0:00:24 > 0:00:28Thank you very much. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33Welcome to Pointless, where you are rewarded for knowing obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44- Couple number one.- I'm Tom, this is my wife Lisa. We're from Manchester.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Lucy. This is my partner Rod, from Chesham.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Sara from Swindon. This is my pal, Jimmy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- And couple number four.- I'm Steve, this is Dave. We work together.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Thanks very much. We'll talk to you more throughout the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13That just leaves one more person. Half-man, half-search engine. Known to his friends as Roogle,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- he's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- CHEERING - Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon.- Isn't it exciting? - Lovely. Show 500.- Yeah.- That's why we have 500 on the podiums there.
0:01:27 > 0:01:34- Everybody here has been on before. - Yeah.- They've been specially invited. I'll tell you what we did.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40We went through every jackpot loser of the last 499 shows, we added up their totals
0:01:40 > 0:01:45and that's why you find these total losers in front of you now. I'm joking!
0:01:45 > 0:01:51These people scored the lowest points without winning a jackpot. The best non-winners we've ever had.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57So it's going to be an absolutely belting show, I think. 500. How about that?
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- Very exciting. I'll get my present out later. What have you got me? - Well, nothing other than to say
0:02:03 > 0:02:09- on a personal note, thank you for the last 500 shows. It's been a pleasure.- Oh, Richard! Thank you!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Now all our questions, as ever, have been put to 100 people.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Everyone tries to find a pointless answer that no one gave.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34Because this is our 500th show, every time that happens we'll add £500 to the jackpot.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41Also because today's show is special such a special one, today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54OK, in this round, I take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01The pair with the highest score will be eliminated. OK, our first category in this special show is...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Words.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending in "..low"
0:03:18 > 0:03:21as they could. "..low", Richard?
0:03:21 > 0:03:28Any word in the Oxford Dictionary that ends "..low". No hyphenated words, no proper nouns.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- We also won't accept the word "low" itself. Very best of luck to all four teams.- Thanks, Richard.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Lisa and Tom, you all drew lots and today you are going to go first. So, Tom,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45the big question is can you take me through your last Pointless experience?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Er, it was quite traumatic, I'll level with you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:57- We'd done quite well, got through to the final and then came horribly close.- Two, one, one.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- Manic Street Preachers singles. - One hardcore Manics fan ruined our lives.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- But we've found him now and... - He won't be answering any more polls, will he? Muhahahaha!
0:04:08 > 0:04:14- Also, the jackpot was colossal, wasn't it?- It was £20,250,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18which at the time was the joint highest it had ever been, I think.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24OK, well, a chance to do something to maybe just put that memory behind you.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Now a word ending in "..low".
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yep.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I'm going to go with fallow.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Fallow, says Tom. Is it right? How many of our 100 said fallow?
0:04:44 > 0:04:4528.
0:04:48 > 0:04:56- 28 for fallow.- Yeah, it can be a colour or to leave a field without crops in it for a year
0:04:56 > 0:04:58to let it regain its nutrients.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Lucy...- Hello!- Welcome back. Tell us about your time on Pointless.
0:05:02 > 0:05:09We did quite well until the final and then it was rather disappointing at that point.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15We had Who Do You Think You Are celebrities and got two and then one and one. So, yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Not quite the desired outcome. - OK, well now,
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- a word ending in "..low". - I'm going to go with bungalow.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Bungalow, says Lucy. Is that right? How many of our 100 said bungalow?
0:05:36 > 0:05:3715!
0:05:38 > 0:05:4115 for bungalow.
0:05:42 > 0:05:49Typically, a one-storey house. Silvio Berlusconi lives in a bunga-bungalow.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Plenty of stories in that house!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- Now Jimmy...- Hello there.- Welcome back. What's your war story?
0:05:57 > 0:06:04Sara carried me the whole way and it got to the final and I thought I should prove my worth.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09You wanted Top 40 singles by 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14The only three I could think of at the time were four, one and one.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh, it's agonisingly close. - And embarrassing.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23All at the same time. Now then, Jimmy, words ending "..low".
0:06:23 > 0:06:29- I think I'll go for a fairly long one. Bedfellow.- Bedfellow. Sounds good to me. Is it right?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31How many of our 100 said it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It is right.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46That's a feeling you're familiar with, Jimmy. It scored one!
0:06:48 > 0:06:55- A great answer.- Yeah, it means somebody who shares a bed or who forms a temporary alliance.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- Dave...- Hi.- Talk us through your time on Pointless.
0:07:00 > 0:07:07We got to the Head to Head the first time and then we won the second show with six points.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Ryder Cup captains.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Ah. Before this show, did you all sit in the green room and compare tales?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Oh!- Yeah. Well, listen, an obscure word ending in "..low" is all we need from you, Dave.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I'm going to go for mallow.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Mallow, says Dave. Is that right? How many said mallow?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It is right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37One's our lowest score.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4016 for mallow.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51This is going to be so close. You can see how evenly-matched everybody is. It'll be a cracker.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's a herbaceous plant.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00Thank you. We're halfway through. Jimmy, very well done. Bedfellow. A cracking answer there.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05A lovely low score of one. Then up to 15, Lucy and Rod,
0:08:05 > 0:08:0916, Dave and Steve, and then up to 28, Tom and Lisa.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15Lisa, use this time wisely. See if you can find a really low score or even a pointless answer
0:08:15 > 0:08:22and we can add 500 quid. OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27So, Steve, what have you done with your Pointless trophy?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- It's on the shelf at home. - In which room?
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- In the living room.- Well done. Have you taken it round anywhere? Does it ever go out with you?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40No, it's never been out the house.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46- You've got it insured, I hope. - No. How much should it be for? - I would say £30,000 or £40,000.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48OK.
0:08:48 > 0:08:56Now then, Steve, the high scorers on 28 are Lisa and Tom. 11 or less will prevent you being the new ones.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57OK.
0:08:57 > 0:09:04- I can't think of a great answer so I'm going to have a go at hallow. - Hallow. OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Let's see how many of our 100 said hallow. Here is your red line.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It's a good answer! 13 - just shy of the line.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Takes your total up to 29.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You lead by one point.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- To honour as holy.- Sara...
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- Hi.- Now when your Pointless show came out on TV, who did you watch it with?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- I didn't watch it.- Deliberately? - Deliberately. I didn't need to. I knew what happened.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- So you still haven't seen it? - No, I still haven't seen it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Well, you can watch this one. - Em...yeah. If we do well.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Yeah, I think you probably can. Well, remember it's any word ending in "..low".
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- You need to score 27 or less. - Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04- I'm doing that thing where if you think about a word for long enough it sounds wrong.- Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So, em...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I hope it's one word. I'm going to say marshmallow.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK. There's your red line. Is marshmallow right?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Let's see how many people said it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It is right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25You've done it! Very well done!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Four!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Four for marshmallow. A great answer. Your total is five.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39That's a great answer. Made of sugar, albumen and gelatine. Marshmallow.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45- Presumably, if a mallow is a plant...- Yeah.- A marshmallow you'd imagine is a rarer plant
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- that grows in peaty water. - You would think so.- Peaty soil.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- That's the beauty of words. - Grrr!- I know. Grrr! Can you imagine?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57There you go. Anyway, Rod.
0:10:57 > 0:11:04Now when you watched your Pointless episode, did you call everyone round? Did you all...?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Never watched it.- Really?!
0:11:06 > 0:11:12- I ran into the kitchen. - Is that because you were so close?
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- Had you won the jackpot, would you have watched it?- I look like a plank of wood. I didn't want to see it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:24- That's called charisma. - Nothing plankish or wooden about that, Rod.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I'll take your word on that. - OK. You can.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Now you want to be scoring 13 or less with this answer.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36I can only think of one word. I'm not sure if it will be right.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I thought overflow.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Overflow?- Yeah.- Overflow. Here is your red line. Quite low.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47How many people said overflow?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You've done it. Two!
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Two for overflow. 17 is your total. Well done, Rod.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08Very well played, Rod. Terrific. You know what overflow means.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14- When you split up with someone called Florence.- And you say... - "It's over, Flo."
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- And in a couple of weeks you are over Flo.- Lisa...
0:12:18 > 0:12:25- What have you done with your Pointless trophy? - Er...I gave one to my mum and dad.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29And ours is in a cupboard in the kitchen. I'm sorry.
0:12:29 > 0:12:37- Is that a glass-fronted cupboard? - No, but mainly because we didn't want to spoil the surprise.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39So it gets brought out quite a lot?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41..Yeah. Yeah.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Now then, Lisa...- Yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48What we need is a pointless answer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53500 quid in the jackpot and the glory of saving Tom's bacon.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- I'll just have to make a word up, like...- Well, don't do that, no.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- And just hope it is a real thing. - OK.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- Let's say...throughflow. - That was going to be my word. You know how you always ask me?
0:13:07 > 0:13:14- Oh, was it? Throughflow.- My word. - So there's an awful lot at risk here for everybody.- Yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Throughflow.- Yeah. - Lisa...- Come on!
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Here's your red line. You'll not be able to see it. That's how low it is.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28Throughflow. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's right!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Lisa, this could be heroic.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I think it might be.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Yes! It is! That's great news for you and me both. It's pointless.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47It adds £500 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,500.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 28.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It sees you and Tom through.
0:13:54 > 0:14:01- This is a very exciting game. - Amazing. I didn't think it would be that close. That's very impressive.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07The flow through of a liquid. Also a good way to dump Florence. "We're through, Flo."
0:14:07 > 0:14:13Very well played. Let's look at some pointless answers, see if you got these.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Afterglow would have been pointless. Airglow as well.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Contraflow. It's good for something.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Crossflow, furbelow. Oddfellow was a pointless answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Well done if you said that. Schoolfellow. Underflow.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36And you know when you get a little thing on the side of your nail? And the skin comes off?
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- That's called a whitlow.- Is it?- And that's a pointless answer as well. - I had no idea.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46I've never bothered giving it a name. I hate it so much.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Let's look at some high scorers, the ones that most people said.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Mellow, 45, was the third-highest answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Bellow for 51.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And below for 68.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08Thank you very much indeed. At the end of our first round, it's our two postmen,
0:15:08 > 0:15:15- Steve and Dave. It's been lovely having you back.- Can't argue with that.- Steve and Dave!
0:15:16 > 0:15:21But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Three pairs remain. At the end of this round we'll send another pair home.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Jimmy and Sara, just fantastic.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Bedfellow, marshmallow. It's quite a nice image that conjures up.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44- A marshmallow bedfellow? - People in bed eating marshmallows. It's nice.- That's lovely.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49And then we come to fallow, Tom. What were you thinking of?!
0:15:49 > 0:15:55- 28 points? Look what you made Lisa do.- I knew she had it in her. - Well, luckily, she did!
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Very well done, all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is... Modern Languages.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:16:04 > 0:16:10And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16German body parts.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20German...
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- German body parts, Richard. - Nothing strange about that. This should be a fun round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32On each pass we'll show you six German body parts. Give us the English translation of each one.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- There will be 12 in all. Good luck. - It's not a picture round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:43That's all I'm going to say. OK, so we are looking for the English translations
0:16:43 > 0:16:47of these body parts in German. And we have got...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49HE READS THE LIST
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'll read those one last time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06We're looking for the English names for these German body parts. Lisa...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Yeah. Not bad.- Not bad. What do you make of that?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- Pretty much a whole body.- Yeah. I've got a degree in German.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19So...I'm hoping that I can remember something.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26I'm trying to think which one would be most obscure and I think I'm going to say Der Nagel,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30which is the fingernail... The nail.
0:17:30 > 0:17:37Der Nagel. Let's see if Lisa is right and, if she is, how many said nail, fingernail.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Nine! Very well done, Lisa.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Very well done indeed.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Wow. You are having a good show, Lisa, it's fair to say.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Nail. As in the German expression, "Meine Nagel hast eine Wicklow."
0:18:02 > 0:18:05LAUGHTER
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Lucy...
0:18:09 > 0:18:15I'm the complete opposite to Lisa in that I've never done a day's German in my life, so...
0:18:15 > 0:18:21I'll go with something that I hope is going to be very obvious, but hopefully right
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and say Das Knie being a knee!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Das Knie, knee, says Lucy. Is that right? How many said it?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- It is right!- Thank you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Oh, 60.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43That is high.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- 60 for knee.- Beats 100, though. The largest joint in the body.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- There we go. Jimmy.- I did one year of German in school.- There you are.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Kopf... This isn't my answer. Shall I go through?- Please do.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02- Kopf is head. I think the top one, Das Auge - excuse my pronunciation. - No, it was good!- I think it's eyes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07I don't know if I can risk it. The one below nail, I think is ear.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11No idea about the bottom one. I'm intrigued.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16But I think Kopf would probably be below knee, so I'll go for that one.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Der Kopf, head, says Jimmy. Is that right? How many people said head?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It's right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:3037.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Not bad, though, Jimmy. - Yeah, it's a good answer.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42You're quite a long way under 60. Der Kopf. You know you don't lose most of your heat through your head?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Really? Did you know that, Lucy?- No.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- There you go. Worth coming back, wasn't it?- Yeah.- Worth coming back.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Das Auge. You were right - the eye. Well done, Jimmy. That would have scored you 14.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00A better answer. Das Ohr is ear.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04That would have scored you 22. Both of those were better than head.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10- And Die Zunge?- I'll guess tongue. - I guessed that as well... and we're both right!
0:20:10 > 0:20:15It would have scored 10. So the best answer is nail.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- Terrific work, Lisa. Two rounds in a row.- Nailed it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:29OK, let's look at the scores. Nine to you, Lisa. Tom again, on the back of Lisa, looking very strong.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35Up to 37 where we find Jimmy and Sara. And then up to 60, where we find Lucy and Rod.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Rod, do you speak German?- Nein.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45OK, we'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Let's put six more German body parts on the board. That sounds awful and wrong.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Here they are. We've got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:21:01 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER AT "Fingerknochel"
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'll read those one last time.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18We're looking for the English name for these German body parts.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Sara, you need to find the lowest scoring one you can.- Yeah.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26If you can score 22 or less, you avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:26 > 0:21:33I did do German at school, but I don't remember learning anything this useful.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39I can sort of guess at a couple, but I don't know them for sure.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43So I'm going to go for the one I do know, which is a bit obvious,
0:21:43 > 0:21:50but I'm hoping that will take it off the board and maybe everyone else will get something wrong!
0:21:50 > 0:21:54So I'm going to say Die Nase is the nose.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Die Nase, nose. OK, here's your red line.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Get below that, you are definitely in the Head to Head.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Die Nase. Is it nose?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It is.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08AUDIENCE "Ooh!"
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Ooh, Sara. That is a punishingly high score. Yes, 86.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Takes your total up to 123. That is a big gamble.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23That's a really big score, but it takes it off the board. That's quite a tough board.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29- It's impossible to hum if you pinch your nose closed. - It's impossible...?- To hum.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You pinch your nose closed and try to hum.
0:22:32 > 0:22:39- Well, you only can until your mouth fills up.- I like to think of millions of people around England
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- pinching their nose and trying to hum.- Right, Rod.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47You're back in the game here. Sara and Jimmy are on 123.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53You're on 60. A score of 62 or less sees you comfortably through.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57If I knew German, that would be nice.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02I'll go under the nose and say Der Zeh and say teeth.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Der Zeh, teeth. OK, here's your red line.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11If you get below that, you're in. Is Der Zeh teeth?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Oh! Well, you did what you had to do, Rod.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I'm afraid it's not a correct answer, and scores you 100 points.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28It takes your total up to 160. Phew, Sara and Jimmy! Richard...
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- Sorry, Rod. A tooth is Zahn, unfortunately.- Now then...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Tom, the board is yours. - Mmm.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I'm not too sure about any of them, really.
0:23:41 > 0:23:48- So I'm very lucky that Lisa's done as well as she has.- It doesn't matter. You are through whatever happens.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Literally, you have made it through, tooth and nail, to the Head to Head.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Well, I'm going to go through the board.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02And I'm going to say I reckon Der Zeh might be...
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- tongue.- Were you listening to me on the last board?!
0:24:07 > 0:24:14- How many tongues do you think these people have?! - We all know it's Die Zunge!
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It might be a colloquialism. Das Kinn is chin.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Der Magen is...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I have no idea.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Der Fingerknochel is probably finger knuckle.
0:24:28 > 0:24:35Which is a well-known part of the body. I'm going to say Der Ellenbogen...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- and that's elbow.- Elbow.
0:24:37 > 0:24:44Elbow, OK. No red line for you, but let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It is right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:5632. Very well done. 41 your total.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Very well played, Tom. You certainly know your Ellenbogen from whatever the German for backside is.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07It's a terrific answer. You were right about Das Kinn. It is chin.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11That would have scored you 12 points. A terrific answer.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Der Fingerknochel. You weren't tempted, Rod?
0:25:14 > 0:25:21- I thought it was too obvious. - It's not obvious. It is knuckle, but it would have scored 34 points
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and seen you safely through.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29- Der Magen is the stomach. - I was about to say hand.- 3 points.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35And Der Zeh, which has caused so much trouble, is the toe. That would have scored 4 points.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Stomach, Der Magen, the best answer.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Thanks. So I'm afraid, Lucy and Rod, at the end of our second round it's you we have to say goodbye to.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50Oh, well. There we are. You had a good punt on Zeh. It could easily have been a tooth.
0:25:50 > 0:25:58- I thought tooth or teeth, have a guess.- Yeah, well, there we are. It's been lovely having you back.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04I'm sorry we have to say goodbye now but thanks so much for coming back for our 500th show. Rod and Lucy!
0:26:06 > 0:26:11But for the remaining two pairs it's time for our Head to Head.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Well, congratulations, Lisa and Tom, Jimmy and Sara. You are one round from the final
0:26:20 > 0:26:25and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33As you know, we now have to decide which pair goes through to play for that jackpot,
0:26:33 > 0:26:38so you will go head to head. You're now allowed to confer and the first to win two questions
0:26:38 > 0:26:46will play for that £2,500. You've both been here before. Jimmy and Sara, you were the golden couple.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52Lisa, you've only scored 9 points in the whole show. Tom, she is carrying you.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Time to pull out your Fingerknochel. - LAUGHTER
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Best of luck, both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...Britney Spears.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- Britney Spears, Richard. - We'll show you five clues to facts about Britney Spears.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Can you give us the most obscure?
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Let's reveal our five clues. And we have got...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24HE READS THE LIST
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I'll read those one final time.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59Lisa and Tom, you've played best throughout the show so far so you get to go first.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I only know the second one.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03THEY CONFER
0:28:15 > 0:28:21Right. We're going to say that as a child she was part of the Mouseketeers.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The Mouseketeers, say Lisa and Tom. Mouseketeers.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Jimmy and Sara...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Talk us through the board.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- We can.- Name of the father was Kevin Federline, I think.
0:28:34 > 0:28:382004, I would put that as Toxic, but I wouldn't risk it.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42The artist in Me Against The Music was Madonna.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- And the bottom one is X Factor, but we'll go for Madonna.- Madonna.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52So, Lisa and Tom, you've gone with the Mouseketeers. Is that right? How many said it?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It's right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:0120!
0:29:06 > 0:29:1220 for the Mouseketeers. Now, Jimmy and Sara, you said Madonna was on Me Against The Music.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20It's right.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Is it going to beat 16?
0:29:30 > 0:29:36Very well done indeed, Jimmy and Sara. After one question it's one-nil to you.
0:29:36 > 0:29:44Well played, both teams. Among other Mouseketeers, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- Ryan Gosling?! - He was a Mouseketeer. - I didn't know that.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Jimmy did rather well on the rest of these. The talent show was X Factor.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Would have scored 25 points.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00The name of the father was K Fed, Kevin Federline.
0:30:00 > 0:30:06He would have scored you 13. And the title of her comeback single was Toxic,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- which would have scored you 5 points.- Thanks very much.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Here comes your second question. Lisa and Tom, you have to win this.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17It concerns...
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Military figures.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26- Military figures, Richard.- I'll show you five pictures of well-known figures from the military.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- Can you name the most obscure?- OK, let's reveal our military figures.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33We have got...
0:30:50 > 0:30:53There we are. Five military figures.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01- Now, Jimmy and Sara, you go first this time.- Any idea?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04THEY CONFER
0:31:09 > 0:31:12C, Johnson Beharry.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Johnson Beharry, say Jimmy and Sara, for C.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Johnson Beharry.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23Now then, Lisa and Tom, the board is yours.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- I've not got a clue, Tom. - Do you want to say General Custer?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30A, that's Lawrence of Arabia.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34B, I recognise that guy. I think he's a British guy,
0:31:34 > 0:31:39but I don't know what he's done or why, so I won't be saying that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43D, is that...? That might be General Custer.
0:31:44 > 0:31:51And E... Shall we go with E? E might be the only one where we have a vague idea who it might be.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53And I think that's
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Stormin' Norman...Schwarzkopf?
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- Schwarzkopf. OK. - If that's right...!
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Norman Schwarzkopf, you say. Johnson Beharry versus Norman Schwarzkopf.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13Jimmy and Sara went for Johnson Beharry. How many people said that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17It's right.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21It's a great answer.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Oh, look at that! Seven. Very well done, Jimmy and Sara.
0:32:28 > 0:32:34Very well done, indeed. Lisa and Tom have gone for Stormin' Norman for E. Let's see if it's right
0:32:34 > 0:32:38and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42It's right!
0:32:42 > 0:32:45How far down is it going to go?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Oh, 41!
0:32:50 > 0:32:5341, which means...
0:32:53 > 0:32:59Jimmy and Sara, after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, two-nil.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- Two brilliant answers.- And we all now know enough German to know that his name is Norman Blackhead.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10Let's look at the rest of these. Johnson Beharry was the first living person in 36 years
0:33:10 > 0:33:13to receive the Victoria Cross, in 2005.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17A was Lawrence of Arabia, but it was a big score. 65 points.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23B is Sir Michael Jackson. Sir Mike Jackson. He would have scored you four points.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28And D, as I suspect a lot of people guessed, is General Custer.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32George Custer. Would have scored you 33 points.
0:33:32 > 0:33:38The best answer was Sir Mike Jackson. Johnson Beharry a close second. Very good answer.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Thanks very much, Richard. So our losing pair I'm afraid is Lisa and Tom.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47You've played so well! You know who I'm talking to, Tom.
0:33:47 > 0:33:55- I do!- You have played so... - If he could have just pulled it out the bag for one question. Didn't.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Two great answers from you, but Jimmy and Sara were on fire.
0:33:58 > 0:34:04So we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been lovely seeing you again.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Maybe we'll see you again for the 1,000th! Lisa and Tom!
0:34:10 > 0:34:15But for Jimmy and Sara, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:18 > 0:34:25Congratulations, Jimmy and Sara. You saw off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy again!
0:34:31 > 0:34:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:34:40 > 0:34:46You are the first people in Pointless history ever to have two Pointless finals.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Really?- This is incredible. - That's nice.- How are you feeling?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- Yeah...relaxed.- Yeah. - We've had more fun this time.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Last time was too much pressure.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01To win that money, as you know, you just need a pointless answer.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05First, choose a category. You have five options.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You have got...
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- OK... - How are you on Music Awards?
0:35:17 > 0:35:23Probably not great. I'd probably go for Authors, but then you wouldn't.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29- It's one or the other, isn't it? - Yeah. I think we have a better chance with Music Awards.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- You'll know more about it. - That's all on me!- No...yeah, it is.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- Go for music again.- Last time, of course, it was American boy bands.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46This time, gluttons for punishment that you are, Music Awards is the one you're going to pick.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51Let's find out the question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:35:51 > 0:35:57winners of the Brit Award for Best British Album since 1985 as they could.
0:35:57 > 0:36:03- Richard?- We're looking for any artist or group who have won the Brit Award for Best British Album
0:36:03 > 0:36:10from 1985 through to 2012. Any artist who has won the Best British Album award. Very best of luck
0:36:10 > 0:36:14on our 500th show. It would be lovely to see you win.
0:36:14 > 0:36:22OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. Just one has to be pointless.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28Are you ready? OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:28 > 0:36:35- Keane won a lot of awards in 2005. - Is that obvious?- Is it? It wasn't very good.- That's maybe one.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38OK, British bands or artists.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- Did Any Winehouse get some?- Back To Black, probably, but it'll be high.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Yeah. Em...OK, who else did it recently?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Who's British?!- I know.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Arctic Monkeys probably got it around 2006 or so.
0:36:54 > 0:37:01- Would that be quite high? - That may be quite high. - I think we need to go earlier.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06In the '80s. Annie Lennox is always up for awards. Is she ever any good?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08She wins stuff.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11OK, Annie Lennox or Eurythmics?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Duran Duran?- We'll go George Michael. Chuck George in.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- George, Keane... - 10 seconds left.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Annie Lennox? - No. Arctic Monkeys?
0:37:24 > 0:37:30- Yeah, that'll do. That'll do. - OK, there's your time up.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34We wanted winners of the Brit Award for Best British Album since 1985.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40- I now need your three answers. - We'll go for George Michael, Keane...and Arctic Monkeys.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:44 > 0:37:50- George?- Good old George. - Put George Michael last. Which is your least likely?
0:37:50 > 0:37:57- Arctic Monkeys.- Really? - Yeah. Keane are quite forgettable. They're pleasant, but...- OK.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02They're pleasant, but forgettable. Arctic Monkeys we'll put first.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06OK, all right. And Keane in the middle.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:38:13 > 0:38:19OK, so we were looking for winners of the Brit Award for Best British Album since 1985.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25Arctic Monkeys was the one you thought was least likely, but only one has to be pointless
0:38:25 > 0:38:31to win that jackpot of £2,500. How many said Arctic Monkeys? Is it right?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35It is right.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Now this is your first answer.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42If this goes all the way down to zero you can leave straight away with £2,500.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Down into single figures... Six!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Six.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56Unfortunately, not a pointless answer, but a brilliant answer. Lovely low score.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02- Only two more chances to win today's jackpot. What was the jackpot the last time?- Eleven grand.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Eleven.- That was painful!
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Well, what would you do with £2,500, Jimmy?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14I've got lots of foreign friends after studying languages,
0:39:14 > 0:39:19so I'd quite like to go abroad. I've got a friend in Italy and I've never been.
0:39:19 > 0:39:26I want to do a pizza tour of Italy. Travel to every city and eat pizzas. Just get really fat.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32- Sara, how about you? - I'd quite like to go inter-railing and see lots of countries in one go.
0:39:32 > 0:39:38- Yeah, we'll do that. - We'll go to Italy on the way. - You can do pizza and inter-rail.
0:39:38 > 0:39:44- Do it all.- OK, we're looking for winners of the Brit Award for Best British Album.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49Let's hope nobody said Keane. You thought this was more forgettable.
0:39:49 > 0:39:55- It's just if they won the album award.- I'm not feeling confident. - OK, well, let's find out.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59It has to be correct and pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03For £2,500, how many people said Keane?
0:40:05 > 0:40:09It's right. Now the Arctic Monkeys took us down to six.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Keane taking us down through the 20s into the teens...
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Are they going to go lower than six?
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Still going down... One! Very well done indeed!
0:40:23 > 0:40:29- Very well done. One. - I'm having flashbacks! - You've been here before.
0:40:29 > 0:40:36OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. We've gone from six down to one.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40If you've put these in the right order, this surely ought to be pointless.
0:40:40 > 0:40:47Winners of the Brit Award for Best British Album since 1985. Your final answer is George Michael.
0:40:47 > 0:40:53- You were pretty confident. - He had a couple of massive albums. - But did he win?- He should have.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59- It's George. He's bigger than Keane and Arctic Monkeys, though. - Well, let's find out.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03To win that jackpot, it has to be correct and pointless.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07George Michael. Is it a pointless answer for £2,500?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17The Arctic Monkeys took us down to six. Then Keane took us to one.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21George Michael now taking us down through the teens.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24If this goes to zero... Oh, no!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Oh, bad luck!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer
0:41:37 > 0:41:44so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500. I'm so sorry. We've loved having you back on the show.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48And you take home another Pointless trophy! So very, very well done.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01That is unlucky, guys. Terrific fun. Thank you for coming back.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05You've had six goes - four, one, one, six, one, three.
0:42:05 > 0:42:1016 points in six answers. An average of 2.75 per answer!
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Not bad at all, but zero pounds, which seems a shame.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19If you'd said Annie Lennox, she'd have scored you one point.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25A bunch of answers scored one - Fine Young Cannibals, Manic Street Preachers, Mumford and Sons, Sade,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Sting, The Darkness, The Verve, Travis.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35Three pointless answers. Dire Straits from the '80s, Fairground Attraction as well.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41And from the mid-'90s the Stereo MCs. I'm sure some people would have got those at home.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47- Thank you for celebrating our 500th show with us. It's been such a pleasure.- Thank you.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51We have to say goodbye to you, but we've loved having you back.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55I'm so sorry you haven't got more than just the trophy to show for it.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Jimmy and Sara, lovely contestants.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06Sadly, Jimmy and Sara didn't win our 500th show jackpot today,
0:43:06 > 0:43:10- but join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
