0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Couple Number One.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm Russ, this is my daughter MJ.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I live in Cheshunt and she lives in Reading.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41And Couple Number Two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I'm Linda and this is Krissy,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and we're work colleagues from Inverness.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple Number Three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52I'm Simon, this is my work colleague Ian, and we're both from Manchester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And Couple Number Four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm Angela, this is Simon.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We used to work together, we used to share a flat together
0:00:59 > 0:01:00and we're from Nottingham.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Thank you all very much.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12There's only one person left for me to introduce,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14offering up a smorgasbord of bite-sized trivia
0:01:14 > 0:01:17and tasty morsels big enough to give you chronic indigestion.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25APPLAUSE
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Oh, how are you? - Yeah, I'm all right, I'm OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- That was a nervous one, the last show.- Wasn't it?- David and Eileen.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33David had to name footballers
0:01:33 > 0:01:36who'd scored five or more goals in World Cups.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38They got one point on their last answer.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- And a big jackpot as well. - Big jackpot, even bigger today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And we welcome back Russ and MJ.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- MJ, the luckiest contestant we've ever had.- Yes!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Said James Brown to an answer about an obscure film
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and there was a very, very obscure American actor called Jim Brown
0:01:54 > 0:01:57who happened to have had a bit part in the film,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and she got a pointless answer from it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Got a few pointless answers last time,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and it's all going to be shown in this jackpot just about to come.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Thanks very much. All our questions on Pointless
0:02:07 > 0:02:09have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:11 > 0:02:13those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17which none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22David and Eileen didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:02:22 > 0:02:28another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £12,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43but there's no conferring.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:45 > 0:02:48will be eliminated, so try to make sure that's not you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Our first category today is...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Words. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58who's going to go second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16..as they could. Words Ending OOF.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We're looking for any word with its own entry
0:03:19 > 0:03:22in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends OOF.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29anything like that, and we won't accept the word "Oof" itself.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Russ.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Welcome back to the show.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- We discovered last time you are a biscuit trader.- Yeah.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- What's your favourite kind of biscuit?- I don't eat biscuits.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Oh, you don't touch the merchandise, just...- No, no.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49What delights you, Russ? What would you say has been the highlight,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51apart from the last time you appeared on Pointless
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and MJ scored a pointless answer with James Brown,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57what would you say was the highlight of your life?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58- The highlight of my life?- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03LAUGHTER
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Her sister was quite an interesting child.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- No, knowing MJ is the highlight of my life.- Ah!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And I'm very pleased she's here.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20LAUGHTER
0:04:20 > 0:04:26Erm, I'm going to give you a moment to think of a word ending in OOF.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'll have a shot at aloof.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Oh, Krissy had that! A-agh!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Aloof says Russ. Let's see if it's right,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38let's see how many of our 100 people said aloof.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41It's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:4555.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47APPLAUSE
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- 55 says Russ. Richard. - To stand apart from, aloof.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54That's a big score, isn't it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Yeah.- It's a common word, I suppose.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02- There we go, yes. Krissy, I'm guessing you did have aloof.- I did.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Good, glad you didn't now. 55!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, don't think my next answer will be any better.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- You're a nurse up in Inverness.- Yes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Remind us what you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Er, well, I like motorbikes, though I haven't got one at the moment.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- But you have had one in the past? - Oh, yes.- Ah, yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Very good. Well, I tell you what, £12,000 from the jackpot,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24that would go quite nicely towards a motorbike.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Yes, aye, could get a new one. - Very good. So words ending in OOF.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Well, I'm going to go for proof.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Proof says Krissy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Let's see how many people said proof.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Not bad at all, 34.
0:05:47 > 0:05:4934 for proof.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51A surprisingly low score, I would say,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53for proof there.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Now, Simon B, we have two Simons today. Simon, welcome.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You're from Manchester, what do you do, Simon?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm a project worker in a Hornby's Hostel in Manchester.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Oh, good for you. Very good indeed.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Dabble in a bit of thespian acting. - Oh, do you? The best kind of acting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14LAUGHTER
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What sort of things do you like to do?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Erm, I played a bully in a short movie
0:06:19 > 0:06:22who came to a sticky end, shall we say?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- That sounds fun.- It was.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Have you thought of a word yet?
0:06:28 > 0:06:34I have, yes. I don't know if it's right or not, but I shall try loof.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Loof.- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39We've had aloof. Now we're just having loof.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Let's see if that's right
0:06:41 > 0:06:44and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said loof.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Ohh, bad luck.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52That's an incorrect answer, Simon. Not a word.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I'm sorry.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yeah, sorry Simon, not in the dictionary, I'm afraid.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Though I do enjoy watching Loof Women on...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Is that...?- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Now then, Simon D, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I work as a welfare rights officer,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- so I give debt and benefits advice to people.- Very good indeed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Have you done that all your working life?- For about seven years.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Before that, I used to be a debt collector.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Whoa-ho-ho! Poacher turned gamekeeper there, I'd say, Simon.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Fantastic. So both sides of the debt business.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Yeah, it helps we now reassure people.- Well, that's nice.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I'll tell you what you also do. Before we came on,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Richard and I saw a fantastic tray of cakes that you made.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Yes, I make cupcakes as well. - They look amazing.- Thank you.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47We haven't had one yet, have we?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49We've got into this terrible routine on this show,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50people keep bringing us cakes.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I know, what do they think this is, Test Match Special?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I wish we hadn't started that(!)
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Fantastic. Now then, Simon. We can't put it off any longer.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02We need a word ending in OOF.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I think I'm going to go with woof.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Going to be a bit risky.- Woof.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12OK, woof, says Simon. Let's see how many of our 100 people said woof.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Absolutely right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Well, ooh, 62 for woof.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22APPLAUSE
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- 62 for woof.- Another very big score.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yeah, woof, a sound made by a dog.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I wonder if dogs sitting at home are finally going,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38"Finally these guys are talking to me!"
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Let's take a look at the scores.
0:08:42 > 0:08:4534, the best answer of that pass, well done, Krissy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48You see, Russ did you an immense favour there, as it turns out.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Then up to 55, where we find Russ and MJ.
0:08:50 > 0:08:5162, Simon D and Angela
0:08:51 > 0:08:56and then 100, Simon B and Ian. Luckily though, Ian,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58that's the face of a man who's got a brilliant word
0:08:58 > 0:09:01ending in OOF. Good luck with that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We need a low score from you to keep you in the game.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Angela. Welcome to the show. - Thank you.- What do you do, Angela?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm a civil servant.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well, I've got a little boy who's nearly two,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25so more often than not I tend to do children's things now,
0:09:25 > 0:09:30get together with other mummies and do the whole soft play area things
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and...sometimes we like to incorporate a bottle of wine in that.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Important, particularly for those early morning get-togethers.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- But more often than not, no. - Very good.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So, Angela, a word ending in OOF.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48OK, I'm going to go for goof.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53Goof says Angela. Goof. There's your red line.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55The highest scorers on 100 are Ian and Simon B.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59You're on 62, so you want to be scoring 37 or less.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01How many people said goof?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Ohh, 38 that scores you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Not bad at all. 38 means you are
0:10:14 > 0:10:16joint high scorers with Ian and Simon B,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19only they haven't given their second answer yet. Very well done.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Yes, goof. A mistake, particularly in an entertainment programme
0:10:22 > 0:10:24or a silly person.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- I've been disappointed in the answers we've seen.- Me too.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- I think they've been a little safe, don't you?- Yeah.- Little bit.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- No pressure on anyone else, but a little bit.- Little bit safe.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Now, Ian, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- You are from Manchester.- Yes.- And you're a work colleague of Simon's?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Yeah, working with disadvantaged adults.- Very good indeed.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46And what do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Well, I have a few hobbies, one being photography,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55like photographing wildlife and historical buildings.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59What's the most exotic bit of wildlife you've snapped?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Slightly risky one, when I was in Australia, erm,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06was photographing the nest
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- of bullet ants.- Wow.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12That's one you really do want a long lens for, isn't it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Now then, Ian, a word ending in OOF.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Erm, I'll try spoof.- Spoof.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23OK, well, you are joint high scorers at this stage on 100.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's see how many people said spoof.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's right.
0:11:34 > 0:11:3631, not bad at all.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Our lowest score so far.
0:11:40 > 0:11:4131,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43your total is 131.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Good answer, Ian. Yeah, a spoof.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You know what a spoof is. It's Pointless, of course.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52This started as a spoof in the first couple of episodes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Then it turned into a real quiz show. - Is it a real quiz show?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Yeah, that's a spoof. OK, now then, Linda.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Linda, you're on 34,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04brilliant answer from Krissy in the first pass.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Remind us what you like getting up to in your spare time.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Sleeping?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Well, you're a nurse, you probably need to,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- you work very hard.- Erm,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I like gardening.- Excellent, OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21How are you on these words rounds?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Is this a round you watch when the show comes on and think,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28"Ooh, I'd quite like to play that one?" No.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- OK, let's have an answer from you, Linda.- Er, hoof.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Hoof says Linda. Hoof.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38OK, well, you're on 34, the high scorers on 131 are Ian and Simon B.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40That's what your red line looks like.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Let's see if hoof can get you below that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Absolutely right and you're through.
0:12:46 > 0:12:4866.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Quite a high score, but it doesn't matter. You are through
0:12:50 > 0:12:52and you're on 100.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- A very popular total. - Another big scoring answer.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- There's plenty of small scoring answers out there.- There must be.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Yeah, there's loads. - There must be. Now then, MJ.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Remind us what you do, MJ?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Er, I'm a bio-medical student at the University of Reading.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Very good indeed. Any bio-medical words ending in OOF?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Not that I've learned so far.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20OOF's not very scientific, is it, as a suffix goes?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- No, unless you're dropping things. - Exactly.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Which we try not to do when we're dealing with bacteria.- Quite right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Now then, MJ. The highest scorers remain Ian and Simon B
0:13:33 > 0:13:36on 131, you're on 55.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39If you can score 75 or less,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41you're in the second round.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm really not good with words and I can feel my dad's glare!
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Erm, I'm really sorry if this is wrong, Dad. Really sorry.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Erm, I'm going to go for...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59..unroof.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Unroof says MJ. "Grr," says Russ. Don't know what that means,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09but we'll see. Here is your red line.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Unroof. Is it right? If it is, it's a great answer. Unroof.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19It's right!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And you are through to the next round, very well done indeed, MJ.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26One!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Fabulous!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33One takes your total up to 56.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Terrific answer, MJ, very well played.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Now, the key to this round was Krissy's answer of proof,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46because bombproof would have scored four, bulletproof, Ian,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48would have scored you one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Childproof would have scored two, fireproof three,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54flameproof one, foolproof two, heatproof, one.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55There's all the proof words.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Let's take a look at the pointless answers,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00there's a few more proofs in there.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Coachroof, which is the top cabin bit on a boat.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Draughtproof would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Kloof, which is, that's like loof, but with a K on the front!
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- What does it mean?- A kloof? - Yeah.- Give us a kloof!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- It means, it's a wooded ravine. - A wooded ravine.- Yeah.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Let's take a look at a few more.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Leakproof, shockproof, showerproof, all of these pointless answers.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Weatherproof, witloof which is a type of chicory and yoof,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34which is an alternate spelling of youth.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38You could have also, funnily enough, you could have had lightproof,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42stormproof and, best of all, mothproof.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I'll tell you who would have done well in that round,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Health & Safety officers would have done amazingly.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- They'll still be reeling them off now.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54So at the end of our first round, the losing pair
0:15:54 > 0:15:57who'll be leaving us with their high score of 131, it's Ian and Simon B.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03It's so easy when you see those, isn't it? Oh, dear. Loof.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Anyway, there we are.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you, Ian and Simon B,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10but we'll see you again next time. Ian and Simon.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13APPLAUSE
0:16:14 > 0:16:17But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23There's only going to be room for two pairs
0:16:23 > 0:16:26in our head-to-head round, so one of the pairs in front of me now
0:16:26 > 0:16:28will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Simon and Angela, I don't think you need worry, you brought us cakes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34You will be going through to the final.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Russ, you work in biscuits.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You've been on the show twice, haven't brought so much as a crumb.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42That's true, actually. That is true.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Yeah, not a dickie bird, so yes, borrowed time, I'd say, Russ and MJ.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Soap Operas. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57who's going to go second?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06OK and the question concerns...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Soap Operas and their Settings, Richard.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14On each pass, we're going to show you six settings of dramas
0:17:14 > 0:17:16and soap operas both past and present.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17You just need to tell us
0:17:17 > 0:17:20which soap opera or drama is set in these settings.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24OK, thanks very much.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26So we are looking for the soap operas
0:17:26 > 0:17:30that are set in these locations, and here we go. We have got...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'll read those all again without the dates.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03There we are. Six soap opera settings.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Russ, how do we feel about this? - We feel really badly, Alexander.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Don't watch soap operas and, to be honest,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16some of them look like anagrams.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Erm, oh, let's pluck something out of the air,
0:18:19 > 0:18:24let's try Erinsborough as Emmerdale.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Erinsborough, Emmerdale, says Russ. Let's see if that's right
0:18:27 > 0:18:30and, if it is, let's see how many people said Emmerdale.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Bad luck, Russ. An incorrect answer,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Richard.- Yeah, sorry Russ. Emmerdale is set in Emmerdale.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46LAUGHTER
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Let me just check if that's...yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Krissy. How are we feeling about this?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Er, not too bad, but I probably know all the high scorers.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Erm, I think I'll maybe correct Russ' one on Erinsborough
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- and say Neighbours. - Neighbours says Krissy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Neighbours for Erinsborough, let's see how many people knew that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Absolutely right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:1849.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21APPLAUSE
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- 49.- Yeah, Neighbours, absolutely right, and Russ,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25when you said some of those looked like anagrams
0:19:25 > 0:19:28you weren't far wrong with Erinsborough and Neighbours,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31it virtually is an anagram of "Or Neighbours."
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Now then, Angela. You're the last person to have this board.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Can you talk us through it, maybe fill in some of the blanks for us?
0:19:41 > 0:19:48Erm, OK. I think Cwmderi might be Take The High Road,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50but I'm not sure, it might be a bit too early for that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Genoa City, I don't know at all.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Southfork Ranch is Dallas.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Los Barcos, I think it was Eldorado, I might be wrong.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01And then Walford is EastEnders.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I might...I don't know whether to play safe, though,
0:20:05 > 0:20:12and go for, erm, Southfork Ranch and Dallas.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Dallas says Angela for Southfork Ranch. Let's see if that's right
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and, if it is, let's see how many people said Dallas.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Absolutely right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2459.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26APPLAUSE
0:20:27 > 0:20:2959, not a bad score at all. Richard.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Not a bad score, Angela, but you should have taken that risk,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35cos Los Barcos is the setting for Eldorado.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Absolutely right, and that would have scored you six points.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Would have been a great answer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Walford, as you can imagine, is a pretty big score, it's EastEnders.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Would have scored 83.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Cwmderi, it's not Take The High Road, it's Pobol Y Cwm,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51the Welsh soap opera, would have scored three,
0:20:51 > 0:20:57and then Genoa City, fans of American soap operas might have got this,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00it's a pointless answer and it's a huge show over there,
0:21:00 > 0:21:01The Young and the Restless.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:07 > 0:21:0849 the best score of that pass,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Krissy, very well done.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Krissy and Linda looking pretty good on the back of that,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16then up to 59, where we find Angela and Simon,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and then, I'm afraid, 100 points for Russ and MJ.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22So, MJ, you good on soap operas?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Not at all.- Not at all?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28OK, it's going to be fun! We'll come back down the line now.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK, let's put six more soap opera settings on the board
0:21:35 > 0:21:37and here they come.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'll read those all again without the dates.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Remember, we are looking for the soap operas set in these locations,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and Simon D, you are going to try
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11How do you feel about this, Simon?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I don't feel too bad.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I don't know loads, but I'm confident on a couple of them.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18I've been to one,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21so I'm really confident on one,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23but I don't know if it's too obvious, though,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26so I'm going to go Summer Bay,
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Home and Away.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Summer Bay, Home and Away, says Simon. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Now, you're on 59. The highest scorers on 100 are MJ and Russ.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38If you can score 40 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41There's your red line. How many people said Home and Away?
0:22:47 > 0:22:4952.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Well, you are the high scorers for now on a score of 111.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Yeah, I think that should see you through. It's a good answer, Simon.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Now then, Linda,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Linda, how confident are you feeling on this?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05There's just one I think I know.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09OK, the high scorers are Simon and Angela on 111.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12You're on 49. 61 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'll go for the second one,
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Ambridge, The Archers.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Ambridge, The Archers, says Linda.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The Archers. Here's your red line.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Below that, through you go.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how may people said The Archers.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Absolutely right.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well done, you're through!
0:23:34 > 0:23:3738. Very well done indeed, Linda.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4187 your total.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yeah, the longest-running drama in the world, The Archers,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47set in Ambridge in a beautiful Borsetshire village
0:23:47 > 0:23:49in the vale of the River Am.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Now then, MJ,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55you're the last person to have this board.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59You have to score ten or less to get through to the head-to-head.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04What do you make of all these?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I'm trying to think of soap operas that I know that haven't been said.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Um...
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Random stab in the dark,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16let's go for Coronation Street...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21and...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24..Charnham.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Charnham.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31You had Coronation Street stopping in 2005.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34LAUGHTER
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Well, OK, let's see if that's right. There is your red line. Let's see,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Charnham, Coronation Street.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Oh!- 200 Club.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Bad luck, MJ. I'm sorry.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50An incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52takes your total up to 200. Richard.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Yeah, I have to say, MJ and Russ,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57you've been terrific throughout the last show and the start of this one
0:24:57 > 0:24:58but that's a bad round.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- If you're going to go out, that's the way to do it.- Crash and burn.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Absolutely, that is the way to do it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Charnham, it's a tough answer, actually,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07it was Channel 5's soap opera
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Family Affairs, set in Charnham,
0:25:10 > 0:25:11would have scored three points,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13a very good answer.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Sun Hill is the only obvious one left on that board, that's The Bill,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18would have scored 66.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20The other two, like The Young And The Restless,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23these are two very, very big American soap operas.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The top one, Salem,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28is The Days Of Our Lives, would have scored you one point,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and Port Charles is General Hospital,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35and that's a pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38OK, thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of Round Two,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42our losing pair, going out with a score of 200 in a blaze of glory,
0:25:42 > 0:25:43it's MJ and Russ.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Well, it's been fantastic having you on both of these Pointless shows.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You've given us some great memories
0:25:49 > 0:25:51of both biscuits and James Brown,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53so thank you for all of that
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- but great contestants, MJ and Russ. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:01 > 0:26:04The two remaining pairs are one step closer to the final
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and a chance of taking home the jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, congratulations, Krissy and Linda, Simon and Angela,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17you are now only one round away from the final
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22which currently stands at £12,000.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25APPLAUSE
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Obviously, only one pair can play for that money.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30To decide which pair it will be, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37OK, so, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Here comes your first question,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47and it concerns...
0:26:49 > 0:26:50LAUGHTER FROM AUDIENCE
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I like that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now
0:26:54 > 0:26:57of birds which belong to species commonly known by six-letter names.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Can you pick the most obscure?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five six-letter birds
0:27:02 > 0:27:04and here they are. We have got...
0:27:19 > 0:27:21There we are. Five birds
0:27:21 > 0:27:23whose names are six letters long.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Krissy and Linda, you've played best throughout the show,
0:27:26 > 0:27:27so you go first.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, E is osprey.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- (WHISPERS)- Shall we go with that?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34A is a cuckoo.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- We'll go for E, will we?- A?- E.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40We'll go for E.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41And it is...?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42An osprey.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45An osprey. E - an osprey.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Simon and Angela, talk us through the board.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Um...- Hmm!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We think we might know C...?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56We think C is puffin...
0:27:57 > 0:28:00..but other than that, it might have to be a bit of a guess.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Yeah, A might be...
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Thrush.- Thrush?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Ah, let's think.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10We'll take a risk and think maybe A could be thrush.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12OK, A - thrush.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15So, we have E - osprey
0:28:15 > 0:28:16and A - thrush.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Krissy and Linda said osprey for E.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. Osprey.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Absolutely right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:3027.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32APPLAUSE
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Simon and Angela have said that A is thrush. A - thrush.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said thrush for A.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Oh! Bad luck.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49An incorrect answer, which means, Krissy and Linda,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52after one question, you are up 1-0. Very well done. Richard.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Well played, Krissy and Linda. Yeah, it's not a thrush. It's a cuckoo, A.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Would have scored you 22 points.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00I was terrible at this round.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I thought that was a pigeon.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03LAUGHTER
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Uh, B...
0:29:05 > 0:29:06..is a chough.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10That's how you spell that,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12would have scored you eight points.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16C is a puffin, but would have scored you far too many points,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18would have scored you 82, in fact.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20D, do you know D?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- It is of course a wigeon.- A wigeon.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27And that would have scored you two points. It's a dabbling duck.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30And there's osprey, 27, so very well played.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Simon and Angela, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Spices. Richard.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46We're going to show you five anagrams now of common spices.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Can you unscramble them and pick the best?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Let's reveal our five anagrams of spices. Here they come. We've got...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I'll read that one last time.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11There we are.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Five spices.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Simon and Angela, you go first this time.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I don't know any, so...
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- (WHISPERS)- Shall I tell you which ones I think they are?
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Yeah, go on, then.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Cinnamon, saffron, turmeric...
0:30:23 > 0:30:24I think the fourth one
0:30:24 > 0:30:26is cayenne pepper.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Cayenne pepper.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Cayenne pepper, say Simon and Angela. Now then,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Krissy and Linda, you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Er...well!
0:30:37 > 0:30:40There's only two other ones that we know.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I think the third one's curmerit
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and the bottom one's praprik... Paprika!
0:30:46 > 0:30:49So I think we'll go for curmerit.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52OK, curmerit, say Krissy and Linda.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Cayenne pepper and curmerit.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58OK, Simon and Angela have said cayenne pepper.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Six for cayenne pepper!
0:31:11 > 0:31:13APPLAUSE
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Cayenne pepper.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Now then, Krissy and Linda,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21you have said that "Curt Mire" is curmerit.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said curmerit.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Oh, bad luck! Bad luck.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32So, Simon and Angela, well done, you're back in the game.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Yeah, it's turmeric, "Curt Mire", turmeric.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Would have scored you 26 points.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40"In Con Man"...
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Cinnamon.- Cinnamon, absolutely right, would have scored you 15.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Now, "For Fans", it's the most expensive spice in the world.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Saffron.- Saffron, yeah.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50That would have scored you 35,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and the biggest scorer there,
0:31:52 > 0:31:53"Irk Papa", paprika,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56that would have scored you 86 points.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01So it all comes down to this third question, the decider.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07The European Union. Richard.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Simply going to give you five clues
0:32:09 > 0:32:12to facts about the European Union. Best of luck, both teams.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16OK, so, let's reveal our five clues to facts about the EU.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18And here they come. We have got...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I'll read those all one last time...
0:32:45 > 0:32:49There we are. Five clues to facts about the EU.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Krissy and Linda, you go first again.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54What do you think?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57THEY WHISPER
0:32:57 > 0:32:59What do you think?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02The name of the official anthem is
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Beethoven's Ode To Joy.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Ode To Joy. The Ode To Joy,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Krissy and Linda say is the official anthem.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Simon and Angela, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15THEY LAUGH
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Not one of our strong subjects, really, but...
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Obviously, the single currency is the euro.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25French city, what did you think it was?
0:33:25 > 0:33:26I don't know if it was...
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I know it, and it'll annoy me when I see the answer,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32but I can't get Bordeaux out of my head, for some reason.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Should we try...- The top one and go for a risk?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Go on, you say it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40We really haven't got a clue, so we're just going to say
0:33:40 > 0:33:42the treaty that created the EU,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44the Maastricht Treaty?
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Maastricht, say Simon and Angela. Maastricht.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50So, Krissy and Linda have said the Ode To Joy
0:33:50 > 0:33:52is the official anthem of the EU.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said the Ode To Joy.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58It's absolutely right.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Down it goes. Look at that,
0:34:04 > 0:34:08five! Very well done, Krissy and Linda.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Very nice indeed.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Simon and Angela have said the Maastricht Treaty
0:34:14 > 0:34:15created the EU. Maastricht.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21It's absolutely right.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Now, let's see how far down you go.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25This will decide who stays and who leaves.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's still going down. Down it goes.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Oh, 14.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Very well done, Krissy and Linda.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41The best two answers up there. That was some head-to-head. Well played, everybody.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Let's look at the rest of these.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45The single currency is the euro.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Pretty hefty, though. 97 points.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50The French city where the European Parliament meets...
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Strasbourg.- Strasbourg.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Would have scored 17.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55The Prime Minister that took
0:34:55 > 0:34:56- the UK into Europe?- Ted Heath?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Edward Heath. Absolutely right. 22 points for that.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Ode To Joy the best answer up there. Terrific.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Thanks very much.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:05 > 0:35:06it's Simon and Angela.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That was a really tough board, wasn't it?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Thrush, it has six letters.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- That was it.- You know? A cuckoo?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15They don't look like that on the clocks.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Not in a clock.- Not in a clock.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20No, exactly. But you played very, very well.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Great having you on the show. We'll see you next time. Look forward to that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Simon and Angela, everyone.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE
0:35:27 > 0:35:30But, for Krissy and Linda, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Congratulations, Krissy and Linda.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37You fought off all the competition
0:35:37 > 0:35:39and you've now won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:48 > 0:35:50and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:35:52 > 0:35:55CHEERING
0:35:55 > 0:35:59When you left the last show in the first round, did you ever think
0:35:59 > 0:36:02you would make it through to the final in your reappearance?
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Of course.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Quite right. Quite right. You've done so well. Fantastically well.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08The rules are very simple.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10To win the money, you have to find a pointless answer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Do that and you will leave here with £12,000. Now, that is a jackpot.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17First, you have to choose a category and here are your five options.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18They are...
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Oooh.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28I don't know. What do you think?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I haven't got anything.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- We'll try Universities. - We'll try Universities.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Universities, say Krissy and Linda.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Universities. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:48 > 0:36:51..as they could. Richard.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We're looking for the current name of any
0:36:53 > 0:36:56college of Cambridge University founded before 1900, please.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59That's according to the official Cambridge University website.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Any of the colleges that were formed before 1900.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Very, very best of luck.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Thank you very much.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09All you need to win that £12,000
0:37:09 > 0:37:11is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Are you ready?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- OK.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Your time starts now.- Right.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- King's College, Cambridge. - King's College, Cambridge?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- I really don't know any other colleges.- I don't know any of them.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- King's College.- King's College.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34University Challenge, I can't remember half of it.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I know Oxford better.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Do speak up.- Sorry!
0:37:39 > 0:37:40THEY LAUGH
0:37:40 > 0:37:42We know Oxford better.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Don't really know any of the Cambridge ones.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47This is embarrassing.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Err...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52There's King's College, Cambridge.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53There must be...
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'm absolutely stumped.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00King's College. Henry VIII.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I can't think of any.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Magdalene? No.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Ten seconds left.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Magdalene.- Magdalene College?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Keep conferring. Don't give you answers yet.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Magdalene College, King's College and...
0:38:14 > 0:38:17OK, there we are. Time is now up.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18We were looking for colleges
0:38:18 > 0:38:22and halls of Cambridge University founded before 1900.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23I now need your three answers.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Well, we've got King's College.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- King's College.- Magdalene College.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Magdalene.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And we haven't got a clue, so we'll just say George College.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34George College.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37OK. King's College, Mag-dal-en, or Magdalene,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39George College.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- I'd say Magdalene.- Magdalene.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47You'll put Magdalene College last. OK.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Which is your least likely, do you think?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- King's.- King's. OK.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54So King's, George, Magdalene.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58We've got...
0:39:01 > 0:39:03So we're looking for the colleges
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and halls of Cambridge University that were founded before 1900.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Now, your first answer, King's College,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12you say was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17You only have to find one pointless, remember, to win the jackpot of £12,000.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19So, let's see. £12,000.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23How many people said King's College?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- It's right.- Oh, well, at least we got it right.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30OK, this was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32King's, taking you down through 40,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34through the 30s. Still going down.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3724. There we are. 24.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39APPLAUSE
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Not a bad answer at all, by any means.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And King's probably the most famous of all the Cambridge colleges,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47so there we are. Only 24 people got that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Now, what would you do with £12,000 if you won it? Linda?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Oooh. I'm in the middle of getting my garden sorted out,
0:39:58 > 0:39:59so I'd put money towards that.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Very nice.- That would be great. And a holiday.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06You know, put some aside and...
0:40:06 > 0:40:07THEY LAUGH
0:40:07 > 0:40:09There we are. Krissy, how about you?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Me, probably get that motorbike that I haven't got.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14LAUGHTER
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Very good. Very best of luck. Two more answers on the board.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's hope at least one of those is a pointless answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20We're looking for colleges
0:40:20 > 0:40:22and halls of Cambridge University founded before 1900.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Your next answer, George College, was a bit of a shot in the dark.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29But, it came from somewhere. Who knows?
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Maybe it's a correct answer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £12,000.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Let's see how many people said George College, Cambridge.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41No. Bad luck.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43An incorrect answer, I'm afraid, as it turns out.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48So, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot of £12,000.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51This, you said, was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Magdalene College. Your third and final answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Now, if this is right and if this is pointless,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59you'll be leaving here with £12,000.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01So, let's see. Magdalene College.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04How many people said it? Is it right?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08It's absolutely right.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Now, King's College took us down to 24,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12George College turned out not to exist,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15but Magdalene College most certainly does exist
0:41:15 > 0:41:16and down it goes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Oh! 14.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Oh, well. Never mind.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Not a bad answer at all, 14.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Sadly, at this stage in the game, we're only interested in pointless answers.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31so you don't win today's jackpot of £12,000,
0:41:31 > 0:41:32which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34But you've been great, really good.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Really good sports the whole way through.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Great to have you here. You do, of course, get to take home
0:41:38 > 0:41:40the Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Well played, Krissy and Linda. It's been lovely having you on the shows.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Lovely having you down from Inverness.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Let's look at some of the pointless answers
0:41:53 > 0:41:55and hopefully none of these will be familiar to you.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57All of these founded in the 1800s...
0:42:01 > 0:42:04..Newnham College, which is an all-female college.
