0:00:20 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- My name's Norman, Wendy's my daughter
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and we're from Manchester.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm Shirley, this is Carol, my friend, and we're both from Hornchurch in Essex.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47My name is Keira. This is my brother, Aaron, are we're from Saffron Walden.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48And couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We're Amy and Dave and we're from St Helens.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We'll be finding out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02There's only one person left for me introduce.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06He's so clever, the only thing he doesn't know is how to make Fulham win the Premiership.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07LAUGHTER
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- You know how to hurt a man, don't you?- I'm sorry.- That's OK.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Poor old Fulham. Er, another great show last time
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- but this jackpot is building up again, isn't it?- Yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- It's getting quite sizeable now. - Quite embarrassing.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Interestingly, last show we set a new record because we had our oldest ever contestant on the show
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and today we're setting a new record, as well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36We've got our oldest ever contestant on the show
0:01:36 > 0:01:39because Norman is a bit older than he was last time. LAUGHTER
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Still 94 then, Norman?- Still a little bit more.- A bit more, exactly right.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Norman and Wendy were terrific last time,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49they went all the way through to the head-to-head and got beaten 2-1.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53They will be a formidable team to beat for some of our newcomers here.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Carol and Shirley were with us for less time, weren't you?- Yes.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It was brief but wonderful and so hopefully you are going to stick
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- around for a little bit longer this time.- Thank you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Thanks. All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show
0:02:05 > 0:02:09and our contestants here need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our
0:02:12 > 0:02:16100 people gave, and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Toria and Micky didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Today's jackpot starts off at £9,000.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25APPLAUSE
0:02:28 > 0:02:31If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39OK, in this round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there's no conferring.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42The pair who has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so try and make sure that's not you. OK, our first category today is
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Pop Music.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Female American Pop Stars.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Richard.- Every question we have, I worry about Norman
0:03:05 > 0:03:08but thus far you've proved me wrong every time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12We're about to show you four female American pop stars, we need
0:03:12 > 0:03:16you to name us any Top 10 singles any of these four woman have had, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Any Top 10 single by any of these four women, or with them
0:03:19 > 0:03:23as named featured artist and that's up to October 2012.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25So as Richard has just mentioned, we're going to put the names
0:03:25 > 0:03:29of four female American artists on the board and,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32obviously, we are looking for any UK Top 10 hit by any of these artists.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And here are the artists.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'll read those one last time.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Welcome back, Norman, I'm really sorry to welcome you back with this.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- I'm really sorry. - There's a slap in the face.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Tell us about last time, Norman? - We did rather well.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- You did very well.- We proceeded to the play-off, so to speak.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Now I'm off, no play.- Really?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Is this really the end of the line for you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13As far as I'm concerned, yes. I'll have to make a guess at something.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Romantica, Christina Aguilera. - Romantica?- Yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21OK, Romantica, says Norman.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Let's see if Romantica's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Oh, bad luck!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- As expected.- Bad luck, Norman.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Brilliant, though, a good name for a...- It's genuinely a believer.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35If you had said that with absolute conviction,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I would have been going, "Romantica's on the list"
0:04:38 > 0:04:41and it may well not be the last 100 we see in this round as well.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Anyway, it is an incorrect answer,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Shirley, welcome back.- Hello. - Shirley, yes, last time.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Tell us a little bit about last time.- I had a brilliant answer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You had a fantastic answer. Yeah, Nutty Professor, complete fluke.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You were thinking of someone quite else.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It turned out to score hardly anything. However, it wasn't enough, I'm afraid.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- No.- Your combined scores were quite high.- It was that Norman.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yeah.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Yes. Remind us what you do, Shirley?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I work for a local pharmacy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And tell us what you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Reading, music, gardening, sun.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Sun?- I mean, laying in the sun. - Yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Do you travel long distances to find the sun?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I have done but not so much lately.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29OK, what are we thinking about these American pop stars.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I know, oh...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Britney Spears, Baby Hit Me One More Time.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Baby Hit Me One More Time? OK.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Baby Hit Me One More Time, says Shirley.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Oh! Bad luck, Shirley.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm afraid that is also an incorrect answer which scores you
0:05:48 > 0:05:50the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53It could be a lifeline for Norman and Wendy there. Richard.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Sorry, Shirley, I'll explain all at the end of the round.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- There we are, Keira.- Hello.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- You're from Saffron Walden.- Yes. - What do you do in Saffron Walden?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I'm actually a full-time student doing business management
0:06:07 > 0:06:09at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14I also work part-time as an accounts assistant for a super yacht broker in London.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, that's fun! How often do people come in and buy a super yacht?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Or, do people just browse?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21It doesn't work quite that way
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- but it's a really fun company to work for.- I'll say it is, yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30How often do they invite you for days out on the company's super yacht?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I've been on one trip, which was good fun.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Now, Keira, it's been quite a high-scoring round so far.- Yeah.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38In fact, we haven't had a correct answer yet.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39LAUGHTER
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I think that might be about to change.- Yes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm going to take a bit of risk because I hope it was one
0:06:45 > 0:06:47of her top hits
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and it's Christina Aguilera with a song called Hurt.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Hurt says Keira.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Hurt, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58No!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And so it continues, another incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05and another high score of 100 points. I'm sorry, Keira.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Look at what you've started, Norman.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09LAUGHTER
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Copycats!
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Honestly, if anyone at any point could score underneath Norman's age, that would be brilliant.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It was a hit for Christina Aguilera but, as you guessed perhaps,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24not a Top 10 hit from 2006. Not one of her biggest.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's a good mistake to make. An honourable pointless mistake.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Amy, we come to you. Welcome, Amy. - Hiya.- What do you do, Amy?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I'm a ranger, a park ranger. - A park ranger.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Wow! That's basically picnic baskets
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and shouting, "Oi!" at boys.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It is, it's working outside, obviously,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46encouraging people to enjoy the environment
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and just getting them to use the local parks, really.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Where do you do this?- I do that in Bolton.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- In Bolton, very good, a lot of fresh air.- Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58What do you like getting up to when you're not doing that, Amy?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02When I'm not doing that, I'm a member of the George Formby Society.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Fantastic!- I've been a member of that for a year now.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I can't play the ukelele but I do pretend I can.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- You take one along?- Yeah, you can do the Formby Thrash at the beginning.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18So even if you can't play you can just stand up, hold it and play.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22That's good. Is it actually a banjolele like he plays?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- I've got a ukelele and a banjolele but I can't play either.- Wow.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- But I do like George Formby. - There you are.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Now then, what are you going to go for?- I'm going to...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34This is a little bit of a guess, as well.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- I'm going to go with Womanizer, Britney Spears.- Womanizer, says Amy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Womanizer, let's see if it's right, let's see how may people said, Womanizer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- It's right.- Yay!- Look at that.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Down it goes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's still going down. Still going down. Pointless!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Our first pointless answer for I don't know how many shows
0:08:57 > 0:09:00As it's a pointless answer, it adds 250 points to today's jackpot,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03takes the total up to £9,250 and it scores you nothing.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Wow! Very well done, indeed.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- We're troubling both ends of the spectrum.- Aren't we just?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Essentially we could be playing this in binary today.- Yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12LAUGHTER
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Yeah, terrific answer, number three hit from 2008, Womanizer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19It's a good song, Womanizer. There's a few good songs on this list.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Thank you very much.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We're halfway through, let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25There are two of them.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Amy and Dave, what about that? Brilliant, brilliant,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30brilliant, Amy, fantastic. There you are.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Dave, I would say you are pretty much guaranteed a place in the next round on the strength of that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39All the others, Keira, Aaron, Shirley, Carol, Norman, Wendy, 100,
0:09:39 > 0:09:44100, 100, 100. It's an Aaron-Carol-and-Wendy-off...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46LAUGHTER
0:09:46 > 0:09:48..in this next pass. Very best of luck to you all.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52We are going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Dave, a warm welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- What do you do?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Believe it or not, I'm a ranger as well.- A park ranger...
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Don't tell me in the same park? - No, I'm in St Helens.- Oh, very good.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Did you request to be moved to different parks?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Erm, the further away, the better, probably. I shouldn't say that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18No, no, I've worked there for 28 years in the same place, more or less.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Very good. Very good, are you a more senior park ranger than Amy?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- No, we're on a level playing field. - Good, good.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Very level, apart from height.
0:10:28 > 0:10:35- Er, Dave, you are on nothing, everyone else is on 100.- Right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- If you can score 99 or less, you'll have a place in the next round.- OK.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I could guess a few, probably Britney or Christina
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- but Lady Gaga, Poker Face. - Poker Face, says Dave.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Poker Face, here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Let's see where Poker Face takes you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well done.
0:11:02 > 0:11:0323.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05APPLAUSE
0:11:05 > 0:11:0723 for Dave and Amy, very well done indeed.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Well played, Dave, that's all you had to do. Her second UK number one.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Eric Cartman in South Park does a very memorable cover version of it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Worth checking out. - I'll check that out, definitely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Now then, Aaron, how are you? Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Also from Saffron Walden. What do you do?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I work in an office for a locally-based firm.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Very good, that's convenient, isn't it, the travel, being locally-based?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah. I still drive, but... - Oh, yeah, fine.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:44I'm part of a local pool and snooker team. I enjoy that a lot.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- How often do you play? - I play once a week for both.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Right, is that pub-based or snooker club-based?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54The pool is pub-based and the snooker is club-based.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- What's your highest break? - Highest break, 53.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Oh, yeah.- That's good. - That's not bad.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Now, Aaron, you are part of the 100 club at the moment. How are you feeling on this as a round?
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- OK.- I mean, Keira overreached herself, she was trying very hard
0:12:11 > 0:12:13to do something brilliant and very nearly did.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16In fact, to be honest, it was Christina Aguilera's fault, really,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19for not selling more records. There we are.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Aaron, what are you going to go for?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I'm going to go for Britney Spears and Toxic.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Toxic, says Aaron. There's no red line for you,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32you're joint high scorers. Let's see if Toxic's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35It's right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:4115, very well done.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42APPLAUSE
0:12:44 > 0:12:4615 for Toxic takes your total up to 115.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Another good song from Britney and a number one in 2004.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Now then, Carol, this is where we have a real contest.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Carol versus Wendy.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I don't think she's got much to worry about.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- It's the wrong era for me, I'm afraid.- Oh, dear.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Do you have a ghost of an idea?
0:13:06 > 0:13:11To be honest, I think I only know one current pop record
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and that's something like, I don't even know the full title,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18but in the words it says something about moving like Jagger.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23That's because it's my granddaughter's favourite record at the moment.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Erm, but I don't know the correct title of it
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- but I'll go for Move Like Jagger. - Move Like Jagger.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Well, you're on 100, the high scorers are Aaron and Keira on 115.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- If you score 14 or less, through you go. - CAROL LAUGHS
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Here's your red line.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Let's see if Move Like Jagger's right.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Oh! Bad luck, Carol!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm sorry to say that's an incorrect answer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.- Richard...
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Yeah, sorry, Carol, again I'll explain all at the end of the round.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Now then, Wendy, it might have looked like a disaster at the very beginning of this round,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58but you might be able to claw something back here.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02The high scorers are Carol and Shirley on 200, you are on 100.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Now, at any time in your life,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08have you crossed paths musically speaking with any of these people?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I don't cross paths musically speaking with anybody, really.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Erm, I did know one or two.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I even knew the pointless and that would have been my answer.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I do know Lady Gaga had a hit with Bad Romance.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Bad Romance, says Wendy. Bad Romance...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- What do you think, Norman?- Hopeful. - He's no idea!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28WENDY LAUGHS
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There you go. There's your red line.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The high scorers are Carol and Shirley on 200, you are on 100.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35If you can score 99 or less, you are in the next round.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Bad Romance, says Wendy, is it right, how many people said it?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Very well done, Wendy. Fantastic!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I thought that would be high, I thought it would be well high.
0:14:46 > 0:14:476!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:51That's a great score.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The second-lowest score of the whole round. Very well done, 106.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Well done, Wendy, a big hit for Lady Gaga
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and Portuguese for "bad romance" is "romantica".
0:15:00 > 0:15:02LAUGHTER
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I have to say, Carol and Shirley, you were unlucky there.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Well, you gave us Baby Hit Me One More Time.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's just Baby One More Time and it was such a big hit.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Do you know what? You were even closer with Move Like Jagger.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It's Moves Like Jagger which is by Maroon 5
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- but featuring Christina Aguilera. - Oh, no!- I knew that.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22If you'd given us the full title, it'd have been a pointless answer.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Just the S!- I love that record.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So it's really unlucky. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Pink had a hit with Don't Let Me Get Me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Britney's I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37there's Moves Like Jagger, Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Overprotected, that's Britney. There You Go, Pink.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Tilt Ya Head Back, that is Nelly featuring Christina Aguilera.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Who Knew is Pink. There's Womanizer, we've already had that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51That's a brilliant answer, Britney Spears and You Make Me Sick...
0:15:51 > 0:15:52LAUGHTER
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- ..by Pink.- Ah, phew!
0:15:57 > 0:16:01At the end of our first round, the pair leaving us with the highest score of 200,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'm so sorry, it's our friends Carol and Shirley.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- It's been lovely having you on the show.- Thank you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Thank you for playing, sorry we have to say goodbye.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10APPLAUSE
0:16:10 > 0:16:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Now, sadly, at the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28London 2012.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41OK, our question concerns
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Team GB Gold Medallists at the 2012 Olympic Games.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- There we are, Richard. - Yes, a good round this one.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52On each pass we are going to show you six events in which Team GB won a gold medal at London 2012.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56You just need to tell us the athlete that won that gold medal, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58There'll be 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I suspect some people will get all 12 of these. Good luck.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Thanks very much.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06OK, so we'd like you to name any of these gold medallists, if you can.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Our first board reads like this.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22I'll read those again.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39There we are, there are the events, you need to supply us
0:17:39 > 0:17:42with the name of one of those gold medallists from Team GB.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Now, Norman, how would you feel about this?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Not a lot but I'm thinking.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Boxing...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- David Brown.- David Brown.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57David Brown, says Norman.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Oh!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Bad luck, Norman, I'm afraid that an incorrect answer,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Yeah, sorry, Norman.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I mean, if Romantica can be a Christina Aguilera single,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I don't see why David Brown couldn't be a super heavyweight boxer. He's not, I'm afraid.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Now then, Keira, is this good for you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I know three for definite and one I know is between two people.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm going to stick with one of the ones I definitely know
0:18:26 > 0:18:30and that the men's long jump and I am going to go with Greg Rutherford.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Greg Rutherford says Keira.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Let see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Absolutely right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:4415.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:5115 for Greg Rutherford. Very well done, Keira.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Well played, Keira, he won that medal in the Olympic Stadium
0:18:53 > 0:18:55on super Saturday.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Now then, Dave.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00There's a few I could have a guess at, er, probably know for certain,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02but I think I'll probably play safe
0:19:02 > 0:19:05with heptathlon and say Jessica Ennis.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Jessica Ennis says Dave.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Jessica Ennis for the heptathlon, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said Jessica Ennis.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Absolutely right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:2015 our best score so far.
0:19:20 > 0:19:2223, there we are.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24APPLAUSE
0:19:25 > 0:19:2623 for Jessica Ennis.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well played, Dave, she's very famous but putting together
0:19:31 > 0:19:34the event she does and her name, seems to have passed most people by.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37She's not only the British heptathlon record holder,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40she is the individual record holder for two of the events within it,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42the high jump and the 100 metres hurdles.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- No wonder she's good at the heptathlon.- Mmm.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Yeah, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Tennis men's singles is Andy Murray.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It would have scored you 46 points.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The track cycling, women's keirin, even more famous now than
0:19:56 > 0:19:59she was during the Olympics, it's Victoria Pendleton.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00It would have scored nine points.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03The taekwondo was the wonderful Jade Jones.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05She would have scored you three
0:20:05 > 0:20:08and the men's super heavyweight champion is a pointless answer,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12even this soon after London 2012 and it was Anthony Joshua.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Very well done if you said that, Anthony Joshua.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through, let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Keira and Aaron, look at that, very well done indeed.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23A lovely low score of 15,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26then up to 23 where we find Dave and Amy and then up to 100
0:20:26 > 0:20:28where we find Norman and Wendy.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Let's see what happens in the next pass, Wendy,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34but what we are definitely going to need is a good low score from you to keep you in the game.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43OK, we're going to put six more events on the board
0:20:43 > 0:20:44and here they come.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'll read that one last time.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10There we are.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Remember, we are looking for the gold medallists from Team GB
0:21:12 > 0:21:17and, obviously, Amy, you're going to try and find the lowest-scoring one you can think of.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Did you watch a lot of 2012?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Actually, not the year, obviously the Olympics?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Yeah, I did but for some reason I can't remember an awful
0:21:26 > 0:21:28lot about who won.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I think the athletics men's 5,000 was Mo Farah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Mo Farah says Amy. Mo Farah.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38The high scorers at the moment are Wendy and Norman on 100.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39You are on 23.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43If you can score 76 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Mo Farah, there's your red line. Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Absolutely right, and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:54 > 0:21:5534.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56APPLAUSE
0:21:56 > 0:21:5834, taking your total up to 57.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well played, Amy, and it was Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis, of course,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07who won gold medals at the Olympic Stadium on Super Saturday.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Erm, now then, Aaron. You are on 15.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The high scorers remain Wendy and Norman on 100.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You have to score 84 or less to get through to the head-to-head.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Do you think you can do that? - I am going to try.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Very good. What are you going to go for?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'm going to go for the men's keirin
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and say Chris Hoy.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Chris Hoy says Aaron. Chris Hoy. Here's your red line.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Nice and high, if you get below that,
0:22:32 > 0:22:33you're through to the next round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Chris Hoy, how many people said it, is it right?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Absolutely right and you are through.
0:22:43 > 0:22:4422.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46APPLAUSE
0:22:46 > 0:22:4922 takes your total up to 37.
0:22:51 > 0:22:57Sir Chris Hoy, of course, he's Britain's most successful ever Olympian up to 2012.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Now then, Wendy.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- There's terrible news.- Yes, I know.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I'm afraid you're the high scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08But, if you fancied it, you could take us through the board.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I knew several on the last pass.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Triathlon, I think there were two brothers, one came first
0:23:13 > 0:23:16and one came third but I'm not sure if that's the right event.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Equestrian, I've no idea.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21The sailing, the only sailor I know is Ben Ainslie.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25The woman is Nicola somebody, so I'd say Ben Ainslie for the sailing.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29OK, Ben Ainslie says Wendy. No red line for you, I'm afraid.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Let's see how many people said Ben Ainslie, is it right?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35It is right.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Oh, it's a great score, as well, 11.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44APPLAUSE
0:23:44 > 0:23:4611, Wendy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Takes your total up to 111.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's a great answer, Wendy.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53He's won medals in sailing at five different Olympic Games, Ben Ainslie,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58and he was the first person down for the Olympic torch on UK soil when they did the torch relay.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Let's look at the others, the triathlon, you're right, it was two brothers who came first and third.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Third was Jonny Brownlee and the gold medal was won by Alistair Brownlee.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07That would have scored you six points.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It WAS Nicola, it was Nicola Adams who won the boxing.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12She would have scored you five.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15There is a pointless answer for the individual dressage,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17which was won by Charlotte Dujardin.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Very well done if you said that
0:24:18 > 0:24:20and well done to anyone who got all 12 of those,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I suspect there are some of you about.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30I'm afraid, it's Wendy and Norman. Oh, such a shame.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You did so well last time.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I was convinced you're going to come back and storm through to the final.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40And what do we do? We throw Britney Spears and Pink at you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45I'm really sorry, Norman, and that was tough, that round.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's been lovely having you on the show, thank you so much for playing.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Wendy and Norman, fantastic contestants.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:53 > 0:24:56For the two remaining pairs, they're getting one step closer to the final
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and a chance of taking home that jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Congratulations, Amy and Dave, Keira and Aaron,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09you are now only one round away from the final and a chance
0:25:09 > 0:25:13to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £9,250.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Clearly, only one pair can play for that money and to decide which pair it's going to be,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24This time, you're allowed to confer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Dances Movies.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I thought it said dance moves.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Dance Movies. Dance Movies.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Dance Movies, absolutely right.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51We are going to show you five stills from famous dance movies,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53you need to tell us what the movies are, please. Good luck.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57OK, so let's reveal our five stills from dance movies and here they are.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16There you go, five stills from dance movies.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Amy and Dave, you've played best throughout the show, so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25THEY WHISPER
0:26:33 > 0:26:37We are going to go for E and Chicago.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40E, Chicago. E, Chicago.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Keira and Aaron, you can talk us through the board, if you like.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46A is Dirty Dancing.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48B is Flashdance
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and D is Step Up.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I know C is Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, but I don't know the film.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- I'm not sure if you might know. - Is B Flashdance or Fame?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59No, that's definitely Flashdance. It's not Fame.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I think we should go with D, which is Step Up.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06D, Step Up say Keira and Aaron.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11So Amy and Dave have said, Chicago for E. E, Chicago.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Let's see if that's right and see how many people said it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17It's right.
0:27:20 > 0:27:2146.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23APPLAUSE
0:27:24 > 0:27:3046 for Chicago. Now, Keira and Aaron, you have said Step Up for D.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Are you certain about that? - I hope so.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35OK, let's find out.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Is that right and, if it is, how many people said Step Up?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44It is right. 46 is what you have to beat.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And you've done it, very well done indeed.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Very well done, 11, for Step Up...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51APPLAUSE
0:27:51 > 0:27:54..which means, Keira and Aaron, after one question,
0:27:54 > 0:27:55you are ahead 1-0.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Well played, Keira, that's such a perfect example of a younger sister talking to an older brother there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03He actually bought me two of those films for Christmas
0:28:03 > 0:28:05because I hadn't seen them, so...
0:28:05 > 0:28:08That's easy, isn't it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Anything with dancing in, perfect.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Step Up, that's Channing Tatum there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15He's a very good comic actor, he was in 21 Jump Street,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16he's terrific in it. Very, very good.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19A is Dirty Dancing.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23A pretty big score, it would have scored 58 points.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26B is Flashdance, it's not Fame.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29That would have scored you 21.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33C, it is Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and they are in Top Hat.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35That would have scored you 12 points.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38The best answer on the board there, Step Up, well played.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Thanks very much, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Now then, Amy and Dave, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46It concerns...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Royal Family Residences.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Royal Family Residences, Richard.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54We'll show you the names of five Royal family residences, both past and present
0:28:54 > 0:28:58but we've missed out alternate letters from each. Can you tell us what the residences are, please?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02OK, so let's reveal our five Royal residences and here they are.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28HE GASPS
0:29:28 > 0:29:30APPLAUSE
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Thank you. I'm going to read these again without the blanks.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52There you go. Now then, Keira and Aaron, you go first this time.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53THEY WHISPER
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Go for the third one, Kensington Palace.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Kensington Palace say Keira and Aaron. Kensington Palace.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Amy and Dave, the board is yours. - Right.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Obviously the middle one is "Palace",
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and the fourth one down is "The Royal" something,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19but I'm going to go for the bottom one, and I think it's Osborne House.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Osborne House say Amy and Dave. Osborne House.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27So Keira and Aaron, let's see how many people said Kensington Palace.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Absolutely right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- 43. - APPLAUSE
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Now then, Amy and Dave, you have gone for Osborne House.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46This is the one you have to win.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Absolutely right. Is it going to beat 43?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Yes, it is! Down it goes.
0:30:54 > 0:30:5718, very well done indeed. That's what you needed to do.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Amy and Dave, you're back in the game.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- After two questions, it's one apiece.- Good answer, Dave and Amy.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Yes, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's family home
0:31:05 > 0:31:07on the Isle of Wight, Osborne House.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10You're right about Windsor Castle, I think everyone got that,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12that would have scored you 56 points.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You're right, it's "The Royal" something, it's in Brighton.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Pavilion.- The Royal Pavilion, absolutely right,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20would have scored two points.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- And up the top there is the Queen Mother's holiday home.- Castle of Mey.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Absolutely right and that would have scored one point.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- So it's the best answer up there. - OK, so it all comes down to this.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Our decider, our third question.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Whoever wins this
0:31:34 > 0:31:37goes through to the final and plays for that substantial jackpot.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38OK, it concerns...
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Richard.- Yeah, simply five clues to facts about Switzerland.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47The team that can pick the most obscure will play for that jackpot.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Switzerland.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'll read those one last time.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22There we are, five clues to facts about Switzerland.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Amy and Dave, you go first.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26THEY WHISPER
0:32:31 > 0:32:33We're going to go for the name of its capital city,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- which I think is Bern. - Bern say Amy and Dave.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Bern for the capital city. Keira and Aaron,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41talk us through the other facts.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Federer's obviously the singles champion.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49Country has its longest border, might be...Italy, possibly.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Its main unit of currency is the Swiss franc, no idea on the lake.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I think Federer's going to be higher,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- so we should go for one of your two. - Currency?- Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We'll go for the main unit of currency, it's the Swiss franc.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03The Swiss franc you are saying, the Swiss franc, main unit of currency.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07So Amy and Dave said Bern, the capital, let's see if that's right.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11It is right.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:2131 for Bern.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Now, Keira and Aaron have said the Swiss franc is the main unit of currency.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Let's see if that's right and how many people said the Swiss franc.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33It's right. Is it going to beat 31, though?
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Oh, 39!
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Very, very well done.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Amy and Dave, after three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49That was a good battle. You're right that Federer wouldn't have won it,
0:33:49 > 0:33:51he would have scored too many points.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The correct answer, Roger Federer, but would have scored you 43.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56The country with which it has its longest border...
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It has borders with Germany, France, Austria, Lichtenstein
0:33:58 > 0:34:02and Italy, and the one with the longest border is Italy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And would have scored seven points. GROANING
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Would have been a big risk to take, though.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10The largest alpine lake is Lake Geneva
0:34:10 > 0:34:14and that would have scored 26, so that also would have got you through.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21I'm afraid, Keira and Aaron.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24You played very well, though, that was real neck-and-neck head-to-head.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Great having you on the show, we'll have you again next time
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and maybe you'll go through to the final that time.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Thanks, meanwhile, for playing, Keira and Aaron.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38But for Amy and Dave, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Congratulations, Amy and Dave, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:46 > 0:34:48and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:56 > 0:35:00and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £9,250.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Well, what a performance. You've played so well.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Your first time on Pointless, you've had a pointless answer,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14all the other teams have scored 100s.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Clean score sheet from you on that front. It's been fantastic.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20What would you like to come up in this final round?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24I'm going to regret this if I get it wrong, but anything birdy.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30Wildlife perhaps, Laurel and Hardy. Perhaps ancient battles, perhaps.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Napoleonic era.- Good, very good.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Um...George Formby.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36LAUGHTER
0:35:36 > 0:35:42Disney. And same as Dave, anything to do with the environment, really.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Brilliant. The rules are very simple.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47All you have to do is find a pointless answer, do that
0:35:47 > 0:35:49and you'll go home with £9,250.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Firstly you have to choose a category
0:35:51 > 0:35:53and here are your five options.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07- Do you know any father/son pop stars?- No.- Elections?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- No.- What do you think, then?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14American TV, but if we get something like Friends...
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Yeah, I don't know a thing about Friends.- You pick, then.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22- Chemistry.- Chemistry. Right, we'll go for chemistry.- OK, chemistry.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Richard.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We're looking for any element from the periodic table
0:36:35 > 0:36:37that doesn't have a vowel in its symbol.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Any elements according to the IUPAC as of October 2012,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43so any element in the periodic table
0:36:43 > 0:36:46without a vowel in its chemical symbol.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Very, very best of luck.- OK.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52All you need to win £9,250
0:36:52 > 0:36:55is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00There they are.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Your time starts now.- Pb, lead.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Mg, magnesium... - It's got a vowel in it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Pb?- Lead's got a vowel in it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- No, but Pb hasn't.- But it's... - Oh, right, then, you go.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17The only stuff... It's the full word, it's going to be.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22- I haven't got a clue.- They've all got to have a vowel in.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25No, it's without a vowel, isn't it? That's what the question said.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Without a vowel in it. So think of something without a vowel in it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Every word has to have a vowel in it.- Without a vowel!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Go on, then, you do 'em. - I don't know.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Pb, lead. Mg, magnesium. Zn, zinc.- Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Er... Cl...- Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5010 seconds left.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Pb, lead. Mg, magnesium.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Mg, mag... Yeah.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01OK, that's time up.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04It was elements that do not have a vowel in their chemical symbol.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I now need your three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- OK, Pb, lead.- Pb.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Yeah. Mg, magnesium.- Mg.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16And I'm going to... Shall we make one up? Zn.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Zinc.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Yeah, let's have a go at that.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?- Zn.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- That's if it exists.- OK. We'll put Zn last.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Which do you think we should put first? Your least likely?
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Mg?- Yeah.- Mg, we'll put first.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43OK, we were looking for elements that do not have a vowel
0:38:43 > 0:38:48in their chemical symbol. Magnesium was your least confident answer.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £9,250.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55So let's see how many people said magnesium.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01It's right. It's right. Now, down it goes.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06you'll be leaving here with £9,250.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Down it goes through the teens, 12.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Ohh! Never mind.
0:39:12 > 0:39:1612 for magnesium. Not a bad score at all.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Unfortunately, we're only interested in pointless answers
0:39:19 > 0:39:21at this stage and it's not a pointless answer,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24so you only have two more cracks at today's jackpot.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27£9,250, that is a jackpot. Amy, what would you do with that?
0:39:27 > 0:39:31I'd take my grandad on a steam train,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34probably the Settle and Carlisle line.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Very good indeed. Aw!
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Dave, how about you?- I'd give Amy the money to take her grandad...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- to the railway line. - APPLAUSE
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Thank you!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51With nine, I don't think she's going to need...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53probably £1,000 for a new camera
0:39:53 > 0:39:58and 8,000 and it will be a really good Settle to Carlisle...
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- perhaps the Orient Express! - Very good indeed.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Best of luck, let's hope one of your two answers
0:40:03 > 0:40:05might win that jackpot for you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Elements that don't have a vowel in their chemical symbol.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Let's hope nobody said your next answer, lead.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Has to be right, has to be pointless for that jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16So for £9,250, how many people said lead?
0:40:18 > 0:40:23It's right. So magnesium took us all the way down to 12.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Let's see how far lead can take us.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Can it take us right down to the bottom?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Going down to the teens, 16.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3616 for Pb.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41So everything is now riding on your very last answer, which is zinc.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43You're pretty sure this was Zn, weren't you?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Yeah, but I did sort of make it up as well.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I've kind of remembered a few now. Hmm.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Should have said.- Never mind. It's all right.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54OK, we're looking for elements that don't have a vowel
0:40:54 > 0:40:57in their chemical symbol. Your third and final answer,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01your most confident shot at the Pointless jackpot was zinc.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04So let's see, how many people said zinc?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Absolutely right. Now, magnesium took us down to 12.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Lead then took us to 16.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15But zinc is now taking us down through the 20s,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17through the teens, down it goes, lowest yet...
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Ohhh!
0:41:19 > 0:41:217!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27They were all of them really good answers.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Really good low-scoring answers that
0:41:30 > 0:41:32you'd be thrilled with in normal game play
0:41:32 > 0:41:34but I'm afraid none of them pointless,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £9,250,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You have been brilliant contestants
0:41:41 > 0:41:45and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well played, Dave, well played, Amy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58There's quite a few. A lot of people are good at the chemistry questions.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Well done if you said caesium which is Cs. Californium, Cf.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Curium, which is Cm.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10All of those pointless. Gadolinium, Gd. Hassium, Hs. Lv is livermorium.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14All of those pointless. Neodymium, which is Nd.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Palladium, that's Pd and rutherfordium, that's Rf.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19There's a few more.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Well done at home if you said dysprosium, fermium,
0:42:21 > 0:42:26mendelevium, promethium, rhodium, rubidium, scandium or thallium.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28All of those pointless as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- Were any of those on the tip of your tongue, Dave?- Erm...
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Rutherford-onium...
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- Rutherfordium.- Nowhere near.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38I was just thinking of Margaret Rutherford.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40I know it's not named after her.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Amy and Dave.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47It's been wonderful having you on the show, thank you both so much for playing.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Amy and Dave didn't win our jackpot today so it rolls over,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56which means on the next show we will be playing for £10,250.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
