0:00:22 > 0:00:29Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, where the questions are asked to 100 people
0:00:29 > 0:00:34and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers they couldn't think of.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43First up, we welcome Colin and Dot. How do you two know each other?
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Dorothy's my older sister by six years.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- And where are you from?- Scotland. I've come down from Hamilton.
0:00:51 > 0:00:58- And Colin has come down from... - Castle Douglas in the south-west of Scotland.- She IS your older sister,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- isn't she?- I'm a bit bossy. - Just a bit(!)
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Colin, what do you do up there? - I'm a forestry manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11I look after woodlands in Galloway and beyond, over south Scotland.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- What a nice job. Dot, how about you? - I work for the Church of Scotland.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21I'm a deacon. I work in the east end of Glasgow. We run carer and tots groups, holiday clubs for kids,
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- drop-in for people who need a cup of tea and a chat.- Very good. - So I really enjoy my work.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Colin, what do you like to get up to?- I'm quite a sporty chap.
0:01:31 > 0:01:39- I do quite a lot of tennis, golf, badminton in the winter.- OK, so sports are going to be good for you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45- Dot, you cover a lot of areas. You'll be quite well-informed. - I just hope the Bible comes up!
0:01:45 > 0:01:52- It does from time to time. Anything you hope doesn't come up?- I don't want politicians or football.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Richard?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Politicians or football?- Yeah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:04- Or football-playing politicians.- Ah. You are not going to like Round Two. - Oh, no!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- I'll change it to the Bible. - Oh, thank you!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11A warm welcome to you. Lovely to have you on the show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:18Next, Lily and Steve, who were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Lily, remind us how you know each other.- Steve is my dad.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- Steve, what happened last time? - We hadn't looked very well at the faces on Bank of England notes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33And, em, as a scientist, I should have recognised Robert Newton.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Who?!- Isaac Newton!- Yeah!
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Robert Newton's my mate. - Robert Newton, if you're watching, look what you've just done.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- We discovered that Steve is a forensic scientist.- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56- A REAL forensic scientist. Oh, yes. None of your showbiz forensics here. - Not at all.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- What are you hoping comes up today, Lily?- We'd like more pure science, as opposed to just Newton.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- We've got biochemistry covered, biology...- And deaths!
0:03:06 > 0:03:12- And deaths.- That is what forensic scientists deal with. I'm sorry. There it is.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14What else would you like, Steve?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Mainly medical matters, really. I think...the body,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22animals, blood, of course... RICHARD LAUGHS
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- It's quite scary. - Yeah, a little bit.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Anyway, you did very well last time. Very, very best of luck to you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Next, we welcome back Ken and David, also on the show last time.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- You made it to Round Two.- We did. - Remind us how you know each other.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We belong to the same drama group in Burnley.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- And, David, Round Two was racecourses.- Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- You answered brilliantly. - And then Richard told me if I'd gone for the other one I'd said...
0:03:52 > 0:03:58- You'd be through.- There you go. - That's the way the cookie crumbles. What do you hope happens today, Ken?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Well, who knows? Maybe some subjects like history, geography, politics maybe.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- How about you, David?- Anything on the canals of England and Wales would be nice.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- Or sport.- All sports? - Football and cricket.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Football and cricket. Very, very best of luck.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20We've got to hope you get further this time.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And, finally, we welcome Emily and Ellie. How do you know each other?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- We study history at Leeds University.- So history is great.
0:04:28 > 0:04:35- Emily, what are your interests? - I play a bit of football.- What kind do you play? Silly question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41When I was younger, I used to play at the highest level. I played a few games in the Premier League.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- Wow. That's properly impressive, isn't it?- That's really impressive. Yeah.- Yeah!
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Ellie, what do you like to get up to?- Kind of the complete opposite. Musicals and pantomimes.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- Right you are. So music is great for you?- Yeah, it would be pretty good,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02especially recent music, particularly Beyonce. Any Beyonce.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Very good. Very best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you as it goes along.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14One person left. If somebody knew as much as he does hundreds of years ago, they'd be burned as a witch.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Hiya.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - We've got a cracking line-up today.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32It's going to be very, very tough to win this show today.
0:05:32 > 0:05:40There's a big jackpot. Four strong pairs. I've been asked for canals, blood, Beyonce and the Bible.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- There you go.- I cannot promise if all those will come up, I'll be honest with you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52- But I'll sit back and enjoy it. It should be an absolute barnstormer.- Thanks, Richard.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58All our questions have been put to 100 people. To get to the final round and play for the jackpot,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01you need to find obscure answers those 100 couldn't get.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05The fewer people who knew the answer, the fewer points you score.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. Nobody won it last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19So today's jackpot starts off at £9,250.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44OK, our first category today is... US politics.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51Can you all decide who's going to go first and who goes second? Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59OK, our question concerns... states that voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Richard?- Yeah, Xander's about to show you a map of the United States.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Marked on that map in blue are all the states that voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Can you name any of those states, please? Very best of luck.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19OK now, Colin and Dot, you drew lots and you are going to go first.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21So here is our image.
0:07:22 > 0:07:29There we are. Now then, Colin, what is the most obscure state that voted for Barack Obama?
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- You say Ba-rack Obama.- I say Ba-rack Obama. What do you say? - Is that generally considered...?
0:07:35 > 0:07:41- We've got some Americans in. Barack or Ba-rack?- Ba-rack!- Ba-rack!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Ba-rack.- Now we've got to say Ba-rack the whole way through!
0:07:45 > 0:07:50OK, if we edit that bit out, everyone will say, "Why is he saying Ba-rack?!"
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Ba-rack.- Ba-rack. That's hilarious.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59I did a voiceover with an American producer who was really nice.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04He said, "Alexander, do you shorten your name at all, Alexander?"
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I said people call me Xander. He said, "Zonder?"
0:08:08 > 0:08:15And for the rest of the session he said, "Zonder..." I said, "It's fine. You don't have to..."
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Colin, what is the most obscure state that voted for Barack Obama that you can think of?
0:08:20 > 0:08:25I think I know quite a few of these, but I'll go for New Hampshire.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30New Hampshire. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Absolutely right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Four!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44APPLAUSE
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Very well done indeed, Colin. That's got us going.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Considered a swing state, but voted Democrat in 3 of the last 4 elections.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- OK, Lily.- Yes. I was a bit worried when US politics came up,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- but this isn't too bad. I'm going to go with Vermont. - You'll go with Vermont.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Vermont. Is it right? How many people said Vermont?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It's absolutely right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Six!
0:09:18 > 0:09:26- Very well played. Six for Vermont. - Yes, it's been Democrat since 1992 when Clinton won
0:09:26 > 0:09:32over Bush. It used to be Republican through history, except for once, but he won it by a mile.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35OK now, Ken...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, I'm going to go with... Delaware.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44Delaware, says Ken. Delaware. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Absolutely right.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Three!
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Very, very well done, Ken. This is good!- Everyone's doing well.
0:10:03 > 0:10:10I told you. In some shows, this would have caused some trouble, but these guys have no trouble.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Another state that used to be staunchly Republican. Now Democrat.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Now then, Ellie.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22I was a bit worried when this came up, but from that map I know a few. It's which is the most obscure.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'm going to go with...Maine.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31Maine, says Ellie. Shall we see if that's right and how many said it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Absolutely right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Thirteen!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Thirteen for Maine.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Yeah, another good answer. Obama beat McCain by 18% there in 2008.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57We're halfway through. Let's take a look at the scores. Some fabulous low scores there.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Three the lowest so far. Ken and David looking strong.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Up to four, Colin and Dot. Up to six for Lily and Steve.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10And then up to Ellie and Emily on 13. That's still a fantastic score, but no getting away from it -
0:11:10 > 0:11:15you are the high scorers. You need a nice, low-scoring answer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:22 > 0:11:28OK, so we are looking for US states that voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Now then, Emily, the high scorers on 13.
0:11:31 > 0:11:38Seemingly I only know southern states, which tend not to be Barack's biggest fan,
0:11:38 > 0:11:44so I think I'll guess at a northern state and go for Milwaukee.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Milwaukee, says Emily. No red line. You just have to hope this goes down as far as it can.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Milwaukee. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, bad luck, Emily!
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Bad luck. Our first incorrect answer of the round. That scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It takes your total up to an unbeatable 113, Richard?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Really sorry. Not a state.- Oh! - There's your problem.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Now then, David, you're through, but see if you can find a low-scoring state.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25One that came to mind straight away and then it came up blue on the map was Rhode Island.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Rhode Island, says David. Is it right? How many said it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Absolutely right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Three!
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Very well played, David. Takes you up to six.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Well played, David. Another solid win for Obama by about 30%. Very strong up in that corner.
0:12:53 > 0:13:00- Now then, Steve. You're also through.- I was considering something very iffy earlier,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- so as it stands I can just go with Florida.- OK, Florida.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Is it right? How many people said Florida?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Absolutely right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1639 for Florida.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Yes, safe and sound, Steve. You did what you had to do.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Considered the ultimate swing state now, especially after what happened in 2000.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- So, Dot... - This isn't a good category for me.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The good news is you're through, even if you score 100.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40So I'm going to take a punt. Colin said New Hampshire. I'm going to say New Brunswick.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44New Brunswick. Is that right? How many people said it if it is?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Bad luck. An incorrect answer scores 100 points. Couldn't matter less.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Your total's 104. Richard?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Sorry, Dot. The reason we took New Hampshire and not New Brunswick
0:14:01 > 0:14:07is New Hampshire is in America and New Brunswick's in Canada, so...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- I disallowed it.- I think that's right. The right decision.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Do you think? There's only one pointless answer on the board.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I'll give you that and some low scorers as well.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26Very well done anybody at home who said Iowa. Iowa is the pointless answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Let's take a look at it on the map. Other low scorers - Indiana would have scored one,
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Minnesota would have scored two, Pennsylvania two. Very well done if you got any of those low ones.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Let's take a look at the biggest scorers now that most people said.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45New York would have scored you 37, New York State.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Florida we just had from Steve. 39.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And California, 43.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59So the losing pair with the highest score, I'm sorry, is Emily and Ellie. Bad luck, bad luck.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03We had Milwaukee there. Our first incorrect answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09- Good punt.- It was a gamble. - It was a gamble. And you had to do that, as the high scorers.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14But we have to say goodbye to you. We'll see you again next time.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Thanks very much for playing, Emily and Ellie!
0:15:19 > 0:15:24But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34And so four pairs become three pairs and three pairs will become two pairs at the end of this round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Ken and David, it's probably not you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You played so well. Very good American geography there.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48- Some lovely low-scoring answers. Do you know North America well? - I've never been. David has.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I remember those sorts of states from school, I think.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- I lived in Canada for a couple of years.- Anywhere near New Brunswick? - No, Calgary, Alberta.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Right you are. Lily and Steve, pretty good. Lily - Vermont.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Lovely answer there. And Colin and Dot were great... apart from New Brunswick.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Anything could happen in Round Two. Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category is...UK sitcoms.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20UK sitcoms. Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30OK, the question concerns... sitcom characters and their actors.
0:16:30 > 0:16:37- Sitcom characters and their actors. Richard?- We're going to show you 12 sitcom characters in this round.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Just tell us which actor played that character, please.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44An obscure answer scores fewer points. An incorrect one is 100.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47See how many you can get at home.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53So we are looking for the actors who played these characters from sitcoms. We've got...
0:16:53 > 0:16:55HE READS THE LIST
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'll read those one last time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08There we are. Six sitcom characters.
0:17:08 > 0:17:15Dot, I need you to give me the actor who played the most obscure of those that the fewest people would know.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21It's looking a good board to me. I'm just wondering. I'm choosing between a couple of them.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I think we'll go with Harold Steptoe...
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- was Wilfrid Brambell. - Wilfrid Brambell, says Dot. Wilfrid Brambell.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's the other one, isn't it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- Bad luck, Dot. I'm afraid that's incorrect and you score 100 points. - Sorry, Dot.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- He played Albert Steptoe. - Thanks, Richard. Lily?
0:17:52 > 0:17:58That takes a bit of pressure off because I only know the obvious ones. I'll go with Victor Meldrew
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- and Richard Wilson. - Richard Wilson, says Lily. Is that right? How many said it?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It is right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Eleven!
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Nothing obvious about that score. A nice low score for Richard Wilson.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- A surprisingly low answer.- Isn't it? - I'm not quite sure how to express my disbelief at that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- I...don't credit it, maybe. - I can't comprehend it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34I can't comprehend it. Thanks, Richard. Now then, Ken,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39you're the last person so you could take us through all the answers.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Gary Strang... I might struggle with that one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton is in there somewhere, but she won't come out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Frank Spencer is Michael Crawford,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Derek Trotter is David Jason,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59but I'll go for Harold Steptoe and Harry H Corbett.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Harry H Corbett says Ken. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Absolutely right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19One! Ken, that's a brilliant answer. Very, very well done indeed.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25- Once again, Ken and David show their supremacy. Brilliant answer. - Very well played.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31Dot knew that as well. Harry H Corbett in the wonderful series written by Galton and Simpson.
0:19:31 > 0:19:37- Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton is...- Penelope Keith.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Absolutely right. 15. From To The Manor Born.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Frank Spencer, Michael Crawford. 18.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Derek Trotter, David Jason. It would have scored 33 only.- Wow. - Isn't that amazing?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- Because he's not called Del Boy, perhaps?- Maybe.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59- And Gary Strang scored three points. Do you know that?- Martin Clunes! - In Men Behaving Badly.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03But Harry H Corbett was the best answer on that board.
0:20:03 > 0:20:11We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores. Ken and David, one. Lovely low score there.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17No pressure on you, I'd say, David. Then we come up to 11, where we find Lily and Steve. Pretty safe.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23Oh, dear. Dot and Colin, you are way out in front, but anything might happen.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29You'll need to score low, Colin. Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places now?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35OK, we'll put six more sitcom characters on the board.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'll read those one last time.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57There we are. We're looking for the names of the actors who played them.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01David, you'll try to find the one the fewest people knew.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06I didn't know his first name was Rupert, but I'm going for Rigsby and Leonard Rossiter.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12Leonard Rossiter, says David. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Here's your red line. Very high. Let's see how far down it goes.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Absolutely right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:2518.
0:21:25 > 0:21:2818 for Leonard Rossiter takes your total to 19.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Another very good answer. He gave up a career in insurance to become an actor.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- Sort of like the opposite of you. - Yeah, true!
0:21:41 > 0:21:46He went on to star in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin as well.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Two much-loved sitcoms. - There we are. Now then, Steve.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55The high scorers are Colin and Dot. If you can score 88 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Yes. I've decided to play Basil Fawlty, John Cleese.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04John Cleese, Basil Fawlty. Is that right? How many said it?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07There's your read line. Nice and high.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You're through.
0:22:11 > 0:22:1358.
0:22:13 > 0:22:1758 takes your total up to 69. Richard?
0:22:17 > 0:22:23Have you noticed that Lily is so good, all Steve has to do is stand there and give an obvious answer?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Isn't it great when your kids start paying off?- I taught her well.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35After all that effort, sleepless nights, finally they give something back. Steve, you're a hero.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Thank you.- Colin...
0:22:37 > 0:22:44I have grave news. You are the high scorers, even before your doubtless brilliant answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- But you're the last person, so talk us through it. Fill in all the blanks.- Oh, that's difficult.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56I actually knew the two we've got and I'm desperately trying to think who Alf Garnett was.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00I used to watch Till Death Us Do Part, but I've gone blank.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07Oh... Well, I know it's not right, but Felicity Kendall.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- For one of them. - As Alf Garnett, yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Felicity Kendall as... Who do you want to nominate?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- We'll go for Gladys Pugh. - Gladys Pugh, Felicity Kendall.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Is that right? And how many people said it?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Oh!
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Bad luck, bad luck. An incorrect answer scores you the maximum 100 points.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It takes your total up to 200.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Richard?- Sorry, Colin. You had to say something.
0:23:38 > 0:23:45Shall I tell you who played Alf Garnett? Warren Mitchell. It would have scored 15 points.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Hyacinth Bucket?- Patricia Routledge. - Absolutely. Would have scored 13.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Gladys Pugh?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Ruth Madoc.- Absolutely right. In Hi-De-Hi. Scored five.
0:23:55 > 0:24:02- And the best answer on the board. Tim Bisley? - I'm going to kick myself.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Simon Pegg in Spaced.- Oh, Spaced! - Would have scored one point.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Well done if you got all twelve.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I thought it was Tim from The Office when I looked at it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Martin Freeman. Yeah. Simon Pegg. - I got it wrong.- There we are.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You got it wrong! He got it wrong!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- No, I got it right. - He got it right!
0:24:25 > 0:24:32Thanks, Richard. So our losing pair with the highest score is Colin and Dot.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- Oh, dear, oh, dear. Our newest members of the 200 Club as well. - We are.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Aww. Well, listen. They're quite tough, those boards.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48- If you don't know... You knew Patricia Routledge and Warren Mitchell.- I did.- It's very hard.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Yeah.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56We'll see you again next time. Thanks very much for playing, Colin and Dot.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02But for the remaining two pairs we enter the Head to Head.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Congratulations, Ken and David, Lily and Steve.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17You are only one round away from the chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £9,250!
0:25:20 > 0:25:26You'll now go head to head and the first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You are now allowed to confer and can start playing as a team.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36Lily and Steve, you were here last time and you were the low scorers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40This time you've been usurped by Ken and David. There they are.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Amazing play from you. You are on fire today.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Low scorers in every round. How do you feel, Lily and Steve?
0:25:48 > 0:25:54If we're the highest scorers this time and it went wrong last time, hopefully it'll be opposite now.
0:25:54 > 0:26:01- She might be right. Steve, time to pull your socks up.- We're not behind. We're just tucked in.
0:26:01 > 0:26:08I'll be the judge of that. Steve, Lily's carrying you. She's been carrying you all this show.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- And it's a heavy load. - Yeah. Time to pull you socks up. - Guilty as charged.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Let's play the Head to Head.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Here comes your first question. And it concerns...flowers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:32- Flowers, Richard.- We're going to show you five anagrams of common names for flowers.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Can you unscramble these anagrams and give us the most obscure?
0:26:36 > 0:26:42- OK, let's reveal our five flower anagrams. We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I'll read those all one last time.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Ken and David, you've played best so you get to go first.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59THEY CONFER
0:27:03 > 0:27:07OK. Red Navel...lavender.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Red Navel, lavender, say Ken and David. Lily and Steve, talk us through it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18OK, we've got lavender, orchid, daffodil, tulip and we think for the top one...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21We think it's Sweet William.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Yeah, Sweet William we'll go for. - Sweet William.- Sweet William.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Ken and David, you said lavender. How many people said lavender?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Absolutely right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:3919.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Lily and Steve have gone for Sweet William.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It IS right.
0:27:53 > 0:27:5519's what you have to beat.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01And you've done it! Very well done indeed. Four!
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- Did Steve come up with that one? - He did. He's redeemed himself.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Very well done. Lily and Steve are up one-nil.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Well played. Best answer up there. Nothing the guys could have done.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Kate Middleton had some Sweet William in her bridal bouquet.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- That's nice.- Sweet. Let's go through the rest.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Lily's taken us through them. Tulip would have scored you 84 points.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Offal Did, daffodil. That would have scored 75.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43And Rich Do is orchid. That would have scored you 34. Well done if you got all five.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49Thanks very much. Here comes your second question. Ken and David, you have to win to stay in the game.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54The second question concerns... John Lennon. John Lennon. Richard?
0:28:54 > 0:29:01- Five clues to facts about John Lennon. Which is most obscure? - OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03HE READS THE LIST
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31Five facts about John Lennon. Lily and Steve, you go first.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34THEY CONFER
0:29:39 > 0:29:43OK. We're going to say that the name of his eldest son was Julian.
0:29:43 > 0:29:49Julian. Julian, his eldest son. Ken and David, talk us through the board.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54His first posthumous UK number one single we THINK was Imagine.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57We think his first band was The Quarrymen.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00He married Yoko Ono in '69.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04And we don't know anything about Nowhere Boy.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10So we're going to go for - and hope it's right - his first band was The Quarrymen.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14You say The Quarrymen was his first band.
0:30:14 > 0:30:21OK, in the order they were given. Lily and Steve said Julian. Is that right? How many people said Julian?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Absolutely right.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- 47.- That's quite high.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3847 for Julian. The Quarrymen, say Ken and David, was the first band he was in.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Is that right? How many people said The Quarrymen?
0:30:46 > 0:30:52Oh! Very well done. It's done what it needed to do. 13. Brilliant.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Ken and David, very well done. You're back in the game.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04- It's one-all. Richard? - Well played, Ken and David. Three of that band still play together,
0:31:04 > 0:31:09- as John Lennon's Original Quarrymen. - Really?- Yes. Rod Davis, Len Garry and Colin Hanton.
0:31:09 > 0:31:16- That's brilliant. - The woman he married was Yoko Ono. It would have scored you 76 points.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21The actor who played him was Aaron Johnson - three points.
0:31:21 > 0:31:28His first posthumous UK number one single. You said Imagine. That would have scored 100 points.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34- It's a one-point answer. Any idea?- Starting Over.- (Just Like) Starting Over. Absolutely right.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Best answer on the board. Well done.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43OK, here comes your third question. This is the decider. It concerns...
0:31:45 > 0:31:52films with a country in their title. Whoever wins this goes through to the final. Richard?
0:31:52 > 0:31:58We'll show you a list of five films now with one word missing and that word is a country.
0:31:58 > 0:32:06I don't need to say "a sovereign state that's a member of the UN", although I have just said it.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11- OK, let's reveal our five film titles. We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I'll read those one last time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37There we are. Five film titles with the name of a country missing.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Ken and David, you go first.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43THEY CONFER
0:32:49 > 0:32:54We're going to go for If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium.
0:32:54 > 0:33:00If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, say Ken and David. Lily and Steve, talk us through it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:07We've got From Russia With Love, Good Morning Vietnam, Hotel Rwanda and Salmon Fishing In The Yemen.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13Steve thinks Salmon Fishing In The Yemen. I think Hotel Rwanda. That's what I was thinking before.
0:33:13 > 0:33:20- So we'll say Hotel Rwanda.- OK. Hotel Rwanda and you're hoping that will get lower than Belgium.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25OK, Ken and David, If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium. Is it right? How many said it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Absolutely right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Nine!
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Very well done, Ken and David. That's a low score.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48Lily and Steve have said Hotel Rwanda. Let's see if that's right and if it can beat a score of nine.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Hotel Rwanda. How many said it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55It's right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58How far down is it going to go?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Oh, 16!
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Bad luck, Lily and Steve. There's nothing you could have done there.
0:34:11 > 0:34:18Ken and David, well done. After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1. Richard?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22We predicted a terrific show. The best two answers on the board.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Very well played, both teams.
0:34:25 > 0:34:32Nothing you could have done. Have you seen If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium?
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- No.- You just remembered the title. - We're both of that sort of era.
0:34:36 > 0:34:42- I could remember a film called that. - Isn't it funny, the things that help you out in life?
0:34:42 > 0:34:47From Russia With Love would have scored you 86 points.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Good Morning Vietnam would have scored 79 points.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56And you were right to go to Hotel Rwanda. Salmon Fishing In The Yemen would have scored 41.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Thanks very much, Richard. So our losing pair is Lily and Steve.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- Gutted.- Oh. You played so well. Head to Head in both shows.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I'm really sorry we have to say goodbye. Three great answers there.
0:35:11 > 0:35:18Absolutely fantastic. Nothing you could have done. Brilliant contestants, Lily and Steve!
0:35:21 > 0:35:26But for Ken and Dave it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:30 > 0:35:36Congratulations, Ken and David. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £9,250.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50AUDIENCE "Oooh!"
0:35:53 > 0:35:59You have done so well. You were brilliant in the last show and you've gone all the way now.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- The jackpot's a little bigger. How are you feeling?- Great.- Better.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08I should hope so! They're always tough, these jackpot rounds.
0:36:08 > 0:36:15They require specific knowledge, but you are more than averagely equipped with that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer. We haven't had any today.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Find one and you leave with the money. First, choose a category.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Your choice of categories are...
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- It's not going to be pop stars or Katie Price.- It certainly isn't. British actors, maybe.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Scottish footballers... - No.- Probably not.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Yeah, I fancy art. - Let's go for it. Art.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:36:56 > 0:37:02as many artists who designed posters for the 2012 Olympics as they could.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08- Richard?- We're looking for any artists who designed an official poster for the 2012 Olympic
0:37:08 > 0:37:11or Paralympic Games. Best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win that £9,250
0:37:17 > 0:37:24- is for just one to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- They've obviously got to be alive so Tracey Emin...- Yeah.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- Damien Hirst.- Who was the lady who did the Big Ben thing in different colours?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- It was a quarter of Big Ben... - No idea.- Somebody Moss, maybe.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43No.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Could be, but I don't know.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Hockney?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54I...don't know. I haven't seen any of the posters, I don't think.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00- So it makes it a bit difficult. - Damien Hirst's more a sculptor. - Well, he is, but...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- You never know.- Em...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Hockney's a possibility, isn't he?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Yeah. I can't think of anybody else.
0:38:14 > 0:38:20- I can't think of anybody... - 10 seconds left.- ..particularly who would do the Paralympics.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21No.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25So there's Hockney, Hirst...
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Emin.- Yeah. - OK, your time is up.
0:38:29 > 0:38:36Artists who designed posters for the 2012 Olympics. I now need your three answers.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41- Tracey Emin.- Tracey Emin. - David Hockney.- David Hockney.
0:38:41 > 0:38:47- And Damien Hirst.- OK, there are your three answers. Which do you reckon is your best punt?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Probably Hockney.- Hockney. - OK, we'll put Hockney last.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- Which is your least likely? - Go on.- I would say Tracey Emin.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00OK, let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:39:02 > 0:39:08So we are looking for artists who designed posters for the London 2012 Olympics. Your first answer,
0:39:08 > 0:39:13the least likely to be pointless, is Tracey Emin.
0:39:13 > 0:39:19You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £9,250. So let's find out.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Tracey Emin. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Absolutely right!- Good grief!
0:39:26 > 0:39:31You thought this was your least likely answer to be pointless.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35It's still going down. Down into the 20s.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3616!
0:39:37 > 0:39:42- We got one right!- Not bad. It's not a bad score, 16.- No.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47Sadly, at this stage of the game, we only want pointless answers.
0:39:47 > 0:39:54So everything is riding on your last two answers for you to win that jackpot of £9,250.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Ken, what would you do with that?
0:39:56 > 0:40:04I've taken quite a liking for taking budget flights around eastern Europe, so I could go on several.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- You could go on a lot! - I certainly could.- Very good.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- David, how about you?- I'm off to see my daughter in Australia
0:40:12 > 0:40:20- so it would be a nice pot of spending money for that and her wedding.- Congratulations for that.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25OK, very best of luck. Let's hope one of these wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:25 > 0:40:31Artists who designed posters for the 2012 Olympics. Let's hope nobody said your next answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Damien Hirst, for £9,250. Is it pointless?
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Oh!
0:40:40 > 0:40:43An incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48Not Damien Hirst. You only have one more chance for today's jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54Everything rides on David Hockney. We're looking for artists who designed posters for the Olympics.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59This was your most confident shot. It has to be right and pointless
0:40:59 > 0:41:03for £9,250. How many people said David Hockney?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Oh, bad luck!
0:41:08 > 0:41:16Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer but you still take home the trophy.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Very well done for that.- Thank you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:30- A tough category, that one. Richard?- That is tough luck after two very good shows.
0:41:30 > 0:41:36Tracey Emin is the highest scorer. Hers said, "You inspire me with your determination. I love you."
0:41:36 > 0:41:41David Hockney did do a poster for the 1972 Olympics, but not this one.
0:41:41 > 0:41:47To get any of the pointless answers, you need to know UK modern art.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Let's take a look at a few. Some people at home will get these.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56Bob and Roberta Smith, the working name of Patrick Brill,
0:41:56 > 0:42:02Bridget Riley, also pointless, Fiona Banner. She's done a poster called Superhuman Nude.
0:42:02 > 0:42:09Gary Hume, two of the elder statesmen of British art - Howard Hodgkin, Michael Craig-Martin.
0:42:09 > 0:42:16And Sarah Morris did Big Ben 2012. All of those are pointless answers in a very tough category.
0:42:16 > 0:42:23- Really tough. Did you know any of those?- I'd seen the Sarah Morris one on the Tube.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29The Big Ben one. But I hadn't taken enough notice of her name. I thought it was Moss.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Nearly there. That's unfortunate.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- I hadn't heard of any. - That's a relief. I think!- It is.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40So we have to say goodbye. It's been brilliant having you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Brilliant contestants. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Well, Ken and David didn't win our jackpot so it rolls over
0:42:51 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £10,250.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
