0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31This is the quiz show where all the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:31 > 0:00:36and our contestants have to come up with the answers those 100 couldn't think of. Let's meet the players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- And couple number one.- Hello, I'm Luke, this is my girlfriend Carolyn,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm from London and she's from Boston in America.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- And couple number two. - Hello, my name is Kevin,
0:00:51 > 0:00:56this is my wonderful friend Karen who I have known for 25 years and we come from the West Midlands.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Alex, this is my dad Mike
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- and we're from North Newbald near Beverley. - And finally, couple number four.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Katy, this is my friend Lynne,
0:01:06 > 0:01:11we first met when we were 11 and we come from the New Forest.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Thanks. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So that just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26A beefy bailiff knocking on your door, ready to repossess your ignorance.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:35 > 0:01:37What kind of a show have we got today?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We've got two returning pairs. Mike and Alex, who we saw very briefly.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- Do you remember them?- Yes.- It was a blink and you miss them.- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51They've got a lot to make up. Alex says he's more nervous this time, Mike says he's much calmer.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I don't quite know where that's coming from but it'll be interesting to see how they go.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59And Katy and Lynne were terrific last time. I suspect they'll do well. We gave them a tough category
0:01:59 > 0:02:02in round two. But it should be a cracker, I think. Should be a lot of fun.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- We've got four good pairs. And we've got an American!- Always nice.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10That's nice, isn't it? Always nice to have our colonial cousins over.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- In a good way. - I'm trying to get "re-pay-triated."
0:02:14 > 0:02:18See, we would say "re-pat-riated." LAUGHTER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- I'm working on it, I'm trying. - But that's the nice thing, isn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Well, good stuff. Thanks, Richard.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27All our questions have been put to 100 people.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Our contestants need to find the obscure answers our 100 people didn't get.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Phil and Emma didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48So today's jackpot starts off at £8,250.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:02:57 > 0:03:02OK, in this first round, I want an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06At the end of the round, whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Our first category today is...
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20And the question concerns...
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Surnames beginning with H, Richard. - We're going to give you seven clues on each pass
0:03:28 > 0:03:31to famous people who are commonly known by a surname beginning with H.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Can you give us the most obscure? There'll be 14 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40We'd like you to give the full names of these people whose surnames begin with H.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43OK, our first board looks like this.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26There we are, seven people whose surnames begin with an H.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Carolyn and Luke, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Carolyn, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- You live in London.- I do, yes. - How long have you lived here?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Nearly seven years.- Right. And you came here for Boston.- I did, yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- Where did you meet Luke?- We met at his work's tenth anniversary party.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51So a friend of mine worked with him and I went to the party with my friend
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and then met Luke.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- We met before that, but... - That's right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59We met before that but he forgot that we met, so...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Seems like you have too, now.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- It's a bit awkward. - OK. And what do you do, Carolyn?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- I'm a medical student, actually. - Good stuff.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now then, Carolyn, this board of famous people beginning with H.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Yes.- What do you make of it? - It's not great
0:05:15 > 0:05:17but it's not terrible, I hope.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So I think I'm going to go for the founder of Dianetics
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and Scientology and say L Ron Hubbard.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28L Ron Hubbard. OK, let's see if L Ron Hubbard's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Six. - APPLAUSE
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Very well done. That's a cracking score, Carolyn. Well done.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Six for L Ron Hubbard. - Well played, Carolyn. Great start.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And L Ron Hubbard was another American who made his home in the UK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- He lived near East Grinstead for many years.- There we are. Thank you.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now then, Karen, welcome to Pointless. What do you do?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04I'm a network administrator for an educational IT company.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08What do you like doing in your spare time? What's your favourite occupation?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13I write, I go quizzing and I watch speedway.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- So what do you write?- Fiction.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I did a creative writing degree part-time over six years.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And how many things have you written? Have you finished novels?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I haven't finished anything. We don't finish anything on the writing degree, we start and end things.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- We don't do the middle bit. So... - SHE LAUGHS
0:06:31 > 0:06:33There's a course there I'm going to set up.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm going to do a middle bits course.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Also, that's the easiest bit. - Yeah, chapters two through 19. It's going to be amazing.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- And you quiz!- Yes.- Do you quiz together?- Yes, we quiz together.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- In a team?- Smooth Operators. - Ah! Good. Thank goodness.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I always like a team name that doesn't have a pun in it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- Unless I'm missing something there. Hang on. No, I don't think I am. Who came up with that name?- Kevin.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- She said, almost too quickly. - LAUGHTER
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Now then, Karen, what about these famous people whose surnames begin with H?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I think I'll have a go at the director of The Da Vinci Code,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Ron Howard.- Ron Howard.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Ron Howard, OK. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Ron Howard.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Absolutely right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, six is our lowest score so far.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Nine! Very well done, Karen. - APPLAUSE
0:07:28 > 0:07:34- Ron Howard.- Yeah, also directed A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- and was an actor before he was a director. Richie Cunningham in Happy Days famously.- Mike.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Welcome back. Last time, Mike, talk us through it.- Last time?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yeah. - I've blanked it from my memory.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49We had a tough round on parliamentary terms.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Yes.- Yeah, which wasn't good for us.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- No, civil list was a good answer. - Well, yeah, I was being polite here by saying us.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- LAUGHTER - Now, Alex.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Yeah, we'll come to you in a moment.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Mike, famous people beginning with H.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's not too bad for me, this one. I'll go for the comedian
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- who starred in The Road To Singapore, Bob Hope. - Bob Hope, says Mike.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bob Hope.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Ooh, another low score. Look at that. 11. - APPLAUSE
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Not bad at all.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Some lovely low scoring here.- Yeah. - 89,000 pages of Bob Hope jokes
0:08:35 > 0:08:38are preserved in the US Library of Congress.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Wow.- Written by lots of writers over the years,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46but they're preserved for posterity.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- That's a lot of jokes, isn't it? - It's an awful lot of jokes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Katy, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54So round two last time. What was it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Music.- Music.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Oh, yes, that's right, it was animal bands!- Yes.- OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Now, Katy, you're the last person to have this board, so you could talk us through it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I can't talk us through it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I only know two that are left
0:09:10 > 0:09:16and unfortunately they're both going to be really high-scoring.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22I'm not sure which of the two is going to be the least high-scoring.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27I've got a feeling more people would know the F1 driver
0:09:27 > 0:09:30than a member of the Beatles, but that's probably not true.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'm just going to have to go for the member of the Beatles,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- George Harrison. - OK, George Harrison, says Katy.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Let's see how many people didn't know that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Well, it's still going down. 45. - APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's better than it could've been, Katy. A lot better.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57- Yeah, not too much damage done but it is the biggest scorer up there.- Oh.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01If you had gone for the racing driver, Lewis Hamilton,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03would've scored you 38 points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05The other two are better answers.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Released the album Are You Experienced?- Jim Hendrix. - Would've scored 14 points.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- You know the film The Royal Tenenbaums?- Yes!- Do you remember who plays Royal Tenenbaum, the father?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- No.- Very well done to anyone who said Gene Hackman.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Oh.- Gene Hackman would've scored you six points.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26So Gene Hackman and L Ron Hubbard the best answers up there. Well played.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Six the best score of that pass, Carolyn. Very well done indeed.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Then up to nine, where we find Karen and Kevin.
0:10:35 > 0:10:4011, Mike and Alex. And then 45, quite a long way ahead, Katy and Lynne.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So Lynne, you'll get first pick of the next board.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45But use it wisely. Find a nice low-scorer if you can.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Best of luck. We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK, let's put seven more famous people on the board and here they are.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now, remember, we are looking for the full names of these famous people
0:11:38 > 0:11:40whose surnames begin with an H.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Welcome back, Lynne.- Thank you.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Remind us where you're from. - We're from the New Forest.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48How long have you and Katy known each other?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- We met at school when we were 11. - Wow.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- And did you like each other instantly?- Well, we had an empathy,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58cos we were the two skinniest girls in the school before it was fashionable.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- LAUGHTER - And you decided to put your friendship to the ultimate test.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I know.- And take yourselves onto Pointless.- Yes, I know.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well, Lynne, you have to do something worthy of a friend here.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13You have to see if you can find a really low score.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well... Hm.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm going to take a bit of a chance because we are the high scorers
0:12:19 > 0:12:23and I'm going to go for the first person to hold the title Director of the FBI
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and I hope it was Herbert Hoover.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Herbert Hoover, says Lynne.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32No red line for you. Just have to hope this goes a long way down.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Let's see if Herbert Hoover is right.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37No!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm afraid Herbert Hoover sucks.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43LAUGHTER
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Oh, dear. - That's a wrong answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49takes your total up to 145. I'm sorry, Lynne.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- It's OK.- Sorry, Lynne. I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Now then, Alex. Listen, Alex, I've got great news for you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- You're going to see what round two looks like. - LAUGHTER
0:12:59 > 0:13:02You are through to the next round even if you score 100 points.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07That said, you are nonetheless going to have to give us an answer
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and I think you might have some good answers from that board.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13That board's certainly better than the board that I had last time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18There's a few on there. I'll go for directed Vertigo and Psycho,
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Alfred Hitchcock.- Alfred Hitchcock. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 said it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26There's no red line for you, you're already through.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It is right.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- 29 for Alfred Hitchcock. Takes your total up to 40. - APPLAUSE
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- That's a low score of Hitchcock, isn't it?- Isn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48Now, Kevin. Kevin, lovely low score from Karen in the first pass.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Wasn't that fantastic?- Superb.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56- Great to have you here, Kevin. What do you do?- I run my own small engineering supplies company.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- The company's small or the engineering's small?- It's small parts that are used to make cars.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Right you are. And what do you like doing in your spare time, Kevin?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I enjoy playing golf. I like to play golf a lot.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And I also enjoy going to quizzes with my wonderful friend Karen.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15OK. Now then, Kevin, what about this board?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Have you got a nice low-scoring answer for us? You are already through.- Of course.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Erm, well, as luck would have it, there's one on there that I do particularly know
0:14:23 > 0:14:26and that's because I'm a huge fan of The Jungle Book.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And the actor who voiced Baloo in The Jungle Book was Phil Harris.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Phil Harris, says Kevin. Luke was nodding at that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- Was that your answer?- Yeah, I think he was also the voice of Little John
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- in Robin Hood.- He was.- He was?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- In Robin Hood.- You are right to nod. I thought you were just nodding like I would nod
0:14:45 > 0:14:49if someone gave a good answer and I had no idea. Phil Harris, says Kevin.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52No red line, you're already through. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Still going down! Oh, look at that! Very well done, Kevin!
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - That is a pointless answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12It adds £250 to today's jackpot, it takes the total up to £8,500.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It scores you nothing, earns you considerable respect
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and leaves your total at nine. Very well done indeed, Kevin.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, well played, Kevin. Great introduction to the show.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Also well done Luke, cos he was Little John in Robin Hood, as well.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- Do either of you know which character he played in The Aristocats? - Was that Thomas O'Malley?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Yeah.- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I'm going to have to change round two just very... LAUGHTER
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Anyway, Luke.- Hello.- That was one of the answers you might have given.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46To be fair, I probably wouldn't have taken a punt on it,
0:15:46 > 0:15:51so I wouldn't want to take away all of Kevin's glory for getting the pointless answer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What do you do?- I'm a financial regulation consultant.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56What do you like doing when you're not doing that?
0:15:56 > 0:16:02I like playing sports, cooking, catching up with Pointless on the iPlayer.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03LAUGHTER
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Yeah.- You can get Pointless on the iPlayer now, can't you?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Download it whenever you want, watch it at your leisure.- Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Watch it on the train if you want to. You could watch it on a submarine
0:16:13 > 0:16:16if you've got it downloaded, should you so desire.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Not if you're driving the submarine. Not if you're the submarine driver.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I think you probably can because you'll have machines to beep.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- No, you've got to look out the window.- It'd be embarrassing if you had a prang with another submarine
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- because you were watching the head-to-head. - LAUGHTER
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Now, Luke.- Yes. - Luke, the board is all yours.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40We want the full names of these people whose surnames begin with H.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I think the actress who divorced Tom Cruise,
0:16:43 > 0:16:48continuing the Scientology theme, was Katie Holmes maybe.
0:16:48 > 0:16:54The Scottish philosopher I don't really know. Someone Hobbs, maybe? Thomas Hobbs?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And then the founder of Playboy magazine I'm fairly sure
0:16:57 > 0:16:59is Hugh Hefner.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Why are you shaking your... Are you just ashamed that Luke knows this answer?
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- Of course he would know that answer! - I think we've worked out you're good on cartoons and pornography, Luke.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- LAUGHTER And a little ropey on everything else.- Very concerning.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Very concerning. - What are you going to go for?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I think I'm going to go for the founder of Playboy magazine, Hugh Hefner.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Hugh Hefner, says Luke. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27No red line, you're already through.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- 45. Takes your total up to 51. - APPLAUSE
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Yeah, Hugh Hefner. He is 60 years older than his wife.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Each to their own. Each to their own.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Now, the first person to hold the title Director of the FBI,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54you weren't a million miles out. It's not Herbert Hoover, it's J Edgar Hoover.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Ohh.- Which I'm sure you knew.- Yes. - It's just one of those things that gets in your head and won't go away.
0:17:59 > 0:18:0212 points it would've scored you. Would've still knocked you out
0:18:02 > 0:18:04but would've been a very good answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08The actress who divorced Tom Cruise, you're right, Luke, Katie Holmes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Would've scored you 36 points so would've been a big scorer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14The actress who portrayed Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises is Anne Hathaway.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18And the Scottish philosopher is David Hume.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Well done if you said that. Would've scored two points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Best answer up here, Phil Harris, which everybody seemed to know, weirdly.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, there we are. Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31the pair heading home with the highest score is Lynne and Katy,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35one of our two returning pairs. I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye already.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Anyway, Lynne, Katy, it's been great having you on the show. Thanks for playing.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41APPLAUSE
0:18:41 > 0:18:44But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46APPLAUSE
0:18:49 > 0:18:51So, just three pairs remain.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Best of luck. Our category for round two is...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:19:10 > 0:19:15to name as many African countries with repeated vowels as they could.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Richard.- We're looking for any African country
0:19:18 > 0:19:24which has at least one repeated vowel in its name. Could be two As, two Os, two Es, two Is or two Us.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Any African country with at least one set of repeated vowels in its name.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33By country we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right. Very best of luck.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38OK. So, African countries with repeated vowels in their names.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Carolyn.- Yes. OK.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44A few come to mind.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Erm, I think I'm going to chance it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I think I'm going to be bold and say Guinea-Bissau.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Guinea-Bissau, says Carolyn.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02It's right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Very well done indeed, Carolyn! Guinea-Bissau is a pointless answer!
0:20:10 > 0:20:17- APPLAUSE - It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £8,750!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22What a show. Very well played, Carolyn.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Yeah, there's two Is and two As in Guinea-Bissau.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31And two Us, as well, now I think about it. LAUGHTER
0:20:31 > 0:20:37- Kevin.- Yes.- We're looking for African countries that have repeated vowels in their names.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- I'll go with the country Goa.- Goa.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Yes.- OK, Goa, says Kevin.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Goa.
0:20:51 > 0:20:58Bad luck, Kevin, I'm afraid Goa a wrong answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Yeah, not an African country, Kevin, I'm afraid. It's a state in India.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- But not a country in Africa. - OK, Mike.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12Yeah, erm, I can think of one or two, but I'll go for Togo, T-O-G-O.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Togo, says Mike. Let's see if Togo's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It is right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Three. Very well done, Mike. - APPLAUSE
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Three for Togo. - Terrific answer, Mike. Well played.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40It's a former German colony. Lome, the capital of Togo, has its own version of Oktoberfest.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- If you're ever in Togo.- I bet they have delicious sausages, as well.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47They do, they have German sausages, they drink German beer,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49but all on the coast of Africa.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52There we are. We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Zero the best score of that pass, Carolyn. Very well done to you.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Then up to three, where we find Mike and Alex.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Then, I'm sorry, it's a massive journey up to Kevin on 100 points.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Who knows what might happen in the next pass, Karen? It'll require a low score from you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Best of luck. We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19OK, we're looking for African countries that have repeated vowels in their names.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Now, Alex, looking pretty strong on three,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25considering our high scorers are on 100.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29So a score of 96 or less will get you into the head-to-head.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yeah, erm,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33there's a few that I could do that are quite safe,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37but go hard or go home is the motto to go by,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41so I think I'm going to go for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44OK, Alex, there is your red line. Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47How many people said the Democratic Republic of Congo?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's right.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Four! Well played, Alex. - APPLAUSE
0:23:00 > 0:23:02That takes you down to seven.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08I tell you, it's only on Pointless where saying Democratic Republic of the Congo
0:23:08 > 0:23:10would count as going hard or going home.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Er, yeah, it's got four Os, three Es and two Is, as well.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Used to be called Zaire, which wouldn't count.- Indeed.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Karen. We're looking for any African country with a repeat vowel in its name.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Botswana.- Botswana.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Is it right? How many people said it? No red line for you, you're the high scorers.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's right.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- 13 for Botswana. - APPLAUSE
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Takes your total up to 113.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Yeah, two As in Botswana. A person from Botswana is called a Motswana.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- If you meet someone from Botswana. - That's good to know.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- Luke.- Hello.- Great news. - What's that?- You're through.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Excellent!- You're through to the head-to-head.- Good.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04Courtesy, in part, to Carolyn's lovely low score and Karen and Kevin's high score.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08We're looking for African countries that have repeated vowels in their names.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Do you think you can match that pointless answer?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- I going to give it a go. - I think you might.- I think that's the spirit of the game.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I'm going to try for Equatorial Guinea.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Equatorial Guinea. So we've had Guinea-Bissau, now Equatorial Guinea.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27No red line for you, you're already through. Let's see how many people said Equatorial Guinea.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32It's right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Very well done! Another pointless answer! - APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47takes the total up to £9,000.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It scores you nothing. It leaves your total at nothing.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Very well done, Luke and Carolyn. - Terrific play. Well done.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57A double pointless is a rare thing indeed. Equatorial Guinea.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00No part of Equatorial Guinea is on the equator.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- That's my fact about Equatorial Guinea.- Wow.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07It's just lies, lies, lies with that lot, isn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well, most of it is above the equator
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and one tiny bit of it is below the equator, so it sort of straddles it,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- but none of it is actually on the equator.- Wow. - There you go.- There we are.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Let's take a look at some pointless answers. There's plenty here.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Some people are very good at geography so people will be shouting out some of these.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Djibouti would've been pointless. Well done if you said that. There's Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32We had those from Carolyn and Luke. Mauritius would've been pointless.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Sao Tome and Principe. The Seychelles was a pointless answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I'll give you a few of the low ones.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Burkina Faso would've scored you one.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Cape Verde and Sierra Leone would've scored you two.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50If you're wondering where Central African Republic was, it scored two points. Never pointless anymore.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Too many people have heard of it. - Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Also you'd have got three points for Burundi, the Comoros and Swaziland.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01South Sudan, Eritrea, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo scored four.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Let's take a look at the biggest answers that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Morocco with 31. Look at all those Os.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Ghana with 31, as well. Couple of As there.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15And Nigeria, two Is, 36 points.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Thanks very much indeed. Well, I'm afraid, at the end of our second round,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Karen and Kevin, you are our high scorers.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26We'll look forward to seeing you again next time.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29But in the meantime, thanks for playing. Karen and Kevin. Great contestants.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:35But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37APPLAUSE
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Congratulations, Mike and Alex, Carolyn and Luke,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47you are all one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- which currently stands at £9,000. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Well, to decide who's going to play for that money, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02You're now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Mike and Alex. A, well done, round one last time, here you are, head-to-head.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10B, well done, you're the lowest-scoring pair
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- against the pointless people here! - Amazing.- Carolyn and Luke,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18who gave us a double pointless in the second round and lovely low scoring in the first round.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22However, we did have quite a high score for Hugh Hefner.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- And frankly, Carolyn, I think he deserved that. - Yeah, that's what happens
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- when you say Hugh Hefner on national television.- Yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- You go tawdry, Luke, you score big. - Retribution is fast.- Yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So very well done. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38This is going to be an exciting head-to-head. Let's play it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40APPLAUSE
0:27:43 > 0:27:47OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Turner Prize nominees, Richard. - We're going to show you five pictures of artists
0:27:54 > 0:27:57who've been nominated for the Turner Prize. Can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01OK, let's reveal our Turner Prize nominees. Here they come.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24There we are, five Turner Prize nominees.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Mike and Alex, you've played best so far so you get to go first.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35THEY WHISPER
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Er, C, Tracey Emin. - C, Tracey Emin, say Mike and Alex.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Carolyn and Luke, do you think you can take us through the board?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Erm, not quite.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Well, have a crack at it. See how many of those names you can supply.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56OK. So, I think B is Damien Hirst.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59E, maybe Gilbert & Scott?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- No, Gilbert & George. - Gilbert & George.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05And A I think is Sam Taylor Wood.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- How sure are you on A?- Erm...
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Not that sure, so maybe we should go E.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- I think we should go for A.- OK, all right, we'll say A, Sam Taylor Wood.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Sam Taylor Wood you're going to say for A. So we have Tracey Emin versus Sam Taylor Wood.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25Mike and Alex said Tracey Emin. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Tracey Emin.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- 39. - APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:3639 for Tracey Emin.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Now, Carolyn and Luke have gone out on a bit of a limb
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and have said Sam Taylor Wood for A.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Not confident.- No. - Well, let's find out.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Is that right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Yes, it's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54And...
0:29:54 > 0:29:57..it also beats Tracey Emin.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- That's a great score. Two. - APPLAUSE
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Very well done, Carolyn and Luke.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05After one question, you are up one-nil.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- Carolyn and Luke's scores have been unbelievably low.- Haven't they?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Hugh Hefner aside.- Yeah. - Yeah, Sam Taylor Wood.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14She also directed the film Nowhere Boy.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- B.- Damien Hirst.- Damien Hirst, yes.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21He would've scored you 13 points.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25D is the best answer on the board, it's a pointless answer.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Someone else who's gone on to make a number of films, Steve McQueen.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Very well done if you said that.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34And E is Gilbert & George.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38You're absolutely right. And that would've scored you 11 points.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Very well done to anyone who got all of those.- Thank you.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44OK, here comes your second question. Mike and Alex,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48you'll get to answer this one second but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50It concerns...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58We're going to show you five attractions now that you'd commonly find at a funfair
0:30:58 > 0:31:02but we've taken out alternate letters. Can you fill those in and give us the most obscure?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five funfair attractions
0:31:05 > 0:31:08with parts missing, and here they are.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- I'll read those again without the blanks.- Can I scream if I want you to go faster?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- LAUGHTER - Would you?
0:31:45 > 0:31:50There we go. Now then, Carolyn and Luke, you get to go first this time.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53THEY WHISPER
0:31:53 > 0:31:59- What do you think? - It's tough to know which is going to be the lowest.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yeah. What are your thoughts?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I think you should go with your instinct on this one.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Agh!- That means I don't know.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- Passing the buck.- Yep.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12OK. I think...
0:32:12 > 0:32:18..we will go for... the second one down,
0:32:18 > 0:32:23which I think... is the coconut shy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Coconut shy, say Carolyn and Luke.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Now then, Mike and Alex, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Er, the top one's waltzer.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- The third one... - Is the hall of mirrors.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41Then you've got Ferris wheel and ghost train.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Erm, I think we'll go for the third one
0:32:44 > 0:32:46on hall of mirrors.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Hall of mirrors. OK, Mike and Alex say hall of mirrors.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53So we have coconut shy versus hall of mirrors. Carolyn and Luke said coconut shy.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- 13! - APPLAUSE
0:33:08 > 0:33:14Mike and Alex have gone for hall of mirrors. Let's see how many people said hall of mirrors.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Is it going to beat 13?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Ohh! 18...- Unlucky. - APPLAUSE
0:33:25 > 0:33:28..for hall of mirrors.
0:33:28 > 0:33:34Which means, after two questions, Carolyn and Luke, you are through to the final two-nil. Well done.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Best two answers on the board. There's nothing you could've done.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Carolyn and Luke, best answer up there. The waltzer at the top would've scored you 66.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44The Ferris wheel would've scored you 48.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48And the ghost train would've scored you 39.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54So at the end of our head-to-head, I'm afraid the pair leaving us is Mike and Alex.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58You've done so well! And then you came up against Carolyn and Luke
0:33:58 > 0:34:02in the head-to-head. Two perfectly good answers from you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Hall of mirrors, coconut shy, I wouldn't have known how to call that one.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'm really sorry. It was very close.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11But you've acquitted yourselves well.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Thanks so much for playing, it's been great having you here.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- APPLAUSE - Good luck.- Good luck.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21But for Carolyn and Luke, it's now time for our pointless final.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23APPLAUSE
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Congratulations, Carolyn and Luke, you've fought off all the competition
0:34:30 > 0:34:32and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:40 > 0:34:45and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £9,000.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:52£500 of that is entirely down to you,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55so you've played so well, with the single exception of Hugh Hefner.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- LAUGHTER - It's looking pretty good for you.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00What do you hope is going to come up?
0:35:00 > 0:35:06I think anything to do with US geography, US politics,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- US film, US culture. - LAUGHTER
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Anything American.- OK. Very good.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16As always, the first thing you have to do is choose a category and here are your four choices.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22LAUGHTER
0:35:22 > 0:35:26What about that? Football Leagues, I'm guessing.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28LAUGHTER
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Well, how are your British sitcoms?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Pretty poor. - HE LAUGHS
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Erm...- It's going to have to be American Politics. - I think American Politics.- OK.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41You're going to go for American Politics. Richard.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44They genuinely come up randomly and a few times before
0:35:44 > 0:35:47we've had unusual coincidences. This is one of them.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Very best of luck. We're going to give you three options within this category.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55We need you to give us the name of any children of any US president who's been in office since 1990,
0:35:55 > 0:35:59so any of the US presidents since 1990, any child they've ever had.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Any US state with ten or more electoral college votes in 2012.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09Or any Republicans who've lost a presidential election since 1900.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11So there are your three options.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Now, as always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers
0:36:15 > 0:36:20and all you need to win that jackpot of £9,000 is just for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Remember, the answers you provide can come from any of these categories.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27It can be three from the same category or two from one, one from another,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30any of these three categories.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Are you ready?- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- OK, I think...- I think we should go with children of US presidents.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Yeah.- Jenna Bush.- Yeah.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- I think Barbara Bush would be high cos that was her grandmother's name. - OK.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58US states with ten or more electoral college votes,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Massachusetts definitely has more than ten.- OK, fine.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03What about more obscure states?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Indiana would probably be more than ten.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- What about smaller, Eastern Seaboard...- I don't know what the cut-off is.- OK.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14What about Republicans?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Shall we just ignore that one? - Maybe.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21All right, so I think we should do one child and two states.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- OK.- So Jenna Bush.- Indiana.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26And Massachusetts? Is that obscure enough?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- But people know Massachusetts. - OK. Something like South Dakota?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33No, cos that won't be enough. Erm...
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Let's go...- Ten seconds left. - Kentucky?- Kentucky?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42OK, looks like you have your three answers.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Your time is up.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46There we are. What answers are you going to give me?
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- OK, so we're going to do one for children of US presidents.- OK.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- And which answer's that?- Jenna Bush. - Jenna Bush.- Yep.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00- OK.- And then we weren't sure about Republicans who have lost elections,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- so I think we'll go for two US states.- Mm-hm.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- One of them is Kentucky.- Kentucky. - And the other is Indiana.- Indiana.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Now, of those three answers, which is your best crack at a pointless?
0:38:11 > 0:38:17- I think the best crack would probably be... Indiana.- OK. Yep.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22OK. So Indiana we put last. And then which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Kentucky?- Yeah.- So Kentucky, Jenna Bush, Indiana.- Sure.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39Let's just say one of these were to win the jackpot for you,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43what would you do with your winnings, Carolyn?
0:38:43 > 0:38:49Well, I did sort of promise that I'd have a big party on the top of London Bridge
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and invite all of my American friends over
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and have a big party. Of course, you guys would be invited.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Stars of the show.- That's amazing. - On top of London Bridge?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Yeah. Oh, sorry, Tower Bridge. - Oh, that's better.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Sorry. Obviously I'm still not a native.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Yeah, Tower Bridge. We'd love to come.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Yeah, I'd love to. I hope you win. - Thanks.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Make it happen.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14LAUGHTER
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- And Luke?- I think I'd probably start negotiating
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- for at least some small portion of the money. - LAUGHTER
0:39:22 > 0:39:27And then if I got some of the money, I'd probably buy a fancy new bike.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Good stuff. OK, well, three perfectly plausible answers up there on the board.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36Your first answer was Kentucky. This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41First it has to be correct, and if it is, it then has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45So let's find out. Does Kentucky have ten or more electoral college votes?
0:39:49 > 0:39:55Ooh, bad luck. An incorrect answer there with Kentucky.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Your second answer
0:39:58 > 0:40:01was Jenna Bush, daughter of a US president since 1990.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Again, this has to be correct then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:12So for £9,000, let's find out, is Jenna Bush a daughter of a US president since 1990?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16It's right. That's more like it.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Now, Kentucky was an incorrect answer, but your second answer
0:40:19 > 0:40:22is bang on the money. Taking us down through the 20s,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24down through the teens, into single figures.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27If this goes down to zero, you leave... Ohh!
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- Two for Jenna Bush! - APPLAUSE
0:40:34 > 0:40:39OK, so also not a pointless answer. A cracking score,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42but we're only interested in pointless answers.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46So, your final answer, everything is riding on Indiana.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49This was the answer you thought was probably your best shot at a pointless.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Are you sure it's correct? - No. No, I'm not.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56So for £9,000, let's find out,
0:40:56 > 0:41:01does Indiana have ten or more electoral college votes?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It's right. It's right.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Now then, Kentucky was incorrect.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Jenna Bush took us all the way down to two.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Now, if Indiana can take you all the way down to zero, and it's going down...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Yes! You've done it! Brilliant! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Fantastic! Very, very good work indeed!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Wow! Wow! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Indiana was a pointless answer, which means you leave here
0:41:36 > 0:41:38with our jackpot of £9,000.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- Very, very well done indeed. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Wow. What about that, Richard?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53That turned out very nicely, didn't it? But fair play for having the guts to go for it, as well,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57because you were putting a lot of pressure on yourself there. It was all on you.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Let's look at the children of the US presidents first.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06These are all George Bush Senior's children, Dorothy, Marvin and Neil.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Jenna Bush and Barbara Bush were the twins,
0:42:09 > 0:42:13first ever twins to be born to a president. Barbara would've scored you one point.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the US states.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19There's four answers, so you got one of them, Indiana, which had 11 electoral college votes.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee would all have won you the money, as well.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Well done if you said those.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And Republicans who've lost a presidential election.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Charles Hughes. Gerald Ford would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Wendell Willkie. And William Taft. Well done if you got any of those.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38I know it really fell for you nicely, that category,
0:42:38 > 0:42:43but you've been brilliant all the way through, you've proved yourself in every round, so it's well deserved.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Thanks very much. Let me echo that, as well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Very, very well done. Fantastic play the whole way through.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Thanks once again to our winning players, Carolyn and Luke,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55who take away today's jackpot of £9,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
