0:00:12 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27And welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:27 > 0:00:29is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31You do that by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hi. I'm Naomi. This is my twin sister, Rachel. We're from Halifax.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Couple number two?- Hi. I'm Mags. And this is my good friend, Ann Marie.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- And we're from... - BOTH:- Nottinghamshire!- Whoo!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51HE LAUGHS
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Yeah, well done.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I told them if they said it like that, they'd get a round of applause.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57LAUGHTER
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Couple number three?- Hi.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Dave and Bill - we're from Hartley in Kent,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and we've been friends for over 20 years.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And, finally, couple number four.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi. I'm Tom. This is my girlfriend, Ro, and we're from Birmingham.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13APPLAUSE
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Thanks, everyone.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We'll get to find out more about you all throughout the show, as it goes along.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23In his spare time, he writes out versions of classic novels by hand,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25just so he can dot every I and cross every T himself.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Hi, everyone. Hiya.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Good afternoon.- And to you. - How are you? You look very well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Yeah, thank you. I am, I think, well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- You look very natty.- Natty?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- You've got sort of like a "Man In Black" look about you.- Hey. It's good. It's a new shirt.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Is that a new shirt?- Yeah, yeah. I went to the shirt shop.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Did you?- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Which shirt shop do you go to?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Shirt Shop on Shirt Street. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- In Chertsey?- In Chertsey, yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55LAUGHTER
0:01:55 > 0:01:59It should be a cracking show today. We've got sort of a show of two halves today.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- We've got two returning pairs... - Yeah.- Both of whom made a bit of a boo-boo last time.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Mm-hm.- I think it's fair to say.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- Ann Marie had to name a country beginning with A and she said, "angora".- Yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- That's a jumper.- It is a jumper.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And I wouldn't have even accepted Jersey, cos that's not a country.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But "angora" I definitely couldn't accept.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And Dave and Bill were also with us and got knocked out on a football question,
0:02:19 > 0:02:20to their eternal regret, I think.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22But two new pairs. Naomi and Rachel.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Have you noticed something about them?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I think they're quite similar.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- THEY LAUGH - Yes, I have.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Identical twins. I have an identical twin.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Did you know that?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- That explains. - He does half the shows.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah. I thought that was weird.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Yeah, whenever there's complaints or something, it's usually him.- Yeah.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Cos the other guy is really nice. He's really friendly.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46LAUGHTER
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Oh, no, but he doesn't have my intellect.- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51That's why he and I get on so well, I think.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Oh, you think you get on with him?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Oh, really?- Oh, he's not a big... No, he's... I like you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59LAUGHTER I do like you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- But he, not so much.- Oh, really?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Well, he's a good actor. - Uh, we've also...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- We also have Ro and Tom.- Yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And Ro and Tom, hold another record -
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Joint Shortest-Named Contestants In Pointless History.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Yeah, five letters between them. - Five letters between them.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Ro, also, the first person in Pointless history
0:03:16 > 0:03:20to have one of our initials as a name.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Oh, yes, cos Xa never came on. - No, exactly.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Xa, Ro.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yeah, Ro. Very good.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, I'm looking forward to it. Shall we do it?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yeah, let's do it.- Come on! - Let's do it to it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32All questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Our contestants need to find the obscure answer those 100 people didn't get.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer - an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Now, Kevin and Lauren didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So, today's jackpot starts off...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52at £4,000.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54APPLAUSE
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01APPLAUSE
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Now, as I'm sure you all know,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And, remember, there is to be no conferring during the first two rounds.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, our first category today is...
0:04:14 > 0:04:15pop music.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Pop music.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And you'll decide, in your pairs, who's going to go first and second.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:04:29 > 0:04:31to name as many...
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Madonna singles with three-word titles as they could.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Madonna singles with three-word titles. Richard?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We're looking for the name of any Madonna single
0:04:40 > 0:04:42that's been a UK Top 40 hit,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44that has a title with three words in it, please.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Sounds terrifying - actually a lot of her biggest hits on this list.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Also some very obscure answers as well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, any Madonna Top 40 single with three words.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55When a word's got an apostrophe, like I'll Be Back, for example,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56which isn't one of her songs,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59that would count...apostrophes, we would count those as one word.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, any Madonna single with three-word titles. Very best of luck.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Naomi. Welcome to the show.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Thanks.- Good to have you here.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now, who is the older between you and Rachel?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'm the oldest by nine minutes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Nine minutes?- Yeah. - Have you ever been allowed to forget that, Rachel?- No.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Apparently, she was supposed to be first
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and I just shoved her out of the way at the last minute.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- That's the way to do it. - I'm quite proud.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Do you think there'll be a bit of ESP going on today?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28A little bit of twin advantage?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29We have the same knowledge,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32so, I don't think that would really help, unfortunately.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- We're both bad at the same things. - OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37What are you going to go for, Naomi?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I hope this is right. I think it's quite good. But it might be somebody else's.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I'm going to go for La Isla Bonita.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46La Isla Bonita. Let's see if that is right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. La Isla Bonita.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It's right.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Ooh, it's a good one. Look at that, Naomi. Well done. 20.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- APPLAUSE - 20 for La Isla Bonita.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05RICHARD: Good start, Naomi. Well played.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's tough on that first podium, when you're asked a question like this.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11One where you've got to properly think about it. Yeah, number one single from 1987.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- It means The Beautiful Island, but you could probably work that out. - I...I had a hunch.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'll remember that.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- It's good. I'm glad you got it sorted out. - Yeah, we sorted that. It's fine.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER RICHARD: Yeah, lovely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Thanks very much. Now, Ann Marie.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Yes.- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Remind us what happened last time, Ann Marie. It was round one.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I fluffed it. What can I say? - Has Mags let you forget about that?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- No.- Oh, I forgive her.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39That's good. That's nice.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41How do you two know each other?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44We met in an amateur dramatics group.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- And how long ago was that?- Four or five years.- Four or five years.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50How many productions have you done together now?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52About four, five.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Yeah.- Yeah.- So, one a year.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56That sounds about right. Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Are you working on one at the moment?- We are, yes.- What is it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We are both, singularly,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06taking part in one of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Obviously, it will be singular, I'm sure, too.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So, they're monologues, but they'll be performed on the same night
0:07:12 > 0:07:13as part of the same programme.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Good stuff. OK, now, Ann Marie, how good is your Madonna knowledge?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well, I think, as it's the first round,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I might go for one that I'm certain...I think,
0:07:23 > 0:07:24was three words,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26which is Like A Prayer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Like A Prayer. OK, let's see if it's right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Like A Prayer.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:3820 is what you want to beat.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4037. Not bad, though.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42APPLAUSE
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Not bad. Like A Prayer, Richard. - Well played, Ann Marie.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It was her sixth number one single of the '80s. She didn't do badly in the '90s either and the noughties.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Now, then, Dave, welcome back. - DAVE:- Cheers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Dave, good to have you here.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Now, of course, it wasn't you who, ahem, gave the incorrect answer, was it, in round two last time?
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- No, it wasn't, but I have forgiven him. - You have?- Yeah.- That's good.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Now, Dave, what are your hobbies?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Uh, fly fishing.- Fly fishing.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Where do you do your fly fishing? - Uh, all over...all over the world.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Oh, do you? You do it properly?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yeah, we go all over Kent, all over Sussex, we've been to Mexico.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Hang on! You need a passport for Sussex!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Yeah, yeah. No, Mexico, Florida.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- Yeah.- I'm a beekeeper, as well.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25That's fun. How long have you done that for?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26About two and a half, three years now.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Is it quite easy, taking up beekeeping?- Uh, yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Really? You just... - Gives me a buzz.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Well done. - LAUGHTER
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It's very technical. It's a lot more technical than you'd think.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- How many have you got? - I haven't counted them.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43LAUGHTER
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Roughly, how many have you got, Dave?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Um...- How many hives?- Six.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Six hives?- And I've just put one round at Bill's.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Does he know?- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Just.- Uh, Dave...
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- How well do you know your Madonna? - Not...not very well.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- OK.- I can only remember one. - Has it got a three-word title?- Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Good.- Thank God for that!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Like A Virgin. - Let's see if that's right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Like A Virgin.
0:09:16 > 0:09:1779!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:2279 for Like A Virgin.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Yeah, not a number one single, actually, Like A Virgin.- Really? - Number three single. Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Jim Broadbent does a version of it in Moulin Rouge as well.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Slightly different to Madonna's version.- Yes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Ro?- Hello.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Where are you from, Ro? - Um, I'm from Birmingham.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41And what do you do, Ro?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I work at a school, as an art technician.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49That's the best kind of art to do, isn't it? The technician bit.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, it's really creative
0:09:51 > 0:09:54and I get to help the kids out, help the teachers out
0:09:54 > 0:09:56and do lots of creative, fun things as well.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Very good - and what do you get up to when you're not doing art technician stuff?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Um, I like sewing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I actually made this dress. - Did you really?- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08That's not just sewing. That's a great... That's designing!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Thank you so much. - The sewing was just the... that was just the last bit.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Great dress. Now, how did you and Tom meet?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We actually met at Warwick Castle,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21where we both worked as peasants.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I was a peasant wench and he was a stable boy. So, uh...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Oi, oi!- Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So, stable boy. What was your job as stable boy, Tom? Apart from...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- The obvious.- ..to seduce the wench. - Yeah, well, that's it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36So, whilst we were working at the castle, I was working with the jousting team
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and they put on a jousting show.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So, although I was in the show, I was more of a stage hand in the show, helping out,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44cos the knights, they tend to have a tantrum if they don't win
0:10:44 > 0:10:47and they throw their weapons all over the place.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, it's my job to clean up after them and the horses.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- You make it sound such fun, Tom! - LAUGHTER
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It is. No, I make it sound like hard work, but it's not.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- And it's a brilliant laugh. - Excellent.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- And look - look what came of it. - Yeah, a beautiful romance. - Aw! Fantastic.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Now, then, Ro. Madonna?- Yeah, OK.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Um, all of the ones that I wanted have gone.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Um, but... And this is a wild, wild guess
0:11:09 > 0:11:11because I think these words are in the song.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15So, I'm going to say Ray Of Light.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Ray Of Light. What do you think, Tom?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- That's better than what I was thinking of. - OK, yep, Ray Of Light.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Ray Of Light.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's right. Well done, Ro.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Ooh, down it goes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:3514. Best score so far.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37APPLAUSE
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- 14 for Ray Of Light. - Great work, Ro. Well played.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Number two single from 1998. - Thank you very much, indeed, Richard.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores as they stand.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Best score of that pass was yours, Ro.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Ro and Tom looking pretty strong on 14.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Then, up to 20, where we find Naomi and Rachel.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Up to 37, where Ann Marie and Mags currently reside.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And then, up to 79, where it's Dave and Bill.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Bill, we need a really low score from you
0:12:02 > 0:12:04if you're to stay in the game.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05We'll come back down the line.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13OK, we're looking for Madonna singles with three-words titles.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Tom, you're on 14. This is a fantastic position to be in.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The high scorers, on 79, are Bill and Dave.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21If you can score 64 or less,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23you step through to the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27So, Tom, my brother once went to a jousting thing at Warwick Castle.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28He took his family.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31And...and they decided he was a slave.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36So, he was brought out, and he had to spend all afternoon doing all the things that you said,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and they called him "Slave" and his kids all laughed at him.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41At least I get called "Mr Slave".
0:12:41 > 0:12:44He didn't get any of that. None of that preferential treatment.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- What do you do, Tom? - I've just started a PhD programme up in Sheffield.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- In what? On what?- Into renewable energy, actually, yes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52So, biomass gasification.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56So, looking to produce hydrogen from wood and from coal.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58So, Tom, what are you going to go for?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Uh, well, this is very tough.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I only had one or two and they've already been said.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Now, I remember a music video of her dressed up as a cowboy,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10so I'm going to have a complete guess
0:13:10 > 0:13:13and say, Ride, Cowboy, Ride.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16LAUGHTER
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I take it that's not a good sign.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Oh!
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I think that's a look of ecstasy on Bill's face, I think.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Um, there is your red line.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31If you get below that red line with Ride, Cowboy, Ride,
0:13:31 > 0:13:32I'll be amazed.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34But who knows? Let's see if it...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It may still be enough to get you through. You never know.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Uh, Ride, Cowboy, Ride - is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Ah!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Not a Madonna single, as it turns out,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51That takes your total up to 114, Tom.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You might still go through, thanks to Ro's excellent answer in the first pass.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58It's a wrong answer, but it's a good wrong answer, in its own way, isn't it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Now, Bill?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There you are on 79. The high scorers are Tom and Ro on 114.
0:14:05 > 0:14:0834 or less gets you through to the next round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10How are we feeling, Bill?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, I've got two. Um, well, I've got one...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14LAUGHTER
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Before we do that, I want to quickly ask you about this hive of bees that Dave left in your garden.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Yes, indeed.- How are they doing?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25They're doing very well. Dave's a very astute and...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Have you got one of the smoky things?- I borrow Dave's.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Oh, really?- They've gone into the end of the season.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So, we haven't had to do very much with them.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- OK.- But come the spring, I've already invested in the beekeeper's...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- You've got the suit.- Yes. - Very good. Very important.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Where do you go to get a beekeeper's suit?- It's called the internet.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I was going to say. Yeah.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Hope you didn't pay too much. You don't want to get stung, do you?- Oh, no.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48GROANING AND LAUGHTER
0:14:48 > 0:14:51OK, Bill, Madonna?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Yeah, as I say, um, I've got a definite
0:14:53 > 0:14:56and there's one which I thought was four words,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57but maybe the first is in parentheses.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01But I'm going to go for the definite, which is Papa Don't Preach.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Papa Don't Preach, says Bill.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK, here is your red line. 34, that represents.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09If you get below that with Papa Don't Preach, you're in round two.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Let's find out if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Papa Don't Preach.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's absolutely right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Oh-eee!
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- 41!. - APPLAUSE
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Tom and Ro, massive relief for them.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25They are through to the next round.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You are our new high scorers, Bill and Dave, on 120.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Pretty good going, though, Bill. Very well played.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Another number one single from 1986.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36It was from the True Blue album which sold 19 million copies worldwide.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40That's a few. Now, Mags...
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Welcome back to the show. - Thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Remind us what you do, Mags?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well, I'm a retired teacher
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and, uh, I like to socialise
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and amateur dramatics, singing.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53And I've recently taken up knitting.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Have you? - Which is quite a bit of fun.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And what sort of things have you been knitting?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01We started on something easy
0:16:01 > 0:16:05and, actually, um, the first things we've been knitting is cake.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07LAUGHTER
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Cos it's low-calorie, of course.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11And, uh...and it's fun.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16So, hang on - either I just... I just zoned out there...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- You've been knitting cake?- Cake. Yes, I actually brought you some.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Knitted cake.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- I know it won't have been eaten because you can't eat it...- OK.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- That's a relief. Yes. You've been knitting cake...- It looks quite...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- No, that sounds fun.- It's fun. It's a lot of fun, yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Very good. And have you moved on to garments yet?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Uh, sandwiches.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37LAUGHTER
0:16:38 > 0:16:40OK. Madonna singles.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Should we go for...? How are you feeling about this, Mags?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Uh, I've sort of made one up,
0:16:44 > 0:16:49but I know two of the words are correct and I sort of slipped an extra word in to make it up to...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51LAUGHTER
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You never know!
0:16:53 > 0:16:57And I'm going to say A Material Girl.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Ahh...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00HE LAUGHS
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- There could be an A that she's not pronouncing in the song.- Yeah, OK.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Who knows? Who knows? There's your red line.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11If you get below that red line, Mags, with A Material Girl, um...
0:17:11 > 0:17:12..it'd be great.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14But let's find out. A Material Girl. Is it right?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16If it is, how many people said it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Oh, no!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Bad luck. A Material Girl - an incorrect answer.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Takes your total up to 137, having scored you 100 points, the maximum score there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Richard? - Sorry, Mags. A valiant attempt.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She does sing "a material girl" in the song.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36But it's just Material Girl, I'm afraid. A number three hit.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Um, Rachel?- Hi. - Rachel, here's good news.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- You're through.- Yeah. - You're through.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Now, then, Rachel, what do you do?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm also studying for a PhD,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50but it's not quite as impressive, nor as important as...
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Hang...hang on. Don't say that. What is it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm studying for a PhD in contemporary Austrian cinema.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59LAUGHTER
0:17:59 > 0:18:02In its way, probably as good for mankind.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Well, no-one else is doing it. - Someone's got to do it, yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Um, when did you get into contemporary Austrian cinema?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well, I did a degree in German,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15and then I ended up doing my undergraduate dissertation in holocaust films,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and then that interest, it just developed from there, really.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Now, then, Rachel, Madonna? You can have a bit of fun here because...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- I...- ..you are through, come what may.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I have a feeling you might have a really good answer.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Um, it could be incorrect,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30but the ones I know have gone.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But then one just popped up in my head,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and I'm hoping it's right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I think she did a Bond one called Die Another Day.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39What a great answer that might be. Die Another Day.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41No red line for you as you're already through.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44But let's see if Die Another Day is right and how many people said it.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's absolutely right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:5114 was our lowest score, with Ray Of Light.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Die Another Day passes that comfortably, down to 2. Look at that!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- APPLAUSE - Fantastic score, Rachel. 22.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You're the only scorers in two figures.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04And very impressively in two figures two. 22 - lovely low total.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08That's a terrific answer, Rachel. Well done. From the 2002 Bond film of the same name.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Now, I know people at home will have a few of the more obscure ones on this list.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14There's still a few songs you'll know on this list.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17But there's two pointless answers and they are...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Nothing Really Matters a top ten hit.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Both of those pointless - well done if you said that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'll take you through some of the other low scorers.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Causing A Commotion would have scored you one point
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Die Another Day, the next best answer,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33so it's one of the best answers there.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Let's take a look at the top three - we've seen all three of them.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Ann Marie gave us the third biggest answer, Like A Prayer, with 37.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Dave and Bill, still in the round, but you did the double whammy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44You gave us the top two answers. Very well done.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Bill, you gave us Papa Don't Preach.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48That scored you, as you know, 41.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And up the top we've already heard Like A Virgin, 79.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So, at the end of the first round,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm afraid the pair heading home with our high score of 137
0:19:59 > 0:20:01is Mags and Ann Marie.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Oh, it's your second first-round exit as well.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I'm so sorry to say goodbye to you so soon.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Lovely having you back on the show. Thank you for coming on and playing.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Mags and Ann Marie - lovely contestants.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Well, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So, three pairs remain.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26We've got one pair very clear leaders at the end of that -
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Naomi and Rachel, fabulous low score of 22.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Very, very well done.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Now, Dave and Bill, two correct answers,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35and you were still beaten by Ride, Cowboy, Ride, there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- LAUGHTER - On the far podium.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Best of luck in this round, Tom.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I think time for you to take over some of the heavy lifting, I'd say.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Our category for round two is...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48..food and drink.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first and second?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58And the question concerns...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01.."Q" foods.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- "Q" foods, Richard.- Yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07On each pass, we're going to give you six clues to foodstuffs or drinks
0:21:07 > 0:21:10which either start with Q or contain the letter Q.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You just need to tell us what that food or drink is.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16There'll be six on each pass, there'll be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Thanks very much, indeed.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21So we are looking for food and drink whose names contain the letter Q.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23And here is our first board of six.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26HE READS
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49HE READS
0:22:02 > 0:22:03OK. There we are.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Six foodstuffs or "drinkstuffs" that contain the letter Q. Naomi?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I'm struggling a little bit.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I thought, with food and drink, I'd be really good.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Um, but I think I only know two.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20I'll have to go for the small, Asian citrus fruit
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and hope that it's a kumquat.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Kumquat, says Namoi.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said kumquat.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It's right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, it's a good one! 17 there, Naomi. Well done, indeed.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39APPLAUSE
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Another strong start from the first podium. Kumquat.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Yeah, kumquat comes from the Cantonese for "gold orange".
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Thanks very much. Now, uh, Dave?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Dave, food and drink containing a Q.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Cocktail of rum, lime juice and sugar - daiquiri.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00A daiquiri, says Dave. Ooh, I like the sound of that.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said daiquiri.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05It's right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:0717 is what you want to beat, Dave.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12And you do! It's 8!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Very well done, indeed. Daiquiri. Good work.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17APPLAUSE
0:23:17 > 0:23:18RICHARD: Well played, Dave.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Named after a rum-producing town in Cuba. Very good answer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25The man who was supposed to have come up with it was called Jennings Cox.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- He came up with the daiquiri? - Yeah, it's credited to him.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30He was an American engineer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Uh, now, then, the board is all yours, Tom.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Well, the seafood is going to be squid.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39The fruit cordial is going to be squash.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The savoury egg custard, that's a quiche.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47And the top one, I would guess at butternut squash.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52I'm going to go for the seafood known as squid.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57OK, the seafood sometimes known as calamari. Squid, says Tom.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said squid.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Yeah, that's a high score, there, Tom.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- APPLAUSE - 71.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12That is a big score, isn't it?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It's not Ride, Cowboy, Ride-size score, but it is a pretty big score.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Um, actually should have gone for either of the other ones you knew.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Squash - you were absolutely right, the fruit cordial -
0:24:21 > 0:24:24that would have scored you 46 points.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And the savoury egg custard, it was a quiche,
0:24:26 > 0:24:2832 points, would have been even better.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32And the yellow, pear-shaped fruit, it's not a butternut squash.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- ALEXANDER:- Quince, isn't it? - It is a quince. Quite a big scorer, actually.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Would have scored you 40 points.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So, the best two scores on that board were daiquiri and kumquat,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43which we had on our first two podiums - well played.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Eight the best score of that pass, Dave.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Very well done with daiquiri there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Up to 17, where Naomi and Rachel are.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Then up to 71, Tom and Ro. Now, Ro?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You'll get first pick of the next board,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01so, use it carefully and try and find a really, really low-scoring answer, if you can.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It might just be enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07We'll come back down the line. Second players, please step up to the podium?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13OK, we're going to put six more foodstuffs on the board,
0:25:13 > 0:25:14and here they are.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- We have got... - HE READS
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39HE READS
0:25:52 > 0:25:56There we are - Six foodstuffs or drinks,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59all of them containing the letter Q.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Ro, you're the high scorers on 71.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- So, we need a low score, remember. - OK.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Um...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I think I'm going to take a bit of a risk.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm going to go for
0:26:11 > 0:26:14classic French dish of chicken braised in red wine
0:26:14 > 0:26:17and say coq du vin.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Coq du vin. OK. No red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Let's see if coq du vin is right.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Ohhh! - No!
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I'm sorry, Ro. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Scores you the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 171.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Richard?- Yes, sorry, Ro.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass, in case anyone else wants to have a go at that question.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Bill...
0:26:44 > 0:26:45That's taken the pressure off.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think I'll go for something
0:26:47 > 0:26:51which, uh, Dave and I have allegedly sampled a few times,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53which is a Mexican sprit
0:26:53 > 0:26:54called tequila.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Allegedly? You have no memory at all.- No.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Not before 10 o'clock in the morning, anyway.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Tequila, says Bill.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05There you are, on eight. No red line for you as you're already through.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said tequila.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10He's right.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- 70.- Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:18That scores you 70, which takes your total up to 78.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Yeah, a big score, isn't it, for tequila?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Uh, everyone likes a bit of tequila, don't they, lads, I think is the truth.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Now, then, Rachel, you're through. - Yeah.- You're through.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30You've also got the board to play with,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32so you can talk us through it, if you like.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm doing all right with them, I think. I'm good with food and drink.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Um, don't know the top one.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Um, I think the classic French dish of chicken braised in red wine
0:27:40 > 0:27:43may be coq au vin, instead of du vin, maybe.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44I don't know.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Thick soup often made with lobster I think is bisque.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I think bunch of mixed herbs added to soup or stews
0:27:50 > 0:27:52is something like a "bo-kay" or bouquet.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'm going to go for the blue cheese made from sheep's milk
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and aged in limestone caverns and take a guess at Roquefort.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01OK, Roquefort, you're going to say, for the blue cheese aged in limestone caverns.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07No red line for you as you are already through.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Absolutely right.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Nine!
0:28:17 > 0:28:18You've done it again, nine!
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Takes it up to 26.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Roquefort, Rachel, well done. It's actually the lowest score on the board as well.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29A very, very good answer. Just take you through the rest of these. It beats the top one.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Do you know the top one?- Quinoa. - Quinoa is right.
0:28:32 > 0:28:3316 points. There you go.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36You're right, the classic French dish, it is coq au vin, I'm afraid.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41And I think, cos it's so well known, we couldn't accept coq du vin. I'm sorry about that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Would have scored 38 points, so would have seen you knocked out anyway.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Um, the thick soup, you're right, is a "beesk" or a bisque.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- That would have scored you 37 points. And do you know the bunch of mixed herbs?- Bouquet garni.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Bouquet garni - absolutely right. And that would have scored 26 points.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Very well done if you got all of those at home.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Thanks very much, indeed.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading home with our high score of 171,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Ro and Tom.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Oh, you were one letter away.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I think we had the wrong round, cos he speaks fluent French.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11So, I'm in loads of trouble now.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Well, you've each scored 100 points. So, there you are.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17That balances up. Well, it's been lovely having you on the show. See you again next time.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Look forward to that very much, indeed. Ro and Tom, thanks a lot for playing.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22APPLAUSE
0:29:22 > 0:29:24For the remaining pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Well, congratulations, Naomi and Rachel, Dave and Bill.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:29:38 > 0:29:40£4,000.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42APPLAUSE
0:29:43 > 0:29:46So, now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:29:46 > 0:29:48and go through to the Pointless Final.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50So, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56And the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play head-to-head.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01APPLAUSE
0:30:03 > 0:30:06OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:30:06 > 0:30:09actors in Hitchcock films.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Actors in Hitchcock films, Richard.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15We're going to show you five stills, now, from films directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20You just need to tell us the name of the actor you see in each still, please. The very best of luck.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five stills, and here they come. We have got...
0:30:46 > 0:30:49There we are - five stills from five Hitchcock films.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Naomi and Rachel, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54so you get to go first.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57SHE WHISPERS
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- NAOMI:- I don't know any.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05THEY WHISPER
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- RACHEL:- We're not good at Hitchcock. I'm just going to go...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I know that Anthony Perkins was in Psycho and I know E's from Psycho,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14but I'm just going to go C, Anthony Perkins.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18C, Anthony Perkins, say Naomi and Rachel. C, Anthony Perkins.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Dave and Bill?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23- BILL:- B is Sean Connery.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I might disagree with the girls on C.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28D is Tippi Hedren.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- DAVE:- E is, uh... - Uh, Janet Leigh.- Janet Leigh.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Is it Janet Leigh?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Jamie Lee Curtis's mum. - I don't think it's Janet.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41As there's a disagreement about her first name, let's go for Tippi Hedren.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Tippi Hedren. And which one are you saying is that?- D.- D.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46D, Tippi Hedren.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48OK, so, Naomi and Rachel have gone for Anthony Perkins.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- You're not entirely confident, are you?- Not at all. - Let's find out if it's right.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54It could still be. Let's find out if it's right.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56If it is, let's see how many people say Anthony Perkins.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Ooh! No, bad luck. Bad luck. Not Anthony Perkins.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Which means, Dave and Bill, you merely have to be correct with Tippi Hedren.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Tippi Hedren, of course, you've said is D.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12But "Is it right?" is the key one.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yes, it is. Very well done.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Nicely done, Dave and Bill. You've broken their serve.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Yeah, very well played. Tippi Hedren from The Birds there.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36And, A, Kim Novak, from Vertigo.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39She would have scored you nine points. Would have been a very good answer.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Now, B you thought was Sean Connery.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Xander, who do you think that is? - He looks like Sean Connery but... - It is Sean Connery.- Is it?!
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Yeah, he was in Marnie. It would have been a big score, though.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51A lot of people at home got it as well.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Would have scored you 69 points. - There you are.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Now, C - not Anthony Perkins. Perfectly good guess. Guys, do you know that one?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Gregory Peck.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01It is Gregory Peck in Spellbound, yes.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04He would have scored you 32 points.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06And E, I think you knew.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08You didn't go for it cos you went for Tippi Hedren -
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Janet Leigh from Psycho.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12She would have scored you 29.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18And, Dave and Bill, you get to go first this time.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20It concerns...
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Brazil.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Richard?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27We're going to show you five clues now to facts about Brazil and Brazilians,
0:33:27 > 0:33:28um, if you know what I mean?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31We would like you to give us... LAUGHTER
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Come on. Come on, everyone...
0:33:34 > 0:33:38It's tea time. We'd like you to give us the most obscure answer, please. Very best of luck.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Thanks very much, indeed. OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Brazil and Brazilians.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45And here they come. We have got...
0:33:45 > 0:33:48HE READS
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05HE READS
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Now, then, Dave and Bill,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21you go first this time.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23THEY WHISPER INDISTINCTLY
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- BILL:- Formula One.- DAVE:- You want to go Formula One?- Yeah.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31We'll go or the three-time Formula One champion, "A-y-rton" Senna.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Ooh, I like "A-y-rton" Senna.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37"A-y-rton" Senna, say Dave and Bill.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Uh, Naomi and Rachel, what are you going to go for?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44We know that the country's official language is Portuguese.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- RACHEL:- And the city in which Copacabana Beach is located, you think it's Rio, don't you?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Just cos it's one of the only cities in Brazil that I know.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55So, I'd go Portuguese.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Portuguese - country's official language.- OK.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Country's official language, Portuguese.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02So, we have Ayrton Senna and we have Portuguese.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Dave and Bill have said Ayrton Senna,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07the three-time Formula One champion and subject of the 2010 documentary.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Ayrton Senna.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13It's right.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- 37. - APPLAUSE
0:35:21 > 0:35:23What do we think, Dave and Bill?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- 37. Could have gone lower, couldn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Is that going to beat Portuguese?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Naomi and Rachel have said Portuguese is the official language.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Portuguese.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37It's right.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40To keep you in the game, it's got to go lower than 37.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Ooh, 41!- Oh, what?!
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Ooh!
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- APPLAUSE - 41.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Very well done, Dave and Bill.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51You are through to the final in straight sets.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- After two questions, you're through two-nil. - RICHARD: Unlucky, Naomi and Rachel.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57The other answer you were going to go for, Copacabana Beach,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00would have just made it worse cos it would have scored 39 points.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It would have been even closer.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Number of World Cups they've won - does anyone know that?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Five.- Five times is right. Yeah.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10That would have been a good score. Would have scored you 16 points.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11And the best answer on the board,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13the singer famed for The Girl From Ipanema?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Astrud Gilberto.- Astrud Gilberto. Absolutely.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18That would have scored you one point,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20so terrifically well done if you got that at home.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Thank you very much, indeed.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26So, I'm afraid, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, Naomi and Rachel,
0:36:26 > 0:36:30you've been fantastic the whole way through the show. Low score after low score.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34And then you come into the head-to-head round, I'm afraid we gave you Hitchcock films,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36which wasn't possibly your favourite category.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Anyway, we'll see you again next time,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and on the evidence of your performance today,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42we can be sure you'll do as well, if not better.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Thanks very much for playing. Naomi and Rachel.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47APPLAUSE
0:36:47 > 0:36:50But for Dave and Bill, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Congratulations, Dave and Bill.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00You fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:37:08 > 0:37:11and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- There we are. - APPLAUSE
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Oh, we so nearly came unstuck
0:37:17 > 0:37:18in that first Madonna round.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Oh! Just imagine!
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Oh, but then you clawed it back, you clawed it back, with the food and drink with Q.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28You went with tequila. And then two-nil in the head-to-head, which was fantastic,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32with your Hitchcock stars and your Brazil and Brazilians question.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33So, very, very well done.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Now, as always, you need to choose a category for this final round. And your choices are...
0:37:47 > 0:37:52- Veteran crooners.- Veteran crooners. - Veteran crooners it is. OK, that's what you've gone for. Richard?
0:37:52 > 0:37:57We are looking for UK top 40 singles by any of the three following artists.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01So, any UK top 40 single up to the end of October 2013, by...
0:38:09 > 0:38:13So, any UK top 40 single by...
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Very best of luck, guys, and best of luck at home.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19OK, now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers
0:38:19 > 0:38:23and all you need to win that jackpot is just one pointless answer.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Now, remember, the answers you provide can come from any of these three categories.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Are you ready?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- BILL:- So, Perry Como - Magic Moments?- Yep.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- What Did Delaware, I think.- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Um, And I Love You So.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- I'm glad we picked this category. - Um...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Tony Bennett?- Tony Bennett? San Francisco's the only...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- I Left My Heart In San Francisco. - I Left My Heart In San Francisco.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Yeah. Frankie Vaughan.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00# Friends... # No?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- LAUGHTER - Something like that, wasn't it?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04He may have sung something called Black Gold.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07So...
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Frankie Vaughan.- Frankie Vaughan.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15He may have sung something called Black Gold.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I don't think we're going to get any closer than that, Alexander.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- OK, are you happy to stop the clock, then?- Yeah.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24OK. We'll stop the clock. Now, give me your three answers.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27So, we're going to go for...
0:39:27 > 0:39:30..What Did Delaware?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31What Did Delaware?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- By Perry Como.- By Perry Como.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35And I Love You So.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- And I Love You So by... - By Perry Como.- ..Perry Como.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41And this is not sure at all - Black Gold by Frankie Vaughan.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Black Gold by Frankie Vaughan.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Now, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Delaware.- What Did Delaware? - What Did Delaware, we'll put last.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- Which is your least likely to be Pointless?- Black Gold. I'm not sure it's right.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Black Gold by Frankie Vaughan goes first. Let's pop those answers on the board.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58And here they are. We have got...
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Well, three perfectly plausible-looking answers up there on the board.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Who's to say one of them mightn't be pointless?
0:40:08 > 0:40:13And if it were, Dave, you'd be leaving with £4,000 between you. What would you do with your share?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Holiday, booked, Florida.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- With the rods?- With the rods.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Bill?
0:40:20 > 0:40:24I think our wives put with quite a lot with us, with our fishing trips,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27so I think, uh, trip to the spa or something like that.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Very good. OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Remember, we're looking for UK top 40 singles by Perry Como,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Tony Bennett and Frankie Vaughan.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Now, Black Gold was your least confident answer,
0:40:37 > 0:40:41but you thought it might be one of those sneaky ones that gets in there and ends up being pointless.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £4,000.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47So, Black Gold. Let's see.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50How many people thought that was a Frankie Vaughan single?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Let's see if it's correct.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Ooh, no! Bad luck!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59An incorrect answer. So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Only two more shots at today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08So, remember, we were looking for singles by Perry Como, Tony Bennett and Frankie Vaughan.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Your next answer was And I Love You So.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Let's find out if that's a correct answer
0:41:13 > 0:41:16and if it is, let's see how many people remembered I Love You So
0:41:16 > 0:41:18as a Perry Como single.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20For £4,000.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23It's right.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Well, your first answer was an incorrect answer,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28so, obviously, that scored 100 points.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Down you go. Much better this time.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Into the teens, into single figures, down it goes still...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Oh, yes, you've done it! Very well done, indeed!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Very well done indeed.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Fantastic. There we go.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46There's a fishing trip. A gold-plated bee smoker there.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Oh, fantastic. - APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Well, congratulations, Dave and Bill.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55And I Love You So. You were even humming it.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- I was singing it. - He was singing it.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02It was a pointless answer, which means you go home with that jackpot of £4,000.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Very, very well done, indeed, Dave and Bill.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07APPLAUSE
0:42:09 > 0:42:10- That was brilliant, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Well played, Dave and Bill. Those other two answers, I'll just go through them.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Black Gold, I think you were thinking of The Ballad of Black Gold
0:42:16 > 0:42:19or Blowin' Wild - the Ballad of Black Gold, by Frankie Lane.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Delaware I wouldn't have given you. The song is Delaware.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- Oh.- Oh.- It's all sorts of puns on US states.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28It would have scored you one point anyway, so it wouldn't have won you the money.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Let's look at some pointless answers in each category for people at home.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33There's And I Love You So, number three hit in 1973.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36These other three, all top ten singles as well -
0:42:36 > 0:42:38For The Good Times, Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)...
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- I would have said that, wouldn't you? - Mm-hm.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42And It's Impossible.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Let's look at the Tony Bennett top 40 singles.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Close Your Eyes and If I Ruled The World would have won you the money,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50The Very Thought Of You and Till.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52All of those were big hits and would have won you the money.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55And Frankie Vaughan - Can't Get Along Without You,
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Come Softly To Me, Hello Dolly
0:42:56 > 0:42:57and Wanderin' Eyes.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- But congratulations in the studio. Terrific.- Thank you.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Well, thanks, once again, to our winning players, Dave and Bill,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10who go away with today's jackpot of £4,000 - very well done.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12APPLAUSE
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23APPLAUSE
