First please step up to the Podium okay and the question concerns musical acts with places in their names Richard on each board we’re going to show you the names of seven musical acts they each got a place in the name but we’ve left out that place and replaced it with a clue to the place so

Can you tell us the names of these musical acts please thank you very much Richard this is going to be fun it’s a slightly new Twist on an old question format yes let’s see here’s our first Board of seven Clues who Frankie Goes to the center of the US

A chef um so Martin yes these uh these musical places what are you going to go for well there a couple there um I think after have to go with the top one Frankie Goes to Hollywood Frankie Goes to Hollywood says Martin let’s see how many of our 100 people said that Frankie

Goes to Hollywood it’s right down that goes to 61 not bad yeah welcome to point this Martin that clue also just it calmed everyone down because everyone goes oh I see what you mean okay I got it so it uh it did a good job for us thank you very much

Indeed Richard now then olle welcome back um tell us more about yourself OE uh so I’m a uni student in London um I also play a bit of rugby for the uni and used to play for wasps the academy which is quite cool so yeah I’m so you’re you’re

A back are you H scrum half yes smallest player on the pitch like every match basically very good now olle these uh these places so I reckon I’m going to go for the third one uh Rex Orange County Rex Orange county says Ollie let’s see how

Many of our 100 people went for Rex Orange County Rex Orange County is absolutely right 61 is the only score we have so far and you pass that with some way to go down to three Oliva Rex orange count very well done indeed well played OE

It’s a lovely answer yes the uh the stage name of Alex o’ Conor he’s got OC on OC is why he chose Iron County are you aware of his work by the way no I’m not because I think you would like it would I okay I’m I’m right recent album

Which was a pretty big hit I think you’d enjoy very much Pony it was called pony that’s an unfortunate name for an album it’s got be good if you’re going to call it that yeah exactly lot to live up to got a lot absolutely thank you very much

Indeed Tom welcome back to the show now where did you go out in the first we went around in the second round second then it was into the head to head into the head if you draw a straight line you’re you are heading to the final this

Time surely oh dear oh dear how how do you feel it’s going so far I feel as it’s going going good it’s going good it’s going good yeah yeah yeah all right good Tom what are you going to go for um I think I’m going to go for the former

Name of a major Indian city and I think that’s Bombay Bicycle Club Bombay Bicycle Club says Tom let’s see how many of our 100 people said Bombay Bicycle Club it’s right 61 still the high score in you pass it that goes down to 19 very well done

Indeed Tom 19 Bombay Bicycle Club it’s good work so far we’re getting all the cool ones that’s good yeah from uh from North London Bombay Bicycle Club thank you very much indeed now Cassie Cassie welcome back remind us all about yourself uh my name is Cassie I work in

HR for a large supermarket chain and what about your spare time Cassie I really like baking um I really like um at the moment I’m experimenting with lots of different kind of loaf cakes so chocolate loaf cakes pineapple upside down loaf cake I think it’s cuz I got a

New tin when we moved house so I think I’m just a bit excited about that’s how new tins work yeah very good okay now Cassie you’re the last person to have this board do you feel like filling in all those blanks okay uh I’ll try uh so

The Iberian country is Portugal the Man uh capital of the UK is London Grammar the next one I think I know and based on the scores of what’s happened I’m going to take a punt on it sorry George um and I’m going to go with Southeastern US State Mississippi shakes Mississippi

Shakes okay Mississippi Shake says Cassie let’s see how many of our 100 got that oh no oh no not Mississippi sounded great I was sure that was probably right um I’m afraid it’s not it scores you 100 points I’m sorry Cassie sorry Cassie it’s another name that another band you’d

Love Alabama Shakes oh of course the answer Alabama Shakes and they would have scored you 12 points you were absolutely right about Portugal the Man wouldn’t have been a bad score actually we scored you 29 right as well about London Grammar that’s a bigger score though would scored 54 and the Michigan

Settlements well I’ve got it’s got to be the Bay City roaders I can’t think other Bay City Bay City Bay City was FR San Francisco I thought it was just a cool name there a real place called Bay city and 38 points so the best answer on the

Board Ole Orange County well played very good indeed well we’re halfway through the round let’s have a look at those scores as Richard says ole that is the best score no arguing with that then we travel from there to 19 where we find Sam and Tom then up to 61 where we find

Martin and Ruth and then up to 100 where we find Cassie and George so I mean you know when’re all said and done George you’re it’s rescuable is what I think however we need a kind of we need kind of Rex Orange County kind of answer from

You I’d say for the next for the next round um okay we’re going to come back down the line now we the second players please step up to the Podium okay seven more uh place names that would complete the name of Acts going up on the board and here they come we’ve got burough of New York City containing Central Park Transfer region around the North Pole monkeys country with a star of David and its flag kamaka weo Ole 30

Seconds to reddish planet named after the Roman God of War kamazi most northwesterly contiguous US state capital of Tuscany and the Machine and Janet state capital of Mississippi okay there we are George remind us all about yourself George um I’m a delivery driver and in my spare

Time I like to draw cartoons and characters that sort of thing and play the drums as well so very good indeed like creative things that’s good do you make your own cartoon characters uh some of sometimes yeah so I’ve created a a little bit of a cartoon character along

The lines of a sort of A Garfield kind of vibe called uh Robin the blobbin which is Fat Robin so see is great already already good and listen for Christmas cards it’s a shoeing isn’t it Robin the blobbin let’s hope so let’s hope so if you ever need a

Voiceover wonder what Robin the blobbin would sound like very Gooding it’s good George the only thing that’s troubling me is that is that 100 on your on your on your Podium yes yes it’s bothering me it’s bothering me what’s going to make it better I think is if you find a really

Low scoring answer on that board indeed um I’m going to go with country with a star of David on its flag I’m going to go with Israel Israel Kam okay no red lines you’re the high scores how many of our 100 people said Israel it’s right that goes down to 30 very well

Done takes your total up to 130 yeah Hawaiian singer and Lyricist Israel kamaka Ole genuinely should I tell you what they call him is thank goodness thank you very much indeed Richard uh now then Sam now then welcome back thank you welcome back on target I

Would say lovely score from Tom in the first pass fantastic Tom over here when you start looking for work Sam are you actually going to go into politics is that the idea is that what you wanted to do I would like to start in sort of regional politics kind of working in

Sort of research maybe well uh listen Sam you are on 19 the great news is even if you PT this out into the long grass you are still through this is true this is true which obviously takes a bit of weight off my shoulders I’m going to say

The state capital of Mississippi is Jackson so it’ be Janet Jackson Janet Jackson okay let’s see how many of our 100 people said Janet Jackson no red line for the lovely reason you’re already through Jackson’s right that goes down to 30 there we are 49 is your total I played Sam third show

Final show yeah round two head-to-head through to round two again looking good surely surely so far so very very good okay now Helen what about that from olly yeah very good very good pretty good do you ever go to ol’s events you know he does these drum and bass events yes I do

I have a great time with them yeah what else do you like to get up to so one of my interests is actually getting into like eating competitions with my friends and just with random people which you eat it how much you can eat yeah yeah what’s the most impressive slash um

Record uh I think it depends I think I ate like seven plates like chicken and rice once it was like proper meals and it was like I think it was in Vietnam and so like you use your hands to eat so I was just shoveling like chicken and

Rice into my mouth like in this hostal if you’d ask me which of these eight people was a comp P to I don’t think I would have said no now um Helen three Again by the way just to just to Heap more praise on Ollie is such a good

Score that you are just you’re soaring through doesn’t really matter what you say but it’d be nice to have a good answer what are you going to go for so I think I know a few of them but I guess it doesn’t really matter which one I go

For couldn’t couldn’t matter less so go for the one that I like the most Arctic Monkeys Arctic Monkeys okay here is no red line at all because you’re already through how many of our 100 said Arctic Monkeys down goes 57 takes your total up to a lovely round 60 very good well

Played safely through thank you very much indeed Richard Ruth welcome to pointless thank lovely to have you here tell us all about yourself uh well I work for wilch Council I work in elections and um I’m putting up with Martin at home being retired now uh and

He’s got got me out doing the gardening which I love you yes oh what fun that’s nice Martin is also there with you oh yes he tells me what to do okay does he inspect oh gosh yes yeah oh Ruth just think oh please give me have another

Election um okay you are on 61 your target is 68 or less okay and that board is all yours R talk us through it so the top one’s Manhattan and I’ve got um r God of War I think is Mars I don’t know what Kamari but the northwesterly US state is at

Alaska maybe and then the capital of Tuscany that’s got to be Florence and the Machine I think so I’ve got to choose which one’s the lowest yes G to go Manhattan Transfer that’s one you’re going to go for yeah I think there I think there’s another one you know that that’s going

To score much less but anyway anyway anyway there is your red line doesn’t matter it’s fine man hatan transfer how many of our 100 people said that it’s right I bet it gets you through and it does look at that It Gets You Through and it’s a good score still

A good score 29 nothing wrong with that it very beautifully takes the total up to around 90 and it’s actually the best answer of the ones that you knew oh really yes I don’t know what you were oh I was thinking kamazi Alaska was going

To be a it would it would have been if if if it had been correct oh I see it’s not a it’s not contagious means part of the you know the I see is part of the lower lower 48 as I say exactly oh I see exactly yeah Kami alas been correct it

Would have good job you didn’t listen to me one of my favorite desserts at Kamari Alaska it’s Kamari Washington is the answer there it’s actually the best answer on the board but have scored you 11 you’re quite right right about 30 Seconds to Mars uh quite a big scorer

Though I think because of the clue 53 for that and it is Florence in the machine excellent and that would have scored you 46 lovely job thank you very much indeed so at the end of our first round we have to say goodbye to one of

Our Pairs and that pair I’m afraid all George and Cassie that is your second life I know you’ll be back next time next time I think you will Triumph okay it’s been lovely having you on far too brief we’ll see you again then but thanks George and Cassie but for the

Remaining three pairs it’s now time for round Two there we are down to three pairs very well done everybody we made it through that round um olle well done you hats off to you lovely scor three in that round Sam and Tom our lowest combined scorers as well so very well done everybody Martin Ruth just lovely

To have you along is the point yes best luck to all three pairs our category for round two this afternoon is Motorsport 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 let’s find out what the question is here it comes we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many 2020 Formula 1 drivers as they could Richard yeah this question comes around every year doesn’t it must be like the 12th time we’ve done it which is rather nice um yeah we’re

Looking for any of the 20 drivers who started the 2020 F1 season please is there any of those 20 drivers no replacement drivers just the uh the 20 who started the season thank you very much indeed so Formula 1 Martin do you follow Formula 1

No Str this is going to be fun it will be I’m you sort of did you listen to it a little bit I it vely I listen to it I look at the reports on yeah that’s you know see who’s one and I think oh G boring I’m afraid trouble is the only

One I know is going to be so high I’m have to say in what spos leou Hamilton well listen you might be taking the only answer off the board that others know so actually tactically not a bad thing to say but Lewis Hamilton let’s see how

Many of our 100 people also said Lewis Hamilton 85 it it could be higher Martin 85 yeah as I say we do this question every year and every year the player on Podium once is leis Hamilton and every year it gets roughly their score cheers thank you

Very much indeed Richard Sam yeah so Formula One is it a is it a sport you follow um I wouldn’t particularly say a follow it but um my parents are quite big fans so I suppose I’ve taken a bit through osmosis I suppose um so the

Answer I want to go for is Lando Norris Lando Norris Lando Norris let’s see how many of our 100 people said that it’s right you pass 85 very well done single figures Sam single figures nine for Lando Morris very well done Sam yeah peric young British driver Lando Norris very good

Answer we’re going to hear an awful lot more about him I suspect thank you very much indeed Richard okay olle so I was going to go of Lando Norris oh oh that’s good oh good sorry that I thought that meant oh I’m all at

Sea here but no not all I’m very at se now um oh the only ones I can think of which I’m not sure it’s 2020 is Michael schumacker but I I honestly can’t remember any 2020 ones okay is that we going to yeah you’re going to submit Michael schumacker okay

Well let’s see what happens when we say Michael schumacker sorry Ollie blanked I’m afraid not Michael schumacker that scores you 100 points yeah afraid not one of the uh the legends of F1 of course one of the greatest drivers of all time but U yeah an incorrect answer

Thank you very much indeed Richard well we halfway through the round that didn’t take long at all uh let’s see where we are nine is where Sam and Tom are sitting very very well done indeed 85 is where Martin and Ruth are and then 100

We find olle and Helen so Helen and Ruth I think it’s in your hands as to who stays and who goes very very best of luck with that we’re going to come back down the line now well the second players please step up to the Podium okay so then Helen you are the high scorers cool there will be no red line to guide you on this column uh we just need a lovely low score from you how are you feeling about Formula 1 so it’s my guilty pleasure for oh oh thank goodness that um thank goodness for

That but it’s just trying to pick one that is the lowest yeah that is the difficult thing yeah um because my favorite drivers are the ones that of course everyone knows from now on when people say what’s you can just say it’s my pleasure it’s not nothing guilty

About it look look what it’s going to do for you we don’t know that yet but okay so I’m gonna go for George Russell George Russell says Helen okay no red line for you there Helen because you’re the highest scorers at the moment let’s see what happens when we say George Russell it’s

Right oh look at that it goes down to two very well done indeed Helen 102 for George Russell very well done another young brtitish driver with a big future drives for Williams so it’s an uncompetitive car so he’s not done anything spectacular but uh Hees the

Best of what he’s got very good very good indeed thank you very much indeed Richard now Tom oh Tom is this is it a pleasure of yours guilty or otherwise no it’s not it’s not a pleasure of one I mean I find it a bit too loud personally

You turn down turn it down yeah turn it down no turn it down turn it down so I think I’m going to go for it’s more of a household name um max ven I think it’s from Max ven okay let us see how many of our 100 people went for Max for stappen

There is your red lines lovely and high thanks to Sam’s brilliant answer it’s right and you’re through down it goes to 24 very very well done indeed 33 is your total you are through very nicely done yeah Max foren from uh from the Netherlands

Started an F1 at the age of 17 his dad was an F1 driver as well yos for staffen thank you very much Richard uh now then Ruth oh Ruth gets a little bit tense at this point because we are looking for a score of 16 or less from you it’s not my

Subject sorry okay sorry um the option here is either you make up a brilliant name good which is which could which could be great or you just go for a name that you know that you know who knows yeah I’m going to say David colard cuz I know he was a Formula

1 driver you should have made up a name yeah David colard okay David card here’s your red line uh David colard we say no I’m afraid not David card that scores you 100 points takes your title up to 185 yes sorry former F1 driver of course

And now does lots of stuff on the the channel four coverage as well David card um I know lots of people at home this will be like their dream category so I’ll take you through some of the low scorers Louis Hamilton were the biggest scorer followed by Sebastian vettle and

Max for stappen but low scorers you would have got six car signs five for Alex alurn you’d have got two for estban okon and Lance stroll you’d got one for Kevin Magnus Roman groan Serio Perez and Nicholas latifi and we got three pointless answers Antonio zovatti Daniel

Kat and Pierre gazley very well done if you said any of those thank you very much indeed Richard well we find ourselves at the end of the second round which means we have to say goodbye to another pair Ruth and Martin but it’s only we shall see you again next time

We’ll look forward to that very much indeed but meantime thank you very much Ruth and Martin but for the remaining two pairs it is now time for the [Applause] [Applause] Head-to-head very many congratulations Sam and Tom Helen and olle you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play with that jackpot which currently stands at £1,000 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 this is

Going to be fun we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many styles of shoe or boot as they could Richard six shoes or boots two of them will be pointless answers shoes or boots no one mentioned two of them however are ones we’ve just made up so can you find

The two pointless answers see if you can add 250 quid a piece to the jackpot okay so let’s reveal our list of six shoes or boots only four of them were made for walking here we go we’ve got goo boot Asen putle espad Hazelwood boot sling back monk

Strap Sam and Tom you go first remember a Collegiate approach here is in everyone’s interest what are you thinking I mean I’m sure mon drops a boo I’m sure goo boots goo boot definitely is a boot but I’ve heard of it so I imagine it it won’t be pointless um

Espad dril is a boot I’m pretty is a shoe it’s a sh yeah yeah yeah it is yeah yeah but do you think it’d be pointless or not I don’t think it’ll be pointless I don’t think it’ll be pointless what you’re saying Ash and putter sling back

What you want I mean I think monkstrap might be a sandal maybe I don’t know I don’t know what you guys think but yeah should do let’s say monk strap monk strap yeah we’ll go for monk strap let’s hope let’s hope let’s hope you haven’t fallen into the monks trap

Oh okay is it a pointless answer it’s right okay it’s right monk strap it’s are very well done indeed look at that very well done Sal andp good work Helen and olly over to you we found one of the pointless answers can we find the other it’s been a while

Since we had the double pointless in this in this booster rank double Point lot pressure what are you going to go for oh go go goo is quite a cool name I’m not sure about goo be what is it um so you guys seem to think go it’s pointless yeah I don’t

Know but it definitely is um esad that is one but that won’t be pointless yeah Hazelwood boot I don’t back it sling back ashon pule sounds like it could be something ashon does yeah sure yeah I get if you want a clue I can confirm that Ash and P is

Something there you are it’s very rare that Richard steps out I like to help out yeah that’s amazing um so I reckon either Ash and go go boot or sling back or sling back which one do you reckon I like the I like the word sling back I

Don’t know why should we just go for that one then a back a sling back yeah sure you’re going to go for going for sling back going for sling back let’s see sling back is that is that a pointless answer pointless boot or shoe oh listen it’s a boot or a

Shoe I’m guessing a shoe unfortunate yeah there we are pretty close well done uh yeah there’s still a pointless answer out there well done forgetting one though um that is nice now if you had said Ashen p is an incorrect answer ashon p is is German for

Cinderella um esil we know is a uh we know is a shoe that would have scored points though so those remaining two one of these things is lying so go go Boot and Hazelwood boot one of them is uh pointless answer and one of them is incorrect normally our incorrect answers

Have a kind of there’s a bit of a gag in there so Hazelwood boot is is probably a character from something maybe or go go boot is how how interesting Professor do you go on I’m going to go for goo boot as the other pointless answer so you think goo boot

Go I I’m certain it’s a real thing because I could describe it I think so it’s kind of like they’re kind of like quite zy stood out colors they usually up to the knee quite strapped for leather maybe actually leather like quite toly plasticky and then like

Platformed he’s perked up isn’t he he is wow there you go you’re absolutely right go go boots as a pointless answer uh and Hazelwood boot Lee Hazelwood is the guy who wrote These Boots of made for walking for Nancy son used to sing with Nancy sonra as well Le got that amazing

Do you know the song Jackson by yeah that’s his his voice that incredibly gravity voice um so well done at home if you said monkstrap and go go boot greatec doesn’t sound like a very comfortable shoe I’m going to put that out there uh a monk strap is it’s a

Man’s shoe with a with a broad buckle and belt oh a monks trap monks trap there we are okay thank you very much well well done listen you managed to find one pointless answer so you’ve added 250 quid to today’s jackpot takes the total up to

£1,250 but who is going to play for it let’s find out in the head-to Head now the first pair to win two questions we’ll be playing for that jackpot you’re now allowed to confir there we are best of luck um here comes the first question and it concerns herbs Richard yeah five pictures now of herbs used in cooking uh we’re going to give you alternate

Letters of their names as well but what are these herbs please thank you very much indeed let’s reveal the five herbs here they come a c i e b SG c lvg d csmr and e rsmr there we are now Sam and Tom you get to go first do you think so you

Going to go for um I think we only know the more obvious ones which is not great but we do like our cooking as well do like our but um I think yeah want to go through yeah CH well I mean I do like the cheese as well

Actually you have a good um well a good cheese with some chives in it so I do think yeah a for hies okay H chives say Sam and Tom Right Helen and olle can you talk us through those herbs um again I think we only know the obvious on b and

E i trying to think if we know D and C no no Cosmo no I I back b b do you think that’s less R yeah so b b Sage you’re go for B Sage so we have chives and we have Sage Sam and Tom went for Chives for a

Let’s see how many of our 100 said chives Jes is Right 60 meanwhile we have Sage from Helen and olle for B let’s see how many of our 100 said Sage wow only six of them didn’t say s so there we are there’s our there’s our result Sam and Tom after one question

You’re up one nil uh you’ll be good at this I suspect so C isage loveage and that would have scored you 42 points we’ll leave D for the moment uh cuz e is Rosary as I think everyone knew Rosemary would have scored you 93 points some big scorers here uh this one

That looks like it’s K oh or Kashmir which isce yeah but it’s not um I don’t know it’s got little chomal flowers there which is lovely um I have no idea what that is it’s got a slightly bit of lemony taste M cost Mar or cmary very well don’t you said that home

Best answer up there three points don’t know that one never heard of it have you bitter lemon in nor of never heard of it no um thank you very much indeed well okay now second question Helen noly you have to win this one to stay in the game

You get to answer it first which is great so good luck with that um our second question this afternoon is all about m in mythology Richard yep five uh mythology questions the answers all begin with a letter M marvelous okay let’s reveal our five Clues here they

Come God of Commerce and travel often likened to Hermes s sight of Throne of Zeus and home of the Gods 57 King who asked a God for all he touched to turn to Gold five Gorgon with snakes for hair and power to turn onlookers to Stone six

And the nine goddesses of poetic and musical inspiration five Helen and olle will go first so I think we’ll go for the third one the king who ask of God for all he touch tenter gold Midas Midas say Helen and olle right Sam and Tom talk us

Through the board yeah um I don’t know the top and bottom ones cuz when I saw god of Commerce and travel I was like Hermes and then I was like oh wait that’s not m is it um but I know that the sight of the Throne of Zeus and the

Home of the Gods is Mount Olympus and the Gorgon with snakes for hair and the power to turn on Lookers toone is magusa so which one do you think would be better maybe Medusa Mount Olympus Medusa which one maybe Olympus you thinking about Olympus I think so I think Medusa yeah

Not they’re both known both known yeah let’s go for Mount Olympus Olympus okay Mount Olympus say Sam and Tom so we have Midas and we have Mount Olympus Helen and olle went for Midas how many of our 100 people said Midas 85 85 a big one that uh meanwhile

Sam and Tom have gone for Mount Olympus the site of the Throne of Zeus and home of the Gods how many of our 100 people said that well done look at that you’ve been very good with your scoring here Sam and Tom 34 for that and it means that after

Only two questions you are straight through to the final 2-0 yeah very well played jent let’s fit in the rest of this board shall we the uh the god of Commerce and travel I think is Mercury Mercury is absolutely right would have scored you 22 points uh think you’re

Right to go for Mount Olympus above medus you would have scored more points would have still seen you win cuz she would have scored uh 76 and the nine gesses a poetic musical inspiration Muses Muses absolutely and that would have scored you 39 points this is a lovely uh you

Know having people coming back three times now yeah which I’m really rather liking and today shows the reason why cuz Helen and olle we’d be sending them home yeah work for that but we’ll be seeing them again next time which is absolutely lovely and they went from

Round one all the way through the head to head this time and Sam and Tom we’ve been terrific now for three shows uh you know and they’ve gone like further and further each show and now finally get a chance to play for the jackpot that’s nice isn’t it because of this three

For the 1990s and the 2010s please 1990s 2010s it is okay best of luck J three questions here it’s about uh people who’ve had careers with a bit of longevity this one cuz this is what we’re looking for we’re looking for any act who had a UK number one album in

Both the 1990s and the 2010s we’re looking for any actor who was uh nominated for an Oscar for film’s release in the 1990s and the 2010s or we are looking for any cabinet minister from the 2010s who was first elected as an MP in the 1990s so as I say a bit of

Longevity 1990s and 2010’s number one album same for uh acting nominees and cabinet ministers from the 2010s who were elected in the ’90s very best of luck okay there we are now as always you’ve got up to a minute to come up with three answers all you need to win

That jackpot 1,250 quid is for just one of those answers to be pointless are you ready yeah be let’s put 60 seconds up on the clock there they are your time starts now okay cabinet ministers ask Vince kable yeah that’s not a bad one who else when was Philip hmond elected I

Think Oliver Le Oliver Le was he elected in the ’90s do you think so who else I’m trying to think like early 2010’s cabinet ministers you’d be looking at like like um who is who is like foreign minister who was I think Philip Almond’s probably a good shout you’re also

Probably looking at who’s been like Secretary of State for spot who’s be dcms um or Scotland Scotland Scottish guy in because you can see the L thing no I can’t remember um Oliver Lewin Philip Hammer Oliver Lewin Vince cable Vince Kell who and Simon Hughes Simon Hughes who’s that he was the education

Think he was he was a Liv dead minister in the Coalition okay cool I think he was elected in 19 yeah you think so that’ll be fine I’ll take that what else okay so I’m going to say what H that win simonin cool allant there we are your

Time is up I now need your three answers what can you give me okay so what are we going oh we’re going cabinet ministers in the 201 Oliver Lewin Simon Hughes Simon Hughes and Vince cable Vince cable I mean these are three great answers yeah which of those is your best shot do

You think at a point Simon Hugh Simon Hughes goes last least likely to be pointless probably Vince Vince cable and then all of letwin goes in the middle let’s put those answers up on the board in that order then and here they are we have got Vince cable Oliver Lewin Simon

Hughes well three goodlooking answers on the board there what would you do with your jackpot if you won that today Sam um so I’d be interested in going back over to new New Zealand to visit my friend who I record my podcast with and we have an idea to go to like the

Pacific Islands lovely very nice Tom how about you um I would love to go on a big long train journey um that would be my my dream London to Brighton it is it’s 38 hours really incredible right in all of these cases we were looking for uh

Cabinet ministers in the 2010s who were elected as MPS in the 1990s your first answer was Vince cable this was the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless but let’s find out for £1,250 is Vince cable pointless Vince cable is right I thought it’ll be pointless though people know

Cable don’t they down goes Vince cable through the 20s into the teens into single figure still going down with Vince cable still going down you got it fantastic there look at that first one first one Vince C pointless which means you are going home with today’s jackpot of ,250

Very well done very well done jent and it’s listen that’s why it’s lovely having you back for three shows otherwise we wouldn’t have seen this and you know what it’s great when a c CR comes up you know about you clearly do Oliver Le was appoint this answer as

Well so very very well done Simon Hughes was not Philip Hammond was though as well so you knew all sorts of answers there’s going to be loads there um it’s a good category this an interesting one so at home I suspect you’ll be having to go maybe some of the other questions as

Well I’ll give you the pointless answers there’s familiar names in all of them so axu had UK number one albums in the 19 s and 2010s Iron Maiden Phil Collins Shai TW The Beatles they always do re-releases always it’s a good answer if you came up with that Bruce Springstein

Was a pointless answer for that as well uh as were Gary barow Michael bull um Paul Simon Paul Weller Stereophonics The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy all of those are pointless answers now the actors lots of names here as well alcino K planette Daniel de Lewis Francis mcdorman you could have had Anette

Benning Edward Norton Jeffrey Rush Helena bonam car Laura D Matt Damon Woody harlson lots of good answers there uh and politicians now you could have said Harriet Haron there’s Philip Hammond and Vince cable vet Cooper was a pointless answer Hillary Ben was a pointless answer Jack straw as well John whale Liam Fox

Michael Fallon lots and lots of points aners there very well done if you said any of those at home and congratulations show three and there we go Third Time Lucky thank you very much indeed thanks once again to Our Winning players Sam and Tom who take away today’s jackpot of

1,250 very well well done join us next time when we’ll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on pointless meanwhile it’s a goodbye from Richard goodbye and it’s goodbye from me [Applause] Goodbye Yeah
