0:00:20 > 0:00:24APPLAUSE
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, welcome back, Pete and Declan,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45you are our first pair on the show again.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47You were first last time.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- We were indeed.- What is it with that podium? You must love it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- It's an unlucky podium. - It can be, it can be.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- It was!- But remind us how you know each other, Pete and Declan.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm his son, and...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00yeah, that's about it, again.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Second time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I'm his father.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- There we go. It works that way, doesn't it?- Yeah, it does.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Very good. Remind us what happened last time.- We were going really well
0:01:11 > 0:01:14until Declan had to answer questions.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16LAUGHTER
0:01:16 > 0:01:18US state capital. Do you know what?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I couldn't answer a single one of those. I was useless.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Well, great to have you back. Best of luck.- Thank you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29We welcome back Caroline and Andy, who were also on the show last time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Remind us what happened.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I had to answer a question, that's where it all went wrong.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Awful at films.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Footloose. You should see that film.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And then forget it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yeah, Patrick Moore and Demi...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Patrick Swayze and Demi...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48LAUGHTER
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Patrick Moore and who were in Ghost?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- They are brother and sister, you know that?- Patrick and Demi Moore?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- I didn't know that.- Yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03If she puts her monocle in, you can see it instantly.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I knew she was Roger Moore's sister, but Patrick Moore as well?- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Wow.- Amazing.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And Dudley.- And Dudley.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Anything you'd like to come up this afternoon, Caroline?- Maybe...
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Bad zombie films?- Bad zombie films?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Do they have to be bad?- That's the specialist subject, really.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Troma films, that kind of thing? - Just terrible...
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Even worse than that?- Pretty bad, yeah. The worse the better, really.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Great to have you back. Let's hope we see a lot more of you today.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Next we welcome Jane and Andrew. Now, how do you two know each other?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Well, Xander, we've been married for ten years.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Ah.- Oh, 11 years.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Oh!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Are we going to be hearing that noise a bit this afternoon, Jane?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You put a foot wrong there, Andrew.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- 11 years?- Yep.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- We met on the internet.- Did you? And where have you come from?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Well, this week we've come from West Wales, Pembroke Dock.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Where were you from last week?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05LAUGHTER
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Well...- Pembroke Dock?- Yep.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Still Pembroke Dock? Very good indeed.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Jane, what are your hobbies?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- I do card-making.- You make cards?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yes, I make cards.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Greetings cards?- Yes.- That's not the Welshest accent I've ever heard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's the new Pembrokeshire accent.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Is it? The NEW Pembrokeshire accent? - The new Pembrokeshire accent.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28They're all from the Deep South, are they?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Where are you from, Jane? - I'm from New Orleans originally.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You're from... You see, we still call it New Orle-ans,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38we will still insist on calling it New Orle-ans.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42It's dripping into our vernacular. Occasionally people say New Orleans.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Or New Awlins.- N'awlins.- N'awlins.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Andrew, what do you do?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well, I'm a computer engineer, self-employed,
0:03:50 > 0:03:51but at this moment in time,
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- I'm also the Mayor of Pembroke Dock. - You're the Mayor of Pembroke Dock?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58What would you like to see come up today, Andrew?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- What's a good topic for you? - A good topic for me would be...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- American state capitals.- Ach!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Star Trek?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Star Trek? Very good.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Great to have you on the show. This is an amazing mixture of...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- It's a good group.- Star Trek and...
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- A good group.- Welcome to the show. Best of luck. And finally,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20we have Melika and Melissa. How do you two know each other?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24We've been going to the same school for about seven years, so met there.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- You could hardly fail. How old are you now?- 18.- 18.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30That's a very rude question, shouldn't ask that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33We waited until she turned 18 and applied the day after.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Very good, well done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Can't wait to get on.- You may be our youngest contestants yet.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42It's like a driving test. You do it on the day of your 17th birthday.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Yeah. People get their provisional Pointless application forms...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51So they have to play the game with their mum, for three or four months.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52After a while...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- They can do it on their own. - Yeah, come on it for real.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- So you're still at school?- Yeah. - Hoping to go to uni?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Hopefully. I want to do psychology next year.- Wow.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- So your sights are set?- Yeah. - Very, very good.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07You hope your admissions tutors aren't watching,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10or maybe are. Maybe you can dazzle them.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14It'd be great, if Pointless replaces the UCAS form as admission to...
0:05:14 > 0:05:15- Not a bad idea.- It's not.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Put that in my big book of terrific ideas.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- We have a book, haven't we?- We have.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I haven't shown it to you, but every time, I go and write it down.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Lot of publishers interested. - Yeah. There would be.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- It's lovely to have you here, Melika and Melissa.- Thank you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33We'll find out more about all of you through the show.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39On his winter holiday you can find him teaching the Swiss how to yodel.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43He is my Pointless friend... I know. He's Richard.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I know.- Hello. Hiya.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47APPLAUSE
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I don't often question your introductions, bizarre as they are,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but I genuinely, genuinely think
0:05:59 > 0:06:03you need to take a really good, long hard think before the next show,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06about those introductions, because that is not good enough.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09No, it's actually beneath you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- I think you're capable of better.- But you see the point I'm getting at?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, I teach the Swiss to yodel.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Two returning pairs today - Pete and Declan, unlucky last time,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Caroline and Andy, also unlucky, I think they should do well.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26A real mixed bag of contestants. It should be a lot of fun today.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Thank you, Richard. All questions on Pointless were put to 100 people before the show,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We're looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36To stay in the game and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39our players need to score as few points as possible.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42What everyone's looking to do is find a pointless answer,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52No-one won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56£4,000.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE
0:07:01 > 0:07:03OK, let's play Pointless.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06APPLAUSE
0:07:11 > 0:07:13In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round
0:07:19 > 0:07:24will be eliminated. If anyone gives an incorrect answer, they score 100,
0:07:24 > 0:07:25so try and avoid those if you can.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Words. Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Let's find out what the question is.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:46 > 0:07:53to name as many words ending in "U-S-H" as they could. Richard.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We're looking for words in the Oxford English Dictionary
0:07:56 > 0:07:58that end in the letters "U-S-H".
0:07:58 > 0:08:00No hyphenated words or proper nouns
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and we won't allow the word "ush" itself.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Pete and Declan, you all drew lots before the show
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Mind goes blank, Alexander.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's going to be a high score,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18but the only one I can think of
0:08:18 > 0:08:21is crush.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, crush is what you are going to give us.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Pete, let's see if that's right,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and if so, how many of our 100 people said crush.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30It's right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:3632.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37APPLAUSE
0:08:37 > 0:08:3932, it's not too high.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Could be a lot worse.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Crush, Richard.- Yeah, tough on that first podium as well.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Can mean a drink, can be an infatuation, can be a crowd. Crush.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Thank you very much. Andy,
0:08:52 > 0:08:57What's the most obscure word ending in "U-S-H" you can think of?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I can't think of too many.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But I'm going to go for plush.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Plush?- Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Very good. Let's see if plush is right
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and if it is, let's see how many people said plush.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:1521.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- It's all good. Plush, Richard. - Yeah, luxurious or sumptuous.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I love looking at everyone's faces, people who haven't gone yet.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28They're dead behind the eyes,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- just going through a dictionary in their heads.- Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- As are you, I think. - No, this is me all the time.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39OK, Jane. U-S-H.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I'm going to have to say rush.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42That's the only thing I can think of.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OK, rush, says Jane.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said rush.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It's right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5356.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55APPLAUSE
0:09:56 > 0:09:5756 for rush.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Don't need me to tell you what rush means, surely.- No, I do, actually.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's a Canadian heavy metal band or an ex-Liverpool footballer.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Thank you very much.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11And Melissa. Remember we are looking for words ending in "U-S-H".
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I think it's going to be quite high, but I'm going to go with flush.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21Flush. Let's see how many people said flush.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's correct!
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- 25 for Flush.- Pete - you feeling a bit happier about your answer?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- A very high-scoring first pass. - Yeah, it really was.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We're halfway through the round.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Best score of the round,
0:10:44 > 0:10:4721, Andy and Caroline.
0:10:47 > 0:10:5025, Melissa and Melika.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Up to 32 for Pete and Declan,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57then 56 for Jane and Andrew. Andrew, you'll need a really good...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I think you've got one!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02That looks like a man who's found a brilliant word.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04That looks like a Mayor with an answer, to me.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08OK, can the second players please take their places?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17OK, we are looking for words ending in "U-S-H". Melika.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I can't think of many, so I think this might be quite high.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I'm going to go for shush, like "Be quiet."
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK - shush, says Melika.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The high scorers are Andrew and Jane on 56,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32which means if you can score 30 or less,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35you are through to the next round for sure.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Below that red line,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38you're through.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Shush - how many people said that?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's correct!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You've done it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:5315. Best score so far. Takes your total up to 40.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well played, best answer yet. Shush.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00It's also the name of the librarians' union. LAUGHTER
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Andrew. We are looking for words ending in "U-S-H".
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You're the high scorers, on 56.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10We need a great answer from you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, I thought of thrush.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Thrush. OK... - SOME GIGGLING
0:12:17 > 0:12:19No red line for you,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20you're the high scorers.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Let's see if thrush is right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's right!
0:12:32 > 0:12:3713, best answer so far. Takes your total up to 69.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Not bad at all. Puts pressure on the last two pairs at least.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Caroline, we are looking for
0:12:43 > 0:12:45words ending in "U-S-H".
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The high scorers are Andrew and Jane on 69 -
0:12:48 > 0:12:49you are on 21,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54which means 47 or less is enough to see you through.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I'm going to go with... hush.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Hush, says Caroline.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03If you can get below the red line,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04you are through.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06How many people said hush?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's correct!
0:13:13 > 0:13:1553, Caroline and Andy.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Yeah, big score, hush.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23That's also the name of the breakaway librarians' union.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26LAUGHTER
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Declan, we come to you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The high scorers are Caroline and Andy on 74 -
0:13:30 > 0:13:31if you can score 41 or less,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36through you go to the next round.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I think I'm going to go for mush.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Mush. OK - mush, says Declan.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Let's see if it's right,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and how many people said it.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Below that red line - through to the next round. Mush.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's correct!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Oh... 57 for mush.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01That takes your total up to 89.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Richard.- Unlucky, Declan - huge amounts of high scores there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08We've had a lot of the biggest scorers on the list, actually.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Let's see some of the pointless answers.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13There are some quite surprising words on there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Airbrush is the first one - we have airbrush make-up now,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20because we're in HD. Sprayed onto our faces, like we're cars.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Power-hosed. Three people holding it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Cartoush, which is a type of bedgown.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Downrush, that's a pointless answer. Paintbrush, pointless answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Hairbrush would have scored you one point as well.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Rosebush, pointless answer. Saltbush, also pointless.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Spicebush, pointless.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Tiddlypush, of course(!) LAUGHTER
0:14:41 > 0:14:45That was pointless. And whush. Lots of pointless answers there.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Is that how you spell whush? - It's- a- way of spelling it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54You can also spell it W-O-O-S-H, or W-H-O-O-S-H. Should you wish.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58As you say, a very high-scoring round there.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01At the end of that, our losing pair with the highest score -
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm afraid it's Pete and Declan.
0:15:04 > 0:15:0589.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's not the highest score
0:15:07 > 0:15:10we've ever said goodbye to people for,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12but for a word round, quite often
0:15:12 > 0:15:13we get some quite nice low scores.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yeah, we deserve to go.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You say that, Pete. That sounds like a forced stoicism.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I don't believe you.- I'm very sad.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24What are you going to take away from your Pointless experience?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26We just had a great time.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Well, it's been lovely having you on. Thank you so much for playing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Declan and Pete, everyone.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:15:37 > 0:15:40For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Poets. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Our Round Two question concerns...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Poets and their first names.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19We're going to show you a list of six famous poets - all you have to do
0:16:19 > 0:16:22is give us their correct first names.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26An obscure answer will score you fewer points, but a wrong answer will score you 100.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28There will be 12 poets in all.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32OK, thanks very much. So we are looking for the first names of these poets. And we have got...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'll read all of those again.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- There we are. Andy, nice board of poets for you.- Yeah.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- How is that looking to you?- OK...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12There's two that I think I know.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Well, as always you're looking for
0:17:14 > 0:17:17the one that you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Yeah. Erm... I'm going to say, Philip Larkin?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Philip Larkin. OK. Let's see if that's right,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31It's right.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- 27. Richard.- Well done, Andy, that's very handy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48LAUGHTER I shouldn't really start that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- It could be a rod for your own back. - Yeah. But it was very handy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It was. Good answer.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Andrew. We're looking for
0:17:56 > 0:17:59the first names of these poets.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I think John Donne.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04John Donne, there he is at the bottom.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10let's see how many people knew that that was his first name.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's correct.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Good answer, Andrew. 17.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Well, this is easy. Well done, Andy, that's very handy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Metaphysical poet. Ended up as an Anglican priest -
0:18:29 > 0:18:32certainly didn't start out as one.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Melissa. You are the last person to have this board.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You can take us through all of these poets
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and supply their first names.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Well, I can't do all of them, but...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Byron - I only know his name as Lord Byron,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48and I don't actually think Lord is his first name.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I can't think what his first name is.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54And the only other one I know is Ayres -
0:18:54 > 0:18:58and I think it's Pam Ayres, so I'm hoping it's fairly low.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02You're going to go for Pam Ayres. Let's see if that's right,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Popular answer.
0:19:14 > 0:19:1663 for Pam Ayres.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20A big score, but if you're on the end podium, better than getting 100.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Let's take a look at all the answers. Angelou is Maya Angelou,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27the American poet. Would have scored you 18.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Byron, it's very low, because I think people know him
0:19:30 > 0:19:31as Lord Byron.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's George Byron. Which would have scored 2.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Pam Ayres will be glad to know that
0:19:35 > 0:19:403,100% more people know her first name than Byron's.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41She will be pleased.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45And Swinburne - five people said it was Walter, but he's a jockey,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49but one person knew it was Algernon.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Very well done if you said that at home, or got all six as well.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55We're halfway through the round,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:19:58 > 0:19:5917 is the best score showing -
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Andrew and Jane looking very strong there.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0427, Andy and Caroline.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Then 63 - Melika, you're going to have to find some really good
0:20:08 > 0:20:10obscure poetry knowledge
0:20:10 > 0:20:12for the next pass. Good luck with that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21We'll put six more poets
0:20:21 > 0:20:23up on the board, and we have got....
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'll read through those one more time.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Remember, we are looking for
0:20:50 > 0:20:53the first names of these poets, and you want the one
0:20:53 > 0:20:57that the fewest of our 100 people knew. Now, Melika,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59you are the high scorers on 63, so you've got to find
0:20:59 > 0:21:03a nice obscure one. But you get the pick of the board.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well, there's one I think
0:21:05 > 0:21:06might be right, but I'm not sure.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08One I know's going to be high,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10so I'll go for Heaney, and Seamus.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13OK, very good. There's no red line,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15because you are the highest scorers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's see if Seamus Heaney is right,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:2821, that's a great score.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Very well done. Let's hope it's good enough -
0:21:32 > 0:21:34it takes your total up to 84.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You might have kept yourself in the game.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995, Seamus Heaney.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Very good. Thank you...
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I mean, I wasn't damning him with faint praise -
0:21:46 > 0:21:48that was brilliant that he won the Nobel Prize.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51He also came out in praise of Eminem recently.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Yes.- Said he sent a voltage around a generation, Eminem.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Very good.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Jane, on 84, our high scorers are Melika and Melissa.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00You are on 17 -
0:22:00 > 0:22:04should you score 66 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We're looking for the first names
0:22:06 > 0:22:10of these poets. What are you thinking?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'm thinking this is going to be bad. Very bad!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Oh, that just sounds so good in her accent!- Yeah, it does.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Oh...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I have no clue!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Do you want to sing a song about it, maybe?- No.- Oh.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I think I will just guess at a name.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I mean, it's a first name.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Might be a popular name.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So I'm going to go with Wordsworth, and say...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35John. Cos I have no idea.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- John Wordsworth.- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Well, let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Your red line - if John Wordsworth can get you
0:22:44 > 0:22:46below that red line, you are through
0:22:46 > 0:22:50to the next round. Very best of luck. John Wordsworth.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Bad luck, Jane!- I knew. - I think you did know.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I bet there has BEEN a John Wordsworth.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01There was a Bishop Wordsworth... That's all I know.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03LAUGHTER
0:23:03 > 0:23:05There we are. I'm afraid that scores
0:23:05 > 0:23:07the maximum of 100 points,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09so I'm afraid that takes your total up to 117.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Caroline.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14The high scorers are now Jane and Andrew on 117.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15You are on 27 -
0:23:15 > 0:23:18that means 89 or less
0:23:18 > 0:23:21will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- You can also finish off the board. - I feel like I should be able to,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29cos I studied most of them at uni, but I honestly can't remember
0:23:29 > 0:23:32the majority of the names!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Plath - the only Plath I know is Sylvia Plath,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38but as a poet...? Don't know. Shelley -
0:23:38 > 0:23:40either Mary or Percy.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Probably Percy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Marvell, I've no idea.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Wordsworth...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47is William, I think.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Auden is definitely initial W,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52but I've no idea what it stands for.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53I've managed to convince myself
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I don't know any of them now!
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I'm going to go for...
0:23:59 > 0:24:00William Wordsworth.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02William Wordsworth, says Caroline.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04OK, here's your red line -
0:24:04 > 0:24:06nice and high. Below that red line
0:24:06 > 0:24:08you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11William Wordsworth - is it right, how many people said it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's right!
0:24:16 > 0:24:2171, for William Wordsworth. Very, very high score.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Takes your total to 98 -
0:24:22 > 0:24:24good enough to see you through.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Yeah, William Wordsworth, big score,
0:24:27 > 0:24:28but perfectly adequate.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30He wrote, "I wandered lonely as a cloud,"
0:24:30 > 0:24:34whereas John Wordsworth wrote "I wandered lonely as a... I dunno."
0:24:35 > 0:24:37He wasn't a poet, you see.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Let's look through them. You should have trusted your instincts,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42it is Sylvia Plath, of course -
0:24:42 > 0:24:45that would have scored you 31 points.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Percy Shelley, he's the poet.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50That would have scored you 18.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Auden - do you know his first name?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, it's going to be something fun, like...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I wouldn't say fun, don't get your hopes up!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's not going to be like a night at the circus.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03It's going to be Wilberforce, or something like that.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07It's Wystan. So well done if you said that.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09And Marvell is a pointless answer,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11but I would bet my house that you know that.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Andrew.- Andrew Marvell, exactly.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Another metaphysical poet.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Very well done if you got that whole board.- Splendid.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score -
0:25:21 > 0:25:24it's Jane and Andrew. Bad luck.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26That was a tough board for you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- It was.- How was the first board for you, was that easier?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Yeah, that was quite a bit easier.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Well, it was tough, that one. But we will see you again next time -
0:25:37 > 0:25:39what guiding principle are you going to take away
0:25:39 > 0:25:43from your experience today?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Study up on literature or poetry?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But any sort of tactics about who should go first,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51where's the best podium...?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Have you got a bit of podium envy? - No, as long as I'm on the ground...
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- OK. We do have a floating podium available...- No, this is fine.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Would have preferred Andrew to go first all the time.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- So that's going to be your tactic next time?- I'd like it to be.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Very good.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Well, we'll see you next time,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- and I hope you go a lot further. - Thank you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing, Jane and Andrew.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15APPLAUSE
0:26:18 > 0:26:20For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get
0:26:20 > 0:26:22even more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Congratulations, Melika, Melissa, Caroline and Andy,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36you've made it to the head-to-head. You are now only one round away
0:26:36 > 0:26:41from the chance to play for that jackpot, which stands at £4,000.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Only one pair can play for the money, and to decide
0:26:46 > 0:26:49which pair it's going to be, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Now, for each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Each pair needs to give me one answer,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57but you are allowed to confer.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Score less than the other pair, and you will win that question.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Let's play head-to-head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Richard?- We're going to show you five photographs
0:27:23 > 0:27:27of famous performers who started their careers as child stars.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29You just have to pick the most obscure.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31OK. Thank you very much.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35So let's reveal our five former child stars, and we have got...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54OK, there they all are.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Former child stars, the lot of them.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Melika and Melissa, you have played so far,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02so you get to go first.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05There are five former child stars -
0:28:05 > 0:28:08we want you to name the one that
0:28:08 > 0:28:11you think the fewest of our 100 people would have known.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I know A is Macaulay Culkin, that's all I know.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17E, I think that is...
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Oh, what's her name? She was in ET.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I don't know any of the others.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26We're going to go A, Macaulay Culkin.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29A, Macaulay Culkin. OK.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Caroline and Andy?- We're going to go
0:28:31 > 0:28:34C, Haley Joel Osment.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37C, Haley Joel Osment.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39OK - in the order they were given,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Melika and Melissa have said Macaulay Culkin.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49It's right.
0:28:55 > 0:28:5850 for Macaulay Culkin.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Caroline and Andy
0:29:00 > 0:29:02have gone for Haley Joel Osment.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10It's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15And it wins.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Down it goes, brilliant...
0:29:17 > 0:29:186.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23That's a great answer.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27So, after one question, Caroline and Andy are ahead 1-0. Richard.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Haley Joel Osment starred in The Sixth Sense. Very well played.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Macaulay Culkin was in Home Alone.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Now, B is Mickey Rooney. That would have scored you 40 points.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42We've seen Haley Joel Osment there,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45D would have scored only 11 points - it's Shirley Temple,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47who after leaving acting went into politics,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51was an American ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54And Melissa, you've said E was in ET, and you're absolutely right -
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Drew Barrymore. Would have scored 23 points though,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01so still wouldn't have won you the point.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Haley Joel Osment looks like he now plays county cricket.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Yeah. Or like he's playing a young Prince William
0:30:06 > 0:30:10in an American made-for-TV movie.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12LAUGHTER
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Here comes your second question. Now, Melika and Melissa,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- you have to win this question to stay in the game.- Hopefully.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22OK. No pressure. Here it comes.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Our second question concerns...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Wine. Richard.- We're going to give you five clues to facts about wine -
0:30:32 > 0:30:36you just have to give us the most obscure fact you can find.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Thank you very much. Here come our clues
0:30:40 > 0:30:42to facts about wine. And they are...
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I'll read those all one more time.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13So there are our five clues to facts
0:31:13 > 0:31:17about wine. Caroline and Andy, you go first this time.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20You want the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23THEY CONFER
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Melika and Melissa, you can confer as well, if you like.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38OK. Erm... I think we're going to go for the French term for a restaurant
0:31:38 > 0:31:41wine expert, and hope that it's...
0:31:41 > 0:31:45I don't know how to say it, I think it's a Somalier?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Somalier, you're going to say. - Mmm.- OK.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52OK, we're going to go with the branch of study that deals
0:31:52 > 0:31:54with wine, and say vinology?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Vinology.- OK, the French term for
0:31:56 > 0:32:01restaurant wine expert, as you said, is...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04What I TRIED to say! Is it Somalier...?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- Sommelier, I will take that. Yup. - Sorry.- I will take that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15let's see how many people said it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16It's right.
0:32:25 > 0:32:2722.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Melika and Melissa have gone for vinology, the study of wine.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Let's see if that's right,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Vinology.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Which means after two questions,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Caroline and Andy are through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Very well done. Richard.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Yeah, vinology sounds like it should be right, it's actually oenology.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Would have scored you 6 points, would have been a very good answer.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02The large bottle equivalent to two regular wine bottles is a magnum.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That was a fairly high scorer, that was 42.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09The Greek god of wine - I think you were thinking of going for Bacchus.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12That's the ROMAN god of wine. It's Dionysus.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Would have scored 9 points.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16And the Latin phrase meaning "truth in wine"
0:33:16 > 0:33:20is "in vino veritas", and that would have been 21 points.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Melika and Melissa.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I thought that was really tough, the child stars one.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33You actually gave the name of the only one I knew.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34I recognised Haley Joel Osment...
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- He's not really changed from childhood.- No. Still looks the same.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I couldn't place what he'd been in.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44I thought he might have been that guy from Harry Potter, just been on the pies.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47LAUGHTER
0:33:47 > 0:33:50But I'm glad it wasn't.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Well, we will see you again next time. Have you got any tactics
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- you're going to bring to bear next time?- Swot up on wine!
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Yeah. Maybe...drink.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03LAUGHTER
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Well, not for Melika - maybe I need to help the side a little bit more.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You've done so well. I wouldn't change what you've done.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12And next time let's hope we'll see you all the way
0:34:12 > 0:34:16through to the final. Thank you so much, Melika and Melissa.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING
0:34:22 > 0:34:26But for Andy and Caroline, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Well, congratulations, Caroline and Andy -
0:34:34 > 0:34:39you have fought off all the competition, and you have won the coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55WHOOPING
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Now, to win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05We haven't had any on the show today. You only have to find one now and you will take that money home.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07First you've got to choose a category,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10and you've got five categories to choose from, and they are...
0:35:19 > 0:35:20What do you reckon?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- You don't like any of those, do you? - No, I don't fancy the look of them.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29Erm... I'd prefer either Film or UK Pop Duos.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Yeah, I'd say those two.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Which one?- I don't have any preferences, to be honest.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Shall we go for Film?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Yeah, go on. Yeah. - Oh, go on. We get a trophy!
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Exactly.- We'll say Film.- You've got a coveted Pointless trophy!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I'm so happy with that, seriously! - So we're going to go for Film?- Yeah.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Hesitantly, but Film it is. Let's find out what our question is.
0:35:52 > 0:35:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:35:58 > 0:36:01stars of The Great Escape as they could. OK. Richard.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Yeah, any actor who played one of the Allied prisoners of war
0:36:05 > 0:36:10in the 1963 film The Great Escape, and are mentioned in the credits.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Very best of luck.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:15 > 0:36:20and all you need to win that £4,000 is for one of them to be pointless.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23We will put 60 seconds on the clock, and your time starts now.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- OK, I know Steve McQueen's in it. That's the only one I know.- Yep.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30This is going to be a long minute!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- I don't know...- Can you think of any other actors at that time?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- '60s?- I always think of like, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- I honestly don't know. - I really don't know.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Do you know any actors from that period?- Peter Sellers?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Peter Sellers? No, Peter Sellers isn't in it. Erm...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We're just going to have to go with, like...
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Just guess people around that time. - Yeah. I don't know anybody.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Who was in that awful film my dad made us watch the other day,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- The Guns of Navarone...? - Oh, I don't know.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07We're going to have to say, Steve McQueen...
0:37:09 > 0:37:10James something?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I literally am guessing just names. - Ten seconds.- No idea.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Paul Newman... - Paul Newman, and James...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Walters.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29OK, your time is up. You have three answers, by the sound of things.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Neither of us have seen The Great Escape.- OK...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- You should see it.- It's one of those things that you should.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- Definitely now.- That's really tough, though. It's horrible.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Having to make up answers for a film
0:37:42 > 0:37:46you haven't seen. Well, you sound like you're sure of one answer?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- And the other two... you've drafted in.- Pure guesses.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53One of them probably isn't even a person.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57OK. I now need your three answers.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01We were looking for stars from the film The Great Escape,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- who played Allied prisoners. - Steve McQueen for one...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Who's the one in Escape to Victory?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- No...- Er... Paul Newman.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Paul Newman.- And...
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- The one you made up?- James Walters.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- That well-known actor. - What's become of James Walters(?)
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- I know!- He was so good in all those films in the '60s. And then...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26That's showbiz.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- OK, which of those is your strongest suit?- Newman, seeing as he exists?
0:38:31 > 0:38:36Newman does exist, but... We'll put Newman. He's probably not in it...
0:38:36 > 0:38:40If he were - could be a brilliant finale. We'll put him last.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Which is your least likely? - James Walters.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47Poor James Walters. OK, we'll put him up there at the top.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50So James Walters, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54OK, we'll put them up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03OK, we were looking for actors who played the Allied prisoners in The Great Escape.
0:39:03 > 0:39:10Your least confident answer, your made-up answer, is James Walters.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Shall we just see if that's a right answer,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14and how many people said James Walters?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18James Walters...
0:39:18 > 0:39:19No.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Well, we're not surprised.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Unfortunately not a pointless answer, so two shots left. They could both be right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35They could both be pointless. What would you spend four grand on?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'd put it towards my Masters.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Yeah. That'd go a long way.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I'd probably get a copy of The Great Escape...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44LAUGHTER
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- You could probably get a deluxe edition for that.- Maybe get Blu-ray!
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- I don't have a player, but, you know...- One step at a time!
0:39:52 > 0:39:57OK. Well, best of luck. Actors who played the Allied prisoners in The Great Escape -
0:39:57 > 0:40:03Let's hope your next answer is correct, and nobody said Steve McQueen.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Is it right, how many people said it? Steve McQueen.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12Well, it's right. It now has to be pointless for you to win...
0:40:12 > 0:40:1467. Wow.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Listen, we are moving in the right direction.
0:40:22 > 0:40:2667. All we need now,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30is for Paul Newman to have had a little walk-on part
0:40:30 > 0:40:34as a prisoner of war in The Great Escape, in such a way
0:40:34 > 0:40:37that most people forgot about it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40OK, your third and final answer, Paul Newman.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43You said this was your most confident answer.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45That wasn't saying very much!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Well, to win the jackpot of £4,000,
0:40:47 > 0:40:51it has to be correct and it has to be pointless. Let's see -
0:40:51 > 0:40:54is it right, how many people said Paul Newman?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56No! Bad luck.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, there we have it.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Unfortunately it was a very tough question for you.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03If you've never seen the film!
0:41:03 > 0:41:06If you've never seen the film, getting one out of three ain't bad.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11Unfortunately you didn't manage to find a pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:41:11 > 0:41:14today's jackpot of £4,000, which will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17But you have been fantastic contestants, and you do take home
0:41:17 > 0:41:20our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22CHEERING AND WHISTLING
0:41:26 > 0:41:31- So Richard...- Yeah, no Paul Newman, I'm afraid, no James Walters either.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33James Garner is in it.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, all sorts of people.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40There are seven pointless answers here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43If you got any of these at home, I doff my imaginary cap to you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46There's a couple you might have got, but I think they're pretty tough.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Angus Lennie - he played Ives, The Mole, one of the bigger parts.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Jud Taylor, who played Goff.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Lawrence Montaigne, who played Haynes, both pointless.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Nigel Stock played Cavendish, The Surveyor.
0:41:59 > 0:42:05Robert Desmond, he played Griffith, The Tailor. Tom Adams was Dai Nimmo.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08And William Russell, who played Sorren, AKA Security.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Very, very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15So you could have had really good answers
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and still be in the same position you're in now.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21We do have to say goodbye to you, Caroline and Andy,
0:42:21 > 0:42:26but it's been fantastic having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Unfortunately, Caroline and Andy didn't win the jackpot today,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39so it rolls over, which means on the next show we will be playing for...
0:42:39 > 0:42:42WHOOPING
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
