0:00:21 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless
0:00:27 > 0:00:33where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40First up, we welcome back Katie and David. You were on last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:46Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Katie, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51We're married to each other. We've been together for 25 years.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57- David, remind us what happened last time.- I disgraced myself. I let myself down, my wife down,
0:00:57 > 0:01:03- my family down.- Your school down... - My friends down. I don't know how to spell Slovenia.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- But I do now!- You do now. You won't forget that. It's "en".- Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Thank you, Xander. - Katie, what do you hope comes up?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Er, natural history, anything to do with animals, horses,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20biology I'm quite good at, I know a bit about anatomy.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- David, are there any you would hate? - Well, geography.- Or spelling!
0:01:25 > 0:01:31Well, all right, yeah. My mother will be so upset. She's such a good speller.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37Anyway, lovely to have you back. Very best of luck. And next we welcome Heather and Graham.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- How do you two know each other? - We're married.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45It's hilarious having to duck round David. There you go! I've got you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- Where are you from? - We live in Swansea. Been there for over 30 years, in Wales.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- What do you do, Graham? - I'm retired now, semi-retired, but I done videography and photography.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- My own little business.- Excellent.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Heather, what do you like to get up to in your spare time?- Oh, lots.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10I like cooking and I like knitting, sewing, looking after the grandchild.
0:02:10 > 0:02:17- Going to the gym, I help with a weight loss class a couple of times a week.- Very good.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- How old's your grandchild? - One of three and one of ten. - Very good indeed.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- It's nice having people whose names make up a Hollywood star.- It is.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Anyway, very best of luck and a warm welcome to the show.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Next we welcome back Lee and Gemma. You were on last time.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- Remind us how you know each other. - We've been married for 18 months now.- Gemma, what happened last time?
0:02:41 > 0:02:47- We did well, got to the Head To Head and then it all went wrong. - Carrickfergus!
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- But they were from Northern Ireland! They knew.- Unfair advantage. - It must have been a fix.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- What do you hope comes up today? - Jake Gyllenhaal films, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- OK, good.- Can you sort that? - Thanks, Richard.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- We've done Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal films.- Can we just sort out how you say his name?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I call him Jake.- That'll do. - Big Jake.- Yeah, Jakey.
0:03:11 > 0:03:18- Anything you'd hate to see, Gemma? - Politics, history...- Yep.- ..sport. - Ok, just those things, yep(!)
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Just those.- Small, trifling matters. Anyway, very best of luck to you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29- Lovely to have you back. And finally we've got Dave and Steve. How do you know each other?- Work colleagues.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- And what do you do? - We're both postmen.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Perfect. On the same... Of course not on the same route! What kind of question's that?!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- But similar routes? - In the same town.- The same town.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- Dave, what are you hoping for? - I'd love sport.- Particular areas or do you cover across the board?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53A broad range. I like darts, I love cricket, football.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Running, which I still try and do a bit. In-between work.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Well, very best of luck to you. Great to have you.- Thank you.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06We'll find out more throughout the show.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12Only one person left. The man the speaking clock rings to get the time. My Pointless friend, Richard.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Hiya.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Hello!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- It's about 5:18 and 34 seconds. - LAUGHTER
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Thank you. - It might be when it goes out.
0:04:28 > 0:04:36Yeah. They can time it from that. They'll have to cut out all of that chat there, but no bad thing.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's 5:16 and 8 seconds.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44We've got three married couples today. That doesn't happen often.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Statistically, 33% of marriages in this country end in divorce.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55Statistically. So all I'm saying is just keep your eye on the three married couples. Have a bet at home.
0:04:55 > 0:05:03- A little side bet.- It's going to be one of them. Round One today I think everyone will enjoy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09All our questions were put to 100 people before the show. For a chance to get through to the final round,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13our contestants have to find the obscure answers the 100 didn't get.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18The fewer of the 100 people who knew, the fewer you'll score.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 people said.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Do that and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time so we add £1,000
0:05:28 > 0:05:32and today's jackpot starts off at £7,000!
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Our first category today is... Children's TV!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15OK, the question concerns... characters from children's TV shows.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Characters from children's TV shows. Richard?
0:06:18 > 0:06:24We'll show you seven characters from children's TV shows. Name the series where they first appeared.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29A nice obscure answer gets fewer points. An incorrect answer is 100.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Seven on each pass, 14 in all to have a go a at home.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39Thank you very much, Richard. You all drew lots and Katie and David, you get to go first.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44We're looking for the shows in which these children's characters originally appeared.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48HE READS THE LIST
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Pikachu...- Bless you!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14There we are. Seven characters from children's TV shows. David.
0:07:14 > 0:07:21Two or three are good and I'm going to play how I feel it as safe.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'm going for Professor Yaffle...
0:07:24 > 0:07:27and Bagpuss.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34Professor Yaffle and Bagpuss, says David. Is it right and, if it is, how many people knew that?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Absolutely right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:4324.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- 24 for Bagpuss. - Well played, David. Created by the wonderful Oliver Postgate.
0:07:51 > 0:07:58- It was just on endlessly in our youth.- I love Bagpuss.- Do you know how many episodes they made?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- 7,020. - They only made 13 episodes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- No!- Yeah, 13 episodes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- Only the 13.- Amazing, isn't it? - Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Graham.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- What do you make of this board? - It's not a good subject for me.
0:08:14 > 0:08:21- It's a long time ago since I was a dad. Em, so I'll have to have a calculated guess.- OK.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Farmer Barleymow.
0:08:23 > 0:08:30- Yeah?- Postman Pat?- Farmer Barleymow, Postman Pat, you're saying. Farmer Barleymow, Postman Pat.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Dear, oh, dear. I don't think you were hopeful there, Heather.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Bad luck, Graham. That's an incorrect answer. Not a bad guess, but incorrect.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You score the maximum 100 points.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- We'll give the correct answer at the end.- Thank you.- Gemma...
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- What do you make of this board? - I know a few from my student days.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- I'm going to go with Laa-Laa from the TeleTubbies. - Laa-Laa from the TeleTubbies.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Absolutely right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Oh! 74!
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Wow.- A correct answer, but it's a big score.
0:09:20 > 0:09:27Most profitable BBC show ever. It made more than Weakest Link, Walking With Dinosaurs AND The Office.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Isn't that amazing?
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- Wow.- Yeah.- Wow. - Sold to over 75 countries.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I say "over 75" - 76.
0:09:38 > 0:09:45- Very good indeed. Now then, Dave. You're last with this board.- Being a postman, I know Jess the Cat!
0:09:45 > 0:09:52- Yeah.- I think Farmer Barleymow is Bod, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I think I shall go for Farmer Barleymow and Bod.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Farmer Barleymow, Bod. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Absolutely right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:145!
0:10:14 > 0:10:20Best score of the round so far. Very well done.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27- Very well done. The best answer up there. Do you remember Bod? - Yeah! John Le Mesurier.
0:10:27 > 0:10:34- That's right. He was the narrator. Do you know how many episodes they made of Bod?- 7,020.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- 13 again.- No! Again?- Just 13. It seemed like hundreds.- Yeah!
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Let's go through the rest. Jess the Cat is Postman Pat. 67 points. Do you know Pikachu?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- No.- Pikachu was one of the Pokemon. Pokemon would have scored 33.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54My son the other day has got a poster with 494 Pokemon on.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58He's looking at. I said, "What are you doing?" "Trying to name them."
0:10:58 > 0:11:01He says, "I have forgotten four."
0:11:01 > 0:11:04He got 490. I wouldn't mind, but he's 23.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13- Cut-Throat Jake?- Captain Pugwash? - Absolutely right. That would have scored you 17 points. And Skeletor?
0:11:13 > 0:11:19- He-Man?- He-Man is right. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I would have given you He-Man.
0:11:19 > 0:11:2539 points for Skeletor. So Bod was the best answer on that board. Very well done if you got Bod.
0:11:25 > 0:11:33Very good indeed. Let's take a look at the scores. Well done to Dave and Steve. A lovely score of 5 there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Then we come up to 24, David and Katie, looking very strong, too.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Up to 74 - a little bit less strong, but relatively safe, Gemma and Lee.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Then up to 100, Graham and Heather. So, Heather, we need a very, very good low-scoring answer from you
0:11:48 > 0:11:55and hope that's enough. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:55 > 0:12:00OK, we're going to put seven more characters on the board.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02HE READS THE LIST
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'll read those one last time.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25We're looking for the TV series in which they first appeared and the one the fewest people knew. Steve.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Five, look at that. Lovely low score. Heather and Graham on 100,
0:12:30 > 0:12:36- so a score of 94 or less will keep you in the game. - There's three I think I know.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I'm going to go for Timothy Claypole and Rentaghost.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46Rentaghost, says Steve. Here is your red line, nice and high. Get below that and you're through.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48How many people said Rentaghost?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Absolutely right. You're through.
0:12:57 > 0:12:5818.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Good answer. Takes your total up to 23.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- I used to love Rentaghost. - It was great.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- Yeah, loved it.- It was weird, though, looking back.- Probably.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Quite a high concept for the '70s. - I'm not sure I understood it!
0:13:17 > 0:13:23- They ran a ghost rental agency. - Yeah, they sort of spelt out the details in the title song.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- "If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Rentaghost." - Ah, well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33Now then, we come to you, Lee. We're looking for the shows these characters appeared in.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I think I know three definitely, maybe four.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- I do think that Barney McGrew is from Trumpton, so I'll go for that. - Trumpton.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Is that right and how many said it? The high scorers remain on 100.
0:13:47 > 0:13:5225 or less will see you through to the next round for sure.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56How many people said Trumpton? Is it right?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Absolutely right.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0432!
0:14:04 > 0:14:0632.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Take you up to 106.
0:14:08 > 0:14:15Yeah, that keeps the round alive. He's the only fireman to get a full namecheck in the roll call.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- He was the driver, of course.- Of course.- Don't need to tell you that. - No, no, no.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Now then, Heather. You've been thrown a lifeline by Lee, but not a massive one.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31You have a margin of error of five points. They are on 106.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35If you can score 5 or less, it'll save your bacon.
0:14:35 > 0:14:42I only know a couple and I think they're quite popular. It's a long time since I was a little girl.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- I'll go for Great Uncle Bulgaria, The Wombles. - The Wombles says Heather.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many said it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:5678!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Ooh, that's high. Bad luck. 178 is your total.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Richard?- Sorry, Heather. A big score for the Wombles.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Who was your favourite Womble? - Er...Orinoco. Or Bungle.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Bungle?!- Bungo?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Oh, Bungo. Bungo?- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Bungo the Womble? - Yeah, Bungo.- OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- You're sticking with that answer? - Er, Madame Cholet. She was a... - A what?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28A hottie.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Boy, could that Womble cook!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Shall we get on with the quiz?- Yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Now then, Katie, great news. You're through to the next round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44You can't overtake Heather and Graham's high score of 178.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49We want you to name the TV programmes in which these characters first appeared.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Take us through it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Zippy is definitely from Rainbow.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Pootle, I...
0:15:58 > 0:16:04No, I don't know. It's somewhere at the back of my mind. The Soup Dragon is from The Clangers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And Nok Tok sounds like one of those ones that's been dubbed
0:16:08 > 0:16:14- by some British voiceover actor... - Probably me.- A comedian, yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17So I don't know what that one is.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Oh, let's say The Soup Dragon from The Clangers.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26The Soup Dragon, The Clangers. Is that right? How many said it?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Absolutely right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:3529.
0:16:36 > 0:16:3929 takes your total up to 53.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45- Another Oliver Postgate. - Absolutely right.- Beautiful.
0:16:45 > 0:16:52He was a genius. A lot of nostalgia for us, but anyone under 20 is going, "What on earth is going on?!
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- "What are these men talking about?" Let's have a look at the rest. Zippy?- Yes, Rainbow.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Absolutely right, Katie. It would have scored 72. Pootle?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- You know the name if... She's from The Flumps.- Ah!
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Ah, The Flumps. Do you know how many episodes there were?- 7,020.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Thirteen. - LAUGHTER
0:17:15 > 0:17:21- That would have scored 7 points. And Nok Tok is the best answer. - Waybuloo.- Absolutely right.
0:17:21 > 0:17:28From round about these days. One point if you said that. It makes up for having to sit through it!
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- It's nice, Waybuloo.- I like it. It's very soporific. You can sort of...
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- It's quite sort of psychotropic. You can...- Like this show.
0:17:37 > 0:17:44- Helps you fall asleep.- Yeah, exactly. End of Round One. Let's see who our highest-scoring pair is.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50I'm afraid, Heather and Graham, it's you. 178. There's no running away from that.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- It wasn't a great round for you. - Not really. It was a long time ago.
0:17:55 > 0:18:02Lovely to have you on the show. We look forward to seeing you again next time. Thanks so much meanwhile.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Heather and Graham!- Thank you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Sadly, at the end of this round another pair will leave us.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22We'll have two pairs for the Head To Head. But that round was quite widely split with all the points.
0:18:22 > 0:18:29- Katie and David are now in virgin territory. How's it looking? - I feel quite emotional.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35- It's amazing! - Up here in the rarefied air of Round Two. Very exciting.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41Dave and Steve, very much our best performers on that last round. How are you feeling?
0:18:41 > 0:18:47- Quite surprised, actually.- Nice to have you here. Normally you finish your round and go down the pub.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Nice one!
0:18:50 > 0:18:57Very good indeed. Dave and Steve, the pair to beat. Our category for Round Two today is...Europe.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Europe. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:19:12 > 0:19:18to name as many Italian cities and towns as they could. Italian cities and towns. Richard?
0:19:18 > 0:19:24We're looking for the name of any Italian town or city that is a capital of one of the 110 provinces.
0:19:24 > 0:19:31Essentially, most of the big Italian cities and towns, going by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, May 2012.
0:19:31 > 0:19:38- We'll accept the English or Italian name. Very best of luck. - Thanks, Richard. Now then, David.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Amalfi. - Amalfi.- Correct.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Amalfi says David. Is that right and, if it is, how many people said Amalfi?
0:19:53 > 0:20:00Bad luck, David. I'm afraid that's incorrect, so you score the maximum 100 points.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Yes, sorry, David. Too obscure. It's not the capital of a province.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08OK, Gemma.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Gemma...
0:20:10 > 0:20:17- What are you thinking? - Geography, not my strong point. - Have you been to Italy?- We have.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22We travelled around after university, so I do remember a few. I'll go with Verona.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Verona, says Gemma. Is that right and, if it is, how many said it?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Lovely.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Down it goes... Nine!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Nine for Verona.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Yeah, Verona. Very good answer. Capital of the Verona province.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52You can get married in Juliet's house in Verona, under the balcony.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- Can you?- I'm not sure that's a particularly...- Yeah. - It didn't end brilliantly, did it?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Not so much.- Like one of the marriages on today's show.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Dave.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Em... I think I'm going to go for...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Pisa.- Pisa.- Yeah.- Pisa.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Pisa.
0:21:25 > 0:21:2713!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29There's a good answer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Well played, David. The capital of Pisa province in Tuscany.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- How about that?- Yeah.- Can I tell you something nice about Pisa? It's where my wife and I got engaged.
0:21:42 > 0:21:50- Aww.- Yeah.- That is nice.- Yeah. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Gemma and Lee, nine. Lovely low score. Then 13 with Dave and Steve.
0:21:55 > 0:22:02You see, your intention was exactly right. You just went too pointless. You went too out there.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Amalfi.- I thought I was playing so safe.- It was a brilliant answer. Sadly, it was just too clever.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13It scored you 100 points. Katie, you have to hope somebody has a disaster
0:22:13 > 0:22:17and you can then scoop up with a brilliant low-scoring answer.
0:22:17 > 0:22:24We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27OK.
0:22:27 > 0:22:34Steve, we are looking for towns and cities in Italy that are capitals of their provinces.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I think I'm going to have a guess at Genoa.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Genoa says Steve. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Here's your red line. Below that, you're through.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That's right, and you're through.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Six!
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Best score so far, Steve. Very well done. Takes your total up to 19.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Richard?
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Well played, Steve. Safely through. Do you know which province?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Province of Genoa?- It is, yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Come on, Italy, buck up! Really?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Lee, what are you going to give me?
0:23:15 > 0:23:22I've never been to Italy before, but a lot of the items of furniture in the shop where I work
0:23:22 > 0:23:26are named after places in Europe. So I'm going to pick one of those
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- that I think is in Italy, which is Rimini.- Rimini.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36- Rimini. Can you describe a Rimini to me?- It's really good. You should all go buy one.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- What is it?- It's a bed. - A Rimini bed.- Yes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Oh, yeah. Very good. OK, let's see.
0:23:45 > 0:23:52Rimini says Lee. There is your red line. Get below that red line, you are through to the Head To Head.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Is it right? How many said it?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Absolutely right and you are through.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Something tells me this might be a very good answer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yes, it is, Lee!
0:24:05 > 0:24:11One point away from pointless, but that's a cracking answer. Takes your total up to 10.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Richard?- Well done. A wonderful way to get a good answer at Pointless.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19It's an industrial port and holiday resort.
0:24:19 > 0:24:26- And, oh, what a bed!- It's an amazing bed. Do you know what province it's capital of?- Er, Rimini.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Yeah, absolutely. - Now then, Katie,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I have terrible news.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I'm afraid you are already the high scorers even before you answer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:43But maybe there's a pointless answer and you can gift that to the remaining two pairs.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48I don't know if it's... I'm going to say Turin.
0:24:48 > 0:24:55Turin says Katie. Turin. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. No red line.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:0513!
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Would have been a great answer, Katie. Oh, it IS a great answer,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13but sadly not enough to save you. Takes you to 113.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Sorry to see you go, Katie, but as a little bow
0:25:17 > 0:25:23- perhaps you could tell us which province Turin is the capital of? - Turin?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Turin province. Absolutely right. - Very well done, yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:36- That's good.- There are some low-scoring ones. Anyone who said Trieste, Catania, Vicenza, Bergamo,
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Padua, Perugia - all very low scoring. Here are some of the pointless ones for you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Arezzo, Brescia, Brindisi,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Cremona, Livorno, Mantua - all of those pointless.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Salerno, Siracusa and Treviso.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59There's a few more - Como, Messina, Pescara. Very well done if you got one.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Good. Thank you very much, Richard. We're at the end of Round Two and our high-scoring pair
0:26:04 > 0:26:07is Katie and David.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Oh, dear. The air was just too rarefied for you
0:26:11 > 0:26:16here in Round Two. No, you did valiantly.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22You were trying to find a really obscure answer and it was so obscure it wasn't recognised by Italy.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- That's geography for you.- Yeah.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Anyway, it's been brilliant having you on the show. Such a great waste to be saying goodbye so soon,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33but thank you so much for playing.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40But for the remaining two pairs it gets even more exciting as we enter the Head To Head.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Well, congratulations, Dave and Steve, Lee and Gemma. You're one round from the final
0:26:50 > 0:26:55and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £7,000!
0:26:58 > 0:27:03You're now going to go head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions plays for that jackpot.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08The great news is, from here on in, you are allowed to confer.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12So, Lee and Gemma, back in the Head To Head. How does it feel?
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Hopefully it will go better today. - Confident?- Ish, yeah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:23- Any advice for our newbies here? - What you should do is try to get less points than we do.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Dave and Steve, you made easy work of that.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- We just fell lucky with the categories.- Really? Really?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37You're our lowest scorers.
0:27:37 > 0:27:44Anything could happen. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head To Head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...ballet dancers.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- There we are. Ballet dancers. Richard?- Dave, when you said darts I thought you said dance.
0:28:00 > 0:28:07We have five pictures of famous ballet dancers. Can you identify them and pick the most obscure?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12OK, let's reveal our five ballet dancers. We have got...
0:28:29 > 0:28:33So there we are. Five ballet dancers.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Dave and Steve, you get to go first.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I know A.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Eh, we'll have to go for A, Nureyev.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50Nureyev. Nureyev, say Dave and Steve.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Lee and Gemma, you can talk through the board if you like.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55We can't!
0:28:55 > 0:29:02We only know one ballet dancer by name and we think it's D, Darcey Bussell.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Darcey Bussell. Terrible heartburn she's got there.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14OK, so Darcey Bussell. We have Nureyev and we have Darcey Bussell.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18In the order they were given, let's see if Nureyev is right and how many said it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Absolutely right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:2728.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36Gemma, what do you reckon? 28 for Nureyev.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Is Bussell going to go lower or higher?- Higher. Way higher.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Darcey Bussell. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49It's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Oh, look at that! 27!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Wow!
0:29:59 > 0:30:0627 for Darcey Bussell, which means after one question Lee and Gemma are ahead one-nil.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Very close. Darcey Bussell now a Strictly Come Dancing judge.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16B is a pointless answer. That's Ninette de Valois.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Very well done if you said that. There you go, pointless.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24C is Rudolf Nureyev's principal partner, Margot Fonteyn.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26She scored 13 points.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And E is Anna Pavlova.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Mm, Anna Pavlova. She'd have scored 2 points.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Very well done if you got all five, Ninette de Valois especially.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Now here comes your second question and it concerns...Roald Dahl.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Roald Dahl.
0:30:46 > 0:30:53We're going to show you five clues to facts about Roald Dahl. Can you answer one of these, please?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Roald Dahl.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00HE READS THE LIST
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40There we are. Five clues to facts about Roald Dahl. Lee and Gemma,
0:31:40 > 0:31:46- it's your turn to go first this time.- Well, we know one, which is a good start.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- His granddaughter, we think, is called Sophie.- Sophie.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54The granddaughter after whom the heroine in The BFG is named.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Dave and Steve, you have to win this one to stay in the game.- OK.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- Talk us through the board. - That was the only one we knew.- OK.
0:32:03 > 0:32:10The adult short stories. I mean... I know he wrote some of Tales of the Unexpected,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- but I don't know if that would be the series.- It's about the era.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21I think because Tales of the Unexpected was by various authors we'll have to go for the Bond.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I'll go for Dr No.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Dr No you're saying. So we have Sophie and Dr No.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Lee and Gemma, you said Sophie was the name of his granddaughter.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Is that right and how many said it?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Absolutely right.
0:32:42 > 0:32:4343.
0:32:46 > 0:32:5343. Now then, Dave and Steve, you've said he wrote the screenplay for Dr No.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58You have to win. You have to be right and below 43 to stay in the game.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Is that right and how many said it?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Bad luck, Dave and Steve. That's an incorrect answer,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15so Lee and Gemma are through to the final. Very well done.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20A typical twist in the tail - it WAS Tales of the Unexpected.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26He wrote several volumes of those and he even introduced them himself onscreen.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29It would have scored 15 points and won.
0:33:29 > 0:33:35Sorry, guys. Dr No was from 1962. It's the 50th anniversary of that in 2012.
0:33:35 > 0:33:41And the screenplay he wrote was a pointless answer. Well done if you said You Only Live Twice.
0:33:43 > 0:33:50- The branch of the armed forces? - Air Force.- Absolutely. It would have scored 17.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55And the actress he married? She won an Oscar in 1963. Patricia Neal.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00- It would have scored 7 points. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So the losing pair, I'm afraid, Dave and Steve is you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12Can't fault your ballet dancing knowledge. Wonderful. Nureyev - lovely low score.
0:34:12 > 0:34:19And they beat you by just one. You were so nearly... I was going, "Say Tales of the Unexpected!"
0:34:19 > 0:34:24I'd no idea which screenplay it was, so Dr No seemed reasonable enough.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30But a great performance. What are your tips for next time? Anything you've learnt?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Play better.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- Go with your gut, I think. - Yeah, yeah. Trust your instinct.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Quite right. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for playing.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49But for Lee and Gemma it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:51 > 0:34:59Congratulations, Lee and Gemma. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:05 > 0:35:12You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show it stands at £7,000.
0:35:16 > 0:35:24This is an exemplary performance. You have covered yourselves in glory and made the Head To Head twice.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29And you've now gone one better and find yourselves the proud holders of the Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- Very well done indeed. How are you feeling?- Good.- Apprehensive!- Yeah?
0:35:34 > 0:35:41- Victorious!- A two-nil sweep, a clean sweep in the Head To Head. - It makes up for the last time.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46I'd say it's all looking pretty good. The rules are very simple.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50All you have to do is find a pointless answer. Find one now
0:35:50 > 0:35:53and you'll leave with that £7,000.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58First, you choose a category from these five options. They are...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00HE READS THE LIST
0:36:06 > 0:36:13- I think we'll go for Father/Son Actors.- Father/Son Actors. Let's see what the question is.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:16 > 0:36:22as many Donald and Kiefer Sutherland films as they could. Richard?
0:36:22 > 0:36:28Any feature film for cinema release for which either Donald or Kiefer Sutherland had an acting credit
0:36:28 > 0:36:31prior to the beginning of 2012.
0:36:31 > 0:36:38- No short films, TV films or documentaries, but voice performances do count.- OK, thanks.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- All you need is for just one answer to be pointless. Ready?- Yes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- You're better at films than me. - Kiefer, think of all his '80s films.
0:36:56 > 0:37:03- We've got Flatliners. Donald is definitely in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.- OK.- So go with that one.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- Good one.- Kiefer, Kiefer... He's been in some dodgy films.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Is 24: Redemption for the cinema? - No, not yet.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Mind's gone blank! - It's gone blank, yeah.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21Donald Sutherland again is in some new movies, but people are going to know those.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28- Kiefer... So we have Flatliners, he was in Young Guns 2. - That was a good one.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Er...any others? '80s films?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Maybe try...St Elmo's Fire? He was in the Brat Pack.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43- So St Elmo's Fire, Young Guns 2... - And Buffy The Vampire Slayer. - 10 seconds left.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- We don't want Flatliners. - OK, no Flatliners.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Young Guns 2...- St Elmo's Fire.
0:37:50 > 0:37:56- OK.- OK? There's your time. We were looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.
0:37:56 > 0:38:04- I now need your three answers. - OK, we think we're going to go for Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Buffy The Vampire Slayer. - St Elmo's Fire.- St Elmo's Fire.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- And Young Guns 2.- Young Guns 2.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- Which is your best shot at a pointless?- What do you think?- Buffy.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- We'll say Buffy.- OK, Buffy The Vampire Slayer we'll put last.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25- Which is your least likely pointless answer?- St Elmo's Fire. - No, Young Guns 2.- Young Guns 2.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30We'll put that one first. Let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:30 > 0:38:36We've got Young Guns 2, St Elmo's Fire and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41We're looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films. Your first answer is Young Guns 2.
0:38:41 > 0:38:47That's your least confident shot, but you only need one pointless answer to win that £7,000.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Let's see. Young Guns 2. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Yep, it's right.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01This just has to go down to zero and you will leave here with £7,000.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Still going down. Young Guns 2 into single figures...!
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Still going down... Oh! Three!
0:39:07 > 0:39:10I can't believe it!
0:39:11 > 0:39:15That's really not a bad answer at all.
0:39:15 > 0:39:21Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. You have two more chances to win today's jackpot. £7,000.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27- Gemma, what would you do with £7,000?- They've just opened an Angry Birds theme park in Finland,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- so we'd quite like to go there. - Lee, anything else?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Something exciting. Our garden needs a new fence and a shed.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Think of the fun you can have browsing shed and fence catalogues.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Fantastic. OK. Very best of luck. Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Let's hope nobody said your next answer, St Elmo's Fire.
0:39:47 > 0:39:55This has to be pointless for you to win. So, for £7,000, how many people said St Elmo's Fire?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Oh!
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Oh, bad luck. An incorrect answer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09That means everything is now riding on Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14Only one more chance to win the jackpot. We're looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:27Let's see. To win £7,000, it has to be pointless. How many people said Buffy The Vampire Slayer?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Young Guns 2 took us down to three.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35St Elmo's Fire was a red herring,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39but Buffy The Vampire Slayer is still going down.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Down it goes. Oh!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Oh, no! One!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48One!
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Oh, bad luck. Bad luck. That was a great answer.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59You were right to put it last.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:03 > 0:41:09but you still get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:41:13 > 0:41:19- So, Richard... - Yeah, unlucky. St Elmo's Fire was Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24No Kiefer Sutherland, I'm afraid. Flatliners would have scored six.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29The biggest score of all was for The Lost Boys.
0:41:29 > 0:41:36Very low scores for MASH, A Few Good Men, Cold Mountain, Don't Look Now. Stand By Me only scored 2 points.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers up here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45A Dry White Season was Donald Sutherland, A Time To Kill - they were both in that.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Donald Sutherland is in Backdraft alongside De Niro and Kurt Russell.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Disclosure, Donald Sutherland with Demi Moore and Michael Douglas.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59Renegades, which is Kiefer Sutherland as an undercover agent.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Donald is in Six Degrees of Separation with Will Smith.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10The Sentinel is Kiefer with Michael Douglas and he was Athos in The Three Musketeers.
0:42:10 > 0:42:18Kiefer Sutherland also in the terrifying The Vanishing with Jeff Bridges. Any of those ring a bell?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22We knew a few, but would never have gone for them.
0:42:22 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Great contestants.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37So, sadly, Gemma and Lee didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41On the next show we will be playing for £8,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
