Episode 47 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless,

where we put obscure knowledge to the test. Here's today's players.

First up, we welcome back Gemma and Helen.

You were on the show last time,

this is your second chance to reach the Pointless final.

-Gemma, how do you know each other?

-We're best friends, we met in school

and we worked together and also lived together during university.

And, Helen, what happened last time?

It went spectacularly wrong!

We got 200 out of the first round.

-What was the category?

-Pop music.

Pop music. Colourful songs.

-Yeah.

-Oh, dear, oh, dear. Not a good category for you.

No, it didn't work out well!

Well, you're back now for your second appearance,

you now know what it feels like.

What's your perfect Pointless round?

Has to be geography,

-American geography, capitals. Anything.

-Excellent.

OK. What are your hobbies, Gemma?

I do architecture at university, so I'd say I'm a creative person,

so I like... art and projects.

-Myself and Helen are quite into costume-making.

-Really?

What do you make costumes for?

Halloween, dress-up parties for university...

Well, welcome back.

You were ill-served by that category last time.

Next, we welcome back Damien and Zac, also on the show last time.

-Damien, remind us how you know each other.

-Erm, well,

I was going to pick someone else for the show and they let me down

and then I met this bloke in the street and thought "Will you do it?"

and, yeah, we met a couple of days ago.

Yep.

-I'm his twin. I'll do the easy bit.

-OK. Very good.

Zac, what happened last time?

Made it to the head-to-head, absolutely kicking ourselves

cos we chose the option we thought was most obscure

and we knew the one they picked - we haven't argued about it though...

The head-to-heads are difficult, it all comes down to

-which order you answer in. Zac, what would you like to see come up?

-Erm,

anything sporty, but steering away from art and literature-y things.

-OK.

-We're not cultural people.

-Mind you, made it to the head-to-head.

-Yeah, true.

-More luck than judgment, I'm sure.

-Let's hope that luck stays with you.

Great to have you back.

-Andy and Heather, how do you know each other?

-Heather is my little sister.

-Aw.

-I know. And that is my role today - to look after her.

-Keep her calm.

-That's so nice.

-Where are you from?

-I live in Doncaster.

-What do you do up there?

-I run my own online marketing company.

-Heather, what do you do?

-I'm a full-time mum and housewife.

-Whereabouts?

-In Sidcup.

-Excellent.

How many children have you got?

I've only got two. Two girls.

Only? That'll do.

If you get any spare time, which I doubt, what do you get up to?

I love films, I like reading, I like swimming.

-OK. Favourite kind of books?

-I like classic books.

-OK.

-Andy, what do you fill your time with?

-Erm, I run a badminton club.

Generally, try and take part and watch a lot of sports.

That's quite good for me.

Football, cricket, type stuff. I'm also into cooking and wine.

-Cooking and wine.

-Yes,

-so any obscure wine varieties you wanna pick is great.

-Good stuff.

Warm welcome, Andy and Heather.

Finally, we welcome back Jaime and Sue. How do you know each other?

Erm, Sue is my mum.

-And what happened last time?

-I was one word out from a one-point answer

-on a James Bond question.

-Yes, Ian Fleming,

novels and short stories.

Yes, you were unlucky there.

Sue, what would you like to see come up today?

Erm, science, nature,

-DIY.

-DIY?

Gardening...

Do you have a kitchen garden or mainly flowers?

-I grow fruit and vegetables.

-Lovely. Jaime, what would you like?

Erm, music round

or TV comedies are good for me. Not American geography.

Not American geography.

We'll do our best. Good luck. It was round two last time, I think,

for you, wasn't it?

We'll find out more about you as the show goes along,

just one person left to introduce,

asking the kind of questions that make your head go numb -

-my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

-Hiya.

Hello.

-Good afternoon to you.

-And you.

-Are you well?

-Yeah, mustn't grumble.

Are you sure? That sounded like a pause. Are you sure you're OK?

-Yeah, fine.

-What's wrong? Come on.

-What's up?

-I'm really tired, I'll be honest with you.

-Well, you've got a lot of young children.

-Yeah, yeah.

Three returning pairs today, so that should perk you up,

you don't have to get to know them. He's shy.

With new pairs, you get a bit nervous, don't you?

-You mix much better when you know people, don't you?

-Yeah.

We've done so many shows, all sorts of different jobs -

we came across a job I'd never heard before. Sue's job. Remember?

It's a farm-sitter.

-A farm-sitter.

-A farm-sitter.

-How do you become a farm-sitter?

Well, it's friends that have farms and they want to go on holiday,

so I...

-How many friends have you got who've got farms?

-About five.

Are you in The Archers?

Do you remember Old MacDonald?

-He had a farm.

-He did, didn't he?

Great job. So three returning pairs,

and Damien and Zac did the best last time, so watch them.

First round, it's quite a good, involved film question.

-Make you think laterally.

-OK, well, thanks very much.

Our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

To have a chance of winning the jackpot, find the obscure answers

those 100 people didn't get.

The fewer of the 100 who knew the answer, the fewer points you score.

You're trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave.

Then we add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time,

so we add another £1,000 to that,

so today's jackpot starts off at...

Right, if everyone's ready,

let's play Pointless.

In this round, you each give one answer and you cannot confer.

Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated.

OK, our category for round one is...

Can you all decide who's going first, who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, the question concerns...

Co-stars and their films. Richard?

We're going to show six pairs of actors.

We need you to name any feature film made for cinema

for which both have been credited.

No TV films, documentaries or short films - voice performances count.

So any film that any of these pairs of actors have starred in together.

Best of luck.

Gemma and Helen, you drew lots earlier and you are going first.

And our six pairs of actors are...

I'll read those one last time.

We want the films in which they co-starred.

Gemma, what is the most obscure film you can think of?

I'm gonna go for The Lake House,

which has Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in it. I think.

Let's see if that's right

and let's see how many of our 100 people said The Lake House.

It's right.

3!

-3 for The Lake House.

-Terrific answer, very good start,

especially on that first podium. A time-travel romantic drama.

Sandra Bullock has a lake house

and exchanges letters with former resident Keanu Reeves.

Damien.

I'll go for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for Far And Away.

Far And Away says Damien

for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. How many of our 100 got that?

Absolutely right.

Well done, Damien!

3 for Far And Away. Good start to the round.

It's going well. Another terrific answer.

Ron Howard film from 1992.

Heather.

Still looking for any films with these pairs of actors in.

OK, I'm going for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

-and Revolutionary Road.

-Revolutionary Road, let's see.

How many of our 100 said it?

Absolutely right.

3 seems to be the score of the moment.

Where's this one gonna stop? 5!

5, Heather.

A very high score there.

5. Revolutionary Road.

Heather's keeping up the low scoring - from 2008,

directed by Sam Mendes. Brilliant book.

The film - ehh. Less so.

-Hmm.

-It's all right.

-Sue.

-I don't go to the cinema.

-SHE LAUGHS

Erm, the only one I think might be right

is Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan -

-When Harry Met Sally.

-OK, for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

When Harry Met Sally. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.

Bad luck, Sue.

That's an incorrect answer, so you score the maximum 100 points.

Yeah, sorry, Sue, it is Meg Ryan, but with Billy Crystal, I'm afraid.

Oh, right.

OK, let's look at the scores.

3 is our lowest score -

Damien and Gemma both scored 3, so Gemma and Helen,

Damien and Zac looking strong.

Then Heather and Andy on 5,

and way up to 100, Sue and Jaime. Jaime, we need some clever scoring

to keep you in the show.

OK, can the second players take their places at the podium?

We want films in which these pairs of actors co-starred.

Jaime, you're the highest scorers on 100 points.

Gonna take a bit of a risk, then, and go with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan,

-Big.

-Big says Jaime.

Let's see. No red line for you, you're the highest scorers.

Bad luck, Jaime. Another incorrect answer, scoring you another 100,

taking you up to an unbeatable 200.

Sorry, Jaime, but between you and your mum,

you did name us a Tom Hanks and a Meg Ryan film,

but not in the way we needed.

Unlucky. Elizabeth Perkins is the main female in Big.

Now, then, Andy.

You're through to the next round. Even if you score 100,

you won't overtake Jaime and Sue.

-Maybe there's a pointless answer out there.

-Maybe, but I won't get it.

Film is not good for me.

But I will go with Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan,

-You've Got Mail.

-You've Got Mail says Andy. How many people said it?

It's right.

22.

22, takes your score to 27.

From 1998, good answer.

Been filmed before - Shop Around The Corner, based on the same story.

So any films in which these pairs of actors have starred. Now, Zac.

You're currently on 3.

I'm gonna go for a random one that I believe Johnny Depp was in,

but I have no clue that Helena Bonham Carter was in it,

but in pursuit of a pointless answer,

I will go for Rango.

Rango says Zac.

Let's see. Is Rango right? How many people said it?

No.

Good guess. Well, bad guess as it turns out.

But good tactics.

100 points, but you're through to the next round anyway with 103.

Yep. Johnny Depp provides a voice in that, Isla Fisher is the female.

And finally - Helen.

You're through to the next round. Great news.

Yeah. I'd love a pointless, but I don't want another 100.

It doesn't matter. Take all the risks you like.

-I'll never live it down!

-No, no! Do what Zac just did.

You've got a massive, great...

Don't know what I was going to say.

A massive lead. Listen, you're 197 points

behind Jaime and Sue.

I think I'm going to go for Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock

-and for Speed.

-Oh, Helen. It's disappointing.

Well, there we are. Speed. Speed. Let's see.

It's right.

41.

Takes your total to 44.

Well done for not getting bullied into that by Xander.

No pointless answers here. We heard two of the best three answers

you could've got, which is Far And Away and The Lake House.

One film would've beaten those - one film would've scored 2

and that is the first film starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan -

Joe Versus The Volcano.

That's the best answer you could've given.

Let's look at the top three answers, the ones that most of our 100 said.

Sleepless In Seattle, 31, that's Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan again.

There's Speed - 41.

And what do you think would be top of this?

-Er, Titanic.

-Yeah, DiCaprio and Winslet,

Titanic. 91 points. 91 points.

If you want some more low scorers,

Corpse Bride was a low scorer,

Days Of Thunder, Wolf,

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory scored 10,

Eyes Wide Shut, 20,

Sweeney Todd, 22.

Well, thanks, Richard. So the losing pair

with the highest score is Jaime and Sue. Bad luck.

Last time, you were unlucky.

Very unlucky, just one word away

from a lovely low score.

This time you were less well suited to the category.

But, Jaime and Sue, this is where we say goodbye.

Thanks very much for playing.

It's now time for round two.

Obviously there'll only be room

for two pairs in our head-to-head,

so one pair will leave at the end of this round.

Who will it be? Andy and Heather,

lovely performance there. Very good indeed.

Gemma and Helen... Gemma - The Lake House.

Superb. Great answering from... Was it Zac? Was it Damien?

-I'll take the credit.

-Oh, OK.

You've spent your life doing that, haven't you?

-Any cliche.

-There we are. OK. Right, onto round two.

Our category for round two is...

Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

And step up to the podium.

OK. Our question concerns...

Events and their centuries, Richard.

We'll show you six different events,

you tell us in which century they occurred.

Obscure answers score fewer points, but incorrect answers score 100.

A great round for history buffs. See if you can get all 12 at home.

Thanks, Richard.

We want the centuries in which these events took place.

On our first board...

I'll read those one last time.

There we are, six events.

We want the century in which

the most obscure, to your mind, took place. Gemma.

Erm, history wouldn't be a strong point,

but I'm going to go for Queen Victoria married Prince Albert

-in the 19th century?

-Let's see if that's right.

The century in which Victoria married Albert. How many said it?

Absolutely right.

43.

-Good answer. They were cousins, of course.

-Yeah.

As was often the way then.

It was hard not to be. If they had to marry

other crowned heads of Europe.

Yeah. They were all related.

It was like the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding of its day.

Now, then, Zac.

We are looking for the centuries in which these events took place.

I think I will go for Samuel "Peppies", if that's how you say it.

You say it how you like.

-I'll go for the 18th.

-You're going for the 18th century for Pepys' diary. Let's see.

How many people said the 18th century?

No.

Incorrect, it scores you the maximum 100 points.

I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.

Now, then, Heather.

You're the last person to have this board. Talk us through it.

I would love to, Alexander!

I only know two.

The Domesday survey,

I think, was 11th century.

But I'll go for - an English fleet defeated the Spanish Armada.

-I'll say 16th century.

-The 16th century says Heather.

Let's see how many people said the 16th century.

Absolutely right.

Well done, Heather. 14.

Very well done. Great score.

Well done. 1588. They only lost four ships, the Spanish,

-and lost 55 more as they tried to escape round Scotland...

-Blown onto rocks.

Yeah, absolutely. Let's look at the rest.

Pepys' diary was 17th century,

wrote about the Great Fire of London, would've scored you 18.

The Domesday survey was 11th century, Heather - 22 points.

The spinning jenny was patented in the 18th century.

by James Hargreaves, 15 points.

And Charlemagne became king of the Franks in the 8th century.

1 point.

-Well done if you got all of them.

-Thanks, Richard.

Let's look at the scores.

14, very much the best score of that pass.

Well done, Heather. Heather and Andy looking like a strong pair.

Then up to 43, Gemma and Helen.

And up to 100 with Zac and Damien.

It's not out of reach, Damien,

if you find a brilliant answer on the next board, it may be enough.

Can the second players please come to the podium?

Six more historical events on the board. Here they come.

I'll read those one last time.

We're looking for the century. Andy, you're going to try

-and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

-OK.

-Another topic which is not a strong point.

-Well, you're on 14,

the highest scorers are Damien and Zac on 100.

An 85-point margin.

I will go for the Magna Carta signed.

-I think that was the 13th century.

-The 13th century says Andy.

Here is your red line.

Get below it, you're through to the next round.

13th century, is that right?

Absolutely right and you're through to the next round.

11.

Very well played, Andy, that takes your total up to 25.

-Brilliant.

-Well played, Andy.

The charter of English liberties, granted by King John in 1215.

A few alterations in the next ten years.

I thought you meant the next ten years from now.

-Yeah.

-What, we're amending it now?

-Yeah, they asked me to look at it.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

Good luck with that. Now, then, Damien,

you're the highest scorers on 100.

Yes. I'm equally strong on this subject.

There are, on here, a couple of fairly obvious answers.

But I can't use those.

So it's going to be a complete stab in the dark

with, erm, Martin Luther

published his 95 Theses.

I will try the, er,...

-18th century.

-The 18th century

says Damien for Martin Luther.

Let's see. No red line for you because you're the highest scorers.

Bad luck, Damien. Another incorrect answer,

scoring you the maximum 100 points, taking you up to 200. Bad luck.

Sorry, Damien. I'll give you the answer at the end of the pass.

Now, then, Helen.

The good news is you're through to the head-to-head, you're on 43.

-Take us through the board if you can.

-I can't really!

I wanna go for the St Patrick's one. My mum's gonna kill me!

But I'm gonna have a guess

and I'm going to say... the...

15th century.

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.

Ooh, bad luck, Helen.

An incorrect answer, scoring you 100 points. Doesn't matter though,

you're in the head-to-head.

Helen, you were close, if you'd gone 1,000 years earlier,

you'd've got it! The 5th century is the answer.

1 point as well, it's a good answer if anyone got it at home. Erm...

Damien, you might've been better going for an easier one

because nothing scored highly here.

Even Mussolini coming to power - the 20th century - only 39 points.

-And Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook?

-21st century.

That's impressive. 31 points,

so, again, a low scorer.

Martin Luther published his theses in the 16th century,

that would've scored 6.

And Napoleon was exiled to Elba in the 19th century, which scored 18.

Well done if anybody got all 12 of those. Terrific work.

So at the end of round two,

the losing pair with the highest score - Damien and Zac -

we come to the end of your Pointless road.

But head-to-head last time and 200 club this time!

Yeah, we've regressed!

Ah, well. And we say goodbye to your shirts as well,

-which have brought joy and colour to millions.

-Absolutely.

Damien and Zac, thanks for playing.

Things are about to get more exciting - it's the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Andy and Heather, Gemma and Helen,

one round away from the final and our jackpot,

which currently stands at...

WHOOPING

You're now going to go head-to-head. The first pair

to win two questions will play for the jackpot. You can confer.

Gemma and Helen, you are returners, but you are both...

Both pairs on virgin territory here cos you left in round one last time.

Andy and Heather... You can put your heads together now.

Anything could happen. Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.

OK, here comes your first question

and it concerns...

-GENTLE LAUGHTER

-We're gonna show you five photographs

of famous wrestlers.

We need you to give us the stage name by which they were best known.

OK, let's reveal our five wrestlers. We have got...

OK, there we are. Five wrestlers. Andy and Heather,

you've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.

THEY WHISPER

(WHISPERING) C is The Rock.

There's Big Daddy...

-We'll go with C - The Rock.

-C - The Rock.

C - The Rock, say Andy and Heather. Gemma and Helen,

-talk us through the others.

-Well, it was between C and E for us,

so we're gonna have to go with E and Hulk Hogan.

-We didn't know any others.

-Hulk Hogan you are saying - E.

The Rock and Hulk Hogan.

Andy and Heather went with The Rock, let's see how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

32.

32 for The Rock. So, Gemma and Helen, you've gone for Hulk Hogan,

for E, let's see how many people said Hulk Hogan.

Absolutely right.

51.

51 plays 32,

-which means, Andy and Heather, you're up 1-0.

-Well played,

let's look through the board. A is Andre the Giant,

perhaps best known for his role in The Princess Bride,

Rob Reiner's film, plays Fezzick. Would've scored you 8 points.

B, of course, the famous Masked Man.

-Of course.

-Kendo Nagasaki.

-Would've scored 15. You're from the Northeast, aren't you?

-Yes.

The best thing you can ask someone from the Northeast to say

-is Mick McManus and Kendo Nagasaki.

-(GEORDIE) Mick McManus.

-Kendo Nagasaki.

-LAUGHTER

-It's good, isn't it?

Kendo Nagasaki, all you had to do is go "Uhh" with his mask

and he'd go...

Have you ever read

Simon Garfield's book The Wrestling?

-No.

-He interviews everybody involved in the '70s and '80s

in British wrestling. It's just brilliant.

Talks a lot to Kendo Nagasaki. It's really, really good.

And there's an awful lot

about D - Big Daddy. Makes you proud to be British, that picture.

I love the way they wear proper old circus-strongman uniform.

And he, you'll be glad to know,

got a huge score - 70 points Big Daddy would've scored you.

-He beat Hulk Hogan and The Rock.

-But he's just got

such a benign face, Big Daddy.

-Yeah, you should read the book.

-Oh, really? Really?

-Really?

-Oh, yeah.

They're hard as nails, that lot.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Seriously?

-Yeah.

-Seriously?

-Yeah. I ain't even kidding.

-Shirley Crabtree?

-Yeah.

-Hard as nails? You'd have to be, Shirley Crabtree.

-Yeah.

-Thanks.

Second question. Gemma and Helen, you have to win this to stay in.

It concerns...

We've gonna give you five clues to facts about UK General Elections.

All this information is correct as of May 2012.

Let's reveal our five facts about UK General Elections. We have got...

There we are. Five facts. I'll read them one last time.

UK General Elections. Gemma and Helen, you go first this time.

THEY WHISPER

We're going for the time of day polling stations close

-and we're going for 10pm.

-10pm say Helen and Gemma

for the time of day they close. Andy and Heather, fill in the gaps.

I wish we could! We only knew that one and the first one.

-Thursday, the day of the week they're usually held.

-OK.

Andy and Heather say Thursday.

We have 10pm versus Thursday.

Gemma and Helen have said 10pm. Let's see how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

59.

59 for 10pm. Andy and Heather

have said Thursday, the day they're usually held.

Let's see if that's right.

It's right.

Ooh, look at that! 53!

53 for Thursday. Which means, Andy and Heather,

after only two questions, are through to the final.

Well played, Andy and Heather,

they've been on Thursday since 1931.

They had it on Tuesday then. Thursdays ever since.

The minimum voting age was the biggest score -

18 is what you have to be to vote, but 80 points it would've scored.

The number of seats at the 2010 election is 650.

That would've scored 7. They're trying to cut that by 10 per cent

for the next election. Any objections? And the current deposit

is £500.

And that would've scored 6 points, that's the best answer on the board.

Thanks. So our losing pair,

at the end of the head-to-head, Gemma and Helen, it's you.

I was surprised you were pipped on the 10pm.

If people knew what day it was, they may find it hard to think what time.

But there we are. No, you were pipped.

We have to say goodbye. But a better performance today.

It's been great to see more of you. Thanks for playing.

But now it's our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Andy and Heather, you have won our Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our jackpot, which stands at...

You were the only newcomers!

Lowest scorers in round one and in round two, 2-0 in the head-to-head.

-How are you feeling?

-Unbelievable.

-It's like a dream!

THEY LAUGH

Let's hope this dream continues.

-In your dream, what did you have in your final round?

-Erm, I had Paul Newman films.

-OK.

That could come up.

-Oh...

-They're tough, but they're quite specific.

If you know it, you're in luck.

Andy, anything you would love to see come up?

Erm, anything but film, literature or history.

You can use Heather's expertise on Paul Newman films,

-if that comes up.

-Which I have relied on through the show.

It's been a pretty good team effort. The rules are simple -

to win, you must find a pointless answer.

We haven't had any pointless answers today.

Find one now and you will go home with that £5,250.

First, choose a category. This is the tough bit. Five options -

Here they are.

American actors?

It's got to be, hasn't it? Go for it.

American actors, please.

-What will you do if it's Paul Newman?

-I will scream!

OK, let's find out what the question is.

Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many... John Malkovich films as they can...

-Richard?

-We're looking for any feature film

for which John Malkovich has received an acting credit.

No short films, TV films or documentaries -

voice performances do count. I'm sorry it wasn't Paul Newman.

-OK!

-You have one minute to come up with three answers and all you need

to win that £5,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-OK, 60 seconds on the clock.

Your time starts now.

Dangerous Liaisons,

Being John Malkovich, In The Line Of Fire.

-Anything else you can come up with?

-Erm...

That's my top three. Anything else?

Anything where he's being a bit...

I'm struggling. In The Line Of Fire I know.

Yeah, he's a psycho.

-Being John Malkovich.

-He's definitely in that.

But that probably isn't obscure enough.

Dangerous Liaisons is old, that's the only thing I'm going with.

Erm...

Three of those come to mind.

-Are you happy?

-Yep.

-OK, stop the clock.

Then, we shall. OK, John Malkovich films.

I now need your three answers.

Dangerous Liaisons, In The Line Of Fire

-and Being John Malkovich.

-Being John Malkovich.

Of those three, which do you think is your most likely to be pointless?

-I would say Dangerous Liaisons.

-OK, we'll put that last.

-And your LEAST likely?

-Being John Malkovich.

The one with his name in the title! OK, let's put that one first.

That leaves In The Line Of Fire in the middle. That's perfect.

Here they are. We have got...

So, John Malkovich films.

Being John Malkovich you thought was least likely to be pointless.

You only have to find one pointless answer out of these three

to win that jackpot of £5,250.

Being John Malkovich - how many people said it?

Well, it is right, you'll be surprised to hear.

Into the 50s, if this goes down to zero,

you leave here now with £5,250. Still going down...

Ooh!

-Almost into single figures.

-I can't believe that!

Well, I tell you what - a film with his name in the title

and only 10 of our 100 people remembered it.

Or thought he was in it.

-I mean, he's not in it much, is he?

-No.

But not a pointless answer.

Quite reassuring. Tells us a lot about what our 100 people know

about John Malkovich films. Your second answer

was In The Line Of Fire. This has to be right,

has to be pointless, for you to win that jackpot -

-£5,250. You remember the part he played in this?

-Oh, yes.

"Yah..." He's quite creepy.

OK, for £5,250, let's see how many people said In The Line Of Fire -

your second shot at the jackpot.

It's absolutely right.

Being John Malkovich took us down to 10.

In The Line Of Fire - how far down will that take us?

Single figures, if this goes down to zero...

Oh!

Whoa!

Wow.

Wow.

Down from 10 to 1. It's looking good for your third answer,

your most confident answer.

The answer you thought most likely to be pointless

was Dangerous Liaisons.

Has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

For £5,250, let's find out how many people said Dangerous Liaisons.

Is it pointless?

Well, it's right.

Being John Malkovich took us down to 10.

In The Line Of Fire took us down to 1.

Dangerous Liaisons...

Oh, 5!

APPLAUSE

Well done. You didn't find that pointless answer,

but you do take home a trophy,

-so well done.

-Thank you.

Three good answers and a good performance.

We have already done Paul Newman films

in a celebrity special. Vanessa Feltz nicked it off you,

I'm afraid. Sorry about that.

Let's look at some of the pointless answers. A few big films in here.

Beowulf would've won you the money, Changeling also.

He's in Empire Of The Sun, that would've won you the jackpot.

Of Mice And Men, Shadows And Fog, The Glass Menagerie,

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, The Killing Fields

and plays Athos in The Man In The Iron Mask.

Other pointless answers -

Jennifer 8, Mary Reilly,

Mulholland Falls, Ripley's Game, The Object Of Beauty.

Well done if you said any of those at home. Bad luck here.

-Sorry.

-Did you know any of those?

-No.

-No.

-Phew.

Well, we say goodbye to you, Andy and Heather,

but it's been wonderful having you. Done so well.

Thank you for playing.

No jackpot today so it rolls over onto the next show

when we will be playing for...

AUDIENCE WHOOPS

Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

-And from me - goodbye.

APPLAUSE
