0:00:16 > 0:00:18CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where you are
0:00:28 > 0:00:30rewarded for knowing obscure answers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm Greg, this is my son-in-law Gary,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42we're from Rossendale in East Lancashire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Couple number two. Hi, I'm Laura, I'm from Bury
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and this is my flat-mate Georgia from the Wirral.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Scott. This is my friend Alan and we're from
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Lanarkshire in Scotland.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Matthew and this is Alice and we're friends
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and former housemates during our time at the University of Bristol.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Thanks to all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout
0:01:06 > 0:01:07the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That just leaves one more person to introduce -
0:01:09 > 0:01:12a man who eats, sleeps and breathes facts.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13In fact, just this last week,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16he's devoured Dante's Inferno, been to bed with Jane Austen
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and inhaled the entire works of Shakespeare.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Good afternoon. And to you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We had an incredibly rare event last time -
0:01:30 > 0:01:33three pointless answers in the jackpot round from Phil and Ruth.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36They were brilliant throughout, weren't they? Did ever so well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Had questions on German federal districts
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and used to live in Germany.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42They not only knew them, but knew how to pronounce them.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44That was impressive. Made me look terrible.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I wasn't happy at all.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I don't like it if people know how things are supposed to be pronounced.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We've only got one returning pair - that was Matthew and Alice.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Joined the 200 Club in the first round
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but were very unlucky to join the 200 Club -
0:01:57 > 0:01:59gave us two good answers,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01they just didn't quite meet the criteria we were looking for.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Hopefully, we'll see a little bit more from you today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Nice first round coming up as well. Good stuff. Thanks very much.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Now, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:08 > 0:02:10have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:13 > 0:02:14those people couldn't get.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16They're trying to find a pointless answer
0:02:16 > 0:02:18which is an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Each time that happens, we'll add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You'll have gathered the jackpot was won last time,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27so today's jackpot starts off back at ?1,000.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:37 > 0:02:38but there's to be no conferring.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39At the end of the round,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the pair with the highest score will be heading home,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44so do all you can to make sure it's not you.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Our first category today is...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Words ending A-N-G-E. Richard?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We're looking for any word with its own entry
0:03:13 > 0:03:16in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends in A-N-G-E.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19No hyphenated words, no proper nouns, no trademarks, anything like that.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Any word ending A-N-G-E. Very best of luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Thanks very much. Gary and Greg, you all drew lots before the show,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and today you're going to go first.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Greg, welcome to the show. What do you do, Greg?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'm retired now, but I used... Well,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I still own my own business with my wife.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41But we're now retired for about two-and-a-half years,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42living the life of leisure.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46What was your business? We are decorators' merchants.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So we sell paint, wallpaper, etc to the trade.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Excellent. Now you've retired, what do you like to do?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54We have a motor home,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57we go everywhere around Europe and elsewhere.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I play short tennis. Short tennis?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Well, you play with a shorter racket and a soft ball
0:04:06 > 0:04:09and on a badminton court, so it's a bit smaller game than...
0:04:09 > 0:04:12What was wrong normal tennis?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Too slow to get round the court - it's better when you're a bit...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I see. OK, fair enough.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Greg, what are you going to go for?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I've given you a little time to think of words ending A-N-G-E.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Derange.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Derange, says Greg - that's good. Derange.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Let's find out if it's right. Let's see how many said derange.
0:04:40 > 0:04:4126.
0:04:43 > 0:04:4626 for derange, Greg.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Very well played.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51As in, "De Himalayas are derange of mountains in Nepal."
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Thanks very much indeed. Pleasure.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Now, Georgia - welcome. Hi. Great to have you here.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01What do you do, Georgia? I'm a student. Whereabouts?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03The University of Glasgow. What year are you in?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I've just finished my final year, fourth year. That's it! Mm-hm.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09So the real world beckons. Unfortunately.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11We're your launch pad into the real world - I like that.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Yeah. What are you hoping to do? That's the big question.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Hopefully, you know, be on TV shows for a while.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Well, it's only for the next 45 minutes, yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22LAUGHTER
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Um...no, I'm hoping to get on a graduate scheme
0:05:25 > 0:05:28in the September intake. So... Into what?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Into any profession that will have me!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Hopefully I'll be able to apply myself to anything -
0:05:33 > 0:05:35PR, marketing, those kind of things.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK - well, no better platform than Pointless
0:05:37 > 0:05:39to get your wares out there.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42As you can see, Georgia is available from right now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45If you want to get in touch, press the red button
0:05:45 > 0:05:46and you'll get her CV... Although...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Do wait until you hear her answer, because, you know,
0:05:49 > 0:05:50if it's terrible, then...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You might come up with a good one, then everything's happy.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57OK. Bad one, though, and then...might be quite difficult.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58That would be disappointing.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01A bad one, you'll be in prison within five to six years,
0:06:01 > 0:06:02I would have thought.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I do have one, but I think it's maybe a bit too risky.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11As long as it ends in A-N-G-E.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, you think it might be hyphenated?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16No, I don't know if it's a real word.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'm going to go... I'm going to go with blancmange.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Blancmange. Yeah. Blancmange.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26She's available to be hired. Press the red button.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27OK, let's see if that's right
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It's absolutely right, obviously. 26 is our only score so far.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Where's it going to be in relation to that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Passes that comfortably - 20. Very well done indeed.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Great answer, Georgia.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah, terrific answer, Georgia. Very well played.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I would employ Georgia, if I was...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's just reminded me of two things -
0:06:50 > 0:06:53a great band from the '80s... Blancmange... ..and pudding.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Mmm! Mmm!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Pudding. I do like pudding. So do I.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00If I had to choose every day between main course and pudding...
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Pudding every time. Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You don't have to choose, fortunately.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Sometimes you have to choose between pudding and cheese.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I struggle there. Do you? Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Pudding and starter, always pudding. Always pudding, yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Starter's just silly.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And as for bread, what are they thinking about there?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Before the starter, when you're really hungry,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19they go, "Perhaps you'd like some of this."
0:07:19 > 0:07:23You go, "Ooh, I would. Um-um-yum..."
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Then they come with a starter, you think, "I couldn't eat that!"
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Now then, Alan, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What do you do, Alan? I work in a bank in Glasgow.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37What department of the bank do you work in?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Are you a cashier? Investment - wealth management.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Wealth management - I see, OK. So an investment bank.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45How long have you done that for? Been there for nine months.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Are people nicer about bankers in Glasgow than they are here?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's fine - don't mind, up there.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What do you get up to in your spare time, Alan?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Em...play a bit of football, bit of golf, go out with my mates,
0:07:56 > 0:07:57and I used to be in a pipe band.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00What did you do in that? Were you a piper?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01No, I used to be...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I always describe it as the guy at the front with the stick.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The drum major. You were the drum major?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So you turn, you...twiddle... Yeah, do all that stuff.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And how far have you taken your drum majoring?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I was actually world champion a few years back.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Get...out...of...town! What about that?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You were the world champion? What did that involve?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Em, there's a few things. You get marked on how you look -
0:08:23 > 0:08:26obviously how you dress, not how you look... OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Your marching and your flourishing, which is all the fancy stuff.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31You can flourish well. I'm pretty good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Are you essentially saying there was a swimsuit round?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Look at that! Superb. How long ago was that?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43That was 2003, so...15, I was. Heady days. Heady days.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Anyway, Alan, we need a word ending A-N-G-E.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Eh...got a few, but I think I'm going to one that's pretty safe.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm going to go for exchange.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Exchange says Alan. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Let's see how many said exchange.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Well, 26 our high, 20 our low at this stage.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Oh, look at that, you passed them both.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10A new low, there, with exchange.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And a good word for a banker as well. Yeah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Good word for a banker to come up with,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17not a good word FOR a banker.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Thanks very much, Richard.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Alice, welcome back -
0:09:21 > 0:09:24our only returning pair, Matthew and Alice.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Tell us what happened last time. Um...we failed.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You didn't, you...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well, you did, you scored 200 points,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34but you were going about it in a very proper Pointless kind of way.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You were trying very hard to find low-scoring answers.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Remind us what you do, Alice. I'm a PhD student.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43What's your area? I'm studying bioscience,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47so I'm trying to produce biofuels in algae.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50This is... I think it's just a brilliant area.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52How long have you been doing your PhD?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Just under a year.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Just under a year, and another three to go after this. Yeah.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And by the end of it, you will have found a car
0:09:58 > 0:10:01that runs on grass, which is just superb.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Now then, Alice, what are you going to go for?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05A word ending in A-N-G-E.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Not very good with words
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and I can't really spell very well.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Um...so...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I don't know if it's spelt correctly, but...rearrange?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Rearrange, says Alice. Rearrange.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said rearrange.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26It's right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:3222 - not bad at all.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Not bad at all.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3722 for rearrange.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Well played, Alice.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Alice is someone you'd allow not to be able to spell properly,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43cos she's going to save the world. She is.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Honestly, concentrate on what you're good at, I would say.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Leave the spelling to everyone else. She's not bad - "rearrange."
0:10:49 > 0:10:52That was a very good answer. Thanks very much.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores -
0:10:54 > 0:10:5719, best score of that pass, Alan - well done to you.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Up to 20, where we find Georgia and Laura.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Up to 22, where we find Alice and Matthew,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04then up to 26, where we find Greg and Gary.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Gary, we'll need a nice low score from you in the next pass.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08You have to hope it's enough
0:11:08 > 0:11:11to keep the Rossendale team in Pointless today.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Coming back down the line -
0:11:12 > 0:11:14will the second player please take their place?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21OK. Matthew - words ending in A-N-G-E.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Matthew, remind us what you're doing?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'm also doing a PhD,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29but I'm looking into how snapdragons produce hairs.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Are you really? Yes, yeah. And how do they?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Um, well...that's the point of the project, I suppose.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I've got three more years to work it out.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39How they produce hairs?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Little cilia that grow on snapdragons?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Yeah, and it protects them from drought and things like that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I tell you what, you better be able to spell,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48cos that's not saving the world.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56OK - now, Matthew, to avoid becoming the high scorers,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59you really would want to be scoring 3 or less.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02OK, well...I guess I'll "mix it up" a little
0:12:02 > 0:12:03and say melange.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Good - on both scores, in fact. Good.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Melange says Matthew, melange.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12There is your red line, it's very, very low.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I wonder if melange can get you down there?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17It's right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:246 for melange.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Best score so far, Matthew, well done.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Takes your total up to 28.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Very well played, Matthew - a varied mixture, melange,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and terrific work on podium four.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39They were unlucky last time, and I think - I assume -
0:12:39 > 0:12:41that will see you safely through. Well played.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Very well done. Now, Scott, welcome. What do you do, Scott?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46I'm a PE teacher,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49but I'm currently working for a qualifications awarding body
0:12:49 > 0:12:51as a liaison manager.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53What sort of qualifications are those?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55All types of qualifications -
0:12:55 > 0:12:57the Scottish equivalent of GSCEs, basically.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59What are your hobbies? I'm guessing sports...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah, very sporty.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I enjoy my football, golf, badminton...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07But more or less football or golf. Bit of short tennis in there, Scott?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Not so much short tennis.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I prefer full-size tennis courts, to be honest.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15OK, now, Scott, you want to be scoring eight or less
0:13:15 > 0:13:16to avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Do you think you can do that? Struggling, to be honest with you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Em...there's a few risky ones and there's a few I can think of,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26but I'm not sure if they're hyphenated.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So I'm going to just go for arrange.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Arrange, says Scott, arrange.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many said arrange.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35There's your red line.
0:13:42 > 0:13:4444 for arrange.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Takes your total up to 63, Scott.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Could have been a lot worse, I think.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Rearrange scored 22 and arrange scores 44.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54That is maths. Yeah.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Now, Laura, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58What do you do?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Like Georgia, I've just finished my degree at Glasgow University.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Just finished. Yeah. Sad to leave?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Very sad, I've had a great time up there.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Happy years up there. What were you reading? History.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And have you got plans for the rest of life?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Um...no long-term plans at the minute.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I've got a job in America for a few months,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19but after that...don't know.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Excellent. Best of luck with that. You're currently on 20.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27To avoid becoming the high scorers, 42 or less is your target. Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I've got a few options. There's one that's risky,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34then the rest are kind of rubbish,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36so I'm going to go with the risky one, I think.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I'm going to say phalange. Phalange.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44There is your red line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47It's right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And you're through to the next round, very well done.
0:14:53 > 0:14:551! Best score so far.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Very well done.
0:14:59 > 0:15:011 takes your total up to 21, through you go.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04That's a terrific answer, Laura. Very well played.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Gary, welcome. What do you do? I'm in sales.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Can we ask what you sell?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Last ten years, it's been working for various bathroom manufacturers,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16so toilets, basins, baths...bathroom products.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17In your spare time, what do you get up to?
0:15:17 > 0:15:22I play a lot of badminton for a local team
0:15:22 > 0:15:24and I'm a fully qualified referee,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26so I referee a lot of youth football.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Are you? Do you enjoy that? I do. I really enjoy it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Are they generally nice to you? After about five minutes, yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35What do you do in those five minutes?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Make sure they know not to mess about.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39OK, fair enough. Fair enough.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Anyway, you're on 26.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44If you can score 36 or less, you're in Round Two, Gary.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Is this the sort of round you like? Em...not really, no.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I did say to my children - or they said to me -
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I'd probably bottle out and go for a safe answer.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56So I'm not going to, I don't think.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59So I'm going to go for...interchange.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Yeah, got some nice noises from the audience there.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Interchange, OK. Here's your red line.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07If you get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10It's right, obviously.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15There you go - take your place in Round Two.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Still going down...look at that!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Second-best answer of the round, Gary. Very well done.
0:16:22 > 0:16:2328 is your total.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I have to say, looking down the list of answers here
0:16:27 > 0:16:28and looking at the answers you gave us,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31everything you've given us is right down the far end of the list.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Terrific round from everybody.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Arrange is the only one that scored too highly.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Prearrange was going to be mine. Prearrange? Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Arrange scored 44...
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Oh, lord, I know what's going to happen...
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Rearrange scored 22.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48So you take off 22 each time, right? Yeah.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Take off 44 to 22, take off another 22.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Prearrange is a pointless answer. Oh, is it? Yeah. Hey! Oh, good.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Very well done, very well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You missed one low-scoring word, everybody.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Five points for estrange. Estrange - not a bad score.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Apart from that, honestly, on the list,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09every single one of them - gone.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Very impressive. Very impressive.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Quite tough - you've done well if you got one of these.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Counterchange, which is to make a chequered pattern on something.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Downchange, omnirange would have been a pointless answer.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Outrange - there's prearrange, well done -
0:17:26 > 0:17:30and vendange, which is a French grape harvest.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Let's look at the top answers,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Mange would have scored you 47.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Strange would have scored you 52.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And it's been at the end of all these other words -
0:17:42 > 0:17:44range would have scored you 83 points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49At the end of our first round, I'm sorry to say it's Scott and Alan
0:17:49 > 0:17:52who will be heading away with their high score of 63.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Arrange, it was a big score there, but nothing wrong with it,
0:17:55 > 0:17:56two good answers.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We had to have a high scorer in there,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'm afraid it turned out to be you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02We look forward to seeing you next time.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Thanks for playing. Scott and Alan, everyone.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Three pairs remain, and obviously,
0:18:16 > 0:18:17we'll be saying goodbye to another pair
0:18:17 > 0:18:19at the end of this round.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21That was very well done, that last round.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Some great answers in there - melange from Matthew,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27phalange from Laura and interchange from Gary.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Yes, great answers there.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31None of you have been here before - Matthew and Alice,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33our returning pair, left in Round One last time,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35so welcome to Round Two to all three pairs.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Our category is...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41People - can you decide in your pairs who'll go first
0:18:41 > 0:18:43and who'll go second?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Famous people born in Cardiff. Richard?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58On each pass, we'll show you six clues
0:18:58 > 0:18:59to famous people born in Cardiff.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01You just have to tell us who they are.
0:19:01 > 0:19:0312 in all to have a go at at home.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Thanks very much.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Here's our first board of six famous Cardiff people...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51There you are - six clues to six people born in Cardiff.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Gary?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Right, well, there's one up there that I've got to go for.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01If I get it wrong, I will get caned back home.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03But it's the TV writer
0:20:03 > 0:20:05who introduced the Daleks to Doctor Who.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I think it's Terry Nation. Terry Nation, says Gary.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Good Doctor Who knowledge there - assuming it's right, obviously.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Good...
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Terry Nation.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Let's see if it's right and, if so, how many people said it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's absolutely right. Very well done, Gary.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Oh, it's brilliant - look at that! 8, Gary.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35That'll be a tough score to beat. Well played, Gary.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38You've had a terrific start to your Pointless career there.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The people at home are big Doctor Who fans, are they? Well...me.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46He used to work as a joke writer for Tony Hancock, Terry Nation.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49He fell out with Tony Hancock and got the job on Doctor Who
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and invented the word "Dalek". They discovered recently...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I think I'm right in saying this - it means "alien" in Croatian,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but he had no idea about that at all.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Clever man. Weird, isn't it? Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Now then, Laura, who are all these people born in Cardiff?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Yeah...I know a couple,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09but I think I'm going to go for the comedy partner of Mel Smith
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and say Sue Perkins.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Sue Perkins, says Laura, for the comedy partner of Mel Smith.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22No! Bad luck, bad luck, Laura.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28I know what you're thinking of, but that's not right, I'm afraid.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30100 points is what you score for that, sorry.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I think we all see the accident that just happened there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Sue Perkins is the comedy partner of Mel Giedroyc.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Yeah. Not Mel Smith, sorry.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Now, Matthew, you are the last person to have this board.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Do you think you can talk us through it? Absolutely not. Um...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I'm glad that takes the pressure off a little bit.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Um...oh...
0:21:51 > 0:21:57I think the long-serving Man United midfielder will be Ryan Giggs
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and I don't know whether the Paralympic athlete
0:21:59 > 0:22:03will be Tanni Grey-Thompson but she doesn't sound Welsh, so...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Um...
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Lead singer of Catatonia is somewhere deep in my mind
0:22:09 > 0:22:10and I can't find it all.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'm going to say Ryan Giggs for the long-serving footballer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Ryan Giggs, you're going to say.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19It is right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2437.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Not a bad score in the context, Matthew.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Well played, Matthew.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Tanni Grey-Thompson doesn't sound Welsh,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36but her real name is Carys and she was born in Cardiff.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Would have been a terrific answer, would've scored 16 points.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Probably not a risk worth taking, though, cos you knew Ryan Giggs.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Now, I bet you can fill in these other three.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I think I can. The comedy partner of Mel Smith?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Griff Rhys Jones. Absolutely. Mel and Griff, 58 points there.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53The former lead singer of Catatonia?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Lovely Cerys Matthews. Lovely Cerys Matthews, yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Would've scored 27.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58And the journalist?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Jon Ronson. Jon Ronson. Worth reading everything he writes,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03but a pointless answer on this occasion.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Very well done if you said Jon Ronson.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:23:08 > 0:23:108, the best score of that pass -
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Gary, well done, your Pointless copybook
0:23:13 > 0:23:15is, so far, unblemished.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Then up to 37,
0:23:16 > 0:23:17where Matthew and Alice are,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20then up to 100 - sorry, Laura and Georgia.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23That was a good answer, but a wrong answer,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24as Roy Walker would have said.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28We need, at the very least, a low score from you, Georgia,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30and hope that's enough to see you through.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39OK, let's put six more clues on the board - here they are...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'll read those all one last time.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Now, Alice, we're looking for the names of these famous people
0:24:28 > 0:24:32born in Cardiff, all described by these clues.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36How's that board for you? Um...OK, I think. I think...
0:24:36 > 0:24:41My housemate is a Spurs supporter, so I think I'll got with that one -
0:24:41 > 0:24:42that's Gareth Bale?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Gareth Bale, says Alice. Gareth Bale.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46You want to score 62 or less
0:24:46 > 0:24:48to avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50There's your red line. That's what 62 looks like.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It is right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You are through to the head-to-head, very well done, Alice.
0:25:01 > 0:25:0221, great answer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0558 is your total.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Good answer - also won it in 2013 as well.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Won Young Player Of The Year and Player Of The Year.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Brilliant player.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Thanks, Richard. Now, Georgia...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Em... You know what you need to do here.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I only know two, em...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23But I'm going to go for the less obvious one, obviously.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26OK - well, if you are going to survive,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30the only way it would be would be if Greg made a mistake
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and scored 100, which would take their total up to 108,
0:25:32 > 0:25:37so really, you want to be scoring 7 or less with your answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So...yeah. I'm going to go for the former Blue Peter presenter
0:25:40 > 0:25:42once engaged to Katherine Jenkins
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and say Gethin Jones.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48OK, Gethin Jones, says Georgia. No red line for you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Let's see if it's right,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It is right.
0:25:59 > 0:26:0013.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Not a bad score at all.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Second-lowest of the whole round, Georgia.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08A valiant effort, Georgia - yeah, very well played.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Gary, do you know who Gethin Jones once played in Doctor Who?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Eh, no. He once played a Cyberman.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Thanks very much indeed. Now, Greg.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Greg, the board's all yours. Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25A bit of a struggle, really. I think I know a couple.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Obviously, the singer is Shirley Bassey
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and the journalist, is that John Humphrys?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Um...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I don't know the rest, but I'll play safe,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I don't want to let Gary down. Shirley Bassey.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You are already through to the head-to-head,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It is right, of course.
0:26:46 > 0:26:4785 - big score, there.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Takes your total up 93, but you are through anyway.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Yeah, a couple of toughies on this board.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56You're right about John Humphrys.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Would've been a much lower score, but you're through anyway.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Would've scored you 24.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04The clergyman is the Reverend Roger Royle.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07That would have scored you 1 point, well done if you knew that.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's a pointless answer, this next one -
0:27:09 > 0:27:10composer, singer and actor
0:27:10 > 0:27:12who starred in Hitchcock's The Lodger.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Very well done if you said Ivor Novello.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Ivor Novello was the answer there. Really? Yeah. Wow.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Thank you very much, Richard.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23At the end of the round, I'm afraid it's Georgia and Laura
0:27:23 > 0:27:26who we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 113.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Bad luck. As soon as I said Sue Perkins,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I knew I'd made a mistake.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I knew two of the other answers as well, so...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Oh, that's annoying. Never mind.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It all bodes very well for when we next see you, next show.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We look forward to that very much.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Meantime, thanks for playing, Georgia and Laura.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Congratulations, Matthew and Alice, Gary and Greg.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55You're one step closer to the final
0:27:55 > 0:27:57and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59which currently stands at ?1,000.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Our task in this round
0:28:00 > 0:28:03is to find out who's going through to the final. To do that,
0:28:03 > 0:28:04you're now going head-to-head.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The big difference is you're now allowed to confer,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09so you can have a chat before you answer
0:28:09 > 0:28:10and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:10 > 0:28:12will play for the jackpot.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Matthew and Alice, you were out in the first round last time.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Look how the fallen are made mighty.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You are our lowest-scoring pair,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22our golden couple in the head-to-head round.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26How are you feeling? Not too bad. Much happier this time. Good.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Two great answers - two footballers, in fact - in that last round,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Gareth Bale and Ryan Giggs, saw you through.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Gary and Greg, very solid performance from you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Shirley Bassey was a high scorer. Should have said John Humphrys.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You knew you were already through, so it was fine.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Very best of luck to both pairs, it's going to be an exciting round.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Science Fiction/Double Feature.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01We're going to show you five stills from science fiction films
0:29:01 > 0:29:04all mentioned in the lyrics of the Rocky Horror Picture Show song
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Science Fiction/Double Feature.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09We need you to tell us the name of any of the films you're about to see.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10OK. Thanks very much.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Let's reveal our five stills - here they come.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38There we are, five science fiction shows
0:29:38 > 0:29:40that feature in the Science Fiction/Double Feature song
0:29:40 > 0:29:41from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Matthew and Alice, you've played best throughout the show,
0:29:44 > 0:29:45you get to go first.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49CONTESTANTS WHISPER
0:29:52 > 0:29:55OK, well...this is a bit of a hopeless round for us.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59We're too busy doing real science rather than science fiction.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Those snapdragons aren't going to grow hairs on their own, are they?
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Troublesome. Yeah.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Um...I think, as a result,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08we're going to have to go for a very obvious one in King Kong,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10which is E.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13E, King Kong, say Matthew and Alice. E, King Kong.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Gary, something about your knowledge of Doctor Who
0:30:16 > 0:30:18tells me you might be quite good at this.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Again, I should know some.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21I think A is Flash Gordon.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26B...I don't have a clue. D is the Invisible Man.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30I think we'll go for C, we think it's Forbidden Planet.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33You're going to say C, Forbidden Planet.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36So we have E, King Kong, and C, Forbidden Planet.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Matthew and Alice said E, King Kong.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right and, if so,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44It is, of course...
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Ooh, look at that! 91 for King Kong.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52That is quite a...quite a recognisable still,
0:30:52 > 0:30:53I'd say, probably - there we are.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Gary and Greg have said Forbidden Planet for C. Forbidden Planet.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's right and it wins you the point.
0:31:08 > 0:31:106 - very well done, Gary.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13And Greg.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18After one question, Gary and Greg, you are up 1-0.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Well played. Let's take a look through the rest of this board.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26A is Flash Gordon. Would have scored you 24 points.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29B is a pointless answer. It is It Came From Outer Space.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Would have scored you nothing at all. Well done if you said that at home.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35And D is The Invisible Man
0:31:35 > 0:31:37and that would've scored you 44.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Thank you very much.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Here comes your second question.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Matthew and Alice, you must win this to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It concerns...
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Well, football did well for you in Round Two,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57let's hope it'll save your bacon here in this round. Richard?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Going to give you five sets of initials now
0:32:00 > 0:32:03of players who've scored an FA Cup goal.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05We'll also give you their team and the year they did it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10OK. Let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Gary and Greg, you get to go first this time.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43THEY WHISPER
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Are we going to gamble? No, no.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I say we go for Lawrie Sanchez... I do, I agree with that, yeah.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Em...we're going to go for Wimbledon in '88...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54You're not going to go for Bolton Wanderers?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57We think we know it, but... Greg thinks he has an inkling,
0:32:57 > 0:32:58but not when we're up first, no.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Really? No. I'm not that old, by the way!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03But, eh... Em...so, yeah,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05we're saying Lawrie Sanchez for Wimbledon.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08OK. Lawrie Sanchez, say Gary and Greg.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Lawrie Sanchez.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Matthew and Alice,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14do you think you can talk us through the board at all?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17We weren't born in the other two.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22So the ones that are left are Liverpool and Chelsea,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24which is Didier Drogba.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I think we're going to go for Michael Owen for Liverpool.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30OK. Michael Owen, say Matthew and Alice,
0:33:30 > 0:33:31for Liverpool.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32We have Lawrie Sanchez and Michael Owen.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Gary and Greg have gone for Lawrie Sanchez -
0:33:34 > 0:33:37let's see if that's right, let's see how many said that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40It's right.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Very well done indeed.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Yet another astonishingly low score from the Gary/Greg partnership.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Matthew and Alice have gone for Michael Owen.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said that.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00It is right,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02but 8 is what it has to beat.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0536 for Michael Owen.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Very well done - Gary and Greg, after only two questions,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14you're through to the final, 2-0. Brilliant.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Unlucky, Matthew and Alice.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Not great questions for you, but glad you came this far,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20although you have just lost all sympathy
0:34:20 > 0:34:23by revealing you weren't born in 1988, so...
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Um, now that bottom one, Greg -
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I got this, very pleased with myself...
0:34:29 > 0:34:30It wasn't David Jack, was it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It was David Jack - absolutely right.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34A pointless answer, as well.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You know what? No point risking it,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Lawrie Sanchez was a terrific answer.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42There you go. That was before they were born, and they got it -
0:34:42 > 0:34:43it can be done.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46DD, you were right, Matthew - Didier Drogba.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Would've scored 24 points - fewer than Michael Owen,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51but wouldn't have won you the point.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52And TB?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Trevor Brooking.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56That would've scored 20.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:01 > 0:35:02I'm afraid it's Matthew and Alice.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Two perfectly correct answers, this round.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07They were just tougher for you, I think.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09They didn't fall particularly well.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11But you performed so well throughout the whole show
0:35:11 > 0:35:14and you've been our low scorers up to this round.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Very well done, I'm sorry we have to say goodbye.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18But thanks very much for playing - Matthew and Alice.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23For Gary and Greg, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Congratulations, Gary and Greg.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You've fought off all the competition
0:35:33 > 0:35:35and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Very well done indeed.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47and today, our jackpot stands at ?1,000.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49You have done so well.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Gary, we've had some really very impressive answering from you,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and from you, Greg. Thank you.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57You knew that pointless answer, David Jack,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59and you might've gone for that.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Not in the head-to-head - too chancy.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05You start this round off, as always, by choosing a category.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07You have four options - they are...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's either Test Match Captains or Tom Cruise.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Tom Cruise will be films.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Test matches, both of us... Both of us.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24And I know way back.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Yeah. Yeah.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28We'll have a bash at Test Match Captains, please.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Test Match Captains it is. OK - Richard?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Yeah, good luck - I'm going to give you three categories now.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Take any of your answers from any of these.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37We're looking for...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Any man who's captained any of those test teams
0:36:49 > 0:36:51in an official test in the last 20 years.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Very, very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57OK. As always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00All you need to win that jackpot of ?1,000
0:37:00 > 0:37:02is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Your answers can come from any of these categories -
0:37:04 > 0:37:06they can all come from one category, one from each,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08two from one, one from another.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11It's up to you. Are you ready? Yeah. As ready as we'll ever be.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16There they are - your time starts now.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19India, em...Gambhir?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Gambhir, yeah. There's one. What's his first name?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24We've got to have his first name, haven't we? Gautam Gambhir?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Let's try and think of the others as well.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29South Africa. Imran Khan, of course. Yeah.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Azharuddin, Mohammad Azharuddin.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Francis de Villiers? Yeah.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Um...Graeme, obviously, now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Who's filled in for him?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40He's been there for a while, hasn't he?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43When Donald was bowling, who was his captain?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Shaun Pollock's been captain. He has. Oh, Graeme Pollock.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49No, he's back in the '60s, before they... Oh, yeah.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I'm thinking of Shaun Pollock, Peter Pollock.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Shaun Pollock's done it. Shaun Pollock might be a good one.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Francis de Villiers might be a good one.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57OK, both South Africans.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01India, you've got Gambhir, Azharuddin...
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Rahul Dravid's done it.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Mohammad Azharuddin.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Ten seconds left.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I reckon Azharuddin. We'll go Azharuddin,
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Francis de Villiers and Shaun Pollock.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yeah, two South African and one India.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Yeah, we'll have a go at that. Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17OK, that's your time up.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19I need your three answers - what are you going to give me?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22For the test match captains for India, Mohammad Azharuddin.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Mohammad Azharuddin.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26And then we're going to go two for the captains of South Africa -
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Francis de Villiers. Francis de Villiers.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30And Shaun Pollock. And Shaun Pollock, OK.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Of those three,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37He might have not been in the last 20 years.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I'd have said De Villiers, best chance. OK.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Francis de Villiers, we'll put last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Shaun Pollock. We'll put that first.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Here they are. We've got...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Shaun Pollock.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57If this is correct and it's pointless,
0:38:57 > 0:38:59you'll leave here with ?1,000.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Gary, what would you do with that?
0:39:01 > 0:39:06Em...it'd be a weekend away somewhere with my lovely wife,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Greg's daughter - probably just London or something like that.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11We haven't been away for a while, so...
0:39:11 > 0:39:13OK. Greg, how about you?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15My wife and I are saving up like mad
0:39:15 > 0:39:18for a motor home holiday in New Zealand.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22So this would go towards it, so that's great. Good.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Three good answers on the board.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Let's hope one of those is pointless for you
0:39:25 > 0:39:27and wins that jackpot - best of luck.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Let's find out, for ?1,000,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32has Shaun Pollock been a test captain of South Africa
0:39:32 > 0:39:34in the last 20 years?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Yes, he has. Well, as we've discussed,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43you'll leave with ?1,000.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Shaun Pollock, taking us down through the teens,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47into single figures, down it goes...
0:39:47 > 0:39:484 - great answer.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Yet another single figure score from the Gary/Greg partnership.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Fantastic answer, sadly not a pointless answer.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Your second answer was Mohammad Azharuddin.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Let's find out - if it's correct and it's pointless,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07it'll win you that jackpot for ?1,000.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Has Mohammad Azharuddin been the captain of an Indian test side
0:40:10 > 0:40:12in the last 20 years?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Yes, he has.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Now, Shaun Pollock, your first answer,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20took us down to 4.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Mohammad Azharuddin, now taking us down through the twenties,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25through the teens, into single figures.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Down it goes, still going down...
0:40:27 > 0:40:291 - this is very good indeed. Very well done.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36GREG EXHALES
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Yet another fantastic low score from you.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Sadly, not pointless.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Francis de Villiers.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50OK. Let's find out, for ?1,000, has Francis de Villiers captained
0:40:50 > 0:40:53a South African test side in the last 20 years?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Best of luck, Gary and Greg.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00No! Bad luck!
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Bad luck.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Two brilliant answers there.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You came so close, tantalisingly close,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18but didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:18 > 0:41:20which means you don't win today's jackpot of ?1,000.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22That will roll over.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25We really enjoyed having you on and you have been fantastic.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27And you get to take home a Pointless trophy,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29so it wasn't all in vain. No.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Oh, that was harsh. What a cracking team, though.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39You come across more as father and son
0:41:39 > 0:41:41than father-in-law and son-in-law.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42A great team together.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I think you were thinking of AB de Villiers,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48but he's only been a one-day captain, hasn't been a test captain anyway,
0:41:48 > 0:41:49so not too bad.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52There are going to be answers up here you really know -
0:41:52 > 0:41:53I'll warn you in advance.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Pakistan is where most of them are.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56We'll take a look first at India.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59There's only one pointless answer for India and that's Anil Kumble.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Very well done if you said that at home.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04For Pakistan, there's a few more.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You could've had Moin Khan, Salim Malik,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Salman Butt, Younis Khan -
0:42:08 > 0:42:10you could also have had Mohammad Hafeez,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Mohammad Yousuf, Rameez Raja.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15You could've had Rashid Latif.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18You could've has had Saeed Anwar - he would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Shoaib Malik, as well, he was a pointless answer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22And South Africa, you'll know a few of these as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Those are all the pointless answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I hope there's not too many there that were lodged in the back...
0:42:33 > 0:42:37We knew loads of those. I know you did.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39It's so hard when you've only got 60 seconds, it really is.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Everyone at home's got a bit longer than you.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44You played terrifically throughout, so congratulations.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Been great. It's been good fun. Thank you.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Gary and Greg.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52We've loved having you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Brilliant, brilliant contestants - Gary and Greg.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Sadly, Gary and Greg didn't win our jackpot,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04where we'll be playing for ?2,000.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Join us next time to see if someone wins it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13..and goodbye from me - goodbye.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Hidden beneath your feet are magical worlds,
0:43:50 > 0:43:53home to extraordinary little creatures.
