0:00:18 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few
0:00:27 > 0:00:30points as you can, and to do that you need to come up with
0:00:30 > 0:00:32the answers that no-one else could think of.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Our first couple.- Hello. I'm Richard. This is my daughter Lucy.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45We're from the Wirral. She's a student and I'm a urologist.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Our second couple.- Hi, I'm Ellen.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is my boyfriend Jonathan and we're both from Hull.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Our third couple. - Hi, my name is Clare.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55This is my good friend Sue and I work as a resuscitation officer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We're both from Woking in Surrey.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- And our final couple.- Hi, I'm Dan. This is my really good mate Ollie
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and we're friends from secondary school.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And these are our contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06APPLAUSE
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Thank you very much, all of you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We'll find out more about all of you as we go through the game.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14There's only one person left to introduce.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18He's been re-elected as the President of Pointless and he's back in office for another term.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22APPLAUSE Hiya.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Afternoon.- Good afternoon. - Four new pairs playing today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32One our contestants today is training to be a Viking.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Guess which one that is. - Training to be a Viking.- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- I know.- You know?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42No. I could take a good guess.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Well, you never know.- I never do.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49All our questions on Pointless have been put
0:01:49 > 0:01:51to 100 people before the show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:01:53 > 0:01:54those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58that's an answer none of our 100 people gave,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:08 > 0:02:09CHEERING
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21In this round I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and there's to be no conferring.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25The pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:25 > 0:02:28will be eliminated, so try and make sure that isn't you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Our first category today is...
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many artists who released...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Good question. - You're already thinking, aren't you?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03On May 7th, 2012, Radio One presented a run down of the 100
0:03:03 > 0:03:05best-selling singles of the 21st century.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We're looking for any artist who had a single on that list, please,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12any artist who's released one of the hundred best-selling singles of the 21st century.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17There's more than 100 on this list because some of were collaborations between different artists.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18If so, we'll except either name.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Very best of luck in the studio, best of luck to everyone at home.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Thanks. Now then, Richard, you're a urologist.- That's right.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Tell me what... I think I have a clue.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- That's basically wee, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33It's your bladder, prostate, kidneys.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35And how's the Viking training going?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- You knew!- No, it's you! Oh, no!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I was just going to ask everyone that until I got the right answer!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Ah, you fell for my trap. I'm wasted in this job.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- You didn't think it was him, did you? - No, I was convinced it was Jonathan.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49No kidding.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52If ever a man looked like a Viking, Jonathan, for heaven's sake.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think he's already been through Viking training.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- What are you learning?- It's the rowing. We're doing the rowing bit.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We've got to bring the boat into harbour in Birkenhead.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Is it an authentic long boat then?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11It's a 30-metre long replica long boat that an eccentric
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Norwegian millionaire has built.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18He's going to be touring it around Europe in a couple of summers' time.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Excellent. OK. Now then, Richard.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24How good are you on the top 100 top-selling singles
0:04:24 > 0:04:27since 2000, do you think?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31It's a tricky one. I'm probably going to go for Beyonce, I think.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Beyonce.- Beyonce Knowles. - Beyonce Knowles says Richard.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Let's see if that's right, and so, let's see how many of our 100 people said Beyonce Knoweles.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41It's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Oh, it's a good answer. Look at that. Down it goes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Oh, seven!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50APPLAUSE
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Very, very well done indeed.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Lucy can't quite believe it, I think.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I just wasn't expecting such a low number.- Very well done indeed.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Beyonce.- Very good answer, Richard.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Good from that first podium, cos it's a tough one.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08She had two songs in the top 100, the top one of which was
0:05:08 > 0:05:10If I Were A Boy at number 80.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Thank you very much. Now then. Ellen.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What do you do, Ellen?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I organise support for disabled students at the University of Hull.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23And what do you like to get up to when you're not doing that?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I'm big into sort of 40s, 50s vintage. I do Lindy Hop dancing.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Do you?- I do. Badly, but I do.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Really hard, Lindy Hop dancing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Is there a big scene up in Hull? - There is.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- There's a really brilliant weekly group.- Indeed. OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I think you're going to be quite good on this.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Have you thought of a good obscure answer for the top 100 selling singles?
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- I hope so. I'm going to try Kanye West.- Kanye West.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53OK, let's see if Kanye West is right,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Kanye West.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Oh, no!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Uh-oh!- I thought that was a really good answer. Kanye West? How come?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Clearly hasn't been selling enough.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Don't know what to say. Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Richard. - I think that's a big surprise.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I felt sure he'd be on the list,
0:06:16 > 0:06:21but 143 was his highest entry with American Boy, him and Estelle.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well. There you go.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, Sue, welcome. How do you two know each other, Sue?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- We met 16 years ago at antenatal classes.- And Sue, what do you do?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'm a stay at home mum. Very good.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36We want any of the artists or groups who released
0:06:36 > 0:06:39the top 100 selling singles since 2000 in the UK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42How good are you on this, do you think?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45If it would've been pre-2000, I would've been more confident.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- 21st century bit's quite hard, isn't it?- Erm...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51But I think I'm OK and I'm going to go for Lady Gaga.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Lady Gaga. Surely. Surely.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Let's see if that's right, and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said Lady Gaga.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01It is right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Seven our best score so far.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Ten for Lady Gaga. Very well done.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09APPLAUSE
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Good answer, Sue. She's got five tracks in that top 100, Lady Gaga,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21the highest ever which was Poker Face at number 14, and also was
0:07:21 > 0:07:25featured on Telephone with Beyonce, which is number 90 on the list.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Thanks, Richard. So, Dan, welcome to the show. Where are you from, Dan?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I'm originally from Poole, but I'm in Birmingham University.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- What are you studying there? - I do physics.- What year are you in?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Second year.- Second year.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Have you worked out what you want to do afterwards?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Just something that just makes me really rich and happy would be...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49There you are. Physics maybe.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Erm... Perfect.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Is there anything on Pointless that would really scare you if it came up?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Um...
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Something girly like flowers maybe.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Or...I don't...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Anything before I was born would be, that wouldn't be too good.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04LAUGHTER
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Oh, what if we had flowers from pre-1970? That would be a nightmare.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The trouble is almost everything is before you were born,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15that's the problem.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18There is that, I mean, literally apart from sport, music,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- film... - They're very young, aren't they?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Yeah, even then almost everything is before.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27We're so old, don't you think?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Yeah.- You're a little bit older than me even, aren't you?- Ah!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm really old.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Now then, Dan.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Dan, I think you're going to be good on this, though,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42this is very much since you were born.
0:08:42 > 0:08:49- That's true.- You were around for all of this time.- I have... Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- You were around and listening to music as well.- I think, er...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55As one of the other teams has got 100 points,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57it takes a bit of the jeopardy off.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- I'm going for MGMT.- MGMT?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK, let's see MGMT is right and if it is,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oooh, bad luck, Dan.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now, two people have got 100, but takes a lot of jeopardy off.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I'm sorry, Dan.- Yes, sorry, Dan.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21This is a subject where every single answer happened
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- when you were born as well. - I've got no excuse, really.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27MGMT, much as I admire them,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I don't think came anywhere close to the top 100.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Big album, but it's no Kanye West of an answer, I'm afraid.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Richard and Lucy, look at that, 7 points.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Looking very, very strong indeed.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Up to 10, where we find Sue and Clare.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45And then, I'm afraid, 100 points where Dan,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Ollie, Ellen and Jonathan are to be found. So, yes, Jonathan and Ollie,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51it's going to be between you in the next pass to see who stays
0:09:51 > 0:09:52and who leaves us. Very best of luck.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02OK, we are looking for artists or groups who released
0:10:02 > 0:10:04the top 100 selling singles since 2000 in the UK.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Now then, Ollie, where are you studying at the moment?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm at Royal Holloway, that's part of the University of London.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm doing music and I'm in my second year.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15What are you wanting to do with that when you leave?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'd quite like to just be able to make a living off being a musician
0:10:18 > 0:10:20and composing and performing and stuff like that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- This is more classical music?- Yeah, more like that.- What do you play?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Violin's my first one and then I just sort of go from there.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I do saxophone, piano, guitar, bass, drums
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and I have a very, very limited ability on the trumpet.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- You are a whole band.- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37The high score at the moment is 100
0:10:37 > 0:10:40and that's your score as well as Jonathan and Ellen's,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42so we need a really good low-scoring answer from you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Ollie, what are you going to go for? - I think mine might be quite safe.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- I'm going to go to Coldplay. - Coldplay. Coldplay says Ollie.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51There is no red line you for you, Ollie, as you are the joint
0:10:51 > 0:10:54high scorers, but let's see, Coldplay - how many people said it?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57If it's right, will it be enough to get you through, I wonder.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00He's right.
0:11:06 > 0:11:077.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09APPLAUSE
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You have equalled the lowest score so far, so very well done.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That takes your total up to 107.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Well done, Ollie.- Well played, Ollie.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18They only had one song in the top 100 selling singles of the 21st-century.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Hazard a guess at which one that was? - Um...Fix You? I don't know.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Paradise.- Of course, Paradise.- Number 55 on that list.- Wow! The only one.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Yeah.- Isn't that extraordinary?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Now then, Clare. Clare, what does a resuscit...?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37What did you say you were? You're a resuscitation officer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Resuscitation officer. Basically, it means...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I'm a nurse by background
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and I teach the resuscitation to mainly hospital staff,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50but GPs, dentists, nurses, anybody that needs updating,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53which is everybody, really, in resuscitation techniques.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56That's pretty brilliant. I wish I knew about resuscitation.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- I can teach you.- Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Very good indeed.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02You've had a bit of time to think of a good answer for this.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Have you got one?- Yes, I'm thinking... I'm just trying...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I don't want to make a silly mistake,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- so I'm going to say Take That. - You're going to go for Take That.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Nice safe option. You're on 10.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The high scorers currently are Ollie and Dan on 107,
0:12:16 > 0:12:17so you have a margin of 96.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I think you should be all right. There's your red line.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Let's see. Take That says Clare. Let's see if it's right
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Take That.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31It's right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:3725.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40APPLAUSE
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Very well done. That takes your total to 35,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- sees you comfortably into Round Two. Well done, Clare.- Well done, Clare.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46They had two songs in the top 100 -
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Patience at 95 and Rule The World at 39.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Now then, Jonathan, what are you studying?- I'm a nursing student.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I'm studying learning disability nursing.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Very good and those Viking classes, you're just...
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- I finished that before I started... - Of course you did.- ..in nursing.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- You've got to get your certificate in that first.- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07What you like to get up to, Jonathan?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Well, I'm really into music.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12This isn't really my specialist area of music...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Or just the vintage.- Pretty much, yeah, all my stuff's on vinyl.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Very few of these on vinyl, I should think.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's going to have to be low-scoring because it's between you
0:13:21 > 0:13:24and Ollie and Dan. You're on 100, they're on 107.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You really should be scoring 6 or less with this.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Well, it's going to have to be a punt.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I've got no idea whether this is going to be good,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33but I'm going to say, because they've got an annoying song, which
0:13:33 > 0:13:36is on football adverts and things, I'm going to say The Fratellis.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42- The Fratellis?- Mmm.- Oh, The Fratellis. Good call, yes,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44that gets under your skin, that song, doesn't it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47There you go. Well, OK. Well, here's your red line, it's quite low.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49If you get below that with The Fratellis,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50you're through to the next round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I reckon if The Fratellis goes anywhere,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- it will go below that.- Yeah, it's either going to be 100 or...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58The Fratellis, is it right? How many people said it if it is?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03No! Bad luck, Jonathan.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08You did what you had to do, but I'm afraid it wasn't right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It scores you 100 points, takes you your total up to 200. I'm sorry.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Jonathan.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Chelsea Dagger, the one that's always on the football
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- but nowhere near the top 100, I'm afraid.- Oh, dear.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's worse news for them than it is you in some ways.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Well, yeah. Well, not really, no.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Now then, Lucy.- Hello.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26You are through to the next round whatever happens.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- That's good news. - It's very good news.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Richard said that you are a student at Edinburgh.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Yeah, I do civil engineering.- Civil engineering? What year are you in?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Second.- What you like to get up to? What are your hobbies?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Kind of embarrassing, really.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I do lots of things that old people like doing, like knitting
0:14:41 > 0:14:46and sewing and baking and cooking. I'm middle-aged before my time.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I wouldn't say that, no, very current. All of these things.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- How are you on your music?- Um...OK.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm happy at 21st century, rather than 20th.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You're through to the next round
0:14:57 > 0:14:59whatever happens, cos the high scorers,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Jonathan and Ellen, have got 200 and you won't overtake them
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- even if you score 100.- OK, well, I was thinking, the Kings Of Leon.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I wasn't totally sure with Sex On Fire, but I think now I'm safe,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I'll go with that.- You're going with Kings Of Leon?- Yes.- Kings Of Leon,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17OK, no red line for you for the good reason that you are already through.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Let's see if the Kings of Leon is right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21If it is, let's see how many people said it. Kings Of Leon.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's right! Very well done, Lucy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:322.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33APPLAUSE
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Brilliant answer.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Takes your total up to 9, a single-figure total,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- very impressive indeed. Richard. - Yeah, very well played, Lucy.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42That's the best answer of the whole round, in fact,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44you two got the best two answers of the round, which is terrific work.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Yeah, Sex On Fire was the ninth biggest-selling single
0:15:47 > 0:15:50of the 21st century. And You Somebody also on that list at 32.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56There's quite a few. Go through a few of them for you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The Baha Men, Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Ellie Goulding, her version of Your Song, the Elton John song,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03that's in the top 100, Eminem's got three songs in there,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Lose Yourself, Love The Way You Lie and Stan.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10James Blunt, You're Beautiful, Jay-Z who contributed to Umbrella
0:16:10 > 0:16:13and Empire State Of Mind, which are both in that top 100.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Katie Perry, she's got three songs in there as well, including Firework.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Military Wives, who had the Christmas No.1, of course.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That's one of the 100 bestselling singles.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Rage Against The Machine, another Christmas No.1, Killing In The Name,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars, was number 38.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Let's take a look at the most obvious answers -
0:16:29 > 0:16:31the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Number three was Adele - she had the second biggest-selling single
0:16:35 > 0:16:37of the 21st century with Someone Like You.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Robbie Williams would have scored you 24 points and we've already
0:16:42 > 0:16:45heard the biggest score from Clare, Take That, with 25.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Thank you very much, Richard. So at the end of our first round,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50the pair who will be leaving us with their high score of 200.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I tell you what, that score belies the thinking
0:16:53 > 0:16:55that went behind your answers.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56A lot of thought went into that.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You might easily have said one of those, mightn't you?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00We're not pop fans.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Really?- We're just not. - Well, listen, we'll see you again
0:17:03 > 0:17:05when you'll have every opportunity to display other
0:17:05 > 0:17:08areas of pointless knowledge. We'll look forward to that very much.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Ellen and Jonathan, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13APPLAUSE
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Back to the remaining three pairs. It's now time for Round Two.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Now, sadly, at the end of this round,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24another pair will be leaving us,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27so we will just be left with our two pairs for the head-to-head.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Which pair is that going to be?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Quite a medical show today with our resuscitation officer
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and our wee doctor. Fantastic.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36We can cover everything between us, can't we?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Fainting and... passing.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44OK, our category for Round Two, let's hope it's that, is, er...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, famous Europeans. There we are.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50who's going to go second?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02OK, our question concerns... famous Spanish people.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Famous Spanish people, Richard?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yeah, we're going to show you a set of 12 clues now of famous
0:18:06 > 0:18:08people whose birthplace was in Spain.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Give us a nice low answer, you're going to score fewer points
0:18:11 > 0:18:14but an incorrect answer, as always, will score you 100 points.
0:18:14 > 0:18:1612 in all to have a go with at home. Good luck.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21So we're looking for famous Spanish people and we have got...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'll read those all very quickly one last time.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58There we are, there are six clues to six famous Spanish people.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Now then, Richard. What do you make of that?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Not much, thank you very much, Alexander.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm not sure if I've got a surname right but I think the opera singer
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- might be Montserrat Caballe. - Montserrat Caballe.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Let's see if that's right,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Absolutely right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:2512.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27APPLAUSE
0:19:27 > 0:19:2912 for Montserrat Caballe or Ca-ba-yey.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- I don't know how you pronounce that. - Yes, Montserrat Ca-ba-yey.- Ca-ba-yey.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Had a hit with Barcelona which is also the theme tune to
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- the 1992 Olympics.- Excellent.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Thank you, Richard.- Now then, Clare.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Unfortunately, I did know that one.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I know everyone says that, but I did.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Of the others, the only one I know I think is going to be the most
0:19:49 > 0:19:53obvious - Seve Ballesteros for the golfer who won The Open three times.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57OK, Seve Ballesteros says Clare. Let's see if that's right
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and those see how many people said Seve Ballesteros.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02It's right.
0:20:06 > 0:20:0744.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Could be a lot worse, 44. - Yes, a safe answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Much better than 100, Clare. Yeah, won the Open three times.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Won the Masters twice as well. The wonderful Seve Ballesteros.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- Very big hands. He could hold 11 golf balls in each hand.- Very good.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Now then, Dan.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26You're the last person to have this board of Spaniards.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Unfortunately, my brother is obsessed with Spain.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- He has gone there for six weeks. - Why is that unfortunate?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33He loves speaking Spanish.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I don't share his enthusiasm for the country,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40but one of the ones that I think I do know is left and that's
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Formula One World Champion - I'm going to go for Fernando Alonso.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Fernando Alonso.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said that?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Fernando Alonso.
0:20:58 > 0:21:0017.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Really not bad at all, Dan. 17 for Fernando Alonso.- Well played, Dan.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07A relief that it stayed on the board right till the end?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Yeah, it was. - He won in 2005, 2006 with Renault.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15The 16th century conquistador
0:21:15 > 0:21:18who led the conquest of the Aztec empire was Cortes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Hernan Cortes would have scored you 13 points.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The director of All About My Mother - Xander, do you know that?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Yes, Almodovar.- Pedro Almodovar.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28How do you...?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Is it Almoo-dover or Alma-dover, or...?- Al-modovar, I've always said.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Three points, and the playwright who wrote The House of Bernarda Alba?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's got Garcia in his name, it's the middle... I can't remember...
0:21:39 > 0:21:44It's Lorca. Federico Garcia Lorca. That would have scored one point.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47That's the best answer on the board so well done if you said that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Halfway through the round, the scores...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Our very best score of that pass
0:21:52 > 0:21:54was Richard's once again.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Looking very strong on 12. Up to 17 where we find Dan and Ollie.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Then up to 44, quite a hike up there where we find Clare and Sue.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Sue, a bit of pressure on you on the next pass.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Best of luck with that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Coming back down the line now. Second players, please take your places at the podium.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board for famous Spanish people.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Here they come. We have got...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now remember, Ollie, we are looking for the famous Spanish person
0:22:50 > 0:22:53described by each of these clues and you're looking
0:22:53 > 0:22:55for the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What do you reckon to that?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I know Don Quixote and I should know The Mask Of Zorro actor,
0:23:02 > 0:23:03but I'm going to have to play it safe
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and go for Enrique Iglesias for the singer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08OK, you're going to go for Enrique Iglesias.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The high scorers at the moment are Sue and Clare on 44, you're on 17.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15If you can score 26 or less you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16That is your red line.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Good luck. Enrique Iglesias - is it right?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Will it get Ollie below that red line?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Very well done. Oh, just, look at that, 24!
0:23:32 > 0:23:3524 takes your total up to 41. You're in the head-to-head.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Well played, Ollie.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It's an answer in the previous round as well, Enrique Iglesias.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It would have scored you one point in the previous round.- Wow.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47If you had gone the whole show and just said Enrique Iglesias you'd have got through to the head-to-head.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Now then, Sue. You're still the high scorers on 44.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55We need a low-scoring answer from you here.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- What do you think of that board?- I don't think you're going to get one!
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Really?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I know I'm going to kick myself - the tennis champion -
0:24:02 > 0:24:07but I can't think who it is, so I'm going to have to play safe
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and say Antonio Banderas for The Mask of Zorro.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Antonio Banderas, says Sue.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14No red line for you cos you're the high scorers.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Let's see if Banderas is right and if it is,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19how many of our 100 people said it?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It is right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:2828, another high score.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Takes your total up to 72.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Yeah, a nervous time now, Sue. Antonio Banderas.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Banderas is Spanish for flags, so his name is Tony Flags.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Altogether a better name. Tony Flags.- Like a Ray Winstone type.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Now then, Lucy.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You're on 12, the highest scorers on 72 are Sue and Clare.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52If you can score 59 or less
0:24:52 > 0:24:54you're through to the next round.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Do you know any of the answers on that board?- No.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Really?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I feel like I should know the author of Don Quixote, but I don't.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05And the tennis one - I want to say Nadal
0:25:05 > 0:25:08but I don't know his first name.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I can't even think of a Spanish...
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I don't even know if he's Spanish. This is a guess - Rafael Nadal?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18I don't even know if he's Spanish, but it's my best shot!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK, Rafael Nadal. Plucked out of thin air.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think he might be French.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let's just hope he's Spanish for now, shall we?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27There is your red line.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32If Rafael Nadal is right and gets you below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Let's see, is it right? How many of our 100 people said Rafael Nadal, if it is?
0:25:37 > 0:25:42It's right. And you're through to the head-to-head, very well done.
0:25:42 > 0:25:4435.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45APPLAUSE
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Absolutely brilliant, Lucy. Very well done indeed.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Inspiration came just in the nick of time.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I have no idea where that came from!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Scores you 35, takes your total up to 47.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Well done.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well played, Lucy. Must have been in there somewhere, mustn't it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Nadal in Catalan means Christmas. - Ah, no!- So he's Ralph Christmas.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Flags and Christmas.- Yeah, that's nice. Tony Flags and Ralph Christmas.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Aw.- That's nice. Plays left-handed but was born right-handed.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12His uncle Tony made him play left-handed cos he thought...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- His uncle Tony Flags?- Tony Flags is not his uncle, unfortunately.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Tony Christmas is his uncle.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, right.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yeah, he thought it would be an advantage in the world of tennis.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Seems to be working fairly well so far, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Let's look at the rest of these.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27The author of Don Quixote is...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Cervantes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Yeah, Miguel de Cervantes. Would have scored you six points.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- The artist who painted The Persistence of Memory... - Salvador Dali.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Absolutely right, 9. The best answer on the board.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The Double World Rally Championship winner which I won't come to you for.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- No idea!- It's Carlos Sainz.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Very well done if you said Carlos Sainz.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Very good. Well, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So at the end of Round Two, our losing pair with a high score of 72 -
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- not that high a score...- No.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57But I'm afraid in the world of Spaniards that is a high score.
0:26:57 > 0:27:0072 - yeah, that was tough! You had to go with Antonio Banderas.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04When we went through the board did you suddenly find yourself thinking, "Actually, I did know that"?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Yeah.- Dali.- Dali and Nadal.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11- Yeah.- But I blanked, unfortunately. - Well, it happens. It happens a lot.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's very hard. Particularly on your first appearance.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16When people come back for a second appearance on Pointless,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19that's when they tend to go right through to the final and carry off the trophy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Lovely having you on the show.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We will see you again next time, Sue and Clare, and we look forward to that very much.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Meantime, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.- Thanks.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29APPLAUSE
0:27:29 > 0:27:33But for the two remaining pairs they're about to get one step closer to the final
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and the chance of taking home the jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Congratulations, Lucy and Richard, Ollie and Dan.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You are now only one round away from the final and a chance
0:27:47 > 0:27:50to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £7,250.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Only one pair can play for that money and to decide which pair it's going to be
0:27:58 > 0:28:01you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03This time you are allowed to confer.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12- So, Lucy, what have we learnt today? - Nadal is Spanish, not French!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15More importantly, we've learnt to go with our gut.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- Ollie and Dan, what else have we learnt today?- Try and not get 100!
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Yeah, but anyway, listen, the head-to-head,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24this is where all the rules change.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You are now allowed to put your heads together.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37OK, here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47publicity shots or stills from Meryl Streep films.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Can you name the most obscure of these films, please?
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five stills from Meryl Streep films and here they are.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55We have got...
0:29:09 > 0:29:12There we are, five Meryl Streep films.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Now, Lucy and Richard, you've played best throughout the show so far
0:29:15 > 0:29:17so you get to answer first.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21(I know three of them. C is Silkwood.)
0:29:22 > 0:29:26We're going to go for C - Silkwood, Alexander.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Silkwood, you're going to go for. C - Silkwood.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32There we are. Now, Ollie and Dan.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34You have four films left to choose from.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37In fact, you can also put another answer in for C
0:29:37 > 0:29:39if you think that Richard and Lucy are wrong.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Talk us through the board if you like. Do all your chatting out loud.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45We're pretty confident on A being Mamma Mia,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48but I think as long as there's a few housewives in the 100,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52we're probably not going to get that one any lower than C if it's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56We're just trying to sort of see if we can get an answer for E
0:29:56 > 0:29:58which we kind of half recognise.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Do we want to risk it or should we go for the safe one?
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Based on the fact that we don't know any of the others...confidently,
0:30:04 > 0:30:10we're going to go A and hope that they have made a horrible mistake.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- OK, you're going to go for A and say...- A - Mamma Mia.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Mamma Mia, OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So we have C - Silkwood from Lucy and Richard.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Silkwood for C?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's right.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3210.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Very well done indeed. 10 for Silkwood.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Ollie and Dan are saying that A is Mamma Mia.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43A - Mamma Mia.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:5267.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55APPLAUSE
0:30:55 > 0:30:56There we are, very well done.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Lucy and Richard, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Yeah, Lucy and Richard are good, aren't they?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Good all the way through. Yeah, you had to go for the one you knew, guys.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07B is the best answer up there, actually.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10That is Postcards From The Edge. It would have scored you two points.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Very well done if you said that.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Do you know D?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17It's The French Lieutenant's Woman.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Yeah, I should have known that, for heaven's sake!
0:31:20 > 0:31:23That would have scored you 20 points.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26And E - guys, what were you going to say for E?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I think it's something like Truth or Guilt.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Yeah, you're not a million miles away, it's Doubt.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Doubt is the answer,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34so the right ballpark.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Would have scored four points.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38A really good answer, would have won you the point.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Ollie and Dan, this is your chance to get back in the game.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48You have to win this question, though, to do that. Our second question concerns...
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Green food. Richard.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Yes, simply going to show you five anagrams now of foods
0:31:55 > 0:31:57which are commonly green.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Can you unscramble them and choose the most obscure?
0:32:00 > 0:32:01OK, thanks, Richard.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Let's reveal our five green food anagrams and here they are. We have got...
0:32:12 > 0:32:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21There we go. Five anagrams of green fruit.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Ollie and Dan, you can have a moment or two to think and then you go first.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Ah, yeah, I think we're going to go with CRUMB CUE for CUCUMBER.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36OK, CUCUMBER - CRUMB CUE, say Ollie and Dan.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Lucy and Richard, talk us through the board if you can.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I'm quite proud. TAUT GNOME - MANGETOUT, I think.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I don't know if MANGETOUT is green but I quite like anagrams, so...
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- KIWI FRUIT at the bottom.- Oh, yeah! I don't know what ERECT GOUT is.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52MANGETOUT is green, isn't it?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Yeah. MANGETOUT.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56MANGETOUT you are going to say for TAUT GNOME.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58So we have CUCUMBER and MANGETOUT.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Ollie and Dan said CUCUMBER, let's see if that's right
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and if it is, how many people said it? CUCUMBER.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Absolutely right.
0:33:07 > 0:33:0972.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11APPLAUSE
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Lucy and Richard have gone for MANGETOUT for TAUT GNOME.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Let's see if that's right, if it is, how many people said it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22This to decide whether or not Ollie and Dan stay with us
0:33:22 > 0:33:25or whether or not Lucy and Richard go through to the final.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Oh, well done!
0:33:32 > 0:33:3422.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37APPLAUSE
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Very well done. Lucy and Richard, after only two questions you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Yeah, tough luck, Ollie and Dan. Met a bit of a steamroller there.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Very well played. You've taken us through a few of the others as well.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52APE obviously is PEA. That would have scored you 92.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56That shows what anagrams, you know...
0:33:57 > 0:34:00WIKI IF RUT - you're right, Richard - it's KIWI FRUIT.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02That would have been a better answer, actually,
0:34:02 > 0:34:06that would have scored you 12 and the best answer is ERECT GOUT.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Do you know that one?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Courgette.- Absolutely, it's the best answer up there, actually.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13It would have scored seven points.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:17 > 0:34:18it's Ollie and Dan.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21You've played well throughout, nice consistent answering.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Then you came up against the steamroller that is Lucy and Richard
0:34:24 > 0:34:26who I'm afraid have just been our low scorers every single round.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29We will see you again next time
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34We look forward to that. Ollie and Dan, thanks so much for playing.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36APPLAUSE
0:34:36 > 0:34:38But for Lucy and Richard, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Congratulations, Lucy and Richard, you've fought off all the competition
0:34:45 > 0:34:48and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:56 > 0:35:00and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £7,250.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I think we've tested you pretty well today.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08We started off with 21st-century singles, bestselling singles,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10then we had Spanish people, then we had Meryl Streep,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12then we had green food.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Is there anything else we haven't really tapped yet?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Em, my specialist subject is Harry Potter.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21So that would be great for the final then?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Yeah, slightly embarrassing, but I'm a bit obsessed.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Like, if it was a character list or something, I'd be in there.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Right, OK, so anything to do with Harry Potter?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Not ANYTHING to do with Harry Potter,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34but I've got a broad range, you know? It's a good...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I'm well studied!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38OK, well, the pair of you have done so well so far,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40it's been a clean sweep the whole way through.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43It looks pretty good for this round. Very, very best of luck.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44The rules are very simple.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47To win the money all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50do that and you will go home with that £7,250.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Firstly, you've got to choose a category. Here are your five options. They are...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Not Hip-Hop Stars, definitely not Hip-Hop Stars.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Not Basketball Stars!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- I'd be tempted by Children's Books. - There's books, OK.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Harry Potter is a children's book, kind of. Or Film Trilogies.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Children's Books, I think, probably. - D'you think?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Oh, I feel like it's down to me now. - No, I was a child once as well!
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- OK, yeah, Children's Books. - Children's Books it is.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28OK, let's find out what the question is. Very best of luck.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Richard.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Yes, we are looking for any of the Mr Men or Little Miss characters whose
0:36:42 > 0:36:45name is Mr or Little Miss followed by a word beginning with S, please.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48We are just looking for any of the official books published
0:36:48 > 0:36:50under the name Roger Hargreaves as listed on their website.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53So any of the Mr Men or Little Miss characters whose name
0:36:53 > 0:36:56begins with S up to the beginning of 2012.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58And we will need you to specify
0:36:58 > 0:37:01whether it's a Mr or a Little Miss and the answer you're giving us.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Very best of luck.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:05 > 0:37:11and all you need to win that £7,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Are you ready?- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- There they are, your time starts now.- Sunshine, Little Miss Sunshine.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Is there a Sleepy? - Well, it's worth a try.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Mr Sleepy maybe? I don't know.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Sneezy?- Don't know. I can think of plenty that aren't Ss.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32- Mr Bump was my favourite, but... - Mr Smelly maybe?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Maybe!
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Would it be Little Miss? No, it wouldn't... Mr Smelly.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- But it's a guess.- Mr Spaniard! I don't know! Probably not.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49What are characteristics? Smiley? Little Miss Smiley? Little Miss Smiley maybe?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Think there's only one Little Miss, isn't there?- What, ever?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Little Miss Sunshine.- She's not the only Little Miss.- OK, well...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Square, there's a square guy. - Mr Square?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00I don't know if he's called Mr Square, that sounds a bit stupid.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- That's a good one, Square, Sunshine...- Sunshine won't be zero.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08It's right, but it won't be zero. We've only got 12 seconds. Aah!
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Ten seconds left.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Well, we've got to put one in right. - OK, Little Miss Sunshine.- Mr Square.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- Mr Smelly.- OK! - OK, there are your three.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18OK, time is now up.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22We were looking for Mr Men and Little Miss characters beginning with S.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I now need your three answers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Little Miss Sunshine. - Little Miss Sunshine.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29She's definitely one.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Mr Square.- Mr Square.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34The well-known cartoon character(!) And Mr Smelly?
0:38:34 > 0:38:35And Mr Smelly.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Of those three,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Mr Square, probably.- Mr Square do you think? OK.- Or Mr Smelly.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Little Miss Sunshine won't be pointless.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47But she's definitely right, let's get some points on the board.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- We'll put her first.- She is our first one.- OK, she can go first.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Which one do you want to put last? Your most likely to be pointless.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- You choose.- Mr Square. I can imagine a square red man.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I can see a square red man. He might be called Mr Square.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- He might not be! - So we'll put him last. There we are.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are. We have got...
0:39:10 > 0:39:14OK, we were looking for Mr Men and Little Miss Characters beginning with S.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Little Miss Sunshine was your first answer.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18You're pretty sure this is right.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20In fact, I think this is the only one you were confident was right,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- but you think it unlikely to be pointless.- Yeah.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Well, let's find out. Little Miss Sunshine.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that jackpot.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33So for £7,250, let's see how many people said Little Miss Sunshine.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35It's right.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40How far down is it going to go? It's still going down through the 50s.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43You've reached the halfway mark and beyond.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4424.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46APPLAUSE
0:39:48 > 0:39:5024 for Little Miss Sunshine.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52So unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Were one of these two remaining answers to be pointless
0:39:57 > 0:40:00and you were to win that jackpot of £7,250,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03what would you do with that money, Lucy?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I would probably buy a car.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09I saw online a little old-fashioned Mini with the racing stripes
0:40:09 > 0:40:15- and I'd love one. But I'm not that confident! So...- Richard?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Well, I'm in need of a full Viking regalia.- Of course you are!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Gold and silver...helmet would look good.- There you are.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25OK, well, we were looking for Mr Men and Little Miss characters
0:40:25 > 0:40:29beginning with S, let's hope nobody said your next character, Mr Smelly.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Let's also hope Mr Smelly is right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Oh, that's a book, if that hasn't yet been written, surely!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Anyway, this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £7,250.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42So let's see, how many people said Mr Smelly?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Oh!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- Mr Stinky!- Bad luck. Bad luck, an incorrect answer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55So Mr Smelly didn't exist.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Mind you, I can't picture what Mr Smelly would look like.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- I'm pretty sure I'd definitely know what Mr Square would look like. - Yeah!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05We're looking for Mr Men and Little Miss characters beginning with S.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Your final answer was Mr Square.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11You were confident that if this was right it might be pointless.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Who would think of Mr Square?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17OK, well, to win that jackpot of £7,250 this has to be pointless.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20So let's find out - is Mr Square right? Is it pointless?
0:41:20 > 0:41:21How many people said it?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Well, unfortunately you didn't manage to find
0:41:34 > 0:41:36that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39which means you don't win today's jackpot of £7,250
0:41:39 > 0:41:41which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43But you have been fantastic contestants
0:41:43 > 0:41:46and you do, of course, get to take home our Pointless trophy. So very well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48APPLAUSE
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Yeah, I think the Mr Square character you're thinking of is Mr Strong...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Oh, yeah.- ..who was a red square. He would have scored nine points.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Mr Smelly - there's no Mr Smelly
0:41:59 > 0:42:01but five of our 100 people made the same mistake.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04They also named Mr Smelly, but he doesn't exist I'm afraid.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Only three pointless answers. I'll go through some of the lower ones.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Mr Slow would have scored you three. Mr Snow would have scored you two.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Then a load of Little Misses - Little Miss Scatterbrain, Splendid and Star all would have scored you one.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Here are the three pointless answers. These would have won you the money.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Little Miss Scary - she likes horror films and scaring people.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Little Miss Somersault and Little Miss Stubborn.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28All of those would have won you the jackpot.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Very well done to anybody of any age who got any of those at home.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Lucy and Richard,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41APPLAUSE
0:42:41 > 0:42:44So nobody's won our jackpot today which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:44 > 0:42:47when we will be playing for £8,250.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- It's goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
