0:00:18 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30All the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Our contestants must come up with the answers those 100 people COULDN'T think of.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE

0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Couple number one. - I'm Ralph and this is my mate James. We're from Leicester.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number... - APPLAUSE

0:00:46 > 0:00:47APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Whoo!- Why's Leicester getting applause all of a sudden?

0:00:50 > 0:00:54They love Leicester. Let's see how the other places fare.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Claire. This is my boyfriend Dave.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02- We live in south London and we're from Dublin.- Oh, good, good.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:01:04 > 0:01:08- And couple number three. - I'm Mary, this is my friend Eric.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I come from Bidford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and Eric comes from Evesham in Worcestershire.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17- APPLAUSE - Hang on. Let's do Bidford-upon-Avon first.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Yes. OK.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- And Evesham. - WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE - Oh, yes. Come on!

0:01:22 > 0:01:29- Sorry, Bidford. You lost that one. - Can I just say, can you boo the next town, whatever it is. A big boo.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34- And finally, couple number four. - I'm Lee and this is my dad, Michael. We're from Ayrshire, Scotland!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- CROWD BOOS - YAY!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER

0:01:38 > 0:01:43- Very warm welcome to all of you. These are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE

0:01:44 > 0:01:47We'll get to know all of you throughout the show.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51I have one more person to introduce, the man with all the answers -

0:01:51 > 0:01:56The Arctic Monkeys, Tenzing Norgay, the Charge of the Light Brigade to name but three.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01APPLAUSE Hello everybody. Hiya.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11It's weird how some places get applauded. If the first couple is, people have to applaud all four.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- The trick is how you deliver where you're from.- Yeah.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17See how the contestant from Glasgow said it - "I'm from GLASGOW!"

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- And everyone went "Oh, er... Hey!" - LAUGHTER

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Quite often I'm asked, would we ever appear on Pointless as a pair.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Today would be my perfect episode to appear on Pointless. First two rounds.- First two rounds?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Absolutely would play into my hands. - For you? How about everyone else?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Oh, I'd forgotten about you. Um,... LAUGHTER

0:02:36 > 0:02:39They're pretty... Well, Round One you might hate.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Everyone will have a pretty good go at Round Two.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Round One, some will love, some will hate.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47But I'm willing to swap places with anybody.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- James? Ralph?- I'm all right. - He's funnier than me.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54There you go. "Funnier than Ralph. BBC1."

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Leicester! LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Thanks. Now, all our questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 didn't get

0:03:05 > 0:03:10Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer, which none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17James and Sarah DIDN'T win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- There we are. - APPLAUSE

0:03:24 > 0:03:27If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Our first category today is...

0:03:43 > 0:03:44..football.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Problem, Eric? - MARY CHUCKLES - All good? Brilliant.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Let's find out what the first question is. Here it comes.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:04:02 > 0:04:07to name as many players who have scored 15 or more goals for England as they could.

0:04:07 > 0:04:0915 or more goals for England, Richard.

0:04:09 > 0:04:15Quite simply, we are looking for the name of any man who has ever scored 15 or more goals for England.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20There's about 30 names on this list. Very best of luck and good luck at home as well.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Thanks very much, Richard. Now, James and Ralph,

0:04:23 > 0:04:27you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- James, welcome back.- Thank you. - Remind us what happened last time.

0:04:30 > 0:04:35Last time I misremembered the name of a 16thC Italian Baroque painter.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Yeah. Carl Viaggio.- Carl Viaggio, yes. Not my finest moment.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Well, you were nearly there. - It would have been a good answer, if it was right.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Yeah. Carl Viaggio!

0:04:49 > 0:04:55- Anyway, remind us what you do.- I work in child protection. I do child protection training in schools.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58This is quite a good category for you, I'm guessing.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Yes, I got married in a football stadium, at Leicester City...

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Don't tell me you filled it? - Pretty much.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10We got to send the dog out. My wife wasn't too impressed but I was.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Were you chewing gum the whole way through?- Yeah!

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Now, good stuff. Let's have a nice obscure answer, maybe a pointless answer.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21After last time, I'm not going to take too big a risk here.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I can feel Ralph on my shoulder. Erm...

0:05:24 > 0:05:28So I'm going to play quite safe. I'm going to say Brian Robson.

0:05:28 > 0:05:34Brian Robson says James. Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well done.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Very well done indeed, James. - APPLAUSE - Nine.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Exemplary stuff.

0:05:49 > 0:05:55Good start, James. Brian Robson - got off to 27 seconds in the 1982 World Cup against France.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Now, Claire, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- You're from Dublin?- Yes. - You live in south London.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- When did you move? - I moved five years ago.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Dave moved over about a year later.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- So how did you meet?- We met in a bar. Dave was a bar tender.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13And I was a customer.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16That's a good relationship. That's good, yeah.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- What do you do, Claire? - I'm a management consultant.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21What do you do in your spare time?

0:06:21 > 0:06:25I'm really into music, so like going to concerts and music festivals.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Like going to comedy gigs, um... Reading crime fiction.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Good stuff. Now, football.- Yeah! - SHE CHUCKLES

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- More specifically, England. - English football.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- How are you feeling about this? - Um, not wonderful.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Um, so I'm going to go with something that I think is safe,...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47..but might not be.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm going to say Alan Shearer.

0:06:50 > 0:06:56Alan Shearer, says Claire. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Alan Shearer.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's right.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Nine our best score so far.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Shearer - 30. - APPLAUSE

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Safe, though.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well played, Claire. He's got 30 goals, Alan Shearer.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14He's also an honorary Doctor of Civil Law from Newcastle University.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18My favourite thing about Alan Shearer is he's just a few months older than me.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21And he always will be. Never going to change.

0:07:21 > 0:07:27Whenever I see him on TV, I think "You're a bit older than me, Shearer. That will never change."

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I can be 80 and he'll still be older than me.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34I'll be thinking "Yeah, younger than Shearer!"

0:07:34 > 0:07:38And between us, we scored 30 goals for England as well. LAUGHTER

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Good work. Now then, Eric, welcome to the show.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- What do you do, Eric? - I'm retired, long ago.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- What DID you do, Eric? - I was a teacher - religious studies mostly,

0:07:50 > 0:07:54but drama was my passion, so that was... enjoyed teaching that.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- A lot.- OK. What do you do with your spare time now?

0:07:58 > 0:08:02A lot of amateur theatre, going to the theatre,

0:08:02 > 0:08:04directing stuff,

0:08:04 > 0:08:09and enjoying getting people together to put a production on. Love it.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14Good stuff. So I'm guessing this football round plays right into your hands(!)

0:08:14 > 0:08:19It's a nightmare. I'm thinking of my age and I'll go back a few years,

0:08:19 > 0:08:23and wonder if I can drag up a name who may have scored goals,

0:08:23 > 0:08:27though I'm pretty sure he did score at least one.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29So... Geoff Hurst.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34Geoff Hurst, says Eric. That gets a nod from Ralph and James, so that's...

0:08:34 > 0:08:40Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Geoff Hurst.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42It's a good answer.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Down it goes! 17! Very well done, Eric.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Good answer.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well done, Eric. That's that out of the way. He scored 24 goals,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00including, famously, the hat trick in the World Cup Final.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Now then, Lee, welcome back.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06You're from Kilmarnock. What do you do, Lee?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm a law student at the University of Strathclyde.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- And what are your hobbies?- I love music and play a lot of sport.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- I like to play golf and tennis. - English football?

0:09:16 > 0:09:21- Not bad. I watch the Premier League, so I could be quite good. - What are you going to go for?

0:09:21 > 0:09:26I tried to think of pundits in Match Of The Day, because a lot of prolific scorers are on that,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29but I think I'll go for Dwight Yorke

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Dwight Yorke. OK, I'm looking at James and Ralph.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36Nothing but a tiny shake of the head from James.

0:09:36 > 0:09:42Dwight Yorke. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said Dwight Yorke.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ooh! Bad luck, Lee!

0:09:45 > 0:09:51I'm really sorry, that's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Sorry, Lee, I had to disallow that on a technicality,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58because he's not English. LAUGHTER

0:09:58 > 0:10:03To be fair, though, he scored 19 goals for Trinidad and Tobago, but, um...

0:10:03 > 0:10:07I wish I could give it to you. It's...

0:10:07 > 0:10:09We're halfway through the round.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let's take a look at the scores. Nine the best score.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15James and Ralph looking very strong on the back of that.

0:10:15 > 0:10:1817 the next best score - Eric and Mary.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Then up to 30 where we find Claire and Dave,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23and up to 100 where we find Lee and Michael.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Who knows, Michael, though. Anything can happen.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Low score from you might be enough to see you into the next round.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35Can the second players please take their places at the podiums?

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Remember, we're looking for footballers who have scored 15 or more for England.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Michael, you really need to find a low score here.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Is this a good category for you? - Yeah, I like football. It should be.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Remind us what you do, Michael. - I manage a betting shop.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Odds of you surviving this round? - I need to say 100-1 again, now.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- LAUGHTER - You joined the 200 club last time.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03That was your early exit last time, but I've a good feeling about this.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- What are you going to say? - Well, I can guarantee he's English.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I don't know if he's scored 15, that's the only risk.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- But I'll try Glenn Hoddle. - Glenn Hoddle, says Michael.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Let's see how many of our 100 said Glenn Hoddle, if it's right.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck, Michael.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26He's English, but didn't score 15 goals.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30I'm afraid that's 100 points and takes you into the 400 club.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- What about that? Very well done. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:35 > 0:11:38200 your total this time.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Just eight goals for England, I'm afraid.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Tough luck on that last podium.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45If you could combine Glenn Hoddle and Dwight Yorke...

0:11:45 > 0:11:52- Eric stole my answer. He said he knew nothing about football. - It's the only name I know!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Now, Mary, great news. Yeah!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58You're through to the next round, through to Round Two.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I know.- But it's not over yet.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02We need an answer from you.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I don't know much about football

0:12:04 > 0:12:09but I'll go for a player who I know is English,

0:12:09 > 0:12:11he MAY have scored that many goals.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16He went to school with my niece-in-law. Michael Owen.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Michael Owen.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Nice name-drop as well. That's good. - LAUGHTER - Your niece-in-law.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Were they in the same year? - Not sure, actually.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Did they get on?- Yes. Yes.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Michael Owen. No red line for you, you're already through..

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Let's see how many people said Michael Owen.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Absolutely right, Mary. Very well done.

0:12:40 > 0:12:4228!

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- 28, taking your total up to 45. - APPLAUSE

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Two very good answers there.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52You are the ones who were sighing at the start of this round.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'd be surprised if that wouldn't have got you through anyhow.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Richard?- Yes, the fourth highest score of all time from Michael Owen.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03He scored 40 goals. And he went to school with Mary's niece-in-law.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Yes, I was reading about that just the other day(!)- Yeah.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Very good. Now then, Dave, we come to you.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Welcome to Pointless, Dave. - Thank you.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13You used to work in a bar in Dublin.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18- I did.- What do you do now? - I'm an accountant. - Which of the jobs did you prefer?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- LAUGHTER - Bartender! Surprisingly enough.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Do you ever hand out free accounts to people these days?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Doesn't work as well with the ladies

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Nor should it. Nor should it, Dave.- Exactly.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- So what do you get up to in your spare time?- Um,...

0:13:34 > 0:13:36I run a cabaret night for charity.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- In Soho. For the Heart-Lung Unit. - Good work.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- How often do you do these nights? - Once every two months.

0:13:42 > 0:13:48- That's not too much.- Not too often. We get six acts on. It's good, yeah.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Good stuff. More good news, you're through to the next round.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I think you might have a good answer here.- We may as well take a punt.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00There's some obvious ones left, but I've got to take a chance on Stanley Matthews.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Stanley Matthews. Eric is nodding.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- LAUGHTER - Eric's now our... our resident nodder.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Stanley Matthews. OK. No red line, you're already through.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Let's see how many people said Stanley Matthews.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Ooh, no! Bad luck, Dave.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21An incorrect answer scores you 100 points. Would you have said that anyhow?

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- No.- No. OK. Well, 130 is your total, but you're through anyhow.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29I don't understand it, because Eric WAS nodding.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- I was going to SAY it.- Ah. He only scored 11 goals for England.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38Now then, Ralph, welcome back to Pointless. Remind us what you do.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I'm a prison governor. - A prison governor?- Yes.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46- Wow. How long have you done that for?- About, well, five years now.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- So you run the show there?- I'm one of a team.- A team of governors.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54No longer a screw, then? Or are you still a screw if you're a governor?

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I did a bit of time on the landings, but no, I'm in a suit now.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03- Time on the landings? In a suit? I've no idea what he's on about. - LAUGHTER

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- Well, I did a ten-stretch, as you know.- YOU did ten years behind the door.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- You were never in Parkhurst, were you?- You DO look familiar.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Now then, Ralph.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18You've waited patiently. You're through anyway. Lovely low score.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Let's see if you can equal or better that score.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25I'm going to have a little bit of a stab. I'm reasonably confident.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to go back in time and say Peter Osgood.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Peter Osgood. Ooh, James is liking that. Eric not so sure.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34LAUGHTER

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Peter Osgood. No red line for you. Let's see, is that right?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40How many people said it?

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Ooh!

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Peter Osgood. Well, worth a punt, as you say.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49But I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Takes your total to 109 but you're through anyhow.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Sorry, Ralph, you're only 15 goals out with Peter Osgood.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01He never scored. But genuinely, both perfectly good guesses.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06You know, you knew you were through, so well done for having a go at an obscure one.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11There are only three pointless answers here. Some people at home will have got these.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15George Camsell was from the '20s, so well done if you said him.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19He scored 18 goals in nine games, which is pretty good.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Johnny Haynes - some people say he's the greatest player Fulham ever had.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'd say Brede Hangeland - between the two.

0:16:26 > 0:16:32And Tommy Taylor, the United player who lost his life in the Munich air crash.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Let's look at some of the other low scorers.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40Jermain Defoe would have scored you one point. That's a terrific answer.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42From the very old days, Vivian Woodward would score one as well.

0:16:42 > 0:16:48Tony Woodcock, Stan Mortensen, any Liverpool fans who said Roger Hunt - they would score two points.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Steve Bloomer, Tommy Lawton and William Dean would score three.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55David Platt, Tom Finney, Matt Lofthouse, Martin Peters -

0:16:55 > 0:16:58those would have scored you less than 10 points, very good answers.

0:16:58 > 0:17:04Let's take a look at the biggest answers, the ones most of our 100 people answered.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06David Beckham, 41 points.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Gary Lineker, 44 points.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13And right up the top, Wayne Rooney, 45 points.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17Other big scorers - Bobby Charlton would have got you 32.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Frank Lampard, 21. Keegan would have got you 18. Steven Gerrard, 16.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Thanks very much, Richard.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27So our losing pair heading home with their high score of 200.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'm sorry to say it's Michael and Lee.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- What round was it last time you left?- Round Two.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Round One this time, I'm really sorry. Long way down from Kilmarnock

0:17:35 > 0:17:39It's been lovely having you. Great contestants. Michael and Lee!

0:17:39 > 0:17:41APPLAUSE

0:17:42 > 0:17:46But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55So we are now down to three pairs and at the end of this round another pair will leave us.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Anyway, the category for Round Two is...

0:17:58 > 0:18:00..bands.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK. And the question concerns...

0:18:12 > 0:18:16..'90s bands. It's getting better and better.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20- '90s bands. Richard?- We'll give you six clues on each pass

0:18:20 > 0:18:24to lead you to a band that had their UK Top 40 success in the '90s.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29For a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. For an incorrect answer, you score 100 points.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33There'll be 12 '90s bands to guess at home. Good luck.

0:18:33 > 0:18:39Thanks very much. So we are looking for '90s bands, as described by these clues.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Here is our first board. - HE READS CLUES

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'll read those all one last time.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02HE READS CLUES

0:19:22 > 0:19:25There we are. Six clues to '90s bands.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Ralph, you go first. It's the turn of the screw.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yes, not a brilliant category for me, bands from the '90s.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Especially not that list.

0:19:35 > 0:19:42But I'm going to have a go with "Fronted by Fran Healy, their debut album was named Good Feeling."

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- I think that's Travis. - Travis says Ralph.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49Let's see if Travis is right and how many of our 100 said it.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51It is right.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Good work! Look at that! 12. Well done, Ralph.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- 12 for Travis. - APPLAUSE

0:20:02 > 0:20:07That's a very good start, Ralph. In 2000, Q magazine named them the best band in the world.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- They were massive, Travis. - They were big.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13They were good, Travis, as well. Fran Healy still does stuff

0:20:13 > 0:20:17- and whatever he does, it's always good.- Always good.- Yeah.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Yeah, now, Dave. Dave, how are you feeling about this?

0:20:21 > 0:20:27Pretty good. It's just a matter of figuring out which one I think is going to be lowest.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32I think I've got them all, but I've got to go... I'm tempting fate now.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36I've got to go for "Liverpool band formed by John Power and Peter Wilkinson."

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- The La's.- The La's.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Yeah.- The La's says Dave.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Let's see if The La's is right and if so, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh, no!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Fabulous band.- Yeah.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Sadly, an incorrect answer scores you the maximum 100 points.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm really sorry. Not The La's.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01It's a good wrong answer. John Power was in The La's but Peter Wilkinson wasn't.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's another band we're looking for.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Ah!

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Wrong, for all the right reasons.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Eric, this board is all yours.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14You can talk us through it if you like, fill in all the blanks.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17HE SIGHS

0:21:17 > 0:21:22Did I follow bands when I was 50-odd years of age? I just don't know...

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Hang on... Whoa! Eric!- I'm sorry.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27You were 50 in the '90s?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- I'm 71 now.- You're incredible.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Sorry about that. - LAUGHTER - Wow.- It's all out of a bottle.

0:21:34 > 0:21:40- LAUGHTER - He's older than Alan Shearer is all I'm going to say.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46- And always will be.- He's older than Geoff Hurst, it turns out.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51You're in good nick, Eric, I have to say.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Thank you very much. Long may it last!

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Good stuff. Anyway, good luck with this board.

0:21:56 > 0:22:03Please tell me that the Irish group containing Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch was Westlife.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Westlife, says Eric.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Let's see if it's right and how many people said Westlife.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Oh, bad luck, Eric. - It was Boyzone.- Bad luck.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16It was a choice of those two.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19You plumped for the wrong band, I'm afraid.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20I'm afraid that's incorrect

0:22:20 > 0:22:23and that scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:22:23 > 0:22:23Very sorry.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Yes, sorry, Eric. Did you have another option?- Boyzone.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30It was Boyzone. They are virtually interchangeable(!)

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Would have scored you 43 points. A very good answer.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Let's clear up the John Power answer.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41After he left the La's he formed one of the quintessential '90s bands.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Cast, absolutely right. It would have scored three points.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46It's the best answer on the board as well.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47That's tough luck.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50The boy band with 11 number one UK hits was Take That.

0:22:50 > 0:22:5327 points.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- The band formed in Wigan, Xander? - The Verve.- The Verve, yes.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Absolutely right. Richard Ashcroft's band and do you know the bottom one?

0:22:59 > 0:23:03- I do. Blur.- It is Blur. Absolutely right.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I didn't know Seymour but I knew Leisure.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08We are halfway through. Let's look at the scores as they stand.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Only two of them, very much the best score of the pass was Ralph.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Ralph and James looking pretty strong and then Dave and Claire

0:23:15 > 0:23:20and Eric and Mary looking... they are quite far ahead on 100.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Yes, Claire and Mary, it's a

0:23:21 > 0:23:24battle between the pair of you to see who stays with us

0:23:24 > 0:23:26for the head-to-head and who will leave us at the end of the round.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29We come back down the line, can the second players step up to the podium?

0:23:32 > 0:23:36OK, six more clues on the board. Here they come. We've got...

0:23:54 > 0:23:56I will read those all one last time...

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Mary, what are you laughing about?

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Well, to have football and then pop music. Not a good day!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25If you can make it through this round, anything could happen.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28The pair of you can put your heads together

0:24:28 > 0:24:31and maybe you deserve a break but best of luck with this answer.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33What do you make of that board?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Not a lot!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39There's only one that I think I might know and I'm hoping

0:24:39 > 0:24:43that "The five-piece that Spiced Up Your Life" is the Spice Girls.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46The Spice Girls, says Mary. No red line, you are the high scorers.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Let's see if the Spice Girls is right and how many people said it.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52It's right!

0:24:52 > 0:24:5569.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57169, your total, Mary.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well done, Mary. Spice Up Your Life was their fifth single

0:25:01 > 0:25:03and their fifth number one as well.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Now then, Claire.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11We now have a high scorer, which is Mary and Eric on 169,

0:25:11 > 0:25:13which means 68 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15How do you feel about this as a round in general?

0:25:15 > 0:25:18I think I've got quite lucky here. My favourite band is up there.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21So, I'm going with "Formed in Birmingham,

0:25:21 > 0:25:24"fronted by Simon Fowler" - Ocean Colour Scene.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Ocean Colour Scene, says Claire. Ocean Colour Scene.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Here's your red line, if you get below that, you are in the head-to-head.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32How many people said Ocean Colour Scene?

0:25:36 > 0:25:37Very well done.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's a cracking answer! Look at that. Three. Very well done.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Best score of the round so far.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48103, your total.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Very good answer, The Day We Caught The Train

0:25:52 > 0:25:54and The Riverboat Song probably their best known numbers.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Did you go and see them back in the '90s?- I've seen them quite a few times.

0:25:58 > 0:26:03Very good. James, I think you can mop up here.

0:26:03 > 0:26:04I think, possibly.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Stay Another Day, I think is East 17.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10The first single in '97, I Know Where It's At, I think is

0:26:10 > 0:26:14a boy band, I would say Backstreet Boys but I wouldn't be 100% sure.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Manchester Britpoppers is Oasis.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21I'm going for "Most recent album named The King Of Limbs" - Radiohead.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Radiohead, says James.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Let's see if Radiohead is right. No red line for you, you're already through.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29How many people said Radiohead?

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well, it's right. Ralph scored 11.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Claire scored three, our best score of the pass.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37Are you going to beat that?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Oh, five. Not bad at all.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Five takes your total up to 17,

0:26:44 > 0:26:47the lowest score combined of the round by a mile.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Radiohead another very good answer.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52They are like the English Boyzone, aren't they, Radiohead?

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Let's take a look at the rest.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58Stay Another Day, you are right is East 17. That would have scored 34.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03The Britpoppers, it was Oasis. That would have scored 12.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04An amazingly low score.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08But the first single in 1997 named I Know Where It's At.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's not The Backstreet Boys. It's not a boy band. It's a girl band.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12It's All Saints.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Would have scored six points.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Ocean Colour Scene was the best answer on the board.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Very well played.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19Thank you very much, Richard.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23So, Eric and Mary, I'm afraid at the end of that round yours

0:27:23 > 0:27:26is the highest score. 169. But not bad.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31- You are not in the 200 club, not by a long chalk.- No.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32You've done very well.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36Well, twice now you've skipped past what might have been

0:27:36 > 0:27:38quite a challenging round. We will see you next.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40We look forward to that very much.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Mary and Eric, thank you for playing.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44APPLAUSE

0:27:45 > 0:27:49For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Congratulations, James and Ralph, Claire and Dave.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59You are now only one step away from the final and the chance to

0:27:59 > 0:28:02play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08So, we have to decide which pair is going through to the final

0:28:08 > 0:28:10and to do that you will go head-to-head.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13This time you are now allowed to confer.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19James and Ralph, we have come a long way.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Do you remember last time?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Way back, Caravaggio. - We remember it well!

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Well, we can put all that behind us

0:28:26 > 0:28:29cos you are the lowest scoring pair in a head-to-head.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34Mind you, neither pair is a stranger to the old 100.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36We've seen a few of those come up this show.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39You can't afford for that to happen this round.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head!

0:28:46 > 0:28:50OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...

0:28:53 > 0:28:54World Heritage Sites, Richard.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57I'm going to show you five pictures of World Heritage Sites.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00We need you to tell us in which country they are situated.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04As always, by country we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05Good luck.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08Now then, let's reveal our five UNESCO World Heritage Sites

0:29:08 > 0:29:10and here they are. We've got...

0:29:23 > 0:29:25There we are, five World Heritage Sites.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27We need to know which country they are in.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30James and Ralph, you've played best throughout the show so far so you get to go first.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35< THEY CONFER

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Yeah, we are going to go A, Australia.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43A, Australia.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47OK, Claire and Dave. Do your thinking out loud for us.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50We think C is the Taj Mahal in India.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53I'm guessing B, by the architecture, is Italy.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55It looks like a Coliseum.

0:29:55 > 0:30:00Don't have a clue about D and pretty sure E is in Cambodia.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04So, what do you want to do? I think I saw it in The Terminator movie.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I'm pretty sure it's in Cambodia.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11E, Cambodia.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15E, Cambodia, say Claire and Dave.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17A bit of a punt.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19James and Ralph, you've gone for Australia.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23Let's see if it's right and how many people said Australia.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26It is, of course.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29Wow, 44.

0:30:33 > 0:30:38Only 44 of our 100. OK, Claire and Dave, you've said Cambodia for E.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47It's right! Very well done, Dave. Very well trusted, Claire.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51And it wins you the question. Down it goes. Seven.

0:30:53 > 0:30:58Very well done, Dave. Seven points beats 44. Very well done.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02After one question, Claire and Dave are up 1-0.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Yeah, that's Angkor Wat City in Cambodia, a very good answer.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07I hope that's made up for the Cast/La's mix-up.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11Let's take a look at the rest of them. The Taj Mahal, it is in India.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14It would have scored too many points so Cambodia was the one to go for.

0:31:14 > 0:31:1774, that would have scored you.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Now B. It's a Coliseum. We can see that.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- It's North African, isn't it?- It is North Africa. It's not Italy.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28You can see it's not in the middle of Rome. There's your clue!

0:31:28 > 0:31:31It's in El Djem, Tunisia.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35Yes, Tunisia. That would have scored one point.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39And D you would find in Istanbul. It is in Turkey.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44That would have scored 12 points. Tunisia the best answer.

0:31:44 > 0:31:45Well done if you said that.

0:31:45 > 0:31:4935,000 people used to be able to fit in that Coliseum.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51- Extraordinary.- Wow.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Thank you very much indeed.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now then, here comes your second question. And it concerns...

0:31:58 > 0:32:01The Apprentice. The Apprentice. Richard.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04Yeah, we are going to show you five clues to facts about the BBC TV

0:32:04 > 0:32:07series The Apprentice. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:32:07 > 0:32:11OK, let's reveal our five facts and here they come. We have got...

0:32:27 > 0:32:30I'll go through those all one last time.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Now then, James and Ralph. You have to win this one to stay in the game but Claire

0:32:47 > 0:32:49and Dave you are going first.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53< THEY CONFER

0:32:55 > 0:32:57I think we are going for the woman who succeeded

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Margaret Mountford, I think is Karren Brady.

0:33:01 > 0:33:06Karren Brady, say Claire and Dave. James and Ralph, the board is yours.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Obviously the entrepreneur is Alan Sugar.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10And it is the boardroom

0:33:10 > 0:33:13but I don't think either of those will beat Karren Brady.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16The one we can take a punt on is the year, possibly.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20I think rather than throw it away on a one-in-five shot on the year,

0:33:20 > 0:33:23we ought to go for the one we know and hope we get lucky

0:33:23 > 0:33:26- and go for the boardroom. - OK. We will do that.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29We will go for the boardroom and hope it's...

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Some impeccable logic there, Ralph.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33You are going for the boardroom.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Claire and Dave have said Karren Brady.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Ralph and James have said the boardroom. Karren Brady, first.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44It is right.

0:33:47 > 0:33:5019.

0:33:51 > 0:33:5419 for Karren Brady. How's that?

0:33:54 > 0:33:56It's going to be touch and go.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00If I was going to guess, I reckon the boardroom would be around 30.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02I think we are struggling but we will see. Who knows?

0:34:02 > 0:34:05OK, let's see. James and Ralph said the boardroom.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if it's right and if it ends up around the 30 mark.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Ooh, 49.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Very well done.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Claire and Dave, after only two questions you are up 2-0,

0:34:23 > 0:34:24through to the final.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Tough luck, James and Ralph.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Too many points for the boardroom. Let's look through the rest of these.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Not a lot you could have done.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Perhaps you should have guessed the first year but the entrepreneur

0:34:34 > 0:34:39who decides who is hired and fired, absolutely right, Lord Sugar.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41That scores 81 points.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44If you had to have a guess at the year, what would you have gone for?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46- I would have said 2003. - I really hope it's not!

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- 2005.- That's good then.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Would have scored you five points.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54The next was the singer who shares his name with the 2012 winner,

0:34:54 > 0:34:58- I got it at the last second. Do you remember?- No.- It was Ricky Martin.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02Ricky Martin won the 2012 series. Four points it would have scored you.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05- That's the best answer up there. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07So, the pair who will be leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'm afraid they were our golden pair as well.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12James and Ralph. I'm so sorry.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Two perfectly good answers but the boardroom, good logic.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Quite a tough one. Do you watch The Apprentice?- Not for years.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Well, there we are. We have to say goodbye to you

0:35:22 > 0:35:26and this really is goodbye. It's been great having you on both shows. James and Ralph.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28APPLAUSE

0:35:28 > 0:35:32But for Claire and Dave, it's time for our Pointless final.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Congratulations, Claire and Dave.

0:35:37 > 0:35:41You've beaten all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49You now have a chance to win our pointless jackpot

0:35:49 > 0:35:53and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Well, I have mixed feelings about you being in the final.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00I mean, I am delighted you are in the final

0:36:00 > 0:36:02but it means we only get to see you once.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04That's very kind of you, Alexander.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Because you've been very good, very intelligent.

0:36:06 > 0:36:11Even when you've scored hundreds, Stanley Matthews, the La's...

0:36:11 > 0:36:12No, I was going to qualify that.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14They've been intelligent,

0:36:14 > 0:36:17they've been considered... woefully wrong answers!

0:36:19 > 0:36:23Anyway, the good news is from now on in, as you know, you confer.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26It's all down to what categories you can choose from.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33- First, you have to choose your category and here are your five options.- They are...

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Yeah. Interesting selection.

0:36:45 > 0:36:51- The only one I would know anything about is panel shows.- Panel shows.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I can't think what the questions will be.- Let's do it.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56- I suppose we'll find out. - Let's do it. Panel shows.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Panel shows it is.- Please, yes. - Best of luck.

0:36:58 > 0:37:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many QI panellists as they could.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07QI panellists. Richard.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10We are looking for the name of anyone who's appeared

0:37:10 > 0:37:14as a panellist on the BBC panel show QI on a broadcast episode

0:37:14 > 0:37:17of that since it began in 2003 to the beginning of 2013.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20Anyone who's ever appeared as a panellist on that show.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23One person we won't accept is Alexander Armstrong

0:37:23 > 0:37:25because there's a visual clue in the studio...

0:37:26 > 0:37:30..as to his identity! But very very best of luck, guys.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:37:33 > 0:37:36and all you need to win that £2,000 is for just one of those

0:37:36 > 0:37:39- answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Alan Davies is the obvious one.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Charlie Higson has been on it.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Um, I can't think of the little guy with the beard.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52He would be a pointless answer, I am sure.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Dara O'Briain in has been on it.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I can only think of obvious people.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Like, um...Jimmy Carr.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05Has Claire Balding been on it?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08Claire Balding has probably been on it. She probably has.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10We've got 35 seconds.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Who else? Any musicians, no?

0:38:13 > 0:38:15Writers?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Oh, the one that's married to David Mitchell.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Oh, yeah.- Victoria Coren.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Yes. OK.- Victoria Coren. Charlie Higson.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Dara O'Briain.

0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Yeah, we could go for him. - Anyone else?

0:38:35 > 0:38:40Oh, Reginald D Hunter has been on it. Let's go with him. OK.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42OK, I think we've got them.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44It sounds like you've got your three answers.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Time is now up. We were looking for QI panellists.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49I need to know what those answers are.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Um, Reginald D Hunter.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56Charlie Higson. And Victoria Coren.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Three brilliant answers.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Now, of those three, which do you think is

0:39:01 > 0:39:04the one that is most likely to evade our 100 people?

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Probably Reginald D Hunter.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09OK, Reginald D Hunter, we will put him last.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Which is the least likely? - Victoria Coren.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15She's on TV more often anyway.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19We will put Victoria down first, then we'll put Charlie Higson

0:39:19 > 0:39:21in the middle and Reginald D Hunter is your last option.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24OK, let's put them straight up on the board in that order.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28Here they are. Victoria Coren, Charlie Higson, Reginald D Hunter.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31So, we were looking for QI panellists.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Three very good answers.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36The first, Victoria Coren you thought was your least likely

0:39:36 > 0:39:40- to be pointless. She'll like that.- Oh, yeah.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Least likely to be pointless.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Now remember, only one of those answers has to be pointless

0:39:46 > 0:39:49for you to win the jackpot of £2,000. It's quite a nice jackpot.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52What would you do with £2,000?

0:39:52 > 0:39:56We've been thinking of going to Ibiza again this summer.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00My brother is building up a rather large family at the moment.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Perhaps buy some presents for the kids, they've got four kids.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06OK, somewhere between Ibiza and presents for your nephews

0:40:06 > 0:40:10and nieces. OK, very best of luck. Your first answer, Victoria Coren.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Let's see if it's right and if it is,

0:40:12 > 0:40:15how many of our 100 people said it. Victoria Coren.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Well, it is right. Down it goes.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23If this goes all the way down to zero you will be leaving here

0:40:23 > 0:40:27immediately with £2,000 in your back pocket. It's still going down.

0:40:27 > 0:40:32Still going down. Yes! You've done it. Look at that. Very well done.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35Straightaway! First answer!

0:40:35 > 0:40:37That is just brilliant.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39APPLAUSE

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Wow!

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Wow!

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Phenomenal!

0:40:48 > 0:40:52Whoa! Straight into the back of the net. Look at that.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Fantastic, congratulations. Victoria Coren, a pointless answer,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58which means you are leaving here with your trophies

0:40:58 > 0:41:03and £2,000 as well. What about those other ones? We'd better find out.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Richard.- Absolutely. Victoria Coren, a terrific answer.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09She only ever appeared on it once. Much more famous for presenting

0:41:09 > 0:41:12Only Connect - one of our favourite shows over on BBC Four.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16Yes, only been on it once. Charlie Higson, also a pointless answer.

0:41:18 > 0:41:19Very well done.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26And Reginald D Hunter...

0:41:26 > 0:41:30Three points. You can't have everything.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33That's terrifically well done. A very good answer.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36Let's look at some more pointless answers.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41There's a few familiar faces on this board. Ben Miller. Do you know him?

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Yes.- He's good.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47He's a really funny guy. What's that show he used to do?

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Um, yeah. Armstrong & Miller.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Oh, brilliant.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56Death In Paradise, I prefer. That's my favourite.

0:41:56 > 0:41:57Next, Chris Addison.

0:41:57 > 0:42:02Chris Addison is very good. He's in those car insurance ads.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05He's good in it but I don't like the guy he's with.

0:42:05 > 0:42:10- Do you know the one I mean?- Yeah. - But Chris Addison is great in those.

0:42:10 > 0:42:11He really makes them.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14I turn it on, I won't say what the company is

0:42:14 > 0:42:16but I immediately took out a loan with them and the other guy

0:42:16 > 0:42:21came on and I phoned back and said, "I'm so sorry, I will have to cancel!"

0:42:21 > 0:42:24David Walliams was on a Comic Relief special,

0:42:24 > 0:42:27that would have been a pointless answer.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Jessica Stevenson as she was, Jessica Hynes now.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31John Bishop was a pointless answer.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35Johnny Vaughan has been on alongside Graeme Garden.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Jonathan Ross was on a Children In Need special.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Shappi Khorsandi and Sir Terry Wogan has also been on once.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44There's a few other pointless answers.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Jack Whitehall, Dom Jolly, David O'Doherty,

0:42:47 > 0:42:49would have been pointless.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52Charlie Higson, we heard, Marcus Brigstocke was pointless,

0:42:52 > 0:42:56Peter Serafinowicz. Richard Coles, Rory Bremner, Ruby Wax,

0:42:56 > 0:43:00Tim Vine, also pointless. But Vicky Coren has won you £2,000.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01Very well done. She will be chuffed.

0:43:01 > 0:43:02She really will.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Claire

0:43:05 > 0:43:08and Dave who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000!

0:43:09 > 0:43:10Brilliant.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15Join us next time please when we will put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:17 > 0:43:21And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
