0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the lowest scorers
0:00:29 > 0:00:32are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40We welcome back Tim and Adam. You were on the show last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is your second chance. How do you know each other, Tim?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47We both go to university in Glasgow.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- We're flatmates as well.- Do you watch Pointless together?- We do.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Is it part of your daily routine? Get up,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55have your cereal...switch on.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56LAUGHTER
0:00:56 > 0:00:57- I wish!- I wish!- Yeah.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- How'd you do last time, Adam?- All right. First round was quite good.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- We were the lowest scoring pair. - But then, unfortunately,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- the second round didn't go brilliantly.- US Presidents?- Yeah.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- What are you hoping is going to come up, Adam?- I'd quite like sport
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and history.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Tim, how about you?- I'd love nature because I like nature watching
0:01:16 > 0:01:18up in Orkney, where I'm from.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Anything sciencey, that kind of thing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- You're both training to be vets. Anything you're dreading?- Film.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Film, definitely film. If film comes up, we've lost straight away.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We'll see what comes up. Very best of luck to you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Let's hope we see more of you this time than we did last time.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And next, we welcome back Steve and Denise,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36also on the show last time.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Another returning pair. Remind us what happened last time, Steve?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- We reached the head to heads. - You did indeed.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Beaten by a very good couple.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Remind us how you know each other.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Well, we're partners and we've been together for 26 years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51And where are you from?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Brentwood in Essex.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now Steve, what would be brilliant for you today?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Films, movies.- Films.- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Denise, what would be great for you?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Food and drink. I quite like cooking.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07I also quite like animals, nature, so that would be quite good, maybe.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- OK, anything you'd hate to see? - History.- History.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, it's great to have you back. Very best of luck this afternoon.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And next welcome Ray and Marion. Now how do you two know each other?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- We met at amateur operatics, that old cliche.- No amateur dramatics,
0:02:21 > 0:02:26amateur operatics is a nice, novel new spin on that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I was on the stage and he walked in the hall
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and I said, "I want a piece of that."
0:02:32 > 0:02:34LAUGHTER
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- And the rest is history. That was...- Doomed.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Did she get a piece of that, Ray?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Eventually, yes. During Carousel.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- That was 25 years ago. - During Carousel?!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He had to carry me off and we rehearsed it quite a lot.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51What do you do when you're not doing your operatics, Ray?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I'm an artist in burnt clay. - OK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56LAUGHTER
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I'm guessing there's an explanation for that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Most people know me as a bricklayer.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I see, OK. I'll give you both of those, yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08What are you working on now, what's your next opera?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10We're not doing anything at the moment.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We're resting. Waiting for something to turn up.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- What's been your favourite role to date?- Guys and Dolls, best show.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Sky Masterson, I was Sky Masterson.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, we'll have a Sky-off.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- No, you- played- Sky Masterson. >
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You weren't him.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Do you know what? How many times are we going to have to go over this?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- You know you're not, don't you?- No.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33LAUGHTER
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm Sky. I'm Sky Masterson.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yes, I was Sky Masterson.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Ray and Marion, it's wonderful to have you on the show, very best of luck.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And finally, we welcome back Gill and Lorna.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47You were on the show last time. Now remind us how you know each other?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51We met at university. We were in the flat next door to each other.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And what happened last time, Gill?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58We found out that for English students, we're not so good at words.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Particularly words ending in U-M-E.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Yes, they had you stumped.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Anyhow, we're not going to have a word round this time.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm assuming we're not. Assume. Hmmm...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11You know what happens when you assume.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Exactly, yes. It makes an ass of you and me.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Anything you wouldn't like to see come up?- Sport, probably.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- OK.- Music and sport would be the two really bad ones.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Who's going to be watching back at uni?- We watch it, every Pointless,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31religiously, like every single night with our flatmates,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32so they'll probably be watching.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- There'll be a big crowd of you. - We're like, obsessive.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Someone might have a poster of Richard in their room. - We love Richard.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42LAUGHTER
0:04:42 > 0:04:44There you go, Richard.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Someone does have a poster of me in my room.- Yes.- It's me.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49LAUGHTER
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Where did you get a poster of me?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Like you did, you draw them, don't you?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Well, he was voted Weird Crush of the Year.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01And he's wearing a nice crown in the picture.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- It was a nice crown, Richard. - Thank you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05A nice bit of ermine as well.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Shall we move on and do the quiz?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Gill and Lorna, wonderful to have you back on the show, very best of luck,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13please can we see more of you than we did last time.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22A man so full of knowledge, he sees Google as a sign of weakness.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Well, ahoy there. - And the same to you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36We've got three returning pairs today, which is quite fun, so we know them all quite well.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41Ray and Marion joining us, but I feel we know them quite well as well now.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Maybe a tiny bit too well. But that's OK.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It should be a good show.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I was thinking Gill and Lorna will go a bit further
0:05:48 > 0:05:51than they did last time but Gill said she didn't like music or sport
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and then I look at the first couple of questions
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and now I fear for them a tiny bit.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- That's all. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07To stay in the game and have a chance of winning,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14What everyone is trying to do of course is find a pointless answer,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16an answer none of our 100 people gave and each time that happens,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27so today's jackpot starts off at a very decent £3,000.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:43 > 0:06:45and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54so try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:57 > 0:06:58..pop music.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Pop music. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03who's going to go second.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:14 > 0:07:19to name as many chart-topping girl groups since 1980 as they could.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Richard.- We're looking for the name of any girl group
0:07:22 > 0:07:26who's had a UK number one single from January 1980
0:07:26 > 0:07:28all the way through to the end of 2011.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31By girl group, we mean a group of two or more members where every member is female.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34So any girl group that's had a number one single
0:07:34 > 0:07:39from January 1980, through to the end of 2011, please.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Tim and Adam, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and today, you get to go first.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Girl groups since 1980.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I should imagine there are quite a few pointless answers there.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I think I'm going to go for a safer one
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and hope Adam knows his girl groups.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58So I'm going to go with Destiny's Child.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Destiny's Child, says Tim. Destiny's Child. Let's see if that's right
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Destiny's Child.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's right.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- 24. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:15 > 0:08:1724. Sounds like a reasonable score,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21but we'll discover what sort of score that is as other people give their answers.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Richard.- Well done, Tim. They've had two UK number one hits, Destiny's Child.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- They formed when Beyonce was nine, the first Destiny's Child.- Wow.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Denise, girls groups since 1980.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yes. I've got a couple going in my mind, but,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- OK, Atomic Kitten.- Atomic Kitten. Let's see if that's right
0:08:38 > 0:08:43and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Atomic Kitten.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44It's right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- 19. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:53 > 0:08:5419 for Atomic Kitten.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Well played, Denise. They've had three number one singles.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Just brilliant, Atomic Kitten.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Liz McClarnon. - Jenny Frost joined later.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Jenny Frost, yes.- Exactly. - But, Liz McClarnon.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Do you like Liz McClarnon? - Yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15You've got a poster of Liz McClarnon your bedroom wall, haven't you?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I drew it myself.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Ray, chart-topping girl groups since 1980, that's what we're looking for.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Did you have Atomic Kitten ready to give?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26No, I've got two in mind,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29but I'm beginning to doubt myself because of the year.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I think I'm going to go with...
0:09:33 > 0:09:34..Sister Sledge.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Sister Sledge.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39An appreciative murmur from the audience there.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Sister Sledge, says Ray. Let's see if that's right
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sister Sledge.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's a cracking answer, Ray.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Down it goes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, brilliant, Ray. One.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's how you do it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00One point for Sister Sledge.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05That's exactly how you do it. They've only had one number one. Do you know what their number one was?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Frankie.- It was Frankie.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10We Are Family very much their most famous song, but Frankie in 1985.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Lorna, so remember we're
0:10:11 > 0:10:13looking for chart-topping girl groups since 1980.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I've got three in mind, I guess they're chart-topping.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20They're probably the three most obvious answers that'll come up.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'll have to go with Girls Aloud.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Girls Aloud.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26OK, Girls Aloud, says Lorna.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Let's see if that's right
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Girls Aloud.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Ee!
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Wow. 74.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38APPLAUSE
0:10:38 > 0:10:4074, that is high.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41I knew it would be.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well, it's correct. it's a lot better than 100.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Yes, a right answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47They had three number ones, Girls Aloud,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49you'd think they'd have more than Atomic Kitten.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Yeah. - Why are we talking about this?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53OK, well, we're halfway through the round
0:10:53 > 0:10:54so let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Ray and Marion, look at that.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Standing apart from the crowd there with just 1.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And then we travel up to 19, where we find Denise and Steve,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06then up to 24 where we find Tim and Adam
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and then we trot all the way up to 74, where we find Lorna and Gill,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13so Gill, please can you have a really nice obscure girl band,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15maybe even a pointless one, for the next pass,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and hope that that's enough to see you through to the next round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30OK, we're looking for Chart-Topping Girl Groups Since 1980
0:11:30 > 0:11:33and Gill, I think you have a brilliant answer.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I've got two in mind that might be obscure but I'm not sure
0:11:36 > 0:11:40if they're all-girl bands and I'm not sure if they're chart-topping.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, well listen, you are the high scorers on 74
0:11:42 > 0:11:44so we need something quite obscure.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Take a risk and say Mis-Teeq.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50You're going to say Mis-Teeq.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51There's no red line for you
0:11:51 > 0:11:54because you are the high scorers, so you just have to hope Mis-Teeq
0:11:54 > 0:11:57goes down as far as it possibly can and obviously that it's right.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Mis-Teeq, is it right, how may people said it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03No. Bad luck, Gill.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Bad luck, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:12:06 > 0:12:07which means you score 100 points.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11That takes your total up to an unbeatable 174, I'm sorry.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Richard.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Sorry, Gill, that's what we call a very good wrong answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17They had two number two singles, Mis-Teeq,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Scandalous and All I Want.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Alesha Dixon was famously in them.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Spelt the name Mis-Teeq.- Yeah. - Nothing wrong with that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Nuttin' wrong with that. No.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31OK, well, thank you very much indeed.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Marion, you're through, even if you score 100 points.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35That's very good news.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You won't overtake Gill and Lorna's 174.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41No excuse, however, Marion, you with all your opera and all.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Not quite sure why that would help with girl bands since 1980,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46but it may feed into it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Let's have a pointless answer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The first one that popped into my head,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I don't know if they're chart-topping, was Bananarama.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56If they're not chart-topping I'll eat that column.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Bananarama, is it right and if it is how many people said it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01No red line for you because you're through whatever happens.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Bananarama.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oh.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Ooh. Knife and fork.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11LAUGHTER
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Oh, I shall enjoy this.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15LAUGHTER
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hm.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Isn't that amazing?- Wow.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Unfortunately, Marion, that scores you 100 points
0:13:21 > 0:13:23which takes your total up to 101,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27but doesn't matter, you're through anyway, so there we are.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30OK, we're looking for Chart-Topping Girl Groups Since 1980.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Steve, whatever you score you're still through to the next round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38I seem to remember one called B*Witched. Four young ladies.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Oh, in jeans.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41OK.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42B*Witched, let's see if that's right
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45B*Witched.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47It's right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:548. That's a great answer.
0:13:54 > 0:13:598 for B*Witched takes your total up to 27. Richard.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Good answer, Steve, they had four number-one singles.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Wow.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04How about that?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07C'est La Vie, the first one, went straight in at number one.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Two of them are Shane Lynch's sisters, twin sisters.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Adam, you're through to the next round, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So I'm going to go for something and I think they chart-topped with
0:14:16 > 0:14:18their first single so I'm going for The Cheeky Girls.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22If ever there was a pointless girl group, surely this is it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23LAUGHTER
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The Cheeky Girls, let's see, is it right?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28How many people said The Cheeky Girls?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Oh no.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I was convinced that was 250 quid straight into the jackpot
0:14:33 > 0:14:35but evidently not.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37There's some justice, they didn't get to the top of the charts.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Oh well, there we are, never mind, that scores you 100 points,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42takes your total up to 124, but who cares,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45you're still through to the next round. Richard.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Very good attempt, Adam,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49to get a pointless answer, which is what this is all about.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50They had a number two,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52the Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum), it got to number two.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Yeah. I've got one. Las Ketchup.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Is a pointless answer!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02APPLAUSE
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The Ketchup Song from 2002.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- That was a truly dreadful song. - I quite liked it. It was catchy.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Yes, definitely catchy. - Any others?- Mel and Kim.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Pointless answer.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Number one with Respect in 1987.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- There's only one other pointless answer.- Wow!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Let's take a look. - And the third one is T.A.T.U. -
0:15:22 > 0:15:26All The Things She Said. The Russian band.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27I quite like that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29These are the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The most obvious answers.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Sugababes with 24.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37There's been an awful lot of members of Sugababes over the years.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Sugababes was a replacement for the YTS scheme!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42LAUGHTER
0:15:42 > 0:15:47They were third, second Girls Aloud, we've already heard, 74
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and the Spice Girls, 93.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- It's a big old score.- It sure is. Thanks, Richard.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56At the end of the first round the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Gill and Lorna, it's you again.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We did say we weren't good at music!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Music and sport, the two things you didn't want.- Oh, well.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It's been lovely having you on the show. I'm sorry we haven't seen much much more of you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11We've given you bad categories, I'm afraid.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Yeah, that's the reason(!) - That's Pointless, I'm afraid.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19A real shame, thank you so much for playing. Lovely to have you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22APPLAUSE
0:16:23 > 0:16:27But for the remaining pairs, it's time for round two.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Obviously there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40One of the teams will have to leave at the end of this round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Our category for round two is Sporting Greats.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00OK, our round two question concerns Sporting Knights and Dames. Richard.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03We'll give you six clues to people from the world of sport
0:17:03 > 0:17:06who've received either a knighthood or damehood.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09If you give us a nice obscure answer, you score fewer points,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12if you give us an incorrect answer, It'll be 100 points.
0:17:12 > 0:17:1612 clues in all, 12 sporting personalities to guess at home.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So, the sporting knights or dames described by these clues.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We've got:
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I will read those all one last time:
0:17:59 > 0:18:02There we are. Sporting Knights and Dames.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Six clues, six answers to be found.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Tim, you'll want the fewest of our 100 people knew. What will you say?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Well, sport isn't a strong point of mine.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I think I know one and possible with another
0:18:19 > 0:18:23but I'll go with the one I think I know. I hope Adam, who's good at sport, can recover it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I'm going for won three cycling golds at the 2008 Olympics,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Chris Hoy.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Chris Hoy, Sir Chris Hoy.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Let's see if it's right and how many people knew the answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's good.
0:18:42 > 0:18:4410!
0:18:46 > 0:18:50That's a good enough answer, Tim. 10 for Chris Hoy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Yes, Sir Chris Hoy, that's a very low score for Sir Chris.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Won three Olympic golds, the most won by any Briton since 1908 when Henry Taylor did the same.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- An incredible achievement. - Very good, Denise.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05How are you feeling about this board?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I think I know two, but the one I'm going for, cos I'm sure
0:19:09 > 0:19:13about this one, nicknames include Beefy and Guy Gorilla is Ian Botham.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Ian Botham you're saying, his nicknames include Beefy
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and Guy the Gorilla.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Let's see, Sir Ian Botham. And if so, how many knew the answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Yep, it's right.
0:19:27 > 0:19:2934.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It's absolutely right, quite a high score.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Had an extraordinary cricketing career for England
0:19:37 > 0:19:41but knighted for services to charity rather than cricket.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Ray, you're the last to have this board.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48You can talk us through it and fill in any of the answers you know and submit your favourite.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51There's only two I think are OK.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The rowing gold I think is Steve Redgrave
0:19:54 > 0:19:57but I think that will be higher than 34.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01So, I might take a chance on the Flying Scot and say Jackie Stewart.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04OK, Jackie Stewart for the Flying Scot.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Let's see if it's right and how many people knew the answer.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Jackie Stewart.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It's right!
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Very well done, eight points for Jackie Stewart.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Richard.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Ray's good. First Sister Sledge and now Sir Jackie Stewart.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31That's breadth of knowledge! Let's look at the other answers.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You're quite right, it was Sir Steve Redgrave won rowing gold, a low score, 29 points.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40The 2004 Olympic 800 and 1500 metres champion only scores 13 points.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Dame Kelly Holmes.- Only 13 points.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Extraordinary.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51And the 2003 England World Cup England manager, seven points if you said Sir Clive Woodward.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Very well done if you went through the board.- Let's look at the scores.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Eight, lovely low score once again from Ray which puts
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Ray and Marion in a good position.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Then, 10 for Tim and Adam, another lovely low score.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Up quite a bit to 34, still a low score,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10but you're substantially ahead of the others.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Steve, we'll need a good answer from you
0:21:13 > 0:21:15if you're to make it through to the head-to-head.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21We'll come back down the line, can a second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25We'll put six more clues on the board and here they come.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I will read those all one more time.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Remember, we're looking for the names of these knights or dames described by these clues.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Obviously, Marion, you're looking for the one the fewest people knew.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15How does that board look to you?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Absolutely terrible!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You're the lowest scorers on eight and the high scorers
0:22:19 > 0:22:21are Steve and Denise which means a score
0:22:21 > 0:22:26of 25 or less at this stage will see you through to the next round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Do you know any of them?- Yes, but the ones I know will be lots of points.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Sir Henry Cooper, he knocked Cassius Clay down in 1963.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Let's look if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41There's your red line, nice and low. Below that, you're through to the next round.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Sir Henry Cooper.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's right!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Oh! Very, very nearly.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5628 takes your total up to 36.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Richard.- Yes, Cassius Clay, later Muhammad Ali, floored him
0:23:00 > 0:23:04with a left hook that travelled 5.5 inches at 30 miles per hour
0:23:04 > 0:23:07delivering a force of 60 times greater than gravity.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's not bad.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- They called it, 'Enry's 'Ammer. - 'Enry's 'Ammer?- Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Steve.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18You're on 34, the high scorers are Marion and Ray on 36.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21A score of one or less will see you through to the next round.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24How does the board looked to you?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I know two definites, one will be fairly high.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I'm going to choose ran the first recorded sub-four minute mile
0:23:31 > 0:23:33as Sir Roger Bannister.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Sir Roger Bannister, you're saying for the runner of the first sub-four minute mile.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Here comes your red line.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42It will be quite hard to distinguish from the floor!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45But there it is, I promise. OK, Roger Bannister. Is that right and if it is,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48how many people said it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's right!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Good, 22.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I wonder if it's good enough.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That takes your total to 56, Steve.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06A surprisingly low score for one of the greatest achievements
0:24:06 > 0:24:12- in sporting history. At Iffley Road running track in 1954.- Thank you.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Adam, Tim did say you had a drum roll, Adam knows his sport.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I am looking forward to an amazing score!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23When your mind goes blank, it's not great.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Talk as through the board and do your thinking out loud.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Definitely don't know the 1972 pentathlon champion.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33The sailor who won the damehood I should know but can't remember.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I have an idea for the horse trainer and I think it could be Henry Cecil.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42But, as I am not totally sure, I am going for one I definitely know
0:24:42 > 0:24:46and Manchester United manager, which is Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- But I think that will be quite high. - OK, Tim looking to the heavens!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Here's your red line. It's not quite as high as you might like.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Sir Alex Ferguson, let see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's right!
0:25:05 > 0:25:06You've done it!
0:25:09 > 0:25:1141 takes your total to 51.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Very well done. That was exciting.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20One of the most successful managers in British footballing history.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25He was sacked in 1978 by St Mirren for unpardonable swearing at a lady.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Good for St Mirren. Ill-judged but... Good for them!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Funnily enough, if you'd said Sir Henry Cecil it would have been
0:25:32 > 0:25:36a brilliant answer scoring one point.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37The best answer on the board.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43- The sailor who received a damehood. - Ellen MacArthur.- 12 points.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48And another low scorer, 1972 Olympic pentathlon champion Dame Mary Peters.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- That would have scored four points. - Thank you, Richard.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56At the end of Round Two the losing pair with the highest score
0:25:56 > 0:25:58is Steve and Denise.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But I think you were nearly thrown a lifeline.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Sir Alex Ferguson might have brought you back into the game. But Adam got through and you don't.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But it's been great having you on the show.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Steve and Denise, thank you for playing.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even
0:26:18 > 0:26:20more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Congratulations, Ray and Marion, Tim and Adam.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You're only one round away from the final and chance
0:26:32 > 0:26:36to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £3,000.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40APPLAUSE
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Obviously, only one pair can play for that money
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and to decide which pair you'll go head-to-head on the best
0:26:45 > 0:26:48of three questions so the first pair to win two questions will be
0:26:48 > 0:26:54playing for the jackpot, you're now allowed to confer.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00Well, it's our two operatical stars versus our veterinary students.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Very, very hard to call this. You've both played well so far.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Ray and Marion just getting in as the lower scorers of the pair.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12But it will be an evenly matched third round.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Let's play head-to-head!
0:27:20 > 0:27:28Here comes your first question and it concerns Impressionists. Richard.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yes, we'll show you five pictures of TV impressionists,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33can you tell us which of these is the most obscure?
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Thank you, let's reveal the five impressionists and here they are.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59OK, there are your five impressionists.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Ray and Marion, you've played best so far so you pick first.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10I think we'll go with C, Faith Brown.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Faith Brown, C. Faith Brown.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Tim and Adam, it's all yours.
0:28:17 > 0:28:24- You can talk through all the board if you like.- We only know one!
0:28:24 > 0:28:28But we'll go for the one we know, we reckon D, is Rory Bremner.
0:28:28 > 0:28:35D, Rory Bremner. Ray and Marion have said C is Faith Brown.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Let's see if it's right and how many people knew the answer.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41It's right!
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Very well done, 26.
0:28:50 > 0:28:5426 for Faith Brown. Tim and Adam have gone for Rory Bremner, D.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Let's see if it's right and how many people said Rory Bremner.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03It's right. 26 if the score to beat to win the question.
0:29:03 > 0:29:0555.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Unsurprising, I think. Ray and Marion.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You're ahead, 1 to 0 after one question.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Rory Bremner was the biggest score on that board.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18There are two answers beating Faith Brown.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23One is A, Debra Stephenson from The Impression Show with Culshaw and Stevenson.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29She'd have scored you 14. B is Alistair McGowan who scored 29.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Faith Brown and Rory Bremner and E, Phil Cornwell.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37From Dead Ringers and Stella Street among many other things.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40One point for him, very well done if you said that.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47And it concerns Australia. Richard.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52For this question, five clues about facts about Australia. Which of these is the most obscure?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Australia
0:29:55 > 0:29:57and here they come. We have got...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I'll read those one last time.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22OK, there we are. Now this time, Tim and Adam, you go first.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Yeah, OK.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Remember, Tim and Adam, you need to win this point to stay in the game.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28So, I think we're going to go...
0:30:28 > 0:30:32We know two, one of which I think is going to be quite high.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34The other one we'll go for,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36we'll go for the island state being Tasmania.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Tasmania, Tim and Adam say,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41for the island state. Tasmania.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Ray and Marion, talk us through the board.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Well, there's only one we know
0:30:46 > 0:30:48other than the island state
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and that's the national capital - we hope we know it,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53and that's Canberra.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Canberra.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Canberra, the national capital.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57So we have Tasmania
0:30:57 > 0:31:00and we have Canberra.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Tim and Adam named the island state as Tasmania.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Good luck. You need to win this question, remember.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10It's right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:1546.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18APPLAUSE
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Is that going to do it for you, do you think? It's quite high,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- isn't it?- Yeah, it is quite high.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Yeah, I was thinking it might go a bit lower.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Ray and Marion said the national capital is Canberra.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32let's see how many people said it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:3646 is what you need to beat...
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Oh! 72.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:4172. Well done, Tim and Adam.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44That was what you had to do. It means after two questions,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46you are one-all. Richard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Big advantage to Tim and Adam, going first.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52You both knew those two and none of the others. Let's go through them.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54The national anthem since 1984
0:31:54 > 0:31:57is Advance Australia Fair. That would've scored you ten points.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00At the bottom, the constellation on the national flag
0:32:00 > 0:32:03is the Southern Cross. That would have scored you 13.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06The best answer, which appeared on Pointless before in various guises,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08the first female prime minister,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Julia Gillard,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12would have scored you six points.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Thank you, Richard. Here comes your third question, the decider.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Whoever wins this goes into the final to play for the jackpot.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Here it comes. It concerns...
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Greek and Roman Gods.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Richard.- Yeah, the Greeks and Romans often had different gods
0:32:29 > 0:32:32for the same thing. We're going to show you five pairs of gods,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34one Greek, one Roman. The gods are the same thing.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37But we're only giving you the first and last letters of each.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Can you name both of the gods, please?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Good question. Right, let's reveal our Greek and Roman gods.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03The names on the left are Roman,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05the names on the right are Greek.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06I'll read them all one more time.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Ray and Marion, it's you to go first again.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23I think we're going to go
0:33:23 > 0:33:26with the top one.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Neptune and Poseidon.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Neptune and Poseidon,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31say Ray and Marion.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Tim and Adam, talk us through the board, if you like.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35OK, I know them all, I think.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I think the second one is Venus and Aphrodite,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41the third one's Saturn and Cronus,
0:33:41 > 0:33:42the third one's Mars and Aries
0:33:42 > 0:33:45and the bottom one's Jupiter and Zeus.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I think we'll go for the middle one, which is Saturn and Cronus.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Saturn and Cronus,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52very, very well done, Tim and Adam.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Ray and Marion, Neptune and Poseidon. Let's see if that's right
0:34:05 > 0:34:08and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said Neptune, Poseidon.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11It's right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Lovely low score. 22!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Tim and Adam are going for Saturn and Cronus.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2822 is the score you have to beat. This will decide who goes through
0:34:28 > 0:34:31to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Saturn, Cronus. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Yes, it is right.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Is it going to beat 22?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Yes, it is!
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Oh, look at that! It's pointless!
0:34:43 > 0:34:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Very, very well done, Tim and Adam.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to the jackpot,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57takes the total up to £3,250.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00It means you very deservedly win that third question
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and with a score of 2-1,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05you win the head-to-head.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Very well played, Tim and Adam, very exciting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Not a lot you could do with that, is there, Ray and Marian?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Tim, do I take it that Greek and Roman gods is a subject you like?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I read a lot of Horrible Histories as a kid
0:35:17 > 0:35:18and it seems to have paid off.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21You did it perfectly. You took us through the board,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25then chose the best answer you could have given. We've heard them all,
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Venus and Aphrodite - 17,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Jupiter and Zeus, down at the bottom,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31the highest scorer on the board, would have scored you 33,
0:35:31 > 0:35:35and Mars and Ares would have scored you four points, the gods of war.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Very well played. Well done if you got all those at home as well.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Ray and Marion.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46That was a really exciting head-to-head.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Exactly as it should be.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51The best till last, a real needle match.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Sorry we have to say goodbye now, but we'll see you again next time and look forward to that.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Meanwhile, Ray and Marion, excellent, excellent team.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01APPLAUSE
0:36:01 > 0:36:04But for Tim and Adam, time for our Pointless final.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Congratulations, Tim and Adam. You have fought off
0:36:13 > 0:36:16all the competition and won the coveted Pointless Trophy.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,250.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31APPLAUSE
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- You made it to the second round last time.- We did, yep.- This time,
0:36:37 > 0:36:41you've played a blinder, fantastic, some lovely low scores from you,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43then a nail-biter for the head-to-head.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44All you have to do
0:36:44 > 0:36:47to win that money in the jackpot is find a pointless answer.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50We've had only one pointless answer on the show today,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52the one you just gave us, Saturn and Cronus.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56You only have to find one more pointless answer and you'll go home
0:36:56 > 0:36:59with that £3,250. Firstly, you've got to choose a category.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You can choose from these five options. They are...
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Definitely not celebrities.- No. - I think we decided not celebrities.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Definitely not.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Political history, based on our last show, is not a strong point.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Bridges and tunnels could be OK. It depends what it is.- Yep.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Even though I like horses, I don't know enough about jockeys
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- or as many jockeys.- We know some literary greats but not others,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- so will we go for...- I think bridges.- Bridges and tunnels?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Let's go for bridges and tunnels. - Bridges and tunnels, please.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Wow, brilliant. I hope it pays off.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37I hope it will, too!
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Well done. Let's find out what your question is. Here it comes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:45 > 0:37:49New York bridges and tunnels as they could.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Richard.- We're looking for any bridge or tunnel that has a road link
0:37:52 > 0:37:54from Manhattan to any other body of land.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It can carry people or all sorts of things.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00As long as it has a road link, we will accept it. Very best of luck.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Thank you, Richard.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07All you need to win that £3,250
0:38:07 > 0:38:10is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- OK...- Golden Gate Bridge.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- That's San Francisco.- Oh, is it? OK. - That's a struggle.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Right, OK, there's a tunnel, I know there is a tunnel,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25but I can't remember what it's called.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- That's helpful.- We're going to struggle on this, I think.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- I don't know. I have no idea.- No.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34But we can make up some names of bridges. This should be fun. Um...
0:38:34 > 0:38:35OK. Er...
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Can you think of anything? - No, I can't, no.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Think of places in New York, what they might have called it after.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Long Island.- Long Island Bridge, yeah. Or Long Island tunnel.- Yep.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Um...- Rhode Island.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Rhode Island bridge, yeah. Might as well.- Definitely Long Island.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Is there a Washington... Or Lincoln, is there a Lincoln Bridge?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Could be.- We'll try that. Lincoln Bridge.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59So, Lincoln Bridge, Long Island Tunnel...
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Long Island Tunnel, Rhode Island Bridge or something?- Yeah.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- That sounds good.- Yeah. - OK, you sure you're...happy?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06- I think so.- I think we're happy.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- As good as it's going to get. - OK, well, we'll stop the clock.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Your time is now up.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14We were looking for New York bridges and tunnels.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I now need your three answers.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19We think there might be a Lincoln Bridge.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- And then we've got two guesses.- Yes.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Which is the Long Island Tunnel... - Yeah.- And the Rhode Island Bridge.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Of those three, which do you think
0:39:28 > 0:39:30is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Probably the Lincoln Bridge
0:39:32 > 0:39:35cos it's the only one that I think might be real.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36LAUGHTER
0:39:36 > 0:39:39OK, the Lincoln Bridge we will put last.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Which do you think is your least likely?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Probably Rhode Island.- Rhode Island Bridge, I think is the least likely.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- And what was your middle one? - Long Island Tunnel.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51OK, let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Rhode Island Bridge,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Long Island Tunnel,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Lincoln Bridge.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59OK, we were looking for the bridges and tunnels of New York.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Your first and least confident answer was Rhode Island Bridge.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Remember, you only need one pointless answer to win the jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Rhode Island Bridge. Is it correct,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11and if it is, how many people said it? This for £3,250.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14No! Bad luck!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17There's no Rhode Island Bridge, I'm afraid.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- That's not a pointless answer, so only two more shots at today's jackpot.- Fair enough.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24If you won that £3,250, what would you do with it, Tim?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27There's a volunteer project in Africa that I'd like to go on.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29I'd also probably donate some money
0:40:29 > 0:40:32to a charity event I'm helping to organise
0:40:32 > 0:40:33at a vet school called the Rodeo.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Very good indeed. Very good. Adam.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I'd also donate to the same charity event as well,
0:40:38 > 0:40:40cos we're both involved in it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44I'd probably also put some money away, just for general university
0:40:44 > 0:40:46and then go on holiday, I think.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49General university, brackets - drink.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50LAUGHTER
0:40:50 > 0:40:53OK, now, we are looking for New York bridges and tunnels.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Let's hope nobody said your next answer - Long Island Tunnel.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00It has to be correct, it has to be pointless,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03and if it's both those things, you'll win that jackpot of £3,250.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Long Island tunnel. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09No!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Bad luck.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Everything - everything - is riding on the Lincoln Bridge.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19We wanted bridges and tunnels of New York.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23To win that jackpot, £3,250, this has to be correct and pointless.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Lincoln Bridge.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28No!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Bad luck! I'm sorry.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Tough. Really tough.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Unfortunately, you didn't manage
0:41:36 > 0:41:39to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42or indeed that all-important correct answer.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You had a good crack at it. You don't win today's jackpot
0:41:45 > 0:41:48of £3,250, which will roll over, but you've been superb contestants.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51It's been brilliant having you on Pointless,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and you do take away our Pointless Trophy, so very well done.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Yeah, no Lincoln Bridge. There is a Lincoln Tunnel, though.- Oh...
0:42:02 > 0:42:06But it would have scored one point, so would've been upsetting, I think.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09During your deliberations, talking about Lincoln,
0:42:09 > 0:42:10you talked about Washington.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12If I gave you a choice of two,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16would you have gone for Washington Bridge or George Washington Bridge?
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Just Washington Bridge, probably.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Both pointless answers.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Both of them. AUDIENCE GROANS
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Let's look at some of other pointless answers.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28145th Street Bridge, Alexander Hamilton Bridge,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. All of those pointless.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34George Washington, there it is. Henry Hudson, Madison Avenue.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Robert F Kennedy Bridge, Third Avenue Bridge and University Heights Bridge.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41One of those where you can take a guess, and you did your best.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44It was tough luck, but well done, anyone at home who got those.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Tim and Adam, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thank you both so much for playing.
