0:00:26 > 0:00:28Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32the quiz show where the aim of the game
0:00:32 > 0:00:34is to score as few points as you possibly can.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Now, welcome Nick and Rob, you are our first pair on the show.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45How do you know each other, Nick?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We work together in London for an online advertising firm,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51doing sales and forecasting and stuff like that.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Very good indeed. Rob, whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It was definitely mine, I'm afraid.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- And Nick was the obvious choice? - Yeah, I'd say so.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Do you sit next to each other?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We do, we fire questions at each other throughout the day.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Lots of people at work have said our conversations have been pointless
0:01:09 > 0:01:12in the last few weeks, so we'll find out.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15There you are. Nick, what would you like to see come up today?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17History or music, something along those lines.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Music - any particular era of music?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Big Country or Def Leppard.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's pretty niche.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Can you be specific on history? - Again, it's quite limited.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34I've studied in depth the Lancashire cotton industry in the 1920s, so...
0:01:34 > 0:01:39If you had been here last show, my friend, you would have tidied up.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42That was amazing. Round One, Def Leppard,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Round Two, The Cotton Industry, Round Three, Online Sales.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Yeah, that was weird, wasn't it? - No, that didn't work.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Great to have you on the show, Nick and Rob, very best of luck.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Next, we welcome Claire W and Colum,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02you were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04this is your second and final chance.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Remind us what happened, Claire W.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It was great British Olympians and their sport,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13which I didn't know anything about.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- You're a Canadian?- Yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Canadian by birth, but you've lived here for eight years.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20That's asking a lot of you, I think.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25I'm not really into sport anyway, so it was a lose-lose, really.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What's going to come up today that will be brilliant for you?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34Music, film, maybe the off chance of a bit of a Star Trek genre.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Big on Star Trek?- Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Colum, do you have any interesting hobbies?
0:02:38 > 0:02:43I watch quite a few B-movies, I do a bit of writing as well,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I'm in a writer's group.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47What sort of things do you like to write?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Mainly comedies, I can't do serious stuff at all.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Half-hour comedies, or are you wanting to write films?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56No, I've done half-hour comedies before.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59My first one should be performed in the next month, hopefully.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Very best of luck to you, Claire and Colum,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03great to have you back on the show,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06let's hope we see you go further than last time, this time.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Next we welcome Claire R and Kay. How do you two know each other?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We met a few years ago at university in Aberdeen,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and we've been best friends ever since.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- What you do, Kay? - I'm currently on maternity leave.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I had a baby last year. - Congratulations, how old now?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22She's eight months old now.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- It's a she?- Yes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Girl babies sleep, boy babies don't.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Normally, I'm in financial services
0:03:31 > 0:03:33as a corporate communications manager.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Excellent. Claire, what do you do? - I'm a book editor.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I work freelance for a number of different companies,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43including publishing companies and magazines, it's very varied.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Excellent. Literature, surely, would have to be a strong point for you?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We'll see at the end of the show!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Kay, any particular strong areas for you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56I also studied English, so words. I quite like words and literature.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Music.- Any particular kind of music, any era?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I like a lot of different music, but I'm a big Beatles fan.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05OK, very, very best of luck to the pair of you,
0:04:05 > 0:04:06it's great to have you here.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Finally, we welcome back Dave and Erica,
0:04:09 > 0:04:10you were also on show last time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Dave, remind us how you know each other.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14We're married.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Erica, what happened last time?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Politics, opposition leaders, I'm afraid. Not good.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Post-war opposition leaders.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27But today, I have every confidence we're going to see much more of you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Dave, what do you do?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm in IT during the day,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and I do music stuff, which is what I really love to do.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35What sort of music stuff do you do?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'm a producer and songwriter, and I play in a few bands.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Erica, what do you do?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm a graphic designer, but also currently on maternity leave.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Congratulations, how old is your baby?- Also eight months.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Boy or girl?- Girl.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Also sleeping?- Pretty much, yes.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Well, welcome back to the show, Dave and Erica,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00it's great to have you back, best of luck,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02let's hope we see more of you this time.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10At the pick-and-mix of obscurity, he's bagged a good selection -
0:05:10 > 0:05:13and of course, he's eaten a few without paying for them.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- I confidently predict it's going to be a cracking show.- I think so.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You can tell by the quality of the returning pairs
0:05:29 > 0:05:31by how unlucky they were to get knocked out.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34We've two pairs who were fairly unlucky to get knocked out.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35I think the two new pairs also look good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I think it should be a cracker. The first two rounds, as well,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41they're rounds where everyone will know answers,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43so it's one of those ones, who knows the obscurest.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It is not going to be no-one knows anything.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49It's going to be a real ding-dong battle in those first two rounds.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- A cracker - you heard it here first. - Good, look forward to that. Thank you, Richard.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people
0:05:55 > 0:05:58before the show. We are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01To stay in the game and a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08What everyone's looking to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Neil and John won the jackpot last time,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30This first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score 100 points.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Do try and avoid those if you can. OK, our first category today is...
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Animation. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:06:49 > 0:06:50who's going second?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00OK, our question concerns...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Animated characters and their partners, Richard.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven animated characters.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Each of them is famous for being in a double act.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17You have to name the character they are most closely associated with. Seven on each pass.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Give an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. Wrong answers, as always, 100 points.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Very best of luck, everybody. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Rob and Nick, you drew lots before the show, and today, you go first.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34We are looking for the name of the character with which
0:07:34 > 0:07:37these are most closely associated with.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And, we have got...
0:07:50 > 0:07:51I'll read them all again.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00There they all are. Now then, Rob, how does that board look to you?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Erm...
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, I think I know some of them!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'm going to play reasonably safe,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11because I don't want to get 100 points on the first go.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I think I'm going for Muttley's partner being Dastardly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Dastardly. Dastardly and Muttley, says Rob.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Let's see if that's right,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Dastardly.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:3069.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:36We won't know if that's a high score or a low score
0:08:36 > 0:08:37until everyone's scored.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I suspect it might be a high-scoring round. Richard.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44A perfectly good start, Dick Dastardly - or to give him his full name, Richard Milhous Dastardly.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Really?- Yeah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He was given Nixon's first two names, what about that!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Now then, Colum, is this good for you?- Not too bad.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I know a couple of them. Erm, I'll probably go for the top one
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- and go Beavis. - OK, you're going to go for Beavis
0:09:02 > 0:09:05as the partner of Butt-Head. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08let's see how many people said Beavis to Butt-Head.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's right. 71.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14APPLAUSE
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Our two scores so far pretty close together. 71 for Beavis.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23There's your answer as to whether it's a high score or not.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26A pretty high-scoring round. Good answer, not 100.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Beavis and Butt-Head created by Mike Judge, the American animator.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31We want you to name the character
0:09:31 > 0:09:35with which these cartoon characters are most closely associated.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Kay? How does that look to you, that board?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Not as bad as I thought it would be when the category came up.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Exactly!
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- I'm going to go for Ren and Stimpy. - Ren and Stimpy, says Kay.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Ren and Stimpy.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Oh, very well done.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Very well done. Look at that, 28!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03APPLAUSE
0:10:04 > 0:10:0828, breaking the mould of our previous high scorers. Richard.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Very good answer, Kay, good start. Ren is a psychotic Chihuahua.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Stimpy being a rather good-natured cat.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Dave, you're the last person to have this board,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21you can talk us through all the blanks.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Erm... I don't know Boo Boo, Dum Dum.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I've heard of Bullwinkle J Moose, but I don't know who his partner is.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'm going for Itchy as Scratchy's partner.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You're saying Itchy is the partner of Scratchy.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Well done. 58.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43APPLAUSE
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Good answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Everyone's going to know answers on this round, it's just which ones are scoring the most or the least.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Itchy and Scratchy, good answer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's the Tom and Jerry take-off on The Simpsons.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Let's take a look through the rest of the board. Now, Boo Boo is...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Do you want have a go at these?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Yogi Bear. - Yogi Bear, absolutely right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05That would have scored 51. Bullwinkle J Moose?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I don't know that one.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Rocky and Bullwinkle.- Oh, of course.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Rocky, 11 points. And Dum Dum is a pointless answer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You'd have to be a very specific age to get this right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- That specific age being around about 41.- Our age. I remember Dum Dum, I can't...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Dum Dum was the partner of Touche Turtle.- Touche Turtle, of course.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So, very well done if you got that at home.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27If you did, we're much the same age.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Yeah, touche away!- Touche away.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33OK, let's take a look at our scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Look at that, Kay, 28,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38what a fabulous answer.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41There we go quite a long way up, where we join the high scores.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43First, Dave and Erica on 58,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and then Rob and Nick on 69,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and then up just squeak to 71,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50where we find Colum and Claire W.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You're pretty closely grouped up there,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54particularly Rob and Nick and Colum and Claire.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Nick and Claire, you have the tussle on your hands
0:11:57 > 0:12:00to decide who stays with us and who leaves at the end of the round.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Good luck. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10OK, so we're going to put seven more animated characters on the board,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and here they come. We have got...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'll read those all one more time.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Now, remember, we want you to name the character with which
0:12:34 > 0:12:37these cartoon characters are most closely associated.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Erica, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43You're on 58, Erica.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45The high scorers on 71 are Claire W and Colum,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47which means if you score 12 or less,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50you're definitely in the next round.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54OK, I'm not sure I'm going to score less than 12. I know a couple.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00I'm going to have to go for Penfold as Danger Mouse, I think.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Penfold, Danger Mouse says Erica. Very good indeed.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There is Penfold in the middle of the board.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09There is your red line. If you get below that red line,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:2345.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24APPLAUSE
0:13:24 > 0:13:2745, takes your total up to 103.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Judging by the rest of the round, it's not a bad score at all.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Danger Mouse voiced by David Jason, and Penfold by Terry Scott.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- I used to love Danger Mouse. - Loved Danger mouse.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Ah...- Ah...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It used to be at 5:15 they put on cartoons rather than quiz shows.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I know.- They should do that again, shouldn't they?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47LAUGHTER
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Now then, Claire R and Kay, you are on 28.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53The high scorers at the moment on 103 are Erica and Dave.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58If you can score 74 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00What are you thinking, Claire R?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Not bad, actually.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I was a bit worried when this board came up, but I know a few of them.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- I think I'm going to go for Lilo and Stitch.- Lilo and Stitch.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14There it is, three from the bottom. Lilo and Stitch, says Claire.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17There is your red line. Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Lilo and Stitch, how many people said that?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's right. And you've done it,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26you're through. 59.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28APPLAUSE
0:14:28 > 0:14:3059, very well done,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34which takes your total up to 87. Richard.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Lilo and Stitch, a Disney animated film in 2002.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40They had a couple of TV series
0:14:40 > 0:14:42and a couple of straight-to-video sequels as well.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So remember, we want you to name the characters with which
0:14:45 > 0:14:48these cartoon characters are most closely associated.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54Claire W, you are on 71. The high scorers on 103 are Erica and Dave.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57That means a score of 31 or less will see you through
0:14:57 > 0:14:59to the next round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01That's not going to happen!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Really?- Yeah, because the top one's been bugging me. I can't remember.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's a tough board, this one. I knew many more on the...
0:15:08 > 0:15:12It's on the tip of my tongue, but I'll have to go for an obvious one,
0:15:12 > 0:15:18which is hopefully slightly less obvious than the other one, so I'm going to go for Timon and Pumbaa.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Timon and Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa, says Claire W.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29There is your red line. Below that red line, through to the next round.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You've done it! 26.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Very well done indeed, takes your total up to 97.
0:15:43 > 0:15:4597. Timon and Pumbaa.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48That passes for a very low score in this round. Well played.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Timon and Pumbaa. They sing Hakuna Matata in The Lion King
0:15:52 > 0:15:55and they went on also to be in other Disney animations.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Thank you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Now then, Nick, you're on 69.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02The high scorers are still Erica and Dave on 103.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06That means a score of 33 or less will see you through.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10You're the last person, Nick, so fill in all the blanks if you like.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Probably not going to happen. Erm, Gromit, obviously, is...gettable.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18You can give us the answers if you like.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20That will be Wallace, but that won't get us through,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23so I'd have to have a stab in the dark.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'd guess Miss Bianca would be something to do with Wacky Races,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27though that might be nonsense,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30so I'll have to go for Dixie and Top Cat.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Dixie and Top Cat, says Nick.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Let's see, here's your red line.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Dixie and Top Cat. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Oh, bad luck, Nick.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52takes your total up to 169. Richard.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Unlucky, Nick, you were left with some tough choices there, I think.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Dixie's partner is actually Pixie, as in Pixie and Dixie and Mr Jinks.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Mr Jinks used to say, "I hate those meeces to pieces."
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Those meeces being Dixie and Pixie.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Now you hate those meeces to pieces as well.- Absolutely.- Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Now, Miss Bianca is actually from The Rescuers from 1977, a Disney film,
0:17:13 > 0:17:14so a very low score.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Two points if you said she was partnered with Bernard.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Two points. Very good answer if you got that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Gromit, you're right, was Wallace, but it would have scored 93.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Even in a round of high scores, that's a big one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Now, for one point, again, perhaps a slightly older vintage,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35who was Morocco Mole's partner in crime?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39I have...no idea. Morocco Mole?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Yeah, very well done at home if you said Secret Squirrel.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Secret Squirrel. Number one.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Very good.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, thanks, Richard.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54So at the end of the first round, our losing pair with the highest score, it's Nick and Rob with 169.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Oh, dear, that was a killer, that last board.- It wasn't great, was it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Anyway, we say goodbye to you now, but we will see you again next time.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Nick and Rob. Great contestants. Thanks for playing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07APPLAUSE
0:18:07 > 0:18:12But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20OK, obviously there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24so one of the pairs here will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who second?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I'll go first.- And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:18:45 > 0:18:50to name as many UK Cities With A Y In Their Name as they could.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any UK city with a Y in its name.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Obviously we won't count the word "city" as part of its name.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01If you want to play along at home, there are 10 cities in the UK that have a Y in their name.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06See how many of those you can get while our contestants are having a go at this round. Very best of luck.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Now then, Claire W.- Ooh...
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Oh, no! Oh, it's tough. Only been resident for eight years.- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:23I can think of loads of towns, but I've got one city stuck in my head,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and it just won't go, so I'm going to have to go with it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28York, I think, is a city, I hope.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32York, says Claire W. York. Let's see if that's right
0:19:32 > 0:19:37and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said York.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:4254. Not bad at all, Claire.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46APPLAUSE
0:19:46 > 0:19:4754 for York.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53Er, yeah, it's got a Y in its name, right at the beginning there. That's why it's not called Ork.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Now, the St Peter's School in York, they don't burn a guy on Bonfire Night. Do you know why?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- No.- Because that's where Guy Fawkes went to school.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Ah.- Yeah, the third-oldest school in Britain.- There we are.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Kay.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08I'm racking my brains.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'm not even sure if it's a city, but I'll try Yeovil.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Yeovil, in Somerset.- Mm-hm.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Yeovil, says Kay. Let's see if Yeovil is right
0:20:19 > 0:20:22and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Yeovil.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Oh, bad luck, Kay!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29That's really hard. I'm afraid that's incorrect -
0:20:29 > 0:20:31it means you score 100 points. I'm sorry. Richard.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Sorry, Kay, not a city. But on the upside, it does have a Y in its name.- It does!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37LAUGHTER
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Now then, Erica.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47I think I can think of a couple. I'm going to go for Coventry, I think.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Coventry, says Erica. Let's see if that's right
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Coventry.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57It's right.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Ooh, very well done indeed, Erica! That's great. Nine for Coventry.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Richard.- Well played, Erica. Terrific answer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16It appears in the Domesday Book, Coventry, but as Covantreu, so we wouldn't have accepted that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Wow, -E-U-X?- Just -E-U.- Wow.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25There you go. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Erica and Dave looking very, very strong indeed on just nine.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Then we go up to 54, where we find Claire W and Colum.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35And then up to 100, where I'm afraid we find Kay and Claire R.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41- So, Claire R...- Mm-hm.- You just keep thinking, turning over.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Find a really nice low-scoring city with a Y in it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:50 > 0:21:55OK, remember, we are looking for UK cities with a Y in their names.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- Dave.- Yeah. There's, erm... There's a few that I can think of.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But I'm going to go for Plymouth.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Plymouth. I thought you might go for that. Plymouth.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Of course, you're from Plymouth.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Now then, here comes your red line. It's nice and high.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The high scorers are Claire R and Kay, on 100.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23You are on nine, which means a score of 90 or less will see you through.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Plymouth, says Dave. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's right, and you're through.
0:22:34 > 0:22:3611! Very, very well done indeed.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Takes your total up to a lovely round 20.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Well done, Dave. That fell nicely for you. Erica, you weren't tempted to go for Plymouth?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I was, but embarrassingly wasn't sure if it was definitely a city.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54It definitely is. Normally I do, but, Dave, perhaps you should give us a fact about Plymouth.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I live in it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58LAUGHTER
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Claire R. This is the moment of truth.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Yeah.- We need a brilliant low-scoring city in the UK
0:23:04 > 0:23:06with a Y in its name.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I have been racking my brains very hard.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm not even sure this is a city, but it's the best I can do. Londonderry.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Londonderry, says Claire. Let's see if that's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22There's no red line for you, because you are the high scorers.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Londonderry. Could be a brilliant answer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30No.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's right. Very well done indeed.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Five.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Exactly what we needed from you - Claire That takes your total to 105.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Will it be enough to see you through to the head-to-head? Richard.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Brilliant answer, might have kept yourself in it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52The second-largest city in Northern Ireland, Londonderry, or Derry.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It's going to be the UK City of Culture in 2013.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Splendid. Thank you, Richard.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Now then, Colum. The high scorers are Claire R and Kay on 105.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You're on 54, which means a score of 50 or less
0:24:05 > 0:24:07will see you through to the next round.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Have you had lots of brilliant answers taken by other people?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I can only think of towns, to be honest, so I'm a little worried.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19- I'm going to hope my spelling's right on this one and say Torquay. - Torquay.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Torquay, and you are just praying that that's a city.- Mm.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Right, well, there is your red line, Colum.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28If you get below that, you are through to the next round. Torquay.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32It all hangs on Torquay's city status, doesn't it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35OK, let's see. Torquay, how many people said it, is it right?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40No...! Bad luck, Colum.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I think we probably know the reason why.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46That scores you 100 points
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and takes your total up to an unbeatable 154. Richard.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Sorry, Colum, your spelling is exemplary, but, again, not a city.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55But let's take a look at all of them.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Let's start with the lowest answers, the best you could have given.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Right at the bottom, Newry, with one point.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Then how about Newcastle-upon-Tyne?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08If anyone got that, very well done. Four points.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Ely, in Cambridgeshire, would have scored you four points.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Other ones you could have gone for - Derby, Salisbury,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Canterbury and York, right at the top of the pile.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22They're the 10 cities with a Y in their name.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Very well done if anyone got all 10.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid Colin and Claire W.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31This wasn't meant to happen at all.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Being from Cornwall, my geography goes Cornwall and the North,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- so I was always destined to do terribly on this one.- Oh, dear.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, I'm afraid you were always destined to be Round Two.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Never have you made it into the head-to-head, which is a real shame.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Anyway, it's been great having you on the show, thank you so much, Colum and Claire W.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:26:01For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Now, congratulations, Dave and Erica, Claire and Kay,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11you are now only one round away from the final
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and a chance to play for the jackpot, which stands at £1,000.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Now, only one pair can play for that money,
0:26:17 > 0:26:22and to decide who it's going to be, you are now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Well, it would be quite hard to call this.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Claire and Kay, you were very lucky to get through, you got through DESPITE Yeovil.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Dave and Erica, arguably the hometown, Plymouth, twinned with Pointless, pulled you through.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46So it could be anyone's game. Very best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:02 > 0:27:06People Whose Surnames Are Professions In The Canterbury Tales.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Yes, more simply, we're about to show you five photographs of famous people.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Just tell us their surname, please.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15All their surnames are professions of storytellers in the Canterbury Tales,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18but just give us the surnames of these famous people.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Oh, this is good. I like this. Thanks, Richard.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Now, let's reveal our five famous people who have surnames
0:27:26 > 0:27:29that are mentioned in the Canterbury Tales, and here they are.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45OK. All these people's surnames are professions
0:27:45 > 0:27:48mentioned in the Canterbury Tales.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Now then, Dave and Erica, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- It is. I'm sure it is. OK. - DAVE LAUGHS
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We're going to go for your good friend, B, Miller.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06B, Miller.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09There he is. B, Miller.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16- Claire and Kay.- Erm, we're going to go for C, which is John Squire.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21OK. C, Squire.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25So we have B, Miller, and we have C, Squire.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Dave and Erica went with B, Miller.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Miller.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's right.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Wow, 18.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Not bad at all. Claire and Kay, you have gone for Squire.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53You've said C is Squire.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Let's see. Is Squire right and how many people said it?
0:28:56 > 0:28:5818 is what you have to beat.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Absolutely right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Yep, you've done it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Oh, fantastic!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Claire and Kay, that's brilliant. That's a pointless answer.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17It adds £250 to today's jackpot. It takes the jackpot up to £1,250.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18It scores you nothing
0:29:18 > 0:29:23and it means, after one question, Claire and Kay, you are up one-nil. Well done. Richard.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Very well played. John Squire, the guitarist from the Stone Roses of course.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32I suspect if you're the correct age to have got a pointless answer with Touche Turtle,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35you're also the correct age to get a correct answer with John Squire.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38And, yes, Ben Miller with 18.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43I'm going to go on record as saying...I'm a fan of his work. LAUGHTER
0:29:43 > 0:29:46I really like him.
0:29:46 > 0:29:53- You a fan?- I am. - Have you worked with him?- Er, yeah, I have a couple of times, yeah.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Have you worked on that Trouble In Paradise show he does?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- No. - RICHARD LAUGHS It's so good, that!
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Have you worked with him on that Worst Week that he does, the sitcom?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Er, no, no.- I love that!
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- No, I haven't... - You haven't worked with him on that? What have you done with him?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Erm...Armstrong And Miller, we did, yeah.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Oh.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Oh... No, no, no... Y-Yeah. Oh, I lo... Armstrong And Miller.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Oh, that's good. Yeah. Oh.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24That's good. But it must be... What's it like working with him?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Amazing.- He's amazing. He can literally drag anyone up, can't he?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Yeah.- Have you seen the sketch he does, the Airman?
0:30:32 > 0:30:38- Yes.- Oh, he's funny in that.- Yeah? - He is. He's really good in that.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40He is good. Stand-out.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Is there any way you could get me his autograph?- I will do my best.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Very envious you've got to work with him. Love that guy.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55A is Peter Cook. So, Cook, that would have scored you 27 points.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- D.- Marlene Pardoner.- It's not, I'm afraid, it's Aretha Franklin.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03The Franklin's Tale.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Of course. - So that would have scored you eight.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10And the biggest score, actually. Beats Ben Miller, beats Peter Cook.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- Christopher Reeve. And that would have scored you 43.- Very good indeed.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Thanks, Richard. Here is your second question. Dave and Erica, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Very best of luck. Here it comes.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25It concerns...Butterflies.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Butterflies. Richard.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33We'll show you the names of five butterflies seen wild in the UK, but we've left out some letters.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Can you fill in the missing letters and give us the name of the butterflies, please?
0:31:37 > 0:31:42OK, five butterflies with missing letters, and here they come. We have got...
0:31:44 > 0:31:50I'm going to read out the letters that are there, but obviously the dashes stand for missing letters.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I'll read them one more time.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20So there we are. Five butterflies with missing bits.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Claire and Kay, you go first this time.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Erm, we're going to go for painted lady. The last one.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Painted lady. The last one, painted lady.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Dave and Erica, remember you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Talk us through any of those other butterflies.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I think the second to last one's something beauty,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43but I don't know the first bit.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46The only other one we had apart from painted lady
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- was red admiral, so it's going to have to be that, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Red admiral? - We think that's what it is.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54OK, so we have painted lady from Claire and Kay
0:32:54 > 0:32:56and red admiral from Dave and Erica.
0:32:56 > 0:33:02Claire and Kay have said painted lady. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Absolutely right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Painted lady, 17.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15APPLAUSE
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Dave and Erica, 17 is what you have to beat to stay in the game.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Red admiral, you are saying.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25The one in the middle of the board. Let's see if that's right
0:33:25 > 0:33:29and, if it is, how many people said red admiral.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Yep, it's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Will it beat 17 or will we say goodbye to Dave and Erica?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Yes, I'm afraid we will. 38.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Which means, after only two questions, Claire and Kay, you are through to the final two-nil.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Richard.- Yeah, well played, Claire and Kay. Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55The top one is the peacock butterfly, as you might expect.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57That would have scored you 27.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Do you know the second one? Can you make any word fit that?
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Erm...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03No.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Brimstone.- Brimstone.- The brimstone.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Now, the brimstone would have scored you six.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11The male brimstone has yellow wings,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and some people say that's where we get the name butterfly from.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Apparently from its distinctive yellow wings.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21And...you're absolutely right, it is something beauty.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I wonder if anyone at home's got that.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- I've got it now.- I've been spending ages trying to fill it in. What do you think it is?- Camberwell beauty.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Camberwell beauty, absolutely right. That would have scored three points.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36So that's the best answer. Very well done if you said Camberwell beauty.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, Dave and Erica.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Did you know any of those other butterflies?
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- No.- No. Sorry.- And beauty, you were there. Camberwell?- Halfway.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Might you have got that? - I don't think so, no.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Only if it had been a Plymouth beauty.- We'd have been fine.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, it's been lovely having you on the show, Dave and Erica.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03- Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:03 > 0:35:07But for Claire and Kay, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Congratulations, Claire and Kay! You have fought off
0:35:15 > 0:35:18all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Well, you're newcomers to the show.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39This is your first and only Pointless.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Quite often, it's returning pairs who come through to the final.- Yeah.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Lowest scorers in Round One, you survived Yeovil-gate in Round Two.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- I'll never live that down.- Oh. Nor will Yeovil, to be fair.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- No!- And then straight through the head-to-head two-nil.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Very impressive. So, it all rather depends on the categories you get.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00What would you like to see? What would be a really good category?
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- Well, films.- Films would be good. I'm always pretty strong on geography, so that would be OK.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07OK, film and geography. Right, well, the rules are very simple.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14We've had one pointless answer today, from you in the head-to-head.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17You only have to find one more now and you will win that jackpot.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Firstly, you've got to choose your category, and you can choose from these five options. Good luck.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- What are you thinking? I don't think I can do Classic Lit. - I think British Actors.- I think so.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Yeah, we'll go for British Actors, please.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39British Actors it is, OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:39 > 0:36:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Jude Law Films as they could.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48It's come back to film. Richard.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52We're looking for any feature film on general release for which Jude Law
0:36:52 > 0:36:54has received an acting credit, up to the start of 2012.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57As always, no TV films, short films or documentaries,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00but voice performances do count, and very best of luck.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07Now, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that £1,250
0:37:07 > 0:37:10is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22- My mind's gone completely blank. - OK, Alfie.- Closer.- Closer. The Holiday.- Oh, that's a terrible film.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Yeah, it's terrible, but he was definitely in it.- Yeah.- He was in...
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I think Alfie will be quite high. What else?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Right, so we're going back, like early films, like '90s.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Erm...- Closer's a good one. Holiday.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- What else was he in? Was he in something classical?- Any animations or anything like that?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42He's not been in Sherlock Holmes?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Was he not in the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Yeah, but I think that might be quite high.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50What's some older stuff? What was he in with Sienna Miller?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Is he in Love Actually? - No, he's not in Love Actually.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Sienna Miller... I don't... - I thought they met...
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Well, we've got three.- Yeah. - What's the time? 17.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- So we've got Alfie. - Alfie, Closer and The Holiday.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- I don't think they're pointless. - No, I don't.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11We've done our best. That's all I can think of.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Just trying to think if he's in... OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Right, we've got three.- OK, you have your answers. Very good.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22We were looking for Jude Law Films. I now need your three answers.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25OK, we're going to go for Closer, The Holiday and Alfie.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Closer.- Probably Closer. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Which do you think is your least likely?- Maybe Alfie.- Alfie.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37We'll put that first.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41OK, let's pop those answers on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44We have got Alfie, The Holiday and Closer.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OK, so we were looking for Jude Law Films.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Alfie was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £1,250,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59so let's see how many people said Alfie.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02It's right.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's right. Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09you will be leaving here with £1,250.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Down it goes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Ooh, 22.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- APPLAUSE - Ooh.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Alfie, though, not a pointless answer.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24That was just holding a place, though, wasn't it? You weren't expecting that to be pointless.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Now then, our jackpot is £1,250. What would you do with that?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Kay.- Probably go on...a holiday!
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- SHE LAUGHS - So, yeah.- Very good. Claire?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Yeah, we've got friends in Spain who we don't get to see often enough,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39so I think we'd just pop over for a wee trip.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Excellent. Good, good, good. Now, we were looking for Jude Law Films.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Let's hope one of your two remaining answers will see you off to Spain.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Your next answer is The Holiday.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53This has to be correct and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Let's see how many people said The Holiday.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01It's right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03So Alfie took us down to 22.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05The Holiday, taking us down through the 40s, through the 30s,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07through the 20s.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11If this goes all the way down to zero, £1,250 is yours.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Nine for The Holiday. - APPLAUSE
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Nine. It's all moving very much in the right direction.
0:40:17 > 0:40:23Which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26£1,250. We were looking for Jude Law Films.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Your final answer and your most confident shot at a pointless answer is Closer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36Well, maybe this will be pointless. Maybe this will win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39This has to be correct, has to be pointless. Let's find out.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Closer. How many people said it?
0:40:44 > 0:40:49OK, so Alfie took us to 22. The Holiday took us down to nine.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Can Closer take us down to zero? And, if it does,
0:40:52 > 0:40:54you will leave here with £1,250.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Oh, no! Three!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- That's just bad luck. - That really is bad luck.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250,
0:41:11 > 0:41:13which will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17You've been brilliant contestants and you do of course get
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done for that. - Thank you.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Richard.- Yeah, unlucky, Claire and Kay. You played very well throughout.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32I think the Sienna Miller film you were thinking of that he was in, er, is Alfie.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Oh, OK.- Oh, right.- So, there you go.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Have you got any answers?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Er, Talented Mr Ripley?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- Talented Mr Ripley would have scored five points.- Oh, for heaven's sake.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Erm...AI.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- AI...would have scored you seven points.- Oh, for heaven's sake.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Let's look at some of the pointless ones. There's a couple of big films.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Contagion, a big blockbuster from 2011...- Ah, yeah, yeah. - ..with Matt Damon amongst others,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59eXistenZ, with Jennifer Jason Leigh,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Final Cut, with lots of the Primrose Hill set in that.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05He plays someone called Jude who's died. Set at his funeral.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I Love You, I Love You Not, Love, Honour And Obey,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10where again he plays Jude and Sadie Frost plays Sadie.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, with Kevin Spacey,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16that was a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Rage, pointless. Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, pointless.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Some people might have got that.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24And The Wisdom Of Crocodiles, where he plays a modern-day vampire.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Very, very well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32We do have to say goodbye to you, Claire and Kay, but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35You've gone straight through Pointless all the way to the final.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- Thank you both so much for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you. - It's been awesome.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46But unfortunately Claire and Kay didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:46 > 0:42:51so it rolls over, which means on the next show we will be playing for £2,250.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
