0:00:18 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28A warm welcome to Pointless, the show where obvious answers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:41First, we welcome back Jane and Isobel. You were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Jane, remind us what happened last time.- It was the Lord Of The Rings.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I spent too much time on the set with Brad Pitt last year and forgot to go and see the films.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- I knew absolutely nothing.- Remind us how you two know each other.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We've been teaching on and off together for about 30 years
0:01:02 > 0:01:06and we had classrooms next door to each other for ten years.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And we are the scariest teachers in the corridor.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13While one of you is actually teaching them properly,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17the one next door...you could hear it rumbling through the...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20There was nothing rumbling through!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23They're getting English from every angle there!
0:01:23 > 0:01:27It's lovely to have you back on the show. Very best of luck.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We welcome Paul and Mark. How do you know each other?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, we met first day of school, upper school,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37so we've known each other 27 years now.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Been firm friends ever since. - Well, friends. It depends.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Sometimes they're firm. - OK. Where was that?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It was in Northampton, Kingshall Upper School.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- And you're still Northampton dwellers?- I am, yes.- I'm not.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56I live up Saddleworth now. I've been there for 11 years now.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00What are you hoping is going to come up? What's going to be great for you?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I'm hoping for music, TV. - Any particular kinds of music?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Anything from 1985 to 2005 would be good for me.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Indie music, rock music.- Good. Paul, what's going to be strong for you?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Kids' TV.- Have you got kids? - I've got kids. I've got a few.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Nothing against it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Everything's Rosie, I love that show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I do tend to see a lot of it at the moment, unfortunately.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Lovely to have you on the show, Paul and Mark.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Best of luck to the pair of you. Next, we welcome Ryan and Ayesha.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38They were also on the show last time. Remind us what happened.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43We got as far as the head-to-head. And it was one apiece.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Very creditable showing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49It was the third question to win it and we talked ourselves out of it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Facts about planet Earth. - That's right.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Anything you're particularly hoping for today?- Film and sport for me.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Film and sport. Ayesha? - I would like food and drink, maybe.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- Something on Friends.- It's lovely to have you back on the show.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Very best of luck today. Finally, we welcome Kay and Richie.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12How do you know each other?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Well, we met a couple of years ago on a night out
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and took an instant disliking to him.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23He had a full-on suit, pocket watch.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Full-on suit!- Monocle.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- The whole nine yards. - Bowtie.- Bowtie.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Bowtie!- And I thought he was in fancy dress.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And I confronted him
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and he said, "No, this is just how I am."
0:03:39 > 0:03:44You say you took an instant dislike to him, if you had, I don't think you'd have gone up to him.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Probably. I think it was...- There must have been an affection there.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Richie, I think that's very good of you. Little bit affronted
0:03:52 > 0:03:58you didn't feel you have to dress up for us today. There we are. What do you do, Richie?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I'm a DJ by night and during the day, I'm a pawnbroker.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I work at a pawnbroker, even.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10For a split second there, I wondered where that was going. You...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Very best of luck, Kay and Richie. It's great having you on the show.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17We'll find out more about you later. There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20For this show, he's prepared a dance for every pointless answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- I can't wait to see it. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hello.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27APPLAUSE
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Should be a cracking show today. Question one is rather lovely today.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Is it?- Question one's got some lovely right answers, some lovely pointless answers as well.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's the sort of one everybody will be able to have a crack at.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Excellent. We look forward to that. All of our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51In order to be in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our contestants
0:04:51 > 0:04:55need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59The fewer people who got that answer, the fewer points they score.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave
0:05:04 > 0:05:07and each time that happens, we add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Today's jackpot starts off at:
0:05:14 > 0:05:16APPLAUSE
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25APPLAUSE
0:05:27 > 0:05:31In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK, our first category today is:
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Words.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many:
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- It's brilliant.- Admit, you're already trying to think of one, aren't you?- I've got one.- Sshh!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We're looking for any word which has its own entry in the Oxford
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Dictionary of English which both begins and ends in a P.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14As always, no abbreviations, proper nouns or hyphenated words.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- Very best of luck at home as well. There's quite a few words out there. - Thanks, Richard.
0:06:19 > 0:06:26Now then, Jane and Isobel, you drew lots before the show and today you are going to go first.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Isobel, you have stepped up to represent your team first.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34A word beginning and ending in a P.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'm afraid the only one that comes to mind is what I see
0:06:38 > 0:06:40when I look in the mirror, which is plump.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Plump.- AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Your lovely plump lips!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Let's see if that's right
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and if it is, how many of our 100 people said plump.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's a good answer, Isobel. Plump...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03APPLAUSE
0:07:03 > 0:07:09- ..you plumped for. It scored you 13. - Yes, having a full, rounded shape.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13One of the many words that sounds lovely said in a Scottish accent as well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16There aren't many words that don't sound lovely in a Scottish accent.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Plump. Very well done. Thank you, Isobel. Paul?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'm going to go for my favourite vegetable, that's a parsnip.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Is it really your favourite vegetable?- Yes.- Well done for having a favourite vegetable!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's good. OK. Parsnip.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see many people said it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Look at that! Five!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50I can see why it's your favourite with a lovely low score like that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- It's treated you well, parsnip. Scores you five.- Well played.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Your tactic, whatever the question, was to say your favourite vegetable. You just got lucky.- Exactly.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Ryan?- I'm going with prop. - Prop, says Ryan.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said prop.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18APPLAUSE
0:08:18 > 0:08:2115.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- For prop.- Yeah, a pole or a beam used as a temporary support.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Have you got any in your head?
0:08:27 > 0:08:32I've got a good one but I'm a little bit... I'm going to keep thinking.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- OK, I'll test you at the end of the round.- Now then, Kay.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I can only think of one.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I can think of two but I'm not sure if the other one is a word.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Best not go with that one. Pulp.- Pulp.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said pulp.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Ten! Not bad at all.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03APPLAUSE
0:09:03 > 0:09:09- Ten for pulp.- Well done. Pulp is a soft shapeless mass of material.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Look at that. Paul and Mark, parsnip.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- How many other times has a parsnip helped you out?- You'd be surprised!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Fabulous. Lovely low score of five.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Then up to ten, where we find Kay and Richie. 13, Isobel and Jane.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31And then up to 15 where we find Ryan and Ayesha.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40OK, we're looking for words that begin and end in P.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Richie, how well did Kay do with pulp?- I thought it was fantastic.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49An exemplary answer. The high scorers are Ayesha and Ryan on 15.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52A score of four or less will keep you in the game.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58- No pressure. - I'm going with a risky one. Polyp.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- That was my one.- Was it? - Yes.- OK.- Polyp.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Sounds like a good one to me, Richie.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Here is your red line, very low. But polyp sounds like the kind of word that might get you down there.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Let's see if it is. How many people said polyp?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Nine!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25APPLAUSE
0:10:25 > 0:10:31- A nine for polyp, takes your total up to 19.- Polyp, a small growth.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37Ayesha, the high scorers are now Richie and Kay on 19. You're on 15.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41A score of three or less will prevent you from becoming the high scorers once again.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45The three answers I did have have all gone in quick succession.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50One after the other. I'm going to go with pimp.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Pimp. OK, here is your red line. It's low.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Four! Very well done.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Four, takes you up to 19.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15You are joint high scorers with Richie and Kay. Richard. Pimp.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21Pimp. How best at 5:20 to describe pimp on a daytime TV show?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I'm going to say it's like a cross between a pixie and an imp!
0:11:25 > 0:11:31A pimp. Lovable little fellows. Have you seen a pimp at the bottom of your garden?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Go and pat him on the head.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Mark, a lovely low score from Paul,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41courtesy of the parsnip on the first pass.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Joint high scorers are Ayesha and Ryan and Richie and Kay on 19.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51If you score 13 or less, through you go to the next round.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I've got a couple in mind. One, I'm not sure is a real word,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59so I'm going to play it safe, which may be dangerous, and go pop.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01How many people said pop?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11APPLAUSE
0:12:11 > 0:12:1638 people said pop out of 100. That takes your total up to 43.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- That's really playing it safe.- Isn't it?- Pop means all sorts of things.
0:12:21 > 0:12:28- Pop, commercial music, fizzy drinks. A light explosive sound.- Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- A father in America.- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33An inadvisable answer on a daytime quiz show.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Now then, Jane. We come to you. You're on 13.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The high scorers are now Paul and Mark on 43.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46A score of 29 or less will keep you in the game.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52- I think you can do that.- I think I'm going to have to take a risk because the scores are fairly low.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56The two I have in mind are parts of well-known phrases.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It's which one I go for. And hope it's there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I'm going to go for primp, as part of primp and preen.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09That was another of mine. Yeah. Primp. Let's see. How many people said it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well done, you've done it. Very good indeed.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Six for primp, takes your total to 19. Great answer.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Very well played, Jane. Primp is of course the prince of the pimps,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33at the bottom of your garden. What was the other one you were thinking of going on for?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Pomp, as in pomp and ceremony. - That's what's interesting about this round,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40there's all sorts of people at home will have got all sorts of answers,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44there are some very well-known words on the pointless answers list. And pomp is one of them.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- Another one of mine.- Pointless answer, pomp. We'll take a look at a few of the pointless ones.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Let's take a look at the first page first.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Palmtop was a pointless answer. A computer you can hold in your palm. Paradrop is a delivery by parachute.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04- Partnership is a pointless answer. Richie, where did you used to work? - At a pawnbroker.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Pawnshop's a word, isn't it? - Absolutely.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It would have also been a pointless answer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Payslip, which is what they give you at the pawnshop,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14also a pointless answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Penmanship, which is what is on your payslip at the pawnshop.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Unless you do it by palmtop.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Pillowslip, playgroup, and premiership.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Also presidentship, principalship. Lots of words ending in "ship".
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Procuratorship. Let's take a look at the worst answers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36These are the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The worst answers you could have given, Mark.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44In third, it was plop with 21.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47In second, Mark, you will recognise this, pop.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53- What do you reckon is top of the list?- Pup? Pip?- Absolutely right.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Pip pop plop, which is the sound that short-lived breakfast cereal
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- we marketed made. It's weird it didn't catch on.- Thank you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07At the end of the first round, the pair with the highest score leaving us, Paul and Mark.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:15:11 > 0:15:17Paul, parsnip, yay. Lovely low score. Mark, pop, not so good.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- You used the word "safe".- Yes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that. Thanks for playing. Mark and Paul.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27APPLAUSE
0:15:29 > 0:15:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43And so we are down to three pairs. In order to field two pairs for the head-to-head, one of the pairs
0:15:43 > 0:15:46in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51That was very exciting. All three pairs scored 19 in that round.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You are absolutely evenly matched.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Normally, I like to say which is the pair to beat at this stage.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03And I cannot call it. Well done. Very best of luck with round two. Our category today is:
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Television. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20OK, our round two question concerns:
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Fictional doctors, Richard.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28On each pass, We'll show you the names of six fictional doctors.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Tell us the TV series with which they are most famously associated.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Give us an obscure answer, score fewer points, give us an incorrect answer, 100 points.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4112 fictional doctors to have a go at home. Good luck.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45OK. We are looking for the TV series with which these fictional
0:16:45 > 0:16:49doctors are most closely associated and we have got:
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'll read those one more time.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12There we are. Six fictional TV doctors.
0:17:12 > 0:17:19- Isobel.- I, luckily, watch Grey's Anatomy, which is where Christina Yang appears.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Christina Yang, Grey's Anatomy. That is what Isobel is submitting.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Let's see if Grey's Anatomy is right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Absolutely right.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Look at that! Six! - APPLAUSE
0:17:40 > 0:17:43That's a great score, Isobel. Very well done.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- How glad were you to see that name come up on the board?- Very glad.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- I like Grey's Anatomy.- Ryan?
0:17:51 > 0:17:58I'm going to go with Sam Beckett and I think it was Quantum Leap.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Sam Beckett, Quantum Leap. OK.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Let's see if that's right and how many people said that answer. Quantum Leap.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Absolutely right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14There we are, 17.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17APPLAUSE
0:18:17 > 0:18:24- 17 for Quantum Leap.- Well played, Ryan. I used to really love Quantum Leap. Did you?- No.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26You didn't have a TV in your house, did you?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30In your house, every evening, did you just congregate around the harpsichord?
0:18:30 > 0:18:37We would foregather around the fortepiano. Yes. That's right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- We would sing songs.- You'd love Quantum Leap.- Ah, well. Richie.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I am genuinely clueless as to any of those on there.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Sam Beckett was what I was going to go for with Quantum Leap.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55I think Leonard McCoy might be Star Trek.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Leonard McCoy, Star Trek. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It's right.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- 41. - APPLAUSE
0:19:08 > 0:19:1341 is a high score, but it's correct. A lot better than 100.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Yes, Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Played by DeForest Kelley.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Do you know the rest of these? - Funnily enough, I do. If they're ill on Eastenders,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25they get Legg over, don't they?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29They do. Absolutely right. Scored 40 points.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The other 60 people thought his first name was Doctor.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Jack Shepherd, do you know? Played by Matthew Fox on Lost.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It would have scored nine points.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41The best answer on the board, Jennifer Melfi,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44the principal psychiatrist on The Sopranos.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Played by Lorraine Bracco. Well done if you got that.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Well done if you got all six. - We're halfway through the round.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Six, the best score of the past, by some way.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Isobel and Jane looking very strong.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Then up to 17, where we find Ryan and Ayesha.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Then 41, quite a hike up. Kay, best of luck with the next board.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You get first dibs on it
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- and you have to hope there is a nice obscure answer.- I hope so.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20OK, six more fictional doctors on the board. Here they come.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22We have got:
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49You're trying to find the TV show with which these fictional doctors are most closely associated.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53You're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Kay, this is a chance for you. What does that board look like?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I think I'm going to have to go Martin Ellingham, with Doc Martin.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- I think. I hope.- Martin Ellingham, Doc Martin, says Kay.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14No red line for you, you are the high scorers.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It's right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It's very good. Very well done, Kay.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Eight points, takes your total up to 49.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Is that going to be enough to see you through, I wonder?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Could have kept yourself in there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Played by Martin Clunes, of course. - Now then. Ayesha, you're on 17.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The high scorers on 49 are Kay and Richie.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47A score of 31 or less will see you through to the head-to-head. What do you think of the board?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52I'm going to go for Karl Kennedy, Neighbours.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56You're going to say Karl Kennedy, Neighbours. Here's your red line.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58This is where you have to get below
0:21:58 > 0:22:01if you want to be through to the next round.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Is it right, how many people said it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's right, very well done.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1144.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13APPLAUSE
0:22:13 > 0:22:18A high score for Karl Kennedy. That takes your total up to 61.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Very big score. Even bigger than "Bones" McCoy from Star Trek. Karl Kennedy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Now then, Jane. Lovely low score from Isobel in the first pass.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31The high scorers are currently Ayesha and Ryan on 61.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34If you can score 54, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I only know one and it could be a high scorer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Benjamin Hawkeye Pierce, I think, is from MASH.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46Benjamin Hawkeye Pierce. From MASH. Very best of luck.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Benjamin Hawkeye Pierce, is he from MASH? How many people said it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You've done it!
0:22:56 > 0:23:0036. Did everything you had to do. Very well done.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Takes your total up to 42. Richard.- Very well done, Jane.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Played by Alan Alda in the series. He was the only character to appear in every single episode.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12And the final episode, the most watched TV show in TV history.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- No!- Yeah.- How many?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Like, a lot!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Wow!- Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- I think you might know some of these. Dana Scully?- The X-Files.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Yes, Gillian Anderson's character in The X-Files. Julius M Hibbert?
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- That one I don't know.- Dr Hibbert? The Simpsons.- Oh, The Simpsons.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- The one that goes, "Ha-ha-ha." - Laughs at inappropriate moments. - I never knew his name.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39- Abigail Bartlet?- West Wing.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The wife of the President, played by Stockard Channing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Would have scored two points. Well done if you got that.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Splendid. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, Ayesha and Ryan.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Bad luck. That's all I can say. It's been great having you on the show.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02APPLAUSE
0:24:02 > 0:24:05But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even
0:24:05 > 0:24:10more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Congratulations, Jane and Isobel, Kay and Richie.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You are one round away from the final and a chance to play
0:24:18 > 0:24:21for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25APPLAUSE
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It now gets exciting.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33You're going head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37You're now allowed to confer. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39APPLAUSE
0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, here comes your first question and it concerns:
0:24:50 > 0:24:52LAUGHTER
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I think you said you wanted this, didn't you?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- I think that's what... - You're hearing things!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Richard.- Once again, things fall into Jane and Isobel's hands.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Unbelievable. We're about to show you five photos of rappers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Can you name them and pick the most obscure? Very best of luck.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Thank you very much.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Good luck, Jane and Isobel, and indeed, Kay and Richie. We have got:
0:25:32 > 0:25:37OK, there we are. The A to the B to the C to the D to the E
0:25:37 > 0:25:40of...rappers.
0:25:40 > 0:25:47Jane and Isobel, you have played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I think I know A.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- Eminem.- Eminem, says Isobel and Jane. Eminem for A.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Now then, Kay and Richie. You can talk us through the other rappers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Missy Elliott.- You can talk out loud, if you like.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Missy Elliott is B.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- Vanilla Ice is C, Snoop Dogg E. - Lady Sovereign, is it?
0:26:12 > 0:26:17- Go with Lady Sovereign.- No, I don't know.- We'll go for E, Snoop Dogg.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You're going to say Snoop Dogg for E.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26OK, E, Snoop Dogg. We have A, Eminem, from Jane and Isobel.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Is it right, how many people knew that answer?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Absolutely right.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- 67. - APPLAUSE
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Still, hats off. You got that absolutely right.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Kay and Richie have said that E is Snoop Dogg.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51It's right. 67 is what you have to beat
0:26:51 > 0:26:52and you have done it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Very well done. 30. - APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Well played. 30 beats 67.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04After one question, Kay and Richie, you are up one-nil.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Richard.- Well done, Richie and Kay. That's a good answer fo' shizzle.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Would you have got those?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Missy Elliott.- Richie and Kay have given us all of them.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- I would have got that one. - She would have scored ten points.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- And I would have got Vanilla Ice. He is just so cool!- He is.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Had a number one with Ice Ice Baby and then he appeared on Jedward's cover version of that as well,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33just in case we weren't certain that he was cool.
0:27:33 > 0:27:3628 points, Vanilla Ice, and the best answer on the board,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Kay was absolutely right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's Lady Sovereign.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Oh, it's Lady Sovereign.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Four points. Very well done if you got all five rappers at home.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Splendid. Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Now then, Jane and Isobel, rappers are behind us.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00You have to win this one to stay in the game. Best of luck. Here it comes. It concerns:
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Rome, Richard.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Yeah, Rome being the name, of course, of a New York rapper.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13It's not really. We're simply going to show you five clues to facts about the city of Rome.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- Give us the most obscure answer. - Thank you very much.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Here come your five clues to facts about Rome and we have got:
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54There we are. Five clues to facts about Rome.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Kay and Richie, you go first this time.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03- I don't know any.- The twins who founded the city, Romulus and Remus.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Romulus and Remus, say Kay and Richie.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Now then, Jane and Isobel, you can talk us through the board.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I think it stands on the Tiber.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16The Vatican City,
0:29:16 > 0:29:21and the one we think we're going to go for is the Colosseum.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25The Colosseum. OK, so we have Romulus and Remus and we have the Colosseum.
0:29:25 > 0:29:31Kay and Richie have said Romulus and Remus are the twins who founded the city, according to legend.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Romulus and Remus.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Absolutely right.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- 54. - APPLAUSE
0:29:44 > 0:29:49Not a bad answer. Jane and Isobel have selected the Colosseum as the other name
0:29:49 > 0:29:52for the Flavian Amphitheatre.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Let's see that's right and how many people said the Colosseum.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01OK, you have to win this. Will it go lower than 54?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Yes, you've done it. Very well done. 41. - APPLAUSE.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Well done, Jane and Isobel. You're back in the game.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13- After two questions, it's one-all. - It goes to a final question now.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Romulus and Remus, the biggest scorer on the board. Any of the other answers would have won it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22The Colosseum a perfectly good one. It's where they used to do Gladiators.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Let's take a look at the rest of these. All of these would have won the points.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Quite right, it stands on the River Tiber.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34That would have scored in 38 points.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38The city state, again, you are right, the Vatican City.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41And the best answer on the board is the one you didn't know, well done
0:30:41 > 0:30:46if you got it at home, the year it hosted the Summer Olympics, any idea?
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- 1960.- 1960. Absolutely right. Would have scored 15 points.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Here comes your third question.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Whoever wins this question goes through to the final.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns:
0:31:01 > 0:31:04There we are. Battles, Richard.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08We're going to show you the names of five battles and the centuries in which they were fought,
0:31:08 > 0:31:14but to make things a little trickier, they are in anagram form.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Can you work out the anagrams and pick the most obscure? Best of luck.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Thanks very much, Richard. We have got:
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I'll read those one more time.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54There we are, five battles and the centuries in which they were fought.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59But the battles are in and the anagrammatic form. Jane and Isobel.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03See if you can deduce which battles they are and then pick the one
0:32:03 > 0:32:06you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07This for a place in the final.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14I think we'll just have to go with the top one, which is Hastings.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Jane and Isobel are going with Hastings. The top answer.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Kay and Richie?
0:32:20 > 0:32:25THEY CONFER
0:32:25 > 0:32:2819th century.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Yeah.- We're going with Waterloo for the 19th century one.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Waterloo, 19th century. So we have Hastings and we have Waterloo.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Jane and Isobel went with Hastings for Stashing, 11th century.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Hastings.
0:32:50 > 0:32:5348.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55APPLAUSE
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Something tells me this is gone to be very close.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Kay and Richie, you have said Waterloo.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Is it right and how many people said it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Of course it's right. Where's it going to stop?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You've done it. You've done it. 33.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16APPLAUSE
0:33:16 > 0:33:1933 for Waterloo. Very well done. After three questions,
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Kay and Richie, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Well played, Kay and Richie.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28The famous battle of 1815, where Napoleon did surrender,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30according to that noted historian, Abba.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Shall we have a look at the others? There is a pointless answer.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Do you want to have a go at these? A Tin Rib?
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Erm...- You'll kick yourself when you see it, I promise you.- Britain.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45The Battle of Britain, absolutely right.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- It would have scored in 35 points. Out Racing?- Agincourt.- Absolutely.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- That scored 15. Demo Goers is a pointless answer.- Sedgemoor.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Very well done. A pointless answer.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Well done if you got all five at home.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:34:04 > 0:34:10Jane and Isobel. Having picked Hastings, did you then find that you managed to unpick any others?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I just thought Waterloo would score more than Hastings.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19- Because of Abba, of course. - Yeah, Abba's follow-up hit, Hastings.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Really? What a turkey. - Less well known.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26It's just hard to rhyme anything with Hastings.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Well, Jane and Isobel, you've done brilliantly.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Low scoring consistently throughout the show.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39I'm sorry but this is where we have to say goodbye, but thank you so much for playing.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Jane and Isobel, great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:34:43 > 0:34:48But for Kay and Richie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Congratulations, Kay and Richie. You have seen off the competition
0:34:55 > 0:34:58and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14APPLAUSE
0:35:14 > 0:35:20I'm thrilled that you've made it to the final and to win that money, you have to find a pointless answer.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23We've had no pointless answers today. You have to find one now
0:35:23 > 0:35:26and you'll go home with that 2,000 quid jackpot.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31First, choose a category. You can choose from these five options. They are:
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Spanish pop, yay(!)
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Shall we go film actors?- Yeah, I'm rubbish at everything else.
0:35:40 > 0:35:47- We're going with actors.- Actors. Very good. Best of luck.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:35:49 > 0:35:54to name as many Michael J Fox films as they could. Richard.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:35:57 > 0:36:03for which Michael J Fox has received an acting credit, prior to the beginning of May 2012.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06As always, no short films, TV films, but voice performances do count.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:12 > 0:36:17and all you need to win the £2,000 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Are you ready?- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I don't know who he is.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Right. He was in Stuart Little. - Yes, I've seen that.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36Back To The Future is quite a high one. Doc Hollywood.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Never heard of that. Who is he in Back To The Future?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42He's Marty McFly.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Oh, yeah. I do know who he is.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Oh, God. Michael J Fox films.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52I can't think of any.
0:36:52 > 0:37:00- Stuck now.- Stuart Little.- Yeah. Stuart Little.- Back To The Future.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06- Back To The Future, just cos it's awesome.- And then Doc Hollywood.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- I've never heard of that one. - Are those your three?- Yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15You don't want any more time? We will stop the clock there.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17We were looking for Michael J Fox films.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22- What are you going to give me? - We're going to go for Back To The Future Part III as our least
0:37:22 > 0:37:26confident one, as opposed to two and one because people might have forgotten it.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I didn't even know there was three.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Yeah, but, Kay, you didn't even know who Michael J Fox was.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- I'm going to listen to Richie. - I'm really rubbish with names.
0:37:36 > 0:37:43- Really good with faces. But no.- OK, so? Back To The Future Part III.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Stuart Little.- Stuart Little.- And Doc Hollywood.- And Doc Hollywood.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51You said Back To The Future Part III was your least confident.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- We'll put that one first. - Most confident with Doc Hollywood.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Doc Hollywood last and in the middle, Stuart Little.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Let's pop them up on the board in that order. Here they are. We have got:
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK, so we were looking for Michael J Fox films.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Back To The Future Part III was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Let's see how many people said Back To The Future Part III.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Well, it's right.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24It's right, this is your first shot at £2,000.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Let's see how many people realised there was a part three
0:38:27 > 0:38:30to Back To The Future. Still going down. 11.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- APPLAUSE - Not bad.- I'm very surprised.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39Only two more chances to win today's jackpot. Kay, what would you do with two grand?
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- Obviously, we'd have halve it, so I'd have 1,000.- I would hope so.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48With £1,000, I want to go where I met my boyfriend on holiday
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- and celebrate our anniversary. - Very good. Richie, how about you?
0:38:52 > 0:38:57I would save it up and go to the Coachella music festival in America next year.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Do you know who will be playing next year?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03If it's anything like last year, Freddie Mercury. Possibly.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07OK, well. Who did they have last year? Michael Jackson?
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Tupac, it was a hologram. - Oh, I see. Good.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Well, we're looking for Michael J Fox films.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Stuart Little.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23This has to be pointless if you're going to win that £2,000 jackpot.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Let's see how many people said Stuart Little.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Well, it's also right.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35We went down to 11 with Back To The Future Part III. Stuart Little.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39How far down is it going to take us? Still going down.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Down it goes. Still going, oh! Look at that. Wow!
0:39:43 > 0:39:47APPLAUSE
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Oh!
0:39:49 > 0:39:55Wow! You're one point away from the Coachella music festival.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Why didn't we say that?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- What did you just say then?- I said, I wish we'd said Stuart Little 2.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Is there not a three?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Could have pushed it a bit further with three.
0:40:07 > 0:40:14OK, only one more chance to win today's jackpot of £2,000. That was close. That was very close.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19But you had no problem with putting your last answer, Doc Hollywood, as your third.
0:40:19 > 0:40:26That was your most confident answer. We've got to hope you were right. To win the jackpot of £2,000,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30it has to be pointless. Let's find out. Doc Hollywood, is it a pointless answer?
0:40:30 > 0:40:36How many of our 100 people, when asked to name a Michael J Fox film, could name Doc Hollywood?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Very best of luck.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Well, it's right. Back To The Future Part III took us down to 11.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Stuart Little down to one.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Doc Hollywood, can it take you down to pointless?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Oh! Three.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Wow! Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15But you gave us a close run for our money. That was fantastic.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20You've been fantastic and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Unlucky. You played so well.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You've been terrific throughout the whole show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Stuart Little 1, Michael J Fox plays the voice of Stuart Little.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36There is a Stuart Little 2, but the voice of Stuart Little
0:41:36 > 0:41:39is played by Michael J Fox as well and was a pointless answer.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Why did you have to say that?
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Atlantis, The Lost Empire. Another voice performance.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Blue In The Face, a terrific film. Bright Lights, Big City.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Class of 1984, when he was still Michael Fox.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06Coldblooded, another voice performance Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Homeward Bound Two: Lost In San Francisco.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13There is Stuart Little 2. And The American President.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15That was a pointless answer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Also well done if you said Interstate 60, Life With Mikey,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Light Of Day, Midnight Madness, The Concierge or The Hard Way.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25All of those pointless as well. Unlucky, guys.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- but it's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Great contestants.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Nobody's won our jackpot today so it rolls over,
0:42:38 > 0:42:43which means on the next show, we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46APPLAUSE
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55APPLAUSE
