0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28A very warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where obvious
0:00:28 > 0:00:31answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Couple number one. - Hello there. My name's Stevie.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And my small, Pointless friend here's Ray. We're both from Glasgow.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45And we work together.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Couple Number two. - Hi, I'm Sam. I live in Hull.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52And this is my dad, Malcolm, and he lives in Bedford.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Harry. This is my friend John.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We're from Edinburgh.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- And couple number four. - Hi, I'm Shaun.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01This is my colleague, Rachel.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'm from Bedford, she's from Milton Keynes, and we both
0:01:04 > 0:01:06work in a special needs school in Bedford.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Thanks, everyone. We'll be finding out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21The Picasso of pedantry, the Mozart of minutiae, he's incomparable,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23apart from the two people I've just compared him to, obviously.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Hi, everyone.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Um...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- the jackpot...- Yeah.- ..still going up.- It is.- Still going up.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39It's a pretty nice jackpot. It's going to go today, I think.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Going to go today, that's my prediction.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I don't know who's going to win it, but I'm always wrong.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48But...I think it might go. And to celebrate, question one,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- best question ever.- Is it? Fantastic.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Yeah.- Well, thanks, Richard.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Everyone's wanting to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people got
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Shelly and Jenny didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:09 > 0:02:10so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Today's jackpot starts off at £18,000.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16There we go.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there's no conferring.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:32 > 0:02:37so try and make sure that's not you. Our first category today is...
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Famous People.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Can you all in decide your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And the question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54..Famous Richards.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Famous Richards, Richard.- That's about time, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Yeah, we're going to give you seven clues on each pass to famous people
0:03:02 > 0:03:07throughout history with the name of Richard. Give an obscure Richard, you'll score fewer points,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10give us an incorrect Richard, however, and you're going to score 100 points.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14So, seven Richards on Round One, seven Richards on Round Two,
0:03:14 > 0:03:1714 Richards in all to get at home. Let's Richard.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19That's a lot of Dicks. Now...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER
0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK, we are looking for the Richards described by these clues
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and let's look at the board. The first board reads like this.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11There we are, seven clues, seven Richards. Ray, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Thank you.- Great to have you here. What do you do, Ray?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I work in a train maintenance depot along with Stevie here.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Do you work together? Is one of you senior to the other?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Stevie's my manager. Not today he's not.- Oh!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- So, very much Ray's team, this one?- Correct.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Now, a lot of people who work in trains
0:04:28 > 0:04:31have a fascination with trains all their lives. Is that the case with you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Have you always loved trains? - No.- No.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- It's just a job.- Yes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40OK, now then, all these Richards. All these Richards.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Have you selected a nice low-scoring one, Ray?- Well, hopefully.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I know probably most of them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The one I'm going to go for is the actor who was in Withnail and I
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- and that is Richard E Grant. - Richard E Grant, says Ray.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Absolutely right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:0615.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Good job, Ray.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Great start, Ray. That puts pressure on your boss to do even better.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That E stands for Esterhuysen.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Does it?- Yeah, born in Mbabane in Swaziland.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- Sam.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Tell us what happened last time.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Well, basically, neither me
0:05:26 > 0:05:29nor Malcolm had ever read The Chronicles of Narnia,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31never seen the films, anything,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34so as soon as the question came up, we knew it was almost game over.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yeah, that was a tough round if you don't know those.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Do you call your dad Malcolm, generally?- No. I call him Dad.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I see, just for the sake of clarity?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43It doesn't say Dad on the name badge.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I'm going to call you Dad from now on, Malcolm. Just to balance it out.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Thanks.- What do you think of these Richards here?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Only one of them really sticks out at me.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00And that's the President of the United States, '69 to '74.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- So I'm going to go with Richard Nixon.- Richard Nixon, says Sam.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Absolutely right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:1351.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- 51 for Nixon.- Yeah, Nixon also being a senator and a vice president,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and famously had to resign as president in 1974.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Great name, though.- Oh, it's a great name, Nixon...- Richard.- Ah, yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Now then, John. We had you on the show last time as well.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36This is your second chance. Remind us what happened to you.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39We were undone by Radio 4.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, you were the lowest scorers in our first round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Admittedly, it was about Scottish football, but...
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Yeah.- Yes, you decided Mornington Crescent was actually a show.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Well, I had nothing better to say, so I decided to give it a go.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Well, John, what about this one? What about our famous Richards?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I think the actor who played Victor Meldrew is Richard Wilson.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Richard Wilson says John. Let see if that's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Does Richard Wilson play Victor Meldrew? How many people said it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Absolutely right. 51 our highest score, 15 our low.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh, pretty much the midpoint.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15APPLAUSE
0:07:17 > 0:07:18- 35, Richard Wilson.- Well done, John.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20He was actually born Ian Carmichael Wilson,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23but changed his name to Richard after in the '50s they had that
0:07:23 > 0:07:27scientific study of what the most awesome first name was and it was Richard.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31So a lot of people changed their name when that came out.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Shaun, welcome to the show.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36What do you like getting up to in your spare time, Shaun?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40In my spare time, I've started a fledgling comedy career.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Oh, have you?- Yes.- How fledgling?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45About 18 months I've been doing stand-up,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47but in the last six months,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- I've actually changed it to do comedy ventriloquism.- Wow.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Do you have a double act?- Yes. I have a little puppet.- That's fine.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- It's not Rachel, though. - Not Rachel, no.- My hands are here.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Now, Shaun, you didn't need to say that.- Sorry.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04LAUGHTER
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Space.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10How good is your ventriloquism? Go on, say something with your mouth closed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Well, what I like to do is I like to trick people
0:08:12 > 0:08:14cos I start off by talking by moving my lips
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and then I just stop and just carry on and it really freaks people out.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, yeah, that does.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21That's good.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Very good. Good stuff. - Have you got a puppet with you?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I haven't got him with me, no. He's at home.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Can you get knocked out and bring him on next show?- Possibly, yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- That would be amazing.- Do I have to replace Rachel, or do I...?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- No, so long as you don't confer, all three of you can come on.- Thank you.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What's the puppet called?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43He's actually called The Real Shaun Jakes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Ah, very good. VERY good.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, these are the clues, who are these Richards?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53The comedian who co-starred with Gene Wilder is
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Richard Pryor, I think.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The leading actor who appeared in Pretty Woman is Richard Gere.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02But I'm going to go with author of The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Richard Dawkins says Shaun, the author of The God delusion. Let's see
0:09:05 > 0:09:08if that's right, and let's see how many people said Richard Dawkins.
0:09:17 > 0:09:197.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Best score of the round, Shaun. 7 for Richard Dawkins.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well played, Shaun. He sold more than two million copies
0:09:26 > 0:09:27of that book worldwide, Richard Dawkins.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You were right about the other ones you went for.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The leading actor was Richard Gere.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35He would have scored you 64 points so it was well avoided.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It WAS the brilliant Richard Pryor, who appeared with Gene Wilder.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Again, would have scored you more points, 20.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- And the composer of Ride Of The Valkyries?- Richard Wagner.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Richard Wagner, absolutely.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45And that would have scored 25
0:09:45 > 0:09:48so the best answer there is Richard Dawkins, so very well played.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Very well done. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Let's take a look at those scores. Shaun and Rachel looking very strong on 7.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Up to 15, Ray and Stevie. Up to 35, John and Harry.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Sam and Malcolm, the head-to-headers from last time,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04one of our returning pairs, they're on 51.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You're a little bit out in front there. So, Malcolm,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08we need some good Richard work on this next board, OK?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Good luck with that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Can the second pairs, please, take their places at the podium.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18OK, let's put seven more clues on the board and here they are.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Seven more Richards.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58There we are. Seven famous Richards.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Now then, Rachel.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Rachel, what do you like getting up to?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Er, I like walking my dogs and going to the pub.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06How many dogs have you got?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- I've got two.- Good stuff.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Any other animals you have? - Yeah, I've got nine chickens.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Nine? That's a lot of eggs. - And five cats and a hamster.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16And a bit of a tortoise.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- A bit of a tortoise? - We've just bought a school tortoise.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Oh, I see. I was going to say "which bit?"- He's a shared tortoise.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25OK, right, a shared tortoise.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What's his name?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Ih...Mo.- Ih-Mo?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31No, Mo, sorry.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34He's called Mo after Mo Farah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Can he do the Mo-bot? It would be hard with those...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38We're teaching him.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- What a trick! - But he hasn't got further than that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I can't see it happening, but still, it may.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Anyway, Rachel, you are on 7,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48lovely low score from Shaun in the last pass.
0:11:48 > 0:11:5151 the high score, so if you want to avoid becoming high scorers,
0:11:51 > 0:11:5443 or less is what you want.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Remember, we are looking for these famous Richards.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58I wish I'd had the last board.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- These Richards not agreeing with you?- I know some of them.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I don't know which one to go for. Erm...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The actor who married Elizabeth Taylor is Richard Burton.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Richard Burton says Rachel.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Here's your red line.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Below that, you are safely through to Round Two. Richard Burton.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20How many people said that?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, it's a big score. 77.
0:12:26 > 0:12:2884, your total.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31That is a big score. Hard to predict, though, sometimes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Yeah, Richard Burton, once the best paid actor in Hollywood.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38OK, thank you very much. Now then, Harry.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Welcome back.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Remind us what you do, Harry.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm an English Literature student
0:12:43 > 0:12:45at Glasgow University.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I guess Losing My Virginity doesn't really come under
0:12:48 > 0:12:51English Literature, nor probably does Love Actually
0:12:51 > 0:12:53or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but nonetheless...
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- But Top Gear!- Yes, highbrow.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I would imagine you probably have a good idea for most of these.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I've got a few guesses
0:13:01 > 0:13:04but, at the same time, I'm not sure what's a good score.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I'm going to go for former Blue Peter presenter
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and current Radio 5 Live radio presenter, and Richard Bacon.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Richard Bacon, says Harry.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, the high scorers are Rachel and Shaun on 84.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19There is your red line.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22If you can get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24How many people said Richard Bacon?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Absolutely right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30You've done it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3327.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35APPLAUSE
0:13:35 > 0:13:3827, taking your total up to 62. You're through to the next round.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41A perfectly respectable score for Richard Bacon.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43If I was Richard, I'd be quite pleased with that.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- He'll be pleased. - And that's a proper score.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48If you're on that and your name's read out,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50you are thinking, "This is going to go to zero, isn't it?"
0:13:50 > 0:13:53That must be quite depressing. That's good, though.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- He's a very nice fellow, isn't he? - He's a very nice fellow, yeah.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57One of the great Richards.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Every Christmas, we have a Great Richards dinner.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Oh, you have that get-together, don't you?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Oh, we don't see Richard for days after that!- At Wembley.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Cliff Richard plays,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09which is, er, that's the only real downside.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11LAUGHTER
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Now then, Malcolm.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Yes.- Richards, Malcolm.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think I'll go for the, the...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23guy who starred in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and I believe that was Richard Dreyfuss.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Richard Dreyfuss says Malcolm.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, the high scorers,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Rachel and Shaun on 84. They're not that far ahead of you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:3532 is your margin. There's your red line,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38if you get below that, you're in the next round.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41How many people said Richard Dreyfuss?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Well, it's right.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh, you've done it, well done.
0:14:50 > 0:14:5121.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53APPLAUSE
0:14:54 > 0:14:5721 takes your total up to 72.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Well done, Malcolm/Dad.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01He's also famously in Jaws, of course,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and won an Oscar for his role in The Goodbye Girl.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Stevie.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- How are you doing, Stevie? - I'm fine.- Stevie the boss.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Erm, I like to do a bit of socialising.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Taking a wee bit of interest in local beers and wines, spirits.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Oh, this is very good, yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I like eating, as you can probably tell.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- My wife's actually a chef. - Oh, perfect.- I love food.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33What's your favourite of her things?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35My favourite that she makes is
0:15:35 > 0:15:38straightforward spaghetti bolognese,
0:15:38 > 0:15:39but she makes it like nobody else.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41What is it she puts in there?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Don't know, but something totally different to what I put in it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- You put a fork in it.- For me, as long as it's got garlic it's fine.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Anyway, Stevie. Richards.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52There are some gaps left on the board.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think you probably know a few of these.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57If you want me to talk my way through the board,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59that'd be a really good trick.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I know a couple.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The one I would have went for is gone, Richard Dreyfuss.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'll go for Richard Madeley, TV presenter married to Judy Finnigan.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Richard Madeley at the bottom there, married to Judy Finnigan.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Let's see if Richard Madeley is right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17You're on 15, the highest scorers on 84 are Shaun and Rachel.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You need to be scoring 68 or less, there's your red line.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22How many people said Richard Madeley?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Well, it's right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27And you're through. Very well done, Stevie.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh, 56.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30A popular one, that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Takes your total up to 71.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well done, Stevie. It's a big score. 56 for Richard Madeley.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39All the remaining answers would have seen you through.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Erm, the businessman whose autobiography is
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Losing My Virginity is...?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Branson. - Richard Branson, absolutely.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- It's quite a low scorer, though, 19 points. The TV presenter?- Hammond.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Richard Hammond, yeah, would have scored 37.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Now this is the best answer on the board by some way,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56the director and writer of Love Actually?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- Curtis.- Richard Curtis, yeah,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59but would have only scored eight points.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Would have been a terrific answer.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well done if you got all 14 of those Richards.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's just going to make Bacon feel even better.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Look at that.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09He is essentially three and three eighths times
0:17:09 > 0:17:11more famous than Richard Curtis.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13And Richard Branson, and Richard Dreyfuss!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And Richard Dreyfuss has got an Oscar!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Where's Bacon's Oscar?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24So at the end of our first round, the pair who'll be leaving us
0:17:24 > 0:17:26with their high score of 84, not that high a score,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28it's Rachel and Shaun.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Very popular round, this, lots of low scores.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32No 100s, no incorrect answers.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It was just Richard Burton that did for you, Rachel.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Picked the wrong Richard.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I remembered Richard Branson about five seconds after I said it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42We have to say goodbye to you now, but we will see you next time
0:17:42 > 0:17:44and we'll look forward to that very much.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- And maybe the Real Shaun can put in an appearance as well?- Maybe.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Anyway, we'll look forward to that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Rachel and Shaun, thanks so much for playing.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Sadly, at the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to
0:18:04 > 0:18:07another pair. Hard to say which pair that's going to be.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Only ten points between you all in that round.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16Stevie and Ray, our newcomers, you made very easy work of that round.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18How are you feeling?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Er, slightly less nervous than I was at the start.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You're settled in now...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Settling in.- Good. Well, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's Royalty. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36who's going to go second?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK, the question concerns...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Royal weddings at Westminster Abbey.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Between the year 1000 and 2012,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56there have been 16 royal weddings at Westminster Abbey, 16 royal weddings.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00We'd like you to name any bride or groom from any of those weddings.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Anyone who's been involved in a royal wedding at Westminster Abbey.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Very best of luck.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- What were the dates?- Between 1000...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Right.- We don't say that very often, do we?- No, not often.- And 2012.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And no-one's allowed to say that's before my time.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And this is as verified by the Westminster Abbey website.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22OK, thank you very much. So, then, Ray.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25What is the most obscure royal wedding that took place
0:19:25 > 0:19:28at Westminster Abbey that you can dream up?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I'm afraid this is quite a bad category for me, but erm...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'm going to have to take a stab here, I think,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and go for Sarah Ferguson.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Sarah Ferguson, says Ray. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Let's see how many of our 100 said Sarah Ferguson.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's right.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Nine!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57APPLAUSE
0:19:57 > 0:19:59This is brilliant, Ray.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Nine for Sarah Ferguson. - Well played, Ray.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05She became the Duchess of York in 1986.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Thank you very much. Now then, Malcolm.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Any bride or groom in a royal wedding at Westminster Abbey.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Erm...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19..this is a real stab in the dark.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Er, Prince Philip.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Prince Philip, says Malcolm.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30It is right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:3530.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37APPLAUSE
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- 30.- Yeah, Philip Mountbatten, Prince Philip of Denmark,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Prince Philip of Greece, got married in 1947 in Westminster Abbey.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Now then, John.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Remember, we're looking for any bride or groom
0:20:52 > 0:20:55from a royal wedding at Westminster Abbey.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Are you going to have another stab in the dark, do you think?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Erm, I have absolutely no idea
0:21:00 > 0:21:03what royal weddings have taken place where.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Erm...
0:21:05 > 0:21:10so I'm just going to have to guess at somebody.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, Queen Elizabeth II.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Queen Elizabeth II.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17OK, let's see if that's right,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20let's see how many people said Queen Elizabeth II.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24It's right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:2846.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30APPLAUSE
0:21:32 > 0:21:35That's who Prince Philip got married to!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I was just racking my brains.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Yeah, d'you remember? Lovely day that was.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- Oh, wasn't it?- Oh, bunting!- Yes.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We're halfway through the round.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Let's take a look at the scores. Nine, Ray!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Nine, look at that! Fantastic score.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Stevie, he's put you in a very strong position,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I'd say, for the next pass.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Then up to 30 where we find
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Malcolm and Sam, up to 46 where we find John and Harry,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03so, yes, Harry, that is a high score.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05It would be a shame to lose you at the end of this round.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09You're going to have to find a really obscure bride or groom from a royal wedding.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21OK. So, Harry, now is your moment. How are you feeling about this?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Bit nervous, cos I've got to take a bit of a gamble.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I heard something about you, Harry.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31I heard that you were Scottish Student Journalist of the Year.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- That's true, once upon a time. - That's an amazing achievement.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Are you still involved in journalism?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yeah, just sort of edit my student newspaper and yeah,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42did a bit of work at the Olympics.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- You cover sporting events, do you? - Yeah, sport's my main interest.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I see, so not so much royal weddings?- It's not my speciality.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Not so much royal weddings from history.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Yeah, erm...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56..I'm going to take a gamble on Prince Albert,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58who I think married Queen Victoria.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Prince Albert says Harry.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02No red line for you, you are the highest scorers.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05But let's see how many people said Prince Albert.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Oh!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Bad luck, Harry. You were doing the right thing there,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15trying to find a nice obscure one, but I'm afraid it was too obscure,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and actually, in the event, incorrect. Scores you 100 points,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21takes your total up to an unbeatable 146.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Sorry, Harry, they got married at the Chapel Royal
0:23:23 > 0:23:25in St James' Palace, I'm afraid.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Sam.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Yes.- Sam, you're in the head-to-head again.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33This is great news.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37How are you feeling about brides or grooms from royal weddings?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Erm, I can't say I know too much about the monarchy, erm,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44but I've got an answer that should leave my options open.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47OK. Well, your options, I'd say, are pretty much open guaranteed.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Even if you get this wrong, you're still in the head-to-head, Sam.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- OK.- It's all good.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I'm going to say, because he had a few of them, Henry VIII.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Henry VIII, yes, good,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04nice broad choice there. Henry VIII, says Sam.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Henry VIII.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09No red line for you, you're already through.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14It's incorrect, but it doesn't matter.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15You're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17That scores you 100 points, takes you up to 130,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but you're through.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yeah, he had two in Hampton Court Palace and the others were in Vegas.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25LAUGHTER
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Thanks, Richard. Stevie!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You are in the head-to-head.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Good.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40We're looking for any bride or groom who got
0:24:40 > 0:24:41married at Westminster Abbey.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44How d'you feel about this question?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I was going to have a stab at maybe getting a pointless one
0:24:47 > 0:24:52but the last answer scuppered that because she married Henry VIII.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58So, I will have to plump for another stab in the dark, erm,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Sophie, Countess of Wessex.- Sophie, Countess of Wessex, says Stevie.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Let's see if that's right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07No red line, you're already through.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Let's just see how many people said Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh! Bad luck.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Another incorrect answer, scores you 100 points, takes your total to 109.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Doesn't matter. You're in the head-to-head.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That's a proper high scoring round, isn't it? Very impressive.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Yeah, they got married at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Erm, let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33In 1919, Alexander Ramsay married Princess Patricia.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Don't get many Princess Patricias any more, do you?- Not so many.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38She was a pointless answer as well.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Angus Ogilvy married Princess Alexandra,
0:25:40 > 0:25:41she wasn't a pointless answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Gilbert, the Earl of Gloucester, of course,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47in 1290, married Joan of Acre.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- She was a pointless answer. - What a wedding.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Wasn't it? We had a day off, didn't we?- That was brilliant.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Aww, all that mead!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Ooh!- Ooh! Blimey.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57No wonder they called it the Dark Ages.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Henry Lascelles, he married Princess Mary in 1922,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03she was pointless as well.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05John II, he married Margaret of England, well,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Margaret Plantagenet, she was also pointless.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Prince George, Prince George married Princess Marina,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13she was also pointless, so we've seen these last three.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Princess Marina, Princess Mary and Princess Patricia.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well done if you said any of those.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's take a look at the highest scoring answers.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Funnily enough, the Queen was only third, Queen Elizabeth II,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26she would have got you 46. D'you know who the top two would be?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Er, Duke of Cambridge
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- and er...- To give them their official titles, yeah,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33in second place it was Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36would have scored 49, and Prince William, up the top on 59.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Marvellous. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40So, at the end of Round Two,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43our losing pair with their high score of 146, it's Harry and John.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I'm so sorry. But you were doing the right thing there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50You were trying to find a good, obscure answer. Ah, bad luck!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53And I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye, Harry and John.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's been great having you on both shows,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57but we've come to the end of the road.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Thanks for playing, Harry and John. Great contestants.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02APPLAUSE
0:27:02 > 0:27:05For the remaining two pairs, they're getting closer to the final
0:27:05 > 0:27:06and the chance of taking that jackpot,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, congratulations, Ray and Stevie, Malcolm and Sam,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18you are now only one round away from the final,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £18,000.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Now, only one pair can play for that money,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30so we need to decide which pair it's going to be.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32To do that, we're going to make you go head-to-head.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34The difference is you are now allowed to confer,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41So, Malcolm and Sam, you were our lowest-scoring pair last time.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You are standing where Ray and Stevie are now.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- We are.- How do we feel about this?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Well, I think the extra little bit of time that we get
0:27:49 > 0:27:53to think about the answers could prove beneficial.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Oh, it could. Yes, it can sometimes work like that. It can.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Ray and Stevie, congratulations. Here you are.- Thank you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00The dizzy heights of the head-to-head
0:28:00 > 0:28:03on your first Pointless appearance. Very impressive.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:14OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Sporting Captains.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Sporting Captains. Richard?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20We're going to show you five captains of sports teams now.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23All you have to do is tell us which sport they represent.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Very, very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Let's reveal our five sporting captains. And here they come.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We have got...
0:28:50 > 0:28:52So there we are. Five sporting captains.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We want to know what sports they represent.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Now then, Ray and Stevie, you've played best so far,
0:28:57 > 0:28:58so you get to go first.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02What do you think?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04THEY WHISPER
0:29:08 > 0:29:10We know four of them,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12but we're going to go for A,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- and that is curling. - A - curling.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18A - curling, say Ray and Stevie.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Now then, Malcolm and Sam, the board is yours.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Now, A was...
0:29:23 > 0:29:26A was our first choice, I think.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30But, erm, I think...
0:29:30 > 0:29:34THEY WHISPER
0:29:34 > 0:29:37OK, we're going to go with E, and golf.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39E - golf.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42So we have A - curling, E - golf.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Ray and Stevie have gone curling - A. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Absolutely right.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Oh, that's a great answer. Look at that.
0:29:56 > 0:29:5818 for curling. Very well done.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02APPLAUSE
0:30:02 > 0:30:05And Malcolm and Sam have said that E - golf. E is golf.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said golf.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13It's absolutely right.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Ooh, it's getting close!
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Look at that! Ooh, 21!
0:30:18 > 0:30:21APPLAUSE
0:30:21 > 0:30:2621 for golf. But Ray and Stevie, just got that one.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29So after one question, you are up, 1-0.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Two good answers there.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31That's Eve Muirhead there,
0:30:31 > 0:30:37the skipper of the GB women's curling team at the 2010 Olympics.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Now, B is Charlotte Edwards, the captain of the England cricket team.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45She would have scored you five points.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47A very good answer. Best answer there, actually.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51C is Martin Johnson, used to be the England rugby captain, of course.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52He would've scored you 43.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59D is Casey Stoney, who is the captain of the England football team.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01The England women's football team.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02Would have scored you 7 points.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And there is Jose Maria Olazabal,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07who captained the European Ryder Cup team to victory in 2012.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Very good. Now, Malcolm, did you know any of those?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- I knew them once they'd come up. - Yeah, I do that as well!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- It's quite good, that! - OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Malcolm and Sam, you need this one to get back in the game.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20And it concerns...
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore. Richard?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28We're going to give you five clues to facts about Mount Rushmore.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- What's the most obscure answer you can find?- Thanks very much.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34And here they are. We have got...
0:31:47 > 0:31:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02There we are. Five clues to facts about Mount Rushmore.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Malcolm and Sam, you go first.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09The only one I'm 100% sure of is the first one,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13so I think there are four presidents depicted on the memorial.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16OK, four presidents, say Malcolm and Sam.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Ray and Stevie?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Erm, we're not really sure of the other ones, actually.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I think the state might be Arizona.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29But the one we're going to go for is...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33..the first president depicted on it,
0:32:33 > 0:32:34which is George Washington.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36George Washington, say Ray and Stevie.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39The first president depicted on Mount Rushmore.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42OK, Malcolm and Sam have said there are four presidents.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said four.
0:32:52 > 0:32:5338.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55APPLAUSE
0:32:57 > 0:33:0138. Ray and Stevie have said George Washington is the first,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03chronologically, of the presidents depicted.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12It's right. If you go lower than 38, you go through to the final.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Yes, you've done it!
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- APPLAUSE - Very well done. 17.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Very impressive.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24All of which means, Ray and Stevie, after only two questions,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Well played, Ray and Stevie. Yeah, four presidents.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35It's an extraordinary piece of work, Mount Rushmore.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39450,000 tonnes of rock were blasted out of that rock face.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42They were originally supposed to be shown from the waist up,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45but they ran out of money after they'd done the heads,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47so it's just the heads. There you go.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50The century in which it was created,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53well, it was started in 1927.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56So the 20th century. It took 14 years, by and large, to create.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59That would've scored 23 points.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It's in South Dakota, not Arizona.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03South Dakota would've scored 14 points.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06And the artist who designed it is Gutzon Borglum.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08He was a Danish American.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Gutzon Borglum would have scored you 3 points.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Three people knew that?!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Yeah, three people knew Gutzon Borglum.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Yeah, he's obviously got relatives in the country!
0:34:17 > 0:34:21But his son, Lincoln Borglum took over when he passed away.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26So our losing pair in the head-to-head, I'm afraid,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Malcolm and Sam, it's you, for the second time.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30The head-to-head has headed you off!
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's been a great performance in both shows.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36A really solid performance from each of you. Some great answers there.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39And really, really close as well in this head-to-head.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41But we have to say goodbye.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Malcolm and Sam, thanks so much for playing.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:45 > 0:34:49But for Ray and Stevie, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51APPLAUSE
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Well, congratulations, Ray and Stevie.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You've seen off the competition
0:34:57 > 0:34:59and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £18,000.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13APPLAUSE
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Well, I have to say, that's about as exemplary a performance
0:35:18 > 0:35:21on Pointless as I've seen. You've made very easy work of that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Straight through, your first appearance on the show,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and a 2-0 victory in the head-to-head.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28How are you feeling now?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Yeah, good. Pleased to be here. - Pretty good.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33OK, well, very, very best of luck, guys. The rules are very simple.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Do that, and you'll go home with £18,000.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Firstly, you've got to choose a category,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and here are your five options. They are...
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Boxing, Playwrights, Albums,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48US Politics, Katie Price.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52LAUGHTER
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- I don't want to do Playwrights. - No, definitely not Playwrights.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Definitely not Katie Price. Albums?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Albums, it's going to be albums by somebody...
0:36:01 > 0:36:02It's potluck, really.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06What do you want, potluck with Albums, or potluck with Boxing?
0:36:06 > 0:36:07- Albums.- OK.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Albums, it is.- He's the boss!
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Albums, it is.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11It's Ray's team, Ray's rules.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:17 > 0:36:21acts who had a UK number one album in the Noughties as they could.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Phew! Richard?
0:36:23 > 0:36:24This is really gettable, guys.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27We're looking for any act that had a number one album
0:36:27 > 0:36:30between January 2000 and December 2009 in the UK charts.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Very, very best of luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38All you need to win that £18,000
0:36:38 > 0:36:42is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- OK, are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Your time starts now.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52People like Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54they were all recent,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57and they've all been mega, so definitely one of those.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Tinie Tempah, we'll go for.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Go for the two of them if you want,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02and we'll go for something a wee bit older.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Right. About 2000?- Thingy, erm...
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- We're stuck. - No, no, no, not stuck!
0:37:09 > 0:37:12It's on the tip of my tongue.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Get it out then!
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Robbie Williams, what's his group?- Take That.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Take That, they brought one back, didn't they?- That's right.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19They had a huge hit with it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22That would definitely be a number one but it's probably not pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Will it be, though?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Because a lot of people think Take That was before that.- Well, OK.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I'm trying to think of someone else.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30We've got 20 seconds yet.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal...erm...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Kasabian.- That's a good one.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- 10 seconds left.- Biffy Clyro?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Somebody like that?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45We'll go with those three.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- OK.- That'll do us.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50OK, time is up.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51We're looking for any act who's had
0:37:51 > 0:37:53a UK number one album in the Noughties.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I now need your three answers.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Right, Tinie Tempah.- Tinie Tempah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Erm, Biffy Clyro.- Biffy Clyro.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06LAUGHTER
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Yeah, I know Biffy(!) Come on! Yeah!
0:38:10 > 0:38:13We'll go with Professor Green.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Professor Green.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Of those three,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Professor Green?- No, Biffy Clyro.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Biffy Clyro? Good, good option.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Nobody's ever heard of it.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- It's a band!- Right!
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Let's put Biffy Clyro last on the list.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And who would you like to go first? Which is your least likely?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Tinie Tempah.- Tinie Tempah, OK.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42We have got Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Biffy Clyro.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44So we were looking for acts
0:38:44 > 0:38:46who've had a UK number one album in the Noughties.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Your first answer, Tinie Tempah,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Only one of these has to be pointless
0:38:52 > 0:38:53for you to win that jackpot of £18,000.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57So let's see, Tinie Tempah, is it right, how many people said it?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05OK, not Tinie Tempah.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07An incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11But two very good answers on the board remain.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15One of those, surely, can win you that jackpot of £18,000.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Now then, Ray, what would you do with £18,000?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20With your share of that?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Stick it on the 3:30 at Kempton tomorrow.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:29No, I'd take the family to Disneyland.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Very good. Stevie, how about you?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34I think I would take my wife on a cruise.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Lovely. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40We've got to get rid of this jackpot one of these days.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Today seems like a perfectly good day to do that.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44We're looking for acts who've had
0:39:44 > 0:39:46a UK number one album in the Noughties.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Your next answer, Professor Green, it has to be right,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Let's find out how many people said Professor Green. Is it pointless?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59No!
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Prof hasn't had a UK number one album in the Noughties, I'm afraid.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06So you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Everything is now riding on Biffy Clyro.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10You put this as your last answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13You thought this was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15We're looking for any acts
0:40:15 > 0:40:18that have had a UK number one album in the Noughties. Biffy Clyro.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22If it's right, if it's pointless, you leave here with £18,000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Let's find out how many people said Biffy Clyro.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Oh, no!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- APPLAUSE - Oh, well!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37I'm so sorry, Ray and Stevie.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find any pointless answers there.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Well, you didn't manage to find any correct answers there either,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46which means you don't win today's jackpot of £18,000,
0:40:46 > 0:40:47which rolls over to the next show.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49You've been brilliant contestants.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52And you get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54APPLAUSE
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Oh, guys, I really wanted you to win,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03and it's just about to get a whole lot worse in a number of ways.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09It really is. Tinie Tempah did have a number one album, but it was in 2010.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Biffy Clyro in 2007 had a number two album.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20And you chose Professor Green, I think, replacing Kasabian,
0:41:20 > 0:41:21who had two number one albums,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23and they were a pointless answer.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25AUDIENCE GASPS
0:41:25 > 0:41:26I'm going to make it worse
0:41:26 > 0:41:29by telling you there are so many pointless answers here.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34after we've looked through these boards.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13There's a huge amount of pointless answers and you had one.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Kasabian would have been a brilliant answer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18So gutted. You've been brilliant.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I'm so sorry you're not taking home the money.- It's OK.
