0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show where the aim is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34To do that, you need to come up with answers no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now, first up, we welcome back Dave and Jason
0:00:40 > 0:00:42who were on the show last time.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47This is your second and final chance.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Dave, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- We're twins. - LAUGHTER
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- We actually work together.- And where do you work together, Jason?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- We work in Birmingham for the NHS, doing pensions.- Very good.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01What happened last time, Dave?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Explorers, they were our nemesis.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Yes, that was quite a tough one, wasn't it?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- It was Round One last time, wasn't it?- It was.- Unfortunately.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We'll put that behind us. Jason, what do you hope comes up today?
0:01:13 > 0:01:20- I'm hoping sport, films... - Films.- Geography, places.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Are you good at remembering things about films or do you just like watching them?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I like watching them, but I try and remember as much as I can,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so, you know, people's first films, who directed the film, that kind of thing.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Good. This is priceless Pointless stuff.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Dave, what do you hope comes up?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37'60s and '70s music, I think that's...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Football.- Football, good.- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Anything you hope doesn't come up?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Politics, the arts.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48The arts, generally.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Very good to have you back on the show. It was Round One last time.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55We hope for a lot more today. Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And next we welcome back Alexa and Ewan who were also on the show last time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Remind us how you know each other.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Ewan's my son and I have known him for 22 years.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I was going to say twins. - Twins, no, we're not twins.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Ewan, what happened last time?- Well, we got through to the Head-to-head. - You did really well.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17We did, and then we got a football question, and it's not our forte.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So, what are you hoping to see come up today, Alexa?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22The opposite of what the previous couple have just said -
0:02:22 > 0:02:26politics and the arts, literature, anything in that vein would be fine.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- But sport, no. No good. - Best of luck with that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, on to our next pair, Paul and Andy, also on the show last time.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- It's like a sort of reunion this. - Nice, isn't it?- Yeah, really nice.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Paul and Andy. Last time it was Round Two for you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- Yes.- Yes.- Words.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We'll put that behind us. Paul, what do you hope comes up today?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I'm a bit like these two guys here, sports and films, maybe some music.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Andy?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Music, film, sport. Pretty similar. - In a different order, OK.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Very, best of luck to you. Great to have you back on the show.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03And finally, we welcome some new people. We have Judith and Alastair.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04How do you to know each other?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- He's my eldest son, so I've known him for 25 years.- 25 years.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So we have two mother and son compositions.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12This is very exciting indeed. Where are you from, Judith?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We're from Suffolk.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- And what do you do there, Judith? - I run a village post office.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Good for you.- A dying breed. - Absolutely.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Hardly any of those around.- No. - Alastair, how about you, what do you do?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I run a farm shop in Suffolk as well.- A farm shop?- Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28How did you get into that?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31About three years ago, I came out of university not knowing what to do.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- With a degree in...? - With a degree in philosophy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- In philosophy, there you are. - Which is very relevant.- Makes sense.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- And yeah, took this job on and have been doing it for three years now. - Can I ask a question, Alastair?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46If you've got a degree in philosophy and you run a farm shop,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48which came first, the chicken or the egg?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Ooh-ho-ho! - I'll come back to you on that one.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56How is that going to feed into Pointless knowledge, I wonder?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Some sort of questions on meat, I hope, possibly.- Joints of meat?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Of course, I don't know how many there are.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Possibly a bit of philosophy, cars, bit of music.- Cars.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Something like that, yeah. - Excellent.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Judith, what's going to be good for you?- Probably not much.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Behind the screen in the post office, I can think. I must admit,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15without my pen and paper and computer by me,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I want to go and sit over there. I think I can answer questions then.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24If you were sitting over here, you'd be able to answer the questions. LAUGHTER
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Well, welcome to Pointless, Judith and Alastair.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's great to have you here. Very best of luck.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38He's got his trivia Speedos on and is ready to dive into the swimming pool of obscurity.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Figuratively. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Afternoon.- And to you.- We have three returning pairs today, as you say,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53so it feels familiar to the last show, doesn't it?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Very nice.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Last show on podium one and two, we had our head-to-head pair
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and we had our pair who got knocked out in the first round.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04That might reverse on today's show now I look at Round One.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08When I look at Round One, I think it is going to be very, very good for Dave and Jason.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I don't think Alexa and Ewan are going to be delighted.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14But if they can get through it, Round Two, quite highbrow.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- I say highbrow, difficult, really, I mean.- OK. Very good.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20We look forward to that.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25To get to the final round and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29our contestants need to find the obscure answers our 100 people couldn't think of.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34The fewer people who knew the answer, the fewer points you score. Now, what everyone is trying to do
0:05:34 > 0:05:37is to find a pointless answer. This is an answer that no-one gave.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Nobody won last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55APPLAUSE
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and you can't confer. Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:06:04 > 0:06:07will be eliminated, so make sure that is not you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09OK, our category for Round One is...
0:06:11 > 0:06:12LAUGHTER
0:06:12 > 0:06:16It's football. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19who's going to go second.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25OK, our question concerns...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32European Football League Champions, Richard.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34In a moment, Xander will show you a board showing six top-flight
0:06:34 > 0:06:37football leagues in Europe and the countries they're in.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42We need you to tell us any team that has won any of those leagues at any time
0:06:42 > 0:06:44from the 1999-2000 season
0:06:44 > 0:06:47all the way through to the end of the 2010-2011 season.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53So, any team who has won any of these leagues since the 1999-2000 season. Very, very best of luck.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58OK. Jason and Dave, you drew lots before the show,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00and today, you're going to go first.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm going to reveal our six European football leagues, and here they are.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04We've got...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35You must name any team that has won any of these leagues since 2000.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Now, that board will stay up the whole way through the round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Now then, Jason.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Right, OK, I think I know most of those.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51So, can I go for the Netherlands league and Ajax.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Ajax, says Jason. Ajax.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Let's see if that's right, and if so, let's see how many said Ajax.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It's right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:0714.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- APPLAUSE - Not bad at all.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Yeah, Ajax have won that league three times in the timescale we're looking at.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Now then, Ewan.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Any team that has won any of these leagues.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I suppose I'll do Scottish Premier League.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'll go for Glasgow Rangers.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Glasgow Rangers, says Ewan.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Let's see if it's right, how many people said it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Absolutely right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:4041.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43APPLAUSE
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- 41.- Yeah, they won the top flight in Scotland for the 54th time in 2011,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52which is more than any other team in any other league in the world.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Paul, we want any teams that have won these leagues since 2000.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I'll keep it scandal then and I'll go Serie A, AC Milan.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03AC Milan, Serie A, says Paul.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:1521.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- 21 for AC Milan. - Yeah, good answer, Paul.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27They won it in 2004 and 2011 as well. 17th and 18th titles respectively.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30They call Serie A La Scudetto, which means "little shield".
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Why is that?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Why? Because you win a little shield if you win it.- I see! Fair enough.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37LAUGHTER
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- OK.- Just to remind all teams that you can still go for other Italian teams or other Dutch teams.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- It's anyone who has won any of these leagues throughout the whole round. - OK, now then, Alastair.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Football isn't my strongest area,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54but I'm going to go for Ligue 1, France, and Paris Saint-Germain.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57OK, Paris Saint-Germain, says Alastair.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 said it if it is.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03GROANING
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Bad luck, Alastair, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:10:06 > 0:10:08which means you score the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12That's very unlucky, Alastair. That's a perfectly good guess.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16They're free-spending at the moment, so they'll win it again soon, but haven't won it since 1994.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Now then, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Let's take a look at the scores. 14, the lowest of the pass.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Very well done there, Jason.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Jason and Dave looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Then we travel up to 21 where we find Paul and Andy,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32up to 41 where we find Ewan and Alexa.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And then to our high-scorers at the moment, Alastair and Judith.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So, Judith, we need a brilliant low score from you,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and we have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, we're looking for teams that have won these
0:10:49 > 0:10:53European football leagues since 2000. Judith, you're the high-scorers on 100.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Hmm. Going to try this one.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Bundesliga, Germany, Borussia Dortmund.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Borussia Dortmund, says Judith.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Let's hope Borussia Dortmund is right and it takes you way down the column.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Let's see. Borussia Dortmund.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Very well done.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Very well done indeed. Best score of the round, Judith.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22APPLAUSE
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Let's hope that's enough to keep you in a game. Brilliant answer. - Well played, Judith.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30They won in 2002 and they won their fifth title in 2012 as well,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Borussia Dortmund.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Andy, the high-scorers are Judith and Alastair on 107, you're on 21.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40If you can score 85 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45I'm going to go for Netherlands, and I'm going to say FC Twente.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48FC Twente, for the Netherlands, says Andy. Here's your red line.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Nice and high.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Let's see if FC Twente can get you below the line.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56FC Twente, is it right, how many of our 100 said it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It's right. And you're through.
0:12:06 > 0:12:074.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09APPLAUSE
0:12:09 > 0:12:124, our new lowest score of the round, takes you to 25.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Very well done, Andy. - Well done, Andy.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16FC Twente won their first Dutch title in 2010,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and I think a lot of English football fans knew about it
0:12:19 > 0:12:22cos Steve McClaren was their manager.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Who knew he could manage?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Now then, Alexa, the high-scorers are Judith and Alastair on 107,
0:12:28 > 0:12:29you're on 41.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32If you can score 65 or less,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35you will make it through to the next round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39What do you think are your chances of doing that?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I think my chances are slim, but I'm going to try PSV Eindhoven.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43There is your red line.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47If you can get below that red line, you're through to the next round. Very best of luck.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49How many of our 100 said that, is it right?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It is right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56You're through to the next round. Very, very well done indeed, Alexa.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59That's a great answer, 8. Third-lowest score of the round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03APPLAUSE
0:13:03 > 0:13:0549 is your total now.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Yeah, they won it seven times in the period we're looking at,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11including four years in a row, so it's a terrific answer. Very well played.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13And now we come to you, Dave.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16We want any teams that have won these leagues since 2000.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Have you had all your answers nicked by other people?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25No, one or two there. I don't know whether to take a chance...
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- You can talk us through the board if you like.- ..or play it safe.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31I'd go for...
0:13:31 > 0:13:32I'm going to take a chance.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - I'll say Bundesliga, Wolfsburg.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Wolfsburg, says Dave, in the Bundesliga.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Here is your red line, lovely and high.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Let's see if Wolfsburg will get you through to the next round.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49How many of our 100 said it, is it right? Wolfsburg.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's right, and you're through.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Lowest score of the round so far is 4.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Till now! 3.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- There we are, Dave, well done. - APPLAUSE
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Takes your total to 17, the lowest total of the round.- Well done, Dave.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11They won the Bundesliga in 2009. There's a few pointless answers.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Let's take a look at some of those.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17FC Nantes, they won the French title in 2001.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Stuttgart would have been pointless. Won the Bundesliga in Germany in 2007.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Deportivo de La Coruna won the Spanish league in the year 2000.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And the only other one, Bordeaux, who won the French league in 2009.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Very well done if you said that.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Let's take a look at the most popular answers.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38These are the ones that most of our 100 said. The most familiar names.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Rangers, 41. It's actually the third-highest scorer.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Oh, they won't like that, will they?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51And right up the top, Barcelona, 42. Actually scored the same as Celtic,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54so a 42-all draw between Barcelona and Celtic.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So at the end of our first round our losing pair with the highest score,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02it's Judith and Alastair. Great answer from you, Judith.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And Alastair, you were doing the right thing -
0:15:04 > 0:15:06it was just wrong.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- I'm going to get a lot of stick from my brother.- I think that's unlucky -
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I think Paris Saint-Germain not winning at any time in that... is quite surprising.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Quite surprising. Yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You'll be back next time, and we'll have much better questions for you,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I can only apologise for this football question.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25We'll see you again next time, look forward to it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Meanwhile, thanks very much, Judith and Alastair.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44so one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Hard to work out who that's going to be.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Dave and Jason - very low score there.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Alexa and Ewan, through you came.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57But Ewan, your mum knows more about football than you do.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I think he takes the lack of football knowledge from his father.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I did play it in primary school. I was the worst player in the B team.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- The worst player in the B team! How many teams were there?- Two.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Ah, well. There we are.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Best of luck to all three pairs, our category for Round Two is...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Elements of the Periodic Table. Richard.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35This is for anyone who got overconfident naming
0:16:35 > 0:16:37winners of the Dutch league, elements of the periodic table.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42On each pass we'll show descriptions of six elements from the periodic table along with their atomic number.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Can you tell us what the element is, please? A nice obscure answer will score you fewer points,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49but as always 100 points for an incorrect answer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52There's going to be 12 elements in all to have a go at at home.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57So we are looking for the chemical elements described by these clues, and we have got...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Metal that is liquid at room temperature, 80.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Conventionally the first element in the periodic table, 1.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Found in heads of non-safety matches, 15.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10When compressed this can make a diamond, 6.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Major element in the mineral part of bones, 20.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Used in filaments of old-style lightbulbs, 74.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'll read those one last time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Metal that is liquid at room temperature, 80.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Conventionally the first element of the periodic table, 1.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Found in heads of non-safety matches, 15.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31When compressed, this can make a diamond, 6.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Major element in the mineral part of bones, 20.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38And used in filaments of old-style lightbulbs, 74. There we are.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Six clues to six chemical elements.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Jason, you are going to go first.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Erm, I know a few of those.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Can I go for "When compressed, this can make a diamond",
0:17:52 > 0:17:53and go for carbon.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Carbon, says Jason, for element number 6 - "When compressed this can make a diamond".
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:1353 for carbon.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Given rise to an entire branch of chemistry all of its own, organic chemistry.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The study of carbon in its many forms.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Now then, Alexa.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I think I know three of them.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'll go for "Found on the heads of non-safety matches",
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and that's sulphur.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Sulphur, says Alexa, "Found in the heads of non-safety matches".
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Oh! - GROANING
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Bad luck, Alexa. An incorrect answer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50That goes you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Judging by the sounds from the audience,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I think a lot of people said the same thing as well.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'll give you the right answer at the end of the pass.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Paul, we are looking for the chemical elements
0:19:01 > 0:19:03suggested by these clues.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You're the last person to have this board so you can talk us through it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I wish I could!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I'll go for the metal that is the liquid at room temperature and say mercury.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14"Metal that is liquid at room temperature" - mercury, says Paul.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Let's see if that's right and how many people said that. Mercury.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:2958 for mercury.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Mercury's thought to be the origin of the phrase "mad as a hatter",
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- because they used mercury a lot in the millinery trade.- In the glue.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Yeah. And it drives you slowly mad, mercury, a little bit of mercury poisoning.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Let's take a look through the rest of them.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47It wasn't sulphur, it's phosphorus is the answer to the matches.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Would've scored 15 points.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55that would have scored 29.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Major element in the mineral part of bones is calcium,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59that would have scored 70...
0:19:59 > 0:20:02and used in filaments of old-style lightbulbs?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Tungsten.- Right, used in darts as well. Would have scored 20 points.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Well done if you got all of those.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- I keep thinking I'm going to get better at the periodic table.- I know!
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Chemistry is a weak spot and we've done it so many times. But I think some of this is going to stick.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I promise you I will remember everyone who's ever won
0:20:19 > 0:20:25the Dutch league title before I remember any of those answers. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3153 the lowest score of the round, Jason, very well done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33You've put yourself and Dave
0:20:33 > 0:20:36in a very strong position.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Up to 58, we find Paul and Andy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Then, bad luck, Alexa!
0:20:41 > 0:20:45That was a costly error - up on 100 we find Alexa and Ewan.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Ewan, I think you might be quite good at this.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51We're going to need a really good low score from you in the next round
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and we'll have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03OK, we're going to put six more clues to chemical elements on the board. And here they are.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Lack of this leads to goitre, 53.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Used as fuel in nuclear power stations, 92.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Light gas widely used to fill blimp balloons, 2.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Metal used in radiation shields, 82.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Architecturally popular, turns green in air, 29.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Poisonous element, was used in green wallpaper, 33.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I will read those all one last time.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Lack of this leads to goitre, 53.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Used as fuel in nuclear power stations, 92.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Light gas widely used to fill blimp balloons, 2.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Metal used in radiation shields, 82.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Architecturally popular, turns green in air, 29.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Poisonous element, was used in green wallpaper, 33.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50We're looking for the elements described by these clues, Andy,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and you need the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You're on 58, the high scorers are Ewan and Alexa on 100.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00If you can score 41 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05I'm going to go for "Metal used in radiation shields" - lead.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Lead, says Andy, the metal used in radiation shields.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10There's your red line - if you get below that,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14you will avoid becoming our new high scorers.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Let's see if lead's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Lead's right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25You're through to the next round. 28.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2928 takes your total up to 86.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Very effective at stopping gamma rays and X-rays,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34its atomic number is so high.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38It has so many protons and electrons, the things that stop gamma rays and x-rays.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Which is why Indiana Jones climbs into a fridge at the start of his last film.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44To survive the nuclear blast.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Can't say it would definitely work - but it's not a bad idea!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Quite dangerous, hiding in fridges, of course.- Never hide in a fridge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Definitely.- Really.- Unless there's going to be a nuclear explosion, then take your chances.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But also, be advised, it's dark in there with the door shut.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00LAUGHTER
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Is it definitely, though?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Yeah... - LAUGHTER
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Only one way to find out!- Come on!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- No, don't hide in fridges. - Yeah, don't hide in fridges.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Very good. OK, Now then - Ewan, moment of truth.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You know what you have to do, you're the high scorers.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You have to get through to the head-to-head.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I think I know all but one of these.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I'm going to go for "Poisonous element used in green wallpaper",
0:23:27 > 0:23:28asbestos.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Asbestos. You're absolutely certain of that, are you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Not entirely, but I think so.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Asbestos, says Ewan, the poisonous element used in green wallpaper.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Let's see if it's right. There's no red line for you cos you're the high scorers.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46GROANING
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Bad luck, Ewan. Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54scores you 100 and takes your total up to an unbeatable 200,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'm afraid to say.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Asbestos, not an element I'm afraid.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It would be bad to have it in your wallpaper, though.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Don't put asbestos on your wallpaper, kids.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06And stay out of the fridge.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Dave.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Good news, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15So we're looking for the chemical elements suggested by these clues.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Take us through the board if you can.- I can't.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I can take you through some of them, but as we've got a chance
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I'm going to go for...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28..try and get a low answer,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32and the poisonous element that was used in green wallpaper,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35the back of my mind I think it's arsenic.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40You're going to say arsenic. OK, arsenic, says Dave.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Let's see if that's right,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44and if it is, how many of our 100 said arsenic.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's right! Very well done.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Good scoring, Dave, that takes your total up to 67.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Well played. They used to use it in wallpaper,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05and the Victorians didn't like to open their windows very much,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09and so mould would quite often grow on the walls.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13And when mould grows on the walls in wallpaper it used to release the arsenic as a vapour, and kill you.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Also, sometimes if you sit down on a collapsible chair you can get an arse-nick.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18LAUGHTER
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- That's why it's poisonous!- Mmm.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Let's fill in the rest of this board. The lack of this leads to goitre... Do you know any of these?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Is goitre the thing that you have there? That sort of thing that grows there?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yeah, like a swelling of the neck. - Yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's iodine. 15 points.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Used as fuel in nuclear power stations?- Uranium.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45- Would've scored 31. The light gas used to fill blimp balloons?- Helium.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Yup. That would have scored 54,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50and architecturally popular, turns green in air?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Copper.- Copper, absolutely right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58That scores 37, so the best answer on that board is arsenic, Dave,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00very well played.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So at the end of Round Two the losing pair with the highest score,
0:26:03 > 0:26:04I'm sorry to say it's Ewan and Alexa.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10This is entirely contrary to expectations, I thought you were going straight to the final.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13200 club as well, Alexa!
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- That's bad. - Well, ten out of ten for effort.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Nought out of ten for correctness, in this round.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- And Alexa a teacher and all! - I know. Dreadful.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27This is your second show, so I'm afraid this really IS goodbye.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32It's been brilliant having you on the show, thank you so much for playing so well. Great contestants.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Congratulations, Dave and Jason, Paul and Andy,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50you are now only one round away from the final and the chance
0:26:50 > 0:26:53to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £7,250.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00You're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot,
0:27:03 > 0:27:07but the big news is you are now allowed to confer. You can start playing as teams.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11You're both on completely new territory here - you were both on the show last time,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14but this is the first time either of you has been on the head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16And Dave and Jason!
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Just dazzling performance from you today, our lowest scorers in every round.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Very best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Will Smith films. Richard.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40We're going to show you five pictures taken from Will Smith films.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44You just need to tell us the name of the film, please. Good luck.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Let's reveal our five Will Smith film stills, and here they are.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Five stills from Will Smith films.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Dave and Jason, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17THEY CONFER WITH ONE ANOTHER
0:28:30 > 0:28:32OK, we have an answer?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Yes... We think we know all of them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Not too sure on D, so we're going to go with B,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and say In Pursuit Of Happyness.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46In Pursuit Of Happyness.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Paul and Andy, you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Right, A is Independence Day.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56C is I, Robot. E is Ali.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02And I think B is...
0:29:02 > 0:29:04THE Pursuit Of Happyness.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Which one do you want to go for? - B, The Pursuit Of Happyness.- OK.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Tightly contested, this film.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16We have IN Pursuit Of Happyness and THE Pursuit Of Happyness.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Dave and Jason said In Pursuit Of Happyness,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22let's see if they're right and how many people said it if they are.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26In Pursuit Of Happyness an incorrect answer,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30which might suggest that Paul and Andy could be correct,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33and at this stage all they have to be is right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Let's see if they are.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's right, very well done.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48That's a great answer, 9.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Which means, Paul and Andy, after one question you are up 1-nil.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Andy doesn't take any prisoners, does he? Some good brinksmanship there.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02From 2006, plays Chris Gardner, based on a true story.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07A is Independence Day, that would have scored 18 points.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09C is I, Robot.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11That's the big scorer here, would have scored 61 - I think
0:30:11 > 0:30:13cos it's got robots in the picture, I presume.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17The best answer on the board, the one that would have beaten
0:30:17 > 0:30:19The Pursuit Of Happyness is D,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23and that is Six Degrees Of Separation. Based on a stage play.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26That was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31And E is Ali, as you gave us. That would have scored 26 points.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Here comes your second question, Dave and Jason,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39you have to win this question to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It concerns...
0:30:42 > 0:30:44bestselling books. Richard.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48We're going to show you five bestsellers from the 21st century along with their authors,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51but we've missed out one word of each of the titles.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Can you fill in these gaps?
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Let's reveal our five bestselling books with missing words,
0:30:56 > 0:30:57and here they are.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I'll read those one last time.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29There we are. Paul and Andy,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31you go first this time.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42We're going to go Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46The Lost Symbol.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Dave and Jason. You have to win this one to stay in the game, remember.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Talk this through the board if you can.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57I think the top one, Alice Sebold, is The Lovely Bones.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Hannibal Rising the second,
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Last Man Standing is David Baldacci, I think,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'm not sure of the fourth one.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Shall we go The Lovely Bones?- The Lovely Bones, you're going to say.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17The Lovely Bones, say David and Jason.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20So Paul and Andy have said The Lost Symbol for Dan Brown.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Let's see if that's right, and if it is how many people said The Lost Symbol.
0:32:37 > 0:32:4111 for The Lost Symbol.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Dave and Jason, The Lovely Bones has to beat that for you to stay in the game.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold. Is that right?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Two good answers there, but Paul and Andy,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10you won that question fair and square, which means after
0:33:10 > 0:33:12only two questions you are through to the final 2-nil.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Well played. I have to say I think Dave and Jason have been unlucky in this head-to-head.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20You've taken us through most of both boards, actually.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23If you had said Hannibal Rising, it's a correct answer
0:33:23 > 0:33:26and would have won you the point as well. 9 points for that.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Last Man Standing, you're right again, David Baldacci,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33that would have scored you 52 though.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35The best answer on the board is the one at the bottom,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37John Grisham, but a lesser known one.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Do you know that at all?- No.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's a seasonal book that he wrote.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Skipping Christmas is the answer, would have scored 5 points.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Very well done if you said that at home.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head I'm afraid,
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Dave and Jason, who've played a blinder the whole way through the show
0:33:58 > 0:34:03until this head-to-head. You were so nearly right with the first question, and a lovely low score.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08We knew Six Degrees Of Separation as well, but didn't say it, did we?
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Bad, bad luck.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Well, you've played so well. Brilliant performance on the show.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Much better than last time, it was only Round One, but this time you've come through completely.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21We have to say goodbye, but thanks very much for playing.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Dave and Jason!
0:34:22 > 0:34:23APPLAUSE
0:34:25 > 0:34:29But for Paul and Andy it's now time for our Pointless Final!
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Congratulations, Paul and Andy, you fought off all the competition
0:34:36 > 0:34:38and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Very well done. You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £7,250.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, the dark horses! The dark horses.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04Just slow and steady, and then a massive 2-nil victory in the head-to-head.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Very well done. We've put you through your paces today.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Any favourite grounds?- The football round.- You did very well in that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13And Will Smith?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Very impressive knowledge there, and good on the books as well.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19To win the money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24We haven't had any on the show today. You only have to find one now to go home with that jackpot.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Firstly you've got to choose a category and you can choose from these five options.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Right, let's rule out Country Stars.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Theatre, no.- No. - Rugby Players, no.- No.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43So it's between London and Film Actors.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44What are you best at, do you reckon?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Could be anything on Films, though. Shall we go London?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Yeah, we might as well. We're going to go for London.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:35:55 > 0:36:00to name as many London mayoral candidates as they could.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Richard.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Yeah - anyone who's ever stood as a candidate in the London mayoral elections, from the first one in 2000
0:36:07 > 0:36:11right through to the 2012 election. So anyone who's ever stood as the London mayoral candidate.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Very best of luck.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19and all you need to win that £7,250
0:36:19 > 0:36:21is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Are you ready?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29There they are - your time starts now.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I'm thinking of Screaming Lord Sutch.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Yeah! Boris Johnson. Ken Livingstone.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Screaming Lord Sutch... The ex-policeman...
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Oh - Brian...- Paddick. - Paddick.- Yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Anybody from the Greens?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Who was the Tory one...?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Oh, Ken... No, no.- No.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54He was the transport minister. Wasn't he?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Did that idiot from the BNP go forward?- He probably did!
0:37:02 > 0:37:03What was his name...?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11He came from Liverpool, he was the transport minister for Margaret Thatcher.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I don't know. You're losing me!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Ten seconds left.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21What about Shirley MacLaine, did she do it?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- She's an actress. - Yeah, I know she was an actress,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- but I think she was a minister as well.- No...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31OK. That's your time up.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33We were looking for London mayoral candidates,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35and I now need your three answers.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Right, Screaming Lord Sutch. - Screaming Lord Sutch.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Brian Paddick.- Brian Paddick.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44And let's go for...Nick Griffin.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49Nick Griffin. OK, Screaming Lord Sutch, Brian Paddick, Nick Griffin.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Screaming Lord Sutch, I would say. - We'll put him last.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Which is your least likely? - Nick Griffin.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01So Screaming Lord Sutch at the bottom,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Nick Griffin first,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05and Brian Paddick in the middle.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So, we are looking for London mayoral candidates.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Nick Griffin was your least confident answer.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £7,250.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Let's see how many people said Nick Griffin. Is it right?
0:38:29 > 0:38:33No! So not a pointless answer,
0:38:33 > 0:38:36which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:36 > 0:38:42Paul, let's say one of your two remaining answers brings that column down to nothing.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44What would you spend £7,250 on?
0:38:44 > 0:38:48A nice holiday for my wife and I.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Some for my two children, 21 and 19, so they'll go on holiday...
0:38:52 > 0:38:57Bit of DIY, and a little bit to my charity.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Very good indeed. Andy?
0:38:59 > 0:39:04I went to Rome last week, so most of that'll go on that...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Hang on... You've already been?!
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I know, but it would pay it off.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Hopefully... I want to buy a new set of decks.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17And the rest I will give to my mum to help pay her mortgage off early.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Well, very best of luck. Lots of worthy things there.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23We are looking for London mayoral candidates,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26let's hope nobody said your next answer, Brian Paddick.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28This feels like a very solid answer.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31The question is how many people will remember Brian Paddick?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35For £7,250, how many of our 100 people said Brian Paddick?
0:39:40 > 0:39:41It's absolutely right.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Nick Griffin was an incorrect answer,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Brian Paddick though spot on the money...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Into the 40s, into the 30s, still going down...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53APPLAUSE
0:39:57 > 0:40:00So not a pointless answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Everything is now riding on your last answer, Screaming Lord Sutch.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09He's a pretty safe bet for elections. Mayoral elections?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Do you remember seeing him on the ticket?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14No.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16But he's the sort of person who'd do it.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17He's the sort of person...
0:40:17 > 0:40:22Well, to win that jackpot of £7,250 this has to be right and pointless.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Screaming Lord Sutch. Did anyone say it, is it right?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31No!
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Bad luck. Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:40:36 > 0:40:40pointless answer, but you do still get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:55Sorry, Paul. Sorry, Andy. Screaming Lord Sutch passed away in 1999.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57The year before the first London mayoral election.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00The Tory minister, have you remembered his name?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Yeah.- Steven...
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Steven...- Norris!
0:41:05 > 0:41:09He stood for the Tories in 2000, would have scored one point.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12So it would have prolonged the agony.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Before we look at the pointless answers - more bad news for Ken Livingstone.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18He got 73 points, and Boris Johnson got 83.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20LAUGHTER
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Sorry, Ken. Them's the breaks.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Let's take a look at the pointless answers, see if anyone got these at home.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27There's a couple of big names.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Alan Craig who stood for the Christian People's Alliance in 2008.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Damian Hockney, who was the UKIP candidate in 2000.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Darren Johnson was the Green Party candidate in 2000.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Frank Maloney, the boxing promoter, stood for UKIP in 2004.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43He came fourth, amazingly.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Geoffrey Clements, the leader of the Natural Law Party, he stood in 2000.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Lindsey German, from the Respect Party, she stood for mayor.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Lorna Reid, Sian Berry.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Simon Hughes, the Lib Dem candidate in 2004 was a pointless answer -
0:41:58 > 0:42:02as was Susan Kramer, the Lib Dem candidate in 2000 -
0:42:02 > 0:42:03and he came third.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Well, unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you, Paul and Andy,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13but it's been a great pleasure having you on the show. Great contestants!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Thank you!
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Well, Paul and Andy didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:42:21 > 0:42:24rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £8,250.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26AUDIENCE: Woooo!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard...
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
