0:00:20 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the quiz show where the obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, welcome back, Jeff and Andy. You were on the show last time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final, of course.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This is your second chance. Now, Andy, how do you two know each other?
0:00:46 > 0:00:52We play golf at the same club and we're part of the same quiz team with our wives and partners.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Oh, are you? You kept that very quiet, about the quiz team, last time.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I thought it was best to.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- LAUGHTER - It all comes out now.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00How well have you done in the past, Jeff?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- We've won once or twice. - What's the name of your team? - Cally's Heroes.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- That's...- Because of my surname. - Which is...- Callaghan.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Callaghan, right you are. I see, Cally's Heroes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Well, if you're going to be heroes today, Andy,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15what's going to be the best subject to get you to the final?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Latin verbs with irregular conjugations.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21LAUGHTER
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Good, yeah.- You never know. - OK. Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26And possibly Status Quo.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29LAUGHTER
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Excellent. Jeff, what would be great for you, today?- Sport and Music.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Anything you'd particularly not like to see come up, Andy?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Science, I think. - Science. OK, very good.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's great to have you back, Jeff and Andy. You are our only returning pair, in fact,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47so let's hope we see a lot more of you than we did last time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Next we welcome Tom and Linda. Now, how do you to know each other?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, we met about 28 years ago through a mutual friend,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and have been married for 24 of them.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Wow! 28 years ago! You must have been seven or eight.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02LAUGHTER
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- 18.- Really? Wow! Where you from, Linda?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09We're actually from just outside Glasgow.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Tom, anything you'd particularly not like to see come up?- Sport.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Sport. Across the board? - Pretty much, yeah.- OK. Linda?
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Same for me - Sport and probably Words. I'm not so good at Words. Not so good at Words.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Right, OK. Yes, they sometimes do come up.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26LAUGHTER
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We use them in nearly all shows, don't we?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30LAUGHTER
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Very good, well,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35we'll have to see what Mr Osman's got planned for us,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38but very best of luck to you, Tom and Linda, is great to have you here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And next we welcome Paul and Martin. How do you to know each other?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We went to secondary school together,
0:02:43 > 0:02:48so we've known each other for 14 or 15 years, now.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- And where you from, Paul? - From Stoke, live and work in Stoke. North Staffordshire.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Excellent. And what are your hobbies, Paul?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I like doing a bit of writing, a bit of cooking.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02What sort of things do you write?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I keep a blog or two, sometimes write about cinemas and things like that,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09just anything that takes my fancy, really.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- So film and TV might be good? - Yeah, be happy with that, yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Just anything... The shirt, I've been told blue is the colour of success, so...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21That's why they have blue medals at the Olympics, isn't it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- LAUGHTER - Yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Bronze for third, silver - second, blue - first.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Colour of success, yeah? - Yeah, yeah. Martin,
0:03:29 > 0:03:30what would you like to see come up today?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Quotes from "The Rock," that'd be good. - So, what, the film, "The Rock?"
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- The film, "The Rock," yes.- Starring Sean Connery And Nicholas Cage, that one?- Yep, that's the one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42What's your favourite quote from "The Rock?"
0:03:42 > 0:03:45"With scissors, this man can kill you."
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- OK. - LAUGHTER
0:03:49 > 0:03:55There are lots of good things in "The Rock," but, dialogue?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Very good, well, if "The Rock" comes up...- Winner!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Winner! Well, very best of luck to you, Paul and Martin,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05it's great to have you here. And finally, we've got Shalini and Keir.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- How did you two know each other? - We're married.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:17You get to know people, I find, when you're married to them, yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Keir, how long have you been married? Why's that so funny?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Erm, for four years.- Four years? Many, many congratulations. - Thanks very much.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Shalini clearly thinks it's a joke. Where are you from, Shalini? - South London.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Keir, what would you like to see come up?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I studied politics and philosophy at uni, so a bit of that, bit of current affairs,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42basically anything that I know, or really don't know,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45but nothing that I've once known and forgotten, cos that's just really annoying.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48LAUGHTER
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Shalini, anything you'd particularly not like to see come up, today?
0:04:52 > 0:04:58- Animals, nature, the outside, generally.- OK, anything outside.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Very much an inside person. - OK, Keir, how about you?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Anything science-y, periodic table, anything like that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Welcome to the show, Shalini and Keir. Very, very best of luck.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Brave, handsome, swashbuckling - is there anything this man can't spell?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- It my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27APPLAUSE
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon. Have you...?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- You're sounding a bit cold-y, there. - I don't feel very well.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Got a bit of a cold.- Yeah, you... Got a bit of a cold.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm being cheered up by Round One, which I think is quite fun.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44And also cheered up by the fact that some people don't want science,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and there's plenty of that in the show.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53We're looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55To stay in the game and be in with a chance,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Now, what everyone's trying to do is to find a Pointless answer,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we had another £1,000 to that,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12so today's jackpot starts off at £7,000.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16APPLAUSE
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26APPLAUSE
0:06:26 > 0:06:30In this round, each of you must give one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42so try and avoid those if you can. OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44LAUGHTER
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- There you go, Linda, it's Words. It's Words.- Oh, dear!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:58 > 0:07:05We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending in '...PHONE.' As they could.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Words ending '...PHONE,' Richard.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Yes, any word in the Oxford English Dictionary that ends in '...PHONE.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:16As always, no hyphenated words and no proper nouns allowed.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18We also want allow the word PHONE itself.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Be careful of trademarks, we wouldn't allow things like DICTAPHONE, LINGUAPHONE, or STYLOPHONE.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Best of luck, and see how many you can get at home. Lots on the list.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- It's a very tough one, this, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34OK, thanks. Now then, Jeff and Andy, you all drew lots before the show,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and today you are going first again. You went first last time.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Jeff. Words ending '...PHONE.'
0:07:42 > 0:07:46OK, I'm going to go for the extremely obvious one,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'm going to go for TELEPHONE.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54OK. Why are you going for the extremely obvious one, Jeff?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Because I don't wish to get it wrong.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Oh, I see. OK, very good. TELEPHONE, says Jeff.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said TELEPHONE.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10ALEXANDER WHIMPERS
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, it's 14 better than wrong.
0:08:13 > 0:08:1686, that scores you, Jeff.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- 86, that is a punishing score, isn't it?- That's a lot.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22That obviously rang a bell with lots of our hundred.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND GROANS
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I'm ill, I am ill.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You don't need me to define TELEPHONE, I'm presuming.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- No.- Good.- Linda.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- OK.- Linda.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41Right. Well, the only other one that I can think of is XYLOPHONE.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44XYLOPHONE says Linda.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Let's see if XYLOPHONE's right, and if it is, let see how many people said it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50It's right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Look at that! Linda, 22!- Phew!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00APPLAUSE
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Very good indeed. 22 for XYLOPHONE.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, very good answer. Musical instrument, of course.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Martin. Now, remember, we are looking for words ending in '...PHONE.'
0:09:12 > 0:09:18It's tougher than it looks, isn't it? I'm going to try EPIPHONE.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Martin is saying EPIPHONE. let's see if that's right,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said EPIPHONE.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Ooh, bad luck, Martin.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Unfortunately EPIPHONE is an incorrect answer,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35which means you score 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Yes, sorry, Martin. A brand of guitar, EPIPHONE, but not a word in the dictionary.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43OK, thank you. Now then, Shalini.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I think I'll have to go for something quite obvious,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49although I've had so much time to think about it,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I still can't think of anything less obvious than MICROPHONE.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56MICROPHONE says Shalini. MICROPHONE. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- 30. - APPLAUSE
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Yeah, 30. Very good score, given the other scorers on the board. Well played. MICROPHONE.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18One of these, one of those. A tiny phone.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20LAUGHTER
0:10:20 > 0:10:23We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25The best score of the round, in fact, was Linda's.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Linda who said, "Please can I not have a Word round?"
0:10:28 > 0:10:3022, you scored, Linda, so you and Tom
0:10:30 > 0:10:33looking very strong indeed at this stage.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Then we go up to 30 where we find Shalini and Keir,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38up to 86 where we find Jeff and Andy,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39and then up to 100
0:10:39 > 0:10:43where Martin and Paul are sitting on the back of their EPIPHONE.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Now then, Paul. You're not way ahead. Jeff and Andy aren't that far behind you,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52but you are going to have to find a low scoring answer
0:10:52 > 0:10:54to make sure you're with us to the next round.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55We'll come back down the line.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Can the second players please take their places?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06OK, so we're looking for words ending in '...PHONE.' '...PHONE.'
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Keir, you're on 30, the high scorers are Paul and Martin on 100,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14that means a score of 69 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20I'm going to go to the opposite end of the scale to Shalini and say MEGAPHONE.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24MEGAPHONE. Right, here is your red line.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28If you get below that red line with MEGAPHONE, you are through to the next round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Let's see that right, and how many people said it. MEGAPHONE.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Absolutely right. Yeah, well done, you've done it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- 32. - APPLAUSE
0:11:41 > 0:11:4432 takes your total up to 62.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Richard.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Yeah, another good answer, and safely through, so very well played as a team.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54We know what it means now, it used to be a hearing trumpet, used to be a MEGAPHONE.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Now it's like a funnel-shaped device you use to amplify your voice.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Paul.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05I'm going to go for, HOMOPHONE.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- HOMOPHONE. SOUNDS LIKE a good answer to me.- Hopefully.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14HOMOPHONE. OK, you are on 100, you are the high scorers, so there's no red line for you,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16you just have to hope this goes down as far as it can.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18HOMOPHONE. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It's absolutely right.
0:12:27 > 0:12:288!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31APPLAUSE
0:12:31 > 0:12:348 for HOMOPHONE. Best score of the round so far, Paul.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Well done. Richard. - Very good answer, Paul. Well played.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Having the same sound as, particularly words which have the same sound. Hence your...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- What did you say?- I said, "SOUNDS LIKE a good answer to me."
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Yep, good.- Voluble support, there. Thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Yeah, some acclamation for you. - Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Now then, Tom.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54You are on 22.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58The high scorers on 108 are Paul and Martin.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01If you can score 85 or less, you are into the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05OK, Well, I'm going to go for the opposite of HOMOPHONE,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I hope, and say ANTIPHONE.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10ANTIPHONE. ANTIPHONE, says Tom.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Sounds great to me. OK, here's your red line, Tom. Nice and high.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Let's see if ANTIPHONE can get you below that red line.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Is it right, ANTIPHONE, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It's right, and you are through to the next round.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Look at that! Very, very well done indeed, Tom.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:13:33 > 0:13:37That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40takes the total up to £7,250.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It scores you nothing, and it leaves your total
0:13:43 > 0:13:45at a lovely, low 22 points. Well done.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm going to say a bit well done, Tom.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Remind me again what ANTIPHONE is.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51HE LAUGHS
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I thought it might be the opposite of a HOMOPHONE, but I'm guessing not.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You guessed right.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It's actually an alternative spelling of ANTIPHON,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02which is when one choir sings a sentence in response to another one.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- ANTIPHONAL singing, that's it. - Yeah.- Good.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08There we go. Andy, we come to you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So remember, we're looking for words ending in '...PHONE.'
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Now then, you're on 86,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15the high scorers on 108 are Paul and Martin.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19This means there are 21 points in it, Andy,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20you have to score 21 or less
0:14:20 > 0:14:23to see yourselves through to the next round. Come on!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I hope it's not a brand. I'm going to say VIBRAPHONE.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29VIBRAPHONE.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Well, XYLOPHONE scored 22.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36VIBRAPHONE, you are hoping is going to score 21 or less. Let's see. VIBRAPHONE.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Is it right, how many people said it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42It's right!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48You've done it!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh, very well done indeed!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52APPLAUSE
0:14:52 > 0:14:59It's a pointless answer, which adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01takes the total up to £7,500.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It scores you nothing, it leaves your total
0:15:04 > 0:15:06at an immaculate 86. Very well done indeed. Richard.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Yeah, very well played.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12VIBRAPHONE, arranged like a xylophone, but with a vibrato effect.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers. See if you got any of these at home.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Cardphone, simply a public telephone that you can use a card in.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Freephone, as in freephone number. Heckelphone.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Do you know what a heckelphone is? I thought you might. It's a baritone oboe.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Really?- You're an oboist. - I do, I was an oboist, yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36So, a cor anglais is like an alto oboe, so a heckelphone is a baritone oboe.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40If you say so. Let's take a look at a couple more.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Lagerphone, which is a...
0:15:43 > 0:15:47LAUGHTER It will surprise you to learn is an Australian word.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It's essentially a name for a long pole with a lager or beer bottle
0:15:50 > 0:15:54on the end which is shaken as a percussion instrument. I kid you not.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Magnetophone, another instrument. Monophone, which is an animal version of monosyllable.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59It's one animal sound.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Sarrusophone, satphone as in a satellite phone,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06and of course, why did no-one say sphygmophone?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Which is of course a medical instrument by which
0:16:09 > 0:16:11pulsations are rendered audible.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- But I don't need to tell you that. - No, no.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Let's take a look at the top answers.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18These are the ones most of our 100 people said. We've already heard them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Shalini, you gave us microphone for 30.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Keir gave us megaphone for 32, although they're safety through,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and right at the top, we had from Jeff, telephone.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31It seems like a long time ago you started this round with telephone.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And to think you're still here! What a day we're seeing.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40So, at the end of the first round, the losing pair with
0:16:40 > 0:16:44the highest score, I'm afraid it's Paul and Martin.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It was the Epiphone. It's a guitar.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- It's a brand of guitar, yeah. - Right, OK. Oh, dear.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- Do you play the guitar?- Yeah.- Do you have an Epiphone?- I had, yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Not any more.- Oh, dear. I'm so sorry we've to say goodbye to you now,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04but we'll see you again next time.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Stick with the blue, though, Paul. I think...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I think your answer homophone was very successful. There we are.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16We look forward to seeing you next time, Paul and Martin,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18great contestants. Thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32There's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36so one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40On the strength of that first round, I have to say, Tom and Linda, you'd seem to be the pair to beat.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44A lovely low score from you there. But as we know, anything can happen.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I seem to remember Richard saying this was science,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49but we'll see.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51The category for Round Two is:
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Science! He was absolutely right.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10OK, so our question concerns units of measurement.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Units of measurement. Linda, you're not fooling me with that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I'm racking my brain this very moment thinking of all the science
0:18:18 > 0:18:22lessons but I was sitting back of the class not really listening to.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Good luck. Richard, units of measurement.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28OK, we're going to show you six abbreviations for units of measurement.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31We'll also show you what it is they measure.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33You have to tell us the name of that unit, please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. But an incorrect answer will be 100 points.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, 12 abbreviations. At home, see how many you can get.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Very best of luck.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48OK, so, we are looking for the unit of measurement
0:18:48 > 0:18:50indicated by these initials, and we have got:
0:18:52 > 0:18:58F, electric capacitance. Pa, pressure or stress. H, inductance.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Kg, mass. N, force.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And Hz, frequency.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I'll read those all one more time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Jeff, units of scientific measurement.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- I am going to go for the top one, the farad.- The farad, OK.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29OK, the farad. Unit of electric capacitance. Is that right?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32If it is, how many people knew that answer?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It's absolutely right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Very, very well done, Jeff. That's a great answer. 7.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52A very good answer, Jeff, well played. Named after Michael Faraday.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Now, then, Linda.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Well, there are some of them I've never even heard of before.
0:19:59 > 0:20:08- So I think, I'm hoping that the N for force is for Newton?- Newton.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13You're saying the N for force, the unit of measurement of force, the Newton.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Let's see if it's right, and how many people said the Newton.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It's right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Very well done, 25.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Not bad at all. Richard? - Yes, very well played.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I thought this round would cause chaos,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38but we're doing rather well so far. Named after Sir Isaac Newton.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Keir, you're the last person to have this board.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44If you want, you can talk us through all of it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Oh that I could, Alexander. Science is very much not my thing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54There's only one there that I know for certain, but given
0:20:54 > 0:21:00the scores that we've had so far, I'm not going to say kg, kilograms.
0:21:00 > 0:21:07And I'll go for Hz, Hertz, hoping that it's both right and slightly less than kilograms.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11OK, Hertz, you're saying, for frequency.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Hertz?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It's right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23And that Hertz!
0:21:23 > 0:21:24AUDIENCE GROANS
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- And it scores you 79. Richard? - Yeah, a very big score.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You're quite right, though, Keir, actually it was better than
0:21:32 > 0:21:37if you'd said kilograms, because that would have scored you 89 points.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Let's take a look at the other two. Do you know that one?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Pa, pressure or stress? It's the Pascal. That would have scored 14.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45H for inductance is the best answer on the board.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Very well done at home if you said the Henry.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52It would have scored you five points.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I just think that's hilarious. Something measured in Henrys?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Seven and a half Henrys.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Seven and a half Henrys, that was the length of the Tudor period.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03LAUGHTER
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Very good indeed. OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's see the scores. Jeff, that was an amazing pass for you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Seven, the lowest score, absolutely fantastic.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15It's put you in a strong position.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Then we come up to 25, where we find Linda and Tom.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And then quite a long hike up to 79, where we find Keir and Shalini.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So, Shalini, try and find a really nice, obscure, low-scoring answer,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and hope that that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Very best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38OK, we're going to put six more initials on the board.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42These all stand for units of measurement, remember, and here they are.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46S, time. W, power. M, length.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Cd, luminous intensity, K, thermodynamic temperature
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and S, electric conductance.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I'll read those one final time.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55S, time. W, power. M, length.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Cd, luminous intensity, K, thermodynamic temperature
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and S, electric conductance.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Now you are looking for the units of measurement
0:23:02 > 0:23:05represented by those initials, and as ever,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07you want the one that fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Shalini. You are the high scorers and 79.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14We need a lovely low-scoring, obscure answer from you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15OK.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It is a frightening board, but given where we are,
0:23:18 > 0:23:26I'd better have an educated guess and go for K, Kelvin?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28K, Kelvin. Thermodynamic temperature.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29K, Kelvin, that's a guess?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33OK, well, let's hope it's a good guess,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and a nice low-scoring one, too.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Is that right? How many people said it?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No red line because you are the high scorers.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Well done, it's right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:5128!
0:23:54 > 0:23:5928, not bad. It takes you up to 107. Is that enough to keep you in the game, I wonder. Richard?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Well played, Shalini. Named after William Thompson, who was Baron Kelvin.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- He was a Glasgow University engineer. - Now, then, Tom.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09The high scorers on 107 are Shalini and Keir. You're on 25.
0:24:09 > 0:24:1281 is your target score.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18Remember, we're looking at units of measurement indicated by these initials.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, I'm hoping my memory serves me well back to my uni days.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- I think that cd, luminous intensity, is candelas.- Candelas.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Candela, yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Candela, OK. Cd in luminous intensity, candela.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Now, there is your red line, nice and high.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Candela for luminous intensity.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Is it right, and how many people said it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Absolutely right, and you're through, well done.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oh, it's a great answer, Tom!
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- Candela takes your total up to 30. - Very well played, Tom.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04A common candle emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly one candela.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09That's what it's named after, as you can imagine. The clue's right there.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Absolutely there. Now, then, Andy. You're on seven.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16The high scorers on 107 are Keir and Shalini,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20which means a score of 99 or less from you will see you into the head-to-head.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Fill in all the blanks on the board, if you like.- I wish I could.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I think the first one at the top, second, time. Watt, power.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Metre, length.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34And the one at the bottom, electric conductance, I really don't know.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- So I am going to play W, watt, power.- W, watt, for power.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44OK, here's your red line. It couldn't be higher.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Let's see if you can get below it with watt, power.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Is it right, and how many people said it?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Done it!
0:25:54 > 0:25:5659.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- That takes your total up to 66. - Yes. Watt's your answer, Andy?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08There we go. Named after James Watt. There you go. I'll give you that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15S is a second, and that would have scored you 82 points.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20M is metre. That would have scored you 85 points, even more.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- And do you have any idea of S for electric conductance? - None idea.- Siemens.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The best answer on the board, would have scored you two.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Well done anyone who got all 12, very impressive.- Wow.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Very impressive indeed.- Would you like me to define what a second is?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Yes.- Would you indulge me and let me read it from a bit of paper?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- I'd be delighted.- Since 1967, this has been the definition of a second.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49It's 9,192,631,770 periods
0:26:49 > 0:26:53of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels
0:26:53 > 0:26:55of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Wow.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I'm going to have that as my ring tone now.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08That's amazing.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11You'll never say "just a second" so casually again.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Never. Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.- My pleasure.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm afraid it's Shalini and Keir.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Oh, dear. Hertz, frequency.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29And Keir, I give you this, you did say Science was going to be tough for you.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- As advertised. - Absolutely as advertised.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35We'll see you again next time, and we look forward to that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Thank you very much meanwhile for playing. Great contestants, Shalini and Keir.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43For the remaining pairs, things are about to get
0:27:43 > 0:27:45even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, congratulations, Tom and Linda, Jeff and Andy.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57You're now only one round away from the final
0:27:57 > 0:28:02and a chance to place our jackpot, which currently stands at £7,500.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Now, obviously only one pair can play for that money, so to decide who it's going to be,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12you go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17That basically means the first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The good news is you're now allowed to confer.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Well, Tom and Linda, you've been consistently the low scorers.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Round One and Two, you came through the low scorers.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29But, Jeff and Andy, we had a couple of high scores from you,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Jeff, and Andy, you've come through each time and just got yourselves through.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35But you're all now allowed to confer,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38so anything could happen in this third round.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47OK, here comes your first question.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51And it concerns Mushrooms and Edible Fungi.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Mushrooms and Edible Fungi. Are you not happy with this, Tom? Richard?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Mm...- Richard. - Only on Pointless.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05We're about to show you five pictures of mushrooms or edible fungi.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Can you tell us what they are, please? Very best of luck.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Yep. OK, let's reveal our five pictures of mushrooms or edible fungi,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14and here they come.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15We've got:
0:29:27 > 0:29:32So, there we have it. Five pictures of mushrooms or edible fungi.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Now, Tom and Linda, you played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40OK.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49We'll go for B as girolle.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54B, girolle. B, girolle.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Jeff and Andy, you can talk through the rest of those fungi if you like.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04D is a truffle. C looks like a lobotomy.
0:30:09 > 0:30:16- A, I would probably eat. We'll go D, truffle.- D, truffle.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19So, Tom and Linda have said B, girolle.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22And Jeff and Andy have said D, truffle.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24OK, in the order they were given,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Tom and Linda have said B is a girolle.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Let's see if that's right,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Oh, bad luck!
0:30:35 > 0:30:36I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Jeff and Andy, all you have to be at this stage is correct
0:30:39 > 0:30:42with your answer of D, truffle.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Is it right?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48It is right. You've done it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:5241 for truffle.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Affer the first question, Jeff and Andy, you're up 1-0.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Richard?- Highly prized, can reach thousands of pounds per kilogram.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- Tom and Linda, did you have any ideas for the other ones?- E for oyster.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Yes, E for oyster mushroom would have scored you 14 points, as well.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13But B is actually morel,
0:31:13 > 0:31:18and would score three points. Any idea on A?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- It's a giant puffball.- I was thinking it looked like a puffball.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28It would have scored you 13. And C is a pointless answer.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31It's a maitake mushroom from Japan.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- So anyone who said maitake at home, very well done.- Thanks, Richard.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Here's your second question, and Tom and Linda, you need to win this
0:31:39 > 0:31:40to stay in the game.
0:31:40 > 0:31:47It concerns films with a creature of the Chinese zodiac in their title.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Films with a creature of the Chinese Zodiac in their title. Richard?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Simpler than it sounds, don't panic. We're just about to show you five film titles on the board.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Each of them have got one word missing.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59The word missing is a creature from the Chinese zodiac.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Can you fill in the gaps and choose the best answer?
0:32:03 > 0:32:09Thanks, Richard. OK, let's reveal our five films with missing words, and here they come.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27OK, I will read them one more time.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37So, there you are.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Five films with missing words,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and the missing words in each case, an animal from the Chinese zodiac.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Jeff and Andy, you go first this time.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55We'll go with the top one, Dog Soldiers.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Dog Solders, 2002.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Dog Soldiers say Jeff and Andy. Now, then, Tom and Linda,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04talk through the rest of the board.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, I'm pretty sure it's A Man Called Horse.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11I'm guessing Rabbit Eyes, but I'm not sure.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Enter The Dragon, and Linda thinks Tiger Bay.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18But I think we'll go for A Man Called Horse.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20OK, you're going for A Man Called Horse.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I need hardly remind you you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26A Man Called Horse. So, we have Dog Soldiers and A Man Called Horse.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Jeff and Andy went first with Dog Soldiers.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Let's see if that's right, and how many people knew it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4539. 39 for Dog Soldiers.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Tom and Linda, what do you think? - It's a bit tough.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52OK, A Man Called Horse, is it right, and how many people said it?
0:33:55 > 0:33:56It's right.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh, bad luck. 50 for A Man Called Horse.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Which means that after only two questions, Jeff and Andy,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10you're through to the final 2-0.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Very well done. Richard? - Unlucky, Tom and Linda.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17If you had said Tiger Bay for the bottom one, you'd have been right,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19and you'd have won the point again.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It would have scored 27 points.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25If you had said oyster mushroom and Tiger Bay, you'd be in the final.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Unlucky. Let's look at the rest.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31If you'd said Rabbit Eyes, you'd have just scored 100 points,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33because it's Snake Eyes.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34That would have scored you 20.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38And Enter The Dragon, quite right, but you might well have got it wrong,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42because it would have scored you 94 points. 94.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Tom and Linda.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52As Richard has spelt out,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55you could easily be going through to the final 2-0 at this stage.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- Oh, dear.- Never mind.- Well, listen, in your first Pointless,
0:35:00 > 0:35:05you're allowed to do that. Second time, you have to go for those answers at the back of your head
0:35:05 > 0:35:07you're not sure about. As long as it's not Rabbit Eyes.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- No. - LAUGHTER
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Although, I would like to see that film.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16We look forward to seeing you next time, Tom and Linda. Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:21But, for Jeff and Andy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Congratulations, Jeff and Andy,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30you have fought off all the competition
0:35:30 > 0:35:33and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £7,500.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:35:48 > 0:35:51APPLAUSE
0:35:51 > 0:35:54You're our returning pair, and you've come through beautifully.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58You saw off our low scorers in that head-to-head round so easily, there.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Lovely 2-0.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04And we've had a pointless answer from you as well, Andy, in the early stages.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08It's been an exemplary return performance, so very, very well done.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15We've had two pointless answers on the show today, as I said.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17One from you earlier for "vibraphone."
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You only have to find one more pointless answer, now, and you will go home with that money.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- Firstly, you've got to choose a category, and you can choose from these five options.- They are -
0:36:32 > 0:36:37- QUIETLY:- Thriller Writers? Winter Olympics?- Let's go with that.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Yeah, we said Sport was our strong point, so we'll go Winter Olympics, please.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Winter Olympics. OK, very good. Here comes your question.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Team GB Winter Olympic medallists as they could.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Richard. - We're looking for any members
0:36:53 > 0:36:56of a Great British or Northern Irish Winter Olympic team
0:36:56 > 0:36:59from 1948 all the way through to 2010
0:36:59 > 0:37:01who's won a medal in any Winter Olympics.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04That can be for an individual event or a team event.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09The name of any individual who's won a Winter Olympic medal, please. Very best of luck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13OK, thanks very much, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:13 > 0:37:18and all you need to win that £7,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Are you ready?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- QUIETLY:- Nash and Dixon, they're up. - Yeah, that'd be a good one.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Torvill and Dean's far too obvious. - There's Robin Cousins.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- John Curry?- Yeah, yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Don't think Bell's...
0:37:38 > 0:37:44- What about the lass who's just won the, erm, skeleton.- Yeah.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Remembering her name. - What's she called?
0:37:46 > 0:37:53- It's very recent, cos she's just won world championship.- Yeah, yeah. - She just won it. Can't remember.
0:37:53 > 0:38:00- Start going backwards, then. - Further back than that... I can't think much further than that.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Figure skating. Skiing.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Curling.- The curler, the Scotland curling team.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Don't know any of the names on that, so...
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- We got to go with the best option, Nash and Dixon, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Ten seconds left.- Robin Cousins. - Yeah.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- OK.- OK, we have three answers.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26We were looking for Team GB Winter Olympic Medallists.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I now need those three answers from you.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- John Curry.- John Curry.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Colin Nash.- Colin Nash. - And Robin Dixon.- And Robin Dixon.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40OK, of those three answers, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Nash.- Colin Nash. - We'll put Colin Nash last.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- Which is your least likely to be pointless?- Curry?- Yeah.- John Curry. - OK, John Curry we'll put first.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52We'll pop them on the board in that order.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57We have got John Curry, Robin Dixon and Colin Nash.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59There are your three answers.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01So we were looking for Team GB Winter Olympic Medallists.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05John Curry, you said, was your least confident answer.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that jackpot of £7,500. OK, let's see.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Is John Curry right, how many people said it? John Curry.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19It's right.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It's right. Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26you leave here immediately with £7,500.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Down it goes, still going down. Into single figures.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Wow! 4 for John Curry!
0:39:31 > 0:39:34APPLAUSE
0:39:37 > 0:39:43Wow - not a pointless answer, but quite a reassuring result, though, don't you think? 4 for John curry.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Looking very good for your subsequent two answers.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48OK, only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49What would you do with £7,500, Jeff?
0:39:51 > 0:39:56Probably have a very, very nice holiday, pay for the weekend we just had in London.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59LAUGHTER
0:40:00 > 0:40:03And frivolously think about the rest of it.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Very good indeed. Andy, how about you?
0:40:05 > 0:40:11I've been married 35 years in November, so it would be a very nice anniversary holiday.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Very good. Many congratulations.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15OK, let's hope one of your two remaining answers
0:40:15 > 0:40:16will get those things for you.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19We are looking for Team GB Winter Olympic Medallists.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's hope nobody said your next answer - Robin Dixon.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25This has to be right, and it has to be pointless.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28If it's both of those things, you leave here with £7,500.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Best of luck. Let's see. Robin Dixon. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:40:36 > 0:40:41It's right. So, John Curry came down to 4.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Robin Dixon, still going down.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave here with £7,500.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Down it goes, still going!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Yes! You've done it!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Very, very, very well done. That's brilliant, superb.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh, good stuff!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Very, very well done.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Robin Dixon was a pointless answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:14Which means, Jeff and Andy, you will be leaving here with our jackpot of £7,500.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:18 > 0:41:20That's how you do it.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Richard, how about that?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Very well played, guys, that's terrific.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Of course, won the bobsleigh, Nash and Dixon, in 1964.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Do you know what Colin Nash would've scored you?
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Erm...
0:41:30 > 0:41:32100, cos it's TONY Nash.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34AUDIENCE GASPS
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Lucky Robin Dixon came good for you,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39cos that would've been an awful way to lose, wouldn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It's terrific knowledge. Very well played.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Let's take a look at some of the other Pointless answers,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45see if you got any of these at home.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Alex Coomber who won the bronze in the skeleton in 2002.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51She was pointless.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Deborah Knox and Fiona MacDonald, both won curling gold.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55They were pointless.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58As were Janice Rankin and Margaret Morton, two other members of that team.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04Jeanette Altwegg, who won the gold for figure skating in 1952, she was pointless.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06There's Robin Dixon and Tony Nash.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Forever known as COLIN Nash, now, to his friends and family.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13And Shelley Rudman, who won a silver in the skeleton, as well.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19Also, all four members of the 1998 four-man bob team were pointless, and Nicky Gooch, and John Crammond.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Very well done if you said those at home.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Well done to you, guys. Played brilliantly.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Who would have thought, when you said "telephone" 45 minutes ago that we'd be here?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29LAUGHTER
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- I'll be able to ring someone up, now. - LAUGHTER
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Thanks once again to our winning players, Jeff and Andy, who go away with today's jackpot of £7,500.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Cally's Heroes.
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 > 0:42:55- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye! - APPLAUSE
