0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. A very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:42- Couple number one.- Hi. I'm Amy. This is my fiance, Dan. We're from Moseley in Birmingham.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48- Couple number two.- I'm Lindsay and this is my dad, Ivor. We're both from Southampton.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Bill and this is my friend, Gail. I'm from London, she's from Colchester.
0:00:54 > 0:01:01- And our fourth and final couple. - I'm Sam, this is Ashley, my friend from the University of Chichester.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05These, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Thank you all very much indeed.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We'll find out more about you later.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17Only one person left to introduce. He's Jeeves to my Wooster, Kirk to my Spock, Bert to my Ernie.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya. Hello.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30- Oh.- Oh.- So... - So then.- Joint-biggest jackpot in Pointless history.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Yeah.- If we get a pointless answer, it's the biggest.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- These are momentous times.- Exciting. We've only one returning pair, Ivor and Lindsay.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45They're going to be strong, but anybody here could walk away with a load of money.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Something else unique today - have you spotted it?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52After 450 shows, I've got a new chair!
0:01:52 > 0:01:58- You've got a new chair! Look at it.- Can you believe it? - It's ribbed!- Look.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- LAUGHTER - That is lovely. You sit yourself back in that chair.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07That chair, I happen to know, we've actually bought that.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The previous one we had to hire.
0:02:10 > 0:02:17- Lean back.- I can't lean back. I could never lean back on my old chair.- No, you couldn't.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19AUDIENCE "Ooh"
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Look at the comfort! - I'm going to do the show from here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Anyway, massive jackpot.- Massive jackpot, brilliant new chair.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I know. Who's not watching? - Thanks, Richard.
0:02:32 > 0:02:39All our questions have been put to 100 people. Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45Everyone wants a pointless answer which no one gave. Do that and we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Natalie and Daniel didn't win it last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Today's jackpot starts off at £20,000!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09In this round I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18OK. Our first category today is... London 2012.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:30 > 0:03:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many nations who won gold at the 2012 Paralympic Games
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- as they could. Richard? - Simply looking for any nation that won at least one gold medal
0:03:43 > 0:03:49at the 2012 Paralympic Games. We won't accept Team GB, although we won loads.
0:03:49 > 0:03:55OK, thanks very much indeed. Amy, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- What do you do?- I work in a bookshop.- And in your spare time?
0:04:00 > 0:04:07I like to read, cycle on my bike, we like to go to gigs when we can afford to, so yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10You're a fiancee. How long have you been engaged?
0:04:10 > 0:04:16- Just over a year and a half? - Yeah, we got engaged at Glastonbury.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- During which set?- No set. It was a sunset.- Aww!
0:04:20 > 0:04:25That's the best kind of set. And that plays every night as well,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- which is great. Now then, Amy. Did you watch the Paralympic Games? - Some.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- Some.- We'll have to play it safe and just say Ireland.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Ireland says Amy. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's right!
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Six!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Well done.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Very good stuff, Amy. Six for Ireland.- Well played.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Eight golds they got. Eight golds, three silvers and five bronze.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Excellent. Now then, Ivor. Remind us what you used to do.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11- I used to be involved in insolvency work. - But the other fun thing...
0:05:11 > 0:05:18The fun thing was we had restaurants and bars in Majorca for quite a few years and that we did enjoy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:25- Yeah, I bet. What was it called? - We dealt a lot with the Irish and Rosemary, my wife,
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- she said we'll call it Rosie McIvor's.- Very good. Good stuff.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Now then, Ivor, let's have a Paralympic gold-winning nation from 2012.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43- Jamaica.- Jamaica says Ivor. Let's see if Jamaica's right and how many people said Jamaica.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's right!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Six is our best score.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Where's Jamaica going to go? It's pointless! Very well done!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Fantastic.
0:05:57 > 0:06:04That adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £20,250
0:06:04 > 0:06:10- and into the record books. - Never had a jackpot that big. We've had 20 grand before.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15And we all have Alphonso Cunningham of Jamaica to thank for it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19A javelin thrower. He won their one gold at the 2012 Paralympics.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25Thanks, Ivor. You go down in the annals of Pointless. It scores you no points.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Gail. What do you get up to, Gail, in Colchester?
0:06:29 > 0:06:35Em, well, I like painting. I do watercolours and some acrylics.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- And I've also done commissions for people's pets.- Very good.- Dogs.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47- You do it from photographs?- Yes. - You can't get a dog to sit. I know you CAN get a dog to sit.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51That's one thing you can get a dog to do, but to sit in that sense.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Did you watch the Paralympic Games? - I'm afraid I didn't.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- So this is a bit of a stab in the dark.- It's a bit tricky. So I'm going to try...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04between two...
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- I'm going to say China. - China says Gail. Let's see if it's right and how many said China.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's right!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh!
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Wow. 77 for China, Gail, but it was right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- Yes, that's a relief.- Richard? - I named Jamaica's gold medallist. I won't do the same with China.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- There were 95 golds. 95.- Wow.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- A lot of golds.- A lot of golds. Now then, Ashley, welcome.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43- Great to have you here. You are studying at Chichester.- Yes. - What are you studying?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Sport and exercise psychology. - Sport and exercise psychology!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- This is hand-picked for you. - It's quite high, yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58- So what did you get up to this summer?- I worked at the London 2012 Games.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Wow. Wow.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- For the Paralympics as well? - No, it was just the Olympic Games.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12I worked at Wimbledon. I was a bin man.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Excellent! So I'm hoping you'll have a great answer.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21- We've had one pointless answer. See if you can find another. - I'm going to go with Ukraine.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Ukraine says Ashley. Is it right? How many people said Ukraine?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Oh! Very well done. That's a great score.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Second best score of the round so far. Three.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- They had a very good Paralympic team. They won 32 golds. Fourth in the medal table.- Wow.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- Yeah.- Very good indeed. We're halfway through. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:08:55 > 0:09:03The best score was Ivor's lovely score of nothing there. Ivor and Lindsay look pretty strong.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Up to three with Ashley and Sam. Up to six for Amy and Dan.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Gail, quite a long way up to 77, where we find you and Bill.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17Bill, we need some canny scoring and we'll hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their place at the podium?
0:09:23 > 0:09:30OK, we are looking for nations who won gold at the 2012 Paralympic Games.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Sam, you're also studying at Chichester.- I do the same course. - The same course?- Yes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- Very good. What do you like to get up to?- Em, sport, basically.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- So this question should be OK, hopefully.- OK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50You're in a pretty good position. Ashley's left you on three.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Bill and Gail are on 77. A score of 73 or less will see you through.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Right. I don't think it'll be pointless, but I'll go for Brazil.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Brazil says Sam. There is your red line. Below it, you are through.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brazil. Is it right?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It's right.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13And you're through. Very well done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:1612.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2212 for Brazil takes your total up to 15.
0:10:22 > 0:10:29Good work. They finished seventh on the medals table with 21 golds in all.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Now then, Bill. Bill, welcome to Pointless.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- You're retired. What did you used to do?- I was in the travel business.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- As an agent?- Travel agent, tour operator, hotel reservations.
0:10:42 > 0:10:48- So you've been everywhere. - Quite a lot of places. - Did you watch the Paralympics?- No.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- OK, so another stab in the dark. - Absolutely.- OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56We've had some very low scores. You're our high scorers on 77.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Do you think you can find a really nice low score?
0:11:01 > 0:11:07I've got something in mind. It's either going to be 100 or quite low.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- What's it going to be?- Italy. - Italy says Bill.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16There's no red line for you. Let's see. Italy - is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's right.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Either 100 or a low score, said Bill. Lets hope it's low.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28It is. Eight. Very well done indeed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:3185, your total.
0:11:33 > 0:11:369 golds for Italy. Good answer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42Thanks very much. Now, Lindsay, remind us. We discovered last time that you have three children.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- I do, yes.- They, I imagine, take up all your time now, do they?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Yes. About 99.9% of my time! LAUGHTER
0:11:50 > 0:11:57OK. You've had a little bit of time to think about gold-winning nations in the Paralympics.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Have you got a brilliant answer?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'm going to go for Australia.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Australia says Lindsay. Our high scorers are Bill and Gail on 85.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11If you can score 84 or less, you are through. There is your red line.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15How many people said Australia? Is it right?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Absolutely right. And you are through.
0:12:20 > 0:12:2536. Very well done indeed. A total of 36.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Australia finished fifth in the medals table. 32 gold medals.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Or two gold medals fewer than Team GB.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Dan, welcome to Pointless.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Thank you very much. - Great jumper.- I knitted it myself.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I believe you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Thank you.- Did you really?- No.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- How are your preparations going for the wedding?- They're going...OK.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Everything's pretty much booked. - OK. Is there a theme?
0:13:01 > 0:13:07I have a...passion for Batman. I'm a bit batty for Batman.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13But I'm drawing the line at putting underpants over my suit. And a cape.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I said no to the cape. - She said no to that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- Not for the wedding itself, but for the evening.- The party.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27I would have thought it would be a classy thing to do to invite us to the wedding. Don't you think?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Yeah. We could come as Batman and Robin.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- That's a great idea. - I've still got the costume.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41- Or Catwoman. - You've still got the costume. - LAUGHTER
0:13:42 > 0:13:48Excellent. Well, how exciting. Thank you. You can just come through to the next round. It's fine.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Who needs an answer? Did you watch the Paralympics?- I didn't.
0:13:52 > 0:13:59I have to take a stab in the dark, unfortunately, and kind of hope. I assume they have at least one.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- But I'm going to say France. - France says Dan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:11Well, the high scorers are Bill and Gail on 85. You're on six. 78 or less sees you comfortably through.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15France. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22And you are through. Very well done, Dan.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2326.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Very good. Your total is 32.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Safely through, Dan. Eight golds. There's a whole bunch of pointless answers. Let's look at a few.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42Austria and Azerbaijan. They both won four gold medals. Belarus won five gold medals.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48Bosnia and Herzegovina won one, for sitting volleyball. Cuba won a whole bunch.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Egypt was a pointless answer.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54There's Jamaica who won with Alphonso Cunningham.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Kenya, Switzerland. There's a few more. Algeria, Belgium, Chile,
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Czech Republic, Fiji, the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. Well done for that.
0:15:04 > 0:15:11Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia. All of those were pointless. Let's look at the biggest scorers.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Russia would have scored you 37 points.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21USA, 74. They only came sixth in the medal table. They lost to Ukraine.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25And Gail, you'll know what's right at the top. It's China, 77 points.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair with their high score of 85 -
0:15:31 > 0:15:35it's not that high. We've had much higher,
0:15:35 > 0:15:41but we have to say goodbye to someone, so Bill and Gail, with your score of 85, it's you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48I'm so sorry to say goodbye so soon. We'll see you again next time. Thanks for playing, Bill and Gail.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Sadly, at the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09Ivor, you said to me earlier on that magenta, of course, is the colour of champions.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11What are you talking about?!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13LAUGHTER
0:16:13 > 0:16:18I was talking to Ivor earlier about returning couples doing well.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23And he said he was told by someone that magenta was a winning colour.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28And I'm guessing that's the colour of his shirt.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32We should talk more about this. It is gold.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37There must be a special red button to hear more of this stuff. You and Ivor chatting about colours.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Yeah. There you go. Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Our category for Round Two is... hit singles.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Can you decide who's going first and who's going second?
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:54 > 0:17:01OK, our question concerns... songs which spent 50 weeks or more on the UK chart.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Songs that spent 50 weeks or more on the UK chart. Richard?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10On each pass, we'll show you six pop acts and a year.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Those acts in that year released a song that spent 50 weeks or more in the UK chart.
0:17:16 > 0:17:24Can you tell us that song? What song did they release that spent 50 weeks or more in the UK chart?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Very good. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal the names of the artists.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34- You must name the songs that spent 50 weeks or more in the chart. - HE READS THE LIST
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55There we are. Now then, Amy.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Oh, no. I only know maybe...two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:06Even then I'm not 100% sure. It's going to have to be a bit of a guess, to be honest.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I'm going to go with Snow Patrol and...
0:18:12 > 0:18:19- Run?- Snow Patrol and Run says Amy. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:30Oh, bad luck, Amy. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36- Sorry, Amy. That's not the one we're looking for.- Never mind. - I'll give the correct one after.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Lindsay...
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I'm going to go for an obvious one. Frank Sinatra.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- My Way?- My Way says Lindsay. My Way, Frank Sinatra.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53It's right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well done, Lindsay.
0:18:58 > 0:18:5928.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well done.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- 28 for My Way. - Well done, Lindsay.
0:19:05 > 0:19:12It's charted twice. The first time, in 1969, it was in the charts for 122 weeks.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Consecutively. - About two and a half years.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Wow.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:26- Now then, Sam, you can talk us through the board and fill in the blanks.- It's doubtful I will do.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think I know two.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Take That may be Shine,
0:19:32 > 0:19:38- but I'll go for Snow Patrol, which I think is Chasing Cars. - Chasing Cars
0:19:38 > 0:19:42says Sam for Snow Patrol. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Absolutely right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:5118.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Best score of the round so far. 18 for Chasing Cars.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Yeah, good answer. It's an extraordinary song.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05The most played song of the 2000s, on radio. The most played song anywhere in the UK.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09It first got into the charts in 2006 and was there for 17 weeks.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13It came back in in 2007 and stayed for 74 weeks
0:20:13 > 0:20:19- and it's been in the chart five more times, up to October, 2012.- It's been covered a lot, hasn't it?
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Run was famously covered by Leona Lewis. She had a big hit with that.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29There's not been a hit cover version. Shall we look at the rest?
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Judy Collins. Any ideas? An old standard - Amazing Grace.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- Well done if you said that. Five. Bill Haley?- Rock Around The Clock.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Absolutely right. It scored 44.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Take That. I thought it might be Shine, but it's Rule The World.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- That would have scored three. And New Order?- Blue Monday.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Absolutely right. 14. The best answer is Rule The World.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55A lot of people thought Shine.
0:20:55 > 0:21:02Thank you, Richard. Let's look at those scores. Sam and Ashley very strong on 18.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Up to 28, Lindsay and Ivor.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09And then quite a hike up to 100 where we find Amy and Dan.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:15 > 0:21:21- Let's put six more artists on the board. - HE READS THE LIST
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51There we are. We are looking for songs by these acts that spent 50 or more weeks in the UK charts.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57Ashley, you're going to try to find the one the fewest people knew. How's this feeling for you?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01It could have been worse. I think I know a few of them.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06I think I'll go with Flo Rida and I think that's Low.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Low says Ashley for Flo Rida.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15You're on 18. The high scorers on 100 are Dan and Amy. Score 81 or less and you're through.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19There's your red line. Flo Rida. Is Low right?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It is and you're through.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Wow!
0:22:32 > 0:22:37Very well played, Ashley. That scores two. A very impressive 20. Richard?
0:22:37 > 0:22:45That's a good answer. His first hit. 55 weeks in the chart up to now and it'll be there for a bit more.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Very good. Now then, Ivor.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53- What are we making of this board, Ivor?- Not a lot. Not a lot.
0:22:53 > 0:22:59Mr Acker Bilk with the Leon Young String Chorale, '61.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It may be...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Stranger On The Shore.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Stranger On The Shore for Acker Bilk and the Leon Young String Chorale.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You're on 28. The high scorers on 100 are Dan and Amy.
0:23:13 > 0:23:1971 or less and you're through. Stranger On The Shore. Is it right? How many said it?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's right.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Very well done, Ivor. You're through to the Head to Head.
0:23:26 > 0:23:2815.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36- Very well done. 43, your total, Ivor.- Flo Rida and Acker Bilk in the same round!
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- Spent 55 weeks on the chart and was a US number one as well.- Dan... The board is yours, Dan.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Em...
0:23:44 > 0:23:48I'm not 100% sure of all of them. Amy Winehouse possibly Valerie,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52which was also done by The Zutons, I think.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Frankie Goes To Hollywood. I think that was Relax maybe.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Slade...
0:23:59 > 0:24:04That could be anything. Cum On Feel The Noize, possibly.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Nickelback. I've heard that so many times. I can't remember what it's called.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14I think it's This Is How You Remind Me, but I might be wrong,
0:24:14 > 0:24:19- so I'll go for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Relax.- Relax says Dan.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I'm afraid no red line as you are the high scorers,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26but is Relax right? How many people said it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It's right.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Very good.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40Frankie said Relax and 43 of our 100 said Relax as well.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46- That takes your total up to 143. - Frankie Goes To Hollywood featuring the Leon Young String Chorale.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48LAUGHTER
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Now Nickelback, I made the same mistake. It's Rockstar,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57which spent 50 weeks in the charts. Eight points.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Amy Winehouse wasn't Valerie. It was Rehab. It scored 19.
0:25:01 > 0:25:08- Now Slade gets into the charts every year. Merry Xmas Everybody. - Everybody.
0:25:08 > 0:25:1411 points. The best answer is Flo Rida featuring T Pain. Your favourite.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- I love Flo Rida.- And T Pain. - I particularly love T Pain.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23You know he's named after Thomas Paine, the philosopher?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- I thought it was after Pain, French for bread. That ain't bread...- That's toast.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- It's coming on, that catchphrase. - "T pain? Non! C'est pain grille!"
0:25:33 > 0:25:37As we say in France. OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43So at the end of Round Two, our losing pair with 143 points
0:25:43 > 0:25:49is Dan and Amy. Oh, no. That IS toast. Anyway, listen, we'll see you next time.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Thanks very much for playing. Dan and Amy!
0:25:53 > 0:25:59But for the two remaining pairs, they're about to get one step closer to the final and that jackpot
0:25:59 > 0:26:02as they enter the Head to Head.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Congratulations, Ashley and Sam, Ivor and Lindsay.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15You are only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot of £20,250!
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Our biggest ever jackpot to date. Now only one pair can play for that money.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28To decide which pair it will be, you now go head to head. You are now allowed to confer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:35The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:26:40 > 0:26:47OK, here comes your first question and it concerns... types of dog.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55- Types of dog, Richard.- I'm never happier than when we show pictures of dogs. Which breed are they?
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- We should maybe give them marks out of 10 for cuteness.- Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04OK, let's do that. Let's reveal our five dogs.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- A. Seven. - Yeah, I'm going to give him seven.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- B.- Meh...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Well, actually, I think that's overdoing it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:22- I'm going to take points off for that. Five.- I would give him a five and a half. Him/her.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Aww.- C! Nine!
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I'm going to give HIM a nine.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- D.- Oh...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Ohhh.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Seven and a half. - I'm going to give him an eight.- OK.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- And E.- Aww. That's cute.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Three. - LAUGHTER
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Really?- I'm not so...
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- Look at that face. - I just think Barbara Cartland.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- I'm going seven and a half. - OK, there we are.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59There are the dogs. Now then, Ashley and Sam,
0:27:59 > 0:28:05you've played best so far, you are our lowest scorers and, in recognition of that,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08you win the chance to go first.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20May be totally wrong, but we're going to go for C, Jack Russell.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22C, Jack Russell say Ashley and Sam.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Ivor and Lindsay, you can talk us through all of those if you like.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31- A I'm not sure. It's got the head of a Staffie...- It's not a Staffie.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34B is a Chihuahua.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- D is...- D is a Basset hound. I don't know about E.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- C I think is...a beagle, I think. - We think it's a beagle.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- D is a Basset. - What do you want to go for?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- E I think IS Barbara Cartland. - LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:56B or D, then? Chihuahua or Basset hound? We'll go for B, Chihuahua.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- Yeah.- B, Chihuahua.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01B, Chihuahua.
0:29:01 > 0:29:08OK, so Ashley and Sam have said C, Jack Russell. Let's see if C is a Jack Russell and how many said it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Oh, bad luck! An incorrect answer,
0:29:12 > 0:29:18which means Ivor and Lindsay merely have to be correct with B, Chihuahua.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Is it right?
0:29:22 > 0:29:27It is right. Very well done. You have won that question. 51 the score.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- After one question, Ivor and Lindsay, you are up one-nil. - Yeah, not a Jack Russell.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42As Ivor and Lindsay suggested, it's a beagle, C, and would have scored you 37 points.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Now A is a Basenji.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Basenji. The best answer on the board. Three points.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- D is a Basset hound. - Aww.- Aww.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57He would have scored you 39.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01And the final one is a Samoyed, which would have scored nine points.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Quite a lot of our hundred know their dogs. Samoyed.
0:30:05 > 0:30:11Thank you very much. Here comes your second question. Ashley and Sam, you have to win it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15And it concerns... Star Wars characters.
0:30:15 > 0:30:21- Star Wars characters, Richard? - We'll show you the names of five Star Wars characters,
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- but we've removed alternate letters from their names. Can you give us the most obscure?- OK.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Let's reveal our five Star Wars characters with letters missing.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I'll read those all again.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ivor and Lindsay...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- I'm going to go for Boba Fett. - Boba Fett.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Boba Fett says Lindsay.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19Ashley and Sam, talk us through the board.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21You've got Yoda,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Han Solo
0:31:23 > 0:31:25and Darth Vader at the bottom.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30The third one's really annoying. No, can't get it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34I'm going to go for Han Solo, the second one down.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39Han Solo you're going for. We have Boba Fett and Han Solo.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Ivor and Lindsay said Boba Fett. How many said that?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It's right!
0:31:50 > 0:31:5214.
0:31:54 > 0:31:5614 for Boba Fett.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01Now then, Ashley and Sam, you have to win this to stay in.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05You've said Han Solo. Is it right? How many said it?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Well, it's right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Is it going to beat 14, though?
0:32:11 > 0:32:1336.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19A good answer, but not good enough,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23which means Ivor and Lindsay are through to the final, two-nil.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Very, very well done.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30That's a good answer, Lindsay. One answer would have beaten it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Y-D- is Yoda.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It would have scored you 62.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40The one at the bottom there is Darth Vader. That scored 40.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44And a generation of Star Wars fans are screaming Count Dooku,
0:32:44 > 0:32:50- which would have scored two points. - Did you just get it just then? - Yeah.- What a shame.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56Our losing pair after the Head to Head is Ashley and Sam. And you knew that answer.
0:32:56 > 0:33:03It's really hard when the pressure is on. We have to say goodbye, but we'll see you again next time.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07You've played so well today. Thanks for playing, Ashley and Sam.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14But for Ivor and Lindsay, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21Well, congratulations! You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:33:27 > 0:33:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at a record-breaking £20,250.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46You've done fantastically well. Some great answering from you.
0:33:46 > 0:33:52You steamrollered them in that Head to Head. Much like you were steamrollered in the last one.
0:33:52 > 0:33:59- We got our own back.- The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:33:59 > 0:34:04to go home with £20,250. Firstly, you have to choose a category from five options.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06They are...
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- My best one would be Modern Authors. - Yours would be?- Probably.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Yeah. World Leaders...
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Formula 1.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Let's go for Modern Authors then if you like.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- We'll go for Modern Authors.- OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:34:32 > 0:34:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many books by Philip Pullman as they could.
0:34:39 > 0:34:45- Philip Pullman. Richard? - Yeah, any novel or children's book written by Philip Pullman
0:34:45 > 0:34:52up to the end of October, 2012. For trilogies or quartets, we want individual names of books.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Written by Philip Pullman. Very best of luck. A huge jackpot.
0:34:56 > 0:35:03OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers and all you need to win £20,250
0:35:03 > 0:35:08- is for just one answer to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There. Your time starts now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- Do you know any?- Yeah, five or six. There are three really obvious ones in a trilogy.
0:35:18 > 0:35:26- I know a couple of others that are popular, but they probably won't be pointless. It's worth a try.- OK.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Em, I know...
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Ruby And The Smoke, Shadow In The North. They're slightly less.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37There's The Subtle Knife, Golden Compass...
0:35:39 > 0:35:42And the other one that I can't think of at the moment.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47I'll give you three guesses why I brought you today!
0:35:48 > 0:35:53OK, I'm going to go for two less obvious and one that's a bit obvious.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- OK, is that it?- Yeah.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59OK, shall we stop the clock? Right you are.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04We were looking for Philip Pullman books. You have your three answers. What are they?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- The Ruby In The Smoke. - Ruby In The Smoke.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- The Shadow In The North. - The Shadow In The North.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- And The Subtle Knife. - And The Subtle Knife. OK.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:36:20 > 0:36:26- The Shadow In The North maybe. - We'll put it last. Which is your least likely?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- The Subtle Knife.- Put that first.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41So we were looking for Philip Pullman books.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47The Subtle Knife was your least confident answer. You only need one pointless answer.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52So for £20,250, let's see how many people said The Subtle Knife.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56It's right.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58OK, down it goes.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03The Subtle Knife taking us down through the 40s, 30s, into the 20s,
0:37:03 > 0:37:07into the teens, into single figures... Five!
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Oh. I tell you what,
0:37:17 > 0:37:25- that was part of his Dark Materials trilogy.- I thought it'd be high. - Yeah. Listen, this is great news.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31It's bad news in that it wasn't pointless, but only five people knew one of his best-known books.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- Obviously not fans, are they? - My heart's now beating a little bit faster than it was.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42This is actually very exciting. Only two more chances to win today's jackpot,
0:37:42 > 0:37:48which is £20,250. Lindsay, when you think of £20,250,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Holiday. In the sun. - Mm-hm.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59With a nanny. LAUGHTER
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Now that's a holiday! - It's not a holiday otherwise.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09That's just hot childcare. Ivor, how about you?
0:38:09 > 0:38:15I have four wonderful grandchildren and I have a beautiful wife
0:38:15 > 0:38:22and that beautiful wife would love to be the nanny when she takes us all on holiday.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26You could all nip over to Rosie McIvor's for a sangria.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30We'll invite you both if you're not busy at a wedding.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Exactly. We'll find time, I'm sure.
0:38:33 > 0:38:39So we are looking for Philip Pullman books. Let's hope nobody said The Ruby In The Smoke.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Five people got The Subtle Knife.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47The Ruby In The Smoke. It has to be correct and pointless.
0:38:47 > 0:38:53And then you leave here with £20,250. So how many people said The Ruby In The Smoke?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It's right.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02The Subtle Knife took us down to five.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06The Ruby In The Smoke now taking us down into single figures.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Still going down... Three!
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Three people knew The Ruby In The Smoke.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27Everything is now riding on your last answer, your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32We're looking for Philip Pullman books. The Shadow In The North.
0:39:33 > 0:39:39- Do you think fewer people will have heard of that?- I know they televised The Ruby In The Smoke.
0:39:39 > 0:39:45- They didn't televise The Shadow In The North.- Billie Piper was in The Ruby In The Smoke.
0:39:45 > 0:39:53- I don't know if they televised The Shadow In The North.- Maybe those three just remembered Billie Piper.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Maybe.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57OK.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Twenty...
0:40:02 > 0:40:08£20,250, the biggest-ever Pointless jackpot since we've been doing this show,
0:40:08 > 0:40:14is riding on this answer. The Shadow In The North. This was your most confident answer.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17It was. I'm not sure it is now!
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I'm starting to doubt myself. - OK, very best of luck.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26The Shadow In The North. Is it right? Is it a pointless answer?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Well, it's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34The Subtle Knife took us down to five.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37The Ruby In The Smoke down to three.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40The Shadow In The North still going down.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43You've done it!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48That's fantastic! Very well done.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Very well done indeed.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Can I have a kiss?- Yes!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Well done.- Oh, my God!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Thank you!
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- Superb. The Shadow In The North! - I'll have to read that book now.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12A pointless answer. There we are. Fantastic.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26- And the trophy.- The trophy!
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Magenta won the day, Ivor.- Yes! - He'll wear it every day!
0:41:30 > 0:41:37- Wash it occasionally, possibly, but very well done.- There'll be a run on these next week!- I bet!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- Richard?- How about that! How brilliant is Lindsay, Ivor?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Absolutely awesome.- Fantastic.
0:41:44 > 0:41:51- You can also thank Alphonso Cunningham, the Jamaican javelin thrower.- And Philip Pullman.
0:41:51 > 0:41:58The Shadow In The North is a follow-up to The Ruby In The Smoke. They did do a TV version.
0:41:58 > 0:42:05Nobody remembered it! Let's look at some other pointless answers, while you catch your breath.
0:42:05 > 0:42:12The Scarecrow And His Servant, Lyra's Oxford, which follows on from the His Dark Materials trilogy.

0:42:27 > 0:42:34Also The Good Man Jesus And The Scoundrel Christ, Aladdin And His Enchanted Lamp.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Well done if you said any of those, but absolutely brilliant.
0:42:37 > 0:42:43Couldn't happen to a nicer pair. You played brilliantly. Such a pleasure to see you get the money.
0:42:50 > 0:42:57Well, thanks once again to Ivor and Lindsay, who go away with today's jackpot of £20,250.
0:42:59 > 0:43:05- Join us next time when we test more obscure knowledge. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
