0:00:18 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I am Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26A warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the quiz show where the obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one?
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hello. I'm Alice and this is my housemate, Dan,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and we live in Hackney.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42- Couple number two? - My name's Charlotte.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is my father, Derek, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46- Couple number three?- Hi, I'm Louise.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is my boyfriend, Gareth. We're from North London.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Dave and this is my friend Keith
0:00:53 > 0:00:54and we're from Cheltenham.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03That just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:03 > 0:01:05the pater familias of the Pointless family.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So no matter what anyone does today,
0:01:07 > 0:01:08he'll still be disappointed in us.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Afternoon to you.- And you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Are you well? - Yeah, I am well. Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We've got two pairs back from last time. Gareth and Louise -
0:01:21 > 0:01:23they were very, very unlucky to get knocked out last time.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Yes.- Gareth gave us a terrific answer on a sports/geography round.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And he unfortunately got 100 points
0:01:30 > 0:01:32but I think they're going to be tough to beat.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And we've also got Dave and Keith on that final podium.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37We didn't see much of Dave and Keith last time.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39But you remember Jeff and Tom, you guys?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Lovely Jeff and Tom, Tom the teacher?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Got through to the jackpot round.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Three pointless answers.- Wow!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Three pointless answers. - What about that?!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Doesn't happen very often, does it? - No, they were brilliant.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- They did really, really well. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, all our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:01:59 > 0:02:00those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Of course everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09As you've heard, Jeff and Tom won the jackpot last time
0:02:09 > 0:02:10so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15There we are. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17APPLAUSE
0:02:19 > 0:02:22OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:22 > 0:02:24but there is to be no conferring within the pairs.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25And at the end of the round,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30OK, our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36US politics. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:36 > 0:02:37who's going to go second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK and the question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Presidential campaigns, Richard?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53On each pass, we're going to show you seven years
0:02:53 > 0:02:55in which presidential campaigns were held.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We need you to tell us the name of the person
0:02:57 > 0:02:59who won the presidency in that campaign, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02There's going to be 14 years in all to have a go on at home.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Some of them tough, some of them a bit easier.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So we're looking for the names of the presidents
0:03:08 > 0:03:10who were elected into office in the years shown.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And here is our first board of seven. We have got...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Now, Dan and Alice, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and today, you're going to go first. Dan, welcome to the show.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Good to have you here. What you do, Dan?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I work in comms at the National Union of Students
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and I run a film website.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Of the two of those things,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48can I just have a stab at which one I think you prefer?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'm going to go with the film website.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51That's my hobby, yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Yeah.- I enjoy the film website. - But you run the website?- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Did you set it up yourself?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah, I set it up like seven years ago
0:03:57 > 0:03:59and now I've got a team of volunteer writers
0:03:59 > 0:04:01who go out and review films, interview people
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- and all that kind of stuff. - But you do things like...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06There was a thing I was reading about - you do a Mad Men...?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah. So this is, kind of, another side project.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12A friend of mine hadn't seen any of the latest series of Mad Men.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- Yeah.- And so I thought I would catch them up
0:04:13 > 0:04:15by doing one episode on a post-it note,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17or a season on a post-it note,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and then texting them the post-it note.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22And then it got kind of... It spiralled out of control
0:04:22 > 0:04:24and all of a sudden it was in The Radio Times
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- and Grazia...- Fantastic! Can't argue with that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Now, how's your American politics?- Erm...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Only recent politics is one I can, kind of, take a stab at, I guess.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Like, I'm lost on the 1800s and stuff.- Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42I'd probably have to go with 1996
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and Bill Clinton.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK. You're going to say 1996, Bill Clinton.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50how many of our 100 people said Bill Clinton.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54It's right.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- APPLAUSE - 32.
0:05:02 > 0:05:0332 for Bill Clinton.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Good answer, Dan. Well played.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yeah, that was Clinton's second term.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09He once said being president is like running a cemetery.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10You've got lots of people underneath you
0:05:10 > 0:05:12but no-one's listening to you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14LAUGHTER
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Thanks very much. Derek, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19I'm a solicitor.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21And what do you do in your spare time?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I work for a murder mystery company.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It presents murder mystery events.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27And you have scripts to learn?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- It's just like...- We have a plot, we actually improvise dialogue.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But I usually finish up dead. So I never see the end.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35That's quite nice - means you can slip away.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Well, up to a point, yes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40But imagine you had to stay till the end! You'd be there till Sunday every week.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I miss the pudding, though.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43But you can go round and eat the pudding in the kitchen.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45What, as a ghost? I suppose, yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Has anyone ever got cross about being killed too early
0:05:47 > 0:05:48and refused to die?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- That's what I want to know. - Some people try and get all their meals at the starter
0:05:52 > 0:05:53and take it all with them -
0:05:53 > 0:05:55a bit of a giveaway they're not going to live long.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- It's all food related with you, isn't it, Derek?- Largely, yes.- Yeah!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, Derek, what are you going to go for?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Is American politics a good realm for you?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Not really, no.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'm going to go for 1948,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No-one ever says FD Roosevelt.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Do they? Everyone always says Franklin Delano.- Mm, they do.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I know you are very particular, Alexander.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I know, I approve of that but thank you very much.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Let's see if that's right for 1948.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Oh!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, bad luck, Derek. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yeah, sorry, Derek. Not 1948, I'm afraid.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I'll give you the answer at the end of the round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Now, Gareth, oh, you were unlucky last time.- Just a bit.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46We wanted teams in the Spanish league
0:06:46 > 0:06:48but it wasn't the teams,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- it was actually the cities where they were based.- That's right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- And I went too obscure. - You went too obscure.- Yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So, Gareth, remind us what you do.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I am a full-time student and part-time swimming teacher.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You're funding your studies with the swimming teaching.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- That's right.- What are you studying? - Business.- That's right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05OK, so we're looking for the names of the presidents
0:07:05 > 0:07:08who were elected into office in the years shown. Is this a good...?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I did American history for A-level so...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, well, this is just perfect.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14My Year 13 history teacher, Mr Winton,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17is probably screaming at the TV right now!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm going to go with 1864
0:07:19 > 0:07:20and Abraham Lincoln.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Abraham Lincoln, 1864.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Look at that! What a brilliant answer.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- 4, Gareth. - APPLAUSE
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hats off. That's a fantastic answer and a brilliant low score, as well.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Well played, Gareth. Very nicely played.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Yeah, that was the start of his second term as well.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Dave. Welcome back.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Now, what happened last time, Dave?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54We went out in the first round, unfortunately.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57A subject that didn't quite suit your knowledge.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58But there we go, back for another go.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01There we are, back for another go. What do you do, Dave?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I am a credit controller for an agricultural company.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06And when you're not doing that, I remember you're a gambler.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Well, I like my racing, yeah. - There we are! OK, Dave,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10what are you going to go for? This is your board.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You can talk us all the way through it, if you like.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Cor, I'll have a job!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17US politics wouldn't be my thing.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Curiously, I've got an inkling for 1980,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24only from a Frankie Goes To Hollywood music video.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- And I'll say Ronald Reagan. - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Is it largely down to Frankie that you know that one?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Absolutely! Wouldn't have a clue, otherwise.- For the Two Tribes one?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Yes.- With the scrap with Yeltsin? - That's what I'm thinking,
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- it's about that year.- That's good.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- It's a good video, that.- Oh, excellent.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Let's see if that's right. 1980, Ronald Reagan.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45If it is, how many people said it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49It is absolutely right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, 4 is our lowest score to date.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- 25, you get for Ronald Reagan. - APPLAUSE
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Well done, David.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03He won an absolute landslide that year against Jimmy Carter.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04He was America's oldest president
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and then beat his own record four years later.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08He wasn't in the Frankie Goes To Hollywood video.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Somebody who didn't look THAT like him.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And it was the real... Actually, it wasn't Boris Yeltsin, it was...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Chernenko.- Chernenko, exactly.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- That's a good quiz question - "Who was the Russian president in that?"- Yeah, Chernenko.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- And he got his ear bitten off, I seem to remember.- Yeah, he did.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- It was terrible.- Yeah. - They kept that in the video.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I couldn't believe it.- I know. Oh.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Amazing. And it single-handedly ended the Cold War, that video.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Yeah, it did, it did! It did.- Literally,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- within nine years, the Berlin Wall was down.- Glasnost was ushered in
0:09:34 > 0:09:37pretty much on the back of the chart success of Two Tribes.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Amazing.- Let's take a look at the remaining answers up here.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Now, 1948 was not FDR,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45it was Harry S Truman.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Harry S Truman in 1948 would have scored you 5 points.
0:09:48 > 0:09:522008, unsurprisingly, Barack Obama.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54And that would have scored you 74.
0:09:54 > 0:09:561789
0:09:56 > 0:09:58was George Washington.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59That would have scored you 10.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03And right at the top there, 1828, very, very well done to anyone
0:10:03 > 0:10:04who got Andrew Jackson.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You just got a pointless answer so very well played.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Thanks, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let's look at those scores. 4 - the best score of that pass.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Gareth, very well done indeed.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Thwarted last time, this time not making the same mistake twice.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Then up to 25, where we find Dave and Keith,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20up to 32, Dan and Alice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Then I'm sorry, Derek and Charlotte,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24it's a big trot up to there,
0:10:24 > 0:10:25up to 100, where we find you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I wouldn't be at all surprised
0:10:27 > 0:10:29if that's the last incorrect answer, though,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32so a low score from you, Charlotte, might keep you in the game.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Best of luck with that. Back down the line,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42OK, let's put seven more years on the board. And here they are.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43We have got...
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I'll read those one last time.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Now, remember we are looking for the presidents who were
0:11:01 > 0:11:04elected into office in the years shown, and obviously you're going
0:11:04 > 0:11:07to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Now then, Keith, welcome back. You're retired, Keith.- I am indeed.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12What do you do with your time?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, I look after my mum, who's elderly,
0:11:14 > 0:11:19but in my spare time I like playing poker,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and music's a big thing for me, I go to a lot of concerts.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24What was the last gig you went to?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- I went to see a singer called Faith Hill in Las Vegas.- Wow.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Oh, that's good. Did you come back having scored a million?
0:11:32 > 0:11:38- No, I lost a few hundred dollars. - But still, great trip.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Anyway, there you are on 25, the high-scorers are on 100,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43so a score of 74 or less
0:11:43 > 0:11:46will keep you from becoming our new high-scorer.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I'm hoping not to join my own personal 200 club here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'm going to go for 2000 and George W Bush.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Here comes your red line. If you get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Very well done, you've done it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:1651. 76 your total.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well played, yeah, that was the election that there was
0:12:19 > 0:12:23all sorts of controversy over, whether he won, whether Gore won.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26There we go, thank you very much. Now, Louise.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Hello.- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- What do you do, Louise?- I'm an admin manager for a Harley Street clinic.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I like travelling, mostly, socialising and travelling.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Two excellent hobbies. What's the furthest afield you've been?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Furthest and best, probably Uganda a couple of years ago.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It was jam-packed with safaris, bungee jumping,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50white-water rafting, and just a beautiful country.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Very good. Have you ever studied American history? No.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Politics, no.- Gareth did incredibly well in that first pass.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I'm clinging to that one.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Yeah, well, I think he's put you in a pretty safe position.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06If you can score 95 or less...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm going to join his 100 club from last time, I think.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12So I'm going to take a stab in the dark and go by era, and I'm going
0:13:12 > 0:13:15to pick the senior version of George W,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and possibly go for 1960.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- 1960 for...- George W Senior. George W Bush, 1960.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- George W Bush Senior, 1960.- Mm-hmm. - Well, here is your red line,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30if you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Ohhh, bad luck!
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Bad luck, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41scoring you the maximum of 100 points, takes you up to 104,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but I think you are going to be all right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Sorry, Louise, a long, long time before his time I'm afraid,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50that would in fact have been George Bush Senior Senior Senior.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51LAUGHTER
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Thanks very much.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Charlotte, which presidents were elected into office in these years?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Oh-ho-ho-ho, we have a game on our hands here.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The high-scorers on 104 are Louise and Gareth.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06If you could score three or less...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I bet you there's going to be another low-scoring answer
0:14:08 > 0:14:11on that board, but it all comes down to your American history.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14My American history's absolutely nil.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I've got a few presidents I can think of, but I really am
0:14:17 > 0:14:22in the dark as to where their presidency begins and ends, so...
0:14:22 > 0:14:27I'm going to have another stab at my dad's suggestion,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
0:14:29 > 0:14:37- And I'm going to say 1932.- 1932, FD Roosevelt, here comes your red line.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40More of a red carpet...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- LAUGHTER - ..than a line. But anyway, if you can get below that
0:14:43 > 0:14:45you're through to the next round.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Let's see if FD Roosevelt is right and how many people said it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It is right, well done, Charlotte.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh, it's a good score, down it goes...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Oh, and six!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00APPLAUSE
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Brilliant answer, so nearly.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Yeah.- Mind you, the round's not yet over.- How about that, Derek?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Yeah, that's when FDR won the 1932 election.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Thanks, Richard. Alice.- Hello.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Welcome to Pointless, what do you do, Alice?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I study photography at the University of Westminster.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24And what are your hobbies?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I also travel quite a lot,
0:15:26 > 0:15:33and when I was younger I decided I wanted to be a film extra as much
0:15:33 > 0:15:40as possible, so I managed to be in Vanity Fair with Reese Witherspoon.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41There you go.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43And also, I fell over,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47but I thought that might make me easier to spot when I watched
0:15:47 > 0:15:50it back, but then when I re-watched it, I just fell asleep.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- You didn't even see your scene?- No.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And what about American history, is this good for you?
0:15:57 > 0:16:04- Well, technically, I did history at A-level...- American history?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07There was some American history in there...I think,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I didn't go to school very much though.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Erm...- She's a woman of mystery.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17LAUGHTER
0:16:17 > 0:16:20She was busy falling over on the set of Vanity Fair, I think.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22OK, so there you are, you're on 32,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24the high-scorers on 106 are Charlotte and Derek.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26If you can score 73 or less,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- you're in the next round.- OK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Talk us through the board, do you think you can?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Well, I could guess.- That'll do!
0:16:35 > 0:16:40If I was going to guess, I would guess John F Kennedy for 1960,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44maybe Woodrow Wilson for 1916...
0:16:44 > 0:16:50maybe Lyndon B Johnson for 1968.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55And John Quincy Adams for 1800, but that is a real guess.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I don't know if any of those are right, so I'm going to say...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03..Lyndon B Johnson for 1968?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Here comes your red line, get below that, you're in the next round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Lyndon B Johnson, how many people said it, is it right?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Ooh, no!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Great news for Charlotte and Derek, terrible news for you, Alice.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I have a feeling some of those answers you gave were good,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26but that one wasn't one of them.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29That scores you 100, takes your total up to 132, sorry.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Alice, it's really unlucky given some of the other answers you gave.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Lyndon B Johnson was the outgoing president then,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39obviously took over from Kennedy, and it's Richard Nixon who won in '68.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Would have scored you 14 points and, of course, Kennedy was
0:17:43 > 0:17:46elected in 1960 - which you knew - and that would have scored you 33.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Would have seen you safely through.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51You also knew Woodrow Wilson, 1916, terrific answer,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53would have scored you three points.
0:17:53 > 0:17:581904 was Theodore Roosevelt, would have scored you three.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You weren't quite right about John Quincy Adams, it's about the
0:18:01 > 0:18:05right time, it goes Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08He would have scored you nothing at all,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10so very well done if you said that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- That was unlucky, wasn't it? - I know, cracking answers,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Woodrow Wilson - phwoar, that would have been a great score.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Anyway, I'm afraid that at the end of our first round
0:18:19 > 0:18:21we have to say goodbye to you, Alice and Dan,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23but we'll look forward to your return
0:18:23 > 0:18:24because we know how much you know.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's going to be very good indeed,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Pointless owes you one on your return.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Thanks very much for playing though. Alice and Dan, great contestants.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Ooh, and now only three pairs remain.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44At the end of this round we have to say goodbye
0:18:44 > 0:18:46to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Dave and Keith, our returning pair, lovely low scoring there.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52As a pair, you were our lowest-scoring pair,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55but then we had some individual flashes of brilliance.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Gareth - fantastic. Brilliant answer from you.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02And, Charlotte, lovely low score with FDR, when it came out.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Derek, bad luck there.- Yes. - Better luck next time.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Anyway, it promises to be a cracker, this round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18who's going to go second.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35That's a bit gentler, isn't it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38We're looking for any single released by Take That that's reached
0:19:38 > 0:19:43the UK top ten prior to March 2013, please. Very best of luck.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Derek really, really thrilled that he put Charlotte first, because
0:19:47 > 0:19:51by the time it gets back to him, who knows where we'll have got to?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Anyway, Charlotte, Take That, is this good for you?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I was a big fan in the '90s, but then who wasn't?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Yeah, it's not the worst. - What are you going to go for?
0:20:01 > 0:20:07I'm going to say - and I hope it was top ten - Pray.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Pray, let's see if that was top ten.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12If it was, let's see how many of our 100 people said Pray.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Absolutely right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29It was their first ever number one, in fact, from 1993.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Thanks, Richard. Now, Louise...Take That.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Sorry, boys, but I was an East 17 fan.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Em, quietly confident, I don't know whether to do Gareth's trick
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and take a punt, but we all know how that ended up, so I think
0:20:43 > 0:20:47I'm going to play it safe and go for another one-worded one with Babe.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53how many of our 100 people said Babe.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It's right. Well, 22 is our lowest score, our only score.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02You passed that with Babe...
0:21:02 > 0:21:03ten. Well done, Louise.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Babe, yeah, another number one single, although there was
0:21:11 > 0:21:14a big chart battle, between Take That and Mr Blobby.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Released in the same week, Mr Blobby went to number one,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19then next week Babe knocked Mr Blobby off,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22and then the week after - which was Christmas number one -
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Mr Blobby came back and knocked them back off.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Oh, you remember that, right? - Like it was yesterday.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29LAUGHTER
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Thank you very much. Now, Keith.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Yes.- Take That, eh?- Not good.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Not my genre at all.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Somewhere in the back of my mind,
0:21:42 > 0:21:47I'm sure they had a single called Shine.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48That's my guess.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Shine, let's see if it's right
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Absolutely right. 22 our high, ten our low...
0:22:00 > 0:22:0217 for Shine.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Another number one single, sung by Mark Owen,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10it's never been off adverts since, has it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Never. - Brit Award for Best Single in 2008.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Released in 2007.- Thank you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Ten, the best score of that pass. Very well done, Louise,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24putting you and Gareth once again in pole position.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Then up to 17, where we find Keith and Dave,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28then up to 22, Charlotte and Derek.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Thank goodness we've got you there, Derek.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33HE SIGHS
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I mean, you know all their album tracks and everything, don't you?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- Yep.- So that should be fine.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We're going to come back down the line,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48OK, so we are looking for UK top ten singles released by Take That.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Dave, you're in a medium-strong position.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53That was a fantastic answer from Keith,
0:22:53 > 0:22:54considering it wasn't his genre.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It's not mine either.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57LAUGHTER
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Oh, I think I'd have preferred US politics again, to be honest.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Really, really struggling, the only one I can think of,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09and I'm not sure how it'll score, would be Patience.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13OK, there is your red line.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Get below that, you're definitely through to the next round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18But hovering a little bit above it won't be
0:23:18 > 0:23:19the end of the world either.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Look at that, not bad at all, 19.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Takes your total up to 36, Dave. - Well done, Dave.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yet another number one, that was their comeback single,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40hadn't had a number one for ten years.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43He's quite a songwriter, Gary Barlow, isn't he?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Amazing songwriter, you're right. Now then, Gareth. Gareth...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Every answer you've given has revealed
0:23:50 > 0:23:52a certain amount of expertise.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Is this is where we come to the end of the Gareth line?
0:23:55 > 0:24:01Erm...no. Shamelessly, I've been to see them.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02LAUGHTER
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The only problem is whether they were top ten singles.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07So I'm going to go with...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Erm, I'm going to with The Flood.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Here is your red line.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17The high-scorers, Dave and Keith, on 36, you're on ten.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Get below that, you're in the next round.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Flood.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Very well done, through you go. Ten for The Flood.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Your total goes up to 20.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40And that's another great song, the first one they released
0:24:40 > 0:24:42when Robbie came back to the group, reached number two.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44There's absolutely no shame
0:24:44 > 0:24:46in having gone to see Take That.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Anyway, there we go, 22 is your score, Derek.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52The high-scorers are Dave and Keith on 36,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54so if you can score 13 or less...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56you're in the head-to-head. Derek,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58talk us through your thinking.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well, there's a few I think I know,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03but I think they're all going to score too high.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Relight My Fire, the duet with Lulu, there's Never Forget...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I think that's going to be
0:25:10 > 0:25:11too high as well. Erm...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Trying to think of anything more obscure than that,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15but it's got to be top ten, hasn't it?
0:25:15 > 0:25:16It's got to be well-known,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19but one of the more obscure...well-known hits.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Relight My Fire.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26OK, here is your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28What do you think, Charlotte?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I think that's a very popular song, but we'll see.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33OK, Relight My Fire, how many people said it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Ooh, 23!
0:25:46 > 0:25:4823, takes your total up to 45.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Sorry, Derek, that's tough luck.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It was a number one single for Take That and Lulu.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56If you'd said Never Forget, would have scored you 17,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58too many points as well, unfortunately.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Hope that makes you feel slightly better rather than slightly worse.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05There's only one pointless answer, it's a recent one.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09It's the recent single Said It All, which is another great song actually.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You'd have got low scores for Love Ain't Here Anymore,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13How Deep is Your Love.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Other scores that would have seen you through - It Only Takes A Minute
0:26:16 > 0:26:19would have scored three, Sure would have scored four, Greatest Day, five,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Everything Changes would have scored six,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24A Million Love Songs would have scored 15,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Could It Be Magic would have scored 15 as well, Rule The World -
0:26:26 > 0:26:29another brilliant song - would have scored 16.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Let's take a look at the top three, the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- What do you think the number one is? GARETH:- Back For Good.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44- Back For Good.- Absolutely right, would have scored you 26 points.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47At the end of our second round it's
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Derek and Charlotte we have to say goodbye to.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Not a bad score, 45, but I'm afraid you were underscored by the others.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Dave and Keith, couple of dark horses there.- KEITH:- Miracle!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Oh, I don't know, two very good answers there.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Two pretty good answers from you, Charlotte and Derek,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03but I'm afraid they were just too high-scoring.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06We'll see you again next time but, in the meantime,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08thanks very much for playing. Derek and Charlotte.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE
0:27:10 > 0:27:13But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Congratulations, Dave and Keith, Gareth and Louise,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:27:23 > 0:27:26play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We have to decide who's going to play for that money,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The big difference is you're now allowed to chat
0:27:33 > 0:27:35before you give your answers, and the first pair to win
0:27:35 > 0:27:38two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's been a long time since we've had
0:27:40 > 0:27:42a head-to-head round with two returning pairs.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- I know, it's true. - Yeah, long, long time.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Neither of you been here before. Round One for you last time,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Dave and Keith, and Round Two for you.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yeah, I think this is going to be interesting.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We've had some dazzling moments from Gareth in both shows, and we've had
0:27:55 > 0:27:59some very good strategic answering from Dave and Keith, who've
0:27:59 > 0:28:02revealed that they do actually know quite a bit more than they let on.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So I think this is going to be a very close round. Best of luck
0:28:04 > 0:28:06to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Going to show you five flags of EU countries, just need you to
0:28:22 > 0:28:25tell us the most obscure country you're about to see, good luck.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five flags.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54There we are, five EU flags.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Dave and Keith, you've played best
0:28:58 > 0:29:00throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06- That gives more of a clue, cos it's got the country.- We'll go D, Cyprus.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- Now, Gareth and Louise, can you talk us through the board?- No.
0:29:13 > 0:29:19I had a dream/nightmare that I was on here and this was my question.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21And I downloaded an app that would help me through,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24and my mind now is...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- not helping.- So you were forewarned of this in a dream?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I had a premonition!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32And then you, well, you didn't ignore it, but you got the app,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34and thought having got the app, that's probably fine.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- I guessed a few. - What happened next in the dream?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I woke up.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Ah.- There's a few on there that we have an idea of.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Go on, tell us what they are, you can go through them.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52C, I'm guessing you think, what do you think it is? Germany or Belgium.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Yeah, I'm guessing the latter.
0:29:54 > 0:30:02- E, Italy.- It's not Italy.- And A, for some reason I think it's Croatia.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03And I would say Macedonia.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05So we're going to battle here.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09B, I know I wrote in my app, but I couldn't tell you what it is now.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Yeah, go on, then.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12C, Belgium.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So we have D, Cyprus and C, Belgium.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Now, Dave and Keith said Cyprus, let's see if that's right
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and if it is, how many people said Cyprus.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26It's right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:3331 for Cyprus.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Now, Gareth and Louise, you have said that C is Belgium.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- No.- Germany.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Yeah, not Belgium.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Which means, well done,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Dave and Keith, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Sorry, Gareth and Louise, I can say this because you've
0:30:57 > 0:30:58been so good in every other round,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01you did about as badly as it's possible to do on that one, I think.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05So the one round where you download an app is the one you do worse in.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07That's Germany.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Would have scored you 76 points.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12The Belgian one is vertical stripes.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Now, A, it's not Macedonia, it's not Croatia,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16the thing in the lop-left corner...
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Malta.- ..is the George Cross, which was awarded to Malta, yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22And that would have scored you 11 points.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26B, one of the Baltic States...
0:31:26 > 0:31:28it's Estonia.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Used to be a flag of a student union, that did,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33now the flag of an entire country. Five points.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And E, not Italy as some might people might think -
0:31:36 > 0:31:38cos again, Italy is vertical - that is Hungary.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Would have scored you seven points.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48So here comes your second question. Gareth and Louise, you get to answer
0:31:48 > 0:31:52this first, but you have to win it to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now, all about jazz,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02all of these are covered on the jazz app that you can download
0:32:02 > 0:32:04anywhere on your smartphone.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53There we are, five clues to facts about jazz.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Gareth and Louise, you will go first.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59This may be the round in which we go out, erm...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05We're going to have a punt at
0:33:05 > 0:33:08"American city known as the birthplace of jazz"
0:33:08 > 0:33:10and say St Louis.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Now, Dave and Keith, the board is all yours.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Talk us through it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19We think we'll go for the
0:33:19 > 0:33:22"American city known as the birthplace of jazz"
0:33:22 > 0:33:23and say New Orleans.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27So we have St Louis versus New Orleans.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Gareth and Louise said St Louis, let's see if that's right.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I'm afraid it's not.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Which possibly may mean that Dave and Keith are right, which is
0:33:38 > 0:33:39all they need to be at this stage.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41New Orleans, is that right?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Yes, it is, well done, you've won that point,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47let's see how many people said it. 54.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The crucial thing, it was right. Dave and Keith, well done,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56after only two questions you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Very well played, let's go through the rest of this board then.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The first ever full-length talking picture, The Jazz Singer,
0:34:02 > 0:34:03and it starred...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Al Jolson.- Yes.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Would have scored 24.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09And the person who most famously sang Strange Fruit, Elinore Harris was...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- Billie Holiday.- Yep.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Would have scored six. The character name of the singer and pianist?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Sam, I don't know what his surname is.- Nope, it just needs Sam. 38.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That's from Play It Again, Sam, they never said
0:34:20 > 0:34:24"Play it again, Sam", but that's the line that's always famously quoted.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- And Louis Armstrong has a cameo appearance in...?- Don't know.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Hello, Dolly!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31And it's the best answer there,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- would have scored three points, well done if you said that.- Thank you.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36So the losing pair at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40I'm afraid it's Gareth and Louise. But what a performance, this show.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44We had Take That, you showed some great football knowledge
0:34:44 > 0:34:48last show, and I'm afraid you then came up against flags and jazz.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52It's been great to have you on the show, thank you so much for playing.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Gareth and Louise.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But for Dave and Keith, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Congratulations, Dave and Keith, you've seen off all
0:35:06 > 0:35:10the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:17 > 0:35:20and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I don't know why this happens but it keeps happening, that people
0:35:23 > 0:35:26go out in the first round, come back, and go through to the final.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- That seems to be the pattern. - More relaxed, I guess.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Maybe, maybe that's it, but we've tested you today.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39We've had US politics, Take That singles, flags, jazz...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- And here you are.- Somehow.
0:35:41 > 0:35:442-0 in the head-to-head, that's not to be sniffed at, so very well done.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- Some national hunt racing would be nice.- Not out of the question.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56'70s and '80s heavy metal, that'd be good.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58OK, well, as always, you start this round off by choosing
0:35:58 > 0:36:01a category, and you have a choice of four options.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03They are...
0:36:03 > 0:36:06'70s heavy metal. Uh, sorry, misread that. Madrid...
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Pretty much what you wanted, wasn't it?- Not really.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Madrid, can't see us going for that, can you?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I mean, you're strong on film. Middle two we don't want, do we?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31We'll go for British cinema, Alexander, please.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Three very different options for you here, guys, good luck with these.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40We are looking for the name of any David Lean film that has
0:36:40 > 0:36:43a personal name in its title, so the name of a character.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48We're looking for any actor credited in Withnail And I.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Or any feature film made for cinema release in which Jim Broadbent
0:36:51 > 0:36:53has received an acting credit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Very best of luck, guys.- Thank you.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Now, as always, you've got
0:37:03 > 0:37:05up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is for just
0:37:08 > 0:37:10one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Remember, the answers you give can come from any one of these
0:37:12 > 0:37:14categories, and it's up to you
0:37:14 > 0:37:16how you spread them across the categories.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19They can all be from one if you like, or you can have one from each.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Are you ready?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- BOTH: Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Jim Broadbent, was he in Love Actually, things like that?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Notting Hill?
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Maybe Notting Hill, I thought he was in something, was it Mrs Brown?
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- With Billy Connolly.- Uh, Withnail And I is, um...- Who's in that?
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Richard E Grant.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43He's in it I think, but there's another guy who's name
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I can't remember.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I've not even heard of David Lean.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- I don't know David Lean films. - Can you think of a personal name?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55George or something?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I know Keira Knightley is in a film called Jack Ryan,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01but I don't know whether that's a David Lean film.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07- Or does he do war films?- Don't know. I'm struggling a bit.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Jim Broadbent, Jim Broadbent, Jim Broadbent...
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- What's Withnail And I about? - I've never seen it actually.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- Ten seconds left.- Weird film.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19So what shall we go for, one of each?
0:38:19 > 0:38:25We'll go for Jack, Richard E Grant and Mrs Brown for Jim Broadbent.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers,
0:38:28 > 0:38:29what are you going to give me?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32We'll have one from each category, please.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Jack Ryan.- Jack Ryan, the David Lean film.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Withnail And I, Richard E Grant.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45- And Jim Broadbent films, Mrs Brown, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46OK, of those three,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- We'll say Mrs Brown. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Your least likely to be pointless? - Richard E Grant.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58OK, let's put those answers up on the board, and here they are.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59We have got...
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Richard E Grant.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Obviously, if this is correct and it's pointless,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11you will win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15A bit of an entry-level jackpot there, but still, nice little win.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17What would you do with that, Dave?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18We're just moving house,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21so I'd probably treat myself to a new television.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Very good indeed, and something to watch this on
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- when it comes out. - Absolutely.- Keith.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Uh, I know it's a traditional answer,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30but I'd put it towards my next trip to America.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Good stuff. Three good answers on the board,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36let's hope one of those is pointless. So let's find out.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38As I say, if Richard E Grant is pointless
0:39:38 > 0:39:39it will win you that jackpot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43So for £1,000, was Richard E Grant in Withnail And I?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Yes, he was.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52The next thing this has to do is go down to zero
0:39:52 > 0:39:54and you will win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Down it goes, into the 20s.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- Good effort.- Not, I'm afraid, a pointless answer there.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10OK, your second answer was Jack Ryan.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Now where did this come from, Keith?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Simply from a recollection that Keira Knightley was in a film called
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Jack Ryan, and it was the only thing we could come up with.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:40:22 > 0:40:25There was no particular link to David Lean.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28But you remembered that Keira Knightley had been in a film...
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- I think so.- And if she's in it, it's got to be right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Let's find out.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Jack Ryan, if this is pointless it'll win you the jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Is Jack Ryan a David Lean film?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Oh, bad luck. An incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45So everything is now riding on your
0:40:45 > 0:40:47third and final answer, which was Mrs Brown.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52And again, if this is pointless, you will win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Is Jim Broadbent in Mrs Brown?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00No! Bad luck.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Bad luck. Well...
0:41:09 > 0:41:12One good answer there, but we'll discover from Richard
0:41:12 > 0:41:14how close you were with those other answers.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19which means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21and that will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- We've loved having you on the show both times.- Thank you.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Of course you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28so very well done.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Unlucky, guys, not the best category for you.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35I think, I could be wrong,
0:41:35 > 0:41:39but I think Keira Knightley was born after David Lean died.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40So it's not a right answer.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I think there are gettable pointless answers
0:41:42 > 0:41:44in all three of these categories actually.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Let's take a look at the David Lean films.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Very well done if you said any of those.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Not Jack Ryan's daughter, unfortunately. Tom Ryan's daughter.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- That's what I was thinking about. - OK.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at actors in Withnail And I.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Daragh O'Malley, he's more famously in Sharpe these days.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09A couple there people may have got, Michael Elphick is in it,
0:42:09 > 0:42:13and Ralph Brown, who plays Danny, the inventor of the Camberwell Carrot.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at some Jim Broadbent films,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17there's lots in this category.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24He plays William IV in The Young Victoria,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27and he plays Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame in Topsy-Turvy.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You also could have had Arthur Christmas,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Brazil, Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Hot Fuzz, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,
0:42:38 > 0:42:44the Damned United, Time Bandits, Vera Drake, and most famously of all,
0:42:44 > 0:42:49he was in that amazing scene in Vanity Fair, when Alice fell over.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Surprised that was a pointless answer, aren't you?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Unlucky, guys, but hope you got some of those at home.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Dave and Keith,
0:42:59 > 0:43:03but it's been great having you, thank you both so much for playing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, Dave and Keith didn't win our jackpot, which means it
0:43:07 > 0:43:11rolls over into the next show, where we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
