Episode 32 Pointless

Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

Let's meet today's players.

First we welcome back Natalie and Vanessa. You were here last time.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second and final chance.

-Remind us how you know each other.

-We met through an online forum for Japanese culture.

-Vanessa, what happened last time?

-We did well in the first round,

then the second round came up on cookbooks and their authors.

I know cooking and I love to cook, but I don't...I can't pair up.

-They were quite hard.

-Incredibly difficult.

A few from the '60s and '70s. I thought they'd all be recent ones.

-I was only born in the '80s.

-There you are. It was tough.

Natalie, what do you hope comes up?

It would be nice if some film or TV came up.

-Vanessa?

-Maybe gaming, computer gaming consoles.

-Something like that.

-All sounds very good. Welcome back to the show.

You made it to the second round last time. Let's hope we see more today.

Next we welcome back Carrie and Mary. How do you know each other?

-Carrie's actually my partner.

-And, Carrie, what happened last time?

We had capital cities, which Mary remembered after the show! So...

You came up with a good answer, a right answer.

Just a very high-scoring one. Mary, what are you hoping to see today?

-Possibly sport of some nature.

-You're a massive Newcastle United fan.

-I am, yes.

-OK.

-What are your hobbies, Mary?

-We do most sports - football, netball.

-We surf and body board. We like to do pub quizzes.

-Excellent.

Pub quizzes are good training ground for Pointless. Carrie?

-I wouldn't mind a bit of literature, geography, some history.

-Excellent.

Next we welcome back Jemma and Martin, also on the show last time. Jemma, how do you know each other?

-We're father and daughter.

-Martin, what happened last time?

-We lost in the Head to Head.

-Well, yes...

You did, but you made it all the way through to a needle Head to Head.

Martin, what do you hope comes up?

-As I messed up sport, perhaps I better not say sport this time.

-You hope to redeem yourself?

-Or history or even pop music if it's...Sixties, Seventies.

-OK.

Sixties, Seventies. Jemma, what would be good for you?

Yeah, film, pop music, but Nineties and Noughties, please.

Great. You pick up where Martin leaves off. Anything you dread?

-Politics.

-Politics. It occasionally comes up, but it's quite rare.

Very best of luck. You did so well.

-And, finally, we've got Susan and Wayne. How do you know each other?

-We are married.

-And where are you from?

-Northampton.

-Wayne, what do you do in Northampton?

Well, I live there, but I work in Southampton, which is bizarre.

-They sound like they should be neighbours.

-It's a bit of a drive.

-Why not live near Southampton?

-Oh, yeah!

-That's a good idea. Let's move.

-OK, we will.

-We'll move.

-There we are. We've resolved something.

-Thank you.

-That's the service we offer.

-They could have worked that out themselves, I think.

-Doh!

-Do you think?

-Susan, what do you do?

-I'm a midwife.

-Do you get a bit bored or is each birth a thrilling moment?

-Every single birth is a really lovely experience.

-Imagine we're not being filmed. Do you get bored?

Yes. No! It's really just not boring. It's very long hours,

-it's very hard work, very stressful, but very rewarding.

-Stimulating. Have you ever had to catch a baby?

-Quite a lot. Literally, goalie gloves on.

-Wow!

Well, anatomy, biology, all these things will be good.

-Female reproductive system would be brilliant.

-Richard, I keep asking, "Please can we have that?"

I know you do. Although you don't put it in those terms.

No.

A very warm welcome. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

There's only one person left to introduce. He needs no introduction and yet I do one every day.

-He's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya. Hello.

Afternoon to you.

-Top of the day to you, sir.

-So three returning pairs, all familiar faces, which is nice.

-Quite a little jackpot boiling up.

-Massive now! Getting quite scary.

Yes, it is. It's going to be very tense. We've got some very competitive pairs, good pairs.

Round One is one of those ones you should have learnt about at school. So we'll all be terrible.

Something you said earlier made me laugh...which is rare. That's why I remembered it.

-You said politics very occasionally comes up, but it's very rare. Didn't you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

-Comes up sometimes, though.

-It does.

-People love it when a politics question comes up.

-They always do.

-Good!

-A nice surprise in Round Two.

Excellent. There's a treat.

All our questions have been put to 100 people. To get to the final round with a chance of our jackpot,

our contestants need the obscure answers the 100 people didn't get.

The fewer people who knew the answer, the fewer points they score.

Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.

Each time that happens, we add 250 quid to the jackpot.

Now nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.

Today's jackpot starts off at £12,500.

There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

Now each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.

Whichever pair has the highest score at the end will be eliminated, so try to make sure it's not you.

Our first category today is... languages.

Languages. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first?

And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

OK, the question concerns...

-French words for fruits and vegetables.

-I told you to think back to your school days.

We'll show you 14 French words for fruits and vegetables. Just give us the English translation.

Very best of luck at home.

OK. Now then, Natalie and Vanessa, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.

We're looking for English words for these French fruits and vegetables. And we have got...

READS LIST IN HEAVY ACCENT

Sorry. You just have to forgive me. I enjoy this more than I should.

CONTINUES READING

I'll read those one last time.

Natalie.

It's been quite a while since I did any French,

but I recognise a few of them.

But based on the fact that I think the French for green is "vert",

I'm going to go "un citron vert" being lime.

Citron vert, lime, says Natalie. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it.

Absolutely right, Natalie.

38.

38. That seems like a pretty good score. We'll know soon enough.

-Richard?

-Well played, Natalie. Well worked out as well. Translates as a green lemon.

-Very nice way to describe a lime.

-Isn't it? Well done, the French. It's good.

-Mary...

-As Natalie's pinched my answer, and French is really a language I use every day,

I'll go for "un abricot" as apricot.

Apricot, says Mary, for "abricot". Is that right and how many people knew that answer?

Absolutely right.

Ooh, that's a high score, Mary.

-70 for apricot.

-Yeah. There's 30 people looking at "abricot"

and thinking, "What can that be? What is that?

"I don't know. Is it a carrot? It's got a T in it."

Yeah, apricot. Dried apricots keep their colour using sulphur dioxide.

-They inject them with it to keep them that lovely colour.

-They INJECT them with it?

How else will you get sulphur dioxide in them?

There you go. Now then, Jemma.

Unfortunately, the children learn French in my class, but I don't teach it.

-Do they teach you?

-Yes, but... we do a lot of greetings and numbers and colours.

-Right.

I think I know a few, but I'm not 100% certain.

I'm going to go for "une cerise" being a cherry.

"Une cerise", cherry, says Jemma. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.

It's absolutely right.

-Very well done. Lowest score so far, Jemma.

-Brilliant.

-Very good. 29 for cherry.

-Well done, Jemma.

I love the thought that there's 30 six and seven-year-olds shouting answers at you through the telly.

How many in your class, if you said "un abricot" would get apricot?

-I think all 30 of them.

-I think all 30 would as well.

Susan, you're the last to go. We want the English words for these French terms.

"Une pomme" would be the most obvious one as an apple, maybe.

I think "une prune" sounds a bit obvious. Is it a prune or a date?

"Cassis" - I know creme de cassis is alcohol, but I can't remember which fruit it is.

It might be a blackberry. So I'll go for "une framboise",

which I think is raspberry.

OK, you say "une framboise", raspberry. Let's see if that's right and how many knew it.

"Framboise", raspberry.

24!

24 for raspberry.

Best answer of the round so far. "Framboise", raspberry. Also the alcohol distilled from raspberries.

Let's look at the rest. You're quite right about "pomme", apple. It would have scored 60.

-"Prune", though...

-It's actually a plum.

-Absolutely right.

It would have scored 12 points. What we call a prune is a dried plum.

-"Du cassis" - not blackberry, but...

-Blackcurrant.

-Blackcurrant. Absolutely right.

Very well done to anyone who got all of those, especially Jemma's class.

Thanks. Let's look at the scores.

Well, best score so far, Susan. Very well done.

Then up to 29, where we find Jemma and Martin. Up to 38, where we find Natalie and Vanessa.

Then quite a long way up to 70 where we find Mary and Carrie.

We need a nice low score from you, Carrie, and let's hope it's enough to keep you in the game.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, we'll put seven more French terms for fruit and veg on the board. Here they are. We have got...

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those one last time.

There we are. We're looking for the English translations of these.

Wayne, you want the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. The high scorers are Carrie and Mary

on 70. If you can score 45 or less, you are through to the next round.

OK. I think I know two, but I'm going to go for "une fraise" as strawberry.

Strawberry, "fraise", says Wayne. Is it right? How many said it?

There's your red line. Get below that and you're through to the next round for sure.

Yup. You've done it. You're through - 39! Very well done. That takes your total up to 63.

Safely through. The strawberry plant is a member of the rose family.

Martin...

What do you make of the board?

I could have a guess at two or three of them.

Could I try the bottom one? Grenadine?

Grenadine. "Grenade".

OK, grenadine says Martin. Let's see if it's right and how many said it.

No! Bad luck, Martin.

Good effort, but an incorrect answer as it turns out,

which scores you the maximum of 100 points and takes you to 129.

-Richard?

-Sorry, Martin. I'll give the correct answer at the end.

Now then, Carrie. You're currently on 70.

The high scorers are now on 129. If you can score 58 or less, you're through for sure.

Right, em...

I kind of know some of them, but I feel I've got to have a guess to try to get to the next round.

-So I'm going to try for "une noix de coco" as coconut.

-OK.

You're going to say coconut. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right.

Yep, well done. You're through.

15.

15 takes your total up to 85.

-Richard?

-Well played, Carrie. We'd have hated to see you go out in the first round both times.

The coco in coconut comes from the Portuguese for bogeyman.

-Because a coconut looks like a scary face.

-Wow. There you go.

Vanessa, you're on 38. The high scorers are Martin and Jemma on 129.

A score of 90 or less keeps you in the game.

-Is this good for you?

-Well, I did study French for seven years.

-So take us through the board where you can.

-I'm trying to hark back to my French days.

Un chou-fleur I think may be cauliflower.

Un ananas... may be banana, I think.

Un poireau... I'm not entirely sure.

Un oignon must be onion.

And I'm not sure what une grenade is.

I don't think they taught us that in A Level French.

I might just go for the safe answer

-and say une oignon, onion.

-OK.

Oignon, onion, you're saying.

There's your red line. If you get below that with onion, you are through. Best of luck.

Is onion right? How many people said it?

It's right and you're through! Very well done. 73. Good enough.

Good enough. Takes your total up to 111.

Perfect tactics there, Vanessa. I think you did the right thing there going for oignon.

A couple could have knocked you out. Chou-fleur was fine, cauliflower.

-That would have scored 32. Un ananas is...

-Pineapple!

-I got them mixed up.

So that would have knocked you out. 27 points. Une grenade?

You're right about grenadine. That's the syrup from this fruit.

-It's pomegranate. Four points. And poireau?

-Pear?

-It's not pear.

-Not a pear.

-Poire is pear.

Un poireau. It's a pointless answer. Very well done if you said leek.

-It's a leek.

-Ah!

So the famous Belgian detective Hercule Leek.

-It doesn't sound quite as good.

-I don't know. It has a ring to it.

Thanks. At the end of Round One, our losing pair are Martin and Jemma.

Dear, oh, dear.

Cook books very nearly saw you off last time, Martin, but somehow you managed to get through,

-but this time round it was French. French and cooking...

-No good.

-..have let you down.

Your father needs to brush up on his pointless French.

Anyway, such a shame to say goodbye. Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants.

But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.

So sadly at the end of this round another pair will be leaving us.

That was a very interesting round.

Very revealing and slightly surprising. Our newcomers, Susan and Wayne, lovely low scoring there.

Were you dreading that round at all? Or were you pretty confident?

-We were lucky.

-I was more worried with Wayne as his knowledge of French is really abysmal!

-We've been to France...

-Really?

-..and I talked a bit loudly.

-And just said...

-And Italian. It's really bad.

-Do you say, "Garcon! Garcon!"?

-We went to Italy and he basically kept saying, "Gracias" all the time!

-Gracias?

-Yeah, thank you.

-I'm a Brit abroad. Apart from the knotted hankie.

Very best of luck to all three pairs for Round Two. Our category is...politicians.

Can you all decide who is going to go first and who goes second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many UK MPs called David, Nick or Ed.

UK MPs named David, Nick or Ed, Richard.

Any male UK Member of Parliament as of May, 2012,

called David, Nick or Ed or any derivation thereof.

There's loads on the list and plenty of pointless politicians.

Thank you very much indeed.

Now then, Vanessa, is this good for you?

-UK MPs. It's fun, isn't it?

-Well, it depends on what your definition of fun is.

-This.

-This is my definition of fun.

-My definition of fun.

Um...

Not really a big fan of politics, not really up to date.

The only one I can give with somewhat confidence is Ed Miliband.

OK, so that's your answer. Ed Miliband. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right.

74.

-Yeah, Ed Miliband. He's called Ed. You've got to give him that.

-Yeah.

Now then, Mary, MPs called David, Nick or Ed. That's what we're after.

Political knowledge is as good as my French, so I'll have to pick Ed Balls.

Ed Balls says Mary. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.

61.

-Richard?

-The Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls. Again, a big answer, but acceptable. Ed is his name.

-Wayne...

-Apart from the obvious, Mr Cameron,

I'm probably going to go for Ed's brother, David Miliband.

David Miliband says Wayne. Is that right? How many people said David Miliband?

Absolutely right.

49.

Which is better.

Yes, the Labour MP for South Shields, David Miliband.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores. 49, the best score of the pass.

That's Wayne and Susan again looking very strong.

Then we travel up to 61 where we find Mary and Carrie, then up to 74 where we find Vanessa and Natalie.

Natalie, you'll be the last person to answer in this round,

so we'll need a brilliant answer from you and hope that's enough to keep you in the game.

Can the second players take their places at the podium?

OK, so we're looking for any MPs called David, Nick or Ed, Susan.

You'll try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

We haven't gone off the main drag here. We've kept pretty much on the big Nicks, Davids and Eds.

-I think we'll continue in that vein.

-The high scorers on 74 are Natalie and Vanessa. You're on 49.

If you can score 24 or less, you can avoid becoming the high scorers.

I'm definitely not going to score 24 or less.

It's a really bad subject for me.

I literally can't think of anybody else apart from Nick Clegg.

OK, Nick Clegg. Here is your red line.

Let's see where Nick Clegg gets you. Nick Clegg, how many people said that?

It's right.

APPLAUSE

Wow!

90 points for Nick Clegg. Takes your total up to 139. Wow!

-He is the Deputy Prime Minister.

-I know.

-And he is called Nick.

-I know. Ed Miliband only 74.

-Yeah, it's more than that.

I'll give you that. He's quite famous. He's kind of Will-i-am famous.

-I guess.

-He's that sort of level.

He's not as famous as Tom Jones. More famous than Danny from The Script.

He's a big fan of Prince, Nick Clegg.

-Is he really?

-Yeah.

-Is he really?

Now then, Carrie. The high scorers are now Susan and Wayne on 139. You're on 61.

A score of 77 or less keeps you in the game.

Yes, I just cannot think of anything

I'm going to have a bit of a guess and say David Davies.

David Davies, says Carrie. David Davies. Here is your red line.

If you get below it, you are through to the head-to-head.

Let's see how many people said David Davies.

Absolutely right and you are through.

3.

-APPLAUSE

-There we go, Carrie - 3.

It takes your total up to 64. Very well done indeed. Great answer.

Yeah, the Tory MP for Monmouth, David Davies.

-Thank you very much. Now then, Natalie.

-Hello.

-The high scorers are now Susan and Wayne on 139.

You're on 74. If you can score 64 or less, you are through to the next round.

I don't think that will happen. Politics is not my strong point. I apologise, Vanessa.

I'm not going to go for the obvious, Mr Cameron, because I think that will put me out,

so I'm going to pick one at random and choose a colour and hope that it works out.

Mary took Ed Balls which I knew and David Miliband I knew. I don't know any other ones.

So I'm going to take a random stab in the dark and say Nick Brown and hope for the best.

Nick Brown, says Natalie.

Let's find out. Nick Brown, how many people said it?

It's right.

And you are through to the next round.

And it's pointless!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Natalie, that's absolutely fantastic. That adds £250 to today's jackpot

and takes the total up to £12,750.

It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 74

and it sees you neatly into the head-to-head. Very well done, you. That's brilliant.

That is the flukiest pointless answer I have ever seen.

When you said, "I'm just going to pick a colour,"

I was looking through and I was thinking, "There's Nick Brown, but that's it."

Any other combination of name and colour wouldn't have won it for you, so very, very well played.

Let's look at some of the pointless answers.

David Mowat, Conservative, he was pointless. David Nuttall, also Conservative.

David Willetts, the Minister for Universities and Science, was pointless.

Edward Leigh, the right-wing Tory, was pointless, Edward Timpson, Ed Vaizey.

Nick de Bois, Nick Harvey, the Lib Dem minister, Nick Hurd.

David Lammy, also a pointless answer, for Labour. We'll look at the three highest scoring ones.

We've already heard two of them. There's Ed on 74.

There's Nick Clegg on 90. And Cameron, what do you think he scored?

-98.

-97, so not too bad. That's "Tom Jones" famous.

-Well done, David Cameron.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

At the end of Round 2, the losing pair with the highest score,

I'm sorry to say, it's our newcomers Susan and Wayne. I mean, really, you didn't do badly.

Actually, what am I talking about? What am I saying?

-Nick Clegg, yeah, 90. Whoa!

-I'm really embarrassed.

-The good news is we'll see you again next time. Susan and Wayne, thanks for playing.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Carrie and Mary, Natalie and Vanessa. You are now only one round away from the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £12,750.

CHEERING

You now go head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions will play for that money.

You are now allowed to confer, so you can put your heads together and chat.

The big thing, Natalie, I have to say, in the entire history of Pointless,

there has never been, there has never been an answer like that

where somebody has just formulated a winning answer and a pointless answer.

Where did that come from?

I have absolutely no idea.

What was going to be a fairly common surname? Colours are generally common surnames.

Brown. The one in the middle was Nick, so... I'm still recovering

I'm so proud of her, so proud!

Suffice to say, I thought that was brilliant, fantastic, absolutely brilliant.

Mary, Carrie, you've done phenomenally well.

Carrie, you've answered so well in your entire Pointless career.

You now put your heads together, you play as teams, so anything can happen. Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question and it concerns...

Biopics of twentieth century figures, Richard?

We'll show you five stills of actors playing famous people in biopics.

Can you tell us who they are playing, please?

OK, let's reveal our five stills and here they are. We have got...

There we are, five stills from biopics.

We would like to know who the subjects are.

Now then, Carrie and Mary, you have played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

WHISPERING

We're going to try one that we're not entirely sure of,

but we hope it might be a good score and say C and Edith Piaf.

Edith Piaf, C, say Carrie and Mary.

Natalie and Vanessa, what are you going to go for? You can talk us through the board.

We don't know A at all.

B might be Louis Armstrong, but we're not sure.

C, we knew was Edith Piaf.

D is Gandhi and E is Coco Chanel.

So we're going to go for E, Coco Chanel.

E, Coco Chanel. So we have C, Edith Piaf, and E, Coco Chanel.

Carrie and Mary went for Edith Piaf. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

22.

APPLAUSE

22 for Edith Piaf. Natalie and Vanessa are going for Coco Chanel.

Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.

Absolutely right.

22 is what you have to beat. Can you do it?

Yes, you can. Very well done - 10 for Coco Chanel.

Very well done indeed. After one question, Natalie and Vanessa, you are ahead 1-0. Richard?

Two good answers - Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel and Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf.

A is Angela Bassett playing Tina Turner in What's Love Got To Do With It?

Would have been a good answer and scored 11 points.

B is not Louis Armstrong. It's Forest Whitaker as Charlie Parker.

That would have scored you 3 points.

And D is Ben Kingsley as Mahatma Gandhi.

That would have scored 93 points.

That's more than Nick Clegg.

Thanks, Richard. Here comes your second question.

Carrie and Mary, you have to win this question to stay in the game.

OK, it concerns...

Countries with the same endings, Richard?

We'll show you five pairs of countries which share the same ending to their name.

We'll show you the first one and we've left the second one blank. Can you guess what the second one is?

Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five countries and here they are.

I'll read those all once again.

Natalie and Vanessa, you go first this time.

OK, we were torn between two,

but the one we're going to go with is the bottom one -

Latvia and Bolivia.

Latvia and Bolivia, you are going to say.

Now then, Carrie and Mary, what can you give us here?

You have to win this question, remember.

We're going to go for Rwanda and Uganda.

Rwanda and Uganda.

So we have Latvia and Bolivia from Natalie and Vanessa.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it - Bolivia.

Absolutely right.

Wow, 3!

APPLAUSE

3 for Bolivia.

Carrie and Mary, that is what you have to beat to stay in the game.

You have said Uganda, paired here with Rwanda.

Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Uganda.

It's right.

Another good answer. Down it goes.

Oh, 9.

APPLAUSE

9 for Uganda, which means, Natalie and Vanessa, after only two questions,

you are through to the final 2-0. Very, very well done.

Nothing you could have done there because Bolivia is the best answer.

You gave us the second best answer, so, very, very tough.

-The top one is Canada. It only scored 11 points, amazingly.

-Wow!

Paraguay and Uruguay... It's the biggest score up there - 42.

Do you know the last one? Senegal...?

-Portugal.

-Absolutely right. 28 points.

So Nick Brown carries you all the way through to the final.

-Wow!

-How about that?

-Very good. Thanks, Richard.

So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, Carrie and Mary.

Two perfectly good answers in both of those questions, but you just reckoned without Natalie and Vanessa

who in both cases managed to get the answer that beat yours.

-It's been great having you on the show, Carrie and Mary. Thank you so much for playing.

-Thank you.

But for Natalie and Vanessa, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Natalie and Vanessa, hearty congratulations.

You have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £12,750.

CHEERING

You've done exactly what we asked of you.

You made it to the second round last time and this time you've come all the way through.

I won't bang on about Nick Brown, but if you win the jackpot, at least send him a bottle of something.

Knowing the way luck has fallen for you tonight, maybe it will continue.

To win the money, all you have to do is to find a pointless answer.

We've had one pointless answer on the show today and that was yours, Natalie.

You only have to find one more now and you'll go home with £12,750.

First, you've got to choose a category from these five options.

Actresses or music stars. I'm fine with either, but it depends who comes up.

-Yeah.

-What do you want to...?

-I'm leaning more towards music stars.

-Shall we go for music?

-Let's go for music stars.

OK. Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

-as many Janet Jackson UK Top 40 singles as they could.

-LAUGHTER

-Richard?

-We're looking for any single released by Janet Jackson or which featured her

as a named featured artist which reached the UK Top 40, prior to May, 2012.

Remixes won't be allowed. Any Janet Jackson UK Top 40 hit. Very best of luck.

OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

And all you need to win that £12,750 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Yep.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.

-Thank God for this category.

-You're better on this than I am.

-Doesn't Really Matter, I Get So Lonely, Scream with Michael.

-That'll be high, though.

I Get So Lonely... Doesn't Really Matter. Um...

-What Have You Done For Me Lately?

-Yeah, What Have You Done For Me Lately?

-Er, We Go Deep. It's called Go Deep.

-Yeah.

-That'll be quite a good one.

-Yeah.

-What's the one that she did...

-I had a Best of Janet Jackson.

-Just A Little While.

-Yeah.

Just A Little While. Shall we do Just A Little While, Go Deep and...

-I Get So Lonely? Those three?

-Yeah.

-OK, we'll do those three.

-You've got your three. You don't want any more time?

-No.

-We'll stop the clock.

We're looking for Janet Jackson UK Top 40 singles. I need three answers.

-Go Deep.

-Go Deep.

-I Get So Lonely.

-I Get So Lonely.

-And, um, Just A Little While.

-Just A Little While. Of those three, which do you think is the best shot?

-You're better at this, so you can decide.

-Probably, um, Just A Little While.

-We'll put that last.

-What's your least likely?

-Probably I Get So Lonely. It's famous.

-So we'll put that one first.

Let's pop them up on the board in that order. We have got...

We're looking for Janet Jackson UK Top 40 singles. Your first answer, the least likely to be pointless,

was I Get So Lonely.

You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £12,750.

-£12,750! Natalie, what would you do with it?

-Probably put a little bit towards my wedding.

We haven't set a date yet. It would be nice to have money for that.

-And some would go towards a holiday.

-Lovely.

-Vanessa, how about you?

-It has to be a trip to Japan. I'm obsessed with Japan and I've never been.

That'll be a nice nest egg. A bunch of us are planning to go next year. That'll go towards that.

Very good indeed. Very best of luck. Three great-sounding answers there.

Let's see. I Get So Lonely. How many people said it?

Ohh!

-Must not have been released.

-Oh!

An incorrect answer, so not a pointless answer.

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

Janet Jackson UK Top 40 singles. Let's hope nobody said Go Deep.

This has to be right and then it has to be pointless to win that £12,750.

Let's see. How many people said Go Deep?

It's right.

So I Get So Lonely was incorrect, but Go Deep is absolutely correct.

Down it goes. If this goes to zero, you leave with £12,750.

Down it goes... YES!

Very, very well done. You've done fantastically well. Brilliant.

Wow!

That's brilliant. Very well done, indeed. Congratulations.

Wow. Go Deep was a pointless answer,

which means you go home with your jackpot shared between you. £12,750.

-Wow.

-Wow. Very well done.

Rewind to when you were trying to think of a politician...

10 minutes later, you're £12,750 better off. Very, very impressive.

-Just A Little While, your third answer, was also pointless.

-APPLAUSE

Oh, gosh.

-It helps being a fan.

-I Get So Lonely is I Get Lonely and it would have scored one point.

You also mentioned Doesn't Really Matter. It doesn't matter, but pointless as well.

So very well done. Let's look at a few more pointless answers for people at home.

They won't get as much money. Because Of Love, Come Back To Me, Doesn't Really Matter,

Escapade, Girlfriend-Boyfriend released with Blackstreet, Miss You Much,

Runaway, Son of a Gun featuring Carly Simon, What's It Gonna Be?! with Busta Rhymes.

Very, very well done. You rode your luck, but not in that final. Terrific. Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Absolutely fantastic. Very, very well done indeed.

Thanks once again to our winning players, Natalie and Vanessa, who go away with £12,750!

-Join us next time to put more obscure knowledge to the test. It's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
