0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the aim is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30To do that, you need to come up with
0:00:30 > 0:00:32the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Alan. This is my friend, Scott,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and we're from Lanarkshire in Scotland.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number two.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Georgia, I'm from the Wirral,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and this is my flatmate, Laura, from Bury.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Dave and this is Louisa, and we're friends from Oxford.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm David, and this is my friend Ciaran,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we're from Milton Keynes.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07A man so clever, it feels like
0:01:07 > 0:01:10he's sailing around your brain in a miniaturised submarine.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And if that sounds like the plot to the 1960s film
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Fantastic Voyage, then it definitely isn't.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16it's my pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya! APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I think if there's anyone in the world less suited
0:01:24 > 0:01:26to being in a miniaturised submarine, it's me.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27It is, probably. Yeah!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- I think I'd find that claustrophobic, if I'm honest with you. - I think you might!
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34That's good. A lovely show last time.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36We've given away the jackpot a lot recently, and we very nearly
0:01:36 > 0:01:39gave it away last time, didn't we, with lovely Greg and Gary.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We've got two pairs back from that show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Laura and Georgia, who played very, very well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I think they're going to do well today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46We've also got Scott and Alan back,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50who we need to see a little bit more of, I think. Don't we, gents?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Thanks very much. All our questions on Pointless
0:01:52 > 0:01:54have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Our contestants need to find
0:01:55 > 0:01:57the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So, Gary and Greg didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20APPLAUSE
0:02:22 > 0:02:25OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27but there is to be no conferring between the pairs.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I should say, no conferring WITHIN the pairs.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33At the end of the round, whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK, our first category today
0:02:35 > 0:02:37is Geography.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Geography. Can you all decide in
0:02:38 > 0:02:40your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK, and the question concerns
0:02:49 > 0:02:51capital cities and their rivers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Capital cities and their rivers. Richard.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56On each pass, we're going to show you the names of seven rivers.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We just need you to tell us the capital city that each river flows through.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, so best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05OK, so we are looking for the capital cities through which
0:03:05 > 0:03:09these rivers flow, and here's our first board of seven rivers.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'll read those one last time.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Now then, Scott and Alan, you all drew lots before the show,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31and today, you are going to go first.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Now, remind us what you do, Scott.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'm a PE teacher by trade, if you like,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39but I'm currently working for a qualifications awarding body.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43So I'm seconded out, which involves working with schools
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and teachers, preparing for new qualifications, basically.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- OK, and how's your geography, do you think?- Erm...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- This kind of geography. - This kind of geography...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I've got to be honest, I'm not sure I know many of those.- Likewise!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Likewise! I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- The River Seine, I think, is it?- Mmm-hmm.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm going to go for Vienna.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Vienna, for the Seine. OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Vienna for the Seine. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, bad luck, Scott.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Bad luck. I'm afraid not Vienna.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19That scores you 100 points. Sorry.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Sorry, Scott. It's the perfect PE teacher's answer, though. So...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- LAUGHTER - That's it!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Thanks very much, Richard. Laura, welcome back.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Now, remind us what you do, Laura. - I am a student.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- You have just finished. - Yep, just finished.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- And about to go off and work in America?- Yep, that's right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- How long's that going to be for? - Er...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Three-and-a-half months.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- OK.- So, yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Have you done a lot of travelling in your time, Laura?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Er, a bit, but I don't think I took very much notice of the rivers.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I don't really know any.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52The only one I recognise is the bottom one,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55and I'm not even sure that the answer I think it is is right,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57but I'm going to go with Paris.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK, Paris, says Laura. Paris, for the Seine.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Let's see if that's right,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and if it is, let's see how many people said Paris.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07It is right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:0984 for the Seine.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11APPLAUSE
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Well...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15it's 16 better than it looks like everyone else is going to score!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18LAUGHTER I have to say, it is a very tough board.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19There's a couple on there
0:05:19 > 0:05:21that I think lots of people are going to know,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23but that is a tough board to start off with.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Now then, Dave, welcome to Point...I'm sorry we're
0:05:26 > 0:05:29welcoming you with this, but baptism by fire and all that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31But Dave, what do you do?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm a proofreader for a mystery shopping company.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I...- Whoa!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- There's two things there! - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Very different two things.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40OK, proofreader.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Let's deal with the second thing first, the mystery shopping thing.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- That's right.- What happens there?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well, I don't actually do the mystery shopping.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48You send out your agents!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52We have a team of skilled assessors...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I thought you were going to say assassins there!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- LAUGHTER - But, yeah, OK.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Skilled ASSESSORS, and they wear heavy disguise.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- That's right, moustaches, hats. - They really do? Genuinely do?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- No, I'm afraid not.- What a shame. - Sorry to ruin the myth.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08No. And so they go off in a mysterious way, and er...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And it's generally customer service they assess,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and then they fill in reports and I proofread them.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14OK, good.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Now, please tell me you've travelled a lot
0:06:16 > 0:06:18around Europe's capital cities.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- HE SIGHS - Not overly.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Like I said, it's a very tough board, I think.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24But I do have an answer,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27and I'm going to go with the Liffey,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29which is Dublin.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Dublin, says Dave, for the Liffey. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Dublin.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Well, 100's our high, 84's our low. You've passed both of those.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Oh, down it goes. 52. Very well done.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43APPLAUSE
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- 52 for The Liffey. - Well played, Dave.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- That's the two everyone knows out of the way, anyway!- Yep!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It rises in the Wicklow Mountains, about 20 miles south-west of Dublin.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Thanks very much. Now, David, welcome to the show.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Now, what do you do?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I work in a governance and assurance department in the company
0:07:03 > 0:07:07that owns the country's rail network.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Wow! - HE LAUGHS
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Wow! Them! That lot!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And what do you do there?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I work in the governance and assurance firm,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19and it's basically making sure the organisation's running smoothly.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Very good. Do you send mystery people out to test...?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24It's very glamorous(!)
0:07:24 > 0:07:27No, it's not like the MI5 or anything like that, I'm afraid.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Ooh, you know what that means!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Yeah, yeah. - That means he works for MI5.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33LAUGHTER I knew it!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, if you were a proper spy, you would have to be
0:07:36 > 0:07:39terrible at this round, just to put people off the scent.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41So, fill your boots.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43On that note, I'm going
0:07:43 > 0:07:45to pretend that I know absolutely nothing about this.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47OK, do you want to take us through the board?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Kifissos sounds Greek, so I would say Athens for that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Spree, not really an idea on that one, or Vistula or Barada.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- So, with Vantaa, I'm going to guess and say Helsinki.- Helsinki,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03You're going to say it for Vantaa. Helsinki.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10It's only right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Very good.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Down it goes, way past all our other answers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20One, it scores you, David.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30That's a brilliant answer, David. Very well played.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Kifissos, your guess was right there as well. It was Athens.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Would've scored you 21 points. Vantaa was a much better answer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It is a really difficult board. The Spree. Do you know the Spree?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's somewhere in Germany, is it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45If it's in Germany... These are all capital cities.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Capitals, right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- They're all capitals, in which case I'll go for Berlin.- You're right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Would've scored you 13 points. The Vistula.- Is that...
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Oh!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- I don't know, I don't know.- Warsaw.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59That would've scored you four points.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02And the Barada is in Damascus.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And Damascus would've scored you two points,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07so very well done if you said that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Actually, Helsinki is the best answer on the board,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12even better than Damascus. That was a tricky board.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Anyone that got all seven of those, caps doffed to you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Not much at the bottom end of the score table, apart from one.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Fantastic score from David there.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Then we go up to 52, where we find Dave and Louisa.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Up to 84, where Laura and Georgia are to be found,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and then not too far ahead of them are Scott and Alan.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'd say there is still everything to play for, Alan.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Don't give up hope yet.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Let's hope the next board's easier than that one.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41We're going to go back down the line now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46OK.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50We're going to put seven more rivers on the board, and here they are.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51We have...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now remember, we are
0:10:09 > 0:10:12looking for capital cities through which these rivers flow,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and Ciaran, obviously you need to find the lowest scoring one
0:10:15 > 0:10:17you think you know the answer to. What do you do, Ciaran?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I'm a business consultant for a very large technology company.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23And how do you and David know each other?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We know each other from college and university,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and we kind of followed each other throughout our life once we met.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- So you've known each other a long, long time.- That is such a line.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- You know exactly where they know each other from.- Just play along.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37They're a unit, aren't they?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Sure.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41One's the front man, the other's the killer. That's the way they do it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42LAUGHTER
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Now, Ciaran, if you can score 98 or less,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48you're through automatically to the next round.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I feel like being somewhat evil because David's given me
0:10:51 > 0:10:59the freedom to do that, so I'm going to say London and Thames.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Oh, nice. Kicking away that ladder there. Yeah, that's...
0:11:03 > 0:11:04LAUGHTER
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Oh, that sure is nice, Ciaran(!)
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well, there you are, on one.
0:11:09 > 0:11:1298 or less is what you have to score. Do you think...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Yeah, I reckon you can just about get away with that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17There's your red line.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20If you get below that red line, you're in round two. Let's find out.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23London, Thames. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It's r... Ooh-ee! Look at that. 95.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Perfectly judged.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Takes your total up to 96.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Ciaran, you're a disgrace.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I kind of admire it, though. I kind of admire it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- I wouldn't want to be the other three now, would you?- No. No.- Yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Now, Louisa.- Hi.- Welcome.- Thank you. - What do you do, Louisa?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I'm an editor for a publishing company.- In Oxford?- In Oxford, yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52What sort of publishing company?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- It's books I work on, and it's Earth and planetary science.- Right.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Well, you're on 52.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- If you can score 47 or less, you're definitely in the next round.- Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Amstel is a type of beer, and they like beer in Belgium,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10so I'm going to say Brussels and Amstel.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You're like Hercule Poirot.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13SHE LAUGHS
0:12:13 > 0:12:17"They like beer in...
0:12:17 > 0:12:21"Hmm. Belgium. So we're going to say Brussels."
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Let's see if that works.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26OK, Brussels. Is the Amstel in Brussels?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27There's your red line.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Bad luck, I'm afraid. It's not in Brussels.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38That scores you the maximum of 100 points. That is a lifeline to Alan.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42152 is your total, Louisa.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yeah, you're like Hercule Poirot's brother, Steve Poirot.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- The Zenne flows through Brussels. - Oh, OK.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Now, Georgia, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Remind us what you do, Georgia. - I'm a student.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I also recently finished my exams, waiting for graduation.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Just graduated.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- And what did you read again?- Politics.- Politics.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Would you be looking for any career in politics,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- or are you now going to run...- No, I do not want to be a politician.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Run away from politics. OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Good stuff. Well, best of luck. You're on 84.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14The high scorers are Louisa and Dave on 152,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16so 67 or less gets you into the next round.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18I know.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24There's not really any clues. Vltava sounds Slavic, so...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I can't remember the...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm going to go for Vltava and Turin.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Turin?- Yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Vltava and Turin. There is your red line.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40If you get below it, you are through.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Let's see if Turin in right for Vltava.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47No.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Bad luck, Georgia, I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you
0:13:49 > 0:13:51the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Oh, even more of a sigh of relief coming from Alan there.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- 184, your total.- It's going very well, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Isn't it, though?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Turin is in Italy and it's not the capital either,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and the Vltava doesn't run through it. But what are you going to do?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- What are you going to do? Alan?- Yes?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Alan, of course you have...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11What the others don't realise is,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14you spend your time canoeing on the rivers
0:14:14 > 0:14:17of the world, particularly the rivers of the capitals of the world.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think the only river I've been in is River Clyde in Glasgow,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21so I was hoping that would come up.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24But there was one that I definitely knew, and it's gone.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I don't know if I'm being...
0:14:25 > 0:14:27If this is just too straightforward,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30but Amstel would be from Amsterdam.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, you're going to say Amsterdam for the Amstel.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Let's see if that's right.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Amsterdam.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37There is your red line.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Get below that, you're in round two.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43It's right!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47And you're through to round two. Very well done, Alan.
0:14:47 > 0:14:4842 for Amsterdam.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50142, your total.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Through you go.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Not our lowest scoring round ever, that one.- It was not, was it?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00But well done. Amstel is well worked out.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Amsterdam's named after the Amstel River, of course.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04The dam across the Amstel.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07The other one that a lot of people at home, I suspect, will get
0:15:07 > 0:15:08is the Tiber, which is Rome.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Would have scored you 38 points.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Now...there's some harder ones here.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18The Molonglo is the river that flows through Canberra in Australia.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20And it was a pointless answer,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22so very, very well done if you said it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The Rimac flows through the capital of Peru, which is Lima,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27would have scored you 2 points.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- The Vltava... Do you know that one? - Is that Prague?- It is Prague, yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Would have scored 4 points. And the Han?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's in South Korea, it flows through Seoul,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41would've scored you 3 points. So, Canberra the best answer there.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, hard. Really difficult, that one.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46So at the end of our first round,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm sorry to say it's Georgia and Laura,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50one of our two returning pairs.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That was a really, really tough board.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I'm sorry, but anyway, there we are.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It's been lovely having you on both shows
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and I'm sorry we're saying goodbye to you so soon,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00but thanks very much for playing, Georgia and Laura.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02APPLAUSE
0:16:02 > 0:16:07But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10And so now we're down to three pairs
0:16:10 > 0:16:12and, obviously, at the end of this round
0:16:12 > 0:16:14we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Well, Scott and Alan, you made it through.- Just.- You did it!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Very well done, the Amstel.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23David and Ciaran, you're the lowest-scoring pair,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26even with your 95-scorer there, Ciaran, London Thames.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Our category for Round Two is awards. Awards.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Can you all decide in your pairs
0:16:32 > 0:16:35who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:16:44 > 0:16:46to name as many films
0:16:46 > 0:16:50which received BAFTA nominations in 2013 as they could.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53BAFTA nominated films from 2013, Richard.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We're looking for the name of any full-length feature film
0:16:56 > 0:16:58which received a nomination in any category
0:16:58 > 0:16:59in the BAFTAs in 2013, please.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03So could be Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Film, any of those things.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04So any film that received a nomination
0:17:04 > 0:17:07in any of those categories. Very, very best of luck.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Thanks very much indeed. Now, Alan.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Alan, are you a film-watcher, a cinema-goer?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Erm, I watch films quite a bit,
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- but more sort of older films than the recent stuff.- OK.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25I have watched a few. I think I'll go for Django Unchained.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Django Unchained says Alan. Django Unchained.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34It is right.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Good answer, Alan. Look at that, still going down. Look at that! 5.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Well played, Alan.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well played, Alan, you're on a roll now.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Actually won two BAFTAs as well, won Screenplay for Quentin Tarantino
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and Best Supporting Actor, Christoph Waltz.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Thanks very much indeed. Now, Louisa,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01how are we feeling about this?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- A lot better than the last round. - Good.- Definitely a lot better.- Good.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I'm pretty sure that the award for this one
0:18:07 > 0:18:09was for Best Leading Actress
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and I think it was Silver Linings Playbook.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Silver Linings Playbook says Louisa. Let's see if that's right,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and, if it is, let's see how many people said Silver Linings Playbook.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Absolutely right.
0:18:21 > 0:18:245, our nice low score at the moment.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Oh, you beat that - down to 1!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- What about that? - APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:331 for Silver Linings Playbook.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Good answer.- Well played, Louisa.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yes, it won a BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay
0:18:38 > 0:18:42and nominations in Best Leading Actor and Best Leading Actress.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Thanks very much, Richard. Now, David.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Well, films is probably one of the, erm...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49One of my weaknesses, I would say.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54So I'm just going to throw out there and say Avengers Assemble.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Avengers Assemble, says David. Let's see if that's right
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Avengers Assemble.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04It's right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- And it's pointless! Look at that! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Very well done indeed, David.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20takes the total up to £2,250.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24It scores you absolutely nothing. Very well done indeed.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- What a performance. - Yeah, not bad at all.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Do you know what it was nominated for?- Haven't a clue.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It only had one nomination
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and that was for special effects, essentially.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35But it got nominated.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37There we go. Well, thanks very much.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43David and Ciaran once again looking very strong indeed
0:19:43 > 0:19:45on the back of that fantastic low score there from David.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Up to 1, where we find Louisa and Dave, then up to 5,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50where we find Alan and Scott, really very, very close indeed.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Good low scoring all round. But, Scott, you are ahead.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57This time the onus is on you to see if you can dig Alan out of that.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- OK, now, Ciaran...- Yes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Ciaran, what about that?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12David keeps setting the bar very, very...I'm going to say high -
0:20:12 > 0:20:13or low, I'm not quite sure. But anyway,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16he's setting it somewhere that's quite hard to follow.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18He's making my life easier, but not really in this round
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- because everyone else has done pretty well as well.- Yeah.- Erm...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I'm going to put something out there which is a bit of a gamble.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I know it had nominations in the Oscars...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I'm hoping they did it for BAFTA as well.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So I'm going to go with Amour.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Amour, says Ciaran.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Amour. Well, here is your red line. Very low.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I wonder if Amour can get you below that red line.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Let's see. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48It's absolutely right.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Very well done indeed, Ciaran! - APPLAUSE
0:20:58 > 0:21:011 for Amour. That's a great answer.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Fabulous low total of 1.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Well played, Ciaran. It was nominated for four BAFTAs and it won two.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10It won Best Film Not In The English Language and Best Actress as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Thanks very much indeed. Now, Dave.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Dave, the scoring has been very, very low so far.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Are you confident that you can stay low?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I have a few answers to choose from,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25whether they're low or not, we'll see.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28But, yeah, it's been very impressive so far.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- So I'm going to go with Life Of Pi. - Life Of Pi, says Dave.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Life Of Pi.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Well, you want to be scoring three or less
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's see if Life Of Pi can do that or you -
0:21:40 > 0:21:42there's your red line.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Well, it's right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:5115 for Life Of Pi.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54APPLAUSE
0:21:54 > 0:21:5616, your total.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00One of the most nominated of all at the BAFTAs,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02nine nominations for Life Of Pi, won two awards.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- That's a great film as well, isn't it?- Very good. Now, Scott.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Yes.- Scott, you now have a target, and it's 10.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You want to score 10 or less.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13I've been trying to rack my brains
0:22:13 > 0:22:16while the other contestants have been going,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18cos I went to see Django and really enjoyed that,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21so that was one of the ones, and Life Of Pi, I can remember that,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25but...kind of struggling to be honest with you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think it was last year,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I don't know if it got nominated this year,
0:22:30 > 0:22:31but I need to go for it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Sorry, Alan.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Bridesmaids.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Bridesmaids, says Scott. Bridesmaids.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well, you're on five. The high scorers are Dave and Louisa.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44You want to score 10 or less with Bridesmaids, there's your red line.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Is it right though? Let's find out.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51No! Bad luck, Scott.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I'm afraid, as you probably guessed, that was an incorrect answer,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58105 your total. Sorry.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Sorry, Scott. You were right, it was the previous year.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It was actually nominated the previous year.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07On last year's show, it would have been a terrific answer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08LAUGHTER
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There's quite a few of them.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13All of these films were nominated.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Anna Karenina was nominated.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Brave, the animated film.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Marley, the documentary about Bob Marley.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21There's Avengers Assemble.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Moonrise Kingdom, the Wes Anderson film,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24would have been a pointless answer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Another documentary there - Searching for Sugarman.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Snow White and the Huntsman was a pointless answer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32The Dark Knight Rises, also a pointless answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And The Master, that was a pointless answer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35A few others you could have had.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Beasts of the Southern Wild,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39which was also nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You could have had Great Expectations,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Seven Psychopaths, all of those pointless.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Well done if you said any of those.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48We'll look at the ones that most of our 100 people said, though.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50These are the most well-known.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Lincoln would have scored you 29.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Skyfall would have scored you 36.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And also on 36, Les Miserables.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02At the end of that round, I'm afraid it's Scott and Alan
0:24:02 > 0:24:04we have to say goodbye to.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06You've done twice as well as you did last time.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08It was Round One. I'm afraid it's been Round Two this time.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Did you know some of those, Scott?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Brave, should have really remembered that one.- Skyfall!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Skyfall, I thought that would be high,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17so I was just going for a gamble with Bridesmaids.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It's been great fun having you on the show.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Scott and Alan!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25APPLAUSE
0:24:25 > 0:24:28But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Congratulations, David and Ciaran, Louisa and Dave.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:24:38 > 0:24:41play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:24:42 > 0:24:44AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48We need to decide who will go through to the
0:24:48 > 0:24:50final and play for that money, and to do that,
0:24:50 > 0:24:51you will now go head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The big difference is you can confer before you give your answers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Football Club Badges. Richard.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We'll show you five photos now of English league teams' badges.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We have removed the lettering that tell you the name of the team,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20cos we're not idiots.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22LAUGHTER
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But, can you work out which badges fit which team, please? Good luck.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Let's reveal our five badges and here they are. We have got...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51There we are, five football club badges.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Now, David and Ciaran, you have played best throughout the show
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so far, so you get to go first.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- WHISPERING:- A is Southampton.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I think B might be Blackpool,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03but I'm fairly certain that
0:26:03 > 0:26:04C, Swindon is going to be...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I think C is Swindon Town.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15C, Swindon Town,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18say David and Ciaran.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19C, Swindon Town.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Now, Louisa and Dave, the rest of the board is yours.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Do you want to talk us through it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I've got such a strong feeling that B...
0:26:28 > 0:26:29..is Burnley.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35And I think we're going to try and compete,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37so we're going to go B - Burnley.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38B - Burnley.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40So, we have C - Swindon Town,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42B - Burnley.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Now, David and Ciaran have said that C is Swindon Town.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49let's see how many people said Swindon Town.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's absolutely right.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Down it goes!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Seven, very well done indeed!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04That's a very solid score.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08But Louisa and Dave have said
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Burnley for B. Burnley.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see if it will beat seven.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Bad luck!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Not Burnley, I'm afraid, which means, David and Ciaran,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25after one question, you are up 1-0. Very well done.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Yeah, very well played. The clue to B is in the colours.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31David and Ciaran, do you know that one?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Barnet?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33- Blackpool.- OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Would have scored you one point.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's easier when you've got the letters.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- LAUGHTER - I can see now.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Southampton, that would have scored you 20 points.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44D is Arsenal.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Would have scored you 78 points.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49And E is Leeds United,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51would have scored you 32.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Louisa and Dave, you get to answer this first,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59It concerns...
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Hymns. Richard.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We're going to show you five clues now to facts about hymns.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Can you give us the most obscure answer.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13We have got...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57There we are. Five clues to facts about hymns.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Louisa and Dave, you go first.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- WHISPERING:- I know three. - I only know the middle one.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07The most obscure one is Abide With Me,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- which is the FA Cup one. - Is that obscure?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12It's the most obscure, because the other one's Amazing Grace
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- and the other one is Songs of Praise.- OK.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17I'm going to try and redeem myself with football
0:29:17 > 0:29:19and go with the hymn traditionally
0:29:19 > 0:29:21sung at the FA Cup final before kick-off as
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Abide With Me.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Abide With Me, say Louisa and Dave.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Now, David and Ciaran, can you talk us through
0:29:27 > 0:29:28the rest of the board?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Um...
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Probably not.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- You think you know the top one, don't you?- Maybe, yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Go on, put it out there.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40The Lord Is Our Shepherd, or something similar, I'm not really...
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Number two is...
0:29:43 > 0:29:45..Songs of Praise, right?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47And number three is...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Don't know.- Amazing Grace?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53The last one, absolutely no idea.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I think The Vicar of Dibley is probably the best shot?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Go on, then.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00What was your answer for that?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02What was our answer for that?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05The Lord Is Our Shepherd. Is that correct? Yeah. OK, yeah.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- The Lord Is Our Shepherd?- Yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11OK, so, we have Abide With Me
0:30:11 > 0:30:13versus the Lord is Our Shepherd.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Louisa and Dave have gone with Abide With Me.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Let's see if that's right.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21It's absolutely right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Abide With Me takes you down to 32.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:33David and Ciaran, you've gone out on a bit of a limb,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36had a bit of a punt here and said The Lord Is Our Shepherd.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38The theme tune to The Vicar of Dibley.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Let's see if that's right, if it is, let's see how many people
0:30:41 > 0:30:43said The Lord Is Our Shepherd.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Oh, bad luck, bad luck.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50But, Louisa and Dave, you have won that question, which means,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52after two questions, it's one-all.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Very well done.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, the right idea, but it's very famously
0:30:55 > 0:30:57The Lord Is My Shepherd, I'm afraid.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Sorry about that, guys.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Funnily enough, if you'd said it, would have scored you 17 points,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05so would have seen you through, if you'd given us the correct title.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07You'd also have got through if you'd said Amazing Grace.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Because it would have scored you 24 points.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13The BBC religious programme was Songs of Praise,
0:31:13 > 0:31:14would have scored too many points.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Would have scored 71.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18And All Creatures Great and Small at the bottom.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Another fairly big scorer with 35.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22So, best answer on the board was The Lord Is My Shepherd.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24So, very well done if you said that.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Thanks very much. Here comes your third question.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:29 > 0:31:30and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32And it concerns...
0:31:35 > 0:31:37American Works of Literature. Richard.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40We're going to show you the initials now of five plays or novels
0:31:40 > 0:31:41and the name of the author next to them.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Can you tell us the name of the play or novel, please? Very best of luck.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48OK, let's reveal our five plays or novels, and here they are.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50We have got...
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21There we are. Five works of American literature.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23David and Ciaran, you go first.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- WHISPERING:- Do you know any of them? - No, do you?- No.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31The Golden Goose?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- John Steinbeck is Of Mice and Men.- What?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38We're going to have to fail miserably, I think
0:32:38 > 0:32:42and go for the obvious answer
0:32:42 > 0:32:45of John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Of Mice and Men, say David and Ciaran.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Now, Louisa and Dave, the rest of the board is yours.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Do you want to take us through it?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Embarrassingly, given that we're both literature students,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56we actually only know three.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I'm a big Stephen King fan,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and it's really annoying me that I can't think what that one is.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02- It's got a Z in it!- I know.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04The bottom one's The Great Gatsby.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06We think that one will score quite high.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08So, we're going to go for
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Sylvia Plath, and The Bell Jar.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13OK, The Bell Jar, say Louisa and Dave.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15So, we have Of Mice and Men versus The Bell Jar.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17David and Ciaran, Of Mice and Men.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Let's see how many that scored.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Of Mice and Men, 29.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30APPLAUSE
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Louisa and Dave have gone with The Bell Jar.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Let's see if that's right,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38and how many people said The Bell Jar.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Well, it's right.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Has to beat 29.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Which it does! Very well done.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Seven.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50APPLAUSE
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Seven for The Bell Jar. Very well done.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Louisa and Dave, after three questions,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Well played. I think, with an English Literature degree,
0:34:00 > 0:34:01you're allowed to just get
0:34:01 > 0:34:03the bottom three. The top one is
0:34:03 > 0:34:06a pointless answer. It's a play, and it's
0:34:06 > 0:34:07A Raisin in the Sun.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Came out in the late '50s.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12A pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Now, this Stephen King book.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's The Dead Zone.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Oh, I would have said that!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18LAUGHTER
0:34:18 > 0:34:19That would have scored you 23 points.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21So, The Bell Jar a much better answer.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23And, of course, The Great Gatsby
0:34:23 > 0:34:25at the bottom there. 32.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Thanks very much. The pair leaving us at the end of
0:34:27 > 0:34:30the head-to-head round, David and Ciaran.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Well, it's been a fantastic head-to-head round
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and you've done very well in it,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37but they weren't really your
0:34:37 > 0:34:39strong suits, were they, those ones?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Not really.- Afraid not.- But, still.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43The good news is, we'll see you again next time.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45We'll look forward to that. But, in the meantime,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48thanks very much for playing. Thanks.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50APPLAUSE
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But, for Louisa and Dave, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Congratulations, Louisa and Dave. You fought off all the competition
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03So, very well done.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You now have a chance to win our jackpot.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:15 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Wow. Well, cast your mind back to Round One
0:35:21 > 0:35:25when we had the Amstel running through Belgium.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Right in the middle of Brussels, there.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Did you ever think you were going to end up here?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- No!- No.- Even before that, I didn't think we would.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- It's been ups and downs. - A roller coaster.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Music?- Music.- TV? Film.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yeah, that kind of thing.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Well, best of luck. As always, you kick this round off
0:35:44 > 0:35:47by choosing a category and you have four options to choose from.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48And they are...
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Scottish Pop Culture. - Do you think? Do you know any?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- Yeah, let's go for that.- Yeah.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We're going to go with Scottish Pop Culture.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04OK. Scottish Pop Culture. Richard.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07We're going to give you three quite different categories here.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Hopefully one of these will suit you. We are looking for any winner
0:36:10 > 0:36:13of any Edinburgh comedy award.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15That's from 1981 up to 2012. It used to be the Perrier Award.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's been various other things as well.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19But anyone who's won that award or the Best Newcomer Award
0:36:19 > 0:36:21at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25We're looking for any tracks on Emeli Sande's debut album.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27It was the biggest selling album of last year.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32Or we are looking for any named cast member in the film Trainspotting.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35So any Edinburgh comedy award winner, any tracks on the Emeli Sande
0:36:35 > 0:36:39debut album, or any cast member of the film Trainspotting.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Very best of luck.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45As always you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49To win the jackpot of £2,250 you just have to find one pointless answer.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54It is up to you how you spread them.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56It could be all three from one category, one from each,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58two from one, one from another. It's entirely up to you.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07My initial thought is cast of the film of Trainspotting.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- I think it's going to be the best one.- I think so.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13The only songs I know from Emeli Sande's album are going to be
0:37:13 > 0:37:15the hits.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- I don't know any of her...- I don't know that album either.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20I don't think we can pull off a comedy award winner either
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- so we'll go with that. Who have we got? We've got Robert Carlyle. - Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Ewan McGregor.- Yeah. I'm just trying to remember who's in it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I can't believe those might be the only two I can remember.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Just have a minute to think about it.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Do you know who any of the females are who were in it?
0:37:34 > 0:37:38I haven't seen it for such a long time.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I think I might gamble.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Just make sure we have another answer and go with an Edinburgh comedy award winner.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Do you think? Do you think we want to go with those two for the Trainspotting,
0:37:49 > 0:37:51because they are quite well-known?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I can't think of any. I can think of one.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Ten seconds left.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59That went fast. OK, can you think of any Edinburgh comedy award winners?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- No.- No.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Any comedy person who might have been?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:08 > 0:38:15We're going to go with two on the cast of the film Trainspotting.
0:38:15 > 0:38:21Those two answers will be the well-known actors Ewan McGregor
0:38:21 > 0:38:22and Robert Carlyle.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28And we're going to gamble and go with an Edinburgh
0:38:28 > 0:38:32comedy award winner as Tim Vine.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Tim Vine. Tim Vine.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38We have Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Tim Vine.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Of those three which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I think Tim Vine, easily. - OK. Tim Vine we'll put last.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Least likely would be Ewan McGregor. - Ewan McGregor we'll put first.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Very best of luck. That was quite a tough board.- It was.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Your first answer was Ewan McGregor.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03If this is correct and is pointless you will leave here with £2,250.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Do you have any plans for what you might do with that, Dave?
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Yes.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10I'm in a band so I'd quite like to get me
0:39:10 > 0:39:12some decent recording equipment with that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- OK. Louisa?- I'd use it to go on holiday this year
0:39:15 > 0:39:16in the summer.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21OK. Ewan McGregor. Let's find out was he one of the cast in Trainspotting.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Yes, of course he was.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28That was the first thing this had to be - correct.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30The second thing is it has to be pointless.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Oh, 50.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33APPLAUSE
0:39:35 > 0:39:40It was right. This is good. 50, though. Not a pointless answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Your second answer was Robert Carlyle.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Let's find out. Again, if this is pointless it will win you that jackpot.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47For £2,250 let's find out
0:39:47 > 0:39:50if Robert Carlyle was a cast member of Trainspotting.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Yes, he also was.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Now Ewan McGregor took us down to 50.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Robert Carlyle takes us past that,
0:39:59 > 0:40:00past 40, past 30,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02still going down into the teens.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0312.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05This is more like it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08APPLAUSE
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I think to be honest you'd have been very surprised
0:40:12 > 0:40:15and probably a bit alarmed if either of those turned out to be pointless.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16It would all felt very wrong indeed.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Yes.- However you have managed to name a comedian.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Who knows if Tim Vine has won any of those
0:40:23 > 0:40:26awards at the Edinburgh Festival, but it's a good shot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28So for £2,250, let's find out
0:40:28 > 0:40:32if Tim Vine has won any of the Edinburgh comedy awards.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Yes, he has.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40So your first answer was Ewan McGregor which took you down to 50.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Your second answer, Robert Carlyle, took you down to 12.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Tim Vine, a complete shot in the dark, takes you down...
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Oh, no!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:50 > 0:40:52One person.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I am so sorry.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04At least you didn't have too long to spend that money mentally
0:41:04 > 0:41:07before being confounded. I'm really sorry.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10One person knew Tim Vine, which is more than any of us did,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12to be honest.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But it was a very good guess.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:17 > 0:41:19answer, which means you don't win today's
0:41:19 > 0:41:22jackpot of £2,250. That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26But we've really enjoyed having you on the programme. You have been fantastic.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28You do get to take home a trophy each
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- so very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Unlucky, guys. I suspect it's one of those days where there's going to be
0:41:40 > 0:41:42hundreds of pointless answers at home.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45If you know anything about any of these categories you will have
0:41:45 > 0:41:48walked this because there are some big names on all of these lists.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Let's take a little look at the Edinburgh award winners.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Frank Skinner would have won you the money.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56He won best act. These next three all won best newcomer.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57The Brilliant Milton Jones,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59the Mighty Boosh,
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Tim Minchin.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Cambridge Footlights won it.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Daniel Kitson, David O'Doherty would have been
0:42:04 > 0:42:06a pointless answer. Harry Hill would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You could have had Steve Coogan. You could have had Josie Long. Rich Hall.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12There's hundreds. Hundreds of pointless answers there.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the Emeli Sande debut album.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18If you know the album you will have got some of these.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Hope, Maybe, My Kind Of Love, which was a single as well,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23and Where I Sleep, those were the four pointless answers
0:42:23 > 0:42:25from that album.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27And every single member of the Trainspotting cast
0:42:27 > 0:42:30apart from the big five in there was pointless.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32So, Dale Winton, who plays a game show host in the film.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Irvine Welsh, the writer of Trainspotting has a role in the film.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Kevin McKidd, who plays Tommy, who is one of the gang,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40and Peter Mullan, the brilliant Peter Mullan. Lots of other people.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Keith Allen was a pointless answer. Shirley Henderson.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44All sorts of pointless answers there.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Louisa and Dave.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53It's been brilliant having you on the programme.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thank you both so much for playing. Louisa and Dave.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Sadly Louisa and Dave didn't win our jackpot today which means it
0:43:01 > 0:43:05rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £3,250.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14Goodbye.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
