0:00:20 > 0:00:24APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Welcome, Stuart and Paul.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42You are our first pair on the show today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We both work together at a caravan dealership.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Where is that, Stuart? - In Shrewsbury.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Paul, what are you hoping for today?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hopefully music, films, something along those lines.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Any favourite kind of music?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Music, I like anything, '60s, '70s, to modern stuff, really, as well.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59That's good, so a nice, broad base, there.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03In my spare time I run karaoke and disco nights as well.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Fantastic. - So I've got a bit of knowledge.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Stuart, what would you like to see?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Movies. Movies are my thing. I've got a huge collection at home.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Right. Do you have a favourite director, or favourite actor?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I love most of the things by Scorsese.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Anything crime, gangster, that sort of thing.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20OK, very good, very good.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Anything you'd particularly not like to see, Paul?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Wouldn't want to see food, anything like that, because, basically...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28No-one wants to see food.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Basically, I live on my own, I don't do a lot of cooking.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Takeaways, pot noodles, that sort of thing,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35so food, geography, something like that.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39OK, well, very best of luck to Stuart and Paul. It's great to have you here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Next, we welcome Ian and Ann. How do you two know each other?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I'm here with my mum. I met her 45 years ago.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I can't remember the first meeting, though. I think she can.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49I bet she can.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Definitely.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Where are you from, Ann?
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Shildon, County Durham.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Shildon in County Durham, wonderful. What do you do, Ann?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'm retired now, but I do a lot of knitting,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and I've brought you a present.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- Oh, have you?- Yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Have you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Ah, look at that!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09APPLAUSE
0:02:09 > 0:02:11They're to scale, as well.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Ha-ha-ha!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's nice.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Look at that. That is nice. They're to scale, as well. Look at that!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24"Why, I oughta..."
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Boom!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Ka-cha!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Urghh!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Boom!
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Urgh!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32"Get off my desk!"
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Aaah!
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Grrr!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Aaaah!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Aaaaaaaaah!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47APPLAUSE
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- I like them. - These are great.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Ah!- Ah!- We're going to have lots of fun with them.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ah!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- That's nice. - That's nice.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06LAUGHTER
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'll put it back, I'll put it back. There we are.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11There we go. Ann, those are fabulous.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13What would you like to see come up?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Musicals and nature questions.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Very good indeed. Ian, what do you do?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I'm a debt adviser.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20A debt adviser.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Anything you'd particularly not like to see come up?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Well, the intellectual things, really.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Geography, history, science, Greek gods, Norse gods.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Nice specificity there. I like Norse gods.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You're going to be good at this, something tells me.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Very good. It's lovely to have you here, and I can't thank you enough for those dolls. They are fantastic.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- I think action figures, I'm going to call them.- Action figures, yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51They're woollen action figures. Anyway, very, very best of luck on the show.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Next, we welcome Caroline and Andy L.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Now, how do you two know each other?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Well, Caroline's been my sister for as long as I can remember,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01which is quite a long time.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Thank you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Where are you from, Caroline?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I'm from Northampton.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- From Northampton. Andy? - I'm from Leeds.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- And what do you do, Caroline? - I'm a midwife.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13How many infants have you presided over?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I've not got the exact number, but it's well over 450.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Wow, that is a lot. Andy, what do you do?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I work in a job centre. Personal adviser in a job centre.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Caroline, what would you like to see come up?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Science and nature, food and drink.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29More food than drink.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30- More food than drink.- Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Andy, what would you like to see come up? What would be good for you?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Yeah, geography as well, I think. I've done quite a lot of travelling.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, welcome to the show, Caroline and Andy.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Great to have you here.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Finally, we welcome back Grant and Andy C. What happened? Remind us. You were on the show last time.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Everybody gets two chances to reach the final.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49This is your second chance. Remind us what happened.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Apparently Yugoslavia's not a country any more.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Of course, you meant to say Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. - That's the one.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Grant, how do you two know each other?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01We met when Andy's dad, who's a kitchen designer,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03was fitting one in my grandparents' flat,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06and I was hovering about, and he thought we'd get on well,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I don't know why, but we've stuck at it for the last 15 years.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12And we do get on some of the time.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- And here you are, 15 years later, appearing on Pointless.- Yeah. - Your friendship will survive that.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- I don't know.- I'm not sure.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20We might want to go our separate ways after this!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And, Grant, what's going to help you stay with us?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- What are going to be good categories?- Sports.- Sports.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Football, golf.- OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Sitcoms, films.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Very good. Well, please can we see more of you this time.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show as we go along.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40He asks the questions that make the inside of your head itch.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Hiya.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Afternoon.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Good afternoon to you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53This should be a good show today.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57We've only got one returning pair, that's Grant and Andy C,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00who didn't cover themselves in glory last time, but looking at question one today,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I think you'll get through round one today.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- I think you will, and our three new pairs, a very, very useful bunch. - Aren't they?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Often, people's jobs are fairly selfish and self serving.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13If you want to be born, Caroline's your woman.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15She's your person.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Andy, he can get you a job at the job centre.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22When you lose that job, Ian can get you out of debt,
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- and these guys can get you a caravan! - See?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's all that life needs, isn't it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, right there.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Born, work, debt, caravan. The big four.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's like a terrible, terrible A-Team.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46To stay in the game and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48our players must score as few points as possible.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Now, what everyone's trying to do, of course,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05so today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the maximum of 100 points, so do try and avoid those if you can.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33OK, our first category is...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Football. There it is.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, and who's going to go second.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK, let's find out the question.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many teams
0:07:54 > 0:07:58in the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League as they could.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Richard.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03We're looking for any of the 32 teams who qualified
0:08:03 > 0:08:06for at least the group stages of the 2011/2012 Champions League.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Very best of luck.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11OK, thank you very much. Now, then, Stuart and Paul.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You all drew lots before the show, and today, you are going first.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Stuart, is this good for you?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Yes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Well, I thought it was, but I've gone completely blank,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26so I'm going to have to take it very safe and say Arsenal.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Arsenal, says Stuart. Arsenal.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Arsenal?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33It's right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:3851.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41APPLAUSE
0:08:41 > 0:08:4351 for Arsenal.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Yeah, pretty big score, Stuart,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and there may be bigger scores to come.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Now, then, Ann. How is this for you as a category?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Very good.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'll have to go for one that might be more than that,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and just say Manchester United.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Manchester United, says Ann.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Let's see if that's right,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Man United.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oooh, 80!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well, it's better than 100, Ann, isn't it?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Man United beat Arsenal 80-51.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Rooney scored 27 of them.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Andy, Andy L.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Now, remember, we are looking for teams who played
0:09:26 > 0:09:28in the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I should be very good at this, but I'm struggling, really.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I think this is correct. Ajax, of Amsterdam.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Ajax, says Andy, Ajax.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Let's see if that's right,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Ajax.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43It's right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Very well done indeed, Andy L.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53APPLAUSE
0:09:53 > 0:09:54That's a great score.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Six for Ajax.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Well done. Qualified by winning the Dutch league.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02They won the Champions League themselves in 1995.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05And, Andy C.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Erm, I'm going to go with Napoli.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Napoli.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Napoli. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14It's right.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Very well done, Andy.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Best score of the pass. Four.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's more your cup of tea, isn't it, Andy? Champions league.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35They qualified by coming third in Serie A. It's the first time they've been in the group stages.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at our scores.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Four, Andy. The best score of that pass, Andy C.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44So, Andy and Grant looking particularly strong on four.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Then we come up to six, where we find Andy L and Caroline,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50then up to 51, where we find Stuart and Paul,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54and then up to 80, where we find Ann and Ian.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I mean, you're not miles out in front, there, Ann and Ian,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59but far enough for you, Ian,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01to need to find a very obscure answer on the next pass
0:11:01 > 0:11:03if we're to see you into the next round.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07OK, we're going to come back. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Now then, Grant.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15That was a great answer from Andy C, lowest score so far.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Do you think you can get a lower score?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21There's a couple of teams that I'm pretty confident on,
0:11:21 > 0:11:22but since the score was so good,
0:11:22 > 0:11:27I think I'm going to play moderately safe and go with Basel.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Basel, says Grant.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31The high scorers are Ian and Ann on 80.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32You're on four,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36which means a score of 75 or less will see you into the next round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Basel, says Grant. Let's see how many people said that. Basel.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40There's your red line.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Well done, you've done it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51And you've done it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You're through to the next round.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56You scored only three,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58so you managed to score less than Andy C as well.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00That takes your total up to seven.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03The Swiss champions had a memorable Champions League, knocking out Man United.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Caroline.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08So, remember, we're looking for teams
0:12:08 > 0:12:11that played in the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You're on six. The high scorers remain Ian and Ann on 80,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17which means 73 or less will keep you in the game.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Andy's helped me, because he's allowed me to play safe,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and I'm going to say Bayern Munich.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Bayern Munich, says Caroline. Let's see if that's right,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and if so, how many people said Bayern Munich?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Here's your red line. Quite nice and high. Bayern Munich.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Yeah, you've done it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:4020.
0:12:40 > 0:12:4320 for Bayern Munich takes your total up to 26.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Well played, Caroline. Safely through.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The most successful German team in European history.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Now, then, Ian. Is this a good category for you?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Darlington never qualified for the Champions League this year, so I didn't take much interest.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm going to have to have to try and pull something out of the bag,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04but I don't think I'm going to be able to. I'll go for Porto.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Porto, says Ian. Porto.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Porto.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You're the highest scorers on 80, Ian,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12so I'm afraid there's no red line for you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You just have to hope this goes down as far as it possibly can. Porto.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It's right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Very well done indeed, Ian.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29A cracking answer. Lovely low score.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Four takes your total to 84. Could be enough to keep you in the game. Richard.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Yeah, given yourself a chance, there, with a terrific answer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39They won it, of course, in 2004, Porto, under Jose Mourinho.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Now then, Paul. The moment of truth.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43The high scorers are still Ian and Ann,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but now they're on 84, you're on 51.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Your target is 32 or less.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I should know a few.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I think I will go with Lyon.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Lyon.- Yes.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58OK, Lyon, says Paul. Here's your red line.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Not as high as it might be.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Let's see if Lyon's right,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and if it is, let's see if it gets you below that red line.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Lyon.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06It's right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well done, you've done it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Seven.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Seven for Lyon takes your total up to 58.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Well played, Paul.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Very good round from everyone. Finished third in the French league, Lyon.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28There's a bunch of pointless answers. Let's take a look, see if you got any of these at home.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30All of these would have added £250 to the jackpot.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Apoel Nicosia from Cyprus would have added £250.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35CSKA Moscow, they're from Moscow.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Dinamo Zagreb, they're from...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Zagreb. - Zagreb, in Croatia, absolutely right.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Let's have a look at the next page.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Otelul Galats is how I'm going to pronounce them.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48They're from Romania, anyway. Shakhtar Donetsk.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Do you know what they're famous for?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52From Ukraine, a very good team.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Very famous for losing to Fulham in the Europa League two years ago, when I was there.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58That's what they're most famous for.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Trabzonspor, from Turkey, also a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's take a look at the highest scores. We've already had a couple.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Stuart gave us Arsenal, for 51.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There's Chelsea, 63, and who would have thought it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Again, Man United, right at the top with 80.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Ann gave us that.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Very well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of round one,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Ian and Ann.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Oh, dear. I'm sorry. No incorrect answer there.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I'm sorry that we have to say goodbye to you so soon.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33You're not waving goodbye?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41THEY SNIFF
0:15:41 > 0:15:44We'll see you again next time, and we'll look forward to that,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47but, meanwhile, thank you for playing, Ian and Ann. Great contestants.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50APPLAUSE
0:15:50 > 0:15:54But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07so one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Well, Grant and Andy, they're the golden boys after that round.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15That was more like it, wasn't it? That felt much better than last show.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16We were discussing it,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- and we could have had about four pointless answers between the two of us.- Really?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21We just played safe, yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Well, that's probably sensible. But, anyway, very well done.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27There they are, that's the pair to beat, everyone.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28OK, our category for round two is...
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Whoever is first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK, and our question concerns...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Wow. Richard. - Hold onto your hats.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54World airports are known by those three letter codes,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56the ones you get on baggage tags, that sort of thing.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59We're going to show you six of those codes on each pass.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02You need to tell us which city does that code apply to,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04which city's airport does that code apply to.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08An obscure answer scores fewer points, an incorrect answer will be 100 points.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10There's going to be 12 codes in all to decipher at home.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Very best of luck.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13OK, thanks very much.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16So, we are looking for the cities in which you would find these airports,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18represented by their three-letter codes.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19And we have got...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'll read them one last time.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35BKK, CAI, DEL, JFK, KIN, and LAX.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39There we are.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Six three-letter codes for international airports,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46and we're looking for the cities in which you would find those airports.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Stuart.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Well, looking down the list, none of them are ringing any bells,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53so I obviously haven't been there, so again,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm going to play safe, and go LAX, Los Angeles.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, LAX for Los Angeles.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Los Angeles, says Stuart. Is it right? How many people knew that answer?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04It's correct.
0:18:06 > 0:18:0857.
0:18:10 > 0:18:1457, but you have taken one of the more easy ones off the board,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18so you might have taken someone else's lifeline away, there.
0:18:18 > 0:18:1957 for LAX.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Yes, LAX is Los Angeles International Airport. The fifth busiest in the world.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It occurs to me, if you work in security there, you work for LAX security.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Good point.- That's not great, is it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Not great.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Caroline.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36We're looking for the cities where you would find these airports.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I know two for definite, and I can guess two more.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm going to play fairly safe, though. I'm going to go BKK, Bangkok.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46BKK, Bangkok.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Bangkok, says Caroline.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Bangkok.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55It's right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:0042.
0:19:05 > 0:19:0742. That's quite a high score.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Yeah, I think BKK, what other city is it going to be?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12The clue's sort of there, isn't it?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, that is.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Suvarnabhumi? - Suvarnabhumi, yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Good.- You got a problem with that? - Nope.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Sure?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Want to take it up with LAX security?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25No, it's fine.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30It's fine. Grant, you are the last person to have this board.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You can muse on it out loud for us, if you like.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38There is a few. JFK probably being the most obvious one, New York.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43The top two, I think CAI might be Cairo, and DEL might be Delhi.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49But I'm going to go with CAI, and go for Cairo.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Cairo, CAI, says Grant. Cairo.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Let's see if it's right, and let's see how many people said Cairo was CAI.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Absolutely right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09That's a great answer, Grant. Look at that. Best score of the pass. 14.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1014 for Cairo.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, well played, Grant. Cairo International Airport.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17You also chose the best one of the ones you knew, as well, if we take a look at the other scores.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19JFK, as you say, is in New York, John F Kennedy Airport.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It would have scored 66.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25DEL is New Delhi, that would have scored you 31.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26KIN. Do you know KIN?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Kinshasa?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Well, I thought maybe Kinshasa. It actually Kingston, in Jamaica.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Would have scored four points.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I suspect many people may have made the same mistake,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36but very well done if you got all six of those.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Let's take a look at those scores. 14, scored Grant with CAI.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Very good score there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48That might be enough to see you through to the head-to-head.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Then we go up to 42, where we see Caroline and Andy L,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55and then up to 57, where we find Stuart and Paul, so Paul,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58we need a really nice, low-scoring answer from you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01We're going to come back. Can the second players please take their places.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08OK, we're going to put six more airport codes on the board, and here they come.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10We have got...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'll read those one more time.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26DXB, SYD, BGI, MEX, SIN, and JNB. There we are.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Remember, you are looking for the cities in which you would find these airports.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And, as always, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Now, Andy C, you're on 14,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38thanks to Grant's brilliant answer in the first pass.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The high scorers on 57 are Paul and Stuart.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45If you can score 42 or less, you are into the head-to-head.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I know the obvious ones,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51but I think I'm going to go for maybe a wee punt.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I'm going to go for the bottom one and say Johannesburg.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58JNB, Johannesburg. Is that a punt?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Slightly. We'll see. - We'll see. Here's your red line.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06If you get below that red line, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Good luck. Is Johannesburg right? How many people said it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:11It's right.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17And you are through. Oh, look at that, 32.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2232 takes your total up to 46.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah, well played, gents. Safely through.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's Africa's busiest airport,
0:22:26 > 0:22:31and Johannesburg, the world's largest city that's not on a coastline, a river or a lake.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32- Didn't know that. - Yeah, there you go.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You can have it that for free.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Africa's busiest airport.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I bet they don't have that as their slogan.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Yeah, they do. That's their slogan.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42BOTH: Africa's busiest airport.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah. That's what they call it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47That, to me, says you're going to be waiting a long time in every queue.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51'Africa's friendliest airport'.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I am there. I'm going to fly there.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55'Africa's laxest airport'.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Now, then. Andy L. You are a well-travelled man.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I am.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I think you might be able to find a really good, low-scoring answer on this board.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I can see three fairly obvious ones.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well, you're on 42.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The high scorers at the moment are Paul and Stuart on 57,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19which means you want to be scoring 14 or less to avoid becoming the high scorers yourself.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25Yeah, this is not going to be 14 or less. SIN, Singapore.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27SIN, Singapore.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30SIN, Singapore. Here's your red line. Quite low.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Let's see if Singapore's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Singapore for SIN.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38It's right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4337.
0:23:46 > 0:23:4937 takes your total up to 79.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Richard.- That makes the end of the round very interesting. Changi Airport in Singapore.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55It's an extraordinary space-age airport,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58capable of having 70 million passengers a year.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Wouldn't call it busy, though.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- No.- Wouldn't call it a busy. - 'World's most efficient airport.'
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06'World's most spacey airport.'
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Yeah.- I would say.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Yeah. Now, then. Paul, moment of truth.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15The high scorers are now Andy and Caroline on 79. You're on 57.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19You need to be scoring 21 or less. 21 or less.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- It could be difficult.- Talk us through the board, if you like.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Well, the problem is I spent most of my holidays in caravans, so I don't travel to many airports.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32I would think MEX is probably Mexico, Mexico City.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35BGI might be Beijing
0:24:35 > 0:24:38SYD probably Sydney.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39DXB I've got no idea.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42So I'll gamble with BGI and I'll say Beijing.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Your gamble is BGI, Beijing.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49There is your red line.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Let's see if BGI is right, and if it is, how many people said BGI was Beijing.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Bad luck, Paul, bad luck.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Unfortunately, an incorrect answer, which scores you 100 points.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06That takes your total up to 157.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Richard.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah, sorry, Paul. You had to take a risk, though.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14It's actually Grantley Adams International Airport
0:25:14 > 0:25:16in Bridgetown, Barbados.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Would have scored one point, so would have been a terrific answer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I'm guessing you can fit in SYD, Sydney, absolutely right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26That would have scored you 87 points, would have been too many.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30MEX, you're absolutely right, was Mexico City, would have scored 77.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35And DXB, do you know DXB? Anybody wants to have a go at DXB?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Is it Boston?- Not Boston.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Very well done at home anyone who said Dubai.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44It's Dubai International Airport. Would have scored 13 points.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47So, Bridgetown, very much the best answer on that board.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49OK, well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, Stuart and Paul.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Paul, you did an absolutely brilliant thing, though, there.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You grasped that you couldn't go for one of the ones you knew, and it was going to have to be a gamble.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02It had to be a gamble, yeah.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Stuart and Paul, you played extremely well. Your tactics have been great.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I'm sorry that you had such a shocking board to contend with.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11The second board was much harder.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It's been great having you here. We'll see you again,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- but meanwhile, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Things are about to get more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Congratulations Grant and Andy C, Caroline and Andy L.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You are now only one round away from the final, and the chance
0:26:34 > 0:26:37to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £2,250.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Clearly, only one pair can play for that money,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45so to decide who it's going to be,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48you're now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52which basically means the first pair to win two questions will be playing
0:26:52 > 0:26:54for the jackpot, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04OK, so, here comes your first question,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07and it concerns people with the initials 'AA'.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10'AA'.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Wow, people with the initials 'AA'.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Richard.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17We're going to show you five pictures of famous people with the initials 'AA'.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Right, OK. Let's have a look at our five people with the initials 'AA',
0:27:23 > 0:27:24and here they are.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Five famous 'AA's'. Now, then.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Grant and Andy C, because you played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48you get to go first.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53OK, we think we know three, but since it's the first question,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56we're going to have a bit of a guess.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Educated, but C is Alan Arkin.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03C is Alan Arkin.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10Alan Arkin, say Grant and Andy C. Now, then, Caroline and Andy L.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14You can now talk us through all of those answers, if you like.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18We also know three. A is Adam Ant,
0:28:18 > 0:28:23E is Andre Agassi, and C is Alan Alda,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26and C is what we're going to go for.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34Alan Alda. OK, so, Grant and Andy C, you said Alan Arkin for C.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Alan Arkin?
0:28:39 > 0:28:44I think you might have known that even before we put it to the test,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48because Caroline and Andy L have said Alan Alda for C.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many said Alan Alda.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53It's right.
0:28:58 > 0:28:5921.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04But more importantly, it was correct, which means,
0:29:04 > 0:29:08after one question, Caroline and Andy L are up 1-0. Richard.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Yeah, that was tough.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Alan Arkin, an actor of a very similar age
0:29:12 > 0:29:15and generation to Alan Alda, but not Alan Alda, I'm afraid.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20A, as you rightly say, is Adam Ant. 77, that would have scored you.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22It goes to show you, people from the '80s,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25we've said it time and again, their fame endures.
0:29:25 > 0:29:2877 people out of 100.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29B. Do you know B?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Anne Archer. She would have scored you three points.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37A very good answer if you said that at home.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39There's Alan Alda.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42D is another American actress, Amy Adams,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45who recently starred in the Muppet movie, amongst many other things.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47She would have scored you six points.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I like Amy Adams. And E, absolutely right, is Andre Agassi,
0:29:51 > 0:29:55who would have scored you 51, so Andre Agassi, less than Adam Ant.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00Of course, they left out the three most popular celebrities
0:30:00 > 0:30:04with the name 'AA', of all, of course.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Number three, Anthony Andrews, number two, Angry Anderson,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- who sung that song from Neighbours. - Oh, yes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15And number one, we did this scientifically, with 100 people,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17most popular British celebrity with the initials 'AA'?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Do you remember from X Factor, a few years ago, Andy Abrahams. Do you remember him?- Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25By a mile.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Well, that's as you'd expect.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What we actually did, we went through,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33we did the top 70 most popular celebrities with the initials 'AA'.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34It was great.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I've got a whole list here, if you want to see them at some point.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Hold on a minute.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I'm just thinking of you.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Yeah, that's interesting you weren't on the list.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52There is 70. There's a lot of people on there.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yeah, that's a lot.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59And the last person on the list is Al Adams, who is the mayor of Wadebridge.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Yeah, well, he does a lot of stuff down there.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Hold on, hold on. Number 62.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Oh, sorry that's Alexander Armstrong (the puppet).
0:31:15 > 0:31:20APPLAUSE
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Thanks very much, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Grant and Andy C, we need you to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Here it comes. It concerns...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Chemical elements. Richard.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35We're going to show you five chemical elements now,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37but we'll only show a little bit of each word.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40The bits of each word is a palindrome, but that shouldn't worry you too much.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Just tell us what are these chemical elements, please. Fill in the gaps.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45OK, thank you very much.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Let's reveal our five chemical elements, and we have got...
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And I will read them all one more time.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13So, there we are. Five chemical elements.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Now, this time, Caroline and Andy L, you go first.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20This is your specialist subject.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Erm.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23I'll go for the bottom one.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Mm-hmm.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26And say Manganese.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Manganese, says Caroline. Manganese.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Now then, Grant and Andy C.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34We were really stuck, there.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36You're 1-0 down, by the way.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I know.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39You have to equalise here.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42The fifth one was actually the same answer we came up with.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45But we're going to go for the third one. Iridium.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Iridium.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Iridium.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53So, we have, from Caroline and Andy L, we have manganese,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56and from Grant and Andy C, we have iridium.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Let's put them to the test.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Caroline and Andy said manganese. How many people said that? Is it right?
0:33:02 > 0:33:03It is right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:1022.
0:33:15 > 0:33:1722. So, Grant and Andy C, you've gone for iridium.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Let's see if that's right,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and if it is, let's see how many people said iridium.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It's right. OK, so 22 is what you have to beat.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Oh, 37.
0:33:33 > 0:33:3737 for iridium, which means, after only two questions,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Caroline and Andy L are through to the final, 2-0. Richard.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Yeah, well played, Caroline and Andy. Funnily enough, fellas,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46any of the other remaining answers would have won you the points.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Any you would have had a go at? - No.- No.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Caroline, any of those others you would have had a go at?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53The fourth one down I think is beryllium.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's not, I'm afraid. The fourth one down is silicon.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Oh, right.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Silicon. Beryllium doesn't have ILI in it.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02That would have scored you five, would have been good.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Top one, Xander, any clues?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06- No idea.- Top one is xenon.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10That would have scored 18 points.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12The best answer is the second one down.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17It's one of the hardest and densest rare earth elements. It's lutetium.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Lutetium, and that would have scored one point,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21so very well done to anybody who'd got that.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- Hardness and denseness often comes together, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- People who are hard are quite often dense.- Quite often, yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Thanks so much, Richard.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Grant and Andy C.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Are you regretting Alan Arkin?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40As soon as Alan Alda was said, I realised it was wrong.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43So, listen, Grant and Andy C, round one, last time.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46This time, through to the heady delights of the head-to-head.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Anyway, you've done so well. You played fantastically well.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye to you, but you've been brilliant.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Superb contestants, Grant and Andy C.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58APPLAUSE
0:34:58 > 0:35:01But, for Caroline and Andy L, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well, congratulations, Caroline and Andy.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You have fought off all the competition,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You now have a chance to win our jackpot,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:38The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39We haven't had any on the show today.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42You only have to find one now,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44and you will leave here with a jackpot of £2,250.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Firstly, you've got to choose a category, and you have a choice of five options.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Here they come.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Film adaptations, what's that about?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Well, it's obviously books adapted to film, I'm assuming. You can have a go at that, if you feel.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Playwrights, playwrights. - Playwrights, no.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Could be Alan Bennett.- No.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10- You sure?- Yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Go mad and go film adaptations. See what it is.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- I want to do playwrights. - I don't.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Film adaptations. - Yeah.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24How did you used to resolve arguments when you were younger?
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- We used to fight quite a lot, you'd be surprised to learn. - Listen, you feel free.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Film adaptations we can both have a go, and both have a go at tennis.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Not tennis.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34- Don't want tennis?- No.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37So, film adaptations.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- OK. - Film adaptations.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Film adaptations, all right. Well, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47We give 100 people 100 seconds to name as many films
0:36:47 > 0:36:50based on Stephen King stories as they could.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Richard.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release prior
0:36:55 > 0:36:58to January 2012 for which Stephen King is credited as writing
0:36:58 > 0:37:00the original source material, please,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03including anything he's written under the name Richard Bachman.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Very best of luck.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10and all you need to win that £2,250
0:37:10 > 0:37:13is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Right, what do you know?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- None.- Fantastic(!)
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I was going to say Salem's Lot, but that is a TV film.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29He didn't write Silence Of The Lambs, did he?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31No, he didn't. He wrote Misery.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Did he write The Shining?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35They're not going to be pointless.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41What's the one with that lorry that runs people over?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Very old film. Erm.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49He wrote that, and I think that's likely to be fairly obscure.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51What else have we got?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Should have gone playwrights.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Oh, shut up.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Didn't he do The Rats, or something?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01The Rats, no, that was James Herbert.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Was it?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Stephen King.- Any ideas? - No.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09So, what are we going to go for?
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Go for The Shining.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Ten seconds left.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Misery.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17What's the film? It's a car, not a lorry. It's a runaway car.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Do you know the film I mean?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Herbie.- No, no.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22OK, that's your minute up.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28OK, we were looking for films based on Stephen King stories.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I now need your three answers.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34These are not going to be pointless, but we will go Misery.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Misery.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'm not even sure if he wrote The Shining.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38The Shining.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43I don't think it's right. It's one word. Drive. It's not drive, but...
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Drive.- Yes.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Now, of those three answers, which do you reckon is your best shot?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Misery is definitely right, I think.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK, we'll put Misery third.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Which shall we put first? - Drive.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01OK, let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06We have got Drive, The Shining, and Misery.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09So, we were looking for films based on Stephen King stories.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Drive was your least confident answer.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15You only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17to win that jackpot of £2,250.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Let's see if Drive is right,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and if it is, let's see how many people said Drive.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Bad luck.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Bad luck. OK, not a pointless answer.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32So, you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37Now, if one of these remaining two answers is right and is pointless,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40and you won £2,250, Caroline, what would you do with that?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44I don't like wearing glasses any more, and I've always toyed
0:39:44 > 0:39:51with the idea of having my eyes done, so I'm thinking about that.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53OK. Andy, what would you do?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I'd like to go back to Rome.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I've been to Rome a few times on my own.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59I'd like to go back with a friend of mine.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Very good indeed. OK, well, best of luck.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Films based on Stephen King stories.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is The Shining.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Again, this has to be right and pointless for you to win that jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Let's see. Is it both of those things?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16The Shining.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It's right.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19See, I told you it was.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23OK, your first answer, Drive, was incorrect,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26but The Shining is correct, and it is still going down.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2724.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:3724. OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Everything is now riding on Misery.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43We were looking for films based on the Stephen King stories.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46This, you said, was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51OK, let's find out, for £2,250. Misery. Is it right?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53How many people said it?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59OK, another correct answer. Drive was an incorrect answer.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03The Shining took us down to 24.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Now then, Misery, how far down is it going? Still going down. 15.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find a pointless answer,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250,
0:41:18 > 0:41:22which rolls over to the next show, but you've been brilliant contestants.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24You've done so well,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27with lots to be proud of in your performance today, and you do
0:41:27 > 0:41:29get to take away our Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32APPLAUSE
