0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the aim of the game is to score as few points as you possibly can.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34And to do that, you need to come up with the answers that no-one else can think of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, first up, we welcome back Helen and Josie.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47You were on the show last time - everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51This is your second chance. Helen, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53We went to school together back in Newcastle,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and now we both go to the same university in Leeds as well.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And Josie, what happened last time?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We scraped through to the head-to-head.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- You didn't scrape by any means! - It was lucky that they got it wrong.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And then we messed up on Marie Curie.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Now, Helen, what are your hobbies?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I am really into my music,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm a member of the rock soc at university.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- Rock soc?- It's just a lot of talking about music.- Wow.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Favourite band?- Probably Iron Maiden.- Iron Maiden, really?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Big fan.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31The other thing we need to know about Helen is she is a physicist.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33She specialises in nanotechnology.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Josie, a geographer, second year. - Yes, I do a bit of acting and stuff.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41What sort of acting have you done?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45I did a couple of musicals, a couple of Shakespeare plays,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and my claim to fame is I was in the last ever episode of Byker Grove.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52What about that, you were in Byker Grove?!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I'm from Newcastle, so it's a rite of passage.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Well, you made it to the head-to-head, you did so well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It was looking at one stage like you were going to go right to
0:02:00 > 0:02:04the final, so best of luck, surely, you have to be favourite today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Next, we welcome Paul and Steve. How do you know each other?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We work together on the railway as guards.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Which particular line are you on?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16We cover Lincoln, Leicester via Nottingham, Lincoln-Cleethorpes,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Lincoln-Doncaster, Lincoln-Peterborough,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Nottingham-Worksop, Nottingham-Skegness,
0:02:22 > 0:02:23so a few different ones.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26You forgot to mention the replacement bus service!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28LAUGHTER
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Oh, I just hate replacement bus services.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33The worst thing in the world.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37On a train on a Sunday, they don't tell you until quite soon before.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I don't know why - because they know you might fling yourself from the train.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42I bet people would, they'd think,
0:02:42 > 0:02:47"I'm just going to take my chances", get their luggage and jump off.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51But you just think, "I'm going to get on a bus now?" And you do.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And it's always leftover buses from the '50s.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57"There is no way this is getting up a hill."
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Is there a station you haven't been to?- Not in the UK, no.- No!
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Every single station.- Really? - Even the underground.- I've got one.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Bisborough Junction.- Pardon? - Bisborough Junction.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- No such place.- Ahh! He's good!
0:03:10 > 0:03:16He is good. There's a clue there in that there is no such place as Bisborough.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, there might be!
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Steve, what's going to be great for you, what are your strongest suits?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Stamp collecting.- A philatelist?
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- No, I don't play any musical instruments.- Ha! Very good.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So, stamp collecting. That hasn't really come up before, but it might.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Neither has the entire train network of the UK, but you never know.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Best of luck, Paul and Steve,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42lovely having you on the show.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Next, we welcome Mel and Pam. Now, how do you know each other?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We met at a school dance in 1964, we got married
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and we've been quick stepping ever since.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Now, what do you do? - I'm a retired schoolteacher.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Retired schoolteachers always do well on pointless, don't they?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Yes, schoolteachers do badly, retired teachers do well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Oh, thank you. - What did you teach, Mel?
0:04:07 > 0:04:13I taught English and drama and a bit of history occasionally.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16"English, drama and a bit of history"
0:04:16 > 0:04:18is basically the subtitle of Pointless.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- That's what we do.- I'm hoping.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Pam, what are you going to bring to the party?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Politics, current affairs.- You two are just terrifying!- A bit of sport.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30If a Pointless team could be created in a laboratory,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32this is what they would look like.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35And believe me, I'm still trying.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36LAUGHTER
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, Mel and Pam, it's lovely having you on the show.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Best of luck to you. And finally, we welcome Derek and Stuart.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45How do you know each other?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I'm actually a pub quiz master,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and this man started coming to my quizzes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Through that, we ended up becoming quite good friends.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Well, we tolerate each other.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Are you going to be quite competitive as a team?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Naturally, yes.- But are you going to be competitive within your team?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Yes, absolutely.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04So if Stuart gets a low score,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Derek, you are going to have to get a low score.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I think it's more likely to be the other way around.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Really? Derek, what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16What are the really strong suits in the Derek hand?
0:05:16 > 0:05:21TV, sport, definitely music. I'm a disc jockey as well.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Stuart, what do you want to add to that?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27American crime dramas is probably one of my strong points.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Sports good for you, Stuart? - I'm quite a sports fan.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm not very sporty myself,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36but I do enjoy watching sports and learning about sports.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Well, we'll find out more about all of you through the show
0:05:39 > 0:05:42as it goes along. There's only one person left to introduce,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46he is the patron saint of obscurity, He is my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Logically, that would be Saint Richard.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yeah, but you're one of those people who dropped the "Saint",
0:06:00 > 0:06:02you don't like the "Saint" bit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Yes, I don't use my title. With some people I do.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09To get tables at restaurants, I'll say, "It's for Saint Richard."
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But family and stuff, you know, call me Ricky.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16My family call me Ricky, always have done. Don't you start that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- I'm going to stick with R-Dog. - Good, good.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Now, Mel is a teacher, or was a teacher,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24but you can tell what sort of teacher Mel was.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Definitely.- Just awesome.- Yes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Beard, bowtie, English, bit of history, drama.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33That's not a boring lesson.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35In the film of Mel's life,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38if Gene Wilder is still around to play him, I would say
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- that would be quite a good...- Yes, Gene Wilder would be a good Mel.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm going to spend almost the whole show trying to think
0:06:44 > 0:06:47of obscure railway stations trying to catch Paul out.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Keep them coming, keep them coming.- Brilliant.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people
0:06:54 > 0:06:56before the show. In order to get to the final round,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and have a chance to win our jackpot, our contestants need
0:06:59 > 0:07:02to find the obscure answers those 100 people did not guess.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you will score.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11which none of our 100 people knew.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Nobody won last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Today's jackpot is £8,500.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37In this first round, each of you must give one answer
0:07:37 > 0:07:42and you cannot confer with your partner. Whichever pair has the highest score at the end
0:07:42 > 0:07:45of the round will be eliminated, so try make sure that is not you.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Our first category today is... Brainboxes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first and second?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57And who ever is going first, step up to the podium.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04OK, our first question concerns...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09On each pass, we're going to give you the surnames of seven
0:08:09 > 0:08:13famous scientists, can you give us their first name?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16As always, a nice, obscure answer scores you the fewest points,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19an incorrect answer will score you 100 points.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21There will be 14 surnames, and all 14 first names to guess at home.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Thanks very much. Helen and Josie, you all drew lots before the show,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and today you are going to go first.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31We are looking for the first names of these scientists,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35and we have got on our first board...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'll read those all one more time.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14There we are, seven famous scientists.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16With their first names missing.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Josie, you need to find the most obscure first name
0:09:19 > 0:09:21you know on that board.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, um, this is Helen's strong point.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I know a few, and I think I can probably guess a few,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32but I wouldn't want to guess and get them wrong.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36So I'm going to go with Galileo Galilei.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Galileo Galilei. Let's see if that is right,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Absolutely right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5313.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Very, very well played, that is a great answer and a great score.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02He began observing the heavens in 1609, Galileo Galilei.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06His telescopes, or his instruments, at that point,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08only magnified by 20 times.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Paul.- Right, I'm going to go for... Fleming.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Alexander.- OK, you're going to go for Alexander Fleming,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Absolutely right.
0:10:26 > 0:10:2842.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31APPLAUSE
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- 42 for Alexander Fleming. - Well played, Paul.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's a fairly big score, isn't it? He discovered penicillin.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The temptation with Fleming is to say Ian, isn't it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Nine of our 100 people answered Ian to that question.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44LAUGHTER
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Now then, Pam.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I'm going to go with Pasteur, Louis.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Louis Pasteur, says Pam. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Absolutely right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:0360.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06APPLAUSE
0:11:06 > 0:11:08There is a high score. Louis Pasteur.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yes, our 100 people know their scientists.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12He did all sorts of things, Louis Pasteur,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but most famously he created the process of pasteurisation.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Derek, you are the last person to have this board. Talk us through it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Well, Planck, Priestley and Crick I have absolutely no idea.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So, I know it's going to be a big scorer,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31but I'm going to have to go for Hawking - Stephen Hawking.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You're going to Hawking, Stephen, says Derek.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Let's see if it's right and how many people said Stephen Hawking.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Wow, 58.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47APPLAUSE
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Wow. So Stephen Hawking scores less than Louis Pasteur.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I know, amazing, isn't it? You would have put money on him
0:11:56 > 0:11:59being the highest score on that board, I think.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Max Planck would've scored you 11 and Francis Crick discovered
0:12:05 > 0:12:08the molecular structure of DNA. He would've scored you two points.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The best answer, despite the enormity of what he achieved.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16And Priestley is the man who discovered oxygen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Clever man.- He called it dephlogisticated air.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Didn't really catch on.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Really clever man.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Wow.- He was Joseph Priestley. - Joseph.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29So Francis Crick was actually the best answer on the board.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31HE SIGHS
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Just taking a bit of defloxicated air there.- Dephlogisticated.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40De, sorry... Just taking a bit of dephlogisticated air there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46That's nice, isn't it? Before him, no-one could breathe.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49LAUGHTER
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Presumably this was just something he stumbled on by accident when
0:12:53 > 0:12:58he was trying to turn a bit of bird droppings into gold or something.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Yes, he was mowing the lawn one day and took a breath of air
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and coughed up some oxygen.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11He went, "Hold on. That doesn't look like phlogisticated air."
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- Clever, clever man.- Do you know who gave it the name oxygen?- No.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19John Michel Jarre.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21LAUGHTER
0:13:22 > 0:13:26OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Josie and Helen are ahead by a long way with 13, a lovely low score.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36Then we go from there quite a hike to 42, where we find Paul and Steve.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40From there, up to 58 with Derek and Stuart, and just up to 60 where
0:13:40 > 0:13:45we find Pam and Mel, so, Mel, we need a good low score from you
0:13:45 > 0:13:48in the next pass to make sure you remain with us at the end of the round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50We're going to come back down the line.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Second players, take your places.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57OK, we're going to put seven more scientists on the board,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and here they are - surnames only...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I will read those all one last time.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45We're looking for the first names of these scientists, and Stuart,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47you will be trying to find the one you think the fewest people knew.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49The high scorers on 60
0:14:49 > 0:14:52are Mel and Pam - you're on 58. So if you can score 1 or less, Stuart,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55you will avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Board doesn't look good to me at all.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00There's one or two I know, but I think
0:15:00 > 0:15:03they'll probably be high scorers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Going to take a punt...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10..and say...
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Francis Jenner.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Francis Jenner - let's see if that's right,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and how many people said it. There is your red line, at the bottom.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Oh, bad luck, Stuart! I'm afraid that's
0:15:22 > 0:15:25an incorrect answer, which scores you 100 points,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28taking your total up to 158.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Richard?- Yeah - sorry, Stuart, I suppose
0:15:30 > 0:15:31you had to take a risk there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I'll give you the right answer at the end of the pass.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37OK. Thanks, Richard. Now, then, Mel -
0:15:37 > 0:15:39the high scorers are now Stuart and Derek on 158,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44you're on 60 - a score of 97 or less will keep you in the game.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Thanks very much(!) It's a science board,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48and I'm an arts man, but, er,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50playing it safe, Newton -
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Isaac Newton.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Isaac Newton, says Mel.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Here is your red line.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Get below that, you're through to the next round. Let's see
0:15:58 > 0:16:00how many people said Isaac Newton.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Absolutely right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:0773! It's a high score
0:16:07 > 0:16:10but you are through to the next round. 133 is your total.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12APPLAUSE
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Well done, Mel. Regarded as one of the greatest scientists ever.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- He was also very briefly an MP. - OK, thanks, Richard.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Steve, I've got great news for you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You are in Round Two, whatever happens -
0:16:22 > 0:16:25even if you score 100 points, you are in Round Two,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27you won't overtake Stuart and Derek's 158.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Bearing that in mind,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33see if you can give us an answer from this board.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I think I know a couple.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I don't really want to guess on the others,
0:16:38 > 0:16:39because I wouldn't know.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Edison, Thomas. - Thomas Edison, says Steve.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47No red line for you - you're already through.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Absolutely right.
0:16:52 > 0:16:5449!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- APPLAUSE - Takes your total up to 91.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Well done, Steve. Thomas Edison had a world-record 1,093 patents.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06They must have loved him at the Patent Office.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Now, then, good news for you, Helen, also -
0:17:10 > 0:17:12you are through to the next round.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Fill in the blanks for us.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I think Jenner was called Edward Jenner,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18but I'm not sure.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Mendel, I don't have a clue what his name was,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23but I know he played with peas - that was what he did.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25He played with peas?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27He did genetics with peas, if I remember rightly.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and he was a monk - I think, I might be wrong. I think Hubble's
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Edwin, and Franklin's obviously Benjamin.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But I think... I've never heard of Babbage, so,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40seeing as we're already through, I'm just going to risk it,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42and try and get a pointless answer
0:17:42 > 0:17:44and go for James, maybe?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- James Babbage.- Yeah.- Good for you. Let's see. James Babbage -
0:17:47 > 0:17:49is it right? How many people said it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Oh! Wouldn't that have been great if that had been right?- It would!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Almost certainly, if you haven't heard of him, he must be pointless.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Unfortunately, an incorrect answer
0:18:00 > 0:18:03scores you the maximum 100 points. Couldn't matter less, though -
0:18:03 > 0:18:06you're through to the next round anyway, but your total is 113.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Richard.- Babbage, actually, very much the forefather of all computing.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12He invented all sorts of automated calculating machines
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and things like that - Charles Babbage.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18That would have scored you 15 points, so far from pointless.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You were right about Franklin - it's Benjamin.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25And you were right about Hubble as well,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28a much better answer, which would have scored 6 points.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You're right about Jenner - Edward Jenner.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3313 points.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And Mendel - you're right about the peas and genetic experiments.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39His name was Gregor.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41That would have scored you 3 points.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42That's the best answer on the board.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Born Johann Mendel - we would have accepted that as well.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- But Gregor Mendel.- Did he change it because there was already
0:18:48 > 0:18:50a scientist called Johann Mendel,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- and he had to change it? - Yeah, he had to change it, yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57the losing pair, with the highest score,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'm sorry to say, Stuart and Derek, it is you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Jenner was tough,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but did you know any of the other ones?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Charles Babbage I was looking at,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07but I thought it would have been a lot higher than it was, so...
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- that's the way it goes.- It is. Well, you did the right thing.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You had a punt, and tried to find a good, low-scoring answer,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16you just happened to get it wrong.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19But it bodes well for next time. We look forward to seeing you then.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26APPLAUSE
0:19:26 > 0:19:30For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will have to leave us,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40so we have only two pairs left for the Head-to-Head Round.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42You're all in Round Two, where anything can happen.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Animated Film. Can you all decide who's going to go first
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and who's going to go second.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Shrek
0:20:04 > 0:20:06voice actors as they could. Richard.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Yes. Anyone who's received a voice acting credit
0:20:09 > 0:20:12for any of the four theatrically- released Shrek films
0:20:12 > 0:20:15up to 2012. They are of course Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek The Third
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and Shrek Forever After.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And this is according to IMDB.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Anyone who has received a voice acting credit for any
0:20:22 > 0:20:25of the four Shrek films - very best of luck.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Thanks very much, Richard. So, then, Helen...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I've only actually seen the first two, but one of my favourite
0:20:31 > 0:20:36characters is the Fairy Godmother, because she's just so horrible,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and I do believe she's voiced by Jennifer Saunders?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Jennifer Saunders, says Helen.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Absolutely right.
0:20:53 > 0:20:548
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- APPLAUSE - That's a brilliant answer, Helen.
0:20:58 > 0:21:008, for Jennifer Saunders.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Good start to the round, Helen.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04She plays the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Now, then, Paul.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08I'm going to have a guess as well,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11because I haven't really seen them that much.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Erm, can I go...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Eddie Murphy, donkey?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Eddie Murphy, says Paul.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Is it right? And how many people said Eddie Murphy?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Absolutely right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:2755.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30APPLAUSE
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Yeah, he's in all four of them, Paul, so it's a good answer.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Better than getting 100.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38And Beverly Hills Cop was the thing that really made his name.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Now, then, Mel,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42the most obscure Shrek actor you can think of...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm racking my brains here. Erm...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I think, er,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50John Cleese may have been in it?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52John Cleese, says Mel. Let's see if it's right,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54and how many people said John Cleese.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Absolutely right.
0:22:05 > 0:22:0612! Good answer, Mel!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09APPLAUSE
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Well played Mel. Plays King Harold in the last three Shrek films.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Helen and Josie looking very strong
0:22:20 > 0:22:22on a lovely low score of 8 there.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Then up to 12, where we find Mel and Pam.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And then 55, where we find Paul and Steve.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So, Steve, bit of a mountain to climb on the next pass.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Best of luck. Let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK, we're looking for Shrek actors.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Now, then, Pam, the high scorers
0:22:45 > 0:22:48on 55 are Steve and Paul. You're on 12 -
0:22:48 > 0:22:50if you score 32 or less,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I'm going to have to go with "Anthony Banderos",
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- who played the cat. - "Anthony Banderos"...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- I think that's how you pronounce it. - ..says Pam. There is your red line.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Let's see if Anthony Banderos is right,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and let's see how many people said it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Oh, bad luck, Pam. I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- That takes your total up to 112. Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Pam.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I'll go through all the reasons at the end of the round.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Now then, Steve. Pam and Mel are now the high scorers on 112, you're on 55.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30If you can score 56 or less, you are in the next round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I've never seen it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I'll just guess...Cameron Diaz.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Cameron Diaz, says Steve.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Is it right? How many people said it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Absolutely right, Steve. And you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Very well done. 39. - APPLAUSE
0:23:52 > 0:23:57- 39 takes your total up to 94. - Was that a genuine guess, Steve?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Yes. Yeah. Never seen it. - Wow, how about that?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03She plays Princess Fiona. She's the main female character in it,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05plays Princess Fiona in all four films.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07She did a lot of animated films.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- That's pretty good, isn't it? - Isn't it? That's impressive.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13That's a train guard you don't want to come up against. LAUGHTER
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Make sure you have your tickets.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Yeah, no kidding. - Now then, Josie, good news. You're through to the next round.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Whatever happens, you won't overtake Pam and Mel's score of 112.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27You're on 8. So, we're looking for any actor who received a credit in the Shrek films.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Have you got a good, low-scoring answer?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Erm, I'm not sure. I know quite a few of them.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I think you were thinking of Antonio Banderas,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38who plays Puss In Boots.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43I think Mike Myers is Shrek, erm,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Rupert Everett is Prince Charming, I know that much.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And...
0:24:49 > 0:24:54I think John Lithgow was Lord Farquaad in the first film,
0:24:54 > 0:24:59and seeing as we're already through, I'm going to go with John Lithgow.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01John Lithgow. Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03No red line for you, you're already through.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Absolutely right.
0:25:13 > 0:25:146 for John Lithgow.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16What a brilliant answer, Josie.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Takes your total up to 14.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22APPLAUSE
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And you're absolutely right, played Lord Farquaad in the first film.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Rupert Everett would have been an even better answer,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31would've scored 4 points. Not pointless, though.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Pam, it's Antonio Banderas not Anthony Banderas.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34I can't give it to you just in case
0:25:34 > 0:25:37somebody else wanted to give the same answer. I'm very sorry.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers, though.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Amy Poehler was in Shrek 3,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Ian McShane plays Captain Hook in Shrek The Third.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Jane Lynch probably best known as Sue Sylvester in Glee,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50she is in Shrek Forever After.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Joan Rivers is in Shrek 2.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Jon Hamm plays Brogan The Ogre in Shrek Forever After.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Jon Hamm, the guy from Mad Men, Perhaps most famously. Plays Don Draper.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The Ugly Sisters are played by two veterans of American television,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08one is talk show host Larry King who would have been a pointless answer,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and the other is Regis Philbin,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13the morning host, and the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The host of American Idol, Ryan Seacrest,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18also provides a voice in Shrek Forever After,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and Seth Rogen, star of Knocked Up, he's in Shrek The Third.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25So, very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- What were our high-scorers? - Yeah, let's take a look at the high-scorers,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30these are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34These will be familiar already. Mike Myers, 32.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Cameron Diaz, 39, as Steve gave us.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And Eddie Murphy, top of the pile by quite a long way on 55.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48So, at the end of Round Two the losing pair with the highest score, I'm sorry to say, Pam and Mel.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53We'll see you again next time, and we look forward to that very much.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Pam and Mel. Thanks for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:26:59But, for the remaining two pairs things are about to get
0:26:59 > 0:27:01even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well, congratulations, Helen and Josie, Paul and Steve,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12you are now only one round away from the final
0:27:12 > 0:27:16and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £8,500.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:27:18 > 0:27:20APPLAUSE
0:27:20 > 0:27:22OK, you're now going head-to-head, and the first pair
0:27:22 > 0:27:25to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The big news is, from here on in you are allowed to confer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, Helen and Josie, you've been here before.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Only last time you were up against the prof.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What do you think of our train guards?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42It's pretty intimidating that he knows and has been to all the train stations in the UK.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44There better not be a train question.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49- LAUGHTER - Well, on that note, let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Musical instruments. Richard.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Simply going to show you five images of musical instruments.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Can you tell us what the instruments are?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Thanks, Richard. OK, here are our five musical instruments, and we have got...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35There we are. 5 musical instruments.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Helen and Josie, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43WHISPERING
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Erm, I used to play this,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48so we're going to go with C, the oboe.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51C, the oboe, say Helen and Josie.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Paul and Steve.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Talk us through the board, if you like.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- The piano and the tambourine are easy, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01But, I don't know what E is.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Don't know what A is, either.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Is A a bassoon?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Could be a bassoon, yeah, but...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09A, bassoon.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11You're going to say A is a bassoon.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14OK, so, Helen and Josie are saying C is an oboe.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Let's see that's right,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said C - oboe.
0:29:20 > 0:29:26Absolutely right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- 22. - APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Paul and Steve are saying that A is a bassoon.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Let's see that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said A was a bassoon.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Bad luck, Paul and Steve. Good guess, though.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Which means, after one question,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Helen and Josie, you are up one-nil.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Richard.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Sorry guys. Do you know what A is?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- It's a sousaphone. - It is a sousaphone.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58One of those that you can wear as you are playing it.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Would have scored you 13 points.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04B is a tambourine. As you worked out,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06no point going for it, as it would have scored you too many points.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Would have scored you 77.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- How many of our 100 people got this? - LAUGHTER
0:30:12 > 0:30:1598. 98.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- TWO people... - LAUGHTER
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Two people looked at that and thought...
0:30:21 > 0:30:23"I am going to say...
0:30:23 > 0:30:25"It's not triangle, is it? Is it a triangle?"
0:30:25 > 0:30:27LAUGHTER
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Yeah, 98. Do you know the last one? It's actually a pointless answer.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32- I have no idea.- It's familiar,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35a ring of beads around a hollow gourd, used a lot in Caribbean music.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37It's a cabasa.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- A cabasa.- Cabasa. Did you know that one?- I knew it, yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44But I didn't want to risk it and get it wrong.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Well, would have added £250 to the already rather large jackpot.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Very well done if you got that at home.- Very good.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Well, here comes our second question. Now, Paul and Steve,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56we need you to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58It concerns...
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We're going to show you five common terms for parts of the ear,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Can you fill them in and give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12OK, here come our five parts of the ear with missing alternate letters.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14And we have got...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I'm going to read them again without seeing "Blank."
0:31:43 > 0:31:46There we are, five parts of the ear with alternate missing letters.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Paul and Steve, you go first this time.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52WHISPERING
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Second one is stirrup.
0:31:58 > 0:32:05Stirrup. Paul and Steve are saying Stirrup. Now then, Helen and Josie.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Talk us through the other answers and see how many you can fill in.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I had to do a medical physics module in my physics GCSE,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14so, the top one's the Eustachian tube,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16the third one's the cochlea,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18the fourth one's the eardrum,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21and I've no idea what the bottom one is.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- We'll go for the Eustachian tube. - Yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Eustachian tube. - I really hope I'm not wrong.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK, we have stirrup, we have Eustachian tube.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Paul and Steve, good luck. You have to win this one.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Stirrup - is it right? How many people said it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Absolutely right.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- It's a popular one. - APPLAUSE
0:32:47 > 0:32:49So, 50 is what you have to beat,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Helen and Josie, and if you do,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54you go straight through to the final on the strength of it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Let's see. Eustachian tube - is it right? How many people said it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Absolutely right.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05You've done it!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Wow! 6!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12APPLAUSE
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Very, very well played, Helen and Josie.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Eustachian tube wins it for you, which means,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22after only two questions, you are through to the final, two-nil.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Yeah, but Eustachian tube, such a shame,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27because Paul has been to Euston Station Tube.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30LAUGHTER It's that close. That close.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37We've already heard cochlea, that was absolutely right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39That would have scored 24.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Eardrum, you are right, as well. 63.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The other one is a pointless answer, actually.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I don't know if you ever came across it,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48the utriculus. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Thanks, Richard.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54Well, the losing pair at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid is Paul and Steve.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56But, good news for us, we get to see you again.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Steve, what sort of shirt are you going to wear next time?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- A plain one.- No!
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Really?- I thought I was coming for an audition for Hawaii Five-0 remake.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- LAUGHTER - Oh, you are, by the way, and you got the part.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11You know when sometimes they say you won't notice
0:34:11 > 0:34:14the revenue inspectors on the trains cos they wear plain clothes?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18I'm guessing that's not you. LAUGHTER
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Paul and Steve, we look forward to seeing you next time.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- Meanwhile, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants, thank you.- Thank you.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27APPLAUSE
0:34:27 > 0:34:30But, for Helen and Josie, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Congratulations, Helen and Josie, you've fought off all the competition,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54- At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £8,500. - APPLAUSE
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Your Pointless careers have been exemplary, I have to say.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02You've done exactly what we like people to do.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06You made it through to the head-to-head in your first game, through to the final today.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Now, I would say the odds are going to be pretty short on you winning.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Well, we'll just have to see.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16We did not think we would get this far, even.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Now then, the rules are very simple.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24To win that money, £8,500, you have to find a pointless answer. That's all you have to do.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You only have to find one now, and you'll go home with that money.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31First, though, you've got to choose a category.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34You have five categories to choose from. They are...
0:35:47 > 0:35:50You'd think we'd go for The Solar System, cos I do physics,
0:35:50 > 0:35:51but I can't stand astrophysics.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- I love astrophysics.- She really likes it.- I really like stars and stuff.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Erm, Funky Music, that could go terribly badly.- Yeah.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Football Managers, we don't know any past, like, '95.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08- 20th Century Fiction...- No.- Shall we just go for The Solar System?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Yeah, we'll go for Solar System. - We'll go for Solar System, please.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13OK, very best of luck.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:18 > 0:36:21to name as many moons of Jupiter as they could.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Moons of Jupiter. Richard.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25According to NASA's official website,
0:36:25 > 0:36:29there are 50 natural satellites or moons orbiting Jupiter
0:36:29 > 0:36:32that have been named and discovered as of May 2012.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Can you name the most obscure of those, please? Very best of luck.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44And all you need to win that £8,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Titus? Is Titus one?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Titus is definitely a moon somewhere, I think.- Io.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Io, we'll have that one. There's one made out of, all of lava.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Oh, yeah.- It was on Things In The Universe. Oh!
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I don't know any other ones.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09They're all named after, like, Greek gods and stuff.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10So, can we think of any?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14They're things that pulled the chariots or something, aren't they?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15I don't know. Erm...
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Titus, Io. They're ones that everyone is going to get.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- Trevor.- They're not going to name a moon Trevor.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31LAUGHTER
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Right.- More interesting, if they did.- Greek things.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- Andromeda?- Andromeda is in... - A comet, or something, isn't it?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41No, it's a star.
0:37:41 > 0:37:4310 seconds left.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Icarus.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Shall we go for them?- OK. - OK, you have your three answers.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56We were looking for the moons of Jupiter. What are they?
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- We're going to have Titus. - Titus.- Io.- Io.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- And, er, what did we just say? Icarus.- And Icarus.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Yeah, that's a big guess. - OK, those are our three answers.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Of those three, which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:12 > 0:38:18I think Io, but that might be a moon on Saturn, but we'll go for Io.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21OK, we'll put Io last on the board. Which shall we put first?
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- BOTH: Icarus! - We'll put Icarus up there first.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, let's put them up in that order, and here they come. We have got...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35So, we're looking for moons of Jupiter.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Your first answer, Icarus, you might have just made up.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41We know who he was,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44but he sounds like a likely name for a moon of Jupiter.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Yeah, well, they all seem to be named, like Titus and Andromeda,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50I think are... No, they're Romans not Greeks, maybe,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52but they're all named after mythical things, normally, so...
0:38:52 > 0:38:57There we are, exactly. OK, well, Icarus, your first answer.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £8,500.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03What would you do with £8,500, Helen?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I may have promised my sister that I'd buy her a banger car,
0:39:06 > 0:39:10so I don't really want to get the money, cos then I have to buy her a car!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12LAUGHTER
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Well, make it a real banger, and there might still be 8,000 left.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20I don't know what I would do. I'd probably just be like, "What?!
0:39:20 > 0:39:23"This much money? We're students. That doesn't happen."
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Well, very, very best of luck. You deserve it.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Let's see, Icarus, is it right?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- I tell you what, that's Jupiter's loss. - LAUGHTER
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Titus and Io, you're pretty confident that those are correct.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- If they are around Jupiter.- Yeah. - They might be around somewhere else.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52OK, well, we're looking for moons of Jupiter,
0:39:52 > 0:39:55let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is Titus.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Again, this has to be correct, has to be pointless,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02and if it's both of those things, you will leave here with £8,500.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Very best of luck. Let's see how many people said Titus.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Oh, no! Bad luck!- It's Titan, isn't it?- Yeah, it's Titan.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Everything is now resting on Io. We are looking for moons of Jupiter.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24Your third and final answer, your most confident shot at a pointless answer, you reckoned, was Io.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29To win that jackpot of £8,500 this has to be correct, has to be pointless.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Very best of luck.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Please can this be right, and please can this be pointless. Io. How many people said it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- It's right.- Well done. - Icarus, bit of a guess.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Unsurprisingly, incorrect.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Titus, incorrect, but more in the right ballpark.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Oh, no! 19. Oh, no!
0:40:51 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:40:57It was right!
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer, I'm afraid,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09but, you do get to take home our fabulous Pointless trophy. Very, very well done.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- APPLAUSE - Richly deserved.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Yeah, you have to give your sister an IOU, Helen. I'm afraid.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- HELEN MOUTHS:- No
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Yes, really, really unlucky, you played so well throughout two shows.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Tough final category. Titan is a moon of Saturn, not of Jupiter.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Icarus, there's a crater on our moon which is Icarus,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34but no moon of Jupiter, I'm afraid.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- They called a crater Icarus? That's a bit tasteless, isn't it? - LAUGHTER
0:41:39 > 0:41:41I mean, it's apt.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Let's take a look at the pointless answers, shall we?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Autonoe was a pointless answer.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Carme, Eukelade, talking of musical instruments.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Hegemone, Herse, Kale.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Megaclite, Sponde and Taygete, all of those pointless answers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Very well done if you said any of those. Any of those ring a bell?
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- Yeah, all of them, I mean, I'm kicking myself.- Knew them all. - LAUGHTER
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Why you didn't get Hegemone and Eukelade, I do not know.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- I know.- Sponde. Everyone knows Sponde.- Come on(!)
0:42:13 > 0:42:16That where we get "spondulix" from. From Sponde. LAUGHTER
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Helen and Josie. You've just been superb contestants.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24It's been great having you on the show. I'm really sorry you haven't got more to take away
0:42:24 > 0:42:28than just the trophy, cos you certainly deserve to, but thanks so much for playing.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- Brilliant. - APPLAUSE
0:42:33 > 0:42:36So, Helen and Josie didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:36 > 0:42:41which means it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £9,500.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE
