0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:27 > 0:00:29and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40We start by welcoming back Susie and Julie, who were on the show last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Everyone gets two chances to reach the final. This is your second and final chance.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Susie, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We went to uni together. We were in the same class.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- Julie, what happened last time? - It turns out that we know actors, but not where they were born.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- It was tough, though.- Pretty tough.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What do you hope will come up today, Susie?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I like music, I like festivals.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03'80s, a bit of '90s.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Julie, how about you? - Music as well, I think.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08That's definitely our strong suit.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- This time, we've got to see a lot more of you. A lot more. - That's the plan!- Good plan.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Susie and Julie, best of luck. Now, Krish and David, welcome to you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17How do you two know each other?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- We're actually like very close friends.- You're LIKE very close friends?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Yeah, it's a bit iffy at the moment! - What do you do, Krish?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm a student at the University of Oxford, studying law.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What do you want to do at the other end?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I want to sell my soul and become a commercial lawyer in the City.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Brilliant.- That's how to sell yourself to a crowd!- Yes!- Wow.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- David, what do you do?- I've just finished my second year at Durham, studying French and Latin.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49French and Latin? So you've got a year out in Ancient Rome?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- No, actually in Toulouse, but it should be really nice. - That should be excellent.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Very good.- Nice weather. - A warm welcome to the show, Krish and David.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Great to have you here. Next, we welcome back Sarah and Mary who were on the show last time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Two nurses from Cornwall.- Yep.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Sarah, what happened last time?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11I did very well. I got 200 points in the two rounds. We went out on the second round.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Yes.- And I got a word ending in R-E-NT that actually ended in L-E-N-T.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Yes.- It was Richard's fault!
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- It always is!- He didn't change our words. It was entirely Richard's fault.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm not disputing that, Mary!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I have to say, even though I'm being directly attacked,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I still prefer you to commercial lawyers!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Thank you!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You're not going to argue with a nurse!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Mary, what are you looking forward to coming up today?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Nothing, really!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I'm about absolutely useless at everything.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Really?- Yes.- But useless and pointless are very similar.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I did get a right one in the first one.- Yes, you did.- Yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- It'll be fine.- If you ask me the same question, I'll be better this time!
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- OK. You sing in a choir together. In various choirs.- Two choirs.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- And you posed naked in a calendar. - We did. Semi-naked.- Semi-naked.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- It wasn't distasteful.- OK.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11That I completely believe, yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Sarah and Mary, lovely to have you back on the show. Best of luck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Finally we welcome Ian and Louise. Ian how do you know each other?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Louise is my daughter.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- What do you do, Louise?- I'm a conservation and design officer.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Excellent. Ian, how about you? - I'm a retired teacher.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- What did you teach?- Geography. - Geography.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35If you had to teach anything, I'd say geography, history and English,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39they're the three that vie, but geography is very easily applicable to Pointless.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I thought you meant if you were a teacher, that's what you'd like to teach.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- No, I'd be rubbish. - Yeah, you'd be terrible.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- What would you teach if you were a teacher?- I could teach swimming. I used to have a whistle.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55And say, "Oi! Oi!" Pretty much all that the guys that taught me swimming did.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57That's terrific.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ian, what are you hoping is going to come up?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05'60s, '70s music, films, maybe.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Anything from the '60s and '70s, my era.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11OK. What, you just switched off after the '70s? What was it?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Yes.- Too busy teaching relief rainfall in Equatorial... - Something like that, yeah!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Very good. Louise, what are you looking forward to coming up?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I'd quite like films. Anything from the '30s and '40s.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Hollywood, the golden era of Hollywood.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'm hoping somebody's going to take care of whatever happened after 1979 in your partnership!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It's great to have you on the show, Ian and Louise.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39There's one person left to introduce.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42His knowledge is like an illness, and there's no cure for obscure.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya!- Sounds good, that!
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Hello!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon. - How are you today?- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02We've got two returning pairs today, but we didn't see much of either pair last time.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Susie and Julie, we lost almost in a heartbeat, didn't we?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And Sarah and Mary stayed around for a bit longer
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but it didn't go brilliantly for them in Round Two.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So it could be quite an open field today, I think.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Rounds One and Two are both fiction of very different types.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20If you get through both rounds, you've done very well.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23They'll test very different ends of the fiction curve.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Thanks. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31To get to the final and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So the fewer of our 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you'll score.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Ben and Rob didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54so we add another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10In this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Try and make sure that's not you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Our first category today is...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23TV. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who second.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33OK. And the question concerns...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Fictional spouses. Richard?
0:06:37 > 0:06:42In a moment, Alexander will show you a list of six famous TV characters,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44all of whom got married more than once.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48We need you to tell us the first name of anyone any of these six people got married to.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Any of the spouses of the six people you're about to see.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Very best of luck.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Susie and Julie, you all drew lots before the show and today you're going to go first.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01OK. The six TV characters are...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Just name any person who's been married to one of those characters.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Susie.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Um, I know a few of them, I think.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Deirdre.- Deirdre.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Deirdre, says Susie.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Is it right? If so, how many people said Deirdre.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44It's right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56That's a big old score to start us off with.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Ken Barlow's third wife, Deirdre.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00David.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Um, yeah, I'm really not too sure about any of them.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08But I think I'll go for Ross Geller
0:08:08 > 0:08:12and he married, I think, the Englishwoman, Emily.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Emily, says David. Emily.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Is it right, and if so, how many people said Emily.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's right.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Very well done, David. 13.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Good answer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Yes, a very good answer. Played by Helen Baxendale.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Ross's second wife.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40They had those episodes over in London, didn't they?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The Duchess of York and Richard Branson and everyone turned up.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- A lot of fun.- Yeah, a lot of fun. - A lot of fun.- Thanks, Richard.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Now, then. Sarah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53We're after the first name of any character who's been married to one of these TV characters.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Laura. Ian Beale married Laura.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Laura, says Sarah. Is Laura right and how many people said it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Very well done indeed, Sarah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Lowest score so far. Six for Laura.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Well done, Sarah. Ian Beale's third wife. She came into his household as a nanny.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Now, then, Ian.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I think I can give two or three answers
0:09:26 > 0:09:31but I'm going to try Blake Carrington from Dynasty.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Blake, says Ian. Blake. Let's see if Blake's right and if so, how many people said Blake.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39It's right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:5019 for Blake. Good score.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well played, Ian. Alexis Carrington's first husband played by John Forsythe.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The only person to appear in every single episode of Dynasty.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Of which there were how many?- 220.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Wow.- It's a lot, but we've done 400 of these, so...
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Yeah, I know, but the storylines on these are pretty tame
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- compared to that.- Do you think?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11You wait till Round Two, mate!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Again?- I've got something pretty special lined up.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Sarah, a lovely low score there.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Sarah and Mary looking very strong indeed on the back of that score of six.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Up to 13, where we find David and Krish.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Then up to 19 where we find Ian and Louise.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Then Susie and Julie. 65!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Julie, you know what you have to do.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44OK. We are looking for TV characters who've been married to any of these characters.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Louise, you're on 19. The high scorers on 65 are Julie and Susie.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52So a score of 45 or less sees you through to the next round. What do you think?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There's a few that I'm unsure of.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59There's one that I was hoping nobody else would say.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And that's Lilith from Frasier.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Lilith.- From Frasier, yes. - Lilith, says Louise.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Here is your red line. If you get below that, you'll avoid being the new high scorers.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11How many people said Lilith? Is it right?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18You've done it! Very well done.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It continues to go down. Five!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Best score so far, Louise.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Takes your total to 24. Very well done indeed.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Terrific answer, Louise. Well done. She played his psychiatrist.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Excellent. Now, Mary. How well did Sarah do in that first pass?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38She did well, but I don't watch soaps.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- They're not all soaps.- Aren't they?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Most of them are.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52Well, I should think if Ian Beale's been married loads, perhaps he married somebody called Janet.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56So I'll go with Janet.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Mary. Mary, are you still a nurse?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- No, only on occasions. - It's a worry, isn't it?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- No, I think it's fun. - It is fun, yes.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- I still chase her round the bed! - I bet you do. I bet you do.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17There's your red line, Mary. If you get below that red line with Janet,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19somebody's smiling on you!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Is Janet right? If it is, let's see how many people said Janet.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's right!
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Very well done. You're through to the next round, Mary.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And it scores one!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It takes your total up to seven.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I love these boarded rounds, Richard!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Very well played, Mary. Terrific.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Remind us again who Janet was married to?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52God knows!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55She was actually the second wife of Ken Barlow.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Oh, yeah!- There we are. Very well done, Mary. That's fantastic!
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Krish, you're on 13. The high scorers are still Julie and Susie on 65.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07If you can score 51 or less, through you go.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09How are you feeling about this board?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, I'm a massive fan of Friends.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16My mind has gone completely blank over one of them, which I think would be a good answer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23I'll have to go with a reasonably safe answer and it's Rachel who married Ross in Las Vegas.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Rachel, says Krish. There's your red line.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28If you get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Rachel. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Absolutely right.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36You've done it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Well done, Krish. Takes your total up to 43.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Well played, Krish. Safe and sound. Ross's third wife.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49They married whilst drunk in Vegas.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Julie.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- I have bad news.- Yep.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You are the high scorers even before you've given your doubtless brilliant answer.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59The 65 was just too high.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05However, maybe you've got a pointless answer, and you could leave a legacy for those left.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Maybe.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I've never seen Dynasty. Not a clue.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16I remember Frasier getting married, but I was hoping no-one said Lilith.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I remember Ian married Cindy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22On the basis that we're going out,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24following Mary I might just give a random guess.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So I am going to say Sarah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Sarah. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Sarah?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Worth a shot.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43There we are. An incorrect answer scores 100 points, taking your total to 165. Richard?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47You see the difference there between a brilliant answer and a disappointing one.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But well done for trying to get £250 on the jackpot. That's nice.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52There's three pointless answers here. Only three.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Let's take a look at them.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Nanette was Frasier's first wife.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Sean, who was married to Alexis Carrington
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and Terri, who was Paul Robinson from Neighbours wife.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Other low scorers. The lowest scorer for Ken Barlow was Janet.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07So it was a very good answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10The lowest answer for Ross Geller would have been Carol, six points.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13And the lowest answer for Ian Beale was Laura.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So another very good answer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Thanks, Richard. At the end of the first round, the pair leaving us with a score of 165
0:15:20 > 0:15:24is Julie and Susie, one of our returning pairs.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Again first round, I'm sorry to say. - Yep.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm so sorry. We're saying goodbye to you far too soon.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33It's been great having you on the show. Thanks for playing, Julie and Susie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But for the remaining pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47At the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye to another couple.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52You have to keep those scores low like Sarah and Mary did that round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What about Janet?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I could say that I'm brilliant and knew it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01But I'd be a liar.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05And I have a niece called Janet, so it seemed a good name to chuck in.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You should share the jackpot with her if you win it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- Yeah.- No.- No.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- I like her family, but not that much!- I told you she was bossy, didn't I?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- OK.- She's keeping the trophy and I'll have the money.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- She'll have both trophies? - I'm not greedy. I don't mind.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21You get one trophy each.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'll have the trophy and the money as well, then!
0:16:23 > 0:16:27So you're not greedy, but you'll have the trophy and the money as well.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28MOUTHS
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- OK.- Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- There we are.- That's the other end of that curve.- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK. The question concerns...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Dickens characters and their novels. Richard?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00On each pass, we'll give you the names of six characters created by Charles Dickens.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You just need to tell us which novel or novella they appeared in.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05A nice obscure answer will score fewer points.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11There are 12 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15We are looking for the novels or novellas in which these Dickens characters appeared.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We have got...
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37There we are. Six Dickens characters.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41We need to know the novel or novella they came from. Krish?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I've never read a single Dickens novel, unfortunately.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52I don't really read for fun, so this doesn't bode well for me at all.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Um, I'm going to go for...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Miss Havisham, Bleak House.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Bleak House says Krish for Miss Havisham. Is it right,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and if it is, how many people said Bleak House.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Bad luck, I'm afraid, Krish.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11That's an incorrect answer which scores a maximum 100 points. Sorry.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Sorry, Krish, but on the upside,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16if you don't read for fun, you're going to be a brilliant corporate lawyer!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Mary?- Do I go safe or do I not?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll go for Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oliver Twist, says Mary, for Bill Sikes.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Is it right? How many people said Oliver Twist.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It's right.
0:18:46 > 0:18:4840 for Oliver Twist.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Absolutely right. Bill Sikes, the horrible villainous house-breaker murderer.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54All sorts of terrible things.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Louise. The novels or novellas these Dickens characters appeared in.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03You're the last person to have this board, so talk us through and fill in any blanks.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08The one that I'm really confident on is Miss Havisham,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10cos I've just finished reading Great Expectations.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12But I think that might be quite high.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The ghost of Jacob Marley I think is A Christmas Carol.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20And then I've got an inkling that Mr Micawber is David Copperfield.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25I know there's a film of David Copperfield and WC Fields is in it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I think he plays Mr Micawber.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29So it's a bit of a guess.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31But I'll go for David Copperfield.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34David Copperfield you're saying for Mr Micawber.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Let's see if it's right, and how many people said it if it is.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's right. Very well done, Louise.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Five!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49There's your reward. Brilliant score, Louise.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Great answer. Five for David Copperfield.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Well played, Louise. A terrific answer. You're absolutely right,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00played by WC Fields in a film from the mid-'30s.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Let's go through the rest of the board. I bet you're good at this.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Louise has already given us a couple of them.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Miss Havisham, right, it was Great Expectations.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09And right again, it would have scored more. It scored 35.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12And the ghost of Jacob Marley is from A Christmas Carol.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14That scored 38.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Little Nell?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- The Old Curiosity Shop.- Absolutely. That scored nine.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21James Carker is the best answer on that board.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24James Carker is a pointless answer.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- I don't know.- Well done to anyone at home who said Dombey and Son.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Ah.- Dombey and Son, pointless answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32We're halfway through the round.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Let's look at the scores. Louise, well done. Five, a cracking score.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Louise and Ian looking very strong.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Up to 40 where we find Mary and Sarah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And then up to 100 where Krish and David are to be found.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51David, it's going to require a miracle and also a very low score from you in the next pass.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I'm hoping I can dig us out of this hole...- OK.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- ..that Krish has landed us in! - Best of luck with that, David.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07We'll put six more Dickens characters on the board. Here they are.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'll read those one last time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29We are looking for the Dickens novels or novellas
0:21:29 > 0:21:31in which these characters appeared.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Ian, you want the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38There's only two I'm pretty sure of.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'm going to go for Sydney Carton
0:21:40 > 0:21:46who, I think, was the hero of A Tale of Two Cities.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Sydney Carton, A Tale of Two Cities. Here's your red line.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56A Tale of Two Cities. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Absolutely right and you're through.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10A great score, Ian, and a fabulous total of 13.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Very well done.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Very well played, Ian. They're pretty good on that last podium!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Good scoring. He's the drunk who redeems himself by taking someone else's place at the guillotine.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- He's the man who says... - Far, far better.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- 'Tis a far, far better thing than I have ever done.- Indeed.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Sarah?- Yeah.- You're on 40. High scorers, David and Krish on 100.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If you can score 59, you're through.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38There's one that I know for definite, and one that I think I know.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41With my track record, I should go for the definite.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46But I'm going to go for the bottom one. Pip, I think he's Great Expectations as well.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Let's see. Great Expectations. How many people said it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Absolutely right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Through you go. Very well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:0373. Our two nurses go through to the head-to-head.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Yes, the novel's narrator and hero, Pip.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Very good answer.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Now, then, David. I have grave news.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Yeah.- We'll be saying goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Even before you give your answer. Can you talk us through the board?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21The only one I know for definite that's left
0:23:21 > 0:23:23is Ebenezer Scrooge and A Christmas Carol.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Apart from that, I really have no idea.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30It's going to annoy my dad, cos he's read loads of Dickens.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32So, funnily enough,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34one of the characters he goes on about
0:23:34 > 0:23:36is this lawyer who's really, really horrible.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40So I'm going to guess Thomas Gradgrind, Bleak House.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Thomas Gradgrind, Bleak House, says David.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Taking a punt. Is that right, and if so, how many people said Bleak House?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Bad luck.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Bad luck, David. An incorrect answer.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56It scores 100 points and takes your total up to 200. Richard?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00The name of the lawyer you're thinking of in Bleak House is Tulkinghorn.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Maybe who your dad means. And Thomas Gradgrind is a northern industrialist in Hard Times.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Thinks children should only be taught facts. Three points.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11John Jarndyce is from?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Bleak House.- Bleak House. - Absolutely right. Four points.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Ebenezer Scrooge, right, was A Christmas Carol, but would have been a big scorer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20No point in going for it.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And Sarah Gamp is a pointless answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Very well done if you said - name a Dickens book.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Little Dorrit.- Martin Chuzzlewit.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Martin Chuzzlewit. Pointless answer. Well done if you got that.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our second round, the losing pair with the highest score
0:24:37 > 0:24:41is David and Krish, our newest members of the 200 club.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43That wasn't a great round for you, that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49- No.- Not really at all!- Yeah. - We look forward to seeing you again next time, David and Krish.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Meantime, thanks very much for playing, David and Krish.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59But things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Congratulations, Ian and Louise, Sarah and Mary.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09You are only one round away from the final
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and the chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20You're now going head-to-head and the first pair to win two questions
0:25:20 > 0:25:23will be playing for the jackpot.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25But you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30So, Sarah and Mary, it was Round Two last time. Here you are.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Into virgin territory. Oh, the head-to-head.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36And Ian and Louise, you've played fantastically.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Very strong, solid play.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Lovely low scoring all the way through.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- How are you feeling?- We had some good topics earlier.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Gracious of you to say that. Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58OK. Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Country Outlines. Richard?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06We're about to show you five pictures of outlines of countries
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- along with... I've just realised Ian's a geography teacher!- So did I!
0:26:09 > 0:26:14We're about to show you the outlines of five countries with some of their major islands as well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Can you identify the most obscure of these five, please.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five countries. Here they come.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44There we are. Five countries.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Ian and Louise, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48so you go first.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58We think D is the Republic of South Africa.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00You think D is the Republic of South Africa.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Sarah and Mary.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Talk us through the board.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Mary thinks A is Japan.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15I thought B was Germany, but no, it could be France.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17C is definitely Italy.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19And E, I haven't got a clue.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I thought that was Brazil, actually.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But we're going to go for C because we know it's right.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You're going to say C, Italy.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28So...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33We have D, South Africa, and C, Italy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Ian and Louise said D was South Africa.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Is it right, and if it is, how many of our 100 said it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Very well done indeed. Seven!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Very good indeed, Ian.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Sarah and Mary have said C, Italy. C, Italy.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Italy for C.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Absolutely right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- 84.- We were right!
0:28:11 > 0:28:12You were right.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15But Ian and Louise were "righter"!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Ian and Louise, after one question, you're up one-nil. Well done.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23A proper Geography teacher's answer, the Republic of South Africa. Well played, you two.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Any ideas on A, Ian and Louise?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Chile.- It is Chile, absolutely right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33It's got a 5,000-kilometre border with Argentina.
0:28:33 > 0:28:3523 points that would have scored.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38B is France. The ladies were right.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40But that would have scored 43.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Surprisingly low.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45And E, it's not Brazil, it's India.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49That would have scored 38 points.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52The big gap in the middle of South Africa is the kingdom of Lesotho,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54which is entirely surrounded.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Thank you, Richard. Let's find out what the second question concerns.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Here it comes.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Filmed versions of Stephen King works. Richard?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11You're about to see the names of five actors who've appeared in at least one Stephen King adaptation.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14We'll put a year next to their name.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Can you tell us the Stephen King adaptation that actor starred in in that year. Best of luck.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23OK. Let's reveal our five actors in Stephen King adaptations.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Here they are. We have got...
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I'll read those one last time.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55There we are. Sarah and Mary, you go first this time.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06I think Tim Robbins is The Shawshank Redemption.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Tim Robbins, The Shawshank Redemption, say Sarah and Mary.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Ian and Louise, the board is yours.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I think Louise knows them all.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16I don't know the John Travolta one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I might kick myself when I hear it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I think Jack Nicholson's The Shining.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24River Phoenix, I think, is Stand By Me.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26And Kathy Bates is Misery.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Shall we go for Misery, cos I'm not 100%.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33We'll go for Misery, Kathy Bates.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34You say Kathy Bates, Misery.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37So we have The Shawshank Redemption playing Misery.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Sarah and Mary, you said The Shawshank Redemption.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Is it right, and if it is, how many of our 100 said it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:5819. Good answer.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Ian and Louise have said Kathy Bates, Misery.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- It's the one where she saws his leg off.- I wasn't expecting that at all.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17That side-swiped me. Sarah and Mary, very well done to you.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22You've won the point. You're back in the game. One-all after two questions.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Yes, that's a sneaky one. She was in Misery, and won an Oscar for it. But it was in 1990.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29And the film she was in in 1995 was a pointless answer.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It was Dolores Claiborne. Absolutely right.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35She plays the title role there. A pointless answer. Tough luck.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38It's especially tough because you were right about River Phoenix.
0:31:38 > 0:31:44He was in Stand By Me and would have seen you to the jackpot round. It would have scored ten points.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Jack Nicholson is the biggest scorer. The Shining, of course.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49That scored 43 points.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53And a young John Travolta was in Carrie.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55That would have scored seven points.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Some good films there.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01So it comes down to a third question. A decider.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Our third question concerns...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12ABBA singles.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Richard?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16We'll show you the names of five ABBA singles now.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18They're all in anagram form.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Can you unscramble them and pick the most obscure.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Whoever gets this point is into the jackpot round. Best of luck.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25OK. Thanks very much.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Let's reveal our five ABBA singles in anagram form. Here they come. We have got...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'll read those one last time.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Ian and Louise, you get to go first again this time.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I think...
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I think we'll go for Winner Takes It All.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Link A Stealthier Newt.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Link A Stealthier Newt - Winner Takes It All, say Ian and Louise.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Sarah and Mary. - We were going to say that one.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Over to you. The board's yours. Talk us through the board.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Have you worked them all out? - The first one is Waterloo.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I haven't got a clue about the third or the fourth,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26but the second one's Fernando.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28You're going to say Fernando.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30So Winner Takes It All plays Fernando.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Ian and Louise say The Winner Takes It All.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Is that right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said The Winner Takes It All.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's very right.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Ten! Brilliant!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Ten for The Winner Takes It All.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Now, then. Sarah and Mary, you have gone for Fernando.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Ten is what you have to beat. How many people said Fernando? Is it right?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Absolutely right.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Oh!- 41.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1641. Which means, Ian and Louise,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19after three questions you are through to the final two-one.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Very well done indeed. Richard? - The Winner Takes It All, indeed.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25There was only one answer that would have beaten that, so well played.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Let's take a look. Wear Loot, that's Waterloo.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Truer Purpose. Have you got that?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34No.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- You'll kick yourself.- Super Trouper. - Absolutely right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41It's annoying when they come up.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Now, Loyally Revalue Moon is a pointless answer.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47A pointless answer. An ABBA hit.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Any ideas, anyone?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Any ideas in the audience?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- MAN:- Lay All Your Love On Me.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Lay All Your Love On Me. Absolutely right.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58It is indeed. Look at that.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Brilliant.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Very well done. So, our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:06 > 0:35:11it's the end of the line for Sarah and Mary. It's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Huge entertainment value. You've done so well.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Right through to the head-to-head, this round.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Thanks so much for playing. It's been lovely having you on the show. Sarah and Mary.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26But for Ian and Louise, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Congratulations, Ian and Louise. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:34 > 0:35:36and won our coveted Pointless trophy!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55You've done so well. Your first appearance on Pointless.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57You've sailed through to the final.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- A real team effort there, as well. - We're a good team.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Very good. The rules are simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08We haven't had any pointless answers on the show today. Find one now and you'll leave with that money.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12First, you have to choose a category. You have a choice of five options. They are...
0:36:23 > 0:36:26There's only one I feel comfortable with.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28And that's Countries and Capitals!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Maybe Tennis Stars.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36- But certainly not...- Irish Playwrights, I could only name two or three.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I'd struggle after that.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- I won't be good with Space. - Space, no.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Tennis Stars I could have a guess. Countries and Capitals.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Countries and Capitals it is.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:55 > 0:36:58..as they could. Richard?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01This is one to think about. We want the name of any country whose usual English name
0:37:01 > 0:37:04starts with the same letter as the name of its capital.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08We'll take the short form, so leave out the word "the" that appears in the name of some countries.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12So any country that begins with the same letter as its capital, please.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16As always, by a country we mean a sovereign state which is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Very best of luck.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Thanks very much, Richard. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26All you need to win that £2,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Three really obvious ones. Mexico, Luxembourg, Brazil.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Taipei, Taiwan. - Oh, that's a good one.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Baghdad.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Italy...
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- I'll try and do South America.- OK.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Argentina, Buenos Aires.- Lima, no.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Chile, Santiago.- Bogota.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59No.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Asuncion, no.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Mexico. Oh, you said Mexico City.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Asia. Japan, obviously not, no.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10India. Jakarta. No.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Pakistan, Islamabad, Bangladesh, Dacca.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Singapore. Is that a country?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Singapore City? Is that a city, Singapore City?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21What's Malaysia? Kuala Lumpur.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Oh, yeah.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Ten seconds left.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25China, no.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Moscow. Soviet Union.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33South Africa...
0:38:33 > 0:38:35OK. Your time is up.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38We wanted countries whose capital cities begin with the same letter.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- I now need three answers from you. - Taiwan.- Taiwan.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- I would go Luxembourg.- Yep.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Yep. And then Mexico.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- What's the other one? - Or Brazil? I don't know.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Brazil. That's better. Brazil. Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56So Taiwan, Luxembourg and Brazil.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- It's got to be Taiwan.- Yes.- Taiwan. We'll put that last.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- And your least likely, Brazil I'm guessing.- Yes.- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Let's put those on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17Countries whose capital cities begin with the same letter as the country.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22Brazil you thought was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,000. Let's see.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Brazil. How many of our 100 people said that?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33It's right.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37It's right. Let's see how far down the column this is going to take you.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41If Brazil takes you to zero, you can leave immediately with £2,000...
0:39:41 > 0:39:4314.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Brazil.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Ian, what would you do with £2,000?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Buy a very posh atlas, I think!
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Louise?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01A nice holiday.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Very good. It's a good place to go.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Luxembourg is especially good.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Luxembourg.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13It has to be right, it has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Let's see how many people said Luxembourg.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23It's right. Brazil took us down to 14.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Luxembourg is taking us down through the thirties, into the twenties,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31into the teens. If this goes down to zero, you leave here...
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Ooh!
0:40:40 > 0:40:42You've halved the score.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43We're down to seven.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:47 > 0:40:53Everything is now riding on Taiwan. We're looking for countries whose capital begins with the same letter.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Your third and final answer, the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer. Taiwan.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02To win the jackpot of £2,000, this has to be pointless. Let's find out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Taiwan. Is it pointless? Good luck.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Ah. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important answer.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23But you do still get to take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So very well done for that.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Yes. Sorry about that. Singapore which you mentioned would have been a good answer. That scored three.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Luxembourg. There's another couple of small European countries you could have gone for
0:41:42 > 0:41:44that would have been pointless.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47If you'd gone for Andorra, Andorra La Vella,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50or San Marino, San Marino the capital. Both were pointless.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's see some more pointless answers, though.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54The first one is Andorra.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Barbados, Bridgetown the capital there.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Bujumbura is the capital of Burundi.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Djibouti, the capital is Djibouti.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Georgetown, Guyana.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Male, in the Maldives.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Mozambique, the capital Maputo.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Niger, the capital Niamey.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13There's San Marino. Another couple you could have had - Brunei, The Marshall Islands,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Papua New Guinea, which is Port Moresby.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Sao Tome and Principe and Vanuatu.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Some people say Vila is the capital. Port Vila or Vila.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25All of those pointless answers. Very well done if you said any of those at home. Very impressive.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Ian and Louise.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing. Brilliant.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Well, Ian and Louise didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42so it rolls over to the next show where we'll be playing for £3,000.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
