0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thanks very much.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the quiz show where the aim is to score as few points
0:00:28 > 0:00:30as you possibly can.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32To do that, you need to come up with the answers that no-one else
0:00:32 > 0:00:34can think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41So first up, we welcome Phil and Trev.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Phil, how do you two know each other?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Trev and I met in 1975,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49when we both joined the police cadets in Staffordshire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53We did our time, we served our time...
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- As police officers...- Yes!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And we retired five years ago.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00What would you like to do with your retirement, Trev?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I have a part-time job. During the day, we look after
0:01:03 > 0:01:05our grandsons and that's a pretty much full-time job.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09It's easier to be in the service, actually!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Trev, what do you hope will come up today?
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Prime ministers who like Status Quo would be quite good for me.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17OK.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Prime ministers who like Status Quo.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Absolutely.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25OK, Phil and Trev, welcome to the show, great to have you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Next, we welcome Tom and Dave, who were on the show last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33This is your last chance. Tom, remind us how you know each other.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We're housemates, we go to university together.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37And Dave, what happened last time?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We did OK on the first round and in the second, we joined the 200 club.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43You did really well in the first round.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The second round was albums. UK number-one albums.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49With one-word titles, is that right?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Yes, that is correct.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Why were you so rubbish at that?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55We hadn't seen Top Of The Pops 2 lately.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- It was all proper old music, so... - There was a bit of new music there.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01On my board, the most recent year was 1996, and I was like, four.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Uh!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04What am I supposed to do?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Anyway, listen - we'll have some up-to-the-minute stuff today,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- I'm sure. What would you like it to be?- Um, football again, Pokemon.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I like my Pokemon. Er...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I drink a lot of milk, so I'll go for dairy products...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20What?!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Tom, back a bit.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You drink a lot of milk?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Yes. I drink about six to eight pints a day of milk.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And I pay for them.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31How are your calcium levels?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Pretty high, I think.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Also my blood pressure is very high for my age
0:02:35 > 0:02:39and I've got the cholesterol level of an obese 50-year-old.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It's the gift that keeps on giving, isn't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Very best of luck to you, Tom and Dave.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And next, we welcome Ruth and Neil.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49How do you two know each other, Neil?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Ruth and I work together in the same bank.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm Ruth's manager.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Ruth does all the work, I take all the credit.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It works out pretty well, for me.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And where is this, Ruth?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So we both used to work together in Cardiff,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but I recently moved to London a couple of months ago,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08so luckily I only have to speak to Neil on the telephone these days!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Now, Ruth, what do you like to get up to
0:03:11 > 0:03:13when you're not working at the bank?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16In Cardiff, I used to be a Girl Guide leader,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19so a lot of craft, camping...
0:03:19 > 0:03:24But I've moved to London, so I left my Guide unit behind in Cardiff.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- That was irresponsible.- I know!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Neil, what do you get up to?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm a big music fan, so I'm hoping for some music rounds today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Go to Glastonbury most years.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So music, festivals, travel.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Camping equipment!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Camping equipment would be fantastic.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Neil and Ruth, a warm welcome to the show, lovely to have you here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Finally, we welcome Anne and Vicki - how do you two know each other?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50This is my mum, so I've known her all my life.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52All your life. Where are you from?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Cambridge.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- And what you do? - I'm a singing teacher.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58What sort of singing do you teach?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Any sort of technique from rock stars up to opera stars.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05What do you like to get up to, Vicki?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09I like musical theatre, so going to see shows, concerts,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11watching TV at the moment. That comes up.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I've watched a lot of Jeremy Kyle recently,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15so anyone that's been on that...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18OK. Any of those kinds of subjects...
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's been a while since we had a fight.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- It has.- Yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24We are due one, aren't we?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yes, God. Yes, I should think any day now.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Oh, remind me at the end of the show I need to tell you something
0:04:29 > 0:04:30about your wife?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Now...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Did you see the episode of Jeremy Kyle the other day
0:04:37 > 0:04:40about the guy who drinks eight pints of milk every day? Whoo!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Good. A warm welcome to both of you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45We'll find out more throughout the show as it goes along.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48There's only one person for me left to introduce, he sniffs out
0:04:48 > 0:04:51obscurity like a hungry dog with the smell of food in its nostrils.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Hiya.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56APPLAUSE
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Hi, everyone. Hello.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08We've got two coppers on podium one, haven't we?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I don't buy all this retired nonsense. They never retire.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Look at the two of them.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Have you noticed Trev does that thing, he pretends to be smiley
0:05:17 > 0:05:18and all that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Imagine sitting across an interrogation table from Trev.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26That smile comes on, then Phil wanders in with a cup of tea
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and Trev goes just mental.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- You can imagine, can't you? - Good cop, bad cop.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You might be playing good contestant, bad contestant.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Bad cop, worse cop!
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Round one today is guaranteed to make everyone go, "Oo!"
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- How about that?- OK.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Round one, that's going to be the reaction.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51To get through to the final round
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and be in with a chance to win the jackpot, our contestants
0:05:54 > 0:05:57need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you score.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer -
0:06:03 > 0:06:06an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:31 > 0:06:32and you cannot confer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40so make sure that's not you. Our first category today is...
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Words.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46who's going to go second.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words
0:06:57 > 0:07:02ending in "..oo" as they could.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Words ending in double "O". Richard.- We're looking for
0:07:05 > 0:07:09any word which has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English
0:07:09 > 0:07:13that ends "oo". As always, no hyphenated words or proper nouns.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Very best of luck. Lots of good words in this round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Lots of good words to have a go at at home here.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21OK, Phil and Trev, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:21 > 0:07:22and today you are going to go first
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and Phil, you have stepped up to the podium first.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Racked my brain and I can come up with igloo.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Igloo, says Phil. Let's see if it's right,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34let's see how many people said igloo.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Absolutely right.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4217.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Sounds good to me. 17 for igloo.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Well done. The Inuit word for a dome-shaped house,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53usually built out of blocks of solid ice.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Tom.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Um... I think it's a word - kazoo.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Kazoo, says Tom. Kazoo.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Let's see how many people said kazoo.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Is it right?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Absolutely right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh, Tom!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Very, very well done indeed. Kazoo scores you 1.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Good answer, Tom. A very simple, small musical instrument.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Makes a funny noise.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Yeah!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Neil. Remember, we're looking for words ending in "oo".
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Ruth is generally better at these types of rounds,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37so I'll play it safe and go for tattoo.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Tattoo, says Neil.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Let's see if that's right. How many people said tattoo?
0:08:51 > 0:08:523! Wow.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Incredible.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Tattoo.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Got a tattoo?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05No, I haven't. I haven't.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Why is a tattoo either something you have inked permanently...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Remember that, kids - permanently!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Permanent - they're there for ever!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- But they are COOL.- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Yes, or a sort of military...tournament.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Why does one word mean two different things?- Yes, I know,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31but is there any link between the two? Any link at all?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Nope.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So then, Vicki - we come to you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Fortunately, no-one has stolen my word - I only had one.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm hoping it'll be fairly low.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- Taboo.- Taboo.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Someone was going to say it(!)
0:09:52 > 0:09:56OK, let's see if it was right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said taboo.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59It's right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:064.
0:10:09 > 0:10:114 for taboo.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yes, something you're forbidden from mentioning or doing
0:10:14 > 0:10:17for religious or social reasons.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Tom and Dave, wonderful low score there from you, Tom.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Looking very strong on one.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Up to 3, where we find Neil and Ruth.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Up to 4 where we find Vicki and Anne and then up to 17,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33where we find Phil and Trev.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Phil paying the price there of going first.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Always the way with these words rounds, I think.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Luckily, he's got Trev to back him up, so Trev,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44if anyone can save you, I'm sure it's you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now -
0:10:46 > 0:10:50can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55OK, we're looking for words ending in "oo", Anne.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The high scorers are Trev and Phil on 17,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03you're on 4. A score of 12 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I have two possibles, one I'm sure of...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Hullabaloo.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, she's good. Hullabaloo. Here is your red line.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Is it right? How many people said hullabaloo?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21It's right.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Phew!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Very well done! 3 for hullabaloo.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Takes your total up to 7.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Yes, a commotion or a fuss.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well done on the final podium, Anne and Vicki.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Now then, Ruth.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You're on 3, the high scorers are still Trev and Phil on 17.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48A score of 13 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Well, I had two in my head as well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54One of them a safe bet, one a bit more of a gamble.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Hullabaloo was going to be my gamble,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01so I'll go with the one I think should be a safe bet and say cuckoo.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Cuckoo, says Ruth. Cuckoo.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06How many people said that?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08It's right.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16You've done it! 3.
0:12:18 > 0:12:213 for cuckoo.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Takes your total up to 6.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Exactly the same score, funnily enough.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Lots of very low-scorers on this one.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There are a lot of words that people know.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Now then, Dave.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Tom scored 1, I think what would be right, fit, neat, proper,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37would be for you to score nothing.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We are looking for words ending in "oo".
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Double O.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'm going to say vindaloo.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Let's see how far down your vindaloo goes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Is it right?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49It is right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And you're through. Oh! Very well done.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03You've equalled Tom's low score of 1, takes your total up to 2. Well done indeed.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07We're getting so close to pointless answers here from everybody. Well played again.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09There are lots of pointless answers out there, as well.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Vindaloo, a very hot and spicy curry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Now, Trev.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm afraid you are the high scorers, even before you've given your answer.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Probably to reflect where we are at the moment,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I'm going to go with poo.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'm looking forward to your bit(!)
0:13:31 > 0:13:32OK...
0:13:33 > 0:13:37There's no red line for you, you've already crossed it(!)
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Let's see how many people said it...
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Poo.
0:13:52 > 0:13:549.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57There you are, 9 takes your total up to 26.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Oh, Trev.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Really, until very recently, safeguarding our streets.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Tell you what,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I can tell you're spending plenty of time with your grandchildren.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13There's plenty of pointless answers out there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Let's see how good your memory is.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18A few shows ago, we mentioned the name of a penguin in one
0:14:18 > 0:14:22of the rounds which would have been a pointless answer in this round. Do you remember?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Yes.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It's called a... Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I can't remember. I do remember it coming up.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's called a gentoo.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39A gentoo.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41That would have been a pointless answer.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44There's quite a few more. Let's take a look.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Well done to anyone who said aloo, Indian potatoes, goes very nice
0:14:48 > 0:14:52with your vindaloo. Ballyhoo, a pointless version of hullabaloo.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Means much the same.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Buckaroo, which is an informal name for a cowboy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Cockapoo.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Which of course is a mix between a cocker spaniel and a poodle.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Didgeridoo.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We all know peekaboo.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09That's a pointless answer.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Smackeroo - a big kiss.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Switcheroo, to change something at the last minute,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and wallaroo, a cross between a wallaby and a kangaroo.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Even kangaroo would only have scored you five points.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21There's a few other nice ones -
0:15:21 > 0:15:22boohoo,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24boogaloo,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25wazoo,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28which is an American name for your backside.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31As in, boohoo, I've got a didgeridoo up my wazoo.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32LAUGHTER
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Yes.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Let's take a look at the worst answers, the most popular answers. Too scored 20 points.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Zoo scored 20 also.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48And right at the top, on 25, loo.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Very good indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54So, at the end of our first round, the losing pair with
0:15:54 > 0:15:58the highest score I'm afraid, a lovely, low score as well - 26.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00You'd be glad of that in any round, normally.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03So listen, Trev, Phil - a great waste we have to
0:16:03 > 0:16:07let you go so early, but we'll see you again next time.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round, so one of the pairs
0:16:23 > 0:16:25in front of me now will leave us
0:16:25 > 0:16:27at the end of this round. Best of luck.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Our category for Round Two today is...
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Weddings.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK. Our question concerns...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Women who married famous men.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Women who married famous men, Richard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55On each pass, we'll show you the names of six women and the year in which they married a famous man.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Can you name that man, please?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Nice, obscure answer will score you fewer points,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01but an incorrect answer as always, 100 points.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04There are 12 famous men to guess in all.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07OK, thanks, Richard. We're looking for the famous men who married
0:17:07 > 0:17:10these women in the years shown.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We have got on our first board...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'll read those one last time.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31We've got Shakira Baksh, 1973,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Anne Hathaway, 1582,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Debbie Rowe, 1996,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Elin Nordegren, 2004,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Coretta Scott, 1953,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and Priscilla Beaulieu, 1967.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Six women, and the years in which they were married to famous men -
0:17:46 > 0:17:48who were those men, Tom?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Um, I see another 100 coming. I'm not going to lie!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- I know none of them. - Time to guess.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Bring in your faculty of reasoning.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Look at the dates.- Well...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I don't know any of them, so I'm going to go Anne Hathaway...
0:18:01 > 0:18:04married "Man" Hathaway,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06in 1582.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11You know in the 16th century, they had names?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK, let's see.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14"Man Hathaway."
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Is it right? How many people said Man Hathaway for Anne Hathaway?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25No. Alas!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Darn it. Didn't see that one coming!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I'm afraid that means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Richard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37What would the odds be?!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Firstly, he's got the same surname as her...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And his first name, which isn't a first name, rhymes with hers.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And he's not famous.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Ruth?- Well,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm secretly a little bit glad that they got that wrong,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58because I'm not sure on any of them,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01but I think I might know one - Priscilla Beaulieu -
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I think did she marry Elvis Presley?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Priscilla Beaulieu, did she marry Elvis Presley, asks Ruth?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10If she did, how many people knew that answer?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Absolutely right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:1960.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21APPLAUSE
0:19:21 > 0:19:2460 it scores, but it's right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Yes, Priscilla Beaulieu became Priscilla Presley, of course.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So remember, we're looking for the famous men who were married
0:19:30 > 0:19:32to these women in the years shown.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Anne, you are the last person to have this board,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37so you can talk us through all the answers.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- All of them? Every one?- If you can.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Shakira Baksh might be Michael Caine.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Anne Hathaway is William Shakespeare.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I don't know the next two.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55I'll go for what I'm sure of, which is Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson, says Anne.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Let's see how many people knew Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Absolutely right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:1121. Very well done indeed, Anne.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12APPLAUSE
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Yes, well done, Anne. I can't believe that didn't last, can you?- No!
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Very weird(!) Anne Hathaway was William Shakespeare
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and that scored 49 points, so you did well to avoid that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Shakira Baksh, you're absolutely right, was Michael Caine.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33That was a very good answer, would have scored 10 points.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Ellen Nordegren - know that one? - Tiger Woods?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Tiger Woods, famously, yeah. Absolutely. 8 points.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41And Coretta Scott? Married Martin Luther King.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And that's the best answer on the board, 2 points.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Very well done if you said that.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Anne and Vicki, very good scoring.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Could have been even lower if you'd gone for Shakira Baksh,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but 21, good enough.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Up to 60, where we find Ruth and Neil
0:20:59 > 0:21:03then up to 100, where we find Tom and Dave.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Dave, you know what you have to do. - Yeah.- Very best of luck with that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Can the second players please take their place at the podium?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16OK, we're going to put six more women on the board
0:21:16 > 0:21:18and here they are. We have got -
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51We want the men married to these women in the year shown
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and you're going to try and pick the one the fewest of 100 people knew.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58You're on 21. The high scorers are Tom and Dave on 100.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03You can score 78 or less and be sure of a place in the next round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10OK. There's a couple out there that I'm 90% on.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13But I'm doubting the first names of their husbands, which is never good.
0:22:13 > 0:22:20So I think I'll go with Eva Duarte and I think it's Juan Peron.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Juan Peron, says Vicki. Juan Peron. Who is your red line, nice and high.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Juan Peron, is it right? How many people said it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well done, Vicky. You are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39APPLAUSE
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Very well done indeed. Takes the total up to 45.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well played, Vicki. Great progress again from that final podium.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Juan Peron became president of Argentina.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54And obviously, Eva Peron, better known as Evita.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So, remember, we're looking for the famous men who were married
0:22:58 > 0:23:01to these women in the years shown.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Neil?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I think I know three of the ones that are left.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The high scorers are Tom and Dave on 100.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You're on 60, so 39 on this will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm going to play the safest one, and go for Jacqueline Bouvier,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16who married John F Kennedy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20John F Kennedy, says Neil, for Jacqueline Bouvier.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Here's your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Jacqueline Bouvier, John F Kennedy, is that right? How many people said it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Absolutely right.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3547.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4147, takes your total up to 107, Richard.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yes, just left the door open there for the final podium.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Jacqueline Bouvier became Jackie Kennedy.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Bouvier being Marge Simpson's maiden name as well.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- In an inspired piece of writing. I love that.- Yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- David, you have been thrown a slim lifeline.- Very slim.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01OK, the high scorers are now Neil and Ruth on 107. You're on 100.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Six or less sees you through to the head-to-head. Come on, Dave.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Talk us through the board.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11OK, Ivana Zelnickova, I don't know.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Could be Boris Yeltsin. I don't know. That's guessing.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Sonia Maino, I've not heard of. Cynthia Powell, I've heard of.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I could probably make an educated guess at.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28But I'm going to go for Clementine Hozier, Winston Churchill.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Winston Churchill, you're going to say for Clementine Hozier.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Let's see if that's right
0:24:33 > 0:24:35and, if it is, how many people said that as their answer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38There is your red line. Very low.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Let's see if Winston Churchill gets you below that red line.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44It's right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51AUDIENCE GASPS
0:24:51 > 0:24:5211.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54So sorry!
0:24:57 > 0:25:0011, takes your total up to 111.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I'm afraid, by four points,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04you are our high scorers.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Unlucky, Dave, that's a good answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09There is one pointless answer that would've won it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I'll take you through some of the others.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I also commend your pronunciation of Ivana Zelnickova. Very good.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16But she married Donald Trump.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19She became Ivana Trump, of course, and scored 22.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Cynthia Powell. Do you know that one? - John Lennon.- Became Cynthia Lennon.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Absolutely. Would have scored 16. And Sonia Maino was the pointless answer.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Very tough answer, so very well done at home,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34anyone who said Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi. Pointless answer.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Thanks, Richard. So at the end of round two,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Tom and Dave.
0:25:40 > 0:25:46- Tom and Dave.- Well, Tom. Let's be fair.- Man Hathaway.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50If somebody says 1582 on a quiz, just say Shakespeare.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52LAUGHTER
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Or, just don't say Man Hathaway!
0:25:55 > 0:25:56LAUGHTER
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Anyway, Tom, Dave, I'm afraid this is the end of the Tom Dave line.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03We have to say goodbye, but thanks very much for playing, Tom and Dave.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:09But, for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get
0:26:09 > 0:26:11even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Well, congratulations Anne and Vicki, Neil and Ruth.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You are now only one round away from our final and the chance
0:26:22 > 0:26:25to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26APPLAUSE
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You're now going to go head-to-head
0:26:31 > 0:26:34and the first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38The difference of course is that you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well, two new pairs in the head-to-head.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Anne and Vicki, very impressive low scoring answering
0:26:44 > 0:26:46throughout those first two rounds.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Particularly that last round. How are you feeling?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Feel better now that we can talk to each other.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54We kind of complement each other, so it's better to be together.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You can COMPLIMENT each other, of course. Go ahead and do that.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You've been wonderful!
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Neil and Ruth, you are looking fabulous!
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Neil, have you been working out?!
0:27:04 > 0:27:05LAUGHTER
0:27:05 > 0:27:08You're looking all kind of hench!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10NEIL LAUGHS
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Anyway, so, yes, you can now put your heads together.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Anything can happen. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns -
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Human organs, Richard.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34You'll see five pictures of organs normally found in the human body.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Can you identify them, please?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Let's reveal our five human organs, and here they are. We have got -
0:27:57 > 0:28:00There we are. Five human organs.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Anne and Vicki, you've played best
0:28:02 > 0:28:04throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:28:11 > 0:28:13We're not very good at science.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Probably should've brought my dad along for that.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21But we're hoping if we say one, they won't know any of the others. Sorry!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So we're going to go E and brain.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26E and brain.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Neil and Ruth. Do you hear what they said?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35They thought you wouldn't know any others.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I think we've got an idea on three of the others.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40A is the stomach, B is the liver.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I think my liver doesn't look as healthy as that!
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Not sure on C, maybe the gallbladder.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49So, I think we're going to go for B and liver.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54B, liver. So, we have E, brain and B, liver.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Anne and Vicki have said E, brain.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Let's see if that's right and how many people said brain for E.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It's not 100!
0:29:05 > 0:29:06No, it's not 100.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10No, it's absolutely not 100.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Neil and Ruth have said liver, for B.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22It's right, and you've won the question. 67.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24APPLAUSE
0:29:27 > 0:29:31All of which means, after one question, Neil and Ruth are up 1-0.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Well played. Took us very nicely through some of the others as well.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Because A is the stomach. That would've scored you 59.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Even more impressively, C is the gallbladder.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- That would've scored you 20. And did you have a guess for D?- Lung?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51It's not actually, it does look like a lung, and you can see why,
0:29:51 > 0:29:55with the vein and the artery coming out, but it's actually the spleen.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Would've scored you 6 points. It's the best answer on the board.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Your second question, Anne and Vicki, you have to answer
0:30:01 > 0:30:04this question to stay in the game. Best of luck, here it comes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It concerns the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Now, Richard.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13We'll show you five questions about the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Can you pick the most obscure answer?
0:30:15 > 0:30:16OK, thanks very much.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Let's reveal our five things about the Eurovision.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I'll read all those one last time.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55There we are. Five clues to facts about Eurovision.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Neil and Ruth, you go first this time.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05So, I said I was hoping music came up.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08I wouldn't particularly class this as music
0:31:08 > 0:31:11but I would say the song Abba won the contest with -
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Waterloo.- Waterloo,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15say Neil and Ruth. Waterloo.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Anne and Vicki, what are you going to say?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21We're not sure of
0:31:21 > 0:31:24the first year but the Irish singer would be Dana.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Wogan would be the commentator
0:31:27 > 0:31:30and Lordi won for Finland.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32We are going to go with the bottom one.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Yeah?- You sure?- Yes. And say, Lordi.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Lordi.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41OK, right, Neil and Ruth have said Waterloo was
0:31:41 > 0:31:42the song Abba won with in 1974.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Let's see if that's right and,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46if it is, let's see how many people said Waterloo.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It's right.
0:31:51 > 0:31:5260.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56APPLAUSE
0:31:56 > 0:31:5860 for Waterloo.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Anne and Vicki are saying
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Lordi won for Finland with Hard Rock Hallelujah.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Let's see if it's right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05This is the question you have to win to stay in the game.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It is right. Will it beat 60?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Yes, it will.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14By quite a lot. Look at that.
0:32:14 > 0:32:158 for Lordi.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19APPLAUSE
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Very well done indeed, Anne and Vicki.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23You've clawed it back.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26After two questions, you're back in the game. 1-1. Richard.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27Second best answer on the board,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Anne and Vicki. Very good. It had sort of
0:32:29 > 0:32:31an operatic bent to it, didn't it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Operatic heavy metal with monster movie make-up, Lordi.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38His final TV commentary for BBC, absolutely right, was Terry Wogan.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40That would have scored you 57 points.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Also would have won you the point. The Irish singer, as you also said,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45was Dana, who became an MEP.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47That would have scored 21.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50And the best answer on the board is the year of the first competition.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Well done to anyone who said 1956.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It would have scored you 5 points.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes
0:32:58 > 0:33:00your third question. The decider.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Our third question concerns...
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Mythical creatures. Richard.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10We're going to show you the names
0:33:10 > 0:33:14of five mythical creatures with alternate letters missed out.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Can you fill in the gaps and pick out the most obscure?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Best of luck to both teams.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20OK, let's reveal our five mythical creatures
0:33:20 > 0:33:21with missing alternate letters.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Here they come. We have got...
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50There we are. Five mythical creatures.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Anne and Vicki go first again this time.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00We are going to go for the fourth one down
0:34:00 > 0:34:02and say Sphinx.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05OK, Sphinx, say Anne and Vicki. Sphinx.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Neil and Ruth, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09So...
0:34:09 > 0:34:13We think we know what all of the rest of them are.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I think the top one is unicorn.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I think the next one down is ogre.
0:34:17 > 0:34:24Then phoenix, sphinx and leprechaun for the bottom one.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26So, I think I'm going to go for
0:34:26 > 0:34:28ogre.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30OK, you're going to say Ogre, for the second one.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32So we have sphinx and we have ogre.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34In the order they were given - sphinx -
0:34:34 > 0:34:35let's see if that's right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Let's see how many people said sphinx.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Absolutely right.
0:34:45 > 0:34:4721.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:5321 for sphinx.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Neil and Ruth have gone for ogre.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Is it right and, if it is, will it beat 21 for sphinx? Ogre.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05It is right.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Will it go down below 21?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Oh, no, 26.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10APPLAUSE
0:35:10 > 0:35:1226.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Which means, Anne and Vicki, very well done. After three questions,
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- you're through to the final, 2-1. Brilliant.- And the two best answers
0:35:20 > 0:35:22on the board there so very well done. Both teams
0:35:22 > 0:35:23did all you could, there.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Let's fill in the scores for the others.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Unicorn would have scored you 76.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Phoenix would have scored you 51
0:35:33 > 0:35:36and leprechaun would have scored you 57.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44So, our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, it's Neil and Ruth.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46But, wow, fantastic play. It's been great having you
0:35:46 > 0:35:50on the show. We'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to it. Neil and Ruth,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52thanks very much for playing.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But, for Anne and Vicki, it's now time for out Pointless final.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Congratulations, Anne and Vicki, you fought off all the competition
0:36:03 > 0:36:06and you have won the coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:13 > 0:36:17and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:36:17 > 0:36:20APPLAUSE
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Well, you've done very, very well indeed. Lovely low scoring from you.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27You weren't quite the lowest scorers in the first round
0:36:27 > 0:36:30but you have been the lowest scorers in subsequent rounds.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32You have shown a lot of brain and then you went
0:36:32 > 0:36:36and chose brain as your human organ. This is the tough bit, though.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39This is where you get a choice of five categories
0:36:39 > 0:36:41and they're always pretty tricky, these ones.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44So, very, very best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You only have to find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Firstly, you've got to choose your category. Here are your choices. We have...
0:37:05 > 0:37:07OK.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Not Rugby.- Not Rugby. Not Literary...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13It's going to be Geography, isn't it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Not Elections. American Actors? - I literally know, like, four.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- OK. European Geography. - Shall we go with it?- Yes.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21European Geography, please.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24European Geography it is. Here it comes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many non-EU countries
0:37:30 > 0:37:33that border the EU as they could.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Richard.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37We're looking for any country which is not an EU member
0:37:37 > 0:37:39which shares a border with one that is an EU member.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Very, very best of luck.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46All you need to win that £2,000
0:37:46 > 0:37:48is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Where is Tajikistan?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Is that anywhere near?
0:37:59 > 0:38:00I have no idea.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Would it border EU countries like the Lithuanias and the ones
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- that broke off from Russia?- Very possibly.- Shall we go with that one?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Uzbekistan?- Uzbekistan has to be somewhere around there.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13And then, what about...
0:38:13 > 0:38:19- Is Liechtenstein a member of the EU? - Yes. Yes, it is.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Tajikistan, Uzbekistan...
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Isn't Iceland...
0:38:26 > 0:38:30No, that's an island. Never mind. Carry on.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32They're all European ones I'm thinking of.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35So, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. Where else is there?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39What about, like, Jordan or anywhere near there?
0:38:39 > 0:38:40My geography is not that good.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Jordan. You know my geography's awful. Ten seconds.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and think of somewhere else.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Jordan?
0:38:53 > 0:38:55No, that's not...
0:38:55 > 0:38:58OK. That's your time up.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01We were looking for non-EU countries that border the EU.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02I now need your three answers.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07OK, we are not really sure on any of them. We are going to try Jordan...
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Jordan.- ..Uzbekistan...- Uzbekistan. - ..and Tajikistan.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13And Tajikistan. Of those three,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- I think best shot would be Tajikistan.- Tajikistan.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22OK, we'll put that last.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Your least likely?- Jordan.- Jordan.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- We'll put that first.- Yes.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30OK, let's put those on the board in that order. And here they come.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33We have got Jordan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38OK, so we were looking for non-EU countries that border the EU.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Your least confident shot at a pointless answer was Jordan.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Remember, you only have to find
0:39:42 > 0:39:45one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48So, let's see, Jordan, is it right and, if it is,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50how many of our 100 people said Jordan?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52This, for £2,000.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00OK, an incorrect answer. So, obviously not a pointless answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Which means you only have
0:40:02 > 0:40:04two chances left to win our jackpot today.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Now, the jackpot is £2,000. Anne, what would you do
0:40:07 > 0:40:09with your £2,000 jackpot?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Obviously, Vicki would take half of it.- Well, indeed.
0:40:11 > 0:40:18The other half, I would give to my son to make it fair...ish.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- That's not fair on you.- It is. - Really?- Yes.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- You almost got a clap there. - Go on, clap.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27A single clap there, from someone's son.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Yeah.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Vicki.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I got my leaver's ball on Friday
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- so I'd go buy an expensive pair of shoes for that.- No, she wouldn't.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Yes, I would. And then probably just save it for uni
0:40:39 > 0:40:40and build a little nest egg.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43OK, well, we are looking for non-EU countries that border the EU.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Uzbekistan.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49That sounds like a good answer to me. Let's see.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Uzbekistan - is it right? How many people said it? For £2,000.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh, bad luck.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00An incorrect answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03So, everything is now riding on Tajikistan.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Everything, now, rides on Tajikistan for £2,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Is it right?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14How many people said it? Tajikistan.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- Oh, bad luck.- Oh, well.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:26We are rubbish at geography.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Well, unfortunately,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:30 > 0:41:33but you do still get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34So, very, very well done.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I'm all right with that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43You played so well throughout.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46There was one point there, Anne and Vicki,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49where one word just cost you £2,000.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52And that's when Vicki said, "Is Liechtenstein a member of the EU?"
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Oh, no.- And instead of saying no, you said yes.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58It isn't and it would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- It would have won you the money. - Sorry.- It's all right.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Funnily enough, the Uzbekistans and Tajikistans,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05not the places to go on here. Uzbekistan is bordered by
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12The four pointless answers are here.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Andorra, which is nestled in the Pyrenees.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Liechtenstein would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Moldova and San Marino.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Those were the pointless answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Plenty of people would've gone the same route
0:42:26 > 0:42:28as you did of some of the former Soviet republics
0:42:28 > 0:42:32but actually you want to look more inside Europe rather than outside.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Anne and Vicki, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Thank you both very, very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42APPLAUSE
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Well, Anne and Vicki didn't win our jackpot today so it rolls over.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Which means on the next show we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52CHEERING
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02APPLAUSE
