0:00:23 > 0:00:29Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, putting obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Welcome, Jenni and Andy. You are our first pair. How do you two know each other?
0:00:41 > 0:00:45We met because we're both interested in amateur dramatics.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- We're in a group on Hayling Island. - That's where you've come from?
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- Just outside Portsmouth. - What's Andy's best role been?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Ugly Sister in Cinderella! - OK. Andy, Jenni's?
0:00:58 > 0:01:03I would probably say Maggie in Hobson's Choice.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- So theatre is great for you. Maybe musical theatre?- Yeah.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09OK, very good indeed.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16What do you do, Jenni, when... Somebody said to me the other day, "I used to tread the floorboards"!
0:01:16 > 0:01:22- That's what I do every day! - What do you do when you're not treading the floorboards?
0:01:22 > 0:01:28I work in a doctor's surgery. I issue the prescriptions for the poorly people.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34- Andy?- I'm a police officer. For the last 5-6 years I've been seconded to the Youth Offending Team
0:01:34 > 0:01:41where we work with young people who've been sentenced at court and oversee their community orders.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Lovely to have you here.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50Next we welcome back James and John. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- This is your second chance. Remind us how you know each other. - We both went to uni together.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Remind us what happened last time. - I had a complete nightmare.- Yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Out in the first round.- Tough round.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10John, what would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:02:10 > 0:02:16British sitcoms. I watch a lot of Formula 1 as well so a bit of motorsport.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I should hold my own on that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24And I think... I think I could hold my own on UK politics as well.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30Great to have you here. Very best of luck. Next, we welcome back Brian and Lisa.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- You also were on last time. How do you know each other? - Father and daughter.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38What happened to you last time?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- We got to the Head to Head. - You didn't do badly.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47What are your interests, Brian? Do you have any clever little niche interests?
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- These can feed into people's Pointless expertise.- We don't have much time, but we travel a lot.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59And I'm a sort of mild adrenaline junkie. We like to go to odd places and do odd things.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- What's the oddest place you've been? - Probably the Arctic Circle.
0:03:03 > 0:03:11- Have you?- We stayed at the ice hotel for our 25th wedding anniversary.- Lisa, have you been?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15No,it was their 25th anniversary, so I wasn't invited.
0:03:15 > 0:03:22- They've taken me everywhere. Vegas was my favourite.- Win today and take your winnings to Vegas!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- I will!- Great to have you back. Very best of luck to you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Finally, we welcome back Adrian and Amy. Three returning pairs.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38- Remind us how you know each other. - We're husband and wife. We've been married for 11 years.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- And where are you from? - We're from Belfast.- From Belfast.
0:03:43 > 0:03:50- And what happened to you last time? - A question on sport got us absolutely 200'd out!
0:03:50 > 0:03:57- But, as we discovered last time, you know everything there is to know about zombies.- I do.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02They didn't come up. Sometimes they come up and come up and come up...
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- They just keep coming. - Yeah. Adrian, do you have any outlandish hobbies?
0:04:08 > 0:04:16I've recently got into mountain biking, so I've been out in a few of the forests trying it out.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Very good. Amy, do you go out with Adrian on his bike?- Certainly not!
0:04:21 > 0:04:27I record a talking newspaper for the blind. So that would be one of my hobbies.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33It's lovely to have you back. Very best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38There's only one person left. If obscurity were a dog, he'd be a thoroughbred
0:04:38 > 0:04:42with a lovely, shiny coat... and some unsavoury habits.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- LAUGHTER - It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Hiya. Hiya.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56We've got three returning pairs and only one new pair.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Every time that's happened - four times - the new pair has won.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So looking good for Jenni and Andy. Although, James and John,
0:05:05 > 0:05:12if we take them at their word, they'll have a spectacular first round. John knows UK politics
0:05:12 > 0:05:16and James said the same thing last time.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- Well, we're about to find out. - We'll look forward to that very much. Thanks, Richard.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:05:26 > 0:05:32but we are after the obscure answers they couldn't get. For a chance to win our jackpot,
0:05:32 > 0:05:38all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can. Everyone wants a pointless answer,
0:05:38 > 0:05:44that none of our 100 people knew. Each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:44 > 0:05:51Now Fred and Paul won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Give me an incorrect answer, you score the maximum 100 points.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19Try to avoid those if you can. OK, our first category is... the Government.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24The Government. Can you decide who goes first and who goes second?
0:06:24 > 0:06:29And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:35 > 0:06:42to name as many Labour members of Cabinet from 1997-2010 as they could. Richard?
0:06:42 > 0:06:49Yes, any MP or peer who had a seat in Gordon Brown's or Tony Blair's Cabinets, please.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55We won't accept Gordon Brown or Tony Blair or the names of any Attorney Generals
0:06:55 > 0:07:01but any Labour Cabinet Minister under Tony Blair or Gordon Brown.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09OK, Jenni and Andy, you all drew lots and today you get to go first.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Andy, there's a bit of a smile... - It's a grimace, I think!- Is it?
0:07:14 > 0:07:20It is. I'm struggling to think of many. The only one that's popped into my head,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23and I'll have to go with it, is Jack Straw.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29OK, let's see if Jack Straw is right and, if it is, how many people said Jack Straw.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's right.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Wow! Seven.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Seven. For Jack Straw.
0:07:45 > 0:07:52- Wow. That little heard of politician.- That won't be the last unexpectedly low score in the round.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57One of only three men to have served continually from 1997 to 2010.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary, Secretary of State for Justice.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07A fine, upstanding man with a long, honourable record and seven people... Seven!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10There's a lot of low scores.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Wowee. Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard. And so, John,
0:08:16 > 0:08:23what is the most obscure Labour member of the Cabinet from 1997 to 2010 that you can come up with?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28OK, I'm going to have to go for Alistair Darling.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Alistair Darling. Is that right and how many of our people said it?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Seven!
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Seven of them knew Alistair Darling. I suspect it was the same seven.
0:08:49 > 0:08:57- Richard?- He was one of the other people who served continually from 1997 to 2010 in the Cabinet.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- Jack Straw, Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown. - Thanks, Richard. Now, Lisa,
0:09:02 > 0:09:07we are looking for Labour members of Cabinet from 1997 to 2010.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12I'll say a name that I see on the telly who's important.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Boris Johnson. He's important.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21OK, Boris Johnson. Is it right? How many people said Boris Johnson?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25No! Bad luck, Lisa.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30I'm afraid BoJo, no no. That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:30 > 0:09:37- An incorrect answer. Richard? - Very, very much not a member of the Labour Cabinet.- He should be!
0:09:37 > 0:09:42If there are any politicians watching, this is quite humbling.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46There's got to be some brilliant pointless answers and a lot of them.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52- There are a lot of pointless politicians on this bit of paper. - LAUGHTER
0:09:52 > 0:09:56OK, here we go. Hear that, Adrian? Pointless politicians.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02Let's have a pointless answer. A member of the Labour Cabinet between 1997 and 2010.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08- I'm going to say John Prescott. - John Prescott says Adrian. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and how many people said it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's right.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2015!
0:10:23 > 0:10:2915 for John Prescott, which goes to show - if you want to be remembered, hit some people.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35He was Deputy Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Thanks. We're halfway through. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:38 > 0:10:45So, seven and seven, our low scorers are tied - Andy and Jenni, John and James.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Then we go up to 15 to Adrian and Amy. Then we hike up to 100 to find Lisa and Brian.
0:10:51 > 0:10:58- Which means, Brian, your only hope is that somebody else scores 100 and it's not you.- Not looking good.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You have to find a pointless answer.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12We're looking for Labour Cabinet members from 1997 to 2010.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16You want the one the fewest of our 100 people could think of.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Amy, Adrian did pretty well with 15. The high scorers are on 100.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25A score of 84 or less will see you into the next round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Mo Mowlam. Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40If Mo gets you below that red line, you are through to the next round. Is it right and how many said it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You're right!
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Wow! One!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55One for Mo Mowlam!
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Takes your total up to 16. Very well done. The lowest so far.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- Mo Mowlam!- Minister for the Cabinet Office, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland,
0:12:06 > 0:12:12- played by Julie Walters on TV. - Whaddya gotta do?! What do you gotta do, Richard?
0:12:12 > 0:12:18- I don't know what you gotta do. - Now, Brian, you know what you have to do. You're on 100.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25- The only name that popped into my head, and I don't think he's Labour, is Kenneth Clarke.- Kenneth Clarke
0:12:25 > 0:12:30says Brian. There's no red line as you are already the highest scorers.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35You just have to hope this is a brilliant and obscure answer.
0:12:35 > 0:12:42How many people said Kenneth Clarke was a member of the Labour Cabinet between 1997 and 2010?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh...bad luck, Brian.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53I'm afraid that's incorrect and you also score 100 points. You're in the 200 Club.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59- Richard?- Probably the longest-serving current Conservative Cabinet member.
0:12:59 > 0:13:06Right, come on. Here we go. James, we come to you, a journalist, one of the great, vibrant young minds.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10You are on seven. The high scorers are on 200, Brian and Lisa,
0:13:10 > 0:13:17- so even if you score 100 points you are still through.- The ones I know are unlikely to be pointless,
0:13:17 > 0:13:23so in a stab for a pointless answer I'm just going to name a random Labour MP
0:13:23 > 0:13:29- and go with Mike O'Brien. - Mike O'Brien.- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34James is saying Mike O'Brien. Is that right and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Bad luck, James.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44But that was a good tactic, but an incorrect answer which scores you 100 points
0:13:44 > 0:13:51- and takes your total to 107. - Perfectly worthy guess. He was a Minister, but not in Cabinet.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56OK, Labour Cabinet members from 1997 to 2010. Now, Jenni...
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- I'm going to say Clare Short. - Clare Short says Jenni.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07Let's see if that's right and how many said it. You're through anyway.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13Even if you score 100, you won't overtake Brian and Lisa, but for fun how many people said Clare Short?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It's right. Very well done, Jenni.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Very, very well done indeed!
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Wow! - Two points for Clare Short, takes your total up to nine.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37To be a brave person who stands up and resigns on a point of principle
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and only two people remember you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46Secretary of State for International Development until she resigned over the Iraq War.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51All sorts of big names on this list. David Blunkett got four, Peter Mandelson got four,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Margaret Beckett got one.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00Let's look at some pointless answers. Andrew Adonis, the former Transport Secretary,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Andy Burnham, who ran for leader, Charlie Falconer,
0:15:05 > 0:15:11the former Lord Chancellor Derry Irvine, Donald Dewar, First Minister of Scotland,
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Frank Dobson, also at Health, Geoff Hoon, the Defence Secretary,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Margaret Jay, Alan Milburn, another Health Secretary.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Jack Cunningham, James Purnell, Patricia Hewitt, all pointless.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Let's look at the big hitters, the ones everyone remembers(!)
0:15:30 > 0:15:37In third place, Ed Balls with 13. Going to be pleased with that. Mainly for the surname, I suspect.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Ed Miliband, 13. He'll be pleased he beat his brother, David. David got 12.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- And right at the top, John Prescott, 15.- Wow.- 15.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52OK, thanks, Richard. The losing pair with the highest score - Brian and Lisa.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- If you're going to go down, go down in a blaze of glory. - In a blaze, certainly.- Of something!
0:15:58 > 0:16:04- Well, it's 200.- We're happy. - You're happy.- We're fine.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye. Thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:21 > 0:16:28OK, there's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head, so one team will leave at the end of this round.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Our category for Round Two is... fiction.
0:16:31 > 0:16:38It's fiction. Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48OK, so our question concerns... quartets and their fourth members.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- Quartets and their fourth members. Richard?- This will cheer us up.
0:16:53 > 0:17:00We'll show you three parts of fictional foursomes from TV or books.
0:17:00 > 0:17:07You tell us who the fourth member is. Six on each pass, 12 in all. We might see some higher scores.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09OK, thank you, Richard.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15So we are looking for the fourth members of these fictitious foursomes and we have got...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17HE READS THE LIST
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'll read those all one more time.
0:17:45 > 0:17:52OK. There are six quartets. You have to provide the missing member of those quartets
0:17:52 > 0:17:57and you're trying to find the one the fewest people knew. Andy...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02I know a couple of them. Some of them I should know more of.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So I'm going to go for... Stan, Kyle and Eric
0:18:06 > 0:18:11- and I'm going to say Cartman. - Cartman you are saying.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Let's see if Cartman's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Wow.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29That scores you the maximum of 100 points. An incorrect answer. Now then, John,
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- that's taken the pressure off some. - Somewhat. I know a few of them.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Having seen that last round, I'll go for Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny
0:18:40 > 0:18:43and hope most of the 100 made the same mistake.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Let's see if Kenny's right and how many knew Kenny was the missing quarter.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5810! Very well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Bad luck, Andy. That should have been yours.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- 10 is John's instead. - Well played, John. He dies in most episodes of South Park.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Six of our 100 made the same mistake that Andy made.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18OK, Amy, you're the last person, so you can talk us through it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I know a couple of them.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27Rose, Dorothy and Blanche were The Golden Girls, but I can't remember the last one.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Faceman, BA and Murdock were the A Team. That would be Hannibal.
0:19:31 > 0:19:37Mike, Vyvyan and Rick - the Young Ones. And I don't know the fourth.
0:19:37 > 0:19:44But I think I'll try Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello - the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -
0:19:44 > 0:19:50- and that would be Michelangelo. - Michelangelo is the missing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle says Amy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Is that right and how many people said it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:0327!
0:20:07 > 0:20:13- 27 for Michelangelo. Richard? - Well done, Amy. You took us through the groups fairly well.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18You should have gone for Hannibal as that would have scored you 19 points.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24- An even better answer. Mike, Vyvyan, Rick and...- Neil!- Neil the hippie. Would have scored 11.
0:20:24 > 0:20:31- Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and...- I can't remember. The missing one is Harry Potter's house.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36It's harder than it looks. It's Gryffindor.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Gryffindor!- It scored 33.
0:20:38 > 0:20:44- And Rose, Dorothy and Blanche are the Golden Girls.- I don't know. - So a pretty obscure question.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- '80s sitcom.- Yeah.- Scores as many as Jack Straw and Alistair Darling.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Seven points if you said Sophia, who was Dorothy's mother.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00- Very well done if you got all six. - Thank you. We'll look at the scores.
0:21:00 > 0:21:07John and James looking very strong on 10. Lovely answer there with... I've already forgotten! Kenny!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10And then we go up to 27, Amy and Adrian.
0:21:10 > 0:21:18Then up to 100 for Andy and Jenni. Bad luck there, Andy. You have to hope somebody makes a mistake
0:21:18 > 0:21:21and Jenni finds a really good, low-scoring answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33We're going to put six more quartets on the board and here they come.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'll read those all one more time.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13So there we are. Adrian, you're on 27. The high scorers are Jenni and Andrew on 100,
0:22:13 > 0:22:18which means 72 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23I think I'll go with Flopsy, Mopsy, Peter
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and Cottontail.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Cottontail, you are saying, the missing member of that quartet.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Let's see. There is your red line. Below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Cottontail, is it right, how many people said it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Yeah, it's right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You've done it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:4530.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47APPLAUSE
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- 30 takes your total up to 57. Richard?- Well played.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58- Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail are Peter Rabbit's sisters in the Beatrix Potter book.- Thank you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02James, you're on 10. Jenni and Andy are on 100,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05which means 89 or less sees you through.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm a child of the '90s and I'm hoping
0:23:08 > 0:23:14at least 11 people that you've asked weren't children of the '90s
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and can't name Po as one of the four Teletubbies.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- OK, Tinky-Winky, Dipsy and Laa Laa, you think Po is missing. - Yeah.- There's your red line.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29It's nice and high. Let's see if Po can do it for you. Po, how many people said it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It's right and you are through.
0:23:31 > 0:23:3371.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Quite a high score, but it did what it needed to do.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It takes your total up to 81. Richard?
0:23:40 > 0:23:4671 for Po which is the same score as the top eight Labour Cabinet Ministers put together.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Put together!- Now, Jenni,
0:23:49 > 0:23:54the sad news is you are the high scorers even before you've given your answer,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59so no matter how good your answer is, we'll be saying goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04I think Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha might be Sex And The City,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08but I've never watched it and I don' know the names of the characters.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Jo, Beth and Meg, were they the Little Women?
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Peter, Susan and Edmund, I think was The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe but I don't know the fourth one.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22I'll have to guess the Mr Fantastic, Human Torch and the Invisible Woman...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Was there an Iceman?
0:24:24 > 0:24:31- Iceman?- OK, you're going to add Iceman to Mr Fantastic, Human Torch and the Invisible Woman.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35There's no red line because you are the high scorers.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Let's see if Iceman is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Bad luck, Jenni. That was a very good effort, but I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50It scores you 100 and takes your total up to 200. Another member of the 200 Club!
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- Richard?- You've taken us nicely through most of the categories.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Naming the fourth one is the hard thing.- It's a tough board.
0:24:58 > 0:25:05The fourth member of the Fantastic Four is The Thing. 7 points, that's the best answer on the board.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Jo, Beth and Meg are the Little Women and the other one is Amy.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It would have scored you 10.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Peter, Susan and Edmund, absolutely right, they're the Pevensie children in the Narnia books.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Their sibling is Lucy. It would have scored you 21.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are Sex And The City.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28And very much the leader of their group is Carrie Bradshaw. Would have scored 26 points.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Very well done if you did well on those two boards.- Thanks, Richard.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37At the end of Round 2, the losing pair with the highest score, Jenni and Andy.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41That was a tough round and that board was very hard.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46You've broken our jinx. The pair that go through to the final will be a returning pair.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49That's the first time that's happened for donkey's years.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55- We'll see you next time. Jenni and Andy, great contestants! - APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:26:02But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Congratulations, Adrian and Amy, James and John.
0:26:09 > 0:26:16You are only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £1,000.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18APPLAUSE
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Only one pair can play for that money and to decide which pair it's going to be,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26you go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:26 > 0:26:33The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot and you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Let's play head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37APPLAUSE
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Precision instruments, Richard?
0:26:48 > 0:26:54We'll show you five photographs of instruments used to make precise calculations or measurements.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00- Can you name the most obscure?- Here come your five precision instruments and we have got...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17OK, there are your five precision instruments.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Adrian and Amy, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24WHISPERING
0:27:28 > 0:27:30E, the protractor.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35E, protractor, say Adrian and Amy.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38E, protractor. James and John, you can talk out loud.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Do you think it's worth going for C which we know is right, but guessing at D which will beat E?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46No, let's play it safe.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48We'll say C and it's a spirit level.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52C, a spirit level, say James and John.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56So we have E, protractor, from Adrian and Amy.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Let's see if E is a protractor and if it is, how many people said it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03It's right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Quite a high score - 57.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10APPLAUSE
0:28:10 > 0:28:1457 for protractor. James and John have said C, spirit level.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. 57 is the score you have to beat.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27That's high - 86.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30APPLAUSE
0:28:30 > 0:28:34You said, "Let's play it safe." Why?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39He talked me out of it. I was desperately trying to think of what D was.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- It was on the tip of my tongue. - Yeah, he said that he didn't know.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48I thought everyone uses protractors from schools and they always have done.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Not everyone has used a spirit level.- No, fair enough.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Sadly, the logic didn't bear out and Adrian and Amy are up 1-0.
0:28:56 > 0:29:03- As a matter of interest, what do you think D was?- I was going to say something like... It's gone now.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09If it's any consolation, it wouldn't have won you the point. It's a plumb line and would have scored you 59.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Wow!- I didn't know that. - But a huge score, spirit level.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17That is 8,600% higher than Margaret Beckett.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19LAUGHTER
0:29:19 > 0:29:24"A", you can use them to measure your head. They're callipers.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26They would have scored you 33.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28And B is a compass,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30which would have scored you 76.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34So, callipers, very much the best answer. Well done if you said that.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Thanks, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42James and John, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Our second question concerns...
0:29:47 > 0:29:54- Richard?- We'll give you five clues to facts about the Isle of Wight. Which of these is the most obscure?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Let's reveal our five clues to facts about the Isle of Wight.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I'll read those one more time.
0:30:34 > 0:30:40We have five facts about the Isle of Wight and you want to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- James and John? - We played it safe last time, so we'll have a bit of a...
0:30:45 > 0:30:48We'll guess at the year Jimi Hendrix played.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I think I'm going to go for...
0:30:51 > 0:30:58- Yeah, I'll go 1973.- 1973, say James and John for the year Jimi Hendrix played the Isle of Wight Festival.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Adrian and Amy?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I think it was '72.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Do you want to take that risk?
0:31:05 > 0:31:12I think the jagged stacks of chalk rock are The Needles, but I'm not certain.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14No, you go.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18We'll go with Jimi Hendrix and '72.
0:31:18 > 0:31:25You're saying '72 for Jimi Hendrix playing the Isle of Wight Festival. It's all hanging on Jimi Hendrix.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28James and John are saying '73, Adrian and Amy '72.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33Let's see. 1973, is that right, how many people said it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36No. Bad luck.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42Adrian and Amy have said 1972 for the Isle of Wight Festival with Jimi Hendrix.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48Is that right? All it has to be is right. If it is, you win the point and go through to the final.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Oh, no.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Bad luck.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00Both wrong answers, so after two questions, Adrian and Amy are still ahead 1-0. Richard?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Yeah, he died in 1970, God bless him!
0:32:04 > 0:32:06LAUGHTER
0:32:07 > 0:32:12The Isle of Wight Festival was his last UK performance. It was in 1970 when he played that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15That would have scored you 6 points.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21You should have gone with The Needles, actually. You should have trusted Amy.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25That would have scored you 42 points and seen you into the final.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Do you know the location of the annual regatta?- Cowes. - Yes, it would have scored you 46.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Roman name for the island, I didn't know this one.
0:32:33 > 0:32:365 points if you said Vectis.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- And the film director? - Anthony Minghella.- Yes. He won an Oscar for The English Patient.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45It would have scored 4 points. Very well done if you got all of those.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51Here comes your third question. James and John, you have to win this to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56LAUGHTER
0:32:56 > 0:33:02- Richard?- We'll show you a list of five musicals alongside one of their famous songs.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07We've missed a word out of each of the songs. Can you supply the word?
0:33:07 > 0:33:13OK, so here are our songs from musicals with a missing word and we have got...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I'll read those songs one more time.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48There are your five songs from musicals. Adrian and Amy, we are back with you.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52There is one that we went to see a few years back.
0:33:52 > 0:33:58I think we'll go for Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Kiss Me, Kate.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Brush Up Your Shakespeare, say Adrian and Amy.
0:34:01 > 0:34:08- Now then, James and John, do you know any of those? - Yeah, very surprisingly, we do.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Let's Go Fly A Kite?- Yeah. Ol' Man River.- Ol' Man River.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Hushabye Baby?- Hushabye Baby. Ol' Man River, I'm thinking.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- I think Let's Go Fly A Kite. - I'm backing you.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21We'll go with Let's Go Fly A Kite.
0:34:21 > 0:34:29Let's Go Fly A Kite, say James and John. We have Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Adrian and Amy.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Yeah, fantastic.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Very good indeed.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- APPLAUSE - 11 points for Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54James and John have said Let's Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it. You have to beat 11 points.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06If you don't beat 11 points, we say goodbye to you and Adrian and Amy go through to the final.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09It's right.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Oo-ee!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Wow!
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- APPLAUSE - Let's Go Fly A Kite is very popular.
0:35:17 > 0:35:23It scores 79, which means after three questions, Adrian and Amy are through to the final 2-0. Richard?
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Yes, the highest answer on the board. Brush Up Your Shakespeare is a very good answer.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34- Only one answer would have beaten it, the song from Annie. Do you know that one?- Easy Chair.- No, it's not.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- Good guess, though. Easy Street.- Easy Street. - That would have scored you 8.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45You would have been a bit better off going with Ol' Man River from Show Boat.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51- That would have scored 69 points. It's not Hushabye Baby from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.- Hushabye Mountain.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Absolutely right. That would have scored 23. I bet there's lots of musical fans out there.
0:35:56 > 0:36:02- I imagine some people went straight through that board. Very well done if you did.- Thank you, Richard.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is James and John.
0:36:07 > 0:36:13- You've made it to the head-to-head which is very good.- We did much better this time.- The Isle of Wight!
0:36:13 > 0:36:19- Isle of Wight... - Isle of Wight/Jimi Hendrix. - I know.- But if the zombies...
0:36:19 > 0:36:22He'd have had to be a zombie to play in 1973!
0:36:22 > 0:36:24LAUGHTER
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Dear, oh, dear. Never mind. Thanks so much for playing, James and John!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32APPLAUSE
0:36:34 > 0:36:38But for Adrian and Amy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:40 > 0:36:47Congratulations, Adrian and Amy. You fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £1,000.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01APPLAUSE
0:37:02 > 0:37:08Best of luck. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:37:08 > 0:37:14We haven't had any pointless answers today, but if you find one now, you will leave here with £1,000.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Firstly, you've got to choose a category from these five options.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Iconic Actors, I think.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- I think Iconic Actors.- Yeah. - Iconic Actors?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35What's the worst that can happen?
0:37:35 > 0:37:36This(!)
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:41 > 0:37:46to name as many Steve McQueen films as they could. Richard?
0:37:46 > 0:37:51Yeah, any feature film made for cinema release for which Steve McQueen received an acting credit.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56No TV films, short films or documentaries or uncredited performances,
0:37:56 > 0:37:59but voice performances do count.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02You have one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:02 > 0:38:07and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is for just one answer to be pointless.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- Are you ready?- Ready.- Yeah. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- OK, Steve McQueen.- Any ideas? - Bullitt, he was in that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The Great Escape, obviously.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- The Towering Inferno. - What about that one they use in the ad with the balloon?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26The one with the balloon?
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- Was that not a film? - That might have been another film.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- King Rat might have been one. - Really?- I think so.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I've never heard of it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Was he a voice in the Cars movie,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46in the Disney film?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- No.- Are you sure?- I think he might have been dead by that stage.- OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52I think Bullitt,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55King Rat as an obscure one
0:38:55 > 0:38:58and...Towering Inferno.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- OK.- OK.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04You're happy with those. We'll stop the clock.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08We were looking for Steve McQueen films. I need your three answers.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- We'll go with Bullitt.- Bullitt.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- King Rat for some reason.- King Rat.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- And The Towering Inferno. - And The Towering Inferno.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:20 > 0:39:27- I think King Rat.- King Rat. We'll pu that last. Your least likely? - Towering Inferno.- Towering Inferno.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39We were looking for Steve McQueen films. Towering Inferno was your least confident answer.
0:39:39 > 0:39:46You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,000, so let's see if Towering Inferno is right
0:39:46 > 0:39:50and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Towering Inferno...
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Yeah, it's right.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59If this goes down to zero, you will leave here with £1,000 in your back pocket.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Down it goes into the teens, into single figures...
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- 8. 8. - APPLAUSE
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Not bad.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12It's a great score. You'd be very proud of that in normal game play.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Unfortunately, in the final round we need pointless answers,
0:40:16 > 0:40:21so you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24What would you do with £1,000, Amy?
0:40:24 > 0:40:29I have an ambition that I'd like to go ringside at a world title fight.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Adrian, how about you? - We're renovating the house
0:40:32 > 0:40:38- and we could do with a couple of steel beams, so that's what we'd spend it on.- Steel beams!
0:40:38 > 0:40:43We are looking for Steve McQueen films. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Bullitt.
0:40:43 > 0:40:49This has to be right and pointless for you to win that £1,000. How many people said Bullitt?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It's right.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55OK, we went down to 8 with Towering Inferno.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Let's see how far down we go with Bullitt.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01If this goes down to zero...
0:41:01 > 0:41:06- Oh! Rather better known, Bullitt. - APPLAUSE
0:41:06 > 0:41:0832.
0:41:08 > 0:41:15So, also not pointless, which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:21Your third and final answer was King Rat. You said this was your most confident shot at being pointless.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26But obviously, it does have to be right for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31This has to be right and pointless. King Rat - did anyone say it, is it right?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Bad luck.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Bad luck, Adrian. - APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:48Unfortunately, you didn't find that vital pointless answer, so you don't win the £1,000
0:41:48 > 0:41:54which rolls over to the next show, but you were brilliant contestants and you win the Pointless trophy.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Excellent. APPLAUSE
0:42:01 > 0:42:07- Richard?- Tough luck, guys. Steve McQueen does have some association with King Rat, a 1965 film.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11George Segal was the main part, but Steve McQueen turned it down.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16If he hadn't, you might have won some money. Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19There's only six pointless answers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22An Enemy Of The People, the film version of the Ibsen play.
0:42:22 > 0:42:28Baby The Rain Must Fall, plays an ex-con musician, Hell Is For Heroes, a World War Two movie.
0:42:28 > 0:42:34Soldier In The Rain, a comedy, The Great St Louis Bank Robbery where he plays a bank robber in St Louis,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37and The Honeymoon Machine as a navy lieutenant.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Very unlucky, guys. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47We have to say goodbye to you, Adrian and Amy, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Thank you both so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Sadly, Adrian and Amy didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01which means on the next show we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:08- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And goodbye from me.
