0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Now, first up we welcome Leo and Ross,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39our first pair on the show today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- We both go to university together, up in Edinburgh.- Up in Edinburgh.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Leo, what are you studying? - I study Medicine, with Ross.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47- You're a medic as well?- Yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Medical students have a terrible reputation. Is this deserved?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54BOTH: Probably. LAUGHTER
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Not even a moment's hesitation, there.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59What kind of medicine do you do, Leo?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01We all study a general course to start with,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03but I hope to get into orthopaedics in the end.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Right you are. And Ross, how about you?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I quite fancy A&E.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Nothing too laid back.- A&E? Wow, there's a nice and easy job.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Oh, of course.- Brilliant. Saturday night's a breeze.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17OK, well, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's great to have you here. Very, very best of luck.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Next, we welcome Gary and Neil. How do you two know each other?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I think I know how you know each other, just looking at you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- We are brothers. - You are brothers, of course.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Gary, where are you from? - Beaconsfield.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And what are you looking forward to seeing come up today?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- I like TV and film, sports. - OK, Gary?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Maybe animations.- Animations.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Good. Anything you're particularly hoping doesn't come up?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43History, politics.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Art and literature, musicals.- Science.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- How long have you got? - This is quite a long list, isn't it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Anyway, very, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Great to have you on the show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And next, we welcome back Sarah and Kris.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You were on the show last time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Everyone gets two chances to reach the final,
0:02:01 > 0:02:02this is your second chance.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Sarah, remind us how you know each other.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Kris and I are boyfriend and girlfriend.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And Kris, tell us what happened last time.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I completely bottled a politics question.- It will happen.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14It was unfair,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18because we discovered last time that Sarah is actually from Arizona,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and the questions were all very, very British, weren't they?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26We had UK Top 40 singles from the 1980s.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You know, how good would we be on Arizona stuff?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Me? Awesome.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33LAUGHTER
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, anyway, that was last time. This time, a new day, a new show.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Sarah, what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Music or film would be quite good, or American TV.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44American anything, really.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Anything American. OK. Kris, what would be the dream category for you?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Music. Pretty much anything football-related,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I'd be very happy with.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK. Sarah, Kris, lovely to have you back on the show,
0:02:54 > 0:02:59let's hope we see you through to the head-to-head and beyond, this time.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Very best of luck. And finally, we welcome John and Val.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Now, how do you two know each other?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- We've been married 52 years. - 52 years? Many congratulations.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- And where are you from, Val? - Sunderland.- Sunderland, lovely.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14What do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Well, we play in a local quiz league, the two of us, in a team.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- And what's the team called? - The Colonel Prior.- Colonel Prior.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Will the Colonel be watching, do you think?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Colonel Prior is a pub in Sunderland.- Oh, I see.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32All right, there we are. The Colonel Prior team.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34He won't be watching, he's been dead some years.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Some many years, quite probably.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Anyway, very, very best of luck to you, John and Val.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- It's great to have you here. - Thank you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We'll find out more about all of you during the show.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45There's only one person left for me to introduce,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48a man so clever that every tooth in his head is a wisdom tooth.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Hiya.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56APPLAUSE
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Afternoon. - Top of the afternoon to you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02We've only got one returning pair today, which is Sarah and Kris, who seem very good,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04but Sarah was unlucky last time.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- We kept giving her very British categories, didn't we?- We did.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Think she might be a bit happier with Round One today, I suspect.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I think they might do quite well today. Before we go on, though,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17can I say, how is it possible that Val has been married for 52 years?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I mean...- Child bride.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm so sorry, now it makes absolute sense.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32To get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning the jackpot, our contestants
0:04:32 > 0:04:35must find the obscure answers that our 100 people didn't get.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So, the fewest of our 100 people who knew the answer,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40the fewer points these pairs will score.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Glen and Arthur won the jackpot last time,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer
0:05:06 > 0:05:09with your partner. Whichever pair has the highest score at the end
0:05:09 > 0:05:11of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, try and make sure that's not you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15OK, our first category today is...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:05:21 > 0:05:22who's going to go second.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, our question concerns...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Richard.- Yeah, that's as close to America
0:05:38 > 0:05:40as I can get, Sarah, I'm afraid.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42On each pass, I'll show you seven descriptions
0:05:42 > 0:05:44of famous people who were born in Canada,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46or Canadian territory. Tell me who they are.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The more obscure your answer, the fewer points you'll score.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52An incorrect answer, as always, will score you 100 points.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54See how many of these 14 you can get at home.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, Leo and Ross, you all drew lots before the show,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and today you are going to go first.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So, we are looking for these famous Canadians. And we have got...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'll read those all one last time...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39There we are. Seven clues to famous Canadians.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You're going to try and find the one that you think
0:06:41 > 0:06:43the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Ross, what do you make of the board behind me?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I know a couple of them.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Shockingly enough, the music and film ones, I know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57But, I think the answer that I'll go for is the person who
0:06:57 > 0:07:00released Jagged Little Pill, which is Alanis Morissette.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Alanis Morissette.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Let's see if that's right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06If it is, how many people knew that answer? Alanis Morissette.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Absolutely right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:1421.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17APPLAUSE
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Not bad at all. 21 for Alanis Morissette. - Well played, Ross.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Good start.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23One of the many friends of Pointless, Ed Byrne, the comedian,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26does a very good routine about her song Ironic,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29listing the many reasons why the things in the song aren't ironic.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Like "rain on your wedding day." - Nothing ironic about that.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Not really. It's just a thing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Alanis Morissette, I always think, looks incredibly like Jools Holland.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I thought her hair complimented Jools Holland's face rather well.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- The whole package, really.- Yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51What must it be like inside that head of yours, I wonder.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53What a terrifying thought.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Now then, Gary. How's the board looking behind me?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Not too bad. I know who both The Blues Brothers are,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04but I don't know which one's Canadian.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06So I'm going to take it safe, and I'm going to go with
0:08:06 > 0:08:09"Directed the film Avatar", which I believe was James Cameron.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12James Cameron, says Gary. Director of Avatar. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. James Cameron.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's right.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2527. Really not bad at all.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- 27.- Well played, Gary. Yes, it is quite low.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think people don't know film directors.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36They know films, but not directors, despite the fact that at one point
0:08:36 > 0:08:38he had the two highest-grossing movies of all time,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40in Avatar and Titanic. But even still,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43that's about as famous as you're ever going to get as a director, I think.
0:08:43 > 0:08:4627 out of 100.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Thank very much, Richard. Now then, Sarah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51OK, so I knew James Cameron, and I knew Alanis Morissette.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I know the My Heart Will Go On, but I think that's probably going to be too well-known.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56So I'm going to go for one half
0:08:56 > 0:08:58of The Blues Brothers, and say Dan Aykroyd.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Dan Aykroyd. Very good,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04let's see how many people said Dan Aykroyd.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Absolutely right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Good answer, Sarah! Best score so far.
0:09:16 > 0:09:1712 for Dan Aykroyd.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yes, born in Ottawa in 1952.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Thanks very much. Now then, Val.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You're the last person to have this board,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27so you can go through it and fill in the blanks, if you like.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, no, I can't.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I don't know the inventor of basketball,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34the economist I'm not sure about.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm going to have to go out on a limb with
0:09:36 > 0:09:37the author of The Handmaid's Tale.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Margaret Atwood?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Margaret Atwood, says Val. The author of The Handmaid's Tale.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Let's see if that's right. If it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Absolutely right, Val.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Down it goes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's a great answer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Very, very well done indeed. 4 for Margaret Atwood.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Brilliant.- Great answer, Val.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05The wonderful Margaret Atwood,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07born also in Ottawa, in 1939.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Do you know what she invented a few years ago? She obviously
0:10:10 > 0:10:13went around the world doing book signing tours and spent
0:10:13 > 0:10:14a lot of her time signing books.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17She invented a thing called the LongPen,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20which enables her to sign autographs by remote control.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Across the Atlantic, she can sign an autograph by remote control.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26This is the sort of...
0:10:26 > 0:10:33you know, surgeons now can do operations across the world, similarly, with similar...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36She didn't invent that. Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Had a number one hit with My Heart Will Go On, that's Celine Dion.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Would have scored 46. The other two are very low scorers.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44The inventor of basketball,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46very well done anyone at home who knows.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's James Naismith. Would have scored one point.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The economist who advised Kennedy is a pointless answer.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I know some people will have got this.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's J K Galbraith.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Pointless answer.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Well done to anyone who got all seven of those, especially. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02We're halfway through the round,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Val and John looking particularly strong, lovely low score of 4.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Great answer with Margaret Atwood, there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Then up to 12,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15where we find Sarah and Kris, then up to 21,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17where we find Ross and Leo,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20then up to 27, where we find Gary and Neil.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23All pretty close. It's quite a close field. Neil, we'll need
0:11:23 > 0:11:25a brilliant answer from you in the next pass and hope it's enough
0:11:25 > 0:11:27to keep you in the game. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK, we're going to put seven more famous Canadians on the board,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38and here they are.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41We have got...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I will read all of those again...
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Now remember, we are looking for the famous Canadians thus described.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26And obviously, you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29John, Val has left you in a very, very strong position,
0:12:29 > 0:12:30with that lovely low score of 4.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34The high scorers are Neil and Gary on 27, you're on 4,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37so a score of 22 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38What do you think?
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Well, I'm glad she's left me a good board, of which I know very little.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'll have to go for James Kirk,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49William Shatner.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52William Shatner, says John. William Shatner. Let's see.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Here's your red line.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56If you can get below that red line with William Shatner,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58you are through to the next round.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Let's see how William Shatner does for you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04It's right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:0836.
0:13:10 > 0:13:1336, takes your total up to a nice round 40.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Another quite low score for a very famous person, I would say.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Born in Montreal, William Shatner.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Now then, Kris.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The high scorers at the moment are John and Val on 40, you're on 12.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30If you can score 27 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33OK, the singing star I think I know, but I'm not really
0:13:33 > 0:13:35in a position to gamble, because it might be wrong.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I'm going to have to play it safe and go for the one that
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I definitely know, and that's "Married Tommy Lee in 1995".
0:13:41 > 0:13:43At least, I hope I definitely know it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45That's Pamela Anderson.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Pamela Anderson married Tommy Lee in 1995.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Is that right? How many people said it?
0:13:51 > 0:13:52It's right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56You've done it! Wow, 25.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0225 takes your total up to 37. Wow.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Yeah, well played, Kris.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Another low score.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Born in British Columbia in 1967. She gave a talk at
0:14:08 > 0:14:11the Oxford Union a few years ago about the benefits of vegetarianism.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Thanks, Richard. Now, Neil, the high scorers remain
0:14:14 > 0:14:16John and Val on 40.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You are on 27.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20If you can score 12 or less,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22you are through to the next round.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Unfortunately, that board's not looking too good now.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30The two that I knew have both gone, so I'm going to have
0:14:30 > 0:14:34to have a guess, and go for the teen singing star.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Taylor Swift? - Taylor Swift, says Neil.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42The teen singing star who caused a "Fever" in 2010.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Let's see if Taylor Swift is right, if it is,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It's quite low.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57which means you scored the maximum of 100 points,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00which takes your total, I'm afraid, up to an unbeatable 127.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Sorry.- Yeah, unlucky, Neil.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Taylor Swift born in Pennsylvania, I'm afraid.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06But Leo,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09first piece of news, you are through to the next round, come what may.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Neil and Gary's
0:15:13 > 0:15:14high score of 127.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17There's the board. Do you fancy filling it in for us?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I would if I could.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22The two I knew are the two that have been given.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I know that my dad is a huge fan of a blues guitarist called
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Joe Bonamassa, who did a cover of Bird On A Wire.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31So I'm going to say Joe Bonamassa.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Joe Bonamassa. Let's see if it's right,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Bad luck, Leo. An incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 121.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It couldn't matter less. You're already through to the next round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Not Joe Bonamassa, I'm afraid. Born in New York.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But another absolutely wonderful Canadian star, Leonard Cohen,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55wrote Bird On A Wire. Perhaps more famous
0:15:55 > 0:15:57for writing Hallelujah. That's his most famous song.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00He wrote over 80 verses to Hallelujah over five years.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- Did you know that?- Wow.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Would have scored you 3 points, Leonard Cohen. A great answer.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Now, Neil.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Are you on Twitter at all?- I am.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14I've got to tell you, you have just upset 22 million of the most
0:16:14 > 0:16:17hardcore, passionate fans in the world,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20because the teen singing star who caused a "fever" in 2010
0:16:20 > 0:16:21was Justin Bieber.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25They are going to go nuts.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Justin Bieber would have scored you 17 points.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Let's take a look at the rest.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Played the grieving father in Don't Look Now,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34was Donald Sutherland.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Would have scored you 13 points. Directed the film Eastern Promises.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40David Cronenberg. Would have scored you 4.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43The architect of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao was Frank Gehry,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and that would have scored you 1 point,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48so that's the best answer on the board. Well done if you got that.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Thanks, Richard.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So, at the end of our first round, the pair who will be leaving us
0:16:52 > 0:16:54on account of their high score,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm afraid, is Neil and Gary.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Bad luck, guys. Taylor Swift, not Justin Bieber.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Not a bad answer, though. - Well, I'm not a Bieber fan, so...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Don't say that!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09LAUGHTER
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Are you nuts?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But in the meantime, Neil and Gary, thanks so much for playing.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Neil and Gary!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20APPLAUSE
0:17:20 > 0:17:22For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29And so, four pairs become three.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And at the end of this round another pair will be leaving us,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35so there are only two pairs left for the head-to-head.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well, that was a pretty good round, I would say.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Some nice low scores from everybody.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Sarah and Kris, you were our lowest scorers.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Sarah, are you feeling a bit better now? It's a bit more international.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Yeah, I knew most of those, I think, in both the first and the second.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50And who doesn't love Justin Bieber? So...
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Who doesn't?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I know I do.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- I know you do.- Yeah, big fan.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58John and Val, some lovely answering from you, and Leo and Ross,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01also very good indeed.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I'm sorry your answer wasn't a correct one, though. But, still.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06A solid performance, I'd say.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I wouldn't really want to call it at this stage.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Our category for Round Two, though, is...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18who's going to go second.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Sorry, Sarah. ..as they could.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Male Blue Peter presenters. Richard.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45We're looking for any man who has been one of the main presenters of Blue Peter, from 1958
0:18:45 > 0:18:47up to the beginning of May 2012, please.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Very best of luck.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, Leo.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Who is the most obscure male
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Blue Peter presenter you can think of?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Well, it's been a long time since I've watched Blue Peter,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02so I'm struggling.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05But I think there was a presenter called Matt Baker.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Matt Baker, says Leo. Matt Baker.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Let's see if that's right and,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12if it is, let's see how many people said Matt Baker.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Absolutely right.
0:19:20 > 0:19:2212.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26A good answer. 12 for Matt Baker.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Matt Baker now, of course, presenting The One Show.- Absolutely.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And presented Blue Peter for over seven years.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Also a celebrity Pointless guest, as well.- He has been a celebrity Pointless guest, yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Now then, Sarah. Bad luck.- Yeah.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I can't say I know a single one,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and honestly, I've gone totally blank
0:19:44 > 0:19:47on male TV presenters in general.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50So, purely based on the strength of your impression of him,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I'm just going to say Brian Blessed.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54LAUGHTER
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Wow.- Wow.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Let's see if that's right and,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Brian Blessed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Bad luck. I'm so sorry, Sarah. Unfortunately,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16really unfortunately, that is incorrect.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17I would have given anything
0:20:17 > 0:20:20for Brian Blessed to have presented Blue Peter.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You knew it was wrong, but I think you did it so we'd ask Alexander
0:20:25 > 0:20:28to do an impression of Brian Blessed as a Blue Peter presenter.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31So, I think that's a wonderful idea.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33OK. OK.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- I've just got to get in the Blessed zone.- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Who do you want me to be, Janet Ellis?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Oh, please!
0:20:40 > 0:20:46"All right, Janet. What I've done here is that I've taken some..."
0:20:47 > 0:20:49He swears a lot.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53"I've got some sticky-back plastic."
0:20:53 > 0:20:57There we are, that'll do.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58APPLAUSE
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Phew. Brian Blessed, alas, not a Blue Peter presenter.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Now then, Val. Val.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I'm going back a bit, because I can.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And I think, Christopher Trace?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Christopher Trace, says Val. Christopher Trace.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many
0:21:20 > 0:21:22of our 100 people said Christopher Trace.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Absolutely right, Val.
0:21:32 > 0:21:338.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The best answer so far. 8 for Christopher Trace.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Well played, Val.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Val's good, isn't she? - She's very good. She's good.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43That's a proper good answer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Margaret Atwood, Christopher Trace. - Yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48What else has she got? That's amazing.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49He was a presenter from '58 to '67.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Val and John, again looking very strong at this halfway point on 8,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59then up to 12, where we find Leo and Ross.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Then, woah, up to the dizzy heights of 100, I'm afraid,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05where we find Sarah and Kris.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08So, Chris, let's hope you've got a brilliant answer on the next pass
0:22:08 > 0:22:12that will maybe keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23OK, so we're looking for male presenters of Blue Peter since 1958.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27John, once again Val has left you in a very strong position.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Your score is eight. The high scorers are Chris and Sarah on 100.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35If you can score 91 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I'll go back as far as Val did and I'll say Peter Purves.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Peter Purves, says John. There is your red line.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Let's see if you can get below that with Peter Purves.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49How many people said Peter Purves? Is it right?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Absolutely right. You're through.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- 60. - APPLAUSE
0:22:56 > 0:22:5960 for Peter Purves, takes your total up to 68. Richard.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Big score, but sees you through.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Slightly after Christopher Trace's time. '67 to '68, Peter Purves.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- He said they never used an autocue on Blue Peter.- I bet they didn't.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Can you imagine that? Can YOU imagine that? LAUGHTER
0:23:13 > 0:23:14No, I can't.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16LAUGHTER
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Now then. Chris, you are the high scorers on 100 points.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- We need a really low score from you. - We need a miracle!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26And a low score.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Erm... Well, I know a couple.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I watched it round about the mid '80s,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35so both of the answers I've got are from then.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'm going for Simon Groom.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Simon Groom, says Chris. Let's see if that's right
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48There's no red line for you, as you the high scorers.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Eight! - APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:02108 is your total. Simon Groom.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- From '87 to '86, and joined on his first day by Goldie. Remember Simon Groom and Goldie?- Yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- And now he runs a B&B in Derbyshire. - What's Simon Groom doing?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13LAUGHTER
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Now then, Ross. You're the last person to play.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Have you had all your answers nicked by other people?- Thankfully not.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28The high scorers on 108 are Chris and Sarah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- You've got a margin of 95. - I'm hoping I can get that.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I've picked one from the depths of my brain.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I was never a big Blue Peter fan.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I'm picking someone I think has now swanned off to America. Tim Vincent.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Tim Vincent. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Absolutely right. You are through. Very well done.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Oh, very good. Lovely low score there as well, Ross.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00That takes your total up to 18. A score of six.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well played, Ross, as you say, he
0:25:02 > 0:25:04presented for about four or five years in the 90s.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08He has relocated to Hollywood when he presents on Access Hollywood.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Let's take a look at the lowest scoring answers.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13No pointless answers here at all, Blue Peter being one of those things
0:25:13 > 0:25:17that everybody at every age knows. There are a few people on one point.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Andy Akinwolere would have scored you 1 point,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Christopher Wenner would have scored you one point. And Joel Defries.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let's look at the worst answers you could have given.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29These are the most well-known Blue Peter presenters of all time.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The male ones, Peter Duncan on 16 was third.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Peter Purves on 60 and who do you think is top?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37John Noakes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40John Noakes, absolutely right on 64.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44At the end of round two, the pair who will be leaving us
0:25:44 > 0:25:46once again, I am afraid, Kris and Sarah.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48It has been lovely having you on the show.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I'm sorry we didn't have more international questions for you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But you have done brilliantly.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Great to have you, Kris and Sarah, thanks very much for playing.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57APPLAUSE
0:25:59 > 0:26:00But for the remaining two pairs,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03things are about get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Well, congratulations John and Val, Leo and Ross,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15you are now only one round away from the final and the chance to play
0:26:15 > 0:26:19for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21OK, you are now going to go head-to-head and the first pair
0:26:21 > 0:26:25to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28The great news is, from here on in, you're allowed to confer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42..Jane Austen characters.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Jane Austen characters, Richard.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46We are going to show you five pictures of actors appearing
0:26:46 > 0:26:52as characters from TV and film adaptations of Jane Austen books.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54You have to tell us the names of the characters.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Let's reveal our five Jane Austen characters and here they are.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00We have got...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So there we are, five Jane Austen characters.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20John and Val, you played best throughout the show so far
0:27:20 > 0:27:22so you get to go first.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Think we might have to go with the safe ones.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Elizabeth Bennett.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Do we have an answer?- We are going to go for A, Elizabeth Bennett.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Elizabeth Bennett, A, you're saying.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Leo and Ross, the board is yours.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Well, I don't think either of us know particularly much about Jane Austen.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I can honestly say I've never read any of the books
0:27:48 > 0:27:51or seen any of the films.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55But, somewhere in my head I get the feeling that D is Mr Darcy.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58D, Mr Darcy.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So we have Elizabeth Bennett and we have Mr Darcy.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05John and Val have gone for Elizabeth Bennett, let's see if that's right
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and if it is, let's see how many people said
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Elizabeth Bennett for A.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Absolutely right.
0:28:16 > 0:28:1911.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20APPLAUSE
0:28:22 > 0:28:2611, now Leo and Ross, you have said that D is Mr Darcy.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Let's see if that's right
0:28:27 > 0:28:31and if it is, let's see how many people said Mr Darcy, D.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Absolutely right. Will it go down lower than 11, though?
0:28:36 > 0:28:3844.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39APPLAUSE
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Very well done, John and Val, great answer there,
0:28:45 > 0:28:49which means after one question you are up 1-0. Richard?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Well played, there are a couple of answers which would have
0:28:51 > 0:28:54beaten your score. Let's take a look at them. B is a pointless answer.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59It's Ciaran Hinds playing Captain Frederick Wentworth from Persuasion.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Very well done if you said that.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04C is Billie Piper playing the Fanny Price from Mansfield Park.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07It would have scored two four points, another good answer.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09And that is Gwyneth Paltrow, of course,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11playing Emma Woodhouse from Emma.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13That would have scored you 16.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Leo and Ross, you have to win this question
0:29:18 > 0:29:21to stay in the game, remember.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22And it concerns...
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Footballing rivalries. Footballing rivalries, Richard?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Yes, we are going to show you five sets of initials now.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Those initials standing for football rivals
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and will also give you the name of the derby in which they appear.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39So, can you workout which initials fit which pair of teams?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Let's reveal our warring clubs and here they are. We have got...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I'll read those one more time.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20There we are, five footballing rivalries.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Leo and Ross, you go first this time.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27THEY WHISPER
0:30:27 > 0:30:29OK, Leo and Ross.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Yes, this is actually rather a good board for us.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36I think we know them all.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40But I think the best answer might be KC versus OP.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I think that is Kaiser Chiefs versus the Orlando Pirates.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49Kaiser Chiefs versus the Orlando Pirates say Leo and Ross.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52John and Val, the board is yours.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Well, we don't know them all,
0:30:53 > 0:30:59but we think that the bottom one is Barcelona against Real Madrid.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Barcelona versus Real Madrid, say John and Val.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05So, in the audience they were given,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Leo and Ross said the Kaiser Chiefs versus the Orlando Pirates.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13let's see how many people said it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Absolutely right.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Down it goes.
0:31:21 > 0:31:243, that's a great answer, very well done, Leo and Ross.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31You said you thought that might be the lowest score on the board.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Now we know what it actually did score,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I think the others would struggle to get that low but we shall see.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Barcelona versus Real Madrid, say John and Val,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40let's see if that's right
0:31:40 > 0:31:42let's see how many people said it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It's right.
0:31:49 > 0:31:5130.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53APPLAUSE
0:31:53 > 0:31:5730, very well done. Leo and Ross, a fantastic answer there.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01You are back in the game. After two questions, you are absolutely even.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03One all, Richard.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Yes, that was the best answer on the board, as you suspected.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Let's take a look through the rest of them.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11E v L, the Merseyside derby, that is Everton v Liverpool.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13But it would only have scored 73 points.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17C v R is Celtic versus Rangers.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19It would have scored you 54 points.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20And do you know A v F?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- No.- It is Dutch. It is Ajax versus Feyenoord, Der Klassieker.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26That would have scored you 5 points.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Well done if you got all five of those.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So it comes down to a third question.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:32:34 > 0:32:36and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns...
0:32:40 > 0:32:41..Hong Kong.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Hong Kong, Richard.- Yes, simply
0:32:44 > 0:32:46going to give you five clues to facts about Hong Kong.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Very best of luck, both teams.- OK,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53let's reveal our five clues to facts about Hong Kong and we have got:
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'll read all of those again.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31There we are. Five clues to facts about Hong Kong.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34John and Val, you go first this time.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41We think we'll go for the last governor who was Chris Patten.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Chris Patten say John and Val. Leo and Ross.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Somehow doubt we're going to beat that answer.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57I think the bottom one, the late kung-fu star is probably
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Bruce Lee, so I think we'll go with that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02You're going to go with Bruce Lee.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04So we have Chris Patten and Bruce Lee.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06OK, John and Val said Chris Patten.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10and if it is, let's see how many people said Chris Patten.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's right.
0:34:17 > 0:34:1924.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:2624 for Chris Patten. Now, Leo and Ross, was this a guess, Bruce Lee?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- Educated guess. - An educated guess.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34I wouldn't have expected any other kind.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36OK, an educated guess, Bruce Lee.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Let's see if it's right, and it is, let's see if it can get
0:34:40 > 0:34:42anywhere near Chris Patten on 24. Bruce Lee.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46It's right.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Oh, you've done it, look at that, 22!
0:34:53 > 0:34:5522 for Bruce Lee.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57APPLAUSE
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Very, very well done, Leo and Ross.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1, brilliant.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07That's about as close as things can get.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It's very rare you see a fight between Chris Patten and Bruce Lee.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11LAUGHTER
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Brucie born in San Francisco but grew up in Hong Kong.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Let's have a look at the rest of them.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20The special administrative region of China,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22would have scored you 41 points.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26The year it was transferred was 1997.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27That would have scored you 13
0:35:27 > 0:35:31and the English translation of the name Hong Kong is Fragrant Harbour.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34It would have scored you 4. It is also the English translation
0:35:34 > 0:35:36of the name Grimsby.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40LAUGHTER It's fragrant harbour.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So the losing pair
0:35:43 > 0:35:44at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I am afraid it's John and Val.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49A very, very hard-fought head-to-head.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Very close indeed, that last answer there.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55You have played so well throughout the show so far. Fantastic.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59We will look forward to seeing you next time and hope you come through to the head-to-head
0:35:59 > 0:36:03and maybe further then. John and Val, thanks very much for playing.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05APPLAUSE
0:36:05 > 0:36:09But for Leo and Ross, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Congratulations, you fought off all the competition
0:36:16 > 0:36:19and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33There it is.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34APPLAUSE
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Well, it's been a pretty solid performance, I would say.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Round one, Leo, I can remember Joe Bonamassa
0:36:40 > 0:36:42being your answer, scoring 100 points.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Did the final seem a long way away then?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49I was concentrating on how disappointed my father would be
0:36:49 > 0:36:51that I didn't manage to get the right answer for that one.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I'm sure he's been drilling it into me for years,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57without thinking about it, but...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I think you've atoned for that, and here you are,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03ready for the final. That was a very exciting head to head though.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Very exciting, very closely fought. The rules are very simple,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09to win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11We've had no pointless answers on the show today.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14You only have to find one now and you go home with that money.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Firstly, choose a category.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19You can choose from these five options. They are...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- I think Rock Stars.- I'd say so.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Yes, I think for that, we'll go for Rock Stars.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Rock Stars. Quick decision there. Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37We gave 100 people, 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:37 > 0:37:42Bruce Springsteen UK top 40 singles as they could. Richard.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45We're looking for any single released by Bruce Springsteen,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47or which has him as a named, featured artist
0:37:47 > 0:37:52which has been in the UK top 40 prior to May 2012, please.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Good luck.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56OK, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:56 > 0:38:00and all you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10THEY CONFER
0:38:10 > 0:38:12(Thunder Road was his most recent one.)
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Thunder Road, I'm pretty sure was a top 40. That's off the new album.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19There's Dancing In The Dark...
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I, honestly, I only know his big ones.
0:38:22 > 0:38:29I hate Bruce Springsteen. Sorry to Bruce, but I really do.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Er...- I don't know.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Thunder Road is the only one I can think of, that's the top answer now.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36My flatmate's a huge fan...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Do you know anything else?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42You know, like, Born In The USA, Stuff like that.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Um, also, Everybody's Got... something.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Oh, there's another one and it's rubbish,
0:38:50 > 0:38:51that I can't remember the name of.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:38:53 > 0:38:54- Erm...- 10 seconds left.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I can't...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Born in the USA.- Born In The USA, Thunder Road and...
0:39:01 > 0:39:02- Wrecking Ball.- Wrecking Ball.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06OK, there we are. Your time is up.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10We were looking for Bruce Springsteen UK top 40 singles.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11I now need your three answers.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- OK, um, Wrecking Ball. - Wrecking Ball.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- Thunder Road.- Thunder Road. - And Dancing In The Dark?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22And Dancing In The Dark. OK, there we are. Three answers.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Which of those do you think is your best shot?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Wrecking Ball. - I think Wrecking Ball. - OK, Wrecking Ball we'll put last.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Which is your least likely answer?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Dancing In The Dark.- Dancing in the Dark, we'll put first.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35OK, let's pop those on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39We have got Dancing In The Dark, Thunder Road and Wrecking Ball.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43OK, so we are looking for Bruce Springsteen UK top 40 singles.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Dancing In The Dark you said with your least confident shot
0:39:45 > 0:39:47at a pointless answer.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54So, let's see. For £1,000, how many people said Dancing In The Dark?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Well, it's right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01It's right. Down it goes, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:01 > 0:40:06you leave here immediately with £1,000 in your back pockets.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- 20. - APPLAUSE
0:40:08 > 0:40:1020.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14So, unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Leo, what would you do with your £1,000?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I'm about to go travelling in around the states,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25so I'd probably put it towards doing some fun stuff while I'm out there.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Very good. Ross, how about you? - Erm, try and get a holiday.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32I've not been out of the country in a couple of years.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34It would be good to see some nice weather for a change.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- LAUGHS - OK, very good. Well, best of luck.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Let's hope one of these two answers might win it for you.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41We're looking for Bruce Springsteen UK top 40 singles.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Your next answer was Thunder Road.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45This has to be correct,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Let's see, is it right, how many people said Thunder Road?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59It's an incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Everything is now resting on Wrecking Ball.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08We are looking for Bruce Springsteen UK top 40 singles.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Your third and final answer, Wrecking Ball, has to be pointless
0:41:11 > 0:41:14for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Let's find out, Wrecking Ball. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Oh no.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:25 > 0:41:29but you do still get to take home our Pointless trophy,
0:41:29 > 0:41:30so very well done for that.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Unlucky, guys. Not the category for you, after a great show as well.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Thunder Road is just a track on Born To Run, the album.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Not released as a single.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Wrecking Ball is Bruce Springsteen's 2012 number one album,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48but the track itself, Wrecking Ball, not a single.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Certainly up to the beginning of May 2012.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Let's take a look at the pointless answers though.
0:41:53 > 0:41:5657 Channels And Nothin' On was a pointless answer,
0:41:56 > 0:41:57well done if you got that at home.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Lonesome Day, that was his last top 40 hit, up to 2012.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- 2002 was the last time he had a top 40 hit.- Wow.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05A lot of big albums.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07My Hometown, which was double A side
0:42:07 > 0:42:10with Santa Claus Is Coming To Town from the Born In The USA album.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Spare Parts from the Tunnel Of Love album, The Ghost Of Tom Joad,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Tougher Than The Rest
0:42:15 > 0:42:20and his live version of War, the song made famous by Edwin Starr.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Very well done if you said any of those at home. Unlucky, guys.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27We do have to say goodbye to you, Leo and Ross,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31But it's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you for playing. Great contestants.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:37So, Leo and Ross didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:40 > 0:42:43when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44APPLAUSE
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Join us then to see if someone can win it.
