0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,

0:00:27 > 0:00:31the quiz show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Couple number one.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm Lynne. This is my best friend and husband, Mark.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43And we're from Telford in Shropshire.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Couple number two.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi. My name's Isobel. This is my father, David,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51and we come from Bagshot in Surrey.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52Couple number three.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Alan. This is Cliff. We're cousins

0:00:54 > 0:00:55from North Shields NE29.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58And finally, couple number four.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Anne. This is Sue, and we work together in Nottingham.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13That only leaves one more person to introduce,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16currently on parole after a punch-up with three of the Eggheads.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Yeah.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Yeah, Daphne fights dirty. It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Hiya.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:27 > 0:01:28- Are you well?- Very well.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Er, now...

0:01:30 > 0:01:33question one today is a slightly awkward one.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38Sometimes on questions, things come up where it's people we know personally.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Mmm.- And in question one today,

0:01:40 > 0:01:42we know every single answer.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We're very personally acquainted with everybody who's an answer.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's going to be a little bit awkward.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Some of our history is going to have to come out in Round One today.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53OK. Yeah.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Good stuff. Thanks very much indeed.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Everyone's looking for a pointless answer - that's an answer that none of our people could give.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:10 > 0:02:15Rob and John won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's to be no conferring.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be heading home.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33OK, our first category today is...

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Fashion. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, and who's going second.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50And the question concerns...

0:02:51 > 0:02:55There we go. Supermodels and their first names.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Yeah.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Could be awkward.- Yeah.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02You know, like a room you walk in and you think, "I've been out with everyone here"?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04That's what these boards will be like.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07On each pass, we'll show the surnames of seven supermodels

0:03:07 > 0:03:08and their first initial.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11We need you to give us their first name, please.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13There's going to be 14 supermodels to name at home.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Very, very best of luck.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18So we're looking for the first names of these supermodels.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20And our first board reads like this. We have got...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I'll go through those one last time.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Now then, Lynne and Mark, you all drew lots before the show

0:03:41 > 0:03:43and today, you are going to go first.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Lynne, welcome to the show. - Thank you.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- From Shropshire.- Yes.- What do you do up in Shropshire?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'm a card-maker, so I teach card-making.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Do you write little poems to go in the card as well?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Sometimes. In the past I have, for friends and family.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59For friends and family. Quite right.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02OK, now, when you're not doing that, obviously, supermodels...

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Yes!- ..occupy quite a lot of your time.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yes, as you can see, I know a lot about supermodels.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Hmm...

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Kate Moss.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Kate Moss, says Lynne.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Kate Moss. Let's see if it's right,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17and let's see how many people said Kate Moss.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Ooh!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23A lot.

0:04:23 > 0:04:2595 people said Kate Moss.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26- Wow!- Well done.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- That's a big score.- Better than 100!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31It is. And, as Mark said, well done.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Thank you!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Yeah.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37It's nice to welcome Mark and Lynne. I wonder if you're going to win.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38That's my, er...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40my little greetings card for you there.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42LAUGHTER

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Now, OK. Isobel.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Welcome to the show. What do you do, Isobel?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I'm a marketing executive for an events company.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Excellent. What do you like getting up to in your spare time?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm big into my films.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Watch a lot of films, watch a lot of TV series, read a lot.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Meet my friends, usual stuff.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Good. Usual stuff. Now, on a sliding scale of 1 to 100,

0:05:02 > 0:05:04how pleased are you at this as a category?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I was when it first came up. I'm now...

0:05:07 > 0:05:08really annoyed at myself,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11because there's a couple on there that I'm sure,

0:05:11 > 0:05:13when you say them afterwards, I will know.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16But I'm going to have to go for an obvious one.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Are you going to go for one of the ones that Richard has stepped out with...

0:05:19 > 0:05:21or one of mine?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Um...I'm going to go for Heidi Klum.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Oh, one of mine.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27There you go.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28Heidi Klum.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Let's see if it's right, Heidi Klum,

0:05:29 > 0:05:31and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34It is right.

0:05:34 > 0:05:3775 - another high score.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38APPLAUSE

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yes, another big score for Heidi Klum.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45She's married to Seal.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48He proposed by... He chartered a helicopter

0:05:48 > 0:05:51and flew her to an ice cave in Whistler.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53She walked into the ice cave and there was a bearskin rug

0:05:53 > 0:05:56and he had champagne, and he sang her a song on a bearskin rug

0:05:56 > 0:05:58inside a specially built ice cave.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Did not last. Such a shame.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Anyway, now then, Alan. Welcome to the show.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Where are you from, Alan?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'm from North Shields, Tyne and Wear.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- NE29?- NE29, that's the postcode. - That's your postcode.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Very precious in North Shields about the postcode.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13And the number of your house?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15LAUGHTER

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Can we do that thing? We quite often have a lot of fun asking people their PIN numbers. If you could just...

0:06:23 > 0:06:25So, Alan, what do you do?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I work for the Rugby Football Union as a training manager.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Is rugby a big hobby of yours? - Yeah, it is.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35You know, having a job which revolves around your hobby is great.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- So, yeah, I'm really passionate about the sport.- Good stuff. Now then...

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Supermodels.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42My second biggest passion, actually.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44LAUGHTER

0:06:44 > 0:06:45What are you going to go for?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Um...

0:06:47 > 0:06:49I only know... Well, I think I know one.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Claudia Schiffer.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Claudia Schiffer, says Alan.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Claudia.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, 95... Ooh!

0:06:59 > 0:07:0189!

0:07:01 > 0:07:02APPLAUSE

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Say what you like - people know their supermodels.- They really do.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Especially if you give them the surname and the initial of the first name.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13They really know them.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Sue. Remind us what happened last time. You are our only returning pair.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Well, the Germans got the better of me last time.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Yes.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23And it was the summer Olympic Games,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I didn't know the years, so...

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I had a guess and it was wrong.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32That was Round Two. We've got to hope you go a lot further this time.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33Now then, supermodels.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Can you get lower than 75?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Well, there's two left that I know,

0:07:37 > 0:07:39and that's Marie Helvin and Jean Shrimpton.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43So I'm going to go for, cos that's more my time, Jean Shrimpton.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Jean Shrimpton. OK.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Jean Shrimpton.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51It's right.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Well, there we are. You've gone past our lowest score so far.

0:07:55 > 0:07:5730. Very well done indeed, Sue.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58APPLAUSE

0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's a great score.

0:08:00 > 0:08:0130 for Jean Shrimpton.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Very good answer. Sometimes referred to as the world's first supermodel.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10She runs and owns a hotel in Penzance now, Jean Shrimpton.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11If you're looking for somewhere to stay.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13You were right as well about Marie Helvin.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Actually would have been a better score, Marie Helvin. 18.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Up the top there,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21it's the south Sudanese supermodel, Alek Wek.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Would have scored four points. Well done if you said that.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And a supermodel from the '40s and '50s,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28at the bottom, Dorian Leigh.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Terrific answer if you got that. One point.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32The best answer up there.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Thanks very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.

0:08:36 > 0:08:3730 the best score by some way, Sue.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Very well done.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Then 75, our next best score, Isobel and David.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Then up to 89, where we find Alan and Cliff,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47and then 95, Lynne and Mark.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Now, Mark, we're going to discover how much you know about supermodels,

0:08:50 > 0:08:54but I'm hoping it's a lot. Best of luck. We need a low score from you to keep you in the game.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05OK, let's put seven more supermodels on the board. And here they come.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06We have got...

0:09:16 > 0:09:17I'll read those all one last time.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Now, remember, we're looking for the first names of these supermodels.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30And, Anne, you're going to try and find the one you think

0:09:30 > 0:09:32the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33What do you make of this board?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Um, I don't know so many on this one as I did the last.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39There's a couple. Well, there's three or four,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42but a couple would be well known, I think.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45So I'm going to go for Cheryl Tiegs.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46- Cheryl.- Cheryl Tiegs.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Cheryl Tiegs. Well, the high scorers on 95 are Mark and Lynne.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52If you want to avoid becoming the new high scorers,

0:09:52 > 0:09:54you want to score 54 or less.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56There's your red line. Cheryl Tiegs.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Absolutely right.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05You are through to the next round. Very well done.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08Seven!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10APPLAUSE

0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's a fantastic answer, Anne.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Lovely low score. 37 your total.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Terrific work. Yeah, huge in the '70s - Cheryl Tiegs,

0:10:19 > 0:10:21the US supermodel.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Now then, Cliff.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Cliff, do you also live in NE29?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27No, I live in NE26.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31By and large, would you say people in NE26

0:10:31 > 0:10:33are a bit less precious about their postcode than...?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- No.- No? Really?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Which is the better?- NE29.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh, right!

0:10:39 > 0:10:40OK. Now then, Cliff,

0:10:40 > 0:10:43remember we are looking for the first names of these supermodels.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46You're on 89 at the moment. Mark and Lynne are on 95.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Obviously, if you could score five or less, that would be brilliant.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Doubt it.- It's possibly doubtful.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54But we need a nice low score from you.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Really poor for me, this. Er...

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Ellie Macpherson. It's all I know.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01You say Ellie Macpherson.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Can I just ask you to spell that?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- E-L-L-E.- E-L-L-E.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Let's see if Elle Macpherson is right, and if it is, how many people said that.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14It is right.

0:11:14 > 0:11:1683.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18APPLAUSE

0:11:18 > 0:11:2183 takes your total up to 172

0:11:21 > 0:11:22for Ellie, or Elle Macpherson.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Yeah, Elle Macpherson, but you spelt it right. The Australian model, known as The Body.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Her real name is Eleanor Gow. - Amazing.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- You learn every day, don't you? - You do.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Now, David.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35- Hello.- David, you're on 75.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38The high scorers are now Cliff and Alan on 172.

0:11:38 > 0:11:4196 or less is enough to see you through.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42David, what do you do?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm a Church of England vicar.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Very good indeed. And in your spare time... Of course, there's no such thing as spare time for a vicar.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Your vocation is 24/7, of course.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54But let's pretend you had some spare time. What would you like to do with it?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Probably go for a walk in the countryside

0:11:57 > 0:11:59with binoculars, do a bit of bird-watching.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02OK. Right up your street, I know - supermodels.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06So...look at this board, David.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10The only one I know is Naomi Campbell.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Naomi Campbell.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13OK, one up from the bottom. Naomi Campbell.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16There is your red line. It's nice and high.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17It's going to need to be, I think.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Let's find out. Naomi Campbell - is it right?

0:12:20 > 0:12:21How many people said it?

0:12:22 > 0:12:2394.

0:12:23 > 0:12:24Very well done.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26APPLAUSE

0:12:26 > 0:12:28You are through to the next round.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30169 your total. Very well done, David.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Another big score. It's bad news for anyone at home

0:12:34 > 0:12:36who thought that was Nicky Campbell.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Now you've got to go back to your congregation and explain

0:12:38 > 0:12:41you got through the first round on a supermodel question.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Could be worse.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45And finally, Mark.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Hello.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- How are you feeling about this board?- Not good.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Not good.- I knew more on the first board.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54I tell you what - for fun, Mark, shall we just go through it

0:12:54 > 0:12:57and you can maybe just guess at some of them?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Talk us through your thinking on M Kerr, for example.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Mary.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Do you want to have a crack at Turlington?- Chrissy Turlington.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Um...

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Tia Patitz.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Annette Colby.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Which of those are you going for?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Chrissy Turlington.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Chrissy Turlington.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15OK, well, here comes your red line.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Again, it's quite high.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Let's see if Chrissy Turlington is right, and, if it is,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21let's see how many people said Chrissy.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Oh, bad luck, Mark!

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Bad luck, Mark.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29You're going to kick yourself when you know what it is.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Unfortunately, an incorrect answer scores you a maximum 100 points.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35That takes your total up to 195. I'm sorry.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37It was very, very close, Mark.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41You've obviously heard the name somewhere before, but it's Christy, I'm afraid.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43We couldn't accept Chrissy. It is a different name.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Would have scored 39 points. Would have been a terrific answer.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47M Kerr...

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Not Mary, I'm afraid. That would have been a good guess.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's actually Miranda Kerr. Would have scored you 19 points.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Right at the bottom there,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57it is Anita Colby. Two points.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58A terrific answer.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00And it is Tatjana Patitz.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02They call her "the forgotten supermodel",

0:14:02 > 0:14:04which is why she only scored one point.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Thanks very much. OK, so at the end of our first round,

0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm afraid our losing pair, with a high score of 195...

0:14:09 > 0:14:10Mark and Lynne.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Yes.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14You were the victim of that round, Mark. That was a tough, tough round.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16That second board, particularly tough.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Good news is we'll see you next time. We'll look forward to that.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Mark and Lynne, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Now only three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39another pair will be leaving us.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Anne, Sue - fabulous work in that last round.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45By a long, long way the lowest scorers.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49But then, you are a returning pair, so we would have expected nothing less.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Cliff and Alan, well done - you're through.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54David and Isobel, very well done indeed.

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Our category for this second round is...

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:15:11 > 0:15:16to name as many words ending in R-A-G-E as they could.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Words ending R-A-G-E, Richard.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22We are looking for any word which has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English

0:15:22 > 0:15:24that ends with the letters R-A-G-E.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Please, as always, no hyphenated words, no proper nouns.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31There's about 45 or 50 words in the Oxford Dictionary of English. Very, very best of luck.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Thank you very much indeed.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34So then, David.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I think I'll go for suffrage.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it. Suffrage.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's right.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Very well done indeed!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Three.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59For suffrage.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Straight in there. No mucking about there.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Yeah, the right to vote in political elections. Terrific answer. Good start.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07Cliff.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Strange.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Strange.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14OK, strange.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Let's see if that's right,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Bad luck, Cliff. I'm afraid an incorrect answer

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- scores you the maximum of 100 points.- Sorry, Cliff.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30It's A-N-G-E at the end of strange.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- So can't accept it. - Realise now, yeah.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34OK. Now then, Sue.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37So we're looking for words ending in R-A-G-E.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'm going to go for courage.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43Courage. Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said courage.

0:16:51 > 0:16:5242 for courage.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54APPLAUSE

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Ooh, that's high. 42 for courage.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Safe and sound there. Yes, it's easy to think of words that end A-G-E.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03And it's R-A-G-E.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06I bet people at home are shouting things out and then they think, "No, hold on..."

0:17:06 > 0:17:09I say that because I was just thinking of a word ending A-G-E.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13Hmm. Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Three - the best score

0:17:14 > 0:17:16of that pass - David and Isobel.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Very well done. Up to 42,

0:17:17 > 0:17:18where we find Sue and Anne,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21then up, I'm afraid, to 100, where we find Cliff and Alan.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well, anything could happen in the next pass.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I have made a terrible mistake on this round in the past.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Oh!- So I know how easily it can be done.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Very, very easily.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33We went through words ending I-N-D.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- That's right, isn't it?- Yes.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39It was words ending I-N-D, and Xander always likes to have an answer at the end of the round.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41He was very excited this time.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43He said, what's the score for befriend?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44LAUGHTER

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- See?- It's exactly the same.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Now then.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49We'll come back down the line.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56OK. Now, Anne.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01You're on 42. The high scorers are Alan and Cliff on 100.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02If you can score 57 or less,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Well, I can think of a couple. One's...

0:18:07 > 0:18:11I'm sure's right, but I haven't got the courage to say it.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Um...

0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm going to go for...

0:18:17 > 0:18:19..enrage.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Enrage. Enrage, says Anne. Let's see. Here is your red line.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Below that, through to the head-to-head.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Let's see how many people said enrage.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Very well done.

0:18:35 > 0:18:3629.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37APPLAUSE

0:18:37 > 0:18:4029, taking your total up to 71.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47I might ask you at the end of the round, Anne, what your risky one would have been. We'll try it out.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Alan, you've got a bit of a mountain to climb here, I'm afraid.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56I've got one. I'm not sure whether it's actually English, though.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'm going to go for it. I am going to go for...

0:18:58 > 0:19:00entourage.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Entourage, says Alan.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05There's no red line for you, as you're the high scorers.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Let's see how many people said entourage.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Absolutely right.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Ten.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18APPLAUSE

0:19:18 > 0:19:19That's a good score.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Sadly, it's not enough, though.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24110 is your total.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Good answer. Not quite good enough, I'm afraid.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Your entourage has grown crazily since our first episode of this.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34You used to just have four or five. Now there's like 30 or 40 people with you all the time.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Well...- You've got two guys to do your eyebrows. One for right eyebrow and one for left eyebrow.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40That's a time consideration. That's not a...

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Do you think? You've got one guy to carry your umbrella

0:19:43 > 0:19:45and the other guy to put your umbrella up.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46LAUGHTER

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Do you think that might be pushing it a bit?- I'll look into it.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Now, Isobel.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53So we're looking for words ending in R-A-G-E.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56The scores are...71 to Anne and Sue,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58110 to Alan and Cliff

0:19:58 > 0:20:00and you are on three. So, yes,

0:20:00 > 0:20:05- even if you score 100 points, you're still through to the head-to-head.- That's fine.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06I'm going to go for barrage.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Barrage, says Isobel. No red line for you as you're already through,

0:20:09 > 0:20:11but let's see how many people said barrage.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14It's right.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- 15. - APPLAUSE

0:20:22 > 0:20:2415 takes your total up to 18.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31As in "There are a barrage of people in Xander's entourage".

0:20:31 > 0:20:35It's a good answer. Anne, what was your risky one going to be?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I was thinking of borage - is it a herb or something?- It is a herb.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Would have scored you four points.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43I was also going to say, David, you would have scored fewer points

0:20:43 > 0:20:45than you got if you'd said vicarage.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Wow!

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Would have scored you two points.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Would have been a great answer.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Now, Xander, do you have an answer? - I've got one.- Does it definitely end R-A-G-E?

0:20:58 > 0:20:59I think it does.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I think...arbitrage.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04It's a pointless answer.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Oh! Good!

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Very well done.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers here.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14See if you got any of these at home.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Arbitrage - how about that?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Cooperage.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Demurrage, which is... You know what a demurrage is, right?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24I imagine a fair amount of that will be going on if I have to reduce my entourage.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Absolutely, because

0:21:26 > 0:21:29it's the fee that you have to pay to the captain of a chartered ship

0:21:29 > 0:21:31if you fail to...

0:21:31 > 0:21:32Exactly!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35..unload all of his cargo in time.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Demurrage.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Let's take a look at some more.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Effleurage - you have an effleurage massage artist,

0:21:41 > 0:21:44because that's the person who does...it's like a massage.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45That's what Helen does.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- In your entourage.- Right. OK.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Harbourage.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Porterage would have been a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55Quarterage.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Steerage, and teacherage,

0:21:57 > 0:22:00as in...that's essentially how old your teacher is.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of that round,

0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'm afraid our losing pair, with a high score of 110, it's Alan and Cliff.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm really sorry. We have to say goodbye. You made it to Round Two.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13You got through supermodels. All of them.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18We have to say goodbye now, but we'll see you next time. Thanks for playing. Alan and Cliff.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20APPLAUSE

0:22:21 > 0:22:25But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Congratulations, Anne and Sue, David and Isobel.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38which currently stands at £1,000.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Now, to decide which pair will go through to the final and play for that money,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44you are now going to go head-to-head.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46The difference is, you are now allowed to confer.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Now then, Anne and Sue.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Brilliant. Last time, Round Two, you went out.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58This time, you've sailed through to the head-to-head, and you're our lowest-scoring pair.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01David and Isobel, some lovely low scoring from you.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Very good play all round,

0:23:02 > 0:23:04and you can pool your resources in this round.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07So anything can happen. I think it'll be very close. Best of luck.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09We're going to play the head-to-head.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17OK, here comes your first question.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19And it concerns...

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Man-made arches. Richard.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27We're going to show you five pictures of man-made arches.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30We need you to tell us in which cities you would find these five.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Pick the most obscure, you'll get the points.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34OK, thanks very much.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Let's reveal our five man-made arches, and here they come. We have got...

0:23:57 > 0:24:00There we are. Five man-made arches.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Now then, Anne and Sue, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09THEY CONFER

0:24:13 > 0:24:14- Not sure. Really.- OK.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16But we're going to have a stab at B.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18It might be the Brandenburg Gate.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20In which city?

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Oh, beg your pardon!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Um...oh, Berlin, won't it be? Berlin.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Berlin. OK.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29B - Berlin, say Anne and Sue.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32B - Berlin. David and Isobel.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The only one I definitely know -

0:24:34 > 0:24:35I hope I know -

0:24:35 > 0:24:38is C, which I think is Paris. It's the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41You thought B was Berlin.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42I think so, yes.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I think E is...

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Sydney, but I'm not sure.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48A and D, I've no idea.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52I think we ought to take a punt on E.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56- OK.- OK. E - Sydney.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58E - Sydney.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00So we have B - Berlin and we have E - Sydney.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Anne and Sue said Berlin for B.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Berlin.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Oh, sorry!

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Not Berlin.

0:25:12 > 0:25:13Not Berlin.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Now, David and Isobel have said that E is Sydney.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20All you have to be is correct to win this point. Let's find out. Are you correct?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24No, you're not!

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Two incorrect answers,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29which means after one question, you're still drawn 0-0.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Richard.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34You would have got the point if you'd just said Paris for the Arc de Triomphe.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35C was Paris.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Would have scored 53 points.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now, both teams thought B was Berlin.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's not. It's a pointless answer.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's in Brussels.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49A is in New York. It's in Washington Square.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Would have scored you nine points.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55D - thought someone might have gone for -

0:25:55 > 0:25:56it's in Baghdad.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Would have scored you 13 points.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00The fists are modelled on Saddam Hussein's own hands.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02And E - not Sydney.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04It is St Louis.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Four points, it would have scored. - OK. Thanks very much.

0:26:09 > 0:26:14Here comes your second question. Nobody has won a point yet, so it's still a wide-open field.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16David and Isobel, you go first this time.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17It concerns...

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Astrology. Richard.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26We're going to give you five clues now to facts about astrology. Give us the most obscure answer.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28OK, thanks very much.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Here are our five clues

0:26:29 > 0:26:31and they are as follows...

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I'll read these all one more time.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13There we are. Five clues to facts about astrology.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14David and Isobel, you go first.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17THEY CONFER

0:27:23 > 0:27:25We'll go for the title of the 1967 stage musical,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28and that, I think, is Hair.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Hair, say David and Isobel. Hair.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Anne and Sue, talk us through the rest of the board.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36It's Russell Grant who appeared in Strictly.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I think it might be...

0:27:40 > 0:27:41..Aries,

0:27:41 > 0:27:42between Pisces and Taurus.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Mystic Meg was on the lottery programme.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46And...

0:27:46 > 0:27:48he was like a sort of...

0:27:48 > 0:27:49- archer.- Yeah.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Sort of...thing.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Which one do you want to go for?

0:27:55 > 0:27:56- No, you pick.- No, no, no.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Honestly.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- No.- No, I'm not picking. I got Brandenburg Gate right(!)

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- We're going for Aries for number two.- Aries.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Aries. Now, David and Isobel went for Hair,

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Anne and Sue for Aries. Let's see.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Hair. Is that right, and how many people said it if it is?

0:28:16 > 0:28:17Hair is right.

0:28:20 > 0:28:2135.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23APPLAUSE

0:28:24 > 0:28:2535 for Hair.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now, Anne and Sue have gone for Aries.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Traditionally, the first sign, coming between Pisces and Taurus.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Aries. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Spot on.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Is it going to beat 35?

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Oh, it's going to be close. 39 for Aries.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44APPLAUSE

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Very well done, David and Isobel. After two questions,

0:28:48 > 0:28:49you are up 1-0.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Yes, they were all quite high-scoring answers in this round.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54You're right about Russell Grant.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Would have scored you too many points. Would have scored you a 47.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00The astrologer - you're right again, it was Mystic Meg,

0:29:00 > 0:29:03but it's actually the biggest answer up there. 56.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06And the mythological creature is the centaur.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10And that would have scored you 18 points.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Thanks very much indeed. So here comes your third question.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Anne and Sue, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18It concerns...

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Films adapted for the stage. Richard.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27We're going to show you the names of five films which have been adapted into West End musicals.

0:29:27 > 0:29:32But we've taken out alternate letters. Can you fill in those letters and give us the most obscure?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35OK, let's reveal our five films adapted for the stage. And here they come.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36We have got...

0:29:51 > 0:29:54I'll read those again, without the blanks.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55We've got...

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Anne and Sue, you go first this time.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09THEY CONFER

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Um, we'll try the second one. We think Sister Act.

0:30:16 > 0:30:17Sister Act.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Sister Act. Now then, David and Isobel, talk us through the board, if you can.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23You do it.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Um, the first one's Hairspray.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29And the last one's Billy Elliot.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30But...

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Third and fourth...

0:30:34 > 0:30:36I'm sure I'll kick myself once you say it,

0:30:36 > 0:30:38but I just can't...

0:30:38 > 0:30:39can't put a name to them.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41What shall we go for?

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Billy Elliot?

0:30:42 > 0:30:44We'll go for Billy Elliot.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46You're going to go for Billy Elliot. OK.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48So we have Sister Act, we have Billy Elliot.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Anne and Sue said Sister Act. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:30:54 > 0:30:55It's right.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02Three.

0:31:02 > 0:31:03APPLAUSE

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Very, very well spotted. Sister Act.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13David and Isobel went for Billy Elliot. Let's see if that's right,

0:31:13 > 0:31:15and if it is, how many people said that.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's right.

0:31:20 > 0:31:2172.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's not going to beat three.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Which means, after three questions, you are absolutely equal, with one each.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Some very good answers. Best answer up there, Sister Act.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35And, actually, Billy Elliot is the highest-scoring answer up there.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39You would have been better off if you had said Hairspray, because it would have scored 31.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41The other two... Xander, do you know...?

0:31:41 > 0:31:43I can see the bottom one. Mary Poppins.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Mary Poppins. Absolutely. Would have scored 11.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48The one in the middle - you can't see?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- I...- Kevin Bacon was in the film.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Oh, Footloose!- Footloose.

0:31:52 > 0:31:53Would have scored 14 points.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Well done if you got all five of those.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your fourth question.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00The decider.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04It concerns...

0:32:06 > 0:32:07LAUGHTER

0:32:08 > 0:32:10OK. James I. Richard.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14I'm going to show you five clues to facts about James I of England,

0:32:14 > 0:32:17also King of Scotland, of course. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, let's reveal our five clues about facts about James I. Here they come.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21We have got...

0:32:35 > 0:32:36I'll read those all one final time.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51There we are. Five clues to facts about James I.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54And David and Isobel, you go first this time.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56THEY CONFER

0:33:03 > 0:33:04Um...

0:33:05 > 0:33:10We'll go for the century in which he became King of England. That's, I think, the 17th century.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14The 17th century, say David and Isobel. The 17th century.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Anne and Sue, the board is all yours.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Talk us through it.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20THEY LAUGH

0:33:20 > 0:33:24No, we're at a bit of a standstill on this one, I'm afraid.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25Um...

0:33:28 > 0:33:30I've no idea!

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Stuart for the bottom one.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33It's a stab.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35The name of his Royal dynasty - Stuart.

0:33:35 > 0:33:36So we have the 17th century

0:33:36 > 0:33:38and we have Stuart as the name of his Royal dynasty.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42David and Isobel said the 17th century. Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46It is right.

0:33:51 > 0:33:5224.

0:33:52 > 0:33:53APPLAUSE

0:33:58 > 0:34:0024 for the 17th century.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04Now, Anne and Sue said Stuart. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07It's right.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11How far down is it going to go? Oh.

0:34:11 > 0:34:1342.

0:34:13 > 0:34:14APPLAUSE

0:34:14 > 0:34:1542. A good answer, though.

0:34:17 > 0:34:18Very well done, David and Isobel.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21After four questions, you're through to the final 2-1.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Richard.- Congratulations, David and Isobel. Well played.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27His regnal number as King of Scotland was... Do you know that one?

0:34:27 > 0:34:28- VI.- Yep, James VI.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Would have scored you 33 points.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32The name of his wife...

0:34:32 > 0:34:34was Anne of Denmark.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Ten points, it would have scored you.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38And the name of the European war that broke out 15 years into his reign

0:34:38 > 0:34:41is the best answer up there. It's a pointless answer.

0:34:41 > 0:34:42Thirty Years War.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Very, very well done if you said that.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Thanks very much indeed.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid...

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Anne and Sue, you've done so well throughout the show.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54A fantastic performance, particularly in Round One.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57But I'm afraid, in the head-to-head, you came up against David and Isobel

0:34:57 > 0:35:00and, let's face it, James I as well.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Not a great subject for you, I think.- No, not at all!

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Sorry about that. But it's been lovely having you on the show.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09Thank you so much for playing. Anne and Sue - lovely contestants.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14But for David and Isobel, it's now time for our pointless final.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Congratulations, David and Isobel. You've seen off all the competition

0:35:22 > 0:35:24and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:33 > 0:35:36and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.

0:35:36 > 0:35:37APPLAUSE

0:35:41 > 0:35:45Well, you've hardly put a foot wrong all show. It's been fantastic.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50First, though, you have to choose a category

0:35:50 > 0:35:52and you can choose from these five options. They are...

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Oh, no!

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Pop Music is literally my dream round,

0:36:05 > 0:36:08but I know that I'm going to be under so much pressure

0:36:08 > 0:36:09if we choose Pop Music.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Hang on, Isobel - it's literally your dream round!

0:36:12 > 0:36:16- What are you worrying about? - It's not my dream round - that's the problem!

0:36:16 > 0:36:19Pop Music... It could be my era.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23- In which case, we're sunk. - Let's just hope it's '90s!

0:36:24 > 0:36:26OK, so you're going to go for Pop Music?

0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Very good. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:36:33 > 0:36:37as many best-selling singles in the UK as they could.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Best-selling singles. Richard.

0:36:39 > 0:36:44Yes, we're looking for the title of any of the 50 best-selling singles in UK chart history.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46That's from the first chart in 1952

0:36:46 > 0:36:48right through to 2012, please.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51So from 1952 through to October 2012.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53The 50 best-selling singles in the UK.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Very, very best of luck. Where there are double A-sides,

0:36:56 > 0:36:58we'll count both answers are separate answers.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04All you need to win that £1,000 jackpot

0:37:04 > 0:37:06is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07- Are you ready?- Yes.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14OK. Um...

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21OK. I can only think of stuff in the '90s that I know,

0:37:21 > 0:37:22so things like...

0:37:22 > 0:37:25number one for a long time.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yes. Come up with something like that.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Take That, Back For Good.

0:37:28 > 0:37:29- That was number one for ages.- OK.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Try that. Um...

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Fleetwood Mac, Albatross, was a hit twice.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Hit single twice, so it could be.

0:37:37 > 0:37:38Um...

0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Bryan Adams was number one for a long, long time.- I think that'll be the most.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Spice Girls... Take That as well.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Oh, gosh!

0:37:50 > 0:37:55Robbie Williams, Angels... That's going to be well-know, I think.

0:37:55 > 0:37:56I think...

0:37:56 > 0:37:57Do you think...?

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01I think we'll go for that.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Ten seconds left.

0:38:05 > 0:38:06I don't know.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Oh!- I think we'll go for those ones.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- OK, and Take That as well.- OK.

0:38:13 > 0:38:18OK. You've arrived not entirely happily, by the looks of things, but they sound like good answers to me.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20What are they?

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water.- OK.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Albatross by Fleetwood Mac.- OK.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31- And we'll go for Take That, Back For Good.- Take That, Back For Good.

0:38:31 > 0:38:36OK. So we were looking for the 50 best-selling singles of all time in the UK.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Those are your three answers.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:43 > 0:38:44I'd say Albatross.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46- OK, yeah.- OK, Fleetwood Mac, Albatross.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48We'll put that last. And your least likely?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Take That.- Take That, Back For Good.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are. We have got...

0:38:58 > 0:39:00So we were looking for the best-selling singles in the UK.

0:39:01 > 0:39:06Back For Good was your first answer, the one you thought would be least likely to be pointless.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10Now, remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £1,000.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13So let's find out how many people said Back For Good. Is it right?

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Is it pointless?

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Oh, no! Incorrect.

0:39:21 > 0:39:25Wow! So that tells us something. It didn't make it into the top 50.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer there.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30But two perfectly good answers still left on the board.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let's hope one of those will win you that jackpot.

0:39:33 > 0:39:34£1,000. David,

0:39:34 > 0:39:36what would you do with £1,000?

0:39:36 > 0:39:38I think probably the first thing I'd do is...

0:39:38 > 0:39:39Split it!

0:39:39 > 0:39:41We'll split...

0:39:41 > 0:39:43My part, we'll probably go for...

0:39:43 > 0:39:46I'll probably book a table at a restaurant

0:39:46 > 0:39:50- and take some friends and family, and we'll just have a really nice meal, I think.- Very good.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51- It'll be fun.- Very nice.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Isobel?- I wouldn't do that with mine.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55I'll be paying for dinner!

0:39:55 > 0:39:57That's fine!

0:39:58 > 0:40:02OK. Well, we are looking for the best-selling, top 50 best-selling, singles in the UK.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Let's hope nobody said your next answer - Bridge Over Troubled Water.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08- David, this is the first one you came up with.- Yes.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so for £1,000,

0:40:11 > 0:40:13let's see how many people said Bridge Over Troubled Water.

0:40:16 > 0:40:17Oh, no!

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Another incorrect answer.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24Bridge Over Troubled Water didn't trouble the top 50 singles of all time.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot,

0:40:27 > 0:40:29which means everything is now riding on Albatross.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33You said this was your most confident shot at a pointless answer, so let's find out.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35For £1,000, is Albatross pointless?

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Is it correct?

0:40:40 > 0:40:41Oh, bad luck!

0:40:41 > 0:40:43APPLAUSE

0:40:47 > 0:40:49I'm so sorry. Three perfectly good answers there.

0:40:49 > 0:40:54Really surprising that at least two of those didn't make it into the top 50 of all time,

0:40:54 > 0:40:57but clearly they had to be massive sellers to earn that place.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:00 > 0:41:03so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04That rolls over to the next show.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08We've loved having you on the show, and you get to take home the Pointless trophy. Very well done.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10APPLAUSE

0:41:16 > 0:41:21That's tough luck. You gave us three number one singles there, but none of them in the top 50, I'm afraid.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25Back For Good sold over a million copies, but nowhere near the top 50, I'm afraid.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27The biggest scorers - you avoided all of them -

0:41:27 > 0:41:31(Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Love Is All Around,

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Do They Know It's Christmas? All those scored quite well.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Let's look at some of the ones that would have won.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38I'm sure some people at home would have got a few of these.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40- (Is This The Way To) Amarillo?- No!

0:41:40 > 0:41:43..was a pointless answer. Barbie Girl by Aqua

0:41:43 > 0:41:45sold nearly 1.8 million copies in the UK.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Believe by Cher would have been a pointless answer.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Mary's Boy Child, Boney M. Well done if you said that.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52Release Me, Engelbert Humperdinck.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Three Lions by the Lightning Seeds and Baddiel and Skinner,

0:41:55 > 0:41:57which is released every four years.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00And it's as relevant today as it ever was!

0:42:00 > 0:42:03Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05YMCA, Village People. You're The One That I Want,

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08I'll give you a few more.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Brown Girl In The Ring, Boney M.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Careless Whisper. Day Tripper by the Beatles.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15I Feel Fine by the Beatles.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18I Just Called To Say I Love You. That was pointless.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Oh My Lord by Boney M.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22Summer Nights would have been a pointless answer.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Think Twice, Celine Dion.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26And actually, the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK

0:42:26 > 0:42:28was sort of a pointless answer,

0:42:28 > 0:42:31because the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK

0:42:31 > 0:42:33is Elton John's 1997 version of Candle In The Wind.

0:42:33 > 0:42:38And that was a double A-side with Something About The Way You Look Tonight.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41So if anybody said that, it was a terrific answer, and it was pointless.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43So you knew some of those.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45I'm so gutted!

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- You might have gone for some of those?- Yeah.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, David and Isobel,

0:42:50 > 0:42:52but we've loved having you on the show.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Thank you so much for playing. David and Isobel.- Thank you.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Now, sadly, they didn't win today's jackpot,

0:42:58 > 0:43:01so it rolls over, which means on the next show,

0:43:01 > 0:43:02we'll be playing for £2,000.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:05 > 0:43:09- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
