0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38First up we welcome Kathryn and James.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41How do you two know each other, Kathryn?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43We went to the University Of Liverpool together
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and we did the same course.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- What was that course, James? - Geography.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- What do you do now, James? - I run a market research firm.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Kathryn, what do you do? - I'm a train manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Training manager, or train manager? - Training manager.- Training...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Oh, that's a shame. It would be brilliant if she was a train manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Perhaps she does training on trains, have you asked that?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I'm going to, I'm going to. Do you do training on trains, Kathryn?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- It sounds like a good niche though. - No, she doesn't. Shame.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What is it you're looking forward to about Pointless?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Any particular category?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Geography and travel I think I'd be quietly confident on.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- James, what are you hoping will come up?- Well, the same.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23If a geography question comes up we're going to be pretty strong.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27So you said that having a look at your fellow contestants.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29LAUGHTER
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You looked at Dinos's shirt and thought, "That's not the shirt of a geographer".
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Is that what you're thinking?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Well now you say it, it does look like a geography teacher's shirt. - Thank you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40He's a maths teacher, but there we are. We'll come to that.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43A very warm welcome to you both, lovely to have you on the show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Emma and Warren, you were on the show last time, everyone gets two chances
0:01:46 > 0:01:49to reach the Pointless final. This is your final chance.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Emma, remind us how you know each other?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54He's my father.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Warren, remind us what happened last time?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00We had a bit of a disaster last time. We got 200 points.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, yes...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I, er, decided to try and be smart and ended up looking like a tube.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Looking like a what, a tube? - A tube...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Have you never heard of that expression?- Looking like a tube. - A tube.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm telling you now, we have a lot of tubes down here in London.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16You don't look remotely like one!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18THEY LAUGH
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Warren, anything you're praying doesn't come up today?- Films.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- OK, yes.- Erm, literature.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Right.- Anagrams.- And anagrams.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Spelling.- OK... Anything else?- No.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34OK, well that's it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39I have very high hopes for you. I think today you're going to do very well, indeed.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Next we welcome back, Abbie and Dinos.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You were also on the show last time. Abbie, remind us how you two know each other?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48We both worked at the same cinema chain when we were students.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And, Dinos, tell us what happened last time?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Last time, we got to the head-to-head...- You did very well!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Yeah, we went 1-0 up, but then we crashed and burned on ballet, of all things.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Yeah.- And Madonna.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Not our forte. - Ballet and Madonna.- Definitely not.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Now then, Abbie, what's going to be your dream Pointless category?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Today it's still popular culture again, I think.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- OK, Dinos?- I think, you know, wearing this shirt,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I've got the appeal of a seasoned geographer.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21If any countries or capitals come up, that should be good.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Kings and queens should be all right, as well.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Also, if we've got any more numbers on the show, Richard, that would be great.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Because, you can count on me.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33AUDIENCE GROANS
0:03:33 > 0:03:37That's brilliant. That's like blind date, circa 1991.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40THEY LAUGH
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Abbie, Dinos, we have high hopes for you today. Very best of luck.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Finally, we've got Ian and Gary, welcome to the show. How do you two know each other, Ian?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52We work together in the same company in Runcorn.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- What does the company do, Gary? - We manufacture furniture.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ian, what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Anything, maybe sport...- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I feel that I'm all right at films.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Gary, anything you want to add to that?- Easy questions?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Easy questions, yeah. Occasionally they come up.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Gary?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16My claim to fame is I was head-hunted to be a dame.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18THEY LAUGH
0:04:18 > 0:04:23A chap come up to me who I'd known some 20 years ago and said to me,
0:04:23 > 0:04:28"Gary, just the man I've been told can be my ugly sister."
0:04:28 > 0:04:30THEY LAUGH
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Wow! Was it a success, Ian, did you watch Gary's dame?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Yeah, I did, actually. - Was it a great dame?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39He was pretty good, yeah. He gave us all a song.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yeah, pretty good.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Will you, will you...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Help!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Listen, Ian, Gary a warm welcome to you. Great to have you on the show.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01He disregards the first answer that pops into his head
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and rummages through his brain for obscurity like a child in a toy box.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I can't believe you've already pulled Gary.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's very impressive.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26It should be a good show today, we've got two returning pairs and Abbie and Dinos were very good last time.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Yeah.- Properly good. Very unlucky to get knocked out.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31It's going to take quite something to knock them off their perch.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36We didn't see as much of Emma and Warren, as perhaps we'd liked, 200 points.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- But Warren never stops smiling, does he?- Never.- It's lovely.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43OK, thank you very much, Richard. All our questions on Pointless
0:05:43 > 0:05:45have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48In order to get to the final round, and a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52our contestants need to find those obscure answers our 100 people couldn't get.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, fewer points are scored.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59What everyone's trying to do, of course, is to find a pointless answer,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02one that none of our 100 people knew and each time that happens
0:06:02 > 0:06:03we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27In this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35OK, our first category today is...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Children's Literature.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50OK, our question concerns...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Nursery Rhyme Characters. Richard...
0:06:53 > 0:06:58We are going to show you seven descriptions of characters as they appear in traditional nursery rhymes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01We need you to give us an obscure answer if you want to score fewer points.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05But, give us an incorrect answer, you're going to score 100 points.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08There are 14 nursery rhyme characters to have a go at home, very best of luck.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Thanks very much. Kathryn and James, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We are looking for the nursery rhyme characters described by these clues.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18We have got.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48There we are, seven clues to nursery rhyme characters.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52James, you're going to try and find the most obscure one on the board,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57There are a few that I recognise.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59There are few nursery rhymes going around in my head right now
0:07:59 > 0:08:01that are not making a great deal of sense.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04There's definitely a couple which I'm confident on.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07So it's choosing which one I feel is going to be the lowest.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm going to say, "Old King Cole was a merry old soul".
0:08:11 > 0:08:15"Old King Cole," you're going to say for the second one down.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Old King Cole, is it right? How many people knew that answer?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Absolutely right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Oh! 78.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27APPLAUSE
0:08:27 > 0:08:3078 for Old King Cole.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33A big score to start with, Old King Cole was a merry old soul.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Very popular soul.- He was a popular soul, that's why he was so merry.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Yeah, perhaps if he'd done a bit less banging on with his pipe and his drum, perhaps...
0:08:42 > 0:08:46It was originally Old King Cole was a miserable soul but he had a long advertising campaign,
0:08:46 > 0:08:51advertising in local papers, TV, radio, that sort of thing, and after that everybody knew who he was.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- It really perked him up.- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Good, now then, Warren.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I'm pleased to say that I actually know an answer,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02that could be correct.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08I think I'm going to go for Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12OK, Little Tommy Tucker, sings for his supper.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Let's see if Little Tommy Tucker's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Very well done, it's right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, it's a low score, look at that! Down it goes 18! Warren.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27APPLAUSE
0:09:29 > 0:09:31That's more like it, Warren,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33very well done, indeed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well played, Warren, that's a proper smile now. 1744, that first appears.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Little Tommy Tucker, tended to be a name given to orphans.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- It's about an orphan.- Oh...- Yeah.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Abbie? - There's a few that I do know
0:09:48 > 0:09:54but I think I'm going to go for Lucy Locket lost her pocket.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Lucy Locket, one up from the bottom there, lost her pocket.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Lucy Locket.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's correct!
0:10:09 > 0:10:1130, very well done.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Yes, good answer, do you know who found the pocket?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Kitty Fisher.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Yes, she would. She's good. - She's very, very good.- It was on the back of that rhyme,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- and the furore that it caused, that pockets started to get sewn into trousers.- Exactly!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Do you know where she found it? - Weston-super-Mare?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36No, it was on the hall table and she'd left it under a bill.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39She put an electricity bill on top of it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43She also, although it's in verse three, she lost her mobile phone.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44AUDIENCE GROANS
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Where's my pocket? where's my phone?
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Yeah, OK, well now, Gary, you are the last person to have this board.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You can take us through the whole board.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Made some tarts, I think, was the Queen Of Hearts.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Had a great fall was Humpty Dumpty.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I am going to go for Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
0:11:05 > 0:11:07to buy her poor doggie a bone.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10"Old Mother Hubbard," says Gary.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many said Old Mother Hubbard.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It's right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:2049.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22APPLAUSE
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's from 1805, a good answer.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Made some tarts was the Queen Of Hearts.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It would have scored 50 points.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Had a great fall, it's Humpty Dumpty but you did well to avoid it,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39it would have scored 91 points.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The best answer on the board is the killer of Cock Robin.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The sparrow with his bow and arrow.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47The sparrow with his bow and arrow, absolutely right, 11 points.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51OK, thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53The best score of the pass, Warren.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56What a turn around. Look at that.
0:11:56 > 0:12:0018. Then to 30 where we find Abbie and Dinos.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Up to 49 where we find Gary and Ian
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and then quite a hike up to 78
0:12:04 > 0:12:06when we find James and Kathryn.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Kathryn we need a really low-scoring answer from you
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and we'll have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Very best of luck.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14We're coming back down the line.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Can the second players take their places at the podium.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23We're going to put seven more clues to nursery rhyme characters on the board and here they come.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24We have got.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Now remember, we are looking for the nursery rhyme characters described by these clues.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Ian, you're trying to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01The high scorers are Kathryn and James on 78,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you're on 49, which means a score of 28 or less, Ian,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07sees you through to the next round.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Yes, it's not a good subject for me, really but I think I know a couple.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I think I will have to stick with Dr Foster.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Dr Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23If you get below that red line, you avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Good luck. Dr Foster, is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31It's right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:3850, takes your total up to 99.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Yes, some big scores all-round here, aren't they? Dr Foster is supposed to refer to Edward I.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46That's what they used to call him, Dr Foster.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Really?- Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51OK, Dinos and Abbie, you're on 30.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54The high scorers are now Ian and Gary on 99.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56If you can score 68 or less, Dinos,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00you are definitely through to the next round.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Well, I think the nursery rhymes of my youth have served me well here.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I'm tempted by "stole a pig," but I'm not 100% sure.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'm going to go for "under a haystack fast asleep"
0:14:12 > 0:14:15which I believe was Little Boy Blue.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Little Boy Blue says Dinos. Little Boy Blue.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Absolutely right, Dinos,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and you are through. Very well done.
0:14:28 > 0:14:3218! Great answer takes your total up to 48.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Very well done. - Well done, Dinos.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Dinos knows pretty much everything. - Yeah, yeah, he's good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Anything you give him, he just trots off a good answer.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- He's good.- Very impressive. Yeah, Little Boy Blue. There he is.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- There he is.- Yes. Under a haystack, fast asleep.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Now then, Emma, the high scorers remain Ian and Gary on 99.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55If you can score 80 or less, you're into the next round.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02I'm going to say, "had 10,000 men" and the Grand Old Duke Of York.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The Grand Old Duke Of York, says Emma. Let's see if that's right,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09let's see how many people said, the Grand Old Duke Of York.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10It's correct.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13You've done it!
0:15:13 > 0:15:1454, very well done.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15APPLAUSE
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Well done, Emma, a good answer. That's 10,000 men, he had.- Yeah.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Now then, Kathryn, you can talk us through the board.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The high scorers are Ian and Gary on 99.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30You are on 78.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32You have to score 20 or less.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Talk us through the board.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37OK, I know four and three of them have been taken.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42"Put in his thumb and pulled put a plum" was Little Boy Blue,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45no, Little Jack Horner.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think that's quite common. That would be my safe answer.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53"Could eat no fat," I think that might be the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57There's an old lady who lived in a shoe.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I don't think she would run through town or steal a pig.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05I mean, is that likely to be in the profiling of an old lady who lives in a shoe?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09She had so many children, she didn't know what to do. She might have stolen a pig.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- This is like watching Cracker. - Isn't?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14This is hideous.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, I'm going to go with "could eat no fat"
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and I am going to say the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21OK, there was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23she could eat no fat.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Goodness me!- Is the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly right?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28How many people said it?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Bad luck, Kathryn.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Valiant effort, I have to say.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I applaud you for that. Sadly, it's a wrong answer which means you score 100 points
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and that takes your total up to an unbeatable 178. I'm sorry.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50Yeah, sorry Kathryn, you were left in an impossible position there by James's score of 78.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Of course, the old woman who swallowed a fly, she ate the horse. That's got fat.- Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Mind you, it killed her.- It did. - That was the fact.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01I love the way swallowing a horse killed her, swallowing a cow, didn't.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- A cow with horns. - It didn't have horns.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Fair enough, it might not have.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09THEY LAUGH
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Let's go through the rest.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Put in his thumb and pulled out a plum, was Little Jack Horner.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18It wouldn't have saved you, it would have scored you 40 points.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Could eat no fat, is Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24his wife could eat no lean. 69 points. Again, a big scorer.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28"Runs through the town," Wee Willie Winkie. 30 points.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The one answer that would have got you through was "stole a pig".
0:17:30 > 0:17:34It was a tough one, "Tom, Tom the Piper's son, stole a pig
0:17:34 > 0:17:37"and away he run." It would have scored you eight points.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Thank you very much, Richard. At the end of our first round, the pair with the losing score,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'm afraid, it's James and Kathryn. There we are.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Anyway, you've learnt a valuable pointless lesson.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50We'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Meanwhile, Kathryn, James, lovely couple, thanks for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:17:54 > 0:17:57But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06There's only going to be room for two pairs at the end of this round,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09so one of the pairs will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Countries.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29We gave 100 people, 100 seconds,
0:18:29 > 0:18:34to name as many American countries with a coastline on the Atlantic.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Richard.- Yes, apart from the USA, we're looking for any country
0:18:37 > 0:18:41on the mainland of South America, Central America
0:18:41 > 0:18:43or North America which has an Atlantic coastline.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48As always, by country we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Emma, you're going to kick us off this round.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I have to say, Mexico.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Mexico. OK, Mexico, says Emma.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mexico.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Absolutely right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:1544.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15APPLAUSE
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Not bad.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23A lot better than 100, Emma. It's got 5,700 miles of coastline.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28OK, Abbie, so remember we are looking for mainland American countries
0:19:28 > 0:19:30with an Atlantic coastline.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I am going to have to guess...
0:19:34 > 0:19:35- Brazil?- Brazil, says Abbie.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said Brazil.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's correct.
0:19:45 > 0:19:4642!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48APPLAUSE
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Not bad at all, Abbie.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well done, Abbie, very good answer.
0:19:53 > 0:19:574,600 miles of coastline. The fifth biggest country in the world, Brazil.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Gary.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'll go with Argentina.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Argentina, says Gary, let's see if that's right
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and how many of our 100 said, Argentina.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It's right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:1535!
0:20:15 > 0:20:16APPLAUSE
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- 35 for Argentina.- Yes, the world's eighth largest country.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Over 3,000 miles of Atlantic coastline.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Thank you. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32The answer from Gary earned 35 points
0:20:32 > 0:20:35so Gary and Ian are looking very strong at this stage on 35.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Then up to 42 where we find Abbie and Dinos
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and then up to 44 where we find Emma and Warren.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43They are all quite close together so no-one really conspicuously far out ahead.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Warren, you are the high scorers at the moment
0:20:46 > 0:20:49so we will definitely need a low scoring answer from you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58OK, we are looking for mainland American countries with
0:20:58 > 0:21:00an Atlantic coastline.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Ian, as ever you are going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09The high scorers on 44 are Warren and Emma. You are on 35.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13If you can score eight or less, you will avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I think, Uruguay has got a coastline.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Uruguay. There is your red line, it's quite low.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Let's see, is Uruguay right? Will it get you below that red line?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It is right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's a great answer, Ian, look at that. 13, very well done, indeed.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41That's how you do it. That takes your total up to 48. Richard.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Good answer, Ian, best answer yet. Just 400 miles of coastline on the Atlantic.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Dinos...
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I'm going to go for Suriname.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Let's see, Suriname, is it right, how many people said it?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Brilliant, Dinos, it's right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You've done it! Three.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Come on!
0:22:06 > 0:22:07APPLAUSE
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Absolutely brilliant, Dinos. That takes your total up to 45. Richard.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Dinos knows everything.- He does.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Just over 200 miles of coastline, so a terrific answer.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Warren, the high scorers are Ian and Gary, still on 48.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22You're on 44.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27If you can find an answer that scores three or less,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30you are through to the next round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm going to go with Colombia.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Colombia, says Warren.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38This has to score three or less if it's going to keep you in the game.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Let's find out. Columbia, is it right, how many people said it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46It is right.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Will it go down to three, though?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Still going. You've done... Oh! Four! Oh!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54APPLAUSE
0:22:54 > 0:22:57This is exciting.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Oh, this is exciting.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Yes, it's a tie. You are both on 48. I love it one we have a tie.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- It's exciting, isn't it? - This is very exciting, indeed.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12As it's a tie, the tied pairs have to give me one more answer each
0:23:12 > 0:23:17and the pair that gets the highest score will be eliminated. You can now confer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22OK, Warren and Emma, you go first.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26We're looking for mainland American countries with an Atlantic coastline.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Have you got an answer?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'm going to say...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Ecuador.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Ecuador.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35OK, we have Ecuador from Warren and Emma.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said, Ecuador.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46GROANS
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Bad luck, Warren.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means Ian and Gary, you only have to be correct.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58We had a choice of two but I think we'll just stick with Panama.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Panama, say Ian and Gary. Let's see how the people said that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Is it right?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Absolutely right, very well done, Ian and Gary, you've done it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Oh, a nice low score, as well.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Warren and Emma, you scored 100 points.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23That took your total up to 148.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Ian and Gary, you scored nine,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26that takes your total up to 57.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Ian and Gary, you are through to the head-to-head. Richard.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Well played, over 1,500 miles of coastline in Panama
0:24:32 > 0:24:34on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38There's no pointless answers at all on this board. Three is the best score you could have got.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So Dinos has already given us one of the best scores.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Three would have scored you three. One was Suriname, which Dinos gave us.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48You could also have had Honduras or Guatemala.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Other good low scorers, Nicaragua would have scored you four.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Costa Rica, five, Guyana, six, Belize, seven,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Venezuela 12 and I think that's everything mentioned.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Let's take a look at the top three.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Brazil, 42, which we've already had.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Canada is the last one we haven't mentioned, 42
0:25:05 > 0:25:08and we've already heard the top one, Mexico, 44.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11OK, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I'm sorry to say, Warren and Emma, it is you.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20We've come to the end of the road. Thank you so much for playing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Thank you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:26 > 0:25:30For the remaining two pairs, things are getting more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Congratulations, Abbie and Dinos, Ian and Gary,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43you're one round away from our final and a chance to play for the jackpot
0:25:43 > 0:25:45which currently stands at £2,000.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47APPLAUSE
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You're now going head-to-head and the first to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The big difference, you are allowed to confer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Very, very best of luck. May the best pair win.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00OK, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Endangered Species.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Richard.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17We're going to show you five pictures of animals that are endangered
0:26:17 > 0:26:21or critically endangered according to the world conservation union, Red List.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Can you identify the most obscure of these species. Good luck.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Thanks, Richard. Now let's reveal our five endangered species.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30We have got.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Blank Rhinoceros, A.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Blank Panda, B.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Blank Leopard, C
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Blank Penguin, D.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56And Blank Hippopotamus, E.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK, there we are, five endangered species.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Abbie and Dinos, you have played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06so you get to go first.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Which letters do you think you know?
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I only know C, I don't know any of the other ones.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18We're going to go with B and say Giant Panda.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23You're going to say Giant Panda for B. OK, Ian and Gary?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Take us through the board. - We thought A was a White Rhino.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33C is a Snow Leopard. We don't know what D is.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We've got a feeling the hippopotamus is a Pygmy Hippopotamus.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40I think we'll go for E, a Pygmy Hippopotamus.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45OK, Ian and Gary say a Pygmy Hippopotamus for E.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Endangered species. Giant Panda, B say Abbie and Dinos.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Let's see if that's right and, if it is how many of our 100 people said Giant Panda.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's right.
0:28:01 > 0:28:0253.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04APPLAUSE
0:28:07 > 0:28:11You were slightly hoping Ian and Gary would be stumped by the other pictures.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I think they're onto a winner there. If it's right, it's beaten us.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Pygmy Hippopotamus, let's see if it's right.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It is right.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And it beats the Giant Panda.
0:28:26 > 0:28:2820!
0:28:28 > 0:28:29APPLAUSE
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Very well done, Ian and Gary. After one question you are up 1-0.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Well played, it's a terrific answer.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41They are about 100 centimetres high and very solitary, pygmy hippos.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Aw...and they're endangered.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Oh, no!- Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50They're like totes endangered. Can you believe it?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Totes endang?- Yeah.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56A is not a White Rhinoceros, it's a Black Rhinoceros.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59It would have scored you 16 points, that's critically endangered,
0:28:59 > 0:29:01the Black Rhinoceros.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Giant Panda, everybody's seen and C is Snow Leopard.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07You're quite right, but you did well to avoid it, it's a big scorer, 78.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12D is a pointless answer. It's a Galapagos penguin.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17OK, well thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Abbie and Dinos, you have to win this question to stay in the game,
0:29:20 > 0:29:24very best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- International Cheeses.- Yeah, the great categories keep on coming.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31We're going to show you the names of five international cheeses
0:29:31 > 0:29:32but they are all in anagram form.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I love the way cheeses from around the world...
0:29:36 > 0:29:41International Cheeses just sounds altogether more Bond, doesn't it?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Who do you work for? Me? I work for International Cheeses.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Ooh-wah-ah, ooh-wah-ah.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54That's a knife.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Sorry. Now then, right, Abbie and Dinos, you have to win this one.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Let's reveal our five clues to International Cheeses.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01And we have got...
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I'll read those again.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22Ian and Gary, I'll give you a moment to work out what's what
0:30:22 > 0:30:25and then I'll ask you to answer first.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We'll take the second one down
0:30:32 > 0:30:34and we'll say Parmesan.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Parmesan you're saying for Near Maps. Parmesan.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Now then, Abbie and Dinos, this is one you have to win.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47The third one is Gorgonzola. The fifth one is Feta.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51The top on, I'm not sure but, I think,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53we're going to go Manchego.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Manchego for Conga Hem. So, we have Parmesan and Manchego.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Ian and Gary have said Parmesan.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08It's right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Parmesan's a great answer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Look at that. 16.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16APPLAUSE
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Very good. Now, Abbie and Dinos, 16 is what Parmesan scored.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27You've submitted Manchego for Conga Hem.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31It has to beat 16 for you to stay in the game. Let's see.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Manchego. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Absolutely right.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Down it goes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Very well done. You've done it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44Three.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Very well done. Abbie, I think, you spotted that one.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Great teamwork there from Abbie and Dinos. Great answer also from Ian and Gary. Abbie and Dinos,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58you've done what you needed to do. You're back in the game. One all.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Richard.- Yes, well played, Abbie.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04The Spanish cheese beats the Italian cheese but two good answers.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Let's look at the rest. Long Zoo Rag, another Italian cheese, Gorgonzola.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11That would have scored you 30. Feat is of course Feta.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It would have scored 79.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Some people do have trouble with anagrams, don't they?
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Clotted Ale - Dolcelatte, another Italian cheese. Dolcelatte.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22That would have scored five points.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25So, Manchego actually the best answer on the board, there.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Thanks very much. Here comes your
0:32:27 > 0:32:29third question - the decider. Whoever wins
0:32:29 > 0:32:32this question goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Our third question concerns...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Richard.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41We'll give you five clues to facts about Dad's Army
0:32:41 > 0:32:44for this decisive question. Very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48OK. Here are our five facts about Dad's Army.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17There we are. Five clues to facts about Dad's Army.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Abbie and Dinos, you go first again.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Have you watched it?- No.- Right.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I think this is a bit out of our era.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31We are going to go for the decade it was first transmitted in
0:33:31 > 0:33:33and we are going to try the 1970s.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34OK, you're going to say
0:33:34 > 0:33:37the 1970s - the decade it was first transmitted in.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Ian and Gary.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43We'll go for the fictional town.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45The fictional town it was set in
0:33:45 > 0:33:47was Walmington-on-Sea.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Walmington-on-Sea you're going to say for the fictional town
0:33:49 > 0:33:51it was set in.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53OK, this will decide who goes through to the final.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Abbie and Dinos, you said it was first transmitted in the 1970s.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Let's see if that's right
0:33:57 > 0:34:01and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said the 1970s.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Bad luck, Abbie and Dinos. Bad luck.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14An incorrect answer, I'm afraid. Ian and Gary,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17you have gone for Walmington-on-Sea,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19the fictional town in which it was set.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21All that has to be is correct and,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23if it is, you're through to the final.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Walmington-on-Sea. Is it right?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Absolutely right. Well done, Ian and Gary, you've done it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3629.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Which means, after three questions, Ian and Gary,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46you're through to the final, 2-1. Richard.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Well played, Ian and Gary, that's a good answer.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50It first appeared in 1968.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, if you'd said '60s, you'd be in the final
0:34:52 > 0:34:55because it would have scored you 25 points.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58It was co-written by David Croft who also wrote
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Hi-de-Hi! 'Allo, 'Allo! Are You Being Served?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03all sorts of things. That would have scored 10 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Of course, it took place during the World War II.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07That's a big score - 74.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10And the best answer on the board, Captain Mainwaring's wife's name.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Eight points, very well done to anyone at home who said Elizabeth.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Elizabeth.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Abbie and Dinos.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Once again,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25it's 2-1 defeat.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Fallen at the same obstacle.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Well, both times you've been on, you've been spectacular.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Brilliant contestants.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'm sorry we have to say goodbye without you getting
0:35:33 > 0:35:36a sniff at the final. But truly brilliant. Excellent. Excellent.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Thanks so much for playing.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40APPLAUSE
0:35:42 > 0:35:46But, for Ian and Gary, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Well, congratulations, Ian and Gary. You fought off all the competition
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13OK, well, the rules are very simple.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21You only have to find one and you'll go home with a jackpot of £2,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Firstly, you've got to choose a category. You have five options. They are...
0:36:35 > 0:36:37It's not going to be Chemistry or Literary Awards.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I wouldn't have thought so.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42We'll go for the Sporting Champions.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Sporting Champions, say Ian and Gary.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:49 > 0:36:55as many one-time World Champions in Formula 1 as they could.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Richard.- Yes, we are looking for any Formula 1 World Drivers' Champions
0:36:58 > 0:37:00who've won the title once and only once all the way
0:37:00 > 0:37:06through from the inaugural event in 1952 the 2011 championship.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Very, very best of luck.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15All you need to win that £2,000 is for just one of those answers
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yes.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock and here they are.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Your time starts now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29Right, the ones that I know is Jacques Villeneuve, lad from Canada.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Yeah.- What's his name?- Jacques Villeneuve.- Jacques Villeneuve.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- James Hunt. - James Hunt only won it once.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Mansell only won it once. - Yeah.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- But...- I'm just thinking of three answers.- Well, we've got them three.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I don't know about John Surtees. I think he won it more than once.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51The bike championships as well.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54He only won it once. As well as the bikes.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Could use him as one and one of the others.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Somebody's going to say James Hunt or Mansell.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- What was it? Jacques Villeneuve. - Jacques Villeneuve, James Hunt.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Shall we go with John Surtees and take a chance?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yeah.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Ten seconds left.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Someone like Emerson Fittipaldi or something like that?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I thought he won it more than once though.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25OK, that's your time up.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28So we are looking for one-time Formula 1 Champions.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I now need your three answers.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32We are going for Jacques Villeneuve.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Jacques Villeneuve.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- James Hunt.- James Hunt.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- And John Surtees. - And John Surtees.- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45We'll put Jacques Villeneuve.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48We'll put Jacques Villeneuve last.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Which is your least likely?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51James Hunt.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53James Hunt, we'll put him first.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56OK, let's pop them up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58We have got...
0:39:01 > 0:39:04OK, so we were looking for one time Formula 1 Champions.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06James Hunt's your first answer.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09You thought this was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer
0:39:12 > 0:39:14to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16So, let's find out. James Hunt, is it right, how many people said it?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18James Hunt.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Absolutely right.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Down it goes. Now, if this goes all the way down to nothing,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28you leave here with £2,000.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Down it goes, still, into the teens.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Right, 16.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37APPLAUSE
0:39:37 > 0:39:4016 for James Hunt.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Ian, what would you do with £2,000?
0:39:49 > 0:39:50What I'd like to do with it
0:39:50 > 0:39:52and what my wife would want to spend it on
0:39:52 > 0:39:55are two completely different things, I suppose.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Do you have any idea what she wants to spend it on?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02I think she wants some new windows. So, that's about it.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Gary?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I could buy some more bright shirts
0:40:08 > 0:40:11but I don't think my wife would be very happy with that, either.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13So, I might put it towards a new caravan.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16OK, let's hope nobody said John Surtees.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18This has to be right then it has to be pointless.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21If it's both of those things, you leave here with £2,000.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24John Surtees - how many people said it, is it right?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's absolutely right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34OK, down it goes. James Hunt took us down to 14.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37John Surtees now taking us down into single figures.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Down it goes. Two.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40APPLAUSE
0:40:47 > 0:40:50OK, so you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53We are looking for a one-time Formula 1 Champions.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55The third and final answer was Jacques Villeneuve.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58You said this was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so let's find out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07For £2,000, Jacques Villeneuve - is it right, how many people said it?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Well, it's right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14That's three correct answers.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16James Hunt took us down to 16.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19John Surtees took us all the way down to two.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Is Jacques Villeneuve going to take us down to pointless? Down it goes.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Single figures. Down it goes. Still going. Oh, no!
0:41:25 > 0:41:26APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Ian and Gary, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all important pointless answer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38But the good news is, you do get to take home
0:41:38 > 0:41:40a fabulous Pointless trophy each.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43So very, very well done.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46CHEERING
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Yeah, unlucky, guys. There's a lot of names on the list.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52A lot of the big scorers were British drivers.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Damon Hill, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Nigel Mansell
0:41:55 > 0:41:58all were big scorers. But there's six pointless answers.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00A couple of them you'll know, I'm sure.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Denny Hulme, the New Zealand driver, won in '67.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Jochen Rindt, the German-born Austrian,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06who was awarded the title posthumously in 1970.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Keke Rosberg, the Finn, who won in '82.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Of course, Nico Rosberg going great guns in Formula 1 at the moment.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Mario Andretti won in '78. He would have won you the money.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Nino Farina won the very first title in 1950 and Phil Hill,
0:42:19 > 0:42:23the only American-born driver ever to win the title, in the early '70s.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Well done to anyone who got any of those six at home.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Thanks very much.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants. Ian and Gary.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36CHEERING
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Well, Ian and Gary didn't win our jackpot today which means
0:42:40 > 0:42:43it rolls over on to the next show when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46APPLAUSE
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
