0:00:20 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Stephen, this is my wife, Ram, and we're from Hertfordshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Ken, this is Alison, my ex-boss
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and we're from North Northumberland.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Hannah, this is my mum, Lee,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're from Eastbourne in East Sussex.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Chris, I come from Portsmouth,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and this is my dad, James, who originally comes from Glasgow.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:05 > 0:01:06throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Give a man a fact and he'll look clever for a day.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Teach a man to find facts and, well,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16just look how out of hand that can get!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18He's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hiya!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hi, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- How are you?- I'm very well. - Excellent.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Show 600 today. Our 600th show.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Can you believe it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32I haven't got you anything.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34LAUGHTER
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Oh, that's a shame, because I've got you... Oh, well, I'll take it back.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40That's a shame. Actually, can you take back speedboats?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- How does that work?- I'll get you something, I'll get you something.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45HE MIMICS: I'll get you some...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48ALEXANDER MUMBLES NONSENSICALLY
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Two returning pairs today, on the first two podiums there,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Ken and Alison. Ken sort of had a kamikaze exit last time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56It was brilliant.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00He knew a couple of answers and went for a spectacularly obscure one.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03And Ram and Stephen also back, they got through to the second round.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I think it's a very open field today.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Should be a good little show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Thank you very much, Richard. Now, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:10 > 0:02:12have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Our contestants need to find
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, Jim and Aisling didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32so today's jackpot starts off at £3,250.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, now, the pair with the highest score will be
0:02:46 > 0:02:48eliminated at the end of this round.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And, remember, there is to be no conferring.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52OK, our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The Oscars. Can you all decide in your pairs,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:03:11 > 0:03:13to name as many 21st-century
0:03:13 > 0:03:16acting Oscar winners as they could.
0:03:16 > 0:03:2021st-century acting Oscar winners. Richard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Yeah, we're looking for the name of anyone who's won
0:03:22 > 0:03:24one of the four major acting categories,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27that's Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30or Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor in any of the Oscar ceremonies
0:03:30 > 0:03:32from 2001 all the way through to 2013.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36So, anyone who's won any of those four acting categories
0:03:36 > 0:03:38from the 2001 ceremony through to the 2013 ceremony.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41There's plenty of pointless answers on the list
0:03:41 > 0:03:42so very, very best of luck.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Thanks very much indeed. Richard. Now, then.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Ram and Stephen, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and today you are going to go first.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Ram, welcome back. Tell us what happened last time.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57I was debating between going for something risky and something safe.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It was Cities, with nine or more letters. And you chose a town.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I chose a town.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04And do you follow the Oscars?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Erm, yes, I've watched some of them.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I feel like I've got a good answer.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Whether or not it's low enough, but I think I've been burned
0:04:13 > 0:04:17by my first appearance, so I'm not going to go too risky.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18OK, well, best of luck.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- So, I'm going to go for Kate Winslet.- Kate Winslet.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Kate Winslet, says Ram. Let's see if that's right,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Kate Winslet.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30It's right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38There you are. 22. Very well done.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40APPLAUSE
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Good answer. Kate Winslet.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well done, Ram, she won in the 2009 ceremony, for The Reader.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Thanks very much. Now. Ken.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ken, welcome back.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Justacorps!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- The justacorps, we now know, is not a corset.- Engraved on my heart.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah. A leotard.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01From that to Oscar winners.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Do you think you've got a good answer for this?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I don't think I'd better take any risks.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And I'm not even certain of the one I'm thinking of.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13You want it now?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14LAUGHTER
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Any time in the next 45 minutes, Ken!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Gwyneth Paltrow.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Gwyneth Paltrow. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Gwyneth Paltrow.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, it's justacorps all over again, Ken!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Yes, sorry, Ken. She won an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love, of course,
0:05:38 > 0:05:43but that was 1999, that was. So just before our time frame.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Bad luck, Ken.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Good guess, though. Just out of the time frame.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Now, Hannah, welcome to the show. You brought your mum.- Yes, I did.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54That's nice! Now, whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- My idea.- And was your mum your first choice of team-mate?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, definitely my mum. She is a genius.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04She doesn't want me to say this, but she knows everything about anything.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Best person to have on a pub quiz. I'm not joking.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- So, first choice, definitely.- Very good. We're looking forward to that.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Lee, genius.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13How are you on Film?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16This is my dream category. I'm so happy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So I'm going to say Reese Witherspoon.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Reese Witherspoon.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Reese Witherspoon.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25If it's wrong, my sister's going to kill me.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26SHE GIGGLES
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Because she loves films as well, and she said we're not allowed
0:06:31 > 0:06:34to get 100, and we're not allowed to go out in the first round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36So if this is wrong, that's it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Is there a particular film you were thinking of?- Yeah, Walk The Line?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41The Johnny Cash one.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Reese Witherspoon. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You are going to survive at your sister's hand.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Three! Hannah, that's a brilliant answer!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And a commensurately low score. Very well done indeed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Three, for Reese Witherspoon.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well played, Hannah, that's a very good answer.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Blimey, if Hannah got three, imagine how well Lee's going to do!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I'm hearing Lee's a genius. - I've heard that, too, yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Yeah, she won for playing June Carter in Walk The Line, 2006,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17she won Best Actress. It's a brilliant film. Have you seen that?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Great film. Yeah, I saw it on an aeroplane, though.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Nice thing, nice to be on an aeroplane but films are never as...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I need to see it again. That's all.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Not at altitude.- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31You know it's 30 seconds longer on the ground than it is at altitude?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yeah, yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Now, then, Chris. Welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38What do you do, Chris?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39I am a primary school teacher.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I teach in year four at an inner-city school in Southampton.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- And have you been year four all the way?- No, this is my first time.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I've been in year two with the younger children,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50the previous two years, but I fancied a change this year.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Which do you prefer, so far?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Um, I like working with the younger children.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I like to do things like puppet shows and role-play and things.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02When they get a bit older, they don't appreciate it as much,
0:08:02 > 0:08:03but I am enjoying it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So year fours don't like your puppets?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well, I think they're more ashamed of admitting it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09They sort of do, but when it finishes,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12they're sort of like, "Oh, no, boring, boring."
0:08:12 > 0:08:14How many puppets have you got in your show?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Ooh, I've got about five.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Obviously two is my maximum, unless I grow a third hand. But, er...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Yeah.- So.- Who's your big character?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Well, my favourite character, I've got an old lady I just call Granny.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I wonder what the old granny sounds like, do you?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32LAUGHTER
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Sadly, she's not here...
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Oh, wait a minute!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Hang on! The creator of her is here. - We could ask him!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41We could always ask!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44This is not going to end happily, is it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47For you, no. For us, yeah, very much!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49OK, I apologise to the whole of Scotland
0:08:49 > 0:08:51for the accent I'm about to do.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Hullo! I'm here today on Pointless, and I'm about to give you
0:08:56 > 0:09:00an answer for 21st-century acting Oscar winners!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02That's not bad!
0:09:02 > 0:09:03APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I say, that's really not bad at all. I agree, that's not a bad accent.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What are you going to go for, Chris?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I've got a really risky one and a safer one, so I think I'm going
0:09:15 > 0:09:19to go for the safer one and go for The Joker, Heath Ledger.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Heath Ledger. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25It is right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:3222, our high score and three our low, well done.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Eight, for Heath Ledger. Not a bad one at all.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Richard?- Well played, Chris.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Won Best Supporting Actor, posthumously of course, in 2009.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Only the second actor to receive a posthumous Oscar.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Peter Finch being the other one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Let's take a look at those scores. Three, the best score of that pass.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I hope your sister's watching. And wallowing in glory.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Very well done, Hannah and Lee, looking pretty commanding
0:09:57 > 0:10:01at this stage, and then up to eight, where we find Chris and James.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Up to 22, Ram and Stephen. And then, Ken and Alison.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, dear, you're way out in front again, I'm afraid.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Nice high score of 100.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09But, yes, we're going to need a low score
0:10:09 > 0:10:11from you, Alison, to try and keep you in the game.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK, James, remember, we are
0:10:21 > 0:10:26looking for the name of any acting Oscar winner in the 21st century.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Chris did very well with 8 there,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31excellent score for Heath Ledger.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33The high scorers on 100 are Ken and Alison which means
0:10:33 > 0:10:37if you can score 91 or less, you're in the next round.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39James, what do you do?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40I was a retired...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I am a retired security consultant.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Which bit of security did you consult in?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, I used to work with a team of white hat hackers
0:10:48 > 0:10:50and we used to go and hack people's networks...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- White hat hackers?- ..so that the black hats couldn't go in
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and start hacking their network.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57We found all the flaws first and then told them how to fix them
0:10:57 > 0:10:59and then stopped anyone from going in.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I've never heard the expression "white hat hackers", that's brilliant.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Basically, you were a paid hacker.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And now you've retired, you can just do it for fun.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09LAUGHTER
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Now then, James, there you are on 8 points.
0:11:11 > 0:11:17As I say, 91 points or fewer will see you into the next round.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20OK, I remember it's a more recent one, it was a French film,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25it was a silent film and the actor,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm sure, was Jean Dujardin.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Jean Dujardin.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32There's your red line, get below that
0:11:32 > 0:11:33and you are through to the next round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Let's see if Jean Dujardin is right
0:11:35 > 0:11:38and if it is, how many people said it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It is right and you are through, very well done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I have a feeling this might go a very long way down
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and it does to 1.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50APPLAUSE
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Takes your total up to 9, James,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56a very impressive single-figure total, well done, you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Well played, James, terrific answer
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and a terrific pairing there as well with 9 points.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Yeah, he won in 2012, he won the Best Actor for The Artist.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- It's also quite a good film. - It's cracking.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- You think it's going to be terrible and it isn't.- Oh, it's lovely, yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- Now, Lee.- Hello.- Welcome to the show, the genius that is Lee.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18What do you do, Lee?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I'm a trading standards officer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- That's quite fun. Whereabouts? In East Sussex?- In East Sussex, yes.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26What are your hobbies, Lee?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'm a passionate member of the WI.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I haven't made the calendar yet, but keep hoping.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Do you make a calendar, your WI, each year?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Our federation makes a calendar, yes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44It's bridges, footpaths, autumn colours, it's not quite...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- It's not kit off?- No, no.- OK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Um, anyway, Lee, listen, let's have a brilliant answer.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56We've had a score of 3 from Hannah which was fabulous,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00beaten just now by Jean Dujardin said by James which scored 1.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The only place for you to go is a pointless answer
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and I bet there are some.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Well, no pressure then.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'm going to go with Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Daniel Day-Lewis says Lee. - Could be risky.- Could be a risk.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, there's your red line, get below that,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18you're through to the next round.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Absolutely right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:2822.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29APPLAUSE
0:13:29 > 0:13:3222 takes your total up to 25 which sees you very comfortably
0:13:32 > 0:13:34through to the next round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yeah, in 2013, of course,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38became the first man ever to win three Best Actor Oscars.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Won for Lincoln, also won for There Will Be Blood
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and in 1991 for My Left Foot as well.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Now, Alison, there's a scenario in which you
0:13:47 > 0:13:51and Ken could still be with us at the end of this round, it goes like
0:13:51 > 0:13:55this - you come up with something that scores less than 22
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and Stephen suddenly goes mad.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04It could happen. How good is your knowledge of film and Oscar winners?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Not terribly good.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09My answer was going to be Daniel Day-Lewis
0:14:09 > 0:14:14but I was surprised it only scored 22 so I've been frantically
0:14:14 > 0:14:20racking my brains so I think it's going to have to be a bit of a punt.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- I thought I might go for Johnny Depp.- Johnny Depp says Alison.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Johnny Depp.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29No red line for you as you're the high scorers, but let's see
0:14:29 > 0:14:33if Johnny Depp's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Oh, no, bad luck.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Bad luck, Alison, that's an incorrect answer,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- However, you are our latest members of the 200 club.- 300.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49No, we won't do it on aggregate, it's all fine.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Welcome to the club, great to have you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Richard?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Yeah, he's been nominated a few times but hasn't won any, I'm afraid,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59but that's the way to go out of the show.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Thanks very much. Now, Stephen.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Stephen, I have good news.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08You are into Round Two whatever happens.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11However, I think you might have a good answer,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14you've had a lot of time to craft your answer.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I've got a couple that I know have won Oscars, or at least I think
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- I know, but I'm not sure of the year and that's the bit that's...- OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29So, I'm going to go with the riskier of the two and say Charlize Theron.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Charlize Theron.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33No red line for you as you're already through but let's see if Charlize Theron is right
0:15:33 > 0:15:36and let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37It is right.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Look at that, 6!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Very well done indeed, 6 for Charlize Theron,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48it takes your total up to 28.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Very well done, Stephen.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Well played, Stephen. She won Best Actress Oscar for Monster in 2004.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00They're all for Supporting Actor or Actress.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Alan Arkin won for Little Miss Sunshine.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Benicio Del Toro won for Traffic.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Chris Cooper won for his role in Adaptation.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Jennifer Connelly won for A Beautiful Mind.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Jennifer Hudson won for Dreamgirls.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Marcia Gay Harden, she won for her role in Pollock.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Mo'Nique who won for Precious.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Octavia Spencer who won very recently for The Help
0:16:24 > 0:16:26and Penelope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress
0:16:26 > 0:16:29for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, all of those pointless answers.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Well, at the end of our first round,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'm afraid to say the pair leaving us with our high score of 200,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38it's our lovely north Northumbrians, it's Alison and Ken.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I'm so sorry. It was Round One last time and it's Round One this time.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I'd like to think that you were going to have an easier time
0:16:45 > 0:16:47this time but I'm afraid we threw Oscars at you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Thank you so much for joining us, Alison and Ken,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Alison and Ken.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54APPLAUSE
0:16:54 > 0:16:57But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Well, we're now down to three pairs.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I think anything could happen in this round, it could go any way.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Cricket. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Who's going to go second?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28OK, and our question concerns...
0:17:34 > 0:17:37If it's any consolation, everyone in front of me
0:17:37 > 0:17:39now looks really disconsolate.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Richard.- But you look happy. - Well, I do, yes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44I think you'll like this one.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46We're going to show you two photographs
0:17:46 > 0:17:51now of England Ashes teams, one from 1981 and one from 2013.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54We need you to identify anyone in either of these photographs,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58please, any of the players in the two photographs you're about to see.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00As Richard's just said, we're going to put two images up on the board.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03They will stay up throughout the whole round so up the line
0:18:03 > 0:18:06and back down the line and all you have to do is name any
0:18:06 > 0:18:10person on either of those two photographs.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12And here are those two images...
0:18:17 > 0:18:22OK, so, Ram, you are going to go first. How is cricket for you, Ram?
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Em, absolutely awful. I really have no idea.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I've got somebody that played cricket a long time ago
0:18:30 > 0:18:34that could be in the top photograph but I can't recognise him.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Ian Botham.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Ian Botham.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Let's see if Ian Botham is correct
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Botham.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's absolutely right. Well done, Ram.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- 30.- Oh, my God.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56APPLAUSE
0:18:56 > 0:18:5730 for Ian Botham.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Well done, Ram, a bit of damage limitation there.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It was known as Botham's Ashes, the '81 Ashes, gave up
0:19:02 > 0:19:06the captaincy halfway through, but there he is in the bottom-left.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now then, Hannah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I actually follow the Ashes quite closely so, again,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13this isn't too bad for me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm going to say Stuart Broad for the bottom photo.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Stuart Broad says Hannah, Stuart Broad.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Down it goes to 20.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well done, Hannah, good score.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Well played, Hannah, took 22 wickets during that Ashes series in 2013.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Thanks very much. Now, Chris. Cricket, Chris.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Yeah, I'm afraid it's not very good for me. I had Ian Botham in my head.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm just going to have to go for the only other cricket player
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I can think of and hope that they're in the top picture
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and that is Phil Tufnell.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK, well, let's find out. Phil Tufnell, is he in that picture?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59If he is, how many people said it?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Bad luck.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you
0:20:05 > 0:20:07the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'm sorry, Chris.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Yeah, sorry, Chris, too late for the '81, too early for the 2013,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'm afraid.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15OK, thanks very much.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:18 > 0:20:2120, the best score of that pass, Hannah, very well done to you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You and Lee looking strong at this stage.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Then up to 30 where we find Ram and Stephen and then, I'm afraid,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28it's up to 100 where we find Chris and James.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30The lovely low score you had in the first round
0:20:30 > 0:20:33beginning to be a distant memory there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35We're going to come back down the line now.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43OK, James, we're looking for the name of anyone who
0:20:43 > 0:20:47appears in either of these pictures.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48There they are.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Is cricket something you follow?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I know more about hippo breeding than I know about cricket.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58There's someone there who looks a bit like someone who I think
0:20:58 > 0:21:02used to be on TV and I think his name was David Gower.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03David Gower says James.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10No red line for you, James, as you are the high scorers.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13It's right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:1921.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21APPLAUSE
0:21:22 > 0:21:2521 takes your total up to 121.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Well played, James, might have kept yourself in it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, David Gower scored over 8,000 runs in his Test career,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32now a very good presenter and commentator.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Lee.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Lee, good news, you're in the head-to-head.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40How's your cricket, Lee?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Eh, cricket's great. I followed the '81 Ashes and the most recent Ashes.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Go on, give us a brilliant name from the '81.
0:21:47 > 0:21:54Em, the top photo, next to Ian Botham, I think, is Bob Willis.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57OK, Bob Willis says Lee.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59No red line for you for the lovely reason that you're already
0:21:59 > 0:22:01through but let's see if Bob Willis is right
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's right.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Very well done, 19.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Lowest score of the round, very well done, Lee. Takes your total to 39.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well played, Lee.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Do you know Bob Willis changed his middle name from George to Dylan?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Did he?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Because of Bob Dylan who was his musical hero, so by deed poll,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33he changed his name to Bob Dylan Willis.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35To Bob Dylan Geldof Willis.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36LAUGHTER
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Stephen.- Hello.- Now, you are not out of the woods here by any means.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46The high scorers are James and Chris on 121, there you are on 30.
0:22:46 > 0:22:4890 or less will see you into the head-to-head.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Is cricket something you're comfortable with?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I should be better than I am.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I'm going to play safe and hope that it gets us
0:22:56 > 0:22:59below the line with Kevin Pietersen.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Kevin Pietersen says Stephen.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03There's your red line.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05If you get below that with Kevin Pietersen,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07you are in the head-to-head. Let's find out.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Kevin Pietersen, is it right? How many people said it?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13It's right.
0:23:17 > 0:23:1819.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21APPLAUSE
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Joint lowest-score of the pass, takes your total up to 49.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Did exactly the right thing there, Stephen, very well played.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Now, I bet you're rather good at this round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Is there anything you fancy going for?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- Joe Root, probably, or Steven Finn. - Well, let's take a look.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- Joe Root, there he is. He would have scored you 10 points.- Steven Finn.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Steven Finn, there he is, he would have scored you 5 points,
0:23:44 > 0:23:45both are good answers.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Let's go through both of the pictures.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Let's take the 1981 picture first.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52You've got Bob Taylor there, would've scored you 2 points,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54he's the best answer you could have got.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Chris Old, he would have scored you 3.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58There's John Emburey, would've scored you 4.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Peter Willey, that's who I went for, he would've scored you 5.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Graham Gooch there with 8 points.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Geoffrey Boycott, 11 points he would've scored you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Mike Brearley, he would've scored you 13 points.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Bob Willis, we've already had, on 19. Mike Gatting there on 21.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Let's take a look at the 2013 team.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23You would have got 4 points for Graham Onions,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25he's the best answer on that picture.
0:24:25 > 0:24:275 points for Steven Finn as we've heard.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You would have got 8 points for Tim Bresnan.
0:24:30 > 0:24:349 for Jonny Bairstow, 10 for Joe Root, 10 for Jonathan Trott.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Ian Bell, 11. Graeme Swann there would have scored 14, Matt Prior, 15.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Kevin Pietersen we know already got 19.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Broady got 20, Alistair Cook, 23,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48just pipped by James Anderson who got 24 points.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Good for him. Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair who'll be
0:24:52 > 0:24:55heading home with our high score of 121 is James and Chris.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Oh, dear, so good in the first round.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00But it all bodes very well for next time and I'm sure you'll do
0:25:00 > 0:25:03much better then but it's been great having you on the show.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Thanks so much, James and Chris.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06APPLAUSE
0:25:07 > 0:25:10But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Well, congratulations, Lee and Hannah, Ram and Stephen, you are now
0:25:18 > 0:25:19one step closer to the final
0:25:19 > 0:25:23and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So, now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35The big difference is you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Well, Lee and Hannah, your first appearance on Pointless
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and straight through to the head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:50Ram and Stephen, last time, Round Two. This time, head-to-head, hey!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54So, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58APPLAUSE
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:07 > 0:26:09UK cuts of beef, Richard.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We are going to show you the names of five UK cuts of beef
0:26:11 > 0:26:15but we've filleted them all leaving just the first and last letters.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Can you fill in the gaps and tell us what the cuts are, please?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Thanks very much so let's reveal our five UK cuts of beef
0:26:21 > 0:26:22and here they are.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We have got...
0:26:24 > 0:26:28HE READS LETTERS
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I'll read those one last time.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37HE REPEATS LETTERS
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now then, Lee and Hannah, you played best throughout the show
0:26:43 > 0:26:45so far, so you get to answer first.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Any ideas?- (Only one, silverside.)
0:26:54 > 0:26:58We're going to go for the third one down, silverside.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Silverside say Lee and Hannah. Now, Ram and Stephen.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Do you want to talk us through the cuts?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Talking you through the board, it's rump, silverside,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10which we got as well,
0:27:10 > 0:27:14tartare and flank but I just can't quite figure out what
0:27:14 > 0:27:18that top one is and whether or not it's going to be really low.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I think we're going to go with flank.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You're going to go with flank, the bottom one.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, so we have silverside versus flank.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now, Lee and Hannah said silverside, let's see if that's right
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and let's see how many people said silverside.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34It is right.
0:27:39 > 0:27:4028.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:47And Ram and Stephen have gone for flank.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Let's see if that's right,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55It's right.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's got to beat 20. Oh, look at that, 58.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01APPLAUSE
0:28:03 > 0:28:06There we are. 58. That's a big score for flank, isn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08But that means very well done, Lee and Hannah.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Silverside was tough to beat. It's a good answer.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16You wouldn't have beaten it with tartare,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19because that is a way of cooking beef. It's not... Topside.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I'm afraid it wouldn't have beaten silverside anyway,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25so it would have scored you 33 points.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Wouldn't have beaten it with rump, either,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- because that would have scored 93 points...- Ooh!- ..for rump.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Now, the top one...- Can I guess what it is?- You can guess what it is.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Is it clod?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Absolutely.- Oh, no!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- And is the best answer on the board as well. 8 points for clod.- Oh, no!
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- Being honest, now, had you heard of clod?- Clod? Mmm, delicious!
0:28:47 > 0:28:49LAUGHTER
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes our second question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Now, Ram and Stephen, you get to answer this one first.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57But you have to win it to stay in the game, so very best of luck.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58It concerns...
0:29:01 > 0:29:05It concerns Poetry. Stephen, closing his eyes, shaking his head.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Ram, laughing. Richard, Poetry.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Going to show you five clues now to facts about poetry.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Can you give us the most obscure answer to one of these?
0:29:13 > 0:29:17OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come. We have got...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I will read those all one last time.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00There we are, Ram and Stephen, you will answer first.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- THEY WHISPER:- The second one is... They might not know.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- I don't think the second one is, though.- Really?- No.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08We're going to go with the Lewis Carroll novel
0:30:08 > 0:30:11that features the poem Jabberwocky. And it's a bit of a guess.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Is it Through The Looking Glass?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Through The Looking Glass, say Ram and Stephen,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20for the Jabberwocky novel.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Lee and Hannah, what are you going to go for?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Do you fancy talking us through the board?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27The 14th-century author of Canterbury Tales
0:30:27 > 0:30:29we think is Geoffrey Chaucer.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Um...but the other ones... Gone blank,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36so we're going to go with the top one, and we think
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Daniel Day-Lewis's father is Cecil.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Cecil, say Lee and Hannah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Cecil, the father of Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Now, in the order they were given, Ram and Stephen
0:30:47 > 0:30:48said Through The Looking Glass.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Let's see if that is right, for the novel from which Jabberwocky comes.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58It is right. My God! Very well done, Ram and Stephen.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59How far down the column it goes
0:30:59 > 0:31:01we will discover...
0:31:01 > 0:31:02Look at that, 6!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Very well done indeed. Great answer.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07APPLAUSE
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Very well done. You chose well.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Now, Lee and Hannah,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14you have said Cecil Day-Lewis was the Poet Laureate father of Daniel.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Let's find out if that's right, and if it is,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18let's see how many people said it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22It's absolutely right, of course.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23It has to beat six.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Ooh... 16.
0:31:29 > 0:31:3116. Well done, Ram and Stephen.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You've done exactly what you needed to do there.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36After two questions, you're back in the game. It is 1-1.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Well played there to Ram and Stephen. That has made the scoring even.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41That's my little, er... LAUGHTER
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- That's my little poetry sum-up for you.- That's nice.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50You're right about Geoffrey Chaucer. A big scorer, though, Geoffrey Chaucer - would have scored you 51.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Roald Dahl's 1982 collection of rhymes...- Revolting Rhymes?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Revolting Rhymes, yeah. Would have scored you five points.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59And the best answer on the board, the poet with whom
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the collection of Lyrical Ballads...
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- William Wordsworth. - William Wordsworth. 4 points.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Well done if you said that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12This will be the decider - who will go through to the final,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14who will we say goodbye to?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:20 > 0:32:21ABBA singles. Richard.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26I'm going to show you five picture clues now, to top 40 singles by ABBA.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Tell us the name of the single that these pictures most directly refer to. Best of luck.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32The team who gets the most obscure answer plays for the jackpot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37So let's reveal our five picture clues to ABBA singles,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and here they are. We have got...
0:32:56 > 0:32:57That's good.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Lee and Hannah, you will go first.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Um...- Which one?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I don't know.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:33:13 > 0:33:16OK, we're going to go with A - SOS.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20SOS. You're going to say SOS for A.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Ram and Stephen.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Um... Do you want us to talk you through the board?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Yeah - why not?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- B is Fernando Torres, so Fernando. - Fernando.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33C is Waterloo.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- That's probably... - We think that's going to be high.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- And D and E we're just not sure. - We will go for...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- B.- B. Fernando.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Fernando,
0:33:43 > 0:33:48say Ram and Stephen. So we have SOS, and we have Fernando.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Now, Lee and Hannah, you said SOS. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said SOS.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56It's right.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01- Ooh!- 38.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04APPLAUSE
0:34:06 > 0:34:1138. Now, Ram and Stephen, you have gone for Fernando for B.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15let's see how many people said it. Fernando.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20But it's got to beat 38.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Is it going to?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Yes, it is! Look at that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Ooh, 20. Very well done indeed. Fernando.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You pulled it back, Ram and Stephen. Very well done indeed.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Well played, Ram and Stephen, nicely answered. I like those rounds.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- We've got a few more of these coming up soon.- Oh, good.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Let's take a look at the other three.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46You're right about C - it is Waterloo. It was a big scorer though,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49it won't surprise you. Would have scored you 80 points.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52The best answer on the board is the next one.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55You've got to guess whether they have a song called Roly-Poly,
0:34:55 > 0:34:56or Head Over Heels.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59They've got a song called Head Over Heels. It was a number 25 hit.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00That would have scored you five.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03And E, of course, is Martin Luther King, doing his famous...
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- I Have A Dream. - ..I Have A Dream speech.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Yes, I Have A Dream. And that would have scored 25 points.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is Lee
0:35:14 > 0:35:17and Hannah. Well, you did incredibly well there,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and you could have done better - you knew Head Over Heels.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21We did. That's my fault. I'm never going to live it down.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Never mind. You can forget all about it, because you'll be back next
0:35:25 > 0:35:27time, and I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29But it's been great having you on the show.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Thank you so much for playing. Lee and Hannah.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34APPLAUSE
0:35:34 > 0:35:37But for Ram and Stephen, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Well, congratulations, Ram and Stephen.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45You fought off all the competition and you have won
0:35:45 > 0:35:47a coveted Pointless trophy, so well done.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:55 > 0:35:59and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,250.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00There it is.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Well, I'm delighted you've done so well.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Ooh, you were 1-0 down in the head-to-head,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and then you came through with Through The Looking Glass.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13That was a fabulous moment, there.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Don't know where that came from. - And Fernando.- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Well, very, very best of luck in this round. As always,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21you kick off this final round by choosing the category
0:36:21 > 0:36:22you want to answer on.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25And here are the options you can choose from. They are...
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Just on the basis we know quite a bit about American locations...
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Do you want to go for the bottom one?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45On the basis that we know a bit about American locations,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48maybe not so much popular music - but we'll go...
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- American locations in popular music. - Yeah.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- American locations in popular music. With the emphasis on American.- Yeah!
0:36:55 > 0:36:57OK, best of luck. Richard.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Yeah, what we're looking for is any band or artist who've had
0:36:59 > 0:37:02a UK top-40 single or album with...
0:37:02 > 0:37:05The word "New York" in it, in its title.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08The word "Memphis" in its title.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Or the word "California" in its title.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17So any artist or band who've had a top-40 album or single
0:37:17 > 0:37:20with New York, Memphis, or California in its title.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Very, very best of luck.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with
0:37:26 > 0:37:28three answers, and to win that jackpot of £3,250,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30all you need to do is find a pointless answer.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Now, remember, the answers you provide
0:37:32 > 0:37:35can come from any of these three categories.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39New York, Memphis or California, on singles or album titles.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41You can choose the category. All three can come from
0:37:41 > 0:37:43the same category, you can have one from each...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46It's up to you how you spread them across those.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Are you ready?- BOTH:- Yep.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Can I go through mine first? - Yeah, cool.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56So, I think California Love is by 2Pac,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58and Hotel California is The Eagles.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Yep.- So those are two answers. I don't know how obscure they are.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04I think California Love is fairly obscure, by 2Pac.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Yeah, that's pretty good. I'd keep that one.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- And New York City Cops by Strokes. - Strokes. Brilliant.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11And California Dreamin' by the Beach Boys - they covered it.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14It was originally The Mamas & The Papas, but...
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Oh, so which one would you...?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Because The Mamas & The Papas might be more obscure.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- Yeah, Mamas & Papas, The Strokes... - ..and 2Pac.- ..and 2Pac.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23A little bit of hip-hop.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Any others you can think of while we've got a bit of time?- Memphis...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I just keep thinking of that Cher song.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29There's that song Memphis On My Mind,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31but I have no idea who sings that.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Don't know that. New York...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Obviously, Frank Sinatra, but that's going to be....
0:38:35 > 0:38:36And you've got that New York...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Obviously, you've Californication by The Red Hot Chili Peppers,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41but that's not exactly California, is it?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43We'll stick with that,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45so we'll go Strokes, 2Pac, and Mamas & Papas?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46- Yeah. - And what's the most random - 2Pac?
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- I think so.- Yeah, Strokes in the middle...- OK, that's your time up.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I now need your three answers.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55What are you going to give me?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- We're going to go with Mamas & Papas.- Mamas & Papas.- Yeah.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- For California.- We'll go for The Strokes for the New York...
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Strokes for New York.- Yeah, and...
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- California Love, which is 2Pac, for California.- 2Pac for California.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Probably in that order, isn't it? I think 2Pac's probably our best.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- OK, we'll put 2Pac last.- Yep. - And we'll put Mamas & Papas first.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21- Yep.- Yeah, I think so.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Sorry if it's wrong.- No...
0:39:25 > 0:39:26We have got...
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Your first answer was The Mamas & The Papas.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40Now, if this is right, and it's pointless, it will win you £3,250.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- What would you do with that?- Um...
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I would put that towards a deposit
0:39:47 > 0:39:50for an Aston Martin. I'd have a lot of saving to do,
0:39:50 > 0:39:54but I would have that as a little nest...
0:39:54 > 0:39:56OK, "Put that as a deposit towards..."
0:39:56 > 0:39:58And I was thinking, "This is good. This is good."
0:39:58 > 0:40:01"..an Aston Martin."
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- OK. No, that's a good thing to spend it on.- It's fun.- Why not? Stephen.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I've got slightly more realistic aspirations,
0:40:07 > 0:40:11and I'd probably buy a retro arcade machine for our house.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Well, best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:40:13 > 0:40:19Let's hope one of those will get you that...arcade machine/Aston Martin.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Mamas & Papas you said was your least confident
0:40:21 > 0:40:24shot at a pointless answer, but only one of these answers has to
0:40:24 > 0:40:27be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so let's find out.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31For £3,250, how many people remembered The Mamas & The Papas
0:40:31 > 0:40:34had California in a single or an album title?
0:40:37 > 0:40:38It is right.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44you'll be leaving with £3,250.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45It's going down through the '20s,
0:40:45 > 0:40:46down through the teens...
0:40:46 > 0:40:4715!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:53 > 0:40:55OK, 15 for that. That's fine. That was your first answer.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59You'd have been very surprised if that had been pointless, surely.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05Two more shots at today's jackpot. Your next answer was The Strokes.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07We've now moved to the New York category.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Let's hope nobody said The Strokes. Let's hope it's correct.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14It has to be a single or an album with New York in its name.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18For £3,250, let's find out how many people said The Strokes.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Well, it's right.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27Your first answer, Mamas & The Papas took us down to 15.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30The Strokes now takes us way past 15, down into single figures.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Down it goes...
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Down it goes. You've done it!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- SHE SHRIEKS - Very well done indeed!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Very well done.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Oh, very, very well done indeed! Congratulations.- Oh, my God.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47The Strokes was a pointless answer,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50which means you go home with that jackpot of £3,250.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Well done, you, Ram and Stephen.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00That was brilliant, Ram and Stephen. Really well done.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04New York City Cops was a double A-side with Hard To Explain, by The Strokes. That's a terrific answer.
0:42:04 > 0:42:092Pac did California Love, of course - would have scored you two points.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10So that was your winning answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Let's take a look at some of the other winning answers.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The Bee Gees, and New York Mining Disaster, of course.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Bruce Springsteen and The E. Street Band's Live In New York City.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20That was a pointless answer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Good Evening, New York City, Paul McCartney,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and REM, Leaving New York, also would have been pointless.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Also could have had Fun Lovin' Criminals, Lou Reed, Pet Shop Boys,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Shinehead - all of those pointless answers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Memphis - Dave Berry & The Cruisers.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Prefab Sprout, From Langley Park To Memphis, the album.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Terrific new album out as well, Prefab Sprout.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Sheryl Crow, Wet Wet Wet.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44And for California, you could have had America,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47you could have had Elvis Presley, California King Bed by Rihanna,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50and the wonderful Wedding Present with California -
0:42:50 > 0:42:51all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Very well done for getting New York City Cops in the studio.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59That's terrific work, and I hope you get your arcade machine.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Many happy years ahead of you, playing that.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:03 > 0:43:09Ram and Stephen, who go away with today's jackpot of £3,250!
0:43:09 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
