0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33You need to come up with the answers no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi. This is my daughter Sharleen. I'm Paul.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We're from Shoreham, not Brighton.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Shoreham, not Brighton!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Couple number two.- I'm Anita. This is my husband partner Graham.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53We're from Walton-on-Thames, in Surrey.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Couple number three.- Hi. I'm Terry. This is my friend Andy, and we're come from Yeovil.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And finally, couple number four.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Sarah. This is Beth. We're flat mates at Cardiff University.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And these are today's contestants.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13There's only one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:13 > 0:01:14the head of our hokey trivia cult,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17so whatever you do, don't drink the Kool-Aid!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hi, everybody!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hello.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25- Afternoon.- Good afternoon to you, too.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We've given away two jackpots in a row, haven't we?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- It always happens like that. - It does, doesn't it?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33We don't give away one for ages, then it's two in a row.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35The boys, Tom and Phil, from Glasgow.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And Glasgow came up as a category.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Glasgow subway stations. It fell into their laps.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Yeah.- We've got two returning pairs from that show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Paul and Sharleen did terrifically well. Got to the head-to-head and were very, very strong.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Got beaten two-one in that head-to-head. So tough to beat.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And Graham and Anita were knocked out in the first round, but very unluckily.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53On the US States question.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So they're going to be strong, too. Should be a very tough show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I need... Hmm.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I need to talk to you in private, just very quickly.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Yeah. Yeah, OK.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Go on.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11WHISPERING
0:02:11 > 0:02:13(You should ask her some security questions.)
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, yes. Good idea. Good idea.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Do you want to go and talk to her?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- I'll ask. Beth.- Yes?- Beth.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24You're wearing... You've decided to bring hand luggage onto the show.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Yes.- Which is fine. We support that.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28It's just it's never happened before.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We're...concerned for our safety.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Just talk us through it, maybe, Beth.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- This is Quincy.- Quincy. - He's my duck friend.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- We go lots of places.- Can we see a bit more of Quincy?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Wow!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44He has a little neckerchief.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Yeah. One person's neckerchief is another man's noose!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I promise he won't tell me any of the answers.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59The slightly bigger question is why would you bring a bag on a quiz show?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01He wanted a day out!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- He was a bit...- No, I'm not having that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08That is, I mean, cutesy, but it's not an acceptable answer.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Don't you like him?- Personally, it's not "him", it's...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13It's some fabric.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15But...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's OK, Quincy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26You've made him sad.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He looks much like he looked before, to be perfectly honest.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Anyway, welcome Beth and, er, Quincy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I think it's going to be a great show, Richard.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Well, it's going to be interesting, certainly!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Going to be interesting.- Brilliant. Thanks very much.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those people didn't get.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Tom and Phil won the jackpot last time,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01so today's jackpot starts back at £1,000.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:04:11 > 0:04:12but there is to be no conferring.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be going home.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17OK. Our first category today is...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23People. Decide in your pairs who's going first and who's second.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31OK. And the question concerns...
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Famous people from Africa. Richard?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40On each pass, we'll give you seven clues to famous people who were born in Africa.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Just name the person, please.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43There will be 14 in all to guess at home. Good luck.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Thanks very much indeed. The famous people described by these clues.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51They were all born in Africa. Here's our first board.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'll read those one last time.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Seven famous people born in the continent of Africa.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Sharleen, you and Paul drew lots before the show.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And today you're going to go first.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Welcome back to Pointless. You had a great time, last time.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Yeah.- You did very well.- Yeah. Got through to the head-to-head.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Now, you are mother, full-time mother, to young Violet.- Yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I've also just opened a cake business from home, as well.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You kept that very quiet!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, you brought some cakes in!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I did bring some cakes in for you. - Mmm.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Unfortunately, there was an accident with the one that looked like Richard
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and he got smushed by someone. No-one's owning up to it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So I don't know if you've seen them, or...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30My head fell off. I've seen you.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Not only have I seen Xander, I've eaten him!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39They were lovely cake lollies, like a cake on a stick.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Right. OK. And it was nice, was it?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Apparently. Last thing I saw it was being eaten by a stuffed duck!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Now, then, Sharleen, what about these famous people born in Africa?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58I'm just going to go for the top one. I think that's Charlize Theron.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Charlize Theron, says Sharleen. Charlize Theron.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Is that right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Very well done, indeed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1614 for Charlize Theron.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well played. Good answer on that first podium.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23She was born and grew up on a family farm in South Africa. Charlize Theron.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Now, then, Graham.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31You are retired now. What are your hobbies, Graham?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I like to play tennis and generally keep fit, I do a bit of walking.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You played quite a lot of football in the past.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I used to play quite good level football. Amateur stuff.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Graham, what are you going to go for?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm going for the third one down.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I believe that was Professor Christiaan Barnard.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Professor Christiaan Barnard, says Graham.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Let's see if that's right and if so how many of our 100 said Christiaan Barnard.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Very well done. Good answer.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Very well played. A terrific start to this round.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13He said of that operation, "On Saturday, I was a little-known surgeon in South Africa.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16"By Monday, everyone in the world knew my name."
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Oh, good. Good for him.- Yeah!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Andy, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Andy?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm a civil servant with the Department of Work and Pensions.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29What fills your time, Andy? What do you like to do?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'm a season ticket holder at Yeovil Town. I play quite a lot of golf.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Walking with the wife and time with the grandchildren, really.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Good stuff. OK, now then, Andy. What about this board?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think, first round, I'm going to play safe.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm going for Nobel Peace Prize winner
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Nelson Mandela, says Andy. Is it right? How many of our 100 said Nelson Mandela?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57It's right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03That's a big score.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But a good answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08He was given the name Nelson by his primary school teacher.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12They had a custom of giving all their children essentially English-sounding names.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Sarah.- Hi.- Welcome to the show.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What do you do, Sarah?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm an optometry student.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22So you're learning to be an optician?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Yes, basically.- Good stuff.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27OK. Now, Sarah, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's all yours. You can talk us through it, if you fancy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Two of them, I've no idea about.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Obviously, the last queen of Ancient Egypt is Cleopatra.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I think the Nigerian author is Chinua Achebe.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Chinua Achebe, you're going to say?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Chinua Achebe, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Oh, bad luck, Sarah! I'm so sorry!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That's an incorrect answer. It scores you the maximum 100 points.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Sorry, Sarah.- Sorry, Sarah. Fair play to you for going for it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02That was one of the tough ones on the board.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08It's the second-best answer up there, Ben Okri. Ben Okri would have scored you two points.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10If you had gone for the last queen of Ancient Egypt,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12it wouldn't have done you much damage.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It was Cleopatra but would only have scored 44 points.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The Chelsea footballer is Didier Drogba. Scored 23.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And there's a pointless answer there, the south Sudanese model.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Alek Wek, a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:32 > 0:10:3514 the best score of that round. Sharleen, you're making a habit of this.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Very well done. Sharleen and Paul looking pretty strong with that.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Up to 26 where we find Graham and Anita.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Up to 70 where we find Andy and Terry,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and not that much of a hike up to you, Sarah and Beth,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46so not too isolated there at the top.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48But you are ahead on 100.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Yeah.- Beth, let's hope you and Quincy can come up with a really good answer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Best of luck with that. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03OK. Let's put seven more clues up on the board. Here they are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'll read those one final time.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The famous people described by these clues.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02They were all born in Africa. Beth,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Beth?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I do English literature at Cardiff uni.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Beth. You have first pick of this board.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I only know one, and I'm not even sure I know that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I don't think it's going to get us through.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Do you want to ask Quincy if he's got any ideas?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Maybe. I don't know. He's never been to Africa.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23They do often fly south.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- He's an Indian runner duck, not an African runner duck. - They often run south!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Yeah.- What's it going to be?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36I think the Nobel Laureate is Desmond Tutu.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38But I think that'll be pretty high.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Desmond Tutu, says Beth.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44You're the high scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It's right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Below 50.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Perfectly respectable.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Very well done, Beth.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Not a bad score at all, 24. Well done.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06He was asked in 2009, a small child asked him,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10what do you need in order to be able to win a Nobel Prize?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And Desmond Tutu is a very, very wise man.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14He said, "You only need three things.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16"You need a simple name, like Tutu.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20"You need a large nose, and you need sexy legs!"
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That was his answer.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Sexy legs.- Sexy legs. Sexy legs Tutu!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- That's a great answer. - Quite sweet, isn't it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Terry, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34What do you do with your time, Terry?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- I'm retired now, so... - What did you do as a job?
0:13:37 > 0:13:42For 30-odd years I worked as a printer for the local newspaper.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I retired three and a half years ago.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- And loving every minute.- Lovely. And what do you do with every minute?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Play golf, sit next to this bloke at football.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Excellent.- Huish Park.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Are you friends through football? Or does your friendship pre-date that?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01It pre-dated that, really. We met probably about 40 years ago.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Must be all of that.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10And everything I like, he likes, so we just... And then our wives became friends, et cetera.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Children grew up together. That's how it is.- Lovely.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Terry, you're on 70. The high scorers are Beth and Sarah at the moment on 124.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23If you can score 53 or less, you'll avoid overtaking their high score.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Good. Right. Yes. In that case,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29there's a couple, I'm not really sure,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33but I'm going to try the last emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Haile Selassie, says Terry. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40There's your red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You've done it!
0:14:51 > 0:14:5423 takes your total up to 93.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Good work, Terry. The Rastafarians consider him to have been a living manifestation of God,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Haile Selassie.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Now, then, Anita. Welcome back to the show.- Thank you.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07What do you do, Anita? Remind us.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I teach - I did teach. I'm now an examiner, yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- You examine for the Open University. - Yes.- Good stuff.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16We're looking for these famous people born in Africa.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19What do you make of them? Your current score is 26.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21The high scorers are on 124.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Well, my best answer just went,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28but I think Ghanaian Secretary-General of the UN,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Kofi Annan.- Kofi Annan, says Anita.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Get below that, you're in the next round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's right. You're through.
0:15:46 > 0:15:4813. Very well done.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Lowest score of the round so far, Anita. Takes your total to 39.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Very well played, Anita. Lovely to have you and Graham in Round Two this time round.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yes, he succeeded Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I mention that only so I get to say Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08- It's always nice to say Boutros Boutros-Ghali.- Never turn down a chance to say Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Now, Paul.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13We come to you. I have great news.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17You are through to Round Two, even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Beth and Sarah,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'm afraid, on their high score of 124.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Now, then. What do you fill your time with, Paul?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, caring for my wife, and doing a lot of cooking
0:16:27 > 0:16:31cos she's got a lot of dietary things. Cooking everything from scratch.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I make gluten-free pasta and things like that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- You do all the shopping, as well, making sure you get gluten-free. - It's all online.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41That's good. And what did you do?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- What's your...- I was an accountant for 20-odd years.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48So that was fairly dull!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- You've been involved in local government as well.- I have.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I was a councillor for a few years.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Was that fun, or was that hard, hard work?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That was fun, yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Mm. I mean, I met some interesting people.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I met Tony Blair a couple of times, and I met Arthur Scargill
0:17:07 > 0:17:10and Tony Banks, that was interesting.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I nearly met John Smith. He was coming to my house the day he died.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17So we almost met John Smith.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22OK. Paul, you're already through but for fun, can you take us through this board.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Fill in all the blanks and then submit the one you want to put forward.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I've watched the film Invictus,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and I knew it was Matt Damon,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34but I can't remember the name of the chap he played.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I think the Carry On films, I'd say that's Sid James.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40But I didn't know he was South African.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And the number one golfer I would guess is Gary Player,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45cos that's the only South African golfer I know.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- So I'll go with Sid James, just for the hoot.- Sid James for the hoot.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53OK. Sid James. No red line for you. You're already through.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But let's see how many of our 100 people said Sid James.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:0542 for Sid James takes your total up to 56.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well played, Paul. Another strong show from you and Sharleen.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14He was born Joel Solomon Cohen in Johannesburg.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Moved to the UK in the '40s.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Let's take a look at the rest of these. Now,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22former world number one golfer is not Gary Player.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It was Ernie Els.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Four times major winner. Scored seven points.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well done if you said that at home.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30The South African athlete,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33she was the athlete who was forced to take a gender test
0:18:33 > 0:18:35by the athletics authorities.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's Caster Semenya and would have scored one point.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Well done if you said that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42The last answer is a pointless answer, surprisingly.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45The rugby world captain was Francois Piennar.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Very, very well done if you said that. Terrific answer.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with a high score of 124
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm afraid it's Beth and Sarah.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And Quincy! I'm so sorry. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03We'll see you again next time, though. Will Quincy be joining us?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05We'll know next time, safe answer next time!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I know.- Of course he'll be joining us!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm delighted. Wouldn't have it any other way.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Look forward to that. Beth, Sarah, thanks very much for playing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Obviously, there's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29so we'll have to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Our two returning pairs are still with us.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Graham and Anita, you left in Round One last time. This time, our lowest scorers.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Some lovely answers from you there. They would appear to be the pair to beat.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Anita thrilled with that(!)
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's second.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Let's find out what the question is.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:00 > 0:20:04to name as many teams promoted to the premier league as they could.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Teams promoted to the premier league. Richard?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10The name of any team that's ever been promoted to the premier league since its beginning in 1992
0:20:10 > 0:20:13right through to the start of 2012/2013 season.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Any of those teams, so very best of luck.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18OK. Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Now, Paul, we come to you.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Team promoted to the premier league, Paul.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Would it be remiss of me to not say Norwich City?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Norwich City Football Club says Paul.- The greatest!
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said Norwich City.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Look at that! 16!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46On the ball, Paul!
0:20:46 > 0:20:4816 for Norwich City.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Been promoted twice, Paul. 2004 and 2011.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Anita.- Yes?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Anita, I'm sorry. This hasn't fallen brilliantly for you.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But I think you probably have a good answer here.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- You think so?- I'm pretty sure you do.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I apologise to Graham in advance
0:21:05 > 0:21:07before I say Queens Park Rangers.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Queens Park Rangers, says Anita.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Queens Park Rangers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Absolutely, Anita. Very well done.
0:21:21 > 0:21:2419. Very respectable score.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28No apology needed, Anita.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30They were promoted as champions in 2011.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Andy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I think I'm going to try Blackpool, please.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Blackpool, says Andy.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Blackpool. Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It is right.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4716 our lowest score so far.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Where is Blackpool going to take us?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Bang on 16. There we are.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Good stuff, Andy. Blackpool.- Well played, Andy. They were promoted via the playoffs in 2010.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01They had one brilliant season in the premier league and were very entertaining.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04They were relegated the last day of the season, beaten by Man Utd.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Only two scores between our three pairs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Well done, Andy and Terry, Paul and Sharleen, all on 16
0:22:13 > 0:22:17and then up three notches to 19 where we find Anita and Graham.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Not much in it, at this stage, but Graham, you are ahead.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's see a nice low score from you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I think Anita was implying you knew quite a lot about this
0:22:24 > 0:22:26so let's have you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Best of luck with that, Graham. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37We're looking for the name of any team that has ever been promoted to the FA Premier League
0:22:37 > 0:22:40since it was launched in 1992.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Now, Terry, we come to you.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44You are joint low scorers.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50I'm going to go for a team that have bounced up and down a few times.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's the favourite team of one of my friends.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54West Bromwich Albion.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56West Bromwich Albion, says Terry. OK.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Here is your red line, nice and low there.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01If you get below that, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You want to score two or less.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's right.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1613. Not bad, at all. Lowest score so far.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Takes your total up to 29, Terry.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Well played, Terry. Four times they've been promoted.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You call those sort of teams yo-yo clubs, always going down and coming back up again.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Thanks, Richard. Now, then, Graham.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31We need a low score from you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I've got to say, that's what I thought, West Bromwich Albion,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37but I'll go for Birmingham City.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Birmingham City, says Graham.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You're on 19. The high scorers are Terry and Andy on 29.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45If you can score nine or less, you'll avoid overtaking them.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Let's see. Birmingham City. How many people said it?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Here's your red line.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52It's right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Very well done. Ooh, you've done it. Look at that, six!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Best score so far, Graham.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Six takes your total up to 25. Very well done.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Good work, Graham. Promoted in 2002, 2007 and 2009.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Now, then, Sharleen.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Terry and Andy, our high scorers on 29. You're on 16.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19If you can score 12 or less, you're in the head-to-head round.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I don't know the names of many teams. I'm just going to say a team
0:24:23 > 0:24:26that I know cos I live near them.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27So I'll say Brighton and Hove Albion.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Brighton and Hove Albion.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32OK.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Brighton and Hove Albion. There is your red line.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Is Brighton and Hove Albion right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46No. Bad luck, Sharleen. I'm so sorry.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49That's an incorrect answer and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Takes your total up to an unbeatable 116.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I'm really sorry, Sharleen, that is really tough luck.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57They've been in the championship a lot, but not in the premier league.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01My partner's going to kill me cos I should know his team hasn't been in the premier league!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But I just don't listen, if I'm being honest,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07when he's talking football! I should do, really, but...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10With respect, who's got time? Who's got time to listen?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13That is tough luck. They've got a lovely stadium down there now,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15so I suspect they will go up one day, but not yet!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18If you'd said your dad's least favourite team in the world...
0:25:18 > 0:25:21That was the second one, Ipswich, I was thinking!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24You would have scored three points.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25It's OK.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27So sorry. So sorry. That's unlucky.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30There are no pointless answers at all on this board.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33But there's a few low scorers. Let's take a look at them.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You'd have also got one point for Barnsley. That scored one point.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Hull would have scored two. Ipswich and Burnley scored three points.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Four points for Swindon, Derby, Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52All scored four. Let's look at the top answers.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54The ones that most of our 100 said.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58QPR, one of the top answers, but didn't do you much damage.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Wigan would have scored you 20
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and right at the top, West Ham, another of those yo-yo clubs,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05would have scored you 26.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11So at the end of our second round I'm afraid the pair leaving us with their score of 116
0:26:11 > 0:26:16is Sharleen and Paul. I'm sorry, you did so well last time, through to the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I thought you were destined for that and maybe further today.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21But we have to say goodbye.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing, Sharleen and Paul!
0:26:28 > 0:26:30But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Congratulations, Graham and Anita, Terry and Andy.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:26:42 > 0:26:44which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48To decide who plays for that money, you'll now go head-to-head.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50The difference is you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53The first to win two questions will play for that money.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play our head-to-head.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Guitarists, Richard.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'm going to show you five pictures now of renowned guitarists.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14You just have to name the most obscure of these. Good luck.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Let's reveal our five guitarists. Here they come.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35There we are. Five famous guitarists.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Graham and Anita, you played best throughout the show, so you go first.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55We'll go for A, Jimi Hendrix.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58A, Jimi Hendrix, say Graham and Anita. A, Jimi Hendrix.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Terry and Andy, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Can't, really!- Wish we could!
0:28:04 > 0:28:10I should know C. I'm going to kick myself when they show that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13But sorry, we don't know B, C or D,
0:28:13 > 0:28:17but E, we believe, is Eric Clapton.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21E, Eric Clapton. So we have Jimi Hendrix versus Eric Clapton.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Graham and Anita said Jimi Hendrix.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29It is, of course, right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Ooh, that's a high score. Look at that, 73 for Jimi Hendrix.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Terry and Andy have gone for Eric Clapton.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Eric Clapton.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45It's right. Will it beat 73?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Yes, it will!
0:28:47 > 0:28:4953. 20 better.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Terry and Andy, very well done.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Let's look at the rest of these. B and C are very low scorers.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01B is the guitarist from Rage Against The Machine.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Tom Morello. Well done if you said him. Would have scored one point.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07C, a big influence on Jimi Hendrix,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10T-Bone Walker, the blues guitarist.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13He was a pointless answer, so terrific if you got that.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17And D is the guitarist and singer with Muse,
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Matt Bellamy.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20He scored 11 points.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24He holds the Guinness world record for the most guitars smashed on one tour!
0:29:24 > 0:29:27He smashed 140 guitars on the Absolution tour.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Thanks very much. Here's your second question.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Graham and Anita, you get to answer this one second,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38It concerns...
0:29:41 > 0:29:43George W Bush, Richard.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Just five questions about George W Bush. Can you give us the most obscure answer.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Let's reveal our five clues. Here they are. We have got...
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I'll read those one last time.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Terry and Andy, you go first, this time.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Well, it's not strong for us.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21So we think we'll go for the bottom one, the name of his first lady,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23which we think is Barbara.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Barbara, say Terry and Andy. Barbara.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now, then, Graham and Anita, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32We're not sure about the first one.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34We think it's Walter, but we're not positive.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36The state of which he was governor, we believe was Texas.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We assume he was born in Texas.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41But that may be a bit of a red herring.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43We know Barbara.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46And the first... Don't know.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- So I think we'll go... Shall we gamble or play safe?- The state.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54OK. The state in which he was governor was Texas.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The state of which he was governor, Texas, you're saying.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01OK. Terry and Andy say Barbara was his first lady.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Is that right? If it is, how many people said Barbara?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10No. Not Barbara, I'm afraid, Terry and Andy.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Which means, Graham and Anita, you only have to be correct with Texas of which he was governor.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 said Texas.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21You're right. You win the point.
0:31:25 > 0:31:2727 people said it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Well done, Graham and Anita. That's what you had to do.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34You're back in the game. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Yes, Barbara was his mum, married to the other George Bush.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40His wife was Laura Bush.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43She would have scored you 13 points.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Barbara is also the name of one of his twin daughters,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48named after her grandmother. And Jenna, the other one.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Would have scored you two points.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55He wasn't born in Texas, as you suspected. He was born in Connecticut.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57That would have scored three points.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01And the middle name, not Walter, but not a million miles away, Walker.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03That would have scored eight points.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Thanks very much, Richard. So, here comes your deciding question.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Question three. Whoever wins this goes through to the jackpot round.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It concerns...
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Irish counties, Richard.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Going to show you the names of five Irish counties, but in anagram form.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24You have to unscramble them. The team with the best answer will play for the jackpot.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five mixed-up Irish counties.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Here they are.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Graham and Anita, you will go first, this time.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53There's only one we've managed to work out, which we think is Clare.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56OK, Clare, you're going to say. Clare.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58OK, now, Terry and Andy.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Can you talk us through any more of the board?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03We're stuck on the second one, Moons Corm.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Ego Land is Donegal.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Layoff would be Offaly.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11And Limiter would be Leitrim.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18So we will go for Offaly.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Offaly, say Terry and Andy.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Offaly. So we have Clare versus Offaly.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27Graham and Anita said Clare. Is that right, and if so, how many of our 100 said it?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It's right.
0:33:33 > 0:33:3532 for Clare.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Terry and Andy have said Offaly.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Is that right, and if so, how many of our 100 said Offaly?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47It's right.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Terry and Andy, if you want to go through to the final,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52you have to beat - and yes, you do!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54You beat 32. 14.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02Very well done, indeed. After three questions, you're through to the final two-one, Terry and Andy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04That was terrific work on the anagrams, as well.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07You got all of them, apart from one. Offaly is a terrific answer.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Leitrim, absolutely right.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11That would have scored seven.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14The best answer on the board. Well done if you said that at home.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Donegal, you're right about.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Would have scored 17 points.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Now, the last one you couldn't get would have scored nine points.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Any idea?- Roscommon. - Roscommon, yeah. Roscommon.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Well done if you said that, as well. Nine points.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head I'm afraid is Graham and Anita.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Such a good performance throughout the show today.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39You've done so well. Graham, particularly, with Birmingham City.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42A man of the match moment, I would say.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45But I'm afraid this is where we actually say properly goodbye.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47It's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Thanks very much for playing. Lovely contestants. Graham and Anita.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Thank you. Well done!
0:34:52 > 0:34:55But for Terry and Andy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Congratulations, Terry and Andy. You've fought off the competition
0:35:02 > 0:35:04and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20You've done very well indeed. Hey, you've done "Offaly" well!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26You've done very well. £1,000 to play for.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28As always, the first thing you have to do is choose a category.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You have four options. They are...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41US Geography or '70s sport?
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Shall we go for US Geography? You're happy with that, aren't you?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46..Yes.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Yes.- Go for that. Go for that. - Yes, US Geography.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52OK. Which one of you is the expert on US Geography?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Well, who knows?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- I think we've got a shared knowledge.- OK. Very good.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Best of luck. You're going with US Geography. Richard?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Here are your three different choices in that category.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09We're looking for any state capital which begins with the letter A, B or C, please.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Any state capital that begins A, B or C.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Or any river over 1,000 miles in length
0:36:14 > 0:36:17that flows for any of its part through the USA,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20or any Mexican states that border the USA.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23So, ABC State capitals, any river over 1,000 miles,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and Mexican states that border the USA. Good luck.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32To win that jackpot of £1,000,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34only one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Your answers can come from any of these categories.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Just say whichever category it is when you give the answer.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43You can spread them how you like across the categories.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It can be all three from one category, or one from each.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- However you feel. Are you ready? - Yes.- Yes.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Your time starts now.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57OK. State capitals.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Do you know any long US rivers? - Not really.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- So if we look at state capitals we're talking...- Albany. - Albuquerque.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Albany. Is Albuquerque a state... Albany is one.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Columbus, Ohio.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Albany, Columbus...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Houston.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22New York.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Is Bangor Maine or is Maine... No.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I'm not sure. I'm not sure if Bangor is the capital of Maine.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Do you know any rivers? Obviously the Potomac, and things like that.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36But do you know any...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38No. There's one in Atlanta.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40You've been to America. Georgia and that.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- I was just trying to think of one. - Ten seconds left.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45OK. We're going to go Albany, Bangor...
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Columbus...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52We'll have to go for those three.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54OK. That is your time up.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I now need your three answers. What are you going to go for?
0:37:57 > 0:38:03- Uh, Mexican states is a no-no, so we can't go for that.- We'll write that off.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08Longest rivers, we only know the obvious ones, so we're going state capitals.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10They're all state capitals. Right.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- And we're going to go for Albany. - Albany.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Bangor.- Bangor.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Maine, I'm not sure about. And Columbus, Ohio.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22And Columbus. OK. Of those three,
0:38:22 > 0:38:24which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28I know Albany is... I know Albany is.. We'll go...
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- We'll put them in...- ABC order.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Yeah, we'll put them in ABC order.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Albany being the best or worst? - The worst.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39The worst. So we'll put Albany first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Bangor second and Columbus third. - Yes, please.- Lovely.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45OK, let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47We have got...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Very best of luck. Your first answer was Albany.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57You don't think there's much in it, but you thought this was probably your least likely answer
0:38:57 > 0:38:58to be pointless.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01If it is pointless and you win that £1,000,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03it's not the biggest jackpot we've ever given away,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06but Terry, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Probably just spoil the grandchildren and the rest of the family.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Something like that. - Very nice indeed. Andy?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Similar. Maybe get a new golf club or two.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Yeah, but mainly a holiday with the family.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Excellent. Good stuff. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Let's hope at least one of them brings that jackpot home for you.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29OK. Your first answer was Albany.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Let's see if it's right. If it is and it's pointless,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33you'll leave here with £1,000.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Let's find out. Albany. Is it a state capital?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Well, it's right.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41All it has to do is go down to zero
0:39:41 > 0:39:44and if it does, you'll leave here with £1,000.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Down it goes through the twenties into the teens, into single figures.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Down it goes! Still going down! Three! Very well done! Albany.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Three!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57That's a great answer. Fabulous score.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Sadly, we're only interested in very, very low scores!
0:40:01 > 0:40:03It has to be pointless or it doesn't count.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Your second answer was Bangor.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07You were less sure of this. Bangor, Maine.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10I'm not 100% sure it is the state capital, Bangor, Maine.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12OK. Well, let's find out if it's correct
0:40:12 > 0:40:15and if it is correct, let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17For £1,000, is Bangor a state capital?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21No - there's your answer!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24There's your answer. OK.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27So everything is now riding on your final answer, Columbus.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Do you think Columbus is less well-known than Albany?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I'd have said so.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- I'm not sure if it's the state capital, to be honest!- I see.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38That's my big main concern.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40OK. First, let's find out if it's correct
0:40:40 > 0:40:42and if it is, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45So for £1,000, is Columbus a state capital?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It is.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Albany took you down to three.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Bangor was an incorrect answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56But Columbus is taking you down through the twenties,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58through the teens, into single figures.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Can it go down lower? Oh, no! Four!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Four for Columbus.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Oh, bad luck! Two excellent answers up there.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Two lovely low scores.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17So you won't be taking home today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20We've loved having you on the show
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and you both get to take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- So very well done. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I think you probably concentrated on the right category, guys.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35I suspect people at home might have concentrated on that, as well.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Albany is New York, Columbus is Ohio.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Just before we get onto Bangor, Maine,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44I'll take you through some of the low scores to see if you got them at home.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47You could have had Columbia, Concord, Cheyenne, Charleston.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49All would have scored you one.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Two points for Baton Rouge, Boise and Annapolis.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Albany we've seen, three. Austin also would have scored you three.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00But there are three pointless answers, including the state capital of Maine.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03It's not Bangor, it's Augusta.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- Augusta, Maine.- I did know that.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Bismarck, North Dakota,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10and Carson City, which is Nevada.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I suspect some people would have got that at home.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15If you know your state capitals, you'll know them, but that minute is so quick.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18It whizzes by. Let's take a look at some of the rivers.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I suspect some people might have got that.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30There's only four pointless answers there. That's all of them.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And the Mexican states, there's only two.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Tough categories. I think your tactics were right
0:42:39 > 0:42:41but unlucky.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Sounded like you knew Carson City.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Yeah, I should have got that. Should have got that.- Bad luck.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Terry and Andy, but brilliant having you here.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants, Terry and Andy!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Sadly, Terry and Andy didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:56 > 0:42:58so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:58 > 0:43:01when we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye!
0:43:06 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
