0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27where the obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:27 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Welcome back, Tom and Linda. You were on the show last time.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Everyone gets two chances to reach the final
0:00:40 > 0:00:41and this is your last chance.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Tom, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, we met through a mutual friend about 28 years ago,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and have been married for 24 of them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53You must have married at the age of about seven! Extraordinary!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57That's what I keep telling people, but they don't believe me somehow.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Linda, what happened last time?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We went through to the head-to-head, erm...mushrooms.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Mushrooms, oyster mushrooms. If only you'd said that.- Uh-huh.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Then we had films with Chinese Zodiac creatures in the title.- Yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You should have waltzed through. Never mind.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15You're back today, this is the good news.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Tom, what are you hoping's going to come up?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19A bit of science again, hopefully.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Astronomy and maybe some film, some nature.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Linda, what would you like to see come up?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Well, I also like nature but I was maybe thinking of Neighbours.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Richard's neighbours.- Neighbours. - Well, the Australian programme.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yeah, yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37That'd be quite good cos it's the only soap that I watch.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, Tom and Linda, very best of luck.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's great to have you back on the show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Next, we welcome Grant and Andy. How do you two know each other.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, Andy, when I moved to Ayr, Andy already lived there,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and his dad was fitting a kitchen in my grandparents' flat,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and I was sort of just walking around being six at the time,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57so we arranged to meet up
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and our families have been friends ever since.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Very good indeed, and you're still living in Ayr?
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- Still living in Ayr, yes.- Walking on Ayr. Breathing Ayr.- All the time.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now Grant, what would you like to see come up today?
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Ideally football. Possibly Scottish football. Anything football, really.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Sport, films, music.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Andy, what would you like to see come up?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Er, football again, to be honest.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Anything else, Andy? Football...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Geography, as well.- Geography, good.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30UK geography? World geography? European geography?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32European, maybe America as well.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Anything you'd not like to see come up today, Andy?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39History, science, mostly just the intelligent subjects
0:02:39 > 0:02:41that I'm not that great at.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK, well, we'll see what happens in the show.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Very warm welcome to the pair of you to Pointless.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Next, we welcome back Paul and Martin.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50You were also on the show last time.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Remind us how you know each other, Martin.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We met at secondary school,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58so we've known each other for about 15 years now.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And, Paul, what happened last time?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Erm, we had to come up with words ending in P-H-O-N-E,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and yeah, brands of guitar weren't allowed.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10That scored you 100 points.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13That saw you off in the first round. Very unlucky, though.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Paul, what are you hoping's going to come up today?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Bit of geography would be nice, bit of sport.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I'm into most sports so...watching, not playing!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Martin, what would you like to see come up?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Erm, brands of guitar would be...would be pretty good.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, I can think of one right now.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- And it owes you a favour.- It does.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Erm, films, well-known console games, not words.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Not words, we've done words surely. - Anything but words.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Surely that's words done for the next few Pointlesses.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52And finally, welcome back Shalini and Keir.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You were also on the show, it's like a reunion, isn't it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Three returning pairs, it's fantastic. You were on last time.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Remind us how you know each other, Keir.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We've known each other for ten years, we met at law school
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and we've been married for four years now.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- How far did you get last time, Shalini?- Second round.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Science did for us.- Oh, Lord, yes. Well, you didn't do badly.- Yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17There was units of measurement. What would be good for you today, Keir?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19What would you like to see?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Bit of history, world geography,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Saturday morning telly, maybe.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26It's the best telly.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29That's a cracking category right there, Saturday morning telly.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Current Saturday morning telly, not 1980s...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, not Live & Kicking, you mean. OK.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Shalini, d'you ever watch Pointless and think,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42"Ooh, that's my favourite round. I would love a round like that?"
0:04:42 > 0:04:46US TV shows - great. R&B would be really good.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Favourite R&B artist? - Erm, Beyonce.- Excellent.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's lovely to have you back, Shalini and Keir.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Very best of luck to you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01At the self-service checkout of obscurity,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04he's got a few unexpected items in his bagging area.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Hi, everybody.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Now then...- Hello.- Good afternoon.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now last time, you were in the throes of a bad cold, Richard.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yeah, I still have a slight cold,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24but you know, I'm going to soldier through. I'm on less medication.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Last time I was heavily sedated. - I'm going to say that's a shame.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30As far as I'm aware, we've got three returning pairs.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Tom and Linda, genuinely last time were terrific, weren't they?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37They won both the first two rounds, and in the head-to-head,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38if they'd gone with their instinct,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40they would have won and got through to the final.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43So, they are the pair to watch, I suspect.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But Andy and Paul have both asked for geography,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49and the first round is geography. It'll be very good for them.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54So should be a cracker of a show. I look forward to watching it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- OK.- I'm still, you know, I sound ill, but now...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- OK, well, welcome back. - Ah, thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Thanks, Richard. As ever, all our questions
0:06:04 > 0:06:07have been asked to 100 people before the show,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09but we are looking for obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer
0:06:18 > 0:06:20that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Jeff and Andy won the jackpot last time,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38In this first round,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Whichever pair has the highest score
0:06:43 > 0:06:45at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49An incorrect answer will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Do try and avoid those. OK, our first category today is...
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Can you decide in your pairs
0:06:56 > 0:06:59who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Let's find out what that question is.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16..as they could.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17We're looking for any country
0:07:17 > 0:07:20whose common English name contains the letter Y, please.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state that is
0:07:23 > 0:07:25a member of the UN in its own right at the beginning of 2012.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Very best of luck.- Thanks, Richard. Now, Tom and Linda.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34You all drew lots before the show, and today you are going first.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38The only one that I can think of is probably going to be
0:07:38 > 0:07:42quite a high point answer, but I think I'm going to go for Yemen.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47The Yemen, says Linda. Yemen. Let's see if that's right
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and if it is, let's see how many people said Yemen.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It's right.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Not too bad, Linda. Look at that, 25.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01APPLAUSE
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Seems pretty good to me for the Yemen.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yes. Tough being on that first podium, having to think quick.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09But a good answer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Andy.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The only one I can really think of is quite obvious
0:08:13 > 0:08:17so it's going to be high, but Yugoslavia.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Yugoslavia, says Andy. Let's see if that's right
0:08:20 > 0:08:23and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Yugoslavia.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Oh, bad luck, Andy. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:08:30 > 0:08:34which means you score 100 points, I'm sorry to say. Richard.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Sorry, Andy. Ceased being a country
0:08:35 > 0:08:39about the same time that you met Grant in your grandparents' kitchen.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Paul.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46A country with a Y in it. A nice obscure one.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm going to say Ivory Coast, cos I presume,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55cos I know it's known as Cote d'Ivoire as well,
0:08:55 > 0:08:56but I'll go for Ivory Coast.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ivory Coast. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Absolutely right.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Ah, that's a fabulous answer, Paul! Very, very well done.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's pointless, it adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Takes the total up to £1,250.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It scores you nothing. Ivory Coast.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24There's something in that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You're right, it's officially known as Cote d'Ivoire,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29but we're looking for common English names.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Ivory Coast, terrific answer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Very well done, indeed. Now then, Shalini.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39We are looking for countries with a Y in their name.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I'm going to try...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- ..Kyrgyzstan? - Kyrgyzstan, you are going to try.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Kyrgyzstan.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52let's see how many of our 100 people said Kyrgyzstan.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It's right.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Ohh!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Very, very well done.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09One point for Kyrgyzstan.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- One point. Richard.- Well played.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It's got two Ys in it. How about that?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Oh, so it has.- Half a point each.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21so let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Paul and Martin, looking extremely strong
0:10:23 > 0:10:27after that spectacular pointless answer from Paul.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Then we go up to one,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31where we find Shalini and Keir, also looking very strong indeed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Up to 25, where we find Linda and Tom, looking very safe.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And I'm sorry, Andy and Grant.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41That was a punishing score there, Andy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42But who knows, Grant?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Anything could happen in the next pass, and all we need from you
0:10:45 > 0:10:47is a lovely obscure answer,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and maybe that'll be enough to keep you in the game.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59OK, remember we are looking for countries with a Y in their name.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Now, Keir, the high scorers are Grant and Andy on 100, you're on 1,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06which means a score of 98 or less
0:11:06 > 0:11:08will see you comfortably through to the next round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Hmm, and on that basis,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm going to go fairly safe
0:11:14 > 0:11:17and say Paraguay.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Paraguay, says Keir. Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Paraguay. How many people said it?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29It's right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:3610.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Very well done. 10 takes your total up to 11.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well played, Keir. Terrific answer, Paraguay.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47World's largest exporter of hydro-electric power.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Paraguay, not Keir.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Oh, right! Wow.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Martin. The high scorers on 100 points
0:11:57 > 0:11:59remain Grant and Andy. You're on nothing,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02after Paul's excellent answer in the first pass.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05That means a score of 99 or less will see you
0:12:05 > 0:12:07straight through to the next round.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'd love to try and go
0:12:08 > 0:12:13as obscure as possible, but I'm struggling to think of...
0:12:14 > 0:12:18..anything that good, really, so I'll try Malaysia.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Malaysia, says Martin. Here is your red line, nice and high again.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25If you can get below that red line with Malaysia,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28you're through to the next round. Good luck.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31You've done it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Seven for Malaysia.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Takes your total up to seven. Richard.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well played, Martin. Did exactly what you needed to do.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50The capital is Kuala Lumpur, which means "muddy estuary" in Malay.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Wow.- Don't know about that as a name for a capital, do you?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I'm not so sure about that. Now then, Grant. 100 points.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02What we need from you is a really good low-scoring answer.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Maybe even a pointless one.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Erm, yeah, there's a few,
0:13:05 > 0:13:11but the one that I think I've got the most faith in, Syria.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Syria. OK, Syria says Grant. Let's see if that's right
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19There's no red line for you because you're the highest scorers.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23It's correct.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Eight. Not bad at all. Eight.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Takes your total up to 108.- Yeah, well played, Grant, good answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40The long-form official name is the Syrian Arab Republic.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Tom and Linda are on 25.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48The high scorers on 108 are Grant and Andy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51A score of 82 or less will see you into the next round.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Tom.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56OK, well, I can think of a few, but I'm hoping
0:13:56 > 0:14:00that Guyana is enough to see us through.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Guyana, says Tom. Here is your red line.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06You get below that red line, you are through. Guyana.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07How many people said it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's right, and you are through.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24One point for Guyana takes your total up to 26.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well done, you're through to the next round. Richard.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well played, Tom. Guyana means "land of water,"
0:14:29 > 0:14:31which, if you're watching, Malaysia,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34is a much nicer way of saying "muddy estuary."
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Let's look at the pointless answers. Andy, you said Yugoslavia.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The only other pointless answer out there
0:14:39 > 0:14:41is the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45There's Ivory Coast, we've seen that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Other low scorers you could have gone for,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Guyana, Seychelles, Cyprus, Uruguay, Kenya, Norway.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58There's Yemen on 25, that's the third highest of all,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02that's what Linda gave us. Italy, 39. What d'you think's top of the board?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- Germany.- Germany, as so often, would have scored you 42 points.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12At the end of that round, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:12 > 0:15:17I'm afraid, Grant and Andy, it's you. Yugoslavia.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Anyway, we will see you again next time, Grant and Andy,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23when I'm sure you'll go further. But thank you very much for playing.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25It's great to have you on the show.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40so one of the teams in front of me now will be leaving us
0:15:40 > 0:15:43at the end of this round. OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:15:46 > 0:15:47It's People.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59OK, so our question concerns...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06People who share the same name. Richard.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08On each pass we're going to give you clues to pairs of people
0:16:08 > 0:16:11who share the same name. You need to give us that name.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13First name and surname.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18A wrong answer will score you 100 points.
0:16:18 > 0:16:2012 sets of clues in all, here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- 12 people who share exactly the same name. It's good, this round.- Mmm.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28If I said "19th century Arctic explorer,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31"and host of Pointless," the answer would be Alexander Armstrong.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Absolutely right. - That's not up there, though.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39We are looking for the names which are shared by these people,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42described by these clues. And we have got...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I'll read those all one more time.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25There we are.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Six people who share the same name.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Linda, can you provide the name
0:17:31 > 0:17:34of the most obscure person on that board that you know?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Er, there's only one that I actually know
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and it's probably going to be the most common one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Erm...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Wife of Henry VIII and the '70s Bond girl actress,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49I'm hoping is Anne Boleyn.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Anne Boleyn. Let's see if that's right
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Ohh, bad luck, Linda. I'm sorry.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04That's an incorrect answer. That means you score 100 points.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Richard.- Yeah sorry, Linda. She was married to Henry VIII,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11but I don't recall her
0:18:11 > 0:18:13being in a Bond film.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Remember, we are looking for
0:18:15 > 0:18:17the names shared by these pairs of people.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Paul.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I think I know probably four of them.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I don't know which one's going to be the most obscure.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'll go for the Queen drummer
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and Duran Duran drummer as being Roger Taylor.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Roger Taylor, the name shared by Queen's drummer
0:18:35 > 0:18:37and Duran Duran's drummer. Let's see if that's right
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Wow, 30.
0:18:49 > 0:18:5030 points.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Pretty big score that, isn't it, for the two Roger Taylors?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59There used to be three Taylors in Duran Duran. Still is, occasionally.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- John and Andy Taylor. - That's right. Thanks very much.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Now then, Keir.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05There's that board. That board is all yours.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I think the wife of Henry VIII
0:19:07 > 0:19:11and the '70s Bond girl actress was Jane Seymour,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15and I think the Dragon and Godfather actor is James Caan.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20And I'm going to go for Wife of Henry VIII / '70s Bond girl
0:19:20 > 0:19:22actress, Jane Seymour.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Jane Seymour, you are saying.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Wife of Henry VIII / '70s Bond girl actress.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Also supplying the answer Linda was looking for. Let's see, anyway.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Jane Seymour. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Very well done,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46lowest score of the pass. 24 for Jane Seymour.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well played, Keir. She played the Solitaire in Live And Let Die.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Paul, what were the other ones you were going to go for?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Well, I was going to... James Caan, I thought I knew.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02MasterChef, winning rugby player's Phil Vickery.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06And the German composer, I think that's Englebert Humperdinck.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Absolutely right in all three of those.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Let's take a look through the points.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Englebert Humperdinck for the German composer who sang Release Me
0:20:12 > 0:20:14would've scored you 14,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16better than what you went for.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Winning rugby player and TV chef, Phil Vickery.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You're right. That would've scored 11,
0:20:20 > 0:20:21so better than what you went for.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24The former TV Dragon and Godfather actor James Caan,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27absolutely right, would've scored you nine.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And the one that nobody's got, P-Funk musician
0:20:29 > 0:20:33and fourth US Vice President. Xander, do you know that one?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36He was in Parliament and Funkadelic.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- George Clinton.- Absolutely right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Would've scored you two points.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43He was also Vice President to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Very well done if you got all 12 of those.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Thank you. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53The lowest scorer of the pass, Keir, was yours,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57so Keir and Shalini, I'd say looking, pretty strong.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Then we've got 30, where we find Paul and Martin.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Then up to 100 where we find Linda and Tom.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Who knows what will happen next,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07what the next board's going to look like. But, Tom, most certainly
0:21:07 > 0:21:11we are going to require a low-scoring answer from you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12We're going back down the line.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Can the second players please take their places?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20OK. We're going to put six more clues on the board,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and here they come. We have got...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'll read those all one more time.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Remember, we're looking for the names
0:22:00 > 0:22:04that are shared by these people described by the clues behind me.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Shalini, you're on 24, the high scorers are Tom and Linda on 100.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13A score of 75 or less will take you through to the head-to-head.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16What are you thinking, Shalini?
0:22:16 > 0:22:21I'm thinking I'm glad Keir went first and gave us a good backing.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I only know two, but I'm going to go with Cloud Atlas, Peep Show star,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- and David Mitchell.- Very good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31David Mitchell, you are saying, the Cloud Atlas author
0:22:31 > 0:22:32and the star of Peep Show.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Is it right? How many people said it? Here's your red lines,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37lovely and high.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Get below it, you're through to the head-to-head. David Mitchell.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Absolutely right. And you're through to the head to head.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Down it goes.
0:22:48 > 0:22:4913.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50APPLAUSE
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- 13 takes your total up to 37. - Well-played, Shalini.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Sailing through there.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Cloud Atlas, of course nominated for a Booker Prize,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and Peep Show nominated for all sorts of comedy awards.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I like him in Mitchell And Webb. David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Do you ever watch that?- I do.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Cos you do a double act. Yours is Armstrong and Miller. Is that right?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Yes, that's right, Richard. Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'm a very big fan of Mitchell and Webb.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:23:19 > 0:23:25You do the sort of slightly more obvious stuff. You know what I mean?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That sort of slightly toilet humour-y stuff.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Ben Miller not so much, but you, very much.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Whereas I think Mitchell and Webb, especially David Mitchell,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35they're quite clever, they're cleverer.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yes, I see. Cerebral. Cerebral.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'm sorry, this isn't... I'm not quite getting this across right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Cos they are funnier than you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48No. Because they're funnier than you but also cleverer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Do you know what I mean?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I do. I see what you're saying. They're very clever.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54They write their own stuff too,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57which I think you and Ben do as well, which could be your mistake.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Very good. Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Martin.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06The high scorers on 100 are Tom and Linda.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08You're on 30,
0:24:08 > 0:24:13which means a score of 69 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm in trouble.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I'm just going to have to make up an answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25Turner Prize winner, Bullitt actor, David Hockney.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29OK. David Hockney, says Martin.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Turner Prize winner and Bullitt actor David Hockney. Is it right?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36How many people said it? There's your red line.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Oh. Ooh. Bad luck, Martin. Bad luck.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46As you probably knew, that is an incorrect answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 130. Richard.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Sorry, Martin. Not only did he never win the Turner Prize,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56more extraordinarily, he wasn't in Bullitt.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Now then, Tom. You're not out of the woods yet.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06You're high scorers, Martin and Paul, are on 130. You're on 100.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09But this means you have to score 29 or less.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Erm... Shakespeare's wife, Hollywood actress is Anne Hathaway.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Captain America actor and Radio 2 DJ is Chris Evans.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Bandleader, UK Prime Minister, erm...
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Got to be either Ted Heath or James Callahan. I'd say Ted Heath.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The Turner Prize winner, Bullitt actor, possibly Steve McQueen.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But the one I'm going to go for is the Irish revolutionary
0:25:29 > 0:25:30and Apollo 11 astronaut.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- It was Michael Collins. - Michael Collins.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35You're going to go for Irish revolutionary
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42There is your red line.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44This is a very exciting end to our second round.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You get below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Michael Collins.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Absolutely right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Yep, you've done it.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Very, very well done indeed.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Tom, you've scored five. That takes your total up to 105
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and earns you a place in the head-to-head.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08HE EXHALES
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Very good answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Michael Collins was the man who was left in the command module
0:26:12 > 0:26:15when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18You've taken us through the rest of the answers there,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20so five points for Michael Collins.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25The Turner Prize winner and Bullitt actor was Steve McQueen, as you say.
0:26:25 > 0:26:2719 points would've seen you safely through.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- You're quite right, It's Ted Heath. - Can I make a confession?- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I thought that was the same person -
0:26:32 > 0:26:35the bandleader and the Prime Minister from the 1970s.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Because he was a conductor, Ted Heath. He did.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42He conducted and he played the piano.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44He died the year before he became Prime Minister.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Well, that fits.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54How about that?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Should we go through the rest of them?- Yes.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00The Captain America actor and Radio 2 DJ, absolutely right, Chris Evans.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Seven points, that would've scored you. And Shakespeare's wife,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Hollywood actress, it was Anne Hathaway,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09but if you'd said that you'd have been knocked out cos it's 37 points.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The best answer there is Michael Collins so you did well to go for it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Sorry about the Ted Heath thing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, you know. It's fine. I think I'll be all right.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I'm afraid it's Paul and Martin.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Did you recognise any answers once they'd been supplied?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Once they were up there.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Well, there we are.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I'm afraid the red writing is on the wall. We have to say goodbye to you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Thank you both so much for playing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39APPLAUSE
0:27:39 > 0:27:41But for the remaining two pairs,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42things are about to get even more exciting now
0:27:42 > 0:27:44as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Congratulations, Shalini and Keir, Tom and Linda.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55You are now one round away from the final and a chance
0:27:55 > 0:28:00to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Only one pair can play for that money, and to decide which one,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's going to be a very exciting third round.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Let's play the head to head.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Actors who've played Elizabeth I. Richard.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38We're about to show you five pictures of actors playing Elizabeth I in a film.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Can you identify the most obscure Elizabeth I, please?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Thank you. Let's reveal our five Elizabeths.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46And here they are.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47We have got...
0:29:02 > 0:29:05OK. There we have our five Elizabeths.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Shalini and Keir, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11so you get to go first.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14(B I think they're going to know.)
0:29:14 > 0:29:16(Let's go with C. I think it is.)
0:29:16 > 0:29:21We're going to try C, Glenda Jackson.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25C, Glenda Jackson, say Shalini and Keir. C, Glenda Jackson.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Tom and Linda, you can now talk us through the rest of the board.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Could I have a closer look at B? - You certainly can.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36(I know who that is. It's an old actress.)
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I think it might be Glenda Jackson.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40No, that's who C is.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Oh, I shouldn't be playing!
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Have you been on Richard's medication?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53A is Cate Blanchett, D is Judi Dench.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Have a go at E with Maggie Smith.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00E, Maggie Smith, say Tom and Linda.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04So, Shalini and Keir have identified C as Glenda Jackson.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Let's see if that's right and if so, let's see how many people said Glenda Jackson for C.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Absolutely right.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:30:19 > 0:30:2024.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Now, Tom and Linda, you have gone for E,
0:30:23 > 0:30:27who you identified as Maggie Smith.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Your face doesn't look completely convinced.- Not convinced.- No.- No.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Well, let's see.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Maggie Smith, is it right? How many people said Maggie Smith for E?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Oh, bad luck!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Maggie Smith, it ain't.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Which means, after one question, Shalini and Keir, you are up 1-0.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Well done. Richard. - Well played, Shalini and Keir.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49When I saw E, I thought it was Maggie Smith as well.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I don't know who E is.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Looks like the man who used to teach me scripture.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56LAUGHTER
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Well, if the man who used to teach you scripture was Quentin Crisp...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- It was! No, I'm joking. - AUDIENCE MURMUR
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's a pointless answer, from Orlando in 1992.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- There we are.- So, all apologies to Dame Maggie Smith.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10LAUGHTER
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Once again, Tom and Linda, you lost the head-to-head in the last show
0:31:15 > 0:31:17because both times you had the right answer
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and you didn't give it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20- If you'd said Cate Blanchett...- Yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24It would've scored you 17 points. AUDIENCE GROAN
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Yeah. B, Linda, you're quite right, you said it's an older actress.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Vanessa Redgrave, the name you're looking for.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Vanessa Redgrave would've scored you 3 points, so a terrific answer.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37And the only one that's left, she won an Oscar for just eight minutes
0:31:37 > 0:31:41of screen time in Shakespeare In Love, Judi Dench.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44She would've scored a fairly mighty 69 points, though.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Thanks very much, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Tom and Linda, you know what you have to do. It concerns...
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Unchained Melody, Richard.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Yeah, we're about to give you five clues to facts
0:32:00 > 0:32:02about the classic song, Unchained Melody.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Which of these is most obscure? Good luck.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06OK, thank you very much.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Unchained Melody.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11And here they come. We have got...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I'll read those one last time.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45So, there we are, five clues to facts about Unchained Melody.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Tom and Linda, you go first this time.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49THEY CONFER
0:32:49 > 0:32:52(The DJ, I think, was Jimmy Young.)
0:32:52 > 0:32:54If you're not sure of the answer, let's go for...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Yeah, go for that. OK.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We'll go for the drama series where it was sung by Robson and Jerome,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02which was Soldier Soldier.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Soldier Soldier, you are saying. Now then, Shalini and Keir,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07you can do all your deliberating out loud now
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and take us through the board, if you like.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12The only one, the other one, but we think we know,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16is the 1990 film, which we think to be Ghost.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17So...
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- We're going to say... - Shall we say Ghost?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22We're going to say Ghost. The 1990 film is Ghost.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24OK, the 1990 film in which it was prominent, Ghost.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Tom and Linda have gone with Soldier Soldier...
0:33:29 > 0:33:33..as the series in which Robson and Jerome sang the song.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Soldier Soldier, say Tom and Linda.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Is it right, how many people said it?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40He's right.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4434.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45APPLAUSE
0:33:50 > 0:33:5234. Now, Shalini and Keir,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56you have said Ghost was the 1990 film in which it was prominent.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02That's right.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04And 34 is what you have to beat.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07You've done it! Ooh! 32.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09APPLAUSE
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Oh, sorry!
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Very well done. 32, very, very close indeed.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18But after two questions, Shalini and Keir,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20you are through to the final, 2-0. Richard.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Yes, very well played, Shalini and Keir. Now, Tom and Linda...
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- Well, I heard you confer there. - Mm-hmm.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Tom, tell me the singer and DJ who had a number one hit with that song?
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Jimmy Young.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Is the correct answer...
0:34:34 > 0:34:37and would've scored you 10 points. LINDA LAUGHS
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Oh-h-h, God!
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It was an instrumental hit for...
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Liberace. Would've scored you 7.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46And the year it was first released -
0:34:46 > 0:34:501955. 5 points. That's the best answer there.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Very well done anyone who got all those at home.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- That's four in row, guys.- I know!
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Four in a row. Well, you know them, you've proved it.- Yeah.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, sorry to say,
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Tom and Linda, it's you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You'd be worthy finalists,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10but I'm afraid you've been beaten fair and square by Shalini and Keir.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Tom and Linda, thanks for playing, been great having you on the show.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15APPLAUSE
0:35:15 > 0:35:20But, for Shalini and Keir, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Congratulations, Shalini and Keir. You fought off all the competition
0:35:26 > 0:35:30and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Well, on aggregate, the lowest scorers in the first two rounds.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51You made it to Round Two, last time you were on, didn't you?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53This time round, straight through.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57And then into the head-to-head, you saw off Tom and Linda...2-0!
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Well, yes.- I mean, they were an amazingly hard pair to beat.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Really. Definitely, that was luck. - Yeah, well, you managed to do it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Very, very best of luck.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07The rules for this final round are very simple.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Now, we've had one pointless answer today.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13You only have to find one more
0:36:13 > 0:36:16and you will go home with that £1,250.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Firstly, choose a category. You can choose from these five options.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20They are...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Shall we try The BBC?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- OK. Seems only right to go for The BBC.- Let's go with BBC, yeah.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34You're going to go with The BBC. What would you like it to be?
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- THEY LAUGH - Anything post-1986, Alexander.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40OK.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42ANYTHING post-1986?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That's still quite broad.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:49 > 0:36:53BBC local radio stations as they could.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55BBC local radio stations, Richard.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Yeah, we're looking for the names of any of the local radio stations
0:36:58 > 0:37:01operated by the BBC in the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04whether they broadcast either full or part-time.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07And we want the names as they appear on the BBC website, please.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Very best of luck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15And all you need to win that £1,250
0:37:15 > 0:37:18is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yes.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Is there Wave or something?- Wave? Where would that be?- On the coast?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- What's near you in Sussex? - In Sussex...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- There's a Solent. I think there's a BBC Solent.- Yeah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38It's good to go for ones that don't have the name of a county in it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- If we can think of any, such as BBC Solent.- North?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Mm, no.- Tyne?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46What was there in Sheffield when you went to uni?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Yeah, I was thinking, but I can't think of what it was.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54What about in London? London. What's Vanessa Feltz on?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- LBC.- LBC?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00I mean, a lot of people in London are going to say that.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Still, it may be a right answer. Erm...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I can think what was in Norwich.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- No, we just didn't listen to the BBC!- Didn't listen to the BBC?!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Shall we go for a very small place like Jersey or Guernsey?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Yeah.- Go for Solent...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- and go for LBC?- 10 seconds left. - Yeah, OK.- Jersey, Guernsey or Skye?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Isle of Skye's got to have its own radio station.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22We could say Jersey and Guernsey.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- BBC Channel Islands?- Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- They're not going to have... - OK, that's your time up.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29We were looking for BBC local radio stations.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I now need your three answers.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Erm...- Solent.- Radio Solent.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Radio Solent.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40BBC Channel Islands.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- BBC Channel Islands. - BBC Channel Islands.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43And LBC.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44And LBC.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46OK, of those three answers...
0:38:47 > 0:38:50..which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Solent?- Yeah. - I think I've heard of Radio Solent.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54OK, I'll put Radio Solent last.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Which is your least likely?- LBC.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- LBC.- LBC. So, we'll put LBC first.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02OK, let's pop them up on the board in that order. And here they come.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04We have got...
0:39:09 > 0:39:12OK, so we were looking for BBC local radio stations.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14LBC was your LEAST confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17You only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:17 > 0:39:19to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Let's see how many people said LBC.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Is it right, and how many people said it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Oh-ee!
0:39:30 > 0:39:34OK, an incorrect answer, therefore, not a pointless answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Anyway...- Who knew? - Who knows, who knows?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Richard will fill us in at the end.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42What would you do with £1,250, Shalini?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I think we'd put it towards a good holiday.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49We wanted to go to Las Vegas before we had a baby.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Maybe this will pay for a baby to go too, and it will be babysat!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Very good indeed.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57OK, we are looking for BBC local radio stations.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Let's hope nobody said your next answer - the Channel Islands.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02This has to be right and it has to be pointless,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and if it's both of those things, you will win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07How many people said the Channel Islands?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11No-o-o!
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Bad luck!
0:40:12 > 0:40:15OK, only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Mind you, you came up with it almost immediately. Solent.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- I think I've heard of it, yeah. - Solent.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Oh, it sounds like a good name for a radio station.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Solent.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26We are looking for BBC local radio stations.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Your third and final answer. Solent, you thought,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- It has to be right at this rate, anyway.- Yeah.- Let's see.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Then we'll see if it's pointless.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38But if it is both of those things, you will leave here with £1,250.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Solent, how many people said it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It's right! There we are.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47This was the answer you were most sure of, and with reason.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It's the correct one.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Down it goes into the teens, into single figures.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53If it goes all the way down, you leave...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Oh-ho-ho! - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:55 > 0:40:563.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well done!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Sorry.- No, what can you do? I had nothing!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- 3. You were very close... - Almost.- ..with your last answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Well, unfortunately, you didn't find that
0:41:07 > 0:41:09all-important pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:41:09 > 0:41:13today's jackpot of £1,250, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16But you have been fantastic contestants,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- and you do get our Pointless trophy. So, very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Yeah, LBC is a commercial station, I'm afraid.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You played terrifically well throughout,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and it pains me to say this - that's about as close
0:41:32 > 0:41:35as I've ever seen somebody coming to a pointless answer
0:41:35 > 0:41:38and talk themselves out of it in the last, I would say, maybe,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40second and a half of your 60 seconds.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43You had two pointless answers in your deliberations -
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Jersey and Guernsey.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48AUDIENCE GROANS Both correct, both pointless.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I'm really sorry... Well, I couldn't stop it happening.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Second and a half to go and you changed your mind on both of them.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56There's not that many pointless answers, actually.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Most of them scored some, because, obviously, of our 100 people
0:41:59 > 0:42:02across the country, you tend to say your local station.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04But let's look at the ones that nobody said.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06BBC Radio Berkshire, Coventry and Warwickshire,
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Foyle in Northern Ireland. Those are all pointless.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Gloucestershire, there's Guernsey and Jersey.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Sorry, guys.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16All pointless there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Orkney, Shetland and Shropshire.
