Pointless Recap

Post by James Roper »

..... or at least an attempt at it anyway. Bear with me, I've never done a recap for Countdown either.

Pointless recap for 28th March 2013.

P1: Matt M + Mat F. They are friends.
P2: Linda + Alison. They're from West Wales.
P3: Nick + Ivan. From London and Lincolnshire respectively.
P4: Marian + Neil. They're from Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire respectively.

Pair 3 and Pair 4 are the two returning pairs. Alexander Armstrong runs through the format of the show as usual and informs us that the Jackpot this time is worth £4000 :geek:

And now, to our main feature....

Enjoy the show.

Round 1 Concerns: Music - Specifically Members of Family Bands

Mat F, Linda, Ivan and Marian choose to go first.

Alexander then shows the names of 5 Family Bands and all they have to do is name the first name of any member of them. The list of bands is as follows:

The Corrs, The Osmonds, The Jonas Brothers, The Jackson 5, The Nolans

(P1)Mat F goes for Bernadette Nolan which scores 13.
(P2)Linda goes for Sharon Corr which scores 11.
(P3)Ivan goes for Jermaine Jackson which scores 30.
(P4)Marian goes for Merrill Osmond which scores 4.
Then they come back down the line.....
(P4)Neil goes for Coleen Nolan which scores 36.
(P3)Nick goes for Tito Jackson which scores 29.
(P2)Alison goes for Jimmy Osmond which scores 26.

Matt M needs 45 to be safe from being knocked out. Has he done it?

...Yes! He answers Jim Corr, which scores him 15, knocking out P3.

Richard Osman reveals that Amy Nolan is the only pointless answer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, we're down to 3 pairs.

Round 2 Concerns: Languages - Specifically Spanish Body Parts :?

Matt M, Alison and Marian choose to go first.

Richard shows the names of 12 Spanish Body Parts (6 on each pass) and the contestants have to try and find the most obscure English-Translated Answer.

Board 1 is as follows (without the accents, sorry):

Musculo, Piel, Boca, Rodilla, Ojo, Estomago

(P1)Matt M goes for Musculo - Muscle which scores 49.
(P2)Alison goes for Estomago-Stomach which scores 13.
(P4)Marian goes for Ojo-Eye which scores 22.

Richard shows the entire board:
Musculo-Muscle-49, Piel-Skin-7, Boca-Mouth-19, Rodilla-Knee-0, Ojo-Eye-22, Estomago-13

Congratulations to anyone who got Rodilla-Knee :)

Then they come back down the line.....

Board 2 is as follows (without the accents, sorry):

Lengua, Codo, Nariz, Mano, Cerebro, Corazon

(P4)Neil goes for Cerebro-Brain which scores 34.
(P2)Linda goes for Mano-Hand which scores 18.

Mat F needs 6 to be safe from being knocked out. Has he done it?

...No! He answers Lung, which is incorrect, which scores him the maximum 100, knocking out P1.

Richard shows the entire board:
Lengua-Tongue-9, Codo-Elbow-0, Nariz-Nose-29, Mano-Hand-18, Cerebro-Brain-34, Corazon-Heart-6

Congratulations to anyone who got Codo-Elbow :)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Now, onto the head to head. They can now confer.

Question 1 Concerns: Premier League Forwards

They're shown 5 premier league forwards. All they have to do is name them. (A,B,C,D,E)

(P2) Say E, Wayne Rooney, scoring them 63. (Question Winner)
(P4) Say A, Frank Lampard, which is incorrect, scoring them the maximum of 100 points.

Richard shows the entire board:
A-Fernando Torres-22, B-Pavel Pogrebnyak-1, C-Bobby Zamora-11, D-Theo Walcott-19, E-Wayne Rooney-63 .
