00:00MUSIC
00:18APPLAUSE
00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
00:24and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
00:26the show where obvious answers mean nothing
00:28and obscure answers mean everything.
00:30Let's meet today's players.
00:36And couple number one.
00:37I'm Bill, this is Jean, my wife,
00:39and we're from Freckleton, which is near Preston in Lancashire.
00:42Couple number two.
00:43Hi, I'm Fez, this is my friend Ethan,
00:45we're both from London.
00:46Couple number three.
00:47I'm Peter, this is my wife Amy, and we're from Edinburgh.
00:50And finally, couple number four.
00:52I'm Chris, this is my wife Anne, and we're from Surrey.
00:55And these are today's contestants.
00:58APPLAUSE
00:59Thank you very much indeed, all of you.
01:00A very, very warm welcome to Pointless.
01:02That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
01:04We've only booked him because his first name rhymes with clever.
01:07It's my Pointless friend, it is Trevor Nelson.
01:11They're getting better. They're getting better.
01:13Do you know an artist that made a song called Clever Trevor?
01:17Um, it's not Ian Jury and the Blockheads.
01:20Yes, Ian Jury and the Blockheads.
01:21Yes.
01:22And I played that on my show recently and my producer said,
01:24are you only playing this because it's this clever Trevor in the title?
01:26And I said, yes.
01:27Yes, of course.
01:28Of course.
01:29I like it, but come on.
01:30I'd like it less if it didn't have my name in the title.
01:33And Trevor's not a really fantastic name.
01:35It's not like Xander.
01:36It's not...
01:37It's a name that's dying slowly.
01:38I think it's a name that you are doing a tremendous amount for.
01:41Single-handedly.
01:42Single-handedly.
01:43I'm doing best.
01:44I think you are doing great Trevor work.
01:45Thank you very much, sir.
01:47There we are.
01:48Thank you very much.
01:49Now, Ian and Sally got through to the final last time,
01:51as some of you may remember, and they did not win the jackpot,
01:54which means we add another £1,000 to that.
01:56So, today's jackpot starts off, mark my words, at £5,000.
02:03There we are.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pinders.
02:13Something for you to think about while you're playing.
02:15We always eliminate the pair with the highest score
02:17at the end of each round.
02:18So, if you don't wish to be eliminated, keep your scores low.
02:21That's it.
02:22Best of luck to everybody.
02:23Our first category today is...
02:29Can you all decide in your pairs?
02:30Who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
02:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
02:38And the question concerns...
02:41The Something of Something films.
02:45I like it, Trevor.
02:46I like it too. I like it.
02:47I like it.
02:48On each pass, we're going to give you seven film titles
02:51that take the form the something of something or similar.
02:54However, we've blanked out all the words in each title except for the and of.
03:00So, we just need you to fill in those blank somethings and give us the titles.
03:04To help, we're also going to give you two stars from each film
03:07and the years they were released according to IMDB.
03:10Good luck.
03:11Excellent.
03:12I'm looking forward to reading this board out.
03:14It's going to be fun.
03:15And here it comes.
03:17Our Something of Something films.
03:19The W of O, Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, 1939.
03:24The S of the L, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, 1991.
03:28The U of C, Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo, 1964.
03:34The LK of S, Forrest Whitaker, James McAvoy, 2006.
03:40The C of M, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, 1986.
03:45The M of Z, Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 1998.
03:52And the S of W, Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, 2017.
03:59There we are, Jean.
04:01Welcome back to Point.
04:02It's great to have you with us again.
04:03We must know more about you, Jean.
04:05I sing in a local choir.
04:07Do you?
04:08We do four to five concerts a year to fundraising.
04:12That's very good.
04:13What's the choir called?
04:14The Lydon Singers.
04:15They're based in Lytham St Anne's.
04:17Very nice indeed.
04:18And how many of you are there in the choir?
04:19There's over 80 on the...
04:21Wow, on the roster.
04:22On the roster, but not necessarily all there at one time.
04:26But you can field a massive choir.
04:28Yes.
04:29What's the biggest gig of the year?
04:30We recently did one with a symphony orchestra doing operatic choruses and Rutter's Requiem.
04:37It was absolutely fantastic.
04:39How much fun that must have been.
04:41It was great fun.
04:42Wow.
04:43Excellent.
04:44Now, Jean, what about our board here?
04:45Have you had time to work out which one of these you'd like to go for?
04:48Hmm.
04:49The second one, The Silence of the Lambs.
04:51The Silence of the Lambs, says Jean.
04:53For Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, how many of our 100 said The Silence of the Lambs?
04:57It is absolutely right.
05:02And it goes down to 55.
05:03There we are.
05:04Solid start, Jean.
05:05And what a film.
05:08What a film.
05:09What a film.
05:10What a film.
05:11What a film.
05:12Amazing film.
05:13Silence of the Lambs.
05:14A film institute named Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs is the greatest villain in cinema history.
05:21Second was Norman Bates in Psycho.
05:23Third was Darth Vader.
05:24Really?
05:25Yeah.
05:26I don't know if he's the greatest villain.
05:27What do you think?
05:28Oh, I think he was chilling in that film.
05:29Oh, he's chilling?
05:30He was.
05:31Is he the greatest villain in all film?
05:32I can't.
05:33Norman Bates in Psycho is pretty bad.
05:35I think that's worse.
05:36Darth Vader?
05:37No, Hannibal Lecter.
05:38No.
05:39Hannibal Lecter.
05:40Yeah.
05:41I hit it your heart.
05:42No, but you're kind of encouraged to like Hannibal Lecter because he's working for the team.
05:47No, I didn't like him.
05:49Hannibal was chilling.
05:51No scenes walking into prison to see him.
05:54I guess he was chilling.
05:55An intelligent scary man Hannibal was.
05:57He would have wiped the floor with you guys.
05:59And then eaten us.
06:00He was that bright.
06:01Well, there we go.
06:02Ethan.
06:03You are most welcome at Pointless.
06:04It's lovely to have you here.
06:05Tell us all about yourself.
06:06I'm a dentist in central London and I'm trying to see all seven of the wonders of the world
06:11before I turn 30.
06:13That is not connected to the dental work.
06:14No.
06:15I see.
06:16These are two separate facts.
06:17I thought I'm trying to see all seven wonders of the world from my chair.
06:20No, not quite.
06:21No.
06:22That's fun.
06:23So what wonders have you seen so far?
06:24The Taj Mahal and the Coliseum and the pyramids and the Angkor Wat.
06:29Very good.
06:30I still need to see Chichen Itza and Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China.
06:34Amazing.
06:35Well, there we are.
06:36Get through to the Pointless final.
06:37There's a decent jackpot there that could help you tick some of those off maybe.
06:41Now then, Ethan, the wall behind me has all these wonderful films on.
06:46I'm still struggling with a couple of them.
06:48I'm struggling with pretty much all of them, actually.
06:50But I think I'm going to play it safe and go for the top one, The Wizard of Oz.
06:54The Wizard of Oz, says Ethan.
06:56Shall we see how many of our 100 said The Wizard of Oz?
06:59The Wizard of Oz is right.
07:01Well, 55 is the only score we have at the moment.
07:0362 for The Wizard of Oz.
07:07Yep.
07:08Well done.
07:09Scary characters in there as well.
07:11Yes.
07:12Yeah.
07:13They used to show it every Christmas when I was little.
07:15Absolutely.
07:16And Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West, had the most scary laugh
07:20as a kid when you saw that.
07:21Terrifying.
07:22Yeah.
07:23He was actually a former kindergarten teacher who loved children.
07:26The irony.
07:27I have thought of a scarier person than Hannibal Lecter.
07:32Go on.
07:33The child catcher.
07:34Yeah, absolutely.
07:35The child catcher.
07:36Absolutely.
07:37No question.
07:38Hands down the scariest thing on film.
07:39I agree.
07:40I agree.
07:41There we go.
07:42Anyway, thank you very much.
07:43Amy, welcome to Pointless.
07:44Lovely to have you here.
07:45Tell us all about yourself, Amy.
07:46I'm from Edinburgh and I'm a retired civil servant.
07:51What do you love to get up to, Amy?
07:53I've now...
07:54Well, our dog.
07:55I've made her a therapy dog, so I take her to care homes and schools.
08:01Was she originally...
08:02She wasn't originally at that time?
08:03No, she was a greyhound.
08:04A greyhound.
08:05So she was a runner.
08:06But she's rehomed.
08:08Rehomed.
08:09And you trained her?
08:10Well, she's so lazy in general, I just got assessed and she was fine.
08:16How very lovely.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Perfect.
08:19Amy, what would you like to go for on our board?
08:22I'm going to go for The Colour of Money.
08:25The Colour of Money for the Paul Newman Tom Cruise.
08:28Shall we see how many of our 100 people said The Colour of Money?
08:32The Colour of Money is right.
08:3462 is our high score.
08:3555 is our low.
08:36And you pass both of those, Amy, down back.
08:38Go to 21.
08:39This is super.
08:40Very well done.
08:42That was a real Hustlers film, wasn't it?
08:45Yes.
08:46Paul Newman at his finest.
08:47The Colour of Money is a continuation of the story of fast Eddie Felsen.
08:52With Paul Newman back in the role he played 25 years earlier in The Hustler.
08:56It's a long time to do a continuation.
08:58It really is.
08:5925 years.
09:00Wow, between sequels.
09:01Mm.
09:02I kind of like those sequels though.
09:03Yeah.
09:04The ones that give you space to breathe and you want them to come back as opposed to
09:08let's just make money and churn it out.
09:10Ah, you're right.
09:11Yeah, right.
09:12Very good indeed.
09:13Now, then Anne, welcome back to Pointless.
09:14Good to have you with us again.
09:15Tell us more about yourself, Anne.
09:17We like to travel and I've been lucky enough to stand on every continent of the world.
09:24There we are.
09:25That's okay.
09:26When you say stand, does that mean you've sort of occasionally just leapt over?
09:29That's right.
09:30A foot on it.
09:31A foot.
09:32So, um...
09:33Maybe two.
09:34Which would you say was the one you would like to explore more?
09:37Oh, Antarctica was amazing.
09:40Which bit of Antarctica did you stand on?
09:42Well, just the peninsula.
09:43Right.
09:44But we were in a zodiac with the engine off in the middle of a bay with 25 humpback whales
09:53feeding around us.
09:54Wow.
09:55I mean, majestic.
09:56Majestic.
09:57A little bit scary, possibly.
09:58Scary, but you forget that they're there.
09:59You forget.
10:00Because it's just so magical.
10:01Beautiful.
10:02Yes.
10:03Very good.
10:04Now then, Anne, this is your board.
10:06Would you like to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
10:08I don't think I can.
10:09I am still not convinced by this, but I'm going to say, is it the Master of Zorro?
10:17The Master of Zorro, says Anne.
10:19Shall we find out if it is the Master of Zorro, shall we?
10:23No!
10:24I'm afraid I think you've now worked out what it might be.
10:28Have you?
10:29Mar...
10:30Marquess?
10:31No.
10:32Let's find out.
10:33I'm afraid that's 100 points.
10:34I'm afraid incorrect.
10:35Sorry about that, Anne.
10:36Oh, well, let's clear this board up.
10:37Should we start there?
10:38Let's do it.
10:39The Mask.
10:40Yeah, it was the Mask of Zorro, Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
10:44One film, 30, that would have scored you.
10:46If we go back up to...
10:48The Last King of Scotland.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Good film.
10:51Idi Amin, 11.
10:52Yes.
10:53This one I am chewing with and chewing with.
10:55The 1964.
10:56The U of C.
10:57The Uncle of Charlie.
10:59The...
11:00No.
11:01The...
11:02It's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
11:04Oh, no, I have heard of that.
11:06For goodness sake.
11:07Pointless answer.
11:08Yes.
11:09And the final one at the bottom.
11:10The most recent film on the board.
11:12I mean, I thought I probably would know every Sally Hawkins film.
11:14I can't remember.
11:15The Shape of Water.
11:16Oh, for goodness sake.
11:17Which was the second best score on the board with four.
11:19Yeah.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Thank you very much indeed.
11:22Well, we are halfway through the round.
11:23Let's have a quick look at those scores.
11:24I can tell you 21, Amy.
11:26The best score of the past.
11:27Very well done indeed.
11:28And from there we travel up to 55, to Jean and Bill.
11:31From there to 62, Ethan and Fez.
11:33And from there up to 100, Anne and Chris.
11:36I mean, they're not that far behind you, Chris.
11:38No.
11:39A lovely low score from you on the next board.
11:41Okay.
11:42Could be ideal.
11:43So there we are.
11:44Back down the line now.
11:45Will the second players please step up to the podium?
11:50Okay.
11:51Let's put seven more clues to the something of something films on the board.
11:55And here they are.
11:56We have the W of W.S.
11:59Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, 2013.
12:03The G of N.
12:04David Niven, Anthony Quinn, 1961.
12:07The T of M.
12:09Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, 2021.
12:12The J of the N, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, 1985.
12:17The P of H, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, 2006.
12:22The S of M, Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, 1965.
12:26And the P of T, Barbara Streisand, Nick Nolte, 1991.
12:33There we are.
12:34Chris, welcome back to Pointless.
12:36Good to have you with us a second time.
12:38And I must say thank you very much for my honey.
12:42I've been told you have brought honey.
12:44I have.
12:45I promise it's not a bribe.
12:46Oh.
12:47No, it works.
12:48It'll be a bribe.
12:49Listen, Nick.
12:50Don't worry about the high score.
12:51It's fine.
12:52Thank you very much indeed for that.
12:54Tell us other things that are among your interests apart from your beekeeping.
12:58I have a weird obsession with the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
13:03I've been following them for years.
13:05Ever since I read in a Stephen King book that that was the team that he liked.
13:09And I just started following them.
13:11So I have to watch the kind of highlights every day.
13:14Every day.
13:15Catch up with the Red Sox.
13:16Yeah.
13:17What kinds of Stephen King's have you followed apishly?
13:19Yeah.
13:20Well, I like the films and the books.
13:21Exactly.
13:22Follow all of those.
13:23Yeah.
13:24Yeah.
13:25Terrific.
13:26Now, listen, Chris, you are high scorers at the moment.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Let's see what a lovely low score and a jar of honey can do for you.
13:33I'm struggling here.
13:34I'll go for the bottom one.
13:35I think it's The Prince of Thieves.
13:37The Prince of Thieves at the bottom there.
13:39Shall we see?
13:40There's no red line for you as you are the high scorers.
13:42Shall we see how far down the column we get with The Prince of Thieves?
13:47That's a shame.
13:50I'm afraid that's incorrect.
13:52Scores you 100 points.
13:53Takes your total up to 200.
13:54You are the newest members of The 200 Club.
13:56Bad luck, Chris.
13:58There was Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves at around the same time,
14:01but it didn't star those actors.
14:03It was Kevin Costner.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Kevin Costner.
14:06Oh, there.
14:07Yes.
14:08The honey didn't work.
14:09No.
14:10And apparently I've got some coming as well, haven't I?
14:13Don't try and bribe us, guys.
14:16It doesn't work.
14:17Don't listen to him.
14:18Of course you try and bribe us.
14:19The word being try.
14:21Exactly.
14:22Keep trying.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Thank you very much indeed.
14:25Peter, welcome to Pointless.
14:26Hello.
14:27Great to have you here.
14:28Tell us all about yourself.
14:29I work for a bank in Edinburgh and I'm heavily into horse racing,
14:34so I own shares in racehorses and I've been to every racecourse in Great Britain.
14:39There we are.
14:40And a few abroad.
14:41What took you up to Edinburgh?
14:42The job.
14:43The job?
14:44That I have.
14:45So I've been up there 17 years.
14:46I think Edinburgh is the most beautiful place in the world.
14:48I've said it before.
14:49I'll say it again.
14:50I mean, it's the most magical place.
14:52And apart from the horse racing, what else do you like to get up to?
14:54I play a little bit of snooker and billiards for a team in Edinburgh as well with varying degrees of success.
15:00OK.
15:01Now then, listen.
15:02You are through to round two.
15:03It doesn't matter what you score here.
15:05However, I bet you've got a nice nifty low score.
15:08I'm going to go for the one with the best associated song, I think.
15:11I'm going to go for the Jewel of the Nile.
15:13The Jewel of the Nile, says Peter.
15:15Shall we see how...
15:17Was that the Phil Collins one?
15:18No.
15:19Billy Ocean.
15:20Of course it was.
15:21Of course it was the going gets tough.
15:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said.
15:24There's no red line for you.
15:25You're already through.
15:26How many people said the Jewel of the Nile?
15:30Jewel of the Nile is absolutely right.
15:34Down it goes to 39.
15:35Very well done.
15:36Taking your total up to a lovely neat 60.
15:38I love what Peter did there.
15:40Talked about the music in the movie.
15:42That's why he plugged...
15:44Absolutely right.
15:45Jewel of the Nile, really entertaining film.
15:46The film featured the Billy Ocean song,
15:48When the Going Gets Tough.
15:49The Tough Get Going, which spent four weeks at number one.
15:52Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito,
15:55who also starred in the film, All Wore White Suits
15:57and performed in its video.
15:59The video was brilliant as well, right?
16:00Yeah.
16:01Love that film.
16:03Thank you very much indeed.
16:04Now then, Fez, welcome to Pointless.
16:05Thank you very much.
16:06It is terrific to have you here.
16:07Tell us all about yourself, Fez.
16:08I work as an account manager for one of the three main food delivery platforms.
16:13Food delivery platforms.
16:15I think I know the three.
16:16Marvellous.
16:17And when you are not managing that account,
16:19what do you like to get up to?
16:20What thrills you, Fez?
16:21At the moment, I'm trying my best to become proficient at as many sports as possible.
16:26So I work my way through a list.
16:28This is good.
16:29What's top of the tree sports-wise for you?
16:31I played American football for a few years at university, so probably that.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Probably that.
16:36Okay.
16:37Now, Fez, you're on 62.
16:38It does not matter what you score.
16:39You are through to the next round, come what may.
16:40I bet you've got a lovely answer here.
16:42I'll be very honest, the other board is better for me,
16:45so I'm going to go for the risky of the two that I do know,
16:48The Pursuit of Happiness.
16:49The Pursuit of Happiness.
16:51Will Smith, Jaden Smith, should we see how many of our 100 people said
16:53The Pursuit of Happiness?
16:54No red line.
16:55You're through.
16:59The Pursuit of Happiness is absolutely right.
17:01And it takes you down to 12.
17:04Very well done indeed.
17:05Lovely little score.
17:0674 are your total.
17:07That was an incredibly moving film as well.
17:10I think I came out of the cinema with a tear in my eye.
17:12Oh, yeah.
17:13Based on a true story, Will Smith starred with his eight-year-old son, Jaden,
17:16as a single father struggling to build his career
17:19whilst coping with homelessness and being a single parent.
17:22Oh.
17:23As a dad.
17:24You couldn't not be moved watching The Pursuit of Happiness.
17:27It was deep.
17:28I cried episodes of Grand Designs.
17:29I mean, really.
17:30It doesn't take, it doesn't take much.
17:32Are you for real, Xander?
17:34I, I know.
17:36I know, right?
17:37Yeah, yeah, I do.
17:39Yeah.
17:40Listen, I'll tell you where I really do cry at films.
17:42On planes.
17:43Yeah, well, you've got to style it out when you're on a plane, though.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Do you watch a film on a plane?
17:48And sometimes, I've watched films on planes.
17:50Well, I don't know about crying.
17:51There's scenes that may pop up.
17:53And I wonder if people walking past thinking,
17:55he's a bit, he's a bit of a one, isn't he?
17:57I didn't know this was going to be happening.
17:59As you came by.
18:00I'm in the aisle seat and I'm sitting there going,
18:02oh, oh, I didn't know that was going to happen.
18:05Now, Bill, welcome back.
18:08Great to have you with us a second time.
18:09Let's hear more about you, Bill.
18:10Well, after careers in the civil service and school transport,
18:13I've now got a third career,
18:15which is an unpaid dog walker
18:17for my daughter's English bull terrier called Freddy.
18:21Oh.
18:22Is Freddy well behaved?
18:23No.
18:24Oh.
18:25He's a stubborn, awkward dog you've ever met in your life.
18:27Oh.
18:28He was bred as a show dog,
18:30but because his eyes were different colours,
18:32he was no use for showing.
18:34Oh, no.
18:35So he's got a bit of an attitude about that.
18:36Wow.
18:37So David Bowie dog.
18:38Yeah.
18:39So if he sits down.
18:40There you are.
18:41That's it.
18:42You're not going anywhere.
18:43So he's quite a lot of lead work.
18:44Oh, yes, yes.
18:45Yeah.
18:46Oh, dear.
18:47Now, Bill, you are on 55,
18:48you are through to the next round.
18:49Would you like to talk us through this board?
18:50I know two of the ones that are left.
18:52The second one down is The Guns of Navarone,
18:54and the second bottom is The Sound of Music.
18:56So I'll go for The Guns of Navarone.
18:58The Guns of Navarone.
18:59A terrific film.
19:00Shall we see how many of our 100 said that?
19:02No red line.
19:03You're already through.
19:05The Guns of Navarone.
19:09Terrific.
19:10Down he goes to 30.
19:11Very well done.
19:1285 is your total.
19:14That was a star-studied cast in The Guns of Navarone, wasn't it?
19:17Yeah.
19:18They don't make films like that anymore.
19:19No, they don't.
19:20Oh.
19:21Anything else you like on this board?
19:23The Wolf of Wall Street, the top.
19:24Yeah.
19:2534.
19:26That would have scored you.
19:27The Sound of Music, obviously.
19:28There it is.
19:29The Sound of Music, 49.
19:30Yeah.
19:31That was the highest score on the board.
19:33Do you know what?
19:34I was so convinced by The Prince of Thieves
19:36that I now can't get it out of my head
19:38and I can't think what that...
19:39It's close.
19:40What is it?
19:41It's close.
19:42The Prince.
19:43It is The Prince.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Of?
19:46Yes.
19:47Yes.
19:48And that would have scored you two.
19:49Oh.
19:50Not the lowest score on the board.
19:52There is one more.
19:53No.
19:54Is this Francis McDormand?
19:55It's quite a recent film.
19:56Yes.
19:57Joel Cohen, one of the famous Coen brothers.
20:00It was his Shakespeare play.
20:01Right up your street, sir.
20:02It's a Shakespeare play?
20:03Or it's based on a Shakespeare play?
20:05Yeah, with a twist.
20:06The Tragedy.
20:07Of Macbeth.
20:08Yes.
20:09Pointless answer.
20:10Well, thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
20:11That brings us to the end of our first round.
20:12It means we have to say goodbye to our first pair.
20:14Oh, Chris and Anne, I'm so sorry.
20:17You are our high scorer's 200 club, though.
20:20That has its perks.
20:21That's good.
20:22Thank you so much for playing.
20:23We'll see you next time for the third and final show.
20:25But yeah, brilliant.
20:26Chris and Anne.
20:28For the remaining three pairs, though,
20:29now time for round two.
20:30APPLAUSE
20:35Very, very well done indeed, everybody.
20:38Terrific work there.
20:39Our lowest individual scorer, Fez.
20:41Fabulous work there.
20:42And Peter and Amy were our lowest combined scorers.
20:45So very well done to you.
20:47Best of luck to all three pairs.
20:48Our category for round two today is...
20:53Space.
20:54Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
20:56who's going to go second?
20:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
20:59And the question concerns...
21:03Planets, dwarf planets or moons containing the letters S, B, A, C or E, Trevor.
21:14We are looking for any known planet, dwarf planet or moon in our solar system,
21:20named by the International Astronomical Union
21:23that contains at least one of the letters of the word space.
21:26This is all according to the NASA website as of June 2024.
21:31Fabulous.
21:32Jean, we come to you.
21:34Oh, I can see how thrilled you are.
21:36What a fun subject this is for people who don't know about astronomy.
21:40What are we thinking?
21:43Pollux.
21:44Yeah, no, all right, no need for that.
21:47You're going to say Pollux.
21:51Pollux.
21:52OK, all right.
21:53Thank you very much.
21:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pollux.
21:56Oh, no.
21:59I'm so sorry, Jean.
22:01I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
22:04It may not be the last 100 points of the round, be assured.
22:07Pollux is a star, not a moon.
22:10That's the problem.
22:11There we are.
22:13Amy, what are you thinking?
22:15I'm going to go for Jupiter.
22:18Jupiter, says Amy.
22:20Shall we see how many of our 100 people said Jupiter?
22:26Jupiter's right.
22:29Jupiter scores 53.
22:34Jupiter's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium,
22:37so well done.
22:38Thank you very much indeed.
22:40Now then, Fez.
22:41It would be silly to come onto Pointless and not take a risk,
22:44so I'm going to say Titan.
22:47Titan, says Fez.
22:49Shall we see how many of our 100 said Titan?
22:53Titan is right.
22:54100 is our high score.
22:5653 is our low score.
22:57You pass both of those.
23:00And down goes for seven.
23:01Very well done indeed, Fez.
23:03As you say, it would be silly to come on Pointless and not take a risk.
23:06That is a catchphrase.
23:08That was incredible that you took a risk when he didn't need to, Fez.
23:11Still.
23:12You're a risk taker.
23:13Well done there.
23:14Titan, moon discovered by Hygens.
23:16Marvellous.
23:17Thank you very much indeed.
23:18Well, we're halfway through the round.
23:19Let's have a quick recap of the scores.
23:20Seven, the best score of the past, Fez.
23:21Very well done indeed.
23:2253 is where we find Peter and Amy.
23:24And then 100 is where we find Jean and Bill.
23:26I am so sorry.
23:27Bill, let's see what happens in the next pass.
23:29I said it won't be the last 100, and it may not be.
23:32Let's hope it's not your 100, though, though.
23:34That's what I was talking about.
23:35We're going to come back down the line now.
23:37Will the second players please step up to the podium?
23:42OK, so we are looking for planets, dwarf planets or moons,
23:46containing the letters S-P-A-C or E.
23:49Ethan, you are our low scorers on seven.
23:52A score of 92 or less gets you straight into the head-to-head.
23:56Great.
23:57I'm going to go for Phobos.
23:58It's the moon of Mars.
23:59Phobos.
24:00Oh, they know their moons.
24:01I'm saying.
24:02I mean, yeah.
24:03These are moon-savvy people.
24:04These guys.
24:05These guys.
24:06Phobos.
24:07You get a red line and everything, and it is here.
24:10Shall we see where we end up with Phobos?
24:13It is right.
24:14You are in the head-to-head.
24:20Ah!
24:21Two for Phobos.
24:22Taking your total up to nine.
24:23Very well done indeed, Ethan.
24:25Fantastic answer.
24:26A moon discovered in 1877.
24:29Very nice.
24:31Now then, Peter.
24:33Yes.
24:34I was going to say Titan, but that puts me all out with moons.
24:37So we'll just have to go for a planet.
24:39I'll go for Neptune.
24:40Neptune, says Peter, you're on 53.
24:4246 or less would see you straight into the head-to-head.
24:45Let's see how many of our 100 said Neptune.
24:47You get a red line and it is here.
24:54Well done.
24:55You're through.
24:56Oh, just 40.
24:57Taking your total up to 93.
24:58Fantastic work.
24:59Well done.
25:00Neptune is a windy planet.
25:02Winds there can whip clouds of frozen methane across the planet
25:05at over 1,200 miles per hour.
25:08Not a place you'd want to go for a little picnic.
25:11Oh, no.
25:12Think of the sand on the beaches.
25:13And you're drying.
25:14A little chilly.
25:15A little chilly.
25:16A little chilly.
25:17OK, so we then come to you, Bill.
25:18I'm sorry to say you are our high scorers.
25:20How good are you on planets, dwarf planets and moons?
25:22Not good.
25:23Not good.
25:24No, I'm afraid I would be with you on 100, I'm afraid,
25:26if not 200 by now.
25:27I'll go for Pluto.
25:28Pluto, says Bill.
25:29No red line, you're the high scorers.
25:31How many of our 100 said Pluto?
25:35Pluto's right.
25:38And down he goes 57.
25:39Your total is 150.
25:40Once our solar system's ninth planet, it's now dwarf planet,
25:45it was downgraded in 2006 after the classification of planets was redefined.
25:50That must be a bore for Pluto.
25:52I mean, absolutely gutted.
25:53Downgraded.
25:54To get downgraded is just a feeling of...
25:56Yeah.
25:57I mean, for your size as well.
25:59Yeah.
26:00It's annoying.
26:01You're not big enough.
26:02Yeah.
26:03Do you know what?
26:04Yeah.
26:05There are 170 answers and lots of them are pointless.
26:07They were mostly moons, but there's a couple of dwarf planets too.
26:10If you look at the board.
26:11Belinda.
26:12Caliban.
26:13Calypso.
26:14A moon of Satan.
26:16Satan, Saturn.
26:17I always get them confused, Satan and Saturn.
26:22Yes.
26:23It's so easy.
26:24Yeah.
26:25You could have had...
26:26Eris.
26:27Oh, please.
26:28Help me out here, Xander.
26:29Oh, Homer.
26:30Yes.
26:31And this, my sister's name, Ophelia.
26:33Ah.
26:34It's a planet.
26:35Phoebe.
26:36Styx.
26:37And Phoebe.
26:38Well done at home if you got any of those.
26:40Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
26:41Well, that brings us to the end of our second round.
26:43And it means we have to say goodbye to another pair.
26:44And Bill and Jean, you are that pair.
26:46Our two veteran pairs have left the show, leaving just our newbies.
26:50We'll see you again next time.
26:52Look forward to it.
26:53Bill and Jean, thank you very much.
26:55For the remaining two pairs, though, it is now time for the head-to-head.
27:03Congratulations, Ethan and Fez, Peter and Amy.
27:06You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
27:10which currently stands at £5,000.
27:13However, before we play the head-to-head,
27:15we have a chance to throw some more money into that jackpot
27:17by seeing if we can find a couple of pointless answers.
27:20Just for fun, here goes.
27:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
27:25You're going to see six options.
27:34Two are scoring, two are pointless and two are not members of Black Sabbath at all.
27:40£250 in the jackpot, each pointless answer.
27:43Thank you very much indeed.
27:44So, let's reveal our six potential pointless Black Sabbath members.
27:48And here they are.
28:01There we are.
28:02Can you find the pointless answers in there?
28:04Does anybody know anything?
28:05No. Not much.
28:06Absolutely nothing.
28:07In which case, I'm going to come straight to you, Ethan and Fez.
28:09Which of those would you like to nominate as a pointless Black Sabbath member?
28:13We'll go for Vinny.
28:15We're going to go for Vinny Apercy.
28:17Shall we see if Vinny Apercy is a pointless member of Black Sabbath?
28:22Vinny Apercy, most definitely a member of Black Sabbath.
28:25100%.
28:26Come on, Vinny.
28:31One.
28:32Toying with us, Vinny, there.
28:34Peter and Amy.
28:36I've got no idea.
28:38Go ahead.
28:39Apart from Ozzy Osbourne, no clue.
28:41Cosy Powell.
28:42Yeah, let's go Cosy Powell.
28:43Shall we go Cosy?
28:44Yeah, let's go Cosy.
28:45Cosy Powell, a pointless member of Black Sabbath?
28:47Hmm?
28:49Ooh.
28:50Ooh.
28:51A member of Black Sabbath.
28:56Oh, very well done.
29:00Very well done.
29:01Brilliant.
29:03Cosy being the only person I actually know on that board.
29:06He played drums in Black Sabbath in the 80s and 90s.
29:09He'd previously played in Rainbow and, of course, a pointless answer.
29:12Brilliant.
29:13So, Ronnie James Dio was in Black Sabbath.
29:16He replaced Ozzy Osbourne as Black Sabbath's lead singer.
29:19That would have scored you 11.
29:20Jeff Nichols was a pointless answer.
29:23He played keyboards, guitar and bass for the band.
29:25John Carpenter, he's not in Black Sabbath.
29:28John Carpenter is a film director and he directed Prince of Darkness,
29:32which is also the nickname of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne.
29:36Marston Green being the final red herring.
29:39That's an address.
29:40Yes, it is.
29:41It's a village.
29:42Yeah.
29:43In Birmingham, where Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne was actually born.
29:47There we are.
29:48Fabulous.
29:49Thank you very much indeed and well done.
29:51You managed to find one pointless answer,
29:52which means you have added £250 to the jackpot,
29:54and it now therefore stands at £5,250.
29:58Well, let's find out who will be playing for that in the Head to Head.
30:07Now, the first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot
30:10and you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
30:12Best of luck to both pairs.
30:13Here is our first question.
30:15And it is all about...
30:18Island capitals, Trevor.
30:20Yeah, we are going to show you five images of capital cities
30:24of island countries from around the world.
30:26We've added the initials and blank spaces for the remaining letters
30:30in the city name too.
30:31Please give us the names of the capital cities.
30:34Thank you very much indeed.
30:36So, let's reveal our five island capitals and here they come.
30:39We have A, T.
30:47B, V.
30:54C, H.
31:00D, A.
31:04And E, R.
31:13There you are, island capitals.
31:15Ethan and Fez, you get to go first.
31:18OK.
31:19Go for it.
31:20Can I go for D, please?
31:22Yes.
31:23Antananarivo?
31:24Antananarivo, says Ethan.
31:26In Madagascar.
31:27Antananarivo.
31:28Now then, Peter and Amy, would you like to talk us through the rest of that board?
31:32Yes.
31:33Although I think we might be in the spot of bother.
31:35Top one, probably Tokyo.
31:36Then Valletta, Hanoi and Reykjavik, probably.
31:41But I think we will go for Valletta, B.
31:45You are going to go for B, Valletta.
31:48OK.
31:49Ethan and Fez went for Antananarivo for D.
31:53Should we see how many of our 100 said?
31:55Antananarivo.
31:59Antananarivo is right.
32:03It's a good score.
32:04It's a very good score.
32:06Those are very, very rare in the head-to-head.
32:09Another pointless answer, adding another £250 to today's jackpot,
32:13taking the total up to £5,500, scoring you nothing.
32:19So, yes, good luck, Peter and Amy.
32:21You are going to go for Valletta for B.
32:24Doesn't that look lovely?
32:26Ah...
32:28Anyway, let's find out how many of our 100 said Valletta.
32:32Valletta is right.
32:34It's another great score, 15.
32:41Sadly, it's not as great as nothing.
32:43So, Ethan and Fez, well done.
32:44After one question, you are up 1-0.
32:47Really impressed.
32:48Valletta, beautiful place in Malta.
32:51But Antananarivo, that was a white-drop moment on Pointless.
32:55Yeah.
32:56That was impressive.
32:57Madagascar, can we go through?
32:58Do you know any of the others?
32:59Yeah, well, C is Havana.
33:01Havana, Cuba, 44 points you would have got for that.
33:04And we said Tokyo for A, which I think is right.
33:07Tokyo, 48, that scored you.
33:09Yes.
33:10That was the highest score on the board.
33:11And finally, a place I've been and I love.
33:14I say to people, if you ever get a chance to go in your lifetime,
33:17you have to go here.
33:18I mean, you said Reykjavik, I don't think it is Reykjavik.
33:21It is Reykjavik.
33:22Is it?
33:23Yes, it is.
33:24In Iceland.
33:25Oh.
33:26And that would have scored you 16.
33:27I love Reykjavik.
33:28Isn't that funny?
33:29Yeah, it's unbelievable.
33:30I didn't recognise it and I've been there.
33:31Yeah.
33:32I mean, yeah.
33:33Hmm.
33:34Marvellous.
33:35Thank you very much indeed.
33:36Right.
33:37Here comes your second question.
33:38Peter and Amy, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
33:41But you get to answer it first, which is great.
33:42So, good luck.
33:43Our second question is all about cuts of steak.
33:48We're going to give you five types of steak, but they have each had their first two and
33:53last two letters cut.
33:55Please fill in the blanks and give us a cut of steak you think are hundred found toughest.
34:01Thank you very much indeed.
34:02Let's reveal our cuts of steak and here they are.
34:05We have R-L-O, V-E-T, R-T-E-R-H-O-U, A-T-I-R and A-T-E-A-U-B-R-I-A.
34:19So, there we are.
34:21Peter and Amy will go first.
34:23So...
34:25OK.
34:26I know a few of them, but I think we'll go for the bottom one.
34:30Chateaubriand.
34:31Chateaubriand, say Peter and Amy.
34:33Now, Ethan and Fez, can you talk us through those other steaks?
34:37I think Sirloin, then Porterhouse is the third one, Flatiron is the fourth.
34:43But I think I'm going to go for Bavette for the second one.
34:46Bavette.
34:47So, we have Chateaubriand and we have Bavette.
34:49Now, Peter and Amy went for Chateaubriand.
34:51Should we see how many of our 100 said that?
34:56Chateaubriand is right.
35:01That goes down to 21.
35:04Very well done indeed.
35:05Meanwhile, Ethan and Fez have gone for Bavette.
35:08Should we see how many of our 100 said that for the second one?
35:13Bavette is right.
35:18And look at that.
35:19Downing up to five.
35:20Very, very well done indeed, Ethan and Fez.
35:22After only two questions, you are straight through to the final.
35:242-0.
35:26I mean, Peter and Amy, you're up against that.
35:29I mean, they took the best two answers.
35:31Should we go through the board?
35:32I think we should, yes.
35:33I think we've been given all of those answers.
35:35All the answers.
35:36At the top, Sirloin scored you 35.
35:40Porterhouse scored you 41.
35:43And you said Flatiron scored you 10.
35:46Lovely.
35:47Really well played.
35:48Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
35:49That brings us to the end of our head-to-head round.
35:51And it means, Peter and Amy, we have to say goodbye to you.
35:53This was only your first show.
35:54Yeah.
35:55What an amazing showing.
35:56Next time, we can take it one step further, I'm sure.
35:59But thank you very much for playing today, Peter and Amy.
36:02For Ethan and Fez, though, it is now time for the Pointless final.
36:09Congratulations, Ethan and Fez, you've fought off all the competition
36:12and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
36:21You now have a chance to win the Pointless jackpot,
36:23and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £5,500.
36:28APPLAUSE
36:31I don't fancy the jackpot's chances, I'll be honest.
36:34We've had one Pointless answer from you on the show
36:36and you've seemed incredibly capable with whatever we've thrown at you.
36:40So, yeah, I think you might be walking home with that jackpot.
36:43It's all a matter of what comes up on the board behind me.
36:45What would you like to see come up?
36:47Science, I think.
36:49Maybe American sports.
36:50Some capacity.
36:51They do come up from time to time.
36:53OK.
36:54Well, let's have a look.
36:55There'll be four things, as ever.
36:56Let's hope something here grabs you.
37:00Today's selection.
37:01TV series starring Jason Bateman.
37:03World waterbird species.
37:06Basketball achievements.
37:08Music composition.
37:10I don't know anything about basketball.
37:12I feel like you'll be doing basketball achievements
37:14and it falls down to me.
37:15I may crumble under pressure.
37:16OK, Fez, you've got to carry us, man.
37:18We'll do basketball achievements.
37:19Basketball achievements.
37:20Go for it, bro.
37:21You are going to go for basketball achievements, Trevor.
37:23Trevor?
37:24Yes, sir.
37:25Good luck with this.
37:26We are looking for any of the top 50 all-time scorers
37:31in the history of the NBA.
37:33So this is points scored in the regular season games,
37:37according to the NBA's official website.
37:40Or we're looking for the name of any basketball team
37:43that has won the NBA Finals more than once since 1947.
37:48All of this is up to and including September 2024.
37:51Best of luck to you in the studio and those of you playing at home.
37:55Thanks very much.
37:56Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
37:58All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
38:01If you can find three pointless answers, we will throw in a £500 bonus.
38:05Are you ready?
38:06Yeah.
38:07Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
38:09There they are.
38:10Your time starts now.
38:12NBA scoring leaders, I'm thinking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
38:15but it might be high scoring.
38:16Karl Malone, I'm not sure if he's scoring leader,
38:20it will probably be pointless.
38:22NBA teams that have won the Finals, the big ones that people won't know.
38:26So, like, the Houston Rockets,
38:29the Milwaukee Bucks won it for the second time recently.
38:32Yes.
38:33But I don't know if that's going to be fresh on the noggin for people
38:35because it just happened.
38:37I haven't even heard of them, though.
38:40OK, we've got Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks for the NBA Finals.
38:43And they're scoring leaders.
38:44Scoring leaders, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone.
38:47Do you think he's going to be low scoring?
38:49Yeah.
38:50Don't people know Houston Rockets?
38:51No.
38:52No?
38:53OK.
38:54I'm totally deferring to your judgment here.
38:55This is not the right shape.
38:56Yeah, because you want to avoid the Kobes, LeBrons.
38:58Yeah.
38:59Wilt Chamberlain might be a bit before.
39:01OK.
39:02OK.
39:03Yeah.
39:04OK.
39:05All right.
39:06So, what other three are you going to go for, what do you reckon?
39:07Houston, Milwaukee, the teams, and then scoring leaders.
39:12OK, that is your time up.
39:13Let's have your three answers.
39:14You were just rehearsing them just then, so let's have them again.
39:16That's right.
39:17I think we'll go for two teams that won the Finals, the Houston Rockets.
39:20Houston Rockets.
39:21Houston Rockets.
39:22And the Milwaukee Bucks.
39:23Milwaukee Bucks.
39:24And then for scoring leaders, Karl Malone.
39:27Karl Malone.
39:28Yeah.
39:29Of those three, best shot at a pointless answer?
39:32Houston Rockets.
39:33Houston Rockets we put last.
39:34Least likely to be pointless?
39:35I'm not sure about Karl Malone.
39:37OK, Karl Malone.
39:38And then the Milwaukee Bucks go in the middle.
39:39So, Karl Malone, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets.
39:42OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
39:44And here they are.
39:45We have Karl Malone, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets.
39:51Well, if any one of these turns out to be pointless, you will be leaving here with £5,500.
39:57What would you like to do with that?
39:59Ethan, I'm going to ask you first.
40:00I run a charity with my dad that does orphanages and charity surgery in Kathmandu in Nepal for kids.
40:07So, a lot of that will go to that, I think.
40:09Wonderful.
40:10Fez?
40:11My partner's currently finishing off her PhD, so maybe you can use some of it to send her away with her.
40:18I mean, oh, yeah.
40:19Oh, phew, phew.
40:20I was saying, ha, what?
40:21OK, lovely.
40:22Go somewhere with her.
40:23Go somewhere with her as a special treat after all that hard work.
40:27Yes, I see what you're saying.
40:28Well, very, very best of luck.
40:29It'd be really lovely if one of these turns out to be pointless.
40:31Let us find out if it might be Karl Malone.
40:33In this case, we're looking for NBA career scoring leaders.
40:36You've gone for Karl Malone.
40:37Let's see if Karl Malone is pointless for £5,500.
40:44Karl Malone is right.
40:46If it goes all the way down to zero, as you know, you will be leaving here with £5,500.
40:50Down we go with Karl Malone into the single digits.
40:53Still going down with Karl Malone.
40:54Still going down!
40:55Yes!
40:58Fantastic!
40:59Karl Malone was a pointless answer, which means you are taking home today's jackpot of £5,500.
41:05However, I did say if you had three pointless answers, you would get a bonus of £500.
41:10So let's just check your next answer, Milwaukee Bucks.
41:13For teams that have won the NBA Finals more than once, is Milwaukee Bucks pointless?
41:18Might this add to your jackpot?
41:23Well, Karl Malone took us all the way down to zero.
41:24Milwaukee Bucks has to do the same, and Houston Rockets, and we can add £500 to your winnings.
41:30Down we go.
41:31Single figures with Milwaukee Bucks.
41:32Still going down!
41:33Still going down!
41:34Oh!
41:35One!
41:36In which case, huge congratulations, you have just won £5,500.
41:45Trevor.
41:46I'm a bit of an NBA fan as well.
41:48That was magnificent.
41:49That was great work.
41:51The fact that you two have both done it head-to-head, you stood up.
41:55In the final, you stood up.
41:57What a team.
41:58Houston Rockets was also pointless, by the way.
42:01Oh, no!
42:02So you were really close to the triple pointless bonus.
42:06It's a great play.
42:07Let's have a look at some more of the pointless answers.
42:09Starting with the NBA career scoring leaders.
42:12Allen Iverson, what a player.
42:14Charles Barkley surprised me, actually.
42:16James Harden, Tim Duncan.
42:19In fact, everyone was pointless apart from the following.
42:21Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Shaquille O'Neal,
42:25Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, and Wilt Chamberlain.
42:29Incredible names there.
42:31Everybody else on that list was pointless,
42:33so well done if you said one of those.
42:35Moving on to teams that have won the NBA Finals more than once.
42:38This was a much harder category.
42:40There were only three pointless answers,
42:42and they were Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers,
42:46and San Antonio Spurs.
42:48So very well done if you said one of those at home.
42:51Thank you very much indeed, Trevor.
42:53And thanks once again to our winning players, Ethan and Fez,
42:55who take away today's jackpot of £5,500.
42:58Very well done.
43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
43:03to the test on pointless.
43:04Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Trevor.
43:06That is goodbye from me.
43:08Goodbye.
43:11tego
