0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Welcome, Vivienne and Tony. You are our first pair.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- How do you know each other? - We're married.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47We've been married over 20 years and we met in London, although we both come from Birmingham.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- What do you do, Tony? - I'm a computer bore, I'm afraid.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56What do you like to do when you're not doing computer stuff?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00What I used to like to do, before middle age crept up on me,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03was play lots of sport and now my body has told me
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- I have to play golf and nothing else.- Really? Just the golf.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Vivienne, what do you do? - I'm a drama teacher.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- Excellent. What bits of drama do you specialise in?- I teach 16 up.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I particularly like improvisation.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Bad improvisation always turns out being an argument.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27- People being cross about things. - When I teach boys, it always turns into a fight.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- What would be great if it came up for you today?- Drama! Theatre.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34All that stuff would be great.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I was thinking my down sides are probably history, politics, geography.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Real life things. What I'm better at is the imaginative stuff.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Drama, films, TV.- Vivienne and Tony, it's lovely to have you here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Best of luck. Next we welcome back Heath and Ben.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52You were on last time.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Remind us how you know each other, Heath.- We work together.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- You work together in Plymouth. - That's right.
0:02:03 > 0:02:10- What happened last time? - We were part of what can only be called the Fiennes incident.
0:02:10 > 0:02:17The Ralph and Joseph Fiennes round. It's gone down in the Pointless annals. You joined the 300 Club.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Not many members of that. But anyway, we got through it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Eventually.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- You got home all right, didn't you, before dawn?- Just about!
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- Heath, what are you hoping is going to come up?- A bit of music. We didn't have any music last time.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ben, what would be good for you this afternoon?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Something in motor sport maybe. That wouldn't be too bad.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Anything you'd particularly not like to see?- Oh, literature.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Musicals. Opera.- Heath, how about you? Anything in particular?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Definitely geography. I would hate to return to the Fienneses.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, we won't go back to the Fienneses. Ever!
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Very best of luck, Heath and Ben. In the absence of any Fiennes questions,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03let's hope we see more of you today.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Next we welcome Will and James. How do you know each other?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We met at school during our GCSEs, doing business studies.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14We've been friends ever since, through thick and thin.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Where are you from, James? - From Wakefield, which is near Leeds.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Wakefield, near Leeds. West Yorkshire.- Yeah.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22What do you do, Will?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- I'm a customer service manager for a building society. - James, what do you do?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm a software engineer, so another computer guy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35I work on fighter jets at the moment. We're writing some simulation software.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Only about the most fun job you can have...- It's not.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- You make flight simulation software for fighter jets.- Yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- This is all classified information. - Yeah. We're not allowed to say much.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Tell us all about it. That sounds fascinating.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- What do you like to do when you're not doing that? - I like reading, watching TV.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Does anything live up to the fun of that though?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- It's not particularly fun. Reading's quite good.- Very good indeed.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Great to have you here. Best of luck.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Finally, we welcome back Rich and Becki.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12You were on the show last time as well. Remind us how you know each other.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17We met about ten years ago in a nightclub. Been friends ever since.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Rich, what happened last time?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We had some issues around what's a city and what's a country.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I feel I should go no further.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31You had a lucky escape. You got out in round one.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You ducked under the wave that was round two.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, that was cruel.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Anyway, that was last time. Today, Becki, what's going to be brilliant if it comes up today?
0:04:42 > 0:04:49- Erm... TV. Especially kids' TV. - Any favourites kids' TV shows?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Peppa Pig.- Oh, yes, good. Some of the people they have on that show are just brilliant.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I don't know if you... - I'm a big fan of Peppa Pig.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03- I think the voiceover's slightly... - They're good. I'll tell you the one I don't like, I can't stand,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- I don't know who does it, is Captain Daddy Dog. - Yes!- That's the worst one.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12It's done by one of those people, one of those people in this world,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15they come to work with you and their voice is so annoying.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's difficult. You find you can't get to know them.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23I don't know why they would choose someone like that to voiceover a children's character.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Well...- I'm going to look up who does it.- You should.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30"Voice of Daddy Dog.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33"Alex..." Oh. That's...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35LAUGHTER
0:05:35 > 0:05:39That's awkward. LAUGHTER
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Very good. So if children's programmes come up...
0:05:43 > 0:05:47They do come up from time to time. Anything you want to avoid?
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- Geography.- Geography, without a second's hesitation! Rich?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I think similar to most, art and literature, I'd struggle with.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59OK, very good. Best of luck.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Let's hope we see more of you. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06There's one person left to introduce.
0:06:06 > 0:06:12He's a man who only has one hat, and that's his thinking cap. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Genuinely, especially after a show like last time,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27when it was very difficult for people, I like to please. I'm a people pleaser.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30We've had Becki, Heath and Vivienne have all said no geography,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34so as a nice person, I'm thinking, "There's five people
0:06:34 > 0:06:40- "who are going to enjoy round one" because it's geography. - Good.- Yeah.- Let the fun commence.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Our questions have been asked to 100 people, but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51To stay in the game, all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Tom and Darren won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts out at £1,000.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Right, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:07:14 > 0:07:19In this first round, you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated. If you give me an incorrect answer,
0:07:25 > 0:07:29you will score the maximum of 100 points. Avoid those if you can.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Our first category today is:
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first
0:07:37 > 0:07:42and who's going second and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Let's find out what the question is.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:50 > 0:07:57to name as many European countries with 20 million or fewer people as they could.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01European countries with 20 million people or fewer. Richard.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Any country that is wholly in Europe and has a population of less than 20 million.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Give you a rough idea, Romania has 22 million.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Smaller than that. As always, by "country", we mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- We wouldn't accept for example Vatican City.- Thank you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Vivienne and Tony, you drew lots before the show and are going first.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27How is your European geography?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Erm... Hopefully, not too bad.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33My brain's gone into freeze already,
0:08:33 > 0:08:39but I think I'm going to go for...Lithuania.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Lithuania, says Tony. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Lithuania.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It's right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well done, Tony. Down it goes. Look at that. Eight!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55APPLAUSE
0:08:55 > 0:09:02- That's a cracking answer, Tony. Eight for Lithuania.- Well played, Tony. Not much thinking time.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08- 3.2 million is the population of Lithuania.- It's tiny! - That's why it's a correct answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- Lithuania? You can practically get them in the back of a car. - LAUGHTER
0:09:13 > 0:09:17OK, Heath. What is the most obscure European country
0:09:17 > 0:09:21with a population of 20 million or fewer that you can think of?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Erm... I'm going to plump for...Monaco.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Monaco, says Heath. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Monaco.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Down it goes. 16! - APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Good answer. 16 for Monaco.- Well played, Heath.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The smallest of all, just 30,000 people live in Monaco.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56Will. A nice obscure European country with a population of 20 million or fewer.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01OK, I'm going for a country I went to last year on holiday which I think is pretty small.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Montenegro.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Montenegro, says Will. Sounds like a good answer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Let's see if it and how many people said Montenegro.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It's right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Very well done, Will! Three!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22APPLAUSE
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- That's a great answer and a great score.- Well done, Will. Population of 650,000.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30If you were there for a fortnight, you probably met most of them. LAUGHTER
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Thank you. Now then, Rich.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39I'm going with one I'm pretty sure England played football against a year or two ago. Andorra.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Andorra, says Rich. Let's see if that's right
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and if it is, let's see how many people said Andorra.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Very well done.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57That's a great score as well. Eight for Andorra.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59APPLAUSE
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Well played. 85,000 people in Andorra.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08England did play Andorra in a 2009 World Cup qualifier. Beat them 6-0.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12But there's only 85,000 people there. So it's what you'd expect.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Or you'd hope. Two of the Andorra players had to leave at half-time.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It was their shift in the pub. LAUGHTER
0:11:20 > 0:11:23We're halfway through, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28The best so far is Will's score of three. Then we come up to eight,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Rich and Becki and Tony and Vivienne.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And then up to 16, still a low score,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37but Heath and Ben, you are our high scorers on 16.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Ben, you're going to have to find a particularly
0:11:40 > 0:11:44obscure European country with 20 million or fewer inhabitants.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:52 > 0:11:58Remember, we are looking for European countries with a population of 20 million or fewer.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Becki, you're on eight. The high scorers on 16 are Ben and Heath.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05A score of seven or less will see you through to the next round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Geography's not my... Not my best subject.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I probably would have no idea,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- so it is a guess. Completely.- OK.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19And it's the first country that came into my head.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Hopefully it's a country and not a city.- Last time it was a country!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm going with Bulgaria.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Bulgaria, says Becki. Bulgaria. Here comes your red line. Nice and low.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Get below that red line with Bulgaria,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37you are through to the next round for sure.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Let's see if Bulgaria is right and how many people said it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's right.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Very well done. You've done it! One for Bulgaria!
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- APPLAUSE - That's an excellent answer. The lowest score so far.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Your total is nine. Very well done. - Yeah, very well played, Becki.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- That feels a bit better.- It does. - Population of seven million. Very good answer.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Now then, James. You're on three.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12The high scorers are still Ben and Heath on 16,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17so a score of 12 or less will see you easily into the next round.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22I've got to try and top Will's, so I'll go for Moldova.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Moldova, says James. Here is your red line.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Let's see if that's right and how many people said Moldova.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Very well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Yes, you've done it. Oh, very well done indeed!
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- APPLAUSE - That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Takes the total up to £1,250. It scores you nothing.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It beats Will's already impressive answer
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- and leaves your total at three. - Brilliant, very well played.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02They spend more of their GDP on education than any other European country.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06In 15 years' time, they'll be the cleverest country in Europe.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- One would hope, or they've just been wasting their money. - LAUGHTER
0:14:11 > 0:14:16We are looking for European countries with a population of 20 million or less.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Ben. Moment of truth. You are the high scorers on 16.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25We need a really good low score from you. Ideally, a pointless answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30And even then, it's a bit of a...wing and a prayer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35It is. I had two answers in my head. Both of them have gone.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I'm going to have to go for something which could be very obvious.
0:14:39 > 0:14:45- I'm going to have to go for Belgium. - You're going for Belgium. There's no red line for you. Belgium, says Ben.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Is it right, how many people said Belgium?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53It is right.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- 20. Bad luck, Ben. - APPLAUSE
0:14:59 > 0:15:04That's a high score. Takes your total up to 36.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08In any normal round, it's a good score. 36 would be a good combined score.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Just over 10 million people in Belgium.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Almost all of them live in cities. 97% of them.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Vivienne, you said geography would be a hard subject for you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23But European countries with populations below 20 million...
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I had some ideas and they've gone.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So I'll try one and keep my fingers crossed.
0:15:28 > 0:15:35Let me tell you, you are on eight. The high scorers on 36 are Ben and Heath,
0:15:35 > 0:15:40which means a target score of 27 or less is what you have to achieve to stay in the game.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Talk us through your options.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- The one I'm going to say. - OK, there we are. That was quick.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Latvia.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Latvia. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57There is your red line. Nice and high.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00It's right.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07You're through to the next round. 11! Very well done!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- APPLAUSE - 11 takes your total up to 19.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Very well played. Given that Tony said Lithuania,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19can I hazard a guess at where you went on holiday last year?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I was going to say, let's take a look at the pointless answers,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24but there's only one and James got it, Moldova.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Very well played. Some of the low scorers, I can tell you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia scored one.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Bulgaria, Belarus, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, those are some of the low scorers.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Let's take a look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Republic of Ireland would have scored 20, the same as Belgium.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Then Switzerland on 23. What do you think would be right at the top?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Name a small country in Europe. - Luxembourg?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- It is Luxembourg. 36 points, it would have scored you.- Thank you, Richard.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00At the end of the first round, the losing pair is Heath and Ben.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Did you have any of those other low scoring answers?
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- To be honest, I would have been taking a punt and I wasn't 100% sure.- You did the right thing.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16But the upshot is we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- It's been great having you on the show. Thank you, Ben and Heath. - APPLAUSE
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39One of the teams will be leaving us at end the of this round.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Our category for round two is:
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Our round two question concerns:
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Richard. - One of those questions where you have to do a bit of detective work.
0:18:06 > 0:18:13We'll show you a series of locations and dates on which a historical figure died in that location.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Tell us the person. Give us an obscure answer and score fewer points.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20An incorrect answer scores 100 points.
0:18:20 > 0:18:2212 in all for you to have a go at at home.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27We are looking for the names of the historical figures who died in these places at these times.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And we have got...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm going to read them one final time.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12There we are, Tony.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15As always, you are looking for the answer you think
0:19:15 > 0:19:17the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Right.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25Not my strength. But something is ringing a bell there for St Helena,
0:19:25 > 0:19:32- which I think was Napoleon died there.- Napoleon, you are saying.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38St Helena on the 5th of May 1821. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Yup, absolutely right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- 40, not bad at all. - APPLAUSE
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Good answer. He was there for six years, having previously been exiled to Elba.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56James.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There are two up there that I know.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I think they're quite obvious
0:20:01 > 0:20:02but I might be wrong.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03I'm going to go for
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Mahatma Gandhi and New Delhi.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Mahatma Gandhi, New Delhi, 1948, 30th January. Mahatma Gandhi.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Let's see if that's right. If it is, how many said it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:1947
0:20:19 > 0:20:21APPLAUSE
0:20:23 > 0:20:2547 for Mahatma Gandhi.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yes, assassinated by a Hindu nationalist
0:20:27 > 0:20:31and over two million people joined his five-mile funeral procession.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Remember, we're looking for the famous historical figures
0:20:34 > 0:20:37who died in these locations on these dates.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Now then, Rich.- Yeah, history not my strongest subject, I must be honest.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Those dates to me look quite tough.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44There's a couple
0:20:44 > 0:20:45I can have a stab at.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I think the 22nd November 1963
0:20:46 > 0:20:48is JFK
0:20:48 > 0:20:49but I think that's probably
0:20:49 > 0:20:51a little bit obvious.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Vienna and Paris, I've not a clue.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Just purely on the date of 1901,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I'm thinking it might be
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Queen Victoria, which I think might be more obscure maybe than JFK.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm going to go with Queen Victoria.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Let's see if Queen Victoria is right for that 1901 date,
0:21:07 > 0:21:08on the Isle of Wight.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11If it is, let's see how many knew that answer. Queen Victoria.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Absolutely right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Very well done indeed. Best score of the round so far, Rich.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23APPLAUSE
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- 25.- Well played, Rich. Very good reasoning as well.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29She spent a lot of time on the Isle of Wight at Osborne House.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31She's buried with her husband's dressing gown
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and a lock of John Brown's hair.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Quite macabre this round, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- It is a bit.- Although they died a long time ago, a lot of them.- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39So I wouldn't feel so bad.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Let's see how modern it gets on the next board. - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Good idea. Let's go through the board.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Rich, you were right about Dallas as well, it was John F Kennedy
0:21:47 > 0:21:49but you were right to avoid it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:5062 points it would have scored.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We'll clear up the other two.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Using your detective skills, 5th December, 1791 Vienna.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57What would you guess?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- I'm guessing it's Mozart. - You're absolutely right.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Died at the age of 35. Would have scored you 9 points.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07And 16th October, 1793 in Paris?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Don't know.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Marie Antoinette.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10That scored 2 points.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12The best answer on the board.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Very well done to anyone who got all of those at home.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Thank you very much, Richard. OK, let's look at the scores.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We're halfway through the round.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2225 the lowest score of that part,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24so Rich and Becki looking nice and strong on that.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Then we go up to 40
0:22:25 > 0:22:28where we find Tony and Vivienne
0:22:28 > 0:22:30and then up to 47 where we find James and Will.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32You are our high-scorers at the moment.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Will, you know what you have to do if you want to stay in the game.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44OK, we're going to put six more locations and dates on the board.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Here they come. We have got...
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'll read those all one more time.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31There we are.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32We are looking for
0:23:32 > 0:23:34the historical figures who died
0:23:34 > 0:23:37in these locations on these dates
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Now then, Becki. Didn't Rich do well?- He did, yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46That was a great answer there.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm quite happy with that cos I'm not very good at all
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and the one or two maybe
0:23:51 > 0:23:52that I'm thinking,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'm presuming they will be
0:23:54 > 0:23:55high answers IF they are correct.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57OK, well, you are on 25.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The high-scorers on 47 are Will and James,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02which means a score of 21 or less
0:24:02 > 0:24:05will ensure you a place in the head-to-head.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Yeah,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm hoping that it's at least right!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'll go with 16th August, Memphis
0:24:12 > 0:24:14with Elvis Presley.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18OK, the 1977 date - you're going to say Elvis Presley.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Here is your red line.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23If you get below it with Elvis, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Let's see if that's right. If it is, how many people said it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- 55.- Not too bad.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36APPLAUSE
0:24:36 > 0:24:3855, takes your total up to 80. Richard.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Yeah, well played, Becki. Again.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Now then, Will.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44The high-scorers are now Becki and Rich on 80.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You're on 47,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50so a score of 32 or less will see you into the next round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I know a few for sure, but I'm going to have to take
0:24:53 > 0:24:54a bit of a gamble
0:24:54 > 0:24:56because of the last answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:5930th May, 1431 in Rouen
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and say Joan of Arc.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Joan of Arc you are saying for 1431 in Rouen.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Let's see if that's right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08If it is, how many people knew that answer?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10There is your red line. Joan of Arc.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It is, la Pucelle.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18There you are, you're through.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Well done. 23.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Did exactly what it needed to do.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24That takes your total up to a nice round 70.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Great answer, well played.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Yes, she was burned at the stake on charges of heresy,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32though a court found her innocent 25 years later, so that's OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34LAUGHTER
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Now then, Vivienne.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39The high-scorers on 80
0:25:39 > 0:25:41are Becki and Rich.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You're on 40, so a score of 39 or less is what you need
0:25:44 > 0:25:45to make the head-to-head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You're the last to have this board.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You can take us through it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I'd love to but there's only one
0:25:51 > 0:25:53that I feel confident of
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and with my drama background,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58it's 23rd April, 1616
0:25:58 > 0:26:01and I'm hoping it's William Shakespeare.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02OK, William Shakespeare.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Stratford-upon-Avon -
0:26:04 > 0:26:05the clue there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Let's see if that's right.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Here is your red line.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You must get below the red line to make it to the head-to-head.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Let's see if you can with William Shakespeare.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Is it right? How many people said it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19It's right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Ooh!
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Bad luck, Vivienne.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26APPLAUSE
0:26:26 > 0:26:2763.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Takes your total up to 103. Richard.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Yes, sorry, Vivienne. Very big score there.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Thought to have died on his 52nd birthday, Shakespeare.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36D'you want to take us through
0:26:36 > 0:26:37the rest of this one?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Give us a go at 15th April, 1865 in Washington DC.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Died at Ford's Theatre.- Oh, yes...
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well, it's Lincoln but it's...
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Is it John Wilkes Booth, was he called, the...?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53He's who shot him. I was looking for Abraham Lincoln.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- I know, sorry. - That would've scored 31 points.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5914th October, 1066 - the clue's in the date. Senlac Hill.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Guess it was Harold? - King Harold, absolutely right.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Would've scored 9 and this is a tough one.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well done if anyone worked this out at home.
0:27:06 > 0:27:094th August, 1875 in Copenhagen.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- A famous Dane, a famous Danish writer.- Hans Christian Andersen?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Hans Christian Andersen, absolutely right
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and that would've scored 5 points, the best answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Very well done to anyone who got all 12, very impressive.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Thanks, Richard.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22At the end of Round Two,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24the losing pair with the highest score
0:27:24 > 0:27:25is Vivienne and Tony.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Did you know any of the other lower-scoring ones?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I should have got Harold. - You should!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It was Senlac Hill which perhaps threw us all a bit.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36But 1066, surely. Well, listen.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39This is only your first shot at the Pointless final.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40We'll see you next time,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42when I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Thanks for playing. Vivienne and Tony.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46APPLAUSE
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Very well done.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50But for the remaining two pairs,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53things will get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Well, congratulations Will and James, Rich and Becki.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04You're now only one round away from the final
0:28:04 > 0:28:06and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Only one pair can play for that money.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16To decide which pair it'll be you are going to go
0:28:16 > 0:28:18head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24The great news is you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33OK, here comes your first question
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and it concerns...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37stand-up comedians.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Stand-up comedians, Richard.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44For this first question we're going to show you five pictures of famous stand-up comedians.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Can you pick the most obscure? Good luck.- Thank you very much.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Let's reveal our five stand-up comedians and here they come.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51We've got...
0:29:05 > 0:29:06OK, there they are.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Will and James, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12so you get to go first.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16D looks familiar and I know who she is
0:29:16 > 0:29:18but I can only think of the first name,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20so we're going to go for A,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22who is Ed Byrne.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25You're saying A - Ed Byrne?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Rich and Becki.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I can't think of A's name, I'm just not sure it's Ed Byrne.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35B's Jo Brand, C's Richard Pryor
0:29:35 > 0:29:36and D's Victoria Wood.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39E... Doesn't look familiar at all.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Out of the three of them I'm going to guess that...
0:29:42 > 0:29:47The three that I know... is probably Richard Pryor, C.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49OK, C - Richard Pryor.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51So, we have A - Ed Byrne
0:29:51 > 0:29:54and C - Richard Pryor. Will and James said A was Ed Byrne.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58If it is, how many people knew that answer?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Bad luck. As Rich said,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Rich and Becki,
0:30:06 > 0:30:07your answer of C
0:30:07 > 0:30:09being Richard Pryor,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11you only have to be right to win this question.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Let's see. Is it Richard Pryor?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- 45 - APPLAUSE
0:30:21 > 0:30:23But most importantly, it was correct,
0:30:23 > 0:30:27which means after one question, Rich and Becki are up 1 - 0.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30On Comedy Central's list of The Greatest Stand-Up Comedians Of All-Time,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Richard Pryor was number one.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Now, A - it's not Ed Byrne.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Ed's been on the show, we love Ed.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Would he be happy or sad
0:30:37 > 0:30:40that someone thought that was him?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Happy and sad. Bittersweet, I'd say.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Bittersweet. Nice to get a mention.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Shame with the wrong face.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Exactly, it's actually Dylan Moran,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52the Irish stand-up
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and the star and writer of Black Books as well.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Would've scored you 20 points.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00B is Jo Brand, as Rich told us
0:31:00 > 0:31:02but you did well to avoid her -
0:31:02 > 0:31:05she would have scored you 76.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07The wonderful Victoria Wood,
0:31:07 > 0:31:08you're quite right, is D.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10She would've scored you 70.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Brilliant answer,
0:31:11 > 0:31:12we love Victoria Wood.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14E is a pointless answer.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16He's the New York stand-up,
0:31:16 > 0:31:17social critic and satirist...
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Lenny Bruce.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Lenny Bruce, absolutely right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22No points at all, pointless answer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Well done if you got him at home.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27He's on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover...
0:31:27 > 0:31:28- So he is.- ..on the top row.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Will and James, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38OK, our second question concerns...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40UK universities.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42UK universities, Richard.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43We're going to show you
0:31:43 > 0:31:46the names and locations of five UK universities,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49but we're only going to give you the initials of the university.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Can you fill in the gaps
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and tell us what they're called, please?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53OK, thank you very much.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Let's reveal our five university clues and here they come.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57We've got...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I'll read those one last time.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22OK, there we are.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Five universities.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Rich and Becki, you go first this time.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30I only lasted six weeks at university,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32so I don't know how good
0:32:32 > 0:32:33I'll be at this one,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35but seeing as it's a local one
0:32:35 > 0:32:37to ourselves, Birmingham,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39we'll go AU - Aston University.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Aston University,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42say Rich and Becki.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Now then, Will and James.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48You have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Talk us through the board.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50I think James' brother
0:32:50 > 0:32:52went to Leicester, didn't he?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53He went to Leicester,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55not DeMontfort, the other one.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56but I think that will be higher
0:32:56 > 0:32:58than Aston.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's up to you if you want to guess
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and go Queen Mary for Musselburgh.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Are you sure about Leicester? - I'm positive about Leicester.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Should we go for that one?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11OK, we'll go for Leicester, DeMontfort University.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12OK, DeMontfort University
0:33:12 > 0:33:14in Leicester.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17We have Aston University and DeMontfort University.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Rich and Becki have said Aston University.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Let's see if that's right and if so, how many people said it?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Again, Will and James,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25it's the question you have to win to stay in the game.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Aston University.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31It's right.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- 25.- Not bad. - APPLAUSE
0:33:38 > 0:33:4025 for Aston University.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Now, Will and James.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44You think DeMontfort University
0:33:44 > 0:33:46won't beat that, or will beat that?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- I don't think it will.- I've no idea!
0:33:48 > 0:33:50OK, well, we'll discover.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52You have to win the question to stay in the game.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56DeMontfort University in Leicester. Is that right? How many said it?
0:33:58 > 0:33:59It's right.
0:34:00 > 0:34:0225 is the score it has to beat.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Ooh! 34.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Well, Aston University pips it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15That means after only two questions, Rich and Becki,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17you are through to the final, 2 - 0.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19That fell nicely for two Brummies.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Very nice. James, you had another option
0:34:22 > 0:34:23you were going to go for.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24A riskier one.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27We were going to guess Queen Mary for Musselburgh.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28If you'd said that,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30you'd have been knocked out too.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31It's Queen Margaret University.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I hope that makes you feel better.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34That would've scored 6.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Norwich UEA
0:34:35 > 0:34:37is the University of East Anglia.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39That would've scored you 43 points.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Wrexham, do you know that?
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Wrexham, GU?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Glyndwr University,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46named after Owain Glyndwr.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48That's the best answer on the board.
0:34:48 > 0:34:492 points for that.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Thanks very much.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I'm afraid it's Will and James.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58We'll have to look forward to seeing you again next time,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00when maybe you'll make it even further.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02For now, thanks very much for playing.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:06 > 0:35:09But for Rich and Becki, it's now time for the Pointless final.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Congratulations, Rich and Becki.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You've fought off all the competition - by that I mean,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19you really have fought off all of the competition
0:35:19 > 0:35:22and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:30 > 0:35:35and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But what a journey! What a journey!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43I mean, a great low score from you in the first round, Becki with Bulgaria.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46You scored the lowest score of the round, I think,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- until the pointless answer.- Yeah.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Then you came up against the head-to-head...
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Last time you played you were out in Round One, weren't you?- Yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57This time you came up against the favourites in the head-to-head
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- and you saw them off, 2 - 0. - I was waiting for the second round, you see.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Put myself forward a bit more.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04If that's what it was - tactics, you've played a blinder.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06The rules are very simple.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10To win that money, all you have to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15You only have to find one more now and you'll go home with that £1,250 jackpot.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Firstly, you've got to choose a category
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and you can choose from these options. They are...
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Political history
0:36:29 > 0:36:31is out of the question.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32I think the only two...
0:36:32 > 0:36:34It's football managers or pop stars.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Football managers'd be my choice,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39it's my strongest one on there but pop stars could be any era.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I would prefer, although I don't know a lot about football,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Will you blame me if we take football managers?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47No, I wouldn't but I think you'd be stronger at that
0:36:47 > 0:36:49than we both would be at pop stars.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- You happy with that?- Yeah. - I think we've had a decision.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54OK, you've reached a decision, football managers it is.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:00 > 0:37:05LMA Manager of the Year winners as they could.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08LMA Manager of the Year winners, Richard.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10We're looking for football managers awarded
0:37:10 > 0:37:13the League Managers Association's Manager of the Year award
0:37:13 > 0:37:14from its inaugural giving in 1994,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17all the way through to the 2011 recipient.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- The very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:22 > 0:37:26and all you need to win that £1,250 jackpot
0:37:26 > 0:37:28is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Ready?- Yeah. - We'll put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- There they are. Your time starts now.- Right, OK.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37It's English managers for a start or British managers.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40The big ones - Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43I think in 1994 - if it goes back to that -
0:37:43 > 0:37:45there's a random one where I think
0:37:45 > 0:37:47the Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear won it,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49which I think might not be a bad shout.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I'd like to say I know none of them, I'll let you roll with it...
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Shall I talk to everyone else?- Yeah! Choose who you think's best.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Alexander, right, I'm thinking...
0:37:58 > 0:38:02I think we go for... Joe Kinnear is probably the rank outsider
0:38:02 > 0:38:05but I'm not sure if he actually won it, but he had a good year one year.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Kevin Keegan might be up there.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10He might be quite high.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14He might be, yeah. Alex Ferguson's a big one, Mourinho.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Wenger is going to be up there as well.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21'94, who won it in '94? I'm trying to think.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Em...- Go with what you think.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Ten seconds.- I have no input.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Howard Wilkinson might have won it. - You make that choice.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Bruce Rioch might have won it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39OK, that's time. OK, we were looking for LMA Manager of the Year winners.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- I now need your three answers.- OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- We'll go Kevin Keegan.- Kevin Keegan.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Joe Kinnear.- Joe Kinnear. - And we will also go for...
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Bruce Rioch.- Bruce Rioch.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57OK, there are your three answers,
0:38:57 > 0:38:59which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I've got a vague memory of Joe Kinnear winning it.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05I'm not sure he did. If he has, then put him. He'd be the favourite.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09OK, we'll put Joe Kinnear last. Who do you think's your least likely?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Kevin Keegan. - OK, let's pop them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15We have got...
0:39:18 > 0:39:21So we were looking for LMA Manager of the Year winners.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Your first answer -
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Kevin Keegan was your least confident shot at a pointless.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You only have to find one pointless answer remember,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let's see if Kevin Keegan's right and if it is, how many said it?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Kevin Keegan.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Ooh!- Good start(!)- Not a winner of the LMA Manager of the Year.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49We're looking for LMA Manager of the Year winners.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Bruce Rioch.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55How confident are you of Bruce Rioch?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I'm not even sure if Arsenal did any good when he was in charge, so...
0:39:58 > 0:39:59- A punt! - BECKI LAUGHS
0:39:59 > 0:40:02This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Let's see, for £1,250, how many people said, Bruce Rioch?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Oh!
0:40:10 > 0:40:11- Wow.- Wow.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot -
0:40:16 > 0:40:18£1,250.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Let's say Joe Kinnear takes you down to nothing
0:40:21 > 0:40:24and he's a correct answer,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27what would you do with that £1,250, Rich?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30I'd phone Joe Kinnear and thank him for a start.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33No, it's my 30th this year
0:40:33 > 0:40:35so it'd be a good excuse to have a good drink.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Very good, how about you, Becki?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Probably just a little holiday in Devon.- Very good.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Best of luck. Everything's riding on this last answer.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46We're looking for LMA Manager of the Year winners.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Your third and final answer was Joe Kinnear.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51You said this was your most confident shot
0:40:51 > 0:40:53at a pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56OK, to win that jackpot - £1,250 - this has to be correct
0:40:56 > 0:40:57and it has to be pointless.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Let's find out. Is Joe Kinnear a correct answer?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yes, it is.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Joe Kinnear, a correct answer.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Kevin Keegan and Bruce Rioch, both incorrect
0:41:09 > 0:41:12but Joe Kinnear is doing it for you, down he goes.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15If he goes all the way to zero you leave with £1,250.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You've done it!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Very, very, very well done.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- Oh, fantastic.- Thank you very much. - Very well played.- Oh, well done.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Brilliant. Congratulations, that was great.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Oh, the best till last. You put them in the right order!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Have you got his number? - LAUGHTER
0:41:35 > 0:41:36We can find that, yeah.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Joe Kinnear was a pointless answer which means
0:41:39 > 0:41:42you go home with a jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Very, very well done, Rich and Becki. Richard.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Yeah, very well done.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Your Pointless career didn't start too auspiciously last time
0:41:53 > 0:41:56but you got better and better and what a way to finish it.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58A lot of the winners of this
0:41:58 > 0:42:00are managers of some of the smaller clubs like Joe Kinnear.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04He won it in 1994 when he was Wimbledon manager.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07For example, Jose Mourinho's never won it. Alex Ferguson has.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Let's see the other pointless answers. I'm sure people at home would've got these.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Alan Curbishley won it in 2000 when he was at Charlton.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Danny Wilson in 1998 with Barnsley. Dave Jones, 1997 with Southampton.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Frank Clark won it at Nottingham Forest in 1995.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25George Burley for Ipswich. There's Joe Kinnear who won it for Wimbledon
0:42:25 > 0:42:27and right at the end, Steve Coppell's won it twice -
0:42:27 > 0:42:292006 and 2007 at Reading.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Very well done if you got any of those at home and well done to you guys, great.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Very well done indeed.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Thanks again to our winning players, Rich and Becki
0:42:38 > 0:42:41who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43APPLAUSE
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55APPLAUSE
