0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- And couple number one. - Hello there, my name's Ciaran.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is Patrick, and we're school friends from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two? - I'm Bread and this is Tony
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and we are brothers-in-law from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number three?- Hi, I'm Abi. This is Alix, my daughter,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're from Coombe Bissett near Salisbury.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Sarah, this is my husband, Mike.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We're from Ellesmere in Shropshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56These are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05They broke the mould when they made him.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And I think we're all grateful for that.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11It's the storage, isn't it? It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hi, everyone. Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you.- And to you. - Er, it should be a good show.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We had Sarah and Paul last time, they took on Winston Churchill
0:01:22 > 0:01:25in the jackpot round, which proved a little bit too much for them.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26It was a tough one, wasn't it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We've only got one team back from that show, and that's Tony and Bread.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And we sort of got to the bottom of why Bread is called Bread.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34We waited for most of the show
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and it was a slightly disappointing answer, wasn't it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Yeah.- It was just sort of because he is.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Cos his brother was called Meat Loaf.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- So he's called Bread? Bread Loaf? - Yeah, or just Bread.- Just Bread.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46What kind of show have we got today?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49The first round I like very much, some people won't like it,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51but you can't please everyone all the time, can you?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53There we are, no, you can't, you just can't.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard. All our questions on Pointless
0:01:56 > 0:01:58have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:01 > 0:02:02those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that
0:02:04 > 0:02:07none of our 100 people gave, and each time that happens,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Sarah and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:02:12 > 0:02:16another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE
0:02:19 > 0:02:21If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, in this first round, I want an answer from each of you,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31but there is to be no conferring. Whichever pair has the highest score
0:02:31 > 0:02:33at the end of the round will be heading home.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So do what you can to ensure it's not you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Our first category today is World Champions.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42World Champions. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44who's going to go second?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59UK Sporting World Champions And Their Sports.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02We're going to show you the names of seven UK world champions.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05You just need to tell us the sport in which they've been a world champion.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, so tell us the sports in which these people
0:03:11 > 0:03:14have been world champions, and here's our first board.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'll read those one final time.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37There we are. Seven world champions, we just need their sports.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Ciaran and Patrick, you all drew lots before the show today
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- and you are going to go first. Ciaran, welcome.- Thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- From London.- Yes.- You haven't had to come far.- Not far at all.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- What do you do?- I'm a writer,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I write children's books and television.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51So what children's books do you write?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I've got some books called Genie In Training and Genie In Trouble,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57there's three about genies, and there's four about dinosaurs.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58How's your sport, Ciaran?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's not great, I'll be honest, but I do know a couple up there,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- so I think I'm going to play it safe.- What are you going to go for?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I'm going to go for Peter Ebdon and snooker.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Peter Ebdon, snooker, says Ciaran.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said snooker.
0:04:18 > 0:04:2039, not bad.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22APPLAUSE
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Not bad. - Well played, Ciaran, solid start.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28He won the 2002 World Snooker Championship, beat Stephen Hendry.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Went on a strict diet to achieve it, gave up liquorice all-sorts,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- that was the key, he said. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Now, then, Bread. We discovered something about you last time.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We discovered a few things. You answer to Craig as well.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- That is my proper name, yes. - How many people call you Bread?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Everyone, nearly.- Everybody. Now, Bread, remind us what you do.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I'm a manager in the drinks dispense industry.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Now, that sounds fun. What exactly does that mean? What do you do?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58We install beer pumps, basically, in the bars.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, in your spare time, what do you get up to?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02I follow cricket
0:05:02 > 0:05:05and I also follow football, which was my downfall on the last show.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Oh, yes, it was, Round Two. Frank Lampard.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09We were looking for captains.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Anyone who had captained England more than five times.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Frank Lampard, four times.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15What are you going to do now?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We have a board full of champions there.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I know a few, but I'm going to go for Dennis Priestley and darts.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Dennis Priestley and darts says Bread.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's see if that's right,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27and if it is, let's see how many people said darts.
0:05:35 > 0:05:3721.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39APPLAUSE
0:05:39 > 0:05:4021 for darts.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Well played, Bread, won in 1994. You know they've all got nicknames,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- what do you think Dennis Priestley's nickname is?- The Menace, is it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Dennis the Menace, yeah, Dennis the Menace Priestley.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- He wears red and black stripes on stage, as well.- That would do it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Like Dennis the Menace. - Thank you very much. Now, then, Abi.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Welcome to Pointless, good to have you here. What do you do?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I'm a school nurse.- A school nurse.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Of all the people who come to you at school,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08how many of them are just trying to get out of class?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It does depend on whether it's decent lessons
0:06:10 > 0:06:12or if it's raining outside, I must admit.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14What do you like doing when you're not nursing?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm very much into village life, we live in a small village.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I thought you were going to say Village People there,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22just for a brief moment. Village life.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27I am in the local drama club and I enter the flower show.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I enter against my mother most of the time, we're quite big rivals.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- OK, who usually wins?- Me.- Good.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Now, Abi, we just want the names of the sports in which these
0:06:38 > 0:06:40people have been world champions.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Considering they're all supposed to be world champions,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I haven't heard of many of 'em.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48But I think I'm going to go for Jackie Stewart, motor racing.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Jackie Stewart, motor racing, says Abi.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Let's see if that's right,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and if it is, let's see how many people said motor racing.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It is, of course, right.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Ooh, look at that, 85.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Wow, well, it's still a correct answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah, won the Formula One World Drivers Championship in '69,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'71 and '73, Jackie Stewart. Also a very, very good clay pigeon shooter.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Very good marksman.- So he is, yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Thanks very much. Now, Mike.- Hello.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Welcome to you. What do you do?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm retired, but most of the things I do are to do with
0:07:19 > 0:07:22the game of bridge, duplicate bridge.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I organise...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26You've already lost me on "duplicate bridge".
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's when people play against each other in competitions.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- National competitions, local competitions.- I see, OK, good.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35They all play exactly the same hands, though, that's the point,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38so you can test exactly who's done the best around the country.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39I see, that's right, I see, right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- That makes sense, I thought you were joking.- No, no.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Yes, now, that does make sense. So, Mike, what did you do before that?
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Er, I was a teacher in sixth form college. I taught psychology.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I don't usually tell people that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Why wouldn't you tell people that, Mike, cos it's interesting?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Well, they all go... - MIKE GASPS
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Anyway, listen, here you are. You've got this board.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02There are still four unanswered people there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Do you think you could take us through them?- Yeah, most of them.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Beth Tweddle is, I think, a gymnast.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'm a bit scared by Jackie Stewart being so high,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14it always seems to be the '60s and '70s things get huge scores.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17John Conteh was a boxer, a light heavyweight, I think.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I think I'm going to go for Karen Briggs.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Sarah will probably not talk to me if it gets the 100.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25But I think she was involved in judo.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27You're going to say judo for Karen Briggs.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Bread is nodding, for what it's worth.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Let's find out if Bread is right, and Mike is right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Judo for Karen Briggs, how many people said that?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38It is right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Well, 21's our lowest score so far.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You've passed that very comfortably.
0:08:44 > 0:08:455, well done.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47APPLAUSE
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Good answer, 5 for judo.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- It raises the question of why Bread didn't go for it, doesn't it?- A bit.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Don't you think?- Yeah. - Did you know that one, Bread?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59An inkling, but I didn't want to risk it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Fair enough. Well played, Mike, a terrific answer.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Took us very nicely through the board, as well.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05He's going to be good, Mike, I think.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Bridge players are usually very clever.- Of course, yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10They do those cruises and everything as well, don't they?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12You can play bridge on cruises.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Play bridge on the River Kwai if you really want to.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Let's go through the rest of these.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Beth Tweddle, you're right, is a gymnast.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24She would have scored 47 points, pretty big score.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27John Conteh, he is a boxer and he was a light heavyweight as well,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29a world champion, 49 points.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32And Nick Matthew is the best answer on the board,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and he is a squash world champion.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Would have scored four points, very well done if you said that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43let's look at those scores. 5 was the best score of that pass, Mike.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Very well done, Mike and Sarah
0:09:44 > 0:09:47can feel quite pleased with themselves on the back of that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Then up to 21, where we find Bread and Tony. 39, Ciaran and Patrick.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And then 85, Abi and Alix.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55So, yes, that was a high score.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Alix, how good's your knowledge
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- of world champions?- I don't know.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Possibly not very good, so we'll see.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03OK, well, very best of luck with this next board.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11OK, let's put seven more world champions up on the board
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and here they come. We have got...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'll read all of those one last time.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We're looking for the sports in which these people have been world champions.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Sarah, you want to find the lowest scoring
0:10:36 > 0:10:38answer on that board.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Sarah, do you also help in the bridge world?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Yes, I'm a tournament director alongside Mike a lot of the time,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48although I do work on my own as well.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- But you enjoy it?- Oh, yeah.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We wouldn't do it if we didn't enjoy it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Very good. Sarah, what are you going to make of this board?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Oh, I'm pleased there are a couple of names that I recognise,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and I'm very pleased that Mike got such a low answer
0:11:01 > 0:11:03because it means I don't have to
0:11:03 > 0:11:05worry quite so much.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09If you can score 79 or less, you're through to the next round for sure.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I'm just going to go for Victoria Pendleton, cycling.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Victoria Pendleton, cycling, says Sarah. Here comes your red line.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said cycling.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's right. And you're through.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Ooh, 73, well done.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28That did exactly what it needed to do,
0:11:28 > 0:11:2978 is your total.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Retired after the 2012 Olympics.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Thanks very much. Now, Alix,
0:11:35 > 0:11:36welcome to the show,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38what do you do?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm a student at the moment.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42What do you do in your spare time?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I help organise music events,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I'm part of a local group called Hijack, so I do that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51We have a little radio show, as well, so, it's good, it's fun.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53What sort of music events are those?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55All sorts, we do open mics once a month,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58so, for local performers to come around and all sorts.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02We have, we had a metal night and we had, like, acoustic acts,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- so we have a complete range. - Excellent. Good stuff.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08What we need from you, Alix, is a very, very low score.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I recognise quite a few names,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14and there are a couple I know for sure, but what with our score being
0:12:14 > 0:12:19quite high, I think I'm going to take a punt on Alistair Brownlee
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and say I think he was triathlon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Triathlon says Alix for Alistair Brownlee.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No red line for you, you're the high scorers.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said triathlon.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's absolutely right, Alix, very well done.
0:12:38 > 0:12:4025.
0:12:41 > 0:12:4425 takes your total up to 110.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well played, Alix, yeah, two-time world champion so far.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Also won gold at the 2012 Olympics.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- His brother won bronze, Jonny Brownlee.- That's right, thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Now, Tony.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Welcome back. So, yes, what happened last time?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- We went out on our strongest round.- Mmm.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04And you were so easily in, you could have gone for a really...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Peter Shilton was your answer, wasn't it, in that round?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It was a fantastic low score.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Tony, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Erm, I know quite a few of them,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17but I'm going to go for James Toseland and motorcycling.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Motorcycling, says Tony, for James Toseland.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23You want to be scoring 88 or less to get through to the next round.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It's right and you're through. Well done.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's a very good answer, 12.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That takes your total up to 33.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Well played, Tony, World Superbike Champion, of course, 2004, 2007.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- He's married to Katie Melua. - I did not know that.- Yeah.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Did you know who he was? - I did not know that either.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53LAUGHTER
0:13:53 > 0:13:56But I didn't know she was married to a superbike champion.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58She did "nine million bicycles in Beijing,"
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- didn't she?- So she did.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Anyway, that's nice, isn't it?- That is nice.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Two people found love. - Yes, and two so different people.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08But you don't know who James Toseland is.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10LAUGHTER
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Thank you very much. Now, yes, Patrick.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Patrick, welcome to the show. What do you do, Patrick?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'm a data analyst for part of the Department of Health
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- called Public Health England. - What are your hobbies, Patrick?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Quite like a lot of theatre, go to a lot of live music,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27play quite a lot of five-a-side football.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Favourite band at the moment?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- The National. - The National.- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- CONSPIRATORIALLY:- Tell me about the National, Richard.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37They're like an American sort of, slightly indie, slightly rock,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40very intelligent, very intellectual sort of rock band.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43But, you know, with, like, kind of an arena feel as well.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You'd like them very much.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Shh.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- The National, love them. Love the National. - LAUGHTER
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Brilliant. That is, yeah, good. When did you last see them?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Did you see them when they were last over?- Er, yes, yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01OK, there we are. Patrick,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03that board is all yours.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Talk us through it. - Ben Ainslie is sailing,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08but I won't go for him, I think that'll be too high,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11so I'm going to go for James Cracknell, rowing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12James Cracknell, rowing, says Patrick.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18There's your red line, that's what you have to get below.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23You've done it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Very well done indeed, 47.
0:15:28 > 0:15:2986 your total, Patrick. Well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Well done, Patrick. Funnily enough,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Ben Ainslie would have scored you almost exactly the same.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37He is sailing, but would have scored you 48 points.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The other two are the best two answers. Liam Tancock is a swimmer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Would have scored you 4 points.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And Nora Perry is the best answer up there,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48she won two World Doubles Badminton Championships.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So Badminton would have scored you 3 points.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Thanks very much indeed. At the end of our first round,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm sorry to say it's Abi and Alix who are going to be leaving us
0:15:56 > 0:15:57with their high score of 110.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Nothing wrong at all with either of your answers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Jackie Stewart was just a very
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- expensive one.- Yeah.- Yeah, who knew?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I knew Beth Tweddle, but I thought more people would know her.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Oh! Well, there we are, you've learned something for next time.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12We'll look forward to seeing you when you come back,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Abi and Alix, but thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17APPLAUSE
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27So, three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31we'll have to say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Mike, by a distance you had the best score in that round with judo,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37that was a great answer.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But the brother-in-laws from Mansfield
0:16:39 > 0:16:41are our lowest scoring pair, Tony and Bread,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43so they would appear to be the pair to beat.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:48 > 0:16:52US Politics. We got a groan and a tut from our audience here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Can you decide in your pairs
0:16:54 > 0:16:57who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:10 > 0:17:14..as they could. US presidents with one or more repeated letters
0:17:14 > 0:17:15in their surname, Richard.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We're looking for any US president
0:17:17 > 0:17:19who has one or more repeated letters in their surname.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Those letters don't have to be consecutive, just so as anywhere
0:17:23 > 0:17:26in their surname there's the same letter twice, we'll accept it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Very best of luck.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- OK, Patrick.- Yes.- Patrick.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33How's your knowledge of US presidents?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Er, I've got an idea or two. I think they might be quite large.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I'm going to go for Bill Clinton.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Bill Clinton says Patrick. Let's see if that's right,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48It's right.
0:17:52 > 0:17:5347.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56APPLAUSE
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- 47 for Bill Clinton.- Bill Clinton, yeah, he's got two Ns in his name.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Fourth letter, seventh letter.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Boom.- There we are.- Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- You plotted those accurately, you got them spot on.- Yeah, thanks.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Four and seven, choom!
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Choom, what a salvo. - Yeah, not bad, was it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Down it goes.- Laser-guided. - I like that.- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Bread.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- Yeah.- Bread.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So, we want the name of any US president
0:18:24 > 0:18:27whose surname contains one or more repeated letters.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I've got a couple but I think they're going to be quite high.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- It's going to have to be Abraham Lincoln.- Lincoln, says Bread.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39let's see how many of our 100 people said Lincoln.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4652, not bad at all.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48APPLAUSE
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Not bad, 52 for Lincoln. - Yeah, two Ls, first and sixth.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Two Ns, third and seventh.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56XANDER EXHALES
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Did you see that?!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01That's good. That is good.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02- That is good.- Thanks.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I didn't even think of the Ls.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- I hadn't thought of them! - There you go.- Isn't that weird?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11He's well stocked with repeated letters, Lincoln.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12OK, good. Now, Mike,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I have a feeling you're going to be good at this.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17He does bridge, you know. He runs bridge.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18- Mike, does he?- Yeah. - I didn't know that.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Duplicate bridge.- Duplicate bridge?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Do you know that one, where they all do,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24it's basically the same across the country?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25It's so they can do tournaments
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and they know that everybody's got the same hand, so, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Did you know you can do cruises where you can play bridge? Did you know that?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- I dare say you could probably do bridge on the River Kwai!- Ohh!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Yeah, yeah. - That is so quick.- I know.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Anyway, sorry, Mike, where were we?- Great joke.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47LAUGHTER
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- James Buchanan.- James Buchanan says Mike. Let's see how many of our
0:19:51 > 0:19:53100 people said... I'm not going to say
0:19:53 > 0:19:56"Let's see if it's right," I know it's right, Mike said it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Let's see how many people said James Buchanan.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Look at that, 1, Mike!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Frankly, I thought it deserved to go all the way down,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16but it's still pretty good, Mike. 1 for James Buchanan.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yeah, As five and seven, Ns six and eight.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23That's a terrific answer. I'm getting so obsessed with doing that
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I forgot to say that was genuinely a great answer, Mike.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Very well played. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30We're halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:20:30 > 0:20:321, unsurprisingly, the best score
0:20:32 > 0:20:34of that round, Mike, fantastic.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Then up to 47 where we find Patrick and Ciaran.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Then just up a notch to 52, where we find Bread and Tony.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42So, Tony, what we need from you is a really good answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Something a bit like James Buchanan.- I'll try.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47OK, best of luck. We're going to come back down the line,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Now, then, Sarah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58We're looking for the name of any US president whose surname
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- contains one or more repeated letters.- Yeah.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Well, again,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Mike's made my life a little bit easier,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I don't have to find something very obscure, I don't think, I hope.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm going to go for FDR, Franklin Delaney Roosevelt.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14FD Roosevelt, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18There's your red line, if you get below that with FDR,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It's right, obviously.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You are through, quite obviously.
0:21:28 > 0:21:3014, very well done indeed.
0:21:30 > 0:21:3115 your total.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Nicely done, Sarah.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Os two and three, Es five and seven in Roosevelt,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and it's Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
0:21:38 > 0:21:39but, er, it's a
0:21:39 > 0:21:41perfectly acceptable answer.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Thanks very much. Now, Tony.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Yeah.- Tony, you're the high scorers. Have a look at Ciaran first.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Just have a look at Ciaran.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Is that the face of a man who's got a brilliant president
0:21:53 > 0:21:55with repeated letters in his surname?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Might be better than the one I've got.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- At least you've got one.- Yeah.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- Um, Sarah pinched mine. - Sorry!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I thought that was going to be the name of your president!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I was thinking, "That can't be right...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07"They haven't had a female president!"
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Don't you remember Sarah Pinchmine? She was a Republican...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13LAUGHTER ..president in the 1860s.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15How shaming, I'd forgotten her(!)
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Um, what are you going to go for, Tony?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm going to go for Benjamin Franklin.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Benjamin Franklin, says Tony. Benjamin Franklin.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27No red line, as you're the high scorers,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29but let's see how many of our 100 people said Benjamin Franklin.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Ooh, bad luck, Tony.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Takes your total up to 152.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Yeah, there's Ns four and eight in Franklin,
0:22:45 > 0:22:46but he was never a president.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48One of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- but never a president. - Seen that picture on t' dollar.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I know he looks all presidential, doesn't he? Turns out he wasn't.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Yeah, he was arrested
0:22:57 > 0:22:59for impersonating a president at one point.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- LAUGHTER - Oh, yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04He especially had some of the letters in his surname duplicated.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06He used to travel round the world saying,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- "Yeah, I'm President Franklin."- Yeah!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10"Perhaps you've seen me on one of my notes."
0:23:10 > 0:23:13"Yeah, that's me. I'll sign it for you, there you go."
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Cost him an absolute fortune.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I bet it would have done. It would have.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Now, Ciaran, you're home and dry. - Hah, yeah, so that's good!
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Which is good.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Even if you score 100 points, you are in the head-to-head,
0:23:26 > 0:23:27which is nice to know.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- However, I think, being a writer and all that...- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33..somehow that'll give you a bit of American...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Not many American presidents in kids' TV.- No.- No. Not that many.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I was thinking - I had a few, I had John Kennedy, James Carter,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and I had Ronald Reagan.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And I was trying to think of Eisenhower's first name,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46but I couldn't.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50So, I'm going to play it quite safe and just go for Ronald Reagan.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Ronald Reagan, you're going to say.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Ronald Reagan. OK, well, let's see if that's right,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Let's see how many people said Ronald Reagan.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No red line, obviously, because you're through.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01It is right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:0637, well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:0937 - 84 is your total.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Very well played, Ciaran, that's all you had to do.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15There's only one pointless answer on the whole board,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18which shows you what a good answer James Buchanan was.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Let's take a look at the pointless answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Franklin Pierce would have been a pointless answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Well done if you said that.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Now, Benjamin Harrison was a US president,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27would have scored you 1 point,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Martin Van Buren would have scored you 1 point as well.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Other low answers you could have given -
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, John Quincy Adams and James Monroe
0:24:35 > 0:24:38all would have scored you 2 points, well done if you said any of those.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39You'd have got 3 points
0:24:39 > 0:24:43for Millard Fillmore, William Henry Harrison or William Howard Taft.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let's take a look at the biggest scorers,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52There's Bill Clinton, 47. Abraham Lincoln, 52.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56And right up the top, there is Barack Obama, 57,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59with an A third and fifth.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03At the end of that round I'm sorry to say it's Tony and Bread -
0:25:03 > 0:25:05oh, crumbs.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It wasn't meant to end here again! Surely.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I'm so sorry. But Tony and Bread,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15it's been great having you on the show.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Thanks for playing. Great contestants, Tony and Bread.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Thank you very much.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23But, for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Congratulations, Mike and Sarah, Patrick and Ciaran,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:25:34 > 0:25:37for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, now we have to decide who's going to play for that money,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and to do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47But the difference is, you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49So, you can share all your wisdom before you give your answers,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and the first pair to win two questions will be
0:25:51 > 0:25:55playing for that jackpot. Well, Patrick and Ciaran, very well done.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Congratulations. A solid, solid performance throughout.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But Mike, I have to say you are the star of the show so far.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02You've scored 6 points in the first two rounds.
0:26:02 > 0:26:056 points, judo and James Buchanan, between them.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Nothing too shabby about your answers, either, Sarah,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11but Mike, he knows quite a lot, is what I'm saying.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14So, yes, Patrick and Ciaran, good luck with that.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Thank you.- I think this promises to be a very exciting third round.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Film couples. Richard.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33We'll show you five stills from films now,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36with one part of a romantic coupling cropped out.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Can you tell us the actor who is missing from each, please?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Thank you very much. So, let's reveal our five stills.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43And here they come.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04There we are. Five stills from films.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Now, Mike and Sarah, you played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08so you get to go first.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13THEY WHISPER
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Just E, then?- Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21OK, we're going to go for E and John Travolta.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23OK, E and John Travolta.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Now, Patrick and Ciaran, the rest of the board is yours.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Talk us through as many of them as you can.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34OK, I'm fairly certain D is Meg Ryan, B is Patrick Swayze,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36not sure who C is at all.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40But I think we're going to go - we think A is Andie MacDowell
0:27:40 > 0:27:41in Groundhog Day.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- So A, Andie MacDowell.- You're going to say Andie MacDowell for A.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47So, we have John Travolta and Andie MacDowell.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Now, Mike and Sarah have said John Travolta for E.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Let's see if that's right,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It's right.
0:27:57 > 0:27:5879, John Travolta.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Patrick and Ciaran, meanwhile, have said Andie MacDowell for A.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Let's see if that's right,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and if it is, let's see how many people said Andie MacDowell.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Absolutely right.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And you win that question, well done.
0:28:17 > 0:28:198! Very well done indeed.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Very well done, Patrick and Ciaran.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28After one question, that means you're up 1-0.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Well played, Patrick and Ciaran.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You're quite right, Groundhog Day, there. 8 points.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35There's only one answer that would have beaten it, actually, it's not B.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37B, there's Jennifer Grey alongside Patrick Swayze,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39as you said. Would have scored 53,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41it's in Dirty Dancing, of course.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Now, C, that is James Bond.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45It's George Lazenby
0:28:45 > 0:28:47getting married to Diana Rigg.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48Very well done if you said that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:505 points.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53And D is Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, alongside Billy Crystal.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55And she would have scored you 28.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Thanks, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Mike and Sarah, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Good luck. It concerns...
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- The Netherlands.- Yeah, good evening to all our viewers
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- in the Netherlands. There are plenty, they get the BBC over there.- No!
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yeah, you get tweeted all the time from people in the Netherlands.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16When I get tweeted and it's in really good English,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- that's presumably...- That's it. - Dutch viewers.- That's when you know.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- Wow.- Exactly. We'll to show you five clues
0:29:21 > 0:29:22to facts about the Netherlands,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25you need to tell us the most obscure answer. Best of luck.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02There we are, five clues to five facts about the Netherlands.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Patrick and Ciaran, you go first this time.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07THEY WHISPER
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I think we're going to go for the city that is the seat of government
0:30:10 > 0:30:12for the country, and we think that's The Hague.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15The Hague, say Patrick and Ciaran, The Hague.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Mike and Sarah, you can talk us through the rest of the board,
0:30:19 > 0:30:20if you like.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Well, I think it's guil... Is the currency guilders?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25- Guilders.- I don't know...
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Capital city's Amsterdam, Mike's trying to remember the footballer,
0:30:30 > 0:30:31but I don't think he's getting there.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- I think guilders would be better, anyway.- Yeah.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38OK, so our answer is, main unit of currency, which is the guilder.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40The guilder, say Mike and Sarah.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So, we have The Hague versus the guilder.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Patrick and Ciaran said The Hague, let's see if that's right,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49It's right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:5333.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Mike and Sarah have gone for the guilder.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05It's right.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08It has to beat 33 if you're to stay in the game -
0:31:08 > 0:31:10and it does! Very well done. Ooh, it's close.
0:31:10 > 0:31:1228, very well done indeed.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I knew this was going to be close, and it is.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Mike and Sarah, you're back in the game. After two questions it's 1-1.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21It's a good head-to-head, isn't it? Two good teams here.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23The capital city, you were absolutely right, was Amsterdam.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Would have scored you too many points, though.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Would have scored you 69.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29The best answer on the board is the Dutch flower garden,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33it's the Keukenhof, would have scored you 5 points.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- And the Dutch footballer - Mike, any guesses on that?- Johan Cruyff?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Not Cruyff, it's after his time.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41- CIARAN:- Ruud Gullit?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Not Ruud Gullit either -
0:31:42 > 0:31:44it is Marco Van Basten.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46He would have scored you 8 points.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48OK, so it all comes down to a third question.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:31:51 > 0:31:54and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both teams.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Our third question concerns...
0:31:58 > 0:31:59UK forests. Richard.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00We'll show you the names of five forests,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02that are located within the United Kingdom,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05but we've left out alternate letters from their names.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Can you fill in the gaps, please?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10OK, let's reveal our five forests, with clearings.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12And here they are. We have got.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Whew. I'll read those all again, without the blanks.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51There we are.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Five forests. Mike and Sarah, you get to answer first this time.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- You don't want to try the Welsh one? It's your specialist subject! - I know!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- You're supposed to do the Welsh ones.- Yeah, I know.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- OK, in that case, it'd better be the fourth one.- I'm not sure...- Yeah?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Yeah.- The Forest of Dean.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Forest of Dean.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Forest of Dean, say Mike and Sarah.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Now, Patrick and Ciaran,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13do you think you can talk us through the rest of that board?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15We know number two's Sherwood Forest.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Don't know the first or the third,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20so we're going to have to go for the fifth,
0:33:20 > 0:33:21which we think is Epping Forest.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24OK, Epping Forest, say Patrick and Ciaran.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26So, we have Forest of Dean and we have Epping Forest.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Mike and Sarah have said Forest of Dean, let's see
0:33:28 > 0:33:32if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33It's right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:3839.
0:33:42 > 0:33:4439 for the Forest of Dean.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Is that going to beat Epping Forest,
0:33:46 > 0:33:47or is Epping Forest going to beat that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Patrick and Ciaran, let's find out.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Now, 39 is what you have to beat...
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Ooh, 48.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00There's your answer.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03And there are our finalists. Very well done, Mike and Sarah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Great head-to-head, very well played both teams.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Now, there's two answers there that would have won it for you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Sherwood Forest is correct, but it is a big scorer.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Would have scored you 56.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18There's a forest in Wiltshire called Savernake Forest,
0:34:18 > 0:34:23would have scored you 6 points, and this last one, I have a feeling,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Mike and Sarah, you were having a think about going for this one.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Yeah... I think it might be Gwydyr Forest.- Gwydyr Forest in Wales.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Welsh one, yes.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Yeah, it's virtually the only thing that could fit those letters,
0:34:33 > 0:34:36and it is Gwydyr Forest, and it's a pointless answer.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Agh...- You got the point, anyway. You did the sensible thing.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Yeah.- But very well done if you got that at home.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Thanks. So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:34:44 > 0:34:47are, I'm afraid, Patrick and Ciaran. But an honourable performance.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Ooh, that was close. Very close.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I mean, the second and third answers, really extremely close.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53But we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55The good news is, we get to see you again next show,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58where I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00But thanks very much for playing meantime.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Patrick and Ciaran.- Thank you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06But for Mike and Sarah, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Congratulations, Mike and Sarah. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:13 > 0:35:15and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Well, you've done incredibly well.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Your first appearance on Pointless. Straight through to the final.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36You made it look very, very easy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Some great answering from both of you, particularly you, Mike.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41What would you like to come up in this round?
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Sarah, anything in particular? - Literature, maybe.- Mike?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Not films.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- Words, perhaps? Words would be good.- Mm.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51OK, best of luck.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57You have four options to choose from, and they are...
0:36:05 > 0:36:06HE CHUCKLES
0:36:06 > 0:36:09OK...Well, I don't think either of us know anything
0:36:09 > 0:36:11about Russian culture, do we?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Do you want to do Oscar-winning film directors?- No.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18But I guess that's probably the one thing
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- we might both be able to say something about.- OK.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Despite what I said, Oscar-winning Film Directors.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Oscar-winning Film Directors it is. Richard.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30OK, here are the three options you've got.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Take your answers from any of these.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33We're looking for any feature film made for cinema
0:36:33 > 0:36:36release for which Oliver Stone has been credited as director,
0:36:36 > 0:36:41or for which Francis Ford Coppola has been credited as director,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44or for which Robert Zemeckis has been credited as director.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46So, any feature film made for cinema release up to March 2013
0:36:46 > 0:36:50for which any of these three gentlemen were credited as director.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Very, very best of luck.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Thank you very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59To win that jackpot of £2,000,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01just one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06and it's up to you how you spread them across.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07They can all be from the same category,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10you can have one from each, two from one, one from another -
0:37:10 > 0:37:11it's entirely up to you. Are you ready?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13As we'll ever be, I think.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16It's going to be a quiet minute, I think.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18OK, well, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Any ideas?- Um... Oliver Stone's Platoon. Um...
0:37:25 > 0:37:30- Right. Not going to be pointless! - No, it's not going to be pointless.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32But I don't...know.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Um, Robert Zemeckis, do you know... - No, nothing at all.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37- ..the name at all?- No.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- You're just hopeless! - Francis Ford Coppola?
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Apocalypse Now? Was that his? - I don't know.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- We're not doing very well, are we?- No.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Um, we're probably better off making something up.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Did Coppola do... Is that The Godfather?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Um...probably.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Possibly, yes. I think you might be right.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Well, it'd be Godfather I and Godfather II!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Oh...- Platoon.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- We didn't choose the right subject. - We didn't.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Well, no, there wasn't one.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Ten seconds left. - No more time. We'll go...
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- We're ready. - OK, you're ready.- Yeah.- Yep.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18All right, we'll stop the clock.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20There we are, your time's up, anyway.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- I now need your three answers.- OK. - Oliver Stone, Platoon.- Platoon.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28And Francis Ford Coppola, Godfather I and Godfather II.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Godfather I and Godfather II.- Yep.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Of those three, would you like to nominate one
0:38:33 > 0:38:35to be your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Well, we know Oliver Stone's correct.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Shall we put Platoon last, then? - Yes.- Perfect.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Yeah, go on.- And which is your least likely? Shall we say...?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Godfather I.- Godfather I.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51We have got The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and Platoon.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Very best of luck, Mike and Sarah. Your first answer was The Godfather.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58This...obviously, if it's correct and it's pointless,
0:38:58 > 0:38:59will win you that jackpot of £2,000.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I mean, let's just say everybody forgot about The Godfather...
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Which they might have done!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06What would you be spending that money on?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Early on in our relationship,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11it's alleged that I offered to take Sarah to Venice,
0:39:11 > 0:39:12cos she said she'd never been.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17Now, I've denied this, but should we win £2,000, I think
0:39:17 > 0:39:21this might be an alleged promise that might be kept.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Very good. Sarah, anything else you'd like?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25No, getting to Venice would be good.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Good. OK, well, let's hope.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Take our trophy on the Continent. - Mm.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Perfect. Send us back a photograph. It'd be nice.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37OK, so, let's find out - The Godfather,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40for £2,000, is that a Francis Ford Coppola picture?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Well, the answer is yes, it is. - At least it's right!
0:39:44 > 0:39:46That's the first thing it had to be, was correct.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48The second thing it has to be is pointless,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and that will involve it going down to zero.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Oh, 32.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5532 - it's not a bad score.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- No! I thought it'd be higher. - I have very good news for you.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Sequels always score less.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Mm.- How much less, I don't know. But let's find out.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08The Godfather Part II, again, for £2,000, let's find out,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11is that another of Francis Ford Coppola's pictures?
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Yes, it is.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Well, The Godfather took us down to 32,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Godfather Part II takes us down...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Past 32, look at that, true to form.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Oh, into the teens!
0:40:23 > 0:40:2512. Look at that, good lord.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It's all moving in the right direction.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34OK, well, your final answer was Platoon.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- You put this third because you knew it was right.- Yes!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, still, I think it's a great answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Let's find out, though, if it's pointless.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42If it is, you will win £2,000.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Is Platoon an Oliver Stone film?
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Well, yes, it is.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Your first answer was The Godfather, which took us to 32.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Your second answer, The Godfather Part II took us down to 12.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Platoon passes the first of those...
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Not the second, I'm afraid. 15.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, three perfectly good answers,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07considering you were on pretty thin ice, there.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Mm.- It was not a category you enjoyed, particularly.- No.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18But we really enjoyed having you on the show,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20and you performed so well throughout it.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23You can walk with your heads held high as you leave the studio,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25and, of course, with your Pointless trophies held above them.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- So, very, very well done indeed. - Thank you.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Unlucky, Mike and Sarah. You played terrifically well throughout.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Anyone who really knows their films would have won the jackpot here,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40because there's some big films on these lists.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Let's start with Oliver Stone.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44His big scorers were - Platoon was his biggest of all.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47JFK and Born On The fourth Of July were other big scorers,
0:41:47 > 0:41:48but here's some pointless ones from him.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51The American football drama Any Given Sunday,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54his film all about George W Bush, W, would have scored you nothing at all.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Would have been a pointless answer. His follow-up to Wall Street,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps was a pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01World Trade Center.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Also you could have had Salvador and Talk Radio, they were both pointless.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Now, for Francis Ford Coppola the three Godfather movies
0:42:07 > 0:42:08were his biggest scorers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Apocalypse Now, which you almost went for, would have scored you 6.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13But here are the pointless answers for him.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Jack, Peggy Sue Got Married, The Outsiders
0:42:17 > 0:42:21and his version of the John Grisham book The Rainmaker.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Robert Zemeckis, whose big scorers were the Back To The Future films
0:42:24 > 0:42:27and Forrest Gump, those were the biggest scorers for him.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29But there's some big pointless answers here as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32His animated version of Beowulf was a pointless answer,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Contact, Death Becomes Her was a pointless answer,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Romancing The Stone was a pointless answer as well.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39So, well done, if you knew your films it was a great category to have.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Tough luck in the studio. But been absolutely lovely having you here,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- so thanks ever so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Unfortunately, we have to we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49but we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Mike and Sarah.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Well, sadly Mike and Sarah didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
