0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:31where you are rewarded for knowing obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38Couple number one... Hi. My name's Chris and this is my friend, Ryan. And we're from Somerset.
0:00:38 > 0:00:44Couple number two... My name's Jack, this is my friend, Meghan, from Northern Ireland.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Couple number three... I'm Hannah, this is Luke. We're from Birmingham.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53And couple number four... Hello. I'm Will and this is my little sister Naomi, from Worcestershire.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks all of you. We'll find out more later.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person. They say no man is an island,
0:01:05 > 0:01:11but if he were he'd be a sovereign state recognised by the UN. My Pointless friend, Richard. Hiya.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22I never understand that expression, "No man is an island". What about the Isle of Man?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Oh, nice. Am I right? You are right. Excellent. How are you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:34Know what I have done? I've drunk quite a lot of coffee just before I came on. Did you?
0:01:34 > 0:01:40I had my normal cup of coffee, forgetting that just about two hours ago I drank a very strong coffee.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46I am now quite close to my dangerous coffee level. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's quite fun.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51So you might get a little over-excited and when we get to the jackpot round,
0:01:51 > 0:01:57everyone will know you really need the loo. Good thinking. I'll keep an eye out.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I don't want to detain you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of them gave
0:02:12 > 0:02:18and then we will add 250 quid to the jackpot. Dale and Keith didn't win it, so we add £1,000
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36We want an answer from each of you, but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:36 > 0:02:44The pair with the highest score will head home. Our first category today is...Song Titles.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Song Titles. Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00And the question concerns... Biological Songs.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06Biological Songs, Richard. Don't panic, everybody! It's easier than it sounds.
0:03:06 > 0:03:14We'll show you seven songs, all with a word about the human body, but we've missed that word out.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16There's 14 in all. Good luck.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Thanks very much. So we are looking for the parts of the body to complete these titles.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Here's our first board of seven. HE READS THE LIST
0:03:31 > 0:03:37Joe Dolce Music Theatre! Who knew it was called that? Me. Who else? I don't know.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I'll read those all one final time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06So we want to know what these complete song titles are.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Ryan and Chris, you all drew lots and today you are going first.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Ryan, what happened last time? We had a nightmare. A shocker.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19It was a shower. Not a good show, to be fair. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The SHOW was good. The show was great. Fantastic.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Me and Xander were on fire.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Ryan, I have to ask you. Your glasses... Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:36Your ears have nothing to do with that. They don't. They just hang on my head
0:04:36 > 0:04:41and stay there by gravity. I'm impressed. Thank you. Now,
0:04:41 > 0:04:46we have all these songs with parts of the body surgically removed. OK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52I'm going to play, because of this band I used to listen to all the time when I was 17, 18,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57and thought I was quite cool. I'll play Insane In The Membrane, Cypress Hill.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Insane In The Membrane, says Ryan. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Oh, Ryan...! I thought that was right. So did I. It's not right. I just realised what it is now.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Ah. Mm. Bad luck. I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:05:16 > 0:05:23Ryan, I'm so sorry. You were in the 200 Club. You don't want 400. We're heading there. You are.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29You obviously know the song. That is a lyric in the song, but it's not the title. Unlucky.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35OK, bad luck, Ryan. Jack, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. Thank you.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41You're from Ballymoney. Yeah. And what do you do? I'm a student at Newcastle University.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I study business accounting finance. What else do you like doing?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I'm a pretty keen tennis player, two or three times a week.
0:05:49 > 0:05:56Good. Ballycastle has a big tennis tournament. Yeah, I've played at Ballycastle a few times.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I once won a match. You ARE good. I'm really good!
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Now what are you going to go for? Em...I think I know two of them. There's one I'm not so sure of,
0:06:06 > 0:06:13so I'll maybe play it safe. And I'll go for Hips Don't Lie, Shakira.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Hips Don't Lie, says Jack. Is that right? How many said it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22No, they don't.
0:06:23 > 0:06:2655. 55 for Hips Don't Lie.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That'll do.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35A number one hit from 2006. Featuring Wyclef Jean as well. Of course.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Anatomically incorrect as well. The hips can lie.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I hadn't even thought about that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Yeah, it's nonsense. Does the General Medical Council vet these?
0:06:47 > 0:06:54The GMC took Shakira to court, but because she's not a UK resident they had no jurisdiction over her.
0:06:54 > 0:07:01They had to let it go. If a British band were to do a cover version, they would be struck off.
0:07:02 > 0:07:09Which is why no British band has done a cover version. Makes sense. Hannah, welcome.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14What do you do up in Birmingham? I'm a student and I work
0:07:14 > 0:07:20and I have a face painting business on the side. Face painting? That's the most exciting.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Has that taken off? Steady going, but it's better in the summer, obviously,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28when all the kids want it done.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33What's the best face you paint? I love doing the zombies at Halloween.
0:07:33 > 0:07:40The nice thing about painting a face is that you aren't anywhere near it when the face has to be washed.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45That's true. You can do what you like. And run away.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Now, Hannah, what about this board of missing body parts?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I actually, amazingly, know a few of them, I think.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59I think the best answer I'm going to go with is Insane In The Brain by Cypress Hill.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Insane In The Brain, says Hannah. Is that right? How many said it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's right. 100 our high score, 55 our low. You've passed those.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Still going down. 12.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1812, Hannah. Very well done.
0:08:18 > 0:08:25Yes, it's been a hit a few times. By the US hip hop group Cypress Hill.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30A British cover version would be permissible. Depending on who was to sing it. Ah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35It says, "Insane in the membrane, crazy insane, got no brain".
0:08:35 > 0:08:40That's essentially the lyric to that. And, strictly speaking,
0:08:40 > 0:08:45if you're able to say, "Crazy insane, got no brain," you do have a brain.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53Naomi, welcome back. What happened last time? We got through to the Head to Head,
0:08:53 > 0:08:58but went out after two questions. We'll try to do better this time.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04OK. Now remind us what you do. At the moment, I'm a full-time mum. I've got a little boy, Thomas,
0:09:04 > 0:09:10who is seven months old. So that's my current occupation. Thomas will be watching right now.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Hi, Thomas. Hello.
0:09:12 > 0:09:19This board is entirely yours. Want to fill in all the blanks? I'm not sure I'd be very accurate.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I think I know the bottom two, possibly.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, but that might be high.
0:09:28 > 0:09:35Seeing as one contestant already got a wrong answer, I'll guess the bottom one and maybe join them.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41I'm going to say Angel Eyes by Wizzard. That sounds like it could be right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Angel Eyes, says Naomi. Sounds like it could be right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Let's see how many said it if it is.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, no! Sounds right. It is, in fact, wrong.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Sorry. I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03Yes, I bet a lot of people guessed Angel Eyes. This was actually a number one single for Wizzard.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07You'd be here all day to guess it. Angel Fingers.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Seven points. It was the '70s. Things were different then.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18I didn't think this was the hardest board. Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23It would have scored 62. Blood On The Dance Floor, Michael Jackson, would have scored 11.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce. That's a big scorer, 71.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32And you're right about Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38That would have scored 94 points. Manic Street Preachers do a very good cover version.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:10:42 > 0:10:4612 the best score, Hannah. Very well done indeed.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Then up to 55 to Jack and Meghan and then up to 100
0:10:49 > 0:10:53where Naomi, Will, Ryan and Chris are gathering.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Chris and Will, it's between you to see who stays and who leaves.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08We're going to put seven more songs on the board and here they are.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10HE READS THE LIST
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I'll read those again.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Remember, we are looking for body parts that complete these songs.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Will, remind us what you do. I am an industrial designer.
0:11:43 > 0:11:50You are an industrial designer of hybrid, um...railway-borne... flywheel...
0:11:50 > 0:11:55things. I remember, you see. Don't think I wasn't taking that in.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I was. Driven by a car engine. That's right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03A tiny, tiny car engine rather than a big train engine.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I tell you what Will would do really well - a morning show on the radio.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12He's got a good DJ voice. I was thinking that when you introduced yourself. Great DJ voice.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Thank you very much. When we finish, you can read through it like it's a chart.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25That's a good idea. Brilliant. Will, you're on 100. We need a low score or it's goodbye.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30OK. We need to go obscure, but not wrong.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35I'm learning. You're on the right tracks. GROANS
0:12:35 > 0:12:42I think my best bet is to go with Celebrity Skin by Hole.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49Celebrity Skin by Hole, says Will. Is that right? How many said it? No red line as joint high scorers.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52It's absolutely right.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01That's a great answer, Will. 11. That's our lowest score so far.
0:13:01 > 0:13:0411 your total.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Yeah, a really good answer, Will. Certainly the coolest answer. Courtney Love's band Hole.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17Thanks. Now, Luke, welcome. Hello. What do you do, Luke?
0:13:17 > 0:13:22I've recently been made redundant, but I'm going back to uni to study film production.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27What were you doing before? Em, video shop,
0:13:27 > 0:13:33which is probably why it's redundant. Oh, you worked in a video shop? I see.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I miss those. I liked good video shops. I bet you were good.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I was excellent. Good advice, popular among the rental crowd.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44What will you do with this board?
0:13:44 > 0:13:50I really only know the top one. I was going to go for Hole as well,
0:13:50 > 0:13:55but that was taken, so Club Foot, Kasabian.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Club Foot, Kasabian, says Luke. You're on 12.
0:13:59 > 0:14:06The high scorers are on 111. If you can score 98 or less, you are into the next round.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Is it right? How many people said it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's right and you're through!
0:14:16 > 0:14:1810. Very well done.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2222, your total.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Yeah, the first Top 40 hit for Leicester band Kasabian.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31They won the Brit for Best Band in 2010. Thanks, Richard.
0:14:31 > 0:14:38Meghan... Hiya. Hi, there. What do you do? I'm a student at Strathclyde University in Glasgow.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And what are you studying? Finance.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45What do you do in your spare time? I do quite a few things,
0:14:45 > 0:14:51but at school I was involved in a competition called Bar Mock National Trial.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56It's like a legal system for schools so everyone takes on a role.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01And verdicts are passed? Mm-hm. Sentences handed down?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Were you involved in the Hips Don't Lie case?
0:15:04 > 0:15:10No, I wasn't. Before your time. Excellent. Well, you're on 55.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16The high scorers are still on 111. You have to score 55 or less to stay in the game.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20We want to know what these complete song titles are. I only know one,
0:15:20 > 0:15:25which I'm going to assume, if it's right, is going to be quite high.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Heart of Glass, Blondie. Heart of Glass, says Meghan.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Is that right? How many said Heart?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Oh, it's a big score. 72.
0:15:39 > 0:15:4272 for Heart of Glass. Takes your total up to 127.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Their first UK and US number one.
0:15:45 > 0:15:51Now, Chris... Hello. We now have a game on our hands. Welcome back. Thank you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Flags did for you last time. Yep, they did indeed.
0:15:55 > 0:16:03But this is where you can snatch some glory back. You're on 100. The high scorers are on 127.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0726 or less is your target. Indeed.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12We want the complete song titles. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:19Well, all of my answers have been taken. I just have to hope and go I Want To Hold Your Hand,
0:16:19 > 0:16:24The Beatles. Your hope being...?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26That it's low enough to get through.
0:16:27 > 0:16:34OK. You're going with Hand. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Your red line is quite low. Who knows? Maybe you'll get down there.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Or... At least it wasn't 400! No, 398. Exactly!
0:16:49 > 0:16:55398. I see exactly why you went with that one. Yes, good point.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Well done. 198 is your total. Obviously, 98 for Hand.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Yeah, you join the 398 Club. You may be the only residents of it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Makes you wonder what the other two people wanted to hold.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11LAUGHTER
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Let's go through the rest. There's another very big scorer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Bette Davis... Eyes. Would have scored you 62 points.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Now Cat, that's Cat from Red Dwarf, the lovely Danny John-Jules, who had a hit.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You can probably guess. Tongue.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34It would have scored 48 points. And this is a tricky one. Tommy Steele. What A...?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38What A...Face. Nope. Does anyone know that?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Mouth. Mouth, absolutely. Well done, audience.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45What A Mouth. Would have scored six.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51The audience are through to the next round. Otherwise... it might have been a bit quiet.
0:17:51 > 0:17:59Thanks, Richard. So I'm afraid the pair leaving us with 198 is Chris and Ryan. I'm sorry.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Round One last time. Round One again this time.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08What can you do? I'm afraid you have to walk away.
0:18:08 > 0:18:15That's not what we wanted, but thanks very much for playing. Chris and Ryan, great contestants.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28So three pairs remain. After this round, we'll say goodbye to yet another pair.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Well done, all three pairs. Phew-ee, Naomi and Will.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36That was close, but you pulled it out of the bag.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Hannah, Luke, our lowest-scoring team, and Luke our lowest scorer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:48Very best of luck to all three pairs for this new round. Our category for Round Two is...World Leaders.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many French Prime Ministers and Presidents as they could.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07French Prime Ministers and Presidents. This will be a tester.
0:19:07 > 0:19:14Any French Prime Minister or President from 1959 to the end of 2012. Surnames will be acceptable.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Very best of luck. And at home. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24French Presidents or Prime Ministers, Jack. What are you thinking of?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Not exactly my strong point.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I think the one I'm going to say is Francois Hollande.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Hollande. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said Hollande?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Eleven.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51That's pretty good, Jack.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Eleven for Francois Hollande. He's the current President, elected in 2012.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02He was once caught reading a French version of French History for Dummies.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05You know those books? Yeah.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09He's proposed banning homework, Hollande.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Banning homework? Yeah, that's his idea.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15LAUGHTER
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Hannah... This could not be a worse round for me.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It's so bad. I literally don't know anything.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29I'm going to have to just go with a French name and hope...
0:20:29 > 0:20:36That's what all of them have done. Just go for the most stereotypical thing. Oh, go on.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41I think I'm going to go with Jean Claude.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Jean Claude? Surname? Oh, Jean Claude...Francois. I don't know.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I... No, it's awful. I just don't know.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Somewhere on a French quiz show right now someone is making up a British Prime Minister.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59"Bill John David?"
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Jean Claude Francois. Is that right? How many said it?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh, bad luck, Hannah. Shocker!
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Never made it to the upper echelons, I'm afraid, Jean Claude Francois.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Three French names, though. Very impressive.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Good going. Should get 300 points.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No! Naomi...
0:21:26 > 0:21:31OK. The name Francois was sticking in my head as well.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36I think I'll stick with this lovely French name that we've all picked
0:21:36 > 0:21:40and say surname Mitterrand. Hopefully, that's...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Francois Mitterrand, says Naomi.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Mitterrand.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Absolutely right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well, 11 is our low score so far.
0:21:52 > 0:21:5543 for Francois Mitterrand.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57APPLAUSE
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Well played, Naomi. France's longest serving President to date.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07He was elected twice. No-one else has had that in France. Thanks.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Let's take a look at those scores. 11, the best score of that pass, Jack, by quite a long way.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Then up to 43 where we find Naomi and Will, then it's up to 100 where Hannah and Luke currently are.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25Luke, we need a good, low score from you if you're to make it to the head-to-head. Best of luck.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Now then, Will...
0:22:32 > 0:22:38You're on 43. The high scorers are Luke and Hannah, before they've given their second answer, on 100.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43If you can score 56 or less, you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47We're looking for Prime Ministers or Presidents of France since 1959.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm going to end up playing reasonably safe.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I may embarrass myself because a French President or Prime Minister used to live
0:22:55 > 0:22:58about three miles from where I live now,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I think, during the '40s.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I may get the name wrong.
0:23:02 > 0:23:09A French top man was temporarily relocated to a place near Bewdley.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Whether it's the right guy I've got, I'm not sure... Do you think he listened to your breakfast show?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17LAUGHTER It's deep.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23If you've got any views on the guy who lived near Bewdley, why don't you just ring in or send us a text?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Lovely, big house by the river. You can see it from the bypass.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30LAUGHTER
0:23:30 > 0:23:36So I'm going to throw in Charles de Gaulle. Charles de Gaulle lived down the road from you? I'm not sure.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39LAUGHTER I've got a bit of a historical...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44If you get below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Let's see if Charles de Gaulle is right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Very well done. Oh, you've just done it!
0:23:55 > 0:23:5756 you needed. 52 you got.
0:23:57 > 0:24:0195 is your total. Very well done, Will.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06He was the first President of the Fifth Republic from '59 to '69. Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I'm catching it now. "Thanks very much INDEED."
0:24:11 > 0:24:13MIMICS DJ VOICE: OK, Luke! Hello!
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Luke, it's your go. You're on 100. You're the high scorers.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Like I said, we need a really low, low score.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It's getting quite hard now.
0:24:23 > 0:24:30Yeah. Luckily, I read the same book of French Prime Ministers and Presidents that Hannah read(!)
0:24:30 > 0:24:33So, again, a French surname...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Jean "Renault".
0:24:36 > 0:24:39LAUGHTER
0:24:39 > 0:24:45Jean "Renault", says Luke. No red line for you as you're the high scorers. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49No, bad luck. Bad luck.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53If in doubt, "Jean" and the name of a car!
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Jean Reno, an incorrect answer. Great actor. Sadly, not a Prime Minister or President. Richard?
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Again there's someone on a French show kind of going, "I don't know, Bill Leyland?"
0:25:05 > 0:25:07LAUGHTER
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Meghan, there's great news. You're in the head-to-head.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Less good news, I want the name of a French Prime Minister or President.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23I know none, so I'm just going to go for the same sort of idea as everyone else.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm going to say...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Jean-Claude Antoire.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30LAUGHTER
0:25:30 > 0:25:34"Antoire?" Yeah. You never know!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37No, sometimes you do know! LAUGHTER
0:25:37 > 0:25:41There's no red line for you. You're already through.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45But let's see how far down the column Jean-Claude Antoire goes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Bad luck, Meghan. There's a surprise(!)
0:25:50 > 0:25:56I'm afraid Jean-Claude Antoire is not yet a leading figure in French politics. Richard?
0:25:56 > 0:26:03I don't think he's a leading figure in anything. Perhaps there is someone called Jean-Claude Antoire.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Yeah. There's even some emigre now sitting in London going, "Oui."
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Mais oui. Oui, Jean-Claude Antoire, oui.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Je m'appelle Jean-Claude Antoire.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Before we do the pointless answers... We'll do the biggest answers at the end.
0:26:19 > 0:26:25I'll give you some Presidents. They all scored. Mainly the pointless answers are Prime Ministers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Jacques Chirac would have scored you 26, Georges Pompidou 7 and Valery Giscard d'Estaing 6.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35Francois Fillon and Dominique de Villepin would have scored you 2.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Edith Cresson would have scored you one. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45You could have had Edouard Balladur who was Prime Minister during the '90s.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Jacques Chaban-Delmas was Prime Minister from '69 to '72.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Maurice Couve de Murville was another Prime Minister.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You could have had Michel Debre.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00You could have had Pierre Beregovoy,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Pierre Mauroy, the Socialist Prime Minister.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06You could have had Pierre Messmer, Raymond Barre
0:27:06 > 0:27:10or Rene Coty who was President from '54 up to '59.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Let's look at the top three answers.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Third was Nicolas Sarkozy - 33.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Then on the last podium, you gave us the top two answers -
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Francois Mitterrand - 43, and Charles de Gaulle - 52.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28He did live in Hampstead for a while, Charles de Gaulle, in the '40s during the war.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33At the end of our second round, I'm sorry to say, Luke and Hannah, we say goodbye to you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Far too soon, but you'll be back next time. We look forward to that. You've been great contestants.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Thanks very much for playing, Luke and Hannah!
0:27:43 > 0:27:48But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Congratulations, Naomi and Will, Jack and Meghan, you are one step closer to the final
0:27:57 > 0:28:01and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £3,000.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04APPLAUSE
0:28:04 > 0:28:09To decide who plays for that money, you'll now go head-to-head. You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17You've both done pretty well, but there have been blemishes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23We had Angel Eyes from you, Will and Naomi, and we had Jean-Claude Antoire from Jack and Meghan.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Richard? We're going to show you five images of famous people with the first name James.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49Can you name the most obscure? Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five Jameses and here they are.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16There we are, five famous Jameses.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Naomi and Will, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23WHISPERING
0:29:26 > 0:29:31I'm going to say "A", James Patterson.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34James Patterson, say Naomi and Will.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Jack and Meghan, the board is all yours. Take us through it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Um... I only know D.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I only know D.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46I think we'll go for D. LAUGHTER
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And I think we'll say James Corden.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53James Corden. So we have Patterson versus Corden.
0:29:53 > 0:29:59Naomi and Will said James Patterson. Let's see if that's right and how many people said James Patterson.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It is right. That's a very good answer.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I suspect this is going to go a long way down.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Oh, look at that, almost pointless!
0:30:09 > 0:30:11One.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14APPLAUSE
0:30:14 > 0:30:17One for James Patterson. That is a great answer.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Jack and Meghan have said that D is James Corden.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said James Corden.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Obviously, it's right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Oh, 62.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34APPLAUSE
0:30:34 > 0:30:3962 for James Corden. Well done, Naomi and Will. After one question, you are up one-nil.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43That was the lowest and the highest score on the board. Well played, Naomi.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49James Patterson, the thriller writer, one of the best-selling authors in the world.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53B, as any fan of Family Guy can tell you, is James Woods, the actor.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Would have scored you 14 points.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57C is Jimmy Carter, the former President.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Would have scored you 36.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04And E... Do you know E? James Cracknell. James Cracknell.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08The Olympic rower, yeah. He would have scored you 26 points.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Thanks very much. Here comes your second question. Jack and Meghan, you get to answer this first,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17but you have to win it to stay in the game. Good luck. It concerns...
0:31:19 > 0:31:26Richard? Just five clues now to facts about Los Angeles. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02There we are, five clues to facts about LA.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Jack and Meghan, you go first.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07WHISPERING
0:32:18 > 0:32:22We know the state and we know the LA district,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26but seeing as we're a bit up against it,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30I'm going to take a punt at the IATA airport code...
0:32:32 > 0:32:34..and we're going to say LAX.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37LAX, say Jack and Meghan. LAX.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Naomi and Will, the board is yours.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Well, I think the state is California. Mm-hm. Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50The bottom one is quite an obvious one, being Hollywood.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54I'd say '84, the Summer Olympics, but I can't be sure.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56It sounds good.
0:32:56 > 0:32:591984. 1984 you are saying for the Olympics.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02So we have LAX and we have 1984.
0:33:02 > 0:33:09Jack and Meghan said LAX. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said LAX for the airport.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11It's right.
0:33:14 > 0:33:1626.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18APPLAUSE
0:33:18 > 0:33:2126 for LAX. Now, Naomi and Will,
0:33:21 > 0:33:26you have taken a bit of a punt and said 1984 for the year it hosted the Summer Olympics.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said 1984.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33It is right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40It wins the point and the round for you. What about that?
0:33:40 > 0:33:4215. APPLAUSE
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Very, very well done.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Naomi and Will, after only two questions, you are through to the final two-nil.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55Well played, both teams. You did what you had to do. The two obvious ones wouldn't have won the point.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59The US state is California. That would have scored you 66.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Paramount is in Hollywood and that would have scored you 39.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06The official tree is the best answer by some way.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Is it the bonsai?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10LAUGHTER
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It is not the bonsai, no.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17It is the coral tree. Of course it is. For 3 points.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm sorry to say, it's Jack and Meghan.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27I'm not that sorry as it means you'll be back next time. If you were in the final, that would be it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31We'll look forward to that. Thanks very much for playing so well, Jack and Meghan!
0:34:31 > 0:34:37APPLAUSE But for Naomi and Will, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Congratulations, Naomi and Will, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:44 > 0:34:49and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £3,000.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:07As always, you have to start this round by picking a category and you have a choice of four.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Oh, dear!
0:35:16 > 0:35:22LAUGHTER I have never read out a less appetising board, I have to say!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I'm... England In The Middle Ages?
0:35:25 > 0:35:30I don't know Ireland. I'm drawn to either of the last two, so if you've got a preference for...
0:35:30 > 0:35:35England. The nearer one of the last two, geographically. We live in England...
0:35:35 > 0:35:38In the Middle Ages?! LAUGHTER
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Things in Ribbesford have moved on since then!
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Do you reckon? England In The Middle Ages? Go for it. Yeah.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50England In The Middle Ages it is. Richard? Good luck. That was a tough board. Yeah.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Jack and Meghan would have loved the Irish Geography round. Yeah.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01We're looking for any of the Knights of the Round Table whose name contains the letter A,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05we are looking for any King of England from 1154 to 1485
0:36:05 > 0:36:12or we're looking for any medieval cathedral, according to the English Heritage National Heritage website.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16So any Knights of the Round Table containing the letter A,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19any Kings of England, 1154 to 1485,
0:36:19 > 0:36:20or any medieval cathedrals.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Very, very best of luck.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28That's a bit better, isn't it, now you've seen the sub-categories? Yeah. Yeah. Good.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34You have one minute to come up with three answers. To win that jackpot, just one answer has to be pointless.
0:36:34 > 0:36:40Your answers can come from any category - three from one category, two from one, one from another.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43It's entirely up to you. Are you ready? Yes.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50We can do knights. We can do a few.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55I know Galahad with an A. Yes. And Geraint with an A. That's what I was thinking.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00Let's think about cathedrals. The Coventry one? I'm not sure how old.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04We want something very substantial like Durham. Yes. Big, tall place.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07They've been building up for a long time.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12I'm not sure of medieval cathedrals, but lots of them are old. We'd only have to name a few and be lucky.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16I avoid royal questions because I'm hopeless. I'm not 100%... No.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Geraint... Yeah. Which one did you say? Galahad. That's more obvious.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Too obvious. Geraint, Durham... Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27And let's get a good cathedral. Other cathedrals. Winchester.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I think Winchester's a lovely...
0:37:29 > 0:37:34It's by the coast and people in the Middle Ages would be bringing ships and stuff there
0:37:34 > 0:37:38and making big cathedrals and praising the Lord. Ten seconds left.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Any other knights we can think of? Tristan. Yes. Yes. We've got to go with that one.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Take off Winchester. Yeah.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51We're all set. Yes. OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57What were they? We were going to go with two knights and a cathedral. Is that right? Yeah. OK.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00We're saying Geraint. Geraint. Tristan. Tristan.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04And Winchester Cathedral.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer? Tristan. Bold Sir Tristan. We'll put him last.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13What about your least likely to be pointless? The cathedral.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Which I think was Winchester. We'll put that first.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Very best of luck. Your first answer was Winchester Cathedral.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35If this is correct and it is pointless, you will win the jackpot. What would you do with £3,000?
0:38:35 > 0:38:40I'm going on a canal boat holiday with members of my family, so it'll be useful for that.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Have you done that before, canal boating? Not really. Just very small scale. It looks a lot of fun.
0:38:46 > 0:38:52Will, Naomi's very kindly included you in her share of the money. What are you going to do?
0:38:52 > 0:38:56My wife is expecting a baby in the near future. Congratulations.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02That means I'm going to be evicted from my back room in the house, so I'm going to look at a shed.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04A shed would be fantastic. Great idea.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Not cots and baby stuff. He needs a shed.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Cots and baby stuff, obviously. Take that as read. But a shed...
0:39:11 > 0:39:16To enable the nursery. Very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Your first answer is Winchester Cathedral. If it's pointless, it will win you the jackpot.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24So, for £3,000, is Winchester a medieval cathedral?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28It is a medieval cathedral.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33If this goes all the way down to zero, you will leave here with £3,000.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Down it goes, through the 30s, the 20s, into the teens.
0:39:36 > 0:39:3916 for Winchester Cathedral. APPLAUSE
0:39:44 > 0:39:48I think that's quite high for Winchester Cathedral. Yeah, maybe.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50I'm sure it's lovely. It is lovely.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56I can vouch for that. I've seen it. Anyway, your second answer, Sir Geraint.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00If that's correct and pointless, you will win the jackpot.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04For £3,000, is Sir Geraint one of the Knights of the Round Table?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Yes is the answer, he was.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Your first answer, Winchester Cathedral, took us down to 16.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17Your second answer, Sir Geraint, is taking us past 16, still going down.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Five, four, three, two, one...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You were one away! APPLAUSE
0:40:28 > 0:40:34Now, when you were discussing and Sir Tristan suddenly floated into your head,
0:40:34 > 0:40:40you both said, "Oh, yes!" You thought that was a more exciting answer than Geraint. Yeah.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45If only one person said Geraint, it stands to reason that Tristan should score lower
0:40:45 > 0:40:48and there's only one lower score than one.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53I don't want to put any ideas in your head, but that's the way I'm thinking.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Your final answer was Sir Tristan.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00If it's right and it goes down to zero, you leave here with the jackpot.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03For £3,000, was Sir Tristan a Knight of the Round Table?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It is right.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Winchester Cathedral took you down to 16.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Geraint took you down to one.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Sir Tristan now galloping down into single figures, still going down.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Oh, no!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:27One...
0:41:29 > 0:41:34One person. They knew their stuff. They did. Good for them.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Gracious of you to say that, but frankly, I think that's annoying.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:42 > 0:41:47so you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000 and that will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51but you've been such entertaining contestants. Thank you so much.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55And you take home a fabulous Pointless trophy each, so well done.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57APPLAUSE
0:42:02 > 0:42:07That was really tough luck. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Sir Brunar would have won you the money,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Sir Dagonet, who was King Arthur's jester,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Sir Lucan, the royal butler, and Sir Saphar.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Well done if you said those at home.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21The Kings, I suspect some people would have won the money here.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Edward IV and Edward V were both pointless.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29Very well done if you said that. There's only one pointless answer for the cathedral cities.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Very well done if you said Beverley.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37You would have got three points for Wells or Exeter, two points for Carlisle or Lichfield,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41one point for Rochester and Peterborough, but Beverley the only pointless one.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46Really unlucky, guys. Two one-pointers - that is tough luck.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Naomi and Will, but thank you so much for playing.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55I'm sorry you didn't win the jackpot. APPLAUSE
0:42:56 > 0:43:02Well, Naomi and Will didn't win our jackpot, so it rolls over on to the next show when we play for £4,000.
0:43:05 > 0:43:12Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye. And it's goodbye from me.
