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Let's put them up on the board and here they are.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09We were looking for UK Top 40 singles by The Smiths.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Your first answer, your least likely shot at a pointless answer,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15This Charming Man.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot
0:39:19 > 0:39:23of £11,750. Let's see, This Charming Man, is it right?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26How many people said it? This Charming Man.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27It's right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32It's right, if this goes down to zero,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35you leave here with £11,750.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Down it goes into the teens.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Oh! And just into single figures.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43APPLAUSE
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Unfortunately, not a pointless answer
0:39:47 > 0:39:50which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53What would you do, Karl, with £11,750?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Er, me and my girlfriend want to see a bit of Europe in the summer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Neil, what about you?- I always planned, if we got this far,
0:40:00 > 0:40:05I'd say, "It's not about the money." But that would be quite nice.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It seems a moot point now.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11OK, let's see. We're looking for UK Top 40 singles by The Smiths.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Your next answer, Meat Is Murder.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18You know this is an album, you're hoping it was also a single.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24If it's both of those things, you leave here with £11,750.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27How many people said Meat Is Murder? Is it right?
0:40:28 > 0:40:33No, bad luck. Not a single. You only have one more chance
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- to win today's jackpot.- I've got loads of singles in my head now!
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- I knew you would.- If we could just roll back, that'd be great.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Yeah, can we re-take?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48OK, we are looking for The Smiths' UK Top 40 singles.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Your final answer, the one you thought
0:40:50 > 0:40:54was your best shot at a pointless answer, was Strangeways, Here We Come.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said it.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Oh, bad luck!
0:41:01 > 0:41:04APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17so you don't win today's jackpot of £11,750
0:41:17 > 0:41:19which we'll roll over onto the next show
0:41:19 > 0:41:23but you have been brilliant contestants, you really have.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26You do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Hey.- Hey.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36This is the horrid bit. Richard.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Unlucky, guys, you played terrifically throughout.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41On Twitter, this is the question I get asked most,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44when are you going to do Smiths' Top 40 singles? You've thought of others since?
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I'd switch the two wrong ones out with The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
0:41:48 > 0:41:50and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55The Boy With The Thorn In His Side would have scored 2 points and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now,
0:41:55 > 0:41:588 points, so you still wouldn't be walking away with the money.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Strangeways, Here We Come was just an album.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Meat Is Murder was a track on the album Meat Is Murder, not a released single.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Meat Is Murder was a number-one album.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Let's see the three pointless answers,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11well done if you said any of these.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I Started Something I Couldn't Finish, from Strangeways, Here We Come,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17as was Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Shakespeare's Sister, the only other pointless answer up there.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Everything else scored at least two points. Well played,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26and well done to anyone who got one of those pointless answers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Do you recognise any of those pointless ones?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Seeing those three lessens the blow slightly, only marginally.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37- About the size of a Pointless trophy.- Unfortunately, we have to
0:42:37 > 0:42:40say goodbye to you but it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Thank you both so much for playing, Neil and Karl!
0:42:43 > 0:42:46APPLAUSE
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Neil and Karl didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:49 > 0:42:51so it rolls over, which means, on the next show,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55we'll be playing for £12,750.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
