0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show
0:00:26 > 0:00:29where you are rewarded for knowing obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi. I'm Clare. This is Emilie.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39We are friends from Cheltenham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hi. I'm Graham. This is my partner Anita.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We're from Walton-on-Thames.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45- Couple number three.- I'm Paul.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49This is my lovely daughter Sharleen. We're from Shoreham-by-Sea.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm Tom. This is Phil, and we're friends from Glasgow.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07The only man in Britain who loves trivia more than internet videos of kittens.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Hiya.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I do like trivia. But I do prefer internet videos of kittens, to be fair.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Yeah?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24You don't really, do you? You prefer trivia, don't you?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27If I had to choose between trivia and internet videos of kittens...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30If one of them had to be banned forever, I would ban trivia.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31LAUGHTER
0:01:32 > 0:01:34What a lovely show we had last time.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Oh, that was lovely!- Bex and Greg, and they were so lovely,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and Greg, he had the face of a boy and the voice of a 50-year-old man.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And they were so nice, and they won the jackpot.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46They got a really nice jackpot.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And they really deserved it, really earned it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Yeah.- Absolutely lovely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54We've got two pairs back - Clare and Emilie, who were just knocked out by them in the head-to-head.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Sorry about the money going, but they were lovely.- Yeah, they deserved it.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Do I believe that?!
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Really!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01They were a good laugh.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And then we had Thomas and Phil.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05They got knocked out on a rude word.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Yeah, they did - Round 2.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- We were looking for Lily Allen singles.- He just swore at me!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13"I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15"but I'm going to say a very, very rude word.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18"I'm really, really sorry to say it, but it's going to be my answer."
0:02:18 > 0:02:19And then it was wrong.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:30 > 0:02:32an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39As you'll have gathered, Bex and Greg won the jackpot last time,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's to be no conferring.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57At the end of the round, whichever pair has the highest score will be leaving us.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, our first category today is...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06USA. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Let's find out what that question is. Here it comes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23..as they could. US states that do not contain the letter O.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Richard.- Simple one, this one.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Just looking for any of the 50 US states without the letter O in their name.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed. Now then.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Emilie and Clare, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So, Emilie, what happened in that head-to-head?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK, so we took the first question,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and Bex and Greg took the second.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47And the third one, it was a question about houses
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and their shack trumped our mansion.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So they took that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53They did very well.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Now, Emilie, you are both from Cheltenham.- We are.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Where's your accent from?- I'm from Swansea originally.- Lovely accent.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I've lived in Cheltenham for eight years now.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06What are you going to go for? We want US states that do not contain the letter O.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Michigan.- Michigan.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Michigan, says Emilie. Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our people said Michigan.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17It's right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:2316.
0:04:26 > 0:04:2716 for Michigan.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's a very good start. Very tough on that first podium. Well done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35The only place in the world with a floating post office.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- It's got a post office which will deliver your mail to ships as they're passing.- Wow!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- And there's someone on it, feeling a bit sick?- Yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Exactly that.- Stamping post.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm not sure I'd want my post from there, actually.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Be a bit...- The good news is you don't have to. It's in Michigan.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Yeah, but what if...? What if...?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58We'll discuss this later.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Anita, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Great to have you here. Where are you from?- Just outside Weybridge.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05And what do you do?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm a retired university lecturer.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And what do you do now?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I still examine. I mark exams and I'm also translating a book
0:05:14 > 0:05:17from English...no, from Spanish into English.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Now then, how about the US? Do you know your way around America?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Not terribly well. But I've managed to come up with one state,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27which is probably quite high scoring, but at least it doesn't contain an O. That's Alaska.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Alaska, says Anita. Let's see if Alaska is right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Alaska.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34It's right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:3945.
0:05:41 > 0:05:4345 for Alaska.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46It's a pretty big score, but a perfectly acceptable answer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:5017 of the United States' 20 largest mountains are in Alaska.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Good place to keep them.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Really good place. People don't go skiing to Alaska, do they?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I suppose they don't yet,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- because there are probably easier places to get to.- It would be a good place to go skiing.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Are you after a free skiing holiday now?!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I'm after doing the advert for Alaska. You do SO many adverts. I don't do any.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08LAUGHTER
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Mmm...Alaska.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- You do it. You'll be brilliant. - No, you do it. That's good. - No, you show how you'd do it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Mmm...Alaska!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Why do I even bother?!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now then, Paul. Welcome to Pointless. What do you do?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- I'm a carer for my wife.- Very good.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Do you have much time off?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Not much time off, but I do follow Norwich City
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and I enjoy knitting as well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Do you? How long have you done knitting?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39About 18 months,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41when Sharleen was having a baby.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43She was expecting and she wanted a blanket, so we...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I learned to knit and me and my wife and my youngest daughter
0:06:46 > 0:06:48knitted her a blanket between us.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Good stuff. Now, what about these states not containing the letter O?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I will go for Utah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Utah. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Utah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, it's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:0545 is our high score. 16 is our low. You've passed the high score.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Almost down to the low score - 19. Very well done indeed, Paul.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1319 for Utah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Yeah, very well played, Paul. No Os there. There's a U and an A, but no Os.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Anything else you need to know, you just ask.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- One interesting fact about Utah. It doesn't have a floating post office.- No.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Tom. Welcome back. Now then, talk us through last time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Well, Phil...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32He went for a gamble.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34He certainly did!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It didn't pay off. Sometimes that happens.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Tom, remind us what you do.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I'm a student at York.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- And what are you studying?- History.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47How is your knowledge of the states of the United States?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's actually pretty good.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Phil and I do these competitions
0:07:51 > 0:07:55where we see who can get to the 50 states in the fastest time,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57because we're really cool.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58LAUGHTER
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So, er...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's just a question of choosing which one, really.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I'm going to go for Arkansas.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Almost universal nods from everyone else. They like that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Arkansas. Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Arkansas.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17It is right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:2016 is our lowest score so far.
0:08:22 > 0:08:2519 again. You join Paul and Sharleen.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well done, Tom. Good answer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well done, Tom. We should go to Alma in Arkansas.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- It's the World Spinach Capital. They hold a spinach festival every year.- We should!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36That's such a good idea.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It would be amazing.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40How do they feel about chard?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Chard, they hate.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44That's what the Chard Wars are about.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53The best score was yours, Emilie, so Clare and Emilie looking strong.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Then up to 19, where we find Tom, Phil
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and Paul and Sharleen.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Then up to 45. Anita, that was a punishingly high score there.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'm not sure why Alaska stood out so much, but it did,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07so, Graham, you have a mountain to climb there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12You make sure you score nice and low in the next pass and we all hope it's enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23So remember, Phil, we are looking for any US state without an O in them.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You're on 19. The high scorers are Graham and Anita on 45,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29so 25 or less.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Should be do-able for someone with your wide knowledge of the US states.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- The difficulty is you've just got to work out which is the one people couldn't remember.- Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42There's one that comes to mind, which is New Hampshire.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Can I just say, that was going to be my one, if I was playing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47That's the one I would have gone for.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51New Hampshire. There's your red line. If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53New Hampshire. How many people said that?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Very well done. Down it goes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Our lowest score so far - 8 for New Hampshire.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Takes your total up to 27.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12That's a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yes, anyone who came up with that, that's terrific.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Sharleen, welcome to the show.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Hello.- Great to have you. Paul, quick question for you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Were you massive Neighbours fans? - I was before Neighbours, actually.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I eat my words! I'm sorry.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- That's an insult.- But I've never heard that before(!)
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I know, I know, I know! I'm sorry.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What do you do, Sharleen?
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- I'm a full-time mother to my 15-month-old princess.- Lovely.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Princess...?- Violet. - Princess Violet.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- There we are.- Her name isn't actually Princess, it's just Violet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Just to clarify!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Not Princess Violet. - OK. Good to know.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Glad we cleared that one up. She's probably watching this, isn't she?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Hi, Violet!- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Now then, Sharleen.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59We're looking for US states that don't contain the letter O.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I think I can think of a couple.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I always say when I watch at home that I'm not going to risk it,
0:11:04 > 0:11:09but I think I am going to risk one that I'm not sure about, but I'm going to say Maryland.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think that's a great answer. Our lowest score so far is 8
0:11:11 > 0:11:13from Phil with New Hampshire.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Let's see if Maryland gets you through to the next round. There's your red line.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20It's right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28There we are. It's got you through. It's 6 - our new lowest score.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Very well done. Best answer of the round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Takes your total up to 25.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38That's a great answer. Princess Violet will be very happy with that, I suspect.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Do you know what the official state sport of Maryland is?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46They're a big sporting nation, the States. Maryland's got an official state sport.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47It's jousting.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51That's just mad. Wow!
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Jousting. And they have proper televised tournaments
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- and...things?- Oh, yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02The top jousters in Maryland make 20, 25 million a year.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07And what do they compete for? The hand of some beautiful maiden,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09or is it just a cup?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's both. It's a cup with a hand attached to it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14LAUGHTER
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So, you know, it's not great, but...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20OK. I should go there, I quite want to...
0:12:20 > 0:12:22No, I don't.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Now, Graham.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Graham, welcome to the show. Great to have you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28What do you do?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'm semi-retired. I do some voluntary work for a couple of housing associations
0:12:32 > 0:12:33and a local hospice.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And how did you and Anita meet?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Well, we bumped into each other at a Tube station in London
0:12:41 > 0:12:4316 years ago
0:12:43 > 0:12:45and the rest, they say, is history.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You took it all the way to the end of the line!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Absolutely, yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Fantastic. Now, Graham, we're looking for US states that don't contain the letter O.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Have you been to America? - Yes, I have.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Have you got a good answer? - I'll try Maine.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00OK, Maine.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02You are the high scorers on 45,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04so you really need this to go down as far as it possibly can.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Let's see how many people said Maine.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1623.
0:13:17 > 0:13:2023 takes your total up to 68.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yeah, a big score again, though, isn't it, for Maine, 23?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27That's tough luck. Two good answers from that podium and a big score.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Used to have quite a presence in the toothpick industry, Maine,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32until the toothpick mill closed.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- THE toothpick mill? Just the one? - Yeah, but they're only tiny. You only need one mill.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41They're actually massively scaled-down jousting swords.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42LAUGHTER
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's like jousting for hamsters.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Bit more lethal. - Hamsters riding guinea pigs.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- In full armour. - See, that, I would watch that!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I would watch that any day of the week.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56I'd watch that now.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- That should be the state sport of Britain.- Yeah.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Hamsters in armour, riding guinea pigs, with toothpicks?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Yes, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Definitely.- Fighting for the hand of a vole.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08The hand of a vole...on a cup.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Amazing.- Done. Sold.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Clare, welcome back.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Thank you.- Great to have you back on the show.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It was a puffin you were wearing last time and you've got the head of a stag on.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Indeed I have.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Do you have any jumpers that don't have the head of some animal...? - This is it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Puffin and stag - that's my lot.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I like them.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Perhaps if I win the jackpot, I can invest in a whole animal-jumper-themed wardrobe.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32You could. A zoo of different jumpers.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Good stuff. Now, you probably had a lot of good answers that other people have said.- Indeed.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- You can talk through all of them, if you like.- OK.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I think I want to join Phil and Tom's cool club,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48because I too play sad games where I, you know, race against the clock to get the US states.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Um...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51One that sprang to mind initially
0:14:51 > 0:14:54and I think I'm going to go with is Delaware.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Delaware. Oh, there's a murmur.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh, they like Delaware!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Or maybe they don't! - Maybe they don't.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Anyway, 68 is the high score. You're on 16, which means 51 or less - 51 or less -
0:15:05 > 0:15:07will get you through. There's your red line.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09If you get below that, you're through to Round 2.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Let's see how many of our 100 said Delaware. Is it right?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15It is right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19You are in Round 2.
0:15:21 > 0:15:247. Our second lowest score of the round. Very well done indeed.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Great answer. 23 your total.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31That's another terrific answer. Well done.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Lots of people know their states, so there's no pointless answers.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39This was literally a round of going through the states and working out which would be the most obscure.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42We have had the best two possible answers.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Sharleen, your answer, Maryland, was the best answer you could have given.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And the answer we just had from Clare was the second best as well.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Let's take a look at those two.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54There's a few on 8. We've already had, from Phil, New Hampshire.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Tennessee would have scored you 8 as well,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58as would West Virginia.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01A few more of the lower scorers. Pennsylvania would have scored you 9.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0310 points for Kentucky or Indiana.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0611 for Nebraska. Virginia would have scored you 15.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Michigan, we know is 16.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10New Jersey and Massachusetts, 17.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Let's look at the top three answers, the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Alabama would have scored you 32.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Alaska, 45.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21And Texas, way up the top there on 74.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with their high score of 68...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31That's not a high score. I'll be honest with you, Anita and Graham.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm really sorry. It means we have to say goodbye right now.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But we'll see you next time, when I hope we'll see you right through to the head-to-head and beyond.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Thanks very much for playing. Graham and Anita. Lovely contestants! - APPLAUSE
0:16:41 > 0:16:44But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And so only three pairs remain.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Which pair will be leaving us at the end of this round?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Now, Sharleen.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I've just thought of another Sharleen. Spiteri.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- And she spells it the same. - It's spelt the same.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The only other Sharleen I know like this.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Lovely low score. Best score of the round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Everyone needs to be aware Paul and Sharleen are the pair to beat.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round 2 is...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Famous people. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26And the question concerns...
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Famous scandals. Richard.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We'll show you descriptions of 12 people, six on each pass,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36who have been involved in famous scandals.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You just need to tell us who those people are.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42We're not including Phil saying a rude word on the last show.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Give us the best answer you can. 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50So we're looking for the people described by these clues. Here's our first board.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40There we are. Six clues to six people inveigled in scandal.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Clare, you go first.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47I think initially I felt quite confident when I saw the title of this round,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49but now I'm beginning to doubt myself.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Um...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I think I'll go for the top one - Conservative MP
0:18:54 > 0:18:55who lost his Tatton seat.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'm going to say Jonathan Aitken.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Jonathan Aitken, says Clare. Jonathan Aitken.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Bad luck, Clare.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Sorry, Clare. There are a lot of politicians to choose between
0:19:16 > 0:19:19when it comes to scandal. He's not the specific one there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Thanks very much. Now, Paul.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Yeah.- We want the names of these people.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, I know one for sure,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31but I think I'll go for the Secretary of State for War,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33because I think that's John Profumo.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36John Profumo, says Paul. John Profumo.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Profumo.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41It is right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:4641.
0:19:48 > 0:19:5141 points for John Profumo.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Well played, Paul. Another good answer from you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58He lied in Parliament about wrongdoing too and eventually was forced to resign.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Did a lot of charitable work after he resigned. Was made a CBE in the '70s.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Now then, Phil, you're the last person to have this board, so you can talk us through it if you like.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It's not a great category for me, I've got to be honest.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13The one I think I'll go for is the second wife of Henry VIII.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'm just going to guess at Anne Boleyn.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Anne Boleyn, says Phil. Second wife of Henry VIII.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Let's see if Anne Boleyn is right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Well said, Phil.
0:20:27 > 0:20:2840.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Best score of the pass.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39The ghost of Anne Boleyn is said to haunt Blickling Hall, which is Britain's most haunted house.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- Does she do anything?- Of course not.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45If she could do anything, why would she just hang around Blickling House? She could go on telly or something.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Was impeached for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It's a very big scorer. 71 points if you said Bill Clinton.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59The Conservative MP - as I said, there's an awful lot of them -
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Jonathan Aitken's seat was South Thanet. And Tatton was Neil Hamilton.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Would have scored you 14.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The cook and lifestyle guru. Do you know that one? It's an American one.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Martha Stewart.- Oh, yes!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12She would have scored you 10 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And the best answer up there is the future king.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16And that is George IV.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Would have scored you 2 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through. Let's look at those scores. 40 the best score of that pass.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Phew-ee! At 41 is where we find Paul and Sharleen,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29then up to 100. I'm sorry, Clare and Emilie.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33That was quite a punishing high score there for Jonathan Aitken.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Emilie, it's not out of the question.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38You could find a nice low-scoring answer and keep yourselves in the game.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47We'll put six more clues on the board. And here they come.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Remember, we're looking for people described by these clues, Tom.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You want to find the one you think fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38You're on 40. The high scorers are on 100, and they're Emilie and Clare.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So a score of 59 or less keeps you in the game.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43I know two of them.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47One of them's quite obvious, I think, because it was quite recent.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I'm going to go for the Canadian sprinter stripped of his Olympic gold.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53That's Ben Johnson, I think.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Ben Johnson, says Tom. Here comes your red line.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Is Ben Johnson right? How many people said it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It is right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Through you go to the head-to-head.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0833.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Good answer. 73 your total.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16There was an extraordinary documentary about that race,
0:23:16 > 0:23:17that 100m in 1988,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21where they interviewed everyone who had been in it. It was on BBC4.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22It's just terrific.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- The Race That Shocked The World. Worth checking out if you can get hold of it.- I'll look it up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Sharleen.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We're looking for the people described by these clues.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I don't know any of them for sure.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Are you a stranger to scandal, Sharleen?- I am.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I am.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You're on 41. The high scorers are still Emilie and Clare on 100.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4258 or less
0:23:42 > 0:23:44gets you into the head-to-head.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48OK.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I'll go for the Daily Telegraph and say Rupert Murdoch.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55OK. Rupert Murdoch, says Sharleen.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Here comes your red line. If you get below it, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Let's see if Rupert Murdoch is right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Bad luck, Sharleen.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09An incorrect answer there scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Takes your total up to 141. The game is not over yet, though.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Nor is the round. Richard.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Sorry, Sharleen. Rupert Murdoch has never been in prison.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22Emilie. Now, we have a game on our hands. We have a new high scorer - Sharleen and Paul, 141.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23You're on 100. You have to score
0:24:23 > 0:24:2540 or less to get into the head-to-head.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Oh, no, don't look like that!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Talk us through the board.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Just go through it and see if there's anything on that board you might be able to answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34I couldn't possibly.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I don't know any of them except for the top one,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39which...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I've even got a couple of different first names
0:24:41 > 0:24:43going round in my head for that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46The others... I thought scandals would be maybe celebrities
0:24:46 > 0:24:50who have fallen out of nightclubs and stuff!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Um, so I'm sorry, Clare.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55All I can go for is the American cyclist
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and hope that it's Lance Armstrong.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Lance Armstrong, says Emilie.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK, well, 40 or less is what you want to score.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05There is your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Let's find out. Lance Armstrong - how many people said it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:1557, I'm afraid.
0:25:17 > 0:25:2057 for Lance Armstrong. Takes your total up to 157.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yeah, really sorry. It's a big score for Lance Armstrong.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The more you read about that story, the worse it gets, the Lance Armstrong stuff.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Really?- Really, really bad.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No-one falling out of nightclubs here.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The closest we've got is Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38He loved the nightclubs.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40He would have scored you 6 points.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The proprietor of the Daily Telegraph...
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- I think you were on Have I Got News For You?- I was. Conrad Black.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Yes. He would have scored 14.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Now, the Labour MP who faked his own death...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Viewers maybe of an older generation will remember.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It was John Stonehouse.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Would have scored 12.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58And this last one is a pointless answer.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02The Chairman of Enron. So very well done if you said Kenneth Lay.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Kenneth Lay was a pointless answer.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Would have added £250 to the jackpot.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I'm afraid the pair leaving us...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12They were in the head-to-head last time.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14This time they leave in Round 2. It's Emilie and Clare.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Bad luck. You did so well last show.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18And you've done so well this show up to this round.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23I'm sorry we have to say goodbye. It's been great having you on the show. Emilie and Clare.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Congratulations, Tom and Phil, Paul and Sharleen.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38You're one step closer to the final
0:26:38 > 0:26:40and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:40 > 0:26:41which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44To decide which pair's going to be playing for that money,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But the difference is, you're now allowed to confer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Time travel films are the best types of films there are.- Oh, yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12We'll show you five stills from famous time travel films. Tell us what the films are, please.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK. Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five time travel film stills.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Here they are.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39There we are.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Five time travel films.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Tom and Phil, you've played best throughout the show, so you go first.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I think we're going to go for A,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54which we think is 12 Monkeys.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57A, 12 Monkeys, say Tom and Phil.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59So, Paul and Sharleen.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Can you talk us through the other films?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03See if you can fill in all the...
0:28:05 > 0:28:07B is obviously Back To The Future.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And C, Donnie Darko.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Not sure about D.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And E, I think, is Terminator.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18We'll go with E, Terminator.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20E, Terminator.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23So we have 12 Monkeys playing The Terminator.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Tom and Phil said 12 Monkeys.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said 12 Monkeys.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30It's right.
0:28:35 > 0:28:3611.
0:28:43 > 0:28:4411 for 12 Monkeys.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Now, Paul and Sharleen have said The Terminator.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53It is right.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Is it going to go down as far as 11?
0:28:56 > 0:28:5838 for The Terminator.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Well done, Tom and Phil. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Let's go through the others. B is Back To The Future.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08That would have scored you 57.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11C is Donnie Darko.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14It wasn't a huge film at the time, but it's a huge cult movie now.
0:29:14 > 0:29:1625 points - very big score, actually.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18And D is the best answer up there.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23It's the Woody Allen film with Owen Wilson - Midnight In Paris.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25That would have scored you 5 points.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Very well done if you got all five of those at home.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Unless you're watching on catch-up, through some sort of time travel thing.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32In which case, that's cheating.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Here comes your second question.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Paul and Sharleen, you answer this one first,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Yiddish words. Richard.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49You're going to see five words that have entered the English lexicon from Yiddish.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52We've left out alternate letters. Can you fill them in, please?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56OK, let's reveal our five Yiddish words. And here they are.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I'll read those all again.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30There we are.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Paul and Sharleen.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35We're going to go with the top one and say chutzpah
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- for impudence.- Chutzpah.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Chutzpah, say Paul and Sharleen.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Now, Tom and Phil, can you take us through the rest of the board?
0:30:43 > 0:30:44No!
0:30:44 > 0:30:46LAUGHTER
0:30:46 > 0:30:47We know one.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50The chat one. This is...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52ridiculous! It could be schnooze.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Let's go for it, cos the second one, sorry the middle one,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59is klutz, but it is going to be higher.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Let's go for it.- The chat one?- Yeah.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03OK. Schnooze.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Schnooze.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06OK, you're going to say schnooze.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08So we have chutzpah versus schnooze.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Paul and Sharleen said chutzpah.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said chutzpah.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17It's right.
0:31:22 > 0:31:2418 for chutzpah. Very well done.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Tom and Phil have gone for schnooze.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said schnooze.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Ooh, bad luck, Tom and Phil.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You'll kick yourselves when you realise how close you were.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47But well done, Paul and Sharleen. You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Yeah, it's not schnooze, it's schmooze.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51To schmooze.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It would have scored 15 points as well.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Would have seen you into the final.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58No point going for klutz - it would have scored you too many points.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Would have scored you 46.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Ineffectual is nebbish.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06The best answer up there - would have scored 2.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09And a complaining person, or to complain...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Kvetch.- Kvetch, yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12And that would have scored 7.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Well done if you got all of those.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:20 > 0:32:22and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Richard.- Five clues to the Shakespeare play Romeo And Juliet.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30You need to give us the most obscure answer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34The team that gets this point goes through to the jackpot round, so very best of luck.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37OK, let's reveal our five clues. And here they come.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13There we are.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Five clues to facts about Romeo And Juliet.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Tom and Phil, you go first.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The bottom one I thought was going to be great for a second,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24but it's a later film that I know was directed by someone else.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27The middle one...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I believe is Tybalt.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34OK. Tybalt, say Tom and Phil.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Tybalt.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Paul and Sharleen.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41We think we know the rest of them, actually,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- but it's just knowing which one... - Do you want to talk us through them?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's set in Verona.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49The title of the musical is West Side Story.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51The opposing family to the Capulets is the Montagues.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56And I think the Oscar-nominated director was Roman Polanski.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58What do you want to go for?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Just go for West Side Story?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04I think the other two... If you've read the book, you've read the book.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06We'll go for West Side Story, then.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09OK. West Side Story, say Paul and Sharleen.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10West Side Story.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15Tom and Phil have said Tybalt. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17It is right.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21I suspect this will be a low score.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Yes, it is - 7!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Well done, Tom and Phil.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Tybalt.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Paul and Sharleen have gone for West Side Story,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34the name of the musical adaptation from 1957.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:46 > 0:34:4716.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Not a bad answer. Not a bad score.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But I'm afraid it doesn't beat Tybalt on 7.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Which means, Tom and Phil, after three questions,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Very well played. There's only one answer up there
0:34:59 > 0:35:02that would have beaten Tybalt, and it is the film director.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06It's somewhere in your head, because it's not Roman Polanski, you'll be delighted to hear.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It's a pointless answer. It's Franco Zeffirelli.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Would have scored you nothing at all.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Polanski did do...
0:35:13 > 0:35:16He did a version of Macbeth, but not Romeo And Juliet.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It's largely set in Verona - you're absolutely right.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20That would have scored you 25.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22And the opposing family were the Montagues,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24but that would have scored you 37.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Very well done to anyone who got all five of those.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Thanks. So at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31the pair leaving us, I'm afraid, is Paul and Sharleen.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34But it's good news, because it means we get to see you next time.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Otherwise it would only have been one appearance on Pointless and that would have been too few.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42We'll look forward to that. Thanks Paul and Sharleen. Lovely contestants!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47But for Tom and Phil, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Congratulations, Tom and Phil.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58You've fought off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Very well done. You've performed very well. Some great answers.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16What would you like in this round? They're always hard. They're quite specific, the categories.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18What would we like? I don't know.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Whenever we say what we like, it never comes up.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24We'd like ships and acid jazz, please.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25LAUGHTER
0:36:29 > 0:36:31OK, fair enough. Best of luck.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34As always, you kick off this round by choosing a category.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36And here are the four options you have to choose from.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45LAUGHTER
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- I live in Edinburgh, so we won't be going for the bottom one. - I live in York.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53We've got to go for it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Yeah!
0:36:54 > 0:36:56That's jammy, isn't it?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58So Glasgow you're going to go for.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Very best of luck. Richard.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02That's turned out nicely.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05It's been on the board before, but it's turned out very nicely.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08We'll give you three different categories here for Glasgow.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Three very different categories. Give us an answer from one of these three, please.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18Any manager of Celtic FC from 1897 through to the 2012/2013 season.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Any station on the Glasgow Subway system.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Or any film with Billy Connolly.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25So any manager of Celtic FC,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27any station on the Glasgow Subway
0:37:27 > 0:37:28and any feature film
0:37:28 > 0:37:30made for cinema release
0:37:30 > 0:37:32for which Billy Connolly received an acting credit.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- No TV films, documentaries or anything like that. Best of luck.- OK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42To win that jackpot of £1,000, just one of those answers has to be pointless.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48It can be three from one, two from one, one from another.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50However you like. OK, are you ready?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Yep.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Let's ignore the top one.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Subway - Kinning Park. - Yeah, Kinning Park.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06I did the Sub Crawl recently, and they've just gone out of my head. Bridge Street.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Where's Glasgow Academy - where's that one?
0:38:10 > 0:38:11That's Kelvingrove.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Kinning Park, Govan...
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Ibrox.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Ibrox?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Yeah. What about Hillhead - is that too obvious?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21No.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Kinning Park, definitely. - Yeah, Kinning Park.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26We could go Cowcaddens.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Yeah, Cowcaddens.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29St Enoch?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Buchanan Street.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Kinning Park's a definite. - Where is Cowcaddens?
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Cowcaddens is just away out...you know where the Art School is?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Go for Cowcaddens.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- OK.- And we'll go for...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Hillhead?
0:38:45 > 0:38:4610 seconds left.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Govan and Ibrox...
0:38:49 > 0:38:50- OK.- OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK, you're happy to stop there,
0:38:53 > 0:38:55with seconds left on the clock.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58OK, that is time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01OK, we'll go for Kinning Park.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02- Kinning Park.- Kinning Park.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Got it.- We'll go for Bridge Street. - Bridge Street.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08And...what do you think?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Cowcaddens.- Go for Cowcaddens. - And Cowcaddens.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14OK, Kinning Park, Bridge Street and Cowcaddens.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? - Roughly equal, but I think
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Kinning Park's probably the best chance we have.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Kinning Park we'll put last. Which one shall we put first?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Let's stick down Cowcaddens.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Cowcaddens we'll put first.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Let's put those up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:39:35 > 0:39:37There we are. Very best of luck. Your first answer
0:39:37 > 0:39:39was Cowcaddens.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Obviously, if this is correct and it is pointless,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44it will win you that £1,000.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Tom, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Well, I'm hoping to make a short film when I finish university.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Maybe send it to a few festivals, and film-making is quite expensive, so...
0:39:54 > 0:39:55You need all the money you can get.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Put it towards that. Good stuff. Phil, how about you?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01As penance for last time's performance,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I'll probably give a wee bit to charity.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Very well done to you. That's fantastic.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Well, let's hope, three good answers on the board, three shots at that jackpot.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11At least one of them, let's hope, is pointless.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Your first one, Cowcaddens. If this is pointless and goes all the way down to the bottom,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18it will win you that £1,000 jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Is Cowcaddens a station on the Glasgow Subway?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23It is.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Down it goes, through the 60s, through the 50s,
0:40:27 > 0:40:28through the 40s, through the 30s...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32If this takes us all the way down to zero, you leave with £1,000.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Down it goes. Still going down...
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Look at that - 2!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37APPLAUSE
0:40:37 > 0:40:39APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT CONVERSATION
0:40:41 > 0:40:442 of our 100 people said Cowcaddens.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47That's a brilliant answer and a fantastic score in any other part of the game.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Sadly, in this round, it's only pointless answers we're interested in.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53However, your next answer was Bridge Street.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Let's find out. If it's correct and it's pointless,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59obviously, you'll win today's jackpot.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03So for £1,000, is Bridge Street a station on the Glasgow Subway?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06It most certainly is.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Cowcaddens took us all the way down to 2.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Bridge Street now taking us down through the 40s and 30s
0:41:12 > 0:41:14into the 20s, into the teens... Down into single figures.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17If this goes down to zero, you leave with £1,000.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Yes, you've done it! Very well done indeed!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:25That is fantastic. Very well done. Congratulations.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Many, many congratulations.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Bridge Street was a pointless answer, which means you go home with the jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:42It would have been kind of embarrassing if Glasgow had come up and you hadn't won.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44That was our biggest fear!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46You wouldn't be allowed back!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Very, very well done indeed. What about that, Richard?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Terrific. Very well done, guys. You've been terrific players.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Your last answer, Kinning Park, also a pointless answer as well.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58So, very well done. Two pointless answers.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59APPLAUSE
0:42:00 > 0:42:03We don't see that very often. For residents of Glasgow,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05the Subway stations is the way to go.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Some people at home might have gone for the Billy Connolly films or the Celtic managers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Let's take a look at some of those.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Five of them in all.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Liam Brady would have been a pointless answer,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16as would Lou Macari. Well done if you said those.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Sean Fallon, Willie Maley
0:42:18 > 0:42:19and Jozef Venglos. Remember him?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21He was a pointless answer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23The Subway stations...
0:42:23 > 0:42:24We've had Bridge Street, of course,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27and these are the other four that were pointless.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Kelvinbridge, Kinning Park,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Shields Road and West Street.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33All the others scored points. So you did very well,
0:42:33 > 0:42:37even with your knowledge of Glasgow Subway stations, to pick two pointless answers.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Billy Connolly films.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40All of these would have won you the money -
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Gulliver's Travels, Indecent Proposal,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Open Season and Pocahontas.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Very well done if you said any of those at home,
0:42:46 > 0:42:51and congratulations, guys. Sometimes the categories fall very nicely, and they did today. Well done!
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Tom and Phil,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
