0:00:18 > 0:00:22CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, the quiz where the questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:00:29 > 0:00:33Our contestants have to come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE

0:00:39 > 0:00:44- Couple number one. - Hello, I'm Pat. This is my husband, Alan, and we're from Exeter.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Couple number two. - My name's Stuart from Dunham. This is my friend Chris from Retford.

0:00:48 > 0:00:53- Couple number three.- I'm David. This is my wife, Caroline. We're from Burton-on-Trent.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55And our fourth and final couple.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59I'm Chris. I'm from north Cornwall. This is my sister, Sarah.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- These, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE

0:01:04 > 0:01:08We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11There's only one person left for me to introduce.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Saving us from a sea of misinformation, like a bespectacled David Hasselhoff.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard. - RICHARD LAUGHS

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Hiya. Hello. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Yeah, you are.- Oh, that's good.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31- I'd like to be a bespectacled David Hasselhoff. God! That's hard to say!- It is!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- How are you this afternoon? - I couldn't be better.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37We've got two returning pairs who last time should have gone through.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Both knew right answers and went for something else.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45So they're both very strong pairs, which I know is bad news for our two new pairs.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49I'd be very surprised if one of them doesn't win, surely.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Surely.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Surely. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Each time, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Ron and Emma didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13So today's jackpot starts off at...

0:02:13 > 0:02:15AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29In this first round, I'm going to take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated, so try and make sure it's not you.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Our first category today is...

0:02:39 > 0:02:44It's authors. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52The question concerns...

0:02:55 > 0:02:58..Literary works written under a pen name. Richard.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02On each pass, we're going to show you seven books that were written under a pen name.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06We'll also give you the real name of the person who wrote that book.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Tell us the pen name under which each of these was written.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13A nice obscure answer scores fewer points. An incorrect answer, that's 100 points.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very good luck.- OK.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22So, we're going to give you the names of literary works and the name of the author in brackets.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25We just need the pseudonym under which they wrote those works.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Here is our first board...

0:03:46 > 0:03:48..I'll read those one last time...

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Seven literary works.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11We are looking for the pen names under which the authors wrote them.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Alan, welcome back to the show.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18What happened last time?

0:04:18 > 0:04:25We got to the head-to-head and I never had the courage to go for an answer which I knew.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- And, er...we lost.- It's very hard.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33Do you go for a really obscure one where you only have a 50% certainty that it might be right?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37I wish I had, because I'm struggling here.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Yeah. Quite a tough subject this one.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Is literature a good one for you? - Not at all.- Do you read much?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45On holiday.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I've read All Creatures Great And Small.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51I can't remember. I'm going to have to take a guess.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's a silly guess, but A Clergyman's Daughter,

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Shakespeare. - Now, Alan!

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- LAUGHTER - Now, come on.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03You're going to go for A Clergyman's Daughter, Shakespeare, says Alan.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Shakespeare. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck, Alan.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. That score the maximum of 100 points.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Genuinely, that's what podium one can do. We've seen a whole show of Alan last time.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24We genuinely know you answered every single thing last time very well.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28The lights come on, podium one comes on. There's a board that panics you.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31And suddenly, you're saying Shakespeare on national television.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- LAUGHTER - And you know it's not right.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38I could see the inside of your brain screaming.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- But we've seen Alan before.- We've seen Alan before. He'll be back.

0:05:42 > 0:05:48I don't know if he'll bounce back from this, but he's put in some groundwork so we know he's good.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52It may not be the last 100 score in this round.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Anyway, now then, Stuart. Welcome back to the show.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59- You did a very brave thing last time.- Was it brave or stupid?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Genuinely, I think that was very brave, indeed.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04- You had an answer, Ainsley Harriott. - Yeah.

0:06:04 > 0:06:10You thought, "That's going to score too much." So you took a massive gamble on something you didn't know.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15- And Ainsley Harriott would have got you through.- It's the risk you've got to take, but never mind.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Yeah. Anyway, good to have you back. What are your hobbies?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23I like a round of golf, although I'm not particularly good at it.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Going to gigs, going out for a few pints.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Favourite band?- Probably Oasis. Interpol, the National.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- The Fall. Quite an obscure mix. - Very good.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Now then, Stuart.- Yeah. - We can put it off no longer.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- How does this board look to you? - It looks terrible.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Will you be joining Alan up there?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44More than likely. I sort of know one.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47All Creatures Great And Small is James Herriot.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it. James Herriot.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's right.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01APPLAUSE

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- 34 for James Herriot. - Alf White created the pseudonym

0:07:08 > 0:07:12because he didn't want to offend anyone in his community.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16Hugely successful book series, TV series, films.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- A little bit of everything.- Indeed.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Caroline, welcome.- Hello.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Now, tell us what you do, Caroline. - I'm a foot health practitioner.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Oh, very good! A foot health practitioner.- Yes.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Have you always been a foot health practitioner?- No.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38I was a registered nurse for quite a few years.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Then you spotted there were more openings in feet?- Yes!

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- How long have you been doing it for? - Two and a half years.- Very good.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- So, David, you get a bit of foot work done, do you? - Occasionally, when she has time.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Oh, very nice indeed. Now, Caroline, do you get time to read books?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- No, not really. - Written under pen names?- No.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Very tough round, this one. - Yes, it's awful.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I only knew one and that's gone. - LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I'm going to have to make up a name as well.- Excellent.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Are you going to...- I'm going to do it as well.- ..use a bit of reason?

0:08:10 > 0:08:15I don't think so. I'm going to say something just as ridiculous.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Now, which one should I choose?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- A Clergyman's Daughter... - Ooh, yeah. Gone for that one again!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Agatha Christie.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Yes. I... - LAUGHTER

0:08:28 > 0:08:30LAUGHS

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Yes, who knows? Maybe Eric Blair was her real name.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35LAUGHTER

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Eric Blair, Agatha Christie? Is that right?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40If it is, how many people said it?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Oh, that's a surprise! - Bad luck, Caroline.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49That's an incorrect answer. Scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- I think I would have gone for a man. - LAUGHTER

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I think.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I mean, often pseudonyms are non gender specific.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Certainly. I won't mention any, but yeah.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02But, er... Yeah. Incorrect.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06As it turns out. Eric Blair not Agatha Christie.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- So, who dunnit, A Clergyman's Daughter? - LAUGHTER

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Now, then. Chris G.- Hello.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Welcome. And you have come from Cornwall.- That's correct.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- What do you do in Cornwall?- I'm a designer for a newspaper company.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Several newspapers? - Yeah, we produce three different newspapers from our office.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28And we produce brochures and guides and things like that as well.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that? - I'm a keen darts player.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34I represent Cornwall at darts.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38And during summer, I play cricket for a team in the league.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Quite sporty.- This is serious. You represent your county at darts.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46- I can be serious. - That's a proper county. They like their darts down there.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49- That's not an easy team to get into. - How many are there in the team?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52In the county team, we have a squad of 36 players.

0:09:52 > 0:09:5424 men and 12 ladies.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Including this lady!- Ah!

0:09:56 > 0:09:59We both play for the Cornwall darts A-team.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Very good. It's impressive.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Chris, you're the last person to have this board.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06We are looking for the pseudonyms

0:10:06 > 0:10:09under which these authors wrote these literary works.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I thought I might be able to have a go.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'm a bit more confident now there's been a couple of wrong answers.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I think I know the top one.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I've never read it, but I know there was a movie

0:10:20 > 0:10:24and it was titled Lemony Snicket's, A Series Of Unfortunate Events.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I'll try Lemony Snicket, please. - Lemony Snicket, says Chris G,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30for A Series Of Unfortunate Events.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Lemony Snicket.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36It's right.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Well done, Chris. 34 our best score so far.

0:10:40 > 0:10:4316, very well done, indeed.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- 16's a lovely finish for a darts player.- One of my favourites.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Nice number to leave yourself on. Lemony Snicket, absolutely right.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59He's written 13 of that series.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Now, A Clergyman's Daughter. You weren't written by Shakespeare.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06That much we know! You weren't written by Agatha Christie.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Who WERE you written by? Xander, you'll know this.

0:11:09 > 0:11:14- It's George Orwell.- Eric Blair writes under the name George Orwell.

0:11:14 > 0:11:1652 points. A Clockwork Orange was...?

0:11:16 > 0:11:20I always think it's Guy Burgess but it's not. He's the spy.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- It's the other Burgess. - Anthony Burgess.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25That would have scored 11.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Heart Of Darkness?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Is Conrad.- Joseph Conrad. Yeah. Seven points.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35A Fatal Inversion. Ruth Rendell obviously writes under her own name.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38When she writes darker psychological books, she writes under the name,

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Barbara Vine. Two points. And one point...

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- This I know!- Much more famous for writing something else.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- He's known as...?- Herge! - The writer of Tintin. One point.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54- Herge because it was GR backwards. - FRENCH PRONUNCIATION:- "R-G".

0:11:54 > 0:11:59- RG.- The Seven Crystal Balls is a Tintin book without the name Tintin in it.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Slightly doesn't give you the clue. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Chris G and Sarah,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10very well done with Lemony Snicket. Cracking answer.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13And commensurate cracking score.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Then up to 34, where we find Stuart and Chris C.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Then up to 100, where we find Caroline and David and Alan and Pat.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Everything to play for in this pass.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26David and Pat, you'll have to jockey it out to see who is going to stay.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Very best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:12:33 > 0:12:37We're going to put seven more literary works on the board. Here they come...

0:12:51 > 0:12:55- ..Agatha Christie. Ooh... - LAUGHTER

0:12:58 > 0:13:00..I'll read those one last time...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15..There are the literary works

0:13:15 > 0:13:18and the real names of the authors.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22What you need to do is supply their pen names. Now, then, Sarah.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Oh, Sarah!

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Tell us about your life in north Cornwall. What do you do?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I've just started a new job.- Is it good?- I'm a teaching assistant.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36- Are you enjoying it?- Loving it. - So far, they seem fine? - They're lovely.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- What do you do in your spare time? - I play darts for Cornwall!

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- So I gather.- Yeah.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- What are you going to go for, Sarah? - Um...

0:13:45 > 0:13:46I don't know!

0:13:46 > 0:13:51I'll go Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found there,

0:13:51 > 0:13:53CS Lewis, I've no idea! Sorry.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56CS Lewis.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Well, the high-scorers are David and Caroline and Pat and Alan on 100.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05You're on 16 which means, if you score 83 or less, you're through to the next round.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Thanks to Chris's answer, you're in a strong position.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10There is your red line. CS Lewis, says Sarah.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21It scores you 100 points. Takes your total to 116.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Richard.- Sorry, Sarah. Getting more 100s than I thought we would.- Yeah.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Plenty of 100s.- Yeah.- Now, David.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Welcome to the show. What do you do, David?

0:14:31 > 0:14:37I was a teacher for 36 years. Now I've changed profession and I walk dogs.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41- How many dogs do you walk?- I walk four at the moment, plus my own.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Not all together. All separately. - Oh, really?- Yes.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Wow! On a sort of rota?- Yes.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Is it your choice not to walk them all together or do they not get on?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53They probably wouldn't get on but it's my choice.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- You get a LOT of walking done.- Yeah.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- What did you teach, David? - I taught history.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Ah. I wish he'd said English. - LAUGHTER

0:15:02 > 0:15:08How are you feeling about this board? You're only 15 points behind the high-scorers, Sarah and Chris.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13So you really want to be scoring low here,

0:15:13 > 0:15:15to get through to the next round.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19We need some very good answering. Our lowest score has been 16.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22It has to be lower than that.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29I'll go Smiley's People, John le Carre.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31John le Carre, says David, for Smiley's People.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Here's your red line. Below that, you're through to the next round.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Let's see how many of our 100 said John le Carre.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Absolutely right.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48You've done it!

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Very well played, David.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54You and Caroline are through to round two.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58That's the stuff, David.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- He might be my favourite author, John le Carre.- He's very good.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05Often called a spy-turned-writer. He says, "No. I was always a writer.

0:16:05 > 0:16:11"I happened to spend a couple of ineffectual years as a member of British Intelligence."

0:16:11 > 0:16:16- Now then, Chris C. Remind us what you do.- I'm a retail manager for a well-known supermarket.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Very well-known supermarket. - Very well-known.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- What do you like to get up to in your spare time?- A lot of sport.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Watching films, watching television. - Reading books?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Ah. Not REALLY.

0:16:29 > 0:16:35OK. Now, Chris. We are looking for the pen names under which these literary works were written.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- How does that board look? - To be honest, it looks awful.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40It looks truly, truly awful.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44The only thing I'm going on - it's probably really outrageous -

0:16:44 > 0:16:48but The Lorax, I'm going to go for Dr Seuss.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Dr Seuss says Chris C for The Lorax. There's your red line.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56If you get below that red line, you're into the second round -

0:16:56 > 0:17:00one round away from being able to put your heads together and confer.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Is it right? How many people said Dr Seuss?

0:17:05 > 0:17:06It's right.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09You are through to the next round.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11APPLAUSE

0:17:13 > 0:17:16That's good enough. Takes your total up to 78. Very well done indeed.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well done, Chris. You did know it. Absolutely. Dr Seuss.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It was his mother's maiden name.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25- She's from Bavaria, so it would have been pronounced "Zoiss".- Oh.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Dr "Zoiss".- Dr "Zoiss". - There we are.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Brilliant. Now then, Pat.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Oh! The most dramatic moment comes here.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37The high-scorers on 116 are Sarah and Chris G. You are on 100.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42You have to score 15 or less, otherwise it's goodbye, Pat and Alan.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44How does the board look to you?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47It's not great. I knew John le Carre.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50The bottom one is Lewis Carroll.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52The only other one I can remember

0:17:52 > 0:17:56is The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, which is Mark Twain.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58That's the one you're going for?

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Mark Twain, you are saying, for Samuel Clemens.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Here's your red line. It's low.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09But maybe people won't know that. Let's find out how many people said Mark Twain.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13It's right.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, 30! Pat!

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Takes your total up to 130.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Richard.- Unlucky, Pat.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Perfectly good answer, Mark Twain.

0:18:30 > 0:18:36Famously got that name - it's a boatman's thing about marking two fathoms down in a river.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Mark Twain. Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Through The Looking Glass was Lewis Carroll rather than CS Lewis.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's one of those you get mixed up in your head. 32 points.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50The Running Man? Stephen King wrote a series under a different name.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Yes, he did.- Richard Bachman.- Ah!

0:18:53 > 0:18:55That would have scored seven points. Candide?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- It's Voltaire.- Absolutely right. Would have scored you five.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Agatha Christie wrote six novels under a pseudonym,

0:19:02 > 0:19:06more sort of tragic, romantic novels under the name...

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Mary Westmacott.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11That would have scored two points. It's a terrific answer.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Should have gone with Eric Blair!

0:19:13 > 0:19:18At the end of our first round, the losing pair with the high score of 130,

0:19:18 > 0:19:20it's Pat and Alan!

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Head-to-headers last time. Rounder oners this time, I'm afraid.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27It's been great having you on the show. So sorry we have to say goodbye.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32- I honestly thought you were going to be through to the final.- Yes. But...

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Thanks very much for playing. Alan and Pat, great contestants.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37APPLAUSE

0:19:38 > 0:19:42For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49There's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,

0:19:49 > 0:19:54so one of the pairs in front of me will sadly be leaving at the end of this round.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56We had three 100s in the last round - Pat and Alan,

0:19:56 > 0:20:01David and Caroline, Chris and Sarah. Nothing from you, Stuart and Chris.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- That'll have settled your nerves. - Yeah.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Very best of luck for this round. Our category for round two is...

0:20:08 > 0:20:13Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Let's find out what the question is.

0:20:21 > 0:20:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many actors in The Godfather trilogy as they could.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30We're looking for any actor who's received a credit

0:20:30 > 0:20:34in any of the movies in The Godfather trilogy, according to IMDB.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Any actor who's received a credit in one of those movies.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Very best of luck. There's a huge amount of answers.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43OK, thanks very much indeed.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Stuart...- Yeah.- Do you know and love The Godfather trilogy?

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- I have actually only seen the third one.- That'll do.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Any actor or actress in the third one.- OK.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57I can name one. He's probably going to score pretty high.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59I'll have to go with it. Andy Garcia.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Andy Garcia, says Stuart.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's see if that's right and how many people said Andy Garcia.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Absolutely right.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Ooh, it's not bad.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Very well done, indeed. Four for Andy Garcia.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26He plays Vincent Mancini, so very well played. Good start.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Now then, Caroline. You've seen The Godfather films.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I have, but I can't remember today. - LAUGHTER

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Blank. Um...

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Al Pacino?- Al Pacino, says Caroline.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Al Pacino.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49It's right.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02He plays Michael Corleone and he's in all three films, Al Pacino.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Now then, Chris G.- Oh.

0:22:05 > 0:22:10We are looking for any actor or actress who appeared in any of The Godfather films.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13This is one trilogy I've never seen.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16You've seen ALL the other trilogies?

0:22:16 > 0:22:18LAUGHTER Yeah. I've seen them all.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Chris.- I'm really struggling with this. I'm going to have to say Marlon Brando.

0:22:23 > 0:22:28Marlon Brando. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Marlon Brando.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's right.

0:22:39 > 0:22:44He plays Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather trilogy. His real name is...

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Agatha Christie! His real name. - LAUGHTER

0:22:47 > 0:22:53Changed it when he was a young actor cos there was another Agatha Christie working in American film.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Four is the lowest score, Stuart. Very well done there.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Stuart and Chris looking extremely strong.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Then up to 47, we find Caroline and David.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10Then up to 66, Chris G and Sarah.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13We're going to need some good scoring from you, Sarah.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Oh, dear. Anyway, best of luck.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:22 > 0:23:28Sarah, we are looking for the name of any actor or actress who appeared in any of The Godfather films.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- You're shaking your head. - I've no idea.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Have you seen The Godfather films? - No. No.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Um... Oh, my days!

0:23:39 > 0:23:44I don't even know an actor. I'll just say John Goodman.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47John Goodman, says Sarah. You're the high-scorers on 66.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49No red line for you.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Just have to hope John Goodman's right and very obscure.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55He's one of those things in this context, certainly!

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Let's see if John Goodman was in any of The Godfather films and how many people said it.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Ooh, bad luck! Great actor, though.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08Love John Goodman. I'm afraid he wasn't in The Godfather trilogy.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10You score the maximum of 100 points.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13But again, it does show the pressure.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17I know you literally couldn't think of the name of an actor.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21It just gets inside your head. But you did come up with an actor.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26OK, David, the pressure's off a little bit.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29The high-scorers are Sarah and Chris on 166.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32You'll never overtake their high score. Phew!

0:24:32 > 0:24:35We're looking for the name of anyone who appeared in The Godfather films.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Did you see all The Godfather films? - I did, but an awful long time ago.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Ooh, yes.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44I THINK James Caan was in it.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49James Caan. No red line, you're already through to the next round.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Let's see how many people said James Caan.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's right.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Very well done indeed, David.

0:25:05 > 0:25:0763 is your total. Richard.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well done, David. James Caan played Sonny Corleone in the first film,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14the violent and impulsive child of Don Vito.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Chris, again, good news. You're through to the next round.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21So the pressure is off. However, how well did Stuart do?

0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Stuart thought it was going to be a high score.- Very well indeed.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29For the sake of honour, we should have another low score from you.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33I would LOVE to give a low score, however, I've never seen the films.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38- The terror in me wants to try and beat Stu.- You still could.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43The only actor that I can envisage from back then is probably Joe Pesci.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47- You're going for Joe Pesci. What do you think, Stuart?- I think so.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Sounds like a cracking answer. - Got an Italian sounding name.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52LAUGHTER

0:25:52 > 0:25:55OK, let's see if Joe Pesci is right.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58And if it is, let's see how many people said Joe Pesci.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Ooh, no! Bad luck.

0:26:02 > 0:26:07But a brilliant guess. You're through to the next round anyhow.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12- Richard.- Yeah, Joe Pesci's brilliant in Goodfellas but not in The Godfather trilogy.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14There's an awful lot of answers.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19If you got a name not on this list but is on IMDB, you got a pointless answer.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24One point for Richard Castellano, Sterling Hayden, Richard Conte and Gianni Russo.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28Two points for Talia Shire, Sofia Coppola and John Cazale.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32We had four points for Andy Garcia. Robert Duvall scored nine.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Diane Keaton would have scored you 11.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37We've had James Caan. Robert De Niro would have scored you 20.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Those are the only people who got any points.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Let's look at some pointless answers, some more familiar ones.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Bridget Fonda, pointless answer.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Bruno Kirby, more well-known for comedy films -

0:26:47 > 0:26:52When Harry Met Sally and Spinal Tap. Danny Aiello was a pointless answer.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Eli Wallach, George Hamilton was a pointless answer,

0:26:57 > 0:27:02that famously permatanned actor, was in the third part of the trilogy.

0:27:02 > 0:27:08Harry Dean Stanton, was in Paris, Texas, all sorts of cool films.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Joe Mantegna, Lee Strasberg - more famous as an acting coach -

0:27:11 > 0:27:14and Troy Donahue, all of those pointless.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19- If I didn't read out one, whatever answer you got was pointless. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22At the end of round two, our losing pair with their score of 166,

0:27:22 > 0:27:26it's Sarah and Chris - that was really tough, wasn't it?

0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Tough if you haven't seen it.- Yeah.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Mind you, Chris C hadn't seen it! He came up with Joe Pesci.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Obviously, it was wrong, but... - LAUGHTER

0:27:35 > 0:27:39You did very well and I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you. We'll see you next time.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43Thanks very much for playing, Sarah and Chris.

0:27:45 > 0:27:50For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Congratulations, David and Caroline, Stuart and Chris,

0:27:58 > 0:28:04you are only one round away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at...

0:28:04 > 0:28:06AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:28:08 > 0:28:13Obviously, only one pair can play for that money. You're now going to go head-to-head.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16This time, you are allowed to confer.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Now, we've had a lot of 100s scored this game.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25Five of them, and we've had one each from you.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28We had Joe Pesci and we had Agatha Christie.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32- THEY LAUGH - Of those two, I know which I prefer.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36- LAUGHTER - You can now put your head together.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Anything can happen in this round. Very best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:28:51 > 0:28:54New York City attractions. Richard.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58We're going to show you five pictures of famous landmark buildings in New York City.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Can you name any of these buildings?

0:29:00 > 0:29:04So, let's reveal our five photos of landmarks in New York.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06We have got...

0:29:25 > 0:29:27..Five New York City attractions.

0:29:27 > 0:29:32David and Caroline, you played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34THEY WHISPER

0:29:40 > 0:29:43LAUGHING: We don't actually know any.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47But we're going to go for D,

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Grand Central Station.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Grand Central Station, D.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Very good indeed, Grand Central Station, they are saying, is D.

0:29:56 > 0:30:01- Stuart and Chris.- We thought about going for that one as well. - Talk us through the board.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05I thought A was Trump Tower - and that was it!

0:30:05 > 0:30:08I don't know C, don't know E.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12We're going to have to go for B, which is the Chrysler Building.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15You're going to say B, the Chrysler Building.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19So we have Grand Central Station and we have the Chrysler Building.

0:30:19 > 0:30:24Caroline said Grand Central Station. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28It's right.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39That's pretty good. You happy with that?

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Stuart and Chris have gone for the Chrysler Building.

0:30:42 > 0:30:47Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's right.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Will it beat 19?

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Ooh, yes it will! Chrysler Building goes down to ten.

0:31:02 > 0:31:06- You look a bit surprised. Was that a guess?- No.- A stab in the dark?

0:31:06 > 0:31:09I recognised it cos it's got them funny triangle things.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13He was saying the Empire State Building to try and fool us.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Very well done, Stuart and Chris.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18After one question, you are up, one-nil. Richard.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Chrysler Building, briefly the tallest building in the world.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25Grand Central has more platforms than any station in the world.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29- It's got 44 platforms.- Wow! That IS grand!- Isn't it, though?

0:31:29 > 0:31:32- And very centrally located. - LAUGHTER

0:31:32 > 0:31:35A, not Trump Tower, so would have lost you the point.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39It's the headquarters of the UN.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Would have scored you eight points.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45C is a pointless answer.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48It's got "Music Hall" written there. It's got "Andrew Car...".

0:31:48 > 0:31:51It's Carnegie Hall.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Well done if you said that at home.

0:31:53 > 0:31:58And E is on the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02Very distinctive shape. Would have scored nine points.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes our second question.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10David and Caroline, we need you to win this to stay in the game.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Best of luck. It concerns...

0:32:15 > 0:32:19Liberal Democrat Members of Parliament. Richard.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21We're going to show you five anagrams of MPs

0:32:21 > 0:32:27who've represented the Liberal Democrats in the Houses of Parliament since the 1980s.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32Let's reveal our anagrams of Lib-Dem MPs, and here they are.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34We have got...

0:32:45 > 0:32:47..I'll read those one last time...

0:32:56 > 0:32:59..Stuart and Chris, you go first.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03I don't know whether to risk it or go for one that we know.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06CHRIS WHISPERS

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Yeah, we're going to take a little risk

0:33:09 > 0:33:13and go for "SEEK DRY CHANNEL" is Charles Kennedy.

0:33:13 > 0:33:17"SEEK DRY CHANNEL", Charles Kennedy, you are going to say.

0:33:17 > 0:33:23Now, then, David and Caroline. The board is yours. Talk us through those other anagrams, if you can.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26I think number four's Paddy Ashdown.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31I'm going to go - you might have asked a lot of young people -

0:33:31 > 0:33:33with the bottom one, David Steel.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35OK, David Steel.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39So, we have Charles Kennedy and we have David Steel.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43Stuart and Chris, you've said Charles Kennedy.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 said it.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's right!

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Four! Now then, David and Caroline going for David Steel.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 said that.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13David Steel.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16It's absolutely right.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20Will it beat four? It needs to if you're going to stay in the game.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Ooh!

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Two great answers, but Charles Kennedy pips it,

0:34:32 > 0:34:36just because it's a more tricky anagram, I think, but Stuart and Chris, very well done.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40After two questions, you are through to the final, two-nil.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Good thinking, David, to go for the older one, but too many points.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47You were right about Paddy Ashdown, but he would have scored too many.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52The biggest score is "CANCEL VIBE", which is...?

0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Vince Cable.- Absolutely.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59There is an answer that would have beaten Charles Kennedy.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Very well done to anyone who got that.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, it's David and Caroline.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14Two brilliant answers. You scored under 20 in each of those.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18You were just up against Stuart and Chris, who found fantastic form with the Chrysler Building.

0:35:18 > 0:35:23- I think you were surprised that the Chrysler Building beat Grand Central.- Definitely.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25- Amazing.- But...- Anyway, it did.

0:35:25 > 0:35:30No fault of yours, David and Caroline. A very hard-fought close head-to-head.

0:35:30 > 0:35:35We'll really look forward to seeing you next time when I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38Thanks very much for playing, David and Caroline.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40APPLAUSE

0:35:40 > 0:35:44But for Stuart and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Congratulations, Stuart and Chris, you fought off all the competition

0:35:50 > 0:35:53and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01You now have a chance of winning our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:36:04 > 0:36:06AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

0:36:08 > 0:36:12- What would you like to see in this round?- Football or music, maybe.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17- Capital cities, perhaps, but definitely football. - OK. The rules are very simple.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22All you have to do is find a pointless answer and you will leave with £4,250.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26First, you choose a category and here are your five options. Good luck...

0:36:33 > 0:36:35LAUGHTER

0:36:35 > 0:36:38THEY WHISPER

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Distinguished people could be anyone from the Royal family.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45I don't fancy classical music. Distinguished people, no.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Katie Price, not a bad shout.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51- I like world geography.- Yeah.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54- We're going to go for world geography.- OK, world geography.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Let's find out what the question is.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:36:59 > 0:37:04to name as many capital cities of countries beginning with S

0:37:04 > 0:37:07as they could - capital cities of countries beginning with S.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Richard.- So any country in the world beginning with S,

0:37:10 > 0:37:13we're looking for the capital city of one of those countries.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16So any country beginning with S, the capital city.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21Very best of luck. As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:24 > 0:37:29All you need to win that jackpot of £4,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Are you ready?- Yeah. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Your time starts now.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Capital of Suriname is Paramambo.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42Yeah. And I think Damascus is the capital of Syria.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46How do you pronounce Para... Para... Paramambo?

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Para... I haven't got a clue.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51So, Suriname. We've got Paramambo.

0:37:51 > 0:37:57Damascus, Syria. Think of another country beginning with S.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Spain.- Stockholm, Sweden.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01South Africa.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Keep saying them.- Johannesburg.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Keep saying the countries. S. Sudan.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Sudan. Senegal.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Senegal is Dakar.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Do that?- Yeah. We've got Paramambo...- Yeah.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19- You can stop the clock.- Oh, this is impressive! Very good work.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23We're looking for capital cities of countries beginning with S.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- I now need your three answers. - We'll say the capital of Suriname is Paramambo.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Paramambo.- Yeah.

0:38:29 > 0:38:34- The capital of Syria is Damascus. - Damascus.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36- What was the last one?- Um, Senegal.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38- The capital of Senegal is Dakar. - Dakar.

0:38:38 > 0:38:44Of those three, which do you think is your most likely shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:44 > 0:38:49Capital of Suriname, I believe, is probably our most likely shot of a pointless answer.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53- We'll put that last. - We'll put Syria first. I'm not sure whether Damascus is the capital.

0:38:53 > 0:38:58And Dakar in the middle. Let's put those up on the board in that order.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00We have got...

0:39:03 > 0:39:07We were looking for capital cities of countries beginning with S.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Damascus was your least confident answer.

0:39:10 > 0:39:15You only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £4,250.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Damascus.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21It's right.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25If this takes us all the way down to zero,

0:39:25 > 0:39:29you are leaving with £4,250 in your pockets.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Down into single figures.

0:39:37 > 0:39:42Not a pointless answer, but you'd have been surprised. It was kind of filling a space.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Lots of people have heard of Damascus. It's in the news a lot.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52We're now into the serious game here.

0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Two very good answers.- I'm starting to think this might be wrong.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Well, £4,250. Chris, what would you do with that?

0:39:59 > 0:40:01I've always wanted to go to New York.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05I think I'm going to go and take a picture of me in those locations.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Definitely.- If we win.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Definitely, yes. Stuart, how about you?

0:40:11 > 0:40:15I'd probably just go on a big spending spree or treat myself to a little holiday.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Maybe not as exotic as New York. - Well, very, very best of luck.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23Let's hope one of your next two answers wins that jackpot for you.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Next answer was Dakar.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30To win the jackpot, let's see how many of our 100 people said Dakar.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35It's right.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Your first answer of Damascus took us all the way to eight.

0:40:41 > 0:40:46Dakar, slightly better, more obscure answer...

0:40:47 > 0:40:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:49 > 0:40:53Very well done. That's brilliant.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Very well done. Brilliant!

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Absolutely fantastic!

0:41:06 > 0:41:11Dakar was a pointless answer, which means you go home with that jackpot of £4,250.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:18 > 0:41:23Well played, Stuart and Chris. You've been brilliant both shows. You really deserve that.

0:41:23 > 0:41:29If we'd had to go on to your final answer, Paramambo, I wouldn't have accepted it. It's Paramaribo.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32If you had said Paramaribo, though, it would have scored one point.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36Oh, God! And we only just threw Senegal in as... Well.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39You said it right at the last second.

0:41:39 > 0:41:44It was the only pointless answer you said during your consultation with each other.

0:41:44 > 0:41:49St Lucia, Castries, would have been one point, and Victoria of the Seychelles.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Let's look at the other pointless answers. Sit back and enjoy these.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Apia, the capital of Samoa.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Basseterre's the capital of St Kitts and Nevis.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Bloemfontein is one of the capitals of South Africa.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05There's Dakar! It's just won you the money.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Well done to anyone who said Juba, the capital of South Sudan,

0:42:11 > 0:42:13the newest country in 2012.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Kingstown, the capital of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Mbabane, the capital of Swaziland.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, thank you,

0:42:21 > 0:42:23which is one of the capitals of Sri Lanka.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27There's another couple. Lobamba is another capital of Swaziland.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30And Sao Tome, the capital of Sao Tome and Principe.

0:42:30 > 0:42:37Very well done if you said any of those. But guys, Dakar, terrific answer. Well deserved jackpot.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Stuart and Chris,

0:42:40 > 0:42:44who go away with today's jackpot of £4,250 - very well done.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
