0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Hello, my name's Jonathan, this is my girlfriend Ellen and we come from Hull.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42And couple number two?
0:00:42 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Jeff, this is my brother Mike. We're both East Enders originally.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Couple number three.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54My name's Sue, and this is my friend Clare, and we're from Woking in Surrey.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And our fourth and final couple.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Ollie, this is my good friend Dan from secondary school. We're both from Dorset.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are our contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:10We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. There's only
0:01:10 > 0:01:14one person left to introduce. This is like a driving test of obscurity,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17you've done the theory, this is the practical. It's time to meet
0:01:17 > 0:01:20your examiner, it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I wish I'd had an examiner like you when I did my driving test.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I can't drive, I wouldn't be a very good examiner.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34How are you this afternoon?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Very well.- It should be a great show. Three of the pairs
0:01:38 > 0:01:41we've had on before - we've only got one new pair and that's Mike and Jeff.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47Now, one person today on our line-up, you have to guess who it is,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49has swum the Channel.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- One person has swum the Channel...- Uh-huh.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57OK, I will keep an eye open for that.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You're not allowed to ask.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- I'm not allowed to ask?- Well, then it'll be the person who says yes, won't it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04LAUGHTER
0:02:04 > 0:02:07That would be my first avenue, certainly.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Anyway, yes, I'll do that. Very good. Thank you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Our contestants need to find the obscure answers that those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25that none of our 100 people gave and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000
0:02:29 > 0:02:33to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £8,250.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47In this round I'd like an answer from each of you, and there's no conferring.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:50 > 0:02:54will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK, our category for Round One today is...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Chemical Elements.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11OK, our question concerns...
0:03:12 > 0:03:18C-A-R-B-O-N Elements.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Cryptic, huh? We're looking for any element in the periodic table up to
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and including element 112 that begins with one of those letters, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31So any element in the periodic table that begins with C, A, R, B, O or N,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35and I'm afraid I'm not going to allow the word "carbon".
0:03:35 > 0:03:36LAUGHTER
0:03:36 > 0:03:41So, there we are, elements beginning with any of those letters.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Now then, Ellen. Tell us the story of last time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It was an unmitigated disaster last time.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53No, I'd say it was a mitigated disaster. How are you feeling about
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- chemical elements?- Awful!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I have one in my mind, but I hope it's an actual thing
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and not something I've made up.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09I'm going to say argon.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Argon. OK, let's find out. Is argon right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said argon?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Brilliant, Ellen, it's right.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Seems a good score I think, 41. - That'll do.- Richard.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36It was isolated in 1894, argon. And it's the only element to bring out a catalogue every Christmas.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38LAUGHTER
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Thanks very much. Now then, Mike. Welcome to the show. Where are you from, Mike?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I'm currently living in Billericay in Essex.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Billericay!- My birthplace. - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53OK, Mike, how good is your chemistry?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58It's not too bad. I'm just a bit worried about the atomic number limit that you've given me, but...
0:04:58 > 0:05:03I think I have one in mind. I hope it's not too high up the scale.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- What's it going to be? - I'm going to say rutherfordium.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Whoa! Rutherfordium.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Have you heard of that, Jeff?- No!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17All right, rutherfordium. Sounds brilliant.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's right!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Look at that!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Mike, very well done, that's a pointless answer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £8,500,
0:05:39 > 0:05:44and it scores you absolutely nothing, that's brilliant. Very well done indeed. Richard?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Welcome to Pointless, that's the way to play it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Named after the British physicist Ernest Rutherford.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's atomic number 104, in case you're interested.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Now, Sue. Welcome back to the show. What happened last time?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Those Spaniards did it for us.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Spanish people, please!- Mmm. Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Spanish people did it for us.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09They were quite hard. You had to know their Christian names as well,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13which just made it doubly hard. Time to redeem yourself now, though.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Well, I've either imagined this,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22in which case it's going to be really wrong... Neptunium.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Neptunium. What do you think, Clare? Have you heard of that?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It sounds impressive, but I haven't heard of it. But that doesn't mean anything.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- But I hadn't heard of rutherfordium, either, so...- No, I hadn't either. I think that's a good punt.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Neptunium.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41OK. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said neptunium.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's right!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Very well done indeed, Sue.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's another pointless answer!
0:06:52 > 0:06:58This is brilliant. That adds another £250 to today's jackpot taking the
0:06:58 > 0:07:02total to £8,750. It also scores you nothing. Who knew this round was
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- going to be such a bonanza?! - Brilliant, isn't it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Very well played, Sue. That's a terrific answer.- Wow. A lot of things
0:07:08 > 0:07:10on that table I've never heard of.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I'm never sure the difference between a periodic table and an occasional table.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:17They sound like the same thing.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26- Dan?- As a physicist, I feel like I should do well in this one. I feel
0:07:26 > 0:07:29like I've got too many to choose from.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Which is a blessing, I suppose. I'm going to go with one that my
0:07:33 > 0:07:36lecturer at uni spent 12 years proving that this was
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- slightly oblate rather than spherical.- Oh, it's oblate?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- LAUGHTER - And my answer is osmium.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Osmium, says Dan. Slightly oblate rather than spherical.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- LAUGHTER - Always remember that(!)
0:07:50 > 0:07:54OK, let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said osmium?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Absolutely right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:072! Another brilliant answer. Very well done, Dan.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15Two for osmium. I hear osmium. It's about time someone named a chemical
0:08:15 > 0:08:17element after you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18That is named after me.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I discovered it. I discovered it in the mid-'70s.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Down the back of my sofa.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I feel a bit sorry for Dan cos you're a physicist and... Afterwards, we'll
0:08:29 > 0:08:33ask you and see if you can get any pointless ones.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34At the end of the next pass.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Out of the 112, I should have heard of a good few of them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Actually, I know there's going to be a couple more that will be added in the next couple of years.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yeah, but you still got beat my Mike and Sue, so...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48LAUGHTER
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's true. It's true.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Thanks very much. We're halfway through the first round.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Very good scoring from Sue and Mike.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Two fantastic new things for me to
0:09:03 > 0:09:06remember. Rutherfordium and neptunium.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Fantastic answers and osmium, 2, from
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Dan and up to 41, Ellen. That was a great answer argon.- That's OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's a cracking answer!
0:09:14 > 0:09:20- I didn't realise you were going to be up against the Nobel committee. - Exactly.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23A little bit of pressure on you, Jonathan. The very best of luck.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We're coming back down the line. Can the second players
0:09:26 > 0:09:28please take their places at the podium?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Ollie, we discovered last time that you are at university studying music
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- at the Royal Holloway.- Yup.- What else do you like to get up to?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Obviously, music is a big part of your life. What else?- I do quite
0:09:41 > 0:09:45like acting. Nothing particularly serious. I like doing comedies and
0:09:45 > 0:09:49things. I enjoy trying to make people laugh. I do open-mic nights
0:09:49 > 0:09:52and stand-up stuff in London sometimes which is fun.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Very good indeed. How's your chemistry?- Speaking as a music student,
0:09:57 > 0:10:02not that good. I'm going to go for one which I'm pretty sure
0:10:02 > 0:10:06exists and say cobalt.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Cobalt. There is your red line. You're on 2 at the moment. The high scorers are Jonathan and Ellen
0:10:11 > 0:10:15on 41. If you can score 38 or less, you are in to the next round.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Cobalt. Let's see it's right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:27It's right. Well done. Through to the next round you go. Then it goes.
0:10:27 > 0:10:293.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Brilliant answer, Ollie.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Only one higher than our physicist friend there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That takes your total to 5. Very well done, Ollie.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well played, Ollie. Very good answer.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43CO - the chemical symbol for cobalt.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Now then, Clare.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52- This is a little bit of pressure. Sue did brilliantly well.- She did.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56The high scorers, Jonathan and Ellen on 1. How does this compare to the
0:10:56 > 0:11:01pressure of swimming long distances in one of the busiest shipping
0:11:01 > 0:11:08- lanes...?- Before she answers, is that what you're going for? - I'm going to
0:11:08 > 0:11:09go for, maybe for Clare.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I'm going to see how she reacts to it.- Are you going to go for Clare?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes, I've stuck my neck out on Clare.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Well, yes. I did swim the channel.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18APPLAUSE
0:11:22 > 0:11:26But, I'd just like to say, it was in a team. It wasn't me alone. There
0:11:26 > 0:11:32- were six of us. It was a relay team and I did my share.- Still, that's
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- offshore swimming. It's quite scary. - It was very scary.- Huge ocean going
0:11:37 > 0:11:39vessels bearing down on you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Massive vessels, jellyfish, Australian people doing moonies at us.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48No, no, no, no! Where did they come from or are they just everywhere?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50They were on another boat that had just come back from swimming the
0:11:50 > 0:11:54channel. It's so busy, people doing this for charity. It's amazing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- Very well done indeed. Brilliant. - There you are. That surprised everybody.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03So, then, can you try and equal Sue's low score?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I can't get anything as good as Sue,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09but I was going to go for, cos I'm hoping people might not think of it,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10arsenic.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Arsenic?- Mmm.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Very good. Arsenic. Here is your red line. Quite nice and high.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19If you get below that with arsenic, you are through to the next round.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Is arsenic right? How many people said it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Absolutely right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Phew!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- You are in Round Two.- Yes!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Oh! Very well done indeed. Seven.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34APPLAUSE
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Seven takes your total up to 7.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Very well played, Clare. Very, very low-scoring round, isn't it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Very impressive.- Really impressive.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Very good indeed. Now then, Jeff,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48tell us about yourself, Jeff. Where do you live?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I live in Stanstead Abbotts. I'd just like to say
0:12:51 > 0:12:55that I can swim a whole length on my own, no armbands.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57LAUGHTER
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Of which channel?- No, no. The swimming pool.- Oh, right. OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- The Stanstead Abbotts pool.- Indeed.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Very good. What do you like to get up to when you're not swimming?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, I play a lot of badminton. I'm a badminton coach.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I teach quite a few kids.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Would you say sport is going to be one of your strong suits?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I think so, but then, sport's such a wide range
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and it could be anything, couldn't it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- What about the ancient sport of chemistry?- Yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So we're looking for any element
0:13:26 > 0:13:29beginning with C, A, R, B, O or N.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33I've got one, and it ends in "ium" so it could be right.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Sounds like an element to me.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'm going to say barium.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Barium. Very good. There is your red line.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Now, Jonathan, Ellen, watch closely.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44If barium goes below that red line,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46you know what that means.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Right, let's see. Barium - is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53It is right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Very well done, Jeff!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Very bad luck, Jonathan and Ellen.
0:14:00 > 0:14:028 for Jeff!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Great answer, really good answer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Takes your total up to 8. Brilliant. Richard.- Very well played, Jeff.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Good work, everybody in fact, in this round. It's been a absolute cracker.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Chemical symbol Ba, atomic number 56, off the top of my head.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- I like the way you got that from thin air.- Yeah.- 56?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Yeah, let me think...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, 56, yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24LAUGHTER
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Now then, Jonathan,
0:14:26 > 0:14:27your high score of 41
0:14:27 > 0:14:30is so far ahead of all the other totals
0:14:30 > 0:14:33before you've even given an answer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38However, this is your chance to pluck out a pointless answer
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- and add a little bit more to the jackpot.- OK.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I don't think it's pointless,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46but I'm going to go with Californium.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Californium.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Jonathan could be in the Beach boys, couldn't he? Know what I mean?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yeah.- Yeah!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Looks a bit Brian Wilson, circa '65, '66.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You could definitely be in the Beach boys.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- You'll have a bit of time on your hands in a minute as well, so... - Yeah, definitely!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06OK. Californium, says Jonathan. Let's see if it's right
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and if it is, obviously, no red line for you, I'm afraid,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12but let's see if it's right and maybe, let's see if it's pointless.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Absolutely right.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Ooh, down it goes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Oh! Two!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Brilliant answer, Jonathan.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26APPLAUSE
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Takes your total up to 43, a very low total, but I'm afraid too high.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, it's a terrific answer, Jonathan, and as you say, 43,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37almost always would see you safely through to the second round,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39so I'm sorry about that.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Californium, can you guess where it was discovered?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Billericay?- Oh, near there. It's the University of California.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48There are seven pointless answers here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Dan, do you want to have a little crack at a couple?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I thought of rubidium.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Rubidium would have scored you 3.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I'm going to make a fool of myself, really, aren't I?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Astatine.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Astatine would have scored you 2.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Nobelium?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Nobelium would have scored you...1.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Oh, come on! - One last chance. One last chance.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I don't know. Curium.- Curium?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Come on, even I've heard of curium.
0:16:15 > 0:16:162.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18LAUGHTER
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Let's take a look at the pointless ones.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Berkelium would have been a pointless answer.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Copernicium, Neodymium also a pointless answer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Very well done if you said any of those. Neptunium,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31obviously we've already heard, terrific answer,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Rhenium, Ruthenium
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and Mike gave us Rutherfordium.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Really, really good. Well played, everyone, that's a cracking round
0:16:39 > 0:16:40and very sorry to Jonathan and Ellen.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Yeah, very well played. Thanks, Richard.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45At the end of our first round, the pair who'll be leaving us
0:16:45 > 0:16:48with the high score of 43... That's not a high score,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50that's an medium to low score.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm afraid, though, it's Jonathan and Ellen leaving us.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So there we are. We have to say goodbye to you far too soon.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Jonathan and Ellen, thank you so much for playing.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's been great having you on the show.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Obviously there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round
0:17:13 > 0:17:15so sadly, one of the pairs in front of me now
0:17:15 > 0:17:17will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Wow, what a low-scoring round that was.
0:17:20 > 0:17:235 points for Ollie and Dan, 7 for Sue and Clare
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and 8 for Mike and Jeff.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yeah. OK, well, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Fictional characters. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:17:36 > 0:17:38who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Richard.- We're going to show you a list of clues now
0:17:54 > 0:17:57to 12 fictional characters from TV, film or literature,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00each of whom is best known by the first name Tom, Dick or Harry.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07OK, so we are looking for these famous Toms, Dicks and Harrys
0:18:07 > 0:18:08And we have got...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Dirty cop played by Clint Eastwood in five films,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16the subject of a 1749 work by Henry Fielding,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20a panto character, believed London's streets were paved with gold,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Fred Trent's simple friend in The Old Curiosity Shop,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27the titular character in Mark Twain's 1876 novel
0:18:27 > 0:18:32and the comic detective created by Chester Gould in 1931.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Dirty cop played by Clint Eastwood in five films,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41the subject of a 1749 work by Henry Fielding,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44panto character, believed London's streets were paved with gold,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Fred Trent's simple friend in The Old Curiosity Shop,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51the titular character in Mark Twain's 1876 novel
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and the comic detective created by Chester Gould in 1931.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58There we are.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Six clues to Toms, Dicks and Harrys.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Now then, Jeff, I want you to find a really nice obscure one
0:19:04 > 0:19:07on that board, the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I think I only know one, so I'm going to have to go for it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think it's obvious.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Dick Whittington, panto character,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17believed London's streets were paved with gold.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20OK, Jeff's going to go with Dick Whittington.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Let's see if Dick Whittington's right
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and how many people knew that answer if it is.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Absolutely right.
0:19:29 > 0:19:3150!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33APPLAUSE
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- 50 for Dick Whittington. - Yeah, Dick Whittington and his cat.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39There was a Richard Whittington who was the Lord Mayor of London
0:19:39 > 0:19:41in the late 14, early 15th centuries.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Now then, Sue.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think I'm going to have to go for the comic detective
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and I think it's Dick Tracy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Dick Tracy, says Sue. Let's see if Dick Tracy's right.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Let's see how many people knew that.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Absolutely right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- 12. - APPLAUSE
0:20:05 > 0:20:0812 for Dick Tracy.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Well played, Sue. Also a 1990 film with Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Ollie, you're the last person to have this board,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18so you can talk us through it, if you like.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19We've got Dirty Harry, obviously.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I don't know the one about...I probably will kick myself
0:20:22 > 0:20:24about Henry Fielding, because that rings a bell.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26No idea what The Old Curiosity Shop is,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28so I'm going to have to go for Tom Sawyer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Tom Sawyer, says Ollie. The Mark Twain titular character.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew Tom Sawyer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4132.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44APPLAUSE
0:20:44 > 0:20:4532 for Tom Sawyer.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Yes, from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49alongside Huckleberry Finn.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Let's go through the rest.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54The dirty cop, I wouldn't have accepted Dirty Harry.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58It's Harry Callahan. It would have scored 15 points.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The 1749 work by Henry Fielding is, of course?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Tom Jones.- Absolutely right. It would have scored you 9.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Do you know Fred Trent's simple friend in The Old Curiosity Shop?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09He's got quite a name on him.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I think it's Dick Swiveller.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It is Dick Swiveller. Absolutely right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15LAUGHTER That would have scored 1 point.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Sue and Clare on 12. Lovely low score!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Then up to 32, where we find Ollie and Dan.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31And then up to 50, where we find Jeff and Mike.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Mike, a bit of a task ahead of you in the next pass,
0:21:33 > 0:21:34but if anyone can do it, you can.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Very best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Can the second players now take their places at the podium?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board
0:21:45 > 0:21:48to Toms, Dicks, and Harrys, and here they are. We have got...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29There we are. Remember, we are looking for
0:22:29 > 0:22:32the full names of these Toms, Dicks, or Harrys,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and you're trying to find the one
0:22:34 > 0:22:38you think the fewest of our 100 people knew. Now then, Dan.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I'm going to go with the birth name of Lord Voldemort
0:22:42 > 0:22:44as Tom Riddle.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Tom Riddle, says Dan.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Tom Riddle, the birth name of Lord Voldemort.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Here is your red line.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51The high-scorers are Mike and Jeff on 50.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53You're on 32, so 17 or less
0:22:53 > 0:22:55will see you through to the next round.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Tom Riddle. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Absolutely right.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You've done it! 7!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- APPLAUSE - Takes your total up to 39.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Very well done, Dan.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah, well done, Dan. Very good choice to make.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Tom Marvolo Riddle is his full name,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19which is an anagram of, "I am Lord Voldemort."
0:23:21 > 0:23:22The clue is literally in the name!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I know! It's weird, but an absolute coincidence(!)
0:23:26 > 0:23:27LAUGHTER
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Wow! There you go!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Now then, Clare.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Mike and Jeff are on 50, you're on 12.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You want to be scoring 37 or less with this answer
0:23:37 > 0:23:40to make sure that you get through to the next round.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42OK. I think I'm going to go for
0:23:42 > 0:23:46the character played by Richard Briers in a 1970s sitcom
0:23:46 > 0:23:47as Tom Good.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Tom Good, played by Richard Briers in a 1970s sitcom.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Let's see if that's right,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54and if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56There is your red line. Below that, you are through.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Absolutely right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04You've done it. You're through.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Look at that, 23! Very well done indeed!
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Taking your total up to 35. - APPLAUSE
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Richard? - Yeah, very solid work, Clare.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Very well played. Obviously in The Good Life,
0:24:14 > 0:24:15the wonderful Richard Briers.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Very, very strong indeed. Now, Mike, bad news.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I'm afraid you're already the high-scorers.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23You haven't yet given your brilliant answer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- THEY LAUGH - However, I'm sure there's one in there.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29That board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Sadly, there is only one left that I know the answer to.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I don't think it'll be pointless. Erm...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39luckily, I've got a grandson,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41so I know that Muttley's Wacky Races companion
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- is Dick Dastardly. - Dick Dastardly, says Mike.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Let's see if Dick Dastardly's right, and if it is,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48let's see how many people said it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50No red line for you, because you are the high-scorers.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It's right.
0:24:56 > 0:24:5849.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- 49, taking your total up to 99. - APPLAUSE
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Yeah, unlucky, Mike, but that's two whole rounds we got through
0:25:05 > 0:25:08without anybody scoring 100 points on any of the questions,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10so it's been a very, very strong show.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I suspect that the next show, you'll come back fighting.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Let's take a look through the rest of the board.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Orson Welles' villain in The Third Man. Do you know that?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Harry Lime.- Absolutely. It would have scored you 10.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Len Deighton spy played by Michael Caine?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27It's in The Ipcress File.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Um...Harry Palmer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Absolutely right. 11 points.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now, Harry met Sally very famously in the 1989 film,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38but his surname makes this a pointless answer.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Any clue at all?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41The answer is Burns.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Harry Burns.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48No points at all. So very well done to anyone who said that at home.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of round 2,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53our losing pair with their high score of 99,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55it's our newcomers, Mike and Jeff.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Oh, such a strong performance in the first round!
0:25:58 > 0:25:59We will see you again next time.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02We'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Mike, Jeff, thanks very much for playing.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- APPLAUSE - But for the two remaining pairs,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09they're getting one step closer to the final,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and a chance of taking home our jackpot,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15APPLAUSE
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, congratulations, Sue and Clare, Ollie and Dan.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24You are now only one round away from the final
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28which currently stands at £8,750.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Now, obviously only one pair can play for that jackpot,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37and to decide which pair it's going to be,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39you are going to go head-to-head.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41From now on, you are allowed to confer,
0:26:41 > 0:26:42and the first pair to win two questions
0:26:42 > 0:26:44will be playing for that money.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51APPLAUSE
0:26:53 > 0:26:56OK, here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- ..famous Johnsons. - AUDIENCE SNIGGERS
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Richard?- Yeah, we're about to show you five pictures
0:27:03 > 0:27:05of famous people with the surname Johnson.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Can you identify the most obscure? Very best of luck.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Let's reveal our five famous Johnsons.- We have got...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32There we are. Five famous Johnsons.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Sue and Clare, you are the first to go,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37because you played best throughout the show so far.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- THEY WHISPER - C. Let's go for that. The others I think are too...
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yeah. OK, we're not 100%,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46but we think the ones we are 100% on are too obvious.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48So C - Amy Johnson.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52C - Amy Johnson, say Sue and Clare. C - Amy Johnson.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Now, Ollie and Dan, all those Johnsons are yours.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Talk us through them.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Um, we don't know A? - No, we don't know A.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- B is kind of obvious. - B is Boris Johnson,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07D is Michael Johnson, and E, I believe, is Glen Johnson.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I think I'll go with...
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Michael Johnson - D.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You're going to say D - Michael Johnson.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So Sue and Clare have said C is Amy Johnson.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21how many of our 100 people said Amy Johnson.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yes!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:28:31 > 0:28:3340 for Amy Johnson.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Ollie and Dan are saying D is Michael Johnson.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38D - Michael Johnson. Is it right?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40How many people said it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45It is right. Is it going to beat Amy Johnson? Down it goes...
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Yes! It does! Very well done! 31 for Michael Johnson.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51APPLAUSE
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Well played, Ollie and Dan. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Richard?- Yeah, well played, Dan. Very well chosen there.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Now, A is the toughest one on the board.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04She was the wife of Lyndon B Johnson.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05It's Lady Bird Johnson.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Well done if you said that. 3 points. Best answer up there.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12B is Boris Johnson, of course.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Big score for Boris. 89 points.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18There's some face recognition. There's Amy,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20there's Michael, the 400m runner,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and E, Glen Johnson, you're quite right, Dan.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's actually a better score.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26It would have scored you 24. Glen Johnson.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Very well done to anyone who got all five of those.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32OK, so here comes your second question.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Sue and Clare, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37- Yes.- Best of luck.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Here it comes. It concerns...
0:29:40 > 0:29:43literary works with a location in their title.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Literary works with a location in their title. Richard?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48We're going to show you the names of five writers,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52and one of their works which have a location in the UK in their title.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53We have left out that location.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Can you fill them in and pick the most obscure?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58OK, thanks, Richard. So let's reveal our five literary works
0:29:58 > 0:30:01with a location in their title. And here they are. We have got...
0:30:17 > 0:30:18I'll repeat those all one last time.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Now then, Ollie and Dan you go first this time.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31THEY WHISPER
0:30:39 > 0:30:44We are going for the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50Canterbury Tales. Canterbury say Ollie and Dan. Now, Sue and Clare.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I think we are going to go for The Tailor Of Gloucester.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55At the Tailor Of Gloucester say Sue and Clare.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57We have Canterbury and Gloucester.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Ollie and Dan's said Canterbury for the Canterbury Tales.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Let's see if that's right and how many said it, if it is.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06It's right.
0:31:06 > 0:31:0973. That's a high score.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10APPLAUSE
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Sue and Clare have gone for Beatrix Potter,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15The Tailor of Gloucester.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Let's see if Gloucester is right and if it is, how any people said Gloucester.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Absolutely right.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Very well done.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Down it goes. Look at that. 11!
0:31:27 > 0:31:28APPLAUSE
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Well done, Sue and Clare, that's what you have to do.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36After two questions, you are drawing, one-all.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Game on now, isn't it? Let's fill in the rest, you'll probably be able to fill these in.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- The Jane Austen novel?- Mansfield. - Mansfield Park, absolutely.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45That would have scored 36.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46- George Orwell?- Wigan.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Yeah, the Road To Wigan Pier, that would have scored you 30.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52The best answer on the board, the Tailor Of Gloucester was a good one
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- but better than that is the Fair Maid Of?- I don't know.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59It's The Fair Maid Of Perth. It would have scored nine points,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01a very good answer.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06OK, thanks very much indeed. Here is your third question and it concerns.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Richard?- We're going to give you five clues to facts about the American Wild West
0:32:14 > 0:32:18in the 19th century. Very, very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Thanks very much, indeed. Let's reveal our five clues to facts
0:32:21 > 0:32:23about the wild West and here they come.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59There we are, five clues to facts about the Wild West. Sue and Clare,
0:32:59 > 0:33:01once again, you go first.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05We think we know a few but the one we are going to go for is
0:33:05 > 0:33:08the man who killed Jesse James, Wyatt Earp.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Wyatt Earp, say Sue and Clare.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Now then, Ollie and Dan? The board is yours.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I'm going to have to leave this one up to Ollie, to be honest.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23I know a couple of them. I'm going to enter and answer for the same question,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25it was Robert Ford who killed Jesse James.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Robert Ford killed Jesse James. It's like a trial.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29LAUGHTER
0:33:31 > 0:33:33What is it, one of the men before us.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39Sorry, OK. Robert Ford. So, Sue and Clare have gone Wyatt Earp.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Let's see if that's right and if it is how the people said it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Oh!
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Oh, It's looking good, Ollie.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52All it has to be is correct, Ollie
0:33:52 > 0:33:56and you are through to the final. Robert Ford, is it right?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Absolutely right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Down it goes, down it goes, a good answer, look at that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Down to seven. Fantastic!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Ollie and Dan, you've done it,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16pulled it out of the bag, second time in the head-to-head
0:34:16 > 0:34:19and you have done it after three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Very well done.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24That's great teamwork, Dan aced the last question, Ollie aces this one. You're through to the final.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29Yeah, the 2007 film, the Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Your answer is all there in the title. Let's look at the rest.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- The October 1881 gunfight was the gunfight at...- OK Corral.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Quite a big scorer, though, 50 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- The partner of Butch Cassidy? - Sundance Kid.- Absolutely right,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45that would have scored 77.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- The medical profession of Doc Holliday?- Urologist?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51LAUGHTER
0:34:51 > 0:34:57He was not a urologist, he was a dentist. That would have scored you 11 points.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02And the best and is on the board is the rancher who gave his name to unbranded cattle.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04What do you think? Maverick.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- Oh!- Yeah, a good answer, isn't it? One point that would have got you.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- What a great name.- Yeah, that's where Maverick comes from.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15There we are. I never knew that. Did anyone know that?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Of course you didn't or you would have said it.- Yes.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18LAUGHTER
0:35:18 > 0:35:19And we would be winning!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23There we are, Maverick. Wow! Brilliant, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Sue and Clare.
0:35:27 > 0:35:34Oh, you've played so well today. A pointless answer in Round One, exemplary low scoring all the way.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38I'm afraid this is the end of your Pointless road. It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Thank you so much for playing, great contestants. Sue and Clare.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44APPLAUSE
0:35:44 > 0:35:47But for Ollie and Dan it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Congratulations, Ollie and Dan, you fought off all the competition and
0:35:54 > 0:35:56you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Very well done, you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:04 > 0:36:09and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £8,750.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:36:13 > 0:36:17You nailed it, very, very low scoring. Are you confident?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- As long as it's something we've heard of.- OK.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Or we can have an intelligent guess at.- Well, as you know,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26they are always tough these last rounds. Anything can come up
0:36:26 > 0:36:29but it might be something you are good at. Very, very, best of luck.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32The rules are very simple, to win that money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Do that and you will go home with that jackpot. First, you have to choose a category
0:36:36 > 0:36:38and you have five choices. They are.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- That's interesting.- What do you think? Planets?
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- I thinking with your physicist I think we are going to have to go for planets.- Let's have planets, yeah.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- We'll go for planets.- I think Ollie's right.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Planets plays right into your physicistness hands.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01LAUGHTER
0:37:01 > 0:37:05OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:05 > 0:37:09to name as many of the moons of Saturn as they could. Richard?
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Yeah, according to NASA's official website there are 53 naturally occurring satellites of Saturn,
0:37:14 > 0:37:20or 53 moons as of October 2012. Can you give us a pointless answer? Very, very, best of luck.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29All you need win the jackpot of £8,750 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Are you ready?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37The only one I know is Titan.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Straight off the back, Ganymede. - Yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- IO.- Yeah.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Maybe some random group sounding things.- Like Ramales.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52No, they tend to be Greek, Aristotle.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56I think Titan is too obvious. It's not going to be pointless.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59There's no point wasting a punt on that and just getting it correct.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- What did you say?- Titan is not going to be pointless.- Really?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05If anyone knows a moon of Saturn, it's going to be that one.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- IO, Ganymede.- If you really can't think of another one, then put Titan.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12We might as well use the last. Something might pop in there.
0:38:12 > 0:38:1420 seconds.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Ten seconds.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Right... IO Ganymede.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Let's go for, erm...
0:38:35 > 0:38:40OK, time is up. We were looking for the moons of Saturn. I now need your three answers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Archimedes.- We'll go for Archimedes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Archimedes.- IO.- And Ganymede. - And Ganymede.
0:38:45 > 0:38:52OK, there are your three answers. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- IO.- Yeah, I would agree.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We'll pop IO last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Archimedes, I would say.- Archimedes. We'll put Archimedes first,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02IO last and Ganymede in the middle.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06OK, let's pop goes up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17So we were looking for the moons of Saturn. Archimedes, you said was your least confident answer.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Only one of these needs to be pointless, remember, to win the jackpot of £8,750.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25Let's just think about that for a moment. What would you do with £8,750, Ollie?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Well, erm, I'm not sure how confident we are but if...
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- We'd blow a lot of it going inter railing, travelling around Europe and stuff like that.- Yeah.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- In the summer, sometime. - Dan, anything else?
0:39:37 > 0:39:43There's a skydiving course you can take in California which has always taken my eye.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I'm quite into adrenalin sports. I think I probably plump for that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Maybe that, OK. Very best of luck, let's see Archimedes, your first answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Let's see if that's right and see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Archimedes.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Oh! Bad luck. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06You only have two more shots at today's jackpot. We are looking for the moons of Saturn.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Your next answer was Ganymede. This has to be pointless
0:40:09 > 0:40:12for you to win that jackpot of £8,750. Let's see how
0:40:12 > 0:40:14many people said, Ganymede.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Oh!
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- Oh, That was unexpected.- Yeah. Hopefully it's Jupiter, or I'm some form of idiot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. Everything is now riding on IO.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38We are looking for the moons of Saturn. Your third answer, IO.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41You thought was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. This is it,
0:40:44 > 0:40:49everything rides on this. For £8,750, is IO right and, if it is,
0:40:49 > 0:40:51how many people said it?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55No!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57APPLAUSE
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Well, I tell you what, you came up with three perfectly good sounding answers.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10That is half the battle. I was impressed. Unfortunately, though,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:13 > 0:41:18which means you didn't win today's jackpot of £8,750, which rolls onto the next show.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22You have been brilliant contestants and you did get our pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:28 > 0:41:33- Richard.- Unlucky, guys, you're quite right Ganymede and IO, both moons of Jupiter.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Archimedes, not a moon anywhere. There is a crater on our moon called Archimedes
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- but it's not a moon. - That's what I was thinking of.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Yeah. Now, you did mention a moon of Saturn while you were talking.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Titan, yeah. If you had said Titan...
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- No.- Would have scored 28 points.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53LAUGHTER
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's take a look through some of the pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59You were looking for the Greek and Roman words that you could guess.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02There are a few you could have guessed here. Let's take a look.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Very well done if you said any of those. Unlucky, guys, I hope there's nothing there you recognise.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you but it's been brilliant having you both on the show.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Ollie and Dan didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:42:36 > 0:42:40rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £9,750.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41APPLAUSE
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
