0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and a warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the obvious answers mean nothing, and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hi, there, I'm Victoria, this is Rose.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We're friends from County Durham.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two?
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Simon, this is my nephew James.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46From Newcastle, now living in Hertfordshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Del. This is my wife, Sarah, from Ashford in Kent.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm Jake. I live in Cheltenham.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55This is my friend, Rob, Rob lives in Manchester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That leaves just one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The freakish sideshow attraction of our travelling fair,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11step right up and wonder at the man who knows everything.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hi, everybody. Hiya. WHOOPING AND CHEERING
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Freakish sideshow attraction, is it? - That's it, yeah...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24After all these years we've worked together?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- The man who knows everything, that's the only freakishness.- OK.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30He knows everything. Yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32He, in fact, you, are freakishly intelligent.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34HE CHUCKLES Is that right?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You notice how I rushed to get to that nice bit at the end.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39They say on Twitter, when you go through the boards,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Xander gets the questions right, but he knows them already.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44He's not really clever. I always say, no, you actually are that clever.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yeah. You are nice.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- But you only see boards where I know you're going to know.- That's true.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Didn't we see a brilliant performance last time?- We did.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Deb was unbelievable. Started the show with a pointless answer,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57got her team out of trouble in round one,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00finished the show with a pointless answer as well. Awesome throughout.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Took home a very nice jackpot, and thoroughly deserved it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06She was terrific. Very good pair. Lucy was her goddaughter.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07They did terrifically well.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We've got Sarah and Del back from that show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Joined the 200 club in the second round.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Slightly unlucky, I think, to join the 200 club.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Not terrible answers. One of those rounds that went against you.- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So we might see a bit more of them today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26All our questions on Pointless were put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:28 > 0:02:29those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33We're trying to find a pointless answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Deb and Lucy won the jackpot last time.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So today's jackpot starts back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46APPLAUSE
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, in this first round, I want an answer from each of you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56No conferring among the pairs before you give that answer.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59At the end of round, whichever pair has the highest score
0:02:59 > 0:03:01will be heading home. Do what you can to make sure that's not you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Our first category today is:
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18The question concerns:
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Richard?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28In 2013, Radio Two did a poll
0:03:28 > 0:03:30to find the greatest number two singles of all time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Songs that never got to the top of the charts.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35We're going to give you seven on each pass.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We'll tell you the year they were number two.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40You need to give the act who had the number two.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43There's 14 in all. If you want to have a go at home, very best of luck.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47We want to know who had number two hits with these singles.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We have a board of seven. Let's have a look at them.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Rose and Victoria, you all drew lots before the show today.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23You are going to go first.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Rose, a warm welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- What do you do, Rose? - I'm a postgraduate student.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm training to be a social worker at the moment.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Student life, still fun?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- No, it's not so good the second time round.- Really?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Are they a bit annoying, the undergraduates?- A bit.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What do you do in your spare time, Rose?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I enjoy playing music.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I enjoy baking, though I'm not very good at it.- Playing music?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Playing music.- What do you play?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- I play piano, clarinet, and saxophone.- Excellent.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- You've played them for quite a long time?- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- And are very good at them. - Hm. That's debatable.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00You'd have to hear me. I don't think that would be great.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Alto or tenor sax?- Alto.- Very good.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Now, then, what about this board?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Um, not looking too bad.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I think I'm going to go for the top one, Golden Brown, Stranglers.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17The Stranglers, says Rose, let's hear if that's right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Stranglers.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23She is right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- There we are, 26. - APPLAUSE
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Kept off the number one spot by A Town Called Malice, by The Jam.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Loads of top 40 singles, The Stranglers,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39but only one top five, and it was that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42There we are. Simon? Simon, welcome to the show.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Thank you.- What do you do, Simon?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I'm a telecom engineer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48What do you do in your spare time?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- I like to do a bit of tae kwon do, a bit of skiing.- Not at the same time?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Not at the same time.- It would be awesome if you could. Ho!
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Ski-kwon do.- Ski-kwon do? - I'd like that.- That would be fun.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Simon, whose idea was it to come on the show?- It was my idea.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05James, the obvious candidate?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08No, I put the subject to the whole family
0:06:08 > 0:06:11and James was the quickest one to pick up the gauntlet.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Very good. Very, very good.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Simon, what are you going to go for, on this board?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Well, there's two or three that I can choose from.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I think I will go for Vienna, Ultravox.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Ultravox, says Simon, for Vienna.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Let's see how the people said Ultravox.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- 39. - APPLAUSE
0:06:37 > 0:06:3939 for Ultravox.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Voted the best number two of all time.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Yeah. I'll go along with that. - You know what kept it off...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Joe Dolce, Shaddap You Face. - Shaddap You Face, yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50That's what kept Vienna off the number one spot.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Thanks very much. Sarah, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Our newest members of the 200 club. - Thank you.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Have you been up to the 200 club house, by the way?- Yes!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- We've had it refurnished. - Really nice!- They've redesigned it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I like what you did.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I had a lovely massage up there just before the show.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I keep meaning to do that and forgetting.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11It's good. I tell you what, Heinz, his hands are magical. Aren't they?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Does a great manicure as well. - Extraordinary.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Heinz? And he does 57 different massages, which is brilliant!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- We should come up with a nickname for that guy.- Should do.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Now, then, Sarah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29We want to know who had number two hits with these singles?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I know probably two or three.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I'm going to go for Downtown, and Petula Clark.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Petula Clark, says Sarah, for Downtown.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Let's see how many people said Petula Clark?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43It is absolutely right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- 44! - APPLAUSE
0:07:50 > 0:07:5244, very popular, Petula Clark.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Well played, Sarah. They're all big scores so far.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Kept off the Christmas number one spot by I Feel Fine, by The Beatles.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Thanks very much. Now, then, Jake, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- What do you do, Jake? - I'm a civil engineer.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Any particular kind of area of civil engineering you do? Bridges?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I work in the power generation sector.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- It's about building power plants. - Very good.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What are your hobbies?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I like horse racing. One of my favourite sports.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21That's how I met Bob.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Do you go round to the race meets, or do you just follow it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I live in Cheltenham, so I'm in the heartland of National Hunt racing.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Fantastic. Good stuff. Jake, you're the last person on this board.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Why not take us through and fill in the blanks for us?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I can't take you through it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Fortunately, there is one left there that I know.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm going to go with Teenage Dirtbag, that's Wheatus.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Wheatus, says Jake. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47If it is, how many people said Wheatus for Teenage Dirtbag?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It is absolutely right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56- 25. - APPLAUSE
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Our lowest score of the round, Jake.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Well played. That was kept off number one by Atomic Kitten, of all people,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06with Whole Again.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Fairy Tale Of New York, the Pogues, featuring Kirsty MacColl.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That came number two on this list as well.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Vienna was number one.- Wow.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Fairy Tale Of New York was the second best number two of all time.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22The first time round, it was kept off the Christmas number one spot by
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Always On My Mind, by the Pet Shop Boys.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29When I Fall In Love, that was Nat King Cole. Would have scored you 18.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- And American Pie.- Don McLean.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35That was kept off by Son Of My Father, by Chicory Tip.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And also, Without You, by Nilsson, which is probably fair enough.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Would have scored you 42 points.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Some great songs on that board, aren't there?- Yeah. Fantastic.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Let's take a look at the scores. 25, the best score of that pass, Jake.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Up to 26, Rose and Victoria.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Then up to 39, Simon and James.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And 44, Sarah and Del.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It is all pretty close, quite a nice grouping there.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01But, yes, Del, you are ahead. Not far ahead. You are ahead.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We need a low score from you to make sure you're with us
0:10:03 > 0:10:05beyond the end of the round. Best of luck.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Let's put seven more number twos on the board, and here they come.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17We have got:
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I'll read those one last time.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49We're looking for the artists who released these UK number twos.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Rob, you're trying to find the lowest scoring one on that board.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Welcome, Rob. What do you do? - I'm a civil servant.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- You also worked briefly in horse racing?- I did, yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01And then left it? What was the job you did in horse racing?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I was working for a national newspaper publication,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06in the racing industry.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- And what bit of civil service do you work in?- I can't really...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Don't worry, no, it's fine. A spy. - LAUGHTER
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So, Rob, you are the first person to have this board.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18So, why not find a nice, low-scoring answer there?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21The last board was a little bit better for me.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But, fortunately, I do know one of them.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27And I believe A Design For Life was the Manic Street Preachers.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Manic Street Preachers, says Rob, A Design For Life.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The high scorers, Adele and Sarah, on 44.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35If you can score 18 or less,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37you will avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38There is your red line.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Let's see if the Manics get you below that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh, very well done indeed. Look at that, 13.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- APPLAUSE - 38, your total.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Well done, Rob, kept off the number one spot by Return Of The Mack,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00by Mark Morrison.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Whenever we have people on the show who are spies, like Rob.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Mm. - LAUGHTER
0:12:05 > 0:12:07They're always on podium four, have you noticed?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Yeah, no, they ask for that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Is that so they can make a quick exit?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Sometimes, spies get called out at very short notice.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Spies, if they go into any room...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Rob, you don't have to tell us if it is correct, but it is.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- ..they always check their different methods of exit.- Yes.- Always do.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Ross Kemp told me that.- Did he? - Yeah, yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28That's how you know on podium two, James and Simon aren't spies.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Simon, I think, once did.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- He's done stuff.- Don't get me wrong, yeah, he definitely has.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That's where he got his tae kwon do mastery.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You don't do tae kwon do whilst skiing
0:12:39 > 0:12:42without having been in the Special Services at some point.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43LAUGHTER
0:12:43 > 0:12:45How does it feel to see a spy who's still active?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Very reassuring.- That's good.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Like seeing a torch passed from generation to generation.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Yeah, that is nice. - If Rob disappears at some point,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58you know it's because the Belarusians have invaded.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01So, then, Del?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04We're looking for the artists who released these UK number twos.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- You're the high scorers, by the way. - Yes, thank you!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'm tempted by a few of them.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I can't avoid the temptation of Temptation,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15one of my favourite all-time songs.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Heaven 17.- Heaven 17, fantastic.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Let's find out - Heaven 17,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22how far down the column is that going to get you?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25No red line for you at the moment because you're the highest scorers.
0:13:34 > 0:13:377. Very well done indeed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Lowest score of the round by quite a margin.
0:13:39 > 0:13:4151's your total.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I think that might be enough to keep you in the game, I don't know.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Best of luck anyway.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Del, you can resist anything but Temptation, can't you?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50A very good answer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Kept off the number one spot by True, by Spandau Ballet.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Those were the days, weren't they? - I know.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Seriously, if you look at any top 10 from the '80s, you can't believe...
0:14:01 > 0:14:07A random top 10, pretty much every single song is a belting hit.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- I disagree with you, but...- Really? - LAUGHTER
0:14:11 > 0:14:13The charts today are equally good.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I think there's maybe less variety these days.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18In those days, the top 10 was full of mental stuff.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22But the quality is just as good. That's my opinion.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23OK.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER
0:14:26 > 0:14:29James, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I am a researcher, just about to start a new post in London.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Can I ask what you are researching?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39General health care research, the cardiovascular system principally.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Basically, research looking to improve patient care and outcomes.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Are you attached to a hospital?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I will be, yes, when I come to London.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53And what do you do for your hobbies? What amuses you in your spare time?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Football, principally. I'm a big Newcastle United fan.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Watch any football if it's on TV.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Aside from that, if it's sport, I'm probably interested!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- OK, what about music?- No. - LAUGHTER
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Music is, it's not a strong suit. It never has been.- OK.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13And there are a handful of things that I'm singing through in my head
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and they aren't helping.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So I'm going to have to have a punt - I'm not certain on anything.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24The bottom one, Rolling In The Deep,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27somebody who is singing a lot recently, that's Adele?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Rolling In The Deep, Adele, says James. Here comes your red line.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Let's find out if Adele's right
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40It's absolutely right.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Flash!
0:15:46 > 0:15:5037. Takes your total up to 76.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52The big scores keep on coming, don't they?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54That was kept off number one by Grenade by Bruno Mars.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57She also got to number two with Chasing Pavements and Skyfall.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Both of those were number two singles as well.- Mmm.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02But she's sold a lot of albums so I don't think she's too worried.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I don't think she'll mind. Now, Victoria. Victoria.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Hiya.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Hi there. Welcome to the show. Great to have you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- What do you do, Victoria? - I'm a freelance fashion designer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Where are you based, in London?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Well, I was based in London but I've just moved back up north.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Did you design the dress you're wearing?- Not this one.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22My final collection was men's sportswear, velvet,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24so it didn't really suit.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Velvet sportswear?! Do you wear sportswear?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Yeah, I wear a lot of velvet sportswear, too.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31And it's just, you know what? I just find it comfortable.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You have it sort of emblazoned with things.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34If I ever take up sport
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I'm probably going to use it for that as well.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- But, um, it's just nice, isn't it? It's casual...- Yeah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Washes well. LAUGHTER
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You can accessorise very, very easily with it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49There you are. There, true fact, exactly. No word of a lie.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52What are your hobbies, Victoria?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Music should be quite a good round, hopefully.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I'll say that and get them wrong, but, yeah, bands,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I like to go and see bands and just live music.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Good-oh. Now, what are you going to go for?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You're on 26. Talk us through the board, if you can.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06The first one's Sparks.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Second one's The Kinks, Waterloo Sunset, Jean Genie, Bowie.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Take On Me was A-ha.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15So I think I might go with Sparks,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17for This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sparks, says Victoria.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Now, you want to be scoring 49 or less
0:17:21 > 0:17:24to get through to the next round. Let's see if that's right
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Sparks.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Very well done, you're through.
0:17:33 > 0:17:3522.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36APPLAUSE
0:17:37 > 0:17:3948 your total, and you're through.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Brilliant work, Victoria, very well done.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Can I also say, very nice to hear someone in their 20s not saying,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47"These are before my time, so I don't know them."
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You're right about all of the others.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Waterloo Sunset, before you were born, but it was The Kinks,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54would have scored 42. Jean Genie, before you were born
0:17:54 > 0:17:56but it was Bowie, would have scored 49.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Take On Me, was that before you were born as well? Don't depress me!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02That would have scored 41, it was A-ha.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Thanks very much indeed. So at the end of our first round,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07the pair who are heading home, I'm afraid it's James and Simon,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10who have scored 76. Not a very high score there
0:18:10 > 0:18:12but everyone managed to score pretty low in this round.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You just happened to be the highest.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Anyway, James and Simon, we'll look forward to seeing you again
0:18:17 > 0:18:20next time, and thanks very much for playing. Thanks, James and Simon.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21APPLAUSE
0:18:21 > 0:18:23But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And so now, only three pairs remain.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34At the end of this round, we will be sending another pair home.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36This is going to be a very exciting round.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Jake and Rob are our lowest-scoring pair
0:18:38 > 0:18:41and Sarah and Del had Del's brilliant Heaven 17 answer,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44which was the lowest individual contestant score.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48And then Rose and Victoria had identical scores, each on 22.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So there's something to recommend each of you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Could be impossible to call, this one.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Our category for round two is Leaders.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Leaders. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:00 > 0:19:01who's going to go second?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13OK, and the question concerns post-war ABC leaders.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Post-war ABC leaders.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Xander's going to show you a list of five political positions.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23We're looking for anybody who's held any of these positions since 1945,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25whose surname begins with an A, B or C.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We're going to need their full names.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30There's a lot of names on the list, surprisingly enough.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34OK, thanks very much indeed. So as Richard says, we're going to put five positions up on the board.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And you just have to provide the names of anyone who's held one of those positions
0:19:38 > 0:19:42whose name begins with an A, B or C. Here are those five positions.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58OK, so we're looking for anyone whose surname begins with A, B or C
0:19:58 > 0:20:02who has held one of those positions since the end of World War II.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Now, Victoria, I'm going to give you just a second or two
0:20:05 > 0:20:07to marshal your thoughts.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Right, this is a bit of a tricky one. Erm...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Jacques Chirac.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Jacques Chirac, says Victoria. Let's see if that's right,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Jacques Chirac.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It's absolutely right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36A good answer. Look at that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:3910, Victoria, very well done, good start to the round.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Another good answer, Victoria, well played.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47He was the one who famously slagged off British food, Jacques Chirac.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Must've been many other things he did.- Mm.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51He said the worst food in Europe was Finnish food.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'm not sure if I've ever had Finnish food.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Have you not? It's all right.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Difficult to finish(!)
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Er, Del.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Well, I was thinking of trying to get a clever answer,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08but it's not going to happen.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11James Callaghan.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13James Callaghan, says Del.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Let's see if that's right
0:21:14 > 0:21:17and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:2615 for James Callaghan.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32That's a good answer, Del.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36The only 20th century politician to hold all four great offices of state,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Prime Minister, Chancellor, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Thanks, Richard. Rob.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Rob.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Hello.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47How are we feeling about this?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Reasonable. I think I've got a couple of answers.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Prime Minister of Canada, no idea.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55There's one major one for Italy,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57but I think that will score pretty highly.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02So I am going to go with Jimmy Carter for President of the USA.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Jimmy Carter says Rob. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Let's see how many people said Jimmy Carter.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11That's right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:1712.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Hammering C at the moment, aren't we? A and B not getting a look in at all.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Yeah, he was president just before Reagan,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.- Thanks.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34We're halfway though the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:34 > 0:22:3710 the best score of that pass, Victoria. Very well done indeed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Lovely low score there. Then up to 12 where we find Rob and Jake.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Up to 15, Del and Sarah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Once again, Sarah, we need a nice low score from you in the next pass.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49How are you feeling about this?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- All right?- OK.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Good luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04OK. Jake, now, Rob scored 12. Not a bad score.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06If you wanted to avoid becoming the new high scorers,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08you'd have to score 2 or less.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Remember we're looking for anyone who's held one of these positions
0:23:11 > 0:23:14since the end of World War II, whose surname begins with A, B or C.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK. Well, a couple here, like Rob.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Trying to avoid the UK ones,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23cos I think they may be a bit more obvious.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'm going to go for a president of the USA.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I'm going to go for George Bush Senior.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29George Bush Senior, says Jake.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30George Bush Senior.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Here comes your red line, for what it's worth. Very low.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Bush Senior.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40It's right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4532.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- 32 takes your total up to 44. - Good answer, though.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51They've all been good answers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Amazing how many of them are A, B and C, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I still haven't thought of a good one, though.- Oh, have you not?- No.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Uh-oh.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59LAUGHTER
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Sarah, you now have a target, which is good.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04The high scorers are Jake and Rob on 44,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08so if you can score 28 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Erm...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13There's something about what you said
0:24:13 > 0:24:16made me think you had a brilliant answer up your sleeve.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18No.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- OK.- But I'll go... I'm going to hijack an answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm going to say George Bush Junior.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29OK. George Bush Junior.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- There is your red line.- George Bush.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38let's see how many of our 100 people said George Bush Junior.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Well, it's right.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4432 is what Senior scored. 32 is what Junior scores. There we are.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48That takes your total up to 47.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Yeah, scored exactly the same. Quite surprising, isn't it?- Hmm.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You would have thought maybe he would have scored a little bit more.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Although with films, sequels always get less, don't they?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- I guess he was the sequel.- It's true.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Now, Rose. You're on 10. Great score from Victoria in the first pass.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The high scorers are now Sarah and Del on 47.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10So 36 or less...sees you through.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Mm, well, I'm not sure whether to take a punt or play it a bit safe.
0:25:18 > 0:25:1936.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Mm, I think I'm going to play it a bit safe
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and say Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28OK, Berlusconi, says Rose. Berlusconi. Silvio Berlusconi.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29There's your red line.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Silvio Berlusconi.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38It's right.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well done. Very well done. 29.
0:25:44 > 0:25:4739, your total. You're in the head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Very, very well played.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Funnily enough, Rose, there's two British prime ministers
0:25:52 > 0:25:53that would have seen you through.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Clement Attlee would have scored you 18.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Gordon Brown would have scored 27 points.
0:25:58 > 0:25:5927 for Gordon.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- He never scores well on this show, does he?- No, he doesn't.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03LAUGHTER
0:26:03 > 0:26:05There's a lot of pointless answers,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07but they're almost all Italian prime ministers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10There's one French President as well. Let's look at some of the names.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12These are all Italian prime ministers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16..would have been a pointless answer.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Also pointless. Well done if you got any of these.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26If you know your Italian politics, you're laughing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Vincent Auriol, who was a French president.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I told you the best scorers for the Brits.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34For France, Rene Coty would have scored you 1.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Jacques Chirac we've already had.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The Italian prime ministers we've already done.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39The president of the USA,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41the only one we haven't had is Bill Clinton,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43who would have scored you 30 points.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45The Canadian prime ministers. None of them were pointless.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You would have got 3 points for Joe Clark. 3 for Kim Campbell.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Jean Chretien would have scored you 4 points.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Isn't that amazing, how many of them begin A, B and C?!
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Mm.- I know that's why we did the round, but isn't it amazing?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Do you think it's cos they all sat at the front of classes?
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Yeah, I wonder if it is.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- That's why they all paid attention. - Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Well, exactly.- Alexander Armstrong. - Yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Now look at me.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You've done very well for yourself.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Thank you very much, Richard.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26So at the end of our second round, it's Sarah and Del,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29with a score of 47, which is really very low, considering.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's very close, actually. 44, 39, 47.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You just happened to be out in front.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you, our last remaining
0:27:37 > 0:27:40returning pair. It's been great having you on both shows.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I'm sorry to have to say goodbye to you now. Thanks so much for playing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:27:46 > 0:27:50But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Congratulations, Jake and Rob, Rose and Victoria.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:28:00 > 0:28:04play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We have to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08To do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10The difference is you are now allowed to confer
0:28:10 > 0:28:11before you give your answer.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Now, Jake and Rob, very well done.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You've done well throughout the show,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and you've made sure that you've come through to the head-to-head
0:28:21 > 0:28:24as the lowest scoring pair, meaning you get to stand on that podium,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26which means, Rob, you are still close to the exit, so that's good.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- LAUGHTER - Rose and Victoria, very well done.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Some great answers from you as well throughout the show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I think now you can put your heads together,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35this is going to be very, very close indeed.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39APPLAUSE
0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Football club nicknames, Richard.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54We're going to give you five visual clues now to nicknames of teams
0:28:54 > 0:28:55that play in the English League.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58We just need you to tell us the name of the teams, please.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Very, very best of luck.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five visual clues.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Here they come. We have got...
0:29:26 > 0:29:30There we are. Five visual clues to football club nicknames.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Jake and Rob, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35so you get to go first.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37(The Cottagers - Fulham.)
0:29:37 > 0:29:39(B is the Posh - Peterborough.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41(C is the Rams - Derby.)
0:29:41 > 0:29:44(Pretty sure The Cherries is Bournemouth, but I'm not sure.)
0:29:45 > 0:29:49We are going to say B, Peterborough United.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54B, Peterborough United.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now then, Rose and Victoria, do you think you can take us
0:29:57 > 0:29:58through the rest of the board?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- No.- Not at all.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Do you want to maybe just think through some of them?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04We were thinking the Spice Boys maybe,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06but that isn't the name of a club.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Cottage. Rams. Rotherham Rams? I don't know.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I honestly don't have a clue on any of them.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17If there was one that played in red could be Cherries, maybe.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- I don't know. - What do you want to go for?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Do you want to do Rotherham?
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Something like Red Cherries, so Man United, the Red Cherries.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32You will say Manchester United for D.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Manchester United for D. OK.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Jake and Rob said Peterborough United for B.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43let's see how many people said Peterborough United.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44It's right.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- 17. - APPLAUSE
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Rose and Victoria have gone for The Red Cherries,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01or as they're otherwise known, Manchester United.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- The Red Cherries. - LAUGHTER
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07let's see how many people said Manchester United.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09No.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Red cross, I'm afraid.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16Which means, Jake and Rob, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20It's logically a good answer, but, yeah, very well played, Jake and Rob.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Peterborough United's nickname is The Posh.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26D is not Manchester United. The Cherries are Bournemouth.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29That would have scored you 12 points.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33A is the Cottagers, that is Fulham.
0:31:34 > 0:31:3723 points. We don't tend to use The Cottagers so much any more.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38We call ourselves The White.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41C is The Rams. That's Derby County.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44That would have scored you 45.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49E is The Toffees and that is Everton. That would have scored you 44.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Very well done if you got all five of those.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Anyway, thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Rose and Victoria, you get to answer this one first,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00It concerns...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I'm going to show you five pairs of initials now.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11They're the initials of an actor, the initials of a film
0:32:11 > 0:32:14and the year in which that actor won the Best Actor Oscar in that film.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Can you tell us the actor and the film, please?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, let's reveal our sets of initials. Here they come.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Rose and Victoria, you will go first this time.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I think we're going to go for the top one.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Colin Firth, The King's Speech.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Colin Firth, The King's Speech,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02say Rose and Victoria.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Now then, Jake and Rob, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Tom Hanks, the second one down, Forrest Gump.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Russell Crowe, Gladiator.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Any thoughts on the last two?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16No, I don't. I don't know either of the last two.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Wouldn't have got The King's Speech either.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20What do you think?
0:33:28 > 0:33:32We'll go for Russell Crowe, Gladiator.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Russell Crowe, Gladiator, say Jake and Rob.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37So we have Colin Firth and The King's Speech,
0:33:37 > 0:33:38and Russell Crowe and Gladiator.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Rose and Victoria said The King's Speech with Colin Firth.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45let's see how many people said that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:5413. Good answer.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Jake and Rob have gone for Russell Crowe, Gladiator.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's right.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's got to beat 13.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Oh, which it does. Look at that. 6 for Gladiator.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Very well done indeed.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Jake and Rob, after only two questions,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- you are through to the final 2-0. - Well played, Jake and Rob.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Very low scoring from our 100 on this round, actually.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30The biggest score is the bottom one, which is...
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Do you know the bottom one?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Jack Nicholson, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36That is correct. That would have scored you 15 points.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37The second one down?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Forrest Gump, yes. That would have scored you 10 points.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44DH / RM is the best answer on the board.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Surprisingly difficult to get that.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man. - Oh, well done.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Would have scored 4 points if you'd got it in time.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I'm afraid it's Rose and Victoria.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Yes, The Cherries. That was tough, that one.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- But there we are. Might you have got Bournemouth?- No.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- No.- Smoggies for Middlesbrough. That's about it.- Fair enough.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18The good news for us is that we get to see you again next time,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20cos if you'd gone through to the final, that would have been it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Only one Pointless show. But you'll be back next time.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24We look forward to that.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Rose and Victoria, thanks very much meanwhile.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33But for Jake and Rob, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Congratulations, Jake and Rob, you've seen off all
0:35:40 > 0:35:44the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Well, you've done very, very well.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Only one appearance on Pointless - a 2-0 victory in the head-to-head.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02No arguing with that.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07For me, Geography I'm quite strong on.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- I'll take Geography.- Sport as well.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Sport would be a good one.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12OK, well, best of luck.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You have four rounds to choose from. They are...
0:36:25 > 0:36:26What do you think?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Well... I've spent quite a bit of time in France.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31I shouldn't say that, but French Culture maybe.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I don't know much about Madrid.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Unless it's football teams, but there's only two, isn't there?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- As far as I know. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- I think it's got to be French Culture.- OK, French Culture it is.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Richard.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Yeah, you've got three categories within French Culture for you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46We are looking for
0:36:46 > 0:36:49the title of any Victor Hugo novel.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53We are looking for the name of any feature film made for cinema
0:36:53 > 0:36:56release for which Audrey Tautou has received an acting credit,
0:36:56 > 0:37:00or we are looking for any act who has represented
0:37:00 > 0:37:02France in the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07Up to March 2013 for Audrey Tautou, and up to 2012 for Eurovision.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Victor Hugo Novels, Audrey Tautou films or French Eurovision acts.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Very, very best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Thanks very much. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:15 > 0:37:17to come up with three answers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20All you need to win that jackpot of £3,000 is for just
0:37:20 > 0:37:21one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27It's up to you how you spread them across the categories.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29They can all come from the same category or one from each.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- It's entirely up to you. Are you ready?- Yep.- Ready.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Your time starts now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Right, have we got any Victor Hugo novels?- Absolutely not.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41OK. Audrey Tautou films. I've got a couple of French films.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Don't know if it's Audrey Tautou. Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.- OK.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46What about Le Diner de Cons?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I don't know. I don't know.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Mostly men in that, so I'm not sure if that would be...
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Any Eurovision acts? - No Eurovision acts whatsoever.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55OK, let's go for three French films.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I know another French film. I think it's called Le Commode.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03But, again, I don't know if any of these have Audrey Tautou in them.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Again, she's fairly famous.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08I'll assume Parapluies de Cherbourg possibly has her in.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Red Balloon is a film set in Paris. It's a silent film.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I don't know if she appears in it, perhaps at some point.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- What's the French film you named? - Le Diner de Cons.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I think we should name three French films and hope for the best.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- It's all we've got. I think that's it.- I think that's it.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- OK, are you happy to stop the clock? - Yeah, yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30OK, we'll stop the clock there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33What three answers are you going to give me?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37There's a French film that I've seen called Le Diner de Cons.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Le Diner de Cons.- I don't know if Audrey Tautou's in it, but...
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Throw that one up there.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I'll go with Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48We'll try Red Balloon.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Well, we have to go... Red Balloon. - Red Balloon.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Of those three, are there any that you'd like to nominate as your...?
0:38:54 > 0:38:59- They're probably all as unlikely as each other, to be honest.- OK.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- We'll put Le Diner de Cons first. - Le Diner de Cons first.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Red Balloon last. - Red Balloon last.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07OK, let's put those three answers on the board in that order.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Here they are. We have got...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Best of luck. Your first answer was Le Diner de Cons.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Now, if this is right, and that's quite a big if, bit of a guess,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24but still it's a French film, she's French.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Maybe she's in it.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Can't be that many French people. Or films.- There really aren't.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30There are hardly any.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31LAUGHTER
0:39:33 > 0:39:35If this is right and it is pointless, you will win £1,000.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38What would you do with your share of that, Jake?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Well, I recently moved house. I brought with me a fairly old,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44worn terracotta sofa which my girlfriend detests.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46A terracotta sofa? Oh, I see. The colour of terracotta.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Not made of terracotta.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49LAUGHTER
0:39:49 > 0:39:51I wouldn't like that either.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53It's going to be quite fragile.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Fair enough. Rob?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I'll probably have a couple of weeks off working. Drive around Europe.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- See a bit of Europe.- Maybe take in a couple of films in France.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04A bit of French culture, I think.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06OK, well, best of luck. The first answer, Le Diner de Cons.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Let's find out if it's right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10If it's pointless, it will give you that jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13So for £1,000, is Audrey Tautou in Le Diner de Cons?
0:40:17 > 0:40:22No, she's not. Bad luck. OK, first answer down. Two answers to go.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Your second answer was Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Let's see if that's right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Again, if it's pointless, it will win you that jackpot.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30For £1,000, let's find out if Audrey Tautou
0:40:30 > 0:40:32was in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36No, bad luck.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40I'm afraid she wasn't in that either.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Oh, she's got to be in one of them. Surely!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47This is your third and final answer - Red Balloon.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50If it's right and it's pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Let's find out. Is Audrey Tautou in Red Balloon?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59No, bad luck.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01I'm sorry.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05That was a really, really tough board.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Usually there'd be a football avenue to go down or something like that.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I'm sorry there wasn't on this occasion.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20You didn't manage to find that all-important correct answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22which means, I'm afraid, you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26But we've really enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29You've done a fantastic job throughout, up till this point.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33You do get to take home the Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Yeah, you played brilliantly, guys. Very well done.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43The key is if I put the category France, that might have sport,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45but French Culture, I can't really justify putting
0:41:45 > 0:41:46a sport one in it, you see?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49There it is. Le Diner de Cons is a terrific film.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51They remade it very badly in Hollywood a couple of years later
0:41:51 > 0:41:53with Steve Carell, but not Audrey Tautou.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Not The Umbrellas of Cherbourg either.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58You might be thinking of The Flight Of The Red Balloon,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00a Juliette Binoche film, but not Audrey Tautou.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Victor Hugo novels - Bug-Jargal.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Han Of Iceland, which was his first novel.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Le Dernier Jour D'un Condamne and Ninety-Three,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12which is his last novel. All of those pointless.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Audrey Tautou films - A Very Long Engagement.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18She's in the British thriller Dirty Pretty Things.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Stephen Frears directed it.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Nowhere To Go But Up and Pot Luck, all of those were pointless.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26French Eurovision acts - Andre Claveau,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29all of these have won Eurovision. Andre Claveau, Anne-Marie David.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31She represented France but won for Luxembourg.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Isabelle Aubret and Marie Myriam. All of them won it
0:42:34 > 0:42:36for every single Eurovision entry
0:42:36 > 0:42:39apart from Patricia Kaas, Sebastien Tellier, Ortal and Amina,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41all of them were pointless.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42So our big Eurovision fans out there,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44if you got someone other than those,
0:42:44 > 0:42:45you've you just got a pointless answer.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Sorry the category didn't fall for you today. You played ever so well.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Thanks very much. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thank you for playing. Great contestants.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Sorry that last round was so hard. - APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Well, sadly Jake and Rob didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:01 > 0:43:04it rolls over on to the next show when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
