0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Welcome back, Alan C and David. You were on the show last time.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Alan C, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We work together at a retail furniture store.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55A retail furniture store with a difference though.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- It's at an RAF base. - That's right, in Norfolk.- Yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02David, remind us what happened last time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We went out on a disgraceful classical music question.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10You had Handel as the composer of Carmen.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14That was last time, today's a whole new show.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- What are you hoping is going to come up today? - '60s, '70s music would be real good.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Do you have any sort of interesting hobbies that might give you some good pointless ground?
0:01:24 > 0:01:29I spend a lot of time with my grandson and there's another granddaughter on the way.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- That'll keep me busy.- Wouldn't Alan just be the best grandad?- Amazing. - That would be brilliant.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Are you available for hire?- Possibly!
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Wouldn't it be good to have a wise American grandfather with a long beard?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Just brilliant. A grandfather who looks like he's in ZZ Top.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48LAUGHTER
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That's just brilliant. Just brilliant.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56David, what would you like to see today to atone for the classical music round?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Something about the Mafia maybe?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Menacing.- Greatest mob hits of the '70s.- Still quite menacing.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Have you ever killed a man?
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- He's not good to say that on BBC One at 5:15.- He might do. Watch.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- There's still time. - Welcome back. It's great to have you back on the show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Let's hope we serve you better with questions this time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Next, we welcome Richard and Lyn. How do you know each other?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- We've been married for 34 years. - Many congratulations.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Where are you from?- Somerset. - From Somerset.- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- What do you do, Richard?- Retired.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40In your retirement, what do you like to get up to?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Reading, walking when I can, watch a lot of television.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Listen to music, watch films.- Do you have favourite books, in particular?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Crime, maybe.- Really? OK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Again!- A very warm welcome. It's great to have you on the show. Best of luck.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01We welcome Allan R and Amanda. Remind us how you know each other.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- We are father and daughter.- Amanda, tell us what happened last time.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- It was Samuel L Jackson films. - That's right.- I came up with Leon.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I was 50-50 as to whether he was in it, but obviously he wasn't.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Anyway, today is a new show. What are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Only Fools And Horses would be good. Very specific.- Good to be specific.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Allan, anything you'd like to see? - I would like football to come up.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I'm a big Southend United fan. Should I be saying that?
0:03:31 > 0:03:37There was a sole Southend fan out there. Either that or someone smuggled an owl into the audience.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Yes, sport would be good. Crime? - Funny you should say that,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45but I actually take a monthly subscription to a crime magazine as well.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47LAUGHTER
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We're in the wrong game, Richard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53We're not in the wrong game, we are in the wrong room.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58LAUGHTER I think Allan, you're an accountant,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02he would be a very good accountant in a proper British gangster film.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07The accountants have always got that Essex accent but they're very suave
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and come across as very law-abiding and very dapper.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Exactly.- Welcome back to the show, Allan R and Amanda.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You were first-round leavers last time.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Let's hope we see much more of you this time. Very best of luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And finally, Lucy and Charlotte. How do you know each other?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- We went to school together. - What do you do now?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I study film and American studies. - What do you think your favourite genre of film is at the moment?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I quite like films that have isolated moments of extreme violence in them.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41LAUGHTER
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Oh. Leave now.- No idea.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50I've no idea who to back furthest away from.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53LAUGHTER
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This lot would be the most awesome criminal gang
0:04:56 > 0:04:58in the history of the world.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- They've got everything.- Lucy, what are you doing at the moment?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I'm studying European and international law at the University of Sheffield.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- I think that's verging on the normal.- No, no.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14They always have a lawyer, don't they?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19We've got our accountant, we've got our lawyer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24They always have a money person, they always have a lawyer and always have a doctor.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We don't have a doctor.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28When one of them gets shot, which will probably happen
0:05:28 > 0:05:33before the end of the show, you can't take them to a proper hospital.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Well, listen...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Oh, Lord!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Lucy and Charlotte, welcome to the show.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44It's great to have you here. We'll be finding out more throughout the show.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47There's only one person left for me to introduce,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50the BBC have caved into his wage demands so he's still here,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53my pointless friend Richard.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Hiya. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- Afternoon.- Top of the afternoon to you.- Do you know something about today's show?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It is provably the most terrifying episode of Pointless we've ever had.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Absolutely terrifying. The only person I trust at all is Lyn.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19That makes me think she must be the evil mastermind because in the film,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23you're thinking, they're all psychopaths apart from Lyn.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- And it was Lyn all along! Are you an evil mastermind, Lyn?- Yes! - LAUGHTER
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Question one today is the sort of question
0:06:31 > 0:06:35that half the people at home will be punching the air in delight
0:06:35 > 0:06:41- and the other half will be groaning with despair. - OK. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47but we're looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52To stay in the game, all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:55 > 0:07:01an answer none of our 100 people gave and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Nobody won the jackpot last time. We add another £1,000 to that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Today's jackpot starts off at £12,000.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Our first category today is...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first
0:07:43 > 0:07:48and who's going to go second? And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54OK, our first question concerns...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01We're going to show you the names of seven football grounds.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You need to tell us in which town or city are they situated.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08If you give a nice obscure answer, you will score fewer points.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Give us an incorrect answer and you will score 100 points.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- 14 in all to have a go at at home. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Alan C and David, you drew lots before the show. Today, you go first.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26We're looking for the UK towns or cities which these football grounds are located and we have got...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'll read them one last time.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- David, what's that board looking like to you?- It could be worse.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52I think I'll go for the Etihad Stadium and that is in Manchester.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Let's see if that's right
0:08:56 > 0:09:00and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Absolutely right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- 20. - APPLAUSE
0:09:09 > 0:09:1320 for Manchester.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Well played. Home to Manchester City, of course. Also known as the City Of Manchester Stadium.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Lyn... Lyn, how does that board look to you?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I know one.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So I'm going to say Ashton Gate, Bristol.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Ashton Gate, Bristol, says Lyn. Let's see if that's right
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- 18. - APPLAUSE
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Very well done. 18 for Ashton Gate, Bristol.- Well played.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Nice and local to you in Somerset as well. Interestingly, for Amanda,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59there's a block of flats behind Ashton Gate, Nelson Mandela House.
0:09:59 > 0:10:05So they hold a lot of the Only Fools And Horses Appreciation Society things down at Ashton Gate.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- Filmed in the car park. All sorts of things.- Thanks very much. Amanda, how is this for you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:17- Terrible.- Really? Do you know any of those?- I think so.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I'm going to say Anfield, Liverpool. - Anfield, Liverpool, says Amanda.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Yes, but! - APPLAUSE
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- Better than a wrong answer. 70 for Liverpool.- Yes, it's a high-scoring answer but absolutely right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45Home of Liverpool FC. Originally home of Everton, in the 19th century.
0:10:45 > 0:10:52- Really?- Yes.- Lucy, you're the last person to have this board. Do you have any ideas?
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Amanda took my answer, which I was going to give wrong. I thought Anfield was Arsenal in London.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04So I'm going to say Hampden Park, Hampden.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08LAUGHTER
0:11:08 > 0:11:11OK, Hampden Park in Hampden.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Let's see if it's right, Hampden Park, Hampden.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry, Lucy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23That's an incorrect answer, which means you score 100 points.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Can you believe it?- No. - Not in Hampden.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32It's actually the home of the Scottish national team and Queens Park FC, it's in Glasgow.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35It was the largest stadium in the world when it was built in 1903.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39It was until 1950. Would have scored 35 points.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Carrow Road, you will know.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- Norwich.- Your team. That would have scored 27. Pride Park?- Derby.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It is, well done. Would have scored 29 points. And Home Park?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Home Park is the best answer on the board, Plymouth.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Very well done if you said Plymouth at home.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04The best answer of the round was Lyn's.
0:12:04 > 0:12:1018. Lovely low score. 18 for Ashton Gate Stadium.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14We come up to 20, where we see David and Alan C looking very strong.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Up to 70, Amanda and Allan R,
0:12:16 > 0:12:21and then hop up to 100 where we find Lucy and Charlotte.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Quite far ahead of the pack there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Charlotte, you get first dibs on the next board.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Let's hope it has an answer that you know that's really low scoring.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Good luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40OK, we're going to put seven more football grounds on the board
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and here they are. We have got...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'll read them one last time.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08You're looking for the towns or cities in the UK where these football grounds are situated.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12As ever, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Charlotte, you're the high scorers. How's the board looking?- Not good.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I don't know any of them. But I am actually going to guess a place.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26So... Yeah, I'm going to guess, I'm going to say Windsor Park
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- and say Leicester. - Windsor Park, Leicester.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38There's no red line for you because you're the high scorers.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Unfortunately, an incorrect answer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44That scores you 100 points
0:13:44 > 0:13:47and takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Sorry, Charlotte. But Leicester is a place. So that's good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- I'm better than you! - Thanks, Richard. Allan R.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56The high scorers are out of reach.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Charlotte and Lucy are way ahead on 200.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Even if you score 100 points, you're still through to the next round.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I think you might have a good low scoring answer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I've been to at least two of those with Southend United.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Looking through there,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I think I probably pick Fratton Park as Portsmouth.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I think I'll go for that.- Fratton Park, Portsmouth, says Allan.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28No red line for you. You're already through to the next round. Fratton Park, Portsmouth.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:14:36 > 0:14:3828 takes your total up to 98.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Richard.- Yes, home of Portsmouth FC.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Built by Archibald Leitch, the real name of Cary Grant, but not the same one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Richard, you're on 18, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- You're still through to the next round.- I'm struggling a bit.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- Apart from one. Elland Road, Leeds. - Elland Road, Leeds, says Richard.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Is it right, how many people said it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07There we are. 49.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- APPLAUSE - Takes your total up to 67.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well done. Built in 1897.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Home to Leeds United, previously home to Leeds City, until they were disbanded.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24And Alan C, the good news is, you're through to the next round whatever happens.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I think I know a couple of them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I'm not sure Deva Stadium, I don't have a clue.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'd like to go with Portman Road, Ipswich.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Portman Road, Ipswich, says Alan C. Let's see if that's right
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and if it is, how many people said Ipswich for Portman Road.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Absolutely right.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Very well done. 18. - APPLAUSE
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- 18 takes your total up to a lovely low 38.- Well played.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Probably the closest team to you in Norfolk.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Let's have a look through the rest of the board. St Mary's Stadium?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- No idea.- Portsmouth's biggest rivals, that Southampton.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Would have scored you 23. Riverside Stadium?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- It's from your neck of the woods. - Middlesbrough.- Absolutely right.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Would have scored 32. Windsor Park?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The home of Linfield and the Northern Ireland football team, Belfast.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23The Deva Stadium, you will know if you've got obscure
0:16:23 > 0:16:27football knowledge or obscure Roman history knowledge.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28It's in Chester.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Just four points. Well done if you said that.- Thanks very much.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39At the end of the first round, the losing pair with the highest score, Lucy and Charlotte.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Our latest members of the 200 Club. - At least we did it in style.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You did, you did it in great style.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Windsor Park, sadly not in Leicester. And most annoyingly, Hampden Park was not in Hampden.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54We will see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Thanks so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:16:59 > 0:17:02For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Our category for round two is...
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Can you all decide in your pairs was going to go first, who's going second?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Let's find out what the question is.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Richard. - We're looking for any film that had a cinema release for which any
0:17:42 > 0:17:47of the six main Friends actors has received an acting credit prior to the end of 2011.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49No TV films, short films, documentaries,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53but voice performances do count and the six actors are of course,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer,
0:17:56 > 0:18:03- Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc. Best of luck.- Good luck everyone. David.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Films starring any of the six main Friends actors.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I think I got a good one. - I bet you have!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13David Schwimmer was in it, I think he played a schoolteacher,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17it was a Bryan Singer film and it was called Apt Pupil.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Apt Pupil. Apt Pupil, says David. Let's see if that's right
0:18:21 > 0:18:25and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Apt Pupil. It's right.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32How far down is it going to go?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35All the way! Very well done, David!
0:18:35 > 0:18:39It's a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42takes the total up to £12,250.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46It scores you nothing. That's a great answer, very well done.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50As you said, from 1998, a Bryan Singer movie.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- It's based on a Stephen King short story.- Lynn.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm thinking of a Jennifer Aniston film.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Struggling to think of the title. I'm going to have to say Three Killings.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Is that a film you'd like to see? - It's one I've seen.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07But I don't think it's the right title.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It doesn't sound like the kind of film she makes but there we are. OK.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14She's definitely the boss. Three Killings!
0:19:14 > 0:19:18She's essentially just ordered a hit via the television.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Three Killings. Let's see if it's right
0:19:21 > 0:19:25and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Three Killings.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31which means you score 100 points.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Allan. We're looking for films starring the main Friends actors.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Right, I'm sort of struggling, a bit like Lyn.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But I think I remember Matthew Perry
0:19:41 > 0:19:44in a film called The Whole Nine Yards.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48The Whole Nine Yards, Allan R. Let's see if it's right
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and how many of our 100 people said The Whole Nine Yards.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Very well done.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00APPLAUSE
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Four.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08- Four for The Whole Nine Yards. Great answer. Great score. - Great answer. From 2000.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Matthew Perry plays a dentist who lives next door to a hitman,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16who is wanted by the mob. LAUGHTER
0:20:16 > 0:20:20We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Nothing is what David scored.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25David and Alan looking extremely strong for the next round.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29As indeed are Allan and Amanda, with a lovely low score of four.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And then we come up an awfully long way to 100,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35where we find Lyn and Richard.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41Richard, I'm hoping, you've just got a blinding Lisa Kudrow film
0:20:41 > 0:20:43that you're going to give us in the next pass.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Very best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Now then, Amanda,
0:20:53 > 0:20:58we're looking for films starring any of the six main Friends actors.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I've got loads in my mind.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Let's have another pointless answer. - No.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The high scorers are Richard and Lyn on 100.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Richard hasn't even given an answer yet.- I'm going to play safe.- Amanda!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Listen, what's the name of the show? - Pointless.- Yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Amanda, a nice risky, potentially pointless, answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Jennifer Aniston and Along Came Polly.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26HE SIGHS
0:21:26 > 0:21:30OK, let's go through the motions, shall we? There's your red line.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32If you get below that red line,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34you're through to the head-to-head.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It is and you're through.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Five. Not bad. - APPLAUSE
0:21:45 > 0:21:50- Not bad. That takes your total up to nine.- Well done, Amanda.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- One of Jennifer Aniston's almost endless stream of rom-coms. That one with Ben Stiller.- Now then, Richard.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59We're looking for films starring any of the six main Friends actors.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You are the high scorers on 100.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06You just have to hope you have a nice low scoring answer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I think Matt LeBlanc was in a remake of the Forbidden Planet.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Let's see if that's right.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18No red line for you, Richard, as you are the high scorers. Forbidden Planet, is it right?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Bad luck, Richard. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to an impressive 200.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Now then, Alan C.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34David found a pointless answer. Even if you score 100 points,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36you are still in the head to head.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Why not see if you can get another pointless answer?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44To be honest, I'm not sure of either one of them,
0:22:44 > 0:22:49but I'm going... I was thinking 51 First Dates,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54but I'm not sure if the blonde actress was in there.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58But the one I think I'm going to try is Lost In Space.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00OK, Lost In Space, says Alan C.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03No red line for you, you're through already.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Let's see if it might add another 250 quid to our jackpot.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It is right, Alan, well done.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18APPLAUSE
0:23:18 > 0:23:24- Five for Lost In Space. Takes your total up to five.- Well played.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28That's the film you're thinking of, Richard, I think. Amanda, now we're safe and sound,
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- do you want to have a go at some pointless answers?- Romy And Michelle's High School Reunion.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Would have said scored one point. - Picture Perfect, Jennifer Aniston.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43- Two points.- And then final one, Rumour Has It. Jennifer Aniston.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49Rumour Has It, Jennifer Aniston, you've gone one point then two points, it's a pointless answer.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Well done. Let's take a look at some more pointless answers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Courteney Cox was in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. That was a pointless answer.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00David Schwimmer starred alongside Simon Pegg in Big Nothing.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Matt LeBlanc, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Jennifer Aniston, Just Go With It. Also Office Space and She's The One.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Leprechaun, Jennifer Aniston starred alongside Warwick Davis.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Madagascar 2. David Schwimmer provides the voice of the giraffe.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The Opposite Of Sex, that's Lisa Kudrow with Christina Ricci.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Three To Tango, Matthew Perry. And Wonderland, which is Lisa Kudrow.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Very well done if you got any of those at home.- Thanks very much.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Richard and Lyn.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Bad luck. Three Killings. We'll never know.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Perhaps it should stay that way.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Richard, Lost In Space, that was bad luck.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44But I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye. The good news is, we will see you again next time,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48where I'm sure you will go even further. But in the meantime, thanks for playing.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52APPLAUSE
0:24:52 > 0:24:57For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Congratulations, Alan C and David, Allan R and Amanda. You're now one round away from the final
0:25:07 > 0:25:13and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £12,250.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16APPLAUSE
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Obviously, only one player can play for that money.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24To decide which pair it will be, you're going to go head-to-head on the best-of-three questions.
0:25:24 > 0:25:31The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot and you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:44 > 0:25:49My favourite bit of the show, we're going to show you five pictures of animals native to Australia.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54We need you to give us the name of the animal, the general common name, rather than the species.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Name the most obscure animal you can see. Best of luck.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Lest let's reveal our five Australian animals
0:26:01 > 0:26:03and here they are. We've got...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Aw!- Aw!
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Aw!- Aw!
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- He looks a bit worried. - It's OK. It's OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Meh.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Aw! What you doing!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Aw! What?!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35OK, there we are. Five Australian animals.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Alan C and David, you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I think we've got one.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- What's it going to be? - E, the duckbilled platypus.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52E, the duckbilled platypus, say Alan C and David.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Allan R and Amanda, you can now talk us through the rest of the board.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00That's the one we were going to go with, duckbilled platypus.
0:27:00 > 0:27:07- It probably only leave us A and probably C.- A obviously is koala.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- C, we think is emu.- B, that looks like a bush baby.- I don't know.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16- We're going to have to go with emu on C.- Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20You're saying emu, C.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I think that's Sinead O'Connor.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26But anyway, we'll see.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Alan C and David are saying that E is the duckbilled platypus.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35It is right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40That was a very high score.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Allan R and Amanda, you have said that C is an emu. C, emu.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:5181 is the score you have to beat.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Yes, you've done it.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- 58. - APPLAUSE
0:28:03 > 0:28:09Alan C and David, you were outmanoeuvred. There we are.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Allan R and Amanda, you are ahead after one question.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16One of those words, isn't it, duckbilled platypus, once you hear it, you don't forget it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21And emu scored a lot less because a lot put ostrich.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25It split the vote. Let's have a look at the cute ones. A is a koala.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- How many people do you think said koala?- 98.- 96. Big score.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Four people not recognising it. Do you know B?- I think that's a possum.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It is a possum. 23 points.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41No Australian animals were harmed during the taking of these photographs.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Apart from the koala, which sadly passed away.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51It didn't really. He's fine. He's absolutely fine. And D.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54It's got a famous name, but perhaps you wouldn't recognise it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I think I heard somebody conferring. Someone said Tasmanian Devil.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00It is a Tasmanian Devil. Absolutely right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03That would have scored 15 points.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08The best answer on the board is the Tasmanian Devil. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Alan C, you said Tasmanian Devil. - Sure did.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16That would have been a much better answer than duckbilled platypus.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20All is not lost. As long as you win this question.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22You have to win this to stay in the game.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Your second question, it concerns...
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Quite simply, we're going to give you five questions about the Lord Of The Rings.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Which has the most obscure answer?
0:29:31 > 0:29:37OK. Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Lord Of The Rings. Here they come. We have got...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I'll read that one more time.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10So there are five clues to facts about the Lord Of The Rings.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Allan R and Amanda, you go first this time.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16I think we're going to have to take a flyer on this one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21- Go for the country.- The country where JRR Tolkien was born, Norway.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23You're going to say Norway,
0:30:23 > 0:30:27the country in which JRR Tolkien was born.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- Alan and David.- We think the books were published in the '50s.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Erm... I don't know what Gandalf's horse is.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40We're going to say the title of the second book is the Two Towers.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43The Two Towers, the title of the second book.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46We have Norway and the Two Towers.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Allan R and Amanda have said Norway as the country where JRR Tolkien was born.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00That's an incorrect answer, which means Alan C and David,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03you merely have to be correct with this answer.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06The Two Towers. Let's see if it's right.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Absolutely right, well done. That's what you needed.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Nice low score. 28.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16APPLAUSE
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Exactly what you needed to do, Alan C and David.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- After two questions, you are now one-all.- Well played.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26He wasn't born in Norway, he was born in South Africa.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Settled in England at the age of four, near Birmingham.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35Alan and David knew the best answer. They were published in the '50s. That would have scored two points.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38The name of Gandalf's horse, very well done anyone at home
0:31:38 > 0:31:41who said Shadowfax. Would have scored 14.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44And the area of Middle Earth ruled by Sauron.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Mordor.- Absolutely right. That would have scored 19.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56This will decide who goes through to the final in place for that enormous jackpot.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Our third question concerns...
0:31:58 > 0:32:03On this board, with going to give you the Imperial names of five
0:32:03 > 0:32:08Roman emperors and the dates of their reigns but we're only giving you the first and last letters.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Can you fill in the gaps and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Let's reveal the five Roman emperors and here they are.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18So we have...
0:32:40 > 0:32:45There they are. This time, Alan C and David, you go first.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49The only one we definitely know,
0:32:49 > 0:32:54we hopefully definitely know is right, is the last one, Nero.
0:32:54 > 0:33:00Nero. OK. You're going to say Nero. Allan R and Amanda.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03You can talk us through the board, if you like.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07No, I don't think we can take you through the board. We knew Nero.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10The only other one that we know is the top one
0:33:10 > 0:33:12and we think that's Caligula.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Caligula. OK, we have Nero and we have Caligula.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19This to decide who goes through to the final.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Alan C and David, Nero, is it right, how many people said it?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Absolutely right.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33APPLAUSE
0:33:35 > 0:33:4146 for Nero. Allan R and Amanda, you are saying Caligula.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Let's see if that's right
0:33:43 > 0:33:46and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:4846 is the score to beat, Caligula.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Absolutely right. Will it go down below 46?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Yes, it has! Look at that! You've done it!
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Ten! - APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Ten for Caligula, which means after three questions,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Allan R and Amanda, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Richard.- So Nero and yet so far-o.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18That is very tough luck. Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Do you want to have a quiet any of these?- Hadrian.- Absolutely right.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- That would have scored 15 points. PX?- No.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28It's the best answer. Two points if you'd said Pertinax.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- And CE?- Constantine.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Would have scored three points and seen you through to the final.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- Very well done if you got the whole board.- Thanks, Richard.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Alan C and David.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47The platypus. And you knew the Tasmanian Devil.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- We gave it our best shot. They were worthy winners.- Graciously said.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56You did give it your best shot. It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- Thank you so much, Alan C and David, great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:01 > 0:35:05But for Allan R and Amanda, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Congratulations, Allan and Amanda. You fought off the competition
0:35:14 > 0:35:18and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You now have a chance to win our jackpot
0:35:24 > 0:35:29and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £12,250.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:35The rules are very simple.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39To win that many, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42We had one pointless answer today. You have to find one more
0:35:42 > 0:35:46and you will go home with that jackpot of £12,250.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Firstly, choose a category.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You have a choice of five options. They are...
0:35:52 > 0:35:55LAUGHTER
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Crime writers would probably be all right but the one up there for me is snooker.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Shall we go for snooker?- Yeah. - We'll go for snooker.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13You're going for snooker. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:19 > 0:36:23We're looking for the name of any player who is lost in the final
0:36:23 > 0:36:28of a World Snooker Championships from 1969, all the way through to 2011.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34They might have won in other years but as long as they have lost a world snooker final. Very best of luck.
0:36:34 > 0:36:40Thanks, Richard. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:40 > 0:36:46and all you need to win that 12,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- OK. John Parrott.- John Parrott, OK.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Erm... Jimmy Young?- Jimmy White. Not Jimmy Young.
0:36:59 > 0:37:05- Erm... Going back.- Stephen Hendry, maybe.- Stephen Hendry.- I don't know.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11- I'm just trying to name snooker people.- Davis.- Davis?
0:37:11 > 0:37:16Erm... Who's the one with the big glasses?
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Erm...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Dennis.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Let's think.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Oh, dear.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- This is difficult.- Dennis Taylor? - Dennis Taylor lost...
0:37:38 > 0:37:43- Ten seconds left. - He might have lost in another year.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- It could be any year, even if they've won and then lost.- OK.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52OK, you think you've got your three answers. Your time is up.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I now need your three answers.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00- OK, we're going to go with John Parrott, Jimmy White.- Dennis Taylor.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And Dennis Taylor. Of those three,
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- who do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?- Jimmy White? - Maybe Jimmy White.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11We'll put Jimmy White last. Your least likely?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Dennis Taylor.- Dennis Taylor, we'll put him first on the list.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20Let's pop them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23We've got Dennis Taylor, John Parrott and Jimmy White.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27We were looking for losing snooker world championship finalists.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Dennis Taylor was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £12,250.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Let's see, is Dennis Taylor right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45It's right. It's right.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49That's the first thing it had to be. If this goes down to zero,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53you are walking out of here with £12,250.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55It's still going down.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57APPLAUSE
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- OK. Right. That was exciting. - It was.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- It was getting very exciting. - Three people...- Three people. - ..said Dennis Taylor.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14A great answer, but unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21What would you do with £12,250, Amanda?
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- I would probably go on a shopping spree in New York.- Good answer.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31- Allan, what would you do?- It's my 40th wedding anniversary this year. My wife and I both played golf.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35We would like to go to Pebble Beach to celebrate our 40th anniversary.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40- It would be fantastic. - Very best of luck. Fingers crossed.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44We're looking for losing snooker world championship finalists.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Let's hope nobody said your next answer, John Parrott.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Has to be right, has to be pointless, for you to leave with the jackpot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56For £12,250, let's see how many people said John Parrott.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01OK, it's also right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Dennis Taylor went down to three.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Let's see how far John Parrott will go down. Down he goes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Into single figures.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- APPLAUSE - Seven.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Seven for John Parrott. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23We are looking for to losing World Snooker Championship finalists.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Your third and final answer, you said, was Jimmy White.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30You said that was the most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36He lost a lot of times. But who knows.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41To win the jackpot of £12,250, this has to be pointless. Let's find out.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Jimmy White. How many people said it?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It's right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Now then, Dennis Taylor took us all the way down to three.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54John Parrott stopped at seven. Jimmy White, your most confident answer.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:57 > 0:40:5925.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £12,250,
0:41:12 > 0:41:17which rolls on to the next show, but you been fantastic contestants.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Brilliant. You do get to take all our pointless trophy. Well done.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:29You played so well, against very tough opposition as well.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Jimmy White, of course, lost six finals. Never won one as well.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36John Parrott famously lost 18-3 in a final to Steve Davis.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39But did win a world title another time.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Dennis Taylor lost to Terry Griffiths. There's a lot of pointless answers.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Mark Selby, Ken Doherty, Matthew Stevens,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48all pointless, Let's take a look at a few more.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Ali Carter, who lost to Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Eddie Charlton lost twice, both times to Ray Reardon.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Gary Owen, lost in the 1969 final to John Spencer.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Graham Miles lost to Reardon, also in the '70s.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Joe Johnson, who won the year before then lost it to Steve Davis.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08John Pullman, who lost it in 1970, also to Ray Reardon.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12There's John Spencer. He lost to Alex Higgins in 1972.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Nigel Bond lost to Stephen Hendry.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19And Shaun Murphy, a world champion, but lost in 2009 to John Higgins.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Warren Simpson also a pointless answer. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29- Thanks so much, Richard. It sounded like you knew quite a number of those.- I knew three of those.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- John Spencer. We've had a fantastic time.- We have.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Allan and Amanda, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43- Thank you for playing. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Allan and Amanda didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51On the next show, we will be playing for £13,250.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Join us to see if someone can win it. In the meantime, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03APPLAUSE
