0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:30Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless, the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:40Welcome, Adrian and Amy. You are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- How do you know each other? - We've been married for ten years.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Where are you from, Amy? - We're from Belfast.- What do you do?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I work for Royal National Institute of Blind People in Northern Ireland.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- The charity for blind people. - And Adrian, what do you do?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00I work for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I'm a fireman in Belfast. - Two VERY good people!
0:01:04 > 0:01:09What would you like to see come up, Adrian? What would be good for you?
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- Science fiction literature, maybe? - Amy, what would be a good area for you?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I have a secret weapon.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21I have a zombie plan, so any questions about zombies...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Really? How come you're so good on zombies?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I believe you should know your enemy, be prepared.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- I have a plan in place.- What? For zombies or for...?- Oh, yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- Really? What do you do with zombies? - If I told you, I've have to kill you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- LAUGHTER - I think you should tell him!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45LAUGHTER
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But be prepared! I'm the Boy Scout of zombies.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- UNSURE:- OK.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Adrian and Amy, very best of luck. Next, we welcome Fred and Paul.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- How do you know each other? - Well, he's my son.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- I've known him for all bar about ten seconds of his life. - You were ten seconds late?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10No, I was there. I was there, but I wasn't at the business end.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- I see. OK. OK. - LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Where are you from, Paul?- We're from Chesterfield in Derbyshire.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- What do you do, Fred? - I'm a bus driver, for my sins.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- In Chesterfield itself?- Yeah. - Paul, how about you?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- I'm a civil servant.- Can I ask what area of civil service?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I've been told not to say. - LAUGHTER
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Oh!- He's so involved in the zombie invasion, isn't he?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- LAUGHTER - Any categories you don't want, Fred?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Soaps.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- All the soaps?- Yes, basically.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- EastEnders, I've never watched an episode.- Paul, what about you?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Politics and soaps, classical music. - Right you are.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00We'll see what the big man's got in store. Very best of luck, Fred and Paul.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- Next, we welcome Brian and Lisa. How do you know each other? - Lisa's my younger daughter.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11We've known each other for nearly 30 years. She's been a constant annoyance.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Lisa, where are you from?- Caerphilly in Wales.- And what do you do?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I'm a chef. He's my boss.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- As well.- We work together as well.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27- So what do you do, Brian?- I run the pub. It's a pub restaurant. - Right you are.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- How long have you done that for, Lisa?- 12 years, on the books. Off the books, since I was six!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Have you got any tactics for the show today?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I'm going to go first so Dad can mop up after me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Is that standard practice?- Yes. - Standard procedure!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Well, very, very best of luck. Hope it works for you, Brian and Lisa.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Finally, we've got James and John. How do you know each other?
0:03:54 > 0:04:00We're both studying masters in journalism at Staffordshire University.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I met John because I took him out on his first news story.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We covered a story together and have been really good mates ever since.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- What was the story?- It was a story about Gillian McKeith, wasn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Penelope Keith.- That's the one!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- But Gillian McKeith? - It was my first story.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I was young, ambitious, naive.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- You didn't write anything down.- No. - LAUGHTER
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- What would you like to see come up? - Not musicals.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34Anything other than musicals. If musicals comes up, we might be reduced to tears.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Very best of luck, John and James.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41We'll find out more about all of you later. There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46While he gives out obscure facts, under the desk, he's pedalling away
0:04:46 > 0:04:49to provide electricity for a small orphanage in Rutland.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:04:59 > 0:05:05- How are you?- I'm very well.- We've got four new pairs again today.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We've had a run of that recently. And a pretty big jackpot as well.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- It's getting excitingly high. - Yeah. It is.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16A couple of interesting, quite unusual rounds on today's show.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21First one is, "What do we all think Paul does for a living?"
0:05:21 > 0:05:28And round two is, "What happens if you cut the head off a zombie and it refuses to die?" That's round two.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36We are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our players need to score as few points as possible.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54Then we add £250 to the jackpot. Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Right, if everybody's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19In the first round, each of you gives me one answer, and you cannot confer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Our first category this afternoon is... It's Words.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going second?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46OK, so our question concerns...
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- "Ologies", Richard?- We're going to give you a list of "ologies",
0:06:53 > 0:06:56which are obviously fields of study.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01You have to tell us what field of study relates to these "ologies",
0:07:01 > 0:07:03a one-word succinct answer.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Adrian and Amy, you drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10"Ologies", Amy, that's what we're looking for.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And here we have our first seven "ologies". They are...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24..I'll read them one more time...
0:07:34 > 0:07:39..You're trying to find one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Amy, what are you going to say? - I'm going to say,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- trichology for hair. - Let's see if that's right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49If it is, how many people knew that answer? Hair for trichology.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52It's right!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01APPLAUSE
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- 22 for trichology.- Well played, Amy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09A study of the structure, functions and diseases of the hair.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And what to do with zombie hair.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes. What DO you do with zombie hair?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20You cut it off and bury it at a crossroads.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- LAUGHTER - Zombie hair is quite unmanageable.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29You need a conditioner and a thickener before you dry as well.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Paul.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36I know... Well, I think... I thought I knew a couple of them.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41The actual definition's eluding me. I'll have to go for ichthyology.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- And fish. - Ichthyology and fish, says Paul.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It is right.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59APPLAUSE
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- 11 for ichthyology.- Well done, Paul.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09They discover three new species of fish every week, on average.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- They're busy, the ichthyologists. - Do they really?- Yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Three new ones a week?- Yeah. - Where are they looking?- Right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- I'm going to say in the water.- OK. - LAUGHTER
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Lisa.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30I don't know any of them, but I'm going to take an educated guess.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Graphology. Graphs? Maps.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Graphology, maps, says Lisa.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew graphology was maps.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Bad luck, Lisa. That's an incorrect answer. You score 100 points.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I'm sorry.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- Richard.- Sorry, Lisa. It's not maps. The study of maps is cartography.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Now, James. We are looking for a one-word answer to what these
0:09:58 > 0:10:00"ologies" are.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Having an absolute mare.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Chromatology, I think.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Just gonna go with metal.- OK.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Chrome is a metal.- Yeah.- OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17Chromatology, says James. Metal. Is that right? How many people knew that answer?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24That's an incorrect answer. You score 100 points.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Richard.- Yeah, sorry. Not metal.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Chromatology is a study of the Norfolk seaside town of Cromer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33LAUGHTER
0:10:33 > 0:10:38It's not at all. It's the study of colours and colour.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Lisa, graphology is the study of handwriting.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Ornithology, Alexander?- Birds. - Absolutely right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Seismology?- Earthquakes. - Absolutely right. Another big score.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Hippology?- I guess it's horses. - It is horses.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02That scored 13. Very well done if you got all seven at home.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores. Paul and Fred.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Ichthyology. Great answer, as it turns out, Paul. The lowest score.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Then we go up to 22, where we find Amy and Adrian.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Then we go up a long way to 100 - Lisa, Brian, James and John.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25You are neck-and-neck, so it's going to be between Brian and John
0:11:25 > 0:11:28to see who stays with us, I would imagine.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Can the second players please take their places at the podiums?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35OK, we are looking for "ologies".
0:11:35 > 0:11:39We're going to put seven more "ologies" on the board.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41We have got...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51..I'll read those one more time...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01..There we are. Vexillology.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We are looking for the fields of study associated with them.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08You're trying to find one the fewest of our 100 people knew. John.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11You're high-scorers. We have to do something about this.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16We need a nice low-scoring answer. Do you know any of those "ologies"?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I think...I know two.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21They'd both be educated guesses.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I don't know them for certain.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm going to take a guess and say osteology.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Bones.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33How many of our 100 people said osteology, bones?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's right!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43APPLAUSE
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Not bad. Takes your total up to 136. Richard.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Might have kept yourself in it! The structure and function of bones.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- That's what they do. Human bones, animal bones.- Dem bones!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- All sorts of bones.- The bones.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04- An ichthyosteologist is somebody who looks into fish bones. - LAUGHTER
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Thanks very much, Richard. The round is hanging on your answer, Brian.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Everything decided by your next utterance.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16We are looking for the fields of study described by these "ologies".
0:13:16 > 0:13:21I think I know a couple of those. Not guaranteed.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- We need to get down fairly low... - The high-scorers are John and James.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31You're still on 100. A score of 35 or less is necessary.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Conchology. I think that's shells. - Conchology, shells.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The second one down. Conchology, shells.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42If you get below that line you're through to the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Let's see if conchology's right and how many people said it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You've done it!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57APPLAUSE
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Takes you up to 121.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06Well played, Brian. It's one aspect of malacology, the study of molluscs.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Do you think concholoichthyologists are shellfish?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Yes, I think they're a bit shellfish but some are quite giving.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Fred, you are through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Even if you score 100 points, you will not overtake John and James.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- So have some fun with our "ologies". - I'll go for campanology.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Bells.- Campanology, bells, says Fred. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37If it is, how many people said it? No red line for you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Campanology, bells.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47APPLAUSE
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Quite a popular "ology". Takes your total up to 64.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Richard.- It's a word that people have sort of heard of.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00Statistically, someone will be going, "Campanology? That rings a bell."
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It's nice, isn't it? Somebody will.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So, then. Adrian and Amy.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You're on 22. Even if you score 100 points,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12you are through to the next round. Let's have an answer from you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- Talk us through the board.- There's not many I could talk you through.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23I think haematology is the study of blood.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Good for zombies. Haematology, blood, says Adrian.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said haematology, blood.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- APPLAUSE - That takes your total up to 91.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Richard.- Well played. Very good end to the round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Oenology.- Wine.- Absolutely.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Sinology?- I'm guessing Chinese. - Well, China.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Vexillology is the best answer on the board.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- I have a feeling this is flags. - Your feeling is correct.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07If you got all of those on both passes, very, very well done.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12So at the end of first round, the losing pair with the highest score
0:16:12 > 0:16:14is James and John - a great score!
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- 136!- Be good if we were playing darts.- Yeah. Yes.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Not so good on Pointless.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27John, James, it was a tough round for you but we'll see you next time,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29when I'm sure you'll do much better.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Thanks so much for playing, John and James. - APPLAUSE
0:16:36 > 0:16:39For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one of the teams will be leaving us.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Our category for round two is...
0:16:57 > 0:17:02..Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16..as they could.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The name of any country which has hosted a FIFA World Cup tournament
0:17:19 > 0:17:23and also the year in which they hosted it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Any nation that's hosted the World Cup. If they've hosted it more than once, we'll take either year.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Very best of luck.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36What is the most obscure FIFA World Cup tournament you can think of?
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Amy, once again, you are going first. Is this a terrible question?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45This is an absolutely awful question for me.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I don't know anything about football.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I'm going to have to have just a mad guess.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57I'll say...Cameroon in 1974!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Cameroon, 1974.- Absolutely.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- The Zombie World Cup! - LAUGHTER
0:18:06 > 0:18:11OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Cameroon 1974.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Bad luck!
0:18:15 > 0:18:20That's an incorrect answer. You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Paul.- Um...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I've got a couple, but they'll be fairly high.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I'm going to go for 2002, with South Korea and Japan.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said 2002 South Korea and Japan.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Great answer, Paul.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Down it goes. Very well done!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50APPLAUSE
0:18:50 > 0:18:52That'll do!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- South Korea and Japan. - Good answer, Paul.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Brazil beat Germany in the final.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Lisa, a nice obscure FIFA World Cup tournament.- Y-yes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07One that's going to score you as few points as possible.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I think I know when the first one was, but I don't want to risk it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I'm not sure of the date. I know the country.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I'm going to say the one just gone, 2010, South Africa.
0:19:20 > 0:19:27- 2010, South Africa.- Yeah.- Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said 2010, South Africa.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It's right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Perfectly good answer. Not a bad score at all.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Well done, Lisa. First ever African host nation.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Or second, if you count Cameroon.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53At the end of the round, I'll ask you what you thought for the first one.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Paul and Fred looking extremely strong.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Then Lisa and Brian on 23. Then up to 100,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08where we find Amy and Adrian - the pressure is on you, Adrian.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13You've got to find a really low-scoring answer and hope that's enough.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24We're looking for FIFA World Cup tournaments. Now, Brian!
0:20:24 > 0:20:29You're on 23. 100 is the high score, Adrian and Amy over there.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33If you score 76 or less, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I've got one in mind, but I'm not certain about the year.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I'm going to go Italy 1980.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45There is your red line. Below that, you're through. Italy 1980.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Is that right? How many people said it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Ooh!
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Brian! I'm so sorry. That's an incorrect answer.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Takes your total up to 123.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04It scores the maximum of 100 points. Fred, you are through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08The high score of 123 is out of reach, even if you score 100 points.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I can think of the first one, but I'm not certain.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15I'm going to go for 1954, Switzerland.
0:21:15 > 0:21:191954, Switzerland. No red line for you. Let's see if it's right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21If it is, how many people said it?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It's right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I imagine this will be a lovely low score.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32And it is!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34APPLAUSE
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I'm sorry it wasn't pointless. It's the next best thing.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Well played, Fred.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45They called the final "the miracle of Bern" when West Germany beat Hungary.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- They hadn't lost for 31 games before that.- Adrian.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53You're on 100. The high-scorers are Brian and Lisa on 123.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57This is very exciting. Your answer decides the outcome of this round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02I THINK Mexico in 1976.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06It may be an answer. I'm hoping it's an answer!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Was there a World Cup in Mexico in 1976?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12If you get below that red line, Adrian and Amy,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15you are through to the next round. Mexico, 1976.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Is it going to do it for you?
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Bad luck. That is an incorrect answer and scores you 100 points.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Takes your total up to 200.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Richard. Sorry, Adrian, no World Cup in 1976.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Mexico did hold it in 1970 and in 1986.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So if you put them together, you've kind of got a right answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Brian, no World Cup in '80. It's Italia '90.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Lisa, what were you going to go for for the first World Cup?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Uruguay or Paraguay. I think it's Uruguay. 1934?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Fred, were you going to have a go? - 1930, Uruguay.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Absolutely right. Would have scored four points.- Good effort.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02A couple of pointless answers...
0:23:06 > 0:23:14- ..Very well done if you said those. How many people do you think said England, 1966?- 100.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- 29.- No? 29?- Yeah. - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- Wow.- And that 29 for England was the top answer, as you might imagine.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Very low, isn't it?- Yeah. Very.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Very low, indeed. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31it's Adrian and Amy.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Oh, dear, oh, dear! 200, though!
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It's a good score to go out on. You join our illustrious 200 Club.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- And zombies didn't come up, Amy. - Maybe next time.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Maybe next time.
0:23:45 > 0:23:52Adrian and Amy, we look forward to seeing you next time, when I hope you'll do better.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Adrian and Amy. - APPLAUSE
0:23:57 > 0:24:03For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Congratulations, Fred and Paul, Brian and Lisa.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16You are only one round away from the chance to play for the jackpot,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20which currently stands at £12,750.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Clearly, only one pair can play for that money,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31so you're now going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41And you are now allowed to confer. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47OK, here comes your first question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And it concerns...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55..People with hyphenated surnames. Richard.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01We'll show you five pictures of people with double-barrelled surnames.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Can you name the most obscure? I need first name and surname. I mean surnames. Very best of luck.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Let's reveal our five people with hyphenated surnames.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14And here they come...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31..There you are. You have five people with hyphenated surnames.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33We would like you to name the one
0:25:33 > 0:25:37you think the fewest of our 100 people recognised.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Fred and Paul, because you've played best throughout, you go first.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44THEY WHISPER
0:25:46 > 0:25:48We'll go for C,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Fred and Paul say that C is Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Brian and Lisa, you can talk us through all the others,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01then submit the one you would like to answer with.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- A.- Sophie Ellis-Bextor. I'm out. - I'm not sure about them either.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I know the face of B. I can't think of his name.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- So we've got to go with A.- Yeah. - A, Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Sophie Ellis-Bextor, A, you are saying.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Fred and Paul are saying that C is Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yup. It's right.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35APPLAUSE
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Tara Palmer-Tomkinson scored 39.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Now, Brian and Lisa say A,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Let's see if that's right.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If it is, how many people said it. 39, the score you have to beat.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's right.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Ooh! 41! - APPLAUSE
0:26:59 > 0:27:03FRED: I'm surprised. I thought you were going to beat that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09Fred and Paul astounded that they managed to win this with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Fred and Paul are ahead, one-nil. Richard.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17The two highest scoring answers on the board there.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21B is Adam Hart-Davis, the broadcaster and writer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24D. Do you recognise D?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Gosh! Newton-John. - It's never.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- Olivia Newton-John.- Just got it! - AUDIENCE GASPS
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Would have been a great answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38E, one of the greatest female athletes of all time.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Heptathlete, long jumper. Six Olympic medals, three golds.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47The American, Jackie Joyner-Kersee. That's a pointless answer.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Very well done if you got that. - Thank you very much, indeed.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55So here comes your second question, and it concerns...
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- ..Richard.- We're going to show you five Madonna UK Top 40 singles,
0:28:04 > 0:28:08but we're only going to give you the initials.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Can you name the most obscure of them?- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Before I reveal those Madonna songs, Brian and Lisa,
0:28:16 > 0:28:23I remind you that you have to win this question to stay in the game. £12,750 is riding on it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Here they come.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And we have got...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40..I'll read them one more time...
0:28:48 > 0:28:50..Brian and Lisa, you go first.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52THEY WHISPER
0:28:52 > 0:28:56We're going to go for ITG, Into The Groove.
0:28:56 > 0:29:03Into The Groove. OK. Into The Groove say Brian and Lisa.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Fred and Paul? - Do you know any of the others?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08You can talk us through the board.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12If you win this question, you go through to the final.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16CAC looks familiar, but I don't know.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I only know PDP. - It's the only one I know.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23We have to go for PDP, Papa Don't Preach.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27So we have Into The Groove from Brian and Lisa,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30and Papa Don't Preach from Fred and Paul.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Brian and Lisa first with Into The Groove, ITG.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47APPLAUSE
0:29:50 > 0:29:5319 for Into The Groove. Happy with that?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Is it good enough to keep you in the game?- Yeah.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- SNIGGERING - Fred and Paul agree!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Papa Don't Preach, PDP.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10It's right.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Wow! - APPLAUSE
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- 49. - See? We don't know everything!
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Which means, after two questions, you are absolutely even, one-all.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25CAC is the real killer answer.
0:30:25 > 0:30:31Let's look at the rest of them. V, Vogue. A pretty high-scorer.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- DCFMA, Xander, you know that one? - No.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- It's from a musical.- Ah!
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. - That was 13 points.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45That would have won you the point. CAC, best answer on the board.
0:30:45 > 0:30:52From the soundtrack to Who's That Girl? Causing A Commotion.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- Very well done if you got that. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Here comes your third question, the exciting part of the head-to-head.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05This decides who goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot
0:31:05 > 0:31:08of £12,750.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Here it comes.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It concerns...
0:31:13 > 0:31:15..The space race.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- Richard.- We're giving you five clues to facts about the space race.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Which of these is the most obscure, to get yourselves into the final?
0:31:24 > 0:31:29Five facts about the space race. Here come five clues.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And they are...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45..I'll read those all again...
0:31:54 > 0:31:58..There are your five clues to facts about lunar travel.
0:31:58 > 0:32:06- Fred and Paul, you go first again. - THEY WHISPER
0:32:06 > 0:32:11- We're going to go for "first dog to orbit the Earth", Laika.- Laika,
0:32:11 > 0:32:15say Fred and Paul, for the first dog to orbit the Earth.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20Brian and Lisa, you can talk us through all the other answers.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- Laika was going to be my answer. - That was it.- We knew Laika.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Russian equivalent of astronaut.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Sea of Tranquillity.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- That'll be fairly popular, though. - I think they all will.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35We'll go for "lunar sea where the Eagle landed".
0:32:35 > 0:32:37We're going with Tranquillity.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41OK, the Sea of Tranquillity say Brian and Lisa
0:32:41 > 0:32:45as the lunar sea where the Eagle landed.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47This is very exciting,
0:32:47 > 0:32:52the deciding question between the father-and-son team from Chesterfield
0:32:52 > 0:32:54and the father-and-daughter team from Caerphilly.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Fred and Paul went with Laika, the name of the first dog to orbit the Earth.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Is it right? How many people said Laika?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It's right.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13APPLAUSE
0:33:15 > 0:33:1820 for Laika. That's quite high.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24- Higher than I was expecting. - I was thinking it would be lower.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29Brian and Lisa said the Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquillity.
0:33:29 > 0:33:36Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. 20 is the score to beat to get a place in the final.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42It's right.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49APPLAUSE
0:33:51 > 0:33:5638 for the Sea of Tranquillity, which means, after three questions,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Fred and Paul are through to the final, two-one.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Big score, 38. 20's quite a big score for Laika.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07For that one, at least, Madonna did write a Top 40 single.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Laika.- "Laika Virgin".
0:34:10 > 0:34:14About the first dog in space. One answer would have won the point.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Year of the last mission to the moon. Did you know that one?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- '76?- '72.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Well done if you said that at home.
0:34:25 > 0:34:32- Second man on the moon scored less than Sea of Tranquillity.- Really?
0:34:32 > 0:34:38And the Russian equivalent of astronaut...
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Well done anybody who got all 15 answers in the head-to-head.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46Thank you, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I'm afraid it's Brian and Lisa.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But we will see you again next time.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Meanwhile, thanks so much for playing. Thank you.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57APPLAUSE
0:34:57 > 0:35:01But for Fred and Paul, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Congratulations, you fought off all the competition
0:35:11 > 0:35:15and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:20 > 0:35:28You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, and at the end of today's show, it stands at £12,750.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:35:33 > 0:35:38You're now only three answers away from £12,750.
0:35:38 > 0:35:44The rules are very simple. To win that money, you have to find a pointless answer, just one.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48We haven't had any today. Find one, and you will go home with the money.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53First, you've got to choose a category from these five options...
0:35:59 > 0:36:03It's going to be London or animated films, I think.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Not horse racing. I'm not up to horse racing.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Don't listen to the radio much.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Animated films? You'd be more with animated films than London.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18It's one of the bottom two.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Animated films. - You're going for animated films.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27If you had to nominate an area, what would it be? What would be a great question?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Pixar? Disney?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- Yeah, characters from films, maybe. - Yeah.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Toy Story voice actors as they could. Richard.
0:36:45 > 0:36:53Any actor or actress credited with providing a voice performance in any of the Toy Story films.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56They must be credited on IMDB as voicing a named character.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Any characters in any of the three Disney Pixar Toy Story movies.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05We need first names and surnames, please. Very best of luck.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11Thanks very much, Richard. You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16All you need to win that £12,750 is for one of those to be pointless.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- Are you ready?- As we'll ever be. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24There they are. And your time starts now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Right, John Ratzenberger. - John Ratzenberger.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Who was the person...? - Timothy Dalton.- Yeah.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Who played Flik in Bug's Life?
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Cos he did a cameo at the end of Toy Story 2.
0:37:38 > 0:37:45- Joan Cusack?- She'll be too high. - Kelsey Grammer.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Oh! Who plays Rex...? Plays...
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- the Grand Nagus in Star Trek.- Yeah.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00- I know who you mean. - Wallace Shawn.- Wallace Shawn.
0:38:00 > 0:38:06- You think Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer... - We'll keep Timothy Dalton.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- And John Ratzenberger?- Yeah, yeah.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- We can do.- Stick with those three?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Yeah, go on.- Stick with those three. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- You're happy?- Yes. - OK, we'll stop the clock.
0:38:18 > 0:38:24We were looking for Toy Story voice actors. I now need three answers.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- John Ratzenberger. - John Ratzenberger.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Timothy Dalton.- Timothy Dalton?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- And Wallace Shawn.- Wallace Shawn.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Wallace Shawn. - We'll put Wallace Shawn last.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Which is your least likely?- John Ratzenberger.- We'll put that first.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46We'll put those up on the board in that order...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53..There are your three answers.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57We were looking for voice actors from the Toy Story films.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Your first answer was John Ratzenberger, your least confident answer.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £12,750.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09John Ratzenberger, is it right?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13If it is, how many of our 100 people said John Ratzenberger?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It's right.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26you will leave here with £12,750.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33- Oh, look at that! One! - APPLAUSE
0:39:33 > 0:39:35One!
0:39:35 > 0:39:39John Ratzenberger, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Must have been one of those zombies.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43LAUGHTER
0:39:43 > 0:39:48It's looking very good for your next answer. Timothy Dalton?
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- He played Ken in the third one. - No, he didn't. Mr Prickly.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- The hedgehog.- Oh, he's the hedgehog!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Is he?- Yeah.- I had no idea.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04If you were to win the jackpot of £12,750,
0:40:04 > 0:40:07what would you do with it, Paul?
0:40:07 > 0:40:11I'd probably pay off my car and put the rest in savings for moving out.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Still got him at home!
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- OK! Fred, how about you?- Well, it's our 40th anniversary this year.
0:40:18 > 0:40:24- We're going abroad. Hopefully pay for a holiday to Peru.- Not me!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Not taking him!- I'm staying at home.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31We are looking for voice actors from the Toy Story films.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36You have two more answers that might win you that jackpot.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Timothy Dalton.
0:40:41 > 0:40:48This has to be right and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £12,750.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Timothy Dalton. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:56 > 0:40:57It is right.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Your first answer, John Ratzenberger, went down to one!
0:41:01 > 0:41:05If this takes you to zero, you leave with £12,750...
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Yes! You've done it! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Very, very well done.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Thank you very much. - Very good, indeed. Superb!
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Congratulations. Timothy Dalton was a pointless answer,
0:41:25 > 0:41:30which means you leave here with the jackpot of £12,750.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Wow! Richard.- Here's a sentence you never thought you'd hear.
0:41:40 > 0:41:46- Mr Pricklepants the hedgehog has just won you £12,750! - LAUGHTER
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Wallace Shawn, who played Rex, the guy from Princess Bride,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52would have scored you one point.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- AUDIENCE GROANS - Two ones and a zero!
0:41:55 > 0:42:00It's the zero that matters. Let's look at some other pointless answers...
0:42:03 > 0:42:07..John Lasseter is the Chief Creative Officer of Pixar.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Laurie Metcalfe plays the mum from Roseanne.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Michael Keaton plays Ken.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Ned Beatty plays the Lotso-hugs teddy.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18R. Lee Ermey is from Full Metal Jacket,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22the sergeant who does the extraordinary speech.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Whoopi Goldberg plays Stretch the octopus.
0:42:25 > 0:42:32A few others, Jeff Garlin, Wayne Knight are pointless. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Particularly well done to you guys. You played brilliantly throughout.
0:42:37 > 0:42:43Thanks to our winning players, Fred and Paul, who go away with today's jackpot of £12,750.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53Join us next time, to put more obscure knowledge to the test. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
