0:00:18 > 0:00:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm Alison, this is my friend Ken, we're both from Northumberland.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Jim, this is my sister-in-law Aisling
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- and we're both from Birmingham. - Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, Xander, my name's Chris, this is my friend Rob, and we met
0:00:49 > 0:00:53when working together with the Royal Navy at Naples in Southern Italy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ram and this is Stephen, we're husband and wife
0:00:58 > 0:01:00and we come from Hertfordshire.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Thanks, all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So that just leaves one person for me to introduce,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13a really great guy to be around as long as you never
0:01:13 > 0:01:16address him directly, don't make eye contact and only speak to him
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- when spoken to, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hi, everybody.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Ohh.- Ohh. Afternoon.- And to you. - I think it's our 599th show today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Get out of here, is it? - Exciting, isn't it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- That went by like that! - We're only 51 away from 650.- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Going to be quite a milestone, isn't it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, I'm going to order the bunting right now.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- We've only got one returning pair from last time, Rob and Chris.- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now, Rob and Chris - both of whom were in the Navy -
0:01:47 > 0:01:51they did very well last time for three out of their four answers,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and then Rob let himself down, I'm sure he'll remind us of how.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59But they were a terrific pair, unlucky to get knocked out.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Should be a cracking show, Round One I'm looking forward to,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Round One you're going to be tested out a little bit.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Really?- Hmm.- Tested out? - A little bit.- OK.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Just have to go through the gears a little bit.- OK, good.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Thanks, Richard. As usual, all of today's questions have been asked
0:02:14 > 0:02:16to 100 people before the show,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and our contestants here are on the hunt for one
0:02:18 > 0:02:21of the all-important Pointless answers that nobody could give,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and that will add £250 to our jackpot.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Karen and Dave didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29so we add another £1,000, today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44OK, two things to remember at all times.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47First thing - for the first two rounds, the pair with the
0:02:47 > 0:02:50highest score will be eliminated at the end of the round,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and no conferring.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Our first category today is...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:12 > 0:03:13- LAUGHING:- Richard.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16You like nothing better than your French pronunciations, do you?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Love nothing better. - That's good news,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21cos we're going to show you on each board seven French words
0:03:21 > 0:03:25for items of clothing or accessories, you just need to tell us the English.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28There's going to be 14 in all for Xander to pronounce
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and for you to have a go at at home, good luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, so we're looking for the English translations of these
0:03:33 > 0:03:37items of clothing, and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I'm going to read those again.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52LAUGHTER
0:03:52 > 0:03:55HE READS ITEMS FLAMBOYANTLY
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK, now then, Alison and Ken, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and you are going to go first.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Alison, welcome to the show, from North Northumberland.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Best place in the world.- The best place in the world bar none.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- And what do you do up there, Alison?- I'm retired.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17What did you do up there?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24The last job I had before I retired permanently, I was a parcel courier.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Before that, I organised youth and community activities.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- In and around Berwick-upon-Tweed? - Wooler.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35The youth and community was around Wooler,
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- delivery was from just north of Wooler right up to Dunglass.- Wow.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- Fun though.- Oh, yes.- Now, Alison, what about all these French things?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Well, I think I'm going to go for - if I pronounce it right,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53my French teacher will kill me - les lunettes de soleil,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55which I think are sunglasses.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Let's see if that's right
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and if it is, how many of our 100 people said sunglasses.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04It's right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10APPLAUSE
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Not bad, not bad.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Yes, good start from podium one, Aviator sunglasses started to
0:05:17 > 0:05:20be used in the 1920s for pilots with sunlight,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and then they didn't become a popular fashion accessory till
0:05:23 > 0:05:26the '30s when Hollywood stars started wearing sunglasses.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Interesting. Thanks, Richard. Jim, welcome to the show.- Hi.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Great to have you here, you're from Birmingham,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34what do you do in Birmingham?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'm a transport planning consultant, so designing roundabouts
0:05:37 > 0:05:39and planning applications and stuff like that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Have you had any of your roundabouts built, Jim?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Not yet, no, that's not to say they're not going to be though.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- When I drive round it for the first time...- Ohhh.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Your very own urban clearway system, oh, that'd be amazing.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Jim, how's your French?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm not going to pronounce it, but the bottom one,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57bit of a guess, I'm going to say handbag.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04how many of our 100 people said handbag.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It is right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:1423 for le sac a main!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well played, Jim, good answer.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23They say there's a survey recently which said women
0:06:23 > 0:06:26will spend £4,000 on handbags in their lifetime.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Where did they do this survey? - Erm, I dunno...- In Knightsbridge?
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Extraordinary, wow. - I like your new man-bag, by the way.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Which one? I've got loads, like, 34.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- I love the emerald-studded leopard-skin one.- Yes, yes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45LAUGHTER Very capacious as well.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- It's like the TARDIS in there.- Is it really?- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Yeah.- There it is. That's that man-bag chat done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55LAUGHTER
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Yep. Thank you very much. Now then, Chris.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Welcome back. As Rich said, you did very well last time.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04But it was Round Two we had to say goodbye to you.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That wasn't the trajectory you were on, it looked very much
0:07:07 > 0:07:12like you were going all the way, and then along came, ahem, Rob...
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- What was the answer you gave? - Dai Petrol.- That's right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19For the name of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The current Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So you met in Naples, how long ago was that?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Er...2008 that would have been. - How long were you there?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Two-and-a-half years. - That must have been a lot of fun.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It was fantastic, out there with the wife and the family,
0:07:34 > 0:07:35kids loved it, wife loved it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I bet. Now, French, what about your French?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44I'm going to take a punt at la ceinture,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48sounds a bit like "centre", might be belt.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Let's see if that's right. Is that a complete guess?- Absolutely.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Let's find out if it's a good one. La ceinture, belt, is that right?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- It's right!- You dancer, put that there!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- CHRIS:- Hats off. - Good going, down it goes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:139 for la ceinture, I think
0:08:13 > 0:08:16somehow you must have known that, but that's a great answer.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- That is a hell of a guess.- Isn't it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20"Sounds like the centre", terrific, very well done.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24And as a navy man, do you know what a "ceinture de sauvetage" is?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26That sounds French navy, I'm not interested.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It's a life belt, so I bet you would be interested.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I would be very interested!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Thanks, Richard. Ram, welcome to the show, great to have you here.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- What do you do? - I'm a structural engineer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Wow, what sort of things do you build?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47I design hotels, leisure centres, people's house extensions...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, from small to very big.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Listen, Ram, you're the last person to have this board,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- this is your chance to show off your French.- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01So, la robe is the dress. La maillot de bain I think is dressing gown.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05La noeud papillon, this might be bit of a weird guess,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07but, like, a cape?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10And the one I want to go with
0:09:10 > 0:09:14but I think is a little bit risky is les gants, which I think is gloves,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17but I'm going to go with that because the others will be too high.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So you're going to say les gants - gloves.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Let's see if that's right
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and if it is, how many of our 100 people said gloves.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's absolutely right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Well, 9 is our low score, 21 is what you get for that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Second lowest score of the pass, Ram, very well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Well played, Ram. Do you know the Queen always wears
0:09:40 > 0:09:43nylon gloves in the evening and cotton gloves during the day?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44That's how you can tell.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48What's she do when she's on an aeroplane between zones, I wonder?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Uh, latex.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52LAUGHTER
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But she doesn't like to talk about it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01La robe, you're right, was dress.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07La maillot de bain, not a dressing gown, do you know?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- It's a swimming costume, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Le noeud papillon, well, papillon is butterfly,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18but it's not a cape, can you work it out?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- It's a bow tie.- A bow tie, yeah.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23The shape, I guess, giving you the clue there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- So that's the best answer, well done if you said that.- Thanks, Richard.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:29 > 0:10:319 the best score of that pass, Chris and Rob
0:10:31 > 0:10:33once again stamping their mark on this game.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Lovely low score.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Then we travel up to 21, where we find Ram and Stephen, up to 23,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42where we find Jim and Aisling, and then up to 54, Alison and Ken.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You're not miles out in front, but significantly in front,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48so, Ken, we need a brilliant answer. How's your French?
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- I dropped it when I was 13. - Pick it up again - now, quickly!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Best of luck with that, Ken. We're going to come back down the line,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Let's put seven more items of clothing on the board,
0:11:04 > 0:11:05and here they come.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'll read those one last time.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Remember, looking for the English translations,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Stephen, and you're going to try and find the one
0:11:31 > 0:11:32the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- You're on 21, Stephen.- Yeah. - This is not bad.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37The high-scorers are Ken and Alison on 54,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41so 32 or less sees you into the next round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Stephen, what do you do?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I'm a mechanical engineer, so...similar fields,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49but I look at heating, ventilation...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51How's your French?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I think I know a couple, but I'm going to go with la jupe,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57and say skirt.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01La jupe, is that skirt?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06There's your red line, get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10It's absolutely right.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Very well done indeed, down you go to 13.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Second best score so far, Stephen, takes your total up to 34.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Well played, Stephen, very solid on that last platform.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31Thank you, Richard. Rob, how's it all going this time round?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Dai Petrol, we've forgotten about.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36It's something that will haunt me now, to my dying day.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Well, it was a good answer, it was a good wrong answer,
0:12:39 > 0:12:40if you're going to have a wrong answer,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43you might as well have one that's going to amuse everyone.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Didn't amuse me.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Actually, it was very good tactics, I think
0:12:47 > 0:12:49you knew exactly what you were doing,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Justin Welby was on the top of your tongue,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53but you knew the jackpot would be bigger,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56so you thought you'd throw it - come back one game later.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- That's exactly it. - And here you are.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Storming to a commanding lead, 9 points.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05The high-scorers are on 54, you're 44 behind them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Score 44 or less, essentially is what I'm saying,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and you're in the next round.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- How's your French, Rob? - My Welsh is better, I must admit.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18But they're related, Pays de Galles and all that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21But, yeah, Italian would have been better as well,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24but I'm going to go safe on this one,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26and la pantalon - trousers.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Rob, here's your red line, get below that, you're in the next round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Let's see if le pantalon can get Rob below that red line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Eeh, look at that, that's very safe!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Oh, the trousers went long.- Wow.
0:13:47 > 0:13:5180 that scored you, takes your total up to 89.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Let's hope that's enough to see you through, Rob.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56That's a big score, going to make the
0:13:56 > 0:13:57rest of the round very interesting.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00If you live in Sussex, you have to put your trousers on
0:14:00 > 0:14:02right leg first, cos it prevents toothache.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04But if you live in Shropshire,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07you have to put them on left leg first, it's bad luck otherwise.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09LAUGHTER
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Everywhere else, you take your pick, but those two places?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- You be very careful.- Toothache? A bit specific, isn't it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Do they say which part of the mouth, is it a molar giving you trouble?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19They're very bright people down in Sussex,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22if they say "put your trousers on right first
0:14:22 > 0:14:24"otherwise you get toothache", then that's what happens.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27LAUGHTER
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Now, Aisling.- Hello. - Welcome to the show, Aisling.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36You are Jim's sister-in-law, who's married to who?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39He's married to my sister Shauna.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Right, and Shauna wasn't up to Pointless, did you think, Jim?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48I've got to be careful what I say, uh, she couldn't make it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But you and Aisling have decided between you that you would
0:14:50 > 0:14:54come on as the team. Aisling, what do you do?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I work as a project assistant at my local hospital,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00so I work in service improvement, working with patients
0:15:00 > 0:15:04and staff to try and improve things in the hospital.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Nice thing to be doing, improving things in a hospital.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11You're on 23, the high-scorers on 89, Rob and Chris,
0:15:11 > 0:15:1365 or less keeps you in the game.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15How's your French?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I do know a couple of them, but again, it's that age-old
0:15:18 > 0:15:21"which one is going to be lower?" Two particular ones...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You going to go for le justaucorps?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25That...no.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26LAUGHTER
0:15:26 > 0:15:31I think I'm going to go for le chapeau, and hat.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK, there's your red line, get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Let's find out if le chapeau is the hat,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:4943, very well done,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51takes you through, takes your total up to 66.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- That's a good answer, isn't it? - It is. Thank you, Richard.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Ken, there you are on 54, you were the high-scorers - no longer.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07High-scorers now, Rob and Chris, 89, which means 34 or less
0:16:07 > 0:16:09keeps you in the game, this is actually very exciting.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Take a look at that board, Ken,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12you can talk us through it all if you can.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Le justaucorps means keeping the body in order, I think,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so it sounds like a corset. Le chausettes...
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Underpants? La chemise, a shirt. Le manteau, an overcoat.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm going to go mad and go for le justaucorps - corset.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35There's your red line, get below that, you are in Round Two.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Let's find out if le justaucorps is a corset.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44No, bad luck!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Oh, bad luck, Ken, I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51that scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 154.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55That was a properly risky play as well, very gutsy.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59A corset, or a bodice, you're right about the form
0:16:59 > 0:17:03of words, it's about keeping the body together, it's actually a leotard.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Would have been a terrific score as well, five points,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10named after the acrobat Leotard.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Funny enough, a couple of the ones you did know would have seen you
0:17:13 > 0:17:15through to the next round, la chemise is shirt,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18that would only have scored you 26.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21And le manteau, you're absolutely right, a coat or overcoat,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23would have scored you 21.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Both of those would have seen you through to the next round.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- La chausettes is... AISLING:- Socks.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36So leotard the best answer up there, well done if you said that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- That was a big play, wasn't it? - Yeah, wasn't it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42To go for le justaucorps, but I like...he showed his working.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's admirable, very much looking forward to them
0:17:45 > 0:17:48coming back for the next show, cos that's the way to play the game.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54the pair who'll be leaving us, with their high score of 154,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Ken and Alison.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00But, as Richard said, punchy play, we salute you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02We look forward to your return, when we're sure you'll do
0:18:02 > 0:18:05much better, but meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Ken and Alison.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20So three pairs remain, obviously we'll be losing another pair
0:18:20 > 0:18:24at the end of this round in time for the head-to-head, I wonder which.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Rob and Chris, you're putting us through the mill!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Sorry, no - Rob, you're putting Chris through the mill!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33What are you doing, "pantalon"?!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37You said you were going safe, that was too safe.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43- Chris, you really looked so cross. - I love Ken.- I bet you do now, yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44More than I love...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeah, you've forgotten his name, Rob.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Ram and Stephen, very well done, our low-scorers there.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Exceptionally well-played. And Jim and Aisling, no mean feat either.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Pretty good all around, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07who's going to go second.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Richard.- Yeah, in the UK in 2013 there are 69 cities,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and around about 25 of those have got nine letters or more.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39That's what we're looking for, and only cities with one word,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42so for example, Newcastle-upon-Tyne or Stoke-on-Trent wouldn't count.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Any one-word British cities with nine or more letters, very best of luck.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Thank you, Richard. Now then, Aisling.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't know if this is a bit risky...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Let's hope it's risky cos it might not be a city,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57rather than not having nine letters.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00In a way it's risky - Londonderry?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07how many of our 100 people said it - Londonderry.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Absolutely right, great answer, Aisling, very well done.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18That's a wonderful score, 7, look at that!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Very well done, 7.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- For Londonderry.- Great start, Aisling, also known as Derry,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28which wouldn't count cos it's only five letters.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31And London wouldn't count either cos it's six letters,
0:20:31 > 0:20:32but put them together - bingo!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Now then, Rob, cities with nine letters or more.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You know what you have to do.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44You not only have to get it right, you have to do it so well
0:20:44 > 0:20:48that Chris instantly forgives you everything you've done so far.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51More in the sort of Dai Petrol, pantalon range.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well, I'm going to go naval on this one,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00shipped out of this city quite a few times on my submarine - Portsmouth.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Let's see if Portsmouth is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09It's right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Well, 7 is our only score so far.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Will it go above or below that? 20 for Portsmouth.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17APPLAUSE
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Yes, very good answer, Rob, well played.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23First league game played under floodlights
0:21:23 > 0:21:25was played in Portsmouth in 1956.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27They lost.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Nothing's changed.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Well, Rob said that, not me, to any Portsmouth fans out there.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- That was outrageous, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40All this anti-Portsmouth stuff, extraordinary.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41I like all football teams equally.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45If ever I say anything about a football team,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Twitter just goes nuts.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50"I can't believe you had a go at Derby County."
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- You didn't do that, did you? - I don't think I did. I love Derby.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Of course you do. Nearly as much as you love every other football team.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I love all of them absolutely equally,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04apart from Fulham who are the best.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08And I hate Chelsea. LAUGHTER
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Now then, Ram.- I'm a bit nervous about it not being a city.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I'm nervous about anything I would submit as a city.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19OK, I'm just going with it. Blackburn?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Oh, no!- Blackburn, says Ram. - It's a town, isn't it? Oh, God.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Shall we find out?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26It could go either way.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Blackburn, is it a town, is it a city, has it got nine letters?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I'm sure it has, I'll take Ram's word for that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm sure she wouldn't have submitted it if it had fewer than nine.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Let's find out if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Noooo! Ram, bad luck, I'm sorry.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It's an incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yes, sorry, Ram, just a town I'm afraid.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It does give me an opportunity to say
0:22:53 > 0:22:55how much I like Blackburn Rovers though.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56LAUGHTER
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- You do like them. - Terrific team. I wish them well.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We are halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:05 > 0:23:087 the best score of that pass, Aisling, for Londonderry.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11And what a range this scoreboard now has.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13We travel up to 20 where we find Rob and Chris,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16then up to 100 where we find Ram and Stephen.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Who knows what will happen in the next pass.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Stephen may have a brilliant answer and maybe
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Jim or Chris might have an aberration. We'll see.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK, we are going to come back down the line now.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33OK, so we are looking for UK cities whose names contain nine or more
0:23:33 > 0:23:38letters. Stephen, have you got some good answers up your sleeve?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42I have a few. I don't think they are going to be good enough.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45But I can't think of anything risky enough to chance it either,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48so I am going to go with Sheffield.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Sheffield, says Stephen.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Let's see if Sheffield is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55There's no red line for you as you are our high scorers
0:23:55 > 0:23:56but let's see if it is right.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It is right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:0521.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07APPLAUSE
0:24:07 > 0:24:1021 takes your total up to 121.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Yeah, good answer, Sheffield.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Did you know Brooklyn Bridge is made of Sheffield steel?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- I didn't know that. - That is quite cool.- That's nice.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Chris. Yes, yes. Chris.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Great news, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Stephen
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- and Ram on 121. This is good news. - It is very good news.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- But let's show Rob some good answers, or a good answer.- OK.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I'm going to stay in the area, because I live in Portsmouth,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41so he has stolen my answer, I'm going to stay in the area
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- and I am going to say Chichester. - Chichester. Let's find out.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Is it a city, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Ooh, it's right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Very well done.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Oh, 4, the best score so far, Chris.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01APPLAUSE
0:25:01 > 0:25:0524 your total, very well done indeed.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's a good answer, isn't it? He's very bright, Chris.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11The Cathedral is over 900 years old, the cathedral in Chichester,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and very rarely, with the Navy guys on, can be seen from the sea.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16There are very few that can.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Now then, Jim. Cities.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22You've had a lot of time to think of cities with nine or more letters.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Too much time.- Almost too much.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I did geography at uni so everybody assumes you know capital cities,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31countries and stuff, so the pressure's on.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- But I'm going to play safe and stay home and say Birmingham.- Birmingham.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Birmingham, says Jim. No red line for you as you are already through
0:25:39 > 0:25:42but let's see if it's right and how many people said Birmingham.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's absolutely right, of course.
0:25:47 > 0:25:4967. Big city, big score.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Takes your total up to 74, Jim.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55That really is playing it safe, isn't it, Jim?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It's actually the second-highest scorer on the poll, Birmingham.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00We'll take a look at the highest in a moment.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02There's no Pointless answers at all.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04In fact, the best score up there is 3 points
0:26:04 > 0:26:06so Chichester was a brilliant answer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10But let's take a look at the best answer of all, which was Lichfield.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Very well done if you said Lichfield. It would have scored three points.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16And Wakefield and Chelmsford, Chelmsford one of the newest cities,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18both would have scored you 4.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19I'll go through some of the others,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'll know you'll all have different ones at home.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Lancaster and Westminster both would have scored you 5 points.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28You would have got 5 for Peterborough and Worcester.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Gloucester would have scored 7 points.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31You would have got 8 for Salisbury.
0:26:31 > 0:26:369 for Inverness or Wolverhampton. And then the top three.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Edinburgh would have scored you 61.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42We just heard Birmingham from Jim scored 67. Top of the list?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Manchester. 75 points. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50At the end of our second round, the pair who will be leaving us
0:26:50 > 0:26:54with their high score of 121, they were our lowest scorers in the first round.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Then Stephen and Ram, oh, dear, Blackburn did for you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00But the good news is we'll see you again next time.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02On the evidence of this show, you will do very well indeed.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Thanks very much, Stephen and Ram. - APPLAUSE
0:27:08 > 0:27:12But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Congratulations, Rob and Chris, Jim and Aisling.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,250.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:28 > 0:27:31So we have to decide who is going to play for that money
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and to do that you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35This time you are allowed to confer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37The first player to win two questions will be
0:27:37 > 0:27:39playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both players.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44APPLAUSE
0:27:47 > 0:27:50OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Piano players, Richard.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We're going to show you five pictures
0:27:57 > 0:27:59of musical artists famous for playing the piano or keyboard.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Can you name the most obscure of these five?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Let's reveal our five pianists and here they are. We have got:
0:28:25 > 0:28:27There we are, five piano players.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Now, Rob and Chris, you played best throughout the show so far
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- so you get to go first.- OK, so E is Rick Wakeman, isn't it?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Yes, it is.- At last we agree on something.- We do.- Superb.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Thank you, Xander, we are going to go for E, Rick Wakeman.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45E, Rick Wakeman.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Very good. Now, Jim and Aisling, the board is all yours.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50You can talk us through it if you like.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- A, I think, is Alicia Keys. B... - Liberace.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- C is the ABBA man, I think. - The ABBA man!- As he is known. Yep.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02D...
0:29:02 > 0:29:08- That is what we are going to go for. - We think D is Tom Odell?- Tom Odell.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Tom Odell. So we have Rick Wakeman versus Tom Odell.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Rob and Chris said Rick Wakeman.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16In fact, Rob, I think you said Rick Wakeman?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Let's see if that was a good call.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Rick Wakeman for E,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21is it right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Absolutely right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- APPLAUSE - 21.
0:29:36 > 0:29:3921 for Rick Wakeman, very good indeed.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Now, Jim and Aisling, you have said Tom Odell for D.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- How certain are you of that? - Jim is more certain than me.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Is that right, Tom Odell, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52It is right!
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Very well done indeed, look at that, down it goes, 2!
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Very well done, Tom Odell. Surely the best answer on that board?
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Which means, after one question, Jim and Aisling, you are up 1-0.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11That was a terrific answer,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13and it is the best answer on the board, as you say.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16He won the BRITS Critics Choice Award in 2013, Tom Odell.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21- Can you name Rick Wakeman's most famous band?- He played on Hunky Dory?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- He also played on Lou Reed's first album.- Did he really?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25- Amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2921 points for him. A, you are right, is Alicia Keys.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32She would have scored you 30 points.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Liberace, you are right as well, he is a big scorer,
0:30:34 > 0:30:3663 points for Liberace.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42And C, everyone knows that C is the ABBA man, what's his name?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45He is Benny Andersson.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46And he would have scored 8 points.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Everyone knows the group he is in but only eight people can name him.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52But Tom Odell is a terrific answer, so well played.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Rob and Chris, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- CHUCKLING:- Mrs Beeton's Mock Turtle Soup.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Yeah, what's your point?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I make no point, friend.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14In Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16she published a recipe for Mock Turtle Soup.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18We're going to show you five lines from that recipe,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21but one of the words only has its first letter.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Can you tell us what the word that is missing is, please?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27OK, so let's reveal our lines from Mrs Beeton's Mock Turtle Soup
0:31:27 > 0:31:29recipe, and here they are:
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59There we are, Mock Turtle Soup, according to Mrs Beeton's recipe.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Now, Jim and Aisling, you go first.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03THEY WHISPER
0:32:10 > 0:32:12OK, the chopped one, a few chopped mushrooms?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16You want to say mushrooms for the top one. When obtainable, mushrooms.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Sounds fair enough.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Rob and Chris, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24We're having a bit of a debate about this.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29We think cayenne, salt and maybe either mint or mace to taste.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32The bottle we think is Madeira.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Ham, obviously, and lemon thyme.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37We're going to go for a quarter bottle of Madeira.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40A quarter bottle of Madeira say Rob and Chris.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43So we have mushrooms and we have Madeira.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Jim and Aisling went mushrooms.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Let's see if that's right
0:32:46 > 0:32:49and if it is how many of our 100 people said mushrooms.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50It's right.
0:32:55 > 0:32:5719.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59APPLAUSE
0:33:01 > 0:33:0219 for mushrooms.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Rob and Chris have gone for a quarter bottle of Madeira.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Madeira.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Yes, it's right. Very well done.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Ooh!
0:33:22 > 0:33:2425.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- That's surprising.- It is.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Which means, Jim and Aisling, very well done to you, after only
0:33:30 > 0:33:32two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I agree, I'm surprised by that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Even worse news, your other two answers are right
0:33:36 > 0:33:39and would have given you an extra point. It is lemon thyme.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41That would have scored you 16 points.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44And cayenne, salt and what would you have gone for, do you think?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- BOTH:- Mace.- Mace is the right answer, yes.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Would have scored 5 points.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51So that's the best answer up there.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53You're right about ham as well but that's the biggest scorer there.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55That would have scored you 65 points.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58But surprising, isn't it, Madeira and mushrooms.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Thank you very much indeed, so I am afraid the pair leaving us
0:34:01 > 0:34:05at the end of the head-to-head round is Rob and Chris. What a shame.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09A real turnaround, this game, as we were expecting.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- It has been great having you on both shows.- Thank you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Thank you very much for playing, Rob and Chris, great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:34:18 > 0:34:21But for Jim and Aisling, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Congratulations, Jim and Aisling,
0:34:27 > 0:34:28you have fought off all the competition
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:38 > 0:34:44At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:49You have done so well.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50You've had your French words,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53you've had your cities of nine letters or more,
0:34:53 > 0:34:58you had piano players, we've had Mrs Beeton's Mock Turtle Soup,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- we've really put you through all sorts.- It was a crazy one.- Yeah.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04And here you are at the end of it, fantastic. Very well done indeed.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Now, as always, you have to start this round off by choosing
0:35:06 > 0:35:09the category you want to answer on and here are your options.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11We have:
0:35:19 > 0:35:25Oh, it's tricky. I know a bit, I could try, not as much as you.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28What do you think? I think we said before that
0:35:28 > 0:35:30if football came up with go with football, so...
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- We'll go for football.- Agreed? OK, FIFA World Cups.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- OK, here we are. Richard.- We're going to give you three options now.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42We are looking for any of the stadiums or stadia which have
0:35:42 > 0:35:46hosted a World Cup final from 1982 all the way through to 2010.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49We are looking for any player who's been given a red card
0:35:49 > 0:35:53in any World Cup finals game from 1982 to 2010,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56that is the whole World Cup finals, not just the final match.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Or any African nation that has taken part in a World Cup finals
0:36:00 > 0:36:01since 1982.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04So any of the stadia used for the final, any red-carded player
0:36:04 > 0:36:08or African nation that has taken part in a World Cup since 1982.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Very, very best of luck.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Now, as always, you've got up to a minute
0:36:12 > 0:36:15to come up with three answers, and to win that jackpot, £2,250,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18all you need to do is to find one Pointless answer.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Also remember the answers you give
0:36:20 > 0:36:21can come from any of these categories.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24You can have all three from one category, if you like,
0:36:24 > 0:36:26or one from each, two from one, one from another,
0:36:26 > 0:36:28it is entirely up to you. Are you ready?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36I think we should go for African nations.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Central African Republic!
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Red card, Beckham got sent off.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43What about Roy Keane, did he ever get a red card,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45because I imagine if he played he would.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- He walked out of the World Cup.- OK.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- So you want to go for African nations.- I think so.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Do you know any?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Yeah. If we go for...
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Just say some quick.- Erm...
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- Ivory Coast.- What about stadia? Surely you know some stadia.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- They've all gone blank. - OK, African nations then.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Which ones?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10If we go for...
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Is it just any that have been in it? - Any that have been in it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:25- Senegal, they've been in it. Senegal.- 10 seconds left.- And Mali?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- What about Burundi?- I don't think they've been in it.- And Mali.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35- Go for Mali, Senegal and... - OK, that is your time up.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I now need your three answers.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39What are you going to go for and which category are you answering in?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- We'll do the African nations. - All three African nations?- Yes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- We'll go Ivory Coast.- Ivory Coast.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Senegal.- Senegal. - And what's the other one?- Zambia.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- What was it, you just said it? - Mali.- Mali.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Of those three, which is your most likely to be Pointless?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I think Ivory Coast might be right but it won't be Pointless,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00because Didier Drogba, was it him who plays for them,
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- so a lot of people know that.- Go for Mali.- OK, Mali we'll put last.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- What is your least likely to be Pointless?- I think Ivory Coast.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Ivory Coast we will put first, OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17We have got, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Mali.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Your first answer was Ivory Coast.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26And you thought this was probably your least likely to be Pointless.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Now remember, only one of these answers has to be Pointless
0:38:28 > 0:38:31for you to win that jackpot. Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35If you were to win £2,250, what would you do with it, Aisling?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'm going on holiday with my sister, we are going to New York,
0:38:38 > 0:38:42so maybe we'd have a fun time on Fifth Avenue shopping.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Jim?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I would like to go to Vegas, and obviously, Shauna is my wife
0:38:46 > 0:38:47so gets two holidays.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Win-win either way for her.- But Vegas I would quite like to go to.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53OK, well, very best of luck.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55As I say, your first answer,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58the one you thought was least likely to be Pointless, was Ivory Coast.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Let's hope it is correct, and if it is,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02find out how many people thought Ivory Coast
0:39:02 > 0:39:06was an African nation that played in the World Cup since 1982.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11It's right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15I think we knew this was right, but quite a good way of finding out how
0:39:15 > 0:39:19much our 100 people know about the African nations in World Cup finals.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Down it goes, in single figures,
0:39:20 > 0:39:229, well done.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23APPLAUSE
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Not bad for a first answer.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29You thought, Aisling,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32even you thought that was quite a well-known team to have there.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34So unfortunately not a Pointless answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Your second answer was Senegal.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You're pretty certain that is a correct answer,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47they've been in the World Cup finals at some stage since 1982?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You think of the African Cup of Nations as well.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53If you try and think of one, you hope it is the World Cup one.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Well, fingers crossed, let's find out if it is correct,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57and if it is, let's see how many people remembered Senegal
0:39:57 > 0:40:00as a competing nation in the World Cup finals.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04It's right.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Your first answer was Ivory Coast, took us all the way down to 9.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Senegal, now taking us down
0:40:10 > 0:40:12through the 20s, through the teens,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14it passes 9...
0:40:14 > 0:40:158. Just!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17APPLAUSE
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Can't argue with the direction it's going in, this is good.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24It's going down.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28So, only one more chance to win today's jackpot of £2250.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Everything is now riding on your final answer which was Mali.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- You were pretty sure this was least likely to be correct.- Yes.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- It's a bit of a punt. - A bit of a punt.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Well, to win that jackpot, obviously, it has to be correct
0:40:40 > 0:40:43and Pointless. Let's find out for £2250,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46if Mali have played in the World Cup final since 1982.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Jim, bad luck!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Three perfectly good answers there but unfortunately,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03you didn't manage to find that all-important Pointless answer,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2250.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07That will roll over into the next time
0:41:07 > 0:41:09but we've loved having you on the show.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11And an amazing performance that in only one Pointless show
0:41:11 > 0:41:13you've made it through to the final.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each
0:41:15 > 0:41:17so very well done indeed.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Jim and Aisling.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Yeah, I think you picked the toughest of the categories there.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27There was only one Pointless answer in that category
0:41:27 > 0:41:29and there are hundreds in the red card one.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32There are so many Pointless answers. I know people will have got that.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33We'll start off with the stadia.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- Are there any you've thought of in the time?- Soccer City?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Soccer City in South Africa?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Would have just won you £2,250, I'm afraid.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Let's take a look at those Pointless answers for the stadia.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You could have had these:
0:41:49 > 0:41:52There is the Soccer City Stadium, I am so sorry.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53And the Rose Bowl in the USA.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56You could also have had the International Stadium in Yokohama.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Now on the red cards, there are so many Pointless answers.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Zola got sent off against Nigeria.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Materazzi, who of course, was involved in the Zinedine Zidane
0:42:06 > 0:42:08sending-off as well, he would have scored 13 though.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Patrick Kluivert, Thierry Henry, you could also have had
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Asamoah Gyan, Brett Emerton of Australia, you could have had,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Scottish fans will remember Craig Burley, he was a Pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Deco was a Pointless answer,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Totti, Frank Rijkaard was a Pointless answer, Harry Kewell,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24there are hundreds and hundreds of Pointless answers there.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Very well done if you said one of those at home.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29And there is only one African nation who were a Pointless answer
0:42:29 > 0:42:33and that is from the 2006 World Cup and it was...
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Angola.
