0:00:25 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, welcome, Ryan and Ayesha.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42You are our first pair today. How do you two know each other, Ayesha?
0:00:42 > 0:00:43We're engaged.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46You're engaged? How long have you been engaged, Ryan?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Since last August.- Since last August. How did you do it?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54It was on a beach down in St Ives, Cornwall.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Very nice. Had you any idea this was coming, Ayesha?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Absolutely none whatsoever.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- It took me about three minutes to give him an answer.- Really?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03That must've been three very long minutes, Ryan.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06It was, and it was "No," initially, as well.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Oh!- And then she changed it very quickly.- Thank goodness.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Thank goodness.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, let's hope you're still engaged at the end of Pointless.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Well, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Next, we welcome back Aislinn and Jess.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22You were on the show last time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27This is that last chance for you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Aislinn, what happened last time?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I very much let the team down on motorsport.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Well, you know, it wasn't your category.- No.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Jess, what are you hoping is going to happen today?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43The opposite of what happened yesterday, in short.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'd quite like history to come up. I quite like history.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Any particular period? - Quite keen on the Tudors.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Welcome back, Aislinn and Jess. I'm sure we'll see more of you than we did last time. Very best of luck.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And, next, we welcome Annmaria and Bryn.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58How do you to know each other?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I'll go. We're married.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We're just going to be celebrating 15 years later this year
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and we're going to renew our vowels.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Your vowels?- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Vows.- Vows!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12That's lovely. Very good indeed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Well, many, many congratulations. Where have you come from?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17We've come from Ramsey in the Isle of Man.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Ramsey in the Isle of Man. What do you do there, Bryn?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- We run a B&B.- A B&B.- Yeah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Describe the B&B to us. - It's a beautiful...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I knew you were going to say that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Beautiful.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- A four-star B&B in Ramsey. - Four-star?- Yes.- Lovely.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34All of this will be cut out. Lovely!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Anyway, welcome to the show.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38It's lovely to have you here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And, finally, we've got Jane and Isobel.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41How do you two know each other?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46We've taught beside each other over a period of 30 years.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50We met in the 1980s. Both retired English teachers.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Whereabouts were you teaching English?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- We were teaching in North Lanarkshire.- In Lanarkshire?- Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Very good. So, Scottish geography? I'm just guessing some fun things for you.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02What are going to be your strong suits on Pointless today?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Anything but geography!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK. What do you like to get up to, Jane?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, when I'm not lunching with the ladies,
0:03:12 > 0:03:13I work as a TV and film extra.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, do you?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17What's the best thing you've worked in?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Last year I was lucky enough to be one of the 700 extras
0:03:20 > 0:03:24who worked with Brad Pitt on the zombie World War Z film.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Who's better looking - because we talk about this a lot - Brad Pitt or Alexander?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Absolutely Alexander.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oh, Jane, you are as kind as you are myopic.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It's lovely to have you here. Very best of luck and welcome to the show.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We'll find out more about you all throughout the show.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48He's got more digits in his IQ than an international telephone directory.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Hiya.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Hello.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04We've only got one returning pair today, Aislinn and Jess.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We didn't see much of them last time cos of the curve-ball we gave them, I suspect, on motorsport,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11so we should see a bit more of them today.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15My one genuine prediction for today is, I think, Annmaria and Bryn
0:04:15 > 0:04:19will be the most successful contestants we've ever had from the Isle of Man.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22CHUCKLING Confidently predict it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Brilliant, look forward to that, Richard.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30In order to get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:04:30 > 0:04:35our contestants need to find the obscure answers that our 100 people didn't get.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points they will score.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41What everyone is trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and each time that happens we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Jeff and Helen won the jackpot last time,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:05OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:05:18 > 0:05:19and who's going to go second?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27OK, our question concerns...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34TV game shows and their catchphrases. Richard.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We're going to show you seven famous phrases on each pass.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Each of them famous for being used in a quiz or a gameshow.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Can you tell us which quiz or gameshow it's used in?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45A nice, obscure answer will give you fewer points.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Give us an incorrect answer, though, you're going to score 100 points.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Seven on each pass. 14, in all, to have a go at, at home.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Thanks very much. Now, then, Ryan and Ayesha,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00OK, so we are looking for the TV game shows
0:06:00 > 0:06:04with which these catchphrases are most closely associated. And we have got...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'll read those one last time.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37There we are. Ayesha, what do you make of that lot?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I know a couple, maybe more.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Not very many. Not my strength.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm going to go for,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48"Come on down!"
0:06:48 > 0:06:49and The Price Is Right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You say, "Come on down!" and The Price Is Right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Let's see if that's right
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Absolutely right.
0:07:02 > 0:07:0346.
0:07:04 > 0:07:0646, not bad.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Well played, Ayesha, good solid start. "Come on down!" The Price Is Right
0:07:10 > 0:07:12hosted by Leslie Crowther then Bruce Forsyth
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and briefly Joe Pasquale.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Thank you very much. Aislinn.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I only know one, so the one that I'm going to go with, that I know
0:07:21 > 0:07:23is definitely right, is "Your chosen specialised subject,"
0:07:23 > 0:07:25which is Mastermind.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28"Your chosen specialised subject," Mastermind, says Aislinn.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Let's see that's right
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Oh, 76, a high score.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40APPLAUSE
0:07:40 > 0:07:41But a correct one.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Big score, isn't it? These days, they tend to say that less.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They tend to call it, "Specialist subject," or, "Your chosen subject."
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Now, then, Annmaria.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52So, remember we're looking for the TV game shows with which
0:07:52 > 0:07:55these catchphrases are most closely associated.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm confident on two of 'em
0:07:57 > 0:08:01so I'm going to go for, "Keep out of the black and into the red."
0:08:01 > 0:08:03And I think that's Bullseye.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Bullseye, says Annmaria for "Keep out of the black and into the red."
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Absolutely right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, there we are, Look at that. Best score of the pass.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18APPLAUSE
0:08:18 > 0:08:19So far. 36.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Good answer. "Keep out of the black and into the red,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26"nothing in this game for two in a bed," they said on Bullseye.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- We haven't got a catchphrase. - Have we not?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I've just been thinking. Haven't we? - You've got a catchphrase.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I just say, "Very good indeed," rather awkwardly, a lot.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I say, "Well done if you got that at home." That's like a catchphrase, isn't it?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43"As ever, when we say country we're looking for a sovereign state recognised by the United Nations."
0:08:43 > 0:08:45One of my catchphrases.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Let's take a look at the pointless answers. Central African Republic. That's a catchphrase.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- OK.- Think of a catchphrase before the end of the round
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and we'll use it three or four times during the show.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57See if we can get it kick-started.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Here's a catchphrase, "That ain't bread, that's toast."
0:09:00 > 0:09:02LAUGHTER
0:09:02 > 0:09:03That ain't bread.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That's toast.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Yes, you do the first bit. - I'll do the first bit, you do the second bit.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Sometimes I'll do it without any warning... That ain't bread. - That's toast.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16APPLAUSE
0:09:20 > 0:09:26Ah, Jane. Now, remember, we are looking for the TV game shows from which these catchphrases come.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I don't know "Let's go channel hopping!" or "A question for father and child only."
0:09:30 > 0:09:32"Can I have a P, Bob?" is Blockbusters,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35but I'll go for, "You get nothing for a pair."
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Play Your Cards Right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Play Your Cards Right, says Jane for, "You get nothing for a pair."
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Absolutely right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:5228.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5528, the best score of the round so far, Jane.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Very, very well done indeed.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Yeah, well played, Jane. Bruce Forsyth, of course, used to famously say that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'll try some audience participation here. You get nothing for a pair.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07A FEW IN AUDIENCE: Not in this game.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09OK, try this. That ain't bread.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11ALL AUDIENCE: That's toast.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- See, that's a catchphrase. - That's a catchphrase.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15A better catchphrase. Scientifically proven.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Let's go through the rest of this board. "Can I have a P, please, Bob?" That is Blockbusters.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Would have scored 54 points, though.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24"A question for father and elder child only."
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Xander, do you want a go at that?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- I don't know.- Ask The Family, Robert Robinson. Would have scored 13.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Also brought it back with Alan Titchmarsh, didn't they, briefly, and Dick and Dom did one.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35"Let's go channel hopping."
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Noel Edmonds' Telly Addicts. It would have scored three points.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40That's the best answer on the board.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Very good. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at our scores.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Jane and Isobel looking particularly strong.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Lovely low score of 28, there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Then, up to 36, where we find Annmaria and Bryn.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Up to 46, where we find Ayesha and Ryan.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And, oh, 76.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Aislinn and Jess, 76. Who'd have thought?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05But anyway, Jess, luckily it's in your hands, cos I know that you
0:11:05 > 0:11:08are going to find a brilliant low-scoring answer in the next pass. Best of luck.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14OK, we'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18OK, we'll put seven more catchphrases on the board,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and here they come. We have got...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46OK, so we are looking for the game show from which
0:11:46 > 0:11:48these catchphrases come,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52and you're trying to find the one you think fewest of our 100 people would have been able to spot.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Now then, Isobel, you're the low scorers on 28.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The high scorers on 76 are Aislinn and Jess.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Which means, if you can score 47 or less,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03you are through to the next round.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- IMITATING LOYD GROSSMAN:- "Who lives in a house like this?"
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Through The Keyhole. - Through The Keyhole, says Isobel.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Here is your red line.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Below that red line, you're home and dry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yep, you've done it. Very well done. 37.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- APPLAUSE - 37 takes your total up to 65.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Richard.- Well played, Isobel. Safely through.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Hosted by David Frost, of course,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- but those lines famously said by Loyd Grossman.- Bryn.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The high scorers at the moment still Jess and Aislinn on 76.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You're on 36, which means 39 or less
0:12:42 > 0:12:45will see you through to the next round.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48"Your starter for ten," University Challenge.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Lets see if it's right and, if it is,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53let's see how many of our 100 people said University Challenge.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Ooh! 44.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- APPLAUSE - 44 takes your total up to 80.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You are marginally ahead and our current high scorers,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11but that might be enough to see you through to the next round. Richard.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yeah, it's going to be very close now, isn't it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Originally presented by Bamber Gascoigne and now Jeremy Paxman. - Jess, moment of truth.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Agh!- The moment of truth! What did you say?- Agh! Erm...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- There's a catchphrase right there! - That's really good.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- OK, you are on 76.- Yes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31The high scorers are Annmaria and Bryn on 80. If you score three...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Could happen!- ..you're through!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I mean, it won't happen, but it could.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's not a great board for me, really.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I knew the two that have gone, which is frustrating.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Should be able to think of "Question or nominate," but I can't.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm going to say "Phone a friend," and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK, you're saying Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? for "Phone a friend."
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56There is your red line, way down there.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0368!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Ooh! - APPLAUSE
0:14:06 > 0:14:09That takes your total up to 144.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Richard.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Sorry, Jess. Yeah, hosted by Chris Tarrant.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Ryan.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20Ryan, Ryan. The high scorers on 14 are Aislinn and Jess.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You are on 46.
0:14:23 > 0:14:2797 or less will see you into the next round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So, remember, we're looking for the TV game shows with which
0:14:30 > 0:14:33these catchphrases are most closely associated.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I think I know "Question or nominate," but not absolutely sure.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So I'll go with "Uvavu"
0:14:38 > 0:14:40and Shooting Stars.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42"Uvavu," Shooting Stars, says Ryan.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Is it right and how many people said it?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Well done, you've done it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:5717 for "Uvavu," Shooting Stars. Takes your total up to 63.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01- Richard.- Well played, Ryan.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Vic Reeves would say "Uvavu" for a correct answer
0:15:04 > 0:15:06in the Dove From Above round.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08What would you go for for "Question or nominate," Ryan,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- if you had been forced to? - I think it was 15 To 1.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Absolutely right. It was 15 To 1. Would've scored six points.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Would've been a very, very good answer.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- "Our survey said"?- Family Fortunes.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Family Fortunes, absolutely right for 58.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And "Let's go to the destination board."
0:15:22 > 0:15:25That is the best answer on the board by some way. One point. Any idea?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Busman's Holiday.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Busman's Holiday. Sarah Kennedy did it, I think Julian Pettifer
0:15:32 > 0:15:34also presented it from the '80s.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Shame it wasn't presented by someone called "Busman".
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Oh, it would have been amazing. - Wouldn't it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- THEY SIGH - That ain't toast.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Yeah, yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- No, sorry, "That ain't bread"! - LAUGHTER
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- What?!- See, this is why this is not working.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52That's why it's not working!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of the round,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm afraid, Jess and Aislinn.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- This wasn't meant to be.- It's not been good.- It hasn't been good!
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Who'd have thought Mastermind was going to be such a high score there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- It's been fun.- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, it's been lovely for us, but far too short in both instances.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yeah.- I'm so sorry. This is where we have to say goodbye to you,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18but it's been lovely having you on the show. You ain't bread...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21You're toast! LAUGHTER
0:16:23 > 0:16:26But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Well, we will go down to two pairs at the end of this round for the Head-to-head.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39So, one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02..as they could. Actors in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Richard.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04We're looking for any actor or actress who received
0:17:04 > 0:17:06an acting credit for any of the films
0:17:06 > 0:17:09in Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13We're also including anyone who had a voice credit or appeared in the special extended editions too.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15This is all according to IMDb.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18We won't accept Peter Jackson himself, who has an uncredited cameo.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- Very, very best of luck. - OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Now, Ayesha.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I can...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29..only think of...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Oh, I can't pronounce his name! Is it...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Viggo Mortensen? - OK. Viggo Mortensen.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Let's see if that's right,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and if it is, let's see how many people said Viggo Mortensen.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51- 7. - APPLAUSE
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Very well done.
0:17:54 > 0:17:567 for Viggo Mortensen.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well played, Ayesha.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- That's a relief, isn't it?- Ooh!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02He is Aragorn in all three films. Viggo Mortensen.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Annmaria.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Oh, dear!- Did you see the Lord Of The Rings trilogy at all?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11No, they've not really been my thing at all.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Do you remember anything about the general hype about them?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I just remember one tall person, so I'm going for him.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Ian McKellen.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Let's see if Ian McKellen is correct
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and, if it is, let's see many people said it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Absolutely right.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3222.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- APPLAUSE - Not bad. 22 for Ian McKellen.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Well done, Annmaria. He was Gandalf in all three films.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for Fellowship Of The Ring.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Now then, Isobel.- I know that this young man is in The Hobbit,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52so I'll keep my fingers crossed that he was also in Lord Of The Rings.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Martin Freeman.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Martin Freeman, says Isobel. Martin Freeman.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, many people said it? Martin Freeman.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Sorry, Jane!- Bad luck, Isobel. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09which scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Richard.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Sorry, Isobel, you're quite right, he's Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17but not in any of the three Lord Of The Rings films, I'm afraid.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Thanks, Richard. Halfway through the round.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Let's take a look at our scores as they stand.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Ayesha and Ryan looking extremely strong there. Lovely low score of 7.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Then up to 22, where we find Annmaria and Bryn, then up to 100,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31where Isobel and Jane are.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Now, Jane, I'm hoping you've seen the films
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and maybe have a brilliant low-scoring answer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39No, don't shake your head!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Very best of luck in the next pass. Coming back down the line.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Now then, Jane, you weren't shaking your head there, were you?- I was.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53This is Nightmare On Pointless Street for me!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Oh, dear!- Erm...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Dear, oh, dear! Have you any ideas?- Haven't a clue.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So I'm just going to take a wild guess and say Derek Jacobi.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Let's see if it's right and, if it is,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08let's see how many people said Derek Jacobi.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Bad luck. He'd have been brilliant in it, though!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Sadly, that scores you another 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Sorry, Jane.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Bryn.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The good news is, you're through to the Head-to-head.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27We're looking for the names of any actors who have appeared in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy films.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Erm...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I have a feeling Christopher Lee was in it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35OK, Christopher Lee, says Bryn. No red line,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37cos you're through whatever happens.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Let's see if Christopher Lee's right and, if it is, let's see how many said it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44It is right.
0:20:49 > 0:20:517.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53APPLAUSE
0:20:53 > 0:20:55The joint-lowest score of the round so far.
0:20:55 > 0:20:587 for Christopher Lee takes your total up to 29. Richard.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well done, Bryn. He was in the first two films, Christopher Lee.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Ryan, great news, you're through to the next round.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Slightly less great news, possibly, let's have an answer from you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Sean Bean.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Sean Bean. How many people said Sean Bean?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yep, it's right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Ooh!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- APPLAUSE - 13 for Sean Bean.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Takes your total up to 20.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34He plays Boromir in The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Return Of The King.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36He is also in the extended version of Two Towers.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Shall we take a look at the pointless answers?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Alan Howard, the voice of the ring in the first two films.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47He was pointless. Alexandra Astin, she played Elanor Gamgee.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Craig Parker was a pointless answer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51All the following were in The Fellowship Of The Ring.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Mark Ferguson, Megan Edwards, played Mrs Proudfoot. Peter McKenzie...
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Robbie Magasiva, Ross Duncan and Sarah McLeod, who played Rosie Cotton.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04All those pointless. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10At the end of that round, the pair with the highest score who will be leaving us, it's Jane and Isobel.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Did you know any of those when you saw them? I mean, obviously,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- not the pointless answers.- No. - But Sean Bean?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- No, I knew Christopher Lee. - Christopher Lee. Oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22We'll look forward to seeing you next time, Jane and Isobel.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Lovely having you on the show. Thanks for playing.- Thank you.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting now
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- as we enter the Head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, congratulations, Ryan and Ayesha, Annmaria and Bryn.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You're only one round away from the final
0:22:43 > 0:22:45and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47which currently stands at...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Well, you're now going to go head-to-head, and the first pair
0:22:55 > 0:22:58to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00The great news is, you are now allowed to confer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04From here on in, you are teams of two.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Now then, Ryan and Ayesha.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You are our best performing pair so far.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11But actually, only nine points separated you in that last round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Did you think you'd make it this far?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Not based on those two categories we've just had.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17- Yeah, they were tough.- Not for me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20And Annmaria and Bryn, surprised to find yourselves here
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- on your first appearance on Pointless?- Yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25You've made it through to the Head-to-head.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- I was glad to get through the first round.- Yeah, that was a toughie.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Well, anything can happen from here on in.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head-to-head.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36APPLAUSE
0:23:39 > 0:23:41OK, here comes your first question.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And it concerns...
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Bridges, Richard.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49We're going to show you five pictures of bridges from around the world.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Can you identify the most obscure?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Oh, yeah! OK, let's reveal our five bridges, and here they are.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57We have got...
0:24:10 > 0:24:11There we are. Five bridges.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Ryan and Ayesha, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17so you get to choose first.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21What are you thinking?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26(I don't know very many. I know the first one is...)
0:24:26 > 0:24:28We would like to go for A,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which is the Golden Gate Bridge.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, the Golden Gate you are saying. The Golden Gate.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Annmaria and Bryn.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40We'll go for C,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46C, the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48So we have the Golden Gate Bridge from Ryan and Ayesha.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50They're saying that is A.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see her many of our 100
0:24:53 > 0:24:54said the Golden Gate Bridge.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57It's right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- 51. - APPLAUSE
0:25:04 > 0:25:0651, not bad.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Annmaria and Bryn are saying that C is the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16let's see how many of our 100 recognised C
0:25:16 > 0:25:20as the Clifton Suspension Bridge. 51 is what you have to beat.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It's right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24You've done it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:2821, very well done indeed. 21.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30APPLAUSE
0:25:30 > 0:25:3221 for the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Which means, after one question, Annmaria and Bryn are ahead 1-0.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well played, Annmaria and Bryn.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Of course, spans the Avon Gorge near Bristol,
0:25:41 > 0:25:42the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Let's take a look at all of the answers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47B would've won you the points. Do you know B, Xander?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I'm going to guess Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Ponte Vecchio, you're absolutely right. Florence.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53That would've scored 7 points.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The best answer on the board is D.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Yeah, and I can't...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- It's in France.- Yeah, it's near Nimes in France.- Near Nimes, exactly.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's 2000 years old.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10- I want to say Pont de la Tour, but it's not.- It's the Pont du Gard.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14That would have scored one point. The best answer on the board.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19We'll have a little sub-game here with E. It's the Tower Bridge, I'll give you that.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22How many people out of 100 got Tower Bridge?
0:26:22 > 0:26:28It's going to be in the high 90s and I am going to say...99.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33I'm surprised. Tower Bridge scores only 61. Only 61 for Tower Bridge.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Excellent. Here comes your second question.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Ryan and Ayesha, you have to win this question to stay in the game, remember. Very best of luck.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Your second question today concerns:
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Famous boxers, Richard. - We're going to show you the names of five famous boxers.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55All are in the International Boxing Hall of Fame but we're going to show you those names in anagram form.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Can you name one of these five boxers? Best of luck.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01See if you get all five of these at home.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Let's reveal our five anagrams of famous boxers and they are:
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I'll read those one more time.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31There we are, five boxers in anagrammatic form.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Annmaria and Bryn, you go first this time.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43We'll go for Linen Slew Ox, Lennox Lewis.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Lennox Lewis you are saying for Linen Slew Ox.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Ryan and Ayesha, you can
0:27:49 > 0:27:51talk us through the rest of the board, if you like.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57- We'll go for the second bottom, Mike Tyson.- Mike Tyson, Monkey Sit.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02So we have Linen Slew Ox, Lennox Lewis, say Annmaria and Bryn.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Lennox Lewis.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's right.
0:28:15 > 0:28:1719.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19APPLAUSE
0:28:22 > 0:28:27Not bad at all. Ryan and Ayesha have said Monkey Sit is Mike Tyson.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30You have to win this to stay in the game.
0:28:30 > 0:28:3519 is the score you have to beat. Is it right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Will it beat 19?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Yes, it does. Look at that! Ten!
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Ten for Mike Tyson. Wow! - APPLAUSE
0:28:49 > 0:28:53That's what you needed. After two questions, it's one-all. Richard.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Very well played, well worked out. I was looking at Monkey Sit
0:28:57 > 0:29:02for ages before I saw Mike Tyson. Let's go through all of them.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06There is a pointless answer. Anyone who's got all five, you just got yourself a pointless answer.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12- The most obvious one, Maul Amid Ham.- Muhammad Ali.- Absolutely right.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Would have scored you 65.
0:29:13 > 0:29:20- Jam Oak Latte? Played by Robert De Niro in Raging Bull.- Jake LaMotta.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22That would have scored you four.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Now, Bracing Arm Guy is a pointless answer.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Very famous Irish boxer.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Ah, Little Barry McGuigan.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Barry McGuigan. Absolutely right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37A pointless answer. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Famous boxer but a very tough anagram, it turns out.- Extraordinary.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Brilliant. Here comes the decider. Question number three.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Whoever wins this question goes through
0:29:47 > 0:29:51to the final and plays for the jackpot. Good luck. It concerns:
0:29:53 > 0:29:56We're about to show you five facts that are clues about the Earth.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00You have to give us the most obscure answer. Best of luck.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Thanks. Let's reveal our five facts about Earth and here they come.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07We have got:
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I'll read those five clues again.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Five facts about Planet Earth, and obviously
0:30:42 > 0:30:47you're looking for the one you think the fewest people knew. Ryan and Ayesha, it's back with you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- What did you say?- Population?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Five or six billion?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55I think it's six.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I think we're going to go for the human population
0:30:58 > 0:31:00to the nearest billion.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We're going to go five billion.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Five billion, says Ryan and Ayesha for the population of planet Earth.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Annmaria and Bryn, you can talk out loud if you like.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I don't know what to say.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We have some ideas on the largest country, but we're not sure.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19We're going to play relatively safe,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23the name of the highest mountain, Everest.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27You're going to say the name of the highest mountain, Everest.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Ryan and Ayesha, you have gone with five billion
0:31:31 > 0:31:34as the human population of planet Earth.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Let's see if that's right
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and, if it is, how many people said five billion.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47An incorrect answer.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Annmaria and Bryn,
0:31:49 > 0:31:53you have said the highest mountain is Mount Everest.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55All that has to be at this stage is correct.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59If it is, you are straight through to the final. Is it right? Mount Everest.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05Absolutely right. You are through to the final. 66. All it had to be was right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07APPLAUSE
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Which means after three questions Annmaria and Bryn are through to the final, two-one. Very well done.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Well played, Annmaria and Bryn. A very hard fought head-to-head.
0:32:20 > 0:32:248,840 metres above sea level, Everest.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Ryan and Ayesha, sometimes we see people being knocked out and they'll be one away from an answer.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32You were two billion away from a correct answer there.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Which may be a Pointless record. It was actually seven billion.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41In 1999, it passed six billion. Now it is up towards seven billion.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Some estimates say it is over seven billion.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47And it would have seen you through to the final as well.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Let's take a look at the rest. The largest country by area, Xander? - Oh...
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- It's a horrible question, isn't it? It's Russia.- Right.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Neither of the ones I was going to say.- That would have scored you 38.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07- The name of the northernmost capital city?- Reykjavik.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Yes, well done if you said that at home, the capital of Iceland.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- Were you thinking of that? - Yeah.- That was one of our options.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17You're in the final anyway.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- The Salt Lake whose shore is the lowest dry point on Earth's surface? - Dead Sea.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Absolutely right. That would have scored 14 points. Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Well done if you got all 15 across the three questions.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37At the end of the head-to-head, our losing pair is Ryan and Ayesha.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Now you see all the answers there, how many of those did you kind of know?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Said Russia.- Yeah, we did. - Talked myself out of that one.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Any change of tactics for next time?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Anything you've learnt from Pointless?- He's got to listen to me.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Yeah.- You had some good answers that he ignored?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I was closer to the seven billion than he was.
0:33:56 > 0:34:03- Closer.- 6.2, I said. It wouldn't have got us through, but it was still closer.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07It's been great having you on the show. Look forward to seeing you again next time.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- In the meantime, thank you very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:34:11 > 0:34:15For Annmaria and Bryn, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17APPLAUSE
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Congratulations. You have fought off all the competition
0:34:24 > 0:34:26and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Richard predicted you would be our best ever couple
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- from the Isle of Man. - We'll hold our heads up, won't we?
0:34:51 > 0:34:55When we get back to Ramsey, we'll hold our heads high.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You will, and your coveted Pointless trophies.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00It's going to be on display in the B&B.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- Next to all the other awards you've won.- Four stars!
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Well, there you are. The rules are very simple.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10All you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13We've had no pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Find one now and you will go home with that £1,000 jackpot.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22First you need to choose your category. You have a choice of five. Your options are:
0:35:28 > 0:35:34- We can forget thriller writers. And the pop music.- Yes.- Actresses?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- I know the one you're leaning to. - Islands or American sports.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I know you are, yes. Do you want to give it a go?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Go on then, we'll try American sports.- We got there in the end.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name:
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- Richard. - We're looking for the name of any team that has lost a Super Bowl,
0:36:00 > 0:36:04from the first one in 1967, all the way through to 2012.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Very best of luck and good luck at home.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:09 > 0:36:14and all you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There we are.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Your time starts now.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Definitely the Denver Broncos. - They've lost. Denver Broncos.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Even if they've won, but also lost. - Yes, I know.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- It's the less obvious ones. - But that's one.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I don't know.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Miami?- The Dolphins.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I'm thinking.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50It's a pure guess.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Right, we'll say the Denver Broncos, go for the Dolphins. Yes.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- And someone like the Buffalo Bills? - Buffalo Bills?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Are they called the Buffalo Bills? Are you sure?- Yes, they are.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10- You sure it's...- No, it's the Buffalo Bills.- Go with that, then.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Ten seconds remaining.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- It's going to cost you dear. - No, no.- OK.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Have you picked your three? - I think we've got three.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24OK, very good indeed. Your time is up. Let's see what your answers are.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28We were looking for teams that have lost the Super Bowl.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33- What are you going to give me?- The Denver Broncos. The Miami Dolphins.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Miami Dolphins.- And the Buffalo Bills.- And the Buffalo Bills.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Annmaria is still refusing to accept the Buffalo Bills exist.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Denver Broncos.- Denver Broncos we'll put last. Your least likely answer?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- She doesn't believe me, Buffalo bills. - We'll put the Buffalo bills first
0:37:52 > 0:37:55and that leaves the Miami Dolphins to go in the middle.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58OK, let's put them on the board in that order and here they are.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00We have got:
0:38:03 > 0:38:08OK, so we were looking for teams that have lost the Super Bowl.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15What would you spend £1,000 on?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18He's taking me shopping!
0:38:18 > 0:38:23It'll probably go towards... We've both got motorbikes and you always need new leathers
0:38:23 > 0:38:27and things like that. Something for the bikes.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33- Anything else you could spend it on? - I know she could spend it on jewellery, no problem.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36We're going for a holiday in France.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- I'm sure we could spend a little bit in there.- Excellent. Best of luck.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Your first answer was the Buffalo Bills.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- I'm looking forward to this now, to see if they exist. He might just have been making that up.- I'm not.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53Buffalo Bills, your least confident shot at a pointless answer. Let's see if it's right
0:38:53 > 0:38:57and, if it is, how many people said Buffalo Bills.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Absolutely right. Your first shot at £1,000. Straight off, down it goes.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08you leave here with that jackpot in your back pocket.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Into single figures down it goes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Two.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15APPLAUSE
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Oh, ye of little faith, Annmaria.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21The Buffalo Bills, not only right, not only exist,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23but they were almost pointless.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28Unfortunately, they weren't quite pointless though. Two more chances at today's jackpot.
0:39:28 > 0:39:34We were looking for teams that have lost the Super Bowl. Your next answer was the Miami Dolphins.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot. Let's see how many people said the Miami Dolphins.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It's right.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Your first answer, the Buffalo Bills,
0:39:47 > 0:39:49took you all the way down to two.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52The Miami Dolphins, if they can take you down to pointless,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54you will leave here with £1,000. Down it goes.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55Three!
0:39:55 > 0:39:58APPLAUSE
0:40:01 > 0:40:04This is all fantastic gamesmanship.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09You are playing towards your last answer, your third answer,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12which of course has to be pointless.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17We are looking for teams that have lost the Super Bowl. Your final answer, the Denver Broncos.
0:40:17 > 0:40:23No problem putting this last. You were sure this is the most obscure of your three answers.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Let's see if our 100 people agree.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27It has to be right, it has to be pointless.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32If it is both, you will leave here with £1,000. Best of luck.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let's see how may people said the Denver Broncos.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41It's right. So the Buffalo Bills took us down to two.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44The Miami Dolphins took us down to three.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48the Denver Broncos. Down it goes.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Oh, no!
0:40:50 > 0:40:52APPLAUSE
0:40:59 > 0:41:05One. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09You don't win today's jackpot of £1,000, which will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14You have been brilliant contestants. You do get to take home the fabulous Pointless trophy.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Tough luck. Unlucky. Denver Broncos lost four Super Bowls.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Miami Dolphins lost three and the Buffalo Bills lost four in a row in the '90s.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34There is a bunch of pointless answers. And you'll recognise some of them. Let's take a look.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37The Arizona Cardinals, they lost very recently.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40The Atlanta Falcons, who lost to the Broncos.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45The Baltimore Colts lost the third Super Bowl to the New York Jets.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48The Carolina Panthers, who lost to the Patriots.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Cincinnati Bengals lost twice, both times to the San Francisco 49ers.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Kansas City Chiefs lost the very first Super Bowl
0:41:58 > 0:41:59to the Green Bay Packers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Oakland Raiders have lost two, including the second Super Bowl.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06San Diego Chargers, who lost to the 49ers,
0:42:06 > 0:42:09and the Seattle Seahawks, who lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13The St Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Thanks very much, Richard. How many of those did you recognise?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- None!- Six, seven?- Bad luck.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to Annmaria and Bryn
0:42:28 > 0:42:32but it's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you both for playing.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34APPLAUSE
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:42:39 > 0:42:45- which means on the next show we will be playing for £2,000. - APPLAUSE
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
