Episode 6 Pointless

APPLAUSE

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

where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.

First, we welcome Pete and Declan. You are our first pair on the show today.

-How do you two know each other?

-I'm his son.

-That's all I need to say.

-Where is he going with this? "I am his son..."

And I'm his father.

That works both ways, doesn't it?

-Where are you from, Pete?

-We're from Wrexham in North Wales.

-Is that a North Wales accent?

-No, it's a Liverpool accent. I married a Welsh girl, three Welsh kids.

-Declan, what are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon?

-Something to do with sport or politics.

-Maybe boxing or football.

-Politics, that's quite rare.

-People often say, "No politics."

-I know.

A lot of people find it quite boring. Sometimes they find me boring because I like politics.

-Pete, what do you do?

-I work in the speciality fluids industry, supplying the can-making industry.

-Speciality fluids - sounds fascinating.

-It is.

-Declan, what do you do?

-Currently, I'm at Aberystwyth University studying Politics.

Studying Politics! It's all come good. Welcome to the show. Lovely to have you here.

Next, we welcome back Owen and Jamie. This is your second chance at the Pointless final.

-Remind us how you two know each other.

-After you.

-We met each other at Army Officer Selection.

-Remind us what happened last time.

-We were knocked out in Round 2.

-Shakespeare!

-We both felt fairly good when Shakespeare came up,

-but it turns out not so.

-Bit of a horror board.

But that was last time. Today is completely new. What will come up that will get you to the final?

-Owen?

-I think sport we're strong on, rugby, cricket.

I spent a bit of time running in Cambridge University, so hopefully, athletics.

It's great to have you back on the show. Let's hope we see more of you.

Next, we welcome back Sally and Jennifer. You were on the show last time. How do you know each other?

-We were friends at school and we're now at the same university.

-You've been friends for ever.

-For ever.

Until that second appearance on Pointless. Extraordinary - friends since five.

-But it's a new show. What would you like to see come up, Jennifer?

-Maybe musicals or science.

Science. You're the first person to say that. That's good.

Again I do it for my degree, I do Medical Sciences.

In a way, I hope it comes up, but if I get it wrong, that's embarrassing.

We shall see. Best of luck. I have high hopes for you this afternoon.

Finally, we have got Caroline and Andy. How do you two know each other?

We're a couple. We met after university working in a pub,

then found out we'd known each other for three years and didn't know.

Andy, did you have dyed hair or a Mohican?

No, we both did the same course at uni, but never met each other.

-In the same year?

-Yeah. And we live round the corner from each other.

Did either of you ever go to lectures?

-Yeah, but usually turn up late, don't talk to anyone.

-I probably turned up early and left early.

-Caroline, what do you do?

-Currently, I'm a bartender in a Turkish restaurant.

-Turkish restaurant?

-But as of next month, I'm an English language teacher in South Korea.

Blimey! The sublime to the ridiculous!

So off to South Korea? When? Any day now?

Couple of months. Well, about a month.

-Andy, are you going to go to South Korea?

-I'll tag along for a bit, then I've got to come back.

You can't tag along for a bit. You don't go to South Korea for a bit!

-Yeah, three months.

-Best of luck. It's lovely to have you on the show.

We'll find out more about all of you during the show. There is one person left for me to introduce.

He takes his holiday snaps with a camera obscura. He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.

-Hiya. Hello.

-APPLAUSE

-Good day to you.

-Good day to you, sir.

We've got two good returning pairs. Both were strong last time.

Sally and Jennifer went all the way to the head-to-head and Owen and Jamie were very unlucky.

And Caroline has gone from being a bartender to being a teacher.

That's a bold "Korea" move.

-Cos she's going to Korea.

-Yeah, there was a groan from one person.

SIGHS

That's the best I've got for the whole rest of the show. I was going to build on that.

-It should be a very good show. Four good pairs and some good questions.

-Thank you very much indeed.

All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show,

but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

To stay in the game, all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.

Everyone wants to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave and each time that happens,

we will add £250 to the jackpot.

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

Today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

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

In the first round, each of you gives me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.

If you give me an incorrect answer, you will get the maximum of 100 points, so try and avoid those.

OK, our first category this afternoon is...

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?

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

OK, so our Round 1 question this afternoon concerns...

-One-word film titles. Richard?

-On each pass, you get seven pairs of actors and a year.

Tell us which film with a one-word title those actors appeared in in that year. Seven on each board.

-14 in all to have a go at at home.

-Thank you very much.

Pete and Declan, you all drew lots before the show and this afternoon, you get to go first.

So, Pete, we are looking for the one-word title of the films that these actors were in

in the year shown and we have got...

I'm going to read them out one more time.

So, Pete, what are you now thinking?

I'm thinking, "Good."

-You're thinking "good" or you're thinking "GOOD"?

-I'm thinking..."Good."

-Good.

There's only two I really know there, Alexander.

I'm not a film buff.

And I'm going to go for Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart...

I'm going to go for Casablanca.

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

how many people knew that answer - Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Casablanca.

Yes, of course.

22.

-APPLAUSE

-Not bad. Not a bad score at all.

-Casablanca?

-Good start, Pete. Low score for a wonderful film. It won the Best Picture Oscar.

Now, Owen. Remember, we are looking for the one word-titled films in which these actors appeared.

-Is this a good subject for you?

-It's a pretty poor subject for me.

Casablanca was my banker.

But I think Keira Knightley and James McAvoy were in a film called Atonement.

-I'm not sure where I got that from, but it's a one-word film and they'd better be in it.

-They better had!

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

Well done. It's right.

24. That's a good score.

APPLAUSE

-Richard?

-Yes, it scores more points than Casablanca, amazingly. From Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, Atonement.

-Thank you very much. Jennifer, is this a good category for you?

-It's not bad. It's not bad.

-There are still some good answers that you know?

-Yeah, I know a few of them.

-Very good.

I'll go with John Travolta and Queen Latifah - Hairspray.

John Travolta and Queen Latifah - Hairspray, says Jennifer.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer - Hairspray.

It's right.

Oh, down it goes, look at that.

10. That's a great answer.

APPLAUSE

Very well done. 10. Hairspray?

Yeah, with John Travolta in some quite serious drag!

Terrific film. There's been two film versions of it and a stage musical too.

-Very good.

-I'm going to be singing You Can't Stop The Beat in my head for the rest of the show.

-Good.

Andy, you're the last person to have this board. You can talk us through it and fill in any gaps you like.

I would love to, but I'm not even sure about an answer.

I was going to go for Hairspray.

I'll have to guess - Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, was it Footloose?

Let's find out. Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, Footloose. Is it right and if it is, how many people knew it?

Bad luck, Andy. That's an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

which is great news for Owen and Jamie who were the high scorers till now.

-Bad luck. Not Footloose.

-Not Footloose and a huge score as well.

-70 points for Ghost.

-Ah!

Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Cher and Nicolas Cage?

-Cher won an Oscar for this film.

-Moonstruck.

-Absolutely right.

Would have scored you 8.

-Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves?

-Speed.

-Absolutely right. That would have scored 57.

And another one scoring 8, Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson?

-Chinatown.

-Very well done if you got that.

-Well done if you got all seven.

-Thanks very much. Let's take a look at those scores.

Quite a wide-ranging field.

Jennifer and Sally, lovely low score of 10 there,

then we come up to 22 where Pete and Declan are, up to 24, Owen and Jamie,

then it's a bit of a hike to 100 where we find Andy and Caroline.

Anything could happen in the next pass. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, we're going to put seven more pairs of actors on the board and here they are.

I'll read those all one more time.

There they all are. We are looking for the one word-titled film

in which these pairs of actors appeared.

You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

Now, Caroline, you're the high scorers on 100.

I'm torn between a couple.

I don't think it's going to be too low,

but I'll have to go for Madonna and Antonio Banderas in Evita.

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

It's right.

25.

APPLAUSE

25 for Evita

which takes your total up to 125

which I hate to tell you is in red on your screen

which means that even if everyone else scores 100 points, you will still be the high scorers.

-Evita is a good answer.

-Yes. Tough luck.

Evita took 18 years from being in the theatre to being in the cinema.

They wrote one new song for the film which was You Must Love Me which won the Oscar for Best Song.

-It reunited Rice and Lloyd Webber?

-They wrote it, yeah.

-That's nice.

-The magic's still there.

-It is nice.

It was a different Rice.

-Anneka?

-Yeah(!)

Sir Anneka Rice.

OK, Sally. Remember, we are looking for the one word-titled films

in which these pairs of actors appeared in the date in brackets.

You are on 10 points. It doesn't matter what you score.

You are through to the next round. Caroline and Andy are so far ahead.

What does that board look like to you?

Maybe there'll be a low-scoring or a pointless answer on that board.

It's a good board. I like it.

I'm a big Woody Allen fan,

so I'm going to go for Meryl Streep and Woody Allen and Manhattan.

OK, Manhattan, Meryl Streep and Woody Allen.

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

Very well done.

Down it goes. Look at that.

4.

-APPLAUSE

-Wow, 4 for Manhattan! That's a great answer, Sally.

-A low score!

-Terrific answer, the lowest score so far.

When he made the film, he thought it was so awful, he asked the studio not to release it.

He said, "I'll make you anything else for free."

-But it's a great film.

-Yeah.

-So what does Woody Allen know about films?

LAUGHTER

-Jamie, it doesn't matter what you say. You are through to the next round.

-Yeah, exactly.

So I'll have a punt at Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington in Aliens.

Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington in Aliens, you are saying.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. No red line as you are through. Aliens...

But who cares? You're through. It scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 124.

-Richard?

-Worth a punt, Jamie. 2009 is the clue there

that it isn't Aliens. And Sam Worthington is not in Aliens. There's your two clues.

Declan, we come to you. It doesn't matter what you say. Even if you score 100 points, you're through.

I know Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio is Titanic, but aside from that, I'm struggling.

But I think I will take a guess at Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington in Stardust.

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

Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

but you are through to the next round anyway.

-Richard?

-That's Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington, two incorrect answers, and as of early 2012,

the highest grossing movie of all time - Avatar is the answer there.

It scored 27 points, so plenty of other people didn't get that one,

as opposed to the second highest grossing movie ever - Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, it's Titanic.

-What do you reckon it scored?

-Probably in the high 90s.

-96 points.

-Wow!

-It would have scored 96 points.

-Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean, 1956?

-Giant.

-Giant. Absolutely.

-It would've scored 10 points. Honor Blackman, Sean Connery?

-Goldfinger.

It would've scored 11. And Jessica Lange and Dustin Hoffman?

-The Tootsie.

-Just Tootsie. And that would've scored 17. Well done if you did well on both of those boards.

Thanks, Richard. So at the end of that round, the losing pair with the highest score is Caroline and Andy.

Films, I'm sorry, not your thing. Korean films would have been fantastic.

But I'm afraid it was just Footloose or as it turns out, not Footloose.

The good news is we will see you again next time. Caroline and Andy, great contestants! Thanks so much.

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round 2.

There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team will leave us at the end of this round.

Our category for Round 2 this afternoon is...

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many US state capitals as they could.

-US state capitals. Richard?

-We want the state capital of any of the US's 50 states.

We won't accept Washington DC which is the national capital. Very best of luck.

Now then, Declan... You are first off the blocks. Is this a good subject for you?

Anything to do with US states, normally, yeah, but not US state capitals, to be honest.

OK, some ideas at this stage?

-Some ideas, yeah.

-But an obscure one is...?

-Is struggling to come.

-Struggling to get through, OK.

Um...

I'll probably go for Chicago, Illinois.

-Chicago, Illinois?

-Yeah.

-OK, that's what Declan is saying.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Chicago, Illinois.

Oh!

Bad luck, Declan, an incorrect answer which, I'm afraid, means you score the maximum of 100 points.

OK, now, Jamie. Remember, we are looking for US state capitals.

I'm debating whether or not to take it safe... I feel confident about Owen on this one, so I think I will.

New York, New York State.

Let's see if New York, New York is correct and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.

Bad luck.

Another incorrect answer.

Sally, we come to you.

I'm not very strong on this, but hopefully, Jennifer will be.

I'm going to play it relatively safe and say Oklahoma City.

-Oklahoma City... Jennifer is nodding there.

-Good.

-OK.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Oklahoma City.

Oh, it's right.

Down it goes, look at that.

1 point!

-APPLAUSE

-A fantastic answer, Sally.

The best of the round so far - 1 point for Oklahoma City.

Very much the best of the round. Capital of Oklahoma.

-The world's first parking meter was installed in Oklahoma City.

-Do you know when that was, Richard?

-Yeah.

-Good.

-LAUGHTER

-1935.

-Wow!

-If memory serves me.

Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

1 is where Sally and Jennifer are, looking great. Jamie and Owen, Declan and Pete on 100.

It's a tussle between Owen and Pete.

Which of you knows your state capitals the best? We'll come back down the line.

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

OK, we are looking for US state capitals.

Now then, Jennifer, you are on 1.

Owen and Jamie, Pete and Declan on 100. If you score 98 or less, you are definitely in the head-to-head.

I'm pretty sure I know most of them,

so I'm tempted to go for a safe one, but then I think I know it,

so I'll go with Lansing which I think is the capital of Michigan.

There is your red line just below the pink line.

Lansing, capital of Michigan - let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.

It's right and you are through to the head-to-head.

Let's see how far down this goes.

Look at that - another 1!

-APPLAUSE

-An exemplary round for Sally and Jennifer.

Excellent. You score 1, it takes your total to 2. Richard?

-That is about as comprehensively as you can get through to Round 2.

-Yes, indeed.

Now, Owen, the match is on.

In that case, I think Bismarck is a state capital.

Bismarck... If it helps, Jennifer is nodding.

That's very reassuring!

Bismarck, says Owen. Let's see if Bismarck is right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

There's no red line for you. You're the joint high scorers.

It's right.

It's right. Down it goes.

Down it continues to go...

To 1! That's a brilliant answer, Owen.

It takes your total up to 101.

-Bismarck?

-Well played. That piece of knowledge was tucked away. What's Bismarck the capital of?

-North Dakota?

-Absolutely right - North Dakota.

Very impressive, Jennifer.

I would give you an extra point, but it doesn't really suit the game.

So then, Pete, the high scorers on 101 are Owen and Jamie.

To be sure of a place in the head-to-head, you need a pointless answer.

We're looking for US state capitals.

The only one I can think of, and I think it's going to be more than 1, would be Richmond.

-Richmond?

-Yeah.

If this scores 1, which quite a few answers in this round have, we may have a tie on our hands.

That would be exciting.

Richmond, says Pete. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Richmond.

It's right.

4.

APPLAUSE

That's a great answer, Pete.

Sadly, it's three points too high. I'm afraid that takes your total up to 104. Richard?

That's a terrific attempt, Pete. It's the capital of Virginia.

There were a bunch of answers that could have drawn with or beaten the guys. Here are some pointless ones.

Carson City is the capital of Nevada.

Columbia is the capital of South Carolina.

Des Moines is the capital of Iowa.

Lincoln is Nebraska, Montpelier is Vermont, Olympia, that's Washington State.

Raleigh, North Carolina, Topeka is the capital city of Kansas, and Trenton is New Jersey.

Now, Chicago, it's not Illinois, it's Springfield.

And New York is not the capital of New York. It's Albany.

Very well done if you got some pointless answers at home.

Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round 2, the losing pair with the highest score is Pete and Declan.

Oh, dear! That was a toughie, wasn't it?

-Yeah, how do you get 2 in that category?

-I don't know.

-That was very impressive.

-Really impressive.

Well, you've done very well. You've come through a pretty testing film round

and this one just saw you off, but we will see you again next time

when I have every confidence we will see much, much more of you.

Pete and Declan, great contestants, thank you!

But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Sally and Jennifer, Owen and Jamie, you have made it to the head-to-head.

You are only one round away from the final and the chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Obviously, only one pair can make it through to the final and play for that money.

To decide which pair it will be, you now go head-to-head.

For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.

Each pair answers just one of them, but you are now allowed to confer.

All you need to do to win that question is score less than the other pair.

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. OK, let's play head-to-head.

APPLAUSE

Here is your first question.

And it concerns...

-Richard?

-We're going to show you five photos of politicians who have been Home Secretary.

What other quiz show do you get that on? All you have to do is find the obscurest to win the point.

OK, let's reveal our five Home Secretaries.

OK, there they all are.

There's your gallery of Home Secretaries.

Sally and Jennifer, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.

You have to pick the Home Secretary that you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

I'm not sure what's the most obscure.

I don't know any of them.

I think we're going to say E, Theresa May.

E, Theresa May. OK, there she is. E, Theresa May.

Owen and Jamie...

-B is Jacqui Smith, A is Blunkett.

-I think Smith is less known than Blunkett.

-I think Jacqui Smith.

You're going to go with Jacqui Smith. So we have Theresa May and we have Jacqui Smith.

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

It's right.

There we are - 33.

33 for Theresa May.

Owen and Jamie have gone for Jacqui Smith.

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

It's right.

And it beats Theresa May.

14.

Very well done.

Only 14 people knew Jacqui Smith, so after our first question, Owen and Jamie are up 1-0. Richard?

Jacqui Smith appointed by Gordon Brown, the first ever female Home Secretary,

Theresa May, the second ever female Home Secretary, under David Cameron.

If you had said David Blunkett which you were tempted to do,

it would have scored you 37 points and lost you the point.

C was one of Thatcher's Home Secretaries. That's Leon Brittan.

That would have scored you 17 points.

The best answer on the board

is D. That is James Callaghan's Home Secretary - Merlyn Rees.

-It would have scored you 1 point.

-There we are.

Here is your second question and it concerns...

The French Revolution. Richard?

We'll give you five clues to people, places or things associated with the French Revolution.

Tell us what they are. The more obscure, the better.

OK, a series of five clues and here they come...

I'll read them out one more time.

OK, there are your clues.

Owen and Jamie, you are going first this time.

You want to find the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

WHISPERING

-I think so.

-Yeah, go for it.

The King who was executed in 1793,

we think is Louis XVI.

OK, Louis XVI.

Sally and Jennifer?

I think we're going to go for the military leader and Charles de Gaulle?

Charles de Gaulle.

It could be wrong. I'm not sure.

OK, Charles de Gaulle.

We have Louis XVI or Louis Seize.

-Louis "seize" relax!

-LAUGHTER

Louis Seize - let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Louis Seize.

-8.

-APPLAUSE

8 for Louis Seize. Sally and Jennifer have gone for Charles de Gaulle.

You have to win this point to stay in the game.

When I saw you grinning from ear to ear,

-I thought that was because the French Revolution was right up your street.

-No, not good.

-OK.

-That was the other kind of grin.

-Yes.

You have said the military leader born in Corsica, 1769 - Charles de Gaulle.

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

-Bad luck.

-We knew it was wrong, I think.

-I had no idea.

-Bad luck.

That is an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

so after only two questions, Owen and Jamie are through to the final.

-Richard?

-Charles de Gaulle was a 20th century French President, named after Paris's airport.

-Yes.

-LAUGHTER

-Let's take a look at the rest of the answers on the board.

-The instrument of execution?

-Guillotine.

-The guillotine.

It would have scored...62 points.

Let's do the military leader. It's not Charles de Gaulle.

It's Napoleon. Would have scored you 37 points,

so it wouldn't have won you the points. The anthem written by Rouget de L'Isle?

-Marseillaise.

-La Marseillaise. Would have scored 14.

The answer that would have beaten the guys was the first President of the Committee of Public Safety -

-very well done, 4 points, if you said Georges Danton.

-Danton.

-Yeah.

There we are. Thank you very much.

So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, it's Sally and Jennifer.

Head-to-head last time and this time. You've cruised through, then been thwarted at the last minute.

-I know.

-I know.

-It's unfair.

-Oh, well...

I'm sorry we haven't seen you right through to the final, but you've played fantastically well.

Sally and Jennifer, excellent contestants! Thank you.

But for Owen and Jamie, it's time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Owen and Jamie. You have fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

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

We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only have to find one now to go home with that money.

First you've got to choose a category and you have a choice of five categories.

And your options are...

-You're good on Football Managers.

-I'd hope I'd be reasonably good on Football Managers.

-Is there anything you'd be strong on?

-Yeah, but not the four after that, so yeah, Football Managers.

Football Managers, it is. Let's find out what your question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many UEFA Champions League winning managers as they could. Richard?

We're looking for any manager who has won the Champions League

from when it was first played in 1992-93 through to the 2011 final.

We're looking for the man who was in charge of the team on the day the final was won. First and last names.

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

and all you need to win that £3,000 jackpot is for one of those answers to be pointless. Ready?

We'll put 60 seconds on the clock and your time starts now.

We can discount anything recent, for example, Mourinho or Benitez.

I think Barcelona won it under Rijkaard, so I think Rijkaard's a shout.

I'm trying to think of pre-2000. Who was the manager for Leverkusen when they won it or Munich?

-Was it Ottmar Hitzfeld?

-Potentially. We can have that as one.

-I think he might have been the Munich manager.

-We can have Hitzfeld, Rijkaard.

-Yeah.

-Anything earlier than that?

-Did Ajax win? Bosveld or someone?

-I don't know.

-Dortmund won it. Didn't they beat Liverpool in '97?

-No, that was AC Milan under Ancelotti.

-We can have Ancelotti.

-Didn't Dortmund win it?

-That might have been the UEFA Cup.

-Dortmund didn't beat us in a final.

-OK.

So shall we say Rijkaard, Hitzfeld and...?

-I think Mark Bosveld.

-Bosveld?

-Mark Bosveld.

But we'll go with that first. I'm not sure it's right.

You have your three. We were looking for UEFA Champions League winning managers.

We're going to say Mark Bosveld.

-Mark Bosveld.

-I think that's the surname of a Dutch manager, but it's an out-and-out punt.

Frank Rijkaard.

-Frank Rijkaard.

-And Ottmar Hitzfeld.

-And "Opmar" Hitzfeld.

-Ottmar.

-I love this.

-Sorry.

I just make the same noise as you. I have no idea.

I'm saying, "Right-Guard?" There's a manager named after deodorant? I love this.

Of those three, which do you think is your best punt at a pointless answer?

I know Rijkaard won it, but I think that's a fairly obvious one.

-Shall we go with Rijkaard anyway?

-I say I know Rijkaard won it...

-We'll put him last, shall we?

-OK.

-And we'll go Hitzfeld second.

-Hitzfeld second.

-And Bosveld...

-And Bosveld first.

-His fault.

-Let's put them up on the board in that order.

-It's worth a try.

-Yeah.

And here they are.

There we are.

OK, we were looking for UEFA Champions League winning managers.

Mark Bosveld was your least confident shot at a pointless answer. You only have to find one

to win that £3,000 jackpot.

Let's see. Mark Bosveld, is it right and if it is right, how many people said it? Mark Bosveld...

It's not right.

-Why did you think that wasn't right?

-Because I probably just made the name up in my head.

OK, not a pointless answer. Not a correct answer, in fact.

You only have two more chances to win that jackpot, but only one of them needs to be right.

Bosveld was just a place-filler. You knew that. He knows that.

-If he exists.

-LAUGHTER

OK, what would you do with three grand?

Probably put it towards a car.

-I think.

-It's got to help uni.

That's a couple of nights out, isn't it?

OK, right, we were looking for UEFA Champions League winning managers.

Let's hope nobody said your next answer - Ottmar Hitzfeld. This has to be right and pointless.

If it's both of those things, you'll be leaving here with £3,000.

Ottmar Hitzfeld - is it right, how many people said it?

It's right.

Ottmar is right.

Mark Bosveld was wrong. Ottmar Hitzfeld is right.

Down it goes into the teens. Into single figures. Down it goes.

4!

-APPLAUSE

-4.

-It's a cracking answer.

-That's that. More people will know Frank Rijkaard than Ottmar Hitzfeld.

-Really?

-Yeah.

It's reassuring that I'm not imagining more people.

-Are you now thinking of lots of people you should have submitted?

-Possibly.

-One or two.

But they're probably quite well known as well.

We were looking for UEFA Champions League winning managers.

You said this was your best shot at a pointless answer.

-You've changed your minds now.

-We weren't sure if the first two were right.

-We'll see.

There might have been a moment of amnesia among our 100 people.

This is your last shot at today's jackpot. It has to be pointless.

Frank Rijkaard, is it right, how many people said it?

OK, it's right. We went down to 4 with Hitzfeld.

If this goes down to zero, you leave here with £3,000 between you.

Down it goes into the teens, into single figures, still going down.

Oh, look at that!

APPLAUSE

Oh, that's so annoying!

That's so unfair.

-One person knew.

-We thought more people would know.

-We thought lots of people would know that.

That was quite exciting. Anything could have happened.

-But it didn't.

-No, anything did. Just not...

-Exactly.

You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

so you don't win today's jackpot which rolls over to the next show,

but you have been brilliant contestants and you take home our Pointless trophy. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

-I'm afraid this is the tough bit.

-We'll kick ourselves.

-Yeah. Richard?

-Good answers. Ottmar Hitzfeld won it with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

-But not against Liverpool.

Frank Rijkaard won it for Barcelona.

Mark Bosveld, I haven't heard of.

Paul Bosvelt played for Holland. I can't think of anyone else.

There's only three pointless answers. One I suspect you will know, two are slightly harder.

Let's take a look at all of them.

-Vicente del Bosque...

-Del Bosque, there we go.

Vicente del Bosque won it in 2000 and 2002 with Real Madrid.

Jupp Heynckes won it with Real Madrid as well in '98

and Raymond Goethals won the first one with Marseille in 1993.

Very well done if you said any of those at home.

-You knew two of those?

-We knew del Bosque, yeah.

-We both said it after the time.

You were only one away with Rijkaard. You were very, very close.

-It's still a loss.

-Ah, well... You still get a Pointless trophy.

-True.

-The COVETED Pointless trophy.

Unfortunately, we must say goodbye to Owen and Jamie, but it's been brilliant having you on the show.

Thank you for playing. Excellent contestants!

APPLAUSE

Sadly, Owen and Jamie didn't win our jackpot,

which means on the next show, we will be playing for £4,000.

APPLAUSE

-Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me.

Oh, bad luck.
