0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 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 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39- Couple number one.- I'm Harry. This is Rachel, my girlfriend, and we're from Reading.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple two?- I'm Chris from Retford and this is Stu from Durham.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Couple three?- I'm Alan. This is Pat, my wife. We're from Exeter.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- And couple four.- I'm Ron, from Newcastle, and this is my step-daughter, Emma.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Thank you very much. We'll find out more about you as we go along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05There's one person left to introduce. He's a man so smart,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07he even came top of the census!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- He's my Pointless friend, Richard! - Hiya!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hello, everybody!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18That was a good show, last time.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We've got Rachel and Harry back from it. They were brilliant.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Really good.- Terrific. And Rachel gave us a pointless answer as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- They just got pipped in that head-to-head.- Yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I will warn the other three pairs now. You've got a fight on your hands against these two.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- They're very strong.- All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer which none of our 100 people got.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50As we said, Becky and Gareth didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55so today's jackpot starts off at £3,250.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02OK. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11OK. So for this first round I'll take an answer off each of you
0:02:11 > 0:02:12and there's no conferring.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Our category for Round One is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Countries and their borders. Richard?- Classic old school Pointless, this.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42In a moment, we'll show you the names of five countries.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You need to tell us the name of any other country that borders one of those.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49So any country that borders any of the five countries you're about to see.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54We just want the main countries, not any little enclave or foreign settlements or territories.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- So any...- What do you mean by countries, Richard?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'm glad you asked that!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Because by country, I mean what a lot of people don't mean!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I mean a member of the UN that's a sovereign state in its own right.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Brilliant. Thank you. - It's a pleasure.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12OK. I'm going to put the names of five countries up on the board.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15They'll remain on the board throughout the round
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and we just need the name of any country that shares a border with one of them.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20OK. And our five countries are...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Welcome back, Harry and Rachel.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Remind us what you're studying at university, Harry.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Geography!- There we are!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Any idea what you want to go on and do, Harry?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I would love to work in sport when I've finished my degree.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, so the geography/sport cross-over, yes(!)
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- It's maybe a little tenuous, but... - You play sport, do you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Yes, cricket and golf are my main ones.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- And I love horse-racing as well. - Really?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01That would be ideally where I'd end up after university.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Do you follow horse-racing?- Yes, a bit. So that would be fantastic.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- OK. Now, then, Harry.- Yes. - There's no point in putting this off any further.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- No.- You're a geographer.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's a geography question.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm going to play it safe here.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18But I'm going to go for a country that people might forget about.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22So I'm going to go France and Belgium.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- OK. You're going to say Belgium. - Yep.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Is it right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Belgium?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31It's right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:3642.
0:04:39 > 0:04:4142 for Belgium.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Not quite overlooked enough, was it, I don't think!
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It's 620 kilometres of border between those two countries.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Stuart.- Hiya.- A warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- What do you do?- I work in the exciting world of higher education administration.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Basically, I work for a local university.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Very good.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04You've had a little bit of time to think about countries bordering these countries.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I was going to go for a country that borders China
0:05:08 > 0:05:10but given the answer that went before,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I think I'll play safe...- No, go for a country that borders China.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It'll be fun.- I'll make a fool of myself if it's wrong.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Beat the geographer!- I'm going to say that Andorra borders France.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Andorra says Stuart.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said Andorra?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3342 is our lowest score to date.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34You've gone through that. Ten.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Very well done, Stuart.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43That IS a country that's often overlooked, Andorra.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Harry gave a little geographer's wince when he heard that answer. He knew it was right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Anyway, very well done, Stuart.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Alan, a warm welcome to you to Pointless.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- You're from Exeter.- I am.- What do you do in Exeter, Alan?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'm retired, so basically nothing!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I have plenty of hobbies.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Walking, I've got a nice garden
0:06:07 > 0:06:10which I spend hours working on.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Very good. What did you do before you retired?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I was a civil servant. Well, prison officer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Have you visited any of these countries?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20There's one I'm pretty sure you might have visited!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- I was born in one!- There you go.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26And I've visited one.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29But I'm going to go for China.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31And Kyrgyzstan.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan you're going to say.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41OK. Kyrgyzstan. Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said Kyrgyzstan.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Absolutely right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Ten our best score so far.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Down it goes, smashing through ten.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Look at that. Two, Alan. Very well done indeed.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Very well done. Kyrgyzstan.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Great start to your Pointless career, Alan. Great answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It borders China for about 800 kilometres.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's a border!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That is a border, isn't it? Oh, yes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Emma?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Emma, warm welcome. You're from Newcastle Upon Tyne.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- I am, yes.- And what do you do, Emma?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- I'm a surveyor.- What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I go to the gym quite a lot. I like to keep fit.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I like going clubbing with my friends,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27so we travel around the country to see DJs.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Oh. This is proper clubbing! You take you clubbing very seriously.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- Yes.- Like Harry and his racing.- I'm getting a bit old for it, now, so it's not as often as it used to be!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Emma, we just need the name of any country that shares a border with one of these countries.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Any ideas?- I thought of one straightaway
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and the more I think about it, the more I doubt myself.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Don't...- I'll take a risk. I don't know, but I'll just go for it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Kazakhstan bordering Russia.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Kazakhstan, says Emma. Kazakhstan.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 said Kazakhstan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Absolutely right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Two, our best score so far.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Nine is your score.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Very well done indeed, Emma. Nine for Kazakhstan.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Another very good answer. It actually borders Russia and China, Kazakhstan.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Its border with Russia is nearly 7,000 kilometres.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I know previously I said, "That's a border", but that really is a border!
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah. Wow.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32We're halfway through the round. Let's see the scores as they stand.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Alan and Pat looking very strong, there. Lovely low score of two.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Then up to nine, Emma and Ron. Then up to ten, Stuart and Chris.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Then up to 42 where we find our geographers, Harry and Rachel!
0:08:44 > 0:08:48So Rachel, we're going to need a really good answer from you
0:08:48 > 0:08:51to make sure you're with us at the end of the round. Best of luck.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01OK. Ron. Welcome. Lovely to have you here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- A step-father, step-daughter team. - Correct.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Ron, what do you do? - I work in the angling industry.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I work for a firm that supplies bespoke angling equipment.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Rods, reels, anything to do with angling.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17What do you do in your spare time? Any hobbies?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I have my own allotment. I grow my own vegetables and keep chickens.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So myself and my wife are a bit like Tom and Barbara Goode!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Good stuff. Anyway, Ron, here we are.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Five countries. We want any country that borders any of these countries.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'm going to play it a little safe and say Mexico.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Mexico, says Ron.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Mexico. The high scorers on 42 are Rachel and Harry.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You're on nine. If you score 32 or less,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44you are through to the next round. Good luck with Mexico.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46There's your red line.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48How many people said Mexico? Is it right?
0:09:54 > 0:09:5654 for Mexico.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02That takes your total up to 63. Richard?
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Yes. Made Rachel's job a little bit easier. Much better than scoring 100. Better to get a good answer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Now, Pat.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- A very warm welcome to you. - Thank you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Now, what do you do?- I'm retired. - What did you do?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20My last job was at the county court in Exeter. I was there for about 24 years.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Have you visited any of these places?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I've visited France and I've visited the USA.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29The high scorers at the moment on 63 are Ron and Emma.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34You're on two. So a score of 60 or less sees you comfortably through to the next round.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Yes.- Does that take a bit of pressure off?
0:10:37 > 0:10:43Fingers crossed that this is right and scores low enough.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I'm going to go for China and North Korea.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49North Korea, says Pat. North Korea.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Here is your red line. Below that, you're in Round Two.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Let's see how many people said North Korea.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57It's right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You're in Round Two.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06That scores you 12. Your total is 14.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Some good teamwork there from Pat and Alan.- Very good.- Very good.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Yes. Most of it borders China.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It has a little bit with South Korea.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And it even has 17.5 kilometres with Russia.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- North Korea.- There we are.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Now, Chris.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Welcome to the show.- Thank you. - What do you do, Chris?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm a retail manager for one of the world's largest supermarkets.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- What do you do in your spare time, Chris?- Same as Stuart, really.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Watch football. I support Sheffield Wednesday.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39So watching them and seeing how they're getting on, really.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Very good. How's your geography?
0:11:41 > 0:11:46It's not that bad. Knowledge in football helps with geography, really.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- So I think I'm all right. - OK. You're on ten.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52The high scorers are still Ron and Emma on 63.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57A score of 52 or less from you will see you through to the next round.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I'm in two minds. I've got what I think is a reasonable answer
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and I've got one that is a bit of a chancer.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Bit of a chancer? Go for that one. - I think I am. I'll go for Belarus.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Belarus, says Chris. Here's your red line.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14If you get below that red line with Belarus, you're in Round Two. Belarus.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16How many people said it? Is it right?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22You are in Round Two.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Six. Very, very well done indeed, Chris.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Six, our second best score of the round so far.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Your total is 16. Richard?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Another good team. Belarus. Used to be part of the Soviet Union
0:12:37 > 0:12:39until it became independent in 1991.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It shares a border with Russia.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Now, then, Rachel. Remind us what you're doing at the moment?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Geography!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- And where are you studying?- Dundee.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Yeah.- So.- I've gone a bit blank, though.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Because it needs to be a good answer,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02but the one I've got in my head, I don't even know if it borders the country I'm thinking.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03OK.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Andorra was my golden answer. Then it was Kazakhstan.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Right.- But they've gone.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14So I am just going to plump... It might be wrong, ..for Uzbekistan.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Uzbekistan. There's your red line.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21You're on 42. The high scorers are Ron and Emma on 63.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22You want to be scoring 20 or less.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Uzbekistan, says Rachel. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said Uzbekistan.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Ooh, bad luck, Rachel. I'm sorry. That's an incorrect answer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37That means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That takes your total up to 142.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Richard?- Yes, it's got five borders.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47It borders Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52But not Russia, I'm afraid. Very, very bad luck.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56There's no pointless answers at all. So let's look at the best answers you could have given.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00You could have got one point for Tajikistan, which borders China.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02One point for Laos, which also borders China.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05And Bhutan would have scored you two.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Russia, Azerbaijan scored two points, so would have been a great answer.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Lithuania scored six, Norway seven, Latvia eight,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Georgia and Estonia scored ten.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15The lowest scorers there.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17France, we had Andorra already.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Monaco scored five, so would have been a great answer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24China - Tajikistan and Laos on one, we've already seen.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Burma and Bhutan on two. Kyrgyzstan on two, and Pakistan four and Vietnam five.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33They were the best answers there. Let's see the answers that most of our 100 people said.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Ron's already given us Mexico, 54.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39But there are two worse answers than Mexico.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Spain would have scored 55. It borders France.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And Canada, that would have scored 61 points.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49the pair leaving us with their high score of 142,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Rachel and Harry, I'm so sorry.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56You did so well last time. We had very high hopes. Possibly too high.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- But it's been great having you on the show.- Thank you. - Thanks very much.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us. But we had one returning pair,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20who normally do really well, and they were geographers,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and the round was on geography, and look what you did to them!
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well, our category for Round Two is...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK. And the question concerns...
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Famous cooks, Richard.- We'll show you some clues to famous chefs and food writers.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Six on each pass. Just tell us who that chef or food writer is, please.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55A nice obscure answer will score fewer points.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59An incorrect answer is 100 points. There's 12 in all to get at home. Good luck.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03OK. Thanks very much. We are looking for the names of these famous cooks.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05And here are the clues.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Six clues to six famous cooks.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Chris?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I think I'm going to go for the third one.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'm going to go for Delia Smith.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Delia Smith "controversially used frozen mash". OK.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Delia Smith says Chris. Is that right, and if so, how many people knew that answer. Delia.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Absolutely right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Seems pretty good. 26 for Delia.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- She's famous for provoking food shortages in whatever she puts in her recipes.- Yes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- It was cranberries.- A cranberry shortage in 1995.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There was a North Wales sea salt shortage as well.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Now, then, Alan.- Yes. - Do you like your food?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I like my food.- Are you a bit of a foodie?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'm not confident with this at all.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But I'm going to go for number five
0:17:54 > 0:18:01because I believe he had some dealings with school meals
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and that's Jamie Oliver.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Jamie Oliver, says Alan, for the most inspiring political figure of 2005.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Jamie Oliver.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It is right. 26, our best score so far.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22That's a big one.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- 53 for Jamie Oliver.- His book, the 30-minute meals book,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30that came out in 2010 is the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33In ten weeks, it sold nearly three quarters of a million.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Wow.- Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39OK. Now, then, Emma. You're the last person to have this board.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You can take us through it, if you like, and fill in the blanks.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44The first two I have not got a clue.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48The bottom one I think might be Mrs Beeton.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54And then the posthumous one I think might be Keith Floyd.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58It's going to be a total guess so I'm going to go with Keith Floyd,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01posthumous 2009 memoir.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05OK. Keith Floyd, the subject of the memoir Stirred But Not Shaken.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said that.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Absolutely right, Emma.
0:19:13 > 0:19:1526 our best score so far.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Ooh, you've gone through that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Down to nine. That was a very good answer indeed.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Brilliant. Nine, Keith Floyd. - Well played, Emma.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29He absolutely transformed the face of TV chefs, I think.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Before him... You know, he would go out on trawlers and cook, and all sorts of things.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36He is before MasterChef Goes Large, or any of that stuff.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Nine points. You were right about the bottom one, as well.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Mrs Beeton. But it would have scored more points.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43So you chose the right one. 20, that would have got you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46The person who set up a business in 2012
0:19:46 > 0:19:49was for a Channel 4 series, "Gordon Behind Bars."
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Gordon Ramsay. That would have scored 15.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Do you know the top one? French Country Cooking?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Elizabeth David.- Ah!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00That would have scored four. That's the best answer up there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Emma and Ron looking very strong at this stage on a low score of nine.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Up to 26 where we find Chris and Stuart, pretty much in the middle.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And then up to 53, where Alan and Pat are to be found.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Luckily, though, Pat, I think you'll be very good on this next pass.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21We hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Can the second players please now take their places at the podium?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30OK. We'll put six more clues on the board
0:20:30 > 0:20:32to famous cooks, and here they are. We have got...
0:20:56 > 0:20:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18We are looking for the names of these famous cooks.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Ron, you're trying to find the lowest-scoring one you can on that board.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Ron, how do you feel about this as a round?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Not too bad. I know a couple of them, I think.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I'm going to try for the sixth one.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Signature dish including snail porridge and meat fruit, Heston Blumenthal.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Heston Blumenthal you are saying.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Our high scorers are Pat and Alan on 53. You're on nine.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41If you score 43 or less with Heston,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43you are through to the next round.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47There's your red line. Let's see how many people said Heston Blumenthal.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56You are in the head-to-head. Very well done. 26 for that.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Takes your total up to 35.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Extraordinarily successful chef and TV face, Heston Blumenthal.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Worked as a debt collector and photocopier salesman
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- as he was learning to be a chef. - Really?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now, then, Pat.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14How are you feeling?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I think I know a couple. I think one would be very high scoring.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20One of them I can't remember the surname.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26So I'm going to go for the writer who wrote An Invitation to Indian Cookery
0:22:26 > 0:22:28which I think is Madhur Jaffrey.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Madhur Jaffrey, says Pat. Madhur Jaffrey.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You are the high scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Let's see how many people said Madhur Jaffrey, if it's right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It is right.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Down it goes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47It's a good one. Look at that. 12. Very well done, Pat.
0:22:47 > 0:22:5112 for Madhur Jaffrey takes your total up to 65.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You are still way out in front, but let's hope that's good enough
0:22:54 > 0:22:56to see you through to the next round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58That puts the pressure on the last podium.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Madhur Jaffrey. She learnt to cook when she was training at RADA.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Her mum used to send her recipes so she didn't feel homesick.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- That's nice.- Nice. - Now, then, Stuart.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Stuart, it all rides on this.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14The high scorers are Pat and Alan on 65.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19You're on 26. If you can score 38 or less you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Right. Well, I only know one for sure.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Ainsley Harriott's obviously going to be Ready Steady Cook.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30I don't know whether to take a risk on the presenter of the BBC2 show The Very Hungry Frenchman.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I think Ainsley will probably score more than what I need to go through.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I'm going to go for The Very Hungry Frenchman
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and Jean-Christophe Novelli.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Jean-Christophe Novelli you say for The Very Hungry Frenchman.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- You're not entirely sure? - I've no idea to be honest.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Yes.- But you're hoping it might be right?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I'm hoping.- If it is, that is your red line.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55If it's right, it has to get below that red line to see you through.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Jean-Christophe Novelli.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Ooh, bad luck, Stuart.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:24:06 > 0:24:08which scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It takes your total to 126.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16That's very bad luck. It's not Jean-Christophe Novelli, a good guess, it's Raymond Blanc.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20It would have scored three points, his TV series.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23He started as a waiter, and one day the chef was ill so he took over.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Completely self taught.- Really? - Yeah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27It's quite good, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:32But even worse than that, you're right about Ainsley Harriott, and he would have seen you through.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33You're joking!
0:24:33 > 0:24:3632 points. You had to weigh up the risks.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- He'd only just have seen you through.- I thought he'd score 80 or 90 points!
0:24:41 > 0:24:45The TV film Toast is an adaptation of Nigel Slater's memoir.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Not a lot of food programmes on the BBC would have scored nine points.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50And cooked from her flat - do you know that one?
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- It's quite a new one, very kind of...- Not Lorraine Pascale? - ..stylish.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- It wasn't Lorraine Pascale, it was Rachel Khoo.- Right, yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00That scored two points. That's the best answer up there.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with a high score of 126,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I have to applaud your boldness, your valour.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13This bodes very well for your return.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We look forward to that. But meantime, Stuart, Chris,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24But for the two remaining pairs, they're one step closer to the final
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and a chance to win the jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Well, congratulations, Pat and Alan, Ron and Emma.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39you are now only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:25:39 > 0:25:41which currently stands at...
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Obviously only one pair can play for that money.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51To decide which pair it'll be, you'll now go head-to-head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53This time, you're allowed to confer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57The first pair to win two questions is through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00How long have our pairs been together? Pat and Alan, how long have you been married?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Five years.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Five years. Ron and Emma, how long have you been step-father and step-daughter?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Ten years.- Ooh!- No.- Oh, you heard that, Pat and Alan.- 20 years!
0:26:11 > 0:26:13No, we've been married... I've been married to your mam for ten.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18- Oh, I see!- You've been with us for like...- Yes, I've been with her for 20 years
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- but we've been married for ten. - I see. OK.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:36 > 0:26:37US Secretaries of State. Richard?
0:26:37 > 0:26:42I'll show you five pictures here of politicians who've all held the title US Secretary of State.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Can you name the most obscure?- OK.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Thanks. Let's reveal our five US Secretaries of State.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Here they are.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10There we are.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Now, then. Pat and Alan, you've played best throughout the show, so you get to go first.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I know the Christian name of A, but I can't remember the surname.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38So I think we'll have to go for E, which is Hillary Clinton.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41E, Hillary Clinton, say Pat and Alan. E, Hillary Clinton.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Now, Ron and Emma, talk us through the board if you can.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48I wish I could. The only one I think - I dragged it out the back of my mind -
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I think is Henry Kissinger.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- And that, of course, is?- B.- B.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53B, Henry Kissinger.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57So we have Hillary Clinton versus Henry Kissinger.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Pat and Alan said Hillary Clinton for E. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It is right.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Ooh, 82!
0:28:07 > 0:28:0982 for Hillary Clinton.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14So Ron and Emma have said B, Henry Kissinger.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Is it right? If so, how many people said Henry Kissinger?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It's right.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23And it wins you the question. Very well done.
0:28:30 > 0:28:3326 for Henry Kissinger wins the point for you, Ron and Emma.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35After one question, you're up one-nil. Richard?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39A would have won the point. Bill Clinton appointed the first female Secretary of State.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Have you remembered the name, Pat? - Madeleine Albright.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Madeleine Albright. Absolutely.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Would have been a terrific answer, scoring ten points.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50C is a pointless answer.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Cyrus Vance.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Well done to anyone who said that. Appointed by Jimmy Carter.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Madeleine Albright's predecessor is D.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Another low score. Warren Christopher is two points.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I could hear a collective sigh of relief from the nation
0:29:04 > 0:29:07when E came up! "Finally, one we recognise!"
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Now, Pat and Alan, we need you to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Astronomy, Richard.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26We'll give you five clues to facts about astronomy. Can you give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30OK. Here are the five clues to facts about astronomy. We have got...
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I'll read those one last time.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12When we say planets, we mean planets in our solar system.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15OK. Ron and Emma, you go first, this time.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26We'll go for the first question,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28and we'll have the Hubble telescope.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The Hubble telescope, say Ron and Emma. The Hubble telescope.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Now then, Pat and Alan. The board is yours. Talk us through it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Number two is probably not Halley's Comet, but it might be.
0:30:40 > 0:30:46The planet that's less dense than water could be Saturn.
0:30:46 > 0:30:502009 was the moon landing.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Which I guess is going to be high.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56The planet with the largest number of moons around it
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- could be Jupiter.- Jupiter.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- OK.- We'll go for the planet with the largest number of moons around it. Jupiter.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Jupiter, the planet with the largest number of moons around it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Jupiter. Ron and Emma said the Hubble telescope.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Is that right for the telescope carried into orbit in 1990.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14If it is, how many people said the Hubble telescope.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Absolutely right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:32Pat and Alan have tentatively named Jupiter as the planet with the largest number of moons around it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38Is that right, and if so, how many people said it? You have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41It's right!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Will it beat 42?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Yep, it will! Very well done indeed. 30.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Well done, Pat. Well done.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52This is very good indeed.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55So this means, after two questions, it's one-all.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Very well done. Richard? - Good choice, Pat and Alan.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00You had a crack at all of them in your deliberations.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03You're right that the anniversary of the landing was the moon landing.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06You were right to avoid it as it would have scored 78 points.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09You said Saturn was the planet that was less dense than water.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11And you were right. That would have scored nine.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14And what would you have said for the supernova?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- Halley's Comet?- No, it was a supernova that was visible for two years
0:32:18 > 0:32:21from China back in 1054,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25and it was the Crab Nebula, a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Thank you very much. Well avoided.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32You were about to go for Halley's Comet, weren't you?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Very well done. Here comes the decider. Question three.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Whoever wins this goes through to the final. It concerns...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Breeds of cattle. Richard?
0:32:43 > 0:32:47We'll show you the names of five breeds of cattle, but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Can you fill in the gaps? The team that does it most successfully will go into the jackpot round.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- Good luck!- OK, let's reveal our five breeds of cattle
0:32:55 > 0:32:57with missing alternate letters.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I'll read those again without the blanks!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29There we are. Five breeds of cow.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Pat and Alan, you go first.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45OK. The only one that we're sure of
0:33:45 > 0:33:47is the bottom one, Aberdeen Angus.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Aberdeen Angus, say Pat and Alan. Aberdeen Angus.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Now, then, Ron and Emma. The board's yours.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I think the second one down is Highland.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01That's the only one I know.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We'll go for Highland for the second one.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Ron and Emma say Highland.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07We have Aberdeen Angus versus Highland.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13Pat and Alan said Aberdeen Angus. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Absolutely right.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2841 for Aberdeen Angus. Ron and Emma have gone for Highland.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Is it right? If so, how many people said that?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Absolutely right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Is it going to beat 41?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Yes, it is! Look at that! 35!
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Very well done indeed.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4535 for Highland.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Which means, after three questions, Ron and Emma, you are through to the final two-one.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Very well done. Richard? - Yes, very well played. Alan,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55did you venture an answer for number three?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Dexter.- Correct answer. Would have seen you in the final, as well.
0:34:59 > 0:35:0116 points.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05The top one, there'll be some Scrabble fans who'll get this
0:35:05 > 0:35:09cos there's only one word that can fit in that and it's Droughtmaster.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Scored three points. An Australian breed of cattle.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15They're very good with the hot climate there.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18And Scrabble fans might have got this one, as well.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Belgian Blue.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23That was a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Thanks very much, Richard. So our losing pair
0:35:26 > 0:35:29at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Pat and Alan.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It's been lovely having you on the show. We'll see you again next time.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I'm afraid this is the end of the road for now.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Thanks very much for playing. Meanwhile, Pat and Alan.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44But for Ron and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Congratulations, Ron and Emma. You've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,250.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Well done. You've done so well throughout the whole show.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17A pretty tight, close-fought head-to-head.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21But you came through with those breeds of cow.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The rules are very simple for the final round.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25All you have to do to win the money is find a pointless answer.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Do that and you'll go home with that jackpot.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31First, you have to choose a category. We have five options. Here they are.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- It's going to have to be pop stars. - Pop stars.- Yep.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:49 > 0:36:54as many Rihanna UK Top 40 singles as they could.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- Richard?- Any single released by Rihanna or which has had her as a named featured artist
0:36:59 > 0:37:04which has reached the UK Top 40 prior to the beginning of November 2012, please.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Very best of luck.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Thanks very much. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12All you need to win that £3,250
0:37:12 > 0:37:15is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28Um, you've got her recent ones like, um...
0:37:28 > 0:37:30The only one I know is Umbrella.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Umbrella, that's gonna be a high scorer.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36We Found Love is going to be a high scorer.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Another one, Take A Bow.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Take A Bow.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Please Don't Stop The Music. That's a high score.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- So we'll say Take A Bow.- Take A Bow.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Please Don't Stop The Music. Can you think of any other ones?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Disturbia.- Disturbia. OK.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Disturbia. Take A Bow and Please Don't Stop The Music.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Yeah? Go for that? Take A Bow, Disturbia, Please Don't Stop The Music.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I'll just think for the rest of the time.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Ten seconds left.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Yeah, we'll have to go for them. - Go for them three.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Right. OK.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20OK.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Well, time is up now.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25We were looking for Rihanna UK Top 40 singles.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I now need your three answers.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28- Take A Bow.- Take A Bow.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Disturbia.- Disturbia. - And Please Don't Stop The Music.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Please Don't Stop The Music.- Yep.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Of those three which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Probably Disturbia. - We'll put that last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Of those three, which is your least likely?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Please Don't Stop The Music. - Please Don't Stop The Music.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55We were looking for Rihanna UK Top 40 singles.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01Your first answer was Please Don't Stop The Music. This was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04You only have to find one to win that jackpot, remember.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09So, your first shot at that £3,250 jackpot is Please Don't Stop The Music.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Is it right? How many people said it?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Bad luck. An incorrect answer.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22But that was kind of just filling a space there, wasn't it?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24You weren't really expecting that to be pointless.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28OK. Not a pointless answer, so only two more shots at today's jackpot
0:39:28 > 0:39:30of £3,250.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Ron, what would you do with that money if you were to win?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36My granddaughter's just taken up pony riding
0:39:36 > 0:39:40so I'd get her some tack equipment and stuff like that.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Very good. Emma? How about you?
0:39:42 > 0:39:48I'm coming up to my 30th, so I'd probably book a special holiday, Las Vegas or somewhere like that.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Very good. We're looking for Rihanna UK Top 40 singles.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Take A Bow.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02For £3,250, how many people said Take A Bow.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Please Don't Stop The Music was an incorrect answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Take A Bow is right. It's taking us down through the twenties
0:40:14 > 0:40:16into the teens down into single figures.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Down it goes. Oh, four!
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Very well done.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25That's more like it. Four.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Good answer.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Not a pointless answer, but a very good low scoring answer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Disturbia. Everything rides on that.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36£3,250 could be yours if that is pointless.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Rihanna UK Top 40 singles.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Let's see how many people said Disturbia.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Well, it's right.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Please Don't Stop The Music was incorrect.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Take A Bow took us down to four.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Disturbia taking us down through the teens
0:40:56 > 0:40:58into single figures. Down it goes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Oh, no, it's four!
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Tell you what, both of those are excellent scores.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Four. Think how pleased you'd be with that in normal game play.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13But in this final round, it's all or nothing.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15It has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20So two brilliant answers, but unfortunately you didn't find that crucial pointless answer.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,250
0:41:23 > 0:41:25which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28But you played so well. A solid performance throughout the show.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Thank you very much. You take home the Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Good answers.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Take A Bow and Disturbia were released back in 2008.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47It's not Please Don't Stop The Music, it's just Don't Stop The Music.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49It would have scored three points, though.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It would have just prolonged the agony, I'm afraid.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Let's see some of the pointless answers.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58All Of The Lights, the Kanye West song she featured on.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00If I Never See Your Face Again
0:42:00 > 0:42:02she released with Maroon 5.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07If It's Lovin' That You Want, one of her very early hits, a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Live Your Life, T.I. featuring Rihanna.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Run This Town, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna was a pointless answer. No-one got that.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Take Care, Drake featuring Rihanna. A pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21We Ride, another of her early hits.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Who's That Chick, David Guetta and Rihanna, a pointless answer.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27You Da One. And there's one other pointless answer,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Talk That Talk, released with Jay-Z.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Well done if you got any of those pointless answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33How many of those did you know?
0:42:33 > 0:42:37You Da One is one of my favourites of hers! I should have had that, really.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Oh, it's hard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Ron and Emma.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- It's been brilliant having you here. - Thanks for having us.- Brilliant.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49So Ron and Emma didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:49 > 0:42:51so it rolls over to the next show
0:42:51 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £4,250.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Goodbye!- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
