0:00:23 > 0:00:29Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong. This is Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40- And couple number one...- Hi. I'm Phil, from Blackburn. This is my daughter Caroline, from Cardiff.
0:00:40 > 0:00:46- Couple number two...- Hi, I'm Abi and this is my husband Ed and we're both from Bristol.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52- Couple number three...- Hi, I'm Bernie. This is my best friend Anne. We've travelled from Newcastle.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- Finally, couple number four... - I'm Euan, this is my friend Neil and we're students in Glasgow.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01These are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Thanks all of you. We'll find out more about you as we go along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11That just leaves one more person. He's a man so clever, he's worked out how to live without respiring.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Just watch him - I bet he doesn't breathe once. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi, everybody.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26That's quite a tough comic set-up for me to deal with.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32- Without holding my breath for 45 seconds...- I've been holding mine since I said it for no reason.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- I watch people underwater and hold my breath.- On television, if someone's underwater, you go...
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- I'm fine.- It's worse if they're underwater and they go to adverts. I hold my breath through them.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49OK, thank you. All our questions have been put to 100 people.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of them gave.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. It wasn't won last time,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09so we add £1,000 to that and today's jackpot starts off at £5,250.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23In this first round I'll take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29The pair with the highest score will be eliminated. Our first category today is...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Oh, good, it's Words.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Words. Abi, pleased with that? - Not really, no.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40OK, can you all decide who is going first and who is going second?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:02:49 > 0:02:53to name as many words ending in "..ink" as they could.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Words ending "..ink". Richard?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Any word with its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends "..ink".
0:03:01 > 0:03:07No hyphenated words or proper nouns, please. So any word in the Oxford Dictionary ending "..ink".
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Very good luck, and at home as well.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16Thank you. Now then, Phil and Caroline, you all drew lots and you get to go first.
0:03:16 > 0:03:23- Caroline, do you like these words rounds?- Usually.- They're more fun when you're not on the first podium.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- What do you do, Caroline? - I work for a comparison website. - Very good.
0:03:28 > 0:03:35- Are you actually online comparing things?- I'm in product development, finding new things to compare.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Biscuits!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We have done that in the office. We just haven't put it online.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46- What won? - Custard creams, actually, for dunkability and taste.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I'd go with that. Would you go along with that?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I wouldn't because I use comparethebiscuit.com.
0:03:55 > 0:04:03- They went for a Bourbon.- Which is not necessarily my favourite biscuit, but I respect that.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Caroline, what do you like doing when not comparing biscuits?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I do quite a lot of cooking and we do quite a bit of travelling.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Good stuff. Now then, words ending in "..ink".- Yeah.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22It's probably not a great choice, but it's the only thing in my head, so I'm going to say clink.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Clink. Clink says Caroline.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:3538.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- 38 for clink.- I think that's not a bad answer from the first podium.
0:04:43 > 0:04:51Amongst other things, it's a slang term for a prison, after a notorious medieval prison in London.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Now then, Ed, welcome to the show. Where are you from?- Bristol. - And what do you do?
0:04:56 > 0:05:02- I'm a civil servant.- Can I ask what branch of the Civil Service? - I work for Ofsted.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- And what do you do when not working for Ofsted?- I'm a big music fan. I play in a band.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- What do you play?- Guitar. And I sing.- What kind of band is it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15A rock band...of sorts.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Abi, are they good?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19They're loud.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24That's good. Loud's good in my book. What are you called?
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- Bosc Monitor.- Bosc Monitor. - Yeah, that's right.- Sounds good.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Is that a sort of technological thing I should know about?
0:05:33 > 0:05:40- No, it's a type of lizard. - Oh, is it?- Looks good written down. - Bosc Monitor.- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Everyone's on the internet now, nobody talks, so how it looks...
0:05:44 > 0:05:50That's good. Bosc Monitor. Good. Now then, words ending in "..ink"?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Eh...I'll go out on a limb a little here, maybe,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and stick with the lizard theme and say skink.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Skink. That sounds good. Let's see if skink's right and how many of our 100 people said skink.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Not many, I'd say.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Oh, two!- Well done! That's brilliant.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Very well done, Ed. A very good low score. But two people thought of skink!
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Cullen skink is a dish, so maybe people remember that. Most don't realise it's a lizard.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36A smooth-bodied lizard with very short arms and legs, or none.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42- Like a snake? - Certainly, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for one.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- What distinguishes a limbless lizard... One of my favourite bands, incidentally.- Great band.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- The thing about limbless lizard is it looks great written down. - LAUGHTER
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Anyway, what distinguishes that from a snake?- A limbless lizard?
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Usually, they've got bandages around... around where their arms were.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10- That sort of thing.- That would do it. Anne, welcome to Pointless. From Newcastle. What do you do?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15I work for a building society, but I also look after dogs when their owners go on holiday.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Wow. How many dogs can you take in?
0:07:18 > 0:07:23I've got a dog of my own, so I tend to take no more than two.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- And your dog's fine with that? - Yeah, she's quite accepting.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32She gets to stay inside while they have to go out to kennels.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- They stay in the house with us. - Now words ending with "..ink".
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yeah...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I think I better play safe and leave the hard stuff to Bernie.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm just going to say...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50..blink.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56Blink says Anne. Blink. Well, clink scored 38. Let's see what blink scores. How many said it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, it's right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Oh, 64 for blink!
0:08:07 > 0:08:13Yes, a big score there. Another way to tell the difference between a limbless lizard and a snake
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- is the speed at which they blink. - Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20That's where the blinking skink comes from. Known for its blinking.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Right.- "Is that a snake? No, it's a blinking skink."- Good.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Er, Neil...
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Welcome back. Neil and Euan, our only returning pair. What happened last time?
0:08:33 > 0:08:40Our knowledge of Wales isn't as good as we thought it was. We got caught out on Welsh politicians.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46- David Owen.- David Owen. - He sounds Welsh! And so did Shirley Williams, but it was...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Roy Jenkins. - It was Roy Jenkins we were after.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Anyway, words ending in "..ink".
0:08:52 > 0:08:58- Right, I'm thinking I'll be trickier here, so I'll go with rethink. - Good.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Rethink says Neil. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Very well done! Three for rethink.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21- Second-lowest score of the round so far.- That's terrific, Neil. Obviously, a word we all know,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24but people don't think of it because of the "re".
0:09:24 > 0:09:29When you're playing this round, if you like it, put a "re" on it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31LAUGHTER
0:09:31 > 0:09:38OK, we're halfway through. Two was the best score of that pass. Very well done, Ed and Abi.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44Then three, Neil and Euan. 38, Caroline and Phil. And then 64, Anne - a punishing score for blink.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Dear me. Bernie, a little bit of pressure on you to come up with a brilliant answer.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Now then, Euan, welcome back. You and Neil are in your third year reading Medicine.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- That's right. - Remind us what you get up to.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13As well as studying Medicine I work part-time at the tallest cinema in the world in Glasgow.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19- The tallest?- In the world. - Is it just a very high ceiling? - We've got 18 screens.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26- Really? All piled on top of each other?- Six levels.- Fantastic. Which screen do you look after?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- It can vary from shift to shift. - Right you are.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36- Now, Euan, words ending "..ink". - Well, Neil got us a very good answer there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41I don't think I'll top that, but I'm going to go for stink.
0:10:41 > 0:10:48Stink says Euan. The high scorers are Bernie and Anne on 64. So 60 or less sees you through.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Let's see if stink is right. There's your red line.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Well, stink is obviously right.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01And it sees you through. Well done. 44. 47, your total.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Neil did the heavy lifting, Euan.
0:11:06 > 0:11:13That's another way to tell the difference between a limbless lizard and a snake. The unpleasant odour.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17"Is that a snake? No, that's a stinking, blinking skink."
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Bernie...
0:11:21 > 0:11:27You are the high scorers on 64. Now, Bernie, you are from Newcastle,
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- but you're not FROM Newcastle by the sounds of your accent. - I'm from Melbourne.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38- How long have you lived in Newcastle?- 22 years. - And how was the change in climate?
0:11:38 > 0:11:45- I'm quite used to it now. I'd find it very hard to cope with Melbourne's summer now.- You would!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Now, Bernie, we want a word ending "..ink".
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Well, I'm going to go with the "re" theme and say relink.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Relink says Bernie. You're the high scorers.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01No red line for you. Let's see how far down it goes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Oh, bad luck, Bernie! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer and you score 100 points.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13That takes your total to an unbeatable 164. Sorry.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16No relink, even with a hyphen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21OK, now then, Abi, what do you do?
0:12:21 > 0:12:28- I'm a trainee accountant.- Down in Bristol?- I'm based in London. I live in Bristol.- You commute?!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- I commute on a weekly basis. - Right, good stuff.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Words ending in "..ink".
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I think...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39the word chink.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Yeah, chink.- Like chink in armour. - Yeah, chink of light.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49OK, no red line for you. Let's see if that's right and how many said chink.
0:12:57 > 0:13:0219. Not bad at all. 19 takes your total up to 21.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well played, Abi. A narrow opening, usually that emits a light.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13And, finally, Phil. You've had to wait a long time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- What do you do?- I'm retired now, but I was marketing manager for an independent school.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- Where was that?- In Blackburn. - What do you do now?
0:13:24 > 0:13:30- I seem to have developed an interest in cooking, actually.- Really? Did you have any interest before?
0:13:30 > 0:13:36- I had an interest in eating it, but preparing it's more fun with more time.- Absolutely. Good stuff.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Now then, "..ink". That's what we want your word to end in.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44My original word was Neil's rethink, so I'll just go with wink.
0:13:44 > 0:13:51Wink says Phil. You're through already, but let's see how far down the column wink takes us.
0:13:55 > 0:13:5670. Wow.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- 70 takes your total up to 108. - Another big score.
0:14:02 > 0:14:09Also another way to tell the difference between a limbless lizard and a snake.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15"Is that a snake? No, it's a winking, blinking, stinking sti..." Ah, nearly got there!
0:14:15 > 0:14:21"Is that a snake? No, it's a winking, stinking, blinking skink!" The expression goes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:29- Have you got a good answer for this? - I've got two. My safe one, which I'd give if I was playing. Uplink.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31That would have scored you 2 points.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- Good answer. - And my dangerous one...bethink.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- You'd score three points.- Really? - Uplink is better.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42There's some good pointless answers.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Doublethink. As coined by George Orwell in 1984.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- Hotlink, a computer term. Kiddiewink. That's nice, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58That was pointless. Nuffink is a pointless answer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01That's an appropriate score.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You can also spell it without the K, but not in this round.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Overdrink.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12Skinnymalink, a very thin person. That's rather a nice way... Rather a nice word.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Snowblink. Tiddlywink.
0:15:14 > 0:15:21And another computer term, weblink, would have been a pointless answer. Some good ones there.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Let's look at our top ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30These got mentioned the most. Pink, 84. Some very high scorers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Link, 87.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39And right at the top, an unusually high score - sink with 91 points.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Thanks very much indeed. So the pair who are heading home
0:15:44 > 0:15:47with a high score of 164, Bernie and Anne.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Bernie, there was nothing wrong with your approach. It was a good prefix.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- It would just help if it was the right prefix!- Well, you know...
0:15:57 > 0:16:03Bernie, Anne, we'll see you next time. In the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20So three pairs remain. At the end of this round we say goodbye to another pair. Now, Euan and Neil,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Round One last time. - I know. Dizzy heights.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30Two very good answers there. Skink was the best answer - that was yours, Ed - of that round.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Very well done indeed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is... Geography.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Can you all decide who is going to go first and who is going second?
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52OK, and the question concerns... islands of the world.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Islands of the world, Richard.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00We'll give you six clues to different islands. Can you name those islands? There's 12 in all.
0:17:00 > 0:17:07- Good luck.- OK, so we are looking for the islands described by these clues and our first board is like this.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09HE READS THE LIST
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'll read all of those six again.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Six clues, six islands. Caroline, you are first up.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54OK. I think I know four of them.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- This is good.- Hopefully!
0:17:56 > 0:18:01I think I'll go for the bottom one. Birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I think it's Corsica.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Corsica says Caroline. Let's see if it's right and how many said it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:1618!
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- Well played, Caroline. Good score. - Another good start.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28You can visit the Maison Bonaparte Museum.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34One of the big attractions. I imagine they're all quite small, the Maison Bonaparte.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Because he was small?- Spell it out!
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I don't know. I assume there's letters and furniture.
0:18:42 > 0:18:49- Buy some mugs.- There's extensive gardens, er, to the front and rear of the property.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- I don't want to buy it! - LAUGHTER
0:18:53 > 0:18:57It's beautifully situated, very close to Corsica train station.
0:18:57 > 0:19:05- Corsica Central? - It's about 90 minutes into London. It's quite a nice commute.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I'd be a great estate agent. How easy is that?- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- I might do that. - I thought you were a bit pushy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- A little bit needy.- Yeah, OK.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Abi...- Hi.- These islands.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23I think I know... four of those answers.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Oh, gosh.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Right. I think I'm going to go for the island that was awarded the George Cross.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33And I think it was Malta.
0:19:33 > 0:19:40Malta says Abi, awarded the George Cross in 1942. Let's see how many people knew it was Malta.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Absolutely right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:4618 our best score so far.
0:19:47 > 0:19:5022 for Malta.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Well played, Abi. Between January and July in 1942,
0:19:58 > 0:20:04- there was only one 24-hour period when no bombs fell on Malta.- Wow. - Bombed the whole time.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10- And received the George Cross for their bravery in the face of that.- OK, thank you very much.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Neil, you're last on this board. See what you'd like a pop at.
0:20:15 > 0:20:22Largest of the Channel Islands. Jersey or Guernsey. I can't remember which one of the two.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28Galapagos Islands...no. I only know one island in Canada and that's Prince Edward Island.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34I don't know about that either. I don't want to take a risk after how badly we did last time.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- So we'll go with Australian island state and Tasmania.- Tasmania.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Let's see if Tasmania's right and how many said it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47It's absolutely right.
0:20:49 > 0:20:5128!
0:20:54 > 0:20:5628 for Tasmania.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Discovered by Abel Tasman, who was enormously popular at the time, like One Direction.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- Massive. Tasmania. - That's where Tasmania's from. It was crazy.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12The largest of the Channel Islands? What would you guess for that?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'd pick one.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Guernsey.- Ooh! Pick one with a detective on it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Jersey.- Yay! That would have scored you 41 points.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The Canadian island?
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- That I do know. Newfoundland. - Absolutely. Scored nine points.
0:21:29 > 0:21:35And the best answer is the Galapagos island - Pinta, for one point. Very well done if you said that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Thank you very much indeed. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Best score, Caroline, was yours. Well done. Looking strong on 18.
0:21:45 > 0:21:4722 is where we find Abi and Ed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Then up to 28, Neil and Euan. Quite tightly grouped together.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58Euan, you are a little bit ahead. You'll need a low-scoring answer. Best of luck with that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:03 > 0:22:08We'll put six more clues on the board and here they are.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10HE READS THE LIST
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I'll read those all one final time.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57We are looking for the names of these islands from these clues.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Euan, you need a low-scoring one. - I know the middle four.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05It's a matter of working out which one to go for.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I think the island divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- I'll say Borneo.- Borneo says Euan.
0:23:13 > 0:23:20There's no red line for you. Let's hope Borneo takes you well down. Is it right? How many said it?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23It is right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Oh, it's a good answer. Very well done. Three, Euan!
0:23:33 > 0:23:39That's a great answer. Exactly what you needed at this stage. 31's your total.
0:23:39 > 0:23:45- Well played. It's over three times the size of the UK, Borneo. - Thanks, Richard.
0:23:45 > 0:23:52- There are the clues. We need the names of the islands. Ed...- Right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57The high scorers are Euan and Neil on 31. You're on 22. If you can score 8 or less,
0:23:57 > 0:24:03- you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers. - I'm going to go for...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07the country near Africa as Madagascar.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12OK, the large island country near Africa. Madagascar.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Let's find out if Madagascar's right.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It is right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:2821.
0:24:29 > 0:24:3343, your total, Ed and Abi.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39The fourth-largest island in the world. Lemurs have been so safe there for lots of reasons,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43but one is monkeys didn't evolve on Madagascar.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- So lemurs were safe.- Lemurs were safe. That's good.- That's nice.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- And it's nice not to have monkeys. - Oh, I like monkeys.- Do you?!
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- I don't like monkeys.- What are you, nuts?! Monkeys are amazing.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02They look nice on things, but I don't like them.
0:25:02 > 0:25:08- I'll tell you what I'm not scared of at all - lions.- Really? - They don't frighten me.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14Ten lions could walk on now, furious and hungry, everyone would run off screaming. Me, I'd be...
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Whatever. Just not scared of them. Not scared of them.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- LAUGHTER - Prove it, next show. Prove it. Bring ten lions on the next show.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28See what I do.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Right, now then... Now, now. I might!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Just...I might.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Now then, Phil, 43 is the high score now.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Ed and Abi on 43. If you can score 24 or less, you'll be through.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- Take us through the board. - I'm not sure of the top one.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58The word Erinmore comes in my head, but I don't know.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00The third one is Sicily.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02The last one I don't know.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08I will go for the fifth one. Part of the kingdom of Denmark. I think that is Greenland.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Greenland. Part of the kingdom of Denmark. There's your red line.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Get below that and you're through. Is it right? How many said it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Well done! You've done it! 13 for Greenland.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Takes your total up to 31. Very well done, Phil.- Nicely played.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38If Greenland were a country, it would be the 12th-largest in the world,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41but only 5% of it is habitable. Let's look at the rest.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47You'd be wrong on the Aran island. It's Inishmore that is the answer there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51And it's a pointless answer as well, which might surprise some people.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57Well done if you said it at home. The largest island in the Mediterranean is Sicily.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00That would have scored 35 points.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Do you know the English name of Rapa Nui?- I'd guess Easter Island.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- Yeah, with the big statues. That would have scored 28 points.- Thanks.
0:27:09 > 0:27:15So at the end of our second round, the losing pair with a score of 43, really not a bad score at all,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19but the others tied on 31. They just happened to score less.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22So we have to say goodbye to you.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28The good news is we get to see you next time. Ed and Abi, thanks so much for playing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34But for the remaining two pairs it's time for the Head to Head.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44Congratulations, Euan and Neil, Phil and Caroline. You're one step closer to playing for our jackpot,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47which currently stands at £5,250.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56To decide which pair plays for that money, you now go head to head. You can confer
0:27:56 > 0:28:03and the first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. Euan and Neil, out first last time.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- This time, what a change!- Fantastic. - What a change! Brilliant answers.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11We've had rethink, Borneo... Absolutely fantastic.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Phil and Caroline, first timers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Just astounding! You can put your heads together. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:28:25 > 0:28:32OK, here comes your first question and it concerns... famous frontmen/women of bands.
0:28:32 > 0:28:38- Richard?- We'll show you five pictures of people who fronted pop or rock bands.
0:28:38 > 0:28:46- Tell us with which band they are most associated.- Let's reveal our five famous frontspeople.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And they are...
0:29:02 > 0:29:09There we are. Five frontmen or women of bands. Euan and Neil, you've played best and get to go first.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Em, pretty hard there, but we'll go for D and go M People.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26D, M People.
0:29:26 > 0:29:33M People. Now Phil and Caroline, the rest of the board is yours. Talk us through it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:39- I don't know A. Do you know?- No. - B is Gwen Stefani, so would be No Doubt.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41C...I think
0:29:41 > 0:29:47potentially is... Jacob Followill from Kings of Leon, I think.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51D I think is Skin from Skunk Anansie.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54And E is Kurt Cobain from Nirvana.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57So I think we're going to go...
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Do we go for a definite right one? B or something?
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- We'll go B, Gwen Stefani from No Doubt. - You say B, No Doubt. B, No Doubt.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Euan and Neil said M People. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Oh, bad luck! Not M People.
0:30:19 > 0:30:26So Phil and Caroline merely have to be correct with No Doubt for B and you will win this point.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Absolutely spot on. Very well done. The point is yours.
0:30:33 > 0:30:3518!
0:30:37 > 0:30:4318 for No Doubt, which means, Phil and Caroline, you are up one-nil. Richard?
0:30:43 > 0:30:49- Well played. Let's go through all of the answers. A is... - Jim Morrison.- From The Doors.
0:30:49 > 0:30:5112 points.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57C is Caleb Followill, but it is the Kings of Leon, so it would have been very good.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It would have scored 5 points.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Now D is a pointless answer. It's not Heather Small from M People.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10It is Skye Edwards from Morcheeba. Very well done to anyone who said Morcheeba. A pointless answer.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14And E, it's not Kurt Cobain. It's Axl Rose.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Guns N' Roses. He would have scored you 16 points.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25Thanks very much. OK, here comes your second question. Euan and Neil, you have to win it to stay in.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30And it concerns... French cheeses.
0:31:30 > 0:31:37- Richard?- We'll show you the names of five cheeses all produced in France, but we left out alternate letters.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- Can you fill them in and give us the most obscure?- Let's reveal our five French cheeses.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I'll read those again.
0:32:06 > 0:32:12There we are. Five French cheeses. Phil and Caroline, you go first.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- What do you know?- The obvious ones.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16THEY CONFER
0:32:24 > 0:32:28OK, we'll go for the fourth one. Camembert.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Camembert. Camembert say Phil and Caroline. Euan and Neil, talk us through the cheese board.
0:32:33 > 0:32:40That was the one I was thinking we could have went for. The second one is Brie.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Do you know any of the other ones?
0:32:44 > 0:32:49It's going round my head. I don't know...French...
0:32:50 > 0:32:55I can't work any of the other three out.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- We'll have to go for Brie, then. - Why not?- We'll have to go for the second one as Brie.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Euan and Neil are going for Brie. So Phil and Caroline have gone Camembert.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Is it right? How many said it?
0:33:11 > 0:33:15It's right. Oh, it's a big one! 66.
0:33:18 > 0:33:2366 for Camembert. Euan and Neil, let's find out what Brie scored.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28If you beat 66, you remain in the game. Good luck.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33It's... Oh!
0:33:33 > 0:33:3591 for Brie!
0:33:35 > 0:33:42Well, very well done, Phil and Cam... I nearly said Phil and Camembert!
0:33:42 > 0:33:49Very well done, Phil and Caroline. After only two questions, you are through. I'm really hungry!
0:33:49 > 0:33:54That's what it is. You are through to the final, two-nil. Very well done.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57A punishingly high score, lads.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03- Let's fill in the rest of the board. Do you know any?- All but one. - The top one?- Vacherin.- Three points.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- What's the other one you know? - Pont L'Eveque.- Absolutely.
0:34:08 > 0:34:0912 points.
0:34:09 > 0:34:16The other one is the best answer. One point. Well done anyone who said Morbier. It scored one.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23Thanks very much indeed. So I'm afraid Euan and Neil, you've trailblazed
0:34:23 > 0:34:28throughout the whole show, but Phil and Caroline whipped it from you.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34Brie very high-scoring and M People... Did you know any of the others?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- It was a very bad Head to Head. - Tough board.- Tough.- Bad luck.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43It's been lovely having you. Thank you both, Euan and Neil.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50But for Phil and Caroline, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57Congratulations, Phil and Caroline. You beat all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:03 > 0:35:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at an impressive £5,250.
0:35:14 > 0:35:21Well, you've done very well, you being first timers. Cast your minds back to that first round,
0:35:21 > 0:35:26- when we had clink and blink. Were those yours? Oh, wink.- That was mine.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33- Did you think you'd get through?- No. - No, but you've done it in a brilliant Head to Head.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38Very well played. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42First, choose a category. You have five options to choose from.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Yes... - One there is definitely yours.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- And one is definitely mine. - So how are we playing this?
0:35:56 > 0:36:02- Whose is whose? - Mine's Football, I'm afraid. - And mine would be Indie Music.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09I certainly couldn't help Caroline much on Indie Music. She might be able to help me with Football.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16- You go.- No, I think, seriously, oldest wins.- Oldest wins(!) Oh, dear. Football, please.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many members
0:36:22 > 0:36:26of Arsenal's "Invincibles" as they could. Richard?
0:36:26 > 0:36:33During the 2003/2004 season, Arsenal FC didn't lose a single game in the Premier League.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39We're looking for anybody who played or was a named substitute at any point in that season.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Very best of luck.- OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48All you need to win that £5,250 is for just one answer to be pointless.
0:36:48 > 0:36:55- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes. - OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Who have you got?- Lee Dixon. - Emmanuel Petit.- Yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Goalkeepers? - Seaman was the main goalkeeper.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08- I was thinking of the reserve. - Nelson. I can't think of his first name. Stuart Nelson?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- That might be a good shout.- OK. - Defenders and forwards?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Em...- Thierry Henry will be high. Emmanuel Petit might be a good shout.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- I was going to say Petit. - What about the defence?
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- Was Nigel Winterburn there then? - I'd have thought so.- Lee Dixon.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Tony Adams will be a high answer. - Forwards...
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- That wasn't Ashley Cole, was it? - Might be worth it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- It's a bit high, though.- Might be worth a shout.- OK, which three?
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- Stuart Nelson.- Yeah. Ashley Cole.- And Emmanuel Petit.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Unless you can think of any others in the next eight seconds.- No pressure!
0:37:50 > 0:37:56- We've got to go with that. - Go with those?- Yeah. - OK, that's your time up.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01We were looking for members of Arsenal's "Invincibles".
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- OK, we will go with Stuart Nelson. - Stuart Nelson.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Emmanuel Petit.- Emmanuel Petit. - And Ashley Cole.
0:38:08 > 0:38:15- Ashley Cole. Which is your best shot?- Stuart Nelson. - We'll put him last. Least likely?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Ashley Cole.- Ashley Cole. - Let's put those up in that order.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21We have got...
0:38:24 > 0:38:30We were looking for members of Arsenal's "Invincibles". Ashley Cole was your least likely.
0:38:30 > 0:38:37Remember, only one of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £5,250.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43- What would you do with that, Phil? - I've got a big birthday coming up in a couple of years' time
0:38:43 > 0:38:49and I've always wanted to go and watch England play cricket abroad. They're in the West Indies that year.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- Very good indeed. Caroline? - I'm going with him!
0:38:54 > 0:38:59She is now. Good. OK, so your first answer was Ashley Cole. This has to be correct and pointless
0:38:59 > 0:39:05for you to win that jackpot. Let's find out. Ashley Cole. Is it right?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Well, Ashley Cole is right.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14How far down the column is he going to take us? Down he goes.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Into the 20s. If this goes to zero, you leave with £2,000...
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Oh!
0:39:24 > 0:39:30I just reduced your prize there. I just said you would leave here with £2,000.
0:39:30 > 0:39:36Luckily, it didn't get down to zero! £5,250, of course, is what is at stake.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Five for Ashley Cole. That's a great first answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And you weren't sure about that.
0:39:44 > 0:39:50Only two more chances to win today's jackpot. Members of Arsenal's "Invincibles".
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Your next answer was Emmanuel Petit. More certain.
0:39:53 > 0:39:59Let's hope it goes further down the column. Five for Ashley Cole.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Emmanuel Petit has to be right and pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07So for £5,250, how many people said Emmanuel Petit?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh!
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Oh.- Yeah.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20- That was unexpected.- Yeah. - Your first two answers did the opposite of what you thought
0:40:20 > 0:40:22they were going to do.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Only one more chance to win today's jackpot. Everything is riding on Stuart Nelson.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34Arsenal's "Invincibles". This, you thought, was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40It has to be pointless for you to win. Stuart Nelson. How many people said it? Is it right?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44No! No, bad luck!
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Oh, bad luck. A brilliant answer with Ashley Cole.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58The one you weren't sure of! And the other two incorrect,
0:40:58 > 0:41:04so you didn't manage to find that pointless answer and don't leave with the jackpot of £5,250.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09That will roll over to the next show. We've loved having you. An amazing performance.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14Just one show from you and you take home the Pointless trophy.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24Yeah, sorry. That was a valiant attempt. Stuart Nelson, the goalie?
0:41:24 > 0:41:28It's Stuart Taylor, the man you were thinking of.
0:41:28 > 0:41:35And Stuart Taylor was a pointless answer. I'll take you through some one-pointers. Sylvain Wiltord.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Edu. Gilberto Silva. Graham Stack, another goalie. Kolo Toure.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Pascal Cygan. Jose Antonio Reyes. All would have scored you one.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Here are the pointless answers. David Bentley had one start.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Tavlaridis, er, the Greek fella.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57He had one start on the bench in that season. Terrific answer.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Francis Jeffers, also one start on the bench. Didn't quite work out at Arsenal.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Gael Clichy, now at Man City. He was a pointless answer.
0:42:06 > 0:42:13Jeremie Aliadiere, whose surname has nine letters in it, but five syllables.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Quite impressive. Aliadiere.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Justin Hoyte, the defender who went on to Middlesbrough.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Kanu, who started three games. Scored a goal.
0:42:22 > 0:42:28And there's two reserve goalies, Rami Shaaban and Stuart Taylor.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- I knew exactly who you meant when you said it.- Even worse,
0:42:32 > 0:42:37our club is Blackburn and Bentley and Jeffers have both played for us.
0:42:37 > 0:42:43Oh, well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you. We've loved having you both.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Phil and Caroline!
0:42:48 > 0:42:56Sadly, Phil and Caroline didn't win our jackpot. It rolls over to the next show. We'll play for £6,250!
0:42:59 > 0:43:05- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
