0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:28the quiz show where the aim of the game
0:00:28 > 0:00:30is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now welcome, Peter and Debbie.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42How do you two know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44She's my daughter. My eldest daughter.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Your eldest daughter. And where are you from, Debbie?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Boreham Wood in Hertfordshire. - How about you, Peter?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm from Frimley Green, where the darts come from.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Very good! Frimley Green. What do you do, Peter?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- I'm retired now. - And what did you do?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I was in the international transport business for 35-odd years.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So whereabouts did you transport to?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Europe, or beyond?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Really anywhere in the world.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I mean, I think I worked it out.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14I've visited 54 countries, slept in 90 different cities.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16What a boring life I've had, eh?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I wouldn't say!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21SLEPT in different cities. That's a funny way of putting it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Sounds rather racy, Peter! - LAUGHTER
0:01:24 > 0:01:28"I've slept in 94 different cities."
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Want to make it 95?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32LAUGHTER
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So other than world geography, what would be a good topic?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Erm, I like the older American musicals.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41OK, that's quite specific.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Politics.- Politics would be good for you? Right.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- A lot of people say that's their least favourite subject. - Yes, that's what I'm hoping.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Debbie, what do you do?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I'm a school secretary at a primary school.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I'm a great one for the food.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So along with that is a diet club and the gym.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59SHE LAUGHS
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Excellent! Do you cook a lot?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Yes, and I've got more cookery books than anything else in the house.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06My husband despairs.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Very best of luck, Peter and Debbie. It's lovely to have you on the show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Next, welcome back Steve and Gareth. You were on the show last time.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17This is your second and final chance.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Remind us how you two know each other.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Steve's the boyfriend of my younger sister.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And what happened last time, Steve?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Erm, we don't read a lot,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29so the literature round was pretty much our worst subject.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So we got 200, which is quite good.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Oh, yes, that's right. You were the 200 club, Round Two.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Not so bad. What would you like to see today, Gareth?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Sport, maybe some movies.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Movies served us quite well last time we were here.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK, very good. Steve, how about you?
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Music. Big on '80s and '90s music because of my mobile DJ-ing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Do you still do the mobile DJ-ing? - I do, occasionally.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, let's hope we see more of you than we did last time.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Best of luck.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Next, we welcome back Fiona and Paul.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You were also on the show last time.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Remind us how you know each other.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- We're married.- You're married.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And how did you do last time, Paul?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Well, a bit of a disaster, really. - It was, it was a terrible disaster!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I was expecting great things from you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Erm, well, it was a category that unfortunately
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Fiona didn't know anything about. - Ben Stiller.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Ben Stiller films, yeah.- Who?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- Exactly.- Well...Ha-ha!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Ben Stiller. Now you know who he is now, Fiona?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- No! - LAUGHTER
0:03:23 > 0:03:25What's going to be good? It won't be Ben Stiller. You can relax.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Human biology, nutrition, musicals.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Anything you'd hate to see come up today?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We would hate soaps.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- That would be a disaster.- Or sports.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, not totally on sports.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I would be all right on sport, but Fiona would be a problem.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Fiona wouldn't enjoy it. Sport and Ben Stiller?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- No!- Yes!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Anyway, very best of luck to you, Fiona and Paul.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm sure we'll see much more of you today.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And finally, we welcome back Mark and Bevis.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54You were also on the show last time. Remind us how you know each other.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55We're brothers.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59And remind us what happened last time, Bevis.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Er, we did OK. We got to the head-to-head.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I mean, you looked like you were absolutely cruising
0:04:04 > 0:04:05through the head-to-head.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And then Ray and Marion suddenly plucked an answer out of thin air,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11made up an answer that happened to be right and beat yours.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15We saw a RAY of hope and it was snatched away.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Yeah, it was, appropriately enough by Ray, in fact.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18LAUGHTER
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Bevis, remind us what you do for a job.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I work for a social housing company.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I provide housing support for people.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29But we discovered last time you are the leading light
0:04:29 > 0:04:31of the Torquay Amateur Dramatic Society.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32I do some stuff, yeah, with them.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36You've been in the "Scottish play".
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Mac... Macbeth.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38The S...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Oh, well, THANKS, Richard(!) I was specially...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Because last time when Macbeth came up and... Oh.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Last time Macbeth came up
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and I mentioned it, I stubbed my toe as I was leaving.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'll tell you something else about Macbeth.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53People say you shouldn't say Macbeth. I don't see why. Just say Macbeth.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Yeah? - What's Macbeth going to do?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Yeah? - It's nonsense, isn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01All those heavy bits of machinery,
0:05:01 > 0:05:06just hanging by a thread above your head and mine.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11LAUGHTER
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Woo-oh!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Oh, dear. Now there we are, it's all fine.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Bevis has played... Bevis has... - LAUGHTER
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Bevis has played Macbeth.- Hm?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Bevis played Macbeth... - Don't say Bevis!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25LAUGHTER
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Don't you know anything about Torquay amateur dramatics?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Say Bevis, it's bad luck.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Mark and Bevis, it's great to have you back on the show.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You made it to the head-to-head last time.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I have every hope you will again today.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We'll find out more about you during the show.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42There's only one person left for me to introduce, a man blacklisted
0:05:42 > 0:05:45from every pub quiz in the country on account of his obscure knowledge.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Hiya.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Hello, hiya.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54APPLAUSE
0:05:54 > 0:05:55There you go.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- There it is.- There it is.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'm not going to tire of that joke.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02LAUGHTER
0:06:02 > 0:06:04How are you, are you well?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Yeah, I'm very well, thank you. - Excellent.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09We've got three returning pairs today, so a very familiar line-up
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and last time Mark and Bevis did very well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13They were unlucky because they actually lost out to a fluke.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15They lost out to a guess,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17so they'll be very hard to beat this time, I think.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It should be a very close contest, especially as
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Round One should be very good for Peter, I think.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I look forward to that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people
0:06:26 > 0:06:27before the show.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But we're looking for the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38What everyone is trying to do is to find a pointless answer,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave, and every time
0:06:42 > 0:06:45that happens, if it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53so today's jackpot starts off at £5,250.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Right, in this first round each of you must give me one answer
0:07:07 > 0:07:09and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:07:13 > 0:07:15eliminated, and if anyone gives an incorrect answer
0:07:15 > 0:07:18they will score the maximum of 100 points, so try and avoid those.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21OK, our first category today is Currencies.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27and who's going to go second?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39OK, our question concerns ISO Currency Codes. Richard.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Yes, as you know,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43if you've been to a bureau de change, every world currency
0:07:43 > 0:07:46has a three letter ISO currency code, so for example, USD is US dollars.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49We're going to give you seven of those codes in each pass.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Can you tell us the name of the country and currency
0:07:51 > 0:07:52that those codes stand for, please?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58A couple of easy ones but some very tough ones there as well.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I don't doubt it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03OK, Peter and Debbie, you all drew lots before the show
0:08:03 > 0:08:04and today, you are going first.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07So, we're looking for the countries
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and currencies of these ISO codes and we have got...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'll read those all one more time.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So there we are.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Blimey, Debbie, good luck with that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Gee, thanks. Yes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Right, unfortunately I do only think I only know the one which is going
0:08:42 > 0:08:47to be really high, which is GBP, which is the Great Britain sterling.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Great Britain sterling, says Debbie, GBP, Great Britain sterling.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Is that right and if it is, how many people knew that answer?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Ooh, 79. Well... - I knew it would be high.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It's 21 better than 100.
0:09:01 > 0:09:0279.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You may find that that's 21 better
0:09:05 > 0:09:08than quite a few people score in this round.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09We'll see. Richard.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You'd have thought it'd have got more than that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Do you know the Scots Gaelic term for pound sterling is punnd Sasannach?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16- Is it really?- Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Properly?- Yeah. - Thank you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Steve, how's the board look to you? - All right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26There's three or four that I know apart from the one that's gone.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I'm going to go for the top one, that's Thailand and the baht.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32The Thailand baht.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35The Thai baht, you are saying, let's see if that's right
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and if it is, let's see how many people said the Thai baht.
0:09:46 > 0:09:4725.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:5125 for the Thai baht, very well done, Steve.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Thai baht, Richard.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Good answer, Steve, 100 satang make a baht.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58It sounds delicious.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Mm.- Mm. I'm not sure
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I could have a whole hundred satang in my baht,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- but a baht, mm. - LAUGHTER
0:10:04 > 0:10:06There we are. Paul.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I've got a couple I know.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13One I'm sure of, one I'm pretty sure of,
0:10:13 > 0:10:18so I'm going to try CHF, Switzerland franc.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22CHF, the Swiss franc, says Paul. Let's see if that's right
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and if it is, let's see how many people said the Swiss franc, CHF.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:3417. Very well done.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37APPLAUSE
0:10:37 > 0:10:39That's a great answer, Paul. Swiss franc.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Good answer. The only place in Europe they still use francs.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Yeah?- That's at time of recording, yes.- Yes.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48By the time this goes out, they'll all be back to them, won't they?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51LAUGHTER
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Mark, you're the last person to have this board.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Now, I saw you nodding vigorously then.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think this might be a good subject for you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01There were a few that, yeah, I knew the Thai baht,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05guessed the franc and so I'm guessing you've got
0:11:05 > 0:11:08the Australian dollar at the bottom, I'm guessing maybe
0:11:08 > 0:11:12a Venezuelan dollar in the middle, but a few years ago I went to
0:11:12 > 0:11:16South Africa so I'm going to go for ZAR, South African rand.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18The South African rand, ZAR.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Let's see if that's right
0:11:20 > 0:11:24and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Well done, it's right.
0:11:26 > 0:11:2817 our lowest score in the pass so far.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33You've beaten that, 6, very well done indeed, Mark.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- That's a great answer, 6 for the South African rand. - APPLAUSE
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Good answer, Mark.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40This round didn't cause anyone any troubles at all.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I thought it might do.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It replaced the South African pound in 1961.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Let's take a look through the other ones.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You're quite right, the bottom one is the Australian dollar,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51that would have scored you 71.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55If you'd said Venezuelan dollar, you'd have scored 100 points.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's the Vietnamese dong.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It would have scored you 3 points.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And KES is the Kenyan shilling, which would have scored you 7 points,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07so the Vietnamese dong is the best answer on that board.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10And let's face it, the funniest.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12OK, let's take a look at the scores, we're halfway through the round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Mark and Bevis, you are on 6, very well done indeed,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21a lovely low score, then we come up to 17, where we find Paul and Fiona,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24up to 25, where Steve and Gareth are.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Then up to 79 for Debbie and Peter.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Yes, that's quite a high score. - It is.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Peter, luckily you are the man to reverse the fortunes.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45OK, we've got seven more ISO codes on the board and here they come.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46We have got...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I'll read them all one more time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09OK, now remember, we are looking for the countries
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and currencies represented by these ISO codes and obviously
0:13:12 > 0:13:16you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Now then, Bevis, Mark did fantastically well there...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- He did. - ..with a low score of six.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22He did. I'm not very good on this.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Are you going to be able to match this?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27The high scorers at the moment are Peter and Debbie on 79,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- which means a score of 72 or less from you...- OK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31..will be enough to see you through.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36There's a couple there that I think are probably obvious
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and I'm going to have to choose one because I don't know the others.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I'm going to go for INR, Indian rupee.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The INR, you're saying, is the Indian rupee.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51There's your red line.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Indian rupee, is it right?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yep, it is, very well done
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and you are through to the next round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0424, great answer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:0724 takes your total up to a nice round 30.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08APPLAUSE
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Richard. - Safely through, Bevis.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13India one of the first ever countries to introduce coins,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15from the sixth century BC.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Rupees have been around since the 1500s.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Fiona, you are on 17.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22The high scorers are still Peter and Debbie on 79,
0:14:22 > 0:14:27which means 61 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Well, I was going to go for the Indian rupee.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I know, I think, two others.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Of those, I think possibly the best one score-wise
0:14:38 > 0:14:41could be JPY, Japanese yen.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The Japanese yen, JPY. There it is.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46There's your red line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49If you get below that red line you are through to the next round.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53JPY, is it the Japanese yen? How many people said it?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's right.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Ooh, 64,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04that scores you. Takes your total up to 81.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06APPLAUSE
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Richard. - Close-run thing now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Do you know what yen means, literally, in Japan?
0:15:10 > 0:15:11In Japan, no.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It means "round object".
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- That's good, isn't it? - That's nice, isn't it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Yeah, it's exactly what it is.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So remember, we're looking for the countries
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and the currencies represented by these codes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Gareth, you're on 25, the high scorers are Fiona and Paul on 81.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30If you could score 55 or less
0:15:30 > 0:15:31you are through to the next round.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36OK, well, Japanese yen was going to be my answer so that's gone.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The only one I think I know, and I'm going to have to go for it,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41NZD, that's New Zealand dollar.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44The New Zealand dollar, the NZD you're going to go for.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Here's your red line.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You want to get below that red line, ideally, to see yourselves
0:15:49 > 0:15:51through to the next round.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The New Zealand dollar, says Gareth. Is it right?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56How many people said it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57It's right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Ooh, it's a high score. - APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:0573, takes your total up to 98.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Richard.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Yes, a pretty big score, especially considering
0:16:08 > 0:16:12your opponent's slept in 94 cities in the world.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yeah, Peter, you are the last person to have this board
0:16:15 > 0:16:16so you can tidy up here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Before you do, I'm just going to point out that the high scorers
0:16:19 > 0:16:21on 98 are Gareth and Steve.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26You're on 79, which means you must score 18 or less.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29There's one I certainly know, do you want me to go through them?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Go through them if you like.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34SEK is the Swedish krona, but the real gamble will be RWF,
0:16:34 > 0:16:35we'll try the Rwandan franc.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Let's have a gamble.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40The Rwandan franc, says Peter.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, he's good, isn't he, for RWF?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45RWF, Rwandan franc. This could be pointless, maybe it's pointless,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Peter, in which case you'll add 250 quid to our jackpot.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The Rwandan franc, let's see if it's right and if it is
0:16:50 > 0:16:53how many people said it. There is your red line,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55you have to get below that or we say goodbye to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Rwandan franc.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's right. Very well done, Peter.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04OK, it's all going in the right direction,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07down it goes, down it goes, you've done it!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Very well done, Peter, that scores you 1 point
0:17:12 > 0:17:15and it rounds your score up to a lovely low 80 points,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17very well done indeed.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19That's the way to play Pointless, isn't it?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Very, very well played, Peter.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Rwandan franc, also a guy who drinks in my local pub, Rwandan Frank.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27LAUGHTER
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Funnily enough, if you'd gone for SEK as well, Swedish krona,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32you also would have qualified.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35You didn't need to take the risk because that's only 17 points.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39PLN is the Polish zloty, it would have scored you 2 points
0:17:39 > 0:17:43and up at the top of the board, MXN, it's the Mexican peso.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That would have scored 3 points.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So RWF, Rwandan franc, very much the best answer on that board.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Well done if you got all those at home.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53OK, well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So at the end of the first round, the losing pair with the highest
0:17:56 > 0:17:59score, I'm afraid, Gareth and Steve.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Oh dear, oh dear, and you being returners and all that.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Yeah, afraid so. - This really is goodbye.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06It's obvious once you see the answers,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08but if you have to guess them...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10The Mexican peso, after thinking about it,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I would have known that, but...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15You know, I'd never have got that, MXN, but there we are.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You've been excellent contestants.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Thank you so much for playing, Gareth and Steve.- Thank you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23APPLAUSE
0:18:23 > 0:18:26But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34There's only going to be room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36so one of the teams in front of me now will be
0:18:36 > 0:18:38leaving at the end of this round.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43OK, our category for Round Two is Football.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47who's going to go second?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56OK, let's find out the question.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many United football teams as they could.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Richard?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04We want any team that played in any of the four
0:19:04 > 0:19:06professional divisions of English football
0:19:06 > 0:19:11in 2011-2012 with the word "United" in their name, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Debbie, we are looking for United football teams in the top four
0:19:19 > 0:19:21English football leagues.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm going to have to go with one of the very obvious ones,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Newcastle United.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Which will be right up the top. - Newcastle United.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31They hope!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Let's see if that's correct.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Newcastle United.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40It's right!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Down it goes, 49. - Lower than I thought.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:48 > 0:19:5149 for Newcastle United. Richard?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Not bad at all, Debbie.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Not a bad score. In the Premier League, obviously.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Paul?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You've had a little moment to think,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02what is the most obscure United football team you can think of?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I have one which I think is right but I'm not 100% sure.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11So, I think I'll go for Leeds United.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Leeds United, says Paul, let's see if that's right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Leeds United.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yep, absolutely right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:2460!
0:20:24 > 0:20:25APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:2760.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Toon on 49, Leeds 60.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Leeds United is a big name.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Newcastle, maybe people think they are just called Newcastle.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Whereas Leeds, it's Leeds United.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Now then, Bevis?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42OK, I can think of a few,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47but I'm going to have to go for Torquay United.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54Your hometown, Torquay United. Very well done.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I say that, let's see if it's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59And if it is, how many of 100 people said Torquay United. Brilliant.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02It's right.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Eight. Once again, Mark and Bevis scoring in the single figures.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- APPLAUSE - Torquay United.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well done, Bevis, currently in League Two.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20That fell very nicely for Bevis. Perfect.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Excellent! Halfway through the round. Thank you, Richard.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Eight, Bevis and Mark.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Once again, the pair to beat.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Then we come to 49, where we find Debbie and Peter.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Then 60 for Paul and Fiona. So, Fiona, we need an ace,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42obscure United football team from you in the next pass.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Otherwise we'll have to say goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55OK, we are looking for United football teams.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Obviously you're trying to find the most obscure one.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Mark, you are on eight.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The high scorers are Paul and Fiona on 60,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05which means a score of 51 or less will see you straight through
0:22:05 > 0:22:07to the head-to-head once again.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I think I'm going to undo all of Bevis's work and take away
0:22:12 > 0:22:16the geezer reputation and admit I don't know much about football.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20So, I'm going to go for Sheffield United.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Sheffield United? You are on eight, you want to be scoring 51 or less.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27There's your red line.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Sheffield United, is it right? How many people said it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36You've done it!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You have done it!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- 35, very well done, Mark. - APPLAUSE
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Takes your total to 43, you're through. Richard?
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Well done, the oldest of all the United clubs, been around since 1889.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Fiona? You are the high scorers on 60.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Your only hope is to find a really, really low-scoring,
0:22:56 > 0:23:01obscure United team in the top four leagues of English football.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Portsmouth.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Portsmouth United? What do you think, Paul?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think it's 100.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Portsmouth?- I'm afraid.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said Portsmouth.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21There's no red line for you because you are the high scorers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Bad luck, Fiona.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29I'm afraid Paul is right, that is an incorrect answer.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32That scores you 100, takes your total up to an unbeatable 160.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Richard?- That's weird, Portsmouth usually score nothing!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37LAUGHTER
0:23:40 > 0:23:42There you go.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44It's just Portsmouth, I'm afraid. Portsmouth FC.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Peter, the good news is you are through to the head-to-head
0:23:47 > 0:23:49whatever you score.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52But I have a feeling you might be quite good at this?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56There is the obvious one, Manchester United.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57And there's Southend United.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00But as we're through, I won't gamble on Southend.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So I'm going to stick with Manchester United.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Because I'm a coward. - That makes no sense at all.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You're through anyway, so why not gamble?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09OK, Southend United.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK, there we are, Peter, thank you, Southend United.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15There's no red line for you because you are through whatever happens.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Let's see what our 100 people said, Southend United.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Is right!
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Might it be a pointless answer?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It's a great answer either way, Peter. Takes your total to 54.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34APPLAUSE
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Southend, Richard? - Well played. Currently in League Two.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41There's only one pointless answer in the whole of English
0:24:41 > 0:24:43professional football and that is Hereford United.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45So very well done if you said that.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47We have Hartlepool United for 2.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Carlisle United, 3. Some other low scorers, Peterborough United,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Colchester United, Oxford United.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54The top three, though.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Debbie gave us our third one, Newcastle United, 49.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Paul gave us the second biggest, Leeds United, 60.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06What do you think Manchester United scored?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Was it the 100, have they gone the big 100?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It wasn't, they dropped a couple of points at home,
0:25:12 > 0:25:13it's 98 points.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Thanks, Richard. At the end of that round,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20the losing pair with the highest score,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'm afraid, is Fiona and Paul.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It was Ben Stiller last time, and this time,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27blooming United football teams.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We've had a great time anyway, thank you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34I knew Carlisle United, I was going to go for it, I should have done.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That was a mistake. Never mind, too late now.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Fiona and Paul, thanks for playing, been lovely having you on.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41APPLAUSE
0:25:41 > 0:25:44But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even
0:25:44 > 0:25:46more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Congratulations, Mark and Bevis, Peter and Debbie,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57you are only one round away from the final and the chance
0:25:57 > 0:26:02to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £5,250.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Clearly, only one pair can play for that, so to decide who,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12you are now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You are now allowed to confer.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Here comes your first question.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32And it concerns Radio DJs and Presenters.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Radio DJs and Presenters, Richard?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39For this question, we will show you five pictures of radio DJs
0:26:39 > 0:26:40and presenters.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Can you identify them and pick the most obscure, please?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45OK, thanks very much.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Let's reveal our five radio DJs and/or presenters.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49And we've got...
0:27:03 > 0:27:09OK, so there go our five DJs and presenters.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Now, Mark and Bevis,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13you've played best so far so you get to go first.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16THEY WHISPER
0:27:18 > 0:27:21OK, we have decided on D as Jo Wiley.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24D, Jo Whiley?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You're saying D, Jo Whiley?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Peter and Debbie, you can do all of your conferring out loud.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Not a lot to confer, really.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I have a problem, I only listen to Classic FM
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and I don't think any of those guys work for Classic FM.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41C looks more classical, we'll go for one of your classical ones for C.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42He's in a dickie bow.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Let's try William Browne, with an E, for C.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49LAUGHTER
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Is that a person you actually listen to on the radio?
0:27:52 > 0:27:53I've absolutely no idea.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54William Browne...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- With an E.- With an E.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Which one would you like to say? C? OK, it could have been B.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06OK, C you are saying William Browne with an E.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Mark and Bevis are saying D, Jo Whiley.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10D, Jo Whiley, let's see if it's right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14If it is, let's see how many people said Jo Whiley for D.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16It's right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:2326.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25APPLAUSE
0:28:28 > 0:28:30This is extraordinary, because last time
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Mark and Bevis played, the pair they were playing against
0:28:34 > 0:28:38guessed an answer and beat them.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44Who would believe in a million years...? C has been
0:28:44 > 0:28:46identified by Peter and Debbie as William Browne.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Let's see if it's right, and if it is let's see how many people said William Brown with an E.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56No. No, sorry no. That would have been too good to be true.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00I'm afraid William Browne with an E is an incorrect answer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Which means Mark and Bevis,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04after one question, you are ahead 1-0. Richard?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07The very lovely Jo Whiley wins you the point.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Let's go through all of them. We'll get to C in a minute.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14A, talking of lovely people, it's the lovely Scott Mills from Radio 1.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16He would have scored you 16 points.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19B also from Radio 1, co-presents with Nick Grimshaw, it's Annie Mac.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22She would have scored you six points.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23C is the best answer on the board
0:29:23 > 0:29:26and least likely to present a classical show.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29He is from Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 6, all sorts of things,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Steve Lamacq would have scored you three points.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37And E is a Classic FM presenter, Paul Gambaccini.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Course he is.- And that would have scored you 29 points.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42So would have lost you the point anyway.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Thanks. Here comes your second question. Peter and Debbie,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48we need you to win this to stay in the game.
0:29:48 > 0:29:55It concerns Cockney rhyming slang. Richard?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57We're going to show you a list of Cockney rhyming slang phrases
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and what they stand for, but we've missed out one of the words.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Can you fill in the gap, please?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06And the phrases are as they appear in the Oxford Dictionary of Slang.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Best of luck.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13OK, let's reveal our five clues to Cockney rhyming slang.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14And we've got...
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I'll read them all one more time...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Peter and Debbie, you go first this time.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51We've had a long discussion but we'll go with Boracic lint, skint.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Boracic lint for skint, say Peter and Debbie.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Now, Mark and Bevis.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Ruby Murray. - Everybody knows Ruby Murray.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Plates of meat, feet.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Scapa Flow, I'm tempted to say for go.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- On your Tod Jones? - I'm thinking Todd Malone.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Shall we go for plates of meat? - Playing safe.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20All right, we'll go for plates of meat, feet.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Plates of meat, feet, say Mark and Bevis.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Peter and Debbie have said Boracic lint, skint.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33- Yep.- Yeah.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It's right, but how far down is it going to go?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Boracic lint takes you down to 31.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42APPLAUSE
0:31:42 > 0:31:45OK, Mark and Bevis, you were playing safe with
0:31:45 > 0:31:47plates of meat, for feet.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54It's right.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It is high. 82 for plates of meat.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03Which means, after two questions, you are absolutely even. Richard?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Boracic lint is a type of medical dressing,
0:32:05 > 0:32:06shortened to boracic - "I'm boracic."
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Plates of meat first recorded in 1887 in a poem.
0:32:10 > 0:32:17Now, Ruby Murray, do you know where the OED first recalls that?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- No.- 1983, Only Fools And Horses.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Really?- Yes.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It must have been around before, but that's its first...
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Its first citation?- Yes. - That's extraordinary.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That would have scored 77 points, not much better than plates of meat.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32And, guys, you're right about Scapa, Scapa Flow, go.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35But it wouldn't have won you the point either, it would have been 40.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37On your Tod would have won you the point,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39the best on the board, only two points.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43It was a jockey, and his name was Tod Sloan. On your Tod Sloan.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Here's your third question. Whoever wins this
0:32:46 > 0:32:49goes through to the final and plays for the massive jackpot.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54It concerns...the Mediterranean Sea.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57For this deciding question,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01we will give you five clues to facts about the Mediterranean Sea.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about the Mediterranean.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08And we have got...
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I'll read those one more time.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45There we are, Five clues to facts about the Mediterranean.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50You're trying to answer the one that you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Mark and Bevis, you get to go first.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54THEY WHISPER
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- OK.- OK.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01We're going to go with the largest island in the Med,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03which we think is Cyprus.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Cyprus, you are going to say, the largest island in the Med.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Peter and Debbie?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13We were thinking the smallest UN member might be Malta.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16The Red Sea is linked by the Suez Canal.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18The African country, I have no idea.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20But I think we'll chicken out of it
0:34:20 > 0:34:24and go for the longest river to flow into the Med is the Nile.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28OK, you're going to say the Nile is the longest river to flow into the Mediterranean.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Mark and Bevis, you have said Cyprus is the largest island
0:34:32 > 0:34:36in the Mediterranean. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39how many people said it. Whoever wins this point goes through
0:34:39 > 0:34:40to the final.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Cyprus.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Ooh!
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Bad luck, Mark and Bevis, an incorrect answer, which means,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Peter and Debbie, you merely have to be correct with your answer
0:34:53 > 0:34:57of the Nile as the longest river to flow into the Med.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Let's see if it's right.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Yep, you've done it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:0727.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09APPLAUSE
0:35:09 > 0:35:1327 for the Nile, which means, after three questions,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Mark and Bevis, I'm afraid you've been beaten again
0:35:16 > 0:35:19in the head-to-head. After three questions,
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Peter and Debbie, you are through to the final, 2-1. Richard.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Well played. It flows into the Nile via the Nile Delta.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Cyprus is the third largest island in the Med. Second is Sardinia.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34The top one, which would've won the point, it's only 14 points,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36is Sicily.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Linked to the Red Sea by this waterway. That is the Suez Canal.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Would've scored you 31.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45The smallest UN member state with a Med coastline is Monaco.
0:35:45 > 0:35:486 points that would've scored you.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And the African country with the longest Med coastline
0:35:50 > 0:35:52is Libya.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55That would've scored you 10 points. A tough board,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57so well done if you got all five of those at home.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Mark and Bevis.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- That's so unfair.- I know.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Well, bad luck, Mark and Bevis, you've been brilliant in both shows.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Straight to the head-to-head, excellent contestants.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I'm sorry we won't see you in the final, you've been brilliant. Thank you for playing.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16APPLAUSE
0:36:17 > 0:36:20For Peter and Debbie, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Congratulations, Peter and Debbie, you fought off
0:36:28 > 0:36:30the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:38 > 0:36:43and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £5,250.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46CHEERING AND WHOOPING
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Well, the rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55We haven't had any on the show today. You only have to find one
0:36:55 > 0:36:59and you will leave here with that jackpot of £5,250.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Firstly, you've got to choose a category and you can choose from these five options.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Well, Racehorses, forget. Country Music.- Forget.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Classic FM, Literary Awards.- No. - Modern Art.- No.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Hobson's choice, Dad. Down to you. - I think it has to be UK Politics.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23You said politics would be good for you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Let's hope it's going to be a friendly UK politics.- Yes.- OK.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Let's find out what your question is. Here it comes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Liberal Democrat MPs elected in 2010 as they could. Richard.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44We're looking for any of the 57 Liberal Democrat MPs returned to the House of Commons in 2010.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Very best of luck.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:48 > 0:37:53and all you need to win that £5,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yep. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Go for it.- Clegg, Vince Cable.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Huhne.- Huhne.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister. Vince Cable.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Erm, somebody Alexander, the Treasury man,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16the redhead that the Labour people hate.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Oh...- Something Alexander.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Yes, I know the one you mean,
0:38:20 > 0:38:24but I can't think of... And I can't think of the guy that's taken over from Huhne.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I haven't seen the papers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I don't follow politics, particularly, as you well know.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- So...- God, I thought I knew them, but I don't.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- I just don't know. Where are we up to?- 18 seconds.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- So Huhne?- Yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- I mean, Clegg...- Vince Cable. - Vince Cable's less likely.- Yeah.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47That's the only three I can think of, off the top of my head.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- Five seconds left.- Thanks.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- We've only got three, but I think they're all very popular. - I don't think we're going to do it.
0:38:53 > 0:39:00OK, that's your time up, I'm afraid. We were looking for Lib Dem MPs elected in 2010.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- I now need your three answers. - Well, Vince Cable.- Vince Cable.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Andrew Alexander.- Andrew Alexander, we'll put that in. Andrew Alexander.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Was it Chris Huhne.- Chris Huhne. - And Chris Huhne.- Yeah.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17OK, there are our three answers. What would you like to put last?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- What is your best shot? - Chris Huhne.- Chris Huhne last.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Which shall we put first? - Vince Cable.- Vince Cable.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26And we'll put Andrew Alexander in the middle.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28OK, let's put them up on the board in that order
0:39:28 > 0:39:30and here they come. We have got...
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Vince Cable, Andrew Alexander and Chris Huhne.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37We were looking for Lib Dem MPs elected in 2010.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Vince Cable was your first answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46You only have to find one pointless, remember, to win the jackpot.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49So, let's see how many people said Vince Cable.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52It's right.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Oh!
0:39:54 > 0:39:56It's right, now it has to go down to zero.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Blimey!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Were it to do that...- Unlikely. - ..you'd leave with £5,250.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0219.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04APPLAUSE
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Lower than I thought!
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Well, as an ex-stand-in leader of the party,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- 19 is remarkably low, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16OK, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23OK, your next answer was Andrew Alexander.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's see, Andrew Alexander, is it right and how many people said it?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31No!
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Bad luck.- What a surprise! - Bad luck.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- What would you do with £5,250? - A bit of a party, I think.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Seeing we're related, we'll have to invite everybody else as well.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- Yeah, a good party. - That blows it all.- Yeah.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51That's going to be a great party.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57OK, we're looking for Lib Dem MPs elected in 2010, your third and final answer was Chris Huhne.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05To win that jackpot, £5,250, it has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Chris Huhne.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Yeah, well, we knew it was right. Vince Cable took us down to 19.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Let's see how far down Chris Huhne can take us.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19If he goes all the way down to zero, he will win you £5,250.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Still going... Oh!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Wow!
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Oh, well.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Well, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I'm afraid, you don't win today's jackpot of £5,250,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36which will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40You have been fantastic contestants and you do, of course, get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Thank you. - We wouldn't want anything else.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:50So, Richard...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Yes, we asked 100 people before his resignation, actually.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I suspect he might score a bit more than four if you did it again now.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Debbie, you were thinking along the right lines, who was the person who took over Chris Huhne's job?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Yeah. - Because he was a pointless answer.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- That's...- Ed Davey, was his name. - Who?- Ed Davey.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09The man who took over from Ed Davey, Norman Lamb, a pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Let's take a look at a few more of them.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Alan Beith, the longest-serving Lib Dem MP was pointless.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Alastair Carmichael, who is MP for Orkney and the Shetlands.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Andrew George, who made part of his maiden speech in Cornish.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22All of those pointless.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25David Heath, the Deputy Leader of the House of Commons.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Don Foster, MP for Bath. There's Ed Davey.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31John Hemming, John Thurso and the President of the Lib Dems, Tim Farron,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35all of those are pointless answers, but very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Thank you very much, indeed. Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Peter and Debbie.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44It's been such fun having you on the show. You have been brilliant. Thank you for playing.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Thank you.- Thank you. - It's been brilliant.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE
0:42:49 > 0:42:53So, unfortunately, Peter and Debbie didn't win our jackpot today which rolls over,
0:42:53 > 0:42:58which means on the next show we will be playing for £6,250.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
