0:00:21 > 0:00:24- APPLAUSE - Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:24 > 0:00:30I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless where all the questions have been asked to 100 people

0:00:30 > 0:00:36and our contestants come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of. Let's meet the players.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE

0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Couple number one.- Hello, I'm Roger. This is my daughter Katie.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48I live at Bookham outside Leatherhead and Kate lives outside Swindon.

0:00:48 > 0:00:54- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Rob. This is my friend Geraint. We're both from near Stansted.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Couple number three.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Morgan. This is my girlfriend Jamie and we're from Cardiff.

0:01:00 > 0:01:05- Finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Andy. This is my dad David and we're from Sheffield.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07These are today's contestants.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09APPLAUSE

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18There's just one more person to introduce. If he gave you a piece of his mind,

0:01:18 > 0:01:23- you'd probably want to keep a bit of it in your garage. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- APPLAUSE - Hi, everyone.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35So, last show, we introduced our slightly new end game.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- We launched End Game Mark Three. - Yeah.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- It seemed to go all right. - I think so.- We gave away the money.

0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Certainly, yeah. It worked in that sense.- It worked for Gillian and Sarah. They weren't complaining.- No.

0:01:48 > 0:01:54Only Jamie and Morgan are back from that show, but they got all the way to the head-to-head,

0:01:54 > 0:01:58so they're a very strong pair for our new teams to take on. It should be a very good show.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01All our questions were put to 100 people before the show

0:02:01 > 0:02:05and our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:02:05 > 0:02:11Everyone wants to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave and each time that happens,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:13 > 0:02:19Gillian and Sarah won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there is no conferring.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is sent home.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Our first category today is...

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Animation. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:53 > 0:02:59- Richard?- This is one of those questions where I want kids at home to do better than their parents,

0:02:59 > 0:03:01so pay attention.

0:03:01 > 0:03:07On each pass, we'll show you seven descriptions of characters from Disney animation films.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Just tell us who that character is. We'll give you the year that the film was made as well.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17There will be 14 in all to have a go at. Very best of luck. I hope you beat your parents.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22OK, we're looking for the names of these Disney characters and here is our first board of seven.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'll read those one final time.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15Roger and Katie, you all drew lots before the show, and you go first.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20- Katie, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. You are from Swindon.- I am, yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25- What do you do?- I'm a primary school teaching assistant.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30- How long have you done that for? - About 18 months. - Do they all know you're here?- No.

0:04:30 > 0:04:36- I've been very quiet about it. - Very good. Can you keep the secret? If you win, you can let it out.- Yes.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- If I lose, I will maintain silence. - OK, I won't say a word.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- It's between you and I. - OK. What are your hobbies?

0:04:43 > 0:04:49I quite like my photography, I quite like sport and the outdoors and I like hanging out with my mates.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54Good stuff. Now, Disney characters. As a board, do you think that's a good board?

0:04:54 > 0:04:58- This is a good board.- Good. - I think I can answer them all.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I'm going to go for Experiment 626 in the middle.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'm going to go for Stitch.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Stitch?- Yeah.- Stitch.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Let's see if Stitch is right and if it is, how many people said it.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's right. Very well done, Katie.

0:05:21 > 0:05:2220.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- APPLAUSE - Good score to get us going, Katie. Well done. 20 for Stitch.

0:05:27 > 0:05:33Yes, from Lilo & Stitch, Lilo being the Hawaiian girl and Stitch as an extra-terrestrial fugitive.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Rob, welcome to Pointless. What do you do? - I'm a freelance graphic designer.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41I mainly do rebranding for local companies.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45I've just done my brother's wedding invitations as well.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- You've rebranded him. Good. - Yeah. And his fiancee, obviously.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54- Rob, what do you get up to when you're not doing that? - I do a lot of wood-turning.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- I got a lathe for my birthday, so I make a lot of...- Banisters? - Yeah. Candlesticks.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Anything wooden and round, I make those.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Wow! OK, now then, Disney characters...

0:06:05 > 0:06:10Yeah, I had that in my head. That was my most obscure one.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Do you know all the other ones up there?- I don't.

0:06:13 > 0:06:19So, I'm tossing up between Ariel's pet crab and the little grey rabbit.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22And I think I'm going to go for...

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Sebastian the crab.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Sebastian the crab, says Rob. Let's see if Sebastian is right and how many people said it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's right.

0:06:33 > 0:06:3620 is our only score at the moment.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38You go past that to 18.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43- APPLAUSE - Very well done, Rob. 18 for Sebastian the crab.

0:06:43 > 0:06:50- Well played, Rob. From The Little Mermaid. Good start to the round. - Very good. Jamie, welcome back.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Thank you. - Tell us what happened last time.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58We got to the head-to-head, but neither of us are great on sport, particularly jockeys.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Yes, OK. Now, how are you on Disney?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I love Disney.- Good.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07I know most of them. I can't quite remember the top one.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09And I was going to go for Stitch,

0:07:09 > 0:07:13so I think I'll go for the evil fairy who curses Briar Rose

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- as Maleficent.- Maleficent.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23It is right.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30A new low score - 5. Very well done, Jamie.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- APPLAUSE - That's a great answer - 5.

0:07:33 > 0:07:39Yeah, from Sleeping Beauty. She came number one in a poll to find Disney's top villain.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44Angelina Jolie is going to play her in the live action film.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Now then, Andy, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Andy?

0:07:48 > 0:07:54I'm a student studying History down at the University of West England in Bristol.

0:07:54 > 0:08:02- What do you get up to in your spare time?- I'm an avid football fan. I support Sheffield Wednesday.

0:08:02 > 0:08:08Very good. You're the last person to have this board, Andy. Do you feel like filling in any of the blanks?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I can't name the dragon.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Dumbo, I think, is the elephant who could fly.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Thumper, I believe, is the little grey rabbit.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19And the villainess, I think, is Cruella de Vil,

0:08:19 > 0:08:24so I think I'll go with Cruella de Vil for the villainess who wants to make a fur coat.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29Let's see if Cruella de Vil is right and let's see how many people said Cruella de Vil.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's right.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, 55.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41- APPLAUSE - That's a high score. 55 for Cruella de Vil.

0:08:41 > 0:08:48Yeah, but a brilliant round and, Andy, you knew three and you chose the best score of those three.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52You did as well as you could have done without knowing the dragon.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Bambi, as you say, the little grey rabbit was Thumper.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59That would have scored you more points. It would have scored you 65.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03The elephant was Dumbo. That would have scored you 82.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07The best answer on the board is the little dragon. Anybody here know it?

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Katie?- You know, I had it and it's gone. I can't...

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- It's Mushu.- Mushu, yes. - It would have scored 3 points.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Very well done to anybody who got that at home of whatever age.- Thanks.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:22 > 0:09:265, the best score of that pass, Jamie and Morgan looking pretty good.

0:09:26 > 0:09:2918 is where we find Rob and Geraint,

0:09:29 > 0:09:34then up to 20, Katie and Roger, then up to 55, Andy and David.

0:09:34 > 0:09:40David, you're going to get first pick of the next board. Try and find a nice, low-scoring answer on that.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:09:45 > 0:09:50OK, we're going to put seven more descriptions on the board and here they come.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'll read those one final time.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Now then, David, we are looking for the names of these Disney characters

0:10:46 > 0:10:51and you'll try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. What do you do, David?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- I'm retired.- What did you do, David?

0:10:54 > 0:10:59I was a vicar for a long time and I was a teacher for a good number of years.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- When did you retire?- 18 months ago. - How are you enjoying retirement? - Very much.

0:11:04 > 0:11:11- You'll have your Saturdays back now. - Saturdays, weekends, evenings, all these things I didn't know existed.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- What do you do with your time? - Various things.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18I like to play tennis. I'm interested in local history.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- I was a Games Maker at the Olympics. - Very good. Where were you doing that?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27- I was in the Olympic Park on the Transport Team.- Very exciting.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33Now then, David, what we need from you is as low a score as you can possibly find.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35How does the board look to you?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38I didn't really like the category, to be honest about it,

0:11:38 > 0:11:42but I think I've got one on this that I can have a go at,

0:11:42 > 0:11:46so I'm going to go for the large bear and I'm going to say Baloo.

0:11:46 > 0:11:53There's no red line for you because you're the high scorers, but let's see how far down Baloo can get you.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's right.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's a high score, I'm afraid, though.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- APPLAUSE - 66 takes your total up to 121.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Yeah, from The Jungle Book, of course. It's a big score.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12The last film to be produced by Walt Disney. He died during production of The Jungle Book.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17Morgan, welcome back to the show. Remind us what you do, Morgan.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21- I'm a securitisation assistant. - For a bank?- For a big bank, yes.

0:12:21 > 0:12:26- Right you are. As we discovered last time, you're a keen rugby player.- I am indeed.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31- What else can you tell us about yourself?- I like to go and watch the rugby with Jamie

0:12:31 > 0:12:35- whose dad actually used to play for Wales.- Really?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Oh, Jamie, that was a smouldering look!

0:12:38 > 0:12:41- LAUGHTER - When did he play?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44He used to play for Wales and Cardiff back in the '80s.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Very good. Morgan, what are you going to go for?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I think I can get all the answers on that board.

0:12:51 > 0:12:57You are already through because the high scorers, David and Andy, are out of everyone's reach.

0:12:57 > 0:13:03I think I'll take a punt on the TV-obsessed hamster who follows Bolt around and that is Rhino.

0:13:03 > 0:13:09No red line for you, you're already through, but let's see how many of our 100 said Rhino.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Very well done, Morgan - 2.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- APPLAUSE - 2 for Rhino. Takes your total to 7.

0:13:25 > 0:13:31Great answer. Jamie and Morgan, you were terrific last show. You're setting a very fast pace again.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Now then, Geraint, welcome.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Geraint?

0:13:37 > 0:13:41I'm an environmental monitoring technician for an aggregate company.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44What is that? What does that mean?

0:13:44 > 0:13:50In short, I go round and take samples and test the water from quarries and landfills and things like that.

0:13:50 > 0:13:55Wow, just to make sure there's nothing toxic draining into the water table.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58What's the worst thing you've found? Do I want to know?

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- I've never found anything bad, really.- Excellent.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Geraint, you are through to the next round. This is great news.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11But do you think you might be good at this board? Have you got any good answers?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13I know a few from there.

0:14:13 > 0:14:18I'm going to go with the top one and a warthog called Pumbaa.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23Pumbaa. Let's see if that's right. No red line for you. You're through.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26But let's see how many people said Pumbaa.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Absolutely right.

0:14:31 > 0:14:3428.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- APPLAUSE - 28 takes your total up to 46.

0:14:39 > 0:14:45- Well played. From The Lion King. He was the first Disney character to...- Break wind.- Yeah.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Roger...

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Roger, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54These days, I'm very happily retired.

0:14:54 > 0:15:01- What have you happily retired from? - I used to work for a very large IT company, a pan-European IT company.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05- What do you do with your time now, Roger?- It's pretty full.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08I do a lot of photography. I chair a camera club.

0:15:08 > 0:15:14I work as a volunteer with the National Trust and I've gone back to school and I'm learning French.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19- How's that going? - It's still in term one and it's getting better all the time.

0:15:19 > 0:15:25I'm determined to learn French again. Now, this board is all yours. Take us through it. Fill it in.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29The rat is Ratatouille.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32The Seven Dwarfs, Grumpy.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36The cocker spaniel I know, but I can't remember.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41And the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, I can't remember who the last person around that table was,

0:15:41 > 0:15:43so I'll go with Ratatouille.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49Ratatouille. No red line. You're already through. Let's see how many people said Ratatouille.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Not the name of the character. - Oh! Name of the film.

0:15:56 > 0:16:02Katie's telling you what was wrong with that answer. An incorrect answer scores you 100 points.

0:16:02 > 0:16:07- It takes your total up to 120, just one behind our high scorers, David and Andy.- Oops!

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Yeah, the film is Ratatouille. Katie, do you know the character?

0:16:11 > 0:16:16- I don't know the name of the character.- Yet you're having a go at your dad?- Well...

0:16:16 > 0:16:19That's how it works in our family.

0:16:19 > 0:16:24- It seems a bit rich, Roger, to me. - Yeah.- But you're safely through to the next round.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Remy is the name of the rat. It would have scored you 3 points.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32You're right about Grumpy, but that's a big scorer.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35It didn't score 100, but it scored 82.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39- The cocker spaniel, does anyone know that?- Lady?- Lady, yeah, absolutely.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41It would have scored 23.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46And the character missing from that list at the Tea Party...

0:16:46 > 0:16:48- The Dormouse?- The Dormouse, yeah.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50That would have scored 18.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54The best answer on that board, Morgan's Rhino. Very well done.

0:16:54 > 0:17:00Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round, the losing pair heading away with their score of 121,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02it's David and Andy.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Nothing wrong with your answers. They were just two very high scores. That was the trouble.

0:17:07 > 0:17:13- Sorry we have to send you away so soon, but we'll see you next time. Thanks for playing!- Thank you.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15APPLAUSE

0:17:15 > 0:17:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:24 > 0:17:29So, we're down to three pairs now and one other pair will be leaving us after this round.

0:17:29 > 0:17:35Jamie and Morgan, once again, setting out your stall. Brilliant low scoring. Very well done.

0:17:35 > 0:17:42- Roger, phew!- One point.- You were very lucky there. He was a bit slack, Katie, didn't you think?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Must try harder. - Yeah, I think he could.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Geraint, Rob, nothing at all wrong with your round there.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:17:54 > 0:18:00UK History. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:18:07 > 0:18:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Conservative Prime Ministers as they could.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18- Richard?- We're looking for the name of any Conservative or Tory UK Prime Minister

0:18:18 > 0:18:24from 1800 to the present day, so anyone who's been a Conservative or Tory Prime Minister.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Very best of luck.- OK, Katie...

0:18:27 > 0:18:30How's your political history, Katie?

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Um...yeah.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37When we were asked what our weak spots were, politics was mine.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42- OK.- I know lots of Prime Ministers, but not which party they were from.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Good point. Yes, were they Whig or were they Tory?

0:18:45 > 0:18:51I read a list yesterday and didn't pay any attention to which party they were from.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56There's an answer in my head and I'm just not confident that it's accurate,

0:18:56 > 0:18:58so I'm not going to go with it.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm going to say Ted Heath.

0:19:00 > 0:19:07- Ted Heath. Is that your safe answer? - No, that's not my safe answer, but it's an answer.- It's an answer.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Ted Heath.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14It's right.

0:19:17 > 0:19:1844.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21APPLAUSE

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- 44 for Ted Heath.- Yeah, the Prime Minister from 1970 to 1974.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28He took us into the EEC, as it was then.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Geraint...

0:19:30 > 0:19:32How are you feeling about this?

0:19:32 > 0:19:37It's not my strongest suit, to be honest, but I'll give it a go.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Again I'm going to have to go for a safe one.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'll say John Major.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48Let's see if John Major is right and let's see how many of our 100 people said John Major.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's right.

0:19:51 > 0:19:5364.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55APPLAUSE

0:19:55 > 0:19:5764 for John Major.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Yeah, '90 to '97, John Major. They are playing it safe.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06Some people at home are so brilliant on history. This is the sort of category they love.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09There's plenty of obscure answers out there.

0:20:09 > 0:20:15Those people will be happy now because Morgan is stepping up to the mark. Morgan...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- It's not my favourite subject. - Really?- Not really.

0:20:18 > 0:20:25I did have a look at some British Prime Ministers, but not whether they were Conservative or Labour,

0:20:25 > 0:20:31so I'll take a punt at someone I knew was Prime Minister, but not a clue whether he was Conservative or not.

0:20:31 > 0:20:38- William Gladstone?- William Gladstone. Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Bad luck, Morgan.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46An incorrect answer. It scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Sorry, Morgan. He was a Prime Minister, but a Liberal, I'm afraid.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54But at least fair play to you for taking a risk, taking a punt.

0:20:54 > 0:20:59Thanks very much. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:20:59 > 0:21:0244, the best score of that pass, Katie, well done.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06Katie and Roger looking strong contenders for our head-to-head,

0:21:06 > 0:21:11then up to Geraint and Rob on 64, then up to Morgan and Jamie on 100.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16Jamie, you've done brilliantly to date. This is the first time you've had a mountain to climb,

0:21:16 > 0:21:21but if anyone can get over it, it's you, so we need a good answer from you.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Best of luck. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:21:28 > 0:21:32OK, Jamie, we are looking for Conservative Prime Ministers.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35You're on 100. We need a low score from you.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Um...I have absolutely no idea.

0:21:39 > 0:21:45Again I know... I don't even know if this is his full name, whether he's Conservative, no idea.

0:21:45 > 0:21:51I suppose there's no point in going, "He's the only one I know." I'll say David Lloyd George?

0:21:51 > 0:21:55David Lloyd George. No red line for you. You are the high scorers.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Let's see how many people said David Lloyd George. Is it right?

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Bad luck, Jamie. Another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Sorry, Jamie. Another Liberal as well,

0:22:09 > 0:22:13so your Liberal-Liberal coalition has scored 200.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Now then, Rob...

0:22:16 > 0:22:22- Some good news - you're through. - Very good news.- You won't overtake the high score of Jamie and Morgan.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25We do want an answer from you, though.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Well, my "A" Level Politics teacher is probably shouting at me right now

0:22:29 > 0:22:32because I can't remember any of them.

0:22:32 > 0:22:38Unfortunate, but I'm going to take a punt, hopefully, at Enoch Powell?

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Enoch Powell... Gets a groan from the audience.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45No red line for you. You're already through.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49But let's see, Enoch Powell, Tory Prime Minister...?

0:22:51 > 0:22:55What did you get in your "A" Level Politics, Rob?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57LAUGHTER

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I got an E, I think it was. - Definitely wasn't 100.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Bad luck, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer, Enoch Powell.

0:23:04 > 0:23:10Not a Tory Prime Minister. It scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 164.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13They must have changed "A" Level Politics since my day.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15They must have done.

0:23:15 > 0:23:21He was a Tory, Enoch Powell. He became an Ulster Unionist in his later career, but started as a Tory.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Now then, Roger...

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Roger, you're through.

0:23:26 > 0:23:31- I'm feeling quite comfortable. - You're in the head-to-head. You can have a bit of a punt.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35The lowest score has been 44. I have every hope that you'll slash that.

0:23:35 > 0:23:42If I was going for a relatively modern one, I would go Alec Douglas-Home,

0:23:42 > 0:23:46but I think I'll dive back into the 19th century

0:23:46 > 0:23:50and go, um...Earl of Liverpool?

0:23:50 > 0:23:56No red line. You're already through. Let's see how many people said the Earl of Liverpool.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's right.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06It scores 1.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- APPLAUSE - Very nearly pointless.

0:24:09 > 0:24:15Still an excellent answer. It takes your total up to 45. Well done, Roger.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20Yeah, well played, Roger. He's the second longest serving Prime Minister of all, 1812 to 1827,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23the Earl of Liverpool.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27I'll give you a few answers because we haven't heard very many.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32Alec Douglas-Home would have scored you 13 points, Anthony Eden 9, Disraeli 7.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36Neville Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin scored 4 points.

0:24:36 > 0:24:41You'd have got 3 for William Pitt the Younger. Robert Peel and Henry Addington scored 2.

0:24:41 > 0:24:47Arthur Balfour, Duke of Wellington, Earl of Liverpool scored 1. Let's take a look at the pointless ones.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Two contemporaries first, Earl of Aberdeen and Earl of Derby.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54George Canning, 1827, he became Prime Minister.

0:24:54 > 0:24:59Spencer Perceval was assassinated. That's always a good pub quiz question.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04And Viscount Goderich, who only lasted four months, he was a pointless answer.

0:25:04 > 0:25:09Let's take a look at the ones that most of our 100 people said. Churchill was fifth.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13He would have scored you 43 points, even less than Ted Heath.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15But third, John Major - 64.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18David Cameron - 74...

0:25:19 > 0:25:21LAUGHTER

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Hmm...

0:25:24 > 0:25:28And Margaret Thatcher scores 88 points.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33So, Jamie and Morgan...

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Oh, I can't believe it! You've been snagged.

0:25:37 > 0:25:43This is very much against the grain. You've played so well in every round of Pointless until now.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47We have to say goodbye. Really sorry to have to say goodbye so soon.

0:25:47 > 0:25:53But you've been brilliant contestants. Thank you so much for playing, Jamie and Morgan!

0:25:53 > 0:25:54APPLAUSE

0:25:54 > 0:25:58For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08Congratulations, Roger and Katie, Geraint and Rob, you are one step closer to the final

0:26:08 > 0:26:11and a chance to play for our jackpot of £1,000.

0:26:11 > 0:26:16We have to decide who will play for that jackpot and to do that, you go head-to-head.

0:26:16 > 0:26:22You're now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions will play for that money.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Roger and Katie, well done. Nice, consistent low scoring.

0:26:25 > 0:26:30You've seen off our brilliant, low-scoring pair from the first round.

0:26:30 > 0:26:37- Earl of Liverpool, a particularly good answer.- I had to make up for my 100 in Round One.- I guess you did.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42- Rob, you have to make up for your 100 for Enoch Powell. - At least I had the right party.

0:26:42 > 0:26:48He's not Prime Minister though. Best of luck. Geraint can keep you on the straight and narrow now.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Let's play the head-to-head.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52APPLAUSE

0:26:54 > 0:26:58OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:27:00 > 0:27:06- Richard?- We're going to show you five pictures now of animals that are known by five-letter names.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11Can you pick the most obscure? I don't mean like a cat called Mitzy.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK, let's reveal our five animals and here they are.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Aw!- Aw!

0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Aw!- Nyeh...- Really?- Nyeh.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Aww!

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Ohh!- Eeh...

0:27:34 > 0:27:40There we are. Roger and Katie, you played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43WHISPERING

0:28:03 > 0:28:08We're, um... We have no idea what A or C are.

0:28:08 > 0:28:14We know the other three. We're just trying to work out which the 100 people are going to know less of.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Dad thinks we should go with... - I know what C is.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Hang on. Dad knows what C is.- Stoat.

0:28:19 > 0:28:25- Let's go with that.- We'll go with that.- Yeah.- We'll go C, stoat.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27C, stoat.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29C, stoat.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33Now, Geraint and Rob, talk us through the rest of the board.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37I don't think we've got a clue what "A" is either, to be honest.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- B is a hyena.- I think we might have just made "A" up.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44- Some sort of horse? - It's a hybrid - something's head on something's body!

0:28:44 > 0:28:49We think B is a hyena, D is an otter and E is, obviously, a tiger.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53I think "A" might be a bongo or a banjo.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57- That's instruments!- That sounds like something I've made up.- Yeah.

0:28:57 > 0:29:02You genuinely think it is? It sounds like... I'm not going to take it as your answer.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06I've not got the track record, so we're not going with that.

0:29:06 > 0:29:12- You think it might sound like...? - A bongo or...- A bongo or a banjo. - Some kind of musical instrument.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- OK, fine. - What do you reckon we go for then?

0:29:15 > 0:29:17WHISPERING

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think D and E are too easy. I'd say B.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25OK, we'll go B. On your head be it.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29- Yeah, hyena.- B?- We'll go B, hyena.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31So we have stoat versus hyena.

0:29:31 > 0:29:37Roger and Katie said stoat. Let's see if stoat's right and how many people said it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's right.

0:29:42 > 0:29:4437 for stoat.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47APPLAUSE

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Geraint and Rob have gone for hyena.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Let's see if B is indeed a hyena. Let's see how many people said it.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's right.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Oh, 70 for hyena. - APPLAUSE

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Very well done, Roger and Katie. After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13- Well played, Roger and Katie. That's "stoats" amazeballs. - LAUGHTER

0:30:13 > 0:30:18Now, "A"... There is an antelope called a bongo with stripes. This isn't it.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22But it wouldn't have been a terrible answer. That's the okapi.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24That would have scored 19 points.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28D is the otter.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Looking very cute.- Aw!- 65 points.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35What do you think the tiger scored? What do you reckon he got?

0:30:35 > 0:30:3797.

0:30:37 > 0:30:42Well, I have to say congratulations to all tigers out there. You just scored 100.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Very good.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46He looks moody, doesn't he?

0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Yeah, he does. They always look a bit cross.- Tigers?- Yeah.

0:30:50 > 0:30:55- We said "aw" to the hyena.- Yeah, but it's cute.- It is quite cute.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00You wouldn't normally think of them as quite cute. Thank you very much indeed.

0:31:00 > 0:31:05Geraint and Rob, here comes your second question. You have to win this to stay in the game.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07It concerns...

0:31:08 > 0:31:15- Richard?- We'll show you five clues to facts about Prince Charles. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Prince Charles.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'll read those one final time.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Geraint and Rob, you go first.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48WHISPERING

0:32:03 > 0:32:08OK, we'll go "invested as Prince of Wales at this castle", Caernarfon Castle.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12Caernarfon Castle, say Geraint and Rob.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16Roger and Katie, talk us through the board if you can.

0:32:17 > 0:32:23I can't remember the model village in Dorset. It's "Pound-something", Poundwich, Poundchurch.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Highgrove is his private residence.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30Camilla Parker Bowles he married in 2005.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33And I don't know the children's book.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Mum would. - My mother would, your mother would.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Do you want to go Highgrove? - We'll go with Highgrove.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44Highgrove, say Roger and Katie. Caernarfon Castle versus Highgrove.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Geraint and Rob, you've gone for Caernarfon Castle.

0:32:47 > 0:32:52Let's see if that's right and how many people said Caernarfon Castle.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Absolutely right.

0:32:57 > 0:32:5936.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02APPLAUSE

0:33:02 > 0:33:07Roger and Katie have gone for Highgrove, his Gloucestershire residence.

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Let's see if that's right and how many people said Highgrove.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16It's right. Is it going to beat Caernarfon?

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Yes, it is. Very well done indeed - 19.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21- APPLAUSE - 19 beats 36,

0:33:21 > 0:33:26which means, Roger and Katie, you are through to the final 2-0.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31- Very well done.- Bought Highgrove in 1980 from Maurice Macmillan, son of Harold Macmillan,

0:33:31 > 0:33:36- a Conservative Prime Minister. It all fits together in the end. - Beautiful.

0:33:36 > 0:33:42You were very close to getting the best answer up there, the model village he has in Dorset.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46- Not a model village like a tiny one.- No, it's a proper, full size.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- It's Poundbury.- Poundbury. - That would have scored 6 points.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53The woman he married was Camilla Parker Bowles. Big scorer, 79.

0:33:53 > 0:33:59And the title of his 1980 children's book, he read it himself on Jackanory in 1984,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01and it was The Old Man Of Lochnagar.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Very well done if you said that - 8 points.- Thank you.

0:34:04 > 0:34:10So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's Geraint and Rob.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Oh, you was robbed there. Two brilliant... - LAUGHTER

0:34:14 > 0:34:20Two perfectly good answers. I'm afraid though stoat and Highgrove just got in under your score.

0:34:20 > 0:34:26We have to say goodbye to you, but we'll see you again next time. Geraint and Rob, thanks for playing!

0:34:26 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE

0:34:29 > 0:34:32But for Roger and Katie, it's time for our Pointless final.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40Congratulations, Roger and Katie, you've fought off the competition

0:34:40 > 0:34:44and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

0:34:49 > 0:34:55You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which, at the end of today's show, stands at £1,000.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59You've done very well indeed. Here you are, newcomers to the game.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03Roger, you had a bit of a shocker in the first round with Ratatouille,

0:35:03 > 0:35:07but clawed it all back with the Earl of Liverpool in the second round.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Yeah, the 100 was a bit of a shock,

0:35:10 > 0:35:17but my wife will be delighted that I remembered the name of her favourite Prime Minister from the 19th century.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Her favourite?- It's the one she always comes up with.

0:35:20 > 0:35:26If there's one thing I know about relationships, you have to know your wife's favourite Prime Minister.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29- They go nuts if you forget.- Yeah.

0:35:29 > 0:35:34We've made a little change to the end game. This is our second show with this new end game,

0:35:34 > 0:35:40but as always, you need to choose a category before we can go anywhere and your choices are these.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48That's a no-brainer.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53- World Geography?- World Geography. - World Geography it is.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57OK, well, we're going to go for World Geography. Richard?

0:35:57 > 0:36:01In our new end game, we'll give you three options within this category.

0:36:01 > 0:36:07You still have 60 seconds, you still have to give us three answers and get a pointless one.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Here are your three options.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24We may have changed the end game a bit,

0:36:24 > 0:36:29but by country, I still mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

0:36:29 > 0:36:34You can take one from each category, three from one, however you want to do it. You've got 60 seconds.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37As always, very, very best of luck.

0:36:37 > 0:36:42OK, as always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46All you need to win that jackpot is to find one pointless answer.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50The answers you provide can come from any of these three.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01Are you ready, Roger and Katie?

0:37:01 > 0:37:05- As we'll ever be.- We're ready.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10OK, non-European members of...

0:37:11 > 0:37:16Canada, America, Brazil, Argentina, Japan.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21- South Korea, I think.- South Africa? - And China.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24African countries, Zaire, Angola...

0:37:24 > 0:37:29I don't know if the dreaded Central African Republic fits in there.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32Capital cities of NATO members...

0:37:34 > 0:37:40- I think we'll go with non-European members of the G20.- You just go for it, Dad. You're on a roll.

0:37:42 > 0:37:47- I'll go Argentina, Brazil...- Do you think they might be quite obvious?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Let me just take...

0:37:49 > 0:37:51I know Argentina definitely.

0:37:51 > 0:37:56And I'll take a couple of countries around central Africa, around the Congo.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Did you just say Zaire?- Zaire... - Ten seconds left.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- And...- What was the other one? - Angola.- Go with Angola.- OK.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07Go with those two, then one of the South American ones.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Done.- OK, just as you say "done", your time is up.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12I now need your three answers.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Angola.- Angola.- Zaire.

0:38:16 > 0:38:22Angola and Zaire from the African countries sharing a border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

0:38:22 > 0:38:27- And Argentina.- And Argentina, which is a non-European member of the G20.

0:38:27 > 0:38:32- Of those three, which is your best crack at a pointless answer? - Zaire.- We'll put that last.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Which is your least likely?

0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Argentina.- Let's pop those up on the board in that order.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Very best of luck. Your first answer was Argentina.

0:38:45 > 0:38:50This was in the category of non-European members of the G20.

0:38:50 > 0:38:57Only one of these answers has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000. Let's find out.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01Argentina, is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:39:03 > 0:39:06It is right. You were pretty confident this was right.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10It's just a question of how far down the column it goes.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Argentina taking us through the 20s, into the teens, single figures.

0:39:14 > 0:39:155!

0:39:15 > 0:39:19- APPLAUSE - 5 for Argentina.

0:39:20 > 0:39:25That's a great score. You'd always be happy with 5 in Pointless, except in the last round

0:39:25 > 0:39:28where we are only interested in pointless answers.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32What would you do with your share of £1,000, Roger?

0:39:32 > 0:39:36I think my wife would have some very good ideas on how to spend £500.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Hopefully, it would also involve me.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Katie?- My children are desperate to visit London,

0:39:42 > 0:39:47so that would do a whole weekend with the London Eye and the theatre, the whole shebang.

0:39:47 > 0:39:52Lovely. Very best of luck. Let's hope at least one of your answers is pointless.

0:39:52 > 0:39:58Your second answer was Angola. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see if it's pointless.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Does Angola border the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

0:40:04 > 0:40:06OK, well, it's also correct.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Argentina was a right answer, took us all the way down to 5.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Angola now taking us down through the teens, into single figures.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Down it goes, still going down...

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- 3! - APPLAUSE

0:40:21 > 0:40:27- 3 for Angola.- We're going in the right direction.- It's all going in the right direction.

0:40:27 > 0:40:32Your final answer was Zaire. This was the answer you thought was most likely to be pointless.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36It has to be if you're going to win that jackpot of £1,000.

0:40:36 > 0:40:42Let's see. Zaire, is it right, is it pointless? Does Zaire border the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Oh, no!

0:40:46 > 0:40:48- Oh, bad luck!- Never mind.

0:40:48 > 0:40:54Unfortunately, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:40:54 > 0:40:58so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000 which rolls over to the next show,

0:40:58 > 0:41:04but thank you so much for playing and you take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done indeed.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Thank you.- Thank you very much.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Richard?

0:41:11 > 0:41:17Zaire no longer exists. We were looking for countries that border the Democratic Republic of the Congo

0:41:17 > 0:41:23- and Zaire IS the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I'm afraid. - Oh, well!- That's unlucky.

0:41:23 > 0:41:29You mentioned Central African Republic. Would have scored you 2 points. That borders it as well.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34Tanzania would have scored 2 as well, but there's one pointless answer for that category,

0:41:34 > 0:41:38the African one, Burundi, so well done if you said that at home.

0:41:38 > 0:41:44Let's move on to the non-European members of the G20. You went through almost every single one of them

0:41:44 > 0:41:49when you went through your 60 seconds, but you missed the one pointless answer,

0:41:49 > 0:41:52- which was Indonesia. - I was going to say that.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56The most pointless answers were from our last category.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00It's the capital cities of NATO member countries.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04Bucharest, which is Romania, Luxembourg, which is Luxembourg,

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Prague, the Czech Republic, and Riga, Latvia.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12You could also have had Bratislava, which is Slovakia, Ljubljana, which is Slovenia.

0:42:12 > 0:42:18You could have had Tirana, Albania, Vilnius of Lithuania, and Zagreb, Croatia, all of those pointless.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Well done if you got any pointless answers at home.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- And you might have said Indonesia. - I was going to...

0:42:25 > 0:42:29- I default to Dad. Dad knows everything.- No, he doesn't.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32And I knew most of those NATO members...

0:42:32 > 0:42:39- You went through most of them. Saudi Arabia was a very low scorer.- 60 seconds is a remarkably short time.

0:42:39 > 0:42:45- We say goodbye, Roger and Katie, but it's been wonderful having you on the show.- Thanks.- Roger and Katie!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE

0:42:48 > 0:42:53Sadly, Roger and Katie didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over

0:42:53 > 0:42:56on to the next show when we'll be playing for £2,000.

0:42:58 > 0:43:04- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me!
