0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:40- Couple number one. - Hi. I'm Stewart. This is Stephen. We're both from Glasgow.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Tom. This is my older sister, Gemma.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47We're originally from Southampton but now living in London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- Couple number three.- My name's Jon. This is my wife, Lou. We're from Harrogate in North Yorkshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Karen.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58This is my friend, Kevin. We quiz together in the West Midlands.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14He's so clever he can do the Times crossword in ten minutes - without even using a pen!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Hi, everyone. Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27- Afternoon.- Good afternoon. - What a show we had last time!- Wow! - It was a cracker.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The only people who witnessed it were Kevin and Karen, our returners.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Kevin got a pointless answer and then got 100 points.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37That is some way to announce yourself to Pointless!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It'll be interesting to see how it goes for Kevin and Karen.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- But then, Luke and Carolyn. - Yeah! What about that?!
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- Carolyn from Boston. They got a category on American politics. - Very lucky.- Absolutely rinsed it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Took home £9,000. - I was impressed. Luke seemed to be advising her on the answers.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00They were good, actually. They got pointless answers. They won the head-to-head two-nil.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- They cleaned up. - Very good indeed. What sort of show have we got today, Richard?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- I would say "mediocre".- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- I'm going to say seven out of ten. - I'd take seven.- I lie.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's a good one. The first round is nice.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21- Yeah?- You know, every now and again a pair comes along, you think, "They're going to be good"?- Yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I think Stewart and Stephen, don't you? They've got that look.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- THEY think so, certainly. - LAUGHTER
0:02:27 > 0:02:29No, they do have that look.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Now, all our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Each time, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47As you'll have gathered, Carolyn and Luke won the jackpot last time.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Who said, "Nyuh!"? - LAUGHTER
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Was that you, Lou?- Yeah. - Right, off you go.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57LAUGHTER
0:02:57 > 0:03:00If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Our first category today is...
0:03:18 > 0:03:22..Pop songs. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Do you want to go?- Yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And the question concerns...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39..UK Number One singles with one-word titles. Richard.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven singles and the year in which they were Number One.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Tell us the artist that had a Number One with them, please.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51There's going to be 14 artists to guess. Good luck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57Thanks very much indeed. We're looking for the artist or groups who had hits with these Number Ones.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Our first board reads like this...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13..I'll read those one final time...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Stephen, Stewart, you drew lots and today you're going to go first.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Stephen, welcome to the show.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Hello.- Good to have you here. Richard has high hopes for you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Let's hope we live up to them. - Are these well placed?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Maybe, maybe. We'll see. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- What do you do, Stephen? - I am a support assistant for adults with learning difficulties.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I also am training to become a counsellor.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Right you are. What do you do in your spare time?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I love to follow football.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Play, watch - all football.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Cinema. I've got a cinema card.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02I'm not giving away strong points at all. But, yeah...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- So how are you on music, Stephen? - It's not my strongest point.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08But I know a couple.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11One I know much more than the other.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I'm just going to stick with it and stay safe.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Grenade and Bruno Mars, please. - Bruno Mars for Grenade says Stephen.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Bruno Mars.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Not a bad score at all, Stephen. 16 for Bruno Mars.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Good start, Stephen. He'd catch a grenade for the woman he loved.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I don't think he's boyfriend material.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- He's not after he's done that. - LAUGHTER
0:05:49 > 0:05:53He also says he'd put his hand on a blade and jump in front of a train!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Phew. - LAUGHTER
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Come on, Bruno! - None of this should be called upon.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- At least on a first date! - LAUGHTER
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Gemma, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- What do you do, Gemma? - I work as an account manager in an advertising and design agency.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Any particular sphere of advertising you specialise in?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17It's recruitment marketing, more specifically graduate recruitment.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23We get to go out on campus and do lots of on-campus activities and games.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- It's really good fun.- That does sound fun. What are your hobbies?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I really enjoy shopping. I think, like a lot of girls.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36And going to visit friends. Lots of my friends are all over the country.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40So weekends away to visit them, have drinks and catch up.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Good stuff. Now, here we are, one-word Number One singles.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- How do you feel about this board? - I knew three.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50One of them's gone.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think the two that are left are going to be quite high-scoring.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I'm hoping Tom can save us in the next round.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'm going to go with...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Vogue, Madonna. - Vogue, Madonna, says Gemma.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- APPLAUSE - Wow! 53!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- 53 for Madonna. - That's a big score, isn't it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Four weeks at Number One. 53 points, Gemma.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Lou.- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Lou?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- I paint murals for children. - Oh, very nice!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Do you take commissions?- Yeah. - Do people say what they want?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Mainly themes. People say a princess themed room or jungle themed room.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45I also do some work in play centres and schools, too.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49What's the weirdest mural you've done, Lou?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I haven't actually painted a weird mural.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56However, I was requested to paint a naked woman on a motorbike once.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Which I didn't take up, that commission, for various reasons.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- She must have been freezing! - LAUGHTER
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- It was a picture I had to copy. - There's a care centre I'd like to visit!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10LAUGHTER
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- Lou, what do you like doing in your spare time? That's a bit of a pastime as well.- It is.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We have two young children.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Most of their hobbies take up a lot of my time ferrying them around different places.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I do a bit of voluntary work as well.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I help out at our daughter's school
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- and raise some money for them on the committee.- Good stuff. Now...
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We've got a nice low score of 16, quite a high score of 53.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- How do you find this board? - A couple I knew have gone.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I know another one, but I think it's going to be high-scoring.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I might take a bit of a punt on something else.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54So I'm going to go... I can see Jon looking!
0:08:54 > 0:08:59I'm going to go with Young, with Tulisa?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Young, Tulisa.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Tulisa for Young.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Wow! Well done, Lou. Lowest score so far.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25That's well worth the risk, Lou. Her debut single and her only Number One to date.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- And, Karen?- Hello.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Our only returning pair.- We are.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Great to have you back amongst us. Remind us what you do, Karen.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- I work for an educational IT company.- And remind us what happened last time.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- We got to round two last time. - That's right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Kevin shone in round one.- He got a pointless answer in round one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Let's dwell on that for now. - LAUGHTER
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Karen, you're the last person to have this board.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56It is your privilege to take us through and fill in all the blanks.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I can't quite because I don't know Lyla.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Vincent is Don McLean.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Hello is Lionel Richie.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12And I think I'm going to go for Blockbuster which is the Sweet.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15The Sweet, says Karen. Lou, was that nearly one of yours?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20I knew it was a glam rock band but I couldn't remember which one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25The Sweet, let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said the Sweet.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's right!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Ten's our lowest score so far.
0:10:32 > 0:10:3425 for the Sweet.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Five weeks at Number One for Sweet with Blockbuster. Well played.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You're right about Vincent. It's Don McLean.
0:10:48 > 0:10:5115 points. It would have been a better answer, surprisingly.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Hello WAS Lionel Richie. That's a big scorer, though. 38.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Do you remember Lyla?- No. - It was a Number One hit for Oasis.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Oh.- And would have scored six points.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Lyla the best answer up there. Well done if you said that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Ten, Lou. Lovely low score.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13That sets you and Jon up pretty well. Then up to 16.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Where we find Stephen and Stew.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Up to 25, where we find Karen and Kevin.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Then up to 53, Gemma and Tom.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Tom, Gemma said she was going to leave you a bit of work to do.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27She's left you a hell of a lot to do but I think you're up to it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- I do, too.- I really do. - I'm going to give it my best shot.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42We're going to put seven more one-word singles on the board, and here they are...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56..I'll read those one last time...
0:12:06 > 0:12:10We are looking for the artist who released these Number One singles.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Kevin, we need a nice low score from you
0:12:14 > 0:12:16to make sure you get through to the next round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Remind us what you do, Kevin.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Yes, I run my own company supplying engineering supplies to manufacturing companies.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Very good, and in your spare time you're a quizzer?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Yes, I spend a lot of time quizzing and also play golf.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36I spend as much time as I can with my two grandsons as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- The Smooth Operators.- That's it, the name of our quiz team. - RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- What?- I thought that was the name he gave to his grandsons.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- LAUGHTER - One's called Alexander.- Ah! Is he? - Yes, indeed.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53That's an even better name than Smooth Operators.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- It'd be brilliant to give your grandsons a name collectively, like a band.- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01"I'm going to look after the Smooth Operators this weekend."
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Not a bad idea at all. - LAUGHTER
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Kevin?- Right, well, looking at the board, um...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'm a big fan of music,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13but normally before 1990.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15There are a few that I do know.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I'm going for one from 1998, Goodbye.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I believe that's the Spice Girls.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Goodbye, the Spice Girls. Let's see if that's right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29You're on 25. The high-scorers on 53 are Gemma and Tom.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3327 or less sees you comfortably into the next round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38There's your red line. Get below that, you are in round two.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41It's right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47You've done it, Kevin.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Wow! You really have done it! Four!
0:13:49 > 0:13:54That's a great answer. Lovely low score. 29 is your total.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Well done, Kevin. Back on track.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The first single not to feature Geri's vocals.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Jon, welcome.- Hello. - What do you do, Jon?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I'm a business development manager for a large communications company.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- What are your hobbies?- I play five-a-side football every week.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I love music, going to concerts.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I'm also a season ticket holder with the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- What's the best gig you've been to in the last few years?- Oh!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22I'm a big fan of the Boss, classic rock, Bruce Springsteen.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Bruce last year. We're seeing him again this year.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Wow! He's your boss? That is amazing.- Jon's in the E Street Band!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- LAUGHTER - Did you not know that?- I can dream.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Good stuff. Now, Jon, there's a board full of...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Well, not quite full. Mostly full of unanswered songs.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44What are you going to go for? You're on ten, by the way.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48If you can score 42 or less, you are assured of a place in round two.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50OK, I think I know most of them.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's just picking a low one.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I'll plump for Fame from 1982.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Irene Cara.- Irene Cara?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Irene Cara. Here's your red line. Get below that and you're through.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03How many people said Irene Cara?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10You've done it!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Very well done.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Our lowest total so far.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Good answer, Jon. On the soundtrack of the movie and the TV show.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Flashdance - What A Feeling was her other big hit.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Now then, Tom.- Hello.- Now.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Yes. Gemma is relying on you here. - She is.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- I think she's kind of expecting you to get a minus score.- Yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- Hasn't yet happened. So, under the bottom of the column is what we're after.- OK.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- What do you do, Tom?- I'm a trainer for a foreign exchange company.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Very good. And what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:15:49 > 0:15:55In my spare time, I watch films, listen to music, see my friends.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58The regular, standard things. I'm a big film fan.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- That takes up a lot of my time.- OK. Now, what are you going to go for?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I think I'm going to go for...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10..Stan, 2000, and say Eminem.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Eminem for Stan. Well, you're the high-scorer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18No red line for you. You just have to hope this goes down a long way.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Best of luck. Eminem, is it right? How many people said it?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It is right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- APPLAUSE - 29 takes your total up to 82, Tom.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's another big score. All sorts of controversy about Stan, its lyrics.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Giles Foden, the novelist who wrote Last King Of Scotland,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46compared it to the Victorian poet Robert Browning.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50As in, "This is no way as good as Robert Browning"?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- LAUGHTER - No, he did not.- I'm guessing not.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Stew.- Hi there.- Stew.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We come to you last.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You have a relatively straightforward task, actually.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06You have to score 65 or less to see your way into the next round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12- Stew, what do you do?- I'm currently a legal research assistant at Strathclyde University...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Is that as fun as it sounds(?)- No. It's mostly admin work.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21I'm starting as a trainee solicitor with the Procurator Fiscal Service in August.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25And what do you like doing when you're not doing your legal stuff?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- I love football, like Stephen does. - Who do you follow?- Glasgow Rangers.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Or who Rangers used to be. Rangers Newco, I think they're called now.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39You're the last person to have this board. Why not talk us through it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I only know for sure one that's left.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I've no idea who Heart's by.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I know Help! is by the Beatles.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I've got Mercy going round my head but I can't think who the artist is.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And I'm not going to sing it!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'll have to go for Help! by the Beatles.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Which I think is going to be a high score.- I tell you what.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04If you sing a bit of Mercy, we might consider...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- LAUGHTER - ..commuting your score.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09OK.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I might even have the wrong song but I think it goes...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15# I'm begging you for mercy # RICHARD TAPS ALONG
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Ah, that is good.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- Stephen could help.- For that, I'm prepared to take one off your total.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26LAUGHTER OK. Let's hope it helps.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30All right, you want to be scoring 65 or less.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33The high-scorers, obviously, are Gemma and Tom.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36This is what that looks like. Here comes your red line.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Let's see if you can get below that with the Beatles.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Ooh, no! Bad luck!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49That scores you 70.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53In your heart of hearts, you know it actually scores you 69.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It takes your total up to 86.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- In your heart of hearts, you know that's 85.- Ah!
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I told you Stewart and Stephen would do well, didn't I? I just knew it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Mercy, you got the right song and it's by...
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- Duffy.- Ah.- And it would have seen you very safely through. 15 points.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Cars, you'll know.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Gary Newman.- Yeah. Would have scored you 20 points.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The top one is a pointless answer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It was a Number One hit for three weeks.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- One of their many Number One hits. - Pet Shop Boys?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It WAS the Pet Shop Boys. Very well done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- APPLAUSE - Well done if you got that at home.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Thank you very much, Richard.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34At the end of our first round, I'm sorry to say,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Stew and Stephen, much touted - the favourites -
0:19:37 > 0:19:41to go through to the final in this show, but not today.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- We have to say goodbye to you. Far too soon.- Thank you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- It's not a terrible score.- No.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50The good news is, we'll see you again next time.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Stew and Stephen, thanks for playing.- Thank you very much.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Only three pairs remain, and there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We'll say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two is...
0:20:16 > 0:20:23..Formula 1. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30And the question concerns...
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- ..Formula 1 World Champions. Richard.- Xander's going to show you a list of nationalities.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41We're looking for the name of any driver of any of those nationalities to have ever won
0:20:41 > 0:20:44the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Anyone who's won that Drivers' Championship from 1950 to 2012
0:20:47 > 0:20:50from one of the following nationalities. Good luck.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Yes, we're going to put six nationalities up on the board.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58They're going to remain up for the whole round - up the line and down again.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Name any Formula 1 champion of one of those six nationalities, and here are those nationalities...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11..I'll read those one last time...
0:21:12 > 0:21:15..Anybody of any one of these nationalities
0:21:15 > 0:21:17who's won a Formula 1 Drivers' Championship.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Tom, do you follow sport closely?
0:21:20 > 0:21:25I follow some sports. Tennis is definitely my number one sport.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28But I do watch Formula 1.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I've been known to get up at four o'clock in the morning to watch the Australian Grand Prix.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Ooh, this is good. So this is your time to shine, Tom.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- We were looking for a lovely low score in the last round. - It's recent champions.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Which I'm a bit worried will be high answers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I don't know too much going back.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm going for Finnish and I'm going to say Mika Hakkinen.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Mika Hakkinen says Tom. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It is right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06APPLAUSE
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Not bad, Tom.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Well played, Tom. He won back-to-back world titles in 1998 and 1999.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Lou.- Yes.- Now, Lou, there was some heavy sighing from you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24There was. I think it's the most boring thing ever.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26LAUGHTER
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Formula 1?- Yeah.- People driving really fast?- Round and round. Yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Yeah. Right.- So...
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Well, I was going to say Mika Hakkinen, actually.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40That was my punt for Finnish. I'm going to have to play it safe.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- I hope. And say Ayrton Senna. - Ayrton Senna.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Ayrton Senna, says Lou. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Ayrton Senna.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Well, it's right. 23 is our only score...
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- APPLAUSE - 44 for Ayrton Senna.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Won three world titles. Considered by many to be the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Karen.- Hello.- Formula 1.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Yeah.- Is this a topic you're happy with?- Yup.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'm going to say...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Alan Jones.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Alan Jones?- Yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Kevin, tell me, when you do that...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- LAUGHTER - ..is that you thinking?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Or is that you weeping?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'm thinking that she's correct.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- But I'm thinking that's the one I was going to say.- Sorry, Kev.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Alan Jones, says Karen. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Alan Jones.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50It's right. 23 is our low score at the moment.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Alan Jones takes us way past that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Very well done, Karen. That's a great answer!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:03The Australian Alan Jones. Good answer. Won in 1980.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06First person to win with the Williams team.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Karen! Alan Jones! A great answer!
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Karen and Kevin looking set fair, I'd say, for the head-to-head.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Up to 23, Tom and Gemma. Probably likewise.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Unless, Jon, you can do something clever with your 44.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27We need a low score from you in this next pass. Best of luck.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Kevin, we're looking for any man of any these nationalities
0:24:36 > 0:24:40who has ever won the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Karen did very well.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- She did very well.- Is this a good area for you?- Not really.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49With Karen scoring such a low score,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I'm going to try and play it a little bit safe.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I'm going for a British one, Mr James Hunt.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57James Hunt says Kevin.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Now, 44 is the high score.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05If you can score 39 or less, Kevin, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08There is your red line. Can you get below it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11It's right.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yup! You've done it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20APPLAUSE
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Lovely low total of 11. Brilliant performance from the last podium.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30A low score for James Hunt! He won the world title in 1976. He liked to party.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32He had a testing session in 1977.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- He pulled his car over to the side of the track and went to sleep. - LAUGHTER
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jon.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Jon, you're the high-scorers by a distance.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49But you have to take a look at Gemma.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55You have to deduce whether or not that is the face of an F1 fanatic!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57LAUGHTER
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It could be, but at the very least,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04it requires from you a low score, IF you are to survive.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I can't take anything for granted so I'm going to have to take a risk.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I can think of quite a few.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I'm sure there was an Italian driver in the '50s,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Alberto Ascari?- Ooh.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Alberto Ascari. Lou is terrified.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- LAUGHTER - Alberto Ascari. No red line for you.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26You just have to hope this is correct and goes a long way down.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Alberto Ascari, is that right? How many people said it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:32It is right!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35This is a good answer, Jon.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well done, indeed! That's fantastic!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Two points for Alberto Ascari.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Takes your total up to 46.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49A terrific answer, Jon. It's all you could have done.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53He won the world title in '52 and '53. That's going back some!
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Now, Gemma. Gemma, we have a game on our hands here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- You have to score 22 or less to stay in the game.- OK.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- How is your F1?- Awful.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07SIGHS
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- I'm just going to go with Nigel Mansell, I think.- OK.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Nigel Mansell. You want to score 22 or less. That's what that looks like.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Get below that red line with Nigel Mansell you are in the head-to-head.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Well, he's right.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Ooh, no!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- You needed 22. - GEMMA:- Oh, no!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Good effort, Gemma.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- I'm afraid JUST not quite enough. - It's only fair after that happened to us.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- You're the high-scorers by two points.- He won it in '92.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48As you say, exactly the same thing happened to you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It's tough luck, cos it's a perfectly good answer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Any other names were in your head? - I was thinking Damon Hill.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Maybe Graham Hill, but...
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Damon Hill would have scored you 38, so he wouldn't have helped you.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Graham Hill would have scored you 16 points.- Ooh!- Ah!
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Would have seen you safely through. It would have been a brave one to go for.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12It bodes well for the next show, I suspect.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16There's only one pointless answer out of these nationalities and he's a Brit.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20And it is Mike Hawthorn. Well done if you said that...
0:28:23 > 0:28:26..Keke Rosberg would have scored two, the Finn.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Kimi Raikkonen would have scored nine.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32John Surtees would have scored two. Alan Jones we've had on four.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Let's look at the biggest answers that most of our 100 people said...
0:28:46 > 0:28:49..Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54So, Gemma and Tom, I'm afraid that means you will be leaving us.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- It's not a massive score, 48, but I'm afraid you are the highest by only two points.- It was close.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03And as Richard said, this bodes very well for the next time we see you.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09- I hope so.- Meantime, we say goodbye and we look forward to the next show. Gemma and Tom.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10BOTH: Thank you.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12APPLAUSE
0:29:12 > 0:29:15For the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Congratulations, Kevin and Karen, Jon and Lou,
0:29:23 > 0:29:28you're one step closer to the chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £1,000.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34We have to decide who's going through to the final and to do that, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36The difference is, you're now allowed to confer.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that £1,000 jackpot.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Best of luck to both pairs. We're going to play the head-to-head.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46APPLAUSE
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:55 > 0:29:59..Lou, I haven't yet read a board out without you going, "Nyuh!"
0:29:59 > 0:30:01LAUGHTER
0:30:01 > 0:30:05You were furious at the beginning about the money.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09I could read anything out there. I could say Alphabetti Spaghetti
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- and you'd go, "Nyuh!" - LAUGHTER
0:30:12 > 0:30:18- Richard.- We're going to show you five visual clues to surnames of Presidents of the United States.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Can you give us the most obscure of these, please?
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Let's reveal our five Presidents. Here they are, we have got...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43..Five visual clues
0:30:43 > 0:30:45to Presidents.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Kevin and Karen, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52THEY WHISPER
0:30:55 > 0:30:58There's three that we do know.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Karen THINKS she knows E, but we're going for one that we do.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07We're going to go for C, and that's Truman.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Truman say Kevin and Karen.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Jon and Lou, can you talk us through the board?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We think we know A, C and D.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22We know who that is in B, but can't think of a President called Arthur.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24That's Arthur Christmas.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Based on the others being surnames like Hoover and Truman,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- we might gamble...- And Garfield.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36We might gamble there was one called Arthur.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- Shall we have a punt for that?- Yeah. - Let's hope there was a President called Arthur.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Either that or Christmas.- Yeah. Less likely.- You're going for Arthur.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49We have Truman and we have Arthur. Kevin and Karen said Truman.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Let's see if that's right and how many people said Truman.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55It is right.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Ooh, very well done. Seven for Truman.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Now, Jon and Lou have taken a bit of a punt. They've gone out on a limb.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Arthur, they are saying.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17You've no idea if there was a US President Arthur. Let's find out.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20It's right!
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Seven is what Truman scored.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Arthur smashes past that!
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Very well done, indeed.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Good reasoning, Jon and Lou. It's earned you that question.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Well done. It's Chester A Arthur. 1881 to '85, he was President.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Well done on recognising the film.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Chester A Arthur is the best up there. Nothing you could have done.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51A is James Garfield. Would have scored you 41.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54A big score for Herbert Hoover.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58He would have scored you 87. Never been so popular, Hoover.
0:32:58 > 0:33:04E, if you recognise the character, you'll know it's Cleveland,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08for Grover Cleveland, and that would have scored 12 points.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11The best two answers you gave us, there.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Here comes your second question.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19Kevin and Karen, you have to win this to stay in the game. You don't answer it first, I'm afraid.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21It concerns...
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- ..Peanuts characters, Richard. - We're getting very cartoony.
0:33:26 > 0:33:32We're going to give you five clues to the names of characters from Charles Schulz's Peanuts cartoons.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Can you name the most obscure? - Let's reveal our five clues.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38We have got...
0:33:50 > 0:33:52..I'll read those one last time...
0:34:05 > 0:34:08..Five clues to characters from Peanuts.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Jon and Lou, you go first.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12WHISPERING
0:34:14 > 0:34:19We think we know some names, we're just trying to match them in.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21We're going to take a bit of a punt.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24"Usually carried a blanket", we're going to say Linus.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Linus usually carried a blanket, say Jon and Lou.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- Kevin and Karen, talk us through the rest of the board.- Wish we could.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- You need to win this point. - But we really don't know.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41- So we're going to go with Snoopy. - For the beagle.- For the beagle.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- OK.- Cos we don't know the others!
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Linus versus Snoopy. John and Lou said Linus.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Let's see if that's right and how many people said Linus.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53It's right.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:08Kevin and Karen said Snoopy for the beagle whose alter-egos include Joe Cool. Snoopy.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12It's right.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15But it needs to beat 18. Is it going to beat 18?
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- 28, I'm afraid. No, it's not. - APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Bad luck, Kevin and Karen, but well done, Jon and Lou.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25After only two questions, you're through to the final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- Well played, Jon and Lou. Kevin and Karen, no idea on that top one?- No.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34That's Charlie Brown and it would have got you through as well.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Amazingly. I think the description confused people.- Yeah.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- The mini musical genius?- Schroeder?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Schroeder, yeah. That's the best answer there.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- And constantly surrounded by a cloud of dust?- Pigpen.- Yeah.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51He would have scored you five. Very well done if you got all those.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Thanks very much. So, the pair who'll be leaving us at the end of the head-to-head, Kevin and Karen.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59That's against the grain of play.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03You played so well throughout today's show.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I'm afraid you've come up against two subjects that...
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Actually, no. You did brilliantly. Truman was a great answer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- But Peanuts didn't play to your strengths, did it?- No.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16And Jon and Lou were all over that with Linus.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19So I'm afraid this time, it really is goodbye.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- It's been a real pleasure having you on the show - Kevin and Karen. - APPLAUSE
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But for Jon and Lou, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Congratulations, Jon and Lou, you've seen off all the competition
0:36:36 > 0:36:38and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, and at the end of today's show it stands at £1,000.
0:36:49 > 0:36:55- Lou, considering you've had all these boards that you haven't liked, you've done very well.- Very well.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- You have.- Yeah. Sneaked through.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- You've snuck through! - JON LAUGHS
0:37:00 > 0:37:04As always, the first thing you have to do is choose a category.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07You have a choice of four. They are...
0:37:14 > 0:37:17..Oh, God! Oooh!
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- They're not good. - Oh, they're horrendous.- Really bad!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- We haven't even been to Madrid. - No, haven't been to Madrid.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Didn't like Shakespeare at school.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Not into American football. - You were at SCHOOL with Shakespeare?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33LAUGHTER
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- What could Natural Sciences be? - I can't think what Natural Sciences would be.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe we take a punt.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Cos we don't know...- It's so obscure it could be anything.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- True.- I think we'd have more chance at Natural Sciences than anything.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- And if we don't get it, we've got a trophy.- We have.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57Natural Sciences it is. That's what you're going to go for. Richard.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02It's worth remembering with these categories, because you've got three options,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05if you want music or film it's not going to come up as music or film.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10The Madrid one might have had a very easy sport or film category within it.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Let's look at your three categories for Natural Sciences.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Can you give us...
0:38:40 > 0:38:43..Good luck at home and in the studio.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45You've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49To win that jackpot of £1,000, just one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53The answers that you provide can come from any of these categories.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57It could be two from one or three from one or one from each.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59As long as they are from...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06..you should be fine.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Are you ready?- Yeah.- We are. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Your time starts now.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Let's do the elements. - Focus on elements.- Go on, then.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Xenon. Neon.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Argon. Boron.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Mercury. Manganese?- Manganese.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27A lot of them end in "ium". There's hassium.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- What about a scientist with an SI unit?- I can only think of Faraday.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34I don't know books.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Was Celsius a scientist? - Could have been.- Who knows?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Why don't we do the elements?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- Which ones? We're halfway through. - Xenon, maybe?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Manganese?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Xenon. Manganese. And...?
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Neon. Argon. Boron. They're quite common.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Xenon, neon maybe and...?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- Manganese.- And manganese.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- OK.- OK.- Yeah, that's it. - OK? We're going to stop the clock.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05You have your three answers. Very well done, you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- I need to know those three answers. - We're going for xenon.- Xenon.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Neon.- Neon.- And manganese. - And manganese.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless?- Probably xenon.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Xenon, we'll put that last. Your least likely?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- Manganese?- Manganese.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24We'll put manganese first.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Let's put those answers on the board in that order...
0:40:31 > 0:40:36..Now, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was manganese.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41If this is correct and pointless, you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It's not our biggest ever jackpot, but it's still quite nice.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- It is.- You'd be very happy if you walked out of a bookie's with that in your pocket.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- What would you do with that, Jon? - It'd pay for a nice trip away.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Take our girls, Georgia and Olivia away for a little trip somewhere.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Treats.- Good stuff.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Well, very, very best of luck.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Let's find out. Is manganese an element without an I in its name?
0:41:09 > 0:41:10It's right!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18you will leave here with £1,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20It's into single figures...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You've done it!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Very well done, indeed. That is fantastic! Brilliant!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Brilliant.- Superb!- It's great!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- I didn't expect that. That's amazing!- Yeah!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Well, congratulations! Manganese is a pointless answer.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Which means you leave with that jackpot of £1,000. Brilliant!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45LOU LAUGHS
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Didn't expect that.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53I'll be honest, I thought manganese was an incorrect answer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I was thinking, "Magnesium, surely." But no, manganese.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00There you are! Just goes to show how little I know. Richard.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02An object lesson in how to play that end game.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08You picked a slightly tricky category and within it, you went for the option you knew something about.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Terrifically well done. The other two answers weren't pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16You would have scored eight for neon and four for xenon.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Manganese was your big chance, so very well done.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Let's look at the pointless answers in all the categories,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25in case you were concentrating on a different one...
0:42:31 > 0:42:35..River Out Of Eden also was a pointless answer...
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48And a few more elements that don't have the letter I...
0:42:51 > 0:42:53..Also lanthanum, a pointless answer.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Very well done if you got pointless answers in any of those categories.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00And very well done in the studio. Brilliantly played.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Thanks, once again, to our winning players, Jon and Lou,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
0:43:07 > 0:43:09It's fantastic!
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Join us next time on Pointless.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE
