0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE & CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz where we strive to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40- Couple number one. - I'm Adam, this is my wife Claire and we're from Chester.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Paul,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45this is my friend and Alex, a rival pub quizzer,
0:00:45 > 0:00:46and we're from Peterborough.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Your friend AND Alex?!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- My friend Alex and rival pub quizzer!- Perfectly fine!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Couple number three! - I'm Jenny and this is my dad Ian and we're from Dartford.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Hector, this is Colin and we're friends and colleagues in Dundee.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04These are today's contestants.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Thank you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12That leaves one person for me to introduce,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16impeccably schooled at Cambridge... Young Offenders Institute,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi, everybody! APPLAUSE
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Cambridge Young Offenders Institute is so much better than Oxford Young Offenders Institute.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Isn't it?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34That boat race, though... That's a highlight of the year!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- How are you?- I'm very well, thanks.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Show 499...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We will make it, won't we? We will.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Show 500 next time. It's going to be pretty special!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Oh, I haven't asked you - what are you going to wear? - For the...- For the show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- OK, I've thought about this a lot. - Yes.- Here's what I'm thinking.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I thought I'd maybe wear a suit...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Yes.- ..and a shirt.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59No! I'm wearing that, too!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02That's why we work together.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And I'm going to wear... shoes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Radical.- I know.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09No, it's going to be a good show, the 500th. We've got a special.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We're inviting some former contestants back.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- I won't tell you any more than that, but it's all going to happen on the next show.- Wow.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- But anyway, show 499, here we are. - Meanwhile...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24One returning pair, Hector and Colin. They were terrific last time.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28They had trouble in the head-to-head, but up to then they were very good.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And there's a very nice jackpot, if you can manage it, as well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Everybody's trying to find an answer that none of our 100 gave.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Steve and Sarah didn't win last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Today's jackpot starts off at £8,250.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56CHEERING & APPLAUSE
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated so try and make sure that's not you.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Our first category today is...
0:03:19 > 0:03:25Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:36 > 0:03:3870s Albums.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Richard...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We're going to give you the names of seven classic albums from the 1970s,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45all top 40 hits in the '70s.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You just need to tell us which band or act had a hit with it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51There's 14 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55So we are looking for the artists who had hits with these albums in the '70s.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Here they are, our first board of seven...
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I'll read those one last time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26There we are, seven '70s albums, seven artists or groups to name.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Adam and Claire, you all drew lots and today you are going to go first.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Adam, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40The company I work for makes printing cylinders, if you're any the wiser.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Printing cylinders.- Packaging mostly - wallpaper, things like that.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And when you're not doing that, what do you like getting up to?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50My main sporting activity is cycling.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I like following horse racing.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Excellent. Do you bet on horses?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Er, never, no! 10p each way sometimes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Do you bet successfully on horses?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Er, yes. Yes.- Yes, yes! - Definitely. Always.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Biggest win?
0:05:05 > 0:05:10I won almost 20 grand on the Scottish National once.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Wow!- Wow.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That's...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- That is good. - You didn't expect that, did you?- No.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Wow. Claire, did you get to see any of that?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Yes. He's quite generous with his winnings!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Very good. Good stuff.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Any tips for today? Shall we quickly get them from Adam?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Don't back a horse with Richard as a jockey would be my tip.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- No, he's very good as a jockey! Very good!- Terrific jockey.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I won the 2005 Welsh National.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Who was riding you?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46LAUGHTER
0:05:46 > 0:05:48APPLAUSE
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Erm, Adam, what are you going to go for?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I think I'm going to go for
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Songs of Love and Hate, which I think is by Leonard Cohen.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Leonard Cohen, says Adam, for Songs of Love and Hate.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's right.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Silent. - AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Oh, very well done indeed, Adam! 4! - APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:244 for Songs of Love and Hate by Leonard Cohen.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Terrific start, Adam. Very well played.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29He recently came out of retirement, or semi retirement,
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- because his accountant swindled him out of 8.4 million.- Wow.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- OK. Now, Alex...- Hello, Alexander.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Welcome to the show. You are from Peterborough.- Yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- What do you do? - I'm a support worker.- Very good.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Most of the time I spend messing about with my son.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54What are you going to go for? We are looking for the artists
0:06:54 > 0:06:57who had hits with these albums in the '70s.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I think I'm going to go for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Elton John.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Elton John, says Alex, for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Ooh, 55. - APPLAUSE
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Ooh, that's high!
0:07:18 > 0:07:2055 for Elton John.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Spent 84 weeks in the charts.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Contained the single Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, also Candle in the Wind
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Jenny.- Hi!- Welcome to Pointless.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Where are you from, Jenny? - From Dartford.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- And what do you do?- I study politics at the University of Birmingham.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- What year are you in? - My second year.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- How's it going? - It's going all right.- Very good.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- What do you like getting up to? - I'm on the student radio station.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- And do you present?- Yes, I do.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- How often are you on?- Twice a week.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Fun?- I love it, yes. It's brilliant. - Good stuff.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00What about these '70s albums? Have you come up with a good answer?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06They've just stolen the only one I knew for sure, so now I feel really bad!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09This is a guess, I hope it's an educated guess.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Let It Be, obviously, is a Beatles song
0:08:12 > 0:08:14but The Beatles weren't in existence in the '70s,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17so I'm going to go Paul McCartney and The Wings for Let It Be,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19because they'd broken up by '69.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Paul McCartney and Wings, says Jenny.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Unless it came out in 1970! Ahh! - LAUGHTER
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Paul McCartney and- The- Wings. Let's see if that's right -
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I'm pretty sure they'd broke up by that point! Here we go!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LAUGHTER
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Paul McCartney -- I'm sorry!
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Paul McCartney and- The- Wings... - LAUGHTER
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Paul McCartney and- The- Wings for Let It Be.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Oh, the suspense!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Bad luck. I'm sorry, Jenny,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54an incorrect answer, which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Not the correct answer. I'll give the answers at the end of the pass.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02OK. Now then, Colin, welcome back to Pointless.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Tell us what happened last time. - We got to the head-to-head and got thrashed.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Let's go back. You soared through to the head-to-head.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Two immaculate rounds.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And then got to the head-to-head, got beaten 2-0.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16This board is all yours.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Talk us through it.- I think I know the top six, actually.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Bat Out of Hell is obviously Meat Loaf.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Let It Be, I just assumed was The Beatles.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Off The Wall will be Pink Floyd. I knew the other two, as well.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I can't think about Moon Dance.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34The one I'm going to go for is LA Woman and say The Doors.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37The Doors, says Colin, for LA Woman. Let's see if The Doors is right,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41let's see how many of our 100 people knew it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Absolutely right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, very well done indeed! 9! That's a great answer. Great score.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well played. Their last album with Jim Morrison.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Let's clear up Let It Be.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It was the last studio album of The Beatles.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It was 1970. Really unlucky.
0:10:06 > 0:10:0970 points it would've scored you, rather aptly.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Bat Out of Hell, Colin's right, was Meat Loaf. 71.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Off The Wall was...?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- ALEX: Michael Jackson. - Michael Jackson.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Would've scored 16.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And Moon Dance is...?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Van Morrison.- Van Morrison. That would've scored you 6.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Adam, best answer up there. You got it straight off. Well played.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Thanks very much indeed. Let's take a look at our scores.
0:10:35 > 0:10:374 is the best score of that pass. Adam, well done.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Adam and Claire looing pretty tasty on the back of that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Then up to 9, where we find Colin and Hector.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Up to 55, where we find Alex and Paul.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Then 100, I'm afraid, Jenny and Ian.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Ian, nice low score from you is the least we will need.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Best of luck with that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02OK, let's put seven more '70s albums on the board.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We have got...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'll read those one last time.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Seven '70s albums, seven artists or groups we need you to name.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Hector, you're on 9.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44The high scorers, Ian and Jenny, quite a long way ahead on 100.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48If you can score 90 or less, we'll see you in Round Two.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So, Hector,
0:11:50 > 0:11:55we discovered last time you are a junior doctor.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59What do you do when you're not doing that? Football is a big hobby of yours.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- What else do you like getting up to? - I enjoy travelling
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and combining that with my interest in sport.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I've been to matches as far afield as Kathmandu.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Who were you supporting there? - Nepal versus Jordan.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Was this a game you'd been really looking forward to?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- LAUGHTER - Yes. It's a biggie!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We're looking for artists who released these albums in the 1970s.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25What are you going to go for?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Well, music's not my strong point.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Colin gave a great answer.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35There's only one I think I'm sure of, so I'll go for that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,
0:12:40 > 0:12:41David Bowie.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43David Bowie, says Hector.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Here comes your red line, nice and high.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48If you get below that, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said David Bowie.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's right and you are through.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- 73. - APPLAUSE
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Big high score, but low enough.
0:13:02 > 0:13:0482 your total.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08That's all you needed to do. Number 5 hit in 1972. Brilliant album, as well.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Now then, Ian... Ian, welcome to the show.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- What do you do, Ian?- I'm retired. - What did you do?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- I was a policeman.- In the Met? - Yes, in London.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23What do you do now? How do you fill your time?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I zig-zag my way around a golf course, getting a long walk out of that,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and go to the gym all too infrequently.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32All too infrequently. Nicely put.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37OK, what we need from you is a very, very low score.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- How do you feel about this board? - Sadly, I can't give you a low score.
0:13:42 > 0:13:48OK. Did you spend the '70s with your fingers in your ears, Ian?
0:13:48 > 0:13:53No, I didn't, but I just can't place any of those album titles.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I literally don't know any but one.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I think The Wall is Pink Floyd.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02OK. You're going to say Pink Floyd for The Wall.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06No red line for you. You have to hope this goes down as far as it can.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Let's see how many of our 100 said Pink Floyd.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's right.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- 47. - APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:2247. That could, mathematically, be enough to save you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26We'll discover whether or not it actually is. That takes your total up to 147.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I was hoping someone from the Met might choose There's A Riot Goin' On.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Another Brick in the Wall came from that album. Pink Floyd's only number one single.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Now then, Paul...- Hello! - Welcome to the show.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Also from Peterborough.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- And you brought someone with you. - I brought Milly 2.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Last weekend I became a grandfather for the first time.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50My daughter gave birth to Milly,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53a beautiful baby girl, weighing seven pounds four ounces.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55When we went to see her on the first day,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57she told us that her middle name is Dawn -
0:14:57 > 0:14:59my wife's name - which was very touching.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02As Milly's only one week old, Milly can't be with me,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04so I brought Milly 2.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- As a stand-in. - A stand-in and my good-luck charm.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Lovely. Many congratulations.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13A chance for you to cover yourself in glory here, Paul,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15with a nice low-scoring answer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The high scorers are Ian and Jenny on 147.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20If you can score 91 or less, you are through.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24As is always the case, on the first board I knew most of them.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27On this second board I only know three.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31They're not my type of music. Fortunately, one of the three I'm confident on.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I've just got to hope it's not too high a score.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39The Rolling Stones, says Paul, for Sticky Fingers.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Here comes your red line. If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Rolling Stones.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50It's right and you're through.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:15:55 > 0:15:5928. That takes your total up to 83.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- Very well played. Congratulations on the answer and the granddaughter. - Thank you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Five weeks at number one for Sticky Fingers.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now then, finally Claire...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Hello.- Welcome.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- What do you do, Claire?- I teach English as a foreign language.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- How long have you done that for? - About 26 years now!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Do you enjoy it?- I love it, yes. - There we go!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27You're through to the next round anyway.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake the high score.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Why not see if you can fill in some of the blanks for us?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38The answer would be, "Because I can't!"
0:16:38 > 0:16:44I'm pretty sure about one, but that board is much harder than the first one for me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48I feel as though I should know More Songs About Buildings and Food, but I don't.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'm just going to go for the one that I think is right,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53which is Blood on the Tracks, Bob Dylan.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Bob Dylan, says Claire, for Blood on the Tracks.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58No red line for you. Let's see if Bob Dylan's right
0:16:58 > 0:17:00and how many people said it, if it is.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It is right.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- 10. Very well done, Claire. - APPLAUSE
0:17:12 > 0:17:1610 takes your total up to an impeccably low 14.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19There's a good record collection going on in Adam and Claire's house.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Another terrific answer. Another terrific album.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24The other three are very low scorers.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We'll start at the bottom. That would've got you 3 points.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Jonathan Livingston Seagull is Neil Diamond.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's the soundtrack to the film of the same name. 3 points.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36More Songs About Buildings and Food?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Talking Heads.- Talking Heads, yes. That would've scored 2 points.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The best answer up there is There's A Riot Goin' On.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It was a reply album to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50There's A Riot Goin' On, said Sly and the Family Stone.
0:17:50 > 0:17:531 point. Very well played if you said that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00our losing pair with a high score of 147, I'm afraid it's Ian and Jenny.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Dear, oh, dear. Your reasoning was...
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Flawed!- It was flawed!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08They were still going in the '70s,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11but it was all pretty much coming to an end.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But you were on the right lines.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I'm afraid we have to say goodbye. We'll see you again next time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Meantime, thanks for playing.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25For the three remaining players, it's time for Round Two.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Only three pairs remain. Hector and Colin,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36last show, you were the low scorers in these early rounds.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39There some new low scorers on the block, though.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Adam and Claire take that prize. Some fantastic low scoring there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Colin, you did very well. Hector had to go safe with David Bowie.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Paul and Alex, nice middling scoring from you. You've all made it through.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Best of luck. Our category is...
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08OK, the question concerns...
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Non-Eponymous Works.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Xander's going to show you a list of authors.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Give us any novel they've written that doesn't have the name of a character in its title.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25So any novel that doesn't have any part of the first name or surname of a character in its title.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Very well-known authors up there so don't panic too much.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Thanks, Richard.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33We are going to put some authors on that board
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and they will stay on the board up and back down the line.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39You just have to name any novel by any one of those authors.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Here is our list of authors.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I'll read those one last time.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01There we are. Now then, Adam,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05what I require from you is a nice obscure novel
0:20:05 > 0:20:08by any of those authors.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I think I'll go for Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Mansfield Park, says Adam. Let's see if Mansfield Park's right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Very well done, Adam. - APPLAUSE
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Good answer. 6 points.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Well played again, Adam.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Published in 1814.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Alex.- Yes.- We're looking for any novel by any of these authors
0:20:42 > 0:20:46without the name of a character in the title.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47LAUGHTER
0:20:49 > 0:20:54I'm really struggling. I must admit, I'm really struggling. Er...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Charles Dickens...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59..Scrooge.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Scrooge, says Alex. OK. Scrooge.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Scrooge.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Bad luck, Alex.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14That's an incorrect answer. It scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Sorry, Alex. Not a Dickens novel.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- That would be the name of a character, as well.- Yes.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- OK. Now then, Colin...- Yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24We're looking for works by these 19th-century authors
0:21:24 > 0:21:27that don't have the names of any characters in the title.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32This is really embarrassing. I'm also struggling. Erm...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'm just going to have to go with A Christmas Carol.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38A Christmas Carol. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Let's see how many people said that.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44It's right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:21:50 > 0:21:52That's good enough, Colin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- A Christmas Carol. That's the novel where we find Ebenezer Scrooge. - That's what I was thinking.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Charles Dickens started writing it in October. He finished it in six weeks, just in time for Christmas.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Wow.- Yep.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Thanks, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:22:09 > 0:22:126 very much the best score of that pass.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Adam and Claire, once again looking very strong.
0:22:15 > 0:22:1831 is where we find Colin and Hector. Good middle ground.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21And then up to 100, where we find Alex and Paul.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Paul, get thinking of a really nice low-scoring answer.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26And Milly 2.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36We are looking for non-eponymous works by these 19th-century authors.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Hector, we need a low-scoring answer from you.
0:22:40 > 0:22:4468 or less will stop you from becoming the new high scorers.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I'm glad Colin got a good answer in there.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Literature's not my...
0:22:50 > 0:22:54..favourite thing. Erm...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I've got a book in my head.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I'm just hoping that it's by one of these authors.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Sense and Sensibility?
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Sense and Sensibility, says Hector. You're not sure if that's by one of these authors.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11There is your red line. If you can get below that, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Is that right? How many people said it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Of course.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20And you're through. Very well done. That's all you had to do.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- 14. - APPLAUSE
0:23:25 > 0:23:2845 is your total.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Jane Austen's first novel, Sense and Sensibility.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Safely through.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Now then, Paul,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39we are looking for non-eponymous works by these 19th-century authors.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Have you come up with a good answer?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I think we'll steer clear of Charles Dickens
0:23:43 > 0:23:49and we'll hope that people will remember Heathcliff
0:23:49 > 0:23:52but don't remember that the title is Wuthering Heights.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Wuthering Heights. There's no red line for you, you're the high scorers.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01Let's see how far down the column Wuthering Heights will take us.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's right.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- 42. - APPLAUSE
0:24:10 > 0:24:13That takes your total up to 142.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Emily Bronte's only novel, a big scorer.
0:24:16 > 0:24:191847 that was published.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Now then, Claire,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25once again, you are through to the next round already.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Paul and Alex are our high scorers and they are beyond your reach.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34We're looking for any novel by any one of these authors without a character in the title.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Do you want to talk us through any of your thinking, your ideas,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42or are you just going to go for...?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I know a few Charles Dickens ones,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50but I would really like to go for Vanity Fair
0:24:50 > 0:24:52by William Makepeace Thackeray.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Vanity Fair, says Claire. No red line for you.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Let's see how many people said Vanity Fair.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Absolutely right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Wow.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- 5! - APPLAUSE
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Great answer, Claire. That takes your total up to 11.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- Adam and Claire are good!- They are! - Hector and Colin have a battle on their hands.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Another very good answer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Before we do the pointless ones, I'll take you through a few answers that would've done well.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Great Expectations would've scored 29. Bleak House would've scored 25.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31A Tale of Two Cities - 15. The Old Curiosity Shop - 9.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Hard Times would've scored you 5.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36North and South, Persuasion and Cranford would've scored 3.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Our Mutual Friend would've scored 2.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Let's take a look at some pointless ones. They're fairly obscure.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46All Dickens. The Battle of Life, The Cricket on the Hearth
0:25:46 > 0:25:50and The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52The Moorland Cottage is Elizabeth Gaskell.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55The Professor, Charlotte Bronte.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Thackeray's The Virginians was a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03And another Charlotte Bronte one - probably the most well-known of those answers - Villette.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Well done if you said any of those.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Let's take a look at the top answers, the ones that most of our 100 said.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13A Christmas Carol was the third highest. 31 points.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Pride and Prejudice, of course. 37.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Right at the top, Wuthering Heights, the biggest scorer of all.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Thanks very much indeed. Paul and Alex,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26you are our high-scoring pair and we have to say goodbye to you.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's been great having you on. We'll see you again next time.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Thanks for playing. Paul and Alex. - APPLAUSE
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Congratulations, Adam and Claire, Hector and Colin.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You are one step closer to the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51which currently stands at £8,250.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You're going to go head-to-head.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You're now allowed to confer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Hector and Colin, you were in the head-to-head last time
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- and you were the low-scoring couple, the golden couple then.- I know.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- How are you feeling about your rivals?- Less confident now.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- They're good, aren't they?- Mm. - In fact, they're terrifying!- I know!
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Adam and Claire, first-timers! Clean sweep, through to the head-to-head.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- How are you feeling?- Quite excited! - Good stuff.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The great news is, you can confer. I think that makes a big difference.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- US Cities. Richard...- We're going to show you five pictures of US cities.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Name the city, please. Good luck.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Let's reveal our five pictures of US cities.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57We have got...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Five US cities.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Adam and Claire, you have played best throughout the show so you get to go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- (The first one must be Detroit.) - ADAM WHISPERS
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- (It says "Motown" in the window.) - (Oh, OK.)
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- (Do you want to go for that? If it says Motown...) - (Well, I thought it did.)
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- (Would C be San Francisco?) - (Yes. That's a good one.)
0:28:38 > 0:28:42We think "A" is Detroit.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45A, Detroit, say Adam and Claire. A, Detroit.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Hector and Colin, can you talk us through the board?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51We thought A was Detroit, as well. B's Chicago.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54D's Washington. E's Las Vegas.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Detroit's going to beat all them so we're going to go with C and go for Los Angeles.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01C, Los Angeles.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03C, Los Angeles.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Adam and Claire said Detroit. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It's right.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21It's a great answer. 6 for Detroit! Very well done.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Well done, Adam and Claire.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Hector and Colin have said Los Angeles for C.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It is right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's going to be close!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- 13. - APPLAUSE
0:29:43 > 0:29:4513.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47But Detroit wins it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Adam and Claire, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53As we'd expect from two strong pairs, the best two answers on the board. Very well done.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Hitsville USA was the first ever headquarters of Motown.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00There's the TCL Chinese cinema in Hollywood Boulevard.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Perhaps more commonly known by the name Mann's Chinese Theatre.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07B, I think both teams knew it was Chicago.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Would've scored 17 points.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12D is Washington, of course.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15That would've scored 71 points.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20And E is Las Vegas and would've scored you 43.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Thanks. Here comes your second question.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Hector and Colin, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It concerns...
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Celebrities Before They Were Famous. Richard...
0:30:32 > 0:30:36We'll tell you the jobs that five celebrities had before they were famous.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Tell us who the celebrity is, please. Good luck.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Let's reveal our five jobs.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Here they are. We've got...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I'll read those all one final time.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Hector and Colin, you go first this time.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25THEY WHISPER
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- OK? - (We know James Bond's right.)
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- LAUGHTER - Hector and Colin?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- You know that's right, do you? - 100 percent.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- All right. - LAUGHTER
0:31:46 > 0:31:49I know... We're between a few.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Are we happy to go with that one? - Yes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57I actually went to the same primary school as this actor.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Sean Connery was the James Bond actor who delivered milk for a living.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06OK. Sean Connery, say Hector and Colin.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Adam and Claire, the rest of the board is yours.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Talk us through it.- I wish!
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Deer Hunter - it could be Christopher Walken
0:32:15 > 0:32:18because he probably scared the lions quite adequately!
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- LAUGHTER - Er...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I don't know the Lucky Star singer.
0:32:22 > 0:32:28We think Sister Mary Clarence might be Whoopi Goldberg.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30The star of In Bruges
0:32:30 > 0:32:34is either Colin Farrell or Brendan Gleeson, presumably,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36but I don't know which.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40So we'll say the fourth one, Whoopi Goldberg.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You're going to say Whoopi Goldberg.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Whoopi Goldberg.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49OK, Hector and Colin, you said Sean Connery.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Sean Connery.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It's correct!
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- 29. - APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Adam and Claire have said Whoopi Goldberg.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Let's see if Whoopi Goldberg's right. Let's see if it's good enough to beat 29.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18It's right.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's getting close. It does!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- 25! - APPLAUSE
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Very, very well done, Adam and Claire.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34After two questions, you are straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Tough luck, Hector and Colin.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39That's two shows in a row, unfortunately for you.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Let's take a look at the others. They all would've won the points.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46The Lucky Star singer is Madonna.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48She would've scored you 8.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52You suggested the star of In Bruges as Colin Farrell or Brendan Gleeson.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- If you had to choose one of them...? - BOTH: Colin Farrell.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Colin Farrell is correct. That would've scored 5.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00If you had to go for a Deer Hunter actor...?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- Christopher Walken.- Also correct. - Is it?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Yes. Would've scored you 2 points. Best answer up there.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Thanks, Richard.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12At the end of our head-to-head, our losing pair is Hector and Colin.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15That's so unfair! I mean, it's not unfair but it's sort of...!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18It's perfectly fair, but it's awkward
0:34:18 > 0:34:24because I think you would've got that low-scoring answer, Detroit, had you gone first.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I'm afraid that's often how it goes in this.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31That's why you have to get low points wherever you possibly can in the earlier rounds.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35We have to say goodbye. This is it, Hector and Colin. You've been brilliant on both shows.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Thank you both so much for playing. Hector and Colin. Excellent contestants.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41CHEERING & APPLAUSE
0:34:43 > 0:34:46For Adam and Claire, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Congratulations, Adam and Claire, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:53 > 0:34:56and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You now have a chance to win our jackpot.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at a pretty massive £8,250.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You've been unstoppable the whole way through.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18You've been the lowest scorers by quite a margin in every round
0:35:18 > 0:35:21and then a 2-0 victory in the head-to-head.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26I'd say it was all pretty set fair for a colossal victory in the final!
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Now, Adam, talk to me about your gambling.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Can we discuss it afterwards in private?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Have you taken any gambles today?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Have any answers been gambles or have they been fairly...?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Whoopi Goldberg was.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44But we could've gambled on Christopher Walken, I suppose, so...
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Er, apart from that, not really.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- Did you?- Not really.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Right then, you've shown yourselves to be pretty proficient in most areas.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Is there anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Horse racing, obviously, would be good!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- I don't mind geography, actually. - Actually, yes.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- History would be good. - Geography would be good.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09But that might be a bit too general and scary!
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- They are sometimes quite specific, aren't they?- Yes.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15To win the money, all you have to do is find just one pointless answer.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18First you have to choose your category.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Here they are, your five choices... Good luck.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Well, not Astronauts. - I can't do The Paralympics.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Not Indie Bands, not Paralympics,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35so it's Quiz Shows or Scandinavian Theatre.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- The only person I know is Ibsen. How many Ibsen plays do you know? - I know a few.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Quiz Shows could be anything.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47We'll go out in a blaze of culture. We'll go for Scandinavian Theatre.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48- Scandinavian Theatre.- Yep!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51HE EXHALES DRAMATICALLY
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Well, good luck! - LAUGHTER
0:36:55 > 0:36:57If I was a betting man,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I wouldn't have put money on anyone going for that for a long time!
0:37:00 > 0:37:05OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:05 > 0:37:08..Plays By Henrik Ibsen as they could.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- You said you were all right on this. - Richard...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13We're looking for any plays by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Their names in English, please.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I'm so delighted you went for this category. You've been brilliant.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Very, very best of luck on our 499th show.- Thank you.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27You have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need, to win that £8,250,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29is for just one to be pointless.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40We've got the obvious ones - The Master Builder, John Henry Borkman.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- They're not so obvious!- OK. They're not going to be Pointless.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Hedda Gabler, The Doll's House. - Doll's House, yes. Erm...
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Did he ever do a play of Peer Gynt? - He did Peer Gynt.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I know his first play,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59because I remember hearing it on the radio, was something about his life and work.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Do you know the name of it? - Catiline.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I'm sure he did one called Norma, as well,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07at about the same period.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10You can have one of mine!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12There's one called...
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I think it's "The Burial" something.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I think... The Burial Mound, I think.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- OK, I'm going to let you lead on this one!- OK.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Have you got any idea which would be most pointless?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Make sure you've got the names right.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Yes, I'm sure of Catiline, Burial Mound, I think,
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- but I'm happy enough with the other two.- OK.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- I've no idea which would be more pointless.- I've no idea.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Time's up.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41We were looking for plays by Ibsen. I now need your three answers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42- Catiline.- Catiline.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Norma.- Norma.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- And The Burial Mound. - The Burial Mound.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Do you want to pick one to be your most likely punt at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55I suppose Catiline because I know it's right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58We'll put Catiline last.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Your least likely?- The Burial Mound. I'm not sure of the title.- OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:08- Well, it's the English translation. Maybe there are several translations of the original.- Yes.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Let's put those up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:39:16 > 0:39:19We were looking for the plays of Henrik Ibsen.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Your first answer was The Burial Mound.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25You said this was your least confident shot.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £8,250.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Adam, Claire, what would you do with £8,250?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Claire wants a shed and I want a race horse.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41The answer's obvious, isn't it? Buy a shed and keep the horse in it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43No, no, no! The shed is for me.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48You know those sheds that you plonk in the garden and you have heating and...?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50They're called shepherd's houses or something.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- And then I can just sit there and - - On wheels!- That sounds nice!
0:39:53 > 0:39:56With a log stove in it. Ahh! That's a nice idea.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- Yeah, OK.- Hang on, this is eating into your race horse.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I'll get a leg of a horse and we can have the shed.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07We could have a rota. I could be in there one day and...!
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Very, very exciting.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10OK, your first answer,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13The Burial Mound...
0:40:13 > 0:40:16For £8,250,
0:40:16 > 0:40:20let's see how many people said The Burial Mound.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's right.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27You have played so strongly the whole way through this show
0:40:27 > 0:40:30that I have every confidence this will go a very long way down, possibly all the way.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33If it does, you leave here with £8,250.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- You've done it! - CHEERING & APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:40That is absolutely brilliant! Very, very well done indeed!
0:40:40 > 0:40:41That is fantastic!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43There's your race horse!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I told you we'd do it.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52CHEERING DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Wow! Well, congratulations!
0:40:55 > 0:40:58The Burial Mound was a pointless answer,
0:40:58 > 0:41:02which means you leave here with £8,250.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Brilliant. - APPLAUSE
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Time to start, er...
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Time to start getting onto those bloodstock agents, and a shed!
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Maybe there's an online shed... - Thing!- ..delivery service!
0:41:17 > 0:41:22- Maybe they do horses at the same time. You never know! - The horse can bring the shed.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24And then live in it!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Richard, what about that? - That's the way to play Pointless!
0:41:27 > 0:41:33From start to finish, from Leonard Cohen, through Vanity Fair, all the way to Henrik Ibsen!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35That's very, very impressive!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Norma... also a pointless answer. - Well done!
0:41:39 > 0:41:41APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:49And Catiline, I don't want to bring you down, but would've scored 1 point!
0:41:49 > 0:41:54So you're not all that, guys! You are not all that!
0:41:54 > 0:42:00Another one you mentioned was a pointless answer. Let's look at all of them.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02John Gabriel Borkman, you said during your 60 seconds.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07- I thought it was John Henry Borkman. - That would've been... - That would've been annoying.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Honestly, he's quite thick, isn't he? LAUGHTER
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Just a bit... It's fine, but...
0:42:14 > 0:42:19When We Dead Awaken had its first performance at the Theatre Royal in Haymarket.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Rosmersholm also a pointless answer. There's John Gabriel Borkman.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25St John's Night, Lady Inger of Ostrat.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26There's The Burial Mound.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30It was the second play he wrote but the first ever to be performed.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34The League of Youth, Pillars of Society and The Vikings at Helgeland.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Brilliantly played. It's a lovely way to bring up our 499th show.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46500 next time. But what a lovely way to end our first half a millennium.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Thanks, Richard. Thanks to our winning players, Adam and Claire,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £8,250.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time for our special 500th show.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- ..and goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
