Episode 52 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

Let's meet today's players.

Welcome back, Tracy and Tora. You were on the show last time.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.

This is your second chance. Remind us how you know each other, Tracy.

We met on our first day at Sandhurst together, nearly 16 years ago.

-And Tora, of course, you're a logistician?

-That's correct.

There we are. Like to be correct.

And Tracy, you are in the Medical Corps.

-Indeed.

-Tracy, what's going to be great for you today?

-Probably films or literature.

-Tora, how about you?

-What would you like to see?

-TV and films.

What kind of films do you like?

Science fiction and vampire-based, werewolf-based films, yeah.

Very good. Not army films, not war films, particularly?

-That's a bit of a busman's holiday.

-Absolutely.

Welcome back to the show.

I'm sure we'll see much more of you than we did last time.

Best of luck. And next, we welcome Dan and Bob.

How do you two know each other.

We've known each other nearly 20 years.

I was originally from Shetland and when I moved down,

I was sat next to Bob in school.

-And Bob, where's that? Where are you from?

-Grimsby.

-Grimsby?

-Afraid so.

-OK. Dan, what are your hobbies?

-I'm quite active, quite sporty.

I'm currently training for a Special Forces-style assault course,

where you run through fire

and get plunged into ice water, electrocuted.

-How extraordinary. Is this just for fun? A dare?

-For fun.

-I like to try anything once, hence why I'm here.

-OK.

Bob, you will stop him

-when he takes this sort of thing too far, won't you?

-Oh, no!

I'm hoping for the taking it too far.

That way, I can sit and gloat

that I never did anything so foolish myself.

Very good indeed. It's great to have you on the show.

Very, very best of luck. And next, we welcome back Siobhan and Andy.

You were also on the show last time.

-Siobhan, remind us how you two know each other.

-We are married.

It's nearly five years, and we met when I was in my first year of uni.

And he was at a party, and he was the fit guy at the party.

-The fit guy or the thick guy?

-The fit guy!

-Oh, the fit guy! Sorry.

Yeah. I thought no-one that good looking would be interested in me.

-And I married him.

-Of course he was interested in you, Siobhan.

-And five years?

-Nearly five, yeah.

-Many congratulations.

What are you hoping's going to come up today?

-Bit of Disney would be nice.

-Bit of Disney.

-Yeah.

D'you like the Pixar films?

Yeah, they're brilliant. Monsters Inc, fantastic film.

-Toy Story 3, all the Toy Story...

-I weeped in Toy Story 3!

Up there in my pantheon of all-time favourite films.

It's emotional at the end when they're all holding hands...

Yeah!

No, it's fine, it's fine. I'll be...

Oh!

Andy, what would you like to see come up today?

Geography would be good, and if we could have some martial arts

and some professional wrestling, that'd be good.

-We do martial arts and wrestling before every show.

-Yeah, yeah!

Ooh, I'm still a bit stiff!

It's all that running through ice and fire, actually, that did for me.

I've slightly, I've just pulled one of my lats. That's...yeah.

So, Siobhan and Andy, welcome back. Great to have you back on.

And finally, we've got the Kathys. The Kathys, R and C.

How do you two know each other?

-Go on.

-Er, we were both, we belong to a local association of Wrens.

-Royal Navy?

-Which is Royal Navy. Sailors.

-We have two lady army officers and lady sailors.

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

-And when did you do that?

-Ooh, too long ago to remember.

Kathy R, what are you hoping is going to come up today?

-What's going to be brilliant for you?

-Something I know the answer to.

-Being Wrens of course, sailing?

-No.

-No.

-Did you not...?

-What? The Navy didn't sail!

-Wrens didn't go to sea.

-You never went to sea?

-Not till 1994.

-Oh, I see. I beg your pardon.

It's lovely to have you here. Very best of luck.

We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

There's only one person left. He turned down the job of managing the England football team

cos it wasn't as high pressured as this. It's my Pointless friend.

-It's Richard.

-Hiya.

APPLAUSE

-Well, now!

-Well, now. Big show. Very special day.

-Very special day.

-Our 300th Pointless.

-Yeah.

-Who would have thought?

Actually, seriously, who would have thought?

Genuinely, who would have thought?

-I have a little gift for the people at home.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

Question One is a question I'm asked for all the time,

and I've finally caved in.

And I don't just have a gift for the people at home.

As you know from the last show, I told you I had a gift for you,

in the hope that it might push you into getting one for me.

I've got a little...

-Have you got me one?

-I've got you a present, look at that.

-Is it as big as this?

-Yeah, it's...!

-Oh!

-Ooh, God!

-There you go. That's for you.

-Look at that!

D'you want to open yours first?

-It's a map of the Central African Republic.

-Look at that!

-Which is...

That is...

Wow, look at that. That's...

-Beautifully put together.

-Wonderful.

That's the most common pointless answer in Pointless history.

-Central African Republic.

-Wow. Well, I am...

You're welling up, yeah? It's like Toy Story all over again.

LAUGHTER

Let me have a little look at this. You've wrapped this nicely.

Well, I did that myself.

Oh, it's a plug for my laptop!

-Oh, that's terrific news.

-I just thought, you know,

I thought maybe you might...

It hasn't been plugged in in 300 episodes.

I thought you might like to switch it on.

I keep meaning to get one.

-That's lovely. Shall we get on with the show?

-Let's get on with the show.

I've also got a little gift for the audience here at the end of the show.

-What's that?

-I'm not telling.

-OK.

-Let's get on, but Question One is for everybody at home.

-Brilliant.

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much, Richard.

It's a pleasure. I, literally... I was telling someone yesterday,

it's exactly what I wanted.

It's what you need.

All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

We're looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,

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

What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer -

an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

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

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,

so today's jackpot starts off at a respectable £3,500.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

OK, in this first round, each of you needs to give me one answer,

and you cannot confer.

Whichever pair has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.

If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,

they will score the maximum of 100 points.

Try and avoid those if you can. OK, our first category today is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second?

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. Star Wars Actors. Richard.

Yes, we're looking for the name of any actor who's received a credit

in any of the six Star Wars movies, released between 1977 and 2005.

So, any of the six Star Wars movies,

any actor according to IMDB who is credited with appearing in that.

If you want to know if there's plenty of answers,

-there's your answers.

-This is just a gift, isn't it?

Yes. I'm going to also... I'm going to exclusively reveal

there are a few pointless answers out there.

Now then, Tracy and Tora.

You all drew lots before the show, and you go first. Tracy.

-Is this a good question for you?

-It's really not a good question.

Really? You must know some people who are in it.

I think I know at least one, so I'll go with that.

OK. What's it going to be?

-Ewan McGregor.

-Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, how many people said Ewan McGregor.

It's right.

25.

Not bad at all, Tracy.

25 for Ewan McGregor.

Yeah, good answer. He was Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace,

Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith.

Thank you very much. Now then, Dan,

I have a feeling you're going to be quite good at this.

I'm not a fan of the Star Wars saga particularly,

but I think Warwick Davis was in Star Wars.

Warwick Davis, says Dan. Let's see if that's right

and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Warwick Davis.

It's right. Very well done, Dan.

Oh, look at that! Superb, Dan!

Not only was he in it, it's a pointless answer,

which means it adds £250 to today's jackpot.

Takes the total up to £3,750, and it scores you nothing. Very well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I have a hunch that might not be the last pointless answer.

Absolutely right. Well played, Dan. Cos there's so many answers,

there's quite a few pointless answers

of people who are quite well known, Warwick Davis being one of them.

Played Wicket the Ewok in Return Of The Jedi.

-Siobhan.

-Hi.

-Siobhan.

I am going to take a big risk...

..and I've got a feeling that Ricky Gervais is in one of the films.

I don't know what this face means,

but Andy just made it, and it was this.

Oh, no! Oh, pants!

But does Andy know everything about Star Wars?

-He knows a lot of stuff.

-OK. Maybe this snuck past him.

-He made me watch all six films.

-OK.

D'you remember Ricky Gervais being in any of them?

No, but I've played the Pointless board game and I'm pretty sure

that when the Star Wars films came up, it was one of the answers.

So...

LAUGHTER

Has Ricky Gervais been in any of the Star Wars films,

and if so, how many of our 100 people said it?

Ooh, no, Siobhan.

I wonder if you're thinking of Stardust.

Oh, d'you know what? I think I am!

Bad luck, I'm sorry, Siobhan.

-That's OK.

-That scores you 100 points.

-Kathy C.

-Oh, no.

-Star Wars.

-No.

I don't know whether it's... I know... I'm thinking of an actor

but I don't know whether it was this one or Doctor Who.

But Tom Baker.

OK, Tom Baker, says Kathy C. Let's see if Tom Baker's right

and if it is, how many people said Tom Baker.

No! Bad luck. I'm afraid that's incorrect.

You were absolutely right with Doctor Who.

That scores you 100 points, I'm sorry. Richard.

Imagine some of the scenes at home

with people who know every single thing about Star Wars.

And they just heard Ricky Gervais and Tom Baker.

I promised them a treat,

and now look!

Well, we are halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

A pointless answer from Dan,

so Dan and Bob looking particularly strong.

Then we come up to 25, where we find Tracy and Tora,

also looking particularly strong.

And then we have our tied high scorers, Siobhan and Andy

and the Kathys, on 100.

So, Kathy R and Andy, it's going to be a battle royal

between the pair of you to see

who stays and who leaves at the end of the round.

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

We are looking for Star Wars actors from any of the six Star Wars films.

Kathy R. You're the highest scorers on 100,

joint high scorers with Andy and Siobhan.

Just from the way Andy reacted to Siobhan's answer,

something tells me he's good on Star Wars actors.

-So we're going to need something quite special from you.

-Dave Prowse.

Dave Prowse. Let's see how many people said Dave Prowse?

It's right.

That's a brilliant answer, Kathy R.

5 for Dave Prowse, takes your total up to 105.

Will it be enough to keep you in the game?

Let's hope so. Richard.

Very, very well played, Kathy. Very well done.

He was Darth Vader.

Andy.

105, the Kathys are on now. 105.

You are on 100. If you want to avoid becoming the highest scorers,

there is only one option. You have to score four or less.

But I think you might be able to add another 250 quid to our jackpot.

-I bet you've got a pointless answer.

-I'll give it a go.

That was a cracking answer, though.

I believe Darth Maul was played by Ray Parks.

OK, Andy. There is your red line.

If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.

Ray Parks, said Andy. Is that right? How many people said it?

GROANS

Ohhh, Andy.

Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer,

which means you score 100 points. That takes your total up to 200.

Oh, Bob!

Bob, you're on nothing. The high scorers on 200

are Andy and Siobhan.

Quite the act to follow.

You are through to the next round whatever happens.

But Dan found a pointless answer. Kind of embarrassing if you didn't.

I'm going to go for Christopher Lee,

who I think played Darth Sidious.

Christopher Lee, says Bob. Let's see if that's right

and if it is, how many people said it.

No red line for you as you're already through.

Absolutely right.

Will it be pointless, I wonder?

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

Bob, very well done.

Not pointless, but 1.

Cracking answer. Takes your total to 1.

-Richard.

-Yeah, good answer.

It's Count Dooku in Attack Of The Clones

-and Revenge Of The Sith.

-Now then...

Tora. Great news.

You're through to the next round.

Less great news, I now need an answer from you.

Unless, maybe Star Wars is good for you. I'm not sure.

-Star Wars isn't too bad.

-It isn't too bad.

-Might you have a pointless answer?

-I'll say Carrie Fisher.

Carrie Fisher says Tora. Carrie Fisher.

How many people said that?

It's right.

24.

One lower than Tracy's answer on 25.

That takes your total up to 49.

-Carrie Fisher.

-Yes, Princess Leia.

Interestingly, scoring less than Ewan McGregor in the first three films,

which of course were the last three films, if that makes sense.

Now, Andy.

It's not Ray Parks, it's Ray Park, so we couldn't give it to you,

I'm afraid, in case anyone else wanted to say it.

And if you had said Ray Park, would have been perfect again.

-Would have been a pointless answer.

-Oh!

-Sorry.

-Oh no, Andy.

So it's very, very unfortunate.

Much, much better answer than Ricky Gervais.

Er, let's take a look

at some of the pointless answers.

A lot of people at home would have got some of these.

Anthony Daniels, who played C3PO was a pointless answer.

R2D2, Kenny Baker would have scored you two.

Hugh Quarshie, Captain Panaka, he was a pointless answer.

Iain McDiarmid, who played Senator Palpatine.

Jake Lloyd, who was the young Anakin Skywalker.

Keira Knightley, who was Queen Amidala's handmaiden.

There's Ray Park

who, as you say, played Darth Maul.

Brian Blessed, who played the voice of Boss Nass.

Terence Stamp, who played a chancellor,

and Warwick Davis, who played Wicket, as we've already discussed.

To anyone at home who wants to see

all the pointless answers, I can't show all of them

cos the news is on at six, but suffice to say,

if you got an obscure answer, it was pointless.

-Very well done.

-Can I ask one?

-Of course you can.

-Does this include people who did voices?

-Yeah.

-Peter Serafinowicz.

-Is pointless.

-Ye-s-s!

-Absolutely right. Yeah.

-There we are.

-He did the voice of Darth Maul, didn't he?

-Yeah, absolutely.

Very good. What were the high scoring ones?

Let's look at the high scorers that most of our 100 people said.

Third highest score was Carrie Fisher.

24, was the third highest of all.

25 would have seen you, as we know, Ewan McGregor.

And who do you reckon is the top?

It's between Alec Guinness and Harrison Ford.

Harrison Ford, absolutely, scored 44.

-The most well known of all the Star Wars actors.

-Wow.

Very good indeed. Well, Richard, thank you so much.

At the end of Round One, the losing pair,

it's Siobhan and Andy. And Andy, you lost

doing such a brave thing.

You've performed exemplarily.

We'll draw a veil over Ricky Gervais, Siobhan.

I was going for obscure.

You were, and you were absolutely right.

Tactics, impeccable.

But actual answers,

-wrong.

-Yeah.

Anyway, Andy and Siobhan,

it's been great having you on both shows. Thank you so much.

Great contestants. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

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

Now, obviously there's only going to be room for two pairs

in the head-to-head, so one of the teams in front of me now

will be leaving us at the end of this round.

OK, our category for Round Two is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second?

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

OK, our Round Two question concerns...

Female Firsts, Richard.

On each board I'm going to show you six feats, and you have to tell us

who was the first female in history to achieve those feats.

Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.

An incorrect answer, 100 points.

There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.

We are looking for the names of the women

who achieved these famous firsts.

And here we have got...

I'll read those again.

There we are.

Six feats.

Tracy.

I think it might be quite high, and I hope it's right,

so I'm going to go for Win Eurovision for the UK,

-and say Sandie Shaw.

-Sandie Shaw, you are saying,

as the first woman to win Eurovision for the UK.

Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.

It's right.

16. Not a bad score at all, Tracy.

-16 for Sandie Shaw.

-Yeah, well played, Tracy.

She won in 1967 with Puppet On A String.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Bob.

Remember, we are looking for the names of women

who achieved these famous firsts.

I must say, female achievements is not something I've boned up on,

and I'm going to have a stab at Go Into Space.

I'm going to say Helen Sharman.

Helen Sharman, you are saying, the first woman to go into space.

Let's see if that's right and if it is,

let's see how many people knew Helen Sharman.

Ooh! Bad luck, Bob.

Bad luck. Unfortunately, an incorrect answer,

but it sounded brilliant.

100 points, I'm sorry to say.

Yeah, Helen Sharman, I'm afraid, first Briton in space.

Helen Sharman.

Kathy R.

You're the last person to have this board

so you can fill in any of the blanks, if you like.

Don't know the first one.

Um, maybe Hillary Clinton for the second one, but I'm not sure.

Um, is it the Dutch one who married Henry VIII?

I can't remember her name.

I don't know the university, so I'm going for going to space,

and I hope I'm going to pronounce it right, Valentina Tereshkova.

Valentina Tereshkova. Let's see if it's right

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

Well done, it's right, Kathy.

-Very well done, indeed.

-APPLAUSE

That's a great answer. It's scores you one.

A great example of someone going through the board,

getting the obvious ones wrong and then pulling out

a brilliant answer right at the bottom of the board.

-So Dave Prowse and Valentina Tereshkova, that's not bad.

-Brilliant.

Let's take a look at the rest of them.

The run for vice-president not Hillary Clinton, she is a Democrat.

-Xander, do you know that one?

-Palin.

Sarah Palin would have scored you 14.

The first woman to marry Henry VIII? MOUTHS WORDS

We should all know this, but it's Catherine of Aragon.

Would have scored you 20. To win a Best Director Oscar?

-Kathryn Bigelow.

-For The Hurt Locker.

Absolutely. Only two points.

There's a pointless answer,

which is the first female cox is in the university boat race.

Sue Brown, so very well done if you got that.

Anyone who got all six of those, that is no mean feat.

Thank you. Let's take a look at the scores.

Well, the Kathys are looking very strong indeed on just one.

Then up to Tracy and Tora on 16, also looking very strong

when we put it in the context of Bob and Dan's 100.

Anything can happen in the second so, Dan,

all we need from you is a low scoring answer

and a bit of a prayer and maybe that will be enough to get you through to the head-to-head.

Best of luck. OK, can the second players

please take their places at the podium?

OK, we'll put six more female firsts on the board and here they come.

We have got...

I'll read them one final time...

There we are, now then, Kathy C,

you are on 1. Highest scorers are Bob and Dan

on 100, which means a score of 98 or less from you

will be enough to see you into the head-to-head.

The first test-tube baby - Louise Brown.

Louise Brown.

Louise Brown. Is that right? How many people said it?

You've done it.

-Eight.

-APPLAUSE.

That's a brilliant answer. It takes your total up to 9.

Lovely low total there. Richard.

Yes, 1978, under the procedure now known as IVF.

Now then, Dan, we're looking for the names

of women who achieved these famous firsts.

I was hoping to go for that, so I'm not sure.

Dan, that was only eight points. We want a pointless answer from you.

I will have to guess that the Nobel Prize

was Marie Curie.

Marie Curie you are saying, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.

Let's see if Marie Curie is right

and how many people said it.

It's right!

Still going down. Ooh, 17.

APPLAUSE

17, which takes your total

up to an unbeatable 117. Richard.

Yes, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize

and the first of either sex to win two Nobel prizes in science.

-Two Nobel prizes?

-One in physics, one in chemistry.

-Wow.

-Yeah!

LAUGHTER

Tora, once again, I carry great news for you.

You are through to the next round.

It doesn't matter what you say, you're on 16,

you'll never overtake the high score of Dan and Bob.

But take us through the board. You're the last person to have it.

So have a guess at some of these answers.

OK, trainer, Grand National winner, I think is Jenny Pitman.

I can picture the lady who is the leader of the Green Party,

but I cannot for the life of me remember her name

and appear on a postage stamp I believe is Queen Victoria

for the Penny Black.

What about head of MI5, have you got that?

-Nope.

-I thought you were going to say that's classified!

-I might have to kill you if I told you.

-Yeah.

Which one will you go for, Tora?

-Appear on a postage stamp, Queen Victoria.

-OK. Very good.

Queen Victoria. Is that correct? If it is, how many people said it?

-38.

-APPLAUSE

Takes your total up to 54.

-Queen Victoria.

-Good answer, safely through. Appeared on the Penny Black,

the first postage stamp.

Do you know how many Penny Blacks there were?

Original Penny Blacks, what do you reckon?

12.

So close(!) 68 million.

LAUGHTER Let's go through the rest of them.

You're right about the Grand National winner,

Jenny Pitman who trained Corbiere in 1983.

The head of MI5.

-Stella Rimington.

-Absolutely right.

Would have scored three.

One point if you can name the first woman

to sit in the House of Commons for the Green party.

-I do know her name.

-MP for Brighton Pavilion.

-It would have to be Brighton.

-Yeah.

-It's Caroline Lucas.

-Yep.

Described the House of Commons like Hogwarts on steroids when she first arrived.

-Which makes sound quite fun.

-Yes.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

At the end of Round 2, losing pair with a highest score, it's Dan and Bob.

-HE SIGHS

-We've been spoilt on our 300th show.

People who have gone out have gone out for taking brilliant risks.

Great news is we will see you again. I have no doubt you will go much further when we have you back.

-In the meantime, thanks very much playing. Dan and Bob.

-APPLAUSE

For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Tracy and Tora, Kathy R and Kathy C,

you are only one round away from the final

-and a chance to play for jackpot, which currently stands at £3,750.

-APPLAUSE

Obviously, only one pair can play for that money.

To decide which pair it's going to be,

you are going head-to-head on the best of three questions.

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot

and you are now allowed to confer.

It's the Army versus the Navy.

It's what it boils down to.

Very exciting. Let's play the head-to-head.

APPLAUSE

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

Exotic fruits, Richard.

Yes, as a special 300th-show treat,

we are back to show you five pictures of exotic fruit.

Can you identify them, please?

OK. Thanks, Richard, let's reveal our five exotic fruits

and here they come. We have...

So there they are. Five exotic fruits. Tracy and Tora,

because you played best throughout the show, you go first.

INDISTINCT WHISPERING

We're going for pomegranate at E.

E, pomegranate, says Tora and Tracy.

-The Kathys. You can talk out loud now, if you like.

-Um...

We're going to go for A, star fruit.

Star fruit.

If it's not called that, it should be, certainly. Star fruit.

We have pomegranate, we have star fruit.

Tracy and Tora said E was pomegranate.

Let's see if it's right. If it is, how many people said pomegranate?

It's right.

-INHALES SHARPLY

-79.

APPLAUSE

79 said "pomegranate". So the Kathys have said that A is star fruit.

Let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many said star fruit for A.

It's right. 79's what we had.

74. Wow.

Very, very closely run, but the Kathys have it,

which means after only one question,

it's 1-0 to Kathy R and Kathy C. Richard.

Yes, the star fruit,

which until the early '90s was called the opal fruit(!) LAUGHTER

Do you know what B is, do you want to have a go at these?

BOTH: Papaya.

Papaya, absolutely right. That would have scored 36.

That would have won the point, as well.

C?

Is lychee?

-It's not lychee, actually.

-No?

-It's a mangosteen.

A mangosteen would have scored you four points.

You could have mangosteen and langoustine.

-That would be nice.

-Wouldn't it?

-And D.

-D.

-No idea?

-It looks like a stick of rock.

-It does.

It's the dragon fruit. Dragon fruit.

It would have scored a hefty 23, but would have won the point.

Well done if you got those.

-Well done to anybody who got a mangosteen.

-Yeah.

Here comes your second question

and it concerns...

..winners of the Open Championship.

Winners of the Open Championship. Richard.

We're about to show you the names of five golfers

who won the Open Championship since 1970.

We're only going to give you their initials. Can you pick the most obscure from this board?

OK, thanks very much.

Tracy and Tora, for you, and for the Army,

you have to win this question to stay in the game.

Here it comes. Let's reveal our five Open champions.

And we have...

I'll read those one more time..

There are our five Open Championship champions.

Now, the Kathys, you go first this time.

INDISTINCT WHISPERING

We are going for LT, Lee Trevino.

Lee Trevino, you're saying.

Kathy R and Kathy C for LT, Lee Trevino.

Tracy and Tora, you can talk us through the board out loud.

We think it's Seve Ballesteros, SB,

and NF, Nick Faldo.

But they're both really well known.

I don't know, Tora?

Are you getting anything for the bottom two?

I'm afraid not.

-Come on, the Army, come on.

-I know.

-OK, we're going to go Nick Faldo, please.

-NF, Nick Faldo.

We have LT, Lee Trevino,

NF, Nick Faldo. The Kathys said Lee Trevino.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.

It's a good one, down it goes.

Oh, look at that. 8.

APPLAUSE

Wow, 8 for Lee Trevino.

Now, the Army.

Tracy and Tora have said

NF, Faldo. 8 is what you have to beat.

Can Nick Faldo do it?

APPLAUSE

55 for Nick Faldo...

..which means after only two questions, Kathy R and Kathy C are through to the final 2-0. Richard.

That is a body blow for the Army, isn't it?

-They're not going to like that one bit.

-Not one bit.

Let's go through the answers. Only one on the board that would have won you the point.

It's not SB, which you rightly said was Seve Ballesteros.

He would have scored you 40 points.

It's not even IB-F, who is the Australian golfer

Ian Baker-Finch, who won in 1991. He would've scored you 9 points.

The one that would have got you the points is DC, who won in 2011.

Very famous, very emotional victory

for the Northern Irish golfer Darren Clarke.

Darren Clarke would have scored you 5 points.

-Very well done if you got Darren Clarke.

-Oh, wow.

Thank you, Richard. So the losing pair -

Tracy and Tora.

You've come through this game so well, so strongly

and then you came up against the Navy.

Senior Service every time.

Senior Service every time!

I'm sorry this is where we say goodbye.

It's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you.

BOTH: Thank you. APPLAUSE

But for Kathy R and Kathy C, it is now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Kathy R, Kathy C, you have fought off the competition

and won the coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,750.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

We've only had one pointless answer on the show today.

If you can find one more now, you would take home £3,750.

Firstly, you've got to choose a category and you can choose

from these five options. They are...

-Royal family?

-Yeah.

Playwrights would be all right for me. Royal family might be OK.

Detective fiction might be OK.

The only one I wouldn't want is '70s music. The one we're both agreed on

-is the royal family.

-OK.

The royal family. Let's find out what the question is.

Here it comes.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could.

Richard.

We're looking for anyone listed in the line of succession

on the UK monarchy website who is not a direct descendant of Queen Elizabeth II.

That's not a child, grandchild or great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.

The last in line to the throne who is a direct descendant is Zara Phillips, or Zara Tindall.

-So anybody in the line of succession after her, please.

-OK. Thanks very much, Richard.

You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win £3,750 is just one of those answers

to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

There they are. Your time starts now.

-Princess Margaret's children, Sarah...

-Sarah Catto.

-Chatto?

BOTH: And Viscount Linley.

-The Duke of Gloucester.

-Yeah.

-The Duke of Kent.

-And their children, which is, um...

Um...

Lord Alexander.

Looking at you.

LAUGHTER

-Lord Frederick Windsor.

-Yeah.

-Lord Frederick Windsor.

So we have Lord Frederick Windsor, Sarah Chatto,

and one more.

-Helen. I don't know Helen's name.

-Windsor?

-Helen Windsor. Lady Helen Windsor.

-No, she got married, didn't she?

You've got to have the married names, though.

So Lord Freddie Windsor.

Yeah. Sarah Chatto.

-And the Duke of Kent.

-The Duke of Kent.

-OK, we're ready.

OK. We can stop the clock. I now need your three answers.

We were looking for people in the line of succession

who are not direct descendants of Queen Elizabeth II.

-Lord Freddie Windsor.

-Lord Freddie Windsor.

-Sarah Chatto.

-Sarah Chatto, yeah.

-And the Duke of Kent.

-And the Duke of Kent.

Of those three answers, which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-Lord Freddie Windsor.

-OK, Freddie Windsor, we'll put him last.

Which is your least likely shot?

-The Duke of Kent.

-We'll put him first.

Let's pop up on the board in that order and here they come.

We have got...

There they are. Now, we were looking for people in the line of succession

who are not direct descendant of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duke of Kent was your least likely shot at a pointless answer, you felt.

Let's see if it's right.

You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £3,750.

Let's see, the Duke of Kent, is it right and how many said it?

It's right.

Let's see how far down it goes.

See how well people know the line of succession.

It's still going down.

If it goes to 0, you leave with £3,750.

-8!

-8!

-Wow.

There you are. Not a pointless answer,

but it's looking pretty good for your next answers.

Only eight people knew the Duke of Kent.

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. £3,750.

Kathy C, what would you do with it?

We're going to have swimming lessons.

OK, two Navy Wrens and you neither of you swim?

LAUGHTER

-No. It wasn't part of the criteria when we joined.

-OK.

I tell you what, I think at 3,750 quid,

these are going to be quite posh swimming lessons.

-A lot of hot chocolate at the end of them.

-BOTH: Yes.

We're looking for people in the line of succession

who are not direct descendants of the Queen.

Let's hope nobody said Lady Sarah Chatto.

This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

So, for £3,750,

let's see how many people said Lady Sarah Chatto.

It's absolutely right.

Well, the Duke of Kent took us down to 9.

Let's see how far Sarah Chatto can take us down.

Still going down.

Oh! 3 for Lady Sarah Chatto.

3 for Lady Sarah Chatto. It's all moving in the right direction.

You have one more chance to win the jackpot.

Everything is riding on Freddie Windsor.

We're looking for people in the line of succession who are not direct descendants of the Queen.

Your final answer, Lord Frederick Windsor, was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.

It has to be right, it has to be pointless

for you to win the jackpot of £3,750.

Lord Frederick Windsor. How many people said that?

Well, it's right.

So the Duke of Kent down to 9.

Lady Sarah Chatto down to 3.

Down it comes.

Oh, no!

APPLAUSE

One person!

We should have said his sister.

Do you remember his sister's name?

-Gabriella.

-Yeah, well, we'll find out. The big man will tell us.

Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

Oh, you came close.

I'm afraid you don't win the jackpot of £3,750, which will roll over

to the next show, but you have been brilliant contestants

and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.

APPLAUSE

-Gabriella Windsor.

-Yes, Gabriella Windsor,

the sister of Freddie.

-Pointless?

-Pointless answer.

AUDIENCE: Aw!

And you were talking about Lady Helen Windsor.

She became Lady Helen Taylor. And she was pointless, as well, I'm afraid.

Let's take a look at a few of the pointless answers.

You said Sarah Chatto.

Her son Arthur Chatto was a pointless answer.

Cassius Taylor is the son of Lady Helen Taylor, he was pointless

as were his siblings Estella, Columbus and Eloise.

The Earl of Ulster, son of the Duke of Gloucester, is a pointless answer.

Lyla Gilman, granddaughter of the Duke of Gloucester, is a pointless answer.

as was her mother, Rose. Samuel Chatto,

another son of Sarah Chatto.

The Honourable Margarita Armstrong-Jones,

Viscount Linley's daughter, was pointless.

The Lady Davina Lewis, there's Gabriella Windsor

and the Lady Helen Taylor at the end.

Very tough luck. You played so well throughout.

Very well done if you got those at home.

While you finish, I'll get the gift for the audience.

Ah. OK. Right, I'll wrap up.

Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Kathy R and Kathy C,

but it's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.

Great contestants.

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, Kathy R and Kathy C did not win our jackpot today.

-Ah!

-You like?

So it rolls over to the next show, which means, on the next show...

-Can I say, this is really heavy?

-Is it?

I'll be quick. That's beautiful.

Wow. On the next show we'll be playing for £4,750.

There it is. Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
