0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29where we put obscure knowledge to the test. Here's today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36First up, we welcome back Gemma and Helen.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39You were on the show last time,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42this is your second chance to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Gemma, how do you know each other? - We're best friends, we met in school
0:00:45 > 0:00:51and we worked together and also lived together during university.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And, Helen, what happened last time?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It went spectacularly wrong!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We got 200 out of the first round.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- What was the category? - Pop music.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Pop music. Colourful songs.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Yeah.- Oh, dear, oh, dear. Not a good category for you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10No, it didn't work out well!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Well, you're back now for your second appearance,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16you now know what it feels like.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18What's your perfect Pointless round?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Has to be geography,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- American geography, capitals. Anything.- Excellent.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28OK. What are your hobbies, Gemma?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I do architecture at university, so I'd say I'm a creative person,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34so I like... art and projects.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- Myself and Helen are quite into costume-making.- Really?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41What do you make costumes for?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Halloween, dress-up parties for university...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, welcome back.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You were ill-served by that category last time.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Next, we welcome back Damien and Zac, also on the show last time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Damien, remind us how you know each other. - Erm, well,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I was going to pick someone else for the show and they let me down
0:02:02 > 0:02:07and then I met this bloke in the street and thought "Will you do it?"
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and, yeah, we met a couple of days ago.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yep.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- I'm his twin. I'll do the easy bit. - OK. Very good.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Zac, what happened last time?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Made it to the head-to-head, absolutely kicking ourselves
0:02:21 > 0:02:24cos we chose the option we thought was most obscure
0:02:24 > 0:02:29and we knew the one they picked - we haven't argued about it though...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The head-to-heads are difficult, it all comes down to
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- which order you answer in. Zac, what would you like to see come up? - Erm,
0:02:36 > 0:02:43anything sporty, but steering away from art and literature-y things.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- OK.- We're not cultural people.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Mind you, made it to the head-to-head.- Yeah, true.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- More luck than judgment, I'm sure. - Let's hope that luck stays with you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Great to have you back.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Andy and Heather, how do you know each other? - Heather is my little sister.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Aw.- I know. And that is my role today - to look after her.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Keep her calm.- That's so nice.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Where are you from? - I live in Doncaster.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- What do you do up there?- I run my own online marketing company.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Heather, what do you do? - I'm a full-time mum and housewife.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Whereabouts?- In Sidcup.- Excellent.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25How many children have you got?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I've only got two. Two girls.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Only? That'll do.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34If you get any spare time, which I doubt, what do you get up to?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39I love films, I like reading, I like swimming.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- OK. Favourite kind of books? - I like classic books.- OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Andy, what do you fill your time with?- Erm, I run a badminton club.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Generally, try and take part and watch a lot of sports.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54That's quite good for me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Football, cricket, type stuff. I'm also into cooking and wine.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Cooking and wine.- Yes,
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- so any obscure wine varieties you wanna pick is great.- Good stuff.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Warm welcome, Andy and Heather.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Finally, we welcome back Jaime and Sue. How do you know each other?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Erm, Sue is my mum.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- And what happened last time? - I was one word out from a one-point answer
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- on a James Bond question. - Yes, Ian Fleming,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26novels and short stories.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yes, you were unlucky there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Sue, what would you like to see come up today?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Erm, science, nature,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- DIY.- DIY?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Gardening...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Do you have a kitchen garden or mainly flowers?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- I grow fruit and vegetables. - Lovely. Jaime, what would you like?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Erm, music round
0:04:49 > 0:04:53or TV comedies are good for me. Not American geography.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Not American geography.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59We'll do our best. Good luck. It was round two last time, I think,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01for you, wasn't it?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04We'll find out more about you as the show goes along,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07just one person left to introduce,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10asking the kind of questions that make your head go numb -
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- my Pointless friend - it's Richard. - Hiya.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Hello.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Good afternoon to you.- And you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Are you well?- Yeah, mustn't grumble.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Are you sure? That sounded like a pause. Are you sure you're OK?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Yeah, fine.- What's wrong? Come on.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- What's up?- I'm really tired, I'll be honest with you.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- Well, you've got a lot of young children.- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Three returning pairs today, so that should perk you up,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46you don't have to get to know them. He's shy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51With new pairs, you get a bit nervous, don't you?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- You mix much better when you know people, don't you?- Yeah.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01We've done so many shows, all sorts of different jobs -
0:06:01 > 0:06:05we came across a job I'd never heard before. Sue's job. Remember?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's a farm-sitter.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- A farm-sitter.- A farm-sitter. - How do you become a farm-sitter?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Well, it's friends that have farms and they want to go on holiday,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18so I...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- How many friends have you got who've got farms?- About five.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Are you in The Archers?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Do you remember Old MacDonald?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- He had a farm.- He did, didn't he?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Great job. So three returning pairs,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and Damien and Zac did the best last time, so watch them.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41First round, it's quite a good, involved film question.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Make you think laterally. - OK, well, thanks very much.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53To have a chance of winning the jackpot, find the obscure answers
0:06:53 > 0:06:55those 100 people didn't get.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59The fewer of the 100 who knew the answer, the fewer points you score.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04You're trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Then we add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Right, if everyone's ready,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22let's play Pointless.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30In this round, you each give one answer and you cannot confer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36OK, our category for round one is...
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Can you all decide who's going first, who's going second?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53OK, the question concerns...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Co-stars and their films. Richard?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03We're going to show six pairs of actors.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06We need you to name any feature film made for cinema
0:08:06 > 0:08:09for which both have been credited.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13No TV films, documentaries or short films - voice performances count.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18So any film that any of these pairs of actors have starred in together.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Best of luck.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Gemma and Helen, you drew lots earlier and you are going first.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And our six pairs of actors are...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I'll read those one last time.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59We want the films in which they co-starred.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Gemma, what is the most obscure film you can think of?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm gonna go for The Lake House,
0:09:06 > 0:09:11which has Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in it. I think.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let's see if that's right
0:09:13 > 0:09:17and let's see how many of our 100 people said The Lake House.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:273!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- 3 for The Lake House. - Terrific answer, very good start,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41especially on that first podium. A time-travel romantic drama.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Sandra Bullock has a lake house
0:09:43 > 0:09:47and exchanges letters with former resident Keanu Reeves.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Damien.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54I'll go for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for Far And Away.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Far And Away says Damien
0:09:56 > 0:10:01for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. How many of our 100 got that?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Absolutely right.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well done, Damien!
0:10:14 > 0:10:173 for Far And Away. Good start to the round.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It's going well. Another terrific answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Ron Howard film from 1992.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Heather.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Still looking for any films with these pairs of actors in.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36OK, I'm going for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- and Revolutionary Road. - Revolutionary Road, let's see.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44How many of our 100 said it?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Absolutely right.
0:10:48 > 0:10:513 seems to be the score of the moment.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Where's this one gonna stop? 5!
0:10:57 > 0:10:595, Heather.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02A very high score there.
0:11:02 > 0:11:045. Revolutionary Road.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Heather's keeping up the low scoring - from 2008,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10directed by Sam Mendes. Brilliant book.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13The film - ehh. Less so.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Hmm.- It's all right.- Sue.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- I don't go to the cinema. - SHE LAUGHS
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Erm, the only one I think might be right
0:11:24 > 0:11:27is Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan -
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- When Harry Met Sally. - OK, for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36When Harry Met Sally. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Bad luck, Sue.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44That's an incorrect answer, so you score the maximum 100 points.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Yeah, sorry, Sue, it is Meg Ryan, but with Billy Crystal, I'm afraid.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52OK, let's look at the scores.
0:11:52 > 0:11:543 is our lowest score -
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Damien and Gemma both scored 3, so Gemma and Helen,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Damien and Zac looking strong.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Then Heather and Andy on 5,
0:12:03 > 0:12:09and way up to 100, Sue and Jaime. Jaime, we need some clever scoring
0:12:09 > 0:12:11to keep you in the show.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15OK, can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21We want films in which these pairs of actors co-starred.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Jaime, you're the highest scorers on 100 points.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Gonna take a bit of a risk, then, and go with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Big.- Big says Jaime.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Let's see. No red line for you, you're the highest scorers.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Bad luck, Jaime. Another incorrect answer, scoring you another 100,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49taking you up to an unbeatable 200.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Sorry, Jaime, but between you and your mum,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56you did name us a Tom Hanks and a Meg Ryan film,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58but not in the way we needed.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Unlucky. Elizabeth Perkins is the main female in Big.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Now, then, Andy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10You're through to the next round. Even if you score 100,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12you won't overtake Jaime and Sue.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18- Maybe there's a pointless answer out there.- Maybe, but I won't get it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Film is not good for me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24But I will go with Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- You've Got Mail.- You've Got Mail says Andy. How many people said it?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It's right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:3822.
0:13:38 > 0:13:4022, takes your score to 27.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45From 1998, good answer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Been filmed before - Shop Around The Corner, based on the same story.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55So any films in which these pairs of actors have starred. Now, Zac.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You're currently on 3.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03I'm gonna go for a random one that I believe Johnny Depp was in,
0:14:03 > 0:14:08but I have no clue that Helena Bonham Carter was in it,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10but in pursuit of a pointless answer,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I will go for Rango.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Rango says Zac.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Let's see. Is Rango right? How many people said it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23No.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Good guess. Well, bad guess as it turns out.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29But good tactics.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34100 points, but you're through to the next round anyway with 103.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Yep. Johnny Depp provides a voice in that, Isla Fisher is the female.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42And finally - Helen.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46You're through to the next round. Great news.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Yeah. I'd love a pointless, but I don't want another 100.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It doesn't matter. Take all the risks you like.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I'll never live it down! - No, no! Do what Zac just did.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You've got a massive, great...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Don't know what I was going to say.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07A massive lead. Listen, you're 197 points
0:15:07 > 0:15:09behind Jaime and Sue.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I think I'm going to go for Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- and for Speed. - Oh, Helen. It's disappointing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Well, there we are. Speed. Speed. Let's see.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25It's right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:2941.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Takes your total to 44.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Well done for not getting bullied into that by Xander.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43No pointless answers here. We heard two of the best three answers
0:15:43 > 0:15:47you could've got, which is Far And Away and The Lake House.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51One film would've beaten those - one film would've scored 2
0:15:51 > 0:15:55and that is the first film starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan -
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Joe Versus The Volcano.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00That's the best answer you could've given.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Let's look at the top three answers, the ones that most of our 100 said.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Sleepless In Seattle, 31, that's Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan again.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11There's Speed - 41.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15And what do you think would be top of this?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Er, Titanic. - Yeah, DiCaprio and Winslet,
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Titanic. 91 points. 91 points.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24If you want some more low scorers,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Corpse Bride was a low scorer,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Days Of Thunder, Wolf,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Charlie And The Chocolate Factory scored 10,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Eyes Wide Shut, 20,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Sweeney Todd, 22.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Well, thanks, Richard. So the losing pair
0:16:41 > 0:16:45with the highest score is Jaime and Sue. Bad luck.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Last time, you were unlucky.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Very unlucky, just one word away
0:16:50 > 0:16:52from a lovely low score.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56This time you were less well suited to the category.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00But, Jaime and Sue, this is where we say goodbye.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Thanks very much for playing.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It's now time for round two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Obviously there'll only be room
0:17:13 > 0:17:16for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19so one pair will leave at the end of this round.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Who will it be? Andy and Heather,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25lovely performance there. Very good indeed.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Gemma and Helen... Gemma - The Lake House.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Superb. Great answering from... Was it Zac? Was it Damien?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- I'll take the credit.- Oh, OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You've spent your life doing that, haven't you?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- Any cliche.- There we are. OK. Right, onto round two.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Our category for round two is...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And step up to the podium.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01OK. Our question concerns...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Events and their centuries, Richard.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We'll show you six different events,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11you tell us in which century they occurred.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Obscure answers score fewer points, but incorrect answers score 100.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19A great round for history buffs. See if you can get all 12 at home.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Thanks, Richard.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25We want the centuries in which these events took place.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27On our first board...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'll read those one last time.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56There we are, six events.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58We want the century in which
0:18:58 > 0:19:02the most obscure, to your mind, took place. Gemma.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Erm, history wouldn't be a strong point,
0:19:05 > 0:19:10but I'm going to go for Queen Victoria married Prince Albert
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- in the 19th century? - Let's see if that's right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18The century in which Victoria married Albert. How many said it?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Absolutely right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:2643.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Good answer. They were cousins, of course.- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37As was often the way then.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It was hard not to be. If they had to marry
0:19:39 > 0:19:42other crowned heads of Europe.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Yeah. They were all related.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48It was like the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding of its day.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Now, then, Zac.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58We are looking for the centuries in which these events took place.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03I think I will go for Samuel "Peppies", if that's how you say it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You say it how you like.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11- I'll go for the 18th. - You're going for the 18th century for Pepys' diary. Let's see.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14How many people said the 18th century?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18No.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Incorrect, it scores you the maximum 100 points.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Now, then, Heather.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31You're the last person to have this board. Talk us through it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I would love to, Alexander!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I only know two.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The Domesday survey,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think, was 11th century.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45But I'll go for - an English fleet defeated the Spanish Armada.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- I'll say 16th century. - The 16th century says Heather.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Let's see how many people said the 16th century.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Absolutely right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Well done, Heather. 14.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Very well done. Great score.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Well done. 1588. They only lost four ships, the Spanish,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- and lost 55 more as they tried to escape round Scotland... - Blown onto rocks.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Yeah, absolutely. Let's look at the rest.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Pepys' diary was 17th century,
0:21:22 > 0:21:27wrote about the Great Fire of London, would've scored you 18.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32The Domesday survey was 11th century, Heather - 22 points.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36The spinning jenny was patented in the 18th century.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39by James Hargreaves, 15 points.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43And Charlemagne became king of the Franks in the 8th century.
0:21:43 > 0:21:451 point.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Well done if you got all of them. - Thanks, Richard.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Let's look at the scores.
0:21:51 > 0:21:5414, very much the best score of that pass.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00Well done, Heather. Heather and Andy looking like a strong pair.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Then up to 43, Gemma and Helen.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And up to 100 with Zac and Damien.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's not out of reach, Damien,
0:22:09 > 0:22:14if you find a brilliant answer on the next board, it may be enough.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Can the second players please come to the podium?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Six more historical events on the board. Here they come.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'll read those one last time.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03We're looking for the century. Andy, you're going to try
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.- OK.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Another topic which is not a strong point.- Well, you're on 14,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15the highest scorers are Damien and Zac on 100.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17An 85-point margin.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21I will go for the Magna Carta signed.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- I think that was the 13th century. - The 13th century says Andy.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Here is your red line.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Get below it, you're through to the next round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3213th century, is that right?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Absolutely right and you're through to the next round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4311.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Very well played, Andy, that takes your total up to 25.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Brilliant.- Well played, Andy.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54The charter of English liberties, granted by King John in 1215.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56A few alterations in the next ten years.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I thought you meant the next ten years from now.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- Yeah.- What, we're amending it now? - Yeah, they asked me to look at it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Wow.- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Good luck with that. Now, then, Damien,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12you're the highest scorers on 100.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Yes. I'm equally strong on this subject.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19There are, on here, a couple of fairly obvious answers.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21But I can't use those.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25So it's going to be a complete stab in the dark
0:24:25 > 0:24:28with, erm, Martin Luther
0:24:28 > 0:24:30published his 95 Theses.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I will try the, er,...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- 18th century.- The 18th century
0:24:36 > 0:24:39says Damien for Martin Luther.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Let's see. No red line for you because you're the highest scorers.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Bad luck, Damien. Another incorrect answer,
0:24:48 > 0:24:54scoring you the maximum 100 points, taking you up to 200. Bad luck.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Sorry, Damien. I'll give you the answer at the end of the pass.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Now, then, Helen.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The good news is you're through to the head-to-head, you're on 43.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Take us through the board if you can.- I can't really!
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I wanna go for the St Patrick's one. My mum's gonna kill me!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15But I'm gonna have a guess
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and I'm going to say... the...
0:25:20 > 0:25:2315th century.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Ooh, bad luck, Helen.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37An incorrect answer, scoring you 100 points. Doesn't matter though,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Helen, you were close, if you'd gone 1,000 years earlier,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46you'd've got it! The 5th century is the answer.
0:25:46 > 0:25:511 point as well, it's a good answer if anyone got it at home. Erm...
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Damien, you might've been better going for an easier one
0:25:56 > 0:25:59because nothing scored highly here.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Even Mussolini coming to power - the 20th century - only 39 points.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- And Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook?- 21st century.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That's impressive. 31 points,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14so, again, a low scorer.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Martin Luther published his theses in the 16th century,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21that would've scored 6.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26And Napoleon was exiled to Elba in the 19th century, which scored 18.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Well done if anybody got all 12 of those. Terrific work.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33So at the end of round two,
0:26:33 > 0:26:37the losing pair with the highest score - Damien and Zac -
0:26:37 > 0:26:40we come to the end of your Pointless road.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But head-to-head last time and 200 club this time!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah, we've regressed!
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Ah, well. And we say goodbye to your shirts as well,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- which have brought joy and colour to millions.- Absolutely.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Damien and Zac, thanks for playing.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Things are about to get more exciting - it's the head-to-head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Congratulations, Andy and Heather, Gemma and Helen,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17one round away from the final and our jackpot,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20which currently stands at...
0:27:20 > 0:27:21WHOOPING
0:27:23 > 0:27:27You're now going to go head-to-head. The first pair
0:27:27 > 0:27:32to win two questions will play for the jackpot. You can confer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Gemma and Helen, you are returners, but you are both...
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Both pairs on virgin territory here cos you left in round one last time.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Andy and Heather... You can put your heads together now.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Anything could happen. Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56OK, here comes your first question
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and it concerns...
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- GENTLE LAUGHTER - We're gonna show you five photographs
0:28:04 > 0:28:06of famous wrestlers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11We need you to give us the stage name by which they were best known.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15OK, let's reveal our five wrestlers. We have got...
0:28:31 > 0:28:35OK, there we are. Five wrestlers. Andy and Heather,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39you've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42THEY WHISPER
0:28:42 > 0:28:44(WHISPERING) C is The Rock.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48There's Big Daddy...
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- We'll go with C - The Rock. - C - The Rock.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57C - The Rock, say Andy and Heather. Gemma and Helen,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- talk us through the others. - Well, it was between C and E for us,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04so we're gonna have to go with E and Hulk Hogan.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- We didn't know any others. - Hulk Hogan you are saying - E.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11The Rock and Hulk Hogan.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Andy and Heather went with The Rock, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Absolutely right.
0:29:22 > 0:29:2432.
0:29:25 > 0:29:2932 for The Rock. So, Gemma and Helen, you've gone for Hulk Hogan,
0:29:29 > 0:29:33for E, let's see how many people said Hulk Hogan.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Absolutely right.
0:29:39 > 0:29:4151.
0:29:42 > 0:29:4451 plays 32,
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- which means, Andy and Heather, you're up 1-0.- Well played,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52let's look through the board. A is Andre the Giant,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56perhaps best known for his role in The Princess Bride,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Rob Reiner's film, plays Fezzick. Would've scored you 8 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03B, of course, the famous Masked Man.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Of course.- Kendo Nagasaki.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Would've scored 15. You're from the Northeast, aren't you?- Yes.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15The best thing you can ask someone from the Northeast to say
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- is Mick McManus and Kendo Nagasaki. - (GEORDIE) Mick McManus.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- Kendo Nagasaki. - LAUGHTER - It's good, isn't it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Kendo Nagasaki, all you had to do is go "Uhh" with his mask
0:30:27 > 0:30:29and he'd go...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Have you ever read
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Simon Garfield's book The Wrestling?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- No.- He interviews everybody involved in the '70s and '80s
0:30:38 > 0:30:42in British wrestling. It's just brilliant.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Talks a lot to Kendo Nagasaki. It's really, really good.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47And there's an awful lot
0:30:47 > 0:30:54about D - Big Daddy. Makes you proud to be British, that picture.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58I love the way they wear proper old circus-strongman uniform.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00And he, you'll be glad to know,
0:31:00 > 0:31:04got a huge score - 70 points Big Daddy would've scored you.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- He beat Hulk Hogan and The Rock. - But he's just got
0:31:08 > 0:31:11such a benign face, Big Daddy.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Yeah, you should read the book. - Oh, really? Really?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Really?- Oh, yeah.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19They're hard as nails, that lot.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Really?- Yeah.- Seriously?- Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Seriously? - Yeah. I ain't even kidding.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Shirley Crabtree?- Yeah.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- Hard as nails? You'd have to be, Shirley Crabtree.- Yeah.- Thanks.
0:31:34 > 0:31:40Second question. Gemma and Helen, you have to win this to stay in.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42It concerns...
0:31:44 > 0:31:50We've gonna give you five clues to facts about UK General Elections.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53All this information is correct as of May 2012.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Let's reveal our five facts about UK General Elections. We have got...
0:32:09 > 0:32:13There we are. Five facts. I'll read them one last time.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27UK General Elections. Gemma and Helen, you go first this time.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31THEY WHISPER
0:32:32 > 0:32:36We're going for the time of day polling stations close
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- and we're going for 10pm. - 10pm say Helen and Gemma
0:32:41 > 0:32:47for the time of day they close. Andy and Heather, fill in the gaps.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I wish we could! We only knew that one and the first one.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Thursday, the day of the week they're usually held.- OK.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Andy and Heather say Thursday.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We have 10pm versus Thursday.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Gemma and Helen have said 10pm. Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Absolutely right.
0:33:13 > 0:33:1459.
0:33:17 > 0:33:2059 for 10pm. Andy and Heather
0:33:20 > 0:33:24have said Thursday, the day they're usually held.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Let's see if that's right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Ooh, look at that! 53!
0:33:36 > 0:33:3953 for Thursday. Which means, Andy and Heather,
0:33:39 > 0:33:43after only two questions, are through to the final.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Well played, Andy and Heather,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48they've been on Thursday since 1931.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52They had it on Tuesday then. Thursdays ever since.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The minimum voting age was the biggest score -
0:33:55 > 0:33:5918 is what you have to be to vote, but 80 points it would've scored.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04The number of seats at the 2010 election is 650.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07That would've scored 7. They're trying to cut that by 10 per cent
0:34:07 > 0:34:13for the next election. Any objections? And the current deposit
0:34:13 > 0:34:15is £500.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20And that would've scored 6 points, that's the best answer on the board.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Thanks. So our losing pair,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26at the end of the head-to-head, Gemma and Helen, it's you.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I was surprised you were pipped on the 10pm.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34If people knew what day it was, they may find it hard to think what time.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37But there we are. No, you were pipped.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41We have to say goodbye. But a better performance today.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45It's been great to see more of you. Thanks for playing.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But now it's our Pointless final.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Congratulations, Andy and Heather, you have won our Pointless trophy.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12You now have a chance to win our jackpot, which stands at...
0:35:19 > 0:35:22You were the only newcomers!
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Lowest scorers in round one and in round two, 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- How are you feeling? - Unbelievable.- It's like a dream!
0:35:31 > 0:35:33THEY LAUGH
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Let's hope this dream continues.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41- In your dream, what did you have in your final round? - Erm, I had Paul Newman films.- OK.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43That could come up.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Oh...- They're tough, but they're quite specific.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49If you know it, you're in luck.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Andy, anything you would love to see come up?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Erm, anything but film, literature or history.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59You can use Heather's expertise on Paul Newman films,
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- if that comes up.- Which I have relied on through the show.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08It's been a pretty good team effort. The rules are simple -
0:36:08 > 0:36:10to win, you must find a pointless answer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Find one now and you will go home with that £5,250.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21First, choose a category. This is the tough bit. Five options -
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Here they are.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34American actors?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37It's got to be, hasn't it? Go for it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39American actors, please.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45- What will you do if it's Paul Newman?- I will scream!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:51 > 0:36:55to name as many... John Malkovich films as they can...
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Richard? - We're looking for any feature film
0:36:58 > 0:37:03for which John Malkovich has received an acting credit.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06No short films, TV films or documentaries -
0:37:06 > 0:37:10voice performances do count. I'm sorry it wasn't Paul Newman.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- OK! - You have one minute to come up with three answers and all you need
0:37:15 > 0:37:20to win that £5,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Are you ready?- Yes. - OK, 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Your time starts now.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Dangerous Liaisons,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Being John Malkovich, In The Line Of Fire.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Anything else you can come up with? - Erm...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36That's my top three. Anything else?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Anything where he's being a bit...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41I'm struggling. In The Line Of Fire I know.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Yeah, he's a psycho.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Being John Malkovich. - He's definitely in that.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51But that probably isn't obscure enough.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Dangerous Liaisons is old, that's the only thing I'm going with.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Erm...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Three of those come to mind.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Are you happy? - Yep.- OK, stop the clock.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Then, we shall. OK, John Malkovich films.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I now need your three answers.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Dangerous Liaisons, In The Line Of Fire
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- and Being John Malkovich. - Being John Malkovich.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22Of those three, which do you think is your most likely to be pointless?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- I would say Dangerous Liaisons. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- And your LEAST likely? - Being John Malkovich.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33The one with his name in the title! OK, let's put that one first.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38That leaves In The Line Of Fire in the middle. That's perfect.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Here they are. We have got...
0:38:44 > 0:38:46So, John Malkovich films.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Being John Malkovich you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54You only have to find one pointless answer out of these three
0:38:54 > 0:38:56to win that jackpot of £5,250.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Being John Malkovich - how many people said it?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Well, it is right, you'll be surprised to hear.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Into the 50s, if this goes down to zero,
0:39:08 > 0:39:13you leave here now with £5,250. Still going down...
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Ooh!
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Almost into single figures. - I can't believe that!
0:39:18 > 0:39:23Well, I tell you what - a film with his name in the title
0:39:23 > 0:39:26and only 10 of our 100 people remembered it.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Or thought he was in it.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- I mean, he's not in it much, is he? - No.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34But not a pointless answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Quite reassuring. Tells us a lot about what our 100 people know
0:39:39 > 0:39:42about John Malkovich films. Your second answer
0:39:42 > 0:39:46was In The Line Of Fire. This has to be right,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49has to be pointless, for you to win that jackpot -
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- £5,250. You remember the part he played in this?- Oh, yes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56"Yah..." He's quite creepy.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02OK, for £5,250, let's see how many people said In The Line Of Fire -
0:40:02 > 0:40:04your second shot at the jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08It's absolutely right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Being John Malkovich took us down to 10.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15In The Line Of Fire - how far down will that take us?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Single figures, if this goes down to zero...
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Oh!
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Whoa!
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Wow.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Wow.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Down from 10 to 1. It's looking good for your third answer,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37your most confident answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40The answer you thought most likely to be pointless
0:40:40 > 0:40:42was Dangerous Liaisons.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50For £5,250, let's find out how many people said Dangerous Liaisons.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Is it pointless?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Well, it's right.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Being John Malkovich took us down to 10.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03In The Line Of Fire took us down to 1.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Dangerous Liaisons...
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Oh, 5!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10APPLAUSE
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Well done. You didn't find that pointless answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23but you do take home a trophy,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- so well done.- Thank you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Three good answers and a good performance.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36We have already done Paul Newman films
0:41:36 > 0:41:39in a celebrity special. Vanessa Feltz nicked it off you,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42I'm afraid. Sorry about that.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Let's look at some of the pointless answers. A few big films in here.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Beowulf would've won you the money, Changeling also.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55He's in Empire Of The Sun, that would've won you the jackpot.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Of Mice And Men, Shadows And Fog, The Glass Menagerie,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, The Killing Fields
0:42:03 > 0:42:07and plays Athos in The Man In The Iron Mask.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Other pointless answers -
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Jennifer 8, Mary Reilly,
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Mulholland Falls, Ripley's Game, The Object Of Beauty.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Well done if you said any of those at home. Bad luck here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Sorry.- Did you know any of those?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- No.- No.- Phew.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Well, we say goodbye to you, Andy and Heather,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31but it's been wonderful having you. Done so well.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Thank you for playing.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40No jackpot today so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:40 > 0:42:43when we will be playing for...
0:42:43 > 0:42:46AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Goodbye.- And from me - goodbye.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54APPLAUSE
