0:00:14 > 0:00:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Now, welcome back, Robyn and Sam. You were on the show last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is your second and final chance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Now, Robyn, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We're boyfriend and girlfriend and we met at university.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- And Sam, what happened last time? - We did well on the first round.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- We got the lowest score in the first round.- Cracking score!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And then TV Hospitals came up on the second round.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02That was the hardest board we've ever had.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I wouldn't have lasted a minute on that round. Didn't know a thing.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09But today, Robyn, we're going to see much more of you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12What's going to be your favourite category, if it comes up?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Maybe a bit of music. I like listening to music.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Or I've just done a placement, cos I'm doing a PGCE,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and I've actually been teaching things like myths and legends
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and the Tudors, so I know that quite well at the moment. So if something like that came up...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27OK. And this is to be a primary school teacher?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Yes.- Perfect grounding for Pointless, you see. Excellent.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Sam, what are you hoping will come up today?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Films. I usually do well on films. - Sam, any hobbies?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Music, playing music. I play the guitar and I play the drums as well,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41so I used to do that quite a lot.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- You could just do it all yourself, for heaven's sake.- I could do.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- You haven't got a home studio, have you?- Unfortunately, no.- No. - No, I don't. No.- You need it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48- Yeah.- Very good.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Robyn and Sam, great to have you back on the show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's hope we see more of you than we did last time.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And next, we welcome Sue and Annette.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Now, how do you two know each other? - We're sisters.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Sisters. And Sue, where are you from?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- I live near Winchester in Hampshire. - Annette, how about you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- I live in Norfolk, in a village just outside Norwich.- Excellent.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07And would you do, Annette?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm a probation officer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13OK, and what you like to get up to when you're not...probating?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:18When I'm not probating, I like to play volleyball,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and I'm a great reader as well.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Sue, what do you do?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm a paramedic. Emergency care practitioner.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Very good indeed. Down in Hampshire?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Yeah, at Basingstoke in Hampshire. - Basingstoke, excellent.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32What do you like to do when you're not working?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We both have a hobby that Annette didn't mention.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38We're both assistant leaders at Brownie packs.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Are you? That's brilliant.- I'm Tawny Owl, Annette's Snowy Owl.- Wow!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, many congratulations.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47So, Sue, good topics for you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Probably the human body. - Human body, yeah, yeah. Medicine.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Would be very useful, but I'm sure that won't come up.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- And, well, geography I'm reasonable at.- Good.- Not very good at art.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Annette, how about you? What's going to be good for you? Obviously, books.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Yeah, I used to be a nurse, so I'm also quite strong on medicine and biology science.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Welcome to you both, Sue and Annette. Lovely to have you here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And next, we welcome... This is just becoming a habit.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Having pairs where they have the same name.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Andrew D and Andrew B, welcome to the show.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19- How do you two know each other? - We work together in car insurance.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20- Car insurance?- Yeah.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Which department are you in?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- I work in complaints. Well, we both work in complaints.- Complaints.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Andrews, when you're not doing car insurance, or basically, listening to people shouting at you,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- what do you like to get up to? Andrew D?- I like to play music,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- I play a couple of instruments reasonably well.- What do you play?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Primarily, I play bass guitar.- Yeah? - I play guitar a bit as well.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- And I listen to quite a bit of it as well.- Any good on classical music?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm OK on classical music.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50And modern music, I lost interest about three or four years ago.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Right.- But '90s music, perfect. - '90s music?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- That would be great? - That would be perfect.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Andrew B, what do you like to get up to?- Go to the cinema,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I watch huge amounts of sports, ranging from football...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- I quite like my American football as well.- Oh, good. Very good.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Very, very best of luck to you, Andrews. Great to have you here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11And finally, we've got Sally and Robert. Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- How do you to know each other? - We're married.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- LAUGHTER - Good.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Very good in...- 18 years.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- 18 years. And where did you meet, Sally?- Behind the curtain.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24LAUGHTER
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Amateur dramatics.- Oh, I see! Very good.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Sally, where are you from?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Buckinghamshire.- Buckinghamshire. And what do you do, Robert?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39I'm retired nowadays. Have been for about 12 years.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Sally, would do you do? - I'm a part-time cook.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Are you? For whom?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I work for a local sports and squash club.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- That's good. And do you enjoy that? - I do. I love it, yeah.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And what other hobbies do you have, Robert?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I'm very interested in natural history,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and in particular, butterflies and moths.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I used to collect them, but that's something which people don't do now,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05and so I collect books on them instead,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08of which I calculated I've got over 300 on the shelves at home.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11And what else do you collect? Do you collect other bits and pieces?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh, now we get on to the sad side of it,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16because I've made collections of some quite unusual things,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20of which I think perhaps paperclips is the saddest one.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You COLLECT paperclips?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Wow, OK.- He actually brought it with him today.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29For luck?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31LAUGHTER
0:05:31 > 0:05:34No. One of the programme researchers was very interested,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36but she's not here today, apparently.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yes, I'm...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41LAUGHTER
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Right, well, back to the show.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- What categories would you like to see come up, Sally?- Penguins.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I can name...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I can name all species of penguins. - This is brilliant!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Only one person left to introduce. He's tied to his desk again.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, we tied his shoelaces to his chair.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hiya. Hello.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12CHEERING
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Well, that was an unexpected chat, wasn't it?- Wasn't it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Don't think we've had penguins and paperclips as things people have asked for before.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We're not going to do them on the show, but it's interesting.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Only one returning pair today, it's Robyn and Sam.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30We didn't see much of them last time either, but they did rather well
0:06:30 > 0:06:34in the rounds they were in, so I suspect they may do well today.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40All questions on Pointless are put to 100 people before the show, but we're looking for obscure answers.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45all our players need to is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Now, what everyone is trying to do, is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51That being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00So, today's jackpot starts off at...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13APPLAUSE
0:07:13 > 0:07:17OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21The pair with the highest score at the end is eliminated.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score a maximum 100 points,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28so do try and avoid those.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30OK, our first category is...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37who's going to go second.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK, so, our Round One question concerns...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Song Titles Which Are Girls' Names.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Yeah, we're going to show you seven song titles on each pass.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56All you have to do is tell us the artist who first had
0:07:56 > 0:07:58a UK top 40 hit with that song.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Very best of luck. There's 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Thanks very much. Now, then, Robyn and Sam.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09You all drew lots, and once again, today, you are going first.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12OK, so we are looking for the artists or groups
0:08:12 > 0:08:15who first had UK top 40 hits with these songs.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16And we have got...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'll read them all one more time.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31There we are. Robyn.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Yeah. I got really excited when I heard the name of the round,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36cos I thought I'd be really good at this.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38But looking at that, I only know one,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and I'm not even 100% sure about that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46I'm going to go with Delilah and Tom Jones.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Delilah, Tom Jones, says Robyn. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Tom Jones.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Absolutely right.
0:08:57 > 0:08:5852.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01APPLAUSE
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That's not bad. 52 for Delilah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09A safe answer, Robyn. A number two hit for Tom Jones in 1968.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Thanks very much. Now then, Sue.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Yes.- Your name is on that board.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It is.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18But, I think... I think I know a couple of them.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm going to go Barbara Ann, the Beach Boys.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Barbara Ann, the Beach Boys, says Sue.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Let's see if that was sung by the Beach Boys, and if so,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29how many people knew that answer.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30It is.
0:09:35 > 0:09:3619.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39APPLAUSE
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Very well done. 19 for the Beach Boys.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Well played, Sue. Actually a cover version. A cover version of a song
0:09:44 > 0:09:48by The Regents, but the Beach Boys had the first UK top 40 hit with it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Number three hit.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Excellent. Andrew B.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Remember, we're looking for artists or groups who had UK top 40 hits
0:09:55 > 0:09:57with these songs.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Think I'm going to play it safe and say Nikita, Elton John.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Nikita, Elton John. Sally furious with that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04LAUGHTER
0:10:04 > 0:10:09She was going to go for that. OK, Nikita, Elton John, says Andrew B.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many
0:10:11 > 0:10:13of our 100 people said Elton John.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15It's right.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2130.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23APPLAUSE
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Perfectly respectable score there, Andrew B.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Good answer. Number three in 1985, with a video directed by Ken Russell.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Really?- Mm.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Now then, Sally. I know your pain.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- You've just had your answer stolen. - I have, yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think, though, you might owe Andrew B something,
0:10:38 > 0:10:43cos he might force you into coming up with something you perhaps
0:10:43 > 0:10:46half know that'll be a lower score. Talk us through the board.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Last person to have it, so you can do your thinking out loud.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, I think Peggy Sue is Buddy Holly.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Caroline - Neil Diamond?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm going to go Peggy Sue, Buddy Holly.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Buddy Holly, says Sally for Peggy Sue.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Hopefully.- Let's see if it's right,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and if so, let's see how many people said Buddy Holly for Peggy Sue.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Absolutely right.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- 22. - APPLAUSE
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Not bad at all, Sally.
0:11:15 > 0:11:1722 for Buddy Holly.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Well played, Sally. Surprisingly low score, actually. From 1957.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It was originally called Cindy Lou, after his niece.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Ah!- They renamed it Peggy Sue after the...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- You know, "C-C-C-C-C-Cindy Lou" would send weird.- Yeah, exactly.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Sound like a Phil Collins song. - It would, yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35They named it Peggy Sue after Jerry Allison -
0:11:35 > 0:11:38the drummer in The Crickets - after his girlfriend.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Let's go through the rest of the board. Now, Jolene...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Do you know Jolene? - Yes, Olivia Newton-John.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Not Olivia Newton-John. Dolly Parton.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Dolly Parton.- Dolly Parton! - Yeah, 45 points as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52God, of course it's Dolly Parton!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Caroline. Caroline's not Neil Diamond. That's Sweet Caroline.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Status Quo.- Status Quo. That's it, well done. You got that soon enough!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Yeah, yeah.- Six points. And Rosanna - do you know Rosanna?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- It's from 1983.- Yes, I know!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's one of those American bands.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08It's sort of like Chicago or...
0:12:08 > 0:12:12It's almost exactly sort of like Chicago. Toto.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So Rosanna and Caroline, best answers on that board.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Very well done if you got those.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18We're halfway through the round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 19, the best score, Sue.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Very well done. Then we travel up to 22, where we find Sally and Robert.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Up to 30, where we find the Andrews both.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33And then up to 52, where we find Robyn and Sam.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37So Sam, this is going to be a familiar position for you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You are going to have the last pick of this board.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43You need to hope there's an answer that you know and it's a low scorer
0:12:43 > 0:12:45and hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54We'll put seven more song titles on the board, and here they are.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We have got...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'll read those one more time.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Remember, we're looking for the artists or groups who first had UK top 40 hits with these songs
0:13:15 > 0:13:19and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Now then, Robert, you're on 22. The high-scorers on 52 are Sam and Robyn.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30A score of 29 or less will ensure you a place in the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'd rather have had the first board. This one's not doing a lot for me.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39But I'm going to have to go for Maggie May and Rod Stewart.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Maggie May and Rod Stewart. Sally approves of that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Here's our red line.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Maggie May. Is it Rod Stewart? How many people said it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:5451.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55APPLAUSE
0:13:58 > 0:14:0151 takes your score up to 73. Richard.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02A hefty score but a lot better than 100.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06His first substantial hit as a solo performer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- It launched him as a solo performer. - Andrew D.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13We're looking for the artists or groups who first had a top 40 hit with these songs.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16You're on 30. The high scorers are now Robert and Sally on 73.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20If you can score 42 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23There's a couple I'm pretty confident on.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27This is a good category for you, cos you play lots of instruments.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yeah. I'm going to go for Lyla, Oasis.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Lyla, Oasis.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Three up from the bottom. Lyla, Oasis. There is your red line.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40You get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Let's see. Is Lyla an Oasis song? How many people said it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yep, it is.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And you are through to the next round.
0:14:50 > 0:14:5114.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52APPLAUSE
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Cracking answer there, Andrew D.
0:14:55 > 0:14:5814 takes your total up to 44. Richard.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- It was Oasis's seventh number one single, Lyla.- Annette.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The high scorers are still Robert and Sally on 73.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09You are on 19, which means if you can score 53 or less,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12you are definitely in the next round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15There's an obvious one there but I think that will be too high a score
0:15:15 > 0:15:17so I'll have to take a bit of a guess.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I recognise Sandy but I'm not sure it's the right version,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24but John Travolta sang it in Grease so I'm hoping it's John Travolta.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27John Travolta, you're saying, singing Sandy.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Here's your red Line. Let's see, John Travolta, Sandy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Is that right and if it is, how many people said it? Good luck.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Absolutely right.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42And you're through to the next round. Very well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:4621. Takes your total up to 40, the lowest total of the round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Very well done indeed. - Very well played, Annette.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51That was a risk well worth taking.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Number two hit from 1978. It's from Grease, of course.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Sam.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00You are on 52. The high scorers at the moment are Robert and Sally on 73.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05If you can score 20 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Robyn is shaking her head. Prove her wrong. Talk us through the board.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10There was only two on there I knew.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I knew Lyla and then there's an obvious one at the bottom
0:16:13 > 0:16:17which everybody has avoided - Billie Jean, which I think is Michael Jackson.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I think that's going to be too high.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21So I think I'll have to take a guess.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I think it's the only way I might get through.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm going to say Angie.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Er... Billy Joel.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Angie. Billy Joel. Sounds good to me. There's your red line.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Angie, Billy Joel.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Let's see if that is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Who knows. Maybe it is.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Bad luck.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which scores you 100 points.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49That takes your total up to an unbeatable 152. Sorry, Sam.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Unlucky, Sam. Do you know who Angie is by?- No.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Rolling Stones.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57That would've scored you 16 points. It would've been a great answer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Billie Jean would not have saved you
0:16:59 > 0:17:03but it would have scored a pretty hefty 83 points.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Carrie-Anne is by The Hollies. That would have scored you five.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10And the best answer on the board is Diana. Any idea on that?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- No.- Paul Anka. That would've scored you four points.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Very well done if you got Carrie-Anne or Diana. Best answers on the board.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22The end of our first round, the losing pair with the highest score...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Oh, Robyn and Sam!
0:17:25 > 0:17:29You're our returners, our returning pair. That was just hard, though.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You didn't know anything and you did exactly the right thing,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35you didn't go for the answer you knew would be a high scorer.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Round two last time, round one this time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Sam and Robyn, I'm afraid it's goodbye.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Thank you so much for playing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43APPLAUSE
0:17:43 > 0:17:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:17:55 > 0:18:00so one of the teams in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Our category for round two is Formula 1.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09The only people who don't look distraught by that are the two Andrews.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many nationalities
0:18:23 > 0:18:27of Formula 1 world champions as they could. Richard.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30We're looking for any nationality, other than British, of any person
0:18:30 > 0:18:34who's been Formula 1 world racing champion
0:18:34 > 0:18:37from 1951 all the way through to 2011, please.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Very best of luck. - OK. Now then, Annette.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Is this a good category for you? - No.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47No, it's not. I'm trying to think of some world champions I do know.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I'll go with Brazilian.- Brazilian.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53OK, let's see if that's a correct answer and if it is,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57let's see how many of our 100 people said Brazilian.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Absolutely right.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0337.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04APPLAUSE
0:19:07 > 0:19:0837 for Brazilian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well played, Annette. That's damage limitation.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Three Brazilian world champions. Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and Emerson Fittipaldi.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21Andrew D. What is the most obscure nationality of a Formula 1 champion you can think of?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26I've got a couple of ideas but there's a distinct chance they'll be wrong.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Quite a high score, first. I think I'll play it safe and say German.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Sally. Every time when Andrew gives an answer,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Sally has this tick where she goes, "Gah!"
0:19:36 > 0:19:37LAUGHTER
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, you're going to play it safe.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- And say German.- And say German.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Play it safe and say German.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well let's see if that's a correct answer and if so,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49let's see how many of our 100 people said German.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5556.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56APPLAUSE
0:20:00 > 0:20:0256. That's all kinds of safe, 56.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel are the two German world champions.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08OK, Sally.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14They're the only two that I knew, so I'll have to have a guess.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'll go for Italy.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Italy.- Yes.- Italian.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22OK, Sally is saying Italian. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24let's see how many people said it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26There you are. Andrew D did you a favour.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3122.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:37You see? The same score as round one, the lowest score of the pass.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41They love Formula 1 in Italy, but have only ever had two world champions,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and the last time was 1953.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Haven't had a world champion in nearly 60 years. Isn't that amazing?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Isn't that amazing? Thank you very much.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51We're halfway through the round.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:20:54 > 0:20:5722, Sally. Lovely position that Andrew forced you into.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Otherwise you'd have said German and you'd be the highest scorers!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05And then up to 37, where we find Annette and Sue,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and then up to 56, where we see the Andrews.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Very high score courtesy of your German answer there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Andrew B, you have a job to do in the next pass
0:21:14 > 0:21:17to make sure we see you after this round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19OK, good luck with that.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29We're looking for the nationalities of Formula 1 champions.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Robert, thanks to Sally's answer, you're looking very strong on 22.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36The high scorers are the Andrews on 56,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38which means if you can score 33 or less,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41you are through to the next round comfortably.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46I'm torn between what I think is probably a safe answer
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and one that I think is right...
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I believe Graham Hill was a New Zealander.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53New Zealand.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Sally's brow is knitted, I'm not going to lie to you, Robert.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02There's your red line. Graham Hill. Was he a New Zealander?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Let's find out.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's true! He was! Look at that!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Very, very well done indeed.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13That's a great answer. Robert, look at that!
0:22:13 > 0:22:14APPLAUSE
0:22:16 > 0:22:21A spectacular answer. The best score of the game so far.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Takes your total up to 24. - Robert, can I ask you a question?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Do you have any lucky paperclips?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27LAUGHTER
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I must have but I didn't know about it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34You really must have, cos Graham Hill was born in North London,
0:22:34 > 0:22:39but 1967 world Formula 1 champion Denny Hulme was born in New Zealand.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40LAUGHTER
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Still, fortune favours the brave. - Doesn't it! Anyway.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Thank you very much, Richard. What a great answer. Brilliant.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Andrew B. You know what you have to do.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57We need a very low score from you.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You're the high scorers on 56 at the moment.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I've got a few obscure ones, I think.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I am pretty sure Mika Hakkinen won it in the 1990s
0:23:05 > 0:23:06and I'll say Finnish.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Finnish. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12let's see how many people said Finnish. No red line for you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Yep. Absolutely right.
0:23:20 > 0:23:2114.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22APPLAUSE
0:23:23 > 0:23:2714, Andrew, takes your total up to 70. Richard.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Three Finnish world champions. Mika Hakkinen won it twice.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Kimi Raikkonen, and Keke Rosberg as well.
0:23:32 > 0:23:39Sue. Now then, the high scorers at the moment are the Andrews on 70.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44You're on 37, which means 32 or less will keep you in the game.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47You can do your thinking out loud if you like.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51What I'm thinking is that my husband will be sat at home shouting at the television.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Don't think about that so much, no. - And I haven't got a clue.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Because as Annette says...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00A reasoned guess, then.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I think Niki Lauda might have done and I think he might've been Austrian.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06There's your red line, Sue. Niki Lauda, Austrian.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Austrian is all we need. Let's see if that's right,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's right!
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You've done it! It's still going down, 13.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22APPLAUSE
0:24:22 > 0:24:2513 takes your total up to a nice round 50. Richard.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Very well played.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You've actually got the lowest score of any of the teams that haven't
0:24:30 > 0:24:33had a fluke in one of their answers, which is terrific.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Niki Lauda was three-time world champion.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Jochen Rindt was also an Austrian world champion.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40There's no pointless answers at all.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44The best answer, actually, we've already had from Robert, which was New Zealand.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49South African, Jody Scheckter won the world title. He was for three points.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Canadian would've scored eight, Jacques Villeneuve.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Let's look at the most popular answers.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Spanish would've scored you 30.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Annette gave us the next one up, Brazilian.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And we've already seen the one right at the top, Andrew gave us German.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Other answers you could've given - American, Argentinian, Australian and French.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Very well done if you got all of those at home.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Thanks, Richard. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score -
0:25:17 > 0:25:19it's the Andrews.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Andrew B, Andrew D, we look forward to seeing you next time.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26It's been great having you. Sorry we have to say goodbye so soon.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Great contestants.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29APPLAUSE
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But for the remaining two pairs,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35it's about to get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Congratulations, Sue and Annette, Sally and Robert.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You are now only one round away from the final
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and a chance to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £5,500.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Obviously, only one pair can play for that money
0:25:56 > 0:26:01so to decide which pair, you're now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05That means the first pair to win two questions will be playing
0:26:05 > 0:26:08for that jackpot, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18OK, here comes your first question.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22It concerns UK Foreign Secretaries. Richard.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26We're going to show you five photos of people who've been appointed Foreign Secretary.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Can you name the most obscure? - OK, thanks, Richard.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Let's reveal our five Foreign Secretaries, and here they come.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53There we are. Sue and Annette played best throughout the show so far,
0:26:53 > 0:26:54so you get to go first.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57We're struggling a bit on this one.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02We're going to try A, he's now Lord Carrington.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Lord Carrington. A, Lord Carrington.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Now then, Sally and Robert. Lord Carrington has been said.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12You can also have another crack at A. You can talk out-loud.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We're recognising faces but can't put names to them,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18which is a nuisance.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22William Hague. We'll go for B and William Hague.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You'll say B, William Hague.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26We have Sue and Annette saying A is Lord Carrington.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- It's absolutely right. Very, very well done.- Brilliant.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Brilliant. There's your reward.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43APPLAUSE
0:27:44 > 0:27:4813 for Lord Carrington. Great answer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Sally and Robert are saying B, William Hague.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Let's see how many people said B was William Hague.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59It's obviously right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Yes. 65. Sue and Annette, very well done for taking that risk.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12It's paid off because after one question, you are ahead 1-0.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Lord Carrington was Mrs Thatcher's first Foreign Secretary.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18William Hague, David Cameron's first Foreign Secretary.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19C would've won you the point.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22C was Jim Callaghan's Foreign Secretary, Tony Crosland.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25He would've scored you one point, so he would've been a terrific answer.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Well done to anyone who said that at home.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31D, Margaret Beckett, who was Foreign Secretary under Tony Blair,
0:28:31 > 0:28:35and she took over from E. He would've scored you 42 points.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38William Hague, the biggest answer on the board there.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Sally and Robert, we need you to win this question,
0:28:44 > 0:28:45if you're going to stay in the game.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47It concerns...
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Merseyside.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54We're going to show you five clues to facts about Merseyside, Liverpool, and its environs.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Can you give us the answer to the most obscure of these, please?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Let's reveal our five clues to fact about Merseyside.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35There we are. Five clues to facts about Merseyside.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Sally and Robert, you go first this time.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Well, we think the football team named the Toffees is Everton.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Everton.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47OK, you're going to say Everton for the Toffees.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Sue and Annette.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Well, we know Knotty Ash's leader of the Diddymen is Ken Dodd.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But that's probably fairly high-scoring, isn't it?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57The artist of the statues on Crosby Beach...
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I went to see them last year, and I can't remember his name at all!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's completely gone! I'm racking my brains.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The four-time PM... I don' think we know that one either, do we?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08So we're going to have to go with Ken Dodd, yeah?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11We'll have to go with Ken Dodd. It's the only answer we do know.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yeah, Knotty Ash's leader of the Diddymen, Ken Dodd.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Knotty Ash's leader of the Diddymen, Ken Dodd. OK.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18So we have the Toffees, Everton.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Are you sure, or is that a bit of a punt?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- I think I've heard it. - You're pretty sure of that.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Sally and Robert are saying Toffees is a nickname for Everton.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Let's see if that's right,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Ooh, 69.- Oh, no!
0:30:35 > 0:30:38APPLAUSE
0:30:38 > 0:30:4269 for Everton.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So Sue and Annette, you have named Ken Dodd as Knotty Ash's
0:30:45 > 0:30:47leader of the Diddymen. Ken Dodd.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51It's right. Will it go down below...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53oh, ho-ho! Wow!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56THEY LAUGH
0:30:56 > 0:30:58APPLAUSE
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ah, this is the best outcome!
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Much more exciting!
0:31:01 > 0:31:03So that means, Sally and Robert,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06after two questions, you are absolutely even.
0:31:06 > 0:31:071-all. Richard?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Yes, that lucky paperclip again!
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Let's take a look at the other three answers.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14They all would have won the point.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17The model village was built by William Lever of Lever Bros
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and later, Unilever, Port Sunlight.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20It would've scored ten points.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22The artist of the statues of Crosby Beach,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25the same sculptor who did the Angel of the North.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26- She's remembered now! - Antony Goulman?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Antony Gormley.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30So you wouldn't have got it, I'm afraid.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Two points, that would have scored you.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Would have seen you safely through.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And the four-time PM born on Rodney Street in Liverpool
0:31:36 > 0:31:37is William Gladstone.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40And that would've scored you one. So very well done
0:31:40 > 0:31:42to anyone who got all five of those.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Thank you, Richard. Here is your third question.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Your decider. Whoever wins this goes to the final
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Here it comes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51OK, it concerns...
0:31:53 > 0:31:54..Famous Architects.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56We're going to show you the names of five architects,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58but we're only showing you the first letters
0:31:58 > 0:32:00and last letters of each of their names.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Can you fill in the gaps, please?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So let's reveal our five architects with bits missing.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07So we have...
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I'll read them one last time.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Five architects. Now then, Sue and Annette,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46you go first this time.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47We only know the top two,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49and I think the second one is more obvious.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52So we'll go for the top one, which is Norman Foster.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55OK, you're going to say Norman Foster.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Sally and Robert.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Well...
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Christopher Wren.- We recognise Christopher Wren, the second one.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02But we're going for the bottom one,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04which is Frank Lloyd Wright.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Frank Lloyd Wright. OK.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11So we have Norman Foster and we have Frank Lloyd Wright.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15This will decide who leaves us this round,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18and who goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Now, in the order they were given, Sue and Annette
0:33:21 > 0:33:23have gone for Norman Foster. Norman Foster.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Let's see if that's right,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Yep, it's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Wow, ten!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39APPLAUSE
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Ten for Norman Foster.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43That's low!
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Yeah, lower than I thought it would be!
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Sally and Robert have gone for Frank Lloyd Wright at the bottom there.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:33:51 > 0:33:55let's see how many people said Frank Lloyd Wright.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57It's right.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00It has to go down below ten.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Will it do that?
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Ooh!
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- APPLAUSE - 21!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Wow, 21 for Frank Lloyd Wright.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Which means, after three questions, Sue and Annette,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Very well played.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Norman Foster designed London City Hall,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22the Gherkin, Stansted Airport.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25To fill in the rest of them, Christopher Wren, absolutely right.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But it would've scored you a fairly hefty 43.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30That next one down looks rude!
0:34:30 > 0:34:31It's actually Frank Gehry,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34who designed the Guggenheim in Bilbao, as well as many other things.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35It would've scored six points.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38And this one is the best answer on the board by a mile.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40It's the Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42who designed a lot of Brasilia.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Like the president's palace and all sorts of buildings there.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And he would've scored you two points.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Very well done to anybody who got those.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Sally and Robert.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I suppose it's because it was... his middle name was spelt out.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59I suppose that must be the reason.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I thought you were going to run away with that one.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03I thought so!
0:35:03 > 0:35:06We'll look forward to seeing you next time, Sally and Robert.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07And I have every confidence you will
0:35:07 > 0:35:10make it through to the head-to-head again.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Anyway, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15APPLAUSE
0:35:15 > 0:35:18For Sue and Annette, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Well, congratulations, Sue and Annette,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27you have fought off all the competition and you have won
0:35:27 > 0:35:29our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done!
0:35:35 > 0:35:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:37 > 0:35:41and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,500.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:45 > 0:35:47The rules are very simple.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56You only have to find one, and you will leave with that £5,500.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58First thing, you've got to choose a category.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You can choose from these five options. They are...
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Horse Racing, Carry On Stars,
0:36:04 > 0:36:09Statistics, Playwrights, Pop Stars.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11What do you think?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Do you know any Carry On stars?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14- No, Carry On was never...- Nothing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Shall we go pop stars, then?
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Pop stars, I think.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19You're going to go pop stars?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- By default, yes!- Very best of luck!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:24 > 0:36:26to name as many
0:36:26 > 0:36:32solo UK top 40 hits by members of the Spice Girls as they could.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Richard?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We're looking for any UK top 40 single to feature
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Mel C, Mel B, or Emma Bunton, up to the end of 2011,
0:36:40 > 0:36:44outside of their work with The Spice Girls.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Very, very best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:52 > 0:36:53and all you need to win that £5,500
0:36:53 > 0:36:55is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Can you think of any?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I know Mel C did one with Bryan Adams,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07but I can't remember what it was called.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Baby, When You're Gone? That was the first line.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11# Baby, when you're gone. #
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- I can't think.- Geri Halliwell?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I don't remember her doing anything.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Emma Bunton? Posh Spice? Nope.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Geri Halliwell, I can...
0:37:23 > 0:37:27She didn't do It's Raining Men or something like that? A cover of it?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29We'll try it. Let's try that one.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31And who's the other one? I've forgotten her name.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Emma Bunton did one.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Scary Spice...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I've no idea what Scary Spice did.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40She did a collaboration with somebody,
0:37:40 > 0:37:44because she married somebody, didn't she? I think.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Yeah.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- So we've got... - Baby, When You're Gone.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53We'll need to make one up.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- It's Raining Men, and...- Forever.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58OK, that's time.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Now, we were looking for UK top 40 solo hits
0:38:02 > 0:38:05by members of the Spice Girls.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I now need your three answers.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Well, we've got two.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Baby, When You're Gone. Is that right?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Baby, When You're Gone.- Yes, which Mel C did with Bryan Adams.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16If that's the correct title of it.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20And we're hoping Geri Halliwell covered It's Raining Men.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22It's Raining Men.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24And we haven't got a clue for the third one,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- so we're going to say, Forever. - Forever.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- It's a great name for a song! - That's what I thought!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Quite often when people are wrong and under the spotlight,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34they really do come up with something terrible!
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- THEY LAUGH - Forever.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Perfectly plausible!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Of those three, which do you think
0:38:39 > 0:38:41is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Probably the Mel C one. - Baby, When You're Gone.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47What's your least... We'll put Forever at the top.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49OK, and we've got It's Raining Men in the middle.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54OK, let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We've got Forever, It's Raining Men,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58and Baby, When You're Gone.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00So we were looking for solo UK top 40 hits
0:39:00 > 0:39:03by members of the Spice Girls.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Forever was the one you've made up!
0:39:06 > 0:39:09But it sounds so plausible! What if it's right?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11What if it's right and pointless?!
0:39:11 > 0:39:12It would be a miracle!
0:39:12 > 0:39:15It hasn't happened yet! But maybe today's the day!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18You only have to find one pointless answer
0:39:18 > 0:39:20to win that £5,500 jackpot.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, let's see if Forever was a single
0:39:23 > 0:39:25and if it was, let's see if anyone said it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Oh, what a shock (!)
0:39:29 > 0:39:32So, no former member of the Spice Girls
0:39:32 > 0:39:34sang a song called Forever.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35And, frankly, more fool them!
0:39:35 > 0:39:37LAUGHTER
0:39:37 > 0:39:39An incorrect answer, so therefore not pointless.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44£5,500! Now that's an exciting jackpot!
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Annette, what would you do with that?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I think I'd go on a holiday with that one.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And maybe a designer bag. A little treat.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52I should think a designer bag,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54at the very least, yes. Sue?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I think I'd have a holiday as well.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I could do with a nice holiday. Somewhere hot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Somewhere hot. Best of luck.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04We are looking for solo UK top 40 hits by members of the Spice Girls.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Let's hope nobody said your next answer, It's Raining Men.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- This is a bit of a punt.- Yeah.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let's find out if it's right. It then has to be pointless,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15for you to win the jackpot of £5,500. Let's see.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17It's Raining Men. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23It is right! So, Forever was an incorrect answer.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It's Raining Men, back on track. A correct answer.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Still going down, into the 20s, into the teens...
0:40:29 > 0:40:30ooh, 11!
0:40:30 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:3511!
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- That's more like it!- Yeah!
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You only have one more chance to win the jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Everything is now riding on
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Baby, When You're Gone.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Now, Annette, you remembered this. - Yeah, I remember
0:40:49 > 0:40:50because I'm a Bryan Adams fan.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53But I don't know whether that's the correct title.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56We're looking for solo UK top 40 hits by members of the Spice Girls.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Your third and final answer, Baby, When You're Gone,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00was your most confident answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02You reckon this was your best shot at a pointless.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It has to be right, and be pointless
0:41:04 > 0:41:06if you're going to win that jackpot.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10So, for £5,500, how many people said Baby, When You're Gone? Good luck!
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Oh, no!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Well, we will discover from Richard in a moment why that was wrong.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find
0:41:27 > 0:41:28that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £5,500,
0:41:31 > 0:41:33which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35You've been brilliant contestants,

0:41:44 > 0:41:48- Richard?- It's just called When You're Gone. Bryan Adams and Mel C.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50But it would have scored you four points anyway.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53But let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54A Mind Of Its Own, by Victoria Beckham.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Geri's number one hit, Bag It Up, was a pointless answer.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02LAUGHTER
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Feels So Good, that's a Mel B top five hit.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Here It Comes Again, that was Mel C.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09And I'll Be There, that was Emma.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10All of those, top ten hits.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Lift Me Up, another Geri number one single.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Not Such An Innocent Girl, that was Posh Spice.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Ride It, that's another top ten hit for Geri.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Other top ten hits you could have had,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Calling by Geri, Next Best Superstar by Mel C as well.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Very well done if you said any of those at home.
