0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very
0:00:24 > 0:00:28warm welcome to this special academic edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32the show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41And couple number one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Dr John Cooper Clarke, poet.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Suzannah Lipscomb, historian at New College of the Humanities.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Couple number two!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm Mark Horton, I'm an archaeologist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And I'm Alice Roberts, and I'm an anatomist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Couple number three?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05My name is Maggie Aderin-Pocock and
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm a space scientist and a science communicator.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And I'm Jim Al-Khalili, I'm a physicist, author and broadcaster.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And finally, couple number four!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I'm Robin Ince, and I pretend to know about science for the purpose of radio.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And I'm Kate Williams, and I'm a historian and author.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Thank you very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We'll get a chance to chat to each of you throughout the show as it
0:01:34 > 0:01:37goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40He never knew what to become in his life.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Professor Osman, Dr Osman.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44In the end, he just settled for Mister.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Goodness me!- Yeah.- Have you ever felt underqualified before?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56That's unbelievable, isn't it?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- I know.- Might be the cleverest Pointless ever.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And I'm hoping, with all this skill,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm hoping all the questions are of the top 40 singles of Chico.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Or something like that. That would be a long round.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Lovely, yeah, wouldn't it? Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Our contestants here are looking for
0:02:12 > 0:02:14those all-important pointless answers -
0:02:14 > 0:02:16these are the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Find one of those, and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500, there it is!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36APPLAUSE
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Now remember this, if nothing else,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:43 > 0:02:46eliminated. So do everything you can to make sure you do not have the
0:02:46 > 0:02:49highest score. And there is no conferring till we get to the third round.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Our first category this evening...
0:02:54 > 0:02:55..is Band Members.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Band Members.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02who's going to go second.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19People who left bands, Richard?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21On each board, we're going to show you seven clues to people who were
0:03:21 > 0:03:23fired from or who left famous bands,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25we're also going to give you their initials to give you a bit of a
0:03:25 > 0:03:27clue. Just name the most obscure one you can, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Seven on the first board, seven on the second,
0:03:29 > 0:03:3114 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So we are looking for these band leavers,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and here is our first board of seven. And we've got...
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm going to read all of those again, here we go.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Now then... John, welcome back to Pointless.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Great to have you here again. John, you're still gigging, aren't you?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Yes, indeed.- So whereabouts are you gigging?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Do you go around... - I'm going to Portugal.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Off to Portugal? Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02So you do international gigs?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04International concern.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Fantastic.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now then, John, what do you make of our board here?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11OK, I'm going to go for Welsh
0:05:11 > 0:05:13multi-instrumentalist who left
0:05:13 > 0:05:15the Velvet Underground in 1968.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- John Cale.- John Cale, says John,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20let's see how many of our 100 people went for John Cale.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24It's right...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Down to six. What a start to the show! Very well done indeed, John.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36He's doubting if he needs to go on, six for John Cale.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38That's a great start, John, very well played.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah, he was classically trained as a cellist, John Cale.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Yeah?- There you go.- How about that?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46There you go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Alice? Welcome back.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Now you said you were an anatomist?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Yes.- In the introduction there.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53You have other disciplines as well, don't you?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I do. They're all kind of broadly related, though,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so I'm interested in the structure of the human body,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and I'm interested in that in terms of teaching that to surgeons.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06So I look at the structure of the human body, I dissect bodies,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and I teach surgeons about that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11On the other side of that, I'm fascinated by old bones,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14so I end up working with people like Mark on archaeological sites,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and digging up very ancient bones...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You're an osteoarchaeologist?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Yes.- Is that what that is?- Yeah, yes.- Very exciting.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25There we are. Now, Alice, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:06:25 > 0:06:26I think I'm going to go for
0:06:26 > 0:06:29the pioneer of ambient music and influential producer.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And I think that's Brian Eno.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Brian Eno, says Alice.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Brian Eno.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's right, well, six is our only score at this point.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Brian Eno, down to 15.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Not bad at all, Alice! Not bad at all!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Very well played. Brian Eno wrote
0:06:51 > 0:06:54what some people say is the most heard piece of music ever.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Which is the music that comes up when you start Microsoft Windows.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Brian Eno, amongst his many other talents.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Wow.- Exactly.- Wow.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- I know, right?- Thank you.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Now, Maggie, welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08An astronomer, not just an astronomer,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but presenter of The Sky at Night now?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12When did you start doing that?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14About two years ago.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Did you grow up watching Patrick Moore?- Very much so.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20That definitely fuelled my interest in everything that's out there.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22This must be a dream job?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It was, although I think for the first episode,
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I was a bit like a rabbit in the headlights.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- It was like, "Me, Sky at Night? What's going on?!"- Aw!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30But it was, it truly is a dream job.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Very exciting indeed. Now, Maggie, what would you like to go for?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I'm going to go for stayed signed up to Motown in 1975.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And I'm going for Jermaine Jackson.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Jermaine Jackson, says Maggie. Some vigorous nodding from Robin there
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- on podium four.- Bated breath! - Let's see if that is right,
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Jermaine Jackson, how many people said it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55It's right. Well, six is our low score, 15 our high at this point.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh, not bad at all, 29 for Jermaine Jackson.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Not bad at all.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Well played, Maggie, and Professor Ince was quite right, yes sir.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Jermaine Jackson, the thing we always say about Jermaine Jackson is
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- the name of his son.- Jermajesty.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Jermajesty, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- It's a lovely name.- It is.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Yeah.- Very fine name, thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Kate, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Thank you.- Lovely to have you here.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now your book on Josephine, I'm going to call her Josephine Bonaparte,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25but that's probably not... What should we call her, Josephine?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27We can call her Josephine Bonaparte,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31She went through various surnames and a couple of husbands, so...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I mean, Napoleon was the last one.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But your book on her is being used as sort of a source material,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- but only half is being spliced together with Andrew Roberts' book on Napoleon?- Yes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42To make a programme on the pair of them?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44To make a series of the pair of them.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48So my vision, of course, is that we can all have a role in the show as
0:08:48 > 0:08:52maybe revolutionaries or that sort of thing, or perhaps people at court...
0:08:52 > 0:08:53So this is a drama, it's being done as a drama?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Yes, a drama.- I think I would like to play Napoleon, please.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59You'd like to play Napoleon?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- Don't you think?- Yeah, you're the right build, aren't you?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Well, I think I am.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06If I just work on the accent, I think I'm in.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08What do you mean? Your accent's perfect.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- COMEDY FRENCH ACCENT:- Thank you, that's very kind.- You see?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Now, Kate, this board is all yours.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16If I didn't know who Ginger Spice was, I'd be a traitor to my hair,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so that of course is Geri Halliwell.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Announced his departure from the boy band, Zayn Malik.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I think I'm going to go for Dave Lee Roth at the bottom.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26OK, Dave Lee Roth, says Kate.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Dave Lee Roth.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32It's absolutely right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, six is our low score, 29 our high.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Oh, you passed 29... 14,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39there you are, second lowest score in the round!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Very well done indeed, Kate.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Very nice.- Great answer, Kate,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45and you chose the best one of
0:09:45 > 0:09:48the ones that you knew as well, so well chosen.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Now, who left the Yardbirds?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Eric Clapton.- Eric Clapton.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54That would have scored you 43.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You were quite right about Geri Halliwell, Ginger Spice.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Would have scored 75, and of course...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Zayn Malik, big scorer, though, would have scored you 50.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So the best answer on the board, John, John Cale.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Well played.- Very good indeed, thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14John, as Richard says, the best score of the pass with six there.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Then we travel up to 14, Kate and Robin, there they are.
0:10:17 > 0:10:2015 for Alice and Mark, and then 29, Maggie and Jim.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23You're not way out ahead, but Jim, you know what we need from you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And we're coming back down the line now.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, we're going to put seven more clues up on the board.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And remember, we're looking for these band leavers.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And here they are. We've got...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Robin, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- Hello.- Great to have you here.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Now, Robin, growing up in the '80s like I did, in my teens in the '80s,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51we were spoiled rotten with science programmes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I suppose we had things like Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56which I suppose was comedy, but it had a big science influence on our
0:11:56 > 0:11:59generation. Tomorrow's World, all those sorts of things.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Then there was a complete dearth of science programming.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04And then you have come back,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07you're at the forefront of the second wave of science programming.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10For children and... You know what, actually people of all ages.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It is for all ages. I mean, that's the beautiful thing,
0:12:12 > 0:12:13which I think now as you get...
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The show that I do on radio with Brian Cox, which I... Predominantly
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'm on there to interrupt him every time I know the rest of the audience
0:12:20 > 0:12:22are confused. There's a certain point he goes,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24"..and at this point in quantum electrodynamics," and I go,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27"I'd better interrupt - we're all lost."
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So it's really exciting, we have eight-year-olds writing to us,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and we have 90-year-olds writing to us, and they all have brilliant,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35exciting questions!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Fantastic. There we are, you've got a brand-new board.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You're on 14 - your target, to avoid
0:12:40 > 0:12:42becoming high scores, is also 14.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I'm going to go with founding member of Pink Floyd who left in 1968,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Syd Barrett.- Syd Barrett, says Robin.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Here's your red line. If you can get below this red line with Syd Barrett,
0:12:50 > 0:12:51you're through to the next round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Very well done indeed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Yup!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oh, look at that! You needed 14, you got 14!
0:13:04 > 0:13:0828 is your total. You are into round two.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Well played, Robin, terrific answer.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13See, that's the interesting thing when you get people who are
0:13:13 > 0:13:15scientists and professors, and they say they know nothing about the real world.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And you give them music, and suddenly,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18it's all the low answers again.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21If you're interested in things, you're interested in things.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- There you are.- That's the truth, you tend to be interested in everything.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26There we are, now, Jim... Welcome to Pointless.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Now in the world of physics, a great deal of what you deal in is theory.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I mean, people propound theories that sometimes don't get proven or
0:13:36 > 0:13:37disproven until centuries later.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40How does that go down, do you find that there's great rivalry within
0:13:40 > 0:13:43physics? And if you put a theory out there, do people get very heated,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45or are people very generally quite gentlemanly about this?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I guess it depends what area of physics.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51There are certain fashionable areas where there is a lot of competition.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54People come out with new ideas about what happened before the Big Bang,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56for example, or...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- Before the Big Bang?- Before that,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59there are theories now dealing with that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03But there are other areas where we all get on absolutely wonderfully,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06and we all help each other out and give each other ideas.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Good stuff. Now, 29 is your score.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12A nice low score from you, Jim, at this point, should keep you in.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm going to go for left Genesis in 1975,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18later being replaced by frontman Phil Collins. That's Peter Gabriel.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Peter Gabriel, says Jim. Let's see if you've chosen well.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23No red line for you, because you're still the high scorers.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26But let's see how many of our 100 people said Peter Gabriel.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31He's right.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Ooh, it's not bad, 21. 21, taking
0:14:37 > 0:14:40your total up to a nice neat 50.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Well played, Jim. The low scoring continues. Formed at Charterhouse,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Genesis. They all went on to be very successful individually.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Yeah, didn't they?- As well as a band.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Mark, welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Great to be here.- Now, Mark, you're a professor at Bristol,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00but also a TV personality.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03How does that go down with your fellow academics?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Well, I'm not sure,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08really because they wonder why I'm not doing undergraduate tutorials
0:15:08 > 0:15:11at nine o'clock in the morning sometimes.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Have you seen Mark's hands? I just had to draw attention to Mark's hands.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15- Well, yes, I'm afraid.- They are...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17They are an archaeologist's hands.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Are they? What, he found them?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Exactly right.- I've just come back from the trenches.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That's extraordinary. Which trenches, where?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Well, we've been hunting for some dead winter Vikings, which,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33as it's a family show, I won't go into details.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Now then, Mark. You are on 15,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37the high scorers at the moment are Jim and Maggie on 50.
0:15:37 > 0:15:4134 or less keeps you well and truly in the game.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45My knowledge of music kind of ends in the 18th century.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48This one in Las Vegas vaguely is familiar.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Is there somebody called Diana Ross?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52LAUGHTER
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Yes, there might be.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Let's find out. Keep the jeopardy.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58There's your red line. If you can get below that, Mark,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00with Diana Ross, you are through to the next round.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02How many of our 100 people said Diana Ross?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06It's right.
0:16:09 > 0:16:1159, for Diana Ross.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Good news for Jim and Maggie, back in the game.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Welcome.- Yeah, Diana Ross, apart from her musical career,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19also took the most famous penalty in
0:16:19 > 0:16:21football history at the opening of
0:16:21 > 0:16:23the US World Cup.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26She had to kick a ball into a goal, which then would fall apart,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27from two feet. She managed to miss.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Aw!- She was very much the Emile Heskey of the Supremes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Thanks very much, Richard.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Now, Suzannah. Welcome to Pointless.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Great to have you here. Now the Tudors is your period.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Yes, yes.- Why in particular the Tudors?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45What got you into them?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's much more comforting than talking about music.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Because it's a fascinating period of change and so much happens that's so
0:16:53 > 0:16:57important to the history of our country and Europe and the world in
0:16:57 > 0:17:00general. The Reformation, the Renaissance in northern Europe,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02we've got these incredible characters, you know,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09it's the beginning of so much that we consider to be our modern world.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Very good indeed.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14You've been very well set up by John. Six is your score.
0:17:14 > 0:17:1667 or less gets you through.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I'm going to go with Duran Duran guitarist who left the band twice,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Andy Taylor.- Andy Taylor, says Suzannah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Here is your red line. If you get
0:17:25 > 0:17:27below this red line, nice and high,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30you should be through comfortably to the next round.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Andy Taylor.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36It's right.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Very well done, you've done it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Oh, look at that, down it goes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Great answer. Brilliant,
0:17:42 > 0:17:4616. 22 is your total.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Great work, Suzannah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Very well played. At one point there were three Taylors in Duran Duran.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Yeah.- Roger, Andy and John.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And John. Yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Let's fill in these, shall we? If you said Noel Gallagher,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58it would have been very exciting because it would have scored you 67
0:17:58 > 0:18:00points, you would be through by one point.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Noel Gallagher there. The next one, quit the boy band Busted.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Charlie Simpson.- Ah, Charlie Simpson.
0:18:06 > 0:18:0912 points for Charlie Simpson.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10And the Beatles drummer?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Pete Best.- It was Pete Best.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Yeah. 41 points for that,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15so Charlie Simpson the best answer on that board.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20so at the end of our first round the pair we are sending home with their
0:18:20 > 0:18:22high score of 74, Mark and Alice.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- I'm sorry.- Oh, boohoo!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Back to the trench.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I'm so sorry, but we have to send you back far too soon in my opinion.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Please come and play again.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Thank you so much, Mark and Alice.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Wonderful.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Wow. Three pairs remain.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another of those
0:18:49 > 0:18:52pairs. But very well done, everyone.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Best of luck for our next round. The category for it is...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's a words round. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:19:02 > 0:19:03who is going to go second.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Words ending UDE.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Richard.- Yeah, we are looking for any word which has its own entry in
0:19:29 > 0:19:33the British And World English section of OxfordDictionaries.com,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36please, that ends UDE. As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40anything like that. So any word that ends UDE.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44There we go. John, always tough going first.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Pulchritude.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Pulchritude, says John.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Let's see how many... That's good, isn't it?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Let's see how many of our 100 people went for pulchritude.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- It's a lovely answer. Scores you one.- Who's the one?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09One for pulchritude.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Yes, one of those words that sounds awful and means something lovely.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I know, it does.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- It means beauty.- Beauty. Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Lovely. Now, Jim.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23What would you like to go for?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Oh, erm...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Latitude.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Latitude says Jim.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Let's see how many of our 100 people went for latitude.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4216 for latitude.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Not bad.- Yeah, latitude,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49that's one of those words I never really understand what it means.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I kind of do. But if you ask me to define it, say,
0:20:53 > 0:20:54on a television programme,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- I would struggle.- There you are.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Now, Kate.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Occlude.- Occlude.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Occlude, let's see how many of 100 people said occlude.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- It's right.- Oh!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19It's a pointless answer!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Very well done indeed, Kate.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24That adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to £2,750.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27CHEERING
0:21:27 > 0:21:31It scores you nothing and earns you our deep, deep respect.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Very well played, Kate. Terrific work.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It means to block or stop up something.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38At home we play Occluedo, but we can't get the dice out of the...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40That's an "occlude" joke for you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Thank you very much.- My pleasure.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores!
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Nothing was the best score of that pass.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Very well done indeed. Kate and Robin,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49very much top of the class at this point.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Very close behind them are
0:21:51 > 0:21:53John and Suzannah on one.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54And then Jim and Maggie,
0:21:54 > 0:21:55they are on 16.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So, Maggie, we need a low score from you in the next pass.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07OK, now, Robin, remember.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's any word that ends with the letters UDE.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I think denude.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Denude? OK.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Here is your red line. If you can get below this red line,
0:22:17 > 0:22:18you are through to the next round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20How many of our 100 people said denude?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29You're through! Four!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Four for denude.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Four is your total.- Well played Robin, you had denude.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's what they have on page three of Der Spiegel.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Maggie.- I'm going to go for platitude.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Platitude, says Maggie.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51No red line for you - you're the high scorers.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But let's see how many of our 100 people said platitude.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Look at that, six for platitude!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Takes you all up to 22.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Yes, a remark or statement that has sort of lost all its meaning over time.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13It's been too often repeated.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15There we are, now, Suzannah.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Verisimilitude.- Verisimilitude.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23OK. That was one of mine.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- No longer.- Was it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29There is your red line.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31If you can get below that with verisimilitude,
0:23:31 > 0:23:32you are through to the next round.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43You're through!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And it's pointless!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Oh! Very, very well done indeed! That adds another
0:23:48 > 0:23:50£250 to our jackpot!
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It takes our total up to £3,000!
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Scores you nothing, leaves your total at one.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Very well done.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Great play. And it's a lovely word as well, verisimilitude.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It means to give the appearance of being real.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05There's loads of pointless answers. We'll take a look at a few more of them.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Certitude, a pointless answer.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11There's etude. Ineptitude is a pointless answer, ironically.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Schadenfreude. That's a good one, isn't it?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Turpitude, which you use on garden fence, just...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18LAUGHTER
0:24:18 > 0:24:19And verisimilitude.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21The one which we just heard as well.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Thank you very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26the pair who are heading home with their high score of 22,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm afraid Maggie and Jim, it is you!
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Thank you so much for coming to play.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Please come and play again, Maggie and Jim. Thanks so much!
0:24:32 > 0:24:36APPLAUSE
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Right! For Robin and Kate and John and Suzannah,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Congratulations, John and Suzannah, Robin and Kate.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51You are now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for that jackpot for your charities.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Our jackpot currently standing at £3,000.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56There it is.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01So this is the bit where we decide who goes through to that round to
0:25:01 > 0:25:04play for the jackpot, and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06But the big difference is, you're now allowed to play as team.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09So you can confer before you give your answers.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Here's your first question.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22And it concerns...
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Richard?- I'm going to show you five pictures now of historical artefacts
0:25:32 > 0:25:34or structures that are over a thousand years old.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We're going to give you some of the letters as well.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42OK, let's reveal our five things that are over a thousand years old.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44And here they come. We have got...
0:26:00 > 0:26:05John and Suzannah, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Feel free to confer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11OK, we're going to go with D.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Parthenon.- Parthenon.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Now then, Robin and Kate, that board is all yours.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21A is Terracotta Army.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23B is Stonehenge.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25E is Colosseum.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I don't think we're going to score less than them,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31if we choose Terracotta Army.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK, so should we risk C?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Should we do it?- Yeah. So we're
0:26:35 > 0:26:39going to risk C, which we think is
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Karnak.- Karnak.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45OK, so we have Parthenon and Karnak.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48John and Suzannah said Parthenon. Let's see if that is right for D.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54It is right.
0:26:57 > 0:26:5954.
0:26:59 > 0:27:0154 for the Parthenon.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Now, Robin and Kate have gone for Karnak.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06For C. Is it right?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09It deserves to be, let's see how many people said Karnak.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Oh!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Sorry!- No.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's not Karnak, but very well done, John and Suzannah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21That means after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah, very well played. And it was the right tactic.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26None of the other answers would have won you the point. So you had to go for that one, really.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Terracotta Army is only just above 54.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It would have scored 56 points, Terracotta army.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36What do you think Stonehenge scored?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38You'd like to think it would be ninety...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- 95.- ..eight or more...
0:27:43 > 0:27:4488.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46LAUGHTER
0:27:46 > 0:27:50The last one, of course, is the Colosseum.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52That would have scored you 70.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56And so the best answer on the board is, of course, C.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Begins with K.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Is there a thing called the Knoss or Knossa?
0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Oh, no!- There is indeed. On the island of Crete and it's Knossos.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Oh, that's a minotaur!- Knossos.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Oh, no!- It would have scored ten points.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Yes, a Minoan palace in Knossos.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Oh, no.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Here comes your second question. Robin and Kate, you get to answer it first.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17But you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18- So very, very best of luck.- OK.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Our second question this evening is all about...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Going to play you five clips now from songs which,
0:28:26 > 0:28:31at some point in them, spell out words.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34We just need you to tell us the artist who is singing any of these songs,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- please.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37So let's listen to our five songs.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And here we have... A...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42# She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
0:28:42 > 0:28:48# I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
0:28:48 > 0:28:51# L-o-l-a Lola
0:28:51 > 0:28:55# Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
0:28:58 > 0:29:00B...
0:29:00 > 0:29:03# She said L-I-F-E-G-O-E-S-O-N
0:29:03 > 0:29:07# You've got more than money and sense, my friend
0:29:07 > 0:29:10# You've got heart and you're going your own way
0:29:13 > 0:29:15# L-I-F-E-G-O-E-S-O-N
0:29:15 > 0:29:19# What you don't have now will come back again
0:29:19 > 0:29:23# You've got heart and you're going your own way...
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Here's C...
0:29:25 > 0:29:30# Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E
0:29:30 > 0:29:35# Becomes final today
0:29:35 > 0:29:41# Me and little J-O-E
0:29:41 > 0:29:43# Will be going away... #
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Here's D...
0:29:48 > 0:29:52# R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me
0:29:52 > 0:29:55# R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care, TCB
0:29:55 > 0:29:58# Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03And here's E...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06# D-I-S-C-O
0:30:06 > 0:30:09# D-I-S-C-O
0:30:09 > 0:30:13# D-I-S-C-O
0:30:13 > 0:30:17# D-I-S-C-O... #
0:30:17 > 0:30:19OK, there are our five songs.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Robin and Kate, you will go first.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23We're looking for the artist who sang those songs.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- We think that more people will have gone...- I think you're right.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- ..or fewer people, that's the rules, isn't it?- Yes.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Fewer people will have gone with C,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Tammy Wynette with D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Tammy Wynette for C.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Now, then, John and Suzannah, talk us through the others.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Well, there's one that's a surefire and there's one that's a bit of a
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- stretch.- So let's go with...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- A?- Yeah.- I'm going to go with A.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Raymond Douglas Davies of The Kinks.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59The Kinks. So we have Tammy Wynette and we have The Kinks.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Robin and Kate, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- I know, yes.- You went for Tammy Wynette for C.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tammy Wynette.
0:31:19 > 0:31:2014.
0:31:23 > 0:31:2514.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Meanwhile, John and Suzannah have gone for A, The Kinks.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Kinks.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Which was the right one to go for?
0:31:43 > 0:31:4519, very well done indeed.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Robin and Kate, back in the game.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I knew this was going to be close.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Very well done. Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56There are a couple of obscurer ones.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58B, this is a lovely song.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01# L-I-F-E-G-O-E-S-O-N... #
0:32:01 > 0:32:05L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N by Noah And The Whale would have scored you one
0:32:05 > 0:32:07point. Well done if you said that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12D, you were all right to avoid it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15R-E-S-P-E-C-T by Aretha Franklin.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18That would have scored 27.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Now, this last one, Robin, you were going to go for a risky answer.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I can't remember if the band was The Trammps or Trammps with D-I-S-C-O.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- Yeah, that's it.- OK, it was Ottawan.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28LAUGHTER
0:32:28 > 0:32:31With D.I.S.C.O.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Three points if you said that.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38OK, it all comes down to the decider, the third question.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Whoever wins the third question goes through to the final,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43so very best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Our third question this evening is all about...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Richard.- I'm just going to show you the initials now of five Bond film
0:32:53 > 0:32:57titles. We need you to name the most obscure of these films, please.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Very best of luck. Whichever team gives us the lowest answer will go
0:32:59 > 0:33:01through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Thank you very much. Let's review our five clues, and here they come.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19There we are. John and Suzannah, you will go first.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23We have an answer, and John is going to deliver it.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25A View To A Kill.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27A View To A Kill, say John and Suzannah.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29A View To A Kill.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31So, then, Robin and Kate, we come to you.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33We've got You Only Live Twice,
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Quantum Of Solace,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37The Living Daylights and...
0:33:37 > 0:33:39The Living Daylights, we'll go with that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40The Living Daylights.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42So we have A View To A Kill and The Living Daylights.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45John and Suzannah said A View To A Kill. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50It's right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:5725. APPLAUSE
0:33:57 > 0:33:5925 for A View To A Kill.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Meanwhile, Robin and Kate have gone for The Living Daylights.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Let's see if that's right.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.- Oh, gosh.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's right.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Ooh, 23! GASPS AND APPLAUSE
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Another needle match there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25And Robin and Kate, very well done, indeed.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27After three questions, Robin and Kate,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- you are through to the final 2-1. - Oh, no.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32What a head-to-head. Very well played, everybody.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The top answer, You Only Live Twice, would have scored 77.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Quantum Of Solace would have scored you 49.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42And the best answer on the board, 11 points...
0:34:42 > 0:34:44The World Is Not Enough.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- It took so long to get.- Oh, no!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50There we go, thank you very much.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55John, I'm afraid this is not the time you win the jackpot
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- for the second time. - I'm sorry, John. I let him down.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59You will have to come back and do it again,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01but you played so well, both of you, throughout.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03It's been such a pleasure having you on the show.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Thank you so much. John and Suzannah. Superb.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE
0:35:08 > 0:35:11But for Robin and Kate, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Congratulations, Robin and Kate.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19You have fought off all the competition
0:35:19 > 0:35:22and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36APPLAUSE There it is.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44I have to say, you have fought so hard to make it to this point.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Four things will appear on the board behind me.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Today's choices look like this. We have got:
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Irish Pop, probably not.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02What's wrong with Chocolate?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- If you want to go with Chocolate... - Let's do it.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06All right, let's get on with it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- OK, what are we going to go for? - Chocolate, yes.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It's going to be Chocolate. It's going to be Chocolate.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12OK, very best of luck. Three very different questions here.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Three very different areas as well.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17The first one is we're looking for any cast member
0:36:17 > 0:36:20according to IMDB in the 2000 film of Chocolat.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23We are looking for any UK top 40 single by Hot Chocolate.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Or we are looking for
0:36:25 > 0:36:29any of the 50 top cocoa-producing countries, please.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32The last time those statistics were updated was 2013.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34So any of the 50 countries that produce the most cocoa.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Very best of luck.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Thank you very much, indeed.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:39 > 0:36:40to come up with three answers.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42All you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:36:42 > 0:36:44is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- OK.- Are you ready?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Are we ready?- Uh, yes.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52There they are.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Your time starts now.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Right, I would have thought
0:36:54 > 0:36:55that somewhere like Ghana
0:36:55 > 0:36:57was a top cocoa-producing country,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59but people may not choose Ghana.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01What about Equatorial Guinea?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Do you think that's obscure?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Shall we just go with just top cocoa-producing countries?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Why not? I only know You Sexy Thing and surely everyone knows that.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Yeah, You Sexy Thing, definitely,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13and Johnny Depp are not going to be pointless answers.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- KATE LAUGHS - No.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17So, shall we go with Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, did you say?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Do you think Equatorial Guinea or Guinea-Bissau?- Oh...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Ah, Guinea-Bissau, would that be in the top 50?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Uh...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Let's go with Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau and Ghana.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Then we have a lovely G set.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Should we try and trick them with a South American one?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do a trick as well.- Like Bolivia?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Do they make chocolate?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Bolivian chocolate, definitely.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38- I would say yeah.- OK.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39So do you want to go with Bolivia,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Equatorial Guinea and Ghana?
0:37:42 > 0:37:43- Yeah.- 10 seconds.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Why not?- We'd like to make it clear that if we lose on this,
0:37:46 > 0:37:47it's an altruistic act
0:37:47 > 0:37:49so we can share the charity money amongst all of us.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Yes.- I hope that makes it clear. - That's nice. Very good.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54OK, Well, your minute is now up,
0:37:54 > 0:37:56so let's have those answers officially.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58So, Top Cocoa Producing Countries,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- we believe that we're going to go with Ghana.- Ghana.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02We're going with...
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Was it Equatorial Guinea we chose?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Yeah, Equatorial Guinea. - Equatorial Guinea.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- And do you want to go with Bolivia? Guinea-Bissau?- I need an answer.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- I need an answer.- Bolivia!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Bolivia, OK, there we are. Three answers, good.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Equatorial Guinea. - Equatorial Guinea we'll put last.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19OK, least likely to be Pointless?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Ghana.- Ghana, and Bolivia goes in the middle.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Yeah.- Marvellous. - Bolivia in the middle.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:26 > 0:38:28and here they are. We have got...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Well, very, very, very best of luck.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36If you were to win,
0:38:36 > 0:38:39let's say one of these answers were to turn out to be pointless,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41which charities are you playing for?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Robin.- I'm playing for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49If people would like to know more about the life of Sophie Lancaster,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52they could see Black Roses by Simon Armitage and Sylvia Lancaster,
0:38:52 > 0:38:53who is Sophie's mum.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56She works very hard with her friends
0:38:56 > 0:38:59to promote anti-bullying across the country.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Very good indeed. Kate, how about you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03My charity is the PCRF,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07that sends medical teams to children across the Middle East
0:39:07 > 0:39:09who need life-saving operations.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Very good indeed. APPLAUSE
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Two fantastic charities there.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Let's hope one of these answers, at least, will turn out to be pointless
0:39:17 > 0:39:20so you can split that prize money between those charities.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, your first answer is Ghana.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Now, in all three cases here,
0:39:24 > 0:39:26you've given answers in the category of
0:39:26 > 0:39:29our top 50 cocoa-producing countries.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Your first answer, I say, was Ghana.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Let's see if it's right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34If it is right, let's see how many of the 100 people said it.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36This is for £3,000.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Well, it's right. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Ghana takes us down through the 30s into the 20s.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50If it goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £3,000... 10.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52We stop at 10 with Ghana.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53APPLAUSE
0:39:53 > 0:39:5610 people got Ghana.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Ooh, it's exciting. That was right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Your next answer was Bolivia.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Bolivia. You quibbled a bit over whether to include Bolivia
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- in your final three. - Just a little bit.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09But there it is, nonetheless. Let's find out.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Again, we're looking for the world's 50 top cocoa-producing countries.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14If this is right and if it is pointless,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16it will win you £3,000 for your chosen charities.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18How many people said Bolivia?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22It's right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Well, your first answer was Ghana
0:40:24 > 0:40:26and that took us all the way down to 10.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Bolivia takes us down through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Down it goes. It passes 10.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Still going down. Still going down!
0:40:32 > 0:40:343! 3 for Bolivia.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37APPLAUSE
0:40:39 > 0:40:42We're moving in the right direction. Two correct answers so far.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Your third and final answer is Equatorial Guinea.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52It's a wonderful answer, so often a pointless answer on this show.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53THEY LAUGH
0:40:53 > 0:40:55In this category, though,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57the world's top 50 cocoa-producing countries,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00is Equatorial Guinea going to be correct and is it pointless?
0:41:00 > 0:41:01If it's both of those things,
