0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:33where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And couple number one...
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Hi, my name's Denise. I'm a customer services manager. This is my work colleague Simon.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49- We've known each other about... 12 years.- Thank you very much. Couple number two?
0:00:49 > 0:00:54I'm Gary and this is Nicola. We're staff nurses at the Royal London Hospital.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00- Couple number three...- I'm Josie and this is my husband Simon. We're from Berkshire.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And, finally, couple number four...
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Katie. This is my sister Joanna. We're from Lancashire.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09These are today's contestants.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Thanks all of you. We'll find out more as the show goes on.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20That just leaves one more person. Accessing caches of restricted information like a fusty hacker,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!- Hiya!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hi, everybody.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Like a what?- You heard.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37- A fusty hacker.- The last time on the show we had Josie and Simon.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41How unlucky were they? Sean and David fluked their way to the final.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Very unlucky not to get through. They are a formidable pair.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52Gary and Nicola may well be a formidable pair. We didn't have enough time to find out.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Members of the 200 Club. It's very rare to get members of the 400 Club, but it does happen.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's something to keep an eye on.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- The first round is lovely.- Is it? - People at home will enjoy it. - Thanks.
0:02:06 > 0:02:13All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show. We want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Everyone tries to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot. Sean and David didn't win it last time,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28so we add £1,000 and today's jackpot starts off at £7,500.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Right. If everyone's ready let's play Pointless.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43OK, in this round I want an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47The pair with the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Our category for the first round is...dogs.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Dogs. Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's second?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05OK, and the question concerns... breeds of dog.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Breeds of dog, Richard.- Xander is going to show you five words.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15We want any breed of dog that contains one of those words, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Any dog on the UK Kennel Club website that contains one of the five words.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Good luck at home as well.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28OK, I'll put five words up and they'll remain up the whole time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33As Richard said, we need the name of a dog which includes one of those five words.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And here are those five words. Phew!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Dog words.- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41HE READS THE LIST
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'll read those one last time.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53We want the name of any dog that includes one of those words.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- Denise, you look thrilled. - Absolutely. Could not be better. - Do you have dogs?- Yes. I love dogs.
0:03:59 > 0:04:06- Good stuff. What do you do, Denise? - Customer services manager. - Are the customers happy?- Absolutely.
0:04:06 > 0:04:13- Well-serviced?- Absolutely. - And in your spare time?- Genealogy. Family tree. A lot of research.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- How far have you got?- Back to 1600. - Wow! Good work.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- Denise, we're looking for a dog with one of these words in its name. - I'll go for the collie.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24A blue merle collie.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Denise is going to say blue merle collie. Sounds good.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Let's see if that's right and how many said blue merle collie.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Oh!
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Denise, I'm afraid for some reason that's an incorrect answer and scores 100 points.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Sorry, Denise. Too much knowledge, I think. Blue merle is not a breed.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- It's just a physical description, I'm sorry.- That's all right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57Thanks, Richard. Nicola, welcome back to Pointless. What happened last time?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00We got 200 points in the first round.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- Nicola, you're a nurse.- I am. - How long have you been a nurse for? - Two years.- When you're not nursing,
0:05:06 > 0:05:14- what do you do to relax?- I like to try new things, so I'm learning to ski. I've had one ski lesson!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17On a dry slope somewhere or...?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- It's on an indoor proper snow slope. - Good stuff.
0:05:21 > 0:05:28- Now then, dogs. How do you feel about dogs? - I don't know very much about dogs.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I'm a cat person. Have you got a question about cats?
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I'm sure we have. This one, though, is very much about dogs.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'll have a go at this one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45I'm going to go for terrier and my answer is West Highland terrier.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51OK, you're saying West Highland terrier. I'm going to ask you to be more specific.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56This is the UK Kennel Club website and you know what that's like. Don't you?
0:05:56 > 0:06:02I don't know. I'm going to say a short-haired West Highland terrier.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Short-haired West Highland terrier.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Bad luck, Nicola. That, according to the UK Kennel Club website, is an incorrect answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- That scores you 100 points. - It's going very well, isn't it? - Isn't it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:34I thought it would be lovely. Everyone's got dogs at home, they'll come up with lovely things.
0:06:34 > 0:06:41- Some of these things are very specific. There's loads of lovely answers.- I don't blame you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- She blames me!- Yeah, she does.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53There's a lot of pressure now on Gary so they don't join the 400 Club. A lot of pressure.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00- Josie, remind us what happened with you last time.- I got a great geography answer, my worst subject.
0:07:00 > 0:07:07Got all the way through to the Head to Head and we got one each and then they got a fluke answer!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- It was a complete guess. - It was. Well, they said it was an educated guess.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15No, it was a complete guess.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- They said that.- Yeah. Anyway...
0:07:18 > 0:07:24Josie, breeds of dog that contain one of these five words in their name.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30I'm going to have to go with my mam's dog, Lucky, which is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32A Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
0:07:32 > 0:07:39Good luck! Let's find out if that's correct first, then find out how many of our 100 said it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Yay! Very well done, Josie. It's right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It's a good answer as well. Six! Very well done indeed.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53That's a great score.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00On a personal note, thank you, Josie.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Charlotte in Sex and the City has one.
0:08:03 > 0:08:10- Joanna...- Hi.- Welcome to Pointless! Great to have you here. What do you do?- I'm a student.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16- Which university?- Edgehill. - And what are you studying? - Secondary education mathematics.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- So maths you've got covered. How about dogs?- We have two at home
0:08:21 > 0:08:27and they are a breed that's on there, but I'm worried saying it because of the Kennel...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Because of West Highland terrier-gate.- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35You have one of those at the bottom of your stairs so they can't get up.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- So I think I'll go with another answer.- No, don't be scared.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47Well, listen... I think we were very unlucky with two very specific answers at the beginning.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Or not specific enough! - OK, I'll go for Sprocker spaniel.
0:08:52 > 0:08:59- Sprocker spaniel.- That's what ours are.- Let's see if that is right and how many people said it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Oh, Joanna! I just feared that might be the case. I'm really sorry.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I feel kind of responsible for that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16That's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points. Sorry. I really am sorry!
0:09:16 > 0:09:21I'm sorry, too. That's a cross breed. It's not a breed.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27With one person left from each team, the list is not terrifying. If you've got dogs,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30they're on the list, I promise you. Apart from cross breeds.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Thank you. We're halfway through. Let's look at the scores - both of them!
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Josie and Simon, very well done. I'm going to predict you make it to Round Two.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I'll stick my neck on the line. Low score of six.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Then we travel up to 100 and Joanna and Katie, Nicola and Gary and Denise and Si.
0:09:50 > 0:09:57Not much...in fact, nothing between you. It's a Si, Gary and Katie off in this next pass.
0:09:57 > 0:10:04Best of luck to all players. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:04 > 0:10:11OK, remember we are looking for breeds of dog which include one of these five words.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Katie...- Hi.- Katie, hello.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- What do you do?- I'm also a trainee maths teacher.- Are you?
0:10:19 > 0:10:25- I'm doing my PGCE at the moment. - Was there a lot of maths around in your household?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28No, just us two. She's copied me.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33She's copied your work! Now you know what you have to do.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39100. You are joint high scorers. We need a really good low score to make sure you're in Round Two.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Well, there's one that I definitely know, which I'm hoping will be quite low,
0:10:44 > 0:10:52and one which I think I know that I'm going to guess at, which is an Irish retriever.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58- An Irish retriever. A sort of think you know kind of guess.- Yeah. - OK, no red line.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03But let's see. Irish retriever. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh, no!
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I'm afraid it's another incorrect dog breed.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15It scores you 100 points. I'm really sorry, Katie.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19I honestly promise you there's famous dogs on this list.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24That's another cross breed, I'm afraid. A cross between an Irish setter and something else on here.
0:11:24 > 0:11:31All the dogs watching Pointless are sitting their going, "Irish retriever? I don't think so.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36"A breed? I don't think so, mate.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39"What's that? Dog food? Lovely."
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Simon, you're on six. You're through to the next round, come what may.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48You've taken away everything I knew!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Or thought you knew.- Thought I knew.
0:11:51 > 0:11:58Richard said there are lots of nice dogs left on the list. Normal dogs you could think of.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- I might as well have a pop now, eh? - Why not? Why not?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I'm fairly sure I've heard of an Australian sheepdog.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- An Australian sheepdog? - I wouldn't be that confident!
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Australian sheepdog says Simon. Is that right? How many said it? No red line for you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You're already through.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, no!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Oh, Simon.
0:12:26 > 0:12:33It's another incorrect answer. Thank goodness for Cavalier King Charles spaniel,
0:12:33 > 0:12:37our unique correct answer. It scores 100 points, but you're through.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43There's just a whole series of sheepdogs going, "Australian? I don't think so, mate."
0:12:43 > 0:12:49There is a dog, the Australian shepherd, but it does not contain the word sheepdog.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52No Australian sheepdog. Still, going brilliantly.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- You know what? I absolutely stand behind this round.- Gary, listen,
0:12:57 > 0:13:05you're on 100 points. The high scorers on 200 are Katie and Joanna. All I ask is a correct answer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I want a breed of dog with... You know, with this in.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- If I was in a better position, there's one I'd take a punt at, but...- Just a dog, Gary!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Just a dog that exists! - I'll just go for Golden retriever.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Golden retriever. Here's your red line.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30If you get below that, Gary, you are in Round Two.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's see if it's right.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Yay! Well done, Gary. 85!
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Who cares? 85. You are through to the next round. 185 is your total.
0:13:42 > 0:13:48That is how to play the game, Gary. I've never been happier with an 85-point answer.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- I'm just glad I'm not in the 400 Club.- Imagine if that was wrong.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Then there would be trouble.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Now then, Si. The high scorers on 200 are Katie and Joanna. You're on 100.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05All I want is a correct answer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I have got an obscure answer... - XANDER SHUDDERS
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And it is obscure, but yeah...
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- I think I'm just going to go with Cocker spaniel.- Cocker spaniel.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Here's your red line. Get below that and you're through. Let's see if it's right.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh, it is!
0:14:26 > 0:14:3174. Very well done indeed, Si. 174, your total.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- An unusually shaped round.- Yeah.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Let's cover this West Highland terrier. That was the unluckiest.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45It specifically is a West Highland white terrier.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51There's all sorts of other dogs. Scottish terrier, Border terrier, Airedale terrier,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Staffordshire bull terrier, Cairn terrier, Irish terrier,
0:14:56 > 0:15:03Bedlington terrier, Norfolk, Norwich... Let's look at some pointless answers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05All these would have scored points.
0:15:05 > 0:15:12Some of the pointless answers - Australian silky terrier, Boston terrier, Catalan sheepdog,
0:15:12 > 0:15:19English toy terrier, Irish water spaniel, Kerry blue terrier as well.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25The long-haired Pyrenean sheepdog would have been a pointless answer,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Tibetan spaniel, wire fox terrier.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I'll give you a few more.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34American water spaniel, Australian terrier, English springer spaniel.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40You could have had the Sussex spaniel, Welsh springer spaniel. All sorts of answers.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46Let's look at the three most popular answers. Border collie - 58.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Cocker spaniel - 74. And Golden retriever at 85.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Thanks, Richard. So the pair leaving us with a high score of 200
0:15:55 > 0:15:58is Katie and Joanna. What a tough round that was!
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- We like dogs as well. - Well, you did.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07The Sprocker is a cross between a Cocker and Springer spaniel.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13Both English and Welsh springer spaniels were pointless. They'd have been great.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18We'll see you again next time, but thanks very much for playing.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:26 > 0:16:34There's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head round, so we lose another pair after this round.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40Our category for Round Two is...TV. Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50OK, and the question concerns... game shows.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- Game shows, Richard.- We're looking for any breed of dog that's appeared on a UK... No, we're not.
0:16:55 > 0:17:02We'll show you descriptions of six UK TV game shows, past and present. Tell us the name of the game show.
0:17:02 > 0:17:0512 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10We are looking for the TV game shows described by these clues.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12HE READS THE LIST
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00There we are. Six game shows.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Si...- Yeah, this is good. I like this.
0:18:04 > 0:18:11I'm scared of giving the highest one, though, but I think I'm going to go with
0:18:11 > 0:18:16the show's consolation prize was a silver cheque book and pen. Blankety Blank.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Blankety Blank says Si. Is that right? How many said it?
0:18:26 > 0:18:2867.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- 67.- That's a big score. The second lowest we've had all show!
0:18:34 > 0:18:41Good after that first round. Presented by Terry Wogan, Les Dawson and Lily Savage as well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Nicola... No, are you shaking your head?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- I said hello.- I thought you were saying, "Oh, I don't like this." - I'm fine.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- TV game shows described by these clues.- I know a few answers.
0:18:56 > 0:19:03I'm going to go with one. I'm not sure what other people know, the classic Pointless problem,
0:19:03 > 0:19:10but I'll go with players could choose a physical, mental, skill or mystery game - The Crystal Maze.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14The Crystal Maze. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's right!
0:19:21 > 0:19:2616! That's more like it. Well done, Nicola. Great answer.
0:19:28 > 0:19:35Very good answer. Crystal Maze ran for six series. Richard O'Brien was the main host of it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Ed Tudor-Pole took over later.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Josie, you're the last person to have this board. How do you feel about talking us through it?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48The top one, despite being from the north-east, I'm not Ant and Dec's biggest fan.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- Newcastle supporters, you see. - Is that why?- Oh, yeah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So I don't know that one.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02Based on the American game show Family Feud. That's Family Fortunes, but that's going to be high.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Show in which five quizzers take on five of the UK's finest quiz...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11That's Eggheads, which we occasionally watch.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17But I'm going to stick my neck out and go for Victoria Coren's highbrow puzzle game,
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- which is Only Connect.- Only Connect. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Very well done indeed. 10 for Only Connect. Great score.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Very well played. This is like a normal game of Pointless.- It is.
0:20:42 > 0:20:49Like it used to be before the Kennel Club got involved. Let's go through the rest of these.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55The Ant and Dec answer is Red or Black. That would have scored you 35 points.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Family Feud turns into Family Fortunes. 52 points.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03And the five quizzers is Eggheads. Best to avoid it - 61 points.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07You chose the best answer on the whole board.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Thanks very much. So let's take a look at the scores. 10 the best.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Simon and Josie looking pretty strong on the back of it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20On 16 we find Nicola and Gary, then up to 67, Si and Denise.
0:21:20 > 0:21:27Denise, we need a really good score from you on this next pass or it'll be Si no more.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Can the second players please take their place at the podium?
0:21:33 > 0:21:38We'll put six more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40HE READS THE LIST
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll go through those one last time.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23There we are. We're looking for TV game shows described by these clues.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Simon, you need to give the answer you think the fewest people knew.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33The high scorers are on 67. If you can score 56 or less, you are in Round Two.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I've got a few I know, but they're all going to be quite high.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42I think I'm going to pop for Dale Winton at the bottom.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- Supermarket Sweep. - Supermarket Sweep says Simon. Here is your red line.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Below that, you're in the Head to Head. How many said it?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It's right.
0:22:56 > 0:23:0268 for Supermarket Sweep. 78, your total. I think that's probably good enough.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08That is a big score for Supermarket Sweep. Presented by Dale Winton.
0:23:08 > 0:23:15They even had a number 72 hit single - Supermarket Sweep by The Bar Codes. Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21"Next time at the check-out when you hear the beep, think of the fun you could have on Supermarket Sweep."
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- That's some going.- That's not, "That ain't bread."- It's toast.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- That's our catchphrase. We made it up.- I've got a new catchphrase.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- Yeah? - It's not a West Highland terrier. It's a West Highland white terrier!
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Now then, Gary. Cracking score from Nicola in that first pass.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49If you can score 61 or less, you're in the Head to Head.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I remember a few of these as a kid, but I can't get the names.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59I'll take a punt with Charles Ingram was found guilty of cheating - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? There is your red line.
0:24:03 > 0:24:11Get below that and you are through. How many said Charles Ingram cheated on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14It's right.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Ooh! 63 that scores you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It takes your total to 79.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Oh, the look on Simon's face there. It's quite impressive that in 500-odd shows
0:24:30 > 0:24:36- I haven't seen anybody cheat. - It shows what nice people we have on our show.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42- Or unbelievably good cheats. - It shows what nice unbelievably good cheats we have.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- We are quite trusting. - Now then, Denise.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50The high scorers on 79 are Gary and Nicola.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56If you can score 11 or less, you're in the Head to Head.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02- That's the kind of score we need. - The first one I'm pretty sure is The Weakest Link.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Simon Cowell, I really don't know which one he appeared on.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Carol Smillie, again, I should know it, but I don't.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And the next one, the final part of the show with the conveyor belt,
0:25:15 > 0:25:21it was Saturday Night something, but I'm not sure. So I'll have to go with The Weakest Link.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25The Queen of Mean, Weakest Link. Here is your red line.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29It's very low. Will The Weakest Link get you below that red line?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31How many people said it?
0:25:34 > 0:25:3675!
0:25:36 > 0:25:41That's a high score, Denise. That takes your total up to 142.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Yeah, that's a very big score. With the ones you had, it was tough.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Let's go through them. Simon Cowell appeared on Sale of the Century back in 1990.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56It would have scored you three points. Carol Smillie's big break was on Wheel of Fortune.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It would have scored 15.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06And the conveyor belt was The Generation Game. That would have scored you 65.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Sale of the Century, the best answer.- Thanks, Richard.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the losing pair is Denise and Si.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22The good news is we'll see you again next time. Denise and Si, thanks so much for playing.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the Head to Head.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Congratulations, Josie and Simon, Gary and Nicola. You're one step closer to our jackpot,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40which currently stands at £7,500.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:26:43 > 0:26:48To decide who plays for that money, you now go head to head, but you can now confer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot. Josie and Simon, you've been here before.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01- How are you feeling against Gary and Nicola? - I think the first round's shaken us!
0:27:01 > 0:27:09- Yeah.- The marathon of the dogs. - And Gary and Nicola, well done. Last show, that Round One exit,
0:27:09 > 0:27:15- a distant memory now.- We've done a bit better.- Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns... rugby emblems.
0:27:26 > 0:27:33- Richard?- I'll show you five photographs of animals or plants from the emblems of rugby teams
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- from the last Rugby World Cup. Can you name the team?- Thanks.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Let's reveal our five rugby emblems.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04There we are. Five rugby emblems. Josie and Simon, you go first.
0:28:09 > 0:28:17I think we know them all, but we'll press for the one that we're least certain of
0:28:17 > 0:28:19and we'll go A, Fiji.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23A, Fiji. A, Fiji, say Josie and Simon. Now, Gary and Nicola.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I'm pretty sure B's Scotland. Maybe.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32D, Australia.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I think E might be South Africa. Not sure. I'm not a big rugby fan.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I think we've got to go safe. I wouldn't have a clue.
0:28:41 > 0:28:47- I might take a punt at C and go Argentina.- Why not E if you think you know E?
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- Let's go for E, South Africa. - E, South Africa. E, South Africa.
0:28:52 > 0:28:59Josie and Simon have said that A is Fiji. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said Fiji?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It's right.
0:29:06 > 0:29:0815!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Very well played. Well done, Simon.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Gary and Nicola have said South Africa for E.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Is it right? How many said it?
0:29:22 > 0:29:28Bad luck. I'm afraid, an incorrect answer, so Josie and Simon win that point.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- It's one-nil after one question. - Fiji's the best answer.
0:29:33 > 0:29:39Of those other answers, Argentina have the nickname the Pumas. They have a jaguar.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42South Africa are the Springboks. They've got a springbok.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45E, the one you went for, is France.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49That would have scored you 32 points.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54B, as you suspected, is Scotland. The thistle would have scored 69.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00C, that's a silver fern. That's the emblem of New Zealand, the All Blacks. Would've scored 27.
0:30:00 > 0:30:07And D is a wallaby. The Australians are the Wallabies. It would have scored you 79 points.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Very well done if you got all five.
0:30:09 > 0:30:16Thanks, Richard. Here's your second question. Gary and Nicola, you have to win it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19It concerns Laurence Olivier.
0:30:19 > 0:30:26- Richard?- We'll show you five clues to facts about Laurence Olivier. Can you get the most obscure answer?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Let's reveal our five clues.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30HE READS THE LIST
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I'll read those one last time.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00There you are. Five clues to facts about Laurence Olivier.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Gary and Nicola, you go first.
0:31:12 > 0:31:18- We don't really know too many. In fact, we don't really know any. - Not something I know about.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- We'll guess he was knighted in the '60s.- In the '60s.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26The 1960s you think is when he was knighted.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31Josie and Simon? Talk us through the board if you can.
0:31:31 > 0:31:37- Right, I think... - I think the theatre company might be the Old Vic,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40but I'm not completely sure.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- He played Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.- I think he did.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Hamlet?- Mm-hm, Hamlet.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53It might have been the '70s or the '80s.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- We're sort of unsure about this. - Shall we play safe?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02OK, Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07Gary and Nicola, you said he was knighted in the 1960s. Is that right? How many said it?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Oh...! Bad luck.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Reasonable punt, but an incorrect answer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:23Josie and Simon, you have said he played Heathcliff. Is that right? How many people said Heathcliff?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It's right. Very well done.
0:32:30 > 0:32:3226 people said it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38Moreover, it was right. That sees you through to the final after only two questions. Two-nil.
0:32:38 > 0:32:44- Very well played there. Let's look at the rest. It wasn't the Old Vic.- The National.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50The National, yes. It would have scored three. Well done if you said that.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56- Do you know who played him? - Kenneth Branagh.- Yes. It would have scored you nine.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- The Shakespeare role...- Henry V? - It wasn't Henry V.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04It was 1949, Hamlet. It would have scored 14.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10One of only two people to win an acting Oscar for a film they directed. Him and Roberto Benigni.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16The only two to have done that. And he was knighted not in the '60s. Youngest actor ever to be knighted.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21It was in the 1940s. 1940s. It would have scored one.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Very well done if you got that.
0:33:24 > 0:33:31Thanks, Richard. So I'm afraid the pair who will be leaving us is Gary and Nicola. That was tough.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33They didn't fall well for you.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39- No. We joined the 200 Club again, so we're happy enough.- It's been great having you on both shows.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Gary and Nicola, great contestants.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48But for Josie and Simon, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:50 > 0:33:56Congratulations. You've seen off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £7,500.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15That was more like it for a Head to Head. No luck there.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- It was difficult. - It was very hard.- Hamlet.- Yes.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26- I'm happy with that one. - I salute you. What would you like to come up in this round?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Oh...- It won't be dogs, I'm sure.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- Anything geological. - You'd be on your own, but yeah.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38OK, very best of luck. First you have to choose a category.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You have four choices. They are...
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- Unoriginal Movies is going to be like remakes, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56I know nothing about the General Election of 2010.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- British Tennis... You've been to Madrid. I haven't.- Yes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:07Em, you know, we argued and discussed when we thought we might get to this position
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- and we said we'd not do movies. So we'll do movies! - Unoriginal Movies?- Yes.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15OK. Unoriginal Movies, Richard.
0:35:15 > 0:35:21We're looking for any film based on a book or play or any work of fiction or non-fiction,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24starring any of the following.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Any film starring any of those three. No TV films, documentaries.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38Feature films for cinema release that are based on a book or a play.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Very best of luck.- OK.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers. You need just one pointless answer.
0:35:46 > 0:35:53The answers can be from any of these categories - three from one, two from one, one from another -
0:35:53 > 0:35:58as long as it's an unoriginal film with one of them in it.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08- There they are. Your time starts now.- Ewan McGregor was in The Island.- Yes.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13- It was a book.- What was the one where he was drawn on?- The Pillow Book!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Yes, we'll go with that.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21- Christian Bale was in that magician one. The...- The Prestige. - The Prestige.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Matt Damon's been in all the Bourne books, but...- Yeah.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- None of those will be pointless. - I don't think so.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- Another Ewan McGregor. - Was he in The Cider House Rules?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38I don't know. I've never seen it.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Ewan McGregor...was in...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Jane Austen...
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- He was in Emma! - He was in Emma?- Mm-hm.- OK.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- He played...Fairfax, I think. - Right.
0:36:53 > 0:37:00- Yeah, he was in Emma. - So you'd go for Emma, Pillow Book...- Pillow Book.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- And The Prestige.- OK, yeah.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- I love the way you just cruised the last few seconds.- We'd run out!
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Say which of the three actors you're submitting for.- OK.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- For Christian Bale, The Prestige. - The Prestige.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- And Ewan McGregor, we've got two. The Pillow Book.- The Pillow Book.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31- And...Emma.- And Emma. Of those three answers, which is your best crack at a pointless?
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- The Pillow Book. - We'll put that last. And your least likely to be pointless?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Probably The Prestige.- OK, let's put those up in that order.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44We have got...
0:37:46 > 0:37:51OK, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was The Prestige.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57Only one of these answers has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £7,500.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Josie, what would you do with that if you won that jackpot?
0:38:02 > 0:38:09- We've got some charities quite close to our heart. Give some to them and the rest towards a holiday.- Yes.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Very good indeed. Three good answers.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Let's hope at least one of those is pointless. First, The Prestige.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21It has to be correct, then pointless for you to win today's jackpot.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26For £7,500, was The Prestige a Christian Bale film?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31It was, is the answer.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35An unoriginal movie starring Christian Bale. Down it goes.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Into the 20s. Still going down.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Down it goes! Three!
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Three for The Prestige.
0:38:46 > 0:38:54Very well done. A great answer and a great low score for your least likely to be pointless.
0:38:54 > 0:39:02- Your second answer was Emma. Very well remembered. One of those roles you forget.- And he looked awful.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I remember why.- Ewan, if you're watching, she doesn't mean it!
0:39:06 > 0:39:13He looked awful because he'd just done Trainspotting, he'd had his head shaved and they put a wig on him.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15It was a horrible wig.
0:39:15 > 0:39:21- I remember thinking he looked shocking.- Maybe that was the look that made you remember it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Maybe it wins you the jackpot. For £7,500, let's find out
0:39:26 > 0:39:30if Emma did indeed star Ewan McGregor.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33It did!
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Now The Prestige took us down to three.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Emma takes us through the 30s.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44If this goes all the way, you leave with £7,500.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Oh, one! One person!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I bet you it was the wig. It was the wig they remembered.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00OK, everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- The Pillow Book. You were confident. - I think it's based on a book.
0:40:04 > 0:40:11- She really did like him in this film.- He was naked for most of it for a start, so...!
0:40:11 > 0:40:16OK. Got to hope that no one else remembers that.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19This is your final answer. Let's see if it's right
0:40:19 > 0:40:25and if it's pointless. For £7,500, was Ewan McGregor in The Pillow Book?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Yes, he was. And, yes, it's an unoriginal movie.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35The Prestige took us down to three. Emma took us down to one.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39The Pillow Book now takes us all the way down...
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Oh, no!
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Oh, no! - APPLAUSE
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- Oh, I am so sorry. - It's that one Ewan McGregor fan!
0:40:52 > 0:40:59That happens so rarely and it's just agonising. Not one, but two ones.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05That's really bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't find that pointless answer,
0:41:05 > 0:41:11- so you don't win today's jackpot. - We only came for the trophies. - Well, we've loved having you
0:41:11 > 0:41:15and you do take those trophies home. Very well done. Brilliant.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26That's unlucky, isn't it? Let's outline your achievements.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29You've been on two shows. Both times in the Head to Head.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Last time, knocked out by a fluke. This time straight through.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- And you survived the dogs as well! - She did.- My mum's dog did.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41That is quite a career you've had.
0:41:41 > 0:41:47There's some well-known pointless answers. You'll recognise a few, so I apologise in advance.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54For Matt Damon, Invictus was pointless, The Adjustment Bureau,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58The Rainmaker, the John Grisham book, True Grit as well.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04- Just watched it the other week! - A lot of people don't realise it was based on a book.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10Christian Bale. 3:10 To Yuma, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Captain Corelli's Mandolin,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Little Women as well.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19All of those would have won you the money. And Ewan McGregor - Angels and Demons, Black Hawk Down,
0:42:19 > 0:42:26- Rogue Trader and The Men Who Stare At Goats. - I've seen all of these!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Very well done if you got any of those at home. You've seen a few.
0:42:30 > 0:42:37- Seen most of those.- So sorry. - You've seen all of those. - Between us, yeah.- Oh, bad luck.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47Thank you so much for playing. Josie and Simon, lovely contestants.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53So, sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today so it rolls over to the next show
0:42:53 > 0:42:55when we'll be playing for £8,500.
0:42:58 > 0:43:04- Join us then to see if someone wins. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And from me. Goodbye.
