APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hello. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
-And couple number one. -Hi, my name's Andrea. This is Linda. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
We're work colleagues and friends from Cheshire. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Couple number two. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi, I'm Wayne and this is my partner, Matt. We're from London. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Couple number three. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm Mike, this is my dad, Terence, and we're from Ballymena in Northern Ireland. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-And finally couple number four. -Hi, I'm Chris and this is Charlie. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
And we're friends from Heald Green Theatre Company in Manchester. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce - | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
a man known for his giant intellect, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
and I know this because he edits his own Wikipedia page. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. -Hiya. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-Afternoon. -And to you, afternoon. -How are you? -I'm very well. -Excellent. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-Our jackpot is coming along quite nicely, isn't it? -It is. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-It's a nice sum of money now. -Yeah. -No pressure for anyone here. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
Coming back, we've got Charlie and Chris, who will definitely have | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
one eye on that jackpot, because they were terrific last time. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Got all the way through to the head-to-head. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
One-all in the head-to-head and they had a final question on Tom Jones. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
And I think you knew everything on the board. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Just chose the wrong one in the end. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
But they are going to be very, very tough to beat. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
-But up against them today we have... There's a vicar somewhere. -Yes. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
Amongst our new players there is a vicar. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
There's also, for the first time ever in Pointless history, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
someone wearing a peach hoodie. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
First time. I won't tell you who it is! | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
-I'm none the wiser(!) -No. You'll find out as you go along. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
OK, I'll ask some searching questions. Thanks very much indeed. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
All our questions on Pointless | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
have been put to 100 people before the show. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer - | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Now, Rachel and Olwen didn't win the jackpot last time | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
so we add another £1,000 to that, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
so today's jackpot starts off at £7,750. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
There we are. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
OK, now, the pair with the highest score | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
will be eliminated at the end of the round. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Remember, there is to be no conferring during the round. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Our category for the first round today is... | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
It's People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
OK, and the question concerns... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Famous Georges, Richard. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
On each pass we'll give you seven descriptions of people | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
who are commonly known by the first name George. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Can you give us the best obscure answer? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
There's going to be 14 Georges to find at home. Very best of luck. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
We are looking for these famous people called George. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Our first board of seven reads like this. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
I'll read them one last time. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Linda and Andrea, you all drew lots before the show, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
and today you are going to go first. Linda, welcome to the show. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
-Thank you. -Great to have you here. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
What do you do in this office you share with Andrea? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
I'm a civil servant. I work for the Department of Health. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Which bit of the Department of Health? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
The section I work for, we buy pharmaceuticals | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
on behalf of the NHS. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
So do you decide which drugs are going to be bought by the NHS? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
We work in conjunction with pharmacists. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
They're not very good at being told what to do. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Now, Linda, I'm going to ask you something. Forgive me for this. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
But during a week, any given week, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
how often are you NOT approached and asked if you are Carol Vorderman? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
It has been asked occasionally. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
It occasionally happens that somebody doesn't ask you | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-if you're Carol Vorderman. -Yeah. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Now then, Linda... Linda, famous Georges. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
I think I know a few. But I think I'm going to play safe | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
and go for the composer of Rhapsody In Blue. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-I am going to say George Gershwin. -George Gershwin says Linda. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Let's see if that's right and, if it is, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
let's see how many of our 100 people said George Gershwin. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
32. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Not bad. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
Not a bad start. 32 for George Gershwin. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Yeah, born in 1898, George Gershwin. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
It's very recently that the last person born in the 19th century | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
in Britain died. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
-You can't meet anyone in Britain who lived in the 19th century. -Any more. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-She was called Grace Jones. -Was she really? -Yeah. Not the singer. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-LAUGHTER -Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Now, Matt, welcome to the show. What do you do, Matt? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-I'm an administrator for a charity in London. -What are your interests? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-Music, really. -OK, do you have pets, do you have...? | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-I have a dog called Lola. She's a puppy. -What kind of dog? | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-She's a pug. -I love a pug. -She's my daughter. -Aww! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Tell me something unusual about yourself, Matt. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
I can bark like a dog and I'm double-jointed down one side. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Which of those two would you like to see evidence of? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
If I'm honest, I'd like to see you bark like a dog. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-I'm not sure about the double-jointed thing. -Down one side. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
We'll go for bark like a dog, Matt. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
HE BARKS | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
That is like a dog. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
That is like a dog. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
I tell you what, people often send in pictures to Twitter | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
of their pets watching Pointless. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
There'll be a whole lot of dogs going, "Finally, something for me!" | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Now then, Matt, famous Georges. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
I actually, embarrassingly, only know two on there. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, I THINK I know two. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Um, I don't know if to chance it or not, | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
but I'll go with the playwright. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
And I'll say George Orwell. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
George Orwell says Matt. The author of Pygmalion. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Let's see if that's right, and, if it is, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
let's see how many of our 100 people said George Orwell. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Bad luck, Matt. I'm sorry. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Great barking, less good on the answering, I'm afraid. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
That scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-Sorry, Matt. It turns out you didn't know two. -No. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Thanks, Rich. Terence. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-Hi, Alexander. -There we are. There we are. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Welcome to the show. Where are you from? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
We live in Belfast but we're originally from Ballymena. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
And you are a vicar. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
I am a part-time vicar nowadays, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
but I was a full-time vicar for many years. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-And I see one of my bosses actually in the... -Certainly you do. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
..in the list. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
And what are your interests other than vicaring? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Obviously, vicaring takes up... Vicaring? Honestly! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-Is that the best I can come up with? -That's good. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-I was going to tell you I hatch, match and dispatch. -Indeed. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
-Hatch - baptisms. -Match - marriage. And dispatch. -Yeah. -Then burial. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
And dispatch - you run a courier company! | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Other than that, I enjoy cooking, and occasionally eating it. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
And I enjoy the foreign cuisine. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
I'll come to Mike on the next pass and see if he backs this up. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
What do you think is your best dish? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
Er... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
I like cooking paella. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-Right. -SPANISH ACCENT: -Paella. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-Excellent. -Without the accent. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-Exactly. -LAUGHTER | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Now, Terence, there is a board of Georges, a whole board of Georges. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
Only one of them has gone. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Which one are you going to go for? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Well, being a vicar, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
there are two of them there | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
that I SHOULD know the answer to. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
I think that I will plump for the Archbishop of Canterbury, | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
George Carey. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
George Carey says Terence. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:54 | |
Let's hear if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
Well, you're already lower than our highest score. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Will you go lower than 32? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Yes, you will. You are our new low scorer on 10. Very well done indeed. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Good work. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
Yes, he was the 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Was he a good boss, Terence? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
I never saw him much, really. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
-That's what I call a good boss! -He was slightly elevated. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Charlie, welcome back. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
Tell us the story of last time. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Well, we got through to the head-to-head. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
As Richard said, we got Tom Jones. I was really pleased. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
We knew four of the answers | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
and we plumped not for the lowest answer. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
Now, we know that you are Mr Theatre up there in Manchester. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
How long have you been running the theatre? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Running the theatre... HELPING to run the theatre. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Helping to run the theatre. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
I've been a member of the theatre for about 15 years, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
but I've only joined the committee this very year. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-So it's been a baptism of fire. -Very good indeed. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Now, Charlie, you are the last person to have all these Georges. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Do you fancy talking us through as many of them as you can? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
I think I know most of them. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
I think the first one's George Clooney. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
I don't know the preacher. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
George Foreman. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
I think it's George Lucas, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
and the answer I'm going for, the last one, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
which is the playwright, George Bernard Shaw. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
George Bernard Shaw, says Charlie. Let's see if that's right, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
let's see how many of our 100 people said George Bernard Shaw. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
Well, of our correct answers 32 is the highest scorer, 10 the low. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
38 for GBS. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
Yes, the only person in history to win a Nobel Prize and an Oscar, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
George Bernard Shaw. How about that? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Let's go through the rest of this board. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
It was George Clooney who played Danny Ocean. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Would have scored you 42 points. The 17th-century English preacher, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
this is the best answer on the board... | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
It was George Fox. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
Very well done if you said that. 5 points for that. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
The stage name of the comedian, of course, George Formby, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
When I'm Cleaning Windows. 61. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
And the Hollywood director was George Lucas | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-and he would have scored you 23. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Now then, we're halfway through the round. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
Let's take a look at those scores as they stand. 10, Terence. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
10, Terence. That was a cracking answer there. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Lovely low score, well done. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
That puts you and Mike in a very strong position at this stage. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
Then we go up to 32, where we find Linda and Andrea, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
then up to 38, where we find Charlie and Chris. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Then all the way up to 100, Matt and Wayne. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
So, yes, Wayne, we need some low scores from you. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Or, in fact, just one low score from you. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
That's enough to see you through. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Best of luck with that, we're going to come back down the line, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
can the seconds players please step up to the podium. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
OK, let's put seven more characters on our board of Georges. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
And here they are. We have got... | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
I'll read those all one final time. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
There we are. Seven more famous Georges. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
And, Chris, you're going to try to find the one you think | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
the fewest of our 100 people knew. Chris, welcome back. Welcome back. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
I think Charlie was a bit surprised | 0:12:44 | 0:12:45 | |
by how high George Bernard Shaw scored in that last pass. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
That was quite a high score. Now, Chris, remind us what you do. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
-I'm a retired teacher. -Retired teacher. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
But also you help run the theatre | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
and, in your case, you are the overall boss. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-I'm the chair. -Exactly. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Exactly. And what are your hobbies aside from the theatre? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
Apart from amateur dramatics I do youth work. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
I'm a Girls' Brigade senior leader. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Good stuff. Well, there you are on 38, | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
the high scorers Wayne and Matt on 100, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
which means 61 or less sees you into the second round. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
Which of the Georges are you going to go for? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
The author, I think. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-I think it's George Eliot. -George Eliot, says Chris. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
There's your red line, get below that and you're in Round Two. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Well done, you've done it. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-George Eliot, 28. -APPLAUSE | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
66 your total. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Well played, Chris. Yeah, she lived quite an eventful life. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
She moved in with a married man and then when he died | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
she moved in with a man 20 years younger than her as well. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-Good for her. -Good for her. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Mike. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-Alexander. -Welcome. Welcome to the show. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-First question - how's your dad's paella? -Very nice. -Oh, it's good? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-It is all it's cracked up to be. -I don't know if I'd be saying that if he wasn't standing here though. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
OK, it's not all it's cracked up to be. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
OK. Mike, what do you do? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
I work in a further-education college in the finance department. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
And when you're not doing that, what do you get up to? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Massively into rugby and football as well. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-Big fan of Newcastle United. -Are you? Newcastle, that's your team? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
Mike... Mike would be quite scary, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
running at speed towards you with a ball. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-Mm. Yeah. -Maybe not to you, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
but to me, I would be tempted to run the other way. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
Now then, Mike - Georges. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
I think I know two... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
I'm convinced I know two or three of them, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
but I think I'm going to go for the bottom one, 007, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-and go George Lazenby. -George Lazenby. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
You want to score 89 or less | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
to avoid becoming the new high scorers. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
There's your red line. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Lazenby. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Very well done. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:04 | |
56. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Takes your total to 66, exactly the same total as Chris and Charlie, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
and you are through to the next round. Well done. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Yeah, he was in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
and 007 Magazine voted it the best Bond film of all time. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Really? That's a purist line to take, isn't it? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
What did George Lazenby get up to after that? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-Lazenby? All sorts. -Did he? I mean in a professional capacity? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Oh... I don't know. LAUGHTER | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Now then, Wayne. Wayne, you have a task. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
You have a task here... | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
-I do. -..which is, you have to score hardly anything. -Right, good. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
Wayne, if you had to describe the colour of your top - | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
searching question - what would it be? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
-Well, I would say it's more orange to be honest with you. -More orange? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Do you know, I said it was orange. And our producer said it was peach. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-I thought it was orange. -It was orange when I bought it, it might have faded. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-Yeah, it's been through the wash. -Sorry. -Yeah. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-We'll go with peach. -But it's him, isn't it? It's him. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-It is him. -I knew. I thought it was. Well done, well done. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I thought it was him. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-Wayne, what are you going to go for from the Georges? -Hmm. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
Well, my answer's gone, so I think... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
I think the producer of The Beatles was... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-George Martin. -George Martin, says Wayne. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
No red line for you as you're the highest scorers, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
but let's see how many of our 100 people said George Martin. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
It's right. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:34 | |
-19. -APPLAUSE | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
Wow. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
19 is the second-lowest score of the round so far - | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
for George Martin?! | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
I would have thought in the high 90s. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-For George Martin?! -George Martin! -Not really. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Yes. -A, it's quite a long time ago. B, the name is... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
It's quite a...normal name, isn't it? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
Very easy name to forget, George Martin. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
30 UK number one singles, George Martin. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
That's a very good answer from Wayne, | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
did exactly what you had to do there to keep yourself in the game. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
Now then, Andrea. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Andrea, you've been so patient, you've waited all this time. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
There you are on 32, 119 is the highest score, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
which means 86 or less will see you through. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
But first, Andrea, tell us about yourself. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
I'm a civil servant, | 0:17:22 | 0:17:23 | |
I've worked with Linda for about 12 years now. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
I work for the Department of Health as well. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Exactly the same department as Linda? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
We do slightly different jobs. I work with NHS procurement policy, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
helping trusts to buy better as a National Health Service | 0:17:34 | 0:17:40 | |
and in my spare time I've got two children, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-so I don't have much spare time. -No. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
But I've taken up running. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I say running, I mean jogging. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
What sort of length of jog? Do you do it in distance or in minutes? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
I did the Great North Run twice, but that is not a usual run! | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
-OK. -I would stop after the first time, if I'm honest with you. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
If they did a Great North Jog I would do that, you see, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
but it's the "run" bit that puts me off. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
You can jog it, that's fine. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Anyway, there we are. We need 86 or less from you, Andrea. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
This is all yours, this board is all yours - | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
only three Georges have gone, the rest are all yours. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-Do you fancy talking us through them? -A lot of mine have gone. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
I think...fought Muhammad Ali in the Rumble In The Jungle | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
is George Foreman. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
I don't know the American band leader. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
President of the USA - George W Bush. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
English horse painter - no idea. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
So I think I will go for the top one and George Foreman. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
George Foreman. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
OK, are you sure you don't want to change that to George Formby? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
It is available to you if you'd like to. George Foreman. There is your red line, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
get below that and you're in Round Two. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
George Foreman. Is it right and how many people said it? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
It's right and you're through, very well done, Andrea. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-39. -APPLAUSE | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
71 your total. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
Well played, Andrea. Two-time World Heavyweight Champion. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Let's fill in the rest of this board. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
The President of the USA was George W Bush, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
actually would have seen you through | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
because it would only have scored you 72 points. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
The American band leader of Parliament and Funkadelic, | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
-do you know that? -George Clinton. -It is George Clinton, yep. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
That would've scored you 7 points. And the English horse painter? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-George Stubbs. -George Stubbs is the right answer, | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
and that would've scored you 12. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
So the best answer up there is George Clinton, well done if you said that. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. At the end of our first round, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
the pair heading home with a high score of 119, | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
it's Wayne, in the peach hoody, and Matt. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
but we will see you next time, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
when I hope you'll be with us for much, much longer. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Wayne and Matt, great contestants. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round, | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
we will have to say goodbye to another pair | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
in time for the head-to-head. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Well, it's very, very close. Very, very close. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Andrea and Linda, you were just, by a margin, our highest scorers there. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
But Terence and Mike, Charlie and Chris all on the same score of 66. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
It's fair to say there's barely a paella rice grain between you. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Very best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
Our category for Round Two is... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
..Snooker. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
Can you all decided in your pairs who's going first, who's going second. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
..as they could. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Players who completed in the 2013 World Snooker Championship. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-Richard. -Yep, we're looking for the names of any of the 32 players | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
who reached the televised stages of the 2013 World Snooker Championships | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
at The Crucible, please. Very best of luck. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-Now then, Andrea. Snooker. -Yes. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-It's a dream come true, isn't it? -No. More of a nightmare, really. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
I don't even know if this guy is a snooker player, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
but it sounds plausible. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
I'm going to say Marco Fu. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Marco Fu. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:08 | |
-Yeah. -Marco Fu. Let's see if that's right | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Marco Fu. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
He's right. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
Very well done, Andrea. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Still going down. 3! Very well done indeed. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Now, that's how you play Pointless, very well done. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
That's 3 for Marco Fu. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
That's a terrific answer, Andrea. Yeah, born in 1978 in Hong Kong. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Normally when people say, "I don't know if this person is a snooker player," | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
they just come up with something or other, but that's a very good answer. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Terence. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Are you going to be good at this, Terence? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-Hmm... -I'm going to say yes. -Maybe, maybe. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
I would have known a few maybe 20, 30 years ago, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
but not so many in 2013. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
I'm going to guess. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Mark Allen. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
Mark Allen says Terence. Let's see if that's right, | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
let's see how many of our 100 people said Mark Allen. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
It's right. Well, 3 is our high and low score at this point. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
Mark Allen takes us... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
down to pointless! Look at that, Terence. Very well done indeed. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
That adds £250 to today's jackpot, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
takes the total up to £8,000. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Most importantly, it scores you nothing. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
Very well done indeed, Terence, great answer there. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Well played, Terence. "The Pistol", Mark Allen, and where's he from? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-He's from Antrim in Northern Ireland. -He sure is. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-Yeah. -And I used to be his vicar! | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-No! -Yes. -Did you? -Yes, I did. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-That's quite cool, isn't it? -That is quiet cool. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
That's the first time that someone has given us an answer, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
someone they used to be the vicar of. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Charlie. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Does that expression on your face mean | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
that this is not an ideal round for you? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
I have absolutely no idea of any snooker player from 2013. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
I can only think of people from the past | 0:23:01 | 0:23:02 | |
who are definitely not playing now. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
So we're going to be in the making up a name. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
This is always my favourite phase of the game. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Particularly when it's making up a snooker name. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
I want to know what Charlie's kind of a snooker name... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-Yeah, where do you start? -Yeah. -I'm going to go for Smith. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
And I'm going to go for... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Mike Smith. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
I'm... I'm disappointed. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
-That's all I'm going to say. Mike Smith. Smithy? -The Smithster. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
Smithy, the Smithster. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
Let's see if Mike Smith is a snooker player | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
and, if he is, let's see if he played in the 2013 championship. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Mike Smith - is it right? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
No. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Charlie, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
scores you the maximum of 100 points. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Yeah, sorry, Charlie, famously beaten 10-9 by Mark Allen | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
in the final qualifying round, Mike Smith. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
-LAUGHTER -Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Well, Terence, what can I say? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
That was a splendid answer there, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
Terence and Mike looking pretty strong at this stage. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Then up to 3 - Andrea and Linda, what can I say? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
Andrea and Linda looking pretty strong at this stage of the game. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
Charlie, what can I say? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
Mike Smith. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
Yeah, I'm afraid snooker, you either know it or you don't. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
But there we are. Now, Chris, something could be salvageable here | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
if you know your snooker. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
-Yeah(!) -If you can find a pointless answer, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
and Linda has a nightmare in the next pass, | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
it could happen that you'll make it through to the head-to-head. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
can the second players please step up to the podium. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
Now then, Chris. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:46 | |
We're looking for 2013 World Championship Snooker players. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Oh, yeah, I know loads(!) | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
That's what I'm hoping you'd say. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
I only know one from the past. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
He may still be playing, I don't know. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Steve Hendry. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Steve Hendry. OK, Chris said Steve Hendry. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
There's no red line for you as you are the high scorers, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
but let's see if that's right. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
No. Bad luck, Chris. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
I'm sorry, that's another incorrect answer, | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
scores you the maximum of 100 points, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
takes your total up to an unbeatable 200. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Yeah, he bowed out the previous year, I'm afraid, Stephen Hendry. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
With a 147 as well, at The Crucible. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Mike, good news, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
you are through to the next round. But how well did your dad do? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
-Did pretty well. He did well. -Yeah, that was pretty impressive. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
That was the answer I was going to give, but! | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
There might be another pointless answer in there, Mike. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
You've got to find it. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
I don't think this'll be pointless, | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
but I'm going to go for Neil Robertson. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
Neil Robertson. OK. Let's see if that's right | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
and, if it is, let's see how many people said it. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
No red line for you, cos you're already through. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
That's a nice reason not to have a red line. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
But let's see how many people said Neil Robertson. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
That's a good score, down it goes, look at that. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Very well done indeed. 3. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
Great score, Mike. That takes your total up to 3. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
Well played, Michael. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
Yeah, the 2010 World Champion from Australia. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
Lost in the first round in 2013. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now, Linda, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
-great news, you're through to the head-to-head. -That's good. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Snooker not such a...? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Nightmare. Nightmare. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
There is one name jingling around in my head | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
and I'm going to go for it as we're through anyway. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
-Peter Ebdon. -Peter Ebdon. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
OK, let's see if that's right. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
No red line for you because you're through. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:37 | |
Let's see if anyone said Peter Ebdon. Is it right? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
It's right. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:44 | |
Look at that, 7. Very well done indeed, Linda. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
Great performance, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
really proper Pointless performance there on the first podium. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
10 is your total. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Very well played, another former World Champion from 2002. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
There's plenty of pointless answers and people who know their snooker | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
will definitely have got one of these. Let's take a look. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
You could have had Sam Baird, you could have had Michael White. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
Matt Selt would have been a pointless answer. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Martin Gould was a pointless answer, good snooker player, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
good darts player as well. Used to be a croupier. There's Mark Allen. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Marcus Campbell, the Scot, a pointless answer. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
You could have had Ben Woollaston, you could have had Barry Hawkins, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
who got into the final - | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
he got beaten in the final and he was a pointless answer. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Ricky Walden, who was in the semifinal, was also a pointless answer. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
And another Scot there, Alan McManus was a pointless answer. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
You also could have had Robert Milkins, | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
you could have had Dechawat Poomjaeng, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
he would have been a pointless answer. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Let's take a look at the three biggest scorers, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
the ones that most of our 100 people said. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
8 points for the third biggest scorer, Mark Williams. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
And then two more familiar names, John Higgins with 16, | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
and up the top, Ronnie. I can't believe no-one said him. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
49 points for Ronnie O'Sullivan. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
So, at the end of our second round, | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
I'm afraid it's Chris and Charlie, finally hit the buffers. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
You've gone strong through one and a half Pointless shows. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
Brilliant performance last time | 0:28:04 | 0:28:05 | |
and today I'm afraid it was all going so well | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
until you ran into snooker. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
But there we are. A valiant performance nonetheless | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Thanks so much for playing - Chris and Charlie. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
Congratulations, Mike and Terence, Andrea and Linda, | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
you're now one step closer to the final | 0:28:31 | 0:28:32 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
which currently stands at £8,000. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
CHEERING | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
and, to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
The big difference is obviously you are now allowed to confer | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
and the first pair to win two questions | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
will be playing for that jackpot. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
Well, both of you have done very, very well indeed. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
Mike and Terence, fantastic performance, | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
and a pointless answer there, that really was great play. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
But, Andrea and Linda, | 0:28:59 | 0:29:00 | |
considering snooker wasn't really your strong suit, | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
I think you did phenomenally well in that last round. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
This is going to be a needle head-to-head. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
Best of luck to both pairs, let's play it! | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns... | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
reunions. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
-Reunions. Richard. -We're going to show you five pictures of bands | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
that have reunited since the year 2000. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
Can you name the most obscure of these? | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, let's reveal our five reunions, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
and here they are. We have got... | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
There we are. Five reunions. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Mike and Terence, you've played best throughout the show, | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
so you will go first. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
(A is Take That, B is Stone Roses. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
(C is...Spandau Ballet. D is Steps. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
(E is...Blue.) | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
It's between B and C, then? (Between B and C?) | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
-(Aye. -Which one would you...) | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
(I'll go B.) | 0:30:15 | 0:30:16 | |
I'm going to go for... | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
Sorry, WE'RE going to go for B - The Stone Roses. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
Stone Roses, say Mike and Terence. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
B and The Stone Roses. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
Now then, Andrea and Linda. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
D'you fancy talking us through the rest of the board? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
OK, this is more up our street, to be honest. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
We think A is Take That. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
C is Spandau Ballet. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
D is Steps and E looks like Blue. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
But it's what to go for. Spandau Ballet? | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
-Yeah. -They look quite different. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
Yeah, we'll go for C - Spandau Ballet, please. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
OK, C - Spandau Ballet, say Andrea and Linda. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
So we have The Stone Roses versus Spandau Ballet. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
Mike and Terence said The Stone Roses was B. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that? | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
It's right. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-14. -APPLAUSE | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
Well played, Mike. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:17 | |
That's a good score. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
Now, Andrea and Linda, | 0:31:20 | 0:31:21 | |
you thought this was probably the hardest one to recognise. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
Spandau Ballet, you're saying. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
For C, let's see if that's right, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Spandau Ballet. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
It's right. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
32. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
32, which means, Mike and Terence, after one question you are up 1-0. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:48 | |
Yes, I think both teams knew all of them there | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
and both teams picked the best answer they could do, | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
cos they're the best two answers on the board. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
A is Take That, it's a big scorer though, | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
it would have scored you 80 points. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
D, you're right, is Steps. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Quite a big scorer, actually, for Steps. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
It would have scored you 51. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
And you're right about Blue as well, | 0:32:04 | 0:32:05 | |
and Blue would have scored you 47, another hefty score. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:08 | |
Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now here comes your second question. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
Andrea and Linda, you'll get to answer this one first, | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns... | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
Potato varieties, Richard. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
Does anybody need five minutes to calm down or are you OK? Shall we... | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
We're going to show you five varieties of potatoes, | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
but we've mashed them up, they're all anagrams. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
LAUGHTER Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer, please? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they are. Anagrams of potatoes. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
I'll read those one last time. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:51 | |
And Andrea and Linda, you will go first this time. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
"Dongle" is "golden". | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
An anagram of "downer" - "Golden Wonder". | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
You sure? Is the second one better? | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
-OK, we'll go for the...second one down? -Mm-hm. -..As a Maris Piper. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
Maris Piper, say Andrea and Linda. Maris Piper. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
Now, Mike and Terence, | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
Maris Piper has gone. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
What about those other ones? Do you fancy having a crack at those? | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
How many of them can you fill in, do you think? | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
The bottom one's King Edward. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
Rooster, Estima, Maris Piper... | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
..and...I know the top one. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
I've forgotten it now. But we'll just go Estima. We'll go Estima. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
-Estima? -Yeah. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:49 | |
Estima. So we have Maris Piper and we have Estima. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:53 | |
Andrea and Linda said Maris Piper. Let's see if that's right, | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
It's right. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:01 | |
-59. -APPLAUSE | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
Now, Mike and Terence have said Estima. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that? | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
It's right. Is it going to beat 59? Yes, it is, look at that. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
Down it goes. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
-6. -APPLAUSE | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
Very well done, Terence and Mike, | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
after two questions only you are through to the final 2-0. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
Very well played, gents, yeah, | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
there's only one answer that would have beaten it, it's the top one. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
We've all eaten plenty of them. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
I think, Linda and Andrea, you might know it. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
-Yeah, Golden Wonder. Oh! -It would have scored you 3 points. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
The best answer up there. And we know the bottom two - Rooster is right. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:49 | |
Quite a low scorer though, it would have scored you 15. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
And "New Dark Dig" is King Edward and would have scored 37 points. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:57 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
I'm afraid it's Andrea and Linda, but in a way it's good news, | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
cos it means we get to see you again next time. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
Had you gone to the final that would have been it. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
But as it is you'll be back and we've got a whole new show to enjoy with you, | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
which we'll do very much. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
Thanks so much for playing, Andrea and Linda. Great performance. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
But for Mike and Terence it's time for our Pointless final. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
Congratulations, Mike and Terence. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
You've fought off all the competition | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £8,000. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
There we are. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:44 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Whoo! -APPLAUSE | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
Of course, part of that jackpot is down to you and your pointless answer. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:51 | |
But d'you know what? I think it's fallen pretty well for you | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
because let's just cast our minds back. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
-We had your boss in Round One, George Carey. -Yeah. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
-Then we had a parishioner of yours, Mark Allen. -Yeah. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
-Loosely speaking. -Loosely speaking. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
-Then we had Stone Roses, which was a little bit of Mike's 20s. -Potatoes. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:11 | |
And then we had potatoes. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
-About which you knew everything. -Everything. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
It was like you'd written the book. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
So if we just follow this trajectory, | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
what would you like to see come up in this last round? | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
The disciples? | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
-LAUGHTER -Now, wouldn't that be a thing? | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
Yeah, that would be a thing. "Name the 12 disciples!" | 0:36:30 | 0:36:34 | |
OK. Well, as always, you kick-start this round by choosing the option | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
and you have four of them. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
They are... | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
Roaring Twenties. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
Men's Running Records. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
Goon Films... | 0:36:47 | 0:36:48 | |
The Disciples. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
-LAUGHTER -Male Music Legends. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
-What's it going to be? -Not Roaring Twenties. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
-No. Goon Films? No. -Male Music Legends? | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
-No. So it's between Men's Running Records... -No idea. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
-We're going to go Male Music Legends. -Male Music Legends. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
-OK, Richard. -Good luck. We'll give you three options. Take your answers from any of these. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:12 | |
We're looking for any UK top 40 single | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
by any of the following: | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
All members of the Traveling Wilburys. Any UK top 40 hit by... | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
Very, very best of luck. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
OK, now, as ever, you've got up to one minute | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
to come up with three answers, and to win that jackpot | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
all you need is for just one of those answers to be pointless. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
The answers you provide can come from any of these categories, | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
it's up to you how you spread them across the categories. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
They can all come from the same one or one from each, two from one, one from another, it's up to you. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
-Are you ready? -Yes. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
There they are, your time starts now. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
-Is it only as singles? As single performers? -Top 40 singles. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
-Soloists, yeah. -Yeah, soloists. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
-No idea. -Bob Dylan. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
The Times... The Winds Are A-Blowin'. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
-That's not pointless. -No. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
Roy Orbison. The only one I know's Pretty Woman! | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
-George Harrison - My Sweet Lord. -Cryin'. My Sweet Lord. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:18 | |
-I know... I know... -We'll go Bob Dylan. -We need pointless answers! | 0:38:19 | 0:38:25 | |
Like A Rolling Stone. Knockin' On Heaven's Door. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
Just looking for a punt that's, like, even close. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
We'll just go with the ones we have now. We'll just go with them. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
My Sweet Lord, will that be...? | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-Let's do Tambourine Man. -Yeah. Keep going. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
Ten seconds left. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
Right, Cryin'. Tambourine Man, and... | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
..Knockin' On Heaven's Door? | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
What are you going to go for? | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
-We're going to go Roy Orbison's single, Cryin'. -Cryin'. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
-Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man. -Mr Tambourine Man. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
-And Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door. -Knockin' On Heaven's Door. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:12 | |
Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think? | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
-I think Mr Tambourine Man. -Mr Tambourine we'll put last. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
Mr Tambourine Man. Your least likely? | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
I can't remember what the third one we said was! | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
-You had Cryin', Knockin' On Heaven's Door... -Knockin' On Heaven's Door. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
We'll put that first. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
OK, let's pop your answers up on the board in that order | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
and here they are. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
We've got... | 0:39:33 | 0:39:34 | |
Well, very best of luck. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
Your first answer was Knockin' On Heaven's Door. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
Remember, only one of those answers has to be pointless for you to win | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
that jackpot of £8,000. What would you do if you won that, Mike? | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
First train to King's Cross, go out in London. Spend the whole thing. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
-Really? -I wouldn't see too much of it. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:57 | |
I'd give him the two trophies to hold onto. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
-LAUGHTER -OK, well, best of luck. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Knockin' On Heaven's Door, your first answer. Let's find out. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
Obviously, it has to be correct | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
So, for £8,000, | 0:40:08 | 0:40:09 | |
let's see how many people thought Knockin' On Heaven's Door | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
was a Bob Dylan top 40 single. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
It's right. That's the first thing it had to be. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
Now, down it goes, through the 50s, through the 40s... | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave with £8,000. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
Still going down, still going down... 4! | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
APPLAUSE THEY CHATTER | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
Now, how's about that? 4 for Knockin' On Heaven's Door. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
And you thought that was probably your least likely to be pointless. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:39 | |
So that bodes pretty well for your next two answers. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
But unfortunately, it wasn't pointless. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
Two more shots at today's jackpot. Your second answer was Cryin'. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
Obviously, this has to be correct and it has to be pointless. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
Let's find out. For £8,000, how many of our 100 people said Cryin' | 0:40:50 | 0:40:55 | |
was a Roy Orbison single? | 0:40:55 | 0:40:56 | |
Again, it's right. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
Your first answer, Knockin' On Heaven's Door took us | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
all the way down to 4. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
Cryin' now taking us down through the 20s, | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
through the teens to 16. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:10 | |
APPLAUSE THEY CHATTER | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
OK. Only one answer left, everything is now riding on Mr Tambourine Man. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:20 | |
Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
Let's find out. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:24 | |
How many of our 100 people for £8,000 said Mr Tambourine Man | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
was a Bob Dylan top 40 single? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
Oh, no! | 0:41:32 | 0:41:33 | |
-Oh, bad luck. -APPLAUSE | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
Well...nothing wrong with two of those answers | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
and we'll discover what was wrong with the third in a moment, | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
but unfortunately, you didn't manage to find a pointless answer, | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
which means you don't win today's jackpot of £8,000. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
That will roll over on to the next show, but we've really enjoyed having you on the show. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Thank you for playing and you get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very, very well done. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:00 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
Unlucky, guys. Mr Tambourine Man, of course, written by Bob Dylan, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
but it was a hit for The Byrds in the UK. Number one for The Byrds. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
One of the first records I ever bought: | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
George Harrison - All Those Years Ago. That was a pointless answer. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
Any Road, also a pointless answer. Ding Dong and You. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
Those are the only pointless answers for George Harrison. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
Roy Orbison, you could have had... | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
You could have had Say You're My Girl, Blue Angel, | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart. You could have had Running Scared. All of those were pointless answers. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
And Bob Dylan, some big names here. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
Also could have had Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
You could have had One Of Us Must Know | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
or Rainy Day Women was also a pointless answer for Bob Dylan. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
Very well done if you said that at home. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Mike and Terence, | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
-but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
-Mick and Terence. -Thank you. -APPLAUSE | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
Well, unfortunately, Mike and Terence didn't win our jackpot today, | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
which means it rolls over onto the next show, | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
when we will be playing for £9,000. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Whoo! -APPLAUSE | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win it. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 |
