0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29This is the quiz show where the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show

0:00:29 > 0:00:32and all our contestants here have to do is come up with the answers those 100 people

0:00:32 > 0:00:34couldn't think of. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Couple number one.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45Hello. I'm Krissy, this is Linda, and we're colleagues in Inverness.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number two.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm Aaron, this is my sister Keira, and we're from Saffron Walden.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Couple number three.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm Russ, this is my daughter MJ.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'm from Cheshunt, she's from Reading.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58- And couple number four.- I'm Eileen,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01this is my lovely husband David, and we're from Hertfordshire.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thank you very much. And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE

0:01:06 > 0:01:08There's only one person left for me to introduce.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11He's the perfect mix of book-smarts and street-smarts,

0:01:11 > 0:01:13so don't be surprised to find him explaining string theory

0:01:13 > 0:01:17whilst stealing your wallet. It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hiya. AUDIENCE CHEERS

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Afternoon to you.- And to you.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25- That jackpot is building up, isn't it, again?- It is.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29- So we've been up to 20 before. - Yeah.- We're sort of nearly halfway there now.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Yeah.- But we've nearly given it away a few times.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Last show it was Amy and Dave, the chemical symbols.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- They got three very low scorers, but not a pointless answer, sadly.- Hmm.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42So, you know, could go today. We've got Keira and Aaron back again.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Strong last time.- Certainly were.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Plenty of money to play for, everybody.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Very exciting. Now, all our questions on Pointless

0:01:49 > 0:01:51have been put to 100 people before the show,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54and our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer which none of our 100 people gave,

0:01:58 > 0:02:00and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, Amy and Dave didn't win the jackpot, as Richard says,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09So today's jackpot starts off at £10,250.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11AUDIENCE: Woo!

0:02:11 > 0:02:15There we are. Right, so everyone's ready. Let's play Pointless.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23OK. In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The highest-scoring pair at the end of the round is out,

0:02:25 > 0:02:29so try and make sure that's not you. OK. Our first category today is...

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Can you decide in your pairs, who's going first, who's going second.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36(Will I go first?)

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK. And the question concerns...

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Capital Cities, Richard.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53On each pass, we're going to give you clues to seven capital cities of the world.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Give us a nice obscure answer, of course you score fewer points,

0:02:56 > 0:02:58but give us a wrong answer, you score 100.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00There's going to be 14 capitals described in all up here,

0:03:00 > 0:03:02so very best of luck at home.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05OK. So, we are looking for the capital cities of the world

0:03:05 > 0:03:10described by these clues. And here they are. Our first board reads like this.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'll read all of those again.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55There we go. Seven clues

0:03:55 > 0:03:56to capital cities.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58What are those capital cities?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Now, Linda, welcome to the show.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04You are from Inverness. Now, how do you and Krissy know each other?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06- We work together.- What do you do?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- We're nurses. - What do you like getting up to in your spare time, Linda?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I like gardening. Reading.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm interested in history.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Are you interested in capital cities?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Well, yeah, I suppose.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23OK. What are you going to go for?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I can't think of many of them.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Home to skyscraper district of Beijing?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Home to the skyscraper district of Shinjuku.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- You're going to say Beijing for that?- Beijing.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- OK. Very good. Is this is a guess, Linda?- Yes.- It is.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40I'm quite good at Shinjuku. I do it quite often...

0:04:40 > 0:04:41ALL LAUGH

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It just fills a spare moment.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK. Let's see if Beijing is right for that,

0:04:45 > 0:04:49and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Shinjuku.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52AUDIENCE: Aah!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Bad luck, Linda. I'm sorry.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Lovely parallel move you made there.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Wow. Thank you for that answer. I'm afraid, an incorrect one, though.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05100 points it has scored you. I'm sorry, Linda.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Yeah, sorry, Linda. Feels even worse that you've come all the way from Inverness

0:05:09 > 0:05:11to stand on podium one and get 100 points. That seems a bit harsh.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13ALL LAUGH

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Keira, welcome back to the show. You were in the head-to-head last time.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yes, we were in the head-to-head.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20What happened?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Um, we got to the third question and it was one-all.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Then we had a question about Switzerland.- Aah.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28And they went first and got the capital city of Bern,

0:05:28 > 0:05:31and we said the Swiss Franc for the currency.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33But just before we took that option, Aaron actually said Italy

0:05:33 > 0:05:35as being the longest border,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38and it would have got us through if we'd taken that risk.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39It would have done.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Anyway. So there you are. You're back today.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44You'll do very well indeed. What do you make of this board?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Um, I have to admit, geography's not a strong point of mine at all.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Um, but I'm going to go with one which I'm hoping is right,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54which is where Lenin's corpse was displayed in 1924,

0:05:54 > 0:05:55and hope that it's Moscow.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Moscow, says Keira. Moscow.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Moscow.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04It's true.

0:06:08 > 0:06:0935.

0:06:11 > 0:06:1535 people said Moscow.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well played, Keira. Very good answer.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19There's over 100 museums in Moscow.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Is that out of the ordinary? - That's quite a lot.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- In the Soviet era, they used to call it "The City of Museums."- Right.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26And they liked a museum.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31- Ho! The Soviets?- Yeah. - They loved a museum. - They did love a museum.- Yeah.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Russ, welcome to the show. What do you do, Russ?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm a trader in biscuits.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37LAUGHS

0:06:37 > 0:06:38That is brilliant.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Where do you trade them?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Anywhere in Europe and North Africa.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Where's the biscuit-eating centre of the world?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Britain. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Doesn't surprise me. Have you ever had any other jobs along the way?

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Yeah, one or two.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53What else have you done?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I've, um, bought and sold showjumpers.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Show... Do you mean horses?- Yes. - Not very smart jerseys?- No, no, no.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - OK

0:07:03 > 0:07:04OK, Russ, listen.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06This just plays right to your strengths, doesn't it, Russ?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- There's a lot of foreign words on that board.- Yup.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm going to have a shot at Oscar Niemeyer.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Yup.- He sounds like the sort of guy who would have designed Brasilia.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Brasilia, says Russ. Brasilia for Oscar Niemeyer.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Brasilia.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29He's right!

0:07:29 > 0:07:31AUDIENCE: Whoa!

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Three. - APPLAUSE

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Very, very well done indeed, Russ.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Three for Brasilia.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Very well played, Russ. It's a terrific answer.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48It was built from scratch in 1956, and he planned it and built lots of the buildings.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- An extraordinary place, as well. That's a good answer from Russ, isn't it?- Very good.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- I'd love to be a biscuit trader. - Yeah.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Much more than showjumpers. I think you've landed on your feet there. - You hobnob with all sorts of people.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- There we go. That's it. - Now...- There we are.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Now let's go.- Don't encourage him.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10I'll tell you what. MJ is someone who's heard that joke 70 or 80 times before.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12ALL LAUGH

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Eileen.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Welcome to the show. Eileen, where are you from?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Originally from Liverpool.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23We're currently relocating from Hertfordshire to Liverpool.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Oh, you're moving back, a homecoming?- We are, yes.- Very good.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26What do you do, Eileen?

0:08:26 > 0:08:30I've latterly been a director of a charity working with

0:08:30 > 0:08:32homeless Scots in London,

0:08:32 > 0:08:34which is how I always say I met David.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36ALL LAUGH

0:08:37 > 0:08:39What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Eileen?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42One of the things I like is singing in a community choir.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45The choir down South was called "Singing for the Terrified,"

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- which about summed it up, I think. - Oh, good.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I hope you got a bit less terrified. - A bit less, yes.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53So what sort of things do they sing?

0:08:53 > 0:08:58Erm, all sorts. We sang at a National Trust property. We sang Christmas carols for

0:08:58 > 0:09:01their Christmas show. We sang round the wards of the local hospital.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03The choir was based in the hospital.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05And it was great fun, great fun.

0:09:05 > 0:09:11Very good. Listen. You're the last person to have this board. Five answers still left on that board.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I think the home to the Prado Museum is Madrid.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Berlin was divided by a wall.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19And my husband will kill me that I can't remember the capital of America,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21whether it's Washington or New York.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24So I'm going to play safe and go for Berlin.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Very good. Eileen says Berlin. Let's see if that's right,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30and if it is, let's see how many people said Berlin.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Very high.

0:09:33 > 0:09:3778. 78 for Berlin.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, that's a big score, Eileen. Berlin, yeah.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's the second-largest city in the European Union, Berlin.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Shall we go through the rest of the board?- Let's.- Shall we do that? Home to the Prado Museum. It is Madrid.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54It would've been a much better answer, because it would've scored you 13 points.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Now, Shinjuku.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's not Beijing.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You might guess, if it's not Beijing, it's Tokyo.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Capital of Japan would've scored you 20 points.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Er, "It Lies on the Potomac River." The capital of the USA,

0:10:07 > 0:10:09it's Washington, DC. Would've scored 30.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13And the best answer on the board is the birthplace of Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

0:10:13 > 0:10:19He is Egyptian and was born in Cairo. That would've scored you two points, so very well done if you said that.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Russ, very well done there. Lovely low score of three for Russ and MJ.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Then up to 35 where we find Keira and Aaron,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31up to 78, where we find Eileen and David,

0:10:31 > 0:10:34and then up to 100, where we find Linda and Krissy.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37So yes, Krissy, you're not miles out in front.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39But significantly, shall we say, in front,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42so we need a nice, low score from you to keep you in the game. Best of luck with that.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52OK. We're going to put seven more clues on the board.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53And here they come. We have got...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'll read those again.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40There we are. We're looking for the capital cities described by these clues.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Now, David, welcome.

0:11:41 > 0:11:46Welcome. So you're in the process of packing up everything and heading up to the Mersey?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50We are, yeah. We've got a nice flat there overlooking the sea

0:11:50 > 0:11:54where we can get a telescope out and spy on the ships going past.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Wow. That's incredible. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- That's a powerful telescope. Or you live very close to the sea? - We do, yes.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Very good. OK, so, you've got a brand-new board there. What do you make of that?

0:12:04 > 0:12:09I think I know most of them. I'm just trying to think what the most obscure one might be.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Um, I think I'll go for, uh...

0:12:12 > 0:12:15In English, its name means "Good Airs." I think that's Buenos Aires.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Buenos Aires, says David. Buenos Aires.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23The high scorers are Krissy and Linda on 100. You're on 78.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26If you can score 21 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Let's see if you can get below that red line with Buenos Aires.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33He's right.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Ooh, you've done it. Very well done indeed. 16.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Good work. 94 is your total, David.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Terrific work, David. Well played.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Buenos Aires is a beautiful city. It lies on the River Plate, which is incredibly wide.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53You'll think you're seeing the sea when you see the River Plate.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- But you're not. You're seeing a river.- You're seeing a river.- Yeah. The River Plate, in fact.- Wow.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03MJ. Welcome to the show.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05What do you do, MJ, in Reading?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm a student at the university.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- And what are you studying?- Er...

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Biomedical Science and...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15I know that it's now going to put me in the worst position

0:13:15 > 0:13:19if anything related to biology or chemistry comes up.

0:13:19 > 0:13:25- Because students are renowned for doing...- To be fair, what year are you in?- First year.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28You've only just started doing biomedical science. I think you can be forgiven

0:13:28 > 0:13:31a couple of little gaps in your knowledge. And who knows?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Maybe biomedical science won't come up till the third round.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:13:35 > 0:13:38By which time, you can confer with Russ, who, as we now know, knows everything.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40ALL LAUGH

0:13:40 > 0:13:42"Biscuit trader."

0:13:44 > 0:13:47OK, now then. What does MJ stand for, MJ?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49It stands for Meriel-Jo.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Meriel-Jo?- Yeah.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- It's my grandmother's name.- Lovely.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55It is a very nice name.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Now then. Let's have an answer from you.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59How are you feeling about the board behind me?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Erm, I knew two.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04One of which has gone.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07And I'm not entirely sure whether I should guess at a wrong answer,

0:14:07 > 0:14:11guess at something, because the only other one I know

0:14:11 > 0:14:13is quite possibly going to get 100 anyway.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Well, here we are. Krissy and Linda are on 100.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20You're on three, thanks to Russ's fantastic answer in the first pass.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23You have a margin of 96 points, there.

0:14:23 > 0:14:28Let's hope that the great public weren't paying attention.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29I'm very sorry, Dad.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Hosted the 2012 Olympics.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:14:34 > 0:14:35London.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37At least you got it right.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39ALL LAUGH

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Let's see how many people said it.

0:14:44 > 0:14:45London.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Oh, look at that!

0:14:52 > 0:14:54APPLAUSE

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Wow. 100 people out of 100.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm quite glad, actually.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Are you?- ...That that's happened.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09So you're glad. Your dad, less so, I'm going to say, by the expression on his face.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13But you're still only three points ahead of the highest scorers.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15As you say, at least 100 people knew it.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Yeah.- I do hope you stay in, though, cos I have more questions about biscuit-trading, I'll be honest.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Yeah.- Delve slightly deeper into that world.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Into the bottom layer?

0:15:26 > 0:15:27ALL LAUGH AND GROAN

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Aaron. Aaron, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Aaron.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I work in an office in my hometown.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Right you are. What do you get up to in your spare time?

0:15:39 > 0:15:43- I play pool and snooker.- Excellent.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Now then, Aaron. You're on 35.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48Our high scorers now are MJ and Russ on 103.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51If you can score 67 or less, you're in Round Two.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'm going to go with "overlooked by the Parthenon,"

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- and say Athens.- Athens, says Aaron.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Overlooked by the Parthenon. Here is your red line.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02You get below that, you're in Round Two.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Let's see if Athens is right.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Absolutely right - ooh, look at that. Very well done.

0:16:11 > 0:16:1467 you needed, 66 you got.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Takes your total up to 101.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Yeah. Constructed around 447BC. The Parthenon.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24I tell you what, that's a very funny answer to "what do you do?"

0:16:24 > 0:16:26"I work in an office in my hometown."

0:16:26 > 0:16:28That's the answer of a spy.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31ALL LAUGH

0:16:31 > 0:16:33You couldn't get more vague.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36"What do I do? I work in an office in my home town."

0:16:36 > 0:16:38AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Krissy. Krissy.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Right. We have a target here that you have to reach,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44otherwise it's goodbye to Krissy and Linda.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48103 is the high score. MJ and Russ are on 103.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52You are on 100. You have to score two or less.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55What do you think, Krissy? Talk us through the board.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56I wish.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Erm...gosh.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01We'll have a guess.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I'm saying The Third Man was in...

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Amsterdam.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Amsterdam, says Krissy. Let's see if it's right, and if it is,

0:17:09 > 0:17:12let's see how many people said Amsterdam for The Third Man.

0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Oooh.- I'm afraid not Amsterdam, Krissy, and I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer

0:17:19 > 0:17:22and another high score of 100 points taking you up to 200.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Sorry, Krissy. You have just made a biscuit trader very happy, though.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30So that is something. The setting for The Third Man is actually...do you know that one?

0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Vienna.- Vienna, absolutely right. Capital of Austria. Would've scored you 15 points.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36The city modernised by Baron Haussmann...

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Paris.- Paris, absolutely.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Would've scored you ten points.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Now, these other two are very good answers.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45It lies across the Congo from Brazzaville.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It's Kinshasa.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Would've scored you two points. Terrific answer.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54And the best answer here - this is a pointless answer. If anyone knows this, very well done.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58The African city laid out roughly in the shape of a Union Jack?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's Khartoum.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04So terrific work if you got that.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Thank you, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,

0:18:07 > 0:18:09the losing pair, with their high score of 200,

0:18:09 > 0:18:11our newest members of the 200 club,

0:18:11 > 0:18:14are Krissy and Linda.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Aw, that was a tough round.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It was.- That was a tough round.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22I applaud that kind of bravery, though. Pointless rewards brave players, normally.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Except in this case.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Not if they're wrong. But, Krissy and Linda, we'll see you again next time.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32We'll look forward to that very much indeed. Thanks very much for playing. Krissy and Linda.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33APPLAUSE

0:18:34 > 0:18:37But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Now, sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Of course, your scores were all very close there. Very close.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Very best of luck to all three pairs.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Our category for Round Two is...

0:18:54 > 0:18:59Classic Movies. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK. Let's find out what the question is.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07And here it comes.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:19:09 > 0:19:16to name as many of The Dirty Dozen and the Magnificent Seven actors as they could.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Richard.- We're looking for the name of any performer who received an acting credit

0:19:19 > 0:19:22for either of those movies, please. Magnificent Seven or Dirty Dozen.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Just the original movies, not the sequels.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29So any actor that received an acting credit in either of those films. Best of luck.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Thanks very much indeed.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32So, Keira.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35This is not good for me at all.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Totally out of my age range completely.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm going to take a complete stab in the dark

0:19:41 > 0:19:43and go for Kirk Douglas.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Kirk Douglas, says Keira. Kirk Douglas.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51let's see how many of our 100 people said Kirk Douglas.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Ooh, bad luck, Keira.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57It was a good guess.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01I'm so sorry. That scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry, Keira.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04It was a good guess. It's absolutely the sort of person who would've been in them.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- We've had a lot of 100s today already, haven't we?- Loads.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Might not be the last one of this round, either.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Thanks, Richard.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Now then, Russ.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16- How do you feel about this? - Er...

0:20:16 > 0:20:17I'll go for Charles Bronson.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Charles Bronson, says Russ. Charles Bronson.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said Charles Bronson.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31He's right.

0:20:31 > 0:20:3325.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34APPLAUSE

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Very well done, Russ.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Well done, Russ. He's in both of those films, actually, Charles Bronson.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Can I ask a very quick question about biscuit trading?- Yes.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48So when you say "biscuit trader," is that like a biscuit salesman?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Because it sounds like you sit in front of a computer screen

0:20:50 > 0:20:53and look at the price of Hobnobs going up and down

0:20:53 > 0:20:54and then try...is that what you do?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Yeah. Sometimes Digestives.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Who's sitting around with stocks of Digestives?

0:20:59 > 0:21:00My grandmother used to.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Now then, Eileen.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Eileen. So, remember, we are looking for any actor who appeared in

0:21:09 > 0:21:12The Magnificent Seven or The Dirty Dozen.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Bit of a guess, but, um, I'll take a punt on Steve McQueen.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Steve McQueen, says Eileen. Steve McQueen.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Steve McQueen.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Absolutely right, Eileen.

0:21:26 > 0:21:2825 our best score so far.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Down it goes - ooh!

0:21:30 > 0:21:32You equal that score.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34APPLAUSE

0:21:35 > 0:21:3725 for Steve McQueen.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Yeah, well done, Eileen. He plays Vin Tanner in The Magnificent Seven. Very good answer.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Russ and MJ, Eileen and David, all looking very strong indeed on 25.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Keira and Aaron looking a little bit shaky on 100.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54OK. We'll come back down the line now.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Now then, David.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04David, Eileen has put you in a very strong position.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07You're on 25. The high scorers are Aaron and Keira on 100.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10If you can score 74 or less

0:22:10 > 0:22:12you are in the head-to-head.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14OK. Um...

0:22:14 > 0:22:19I'm just trying to remember who some of the obscure ones were in The Dirty Dozen.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Um...I think I'm going to go for John Cassavetes.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24John Cassavetes.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27There is your red line.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Nice and high. Let's see if John Cassavetes is right,

0:22:29 > 0:22:32and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's absolutely right, and you are through to the head-to-head.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Look at that. Down it goes. 25 our best score. You've smashed through that.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Oh, look at that! David, very, very well done indeed.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47That's a pointless answer.

0:22:47 > 0:22:52It adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to £10,500.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56It scores you nothing, leaving your total at a very impressive 25.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57Well done, David.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Brilliant answer, David. Very well done.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Yeah, John Cassavetes. Actor, director, been nominated for Oscars for all sorts of things.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07Directing, acting, screenplay. And he was one of The Dirty Dozen.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09- That was good.- Very good indeed.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Now, MJ.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Yeah.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:23:13 > 0:23:17We are looking for any actor who appeared in The Magnificent Seven or The Dirty Dozen.

0:23:17 > 0:23:22I'm trying to think of old actors.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Less of the old.- Sorry.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30I'm just going to have to have a very random guess.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34And go for...James Brown.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38That would've been fun.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:23:41 > 0:23:44It needed a funk soundtrack, definitely,

0:23:44 > 0:23:45The Magnificent Seven.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49OK. So, James Brown, says MJ. James Brown.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said James Brown.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56MJ GASPS, ALL LAUGH

0:23:56 > 0:24:01- You are through to the next round. - LAUGHS

0:24:02 > 0:24:04And it's a pointless answer!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:24:06 > 0:24:08MJ.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12That is another pointless answer.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17It adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to £10,750.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19It scores you nothing.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20ALL STILL LAUGHING

0:24:20 > 0:24:22It leaves your total at 25.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24What?

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Oh, MJ. I've seen some luck in my time on this show.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32I really have. James Brown the soul singer wasn't in the film,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36but there's an old American actor called Jim Brown.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38His real name's James Nathaniel Brown.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40And he was in the Dirty Dozen.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Wow.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45APPLAUSE

0:24:52 > 0:24:54- James Nathaniel Brown.- Yup.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, I was going to say, "how jammy is that?"

0:24:56 > 0:24:59but in terms of biscuits, I'm not going to go into that.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04But how lucky...really, last series, someone guessed Nick Brown

0:25:04 > 0:25:07as a Labour politician as well, didn't they?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Brown is the one to go for every time, surely?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Go for Someone Brown.- Yeah.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Very good. That's incredible.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Incredible. Now then.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Aaron.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oh, dear.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I have terrible news. I'm afraid you're already our high scorers.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And you haven't yet given your brilliant answer, Aaron. I'm sorry.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Maybe that takes a bit of pressure off, actually.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31What are you thinking?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34The only two I knew were Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36so they'd already gone.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39So I'll have a stab at...Clint Eastwood.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Clint Eastwood, says Aaron. Clint Eastwood.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Let's just see how many people said Clint Eastwood.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Ooh, bad luck.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53It's because it has "Dirty" in one of the titles. You think maybe Clint Eastwood might've been in that.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58But no, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Aaron. That's very, very unlucky.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05George Kennedy, Trini Lopez, Brad Dexter and Val Avery all would've scored you one point.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Donald Sutherland would've scored two points. A very good answer.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Clint Walker, three. Ernest Borgnine and Eli Wallach would've scored four as well. They'd have been good.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15James Coburn was in it. Would've scored you 11. Robert Vaughn,

0:26:15 > 0:26:18course, later starred in The Hustle on British TV, 11.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Lee Marvin, 17. Telly Savalas. He would've scored you 19.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24And the biggest score of all?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yul Brynner, on 49.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31Thank you, Richard. So, at the end of Round Two, our losing pair with their high score of 200,

0:26:31 > 0:26:35our second 200 of the show, it's Aaron and Keira.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Anyway, we have to say goodbye to you, Aaron and Keira. Great shame,

0:26:38 > 0:26:42but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you very much for playing. Aaron and Keira.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43APPLAUSE

0:26:43 > 0:26:47But, for the two remaining pairs, they're getting one step closer to the final and a chance

0:26:47 > 0:26:49to take home the jackpot, as we enter the head-to-head.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Well, congratulations David and Eileen, Russ and MJ.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00You're now only one round away from our final and a chance of playing for our jackpot,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03which currently stands at £10,750.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05AUDIENCE: Whoa!

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Now, clearly only one pair can play for that money.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12To decide which pair it's going to be, you're now going to go head-to-head.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15The only difference is, you are now allowed to confer.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20You both had identical scores in that last round.

0:27:20 > 0:27:2125.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Amazing.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33OK, here comes your first question.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34And it concerns...

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Young American Politicians, Richard.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Going to show you five pictures now

0:27:41 > 0:27:43of famous American politicians when they were young.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Can you identify the most obscure of these? Good luck.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48OK. Thank you very much indeed.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52Let's reveal our American politicians when they were young. And here they are. We have got...

0:28:07 > 0:28:12There we are. Five American politicians from when they were young.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Now, David and Eileen, you played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21I'm not sure, but maybe 2 is Clinton.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22Um...

0:28:22 > 0:28:27I think I'll play safe and go for B, which is Bill Clinton.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29B, Bill Clinton.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32B, Bill Clinton, say David and Eileen.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Now, Russ and MJ. The board is yours.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Well, we think A is Ronald Reagan.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42We think they're right with Clinton.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44I guess C is Kennedy.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48I'd like to have a shot at D.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51But...let's go for A, and Reagan.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54OK, you're going to say Reagan for A. Ronald Reagan.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56So we have Bill Clinton and we have Ronald Reagan.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58David and Eileen said Bill Clinton.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02Let's see if that's right, and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04It's right.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09You said you were playing safe. Seems to be going down a long way.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12Oh, it's pointless! What about that?

0:29:13 > 0:29:15- I'm surprised.- Wow.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, that's a pointless answer.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24And, as ever, pointless answers add £250 to today's jackpot.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27so that takes us up to £11,000. Very, very well done indeed.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Yeah. Beat that, Russ and MJ.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Yeah.- With Ronald Reagan. Let's see, though.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38You never know. Ronald Reagan, A, you are saying.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40How many people said Ronald Reagan?

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Absolutely right.

0:29:47 > 0:29:4933.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Well done.

0:29:52 > 0:29:5733 for Ronald Reagan. Which means, David and Eileen, after one question you are up one-nil.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Well, that's a surprise.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Yeah. I thought he was fairly recognisable there.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Er, with his goofy grin.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06But apparently not.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09C, you're absolutely right, Russ, is John F Kennedy.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12Would have scored you 40 points.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Now, D.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Nixon.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- You wouldn't recognise him, would you?- I might say Mitt Romney.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Seven people did, though.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23And E...

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Now, he wasn't President, but he ran for President.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29This was taken after he was a prisoner of war for six years in Vietnam.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32This was taken on his return. John McCain.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Would've scored you one point.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37Interesting. There we are.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Here comes your second question, Russ and MJ.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43You need to win this one to stay in the game.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Good luck.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46It concerns...

0:30:50 > 0:30:51AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:30:51 > 0:30:53There we are, Russ.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Spice Girls UK Number One Singles. Richard.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59We're going to show you the names of five UK Spice Girls number one singles, but in anagram form.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Can you unscramble them and...it gets better, doesn't it, David?

0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Yeah.- Can you unscramble them and pick the most obscure?

0:31:06 > 0:31:08OK. Let's reveal our Spice Girls number ones

0:31:08 > 0:31:11and here they are in anagram form.

0:31:22 > 0:31:23I'll read all of those again.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35There you are.

0:31:35 > 0:31:36Five Spice Girls singles.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Now, Russ and MJ, you go first this time.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47OK. There's only three we know.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Luckily. I think that stands us in good stead.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Um...Viva Forever, number three.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Number three, Viva Forever, Via Verve For.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58David and Eileen.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Just because anagrams are good for us, not Spice Girls,

0:32:02 > 0:32:03we're going for the top one of Wannabe.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Yeah. Nicely said, Eileen. Yeah.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Wannabe, says Eileen.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12So we have Viva Forever versus Wannabe.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17Russ and MJ said Viva Forever. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Viva Forever.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22It's right. This is the one you have to win, remember.

0:32:22 > 0:32:23Down it goes.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Ooh, that's good. 28.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35That looks good to me. Now, David and Eileen have gone for Wannabe.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Wannabe.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42It's right.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47It's got to beat 28 though...ooh, and it does, look at that. Wannabe, 18.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Wow.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Very well done indeed, David and Eileen.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56After two questions only, you are through to the final two-nil.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Yeah. Good anagram work there as well.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01There's another one anagram fans can work out without Spice Girls knowledge.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04That's the bottom one. Ouch Tom is Too Much.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07That scores ten points, so would've been a good answer.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09The other two though, you have to know your Spice Girls.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11A Hide Thou Wonky Or You

0:33:11 > 0:33:13is Who Do You Think You Are.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Would've scored you five points.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18And Curse Yuppie Foil

0:33:18 > 0:33:20is Spice Up Your Life.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23That would've scored four. Very well done to anyone who got all five of those.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27- It's a very good combination of skills.- Very good indeed, yeah.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Er, skill. Spice Skills.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Yeah.- Very good. Thank you, Richard.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,

0:33:34 > 0:33:38I'm afraid it's Russ and MJ. Fantastic performance throughout the show, though.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42And then you came up against David and Eileen. A pointless answer in the head-to-head.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Pointless answers in the head-to-head round are very rare. You've done incredibly well.

0:33:45 > 0:33:50We say goodbye to you now. We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that very much. Russ and MJ.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55But for David and Eileen it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Congratulations, David and Eileen.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06You fought off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:34:14 > 0:34:16and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:34:16 > 0:34:19AUDIENCE WHOOPS

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Well, you've done so well!

0:34:23 > 0:34:26You've been our lowest scorers consistently, the whole way through the show today.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31We had one pointless answer from you, David. Who came up with Bill Clinton? Who spotted Bill Clinton?

0:34:31 > 0:34:32- Well... - Both from you.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- I didn't think Clinton would be pointless, to be honest. - I didn't think so.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37As you say, I was a bit surprised by that.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Anyway, has that calmed your nerves a bit?

0:34:39 > 0:34:41- I think so.- A little bit, yeah.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44What are you hoping's going to come up in this final round?

0:34:44 > 0:34:45I don't know. Maybe films?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48Something in the Arts perhaps for me, yeah.

0:34:48 > 0:34:49OK. Well, very best of luck.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53The rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55You've found two so far, David.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59Do that, and you will go home with that £11,000 jackpot.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03Firstly, you have to choose a category, and here are your five options. They are...

0:35:10 > 0:35:14- Do you want to try Football? - If you'd like to go with Football, we'll try Football.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16- We'll go with Football. - You're going with Football? OK.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Let's see what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:35:20 > 0:35:26to name as many Scorers Of Five Or More Goals At FIFA World Cup Finals as they could.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Richard.- We're looking for the name of any footballer who scored five or more goals

0:35:30 > 0:35:35across their whole career in FIFA World Cup Finals. That's the Finals tournament, obviously.

0:35:35 > 0:35:40So any footballer who scored five or more goals across their career in FIFA World Cup Finals tournaments.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45All you need to win that jackpot of £11,000

0:35:45 > 0:35:47is for just one of those to be pointless.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Are you ready?- I think so, yep.- Yes.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55There they are. Your time starts now.

0:35:55 > 0:36:00- Gerd Muller I think was one of them.- Sounds good to me.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Pele could be, but I think he's probably too obvious. Uh...

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Eusebio might be a possible answer.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Yeah.- And...uh...

0:36:08 > 0:36:11There was a Croatian that scored a lot.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Not last World Cup, but the one before, but I can't remember his name.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Uh...- Did he play in a British team? - No.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20I can't remember his name.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22I think it was...

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Er, Sucre, or it was Italian, his family name.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28What's his name?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30- York scored a hat-trick, but...- I'm not good on Europe, if I'm honest.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33I don't know if he scored that many goals.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Just Fontaine was a Frenchman from a long time back,

0:36:36 > 0:36:39- so he might be a possibility. - That sounds good, going back.

0:36:39 > 0:36:45- We're good with that one now. - OK, so, Just Fontaine, Eusebio and Gerd Muller.- OK.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47- You got the first name? - Ten seconds left.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Just, I think it was.- Yeah.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50- OK.- OK, I think we're ready.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52OK, we'll stop the clock. Very good indeed.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55You have your three answers. We were looking for

0:36:55 > 0:36:58the scorers of five or more goals in the FIFA World Cup Finals.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00I now need your three answers.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03We're going to go with Gerd Muller.

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Gerd Muller.

0:37:04 > 0:37:05- Eusebio.- Eusebio.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08- And Just Fontaine. - And Just Fontaine.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Best answer.- Probably Fontaine. - OK. Fontaine we'll put last.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16What's your least likely answer?

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I think the most popular one will be Gerd Muller.- Gerd Muller.

0:37:19 > 0:37:24OK. We'll pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are. We have got...

0:37:28 > 0:37:32There we are. So we are looking for players who scored five or more goals

0:37:32 > 0:37:34in FIFA World Cup Finals.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Your first answer, Gerd Muller.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39You thought this was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.

0:37:39 > 0:37:44Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £11,000. So let's see.

0:37:44 > 0:37:49For £11,000, how many people said Gerd Muller? Is it right?

0:37:51 > 0:37:53It is right.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57Down it goes, confidently through the 60s, through the 50s, into the 40s. If this goes all the way down

0:37:57 > 0:38:00to zero, you leave here with £11,000.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02You're into single figures. Seven.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Well done, though.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08That's really not bad at all.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Not bad at all. And that was your first answer.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15You thought that was your least likely to be pointless. Seven.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Very good. Sadly not a pointless answer, which means you only have two more chances

0:38:18 > 0:38:23to win that jackpot of £11,000. What would you be doing with £11,000, David?

0:38:23 > 0:38:26I think our plan is, we'd like to go on a round the world trip.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29It would be our honeymoon. We got married five years ago.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31We haven't had a proper honeymoon yet, so...

0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Perfect.- We would take that.- Brilliant. Very best of luck.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38Let's hope one of your two remaining answers...they look brilliant, I have to say.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Eusebio, Just Fontaine. There we are. Let's hope one of those two

0:38:41 > 0:38:46will see you walking with that jackpot and off around the world. That would be fantastic.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50OK. We're looking for scorers of five or more goals in the FIFA World Cup Finals.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Eusebio.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56It has to be pointless, obviously. It has to be correct for you to win that jackpot.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00So, for £11,000, let's see how many people said Eusebio.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Well, it is also correct. Gerd Muller took us down to seven.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10How far down the column is Eusebio going to take us?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Down into the teens...will it go to single figures? Yes, it will.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Still going down. Four.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Ooh, it's getting better.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25We're gone from seven to four, David and Eileen. This is very exciting indeed.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,

0:39:31 > 0:39:32Just Fontaine.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36We were looking for scorers of five or more goals in FIFA World Cup Finals.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40You thought this was likely to be your best shot at a pointless answer.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42We've come from seven to four.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Surely it has to score lower than that.

0:39:44 > 0:39:49If it goes down to zero, you leave here with £11,000. Let's see how many people said Just Fontaine.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56OK. Well, it's correct.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Gerd Muller, as I say, took us down to seven.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Followed by Eusebio who took us down to four.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Just Fontaine is taking us down. Down it goes,

0:40:04 > 0:40:06past four. Down it goes to - oh, one!

0:40:06 > 0:40:08EVERYBODY GROANS

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- What a shame.- Oh well.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Oh, David.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Oh, that's agonising.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21AUDIENCE: Aah.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24I thought that was going to go all the way down.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27- It was just one person who got Just Fontaine.- Just one.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29- "Just" one.- Oh, yeah.

0:40:29 > 0:40:30ALL LAUGH

0:40:32 > 0:40:36Unfortunately, I'm so sorry. That means you haven't found the pointless answer you need

0:40:36 > 0:40:38to win our jackpot of £11,000.

0:40:38 > 0:40:39You don't win that.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42That rolls over onto our next show. But you have been fantastic.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Fantastic contestants the whole way through the game.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47- We've had a great time. - It's been lovely having you.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51And you do, at least, get to take home our Pointless trophy. So well done for that, anyhow.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01That was unlucky, wasn't it? That was unlucky.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05I suspect, if you had a few minutes, you could've named a lot of players on this list. It's hard.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08One point. There's a few other very big names on one point.

0:41:08 > 0:41:13Dennis Bergkamp would've scored you one. Michel Platini, Lothar Matthaus, Rau would've scored you one point.

0:41:13 > 0:41:14Mario Kempes, Roberto Baggio.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17But let's take a look at some of the pointless answers now.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20There will be names on this list that you recognise, I'm afraid.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22The Italian Christian Vieri scored nine goals.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25David Villa scored eight goals for Spain.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Diego Forlan, the Uruguayan, scored six goals in two World Cups.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Franz Beckenbauer.- Oh. - Scored five goals across his career in three World Cups.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36Would've been a pointless answer. Henrik Larsson, the Swede. Lukas Podolski,

0:41:36 > 0:41:39the German, plays for Arsenal. He was a pointless answer.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Rivaldo, the Brazilian.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Thomas Muller scored five goals at the 2010 World Cup,

0:41:44 > 0:41:49and Wesley Sneijder, the Dutchman. You were talking about a Croatian who scored a few goals in one World Cup.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Was it Davor Suker you were thinking of? That's it.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Suker. He was a pointless answer, I'm afraid.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Would've been lovely if you'd said him.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Hierro, Morientes, Gabriel Batistuta, would've been a pointless answer.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Stoichkov, the Bulgarian, would've been a pointless answer.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06could've had Johnny Rep, the Dutchman. Could've had Landon Donovan from the USA.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07He scored five or more in his career.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12Roger Miller, the Cameroonian guy who was 45 years old or whatever.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Used to run round the corner flag.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Teofilo Cubillas, the Peruvian, scored ten goals.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21Boniek as well, and Dzeko. All of those would've been pointless answers,

0:42:21 > 0:42:23so well done if you said any of those at home.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Oh, and you knew some of those.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Oh well.

0:42:28 > 0:42:29Ah. Bad luck.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31We had...we made a good attempt.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33You surely did that. You did much more than that.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35You made a fantastic attempt.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Um, heartbreaking not to see you walk away with that jackpot. I'm so sorry.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Sadly, we have to say goodbye to you, David and Eileen,

0:42:40 > 0:42:46but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing. David and Eileen.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51David and Eileen didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:51 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £12,000.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57AUDIENCE: Woo!

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
