0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:36To do that, you need the answers no one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:43- Couple number one...- Hi. My name's Geoff. This is my friend Michael and we're from Belfast.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Couple number two...- I'm Aimee. This is Chonnie. We're from Cheltenham.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Couple number three...- I'm Luke, this is Chloe. We're both students.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- And couple number four.- I'm Terry, this is my daughter Sarah. We're from Mansfield.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59These are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10That just leaves one more person. When aliens lands, he'll be held up as a beacon of human intelligence.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14If they probe him, well, so be it. He's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Are you well?- I am well.- Only Aimee and Chonnie back from the last show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:35We hope to see more of you today. The first two questions are very different.
0:01:35 > 0:01:42The first one, anyone who watches Pointless regularly should be getting better at.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- The second one is a cracker. It'll drive a lot of people mental. - Brilliant.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50All our questions have been put to 100 people.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that no one gave.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. David and Rachel didn't win it last time,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08so we'll add £1,000 to that and today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23OK. I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Our first category today is... Chemistry.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- You're right. Everyone's getting good at chemistry.- You'd hope so.- I am!
0:02:36 > 0:02:41I used to be terrible. Now I could probably sit a degree, I suspect.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And the question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Chemical Symbols. Chemical Symbols, Richard?
0:02:56 > 0:03:02On each pass we'll show you seven chemical symbols. Tell us the name of the element, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06There's going to be 14 elements to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12OK, so we are looking for the names of these chemical elements and here are the symbols.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14HE READS THE LIST
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'll read them one last time.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Now then, Geoff, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- You've come from Belfast.- Yep. - What do you do?- We both work for a software company
0:03:33 > 0:03:38running software for smartphones for the safety of people in the community.
0:03:38 > 0:03:45- What do you get up to when you're not doing that?- I'm a very keen traveller. I did a lot of sailing.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Sailing's a big passion of mine. Those sort of things I enjoy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- What about chemistry? - I'd rather talk about travelling.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- We can change the board if you like, but let's do this for now as it's up there.- OK.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- What are you going to go for? - I think Zn, zinc.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Zn, zinc, says Geoff. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It is right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:1476!
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- That may not be a bad score. 76. - It's probably not going to be a great score.- Well, I know...
0:04:21 > 0:04:27- Let's see how the rest do. - I suspect we might see 100 at some point from somebody.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33- Very good. Now, Chonnie, welcome back.- Hello. - What happened last time?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- We went out in the first round.- Bass players.- Yeah. It was quite hard.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42We were on podium four. We knew a few, but they'd gone.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- We had Adam Clayton playing for The Fray, didn't we?- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well, chemistry. Is that better?
0:04:51 > 0:04:57It's so annoying. We've been looking at the Periodic Table and I know W is a really obscure one,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02but I can't remember what it is. So I think K...is potassium.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07K, potassium, says Chonnie. Let's see. How many said potassium?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:1533.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Very well done. That's a great score.- Good answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The Latin for potassium is kalium, which is why it's K.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Now, Luke, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Tell us, what do you do? - I'm a drama student from Salford.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- What year are you in?- First year.
0:05:34 > 0:05:42- So what bits of drama do you particularly enjoy? - I quite like melodrama...
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- Do you mean melodrama or mellow drama?- Just everything over the top, really. And musical theatre.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- That's quite good for me.- Good stuff. What else do you get up to, Luke?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57We do a fair few things. Theatre, probably.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03I'm also a set designer for some different musicals coming up.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Fantastic. In Salford?- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Are you busy making models? - I'm more like the sketcher, the ideas.- Good stuff.
0:06:11 > 0:06:18- So theatre occupies a lot of your time.- Yeah.- Who knows, maybe a theatre round will come up.
0:06:18 > 0:06:25- What about chemistry?- I haven't done it since GCSE, but I got an A for it, so that's pretty good.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- OK.- Em, I know two on there, I think, but I'm going to say Ne...
0:06:30 > 0:06:36- Neon?- Neon, says Luke. Ne, neon. Is that right? How many people said neon?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:4433 is our best score so far, our lowest. You go down to 29.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Very well done, Luke.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55- Well played, Luke. He looks very smiley, doesn't he? - Yeah.- It's very nice, though.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Yeah. More smiley set designers wouldn't be a bad thing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- The guy who did this set, oh...! - LAUGHTER
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Thanks. Sarah...- Hello.- Welcome to the show. Where are you from?
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- Mansfield in Nottingham.- And what do you do?- At the moment, I'm a full-time mum to Toby and Freya.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- How old are they? - Freya's almost five and Toby's 1½.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23That is full-time. What else do you like to get up to?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28If I had more time, I like to travel. Especially city breaks.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- I've been to quite a few major cities.- Good. Geography will be good for you, then.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39- Hopefully.- How about chemistry? - The three I knew have all gone.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44You're the last person with this board. You could talk us through and think out loud.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Not going to happen, sorry!
0:07:47 > 0:07:54I don't know. I'd have to guess something. Oxygen is O2, so that's not O.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I don't know. Helium might be O.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Or whether to go for Cf because copper... I don't know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I might go for Cf, copper.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Cf, copper, says Sarah. Is that right? How many people said copper?
0:08:12 > 0:08:18Oh, bad luck, Sarah. That's an incorrect answer and scores you 100 points. Really sorry.
0:08:18 > 0:08:25Yeah, sorry, Sarah. This is where having done chemistry questions so often comes into its own.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Even I could do Cf, which is Californium.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33We've had that before. Seven points. You should have gone for O. It's oxygen.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39- Oh, right.- H2O is water. The O is the oxygen part of that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Na. Do you know Na?- Sodium?- Sodium. Would have scored you 30 points.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48And I even got W, which I wouldn't have got a few years ago.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52W stands for Wolfram, the German name for tungsten.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It would have scored 10 points.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01- Best answer there is Californium, but very impressive from our 100. - They are getting better.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- We're doing such a service for chemistry.- I do hope some people at home got more than before.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Thanks very much. Halfway through. Let's look at those scores.
0:09:11 > 0:09:1629, the best score. Luke, very well done indeed.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Looking good. Then up to 33 where Chonnie and Aimee are.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Up to 76, Geoff and Michael. See? It turned out to be not so bad
0:09:25 > 0:09:31- because Sarah and Terry are on 100. Terry, will you be good at this?- No.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Well, best of luck. You have first pick of the board. Pick wisely.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45OK, let's put seven more chemical symbols on the board.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47HE READS THE LIST
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'll read those one last time.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03We are looking for the chemical elements of which these are the symbols. Terry, you need to find
0:10:03 > 0:10:09- a really low-scoring one.- Yes. - Before you do that, what do you do?
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- I work as an account manager in retail.- What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I run an under-15s football team in the local league.- OK.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- What are you going to go for? - I think...
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I'm going to go for As, which I believe is silver.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31As, silver, says Terry. No red line for you,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34but let's see if silver is right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, no, bad luck, Terry!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer, taking your total to 200.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Sorry.- Sorry, not silver, but if you're going to go out, 200 is the way to do it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- That's really sending a message to your players.- Yes. LAUGHTER
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Chloe...- Hello. - Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07- What do you do?- I'm a drama and theatre student, like Luke. - Also in your first year?- Yep.
0:11:07 > 0:11:15- Did you meet on the first day? - No, we met before on Facebook. - Did you?- Quite modern, intit?
0:11:15 > 0:11:22- And you just discovered by coincidence you were on the same course?- We just hit it off.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28- We live together and...- Brilliant. What a head start you have on everyone else. Good stuff.
0:11:28 > 0:11:35- D you have any other interests? - I like horses. I've got a horse called Mary. That's what I do.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41"Will Mary be watching?" Maybe! She might be. Go on - let her in to watch.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46I will! She's got Facebook, so... she should manage it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:53- OK now, Chloe, what are you going to go for on this board?- I know three. I'm going to say Mg is magnesium.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59Magnesium. You're already through because Terry and Sarah are out of everybody's reach.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04No red line, but let's see if magnesium's Mg and how many said it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:0874.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Not bad at all. Takes your total to 103.
0:12:12 > 0:12:19The first person to recognise magnesium was Joseph Black in Edinburgh in 1755.
0:12:19 > 0:12:26Right, Aimee, more good news. You are breaking new ground. You're through to Round Two.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- First, we will require an answer, but you might be quite good at this. - I think I know two of them.
0:12:31 > 0:12:38I'm going to play it safe and I'm going to go for H for hydrogen.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44H, hydrogen, says Aimee. No red line, but how many people said H was hydrogen?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Wow. 52.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58- 52 taking your score up to 85. If I was hydrogen, I'd be disappointed.- I would be.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04It's by far the most abundant element in the universe. But other things begin with H.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08And people think of H from Steps before hydrogen.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- For a long time, people did think H from Steps was just a gas.- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18He is a gas! I've spent an hour and a half recording a show with him.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23He is the lightest and most abundant member of Steps.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Now then, Michael.- Hello.- Michael.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33We know you work with Geoff protecting online data. What do you get up to when not doing that?
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Well, I have a four-year-old daughter so these days I spend most of my time painting,
0:13:39 > 0:13:46- flower pressing or pretending to be an evil stepmother.- Aww! You're through to the next round.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52The board is yours. Why not just take us through? I feel you'll be good at this.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56C is carbon. Cu, I think, is copper.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00But as we're already through, the other three I'm not sure,
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- but I'll go for Bi. Is that Beryllium?- Beryllium.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Beryllium. Another favourite element on the show. Let's see if it's right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12No red line. You're already through.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16No! An incorrect answer, but it couldn't matter less.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22- That scores 100 and takes your total up to 176. - Absolutely worth a risk, Michael.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Be is Beryllium. Bi is bismuth.
0:14:27 > 0:14:34- That would have scored 9 points. - Bismuth creeping up! It used to be pointless.- Now people know it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I got a call from the British Bismuth Society.- Yeah, me, too.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- Are you able to go to that party? - It's going to be amazing.- Me, too.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48C, you're right, was carbon. That would have scored you 32 points.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52And you're right about Cu as well. That was copper, for 41.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Terry, you've got to be very careful with As. It's arsenic.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Would have scored you 10 points.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04The best answer up there is not pointless. Two points for Uup,
0:15:04 > 0:15:11which is ununpentium. A highly-radioactive metal. There's only a few atoms ever made.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Ununpentium, which is 115, element 115.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- There we go. - See, that's worth remembering.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21That's the new one to remember. Ununpentium.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Thanks, Richard. So we have a losing pair who will be leaving us.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Newest members of the 200 Club, Terry and Sarah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35- I'm so sorry.- It's OK. - We brought you all this way and then we gave you this.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Ununpentium, Terry. - Should have known better.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44They might rename it. It's just a temporary name.
0:15:44 > 0:15:51- If I get any further information as the series goes on, I'll let you know.- That's just a placeholder.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Yeah. I think it's quite good, though.- It's a bit ungainly.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- It's nice having "unun". It's like a double negative.- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05Now then, Terry, Sarah, we have to say goodbye, but we will see you again next time.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I'm sure you'll do much better. Terry and Sarah, thanks very much.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25So now only three pairs remain. At the end of this round, we lose another pair.
0:16:25 > 0:16:32- Aimee and Chonnie, welcome to Round 2!- Thanks.- Chemistry saw you through. Potassium!
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round 2 is... Sporting Greats.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Sporting Greats. Can you all decide who's going first and who's second?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52OK, let's find out the question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:16:52 > 0:16:58as many of the 50 highest-paid sports stars in the world as they could.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04- This is fun!- This will get lots of people at home thinking. A very interesting list, actually.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Anyone in the Top 50 highest sports earners of the year in Forbes magazine.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14They measured it from June 2011 to June 2012. Anyone on that list.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18They take into account prize money, endorsements, all sorts of things.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23To get in the Top 50, you had to be around about 21 million.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- That gives you an idea of the kind of money we're talking about.- OK.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34Now then, Michael. This is quite a fun round, from a speculative point of view.
0:17:34 > 0:17:42- Not my strong suit, sport.- But it's not sport. It's being curious and covetous of people's earnings.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Em, I'm going to go for... Rory McIlroy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54Rory McIlroy. Very good, Michael. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Oh!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Small fry, Rory McIlroy. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Scores you the maximum 100 points. - Sorry, Michael. But Rory did make 17 million.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14That got him to 91 on the list. I suspect in every list for the next 20 years, he'll be on it,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16but he wasn't then, I'm afraid.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Now then, Aimee...- Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- It's a tough one.- Mm.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28- Lots of choices.- Well, Michael's helped you a bit by showing the level you need to be above.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Yeah. I think I'm going to go for Lewis Hamilton.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Lewis Hamilton, says Aimee. Is it right? How many said it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Down it goes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4623!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Very well done, Aimee. 23 for Lewis Hamilton.- Well played.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Joint 24th on the list. Made 28 million.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03- Blimey.- That's a lot.- Yeah. Yep. Now then, Chloe...
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I'm useless at sport, but I'll say Fernando Alonso.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13- Fernando Alonso.- Yeah. - OK. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It's right!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Eight!
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Very, very well done. Eight for Fernando Alonso.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33That's a terrific answer, Chloe. Spanish Formula 1 driver.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38He earned 4 million more than Lewis Hamilton. 19th with 32 million.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44- That's a lot of money, too. - An awful lot of money.- We might have to say that after every one.- Yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- That's a LOT of money. - If I'd known, I'd have become world Formula 1 racing champion.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- I just didn't know. - You'd be brilliant in Formula 1.
0:19:53 > 0:20:00- Amazing, I'd imagine. - They'd have to make a special car. You'd be further ahead already.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02LAUGHTER
0:20:02 > 0:20:07We're halfway through. Eight was the best score, Chloe. Very well done.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13Then up to 23, where we find Aimee and Chonnie. Up to 100, Michael and Geoff.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Geoff, you've got a little bit of time to think of a really good, low-scoring, high-earning star.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:24 > 0:20:30We are looking for the world's Top 50 highest-paid sports stars.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36Luke, you're on eight. The high scorers are on 100. If you can score 91 or less,
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- you are into the Head to Head. - It's the worst category for me, it really is.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I've got two in mind. One of them will be on there.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50It's a question of whether I use that leeway Chloe's given us.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- I'm just going to say David Beckham. - David Beckham.- He better be there!
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Yeah, might be(!) There is your red line. If you get below that red line with David Beckham,
0:21:01 > 0:21:07you are through to the next round. Is this one where the line doesn't go down at all?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09David Beckham, is it right?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14It's right. And you are through. Very well done. 73.
0:21:16 > 0:21:2373 takes your total up to 81. I eat my words. I thought that was going to stay on 100.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28He's not playing at the top level, but his endorsements are so huge.
0:21:28 > 0:21:3246 million. He's eighth on the list.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38- Yeah.- Mainly due to all his many sponsorship deals. - Not far off 1 million a week.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- He's all right. He's no Fernando Alonso, but he's all right.- He'll be fine.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Chonnie...
0:21:45 > 0:21:50- Hello.- Chonnie, you're on 23. The high scorers are still Geoff and Michael on 100.
0:21:50 > 0:21:5376 or less gets you through.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58I know all the sports people's last names. I don't know their first names.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I'll go for Rafael Nadal because he does quite a bit of sponsorship.
0:22:02 > 0:22:09- Rafael Nadal...- Yeah.- There is your red line. If you get below that with Rafael Nadal, you are through.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Let's see how many people said Rafael Nadal.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's right.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And you're in the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:22:20 > 0:22:219.
0:22:21 > 0:22:27That's a great answer. Second best score, I should say, of the whole round.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Terrific answer. Joint 16th on the list, Rafa Nadal. Well played.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- What's the figure for him? - He made 33.2 million.- There we are.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42Now, Geoff, I have grave news. You are already the high scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46But I think you might have a good answer, maybe a pointless answer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51You can leave the show with a pointless answer, a £250 gift to the other players.
0:22:51 > 0:22:58I think I would know quite a few, but I'll try and give the guys £250 towards their total.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04I'm going to take a bit of a flyer because I know that cricket, in most countries, they wouldn't be on it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09I'm going to... It's a bit of a stab. Sachin Tendulkar?
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Sachin Tendulkar. Let's see if that's right. No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19But let's see if Tendulkar is up there and if he is, how many people said it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- It was worth a punt.- Yeah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29But not up there. I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35It was a terrific punt, but like Michael in the first round, it's worth having a pop at the end there.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41There's an awful lot of names on this list from baseball, NFL, basketball and that sort of thing.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46There's very few Brits on the list. Wayne Rooney is on the list. Would have scored 24 points.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Luke Donald, the golfer, would have scored 5 points. I'll go through some low scorers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55LeBron James and Wladimir Klitschko would have scored you 3.
0:23:55 > 0:24:02Peyton Manning would have scored 2. Valentino Rossi, the motorcyclist, would have scored you 1 point.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Let's take a look at some of these pointless answers.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09None of these will be too familiar to most British sports fans.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Darrelle Revis from the NFL, baseball's Derek Jeter was a pointless answer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Jeff Gordon, the NASCAR driver, was a pointless answer.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Two more baseball stars now - Joe Mauer and Johan Santana,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Mark Sanchez who is an NFL player, an American football star.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Sam Bradford, also another NFL star, and Tony Stewart, the race-car driver,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33and from baseball, Vernon Wells.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38If we look at the top three, the ones that most of our 100 people said...
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Roger Federer would have scored you 24 points. He's fifth on the list.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tiger Woods with 47
0:24:44 > 0:24:48and David Beckham was way out in the lead there with 73.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Do you know the richest sports star in the world? Tiger Woods was third.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55The top two are both boxers.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Number two was 62 million - Manny Pacquiao. Well done if you said that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03But way out on his own at the top with 85 million...
0:25:03 > 0:25:09That's all from fights, no sponsorship or anything. Floyd Mayweather Junior.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12You know, in that top 50, there's only one woman.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17One woman in the whole top 50 - Maria Sharapova. Would have scored you 4 points.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22There's only two women in the top 100. Li Na, the Chinese tennis player, also in that top 100.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Geoff and Michael going out, I would say, in a blaze of glory.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34You both took a punt. This is what we like on Pointless. They were good guesses.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38They were reasoned guesses, but I'm afraid they were both wrong.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44We'll look forward to seeing you again next time. Geoff and Michael, thanks very much for playing.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46APPLAUSE
0:25:46 > 0:25:50But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Congratulations, Aimee and Chonnie, Luke and Chloe.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04You are one step away from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £3,000.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:11We have to decide which pair will go through and play for that money
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and to do that, you go head-to-head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:20You are now allowed to confer. You can put your heads together and discuss which is the best answer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. Good luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:37 > 0:26:44- Yeah?- Yeah.- We'll show you five pictures of actors or actresses transformed for a specific role.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Can you name the actors or actresses you're about to see? Very best of luck.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Let's reveal our five transformed actors and here they come.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12There we are, five transformed actors.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Aimee and Chonnie, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19WHISPERING
0:27:24 > 0:27:28I think we're going to go for C, Christian Bale.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30C, Christian Bale.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32C, Christian Bale.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Now then, Luke and Chloe, talk us through the board if you can.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- Considering we do Drama, this was probably one of the worst categories.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45"A" is Tom Hanks in Cast Away. I love that film.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- E looks like George Bush. - Yeah, but it's not George Bush.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52But it's not George Bush, I know.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57And D... I recognise them. I just don't know the names.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01So, it's a case of do we go for a correct answer which might score lots
0:28:01 > 0:28:04or do we take a punt? What do you think?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Just go "A". - We'll just go with "A", Tom Hanks.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Tom Hanks, say Luke and Chloe.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Aimee and Chonnie said Christian Bale for C.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said Christian Bale.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It is right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Very well done. 11.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29APPLAUSE
0:28:29 > 0:28:3511 for Christian Bale. Now then, Luke and Chloe, that's what you have to beat with Tom Hanks, "A".
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said Tom Hanks.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's right.
0:28:46 > 0:28:4837.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50APPLAUSE
0:28:50 > 0:28:56Two good answers, but Aimee and Chonnie, yours was the best and after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Tom Hanks lost three and a half stone to be in Cast Away.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Christian Bale lost four and a half stone to be in The Machinist.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07He wasn't a big guy in the first place, was he?
0:29:07 > 0:29:12B, from Being John Malkovich. I watched the whole film and didn't realise it was her.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16It's Cameron Diaz. Would have scored you 5 points.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Now, D is Charlize Theron winning an Oscar for Monster.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23She would have scored you 13 points.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26And E, well, it is George Bush,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29but played by the wonderful Josh Brolin
0:29:29 > 0:29:32and would have scored you 2 points.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Very well done if you said Josh Brolin at home.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Thanks very much. Second question. Luke and Chloe, you go first. You must win this to stay in the game.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It concerns...
0:29:45 > 0:29:51- Richard?- We'll show you five songs with animals in the title, but we've removed the name of the animal.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Can you name the animals for these five?
0:29:54 > 0:30:00Let's reveal our five songs with animals in the titles with the animals missing. Here they are.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I'll read those one last time.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Luke and Chloe...
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- We know most of these.- Yeah. - I've probably got loads of people at home telling me one of them.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34But I think we're going to go with Surfin' Bird, The Trashmen.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Surfin' Bird, say Luke and Chloe.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Now, Aimee and Chonnie, talk us through the rest of the board if you can.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46We don't... We know it's Hound Dog, Elvis Presley.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51I think it might be Rabbit In The Headlights, but that would be a complete guess.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55It's just whether we go for that or not. What do you want to do?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Rabbit?- Yeah. Why not?- We'll go for Rabbit In The Headlights, please.
0:30:59 > 0:31:06Rabbit In The Headlights. So, Surfin' Bird and Rabbit In The Headlights, say Aimee and Chonnie.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Let's see if Surfin' Bird is right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's right.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Great answer. Look at that, 14.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Well done, Luke and Chloe.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23APPLAUSE
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Aimee and Chonnie, you've taken a punt on Rabbit In The Headlights.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31It sounds perfectly reasonable. Let's see if it's right.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Oh, no! Oh, bad luck.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42An incorrect answer, so, well done, Luke and Chloe, you're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47A perfectly reasonable guess, Rabbit In The Headlights, but it's Deer In The Headlights.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52It would have scored you 9 points. It would have won you the point.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Hound Dog, of course. What do you think Hound Dog scored?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59That'll be a high one. Eighty...seven.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- 95.- Wow!- 95 points.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Down at the bottom there, I Am The Walrus.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08And that was another big scorer. It would have scored you 52.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- And the top one, you don't know that one, do you?- I don't.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16You'd be a long time guessing this one - Superfast Jellyfish.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19It would have scored you 4 points.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Thanks very much. Very exciting. Neck and neck. This is the decider.
0:32:23 > 0:32:29Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for that jackpot. Our third question concerns...
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- Sweden. Richard? - We're going to give you five clues now to facts about Sweden.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42The team that gives us the most obscure in this, our youngest ever head-to-head, I suspect,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44will go through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Sweden. Here they come.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Aimee and Chonnie, you go first this time.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32We'll go with the tennis player who won Wimbledon five consecutive times
0:33:32 > 0:33:34as Boris Becker.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Boris Becker, say Aimee and Chonnie. Boris Becker...
0:33:38 > 0:33:44- Luke and Chloe...- It's really obvious, but we're going to go for Waterloo, Abba.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Abba, say Luke and Chloe.- We hope.
0:33:47 > 0:33:53Aimee and Chonnie, you said Boris Becker. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said it.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Oh, bad luck! Not Swedish.
0:33:58 > 0:34:04Which means, Luke and Chloe, all you have to be is correct with Abba, so let's find out - are you?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08You are. Very well done. 93, it scores.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- APPLAUSE - But that's enough.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17That's enough. Very well done. After three questions, Luke and Chloe, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23Youngest ever head-to-head and that must be the biggest score ever to win a place in the final, 93 points.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28Boris Becker only won it three times, they weren't consecutive and he's not Swedish.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34But apart from that, it's terrific work. You got the right initials. Bjorn Borg.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It would have scored you 56 points.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Swedish author of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? You know that one?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Larsson.- Stieg Larsson, yeah.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47It would have scored 19 points. Do you know the surname of the actors?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- No.- Skarsgard. It would have scored you 7.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54And the Swedish scientist was Carl Linnaeus.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00It was the best answer there. It would have scored 5 points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Thank you very much. The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round, it's Aimee and Chonnie.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09An amazing game all the way through. Christian Bale was great.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15- Rabbit, Boris Becker...- We knew it was BB. We just got the wrong name.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- I'm afraid this is when we have to say goodbye. This is your second time on Pointless.- Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26- But a very creditable performance. Thanks very much for playing, Aimee and Chonnie.- Thank you very much.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:33But for Luke and Chloe, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42Congratulations, Luke and Chloe, you've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54You now have a chance to win a Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £3,000.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Were you expecting that to happen?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I don't think we were, no.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09- Your first appearance on Pointless. Sadly, it will be your only appearance.- I know.- Well done.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Firstly, you have to choose a category from these five options.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Well, there's no Drama there.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- No, there isn't. - We're glad, to be fair.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- I'd say either Quiz Shows, Prize Winners or Famous Verses.- I'd agree.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Quiz Shows could be back in its day though and we're both quite young.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Let's say...- You're the decision maker.- Prize Winners.- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46OK, here comes your question.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:48 > 0:36:54to name as many post-war Nobel Peace Prize winners as they could.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- Richard?- We're looking for any person or organisation who has won the Nobel Peace Prize
0:36:59 > 0:37:01from 1945 up to 2012.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06You now have one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:06 > 0:37:12and all you need to win that jackpot of £3,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Ready?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- We think we are.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Right, OK, so I remember GCSE History...
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Marie Curie, she did one. - Yes, she did one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Did Martin Luther King or was that before?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Yeah, no... Yeah, yeah.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32"William Rontegen."
0:37:32 > 0:37:34He was X-rays or something.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Yeah. Is that not medical? - What is it...?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Peace.- Oh, is it Peace? Oh!
0:37:40 > 0:37:43LAUGHTER
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Did John Lennon win one? - Yeah.- John Lennon.
0:37:47 > 0:37:55- Greenpeace? I don't know.- Greenpeace is an organisation.- Yeah, but we're allowed organisations.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- OK, we'll say that. - Oh...- Who's peaceful?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Peace, Peace...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Gandhi!- He's peaceful. - Gandhi, he could do one.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Is that post-war? - No, no. Scratch that.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Ten seconds left.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Right...- So, shall we say Martin Luther King?- Marie Curie.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- And...?- Let's say "William Rontegen".- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:26OK, time's up. We were looking for post-war Nobel Peace Prize winners. I now need your three answers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Martin Luther King.- Yeah. - Martin Luther King.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Do you want to put Greenpeace in? Just for the crack. Let's just do it.- Yeah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Greenpeace.- Greenpeace. - And Marie Curie.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Not "William Rontegen"?- OK. - And "William Rontegen".
0:38:40 > 0:38:46- Do you want to say his name again? - "William Rontegen". - "William Rontegen".- "Rontegen"?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- "William Rontegen"?- I think so.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- William?- Yeah.- "William Rontegen"? - Yes, I think so.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- And your least likely? - Martin Luther, isn't it?- Yeah. - Martin Luther King.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Let's put those up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13We were looking for post-war Nobel Peace Prize winners.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Martin Luther King was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.- Yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Only one of these must be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26so for £3,000, how many people said Martin Luther King? Is it right?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28It is right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Let's see how far down the column Martin Luther King can take us.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34He's taking us down into the 30s.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37If this goes down to zero, you leave here with £3,000.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39It's still going down.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- Oh, one! - APPLAUSE
0:39:41 > 0:39:43One!
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- I'm quite proud of that.- Yeah. - That was you.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Now then...
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Very, very well done indeed.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58That's a cracking answer. You were one person away from walking off with £3,000. Very well done indeed.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01We're only interested in pointless answers,
0:40:01 > 0:40:07so you didn't score a pointless with that, but you have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13- Luke, what would you do with a share of three grand?- I'd love to see the world, but bring drama into that,
0:40:13 > 0:40:18so maybe theatre in other countries, China, Japan. I'd love to do that.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20OK. Chloe?
0:40:20 > 0:40:26I'd want to sort out some of my debts, but then I'd go travelling as well with a bit of theatre in.
0:40:26 > 0:40:32We want post-war Nobel Peace Prize winners. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Greenpeace.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so for £3,000,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39let's see how many people said Greenpeace.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Oh, bad luck, an incorrect answer.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48You have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53Now, "William" Roentgen, he featured in your GCSE History.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Yeah, I think so, but I can't pronounce his name. I don't think anybody here could.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04- It's not looking rosy, really, is it? - And there's always one who chooses Martin Luther King!- Yeah.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08We are looking for post-war Nobel Peace Prize winners.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Your final answer was "William" Roentgen. Is it right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Oh, no, bad luck!- Never mind.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- APPLAUSE - Bad luck.
0:41:21 > 0:41:27Listen, out of those three answers, you scored... With one, you only scored one point.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30One person said Martin Luther King.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35That was a great answer. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41You didn't find that pointless answer, so you don't win £3,000 which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:41 > 0:41:47- But we've loved having you on the show.- Thank you.- And you take home our Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Yeah, that's unlucky. Greenpeace, not a terrible guess. All sorts of organisations have won it.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Amnesty International won it. They scored one point.
0:42:01 > 0:42:07"William" Roentgen is a Nobel Prize winner, but it was in Physics. Not only that, it was in 1901.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- So, out in two parts.- Let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Some people at home will have got these.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Albert Schweitzer won it in 1952.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21The Liberian President won it jointly in 2011 - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26FW de Klerk won it alongside Nelson Mandela. Mandela scored 40 points.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Jody Williams, the American woman, won it for her campaign against landmines.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Shimon Peres won it with Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Tenzin Gyatso, better known as the Dalai Lama, won it in 1989.
0:42:38 > 0:42:44The United Nations Children's Fund won it in 1965, Willy Brandt, the German Chancellor, in 1971
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and there's Yasser Arafat as well.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Well done if you said any at home and tough luck in the studio.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Might you have said any of those? - No.- No.
0:42:53 > 0:42:59- Not at all. We would have been better off with Game Shows, wouldn't we? - Oh, well, never mind.
0:42:59 > 0:43:05Luke and Chloe, we've loved having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing. Really fun contestants!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:14Luke and Chloe didn't win our jackpot which rolls over on to the next show when we play for £4,000.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
0:43:16 > 0:43:22- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
