Episode 18 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless,

the quiz show where you try to score as few points as you can.

To do that, you need the answers that no-one else can think of.

Let's meet today's players.

-Couple number one.

-Hello, I'm Jessica and this is my husband Adam,

we're from Southfields in London.

-Couple number two.

-I'm Tony, this is my mate John

and we're from Carshalton in Surrey.

-Couple number three.

-I'm Ollie and this is my mum Claire

and we are from Cheltenham.

-And our fourth and final couple.

-I'm Becky, this is my brother Gareth

-and we are from Mirfield, Yorkshire.

-And these are today's contestants.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you, everyone, we'll find out more as the show goes on.

Only one person left to introduce.

He's been re-elected as president of Pointless for another term.

-Good news. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya.

Hi, everybody.

-Wow.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon to you.

-Given away two jackpots in a row.

-I know.

All that time without giving away a jackpot, got up to over £20,000,

-then twice in two days.

-Yes.

Four brand-new pairs today as well.

Sometimes I ask you a guessing game about our contestants.

This might be easier than some.

-Do you remember Jamie And His Magic Torch?

-Yes!

-And remember the theme tune?

-Yeah.

One of our contestants today is the singer of that song.

As I say, slightly easier than some.

You can narrow it down fairly quickly.

-I'll give you a clue - it's not Gareth.

-OK.

OK. I haven't yet heard how deep Claire's voice is,

but I...

Splendid. Now, all our questions have been put to 100 people.

Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.

Everyone's looking for a Pointless answer,

which none of our 100 people gave -

we then add 250 quid to the jackpot.

Elliot and Tanya won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot is...

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

APPLAUSE

In this first round, I want an answer from each of you,

but there is no conferring.

Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

Our first category today is...

Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. And the question concerns...

-Richard?

-Xander's about to show you a list of six famous men.

We need you to tell us the name of anybody who's been married to them.

Any woman who's been married to any of these men. Very best of luck.

Thanks very much, Richard. Here are the men.

I'll read those all one last time.

Those six names will remain on the board all through the round,

up the line and back down again.

You have to name any woman who's been married to any of those men.

Now, then, Jessica. Welcome.

-Great to have you here. What do you do?

-I'm a youth worker.

You're married to Adam. A very nice family-orientated show today.

-Lovely.

-Mother, son. Friends. Brother, sister.

It often is though. Have you not noticed?

-Yeah, it's when I said "Friends".

-There's often relations.

-Yeah, that's true.

-I don't think we've ever had - and we should do -

strangers.

That would be good - introduce people for the first time ever,

never met and then come and play on the show.

Yeah. Could be messy.

It could be. We could do it as a dating show.

For Valentine's! A special...

-I mean...

-Yes.

Good. Now, how did you and Adam meet?

We met at speed dating.

Did you? That's what they did in the days before Pointless Valentines.

Now, then, Jessica. What do you think you're going to go for?

I'm going to go for Linda McCartney. Fellow vegetarian.

Linda McCartney says Jessica.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right.

49.

49 for Linda McCartney.

Linda Eastman, as was.

She met Paul at a speed-dating event in Southfields.

-John.

-Yes.

Welcome to you. What do you do?

-I'm retired.

-What did you do?

-I used to be a printer.

-Did you set the print?

We used to do everything up to the pre-printing stage.

A printer's devil.

Something like that, yes.

How are you with not necessarily up-to-the-minute celebrities?

It might become obvious in a minute.

We're looking for anyone who's been married to any of these six men.

There's some in my era there, so I'll give it a go.

Peter Sellers - Britt Ekland.

Britt Ekland. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Britt Ekland.

Absolutely right.

49 our best score. You go through that.

22.

Nicely done, John. 22 for Britt Ekland.

Well done. They had a proper whirlwind romance.

He saw her photo in the paper

and they married two weeks later.

-That is speed dating, isn't it?

-Yeah, that really is.

OK, Ollie, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Ollie?

-I'm a student.

-What are you studying?

-Physics.

Which part of the realm of physics?

I'm studying the core bits of physics, you know, physics,

but...

Also modules in medical physics.

OK. How are you feeling about this board?

Well, celebrities is not my strong point.

I'm going to have to go with Nicole Kidman for Tom Cruise.

OK, Nicole Kidman says Ollie.

Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said it.

It's right.

37.

37. Not bad, Ollie.

-Richard.

-They did ten years together, Nicole and Tom.

-Good on her.

-Yes.

Now, then, Gareth. Good to have you here. From Mirfield.

-What do you do, Gareth?

-I'm a music teacher.

What do you do in your spare time? I imagine music plays a part.

I play for a brass band called Hebden Bridge Brass Band.

They do contests against other brass bands across the country.

I'm also a keen sportsman - bit of football and golf as well.

Very good. This is all good preparation for Pointless.

Except when we have celebrity rounds. But even so,

-I have a feeling you'll be good at this.

-Well, Tom Cruise,

-I think he was married to Katie Holmes.

-Katie Holmes.

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Katie Holmes.

It's right.

27.

Not bad at all, Gareth. 27 for Katie Holmes.

Five years together for those two. Split up in 2012.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

22 our best score - John.

Then 27 - Gareth and Becky.

Then up to 37 - Ollie and Claire.

Then up to 49 - Jessica and Adam.

So, Adam, bit of pressure on you

to find a low-scoring answer to keep you in the game.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, Becky. What do you do in Mirfield?

-I'm a carer.

-Very good indeed.

-What do you do in your spare time?

-I love karaoke.

-What's your favourite song?

-Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero.

Very good. Maybe we can get the music by the end of the show

and if you make it to the final...

Gareth, what? What's this shaking of the head?

-Experience.

-OK.

OK. How are you feeling about this board?

I don't know if it's his daughter or not,

but it's the only person I can think of with the name - Stella McCartney.

OK. Stella McCartney.

Well, the high scorers are Adam and Jessica on 49.

You're on 27. If you can score 21 or less,

you're through to the next round.

Stella McCartney says Becky.

There's your red line. Get below that, you're in the next round.

Ooh, back luck, Becky.

Unfortunately, but in some ways fortunately, that is a wrong answer.

Which means you score 100 points, which takes you up to 127. Sorry.

Yeah, I think you know, Rebecca, that Stella is his daughter.

They have never married.

Thank you very much. Claire, welcome to the show.

-What do you do, Claire?

-I work in a college in Gloucestershire,

-in the finance department.

-What do you get up to in your spare time?

Well, I love going for walks on the Cotswold hills,

taking fresh air there,

and sometimes I get to ride pillion on my husband's motorbike.

That's good. Very brave. How brave are you feeling on this?

OK. Brave-ish.

I do remember that Ronald Reagan's wife was called Nancy.

-So I'll go for Nancy Reagan.

-Nancy Reagan says Claire.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

You're on 37, the high scorers on 127 are Becky and Gareth,

a score of 89 or less will see you through. Nancy Reagan.

Absolutely right and you are through. Well done.

31 for Nancy Reagan. 68 your total.

Exactly what you needed to do there.

They met when he helped get her name off an anti-communist blacklist.

I thought you were going to say "off a wall"!

He was president of the Screen Actors Guild

and she was mistakenly on the list.

-And he helped her out.

-That's nice.

Now,... Tony.

Welcome to the show. What do you do?

-I'm retired.

-And, er, what...

What did you do, Tony?

What did you use to do?

-I did have a pet shop for 19 years...

-I knew it, a pet shop!

Did that give you a bit of time to noodle about musically?

I did, er, perform.

Professionally, vocally, as well.

There you are. There's your man, inspector.

It's not the most amazing detective work I've ever seen.

-What do you mean?

-It could be one of two men and the other's a printer.

Tony, how are you on your celebrity pairings?

I think I'm going to pick Frank Sinatra.

-Yeah.

-I believe he was married to Mia Farrow.

Mia Farrow, says Tony.

OK, now, the high scorers are way out of your reach -

Becky and Gareth on 127, you're on 22 - no red line for you.

Mia Farrow - let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said it.

It's right. 22 is our lowest score so far this round.

See how far Mia Farrow takes it.

Ooh, look at that - smashing through that, Tony.

Well done, 19 for Mia Farrow.

41 your total.

Very well played. Mia Farrow was 21 and Sinatra was 50.

Thanks very much, Richard.

Now, then, Adam. Welcome to the show.

-What do you do?

-I'm head of PR for a financial-planning organisation.

Does that leave you much time to get up to other stuff?

I like football, I support AFC Wimbledon, for my sins,

and I do quite a lot of reporting on their matches as well.

Now, have you got a good answer?

I've got one name in my head and I can't remember if it's been said.

I know Paul McCartney got married two years ago or so

and I can't remember his third wife,

but I'm going to say Heather Mills.

You're going with Heather Mills.

OK. Well, the high scorers are Becky and Gareth on 127.

You're on 49. If you can score 77 or less, you are through.

Heather Mills. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

Yep, Heather Mills has done it for you.

25.

Very good. Takes your total up to 74.

Well played, Adam. Married 2002, divorced 2008.

Amazingly, no Pointless answers here at all.

Someone in our 100 knew their stuff. Let's look at the best answers.

Miranda Quarry, Peter Sellers' third wife, 1 point, the best answer.

Anne Howe, Peter Sellers' first wife - 2 points.

Barbara Marx was married to Frank Sinatra. She scored 3.

She was previously married to Zeppo Marx, from the Marx Brothers.

I'll go through the low scorers so you know what your score got.

Tom Cruise - Mimi Rogers would've scored you 4 points.

Ronald Reagan - you could've said Jane Wyman for 3 points.

Rod Stewart - you could've had Alana Collins for 3,

Rachel Hunter for 4 and Penny Lancaster for 8.

Paul McCartney - Nancy Shevell was the woman you were thinking of.

Would've scored 3 points.

And Frank Sinatra - Ava Gardner, 13 points,

and Mia Farrow, 19 points.

Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our first round,

the pair who'll be leaving us, with their score of 127,

I'm afraid it's Becky and Gareth.

Good answer from you, Gareth - Katie Holmes.

Becky, we'll see you next time,

you'll have a chance to atone for Stella McCartney, I hope.

Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Becky and Gareth.

APPLAUSE

But for the three remaining pairs, it's now time for round two.

Now, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,

so one of these pairs will leave us at the end of this round.

John and Tony, on the strength of last round, that can't be you.

We haven't had our printing and Jamie And His Magic Torch round yet!

Best of luck to all three pairs.

Our category for round two is...

Can you all decide who's going first and second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. And the question concerns...

-Richard.

-We're going to show you the names of six football mascots,

for English league teams, from the Premier League down to League Two.

Just tell us what team they're mascot for.

Obscure answers score fewer points. An incorrect answer - 100 points.

12 mascots in all to match with teams. Good luck.

So we're looking for the teams for which these characters are mascots.

We have got, on our first board...

I'll read all of those again.

There we are. Six mascots for professional English football teams.

Now, then, Jessica.

You get to go first, which is good.

I don't know any so I'll have to hazard a guess.

I'm going... to try

Billy the Badger

for Brentford.

OK. Billy the Badger for Brentford.

OK, let's see if it's right and how many people said Brentford.

Bad luck, Jessica. An incorrect answer.

I suspect not the only incorrect answer of this round.

That scores the maximum of 100 points, I'm sorry. Richard.

Sorry, I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.

John. Now, John, I think you might be a bit better at this.

Hm! Well,

what I'm going to do is, purely with the name,

I'm going for Deepdale Duck

and Preston North End.

Deepdale Duck, Preston North End.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Preston North End.

Oh, it's right. Well done, John.

Very good. 22.

22 for Preston North End.

You look very relieved, John.

Yeah, Preston North End play at Deepdale

and he is a duck character.

-Oh, right.

-Yeah. Occasionally wears a hat.

OK. Now, then, Claire,

I was trying to work out what your face was - I think it was despair.

It was despair at football mascots.

-I've, thinking it through, got a few guesses.

-OK.

Pottermus, I'm thinking Potteries - maybe Stoke.

Herbie Hammer, I'm thinking the Hammers - West Ham.

Monty Magpie, black and white, could be Newcastle.

No idea about Billy the Badger.

And Chirpy Cockerel - two of my colleagues at work support Tottenham

and I know there's a cockerel on the mascot of Tottenham.

-Which one are you going with?

-Tottenham Hotspur - Chirpy Cockerel.

Chirpy Cockerel, Tottenham Hotspur.

Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said Spurs.

It's right! Very well done, Claire.

22 our best score so far.

And you've scored 25.

Well done indeed, Claire.

For someone who didn't know any, you went through the board perfectly.

-Oh, no way!

-Yep.

Pottermus - the clue is the Potteries, Stoke City.

Would've scored you 16 points.

Herbie the Hammer - West Ham United. 44 points.

Monty Magpie, black and white, Newcastle United, 40.

Now, we have one left.

It's the best answer on the board,

it's also the best mascot.

-It's lovely Billy the Badger...

-Lovely!

-..of Fulham.

I love Billy. I see him every other Saturday.

2 points. There's no clue in his name.

What's the significance of a badger?

Well, he's black and white...

-OK.

-..and he's sort of an endangered species.

-Which...

-Just like Fulham. He got sent off a few years ago, Billy.

-Sent off?

-For dancing as the second half started.

-Really?

-Yeah. I say sent off, he got culled.

Anyway, there's to you, Billy the Badger.

Thank you. Well, let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

The best score of the pass is yours, John. 22.

Tony and John looking pretty strong at this stage.

Claire and Ollie not far behind on 25.

Ooh, Jessica and Adam. Adam, I'm hoping you're good at this.

-So am I.

-You'll need to be.

Best of luck. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

OK, six more mascots on the board. Here they come. We have got...

I'll read those all one last time.

Now, Ollie, what are you thinking?

As they play at Stamford Bridge,

-I'll say Stamford the Lion is Chelsea.

-Stamford the Lion, Chelsea.

The high scorers are Adam and Jessica on 100. You're on 25.

A score of 74 or less will see you through.

There's your red line. Stamford the Lion - is it Chelsea?

It is.

And you're in the head-to-head.

44 though.

44.

Takes your total up to 69.

Good work on that last podium.

He's been kidnapped three times, Stamford the Lion.

I'm not surprised, with Abramovich. You'd want quite a lot for that.

Yeah. Every time, money for charity is raised.

-Yeah, ask for a ransom.

-Oh, I see.

-It's not been gangsters!

-You never know.

Otherwise, it'd be hard to get someone to dress up in the costume.

Thanks very much. Now, then, Tony. How do you feel about this board?

So-so.

But I think I've got one.

Erm...

It breaks my heart to say it,

being a Crystal Palace fan,

but I think Gully the Seagull is Brighton And Hove Albion.

Brighton And Hove Albion says Tony.

The high scorers are Adam and Jessica on 100. You're on 22.

So a score of 77 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.

Brighton And Hove Albion says Tony.

Let's see if it's right and how many said it.

Yep, it's right.

And you are through to the head-to-head. Well done.

23.

45 is your total.

Why are Brighton and Crystal Palace rivals? They're a long way apart.

-It's Seagulls and Eagles.

-Yeah, that can't be it.

Now, then, Adam.

It's bad news, you haven't answered yet

and you're still the high scorers.

Anyway, there's a board there. I bet you know some of them.

There might be a low-scoring answer you can impress us with.

Gunnersaurus Rex is Arsenal.

And Fred the Red, I think, is the devil of Manchester United.

Frogmore the Frog -

I don't know, I guess it's somebody who plays in green,

maybe Yeovil Town or Plymouth Argyle.

But I'm going for Mr Bumble,

which, I think, is the Bees of Barnet.

Barnet for Mr Bumble. No red line, as you're already the high scorers.

Let's see if it's right - Barnet for Mr Bumble.

Absolutely right.

22's been our best score so far.

Ooh, you've gone through that... 2!

Adam! Ahh!

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

Oh, bad luck, Adam. That's, by some margin,

the best answer of the round.

But I'm afraid too little too late. 102 is your total.

An impressive answer. He won the Mascot Grand National, Mr Bumble.

Please tell me what that involves.

A series of mascots of sporting teams running over a jumps course.

I'm never going to miss that again.

Terrific answer. Could've been Brentford. Brentford's is Buzzy Bee.

Gunnersaurus Rex, you're right, is Arsenal.

A big, overweight dinosaur, for 47.

Fred the Red is the red devil of Manchester United. 21 points.

He had to have his own security when they toured China. He was mobbed.

Had his own security. And Frogmore the Frog -

not a green team, it's a team where the ground is on Frogmore Road.

-That's Fratton Park and it's Portsmouth.

-Whoo! >

Would've scored 1 point. A Portsmouth fan in, I think!

-The best answer there. Well done if you said that.

-Thanks, Richard.

So our losing pair, with their high score of 102, it's Adam and Jessica.

Oh, bad luck. Adam...

-It was a good round for me.

-Yeah.

I hoped Haydon the Womble of AFC Wimbledon would come up.

-I'd have known that!

-Yeah.

Pyrrhic, I'm afraid, Adam. But we'll see you next time.

It's been lovely having you on the show. Adam and Jessica!

CHEERING

But we're about to get one step closer to the final

and the chance of taking home the jackpot - it's the head-to-head.

Congratulations, John and Tony, Ollie and Claire,

you're one round away from the final and the chance to win our jackpot,

which stands at...

Only one pair can play for that money -

you are now going head-to-head.

But from here on, you are allowed to confer.

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

Now, Ollie, your mum's been carrying you.

-It's going to plan.

-Is it?

She's going to carry me through and, should we get to the final round,

-I'll try and pull one out the bag.

-Well, you can start now actually.

Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question and it concerns...

-Richard.

-We'll show you five pictures of people called Jones.

Give us their full name. The most obscure answer wins the point.

OK, let's reveal our five Joneses. We have got...

Five famous Joneses.

John and Tony, you've been our best scorers so far, so you go first.

THEY WHISPER

Right, we're going for D - Grace Jones.

D - Grace Jones.

Ollie and Claire, talk us through the board.

Would that we could. We're struggling a bit.

I have a suspicion that A might be Quincy Jones.

-Ollie...

-Do you want to go for that? Cos Tom Jones is going to be higher.

-OK, you're going to go for Quincy Jones.

-Yep. A.

A - Quincy Jones. John and Tony said Grace Jones.

Let's see if it's right for D and how many of our 100 people said it.

It's right.

69. So Ollie and Claire say Quincy Jones. Let's see if that's right

and how many of our 100 said Quincy Jones.

Oh, it's not Quincy Jones. But very good tactics there.

That means, John and Tony, you are up 1-0. Richard.

That would have counted as pulling one out of the bag if it had worked.

He's a very famous actor, A, but his most famous role, you never see him,

it's just his voice. He's Darth Vader. It's James Earl Jones.

He would've scored 15 points.

Now, B is a low scorer. She's Betty Draper in Mad Men.

It's January Jones. Would've scored 3 points.

C is a Pointless answer. You'll have seen his name on lots of things -

Looney Tunes, all that stuff. He's the American animator Chuck Jones.

Very well done if you said that at home.

E is Tom Jones. What do you think he scored?

-In the 90s.

-Yeah, 92 points.

So there's no point going for him.

Thanks. OK, here comes your second question.

Ollie and Claire, you need to win this one to stay in the game.

Good luck. It concerns...

-Richard.

-Five clues to facts about Harper Lee's famous novel

To Kill A Mockingbird. Which is the most obscure?

Let's reveal our five clues to facts about To Kill A Mockingbird.

We have got...

I'll read those all one last time.

Five clues to facts about To Kill A Mockingbird.

Ollie and Claire, you go first this time.

THEY WHISPER

We're going to say Atticus Finch was a lawyer.

Atticus Finch, lawyer, say Ollie and Claire.

John and Tony.

How good's your To Kill A Mockingbird knowledge?

We knew the Atticus Finch.

Er, the decade in which the novel was first published,

I think, is the 1930s.

The 1930s says John.

OK, so Ollie and Claire are saying a lawyer for Atticus Finch.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

It's right.

22.

22 for lawyer. You have to win this one to stay in the game.

John and Tony, that's what you have to beat to get to the final.

You say the '30s was the decade in which the novel was first published.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said the '30s.

Ooh, bad luck, John and Tony.

Ollie and Claire, well done. You are back in the game.

It's 1-1. Richard.

That's unlucky. It's set in the 1930s,

but it was published in the '60s. 1960 it came out.

So it was published in 1960 - would've scored you 8 points.

And in 1961, it won the Pulitzer Prize.

That would've scored you 4 points.

The American state - you were right, in the Deep South.

It's Alabama. That would've scored 5 points. All of these would've won.

And the character who gave his name to a Wirral pop group in 1988 -

the group is The Boo Radleys, it's Boo Radley.

That would've scored 18 points.

Thanks very much. Here comes your third question.

Whoever wins this goes through to the final. It concerns...

-Richard.

-We're going to show you the names of five national anthems,

but we've missed out one word. Can you fill in that word, please?

Very best of luck.

Thanks. Let's reveal our five national anthems with missing words.

We have got...

I'll read those again.

There we are. John and Tony, you go first again this time.

THEY WHISPER

We are going to go for The Star-Spangled Banner.

The Star-Spangled Banner say John and Tony.

Ollie and Claire, talk us through the board and have a shot at them.

It'll be guesses, apart from God Save The Queen.

-You're very good at guesses!

-God Save The Queen is one we know.

What do you think? Jamaica?

-Yeah, maybe Jamaica...

-Jamaica, Land We...

-Love?

-Jamaica, Land We Love.

-Jamaica, Land We Love.

OK, Ollie and Claire - Jamaica, Land We Love.

John and Tony say Star-Spangled Banner.

Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said it.

Absolutely right.

73. That's a high one.

Ollie and Claire have gone for Jamaica, Land We Love.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said that.

It's right!

And you beat 73! Well done.

You are through to the final.

24.

CHEERING

Very well done. Ollie and Claire, you're through to the final. 2-1.

-Richard.

-Your instincts have paid off, you've taken some chances,

they've all come off. Terrific work.

1962 Jamaica became independent

and they had a competition to choose Jamaica, Land We Love

as their anthem.

The Banner Of... is the Samoan national anthem

and it's The Banner Of Freedom and four people knew it.

Advance Australia... This became the anthem in 1984.

They held a poll in the '70s to decide on the best song.

-Third place was...

-Waltzing...

-God Save The Queen.

Second place was Waltzing Matilda

and first place was Advance Australia Fair.

Would've scored you 17 points.

Before I reveal this last one,

I should just say everybody keep a lookout for two people.

Not going to tell you what the score is yet,

but, on your local high street, take extra care if you're out there.

Yeah, God Save The Queen scores 98.

98.

Wow. Thanks, Richard.

At the end of our head-to-head, our losing pair is John and Tony.

That was an exciting head-to-head!

You did very well and we will see you next time.

On the strength of today, we are looking forward to that.

John and Tony - great contestants. Well done.

APPLAUSE

But for Ollie and Claire, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Ollie and Claire, you've seen off the competition

and you've won our Pointless trophy. Well done.

You now have a chance to win our jackpot, which stands at...

You've played really well, pretty consistent,

but best of all, you've shown impeccable reasoning.

I think your football-mascot round, Claire, was very good indeed.

Best of luck. The rules are simple - just find a Pointless answer.

Do that and you leave with that £1,000 jackpot.

First, choose a category. Here are your five options.

Those are stinkers, aren't they? THEY WHISPER

-Irish Dramatists, no.

-Think it has to be Comic Actors.

Yeah, we're thinking Comic Actors.

OK, let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. Steve Carell films, Richard.

We want any feature film for which Steve Carell has an acting credit,

up to the end of October 2012.

No TV films, short films, documentaries, anything uncredited.

But voice performances do count. Best of luck.

OK, you now have one minute to come up with three answers

and to win that £1,000, one of those answers has to be Pointless.

Are you ready?

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

There they are. Your time starts now.

-40-Year-Old Virgin.

-Yeah, he was also in Anchorman.

Those guys star in things together, they're in each other's films,

so maybe something like... Dodgeball...

These kind of things. All those guys - Owen Wilson,

Paul Rudd, erm...

Is there a sequel to 40-Year-Old Virgin?

I don't think so.

Erm...

Erm...

I really can't remember. That's the problem.

SHE WHISPERS Yeah, 40-Year-Old Virgin.

-Dodgeball.

-Maybe Blades Of Glory was one they did.

I'm just trying to think of other...

Zoolander, that kind of stuff? I think they tend to come as a group.

10 seconds left.

I kind of feel Blades Of Glory,

maybe something small in that.

Definitely in Anchorman...

OK, there is time up.

We were looking for Steve Carell films. I need your three answers.

-Do you want to go?

-I think we're going to say... 40-Year-Old Virgin.

40-Year-Old Virgin.

-Blades of Glory.

-Blades of Glory.

-And Zoolander.

-And Zoolander.

Of those three, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?

-If it's right, Zoolander.

-So Zoolander we'll put last.

Which is your least likely?

-40-Year-Old Virgin.

-OK, we'll put that one first.

Let's pop those up on the board. We have got...

OK, we were looking for Steve Carell films.

Your first answer, the 40-Year-Old Virgin,

was your least confident answer.

You have to find one Pointless answer to win the jackpot.

So, for that £1,000 jackpot,

how many people said The 40-Year-Old Virgin?

Well, it's right.

If this goes down to zero,

you will leave here with £1,000 in your back pockets.

Ooh, 30.

30 for The 40-Year-Old Virgin. So not a Pointless answer.

Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.

What would you do with the jackpot?

-We've decided.

-We've made up our minds.

-We'll spend it on a holiday to Jamaica.

-Cos it's the land we love.

Because it's the land we love!

Excellent. Let's hope one of your remaining answers gets you there.

Looking for Steve Carell films.

Your next answer was Blades Of Glory.

This was more of a shot in the dark.

-If he is in it, you think it'll be a minor role.

-I think so, yeah.

It has to be Pointless for you to win that jackpot,

so let's see how many people said Blades Of Glory.

No. Bad luck.

Bad luck. An incorrect answer.

So everything is now resting on your last answer.

Your third and final answer was Zoolander.

If it was right, this was your best shot at a Pointless answer.

-Yeah, possibly.

-OK, has to be correct and has to be Pointless.

Let's find out. How many people said Zoolander? It is right?

Oh, no! Bad luck.

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find a Pointless answer,

so you don't win today's jackpot, which rolls over to the next show.

You do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.

CHEERING

You did the right thing, Ollie.

He might've turned up in a small part in one of those.

You did what I would've done there.

40-Year-Old Virgin a big scorer. Evan Almighty and Date Night also.

Anchorman only scored 7.

Little Miss Sunshine, 6. Despicable Me scored 5.

Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World would've scored 2.

You chose the hardest category - only three Pointless answers.

Let's take a look at them.

He stars alongside Jim Carrey in Horton Hears A Who!

Melinda And Melinda, the Woody Allen film, Will Ferrell also in that.

And if anybody got Tomorrow Night, give yourself a pat on the back.

In it, he plays "mailroom guy without glasses".

From 1998. Wonder if anyone got it.

Well, we have to say goodbye, Ollie and Claire,

thank you you both for playing. Great contestants.

CHEERING

They didn't win our jackpot, so it rolls over to our next show,

when we will be playing for...

Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
