0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:29and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and to do that you need to come up with the answers that no-one else could think of.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Now, first up we welcome Niall and Sinead. How do you two know each other, Niall?
0:00:43 > 0:00:47We went to school together. We actually met on the first day of secondary school.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- First day of school, and you've been friends ever since?- Yep, 20 years.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- 20 years. Where are you from, Sinead?- We're from Belfast. - I thought you might have been.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56So what are you hoping is going to come up today on Pointless?
0:00:56 > 0:01:02I'm hoping for a bit of geography, science, nature, books,
0:01:02 > 0:01:03sci-fi books would probably be my best one,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06but I'm hoping for maybe Booker Prize winners or something like that.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12- OK, very good. Sinead, how about you?- I'm hoping for none of those things, except for books.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Very good. You're going to be quite a good pair. Very best of luck to you, Niall, Sinead.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Next we welcome Carol and Matt. How do you two know each other, Carol?
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- This is my son, Matthew. - Matthew, where are you from?- From Wolverhampton.- From Wolverhampton.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- What do you do there, Matt? - I'm a primary school teacher.- Ah!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Primary school teachers always do well on Pointless...ish.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that?
0:01:35 > 0:01:41I like to go to the gym. I also like most sports, in particular wrestling.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Really?- Yes.- OK. Good stuff.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Now, Carol, how about you? What do you do?- I'm a specialist nurse in Wolverhampton.- A specialist nurse?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Infection prevention. Lots of hand washing.- Very good indeed.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that, Carol?
0:01:55 > 0:02:01When I'm not at work, I like gardening, I like badminton, and I love football.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'm a big fan of Manchester United.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, best of luck to you, Carol and Matt. It's great to have you here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And next we welcome Jay and Hannah. How do you two know each other?
0:02:09 > 0:02:15- We've been friends for the best and probably worst part of about seven years now.- Worst?
0:02:15 > 0:02:20I think I reckon the natural life cycle of a friendship is about seven years, so this might be our swansong.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- You think that Pointless will be the straw that breaks the camel's back? - Probably.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Hannah, where are you from? - I'm from Leicestershire
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but I've just moved back because I've just graduated from university.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Right you are. And what was your degree?- It was a BA in law. - Right, OK. Jay, how about you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I graduated recently as well from an MSc, a master's
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- but I didn't want to finish university and now I'm a civil servant.- OK, very good.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm not going to ask any further. That's fine.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- Hannah, what would you like to come up?- Anything to do with South Africa would be great.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Or penguins. I'm quite good at those. - Jay, anything you're hoping doesn't come up?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Anything that's not superficial, like pop music...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Give me anything about the Spice Girls, I'll be fine.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Anything about what happened, when it happened and who did it, not so good.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Jay and Hannah, a warm welcome to the show. Lovely to have you here.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And finally we welcome back Rob and Callum who were on the show the last time,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14the heroes of the last show in many, many ways.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second and final chance.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Our youngest ever contestants on Pointless, apart from anything else.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And, Rob and Callum, remind us how you know each other.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, we're friends at college. We've just finished
0:03:27 > 0:03:32and over the summer we decided we might as well apply for Pointless and have a go.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Well, and have a go you did! Callum, remind us what happened last time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40By having a go and failing epically. Never watched EastEnders in my life
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and I guessed that Heather Trott was played by Barbara Windsor...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- LAUGHTER - Much to the other audience's amusement too!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Rod, I'm particularly enjoying... Is that like a shooting shirt?
0:03:49 > 0:03:55I've no idea. I just walked into a shop and thought that'd look good on Pointless!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It's kind of made for a new parent, it would be quite a useful... useful patch there.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Rob, what are you hoping will come up today? We have high hopes for you.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I don't want to put any pressure on you, but I have a feeling you might be our finalists.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Probably something on either English or politics, probably UK politics or American politics,
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- anything else, probably not.- Callum? - Music, mainly alternative rock.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So if there's anything by Muse or Biffy Clyro, they'd be quite good for me.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27OK. Very good indeed. Anything you're hoping doesn't come up, Callum?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Well, soaps isn't going to come up, so I'm glad for that.- No, no, no.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- If it's TV or film, isn't it?- Not the Spice Girls.- Not the Spice Girls? - Not the Spice Girls.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39OK. Very good. Well, best of luck, Rob and Callum. It's great to have you back on the show.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Only one person left for me to introduce. He has the sound of the Pointless tower going down to zero
0:04:46 > 0:04:50and a massive round of applause as his alarm clock. That's how he starts every day.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Hiya.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- How are you? Are you well? - I'm very well.- Excellent.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04We've only got one returning pair today, that's Callum and Rob, the youngest people ever on the show,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08but they were terrific. A lot of people talking about the Spice Girls in your little chats,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11which must be the most they've ever been mentioned. Anyone who sticks around to round 2
0:05:11 > 0:05:15might either live to regret or love their love of that sort of music!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- OK, brilliant.- Round 2.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- Ooh! That's actually the alarm clock noise I've got.- Good.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Every morning I wake up to...ooh! - An audience? - LAUGHTER
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Followed by laughter.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29- That's nice.- Yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Good stuff. All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37In order to get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot
0:05:37 > 0:05:40our contestants need to find the obscure answers our 100 people didn't get,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44so the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you'll all score.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Now, what everyone's trying to do, of course, is find a pointless answer,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49this is an answer that none of our 100 people knew,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53and each time that happens we will give £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59Now, Suze and John won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19so try and make sure that's not you. OK, our first category today is...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27World geography. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Regions and their modern-day countries.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Richard?- Yes. On each pass, we're going to show the name of seven well-known areas or regions.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51You just need to tell us in which country will you find that area or region, please.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Give us a nice obscure answer you're going to score fewer points.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Give us an incorrect answer that'll be 100 points. There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03and as always by country we mean a sovereign state which is a member of the UN.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Very, very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Now, then, Niall and Sinead, you drew lots before the show today. You are going to go first.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So we are looking for the modern-day countries in which these regions are located.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16And we have got on our first board...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'll read those one last time.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33There we are, seven regions. You need to give me the name of the country
0:07:33 > 0:07:36that you think the fewest of our 100 people would have known.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41OK. I'm going to go for Crimea and Turkey.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Turkey, says Sinead.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Crimea, Turkey. Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Bad luck, Sinead. I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- which means you've scored the maximum 100 points. Richard? - Sorry, Sinead.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02A brave attempt from that first podium,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04but I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Now, then, Carol...
0:08:07 > 0:08:13OK. I think I will go for Umbria and it will be Italy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Umbria, Italy says Carol.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Umbria, Italy. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23It's right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30APPLAUSE
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well played, Carol. Good start to the show.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The capital is Perugia, Perugia the capital of Umbria.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Jay?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm having that awful moment when I know the answer, but I'm doubting myself.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I've been there and my mum's from the country,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51so I'm pretty sure that Kerala is in India.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Kerala, India says Jay. Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said India.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Absolutely right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:06Very well done, Jay.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Excellent score.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, the most densely populated state in India.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18It's very interesting. People, I think, underestimate how hard it is to come on this show,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21because as Jay says, his mum is from there, he's been there,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24but your brain won't let you think it's a correct answer.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It can be very, very tough, especially in this opening round.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Indeed. Now, Rob, you're the last person to have this board. You can talk us through it, if you like.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36I was going to go for Kerala, actually, but unfortunately he got there before me.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I think I know where Crimea is, but I'm not going to hazard a guess,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46because I know the Crimean War was between Russia and England, so I imagine it's somewhere around Russia.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'm probably going to play it safe with New England and USA.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55New England, USA says Rob. Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yeah, New England's a pretty big score.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11That's one of the six States in the Northeast of the United States.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16What would you have gone for for Crimea, Rob, if you'd had to risk it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Probably say Mongolia.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- It's actually... Do you know the answer to this one?- Ukraine.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24It is Ukraine. Absolutely right. Would have scored 5 points. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30- Hannah, do you know Eastern Cape? - I do, it's my home away from home, South Africa.- Absolutely right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Sorry it's not on your board. 29 that would have scored you.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Brittany is France of course. Would have scored 75, the biggest answer up there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- And Thessaly...what do you reckon? - Greece.- Absolutely right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44So Crimea is the best answer on that board. Well done if you said that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Very much the best score on that pass.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So Hannah and Jay looking pretty strong at this point.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Then up to 34 where we find Carol and Matt,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57then up to 62 where we find Rob and Callum.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Then, I'm afraid, up to 100 where we find Sinead and Niall.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, Niall, we're going to need some really good low scoring from you in the next pass.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16OK, we're going to put seven more regions on the board and here they are.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'll real those all one last time.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Remember we are looking for the modern-day countries in which these regions are found.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Callum, you're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Now, the high scorers are still Niall and Sinead on 100, you're on 62.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So if you can score 37 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:11:53 > 0:12:00I recognise some of them and no country is coming to mind and I knew one on the last board.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02The only thing I can say
0:12:02 > 0:12:08and it's because it's got the word California in it, so I'm going to say Baja California is the USA.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12But it's going to be 100 and I'm going to look like a fool again.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17You're not going to look like a fool at all, Callum. Let's see, USA.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20If you can get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:12:20 > 0:12:27Baja California. Is it in the USA, how many people said it if it is?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Bad luck, Callum. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you 100 points.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Takes your total up to 162.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Mind you the round is still young. Anything can happen in the next three answers. Richard?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yeah, absolutely right. Unlucky, Callum. As I said with Jay,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49you know what? Sometimes when the board comes up and you're stood up there, it can be very tough.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I'll give the correct answer for that at the end of the pass. - OK, thanks, Richard.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Now, Hannah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The high scorers at the moment are Callum and Rob.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You're through to the next round anyway.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake them.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06It's a tough board and I don't know any of them, apart from one which could be one or the other,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10so I'll have to have a guess, but thanks to Jay that's OK.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16So I'm going to go Algarve and I'm going to go Portugal.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Portugal, Algarve says Hannah. Portugal, Algarve.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22There's no red line for you, you're already through, but let's see how many people said Portugal.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26It's right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Takes your total up to 80.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Yeah, another big scorer, Algarve. It's in the south of Portugal, bordering on to the Atlantic.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Now, then, Matt. You are on 34.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47The high scorers on 162 are Callum and Rob and they are out of your reach.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- You are through to the next round. - OK. The board doesn't look too bad.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I've been to one of the places, but I don't think that'll be pointless,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00so I'm going to have another go at Baja California cos I think that's Mexico.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Baja California says Matt, Mexico.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Absolutely right.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Very well done indeed!
0:14:19 > 0:14:248 for Baja California. Takes your total up to 42. Richard?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Yeah, well played, Matt. Good answer. It's at the top of Mexico, actually borders on to California.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's home of the most crossed border in the world
0:14:31 > 0:14:34which is at Tijuana between the United States and Mexico.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Niall, moment of truth.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42The high scorers are Callum and Rob on 162. You're on 100.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46If you can score 61 or less, you are through to the next round. Talk us through the board.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52I know Andalusia is Spain. I think Transylvania is Romania.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I think Mato Grosso is either Brazil or Argentina.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59And I'm assuming Cappadocia is Greece, maybe.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And I think Sarawak is either Indonesia or Malaysia.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06But I need to play it a bit safer, I think.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm going to go for Transylvania and Romania.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Transylvania, Romania says Niall.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said it. There is your red line.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Get below that, you are through to the next round. Romania.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23It's correct.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26You've done it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:3334, takes your total up to 134. Sees you through to the next round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Well played, Niall. It was originally part of Hungary, Transylvania,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39but was ceded to Romania in 1920.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Dracula's castle was going to be in Austria in the original drafts of Dracula
0:15:43 > 0:15:46but moved to Transylvania. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Niall actually took us through it rather well. Andalusia is Spain, you're absolutely right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52That would have scored 45.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Mato Grosso is Brazil. 2 points that would have scored you.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Cappadocia, it's not Greece. That one is Turkey.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03That would have scored 9.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Sarawak, you're absolutely right. It's Malaysia.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09That would have scored 3. So Mato Grosso is the best answer on that board.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Well done if you got that.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our first round, the pair who'll be leaving us
0:16:14 > 0:16:18with a high score of 162, I'm afraid, it's Callum and Rob.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Oh, dear, oh, dear! I'm sorry, Callum. That was a really tough board, that second one.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26There wasn't really that much in it, but I'm afraid you are the high scorers,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30so we have to say goodbye to you. But thanks so much for playing. Great contestants, Callum and Rob.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31APPLAUSE
0:16:32 > 0:16:35But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round 2.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Now obviously there's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47so one of the teams in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Carol and Matt, on the strength of that first round, I don't think it's going to be you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Very good answering there. Baja California particularly, Matt.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Well, very best of luck to all three pairs. Your category for round 2 is...
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:12 > 0:17:19OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22as they could, sister acts. Richard?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yes, we're looking for the name of any band or duo
0:17:24 > 0:17:27who've had a UK top 40 hit up to the beginning of May 2012
0:17:27 > 0:17:32who have the word sister or sisters in their title, please.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37So any band or duo who have sister or sisters in their title and have had a UK top 40 hit.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Very best of luck. See how many of these you can get at home as well. There's a few.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45OK. Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Niall,
0:17:45 > 0:17:50we are looking for a band with the word sister or sisters in their name,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51who've had a UK top 40 hit.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57I know a couple, but I think I need to take a risk for this round and I'm going to do Swing Out Sister.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Swing Out Sister says Niall. Swing Out Sister.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07It's right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Very well done indeed.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- APPLAUSE - Great answer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Swing Out Sister.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Good answer, Niall. Very well played. Probably best known for Breakout, do you remember that?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Yes. You remember Swing Out Sister? Sort of slightly jazz, poppy trio.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30THEY SCAT THE TUNE
0:18:42 > 0:18:43# Breakout! #
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Carol, your go.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Carol?
0:18:56 > 0:19:04Well, I do know a few. I think I will go back in time, show my age, my seniority,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- and go for the Beverley Sisters. - The Beverley Sisters says Carol.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said the Beverley Sisters.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's correct.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Good answer, Carol.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Good answer, Carol. Joy, Teddie and Babs, the Beverley Sisters. They all had the same birthday,
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- May 5.- Weird, isn't it?- Two of them were twins. So that's not weird.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- That's less weird.- That's less weird, but the other one had the same birthday.- They were sisters?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- They were sisters, yeah. - They were real sisters? - Yeah, the Beverley Sisters!
0:19:43 > 0:19:48I know, but there were bands with Brothers in their names who were by no means brothers.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Yeah, like the Righteous Brothers. - Indeed. They're the very ones I'm thinking of.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Swing Out Sister, they were three sisters all called Swing Out.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Elaine, Joyce and Deirdre Swing Out.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Joyce?- Yeah, Joyce Swing Out. - Joyce Swing Out?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07That's the worst name anyone's ever had to make up on the spot.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Now, then, Hannah?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I did just have a mind blank but something's just come to me, thankfully.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- I'm going to say Scissor Sisters. - Scissor Sisters says Hannah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Scissor Sisters. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it if it is.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's right.
0:20:32 > 0:20:3348 for Scissor Sisters.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Safe answer, Hannah. Again not real sisters. Only one of them's even a woman.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41None of them are scissors.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Their biggest hit, I Don't Feel Like Dancin', a big number one hit in 2006.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Now, then, Niall and Sinead,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54this time round, the best score of the pass is yours.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Lovely low score of 8, then up to 28 where we find Carol and Matt,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00then up to 48 where we find Hannah and Jay.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01So you're all on 8s.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Hannah and Jay, you are the high scorers,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06so, Jay, we need a really good low-scoring answer from you in the next pass.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08We have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Best of luck with that. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20OK, so remember we are looking for any acts with the word sister or sisters in their name
0:21:20 > 0:21:23who've had a UK top 40 hit. Jay?
0:21:23 > 0:21:30I think in the back of my mind is a band that is called Shakespears Sister.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Shakespears Sister says Jay. Well, look, you're the high scorers on 48.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38You're going to have to hope that Shakespears Sister exists and is a low-scoring answer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Best of luck. No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Let's see Shakespears Sister, is it right and how many people said it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's right.
0:21:53 > 0:21:5617, not bad. Takes your total up to 65.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Could be enough to keep you in the game, Jay.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Yeah, well played, Jay. Their biggest hit was Stay which was another huge number one single.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05That was Siobhan from Bananarama and Marcella Detroit.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09And they were named after a Smiths song which in turn was named after a Virginia Woolf essay.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Unless they names themselves after the Virginia Woolf essay which is also possible.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Just cut out the Smiths altogether?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Matt?
0:22:18 > 0:22:24A couple that others have said I was going to go for. I think I've got an old one as well.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Hopefully, listening to the radio with my mum and dad when I was young is going to help me.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think there's a group called the Pointer Sisters.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- The Pointer Sisters says Matt, the Pointer Sisters.- I hope.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40The high scorers on 65 are Jay and Hannah. You're on 28 which means you want to be scoring 36 or less.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44There's your red line. If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Pointer Sisters. Is it right and how many people said it if it is?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Very well done, Matt! You're through.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Takes your total up to 48.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Well done, Matt. They had big hits with Jump and I'm So Excited.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- They were real sisters.- They were.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Sinead, the high scorers on 65 are Jay and Hannah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15You're on 8. If you can score 56 or less, you go through to the head-to-head.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20OK, most of my answers have now gone, but one has just came into my mind.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22I'm going to go for Sister Sledge.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Sister Sledge says Sinead. Sister Sledge. There is your red line.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30get below that, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Let's see if Sister Sledge is right, let's see how far down the column it goes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Well done! You've done it!
0:23:42 > 0:23:4543 takes your total up to 51.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Yes, Lost In Music, We Are Family, He's The Greatest Dancer, lots of huge hits from Sister Sledge.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I have to say very well done to all the teams here.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I felt sure we'd get at least one 100 score. You picked the top five answers off the list here.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03The only big answers that nobody said, funnily enough, were the Sisters of Mercy, the Goth band,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07would have scored 10 and Twisted Sister the American heavy metal band would have scored 10 as well.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Apart from that everything very, very obscure.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11There's the Kaye Sisters which would have scored 2,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14but every single other answer is pointless. Let's take a look.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17A lot of these bands are from the late '50s, early '60s,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19sort of one-hot wonders.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I only know one thing about the England Sisters, and that is they are the same as the Dale Sisters.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26They just changed their name.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Again a couple of older acts here.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The most sisterish answer of all, they had a one-hot wonder,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Sister2Sister, whose hit was called Sister.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38So very well done if you said them.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42And a couple more.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of round 2 our losing pair with the highest score
0:24:48 > 0:24:53is Jay and Hannah. We will see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing, Jay and Hannah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02But for the two remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting with the head-to-head.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Congratulations, Carol and Matt, Niall and Sinead.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You are now only one round away from the final and the chance to play for our jackpot
0:25:14 > 0:25:16which currently stands at...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24You're now going to go head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions
0:25:24 > 0:25:29will be playing for that jackpot, but the big difference is you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46TV game shows, Richard.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Yes, it's going to be a good head-to-head all round this. Nice questions and two good pairs here.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54We're going to show you five pictures now of classic TV game shows.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Can you just identify the game shows, please? Good luck.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01OK, let's reveal our five TV game shows and here they come. We have got...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19There we are, five TV game shows.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Now, then, Carol and Matt, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you first.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26OK. THEY CONFER
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I know B, C and E.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- I think B would be the best answer. - B's The Golden Shot.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- We think we know four of them.- OK. - We're going to go for the one that I don't know,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- because I think it'll be the better answer.- We're going to go for B,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44which we believe to be The Golden Shot.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47B, The Golden Shot.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49B, The Golden Shot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Now, then, Niall and Sinead. You can talk us through the board, if you like, do all your thinking out loud.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56We think A is The Price Is Right.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01C's The Crystal Maze. D we think is Take Your Pick and E is Play Your Cards Right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07- But we think they've chosen the best answer on the board so...- We'll go for D as Take Your Pick.- Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10OK, D Take Your Pick.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15So we have B The Golden Shot and D Take your Pick.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Now, then, Carol and Matt have said B is The Golden Shot.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32INAUDIBLE
0:27:32 > 0:27:3841. Now, Niall and Sinead, you have said D is Take Your Pick.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Take Your Pick. Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Oh!
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Oh, bad luck, Niall and Sinead. Carol and Matt, well done.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53After one question you are up 1-0. Richard?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well played, Carol and Matt. D is the best answer on the board, actually.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58It's not Take Your Pick.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00That is Steve Jones and it's The Pyramid Game.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01That would have scored you 8 points,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03so very well done anyone who got that at home.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- A would have won you the points as well. What did you say for A? - The Price Is Right.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It's not The Price Is Right, it's the quiz of the week from Norwich,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13it is Sale Of The Century.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Nicholas Parsons there, would have scored you 26 points.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20C is The Crystal Maze, that's Richard O'Brien,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22later presented by Edward Tudor-Pole.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24That would have scored 70 points.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26That's a big score, isn't it?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29And E is Play Your Cards Right, another big scorer, though,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31that would have been 67.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- So The Crystal Maze the biggest scorer on that board.- Lovely!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Marvellous. Here comes your second question.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Now, then, Niall and Sinead, you need to win this question to stay in the game.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Very best of luck. Here it comes. It concerns...
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- Richard?- We're going to show you five clues now to facts about the mission to the moon of Apollo 11.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Can you give us the most obscure answer. Good luck.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Apollo 11 and here they come.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Niall and Sinead, you go first.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26THEY CONFER
0:29:28 > 0:29:32We'll go for the lift-off rocket was named after Saturn, I think.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Saturn say Niall and Sinead. Saturn.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Now, then, Carol and Matt, you can take us through the board if you like.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43OK. Well, the commander of the mission we think would be Neil Armstrong.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45We're not sure what year they were born.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50THEY CONFER
0:29:51 > 0:29:55We've got a bit of indecision about which Apollo it is, so we're not sure about the date now.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00So I think we'll play safe, safer, and go for the US State where the mission was launched from,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04and they're usually from Texas, so I think I'm going to go for that.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- You're going to say Texas. - It might be wrong.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Texas, the US State where the mission was launched from.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11So we have Saturn versus Texas.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Niall and Sinead, you said Saturn was the name of the lift-off rocket.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said Saturn.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Absolutely right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:3717, lovely low score there. Carol and Matt, you said Texas
0:30:37 > 0:30:39is the US State where the mission was launched from.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said Texas.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Bad luck, Carol and Matt. Very well done, Niall and Sinead.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53That's what you had to do. After two questions, you're back in the game, it's 1-1.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Yeah, Mission Control, of course, in Texas. "Houston, we have a problem," and all that stuff,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01but they actually launched from Cape Kennedy in Florida.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05And that would have scored you 45 points, so it wouldn't have won you the point.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Saturn, Saturn V, of course, being the rocket. That's a very good answer.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11The commander of the mission was Neil Armstrong.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15That would have scored 16 points, first man to walk on the moon.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Do you know the first man to urinate on the moon?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Buzz Aldrin.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22He's thinking, "I've got to do something."
0:31:22 > 0:31:25How did you...? I thought they had to wear spacesuits.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27He didn't go behind a bush!
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Oh, I see! He did it in his spacesuit?- Yeah, yeah.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40He might have written Buzz in the moon dust!
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Now, that would've been cool! - That would've been cool.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47All the astronauts were born in 1930.
0:31:48 > 0:31:502 points that would have scored you.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55All three of them achieved that extraordinary event younger than we are now.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Your father, Neil Armstrong...
0:32:04 > 0:32:08..by the time he was your age, he had walked on the moon and come back.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12And the US President at the time of the mission that was Richard Nixon.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17That would have scored 23. So the year they were born is the best answer there, a terrific answer
0:32:17 > 0:32:19if anyone got that.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23So here comes your third question, the decider.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Whoever wins this question goes on to play for our jackpot.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:32 > 0:32:35The 1997 General Election. Richard?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38We're going to show you the names of five MPs now who were first elected to Parliament
0:32:38 > 0:32:40in the 1997 General Election.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44We're only going to show you the first and last letters of their first and surnames.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Can you pick the most obscure of these? Very best of luck, both teams.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52OK, let's reveal our five MPs elected in that year and here they are.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I'm going to read those again without the blanks.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43There we are. Now, then, Carol and Matt, you go first this time.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45THEY CONFER
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I think I know four.
0:33:52 > 0:33:58I think I'm going to go for the top one which is, I believe, Oliver Letwin.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Oliver Letwin, you're going to say, Oliver Letwin at the top.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, then, Niall and Sinead. Which one do you want to go for?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Talk us through the board if you like.- OK.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11We think we know all five. Our first pick is gone now.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16We think the second one is Charles Clarke, and the third one Martin Bell,
0:34:16 > 0:34:21Jacqui Smith and Vince Cable.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- Who'll be the most obscure? - I think from that Charles Clarke.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31OK, you're going to go with Charles Clarke. So we have Oliver Letwin versus Charles Clarke.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Carol and Matt said Oliver Letwin.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it. Oliver Letwin.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It's right.
0:34:50 > 0:34:5212 for Oliver Letwin.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Niall and Sinead have gone for Charles Clarke.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many of our 100 said Charles Clarke.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01It's right.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Oh, you've done it! Very well done indeed. 6 for Charles Clarke!
0:35:11 > 0:35:16Very well done. Which means after three questions Niall and Sinead are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Well played, both teams. Terrific head-to-head. There is actually one answer that would beat both of them,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25and that's Jacqui Smith, which would only have scored you 4 points.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30Martin Bell would have scored you 15
0:35:30 > 0:35:32and the biggest answer on the board by some way, Vince Cable.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34And he would have scored 47 points.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37But two very good answers. Well played, both teams.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head
0:35:41 > 0:35:45is Carol and Matt. Some very, very good answering there.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Texas, you were unlucky. You were thinking of Houston, weren't you? - Yeah. My mum said Florida,
0:35:49 > 0:35:54but we got kind of mixed up with the Apollo missions. I thought Neil Armstrong would be a lot higher,
0:35:54 > 0:35:59- to be honest with you, so...- Well, maybe our 100 got mixed up as well. - Yeah, maybe.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Every chance they might have done.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Anyway, it's been great having you on the show. We look forward to seeing you next time.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You did so well. Low scores in every round.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09I'm sure you'll come back and do just as well if not better next time.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Meantime, thanks very much for playing, Carol and Matt.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Thank you. Good luck.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17But for Niall and Sinead, it's now time for our Pointless final!
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Well, congratulations, Niall and Sinead.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is...
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well, there we are. Very exciting head-to-head there.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49You came from 1-0 down to win 2-1.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Did you ever think you were going to make it all the way through to the final
0:36:52 > 0:36:54in your first Pointless appearance?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Well, we're pretty pleased. - We're happy to be here.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Of course, you started with a high score of 100 as you came out the traps there.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Well, very, very best of luck. The rules are simple.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer. We haven't had any on today's show.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12You only have to find one now and you will leave with that jackpot.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16First, though, you've got to choose a category. You have a choice of five options. They are...
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- Not Katie Price.- Not country music stars.- Or European theatre.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35- You're really good at sports and all that.- I thin we'd both be good at classic literature.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37It's not really...
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Will we do that? - Let's go for classic literature. - We'll go for classic literature.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:46 > 0:37:49to name as many works by William Golding as they could.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Works by William Golding, Richard?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Yes, we're looking for the title of any published works by William Golding,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57please, not including his radio plays.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59When it comes to collections of short stories,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02we want the name of the collections, rather than the individual short stories.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06And where he has published books in trilogies, we want the names of the individual books,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10not the names of the trilogies, so we wouldn't accept the To The Ends Of The Earth trilogy, for example.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- Very, very best of luck. - OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:38:15 > 0:38:19and all you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- I know Lord Of The Flies.- Lord Of The Flies is the only thing I know.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Do you know anything else that he put together?- No.- Think of anything we did in school.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Lord Of The Flies would have been the only thing.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41We'll have to think of something, something like Brothers And Sisters or...
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Brothers In Arms or something like that?- That's Ernest Hemingway.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Er...- Yeah.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Any other author but this!
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Brothers In Arms, The Island, something like that, and Lord Of The Flies.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- Did he write any movies and direct anything or...anything that would have been an adaptation?- 20 seconds.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Er...think of famous movies. That might be a way to go.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09- Castle or something that, maybe one-word answers or something.- Yeah.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- The Runaway, something like that. I'm trying to think of other famous books.- Lord Of The Flies...
0:39:15 > 0:39:21- Brothers in Arms...- 10 seconds left. - The Runaway.- The Runaway.- OK.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26OK, have you come up with your three answers? We'll stop the clock.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30We were looking for works by William Golding. I now need to know what your three answers are.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Lord Of The Flies.- Lord Of The Flies.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- The Castle and The Runaway. - The Castle and Runaway.- Yeah. - OK, there we are.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42Three answers. Of those three, I think I know which is probably your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Lord Of The Flies, we'll put that last. Of the other two, which one do you want to put first?
0:39:46 > 0:39:52- The Castle.- The Castle. OK. Let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59OK, so we were looking for works by William Golding.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01The Castle was your first answer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08The Castle. Let's see if it's right, and if it is let's see if anyone said it.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11No. Bad luck.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15I think you'd have been quite surprised if that had started going down!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18But there we are. Unfortunately not a pointless answer
0:40:18 > 0:40:21which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26Just in case you were to win that £1,000, Niall, what would you do with it?
0:40:26 > 0:40:30I think I'd go on a big holiday, put it towards that, Spain or something.
0:40:30 > 0:40:37- Sinead?- I'm getting married next year so the money would come in handy for our wedding.
0:40:37 > 0:40:43Many congratulations. Let's just hope one of your two remaining answers might win that jackpot.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48OK, we are looking for works by William Golding. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Runaway.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53It has to be correct, obviously, then it has to be pointless for you to win that £1,000.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55But let's just see, did anyone say Runaway? Is it right?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Oh, bad luck!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02OK, so your last chance. Everything is riding,
0:41:02 > 0:41:06as I think you knew it probably would, on Lord Of The Flies.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09We're looking for works by William Golding. This is your third and final answer.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Let's see, Lord Of The Flies. I think we know it's right.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Let's just see how many people said it.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Well, it's still going down. If this goes all the way down to zero...
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- APPLAUSE - 52.- Oh, well.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Well, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38but you do still get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done for that.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- So, Richard...- Yeah, that was a very tough jackpot category.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48You played terrifically well all the way through.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Our 100 seem to have done spectacularly well as well. There are only four pointless answers.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Even ones like The Brass Butterfly, The Double Tongue all scoring points,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59so if you said them well done but not a pointless answer. There are only four.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02And very well done to anybody who got any of these.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07A journey he and his wife took up the Nile in 1984.
0:42:07 > 0:42:13Poems ss a collection of poems he published more than 20 years before Lord Of The Flies.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16And finally...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22..which is collected journalism and short essays.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26If anybody got any of those at home, very well done. That's very impressive.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Niall and Sinead,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- but it's been wonderful having you here. Thank you both so much. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34APPLAUSE
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Well, Niall and Sinead didn't win our jackpot today which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:40 > 0:42:42when we will be playing for...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
