0:00:15 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:29 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:40First up, we welcome Jack and Hattie,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42our first pair on the show today.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Jack, how do you two know each other?- We're brother and sister.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Where are you from, Hattie?- We are from Brighton.- What do you do, Jack?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I've just finished a sports science degree at Brunel University.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Hattie.- Yeah.- What do you do?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm a trainee solicitor.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59OK, what do you like to get up to in your spare time, Hattie?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I sing at open mic nights from time to time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Jack, what d'you like to get up to?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I am a sport fanatic
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and a Brighton and Hove Albion season ticket holder,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10but also - and I know this sounds quite lazy -
0:01:10 > 0:01:12but I do love TV shows, so...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14OK, anything like that would be good for you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Sport, obviously, would be fantastic.- Yeah.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- Hattie, anything you are hoping will come up?- Movie stars, the Oscars, would be really good for me.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Very good, favourite movie star?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Ryan Gosling!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Brilliant.- That's an honest but shallow answer.- Yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31No, it's very good. It's a good answer.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Great to have you on the show. A warm welcome.- Thank you very much.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Next, we welcome back Matthew and Kieron.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40You were on the show last time, everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43This is your second chance. Matthew, remind us how you know each other.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We know each other from the schooldays.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We were good mates from then, about ten years now.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Very good. Kieron, what happened last time?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I think we did pretty well, I was happy to get to the head-to-head.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Yeah, it was a pretty creditable performance.- We're happy with that.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Anyway, what would you hope would come up today? What'll see you through to the final?
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I'm a big sci-fi geek, I think I'd be all right with that, so...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Sport - I think we're both pretty good at as well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Anything else you want to throw in, Matthew?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Just not politics. - Anything but politics.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Which came up last time, so...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, let's hope it doesn't rear its head again this time.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The very best of luck, Matthew and Kieron.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Great to have you back on the show. Next, we welcome Kriss and Lyn.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- How do you two know each other? - Kriss is my youngest son.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- What do you do, Lyn? - Well, I'm retired.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- What do you like doing with your time?- I keep extremely busy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I dance a lot, I dance five or six times a week.- Wow!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- What kind of dancing? - I love line dancing, actually.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I was going to say, you REALLY love line dancing. Six times a week!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- No, no!- Whoa, those belt loops must get a real workout.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Line dancing three times a week,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Scottish country dancing two or three times a week.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What's your favourite reel?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Oh, OK, Baldovan Reel.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Baldovan Reel, is that...?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Never heard of it, but I'm going to play along.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Baldovan Reel, yes, that's the...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yes. Good.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Sort of.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Kriss, what do you do?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm a communications support worker,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14which means I do sign language for deaf students at secondary school.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Fantastic. How long have you been doing that?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Ooh, about nine years now. - Could you cross over and do...?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Cos they do signed performances in theatres and things like that, don't they?- They do.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I originally did want to be that guy in the corner of the telly...
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Yeah!- ..but now, after being on the telly, I'm not so sure!- Oh, really?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Very, very best of luck to you, Kriss and Lyn.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Great to have you on the show. Finally, we welcome back
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Mark and Wendy, who were also on the show last time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Now, Mark, remind us how you know each other.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- We're colleagues, we work together. - What happened last time, Mark?
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- We went out in the first round.- You went Geoff Hoon.- We went Geoff Hoon.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- You went defence.- We should have gone Leon Brittan. What can I say?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56There you are, should have gone Leon Brittan.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's a problem you often have in life and...yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- What do you hope will come up today, Wendy?- Anything to do with cooking.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Very good. What kind of cooking do you like?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I like to entertain people,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12so I like to push boundaries and try new foods,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16but I also quite enjoy baking cakes and treating people to cake.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I wish we'd known that before this show,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22we perhaps might have sent Wendy off with a list of requests.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27D'you know what's happened? She's totally made us a cake and keeping it quiet, until the end.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28That's what's happened.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Yeah.- Thanks, Wendy. That's going to be amazing.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And, Mark, what have you made us? Sorry, what are you...?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Sorry, sorry. What are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Literature possibly, or plays
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- and maybe '80s and '90s TV. - Very good.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Well, Mark and Wendy, very best of luck. Great having you back on the show.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We'll find out more about you all as we go along.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Obscurity is his bread and butter and facts are his filling.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00He's just one big Pointless sandwich.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- He is my Pointless friend... He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Hello. Hiya.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It should be a good show. Matthew and Kieron were strong last time.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15They got to the head-to-head, did well. They'll be tough to beat,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17but also we just didn't see the best of Mark and Wendy.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21One of those occasions where they were very unlucky to go out in Round One,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so I suspect they'll go much further.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Question one...could be...
0:05:26 > 0:05:27carnage.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33It's one of those ones where as soon as you read the question out people just go, "Oh, really?"
0:05:33 > 0:05:37But, if you think about it, everyone will have an answer.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Best of luck.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44In order to get to the final round
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and be in with a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48our contestants must find the obscure answers
0:05:48 > 0:05:50those 100 people couldn't get.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54the fewer points they'll score.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57What everyone is trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:05:59 > 0:06:03and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14APPLAUSE
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20APPLAUSE
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Try and make sure it's not you. OK, our first category today...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37..is Chemistry.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38No-one panicking at this stage?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Richard. - We're looking for any element on the periodic table
0:06:59 > 0:07:01that has no repeated letters in its name -
0:07:01 > 0:07:04that is all the letters in its name are different.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- That makes sense, doesn't it? - Yeah.- No repeated letters.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Jack and Hattie - you all drew lots before the show
0:07:09 > 0:07:12and today you are going first.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Hattie...- Yes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17An element with no repeated letters in its name.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I can think of loads of elements
0:07:20 > 0:07:24but they've all got repeating letters in them.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So, I will go for...
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Just checking. Radon. Please. - OK, radon, says Hattie.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36let's see how many of our 100 people said radon.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Absolutely right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- 5 - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:48 > 0:07:505, Hattie. There's a good answer.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Great score.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Radon.- Yeah, well played, Hattie. Very well played.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's the densest gas of all,
0:07:57 > 0:07:58radon.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Great in a bath at the end of a day. Oof! Just a bit of radon.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Seriously, don't take a bath in radon. That's not...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Do. Really do.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It's just... Oh! Relax in a radon bath.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Don't be silly, cos somebody will.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Now then. Kieron.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Well, one of my best mates back home is actually a chemist,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23so he will kill me if I get this wrong.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- I want to go for argon. - Argon, says Kieron.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Let's see if that's right, if it is, how many of our 100 people said argon?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Absolutely right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:3816.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41APPLAUSE
0:08:41 > 0:08:4416 for argon.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yeah, another of the noble gases, argon.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- It makes up one percent of the atmosphere.- Lyn.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52A nice chemical element with no repeated letters.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Short and sweet, I'll go for lead. - Let's see if that's right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59If it is, how many of our 100 people said lead?
0:09:07 > 0:09:0822.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:1422 for lead.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Well played, Lyn. The heaviest common metal.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Obviously, much less used now than it used to be.- There we are.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now then, Wendy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Wendy, a nice obscure element with no repeated letters.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Not my strongest subject, I'm afraid,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32but I'm going to say cadnium.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- You are going to say...? - Cadnium.- Let's see if that's right.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Bad luck, Wendy.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm afraid cadnium is an incorrect answer.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Two "M"s, Wendy, I'm afraid. Cadmium.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Right, OK.- Bad luck.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It is an element, though.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Do you sense that we're not going to get this cake?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well, if we do, it's going to have quite a lot of RADON in it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10There we go. Halfway through the round,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Hattie and Jack...
0:10:15 > 0:10:165!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Very, very strong answer. Lovely low score.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Then up to 16, where we find Kieran and Matthew.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Up to 22, where we find Lyn and Kriss.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27All of you now looking extremely strong in light of, I'm afraid,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29100 for Wendy and Mark.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32But who knows what might happen in the next pass.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Good luck. We're coming back down the line. Second players, take your place at the podium.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41OK, so we are looking for...
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Mark, you are the high scorers, I'm sorry to say, on 100 points.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Might you have a pointless answer somewhere in there?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Barium.- Oh, that sounds good.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Barium, is it right, how many people said it?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Absolutely right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- 2. - APPLAUSE
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The best score of the round so far, Mark.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Barium. If anything is going to get you out of difficulty,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17that deserves to. Total, 102.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yes, well played. Fingers crossed for you. An alkaline metal, barium.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Thanks very much. Now then, Kriss.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The high scorers are Mark and Wendy on 102.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29You're on 22, so a score of 79 or less will see you into the next round.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Well, I think I'll go for a short and sweet one as well with zinc.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Zinc, says Kriss. Zinc. Let's see if that's right,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said zinc.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You are through to the next round, well done.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- 36 with zinc. - APPLAUSE
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Takes your total up to 58.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well played, Kriss. Safe and sound, did all you needed to do there.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Now then, Matthew.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm going to go for sodium.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Sodium, says Matthew. Sodium, there is your red line.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05If you get below that red line, you're in the next round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Let's see if sodium's right, and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said sodium.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Absolutely right, and you're through.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- 17 for sodium. - APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Great answer. Takes your total up to 33.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Yes, a very light, reactive metal. It ignites if it touches water, sodium.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Now then, we come to you, Jack and Hattie.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35The high scorers are Mark and Wendy on 102, you are on 5.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So, Jack, if you can score 96 or less,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41you are through to the next round. Do you think he can do it, Hattie?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I don't know.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Jack, come on.- Cheers!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's one of my weaker subjects,
0:12:51 > 0:12:56so I'm going to play it safe and go for hydrogen.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00OK, hydrogen, says Jack. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Well done, you're through.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07- 35 for hydrogen. - APPLAUSE
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Takes you total up to 40.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Very well done. Richard. - Well played, Jack.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- The simplest atom of them all. It's very gutsy to go for a long word, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Every single person in the audience was doing what I was doing, which was going...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23HE MUTTERS LETTERS
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Just checking it through. Checking it through.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27He's not a good speller either, so it was really good.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Very well played, Jack. There's a whole bunch of pointless answers.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'm sure some people would've got these.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36The chemists amongst you. Let's take a look at some of them.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Bismuth would've been a pointless answer, bohrium, cerium.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Caesium, erbium, francium.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Nobelium, scandium and thorium. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Let's take a look at the worst answers. These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Where it should be.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Exactly where it should be. - Right at the top. Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13the losing pair with the highest score, it's Mark and Wendy again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Cadmium and Geoff Hoon. Ugh!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The pair of them between them have conspired on both shows you've been on.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's been great having you on the show.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye so soon, but Mark and Wendy, great contestants, thanks for playing.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39So four pairs become three pairs,
0:14:39 > 0:14:44but sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So, very interesting first round. Matthew and Kieron.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Now, you made it through to the head-to-head last time.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Judging on that last round, which pair do you think will be tougher to beat in a head-to-head?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Kriss and Lyn, or Jack and Hattie?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't know, some great scores from all of them, to be honest,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- so I think it's too close to call, I think.- Yeah.- OK.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Our category for Round Two today is...
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Celebrations. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19OK, our question concerns...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Countries and their public holidays. Richard.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29On each pass, we're going to give you the name of six national holidays
0:15:29 > 0:15:32and the dates they usually take place. We need you to tell us
0:15:32 > 0:15:36in which modern-day country do these celebrations uniquely occur, please.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:15:39 > 0:15:4312 in all to have a go with at home. Very, very best of luck. And as always, by country,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49So we are looking for the countries where these public holidays are celebrated.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And we have got...
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29There we are. Six public holidays.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33You just have to find the most obscure one. Jack?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK, well, sadly, again, I do know a few
0:16:35 > 0:16:38but they haven't showed up on the board, so I'll have to play it safe.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I'll go for Gandhi's birthday being celebrated in India.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Gandhi's birthday, India, says Jack.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Let's see if it's right, and if so, let's see how many people knew that answer. Gandhi's birthday, India.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Oh, oh, Jack!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- APPLAUSE - 91.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58- That was safe.- Yes, it was safe.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's also the International Day of Non-violence,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Gandhi's birthday as well.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05They have 17 public holidays a year in India.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- How many do we have?- We've got eight, I think.- Eight?- Yeah.- 17?!
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Would be nice, wouldn't it? - That's more like it!
0:17:11 > 0:17:16And bung some on a Friday like they do in France, you have the Friday and Monday off.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18They do that every week, though, don't they, in France?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Actually, that's true, they do. Good point.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Anyway, there we are. Matthew, Matthew...
0:17:23 > 0:17:24This is tricky,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26so I'm just going to have a guess,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31and that is the Emperor's Holiday being in Thailand.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The Emperor's Holiday in Thailand.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Let's see if it's right, and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said it was in Thailand.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Bad luck, Matthew. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47which means you score the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah, sorry, Matthew. If they had an Emperor's Holiday in Thailand,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53the King of Thailand would go mental. LAUGHTER
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Now then, Lyn.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59So we're looking for countries where they celebrate these holidays.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I would guess the top one might be China or Japan.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I can't even read the bottom one. So I'll go for...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Chulalongkorn?- That's it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I'll go for the safe one, Bastille Day is France.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I don't like this "safe one" nonsense. This is worrying me.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Well, I have got my fingers crossed. - OK, well, Kriss, cross yours.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Kriss...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Kriss-cross.- Yeah, that's good. Yeah, very good.- OK then,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Lyn has said Bastille Day, France.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's right. Ooh-hoo-hoo!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- 92. Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- 92 for France.- That's a big old score, isn't it, for Bastille Day.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48They have a grand military parade up the Champs-Elysees, the French, on Bastille Day.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Let's take a look at the rest of the answers. The Emperor's Holiday,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54not in China, it is in Japan. It's in Japan.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57So, you're not in Thailand, it is Japan.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59St Wenceslas day, well, Good King Wenceslas,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03the Czech Republic is Wenceslas Day. That would've scored you 7 points.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Human Rights Day is in South Africa. That would've scored you 3 points.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11And Chulalongkorn Day, that's in Thailand.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Ah-h!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Would've scored you 10 points.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17He was the former King of Thailand, Chulalongkorn.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19The son of the king Yul Brynner plays in The King And I.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Really?- It's his son. He abolished slavery,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24did all sorts of good things in what was Siam at the time.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Let's take a look at the scores.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Cor, what a round that was!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Well, Jack and Hattie, once again looking very strong on 91.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36LAUGHTER
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Then we travel up to 92 where we find Lyn and Kriss, then up to 100.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Normally if you get an answer wrong, you're way out ahead
0:19:44 > 0:19:49of the field, but the others are quite reassuringly close behind you. Going to come back down the line.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57OK, we're going to put six more public holidays on the board.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59And here they are. We have got...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'll read those one last time, if I can.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So, there we are, six public holidays,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and as always on Pointless, you're trying to find the one you think
0:20:40 > 0:20:41the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Now, Kriss, you're on 92,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Kieron and Matthew way ahead of you on 100.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49If you can score 7 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Well, I'll be honest with you, I don't know any of them
0:20:52 > 0:20:55except the top one, but that's going to be too high.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So I'm going to have to have a bit of a gamble...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02October 12, National Day - Fiesta Nacional...
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Italy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Italy, says Kriss.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Let's see if that's right, and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12There is your red line, quite low.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Fiesta Nacional. Is that in Italy?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Ooh, no, bad luck, Kriss.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:21:21 > 0:21:23which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Takes your total up to 192.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Blimey, we're going to need a day off after this, aren't we?- Yeah! Whoa. - LAUGHTER
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- It's going awfully well.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Kieron, the high scorers are Kriss and Lyn on 192.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You're on 100.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41A score of 91 or less will see you into the head-to-head.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I'm going to go for this one.
0:21:44 > 0:21:50I've got no idea where it is, but the word itself looks Danish.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- So I going to go for "Konardigidag"?- Oh!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Go on, have another go at it.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- "Kerningdigidag"? - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Queen's Day. Queen's Day. - "Colonel Digidag", yes.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Yes, let's go for "Colonel Digidag", see if that takes place in Denmark.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK. Denmark says Kieron for Koninginnedag Day.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14No! Bad luck, Kieron.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22That takes your total to an unbeatable 200, I am sorry to say.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Good shot, though.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Yeah, sorry, I'll let you know which country you offended
0:22:26 > 0:22:29with your pronunciation at the end of the pass.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34OK, now then, Hattie, great news. You're through to the next round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Luckily.- Talk us through the board.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Well, July 4th is the USA.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Um, Queen's Day?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I think maybe Sweden. National Day, Fiesta Nacional.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46That sounds Spanish to me.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49But again it could be South American,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51so I will go for St Rose of Lima Day,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Peru.- Peru says Hattie for St Rose of Lima.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Peru.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Absolutely right. Very well done, Hattie.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05There we are.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07For the first time this round. 21.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10APPLAUSE
0:23:10 > 0:23:1221 takes your total up to 112.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Very well played, Hattie.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18As you say, Lima, capital of Peru. That was the clue there.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Now Koninginnedag - it's not Denmark.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It is the Netherlands.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It would have scored you 16 points.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29If you had said Independence Day, it would have scored too many points.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32It would have scored 97 points. It's the USA, of course.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The Fiesta Nacional, Hattie right again, it's in Spain,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38that would have scored you 48.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Waitangi Day is in New Zealand.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43That would have scored you 26 points.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And Unity Day, is the best answer on the board,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47it would have scored you just one point
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- if you'd said Germany. - Ah! Of course. Very good.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Thanks, Richard. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56it's Kieron and Matthew.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Oh, no! You were head-to-headers last time.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04This time your international public holiday knowledge is really rubbish.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Yeah, we need to get out more. - Oh, dear.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It's been great having you on the show.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Thanks so much for playing. I'm sorry to say goodbye to you so soon.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE
0:24:15 > 0:24:19But for the remaining two pairs things are about to get more exciting now
0:24:19 > 0:24:21as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Congratulations, Jack and Hattie, Kriss and Lyn.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32You are now only one round away from the final and a chance
0:24:32 > 0:24:34to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:42OK, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And the first pair to win two questions will be going
0:24:44 > 0:24:47through to the final and playing for that jackpot.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The great news is that from here on in, you can confer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Kriss and Lyn, you played very solidly throughout the show.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Jack and Hattie, some great answering there from Hattie.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58And some quite expensive answers from you, Jack.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So, yeah, but you can now put your heads together.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So you can pool your resources.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Kriss, can you sign this,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10"and by country, we mean a sovereign state recognised by the UN"?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- What was the last bit? - Recognised by the UN.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Hurray! There we are.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23APPLAUSE
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Well, very best of luck to both pairs.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Famous Lionels. Richard?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- I can't believe we haven't done this category before.- No.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51We'll show you five pictures of famous people called Lionel.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Can you identify the most obscure of these, please?- Very good.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58OK, let's reveal our five Lionels, and here they come.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59We have got...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16There we are - five Lionels.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Jack and Hattie, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25THEY CONFER
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I am going to go with, or we're going to go with A.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It's the only one we know. It's Lionel Messi.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35OK, Messi you are saying for A. Lionel Messi.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Now then, Kriss and Lyn, you can talk us
0:26:38 > 0:26:40through the rest of the board if you like.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- And then decide which one you want to submit.- B - we're sure of.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48- Lionel Blair.- And D. Who did you think D was?- Lionel Jeffries.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50But I'm not sure.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- So let's say for a gamble, what you think?- Shall we gamble?- Go on, then.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Gamble D, Lionel Jeffries.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58D, Lionel Jeffries, say Kriss and Lyn.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01So we have Lionel Messi for Jack and Hattie.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06let's see how many of our 100 people said Lionel Messi.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Absolutely right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:1527!
0:27:15 > 0:27:16APPLAUSE
0:27:16 > 0:27:2027 for Lionel Messi.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Kriss and Lyn, you've taken a bit of a punt, you think,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26and said Lionel Jeffries for D.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Let's see, D, Lionel Jeffries.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Is that right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35It is indeed Lionel Jeffries.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Now will that beat 27? Down it goes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Oh! 30.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Wow!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well, there's a turn up for the books.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Which means, Jack and Hattie, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Yes, who'd have thought that as a result for Lionel Jeffries? - Yeah, back of the net.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Famous actor, director, plays Dick Van Dyke's father
0:27:57 > 0:28:00in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, despite being younger than Dick Van Dyke.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Yeah, Lionel Messi.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05People call him "Leonel" but he's actually named after Lionel Richie.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08So calling him Lionel, I think, is acceptable.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09But only 27 points.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11B, absolutely is Lionel Blair.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13He's been on this show, he was lovely.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That scored 84 points.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17- C is Lionel Bart.- Lionel Bart.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The writer of Oliver.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Would have scored you seven points. It's a very good answer.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25The best answer on the board is E,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- she's the author of We Need To Talk About Kevin.- Lionel Shriver.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Lionel Shriver. The American author. That's absolutely right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Four points. Did you know that one, Hattie?- I did, I did say that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- But I wasn't 100% sure. - You got the point, anyway.- Yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- It would only have been showing off. - That was all Jack.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44OK, very well done.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Jack, you are up 1-0.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Which means, Kriss and Lyn, you have to win this next question to stay in the game.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Very best of luck, here it comes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51It concerns...
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Nursery rhyme characters. Nursery rhyme characters. Richard?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58These are the ones that some love and some hate.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02We'll give you the names of five nursery rhyme characters, but all as anagrams.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Can you work them out and pick the most obscure?- OK.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11Now, then, let's reveal our five nursery rhyme characters in anagram form.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Here they are. We have...
0:29:22 > 0:29:24I'll read those one last time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36There we are, five nursery rhyme characters.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41Obviously, you'll try to find the line you think the fewest of our 100 people spot in 100 seconds.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Kriss and Lyn, it will be you to go first.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Eh?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51We'll go for the top one then.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Top one... Little Miss Muffet.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Little Miss Muffet, you are saying for "Fleet Lifts Summit".
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Now, then, Jack and Hattie?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02We'll go for the last one and say Humpty Dumpty.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Humpty Dumpty, you are saying for the bottom line? Humpty Dumpty.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08So we have Little Miss Muffet versus Humpty Dumpty.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Kriss and Lyn, this is the one you have to win with.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Little Miss Muffet you're saying.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said Little Miss Muffet.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Absolutely right.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- 14! - APPLAUSE
0:30:29 > 0:30:3114 for Little Miss Muffet.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Jack and Hattie have gone for Humpty Dumpty.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Let's see if that's right and how many people said Humpty Dumpty.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43It's right. Is it going to beat 14?
0:30:44 > 0:30:4668.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I'd say that's a pretty comprehensive victory for Kriss and Lyn,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55which means you are back in the game. After two questions it's 1-1.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yeah, very well played there.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58It's a very, very, tough board.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I wonder if anyone at home has got all five of these, very impressive if you have.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04"Jolt Thick Learner"?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I think that's Little Jack Horner.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Little Jack Horner, absolutely right. That would have scored you 24 points,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12so it would not have beaten Little Miss Muffet.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14These other two would beat it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18"Coco Brink" would have scored one point. It's Cock Robin.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Yes, got that just.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22And "Moody Long Runs" is a pointless answer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Anyone in the audience? "Moody Long Runs"?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Solomon Grundy? - Solomon Grundy.- Oh, well done.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28That's exactly right.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- APPLAUSE - That's brilliant.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Pointless answer, very well done if you got that at home.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Literally one person in the whole audience got it, so very impressive.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Here comes our third question.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:41 > 0:31:44and plays for that jackpot. Very best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47It concerns...
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Richard?
0:31:48 > 0:31:53Giving you five questions about Northern Ireland. We need you to pick the most obscure answer.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Very best of luck to both teams.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Northern Ireland.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01And here they are. We have got...
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28There we are, five clues to facts about Northern Ireland.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Jack and Hattie, you go first.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33WHISPERING
0:32:35 > 0:32:37OK, er...
0:32:37 > 0:32:41We'll go for Ballybeg for the least-populated city.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Ballybeg?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Ballybeg, say Jack and Hattie.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Now then, Kriss and Lyn.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50You can talk us through the board.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52No, we can't!
0:32:52 > 0:32:53LAUGHTER
0:32:53 > 0:32:57We think the Belfast City Airport
0:32:57 > 0:32:59might be George Best, but we only think.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Is that the one you're going to go for?
0:33:01 > 0:33:02We're going to go for that.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06OK. So we have Ballybeg from Jack and Hattie,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09and Kriss and Lyn have gone for George Best
0:33:09 > 0:33:13as the man after whom Belfast City Airport is named.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Ballybeg, say Jack and Hattie. Let's see if that's right
0:33:15 > 0:33:17and if it is, let's see how many people said Ballybeg.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Oh, bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Kriss and Lyn, you just have to be correct
0:33:27 > 0:33:29and you are straight through to the final.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32George Best. Is that right and how many people said it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Yep, it's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Very well done indeed.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- It scores 36. - APPLAUSE
0:33:42 > 0:33:43All it had to be was correct.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Which means, Kriss and Lyn, after three questions,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48you are through to the final. Very well done.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Well played, Kriss and Lyn.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52That was a real war of attrition.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It's been a tough show. Let's look at the rest of this board,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58see how people did. George Best is the largest answer on the board.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Any other answers would have won you the points.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03There's some tough ones up there.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06The oldest university is Queen's University Belfast.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10That would've scored 11. The largest lake is Loch Neagh.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12That would've scored you five.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16The only course to host the Open Golf Championship is Royal Portrush.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17That would've scored two points.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20And the least populated city's a pointless answer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Ballybeg is a town in Antrim,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25but the least populated city in Northern Ireland,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28which would've added £250 to the jackpot, is Armagh.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36So at the end of our head-to-head round, Jack and Hattie,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38we say goodbye to you.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41That was a really exciting head-to-head. Ballybeg, bad luck.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44But Armagh, we'll all remember that now.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47We look forward to seeing you again next time.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Thanks for playing. Jack and Hattie, great to see you.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:55But for Kriss and Lyn, it's now time for our pointless final.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57CHEERING
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Congratulations, Kriss and Lyn. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:04 > 0:35:06and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:19 > 0:35:22APPLAUSE
0:35:22 > 0:35:24It's been a very solid and consistent performance
0:35:24 > 0:35:26from you throughout the show.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We've been on a bit of a tour, haven't we?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31We've had chemical elements, public holidays,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33the Lionels, Northern Ireland.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36What would you like to come up in the final?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Oh, well... Er...
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Films might be good if it's the right type of film or actor.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I like, "The right type of film!"
0:35:46 > 0:35:47LAUGHTER
0:35:47 > 0:35:48The rules are very simple.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Firstly, choose a category from these five options.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00They are...
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Spanish pop, surely.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- What are you leaning towards? - I would think fictional characters.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16That's the only one I'd be half comfortable with.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17No, fictional characters.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19OK, Spanish pop.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21LAUGHTER
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Fictional characters. OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:27 > 0:36:31to name as many returning characters
0:36:31 > 0:36:33in Doctor Who as they could. Richard?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37We're looking for any species or individual named characters
0:36:37 > 0:36:41who appeared in the classic era of Doctor Who and also in the new
0:36:41 > 0:36:45era of Doctor Who that started in 2005 up until the end of 2011.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51You have a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55All you need to win that £3,250 is for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Are you ready?- Yep.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- Oh, I haven't watched Doctor Who for at least 25 years.- Really?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Right, well, there's obvious ones like the Daleks and the Cybermen.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13But they're going to be so high.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16What about some of his assistants? Do they come back and go away?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I don't know. I haven't really watched much of the new series.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Do you remember any of the old characters
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and we can just hope they've come back in?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Er, no.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Oh, that's not helpful.- Um, what were those things with all the...?
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- I don't know.- No, OK.- Erm...
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Sidekicks, what sidekicks? Ooh, what about...? Didn't he have a...?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41He had a silver dog, didn't he? A robot dog?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Is that something else? Ah, K-9!
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Might be a different programme. - It might be, but it's all we've got.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- Well, there's three. I just don't watch it.- I don't either.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- I don't have a clue. - Ten seconds left.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I don't think we're going to come up with anything.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Shall we go for those? Unless you want to say something like...
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- I don't know. - Reptilian men or something?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05OK, your time is up.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Looking for returning characters on Doctor Who.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I need your three answers. What are you giving me?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- OK, well, Mum's just said Davros. - We've got Davros, yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Davros.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- We're not sure about K-9. - K-9, we'll try.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22K-9 might be a different programme.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Who else? Cybermen over the Daleks, I guess.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- I suppose so, Cybermen. - And Cybermen. Now, of those three,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- None of them!- Don't you?- Davros. - OK, Davros we'll put last.- Cybermen.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Cybermen first. OK, there we are.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38We'll put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43Here they are, we have got...
0:38:43 > 0:38:48OK, so we are looking for returning characters in Doctor Who.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Cybermen was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54You only have to find one pointless answer
0:38:54 > 0:38:56to win that jackpot of £3,250.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00OK, let's see. How many people said Cybermen?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Well, it's right.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Let's see how far down it goes.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08It'll show us how much our 100 people know about Doctor Who.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It's still going down, into the 20s.
0:39:10 > 0:39:1226, there we are. Not bad.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14APPLAUSE
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Well, unfortunately not a pointless answer, but I think
0:39:19 > 0:39:21we would've been surprised if that had been.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Lyn, what would you do with £3,250?
0:39:26 > 0:39:31I'd love to take my grandchildren to Eurodisney.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Very good. Now then, Kriss. What would you like to do?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Let Nan take the grandchildren.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38LAUGHTER
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Take them away for a couple of weeks. It'd be great!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- A couple of weeks?- Oh, yeah. - OK. How old are they?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48My eldest is eight next week
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and Archie's six.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Very good. They'll be watching right now.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58OK, looking for returning characters in Doctor Who. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, K-9.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01This has to be right and pointless if you are to win the jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- You think it might be from another show, don't you?- Yeah.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09OK, let's see. Is it right? How many people said K-9?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Oh, no. It's absolutely right. K-9 is certainly Doctor Who.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Cybermen took us down to 26.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22How far down is K-9 going to take us? Down into single figures, yes.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Down it goes, five.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- APPLAUSE - Very, very well done indeed. Well remembered.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34This is much more like it. Still not pointless though,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37so you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43Your third and final answer was Davros.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46We're looking for returning characters from Doctor Who. Davros.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53It has to be pointless if you're going to win that jackpot of £3,250
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Let's see how many people said Davros? Is it right?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It's absolutely right.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Cybermen took us down to 26.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09K-9 then took us down tantalisingly close to five.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Davros, down into single figures. Down it goes.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Oh, yes! You've done it!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15CHEERING
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Very well done. That's brilliant. Absolutely fantastic.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Fantastic, wow!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Well, congratulations.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38That's how you do it.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Davros was a pointless answer,
0:41:40 > 0:41:44which means you go home with our jackpot of £3,250.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46APPLAUSE
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Eurodisney, here we come! Fantastic. - I might tag along now!
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- LAUGHTER - Rich?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Congratulations, Kriss and Lyn. Terrific.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I've rarely seen people more surprised at having won.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Very good. He's the creator of the Daleks, of course. Davros.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Nice to see him doing good for a change.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Lots of people love Doctor Who, so they will have got some of these.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18They'll be shocked they're pointless, but they are.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20The Autons, the life-sized plastic dummies,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23they were the first creatures to be brought back by Russell T Davies.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The cybermats, those are the small cybernetic creatures
0:42:25 > 0:42:28that the Cybermen use. There's Davros.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33Macra is a giant crustacean race who consume humans wherever possible.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The Nestene. Rassilon, who's played by Timothy Dalton
0:42:37 > 0:42:38in the new incarnation.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42And the Silurians, who started in 1970 with John Pertwee.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Brought back in 2010 with Matt Smith.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thanks very much. Thanks once again to our winning players.
