00:00Let's meet today's players.
00:06And couple number one.
00:07I'm Bill, this is Jean, my wife, and we're from Freckleton, which is near Preston in Lancashire.
00:12Couple number two.
00:13Hi, I'm Fez, this is my friend Ethan, we're both from London.
00:16Couple number three.
00:17I'm Peter, this is my wife Amy, and we're from Edinburgh.
00:20And finally, couple number four.
00:22I'm Chris, this is my wife Anne, and we're from Surrey.
00:25And these are today's contestants.
00:26Thank you very much indeed, all of you, a very, very warm welcome to Pointless.
00:32That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
00:34We've only booked him because his first name rhymes with clever.
00:36It's my Pointless friend, it is Trevor Nelson.
00:41They're getting better, they're getting better.
00:43Do you know an artist that made a song called Clever Trevor?
00:47It's not Ian Jury in the blockhead.
00:50Yes, Ian Jury in the blockhead.
00:52And I played that on my show recently, and my producer said,
00:54are you only playing this because it's this clever Trevor in the title?
00:57I said, yes.
00:57Yes, of course.
00:58I like it, but come on.
01:00I'd like it less if it didn't have my name in the title.
01:02Thank you, and Trevor's not a really fantastic name.
01:05It's not like Xander, it's not.
01:06It's a name that's dying slowly.
01:08I think it's a name that you are doing a tremendous amount for.
01:11Single-handedly.
01:12Single-handedly.
01:12I'm doing best.
01:13I think you are doing great, Trevor.
01:15Thank you very much, sir.
01:17There we are.
01:17Thank you very much.
01:18Now, Ian and Sally got through to the final last time,
01:20as some of you may remember,
01:22and they did not win the jackpot,
01:24which means we add another £1,000 to that.
01:26So today's jackpot starts off, mark my words,
01:30at £5,000.
01:33There we are.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Right, if everyone's ready, let's play time.
01:37Something for you to think about while you're playing.
01:44We always eliminate the pair with the highest score
01:47at the end of each round.
01:48So if you don't wish to be eliminated,
01:50keep your scores low.
01:51That's it.
01:52Best of luck to everybody.
01:53Our first category today is...
01:56Film titles.
01:59Can you all decide in your pairs?
02:00Who's going to go first?
02:00Who's going to go second?
02:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
02:07And the question concerns...
02:11The Something of Something films.
02:15I like it, Trevor.
02:16I like it too.
02:17I like it.
02:17On each pass,
02:19we're going to give you seven film titles
02:21that take the form
02:22The Something of Something or Similar.
02:25However, we've blanked out all the words in each title
02:27except for the and of.
02:30So we just need you to fill in those blank somethings
02:33and give us the titles to help.
02:34We're also going to give you two stars from each film
02:37and the years they were released according to IMDB.
02:41Good luck.
02:42Excellent.
02:42I'm looking forward to reading this board out.
02:44It's going to be fun.
02:45And here it comes.
02:47Our Something of Something films.
02:49The W of O.
02:51Judy Garland.
02:52Margaret Hamilton.
02:531939.
02:54The S of the L.
02:56Jodie Foster.
02:56Anthony Hopkins.
02:571991.

03:22And the S of W.
03:25Sally Hawkins.
03:25Octavia Spencer.
03:282017.
03:29There we are, Gene.
03:30Welcome back to Pointless.
03:31It's great to have you with us again.
03:33We must know more about you, Gene.
03:35I sing in a local choir.
03:37Do you?
03:37We do four to five concerts a year to fundraising.
03:42That's very good.
03:43What's the choir called?
03:44The Lydon Singers.
03:45They're based in Lytham St. Anne's.
03:47Very nice indeed.
03:48And how many of you are there in the choir?
03:49There's over 80 on the...
03:51Wow, on the roster.
03:52On the roster, but not necessarily all there at one time.
03:56But you can field a massive choir.
03:58Yes.
03:58If you do, what's the biggest gig of the year?
04:00We recently did one with a symphony orchestra doing operatic choruses and Rutter's Requiem.
04:08It was absolutely fantastic.
04:09How much fun that must have been.
04:11It was great fun.
04:12Wow.
04:13Excellent.
04:13Now, Gene, what about our board here?
04:15Have you had time to work out which one of these you'd like to go for?
04:18Hmm.
04:18The second one, The Silence of the Lambs.
04:20The Silence of the Lambs, says Gene.
04:23For Jodie Foster and Andy Hopkins, how many of our 100 said The Silence of the Lambs?
04:30It is absolutely right.
04:32And it goes down to 55.
04:33There we are.
04:34Solid start, Gene.
04:37And what a film?
04:39What a film.
04:40What a film.
04:40What a film.
04:41Amazing film.
04:42Silence of the Lambs.
04:43The American Film Institute named Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs
04:47is the greatest villain in cinema history.
04:50Second was Norman Bates in Psycho.
04:53Third was Darth Vader.
04:54Really?
04:55Yeah.
04:55I don't know if he's the greatest villain.
04:57What do you think?
04:57Oh, I think he was chilling in that film.
04:59Oh, he's chilling?
04:59He was.
05:00Is he the greatest villain in all the film?
05:01I can't name one.
05:03I think Norman Bates in Psycho is pretty bad.
05:05I think that's worse.
05:06Darth Vader?
05:08No.
05:08Hannibal Lecter.
05:09Yeah.
05:10No.
05:10I hit it your heart.
05:11No, but you're kind of encouraged to like Hannibal Lecter because he's sort of working
05:16for the team.
05:17No, I didn't like him.
05:19Hannibal was chilling.
05:21No scenes.
05:21No, I guess he was chilling.
05:22Walking into prison to see him.
05:23I guess he was chilling.
05:24No.
05:25An intelligent, scary man, Hannibal was.
05:27He would have wiped the floor with you guys.
05:29And then eaten us.
05:30He was that bright.
05:31Well, there we go.
05:31Ethan.
05:32Hi.
05:32You are most welcome at Pointless.
05:34It's lovely to have you here.
05:34Tell us all about yourself.
05:36I'm a dentist in central London, and I'm trying to see all seven of the wonders of
05:41the world before I turn 13.
05:42That is not connected to the dental work.
05:44I see.
05:44These are two separate facts.
05:47I thought I'm trying to see all seven wonders of the world from my chair.
05:50No, not quite.
05:51No.
05:51That's fun.
05:52So what wonders have you seen so far?
05:54The Taj Mahal and the Coliseum and the pyramids and Dan Cowart.
05:59Very good.
06:00I still need to see Chichen Itza and Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China.
06:04Amazing.
06:04Well, there we are.
06:05Get through to the Pointless final.
06:07There's a decent jackpot there that could help you tick some of those off, maybe.
06:11Now then, Ethan, the wall behind me has all these wonderful films on.
06:16I'm still struggling with a couple of them.
06:18I'm struggling with pretty much all of them, actually.
06:20But I think I'm going to play it safe and go for the top one, The Wizard of Oz.
06:24The Wizard of Oz, says Ethan.
06:26Shall we see how many of our 100 said The Wizard of Oz?
06:31The Wizard of Oz is right.
06:32Well, 55 is the only score we have at the moment.
06:33The Wizard of Oz is 62.
06:34The Wizard of Oz, from 55 is the only score we have at the moment.
06:38Yep.
06:39Well done.
06:40Scary characters in there as well.
06:42Yes!
06:42Yeah.
06:43These are showy every Christmas when I was little.
06:45Absolutely.
06:46And Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West, had the most scary laugh as a kid when you saw that.
06:52Yeah.
06:52She was actually a former kindergarten teacher who loved children.
06:56Irony.
06:57I have thought of a scarier person than Hannibal Lecter.
07:02Go on.
07:03The Child Catcher.
07:04Yeah.
07:05Absolutely.
07:05The Child Catcher.
07:06Absolutely.
07:06No question.
07:07Hang on down.
07:08The scariest thing on film.
07:09I agree.
07:10There we go.
07:10Anyway, thank you very much.
07:12Amy, welcome to Pointless.
07:14Lovely to have you.
07:14Tell us all about yourself, Amy.
07:16I'm from Edinburgh and I'm a retired civil servant.
07:20What do you love to get up to, Amy?
07:23I've now, well, our dog.
07:25I've made her a therapy dog, so I take her to care homes and schools.
07:31Was she originally?
07:31She wasn't originally.
07:32No, she was a greyhound.
07:34A greyhound.
07:34So she was a runner, but she's rehomed.
07:38Rehomed.
07:39And you trained her?
07:40Well, she's so lazy in general.
07:43I just got her sad, so she was fine.
07:46How very lovely.
07:48Perfect.
07:48Now, Amy, what would you like to go for on our board?
07:51I'm going to go for The Colour of Money.
07:54The Colour of Money for the Paul Newman, Tom Cruise.
07:58Shall we see how many of our 100 people said The Colour of Money?
08:02The Colour of Money is right.
08:0362 is our high score.
08:0455 is our low new pass.
08:06Both of those, Amy, down, back.
08:07Go to 21 and 51.
08:10Very well done.
08:13That's a real hustler's film, wasn't it?
08:15Yes.
08:16Paul Newman at his finest.
08:17The Colour of Money is a continuation of the story of fast Eddie Felsen,
08:22with Paul Newman back in the role he played 25 years earlier in The Hustler.
08:26It's a long time to do a continuation.
08:27It really is.
08:2825 years.
08:29Wow, but doing sequels.
08:31I kind of like those sequels, though.
08:33Yeah.
08:34The ones that give you space to breathe and you want them to come back,
08:37as opposed to let's just make money and churn it out.
08:39No, you're right.
08:40Yeah, right.
08:41Very good indeed.
08:42Now, Anne, welcome back to Point.
08:44It's good to have you with us again.
08:45Tell us more about yourself, Anne.
08:47We like to travel, and I've been lucky enough to stand on every continent of the world.
08:55There we are.
08:56That's good.
08:56When you say stand, does that mean you've sort of occasionally just left over?
08:59Oh, that's right.
09:00A foot on it.
09:01A foot.
09:02Maybe two.
09:03Which would you say was the one you would like to explore more?
09:08Antarctica was amazing.
09:11Which bit of Antarctica did you stand on?
09:12Just the peninsula.
09:14Right.
09:14But we were in a zodiac with the engine of, in the middle of a bay, with 25 humpback whales
09:22feeding around us.
09:24Wow.
09:24I mean, majestic.
09:25Majestic.
09:26A little bit scary, possibly.
09:27Scary, but you forget that they're there.
09:29You forget.
09:29Because it's just so magical.
09:32Yes.
09:33Very good.
09:34Now then, Anne, this is your board.
09:36Would you like to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
09:37I don't think I can.
09:39I am still not convinced by this, but I'm going to say, is it the Master of Zorro?
09:47The Master of Zorro, says Anne.
09:49Shall we find out if it is the Master of Zorro?
09:52Shall we?
09:55No.
09:56I'm afraid that I think you've now worked out what it might be.
09:58Have you?
10:00Marquis?
10:01No.
10:01Let's find out.
10:02That's 100 points.
10:03I'm afraid incorrect.
10:04Sorry about that, Anne.
10:05Oh, well, let's clear this board up.
10:06Should we start there?
10:07Well, let's do it.
10:08The Mask, aren't there?
10:09Yeah, it was The Mask of Zorro, Antonia Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
10:13Fun film, 30, that would have scored you if we go back up to The Last King of Scotland.
10:19Yeah.
10:20Good film.
10:20Idi Amin, 11.
10:21Yes.
10:22This one I am chewing with and chewing with, the 1964, the U of C, the Uncle of Charlie.
10:30The, uh, the, it's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
10:34Oh, no, I have heard of that, for goodness sake.
10:36Pointless answer.
10:37Yes.
10:38And the final one at the bottom, the most recent film on the board.
10:41I mean, I thought I probably would know every Sally Hawkins film.
10:44I can't remember.
10:44What is this?
10:45Shape of Water, which was the second best score on the board with four.
10:48Yeah, yeah.
10:49Thank you very much indeed.
10:52Well, we're halfway through the round.
10:53Let's have a quick look at those scores.
10:54I can tell you 21, Amy.
10:56The best score of the past.
10:56Very well done indeed.
10:58And from there, we travel up to 55, to Gene and Bill, from there to 62, Ethan and Fez.
11:03And from there, up to 100, Anne and Chris.
11:05I mean, they're not that far behind you, Chris.
11:08Yes, no.
11:08A lovely low score from you on the next board could be ideal.
11:12So there we are.
11:13Good luck with that.
11:13We're going to come back down the line now.
11:14Will the second players please step up to the podium?
11:16OK, let's put seven more clues to the Something of Something films on the board.
11:24And here they are.
11:25We have the W of W.S.
11:29Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, 2013.
11:33The G of N.
11:34David Niven, Anthony Quinn, 1961.
11:37The T of M.
11:39Denzel Washington, Francis McDormand, 2021.
11:42The J of the N.
11:44Michael Douglas.
11:45Kathleen Turner, 1961.
11:47The P of H.
11:48Will Smith, Jaden Smith, 2006.
11:52The S of M.
11:53Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, 1965.
11:56And the P of T.
11:58Barbara Streisand, Nick Nolte, 1991.
12:02There we are, Chris.
12:04Welcome back to Pointless.
12:06Good to have you with us a second time.
12:08And I must say, thank you very much for my honey.
12:11I have been told you have brought honey.
12:13I have.
12:14I promise it's not a bribe.
12:15Oh, no, it works.
12:17It'll be a bribe.
12:18You, you, listen, ignore.
12:19Don't worry about the high score.
12:20It's fine.
12:21Thank you very much indeed for that.
12:23Tell us other things among your interests, apart from your beekeeping.
12:27I have a weird obsession with the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
12:32I've been following them for years, ever since I've read in a Stephen King book that that was the team that he liked.
12:39And I just started following them.
12:41So I have to watch the kind of highlights every day.
12:43Every day.
12:44Catch up with the Red Sox.
12:45Yeah.
12:45What other things of Stephen King's have you followed abishly?
12:49Yeah, well, I like the films and the books.
12:51Exactly.
12:51Yeah, obviously.
12:52Follow all of those.
12:53Yeah.
12:53Yeah, terrific.
12:54Now, listen, Chris, you are high scorers at the moment.
12:57Yeah.
12:58Let's see what a lovely low score and a jar of honey can do for you.
13:03I'm struggling here.
13:04I'll go for the bottom one.
13:05I think it's the Prince of Thieves.
13:07The Prince of Thieves at the bottom there.
13:08Shall we see?
13:09There's no red line for you as you are the high scorers.
13:12Shall we see how far down the column we get with the Prince of Thieves?
13:19That's a shame.
13:20I'm afraid that's incorrect.
13:21Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
13:23You are the newest members of the 200 club.
13:26Bad luck, Chris.
13:27There was Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, around the same time, but it didn't star those actors.
13:33It was Kevin Costner.
13:34Yeah, Kevin Costner.
13:36Oh, there.
13:37Yes.
13:37The honey didn't work.
13:39No.
13:40And apparently I've got some coming as well, haven't I?
13:43And it's, don't try and bribe us, guys.
13:46It doesn't work.
13:46Don't listen to him.
13:47Of course you try and bribe us.
13:49The word being try.
13:52Keep trying.
13:53Thank you very much indeed, Peter.
13:55Welcome to Binders.
13:56Hello.
13:56Great to have you here.
13:58Tell us all about yourself.
13:59I work for a bank in Edinburgh and I'm heavily into horse racing.
14:05So I own shares in racehorses and I've been to every race course in Great Britain.
14:09There we are.
14:10And a few abroad.
14:11What took you up to Edinburgh?
14:12The job.
14:13The job?
14:14That I have.
14:14So I've been up there 17 years.
14:16I think Edinburgh is the most beautiful place in the world.
14:18I've said it before.
14:19I'll say it again.
14:20I mean, it's the most magical place.
14:22And apart from the horse racing, what else do you like to get up to?
14:24I play a little bit of snooker and billiards for a team in Edinburgh as well.
14:28With varying degrees of success.
14:30Okay.
14:31Now then, listen.
14:32You are through to round two.
14:33It doesn't matter what you score here.
14:34However, I bet you've got a nice nifty low score.
14:38I'm going to go for the one with the best associated song, I think.
14:41I'm going to go for the Jewel of the Nile.
14:42The Jewel of the Nile, says Peter.
14:45Shall we see...
14:46Was that a Phil Collins one?
14:48No.
14:49No, Billy Ocean.
14:49Of course it was.
14:50Of course it was.
14:51That going gets tough.
14:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said.
14:53There's no red line for you.
14:54You're already through.
14:55How many people said the Jewel of the Nile?
15:00Jewel of the Nile is absolutely right.
15:04Down you go to Circle Nine.
15:05Very well done.
15:06I'm taking your third life for a lovely, neat 60.
15:08I love what Peter did there.
15:10Talked about the music in the movie.
15:12That's why you plug...
15:13And you're absolutely right.
15:14Jewel of the Nile, really entertaining film.
15:16The film featured the Billy Ocean song,
15:18When the Going Gets Tough.
15:19The Tough Get Going, which spent four weeks at number one.
15:22Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito,
15:25who also starred in the film All White Suits
15:27and performed in its video.
15:28The video was brilliant as well, right?
15:30Yeah.
15:30Love that film.
15:31Thank you very much indeed.
15:32Now then, Fez, welcome to Pointless.
15:35Thank you very much.
15:35It is terrific to have you here.
15:37Tell us all about yourself, Fez.
15:38I work as an account manager for one of the three main food delivery platforms.
15:43Food delivery platforms.
15:45Yeah.
15:45I think I know the three.
15:46Marvellous.
15:47And when you are not managing that account,
15:49what do you like to get up to?
15:50What thrills you, Fez?
15:51At the moment, I'm trying my best to become proficient at as many sports as possible.
15:57So I work my way through a list.
15:58This is good.
15:59What's top of the tree sports-wise for you?
16:01I played American football for a few years at university, so probably that.
16:05Probably that.
16:06Okay.
16:06Now, Fez, you're on 62.
16:07It does not matter what you score.
16:08You are through to the next round.
16:10Come what may.
16:10I bet you've got a lovely answer here.
16:12I'll be very honest.
16:13The other board is better for me,
16:15so I'm going to go for the riskier of the two that I do know,
16:18The Pursuit of Happiness.
16:19The Pursuit of Happiness.
16:21Will Smith, Jaden Smith,
16:22should we see how many of our 100 people said The Pursuit of Happiness?
16:24No red line.
16:25You're through.
16:28The Pursuit of Happiness is absolutely right.
16:31And it takes you down to 12.
16:34Very well done indeed.
16:35Lovely little score.
16:3674, your total.
16:38That was an incredibly moving film as well.
16:40I think I came out of the cinema with a tear in my life.
16:42Based on the true story,
16:44Will Smith starred with his eight-year-old son, Jaden,
16:46as a single father struggling to build his career
16:49whilst coping with homelessness and being a single parent.
16:52As a dad.
16:54You could not be moved watching The Pursuit of Happiness.
16:57It was deep.
16:57I cried episodes of Grand Designs.
16:59I mean, really.
17:00It doesn't take much.
17:02Are you for real, Zander?
17:03I know.
17:06I know, right?
17:07Yeah, yeah, I do.
17:09Listen, I'll tell you what I really do cry at films.
17:11On planes.
17:13Yeah, well, you've got to style it out when you're on a plane.
17:16Yeah.
17:16Do you watch a film on a plane?
17:18And sometimes, I've watched films on planes.
17:20Well, I don't know about crying.
17:21There's scenes that may pop up.
17:23And I wonder if people walking past thinking,
17:24he's a bit of a one, isn't he?
17:27I didn't know this was going to be happening.
17:29I'm in the aisle seat and I'm sitting there going,
17:31oh, I didn't know that was going to happen.
17:36Now, Bill, welcome back.
17:37Great to have you with us a second time.
17:38Let's hear more about you, Bill.
17:40Well, after careers in the civil service and school transport,
17:43I've now got a third career,
17:45which is an unpaid dog walker
17:47for my daughter's English bull terrier called Freddy.
17:51Oh.
17:52Is Freddy well behaved?
17:53No.
17:54He's the most stubborn, awkward dog
17:56you've ever met in your life.
17:57Oh.
17:58He was bred as a show dog,
18:00but because his eyes were different colours,
18:03he was no use for showing.
18:04Oh, no.
18:04So he's got a bit of an attitude about that.
18:06Wow, so David Bowie dog.
18:07Yeah.
18:08So if he sits down...
18:10There you are.
18:10That's it, you're not going anywhere.
18:12So he's quite a lot of lead work.
18:13Oh, yes, yes.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Oh, dear.
18:16Now, Bill, you're on 55,
18:17you are through to the next round.
18:18Would you like to talk us through this board?
18:20I know two of the ones that are left.
18:22The second one down is The Guns of Navarone
18:23and the second bottom on The Sound of Music.
18:26So I'll go for The Guns of Navarone.
18:27The Guns of Navarone, a terrific film.
18:30Shall we see how many of our 100 said that?
18:31No red line?
18:32You're already through.
18:35Guns of Navarone.
18:39Terrific.
18:40Down and good to 30.
18:41Very well done.
18:4185.
18:42Your turn.
18:44That was a star-study cast in The Guns of Navarone, wasn't it?
18:47Yeah.
18:48They don't make films like that, anymore.
18:49No, they don't.
18:50Anything else you'd like on this board?
18:52The Wolf of Wall Street, the top.
18:54Yeah, 34, that would have scored you.
18:57The Sound of Music, obviously.
18:58There it is.
18:59The Sound of Music, 49.
19:01Yeah.
19:01That was the highest score on the board.
19:03Do you know what?
19:04I was so convinced by the Prince of Thieves that I now can't get it out of my head, and
19:08I can't think what that is.
19:08It's close.
19:09What is it?
19:10It's close.
19:10It's close.
19:11The Prince.
19:12It is the Prince.
19:13Yeah.
19:13Of?
19:15Tides.
19:15Yes.
19:16Yes.
19:17And that would have scored you two.
19:18Ah.
19:19Not the lowest score on the board.
19:21There is one more.
19:23No.
19:23This is Francis McDormand.
19:25It's quite a recent film.
19:26Yes.
19:27Joel Cohen, one of the famous Cohen brothers.
19:30This is a Shakespeare play.
19:31Right up your street, sir.
19:32It's a Shakespeare play?
19:34Or it's based on a Shakespeare play?
19:35Yeah, with a twist.
19:36The tragedy.
19:38Of Macbeth.
19:38Yes.
19:39Pointless answer.
19:40Well, thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
19:41That brings us to the end of our first round.
19:42It means we have to say goodbye to our first pair.
19:44Oh, Chris and Anne, I'm so sorry.
19:47You are our high scorers.
19:49200 club, though.
19:50That's their...
19:50That's good.
19:51As it perks.
19:51Sounds good.
19:52Thank you so much for playing.
19:53We'll see you next time for the third and final show.
19:55But, yeah, brilliant.
19:56Chris and Anne.
19:58For the remaining three pairs, though,
19:59now it's time for round two.
20:05Very, very well done indeed, everybody.
20:08Terrific work there.
20:09Our lowest individual scorer, Fez.
20:11Fabulous work there.
20:13And Peter and Amy were all those combined scorers.
20:15So very well done to you.
20:17Best of luck to all three pairs.
20:18Our category for round two today is...
20:22Space.
20:24Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
20:26who's going to go second?
20:27And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
20:33And the question concerns...
20:35Planets, dwarf planets, or moons containing the letters S, B, A, C, or E, Trevor.
20:44We are looking for any known planet, dwarf planet or moon in our solar system named by the International Astronomical Union that contains at least one of the letters of the word space.
20:56This is all according to the NASA website as of June 2024.
21:02Fabulous.
21:03Jean, we come to you.
21:04Oh, I can see how thrilled you are.
21:06What a fun subject this is for people who don't know about astronomy.
21:10Um, what are we thinking?
21:14Pollux.
21:15Yeah, no, all right, no need for that.
21:18Um, you're going to say Pollux.
21:22Pollux.
21:22Okay, all right, thank you very much.
21:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pollux.
21:28Oh, no.
21:30I'm so sorry, Jean.
21:31I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer that scores you 100 points.
21:34It may not be the last 100 points of the round, be assured.
21:37Pollux is a star, not a moon.
21:40That's the problem.
21:42There we are, thank you.
21:43Amy, what are you thinking?
21:45I'm going to go for, uh, Jupiter.
21:48Jupiter, says Amy.
21:50Shall we see how many of our 100 people said Jupiter?
21:56Jupiter's right.
21:59Jupiter scored 52.
22:00Jupiter's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium, so well done.
22:08Thank you very much, indeed.
22:10Now then, Fez.
22:12It would be silly to come onto Pollux and not take a risk, so I'm going to say Titan.
22:17Titan, says Fez.
22:19Shall we see how many of our 100 said Titan?
22:23Titan is right.
22:25100 is our high score.
22:2653 is our low score.
22:27You pass both of those.
22:30And down goes seven.
22:31Very well done, indeed, Fez.
22:33As you say, it would be silly to come on pointless and not take a risk.
22:36That is a catchphrase.
22:38That was incredible that he took a risk when he didn't need to, Fez.
22:41You're a risk taker.
22:42Well done there.
22:43Titan, moon discovered by Hygians.
22:46Marvellous.
22:47Thank you very much, indeed.
22:48Well, we're halfway through the round.
22:49Let's have a quick recap of the scores.
22:50Seven, the best score of the past, Fez.
22:51Very well done, indeed.
22:5253 is where we find Peter and Amy.
22:54And then 100 is where we find Gene and Bill.
22:56I am so sorry.
22:57Bill, let's see what happens in the next.
22:59Plus, I said it won't be the last 100, and it may not be.
23:02Let's hope it's not your 100, though, as I was talking about.
23:06We're going to come back down the line now.
23:07Will the second players please step up to the podium?
23:12Okay, so we are looking for planets, dwarf planets, or moons,
23:15containing the letters S-P-A-C or E.
23:19Ethan, you are our low scorers on seven.
23:22A score of 92 or less gets you straight into the head-to-head.
23:26Great.
23:26I'm going to go for Phobos.
23:28It's a moon of Mars.
23:30Phobos.
23:30Oh, they know their moons.
23:32I'm saying.
23:32These are moon-savvy people.
23:34These guys.
23:36Phobos.
23:36You get a red line and everything, and it is here.
23:40Shall we see where we end up with Phobos?
23:43It is right.
23:44You are in the head-to-head.
23:50Ah, two for Phobos.
23:52Taking your third luck to nine.
23:53Very well done indeed, Ethan.
23:55Fantastic answer.
23:56A moon discovered in 1877.
23:59Very nice.
24:01Um, now then, Peter.
24:03Yes.
24:04Um, I was going to say Titan, but that puts me all out with moons.
24:07So we'll just have to go for a planet.
24:09I'll go for Neptune.
24:11Neptune.
24:11Says Peter, you're on 53.
24:1346 or less would see you straight into the head-to-head.
24:15Let's see how many of our 100 said Neptune.
24:17You get a red line, and it is here.
24:19Well done.
24:25You're through.
24:25Oh, just.
24:2640.
24:26Taking your third luck to 93.
24:28Fantastic work.
24:30Well done.
24:30Neptune is a windy planet.
24:32Winds that can whip clouds of frozen methane across the planet are over 1,200 miles per hour.
24:38Not a place you'd want to go for a little picnic.
24:41Oh, no.
24:42A thing of the sand on the beaches.
24:43A little chilly.
24:45A little chilly.
24:45A little chilly.
24:46Okay.
24:47So, we then come to you, Bill.
24:48I'm sorry to say you are our high scorers.
24:50How good are you on planets or planets and moons?
24:52Not good.
24:53Not good.
24:53No, I'm afraid I would be with you on 100, I'm afraid, if not 200 by now.
24:57We'll go for Pluto.
24:58Pluto.
24:59Says Bill.
25:00No red line.
25:01You're the high scorers.
25:01How many of our 100 said Pluto?
25:05Pluto's right.
25:08And down he goes 57.
25:10Your total is 150.
25:11Once our solar system's ninth planet, it's now a dwarf planet.
25:15It was downgraded in 2006, after the classification of planets was redefined.
25:20That must be a bore for Pluto.
25:21I mean, absolutely.
25:22Downgraded.
25:23Yeah.
25:23To get downgraded is just a feeling of...
25:27I mean, for your size as well.
25:29Yeah.
25:30You know.
25:30You're not big enough.
25:32Yeah.
25:32No, I'm not.
25:33Do you know what?
25:33Yeah.
25:34There were 170 answers.
25:36And lots of them were pointless.
25:37They were mostly moons.
25:38But there's a couple of dwarf planets too.
25:40If you look at the board.
25:42Belinda.
25:43Caliban.
25:44Calypso.
25:45A moon of Satan.
25:46A Satan.
25:47Saturn.
25:50I always get them confused, Satan and Saturn.
25:53Yes.
25:53It's so easy.
25:54Yeah.
25:55You could have had...
25:56Eris.
25:57Oh, please.
25:58Help me out here, Xander.
25:59Oh, Hamir?
26:00Yes.
26:01And this...
26:01My sister's name, Ophelia.
26:03Ah.
26:03It's a planet.
26:05Phoebe.
26:06Styx.
26:07And Phoebe.
26:08Well done at home if you've got any of those.
26:10Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
26:11Well, that brings us to the end of our second round.
26:12And it means we have to say goodbye to another pair.
26:14And Bill and Jean, you are that pair.
26:16Our two veteran pairs have left the show, leaving just our newbies.
26:20We'll see you again next time.
26:22Look forward to it.
26:22Bill and Jean, thank you very much.
26:25For the remaining two pairs, though, it is now time for the head to head.
26:33Congratulations, Ethan and Fez, Peter and Amy.
26:36You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently
26:40stands at £5,000.
26:44However, before we play the head to head, we have a chance to throw some more money into
26:47that jackpot by seeing if we can find a couple of pointless answers.
26:50Just for fun, here goes.
26:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many members of Black Sabbath as they could, Trevor.
27:03You're going to see six options.
27:05Two are scoring, two are pointless, and two are not members of Black Sabbath at all.
27:10£250 in the jackpot.
27:11Each pointless answer.
27:13Thank you very much indeed.
27:14So, let's reveal our six potential pointless Black Sabbath members.
27:19And here they are.
27:21Vinnie Appercy, Ronnie James Dio, Jeff Nichols, John Carpenter, Marston Green, and Cozy Powell.
27:31There we are.
27:32Can you find the pointless answers in there?
27:34Does anybody know anything?
27:35No.
27:36Absolutely nothing.
27:37In which case, I'm going to come straight to you, Ethan and Fez.
27:39Which of those would you like to nominate as a pointless Black Sabbath member?
27:44We'll go for Vinnie.
27:45We're going to go for Vinnie Appercy.
27:47Shall we see if Vinnie Appercy is a pointless member of Black Sabbath?
27:52Vinnie Appercy, most definitely a member of Black Sabbath?
27:56100%.
27:56Come on, Vinnie.
28:01One.
28:02Toying with us, Vinnie, sir.
28:05Peter and Amy.
28:06I've got no idea.
28:08Go ahead.
28:09Apart from Ozzy Osbourne, no clue.
28:12Cozy Powell.
28:13Yeah, let's go Cozy Powell.
28:14Shall we go Cozy?
28:14Yeah, let's go Cozy.
28:15Cozy Powell.
28:16Appoint as a member of Black Sabbath?
28:17Hmm?
28:19Ooh.
28:20Ooh.
28:21A member of Black Sabbath.
28:26Ah, very well done.
28:28Yay.
28:30Very well done.
28:33Brilliant.
28:34Cozy being the only person I actually know on that board.
28:36He played drums in Black Sabbath in the 80s and 90s.
28:39He previously played in Rainbow and, of course, a pointless answer.
28:42Brilliant.
28:43So, Ronnie James Dio was in Black Sabbath.
28:46He replaced Ozzy Osbourne as Black Sabbath's lead singer.
28:49That would have scored you 11.
28:50Jeff Nichols was a pointless answer.
28:53He played keyboards, guitar and bass for the band.
28:55John Carpenter, he's not in Black Sabbath.
28:58John Carpenter is a film director and he directed Prince of Darkness, which is also the nickname
29:04of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne.
29:07Marston Green being the final red herring.
29:09That's an address.
29:10Yes, it is.
29:12It's a village.
29:13Yeah.
29:13In Birmingham, where Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne was actually born.
29:17There we are.
29:18Fabulous.
29:19Thank you very much indeed and well done.
29:20You managed to find one pointless answer, which means you have added £250 to the jackpot
29:24and it now therefore stands at £5,250.
29:28Well, let's find out who will be playing for that in the head-to-head.
29:37Now, the first letter with two questions will be playing for that jackpot and you are now
29:40allowed to confer before you give your answers.
29:42Best of luck to both pairs.
29:43Here is our first question.
29:45And it is all about...
29:46Island Capitals, Trevor.
29:50Yeah, we are going to show you five images of capital cities of island countries from
29:55around the world.
29:56We've added the initials and blank spaces for the remaining letters in the city name too.
30:01Please give us the names of the capital cities.
30:05Thank you very much indeed.
30:06So let's reveal our five island capitals and here they come.
30:10We have A.
30:11T.
30:16B.
30:18V.
30:22C.
30:24H.
30:28D.
30:30A.
30:34And E.
30:38R.
30:39There you are.
30:43Island Capitals.
30:45Ethan and Fez, you get to go first.
30:48Okay.
30:49Perfect.
30:50Um, can I go for D, please?
30:52Yes.
30:52And Tananarivo?
30:54And Tananarivo, says Ethan.
30:56Madagascar.
30:57And Tananarivo.
30:58Now then, Peter and Amy, would you like to talk us through the rest of that board?
31:02Yes, although I think we might be in the spot of bother.
31:05Top one, probably Tokyo, then Valletta, Hanoi and Reykjavik, probably.
31:11But I think we will go for Valletta, B.
31:15You are going to go for B, Valletta.
31:18Okay.
31:19Ethan and Fez went for Antanarivo for D.
31:23Should we see how many of our 100 said Antanarivo?
31:25And Tananarivo is right.
31:33It's a good score.
31:34It's a very good score.
31:36Turns are very, very rare in the head-to-head.
31:39Another point of answer, adding another £250 to today's jackpot.
31:43Taking the total up to £5,500.
31:47Scoring you nothing.
31:49So, yes, good luck, Peter and Amy.
31:51Um, you are going to go for Valletta for B.
31:54Doesn't that look lovely?
31:57Ah.
31:58Anyway, let's find out.
31:59How many of our 100 said Valletta?
32:02Valletta is right.
32:08It's another great score.
32:09This field, sadly, is not as great as nothing.
32:13So, Ethan and Fez, well done.
32:14After one question, you are up 1-0.
32:16Really impressed.
32:17Valletta, beautiful place in Malta.
32:21But Antanarivo, that was a might-drop moment on Pointless.
32:25Yeah.
32:25That was impressive.
32:27Madagascar.
32:27Can we go through?
32:28Do you know any of the others?
32:29Yeah.
32:29Well, C is Havana.
32:31Havana, Cuba.
32:3244.
32:33Point she would have got for that.
32:34And we said Tokyo for A, which I guess right.
32:37Tokyo, 48.
32:38That scored you.
32:39That was the highest score on the board.
32:42And finally, a place I've been and I love.
32:44I say to people, if you ever get a chance to go in your lifetime, you have to go here.
32:49I mean, you said Reykjavik.
32:50I think it is Reykjavik.
32:51It is Reykjavik.
32:52Is it?
32:52Yes, it is.
32:53In Iceland.
32:55Oh.
32:55And that was scored you 16.
32:56I love Reykjavik.
32:58Isn't that funny?
32:59Yes.
32:59I don't recognise it and I've been there.
33:01Yeah.
33:02I mean, yeah.
33:03Hmm.
33:04Marvellous.
33:04Thank you very much.
33:05Indeed.
33:06Right.
33:06Here comes your second question.
33:07Peter and Amy, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
33:10But you get to answer it first, which is great.
33:12So good luck.
33:13Our second question is all about cuts of steak.
33:18We're going to give you five types of steak, but they have each had their first two and last
33:24two letters cut.
33:25Please fill in the blanks and give us a cut of steak you think are hundred found toughest.
33:31Thank you very much indeed.
33:32Let's reveal our cuts of steak.
33:34And here they are.
33:36We have RLO, VET, R-T-E-R-H-O-U, A-T-I-R, and A-T-E-A-U-B-R-I-A.
33:50So there we are.
33:50Peter and Amy will go first.
33:55OK.
33:56No a few of them, but I think we'll go for the bottom one.
33:59Chateau Briand.
34:01Chateau Briand.
34:02Say, Peter and Amy.
34:03Now, Ethan and Fez, can you talk us through those other steaks?
34:07I think Sirloin.
34:09Then Porterhouse, third one.
34:12Flatiron is the fourth.
34:13But I think we're going to go for Bavette for the second one.
34:16Bavette.
34:16So we have Chateau Briand.
34:18We have Bavette.
34:19Now, Peter and Amy went for Chateau Briand.
34:21Should we see how many of our one hundred said that?
34:26Chateau Briand is right.
34:27That goes down to 21.
34:32Very well done indeed.
34:35Meanwhile, Ethan and Fez have gone for Bavette.
34:37Should we see how many of our one hundred said that for the second one?
34:40Bavette is right.
34:48And look at that.
34:49Downing of the five.
34:50Very, very well done indeed, Ethan and Fez.
34:52After only two questions, you are straight through to the final.
34:552-0.
34:56I mean, Peter and Amy, you're up against that.
34:59I mean, they took the best two answers.
35:01Should we go through the board?
35:02I think we should, yes.
35:03I think we've been given all of those answers.
35:05All the answers.
35:06At the top, Sirloin.
35:08Scorged you 35.
35:10Porterhouse.
35:11Scorged you 41.
35:12And you said Flatiron.
35:14Scorged you 10.
35:16Lovely.
35:17Very well played.
35:17Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
35:19That brings us to the end of our head-to-head round.
35:21It means, Peter and Amy, we have to say goodbye to you.
35:23This was only your first show.
35:24What an amazing showing.
35:26Next time, we can take it one step further, I'm sure.
35:28But thank you very much for playing today, Peter and Amy.
35:32For Ethan and Fez, though, it is now time for the Pointless Final.
35:39Congratulations, Ethan and Fez.
35:40You've fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless Trophy.
35:47You now have a chance to win the Pointless Jackpot.
35:53And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £5,500.
36:01I don't fancy the jackpot's chances, I'll be honest.
36:04We've had one Pointless answer from you on the show.
36:06And you've seemed incredibly capable with whatever we've thrown at you.
36:10So, yeah, I think you might be walking home with that jackpot.
36:13It's all a matter of what comes up on the board behind me.
36:15What would you like to see come up?
36:16Science, I think.
36:18Maybe American sports.
36:20Some capacity.
36:21They do come up from time to time.
36:23Okay, well, let's have a look.
36:24But before things, as ever, let's hope something here grabs you.
36:29Today's selection, TV series starring Jason Bateman.
36:33World water bird species.
36:36Basketball achievements.
36:38Music composition.
36:39I don't know anything about basketball.
36:40I feel like you'll be doing basketball achievements and it falls down to me.
36:44I may crumble under the pressure.
36:46Okay, Fez, you've got to carry us, man.
36:48We'll do basketball achievements.
36:49Basketball achievements, yeah.
36:50You are going to go for basketball achievements, Trevor.
36:53Yes, good luck with this.
36:55We are looking for any of the top 50 all-time scorers in the history of the NBA.
37:03So, this is points scored in the regular season games, according to the NBA's official website.
37:09Or, we're looking for the name of any basketball team that has won the NBA Finals more than once since 1947.
37:18All of this is up to and including September 2024.
37:21Best of luck to you in the studio and those of you playing at home.
37:25Thanks very much.
37:25Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
37:28All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
37:32If you can find three pointless answers, we will throw in a £500 bonus.
37:36Are you ready?
37:37Yep.
37:37Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
37:39There they are.
37:40Your time starts now.
37:42NBA scoring leaders, I'm thinking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar might be high scoring.
37:47Karl Malone, I'm not sure if he's scoring leader, it'll probably be pointless.
37:53NBA teams that have won the Finals, the big ones that people won't know.
37:56So, like the Houston Rockets, the Milwaukee Bucks won it for the second time recently.
38:02Yes.
38:03But I don't know if that's going to be fresh on the noggin for people, because it just happened.
38:06I haven't heard of them, though.
38:07Okay, we've got Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks for the NBA Finals.
38:13And the scoring leaders.
38:14Scoring leaders.
38:15Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone.
38:17Do you think it's going to be low scoring?
38:19Yeah.
38:20Don't people know Houston Rockets?
38:22No.
38:22No?
38:22Okay.
38:23Luke, I'm totally deferring to your judgment here.
38:25This is not the right shape.
38:26Yeah, because you want to avoid the Kobe's, LeBron's, Will Chamberlain might be a bit before.
38:31Okay.
38:33Okay.
38:33Yeah.
38:33Okay.
38:34All right.
38:34So, what are the few you're going to go for, what do you reckon?
38:36Houston, Milwaukee, the teams, and then scoring leaders.
38:40Okay, that is your time up.
38:43Let's have your three answers.
38:44You were just rehearsing them just then, so let's have them again.
38:47I think we'll go for two teams that won the finals, the Houston Rockets.
38:50Houston Rockets.
38:51And the Milwaukee Bucks.
38:53Milwaukee Bucks.
38:54And then for scoring leaders, Karl Malone.
38:57Karl Malone.
38:58Yeah.
38:58Of those three, best shot at a pointless answer?
39:01Um, Houston Rockets.
39:03Houston Rockets we put last.
39:04Least likely to be pointless?
39:06I'm not sure about Karl Malone.
39:07Okay, Karl Malone.
39:08And then the Milwaukee Bucks go in the middle.
39:09So, Karl Malone, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets.
39:12Okay, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
39:14And here they are.
39:16We have Karl Malone, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets.
39:22Well, if any one of these turns out to be pointless, you will be leaving here with £5,500.
39:27What would you like to do with that?
39:29Ethan, I'm going to ask you first.
39:31I run a charity with my dad that does orphanages and charity surgery in Kathmandu in Nepal for kids.
39:37So, a lot of that will go to that, I think.
39:39Wonderful.
39:40Fez?
39:41My partner's currently finishing off her PhD, so maybe you can use some of it to send her away with her.
39:48Oh, yeah.
39:48Oh, phew.
39:49I see a hat.
39:51What?
39:51Okay, lovely.
39:52Go somewhere with her.
39:52Go somewhere with her as a special treat after all that hard work.
39:56Yes.
39:57I see what you're saying.
39:58Well, very, very best of luck.
39:59It'd be really lovely if one of these turns out to be pointless.
40:01Let us find out if it might be Karl Malone.
40:03In this case, we're looking for NBA career scoring leaders.
40:05You've gone for Karl Malone.
40:07Let's see if Karl Malone is pointless for £5,500.
40:13Karl Malone is right.
40:16If it goes all the way down to zero, as you know, you will be leaving here with £5,500.
40:20Down we go with Karl Malone into the single digits.
40:23Still going down with Karl Malone.
40:24Still going down.
40:25Fantastic.
40:26Karl Malone was a pointless answer, which means you are taking home today's jackpot of £5,500.
40:35However, I did say if you had three pointless answers, you would get a bonus of £500.
40:40So let's just check your next answer, Milwaukee Bucks.
40:43For teams that have won the NBA Finals more than once, is Milwaukee Bucks pointless?
40:47Might this add to your jackpot?
40:50Well, Karl Malone took us all the way down to zero.
40:55Milwaukee Bucks has to do the same, and Houston Rockets, and we can add £500 to your winnings.
41:01Down we go.
41:01Single figures with Milwaukee Bucks.
41:02Still going down.
41:03Still going down.
41:03Milwaukee Bucks won.
41:06In which case, huge congratulations.
41:08You have just won £5,500.
41:10I'm a bit of an NBA fan as well.
41:18That was magnificent.
41:19That was great work.
41:21The fact that you two have both done it, head-to-head, you stood up.
41:25In the final, you stood up.
41:27What a team.
41:28Houston Rockets was also pointless, by the way.
41:31Oh, no.
41:32So you were really close to the triple pointless bonus.
41:36It's a great play.
41:37Let's have a look at some more of the pointless answers.
41:39Starting with the NBA career scoring leaders.
41:42Alan Iverson, what a player.
41:44Charles Barkley surprised me, actually.
41:46James Harden, Tim Duncan.
41:48In fact, everyone was pointless apart from the following.
41:51Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Shaquille O'Neal, Larry Bird,
41:55Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, and Wilt Chamberlain.
41:59Incredible names there.
42:01Everybody else on that list was pointless.
42:03So well done if you said one of those.
42:05Moving on to teams that have won the NBA Finals more than once.
42:08This was a much harder category.
42:10There were only three pointless answers.
42:12And they were Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers,
42:16and San Antonio Spurs.
42:18So very well done if you said one of those at home.
42:21Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
42:23And thanks once again to our winning players, Ethan and Fez,
42:25who take away today's jackpot of £5,500.
42:28Very well done.
42:31Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on pointless.
42:34Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Trevor.
42:37That is goodbye from me.
42:38Goodbye.
42:38Goodbye.
42:38Goodbye.
42:39Goodbye.
42:39Goodbye.
42:40Goodbye.
42:40Goodbye.
42:41Goodbye.
42:42Goodbye.
42:43Goodbye.
42:43Goodbye.
42:44Goodbye.
42:45Goodbye.
42:46Goodbye.
42:47Goodbye.
43:11Goodbye.
43:13Goodbye.
43:15Goodbye.
