0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the lowest scorers
0:00:27 > 0:00:29are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Now first up, we welcome Alexa and Ewan.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37How do you two know each other, Alexa?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Er, Ewan's my son, I've known him for 22 years.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43He was a pupil at the school I used to teach at,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and now he's at university.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Ewan, where are you at university?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm at Heriot-Watt University, in Edinburgh.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- And where did you used to teach, Alexa, in Edinburgh?- Yes.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- And what did you teach? - History and Modern Studies -
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- it's like politics and economics. - Wow!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Well, you've just laid your cards on the table there, Alexa.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- A teacher.- Yes.- Of history.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Yes.- Wow. Now, Ewan, what are your strengths?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm hoping we're going to have an Arnold Schwarzenegger round,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- hopefully, though probably not. - OK.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- I think probably movies, probably music.- Music and movies are good.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15A warm welcome to the pair of you, it's lovely to have you on the show.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Very, very best of luck. Next we welcome Steve and Kateline.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Now how do you know each other, Steve?- We've worked together
0:01:22 > 0:01:25in a department store, for about eight years now,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- doing various different roles. - And whereabouts is this, Kateline?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It's in Bristol. - In Bristol.- Yes.- Very good.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Kateline, what would be the dream category for you?
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- I think French language, and cooking...- What kind of cooking?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42..movies. A bit of everything. I enjoy cooking,
0:01:42 > 0:01:47I read cooking books, in places that you wouldn't imagine.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Whoa.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:54OK. Er...whooh!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Kateline, like where?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58LAUGHTER
0:01:58 > 0:01:59In the toilet, sometimes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01OK, OK, it's a good place to read.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Some people take a magazine, you know...- Quite right.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- ..but I take a cook book.- Yeah. - You just never know.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Steve, what hobbies do you have? - I enjoy researching my family tree,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and have managed to find that one of my great-great uncles
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- was actually Prime Minister of New Zealand.- Wow.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- In the late '50s, Sir Walter Nash. - There you are.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Have you been out there? - No, I hate flying!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Which is a bit of a problem if you want to go to New Zealand.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Unless you really love sailing.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29LAUGHTER
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Or swimming. - LAUGHTER
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Welcome to the show, Steve and Kateline,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37it's great to have you here. And next we welcome Dave and Jason.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38How do you two know each other?
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Er, we work together, we've worked together for about six years,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and I actually appointed him to his post, I'm his manager.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Oh dear. Jason, what is that job? - It's pensions for the NHS.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Very good indeed. Is he good, Dave?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Are you pleased with the appointment - Well, if I went back six years,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I don't know...I don't know if I would have appointed him.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- OK, Dave, what do you hope is going to come up today?- Snakes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06LAUGHTER
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- OK, all snakes? Do you keep snakes? - Venomous.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Do you keep snakes?- No I don't, my wife won't let me have any.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- You have a fascination with snakes? - I have a fascination with snakes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- But you know your breeds of snakes? Your types of snake?- Yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Where they live, how venomous they are?- Yeah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And other such things about snakes. Jason, what can you add to that?
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Er, I like Arsenal FC.- OK. - I'm looking forward to films.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Mm-hmm.- Er, music, but not politics.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Very good. Welcome to the show, it's great to have you here.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Very, very best of luck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Finally we've got Paul and Andy - how do you two know each other?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, we met through his current girlfriend,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47who's a very, very close friend of mine.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48What...CURRENT girlfriend? What...?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Eight years, it's not "current." - Eight years...current.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55His current girlfriend. And what do you like to do in your spare time?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Well, DJing is the prime hobby.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- And Andy?- DJing, prime hobby.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Do you do it together?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- No, we're on rival radio stations. - Occasionally.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11You're on rival radio stations! What kind of radio stations are they?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Er, the one I'm on is on Sky, but his is on the internet.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18LAUGHTER
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I see what you mean, yes, rival radio stations, yep.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22What sort of music do you play, Paul?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Well, it's a cross of jazz, soul, a bit of house music.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Very good. Andy?- Similar sort of stuff really, jazz funk, soul funk.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Almost identical.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35OK, so you're going to compliment each other, in the sense
0:04:35 > 0:04:37that you both have exactly the same area of expertise.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Great to have you on the show, a warm welcome,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42we'll find out more about all of you as it goes along.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45There's only one person left to introduce. He digs away
0:04:45 > 0:04:48at the goldmine of obscurity, unearthing countless little nuggets.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Hi, everyone.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54APPLAUSE
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Afternoon.- And to you.- Now a very unusual occurrence on Pointless,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- we start with four completely new pairs today.- A clean sweep.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Last show we had three returning pairs that all got knocked out,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and one new pair who went through, so, no-one coming back.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- It's quite exciting, isn't it? - Very exciting.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15It's like a rebirth. We should have rival radio shows.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Let's do it. Let's do it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19How do you do it? How do set up your internet radio?
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Just a computer. Simple as that. Plug it in.- Pay your PRS.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- You'll need a couple of records, of course.- Oh.- Ah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Mine's going to be talk-based. - Yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31LAUGHTER
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Mine's going to be facts about mountains,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36that's all my show's going to be. Facts about mountains
0:05:36 > 0:05:38and the occasional Inspiral Carpets record.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Who's not going to want to listen to that?- I'm in.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Yours will largely be Dvorak, and opera-based.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Er...no, it will be a mixture of styles.- Oh, really?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Country music, bit of accordion music, and some fiddle tunes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51LAUGHTER
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- Sounds great.- Doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Let's do a show together. Don't you think?- Seriously,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57if anyone's listening - Radio 2.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59We'd be good, wouldn't we?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Yeah, I think we should. - Yeah, it would be amazing.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Fiddle tunes, facts about mountains,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05accordion-based music, Inspiral Carpets.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Whoo.- Yeah.- It's a winner. - Absolutely right.- Done, let's do it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Let's get on with the show, anyway. This show.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yeah. That's good, that's brilliant.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Al our questions on Pointless are put to 100 people before the show.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20In order to get through to the final round,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25all our contestants need to do is find the obscure answers
0:06:25 > 0:06:27those 100 people didn't get.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Now what everyone's trying to do, of course, is to find a pointless answer
0:06:33 > 0:06:35This is an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38and each time that happens we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Nobody won our jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45so today's jackpot starts off at £6,250.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:07:03 > 0:07:06eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10OK, our first category today is...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's exploration. Can you decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15who's going to go second.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK, and our question concerns...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Explorers and their first names, Richard.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yes, on each pass we're going to give you surnames of seven
0:07:31 > 0:07:34famous explorers, all you need to do tell us the first name by which
0:07:34 > 0:07:36that are most usually known.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38If you give us a nice most obscure answer you're going to score
0:07:38 > 0:07:41fewer points, give us a incorrect answer, that will score you 100 points.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44There will be 14 explorers to have a go at, at home. Good luck.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK, thanks very much. Now Alexa and Ewan, you all drew lots
0:07:47 > 0:07:50before the show, and today you are going first.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54So, here we go, here is our first board of seven explorers, and we have got...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'll read all those one last time.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41There we are, seven famous explorers OK, so, Alexa, we are looking for
0:08:41 > 0:08:43the first names of any of these explorers.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, I know a few of them,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48but the one I'd like to go with is Amerigo Vespucci.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Amerigo Vespucci?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Amerigo Vespucci, let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people that answer.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58It's right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Very well done indeed, Alexa.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Amerigo Vespucci, scores you 12.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10APPLAUSE
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well played, Alexa, terrific answer. I can hear the disappointed groans
0:09:14 > 0:09:17of all of your pupils, even now, as you got one right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- They'll be furious, won't they? - Mmm.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Yeah, Amerigo Vespucci. America is widely considered to have been named after him.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Steve, what are you thinking?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I'm reasonably confident on two, I think I'm going to go for
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Ernest Shackleton. - Ernest Shackleton, says Steve,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100
0:09:35 > 0:09:37said Ernest Shackleton.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Absolutely right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:4731, for Ernest Shackleton.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Richard.- Yeah, born in County Clare, Ernest Shackleton, very good answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57So, remember, we're looking for the first names of these explorers.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Dave, come on, Dave.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Right, well the two I was going to say have gone.- Ahh.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04But I know another couple.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I'll try Hillary, Edmund. - Edmund Hillary, says Dave.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Edmund Hillary. Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:1768.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19APPLAUSE
0:10:19 > 0:10:2168 for Edmund Hillary.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Yes, reached the summit of Everest with Tenzing Norgay of course,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- and earned his living as a beekeeper - He was a beekeeper?- Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, there we go. I had no idea.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Erm, now then, Paul. Paul you're the last person to have this board.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Francis Drake. - Francis Drake says Paul,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40let's see if it's right, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Francis Drake.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Absolutely right.
0:10:46 > 0:10:4872 for Francis Drake.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50APPLAUSE
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yes, the Elizabethan sailor and navigator, absolutely right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Another big score, though. Let's take a look through the rest.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Columbus is obviously Christopher Columbus.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Would have scored you 87 points.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Amundsen is Roald Amundsen. Beat Captain Scott to the pole,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08that would be 19. The best answer is Flinders,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and his name was Matthew Flinders, six points.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14He was the first European to circumnavigate Australia,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17first person to work out it was a continent, very well done if you said that at home.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I tell you what, our 100 are really on it, aren't they?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Look at that.- Yeah, some good scores.- Some good scores.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I mean, Edmund Hillary, Christopher Columbus, there's some well known
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- names there though. - Yeah, but Flinders?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Six. - Six people knew Flinders, yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I had no idea. I didn't know about Flinders. I know about him now.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Of course I do.- Matt Flinders. - Yeah, Matt Flinders.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Anyway, we're halfway through the round,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:11:38 > 0:11:4112, the best score of the pass, from Alexa there.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Looking very very strong indeed, 12. Then we go up to 31, where we find
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Steve and Kateline. Then up to 68, where we find Dave and Jason.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Then up to 72, where we find Paul and Andy.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55So, Andy, you're not miles ahead, but you are the high scorers.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57So, you're going to need to find a nice low score
0:11:57 > 0:11:59to make sure you're with us after the end of this round, best of luck with that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08OK, let's put seven more famous explorers on the board
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and here they are, we've got...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I'll repeat those all one last time.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00There we are. Remember we are looking for the first name
0:13:00 > 0:13:03of these explorers, and as ever, Andy, you'll try and find the one
0:13:03 > 0:13:05you think fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You're on 72, you're the high scorers.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09We need a nice, low-scoring answer from you, Andy.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- Marco Polo. - Marco Polo says Andy straight off,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17there it is at the bottom. Marco Polo, let's see if that's right,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19let's see how many people said it. There's no red line for you, Andy,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21cos you're the high scorers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:2976.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3276 takes your total up to 148.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Yeah. Venetian merchant traveller and writer Marco Polo,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and again, it's a big score.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Now then, Jason, the high scorers on 148 are Andy and Paul.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46You are on 68 so a score of 79 or less will see you through to the next round.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50In that case, can I go for Stanley Livingstone, please.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Stanley Livingstone, says Jason, Stanley Livingstone.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57OK, here's your red line, if you get below that you are through to the next round.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Let's see if Stanley Livingstone is right. Let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Bad luck, Jason, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which scores you
0:14:09 > 0:14:12the maximum of 100 points, which takes your total up to 168.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Yeah. Sorry, Jason. He was, of course, famously discovered
0:14:15 > 0:14:19by Henry Stanley, but his first name not Stanley, I'm afraid.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It was very confidently given, though.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Now then, Kateline, you're on 31, you're through to the next round.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake the high score
0:14:29 > 0:14:33of 168, that Jason and Dave have just got. What are you thinking?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- I'm thinking, Henderson Cook. - Henderson Cook.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Henderson Cook. OK, there's no red line for you, you're already through
0:14:41 > 0:14:43to the next round, but let's see if that's right,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45let's see how many people said Henderson Cook.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Bad luck, Kateline, an incorrect answer,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54scores 100 points, takes your total up to 131,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57but you are through to the next round anyway, so it doesn't matter.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Yes, not Henderson, Kateline, I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Now then, Ewan, you're on 12.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07You're also through to the next round, no matter what you score,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10but I think, particularly with your mother standing at your side,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13you will know a few of these answers take us through the board.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think the only one I really knew was Marco Polo, to be honest...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's a really tough board this one. The first one was much easier, wasn't it?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23If only I had been taught it at school, you know.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29So, I... I think I'll go for Cook, I'll guess I'll go for Connor Cook.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Connor Cook, say Ewan. Connor Cook.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Let's hear if Connor Cook is right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Another incorrect answer, another 100 points,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44takes your total up to 112, but it couldn't matter less,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46you're through to the next round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I have to say, three wrong answers, given with such aplomb.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I know. If I wasn't here, you'd have accepted all of them.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55You'd have gone, "Yeah, OK, you sound fairly sure."
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Yeah, so not Connor Cook, I'm afraid,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- I blame the parents, or the teachers. - Mmm.- Or both.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Or both. It's not Connor Cook, it's not Henderson Cook,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08as I think everyone at home knows, it's Captain Cook.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's not really, it's James Cook,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14James Cook and that would have scored you 40 points.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Let's clear up Livingstone as well, as I say, met Stanley, but it was David Livingstone.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That would have scored 28 points.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Raleigh, is Sir Walter Raleigh, of course.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Would have scored 93 points, that is a big score.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Magellan is Ferdinand Magellan, would've scored 11.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Tasman, the first European to spy Tasmania.- Tasmania.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38It was Abel Tasman, it would have scored you seven points, a Dutchman.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And Jacques Cartier, is the best answer on that board, one point.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Very well done if you said Jacques Cartier.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of that round,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49our losing pair, with the highest score, I'm afraid is Jason and Dave.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Anyway, listen, we will see you again, next time,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and we'll look forward to it very much indeed.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Meanwhile, Jason and Dave, thanks very much for playing.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58APPLAUSE
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Well, so sadly at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I was just wondering which pair that's going to be.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14That was quite an interesting first round, actually,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Paul and Andy, you were the highest scorers at the end of it,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20but you're the only two not to score 100 points.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- That's good.- There you are, not bad at all.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26And Alexa, lovely answer from you, but Ewan.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31And Steve and Kateline, not bad, not bad, you got through,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- a sort of middling score. - Hmm.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Out category for round two is...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44who's going to go second.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55We gave 100 people, 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00..as they could, Richard.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, we're looking for any word that has its own entry
0:18:02 > 0:18:06in the Oxford Dictionary of English, that ends in the letters R-I-G-H-T.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10As always, no trademarks, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14and we won't except the word "right" itself, in case you were tempted to give that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Unusually, for one of these rounds, there's not hundreds of answers.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20See how many you can get at home, before the end of this round.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23OK, well thanks very much. Now then, Ewan, what is
0:18:23 > 0:18:28the most obscure word ending in R-I-G-H-T that you can think of?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- I'll think I'll go for "forthright". - "Forthright," says Ewan.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42He's right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4527.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:5127, for "forthright".
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Direct and outspoken in manner, forthright.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Kateline. - Erm, "alright".
0:18:56 > 0:19:00"Alright". "Alright", let's see if that's right,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02let's see how many of our 100 said "alright".
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It's right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:1135.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13APPLAUSE
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Yes, it's just at the end of the 19th century they turned "all right"
0:19:19 > 0:19:23into "alright". Some people still think you shouldn't use it,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26but it's perfectly acceptable, it's like "altogether",
0:19:26 > 0:19:29which used to be "all together", exactly the same process.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Dropping an "L" in both cases. - Dropping an "L", and merging.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- What did they do with that "L"? - The "L"?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- They're just in the British Library. - Are they?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Yeah, there's a room full of them, you can go see them if you want.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41- I should like to do that. - If you go into the lift at
0:19:41 > 0:19:44the British Library, press the button marked "L",
0:19:44 > 0:19:50- that'll take you to the "L Room". - Very good.- You know what shape the room is?- No.- Square.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53LAUGHTER
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Now then, Paul.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Let's have a nice, low-scoring obscure word ending in R-I-G-H-T.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Let's say "buyright".
0:20:04 > 0:20:09"Buyright," says Paul. "Buyright". Let's see if that's right,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said "buyright".
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yeah, bad luck Paul, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22which means you score the maximum of 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, sorry, Paul, not in the dictionary, there's "Byrite"
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- the trademark, B-Y-R-I-T-E. - Mister Byrite?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Mister Byrite, absolutely, but no... - What happened to Mrs Byrite?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- They divorced.- Oh, really? Decree nisi, really, I had no idea.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- Yes, she's now Mrs Rymans.- Ah.- Yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Wow.- What do you think about that? - Wow.- Yeah.- Woah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Yeah, it was quite a scandal. - She didn't hang around, did she?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Nothing "stationary" about her.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47LAUGHTER AND GROANS
0:20:48 > 0:20:51OK, now then, now then, we're half way through the round,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55let's take a look at the scores. 27, Ewan scored there.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Your mother will be pleased with that, lowest score of the pass.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Then we go up to 35, where we find Kateline and Steve.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Then up to 100, where we find Paul and Andy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07You're a long way ahead, Andy, this is going to require
0:21:07 > 0:21:11something pretty miraculous, but not least of all a very very low score
0:21:11 > 0:21:13from you in the second pass, so good luck with that.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23OK, so we're looking for words ending in R-I-G-H-T.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Andy, you're the high scorers, on a 100.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'm going to have to gamble here, "enfright".
0:21:30 > 0:21:35"Enfright", I like what you're doing there, "enfright".
0:21:35 > 0:21:37No red line for you, you are the highest scorers, you just have to hope
0:21:37 > 0:21:40this goes down as far as it possibly can. "Enfright", is it right?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42How many people said it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Bad luck, Andy, another incorrect answer, which I'm afraid takes
0:21:48 > 0:21:50your total up to 200.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Sorry, Andy, a valiant effort, you did what Xander always suggests,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56which is put those little words on the front of more common words,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58often works, but not on this occasion, I'm afraid.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Now then, Steve, good news, you're through to the next round.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Let's have a brilliant answer from you, a nice low score.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'll have a gamble, because we are through, I'm going to go
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- "overfright".- "Overfright," says Steve, let's see if that's right,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15let's see how many people said "overfright".
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You were taking a bit of a punt, you wouldn't have said that
0:22:21 > 0:22:23if your survival in the game depended on it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26But it turns out "overfright" an incorrect word,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29but we've all learned something, that scores you 100 points,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31takes your total up to 135.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Quite enjoying a round of everybody adding something to the beginning of fright
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- to see if they can get a pointless answer.- Yeah.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Alexa, again you're through to the next round,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42you're already in the head to head, but let's have some fun,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44let's see if you can find a really nice obscure word
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- ending R-I-G-H-T. - Erm, "wheelwright".
0:22:47 > 0:22:52OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is, see how many of our 100 said "wheelwright".
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It's right.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0112.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03APPLAUSE
0:23:03 > 0:23:0712 for "wheelwright", takes your total up to 39.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Very well played, Alexa, someone who makes or mends wooden wheels.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Er, there's actually quite a few of those job titles ones
0:23:14 > 0:23:15on the list here, none of them pointless.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18But you could have had, I mean "right" itself, would have scored you
0:23:18 > 0:23:2116 points, "shipwright" 7, "wainwright" 6,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25"playwright" five, "cartwright" would have scored you three points.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So, all those would have been good answers. Now, we had "enfright",
0:23:28 > 0:23:30and "overfright".
0:23:30 > 0:23:32There's only two pointless answers on this whole list,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36the first one of which, to scare someone "affright".
0:23:36 > 0:23:39To affright, so if we had played all day someone would have eventually
0:23:39 > 0:23:41stumbled across it, I suspect.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And "millwright" is the other pointless answer there.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46A couple of very low scorers, could have had "eyebright",
0:23:46 > 0:23:48which is a type of flower, that would have been two points.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53And "a'right" rather than "alright", would have scored you two as well.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Let's take a look at the most popular answers, the ones
0:23:55 > 0:23:57that most of our 100 people said.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01"Alright" 35, actually the third biggest scorer of all.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04"Fright" with 53.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09And right at the top, "bright" with a very big score of 70, up there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And there were a couple of others you could have had, "upright",
0:24:12 > 0:24:15"outright", "birthright", "copyright", "downright".
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Wow, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So, at the end of Round Two, are losing pair, with the highest score,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I'm afraid Andy and Paul, are newest members of the 200 club.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Anyway, very very well done, Andy and Paul, it's been lovely
0:24:26 > 0:24:28having you on the show, we'll have you again next time,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- and look forward to that very much. - Thank you.- Cheers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32APPLAUSE
0:24:32 > 0:24:34But for the remaining two pairs, the things are about to get
0:24:34 > 0:24:36more exciting, as we enter the Head To Head.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38APPLAUSE
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Well, congratulations Alexa and Ewan Steve and Kateline,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47you're now only one round away from our final,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:24:51 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So, you're now going to go Head To Head, the first pair
0:24:57 > 0:25:00to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03but the big news is that you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05This makes all the difference in the world.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Anyway, best of luck to both pairs, let's play the Head To Head.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Famous brides, Richard.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Mmm, we're going to show you five pictures now, of famous couples
0:25:23 > 0:25:27on their wedding day, but in each case we've obscured the face of the bride.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- With a veil?- In a celebrity stalker type way.- Oh, I see.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Yeah. Can you name the bride, in question?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36And we need the name of the bride before she got married, please.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40So, the name of the bride before she got married to the groom.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44OK, thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five famous brides,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and here they come, we have got...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01LAUGHTER
0:26:01 > 0:26:05OK, there we are, five famous brides Now, Alexa and Ewan,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08you've played best, throughout the show, so far, so you get to go first
0:26:08 > 0:26:10WHISPERING
0:26:14 > 0:26:17We'll go for D, and it's Nancy Shriver.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Nancy Shriver, D, say Alexa and Ewan, Nancy Shriver.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Steve and Kateline.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- You can talk us through the board. if you want.- We'll go for A,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Grace Kelly. - Grace Kelly, you are saying for A.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35OK, so we have Nancy Shriver, and we have Grace Kelly.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Alexa and Ewan said Nancy Shriver, for D, let's see if that's right,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Ooh, bad luck. Bad luck, an incorrect answer.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51We will discover why shortly.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Steve and Kateline, you have said that A is Grace Kelly.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59A, Grace Kelly, let's see if that's right, which is all it has to be at this stage.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Absolutely right.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Oh, it's a low score, look at that, down it goes, 11.
0:27:08 > 0:27:1111 for Grace Kelly, very well done, indeed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14All it had to be, in the circumstances, was right,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and it was that, which means Steve and Kateline, you are up 1-0,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- after one question. Richard. - Yeah, good answer, Steve and Kateline,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24of course that's Grace Kelly, marrying Prince Rainier of Monaco, in 1956.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27You weren't a million miles away with Nancy Shriver, absolutely thinking
0:27:27 > 0:27:30on the right lines. Nancy Shevell is the name of the lady
0:27:30 > 0:27:33marrying Sir Paul McCartney, would have scored you three points as well.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Would have been the best answer on the board.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Tough luck. B was Katie Holmes, marrying Tom Cruise.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43That would have scored you, 38 points.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48C is Kate Moss, marrying Jamie Hince, in 2011.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That would have scored 17.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And right at the end, Catherine Middleton, believe it or not,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57marrying Prince William, that would have scored 68 points. Wow.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00A lot of people couldn't name her. There were 2 billion people watching that wedding.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Thanks very much, here comes your second question, Alexa and Ewan,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05you have to win this one to stay in the game, best of luck.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It concerns...
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Agatha Christie novels, Richard.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14For this question we're going to show the names of five
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Agatha Christie novels, but we've left the last word of each one blank.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Can you fill in those blanks and find the most obscure answer?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23OK, let's reveal our five Agatha Christie novels, and here they come,
0:28:23 > 0:28:24we have got...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I'll read those one last time.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45There we are, five Agatha Christie stories,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Steve and Kateline, you go first, this time.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I think we're going to say, "Cat Among The Pigeons".
0:28:50 > 0:28:54"Cat Among The Pigeons", say Steve and Kateline.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Alexa And Ewan, talk us through all of the answers.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I'm afraid this isn't the strength of ours, by any means.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05We're going to go "Evil Under The Sun", but I don't know if that's right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06"Evil Under The Sun," say Alexa and Ewan.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10So we have "Cat Among The Pigeons" and "Evil Under The Sun".
0:29:10 > 0:29:13This is the one you have to win, Alexa and Ewan, to stay in the game.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16In the order they were given, "Cat Among The Pigeons", let's see
0:29:16 > 0:29:20if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said "Cat Among The Pigeons".
0:29:24 > 0:29:2668. It was right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29APPLAUSE
0:29:30 > 0:29:34And it scored 68, so, Alexa and Ewan you have to be correct
0:29:34 > 0:29:38with "Evil Under The Sun", if it is correct it has to be 68.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Best of luck. Is it right? How many people said "Evil Under The Sun"?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's right,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48and it beats 68, very well done.
0:29:49 > 0:29:5238.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Absolutely what you had to do there, Alexa and Ewan,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59very well done indeed. After two questions it's one all, Richard.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Yeah, both of those Hercule Poirot novels, "Evil Under The Sun" filmed
0:30:02 > 0:30:06with Peter Ustinov and Diana Rigg. The other three are all Miss Marple stories,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- "4.50 From..."- "Paddington." - "..Paddington", absolutely right.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- That would have scored 26. "A Murder Is..."- "Announced".
0:30:13 > 0:30:16"Announced", that is absolutely right, that would have scored 23.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- And "The Body In The..." - "Library".- Also correct,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22and that's the answer there, that would have scored 22 points.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- You've appeared in a Marple. - I was in "A Murder Is Announced",
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- in fact.- Were you?- Yeah.- I bet you were terrific.- I was the Inspector.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- You were the inspector? - Yeah.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- You'd be a good inspector, I can see that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35You've got like an air of gravitas, but also some charm,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- superficial charm, but it is charm. - Yeah, yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- You know here you'd be a good copper. - There we are, "A Murder Is Announced".
0:30:41 > 0:30:44OK, well thanks very much indeed, here comes your third question.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Whoever wins this question, goes through to the final,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50and plays for that massive jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Our third question concerns...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Manchester United, Richard. - Sorry for this deciding question,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01one of those categories people kill for, in some shows.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04We're simply going to show you five questions, which lead to facts
0:31:04 > 0:31:07about Manchester United. Can you give us the most obscure answer here?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Very best of luck to both teams.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Man United,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14and here they come, we have got...
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46There we are, five clues to facts about Manchester United.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Now then, Alexa and Ewan, you go first.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Any idea?- Erm, we know nothing about football,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- nothing about Manchester United. - But, Ewan I thought this was where
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- you came in. - Ah, well, I don't play football.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59And I'm not English, so, I don't know.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- OK.- So, we're going to take a total guess.
0:32:02 > 0:32:09- The year they won the premiership, erm, 1998?- Yeah, go on then.
0:32:09 > 0:32:121998, say Alexa and Ewan, 1998.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Steve and Kateline, you can talk us through the board.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- You can supply all these answers, if you like.- Oh, if you like.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Name given to the young team of the fifties was, "Busby's Babes".
0:32:20 > 0:32:22The present ground is "Old Trafford"
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I could take a punt on the name of the club when they were founded.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- What would your punt be? - My punt would be "Newton Heath".
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- OK.- But I think would like to answer the same,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36the year they won the Premiership, FA Cup, if I'm allowed to do that?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Yep. - That was 1999.
0:32:38 > 0:32:401999, says Steve.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44So, Alexa and Ewan are saying 1998, let's see if that's right,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Bad luck, Alexa and Ewan. Certainly Steve gave that answer
0:32:53 > 0:32:56authoritatively, let's see if it is indeed right, at this stage
0:32:56 > 0:32:59all it has to be is right, and Steve and Kateline will go through
0:32:59 > 0:33:02to the final. Is it right? 1999.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Absolutely right, very well done, Steve and Kateline.
0:33:10 > 0:33:1312.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Great answer, great result.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Steve and Kateline, after three questions, you're through
0:33:18 > 0:33:20to the final, 2-1.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Very well played, Steve. They sealed that treble beating Bayern Munich
0:33:22 > 0:33:26with two very late goals, in the Champion's League Final.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28You did very well on the others as well, actually. The name of
0:33:28 > 0:33:30their present ground, absolutely is "Old Trafford".
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Would have scored 50 points though, I thought it would have scored more than that.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35The name given to the young team, the "Busby Babes".
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Would have scored 35.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40You're right about the name of the club as well,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43it was "Newton Heath". Actually "Newton Heath LYR FC",
0:33:43 > 0:33:46the LYR standing for Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48But I'd have taken Newton Heath, would have scored you six points.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Would have been a terrific answer. And the name of their
0:33:51 > 0:33:54number one single, they recorded it with Status Quo,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56it was "Come On You Reds". That would have scored two points,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58so that's the best answer on that board, very well done,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00if you had said that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of
0:34:03 > 0:34:05the Head To Head is Alexa and Ewan.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Well that was tough, English football.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Mind you only, you're only one year out, your reasoning wasn't bad.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- It was a good guess. - A very good guess indeed.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17All the more painful for being so close, but so wrong.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20But anyway we'll see you again next time, you performed so well
0:34:20 > 0:34:23throughout the show, I'm sure you'll do just as well next time.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Maybe even better, look forward to that very much indeed,
0:34:26 > 0:34:31meanwhile thanks very much for playing, Alexa and Ewan.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34But for Steve and Kateline, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Congratulations, Steve and Kateline, you fought off all the competition,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44and you've won our coveted Pointless Trophy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52You now have a chance to win our Pointless Jackpot,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:34:55 > 0:34:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:00 > 0:35:04You've done so well to end up here, you've played a nice steady game,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07and we've tested you pretty hard, I mean there's not much
0:35:07 > 0:35:10we've left off, I think. You happy with your progress, Kateline?
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Yes, actually, very happy. - Justly proud.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Well, let's hope you can make it through the next round,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18now the rules are very very simple, all you have to do to win that money
0:35:18 > 0:35:20is to find a pointless answer.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24you only have to find one now, and you will leave with
0:35:24 > 0:35:27that £6,250 jackpot.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29First you've got to find a category.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33You have a choice of five, you can make you choice from these options..
0:35:40 > 0:35:43THEY CONFER
0:35:43 > 0:35:45It's as good as anything up there, for me.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Contemporary Artist or Hollywood Actresses?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Try Hollywood Actresses? - Let's try Hollywood Actresses.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Hollywood Actresses, please. - Hollywood Actresses it is,
0:35:54 > 0:35:59OK, here it is, we gave 100 people, 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:00 > 0:36:02..as they could.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Richard.- Yes, we're looking for any feature film, made for cinema release
0:36:05 > 0:36:08to the beginning of May 2012, please, for which Gwyneth Paltrow has
0:36:08 > 0:36:11received an acting credit, as always no TV films, short films,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14or documentaries, but voice performances do count,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- very very best of luck. - OK, you now have up to one minute
0:36:17 > 0:36:19to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:19 > 0:36:23of £6,250, is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Are you ready? - Yes.- Ready.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Let's put 60 seconds on the clock, there they are, your time starts now
0:36:29 > 0:36:33I know "Sliding Doors". "Shakespeare In Love".
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- "Shakespeare In Love", yeah. - And that one with Michael Douglas
0:36:36 > 0:36:39when she was er... you know when erm...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42He wanted her to get killed for the insurance money,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- what was that again. - You're on your own with that one.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- OK, and we need another one, don't we.- Yeah.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52"Iron Man", that will do, the most recent one.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Well we could try.- Yeah, "Iron Man", did she do two of them?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Yes, there were two. - We'll go for "Iron Man".
0:36:58 > 0:37:00"Shakespeare In Love", and "Sliding Doors".
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Gosh.- Can you think what that was, Michael Douglas?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07I watched that recently, I can't remember the name.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Michael Douglas was the husband, and she was having an affair
0:37:12 > 0:37:18with a guy... Ahh. Wall Street...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Ten seconds left.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Let's go for "Sliding Doors", "Shakespeare In Love" and "Iron Man"
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Yeah.- OK.- OK, you're happy with your three choices?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Yes.- There we are, your time is now up.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33We we're looking for Gwyneth Paltrow films, I now need your three answers
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- "Sliding Doors". - "Sliding Doors".
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- "Shakespeare In Love". - "Shakespeare In Love".
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- "Iron Man". - And "Iron Man".
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Of those three, which do you reckon is your best
0:37:41 > 0:37:43shot at a pointless answer.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46"Sliding Doors". "Sliding Doors" we'll put third.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Which is your least likely point? - Probably "Iron Man".
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- "Iron Man".- OK, "Iron Man". - Because it's so recent.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53We'll put that up first then.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55OK, let's put those up on the board in that order,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57and here they are, we have got...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04OK, so we were looking for Gwyneth Paltrow films.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08"Iron Man", you said was your confident shot at a pointless answer
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You only need one of these answers to be pointless,
0:38:10 > 0:38:14remember, to win that £6,250, so let's see,
0:38:14 > 0:38:18for that jackpot, how many people said "Iron Man", is it right.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23It's absolutely right.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Let's see how much our 100 people know about Gwyneth Paltrow films,
0:38:28 > 0:38:31it's going down into the 20s, down into the teens.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Into single figures, still going down, six.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37APPLAUSE
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Oh, this is good. Now "Iron Man", you had no hesitation putting
0:38:44 > 0:38:46as your least confident shot, at a pointless answer,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48and only six people knew it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51I'd say we could draw quite a lot of confidence from that.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Unfortunately it's not a pointless answer,
0:38:53 > 0:38:56you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Kateline, what would you do with £6,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03There's a big birthday coming, so I'm thinking
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- a trip to South Africa, so... - Very good indeed.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Some of it will go towards that. - Wonderful. Steve, how about you?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Well, I have a morbid fear of flying with that I could possibly
0:39:14 > 0:39:18have lessons to overcome that, and then fly to New Zealand.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20With that you could probably become a pilot.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22There you are.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25OK, well very very best of luck, let's hope that one of your two
0:39:25 > 0:39:27remaining answers will win that jackpot for you.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29We're looking for Gwyneth Paltrow films, let's hope that nobody
0:39:29 > 0:39:32said your next answer, "Shakespeare In Love".
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Remember it has to be correct, it has to be pointless, for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39So, for £6,250, let's see how many people said "Shakespeare In Love".
0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's right.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Now your first answer, "Iron Man", went all the way down to six.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50This is your second answer, your second shot at that jackpot
0:39:50 > 0:39:54of £6,250, if this goes down to zero, you need... Ooh!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Six again.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Everything is now riding on "Sliding Doors".
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You have to hope it goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:12 > 0:40:16and if it does that you will leave here with £6,250.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18We're looking for Gwyneth Paltrow films. You said that this was your
0:40:18 > 0:40:21most confident answer, let's find out if it is pointless.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23How many people said "Sliding Doors"
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Well, it's also right, as you're first two answers have been,
0:40:32 > 0:40:36although "Iron Man" and "Shakespeare In Love" both stopped on six.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Where will "Sliding Doors" stop?
0:40:38 > 0:40:4213.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Wow. Well, unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all important
0:40:49 > 0:40:52pointless answer, but you do still get to take home
0:40:52 > 0:40:54our Pointless Trophy, so very very well done indeed for that.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Thank you.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It's actually one of the biggest scorers of all on the whole list
0:41:03 > 0:41:05actually, "Sliding Doors", which is testament to it, I think.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Erm, you mentioned "Iron Man 2", at one point, that would have been a
0:41:08 > 0:41:10better answer than "Iron Man", but it wouldn't have been pointless,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12would have scored you four points.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But Kateline, I was just listening to you talking about this
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Michael Douglas film. - Yes, saw it recently too.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Yeah, you've gone through the whole plot of one of the pointless answers
0:41:21 > 0:41:23on this board.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- That's "A Perfect Murder". - "A Perfect Murder". Oh no.- Yeah.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30It's a remake of the Hitchcock "Dial M For Murder".
0:41:30 > 0:41:32That's right I saw it just recently, yeah.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Would have won you the money, I'm afraid, so that's very tough luck.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Let's take a look at some other pointless answers.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Maybe some more you recognise.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41There's "A Perfect Murder". "Duets", where she was directed by
0:41:41 > 0:41:43her father Bruce Paltrow.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46"Hook", she plays the young Wendy Darling in that.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48"Infamous", a Truman Capote film.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50She was in "Proof" with Anthony Hopkins.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53The big sci-fi movie, "Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow",
0:41:53 > 0:41:55that she starred in with Jude Law, that would have been
0:41:55 > 0:41:57a pointless answer.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59"Sylvia", where she played Sylvia Plath.
