0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hey, that's a good promo. I'm Paul Rankin.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'd like to be known as "Chef Legend", but actually people say,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55"Oh, you're that chef fellow that makes the Irish soda bread."
0:00:55 > 0:00:57LAUGHTER Good enough!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Richard Burr. I'm a builder.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49and I've just brought out my sixth cookbook.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51APPLAUSE
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Mixing business with pleasure,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01like drinking coffee through a curly straw,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Hiya. Evening, everybody. Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Good evening to you.- Good evening. - This will be a fun one, won't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13There's a little subplot on today's show
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- because Paul and Jean-Christophe have been on before.- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But the last time they came on, they came on with each other.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20And I don't know what's happened,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24but something has clearly happened and they've split up.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So it's going to be interesting to see who's made the right decision.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29But on the other two podiums,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31representatives of two of my favourite shows.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I love the Spice Men here. The Spice Boys, really, aren't they?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And Bake Off on podium two as well.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Almost impossible to beat Bake Off, surely.- Surely.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Surely they're the favourites.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Thank you very much.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44As always, all of today's questions have been put
0:02:44 > 0:02:46to 100 people before the show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Our contestants are looking for those pointless answers.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51These are answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59each of our celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03We start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There it is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:06 > 0:03:09If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11APPLAUSE
0:03:13 > 0:03:16All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:03:16 > 0:03:19at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22so do what you can to make sure you don't have the highest score.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Our first category for Round One this evening is...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Oh!- It's a Words round. Bad luck, podium one.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Words ending -PLE. Richard.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yes, any word in the English language that ends -PLE.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59That's any word that has its own entry
0:03:59 > 0:04:02in the oxforddictionaries.com website
0:04:02 > 0:04:05under English that ends -PLE. As always, no proper nouns,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09no hyphenated words or anything like that. Very best of luck.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- Thank you very much, Richard. Paul, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Paul, you were the first chef in Ireland to get a Michelin star.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21In Northern Ireland. First ever Michelin star for Northern Ireland.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22That's exciting.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26When that happened, how long was it before the phone started ringing?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Was it almost immediate? - It was pretty much immediate.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32It was quite a shock because we thought we were doing a brasserie...
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Yeah.- Um... - And they wanted a trattoria.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Not so much that, it's just... I was trained with the Roux brothers.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Gavroche, Albert Roux's restaurant, was the first restaurant
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I ever worked in, so I didn't really know how to do ordinary food.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I just always cooked great food, inspired by the Roux brothers,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53so I owe a lot to those guys.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58They really have done so much for the British culinary scene.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Beautifully put, Paul. Now, words ending -PLE.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I don't want to go too safe, so I'm going to go with "dapple".
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Oh, I like that very much. "Dapple", says Paul. It's good, isn't it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Let's see how many of our 100 people thought so.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Look at that.- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Great start on that first podium. Well played.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31"Dapple" is one of those menu words, isn't it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Like a dappled strawberry, or something.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I think I might have the dappled strawberries.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I don't know what sort of restaurants you go to.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- You'd have that, wouldn't you? - Absolutely.- A dappled pomegranate.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- It's always good to get ideas. - I tell you what,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51dappled strawberries is the way to go, I promise you.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Very nice indeed.- You boys are geniuses.- Frances, welcome.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Thank you. - Lovely to have you on Pointless.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59When you win Bake Off...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Cos it's not like you work for Sir Alan for a year.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04You don't win a contract or anything,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- you just get the most almighty pat on the back.- That's right. A cake stand.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You get a cake stand, literally a cake stand.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- And you have to keep a secret for four months.- How do you do that?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I know. I always said if all the baking fails,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- MI5 beckons cos it shows I can keep a secret. Poker face.- Absolutely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, it's brilliant to have you here, Frances.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I'm sorry that we're throwing you a words round first off,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- unless you love words rounds. - I do love words.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32I love playing with words.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- I'm going to say, "dimple". - "Dimple", says Frances.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said "dimple".
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- 28.- Nice one.- Good grouping. APPLAUSE
0:06:51 > 0:06:5226 and 28 our only scores so far.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Another good answer, Frances, well done. Another good menu word.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Maybe assorted caramel parfaits with dimpled shortbread.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Like it!- Mmm.- Mmm.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Cyrus, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Among the many things I was reading about you, one thing I discovered
0:07:07 > 0:07:10is you're a Deputy Lieutenant of the City of London.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Yes, I am.- What does that mean?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, the Deputy Lieutenant's responsibilities are,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18when there is a royal presence,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21to be around to welcome the royal person, whoever that is,
0:07:21 > 0:07:26to introduce them to...whoever the event is in aid of
0:07:26 > 0:07:29or to host events or to handle the security, look after...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I see, I see. Now, Cyrus.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Yes.- Words ending -PLE.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40I think I'll go for one that every teenager hates. A "pimple".
0:07:40 > 0:07:41A "pimple".
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said "pimple".
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Don't say it's 100! - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's not. 28's our high score. 26 our low.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54You passed both of them. 25, look at that! Very well done!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Best score so far, Cyrus.- Not bad.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Some good scoring. Very, very close between everybody there.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Also, the best thing to get rid of pimples,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05if teenagers are watching, is a lovely pomegranate exfoliant.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- It clears it up.- Turmeric powder. - And t...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Really? Blimey!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- You get yellow skin after that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Now, Jean-Christophe. - Alexander, how are you?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Welcome.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Now, Jean-Christophe, you have your Academy, don't you,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26where you train young apprentice Novellis?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28No, it's not just apprentices.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31What we have is a cookery school open to anybody.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I suppose some people just do it for fun,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37but some people then go on, take it into the professional sphere?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I think it should be for fun.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But we do it in such a way...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I've got a very good team of people working with us and it's just fun.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48It's brilliant, lots of tips and eating healthy. Very important.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Very good indeed.- Pomegranate...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- LAUGHTER - ..on the menu.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Jean-Christophe, what are you going to go for?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58First, I would like to say... I don't want to give you some credit,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02but you did very well so far and that annoyed me very much.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03LAUGHTER
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Because myself, as a very simple Frenchman,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I'm about to give you "simple" in French. "Simple".
0:09:10 > 0:09:14"Simple". Let's see how many of our 100 people said that?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Ooh.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's not bad. Look at that! APPLAUSE
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- 39.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29"Simple". You don't need me to explain what "simple" means, do you?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Do you know, I do. LAUGHTER
0:09:31 > 0:09:33No, no, I'm fine. Thank you, Richard.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38The best score of the pass
0:09:38 > 0:09:40was yours, Cyrus. Well done. 25.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Then up to 26, Paul and Ed. Up to 28, Frances and Richard,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46then 39 for Jean-Christophe and Jo. Jo, we need a low score,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48it's as simple as that.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Best of luck.- Thank you.- We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Jo, welcome.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Tell me about your new thing at Terminal 2.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You've got this new enterprise.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yeah, it's called The Gorgeous Kitchen
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and there's four of us, four female chefs,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13so instead of the Two Spice Boys, as we've been calling you tonight,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15it would be the Spice Girls in the restaurant world.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Four women and it's in the Queen's Terminal.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's got beautiful views and it's fine-dining
0:10:19 > 0:10:22as you're about to go onto a beautiful flight
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- on your way wherever around the world.- Beautiful.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now, you're on 39. As I mentioned before,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30you are the high-scorers. We need a low score, Jo.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I'm thinking of a word... There are plenty of foodie ones
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- but this one's not foodie. I'm thinking "cripple".- "Cripple".- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39OK, "cripple" says Jo. No red line for you,
0:10:39 > 0:10:43as you're the high-scorers. Let's see how many people said "cripple".
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well done to you. Well done to you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- 7!- Well done to you!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well done, Jo. APPLAUSE
0:10:54 > 0:10:58That kind of scoring might well keep you in the game. 46 is your total.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Very good answer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03To cause someone to be unable to walk - to cripple somebody.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- A strong answer. Best answer so far. - Best so far, indeed. Now, Tony.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10A very warm welcome to Pointless to you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- You cook many different styles of food.- Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What's your favourite style to cook?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Anything that's really tasty, I like.- Good answer.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I like stealing ideas and techniques from all over.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24But you do European cooking
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- and Asian-style cooking. - I was trained as a French chef,
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Then background is Sikh, mum's cooking, so I learnt all that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But anything that's really tasty. People travel,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38you have people that come and work for you
0:11:38 > 0:11:40and you pick up everything they've got,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- so anything that tastes good, I'll steal the idea.- You'll throw it in.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Now, Tony, words ending -PLE. We've got a new target for you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- You have to score 20 or less. - So, I'm dyslexic,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- so "banana" is wrong then? - LAUGHTER
0:11:54 > 0:11:56OK, I'd say "wimple".
0:11:56 > 0:11:57"Wimple". Here's your red line.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Get below that, we'll be seeing you in Round Two.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02How many people said "wimple"?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05It's right.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Well done. Round Two, here we come. 13.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Second lowest score of the round. Takes your total up to 38.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- APPLAUSE - Great answer, Tony. Well played.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It's a lovely word as well, "wimple".
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- It's a cloth headdress, worn by nuns most commonly, these days.- Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- They love a wimple, don't they? Still very on trend for nuns.- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Richard, you, of course, were a very successful, established builder -
0:12:36 > 0:12:40a plasterer, a bricklayer, if we're going to get down to brass tacks.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44How has it been suddenly having this huge accolade of the Bake Off?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's been brilliant. I'm living two lives.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48But every job I do, I have to bring cake now,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50so it's doubled my workload really.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And turning up on site, presumably, with cakes, handing them round.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55There's a weight of expectation.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Builders are often very honest in their response
0:12:58 > 0:13:02when you give them cake, so they've tempered me quite a lot.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- What's the most popular cake on site then?- Builders love a doughnut.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- I think our main diet is doughnuts really.- That's an easy ride for you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That gets you out of a whole lot of trouble. Now, listen, you're on 28.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15You have to score 17 or less.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- 17 or less, otherwise you will be the high-scorers.- Oh.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- This cannot happen.- Now I'm seventh person to give an answer,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I feel like most of mine have been taken.- Oh, no!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28But I did have multiple answers, so I'll go for "multiple".
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- I'll stick with that one. - Very good indeed.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32AUDIENCE MURMURS Oh, they like that!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35"Multiple answers" very popular there. Here's your red line.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Quite low. If you can get below that with "multiple", you're home and dry.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well done! Look at that! 10!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53APPLAUSE
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- 38 is your total.- Well played, Richard. Great answer.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58"Multiple" - more than one.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00As in, if you have Richard and Frances on your show,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- you will get multiple cakes. - LAUGHTER
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Thank you very much indeed. Ed, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07- Great to have you here.- Indeed.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11You namechecked your restaurant earlier.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I love that sort of clean marble thing that you've gone for.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It looks beautiful.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17It's very old-school.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It was originally built in 1908, so I was very fortunate.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Just restored the whole place and put it back on the map.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26As a chef, and also as a father and a husband,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28do you find there's great pressure on you at home?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Toad-in-the-hole is just not enough.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Actually, toad-in-the-hole would be delicious. But beans on toast, say.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Not really. You take a different mind-set when you cook at home.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41As long as it's healthy and it's clean
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- and I don't make too much mess, everything's fine.- OK, now, Ed.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49You have to score 19 or less. 19 or less.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51What are you going to go for?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's going to be very simple and it's not "simple", it's "staple".
0:14:54 > 0:14:57"Staple". Ooh, this is going to be exciting.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Here is your red line. Quite low.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You have to get below that with "staple". Can you?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said "staple".
0:15:07 > 0:15:08It's right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Still going down... Oh, no!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- We're out?- It's 33, I'm afraid, which takes your total
0:15:17 > 0:15:20up to an unbeatable 59. APPLAUSE
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Yeah, sorry, Ed, another big scorer. Another food word, of course.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27You've got your staple food - meat, bread, pomegranates.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- The three staples.- Yeah. - Let's look at the pointless answers,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32the ones that none of our 100 people said.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35To empurple.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37"Fipple" is a mouthpiece for an instrument.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39"Oversimple" would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42"Popple", which is the running of a stream
0:15:42 > 0:15:45"Roseapple" is a lovely word.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48"Scrumple", which is another word for "crumple".
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well done if you said that. Let's take a look at the top three answers
0:15:55 > 0:15:58the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Right at the top, unsurprisingly, "apple" on 80.- There we are.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14the pair we're saying goodbye to, I'm so sorry, Ed and Paul.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Always tough on that first podium in the first round. I'm so sorry.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's been great having you here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Come back again.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Thanks very much indeed to Ed and Paul.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27APPLAUSE
0:16:27 > 0:16:30For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34APPLAUSE
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Look at that! Suddenly, we're down to only three pairs
0:16:36 > 0:16:39and at the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:16:39 > 0:16:42in time for our head-to-head round. Congratulations to everyone.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Jo, congratulations to you for our lowest-scoring individual answer.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51And you guys tied, tied, as our low-scoring pairs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55That's how exciting this game is! Best of luck to all three of you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03UK Top 40 Singles.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And the question concerns...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Songs containing food or drink in their title. Richard.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24On each board, we'll show you the names of six Top 40 singles
0:17:24 > 0:17:27that have food or drink in the title. We need you tell us
0:17:27 > 0:17:30the act who had a Top 40 hit with that song in the year shown.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33There will be six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36OK, here is our first board of six songs
0:17:36 > 0:17:38with food or drink in their title.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50I'll read those one last time.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08Now, Frances. How happy are we at this point?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Um...mixed feelings.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- Um, OK, Blur.- For...? - Coffee + TV.- Coffee + TV.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Excellent song, excellent answer. Let's see how many people said Blur.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23It's right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's a great answer, look at that. 11, Frances. Good score.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Good band as well.- Mmm.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- 11 for Blur. - Great song, great answer.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I told you Bake Off would do well, didn't I?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I told you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Thanks, Richard. Now, Tony.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Tony.- I love music, rubbish at names.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I'll go 1971, Brown Sugar. Is it Stranglers?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Stranglers, says Tony. Let's see if that's right
0:18:53 > 0:18:57and how many of our 100 people said The Stranglers for Brown Sugar.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01AUDIENCE GROANS Bad luck, Tony.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sorry, Tony. I think you're thinking of Golden Brown by The Stranglers,
0:19:08 > 0:19:09not Brown Sugar.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Thanks, Richard. Jo.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15This board's all yours, if you wanted to talk us through it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I cannot, for the life of me, think of the artist for all of them
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and I'm going to go for a really obvious one, I'm afraid,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24because Strawberry Fields Forever, I think, is The Beatles.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Strawberry Fields Forever, The Beatles, says Jo.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's good damage limitation.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Beatles.
0:19:34 > 0:19:3672. Not bad.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40APPLAUSE 72 for The Beatles.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Certainly better than 100. Well played, Jo.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Now, Brown Sugar was the Stones, The Rolling Stones.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Let's take a look at Milkshake. It's the next high scorer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57"Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard."
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Sweet Like Chocolate, we discussed the other day.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04That was our old band. Shanks & Bigfoot was the name of our band.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08We had a hit with Sweet Like Chocolate. We should reform one day.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- We must. Oh.- And Popcorn is the best answer on the board.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Everyone knows that song. If you don't think you know it, look it up.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19It's instantly familiar and it was by Hot Butter
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and would have scored you 1 point.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2611 - well done, Bake Off team. Frances, superb.
0:20:26 > 0:20:2811 - lovely low score.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31We then travel up to 72 where we find Jo and Jean-Christophe
0:20:31 > 0:20:35and then up to 100, Tony and Cyrus. Cyrus, you're not way out in front.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Let's see how we do
0:20:36 > 0:20:39on the next board. Best of luck. We need a low score from you,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- otherwise we'll have to say goodbye. - Well, it's goodbye.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Will the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49We're going to put six more songs with foodstuffs in the title
0:20:49 > 0:20:51on the board and here they are.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Jean-Christophe, that board's all yours.- Thank you so much.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Um, Vindaloo. I like football, I think I have an idea.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Keith Allen.- OK, Keith Allen, says Jean-Christophe.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Is it right for Vindaloo?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27How many people said it? There's your red line.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31You have to get below that with Keith Allen for Vindaloo. Is it right?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Ooh, I'm sorry, Jean-Christophe.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Not Keith Allen. Scores you 100 points.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Takes your total up to 172. - Sorry, Jean-Christophe.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46He was in the act, but it was not a Keith Allen song,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- I'm afraid.- I'm sorry. I'm deaf that's why.- Now, Cyrus.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- You've been thrown a lifeline, Cyrus.- Lifeline?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56If I only know one artist,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59there's only one artist there I know. That's American Pie.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Mr Don McLean.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Don McLean, says Cyrus. - The others I'm lost.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Here's your red line. You've got to get below 71.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07If you get below that...
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I doubt very much.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11..you're through to the next round. How many said Don McLean?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Everybody.- It's right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You've done it!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Very well done indeed! 44.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19APPLAUSE
0:22:19 > 0:22:21144 your total. Well done, Cyrus.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Very exciting.- Well played, Cyrus. Nicely played.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27He sold the lyrics to it - he'd written down the lyrics -
0:22:27 > 0:22:31he sold them at auction in 2015 for 1.2 million.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Yeah.- How about that?!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Yeah, OK.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Now, Richard, great news.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40You're through. Doesn't matter what you score,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42you will still go through to our head-to-head.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Do you want to talk us through that board? There are several unanswered ones.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47You can supply answers for all of them.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'll go for the only one that I think might be right
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and it's Sugar. I think that's Maroon 5.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Maroon 5. No red line. You're already through.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's see how many people said Maroon 5.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- It's right. Good answer, Richard. - Good answer, going do-do-do-do...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Yet another low score on that first podium. Down it goes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:077, look at that!
0:23:08 > 0:23:1018 is the total for Richard and Frances.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Superb. APPLAUSE
0:23:13 > 0:23:15That is a great combined score as well.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well played on podium one. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Baby Cakes is a terrific answer, if you knew this one.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24It is 3 Of A Kind, a one-hit wonder.
0:23:24 > 0:23:264 points for that. Vindaloo.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Keith Allen was in the band, but they were called Fat Les.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Would have scored you 11.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Candy is Robbie Williams. Would have scored you 22.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43And My Boy Lollipop is Millie and that would have scored you 24.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- So, best answer on the board, 3 Of A Kind.- Thanks, Richard.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:23:49 > 0:23:51with a high score of 172,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Jean-Christophe and Jo, I'm afraid it is you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It's been lovely having you on the show. Come and play again.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Jean-Christophe, we've got to get you to the final one time.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Thank you, Jean-Christophe and Jo. - Thank you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:24:05 > 0:24:07For Frances and Richard, Cyrus and Tony,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Wow, very well done indeed, Frances and Richard, Cyrus and Tony.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You're now one step closer to the final
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and a chance to play for that jackpot which
0:24:22 > 0:24:24currently stands at £2,500.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26APPLAUSE
0:24:26 > 0:24:29This is the point where we decide who stays with us
0:24:29 > 0:24:32to play for that jackpot and who leaves us.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37But you can now start playing as a team, so you can confer
0:24:37 > 0:24:40before you give your answers which takes quite a lot of pressure off.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45so it's very exciting.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Great British Bake Off versus The Incredible Spice Men.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It should be quite close. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53APPLAUSE
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Fictional Hat Wearers, Richard.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07You don't really need me to say anything, do you?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We're going to show you five pictures now of fictional characters
0:25:13 > 0:25:15who are famous for wearing hats.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Can you identify the most obscure of these?- Fabulous.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Let's reveal our five hat wearers from fiction and here they are.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We have got...
0:25:43 > 0:25:47There we go. Five fictional wearers of hats.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Frances and Richard, you've been our low scorers
0:25:49 > 0:25:53throughout the show, so you'll go first. Feel free to chat.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We're going to go for D, Dick Tracy.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07D, Dick Tracy. D, Dick Tracy, say Frances and Richard.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Cyrus and Tony, do you fancy talking through
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- all of those other hat wearers? - All the others.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- You've got Indiana Jones, Mary Poppins...- Mary Poppins.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17C is Oddjob, D is Dick Tracy
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- and E is Speedy Gonzales. - IN MEXICAN ACCENT:- Speedy Gonzales.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- LAUGHTER - Let's go for him.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- We'll go for E, Speedy Gonzales. - E, Speedy Gonzales.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, we have Dick Tracy and Speedy Gonzales.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Frances and Richard said Dick Tracy for D.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It is right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44That's a low score. Look at that. 15.
0:26:44 > 0:26:4815 for Dick Tracy. APPLAUSE
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Cyrus and Tony gave us Speedy Gonzales,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54in more ways than one, for E.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It's right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Should be close, this. Let's see...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Ooh, maybe not that close. 36. APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:0936 for Speedy Gonzales. Two good answers though.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Well done, Frances and Richard. After one round, you're up 1-0.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I think you both knew all of them
0:27:15 > 0:27:17and you chose the best two answers on the board as well,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20so you couldn't have played the round any better than that.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Thanks, very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Cyrus and Tony, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44but you get to answer it first. Best of luck. It concerns...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Wedding music.- Oh!- Oh! Wedding Music, Richard.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53We are going to play you five extracts now
0:27:53 > 0:27:56from classical pieces that are often played at weddings.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58You need to tell us the name of the composer.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We've also given you the initial of the composer's surname
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- with each one.- Let's play our five excerpts of music.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07This is nice, isn't it? We get some nice music.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Can we ask the audience? - LAUGHTER
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Phone a friend?- No. Here is piece A.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16MUSIC: Bridal Chorus
0:28:16 > 0:28:19MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH
0:28:19 > 0:28:22MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- So upbeat, isn't it?- Isn't it? Here's B.

0:29:46 > 0:29:52- OK, there we go.- Oh, we are first? - So, Cyrus and Tony will go first.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56So, since I can't ask the audience, we think we'll go for E.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58We'll take a big risk. I think that's Mendelssohn.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Mendelssohn, say Cyrus and Tony. Mendelssohn.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Now, Frances and Richard, which of these bakes do you think is better?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08LAUGHTER
0:30:08 > 0:30:12I'm more familiar with wedding cakes than wedding music.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Which would you like...?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Do you want to talk through all of them and have a think?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- We thought B was possibly Vivaldi. - C, Handel.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23And then we couldn't think of any composers beginning with C,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- so we went for Chopin.- Yeah.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27So, we're just going to guess one of them.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- We're guessing our way through. - Which would you like to guess?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- B, Vivaldi.- We'll go for B, Vivaldi. - Do you reckon?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37B, Vivaldi. So we have Mendelssohn and Vivaldi.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Cyrus and Tony said Mendelssohn for E.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right and how many people said Mendelssohn.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It's absolutely right.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49That is the Wedding March.
0:30:49 > 0:30:5142.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53APPLAUSE
0:30:53 > 0:30:55It wouldn't go lower.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Your elation just turned to bitter disappointment like that, Cyrus.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- 42 is OK.- The elation was that I got the name right.- It's good.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08It's a good answer. Frances and Richard have said Vivaldi for B.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Let's see if that's right and how many people said Vivaldi.
0:31:16 > 0:31:1971 for Vivaldi. There we are. APPLAUSE
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Congratulations, Cyrus and Tony, you're back in the game.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Yes, Mendelssohn's Wedding March, of course. A very good answer.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I always think it's going to turn into Rocky.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- I went to a wedding where it did. - I'd love that!- It was brilliant.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- You must be disappointed when it doesn't now.- So exciting.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Those cakes all look the same but our photographer's so good,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42they're all different. The first is fruit cake, the second is sponge...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44He's just decorated them all exactly the same,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46but he promises me they're different. Now, A is...
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- That is Wagner. - Wagner, of course it is.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- C...- Is Handel.- You're right.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Would have scored you too many points though.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07The only answer that would have beaten the Spice Men was D.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- It's not Chopin. It is... - MUSIC:- Trumpet Voluntary
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- And it is...- Jeremiah Clarke. - Jeremiah Clarke, absolutely.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- 5 points for that. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21So, here comes your third question. Very exciting indeed.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22I knew this was going to be close!
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Whoever wins this third question goes through to the final
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and plays for that jackpot for their charities.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns...
0:32:32 > 0:32:35LAUGHTER Muesli ingredients.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- I love muesli. - Muesli ingredients, Richard.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We are going to show you five ingredients you might find
0:32:41 > 0:32:44in a muesli but we're showing you them in anagram form.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Can you unscramble them? If you give the most obscure answer,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- you'll be playing in the final.- Wow.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK, can you unmix these muesli ingredients? Here they are.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Frances and Richard will go first.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- I've suddenly gone off muesli. - Yeah, me too.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Shall we pick one of the other three then?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21OK, we're giving in cos we can't get the bottom one,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25but we're going to go for the first one. Sultana.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Sultanas.- Sultanas.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31OK, yes, sultanas. Now, Cyrus and Tony.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36OK, so we have a couple of them. So, we've got number two - hazelnut.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Sultanas, hazelnuts, don't know, raisins, don't know.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Shall we say raisins?- OK, go for raisins.- Raisins, number four.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47You're going to go for raisins. So, we have sultanas and raisins.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Frances and Richard said sultanas.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57It is right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0430. APPLAUSE
0:34:05 > 0:34:1030 for sultanas. Now, Cyrus and Tony have gone for raisins for "in saris".
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Let's see if that's right and how may people said raisins.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Everybody said raisins.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Ooh, not everybody. Still...
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Oh. 63 for raisins. APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:24You did it, Frances and Richard. Very well done.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Hazelnuts wouldn't have saved you either
0:34:30 > 0:34:33cos hazelnuts is the biggest scorer on the board.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Frances and Richard, have you worked out the bottom one yet?
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- No, it's dried something.- It's dried something. It is dried apricot.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- ALL:- Oh!- Would have scored you...
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- Now...- Well, there's "wheat" in there.- There IS "wheat" in there.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53This other one is very, very difficult.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Anyone in the audience worked out that one?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Nobody. Usually somebody does. Wholegrain wheat.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- ALL:- Oh!- And, unsurprisingly, a pointless answer,
0:35:04 > 0:35:05so very well done if you got that at home.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:35:10 > 0:35:12That was very close, very exciting indeed.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Cyrus and Tony, you've come so far, but this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Please come back and play again. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Cyrus and Tony, wonderful contestants.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24APPLAUSE
0:35:24 > 0:35:28For Frances and Richard, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:32What about that?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Frances and Richard, seasoned competition winners that you are,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39you've seen off all the other contestants
0:35:39 > 0:35:41and have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48- Superb.- That's good.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities
0:35:52 > 0:35:56and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:04We've put you through your paces. We started off with words ending -PLE,
0:36:04 > 0:36:09then we had songs with food in them, then we had people wearing hats,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11then we had wedding music
0:36:11 > 0:36:13and then we finished off with muesli ingredients.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- It's a perfect day. - Typical Bake Off.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Is there anything we've missed out?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19As always, you get to choose your category
0:36:19 > 0:36:21from the four that go up on the board behind me,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23so let's hope there's something you like the look of.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- I've been to Canada. - I love Canada.- Shall we do Canada?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I'm going to be useless at it. And Cats?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38But it's only for 100 people in THIS country,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- so we'll be equally as useless as people...- OK, Canada.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- We're going to go Canada. - We'll try Canada.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Canada it is. Richard. - Best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Three very different questions here. Hopefully, one of them suits you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51We are looking for...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59This one might be slightly simpler.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04It travels through loads of places.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So, words of four or more letters in the first verse of O Canada,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14stations served by The Canadian or tracks
0:37:14 > 0:37:18on Leonard Cohen's Greatest Hits from 2009. Best of luck.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21As always, you have up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23To win that jackpot for your charities,
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- just one of those three answers has to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- OK.- I don't know the Canadian national anthem.- OK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38And I'm not that good on Leonard Cohen, so shall we do...?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Stations.- Yeah. - Stations.- We've both been.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43We've both been to Canada. Yeah, OK.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Um...- Shall we just start saying them?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47We can think about it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Is Saskatchewan...? - There's Saskatchewan or Halifax.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56- Calgary, Vancouver.- Calgary. Um, Winnipeg.- Winnipeg.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Is that Canada? That is Canada, isn't it?- Yeah, it is.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00- Um...- I like Winnipeg.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Um, everyone's heard of Toronto.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Most people know about Toronto, don't they?- Um...
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Let's go Winnipeg...- Whistler... - Saskatchewan.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Whistler. Is there a station at Whistler?- No, that's the...
0:38:14 > 0:38:20- That's the mountain, isn't it? - Or Victoria?- Ooh, lovely.- Yeah.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Is that a state though...? - Ten seconds left.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- No.- Um...
0:38:24 > 0:38:27OK, so Saskatchewan...
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Winnipeg...- Winnipeg...
0:38:30 > 0:38:35OK, there's your time up, just as you come up with your three answers.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- What are you going to give me? - Er, three Canadian stations.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Three Canadian stations. And they are?- Winnipeg.- Winnipeg.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Halifax.- Halifax.- And Saskatchewan. - And Saskatchewan.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- All of them are going to be pointless, obviously.- Winnipeg.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- They might be.- Winnipeg. - Winnipeg we put last.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- Least likely to be pointless? - Halifax? Shall we go for that?- Yeah.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Halifax, OK. Halifax and then Saskatchewan in the middle.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order
0:39:04 > 0:39:06and here they are. We've got...
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Congratulations. Three places from Canada. That's... Places from Canada.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18They look good, a safe bet. Surely one of them has to be pointless.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Let's say one of them is and you win that jackpot for your charities,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23what charities are you playing for? Frances?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27I'm playing for The Campaign for Drawing, which is just that,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29and they've got a big thing called The Big Draw,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33just encouraging people to draw, even those that think they can't.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Wonderful. Richard?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39I'm playing for the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Melanoma skin cancer is the malady that affects builders
0:39:42 > 0:39:46and outside workers the most, so I'm looking after my brethren.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Very good indeed. Well done. APPLAUSE
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Two great causes there.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Let's hope one of your answers will win that jackpot for those causes.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Now then, we are looking for stations,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02cities which The Canadian railway line stops.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Your first answer was Halifax,
0:40:04 > 0:40:07the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let's see, for £2,500, how many people said Halifax.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Ooh, bad luck! Not Halifax.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Which leaves two more answers. Your next answer was Saskatchewan.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Great name for a place. Does The Canadian intercity line stop there?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Let's find out how many people said Saskatchewan.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Is it pointless for £2,500?
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Ooh, I'm afraid this train doesn't stop there.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44You only have one more chance now to win today's jackpot.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48You're third and final answer was Winnipeg.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Everything is now riding on this. It has to be pointless.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54For £2,500, let's see how many people said Winnipeg.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58It's right.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01So, your first two answers, Halifax and Saskatchewan,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04were incorrect, but Winnipeg is absolutely right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Down it goes through the teens. We're into single figures.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Still going down...
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Oh, you've done it!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:15That is superb! Brilliant work! Superb!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I'm heading straight to Winnipeg right now.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Congratulations. You couldn't find dried apricot,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29but, boy, could you find Winnipeg!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32They've got loads of pomegranate in Winnipeg as well.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34It's a pointless answer, which means you win
0:41:34 > 0:41:38that jackpot of £2,500 for your charity. Very well done indeed.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Very well played.- That's brilliant. Congratulations.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46It's been brilliant right from the start.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Lovely to see you win the jackpot but also very good of them
0:41:49 > 0:41:51to put them in the right order.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Made it much more exciting, not putting Winnipeg first.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Absolutely brilliant.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Let's look at the pointless answers for the different categories.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00We'll start with O Canada.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07And there was one other pointless answer on that which was "wide".
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Well done if you got any of those.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Let's look at this Canadian intercity train.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13It goes all the way from Toronto to Vancouver
0:42:13 > 0:42:16and I've got a list of some of the names.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18It just makes you want to go on it cos there's a few up here.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Armstrong.- Sounds fun.- Lovely.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Saskatoon is in Saskatchewan.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Saskatchewan is the province, so it's not a correct answer.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29But you can also call at - all of these are pointless -
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Allanwater Bridge, Boston Bar, Brereton Lake,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Chilliwack, Copelands Landing, Felix,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Sioux Lookout, Winnitoba and Sudbury Junction.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40All of those are pointless answers.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Just makes you want to get on the train, doesn't it?
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Let's take a look at Leonard Cohen. Some big songs here of his.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Also, Chelsea Hotel No. 2, Closing Time,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Dance Me To The End Of Love, The Future,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Waiting For The Miracle and Who By Fire.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01All of those were pointless answers, but congratulations on Winnipeg.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03A brilliant answer from a brilliant team.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Thanks so much, Richard.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Thanks once again to our winning contestants, Frances and Richard,
0:43:08 > 0:43:12who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Brilliant. APPLAUSE
0:43:17 > 0:43:18Join us next time,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21when we'll be putting more knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28APPLAUSE
