0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE

0:00:36 > 0:00:39First up, we welcome back Richard and Lyn.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42You were on the show last time. Remind us what happened, Lyn.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- We got knocked out in the second round.- Second round.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46What was the question?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50It was films the cast of Friends have made since leaving Friends.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Ah, yes.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- That was a really tough round. - It was for us.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm still struggling now, even after I know the answers.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01What are you hoping's going to come up today, Lyn?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Anything but sport, really.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Any sport at all.- No sport. - OK.- Thank you.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Can I ask a question? Do you know much about badminton?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- No.- Uh-oh.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12LAUGHTER

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Richard, where are you from? Remind us.- Watchet in Somerset.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Watchet!

0:01:18 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER

0:01:19 > 0:01:21OK. Right. Watchet in Somerset.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- What do you like to get up to down there?- Watch films, play music.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29- I like a lot of music.- What kind of music do you like?- David Bowie,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- what have you.- Splendid. - I was at school with David Bowie.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Get out of town.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36He was a year above me.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- He was the year above you at school.- Yes.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Do you remember him?

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Vaguely. He was quite a quiet, introverted sort of person.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- That was nowhere near Somerset, that must have been London. - Bromley in Kent.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52That's right, yes. Richard, Lyn, lovely to have you back on the show,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54very best of luck today.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Next, we welcome back Lucy and Charlotte.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59You were also on the show last time.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Remind us what happened with you, Lucy.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03It wasn't pretty.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06We had a football question and it was football stadiums.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08ALEXANDER GASPS

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I decided that Hampden Park is in Hampden.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Yes? Charlotte,

0:02:12 > 0:02:16we're going to put all that behind us because today is another day.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17What are you hoping comes up today?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20What's going to be a brilliant, peachy question for you?

0:02:20 > 0:02:2321st century musicals.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Wow.- Yes.- A little wry look from you there after that.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29What in particular?

0:02:29 > 0:02:33What's your favourite musical of all 21st century musicals?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35A musical called Spring Awakening. It's quite obscure.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Spring Awakening?- Yes.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41We look forward to seeing much more of you today than we did last time.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Very best of luck. And next, we welcome Miriam and Geoff.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- How do you two know each other? - This is my lovely wife.- Splendid.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- And where are you from, Miriam? - Whitstable.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- North Kent.- Yes.- North Kent.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- How did you meet, Miriam? - We met at church

0:02:56 > 0:02:59and I saw the back of Geoff's head and I thought,

0:02:59 > 0:03:01that man is going to be my husband.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- And then, he was!- It's a pretty good back of head.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05LAUGHTER

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Geoff, were you aware? Could you feel something going on?

0:03:08 > 0:03:13- I could sense a presence. The eyes boring in.- Wow.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- That's, I think, very nice. - It's unique, isn't it?- Yes.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21- You've been married for how long? - About four years.- About four years.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24What do you like to get up to, Miriam, in Whitstable? What are your hobbies?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27We are part of our church, so we're quite involved in our church.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29We play a bit of tennis.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30In the church?!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32LAUGHTER

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Not in the church.- Right.- Um...

0:03:34 > 0:03:36- We like to go for walks along the beach.- Yes.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Got a lovely beach in Whitstable. - Certainly have. Very good.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Lovely to have you here. Very best of luck.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Finally, we've got Andrew and Phil. How do you two know each other?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48We met at a party about ten years ago.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I think we were probably just very, very drunk.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54We've been with each other ever since, really.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55And where are you from, Andrew?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Originally Worcestershire, but I live in London now. Vauxhall.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Phil, how about you?- Kentish Town.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- In London. - Originally from Wiltshire.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05What are you hoping comes up today, Andrew?

0:04:05 > 0:04:10- Words ending in something that I know words ending in.- OK.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Theatre would be good.- Theatre.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Do you get to see a lot of plays?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Yes, we go about twice a week to the theatre.- Do you?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- We did see Spring Awakening. - Did you?- Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Was it any good?

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Awful.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- LAUGHTER - Really?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Sorry.- Wow.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Best of luck, Andrew and Phil. Lovely to have you here.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37There is of course only one person left for me to introduce.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38If obscurity were part of your diet,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40you are about to get your five a day.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Hiya.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Very good afternoon to you. - And to you.- How are you?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'm very well.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Excellent. Two returning pairs today.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01I think, I think today's going to be an absolute shoo-in

0:05:01 > 0:05:03for Richard and Lyn. Do you know why?

0:05:03 > 0:05:07It may only be because there's a huge disadvantage for Lucy and Charlotte

0:05:07 > 0:05:11and for Andrew and Phil on today's show. Have you spotted what it is?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Is it sport?- No, the fact they've got the perfect angle to look at the back of Geoff's head.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16LAUGHTER

0:05:16 > 0:05:19And I think, I think it's going to be distracting.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23You can see them now, drawn to it like moths to a flame,

0:05:23 > 0:05:25so I think it will be hard to concentrate.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27OK, look forward to that. Thank you, Richard.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34In order to get to the final round and win the jackpot,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37all our contestants need to do is find the obscure answers

0:05:37 > 0:05:38those 100 people didn't get.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42The fewer people that knew the answer, the fewer points they score.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48That's an answer none of our 100 people gave

0:05:48 > 0:05:51and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:05:54 > 0:06:00Today's jackpot starts off at £13,250.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Right, let's play Pointless.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11APPLAUSE

0:06:11 > 0:06:14OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer

0:06:14 > 0:06:16and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:06:16 > 0:06:22Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24OK. Our first category today is...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Eurovision.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33Eurovision. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:06:44 > 0:06:48Eurovision participants who have had a UK number one single

0:06:48 > 0:06:52as they could. Eurovision participants who have had a Eurovision number one single.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Richard.- We're looking for any act which has represented any country

0:06:56 > 0:07:00in the Eurovision Song Contest up to the end of 2011

0:07:00 > 0:07:02who's has also had a number one hit in the UK chart.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05As always, that is according to the Official Charts Company.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Very best of luck.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Richard and Lyn, you all drew lots before the show

0:07:11 > 0:07:14and today, you get to go first.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Lyn.- I'm going to say Sandie Shaw.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Sandie Shaw, says Lyn. Let see if it's right

0:07:20 > 0:07:23and let's see how many of our 100 people said Sandie Shaw.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Absolutely right.

0:07:31 > 0:07:3216.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE

0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's a great score, Lyn. 16.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Sandie Shaw. - Good answer, Lyn. Safe start.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43She represented the UK in 1967 with Puppet On A String.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45That was a number one single.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Also had number ones with Long Live Love

0:07:46 > 0:07:49and There's Always Something There To Remind Me.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Now then, Lucy, you looked very happy when this came up, Eurovision.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59I think I can make a pretty good educated guess, I hope.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Let's see. What are you going to say?

0:08:01 > 0:08:06I'm going to go with country of origin and say Westlife.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Westlife.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Charlotte looks...

0:08:11 > 0:08:12LAUGHTER

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I'm going to be kind and say she looks uneasy.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17- Westlife.- Yes.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I hope it comes up, otherwise she's never going to speak to me again.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Westlife.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25I think that could be right. Westlife, says Lucy. Let's see if it's right

0:08:25 > 0:08:28and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Westlife.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32No!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34AUDIENCE GROANS

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Bad luck, Lucy. That's an incorrect answer,

0:08:36 > 0:08:41which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yes, never represented any country in Eurovision, I'm afraid,

0:08:44 > 0:08:46though they have had a lot of UK number ones.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Do you know how many UK number ones Westlife have had?

0:08:50 > 0:08:5117.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Off the top of my head, I think it's 14. That's a lot.- That's a lot.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Can I say something really disappointing about Westlife?- Yes.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01I met them once and...

0:09:01 > 0:09:02- That is disappointing.- Isn't it?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05LAUGHTER You must have been gutted.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- And they're really nice. - Of course they're nice.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Really, some of the nicest people you could wish to meet.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I was quite disappointed. I was wanting them to be obnoxious.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Anyway, there we are.- There it is.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Westlife, never represented any country at Eurovision. YET.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Yet, exactly. Exactly. - Bad luck, Lucy.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28That earned you 100 points and the ignominy of Charlotte.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, we move to you, Miriam.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Remember, we're looking for any Eurovision participant

0:09:33 > 0:09:34who has had a UK number one single.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39This is a tricky one. I have no idea

0:09:39 > 0:09:41but I'm going to guess Sinead O'Connor.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46OK, Sinead O'Connor. Let's see if that's right and if it is,

0:09:46 > 0:09:48let's see how many of our 100 people said Sinead O'Connor.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52AUDIENCE GROANS

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Bad luck, Miriam.- I'm sorry.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:09:56 > 0:09:59which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Richard.- Sorry, Miriam. You've made Charlotte very happy.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Has never represented any country at the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Now then, Andrew, something tells me...

0:10:10 > 0:10:13you're probably not on the most solid ground here.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17I've got a really good answer but I can't think of her name...

0:10:17 > 0:10:19LAUGHTER

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Hang on, let me just unpack that.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25"I've got a really good answer," but I can't think what that answer is?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I know what she looks like and what she sang

0:10:27 > 0:10:29but I am blowed if I know her name,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32so, I'm going to go with Brotherhood Of Man.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Brotherhood Of Man. Let's see if that's right

0:10:35 > 0:10:38and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said the Brotherhood Of Man.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's right.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Ten.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51APPLAUSE

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Not a bad score, particularly for your fallback answer.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Ten points for the Brotherhood Of Man.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well played, Andrew. Represented the UK in 1976

0:11:00 > 0:11:01with Save All Your Kisses For Me.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05That was number one, as was Angelo and Figaro. Three number ones.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Very good indeed. We're halfway through the round.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Andrew and Phil there, with the best score of the pass.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Lyn and Richard looking very safe there on 16.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Miriam and Geoff and Lucy and Charlotte, both pairs on 100,

0:11:22 > 0:11:25so, Geoff and Charlotte, you'll have to duke it out

0:11:25 > 0:11:28to see which of you knows the most about Eurovision.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30We'll come back down the line.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:11:35 > 0:11:40OK, we're looking for Eurovision participants who've had a UK number one single.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Phil. You are on ten at the moment.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46The high scorers on 100 are Geoff and Miriam and Charlotte and Lucy.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50If you can score 89 or less, you are through to Round Two.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I've got a strange feeling

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'm going to say the name Andrew was trying to remember.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- But we'll see. Mary Hopkins. - Mary Hopkins.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Andrew, was that the name you were trying to remember?- No.- Oh.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03LAUGHTER

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Here is your red line. Nice and high.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09You get below that red line, you are through to Round Two.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see if Mary Hopkins is right

0:12:11 > 0:12:14and if it is, let's see how many people knew that. Mary Hopkins.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18AUDIENCE GROANS

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Bad luck, Phil. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer

0:12:21 > 0:12:24which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

0:12:24 > 0:12:25which takes your total up to 110.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Now then, Geoff.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yes.- Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. How good is your Eurovision?

0:12:30 > 0:12:35I've got a couple of safe ones in my head but also kind of wild.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Let me put it all into context for you,

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Andrew and Phil are the high scorers on 110. You're on 100,

0:12:40 > 0:12:41which means if you score nine or less,

0:12:41 > 0:12:44you go sailing through to the next round.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Yes, so I think I'm going to have to go for a bit of a gamble.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'm going to go with Gina G.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52What do you think, Miriam?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54He knows better than me.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- He most certainly does. - LAUGHTER

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- In everything.- Gina G, says Geoff. Is it right?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03How many people said Gina G?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's right.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Oh, it's looking very good.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13You've done it! One!

0:13:13 > 0:13:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:13:14 > 0:13:16One for Gina G, for goodness' sake.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18There you are. Takes your total up to 101.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Geoff and Miriam, you're through to the next round. Very well done.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Richard.- Well done, Geoff. Just one point, or Ooh, Aah, Just A Little Bit might be a better way of putting it.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31That was the song she did in 1996 and that was also her only UK number one single, to date.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33To date.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Who's to say she's not going to stage a comeback any time soon?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Indeed. Now, Charlotte, OK,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41the high scorers on 110 are Phil and Andrew.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43You are on 100.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46A score of nine or less will see you through to the next round.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Remember, we are looking for Eurovision participants

0:13:48 > 0:13:50who have had a UK number one single.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56OK, I'm going to go with... Oh, yes. I'll say Blue.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Blue.- Yes, it's going to be high. - There is your red line.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Below that red line, Blue will see you through to the next round.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Let's see if Charlotte's right and if she is, let's see how many people said it. Blue.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11It's right.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20You've done it! You've done it, very well done.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23APPLAUSE

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Blue scores you two.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Takes your total up to 102. Very well done,

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Charlotte and Lucy, you are in Round Two.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Richard. Blue. - Low score, isn't it?- Yes.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Blue represented the UK in 2011.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Didn't have a number one with the song they played at Eurovision

0:14:38 > 0:14:40but had three other UK number ones.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43Thanks very much.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Now then, Richard, this ought to be plain sailing for you.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50You're on 16, the high scorers on 110 remain Phil and Andrew,

0:14:50 > 0:14:55which means a score of 93 or less will see you into Round Two.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59- You can talk us through all your options if you like.- Er...

0:14:59 > 0:15:03I know Cliff Richard had one and Lulu.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Cliff Richard.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Cliff Richard, you're going to go with, very best of luck.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Is it right and how many people said Cliff Richard?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Very well done, you've done it.

0:15:19 > 0:15:2323 for Cliff Richard. It takes your total up to 39.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Well done, Richard, he's represented the UK twice,

0:15:29 > 0:15:32with Congratulations, and with Power To All Our Friends.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35He's had 14 number one singles, like a one-man Westlife!

0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Amazing! - Shall we take a look through?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Firstly, let's clear up Andrew and Phil's dilemma.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45We have people who are very unfortunate on this show sometimes.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think this is an absolute case in point - you said Mary Hopkins.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52You are one letter away from being in the next round.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Yeah, Mary Hopkin.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56She had a number one single with Those Were The Days

0:15:56 > 0:15:58before she was in Eurovision for the UK.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02So, 100 points but it's not the same sort of 100 points

0:16:02 > 0:16:04as Sinead O'Connor or Westlife!

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- If she'd said "Westlif"? - "Westlif", I would have accepted.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Before we look at the Pointless ones,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14some of the low scoring ones - Sonia would have been low scoring.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Celine Dion who represented Switzerland would have been a low-scoring answer.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21But let's look at the Pointless ones here.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23See if people at home got any of these.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Julio Iglesias represented Spain in 1970,

0:16:26 > 0:16:29later had a number one with Begin The Beguine.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Esther Ofarim who had a number one with Cinderella Rockefeller,

0:16:32 > 0:16:33she represented Israel in 1963.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37Olivia Newton-John represented the UK in 1974.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41The New Seekers also represented the UK.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42There's Mary Hopkin, I'm afraid.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47Tatu with All The Things She Said, represented Russia in 2003.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Las Ketchup.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51They obviously did The Ketchup Song

0:16:51 > 0:16:54but also had a song called Bloody Mary for Spain

0:16:54 > 0:16:57and Nicole who had a number one with A Little Peace

0:16:57 > 0:17:00represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Very, very well done if you got any of those Pointless answers at home.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07There will be some people at home who got pretty much all of those.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10That's unlucky, isn't it? Mary Hopkin and Mary Hopkins.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Really unlucky.- I s-ed up!

0:17:12 > 0:17:14You s-ed up?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's good. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22At the end of the first round, the pair leaving the show with the highest score,

0:17:22 > 0:17:23it's Andrew and Phil.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'm so sorry.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27And such a good answer as well with Brotherhood Of Man.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29A lovely low score from Andrew.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31And Mary Hopkin would have been Pointless.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34A Pointless answer would have added £250.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Away from £250 in the jackpot.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, you can leave with your heads held high.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Meanwhile, Phil and Andrew, we have to say goodbye, I'm so sorry,

0:17:42 > 0:17:48but we'll see you next time, we look forward to that very much. Thanks so much.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Our category for Round Two is... Quotes.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Can you decide in your pairs who will go first

0:18:09 > 0:18:11and who will go second?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:17 > 0:18:23OK, our Round Two question concerns famous last lines.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Richard?- A good round, this, but quite tough as well.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29We'll show you the famous last lines of some famous films

0:18:29 > 0:18:32and also the years when those films were released.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37An incorrect answer will be 100 points.

0:18:37 > 0:18:3812 in all if you have a go at home.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- I suspect no-one will get all 12. That is my challenge.- Even at home?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Even at home.- Wow.- It's tough.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yes, I'm looking forward to this.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51We're looking for the films from which these famous last lines come.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52And we have got:

0:19:43 > 0:19:46OK, there are the last lines, six last lines for you.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51Lyn, you need to pick the most obscure one you know the answer to

0:19:51 > 0:19:53and hope it scores as low as possible.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56This is not a good one for me.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58There's only one that I think I know.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01"There's No Place Like Home", Wizard Of Oz.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04"There's no place like home," the Wizard Of Oz, says Lyn.

0:20:04 > 0:20:09Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Absolutely right.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18APPLAUSE

0:20:21 > 0:20:2434, not bad. Richard?

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well done, Lyn, spoken by Dorothy, played by Judy Garland, of course.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28Now then, Charlotte.

0:20:28 > 0:20:34Um, well, yeah, I should probably know more of them than I do.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38I'm going to go with "And he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning,"

0:20:38 > 0:20:40and To Kill A Mockingbird.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Let's see if To Kill A Mockingbird is right

0:20:42 > 0:20:45and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48It's right.

0:20:54 > 0:20:552!

0:20:55 > 0:20:58APPLAUSE

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Two, that scores you, that's your second score of two, Charlotte, very well done.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05To Kill A Mockingbird.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Well played, Charlotte, that last line is narrated by the older Scout.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Geoff, you are the last person to have this board,

0:21:11 > 0:21:15so you can talk us through the board, if you like.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18OK, I think I know three left on there.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20You can supply the answers to all those.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I think the top one is Back To The Future,

0:21:22 > 0:21:26I think "Kevin, what did you do to my room?" is Home Alone,

0:21:26 > 0:21:28cos it's Miriam's favourite film,

0:21:28 > 0:21:33and I think "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly," is Psycho.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Let's go with "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly," Psycho.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Psycho, you're saying for the bottom quote.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer, Psycho.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45It's right.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Very, very well done indeed, Geoff.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54APPLAUSE

0:21:54 > 0:21:57That scores you 1, the best score of the pass.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Psycho.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Well played, Geoff, very good answer.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06The back of Geoff's head is good, the front is not bad, either, is it?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08You were absolutely right about the others.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads," is Back To The Future,

0:22:11 > 0:22:13spoken by Doc, for 13 points.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16"Kevin, what did you do to my room?" absolutely was Home Alone,

0:22:16 > 0:22:18that would have scored 8,

0:22:18 > 0:22:20that would have been driving some at home mad.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22And the last one on the board, for 5 points, Xander,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24"All right, Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up?"

0:22:24 > 0:22:28It's what's-her-face in Sunset Boulevard.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Absolutely right, Sunset Boulevard.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- What IS her face? - It was spoken by what's-her-face.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34- What is her face?- Norma Desmond.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Norma Desmond, that's right, yes.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39OK, very good, let's take a look at the scores.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41We're halfway through the round.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43So then, Geoff and Miriam

0:22:43 > 0:22:46looking very, very strong on 1, that was a cracking answer.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Charlotte, great answer from you, you're also looking strong on 2.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52And then, Lyn and Richard, nothing wrong with your answer

0:22:52 > 0:22:55in the first pass, however it was a high scorer.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00So, Richard, we've got to hope you know a really low-scoring answer on the next pass.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:06 > 0:23:10OK, we're going to put six more famous last lines on the board,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13and here they come. We have got...

0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'll read those all one last time...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Now, remember, we are looking for the names of the films

0:23:58 > 0:24:00from which these famous last lines came

0:24:00 > 0:24:03and, obviously, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09Miriam, the high scorers are Richard and Lyn on 34, you're on 1.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13So, a score of 32 or less from you will see you into the head-to-head.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19I'm going to take a total guess and go for,

0:24:19 > 0:24:22"Hello everybody, this is Mrs Norman Maine."

0:24:22 > 0:24:26I have no idea, I'm just going to guess at the Marilyn Monroe film

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Gentleman Prefer Blondes but I've no idea.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34There is your red line. Below that you are through to the next round.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - is it right, how many people said it?

0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Bad luck, Miriam, bad luck. - I knew it.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48An incorrect answer, scores you 100 points, takes you up to 101.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Richard.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yeah, sorry, Miriam, from 1953, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56and the last words of that are, "I must get my roots retouched."

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Obviously.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Lucy, the high scorers on 101 are Miriam and Geoff.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05You're on 2, which means

0:25:05 > 0:25:09a score of 98 or less will see you into the head-to-head.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I don't think I'm going to have a best friend by the end of today...

0:25:13 > 0:25:16LAUGHTER

0:25:16 > 0:25:19I'm going to go with an absolute guess and really, really hope

0:25:19 > 0:25:23it's not blatantly obvious, and say Beauty And The Beast -

0:25:23 > 0:25:25"It was beauty killed the beast."

0:25:25 > 0:25:28And she's shaking her head, and I really regret saying that now.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32You've got eyes in the back of your head Geoff could have done with...

0:25:32 > 0:25:34LAUGHTER

0:25:34 > 0:25:35..all those years ago.

0:25:35 > 0:25:40OK, right, so you are saying Beauty And The Beast

0:25:40 > 0:25:42for "It was beauty killed the beast."

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Is it right, Beauty And The Beast,

0:25:44 > 0:25:46and if it is, how many people said it?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Bad luck, Lucy, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:25:51 > 0:25:55which takes your total to 102.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56- Richard. - Do you ever get the feeling

0:25:56 > 0:26:00you're going to see a documentary in a year's time called "It Was Charlotte Killed Lucy"?

0:26:00 > 0:26:02LAUGHTER

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Richard and Lyn, you're on 34.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09The high scorers are Lucy and Charlotte on 102.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13If you score 67 or less you are through to the head-to-head.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15What do you think of that board behind me, Richard?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19- I think I know three of them. - Brilliant, talk us through them.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22"Hang on, lads, I've got a great idea," I think is the Italian Job.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24"It was beauty killed the beast," was King Kong,

0:26:24 > 0:26:28and "After all, tomorrow's another day," I can't think of it,

0:26:28 > 0:26:32but it's a Clark Gable, it's the big film.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35I'll say "It's beauty killed the beast," King Kong.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38King Kong, "It was beauty killed the beast," says Richard.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said King Kong?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Absolutely right.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49And you are through to the head-to-head, very well done.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54APPLAUSE

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Very well done indeed, a solid performance from Richard and Lyn.

0:26:57 > 0:27:006 takes your total up to 40, sees you into the head-to-head, Richard.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Well played, the last line of King Kong, spoken by Carl Denham.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07"Hang on, lads, I've got a great idea," you're right,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10it's Michael Caine in the Italian Job, 22 points.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13We should end this show on something like that,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15with Charlotte just about to kill Lucy...

0:27:15 > 0:27:17LAUGHTER

0:27:17 > 0:27:18..just deciding whether to or not.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Lucy saying, "Hang on, Charlotte, I've got a good idea."

0:27:21 > 0:27:22LAUGHTER

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Richard, you're absolutely right about "After all, tomorrow's another day,"

0:27:26 > 0:27:29other than the name of the film, which is Gone With The Wind.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31That would have scored 19 points.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Do you want to have a go at any of these? "Well, nobody's perfect?"

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Some Like It Hot.- Absolutely right, would have scored 8 points.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40"Love means never having to say you're sorry"?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Is it Love Story? - It is Love Story, absolutely right,

0:27:42 > 0:27:44would have scored you 14.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46And "Hello, everybody, this is Mrs Norman Maine,"

0:27:46 > 0:27:48that was from A Star Is Born.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51It would have scored you 1 point, the best answer on the board.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Very well done if anybody at home got all 12.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Brilliant, thank you very much, Richard.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59So, at the end of Round Two, the pair with the highest score

0:27:59 > 0:28:02to whom we have to say goodbye, I'm afraid, Charlotte and Lucy.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- LAUGHING:- Charlotte...

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08LAUGHTER

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Will you forgive Lucy?

0:28:10 > 0:28:14- No!- Probably not.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Wow, are you getting separate trains to your different universities?

0:28:17 > 0:28:19We're going to the theatre tonight!

0:28:19 > 0:28:21LAUGHTER

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Lucy, I suggest you get the drinks, is all I'm going to say.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26I mean, mainly so you know what's in them.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28LAUGHTER

0:28:28 > 0:28:32Lucy and Charlotte, thank you so much for playing,

0:28:32 > 0:28:34it's been lovely having you on the show.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36APPLAUSE

0:28:36 > 0:28:38But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get

0:28:38 > 0:28:42even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47APPLAUSE

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Well, congratulations, Richard and Lyn, Miriam and Geoff,

0:28:50 > 0:28:54you are now only one round away from the final and a chance

0:28:54 > 0:28:58to play for our jackpot, which today is standing at £13,250.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00APPLAUSE

0:29:01 > 0:29:05Now, obviously only one pair can play for that money,

0:29:05 > 0:29:07and to decide which it's going to be you are now

0:29:07 > 0:29:10going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13For each question you'll be shown five options on the board.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Each pair needs to give just one answer

0:29:16 > 0:29:18but you are now allowed to confer.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20All you have to do is score less than the other pair

0:29:20 > 0:29:22and you will win that question.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Let's play head-to-head.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31APPLAUSE

0:29:33 > 0:29:38OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

0:29:42 > 0:29:43Olympic Years, Richard.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46We're going to show you five photographs

0:29:46 > 0:29:48of memorable moments from Summer Olympic Games,

0:29:48 > 0:29:52you just have to tell us in which year they were taken, very best of luck.

0:29:52 > 0:29:57OK, thanks very much, let's reveal our five memorable moments,

0:29:57 > 0:29:59and here they are. We have got...

0:30:12 > 0:30:15There we are, five memorable moments from Summer Olympic Games,

0:30:15 > 0:30:17you just have to supply the year.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18Now, Richard and Lyn,

0:30:18 > 0:30:23because you played best throughout the show so far you get to go first.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26I think C might be 1936.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31C, 1936, say Richard and Lyn.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Now then, Miriam and Geoff, you can do

0:30:34 > 0:30:36all your thinking out loud, if you like now.

0:30:36 > 0:30:41Yeah, C was the one I think I knew.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43You think E is 2000.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47- So we'll go E, 2000. - E, 2000 you are saying.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53So, we have C, 1936, from Richard and Lyn.

0:30:53 > 0:30:54Let's see if that is right,

0:30:54 > 0:30:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said C, 1936.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02OK, it's right.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Ooh, look at that! Lovely low score, 12.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12APPLAUSE

0:31:14 > 0:31:1512 for 1936.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Now then, Miriam and Geoff, you've gone for 2000 for E.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25Let's see how much you score for 2000 for E, how many people said it?

0:31:29 > 0:31:30It is right.

0:31:33 > 0:31:34It's going to be close...

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Oh!

0:31:36 > 0:31:38APPLAUSE

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Which means, after one question, Richard and Lyn, you are up 1-0.

0:31:46 > 0:31:47- Richard.- Well played, Richard and Lyn,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50that is Jesse Owens in 1936 in Berlin winning

0:31:50 > 0:31:52the running board jump, as it was called then.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Also won golds for the 100m, 200m and the 4x100 Relay.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00And in 2000 that's Cathy Freeman winning the 400m gold in Sydney.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Let's take a look at the rest of them.

0:32:02 > 0:32:07A is Allan Wells, he won the 100m in Moscow in 1980.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10That would have scored you 8 points.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Do you know B? - I'm going to take a guess, 1984.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16It is 1984 in Los Angeles, that's Zola Budd and Mary Decker,

0:32:16 > 0:32:17just before Mary Decker slipped,

0:32:17 > 0:32:20and that's also Maricica Puica in the back there, who won the gold.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23That would have scored you 9 points.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27And D - do you know D?

0:32:27 > 0:32:31I could try and work it out, but I... I can't be bothered.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33LAUGHTER

0:32:33 > 0:32:37It's Princess Anne and it's in the Montreal Olympics, 1976.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39It would have scored you 4 points.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41She was the only person in the 1976 Olympics

0:32:41 > 0:32:43who didn't have to have a sex test.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46OK, here comes your second question.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47Now then, Miriam and Geoff,

0:32:47 > 0:32:51remember this is the question you have to win to stay in the game.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Your second question concerns...

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Richard, Hamlet.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59We're going to show you five clues to facts about Shakespeare's play,

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Hamlet, can you tell is the answer to the most obscure, please?

0:33:02 > 0:33:05OK, let's reveal our five facts about Hamlet, and here they are.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07We have got...

0:33:22 > 0:33:24I'll read those all one last time...

0:33:38 > 0:33:40There you are, five facts about Hamlet, Miriam and Geoff,

0:33:40 > 0:33:43you get to go first.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Um, we're going to take a guess, the only one we could even guess at,

0:33:47 > 0:33:51which is the actor, we're going to say Kenneth Branagh.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54OK, Kenneth Branagh say Miriam and Geoff,

0:33:54 > 0:33:58the actor who played Hamlet in Zeffirelli's Hamlet in 1990.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Richard and Lyn, you can talk us through the rest of the board, if you like.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03I think we only know two.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Alas, poor Yorick, it's a skull, I think he holds,

0:34:06 > 0:34:08and the country, he's Prince of Denmark.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13- Shall we go for Denmark?- We'll go for country, Prince of Denmark.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Prince of Denmark, you're saying.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19So, Miriam and Geoff have said Kenneth Branagh was the star of the 1990 film.

0:34:19 > 0:34:24Let's see if that is right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26Bad luck.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31And, Richard and Lyn, you are going to go for Prince of Denmark.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32It just has to be right, of course,

0:34:32 > 0:34:36if you get this right you are straight through to the final.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Very best of luck. Denmark, is it right?

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Of course it's right, and you are through.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Very well done indeed, Richard and Lyn,

0:34:53 > 0:34:56after two questions you are through to the final 2-0. Richard.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57Well played again, Richard and Lyn.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Kenneth Branagh has played Hamlet in the past,

0:35:00 > 0:35:02but the Zeffirelli film - do you know this?

0:35:02 > 0:35:04- No.- It was Mel Gibson. - Oh, of course it was!

0:35:04 > 0:35:09Absolutely, and that would have scored you 10 points.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10You'll be good at this.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13So, the prop that Hamlet holds, Richard has given us.

0:35:13 > 0:35:18- That's your skull.- Absolutely, would have scored 62 points, that.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21- The character who drowns? - Ophelia.- Absolutely right.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Would have scored you 14,

0:35:23 > 0:35:26- and the seaport in which most of the action is set?- Elsinore.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Absolutely right, best answer on the board, 4 points.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well done if you got those at home.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34Thanks very much, Richard, so, the losing pair

0:35:34 > 0:35:37at the end of our head-to-head, I'm afraid, Miriam and Geoff.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39But the good news is you'll be back again next time.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42You made it all the way through to the head-to-head this time,

0:35:42 > 0:35:44who knows where you'll stop next time?

0:35:44 > 0:35:46We'll look forward to that very much indeed.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Miriam and Geoff, thanks so much for playing.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51APPLAUSE

0:35:51 > 0:35:55But, for Richard and Lyn, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59APPLAUSE

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Well, congratulations, Richard and Lyn, you've fought off all

0:36:03 > 0:36:06the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:36:15 > 0:36:19and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £13,250.

0:36:19 > 0:36:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Well, listen, the rules are very simple.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33You only have to find one

0:36:33 > 0:36:36and you will go home with all that £13,250 worth of jackpot.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39First you've got to choose a category,

0:36:39 > 0:36:42and you have a choice of five options and they are...

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Sitcoms?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Yeah.- Do you reckon, or not?

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Yeah, go for that.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Modern sitcoms, please. - Modern sitcoms.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Let's find out what your question is.

0:37:02 > 0:37:07Here it comes, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:37:07 > 0:37:11people who have played themselves in Life's Too Short as they could.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Richard.- We're looking for name of any person who's credited with

0:37:15 > 0:37:18playing themselves in the 2011 comedy series Life's Too Short,

0:37:18 > 0:37:21starring Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Warwick Davis.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Obviously we won't accept any of those three names

0:37:23 > 0:37:27but anyone else who played themselves in the 2011 sitcom Life's Too Short.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Very best of luck.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30OK, thank you very much.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38All you need to win that £13,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47There they are, your time starts now.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Johnny Depp was in it.- Yes, did they have Sting in one of them?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- They might have had Sting in it. - I think they did on one of them.

0:37:54 > 0:37:55OK, Sting.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58I know on his earlier ones they had David Bowie

0:37:58 > 0:38:01in one of his earlier ones, Ricky Gervais.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02Going back again, on a theme.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05Is that Life's Too Short, though?

0:38:05 > 0:38:07I don't know. I can't think of anything else.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09Can you think of any others on there?

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Think of who guested on it.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12Yeah, I know.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Depp and possibly Sting, Johnny Depp.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Can't think of anyone else that was on it.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22He was doing the rounds, wasn't he?

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- He was auditioning for films and what have you.- Yeah.

0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Brad Pitt didn't come on it, did he? - No, no, I don't remember Brad Pitt.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31We'll have to say a third name.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Say David Bowie, I think, I can't think of any other.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37So that's David Bowie...

0:38:37 > 0:38:3810 seconds left.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40..Johnny Depp and Sting.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42- That is the only three. - I'm not really sure about Sting.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45- No, I'm not 100%. - Yeah, OK.

0:38:45 > 0:38:50OK, your time is up. I now need your three answers.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Johnny Depp, Sting, David Bowie.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Of those three,

0:38:56 > 0:38:59which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:01 > 0:39:02- Probably Sting.- Sting, yeah.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06We'll pop him last. Which is your least likely, do you think?

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- David Bowie, I think. - David Bowie, we'll put him first.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11And we'll put Johnny Depp in the middle.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14OK, let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they are.

0:39:14 > 0:39:20We have got David Bowie, Johnny Depp and Sting.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24OK, we were looking for people who've played themselves

0:39:24 > 0:39:26in the sitcom Life's Too Short.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29David Bowie, your least confident answer.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win

0:39:33 > 0:39:35that £13,250 jackpot.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39What would you do with £13,250, Richard?

0:39:39 > 0:39:42We would like to go on a cruise off the east coast of the States,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45do New York and Boston, etc.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49Well, very best of luck. OK, let's see if David Bowie is right,

0:39:49 > 0:39:52and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said David Bowie.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Bad luck.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Bad luck, an incorrect answer, as it turns out,

0:40:01 > 0:40:03so not a pointless answer.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05But I think you weren't really sure about David Bowie anyway,

0:40:05 > 0:40:07so that's fine.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10OK, you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15We're looking for people who've played themselves in Life's Too Short.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Your next answer, Johnny Depp, you said immediately,

0:40:18 > 0:40:21so we're pretty confident about that.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Has to be pointless, of course, to win that jackpot of £13,250

0:40:24 > 0:40:27but let's see how many people said Johnny Depp. Is it right?

0:40:29 > 0:40:31OK, it's right.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36Now we have to see how many of our 100 people watched Life's Too Short

0:40:36 > 0:40:38and remembered that Johnny Depp had been in it.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Down it goes into the teens, into single figures...

0:40:41 > 0:40:428!

0:40:42 > 0:40:44APPLAUSE

0:40:48 > 0:40:498 for Johnny Depp.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53You have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Everything is riding on Sting.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Looking for people who've played themselves in Life's Too Short,

0:40:59 > 0:41:02your third and final, most confident answer was Sting, let's see

0:41:02 > 0:41:06if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Sting.

0:41:08 > 0:41:13It's right. This for £13,250.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16You said Johnny Depp, that went down to 8.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18You've now gone with Sting, let's see where this stops.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Still going down...

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Oh!

0:41:21 > 0:41:23- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!

0:41:23 > 0:41:242!

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Oh, I'm sorry.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:33 > 0:41:36so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £13,250,

0:41:36 > 0:41:38which rolls over on to the next show

0:41:38 > 0:41:41but you have been brilliant contestants, and you do of course

0:41:41 > 0:41:44get to take home the Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45APPLAUSE

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Come on then, Richard, what were the pointless answers?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56You played faultlessly throughout, so I am sorry.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59First, some other low-scoring ones - Les Dennis was a low scorer,

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Helena Bonham Carter, Shaun Williamson, Liam Neeson had a very,

0:42:02 > 0:42:06very funny cameo, he was a low-scorer, but let's look at

0:42:06 > 0:42:10the pointless ones, there'll be some names you recognise, I suspect.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Ewen McIntosh, who's Keith in the office, a friend of the show.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Fred Fairbrass from Right Said Fred, Keith Chegwin was in it -

0:42:16 > 0:42:17he was also in Extras.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20All of those pointless, well done if you said any of those.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Richard Fairbrass - also from Right Said Fred -

0:42:23 > 0:42:27Sophie Ellis-Bextor was in Life's Too Short, Steve Carell...

0:42:27 > 0:42:29and Victoria Hollins, the BBC London newsreader.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32All those pointless, very well done if you said any of those.

0:42:32 > 0:42:36Unfortunately, Richard and Lyn, we have to say goodbye, but it's been wonderful

0:42:36 > 0:42:40having you on the show, thank you both so much for playing, great contestants.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Thank you very much, thoroughly enjoyed it.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44APPLAUSE
