0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the aim
0:00:27 > 0:00:29is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32To do that, you need to come up with the answers
0:00:32 > 0:00:35that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:42First, we welcome Dinos and Abbie.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44How do you two know each other, Dinos?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Er, well, we used to work together, didn't we?- Yep.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49We worked together at a cinema.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52And did you get to see all the films that were on there?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Yeah, it was pretty good. We got lots of free tickets.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57That's the only downside to not being there any more!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01We've cast off the shackles now. I have just started teaching maths.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Wow. Abbie, what do you do now?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I have just finished my final year of uni. I was a criminology student.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, we have... Obviously, I'm jumping the gun,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12because Yasmin, who we will come to in a short while,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16who was with us last time, also a criminology student.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Wow. You two could get together and become criminal masterminds!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22LAUGHTER
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Lovely to have you on the show. A warm welcome to you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Next, we welcome back Steven and Tanya,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28who were on the show last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Everyone has two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33This is your second and final chance.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Steven, how do you two know each other?- Through work.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We are work colleagues and very good friends.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Tanya, remind us what happened last time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We got through to the head-to-head. - You didn't do badly.- No, we did OK.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- You did OK. Then, the head-to-head, sadly.- It just went all wrong. - It did, I'm afraid.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We had some tough rounds last time and you made it through.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- We had the famous 18th-century people. - HE SIGHS
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Not one of Pointless's great moments, that one, was it? - No.- Not at all.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05You do know I put quite a lot of work into these things, don't you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- No, no, no! The question was great. (It was the answers.) - Oh, the answers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Yeah, I know.- Thank you! - The answers were terrible.- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Out of 10, how good a question was it?- 9.5.- You don't have to say that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21I say only 9.5... Actually, I'd say 10, but I have to keep you working hard.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I really appreciate it. I thought you were terrific last show as well.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Listen, come on. - LAUGHTER
0:02:26 > 0:02:29This show, I think you started a bit sluggishly.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33LAUGHTER Just between you and I, when you introduce Yasmin and Heather
0:02:33 > 0:02:35just go... IMITATES AN EXPLOSION
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Do think?- Yeah.- OK. I'll bear that in mind.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Welcome back to the show, Steven and Tanya.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And let's welcome Yasmin and Heather!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- That's good.- You were on the show last time as well!
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Yasmin! Remind us how you know each other. It's going well. - That's really good.- I've upped it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Yasmin, remind us how you two know each other.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Heather is my mother. Has been all my life.- Absolutely right.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Heather, what happened last time? It's amazing this, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- You can actually wind it in a little bit now.- It's a bit much? Overbearing?- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Heather, what happened last time? - 18th-century people
0:03:07 > 0:03:11happened last time and we didn't do very well.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- 200 Club.- Yeah.- What are you hoping will come up today?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Music, again, which probably won't happen.- Favourite kind of music?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Pop music.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24OK, Heather, anything you're longing to see come up today,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26a favourite Pointless category?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'd like to see music, as well, but perhaps a bit older,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31not necessarily pop.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33OK. Very best of luck, Yasmin and Heather.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37You were unlucky last time round with that second round.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Let's hope we see you through - I think to the head-to-head would be right, wouldn't it?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- It would be lovely. - Best of luck,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Finally, we've got Emma and Warren. How do you two know each other?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Father and daughter. - Father and daughter. Where are you from, Warren?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51- Edinburgh.- From Edinburgh.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- What do you do there? - I'm a support worker for an Edinburgh-based charity.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Very good indeed. Emma, how about you? - As am I. Same company.- Same company?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Excellent. What do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Um, I like to go to the pub. - LAUGHTER
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Listen to music, bog-standard things.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13And Warren, what about you?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Um, I like playing poker, chilling out with my friends, PlayStation.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Warren, Warren. Are you 14?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22LAUGHTER
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Er, higher.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Now then, Warren, what do you hope will come up today?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32My strongest subjects seem to be music, maybe '70s, '80s, '90s music.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Maybe a bit of history. - What are you hoping doesn't come up?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oh, literature.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Books. And if there's spelling.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Anything that involves a brain.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- Who said that?!- Are you speaking on your own behalf, or on Warren's?
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Shared responsibility. - So literature, books, spelling.- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Do you want to add anything to that, Emma?- Um, no.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00THEY LAUGH
0:05:00 > 0:05:04OK, best of luck to you, Warren and Emma. It's lovely having you on the show.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06We'll find out more about you all throughout the show.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08There is only one person left for me to introduce.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11He's like a DJ of obscurity, bringing you all the banging facts,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13only he doesn't do requests.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18APPLAUSE
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Afternoon.- Good afternoon. - Are you well?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- I mustn't grumble. - Got two returning pairs today.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Steven and Tanya got through to the head-to-head,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34so they will probably be the pair to watch. I think Yasmin and Heather
0:05:34 > 0:05:37were very unlucky to be in the 200 Club.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38A lot of people asking for film,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41so you are going to love question one, I think.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Thanks, Richard.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49In order to get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53our contestants need to find the obscure answers our 100 people didn't get.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points they score.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01This is an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Aidan and Gavin won the jackpot last time,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15APPLAUSE
0:06:18 > 0:06:22In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer
0:06:22 > 0:06:23with your partner.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29so try and make sure that isn't you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33OK, our first category for Round One today is Films.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Whoever is going first, step up to the podium.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49OK, and our question concerns films with a number in the title.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Films with a number in the title. Richard.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56More specifically, Xander is about to show you a list of six actors on this board.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58We're looking for any film made for cinema release with
0:06:58 > 0:07:04a number in its title in which any of those actors have had an acting credit prior to April 2012, please.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It can be a numerical number or a word number and we'll even allow numbers in sequels,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11if those numbers are in the original title of the film.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Very, very best of luck.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16OK, Abbie and Dinos, you drew lots before the show
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and, today, you are going first.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So here are the six actors and they are...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I will read those one last time.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Remember, we are looking for films starring these actors with a number in their title.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Now then, Dinos. This is good for you, I think, isn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Can you smell the popcorn?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- HE LAUGHS - Film is good.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56A few come to mind, but not with those actors in.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I'm going to have to go with Tom Hanks, Toy Story 3.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Toy Story 3, says Dinos.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see
0:08:06 > 0:08:09how many of our 100 people said Toy Story 3.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Come on, come on, come on.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Two.- Oh, wow!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22APPLAUSE
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Wow, there you are, Dinos, Toy Story 3 scores you only 2. - Well played.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- He plays Woody, of course, in Toy Story.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Now then, Tanya, still looking for any film with a number in its title
0:08:34 > 0:08:36starring any of these actors.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Um, it's probably going to be a high score, but the only one
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I can think of is Jack Nicholson, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:5526.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58APPLAUSE
0:08:58 > 0:09:02One of only three films ever to win all of the major Oscars - best picture,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06best director, best actor, best actress, best screenplay.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Heather.- Right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Um, not the best question for me.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I think Harrison Ford was in Nine Till Five.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of 100 said Nine Till Five.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Oooh. Bad luck, Heather.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Yes, sorry, Heather, it's a good title. It's got lots of numbers in it, but
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Harrison Ford not in it, I'm afraid.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Now then, Emma.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44The most obscure film you can think of with a number in its title.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Right, I'm going to take a little bit of a risk.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'm going to say Hugh Grant.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Bridget Jones's Diary 2: The Edge Of Reason.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Bridget Jones's Diary 2: The Edge Of Reason, says Emma,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10Bad luck, Emma, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Richard.- Sorry, Emma, he is in it,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15but it's just called Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason, I'm afraid.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- No number in it. - We're halfway through the round.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Dinos and Abbie looking very strong, indeed. Toy Story 3.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Who would've thought that scored so little? Just 2 points.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And up to 26, where we find Steven and Tanya
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and up to 100, where Heather and Yasmin and Emma and Warren are tied.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38So, yes, Warren and Yasmin, I think it's going to be a tussle between
0:10:38 > 0:10:41the pair of you to see who stays and who goes at the end of the round.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Best of luck. We come back down the line.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Can the second players take their places?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50We're looking for films starring these actors
0:10:50 > 0:10:53with numbers in their titles.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Warren, you are joint high scorers on 100 points.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00We need a really low score from you at this point to make sure you stay with us
0:11:00 > 0:11:03after this round. What do you think, Warren?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I'm thinking I don't know any answer, that's what I'm thinking.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12So I'm going to have to take a guess at this.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I know the Gerard Butler film, but I can't remember the title.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I know it was a number and I'm going to take a guess -
0:11:20 > 0:11:22666. Gerard Butler.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26OK, 666 for Gerard Butler, you're saying. 666.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29There's no red line, because you are joint high scorers.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- What do you think, Emma? - I am thinking no.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Let's see if it's right. 666. How many people said it if it is?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Bad luck, Warren.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer, which means you score
0:11:45 > 0:11:48the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Richard.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Sorry, Warren, no Gerard Butler film with that title. Incorrect, as well.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- I think your daughter was slightly more unlucky than you.- Thank you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Yasmin, the high scorers on 200 are Warren and Emma.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06If you can score 99 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Remember, we are looking for any film starring any of these actors
0:12:09 > 0:12:12with a number in their title.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16I know a few on the board, but I'm going to play it safe
0:12:16 > 0:12:20and say Brad Pitt was in Ocean's 11.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Brad Pitt, Ocean's 11, says Yasmin.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Let's set if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Absolutely right. Very well done, Yasmin.
0:12:32 > 0:12:3723, that scores you. It takes you up to 123.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40You are through to the next round. Richard.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Yes, from 2001, well done, Yasmin. Finally a non-100 scorer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Now then, Steven, a bit of good news.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The high scorers Warren and Emma are on 200.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54There's no way you'll overtake their high score, even if you score 100 points yourself.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57So see if you can find a really low-scoring answer. Is this a good round for you?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Yeah, it's OK, it's not ideal, but I think I've got a decent one
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and I'll go with Hugh Grant, Four Weddings And A Funeral.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Four Weddings And A Funeral, says Steven, let's see
0:13:06 > 0:13:09f that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Very well done.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- 35. - APPLAUSE
0:13:17 > 0:13:2035 takes your total up to 61. Richard.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yes, safe and sound. From 1994.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26The first British film to top the US box office chart since A Fish Called Wanda.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Very good. Now then, Abbie.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Obviously, you're through to the next round whatever happens,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35but let's see if we can find a lovely low-scoring answer from you, as well.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38To be honest, I wanted Ocean's 11, but, obviously,
0:13:38 > 0:13:44I can't have that now, so I'm going to go for Gerard Butler, 300.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Gerard Butler,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50300. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said 300.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Absolutely right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- 13. - APPLAUSE
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Very well done indeed, Abbie.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04That takes your total up to 15,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06the lowest total of the lot. Richard.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Well done, Abbie. Very good answer. You should have seen the look Emma just gave Warren.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I didn't see it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17"That's the Gerard Butler film with the number in it you're thinking of!"
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Oh. Good luck after the show, Warren.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Ocean's 12 and Ocean's 13 would have both been good answers.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2619 and 14 they would have scored. Funnily enough, we had Toy Story 3 from Dinos.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Toy Story 2 would also have only scored 2 points. That would have been a great answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35300, Apollo 13, Twelve Monkeys, Air Force One, Force 10 From Navarone.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Five Easy Pieces. Happy Feet 2. The Two Jakes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Lots of good answers out there. But let's look at the pointless ones.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well done to anyone who got any of these.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas. That's Brad Pitt.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Seven Years In Tibet, also Brad Pitt.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Dracula 2001, Gerard Butler.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55One More Kiss, that's Gerard Butler. K-19: The Widowmaker, Harrison Ford
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and The Man With One Red Shoe, that is a Tom Hanks film.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Very well done if you said any of those.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Let's look at the most popular answers, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07We've already had two of them from Steven and Tanya.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Four Weddings with 35.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Now, what do you think is the biggest scoring one of any of those actors?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17A film with a number in the title?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It's a film whose title is only a number.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- Se7en.- Se7en.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26The Brad Pitt film. Absolutely right. And that would have scored 45 points.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I love the way that even when we write Se7en, somehow
0:15:29 > 0:15:33we have to write it like that, like some really rubbish registration plate.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- LAUGHTER - Thank you very much.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39At the end of our first round, the losing pair with the highest score -
0:15:39 > 0:15:45Warren and Emma. Oh, dear. 666, Warren. The number of the beast.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51And, Emma, didn't you hear Four Weddings And A Funeral and think...?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- I- was going to say Ocean's 13 and I thought no, try and be smart.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57That worked out(!)
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Anyway, we will see you again next time, when you will have learnt
0:15:59 > 0:16:03all sorts of tactics from your brief appearance on Pointless.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07We'll look forward to that. Warren and Emma, thanks for playing. Lovely contestants.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09APPLAUSE
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But, for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24so one of the pairs in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, good first round there.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Abbie and Dinos, you covered yourselves in glory. Lovely low score.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Tom Hanks, he's got a friend in me.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36MUTED LAUGHTER
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Sorry.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Yes.- I can so see you as a maths teacher, Dinos. I really can!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44THEY LAUGH
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Anyway, that round is behind us. We've cleared it,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51we're in to Round Two and our category for Round Two is..
0:16:52 > 0:16:56..Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00who's going to go second. And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06OK, the question concerns
0:17:06 > 0:17:09languages in which works were originally published.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Languages in which works were originally published. Richard.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I predict this will be an interesting round.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We're going to show you 12 works of literature,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20six on each pass, you have to tell us in which language
0:17:20 > 0:17:22were they originally published.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24An obscure answer will score you fewer points
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and an incorrect answer will score you 100.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30There will be 12 to have a go at at home. Good luck to everybody.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yeah, good luck. We are looking for the languages
0:17:33 > 0:17:37in which these works were originally published. So we've got...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57There we are. Six literary works,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00six original languages for you to guess. Abbie.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Something about your body language is telling me that this isn't,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06perhaps, your favourite category.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I do like literature, but this isn't exactly what I was hoping for.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- OK.- So it really is going to be an absolute guess.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I am going to go for War And Peace
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- in Russian.- War And Peace in Russian, says Abbie. Let's see if that's right
0:18:22 > 0:18:26and let's see how many people thought War And Peace was written in Russian first.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30(Yes!)
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- 47. - APPLAUSE
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- 47.- Well done, Abbie, you knew that one. Published in 1869.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45It's over half a million words long. Have you read War And Peace?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Ah, come off it! No. - Have you not? I've read it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Really?- No.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51HE CHUCKLES
0:18:51 > 0:18:53OK, thanks very much.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Now then, Steven, remember we are looking for the languages
0:18:56 > 0:18:59in which these works were originally published.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Something's calling out to me about Pippi Longstocking
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and I'm going to have a guess.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05If it's not this one, it's close.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm going to go Pippi Longstocking, I'm going to go Norwegian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Pippi Longstocking, Norwegian, says Steven.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Ooh.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Whatever it was calling out to you, it was calling out to you IN Norwegian.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Unfortunately, an incorrect answer scores you
0:19:27 > 0:19:30the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry, Steven.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Now then, Yasmin. Yasmin, you're the last person to have this board.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39You can fill in all the blanks, if you like. Talk us through it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I can't fill in any blanks.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I am going to say Pippi Longstocking, Austrian.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Pippi Longstocking, Austrian, says Yasmin.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people knew the answer.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57No, bad luck, Yasmin. I'm afraid that's also an incorrect answer,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00which scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- It is going terrifically well(!) - Isn't it?- Isn't it, though.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Pippi Longstocking, I suspect lots of people at home know, is Swedish.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Astrid Lindgren wrote it. 10 points it would have scored you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15The Odyssey is Greek, Ancient Greek. It would have scored you 31.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Caesar's Gallic Wars, you can probably guess, is Latin. 21 points.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23The most famous one up there, Don Quixote, is Spanish.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26By Cervantes. Would have scored you 43,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30and The Emperor's New Clothes, written by Hans Christian Andersen, so Danish.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32That would have scored 6. That's the best answer on the board.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36So our 100 did rather well, even if our contestants didn't do so good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Well done to anyone who got all of those.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40The next board is tougher, I would say.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Good-oh. Thanks very much. Let's look at the scores.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Lowest score being Abbie and Dinos's
0:20:47 > 0:20:51brilliant low score of 47
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and the upper score being shared by the remaining two pairs,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Steven and Tanya and Yasmin and Heather.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So, yes, Heather and Tanya, it's between the pair of you.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Best of luck. We're coming back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK, we're going to put six more literary works on the board
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and here they are. We have got...
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Remember, we are looking for the languages in which
0:21:37 > 0:21:39these literary works were originally published.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44As ever, you are trying to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Heather, you're joint high scorers on 100 points.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51We need a really low score from you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57Um, I'm going to have a go at The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
0:21:57 > 0:21:58and say French.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK. French you are saying for The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Let's see.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Hunchback Of Notre Dame, was it French
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and if so how many people said it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Yes, it's French.
0:22:10 > 0:22:1259.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14APPLAUSE
0:22:14 > 0:22:1559.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Takes your total up to 159. Richard.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Yeah, by Victor Hugo, of course.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23First published in 1831 as Notre Dame De Paris.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Tanya, the high scorers are Heather and Yasmin on 159.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34You're on 100, so a score of 58 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Um, it's just going to have to be a complete guess.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40The Diary Of Anne Frank,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43German?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47OK, you're saying German for the Diary Of Anne Frank. Here comes your red line.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50If you get below the red line, you're through to the next round.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Let's see, Diary Of Anne Frank, German. How many people said that? Is it right?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59No, I'm afraid that's incorrect. It scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Sorry, Tanya, again I'll give the answer at the end of the round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10OK, now, Dinos, good news - you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- That's good.- That is good news. Can you fill in the board for us?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'm not sure if I can fill it in,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think Diary Of Anne Frank could be in Dutch.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Little Dorrit, I think, is Dickens, so I think it's English.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27But the one I'm going to go for, I'm not sure
0:23:27 > 0:23:32if it's right, but it has been made into a film, Rashomon,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36and I think it's a Japanese film, so I'm going to punt for Japanese.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Japanese, says Dinos, for Rashomon.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41There's no red line for you, you're already through to the next round,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45but let's see of Rashomon is right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Rashomon, Japanese.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Absolutely right. Very well done, Dinos.
0:23:55 > 0:23:564.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03That takes your total up to 51. You remain in double figures.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Well done, Dinos. A nice way to end the round. A 1915 short story
0:24:07 > 0:24:11and, as you say, made into a film in 1950. A Kurosawa film.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Tanya, you weren't tempted to go for Little Dorrit?- I was, yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You would have said English, presumably.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It would have scored 33 points.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The Diary Of Anne Frank, Dinos is right, it's Dutch.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- 27 points for that. Pinocchio, not German but Italian.- Italian.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Italian, absolutely, 21 points.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33And Swiss Family Robinson is in German.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And that would have scored 7 points.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Well done to anyone who got all six of those. Very well done to anybody who got all 12. Terrific work.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46At the end of our second round, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid its Tanya and Steven.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48That was tough, wasn't it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Pippi Longstocking, you weren't far off with Norwegian.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55That was...Norway or Sweden, I was going to go for.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm afraid this is the end the line, this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's been great having you on Pointless.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants. Thank you.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05APPLAUSE
0:25:05 > 0:25:09For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16APPLAUSE
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Congratulations, Abbie and Dinos, Yasmin and Heather.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23You are now only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25which currently stands at £1,000.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31The first pair to win two questions will be paying for the jackpot.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34The difference is that you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39I have to say, Abbie and Dinos, you've kept your head
0:25:39 > 0:25:44while all about you have been losing theirs. My goodness.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46We've had six 100 scores and, Yasmin and Heather,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- you are not innocent. - LAUGHTER
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- You're here because other people did even worse. - LAUGHTER
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Very best of luck to both pairs. It's very exciting.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Now you can put your heads together, anything could happen.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:08OK, here comes your first question
0:26:08 > 0:26:12and it concerns England rugby union players.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15England rugby union players. Richard.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19We will show you images of current or former England rugby union players. All have earned over 50 caps.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Can you name the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five rugby union players.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28England rugby union players, I should say,
0:26:28 > 0:26:29and here they are. We have got...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So there they are. Five England rugby union players.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Abbie and Dinos, you've played best show so far,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55so you get to go first.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58THEY WHISPER
0:27:00 > 0:27:02We're going to go E, Matt Dawson.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Matt Dawson, E, you say. Matt Dawson for E.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Yasmin and Heather. Who are you going to go for?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13A, Will Carling.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15A, Will Carling.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19So we have Matt Dawson versus Will Carling. It will be interesting.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Abbie and Dinos said Matt Dawson for E.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Let's if that's right,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Matt Dawson.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Come on.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- 23. - APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Did you know the other one?
0:27:39 > 0:27:4423 for Matt Dawson. You happy with that? Does that seem like a...?
0:27:44 > 0:27:49- It's OK.- Yasmin and Heather have gone for Will Carling.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51A, Will Carling. Let's see if that's right
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Will Carling.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Will it go down to 23 and beyond?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Ooh, 36. - APPLAUSE
0:28:07 > 0:28:0936 means, Abbie and Dinos,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11after one question you are up 1-0.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- That's surprising.- That Will Carling scored more than Matt Dawson?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Yeah, Matt Dawson, a World Cup-winning scrum-half.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Team captain on Question Of Sport. Won Celebrity Masterchef. Second on Strictly. Quite surprising.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26There are actually two answers that would have beaten Matt Dawson
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and that's B and C.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30B is Jeremy Guscott.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33He would have scored 16 points.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35C, the man who's got the most ever caps for England,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38it's Jason Leonard, he would have scored 3 points.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40He was the best answer on the board.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And D is Jonny Wilkinson.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45A quite surprisingly low 47 points.
0:28:45 > 0:28:4747 he would have scored you.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Well done if you got all of those at home, particularly Jason Leonard.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54OK, thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question. Yasmin and Heather,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58this is the one you have to win to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01It concerns famous ballets.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Famous ballets, Richard.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07We will show you the usual English name of five famous ballets,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09but we've taken out each alternate letter.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Can you identify one of these, please?- OK, thanks very much.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Let's reveal our five famous ballets with alternate missing letters.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18And we've got...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I'll read those all again without the blanks.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58There we are. Five ballets with missing alternate letters.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Yasmin and Heather, you go first this time.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03THEY WHISPER
0:30:06 > 0:30:11We're going to have a try at the bottom one and say Coppelia.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Coppelia.- Yeah.- OK.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Coppelia, say Yasmin and Heather.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Abbie and Dinos, talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I think the top one might be Giselle.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27That's what I thought, but I don't know whether...
0:30:27 > 0:30:32The second to the bottom one, I know it all except for one word.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34It's The Something Of Spring.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It could be the Life Of Spring, or Fire.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39If we're going to go for that, I'd go with Life.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44But there's always the chance they could be wrong. So...
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Swan Lake is the other one. Do you know what, go for whatever you think.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Do you reckon Giselle?- Yes.- Right, we're going to go for Giselle.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56OK, Giselle, say Abbie and Dinos.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So we have Coppelia and we have Giselle.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Yasmin and Heather went for Coppelia. Let's see if that's right
0:31:01 > 0:31:04and, if it is, let's see how many people said Coppelia.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- 25 for Coppelia. - APPLAUSE
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Abbie and Dinos have gone for Giselle.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I didn't even know if it was right. - Neither did I.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- 47. - APPLAUSE
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Well done, Yasmin and Heather,
0:31:34 > 0:31:38you've done what you have to do. You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Yes, well played. There's a couple of answers again that would have seen you
0:31:41 > 0:31:44through to the final. The second one down is not one of them, it's Swan Lake.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47That would have scored you 74.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- Do you know the next one? - Cinderella.- Absolutely.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Would have scored you 15. It's obvious when you see it, but a tough one.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56And it's not The Life Of Spring or The Fire Of Spring.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01It's The Rite Of Spring and that would have scored 7 points. Very well done
0:32:01 > 0:32:03if you got all five of those.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05OK, here comes your third question. The decider.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Whoever wins this question goes to the final plays for the jackpot. Here it comes.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12It concerns Madonna.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18We're going to give you five clues to facts about Madonna for this decisive point.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Very best of luck, both teams. - OK, let's reveal
0:32:20 > 0:32:23our five clues to facts about Madonna and here they are.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25We have got...
0:32:39 > 0:32:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57There we are, five clues to five facts about Madonna.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Abbie and Dinos, you go first.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02THEY WHISPER
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Have you got any clue about two or four?- No.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I know number five.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Which one?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13THEY WHISPER
0:33:13 > 0:33:14OK, you can say.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Um, we're going to go with the name of her first husband,
0:33:19 > 0:33:25which I think was Sean Penn.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Sean Penn, you're saying. Her first husband, Sean Penn.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33So Yasmin and Heather, talk us through the board, fill in all the blanks.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You know the others.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40I know the James Bond film theme, I think it was Die Another Day.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44We knew the husband, I don't know the book.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49We think we know the film in which she played
0:33:49 > 0:33:54Breathless Mahoney, but we're not 100% on that so...
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Shall we go for the James Bond theme?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Yeah, we'll go for James Bond film theme, Die Another Day.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04OK, Die Another Day, you're saying.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06So we have Sean Penn and Die Another Day.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Abbie and Dinos, you said her first husband was Sean Penn.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Let's see if that's right
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and, if it is, let's see how many people said Sean Penn.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17It's right.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- 39. - APPLAUSE
0:34:26 > 0:34:2939. Very hard to call this.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Yasmin and Heather, you have said the James Bond film
0:34:32 > 0:34:35she sang the theme to was Die Another Day.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Let's see that's right and how many people said that.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's right. Can it beat 39?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Yes, it's done it! Wow, very well done. 18.
0:34:48 > 0:34:4918 for Die Another Day.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Very, very well done, indeed, which means, after three questions,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Yasmin and Heather are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Very well played.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03She was also in Die Another Day, plays a fencing instructor.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Married to Sean Penn for four years.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08What would you have said for the film in which she stars as Breathless Mahoney?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Dick Tracy. - Is absolutely right. Would have been an even better score, actually.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16It would have scored 11 points. Her first UK number one in 1985?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I bet a lot of people will get this wrong. It's Into The Groove.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It would have scored 6 points. That would have been a terrific answer
0:35:22 > 0:35:26The best answer on the ward is the children's book she wrote in 2003,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28The English Roses.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- 4 points, the English Roses. - Thanks much indeed, Richard.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37At the end of the head-to-head round, the losing pair, I'm afraid, is Abbie and Dinos.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41We were trying to decide between those two answers
0:35:41 > 0:35:44and I just wish I'd gone with, you know, with my guns
0:35:44 > 0:35:46and gone for 007.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Well, the great news for us is we get to see you again.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53If you'd got through to the final, that would have been it - your only Pointless experience.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58The good news is you will be back. On the strength of your performance today, we expect you to go
0:35:58 > 0:36:02a long way next time. Abbie and Dinos, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03BOTH: Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:36:06 > 0:36:09But for Yasmin and Heather, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Congratulations, Yasmin and Heather, you fought off all the competition
0:36:17 > 0:36:19and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:27 > 0:36:30and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32There it is.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34APPLAUSE
0:36:34 > 0:36:39I'd say you've had an up-and-down time on the show today.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Two really good answers in that.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46I think Coppelia, an absolute knock-out punch there.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49They didn't come back from that. Very good.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Best of luck for this last jackpot round.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56The rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59We haven't had any pointless answers today. You have to find one now
0:36:59 > 0:37:01and you will leave with that £1,000 jackpot.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05First, you've got to choose a category and you can choose from these five options.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06They are...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Mm. I think I'm steering away from Sporting Achievements.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Sporting Achievements is out. And Classic Fiction.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25It's between European Pop Stars and the Oscars.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30- I'd go for the Oscars, because... - You like films.- I like films.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- You like films.- OK. - We have a chance. The Oscars.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39OK, the Oscars you're going for. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many films
0:37:42 > 0:37:45for which Meryl Streep has received a Oscar nomination
0:37:45 > 0:37:48as they could. Richard.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Up to 2012, Meryl Streep is the most nominated actor in Oscars history.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57She's had 17 nominations. You need to tell us the name of any film she has been nominated for.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59The very best of luck.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:02 > 0:38:05and all you need to win that £1,000 jackpot
0:38:05 > 0:38:06is for one of those to be pointless.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Are you ready?- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Kramer Vs Kramer.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18When I said I like films, I don't like Meryl Streep...films.
0:38:18 > 0:38:24- She was... Was she in The Iron Lady? - Yes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- That's not going to be pointless, is it?- No.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29She was in Death Becomes Her, but...
0:38:29 > 0:38:34She was in "Mamma Mia!" That was nominated for something.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38I might have made that up. I don't know what else she was in.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Just pick three of those.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43So if we say Death Becomes Her.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Kramer Vs Kramer. - Kramer Vs Kramer. Um...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Iron Lady or Mamma Mia!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51None of them will be pointless.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Mamma Mia! perhaps.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK. Yeah, OK.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- OK? Are you happy to stop the clock?- Yeah. Ish.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- Yeah.- We can discuss it for another half an hour, but we won't come up with anything else!
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- OK.- We'll stop the clock with nine seconds still on it. What are you going to give me?
0:39:07 > 0:39:11We're looking for films for which Meryl Streep has been nominated for an Oscar.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Um, Kramer Vs Kramer. Death Becomes Her.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- And Mamma Mia!. - And Mamma Mia!.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Death Becomes Her.- OK.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26We'll put Death Becomes Her last, shall we?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Which do you think is your least likely pointless answer? - Mamma Mia!- Mamma Mia!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31OK, we'll put that first.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35OK, let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are. We have got...
0:39:39 > 0:39:43We were looking for Meryl Streep Oscar-nominated films.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Mamma Mia! was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot
0:39:50 > 0:39:53of £1,000, so let's see how many people said Mamma Mia!. Is it right?
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Oh!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I didn't think she was nominated, or anything.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05I was thinking of Meryl Streep films.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07OK, well, it's certainly a Meryl Streep film,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10but, sadly, an incorrect answer, so not a pointless answer,
0:40:10 > 0:40:14which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Heather, what would you do with £1,000?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Um, I'd put it towards a new kitchen, I think.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24We do need to do that and it would take £1,000 off the bill.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26- 500.- Or 500!
0:40:26 > 0:40:28LAUGHTER
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Wades in Yasmin there.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33So, yes, what would you do, Yasmin?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Me and my sister and my best friend want to go to New York,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39so it would go towards that.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41OK, let's hope one of your two remaining answers will win
0:40:41 > 0:40:43that jackpot for you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46We're looking for films which Meryl Streep has been nominated for an Oscar.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Kramer Vs Kramer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53This has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Let's see. Kramer Vs Kramer.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Is it right this time and if it is right, how many people said it?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It's right.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06So your first answer, Mamma Mia! turned out to be an incorrect answer.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Kramer Vs Kramer, on the other hand, is a correct answer.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Down it goes into the 20s, into the teens. Still going down.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13- 11. - APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:1611.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23Which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Everything is now resting on Death Becomes Her.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30We are looking for films for which Meryl Streep has been nominated for an Oscar.
0:41:30 > 0:41:36You said Death Becomes Her was probably your most likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Remember, it has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Let's find out how many people said Death Becomes Her. Is it right?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Ooh, bad luck.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50APPLAUSE
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Well, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03But you do still get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05APPLAUSE
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Yes, she won an Oscar, best supporting actress for Kramer Vs Kramer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Death Becomes Her and Mamma Mia! nominated for Golden Globes
0:42:16 > 0:42:18for both of those, but not for the Oscars.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Out of the 17 films, there's only four pointless answers, so very well done
0:42:22 > 0:42:24if you got any of these. She didn't win Oscars for these.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27She was nominated for best supporting actress for Adaptation.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Ironweed and Music Of The Heart,
0:42:28 > 0:42:33nominated for best actress and didn't win - lost to Cher and Hilary Swank.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36And lost out to Gwyneth Paltrow when she was nominated for One True Thing,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39so very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Yasmin and Heather.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Yasmin and Heather didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:42:54 > 0:42:58it rolls over onto the next show, where we will be paying for £2,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
