0:00:21 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29the quiz show where questions have been asked to 100 people.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers people couldn't think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi. My name's Ryan from Worthing in Sussex.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- And this is my uncle David...- Hello there.- ..from Westcliff in Essex.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Couple number two. - Hi. I'm Stephanie. I'm from Ealing.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is Jade from Gillingham. We're old school friends.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Couple number three. - Hi. I'm Chris.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57This is my fiancee Emma and we're from Bristol.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- And couple number four. - Hi. I'm Eric.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This is my friend Joe. We work together in Aberdeen.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06These are today's contestants.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Thanks to all of you. We'll be finding out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18There's only one person left to introduce. As well read as a magazine in a doctor's waiting room,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- my Pointless friend, it's Richard. - Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hello. Hi, everyone.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Hello, there.- Hello. How are you? - I'm really well.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- The jackpot keeps going up. - It's scary.- A record jackpot. We can't get rid of it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40A lot of money at stake for anyone who wants to take hold of it today.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Jade and Stephanie are back. They got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47They got a darts question to get there. They've something about them.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49But Eric and Joe, we saw far less of.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Thank you. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Our contestants must find obscure answers the 100 people didn't get.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Everyone wants a pointless answer, which none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Matt and Graham didn't win the jackpot.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13We add another £1,000 to that. Today's jackpot starts on £22,500.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right! If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but no conferring.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The pair with the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Try and make sure that's not you.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40STEPHANIE SIGHS
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Stephanie, what's wrong? - I hate the words round.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- You don't know what it is yet. - It's probably awful.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51Let's just wait and see. Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:03:03 > 0:03:08as many words ending in LK as they could.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Words ending in LK. Richard.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14We're looking for any word in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends LK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18As always, no proper nouns and no hyphenated words.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22There's about 50 words in the Oxford Dictionary of English that end LK.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- There's a fair few pointless ones. Good luck at home.- Thanks very much.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28David, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Thank you for wearing a tie.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Thank you very much. - Have people worn ties before?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38We've had ties, cravats, it doesn't happen often.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- What do you do, David? - I'm an occupational therapist. I drive around in my little car.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I can get stairlifts for people who need them and ramps. That kind of thing.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Very good. You live where? Where are you from?- Westcliff-on-Sea.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53What do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58A very long time ago when I was a young man, 1996, I was Mr England.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- So I spent... - Just stop right there, David.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- You were Mr England?- Yes, I spent ten days in Ireland at the International Bachelor Festival.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11They put the name of my country on the car. I had a female chauffeur.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We were driven everywhere doing work sort of like Miss World.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Smiling and waving. We had to do talent.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19There was no swimsuit, thank goodness.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- There was an eveningwear round. It was nice.- And you won Mr England?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I was Mr England. In the international competition, I wasn't the winner.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Was this just within the United Kingdom?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- I was Mr England and then I was at the international but that was as far as it went.- Wow!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38We are looking for words ending in LK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Living near the seaside, I'm going to go for whelk. W-H-E-L-K.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Whelk. And you're going to spell it as well. Whelk. OK.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Let's see if whelk is right. Let's see how many people said whelk.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Absolutely right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:0014.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:04There we are. 14 for whelk.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Well played. Useful seaside knowledge. A marine mollusc.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- A whelk. - Mmm. Mmm.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Mmm.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Now then, Jade, welcome back to the show.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Head-to-headers you were last time. - I know.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Oh, you could almost smell the jackpot from there, couldn't you?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We're looking for words ending in LK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Nice obscure one.- There's a couple I know. One is a bit safer.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Stephanie and I said we would go pointless or go home.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Hopefully, it will be the former. I'm going to go with caulk.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think it's C-A-U-L-K.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48C-A-U-L-K. Caulk says Jade. C-A-U-L-K. Sounds good to me.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Let' see if it's right and how many people said it. Caulk.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It's a great answer, Jade.
0:05:55 > 0:05:5914 our best score so far. Our only score so far.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Caulk smashes through that. 9 it goes down to.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Very well done indeed.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06APPLAUSE
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Good work, Jade. - Caulk.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Good answer. I like it when they go obscure early. Everyone has to raise their game.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's a sealant, a filler. Caulk, a waterproof thing used by builders.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Chris, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. Where are you from?- Bristol.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- What do you do there? - I'm a civil servant.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- Can I probe any further?- I'm not allowed to say any more.- Oh, right!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- What are your hobbies?- I'm absolutely mad about VW camper vans.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Absolutely love them. Obsessed would be an understatement.- Wow!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42A long-suffering look on Emma's face.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes, this is true.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48What sort of form does this obsession take, Chris?
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Magazines, 35 of the T-shirts I own have camper vans on.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56We go to the shows. You name it, I'm into it.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So it's camper-van merch.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Have you got a camper van?- No. They're way out of my price range.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Are they really? I suppose they've become collector's items.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- 30 grand for one I'd be happy with. - That's a lot.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Got to get married first apparently. - Nice use of the word "apparently".
0:07:14 > 0:07:15LAUGHTER
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Win the jackpot and you're most of the way there.- Nearly.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20If Emma would allow you to buy a camper van.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- A bit... - Yeah, um.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29There we are. We are just one very well chosen... Two very well chosen words ending in LK
0:07:29 > 0:07:31away from you getting to the next round.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I'm struggling. My mind's escaped me. I'm going to go with sulk.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Sulk, says Chris. Sulk. Let's see if sulk's right and how many people said it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:499 and 14 we've had so far. 29 for sulk.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51APPLAUSE
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Pretty good answer. A safe one. 29 might be a big score in this round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Do you need me to define sulk? - No.- No.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Eric, welcome back.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Hey.- Welcome back. You're on the same podium as last time.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14- Remind us what you do. - I'm a drilling engineer for an offshore oil and gas company.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15What do you do in your spare time?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I attempt to play golf but recently it's not gone so well.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Does anyone ever play any golf on the rigs?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26They could have a range on the rig, it would be quite good fun.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31It's not their scene. Maybe watching too much Armageddon recently.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Oh, right. Anyway, Eric, we're looking for words ending in LK.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39I'm torn between going overly risky or playing it safe.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43But I hope Joe has a really good answer, so I'll go bulk.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Bulk. Bulk is your safe option. OK.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Let's see if bulk is right and how many people said bulk.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Absolutely right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:5829 our highest score so far.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Ooh! 38 for bulk.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01APPLAUSE
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yes, suitably bulky score for bulk.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Need me to define bulk? - Oh, go on, for fun. Go on.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Bulk. It's a mass of something large. - There you are.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I knew you could do it. Halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:09:18 > 0:09:209 very much the best score of that part.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Jade, very well done indeed. Up to 14 David and Ryan.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Up to 29 where Chris and Emma are.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And 38, Eric and Joe quite far out in front.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Eric was hoping you had a good answer, Joe. I'm hoping so too
0:09:32 > 0:09:36because you're going to need one. You are well out in front.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OK. Remember, we are looking for words ending in LK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Words ending in LK.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Joe, you are also a drilling engineer.- That's correct.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You said last time you were a rower.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Yeah, I am.- I don't imagine you do any offshore rowing.- No.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58That would be quite vomit inducing. When I'm back.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Bit of time off, got plenty of time to train.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- A good bit of exercise. - Very good.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10- What sort of rowing do you do? - Not the same standard as the Olympics but that sort of thing.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Are you in a four? Are you quad sculls?- A bit of everything.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17There's four or five guys in the squad and we'll do fours,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- singles, whatever it takes really. - Good stuff.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23A word ending in LK. A low-scoring one to keep you in the game.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Yeah.- We can't see you leaving at the end of the first round again.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29No. Well, I'm going to have a bit of a gamble and go for it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- The word I'd like to have is baulk. B-A-U-L-K.- B-A?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Like baulk end in a game of snooker perhaps.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39B-A-U-L-K. Baulk, says Joe. Baulk.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41No red line as you are the high scorers.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Let's see how many people said baulk.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48It's right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5325.
0:10:56 > 0:10:5825. Joe, a bit disappointed with that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You hoped that would go down further.
0:11:00 > 0:11:0263 is your total. Richard.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08It's a big score for baulk. It's got two meanings. Hesitating when you're unwilling to do something.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14I wonder if the fact that the baulk end of a snooker table is well known and that's why it scored 25 points
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Yeah, maybe.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Now then, Emma, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- What do you do?- I work for the probation service in a prison. - Very good indeed.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25In your spare time, what are your hobbies?
0:11:25 > 0:11:31Chris probably won't want me to tell you but we both play bingo quite regularly.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32LAUGHTER
0:11:32 > 0:11:35What's the best thing you've ever won playing bingo?
0:11:35 > 0:11:41I did win £100 once but that's over many, many occasions.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I once won some salad cream.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yep.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Good times. Um...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The high scorers are Joe and Eric on 63. You're on 29.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- 33 or less sees you through to the next round.- OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Forget that. I only have two in mind and Joe said one of them.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02It makes my decision easier. And I will say bilk.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Bilk. Bilk, says Emma. There is your red line.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Let's see how many people said Bilk. Let's see if it's right.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Absolutely right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21You are through to round two. It's still going down. Look at that. 3.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Only the best score of the round, Emma, very well done. Takes your total to 32.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Bilk.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34Well played. Word used in association with con men. Obtaining money or withholding money from them.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- To bilk someone. - There we are.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Now then, Stephanie. Welcome. - I hate the word round.- Welcome back.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Really?- Really.- You've heard some really good words now. You've had some good ideas.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- A few avenues you could go down. - Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And Jane's set you up well. Look, 9. 9 plays 63.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Come on. - OK.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Um...
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Backtalk. I'm not 100% sure it's all one word. So...
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- But we did say go for it or might as well go home. Backtalk.- Backtalk. - Yeah. Can't change it now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Backtalk, says Stephanie. Backtalk.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13You need to score 53 or less with backtalk. There is your red line.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Let's see how many people said backtalk. Is it right?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Oh, no!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Bad luck. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's not going pointless is all I'm going to say.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Takes your total to 109. Richard.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Sorry. Back talk is two words. You can have backchat but not back talk.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I suspect Jade will be having a talk to you on the way home this evening.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43LAUGHTER
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Thank you very much. Now then,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Ryan, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- I work for a pharmaceutical company that treats allergies.- Very good.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00- All kinds of allergies?- Specific. - Hay fever?- Pollens, pet hairs.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- Things like that. Mites. - What do you do in your spare time?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I've got a season ticket for football. I like to go and watch.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- What's your team? - Chelsea.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Don't hold it against me. - I... I... I won't.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19OK, so football's a big part of your life. How about words ending in LK?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Um...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Luckily, the wrong answer means I can play it safe.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27So I'm going to says stalk.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Stalk. OK. Stalk.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Stephanie and Jade are the high scorers on 109.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You're on 14. 94 or less gets you into the next round.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41There's your red line. Let's see if stalk is right and how many of our 100 people said stalk.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yep, very well done. You go through.
0:14:51 > 0:14:5322.
0:14:55 > 0:14:5822 takes your total up to 36.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00All you had to do. Well played.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04There's a few pointless answers. Let's take a look. Do you want a guess?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- It hasn't been a very productive round for me this one.- Really?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- The one I've been thinking of...- You like to put words on other words.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Like back talk. That's the sort of thing that often works.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Pillowtalk was...- Two words. - Yeah, it's two words.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Embulk, is that a word? - Embulk?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- You're saying embulk? - It's not a word. I made it up.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- I'm checking you're going with embulk.- It could be. - To embulk.- To embulk.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Could you use it in a sentence for me?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30LAUGHTER
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Yeah. We're trying to embulk him so he can, er...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Win Mr England. - Yeah, so he can win Mr England.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39LAUGHTER
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer. - Yeah.- Sorry.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Let's take a look at some of the answers.- Fisherfolk.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Are you genuinely giving me fisherfolk as an answer? - Yes.- Use that in a sentence.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54The pub was full of sailors and fisherfolk
0:15:54 > 0:15:56from the environs.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Sea shanties from dawn 'til dusk.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Are you done? - Yep.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Fisherfolk was a pointless answer. - Yes!- Well done.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06APPLAUSE
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Well done.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Quite a few of those folk words were pointless answers. Let's look at
0:16:12 > 0:16:17the pointless answers. Crosstalk not "back talk" would have got you the points.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Duckwalk, which Chuck Berry used to do. There's fisherfolk.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- There you go.- Well done. That was your third answer, you're out.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- I know.- Jaywalk would have been a pointless answer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Kinsfolk. Outwalk.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Spacewalk. Townsfolk. Womenfolk.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Also pointless answers. Er, gentlefolk was a pointless answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Rather a nice one. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Thanks, Richard. At the end of the round,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45the pair who will leave us with their high score of 109,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47it's our lovely returners Stephanie and Jade.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- She did say she hated the words round.- I did. - She did. I'll give her that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- I would have scored 100 as well.- You would have scored 200.- So I would.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02You're right. 200. Yes, no shame in that. Stephanie, Jade, it's been great having you on both shows.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Sorry we have to say goodbye. Thanks for playing.- Thank you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08APPLAUSE
0:17:08 > 0:17:11For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Sadly, at the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24All three pairs in front of me have not made it to Round Two before.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29Two are newcomers to the game and Joe and Eric went out in Round One last time. How are you feeling?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Ecstatic. - Yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34You were the high scorers at one point.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Yeah, I think he definitely bailed us out more than ever.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, you're here, that's the main thing.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Films. Decide who's going first and who's going to go second.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59OK. And the question concerns
0:17:59 > 0:18:02films and their cities.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Films and their cities, Richard. - Nice simple one.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09We're going to show you six films, you need to tell us in which city
0:18:09 > 0:18:11are they principally set, please.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15An obscure answer will score fewer points. An incorrect answer is 100 points.
0:18:15 > 0:18:1712 to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Thanks. We're looking for the cities in which these films are set. Here's our first board.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'll read those one last time.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44There we are. Six films.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46We want the cities in which they're set.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Ryan, is film a good category for you?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Er, yeah. Just not these ones.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Yeah.- Um, I'm going to have to just go with the obvious one,
0:18:56 > 0:19:01which I'm 99% sure is correct. That's The Full Monty and Sheffield.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06The Full Monty, Sheffield, says Ryan. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Sheffield.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Absolutely right.
0:19:12 > 0:19:1446.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- 46 for Sheffield. - Better safe than sorry, Ryan.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Very big film in America but they had to have special glossaries of English language.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- On screen? Or were they given it? - It was handed out at the cinema.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Now then, Chris.- Real struggle. Ryan nicked the answer I was going to go for.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I feel like I should know Slumdog Millionaire.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45The only one I can go for and know is right is Mary Poppins in London.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Mary Poppins and London. There we are. Mary Poppins, London, says Chris.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Let's see if it's right and how many people knew the answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Absolutely right.
0:19:57 > 0:19:5959.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0259 for London, Mary Poppins.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well done, Chris. Winner of five Oscars,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07including best actress for Julie Andrews.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09And shot entirely in California.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I know that's not surprising as it's shot in a studio but still.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17They had to fly Dick Van Dyke over from the East End of London to do his part.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Extraordinary.- Must've cost a fortune.- Yeah, must've done.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Now then, Joe. You're the last person to have this board.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Do you watch a lot of films? - No. I really don't. No.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'd have thought on an oil platform, that was a big...
0:20:30 > 0:20:34A lot of guys do. I spend most of my downtime sleeping, eating.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Not a big film buff. - OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Fortunately, I have seen at least one of these.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Home Alone, I was contemplating Chicago but I'm not too sure.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Slumdog Millionaire I'm pretty sure is Mumbai.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47That's the answer I'd like to go for.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Mumbai for Slumdog Millionaire, says Joe.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's absolutely right. 59's our highest score. 46 the low.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02You've gone through both of those. 35. Very well done.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Good answer. Mumbai.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Well done, Joe. Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Joe could have gone with Home Alone. It would've been a terrific answer and scored you 7 points.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Cabaret.- Berlin. - Berlin. Absolutely right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Would have scored 24. And Lantana is an Australian movie.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Anthony LaPaglia is in it and Geoffrey Rush.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's set in Sydney and it's a pointless answer. Well done if you've seen it and said it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Thanks. Halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Joe, the best scorer, 35. Joe and Eric looking fairly strong.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Up to 46, Ryan and David, looking pretty good.
0:21:40 > 0:21:4459 the highest score there, Chris and Emma.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47How good are you on movies? It depends on what the board is.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Yeah, we'll wait and see.- Would you say you're quite confident on film?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53No.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Anything can happen in the next pass. Best of luck, everyone.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Let's put six more films on the board. Here they come. We've got...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17I'll read those all again.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26There we are. Six films, six cities.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30We need to know which cities they are set in predominantly.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Eric, Joe did pretty well there. You're the low scorers.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36How do you feel about this board?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Not as good as the first one. - Do you watch many films?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- Not that many. I do sometimes. - Sure.- Not a lot.- OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48The high scorers are Emma and Chris on 59. A score of 23 or less
0:22:48 > 0:22:51will stop you becoming the new high scorers.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I've not seen any of these films.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58But I think Casino is set in Las Vegas.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Casino, Las Vegas, says Eric. Casino, Las Vegas. Here's your red line.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Let's see if Las Vegas is right and how many said it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Absolutely right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You're through to the next round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:2120. 55 your total. Through you go.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Good work, Eric and Joe.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28- Sailing through to the head-to-head. Sharon Stone's only Oscar nomination.- There we are.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Emma, you remain the high scorers. We need a low-scoring answer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- What do you make of the board? - I prefer the last one.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39There's one I do know but I think it's the most obvious.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Lost In Translation, I can picture scenes from the film,
0:23:42 > 0:23:47or certainly the film I think it is. And I'm going to say Tokyo.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Tokyo, says Emma, for Lost In Translation. Tokyo.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55No red line, you are the high scorers. Let's see how many said Tokyo. Is it right?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It is right.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Down it goes. Not bad at all. Look at that. 9. That's a great answer, Emma.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08APPLAUSE
0:24:08 > 0:24:1268 your total. We have a game on our hands. Very exciting. Well done.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16You might've kept yourself in it. Lost In Translation is right.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- With Bill Murray in it. Great film. - Great film. Fantastic film.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Now then, David. Not quite as easy for you as it might have been.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Emma with as very low score. 68 is the high score. You're on 46.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32So 21 or less is what we need to keep you in the game.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Talk us through the board. Are you big on film?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40There's some I know. Frustratingly, I knew Casino, Las Vegas.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Likewise, I knew Lost In Translation.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Moving down the board, The Commitments.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Niamh Kavanagh was in that and she won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So I'm suspecting that's probably Dublin.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The Big Easy was before my time. I don't know that.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I'm fairly sure that's Paris. That's the name of the club.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05But that's going to be too high. That won't get us under. What number do I need?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- 21.- 21.- You keep talking us through. - OK. Right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14- Everything you're thinking.- We'll go with Dublin for The Commitments.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- Dublin.- Go out in a blaze of glory. Do our best. - I can't fault your reasoning.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Sounds fantastic. 21 is what you need. Here's your red line.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26If you get below you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Dublin, said David, for The Commitments. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36It's absolutely right. Well done. It has to get below that red line.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Oh, no! Bad luck. - Sorry. I couldn't do any more.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Bad luck, David. 29 takes your total to 75.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48It's not a ridiculously high score but it is the highest score.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Sorry, David. Let's look at the rest of the board.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Moulin Rouge. It was Paris.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It would've scored too many points. 82 points.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00The Big Easy. Don't need to see the film, it's the nickname of this city.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- New Orleans.- Right. Would have scored you 8 points.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And Don't Look Now. That's a scary film.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12It's in Venice. Would have scored 14. The Big Easy is the best answer there.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And Don't Look Now is the scariest answer there.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Have you not seen it? - No, I haven't.- Ugh!
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Really?- Yeah, really, yeah. I hate canals, so, yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- That would do it. - Yeah.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Thanks very much. At the end of Round Two, our losing pair with a score of 75 are David and Ryan.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But it was a very, very close round. Very exciting.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35And you kept us on the edge of our seats until the end there, David.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Thank you.- Good answer. Two good answers there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41The Full Monty was a little bit too high.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Never mind. You acquitted yourselves well. We look forward to seeing you next time. David and Ryan.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48APPLAUSE
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The remaining pairs are about to go one step closer to the final
0:26:51 > 0:26:55with a chance of winning the jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Congratulations, Emma and Chris, Eric and Joe.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You're one round away from the final
0:27:05 > 0:27:10and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £22,500.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Only one pair will play for that money.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We have to decide which pair. You're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22The difference is, you're allowed to confer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26The first to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Eric and Joe, our two drilling technicians.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Round One last time. Head-to-head this time.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Very exciting. Emma and Chris. Chris remains a mystery.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- We don't know what he does.- We know nothing about him. Can I ask,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- does Emma know what your job is? - Yes, Emma's allowed to know.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Do you have a Christmas party at your job? - We do have a Christmas party.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- How many people are allowed to come to the party? - Only those who get an invite.- Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Security clearance must be massive for that.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59APPLAUSE
0:28:02 > 0:28:06OK. Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- England cricketers.- We're going to show you five pictures
0:28:11 > 0:28:15of England cricketers all of whom have taken over 200 test wickets.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Can you identify the most obscure of these five?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Let's reveal our five cricketers. We have got...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38There we are. Five England cricketers.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Emma and Chris played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Of the three I know, I think B will be the most obscure.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- You know it? - Um-hmm.- OK.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52We're going to say D is Darren Gough.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Darren Gough. D - Darren Gough.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Eric and Joe. The board is yours, take us through it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01OK. A is Ian Botham.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04B - Steve Harmison. C - Freddie Flintoff.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- E is Matthew Hoggard. - Hoggard, yeah.- Hoggard.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12What's the most obscure? It won't be A or C.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Yeah, let's go.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15E - Matthew Hoggard.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You're going with Hoggard. So we have Gough and Hoggard.
0:29:18 > 0:29:24Darren Gough, say Emma and Chris. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Darren Gough.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36Oh, it's a good answer. Look at that. 16. Very well done. 16 for Darren Gough.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37APPLAUSE
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Eric and Joe are saying E - Matthew Hoggard.
0:29:43 > 0:29:49E - Matthew Hoggard. Let's see if it's right and how many people said that.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Absolutely right.
0:29:53 > 0:29:5516 is what you have to beat, though.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Going to be very close.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59You've done it. Well done. 10.
0:30:00 > 0:30:0410 for Matthew Hoggard. Well done. Eric and Joe, after one question,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07you are up 1-0.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Well played, Erica and Joe. Took us perfectly through the board.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- A is Ian Botham. That haircut will never go out of fashion.- Never.
0:30:14 > 0:30:1663 points he would have scored you.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18B is Steve Harmison.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Slightly better answer. Would've scored 7 points.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Best answer up there.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26And C is Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28He would have scored you 42.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Thanks. Here comes your second question, Emma and Chris.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36You have to win this one to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Picasso.- We'll give you five clues to facts about Picasso.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come. We have got...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I'll read all of those again.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25There we are. Five clues to facts about Picasso.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Eric and Joe, you go first.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I know the country.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32ERIC AND JOE WHISPER
0:31:32 > 0:31:39OK. We think the movement he founded was Cubism.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Cubism, say Eric and Joe. Cubism.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Emma and Chris, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Chance would be a fine thing. - We can't.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50We think his first name is Pablo.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56Um, I had an answer for the movement but it wasn't the same as their answer.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Um, and that's about it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- We can't answer any of the others. Let's go with it.- OK.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05We'll go with his first name. Pablo Picasso.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Pablo Picasso, say Emma and Chris. Pablo Picasso.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Cubism, say Eric and Joe. Cubism.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14If Eric and Joe win this question, they go through to the final.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Cubism, is it right? What was your answer going to be?
0:32:17 > 0:32:22Impressionist. I don't think that's right. But I don't think it's that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24OK.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Let's find out. Eric and Joe said Cubism. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It is right.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37It is right. Still going down. Look at that. Down it goes. 13.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39APPLAUSE
0:32:39 > 0:32:4213 for Cubism, Eric and Joe.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Emma and Chris have said Picasso's first name is Pablo.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Let's see if it's right and how many people said Pablo.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It is right. 13 is what it has to beat, though.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Ooh! It's not going to do that, I'm afraid.
0:32:59 > 0:33:05Very well done, Eric and Joe. After two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10Well played. Pablo is one of those names. Very few famous people called Pablo.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Ask anybody to name famous people called Pablo, they'll say the same two.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Pablo Picasso and disgraced drug lord Pablo Escobar.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- They won't say anything else. Try it out.- I will.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26The country he moved to was France.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29It would have scored you 20 points.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The Basque town. Do you know? One of his most famous paintings.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Guernica. - Ah.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Would have score you 18.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39And the title of his 1906-7 work.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- It's another town. - It's D'Avignon.- D'Avignon.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. That would have scored 4. Best answer.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Well done if you got that. - Thank you very much, Richard. OK. So our losing pair
0:33:49 > 0:33:51is Emma and Chris.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The lowest-scoring pair coming in to the head-to-head.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Not a score at all in the head-to-head.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00There were two good answers from you. Darren Gough.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04I guess you owe that high score to strictly, probably...
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- Not cricket.- And Pablo. Picasso not a great subject for you there.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Not at all.- It means we get to see you again next time.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19If you'd got through to the final, that would have been it. We look forward to that. Thanks for playing.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:24For Eric and Joe, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Congratulations. You fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of the show,
0:34:43 > 0:34:47it stands at a record-breaking £22,500.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:52 > 0:34:55It's our team from Aberdeen. All driller, no filler.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57LAUGHTER
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Well, halfway through Round One, you might have been leaving again.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04But baulk rode to the rescue.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- There it was.- You sailed through Round Two. 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I guess it showed the questions that came up. Good knowledge.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Matthew Hoggard, Cubism, saw you right.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- What would you like to come up in this round?- Maybe sport questions.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- American football. - Geography, maybe.- OK.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26The rules are simple. To win the money, you must find a pointless answer.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Do that and you leave here with £22,500.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You choose a category from five options.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33You can choose from...
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I don't think either of us are playwrights or poetry.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Tennis. - US politics.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I think that's good. I think we could.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50It's all right if it's men's tennis.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I don't know anything about female tennis.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55US politics then?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I'll leave it to you. You can pick.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00LAUGHTER
0:36:00 > 0:36:02We'll go US politics.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04US politics it is.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05LAUGHTER
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- God!- Controversial choice with our audience there.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:12 > 0:36:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many running mates in post-war US presidential elections
0:36:18 > 0:36:20as they could. Richard.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25Any vice-presidential candidates or running mates for the Republicans
0:36:25 > 0:36:28or Democrats in elections since the end of the Second World War, please.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Anyone who's been a running mate to a presidential candidate
0:36:31 > 0:36:36since the Second World War for the Republicans or Democrats. Best of luck, guys.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38You have one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41All you need to win that £22,500
0:36:41 > 0:36:44is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Are you ready? OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Joe Biden. Barack Obama. - Yep.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Sarah Palin. John McCain. - John McCain.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Let's do John McCain. - Ronald Reagan.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Who was the vice president? - Put that in there.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05He's famous. But I know he definitely...
0:37:05 > 0:37:11- I think he got into office. - OK. OK. Ronald Reagan.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Al Gore. But he's really famous. He'll be very popular.- Put it in.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17OK.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- I think Sarah Palin.- Sarah Palin. Ronald Reagan and who else?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- John McCain.- John McCain.- I don't know if any will be pointless.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Well, can you think of anyone else?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I'm struggling.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Al Gore.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- Palin. Who was with Kennedy? - I don't know.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- 10 seconds left. - Jimmy Carter.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and John McCain.- Yeah.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50OK. You've reached your answers. That's your time up.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Running mates in post-war US presidential elections.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I now need your three answers.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Jimmy Carter. - Jimmy Carter.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- Ronald Reagan.- Ronald Reagan. - And John McCain.- And John McCain.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Reagan. - Yeah.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- Put Reagan last. Least likely? - John McCain probably.- Yeah.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16John McCain we'll put first. Jimmy Carter in the middle. OK.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Put them up in that order. And here they are. We have got...
0:38:24 > 0:38:28We're looking for running mates in post-war US presidential elections.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31John McCain was your least confident answer.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Your least likely to be pointless.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £22,500 jackpot.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Let's see how many people said John McCain.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Is it right? Is it pointless?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Oh!
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Bad luck. John McCain an incorrect answer.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Obviously not a pointless answer.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Only two more chances to win today's jackpot of £22,500. Eric,
0:38:59 > 0:39:03if you were to win that, what would you do with £22,500?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- I'm getting married next year. - Congratulations.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- It'd go towards that.- It would go quite a way towards that I'd hope.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Very good. Joe, how about you? - Um...
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I think it'd be a treat to myself. maybe a boat for the rowing club.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22A nice holiday. Treat my girlfriend. Treat myself.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Best of luck. You've got two good-looking answers.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Either of those could be pointless.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33We're looking for running mates in post-war US presidential elections.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Let's hope nobody said Jimmy Carter.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38This has to be right and pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42For £22,500 how many people said Jimmy Carter?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Oh, no! No!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Another incorrect answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's always a bit of a punt this one.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55A lot of people who went on to become president
0:39:55 > 0:39:59served as vice presidents or vice-presidential candidates.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02OK. Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Everything is now resting on your final answer Ronald Reagan.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You were pretty sure, Eric, weren't you, that he ran?
0:40:09 > 0:40:15I think he maybe took over from Nixon maybe.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Don't know.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19You're pretty sure he was a running mate.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- I think so. - It has to be right, obviously.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24It has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:40:24 > 0:40:30Running mates in post-war US presidential elections. Your final answer Ronald Reagan.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33You thought this was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35For £22,500 this has to be pointless.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Let's find out how many people said Ronald Reagan. Is it right?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Oh, no! Bad luck.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45APPLAUSE
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I'm really sorry, guys. Three perfectly plausible-sounding answers.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Sadly three incorrect answers.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00That means you didn't find the pointless answer you needed to win the jackpot of £22,500.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04That rolls over on to the next show. You've been fantastic contestants.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07And you do get to take home our Pointless trophy. All is not lost.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Sorry. All three answers you gave, all ran for president, none ran for vice president.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22John McCain's running mate was Sarah Palin, she scored 9 points.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Reagan's running mate was George Bush senior. He scored 3.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Carter's running mate was Walter Mondale. He was a pointless answer.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Well done if you said Walter Mondale.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Let's look at the other pointless answers.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Bob Dole ran alongside Gerald Ford. They lost to Carter in '76.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44Earl Warren was Thomas Dewey's deputy in 1948. A very obscure one. Well done if you said that.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Henry Lodge who ran alongside Nixon when they lost very narrowly to Kennedy.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Hubert Humphrey was Lyndon Johnson's vice president and his running mate.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Jack Kemp ran alongside Bob Dole when he ran for president.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Joseph Lieberman was a recent one, he ran alongside Al Gore
0:42:01 > 0:42:04when they lost to George Bush very narrowly.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Sargent Shriver ran alongside George McGovern.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12There's Walter Mondale. And William Miller who was Barry Goldwater's running mate.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18A couple of answers people would have got if they know their American politics.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Did you know any of those answers?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- Bob Dole.- Bob Dole. - But I never went for it.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30It's been brilliant having you on the show. Eric and Joe, everyone.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Well, Eric and Joe didn't win our jackpot. Which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:38 > 0:42:42where we will be playing for £23,500.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Join us to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
