0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thanks very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29This is the quiz show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:29 > 0:00:31to 100 people before the show and all our contestants
0:00:31 > 0:00:34have to do is come up with answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, first up, we welcome Mark and Wendy.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Now, how do you two know each other, Mark?- We're colleagues.- Colleagues?
0:00:46 > 0:00:52- Where do you work together?- We work for an online motoring website.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55What's going to help you hit your numbers on Pointless today, Mark?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58What's going to be a great category for you?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm quite a bit of a thrill seeker.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I've been known to skydive a few times.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04How many times have you skydived?
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- About nine.- Blimey.- Yeah, I was training to get my licence.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Didn't quite get there.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What, you stopped halfway down?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15No, I made it to the ground every time.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Pointless is my thrill this year. - Excellent.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, listen, a warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Very, very best of luck. Next, we welcome back David and Chris.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You were on the show last time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless Final. This is your second and final chance.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32David, how do you two know each other?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Chris is my brother and I'm his role model, I think.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39David, what do you hope is going to come up today?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm good on Spiderman. Spiderman is good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Superheroes, anything beginning with S. I am good at S.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Excellent. Chris, how about you?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Anything else you'd like to see or anything you'd particularly
0:01:51 > 0:01:52not like to see?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Politics probably not a great area. - Right, OK.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Anyway, very best of luck, David and Chris.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Next, we welcome back Chris and Rebecca who were also on the show last time.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Now, Chris, remind us how you know each other.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Husband and wife. Married for about 11 years now.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08And you had a shocker last time.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10People kept nicking our answers ahead of us.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- That's what it was. - It's all their fault.- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Yes. Well, it usually is.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Now, Chris, remind us what you do. - I'm a wealth adviser.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21A wealth adviser. And, Rebecca, remind us what you do.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I'm a singing teacher and elocution teacher.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Singing and elocution. But you've been an opera singer.- I have.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Anything you are particularly hoping doesn't come up?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32British politics and '90s British pop.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, well very, very best of luck, Chris and Rebecca.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Lovely having you back on the show.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And finally, Matthew and Kieron. Now, how do you two know each other?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- We're old school friends. - Right you are.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46What would be the dream category for you, Kieron?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Music would be a good one for me.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Anything you're dreading coming up, Matthew?- For me, probably politics.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK, well, very, very best of luck to you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It's great to have you on the show. Hope you enjoy it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00We'll find out more about all of you as we go along.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05After years as a criminal mastermind,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08he's finally using his intelligence for good.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13CHEERING
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- I still keep my hand in, though. - Yeah, I was going to say.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Two returning pairs. Neither got to the head-to-head last time, so difficult
0:03:24 > 0:03:25to call who'll win this one.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Should be a very open contest, I suspect.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But, you know, made much easier by the fact that everyone's
0:03:30 > 0:03:31going to love question one.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Looking forward to that. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38In order to get to the Final Round
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and have a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:03:42 > 0:03:44our 100 people didn't get.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46So, the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:03:46 > 0:03:47the fewer points you score.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49What everyone is trying to do, of course,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51is to find a pointless answer.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave and each time
0:03:54 > 0:03:56that happens we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Right, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:04:22 > 0:04:25will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30OK, our category for Round One today is...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, that's fine. UK politics.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Can you decide, in your pairs, who's going to
0:04:34 > 0:04:37go first and who's going to go second?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46OK, our Round One question concerns...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Ministers of State, Richard.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53In a moment, Xander will show you a list
0:04:53 > 0:04:56of the four Great Offices of State in British politics.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I need you to give us the name of anyone who's held any of those
0:05:00 > 0:05:03positions from the very first Cabinet formed after the 1979 election
0:05:03 > 0:05:06all the way through to the first Cabinet formed after 2010.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And where anyone has held more than one,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11we'll only accept their name once. Very best of luck.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Mark and Wendy,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17you all drew lots before the show and today you're going first.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Here are our four Cabinet posts. They are...
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Now, remember we are looking for any politician who has held
0:05:30 > 0:05:34one of these Great Offices of State since 1979.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Obviously, you're trying
0:05:35 > 0:05:38to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people could name.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Mark.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Geoffrey Howe.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44"Geoffrey Howe," says Mark. Let's see if that's right and,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Geoffrey Howe.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Absolutely right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Very well done, Mark. Lovely low score of six for Geoffrey Howe.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Good answer, Mark. Well played. No mucking about with Mark, is there?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Ask a question, he just goes, "Geoffrey Howe."
0:06:13 > 0:06:15He was Chancellor from '79 to '83
0:06:15 > 0:06:18nd then he was Foreign Secretary from '83 to '89.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20There we are. Chris.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well, as we know, great subject for me, this.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm going to take a punt at
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Douglas Hurd.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30"Douglas Hurd," says Chris L. Let's see if that's right and,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Absolutely right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Three for Douglas Hurd.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Good answer. He was Foreign Secretary from '89 to '95.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57He lost a leadership election as well in 1990.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Now then, Rebecca, you particularly asked for this question, I know.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Um...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07David Miliband.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10David Miliband. Let's see if that's right
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Wow. One.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Wow.- There you go.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Wow. One.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yeah, how about that for name recognition
0:07:33 > 0:07:34for David Miliband?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Became the youngest Foreign Secretary for 30 years in 2007.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Now, Kieron. The most obscure politician who's held one of these
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Great Offices of State.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well, I think cos of the scores we've just had, I'm going to have to
0:07:48 > 0:07:50try and go a little bit more obscure than I was planning to.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I think he was Foreign Secretary. I'm going to say Jack Straw.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56"Jack Straw," says Kieron.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Let's see that's right
0:07:57 > 0:08:01and, if it is, let's see how many people said, "Jack Straw."
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Absolutely right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Jack Straw.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Scoring you 12.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17He was Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20He is one of only three men to have served throughout
0:08:20 > 0:08:22the whole of that Labour administration.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I won't say who the others are cos they're also answers.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Thanks very much, Richard. We are halfway through the round.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Rebecca and Chris P looking exceedingly strong there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Very, very good answering skills from you, Rebecca.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Then up to 3 where we find Chris and David.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Up to 6 were we find Mark and Wendy
0:08:40 > 0:08:42then double that up to 12
0:08:42 > 0:08:45where we find Kieron and Matthew.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Matthew, little bit
0:08:46 > 0:08:48of pressure on you to find a good, low score
0:08:48 > 0:08:49in the next pass. Good luck.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Let's hope it keeps you in the game.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52We're going to come back down the line.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59OK, so we are looking for politicians
0:08:59 > 0:09:04who have held these Offices of State since 1979.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Now then, Matthew, you are the high scorers on 12.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I'm going to go risky. I'm going to go for
0:09:11 > 0:09:13David Blunkett.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15David Blunkett. Let's see if that's right and,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19if it is, let's see how many people said, "David Blunkett."
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Well done, Matthew. Good answer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Very, very well done indeed. It's exactly what you had to do.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That takes your total up to 16.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Good answer. Worth the risk.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39He was forced to leave the Cabinet twice, David Blunkett.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41His guide dog Lucy once vomited, as well,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43during a speech by David Willetts
0:09:43 > 0:09:45in the House of Commons.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- That's a tough crowd.- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Now then, Chris, great answering from Rebecca in the last pass
0:09:51 > 0:09:53means that you are the low scorers on one.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The high scorers on 16 are Matthew and Kieron.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58If you can score 14 or less,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01you are into the next round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Yeah, not good. Weakest subject.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Definitely. A name is popping into my head.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I think it's too current, but I'm going to go with William Hague.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12William Hague, you're going to go for. There is your red line.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Below that red line,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16you are through to the next round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19William Hague. How many people said that?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Wow. Seven.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33You are through to the next round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Got off lightly there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I was thinking that would stop in the 40s, maybe.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yeah, well,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43William Hague is the current Foreign Secretary.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Named by seven of 100 people.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well done, Chris, you're through
0:10:47 > 0:10:48to the next round. Now, David.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Thanks to lovely low scoring from Chris in the first pass,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55you are now on three. the high scorers remain
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Matthew and Kieron on 16. 12 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, I thought it were a good subject when it came up.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'm struggling. I'm hoping I've got the name right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I'm going to go with Norman Lamont. - "Norman Lamont," says David.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Norman Lamont. Let's see if that's right
0:11:10 > 0:11:12and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15There is your red line. Below that red line,
0:11:15 > 0:11:16you're through to the next round.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Absolutely right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Very well done indeed.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Two for Norman Lamont takes your total up to
0:11:32 > 0:11:36the lowest score of the entire round - five.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37All low-scoring stuff, isn't it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Yeah, Norman Lamont was Chancellor of the Exchequer for a few years.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43He was chancellor on Black Wednesday.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Wendy, you are on six.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The high scorers on 16 are Matthew and Kieron.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51There might be a pointless answer there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Go on, Wendy.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'm going to say
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Geoff Hoon.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00"Geoff Hoon," says Wendy.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Geoff Hoon. OK. Here is your Red Line.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's low. If you get below that
0:12:06 > 0:12:09with Geoff Hoon you're through to the next round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Geoff Hoon. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Bad luck, Wendy. He hasn't held
0:12:20 > 0:12:22one of these Offices of State.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24That scores you the maximum of 100 points
0:12:24 > 0:12:26and takes your total up to an unbeatable 106.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Yeah, sorry, Wendy. A good wrong answer, if you like. He was
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Defence Secretary and Transport Secretary,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35but never held one of these positions.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37For the most important jobs in British politics,
0:12:37 > 0:12:38there are seven pointless answers.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I suspect some people at home got some of these.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Let's take a look at them.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I'll start with two Labour Home Secretaries.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Alan Johnson and Charles Clarke. Both very recent. David Waddington
0:12:47 > 0:12:49was a Tory Home Secretary. Now Lord Waddington.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Francis Pym who was Foreign Secretary during the Falklands.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Kenneth Baker was Home Secretary
0:12:55 > 0:12:58He was portrayed as a snail on Spitting Image, Kenneth Baker.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02A lot of those guys got very famous through Spitting Image, didn't they?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Yeah.- Although not THAT famous, it turns out.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Malcolm Rifkind was Foreign Secretary from '95 to '97.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14And Margaret Beckett was also Foreign Secretary 2006 to 2007.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17All of those pointless. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Shall we look at the most popular answers?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24These are the worst answers you could have given, essentially.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27David Cameron with 40.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Good work, the other 60.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Wow.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Yeah, he scored 40.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Then, next up was Gordon Brown
0:13:37 > 0:13:41with 41. Do you remember Gordon Brown?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And, top of the pile. The most memorable of all
0:13:45 > 0:13:48the politicians, do you think, from the last 30-odd years?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I'm guessing it's Margaret Thatcher.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- It's Tony Blair.- Tony Blair. - Tony Blair would have scored you 49.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Margaret Thatcher would have scored 38 and John Major 33.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59How soon they forget.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03At the end of our first round,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06the pair who are going to be leaving us, there,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08with the highest score, I'm afraid, Mark and Wendy.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You did exactly the right thing trying to find
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- a low-scoring answer. - Yeah, that's right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15But no problem with your knowledge of political people.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Anyway, we'll have to say goodbye
0:14:17 > 0:14:19to you now. I'm very, very sorry. We'll see you again next time
0:14:19 > 0:14:21when I have no doubt you'll do much better.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Meanwhile, Wendy and Mark -
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- great contestants. Thanks very much. - Thank you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30But, for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Obviously, there's only going to be room for two pairs
0:14:38 > 0:14:43in the head-to-head round, so one of the pairs in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That was hilarious. The three couples
0:14:45 > 0:14:48who said they really didn't want any politics
0:14:48 > 0:14:52are the three still here. And really low scores there.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09OK, the question concerns...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Richard.- On each pass I'm going to give you
0:15:15 > 0:15:17six descriptions of fictional characters who were
0:15:17 > 0:15:21orphaned as children. Can you tell us who the descriptions refer to?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points and, as always,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25an incorrect answer is 100 points.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27See how many of these 12 you can get at home.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29OK, thanks very much.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33We are looking for the fictional orphans described by these clues.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34And we have got...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15There we are. Six clues to six orphans.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Obviously, you're trying to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- David. How's about that for a board of orphans?- It's rubbish.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I'm going to go with, 'His title is Viscount Greystoke'
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- and I'm going to go with Tarzan. - "Tarzan," says David.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41It's right.
0:16:48 > 0:16:5135 for Tarzan.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yes, more famous than John Major, it turns out.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Tarzan is his ape name given to him by the apes who raise him.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Rebecca.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yes. I know a few of these.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Just a question of which one
0:17:07 > 0:17:10is going to be most... Closest to a pointless answer.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So, I'm going to go with,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16'He likes to eat liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti' -
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Hannibal Lecter.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20"Hannibal Lecter," says Rebecca. Hannibal Lecter.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26It's right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:3136.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- 36 for Hannibal Lecter. - Well played again.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Nearly as famous as Margaret Thatcher,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Hannibal Lecter.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Now then, Kieron.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45You're the last person to have this board so you can talk us through it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- Fill in all the blanks. - OK, the two I knew have gone.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I think I know one more
0:17:53 > 0:17:55just from watching the films
0:17:55 > 0:17:59so I think, 'The Godfather played by Marlon Brando'
0:17:59 > 0:18:00is Vito Corleone.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03"Vito Corleone," says Kieron.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Let's see that's right and,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's right.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18There we are. 10.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Very well played, Kieron.
0:18:22 > 0:18:2510 for Vito Corleone.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Well done, Kieron. First appeared in Mario Puzo's the Godfather in 1969.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31His parents killed by a local Mafia boss in Sicily.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34He was furious about it.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yeah. Yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Let's fill in the rest. Do you want to have a go?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The 'Man of Steel' born on the planet Krypton?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42That'll be Superman.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Absolutely right. It's actually the biggest scorer there. 63 points.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Reader, she married Mr Rochester. - That'll be Jane Eyre.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Jane Eyre. Exactly right. Would have scored 19.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And 'He is taken in by Betsey Trotwood.'
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That will be David Copperfield.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56David Copperfield. Best answer there. Six points.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well done if you said that.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Thanks very much. Let's take a look
0:19:00 > 0:19:03at the scores halfway through the round. 10 from Kieron.
0:19:04 > 0:19:1010. Very, very well done with Vito Corleone there.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Then up to 35. Quite a hike up there to David and Chris.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And then just up a squeak to 36 where we find Rebecca and Chris.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21So, yes, Chris and Chris - it's going to be a battle
0:19:21 > 0:19:23between the P and the L to see who stays and
0:19:23 > 0:19:26who leaves at the end of this round. Best of luck. We're going to
0:19:26 > 0:19:31come back down the line. Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36OK, we are going to put six more clues on the board. Here they come.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37We have got...
0:19:50 > 0:19:51I'll read them one last time.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06There we are. Remember, we are looking for
0:20:06 > 0:20:09the fictional orphans described by these clues.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Obviously, you're going to try
0:20:10 > 0:20:13and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Matthew. Brilliant answering skills
0:20:15 > 0:20:19from Kieron in the first pass leave you with 10.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20A score of 10. Our high scorers
0:20:20 > 0:20:23are Chris and Rebecca on 36 so 25 or less
0:20:23 > 0:20:25from you sees you into the head-to-head.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Right, I know a few of them,
0:20:28 > 0:20:29but they're all
0:20:29 > 0:20:31very high-scoring, I think.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34So, I'm going to go for the top one,
0:20:34 > 0:20:35'A dog called Toto'
0:20:35 > 0:20:38and that's Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41"Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz," says Matthew.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Here's your red line.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45If you get below that red line, you're in the next round.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Let's see if Dorothy is right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Absolutely right.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Not bad. 36.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0136 takes your total up to 46.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Yeah, I think that's a pretty solid answer, Matthew.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08She lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Thanks very much. Now then, Chris P.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14The high scorers are now Kieron and Matthew on 46.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You're on 36 so a score of nine
0:21:16 > 0:21:18or less will keep you from being the high-scorers.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yeah, it's tricky.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The ones I know, I think, are going to be quite high-scoring.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I said I'd take a bit of a gamble this time. It could be wrong.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I could be thinking of something completely different,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31but I'll go for Huckleberry Finn's Friday.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Friday. OK, here's your red line.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Quite low. If you get below that red line, you're through
0:21:37 > 0:21:39to the next round. "Friday," says Chris.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Let's see if it's right and, if it is,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43let's see how many people said it. Friday.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Bad luck. I'm afraid that's
0:21:48 > 0:21:52an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53That takes your total up
0:21:53 > 0:21:57to an unbeatable 136, I'm sorry to say.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Richard.- Friday is, of course, Robinson Crusoe's island-mate.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Now then, Chris, you're through to the head-to-head, whatever happens.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06But I think you might have some good answers
0:22:06 > 0:22:08for this board. Take us through the board.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Secret Service agent, James Bond.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Parents killed by Voldemort,
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Harry Potter.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I wouldn't have a clue on the other three
0:22:17 > 0:22:18so I'm going to say
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Harry Potter. Parents killed by Lord Voldemort.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Harry Potter. Let's see if that's right and,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28No red line for you. You're already through. Harry Potter.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Absolutely right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:3547.
0:22:35 > 0:22:3947 for Harry Potter takes your total up to 82.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Yeah, not a bad answer, actually, in the final analysis. 47 points.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Certainly a lower score than 007 which, as you say, is James Bond.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52That would have scored you 74.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Now, Huckleberry Finn's best known friend is Tom Sawyer.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02That would have scored you 28 points and would've seen you safely through.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Takes the One Ring to Mount Doom.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That's Frodo Baggins.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Would have scored you 17. And do you know this one?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It's the best answer on the board. A robin leads her to a secret garden.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Yeah, um... - The name is tough, isn't it?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Mary Lennox. Mary Lennox would have scored you five points.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Very well done if you got that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Thank you very much, Richard.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21At the end of Round Two,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24the pair with the highest score, Chris and Rebecca.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I know. Very disappointing.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Oh, dear. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Thank you so much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32For the remaining pairs,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Congratulations, Matthew and Kieron, David and Chris.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48You're now only one round away from the final and the chance
0:23:48 > 0:23:50to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, you're now going to go head-to-head
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and the first pair to win two questions
0:23:59 > 0:24:01will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The great news is, from here on in, you are allowed to confer.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15OK, here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Acting footballers. Is that the same thing as acting managers?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Yeah, it's people who step in when the real footballer's on holiday.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29No, I'm going to show you five pictures. Professional footballers,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32all of whom have also received an acting credit in a feature film.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Can you name these footballers? Best of luck.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37OK. Thanks very much. Let's reveal
0:24:37 > 0:24:39our five acting footballers. And here they are.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40We have got...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57There we are. Five acting footballers.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Now then, Matthew and Kieron, you've played best so far,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01so you get to go first.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04OK, hmm, what do you reckon?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- You know E, don't you?- I think probably C would be the best answer.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah, we'll go for it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14OK, we're going to go for C, and I think that's Ossie Ardiles.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Ossie Ardiles, say Matthew and Kieron for C.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Ossie Ardiles. So, David and Chris, the rest of the board is yours.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Talk us through all of them if you like and fill in the blanks.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Well, I know A and D.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We've got Vinnie Jones, haven't we? We've got Eric Cantona.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I think that's Stan Collymore. I'm not sure what film he was in.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Ooh, that's a good shout.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Is B Ally McCoist? Again, not sure on the film.- That's a good shout.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- I think you're right with B. - Ally McCoist?- Yeah, go that.- OK.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46We are going B, Ally McCoist.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50OK, B, Ally McCoist, say David and Chris.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52So, we have...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55C, Ossie Ardiles, from Matthew and Kieron.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Let's see that's right, Ossie Ardiles,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it? Ossie Ardiles.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Absolutely right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- 30. - APPLAUSE
0:26:13 > 0:26:1530 for Ossie Ardiles.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Now then, David and Chris, you have said that B is Ally McCoist.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21How sure of that are you?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Not very, now!- OK, well, let's see.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26B, Ally McCoist.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ally McCoist for B.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Absolutely right. Ally McCoist it is. Will it go down lower than 30?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yes, it will.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Come on!- 4!
0:26:42 > 0:26:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Very, very well done.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51OK, after one question,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54that means David and Chris, you are ahead 1-0. Richard.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well played, David and Chris.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Ally McCoist plays Robert Duvall's son-in-law in A Shot At Glory.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03And Osvaldo Ardiles, Ossie Ardiles, was in Escape To Victory
0:27:03 > 0:27:05with lots of other ex-professionals.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07A is Vinnie Jones, of course.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Would have scored you 51 points.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14D, Eric Cantona. He's in Looking For Eric, Elizabeth,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17all sorts of films now. Does all sorts of acting.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Eric Cantona, 56 points he would've scored you.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25And E is one of the stars of Basic Instinct 2.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Stan Collymore would've scored you 15 points.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Thanks very much, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Matthew and Kieron, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38But it will go to David and Chris first. It concerns...
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Only Fools And Horses. Richard.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46All we'll do for this question is give you five clues
0:27:46 > 0:27:50to facts about Only Fools And Horses. Can you pick the most obscure answer?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Very best of luck. Let's reveal our five clues to facts
0:27:52 > 0:27:55about Only Fools And Horses. And here they come. We have got...
0:28:05 > 0:28:06I'll read those one last time.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20There we are. Five clues to facts about Only Fools And Horses.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You're going to try and find the one you think fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25David and Chris, you go first.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29What do you think? We know Rodney's wife.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I know... I know the top two.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I know Rodney's wife, the prequel I could dig out.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It's your call on this. Which one do you think is lowest of those three?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I think Rodney's wife is quite high.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Do you think created by this writer would be better than Rodney's wife?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50OK, we'll go by created by this writer, John Sullivan.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52John Sullivan, say David and Chris.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55John Sullivan.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57OK, Matthew and Kieron, the board's yours.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Talk us through the answers.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04OK, I'm pretty sure I know the name of the local pub.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- You can fill in the answers and just say which one you want to submit at the end.- OK.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I think it's the Nag's Head, but I don't think that's going to be lower
0:29:10 > 0:29:13than what these guys have just said. I don't know Trigger's...
0:29:13 > 0:29:17I don't have a clue. I literally don't know any, apart from...
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Rodney's wife is called Cassandra. - Yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23But again, I think that's going to be quite high-scoring.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28And the prequel was called... Was it Fish And Chips?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- That's probably going to beat us. - It was Rock And Chips.- Is it?- Mm. - Go for it, then.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36I think that's probably the lowest one out of those, what's left.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Then say it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40OK, we'll go for the title of the 2010 prequel,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44which was Rock And Chips, we think.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Rock And Chips. Rock And Chips.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49So, we have John Sullivan and we have Rock And Chips.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54David and Chris, you said the author of Only Fools And Horses was John Sullivan.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Absolutely right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Good answer, 14.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:12 > 0:30:1314.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Now then, Matthew and Kieron,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19this is the question you have to win to stay in the game.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21You've said Rock And Chips, let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It is right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Will it go anywhere near 14? Still going down.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34You've done it! 9.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Very well done, Matthew and Kieron.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You are back in the game after two questions.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It's one apiece. Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Well played, Kieron. Great to hear inspiration strike in the middle.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Very good. Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53You're right about the local pub - it's the Nag's Head.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56That wouldn't have won you the point, it scored 27, so right to avoid it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Rodney's wife wouldn't have won you the point either.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It is Cassandra, but would've scored you 43,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03so you had to get Rock And Chips. It's a terrific answer.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Now, Trigger's real first name. Do you know that? That's a tough one.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Two points for this. One of the biggest characters in it, but what's his name?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Very well done to anyone who said Colin.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Two points.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So, it comes down to a decider. A third question.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Whoever wins this goes through to that final
0:31:23 > 0:31:25and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck, both teams.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It concerns...
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Studio Albums By The Beatles. Richard.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34For this deciding question,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36we're going to list five studio albums by The Beatles,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38but we're only giving you the initials.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Can you tell us the names of the albums, please?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Very best of luck, both teams.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48OK, let's reveal five studio albums by The Beatles just in initial form.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50And here we are, we've got...
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Now then, Matthew and Kieron, you go first.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Whoever wins this question goes through to the final.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- I don't know what MMT is. - I know what it is.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I think we'll go for MMT.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19- Do you know it? Do you know what it is?- No.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22If you feel confident, then go for it, but...
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I think that we'll go for the MMT, which is the Magical Mystery Tour.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Magical Mystery Tour, say Matthew and Kieron.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Now then, David and Chris, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- What have you got? - Well, the bottom one's easy,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38but I think it'll score higher than Magical Mystery Tour.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41That's Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'm struggling on the rest. What have you got?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45R, that will be Revolver. Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48WTB, With The Beatles, I think.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51BFS...
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Big Friendly Giant!
0:32:54 > 0:32:57So it's either Revolver or With The Beatles.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I'm more sure about Revolver,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02but With The Beatles might be a better answer.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- Are we going to take a punt or go safe?- Yeah, take a punt.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08We'll go With The Beatles, WTB.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13WTB, With The Beatles, say David and Chris.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15So then, Matthew and Kieron,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17you've gone for Magical Mystery Tour.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Magical Mystery Tour.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It's absolutely right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Ooh, it's good.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- 18. - APPLAUSE
0:33:33 > 0:33:3718 for Magical Mystery Tour. Very well done indeed.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Now then, David and Chris have gone for With The Beatles.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Now, this is a bit of a punt, isn't it?- It is a bit of a punt.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46OK, With The Beatles.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Let's see if it's right, and if so, let's see seen many of our 100 people said With The Beatles.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53It is right.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Will it go down lower than 18?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Yes, it does! Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:0311 for With The Beatles.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Once again, David pulls it out of the bag.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Fantastic. Well, that's great.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14That means after three questions, David and Chris,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17you're through to the final, 2-1. Congratulations.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Richard.- Courage rewarded there, David and Chris. A terrific answer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24It was number one for 21 consecutive weeks in 1963, With The Beatles.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25You were right about R, it is Revolver,
0:34:25 > 0:34:29but that would've scored you 49 points.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32You did the right thing. That would've seen you knocked out.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36You're right about the bottom one, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That's the biggest answer there. 63.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41The best answer on the board, the one answer that would've beaten them...
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Just got it. Beatles For Sale.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Beatles For Sale, absolutely right, from 1964.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And that would've scored 7 points.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Well done if you got all of those. Terrific head-to-head, guys.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Very well played, everybody. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55So, the losing pair at the end of the round,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I'm afraid, Matthew and Kieron.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01The good news is we'll see you again next time, which will be fantastic.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Matthew and Kieron, fabulous contestants. Very well played.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06APPLAUSE
0:35:07 > 0:35:10But, for David and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Congratulations, David and Chris.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21You've seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Yay!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:34 > 0:35:38CHEERING
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Well, you have played consistently well throughout.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Actually, in both shows. Your Pointless careers have been amazing. - Legendary!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Yeah, well, the stuff of Pointless legend, certainly.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Anyway, the rules for the final are very simple.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You only have to find one now,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03and you will leave with that £2,250 jackpot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Firstly, you've got to choose a category, and you can choose from these five options. They are...
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Wow! OK.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19There's three of them gone, isn't there?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22There's only one shouting out at me, but it's such a wide category,
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- it's difficult to get a pointless one - Sports Stars.- Sports Stars or Heads Of State for me.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Are you better at sport than I am at heads of state?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Sports stars, you would be good.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Yeah.- Depends on the question, but...
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Heads of state, I'm thinking King Hussein of Jordan. If he comes up, that's my one.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39LAUGHTER
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- And the Queen.- Will we go sport?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Go on, we'll go sport. - Yeah, we'll go Sports Stars.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- You'll go Sports Stars?- Yeah.- OK. - Now, be gentle.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- And King Hussein of Jordan, he did play a bit of sport as well. - I think he might have done.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02..as they could. Richard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05We're looking for any person, male or female,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08who's ever been defeated by Martina Navratilova in a Wimbledon ladies singles,
0:37:08 > 0:37:12ladies doubles or mixed doubles final. Very best of luck.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22And all you need to win that £2,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Are you ready?- OK.- Yes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Your time starts now.- Got to try and think of the doubles ones.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- I'm thinking doubles.- Ilie Nastase, that would've been that era.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Jo Durie? Had she have ever got to the mixed doubles? John Lloyd? - Possibly, yeah.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Yeah, they're good. You've got the Chris Everts, you've got...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47She's played in the singles. I think you're right with the doubles.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51We've got to go doubles. Who else was there? Fleming, they were a good doubles pair, weren't they?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Did he do mixed, though? - I don't think he did mixed.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- I would think Jo Durie...- Yeah.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- We need a safe one so that we've got some points on the board. - Well, that doesn't really matter!
0:38:03 > 0:38:04John Lloyd, I mean...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- He used to play in the mixed. - Got John Lloyd.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I've got a sniff for Ilie Nastase. I don't know why.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Ilie Nastase is good. Ilie Nastase, John Lloyd...
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- How long have we got left?- If you've not got anything else, we'll go with Jo Durie, but I don't know.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- OK, let's see if there's any more. Got 11 seconds.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Billie Jean King, fairly obvious, I'd have thought.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I think we're thinking the right lines, aren't we?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33OK, there we are, your time is up.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37So, we were looking for players defeated by Martina Navratilova in a Wimbledon final.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I now need your three answers.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41OK, going with John Lloyd.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- John Lloyd.- Ilie Nastase. - Ilie Nastase.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- And Jo Durie.- And Jo Durie.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53I think if Jo Durie is correct...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56It's not correct, is it? If it's correct, it'll be good, I think.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- Go Jo Durie.- Jo Durie we'll put last. Which shall we put first? Our least likely.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- Ilie Nastase.- Ilie Nastase.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07OK, let's pop those answers on the board in that order, and here they are. We have got...
0:39:12 > 0:39:15So, we were looking for tennis players who have been defeated by
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Martina Navratilova in a Wimbledon final.
0:39:18 > 0:39:24Your first answer, your least likely shot at a pointless answer, you judged, was Ilie Nastase.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,250.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32David, what would you do with 2,250 quid?
0:39:32 > 0:39:37I'd like to go to Lapland. I've been to Lapland and it was brilliant, and I'd love to go again.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I met Santa Claus.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- LAUGHTER - Is he nice?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Oh, he was beautiful! He had a foreign accent and wellies.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- He was just proper Santa Claus. - LAUGHTER
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- And I'd like to do that again. - Excellent. Chris, how about you?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I'm not sure this money would get us there, but it'd be lovely to go to Australia. Fabulous.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56OK, well, very best of luck.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Let's hope one of these answers will see these things happen.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03For that jackpot of £2,250, let's see how many people said
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Ilie Nastase.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10One down.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15OK, an incorrect answer. There we are, not a pointless answer.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21We are looking for players defeated by Martina Navratilova in a Wimbledon final.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Let's hope nobody said your next answer, John Lloyd.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28OK, this has to be pointless, has to be correct,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30for you to win that jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Let's see how many people said John Lloyd.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Ooh! They're falling like flies.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Now then, three perfectly plausible answers, I thought.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Everything is now riding on Jo Durie.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- This is as good as it gets, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:40:55 > 0:40:58This has to be right and it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02So, for £2,250, many people said Jo Durie?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- No-o-o! - APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Oh, bad luck!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Gutted.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Now, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26But, you do still get to take home a pair of Pointless trophies.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27- Fantastic. - APPLAUSE
0:41:27 > 0:41:30So, something to show for your excellent performance.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Oh, this is the tough bit.- Yeah.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Tough luck, guys, you played so well. But let's look at the pointless ones.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42In 1983, she beat Andrea Jaegar in a Wimbledon final. Would have been pointless.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Andy Ram who she beat in mixed doubles with Anastasia Rodionova. Also a pointless answer.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52Anne Smith lost three ladies' doubles finals with Kathy Jordan to Navratilova.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Gigi Fernandez, who lost with Cyril Suk, was also a pointless answer.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59John Fitzgerald lost the mixed doubles with Liz Smylie, also pointless.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02There's Kathy Jordan who lost with Anne Smith.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05There's Liz Smylie. Wendy Turnbull lost three women's doubles finals.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Lost one with Mandlikova and one with Stove.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Neither of them were pointless. And one with Rosie Casals, who was.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15And Zina Garrison, who Martina Navratilova beat in the 1990 ladies' singles finals.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18And the only other pointless answers were the Dutch pair, Bollegraf and Niessen.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22All of those pointless. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- Did you know many of those?- No. No, I have no regrets.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27No name's come up and I thought, "I can't believe I didn't say that."
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Well, there's a relief.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Well, we do have to say goodbye to you, David and Chris,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34but it's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you both for playing.
