0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30To do that, you need to come up with the answers that no-one else
0:00:30 > 0:00:32could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:41First up, we welcome Rachael and Brian. How do you two know each other?
0:00:41 > 0:00:42- This is my dad. - What do you do, Brian?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm a gas engineer.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- How about you, Rachael?- I'm a student at Lancaster University.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- What are you studying? - English and theatre.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- So drama is going to be great for you?- Hopefully.- Literature too.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Brian, anything you hope really doesn't come up today?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Sport, especially football.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Sport, especially football? That's the opposite of what people usually say.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I've never watched a football life...football match in my life.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Welcome to the show, Rachael and Brian, it's great to have you here.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Next, we welcome Shani and Lloyd. How do you two know each other?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14This is my lovely mother.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- What do you do, Shani? - I'm a dog boarder.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I board dogs in my home.- Phew! I'm so glad you clarified that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I thought it was going to be some extreme form of skateboarding!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Or something a whole lot worse!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Lloyd?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I've just run a half-marathon. I'm training for another one.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Good for you.- Er, play a lot of golf.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39My girlfriend hates it but I'd be out every single day of the week to play golf if I could.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41What are you hoping is going to come up today, Shani?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Er, dogs!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Yes.- Television.- Yeah.- Music.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Lloyd, anything you want to add to that?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Sport, I'd like sport. Especially football.- Especially football.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Possibly Middlesbrough from 1996 to current-day football.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01There we are. Very good indeed. Best of luck, Shani and Lloyd.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04It's great to have you here. Next, we welcome Claire and Nat.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- How do you two know each other? - We're old friends from primary school.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I decided to apply for Pointless, put it out on Twitter
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and Nat said he'd like to join.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- We've sort of been reunited through that.- Really?- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18We haven't seen each other for about six years.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Pointless reunited! That's fantastic.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23We should offer that as a kind of service, shouldn't we?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I would see how it ends before we offer it as a service!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Good thinking, yeah.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31So, Claire, what do you do?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm in limbo between my undergraduate degree
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and going into postgrad, so...
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- You've just finished your undergrad, what was that in?- German at Oxford University.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- What's the postgrad going to be? - Theatre for a year.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- So it's writing, directing and performing.- Nat, how about you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I've still got a year left of studying at Edinburgh University.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What are you studying?- English literature and history.- Very good.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You've got a lot between you.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Is there anything you aren't feeling that confident about, Claire?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Geography outside of Europe, er, sport...
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Nat, how about you?- Also sport, unless it's the Premier League season that's just gone.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Anything before that, I can't really do.- OK.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Claire, Nat, great to have you here. Very best of luck to you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Finally, we welcome back Allan and Evelyn, who were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances
0:03:20 > 0:03:24to reach the Pointless final. This is your second and final chance.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Remind us how you and Evelyn know each other.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We've been married 43 years, we met in the army, back in 1968.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Have you got anyone watching you at home?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35My little grandchildren phoned me up last night.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Can we say hello to them?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- How many have you got?- Five. - What are their names?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Sophie, William, Scott, Katie and Euan.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Wow, excellent. And Evelyn, what happened last time?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We got to the head-to-head
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- and it was...liquid volumes. - Oh, that's right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You went with gill, they went with fluid ounce.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Who would have thought fluid ounce was going to score so little?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What are you hoping is going to come up?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03You were pretty good last time, it has to be said.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Not giving away any secrets!- I like a bit of sport, I think.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Especially football.- Bit of sport. - Very good.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13You won't need it but best of luck to the pair of you, it's great to have you back.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21The fruit of the obscurity tree is ripe and in season
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and he has been filling his basket.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26LAUGHTER
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Hiya.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Hi, everyone.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33APPLAUSE
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Afternoon.- Afternoon to you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Still exciting, isn't it, the jackpot?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Stays with us. - It's getting ridiculous.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46It's the biggest jackpot we've ever had, we cannot give it away, can we?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- No.- We've got four pairs today, only one returning pair -
0:04:49 > 0:04:51that's Allan and Evelyn. They were,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55just to warn the other pairs, they were terrific last time.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Can I just say hello to some people? - Yes, course you can.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I want to say hello to Sophie, William, Scott, Katie and Euan,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- if you're watching at home. Is that all right?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Have you got anyone you want to say hello to?
0:05:07 > 0:05:14If I can, just Katie, Euan, Sophie, William and Scott.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Ooh, well done!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Can I say hello to them?- You see, I'd written them down
0:05:20 > 0:05:21but he did that...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- That was very good. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30To get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:05:32 > 0:05:33those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:36 > 0:05:37the fewer points you will score.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Today's jackpot starts off at an absolutely record-breaking...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's got to go one of these days.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10In this first round, each of you must give me one answer.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17so try and make sure that's not you.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Our first category today is...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37OK, let's find out what our question concerns.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39And it is...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Film characters and their films, Richard.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47In a moment, Xander's going to show you a list
0:06:47 > 0:06:49of six famous film characters.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You need to tell us the name of any film
0:06:51 > 0:06:53that any of these characters have ever appeared in.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's up to the start of May 2012, please.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So any film that any of the six characters you're about to see
0:06:58 > 0:06:59have appeared in, please.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Thanks very much, Richard. Rachael and Brian, you all drew lots before the show today.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07You're going to go first. Our six film characters are...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Now remember, Rachael, you are looking
0:07:24 > 0:07:28for any film which features any of these six characters.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What are you thinking?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Well, quite a few of them are quite obvious.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Er, but I'm going to go for John McClane,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Die Hard With A Vengeance.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42John McClane, Die Hard With A Vengeance.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It's right.
0:07:51 > 0:07:5329.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54APPLAUSE
0:07:54 > 0:07:5629 for Die Hard With A Vengeance.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Well played, Rachael. Good start, the third in that series of films
0:08:02 > 0:08:04with Jeremy Irons as the baddie.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- It's always a Brit who's the baddie. - Always a Brit.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You'd make a brilliant baddie in a film like that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Do you think?- Yeah!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Oh... At that desk, in fact, with that computer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It would be a little bit close to what I do in real life though,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24is the problem, cos I've got all sorts of evil plots, is the truth.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Some of those must be pretty much ripe, ready to go off any minute!
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Yeah, I'm currently gaining computer control of The Shard
0:08:34 > 0:08:35in the City of London.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I'm going to ransom that for 14 billion.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42But I'll let you know by the end of the show how that goes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44OK, thanks very much indeed. Now then, Lloyd.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I know an answer for all of them, I think,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49but I'm trying to get an obscure one.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Er, I think Hannibal Lecter, Red Dragon.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Red Dragon, says Lloyd. Sounds good to me,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Red Dragon.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It's right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:0814, very well done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:1214 for Red Dragon.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15A good answer, Lloyd, very well played.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's a prequel to the previous film, it was shot afterwards
0:09:18 > 0:09:20so they had to make Anthony Hopkins look younger
0:09:20 > 0:09:22than he was in the previous film.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's quite a good excuse, that, isn't it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- To...- Well, if you've had lots of work done.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32You can say, "Oh, I know, but we had to do a prequel to the..."
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- The next series of this, we should do as a prequel.- Yeah!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Let's do that!- Let's do that! - We could get everything done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40We'll come back looking like this...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43People will think they're watching the Weakest Link again!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Claire.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Yes. I do recognise most of the names but I'm going to have to
0:09:51 > 0:09:54go with something that's obvious so we don't get 100, hopefully.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59So I'm going to say Bourne Ultimatum, Jason Bourne.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01The Bourne Ultimatum. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03let's see how many people said it. The Bourne Ultimatum.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's correct.
0:10:11 > 0:10:1320.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14APPLAUSE
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Not bad at all, Claire.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Bourne Ultimatum, good answer. It's the third of the Jason Bourne films.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Now, Allan, the most obscure film you can think so,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28featuring any of these characters.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I know most of them. I'll go Jason Bourne,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33The Bourne Supremacy.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36The Bourne Supremacy, says Allan. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38let's see how many people said The Bourne Supremacy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41It's right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:4727.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48APPLAUSE
0:10:50 > 0:10:5327 for The Bourne Supremacy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The Bourne Supremacy, the second of the Jason Bourne films,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58directed by Paul Greengrass, a good answer.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Fantastic grouping there!
0:11:05 > 0:11:06The best score, obviously,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10was Lloyd's, so Lloyd and Shani looking strong on 14.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Then we come up to the tight grouping, 20, Claire and Nat.
0:11:14 > 0:11:1627 where we find Allan and Evelyn,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and 29 where we find Brian and Rachael.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19You're not far ahead, Brian.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But you are ahead, so we are going to need a low-scoring answer
0:11:22 > 0:11:25from you in the next pass. Best of luck with that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:27 > 0:11:33We are looking for feature films that feature any of these
0:11:33 > 0:11:35six characters, Evelyn.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38You want to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41The high scorers are on 29, Brian and Rachael.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You're on 27. If you can score 1 or less,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, says Evelyn.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Let's see if that's right.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Here is your red line - very, very low.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Let's see how many people said Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom.
0:12:08 > 0:12:0948.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11APPLAUSE
0:12:11 > 0:12:1548 takes your total up to 75. Richard.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Big score there, Evelyn. It's a correct answer though.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19The second of the Indiana Jones films.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Nat, you're on 20.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24The high scorers are Evelyn and Allan on 75.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25If you can score 54 or less,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28you're through to the next round.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31There's a Hannibal Lecter film
0:12:31 > 0:12:35that I'm not entirely sure of the wording of,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37so I'll go for one I'm a bit surer on,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- and say Manhunter. - Manhunter, says Nat,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Manhunter. Is it right? How many people said Manhunter?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Absolutely right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51And you're through, very well done.
0:12:52 > 0:12:546!
0:12:54 > 0:12:55APPLAUSE
0:12:55 > 0:12:57There we are, 6,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00the best score of the pass,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02for Manhunter. Takes your total up to 26.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yes, the first film to feature Hannibal Lecter.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07His name is spelt differently in that film but it's the same character.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's the film that was remade as Red Dragon.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Now then, Shani. We are looking for any films that feature
0:13:13 > 0:13:15any of these six characters.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18The high scorers, on 75, are still Allan and Evelyn.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You're on 14, which means if you can score 60 or less,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23you're through to the next round.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I'm going to let Lloyd down here,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29but is Harry Callahan Dirty Harry?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Let's find out.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Is Harry Callahan Dirty Harry?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36It's right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39And you're through.
0:13:39 > 0:13:4144.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42APPLAUSE
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Takes your total up to 58, Shani. - Well done, Shani,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49the first Dirty Harry film of all, called simply Dirty Harry.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Clint Eastwood, obviously, as Harry Callahan.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Now then, Brian, you are on 29. The high scorers remain Evelyn and Allan on 75.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00If you can score 45 or less,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02you're through to the next round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I was hoping someone would give a Jack Ryan answer,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07so give me a clue to who he is but they didn't.
0:14:07 > 0:14:14So...I will say Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Good answer. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23It's correct.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26You've done it!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Wow! You really have done it. 7.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Great score. Takes your total up to 36.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34APPLAUSE
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yes, from 2008, Indy comes out of retirement
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and his son Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf, is in it as well.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45There's no pointless answers at all but there's a few low scorers.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48The Sum Of All Fears, a Jack Ryan movie,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52would have scored you 1. Sudden Impact, that's a Dirty Harry film,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55would have scored 2. The Dead Pool, also a Harry Callahan film,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57that would have scored 5. A couple of other low scorers,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00we've had Manhunter. Patriot Games would have scored 5,
0:15:00 > 0:15:01another Jack Ryan film.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Magnum Force, another of the Dirty Harry films, would have scored 6.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Hannibal Rising, 7, might have been the film you were thinking of.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The Enforcer, that would have scored 7 as well. Well done if you said any of those.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14At the end of our first round, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'm heartbroken to say, is Evelyn and Allan. You did so well,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19low scorers in every round last time.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21But I got to say hello to the grandchildren!
0:15:21 > 0:15:22There we...
0:15:22 > 0:15:23LAUGHTER
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Allan and Evelyn, it's been lovely having you on both shows,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- you've been fantastic, I'm sorry we have to say goodbye so soon.- We've enjoyed it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Thanks very much for playing. Allan and Evelyn!
0:15:32 > 0:15:33APPLAUSE
0:15:34 > 0:15:37But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round
0:15:46 > 0:15:49so one of the pairs in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I can't really work out which pair it's going to be.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09OK, the question concerns...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Constituencies of UK party leaders, Richard.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19We're about to show you six UK parliamentary constituencies
0:16:19 > 0:16:24on each board. Each of these was the constituency of someone who was a party leader,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27some time in the last 25 years.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29We're going to give you some initials as well.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Can you match the party leader to the constituency, please?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35There'll be 12 to have a go at at home. Couple of them, quite tough.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Thanks very much, Richard. We are looking for the UK political party leaders
0:16:39 > 0:16:40who have held these seats.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42And we have got on our first board...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11OK, Brian, there are the constituencies and the initials
0:17:11 > 0:17:15of the party leaders. Which is the most obscure party leader you can give me?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20None! I think I know the top one so I'm going to have to go for that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's probably a massive score but I think it'll be Tony Blair.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Tony Blair for Sedgefield, let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:17:34 > 0:17:3640.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37APPLAUSE
0:17:37 > 0:17:3940 for Tony Blair.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Yes, prime minister from 1997 to 2007.
0:17:43 > 0:17:50- Lloyd.- Well, I know one definitely.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52And I know another one, I think.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I'm going to go for the one that's a little bit more risky.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I think Yeovil, Paddy Ashdown.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Paddy Ashdown, Yeovil, says Lloyd.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:1120.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Very well done, Lloyd,
0:18:15 > 0:18:1720 for Paddy Ashdown.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well done, good answer. He was previously leader of the Lib Dems
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and the South-West, a Lib Dem stronghold.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- His real name is Jeremy. - Was there already a politician
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- who'd taken the name Jeremy Ashdown? - So he had to change it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31He was born in India but brought up in Northern Ireland
0:18:31 > 0:18:33so when he went to school in England,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35he had an accent so they all called him Paddy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Stands to reason.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41It's like how you got the name "Thickie Armstrong".
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's the same thing, except Paddy, they would call him that.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- It's just a nickname.- Oh, I see, fair enough.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Claire.- Yes.- You're the last person to have this board.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You can talk us right the way through the board and then pick which one you want to submit.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I think the Brighton one would be the highest
0:18:56 > 0:18:58cos I think that's the Green Party leader
0:18:58 > 0:19:00but I can't think of her name.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'd say the other ones would be
0:19:02 > 0:19:04John Major, the bottom one?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Nick Clegg for Sheffield.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I'm going to go for Ming Campbell, but that's only by the initials!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15North East Fife, Ming Campbell, says Claire.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Menzies Campbell. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Absolutely right, Claire.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32That's a brilliant answer, Claire. Very, very well done to you!
0:19:32 > 0:19:343 for Ming Campbell.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Well played, Claire, terrific answer. Joint best on the board.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43He was Lib Dem leader in 2006, 2007.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47He's the only leader on either of these boards to have represented Britain in the Olympics,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- he was a sprinter.- Back in 1884!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Funnily enough, the other best answer you've also given us -
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Caroline Lucas in Brighton Pavilion, as you say,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58the leader of the Greens, would have scored you 3 points.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Huntingdon is John Major, would have scored 29.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You're right about Sheffield Hallam as well, it's Nick Clegg,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06that would have scored you 32.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The best answers on the board, Menzies Campbell and Caroline Lucas.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Well done if you said either of those.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:20:15 > 0:20:173 just scored there by Claire,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19fabulous low score.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Claire and Nat once again looking very strong.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Then we travel up to 20, where we find Lloyd and Shani
0:20:25 > 0:20:28then up to 40, where we find Brian and Rachael. So, Rachael,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32we're going to need a really low score from you as you are the high scorers at the moment.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Very best of luck with that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We're going to put six more constituencies on the board,
0:20:42 > 0:20:43here they come.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44We have got...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16We're looking for the UK political party leaders
0:21:16 > 0:21:17who've held these seats.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Nat, you're going to try and guess the one you think the fewest
0:21:21 > 0:21:24of our 100 people knew. You're the low scorers on 3,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27the high scorers on 40 are Rachael and Brian. If you can score 36
0:21:27 > 0:21:29or less, you are through to the next round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34I know a couple. I'm just trying to work out whether to play it safe
0:21:34 > 0:21:40or not. I'll go for Chingford and Woodford Green,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Iain Duncan Smith.- Chingford and Woodford Green, Iain Duncan Smith,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46says Nat. Here's your red line.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Get below that, you win the head-to-head.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Iain Duncan Smith. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Absolutely right.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Very well done, you're through. Look at that!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Very well done indeed.
0:22:02 > 0:22:0333 that scored you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:0636 is now your total.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Well played, Nat, safely through.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11He's one-eighth Japanese, Iain Duncan Smith.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Is he really?- Yes. Right hand.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16LAUGHTER
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Now then, OK, Shani, so these are the constituencies.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23We want the names of the UK party leaders.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28You're on 20. The high scorers are Rachael and Brian, still on 40. If you can score 19 or less,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29you're through to the next round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33As my husband is from Northern Ireland, I'm hoping
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- that North Antrim is Ian Paisley. - Ian Paisley,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41North Antrim, says Shani. How many people said Ian Paisley?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Absolutely... Ooh, well done!
0:22:50 > 0:22:5419 is exactly what you needed to score,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57it's what you did score, takes your total up to 39. Very well done.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Well played, Shani, the leader of the DUP from 1971 to 2008.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Rachael, I'm sorry to say, you are the highest scorers
0:23:05 > 0:23:08even before you've given your answer. But, here's fun.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You're the last person to have the board,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- so you can talk us through it if you like.- I'm rubbish with politics,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16so I'm just going to have to guess one of them.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Gordon Brown?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Gordon Brown, says Rachael.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31It's right.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3538.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3938, not a bad score at all.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Crucially, two lower than your dad's score in the first pass.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Takes your total up to 78.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well done, Rachael, the good way to leave us, Gordon Brown.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50What's the fact I always say about Gordon Brown when he comes up?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Ah yes, his real name is James Brown.- Yes.- That's right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Why would you change it? That's why I always mention it, cos James Brown would be much more popular.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00He'd still be in power if he'd stuck with James Brown.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yeah, yeah. Let's take a look through the rest, see if anyone got
0:24:03 > 0:24:05all of these at home.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Islwyn is Neil Kinnock, would have scored you 10.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Banff and Buchan, do you know that?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Alex Salmond.- Alex Salmond of the SNP, would have scored 11.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17The best answer on the board, Folkestone and Hythe?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Michael Howard.- Michael Howard, the former Tory leader, absolutely.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- 4 points, that would have scored you. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26So we're at the end of Round Two.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Our losing pair with the highest score,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30it's Rachael and Brian. Dear, oh dear.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That was quite a tough board.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34But we will see you again next time, Rachael and Brian.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35We'll look forward to that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Thanks very much for playing. Lovely contestants. Rachael and Brian.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting,
0:24:44 > 0:24:45as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Congratulations, Claire and Nat, Shani and Lloyd,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55you are now only one round away from the final
0:24:55 > 0:24:59and the chance to play for that jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06You're now going to go head to head.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10The first person to win two questions will play for that jackpot. The difference is,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13you are allowed to confer. If dogs come up, Lloyd,
0:25:13 > 0:25:14you don't have to worry!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16LAUGHTER
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Three-letter animals.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Richard.- What were you just saying?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We're going to show you five pictures
0:25:37 > 0:25:40of animals who are commonly known by a three-letter name.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Can you identify one of these five animals, please? Very best of luck.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Thanks very much, Richard. Claire and Nat, you've played best
0:25:47 > 0:25:50throughout the show so far so you get to go first.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Let's reveal our five three-letter animals. Here they are.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55We have got...
0:26:13 > 0:26:14There we are.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Five three-letter animals.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Claire and Nat, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:26:20 > 0:26:21so you go first.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I only know D and E, do you know any of those?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26B and C...
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Going to take a bit of a risk, we're not sure on this one.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34But I think C might be a...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37gnu, G-N-U.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40C, a gnu.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Shani and Lloyd, talk us through the board.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45D is an emu, isn't it?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47E is a fox.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49B is an elk.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I'm not sure what A is.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Go for B then.- We'll go for B, an elk.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56OK, B, elk.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So we have gnu versus elk.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Claire and...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03So nearly said "gnat"!
0:27:03 > 0:27:04LAUGHTER
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Claire and Nat, you've gone for gnu.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Let's see if that's right and how many people knew gnu.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's correct.
0:27:17 > 0:27:1926.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Now we all know what a gnu looks like.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Shani and Lloyd have gone for elk, let's see if that's right.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31If it is, let's see how many people said elk.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Absolutely right. 26 is what it has to beat.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Oh, 44!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40APPLAUSE
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Very well done, Claire and Nat, after one question,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47you're ahead, 1-0. Richard.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Good answer. Gnu, also known as a wildebeest.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53There it is. Now, A in our three-letter animals?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It's a Maori bird, it's called a kea,
0:27:56 > 0:27:57would have scored you 3 points.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Also known as the New Zealand mountain parrot.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02D is the emu,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05as I think you all knew. That would have scored you 66 points,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07that wouldn't have saved you either. E is the fox.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- What do you think foxy scored?- High.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- 99.- Wow, that is high, isn't it?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question now.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Shani and Lloyd, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Our second question concerns...
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Richard.- We're going to show you the names of five US state capitals,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30but in anagram form.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Can you unscramble these and pick the most obscure?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38OK, let's reveal our five anagrammatic US state capitals. Here they are.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57There they are. Shani and Lloyd, you go first this time.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Go on then, it's your round.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Do you know any others?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07OK, are we going to go with that?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09We're going to go with the third one,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11which is...
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Denver.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Denver. Nerved. Denver.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So, Claire and Nat,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- can you talk us through the board? - No!
0:29:20 > 0:29:24That was the only one I had.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Er...
0:29:26 > 0:29:32Well, I don't know one so I'll just have to say, you know...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Sumo Club, even though the letters don't fit,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I'll have to say Omaha, which is a state capital! But, er...
0:29:37 > 0:29:41OK, Omaha. Omaha, says Nat.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46So we have Denver playing Omaha. Shani and Lloyd said Denver,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48is it right, how many people said it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51It's absolutely right.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Very well done, 42 is what it scored.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I think, in the event, it probably merely had to be right
0:30:01 > 0:30:04because Claire and Nat have gone for Omaha,
0:30:04 > 0:30:08which I think we know is incorrect.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09There we are.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12So, Shani and Lloyd, you did what you had to do.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15After two questions, it's 1-1, very well done. Richard.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Sorry, Nat, not an anagram and not a state capital either.- Really?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- I thought it was Nebraska? - Lincoln, Nebraska.- Oh.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25You'd have done better just unscrambling some words.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Sumo Club is Columbus, Ohio,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29would have scored you 11.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Is A Nut is the capital of Texas, Austin.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Would have scored you 7.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Inlaid Pianos...- San something?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Indianapolis.- Oh, for heaven's sake.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Indianapolis, I know, when you see it!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44That's Indiana. And Covered Pin,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Covered Pin is a pointless answer.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Very well done if you got that.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Any clue at all?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51It's the capital of Rhode Island.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Oh, it's Providence.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Providence, Rhode Island.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Pointless answer, very well done
0:30:55 > 0:30:57if you got that, that was a tough round.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00There we are. Here comes your third question, very well done, Shani and Lloyd.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02You are completely even. Whoever wins this question
0:31:02 > 0:31:05goes through to the final. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Our third question concerns...
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Richard.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I'm going to give you five clues now to facts about horses
0:31:13 > 0:31:16and horse-riding. Can you answer the most obscure of these?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Get into the final for that huge jackpot.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Very, very best of luck to both teams.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Let's reveal our five facts about horses and riding.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Here they are.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01There we are. Five clues to facts about horses and riding.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Now then, Claire and Nat, you go first again.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I know the traditional unit of measurement.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- What's that?- Hands.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I don't know any others.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Er, yeah, we only know the one,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17so we'll just go for that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20The traditional unit of measurement for a horse's height, I believe,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- is hands.- Hands.- Yes.- Hands.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27OK, Shani and Lloyd, talk us through the board, if you can.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30The number of disciplines in a one-day event is three, isn't it?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Dressage, cross-country and show-jumping.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I should know the grey horse.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I can't think who it is.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I should know it, I don't know it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Isn't the polo a chukka? Is that what it's called?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Go for the polo.- We'll go for polo, chukka.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45OK, chukka, you're saying. Chukka.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The periods of play in polo.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Claire and Nat have said hands is the unit of measurement
0:32:51 > 0:32:55for a horse's height. Let's see if that's right and how many people said "hands".
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Ooh, wow, 82.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01APPLAUSE
0:33:01 > 0:33:0482 for hands.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10So, Shani and Lloyd, you said "chukka" is the period of play in a polo match.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Absolutely right. Very well done!
0:33:20 > 0:33:2139.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2539 beats 82.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Which means, after three questions, Shani and Lloyd,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30you are through to the final, 2-1. Richard.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Well played, Shani. Well played, Lloyd, good answer there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Let's take a look at the rest.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37You were right about the number of disciplines in a one-day event,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40it's three. It's just a contraction of the three-day event
0:33:40 > 0:33:43but it's the same three events, dressage, show-jumping, cross-country.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45That would have scored you 22 points.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48The grey horse that won the 1989 Gold Cup, you do know it,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50it's Desert Orchid, of course.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Yes, 15 points.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The breed that comes from three 18th-century Arabian stallions?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59All racehorses are this, it's just thoroughbred.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02All racehorses are thoroughbreds, they all came from three Arabian stallions
0:34:02 > 0:34:04which were imported in the 17th and 18th centuries.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I'm afraid, Claire and Nat.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14You did so well throughout the show.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Er, "gnu", inspired answer there.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I guess had the questions been the other way around,
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- you'd have got Denver, and that was the only one.- That was the only one Nat knew, yes.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26We'll see you again next time, we'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Thanks very much for playing. Claire and Nat!
0:34:32 > 0:34:35For Shani and Lloyd, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Congratulations, Shani and Lloyd, you've fought off all the competition
0:34:42 > 0:34:44and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:52 > 0:34:54our record-breaking Pointless jackpot.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59At the end of today's show, that jackpot stands at...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:03 > 0:35:05We've taken you on a bit of a journey.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08We've been through films, we've been through politics,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10we've been through three-letter animals.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12What would you like to see come up this round?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I'd like sport to come up so I can completely leave it over to Lloyd
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- cos I thought I'd done my bit, I'm going to go home!- You have.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23A good sports question for you. Very, very best of luck.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27The rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You only have to find one now though and you'll go home with that money.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35First, you've got to choose a category, you have a choice of five.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37They are...
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Right, OK...- I know what you're going to go for.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Well, it's not just me, it's you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52No, it's you, you're going to go for football captains...are you?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54We might have a guess at that,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56at least be able to put an answer to it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Well, think about it first. European pop stars.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02I only know British ones, American.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Let's go for football captains.- Yes, we'll go for football captains.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Football captains. - I might surprise you!
0:36:07 > 0:36:11You're going for football captains. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18..as they could.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- Richard.- We're looking for anyone who's ever captained the Scottish national football team,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26according to the official Scottish Football Association website.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28First names and surnames, please.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Anyone who's ever captained the Scottish national football team.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Very, very best of luck, guys.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:36 > 0:36:42All you need to win that £18,750 is for just one of those answers
0:36:42 > 0:36:43to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I can't definitely say I know a lot of captains
0:36:51 > 0:36:55but I can think of a few well-known Scottish players,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57er, that could have been.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03A guy called John Collins played for Celtic, perhaps him.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06John Hendry was a captain. Can you think of any?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Who was it that managed Middlesbrough? Wasn't he a...
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Tony Mowbray?- No, one with ginger hair.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16No, er, yeah...
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Wasn't very good, but...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Yeah, Gordon Strachan. - Gordon Strachan.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21He was definitely Scottish.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23OK, er...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Who else?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33I'm trying to think of any Scottish players, my mind's gone blank.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- John Hendry...- 10 seconds left.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Collins, John Collins, Gordon Strachan.- OK.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Your time's up. So we were looking for captains of the Scottish national football team.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55I now need your three answers.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- OK, we're going to go for John Collins.- John Collins.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Er...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- John Hendry.- John Hendry.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Strachan?- Yeah. Gordon Strachan. - And Gordon Strachan.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- John Collins.- John Collins. We'll put John Collins last.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I think it's probably Gordon Strachan.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Gordon Strachan, we'll put Gordon Strachan first.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Let's put those up on the board in that order, then. Here they are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29We have got...
0:38:29 > 0:38:32So we were looking for captains of the Scottish national team.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37Your first answer, Gordon Strachan, was your least confident answer,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £18,750.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Gordon Strachan, let's see if that's right.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Gordon Strachan.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53It's right.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Your first answer of Gordon Strachan is absolutely bang on the money.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Down it goes, into the 30s, into the 20s.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05you leave here with £18,750...
0:39:05 > 0:39:074!
0:39:07 > 0:39:08APPLAUSE
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Unfortunately not a pointless answer, but quite heartening that, isn't it?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Quite pleased, yes! - Only two more chances
0:39:19 > 0:39:24to win today's jackpot. Shani, what would you do with £18,750?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28I'd probably take my husband off to see the cricket in Sri Lanka.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And buy a kitchen table.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32LAUGHTER
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Lloyd?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- I think a good holiday.- Yes, I think a very good holiday.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Very nice holiday!- Excellent, OK.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Very best of luck. Let's hope one of your two remaining answers
0:39:41 > 0:39:42wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45We are looking for captains of the Scottish national team.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Your next answer was John Hendry.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless
0:39:48 > 0:39:50for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56For £18,750, how many people said "John Hendry"? Is it right?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Bad luck.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Bad luck. John Hendry was not a captain of the Scottish national side.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Everything is now riding on John Collins.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15We're looking for captains of the Scottish national football team.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17John Collins was your third answer.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20You thought this was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23You only have to find that one pointless answer, remember,
0:40:23 > 0:40:27to win the jackpot. So, for £18,750, this has to be pointless.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Let's find out.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Is John Collins right? Is it a pointless answer? Best of luck.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36AUDIENCE SIGHS
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Bad luck.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48but you do still get to take home the Pointless trophy
0:40:48 > 0:40:49so well done for that.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Sorry, guys, these jackpot things do fall fairly randomly.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I think a Scottish pair would have killed for that category.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Let's go through the ones you gave us.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06John Collins played for Scotland but never captained Scotland.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10You're thinking of Colin Hendry, rather than John Hendry. Colin Hendry would have scored 5 points though
0:41:10 > 0:41:12so it wouldn't have been a pointless answer.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You were saying, Lloyd, that your best subject ever
0:41:15 > 0:41:18would be the history of Middlesbrough Football Club, 1996 onwards?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Do you know a player called Stephen McManus?- Yes, yes, I do.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- Yeah.- Of Middlesbrough, captained Scotland.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- My dad is going to kill me. - It was a pointless answer.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30AUDIENCE SIGHS
0:41:30 > 0:41:33It would have won you £18,750.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36That is really, really tough, I'm sorry about that.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38He's never going to live that down!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41For any Scots watching, Danny McGrain is a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Bobby Moncur, Asa Hartford, Maurice Malpas.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46All of those would have won you the money if you'd been here now.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Let's take a look at some more of them.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Bobby Evans, who captained briefly during the 1958 World Cup.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Christian Dailly was a pointless answer, Craig Levein.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Jock Shaw who was captain just after the war,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Paul McStay, of Chelsea, was a captain in the '90s.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Robert Smellie, who was captain... LAUGHTER
0:42:04 > 0:42:07..in 1888, 1889, which I'm sure you got.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Sandy Jardine, the Rangers player, was captain in the '70s.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Tommy Boyd was a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14And Tommy Docherty, perhaps more famous as a manager, of course.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19All pointless answers. There's a few more obscure ones as well. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Tough luck, guys, that's really unlucky.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Oh, dear, Steve McManus.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Shani and Lloyd,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30but it's been fantastic having you on the show, you've played so well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Brilliant contestants, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Shani and Lloyd didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45when we will be playing for...
0:42:45 > 0:42:46AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
