0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38We welcome back Susan and Wayne. You were on the show last time.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This your last chance.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Susan, how do you two know each other?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47We've been married for five years.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- And how did you get on last time, Wayne?- We did OK in the first round.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- It was Round Two, wasn't it? - Round Two, yes. It was Politics.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- That's right! We had Nick, Ed and Dave.- Indeed.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02You gave us David Miliband and Nick Clegg!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Whay!- Good obscure knowledge! - Yes, quite obvious!- Very good.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Actually, talking of second names, your surname is fantastic.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- Wayne Friday.- Yes, indeed. - Wayne Friday!- From the clan Friday.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Wayne Friday! That's the best name ever!
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- I know!- You should be at the front of a band! Wayne Friday and the...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Wayne Friday and Something For The Weekend.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27That's what I'd call it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Welcome back to the show, Susan and Wayne.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Round Two last time. We've got to hope you're finalists, our only returning pair.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- BOTH: We hope. - Well, very, very best of luck.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And next we welcome Aidan and Gavin. How do you two know each other?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43We both play for Whalley Rangers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- You've probably all heard of Whalley Rangers.- Yes!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50We're a five-a-side football society.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- What do you hope is going to come up today, Aidan? - I've been in a lot of musicals,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57so that's something at the back of my mind.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Sport's always quite good, particularly cricket.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- Gavin, how about you? - I've been collecting records since I was about seven, eight.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11And I do a community radio show on a Sunday,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- playing stuff from charity shops. - That's fantastic!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Comedy things you've found in charity shops or...?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It can be comedy. I played a bit of Ken Dodd the other day.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22But are they genuinely things that you like?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Some I like, some I don't,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28but it's rescuing something from a dusty corner of a charity shop
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and giving it a bit of love and attention.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- So, old "Mrs Mills" records! - That kind of thing.- Excellent!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Very best of luck with that. Great to have you on the show.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Next we welcome Steven and Tanya. How do you two know each other?
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- We work together and are quite good friends, aren't we, Tanya?- Yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Do you hear how he qualifies that? Just "quite good friends"!
0:02:48 > 0:02:53I think we're quite good friends. I don't think Tanya quite agrees.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Tanya, what do you reckon? - We are.- Really good friends?- Yes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Whose idea was it to come on Pointless?- It was mine.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- And Steven - the obvious choice? - No, no.- No, I wasn't.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08A colleague of mine was the obvious choice and I butted in and offered my services.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Didn't take no for an answer. - Fair enough!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Anything you're looking forward to coming up?- Football.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Comic books.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Maybe soap operas.- OK.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Tanya, anything you want to add to that?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Maybe geography, that sort of thing, yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- European geography, world geography? - Yes.- OK.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Very, very best of luck. It's great to have you here.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Finally, Yasmin and Heather. How do you two know each other?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38We met 21-and-a-half years ago when Yasmin was born. We're mum and daughter.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Where are you from, Yasmin? - Newport in South Wales.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And what do you do, Yasmin?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I'm a full-time student. I'm studying criminology in Newport University.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- How about you, Heather? - I'm also a student.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I work part-time in a department store,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but I'm a full-time student at the same university.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Wow! Did you start at the same time?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01No, I started a year earlier.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03How's that been, Yasmin?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06It's great. I bump into her in the bar in uni now and again.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10That's great! I really wish my mum had been at university with me.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Ah, that would've been awesome, wouldn't it?- Yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm quite glad, actually, maybe she wasn't.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20We were at university together. I might've pulled your mum.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21LAUGHTER
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Just met her in the bar one evening. "Ah, Mrs Armstrong...!"
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- How do you know you didn't, Richard? - LAUGHTER
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Yes. You might've.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Mm. I've actually gone red!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Have you?- Yeah! I have.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, Yasmin and Heather, it's lovely to have you here.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Here's here to destroy common knowledge,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- he's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Hello! Hi, everyone.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I haven't quite got over the last show yet. Have you?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- No!- The single biggest and most profitable fluke in Pointless history.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- That was amazing.- I asked for politicians called Nick, David or Ed
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and Natalie said, "I don't know anyone at all.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14"I'm going to pick one of those names and add a colour to it."
0:05:14 > 0:05:17There's only one answer and she came up with it -
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Nick Brown, former agriculture secretary. Gordon Brown's chief whip.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Saw her through to the final, won an absolutely fortune.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Amazing, wasn't it?- There you are.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So I think we're back on solid ground today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34We've only one returning pair - Susan and Wayne. Didn't see much of them last time.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- So everything up for grabs. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43In order to be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people couldn't get.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points they will score.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03As Richard said, Natalie and Vanessa won the jackpot last time,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated, so make sure that's not you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Our first category today is...
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Music Legends. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Richard.- I can't believe we haven't done this category before.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54We've done about 4,000 shows and it's never come up.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58We're looking for any Top 40 hit released by Elton John,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01or which had him as a named featured artist.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06So Any Elton John single that's reached the Top 40 prior to April 2012.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07EPs don't count.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Thanks, Richard. Susan and Wayne, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and today, you go first.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- So, Wayne, Elton John...- Yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Erm, I do like Elton John and there's quite a few answers,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23but, erm, I'm trying to think of an obscure one.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Erm...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Let's go with, erm,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Nikita.- Nikita, says Wayne.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Nikita.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- 18. - APPLAUSE
0:07:48 > 0:07:5018 for Nikita.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Solid start from Wayne. A number-three hit in 1985.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Gavin.- I'm not a big Elton John fan.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Ah, but still! Charity shops... You must have a few Elton Johns.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03One I can think of is I'm Still Standing.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08I'm Still Standing, says Gavin. Let's see how many of our 100 people said I'm Still Standing.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- 21. - APPLAUSE
0:08:20 > 0:08:23From 1983, I'm Still Standing. A number-four hit.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27He's had so many hits! So many proper big hits.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Yes. And for decades. - Absolutely right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Now then, Steven.- Not the strongest subject, I must admit.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37But I'll go with Tiny Dancer.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Tiny Dancer, says Steven. Let's see if that's right
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and let's see how many people said Tiny Dancer.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE & CHEERING
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Very well played, Steven.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02That's why Tanya picked you. That scores 1.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Very impressive score there. - Well played, Steven.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10Funnily enough, never a hit for Elton John in his own right. I think it's his best song.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14But it was a big hit for Ironik Featuring Elton John and Chipmunk.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Thanks very much, Richard.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Yasmin, what's the most obscure Elton John Top 40 single you can think of?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24There's a few, I just don't know which one's more obscure.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I think I'll go for one he featured on.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Ghetto Gospel.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Ghetto Gospel, says Yasmin. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34let's see how many of our 100 said Ghetto Gospel.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Absolutely right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Very well done! That's fabulous, Yasmin! That's a pointless answer!
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Very well played, Yasmin. That's the way to introduce yourself to Pointless.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Ghetto Gospel, from 2005. A number-one hit single, Elton John and Tupac.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Yasmin and Heather looking strong, after that brilliant pointless answer from Yasmin.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Then up to 1, where we find Steven and Tanya.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Up to 18, where we find Wayne and Susan.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21And then up to 21, where we find DJ Gavin and Aidan.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You're not that far ahead, Aidan,
0:10:23 > 0:10:28but you'll need to find a good low-scoring answer on the next pass to keep you in the game.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39OK, we are looking for Elton John UK Top 40 Singles.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Heather, you're on 0 after that fantastic answer from Yasmin.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The high scorers are Aidan and Gavin on 21.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50If you can score 20 or less, you are though to the next round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I do like Elton John.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57I'm looking back a bit to think of something that's a little bit older,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00so I'm going to go with Crocodile Rock.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Crocodile Rock, says Heather.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Here is your red line. If you can get below that line, you avoid becoming our high scorers.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Crocodile Rock. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- 31 for Crocodile Rock. - APPLAUSE
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- 31 - Crocodile Rock. - The biggest score so far.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It was his first number-one single in the US.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Tanya, the high scorers are now Heather and Yasmin on 31.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You are on 1. If you can score 29 or less,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38you are through to the next round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Er, I'll have a guess with this one.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43A Song For Guy.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47A Song For Guy, says Tanya. Let's see.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Absolutely right.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Yep, you're through. Very well done.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Ooh, 6! - APPLAUSE
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Very well played indeed, Tanya. Takes your total up to 7.- Well done.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10A Song For Guy - one of the few hits that he wrote all by himself.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Without Bernie Taupin?- Bernie Taupin or any of his other co-writers, who I won't mention.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I see.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Aidan, you are on 21. The high scorers on 31 are Heather and Yasmin.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26If you can score 9 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28OK, the one I'm going to go for
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I believe was a double A-side, so I don't know if it matters which one I say,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34so I'll say Sacrifice.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Sacrifice, says Aidan. Here's your red line. Quite low.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Get below that red line, though, you are through to the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Sacrifice. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Absolutely right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Ooh! 12! - APPLAUSE
0:12:57 > 0:12:5912. Takes your total up to 33.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's just the wrong score, isn't it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- That was his first UK solo number one, amazingly.- Really? - Never had a number one before.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Isn't that incredible, when you think of the huge hits he's had before then?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- So, Susan...- Mm.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Susan, are you feeling confident? - No!
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Well, let me tell you,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21the high scorers on 33 are Aidan and Gavin.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25If you can score 14 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm thinking of quite a recent one.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31There was a video with Robert Downey Jr singing the song
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and I think I know what it is and I think it's quite obscure,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36but I'm worried I'll get it wrong,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39so I'll go with one that I do know is right.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45- Is it a low score?- I don't know! Erm, it's called Daniel.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Daniel.- Yes.- Daniel. 14 is what you have to score.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53There is what 14 looks like on the column.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Get below that red line, you are through to Round Two.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59How many of our 100 people said Daniel?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04It's right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Oh, no! Bad luck, Susan!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- 28! - APPLAUSE
0:14:13 > 0:14:1728. Takes your total up to a whopping 46.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- I'm sorry.- Sorry, Susan.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Another one of his well-known songs. Written and recorded in one day.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics upstairs and took them down to Elton.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29What was the one you were going to go for?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I wanted to say I Want Love.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- That is exactly the title. - Oh, no. Please tell me it was awful!
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- Not only would it have scored you less points, it was a pointless answer.- I'm sorry!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45As you say, a more modern one from 2001.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Oh, no! OK, never mind.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It's one of those things. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56There's Ghetto Gospel, from Yasmin. I Saw Her Standing There.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I Want Love.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Little Jeannie. Runaway Train with Eric Clapton.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Something About The Way You Look Tonight was pointless.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06READS LIST
0:15:07 > 0:15:11The Bitch Is Back. Kiss The Bride. Well done if you said any of those.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Take a look at the most popular answers.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17These are the most well-known Elton John singles.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Here's the top-three most well-known.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23We've already heard number three from Heather. That was Crocodile Rock.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Number two was Rocket Man. Would've scored you 35.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34And right at the top, no surprise, Candle In The Wind - 63.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Obviously it was a big hit over here,
0:15:36 > 0:15:41but it was in the Canadian Top 20 for three years.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45It spent 46 weeks at number 1.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48In its 1970s incarnation or its 1990s?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51In its 1990s incarnation. 46 weeks at number one.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Very good.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54- Thanks very much, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57At the end of our first round the pair who'll be leaving us,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59with the highest score of 46...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- I know.- ..are Susan and Wayne, our returning pair.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- I said you'd be finalists.- I know. - I was convinced!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I wish I hadn't have known a pointless answer.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- That really doesn't help, does it? - No.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I've got a lot of apologising to do. - That's all right, then!
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Think of the glory you'd be covered in now
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- if you'd said I Want Love. - I know. Don't rub it in!
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Put the jackpot up to 1,500!- I know.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Wayne running round the studio with you on his shoulders! "Ayy!"
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I- knew- a pointless answer, I can take that home.- You can.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I just didn't say it!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- We have to say goodbye. - I know. Thank you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Such a shame. Susan and Wayne, lovely having you on the show.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Far too soon to be saying goodbye. Excellent contestants.- Thank you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48APPLAUSE
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58So four pairs become three pairs
0:16:58 > 0:17:02and at the end of this round, three pairs become two as we approach the head-to-head.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05That round was very, very revealing.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Very best to all three pairs.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Historical Figures. Can you all decide who's going to go first?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK, our question concerns...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Figures Of The 18th Century. Richard.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38We'll give you a series of clues to prominent figures who were active in the 1700s.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Can you name them, please? We will accept just surnames.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46The more obscure your answer, the fewer points you will score. Incorrect answers score 100 points.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49There's 12 to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53We are looking for the figures described by these clues.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55We have got...
0:18:10 > 0:18:11I'll read those one last time.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28There we are. Six clues to famous 18th-century figures.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33You're going to try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Gavin.- It doesn't look too bad. I've got a good chance of getting a few of those.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I'll go for the Artist Whose Engravings Include 'Gin Lane' as Hogarth.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Hogarth, says Gavin. Let's see if that's right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Let's see how many people knew that answer. Hogarth.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Absolutely right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- 11. - APPLAUSE
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Not bad at all, Gavin.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Hogarth.- Well done, Gavin. Its companion piece was Beer Street.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11It was supposed to extol the virtues of beer and warn of the evils of gin.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It was a big deal, gin, wasn't it, back then?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- People used to make their own. - Huge gin palaces in London.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Tanya! Tanya.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24This must be the worst thing. I cannot really think much of any of the answers.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29I'll have to have a really big guess at the Poet Who Wrote 'Auld Lang Syne',
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Robbie Burns?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Robbie Burns, says Tanya.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Let's see how many people knew that answer, if it's right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- 47. - APPLAUSE
0:19:45 > 0:19:4847. Not bad, Tanya. It's a lot better than 100.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- Well guessed. Richard?- Celebrated by his countrymen on January 25th, Burns Night - his birthday.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57His countrymen being the Scots, of course.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, yes. Thanks, Richard.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Yasmin, you're the last person to have this board, so you can talk us through it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I'd love to be able to.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10This is the worst thing that could come up for me. I have no idea.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11I'll have to take a guess.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17I said to the contestants if I didn't know an answer I would just say Smith,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20so I'll say Smith...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22..for President of the USA.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The First President of the USA - Smith.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Let's see if that's right and how many people said 'Smith' for the First President of the USA.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Bad luck, Yasmin.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- You should've tried a colour! - I know!
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer and scores 100 points.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Richard.- Sorry, Yasmin. Did you know there's never been a President Smith
0:20:46 > 0:20:49in the history of the United States.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Extraordinary! What an oversight. - LAUGHTER
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- There's a gap in the market, certainly.- Definitely, yes.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59The First President of the United States - George Washington.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Would've scored you 34 points.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Let's test Xander on some of these.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- The Author of the English Dictionary Published 1755?- Doctor Johnson.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Yes. Samuel Johnson. Would've scored 8 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Wrote the Music for the Royal Fireworks?- George Frideric Handel.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Quite a big scorer. Well done to our 100. 29 points.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23The best answer on the board, the Artist Who Painted 'Mr & Mrs Andrews'.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- It's Gainsborough.- It is. Thomas Gainsborough. Very well done.
0:21:26 > 0:21:294 points. Well done if you got that at home.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3811 - best score of that pass. Gavin and Aidan looking very strong.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Then up to 47, where we find Tanya and Steven.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And it's quite a hike up to 100, where we find Yasmin and Heather.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49So then, Heather, you get first dibs on the next board.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Find a nice low-scoring answer and let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03OK, let's put six more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05We have got...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'll read all of those one more time.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49We are looking for the 18th-century figures described by these clues.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Heather, you have to find one
0:22:51 > 0:22:55you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Well, erm, I'll have to look for something...
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I'll have to take a risk rather than play safe.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08So I'm going to go for the Utilitarian Philosopher
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and I'm going to say John Stuart Mill.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14John Stuart Mill, says Heather. John Stuart Mill.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16There's no red line for you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22Let's see if John Stuart Mill is right and how many said it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Bad luck.- Oh, well!
0:23:27 > 0:23:32That's an incorrect answer, which scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Richard.- Sorry, Heather. You had to take a risk, though.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Steven, you're through to the head-to-head, whatever happens.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I don't have a clue about any single one of them, so I'll take a guess.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The Inventor Who Patented An Improved Steam Engine,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I will go with...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54..James Harrison.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- James Harrison.- Yes.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00James Harrison. No red line for you as you are already through.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Let's see if James Harrison is right and how many people said it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Bad luck. An incorrect answer, which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Takes your total up to 147.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17OK, there we are. Aidan, you're on 11.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You are through to the head-to-head whatever happens.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Talk us through the board, if you can.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26The top one, I can't think of an answer to, unfortunately.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Robinson Crusoe was, I believe, Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33The Queen of France will be Marie-Antoinette.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39The Prime Minister, I ought to know. I can't remember his name. Fortunately, it doesn't matter.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43The Inventor Who Patented The Steam Engine, I'm guessing would be Stephenson.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45And the composer, Mozart or Beethoven.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I have a feeling it wasn't Mozart for Salzburg, but it may just be.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55I don't think any of them are pointless, so I'll go with Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Robert Louis Stevenson, you say, is the author of Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07No. An incorrect answer, Aidan.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12It scores you 100 points, taking your total up to 111.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Well, that went very well! - LAUGHTER
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Terrifically well done, everybody. That is great!
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Treasure Island, perhaps you're getting it mixed up with. Robinson Crusoe was Daniel Defoe.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Would've scored 36 points.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Blimey, we get to fill in the whole board!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Often I'll say, "You took us through the board very well"
0:25:31 > 0:25:35but you got them all wrong apart from, erm...
0:25:35 > 0:25:38..apart from the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Absolutely right. Would've scored 43.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43What's the answer to the inventor one?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's, erm, Watt.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Watt's the answer. Absolutely right. James Watt. 19 points.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54The composer was Mozart, not Beethoven. Would've scored 31.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Regarded as the First British Prime Minister?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- I don't know.- Robert Walpole. It's one of those things you should know and people don't.
0:26:00 > 0:26:024 points that would've scored you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And the Utilitarian Philosopher,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09his body is on display at the University of London in a glass case.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12He left it to them. It's still there. Jeremy Bentham.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15That would've scored 1 point. Well done if you said that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Thank you very much. At the end of Round Two,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22the losing pair, I'm afraid, our newest members to the 200 Club,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Heather and Yasmin. You had a crack at it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29John Stuart Mill, not a bad guess, but wrong sadly.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32But, er, that was a tough board.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34In fact, both of those were tough.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I knew a few of them but I knew they'd be high scoring,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41so with already 100, I thought I'd just...
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- ..take a gamble.- No, you had to.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46If you'd got a correct low-scoring answer,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50given the answers given by the remaining pairs, you would've been safely through.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- If only you'd known everybody else was going to get 100, as well... - Exactly.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- That would've made it much easier. - Yes.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02It's been lovely having you on the show, Heather and Yasmin. See you again next time.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Thanks for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But for the remaining pairs, things are about to get more exciting
0:27:10 > 0:27:12as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Congratulations, Aidan and Gavin, Steven and Tanya. You are one round from the final
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33You're now going to go head-to-head. The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37the difference being, from now on you are allowed to confer.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You can put your heads together.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45Aidan and Gavin, you are our lowest scorers, despite scoring 100 points in the second round.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49I wouldn't say covering yourselves in glory in Round One.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Steven and Tanya, what did you make of that 18th-Century Figures round?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Nightmare.- It was tough. - It was tough.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- I knew a few on the first board, so...- Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05Hogarth very much the best score in that entire round, so well done for that, Gavin.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Best of luck to both teams. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- Swedes, Richard.- We'll show you five photographs of different varieties
0:28:24 > 0:28:28of swedes or turnip, commonly grown in Britain. No, we're not really!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We're going to show you...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Phew. We'll show you five photographs of people born in Sweden.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Can you identify the most obscure? Very best of luck.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five Swedes.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42We have got...
0:28:56 > 0:28:59There we are. Five Swedes.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Aidan and Gavin, you played best so you get to go first.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08- What do you think of our Swedes? - I'm just glad they're not the vegetables!
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Er...
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- B?- (It's Neneh Cherry, I think.) - THEY WHISPER
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Yes. We're going to go for B, Neneh Cherry.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21B, Neneh Cherry.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Now then, Steven and Tanya, talk us through the board.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26That was the one we were going to go for.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- I know A and D. - You can say who they are.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Sven-Goran Eriksson, Ulrika Jonsson. - Those names go together very well, don't they?!
0:29:35 > 0:29:40I know who C is and I know what he's in, but I can't remember his name.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Was he in one of those Rocky films?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Yeah, he's in Rocky...IV?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Something Van Something?
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- What about E?- He looks like a tennis player, but I don't know.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I know A and D and you knew B, but...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Well, they're both going to be high.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- We'll just have to go for D.- Yes. - D, Ulrika Jonsson.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06OK, D, Ulrika Jonsson. We have Neneh Cherry and Ulrika Jonsson.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Aidan and Gavin said Neneh Cherry. Let's see how many people said Neneh Cherry.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- 8! - APPLAUSE
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Very well done.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31And Steven and Tanya have said that D is Ulrika Jonsson.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- 69. - APPLAUSE
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Which means, Aidan and Gavin, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Richard.- Couldn't have beaten Neneh Cherry. Born in Stockholm.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Let's take a look through the rest.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Sven-Goran Eriksson would've scored slightly less than Ulrika. 64.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02C you recognised from allsorts of films. Dolph Lundgren.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Photographed during the Great Button Shortage of 1987.
0:31:06 > 0:31:0918 points he would've scored you.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14And E, you're right, he looks like a tennis player, he's Stefan Edberg.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16He would've scored you 15 points.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Two of those people famously had an affair, didn't they?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- Remember, Dolph Lundgren and Stefan Edberg?- Yes! Ooh!
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Steven and Tanya, you have to win this question.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Question two concerns...
0:31:34 > 0:31:36US States and their Capital Cities.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Richard.- We're about to show you five sets of abbreviations.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We'll show you two letters, an abbreviation of a state,
0:31:42 > 0:31:47and then one letter, which is the first letter of that state's capital.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Can you tell us what the capitals of these states are, please?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53OK, let's show you our five abbreviated states
0:31:53 > 0:31:57with the initial of their capital. We have got...
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I'll read those one last time.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, Steven and Tanya, you go first this time.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Remember, you have to win this one.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28(..the other one is Boston, Massachusetts.)
0:32:28 > 0:32:34Er, I'm not 100 percent, but AZ - P, Pittsburgh, Arizona?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Pittsburgh, Arizona.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Pittsburgh, Arizona, say Steven and Tanya.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- Aidan and Gavin, what do you say? - I'll defer to Gavin, who can probably talk us through the board.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Will you, please?- I'll try!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I think the first one is Nashville, Tennessee.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52The second one Hartford, Connecticut.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Boston, Massachusetts is the fourth one.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Austin, Texas. And I think it's Phoenix, Arizona.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01But I'll go for Hartford, Connecticut.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Hartford, Connecticut, you're going to say.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09OK, so Steven and Tanya have said Pittsburgh, Arizona.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Ooh, no! Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23Which means Aidan and Gavin, your answer of Hartford, Connecticut merely has to be correct
0:33:23 > 0:33:26and you'll go straight through to the final. Is it right?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It is absolutely right.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Great answer! 5! - APPLAUSE
0:33:38 > 0:33:415 for Hartford, Connecticut.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Which means, Aidan and Gavin, after only two questions, you are though to the final 2-0.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- Very well done.- Well played, Gavin. You took us through the board perfectly, as well.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Pittsburgh is in Pennsylvania. Let's take a look at what the others would've scored.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Arizona is Phoenix. That was the biggest scorer. 25 points.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03It's the most populous of any state capital. There's an obscure quiz question for you.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's got more people than Boston, Massachusetts,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and that would've scored you 9 points.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Austin, Texas. It was originally called Waterloo.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17That would've scored you 24. Nashville, Tennessee up the top. 20.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20So Hartford, Connecticut, the best answer on that board. Well played.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Thanks very much. So the losing pair at the end of our head-to-head
0:34:25 > 0:34:28is Steven and Tanya.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32They were quite tough, weren't they? You made it to the head-to-head, which is no mean feat.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36We'll see you again next time. Maybe you'll make it through to the final.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Lovely having you on the show, Steven and Tanya.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Thanks very much for playing. - BOTH: Thank you.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48But for Aidan and Gavin, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Congratulations, Aidan and Gavin.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58You fought off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18It was a pretty solid performance throughout the show.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Are you happy with how things have gone?- Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26Handy revision subject for Gavin before we came on, the capitals!
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Very good indeed.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32The rules are simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35We've had one pointless answer. You only have to find one
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and you will go home with that £1,250.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42You've got to choose a category. You have five options. They are...
0:35:52 > 0:35:55European authors, I may know some.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5719th-century stuff...
0:35:57 > 0:36:03- Diplomacy. Are you going to be good on Music Awards? - Possibly. Depending on...
0:36:03 > 0:36:08It's most likely... Acting Greats - that won't be me.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12I think Music Awards gives us our best chance. We'll give it a go.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15OK, Music Awards it is. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:20 > 0:36:25'Best British Male Brit Award Winners' as they could.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Richard.- We're looking for the winner of any Best British Male
0:36:28 > 0:36:32or Best British Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards,
0:36:32 > 0:36:37from 1977 all the way through to 2012. Best of luck.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45All you need to win that £1,250 is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50Are you ready? OK, let's put 60 seconds on the board.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58OK, mate. Late '70s, who have we got?
0:36:58 > 0:37:02The obvious one's Robbie Williams, but he's going to be high scoring.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Maybe Elton John at some stage.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Possibly Freddie Mercury?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Possibly. Is Seal British? - Seal... Erm...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I think he is British, yes.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Is that an obscure one?- Possibly.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Late '70s - who was a big act? - GAVIN SIGHS
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I can't think.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- The '80S... - Howard Jones or Nik Kershaw?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- That's a good guess. - Popular when we were at school.- Yes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Howard Jones with the ladies!
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Paul Young?- That's a good one.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- OK. So we're... Shall we go for Seal?- Yes.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42And we'll go for...
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- 10 seconds left.- Howard Jones and... - What was the other one?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Paul Young or Nik Kershaw? - Paul Young.- Paul Young.- Yes.- OK.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, there we are, just as your time runs out.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57We were looking for Best British Male Brit-Award Winners.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I now need your three answers. - We'll go with Seal.- Seal.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Paul Young.- Paul Young.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- And Howard Jones.- And Howard Jones.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Three complete guesses.- BOTH: Yes. - But three pretty good guesses.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12I mean, wow. Who knows?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14It could be very exciting.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Paul Young.- We'll put him last.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Your least likely?- BOTH: Seal. - We'll put him first. Howard Jones in the middle.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Let's pop those on the board. Here they are...
0:38:31 > 0:38:33So we were looking for
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Best British Male Brit-Award Winners.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Seal was your least confident answer.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £1,250.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48Let's see. Seal - is it right? How many people said it?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53It's absolutely right. Seal.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Your first shot at the jackpot.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58You've hit the bull's eye in terms of being right.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Will it be pointless? Single figures. Still going down.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- 2! Wow! - APPLAUSE
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Wow. Well done, you. That's amazing.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14The margin for error here was pretty substantial.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Correct answer. Seal. And only two people said it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Unfortunately, not a pointless answer, but still a brilliant one.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- What would you do with £1,250, Aidan?- There's two things.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33I need to go back to Australia with my wife and baby daughter to meet the family out there.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37The more money would help to go around cricket.
0:39:37 > 0:39:43If we could go round The Ashes rather than around the end of the Australian summer, it would help.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Is that your wife's family or your family?- My wife's.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Gavin, how about you?- It's our 15th wedding anniversary next year,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55so we plan to go to San Francisco, where we had our honeymoon,
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and do a bit of new York, as well. So that'd help.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Very good. Two fantastic things to put your money towards.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Let's hope one of your two answers will see you win that jackpot.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Howard Jones is your next answer. We are looking for Best British Male Brit-Award Winners.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Let's hope nobody said Howard Jones.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16It has to be right. It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18How many people said it?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Ooh!
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Bad luck. Howard Jones an incorrect answer.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Not a Brit-Award Winner in that category.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Everything is now riding on Paul Young.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Again, complete guess?- Yes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:44But surely a likely contender. When would that be - 1984/'85?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- '84, I think.- '83ish, yes. - No Parlez, around then.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48- Exactly!- There we go!
0:40:48 > 0:40:51We are looking for Best British Male Brit-Award Winners.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Your final answer was Paul Young, your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01It has to be right. Then it has to be pointless. If it's both, you will win £1,250.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Let's see - Paul Young, is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Absolutely right. Seal was right. Took us down to 2.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Howard Jones turned out to be an incorrect answer, but Paul Young is on the money.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Down it goes into single figures.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Down it goes! Yes! You've done it! Very well done!
0:41:23 > 0:41:29- That's brilliant! Superb. Very well done indeed!- Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Yes! You beauty!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Brilliant! And somehow all the better for being a guess. Makes it even more exciting.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Very well reasoned. Paul Young was a pointless answer,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- Very well done indeed. - Well done, mate.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Good game.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Well played, gents. You haven't put a foot wrong since the head-to-head.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Paul Young won in 1985, where one of the nominees was Howard Jones.
0:41:59 > 0:42:05It's one of those categories where you could've come a cropper. An awful lot of answers with 1 point.
0:42:05 > 0:42:091 point for Sting, Tom Jones, Elton John, Dizzee Rascal,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Mark Ronson, Mick Hucknall, Mike Skinner,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Ed Sheeran, Peter Gabriel, all of those scoring 1 point.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18There's only three pointless answers You got one of them.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Let's take a look at the other two.
0:42:20 > 0:42:232004, it was Daniel Bedingfield.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25In 1998, Finley Quaye.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Paul Young being the other one. Very well done if you got any of those three.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Thanks to our winning players, Aidan and Gavin,
0:42:34 > 0:42:39who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250. Brilliant!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
