[Applause] thank you very much indeed hello I’m Alexander Armstrong and welcome to pointless the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test let’s meet today’s players [Applause] and couple number one I’m Raj I’m from reading and this is my amazing daughter Jia couple number two hi I’m Lindsay

This is my husband Simon and we’re from Christ Church in Dorset couple number three I’m Sam this is my flatmate Tom I’m from Whitefield in West Yorkshire and he’s from Northeast England and finally couple number four I’m paty this is my friend James and we’re from bexi and these are today’s

Contestants there we are thank you all very much indeed lovely to have you here welcome to pointless that just leaves one more person for me to introduce he is here to grab your attention test your comprehension and somehow give full MFC a mention it’s my pointless friend it’s

Richard hi yeah welcome back everybody lovely to see you um well well an Epoch making show history is made today we have this new format where you come back you can play three times now instead of twice on podium one J and Raj welcome back third show and Paddy and James as

Well welcome back for your third show as well first time we’ve ever had it yeah it’s amazing Tom and Sam welcome you’re going to play your bit part in it it’s all going to be about podium one and Podium 4 uh Simon and Lindsay welcome back got through to the head-to-head

Last time but this is just their second show you know I tell you what though what if what if samon Tom the New Kids on the Block suddenly straight through way lifting the trophy could happen that’s I know it’s a very poor form yeah oh it would be incredibly rude now cine

And Maria were on their second show who were brilliant throughout and walked away with 3,000 tennis pointless answer really really impressively done as well very very good so as you gathered yes kather and Maria they won the jackpot so that means today’s jackpot starts off beautifully £1,000 there we are yeah so

If everyone’s ready Let’s Play [Applause] Points now as ever will be the pair with the highest score at the end of each round that gets eliminated that hasn’t changed no conferring till a head to head again no change there best of luck to four pairs our first category today is famous figures in science can you all

Decide in your pairs who’s going to go first who’s going to go second and whoever’s going first please step up to the podium okay and the question concerns first names of scientists Richard yep going to give you the surnames and initials of seven scientists on each board can you tell us

What their first names are please thank you very much indeed okay so we are looking for the first names of these seven scientists and we have got L pastur microbiologist 1822 B Pascal mathematician 1623 C Sean astronomer 1934 K Johnson mathematician 198 s Hawking theoretical physicist 1942

R Franklin chemist 1920 and a Noel chemist 1833 I’ll read those names again L Pastor B Pascal C San K Johnson s Hawking R Franklin and a Nobel there we are Raj hi welcome back thank you now then is there anything that we haven’t explored in the Raj

Backstory well I’m trying to get to all the seven wonders of the world as a part of my bucket list well hang on which seven ancient wonders no the the new what are the current ones uh seven of them yes no I knew that what are they

Coliseum yes uh Taj Mahal yes Petra yes J N yes mat picu yes and Christ Redeemer I’ve been to the Coliseum and the T Mahal and Watford I’ve been to uh I’m two out of seven Trip Advisor I think slightly overstated the case for Taj Mahal in Watford I’ll be a little bit

Okay yeah it’s okay but yeah yeah well good luck with that R um what are you going to go for who are you going to go for H this is not my favorite subject but I think go for Louie Pastor Louie pastor says Raj let’s see how many of our 100 people

Agree with Raj and Louie Lou is right down that goes to 66 I start yeah invented the pasteurization process and fruit pastels as well that was one of his thank you very much indeed Richard now Simon welcome back remind us about yourself I’m Simon um I’ve got two little boys um

And I’m an act that’s good that’s good enough Simon okay what are you going to go for on our board here um there’s two that I’m like 80% sure of but I’m not going to go for it 80% in an exam by the way is I’d say he was almost an a that’s

An a isn’t it 80% I’m not even sure the one I’m going for so I’ll go for Alfred Noel Alfred Nobel at the bottom there the chemist let’s see how many of our 100 people said Alfred Nobel it’s right 66 is the only score we have

At the moment and you pass it by a margin do that down to 27 s very good well played Simon yeah picked up where you left off on the last show there yeah famously invented dynamite but had 350 other patents Alfred Nobel including artificial leather had a

Patent for that leatherette Lea yeah if you like yeah thank you very much indeed Sam you are welcome to pointless thank you so much um tell us all about yourself um yeah so I’m Sam 21 I am a recent graduate in politics and international relations which means that

I am just currently unemployed I believe is the term I’m enjoying looking for work in the political sphere okay that’s the realm in which you’re looking ideally what is the job that would land at your feet prime minister get that in there got it okay got it Sam yeah the scientists the scientists

Yeah what do you uh um I’d say there’s probably three that I’m sure of um so the one that I think is maybe the most obscure would be Carl seagan Carl Sean Yeah Carl Sean let’s see how many of our 100 people said that Carl San is right 27’s our low

Score and 36 is where you end up with Carl not bad at all well played your astronomer science Communicator as well written all sorts of amazing books one putet surprise as well wrote One novel which was a contact which the Jodie Foster Matthew mccon film as well thank you very much indeed

Richard now then James welcome back thank you oh old friend of the series uh great to have you is there anything we haven’t yet explored in the James biography um so I’ve said so far climbing cooking also to hiking as well bit of hiking so yeah a little bit of

Hiking very good okay James this board’s all yours do you want to fill in all our blanks here okay so the obvious one would be Steven Hawkin after that the only one that I think might be right would be Bell Pascal but I’m not too sure I did do maths and undergrad I

Should know that I want to risk it and go for Burell Pascal Burell Pascal let’s see if that’s right you’re getting a nod from Tom how many of our 100 people said Burell oh he’s looking so good there yeah oh bad luck James undergrad came in handy yeah I’m afraid that scored you

100 points sorry I mean you know you don’t get to come back four times don’t you you’re aware of that learned two things there James wasted his undergraduate degree and also Tom doesn’t know what he’s talking about either that’s those are the two things we’ve learned do you know that one no

It’s Blaze Pascal Blaze Pascal not with a zed though no that would much cooler the French Blaze would have scored you 13 uh Steven Hawking was a pretty big scorer as you would expect he would have scored you 91 so you know what it’s probably worth going for the risk is

It’s only it’s only nine more points uh now these other two comes up a lot on the show Franklin do you know that rosin I know rosin Franklin abolutely she would have scored you eight points and the best answer on the board is Katherine Johnson the mathematician she

Would have scored you too well done if you said that thank you very much indeed Richard we are halfway through the round let’s have a look at those scores 27 Simon look at that very good Simon and Lindsay 36 where we find Sam and Tom 66

Is where we find Raj and J and 100 I’m afraid is where we find James and Patty I’m getting Deja Deja here um yeah Patty we need a low score from you but you might do it you can pull it out the bag you get first dibs on a brand new board

There so use them wisely come back down the line now will the second players please step up to the podium seven more scientists about to appear on that board you just have to give us the first names and we have got D fosy zoologist 1932 a Fleming bacteriologist 1881 P higs theoretical

Physicist 1929 I Newton physicist 1642 D Hodgkin chemist 1910 H Davy chemist 1778 and N bu physicist 1885 I’ll read those names again d fosy a Fleming p higs i Newton D hodkin H Davy n bore Patty Phil Us in on Paddy yeah so um quite into music and I’ve been recently collecting

Lots of vinyls have you a new record player you’ve got or is it yeah that the works do you buy new vinyl or you go around second hand um also been nicking those off my mom and dads that’s what they’re there for yeah yeah that’s what they’re there for okay now Paddy what

Are you going to go for you’re on a 100 we need we need a low score I mean uh this isn’t a great board for me but I think I’m go for one I think I know I’m going to go for the second one um Alexander Fleming

Alexander Fleming says Paddy no red line you’re the high scorers how many of our 100 said Alexander for Fleming that goes down to 53 153 is your total uh he was also an artist he used to paint with bacteria what do you think about that o I think that’s interesting

Presumably they they developed as spores landed on the bacteria very Daman Hur isn’t it ahead of his time yeah yeah extraordinary changed color and assumed I don’t know interesting yeah very interesting now then Tom we come to Tom tell us all about yourself Tom well um

My name’s Tom I’m a 22y old history student at Goldsmith um flatmate Sams I’m from Northeast England uh largely this is very vague to suspiciously vague what do you mean in the northeast of England whereabouts in the northeast of are you from well um I grew up in

Whitley Bay um just on the outskirts of Newcastle um until I was 12 and then moved to rural Cumbria a small village called olon and when I was lovely 12 and then lived there until I was 19 and then came down to London down to goldsmiths down to goldsmiths yeah there we are

Fantastic very good indeed uh now there you are you’re on 36 you can’t lose even if you scored 100 points which I know you won’t uh you’d be through to round two yes well I mean oh this is awful um science that really isn’t my strong

Point I mean my dad used to be a chemistry teacher as well which is terrible um so I’m going to play it safe I’m just going to say Isaac Newton Isaac Newton there we are couldn’t be safer than that no red line you’re already through how many people said Isaac

Newton let’s see appropriately enough how far the bar drops not very far is the answer 91 but it’s good enough Gets You Through 127 is your token when he was 20 he made a list of all the transgressions he’d ever done in a diary one of which was making a

Mouse strap on a Sunday and one of which was putting a pin in someone’s hat naughty Isaac Newton naughty Isaac Newton that’s why I invented gravity to get people because people used to call him hatpin guy yeah yeah he says I’ve got to do something to get get rid of

That nameing bring a bit of gravity to the sit hang on a minute on a minute yeah yeah that’s Isaac Newton that’s him Isaac thank you very much inde now Lindsay Lindsay welcome back back tell us more Lindsay tell us more uh yeah um

So I think we said last time I’m a stay home mom of two little boys Alexander Magnus give them another name check there um yeah I also like uh singing um a member of a choir locally where the funky little beach choir the funky little beach the seaside yeah nice down

By the seaside so do do you rehearse by the seaside um quite close to the seaside yeah we have been known to go down to the beach for a sing song If it’s nice weather but it’s all very chilled very good now Lindsay you’re on 27 you are also through to the next

Round doesn’t matter what you score what are you going to go for if we’re through I might go for the bottom one which I think is I’m not sure if it’s either I don’t know if you say Niles or like Niles bore I think I don’t know how or

Nil or something we’ll say nil shall we see what happens Niles B let’s see if that’s right uh no red line you’re already through how many people said it it’s right I have a very good feeling about this one Lindsay down he goes to 16 there you

Are 16 best score so far taking your total up to 43 very nicely done it’s Neil SP but it’s you might it looks like it’s SP ni for the last 30 years of his life he lived in a house that was provided to him by a brewery and they

Also gave him free beer thank you very much indeed now J hello welcome back tell us about J such as you haven’t told us before yeah well I don’t know if I should admit this but I actually have a degree in chemistry oh no no I know I know um right so that

Target of 86 points that you need to get to stay with us is achievable I reckon it’s doable are you feeling good about all these names here then not all these names I mean I feel like I can get you the fact that I don’t do Z zoology means

That it’s fine that I don’t know the first one I think so I think that’s forgivable um okay I probably should know higs and I don’t but I do know Dorothy hodkin so I’m GNA go dthy hkk Dy hodkin okay now here is your red line oh Pat and James not looking

Good Dorothy hodkin how many of our 100 people said it it’s right your through oh that’s our lowest score of the whole round there we are three majority hod contal total up to 69 you are into round two very well done nicely played J that turned out nice didn’t it

Yeah 64 Nobel Prize winner for chemistry Dorothy hodkin let’s fill in the Shelby the zoologist she’s the the gillers in the Miss Lady Diane fosy and she would have called you 26 now higs is the is is the higs boson guy yeah uh and his name is Peter I was

Gonna say Pete just for fun Pete yeah Pete higs Pete higs yeah lovely 10 points for Pete higs uh and Davey humfrey Davey Humphrey dve absolutely right and he would have scored you 26 points so Dorothy J best answer on the board well played there we are thank you

Very much indeed and that brings us to the end of our first round which means we have to say goodbye thirdly and finally it’s yeah to Pat and James I’m so sorry it’s been great having you you never got to see the head to head oh didn’t want know yeah well that’s a

Stroke of luck it’s been lovely having you on the show thank you so much for playing patty and James but for the remaining three pairs it is now time for round Two and there we are mysteriously whittel down to three pairs best luck to all three pairs our category for round two today is geography can you all decide in your pairs who wants to go first who wants to go second and whoever’s going first please step up to the

Podium okay let’s find out what the question is here it comes we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many US states and state capitals whose second left letter is a vowel as they could Richard yeah simply any of the 50 US states or 50 US state capitals whose

Second letter is a vow thank you very much indeed comp but it’s simpler than that Raj I’m just going to come straight to You I want to go for a state capital I think there’s something called Pierre Pierre that sounds that’s either a brilliant answer or let’s just leave it at that a brilliant answer Raj let’s see how many of our 100 people said Pier it’s a brilliant answer I

Think look at that a pointless answer very well done indeed roaj that adds £250 to the day jackpot takes the total up to £1,250 and it scores you nothing sets you up beautifully for the head to head very well done indeed J and Raj are not mocking about today are they it’s their

Third chance their last chance and they’re aiming to take it very well played Raj it’s the capital of a state I cannot mention because it also has a about as it second letter that’s exciting um okay Sam hi what are you gonna go for um so actually I’m I’m

Quite a big American football fan um so this that helps here and I know there’s a team they’re very unique they play with a blue pitch they like dye their grass blue and that is in Boise Boise Boise says Sam let’s see how many of our 100 people said Boise Boise he’s

Right down to one down to one Sam there must be another American football fan out there ah very well done well play Sam a lovely answer named by the the French Canadians cuz it was wooded so Boise as in the French for wood and we

Can can say where that is the capital of because it’s the capital of Idaho lovely ah lovely thank you very much indeed okay now Simon looking good pointless one Simon I know Raj totally stole my answer you’re learning fast S I will say bismar bismar bismar says

Simon let’s see how many of our 100 people said bismar bismar is right well our our highest score is one ah there you are you join him very well done indeed one for bismar this is very good really annoying to get a good answer in this round and then

Everyone else does as well that’s terrific yeah again state capital but of a state I can’t mention but not a million miles away from uh from Pierre Pierre and bismar are fairly near each other thank you very much indeed Richard while we’re halfway through the ram

Before we come back down the line let’s just look at those scores rage let’s just Delight in that very well done indeed beautiful answer there Pierre and then one for Sam and Tom and then one for Simon and Lindsay best of luck to all of you let’s come back down the line

While the second players please step up to the podium okay Lindsay remember we’re looking for any US state or state capital whose second letter is a vowel okay um I’ve got one in my head and I can’t think of anything else I’m just going to say it um Concord Concord yeah

Says Lindsay let’s see how many of our 100 people said Concord Concord is right it’s another pointless very well done indeed Lindsay that adds another £250 to today’s jackpot takes the total up to £1,500 scores you nothing and leaves your total at one brilliant this is terrific stuff normally we have to wait

For our bonus booster around before we have this sort of money to the jet we’re doing it that’s terrific stuff I will say however that Sam is the only person so far who’s had the good grace to give me an answer that I can actually give some information about because uh again

Concord the capital of a state I cannot mention can’t mention can’t thank you very much indeed okay now Tom wow oh I don’t envy you having to follow this I mean geography is normally a strong it’s a very strong point for me US geography isn’t as good isn’t as good but

Talahasse talahasse yes talahasse let’s see how many of our 100 people said no red line for you by the way no red line because um you’re joint High scorers let’s see what happens when we say Tallahasse it’s right ah three take up to four three I don’t remember the last

Time I saw a score that big that is uh yeah Talahassee is the state capital of Florida so again thank you you can I can actually say that it’s interesting because the state capitals are rarely the cities you think they’re going to be but they’re worth if you’re a quizzer

They’re worth remembering worth knowing yeah note to self this lot all over their state capitals clearly that’s the new periodic table isn’t it I think it is state capitals yeah state capitals I better bone up on those J okay what are you going to go for J I am so tense

Right now um I’ve got a few in mind excellent and I’m just trying to figure out which one would be hopefully pointless and I’m going to go with Salem Salem yeah Salem here’s your red line how far down the column do we get with Salem it’s right it’s

Another very well done indeed that adds another 250 for today’s jackpot take the total up to £1,750 scores you nothing leaves your total at nothing and gets you very very graciously into the head-to-head round very well done indeed that is brilliant stuff Five Points between six answers so

Less than a point per answer there in that round so terrific stuff now should we take a look at some other pointless answers Oregon by the way Salem is the the capital of um here are some more for you Carson City DOA Harrisburg you could had Lincoln that’s Nebraska Madison there’s Montgomery

Alabama uh there’s piia Salt Lake City uh TOA a few low scorers Columbus Harford Honolulu Jackson Lancing Nashville the lowest scoring state was Maryland which would have scored you two thank you very much indeed Richard that brings us to the end of the second round

And Sam and Tom I can’t believe it a high score of four is what’s going to get you sent back to to an early plunge I’m sorry I’m so sorry it’s been brilliant having you on and you have played incredibly well can’t wait to see you next time you’re

Going to knock it out the park Good Sam and Tom very well done indeed thank you you very right for the remaining two pairs it is now time for the head to Head congratulations Simon and Lindsay J and Raj you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,750 but before we play the head-to-head let’s see if we can’t boost that jackpot a bit by finding some

Pointless answers here goes we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Tintin characters as they could Richard uh yes six names on the board two of them are tinting characters that nobody can mention uh either of those will add 250 to the jetbook but be careful there

Are also two red herrings there once we have made up so try and avoid those thank you very much indeed so we’re looking for the pointless Tintin characters amongst these six and here we go we have got Robinson sucro Professor Cuthbert calculus Bianca Caster Fury General alkazar ropos and

Espiritu there we are Simon and Lindsay we go to you first do you know any us go on should we go for that yeah we’ll go for um Professor CBR calculus please you’re going for Professor calculus let’s see how many of our 100 people said that is it pointless but it’s

Right yeah down to three for calcul so it’s right but not pointless um J and Raj what are you going to go for it’s just a it’s a wild guest for me so I have no idea so a bianc c Fury you’re always quite good at this let’s just do

It Bianca Casta Fury Bianca Casta Fury let’s see how many of our 100 people said that Bianca Casta Fury well it is right the anchor Caster Fury the millanes Nightingale and that is a pointless answer very well done indeed very good very well done listen

You got knocked out two shows in a row you’ve going to three pointless answers in a row now very very impressive stuff yes she’s a op um in the Tintin books um are you good on Tintin absolutely yeah oh really okay the trouble is I wasn’t I didn’t think

She was going to be pointless bian Caster Fury okay so what do you think the two incorrect answers are there Robinson sucro and spiritu is absolutely right both of those were red herrings both of those incorrect um and of the other two so one of them scores points

And one of them um well I would have thought I I thought I thought General Alazar might be the other point but Ras populus is the uh is probably the pointless one resta populus two books I think well done we had £250 to your fee for the show congratulations nice and general alkazar

Would have scored three well done at home if you said Bianca Casta Fury and ARA populus thank you very much indeed well done you managed to find one pointless answer which means you’ve added £250 to the jackpot and it now stands at a beautiful round £22,000 look

At that brilliant but who’ll be paying for it let’s find out in the head-to-head As ever the first PIR to win two questions we’ll be playing for that jackpot you’re now allowed to confer best of luck to both pairs your first question is all about great birds Richard we’re going to show you five pictures now of birds which have great in their name we’ll

Show you the word great plus alternate letters of the rest of the bird’s name but what are these birds called please thank you very much indeed let’s reveal our five great birds a great bsad D B great g n a a c great hrbl l d great SU

And E great s o t d o d e k r now then Simon and Lindsay you get to go first I think I’m F short of see want to go for quickly bu I don’t okay I don’t think it’s right um uh the the second one

Great great green mcco great green mcco say Simon and Lindsay now J and Raj do you want to talk us through those other great birds yeah I think C is Great Horn Bill I’m just making that up so hopefully it fits and then great spotted woodpecker H do you think you can figure

Out any others I think a I don’t know if that’s a rude word or not no oh wait oh oh no um should we go horn bill or was that let’s go for E you go for okay cool give a great great spotted woodpecker great spotted woodpecker okay

So we have great green mcco and great spotted woodpecker Simon and Lindsay have gone for great green mcco for B let’s see how many of our 100 people said that it’s right down it goes 21 meanwhile Jer and Raj have gone for great spotted woodpecker for E let’s see

How many of our 100 people said that is right and down he goes to 41 the green very well done Simon and Lindsay after one question you are up one n well play there’s only one answer that are beaten great green mcco great hornbill is right but it wouldn’t have

Beaten it great hornbill would have scored you 27 points the first one not a rude word nearly is great bustard yeah exactly great bustard close relation of great McFly um would have scored you 23 points and this is the best answer do you know this you’re pretty good on

Birds normally but I don’t know that I do it’s a very useful word in Scrabble sometimes it gets rid of some very dodgy letters and it’s the great skua SK SK UA I would have scored you nine points so well done if you said that the great

Skuer thank you very much indeed Richard okay now here comes your second question J and Raj you get to answer it first but you have to win stay in the game so good luck our second question is all about sausages sausages impossible to say sausages without saying M um yeah five

Clues to things to do with M sausages thank you very much indeed let’s reveal our five M sausage Clues and here they come we’ve got shape of Scotland’s traditional lawn sausage ke bazer is a type of sausage originating from this country K9 breed from the German for Badger dog informly

Known as a sausage dog coiled variety from the north of England which won protected status in 2011 and YouTube Star whose Christmas number one singles of 2018 and 2019 both centered round sausage rolls Jaa and Raj you’ll go first I think we should go for the last

One yeah okay yeah ever I think we’re gonna go for the last one and I think it’s lad baby lad baby say J and Raj lad baby okay now then Simon and Lindsay over to you can you talk us through that board okay do you know

Any the dog um yeah the dog is one of my favorite dogs it’s said dend um but I don’t know I think because of the sausage dog it might be a little bit too obvious maybe um being Scottish originally um I know we call it a square sausage it’s not technically a square

Though so I don’t know if um should we go for the square sausage I’m not sure of the other ones yeah I’ll be patriotic and go for this Square sausage why not the square sausage the lawn sausage being Square so we have lad baby and square uh Jr and

Raj have gone for lad baby for the YouTube Star how many people said that it’s right that goes down to 10 very well done indeed let’s see Simon and Lindsay where the square lawn sausage ends up square for the lawn sausage it’s right oh down to 24 which means well

Done jiren Raj you’re back in the game after two questions it’s one all um lad baby best answer on the board very well done could not have been beaten let’s fill these in the keilbasa is Polish actually polish for sausage ah would have scored you 18 points thean breed

You’re absolutely right the daxon would have scored 48 and the coil variety is Cumberland Cumberlands absolutely and that would have scored you 35 points okay now here comes the third question whoever wins this goes through to the final place for that jackpot of £2,000 best of luck to both pairs our third

Question is all about items found in a bathroom in French Richard yeah we’re going to show you the French names now are five things you might find in a bathroom uh whichever team gives us the lowest scoring English answer is going through to that final very best of luck let’s

Reveal our five French bathroom items and here they are we’ve got and Simon and Lindsay the first one is it you think sorry um should we go for the top one then what do you think disappointing bday is not okay do you think yeah okay we’ll go

For the top one and say soap please okay s soap say Simon and Lindsay now J and Raj so um Luchia shower I think I think La is toothbrush La Mir is mirror should we go for it yeah we’re gonna go for toothbrush Bradon toothbrush so we have

Soap versus toothbrush um Simon and Lindsay have gone for soap let’s see how many of our 100 said that that goes down to 50 exactly halfway down the column J and Raj will toothbrush be higher or lower than halfway let’s find out toothbrush is right oh

54 54 for the toothbrush so soap just Glides through there and it means after three questions Simon and Lindsay are through to the final 2-1 very well played great head-to-head everyone let’s deal with the uh the highest answer and the lowest answer first sh with the highest answer lir U absolutely right to

Avoid it always avoid the mirror uh would have scored you 89 points now La Robin is the best answer you know that one Robin it’s a I did it at school for sure it’s a tap tap absolutely and that would have scored you four points now

You knew the answer to this one louche it is a shower and would have seen you through to the final as well because it would have scored you 42 points unlucky thank you very much indeed Richard the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round J and Raj this

Is it we knew you’d get through to the head-to-head but we very much hoped you might see the final oh I’m sorry and you fell at the French hurdle that’s Ro it’s been lovely having you on the show thank you so much for J and Raj wonderful but

Answers what are you going to go for have you got any Al so we’ll say alante um in Spain just because we happen to have been here okay for the for the bter for the Welter espia yeah um and um places in Italy should we say chin yeah

Yeah we’ll say chin churin for the jro and and uh Remy is another place that I’ve heard of and Remy in Italy as well for the jro okay of those three which should we select as our best shot at a pointless answer um what shall we see

Anything Ry okay Remy goes last least likely to be pointless um what was the other Alan and then churin goes in the middle okay well let’s put those answers on the board in that order then and here they are we have got Alicante Turin and

Rony well very very best of luck I mean you you certainly had to pluck those out of thin air but you never know if you were to win 2,000 quid what would you like to do with it Simon I’m going to ask you first uh well we’re doing up the

House so um I would like to turn the um living room into a cin room probably oh two grand might do that well yeah May yeah yeah L go some way towards it yeah I want to spend it on more practical things like new carpets and new

Curtains oh curtains to keep the light out yes that’s IDE yeah we could we could conve them and do together cin yeah no one looks at the carpets if you’ve got a massive project do I mean well let’s see you’ve got your three answers there let’s see what happens

Alante in this case we are looking for any start or finish point on the VTA espia if alante is right and is pointless you leave here with £2,000 how many people said Alicante it’s right alakan is only right sorry oh my goodness maybe you knew that somewhere

In the back of your mind Alicante now could win you 2,000 quid just has to go down to zero when single fig still going down with it’s four oh my goodness it was great okay for your next two answers we turn to the Ziro dalala your answer number two is cheerin again we’re

Looking for any start or finish point on any of those stages let’s see churin is it pointless oh no oh I thought that sounded very likely anyway let’s not worry about that cuz we got Ry in the back pocket let’s go for Ry this is your third and final answer

Your last shot at that 2,000 quid jackpot how many of our 100 people said Remy again we’re with the Jiro dalala let’s see how many people named R is a starting or finishing point oh oh bad luck oh very well done well alakan was a great answer but I’m afraid you didn’t

Manage to find the all important point to answer so I’m afraid you don’t win today’s jackpot but you have been fabulous it’s been lovely having you on the show and remember you get to take home a pointless trophy as well that’s all good yeah played it the right way

And tough if you know about cycling and stuff that’s not the first thing that would come to mind let’s take a look sh we at some of the pointless ansers we’ll start with the tour of Britain these would have been pointless answers you could have said altering them baric up

On Tweed Gates said war everything all the starting finishing points part from Manchester Newcastle Glasgow and Burkin everywhere was the pointless very well done if you said one of those let’s move on now shall we to the jir daania uh Kom m San Marino traviso everywhere there

Points apart from Verona and bologna so it’s kind of unlucky that Chuan and Ry weren’t there there’s all sorts of different places there and the V you could have had um Andor laa the capital of Andora stage started there benador was pointless answer Toledo torva the only ones that scor points there were

Madrid alante bil BAU and oo so very well done if you got Point answer at home and unlucky in the studio well played thank you very much indeed Richard Simon and Lindsay thank you for playing I’m sorry you didn’t win the jackpot today that’ll therefore roll
