0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the quiz show were obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:31 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number one. - I'm Mike, this is Ian.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43We both met at Oxford University.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- I'm from Worcester and he's from Swansea.- Thanks very much.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number two.- I'm Rackie.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52This is my sister Emma and we come from West Berkshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Couple number three.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Mike and this is my brother Jeff.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We're both originally from the East End of London.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And our fourth and final couple.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02My name is Owen and this is my wife Jane
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and we're from Lampeter in West Wales.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Thank you very much. These, ladies and gentlemen, are our contestants.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08APPLAUSE
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you as the show goes on.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19With a cranium so jam-packed with of interesting facts,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21it's amazing he can lift his head off the desk.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23He is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hiya.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26CHEERING
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- How are you? Are you well? - I'm very well.- Excellent.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We've only got one returning pair. It should be a good show though.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- We've got a nice jackpot building up, don't we?- Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We got proper, really good, old school Pointless question
0:01:40 > 0:01:43for question one. The sort of thing that people...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Anyone who's revised for Pointless will do well in question one.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Excellent. I look forward. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50All our questions on Pointless
0:01:50 > 0:01:52have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Our contestants need to find obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Everyone is trying, of course,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59to find a pointless answer which none of 100 people give
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05As Richard said, nobody won the jackpot last time
0:02:05 > 0:02:09so we add another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13CHEERING
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless..
0:02:23 > 0:02:25In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:25 > 0:02:29and there is to be no conferring. Whichever pair has the highest score
0:02:29 > 0:02:31at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32So try and make sure that's not you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40World Geography. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:40 > 0:02:43who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And who ever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55We give 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03..as they could. Richard.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We're looking for any country of the world that is not
0:03:06 > 0:03:09a member of the EU beginning with one of those six letters.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11As always, by country we mean a sovereign state that is
0:03:11 > 0:03:13a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Very best of luck and we are looking
0:03:15 > 0:03:17for the names as they are commonly known in English.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25OK, so, any non-EU member states starting with any of those letters.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Welcome, Mike. Mike Y, you are.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yeah, Mike Y, not Mikey.- Not Mikey.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- No.- I won't be going there. - No, don't.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Mike, so, you met each other at university.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Have you now left university?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yeah, we've left university
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and gone on to try and get proper jobs but obviously...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41What sort of proper job are you going for?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- I'm a research analyst at the moment for a local IT software company.- OK.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- But overall maybe your world geography is...- It's reasonable.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52..enough to keep you in the game, do you think, after this round?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I would hope so.- OK, well, it's over to you.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm going to say,
0:03:57 > 0:03:58"Uganda."
0:03:58 > 0:04:01"Uganda," says Mike. Uganda. Let's see if that's right and,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Uganda."
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Absolutely right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:1225.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13APPLAUSE
0:04:17 > 0:04:19That's a solid start, Mike. Well done.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The main exports of Uganda are coffee, fish and fish products.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27What do you think fish products are?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Like Billy Bass the little singing fish.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Now then, Emma, we come to you. Welcome to the show.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37You and Rackie are sisters. Where are you from, West Berkshire?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- West Berkshire, yeah. - And what do you do, Emma?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- I'm a student at university. - And what are you reading?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I'm reading English, drama and education.- Very good indeed.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Of those three,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50which is the direction you're probably going to go in at the end?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Probably the drama side of things, I think.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54How is your geography?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's shocking.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Luckily, Rackie's geography is brilliant.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So, no pressure.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04But I, yeah,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think I'm going to...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I'm going to go for the P.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14And I hope it's a country not in the EU
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and I'm going to say,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17"Papua New Guinea."
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I think you're going to be all right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Papua New Guinea is not in the EU.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23LAUGHTER
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's have a look and see if that's right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Papua New Guinea, is it right, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Absolutely right.
0:05:35 > 0:05:379.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38APPLAUSE
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Very well done, Emma.
0:05:39 > 0:05:419 for Papua New Guinea.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Well done, Emma. A very good start to the show.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It occupies one half of New Guinea.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Jeff, welcome back.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Tell us what happened last time.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We did all right in the first round.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56We got through the first round but then Tom, Dick and Harry got us.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Nothing wrong with that round.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It was a great round, I thought, Tom, Dick and Harry.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Famous Toms.- Celebrated Harrys.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- And well-known Dicks. - Lots of well-known Dicks.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Nearly got that out, didn't we? - Never mind. You are back today.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And guess what? The answer to all your prayers - non-EU countries.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Right, I got an answer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's a bit of a chancy one but I think it's worth taking.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I'm going to go
0:06:19 > 0:06:21East Timor.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23East Timor. Let's see if it's right and, if it is,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's right.
0:06:30 > 0:06:329 is our lowest score so far.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Down it goes. Look at that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:371. Very well done indeed.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39APPLAUSE
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Very good. East Timor. - Brilliant. Well played, Jeff.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So far we have had an Oxford University versus
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Cambridge University versus the East End of London.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53And the East End has won with flying colours.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Yeah, East Timor and Timor comes from the Malayan Indonesian
0:06:57 > 0:06:59word for East as well, so it is East East, essentially.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Now then, Jane.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Welcome to the show. Where are you from, Jane?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I'm originally from Kent but in Lampeter now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08What do you do in Lampeter?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'm a graduate support officer at the university.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Remember, we are looking for non-EU countries beginning with
0:07:13 > 0:07:16the letters E, U, R, O or P.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17I'm hoping, being from Wales,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I understand the language is spoke there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I'm going to go for
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Patagonia.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24"Patagonia," says Jane. Let's see if that's right and,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Patagonia."
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Bad luck, Jane.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Unfortunately an incorrect answer which means you score
0:07:36 > 0:07:38the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yeah, sorry, Jane. It's not a country, I'm afraid, Patagonia.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44It's part of South America, largely in Argentina.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It sounded a good answer though, Patagonia.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's got the ring of a country to it, doesn't it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Thank you. We are halfway through the round.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Let's look at the scores as they stand.
0:07:53 > 0:07:551, our best score of that pass. Jeff,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58very well done. Up to 9 where we find Emma and Rackie.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Up to 25 where we find Mike Y and Ian. And then, I'm afraid,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05a long way up to 100, where we find Owen and Jane.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, Owen, best of luck with the next pass.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09We need a very low score from you.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11We'll come back down the line now,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13can the second players take their place at the podium.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20OK, so we're looking for non-EU countries starting with
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- the letters E, U, R, O or P. Owen.- Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- What's your biggest hobby?- I like making music in my spare time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30What sort of music do you make?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Drum and bass but I make a bit of everything.- That's amazing.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Do you have a name or do you just... - I do have a name, yeah. Zentrix.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Zentrix.- I love a bit of Zentrix, do you?- Yeah!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- That brilliant song that goes... - HE BEATBOXES
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- That's it!- T-k-tsk, t-k-tsk, t-k-tsk, t-k-tsk, dook-k-k-k-k-k...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49HE IMITATES AN EXPLOSION
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I'm going to be whistling that all evening.- Oh, yes, my friend! Zentrix.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- How's your geography? - It's not too bad.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Most of the answers I had are gone
0:08:58 > 0:09:02so I'll have to...well, yeah, have a risky one, I think.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I don't even know if it's a country. Maybe I just made it up in my head.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Um, Rajiqistan?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- This is fun.- We're already on 100, it doesn't really matter, does it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Rajiqistan!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14HE LAUGHS
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Sounds like something on the back of a Cheeky Girls album,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24something they might have made up! "Come with me to Rajiqistan."
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Let's see if it exists. How many people said Rajiqistan?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'm sorry. But that's a brilliant country.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Why not?- It's a much better name than some of these other names.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Yeah. I had to take a risk, we were already on 100.- Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Anyway, bad luck, Owen. 100 points is what you score for that
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and that takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Yes, there's a Tajikistan and a Rajasthan in India as well.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55"Rajiqistan" is a drum and bass DJ from Glasgow.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I knew where he was from though! - To be fair, that's Rajiqi STAN!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So it's Rajiqi Stan.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Mike, how are you on geography? - Not too bad.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Of course the pressure's off now, if I can say.- It is a little bit.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Even if you score 100 points you're still through to the next round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- So I think I will...have a punt now.- I tell you what,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16there are definitely going to be some pointless answers out there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I think it's a country. I'm going to say Eritrea.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Eritrea, says Mike. No red line for you
0:10:21 > 0:10:23as you're through whatever happens.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Let's see if that is right, Eritrea and if it is, how many said it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3912 for Eritrea, 12. Takes you total up to 13. Well played, Mike.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Well done, Mike. Very solid again.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Eritrea, it's Africa's second newest country after South Sudan.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Now then, Rackie.- Yup.- Rackie. You're from West Berkshire.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Yes.- And what do you do?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm currently a student at the University of Bristol.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Bristol, and what are you studying there?- Studying zoology.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- Do you have pets yourself? - Yes. Quite a few.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- You have a zoo of your own? - Almost, yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- How many pets at the last count? - About 25.- Amazing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You're through to the next round whatever happens,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17that's the good news so take as many risks as you like.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I'm going to go for a "P" country and say Palau.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Palau. Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 said it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Very well done.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Very well done indeed, Rackie!
0:11:38 > 0:11:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:39 > 0:11:43That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46takes the total up to £10,000.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Five figures, it scores you nothing
0:11:48 > 0:11:49and it leaves your total at 9.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53A very impressive single-figure score. Brilliant, Rackie, well done.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Brilliant play, Rackie, absolutely one of those familiar pointless
0:11:56 > 0:11:57answers that we quite often have.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Now then, Ian. You read geography.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Well, yeah, so this should be a good round.- Should be a doddle, surely.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07We've had a pointless answer. You'll have to follow that up.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- What do you do now? - I currently work in online retail.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- What do you do when you're not working, Ian?- I like my sport.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Play a lot of football.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I used to do archery but now I just coach my dad who is
0:12:20 > 0:12:24a multiple British and European blind archery champion.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Wow, that's brilliant.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- APPLAUSE - Good for him.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- OK, anyway, how is your geography? - Not as good as you might think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I've got a couple of answers that I'm toying between.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Well, you're through whatever happens. Why not have a bit of fun?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- May as well go for "E"...- (Let's have another pointless answer.)
0:12:44 > 0:12:46..and go Equatorial Guinea.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49There's no red line for you, you're already through so let's see,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Equatorial Guinea, did anyone say it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58There we are, Equatorial Guinea, very popular pointless answer.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Have people started to learn about it though?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Oh, two people!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- APPLAUSE - Very well done, great score, Ian,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07very well done indeed.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- 2 takes your total up to 27. - Well played, that's a terrific score,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13actually the best score you could've come up with
0:13:13 > 0:13:17because we've had the best three answers you could possibly have got
0:13:17 > 0:13:19between you, so very well done, everyone.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Let's look at those lowest three answers.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23One pointless answer which was Palau which Rackie gave us.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Jeff gave as East Timor. There's El Salvador, should have been 2
0:13:26 > 0:13:29but Equatorial Guinea as well. Brilliantly played by everyone.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Some of the other lower scorers -
0:13:31 > 0:13:33United Arab Emirates would've scored you 5.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- The USA would only have scored 8.- They're not going to like that!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Philippines would've scored you nine, as would Ukraine
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and Papua New Guinea, Uzbekistan, 10.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Rwanda, 16. Oman, 21. Russia and Peru both would've scored you 31
0:13:46 > 0:13:50and the highest three answers were Ethiopia, 36. Egypt, 37
0:13:50 > 0:13:56- and Uruguay, top of the pile on 45. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58At the end of our first round the pair who'll be leaving us
0:13:58 > 0:14:00with a high score of 200...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Oh, I'm sorry. Owen and Jane.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07And I was torn between Patagonia and Uzbekistan as well.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10But I wasn't too sure on the Uzbekistan.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Anyway, you've learned a lesson. - I have.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We've learned several lessons in fact.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Patagonia - not a country, does exist.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Rajiqistan - not a country, doesn't exist.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Jane and Owen, we'll see you again next time,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24we'll look forward to that. Meantime, thank you for playing.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Owen and Jane. - APPLAUSE
0:14:27 > 0:14:31But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Obviously there's only going to be room for two pairs
0:14:37 > 0:14:40in our head-to-head round so one pair sadly will be leaving us
0:14:40 > 0:14:42at the end of this round.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, Rackie and Emma. That was just fantastic, wasn't it?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Was a pretty good round for me. - Yeah, very good.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53A lovely low-scoring total. Really very good. Ian and Mike, not so bad.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- 29.- I feel embarrassed.- Uganda. - So embarrassed.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well, you're through, you're still here.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02And Mike and Jeff. It was this round last time that saw you off.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- BOTH:- It was.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How you feeling?- Now that we've got to this round,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08we just want to go that bit further.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11We just hope there's not another question on Tom, Dick and Harry.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- It's not going to happen. - Or their relatives.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It's going to be fine.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Our category of Round Two is...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26..Theatre. Is this better than Tom, Dick and Harry?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Worse. It's not good.- OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30The best of luck.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Can you decide in your pairs, who's going to go first
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and who's going to go second?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43OK, and our question concerns...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Plays and their Playwrights. Richard.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six plays.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53We need you to tell us the name of the playwright, please.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Give us a nice obscure answer and score fewer points,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but an incorrect answer will score you 100.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Six on each pass so 12 in all to have go at at home. Good luck.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Thanks, Richard. We are looking for
0:16:04 > 0:16:06the playwrights of these famous plays
0:16:06 > 0:16:07and we have got...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'll read those one last time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30There we are, six plays. We need six playwrights.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Mike, you didn't look too excited. - No.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Now you've seen them, how do you feel?- No better.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Theatre. As if you'd pick theatre.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I'm going to go with Midsummer Night's Dream
0:16:43 > 0:16:46and say William Shakespeare.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Shakespeare says Mike for Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many knew that answer?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- That's good.- There we are - 81.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01APPLAUSE
0:17:03 > 0:17:0581.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It is better than 100.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11In that situation, you've just got to get out as unscathed as you can. It's the truth.
0:17:11 > 0:17:18- Only 81.- I know. 19 people didn't know that answer. Extraordinary.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19OK, Rackie?
0:17:19 > 0:17:26I should know these. I recognise a couple of titles and I know who
0:17:26 > 0:17:30wrote A Streetcar Named Desire, but I cannot for the life of me
0:17:30 > 0:17:31remember who it is.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm going to have to guess.
0:17:33 > 0:17:40I'm going to go with Arcadia and say Edgar Allan Poe.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Sorry.- Edgar Allen Poe for Arcadia. Let's see if that right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Bad luck. It was a good shot. I'm afraid that was a wrong answer.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02That scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Sorry, Rackie, as your sister said,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06you did get a pointless answer in the previous round.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.- Now, Jeff.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12This is one of my favourite subjects.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm going to have to have a complete guess.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20I'm going to say Tom Stoppard for Look Back In Anger.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Look Back In Anger. Tom Stoppard, says Jeff.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Did you hear that collective exhalation
0:18:35 > 0:18:39when you picked Look Back In Anger?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43You were very nearly right. I'm afraid you were wrong though.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45LAUGHTER
0:18:45 > 0:18:48100 points is what you score. I'm so sorry, Jeff.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Richard.- Mike, it turns out you're the theatre expert.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:18:55 > 0:18:59The two of you between you just scored a pointless answer
0:18:59 > 0:19:03because Tom Stoppard wrote Arcadia and nobody knew it. Pointless answer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:10- Pointless.- Pointless. Let's go through the rest. Educating Rita.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Willy Russell.- that's right. It would have scored 15. Private Lives?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Terence Rattigan.- Noel Coward. Look Back In Anger?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- John Osborne.- Yup.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It would have scored 8 and a Streetcar Named Desire?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Tennessee Williams.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Absolutely, Tennessee Williams would have scored you 16.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So Arcadia the best answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Let's take a look at the scores. 81! That's a great score.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Mike and Ian, you are looking so strong right now. 81 - brilliant!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Way ahead of the field.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41100 is where we find Jeff and Mike and Rackie and Emma.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43We'll come back down the line.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Can the second players please tale their places at the podium?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK, we're going to put six more plays on the board. Here they come.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53We have got...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'll read all those one last time.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Remember, we are looking for the playwrights who wrote these plays
0:20:10 > 0:20:13and obviously you're going to try to find the one you think
0:20:13 > 0:20:15the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Mike, we need a low score from you. You're the high scorers on 100.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Do you go to the theatre much?- Yeah, every week. Sometimes, I go in.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27LAUGHTER
0:20:29 > 0:20:34I knew quite a few on the first pass. This one, I know one for sure.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37There's one that is eluding me.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I'm going to have to say
0:20:38 > 0:20:41the Importance Of Being Ernest. Oscar Wilde.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Oscar Wilde says Mike for the Importance Of Being Earnest.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There's no red line for you as you're a joint high scorer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Let's see if it's right and,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50if it is, how many of our 100 people said Oscar Wilde.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It is right.
0:20:57 > 0:20:5832.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01APPLAUSE
0:21:01 > 0:21:0332. It takes your total up to 132.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Well played.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08It premiered on Valentine's Day 1895.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Emma, what do you make of this board?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- I know all of them which is great. - This is good.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's a case of choosing the one that will be the lowest scorer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19I wouldn't have thought that
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Arcadia would have been a pointless answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:27Jerusalem, I think I'm going to go for which is Jez Butterworth.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Let's see if it's right and,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33if it is, how many of our 100 people said it and if Jez Butterworth
0:21:33 > 0:21:37gets you below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39How many people said it? Is it right?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Yup, you've done it.- Very well done.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50And it's a pointless answer.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56That's what you need, Emma. Very well done indeed.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02That adds £250 to today's jackpot. It takes the total up to £10,250.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100 points.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Very well done indeed. Richard.- What a team!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09They've both had a pointless answer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- That's one of your bests friend - Jez Butterworth?- He is, yeah.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Will he be happy that he's a pointless answer.- I don't know.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I think he'd have been delighted to have been an answer on the show.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Pointless answer - double delighted!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Ian, we come to you, the last person.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28We are looking for the playwrights of these plays.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30The last time I went to the theatre was probably to watch
0:22:30 > 0:22:34the Chuckle Brothers when I was about eight years old.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Really? Really, really?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Yeah, I'm going to have to say The Caretaker
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and say Scott F Fitzgerald.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Scott F Fitzgerald, says Ian.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51You want to be scoring 50 or less to stay in the game.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Above that red line, we say goodbye to you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Above that red line, you stay.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57F Scott Fitzgerald for The Caretaker.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Let's see if it's right and,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Sorry, mate. I should have known. Mate, I'm so sorry.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12That takes your total to 181. Sorry.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- Sorry. Richard.- Yeah, sorry. It was actually by Harold Pinter.- Oh, yeah.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Of course(!)
0:23:18 > 0:23:22It would have scored you 10 points. Noises Off?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Michael Frayn.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26The wonderful Michael Frayn would have scored 5 points.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27The Crucible?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Um, Arthur Miller.- Arthur Miller. Absolutely right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It would have scored 21 and Waiting For Godot?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Samuel Beckett.- Samuel Beckett and that would have scored 16 points.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Very well done if you said that. The best answer there - Jez Butterworth.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Thanks very much. At the end of Round Two,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44our pair with the highest score who will be leaving us is Ian and Mike.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- You didn't know any of that? - No.- Not a clue.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I knew the second board, but Ian - so bad!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I'm really annoyed. Really, really annoyed at you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Anyway, Ian and Mike, well see you again next time.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Thanks very much for playing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04APPLAUSE
0:24:04 > 0:24:07For the two remaining pairs, things are about to get even more
0:24:07 > 0:24:10exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Congratulation, Rackie and Emma, Jeff and Mike.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You are now only one round away from the final
0:24:19 > 0:24:24and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £10,250.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Only one pair can play for that money and to decide which pair
0:24:31 > 0:24:33it's going to be, you are now going head-to-head.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Mike and Jeff, this is virgin territory for you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43How are you feeling?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46We're up against a strong team so...
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Not one, but two pointless answers between them. One apiece.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Rackie and Emma, how are you feeling?- Nervous.- Surprised.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- But pleased?- Yup. - You've done very well indeed.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00The very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:13 > 0:25:16LAUGHTER
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Richard?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We are about to show you five photographs, now,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22of famous people with their hair in rollers.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Can you identify who they are, please? And pick the most obscure.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Best of luck.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Can't wait. OK, here we go.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Let's reveal our five people with their hair in rollers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33TITTERING
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Why not? And we have got...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01there we are, people with their hair in rollers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Rackie and Emma, you've played best throughout the show so far
0:26:03 > 0:26:05so you get to go first.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Right.- Do you know who E is? - I think that might be Ian McKellen.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- Dressed up.- Does it look a bit like him?- Where going to, erm...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17take a bit of a gamble...
0:26:17 > 0:26:22and say E...is Ian McKellen.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25E, Ian McKellen.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Now then, Mike and Jeff,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30you can talk us through all those people with hair in rollers.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- We'd love to. We use rollers a lot, the two of us, as you can see!- Yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:41I know B is, I think, Kelly Osbourne. I think.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45And C we know is either Beatrice or Eugenie.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48A looks very, very familiar but I can't quite place her.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Which one shall we go for? - B, at least we know.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I don't think we're going to beat E.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Yeah, I think C would be a big score.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Yeah, we'll have to go for B and say Kelly Osbourne.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03B, Kelly Osbourne, say, Mike and Jeff.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So, Rackie and Emma have said that...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09E is Ian McKellen. Let's see if that's right
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:27:11 > 0:27:12said Ian McKellen for E.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Absolutely right.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Wow, 7, very well done indeed!
0:27:23 > 0:27:24APPLAUSE
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Superb. Ian McKellen it was.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Now, then, Mike and Jeff, you have said Kelly Osbourne for B.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Kelly Osbourne. Let's see if Kelly Osbourne's right
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It is Kelly Osbourne.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Is it going to beat 7, though?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Ooh, 39.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Very well done, Rackie and Emma,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49after one question you are up 1-0. Brilliant.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Yeah, unlucky, Mike and Jeff, there's only one answer that would've beaten
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Emma and Rackie's very good score, there, and that is A.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You said she was familiar,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59she's familiar to anyone who watches Strictly.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's Camilla Dallerup.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Would have scored you three points.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Now, C, it's one or the other, isn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08So, is actually quite a low scorer, I think,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10because people couldn't remember which one. What do you reckon?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Beatrice.- Absolutely. That would have scored 26.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15She wore that extraordinary hat to the Royal wedding
0:28:15 > 0:28:18that everyone was talking about. You know, she auctioned off to charity.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Yeah.- £81,000 she gave to charity for that hat.- Really?- Yeah.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26And now D, guess who she is. It's Shirley Bassey. Shirley Bassey.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Some people in the audience got that. Would have scored you 18 points.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Thank you very much, Richard, for that. There we are.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Here comes our second question.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Mike and Jeff, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to give you five sets of initials, here,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46for films directed by Stephen Spielberg.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Can you pick the most obscure?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52So, let's reveal our five initials of Stephen Spielberg films
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and here they are. We have got...
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I'll read those all again without the dates.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Now then, Mike and Jeff, you go first this time.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20THEY WHISPER
0:29:22 > 0:29:24We're going to go for...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27SL, which is Schindler's list.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Schindler's list, say Mike and Jeff, for SL.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35- Rackie and Emma, how are you doing on this board?- Oh.- We know two.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41- J, jaws.- Yes.- TCP... - "The" something.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43"The" is a good guess!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47We're going to go for the last one
0:29:47 > 0:29:51and say Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56So, we have Schindler's list versus Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Mike and Jeff went for Schindler's list, SL, let's see if that's right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Let's see how many people said Schindler's list.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Ooh, it's good. 19, very well done, Mike and Jeff.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12APPLAUSE
0:30:16 > 0:30:17OK, let's find out,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Rackie and Emma said Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Is it right and how many people said it?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It is right.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Mike and Jeff obviously need this point to stay in the game.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Oh, and they've got it! They've got it! Very well done.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33APPLAUSE
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Great!
0:30:37 > 0:30:38Very well played.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41After two questions, Mike and Jeff, Rackie and Emma,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- you are drawn 1-all. Richard?- It's a cracking head-to-head, isn't it?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Two very strong teams, here. Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51J, as you rightly say, is Jaws. Would have scored 40 points.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Now, WH, took me ages to get this one as well.- War Horse.- War Horse.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Yeah, War Horse. Isn't it weird how difficult that looks?
0:30:58 > 0:31:0215 that would have got you. The best answer on the board is TCP.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Do you know that? Starred Oprah Winfrey.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07- The Colour Purple.- Oh, yes!
0:31:07 > 0:31:10The Colour Purple. Would have scored you 8 points.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Very well done, if you got that one at home.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Thanks very much, Richard. So, here comes your third question.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17The decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and plays for that massive jackpot.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22OK, best of luck, here it comes. It concerns...
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Richard?- It can't all be celebrities with their hair in curlers.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33We're going to give you five clues, now, to facts about the Trojan War.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35The team who comes up with the most obscure answer
0:31:35 > 0:31:39is going to go through to the final. Very, very best of luck, both teams.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about the Trojan War
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and here they come. We have got...
0:32:01 > 0:32:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22There we are. Five clues to facts about Troy.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Now then, Rackie and Emma, you are to go first.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29THEY WHISPER
0:32:32 > 0:32:37I think the character played by Orlando Bloom was Paris.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Paris, played by Orlando Bloom in the film Troy. Mike and Jeff?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47I think the second one, I'm pretty sure that's Helen of Troy.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52The Greek warrior was Achilles and I think, Helen of Troy?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Let's go for that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Yeah, we'll go for Helen of Troy,
0:32:54 > 0:32:59for the woman whose face launched 1,000 ships.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01OK, you're going to say Helen of Troy.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Helen of Troy, whose face launched 1,000 ships.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10So, Rackie and Emma, you have said the role that Orlando Bloom played
0:33:10 > 0:33:12in the 2004 film Troy was Paris.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Let's see if that's right
0:33:13 > 0:33:16and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. Paris.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22It's right. Very well done, Rackie.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Oh, with its own low score. Look at that, 11, very well done indeed!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Well said, Rackie. Well trusted, Emma.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Mike and Jeff, you have said that the person described by Marlowe
0:33:36 > 0:33:39as the face that launched 1,000 ships was Helen of Troy.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Let's see if that's right
0:33:40 > 0:33:42and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45This will decide who goes through to the next round
0:33:45 > 0:33:47and who says goodbye to us at the end of this.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Absolutely right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57APPLAUSE
0:33:57 > 0:33:5836.
0:34:00 > 0:34:0536. Two good answers but after three questions, Rackie and Emma,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07you are through to the final, 2-1. Very well done.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Yes, well played, everybody, there. Let's take a look through the rest.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13There's a couple of answers that would have seen you to the final.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16The first of which is, "The ruins of Troy are in this modern-day country".
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Do you know that?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- Turkey?- It is Turkey, yeah. Northwest Turkey, they think.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23It would've scored you 5 points.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26The Greek warrior, absolutely, was Achilles.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Played by Brad Pitt in the same film as Orlando Bloom was Paris.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Would have scored you 62 points, so it would have done you no good.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34And the commander of the Greek army
0:34:34 > 0:34:36would have seen you through to the jackpot round as well.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Agamemnon. Agamemnon would have scored 8 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41The best answer on that board is Turkey.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:44 > 0:34:48I'm afraid, it's Mike and Jeff. Oh, but you fought valiantly!
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I'm afraid, though, defeated by Rackie and Emma.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Whoa, when they put their heads together they are unstoppable!
0:34:55 > 0:34:56- Very strong team.- Yeah.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Anyway, listen, very, well done to Rackie and Emma.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Mike and Jeff, you've done so well to come through. In both games
0:35:02 > 0:35:04you played so well and a brilliant head-to-head.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- Sorry to say goodbye to you now, but thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10APPLAUSE
0:35:10 > 0:35:13But for Rackie and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Massive congratulations, Rackie and Emma, you fought off all the competition
0:35:21 > 0:35:24and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35At the end of today's show, the jackpot, partly thanks to you,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38stands at a magnificent £10,250.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40APPLAUSE
0:35:43 > 0:35:45You've done Bristol and Cambridge universities proud.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47We've had Playwrights and their Plays,
0:35:47 > 0:35:48we've had World Geography,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51we've had people with their hair in rollers, Trojan War,
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Stephen Spielberg, I mean,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55all sorts of things you've come sailing through and you've scored
0:35:55 > 0:35:58a couple of pointless answers on the way, so very, very well done.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Disney. Disney films would be great.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05What, just take the pressure off a bit? Disney.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- It's all been quite highbrow, hasn't it, so far?- Yeah.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Anyway, best of luck. Now the rules are very simple,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12to win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Do that and you will go home with that jackpot of £10,250.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Firstly, you've got to choose a category
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and here are the five you can choose from. They are...
0:36:28 > 0:36:33- BOTH: Hollywood actresses.- Really? Good. Unanimous.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:36:35 > 0:36:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Charlize Theron films
0:36:41 > 0:36:42as they could. Richard?
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Yeah, we're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:46 > 0:36:49for which Charlize Theron has received an acting credit
0:36:49 > 0:36:51up to the beginning of October, 2012, please.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54As always, no TV films, short films or documentaries,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57but voice performances do count. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:00 > 0:37:03and all you need to win that £10,250 is just for
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- BOTH: Yes.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Your time starts now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- OK, do you know any?- She was... Do you not?- Crash.- She was...
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Wasn't she? No. Oh, no, that was the other one.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20She was in Monster, um...
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- She was in The Italian Job but I think that won't be pointless.- OK.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26OK. Any voiceovers? Voices that she's done?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I can't think of any voices that she's done.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32She was in Hancock with Will Smith.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Oh, yes, yes, that's a good one.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Not many people will say that, will they?- Go for that. I don't know.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- I can't think of any.- Monster?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Yes, she won an Oscar for that, though, so...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I can remember the dress she was wearing at the Oscars,
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- but I can't remember what it was for.- It was for Monster.- Monster?
0:37:49 > 0:37:50- Um...- Great.- I can't think of any.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Those are the only three that I can think of.- We've got three, um...
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Oh, she was in a new film, Snow White And The Huntsman, and she was
0:37:58 > 0:38:01in something else recently as well, but I can't remember what it was.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Ten seconds left.- Shall we go for Snow White And The Huntsman?- Yes.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Hancock.- And...- Monster?- Yes.- Can't think of any voiceover things?
0:38:09 > 0:38:14- Nope.- I think that's all I can think of. No Disney?- No.- Ha-ha!
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Your time is up. We were looking for Charlize Theron films.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- I now need your three answers. - OK, we're going to go for Monster...
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Monster...- ..Hancock...- Hancock...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26..and Snow White And The Huntsman.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28..and Snow White And The Huntsman. Now of those three,
0:38:28 > 0:38:31which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- BOTH: Hancock.- OK, Hancock we'll put last. Your least likely?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Monster.- You think Monster? OK, let's pop those up on the board
0:38:39 > 0:38:41in that order and here they come. We have got...
0:38:46 > 0:38:49OK, we were looking for Charlize Theron films.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Monster was your least-confident answer.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You only have to find one pointless answer to be able to win
0:38:54 > 0:38:57that jackpot of £10,250, so let's find out,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00is Monster right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Down it goes... Oh, 18.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15APPLAUSE
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- 18, not bad. That was the one she won an Oscar for.- I think so, yes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28OK, £10,250. Rackie, what will you be doing with that if you win?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Um...I've just started doing some video blogging
0:39:34 > 0:39:39and I'd quite like to maybe buy a bit more equipment for that,
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- but I'd also quite like to go to Disney World.- Very good,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45well, with that amount of money, you ought to be able to do both,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- I'd have thought.- Yeah. - Emma, how about you?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I really would love a new mixer for our kitchen because it's...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- For a desk, I was thinking... - No, not that.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55No, really just for baking, so, um...
0:39:55 > 0:39:57We are looking for Charlize Theron films,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00let's hope nobody said your next answer, Snow White And The Huntsman.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02This has to be right, has to be pointless,
0:40:02 > 0:40:04for you to win that jackpot of £10,250.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Let's see how many people said Snow White And The Huntsman.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12OK, well, it's right.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Monster took us all the way down to 18,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Snow White And The Huntsman is
0:40:16 > 0:40:18now taking us down through the 30s,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20through the 20s into the teens.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Oh, there we are at single figures.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- 5. - APPLAUSE
0:40:27 > 0:40:325. This is all moving very much in the right direction, I would say.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Everything is now riding on your last answer.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39We're looking for Charlize Theron films.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41We have to hope that absolutely nobody said your third
0:40:41 > 0:40:43and final answer which was Hancock.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46This was the one you didn't have any argument about
0:40:46 > 0:40:47which should be your last answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- You both said this should be the one to put last.- Yeah, hopefully.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Very, very best of luck.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so for £10,250,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59let's find out, is Hancock a pointless answer?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, it's right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Monster took us down to 18,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09then Snow White And The Huntsman took us all away down to 5.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Hancock now taking us down
0:41:10 > 0:41:13into the teens, into single figures.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Oh, no.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:24 > 0:41:26pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:41:26 > 0:41:29today's jackpot of £10,250, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You have been great contestants. You do, of course, get to take home
0:41:32 > 0:41:34our Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Yeah, you played terrifically throughout, so tough luck there.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45The only other film you mentioned, The Italian Job,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- that would've scored you 9 points, so...- I've thought of another one.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Which is?- Prometheus.- Would have scored 12 points.- That's OK.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Amazing. She's done a lot of films,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56there's only five pointless answers. She chooses her films very well
0:41:56 > 0:41:58because a lot of them are very memorable, but we'll go through
0:41:58 > 0:42:01the five pointless ones, see if you got any of these at home.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05She was in Battle In Seattle,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08about the World Trade Organisation protests with Woody Harrelson,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Head In The Clouds with Penelope Cruz, In The Valley Of Elah with
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Tommy Lee Jones from 2007 - that would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17She was Britt Ekland opposite Geoffrey Rush as Peter Sellers
0:42:17 > 0:42:19in The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers
