0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30This is the show where the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and contestants have to come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, first off, we welcome Bill and Susan.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45How do you two know each other, Bill?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Well, I've known Susan all her life. She's my baby sister.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- And, Susan, where are you from? - Belfast, in Northern Ireland.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54From Belfast. Now then, Bill, what do you do?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I work in Northern Ireland's Department of Health,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59looking at public health statistics.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01So lots of very jolly things like
0:01:01 > 0:01:04death rates, suicide, obesity...
0:01:04 > 0:01:06LAUGHTER
0:01:06 > 0:01:08What are the chances of that?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11They said I was perfect for the show.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Eerily.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Susan, how about you? What do you do?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- I'm also a civil servant. What are the chances of that happening?! - Well, really!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22What are they? Actually, Bill, seriously, what are the chances of that?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- About 95%.- Now, what do you like to do when you're not civil servanting?
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Me and my brother last year done some life drawing classes. We only done them for one term...
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- You were both drawing, I'm guessing, not...- Yes.- Yeah.- OK, good.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Yeah, no, we weren't the models. - Just tidy that up.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- But it got a bit awkward because they were all females and it was a wee bit weird.- Not for me!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46A wee bit weird, sitting with your brother with a naked woman in front of you, and you sort of go...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48So we only done it for one term.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- I've been back three times since! - Really?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Ah, very good!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Very, very best of luck to you, Bill and Susan. Welcome to the show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Next we welcome back Andy and Gordon.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You were on the show last time.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Andy, remind us how you know each other.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07We met at a pub about 11 years ago
0:02:07 > 0:02:10when Gordon was the quizmaster of a pub quiz.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Gordon, what happened last time?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15When we got to the head-to-head,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17we came up against a pretty tough subject
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- and we just couldn't SEE the answer. - Oh, yes of course.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It was parts of the eye. Yeah, it really was tough.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What would be your dream category, Andy?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Parts of the ear, I think. - Oh, yeah!- Hot on that. Hot on that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I'm hearing it.- Or more seriously, history or literature, or sport.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Any particular period of history?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I'm quite into the Tudors - my specialist subject at university.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40OK, well, very, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43You made it through to the head-to-head last time.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I can see no reason why you shouldn't make it that far
0:02:46 > 0:02:47and maybe beyond today.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Next we welcome Katie and David. Now, how do you two know each other?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We're married and we've been together 25 years.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Very good indeed.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- David, where are you from?- We're from Guildford in leafy Surrey.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- What do you do in Guildford, David? - We're children's entertainers.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Oh, both of you are? - Yeah, we work as a double act.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- We've been doing it for 25 years. - Wow!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Soon after we met in the cinema. Katie was engaged at the time...- Ah!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15..Wasn't interested in me - she thought I was gay!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Maybe it's the shirt!- Yeah. Well...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I soon set her straight.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Or maybe she set you straight. I don't know.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Anyway, Katie, David, what are going to be your specialist subjects?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Natural history, nature and films for me, I think would be good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- David?- Body parts.- Oh, body parts, yes.- Wow, I'm so glad.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Did you have a round on eyes? - Yeah, yeah.- I could have done that.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- We had the wrong show!- Do you know about the ciliary muscle?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50That was very convincing.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Does she know about the ciliary muscle?- I wasn't convinced she does.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Well, maybe. Maybe.- It's the lens. - Oh, she does know.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Oh, you're good.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Do you know about the restarvic muscle?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh, no.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ha-ha, I just made it up!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09She is good! There we are. Welcome to the show, Katie and David.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- It's great to have you here. - Thank you.- Thanks.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And finally, we've got Lee and Gemma. Now, how do you two know each other?
0:04:15 > 0:04:20We met each other in a club about ten years ago and have been married for about 18 months.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Many congratulations. Where are you from?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- We're from Nottingham.- From Nottingham. What do you do, Gemma?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- I'm actually a contact lens optician, so I'm... - Ah! Parts of the eye!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- ..gutted!- Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- That was my specialist subject. - What, ciliary muscles?- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, no! You'd have been super-cili...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Oh, no, that's just too... Sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Anything you'd hate to see come up, that is a real black spot?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Geography, I think.- Geography. OK.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Lee, how about you? - Probably sport for me.- Ah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Not a big fan of sport at all. - Right, OK.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well, very, very best of luck. It's lovely to have you on the show.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Welcome. We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes along.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59There's one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02We've just heard they're making Pointless the musical,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04and he's going to be played by Gareth Gates.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Should be a cracking show today. Everybody seems to be quite bright.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- You know, where's the fun in that? - Yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's very hard to work out which among you is going to give
0:05:23 > 0:05:26that stupid, ridiculous wrong answer that's going to make us all laugh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Fingers crossed, someone will. - Thanks very much.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32All our questions on Pointless have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36In order to get to the final round, and be in with a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44So, the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points they'll score.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What everyone's trying to do, of course, is find a pointless answer,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49an answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00so today's jackpot starts off at £5,250.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Try and make sure that's not you. Our first category today is...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's countries.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries
0:06:46 > 0:06:49whose names contain the word "in", as they could.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Countries whose names contain the word "in". This is fun. Richard?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58We're looking for any country whose usual short form English names
0:06:58 > 0:07:02contains the word "in", that's the letters "I" and "N" consecutively.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03As always, by country,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09See how many of these you can get at home while everyone's thinking.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK. Thank you very much.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Now then, Bill and Susan,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I'm going to give you a little bit of time to marshal your thoughts, Susan.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26I'm not sure if this is a country or not. I've heard of it and...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Erm, I'm maybe going to go for Turkmenistan.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Turkmenistan.- I don't know if that's got an "in" in it or not.- OK.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You're saying Turkmenistan.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Let's see if that's right and,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Turkmenistan.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Ooh, bad luck, Susan.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- I'm sorry.- Yeah, sorry, Susan. It doesn't have "in" in it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It has "ni" - Turkmenistan - but not "in".
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Gordon, the most obscure country with an "in" in.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Well, the country I'm thinking of isn't necessarily obscure but...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I hope I've got my spelling right.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And I've got them the right way round,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13because I think it might be Spain.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Spain. Let's see if that's right and,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Absolutely right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:3119 for Spain.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Well done, Gordon. Very solid answer. Do you want a pointless fact?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Yeah, I'd love one.- There's no law against nudity in Spain.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- You can go naked wherever you want. - Well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So then, now then, Katie, what is the most obscure country
0:08:46 > 0:08:51whose name contains the word "in" that you can summon to mind?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I'm not sure about my ex-Russian geography,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but I'm going to try Ukraine.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Ukraine, says Katie.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Let's see if that's right and,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Absolutely right, Katie. Your ex-Russian geography is immaculate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Wow!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17One, Katie!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- This is good.- Very good.- Ukraine.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Very well played, Katie.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Lee?- I hope this is a country. I think it is.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29In the Middle East, Bahrain.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35Bahrain, says Lee. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Another one! Look at that!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Two fantastic scores on the trot, there. One for Bahrain.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Well played, Lee. I don't have any pointless facts about Bahrain,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58other than the British School of Bahrain holds the world record
0:09:58 > 0:10:00for the world's largest simultaneous coin toss.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Wow.- Yeah, I'm afraid I've got no pointless facts. I've just got that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- That's the only...- Splendid. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Lee and Gemma, Katie and David both looking
0:10:13 > 0:10:16very, very strong indeed on just one point apiece.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Then we travel up to 19 where we find Gordon and Andy,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20also looking pretty solid.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Then, I'm afraid, it's quite a hike up to 100
0:10:23 > 0:10:24where we find Susan and Bill.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35So we're looking for countries whose names contain the word "in".
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Now then, Gemma, the high scorers Bill and Susan are on 100.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43You're on one. A score of 98 or less will see you into the next round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Not my strong point, geography.- 98!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Now I think I've finally found a use for the Eurovision,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53so I'm going to take a bit of a punt and go for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Bosnia and Herzegovina.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57OK. There is your red line.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01If you get below that with Bosnia and Herzegovina, you are through to the next round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Let's see. Bosnia and Herzegovina - is that right?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05How many people said it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08It's right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's a pointless answer, Gemma!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Very well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £5,500.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at one.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33There you were, setting the scene by saying geography wasn't your strong point,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and then you score our first pointless of the round. Fantastic! Richard?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yeah, well played, Gemma. Great introduction to Pointless.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Bosnia Herzegovina, the capital is Sarajevo,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45where Torvill and Dean won the 1984 Olympic gold.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Thank you very much indeed. Now then, David, what about that?- Yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Their total is one. - That is frightening.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The high scorers remain Bill and Susan on 100. 98 or less.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Well, please remember I'm a children's entertainer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That is my strength.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Geography...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm going to take a gamble...
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Slovenia.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Slovenia.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yes.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Because I was looking at a geog... at an atlas,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- and I'm not quite sure whether it's country or a town.- OK.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Slovenia. Here's your red line, very high.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28If Slovenia is right, and it gets you below that red line,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30you're through to the next round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Let's see. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Bad luck, David. Bad luck.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44That takes your total up to 101. Richard?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Sorry, David. It is a country but it doesn't have "in" in it, I'm afraid.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52In that respect, it's very much twinned with Turkmenistan.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- It's S-L-O-V-E-N-I-A.- Oh!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Bad luck, but a lifeline to Bill and Susan there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Now then, Andy, you're on 19.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04The high scorers are now David and Katie on 101,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08so a score of 81 or less from you will see you into the next round.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13I'm tempted to move away from the sort of Eastern Bloc and Balkans and go for Trinidad and Tobago.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Trinidad and Tobago. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And you're through.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Ah!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Not just through, through pointlessly.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Another pointless answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36It adds another 250 quid to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £5,750.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 19.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Very well done, Andy. Richard? - Yeah, terrific answer, Andy. Very well played.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- It's a good round so far, isn't it? - Yeah.- A real mixture of scores.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51OK, Bill. You need a pointless answer and only a pointless answer will see you straight through.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Obviously if you score one, we will go to a tie-break.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57The high scorers are on 101, David and Katie,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59so a pointless answer is what you need.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03What are you thinking about?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I'm thinking, where's the door?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12The first answer I came up with, and I'm not sure it's pointless,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Liechtenstein.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Liechtenstein.- Liechtenstein. - Liechtenstein.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Yeah, you've got the... - I like Liechtenstein..
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- What do you think, Susan? - Better than mine!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27We're looking for countries whose names contain the word "in".
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Bill has said Liechtenstein. Your red line is...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Take my word for it, it's there. It's just very close to the floor.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Now then, is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Liechtenstein.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46It's right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Can it get you through to the next round?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yes, it can, Bill!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That's amazing! Very, very well done, you.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58That's a pointless answer, our third of the round.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03It adds another 250 quid to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £6,000.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 100 and it sees you into the next round.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Very well done indeed, Bill. That was very exciting indeed. Richard?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Yeah, I have to say that might be the greatest Pointless escape of all time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Incredible escape. Very well played.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Liechtenstein one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We've discussed that before. The other one being...?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Central African Republic. - Uzbekistan.- Oh, right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29LAUGHTER
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I suspect some people at home will have got a few of these.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Let's take a look at the most popular answers,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59which are shockingly low-scoring, I have to say. In third place...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05As you might expect, Indonesia is second.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Would have scored 27.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09India is top with just 41 points.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Well, at the end of that round,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17our losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, David and Katie.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Oh dear! And, Katie, brilliant answer - Ukraine!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Scored you just one.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28- David?- My mind went blank. - Well, it does, though. It does. - Yeah.- It always does.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I thought there aren't any countries beginning with "in".
0:16:31 > 0:16:34They don't have to begin with them! And there are!
0:16:34 > 0:16:38But, anyway, listen, we'll look forward to seeing you next time, David and Katie.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Meanwhile, thanks so much for playing. Excellent contestants.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But, for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Now, sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us, to leave us with
0:16:54 > 0:16:58our two pairs for the head-to-head round, but that was very exciting.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Lee and Gemma, wonderful, wonderful low score there of one.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Amazing. Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Chemistry. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16who's going to go second?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25And our question concerns...
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Acids and their formulas, Richard? - Yeah, on each pass, we'll show you six chemical formulas for acids.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We're also going to show you a brief description of that acid
0:17:36 > 0:17:37which might be more useful, I suspect.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Give us the name of the acid. The most obscure one - fewer points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Incorrect one - 100 points.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- 12 acids in all to guess at home.- OK.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So we are looking for the common names of the acids
0:17:49 > 0:17:52described by these clues and we have got...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'll read those all again.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53There we go. There are six acids.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56You need to give me their common names.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Susan, what are we thinking?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Well, yet again, geography, chemistry
0:19:03 > 0:19:05not my strong point again.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- Are the clues helpful, though? - The clues are helpful on this one.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15There's one I definitely know and it's the one about the pregnancy,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19so I'm going to go for that one, and I think it's folic acid.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Folic acid is C19H19N7O6.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Absolutely right, Susan. Well done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Not a bad score at all. Richard?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Well done, Susan, and good food sources for folic acid -
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- liver and kiwi fruit, among the best.- Liver and kiwi fruit. Andy?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Discovered yet another weak point, I'm afraid.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think, though, that vitamin C could be citric acid.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Citric acid, you are saying. C6H8O6.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Citric acid - let's see if that's right and,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Citric acid, says Andy.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, bad luck, Andy.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Oh, and that was a good sort of citric acid face, there! - Sour lemons.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Unfortunately, an incorrect answer, though,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I'm afraid, so that scores you 100 points. I'm sorry. Richard?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Sorry, Andy. I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Now then, Gemma, you asked for chemistry.- I did.- Chemistry's good.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Are you still liking this? - Yeah, it's not bad, could be worse.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Excellent. You can take us through this board if you like.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38You can fill in all the blanks and then decide which one you want to submit.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Well, I don't know vitamin C. I know it's not citric acid.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Lab experiments is hydrochloric, acid in industry is sulphuric.
0:20:45 > 0:20:53I think rhubarb might be oxalic and water is carbonic,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57but I think I'm going to go with sulphuric for acid in industry.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Sulphuric acid in industry. Let's see if that's right and,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer. Sulphuric acid.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Yep, it's right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Well, it's the lowest score of the pass. Very well done, Gemma.
0:21:17 > 0:21:2025 for sulphuric acid, H2SO4.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Yeah, more of it made each year than any other manufactured chemical, sulphuric acid.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Fertiliser is its main use.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You should have gone for some of the other answers.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30You went through the board beautifully there.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34You were quite right about the school lab experiments. That's hydrochloric acid.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37That would've been a worse answer, would have scored you 31.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The poisonous acid found in rhubarb, quite right, it's oxalic.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42That would have scored you four.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45The acid that gives sparkling water its sharp taste is carbonic.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48That would have got five, so both would have been terrific answers.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52And the one that no-one knows, the acid commonly known as vitamin C,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55is ascorbic acid. Would have scored 15 points.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So oxalic acid the best answer on that board. Very well done if you got all of them.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01OK, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We're halfway through the round. The best answer so far came from Gemma.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Lovely low score of 25 there. Could have been even lower.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Then we go up to 36 where we find Susan and Bill,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and then up, I'm afraid, to 100 where we find Andy and Gordon.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18OK, back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Now then, Lee, we're going to put six more acids on the board
0:22:24 > 0:22:25and here they are.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27We have got...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'll read them one last time and here we go.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Now remember we're looking for the common names of these acids.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Lee, you're on 25, you're the low scorers.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25The high scorers on 100 are Gordon and Andy,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27which means a score of 74 or less
0:23:27 > 0:23:31will see you through to the next round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think I know three of them.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Of those three,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38the one I think would be the most obscure
0:23:38 > 0:23:41is acid from which LSD is derived - lysergic.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Lysergic, says Lee. Here is your red line. Quite nice and high.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Let's see if lysergic acid is right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it. Lysergic.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Look at that! Very well done.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59And you're through.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08The best score so far, Lee. Very well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11That takes your total up to 37.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Good answer, safely through. Lysergic acid also known as lithic acid as well.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Originally developed, they were trying to find a headache cure.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Now then, Gordon, you're the high scorers on 100 by quite some way.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27OK, I was feeling reasonably confident...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33..with the LSD one, because that's exactly what I was looking at,
0:24:33 > 0:24:38and so as that's been taken away from my options,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41the only other one that I'm confident of,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45or reasonably confident of, is the same answer as Andy gave.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50So the sharp-tasting acid found in lemons is citric.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Citric, the sharp-tasting acid found in lemons.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59No red line for you as you are the highest scorers.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00It's right.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's a big score.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11And, as a consequence, I'm afraid, it takes you out of the reach of Bill.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14162 is your total. Richard?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yeah, it's a big score but a correct answer.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Most citric acid is now created by feeding sugar to bacteria.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Now then, Bill, you're through to the head-to-head, whatever happens.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The board is yours. Talk us through it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31There's a... I could sort of guess the bottom one.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Carboxylic comes to mind for the bottom one.- Carboxylic?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I may have just made that up, I don't know.- Sounds good.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Acid found in sour milk - lactic?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45No, I'm not sure of that.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Caustic acid found in ants and stinging nettles,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I don't know, so I'm going to go for chief acid in vinegar.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- I think it is acetic acid. - Let's see.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56For fun, acetic acid, is that right? The main acid found in vinegar.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59It is.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Very well done. 23 takes your total up to 59.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Richard?- Yeah, acetic acid. Well played, Bill.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17It's got other names as well, but acetic acid is its most common one. Let's go through the board.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You were right about the sour milk one as well, actually.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It was lactic acid. That would've scored 30 points.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26The coal tar one, it's not carboxylic, but it's simply carbolic,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29carbolic acid, and that's a pointless answer,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33so very well done if you said carbolic acid at home.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And the acid found in ants and stinging nettles - it's formic acid.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Would have scored you 10 points.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Very well done to anyone who got all 12 of those. Very impressive.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, Gordon and Andy.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Scientific subjects - not good. - Yeah. We have to say goodbye.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Gordon and Andy, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57But, for the remaining two pairs,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01things are about to get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, congratulations, Lee and Gemma, Bill and Susan.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14You're now only one round away from the final and the chance
0:27:14 > 0:27:18to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £6,000.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, you're going to go head-to-head
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and the first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31but the important news is you're now allowed to confer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34So, from here on in, you play as teams.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Now, Lee and Gemma, it's been pretty impressive.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41In fact, pretty much every round that's come up has played to your strengths.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- It is.- It's good.- Will it continue?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- What will be the best topics to come up in this round?- Film, telly.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Film and TV, probably.- OK.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Oh, Bill!
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Well, you've done very well, Turkmenistan, notwithstanding.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And now you're a team. You can put all your knowledge together.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I put all my eggs in Bill. - OK. Well, anything can happen.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- Richard?- We're going to show you five stills or publicity shots from Julia Roberts films.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Can you name the films, please, and pick the most obscure?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Here are our five stills from Julia Roberts films and we have got...
0:28:49 > 0:28:53There we are. Five stills from five Julia Roberts films.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Now, Lee and Gemma, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02We're going to go for A, which we think is Flatliners.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Flatliners. Flatliners, A.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Bill and Susan, you can talk us through the rest of the board if you like.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I think we know the rest of the board.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16I think possibly Gemma and Lee have the best answer.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I think B's The Mexican.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21C's Charlie Wilson's War,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23D's Runaway Bride
0:29:23 > 0:29:25and E's Peter Pan.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Shall we go for The Mexican? Might go for The Mexican, B.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30You're going to go for The Mexican, B.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33So we have Flatliners, A,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Lee and Gemma saying A is Flatliners.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Let's see if that's right and,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40if it is, how many of our 100 people said that?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It's right.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56OK, Bill and Susan have said B, The Mexican.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04It's right. 23 is what you have to beat.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Ooh, it's going to be close. Oh, you've done it!
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Four for The Mexican. Very, very well done.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Bill and Susan, after one question, you are ahead 1-0. Richard?
0:30:20 > 0:30:25Flatliners actually the second highest of all the scorers on that board.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28C - Charlie Wilson's War, you're absolutely right.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30That's actually the best answer up there.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Would have scored you two points.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33You're right about D as well.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36That's the Runaway Bride, but that was the biggest scorer of all - 48.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40And the only one you got the name wrong was Hook, rather than Peter Pan.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44That would have scored 14. Would also have been a winning answer.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Well done if you got all of those at home. Charlie Wilson's War, the best answer there.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Thanks, Richard. Here's your second question, Lee and Gemma.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54You have to win this question to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55It concerns...
0:30:59 > 0:31:00UK castles, Richard?
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Quite simply, we're going to show you the names of five UK castles, but in anagram form.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Can you unscramble them and pick the most obscure?
0:31:08 > 0:31:09OK. Thanks very much.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Let's reveal our five UK castles and here they are.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15We have got, in anagrammatic form...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I'll read those one last time.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36There we have five UK castles in anagram form.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Bill and Susan, you go first,
0:31:38 > 0:31:43but you can have a bit of time to think and confer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I think the first one that jumped out at us
0:31:45 > 0:31:48was a castle from back home.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50The top one, Carrickfergus.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Carrickfergus.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Carrickfergus, say Bill and Susan.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Now then, Lee and Gemma, you can talk us through the rest of the board.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03It won't take long!
0:32:03 > 0:32:08We think we only know two, which is behind rug - Edinburgh,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10and rob a mall - Balmoral.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I think we'll have to stump for Edinburgh.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17You're going to go for behind rug - Edinburgh.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23So, we have crack fire rugs - Carrickfergus, say Bill and Susan.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Carrickfergus - let's see if that's right and,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Absolutely right.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Wow!
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Now then, Lee and Gemma, this is the question you have to win.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53They've set the bar incredibly low there with Carrickfergus.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55You have gone for Edinburgh Castle - behind rug.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see if it'll beat five.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Well, it's right.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05How far down will it take you? Down it goes, still going.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Still going down. 18.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14After only two questions, Bill and Susan,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Well played, Bill and Susan. Carrickfergus, a Norman castle in County Antrim.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Actually not the best answer on the board, but a very good answer.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- The top answer is "in words". That's the last one I worked out.- Windsor?!
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Windsor, absolutely. Couldn't see it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30That would have scored 50 points.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Rob a mall is Balmoral, as you suspected.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35That would have scored 27.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38And do you know 'hot wrinkle"?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Kenilworth in Warwickshire.- Ah!- Made famous by the Sir Walter Scott novel.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Would have scored three points, so the best answer up there.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Well done if you got that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Very good. Thank you, Richard.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53it's Lee and Gemma.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57And you came into this so strongly. First round was a film round!
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- I thought you had this sewn up. - We just chose the wrong answer.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03That's tough. That was really tough.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Any tips you've learned from this first appearance?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Erm, yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10When we get to the head-to-head, let me choose the answer!
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Ha-ha!
0:34:12 > 0:34:13OK!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15BOOING
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Right. Very good indeed. Well, Lee and Gemma, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26But, for Bill and Susan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Well, congratulations, Bill and Susan.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and,
0:34:44 > 0:34:48at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £6,000.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I mean, did you ever think in a million years...
0:34:55 > 0:35:00You were standing there on the first podium and you were 100 points up - or down, you might say.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05I mean, it was really looking like it was curtains, a very early exit for Bill and Susan.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Oh, definitely. I thought I'd just ruined the whole show
0:35:08 > 0:35:10and we were out at the first round, but Bill saved me.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I knew she'd spelt it wrong and...
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Oh, dear! Oh, no, nightmare!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20So my whole aim was just not 200, let's just play it safe,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22and the first answer came into my mind was Liechtenstein.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27- And what was really hard was... - Which shows you how warped my mind is!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Ha-ha! No, it doesn't. It shows a brilliant mind.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Only a pointless answer would save you and you found a pointless answer.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Amazing.- I know.- Amazing!
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Anyway, very, very best of luck.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Let's hope this run of luck continues.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40The rules are very simple.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45To win that money, that £6,000 jackpot, all you have to do is find one pointless answer,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47and you will leave here with that money.
0:35:47 > 0:35:53- Firstly, you've got to choose a category and you can choose from these five options.- They are...
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Well, islands and European theatre - no way.- No.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Geography's not for you, no. - No, definitely not!
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Novelists could be anything. - Heart-throbs?
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Could those be like films, people or...?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Yeah, you watch all that slushy stuff, so maybe that's for you.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- This is where Susan redeems herself. - Hopefully!
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Do you want to go for that one? - We'll go for heart-throbs.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Heart-throbs, it is. OK. Well, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Here it comes.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many celebrities
0:36:33 > 0:36:38who have been named Sexiest Man Alive as they could. Richard?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Yeah, we're looking for any man who's been voted Sexiest Man Alive by
0:36:42 > 0:36:47the American People magazine, since that award began in 1985, please.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Very best of luck.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:52 > 0:36:57and all you need to win that £6,000 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Obvious ones are George Clooney, Brad Pitt...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Let me think, is there any...? - Tom Cruise.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Hugh Grant, would he be deemed as sexy in America?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Because of Four Weddings And A Funeral.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23I'm trying to think 1985. Who was big in '85. The Brat Pack?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26That would have been Patrick Swayze and stuff,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28that kind of thing, Dirty Dancing.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What about musicians and stuff like that?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Jon Bon Jovi and people like that? - Yeah, could be Jon Bon Jovi.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36He would have been big in the '80s. We have to sort of think back then.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Yeah.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42American stars as well, would they have been athletes or anything?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46We need to get an answer, so Jon Bon Jovi would be one.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Patrick Swayze, cos of Dirty Dancing?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Yeah, just pick a really obscure one.- Oh.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I'm trying to think of a film.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Ten seconds.- Kiefer Sutherland cos he was...- No.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Erm, give me another one.- Go for George Clooney.- George Clooney.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05We'll just go for George Clooney, yeah, can't think of anyone else.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07OK. There we are. Your time is up.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09You seem to have landed on three answers.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11They sounded like good answers to me.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15We were looking for men who've been voted sexiest man alive.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I now need your three answers.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- The first answer was George Clooney. - George Clooney.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Patrick Swayze.- Patrick Swayze.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- And Jon Bon Jovi.- And Jon Bon Jovi.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Now of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Jon Bon Jovi, I think.- Jon Bon Jovi. - So I'll put Jon Bon Jovi last.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- And your least likely? - George Clooney.- George Clooney.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36- Yep.- OK. We'll put him first.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40OK, let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are. We have got...
0:38:45 > 0:38:49George Clooney, you said, was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that £6,000 jackpot.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Bill, £6,000 - what would you do?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Erm, I would take my children on a holiday,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01maybe to Lapland or something like that, or Disneyland.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Oh, go and see Father Christmas. Very good. Susan?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Well, after the shopping spree, I would then go to New York.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10I've been to America but I've never been to New York
0:39:10 > 0:39:13and I've got this kind of romantic idea of it,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15so I'd love to go and do that and see that.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Very good. Well, very best of luck. Let's hope one of these excellent answers wins you that jackpot.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, your first answer - George Clooney.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27George Clooney.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32It's right.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33A correct answer.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Now, if this goes all the way down to zer... Oh!
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Well, unfortunately not a pointless answer but you had him first for a reason.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I mean, he was filling a place there. Wow! 54, that's a big score.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52That is a big score. Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Everything now riding on Patrick Swayze and Jon Bon Jovi.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59OK, we are looking for men who have been voted Sexiest Man Alive.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Patrick Swayze.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04It has to be right and pointless.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Patrick Swayze, is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh, very well done. Second correct answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15George Clooney stopped around about now.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Patrick Swayze is still going down.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Now, if he goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £6,000.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Still going... 6!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Well, that's more like it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33We're narrowing it down. 54 to 6.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36That's a great improvement.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. Everything is riding on Jon Bon Jovi.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Now, who's the Jon Bon Jovi fan? - He mentioned him!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Now you're having a laugh, no! No, definitely not.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50But he was the sort of person who might well have been...
0:40:50 > 0:40:54I remember when I was about 11, all the girls in my class loved him.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Yeah, 1985, surely. Some time around then, '86, '87.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Living On A Prayer and all that stuff.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03OK, right. Everything is riding on Jon Bon Jovi. A brilliant answer, maybe.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Jon Bon Jovi - is it correct? How many people said it?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14SHE MOUTHS
0:41:14 > 0:41:15Bad luck.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:27 > 0:41:31so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £6,000, which will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34but you have been amazing, I mean absolutely brilliant, contestants.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39And you do, of course, get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45OK. This is where we find out what all the answers were.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Bit of kicking of ourselves, I should think. Richard? - Yeah, unlucky, guys.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52It was a guessing game, but there are pointless answers you could have guessed.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55George Clooney is the highest answer of all, followed by Brad Pitt,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58then Sean Connery, Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59All of those were quite high scorers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones, though.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Ben Affleck won it in 2002, Denzel Washington won it in 1996,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Harrison Ford - 1998.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Harry Hamlin from LA Law, he won it. Jude Law won it.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Might have been a guess.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Mark Harmon, another American TV actor - he won it back in the '80s.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Matt Damon also won it.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Nick Nolte?!- Yeah, Nick Nolte. - Never would have thought of that.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Maybe back in 1992. The only other pointless answer's John F Kennedy Jr.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34The most recent winner - Bradley Cooper.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- There you go. - But he scored six points, you see. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Bill and Susan, but it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants. - Thank you.- Cheers.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55which means on the next show we will be playing for £7,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
