0:00:12 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi. My name's Tony. This is my friend John, and we're from Middlesbrough.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Couple number two.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hello. My name's Jane. This is my daughter Kate, and we're from Preston.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello. My name's Dave. This is my friend Erica, and we're from Cardiff.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello. I'm Dean. This is my brother Ryan, and we're from Cambridgeshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And these are today's contestants.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55APPLAUSE
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Thanks, all of you.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03He's got intellect, he's got glamour,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05he's a tiny little bit of spinach stuck in his teeth.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hiya.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hi, everybody.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Two shows in a row now we've given away the jackpot.- I know.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20How about that. They often come in threes, these things.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- So, uh, it could be good news for someone here today.- Mmm.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Er, two returning pairs. Ryan and Dean, who did very, very well last time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Got all the way to the head-to-head, so they'll be looking to go one step further.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We got on that first podium, John and Tony.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I thought they would go all the way last time, but they got knocked out in the first round.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But I predict great things if they can get past Round One.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Don't you think?- I think so. Thanks, Richard.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45As ever, the aim of the game is to find a pointless answer -
0:01:45 > 0:01:48that's an answer that none of our 100 people were able to give.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Now, Kirsten and Catherine won the jackpot last time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:58so we start off today with a jackpot of £1,000.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08OK, the pair with their highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12And also, remember, you are not allowed to confer during the round itself.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14OK, our first category today...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16..is Music.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17It's music.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Song titles containing boys' names, Richard.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven UK top 40 singles,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39all of which contain a boy's name.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43We just need you to tell us the name of the act who had a top 40 single with that song, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46There will be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very, very best of luck.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So, we are looking for the artists who had hits with these songs containing boys' names,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and in the year shown.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Here's our first board.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Now, Tony and John, you all drew lots before the show, and today you are going to go first.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Tony, welcome back.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- You and John have known each other how long?- Ooh, 30-odd years.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35How many quizzes have you done together over the years?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Countless...- Yeah.- ..is the short answer, isn't it? Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Erm, and you've won things, haven't you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- You won a quiz in Germany - that's all I'm saying.- We did.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Really?- They won a quiz in Germany.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Where was it?- Germany.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- LAUGHTER - Come on. Come on.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Thank you. Thank goodness.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Er, where was it in Germany?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, we were in Mainz and we couldn't find a quiz,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00so we went the next day in Cologne, and that's where we won it, in Cologne.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- Very good.- In an Irish pub.
0:04:04 > 0:04:10How kindly did they take to people turning up in their Irish pub and walking off with the trophy?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Er, actually, it was a very enjoyable experience.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14They were very good to us.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Anyway, listen - Tony, there we are.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19There's your first board. What are you going to go for?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Er, my one, I'm going to play super-safe.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Er, Daniel - Elton John. - Elton John, says Tony, for Daniel.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Let's see if that's right
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and if it is, let's see how many people said Elton John.
0:04:36 > 0:04:3848.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40APPLAUSE
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- 48 for Elton John. - Yeah, a number four hit for Elton John, that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- In German, it's... - GERMAN ACCENT - ..Daniel.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And in Newcastle, as well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50LAUGHTER
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No, that was a very good nor...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55That's, like, a Cologne accent I was doing. They're almost identical.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57If any people from Cologne were watching,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02they would have, just for a second, looked at their telly as if they were back in, er, the homeland.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Cos it was extraordinarily accurate.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Daniel - that's German for Daniel.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Do you know what the German for Elton John is?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- GERMAN ACCENT - Elton John?- No.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15No, it is Elton Johann.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17HE LAUGHS
0:05:17 > 0:05:19All right, OK.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Thank you.- That's a pleasure.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Er, Kate. Have you ever been to Cologne?- I haven't, no.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Cos when you go there, that's what it's like.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- THEY LAUGH - Erm, what do you do, Kate?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30I'm a civil servant.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Can I ask which department of the civil service?- I'm afraid not, no.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Well, that's... Well, that's me told, isn't it? Wow.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Erm, OK. Right. I... I... Good. Thank you for that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Er, what do you do in your spare time?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47I'm a big football fan.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Erm, I'm a season-ticket holder for Preston North End,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and I've been going there for over 20 years now with my mum.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Very good indeed. Now then, what about these songs with boys' names in?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- A bit of a disaster. - SHE LAUGHS
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Erm, I think the only one I knew is gone.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So I think my mum's going to kill me now,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09cos I'm just going to have to do a random guess at something.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I'm just going to have to make something up.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And I'll go for Denis.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- And I'll go for Kim Wilde. - Kim Wilde. OK. Kim Wilde, says Kate.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Let's see if that's right and let's see how any people said Kim Wilde for Denis.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Is it that bad?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Bad luck, Kate, I'm afraid - Denis not by Kim Wilde, it turns out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- That scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.- Yeah, sorry, Kate.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Not Kim Wilde. And I'm not at liberty to tell you the answer, I'm afraid.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Can't, er... I'm afraid it's confidential. Classified.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Yeah. Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I mean, presumably, there will come a time at some stage
0:06:48 > 0:06:50when that will be unclassified, declassified.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53In 30 years' time, I'll be able to tell you who had a hit with Denis, yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Er, now, Erica, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- What do you do, Erica? - Er, I'm a tenancy support officer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Very good. And how do you and Dave know each other?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Erm, we met 30 years ago in a burger bar.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It was July 4th - Independence Day -
0:07:08 > 0:07:11and I'd been out with a couple of friends at a party,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and Dave had also been out with a group of friends at a party.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18And we all converged, aligned, in this burger bar, and we met that way.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And 30 years later, here you are on Pointless.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- 30 years later.- How incredible.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26How many other people from that burger bar on 4th July have you kept up with?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- There's a few.- Yeah. There's at least three others.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- And that's...of that group. - Is the burger bar still there?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Yes.- No - it blew up.- It blew up, did it?- Oh, it blew up.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- LAUGHTER - OK, there we are. - Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Yes - at some time in the early hours of 5th July, 30 years ago.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It's definitely one... It's still there or it blew up - It's one or the other, definitely.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48OK, Erica, there we are. Lots of, er...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50There are still six unanswered on that board.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53There's one I'm not sure about,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and I think it is, but I daren't say, just in case I'm wrong.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00But there's two on there I know. So I'll probably play safe.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And I'll play safe with Sloop John B - the Beach Boys.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The Beach Boys for Sloop John B, says Erica.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Let's see that's right
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and if it is, let's see how many people said the Beach Boys.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20There we are. 30. Well done, Erica. Best score so far.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Well played, Erica. Number two hit for the Beach Boys.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Originally a Caribbean folk song, a traditional old song.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Thinks very much. Er, now, then, Ryan.- Hello.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36For some reason, I have a feeling you're going to be very good at this round.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Erm, but remind us what you do.- Er, I work in film and video production.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Erm, and I do a bit of voiceover work and a bit of acting as well.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I like the way he gestures to me for voiceover work.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- That's weird, that, isn't it? - It's good, isn't it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Do you do voice-overs?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- I've done a few.- I never noticed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55LAUGHTER
0:08:56 > 0:08:59But, erm, anyway. So, what sort of things have you voiced over, Ryan?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Erm, supermarket commercials,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06er, a bit of radio stuff, er, short documentaries...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Erm, yeah, just...- It's fun. - Yeah, it's fun. It's good, yeah. - It's a nice gig, isn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Can you to do the rest of this in voiceover, erm, voices?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I don't work for free - I'm sorry.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17LAUGHTER
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Er, whereas I, on the other hand, you know...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- As you well know...- Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Er, now, Ryan, this board is all yours.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think you can probably answer the bulk of them,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28if not all of them.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Erm, there's a few I think...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I think The Ballad of Bonnie And Clyde is by Serge Gainsbourg.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm not entirely sure.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Erm... Cotton Eye Joe is by Rednex, Denis is by Blondie,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42and I'm not sure about the other two.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45But I think the one I'm going to go for is Cotton Eye Joe,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46er, and that's Rednex.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Rednex, says Ryan, for Cotton Eye Joe.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's see if that's right
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and if it is, let's see how many people said Rednex.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, 48's our high score for a correct answer,
0:09:58 > 0:09:59so you've passed that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:0130 our low score - you've passed that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0210 for Rednex.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05APPLAUSE
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Good answer, Ryan. Good score.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well played, Ryan. It's one of those songs that so catchy.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I'm really hoping there's another catchy song on the next board to get it out of my head.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16That's my, er... That's my vain, I'm sure, hope.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Er, now, The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde - not Serge Gainsbourg.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It was a number one hit in 1967 for Georgie Fame.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Would have scored you 9 points.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Denis - you're right - was Blondie.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So you can see where the Kim Wilde thought came from.
0:10:29 > 0:10:3132 points for that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Worried About Ray, at the bottom. Do you remember that one?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- That's quite a catchy song as well. - Yeah, I know it very well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- It's one of those... not Boo Radleys...- It's the Hoosiers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- The Hoosiers - exactly. - The Hoosiers.- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43That would have scored you 11 points.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44This last one is a pointless answer.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Very well done if you said Eddie Calvert.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Eddie Calvert - pointless answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5410 the best score of that pass, Ryan. Very well done indeed.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58That puts Dean in a very comfortable position for the next pass.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Er, then we travel up to 30 were we find Erica and Dave.
0:11:00 > 0:11:0248, Tony and John.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And I'm afraid it's up to 100 for Kate and Jane.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Er, best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Can the second players step up to the podium.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK, let's put seven more songs on the board.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16And here they are. We have got...
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Seven songs with boys' names in the title.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Dean, you're going to try and find the lowest scoring one you know.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Now, welcome back, Dean.- Thank you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Now, every so often, when we have people on the show,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I like to play my little "looks a little bit like" game.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Yeah.- Oh, no.- Yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I've got a "looks a little bit like" for you, Dean.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- It is a good one.- Oh, OK. - It's a good one.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I just wonder if you've heard it before. Simon Russell Beale.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- No.- No?- That's one of not had. - It might just be my eyes.- Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Is that Ian Beale's dad?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- Yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:12:12 > 0:12:14That's the one, yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- OK.- Yeah, no, it's good. It's a great person to look like.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Great actor.- Yeah, great actor, certainly. Certainly that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Er, now then, Dean, how are we feeling about these songs with boys' names in?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I think I know all of them but one.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Erm, the one I'm going to go for is Dear John,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- and I think that's Status Quo.- St... Wow.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Don't know how I know that. - I was looking at that, thinking I should know it from 1982.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I just don't.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well, you want to score 89 or less to avoid becoming the high scorers
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and assure yourselves a place in the next round.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's see if Dear John is indeed by Status Quo
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50There's your red line.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It is.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55You're in Round Two. Very well done, Dean.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01APPLAUSE
0:13:01 > 0:13:024, Dean.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Take your total up to 14. - Well played, Dean.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- They'll be strong contenders again, won't they, Dean and Ryan?- Yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yeah, so, about a letter they wrote to John Noakes once.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18There we go. Thanks very much.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Erm, Dave.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Dave, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Erm, what do you do, Dave?- I run a housing charity in South Wales.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Good for you. Er, now, do you and Erica work together?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Are you in the...? No, you're not in...- We have done.- Yeah, we have.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Oh, you have?- But not... - Coincidentally, or through friendship?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Coincidentally.- Yeah. - Oh, that's nice.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Erm, and what are your hobbies, Dave? What do you like getting up to?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Erm, I like cooking. Erm, and eating.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50Erm... Erm... Music. Theatre. Lots of different things.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53OK, and is this a...a strong suit for you, would you say?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Well, music normally is, but this round's quite tough.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, thanks to Jane and Kate's high score of 100,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04you've got a bit of a head start here.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10If you can score 69 or less, you will go through to the next round.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12OK. Erm...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17There's quite a few on there I don't know. Er...
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm going to go for Alejandro - Lady Gaga.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Alejandro - Lady Gaga.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27There's your red line. Let's see if it's right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Let's see if you can get below that red line with Lady Gaga.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It's right.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Through you go, Dave.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- APPLAUSE - 27. 57 your total - very well done.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well played, Dave.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48But so far, neither of these songs are catchy enough to get Cotton Eye Joe out of my head.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Oh! It's still there, spinning around like a top. - I do think you going to get...
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Oh, maybe. You might. You might. Yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Anyway, erm, we'll come back to them.- Mmm.- Now, Jane.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Now, Jane, you have to achieve the impossible here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You have to achieve...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05There is a scenario in which you could be in Round Two.
0:15:05 > 0:15:12It involves John, let's say, scoring 100, and you, let's say, scoring 47.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Or even being able to answer any.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18How do you find this board, Jane? Have we served you up a...?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I'm quite fortunate, because there are actually only two on there that I did know,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and they're both still there.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- You ARE quite fortunate. - Very.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31So it's just deciding which one,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33and I'm actually to go for Ben -
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Michael Jackson.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Michael Jackson, says Jane. Michael Jackson.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK, no red line for you, as you're the high scorers.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's see if Michael Jackson is right for Ben.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- It's right. - Whew!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- 38. - APPLAUSE
0:15:52 > 0:15:57You have fulfilled one of the tasks in front of you, Jane.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59138 is your total.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yeah, well played, Jane. Did all you could there.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Michael Jackson's had quite a few top 40 singles with names in.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07He's had Robin, which was Rockin'.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Yeah.- He's had Diana, who was Dirty.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Oh, I see. Yes. Yeah. - And Billie Jean, who was not his lover.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- So he's had a few. - That's right, he has. Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Now, then. OK, John. You have a goal, a clear goal.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23138 is the high score there, from Jane and Kate.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You have to score 89 or less.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Now, John, remind us what you get up to.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- What occupies your time? - Well, I do a lot of quizzes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Er, I set them, as well as attend them.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Er, so, I set a quiz every now and again.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I used to do the works one, and I do a pub one on a semi-regular basis.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And I've been doing that for a number of years.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46And that's my way. I go racing a lot. I like my racing.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Flat or National Hunt?- Both. I prefer jumps, but...- OK.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Very good. Now, then, John, there we are.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56There's a board waiting for you just to run amok through it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Talk us through them all, if you can.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Yeah, I think I know them all, but it's a question of picking the right one.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I think the top one is the one I'm unsure about.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I think it might be Ray Charles. The second one is definitely ABBA.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10But that actually could score more than 89, I think.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm surprised nobody's picked The Ballad Of John And Yoko,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15because it was The Beatles' last number one,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and I thought a Beatles song should have been picked.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And I think Stan's Eminem.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23So, I think I'll go, cos it'll score less than 89,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- I'll go for The Ballad Of John And Yoko. The Beatles.- OK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Beatles, says John, for The Ballad Of John And Yoko.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Here is your red line. Nice and high.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Get below that with The Beatles, you're in Round 2.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's right, and you're through. Very well done, John.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Very well reasoned.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Ten! - APPLAUSE
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Ten. - HE LAUGHS
0:17:48 > 0:17:51For The Beatles, which I can tell you is the second-lowest
0:17:51 > 0:17:53score of the whole round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Joint second-lowest score. - Yeah, very well played, John.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58As you said, their last number one. Maybe people don't know.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I think some people maybe think it's a John Lennon song rather than a Beatles song, so a low score.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05You took us through the rest of the board very nicely.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You were even right about Hit The Road Jack.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11It was the Ray Charles version. It would have scored you 6 points.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Fernando - ABBA. Big scorer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Wouldn't have seen you knocked out. It's only 60.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21And Stan was Eminem, and that would have scored you 35 points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So the best answer on the board is Status Quo.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26So very well played, Dean.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'm interested that we write ABBA conventionally,
0:18:29 > 0:18:34cos quite often we...I notice that we kowtow to the whims of pop stars.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Like Five, who use a 5. - Yeah, 5ive.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Pink will use an exclamation mark. - P!nk with an exclamation mark. Yeah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But it's quite disrespectful, that, to put both Bs the right way around.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I'm desperately hoping none of those four are watching, because...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'm hoping Benny isn't watching. He's the B we've put the wrong way round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- The others are fine. - LAUGHTER
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Agnetha's going, "You got me."
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Bjorn's saying, "I'm happy with that."- Yeah, Benny.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Anni-Frid's going, "Yeah, I got that."
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Benny's going... - WITH SWEDISH ACCENT - "What is happening with my B?"
0:19:00 > 0:19:01LAUGHTER
0:19:01 > 0:19:03"I used to love this show.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06"It was really good, and then suddenly the Bs are all...ugh!"
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- Eugh!- "Ugh! I don't know. You would not do this to A-ha."
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- LAUGHTER - Now, then.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's the end of our first round, and I'm afraid the pair leaving us
0:19:15 > 0:19:21with their high score of 138 are Jane and Kate. I'm so sorry.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22You weren't far off with Kim Wilde.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I knew who I meant - I just couldn't remember her name.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27No, that can happen.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Mmm.- It can happen.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31See you again next time, Jane and Kate.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Look forward to that very much indeed.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Back to the remaining three pairs. It's now time for Round 2.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45And so three pairs remain.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another
0:19:48 > 0:19:51pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Best of luck to all pairs.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Our category for Round 2 is...politics.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Politics. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many prime ministers who
0:20:14 > 0:20:18served during a queen's reign as they could.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Prime ministers who served during a queen's reign, Richard.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yes, simply looking for anyone who served as UK prime minister
0:20:24 > 0:20:27during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II or Queen Victoria.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Very best of luck.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Thanks very much indeed. Now, John.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- How good's your history?- I'm OK, yeah. Not too bad.- Yeah, good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Of course he's good at that. Quizzes.- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43He's just working out on the John Rolodex which of those is going to
0:20:43 > 0:20:44be the lowest-scoring.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Come on, John. Let's give us a Cologne answer.- Right.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- I think I'll go for Alec Douglas Hume.- Alec Douglas Hume, says John.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Alec Douglas Hume.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02It's right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Ten! - APPLAUSE
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Very well done indeed, John. Ten for Alec Douglas Hume.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Yeah, the second-shortest-serving PM of the 20th century. Just 363 days.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21At the start of his prime ministership,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24he wasn't a Member of the House Of Commons or the House Of Lords.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27He gave up his seat in the Lords and wasn't a Member of the House Of Commons yet.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So he was prime minister without sitting in parliament at all.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- It's good going, isn't it?- That is!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So, what - they had to find a seat to parachute him into?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Yeah, he had a special, erm...yeah, like one of those camping chairs.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- LAUGHTER - That someone found in their boot.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Good.- So he sat in there for a bit.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- And he had his drinks on a little cooler.- Well, that's nice.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50At least he was looked after. Comfortable.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- He was comfortable. He had a windbreak as well. - LAUGHTER
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- He'd want it. Erica. - HE LAUGHS
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Sorry, I've caught you by surprise there.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You thought we were just going to bang on for another half hour.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Like that was going to happen!
0:22:04 > 0:22:05- HE CHUCKLES - Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I'll go with the Welshman.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Jim Callaghan. - Jim Callaghan, says Erica.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Jim Callaghan.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18It's right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Well, ten was Alec Douglas Hume.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- 34 for Jim Callaghan. - APPLAUSE
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- 34. Was Jim Callaghan a Welshman? - Jim Callaghan? Yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33He was an MP in Cardiff, wasn't he? Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Born in Portsmouth, though, so nominally English.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Dean.- Yeah. - HE CHUCKLES
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Erm...what are you thinking?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Erm...not my strongest area, I have to say.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm going to say Edward Heath.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Edward Heath, says Dean. Edward Heath.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Edward Heath.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It's right.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- 42. - APPLAUSE
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Yes - Conservative prime minister from '70 to '74.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Stayed in House Of Commons for 27 years after he was prime minister.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I notice that everyone's going for the easy option
0:23:18 > 0:23:21of going for prime ministers under Elizabeth's reign.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24No-one's yet had the guts to go for a Victorian prime minister, have they?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Not yet.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- That'd be quite a person who did that.- I think.- Maybe second pass.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- I think Tony will. - Oh, Tony definitely will.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35If Tony doesn't come up with a Victorian prime minister, I will be shocked.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'll be shocked. Look at him.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- He's got hundreds of them. - Soon he might have to!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44We're halfway through the round. Let's check the scores.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Ten the best score. John, very well done.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Puts you and Tony in a very strong position.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Then up to 34, where we find Erica and Dave.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Up to 42, where we find Dean and Ryan.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56So, Ryan, we need a low score from you. Best of luck with that.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06So, Ryan, we are looking for the name of any prime minister who
0:24:06 > 0:24:08served during either the reign of Queen Victoria or
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Queen Elizabeth II.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15This is probably going to be a very obvious one, but I have to say Gordon Brown.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18OK. Ryan is going to say Gordon Brown.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20You're the high scorers, so there's no red line,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23but let's see how many of our 100 people said Gordon Brown.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- 62. - APPLAUSE
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- Oh, dear.- 104 your total.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Yes - Labour prime minister from 2007 to 2010.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It'd be interesting if we do Pointless for many,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44many years to come - say we're doing it in 15, 20 years' time -
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I suspect his recognition ratings might slide quite rapidly.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Unlike some others, I suspect he might become one of the forgotten prime ministers.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51- Gordon Brown?- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56He'll become a Pointless emblem. Interesting. Thank you, Richard.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Now, Dave.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01We have a target - 104 is the high water mark.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05You're on 34, so a score of 69 or less sees you through.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Erm...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- I'm going to say Winston Churchill. - Winston Churchill, says Dave.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Winston Churchill.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15There's your red line.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Very well done. You're through.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- 46. - APPLAUSE
0:25:24 > 0:25:2746 takes your total up to 80.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30He coincided with the Queen during his second spell, from '51 to '55.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34In fact, he was prime minister when she took to the throne.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Thanks, Richard. Now, then, Tony. There you are on ten.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The high scorers are Ryan and Dean on 104.
0:25:41 > 0:25:4593 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Talk us through your thoughts.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50OK. My thoughts are that I will definitely not be
0:25:50 > 0:25:52going for a Victorian.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Although I might have a couple of answers, if I'm allowed to say them. - You can say them.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I perhaps might have gone, had I had to risk it,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01would have been Gladstone or Disraeli.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- But I'm going to go for Harold Wilson.- Harold Wilson, says Tony.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Here's your red line.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Get below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Let's see if Harold Wilson can get you down there.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Most certainly he can.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- 45. - APPLAUSE
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- 45 takes your total up to 55. - Well played, Tony.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Twice prime minister, of course, Harold Wilson.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If you'd said Gladstone, would have scored you 16 points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Would have been a better answer. And Disraeli would have scored you 26 points.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Let's take a look at the Pointless answers. There's a few of them.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Lord John Russell would have been a Pointless answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I know some people who are very, very good on prime ministers and history and stuff.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47The Earl of Derby would have been a pointless answer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50The 5th Earl of Rosebery would have been a Pointless answer as well.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Also Viscount Melbourne was a Pointless answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56So very well done if you said him.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Let's take a look at the top three answers -
0:26:57 > 0:27:00the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04David Cameron would have scored you 80.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Margaret Thatcher would have scored you 82.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12And right at the top, Tony Blair, beating Thatcher - 86 for Tony Blair.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18At the end of our second round, the pair heading home... They were head-to-headers last time.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21This time, they have a high score of 104 at the end of our second
0:27:21 > 0:27:22round, so we have to say goodbye.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Ryan and Dean, I'm really sorry.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I thought you were going to be brilliant at this.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Well, music was a dream category to come up the first round, but then
0:27:32 > 0:27:35as soon as I saw Prime Ministers, I just thought, "We're going home."
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- HE CHUCKLES - So, yeah. Not our strong point.- OK.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Sorry we have to say goodbye. It's been great having you on the show.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Thanks so much for playing. - Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Congratulations, John and Tony, Dave and Erica.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01which currently stands at £1,000.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03We have to decide who'll play for that money,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and to do that, you're now going to go head-to-head -
0:28:05 > 0:28:08the difference being you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14So best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:23 > 0:28:27..children's TV. Children's TV, Richard.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30We're going to show you five clues - facts about children's television shows.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thanks very much.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Let's reveal our five clues. And here they are. We have got...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22John and Tony, you played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:22 > 0:29:23so you will go first.
0:29:25 > 0:29:31- I know Po.- Is that right?- Yeah.- Want to go Po or do you want...?- No, no.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36THEY SPEAK INDISTINCTLY
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Going to go Po.- If you're sure, you can go for it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42I'm going to... Do you know another one?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46THEY SPEAK INDISTINCTLY
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Right. Yeah, we've had a bit of a debate.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53We could guess one but we'll play safe
0:29:53 > 0:29:57and we'll go for Todd Carty played Tucker Jenkins in Grange Hill.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Grange Hill, say John and Tony. Grange Hill.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Now, Dave and Erica, the rest of the board is yours.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Do you want to fill it in? - THEY LAUGH
0:30:06 > 0:30:12- Erm...first presenters of SM:TV would be Ant and Dec, right?- Aye.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- I also thought...- The teddy bear puppet's Andy Pandy?- No.- No?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20No. It's, erm, Sooty.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Harry Corbett? - Sooty. Sooty.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Hmm?- Sooty.- Sooty.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Teddy bear puppet, first appeared on screen in 1952 with Harry Corbett - Sooty.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34You're going to go for Sooty. We have Grange Hill and we have Sooty.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Now, John and Tony have said Grange Hill.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said Grange Hill.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Ooh, that's high. 80 for Grange Hill.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Dave and Erica, meanwhile, have said Sooty was the teddy bear puppet,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53first appeared on screen in 1952 with Harry Corbett.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It's right. And it wins you the point.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- 69 for Sooty. - APPLAUSE
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Which means, Dave and Erica, after one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Our 100 know their kids' TV, don't they? Big scores there.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You know, since 1952, the first appearance of Sooty,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17there's been over 6,000 Sootys.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23- 6,000 real, official Sootys, on the TV and live stage shows.- Wow.- Yeah.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26There must be a grim sight somewhere.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28That's a lot of...there must be a Sooty mountain somewhere.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Now, let's look at the rest of these.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Guys, if you'd had to guess a Teletubby, which one would you have gone for?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Po.- Po would have won you the point.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It's the right answer. Would have scored 44.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45The first presenters of SM:TV Live were Ant and Dec.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Another big scorer - would have scored you 50.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- And Mr Sage and Mr Onion. What show was that on?- Live And Kicking.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Live And Kicking, yeah. And would have scored 4 points.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Best answer on the board by a mile.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- In fact, they were jumping around to Cotton Eye Joe.- Were they?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Yeah, yeah.- I'd literally just got Cotton Eye Joe out of my head!
0:32:01 > 0:32:02LAUGHTER
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Now it's back.- Yeah? There you go.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10So after one question, Dave and Erica are up 1-nil, which means
0:32:10 > 0:32:13John and Tony, you have to win this next question to stay in the game.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Best of luck with that. It concerns...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Actors In Vietnam War Films.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Actors in Vietnam war films, Richard.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Going to show you five images now of actors appearing in films connected to the Vietnam War.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Can you give us the most obscure name of these actors, please?
0:32:29 > 0:32:33OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five actors. And here they come.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57There we are. Five actors appearing in films about the Vietnam War.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Now, Dave and Erica, you will go first this time.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Do you want to have a closer look? - E is Bruce Dern.- Yeah.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Let's go for him, then.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- SHE MUTTERS - The Irish guy... British guy...
0:33:07 > 0:33:11I know. The one from the IT Crowd. Bruce Dern. Go for Bruce Dern.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- Yep.- OK?- Yep. E. Bruce Dern.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Bruce Dern, say Dave and Erica.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23John and Tony, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Yeah, unfortunately we were going to go for Bruce Dern
0:33:26 > 0:33:29cos that, I think, will certainly score the lowest points.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33We've got Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, Chris O'Dowd
0:33:33 > 0:33:38and Charlie Sheen. But I don't think we'll beat...
0:33:38 > 0:33:42I don't think we'll beat Bruce Dern. We'll go for...
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- We'll go for Charlie Sheen. D.- OK. D, Charlie Sheen, say John and Tony.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48we have Bruce Dern and Charlie Sheen.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Dave and Erica say Bruce Dern.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55It's right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Wow! Look at that! One for Bruce Dern.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- John and Tony, you reckon that was going to be the lowest scorer.- Yeah.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14You'll to struggle to get lower than that,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16but you said D, Charlie Sheen.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Let's see if that's right. How many people said it?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23It's right.
0:34:26 > 0:34:2733.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Very well done, Dave and Erica.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36After only two questions, you are through to the final, two-nil.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That's very nicely played by Erica there.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43That was a real killer blow with Bruce Dern. The best answer up there.
0:34:43 > 0:34:50Marlon Brando is A, in Apocalypse Now. He would have scored 25 points.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam...
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Looks a little bit like David Cameron.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57He does a bit. 74 points.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Then Chris O'Dowd in The Sapphires,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02about an Aboriginal girl group who entertain the troops in Vietnam.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04He would have scored ten.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08And we've seen the other two there. Bruce Dern the best answer.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Very well done if you said Bruce Dern at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is John
0:35:14 > 0:35:19and Tony. You've done so well, right the way through to the head-to-head.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Consistent low scoring.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Nothing wrong with your answers.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26And I think you knew lower scoring answers, didn't you,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29on that first board. You could have won that point.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33We could have said Po, but we just decided that, so...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Which means, John and Dave, we say goodbye.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38It's been brilliant having you. Thank you for playing.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Great contestants, John and Tony. - APPLAUSE
0:35:42 > 0:35:46But for Dave and Erica, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Congratulations, Dave and Erica. You fought off the competition
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03You have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07At the end of the show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Well, you've seen off a couple of seasoned quizzers, two-nil,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14in the head-to-head to come through.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Don't ask us how.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, you've done incredibly well, is how.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20As always, you start this round off by choosing a category
0:36:20 > 0:36:23and you have four options. They are:
0:36:33 > 0:36:36What's it going to be, funny men or Navratilova?
0:36:36 > 0:36:37SHE MUTTERS
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- So do you want to go acting funny men, then?- Yes.- Acting funny men.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Acting funny men. Richard?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Good luck. We'll give you three options.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46We're looking for any film made for or cinema
0:36:46 > 0:36:51release before the start of October 2013 starring any of the following:
0:36:58 > 0:37:01So any film for which one of those three received an acting credit
0:37:01 > 0:37:05according to IMDB before the start of October 2013.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08As always, no TV films, short films, documentaries.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Just credited performances in feature films. Very, very best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Thanks very much.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:16 > 0:37:19and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is for just
0:37:19 > 0:37:21one of the answers to be pointless.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23The answers can come from any of these categories.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26You can spread across the categories as you like.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29They can be one from each, two from one - entirely up to you.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Are you ready?- Yep.- Yep.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Your time starts now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39All right... Matt Lucas, um...
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Was he in Bridesmaids?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I think he was in Bridesmaids.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Stephen Fry, was it the Oscar Wilde
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- film?- Yeah.- Was it called Oscar?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Oscar.- John Cleese. What's the one with the Wanda film?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Or what about time?- Yeah, I know
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- the one...- A Fish Called Wanda.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Fish Called Wanda.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Time Bandits.- Time Bandits. SHE MUTTERS
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Yeah, Time Bandits I think will
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- probably be more...- OK.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Do you want to go Time Bandits for Stephen Fry...- Yeah.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Bridesmaids for Matt Lucas... - Stephen Fry.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Sorry, Stephen Fry, Oscar.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16John Cleese,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Time Bandits.- Time Bandits.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Matt Lucas,
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Bridesmaids.- Bridesmaids. OK.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- You're happy with that?- Yeah.- OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Well, stop the clock. There we are.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28So you've got your three answers.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Remind me what they are.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35- Matt Lucas, Bridesmaids.- Bridesmaids for Matt Lucas.- Stephen Fry, Oscar.
0:38:35 > 0:38:41- Oscar for Stephen Fry. - And Time Bandits for John Cleese.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Time Bandits for John Cleese.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Time Bandits...- Matt Lucas... - Um, yeah, OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54OK, you put Bridesmaids last. Least likely to be Pointless?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Stephen Fry...- Stephen Fry.- OK. Stephen Fry,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00and we'll put John Cleese in the middle in Time Bandits.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04We'll pop those up on the board, and here they come. We have:
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Very best of luck. Your first answer was Oscar.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18only one of these answers must be pointless to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19If you were to win it, Erica,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Um, it's Dave's 50th next year.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30He's renting us a villa in Spain for two weeks and all of us are going out
0:39:30 > 0:39:35there, so I'll use my share for going up for the villa, paying extra.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Dave?- Same thing.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39It'd be quite weird if you said, "Yeah, I won't be."
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- I'll be spending it on my en suite."- I'm out of here.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Uh, OK. Best of luck. Oscar, your first answer.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Obviously, this has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52so for £1,000, let's find out how many of our 100 people said Oscar
0:39:52 > 0:39:54was a Stephen Fry film.
0:39:56 > 0:40:03- No!- I know.- Oh, do you?- Yeah, it's Wilde. It's called Wilde. Not Oscar.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Not Oscar. OK. An incorrect answer, not a pointless answer.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Your next answer is Time Bandits.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15This is under the category of John Cleese films.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Let's find out for £1,000 how many of our 100 people said
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Time Bandits.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24It's right.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Your first answer was Oscar which turned out to be incorrect,
0:40:27 > 0:40:32but your second answer, Time Bandits for John Cleese, very much correct.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Down it goes into single figures.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Still going down! One. Stops on one.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Very well done indeed, Dave and Erica. That's a great answer.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Sadly, not a pointless answer. Everything is riding on your third
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and final answer which is Bridesmaids.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Let's find out. This was your most confident shot at the jackpot.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59For £1,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bridesmaids was
0:40:59 > 0:41:01a Matt Lucas film.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Well, it's right. Oscar, your first answer, was an incorrect answer.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Your second answer, Time Bandits,
0:41:11 > 0:41:12took us all the way down to one.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Your third answer, Bridesmaids, still going down.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Oh, three!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Bad luck. You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:27 > 0:41:29answer and you don't win the £1,000 jackpot.
