0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the obvious answers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31mean nothing and the obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Couple number one. - I'm Paul, this is my wife Cynthia.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42We're from Whitley Bay in sunny Tyne and Wear.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Couple number two.- I'm Alison. This is my daughter, Natalie.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- We're from east Yorkshire. - Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'm Matt, this is Sam and we have come from Cardiff.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- And couple number four. - I'm Kwok, this is Alex.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59We're good friends and neighbours and we're from Raynes Park, London.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Thanks. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10There is only one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13A plucky canary in our very own mine of information,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21APPLAUSE
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- Afternoon.- Ahoy.- Ahoy? That's new! - Yeah.- After 480 shows.- I thought so.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Breaking it out. You're happy with it?- We'll see if it floats, yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Stick with that for the next show? - A couple more.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- What kind of a show have we got?- A cracker. We have two remaining pairs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Kwok and Alex are back. They were very good last time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44But we also have Cynthia and Paul, who we didn't see very much of.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Went out very early, so hope to see a bit more of them this time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I spotted something on podium three. I spy students.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56LAUGHTER
0:01:56 > 0:02:01- Don't you think?- Whatever gives you that idea?- I've got "stude-ar".
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Students sometimes are amazing. I mean, usually, terrible.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09But sometimes amazing. I wonder which Matt and Sam will be.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- I don't know. We'll see.- Anyway, ahoy.- You see? It's good, isn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- It's terrific.- Ahoy.- Yeah.- Thanks.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show and our
0:02:21 > 0:02:24contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Mairi and Mark didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts at £2,000.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42APPLAUSE
0:02:42 > 0:02:45If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48APPLAUSE
0:02:48 > 0:02:51In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:51 > 0:02:53but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:56 > 0:02:57will of course be eliminated.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Try to make sure that's not you. Our first category today is:
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Motorsport. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09who's going second?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Let's find out what the question is.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:03:18 > 0:03:23to name as many British Formula 1 Race Winners as they could.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Richard.- We're looking for the name of any driver
0:03:25 > 0:03:27born in or representing the UK
0:03:27 > 0:03:30to have ever won a grand prix from the start
0:03:30 > 0:03:34of the Drivers Championship in 1950 right through to the end of 2012.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- Any British driver ever to have won a grand prix. Good luck.- Thanks.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Now, Cynthia and Paul, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and today you are going to go first.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Paul, remind us what you do.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I'm a retired civil servant and I do little bits and pieces,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56other things.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Take me through some of them.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I've invigilated exams.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I do a little work for a well-known retailer.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06But what do you do for fun?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm not saying invigilating exams isn't great fun cos
0:04:10 > 0:04:12we all know, hell, it is!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I play guitar and a little bit of banjo.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK. Now then, do you follow Formula 1 at all?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22No, I think I lost interest when I was about six.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25That might be just the best period to lose interest,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28in terms of finding a pointless answer.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33So, yes. I think I'll go for one from around about that period.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- I'll go for Jim Clark. - Jim Clark, says Paul. Jim Clark.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Let's see if that's right and how many people said Jim Clark.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's absolutely right.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Still going down. Look at that! 13! Very well done!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- That's a lovely low score! - APPLAUSE
0:04:52 > 0:04:5513 for Jim Clark.
0:04:55 > 0:04:5925 wins, Jim Clark. He won two world titles as well.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00He was an expert in pedigree sheep.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Is that something he branched into? Or something he did alongside?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07He did alongside.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12On his gravestone, it lists farmer ahead of racing driver.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- By his own request. How about that?- How about that?!
0:05:15 > 0:05:19So round two, pedigree sheep breeders,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21he's also going to be a great answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27- Now then, Alison. Welcome to Pointless. From east Yorkshire.- Yes.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- What do you do?- I'd love to say not a lot. I'm a housewife.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36That's plenty. And what do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:05:36 > 0:05:41I love gardening, researching family history and I'm into sea fishing.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Are you? Very good. So you go out in the North Sea?- Usually.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- What's the most exciting thing you've caught?- A rather large cod.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52For me, it was a rather large cod!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Well done. Now then, Alison. Formula 1.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I know some British drivers,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02whether they've actually been winners is the problem I have.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06And the only one I can think of that is risky, cos I don't know
0:06:06 > 0:06:09whether he won, and that is Graham Hill.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Graham Hill. Well, only one way to find out.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said Graham Hill.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It is right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:2522 for Graham Hill. Well done.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28APPLAUSE
0:06:29 > 0:06:3314 wins. The only man to have won the Triple Crown, which is the Formula 1
0:06:33 > 0:06:37World Championship, the Le Mans 24 Hour Race and the Indy 500.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41He only passed his driving test at 24.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Did he?- He did! Yeah.- Now then, Sam.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Hello.- Welcome to the show.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Richard was right, I'm guessing, on the student front.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- You're students, where, at...? - At Cardiff.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- What are you studying there? - I study sociology.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Very good. How are you feeling about Formula 1?- Awful.- Really?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I only have a few names in mind and they're both pretty obvious.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07But it's going to have to be that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- I'm going to go for Jenson Button. - OK, Jenson Button, says Sam.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Jenson Button.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- 53. - APPLAUSE
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That could be a lot worse, Sam. Not bad at all.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, 15 wins to date for Jenson Button.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It took him 114 races to get one, though.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Thanks, Richard. Kwok, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39What are you hoping is going to happen today?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- What would you like to see come up? - Hong Kong film stars?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46LAUGHTER
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Like Zhang Ziyi.- Mm-hm.- Mm-hm.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Chow Yun-Fat.- Oh, Chow Yun-Fat, we've had him.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55LAUGHTER
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Anyway, maybe in another round. But for now, British Formula 1.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- We live in hope.- Yes. - KWOK CHUCKLES
0:08:02 > 0:08:07OK. I do also have a few names in mind.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But they will be quite high as well.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- So I'm going to go for Damon Hill. - Damon Hill, says Kwok. Damon Hill.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Let's see if that's right
0:08:17 > 0:08:20and if it is, let's see how many people said Damon Hill.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It is, of course, right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29APPLAUSE
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Not bad at all, Kwok.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Yes, Graham Hill's son.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Won 22 Formula 1s, won the world title as well.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- The only father and son to-date to win the world titles.- Thanks.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45We're halfway through the round. Let's see what the scores are.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Best score of that pass was Paul. Very well done.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Cynthia and Paul on 13, up to 22 where we find Alison and Natalie.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Then up to 35, Kwok and Alex, then 53, Sam and Matt.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Sam, you knew that was going to be a high-scoring one.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Matt, he was relying on you to find a low score. Good luck.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Remember, we're looking for the name of any British driver ever to
0:09:13 > 0:09:16have won a Formula 1 grand prix.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Alex.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- This is bad.- Welcome back. Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Do you actively not follow Formula 1?- Not really. Not really.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- Even at work, I don't... No. - Remind us what work is.- A fireman.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34A firefighter. From London.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38OK. Well, listen, Kwok did pretty well there, 35.
0:09:38 > 0:09:4353 the high score. So you have a head-start of 17.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm going to try, I think it's reasonably safe, Nigel Mansell.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Nigel Mansell. OK. Well, here's your red line.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51If you can get below that red line,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53you will avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let's see how many people said Nigel Mansell.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's right.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:10:03 > 0:10:07That's not bad. 69, your total.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1431 wins for Mansell, that's the most of any British racing driver.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Now then, Matt.- Hello.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20What do you like getting up to when you're not working at university?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Sam and I do a radio show on Cardiff student radio together,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- which is fun.- And when is that on? - It's on Saturdays.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- You're not from Cardiff, are you? - No, I'm from Newcastle.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38Good stuff. Formula 1. You're not the high scorers any longer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The high scorers are now Alex and Kwok on 69.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43But you're only 15 behind them.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Do you think you can avoid becoming the high scorers?- No.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48LAUGHTER
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I'm going to have to go for Lewis Hamilton.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Lewis Hamilton says Matt. OK, there is your red line.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I can tell from the audience that's going to be...a very good answer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, let's see. Lewis Hamilton. How many people said it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- 59. - APPLAUSE
0:11:10 > 0:11:1359, taking your total up to 112.
0:11:13 > 0:11:1621 wins to-date and one world title as well.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Natalie.- Yes.- Welcome to the show. What do you do, Natalie?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm a part-time postgraduate student
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and I work part-time for a market research company.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And what's your postgraduate in?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28English literature,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31although I'm specifically writing about old Norse literature.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Old North?- Norse. It could be old north, it's in the north!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Old Norse literature.- Norse.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Are there any famous bits of old Norse literature that we'd all know?
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- Well, Beowulf.- There we go.- Black Beauty, that's about an olden 'orse.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- LAUGHTER - It's about an 'orse.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Certainly.- An olden one.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm a bit of a video gamer.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59So I spend quite a lot of time on my computer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And ironically, I also watch Formula 1.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05But I've only watched it for the last couple of years.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I know some drivers, whether they've won anything...
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I think I'm going to go with...David Coulthard.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14David Coulthard. OK, there's your red line.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17If you can get below that with David Coulthard,
0:12:17 > 0:12:18you're through to the next round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Is it right, how many people said it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25It is right and you are through to the next round. Well done, Natalie.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- APPLAUSE - 19.
0:12:30 > 0:12:3319 takes your total up to 41.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37That's a very good answer, yeah. 13 wins for David Coulthard,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40who was runner-up in the World Championship in 2001.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Came on Pointless Celebrities as well.- Absolutely.- He was pretty cool.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- He was very cool.- Yeah. - Now then, Cynthia.- Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50You're 99 points behind Matt and Sam.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53So a score of 98 or less will see you through.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Cynthia, remind us what you like to get up to.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- I've retired. - How do you spend your time?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I like to travel, when we can. Gardening.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I like to go to the theatre, cinema.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10And I'm learning to play piano at the moment.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Do you follow sport? Motorsport?- No, I don't.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17So you're really being unkind to me with this.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Both of you are being really unkind! - It's more Xander, to be honest.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I said before the show we probably shouldn't do F1.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25He said, "Yeah, do it!"
0:13:25 > 0:13:27LAUGHTER I said, "What about Cynthia?"
0:13:27 > 0:13:29He said, "I couldn't care less."
0:13:29 > 0:13:32LAUGHTER
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Thank you for that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35He is lying, you know.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Fair enough.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41So it's going to be a kind of all or nothing thing here.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I've got two or three names in my head,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49but whether they're British Formula 1 or race winners, I have no idea.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I'll just have to go for one
0:13:51 > 0:13:56that I think is, you know... So I'll go for...James Hunt.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01James Hunt. You're on 13. You want to score 98 or less.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04That's what that looks like. There's your red line.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Let's see if that answer will get you below the red line.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Is it right, how many people said James Hunt?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13You've done it!
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Ooh, down it goes.
0:14:16 > 0:14:1826. Very well done.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20APPLAUSE
0:14:20 > 0:14:2326. 29, your total.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well played, Cynthia. That's a relief, isn't it?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Ten wins for James Hunt. He also won the world title in 1976.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Lots of people out there are very good at Formula 1.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36There's three pointless answers here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well done if you got any of these three.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43The 1961 US Grand Prix was won by Innes Ireland.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Peter Collins won three grand prix
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and Peter Gethin won the 1971 Italian Grand Prix
0:14:48 > 0:14:51by one-hundredth of a second.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'll give you a few of the lower scorers as well.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Tony Brooks would have scored you one, a much more recent one,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Eddie Irvine would have scored you two points, would have been terrific.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Let's take a look at the top three answers, the third one first.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Damon Hill we've heard already, 35.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We asked the question earlier about our students.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11We said, "Which type are they going to be?"
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Because occasionally, we get superstars and occasionally it's...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18less so. Let's take a look at the top two answers.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Jenson Button, 53 and Lewis Hamilton, on 59.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24We won't give you Formula 1 next time, I promise.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Thanks very much indeed. So the end of our first round,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm afraid our pair who will be
0:15:29 > 0:15:31heading home with their high score
0:15:31 > 0:15:32of 112 is Matt and Sam.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Didn't win! That was two
0:15:33 > 0:15:36correct answers, that's good(!)
0:15:36 > 0:15:41They were up at the top of the leaderboard, there, as well.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43So that's kind of good, as well.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Sadly, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47We'll see you again next time, but Matt and Sam,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49thanks very much for playing.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52APPLAUSE
0:15:52 > 0:15:55But for the three remaining pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02So now we're down to three pairs,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05obviously there's only room for two in our head-to-head round,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07so one pair will leave us at the end of this round.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Cynthia and Paul did very well there. Natalie and Alison, also.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16That played slightly into your hands there, Natalie. Very good!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And Kwok and Alex! We made it!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Very well done - best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Our category for Round Two is:
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Films. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30who's going to go second?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41OK, and the question concerns... movie adaptations.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Movie adaptations. Richard?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The category is more books than films.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'll show you on each pass the names of six books or short stories
0:16:48 > 0:16:49that have been turned into films.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Tell us the author of any of those, please.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56There will be 12 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57OK, thanks very much.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00We want the names of the authors of these novels or short stories
0:17:00 > 0:17:02that have been turned into films.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Here is our first board.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We have...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Brighton Rock, Empire Of The Sun, Lord Of The Flies,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22The Talented Mr Ripley, Trainspotting and Jurassic Park.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24They've all been turned into films.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28We want the names of the authors of those novels or short stories.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Cynthia?
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Yes. Um, well, this is not too bad. Thank goodness!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think I'll go for Brighton Rock, Graham Greene.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Graham Greene says Cynthia. Let's see if that's right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43How many of our 100 said Graham Greene?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46It's absolutely right.
0:17:50 > 0:17:5221, not bad at all, Cynthia.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Good answer.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Published in 1938, made into films in 1947 and more recently in 2010.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Now then, Natalie. - I know some of them.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Remind me what your post-grad is in? - English!
0:18:08 > 0:18:09- Yeah!- Yup.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14I haven't looked at any books like that in...a few months, at least!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16But, um...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'll try Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Irvine Welsh says Natalie for Trainspotting.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 knew that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Well, 21 our best score so far.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Irvine Welsh,
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Oooh, down it goes, 17.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Well done!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39A new low.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Trainspotting is Irvine Welsh's first ever novel.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46He says it's his first attempt at any sort of writing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Very impressive for a first attempt. - Yeah, very impressive.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Now, Kwok.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Kwok, you're the last person to have this board.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Do you want to take us through it? - No!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00LAUGHTER
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Actually, I know all the movies...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06but I don't know who wrote the book.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11So I have to go for Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Michael Crichton says Kwok for Jurassic Park.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It is, of course, right.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Very well done, 18!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Second-lowest score of the pass, Kwok.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34That's a good answer, Kwok,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- for somebody who didn't know any of them at all.- It was such surprise!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Yes, Jurassic Park, most of the dinosaurs
0:19:42 > 0:19:45in it were Cretaceous, they weren't Jurassic at all.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- So, you know. What can you do?- Hm.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Interesting.- Yeah. You SAY interesting.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Let's have a look through the rest of these.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- You'll be good at these - Lord Of The Flies?- William Golding.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Absolutely. You would have scored 14.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Empire Of The Sun?- Ballard?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02JG Ballard, yep.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Seven points. The best answer on the board - The Talented Mr Ripley?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Two points. Well done if at home if you said Patricia Highsmith.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Highsmith!- Yes, that's good!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13And again, her books are brilliant.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The Ripley books are amazing.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:19 > 0:20:2217 the best score of that pass, Natalie. Well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Natalie and Alison looking strong,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26but not that strong - hot on their heels are Kwok
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and Alex on 18 and pretty hot on their heels are Cynthia
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and Paul, so all very close indeed.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35It's going to be a nail-biting second half to this round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37THAT I can promise you.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40We'll come back down the line... I've never said that before!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51OK, let's put six more films on the board. Here they are. We have got...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'll read those one last time - A Clockwork Orange,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03The Big Sleep, The Day Of The Jackal, No Country For Old Men,
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Bridget Jones's Diary and From Russia With Love.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Remember, we are looking for the authors of the novels or
0:21:10 > 0:21:12short stories on which these films are based.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Alex, you're going to try and find the lowest scorer on that board.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Blimey. Um... There's only really two I'm sure on, here.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26And I think I'll have to go with the lowest of the two, I think.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'll go with Bridget Jones's Diary and Helen Fielding.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Helen Fielding says Alex. Well, you're on 18.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36The high-scorers on 21 are Paul and Cynthia.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Ideally, you want to score two or less to avoid becoming the new
0:21:38 > 0:21:41high-scorers. Helen Fielding.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45There's your red line - let's see how far down the column you get.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Ooh, it's not bad, look at that! 11. Very well done.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59The lowest score so far, in fact, Alex.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01That takes your total up to 29.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Very well done indeed. - Not a bad answer as it turns out.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I mean, everyone knows the book and so many people have read it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Whether the name sticks in your mind or not...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It obviously slipped a few people's minds.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Renee Zellweger worked in a publisher's office for a month
0:22:16 > 0:22:19before being on that film, incognito, to get into character.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Did that help?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I mean... You know! Perfectly serviceable film.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Her accent was good.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Alison!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Now then, you're on 17,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38the high-scorers are Alex and Kwok on 29.
0:22:38 > 0:22:4111 or less is what you want to score.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43What do you make of the board?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46For me, terrible. I only know one.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I knew two, but one has gone.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So the only other one I know which I think is right and I hope is
0:22:51 > 0:22:55right is From Russia With Love which I think is Ian Fleming.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- OK.- You think Ian Fleming, From Russia With Love.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Here is your red line - that's what you have to get below.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Let's find out if you're right and if you are,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05let's see how many people agreed with you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You are right.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1342.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19A popular answer, taking your total up to 59.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's a big score, Alison, but it might keep you in the game.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Turned into a 1963 film,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25the second in the Bond franchise.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now then... Paul? The last to play.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32The high-scorers now Alison and Natalie on 59.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38You're on 21, so 37 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Can you talk us through the board, do you think?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I can't think who did No Country For Old Men.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Day Of The Jackal I think is Frederick Forsyth.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Clockwork Orange I think Anthony Burgess, and The Big Sleep...
0:23:50 > 0:23:54I think it's Raymond Chandler.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And I think I'm going to go for that, even though I'm not sure.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- I'll go for Raymond Chandler. - Raymond Chandler for The Big Sleep.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Well, here is your red line.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Raymond Chandler. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10It is right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Very well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Oh, Paul, that's a great answer! Well done, you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Lowest score of the whole round.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2228 your total.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Seven from that.- Well played, Paul.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The first of the acclaimed series about Philip Marlowe the detective
0:24:28 > 0:24:29by Raymond Chandler.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33So you were right about Anthony Burgess as well, Clockwork Orange.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Would have scored you eight points.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And you were right about Day Of The Jackal, Frederick Forsyth, 14 points.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41The best answer on that board is No Country For Old Men,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45it's the American author, Cormac McCarthy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Would have scored you two points. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52So Alison and Natalie, I'm afraid that means you are going to be
0:24:52 > 0:24:55leaving us at the end of this round. 59 - not a bad score.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56And some really good play there -
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm afraid it was just that Ian Fleming -
0:24:58 > 0:25:00people always remember that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's one of those author's names people never forget.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- That's why SHE remembered it! - Exactly!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Anyway, we have to say goodbye,
0:25:07 > 0:25:08but we'll see you again next time.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Look forward to that. Thanks, Alison and Natalie.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14APPLAUSE
0:25:14 > 0:25:18But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Congratulations, Cynthia and Paul, Kwok and Alex.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You're one step closer to the final and the chance
0:25:28 > 0:25:32to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37So, to decide which pair goes through to the final
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and plays for that money, you'll now go head-to-head.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Big news is you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Whichever pair is the first to win two questions will be
0:25:45 > 0:25:47playing for that jackpot.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56OK, here comes your first question
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and it concerns...
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Yes, it was a very disappointing early '90s show on LWT, it didn't...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08No, we're about to show you five pictures now
0:26:08 > 0:26:10of people meeting David Cameron.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Can you name any of these lucky five, please?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18OK, thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five..."meeters"!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Er, and here they are.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38OK, there we are. Five people meeting the Prime Minister.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Cynthia and Paul, you've played best throughout the show,
0:26:41 > 0:26:42so you get to go first.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We'll go for C and Princess Anne.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48C and Princess Anne.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51C, Princess Anne, say Cynthia and Paul...
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So Kwok and Alex.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00OK... A is Aung San Suu Kyi.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02E is Barack Obama,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- B is...- Jacques Rogge.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- The Olympic Committee chairman, whatever!- Jacques Rogge!
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I think D would be the winning answer, but I don't know who she is!
0:27:14 > 0:27:15LAUGHTER
0:27:15 > 0:27:16So...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19LAUGHTER
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So shall we go for Aung San Suu Kyi?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yes, that's your area, go for it, yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26A, Aung San Suu Kyi.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30OK, you're going to go for Aung San Suu Kyi, A.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35So, we have Cynthia and Paul saying Princess Anne for C, let's see
0:27:35 > 0:27:38if that is right and if it is, how many of our 100 said Princess Anne.
0:27:43 > 0:27:4573!
0:27:45 > 0:27:47APPLAUSE
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Kwok and Alex saying Aung San Suu Kyi.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many
0:27:55 > 0:27:56of our 100 said that.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's right and it wins you the point.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Eight.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Very well done. After one question, Kwok and Alex, you are up one-nil.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Well played there, Kwok.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Actually, there's a better answer that you knew -
0:28:17 > 0:28:22Jack Rogge would have scored one point. A terrific answer.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26E is Barack Obama, as you said.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28A big score, 84 points.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33However, that still means 16 people out of 100 are going... Nope!
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Not a clue.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now some people at home, I suspect, will know this,
0:28:36 > 0:28:37any of our Bangladeshi viewers
0:28:37 > 0:28:40will know that is Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44meeting David Cameron in 2011 and it's a pointless answer,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46so very well done if you said it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Who would you like to meet most out of that lot?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I would say probably Barack Obama.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I know, but you should say Aung San Suu Kyi, because that is the coolest
0:28:54 > 0:28:58thing to say, but it would be good to meet Barack Obama, wouldn't it?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01You can see his weight fluctuates, doesn't it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Goodness me.- It does.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- LAUGHTER - It does, yeah.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10He'd had a good feed before he met Jacques Rogge, hadn't he?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Yeah.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Anyway, here comes your second question.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Cynthia and Paul, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22And Kwok and Alex will get to go first. It concerns...
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Yorkshire. Richard.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Alison and Natalie would have loved this!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33We'll show you five clues now to facts about Yorkshire.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Let's reveal our five clues about Yorkshire
0:29:38 > 0:29:39and here they are.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00The Leeds ground which is HQ of the County Cricket club,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03the long-running soap set in Yorkshire, the house which
0:30:03 > 0:30:05was principal setting for 1981's TV adaptation
0:30:05 > 0:30:07of Brideshead Revisited,
0:30:07 > 0:30:09the Leeds rock group named after a South African
0:30:09 > 0:30:13football team and the flower which is the county emblem.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Five clues to facts about Yorkshire.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Kwok and Alex, you go first.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, we will go for the house which was principal
0:30:23 > 0:30:26setting for 1981 TV adaptation
0:30:26 > 0:30:29of Brideshead Revisited.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31That's Howard Castle.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Howard Castle. That is your answer.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Howard Castle.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39OK. Cynthia and Paul.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I think we know a few of them, but we'll go for the house as well,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48which is actually the other way round, Castle Howard.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Castle Howard.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Oooh!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Oooh, so that's how...
0:30:56 > 0:30:59OK, Cynthia and Paul, so that's how we're going to play this game!
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- No mercy!- Evidently not!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08OK. Kwok and Alex said Howard Castle.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12let's see how many people said it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Oh, bad luck.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Bad luck.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Cynthia and Paul have gone for Castle Howard.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Let's see if that's right. All it has to be at this stage is right.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26And it is.
0:31:31 > 0:31:3312.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36APPLAUSE
0:31:36 > 0:31:4012 for Castle Howard which means well done, Cynthia and Paul.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44You are back in the game. And after two questions, it's one all.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48That is absolute textbook Pointless from Cynthia and Paul there.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51That's great stuff. It's Castle Howard, I'm afraid, guys.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It's not actually a castle, Castle Howard.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Let's take a look through the rest of those answers.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57The Leeds ground, do you know that one?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Headingley.- It's Headingley. Absolutely.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Would have scored you 30 points. The long-running soap?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Emmerdale.- Emmerdale. Would have scored a bit more.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Would have scored 77. The rock group?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Kaiser Chiefs. - It's the Kaiser Chiefs.
0:32:09 > 0:32:1216. And the flower which is the county emblem?
0:32:12 > 0:32:13The white rose.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15The white rose. Absolutely.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Would have scored you 63 points.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Very well done if you got all five of those at home.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Unless you're from Yorkshire, in which case very badly done
0:32:21 > 0:32:24if you DIDN'T get all five of those at home.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26OK. Here comes your third question.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:28 > 0:32:31and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Chat Show Hosts. Richard.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40We're going to show you the names of five British or US TV chat show hosts
0:32:40 > 0:32:41but in anagram form.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47OK. Let's reveal our five anagrams of chat show hosts
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and here they are. We have got...
0:32:58 > 0:32:59I'll read them one last time.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Five anagrams of chat show hosts. Obviously, you're going to try
0:33:09 > 0:33:12and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people could spot.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Cynthia and Paul, you go first.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- What do you think?- I think we're absolutely stumped with this one.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Apart from one. So we're going to go for the first one.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Jonathan Ross.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28OK. You're going to go for Jonathan Ross, Hats Jars Noon.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Kwok and Alex, talk us through the board.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Unfortunately, that was the only one I could see.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Erm... Yeah, stumped here.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41We're going to have to go for...
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Oh, boy. This is going to be fun. Carla Ran...
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I don't know. Carla Rahn!
0:33:49 > 0:33:52LAUGHTER
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Carla "Rahn."
0:33:53 > 0:33:58You've decided to pronounce "Ran" "Rahn"...
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- and in effect solve this conundrum. - Exactly.- OK.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Carla Rahn. You're going to go for Carla Rahn. OK.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Well, Cynthia and Paul have said Jonathan Ross for Hats Jars Noon.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people spotted that.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Very well done. 29.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:2729 for Jonathan Ross. Kwok and Alex have gone for Carla Rahn.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Don't know how you found that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33But yes, let's see if it's right, for now.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Oh, well.- Bad luck. Never mind. - Oh, well.- Bad luck.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Very well done, Cynthia and Paul.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Brilliant.- If you had managed to unscramble Carla Ran,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50you'd be in the final now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53He's a Channel Four chat show host...
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Alan Carr.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Alan Carr. He would have scored you 17 points.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Shrink A Policeman? Slightly older-school chat show host.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Michael Parkinson. - Michael Parkinson, yep. 32 points.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Hangman Rotor?- Graham Norton.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Graham Norton. Ten points. Now, Film Only Jam is a pointless answer.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It's a US late-night talk-show host.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Very, very well done to anyone at home who said Jimmy Fallon.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22That's a terrific answer. It's a pointless answer.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Very good indeed. Good round, actually. They were tough.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29They were quite tough.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:31 > 0:35:35I'm afraid it's Kwok and Alex. I'm so sorry.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Howard Castle.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- I'll never live it down. - I won't let him.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Listen, it's been wonderful having you on both shows
0:35:44 > 0:35:46and you've done a brilliant performance,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48through to the head-to-head in each one.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now. Thanks so much for playing.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Kwok and Alex. Great contestants.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE
0:35:56 > 0:36:01But for Cynthia and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Congratulations, Cynthia and Paul.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08You've seen off all the competition
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30To win that money, all you have to do is find one pointless answer.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32First, though, you have to choose a category.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- Here are your five options. - They are...
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- British Actors, I think.- Going to have to be British Actors.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- British Actors. Wow. That's quite general, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52OK. Now, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:36:52 > 0:37:00as many Nicholas Lyndhurst TV shows and films as they could. Richard.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02We would like you to name any TV series or film in which
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Nicholas Lyndhurst has played a character, since the beginning
0:37:05 > 0:37:07of his career up to the end of 2012, please.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11So, any film or TV series where Nicholas Lyndhurst has played
0:37:11 > 0:37:13a character. Very, very best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:16 > 0:37:19and all you need to win that £2,000 jackpot
0:37:19 > 0:37:21is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Have you got any?- No.- Well, Only Fools And Horses, obviously.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30What's the one where he was...?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32The one where he was the time traveller thing
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- or whatever it was?- I can't remember that one either.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- I can't remember the name of that. - No. Has he been in any...?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Films? I don't know. I don't know any films.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Erm...
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Didn't make an appearance in Porridge, did he?- I don't know.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49We could try that.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Butterflies. Wasn't it Butterflies? - No, he wasn't... Oh, yes! Yes!
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Was that it? Was that the one? - Yeah.- It was?- Yeah.- Butterflies. OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- It'll have to be Only Fools And Horses.- It'll have to be.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Butterflies. Is it Butterflies or Butterfly?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- It's Butterflies, I think.- OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13He might have just made a guest appearance in Porridge or something.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- OK.- I think we'll just go for those.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17OK. You're going to stop the clock now.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20You're happy with the three you've got. Well, very good.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22You have your three answers. Let's hear what they are.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26We were looking for Nicholas Lyndhurst TV shows and films.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Well, obviously Only Fools And Horses.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Obviously, Only Fools And Horses. - Butterflies.- Butterflies.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35And we're going to say that he possibly had a small role
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- in Porridge.- Who knows?- Porridge.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK. A small role in Porridge. Of those three, which do you think
0:38:43 > 0:38:44is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Probably Butterflies.- Butterflies. We'll put that last.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- And your least likely?- Porridge.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- The small role in Porridge? - The small role in Porridge, yes.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK. Let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01We have got Porridge, Only Fools And Horses and Butterflies.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05So, we were looking for Nicholas Lyndhurst TV shows and films.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Porridge was your first answer
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- and the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.- Yes.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Probably least likely to be right, if we're honest.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- He's quite young, relatively young, isn't he?- No.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Maybe not.- He's old enough to have been it.- Really?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23If it was set in a young offenders' institution maybe.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Anyway, there we are. You only need one pointless answer
0:39:26 > 0:39:27to win that jackpot of £2,000
0:39:27 > 0:39:31so let's find out how many people said Porridge. Is it right?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Oh, bad luck.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Well, you know, that was just there.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You had to put a third answer in and you went with that one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Obviously, not a pointless answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43But I think you'd have been very surprised if it had been.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45So, only two more chances to win today's jackpot
0:39:45 > 0:39:49and two good answers, the second of those particularly good.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- It could be right. - If you were to win £2,000,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54what would you do with it?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Well, we're hoping to go to India next year,
0:39:56 > 0:39:58the beginning of next year,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00so it would probably go for some spending money there.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Very good. Very nice indeed. - I've always fancied a recumbent.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06You fancied a...?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- A recumbent.- Bicycle.- Ah, right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I had no idea what you were talking about there.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12It won't be going to that.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13LAUGHTER
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- It won't be going to that. - It won't be going to that?- No.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Good luck, anyway.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Let's hope one of these two remaining answers gets you to India
0:40:23 > 0:40:24and quite possibly gets you
0:40:24 > 0:40:26that recumbent you've been dreaming about.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29We are looking for Nicholas Lyndhurst TV shows and films.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Only Fools And Horses.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37obviously, for you to win that jackpot. Who knows?
0:40:37 > 0:40:43Maybe there was a collective amnesia as people were answering the poll.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Only Fools and Horses.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Well, it's right.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52There we go. 84.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Wow.- Lower than I thought.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I think that's as many people as recognised Barack Obama
0:40:59 > 0:41:02shaking hands with our Prime Minister. There we are.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Only Fools And Horses also not a pointless answer
0:41:04 > 0:41:09which means everything is now riding on your final answer, Butterflies.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12We were looking for Nicholas Lyndhurst TV shows and films.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Let's see how many people said Butterflies.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16For £2,000, is it pointless?
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Well, it's right. Porridge, your first answer, was incorrect.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Your second answer, Only Fools And Horses, took us down to 84.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Butterflies now taking us down into the 20s.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Oh! 20. Bad luck.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Well, I'm sorry to say you didn't manage to find
0:41:38 > 0:41:39that all-important pointless answer
0:41:39 > 0:41:42so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000
0:41:42 > 0:41:45which rolls over onto the next show. But we've loved having you here
0:41:45 > 0:41:47and you do, of course, take away two Pointless trophies with you
0:41:47 > 0:41:50so well done for that. Brilliant. Well done.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53APPLAUSE
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Unlucky, Cynthia and Paul. It has been lovely having you here
0:41:58 > 0:42:01and I greatly admired your Castle Howard manoeuvre, I have to say.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04You're not a million miles away with Porridge, actually.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07He's a little too young. But it may have stuck in your mind somewhere,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10he was in the follow-up, the spin off afterwards, Going Straight.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14He played Ronnie Barker's son. He played Raymond Fletcher in that.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17But that would have scored you two points. Two points.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21A couple up here people might get.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Anne Of Avonlea, I suspect, you won't.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25But he played Uriah Heap in David Copperfield on the TV.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27People might have got that.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29He was in the Gulliver's Travels adaptation on TV as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31The one where Ted Hanson was Gulliver.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33He was in a British movie of Lassie in 2005.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Anthony Horowitz, Murder In Mind.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38He was in a TV film of Peter Pan as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Spearhead, the Army drama.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44The Piglet Files was a sitcom where he plays a reluctant MI5 officer.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45People might have got that, I think.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49And The Tomorrow People, the kids sci-fi series.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50All of those pointless answers.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Very well done if you got any of those at home.
