0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Welcome to Pointless, the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39First, we welcome back Emily and Ellie, who were on the show last time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second chance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Emily, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We study history together at Leeds University.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Ellie, what happened last time?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54It was the first round and we went out, sadly.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- I did a blinding answer, got 13 points, then Emily...- Gambled badly.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02OK. Listen, we'll put that behind us.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04What's going to be good for you today, Emily?
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Well, music. Sport for Emily would be a good shout.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Sport. We discovered you were a Premier League women's footballer.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Yes.- You played for Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Yes.- That's so impressive.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Anything you really hope doesn't come up?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Shakespeare.- Yes, Shakespeare. Literature in general.- OK.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Certain literature would be good. Harry Potter, we'd absolutely...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- You'd have that one. - Storm that round. But...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Have you read Harry Potter extensively?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Extensively, yeah.- Repeatedly. - I think seven times each book.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- You are joking!- No. It's a bit sad, but...- Wow!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43A bit sad?!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'm a student. I have a lot of spare time on my hands!
0:01:46 > 0:01:51OK. As you say, it was Round One last time. We have high hopes we see more of you this time.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Best of luck. I have no doubt we will.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Next we welcome Tristan and Laura. How do you know each other?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01We work together and we started dating then.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So we've been going out with each other for about a year-and-a-half.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Whose idea was it to come on Pointless?
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- His.- Mine, I guess.- I introduced him to the show, though.- Did you?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Laura, what do you hope will come up? What's your favourite round on Pointless?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Probably something to do with capital cities or countries.- OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Or I spend a lot of time in Scandinavia with work,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- so it would be embarrassing if I didn't get anything right about those!- OK.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Good. Tristan, how about you?
0:02:27 > 0:02:32I used to work for the Met Office, so different types of cloud, that would be handy!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Really?- I used to know 30 different types of cloud!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37If you work for the Met Office, you can be a weather forecaster.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- It would be good.- You have to work for the Met Office to be a weather forecaster.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Think Tristan would be a good weather forecaster?- Very good.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Would you consider it, if an opening presented itself?- For the right money, who knows? Make me an offer!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I've heard the Met Office are... They are.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Yeah, they're coining it in.- Wow.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- Carol Kirkwood.- Yeah, she's Britain's third richest woman! - That's right. Yeah.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- After the Queen...- J.K.Rowling.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05J.K.Rowling, then Carol Kirkwood.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Well, very, very best of luck to you, Tristan and Laura.- Thank you. - Lovely to have you on the show.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Next we welcome Michael and Josh. How do you know each other?
0:03:13 > 0:03:18We've been friends for a while. My first day at a new school, I got sat next to Josh
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- and wore him down and we became friends.- Josh acclimatised you?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I took him under my wing, so to speak.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Michael, what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm a big sports fan. Me and Josh have played sport quite extensively.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We used to play American football and we play in a team together.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35We were Under-16 English champions.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Just the two of you?! - Just two of us!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Wow, you must be pretty good. - Just us, two, yeah!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's not bad going! Didn't need the rest of the guys, just us!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48What other areas will be good for you? Other areas of strength in a Pointless style?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50We think music might be good. We've been in a band together.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- We're into heavy rock.- Also there may be competition on the geography front.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58World capitals would be great for us as well.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's quite an impressive line-up, this lot.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- They're certainly promising much! - They're promising a lot. OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Michael and Josh, we will discover how much you know. Best of luck. Welcome to the show.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Finally, we welcome back Colin and Dot who were also on the show last time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Colin, remind us how you know each other.- Dot's my big sister.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- And Dot?- I'm his little sister but older!
0:04:20 > 0:04:21If you see what I mean!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What happened last time, Dot?
0:04:23 > 0:04:29- Last time I got my Canada and my USA mixed up.- And you joined the 200 club as well, that round.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Yes.- Anyway, you're back again. The slate's been wiped clean.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Yes.- And you've been round the track now. You know what to expect.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40What do you hope will come up?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Literature, films,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45a wee bit of Eastern Europe might be handy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Anything to add to that, Colin?
0:04:47 > 0:04:52We like different things. I like geography, science, sport.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Maybe even '70s music.- OK. Well, very best of luck to you, Colin and Dot.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Lovely having you back. We'll find out more about all of you during the show.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06A man who's never written boobies on a calculator because he thinks maths should be treated with more respect!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya!
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Hi, everybody.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Wow - you can write boobies on a calculator?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Yeah!- Oh, man. My life could have worked out very differently if I'd found that out!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Should be a good show today. Two returning pairs,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27neither of whom showed their full potential last time.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Emily and Ellie went out first round. Slightly unlucky to do so, I think.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35And Colin and Dot joined the 200 club in the second round.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And Dot as well has joined her own personal 200 club.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39She got 100 in both her answers.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But if she likes literature,
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- I suspect you might be able to break that hoodoo in the first question today.- Thank you!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Very exciting. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53To get to the final round and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01So the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you'll score.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Try and make sure that's not you. Our first category today is...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who second.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK. Our question concerns...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Novels with a surname in the title. Richard?
0:07:01 > 0:07:06On each pass, we're going to show you the titles of seven novels which have a surname in their title
0:07:06 > 0:07:09but we've left that surname blank. Can you fill it in, please?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Give an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18There will be 14 in all. Some of the literature buffs at home might try to go for all 14.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21But there's a few up there for everybody. Very best of luck.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Thanks very much. Emily and Ellie, you drew lots earlier, and today you are going first.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30We're looking for the missing surnames from these book titles. We have got...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12There we are. Seven novels with surnames missing from their titles.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Emily, what are you thinking?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm almost certain I know one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It's really bad, because I know it from the film.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23So I'm going to go for Johann Wyss.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- It's the Swiss Family Robinson. - Swiss Family Robinson says Emily.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Let's see how many of our 100 said Swiss Family Robinson.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Absolutely right. Ooh!
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Ooh, that's high!
0:08:38 > 0:08:4185 for Swiss Family Robinson.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43A very popular one. A very good film as well.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It was originally written by Johann Wyss's father
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and he completed it, edited it and published it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- That's sweet, isn't it? - That is nice.- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Now, then, Tristan.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Yeah.- What do you make of this board?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I could guess at a few of them, certainly.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05I'm going to try and stay away from ones that are the more famous films.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I'm going to have to go for one I'm sure of
0:09:09 > 0:09:11so I'm going to say The Great Gatsby.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14The Great Gatsby, says Tristan.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17The Great Gatsby. Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Absolutely right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Another big answer but a very safe score. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Leonardo DiCaprio playing Gatsby in the 2012 movie.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Now, then, Josh.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Literature is not a good subject for us. This is our weakness.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I recognise a couple, I hope.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I'm going to say The Talented Mr Ripley.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The Talented Mr Ripley, says Josh.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Talented Mr Ripley. Let's see how many people said that.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10We're seeing some big scoring from our 100 people.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- The wonderful Talented Mr Ripley. Have you read any of the Ripley books?- No.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- They're terrific. Patricia Highsmith was a wonderful writer. - I'll look them up.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Dot, you're the last person to have this board.- I am.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Do you want me to talk it through? - No. Yes, I do! I do!
0:10:27 > 0:10:33There's one I definitely know. But I would guess at The Story of Doctor... Might be Seuss.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Might be Stuart Little.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I don't know what Agnes' second name is,
0:10:36 > 0:10:41but certainly George Eliot's novel is Silas Marner.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Silas Marner says Dot.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Is it right, and if so how many people knew that answer?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Very well done, Dot. 35.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Best score of the pass.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Absolutely right. George Eliot, the pseudonym of Mary Anne Cross, or Marian Cross.
0:11:04 > 0:11:0835 points. Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11You're right about Stuart. It is Stuart Little.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14That would have scored 44 points, so it was well avoided.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Do you know The Story of Doctor... - That's Doolittle.- It is. Absolutely right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:2211 points. Well done if you said that at home. But the best answer on the board is
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Anne Bronte's novel, Agnes...- Grey. - Agnes Grey. Absolutely right.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31That would have scored five points. Well done if you got all seven. Seven more to come.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Thanks. We're half-way through the round. Let's look at our scores.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Dot the lowest scorer in that pass. Lovely low score of 35.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Then we travel up to 59, where we find Tristan and Laura.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Then up to 64, Josh and Michael, then up to 85 where we find Emily and Ellie.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Ellie, you can't leave us in the first round in this show.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So we need a really low score from you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05OK. We'll put seven more novels on the board with missing surnames.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And we have got...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46There we are. We're looking for the surnames
0:12:46 > 0:12:49that complete the titles of these novels.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Colin, you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57You're on 35, thanks to Dot's clever answering in the first pass.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The high scorers are Emily and Ellie on 85.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03A score of 49 or less will keep you in the game.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I'm going to try and play safe, Alexander,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08since we were lowest in the first round.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'll just go for Little Dorrit.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Little Dorrit. Let's see if it's right and if so, how many of our 100 said Little Dorrit.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Here is your red line. Below that red line and you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Little Dorrit. How many people said it?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Absolutely right.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Yep, you've done it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:3342 takes your total up to 77.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Well done, Colin. Perfect tactics. Amy Dorrit, known as Little Dorrit,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41born and spends much of her life in Marshalsea Prison.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Now, then. Michael. The high scorers are still Ellie and Emily on 85.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51You're on 64, so a score of 20 or less keeps you in the game for sure.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Struggling. I don't know whether to take a risk on one that's set bells going in my mind,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58or play it safe and try and avoid the 100.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04I can't risk 100. I'm not that certain. So I'm going to play The Bourne Identity.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- OK.- Hope it's the same as the film.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Michael is saying The Bourne Identity.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Let's see how many people said The Bourne Identity. Is it right?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Absolutely right.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Ooh, it's a high score. 78 takes your total to 142.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27One of the many Bourne books by Robert Ludlum, that's been carried on after his death.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Because of the films, obviously very well known.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Now, Laura.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34The high scorers are now Michael and Josh on 142. You're on 59.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38So a score of 82 or less keeps you in the game.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Yeah. That was the only one that I knew.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm going to have to just guess.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'll say that Smith is a common surname
0:14:45 > 0:14:50and just say The World According to Smith.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52The World According to Smith, you're saying.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57The John Irving book. Is it right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Bad luck, Laura. That's an incorrect answer. So you score the maximum 100 points.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10That takes your total up to 159. Richard?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Sorry, Laura, not Smith. I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Now, then, Ellie. You are the last person to have this board.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Hmm.- Is there anything left that's any good for you?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23To be honest, The Bourne Identity and Little Dorrit
0:15:23 > 0:15:25were my two that I knew when they came up.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31So I think I'm just going to have a guess.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35For some reason, Mrs Brown is ringing a bell.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's probably completely wrong, but I'll go with that
0:15:37 > 0:15:39and keep my fingers crossed.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- So I'll go with Mrs Brown.- You say Mrs Brown for Virginia Woolf.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Here comes your red line.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Mrs Brown. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Bad luck, Ellie, I'm afraid. An incorrect answer.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58So you also score the maximum 100 points.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02That takes your score up to an unbeatable 185. I'm sorry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Sorry, Ellie. It's not Mrs Brown, it's Mrs Dalloway.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The Virginia Woolf novel.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09That scored five points.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Let's see if anyone at home has got all 14 of those
0:16:12 > 0:16:14by filling in the board.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Alexander, I expect you can do these. The World According to... - Garp.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Right.- TS Garp is the name of that character.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Lorna, a big score down the bottom. - Doone.- Lorna Doone.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Absolutely right. By R.D. Blackmore.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Well done again to our 100.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- The Island of Doctor...- Moreau. - Moreau, absolutely.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Made into a disastrous film starring Marlon Brando.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And the best answer on this board,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- The Adventures of Augie...- March.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43March is the correct answer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Very well done to anyone who got all of those at home.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- And well done to our 100 people as well. Some big scores up there. - Very good indeed.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our first round,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57the losing pair with the highest score, Ellie and Emily.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Oh, dear.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Oh! That was quite a tough board.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Emily, the first board. Did you only have one answer on that?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10I knew the Great Gatsby. And I knew The Talent of Mr Ripley.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- If you'd gone a bit...- Yeah. For some reason I thought Swiss Family Robinson wouldn't be as popular.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Bad luck. We have to say goodbye to you, Ellie and Emily.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's been great having you on the show. Thanks for playing. Emily and Ellie.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40So one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Well, our category for Round Two is...
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Richard?- We're looking for any country other than the UK
0:18:04 > 0:18:09which is a member of the Commonwealth, but not in Africa or in that geo-political region.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14So any country of the world that's a member of the Commonwealth and is not in Africa.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18By country, we mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state in its own right.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24Thank you very much. Now, Laura. You are going to go first.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27What is the most obscure Commonwealth country you can think of
0:18:27 > 0:18:29that is not in Africa?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I'm just thinking of countries that have the Queen as the monarch.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38So I think St Vincent and the Grenadines has the Queen as monarch.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43St Vincent and the Grenadines. Is it right and if so how many people said it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's absolutely right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57There we are, Laura. Very well done indeed. That's a pointless answer.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00It adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It scores you nothing. Brilliant answer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Very well played, Laura. That makes up for getting 100 in the first round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's been a member of the Commonwealth since 1979.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14OK. Thanks very much. Michael?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I'm thinking around a few,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18but the one I'm going to go with may be a risk.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm going to say Bermuda.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Bermuda. Is it right and if so, how many of our 100 people said Bermuda.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34- Painful.- Bad luck, Michael. That's an incorrect answer. So you score the maximum 100 points.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Sorry.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Yeah, not a country, I'm afraid. It's a British overseas territory.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Colin?- Right. I think I'll play reasonably safe on this.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I've been to a few Commonwealth countries.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54New Zealand. Is that right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Wow! 27 for New Zealand.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- 27?!- 27. I know. Amazing, isn't it? A very low score.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14But again, if you're having to name them all in 100 seconds,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- there's a lot of answers, so things get left off the list.- I guess.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20One of the original Commonwealth countries, New Zealand.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23OK. Thanks. We're half-way through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28The best score of the lot was Laura's there, a lovely low score of zero.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Then up to 27, where we find Colin and Dot.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34And then a long way up to 100 where we find Michael and Josh.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- You know what you have to do, Josh. - Yeah!- Hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50OK. We are looking for non-African Commonwealth countries.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Dot, you're on 27. The high scorers are Josh and Michael on 100.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57A score of 72 or less will keep you in the game.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59It's quite a tricky one for me.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03So I'm actually just going to play it extremely safe
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- and go with Australia. - Here is your red line.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Let's see how many people said Australia. Is it right?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It's right...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18And you are through to the next round. Wow.
0:21:24 > 0:21:2634 takes your total up to 61.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Perfect tactics, Dot. You did exactly what you had to do. Safely through. Well played.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, then. Josh.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Talking of tactics. Only one particular outcome can keep you in the game.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43That's if you score a pointless answer and if Tristan scores 100.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44And then it goes to a tie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I'm not confident at all.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I'm going to say Tivalu.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Say it one more time.- Tuvalu. - Tuvalu. OK. Tuvalu says Josh.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Is it right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Tuvalu.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09And it's pointless, Josh!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Very well done. That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16taking the total up to...
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- It scores you nothing. It leaves... - APPLAUSE
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It leaves your total at 100 points. You are still the high scorers,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28but that was the first thing you had to do.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Exactly. You couldn't do better than that. Well played.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Do you want a fact about Tuvalu? - I'd love one.- Given we mention it so often!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It doesn't have a single stream or river!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Wow!- Yeah.- So if you're eating in Tuvalu, don't have the fish!
0:22:44 > 0:22:47OK. There we are. Now, then, Tristan.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50We're looking for any Commonwealth country that's not in Africa.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I do know a number of countries that I suspect may be good.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58But bearing in mind I don't need to go for a good one,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- I'm not sure I should go for one. - OK. Just to put you in the picture,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04the high scorers are Josh and Michael on 100.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- If you can score 99 or less... - I know.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09..you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I think I am going to say one that's maybe a little bit out there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16But I'm reasonably confident.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm going to say the Solomon Islands.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22The Solomon Islands. Is it right? How many people said it if it is.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's right and you're through.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Very well done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Let's see where this stops.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Very well done, Tristan!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Another pointless answer!
0:23:36 > 0:23:39That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42taking the total up to £11,000.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46It scores you nothing and leaves your total at nothing.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50A double pointless score. Very well done indeed. Richard?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You have to say that was gutsy, Tristan.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54You didn't need to do it at all, but very well played.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Here's some more pointless answers. We've had three. But there's a few more.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03All were pointless.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Could have also said Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Kiribati and the Solomon Islands.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And well done to our teams as well. Three pointless answers.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score
0:24:24 > 0:24:26are I'm afraid, Josh and Michael.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Bermuda wasn't a bad answer, it was just a wrong answer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- But your thinking was absolutely correct.- I should have named an actual country.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37There you go. Josh, a pointless answer. So although you leave us,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- you leave a legacy behind.- Yep.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And maybe that jackpot may be waiting for you next time.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Fingers crossed.- It's been great having you on the show.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Sorry we have to say goodbye now, but we'll see you again next time.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Josh, Michael. Great contestants.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Congratulations, Colin and Dot, Tristan and Laura.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11You're now only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at...
0:25:16 > 0:25:21You now go head-to-head. The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23But you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27So here you are in the head-to-head. New territory for both pairs.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Very best of luck to all of you. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Here comes your first question.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And it concerns...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Beards, Richard?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46You don't get this on University Challenge!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49We'll show you five pictures of famous people with beards.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Can you name the most obscure of these five? They're all men!
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Thanks. Let's reveal our five famous beards and here they are. We have got...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21There we are. Five famous people with beards.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Colin and Dot, you've played best so far
0:26:23 > 0:26:25so you go first.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31We're going for A, Fidel Castro.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Fidel Castro is A, say Colin and Dot.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Tristan and Laura. Talk us through the board.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Well, B is Abraham Lincoln.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42D is Pavarotti.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44But we don't know what E is.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46But C is the one we'll go for,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49which is the darts player Andy Fordham.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Andy Fordham, say Tristan and Laura, for C.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59So A, say Colin and Dot, is Fidel Castro.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Absolutely right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Tristan and Laura are saying C is Andy Fordham.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said Andy Fordham.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's absolutely right.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Will it beat 39?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Yes, it will.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Very well done, Tristan and Laura.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42After one question, you are up one-nil. Richard?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Fidel Castro versus Andy Fordham.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- It's the sort of thing you only see on Pointless!- Richard,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50that's not a trick of lens, is it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Is that really the size of his arms?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56It's a slight trick of the lens, but not by much, is the truth.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- He's a big fella.- Can I also say, Fidel Castro there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's quite rare that you get dictators into a studio
0:28:03 > 0:28:06for a shoot like that!
0:28:06 > 0:28:07I bet he was thinking,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- "If this goes well, I can give up running a country. I could be a model."- Yeah.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I bet he's still got those shots somewhere.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Yeah.- There's one of him going...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23And B is a studio shot, as well.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I bet there's one of him doing that. That's Abraham Lincoln,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and that would have scored 70 points.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Pavarotti, as you said as well, would have scored you 83 points.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36And the best answer on the board
0:28:36 > 0:28:38is E. Do you know E?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- George Lucas.- It is George Lucas and would have scored eight points.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Well done if you got George Lucas and Andy Fordham. Very impressive.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Don't you think George Lucas looks a bit like a thumb puppet?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Someone's just drawn a face onto a thumb.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57They've put a bit of beard there so you know where the face stops
0:28:57 > 0:29:01and the rest of George Lucas continues.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I don't think that's the case.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06He also has a hairline that starts less than an inch above his eyebrows
0:29:06 > 0:29:08which I find weird.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10But anyway, poor George Lucas(!)
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Poor George Lucas! He has a terrible life!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Thanks very much, Richard. OK, our second question. Here we go.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Now, Colin and Dot, you need to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Our second question concerns...
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Gilbert and Sullivan works. Richard?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We'll give you a list of initials now
0:29:31 > 0:29:34which will constitute operettas on which Gilbert and Sullivan collaborated.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36What do these initials stand for?
0:29:36 > 0:29:42OK, let's reveal our five Gilbert and Sullivan works in initial form. We have got...
0:29:49 > 0:29:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00There we are.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Tristan and Laura, you go first this time.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I'm not sure I know any of them.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Are they operas?- Operettas.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Have you got an answer?- Yes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I think the only one we're sure about
0:30:17 > 0:30:19is The Pirates of Penzance.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22That's the one you're going for.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25TPOP - The Pirates of Penzance.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now, then. Colin and Dot. You can talk us through the board, if you like.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The top one is Iolanthe.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34The bottom one is The Yeomen of the Guard.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It's just deciding which one would be less.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40I think The Yeomen of the Guard.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42We're going for The Yeomen of the Guard.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45The Yeomen of the Guard. So we have Pirates of Penzance
0:30:45 > 0:30:47versus The Yeomen of the Guard.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Tristan and Laura have said The Pirates of Penzance.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 said that?
0:31:04 > 0:31:0620 for The Pirates of Penzance.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Colin and Dot have gone for The Yeomen of the Guard.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Is it right, and if so, how many people said that?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Very well done! You've won that one. That's what you had to do, Colin and Dot.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Very good indeed. That means after two questions it's one-all. Richard?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32The Pirates of Penzance is quite a low score, but it's the highest score on the board.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34The Yeomen of the Guard was right.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37If you'd said Iolanthe, it wouldn't have made much difference.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41TM is The Mikado.
0:31:41 > 0:31:4215.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46The best answer on the board is TBJ. Do you know that one?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I don't know. I can't think what it is.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Trial By Jury.- Trial By Jury!
0:31:50 > 0:31:53That scored two, so very well done to anyone who got that.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Here comes your third question. It concerns...
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Richard?
0:32:03 > 0:32:09For this final question, five clues to facts about the radio programme Desert Island Discs.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13The team with the lowest score goes through to the jackpot round. Best of luck.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17OK. Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Desert Island Discs.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Here they are.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51There we are. Five clues to facts about Desert Island Discs.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Colin and Dot, you go first this time.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01OK. Do we have an answer?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Yes, we do.- OK. This is the decider.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08This will decide who goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14We're going for the broadcaster who became presenter of the show in 2006, Kirsty Young.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Kirsty Young say Colin and Dot. Kirsty Young.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Tristan and Laura, talk us through the board.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Um, we think it's Radio 4.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25We're not sure about the decade
0:33:25 > 0:33:28but we'd guess '40s, I guess.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Maybe... Don't know.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33I think to beat their answer,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36we're going to have a stab at the last one.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42Which is, I think, "Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West."
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I may have made that up!
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Colin and Dot say Kirsty Young.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Is it right, and how many of our 100 people said Kirsty Young.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Absolutely right.
0:34:09 > 0:34:1112 for Kirsty Young.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Tristan and Laura have said Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22It is right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well done. You didn't make it up.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Will it beat 12? Ooh. 37.
0:34:31 > 0:34:3537 for Ernie. Which means, Colin and Dot, after three questions
0:34:35 > 0:34:39you are through to the final two-one. Very well done indeed.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Let's take you through the rest of the board.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44The BBC station it's transmitted on is Radio 4.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Now, if you'd said the 1940s for the decade it was first broadcast,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52you'd now be in the final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55It would have scored two points. 1940s is absolutely right.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- The number of pieces of music each guest chooses is...- Eight.- Eight.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Absolutely right. That would have scored 13 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Well done if you got all five of those. Well played, Colin and Dot.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Thanks very much, Richard. So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head
0:35:10 > 0:35:14is Tristan and Laura. That was tricky.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18We did think we'd go out on a politics question, and we did!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21There you are! Anyway, good news for us is we get to see you next time.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Otherwise, that would have been it. Thanks very much for playing. Tristan and Laura.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Great contestants.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32But for Colin and Dot, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Congratulations, Colin and Dot. You've fought off the competition
0:35:41 > 0:35:43and won our coveted Pointless trophy!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £11,000!
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- AUDIENCE:- Wooo!
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Well, you've done so well. So well. You were our low scorers in the first round.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Second round we had the double pointless.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09But then back you came. A two-one victory in the head-to-head.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11How are you feeling?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I'm actually feeling delighted.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Very best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22We've had three pointless answers on the show today. Just find one more now
0:36:22 > 0:36:24and you'll go home with that £11,000.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27First, you have to choose a category from these five options.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Ooh. Right. Ooh!
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- That's a big "Ooh".- This is where our chemistry together doesn't work right.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- I don't like the thought of Action Films.- I like Action Films.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Chemistry is rubbish for me. - I like chemistry!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- 20th-Century Dramatists I could do. - Not for me.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54OK. You go for it. You choose. I'll go with it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- Action Films?- Yes, we're going with Action Films.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Action Films it is. Let's find out what the question is. Best of luck.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- Thank you.- We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Richard?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17We'd like you to name any actor in any of the Mission Impossible films up to May 2012, please.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21We won't accept Anthony Hopkins, Emilio Estevez and Tom Wilkinson,
0:37:21 > 0:37:26who appeared in the films but weren't credited. It has to be someone who was credited.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Very best of luck.- OK.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35All you need to win that £11,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Tom Cruise is the obvious one. That's going to be last.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48He must have had female co-stars.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Think who he might have had as female co-stars.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54I haven't actually seen any of them. Have you?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Good-looking female co-stars. - Good-looking.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58What about - what's that woman Uma Thurman?
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Has she been in any of the Mission Impossibles? Uma Thurman.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Somebody else. Go with it. Catherine Zeta Jones is with Sean Connery in a similar thing.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Different film.- Who else could Tom Cruise have appeared in in Mission Impossible?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15I wish my husband was here! He's seen them all. He loves the films.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Do I know any? No. Come on. Female leads in the last...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Or go for some baddies.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Alan Rickman, or...- Alan Rickman.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Pierce Brosnan?- Gene Hackman? He's often a baddie.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Somebody else.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Ten seconds left.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36So we'll go with Tom Cruise, definitely last.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Uma Thurman. And what's your one? The baddie?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46OK, I'm afraid that's your time up.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48We were looking for actors in the Mission Impossible films.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I now need your three answers.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK. Tom Cruise. That's a no-brainer.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Uma Thurman.- Uma Thurman.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Alan Rickman.- Alan Rickman.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59OK. Three answers.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Of those three, what's your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Oh. Uma Thurman?- Uma Thurman. - We'll put her last.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- She looks good in a cat-suit! - The least likely to be pointless?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Tom Cruise.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I think, probably... Yes, let's put him first.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Here they are. We have got...
0:39:21 > 0:39:24We were looking for actors in the Mission Impossible films.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Tom Cruise, your first answer. The one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- I think you're probably right.- Yeah.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £11,000.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Let's see how many people said Tom Cruise.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40It's right.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42If this were to go...
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- I was going to say, if this goes down to zero...- No surprise! - No surprise.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55I think we'd have been surprised if it had been any less than 76.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00You have two more chances to win today's jackpot of £11,000.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Colin, what would you do with £11,000?
0:40:03 > 0:40:08I think I'd possibly take my wife on a holiday to China
0:40:08 > 0:40:10for our 30th wedding anniversary next year.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Many congratulations on your 30th wedding anniversary.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Dot, how about you?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Actually, I'm not in favour of cosmetic surgery,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21but I'd love to get my teeth done!
0:40:21 > 0:40:25So if we won, I would get my teeth done!
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Bite the bullet. Excuse the pun!
0:40:27 > 0:40:29OK. Very good. Very best of luck.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's hope one of your two remaining answers happens to be right.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Actors in the Mission Impossible films. Let's hope nobody said Alan Rickman.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41It has to be right, and it has to be pointless. If it's both, you leave here with £11,000.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43How many people said Alan Rickman. Is it right?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Wrong film.- Wrong film.- Die Hard.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Everything is now riding on Uma Thurman.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Which you thought was your most likely shot at a pointless answer
0:40:59 > 0:41:01If it was right.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05OK. Let's see. Uma Thurman. Is it right? Is it pointless?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07How many people said Uma Thurman?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Ooh, bad luck!
0:41:12 > 0:41:17An incorrect answer. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find the all-important pointless answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20But you do still get to go home with a Pointless trophy.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- So very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Well played, Colin and Dot. Tough last category.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Alan Rickman played the baddie in Die Hard.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Uma Thurman in The Avengers.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38But if you haven't seen the films, quite hard to name the actors from that film.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Anil Kapoor,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46best known to British audiences as the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
0:41:46 > 0:41:48in Slumdog Millionaire.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Brendan Gleeson, Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter films.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Dougray Scott would have won you the money.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Eddie Marsan, who's in absolutely everything.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Plays Lestrade in the most recent Sherlock Holmes movies.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Jeremy Renner, Oscar-nominated for The Hurt Locker.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Jonathan Rhys Meyers from Bend It Like Beckham,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08The Tudors, all sorts like that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Maggie Q, star of the US series Nikita.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Philip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for Capote.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19William Mapother, who was in Lost, but is also Tom Cruise's cousin.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Tom Cruise's real name is Tom Mapother.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Well done if you got any of those at home.- Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Colin and Dot.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29It's been wonderful having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Well, Colin and Dot didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:35 > 0:42:37so it rolls over to the next show
0:42:37 > 0:42:40when we will be playing for £12,000.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41- AUDIENCE:- Wooo!
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
