Episode 43 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,

the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

-Let's meet today's players.

-APPLAUSE

Welcome, Sean and Angus. You're our first pair on today's show.

-How do you know each other?

-We went to university together. We met on our first day.

We were in the same halls and did the same course. We saw too much of each other.

-You've remained good friends. You've left university now.

-We've both left.

-Where was that, Angus?

-University of East Anglia, Norwich. It was good.

-What were you studying?

Business management. We both did the same course.

Only one of us had to go to the lectures to pick up the notes and sign in.

-Quite a good arrangement.

-Week on, week off, or day on, day off?

-We were very dedicated.

-If business management came up...

I don't know how good we'd actually be.

-Didn't go to a lot.

-Welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.

-Next we welcome Jamie and Terry. How do you know each other?

-He's my boy.

-He's your boy.

-Could you not guess?

Actually, yes. I could, actually. I certainly could.

-What do you do, Terry?

-The Government pay me to do nothing.

-It's quite a good gig really.

-LAUGHTER

-What did you do before you retired?

-I used to spread poo on jelly.

-LAUGHTER

-You used to spread...?

-Poo on jelly.

-Poo on jelly.

-Ah, you worked for Heston Blumenthal.

LAUGHTER

I worked in a hospital laboratory, in the microbiology department.

-Excellent. Do you miss it?

-Not really, no.

Not so much! Very good indeed. Jamie, what do you do?

I'm in project management financial services.

What do you like to get up to?

-I make my own wine. I listen to a lot of music.

-Very good.

So, the wine, do you stamp the grapes yourself?

I don't use grapes, I use other things that I find.

None of your dad's jelly!

What's your favourite wine you've made so far?

-An oak leaf wine was very good.

-An oak leaf wine?

-What's the abiding flavour of oak leaf?

-Kind of like a fresh taste.

It's the young oak leaves that you use, in May time.

A carrier-bag-ful, and then just pour boiling water

and sugar on, bit of yeast.

-And you're away.

-Yeah.

-Fantastic. Best of luck to you. And next we welcome back Faris and Shankar.

You were on the show last time.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.

-Remind us how you know each other, Faris.

-We're friends at school

-and we have been for the past six years or so.

-What do you do when you're not at school?

In my spare time, I like to build computers and things like that.

Things like that(!) Just computers. How many have you built?

I don't have much money at the moment, so only a couple.

-Faris, what do you like to do?

-I'm into my music very much.

I play the violin, which I enjoy.

I've learned since I joined secondary school.

-How many years is that?

-About six years or so.

How far have you got with it?

I'm doing my Grade Six exam next month,

-so hopefully that should all go well.

-Best of luck.

And best of luck on the show today. Let's hope we see more of you.

And finally, we've got Arthur and Kate. How do you know each other?

-She's my daughter. Unfortunately.

-Kate!

-Charming!

-Didn't mean it.

-Kate is staggered! Where are you from, Katie?

-Whitney Bay, Newcastle.

-Lovely. What do you do up there?

I work in a supermarket. I'm an assistant section manager trainee.

-How about you, Arthur?

-I'm retired. I used to be a chef.

Worked all over Europe. And cooked for Formula One teams, the Porsche team, and so on.

That's very good. Covering a lot of ground there.

-So you're good on your motor sports?

-Yes.

And I hope food and drink as well.

-Katie, what would you hate to see come up?

-Sport.

-It would just be a disaster.

-Even Formula One? Motor sports?

-Any sport.

I don't look very sporty and I'm not interested.

You don't share your dad's interest in that.

-You didn't follow the Porsche team?

-We got forced to watch it when we were younger.

That's all you need, just a couple of names in there.

-Something might be there.

-It's lovely having you on the show. We'll find out more throughout the show.

There's only one person left for me to introduce. In the red corner, the undisputed heavyweight champion

-of obscurity, it is my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya.

APPLAUSE

-Afternoon to you.

-Good afternoon.

-One returning pair, Faris and Shankar.

We only saw them for one question,

so I think we haven't seen the best of them. They will be tough to beat.

Round One, it's one of those things a lot of people at home will be

very good at, but I will guarantee, here and now, we'll see at least one team score 100 points.

-You guarantee it.

-If someone doesn't score 100 points,

I will willingly drink a bottle of oak leaf wine.

-That's how confident I am.

-On camera?

-On camera.

-Wow! What about that?! Thank you, Richard.

All our questions have been put to 100 people, but we are looking for the obscure answers.

To stay in the game,

our players need to score as few points as they possibly can.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave.

Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

Richard and Vanessa won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

APPLAUSE

In this first round, each of you needs to give me one answer and you cannot confer.

Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated. If you give an incorrect answer,

you will score the maximum of 100 points.

Try and avoid those. Our first category is:

Bond films. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many actors who have

appeared in more than one official Bond film as they could. Richard.

Any actor or actress who has received an acting credit

in more than one official Bond film, from the first one, Dr No,

all the way through to the 22nd film in the series, Quantum Of Solace.

They don't have to have played the same character, If they're credited in two films, we'll accept them.

By official Bond films, we're ruling out Never Say Never Again and the first Casino Royale.

-Very best of luck at home as well.

-Thank you, Richard.

Sean and Angus, you drew lots and today you are going first. Angus.

-Bond films, is this a good category for you?

-Erm...yeah. Not too bad.

Could be worse. Erm...

I'm thinking about Moneypenny that was in Pierce Brosnan films.

-I think that was Samantha Bond.

-Sounds good to me.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Samantha Bond.

-Oh, that's a great answer, Angus! Very well done indeed!

-APPLAUSE

-Samantha Bond scoring you three points.

-That's a great answer. A force to be reckoned with.

She played her four times between 1995 and 2002.

Now then, Terry.

I think I'm going to have to play fairly safe and go for Judi Dench.

Judi Dench, says Terry. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Judi Dench.

It's right.

It's not too safe.

24.

-APPLAUSE

-Not a bad answer at all, Terry.

-Judi Dench.

-Another good answer. She's played M six times so far.

-She's going to be in Skyfall as well in 2012, her seventh outing.

-Excellent.

Shankar, we are looking for actors who've appeared in more than one official Bond film.

Not a good subject for me.

I think Richard may have escaped the oak leaf wine.

I'm going to go with...Daniel Craig.

Daniel Craig, says Shankar. A nice obscure James Bond actor(!)

Let's see if that's correct and how many people said Daniel Craig.

-60.

-APPLAUSE

-60 for Daniel Craig. Surprisingly low.

-It is. And good damage limitation as well.

Appeared in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace. And also in Skyfall as well.

Indeed. And the oak leaf wine still very much on the table.

-Arthur.

-I'm not 100% sure, but I think the guy that played Q, Desmond Llewelyn.

Desmond Llewelyn, says Arthur. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Desmond Llewelyn.

It's a great answer! Very well done indeed!

APPLAUSE

Four. Desmond Llewelyn.

He's appeared in more Bond films than anyone. He's been in 17.

All the way from From Russia With Love to The World Is Not Enough.

So sad when, his final appearance, he went down through the floor.

-Yeah.

-Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at the scores. The best score of the round

was Angus's fantastic answer, Samantha Bond.

Then we find Arthur and Katie.

Then we are up to 24, where we find Terry and Jamie.

And then up to 60, where Shankar and Faris

currently are the high scorers.

Now, Faris, you have to find a low-scoring answer.

-It's simply not acceptable for you to leave after the first question again. OK?

-Got it.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium.

We are looking for actors who have appeared in more than one Bond film.

Katie, how well did Arthur do? That was a brilliant answer.

The only one I can think of is Roger Moore.

You're currently on four. The high scorers on 60 are Faris and Shankar.

That means a score of 55 or less will see you through to the next round. Roger Moore.

Is it right and how many people said it? There's your red line.

-68.

-APPLAUSE

Takes your total to 72. All is not lost. Anything can happen in the rest of the round. Richard.

A lot better than 100 points. He was the longest-serving Bond, 12 years.

-He was 57 when he finished. He was also the oldest Bond.

-Thanks, Richard.

-Last time, you said your dad used to manage a DVD rental store.

-He did.

-And I have been a big James Bond fan for many, many years.

-This is great.

And I'm fairly sure the actor of Jaws was called Richard Kiel.

-I'm not sure how it's pronounced.

-Richard Kiel.

-I believe it was spelt K-I-E-L.

-Brilliant. There is your red line.

You're on 60, the high scorers are on 72, Katie and Arthur.

A score of 11 will be enough to get you through to the next round.

Is Richard Kiel right and how many people said it?

It is right.

You've done it! Oh, very well done indeed!

The lowest score of the round, Faris.

That did exactly what you needed it to do. Richard Kiel.

-Takes your total to 62.

-When I said no-one would score 100,

I didn't think people would come up with Samantha Bond and Richard Kiel.

He's the steel-toothed henchman from Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, Jaws. Played by Richard Kiel.

LAUGHTER

It's not going to be good.

OK, we are looking for actors who have appeared in more than one Bond film.

-Jamie.

-I've never seen a James Bond film in my life.

So this isn't a great round.

He's only doing this cos he doesn't want you to drink his wine!

-He hoards it.

-Does he?

-Yeah.

-Well, I'm happy with that, if I'm honest.

-Now then. Jamie.

-So I can think of people who maybe have not been in more than one.

But I don't really want 100 points,

so I'm going to have to play it safe and go for Pierce Brosnan.

You're on 24. The high scorers at the moment are Katie and Arthur on 72.

A score of 47 or less will see you through to the next round.

There's your red line. Pierce Brosnan, how many people said it?

It's right.

-58.

-APPLAUSE

This is great news for Katie and Arthur. Takes your total up to 82.

-Pierce Brosnan.

-Yes, again. He was in four Bond films, Pierce Brosnan.

-The final one was Die Another Day.

-Now then, Sean.

I'm quite a big James Bond fan.

-I've got quite a few names swimming round my head.

-You're on three.

The high scorers on 82 are Jamie and Terry.

A score of 78 or less will see you through to the next round.

-Have you seen all the films?

-Yes, and I own all the films as well.

You've seen them several times. Favourite film?

Goldfinger, has to be, for me.

But I think I'm going to go for a chap called Walter Gotell,

who I believe played General Gogol, who was the KGB version of M.

-Slightly evil M, if you will.

-Walter Gotell.

There's your red line.

-Get below that red line and you're through to the next round.

-I mean...

LAUGHTER

Walter Gotell, let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right. And you're through.

Where's it going to stop? Oh! It's pointless, Sean!

APPLAUSE

That's exactly what you wanted to do.

It's a pointless answer.

It adds another £250 to the jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250.

It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at three. Walter Gotell.

That's a terrific answer, Sean. Annoying for me, but a terrific answer.

He was in seven films, The Living Daylights being the last of them.

-Can you name any other pointless answers?

-Clifton James?

Yeah, he's pointless.

LAUGHTER But no-one even scored 100 between them.

LAUGHTER

And now, cos everyone's so awesome, I've got to drink oak leaf wine.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

I look forward to that immensely.

Normally people are thick, aren't they?

LAUGHTER

Oh! Let's have a look at the other pointless answers. See if you got any of these at home.

Charles Gray's played two characters. He played a Bond ally, Henderson, and played Blofeld as well.

Colin Salmon was MI6 head of staff in three films.

George Baker, played a genealogist in two films, including On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Giancarlo Giannini played a French agent in the most recent films.

Jeffrey Wright played Felix Leiter, again in more recent times. Jesper Christensen was Mr White.

Joe Don Baker has also played a villain and an ally.

Michael G Wilson, who was a producer and writer,

but has appeared in numerous Bond films.

And Michael Kitchen also a pointless answer.

Very well done if you said any of those.

Thank you very much. At the end of the first round,

our losing pair with the highest score is Jamie and Terry.

Oh, dear. 82.

Not a terribly high score, but everyone else was just better

on their pointless James Bond actors, I'm afraid.

Anyway, we look forward to seeing you again next time. Thanks so much for playing.

-APPLAUSE

-But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

APPLAUSE

There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head,

so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.

Our category for Round Two is:

It's Islands. Can you decide who's going first and who's going second?

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

So our Round Two question concerns...

-Richard.

-On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six islands.

We need you to tell us the specific island group to which each belongs.

If you give an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. A wrong answer, 100 points.

-12 in all to have a go at at home. Quite tough, these.

-Thank you very much.

We're looking for the island groups to which these islands belong. And we've got...

I'll read them all one more time.

There we are. There are our six islands.

What we need from you is the name of the groups to which they belong.

You're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. Angus, how does that look to you?

Erm... Difficult.

I really don't know. I'll go for... Maihe and the Orkneys?

I really have no idea.

OK. Maihe, the Orkney, says Angus.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

Bad luck, Angus. An incorrect answer, I'm afraid.

-You score 100 points.

-So the very first second and first question

where I don't have to drink some oak leaf wine, somebody gets 100! That's how we're playing, is it?

LAUGHTER Yeah, not in the Orkneys.

I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.

Now, Faris, how does this board look to you?

Most of them I'm not very familiar with. However, I'm pretty sure Key Largo,

incidentally, is in the James Bond film Thunderball, and I believe it's in the Bahamas.

But that's the only one I've got an idea on.

Once again, James Bond, you're knowledge of James Bond is still helping you in Round Two.

Key Largo, you are saying is in the Bahamas. Let's see if that's right

and how many people knew that answer. Key Largo, the Bahamas.

Oh!

Bad luck, Faris.

Also an incorrect answer, which also scores you 100 points. Richard, wow!

Is the entire show one huge practical joke at my expense?

LAUGHTER

And the Thunderball connection with Key Largo was Emilio Largo.

-He's the villain in Thunderball. But he's not an island in the Bahamas.

-No man is an island.

You're quite right, apart from the Isle of Man.

LAUGHTER AND SOME GROANING

We're looking for the island groups to which these islands belong.

-How does that board look to you?

-I think I know most of them.

You can talk us through the board. Fill in the blanks.

Oahu is probably the Hawaiian Islands. Key Largo is Florida Keys.

Ibiza is the Balearics.

Rarotonga is Tonga, but I don't know the collective name for the islands.

I'm going with Hoy, the Orkneys.

Hoy, the Orkneys. OK, very well done, Arthur.

Let's see if Hoy is right for the Orkneys and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.

It's right.

-Wow! Very well done indeed.

-APPLAUSE

That's a spectacular score, eight, for Hoy in the Orkneys.

Well played, Arthur. The second largest of the Orkney Islands

and home to the Old Man of Hoy, the huge sandstone stack, as well.

I bet the residents of the Orkneys wished Mahi was there as well, because that's in the Seychelles.

That would have scored you three. And Key Largo, not the Bahamas, it's the Florida Keys.

Would have scored 25. You're right about Ibiza as well. It's in the Balearics.

That would have scored 38. You're right about Oahu. Hawaiian Islands. Would have scored 18.

And Rarotonga is in the Cook Islands. That would have scored one.

That's the best answer on the board. Well done if you got all six.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take at look at those scores.

Arthur and Katie looking very strong indeed on eight.

Keep up that and you'll be comfortably into the head-to-head.

Now then, Shankar and Sean, whichever one of you can

score the lowest will get into the head-to-head.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We're going to put six more islands on the board and here they come.

I'll read them all one more time.

We're looking for the island groups to which these islands belong.

You're trying to find the one you think the fewest people knew.

Katie, you get first dibs on this board. How does it look?

It's not good for me.

I think I know two, but I'm going to go for Mull, the Shetlands.

You're currently on eight.

The high scorers are Shankar and Faris and Sean and Angus on 100 each.

A score of 91 or less is all you need to get through to the head-to-head.

Mull. Is it the Shetland Islands? And, if it is, how many people said that?

Bad luck, Katie. That's an incorrect answer. You score 100 points.

However, Arthur's brilliant answer in the previous pass might be enough to save you.

Now then, Shankar. The high scorers are now Katie and Arthur on 108.

A score of seven or less will see you through to the next round.

We're looking for the island groups to which these islands belong.

It's going to be a complete guess.

I'll also go for the Shetland Islands and Alderney.

Is Alderney in the Shetland Islands? If it is, how many people knew that?

Bad luck, Shankar. That scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.

Now, Sean, the high scorers are Shankar and Faris on 200.

99 or less will see you into the head-to-head.

I think this is going to be a hat-trick of guesses in this round

and probably a hat-trick of 100 points,

so I'm going to guess Alderney and the Channel Islands.

Alderney, the Channel Islands, says Sean.

Here's your red line.

Lovely and high. Alderney, Channel Islands.

Is it right and how many people said it?

Well played, Sean.

-35.

-APPLAUSE

35 takes your total up to 135.

-Richard.

-Yes, well done, Sean, well played.

Its name means Gravel Island.

That sounds less good than the tourist board slogans, doesn't it?

Alderney in the Channel Islands. Let's fill in the rest of them.

Now, one of those places is on the Shetlands

and it's not Alderney and it is not Mull.

It's Muckle Flugga.

Muckle Flugga. That would have scored you three points.

Lanzarote. I suspect a lot of people

at home would have got it - it's the Canary Islands.

Would have scored you 51, so the biggest answer on the board

by some way.

Mull, not in the Shetlands.

It is in the Inner Hebrides.

It would have scored you 17.

Tresco is in the Scilly Isles. That would have scored you 16.

And Guadalcanal is the best answer on that board.

It's in the Solomon Islands. One point.

So again, very well done if you got that.

Anyone go through all 12 of those, that's pretty good knowledge.

Absolutely. Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round Two,

the losing pair with the highest score,

Faris and Shankar.

Oh, dear. That wasn't a good round for you, was it?

Did you know any of those?

-Really?

-No.

-None of them.

That's a consolation, anyway.

Anyway, Shankar and Faris, you've done better than you did last time.

It's been lovely having you. Thank you both so much for playing.

APPLAUSE

For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting,

as we enter the head-to-head.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Sean and Angus, Arthur and Katie.

You are now only one round away from the final and the chance to play for the jackpot,

which currently stands at £1,250.

APPLAUSE

Now, obviously, only one pair can play for that money,

so to decide which pair it is going to be,

you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

So basically, the first pair to win two questions

will be playing for the jackpot, and you are now, of course,

allowed to confer.

-OK, let's play the head-to-head.

-APPLAUSE

OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

-Scores On A Dartboard. Richard.

-Yes, for this question,

we'll show you five pictures of a standard dartboard.

Each one of them has a hypothetical dart in it.

We need you to tell us the number that that dart would have scored.

The very best of luck.

Thank you, Richard. Let's reveal our five darts scores. And they are...

There are the five darts scores.

Sean and Angus, you've played best

so far, so you get to go first.

Well, we're big pub-goers, but not necessarily big darts players,

unfortunately.

But we think that B

would score 1,

So we're going to go for that.

B, 1, say Sean and Angus. B, 1.

Now, then, Arthur and Katie,

talk us through the different darts scores.

Well, I know nothing about darts whatsoever,

so once again,

it's down to the father.

I'll go with A,

treble 20, 60.

You're saying A, triple 20, 60.

Sean and Angus are saying B is 1.

Let's see if that's right and if so, how many people said B was 1.

-48.

-APPLAUSE

Arthur and Katie have identified A

as a score of 60, treble 20.

Let's see if that's right

and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.

It's right. 48 is the score to beat.

APPLAUSE

Well, appropriately, that scored you 60.

So after one question,

Sean and Angus are up 1-0. Richard.

Yes, a couple of answers that would have won you the points.

Let's take a look at them.

C would score you 15.

And that would score you 8, if that's not confusing.

D is the bull's-eye, so that scores you 50,

which would have scored you 79.

And E, at the bottom of the board,

is 3, and that would have scored you 25.

So 15 was the best score on that board, or rather,

8 was the best score on that board, for 15.

So C, 15, 8, would be the best answer on that board. LAUGHTER

Thank you very much, Richard.

OK, here comes your second question, Arthur and Katie.

You have to win this question to stay in the game. Best of luck.

Here it comes.

It concerns...

Oxbridge Colleges, Richard.

We'll show you the names of five colleges from Oxford or Cambridge University

but we've missed out the last word in each. Can you fill it for us, please?

OK, thank you very much.

Our five Oxbridge colleges.

Here they are. We've got...

I'll read them all one more time.

There we are. Our five Oxbridge colleges

with the second word missing.

Arthur and Katie, you go first this time.

The only one I really know is Corpus Christi.

OK, Corpus Christi, you're saying. Corpus Christi.

Sean and Angus, you can talk through the rest.

That was the only one we knew as well. Fantastically.

Angus actually lives in Oxford but he hasn't come up with any answers.

No, I'm stuck on those ones.

We're just going to have to take a wild guess.

-Harris Tweed.

-Harris Tweed.

Harris Tweed?

Why not?

Imagine, wouldn't it be brilliant if it was?

Harris Tweed, say Sean and Angus.

Corpus Christi from Arthur and Katie. Let's see if that's right

and, if it is, how many people knew that answer. Corpus Christi.

Absolutely right.

74.

-APPLAUSE

-It's high.

But let's see what Harris Tweed scores.

Harris Tweed.

Yeah.

-I know.

-Are you sure that's correct?

Apparently so. Yes, Harris Tweed, obviously not

an Oxbridge college.

Arthur and Katie, you've done exactly what you needed to do.

You've won that question. You are now 1-1. Richard.

It's a very tough board but if you said Harris Manchester,

it would have scored you one point.

Sidney is Sidney Sussex, in Cambridge.

It would have scored you 12.

Murray is Murray Edwards in Cambridge.

It would have scored you three.

And Gonville is Gonville and Caius, also Cambridge,

and that would have scored you 17.

So other than Corpus Christi, a very tough board there.

All down to the decider.

All down to the decider. Here it comes.

Your third question. Good luck, both pairs.

It concerns...

-Harry Potter, Richard.

-That's a bit more like it.

Yes, we're going to show you five clues to facts about Harry Potter.

Can you find the most obscure answer, please? Very best of luck.

Here come our five clues to Harry Potter facts. And we've got...

I'll read those all one final time.

There you are. Five clues to facts about Harry Potter.

Sean and Angus, you go first.

I've read all the books.

-Have you read some of the books?

-The first few of them.

-First few.

We know, I think, three or four

but we're going to go for the self-styled Half-Blood Prince,

which is Severus Snape.

Severus Snape is the self-styled Half-Blood Prince,

say Sean and Angus.

Now, then, Arthur and Katie.

Talk us through the board.

We know most of them, I would say, because we both love Harry Potter.

I think we're going to go for the smallest ball in quidditch,

which is a snitch.

A snitch, the smallest ball in quidditch. OK.

Sean and Angus have gone for Severus Snape, the Half-Blood Prince.

Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said Severus Snape.

It's right.

Ooh, very well done indeed. 18.

That's a great score.

And Arthur and Katie, you are saying the snitch is the smallest ball

in quidditch.

Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said the snitch.

This for a place in the final.

Well, it's right.

18's the score you have to beat. Still going down.

Ooh, 39.

APPLAUSE

Which means that, after three questions, Sean and Angus

are through to the final, 2-1. Richard.

Well played. The snitch, or golden snitch, the size of a walnut.

Harry Potter's one of the most requested categories,

when we go through contestants. It's the one that people want.

So I'm hoping plenty of people at home will have got five of these.

Plenty of people can show off.

Let's take a little look. We've seen the bottom two.

Headmaster of Hogwarts when Harry starts

is of course Albus Dumbledore.

31 points.

The animal that represents the house of Hufflepuff

is the badger. That scored 13.

And the youngest son of Arthur and Molly Weasley,

Ron Weasley. Absolutely right.

And that would have scored you 49.

So badger best answer there.

Very well done to everyone who got five out of five at home.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, it's Arthur and Katie.

We'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.

Thank you for playing. You played brilliantly.

-But for Sean and Angus it's now time for our Pointless final.

-APPLAUSE

Well, congratulations,

Sean and Angus - you've seen off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

At the end of today's show, the Pointless jackpot stands

-at £1,250.

-APPLAUSE

The rules are very simple.

To win the money, all you have to do is find

a pointless answer. We had a pointless answer from you, Sean,

in the first round, with Walter Gotell.

-Well remembered.

-Cracking answer.

You only have to find one more Pointless answer now and you go home with that money.

First, choose a category. You have five options. They are...

Please go for Spanish Pop!

-LAUGHTER

-Both big fans, actually. Big fans.

THEY WHISPER

It'll have to be.

I don't think there are any others we can have a stab at.

They're not great subjects for us but we'll have a go at London.

Let's find out what the London question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

as many termination points on the London Tube map.

Termination points, Richard.

Yes, any station on the standard Transport for London Tube map at the end of any line.

Any London Underground line, DLR or Overground line that's on the Tube map.

Has to be at the end of one of those lines, please.

Very best of luck.

You have up to one minute to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that £1,250

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

Are you ready? OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Good luck.

There they are. Your time starts now.

-Morden is at the end of the Northern Line.

-OK.

-Stanmore's at the start of the Jubilee Line.

-OK.

Walthamstow Central is at the northern end of Victoria Line.

-Well, I've given my one answer, so...

-OK.

If you have any more...? Just think.

Um...

What's the most west you can think?

Brixton's down the bottom of Victoria

but that'll be quite common, I think. Er...

East Stratford... No...

I think... Yeah, Stanmore, Morden, Walthamstow Central.

-Shall we go for that?

-Yeah.

-I've got nothing else.

I think we're good to go.

OK, we'll stop the clock.

You've got three answers. What are they?

OK, yeah, so... I think at the bottom of the Northern Line

-is Morden.

-Morden?

Yep. And then the top of the Victoria Line

is Walthamstow Central.

-Walthamstow Central.

-And then...

The top of the Jubilee Line, I think it is, is Stanmore.

Stanmore. OK. Of those three,

which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-I'd say Morden.

-Morden.

-OK, Morden goes last.

Which do you want to put first? Your least likely shot.

As I came up with it, probably Stanmore.

OK, Stanmore at the top, Morden at the bottom

and Walthamstow Central in the middle.

-Yep.

-Appropriately.

-Appropriately indeed.

We'll put them on the board in that order, and here they are.

We have got...

So we were looking for termination points on the London Tube map.

Stanmore you said was your least confident answer.

You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that money, £1,250.

OK, let's see. Stanmore. Is it right? How many people said it?

It's right.

OK, this your first shot at £1,250. Stanmore.

Down it goes. If it goes all the way down to zero

you can win that jackpot right now. Into single figures. Down it goes.

-Three.

-APPLAUSE

Now, you had no hesitation putting Stanmore first.

You thought that was the more obvious of all your choices.

Well, I'm from the Midlands

and we don't actually have the Tube there, surprisingly(!)

So I assumed because I knew it would probably be the most obvious one.

OK, right, well, obviously not a pointless answer

but you were kind of expecting that.

So only two more chances to win today's jackpot. £1,250.

-What would you do with that, Angus?

-Um...

I'm not so sure. We'd probably have a big night out on that, wouldn't we? It'd be quite fun.

I was going to suggest giving it to charity

but if you feel that's more important, then...

-LAUGHTER

-Thanks very much(!)

We're looking for termination points on the London Underground.

Let's hope nobody said your next answer,

which was Walthamstow Central. This has to be right and pointless

if you're going to win that jackpot of £1,250.

Let's see how many people said Walthamstow Central.

It's right.

So we went down to three with Stanmore.

Let's see how far Walthamstow Central can take us.

Into single figures.

If it goes to zero you leave here with...

You've done it!

CHEERING

Brilliant.

Great work.

Very, very well done indeed.

Congratulations.

Walthamstow Central was a pointless answer,

which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,250.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

Of course, 250 quid of that was yours. You added that.

-Yes, we're going to split 500 and I'll take that home with me.

-LAUGHTER

A bit of poetic justice there. Richard.

Very well played, guys. You took a risk choosing London.

Not as much of a risk as Spanish Pop but you did take a risk

and it paid off handsomely.

If we'd had to go for Morden, actually it would have been the biggest score of all of yours.

It would have scored five points. So Walthamstow Central was very much the answer to give.

Let's look at some of the pointless answers, see if you did well at home.

Bank, at the end of the Docklands Light Railway and the Waterloo and City Line.

Clapham Junction, the Overground.

Edgware Road, District and Circle Line.

All of those pointless.

Elephant and Castle on the Bakerloo Line.

Harrow and Wealdstone, other end of the Bakerloo Line.

Highbury and Islington, again Overground.

Kensington Olympia on the District Line. There's Walthamstow Central.

Right at the top of the Victoria Line

and Woolwich Arsenal, the termination point on the Docklands Light Railway.

Well done if you got any of those at home.

-Congratulations. Very well played throughout the show.

-Thank you very much.

Yes, absolutely. Brilliant.

Brilliant bit of Pointless game-playing there.

Thanks once again to our winning players, Sean and Angus,

who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.

APPLAUSE

Very well done.

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

-to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE
