0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40- Couple one.- Hi. I'm Abi and this is my husband, Ed. We're from Bristol.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45- Couple two.- Hi, I'm Abedul. This is my brother Moody. We're from Shrewsbury.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Couple three.- Hi. I'm Anne. This is my friend Bernie and we're from Newcastle.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Finally, couple four.- I'm Simon. This is my daughter Hannah and we're from Bristol.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56These, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Dripping in knowledge like Liz Taylor dripped in diamonds,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11he's actually had two fewer husbands.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Hi, everyone!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon.- And to you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- The jackpot is building up a bit again now.- Yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We had a period where people were winning it the whole time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31It's starting to get into a tasty little sum. We've got two returning pairs as well.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Anne and Bernie, last time, we didn't see much of, did we?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36So hopefully they'll stick around a bit longer.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40And Ed and Abi were very unlucky to get knocked out last time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- They were a pretty strong pair.- Mm.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44So it should be a cracking show, I think.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Very good. Looking forward to it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 didn't get.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03As you gather, Phil and Caroline didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So today's jackpot starts off at £6,250.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:26 > 0:02:28so make sure that's not you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:38TV. Decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK. The question concerns...
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Television duos, Richard.- On each pass, we'll give you seven TV duos
0:02:53 > 0:02:56all of whom were famous for appearing together in a TV series.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We'll give you the year in which that first TV series was broadcast.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Just tell us what that series is, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:0414 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Thanks. So we're looking for the TV shows in which these duos appeared.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Now, then. Our first board reads like this.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll read those one last time.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Now, Ed and Abi, you all drew lots before the show.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And today you are going first.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ed, how are we feeling today?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Not bad.- Tell us what happened last time.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08We got through to the second round
0:04:08 > 0:04:13and I think maybe I didn't choose the right answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- It wasn't incorrect, though, it was just a high score.- Yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I don't think we disgraced ourselves!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22No, not by any means. By any means.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Coming back as a returning pair, you feel you'll do better today?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'd like to think so.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29OK. Ed, what are we feeling about this board?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Pretty good.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I think Walter White and Jesse Pinkman
0:04:36 > 0:04:37are from Breaking Bad.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Breaking Bad, says Ed. Breaking Bad.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many of our 100 said Breaking Bad?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It is right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Oh, very well done, indeed, Ed. What a start to the show! Brilliant low score of three.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Fantastic. Is this something he's been watching while you weren't there?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I work away from home, so he's got a lot of time on his own.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Mr Box Set! Breaking Bad. - Terrific start, Ed.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Played by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12The one show everyone tells you you must watch.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- I still haven't.- You must watch it!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- No, no, no.- I haven't seen it yet, either.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Oh, you must!- Really? - Oh, you must watch it.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Oh, I think you would love it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- I haven't watched it.- You must watch it. It's brilliant.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's absolutely... You know there are those shows,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32those shows you can watch one after another and suddenly it's five in the morning!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- So you've seen it?- No, I haven't seen it.- Oh, you must!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- You haven't seen it?- No.- You're kidding me. It's unbelievable.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You'd adore... It's absolutely up your street.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- I must. I'll make a note to see it. - You must.- You must watch it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Now, then!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Moody. Moody, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- And you're from Shrewsbury. - That's right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- What do you do?- I work in finance for a technology company.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59What do you get up to when you're not doing that, Moody?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I'm quite an active guy. I like to play a lot of sports.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I do a lot of football, and a lot of cycling as well.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09In my spare time, I just go travelling
0:06:09 > 0:06:14and carry on my hobby of seeing as many countries as possible.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Good. What's the furthest afield you've been?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Furthest afield, I've been to Japan.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24A couple of years ago. And probably my favourite country is Nepal.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Excellent. Good stuff.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29What about these TV duos? How are we feeling about that?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Not too bad. I think I know probably three of them for sure.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I think it's one of those, "Which is going to get the lowest score?"
0:06:37 > 0:06:44So to keep it safe I'm going to go for Richie Cunningham and Arthur Fonzarelli as Happy Days.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Happy Days, says Moody. Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said Happy Days.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52It's right.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ooh, that's a high score, Moody!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Bad luck. We've gone from three to 70. That is a high score.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It is. Played by Ron Howard and Henry Winkler.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05He was originally going to be called Arthur Mashiarelli
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and his nickname was going to be Mash.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12But they thought it sounded a bit like MASH, the TV series, so they called him Fonzarelli.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Or mash, the potato option!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It sounds like that as well.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19That's where the phrase "jumping the shark" comes from, an episode of Happy Days
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- where he literally jumped over a shark.- And all the purists thought he'd gone too far.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Exactly.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Yeah. Now, then. Bernie. Bernie, welcome back.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Thank you.- Remind us what happened with you last time.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Well, we had a bit of a bad time in the first round.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It was words ending "ink".
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Yes.- Yeah.- I think I was using an Australian dictionary!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- "Relink", we had.- Yes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Surely you could "relink" a chain?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51That's what I thought. How do you fix a chain if you can't "relink" it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You'd just link it again!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- I was thinking that afterwards, yeah! Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Anyway, this is a new show.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I have high hopes for you, Bernie and Anne.- Good!- High hopes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Now, these TV duos, what do you make of them, Bernie?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Not a great deal, actually!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So I only know two others.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16So I'm going to have to bear the fact it'll be a high score.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21And go for Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone as Absolutely Fabulous.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Absolutely Fabulous, for Edina and Patsy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Is that right? How many of our 100 knew that?
0:08:28 > 0:08:3170 is our high score. Three is our low.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Absolutely Fabulous is going down. 35! Well done!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Pretty much in the middle there, Bernie.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Everyone knows the show, but perhaps the character names were less familiar.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44A nice score, 35.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Whenever Adrian Edmondson has a character, he often calls it Eddie Monsoon.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52And obviously, Jennifer Saunders is married to him and it's a play on Edmondson.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- So Eddie Monsoon, Edina Monsoon. - Clever.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Thanks very much. Now, then.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Hannah.- Yes.- Hannah, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Remind me where you're from.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- We're from Bristol.- What do you do, Hannah?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm on a gap year, going to university soon.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Do you know where you're going? - Yeah, I'm going to Cardiff University.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- And what are you going to study? - Medicine.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20- Good stuff. What are you doing with your year till then?- Working, trying to save my money for university.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- Good for you.- Yes.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Now, you're the last person to have this board.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27If you want to talk us through it and fill in the gaps, please feel free.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I can do that quite quickly.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I only know the bottom two
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and I think the last one is going to be very high,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38so I'm going for John "JD" Dorian and Chris Turk
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- are in Scrubs.- Scrubs, says, Hannah. Scrubs.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Is that right and how many of our 100 people knew that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48It's right.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Very well chosen, Hannah. Look at that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:5615. Second lowest score of the pass. Well done.
0:09:57 > 0:09:5815 for Scrubs.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Terrific answer for a terrific series. Well done.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Obviously all medical students like to watch Scrubs!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I imagine it's just like that!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Definitely. I hope so. - I would have thought so.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You were right to avoid the bottom one.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It is, of course, Star Trek.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19It would have scored you 93 points!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Wow.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester. Some people at home will know this.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's Supernatural. Scored nine.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And Jack McFarland and Karen Walker
0:10:30 > 0:10:33are the other two in Will and Grace.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35That would have scored you seven.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So Breaking Bad, Ed, was the best answer on the board.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40We're halfway through the round.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Let's look at the scores. Ed, well done. Three, lovely low score.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Ed and Abi, you're looking pretty strong on the back of that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Then up to 15, ditto, Hannah and Simon.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Then up to 35 where we find Bernie and Anne.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Much better. We should see you into Round Two with that, I hope.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Moody and Abedul, a little bit out there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So Abedul, we need a great answer from you.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04A good low score, enough to keep you in the game.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK. Can the second players please now take their places at the podium.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK. Let's put seven more TV duos on the board. Here they come.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55We are looking for the TV shows in which these duos first appeared.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. Simon?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Simon, what do you do?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- I'm a digital manager.- So am I - I've got ten of them!
0:12:06 > 0:12:08They're a nightmare to govern!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11But what kind of digital management?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16I have a team that looks after a big portfolio of websites for an insurance company.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Right you are. OK. What do you do when you're not doing that, Simon?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I spend my time taking photos, mostly. A keen photographer. Landscapes especially.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Very good indeed. OK. Now, then.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28TV duos.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'm going to go for Dana Scully and Fox Mulder,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The X-Files.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35OK. Going for The X-Files.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, Abedul and Moody are the high scorers on 70.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43You're on 15. So 54 or less is what you want to be scoring.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47There is your red line. Let's see how far down the column The X-Files takes you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's right.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Ooh, it's another high score. Look at that. 70.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Takes your total up to 85.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00But luckily I think Hannah's brilliant answer in the first pass
0:13:00 > 0:13:02might be enough to see you through. Richard?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05That really is a high answer. It's a big, big score.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny
0:13:07 > 0:13:08played those two.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Thanks very much. Now, then, Anne.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Anne, how are we feeling about this board generally?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Not brilliant.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- No.- Remind us what you do, Anne?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I work in a building society, but I also look after dogs
0:13:22 > 0:13:25when people are on holiday, so a dog-minder.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Do you have a favourite breed of dog?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Yes, I like labradors.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- That's the dog you have as well? - Yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- I'm glad. Because your dog is likely to be watching while this show is on.- Of course!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39That was the right answer!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Now, what are you going for on this board?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46The only other answer I definitely know is going to be high scoring.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So I'm going to have to try a bit of a punt.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I hope it's not going to backfire.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56I'm going to go for David Addison and Maddie Hayes and say Moonlighting.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Moonlighting, says Anne. Moonlighting.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0149 or less is what you want to score.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There's your red line. Is Moonlighting right and if so, how many people said it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09It is right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And it sees you through to Round Two. Very well done.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Well done, Anne.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Well played, Anne. Very gutsy going for a risky answer there.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Played by Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd, famously.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I used to love Moonlighting. - Mm. Brilliant show.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Now, then, Abedul. You've been thrown a bit of a lifeline here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Simon and Hannah are on 85.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You're on 70. If you can score 14 or less,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41you're through to the next round.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Now, how good are you on these TV shows?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I was actually better on the last board.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I've got a couple in my head,
0:14:50 > 0:14:51but I think they're high scorers.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56But I'm going to say Norm Peterson and Cliff Clavin, Cheers.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Cheers. Here comes your red line.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It's going to be low. Yes, it is.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Let's see if Cheers is going to get you through that red line, Abedul.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08It's right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Still going down.
0:15:13 > 0:15:1423!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Not far off it, actually.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Takes your total up to 93. But good answer, Abedul.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yeah, that's unlucky. That's a pretty good score.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Played by George Wendt and John Ratzenberger.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Now, then, Abi.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Hi.- Hello. You're the last person to have this board.- Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- And there you are on three. Ed did so well.- I know.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- He's left you...- Isn't he lovely?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42He really has left you in a fantastic position.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45If you can score 89 or less.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47There are two that I think I know.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- One that I definitely know.- You can talk us through the whole board.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I think Chandler and Joey are from Friends.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58I don't know who Olivia and Peter are
0:15:58 > 0:16:00or Tim and Mike.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think the bottom two, Brennan and Booth,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04are from a programme called Bones.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06But I think that's a bit riskier
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and I don't know whether to be risky or safe.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I've already been divorced once and I don't want to do it again.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I'll go for Bones for the bottom answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I think Friends is going to be a really high scorer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27You're going to say Bones for Brennan and Booth.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth, Bones.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Here comes your red line. Nice and high.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Let's see if Bones gets you below it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Does it? Is it right?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40It is right. Very well done. Brilliant answer, Abi.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Down it goes. Still going down. Nine.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Takes your total up to 12.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The lowest score by a million miles.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Very well done indeed, Abi and Ed.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Phew. Good answer. Bravery paying off for Anne and Abi in that round.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Well done.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Funnily enough, you would have been fine if you'd said Chandler and Joey
0:17:00 > 0:17:03cos it only scored 66. It was Friends.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Again, perhaps people don't know the surnames.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop
0:17:08 > 0:17:10are from Fringe.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Six people have watched that on box set!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Tim Bisley and Mike Watt is a pointless answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's a big cult UK sitcom.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Spaced?- Started in 1999. Spaced.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Well done if you said that at home. Pointless answer.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So at the end of our first round, the pair going home with a score of 93,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm afraid Abedul and Moody.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm so sorry. You've just got here and now we're sending you back again.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Sorry. But two perfectly good answers.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44It was Happy Days. It's from an era when everybody watched television
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and clearly everyone remembers Happy Days.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49But we'll see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Thanks for playing. Abedul and Moody. Great competitors.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04And so only three pairs remain.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Anne and Bernie, here you are in Round Two. Well done.- Thank you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12And Ed and Abi, lovely low scoring there. Fantastic.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You were the lowest scorers by a long chalk.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'd say you are the pair to beat.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Can you decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41..as they could.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Mr Men characters with a Y in their name, Richard.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The name of any Mr Men character with a Y in their name.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Not looking for any limited editions or charity versions of it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Any of the Roger Hargreaves series of Mr Men.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55They were carried on by Adam Hargreaves, his son, but they still have his name on the front.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Any Mr Men character up to the start of 2013, please
0:18:59 > 0:19:02with a Y in his name. Very good luck.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Now, then, Ed.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I'm thinking there might have been a Mr Grumpy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Mr Grumpy, says Ed.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Is that right? If it is, how many of our 100 said it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20There was a Mr Grumpy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:2940 for Mr Grumpy.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Well done, Ed. He had a blue rectangle who hated books, Mr Grumpy.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, he was grumpy!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Hmm.- He really lived up to his name.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Mr Grumpy?- Yes, it's weird. - He was very grumpy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Sometimes if you're born with a certain name, that's what you become.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44They call that nominative determinism, don't they?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think that's what happened with Mr Grumpy.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Right. Mind you, at the end of the book,
0:19:49 > 0:19:54the little bit of his life that Roger Hargreaves framed in that story
0:19:54 > 0:19:55gets less grumpy.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I suppose so. Steve Grumpy is his full name.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02There we are. Now, then, Bernie.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Bernie, a Mr Man character with a Y in it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Well, I thought of one to start off with,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12but now that Grumpy has been said,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14hmm.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'm going to go for it anyway.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Not that I really know Mr Men characters,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22but I'm hoping there might be a Mr Angry.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Mr Angry. Let's find out if there was a Mr Angry
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and if there was, how many of our 100 people remembered him.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- Oh, bad luck, Bernie!- Oh, no!- I'm afraid an incorrect answer.- Sorry!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37- Sorry, Bernie.- Sorry, Bernie.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41You'd think if he'd written a Mr Grumpy he could have written a Mr Angry as well.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43There is actually a TV series,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45where a Mr Angry who turns up at some point,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48but that's not a Roger Hargreaves character or a book.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So it's unlucky.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52OK. Hannah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Hannah, a Mr Man character with a Y in his name.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Um, I'm not really sure,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01so I'll have to have a bit of a guess.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04It makes sense to me, so...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'm going to go for Mr Lucky.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Mr Lucky. Well, let's hope.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Is Mr Lucky right? How many people said it?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Oh, no! Bad luck!
0:21:16 > 0:21:21No Mr Lucky. I'm afraid that scores you the maximum 100 points. Sorry, Hannah.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Sorry, Hannah. No Mr Lucky. There is a Little Miss Lucky,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25or Bernie as we call her at this moment,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28because you just scored 100 points.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I don't blame you, Hannah. It's a kids' thing. I blame the parents.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Both of them, in this case. 40 is where we find Ed and Abi,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46and then 100 is where Bernie and Anne and Hannah and Simon are tied.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50It's a tussle between them to see who stays and who leaves at the end of the round, I'd imagine.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Can the second players please step up now to the podium.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01OK. Simon, we are looking for Mr Men characters with a Y in their name.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05I remember reading these to Hannah and her two brothers.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07But can I remember any of the names?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I think Mr Messy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Mr Messy says Simon.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Mr Messy.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19No red line - you're joint high scorers.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Hooray, there was a Mr Messy.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Oh, it's a good one. 16.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32116 is now your total, Simon.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Well played, Simon. You redeemed yourself as a parent, there!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Mr Messy was a pink scribble.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42He later went on to play football for Argentina and Barcelona.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44He did very well.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Now, then, Anne.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Anne, the high scorers are now Simon and Hannah on 116.
0:22:51 > 0:22:5315 or less will keep you in the game.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01I'm getting mixed up now with the seven dwarfs and the Little Miss characters
0:23:01 > 0:23:02as well as the Mr Men!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I think I'll try Mr Nosey.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Mr Nosey, says Anne.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Mr Nosey. Here is your red line.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Get below that and you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16How many people said Mr Nosey?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Well, it's right.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Oh, you've done it! 13 for Mr Nosey!
0:23:29 > 0:23:3213. 113 your total.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Very well played, Anne.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Mr Nosey. Had a big, long, green nose.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Yeah, he got a hammer dropped on it. Had a nose bleed.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- He was always looking through letter boxes.- Still, a hammer?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I know. But he was nosey.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- A nosey fellow.- Still, a hammer?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Crunch! Aghh!
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Aghh!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Don't be nosey. That's what the book's about.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- Be less nosey.- Yeah, all right. I'll abide by that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Now, then. Abi. Abi.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07The high scorers at the moment are Simon and Hannah, on 116.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You need 75 or less.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15OK. I think I remember a Mr Man character called Mr Topsy-Turvy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19There's your red line. Below that, head-to-head.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Mr Topsy-Turvy. Is it right?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It is right. Very well, done, Abi.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27And it gets you through to the head-to-head.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Seven. The best score of the pass.
0:24:34 > 0:24:3647 your total, Abi.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Well done, Abi. That's got two Y's in it, Mr Topsy-Turvy.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Very impressive.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Good answer. He wears his hat upside-down on his head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45He was nuts, Topsy-Turvy, wasn't he?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48He was, yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51A lot of them were a little bit unhinged, shall we say?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Yes. As children's books, they're nice,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56but if you met them in the park, you would...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Maybe steer a different course, I think.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Yeah.- There are no pointless answers at all.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04A couple of very low scorers, but no pointless answers.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06People know their Mr Men books.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07The lowest scorers, though...
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Mr Birthday, which came out on the 25th anniversary of the first Mr Men book.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Mr Daydream, with two, and Mr Nobody, who was transparent.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Some other scorers, Mr Skinny, five,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Mr Noisy and Mr Busy, both would have scored you six.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Mr Jelly and Mr Fussy, both would have scored seven.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Mr Dizzy, eight, Mr Clumsy, eight,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and Mr Uppity, eight.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Well done, anyone, especially kids getting these at home.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35All good answers. Mr Lazy, 12.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Mr Greedy, 14,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Mr Funny, 17.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41And the top three answers. Let's take a look at them.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Mr Silly, also 17.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45He was silly!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Mr Grumpy, 40. We've covered the fact that he was grumpy!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51And Mr Happy on 70.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Thank you very much. At the end of our second round,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57our high-scoring pair with a high score of 116,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59it's Simon and Hannah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We have to send you home now.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02But we'll see you again next time.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Look forward to it. Simon and Hannah. Great contestants.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Congratulations, Ed and Abi, Anne and Bernie.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You are one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our jackpot
0:26:23 > 0:26:26which currently stands at £6,250.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32So we have to decide which pair is going to be playing for that money.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35To do that, you'll now play head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36This time, you are allowed to confer
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and the first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, Anne and Bernie, you went out in the first round last time.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Ed and Abi, second round last time.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So this is brand-new virgin territory for both pairs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I think this is going to be very close. Very exciting.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02OK. Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Young politicians, Richard.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11We'll show you five pictures of British politicians when they were younger.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Can you identify the most obscure of these? Good luck.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Let's reveal our five politicians as youngsters. Here they are. We have...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36There we are. Five politicians when they were younger.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Ed and Abi, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40so you get to go first.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We're going to go for D,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03and we think that's Ann Widdecombe.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05D, Ann Widdecombe.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09D, Ann Widdecombe. Now, Anne and Bernie,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I think A is Winston Churchill.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20C is the guy who is the ex-leader. What's his name?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Is it Hague?
0:28:22 > 0:28:23- William Hague.- William Hague.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27And E is - what's his name?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Is it Preston?- Prescott.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Prescott. John Prescott.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Do you think we should go for A or C?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Probably C.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41OK. We'll go for C, William Hague.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43You say William Hague for C.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47So we have Ed and Abi saying Anne Widdecombe for D.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Is that right and if so, how many of our 100 people said Ann Widdecombe?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54It is right.
0:29:01 > 0:29:0320 for Ann Widdecombe.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Anne and Bernie have said William Hague for C.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said William Hague?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Is it going to beat 20?
0:29:15 > 0:29:1738. 38 for William Hague.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Very well done, Ed and Abi. After one question, you are up one-nil.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25There's only one answer there that would have beaten Ann Widdecombe
0:29:25 > 0:29:27and that is B.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30She was the interim leader of the Labour Party before Ed Miliband.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Harriet Harman. Would have scored 19 points.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- She hasn't really changed, has she? - No, she hasn't.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Everyone scored quite well on this.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41A is Winston Churchill.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Would have scored 41.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48And E, who knew that John Prescott looked like Terry Scott?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- Even dressed like him!- Amazing.
0:29:54 > 0:29:5734. Look at that tie and shirt combination!
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Very smart.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02That's the sort of thing you could wear in Shoreditch or Hoxton now.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04People would think you were fashionable.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06That look would pass in certain London nightclubs.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Certainly would.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- That's a great look.- A great look.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Thanks very much. OK. Here comes your second question.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Anne and Bernie, you answer first. You have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18It concerns...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23London 2012. Richard?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27We're going to show you five clues to facts about London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Can you pick the most obscure of the answers.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33OK. Let's reveal our five facts. Here they come.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I'll read those one final time.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11There we are. Five clues to facts about London 2012.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Anne and Bernie go first.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19QUIET CONFERRING
0:31:36 > 0:31:40We'll go for the most recent time London hosted the Olympics
0:31:40 > 0:31:41and say 1948.
0:31:41 > 0:31:441948, say Anne and Bernie. 1948.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Ed and Abi, the rest of the board is yours.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Talk us through it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52We're thinking the Lord of the Rings one would be...
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Sir Ian McKellen.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Yeah.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Or Gandalf, as he's known in our house!
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Yeah. The canoe one you thought Milton Keynes.- I thought it might be Milton Keynes.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03The broadcaster would be the BBC
0:32:03 > 0:32:05and the theme tune was Chariots of Fire.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I'm not sure the BBC broadcast the Paralympics.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- I think it was Channel 4. - God, it was, wasn't it?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I don't know. What do you reckon?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15How confident are you about Milton Keynes?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- I was.- Are you confident enough?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I want you to decide.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Say Chariots of Fire?- OK.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24OK. We'll go for the theme tune as Chariots of Fire.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Chariots of Fire you say as the theme that Rowan Atkinson played
0:32:28 > 0:32:30at the opening ceremony.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Let's put those both to the test. Anne and Bernie,
0:32:32 > 0:32:36you said 1948 as the last time the Olympics were held in London.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said 1948?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's right.
0:32:50 > 0:32:5132 for 1948.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Ed and Abi have gone for Chariots of Fire.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Is that right and if it is, how many people said Chariots of Fire?
0:33:00 > 0:33:01It is right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Is it going to beat 32, though?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Ooh, yes, it is. Look at that!
0:33:07 > 0:33:08- Wow!- Well done!
0:33:08 > 0:33:1015 for Chariots of Fire. Well done.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Ed and Abi, after only two questions,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15you are through to the final two-nil.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Well played. Sailing through to the final.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20You would have got the point as well if you'd said Sir Ian McKellen.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25He was the actor at the opening ceremony. Scored 13 points.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29You wouldn't have got the point if you'd said the official UK broadcaster was Channel 4.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32It was, but it would have scored you 36 points.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35And you wouldn't have got the point if you'd said Milton Keynes
0:33:35 > 0:33:37for Olympic canoe slalom.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It was the Lee Valley White Water Centre.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Six points. That's the best answer there. Well done if you said that.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Thanks, Richard.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head I'm afraid is Anne and Bernie.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51You played so well throughout the whole show
0:33:51 > 0:33:53but we have to say goodbye.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Thanks very much for playing. Anne and Bernie.- Thank you.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02But for Ed and Abi, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Congratulations, Ed and Abi. You've beaten the competition
0:34:11 > 0:34:13and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £6,250.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Wow! Did you think you'd end up here?- No, absolutely not.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37I thought we'd go out in the first round.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40We had good answers from you. Nice low scores from you in the first round.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Yeah, it was OK. - It was all pretty good.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47So, Ed, we discovered last time you play guitar in a band called Bosc Monitor.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Yes.- Are they gigging at the moment? Got anything coming up?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52We don't, actually.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I've missed a real opportunity here!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- You really have.- But they're awesome. Check them out.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00By the time this goes to air, maybe you will soon.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Got time to record and...
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Are you a fan of Bosc Monitor? - Bosc Monitor?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I love Bosc Monitor, yeah.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- Any favourite tracks?- Idiot Song, that's one of yours, isn't it?
0:35:11 > 0:35:15New Year, another one of yours. I'm a fan of that. I like that.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Are they commercially available, any Bosc Monitor material?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Uh, no.- That's weird.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23But you can go on MySpace.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Don't think we haven't been! That's where we heard them!
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Those two particular songs.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30What do you think I do on this computer all show?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Of all the bands named after lizards,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36apart from Jesus lizard,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- they are my favourites.- Me, too.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I love the Komodo Dragons, as well. I'm a big fan of.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- That's a great band. - That's not a band!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Listen, anything you want to see come up in this final round?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Yeah, fluffy cats.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53We've had that for months, hanging around on that options board.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Music might be good.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Bognor Regis, the town I know and love. That's where I grew up.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- OK.- Something to do with Bristol would be good.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Yes, that would be good.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09First, you have to select a category. Here are your five options.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12They are... Fluffy cats...
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Sorry.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24It's got to be Music.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Music Awards is a bit of a killer.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29I don't know. What about playwrights?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31We both might have a go at that.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33It's your call.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- I don't want any blame for this.- OK.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38So whatever you want, you do.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40If you want music, go music. You want plays, go plays.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Let's go playwrights.- OK.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Playwrights. OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:49 > 0:36:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many George Bernard Shaw plays as they could.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- I don't know any.- Richard.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Any play written by George Bernard Shaw.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04A couple of times there have been collections of his plays under an umbrella title.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We just want the individual names of the plays, please.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11Any play written by George Bernard Shaw. Very best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17All you need to win that £6,250
0:37:17 > 0:37:19is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- OK. The only one I know is Pygmalion.- Yep.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- So...- That's the only one I know.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32He's Irish, right?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- I think so.- So...
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I think I've bought a collection of his plays.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Something like... - The Winslow Boy? Is that...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Does that ring a bell?- If you think it is, go for it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Does it make you think of something else?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I was thinking of something apartment, but I think that's somebody else.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- And something else Irish sounding. - Irish sounding?! Is that the way to go?- Definitely.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Carol's going to love that!
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Um...- Um, something like...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01The something.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- The something?- Cos he's quite like minimalist.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08The...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- The Window?- The Window?!
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- The Door?- Those certainly are...words.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Ten seconds left.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20OK. So we'll go Pygmalion.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Just on the off-chance that...
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I'll say Winslow Boy.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- And The Door!- Yeah. Why not?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29OK. That's your time up.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33We were looking for George Bernard Shaw plays. I now need your three answers.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35We're going to go for Pygmalion.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Pygmalion.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- The Winslow Boy.- Yeah.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- The Winslow Boy.- And The Door.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44And the... Brilliant. The Door. Yeah.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47That closed after three shows!
0:38:47 > 0:38:48LAUGHTER
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Oh, God. OK, I get it. Right!
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57Of those three, which would you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Pygmalion is probably the only George Bernard Shaw play that we've mentioned.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- So that one.- Do you want to put that last?- Yeah.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09- Which shall we put first?- The Door, because we've just made it up.- OK. The Door. Fair enough.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17We were looking for George Bernard Shaw plays.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Your least confident answer was The Door.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Shall we just find out if that's right?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28No. Bad luck!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31An incorrect answer, you won't be surprised to hear.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33So, we've got that out the way.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Only two more chances to win today's jackpot. £6,250.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Let's say one of these two remaining answer was pointless,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42what would you do with that?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Get a throne for our cat, Geoffrey.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- That's what I'd want to do.- You have a cat, Geoffrey?- Yeah.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51He's a Persian. He's big.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54He's really unfriendly to everyone except me and my mum, pretty much.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55He hates Ed.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59But I'd get him a throne. I've seen it on the internet.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02You're not joking, are you?
0:40:02 > 0:40:03You are going to get a throne.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07My colleagues at work know, cos I've shown them all.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09As long as you're not wasting the money, that's good.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12You'll consider your cat, Geoffrey.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Ed, what about you?
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I'd like to think that we'd keep the throne down to at least three figures.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22So the rest I think we might be going on holiday, probably to east Asia.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Well done. That sounds like a good idea.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I'm not booking tickets just yet.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28OK. We are looking for George Bernard Shaw plays.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Let's hope nobody said your next answer, The Winslow Boy.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34It has to be correct and it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38For £6,250, let's see how many people said The Winslow Boy.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42No, bad luck.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45So you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Two incorrect answers so far.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51George Bernard Shaw plays. Your third and final answer was Pygmalion.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer
0:40:54 > 0:40:55because you knew it was correct.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Obviously it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Let's find out how many people said Pygmalion, for £6,250.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Well, it's right.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Good to see. Your first answer The Door was incorrect.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12The Winslow Boy an incorrect answer.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Pygmalion, 40. Bad luck.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25So you don't win today's jackpot of £6,250
0:41:25 > 0:41:27which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29It's been great having you on the show. Thank you both for playing.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32And you do get to walk away with a Pointless trophy each.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34So very well done.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44I have to admire your spirit, Ed, in going for playwrights.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48That's gutsy. That's the act of a man who doesn't want to buy a throne for his cat!
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers here.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well done if you got any of these.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Captain Brassbound's Conversion,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59which is about a loft extension!
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Heartbreak House is a single act comedy play.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07How He Lied To Her Husband, one that some people might have got at home.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12The Millionairess which was made into a movie with Sophia Loren.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Three more. The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21If you're going to make up a thing, don't make up The Door!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Make up The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet!
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Imagine if you had!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32The Winslow Boy is a Terence Rattigan play,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34not George Bernard Shaw, I'm afraid.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Really tough category. Fair play to you for going for it.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You've played brilliantly throughout.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Sorry you haven't walked away with the money.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Thanks very much indeed. We have to say goodbye, Ed and Abi,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47but we've loved having you on the show. Thanks for playing. Brilliant. Ed and Abi.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Sadly, Ed and Abi didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:52 > 0:42:54so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:54 > 0:42:56when we'll be playing for £7,250.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
