0:00:25 > 0:00:26Thank you very much.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is the quiz show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:31 > 0:00:33to 100 people before the show, and all our contestants
0:00:33 > 0:00:36have to do is come up with the answers those 100 people
0:00:36 > 0:00:37couldn't think of.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's meet today's players.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Welcome back, Paul and Mark.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48This is your second appearance on Pointless.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55This is your final chance. Now, remind us, Paul. What happened?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59It was a word beginning and ending in P.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And I came up with my favourite vegetable, parsnip,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03which did quite well.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Lovely low score. Mark, what did you come up with?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It's fair to say that I was pretty pap in that round
0:01:08 > 0:01:10and I came up with the word pop.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Pop. You'd had the whole round to think, as well, of a really good
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- word beginning and ending with P.- Yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Lovely to have you back on the show, Paul and Mark.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Let's hope to see more of you this time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And next, we welcome Lauren and Sarah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- How do you two know each other? - We're friends from school.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- We've been friends since we were about 12.- Yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I invited myself to her table in the science class.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- You didn't like the people on your table?- No, I didn't like them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Didn't get on with them. - I hope they're not watching!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:43And what do you do, Sarah?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'm a secretary to the Director of Finance
0:01:45 > 0:01:46at the University of Portsmouth.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Very good indeed. How about you, Lauren?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I work at the university, as an admissions officer.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54A coincidence, or you applied deliberately?
0:01:54 > 0:01:55I was there first, for a couple of years...
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And did Lauren come over and say, "Do you mind if I sit
0:01:58 > 0:02:00"with you, because I don't like the people I work with?"
0:02:00 > 0:02:04OK, well, welcome to the show. It's lovely to have you here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Next, we welcome Rebecca and Ben.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Now, how do you two know each other?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We're married. We've been married for four years,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12but we've been together about 15. Yeah, 15 years.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Blimey. That's a long time together, Ben, before you asked.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- It was quite a long time before he proposed.- It was.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21There was a lot of nagging involved along the way.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I would say justly!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah, not just her, all the family.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You know, the subtle pointing at ring fingers and all that nonsense.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31What are you hoping is going to come up today, Rebecca?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Music, but probably, quite specifically, indie music.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Especially from the '90s. That would be good!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- OK.- A bit specific.- Ben?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Yeah, indie music again, but also classics.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Elvis, Beach Boys, Chas and Dave, all your...- Chas and Dave!
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I like that.- I've been waiting for that round.- Well done, you.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- We have had Chas and Dave. - We've done Chas and Dave, yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Oh, my timing's out! - I'm a massive Chas and Dave fan.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I love a bit of Chas and Dave. Right.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, listen, welcome to the show, it's great to have you here.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Finally, we've got Dougie and Kath. How do you know each other?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I'm in a book club with Dougie's wife Carol,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and we also have daughters who are in the same school.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Very good indeed. Where are you from, Dougie?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Originally Glasgow, but I live in Cardiff now.- Very good.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16What do you do, Kath?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I work for the Wales Deanery and Postgraduate Department.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- I'm a Dental Care Professionals tutor.- Very good.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Dougie, how about you? What do you do?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I'm an IT developer.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I work for the Welsh Government currently,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30in one of their IT departments.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Excellent. What do you get up to when you're not doing that?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I sort of like watching quiz shows, especially Pointless.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Good answer. I think they're potential winners.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41LAUGHTER
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Kath, how about you? - Well, book club, obviously.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47We meet on a fairly regular basis.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50And we do read books, contrary to what our husbands say.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52What was the last book the club read?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What was your favourite book?
0:03:54 > 0:04:00- Our last book was SJ Watson's While You Were Sleeping.- Right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Which was quite good.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- So, your husbands don't believe you're reading the books?- No.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Tell me the title of that book again. - Oh, is it wrong?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's something like While You Were Sleeping?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I hope your husband's watching this.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Before I Go To Sleep is the name of the book.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Oh, there we go, close!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20LAUGHTER
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Close.- I tell you what - absolutely busted.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25LAUGHTER
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Very good. So, literature's going to be a great subject for you, Kath.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Absolutely. Perfect for me.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's lovely to have you here, welcome.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He's wearing just his Pointless pants under the desk today,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46with a little P on the front.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I mean, P for Pointless.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Oh, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!- Hiya. Hello.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Should be fun, shouldn't it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14We've only got one returning pair today, that's Paul and Mark.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16But Mark made quite an impression.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He's got a lot of making up to do.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22So, if you get a spectacularly bad answer in round one today, Mark,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25you'll go down in history as one of the worst contestants
0:05:25 > 0:05:26we've ever had.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Do you want that?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:31All of our questions on Pointless have been put
0:05:31 > 0:05:33to 100 people before the show. In order to get to the final round
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and be in with a chance of the jackpot,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37all our contestants need to do is
0:05:37 > 0:05:39find the obscure answers our 100 people couldn't get.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41The fewer of our 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43the fewer points they will score.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Now, what everyone is trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00APPLAUSE
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13In this first round, each of you must give
0:06:13 > 0:06:16an answer, and you can't confer with your partner.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The pair with the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23So try and make sure that's not you. OK, our first category today is...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45..as they could. Richard.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48In 2004, the BBC conducted a poll to find the nation's
0:06:48 > 0:06:51best-loved 100 sitcoms.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55We're looking for any BBC sitcom that made that top 100, please.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Very best of luck.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK. Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Now, Paul and Mark, you all drew lots before the show,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04and you are going to go first.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Mark, you have stepped up.- Yes.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I played it safe last time, so I'm going to give an answer that
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't think is safe, but it might be.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Bread.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Bread. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bread.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Absolutely right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- 2!- Well done, mate.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's a good answer, Mark.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Very well done.
0:07:40 > 0:07:412 for Bread.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well played, Mark. Bread came 39th on the list.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He's like Stuart Pearce, isn't he?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Missed a penalty, but comes straight back up,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49"You know what? I'll take this one."
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Smashes it into the back of the net. Well played.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Thank you.- Lauren.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59What's the most obscure BBC sitcom you can think of?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Think I might go for The Vicar Of Dibley.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Vicar Of Dibley, says Lauren.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Let's see if that's right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10It's right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1614.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Not bad at all. 14 for The Vicar of Dibley.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Good answer, it actually came third in the poll, The Vicar of Dibley.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25OK, Rebecca.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28We're looking for any BBC sitcoms
0:08:28 > 0:08:31in the top 100 of Britain's Best Sitcom.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm going to go for one that I think should be OK.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm going to go for The Good Life.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37How many people remember The Good Life?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Look at that. 5! That's a great answer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Lovely score for The Good Life. - Well played, Rebecca.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54It came number nine on the poll.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Excellent. Now, Kath.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Is this a good category for you? - Sort of.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09But I get confused about which channel they were on,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13so I may say something that wasn't BBC.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And forgive me if I do.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- We'll try.- Thank you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- To The Manor Born? - To The Manor Born, says Kath.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Great answer, let's see if that's right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said To The Manor Born.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh, very well done, Kath!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Only the best score of the round so far!
0:09:42 > 0:09:43To the Manor Born scores you one.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well done. It was 21st on the list. I can tell you've watched it
0:09:46 > 0:09:47because you get the title correct.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49See, that's what happens.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Let's look at the scores.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Kath and Dougie looking extremely strong on just 1.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Then with Mark and Paul with 2,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Rebecca and Ben with 5, and then, who would have thought?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07On 14, way out in front, Lauren and Sarah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Sarah, some pressure on you
0:10:09 > 0:10:12to try and find a really obscure sitcom in the next part.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Best of luck. We're going back down the line.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24OK So, we are looking for...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Drawn up in 2004.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Dougie, you're the low scorers on 1.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33The high scorers are Sarah and Lauren on 14.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, a score of 12 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- What are you thinking?- OK, I'm thinking of one of my favourites.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Yes Minister?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Here is your red line, quite low.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48You get below that red line, you are definitely in the next round.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yes Minister. How many people said it?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Absolutely right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Very well done, Dougie!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04A pointless answer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to...
0:11:09 > 0:11:14It scores you absolutely nothing, and it leaves your total at 1.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Very well done indeed. You are definitely in the next round.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Brilliant answer. What a team. It came sixth on the list.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Again, Paul Eddington.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Now, then. Ben and Rebecca, you are on 5.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The high scorers remain Sarah and Lauren on 14.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33So, that means a score of 8 or less will keep you in the game for sure.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I'll go with The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. How many people said it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Absolutely right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Yes, well done!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Oh, fabulous, Ben! Very well done.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Another pointless answer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57That adds another £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to...
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Scores you nothing.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Leaves your total at an impressive 5. Very well done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Brilliant, very well played. It came 35th on the list.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Very good indeed.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Sarah, as I've said a couple of times,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14you are the high scorers, on 14.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17What we need from you is another pointless answer, ideally,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20to add a bother £250 to the jackpot and also,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23maybe, try and safeguard your place in the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I'm going to go with one of my favourites.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28And we nickname my mum after this character, as well.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I'm going to go with Keeping Up Appearances.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Let's hope Keeping Up Appearances will be a lovely low score for you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's see how many people said it. Keeping Up Appearances.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40It's right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh! Very well done, Sarah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Almost pointless.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53But a lovely low score, all the same.
0:12:53 > 0:12:551 for Keeping Up Appearances takes your total up to 15.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Terrific answer. Kept yourself in the round, possibly, there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Came number 12 on the list, Keeping Up Appearances.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Now, Paul. You're on 2.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06The high scorers remain Sarah and Lauren on 15.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07So, a score of 12 or less...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I know lots and lots of sitcoms,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12but whether it's 12 or less is another matter.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18I'm going to go for Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22The longest-running sitcom in British history.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24LAUGHTER
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You want to score 12 or less, this is what 12 or less looks like.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29There's your red line.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33How many people said it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Oh, you've done it!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You've done it. 7!
0:13:45 > 0:13:497 for Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Takes your total up to 9. Very well done. Richard.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Well played, Paul. There's only one sitcom that would have
0:13:54 > 0:13:58scored too many points - Only Fools And Horses, which would have scored 41.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Vicar of Dibley's actually the second highest scoring
0:14:01 > 0:14:02answer in the list.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So, 14 was actually a dangerously high score.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Let's look at some of the pointless answers, because
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'm sure people will have got all sorts of different ones at home.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Coupling, the Steven Moffat sitcom, is in that top 100.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Citizen Smith, written by John Sullivan. There's Yes Minister.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Dinnerladies, written by and starring the wonderful Victoria Wood.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24That was a pointless answer. Hancock's Half Hour, pointless.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Till Death Us Do Part, also a pointless answer.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm sure people at home would have got some of these.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The Brittas Empire in the top 100 there.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's interesting that the top 100 sitcoms poll,
0:14:37 > 0:14:38we know that Vicar Of Dibley
0:14:38 > 0:14:41was the third most popular British sitcom.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Do you know what else was in the top five?- Only Fools And Horses.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Only Fools And Horses was number one, absolutely.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- The fifth was Fawlty Towers. - Of course, yes.- Fourth, Dad's Army.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Yes.- Third, Vicar Of Dibley, as we know. And second, Blackadder.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Of course.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Only Fools And Horses, top of that poll, and top of our poll, as well.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Thanks, Richard.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03So, at the end of the first round, the pair who are going
0:15:03 > 0:15:04to be leaving us now,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I'm afraid, are Sarah and Lauren.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Not a bad score at all.
0:15:07 > 0:15:1115, cracking total. Can't fault you at all.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13That was very well played.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We look forward to seeing you next time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17But meanwhile, thanks for playing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Sarah and Lauren. Lovely contestants.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Only two pairs can go into our head-to-head round,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Very little between you there in that last round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Paul, what do you think? Did Mark redeem himself there?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Yes, I'll let him be my friend again.- OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49With Bread, a good answer.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51That ain't bread.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That's toast.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Getting there. It's good.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58That's a catchphrase we came up with a couple of shows ago.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59That is a catchphrase we devised.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Sometimes we do a bit of audience call-back with it, don't we?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- So you would say...- That ain't bread!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- AUDIENCE:- That's toast.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- It's good, isn't it? - What do you think?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Fantastic.- Very good.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Sometimes the audience says, "That ain't bread,"
0:16:13 > 0:16:14and I go, "That's toast."
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Can we try that?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- AUDIENCE:- That ain't bread! - That's toast.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER It's really working, isn't it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21It's brilliant. OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32who's going second?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39OK, our question concerns...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Richard.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Yes, on each pass we're going to give you
0:16:47 > 0:16:49six clues to famous towns or cities in France.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Give a nice, obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Give us an incorrect answer, though, it's going to be 100 points.
0:16:55 > 0:16:5812 towns and cities in France in all for you to get at home. Good luck.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00OK, thank you very much.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05So, we are looking for these towns and cities in France described thus.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06And we have...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'll read all of those one more time.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53There we are. Six clues to towns and cities in France.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Obviously, you need to find the town or city that you think
0:17:57 > 0:18:00the fewest of our 100 people would recognise from those descriptions. Mark.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03We read St Joan, the play, for A-level,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06which was about 22 years ago now.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12So I'm going to pluck a guess out of thin air and say Lille.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15OK, let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Lille.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- I expected that.- Bad luck.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I'm afraid that's incorrect,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27which means you scored the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Not Lille, I'm afraid, Mark.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32We'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Now, Rebecca.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I'm going to have to go for the only one that I think is right,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I'm afraid.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Which is, hopefully, the Burgundy capital famous for mustard.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Dijon.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Dijon, says Rebecca.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people knew that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Absolutely right, well done, Rebecca.
0:18:55 > 0:18:5632.
0:18:59 > 0:19:0132.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Yes, very good answer. Certainly better than 100.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Now then, Kath. You're the last person to have this board.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11If you like, you can talk us through it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14There won't be much to say, I'm afraid.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19I'm going to try and guess that "The first 24 hour car race held here
0:19:19 > 0:19:21"in 1923" is Monte Carlo?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24OK, you're going to say Monte Carlo
0:19:24 > 0:19:26for "The first 24 hour car race held here in 1923".
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Was it Monte Carlo...in France?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Oh, bad luck, Kath.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Sorry. Richard.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Yeah, the 24-hour car race,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50one of the most famous car races in the world, Le Mans.
0:19:50 > 0:19:5144, that would have scored you.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Let's take a look through the rest of them.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Official seat of the European Parliament, Xander?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's in Alsace.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Oh, Strasbourg.- Absolutely right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Would have scored you 18. Joan of Arc wasn't executed in Lille.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I was going to say Orleans, but...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think a lot of people would have said Orleans.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13She was executed in Rouen. It's the best answer on the board, as well.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16One point, that would have got you.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Home to Popes in the 14th and 15th centuries?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Briefly moved out of Rome and went to Avignon, which would have scored 4.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Now, everybody knows the answer to this other one.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26The wording of the question might have confused you,
0:20:26 > 0:20:27but you all know it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It's Dunkerque.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Dunkerque, that was Operation Dynamo, and would have scored 13 points.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Let's have a look at those scores.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Only two scores between the three of you, as it turns out.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Rebecca and Ben looking extremely strong on 32.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46But yeah, Kath and Dougie, Mark and Paul, both of you on 100.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, Dougie and Paul, it's between you two,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I think, to scrap it out, to see who stays
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and who leaves at the end of this round.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55We're going back down the line.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Second players, please take your places.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03We've got six more clues to French towns
0:21:03 > 0:21:05and cities on the board.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And here they come. We have got...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'll read those all again.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Now, remember. We are looking for the towns
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and cities in France that are described by these clues.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And you're trying to find the one that
0:21:52 > 0:21:54the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Dougie, you're the joint high scorers on 100,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59so we need a lovely low score from you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03OK, there's some of them I think I know, but I'm not 100% sure of,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07so I'll go for one that I'm pretty confident about.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The film festival is Cannes.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The Cannes Film Festival, says Dougie. Let's see. Is it right?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15How many people knew it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:2242.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2942, that scores you. It takes your score up to 142.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Let's hope that's good enough to see you through.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Well played, Dougie. Cannes was originally a tiny fishing village, and it's actually
0:22:35 > 0:22:39the British aristocracy who made it popular in the 19th century.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Now, Ben.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- We're through. Are we through? - Do you know what?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- You are through. This is good news. - That's what I was thinking.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Sorry, I should perhaps have said that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49The high scorers on 142 are
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Dougie and Kath. You're on 32.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Even if you score 100 points, you're still through to the head-to-head.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59In which case, I can have a guess.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I will guess that the place that gave its name
0:23:03 > 0:23:06to the capital of Vermont was the town of Brest.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Brest.- I know they have a football team, so I know it exists.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And that's as far as my French knowledge.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Admit you just wanted to say "Brest".
0:23:17 > 0:23:18LAUGHTER
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Come on, who hasn't wanted to say "Brest" on TV?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- And then we can get on with the show.- Yes.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Let's see how many people said Brest, if it's right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34An incorrect answer, as it turns out, you won't be surprised to hear.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 132,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but you are through to the next round.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Paul, you are the last person to have this board.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46The high scorers are 142, Dougie and Kath.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You want to be scoring 41 or less.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50How good is your knowledge of France?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Mona Lisa is obviously Paris.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I think the location of the grotto is Lourdes, but I'm going to
0:23:57 > 0:24:02go for the Winter Olympics, and I think it might be Chamonix.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06OK, Chamonix. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Good work, Paul! Chamonix is a correct answer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15And it sees you through, very well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:183!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Very, very well done indeed, Paul.
0:24:22 > 0:24:253 for Chamonix takes your total up to 103 and it sees you
0:24:25 > 0:24:26into the head-to-head.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Brilliant play, Paul.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32All three of your answers would have seen you through to the next round.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You're right about the Mona Lisa being on display in Paris.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36That would have scored you 39 points.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And you're right that St Bernadette had her visions at Lourdes.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42And that would have scored you 17.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The first Concorde flight, do you know where that's from?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Le Havre.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's not from Le Havre. It's from Toulouse. Toulouse.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Well done if you said that, 12 points.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Gave its name to the capital of Vermont -
0:24:53 > 0:24:56there is a town in Vermont called Brest. There is Brest, Vermont.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Place that gave its name is Montpellier.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02There you go.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07At the end of that round, the losing pair with
0:25:07 > 0:25:08the highest score, Dougie and Kath.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yes, Monte Carlo let you down.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Anyway, we look forward to seeing you next time,
0:25:13 > 0:25:14when I'm sure you will triumph.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Meantime, thanks very much for playing.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:21 > 0:25:26For the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Congratulations, Paul and Mark, Rebecca and Ben.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38You are now only one round away from the final, and the chance
0:25:38 > 0:25:42to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,500.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44APPLAUSE
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Now, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55It's been a bit of a swings-and-roundabouts game.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Paul, Mark did very well with Bread in the first round, and then Neil!
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I mean, listen. You'd just redeemed yourself and you're right back in the doghouse.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- I know, I know.- And Ben.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10You gave us one of our two pointless answers in the first round.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11I didn't get where I am today
0:26:11 > 0:26:14without knowing a good answer when I see one.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Yes, very good. The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin, obviously.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20So, who knows? You're now allowed to confer, so anything can happen.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It's going to be a very exciting head-to-head. Let's play it!
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Richard.- Yep, that's it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41We're going to show you five photographs now
0:26:41 > 0:26:43of famous people called Sean.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Can you identify the most obscure of these, please? Very best of luck.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five Seans.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Here they come. We have got...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07There we are. Five famous Seans.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Paul and Mark, as you played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13you get to go first.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16THEY WHISPER
0:27:16 > 0:27:20We're going to take a slight chance on E.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Sean Young.- Sean Young?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26So, Paul and Mark, Sean Young for E.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Rebecca and Ben.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34A and C, we know. A is Sean Penn and C is Sean Connery.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38B we think might be Sean Paul, but we don't know.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40He's a bit too trendy for us.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44So, we're going to go with D, which is Sean Austin.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48You're going for D, Sean Austin.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53OK, so we have Paul and Mark saying that E is Sean Young.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58let's see how many of our 100 people knew Sean Young was E.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Absolutely right.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Now, where's it going to stop?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Look at that, fantastic!
0:28:07 > 0:28:093, that's a great answer.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Rebecca and Ben, you have said that D is Sean Austin.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23This has to be right, and it has to go lower than 3
0:28:23 > 0:28:25if you're going to win this question.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28OK, Sean Austin, is it right? How many people said it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Oh.- An incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Which means after only one question, Paul and Mark are 1-0 up. Richard.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Most memorable from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but it's Sean Aston.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Aston, oh.- Not Austin. Would have scored 4 points.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- So would have been exciting, but it's all lost.- Yeah, that's OK.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Sean Young, very good answer.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Probably most famous for Blade Runner. No Way Out, as well, a much underrated film.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Let's go through the rest. We've heard all the answers, actually.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02A is Sean Penn.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Would have scored 50 points. You were absolutely right about B,
0:29:05 > 0:29:06it is Sean Paul.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11He'd have scored you 12 points, so again, wouldn't have won the point.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Sean Connery is C.
0:29:12 > 0:29:1687 points. Sean Young, best answer.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Rebecca and Ben, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Best of luck. Our second question concerns...
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Richard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34We're going to show you the titles of five works by Thomas Hardy,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37but we're only going to give you the initials.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Can you give us the name of the work, please? Pick the most obscure.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44OK, let's reveal our five Hardy works in initial form.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Here they are. We've got...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I'll read those one final time.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Rebecca and Ben, you go first.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13THEY WHISPER
0:30:13 > 0:30:17We'll go with TW.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19The Woodlanders.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23The Woodlanders, you are saying. TW, The Woodlanders.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Paul and Mark. You can talk us through the board, if you like.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Um, I think the top one is The Mayor Of Casterbridge.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34The third one is Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36JTO is Jude The Obscure.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40We'll go for The Mayor Of Casterbridge, the top one.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42You're going to go for the top one, TMOC.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So we have TW, The Woodlanders, from Rebecca and Ben.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48This is the point you have to win. Let's see if The Woodlanders will do it for you.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50How many people said it? Is it right?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Yep, it's right.
0:31:01 > 0:31:033.
0:31:06 > 0:31:073 for The Woodlanders.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10The tables are turned on Paul and Mark,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13it's exactly the position they put you in last question.
0:31:13 > 0:31:153 is the score you've got to beat.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Paul and Mark have gone for The Mayor Of Casterbridge.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Will it go lower than 3?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28It's right.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30How far down is it going to go?
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Still going down.
0:31:31 > 0:31:323 is where it has to go.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Oh! 15.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Very exciting indeed. After two questions, it's one point apiece.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46A very high-quality head-to-head, guys. Well played, both teams.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Woodlanders said to be Hardy's favourite of his novels.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54One answer up there would have beaten it, which we'll get to in a moment.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57FFTMC, absolutely right, Mark, Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Would have scored you 28. You're right about JTO, as well.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03That's Jude The Obscure. Would have scored you 13.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07He'd have loved Pointless, wouldn't he, Jude The Obscure?!
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Would have been his favourite show!
0:32:08 > 0:32:13APOBE is the best answer on the board. Any idea about that?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- It's A Pair Of Blue Eyes.- It is! Would have scored 1 point.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Very well done if you got that one at home.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Good stuff. Now, here comes our third and final question.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25The decider, if you like.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Here it comes. It concerns...
0:32:34 > 0:32:39We're going to give you five clues to facts about Queen Elizabeth II.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Best of luck to both teams. - OK, here it comes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Whoever wins this question goes through to the final.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Here are five facts about the Queen. And they are...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21OK, there we are. Five clues to facts about the Queen.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Paul and Mark, you go first this time.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27THEY WHISPER
0:33:29 > 0:33:32We're going to take another slight punt here.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Go for the designer of her wedding dress. Cecil Beaton.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41You're going to say Cecil Beaton, the designer of her wedding dress.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Rebecca and Ben.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47I think we'll play it relatively safe
0:33:47 > 0:33:51and just have to hope that you don't know your dress designers.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Husband's country of birth, we think, is Greece.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59OK, Greece, you're going to say for her husband's country of birth.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02OK. Paul and Mark have said Cecil Beaton was the designer
0:34:02 > 0:34:05of the Queen's wedding dress.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Cecil Beaton.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Not Cecil Beaton.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Rebecca and Ben, all you have to be is correct
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and you are through to the final.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Country of birth of her husband, Prince Philip.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28You say it was Greece. Is it right? That's all we need to know.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Is it right?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Yes!
0:34:32 > 0:34:34You've done it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Scores 44,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40but all it had to be was correct.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43And it was, which means after three questions, Ben and Rebecca,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Richard.- It's tough luck. Paul and Mark played very well.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52The designer of the Queen's dress was actually Norman Hartnell.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Well done if you said that at home, would have scored you 13 points.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59The name of her only daughter is, of course, Anne.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01That would have scored 70.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- The year of Annus Horribilis is 1992.- '92!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06That would have scored you 6 points.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Do you remember the name of the intruder who broke into her bedroom?
0:35:10 > 0:35:11- No.- Michael Fagan.- Oh, yes!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Everybody remembers the name when you say it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Everybody.- Michael Fagan.
0:35:16 > 0:35:182 points. Such a huge story at the time, wasn't it?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22It's just one of those names that passes into history,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- but every time you hear it, you know who he is.- Absolutely.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Well done if you got all five of those at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31So, the pair at the end of the head-to-head who'll be
0:35:31 > 0:35:33leaving us, I'm afraid, is Paul and Mark.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Creditable performance.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Sean Young was a cracking answer. Mayor of Casterbridge...
0:35:37 > 0:35:39If they hadn't known The Woodlanders,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41you'd have been in with a really good chance there.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45But I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Thanks so much for playing.- Goodbye.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54But for Rebecca and Ben, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Congratulations, Rebecca. Ben. You have seen off all the competition
0:36:03 > 0:36:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:16 > 0:36:20and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,500.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22APPLAUSE
0:36:24 > 0:36:26The rules are very simple. To win the money,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33We've had two on the show so far, one of them provided by you, Ben.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Find one more now and you will leave with that jackpot.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Firstly you've got to choose a category,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42and you've got a choice of five options. They are...
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Maybe rock stars. But we'll be much better at footballers.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- We will, won't we?- Yeah.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- We'll go footballers. - Footballers it is.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Yeah, we have to go for it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01OK, there we are. Let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Richard.- We're looking for any footballer who played in the 2010 World Cup final
0:37:14 > 0:37:16between Spain and the Netherlands.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Anyone who came on as a substitute will count.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Unused substitutes don't. So, anyone who played in that match. Best of luck.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29All you need to win that £3,500 is
0:37:29 > 0:37:32for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Are you ready?- Yep.- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- I think your fella played, Andre Ooijer.- Did he?- Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Giovanni van Bronckhorst. - OK, we'll go for Ooijer, then.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Fernando Llorente might have come out,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50he was the sub throughout the tournament.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- We've got the obvious ones. We don't want the obvious ones.- No.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Can you remember who came on as a substitute?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58No, no, I don't remember the actual game
0:37:58 > 0:38:00apart from all the kicking and fouling.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02There was... Stekelenburg would have been in goal,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I can't remember his first name.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09Err...and then the Spanish team's much more famous. Apart from possibly Llorente and...
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- What's his first name?- Pedro. He might have come on as a sub.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Is he called Javier Pedro?- Yeah. - I'm not sure.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Fernando Llorente, I know his first name.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18I'm not sure of Pedro's first name.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Shall we go Andre?- Andre Ooijer. Do you think Giovanni van Bronckhorst?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- But he's quite well-known. - Yeah, he's more well-known.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29De Jong, Sneijder, van der Vaart. Er....
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Ten seconds.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- I'll leave it to you.- Shall we take the punt on Llorente, as the punt?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Yeah, let's just take the punt.- Whatever.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Yeah, but I'll leave it to you.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41OK, there we are.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Your time is up just as you seem to have arrived at your three.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46We are looking for...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I now need your three answers.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57OK, our safest answer will be Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02And then, I think, Andre Ooijer.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Andre Ooijer.
0:39:04 > 0:39:10And then take a punt on a Spanish substitute, Fernando Llorente.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Fernando Llorente. OK, now of those three,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- Ooijer?- I think Andre Ooijer. - Andre Ooijer, we'll put him last.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- And what about your least likely? - Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27OK, we'll put him first.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30OK, let's pop them up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:39:36 > 0:39:37So, we were looking for footballers
0:39:37 > 0:39:40who played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Your first answer was Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46You said this was your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49He's quite well-known in the UK, playing for Arsenal and Rangers.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51So, people are more likely to remember him.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- More likely to stick in people's memories?- Yeah.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Well you only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59to win that jackpot of £3,500.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- What would you do with £3,500, Rebecca?- I don't know.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05We love travelling, so probably spend it travelling, on a holiday.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- Erm, I've not thought about winning the money, actually!- Yeah.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10I'm going to buy a cabinet
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- for our trophy. - LAUGHTER
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Yes. And that.- One with lights on, to shine down. Fancy.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Listen, Ben, I can tell you, in however many Pointlesses we've done,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22that is the best answer I have had to that question.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Of course, a cabinet. Very good.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Right, your first answer was Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35This is your first shot at that jackpot of £3,500.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41It's right.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44I think you knew that anyhow.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46How far down is he going to go?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49You thought round about now he might stop...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Still going down!
0:40:51 > 0:40:52You've done it! Wow!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Wow, first answer, what about that!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Straight out of the tracks, that's superb!
0:41:09 > 0:41:14Wow. That was a Pointless answer. Many, many congratulations.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Which means you are leaving here with the jackpot of £3,500.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Thank you very much.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Very, very, very well done indeed. Richard?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Well played, Rebecca and Ben. It was a very strong show,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33and you were the strongest of the strong there.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Giovanni van Bronckhorst spent a lot of time in British football.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Also, he was the Dutch captain, but was a pointless answer.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41You put him first because your other two were more obscure.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Both of those other answers were incorrect.- Oh! - AUDIENCE GASPS
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Neither Llorente or Ooijer played in the final.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51So, lucky that van Bronckhorst did, and that he was pointless.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Couple of other things you said
0:41:54 > 0:41:56in your deliberations were pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Pedro, you said, and you were also talking about the Dutch goalkeeper, Stekelenburg.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Maarten?- Maarten Stekelenburg was a pointless answer as well. Well done if you said him.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Let's look at some of the other pointless answers,
0:42:07 > 0:42:08starting with the most obscure.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Edson Braafheid, who was the Dutch substitute in extra time.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13There's Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The Spanish fullback Joan Capdevila is a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19John Heitinga, who plays for Everton, was a pointless answer.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Joris Mathijsen. There's Maarten Stekelenburg, the Dutch goalie.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Pedro. Rafael van der Vaart, the Spurs player.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30And also Sergio Busquets. So, two very big names there.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Also could have had Gregory van der Wiel, also a pointless answer.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Very well done if you got any of those at home.- Thanks very much.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Well, you knew quite a few of those. But, who cares?!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Many, many congratulations. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Thanks once again to our winning players, Rebecca and Ben,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49who go away with today's jackpot of £3,500.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
