0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:30 > 0:00:32the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:32 > 0:00:34and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:41 > 0:00:43First we welcome Grant and Dan.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46You are first pair on the show this afternoon.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- How do you two know each other? - Well, we met when working together at a now defunct music superstore.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Whereabouts was that?- In Edinburgh. - A record superstore?- Yes, indeed.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Was that a famous mega-type store? - It may have been mega, yes.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Another one? End of Lothian Road? - Indeed, yes.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03That one on Princes Street. Very good.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I've bought a few records there in my time
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and I was always terrified of the people who worked in there.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- That was you two!- Probably. - CHUCKLING
0:01:11 > 0:01:14What you do now? Are you in other equally well-known record stores or...?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18No, I'm a music teacher and Dan is a bookseller.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Yeah, I work in a well-known high-street bookshop.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Very good indeed. Well, great to have you here. Best of luck on the show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Next, we welcome back Tara and Kerry.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You were on the show last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final and this is your second chance.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Reminder us, how do you two know each other?- We're sisters.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We work together, live together and we're family!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- And one of you works the other one? - Yeah, she works for me in my pub.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44So, how did you get knocked out last show?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46We got into an epic battle with Paul and Lee.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Oh, you did, you did! Oh, it was head-to-head, it was a proper ding-dong!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- It ran on hours and hours! - CHUCKLING
0:01:51 > 0:01:56That was last time, this is this time. What are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Food and drink would be good. Seeing as we're both in the pub. - Food and drink, of course.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, it's great to have you back on the show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Let's hope we see you all the way through to the final this time.- Yes, we will.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Very good. And next, we welcome Ingrid and Dave.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, how'd you two know each other?
0:02:09 > 0:02:14We're husband and wife and we met on holiday in Jordan.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Fantastic, and where are you from?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Dave's from Somerset and I was, originally, then, from Devon
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and I had to go all the way to Jordan
0:02:20 > 0:02:23to meet a man who lived 50 miles up the road!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- LAUGHTER - Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! And how long were you in Jordan for?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- 10 days.- And this was, on what day did you meet?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33On the evening before we flew, actually, in the hotel.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, fantastic, so you had a whole holiday of romance.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Alexander, it was April 3 at 7.30pm.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40ALL: Ahh!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- It was April 3 at 7.30pm... - 2000.- ..2000, that you met?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47That's incredibly romantic/weird that you've remembered...
0:02:47 > 0:02:49LAUGHTER
0:02:49 > 0:02:52..the precise details of that! Erm, so what you do, Ingrid?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'm retired now, it's what I was born to do!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Oh, excellent, excellent! Are you loving your retirement?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- I am, I'm loving every minute. - Filling your time?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04What's your favourite, favourite new activity?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Gardening, more gardening and more gardening.- Excellent.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Well, best of luck, it's lovely to have you here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And finally, we welcome back Eric and Margie,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14you were also on the show last time.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Remind us how you two know each other.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17We are boyfriend and girlfriend,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19we've been going out for about five years.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Five years! Come on, Eric!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22LAUGHTER
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- He's enthusiastic, isn't he? - Come on!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29So, Eric, what saw you out last time? What was the...?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31We went out in Round One
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and I think we tried to overcomplicate the question.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Oh, it was words ending in D-G-E.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40No, that was a good call, you did the right thing.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's usually words put together that are the Pointless ones.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- I think, this time, though, you're not going to make the mistake again. - No, not at all. No, definitely not.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Anyway, it's lovely to have you back on the show. Very, very best of luck this afternoon.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54We'll find out about all of you throughout the show.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56There is only one person left for me to introduce.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59In the battle between obscurity and irrelevance
0:03:59 > 0:04:02he is the standard-bearer of facts.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Hello. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Wow, well, good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- The top of the afternoon! - Yeah, how are you? Are you well?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- I'm very well, thank you.- Should be good today, two returning pairs.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- We didn't see the best of Eric and Margie last time, did we?- No.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25They got knocked out in the first round and were very unlucky to get knocked out, I think.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, I suspect they'll have a point to prove.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29I was just reading in the paper today,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32do you know what the average time a couple spends
0:04:32 > 0:04:35going out with each other before the boyfriend proposes?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's four years 11 months. Four years and 11 months. LAUGHTER
0:04:38 > 0:04:39I was just reading it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42We often talk about what's in the paper, so I thought I'd let you know.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44We do a lot, don't we?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Four years 11 months. - That's how long we've...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- That's the average!- Yeah. - Sorry, I didn't know that,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- That's interesting.- Interesting.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Perhaps we won't be the only people asking questions today?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58LAUGHTER
0:05:00 > 0:05:03OK. Just don't ask 100 people!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Excellent. Well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show
0:05:11 > 0:05:14but we are looking for the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16To stay in the game with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19our players must score as few points as they possibly can.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Now, what everyone's trying to do is find a Pointless answer,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28and every time that happens we will add another £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Now, Lee and Paul won the jackpot last time
0:05:31 > 0:05:35so the jackpot today starts off at £1,000, there we are.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Right, well, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44APPLAUSE
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Now, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01If you give me an incorrect answer you will score the maximum of 100 points,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03so try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Can you decide, in your pairs, who's going first, who's going second.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- THEY WHISPER - And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23OK, first round question this afternoon concerns...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Varieties of fruit and vegetables, Richard?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Yeah, on each pass we're going to give you seven names.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Each of those names is a variety of a fruit or vegetable.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39All you need to do is tell us what that particular fruit or vegetable is.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Give us a nice obscure one, you'll score fewer points
0:06:42 > 0:06:44but it was an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It's going to be 14 in all. See how you get on at home.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Well, this is sort of all new Pointless, isn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53This is a kind of Round Two question we used to have -
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- it's been given a battlefield promotion up to Round One. - LAUGHTER
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Although, I will say, we're having a traditional Round One question as Round Two,
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, but hey, let's go with it!- Good!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Good luck. Right, Grant and Dan, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15So, here we go, we're looking for the fruit or veg of which these are varieties.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16We have got...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I will read all of those again.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Right, there you go, Dan.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42As always you're looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people will have got.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm going to go for what I think is a type of pear. Conference pear.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48A Conference pear.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Let's see if that's right, a Conference pear,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and if it is, let's see how many people said Conference pear.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56He's right...
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Oh, 69.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59APPLAUSE
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- 69 for a Conference pear. - Yeah, big score, Dan, isn't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Almost all the pears we buy in Britain are Conference pears.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09About 90% of them.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Why they called Conference pears?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It's because you see so many of them together all the time.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- With those badges on? - LAUGHTER
0:08:15 > 0:08:18One pear is a pear. Two pears, that's a pair...
0:08:18 > 0:08:19any more than that's a conference!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22LAUGHTER
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Very well done, Dan, high score
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but you've taken probably the only answer everyone knew off the board.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So, very good tactically.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Tara, what are you thinking of the board behind me?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I haven't got a clue.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I wish I hadn't had food and drink now!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- But you said food and drink? - Not this kind of food and drink!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Do you do fruit and veg in the pub?- Not like this!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I'm going to take a wild stab. - Oh, goody!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm going to go for Inferno, a chilli.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I see what you've done. - I'm hoping.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56If I were ordering a pizza called that
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I would expect it to have a bit of that on it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Yeah.- You might be right. Inferno, chilli.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Good luck.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It is!- Oh, my God!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Very well done, Tara!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Look at that, 10!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- APPLAUSE - Well done, sister!- 10 points!
0:09:14 > 0:09:19And if I may say, 10 richly deserved points.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Very good, can't fault your reasoning.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Yeah, great work, Tara, very good. So, it's a chilli pepper.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Chillies are measured, their hotness is measured on the Scoville scale.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Wilber Scoville was the man who came up with that scale.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Erm, Ingrid! So, remember,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36we are looking for the names of the fruits of vegetables
0:09:36 > 0:09:38of which these are varieties.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43There's two there I think I know but which one's going to be the lowest?
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- I think I'll go with Savoy King and it's a cabbage.- Savoy King, cabbage.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Best of luck. Let's see if Savoy King is indeed a cabbage.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57It's right!
0:09:59 > 0:10:0053.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02APPLAUSE
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- 53 for Savoy King. - Yeah, a pretty big score.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11We'll ask at the end of the round what the other one was
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- and see if it would have been better. - And, Eric, we come to you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Is there anything left on the board that you know?- Just one I think.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So, obviously, that's going to have to be the one I go for
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and I think it's Braeburn, it's a type of apple.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Braeburn, a type of apple. - Potentially.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29There it is, middle of the board. Well, good luck with Braeburn.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Let's see if that is a type of apple and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Braeburn.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's an apple.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Ooh, 82!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40APPLAUSE
0:10:43 > 0:10:4482 for Braeburn.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Big score but I don't think you had much choice there. I think you had to do that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Discovered in 1952, by chance, in a New Zealand orchard, the Braeburn.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Was that going to be your other option, Ingrid, the Braeburn?- Yes.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Then you chose wisely there.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's go through the rest of the board, though.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Autumn Bliss, do you know what Autumn Bliss is?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03These are all difficult, the remaining ones.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It's actually a raspberry. Would've scored you seven points.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- A Moscato is a grape.- Oh.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Would've scored you 16 points.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And the best answer on the board, Musselburgh.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- It's a Musselburgh leek. - Oh!- It was the best answer, well done if you said that.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I was just about say potato, thank God you got there with leek!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- A Musselburgh leek. - A Musselburgh leek.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26- What's different about a Musselburgh leek?- It's from Musselburgh.- Yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And you have to call a Musselburgh plumber if you've got one. TITTERING
0:11:29 > 0:11:33On that note, let's look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, it's quite a wide field.
0:11:36 > 0:11:3710 is our lowest score.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Tara and Kerry, what a cracking score there. Wonderful.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Then we come up quite a long way to 53, where we find Ingrid and Dave,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46up to 69, Dan and Grant,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and then, at the top of the field, Eric and Margie on 82.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54So, Margie, you will have the pick of the crop on the next pass
0:11:54 > 0:11:56so make sure you choose wisely.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Can second players please take their places at the podium.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08OK, we're going to put seven more vegetables or fruit on the board
0:12:08 > 0:12:09and here they are. We have got...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I shall read those all again...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Now, remember, we are looking for the fruit or vegetable
0:12:36 > 0:12:39of which these are varietals.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Nice use of the word varietal there.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43LAUGHTER
0:12:43 > 0:12:47And you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, Margie, you are the highest scorers on 82.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Find one you know that's really obscure.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Yeah, I'm just debating whether to be safe or whether to...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59go for the one that I...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03it's in me head that I've got it completely right but...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I think I'm going to risk it, OK.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10I'm going to say Late Purple Sprouting, broccoli.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- Late Purple Sprouting, broccoli, you say.- Mm-hm!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Well, you are the highest scorers, so there's no red line for you,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20you just have to hope that's as nice a low score
0:13:20 > 0:13:23as you could have possibly got. Late Purple Sprouting,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27is it broccoli? If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28It's right!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Very well done, Margie.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- 36, that's a great score! - APPLAUSE
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Very, very well done. Takes your total up to 118.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Richard?- Yeah, you absolutely kept yourself in the game there, Margie.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Also, lovely to hear somebody with a north-eastern accent saying broccoli!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46"Broccoli"!
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- LAUGHTER - Said it beautifully and she scored beautifully, on both counts.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56- Anything else you want add on Late Purple Sprouting?- Er...no.- Good.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Dave, remember we're STILL looking for the names of the fruit or veg
0:14:00 > 0:14:02of which these are varieties.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The highest scorers remain Margie and Eric on 118, you are on 53.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Should you score 64 or less with your answer
0:14:09 > 0:14:12you are through to the next round.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I don't know too many of these
0:14:13 > 0:14:17and the one I know the best might be too high,
0:14:17 > 0:14:22so I'm going to gamble somewhat and could come unstuck
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but I think the one I'm going to go for, the Crown morello, is a cherry.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Crown morello, cherry, says Dave.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Let's see if that's right
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34There is your red line,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37below that red line you are through to the next round.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Crown morello is a cherry - how many people said it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's right.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47And you are through to the next round!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Look at that, 22!
0:14:49 > 0:14:50APPLAUSE
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Very well done. Richard?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Very nicely done, Dave, the largest of the cooking cherries.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Often used in pies and jams and cherry brandy as well.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05How many cooking cherr... I'm not going to throw that at you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08There's eight main varieties of cooking cherry,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- with the Crown morello being the largest.- The largest?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Yeah, just below that, your simple morello.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Below that, you got submorello... LAUGHTER
0:15:18 > 0:15:20below that you got morello junior... LAUGHTER
0:15:20 > 0:15:23below that you got morelignio... LAUGHTER
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and below that you got baby morello... TITTERING
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and below that you've got just a cherry.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Simple cherry.- Plain simple cherry. - Is that eight?- Yeah, probably.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Yeah.- Good. Thank you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Kelly...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Remember, we're still looking for the names of the fruit or veg
0:15:41 > 0:15:43of which these are varieties.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Erm...- I've got very good news for you, you can't go out.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Oh, all right, in that case I'm going to have a guess!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51The high scorers are still Margie and Eric on 118.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Even if you score 100 points you are OK.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'll have a guess at something random then.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'll say the bottom one is a carrot.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01You're going to say that the bottom one, Royal Chantenay, is a carrot.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Yes, sounds like carrots.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You're going to love them now, if it's right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07OK, Royal Chantenay, is it a carrot?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And if it is, how many people said carrot?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- It's a carrot! - Oh, my God, it's a carrot!
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Brilliant.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Oh my God!- Look at that, 10!
0:16:17 > 0:16:18APPLAUSE
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Very good!
0:16:21 > 0:16:2510 points for carrot takes your total up to 20,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29the lowest score on the board, and it's your total. Richard?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You knew it somewhere, Kelly. What a team, eh?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- What do you know about Joe Atherton? - Oh, Jo Atherton?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Lovely, lovely, lovely girl.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- No, Joe Atherton, yeah, a fella!- Yeah.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44He's from Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire
0:16:44 > 0:16:49and in 2007 grew the world's longest-ever carrot.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51How many feet long do you think Joe Atherton's carrot was?
0:16:51 > 0:16:52ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Joe Atherton's carrot? Was it taller than Joe Atherton?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I don't know how tall Joe Atherton is. LAUGHTER
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Was it, he's...sort of man size.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I'm going to say it's taller than Joe Atherton.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I'd be very surprised if it's not. - Seriously?!- Yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Was it long and thin or was it long and WHOA - massive?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I've used up all of my Joe Atherton carrot knowledge, I'm afraid. LAUGHTER
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- How long was it? - 19 feet long.- What?!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- ALL:- Whoa! - 19 feet long.- Oh, that's terrifying!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- It is, isn't it?- But was it 19 feet and really spindly
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and just WHEEE, like that?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Or...sorry, you've used up all your, you don't know?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Poor Joe's sitting at home going, "I've grown a 19-foot long carrot,"
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- and you're going, "Yeah, but that's a spindly little one!"- No, no!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34But imagine pulling it up,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36going, "Ooh, I think it's quite a, it's quite a...
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- "How hungry did you say you were, love?" - LAUGHTER
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Blimey!- Yeah. - That's a whole lot of carrot.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Well done, Joe, if you're watching. - Very, very well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Splendid. Well, Kelly,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- all of which was a very roundabout way of saying well done.- Thank you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Now, Grant, the moment of truth.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Remember, we're still looking for the names of the fruit or veg
0:17:58 > 0:18:00of which these are varieties.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- What's left on the board for you? - OK.- You can talk us through everything on it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's not my favourite subject, by a long way.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This, there's one that seems really obvious to me, being from Scotland,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11which is Maris Piper, which is a potato.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16I'm swithering between Oregon Sugar Pod being a pea...
0:18:16 > 0:18:21but as soon as it came up I thought champagne was a type of mushroom.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- So, I'm going to go with mushroom for champagne.- Champagne mushroom.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Here's your Red Line, below that Red Line, through. Good luck.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Champagne mushroom says Grant, is it right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Ahh!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It's not right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42This is a piece of brilliant news for Margie and Eric
0:18:42 > 0:18:44but it's terrible, I'm afraid, for you and Dan.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48That scores you 100 points and it takes your total up to 169,
0:18:48 > 0:18:49I'm sorry.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Richard?- Sorry, Grant, I've got French for mushroom is champignon,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55but champagne is the best answer on the board.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59It's not mushroom, it's rhubarb. Would have scored two points.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Rhubarb, champagne rhubarb.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04If you had said Maris Piper, you're absolutely right, it is a potato,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but it would've knocked you out as well
0:19:06 > 0:19:08cos it scored a mighty 80 points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11If you'd said Oregon Sugar Pod, again, you're absolutely right,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14it is a pea and that would have scored you 26 points,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17it would've seen you safely through to the next round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- And the Mirabelle de Nancy... - Is a plum!- It is a plum.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- It makes a delicious jam.- It's got six points. Mirabelle de Nancy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Do you know what the world's biggest plum...? I don't know! LAUGHTER
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of that round, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm so sorry, it's Grant and Dan.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37You've come all this way.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Obviously, we will be seeing you again next time,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Any lessons you'll be taking away from your Pointless experience?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Eat more fruit and veg! - LAUGHTER
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Eat more fruit and veg! There we are.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Lovely to have you on, we look forward to seeing you again
0:19:51 > 0:19:53when I'm sure you'll make it through to the final.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Thanks very much Grant and Dan! Great contestants. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:00 > 0:20:05But for the three remaining pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16so one of the teams will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19OK, our category for Round Two this afternoon is Film.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Film. Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Let's find out what the question is.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:36 > 0:20:41to name as many Danny DeVito films as they could.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Richard.- Yeah, any film made for cinema release for which Danny DeVito
0:20:45 > 0:20:48has received an acting credit prior to January 2012.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52We're not looking for TV films, documentaries,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54anything made for the Internet,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57but voice performances do count. Best of luck.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- So, Tara. Film. Good category for you?- Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Yeah.- I'm quite happy about this. - You're sounding quite upbeat.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I'm going to go for Austin Powers, Goldmember.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Austin Powers, Goldmember. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Goldmember.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It's right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Very, very well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:21:28 > 0:21:31High five!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Very, very well done.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37A great answer.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Very good answer. He plays himself, and he plays Famous Mini-Me
0:21:40 > 0:21:44in the film-within-a-film which is called Austinpussy!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Sounds like a car from the '60s. - The Austinpussy?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Yeah. I think my mum had one.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Moving on.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Dave. What's the most obscure Danny DeVito film you can think of?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm not good on films. I do have one,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- I'm going to play it in a second, but...- You have a film?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I have a film that I can think of.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09But the final answer's going to be Twins.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Twins. Very good indeed. Twins. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and if it is, let's see how many people said Twins.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18It's right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2248.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26APPLAUSE
0:22:26 > 0:22:2848 for Twins.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Yeah, Twins, where he famously plays the twin of Arnold Schwarzenegger,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34who would play YOU in a film, I think.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Would he?- Yeah, Arnie as you, Danny DeVito as Dave.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Yeah.- We've got ourselves a film.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43We have got ourselves a film.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- Maybe Javier Bardem as Eric, I'm thinking.- A good fit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- That is good!- Yeah, wouldn't be bad, would it?- That is good.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Margie, what are you thinking of? You're probably quite good at this.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I bet you've got a few Danny DeVito films stored away there.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03I'm a bit of a terrible '80s film buff, as it were.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And there's one that I've got in my head,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07and I'm pretty sure he's in it,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09and I think it's obscure so I'm going to have a bash.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It's called Throw Momma From The Train.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14That could be a brilliant answer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19how many of our 100 people said Throw Momma From The Train.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21It's right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh, down it goes. Look at that, 6!
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Very well done, Margie. Cracking answer, there.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Six points, Throw Momma From The Train.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Nice use of an '80s childhood.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39He stars in it and directs it as well,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41stars alongside Billy Crystal.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44We're halfway through. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Excellent score from Tara and Kelly.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Lovely low score of 1.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Then we're up to 6 to Margie and Eric,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53and then quite a hike up to 48
0:23:53 > 0:23:55where we find Dave and Ingrid.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00So, Ingrid, I hope you've got some brilliant Danny DeVito films.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04You can blind us... Well, just one is all we need in the next pass.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14OK, we are looking for Danny DeVito films.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Eric, that was a great piece of work from Margie. You're on 6.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20High scorers Ingrid and Dave on 48,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24which means 41 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I don't know many Danny DeVito films. I do know a couple.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31They've both got potential for moderately high scores,
0:24:31 > 0:24:36but I'm going to have to give one, and I am going to go for Matilda.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Matilda. Got a murmur of approval
0:24:38 > 0:24:41from the assembled company.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42So, we'll see. There's your red line.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Below that line, and you're through to the next round. Good luck.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Matilda.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51It's right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56You are through to the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58A brilliant score. 10.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01APPLAUSE
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Very well done, Eric.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Takes your total to 16.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Sailing through, Eric. Well done. He plays Matilda's father,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and his real-life wife, Rhea Perlman, plays his wife in that film.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Now then, Ingrid. We're still looking for Danny DeVito films.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- We need something truly dazzling from you here.- I doubt it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'm not very good on films.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I'm going to have to go with Moonlighting.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Moonlighting. OK.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31There's no red line for you, Ingrid, because you are the high scorers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You just have to hope this is right,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and it scores low.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Moonlighting. Let's see if it's right
0:25:37 > 0:25:41and if it is, let's see how many people said Moonlighting.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Ohhhh, bad luck, Ingrid.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48That's an incorrect answer which scores you the maximum 100 points.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Takes your total up to 148.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Now then, Kelly...
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- you are on 1, it doesn't matter what you say.- I am pleased.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59You are through whatever happens.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Have you got a great Danny DeVito film?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I'm sure he's the Penguin in Batman, but I can't remember which film.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08It's either Batman & Robin or Batman Returns.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09I think it's Batman Returns.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Batman Returns, you're saying.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- I think!- The Penguin in Batman Returns.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Let's see if that's right. No red line,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21you're through whatever happens. Batman Returns.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22It's right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'm genuinely pleased.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Look at that, 9!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Wasn't too shabby!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Some amazing work, there. Takes your total up to 10.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Between Batman Returns and Royal Chantenay carrots,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41you have got this sewn up! Fantastic. Richard.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Yeah, you're quite right. Plays the Penguin in Batman Returns.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Big Fish. Be Cool, which was the follow-up to Get Shorty.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Terms of Endearment, he's in, that was pointless.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Would have added £250 to the jackpot. Hercules, Mars Attacks!
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Death To Smoochy, Man On The Moon, the Andy Kaufman story, Drowning Mona
0:27:05 > 0:27:09and What's The Worst That Could Happen? Ingrid and Dave.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- It was a TV series, Moonlighting. - Thanks, Richard.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I'm afraid it's Ingrid and Dave.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- It was a tough category for you, wasn't it?- Not good on films.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What will be your guiding principle next time?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Watch more Danny DeVito films. - Don't do that!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32We're never going to have that question again!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Well, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We will look forward to seeing you next time,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and I'm sure we'll see you go further. Thanks for playing.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Ingrid and Dave, great contestants.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48For the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting
0:27:48 > 0:27:49as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Well, congratulations Tara and Kelly, Eric and Margie.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02You are now only one round away from the final round
0:28:02 > 0:28:07and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Only one pair can play for that money,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and to decide which pair that is going to be,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18you are now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Each pair needs to answer one of them,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Score less than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Let's play head-to-head.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK, here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Players with 100 plus Premier League goals, Richard.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57We'll show five photos of players who've scored at least 100 goals
0:28:57 > 0:29:01in the Premier League, you have to name the most obscure of them.
0:29:01 > 0:29:07So let's reveal our five 100 plus scoring Premier League footballers.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Here they come.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18You are looking to name the footballer.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23And finally...
0:29:25 > 0:29:26There they all are.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Premier League footballers with 100 plus goals.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Tara and Kelly, cos you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39you get to go first. There are the footballers.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Name the one that you think the fewest of our 100 people
0:29:43 > 0:29:45would have been able to name.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48We're going to have to say C. We think it's Teddy Sheringham.
0:29:48 > 0:29:56C. Teddy Sheringham, you are saying. OK. Eric and Margie.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- I know all of them, it's deciding which would be the most obscure.- OK.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- You can talk us through them. - Well, A is Wayne Rooney.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07B is Matt Le Tissier, D is Robbie Keane and E is Nicolas Anelka.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- And...- I'd say B.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13I'm also thinking B, just cos he played longest ago.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15We're going to go for B, Matt Le Tissier.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17B, Matt Le Tissier, you are saying.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21OK, so we have Teddy Sheringham from Tara and Kelly,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24and we have Matt Le Tissier from Eric and Margie.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28In the order they were given, Teddy Sheringham. Is it right?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32How many people said Teddy Sheringham?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33It's right.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39There we are. 39.
0:30:42 > 0:30:4539 for Teddy Sheringham. Eric and Margie have gone
0:30:45 > 0:30:48for Matt Le Tissier. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52and if it is, let's see how many people said Matt Le Tissier.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It's right.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00And it wins the point. There we are. 27 against 39.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07- Very well done, Eric and Margie. You are up 1-0.- Yeah, well played.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Matt Le Tissier scored 101 goals for Southampton,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12almost all of them from about 30 yards out, as well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Sheringham scored 147 goals for five different teams,
0:31:15 > 0:31:19and Eric has taken us through the board, actually.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23A is Wayne Rooney. That would have scored you a mighty 78 points.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Le Tissier, 27. Sheringham, 39.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28The other two, both would have been better answers.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31More modern but less known. Robbie Keane is D,
0:31:31 > 0:31:35played for a number of different clubs in the Premiership, now in LA.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37He would have scored you 20.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41And Nicolas Anelka, he would have scored you 13.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45He's the best answer on the board. Well done if you got all five.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49OK, thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Tara and Kelly,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Your second question concerns...
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Richard.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01We're going to show you five clues to facts about President Kennedy.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- The most obscure fact will score you the points.- Thanks, Richard.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Let's reveal those five facts about President Kennedy. We have got...
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I'll read those again.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25His middle name, the US state of his birth, his political party,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29his wife's first name and the city where he died.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33So there are the five facts about President Kennedy.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37You're looking for the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Eric and Margie, you go first.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41THEY CONFER
0:32:46 > 0:32:50I'm hoping it's the most obscure. I'm hoping not many people know it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51OK.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54We're going to go for the city where he died,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56and we're going to say Dallas.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Dallas. OK, you're going for Dallas, the city where he died.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05So, Tara and Kelly. Remember, you have to win this question
0:33:05 > 0:33:07to stay in the game.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11We're toying with middle name or political party.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- I think he's a Republican. - Go on, you say it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18OK, we're going to... Republican. Political party.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Republican.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22OK, you're going to go for Republican.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Let's take those answers in the order they were given.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Eric and Margie have gone for Dallas
0:33:26 > 0:33:29as the city where he died.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Let's put that to the test. Is that right, and if it is,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34how many people said Dallas?
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:4037.
0:33:42 > 0:33:4437.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Tara and Kelly have said
0:33:47 > 0:33:50that he belonged to the Republican Party.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53JFK, was he in the Republican Party?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Let's discover, and if he was, how many people said it?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Republican, you've said.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Ohhh, bad luck.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04That's an incorrect answer,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07which means after only two questions,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Eric and Margie are straight through to the final.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- 2-0, very well done.- Yeah, he was from the Democratic Party.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17You changed your mind at the last second.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20It would have scored 27 points. It would have won you the point.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27His middle name is Fitzgerald. That would have scored you 15 points.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30His wife's first name is Jacqueline, Jacqueline Bouvier,
0:34:30 > 0:34:35later Kennedy, later Onassis. Would have scored you 59 points.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38And the best answer on the board was his state of birth.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Very well done at home if you knew he was born in Brookline, Massachusetts.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Would have scored eight points.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Thank you, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head
0:34:50 > 0:34:53is Tara and Kelly, I'm afraid. Republican!
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- I know! You doubt yourself, don't you?- It's true,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59when the pressure's on, but you've come through,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01you've played so well today.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Head-to-head last time, head-to-head this time.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07This is where we say goodbye to you, but it's been brilliant.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Thank you so much for playing. Tara and Kelly. Great contestants.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14APPLAUSE
0:35:14 > 0:35:18But for Eric and Margie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Congratulations, Eric and Margie. You've fought off the competition
0:35:28 > 0:35:30and won our Pointless trophy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39It's going on the mantelpiece.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I should think nothing less.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:53 > 0:35:56To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03You only have to find one and you will go home with that money.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You've got to choose a category. You now have a choice
0:36:06 > 0:36:10of five different categories to choose from. And here they are.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You should go for your strongest subject.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- You're really good at Geography. - Tempted with Geography.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Yes, do that.- American Geography.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28American Geography. OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- US National Parks as they could. Richard.- We're looking for the name
0:36:37 > 0:36:39of any National Park in the US.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43And according to the US National Parks website, there are 58 of them.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Any National Parks. Not looking for monuments, memorials, parkways,
0:36:47 > 0:36:52military parks, historical parks. Just the 58 US National Parks.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is for
0:37:00 > 0:37:02just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06OK, we'll put 60 seconds on the clock, and your time starts now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- OK.- Right. I only definitely know one, which is Yellowstone.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Erm, so now we need to think of two more.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Think of the States, is anything, Florida, Texas, you know...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20There's bound to be, but it's thinking of them.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I'm trying to think of what might be round the lakes,
0:37:24 > 0:37:29or round any other features like the mountains. I'm really struggling.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32See, I don't know. Try and go through the alphabet.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37I'm thinking of stuff like the Everglades in Florida.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Erm...
0:37:40 > 0:37:45I'm not sure if Yosemite is a park, or another feature.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49OK. I don't actually know what they're named after.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Are they named after landmarks or people or...?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Various...- Could it be named after any presidents, like Roosevelt?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Ten seconds left.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Well, maybe take a guess at one of them. Yosemite, Yellowstone and...
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Roosevelt.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Yeah!
0:38:07 > 0:38:12OK, your minute is up. We were looking for US National Parks.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I now need your three answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So we'll go for Yellowstone.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Yellowstone.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Potentially, Yosemite.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Yo-se-mite, or Yo-se-mitee. No, I've done exactly that before!
0:38:24 > 0:38:29It's the accent! And I'll just say Grand Canyon.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31And Grand Canyon, why not?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Of those three, which is your best punt at a pointless?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39We'll say Yellowstone, as it's only the guaranteed...
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- So that one last. Which d'you want to put first?- Grand Canyon.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- So, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone.- Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49OK, let's put them up on the board, and here they are.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56OK, we were looking for US National Parks.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Your first answer was a bit of a punt. Grand Canyon.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04But it must be a National Park. It must be, surely. Let us see.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06This was your least confident shot.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09But we will discover, is Grand Canyon a correct answer
0:39:09 > 0:39:13and if it is, how many people said it? Grand Canyon.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15It's right.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19There we are. Surprised yourself there, Eric.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21OK, down it goes into the 30s.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23If this goes down to zero,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26you leave here with £1,000. There we are, 14.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28APPLAUSE
0:39:28 > 0:39:2914.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Unfortunately, not a pointless answer, but a very, very good guess.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38And 14 for a first shot isn't bad at all.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41So, only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43What would you do with 1,000 quid?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Ooh, I know what I'd do.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- I'd have a holiday. What would you do?- Spa day!
0:39:50 > 0:39:55- Really, really long spa day. - Spa week.- Spa week. Even better.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Leave him. Not LEAVE him, I don't mean that.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Leave him in the house, I meant.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03MARGIE LAUGHS
0:40:04 > 0:40:06OK...
0:40:08 > 0:40:14..we were looking for US National Parks. Your second answer, Yosemite.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19This was a guess. Could be a brilliant guess.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22If this is pointless, you'll be leaving here with £1,000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Let's see. Yosemite, is it right? How many people said it? Yosemite.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28It's right.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Very well done. OK, you scored 14 with the Grand Canyon,
0:40:32 > 0:40:35let's see how far down Yosemite goes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Into the 30s, into the 20s, into the teens. 17, for Yosemite.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42APPLAUSE
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Two that haven't been pointless.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52You only have one more shot at today's jackpot. That's Yellowstone.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Are you confident?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It's not a pointless.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58OK, we'll see. You never know.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You don't know what our 100 people are like, honestly.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yellowstone has to be pointless.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Let's put it to the test. Is it right,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09and if it is, how many people said Yellowstone?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Well, it's right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16You started on 14, we then went up to 17, with Yosemite...
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Oh, 54!
0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31so you don't win today's jackpot, which will roll over.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33But you have done fantastically well.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You got three correct answers, you thought you only had one.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40You get to take home our Pointless trophy, though. No small feat.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Well done. Richard.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45You played terrifically throughout, and three correct answers there.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Crater Lake, nearly 2,000 feet deep. That was a pointless answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Denali. Mount McKinley is in that National Park.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Grand Teton has 2.6 billion-year-old rocks there.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02The Great Basin, the Great Smoky Mountains, actually, the most visited
