0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:29and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40I'm Kevin. This is Brian. We're both from Romford and Brian is my father.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Ah. Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hi. I'm Tabitha. This is Luke.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- We're a couple from Leicester. - Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm Ian. This is a colleague of mine, Simon.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We both work in Manchester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- And couple number four.- Hi. I'm Simon. This is my friend, Angela.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We're former work mates from Nottingham.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Thank you. We'll be finding out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Only one person left to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14He's like a swashbuckling adventurer setting sail to find brave new worlds of obscure knowledge.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Plus he's got scurvy. He's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Now, the jackpot keeps going up. - We need to talk about the jackpot.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- OK. Go on.- I'm worried.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- It's swelling.- Too much money? - I think it is too much.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Are you worried about security? - A little bit, yes, to be honest.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Worried about visitors to the BBC maybe making off with it?- Yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's fine. It's in my dressing room. It's fine.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- I shall rest easy.- It's plenty of money, though, isn't it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Plenty.- Both Simon teams are back.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I know. In the same positions they were in last time. Confusing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Disconcerting.- Yeah.- But should be a cracker today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It'll be fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02No doubt. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer, which none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16As Richard says, Chrissie and Linda didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So today's jackpot starts off at £13,000!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there's no conferring.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. Make sure it's not you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Our first category is...
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Politics. Decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55OK. The question concerns...
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Political figures. Richard?- On each pass, we'll give you seven clues
0:03:01 > 0:03:04leading to famous politicians or famous politicians' wives.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10An obscure one will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:03:10 > 0:03:1314 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The politicians of the world described by these clues.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Here's our first board.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'll read those all again.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56There we are. Seven clues to politicians of the world.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Brian, a warm welcome. Always great to have a father/son team on the show.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What do you do, Brian?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm retired, so I don't do very much!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What do you get up to, Brian?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I play a bit of golf. My family say I play "at" a bit of golf!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14They're probably right.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Fair enough. Now, then. In among all that, do you find time to follow politics?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23In as much as it's worth following. I keep abreast.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So I know the answers to a few of these.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I'm going to go for youngest and first female governor of Alaska.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Sarah Palin.- Sarah Palin, says Brian.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Sarah Palin.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Absolutely right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Nothing wrong with that, Brian. 30 for Sarah Palin.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well played, Brian. Very good answer.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Sarah Palin, famously gaffe-prone running mate of John McCain.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Tabitha.- Hi.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Warm welcome to the show. Great to have you on Pointless.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- What do you do, Tabitha? - I'm a youth and children's worker.
0:05:05 > 0:05:12So I do a lot of youth groups and children's clubs and lessons and things.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I also go into local schools and do drama lessons and lunch clubs and things like that.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Very good. What do you get up to when you're not doing that?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I swing dance.- Wow. - Yeah, and I sing a lot.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25What sort of things do you sing?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- I sing at church, so mostly churchy songs!- Right. OK.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- How about your politics?- This is one of the worst subjects for me.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I know nothing.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38There's one that's going to be incredibly high.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'm going to take a risk.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45So I'm going to go with "Infamously asked, 'Is our children learning?'"
0:05:45 > 0:05:48and say Margaret Thatcher.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Margaret Thatcher, says Tabitha.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Bad luck, Tabitha. I'm afraid not Margaret Thatcher.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Sorry, Tabitha. She was many things, Margaret Thatcher,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but she was rarely ungrammatical!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yes, indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Now, Simon. Simon, welcome back to the show.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17You had a may-fly-like appearance on the last show.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Just Round One. I think we'll see a lot more of you today.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Remind us what you do.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'm a project worker, working with homeless people.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27What are your hobbies?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I like to watch sci-fi, like to view sci-fi. I like to game.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Socialise with friends. A little bit of acting.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39This is right. He played a bully.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Played a bully in a Manchester based film who came to a sticky end.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Came to a sticky end.- Elaborate on that. How sticky was the end?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He was arrested by the police and taken away.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Now, Simon, are you feeling good about this as a category?
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Am I feeling good? I do keep abreast of politics.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59The board looks OK and I think I can answer one.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I'm looking at "Presented an inconvenient truth in 2006."
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I believe that was Al Gore.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Al Gore, says Simon. Is that the right answer, and if so, how many people said Al Gore?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Absolutely right, Simon. Well done.
0:07:17 > 0:07:2130 is our best score so far. You've smashed through that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Down it goes to 12. Very well done.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Well played, Simon. Congratulations on keeping abreast!
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Al Gore. Spends most of his time now as chairman of the Climate Reality Project.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Thank you very much. Now, Simon D.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Welcome back to the show.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42You were in the head-to-head, last time.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Yes, we were.- What happened?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Neither of us are very good at recognising six-letter birds.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51We mixed our thrush with our cuckoo and came a-cropper.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Yeah. OK, Simon. What do you make of this board? You're the last person to have it.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01If you wanted to, you could fill us in on all those ones that people haven't answered.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Definitely can't fill you in on all of them.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I can have a stab at a couple.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I need to go safe, though, cos I'm not confident on the ones I think I might know.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So I'm going to go with the South African president.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Spent 27 years in prison, is Nelson Mandela.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Nelson Mandela, says Simon D.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Is it right, and if so, how many people said Nelson Mandela?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Absolutely right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:2673. It's a big one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But it's better than 100. Nelson Mandela?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34A hefty score, for Nelson Mandela, which is a good thing, I think.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38In 2012 they had the first bank notes featuring Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- 2012?- Yes, they hadn't had them before.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43They had wildlife and things on their bank notes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But he's on it now. Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Person who infamously asked, "Is our children learning?"
0:08:51 > 0:08:54is someone much more gaffe-prone that Margaret Thatcher.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- George W.Bush.- Absolutely right.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Would have scored four points.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Now, the first modern elected Mayor of London?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Ken Livingstone.- Yep.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08That scored 21. Do you know the first leader of the Liberal Democrats?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Paddy Ashdown.- It is. Now Lord Ashdown. That scored three.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Married Yvette Cooper in 1998?- Ed Balls.- Ed Balls, shadow chancellor.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Absolutely. That scored 19.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So Paddy Ashdown, the best answer on that board.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Thank you very much, Richard. Let's look at the scores half-way through the round.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2612, Simon B. Very much the best score of that pass.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Simon and Ian, I would like to think you're safe on the back of that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But keep up the low scoring, Ian, and we'll see you in the next round.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Then up to 30, Brian and Kevin,
0:09:35 > 0:09:3773 Simon D and Angela.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40And then 100, Tabitha and Luke.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Luke, it may not be curtains for you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Just make sure you score as low as you can in the next pass.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57OK. Seven more clues to politicians of the world on the board.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58And we have got...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'll read those one last time.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Angela, you're going to try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Remind us what you do, Angela? - I'm a civil servant.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Does politics interest you at all?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- No, I certainly don't keep abreast of politics, no.- No.- I'm afraid.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The high scorers are Luke and Tabitha on 100.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00You're on 73. If you can score 26 or less,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Oh, no. Is it that bad?- That bad.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Well, there's one that's standing out to me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10But who I'm thinking of isn't as old as that.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15It's the former professional bodybuilder, born in 1947.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I think it may be Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21OK. You're going to say Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Arnold Schwarzenegger, former professional bodybuilder.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27There's your red line. If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Is it right? How many people said Schwarzenegger?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Absolutely right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Very well done. 37.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I think that's good enough. 37 takes your total up to 110.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Well played. Might have done enough. Just released his autobiography. It's got a good title.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Do you know what it is?- No. - "Total Recall."
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Ah. Good. Good. There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Now, then, Ian. I would say you are all but through to the next round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Lovely low score from Simon in the last pass.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Ian, what do you like getting up to? How do you spend your spare time?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I enjoy doing photography.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13And also another hobby is remixing music.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Remixing music? How do you actually do that?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Do you get in a special format so you can separate all the tracks to remix them?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- I do it on a computer.- Right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26You can actually what they call track split.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30You can remove certain parts and introduce other parts.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So you can do that with a normal version of a song?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37You have to get a song that is recorded in high quality.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I didn't know that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We could remix our single.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Good idea. We should write and record it first!
0:12:45 > 0:12:51- And then remix it.- Very good. I'm putting the cart before the horse again!- Pretty much!- Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54OK. Ian, politics a good area for you?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- No. Very poor area for me.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The high scorers on 110 are Angela and Simon D. You're on 12.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04If you can score 97 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08There's a couple that I think I know.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10But I'd rather play it safe.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13First lady, mother of Malia and Sasha,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Michelle Obama.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Michelle Obama, says Ian. Here's your red line.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Lovely and high. Let's see if Michelle Obama can get you below that.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25There we are. Brilliant.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Not a bad score at all.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Takes your total to 39.
0:13:36 > 0:13:43Well played, Ian. There's a plaque at the spot where she had her first kiss from Barack Obama.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Really?- It's outside a Chicago shopping centre!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Thank you very much. Now, Luke.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Welcome to the show. What do you do, Luke?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55I have two part-time jobs. I work at a Christian bookshop during the day
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and in the evening I work at a cinema, selling tickets.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Do you get to see lots of films, then?- I do, yes.- That's good.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04That is good. Maybe that will pay dividends on Pointless.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Maybe.- Maybe.- Not right now!
0:14:07 > 0:14:08No, not right now. No.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, Luke, you aren't quite the high scorers any more.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Angela and Simon D are. But you're only ten points behind.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20If you score nine points or less, you're definitely through to the next round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24So I know a couple of the answers, which are fairly obvious.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I'm going to go for one which is less obvious.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I might pronounce it wrong,
0:14:28 > 0:14:34but I'm going to say Slobodan Milosevic for first president of the Russian Federation.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Slobodan Milosevic, first president of the Russian Federation.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Slobodan Milosevic. Here's your red line. Very low.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Let's see if Milosevic is right, and if so, how many people said it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No, Luke, an incorrect answer, I'm afraid, scoring the maximum 100 points.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Taking your total up to an impressive 200!
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Richard?- The good news, Luke, is you pronounced it impeccably.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Good.- But very, very much not Russian.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03He was a Serbian president.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Now then, Kevin. Kevin, what do you do?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I work for Royal Mail. - Which bit of Royal Mail?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- In the sorting office. - Oh, that's fun. With the machine?
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- Oh, yes! I'm allowed one of those now.- Looks great fun.- It is fun.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Very satisfying. What do you get up to when you leave the sorting office?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I spend a lot of time at the Salvation Army.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Working with children and stuff.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- You're not a musician or anything? - No, I sing.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- You sing?- Yeah.- Now, then, Kevin.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It just so happens I think you'll be rather good at this round.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38But it happens that you're already through. The high scorers are Luke and Tabitha.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40They're way, way ahead of you on 200.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Brian set you up very well with 30 in the first pass.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48What do you make of the board? You're the last person, so you could talk us through it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I could, but I can't!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53As I'm last and we're already through,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I will have a stab in the dark.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I think, in the back of my mind,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00that the UK primes minister who won the Nobel Prize for literature
0:16:00 > 0:16:02might be Winston Churchill.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Winston Churchill, says Kevin. Winston Churchill.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07No red line as you're already through.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10But let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13It is absolutely right. Well done.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Brian scored 30. You've gone through that. Look at that. 12!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Very well done indeed. 12.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The joint best score of the round, Kevin.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well played, Kevin. He was given the Nobel Prize for literature in 1953.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's look through the rest of the board.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34The first president of the Russian Federation wasn't Slobodan Milosevic.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But it was Boris Yeltsin.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Three points. Terrific answer. Well done if you said that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Labour's longest serving prime minister?- Tony Blair.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Yes, Tony Blair. Absolutely.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Appeared in an episode of EastEnders in 2009?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Boris Johnson.- It was Boris Johnson, yes. Nine points.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- And elected president of France? - Francois Hollande.- Absolutely right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- So Boris Yeltsin, best answer there. - There we are. Thanks, Richard.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05At the end of our first round, our losing pair with a high score of 200
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I'm afraid, Luke and Tabitha, it's you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14The thing is, I knew most of the answers on the second board.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16There you are. You went in the wrong order.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Luke, how were you on the first?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I knew all of them.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Slobodan Milosevic. Wonderfully specific.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Very wrong.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Anyway, Luke and Tabitha, we'll see you again next time.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31We look forward to that. Thanks for playing. Luke and Tabitha.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Bands with colourful names. Richard?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Xander's going to show you the names of five bands on this board here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16We're looking for any UK Top 40 hit by any of these bands or featuring any of these bands, please.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Any UK Top 40 hit by or featuring any of the following bands.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24And this is up to October 2012. Good luck.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Thanks very much, Richard. OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30The name of any UK Top 40 single released by any of these bands.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31The bands are...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I'll read those a second time.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Five bands with colourful names.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50The name of any single by any one of those bands.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Now, Brian.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Yeah.- Brian.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Well, Simply Red and Pink Floyd, I should be able to get something.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Was the Pink Floyd tune Another Brick in the Wall?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Another Brick in the Wall, says Brian.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Is that right, and how many people said it, if it is.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13It's right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Well done, Brian.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- 37.- Well done, Brian. Not much thinking time on that first podium.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Another Brick in the Wall. Technically called Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Oh. Clever.- Cos there was a Part 1, as well.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Oh, I see. Oh, there was? I thought they were just being clever.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37No, no, no. Being factually accurate. Which is clever.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yes, which is also clever.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Good. Now, Simon B.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43How do we feel about this, Simon?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Um, middle of the road.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think that I can squeeze out an answer.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I'll go for Simply Red and Stars.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54You've squeezed out Stars. OK,
0:19:54 > 0:19:59is it right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Stars.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01It's correct.
0:20:06 > 0:20:0825. Very well done, Simon.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Well done, Simon. From your home town of Manchester, of course.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Now, then, Angela.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Do you feel better about this board?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yes, this is a lot more my thing!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm drawn to Simply Red.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29I think they had a Top 40 single called For Your Babies.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30For Your Babies. OK.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It's right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:4125 our best score so far.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43You've gone through that.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Ooh, two!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Brilliant, Angela.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49That's a great score. For Your Babies.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Terrific answer, Angela. From the same album as Stars.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Thank you. We're half-way through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Angela and Simon looking very strong. Angela, a wonderful answer. Great low score of two.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Up to 25 where we find Simon B and Ian.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Up to 37 where Brian and Kevin are to be found.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I think Kevin's got a good answer up his sleeve, though.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Pretty sure. I hope you have. It'll keep you in the game if you have. It's what you need.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Now, then. Simon D.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- How do we feel about this? - I like this round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The problem is I've got too many answers going through my head.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I'm not sure if they're all the exact titles.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Listen, you're on two. The high scorers are Brian and Kevin on 37.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38If you can score 34, you're through to the head-to-head for the second time.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41OK. I'm going to go with Maroon 5
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and She Will Be Loved.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45She Will Be Loved, says Simon.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Here's your red line. If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50How many people said She Will Be Loved?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It's right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You've done it again. You're in the head-to-head. Well done.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Five!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Your total is an impressively low seven.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Well played, Simon. Yes, a very early hit for Maroon 5
0:22:08 > 0:22:11in 2004. A number four hit as well.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Ian.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You're on 25. The high scorers are still Kevin and Brian on 37.
0:22:16 > 0:22:1811 or less is what you need to score.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- What are you going to say? - I'll go for Pink Floyd.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23And a song called Money.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Money, says Ian. Money. OK, here's your red line, Ian.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29See if you can get below that with Money.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Ooh, Ian, an incorrect answer as it turns out.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So you score the maximum 100 points taking your total to 125. Richard?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Sorry, Ian. Unlucky. A track from Dark Side of the Moon.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Big hit in America, but not a hit over here, I'm afraid.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Ooh. Now, Kevin.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Phew!
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Phee-ew!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You are on 37. Ian and Simon B are on 125.
0:22:54 > 0:22:5787 or less sees you through to the head-to-head.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I think I'll stick with Simply Red
0:23:00 > 0:23:03and go for Holding Back the Years.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Holding Back the Years, says Kevin. Holding Back the Years.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Here's your red line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09If Simply Red gets you below that red line,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12with Holding Back the Years, you are through to the next round.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Let's see if it's right.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Absolutely right. You've done it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2614 is your score. 51 your total.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Number two hit over here, but a number one in America, Holding Back the Years.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34And If You Don't Know Me By Now, Simply Red, was also a number one in the States.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- We didn't get any Black Eyed Peas or Blue.- No.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I suspect there are a few pointlesses there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43There are a few, certainly.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Here's a few. Breathe Easy, by Blue.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Don't Phunk With My Heart. Black Eyed Peas. Good advice!
0:23:49 > 0:23:54If I Never See Your Face Again, Maroon 5, featuring Rihanna,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55a pointless answer.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Let's Get It Started, another Black Eyed Peas song.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Signed, Sealed, Delivered, that was Blue.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Take It Back, Pink Floyd.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05The Air That I Breathe, a hit for Simply Red.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Too Close, that was Blue.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09And Simply Red again, We're In This Together.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Well done if you said any of those at home.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Thanks Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16our losing pair with a high score of 125, Ian and Simon B.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Oh, dear, oh, dear. Money was a great answer, just a wrong answer!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23But I thought that would see you down.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Were you thinking of other ones as well that you might have gone for?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Well, there were a couple of Black Eyed Pea ones that I thought of.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33None of the pointless ones.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37But would have been there and probably low scoring.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39If you were playing, you'd have gone with My Humps.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Yeah. It would have scored one point.- Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45In which case I definitely would have done!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Bit of Black Eyed Peas.- That is the Black Eyed Peas! Well done.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.- You know what's going on, don't you?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Oh, I like them, I'm down with the Peas.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Yeah. Name the four members of the Black Eyed Peas.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00will.i.am, Fergie...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02That's good.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04And the other two, no-one knows.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Ah.- Now, then. Ian, Simon B.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10We have to say goodbye. You had such a promising start.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- I thought you were going to go all the way.- Yep.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15But I'm afraid it isn't to be.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Thanks so much for playing. Ian and Simon B.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25For the two remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Congratulations, Kevin and Brian, Simon and Angela.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35You're only one round away from the final
0:25:35 > 0:25:39and the chance to play for the jackpot which stands at £13,000.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Obviously only one pair can play for that money.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48To decide which pair, you now go head-to-head.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51But you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04OK. Here comes your first question.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06And it concerns...
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Richard?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12We'll show you five pictures now
0:26:12 > 0:26:15of cities that have been European cities of culture or European capitals of culture.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Can you identify the most obscure? Good luck.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22OK. Let's reveal our five cities of culture. Here they come.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40There we go.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Five cities of culture.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Kevin and Brian, you've played best throughout the show, so you go first.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We're going for C as Liverpool.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04C, Liverpool, say Kevin and Brian. C, Liverpool.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Simon and Angela, the board is yours.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I think E might be Venice.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13B is Berlin.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Yeah.- A we're not sure of.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- D?- Looks a bit like Geneva.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- OK.- E, Venice.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23E, Venice.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25There we go.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Kevin and Brian say C is Liverpool.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Is it right? How many people said Liverpool for C.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Absolutely right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46And Simon and Angela are saying E is Venice.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Is it right? How many people said Venice for E.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Which means, Kevin and Brian, after one question you're up one-nil.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Good work. - Yes, not Venice, I'm afraid.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06There will be people watching now in Cork who know exactly where it is!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Oh, no.- Cork, very much the Venice of Ireland!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11That scored two points. Would have been a terrific answer.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Let's take a look at the rest.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16B, I think you knew, is Berlin.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19That scored 28 points.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23D is Athens.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Scored 17.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I think all cities look pretty much the same, don't they?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Yeah, you need a clue. A visual clue.- Modern buildings, old buildings, that's it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35A, where's the clue in that?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36A? Don't you recognise A?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40That's the Dimast building in the middle.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Well, it's Dutch, but that could be...
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Everyone... Surely, that's absolutely unmistakably Rotterdam.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50And it was a pointless answer.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Nobody in the world who doesn't live in Rotterdam recognises Rotterdam,
0:28:54 > 0:28:55it turns out.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There we are. Cork - do you know Cork?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00My dad's from Cork. I've been to Cork!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03And have you been to Venice?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06And I've been to Venice. To be fair, Venice is pretty grey.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Cork is so much nicer!
0:29:08 > 0:29:10My dad's not going to be very happy!
0:29:10 > 0:29:13They're not identical, Cork and Venice!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Anyway...- I'm so sorry, Dad! - There we are.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Here comes your second question. Simon and Angela,
0:29:19 > 0:29:20you need to win this to stay in the game.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22And it concerns...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Harrison Ford films. Richard?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29We'll show you the titles of five Harrison Ford films now,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32but we've left out the last word of each one.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Can you fill in these gaps?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37OK. Let's reveal our Harrison Ford films with missing words. We have got...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I'll read those all again.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Simon and Angela, you go first this time.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13We're going to go with The Devil's Own.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16The Devil's Own, say Simon and Angela. The Devil's Own.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Kevin and Brian. Talk us through the board.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I think the top one is What Lies Beneath.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25The next one down I think was American Graffiti.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I'm not sure of Hanover.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I think the bottom one is Working Girl.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32So we'll go with American Graffiti.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36American Graffiti say Kevin and Brian. American Graffiti.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Simon and Angela say The Devil's Own. Is it right and how many people said that?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43It's right.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Down it goes.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's a good answer. Nine. Just what you needed.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54A lovely low single figure score for Simon and Angela.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Is it enough to keep them in the game, I wonder?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Kevin and Brian say American Graffiti.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Is it right? How many people said it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Absolutely right.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Ooh, is it going to beat nine?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Ooh, 13!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Very well done, both pairs. Two excellent low-scoring answers.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Simon and Angela, that's what you needed. You're back in the game.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21After two questions, it's one-all.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Very close. It's the best answer on the board, The Devil's Own.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Nothing you could have done, guys. Terrific play by Simon and Angela.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30American Graffiti was a George Lucas film.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Harrison Ford was working as a carpenter at his house
0:31:33 > 0:31:38when George Lucas cast him in it. Went on to appear in many other George Lucas films.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41What Lies Beneath was absolutely right. That scored 63.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Working Girl, absolutely right.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45That would have scored 39.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Do you know Hanover? Hanover Street.
0:31:48 > 0:31:511979. That would have scored 11.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53So Devil's Own, best answer.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So it comes down to a third question. The decider.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Whoever wins this goes through to play for that massive jackpot.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Best of luck.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03It concerns...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Elizabeth I. Richard?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Just five clues now to facts about Elizabeth I of England.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Best of luck, both teams.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come. We have got...
0:32:30 > 0:32:31I'll read those again.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48There you go. Five clues to facts about Elizabeth I.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Kevin and Brian, you go first.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We're going to go for the American state named after her.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Virginia.- Virginia, say Kevin and Brian.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Virginia. Now, then.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Simon and Angela, the board is all yours.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14We think we know the bottom one.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16The Spanish Armada.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19The palace she was born in, Hampton Court?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23The name of her mother was Anne Boleyn.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25That's pretty obvious.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I don't think we can beat American state named after her.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Yes, so we'll go with the fleet of ships sent to invade England
0:33:32 > 0:33:35in 1588 by King Philip II, the Spanish Armada.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39The Armada. OK. So we have Virginia and we have The Armada.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Kevin and Brian say Virginia. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It's right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Simon and Angela have gone with The Armada.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Is it right, how many people said that?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's right.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0953 for The Armada.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Well done. Kevin and Brian, after three questions you're through to the final two-one.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21Well played, Kevin and Brian. The name of her mother, as you say, was Anne Boleyn.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24That would have scored 28 points.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Henry VIII was so furious Elizabeth was a girl, he didn't even go to her christening.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30The epic poem, I bet you know this one,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- written in praise of her? - Faerie Queene.- Absolutely right.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That scored seven.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37The top one is the sort of thing you think you know.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41You assume you know. It's actually the best answer on the board.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42- Any idea?- No.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Greenwich Palace.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47That would have scored three. Well done if you said that at home.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Thanks very much, Richard. Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Simon and Angela.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57Twice you've made it to the head-to-head and twice you haven't gone beyond, I'm afraid.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59But a creditable performance.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Perhaps with the exception of Venice!
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- I'm so sorry!- We'll draw a little green veil over that!
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Simon and Angela, it's been great having you on the show. You've played very well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Lovely having you on the show. Great contestants. Simon and Angela.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19But for Kevin and Brian, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Congratulations, Kevin and Brian.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy!
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £13,000!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47I'm really glad you've come through to the final.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49It's always lovely when people get to the final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But it's a real shame. We only get to see you for one show.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54You've kept abreast with the game so far.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I don't know what we're both good at.
0:35:59 > 0:36:06Maybe something geographical. We both seem to go along with that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Like towns in Essex!
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Yeah, that would be good!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Fingers crossed, eh?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18The rules are very simple. To win the money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Do that and you'll go home with £13,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24First you have to choose a category. Here are the five options.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35What do you reckon?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Not Funky Music!- Right.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40He doesn't want Funky Music!
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- I don't know about American TV.- No.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44What about Boxing?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46No. UK Politicians.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- UK Politics, OK. - We'll go for UK Politicians.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- UK Politicians.- Why not? - OK. Good luck!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01..as they could. Richard?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I think this is gettable, this.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06We're looking for any MP listed on the UK Parliamentary website
0:37:06 > 0:37:09as of the start of November 2012 whose surname begins with a vowel.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13We need first name and surname, please. Very best of luck, guys.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15A, E, I, O or U.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22All you need to win that £13,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29What do you reckon, then?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Gerry Adams.- Gerry Adams, yes.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34George Osborne. He's fairly well known.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- He is a politician?- He is. Is he?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Yes.- No, he's the Chancellor. Not a politician.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41So, Gerry Adams, George Osborne.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- I'm struggling after that.- Yes.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Leo Abse is no longer a...
0:37:47 > 0:37:49He might be.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I don't think so. I think he retired.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53If we haven't got it, we'll...
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Anyone with an E?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Edwards is the only surname I can think of.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Do you know any Edwards?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Gareth Edwards!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08No, that's rugby. Ignore rugby this time.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10There could be a Gareth Edwards.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I think we'll go with the three we've got.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Leo Abse.- Yeah.- George Osborne...
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- Ten seconds left.- Gerry Adams.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18OK. We're happy with our answers.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21You're happy with the three you have. We'll stop the clock.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24We were looking for MPs with surnames that begin with a vowel.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I now need your three answers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- We've got Gerry Adams.- Gerry Adams.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- George Osborne.- George Osborne.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- And...- Leo Abse.- Leo Abse.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Of those three, which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Gerry Adams.- Gerry Adams. We'll put him last.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Which is your least likely?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- The ever-popular George Osborne. - George Osborne we'll put first.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Let's pop those on the board in that order. We have got...
0:38:54 > 0:38:58We were looking for MPs with surnames that begin with a vowel.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Your first answer, George Osborne, you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £13,000 jackpot.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08So let's see how many people said George Osborne?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's right.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Will it go all the way down to zero?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Actually, MPs always perform very low on Pointless.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20So there's every chance it might go down.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Eight! There you go!
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Ooh!- There you go!
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Now, then. Not a pointless answer, as it turns out.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Quite reassuring, though. Only eight people got the Chancellor!
0:39:33 > 0:39:36If you were to walk away from here with £13,000, Kevin,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38what would be the first thing you'd do with it?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41My family are planning a trip to New York.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46We fancy a day trip to Niagara, which would eat up a lot of it.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Very good. Brian, how about you?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50I can tell you, honestly, Alexander,
0:39:50 > 0:39:55that I already have this earmarked by my wife.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I don't know what on, but she's really going to enjoy it!
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Ah, lovely. Good stuff. Let's hope she can.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Let's hope one of your two remaining answers will win it.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07OK. MPs with surnames that begin with a vowel.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Leo Abse.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- I'm sure he's not an MP.- You think he's no longer an MP?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14I'm sure he went out last election.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16I hope he didn't!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19It has to be correct, then it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22For £13,000, how many people said Leo Abse?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27No, bad luck.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31An incorrect answer. So everything is now riding on your last answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Your third and final shot at the jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36But this was your most confident answer.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39It is Gerry Adams.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43We're looking for MPs with surnames that begin with a vowel.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Adams definitely begins with a vowel!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47He just has to be an MP at the moment.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Let's see if that's right. How many people said it if it is.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53For £13,000.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- He's gone out.- Ooh, bad luck!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01That would have been a great answer. It would have been brilliant.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13So you don't leave with today's jackpot of £13,000 which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16But you have been brilliant contestants. It's been great having you on the show.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19And you get to take home our Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Thank you.- Thank you!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Unlucky, guys. Gerry Adams is just a member of the Irish parliament now.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Leo Abse didn't go out at the last election, he went out in 1987!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36He's had a sleep since then!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Other than that, that is a terrific answer!
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Terrific.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44This is one where you can win the jackpot if your local MP has a surname beginning with a vowel.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Albert Owen, the Welsh MP.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Bob Ainsworth, used to be defence secretary for Labour.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55David Amess, a famous Tory MP.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Used to be MP for Basildon, now Southend.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Douglas Alexander, the shadow foreign secretary.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Eric Ollerenshaw, Tory MP.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Jane Ellison, MP for Battersea.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Jonathan Edwards, Plaid Cymru MP.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Maria Eagle was a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Her sister, Angela Eagle, scored three points, don't know why!
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Nigel Evans, one of the Speaker's deputies, also a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22If your MP has a name beginning with a vowel,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25it's almost certainly a pointless answer. So very well done.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Thanks very much, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kevin and Brian.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thanks for playing. Kevin and Brian!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Kevin and Brian didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:40 > 0:42:42when we'll be playing for £14,000!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
