0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, first up we welcome Louise and Karen.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- How do you know each other? - Mother and daughter.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Mother and daughter. Where are you from, Louise?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Cramlington, in Newcastle. - What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Karen?
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- We go to a spiritualist church. - Do you now?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55What happens in a spiritualist church?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We go to an open circle. There's two or three meetings a week
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and we sit around and we tune in, go into a trance-type state
0:01:01 > 0:01:06and then we see if we can get any messages from the other side.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Are you hoping you'll get some messages while...?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I'm hoping I get lots of words in my ear.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Yeah, I get lots in my ear, certainly.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17OK, well, a very warm welcome to you, Louise and Karen.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Great to have you on the show. Next, we welcome back Dave and Steve.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24This is your second appearance on Pointless. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless Final.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28This is your second chance. Dave, remind us how you know each other.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We work together for the Royal Mail in Kidderminster.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Kidderminster in Worcestershire. Steve, you're neighbours as well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We are. We live two doors away from each other.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Do you spend all your time together?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Not quite.- I wouldn't say so, no.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Steve, what are your hopes for today?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Hopefully something on football comes up or music.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Anything else, Dave, you'd like to see?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Well, I love all sport, I mean, a bit of darts.- Darts.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I play to a terrible standard but...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Richard is very big on his darts, aren't you?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Yeah, I like some darts, yes.- If you fancy a game any time, Richard.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Now?- Yeah.- Would that be all right? You can hold the fort.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Listen, if you two just want to go off and have a quick game, we can...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Could you put that up to 180?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Anyway, a warm welcome back to the show, Dave and Steve.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Next, we welcome back Heather and Graham, who were also on the show last time.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Heather, remind us how you know each other.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21We are married.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23And, Graham, what happened last time?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Well, there wasn't such a thing as television
0:02:25 > 0:02:30when the actual kids were young and it was children's TV programmes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Yes, it was.- So, I didn't have a clue.- Tough category.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Yes, it was.- That was really tough.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Anyway, that was last time, today is a new day.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- What are you hoping is going to come up, Graham?- Sport. Very good at sport.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45That would be good. Heather, anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Geography, because we like to travel
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and we've been lots of places around the world.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So that would be nice. And cookery.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Very best of luck to you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Let's hope we see you go a bit further than you did last time. - Thank you.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Great to have you back on the show.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And, finally, Claire and Rich. How do you two know each other?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- We are engaged. - Oh, congratulations.- Thank you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Thank you very much.- We've had a few engaged couples on the show.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Richard and I are now licensed, of course, to conduct weddings
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and civil ceremonies.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Are you free September next year? - We are free right now.- Let's do it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Not without the dress.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25No, we've both got dresses, that's fine.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29That's fine. That's fine, then.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Claire, what are you hoping will come up today?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'd love anything on reality TV
0:03:32 > 0:03:36so The Only Way Is Essex, Made In Chelsea, The Apprentice.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Very good. Rich, what would you like to see come up?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Sport, really. Football, cricket, anything like that. I don't mind geography as well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Very warm welcome to the show. Lovely to have you here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We'll find out more about you later in the show.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49There is only one person left for me to introduce -
0:03:49 > 0:03:52a man so obscure that the Higgs boson is looking for him.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54LAUGHTER
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hello.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Good afternoon to you. - And to you, sir.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are you well?- Yeah, I'm very well. - Excellent.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Lots of people have asked for sport today, haven't they? In fact, even more specifically, football.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17But we haven't had a sports question for ages, is the truth.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- It's been even longer since we've had a football question.- Yeah, yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Just putting that out there.- OK.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29In order to get to the Final Round and be in with a chance
0:04:29 > 0:04:31of winning our jackpot, our contestants
0:04:31 > 0:04:34need to find the obscure answers those 100 people couldn't get.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you'll score.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40What everyone is trying to do, of course, is find a pointless answer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That's an answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55CHEERING
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:08 > 0:05:10and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Now, in this round we are going to show you a list of things
0:05:16 > 0:05:17which have a common connection.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21All we want you to do is to find the most obscure answer
0:05:21 > 0:05:23that you possibly can.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25OK, our category for Round One is...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's Football. What about that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and who's going to go second?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, our Round One question concerns...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Richard.- Yeah, this is one of my slightly new Round Ones.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Remember when we did one another day? - Yeah.- A slightly different way of doing it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Where, ordinarily, I might say,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58"Tell us a professional team David Beckham has played for?"
0:05:58 > 0:06:02In this one, I'll give a list of six England football team captains.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You just have to tell us any club that any of them
0:06:04 > 0:06:08have played for, please. So, any league club that any of these England team captains
0:06:08 > 0:06:11have played for during their professional career.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Very, very best of luck.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Yes, indeed. Louise and Karen you all drew lots before the show
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and today you are going to go first.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19As Richard has just mentioned,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23we are going to put up six England football team captains
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and here they are. We have got...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'll read them all one last time.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And what you have to do is name any football team they have played for.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And, obviously, you're going to try and find the one you think
0:06:49 > 0:06:51the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Now then, Louise.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Football. Being from Newcastle, I'm going to say, "Alan Shearer."
0:06:58 > 0:07:01You're going to say, "Alan Shearer, Newcastle."
0:07:01 > 0:07:03OK, Newcastle for Alan Shearer. Let's see if that's right
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16APPLAUSE
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- 72 for Newcastle.- Yeah, it's a big score but it's damage limitation.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23You're right, he played for Newcastle and also Kevin Keegan played for Newcastle.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So, Newcastle is now out as a...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Out of the game.- Out of the game. - Newcastle no longer exists.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33No longer exists. See what you've done?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35OK, Dave, we are looking for any club that any of these
0:07:35 > 0:07:38England captains have played for.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40OK, I'm going to go for...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44..Bryan Robson,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46West Bromwich Albion.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49West Bromwich Albion, Bryan Robson.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Very well done, 11.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05APPLAUSE
0:08:05 > 0:08:0711 for West Brom.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Well played, Dave.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13He played for West Brom in that great team between '74 and '81, Bryan Robson.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thanks, Richard.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Now then, Graham, this is more like it, isn't it, Graham?- Yes, it is.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Much more.- There we are. - I think I know several of them.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I think Bobby Moore might be good,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24West Ham United.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27West Ham, Bobby Moore. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Absolutely right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE
0:08:38 > 0:08:4131 for West Ham for Bobby Moore.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Yes, made over 500 appearances for West Ham between 1958 and 1974.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Thanks, Richard.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Claire, we are looking for any club teams that these England captains have played for.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm going to go, then, for David Beckham,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Real Madrid.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Real Madrid.
0:09:05 > 0:09:0821, Claire. Very well done.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12APPLAUSE
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Real Madrid.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Well played, Claire. He played for Real Madrid between 2003 and 2007.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Dave and Steve looking very strong indeed.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Lovely low score of 11, there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Then, up to 21, where we find Claire and Rich.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Graham and Heather on 31
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and then up to 72. Karen, we're going to need
0:09:31 > 0:09:35a nice low score from you in the next pass to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36We'll come back down the line.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So, we're looking for any club team
0:09:44 > 0:09:46that these England captains have played for.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Rich, you're on 21.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50The high scorers are Karen and Louise on 72.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55If you can score 50 or less, you are through to the next round for sure.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'm going to follow Claire's lead and go with David Beckham
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and I think he had a spell on loan
0:10:00 > 0:10:01at Preston North End.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Sounds like a very good answer.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07There is your red line. If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Is it right, Preston North End, and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah, you're through.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Very, very well said, Rich.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22APPLAUSE
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Best score of the round so far.
0:10:23 > 0:10:255 takes your total up to 26.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Well played, Rich, yeah, another one of David Beckham's teams.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32He only played five games with Preston North End when on loan.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Now then, Heather, the high scorers are still
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Karen and Louise on 72.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43You're on 31. If you can score 40 or less, you're in the next round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I know David Beckham went to play in America.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I think it was Galaxy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51OK, Galaxy.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Galaxy.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Absolutely right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And you are through. Very well done indeed, Heather.
0:11:04 > 0:11:0725. A good answer.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Takes your total up to 56.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Beckham's popular, this round, isn't he?- Isn't he?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Joined LA Galaxy in 2007 and he, sort of, comes back and forth.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Thanks, Richard.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Now then, Steve, you are on 11.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24The high scorers are still Karen and Louise on 72.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27To stay in the game, you want to be scoring less than 60.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30We are looking for any club teams that these England captains have played for.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I'm going to go for
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Scunthorpe United.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I think that was Kevin Keegan's first club.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Scunthorpe United. Let's see if that's right
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Absolutely right.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And you are through, very well done.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Can you get lower than Rich and Claire, I wonder?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Yes, you can.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53APPLAUSE
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Very well done indeed. 6, Steve, takes your total up to 17,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00the lowest total of the round.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yeah, well played. Very good answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04As you say, Kevin Keegan started at Scunthorpe.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Now then, Karen, I have sorry news.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I know.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11You are the high scorers, even before your answer.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Alan Shearer! How could he do that
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- to a north-easterner? - How could he do that to us?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19But maybe you can find
0:12:19 > 0:12:20a brilliant low score.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21No.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Not a good subject for me.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- OK.- I can pick two, that's it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30And they're going to be probably more than 72.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31So, I'll say,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33"John Terry, Chelsea." That's it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36"John Terry, Chelsea," says Karen.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Let's see what John Terry, Chelsea scores.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49APPLAUSE
0:12:49 > 0:12:5158 takes your total up to 130, Karen.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Richard.- Yeah, two correct answers.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55High scores but they're right answers.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Been there since 1998,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58John Terry, over 500 appearances.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03There's five pointless answers but we've already heard some of the lower ones as well, though.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Hamburg, where Keegan played, would have scored 7.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Fulham, where Bobby Moore played, would have scored you 7.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Middlesbrough, Bryan Robson. That would have scored 6.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And AC Milan for David Beckham.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13That would have scored you 5 points.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Blacktown City in Australia. Keegan played there very, very briefly.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Herning Fremad.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Bobby Moore played there in the Danish league, again, briefly.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Nottingham Forest is a terrific pointless answer if you got that.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31John Terry made six appearances for Nottingham Forest on loan in 2000.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Very well done if you said that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37San Antonio Thunder and Seattle Sounders.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Both US teams who Bobby Moore played for.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, very well done if you got any of those pointless answers.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end
0:13:45 > 0:13:49of our first round, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm sorry to say, it's you, Karen and Louise.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51As Richard said, two correct answers there.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It wasn't really your category, was it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- No.- No, not at all.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Oh, dear.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59But we'll look forward to seeing you again next time.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Meanwhile, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And so we become three pairs.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18At the end of this round, we become two pairs for our head-to-head
0:14:18 > 0:14:20so one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Very exciting round, that one.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Claire and Rich, as the newcomers, how are you feeling?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Relieved.- Nervous, still. - Great performance there.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Rich, I've got to commend you on your beachwear.- Thank you very much.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33It's good, I like that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- It brings a, sort of, an atmosphere of sun.- A lot of people think they need to dress up to come on TV.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39All Claire's influence.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I didn't pick that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Don't blame me for that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Not even married yet. Brilliant.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Anyway, very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Our category for Round Two today is...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going first, who's going second?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03OK, our question concerns...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Richard.- On each pass, we are going to give you clues
0:15:08 > 0:15:13to the identities of six famous people born in Russia or the USSR.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Give us a wrong answer, that'll be 100 points.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Going to be 12 clues in all, 12 famous Russians to guess at home.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, thanks very much.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27So, we are looking for the famous Russians described here and we have got...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07There we are, six famous Russians.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Dave, what do you make of them?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Not good.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16But I know who bought Chelsea FC in 2003.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Roman Abramovich.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Roman Abramovich who bought Chelsea FC in 2003.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Let's see if that's right
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35APPLAUSE
0:16:35 > 0:16:3639 for Roman Abramovich.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39That's a lot lower than I was expecting.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Yeah, it is quite low, actually. In 2010, he bought the world's most expensive yacht.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46250 million he spent on a yacht.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It's got a disco in it. It's got a cinema.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's got a choice of helipads. How many helipads has your yacht got?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Three.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Now then, Graham, famous Russians.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I knew the first one.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That was the only one I knew for sure.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09But I'll have a punt at
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Navratilova.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Navratilova.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Yeah, the ladies' singles champion.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16OK, you're going to say, "Navratilova,"
0:17:16 > 0:17:19for the ladies' singles champion 2004 at Wimbledon.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Let's see if Navratilova is correct and,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Bad luck, Graham. Afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:17:29 > 0:17:30which means you score
0:17:30 > 0:17:33the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry, Graham.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Sorry, Graham, it was after her time for singles
0:17:35 > 0:17:37and she was born in Czechoslovakia.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40But I'll give the correct answer at the end of the round.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Thanks very much.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Claire, you're the last person to have this board so you can talk us through it, if you like.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Well, I can't.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49The October Revolution,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Stalin?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Wrote the ballet Swan Lake, I'm going to go for that.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'll go for Tchaikovsky. Is that how you say it?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- "Tchaikovsky," you say, as the composer of Swan Lake.- Yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Tchaikovsky.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Absolutely right.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Very well done.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14APPLAUSE
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Best score of the round, so far,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Claire, 30.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- IN RUSSIAN ACCENT: - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Absolutely right. I was about to ask you his first name. He's the most famous of the Russian composers.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29But the first name, less well-known.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34You'll be all right for some of these. Masterminded the October Revolution?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- Lenin.- Lenin. Absolutely right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Of course, that would have scored you 29.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Let's take a look at that ladies' singles champion, Graham.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It wasn't Martina Navratilova, it was...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Sharapova.- Maria Sharapova.- Are you saying, "Let's take a look at her?"
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Have you got a pic?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- The physiologist famed for dog experiments.- Pavlov.- Pavlov's dogs, of course.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Ivan Pavlov would have scored 18.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Do you know the pioneer of abstract art?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Kandinsky.- Yeah, Wassily Kandinsky, absolutely right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Best answer on the board, 2 points. Well done if you got all of those.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04OK, we are halfway through the round.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's take a look at the scores.
0:19:06 > 0:19:0830 for Claire and Rich.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Good score, there. Nice low score.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Snapping at your heels
0:19:11 > 0:19:13are Dave and Steve on 39.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16And then up to 100, I'm afraid, we find Graham and Heather.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, Heather, we need some good answering
0:19:18 > 0:19:19from you on the next pass.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22We'll hope that's enough to keep you in the round.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31OK, we are going to put six more famous Russians on the board
0:19:31 > 0:19:33and here we have got...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I'll read those all one more time.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07There we are. Six famous Russians.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Rich, the high scorers are Heather and Graham
0:20:09 > 0:20:11on 100. You are on 30.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12A score of 69 or less
0:20:12 > 0:20:16will see you through to the next round.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Russians aren't my best subject,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23but I'm going to go with the leader credited as architect...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25as Stalin.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Stalin the architect of Glasnost, says Rich. There is your red line.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Below that red line you are through to the next round for sure.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Let's see if Stalin's right,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and if so, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Ooh, bad luck, Rich.- Sorry.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41That's an incorrect answer,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43which scores the maximum 100 points.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I'm sorry. That takes your total to 130.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Heather, we come to you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50The high scorers are now Rich and Claire.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52They've thrown you a lifeline.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56So if you score 29 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57We want these famous Russians.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The only Russian I know is Tolstoy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Was he the Mad Monk?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'll go for that.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07The Mad Monk, Tolstoy, says Heather.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Let's see if that's right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15And if it is, how many people said that. Tolstoy.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Bad luck, I'm afraid.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Another incorrect answer, Heather.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- You have now joined the 200 club. - LAUGHTER - Hooray!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Now then, Steve. Great news, you are through anyway.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Better still, you can tidy up
0:21:27 > 0:21:29the board for us.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31There's only one there
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I could even hazard a guess at
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and that's the Mad Monk.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37And I'm going to say Rasputin.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Rasputin, says Steve. No red line, you're already through.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Let's see if Rasputin is the Mad Monk,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Absolutely right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:5232 for the Mad Monk being Rasputin.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Takes your total up to 71.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yeah, very well played, Steve. Good answer.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Says he was Grigori Rasputin.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05But he was actually born Ra Ra Rasputin. That was his birth name.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Have you ever listened to the lyrics of Ra Ra Rasputin by Boney M?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11"Lover of the Russian queen"?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15There are some absolute crackers. One bit of it goes "most people look at him with terror and fear,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18"but to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear."
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- "Such a lovely dear"? - Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- So, Heather, the only Russian you know is...?- Tolstoy.- Leo Tolstoy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26He's up there. I promise you that.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Do you want to have another go
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- at which one he might be?- No.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Tolstoy wrote Anna Karenina. - Did he?- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It would have scored you 34 points.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It would have still seen you knocked out,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- cos you'd have been on 134. - That's all right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43And the leader credited as architect of Glasnost - Gorbachev.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Mikhail Gorbachev. Absolutely right.
0:22:45 > 0:22:4812 points that would have scored you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Wrote Dr Zhivago?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Pasternak.- Yeah. Boris Pasternak, very well done.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Would have scored 8 points.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Wrote the symphony known as The Leningrad?- Dmitri Shostakovich.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'll give you that. Would have scored 1.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The other one is a Pointless answer.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06The Noble Prize winner who worked with Rutherford?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- I'm assuming you don't know this one.- I don't.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Very well done anyone who said Peter Kapitsa.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I could do with a 'Peter Kapitsa' now!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Oh, it'd be lovely, wouldn't it? - Yum-yum.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Ooh.- Wouldn't that be nice?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- A game of darts and a 'Peter-Kapitsa' on the way home.- Ooh!- Oh, lovely!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Mm-num-num-num! - LAUGHTER
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31At the end of that round, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'm sorry, it's Heather and Graham.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- 200 club.- That's an honour.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38It is an honour. A great honour.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We must say goodbye, Heather and Graham.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It's been lovely. Thank you so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48But for the remaining two pairs,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51things get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Many congratulations, Dave and Steve, Claire and Rich,
0:24:00 > 0:24:01you're one round away from the final,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19The great news is, you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23So, Dave and Steve, you were in the head-to-head last time.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Here you are once again. How are you feeling?- Erm, apprehensive.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28You played very well.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Claire and Rich, straight through to the head-to-head.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Are you feeling prepared for this? - As long as there's no more Russians.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Now you can confer.- I can share my knowledge.- There you are!
0:24:40 > 0:24:45So, I would say a very open field. Very best of luck to both of you. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:24:57 > 0:25:01We'll show you five photographs taken from major stage musicals,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04you just have to tell us what the musical is, please.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And try to pick the most obscure.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12OK, let's reveal our five photos from musicals. And we have got...
0:25:26 > 0:25:27OK, there we are. Five musicals.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Dave and Steve, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Two or three we think we know.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And I think we're going to go for...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46C, Carousel.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50C, Carousel, say Dave and Steve. Claire and Rich?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55A would be Singing in the Rain, B, we think, is Mamma Mia.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- D, we're thinking, is My Fair Lady. Let's go for Mamma Mia.- Yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- We'll go for B, Mamma Mia. - OK, you say B, Mamma Mia.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Dave and Steve said C was Carousel.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Let's see if that's right,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Carousel for C.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Absolutely right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:3023 for Carousel. So, Claire and Rich you have said that B is Mamma Mia.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Let's see how many said B was Mamma Mia.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Absolutely right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48So after one question, Steve and Dave, you are up 1-0. Richard.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Well played, Steve and Dave.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You knew a couple of others, Claire and Richard.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Should you have chosen one of those? You knew A was Singing In The Rain.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58But that would have scored you...
0:26:58 > 0:26:5975 points.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02You knew that D was My Fair Lady.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04And you should have gone with it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It would have scored you 11 points.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Tough luck.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14And E, the best answer on the board, The Phantom of the Opera.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It would have scored 2 points. SHE GROANS
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Did you know that one as well?- Yes! - Bad luck. You DID know it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah. I only went to see it three months ago.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Well, we've all learnt something, haven't we?- Yes.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Second question, Claire and Rich.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You have to win this question to stay in the game, remember.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Our second question concerns...
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Crufts Champion Breeds, Richard?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I'm going to give you names of five breeds that've been Crufts Supreme Champions
0:27:43 > 0:27:46since 1980, but we're leaving out alternate letters from their names.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Can you identify these breeds?
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five breeds with alternate letters omitted.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55We have got...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I'll read those again without saying blank.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Five breeds of dog. Claire and Rich, you go first this time.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40We don't know many, so we're going with toy poodle.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45Toy poodle, at the bottom. Toy poodle.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Now then, Dave and Steve, this is your chance.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Claire and Rich, you have gone for toy poodle.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53If you can win this question, you go straight through to the final.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- We'll go with the third one. Giant...- (I think it's schnarzer.)
0:28:58 > 0:29:00'Schnarzer.'
0:29:00 > 0:29:06- If you spell it, that would be... - S-C-H-N-A...
0:29:08 > 0:29:09- What do you reckon? R?- R.- R.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Z-E-R.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14- OK, schnarzer.- Yeah.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Claire and Rich, you have gone with toy poodle.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22You have to win this question, remember, to stay in the game.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Let's see if it's right, and how many of our people said toy poodle.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30It's absolutely right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Not bad.- Fine.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Dave and Steve have gone with giant schnarzer.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Let's see if that's right.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50And if it is, how many of our 100 people said giant schnarzer.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52If it's right, 24 is what you have to beat.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Bad luck, Dave and Steve. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Claire and Rich, you are back in the game.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03After two questions it's 1-1.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Richard?- Sorry, guys. Just one letter out - giant schnauzer.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08That's a U instead of an R.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Would have scored you 2 points there, too.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Would have seen you into the final.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Used to go out with a girl with a giant schnauzer.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- LAUGHTER - Did you?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Fill in the rest of the board.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31The top one is a whippet. That would have scored 63.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- The second one is Lhasa apso.- Yes. - It would have scored them 9.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And this other one will cause some people problems,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43but it's a very well known dog. 14 points for Irish setter.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Very well done. Yes. Here's your third question. The decider.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:30:54 > 0:30:58and plays for that jackpot of £8,000.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It concerns, this third question,...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03LAUGHTER
0:31:03 > 0:31:05OK, Gordon Brown. Richard?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Yes, your fate is in the hands of Gordon Brown. Just like the old days.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I will show you five clues to facts about Gordon Brown.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Give us the answer to the most obscure. Good luck, both teams.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18OK, here are five facts about Gordon Brown.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Five clues to facts about Gordon Brown. Dave and Steve, you go first.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I think I know his wife's first name.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I also know who he replaced as Prime Minister.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Shall we go for his wife's first name?- Yeah, you go with that.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06OK, I think his wife's first name is Sarah.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Sarah. You're saying Sarah.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Claire and Rich, you can talk us through the rest of the board, if you like.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I wish I could. See, I do like Gordon Brown.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I know he lost the sight in his eye playing rugby.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21He replaced Tony Blair, I don't know how many years
0:32:21 > 0:32:26he was Chancellor. Do you? Was it the whole time Labour was in, before he took over?
0:32:26 > 0:32:33- So Labour....- '97.- 97 to 2000 and... Was it '9 or is it '8?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- I think it would be 11 years. - It's whatever you think.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- (I think the rugby could be better.) - Do you think it will score lower?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Shall we go for rugby?- Yeah, rugby. - Rugby.- OK, you're saying rugby.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49A rugby accident. In which he lost the sight in his eye. OK.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Dave and Steve, you have gone for Sarah, the name of his wife.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Sarah.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Absolutely right.
0:33:07 > 0:33:0836 for Sarah.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Claire and Rich, you have said it was a rugby accident in which he lost the sight in his eye.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Is that right, and if so, how many people said it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:20This will decide who stays and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Very, very best of luck.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It's right. Now will it go below 36?
0:33:27 > 0:33:28No!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Which means after three questions,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Dave and Steve, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Richard?- Unlucky, Claire and Rich.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- What would you have said for his years as Chancellor?- I think 11.- 11.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It was ten years in the end.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It would have seen you through, if you'd gone ten, at 14 points.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52He was Chancellor the whole time Tony Blair was PM.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The person he replaced was Tony Blair.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59But it would have scored 82 points. And the first name he doesn't use?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- His real name is James Brown. Yeah.- Wow.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05LAUGHTER
0:34:05 > 0:34:10- James would have scored you 5 points. He uses his middle name. - Thank you, Richard.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14So the losing pair, at the end of the head-to-head, is Claire and Rich.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Did you know any of those lower-scoring answers in that?
0:34:16 > 0:34:21I did know his first name. It just came to me as you said it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22- And you knew My Fair Lady!- I know.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- And you knew Phantom Of The Opera which only scored 2!- I know.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Claire...- I'm going to be in bad books.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Rich, time for a bit of a Pointless briefing. See you next time.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40But for Dave and Steve, it's now time for our Pointless Final!
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Congratulations, Dave and Steve. Our two postmen.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51You have fought off all the competition
0:34:51 > 0:34:53and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Or rather you would have won it,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04but I tried to deliver it and you were out.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Oh, no!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11So you're going to have to turn up at some depot in the middle of bloomin' nowhere and...
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:13 > 0:35:18and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £8,000.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:23 > 0:35:26A head-to-head in your first show, through to the final in your second.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30This is how we do it! How are you feeling? Are you confident?
0:35:30 > 0:35:34We've got as far as we like. Obviously, the money would be nice.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37OK. Any particular category you'd love to see up there?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Darts has got to come up, hasn't it?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Surely. - Surely!
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Well, the rules are very simple.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46To win that money, just find a pointless answer.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Find one now and you will leave here with £8,000.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56You have a choice of five options and they are...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I mean, "art" is in "darts".
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- Yeah.- Yes, you're right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Well, I think you can get rid of playwrights
0:36:12 > 0:36:14and probably art and fictional characters.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Yep, how's your golf?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Not great but it's probably better than your music.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- It's up to you.- Well, we'll go for...- Do you want to go for golf?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- We'll go for golf.- OK.- Yeah.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29OK, we'll go for golf. Let's find out what that question is. Here it comes.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:31 > 0:36:36to name as many Ryder Cup captains as they could.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Ryder Cup captains, Richard?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Yes, we're looking for any man who's been named Ryder Cup captain for either team
0:36:41 > 0:36:45from when the competition became USA versus Europe in 1979,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- all the way through to the 2012 competition. Good luck.- OK.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:52 > 0:36:54and all you need to win that £8,000 jackpot
0:36:54 > 0:36:56is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04There you are. Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- I know Tony Jacklin, Bernard Gallacher...- Ben Crenshaw.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Ben Crenshaw, OK. - I know another American....
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Was Curtis Strange... - Curtis Strange was.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Yeah.- Cos he cried when they lost. - Yeah.- Bernard Gallacher.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Bernard Gallacher. I remember him.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Seve.- Seve, but he'd be too... - Yeah, obviously Woosnam.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Faldo...- Woosnam... Faldo.- Montgomerie.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Montgomerie has. - He'd be a popular answer.- Yeah.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Crenshaw... - We'll go for Crenshaw.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- Strange, do you reckon?- Curtis Strange? Who was the other one you said first?- Bernard Gallacher.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Yes, Curtis Strange.- Tony Jacklin, that's the only one.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Yeah, there's another American... - Tom Watson.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Nicklaus has.- What about Kite?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Was there a Kite, Tom Kite? - Yeah, Tom Kite.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Tom Kite, has he...? - Yeah, Tom Kite has.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52There's another American I can't quite think of at the moment.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- It's, um...- Ten seconds. - Lee? Not Lee.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00I don't know any more. I'm pretty much out, I think.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Calcavecchia?- No, he hasn't.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06OK, your time is up.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We were looking for Ryder Cup captains.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I now need your three answers.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Ben Crenshaw.- Ben Crenshaw.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Curtis Strange.- Curtis Strange. - Curtis Strange.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Tom Kite. No?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Tom Kite or Bernard Gallacher? - We'll go with Bernard Gallacher.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Bernard Gallacher. OK, there are the three answers.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Of those three, which do you think is your best shot of a Pointless answer?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Ben Crenshaw.- Ben Crenshaw, put him last. Who's your least likely?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Probably Bernard Gallacher. - Bernard Gallacher, we'll put first.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46OK, so we were looking for Ryder Cup captains.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £8,000 jackpot.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Steve, what would you do with eight grand?- I've recently got engaged.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Congratulations. - It would pay for a nice honeymoon.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00APPLAUSE
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Very good. Dave, how about you?
0:39:03 > 0:39:10Oh, I might treat the wife to a new iron or ironing board.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- LAUGHTER - A popular move, I imagine.
0:39:15 > 0:39:21But seriously, it would be a lovely holiday with the children and the wife.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25OK, well, let's see. Your first answer is Bernard Gallacher.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Let's see how many people said it, it has to be pointless
0:39:28 > 0:39:30if you're going to win that £8,000 jackpot.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32How many people said Bernard Gallacher?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Absolutely right. Bernard Gallacher, down it goes.
0:39:36 > 0:39:42If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave here with £8,000.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Into the teens, into single figures, down it goes.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Still going. Four!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Four.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57You weren't expecting that to be pointless, really, were you? No.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Not a pointless answer. Curtis Strange was your next answer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Let's hope it's correct, obviously. Let's hope nobody said it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08This for £8,000, Curtis Strange.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14OK, it's right. Bernard Gallacher took us down to four.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Curtis Strange, if he can take us all the way down to 0,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21you are leaving here with £8,000.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Down it goes, still going.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Oh, one!
0:40:30 > 0:40:36OK, we're getting in the right region. We really are.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Also, Curtis Strange is a name you remember.- It's a STRANGE one.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Yes, it's a strange name, thank you.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Ben Crenshaw, on the other hand, who's going to remember that?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49We have to hope that it's right, we have to hope it will be pointless.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52This is your last chance to win today's jackpot of £8,000.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55We're looking for Ryder Cup captains.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Let's see if Ben Crenshaw is right
0:40:57 > 0:41:02and if it is, how many people said it. Good luck.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08OK, well, it's right. Bernard Gallacher took us down to four.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Curtis Strange took us right down to one.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Ben Crenshaw, if he goes down to 0, you leave with £8,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Still going... Oh, no!
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Who was it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:30- One person.- Who was he? - I don't know. Or she.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I'm so sorry. Three brilliant answers there.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42You do at least get to take home a Pointless trophy, so there we are.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Richly deserved.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Unlucky guys, good category for you
0:41:49 > 0:41:53and you nearly went with Tom Kite instead of Bernard Gallacher.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56It would have scored one point as well.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Was Lanny Wadkins pointless?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Let's have a look at the Pointless answers in a moment.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04There's a few more one-pointers - Corey Pavin, Mark James.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Look at the pointless answers,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08the more familiar ones are at the end of the list.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Billy Casper and Dave Marr who were the US captains in '79 and '81.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Dave Stockton who brought the trophy back to the States in '91.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Hal Sutton, Lanny Wadkins, who was the captain in 1995.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23John Jacobs, the only European on that list,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24he was the losing captain in '79 and '81.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29A couple more big names as well. Ray Floyd and Tom Lehman as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34That is tough luck, guys.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36We have to say goodbye Dave and Steve,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38it's been great having you on the show.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Brilliant contestants. Great, great play.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45So Dave and Steve didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:45 > 0:42:47which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:47 > 0:42:49when we will be playing for £9,000.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
