0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30This is the quiz show where all the questions have been put to 100 people before the show
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers that those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And first up we welcome back Frank and Faye, who were on the show last time.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second and last chance.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Frank, remind us how you and Faye know each other.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Faye's my lovely daughter and I've known her all her life.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- Faye, what happened last time? - Oh, it was a bit of a dodgy subject for us. Literature.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I thought you were going to say some terrible gastronomic tale there.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- It was a bit of a dodgy... subject. - I did feel a bit like that!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Frank, what are you hoping will come up today?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Well, I like football, so a bit of football, and horse racing.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Faye, what would you like to see come up?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Film, TV, Disney.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Disney. Good stuff. Well, you made it to round one last time. Let's hope we see more of you this time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Very best of luck to you. And next we welcome Maggie and Stevie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- How do you two know each other? - Stevie came to work as a temp
0:01:30 > 0:01:34at the company that I was working for in 1975
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- and we've been friends ever since. - What do you do now, Stevie?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I do PA work on a contract basis.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It gives me time for lots of holidays in between.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49- Maggie, what do you do? - Oh, I'm retired. My husband and I emigrated to Australia in 1988.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Happy memories of Australia? - Oh, yes. But it's lovely to be back.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- So travel's going to be great for both of you.- Yeah, should be.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01- Anything else you'd like to see, Maggie? - Yes, please. 1960s music, please.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Excellent.- And Olympics.- Very good.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Well, lovely to have you on the show, Maggie and Stevie. Very best of luck to you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Next we welcome Max and Martyn. How do you two know each other?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Martyn's fiancee is my cousin, so we met through her.- Right you are.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- And when are you getting married? - Erm, in a couple of months.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Very good. Well, many congratulations.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- What do you do, Max? - I'm a credit controller.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I work in accounts and I also do a bit of wrestling on the side.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Sorry, hang on, what? On the side of what?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- LAUGHTER - On the side, on the weekends, I do professional wrestling.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Professional wrestling? What's your wrestling name?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Really, it's just my name with Mad at the start of it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Mad Max?- Mad Max Fury.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- You're called Max Fury? - I'm called Max Fury, yeah. - What do you wear as Mad Max Fury?
0:02:48 > 0:02:54I wear black cycling shorts with "Fury" on my buttocks, if you will.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- LAUGHTER - I don't know whether you can say the other word.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I'll tell you what, it's better than having "Furry" written there.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- LAUGHTER - What's your wrestling name?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07They call me Professor Wrestle. They call me The Profestler.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09LAUGHTER That's what they call me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- What do they call you? - I'm called The Battery.- The Battery? - Double-A, you see? AA.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- LAUGHTER Ah.- Double-A. The Battery. - We should wrestle more than we do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22I know we wrestle a lot off-screen, but we should wrestle more on-screen.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Do you think put some of that on the show?- You think?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Well, there's a ring there. We could... - The Profestler versus The Battery?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Yeah.- Then you tag in Mad Max Fury.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35What do you hope is going to come up today, Martin?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Erm, probably a bit of sport, geography.- Good stuff.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Warm welcome to the show, Max and Martyn, it's great to have you here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And finally, we welcome back Katie and Lin, who were on the show last time.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Lin, remind us how you two know each other.- We're mother and daughter.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And Katie, what was the story last time?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54We did good in the first round, not so good in the second round,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and then in the head-to-head, we got a bit lost on football.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- You've got to be hoping to go to the final today.- We want that trophy.- We do.- Game face on.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK. Very good. What are you hoping is going to get you there, Katie?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Books again and science. That's pretty much it for me.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I don't know anything else. - A little bit of world geography,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13bit of history, lots of wrestling.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Not too bothered about anything. - Very best of luck. Great to have you back on the show.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Thank you.- We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26He's an icon to students everywhere, but I'd just like to say, kids, if you're watching,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29this doesn't count as revision. OK?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Unless, of course, there's a question on Eurovision in your exams.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- This should be fun.- I think so, yeah. - We've already done some wrestling stuff.- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Katie, can you do that game face for me again?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Is that convincing to you? Max, can you do a game face?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57LAUGHTER
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Now turn round and do that game face to Katie.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- That's a game face!- I'm intimidated. - That is a game face right there.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So that's a needle match on the last two podiums, I think.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Yeah.- Should be an absolute cracker. - Brilliant.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Thanks, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16To get to the final round for a chance to win our jackpot,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people couldn't guess.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24So basically, the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you will score.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39So today's jackpot starts off at £5,000.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00The highest score at the end of the round will be eliminate, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Our first category today is...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:06:20 > 0:06:25as many members of the Beale and Fowler families in EastEnders as they could.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for the name of any character
0:06:29 > 0:06:34who has ever had the surname Beale or Fowler at any point in the history of the BBC TV series EastEnders.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Very, very best of luck. - OK, Faye and Frank,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42you all drew lots before the show, and today you are going first.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes. Well... (LAUGHS)
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I never, ever watch EastEnders,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50so this is tricky.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Ian Beale?- Ian, says Faye.- I think.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Ian. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 said Ian.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Absolutely right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Oh! 75!- Yeah. - APPLAUSE
0:07:05 > 0:07:08A very popular Beale.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12He's been in it since 1985, been in it right since the start.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Played by Adam Woodyatt. Been married four times,
0:07:14 > 0:07:19been a loan shark, a property tycoon. Largely a fish and chip shop owner, though.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- LAUGHTER - Maggie.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28Oh, no! See, normally people would be jumping up and down when we say TV soaps.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I did notice there was a bit of a muted atmosphere there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Everyone's looking... Katie looks quite happy. Oh, no, she doesn't.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Somewhere in the back of my mind, was there a Michelle?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Michelle. Michelle, says Maggie. Let's see if Michelle's right,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Michelle.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yeah, absolutely right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Look at that! 28, Maggie!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Very, very well done indeed. 28 for Michelle.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Well done, Maggie. Played by Susan Tully, who went on to direct many episodes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12She managed to have a baby with Dirty Den and with Grant Mitchell. Ohh.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The only thing worse than that is having a baby with Ian Beale, I would say.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Max. Remember, we are looking for members of the Beale or Fowler families from EastEnders.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Erm, not really a fan of EastEnders, but I do know a couple,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30so I'm going to go for Mark Fowler.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Mark, says Max. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 said Mark.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Absolutely right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Well done, Max. Played latterly by Todd Carty.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Katie.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I think there's a rather attractive male character called Peter.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02OK. Peter, says Katie. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Peter.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's right.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- 21! - APPLAUSE
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Very well done, Katie.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20He was actually played by five different actors, Peter Beale.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- At least one of whom was very attractive.- Yes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25He moved to Devon in 2010, if you're interested.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Thanks, Richard. Let's have a look at our scores halfway through the round.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33The lowest score of the pass, Katie, that was yours. Very, very well done indeed. Peter Beale there.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Katie and Lin looking very strong. Then up to 28, where we find Maggie and Stevie.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Brilliantly done there, Maggie. You weren't fooling anyone.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And then up to 34, where we find Max and Martyn.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Then up to 75, Faye and Frank.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Frank, I'm hoping you've got a brilliant answer. - I've got a brilliant one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Good. Very, very best of luck with that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56We're going to come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04OK, we are looking for members of the Beale and Fowler families in EastEnders.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09And obviously, Lin, you're going to try and find the one fewest of our 100 people could remember.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12You're on 21. The high-scorers on 75 are Frank and Faye,
0:10:12 > 0:10:18which means a score of 53 or less will stop you from becoming the new high-scorers.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Not really my thing, but I think there's been a Pauline.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Pauline. There is your red line.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30You get below that red line, you are definitely through to the next round. Pauline.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Is it right? How many people said it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Ooh, you've done it! Very well done! 51 for Pauline!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Takes your total up to 72. - APPLAUSE
0:10:44 > 0:10:50Yeah, she also appeared in the very first episode in 1985, alongside Ian Beale.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55So remember, we are looking for members of the Beale or Fowler families from EastEnders.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Now then, Martyn, the high-scorers are still Frank and Faye on 75. You're on 34.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Yeah, not a good one for me, but I think Pauline was married to Arthur Fowler.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Arthur. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Very well done! Just!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- APPLAUSE - 39. Takes your total to 73.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Poor old Arthur. He had a terrible time of it.- Didn't he?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Went to prison for stealing the Christmas money,
0:11:29 > 0:11:35Pauline hit him with a pan. Ohh. There's a nice bench in his memory, though, in Albert Square.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- That's nice, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- God, it's depressing, isn't it?- Sad.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- No, I mean the show.- Oh, this?- No, not this show. This show is awesome.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We've got Mad Max Fury on the show! LAUGHTER
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Look how close the scores are!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- I know. Very close.- 72. 73. 75 and they haven't even answered yet.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59LAUGHTER
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Amazing. Now then, Stevie.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05The high-scorers are still Frank and Faye on 75. You're on 28.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08A score of 46 or less will keep you in the game.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I'm going to go for one of Ian Beale's many wives,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and go for Mel.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Mel.- Yes.- Mel, says Stevie. She really does know her EastEnders.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20How many people said that? Is it right?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27And you've done it!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Wow, Stevie, that's brilliant! Two! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Two takes your total up to 30.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah, a good answer. Played by Tamzin Outhwaite.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44She dumped Ian Beale just seconds after the wedding, didn't she?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47She was a bad lady.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- She sounds awful!- Yeah, she wasn't great. Mind you, why was she marrying Ian, though?- Exactly.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55That was slightly weird. He gets a lot of women, doesn't he, Ian Beale?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Was that the property tycoon phase or the chip shop phase?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's a good question. I don't know what he was doing.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Maybe it was the property tycoon phase.- I say tycoon.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07He was never Lord Sugar, if you know what I mean.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Right.- But, yeah, he's married a lot of women.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Some quite fit ones, as well. Tamzin Outhwaite.- Certainly.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- That is batting out of your league, isn't it?- Yeah, isn't it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18LAUGHTER
0:13:18 > 0:13:22There we are. Now then, talking of being out of the league,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm afraid to say, Frank, you are the high-scorers
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- even before you've given your brilliant answer.- I know.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30However, if you have a pointless answer,
0:13:30 > 0:13:36it would be like leaving a little bench in Albert Square, you could leave a little 250 quid there
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- for everyone to remember you by. - I have got a brilliant answer.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43My brilliant stab-in-the-dark answer is Martin.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46OK, Martin. Let's see if Martin's right.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- It's right!- Yes!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I did all right!
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- 13! It's a great answer, Frank! - Thank you! - APPLAUSE
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Takes your total up to 88.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Yes, Martin Fowler. He was the first baby ever to be born on Albert Square.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12In the history of EastEnders, one of only four characters not to have married Ian Beale.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14LAUGHTER
0:14:14 > 0:14:18There's actually only three pointless answers in this whole round,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20so very well done if you got these at home.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26Elizabeth Beale, who was Kenny Beale's daughter. He came over from New Zealand.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Gill Fowler, who married Mark, then sadly passed away straight afterwards.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And Kenny Beale, who was Pete Beale's brother who emigrated to New Zealand,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36played by the late Michael Atwell.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39OK, thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43the pair with the highest score who'll be leaving us, I'm afraid it's Frank and Faye.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Once again, it's a first-round exit. And that's it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Frank, Faye, we've had you on twice.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52We haven't seen nearly enough of you. It's been a tremendous shame.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Thanks for coming on.- Thank you. - We've had a lovely time.- Brilliant.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Frank and Faye. Lovely contestants.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00APPLAUSE
0:15:00 > 0:15:02But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Which pair is it going to be? Maggie and Stevie, I can't believe it's going to be you
0:15:16 > 0:15:19after that performance in the first round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Max Fury just quietly bubbling away there. Good, steady performance.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27And a pretty good performance from Katie and Lin, as well. But you were very, very close.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Anyway, a new category. It's round two and our category is...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45OK, our question concerns...
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Richard.- Simpler than it sounds. We're going to show you the names of six famous people on each pass
0:15:55 > 0:16:01alongside the year, you just have to tell us in which town or city they opened an Olympic Games in that year.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04There'll be 12 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10OK, we are looking for the cities in which the Olympic Games were opened by these people in the years shown.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And we have got on our first board...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45There we are. Six famous people.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Which city's games did they open?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Stevie.
0:16:50 > 0:16:56Right, erm, it's difficult to know which is going to be the lowest score.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02I'll go for Governor-General William Deane and Sydney.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Sydney you say for Governor-General William Deane.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Sydney.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- 14! - APPLAUSE
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- 14 for Sydney.- Well done, Stevie. The Sydney games of 2000.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Cathy Freeman, the athlete, actually lit the flame
0:17:29 > 0:17:33and then ten days later won the 400 metres in front of an ecstatic crowd.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So we're looking for the towns or cities
0:17:37 > 0:17:41where these people opened Olympic Games. Max.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I haven't got a Scooby, to be fair. Erm...
0:17:45 > 0:17:51Stab in the dark. I'm going to go Bill Clinton, '96, Atlanta.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Atlanta says Max for Bill Clinton, 1996.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Absolutely right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:18:07 > 0:18:14- Not bad.- Yes, you knew it perfectly well, Max, it turns out.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16And the flame then was lit by Muhammad Ali,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19who'd won Olympic gold 36 years earlier as Cassius Clay.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Now then, Katie.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26You're the last person to have this board so you can talk us through it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Sadly, I wasn't really alive for most of these.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34Erm, King Harald V sounds a bit Swedish, Harald.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yeah. Danish, maybe. Nope.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Erm, I'm going go with Leonid Brezhnev, cos he sounds a bit Russian.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- I'm going to say Moscow. - Moscow you are saying for Leonid Brezhnev, 1980.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Moscow. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Absolutely right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- 26! - APPLAUSE
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Very well escaped there, Katie. 26 for Moscow.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Yes, well worked out, Katie. Only 80 countries took part in 1980 because of the various boycotts.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- None of us here were alive for the 1948 games.- OK.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18But even we could probably have a guess that that was London.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21King George VI. 39 points that would've scored you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Queen Elizabeth II in 1976 was Montreal. 12 points.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32And King Harald V, that was a winter Olympics in Norway, Lillehammer.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Very well done if you said that. One point. Best answer on the board.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Stevie and Maggie, looking very strong indeed on 14.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Then up to 19, where we find Max Power and Martyn.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- And then up to 26...- Fury.- Sorry, Max Fury! What am I talking about?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- I beg your pardon!- Cos Max Power would be a ridiculous name.- Yeah.
0:19:53 > 0:20:00- LAUGHTER - And then up to 26, where we find Katie and Lin. Very well escaped.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Lin, you are the high-scorers, so we need a brilliant low-scoring answer from you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But you'll get first dibs on the board, so it's going to be perfect.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09We'll come back down the line. Second players, please take your places.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17OK, we're going to put six more famous people on the board and here they come. We have got...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48There we are. We are looking for the towns or cities in which the Olympic Games were opened by these people
0:20:48 > 0:20:54in the years shown. Lin, you're going to try and find the one you think the fewest people knew.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58You are the high-scorers on 26. We need a low score.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I know two. I think they're probably the two highest-scoring,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06but I'm going to go for Juan Carlos and Barcelona.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Juan Carlos, Barcelona, says Lin. Let's see if that's right and how many people said.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13There's no red line cos you're the high-scorers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Coming down.- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:21:22 > 0:21:25OK. (LAUGHS)
0:21:25 > 0:21:2728 for Barcelona.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- It's a pretty big score, isn't it, Lin?- Yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33And the flame there was lit by the Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36who fired an arrow through the air and lit the flame.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Brilliant.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Martyn. The high-scorers are now Lin and Katie on 54.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48If you can score 34, you are through to the next round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52So we're looking for the towns or cities in which the Olympic Games were opened by these people.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I think I know quite a few.
0:21:55 > 0:22:02But I'm hoping that Emperor Akihito opened the winter Olympics in Nagano.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Nagano, says Martyn, for Emperor Akihito.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Nagano. Here is your red line.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11If you can get below that red line, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Is Nagano right? How many people said it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well done. You're in the head-to-head.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Two! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:22:27 > 0:22:30That's an excellent score, Martyn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Takes your total up to 21.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Terrific answer, Martyn. Very well played. His father, Emperor Hirohito,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40opened the Tokyo summer Olympics and the Sapporo winter Olympics, as well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Now then, Maggie, you're on 14.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The high-scorers remain Lin and Katie on 54.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51If you can score 39 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Talk us through the board, Maggie. - Er, well, Francois Mitterrand
0:22:56 > 0:23:00has got to be a winter Olympics, so I'm not certain about that.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Ronald Reagan I'd say is Los Angeles.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Hu Jintao is Beijing.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10But I'm actually going to go for the Duke of Edinburgh
0:23:10 > 0:23:16because I was born by then and I'd say that was Melbourne.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Melbourne for the Duke of Edinburgh in 1956.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Is that right? How many people said it?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It is right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28You are in the head-to-head. Very well done, Maggie.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Brilliant! Six! - APPLAUSE
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Six takes your total up to 20, Maggie.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Richard.- Another very good answer. Very good round from everybody.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Opened them in the Queen's absence. Let's go through the rest.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Maggie's taken us through a couple of them. Hu Jintao was Beijing.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Would've scored 26.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Ronald Reagan was at Los Angeles. Would've scored 19.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Now, the top one is a pointless answer,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59so very well done if you knew it was the 1992 winter Olympics in Albertville.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It's a terrific answer if anyone got that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Thanks, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08the losing pair with the highest score, it's Lin and Katie!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Dear, oh, dear! This wasn't meant to happen at all!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13But we go home not having scored 100,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- so we're chuffed with ourselves. - Yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:2154 is a fantastic score. I mean, really. Particularly given that you didn't want the Olympics to come up.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26It's been lovely having you on the show. I'm sorry you have to leave so soon. Katie and Lin.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:24:29 > 0:24:34For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Well, congratulations, Maggie and Stevie, Max and Martyn,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47you are now only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £5,000.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00But from here on in, you are allowed to confer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04So, well, Maggie and Stevie, you've just played a blinder.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Fantastic. The lowest scorers in each round.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Max, if this was tag wrestling,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13they would've had you. They'd have wiped the floor with you.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16But, you know, you can put your heads together now.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- You confident?- Yes. - Good! That was the right answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25APPLAUSE
0:25:27 > 0:25:31OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:33 > 0:25:37LAUGHTER
0:25:37 > 0:25:40There you go, Max. Fashion designers. Richard.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42We're going to show you five photographs of famous people
0:25:42 > 0:25:45wearing the clothes of a particular fashion designer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Can you name the fashion designer, please?
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Wearing the clothes of a particular fashion designer?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Yeah. Don't pretend that you won't know all five immediately.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59No, I'm sure I will. I'm sure I will.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04OK, wow. Let's reveal the clothes of our five fashion designers.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Good luck, both pairs. We have got...
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Now then, Maggie and Stevie, you've played best throughout the show
0:26:29 > 0:26:31so you get to go first.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37THEY WHISPER
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- OK. You say it.- D we'll go for. - You're going to go for D.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yes, please. - And what are you going to say?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- The Emanuels.- The Emanuels.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Emanuel.- The Emanuels. - Emanuels.- Yes.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Elizabeth, I think. - Elizabeth and David, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Emanuels.- Yes.- OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Max and Martyn, talk us through the board.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- Erm...- (LAUGHS) Well, of course, A is erm...- That one.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's a very nice dress. Erm...
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- C I need bigger. - Can we see C on full screen, please?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11LAUGHTER
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- There we go.- Yep. Yep.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- I know that dress.- That's enough. - LAUGHTER
0:27:17 > 0:27:22I think we're going to go for B, and a bit of a guess,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27B, Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29OK. So, we have the Emanuels
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and we have Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Maggie and Stevie said the Emanuels. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Absolutely right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- 30. - APPLAUSE
0:27:49 > 0:27:5130 for the Emanuels.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Max and Martyn, "Yeah, I don't know anything about fashion designers."
0:27:55 > 0:28:00"Oh, but B might be Jean-Paul Gaultier." Let's see if it is. Jean-Paul Gaultier, is it right?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Yes, it's absolutely right. Very well done.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Come on, keep going.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And it beat the Emanuels!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed. 14.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Which means, Max and Martyn, after one question, you are up 1-0. Richard.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Very big in the wrestling community, Jean-Paul Gaultier. There's only one answer that beats that.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Very good answer. A is Vivienne Westwood.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Helena Bonham Carter wearing that. 24 points that would've scored.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35C is Gianni Versace.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37That would've scored you 16.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40And E is the best answer there.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43That is Gwyneth Paltrow wearing Ralph Lauren.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Pointless. She got a lot of stick for wearing that to the Oscars.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- Why? - Because it's made of seal-cub fur.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51LAUGHTER
0:28:51 > 0:28:55No, people just didn't think it suited her. LAUGHTER
0:28:55 > 0:28:58It's not made of seal-cub fur. It's not made of seal-cub fur.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Thank you very much. Here comes your second question.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Maggie and Stevie, you need to get this question
0:29:04 > 0:29:06to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Your second question concerns...
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Richard.- You can't do that on every question, Max.- I know!
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Rule one of Pointless, you can't say, "I wonder if it's Jean-Paul Gaultier"
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and then go, "Oh, I can't believe it." Just five question here
0:29:22 > 0:29:25leading to facts about Andrew Lloyd Webber. Can you pick the most obscure?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31And here we go. We've got...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I'll read those one more time.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07So there you are. Five clues to facts about Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Max and Martyn, you go first this time.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I'm struggling big time, again.
0:30:16 > 0:30:22Erm... I think the song he won an Oscar for might be Music Of The Night.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Music Of The Night, you are saying. Music Of The Night.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32Maggie and Stevie. You can talk us through the board if you like.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- He married Sarah Brightman. - Sarah Brightman, that's it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Prince Edward is the royal family. - Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- The sport. Is that golf? - It sounds like it should be football, but I don't know.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And the name of his cellist brother is Julian.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Which would be the least?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Shall we go for Julian? - We'll go for Julian.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57OK, you're going to say Julian, the name of his cellist brother.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59So we have, from Max and Martyn, Music Of The Night.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Is that the song he and Tim Rice won an Oscar for? Let's find out.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08No.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11No, it is not. Which means, Maggie and Stevie,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14you merely have to be right and you are then going to be back in the game.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Julian Lloyd Webber, is that the name of his brother, the cellist?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Yes, it is! Very well done!
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- 36 the score. - APPLAUSE
0:31:29 > 0:31:35But most importantly, it was right, which means, Maggie and Stevie, you are back in the game. It's 1-1.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Yeah, it wasn't Music Of The Night. It's from Evita, the song they won the Oscar for,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42and it was You Must Love Me.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Would've scored one point. To win the best song Oscar, it has to be written specifically for the film.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51The actress/singer he married, ladies, you're absolutely right, it was Sarah Brightman.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54That would've scored you 30. You were right about the royal family member,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57that was Prince Edward. Would've scored 32.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00And the sport that was the subject of The Beautiful Game is football.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03That would've scored 41 points.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So You Must Love Me is very much the best answer on that board.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Thanks, Richard. So here comes the third question, the decider.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that £5,000 jackpot.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Very best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns...
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Richard.- We're going to show you the names of five books,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25all of which have a number in the title, but we've left the number out.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Can you fill it in and choose the most obscure? Very best of luck.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31OK, let's reveal our books with numbers in the title
0:32:31 > 0:32:34with the number omitted. And we have got...
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I'll read those one last time.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05So there you are. Five books with the numbers missing from their titles.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Maggie and Stevie, you go first this time.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11THEY WHISPER
0:33:12 > 0:33:17We're not too good at this, I'm afraid. We'll have to go for Catch-22.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Catch-22, say Maggie and Stevie. Catch-22.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Max and Martyn, you can talk us through the rest of the board if you like.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I think a bit of a guess, House Of The 12 Gables.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34House Of The 12 Gables, say Max and Martyn.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Maggie and Stevie, you've said Catch-22. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Absolutely right.
0:33:42 > 0:33:4578. As you imagined, quite a high score there.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- APPLAUSE - Oh, dear.- Mm.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Max and Martyn, you've taken a bit of a punt on this.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Let's see if that house has 12 gables, and if it does, how many people said it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Ooh! Bad luck! But you did exactly the right thing there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Sadly, it was a wrong answer.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Which means, Maggie and Stevie, after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1. Well done!
0:34:08 > 0:34:12APPLAUSE
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Sorry, guys, it's a Nathaniel Hawthorne book and it's The House Of The Seven Gables.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Would've scored you 11 points, so would've seen you through.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27The one at the bottom would've seen you through, as well.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30That's the extraordinary Kurt Vonnegut novel Slaughterhouse-Five.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Well worth reading if you haven't. Would've scored 26.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Right at the top there, The Three Musketeers, obviously.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Almost as bad as a wrong answer, though. 98 points that would've scored you.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- And did you know the second one? - I don't.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47It's an 1966 novella by Thomas Pynchon
0:34:47 > 0:34:50and it's The Crying Of Lot 49.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53And that would've scored seven points, so well done to those people.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56And well done if you got all of those.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Thanks, Richard. So at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I'm afraid the losing pair is Max and Martyn, so we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09- But you've had a great game. - We've had a great time.- Maggie and Stevie have been pretty phenomenal
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- the whole way through. - Yep.- Max and Martyn, we'll see you again next time.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:21But for Maggie and Stevie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24APPLAUSE
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well, massive congratulations, Maggie and Stevie.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33You've fought off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Excellent.- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,000.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Well, you've been fantastic. We've flung everything at you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57We've given you EastEnders, Olympics, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- It was those fashion designers. - Fashion designers. - I mean, Jean-Paul Gaultier!
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Yeah. I think you played it a bit safe there. You underestimated the gentlemen.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08We did know some of the others but, erm...
0:36:08 > 0:36:12But I didn't know Jean-Paul Gaultier, I have to say. But the others, I did.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, you've done so well. The rules are very simple.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You only have to find one now and you leave here with £5,000.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27First you've got to choose a category. You have a choice of five options. They are...
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Erm...- Well...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Shall we do words?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- We'll have a go at words, I think. - Words it is.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Good. OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:49 > 0:36:55to name as many words ending in POINT as they could.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Richard.- We're looking for any word that has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English
0:37:00 > 0:37:03that ends POINT. We won't allow the word point itself.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I suspect it wouldn't be a pointless answer, anyway.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11And hyphenated words, trademarks, abbreviations, proper nouns, obviously don't count, as well.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Very best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:16 > 0:37:21and all you need to win that £5,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Disappoint. Underpoint. Needlepoint. Checkpoint.- Oh, yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40My mind's a blank.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Is there such a thing as counterpoint, is there?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Counterpoint, yes. - Shall we say counterpoint?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I'm thinking of counterpart.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Erm...- Erm...
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Oh, for goodness sake, they're so obvious, aren't they,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58the ones that...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Isn't it silly? As you say, disappoint.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Yeah, but that's going to be a high score.- Oh, of course, yes.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Ten seconds left.- Oh, gosh.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27I think we'll just have to go with those three.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Disappoint. Disappointing, isn't it? - It is disappointing.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35OK, your time is up. So we were looking for words ending in point.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I now need your three answers.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Centrepoint.- Centrepoint.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- I know it's a building. - Well, it is a building but hopefully it's a word, as well.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Er...- Needlepoint.- Needlepoint.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Checkpoint.- Checkpoint. There we are.- Charlie.- Checkpoint Charlie.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Perfect. Now, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- What would you think? - Needlepoint?- Needlepoint.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Needlepoint we shall put last. Which do you think is your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- Well, I don't think we know that centrepoint is going to be a word, so...- We'll bung it first.- Yes.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10OK, let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12And here they are. We have got...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17OK, so we were looking for words ending in point.
0:39:17 > 0:39:23You only needed to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £5,000.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28So, centrepoint. Let's see. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it? Centrepoint.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32No!
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Bad luck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40Unfortunately not a pointless answer. You only have two chances to win. Two good chances I'd have said.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45£5,000 is riding on this. Maggie, what would you do with £5,000?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Er, well, I recently lost a very nice bracelet,
0:39:48 > 0:39:53so I'd like, if I could, to get a goldsmith to make another one for me.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57OK. Very good. Well, best of luck with that. Stevie, how about you?
0:39:57 > 0:40:03- I'd treat myself to a new laptop. And also put it towards a holiday. - Lovely.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09OK. Best of luck. Let's hope one of your two remaining answers will bring in that laptop and bracelet.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14OK. We're looking for words ending in point. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, checkpoint.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Has to be correct, has to be pointless.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19If it is both of those things, you win £5,000.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's see. Is it right? How many people said checkpoint?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25It's absolutely right.
0:40:25 > 0:40:31Centrepoint, your first answer, was an incorrect answer, but checkpoint most certainly is correct.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Down it goes into the 20s. Still going down into...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Ooh! Ten! - APPLAUSE
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Ten for checkpoint.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46So you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot of £5,000.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Everything is now riding on needlepoint.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54We're looking for words ending in point. Your third and final answer, your most confident answer,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- was needlepoint. - SHE LAUGHS
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Let's find out. For £5,000, is it pointless?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, of course, it's right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Centrepoint was incorrect.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Checkpoint took us all the way down to ten.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12If needlepoint takes us all the way down to zero...
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- Oh! No! 21! - APPLAUSE
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Well, unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:23 > 0:41:28so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot, but you do still get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- So very, very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Unlucky, Maggie and Stevie. You played so well throughout.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Needlepoint is the third highest answer of all of them on the board,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43just behind appoint and disappoint, amazingly.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47There's a few low scorers which are nice words. There's gunpoint, would've got you three points.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Cashpoint, two. Flashpoint, one point.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Oh!- Let's take a look at all the pointless answers.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57See if you got any of these.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Acupoint is where they put acupuncture needles in if you have acupuncture.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Colourpoint, which is a type of cat.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Embonpoint literally means plumpness.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Reefpoint, which is a term in sailing. Sealpoint, which is a particular marking on a Siamese cat.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- I can't believe you didn't say that. - Oh, yes!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Yeah, sealpoint, yeah, you got it now.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Strongpoint, which is a fortified military position.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23And touchpoint, which is a liaison between a business and a customer.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Yes.- OK.- Very well done if you got any of those ones at home.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28We have to say goodbye, Maggie and Stevie.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- It's been wonderful having you on the show.- We've had a super time.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- It's been brilliant. Thank you for playing. Great contestants. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:38 > 0:42:43Maggie and Stevie didn't win our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45when we will be playing for £6,000.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE
