0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39My name's Ian. This is my friend Karl. We're from Chester.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hello. I'm Hazel. This is my husband Jay.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We're both from Weston-super-Mare.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Hi. I'm Helen. This is Sam.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We're both housemates and students at Winchester University.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello. I'm Stuart. This is my mum Moira.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And we're from Surrey and Sussex.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09We've had him insured for £1 million.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11No, not because he's smart -
0:01:11 > 0:01:14just because one of our researchers swears they saw him eat a Faberge egg.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- How are you?- I mustn't grumble. I'm really very well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Excellent. We've got a real familiar line-up today. We've got three returning pairs.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Jay and Hazel are our only newcomers.- Yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Today we've got...
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Round 1...hopefully, you'll enjoy today, I think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Good.- As I say, three returning pairs.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Moira and Stuart were the best performing last time of our returning pairs.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Our contestants need to find the answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, of course -
0:01:55 > 0:02:00an answer none of our 100 people gave. Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Charlotte and Toby won the jackpot last time,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's to be no conferring.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be leaving us.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22OK. Our first category today is...
0:02:24 > 0:02:25It's a words round.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- -AIR, Richard. - We are looking for any word
0:02:47 > 0:02:51which has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends -AIR.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We won't accept the word -AIR itself.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55No hyphenated words, no proper nouns.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57All the usual stuff.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Now, Karl and Ian, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Ian, welcome back. Great to have you here again.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Tell us what happened last time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Well, we turned up. I brought Karl,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14realised that I'd made a mistake, and we were eliminated.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15LAUGHTER
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Was it Round 1?- It was indeed, yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- We were looking for albums from 2012...- Oh, yeah!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Yeah!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26And my learned friend here decided to plump for Justin Bieber.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And that was wrong.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29AND it was a wrong answer as well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Yeah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I'm kind of wishing I'd brought my seven-year-old daughter with me instead,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35because she's a huge Pointless fan.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37What's her name, Ian?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Her name's Olivia.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42She was watching the show last week and she said,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46"Do you know, Daddy, I think that Richard is more intelligent than Alexander."
0:03:46 > 0:03:48And I said, "OK, why do you think that?"
0:03:48 > 0:03:54And she said, "Well, I've looked at Alexander and I think he just guesses at half the questions."
0:03:54 > 0:03:55LAUGHTER
0:03:55 > 0:03:56She's smart!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Just half?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03OK, now then. You've had a little bit of time - not much, but a little bit of time -
0:04:03 > 0:04:06to think of a really good word ending in -AIR. What are you going for?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I've got a few
0:04:08 > 0:04:12to choose from, but I'm going to go for unimpair.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Unimpair.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Unimpair, says Ian.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said unimpair.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Oh, no!
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Oh, Ian!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer. That's so un...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- ..unjust. - RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:04:36 > 0:04:38APPLAUSE
0:04:43 > 0:04:45LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Um...oh!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- That was always going to happen, wasn't it? - Oh, that really is unjust!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59I can't believe it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01That is so unjust.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm afraid that scores you
0:05:03 > 0:05:05the maximum of 100 points. I'm really sorry, Ian.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And again, you've done exactly the right thing.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11You were playing Pointless the way Pointless likes to be played.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Exactly right. It's an unfortunate 100 points, that.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It doesn't have its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English, I'm afraid.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Jay, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. Tell us what you do, Jay.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I'm a decorator.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- And where do you do your decorating? All around?- All across the south.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Good stuff. When you're not painting and decorating,
0:05:32 > 0:05:33what do you like to get up to?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Um...
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Well, we recently embarked on a tour of the UK piers,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and had a kiss at the end of every one.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Steady, now!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46AUDIENCE: Aww!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You could have got all of them in one go - just go to the House of Lords.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50They wouldn't have minded.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We didn't think of that!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Wow! At the end of every pier. What's been your favourite pier so far?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Because we have a favourite. - We do have a favourite pier.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Southwold.- Fair enough.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- That's not our favourite.- No.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- It's no Bangor. - Yeah, Bangor is our favourite.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Bangor, that's the best pier. - Have you been there?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09We had our Pointless summer outing to Bangor.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It was brilliant, wasn't it?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13There we are. Good stuff.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Jay, what are you going to go for?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Um, I think I'll play fairly safe and go for armchair.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Armchair, says Jay. Armchair.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said armchair.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27It's right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Wow - 7!
0:06:37 > 0:06:397 for armchair. Good answer, Jay.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42It's a really good answer, Jay.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47I like to think of all the people at home desperately trying to think of a good answer and just going...
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Was that your idea, Jay and Hazel, to kiss at the end of every pier in Britain?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's a lovely idea. Or did you nick it off someone?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58No, we actually met on a pier
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and had our first kiss on a pier.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- Aww!- So, yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- It's a genuinely lovely idea, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Now, Helen, welcome back.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Tell us what happened last time.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12We got to the second round
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and then a question on stately homes came up,
0:07:15 > 0:07:16which isn't our strong point,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and we got 200 points.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22That was last time. Today is going to be a very, very different story.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26As evidenced by your brilliant answer right now, Helen.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27OK! Um...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I'm going to say despair.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Despair. - LAUGHTER
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Why are you laughing?!
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- As evidenced by your answer now. - I'm only laughing because it's funny that that would be an answer.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- Oh.- Despair.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- It amused me, that's all!- OK.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Honestly, don't panic.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Helen's going for despair.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said despair.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55It's right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:0110.
0:08:05 > 0:08:0710 for despair.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09The complete loss or absence of hope. I am sorry, Helen!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- It's OK!- For whatever reason, it made me laugh.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thanks, Richard. Stuart.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Welcome back to the show. Good to have you here.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19What happened with you last time?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21We got through to the head-to-head.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Unfortunately, we came across a better team.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I don't think you did come across a better team.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- I think you came across a team for whom those questions fell very, very well.- Yes, our luck ran out.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yeah.- I think.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Stuart, what are you going to go for here?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Um...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40There's a few that I've been thinking of,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42but I think I'll go for...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44eclair.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Mmm. Eclair, says Stuart.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said eclair.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52It's right.
0:08:58 > 0:08:5910.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Very well done, Stuart. 10 for eclair.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Started well again. Yeah, long, thin choux pastry with cream filling and chocolate icing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Let's take a look at those scores. Three scores between our four pairs.
0:09:16 > 0:09:197 the lowest score. Jay, well done. Hazel and Jay looking strong.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22As indeed are the other two pairs with low scores.
0:09:22 > 0:09:2610 is where Helen and Sam and Stuart and Moira are,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and then I'm really sorry,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Ian and Karl, way up at 100.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You never know.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33There may be another high score.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37There MAY be another high score, so, Karl, in case that happens,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39you need to be thinking of a really good low score.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So, remember, we are looking for words ending in -AIR.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Moira, welcome back.- Hello.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Remind us - you're retired now, but remind us what you used to do?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I used to work for the Metropolitan Police as an admin officer.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Moira, remind us what you like getting up to these days.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I do quite a lot of art work.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I like making my own Christmas cards.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Good stuff. Right, we want words ending -AIR.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, I'm going to go for one...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13which...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16people back home will know why I picked this one - wheelchair.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Wheelchair. Wheelchair, says Moira. Let's see if that's right.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Now, the high scorers are Karl and Ian on 100.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25If you can get below 89,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28you're through to the next round. There's your red line.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Wheelchair. How many said that?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33It's right, and you're through.
0:10:41 > 0:10:423.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Your total is 13. Very well done.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yeah, very well played, Moira. Wheelchair.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You know what a wheelchair is.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53I do.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Sam. Sam, now, welcome back to the show.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Remind us what you do, Sam.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm currently training to be a primary school teacher.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And what are your hobbies?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I don't really get up to much, to be honest, which is a bit embarrassing,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09but I like to see friends, spend time with my family, and I like to travel.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I went to Marrakesh and New York last year.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14What are you talking about?! You get up to lots!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16This is all good stuff for getting up to.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Now then, you've had a bit of time to think of things ending in -AIR.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I've tried to go for quite an obvious one,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26just to try and get us through, and I've gone for repair.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Repair, says Sam. Repair.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Here is your red line.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Again, you want to be scoring 89 or less to avoid overtaking Karl and Ian.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Let's see if you can get below that red line with repair.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40It's right - and you're through.
0:11:45 > 0:11:4614.
0:11:48 > 0:11:5014 takes your total up to 24.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Well done, Sam.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Very good again. Repair - you know what that means.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I was in despair until you repaired my wheelchair.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59LAUGHTER
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yeah. Now then, Hazel.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Welcome to the show.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06So how many piers so far have you done?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10We've kissed at the end of 60 piers.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12And does somebody take a picture of that?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15No, we've actually not got many pictures.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It wasn't until we went to the Isle of Man
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and we had to ask permission from the Manx government
0:12:19 > 0:12:22to kiss on their pier, because it's shut.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's a no-kissing rule.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Not just on the pier - on the whole of the Isle of Man!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's shut to the public, because it needs lots of repairs doing.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34In return for us kissing on there, they said would it be all right if they brought a journalist along?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36And then it went on the internet.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Really?- So, after that, we've had enquiries from people saying,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42"Have you been to our pier? Can you come back?"
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Wow! You've found sponsors for...?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45No, no money!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47No.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, now, what are you going to go for, -AIR?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I think I'm going to go with something I'm allergic to.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Mohair.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Mohair, says Hazel. Mohair. Here comes your red line.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Get below that, you're through. How many of our 100 said mohair?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's right and you're through.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, 3 is our lowest score so far.
0:13:14 > 0:13:155 for mohair.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Takes your total to 12.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Well played. Mohair is the hair of the Angora goat, as you probably well know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Now, Karl. Oh, Karl!
0:13:26 > 0:13:32This pains me, because I have bad news. I had to deliver it to Ian last time.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I've got to deliver it to you this time.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm afraid you are the high scorers,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37even before you've given your answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39And your high score...scant reward
0:13:39 > 0:13:43for going out and taking the kind of risks we normally love on this show.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Anyway...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I've had plenty of time to think,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54so I'm going to...I'll take a slight punt and say debonair.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Oh, good! That was going to be my safe one.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Mine too!- So you're saying you've got a risky one?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Yeah, yeah!- I look forward to that!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Debonair, says Karl. No red line for you, as you're already the high scorers.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Let's see how many people said debonair.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13It's right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:205.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Well done, Karl. Great answer.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27105. Well, the roles have been slightly reversed this time.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31But I'm really sorry. That pains me. But 105 is your total.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's a nice way to leave us - it's a good answer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Comes from the French "de bon air", of good disposition.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Can I say two things? Firstly, congratulations to you
0:14:40 > 0:14:43for so nearly saying "unfair"
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and avoiding it, which I thought was terrifically well done.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Unfair would have scored 9 points.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And also, just to say to Ian, unimpair -
0:14:50 > 0:14:53it's a really genuinely good punt to go for.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57If you'd said impair itself, would have scored 3 points.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Yeah, it's a real shame.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Yeah, that makes him feel better, doesn't it, Ian(?)- Not much!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- What would you have gone for, then? - Horsehair.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's a pointless answer!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10APPLAUSE Well done.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16That's great. There's only four pointless answers up there as well.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Let's take a look at all four of them.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Deckchair would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Seen a few of those, Jay and Hazel, right?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Horsehair.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Machair, which is a sort of arable land in Scotland near the coast.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30And shorthair, as in shorthaired cats and what-have-you.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Let's look at the biggest answers, the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Some big scorers here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:3667 points for lair.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Hair would have scored you 72,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and right at the top with 74, fair.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home, with a high score of 105...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'm really sorry. It's Karl and Ian.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I think Pointless has been really unkind to you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'd go for something a bit stronger myself!
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- Can we say hello to Ian's daughter at least, given he's been knocked off twice?- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Hi, Olivia!- Hi, Olivia!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think your dad was unlucky.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So don't give him too much...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I know you'd have done better. I understand that.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10But don't give him too much stick.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Anyway, Karl and Ian, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Thank you so much. Brilliant contestants.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Sorry we're saying goodbye.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:21But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28So three pairs remain,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32and obviously at the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Now, Jay and Hazel, our only newcomers for this show,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36you've seen off one of the returning pairs.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Just two more pairs for you to see off before you can stroll through to the final.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Sam and Helen, Moira and Stuart,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45very well done. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Our category is...
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59OK, and our question for Round 2 concerns...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Cities in the USA. Richard.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06On each pass, we'll give you six clues to US cities.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Just need you to name us the cities. There'll be 12 in all to have a go at. Good luck.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Thanks, Richard. So we're looking for the names of the cities described by these clues.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Here is our first board of six.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16It reads like this...
0:17:30 > 0:17:31I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There we are. Six clues to six US cities.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Hazel, you go first.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Have you been to America?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52No. I'm very, very lucky that I'm going first,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54as there's only one on there I know.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57City that shares its name with a mythical bird -
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Phoenix.- Phoenix, says Hazel.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Let's see if Phoenix is right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's absolutely right.
0:18:08 > 0:18:0949.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Not bad, Hazel.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yeah, the state capital of Arizona. Phoenix.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's called Phoenix because it rose from the ashes of another city.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Helen.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Yes.- Now then, what are we going to go for?- Um...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I'm not too sure about a lot of them, so I'm just going to...
0:18:28 > 0:18:32guess at Memphis for the location of Elvis Presley's grave.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Memphis, the location of Elvis Presley's grave.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Let's see if Memphis is right. Let's see how many people said Memphis.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Good answer, Helen. 24. Well done.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Even now, 36-odd years after his death,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59600,000 people a year visit his grave.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Moira.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05You're the last person to have this board. Why don't you talk us through it, if you can?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, the top one, that's definitely Los Angeles.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I don't know the second one.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm not sure on the fourth one.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I'm hoping the city that houses the Liberty Bell
0:19:16 > 0:19:19is Philadelphia.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Philadelphia, says Moira, for the Liberty Bell.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Absolutely right, Moira. Well done.
0:19:28 > 0:19:3124 our lowest score so far.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35You've passed that comfortably. 14. Well done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:3914 for Philadelphia.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yeah, it's long been seen as a national symbol
0:19:41 > 0:19:44of American liberty and freedom, the Liberty Bell.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But it was cast in Whitechapel in London,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Last time it was rung was 1846, for George Washington.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Los Angeles absolutely is the top one.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59That would have scored 43 points.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Would have thought that would score more.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Do you know where Barack Obama was born?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05There was a lot of controversy over where he was born in America.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- But he was born in Honolulu. - Of course - Hawaii!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Absolutely. Would have scored 4 points.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And the best answer on the board
0:20:12 > 0:20:15is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is in Cleveland.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Very well done if you said that. 2 points if you said that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Let's look at those scores.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24In reverse order, in fact, they come.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Moira and Stuart, well done. Lovely low score of 14 for you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Then up to 24, where we find Helen and Sam.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33And then up to 49, where we find Hazel and Jay.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Jay, you'll be the last person to answer,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37but you'll need to give the lowest score
0:20:37 > 0:20:39to remain with us for the head-to-head.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48OK, let's put six more clues up on the board. And here they are.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We have got...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'll repeat those.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Remember, we are looking for the US cities described by these clues.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Stuart, obviously, you'll try to find the one
0:21:28 > 0:21:31you think the fewest of our 100 people knew. You're on 14.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34The high scorers are Jay and Hazel on 49. If you score 34 or less,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Um...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Geography isn't a strong subject.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43But I think the city
0:21:43 > 0:21:45of the Red Sox
0:21:45 > 0:21:48is...Washington.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Washington. The Washington Red Sox, thinks Stuart.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Here is your red line.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Let's see if Washington is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Ooh, bad luck, Stuart!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I'm sorry. That's an incorrect answer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09That takes your total to 114.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You might be thinking of the Washington Redskins, Stuart.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass. Tough luck.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Thanks very much, Richard. Sam.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Sam, you're on 24. The high scorers are Stuart and Moira on 114.
0:22:24 > 0:22:2689 or less gets you through to the next round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31OK. I'm going to say - I don't really want to risk it -
0:22:31 > 0:22:33so I'm going to say, because I went there last year...
0:22:33 > 0:22:34I'm going to say the city
0:22:34 > 0:22:37that's home to the Chrysler Building is New York.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38New York, says Sam. New York.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Here comes your red line.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Nice and high. If you get below that red line,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Let's see how many people said New York.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's absolutely right. Well done. You're through.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5521.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Not a bad score at all. Well done, Sam.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Takes your total up to 45.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Good work, Sam. For 11 months, it was the tallest building in the world,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08and then just down the road they built the Empire State Building, which eclipsed it.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Thanks, Richard. Now, Jay.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You are the last person to play. You're on 49.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The high scorers remain Stuart and Moira on 114.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1964 or less sees you comfortably into the head-to-head.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Now, do you want to take us through the board and fill in the blanks?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23I'll try.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27City in Texas is Dallas.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30State capital of New Mexico I think is Mexico City.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I don't know the starting point...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I've got a feeling... No, I wouldn't even guess.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I think I'm going to go for the city that's home to the Red Sox,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44which is Boston.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Boston. The Boston Red Sox, says Jay.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Here's your red line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Let's see if Boston can get you down there. How many people said it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's right.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You've done it. Very well done.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0220.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Good answer.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Second-lowest score of the whole round, Jay.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Well done. 69 your total.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well played, Jay. I think a harder board, this one.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Let's fill them all in.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15The city in Texas is Dallas.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Actually would have just seen you knocked out if you'd said it -
0:24:19 > 0:24:2066 points.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22The state capital of New Mexico.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Mexico City is the capital of Mexico itself.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27The state capital of New Mexico is Santa Fe.
0:24:27 > 0:24:301 point. It's one of the oldest cities in America.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32There's evidence of European settlement there
0:24:32 > 0:24:35about 13 years before the Pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39The city that is the eastern starting point of Route 66 is Chicago.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Would have scored 7.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The city in which the Beatles played their first US concert...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'm sure lots of people will be guessing,
0:24:46 > 0:24:47but you'd have done very well
0:24:47 > 0:24:50to get it because it's a pointless answer - Washington DC.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53No points at all.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So at the end of our second round,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I'm afraid it's Moira and Stuart we have to say goodbye to.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Bad luck, Stuart. That was tough.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03It was a tough question, that.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05They were both tough boards, actually.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Normally there are more places to hide.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- You had first pick of the board and you went for, in good faith... - It was a risk.- It always is.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It's what we generally try and reward,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18but I'm afraid on this occasion you made a mistake.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We have to say goodbye to you, Stuart and Moira,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you. Stuart and Moira.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25APPLAUSE
0:25:26 > 0:25:30But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Congratulations, Sam and Helen, Jay and Hazel.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play
0:25:40 > 0:25:43for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45To decide which pair is going to play for that money,
0:25:45 > 0:25:46you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49The difference being, now of course you're allowed to confer.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the money.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I think this might be quite a good third round. Best of luck, everyone. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58APPLAUSE
0:26:02 > 0:26:06OK. Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Women who have played men in films. Richard.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15We'll show you five pictures of female actors who have played men in films,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17or women who've dressed as men in films.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20We just need you to tell us the actors, please. Best of luck.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five women who've played men.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And here they are. We have got...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42There we are. Five women who have played men in films.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Sam and Helen, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54We're ready now.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55What are you going to go for?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I think we'll go for E, and it's Amanda Bynes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Amanda Bynes, say Sam and Helen. Amanda Bynes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now, Jay and Hazel.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09We were really hoping we wouldn't get a films question.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We've got one.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- A is Glenn Close, isn't it?- Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19B is Julie Andrews.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Can't make out C.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think I ought to know who B is, but I don't.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Go for A.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30So we're going to go for A, Glenn Close.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33A, Glenn Close. So we have Amanda Bynes and we have Glenn Close.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39Sam and Helen said Amanda Bynes. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Amanda Bynes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41It's good.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Very well done indeed. 4.
0:27:53 > 0:27:554 for Amanda Bynes. That's brilliant.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Jay and Hazel have said A is Glenn Close.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said A, Glenn Close.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05It's right.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08How far down is it going to go?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It's got a long way to go to beat Amanda Bynes. 27.
0:28:13 > 0:28:1727. Very well done. Sam and Helen, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Great start to the head-to-head, Sam and Helen.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It's Amanda Bynes in She's The Man,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24which is loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And Glenn Close there plays Albert Nobbs.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30She's a woman who dresses as a man to get a job as a butler.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32B is Katharine Hepburn.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36She would have scored you 17 points.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39C is... Do you know C?
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Tilda Swinton.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Yes, in Orlando.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45That would have scored 3 points.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49And D is indeed Julie Andrews in Victor Victoria.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- She would have scored you 55. Big score.- Big score there.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Thanks, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Jay and Hazel, you get to answer this first, but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Salvador Dali. Richard.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Five clues now to facts about Salvador Dali.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Can you give us the most obscure?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Thanks very much indeed. OK, let's reveal our five facts.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13And here they are.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31I'll read those one final time.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50There we are. Five clues to facts about Salvador Dali.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Jay and Hazel go first.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55THEY WHISPER
0:30:00 > 0:30:02OK, Jay and Hazel.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We're going to go for the Twilight star. We're really not sure.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Robert Pattinson.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Robert Pattinson, say Jay and Hazel. Robert Pattinson,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12the Twilight star who played him in the film Little Ashes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Now then, Sam and Helen.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- We were going to say that one. - Do you want to talk us through the board and do your thinking out loud?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- OK.- We think he was born in Spain.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- Possibly.- Yes.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- What was the art movement? - Surrealism.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Um...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Don't know the film.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- The Spanish town, I don't know. - Barcelona?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Bilbao or something?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Shall we go for the art movement?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Yeah, we'll just do the art movement.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Surrealism.- Surrealism. You're going to say Surrealism.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So we have Robert Pattinson and we have Surrealism.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Jay and Hazel said Robert Pattinson. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49It's right.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Down it goes. 18 for R-Patz.
0:30:59 > 0:31:0218. Now, Sam and Helen have gone for Surrealism.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Well, it's right.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Is it going to go down as far? No, it's not.
0:31:14 > 0:31:1542.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Doesn't beat 18.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Well done, Jay and Hazel. You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Robert Pattinson said he learned his Spanish accent from Rafa Benitez when he was manager of Liverpool.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So he had a slightly Scouse Spanish accent in that film.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31The country he was born was Spain.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33It's a big scorer. Would have scored 60.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36The director of the film Spellbound was Hitchcock.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38That would have scored 10.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42And another answer that would have beaten Robert Pattinson -
0:31:42 > 0:31:43his home town is Figueres.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well done if you said that. 3 points.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It's the best answer up there.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Thanks. So here comes the decider.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Question number three. Whoever wins this question
0:31:51 > 0:31:54goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Sam and Helen, you get to answer it first.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58The third question concerns...
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Famous foodies. Richard.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05We'll show you the names of five famous chefs and cookery writers,
0:32:05 > 0:32:10but they are in anagram form. Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13OK. So let's reveal our five famous foodies. And here they are.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15We have got...
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34There we are. Five anagrams of famous foodies.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Sam and Helen, you go first.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46We're a bit unsure, so we're going to say the top one, alien owl slang - Nigella Lawson?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Nigella Lawson for alien owl slang.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Nigella Lawson.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Now then, Jay and Hazel, can you talk us through the board?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Email or jive is Jamie Oliver.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59And honk me is Ken Hom.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I haven't got a clue on the other two.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Oh, I know the next one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It's Uncle Nigel - Nigel Slater.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Oh, yes!
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Um...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I don't know the last one. Oh, yes, I do.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It's Delia Smith.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Right, we're going to go for...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20lean gristle.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Nigel Slater.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Lean gristle, Nigel Slater, say Jay and Hazel.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Nigel Slater.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28So we have Nigella Lawson.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Let's see, Sam and Helen, how many people said Nigella Lawson.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36It's right.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's good - look at that. 8 - very well done.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Good work, Sam and Helen. 8 for Nigella Lawson.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And we have Nigel Slater.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Jay and Hazel, let's see how many people said Nigel Slater.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57It's right.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59It's going to have to beat 8, though,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01if you're going to go through to the final.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03It's going to be close...
0:34:03 > 0:34:04It does! Look at that!
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Nigel Slater, 3.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Very, very well done.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Very exciting head-to-head round,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14but Jay and Hazel, you go through to the final 2-1
0:34:14 > 0:34:15after three questions.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Terrific head-to-head. Best two answers up there.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Hazel, you got every anagram and you chose the only one that would have won you the point.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Jamie Oliver would have scored you 67.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Honk me, Ken Hom, would have scored you 25.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And I hid metals - Delia Smith -
0:34:32 > 0:34:33would have scored you 16.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- Very well done if you got all of those at home. I thought those were quite difficult.- Yeah.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39You just said, "Honk me, Ken Hom".
0:34:39 > 0:34:41LAUGHTER
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Yes, and you know what? Not for the first time.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So at the end of the head-to-head, the pair that will be leaving us is Sam and Helen.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But what a brilliant performance from you throughout the show today.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Our lowest scorers coming in to the head-to-head, so no mean achievement, that.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Sorry we have to say goodbye to you. Thanks for playing. Sam and Helen.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:05 > 0:35:07But for Jay and Hazel, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Congratulations, Jay and Hazel.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Well, listen, you've done it.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34You have successfully bumped off all the other returning pairs.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Very, very best of luck. As always,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38you start off this round by choosing your category.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40And here are your four options. They are...
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Adventure stories could be... - Interesting.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Could be, especially if they were children's adventure stories.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55That would be really good.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Shall we go for adventure stories? - Go on, then.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Yeah. We'll go for adventure stories.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02OK, adventure stories it is.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06We're looking for any three of the following, please.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Any of the original 54 novels
0:36:07 > 0:36:11that make up Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13We are looking for any of the 24 main books
0:36:13 > 0:36:15in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan books.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18And we're looking for any novels or short stories
0:36:18 > 0:36:21featuring Professor Challenger, the Arthur Conan Doyle character.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Any of Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages,
0:36:23 > 0:36:24any of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books
0:36:24 > 0:36:28or any of Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger stories.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Very best of luck.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36All you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Remember, the answers you give can be from any of these categories.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43It can be three from one category, two from one, one from another.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Jules Verne, I can only think of Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57And however many leagues under the sea it was.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I'm sure he did one about going to the moon as well,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06but I can't think what one it is.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Tarzan... Tarzan?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Um...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Arthur Conan Doyle.- I've never heard of Professor Challenger.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Who went...who found the lost... the lost world?
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Could have been him.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Might have been. It's the only Arthur Conan Doyle one I can really think of.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Um...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- I really don't know the Tarzan books.- No.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Tarzan Meets Jane?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37HAZEL LAUGHS
0:37:39 > 0:37:4010 seconds left.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Oh, gosh!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44No, I can't think of any others.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46We're going to have to stick...
0:37:46 > 0:37:47with those three, I think.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49OK.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.- Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, also from Jules Verne.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Then Arthur Conan Doyle, the only book I can think of
0:38:05 > 0:38:08is The Lost World.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- The Lost World.- Whether that's a Professor Challenger, I don't know. - OK.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- So, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? - Lost World.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19We'll put that last. Your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25OK, let's put those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27We have got...
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Very best of luck. Your first answer, the one you thought was least likely to be pointless
0:38:35 > 0:38:37was Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Now obviously, it has to be correct, but if it is pointless,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43you'll leave with today's jackpot. So, for £1,000,
0:38:43 > 0:38:48let's find out. Is Journey To The Centre Of The Earth one of Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52It is.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Well, let's see...
0:38:56 > 0:38:59..how far down the column this can take you.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Down through the 20s into...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Oh! 18.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04APPLAUSE
0:39:06 > 0:39:0818. 18.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Not a bad score,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13but I'm afraid at this stage of the game, it's only pointless answers that count.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Your second answer was Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Now, if this wins the £1,000 jackpot for you,
0:39:18 > 0:39:20what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I guess you'd pool it, but what would you do with that?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25We've decided we ought to perhaps
0:39:25 > 0:39:27go on a foreign holiday,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30but maybe somewhere with a pier.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32LAUGHTER
0:39:32 > 0:39:34We can even take our Pointless trophies with us
0:39:34 > 0:39:37and kiss the trophies at the end of the pier.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38And maybe send us a picture.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40That would be lovely.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43You should go to Samoa. The capital of Samoa is Apia.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44LAUGHTER
0:39:44 > 0:39:46What about that?
0:39:46 > 0:39:47That's good.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50OK. Now...
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Let us find out. Is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
0:39:53 > 0:39:57another of Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It is.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02So your first answer, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth,
0:40:02 > 0:40:04took us down to 18.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Your second answer, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08is now taking us down through the 20s,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10through the teens...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh, not quite into single figures. 10.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14This is all moving very much in the right direction.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Very much in the right direction, but obviously, still not a pointless answer.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Everything now riding on your last answer,
0:40:23 > 0:40:27which you had no hesitation putting as your final answer.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30You thought this was probably your best shot at a pointless.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Let's find out. Your last answer was The Lost World.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39Is The Lost World one of Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger novels? Let's find out.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It is.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46It is. So your first answer, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48took us down to 18.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
0:40:49 > 0:40:51took us down to 10.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Your last answer, The Lost World,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55taking us down to 4.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Very well done, though.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Three great answers there.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04And you ordered them perfectly.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06That was absolutely superb.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08You judged that beautifully.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11However, very sadly, none of them took you down to pointless,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14so I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:14 > 0:41:16that will win you today's jackpot,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18which means that £1,000 jackpot rolls over to the next show.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22We've loved having you, and you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each. Very well done.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Yes, you played so well,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35and to give us three correct answers in that last round was pretty good going.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39You mentioned a Jules Verne Extraordinary Voyage about going to the moon.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43That was From The Earth To The Moon, but would have scored you 1 point,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45so would have prolonged your agony.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Some people will have done well in some categories.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53There's 54 Extraordinary Voyages. I might as well read out the only ones that got points.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55You've already heard two of them.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58You could have had Around The World In Eighty Days, which scored 22.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00From The Earth To The Moon, Five Weeks In A Balloon,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Around The Moon and The Survivors Of The Chancellor all scored 1.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Every single other one was pointless, so well done if you said any of those.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Let's take a look at the next board.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Tarzan The Invincible would have been pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Tarzan The Terrible, Tarzan's Quest,
0:42:15 > 0:42:16The Son Of Tarzan.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19You also could have had Tarzan And The City Of Gold,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Tarzan And The Ant Men, Tarzan And The Madman,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Tarzan And The Golden Lion, Tarzan And The Leopard Man.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26All of those pointless.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28And for Professor Challenger...
0:42:28 > 0:42:30The Disintegration Machine was a short story.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32These other two were the other two novels
0:42:32 > 0:42:34in the Professor Challenger series -
0:42:34 > 0:42:37after The Lost World, there's The Land Of Mist and The Poison Belt,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40and When The World Screamed was another short story.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Thanks very much, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Jay and Hazel,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Thank you for playing so brilliantly. Jay and Hazel.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, sadly, Jay and Hazel didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57which means it rolls over on to the next show,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59when we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
