0:00:14 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33To do that, you need to come up with the answers no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Ellen, this is my friend Leah, and we're from Belfast.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Rebekah, this is my dad Paul, and we're from Rotherham.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Couple number three. - Hello, I'm Richard, this is my wife Jane, and we're from Rutland.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57- And couple number four.- Hello, I'm James, this is my best friend Matt, and we're from Sutton Coldfield.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Bitten by a radioactive encyclopaedia in 1974,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon.- And to you. - So, again, we've got four new pairs.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Yeah!- Four brand new pairs to get to know. Eight people.- They seem nice.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29They seem lovely! We always have a little chat beforehand.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33We do rank you in order, one to eight. I've got my order written down.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Yep.- Have a look at that. - Mine's completely different from yours, as well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Not completely different. Yeah.- Yeah.- Good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45But all lovely. Even number eight on the list, lovely. Lovely.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Pleasure to meet you all. No, so who knows what's going to happen?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53You've got to hope that one of these pairs is going to show their true colours and go all the way through.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Thanks, Richard. All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 didn't get.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Dave and Chris didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16So today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19APPLAUSE
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:30OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will leave us, so make sure that isn't you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Fiction. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Classic children's fiction. Richard. - Very simple, this one.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03We'll show you the names of seven classic children's books on each pass. Tell us the author, please.
0:03:03 > 0:03:0514 in all to have a go at.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09So we're looking for the authors of these classic works of children's fiction.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And here is our first board of seven.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'll read those one last time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Leah and Ellen, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Leah, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- What do you do, Leah?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm a student studying health and social care.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- How long have you done that? - This is my first year. - Enjoying it?- Yeah, I love it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- What do you like doing when you're not studying?- Baking, probably.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Anything. - Good. Is that quite a new hobby?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Yeah, I only really started this year after I left high school,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- I started it in my spare time at the weekends. - And what have you brought for us?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Nothing. I couldn't bring it on the plane!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07No, seriously, though. LAUGHTER
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Whenever they say nothing, it's because they've done something awesome.- Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- And they usually surprise us in the head-to-head.- She can produce that at the right moment.- Exactly.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- But thank you in advance.- Yeah, thanks. What is your signature dish?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Erm, I like making white chocolate and marshmallow cheesecake.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- LAUGHTER - Wow!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Anyway, Leah, here's your board. You are the first person to have it so you can take your pick of it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I wish I could! I don't really know any of them,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43which is probably not that great, but I'm just going to say
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Treasure Island, Charles Dickens.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Treasure Island, Charles Dickens, says Leah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Charles Dickens.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Oh, dear! - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Bad luck, Leah. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's not a brilliant start. That cake better be amazing to make up for that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Now then, Rebekah, welcome. - Thank you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- From Rotherham. What do you do? - I'm a student studying A levels.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- What are your subjects? - Biology, psychology, maths and English literature.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21There we are. Phew. In the nick of time. What do you make of this board?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I know one and I'm glad Leah didn't go for it. Well, I think I know one.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- I think.- OK.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- What is it? - LAUGHTER
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Erm, Winnie-The-Pooh I think is by AA Milne.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42AA Milne, says Rebekah. Let's find out if that is right, and if it is, how many people said AA Milne.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- 60. - APPLAUSE
0:05:50 > 0:05:5260 for AA Milne.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Much better than 100, Rebekah. Well done.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58All the original toys are all in New York Public Library.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- What, on a day out? - LAUGHTER
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- No, they're on display there. - Oh, I see!- I've seen them there.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09It's all genuine Tigger, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Thank you.- It's a pleasure. - Now then, Richard.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Welcome to the show.- Thank you. - What do you do, Richard?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I'm retired from the Prison Service. - What did you do in the Prison Service?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22That's a silly question, isn't it? There's not many things you can do.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- I started as an officer.- And you finished as...- A governor grade.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Phew! I thought you were going to say inmate.- That's to come. - LAUGHTER
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- That's to come. - Yeah, get the full set. That's nice.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Now then, Richard, what are you going to go for?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's pretty... I think it's an OK board for me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'll go for The Water Babies and Charles Kingsley.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Charles Kingsley, says Richard, for The Water Babies.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's correct.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Very well done. Look at that! Five! Brilliant answer, Richard! Well done.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00APPLAUSE
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Great work, Richard. Really good answer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10Charles Kingsley also wrote Westward Ho! The town is named after it. The only town with an exclamation mark.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Mm. Now, James, welcome to the show. Great to have you here from Sutton Coldfield.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- What do you do? - I'm currently a civil servant, it's quite a recent change for me.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I used to work at a well-known bookmakers but I spent seven years taking people's money
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and felt quite guilty about it, so I thought I'd have a change of direction.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Which part of the civil service? - Er, it's HMRC.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30LAUGHTER
0:07:30 > 0:07:35So then, James, what do we make of this board? You are the last person to have it, so if you like,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38you could take us through it, fill in all the blanks.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I have read Winnie-The-Pooh, so I did know AA Milne.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The top one rings a bell. I used to read some books about...
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It was a group of girls that went to boarding school.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- I don't know why I read them. My sister had them lying around. - Top-shelf books?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- LAUGHTER - Second from the top, I think.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58But I'm going to go for the only one that I think is right and I hope I'm not mixing it up
0:07:58 > 0:08:02with the inventor of the steam engine. I'm going to go for Treasure Island and Robert Stevenson.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05OK. Can you be more specific?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Robert Louis Stevenson? - Ah! Thank you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Absolutely right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Our second lowest score of the pass. Well done, James.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Yeah, that's the book that brought him fame.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29He once donated his birthday to a 12-year-old girl.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32A 12-year-old girl told him her birthday was Christmas Day
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and he felt sorry for her so he donated his birthday, November 13th.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Sent her a legal document bequeathing it to her. That's quite fun, isn't it?- Wow!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- You could do that?- Well, I think it was a bit of fun.- Oh, I see.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- So every year, she could have that. - Yeah.- That's nice!- Isn't it?- It is.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Now, let's go through the rest of these.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- First Term At Malory Towers. - Enid Blyton.- Enid Blyton wrote the Malory Towers books.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Would've scored you 18. The Wind In The Willows? - Kenneth Grahame.- Kenneth Grahame.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02That would've scored 14. Let's go down to Swallows And Amazons next.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Arthur Ransome. - Yep. That would've scored 12.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07And The Lost Prince is a pointless answer.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I... Is this Oscar Wilde? - It's not Oscar Wilde.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- It's actually Frances Hodgson Burnett.- Ah!- It's pointless.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Very well done if you said that at home. Well done if you got them all.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Five, Richard. Charles Kingsley, brilliant answer. Very well done.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You and Jane have a commanding position in this round.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Then up to 40, quite a long way up, where we find James and Matt.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Up to 60, where we find Rebekah and Paul. And then it's a hike up to 100
0:09:34 > 0:09:37where we find Leah and Ellen. Ellen, who knows?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- There might be a brilliant answer on that board that only you know. - Hopefully.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43We have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53OK, we're going to put seven more works of fiction on the board, and here they come.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Remember, we're looking for the authors of these classic works of children's fiction.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Matt, you need to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Matt, welcome to the show. What do you do? - I'm an insurance underwriter.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Good.- I'm the reason your premiums go up every year.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31He says, chirpily. That's nice. And how long have you and James known each other?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Since sixth form, so probably about eight years, ten years.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- Mine.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43I saw a Michael Jackson question come up a few years back and I immediately wanted to come on.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Fair enough.- I don't know whether I'll get that today.- You never know.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49James the obvious choice to come with?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Yeah, he's a big Michael Jackson fan, as well, so...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55So you've equipped yourself for this question
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- just in case it comes up. - Very specialised knowledge.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well, that's good. So far, you're not doing too badly
0:11:01 > 0:11:05on children's fiction. Matt, how do you feel about this round?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm not very good on this one so I'm going to go for a safe answer.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'll go for The Hobbit, which is JRR Tolkien.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12JRR Tolkien, says Matt.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Let's see if that's right. The high scorers at the moment are Ellen and Leah on 100.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18You're on 40. 59 or less sees you through.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tolkien.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's right.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30You are through! Very well done! Look at that! 59 you needed, 59 you got.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- APPLAUSE - 99 is your total. Very well done, Matt.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well played, Matt. The Hobbit is one of those stories you hear about
0:11:37 > 0:11:40that emerged from stories he used to tell to his children at bedtime,
0:11:40 > 0:11:45which I always think means there's generations of people, when they tell stories to children at bedtime,
0:11:45 > 0:11:50they're sort of telling them but in their head they're going, "That's actually quite good.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55"Hold on a minute, I'm just going to write some of this down." The kid's going, "Finish the story."
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Don't you think? - Thanks, Richard. Jane.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Jane, you are on five. Brilliant answer from Richard in the first pass there.- Just as well.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09- Well, you say that... Jane, what do you do?- I do the accounts for a small environmental company.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Good stuff. What do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:12:12 > 0:12:19- I like going to the gym, walking, cycling in the sun, not when it's windy or rainy.- No.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22What are you going to go for? You want to be scoring 94 or less
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- to avoid becoming the new high scorers.- I think I'll go safe.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- The Tailor Of Gloucester, Beatrix Potter.- Beatrix Potter for The Tailor Of Gloucester.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Is it right? How many people said it? There's your red line.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well done, Jane.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- 15!- Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:12:44 > 0:12:4715, taking your total up to 20. Lovely low score. Well done, Jane.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Yeah, that was her third book after Peter Rabbit and Squirrel Nutkin.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55She said that was her favourite, The Tailor Of Gloucester.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Thank you. Now, Paul, welcome to the show.- Hi.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- What do you do?- I'm an electrician. - Good stuff. That's fine.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Are you an emergency electrician? - No, no, we install stuff.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11You install stuff for a well-known telecommunications company.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Good. Are they nice employers?- Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- LAUGHTER - Very eloquent pause there, Paul. Very eloquent.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- What do you do in your spare time? - I do a lot of caravanning.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- I like caravanning, dragging the shed.- You drag the shed.- Yes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- You don't go somewhere and there's a caravan already there?- Pointless. - Where's the fun in that?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Where's the fun in driving at normal speed?- Exactly.- Yeah. - It would upset everybody.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Yeah, it would. Motorists would hate that.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, Paul, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Unfortunately, I can't think of any name.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I know the books, The Railway Children and Tom Sawyer,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52but I can't think of the authors at all.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55So I'm going for Tom Sawyer...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- ..Mark Twain. - HE GASPS
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Ohh!- Pointless. Ooh!- Look at that!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Revelationary moment. Well, let's see if it's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Here's your red line. Get below that, you're through. Let's see how many people said Mark Twain.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's right!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Very well done, Paul.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Fantastic. 20. - APPLAUSE
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Takes your total up to 80. At the very last minute there.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Well done, Paul. That was skin of your teeth, wasn't it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Yeah, Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens is his real name
0:14:32 > 0:14:36and he'd had lots of other pseudonyms before he settled on Mark Twain.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- He was Sergeant Fathom.- Good name. - And Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, as well.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42LAUGHTER
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- He was. Before Mark Twain. - OK, fair enough. Thank you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- Now, Ellen. Ah, Ellen, listen, you're on 100.- Yep.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- No-one else has scored anywhere near 100 yet and you haven't given your second answer.- No.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- What do you do, Ellen?- OK, erm...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm a university student at Queens.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- And what are you studying? - Mechanical engineering.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm so glad you didn't say literature.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- OK. Mechanical engineering?- Yeah. - How long have you done that for? - This is my first year.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Enjoy it?- Yeah. - Good stuff. What are your hobbies?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I play hockey and I play the guitar, as well.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25OK. Now then, this board. It's quite tough. All the creamy biscuits have been taken
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- and just the slightly forbidding-looking shortbread ones are left on the plate.- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35It might become 200. I know some of the books, but I can't remember some of the authors.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I can't remember... The Railway Children maybe is EL White,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40but I think I'm getting mixed up with Stuart Little.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I recognise The Fifth Form At St Dominic's, I can't remember the author.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And I think I'll go Little Women.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think it's Alcott. I'll go AM Alcott.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- AM Alcott.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56AM Alcott. OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said AM Alcott.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00No! Bad luck!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Bad luck. I'm afraid you are joining the 200 club.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06An incorrect answer, taking your total up to 200.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- Sorry.- Unlucky, Ellen. Not a million miles away. It was Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Would've scored you 28 points.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- The Railway Children?- It was Nesbit. E Nesbit?- E Nesbit.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Again, EL White, E Nesbit. It's got an E in it. That would've scored you nine.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Captains Courageous?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30That's Rudyard Kipling. A Rudyard Kipling story. That would've scored one.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33He was fired from the San Francisco Examiner
0:16:33 > 0:16:37and in his firing letter it says, "You have no idea how to use the English language, Mr Kipling."
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Later went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. So there you go.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And The Fifth Form At St Dominic's is a pointless answer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50It's a tricky one, so very well done if you said Talbot Baines Reed.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Very well done if you got all of those answers, as well.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Slightly harder than the first board. - Yeah, I think it's much harder.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Well, there we are. Thanks. So at the end of our first round,
0:16:59 > 0:17:04the pair heading home with a high score of 200, it's Ellen and Leah. I'm going to miss them!
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Yeah.- Because of that laughter. - Yes, exactly.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But what if Ellen only laughs when she gets stuff wrong?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- She's come on the next show and get everything right and we'll not hear it.- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- They'll be battle-hardened next time. - But they'll bring cake next time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24It's win-win. Brilliant. Thanks, Ellen and Leah. Lovely having you on the show.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We'll see you again next time. Great contestants. Thank you.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- APPLAUSE - But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35APPLAUSE
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And so three pairs remain.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Richard and Jane, well done, the lowest scorers by a long way.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4625 you scored. Very impressive.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51And Paul, congratulations to you. You have managed to get rid of the Pointless jinx,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55the Pointless brain-freeze. You thought your way through it. Very few people can do that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Where did it come from? - Who knows?- Who knows?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Has that settled your nerves?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- You weren't nervous before. - No.- Has that...- Easy.- Good.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- LAUGHTER - Best of luck to all three pairs as we go into round two.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Our category for it is...
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Motor racing. Decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And whoever's going first, please step up the podium.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:18:27 > 0:18:31as many 2013 Formula One Grand Prix hosts as they could.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Grand Prix hosts, 2013.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Yeah, we're looking for the name of any country that's home to one of the races
0:18:38 > 0:18:40in the 2013 Formula One World Championship.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Any country that's hosting a Grand Prix in 2013.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47By country, we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50We won't accept the United Kingdom, I'm afraid.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53OK, Paul. What are you going to go for?
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- China.- China, says Paul. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said China.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It's right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- 26. - APPLAUSE
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- 26 for China.- Yeah, there's been a Chinese Grand Prix since 2004, held in Shanghai.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Thanks. Jane. Is this a good question for you?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It's not bad. I've just started watching it, actually.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'll go for Singapore.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Singapore, says Jane. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Singapore.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's right.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Well, 26 our only score so far and you fly past that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- 15. Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- 15 for Singapore. - Yeah, Singapore's a great answer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52It's a brilliant Grand Prix. It's the only night Grand Prix they have on a street circuit in Singapore.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Now then, James.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Being an old betting shop man, I did used to watch a lot of the races
0:19:58 > 0:20:01at work, they were often on the TV, so my memory...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Mind's gone to mush at the moment,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07but I'm thinking I'll stick with the Asian theme and go for Malaysia.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Malaysia, says James. Malaysia. Let's see if that's right
0:20:09 > 0:20:12and how many of our 100 people said Malaysia.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:1926 our high, 15 our low.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- You pass 26. 25! - APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- The second race of the season, Malaysia.- Thank you, Richard.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We're halfway through the round, let's see the scores.
0:20:31 > 0:20:3315 the best score. Very well done, Jane.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Maybe once again Richard and Jane will be the low scorers this round.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Let's find out. Up to 25, we find James and Matt.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Then 26, only one point ahead, Paul and Rebekah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So, Rebekah, you are the high scorers. Not by a long way.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49But we need a low-scoring answer from you to ensure your place in the head-to-head.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Best of luck. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Matt, we're looking for countries on the F1 Grand Prix calendar for 2013.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Oh, dear.- Oh, no, Matt!
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Don't know whether I'll know one of these.- Do you follow it at all? - No, I don't at all, to be honest.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14- Erm, so I'll say, er, France. - France. Seems fair enough.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Now, the high scorers on 26 are Rebekah and Paul, you're on 25.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22To avoid becoming the new high scorers or joint high scorers, you want this to be pointless.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Let's see. France. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Your red line is there, but it's right at the bottom.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Ooh!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Bad luck, Matt. Bad luck.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40An incorrect answer, I'm afraid, which scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 125.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Sorry, Matt. Always used to be a Grand Prix in France until 2008.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49But not in 2013, I'm afraid. I'm sure they'll have some in the future,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51but not at the moment.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Thanks very much. Now then, Richard.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Richard, good news. You are through to the next round,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00whatever happens. What are you going to go for?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- I think I'll go for Brazil. - Brazil, says Richard.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07No red line for you, you're already through, but let's see how many people said Brazil.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10It's right.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:22:16 > 0:22:1940 for Brazil, takes your total up to 55.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Yeah, traditionally the last race of the season, Brazil.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27In 2007, Hamilton lost the world title on that last race, and in 2008, he won it on the last race.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- It's always very exciting. - Now then, Rebekah.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Rebekah, the high scorers are Matt and James on 125.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39You are on 26. If you can score 98 or less,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43you are in... Oh, no! Is this a bad subject for you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- Yeah.- Well, listen, it's not impossible to make one up or to have a guess.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I'm going to stab at Germany.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- You're going to say Germany.- Yeah. - There's your red line.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59If you get below that red line with Germany, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Let's find out. Germany, is it right? How many people said it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Very well done, you're through!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- 61! - APPLAUSE
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Good enough, Rebekah. Takes your total up to 87.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Well played, Rebekah. Very well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Michael Schumacher, perhaps unsurprisingly, the record lap holder there at the Nurburgring.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It's a subject where there's always someone who knows answers, so no pointless answers.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29There is a one-pointer, though. Well done if you said South Korea.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33That would've scored you one point. The United Arab Emirates would've scored you five.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37One of the very old-school Grand Prix in Hungary, that would've scored 12.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41You could've had India for 14, Bahrain for 19,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Canada for 26, Belgium 27,
0:23:43 > 0:23:48USA 33, also Japan 33, Italy would've scored you 42,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Monaco, which unfortunately is not France, but very near it, would've scored 45.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55And let's take a look at the top three answers, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Australia would've scored you 46.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Spain, 47. So we know what the top is, Germany, 61.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's top there but enough to see you through, so well done.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Thanks very much. So at the end of the round, it's Matt and James we'll be saying goodbye to
0:24:09 > 0:24:12with their high score of 125. Oh, that was so unfair.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15France, what are they thinking not doing it this year?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- So close to Monaco, as well. - I know, yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Well, it was a good guess.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24And had you gone Germany, just a little bit further, you'd still be with us.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Anyway, there we are. We'll see you next time and we look forward to that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Matt and James. - APPLAUSE
0:24:31 > 0:24:35But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Congratulations, Richard and Jane, Rebekah and Paul.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49You are one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,250.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:55We have to decide which pair's going through to the final to play for that money,
0:24:55 > 0:25:00and to do that, you're now going to go head-to-head, but the difference is you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Well, Richard and Jane, it's been exemplary, you've been our lowest scoring pair in every single round.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Even halfway through each round you've been the lowest scorers. So very, very well done.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Rebekah and Paul, you've each had last-minute inspiration.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We had Mark Twain and we had Germany
0:25:18 > 0:25:21leaping to your rescue at the very 11th hour.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26You can put your heads together now. It takes a bit of pressure off, I think.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31APPLAUSE
0:25:33 > 0:25:36OK. Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42UK political party leaders, Richard.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I'm going to show you five images of party leaders as of March 2013.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51We just need you to tell us the party which they lead, please. Very best of luck.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, let's reveal our five party leaders, and here they are.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09There we are. Five party leaders.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Richard and Jane, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- What are you going to say?- On Jane's instructions, we'll go for B,
0:26:18 > 0:26:25- for the SNP, Scottish National Party. - OK. B, SNP, say Richard and Jane.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Now, Rebekah and Paul, do you want to take us through the rest of the board?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Paul probably will.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I can only think of three. C, D, and E.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38C is the Liberal Democrats,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41D is Plaid Cymru, I think.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And E is Monster Raving Loony. I'll go for D, Plaid Cymru.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49D, Plaid Cymru, says Rebekah and Paul. So we have the SNP versus Plaid Cymru.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Let's see. SNP say Richard and Jane. Is that right? How many people said it? SNP.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58It's right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Good answer! 30 for SNP. - APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Is it good enough? Rebekah and Paul have said Plaid Cymru for D.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Let's see if that is right, and if it is, how many people said Plaid Cymru.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Ooh! Incorrect, I'm afraid.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It sounded like you were right. I was sure it was.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Bad luck, Paul and Rebekah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29That means, Richard and Jane, after one question, you're up one-nil.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33D is actually Alistair McDonald, the Social Democratic & Labour Party.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35That would've scored you one point, a terrific answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You would've won the point, as well, with E.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41That is Alan Hope of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Would've only scored you 13 points.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Well done if you said that at home.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49A, that's Leanne Wood, and she is the leader of Plaid Cymru.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54It was a pointless answer, as well. And C, well, it's Nick Clegg.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57How many people do you think knew he's the leader of the Lib Dems?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's probably going to be 67.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04He actually would've scored you 49 points. 49 points.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08More than half the people couldn't tell you the party he leads.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Thank you, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Rebekah and Paul, you have to win this one, but you get to answer first.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It concerns...
0:28:17 > 0:28:23- Trees, Richard.- I'm going to show you five anagrams of names of trees. Can you name the most obscure?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26OK, let's reveal our five anagrams of trees.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29And here they are. We have got...
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- There we are. Rebekah and Paul, you go first. - THEY WHISPER
0:28:49 > 0:28:54OK, we're going to go for the fourth one, crib shrivel,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56and silver birch.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Silver birch, say Rebekah and Paul.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Now then, Richard and Jane, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:29:03 > 0:29:09- No.- We're struggling with these but we got the second one, so I think we'll have to go for the second one,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- which is monkey puzzle. - Monkey puzzle, nuzzle me poky.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16So we have silver birch and we have monkey puzzle.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Rebekah and Paul said silver birch. Let's see if that's right and how people said silver birch.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- 16! - APPLAUSE
0:29:32 > 0:29:3416 for silver birch.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Richard and Jane have gone for monkey puzzle.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said monkey puzzle.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45It's right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Now, is that going to beat 16?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Oh, no, not quite. It's 21. - APPLAUSE
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Well done, Rebekah and Paul. Silver birch has done it for you.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58After two questions, it's one-all.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- Let's take a look at the rest. Have you got any of these?- Horse chestnut.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Stench shouter is horse chestnut. That would've scored 12 points.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08So it would've been a winning score.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I think I can do the bottom one.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- The bottom one is the biggest scorer.- Sycamore.- Sycamore, yeah.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Sycamore would've scored 23.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19And the top one, cabal prep, and it's crab apple.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Crab apple. And that would've scored 14 points.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Horse chestnut is the best answer on that board.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes your decider. This is question number three.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38It concerns... David Hasselhoff.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- David Hasselhoff. Richard. - Yeah, we've done party leaders
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and anagrams of trees. Where else was there for us to go?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50We'll give you five clues to facts about David Hasselhoff.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54The team who picks the most obscure is going to go through to play for the jackpot. Best of luck.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about the Hoff.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I can't believe I just called him the Hoff. Here they are.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I'll read those facts one more time.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37There we are. Five clues to facts about David Hasselhoff.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Richard and Jane, you go first.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I only think I know one.
0:31:43 > 0:31:50- And I think that's the name of the talking car was KITT. - KITT, the talking car. KITT.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Rebekah and Paul, talk us through the board if you can.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56OK, the bottom one I think is Britain's Got Talent.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00But I think we're going for the top one, which is Berlin.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03OK, you're going to go for Berlin. Berlin.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Well, KITT was the answer Richard and Jane gave as the name of the talking car in Knight Rider.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's right.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- Ooh, 65! - APPLAUSE
0:32:20 > 0:32:24That's quite high. Rebekah and Paul have said Berlin was the venue
0:32:24 > 0:32:27of his New Year's Eve concert 1989.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Let's see if that's right and how many people said Berlin.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It is right.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Ooh! Beats KITT!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Wow! Down it goes. 20! Fantastic! - APPLAUSE
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Very well done.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48That means, after three questions, Rebekah and Paul, you are through to the final two-one.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Very well played. Looking For Freedom was the number-one single in West Germany
0:32:51 > 0:32:54for eight weeks during the period of re-unification.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58And KITT, you can buy KITT if you want. One of the four cars that was used in the series is up for sale
0:32:58 > 0:33:01for 150,000 if you fancy it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Doesn't talk, though.- Ah.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Let's take a look at the rest. You're right about Britain's Got Talent.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13Would've seen you through to the final. Scores 52 points.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17The song he released in 2006 was Jump In My Car.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19That would've scored you four.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22And the best answer on the board is the Mel Brooks musical,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25and it's The Producers, and that would've scored you one point.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Very well done if you said that at home.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Thanks. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Richard and Jane. Performed so well throughout the show up to this point.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well, pretty well in the head-to-head round, three correct answers.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Erm, you came up against Paul and Rebekah.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Pointless inspiration is in their favour, I'm afraid.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47But it means we get to see you again next time when I'm sure you'll do just as well if not better.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51But thanks for playing. Great to have you on the show. Richard and Jane.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53APPLAUSE
0:33:53 > 0:33:58- But for Rebekah and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final. - APPLAUSE
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Congratulations, Rebekah and Paul, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:03 > 0:34:05and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:13 > 0:34:17and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Now, I have a very good feeling about this.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29I always have a good feeling when people have a moment of inspiration. You've had it not once but twice.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And you owe it... Pointless has helped you.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's just nudged you through a little bit.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37I always think that usually results in some kind of jackpot.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41It's worth pointing out, the statistics don't back him up at all.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45It's sort of 50/50, really. But it's nice to have a hunch, isn't it?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Yeah, it's always nice to have a hunch.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Rebekah, how long have you been waiting to be on Pointless?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Quite a while, to be honest,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56cos we were obviously waiting for me to turn of age to come on Pointless.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Probably the day after my 18th birthday, we applied.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Look at that, and here you are, straight through to the final
0:35:01 > 0:35:04on your first, and I'm sorry to say, only appearance.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07But, as I say, I have a very good feeling about this.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Now, as always, you start this round off by choosing a category.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13You have four choices. They are...
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- Nottinghamshire? - Whatever's best for you. - It's near us.- I'll try and help.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It's near us? Is that your reason?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- OK.- We'll go Nottinghamshire. - Nottinghamshire.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Nottinghamshire. OK. Nottinghamshire it is. Richard.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Is that cos of how near it is to Rotherham?- Yes.- Apparently.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Fingers crossed for you. Three very different categories here for you to choose answers from.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Can you give us any full-length novel by DH Lawrence, born in Nottinghamshire?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Can you give as any of the cast of the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Any actor who received an acting credit in that film.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54And anyone who played in the 1979 or 1980
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Nottingham Forest European Cup-winning team.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So, DH Lawrence novels, cast of Robin Hood from 1991,
0:36:00 > 0:36:06or any player who played in the 1979 or 1980 Nottingham Forest European Cup-winning team.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Very, very best of luck. And good luck at home, as well.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12OK. As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:12 > 0:36:16and all you need to win that jackpot of £2,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21Now, the answers you can give can be from any of these three categories.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25There can be three from one category, one from each category, two from one, it's up to you.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29As long as they are answers from at least one of these categories.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32And you say which category it is from when you answer.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- You want Nottingham Forest players? - Yes.- OK. Do you know three? - Yes.- Do you know three good ones?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Yes, I think.- OK. I don't know any DH Lawrence novels.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48What about Robin Hood? Can you pop one of those in?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50If you know three good ones for the bottom one, just go for that.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- OK. Right.- Do you want to discuss it any further?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- I don't know football players. - OK. We'll stop the clock. Fantastic.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01You're not even going to bounce them off Rebekah, see what she says?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- I don't think so.- What's the point? - OK. Well, there we are.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Let's have your three answers, then.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Kenny Burns.- Kenny Burns.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Garry Birtles.- Garry Birtles.- And John Robertson.- And John Robertson.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Of those, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Kenny Burns. - Kenny Burns we'll put last.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Least likely to be pointless? - Garry Birtles. - Garry Birtles we'll put first.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35See, I told you I had a good feeling about this. Very, very best of luck.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Your first answer was Garry Birtles.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Now, obviously, it has to be correct.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44And if it is pointless, it will win you that jackpot of £2,250.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Rebekah, what are you anticipating spending that on?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Erm, I'll probably use it towards stuff for university, probably,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55cos I'm going in September, so hopefully buy some things that I need.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- A shatterproof ruler.- Yeah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Pens. Some cartridges.- Scientific calculator. Why not?- Good stuff.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Paul?- I'll probably just give it to her for university.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07LAUGHTER
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I hope you'll then give some back to Dad.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13He can have a tenner. He can go to the pub with it, that's fine.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- Have a drink.- Have a drink on me. - OK. Very good. OK.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23Let's find out, Garry Birtles, was he a member of the Nottingham Forest European Cup-winning team?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27He was.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31OK, if this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here immediately with £2,250.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35This is Garry Birtles taking us down through the teens, into single figures.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- He's still going down... Five for Garry Birtles. - APPLAUSE
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Five people remembered Garry Birtles.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47This is good, this is all good for the drama.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52And you had no hesitation, you put Garry Birtles first, Kenny Burns you had no hesitation putting last.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Your best shot. Your second answer was John Robertson.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01Again, it has to be correct, but for you to win that jackpot, it has to be pointless.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04So for £2,250,
0:39:04 > 0:39:10was John Robertson a member of a Nottingham Forest European Cup-winning team?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14He was.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Now, Garry Birtles took us down to five.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19John Robertson now taking us down through the 30s
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and 20s and teens, into single figures,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24down he goes past five, still going down.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- One! OK. - APPLAUSE
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Ah, Paul, I think you've ordered these expertly, may I say.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42At least, you will have done if this next one is pointless.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Two brilliant answers.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49An exceptional answer up on the board there, I like to think.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53This is your third and final answer. This is the one that has to carry it for you.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Your last shot at today's jackpot.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Let us find out, for £2,250,
0:40:00 > 0:40:06if Kenny Burns was a member of a European Cup-winning Nottingham Forest team.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Yes, he was! Garry Birtles took us down to five.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14John Robertson took us down to one.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Kenny Burns now taking us down through the teens
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and into single figures. Is he going to go...
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Oh, no! - APPLAUSE
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Oh, no!
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Oh, I'm so sorry. That was looking just perfect there.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Three brilliant answers.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Five, one and three.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41You'd be very pleased with that at any stage in Pointless.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44But I'm afraid, in this last round, they have to be pointless answers.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48I'm so sorry, you didn't manage to find that pointless that would've won the jackpot,
0:40:48 > 0:40:52so I'm afraid today's jackpot of £2,250 rolls over onto the next show.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54But you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- So very, very well done for that. - APPLAUSE
0:41:04 > 0:41:08That is unlucky. Rebekah, you've watched Pointless for many years, you were desperate to come on,
0:41:08 > 0:41:12you know how good it is to get those scores in the final. I hope you're proud of your dad.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Funnily enough, Paul, when I saw this question,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I went for Kenny Burns and John Robertson, as well.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I went for Larry Lloyd and he scored five, as well, so I didn't get a pointless answer.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26It's actually very, very tough, this one. There's only three pointless answers up there.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Two of them were subs.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31One of them was the defender Bryn Gunn,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35who came on for Frank Gray. He's someone that people might have got at home.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38He was one of the big defenders in that Nottingham Forest team.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41And John O'Hare, the striker, also came on as a sub.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45I'll give you some other low-scoring ones. Any other names you would've come up with, Paul?
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- I knew Frank Gray. - Yeah. Frank Gray is one that some people at home might have got.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Ian Bowyer would've scored you one, Viv Anderson would've scored one, as would Frank Clark.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Gary Mills, do you remember Gary Mills? Doesn't ring a bell at all. Scored two points.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Tony Woodcock would've scored you two. Trevor Francis was the biggest scorer there on 11.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Now, if people at home were concentrating on some of the other categories,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08let's look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13DH Lawrence novels. Aaron's Rod would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The First Lady Chatterley, The Plumed Serpent and The Trespasser,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19all of those pointless answers, well done if you said those.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Well done if you said one of those and a Nottingham Forest player.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25And the cast of Robin Hood, you could've had
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Geraldine McEwan, Mike McShane, the American comic,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Pat Roach, who was also Bomber in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36And Walter Sparrow, also a pointless answer. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39You played brilliantly throughout. I hope Pointless was what you expected.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43And I hope you appreciate how well Paul did there. It was terrific.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you. It's been brilliant.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thank you both so much for playing and playing so well.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Rebekah and Paul, everyone. - APPLAUSE
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Sadly, Rebekah and Paul didn't win our jackpot,
0:42:58 > 0:43:03which means it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £3,250.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
