Episode 11 Pointless

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless

where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.

First up, we welcome back Katie and David. You were on last time.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Katie, remind us how you know each other.

We're married to each other. We've been together for 25 years.

-David, remind us what happened last time.

-I disgraced myself. I let myself down, my wife down,

-my family down.

-Your school down...

-My friends down. I don't know how to spell Slovenia.

-But I do now!

-You do now. You won't forget that. It's "en".

-Thank you.

-Thank you, Xander.

-Katie, what do you hope comes up?

Er, natural history, anything to do with animals, horses,

biology I'm quite good at, I know a bit about anatomy.

-David, are there any you would hate?

-Well, geography.

-Or spelling!

Well, all right, yeah. My mother will be so upset. She's such a good speller.

Anyway, lovely to have you back. Very best of luck. And next we welcome Heather and Graham.

-How do you two know each other?

-We're married.

It's hilarious having to duck round David. There you go! I've got you.

-Where are you from?

-We live in Swansea. Been there for over 30 years, in Wales.

-What do you do, Graham?

-I'm retired now, semi-retired, but I done videography and photography.

-My own little business.

-Excellent.

-Heather, what do you like to get up to in your spare time?

-Oh, lots.

I like cooking and I like knitting, sewing, looking after the grandchild.

-Going to the gym, I help with a weight loss class a couple of times a week.

-Very good.

-How old's your grandchild?

-One of three and one of ten.

-Very good indeed.

-It's nice having people whose names make up a Hollywood star.

-It is.

Anyway, very best of luck and a warm welcome to the show.

Next we welcome back Lee and Gemma. You were on last time.

-Remind us how you know each other.

-We've been married for 18 months now.

-Gemma, what happened last time?

-We did well, got to the Head To Head and then it all went wrong.

-Carrickfergus!

-But they were from Northern Ireland! They knew.

-Unfair advantage.

-It must have been a fix.

-What do you hope comes up today?

-Jake Gyllenhaal films, please.

-OK, good.

-Can you sort that?

-Thanks, Richard.

-We've done Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal films.

-Can we just sort out how you say his name?

-I call him Jake.

-That'll do.

-Big Jake.

-Yeah, Jakey.

-Anything you'd hate to see, Gemma?

-Politics, history...

-Yep.

-..sport.

-Ok, just those things, yep(!)

-Just those.

-Small, trifling matters. Anyway, very best of luck to you.

-Lovely to have you back. And finally we've got Dave and Steve. How do you know each other?

-Work colleagues.

-And what do you do?

-We're both postmen.

Perfect. On the same... Of course not on the same route! What kind of question's that?!

-But similar routes?

-In the same town.

-The same town.

-Dave, what are you hoping for?

-I'd love sport.

-Particular areas or do you cover across the board?

A broad range. I like darts, I love cricket, football.

Running, which I still try and do a bit. In-between work.

-Well, very best of luck to you. Great to have you.

-Thank you.

We'll find out more throughout the show.

Only one person left. The man the speaking clock rings to get the time. My Pointless friend, Richard.

Hiya.

Hello!

-It's about 5:18 and 34 seconds.

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you.

-It might be when it goes out.

Yeah. They can time it from that. They'll have to cut out all of that chat there, but no bad thing.

It's 5:16 and 8 seconds.

We've got three married couples today. That doesn't happen often.

Statistically, 33% of marriages in this country end in divorce.

Statistically. So all I'm saying is just keep your eye on the three married couples. Have a bet at home.

-A little side bet.

-It's going to be one of them. Round One today I think everyone will enjoy.

All our questions were put to 100 people before the show. For a chance to get through to the final round,

our contestants have to find the obscure answers the 100 didn't get.

The fewer of the 100 people who knew, the fewer you'll score.

Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 people said.

Do that and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time so we add £1,000

and today's jackpot starts off at £7,000!

Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.

Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

Our first category today is... Children's TV!

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?

And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

OK, the question concerns... characters from children's TV shows.

Characters from children's TV shows. Richard?

We'll show you seven characters from children's TV shows. Name the series where they first appeared.

A nice obscure answer gets fewer points. An incorrect answer is 100.

Seven on each pass, 14 in all to have a go a at home.

Thank you very much, Richard. You all drew lots and Katie and David, you get to go first.

We're looking for the shows in which these children's characters originally appeared.

HE READS THE LIST

-Pikachu...

-Bless you!

I'll read those all one last time.

There we are. Seven characters from children's TV shows. David.

Two or three are good and I'm going to play how I feel it as safe.

I'm going for Professor Yaffle...

and Bagpuss.

Professor Yaffle and Bagpuss, says David. Is it right and, if it is, how many people knew that?

Absolutely right.

24.

-24 for Bagpuss.

-Well played, David. Created by the wonderful Oliver Postgate.

-It was just on endlessly in our youth.

-I love Bagpuss.

-Do you know how many episodes they made?

-7,020.

-They only made 13 episodes.

-No!

-Yeah, 13 episodes.

-Only the 13.

-Amazing, isn't it?

-Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Graham.

-What do you make of this board?

-It's not a good subject for me.

-It's a long time ago since I was a dad. Em, so I'll have to have a calculated guess.

-OK.

Farmer Barleymow.

-Yeah?

-Postman Pat?

-Farmer Barleymow, Postman Pat, you're saying. Farmer Barleymow, Postman Pat.

Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.

Dear, oh, dear. I don't think you were hopeful there, Heather.

Bad luck, Graham. That's an incorrect answer. Not a bad guess, but incorrect.

You score the maximum 100 points.

-We'll give the correct answer at the end.

-Thank you.

-Gemma...

-What do you make of this board?

-I know a few from my student days.

-I'm going to go with Laa-Laa from the TeleTubbies.

-Laa-Laa from the TeleTubbies.

Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.

Absolutely right.

Oh! 74!

-Wow.

-A correct answer, but it's a big score.

Most profitable BBC show ever. It made more than Weakest Link, Walking With Dinosaurs AND The Office.

Isn't that amazing?

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-Wow.

-Sold to over 75 countries.

I say "over 75" - 76.

-Very good indeed. Now then, Dave. You're last with this board.

-Being a postman, I know Jess the Cat!

-Yeah.

-I think Farmer Barleymow is Bod, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think I shall go for Farmer Barleymow and Bod.

Farmer Barleymow, Bod. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.

Absolutely right.

5!

Best score of the round so far. Very well done.

-Very well done. The best answer up there. Do you remember Bod?

-Yeah! John Le Mesurier.

-That's right. He was the narrator. Do you know how many episodes they made of Bod?

-7,020.

-13 again.

-No! Again?

-Just 13. It seemed like hundreds.

-Yeah!

Let's go through the rest. Jess the Cat is Postman Pat. 67 points. Do you know Pikachu?

-No.

-Pikachu was one of the Pokemon. Pokemon would have scored 33.

My son the other day has got a poster with 494 Pokemon on.

He's looking at. I said, "What are you doing?" "Trying to name them."

He says, "I have forgotten four."

He got 490. I wouldn't mind, but he's 23.

-Cut-Throat Jake?

-Captain Pugwash?

-Absolutely right. That would have scored you 17 points. And Skeletor?

-He-Man?

-He-Man is right. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I would have given you He-Man.

39 points for Skeletor. So Bod was the best answer on that board. Very well done if you got Bod.

Very good indeed. Let's take a look at the scores. Well done to Dave and Steve. A lovely score of 5 there.

Then we come up to 24, David and Katie, looking very strong, too.

Up to 74 - a little bit less strong, but relatively safe, Gemma and Lee.

Then up to 100, Graham and Heather. So, Heather, we need a very, very good low-scoring answer from you

and hope that's enough. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, we're going to put seven more characters on the board.

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those one last time.

We're looking for the TV series in which they first appeared and the one the fewest people knew. Steve.

Five, look at that. Lovely low score. Heather and Graham on 100,

-so a score of 94 or less will keep you in the game.

-There's three I think I know.

I'm going to go for Timothy Claypole and Rentaghost.

Rentaghost, says Steve. Here is your red line, nice and high. Get below that and you're through.

How many people said Rentaghost?

Absolutely right. You're through.

18.

Good answer. Takes your total up to 23.

-I used to love Rentaghost.

-It was great.

-Yeah, loved it.

-It was weird, though, looking back.

-Probably.

-Quite a high concept for the '70s.

-I'm not sure I understood it!

-They ran a ghost rental agency.

-Yeah, they sort of spelt out the details in the title song.

-"If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Rentaghost."

-Ah, well.

Now then, we come to you, Lee. We're looking for the shows these characters appeared in.

I think I know three definitely, maybe four.

-I do think that Barney McGrew is from Trumpton, so I'll go for that.

-Trumpton.

Is that right and how many said it? The high scorers remain on 100.

25 or less will see you through to the next round for sure.

How many people said Trumpton? Is it right?

Absolutely right.

32!

32.

Take you up to 106.

Yeah, that keeps the round alive. He's the only fireman to get a full namecheck in the roll call.

-He was the driver, of course.

-Of course.

-Don't need to tell you that.

-No, no, no.

Now then, Heather. You've been thrown a lifeline by Lee, but not a massive one.

You have a margin of error of five points. They are on 106.

If you can score 5 or less, it'll save your bacon.

I only know a couple and I think they're quite popular. It's a long time since I was a little girl.

-I'll go for Great Uncle Bulgaria, The Wombles.

-The Wombles says Heather.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many said it.

It's right.

78!

Ooh, that's high. Bad luck. 178 is your total.

-Richard?

-Sorry, Heather. A big score for the Wombles.

-Who was your favourite Womble?

-Er...Orinoco. Or Bungle.

-Bungle?!

-Bungo?

-Oh, Bungo. Bungo?

-Yeah.

-Bungo the Womble?

-Yeah, Bungo.

-OK.

-You're sticking with that answer?

-Er, Madame Cholet. She was a...

-A what?

A hottie.

Boy, could that Womble cook!

-Shall we get on with the quiz?

-Yeah.

Now then, Katie, great news. You're through to the next round.

You can't overtake Heather and Graham's high score of 178.

We want you to name the TV programmes in which these characters first appeared.

Take us through it.

Zippy is definitely from Rainbow.

Pootle, I...

No, I don't know. It's somewhere at the back of my mind. The Soup Dragon is from The Clangers.

And Nok Tok sounds like one of those ones that's been dubbed

-by some British voiceover actor...

-Probably me.

-A comedian, yeah.

So I don't know what that one is.

Oh, let's say The Soup Dragon from The Clangers.

The Soup Dragon, The Clangers. Is that right? How many said it?

Absolutely right.

29.

29 takes your total up to 53.

-Another Oliver Postgate.

-Absolutely right.

-Beautiful.

He was a genius. A lot of nostalgia for us, but anyone under 20 is going, "What on earth is going on?!

-"What are these men talking about?" Let's have a look at the rest. Zippy?

-Yes, Rainbow.

Absolutely right, Katie. It would have scored 72. Pootle?

-You know the name if... She's from The Flumps.

-Ah!

-Ah, The Flumps. Do you know how many episodes there were?

-7,020.

-Thirteen.

-LAUGHTER

-That would have scored 7 points. And Nok Tok is the best answer.

-Waybuloo.

-Absolutely right.

From round about these days. One point if you said that. It makes up for having to sit through it!

-It's nice, Waybuloo.

-I like it. It's very soporific. You can sort of...

-It's quite sort of psychotropic. You can...

-Like this show.

-Helps you fall asleep.

-Yeah, exactly. End of Round One. Let's see who our highest-scoring pair is.

I'm afraid, Heather and Graham, it's you. 178. There's no running away from that.

-It wasn't a great round for you.

-Not really. It was a long time ago.

Lovely to have you on the show. We look forward to seeing you again next time. Thanks so much meanwhile.

-Heather and Graham!

-Thank you.

But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.

Sadly, at the end of this round another pair will leave us.

We'll have two pairs for the Head To Head. But that round was quite widely split with all the points.

-Katie and David are now in virgin territory. How's it looking?

-I feel quite emotional.

-It's amazing!

-Up here in the rarefied air of Round Two. Very exciting.

Dave and Steve, very much our best performers on that last round. How are you feeling?

-Quite surprised, actually.

-Nice to have you here. Normally you finish your round and go down the pub.

Nice one!

Very good indeed. Dave and Steve, the pair to beat. Our category for Round Two today is...Europe.

Europe. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?

Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Italian cities and towns as they could. Italian cities and towns. Richard?

We're looking for the name of any Italian town or city that is a capital of one of the 110 provinces.

Essentially, most of the big Italian cities and towns, going by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, May 2012.

-We'll accept the English or Italian name. Very best of luck.

-Thanks, Richard. Now then, David.

-Amalfi.

-Amalfi.

-Correct.

Amalfi says David. Is that right and, if it is, how many people said Amalfi?

Bad luck, David. I'm afraid that's incorrect, so you score the maximum 100 points.

Yes, sorry, David. Too obscure. It's not the capital of a province.

OK, Gemma.

Gemma...

-What are you thinking?

-Geography, not my strong point.

-Have you been to Italy?

-We have.

We travelled around after university, so I do remember a few. I'll go with Verona.

Verona, says Gemma. Is that right and, if it is, how many said it?

Lovely.

Down it goes... Nine!

Nine for Verona.

Yeah, Verona. Very good answer. Capital of the Verona province.

You can get married in Juliet's house in Verona, under the balcony.

-Can you?

-I'm not sure that's a particularly...

-Yeah.

-It didn't end brilliantly, did it?

-Not so much.

-Like one of the marriages on today's show.

Dave.

Em... I think I'm going to go for...

-Pisa.

-Pisa.

-Yeah.

-Pisa.

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Pisa.

13!

There's a good answer.

Well played, David. The capital of Pisa province in Tuscany.

-How about that?

-Yeah.

-Can I tell you something nice about Pisa? It's where my wife and I got engaged.

-Aww.

-Yeah.

-That is nice.

-Yeah. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

Gemma and Lee, nine. Lovely low score. Then 13 with Dave and Steve.

You see, your intention was exactly right. You just went too pointless. You went too out there.

-Amalfi.

-I thought I was playing so safe.

-It was a brilliant answer. Sadly, it was just too clever.

It scored you 100 points. Katie, you have to hope somebody has a disaster

and you can then scoop up with a brilliant low-scoring answer.

We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK.

Steve, we are looking for towns and cities in Italy that are capitals of their provinces.

I think I'm going to have a guess at Genoa.

Genoa says Steve. Is it right and how many people said it?

Here's your red line. Below that, you're through.

That's right, and you're through.

Six!

Best score so far, Steve. Very well done. Takes your total up to 19.

Richard?

Well played, Steve. Safely through. Do you know which province?

-Province of Genoa?

-It is, yeah.

Come on, Italy, buck up! Really?

Lee, what are you going to give me?

I've never been to Italy before, but a lot of the items of furniture in the shop where I work

are named after places in Europe. So I'm going to pick one of those

-that I think is in Italy, which is Rimini.

-Rimini.

-Rimini. Can you describe a Rimini to me?

-It's really good. You should all go buy one.

-What is it?

-It's a bed.

-A Rimini bed.

-Yes.

Oh, yeah. Very good. OK, let's see.

Rimini says Lee. There is your red line. Get below that red line, you are through to the Head To Head.

Is it right? How many said it?

Absolutely right and you are through.

Something tells me this might be a very good answer.

Yes, it is, Lee!

One point away from pointless, but that's a cracking answer. Takes your total up to 10.

-Richard?

-Well done. A wonderful way to get a good answer at Pointless.

It's an industrial port and holiday resort.

-And, oh, what a bed!

-It's an amazing bed. Do you know what province it's capital of?

-Er, Rimini.

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Now then, Katie,

I have terrible news.

I'm afraid you are already the high scorers even before you answer.

But maybe there's a pointless answer and you can gift that to the remaining two pairs.

I don't know if it's... I'm going to say Turin.

Turin says Katie. Turin. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. No red line.

It's right.

13!

Would have been a great answer, Katie. Oh, it IS a great answer,

but sadly not enough to save you. Takes you to 113.

Sorry to see you go, Katie, but as a little bow

-perhaps you could tell us which province Turin is the capital of?

-Turin?

-Turin province. Absolutely right.

-Very well done, yeah.

-That's good.

-There are some low-scoring ones. Anyone who said Trieste, Catania, Vicenza, Bergamo,

Padua, Perugia - all very low scoring. Here are some of the pointless ones for you.

Arezzo, Brescia, Brindisi,

Cremona, Livorno, Mantua - all of those pointless.

Salerno, Siracusa and Treviso.

There's a few more - Como, Messina, Pescara. Very well done if you got one.

Good. Thank you very much, Richard. We're at the end of Round Two and our high-scoring pair

is Katie and David.

Oh, dear. The air was just too rarefied for you

here in Round Two. No, you did valiantly.

You were trying to find a really obscure answer and it was so obscure it wasn't recognised by Italy.

-That's geography for you.

-Yeah.

Anyway, it's been brilliant having you on the show. Such a great waste to be saying goodbye so soon,

but thank you so much for playing.

But for the remaining two pairs it gets even more exciting as we enter the Head To Head.

Well, congratulations, Dave and Steve, Lee and Gemma. You're one round from the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £7,000!

You're now going to go head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions plays for that jackpot.

The great news is, from here on in, you are allowed to confer.

So, Lee and Gemma, back in the Head To Head. How does it feel?

-Hopefully it will go better today.

-Confident?

-Ish, yeah.

-Any advice for our newbies here?

-What you should do is try to get less points than we do.

Dave and Steve, you made easy work of that.

-We just fell lucky with the categories.

-Really? Really?

You're our lowest scorers.

Anything could happen. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head To Head.

OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...ballet dancers.

-There we are. Ballet dancers. Richard?

-Dave, when you said darts I thought you said dance.

We have five pictures of famous ballet dancers. Can you identify them and pick the most obscure?

OK, let's reveal our five ballet dancers. We have got...

So there we are. Five ballet dancers.

Dave and Steve, you get to go first.

I know A.

Eh, we'll have to go for A, Nureyev.

Nureyev. Nureyev, say Dave and Steve.

Lee and Gemma, you can talk through the board if you like.

We can't!

We only know one ballet dancer by name and we think it's D, Darcey Bussell.

Darcey Bussell. Terrible heartburn she's got there.

OK, so Darcey Bussell. We have Nureyev and we have Darcey Bussell.

In the order they were given, let's see if Nureyev is right and how many said it.

Absolutely right.

28.

Gemma, what do you reckon? 28 for Nureyev.

-Is Bussell going to go lower or higher?

-Higher. Way higher.

Darcey Bussell. Is it right and how many people said it?

It's right.

Oh, look at that! 27!

Wow!

27 for Darcey Bussell, which means after one question Lee and Gemma are ahead one-nil.

Very close. Darcey Bussell now a Strictly Come Dancing judge.

B is a pointless answer. That's Ninette de Valois.

Very well done if you said that. There you go, pointless.

C is Rudolf Nureyev's principal partner, Margot Fonteyn.

She scored 13 points.

And E is Anna Pavlova.

Mm, Anna Pavlova. She'd have scored 2 points.

Very well done if you got all five, Ninette de Valois especially.

Now here comes your second question and it concerns...Roald Dahl.

Roald Dahl.

We're going to show you five clues to facts about Roald Dahl. Can you answer one of these, please?

OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Roald Dahl.

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those all one last time.

There we are. Five clues to facts about Roald Dahl. Lee and Gemma,

-it's your turn to go first this time.

-Well, we know one, which is a good start.

-His granddaughter, we think, is called Sophie.

-Sophie.

The granddaughter after whom the heroine in The BFG is named.

-Dave and Steve, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

-OK.

-Talk us through the board.

-That was the only one we knew.

-OK.

The adult short stories. I mean... I know he wrote some of Tales of the Unexpected,

-but I don't know if that would be the series.

-It's about the era.

I think because Tales of the Unexpected was by various authors we'll have to go for the Bond.

I'll go for Dr No.

Dr No you're saying. So we have Sophie and Dr No.

Lee and Gemma, you said Sophie was the name of his granddaughter.

Is that right and how many said it?

Absolutely right.

43.

43. Now then, Dave and Steve, you've said he wrote the screenplay for Dr No.

You have to win. You have to be right and below 43 to stay in the game.

Is that right and how many said it?

Bad luck, Dave and Steve. That's an incorrect answer,

so Lee and Gemma are through to the final. Very well done.

A typical twist in the tail - it WAS Tales of the Unexpected.

He wrote several volumes of those and he even introduced them himself onscreen.

It would have scored 15 points and won.

Sorry, guys. Dr No was from 1962. It's the 50th anniversary of that in 2012.

And the screenplay he wrote was a pointless answer. Well done if you said You Only Live Twice.

-The branch of the armed forces?

-Air Force.

-Absolutely. It would have scored 17.

And the actress he married? She won an Oscar in 1963. Patricia Neal.

-It would have scored 7 points.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

So the losing pair, I'm afraid, Dave and Steve is you.

Can't fault your ballet dancing knowledge. Wonderful. Nureyev - lovely low score.

And they beat you by just one. You were so nearly... I was going, "Say Tales of the Unexpected!"

I'd no idea which screenplay it was, so Dr No seemed reasonable enough.

But a great performance. What are your tips for next time? Anything you've learnt?

Play better.

-Go with your gut, I think.

-Yeah, yeah. Trust your instinct.

Quite right. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for playing.

But for Lee and Gemma it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Lee and Gemma. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show it stands at £7,000.

This is an exemplary performance. You have covered yourselves in glory and made the Head To Head twice.

And you've now gone one better and find yourselves the proud holders of the Pointless trophy.

-Very well done indeed. How are you feeling?

-Good.

-Apprehensive!

-Yeah?

-Victorious!

-A two-nil sweep, a clean sweep in the Head To Head.

-It makes up for the last time.

I'd say it's all looking pretty good. The rules are very simple.

All you have to do is find a pointless answer. Find one now

and you'll leave with that £7,000.

First, you choose a category from these five options. They are...

HE READS THE LIST

-I think we'll go for Father/Son Actors.

-Father/Son Actors. Let's see what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

as many Donald and Kiefer Sutherland films as they could. Richard?

Any feature film for cinema release for which either Donald or Kiefer Sutherland had an acting credit

prior to the beginning of 2012.

-No short films, TV films or documentaries, but voice performances do count.

-OK, thanks.

You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

-All you need is for just one answer to be pointless. Ready?

-Yes.

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.

-You're better at films than me.

-Kiefer, think of all his '80s films.

-We've got Flatliners. Donald is definitely in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

-OK.

-So go with that one.

-Good one.

-Kiefer, Kiefer... He's been in some dodgy films.

-Is 24: Redemption for the cinema?

-No, not yet.

-Mind's gone blank!

-It's gone blank, yeah.

Donald Sutherland again is in some new movies, but people are going to know those.

-Kiefer... So we have Flatliners, he was in Young Guns 2.

-That was a good one.

Er...any others? '80s films?

Maybe try...St Elmo's Fire? He was in the Brat Pack.

-So St Elmo's Fire, Young Guns 2...

-And Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

-10 seconds left.

-We don't want Flatliners.

-OK, no Flatliners.

-Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Young Guns 2...

-St Elmo's Fire.

-OK.

-OK? There's your time. We were looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.

-I now need your three answers.

-OK, we think we're going to go for Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

-Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

-St Elmo's Fire.

-St Elmo's Fire.

-And Young Guns 2.

-Young Guns 2.

-Which is your best shot at a pointless?

-What do you think?

-Buffy.

-We'll say Buffy.

-OK, Buffy The Vampire Slayer we'll put last.

-Which is your least likely pointless answer?

-St Elmo's Fire.

-No, Young Guns 2.

-Young Guns 2.

We'll put that one first. Let's put them up on the board in that order.

We've got Young Guns 2, St Elmo's Fire and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

We're looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films. Your first answer is Young Guns 2.

That's your least confident shot, but you only need one pointless answer to win that £7,000.

Let's see. Young Guns 2. Is it right? How many people said it?

Yep, it's right.

This just has to go down to zero and you will leave here with £7,000.

Still going down. Young Guns 2 into single figures...!

Still going down... Oh! Three!

I can't believe it!

That's really not a bad answer at all.

Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. You have two more chances to win today's jackpot. £7,000.

-Gemma, what would you do with £7,000?

-They've just opened an Angry Birds theme park in Finland,

-so we'd quite like to go there.

-Lee, anything else?

Something exciting. Our garden needs a new fence and a shed.

Think of the fun you can have browsing shed and fence catalogues.

Fantastic. OK. Very best of luck. Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.

Let's hope nobody said your next answer, St Elmo's Fire.

This has to be pointless for you to win. So, for £7,000, how many people said St Elmo's Fire?

Oh!

Oh, bad luck. An incorrect answer.

That means everything is now riding on Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Only one more chance to win the jackpot. We're looking for Donald or Kiefer Sutherland films.

This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.

Let's see. To win £7,000, it has to be pointless. How many people said Buffy The Vampire Slayer?

It's right.

Young Guns 2 took us down to three.

St Elmo's Fire was a red herring,

but Buffy The Vampire Slayer is still going down.

Down it goes. Oh!

Oh, no! One!

One!

Oh, bad luck. Bad luck. That was a great answer.

You were right to put it last.

Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,

but you still get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.

-So, Richard...

-Yeah, unlucky. St Elmo's Fire was Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez.

No Kiefer Sutherland, I'm afraid. Flatliners would have scored six.

The biggest score of all was for The Lost Boys.

Very low scores for MASH, A Few Good Men, Cold Mountain, Don't Look Now. Stand By Me only scored 2 points.

Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers up here.

A Dry White Season was Donald Sutherland, A Time To Kill - they were both in that.

Donald Sutherland is in Backdraft alongside De Niro and Kurt Russell.

Disclosure, Donald Sutherland with Demi Moore and Michael Douglas.

Renegades, which is Kiefer Sutherland as an undercover agent.

Donald is in Six Degrees of Separation with Will Smith.

The Sentinel is Kiefer with Michael Douglas and he was Athos in The Three Musketeers.

Kiefer Sutherland also in the terrifying The Vanishing with Jeff Bridges. Any of those ring a bell?

We knew a few, but would never have gone for them.

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you.

Great contestants.

So, sadly, Gemma and Lee didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over.

On the next show we will be playing for £8,000.

-Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
