0:00:20 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show
0:00:26 > 0:00:28where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- And couple number one.- Hi, my name's Andrea. This is Linda.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We're work colleagues and friends from Cheshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Wayne and this is my partner, Matt. We're from London.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm Mike, this is my dad, Terence, and we're from Ballymena in Northern Ireland.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- And finally couple number four. - Hi, I'm Chris and this is Charlie.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And we're friends from Heald Green Theatre Company in Manchester.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:08 > 0:01:10a man known for his giant intellect,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and I know this because he edits his own Wikipedia page.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Afternoon.- And to you, afternoon.- How are you?- I'm very well.- Excellent.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Our jackpot is coming along quite nicely, isn't it?- It is.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- It's a nice sum of money now.- Yeah. - No pressure for anyone here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Coming back, we've got Charlie and Chris, who will definitely have
0:01:34 > 0:01:37one eye on that jackpot, because they were terrific last time.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42One-all in the head-to-head and they had a final question on Tom Jones.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And I think you knew everything on the board.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Just chose the wrong one in the end.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48But they are going to be very, very tough to beat.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- But up against them today we have... There's a vicar somewhere.- Yes.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Amongst our new players there is a vicar.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59There's also, for the first time ever in Pointless history,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01someone wearing a peach hoodie.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02LAUGHTER
0:02:02 > 0:02:06First time. I won't tell you who it is!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- I'm none the wiser(!)- No. You'll find out as you go along.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12OK, I'll ask some searching questions. Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14All our questions on Pointless
0:02:14 > 0:02:16have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:22 > 0:02:24that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Now, Rachel and Olwen didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:30 > 0:02:32so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35so today's jackpot starts off at £7,750.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37There we are.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38APPLAUSE
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45APPLAUSE
0:02:46 > 0:02:48OK, now, the pair with the highest score
0:02:48 > 0:02:50will be eliminated at the end of the round.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Remember, there is to be no conferring during the round.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Our category for the first round today is...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03who's going to go second?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Famous Georges, Richard.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17On each pass we'll give you seven descriptions of people
0:03:17 > 0:03:19who are commonly known by the first name George.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Can you give us the best obscure answer?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24There's going to be 14 Georges to find at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We are looking for these famous people called George.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Our first board of seven reads like this.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55I'll read them one last time.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Linda and Andrea, you all drew lots before the show,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and today you are going to go first. Linda, welcome to the show.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24What do you do in this office you share with Andrea?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm a civil servant. I work for the Department of Health.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Which bit of the Department of Health?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The section I work for, we buy pharmaceuticals
0:04:31 > 0:04:33on behalf of the NHS.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37So do you decide which drugs are going to be bought by the NHS?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39We work in conjunction with pharmacists.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41They're not very good at being told what to do.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Now, Linda, I'm going to ask you something. Forgive me for this.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48But during a week, any given week,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52how often are you NOT approached and asked if you are Carol Vorderman?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54LAUGHTER
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It has been asked occasionally.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It occasionally happens that somebody doesn't ask you
0:04:59 > 0:05:00- if you're Carol Vorderman.- Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now then, Linda... Linda, famous Georges.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08I think I know a few. But I think I'm going to play safe
0:05:08 > 0:05:10and go for the composer of Rhapsody In Blue.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- I am going to say George Gershwin. - George Gershwin says Linda.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17let's see how many of our 100 people said George Gershwin.
0:05:25 > 0:05:2632.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28APPLAUSE
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Not bad.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Not a bad start. 32 for George Gershwin.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Yeah, born in 1898, George Gershwin.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's very recently that the last person born in the 19th century
0:05:37 > 0:05:38in Britain died.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You can't meet anyone in Britain who lived in the 19th century.- Any more.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- She was called Grace Jones.- Was she really?- Yeah. Not the singer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Now, Matt, welcome to the show. What do you do, Matt?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- I'm an administrator for a charity in London.- What are your interests?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Music, really.- OK, do you have pets, do you have...?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- I have a dog called Lola. She's a puppy.- What kind of dog?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- She's a pug.- I love a pug. - She's my daughter.- Aww!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Tell me something unusual about yourself, Matt.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I can bark like a dog and I'm double-jointed down one side.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Which of those two would you like to see evidence of?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18LAUGHTER
0:06:18 > 0:06:21If I'm honest, I'd like to see you bark like a dog.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I'm not sure about the double-jointed thing.- Down one side.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25We'll go for bark like a dog, Matt.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27HE BARKS
0:06:27 > 0:06:28LAUGHTER
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That is like a dog.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32APPLAUSE
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That is like a dog.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I tell you what, people often send in pictures to Twitter
0:06:36 > 0:06:38of their pets watching Pointless.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41There'll be a whole lot of dogs going, "Finally, something for me!"
0:06:41 > 0:06:43LAUGHTER
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Now then, Matt, famous Georges.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I actually, embarrassingly, only know two on there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Well, I THINK I know two.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Um, I don't know if to chance it or not,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54but I'll go with the playwright.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And I'll say George Orwell.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00George Orwell says Matt. The author of Pygmalion.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Let's see if that's right, and, if it is,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05let's see how many of our 100 people said George Orwell.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Bad luck, Matt. I'm sorry.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Great barking, less good on the answering, I'm afraid.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15That scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Sorry, Matt. It turns out you didn't know two.- No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Thanks, Rich. Terence.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Hi, Alexander. - There we are. There we are.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Welcome to the show. Where are you from?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32We live in Belfast but we're originally from Ballymena.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34And you are a vicar.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I am a part-time vicar nowadays,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40but I was a full-time vicar for many years.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- And I see one of my bosses actually in the...- Certainly you do.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46..in the list.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48And what are your interests other than vicaring?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Obviously, vicaring takes up... Vicaring? Honestly!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Is that the best I can come up with? - That's good.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- I was going to tell you I hatch, match and dispatch.- Indeed.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Hatch - baptisms.- Match - marriage. And dispatch.- Yeah.- Then burial.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And dispatch - you run a courier company!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Other than that, I enjoy cooking, and occasionally eating it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13And I enjoy the foreign cuisine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'll come to Mike on the next pass and see if he backs this up.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18What do you think is your best dish?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Er...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I like cooking paella.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Right.- SPANISH ACCENT:- Paella.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Excellent.- Without the accent.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Exactly. - LAUGHTER
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Now, Terence, there is a board of Georges, a whole board of Georges.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Only one of them has gone.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Which one are you going to go for?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, being a vicar,
0:08:43 > 0:08:44there are two of them there
0:08:44 > 0:08:47that I SHOULD know the answer to.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I think that I will plump for the Archbishop of Canterbury,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53George Carey.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54George Carey says Terence.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Let's hear if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Well, you're already lower than our highest score.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Will you go lower than 32?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Yes, you will. You are our new low scorer on 10. Very well done indeed.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10APPLAUSE
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Good work.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yes, he was the 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Was he a good boss, Terence?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I never saw him much, really.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- That's what I call a good boss! - He was slightly elevated.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Charlie, welcome back.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Tell us the story of last time.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well, we got through to the head-to-head.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34As Richard said, we got Tom Jones. I was really pleased.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36We knew four of the answers
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and we plumped not for the lowest answer.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Now, we know that you are Mr Theatre up there in Manchester.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46How long have you been running the theatre?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Running the theatre... HELPING to run the theatre.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Helping to run the theatre.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I've been a member of the theatre for about 15 years,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56but I've only joined the committee this very year.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- So it's been a baptism of fire. - Very good indeed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Now, Charlie, you are the last person to have all these Georges.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Do you fancy talking us through as many of them as you can?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I think I know most of them.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think the first one's George Clooney.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I don't know the preacher.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13George Foreman.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I think it's George Lucas,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and the answer I'm going for, the last one,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21which is the playwright, George Bernard Shaw.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24George Bernard Shaw, says Charlie. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26let's see how many of our 100 people said George Bernard Shaw.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Well, of our correct answers 32 is the highest scorer, 10 the low.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3538 for GBS.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38APPLAUSE
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Yes, the only person in history to win a Nobel Prize and an Oscar,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45George Bernard Shaw. How about that?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It was George Clooney who played Danny Ocean.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Would have scored you 42 points. The 17th-century English preacher,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56this is the best answer on the board...
0:10:56 > 0:10:57It was George Fox.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Very well done if you said that. 5 points for that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The stage name of the comedian, of course, George Formby,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05When I'm Cleaning Windows. 61.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And the Hollywood director was George Lucas
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- and he would have scored you 23. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Now then, we're halfway through the round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Let's take a look at those scores as they stand. 10, Terence.
0:11:16 > 0:11:1810, Terence. That was a cracking answer there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Lovely low score, well done.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22That puts you and Mike in a very strong position at this stage.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Then we go up to 32, where we find Linda and Andrea,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27then up to 38, where we find Charlie and Chris.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Then all the way up to 100, Matt and Wayne.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So, yes, Wayne, we need some low scores from you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Or, in fact, just one low score from you.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35That's enough to see you through.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Best of luck with that, we're going to come back down the line,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41can the seconds players please step up to the podium.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46OK, let's put seven more characters on our board of Georges.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And here they are. We have got...
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'll read those all one final time.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36There we are. Seven more famous Georges.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And, Chris, you're going to try to find the one you think
0:12:39 > 0:12:44the fewest of our 100 people knew. Chris, welcome back. Welcome back.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45I think Charlie was a bit surprised
0:12:45 > 0:12:48by how high George Bernard Shaw scored in that last pass.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53That was quite a high score. Now, Chris, remind us what you do.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- I'm a retired teacher. - Retired teacher.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59But also you help run the theatre
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and, in your case, you are the overall boss.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- I'm the chair.- Exactly.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Exactly. And what are your hobbies aside from the theatre?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Apart from amateur dramatics I do youth work.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I'm a Girls' Brigade senior leader.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Good stuff. Well, there you are on 38,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18the high scorers Wayne and Matt on 100,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21which means 61 or less sees you into the second round.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Which of the Georges are you going to go for?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The author, I think.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- I think it's George Eliot. - George Eliot, says Chris.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36There's your red line, get below that and you're in Round Two.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Well done, you've done it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- George Eliot, 28. - APPLAUSE
0:13:46 > 0:13:4866 your total.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well played, Chris. Yeah, she lived quite an eventful life.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53She moved in with a married man and then when he died
0:13:53 > 0:13:56she moved in with a man 20 years younger than her as well.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Good for her.- Good for her.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Mike.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Alexander.- Welcome. Welcome to the show.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- First question - how's your dad's paella?- Very nice.- Oh, it's good?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- It is all it's cracked up to be. - I don't know if I'd be saying that if he wasn't standing here though.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13OK, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK. Mike, what do you do?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I work in a further-education college in the finance department.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21And when you're not doing that, what do you get up to?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Massively into rugby and football as well.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Big fan of Newcastle United.- Are you? Newcastle, that's your team?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Mike... Mike would be quite scary,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33running at speed towards you with a ball.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Mm. Yeah.- Maybe not to you,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39but to me, I would be tempted to run the other way.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Now then, Mike - Georges.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I think I know two...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm convinced I know two or three of them,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but I think I'm going to go for the bottom one, 007,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- and go George Lazenby. - George Lazenby.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You want to score 89 or less
0:14:54 > 0:14:56to avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57There's your red line.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Lazenby.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Very well done.
0:15:06 > 0:15:0756.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09APPLAUSE
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Takes your total to 66, exactly the same total as Chris and Charlie,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and you are through to the next round. Well done.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Yeah, he was in On Her Majesty's Secret Service,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21and 007 Magazine voted it the best Bond film of all time.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Really? That's a purist line to take, isn't it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What did George Lazenby get up to after that?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Lazenby? All sorts.- Did he? I mean in a professional capacity?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Oh... I don't know. LAUGHTER
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now then, Wayne. Wayne, you have a task.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You have a task here...
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- I do.- ..which is, you have to score hardly anything.- Right, good.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Wayne, if you had to describe the colour of your top -
0:15:45 > 0:15:48searching question - what would it be?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Well, I would say it's more orange to be honest with you.- More orange?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Do you know, I said it was orange. And our producer said it was peach.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I thought it was orange. - It was orange when I bought it, it might have faded.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Yeah, it's been through the wash.- Sorry.- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- We'll go with peach. - But it's him, isn't it? It's him.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- It is him.- I knew. I thought it was. Well done, well done.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09APPLAUSE
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I thought it was him.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Wayne, what are you going to go for from the Georges?- Hmm.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Well, my answer's gone, so I think...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I think the producer of The Beatles was...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- George Martin. - George Martin, says Wayne.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31but let's see how many of our 100 people said George Martin.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34It's right.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Wow.
0:16:42 > 0:16:4719 is the second-lowest score of the round so far -
0:16:47 > 0:16:48for George Martin?!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I would have thought in the high 90s.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- For George Martin?! - George Martin!- Not really.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Yes.- A, it's quite a long time ago. B, the name is...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's quite a...normal name, isn't it?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Very easy name to forget, George Martin.
0:17:00 > 0:17:0230 UK number one singles, George Martin.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04That's a very good answer from Wayne,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07did exactly what you had to do there to keep yourself in the game.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Now then, Andrea.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Andrea, you've been so patient, you've waited all this time.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17There you are on 32, 119 is the highest score,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20which means 86 or less will see you through.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22But first, Andrea, tell us about yourself.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23I'm a civil servant,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I've worked with Linda for about 12 years now.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I work for the Department of Health as well.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Exactly the same department as Linda?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We do slightly different jobs. I work with NHS procurement policy,
0:17:34 > 0:17:40helping trusts to buy better as a National Health Service
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and in my spare time I've got two children,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- so I don't have much spare time.- No.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48But I've taken up running.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I say running, I mean jogging.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53What sort of length of jog? Do you do it in distance or in minutes?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58I did the Great North Run twice, but that is not a usual run!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- OK.- I would stop after the first time, if I'm honest with you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04If they did a Great North Jog I would do that, you see,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06but it's the "run" bit that puts me off.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08You can jog it, that's fine.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Anyway, there we are. We need 86 or less from you, Andrea.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12This is all yours, this board is all yours -
0:18:12 > 0:18:15only three Georges have gone, the rest are all yours.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Do you fancy talking us through them?- A lot of mine have gone.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I think...fought Muhammad Ali in the Rumble In The Jungle
0:18:23 > 0:18:25is George Foreman.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I don't know the American band leader.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31President of the USA - George W Bush.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33English horse painter - no idea.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37So I think I will go for the top one and George Foreman.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38George Foreman.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK, are you sure you don't want to change that to George Formby?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It is available to you if you'd like to. George Foreman. There is your red line,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47get below that and you're in Round Two.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50George Foreman. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It's right and you're through, very well done, Andrea.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- 39. - APPLAUSE
0:19:00 > 0:19:0271 your total.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Well played, Andrea. Two-time World Heavyweight Champion.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The President of the USA was George W Bush,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11actually would have seen you through
0:19:11 > 0:19:13because it would only have scored you 72 points.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The American band leader of Parliament and Funkadelic,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- do you know that?- George Clinton. - It is George Clinton, yep.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21That would've scored you 7 points. And the English horse painter?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- George Stubbs. - George Stubbs is the right answer,
0:19:24 > 0:19:25and that would've scored you 12.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28So the best answer up there is George Clinton, well done if you said that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Thanks very much indeed, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33the pair heading home with a high score of 119,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35it's Wayne, in the peach hoody, and Matt.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you,
0:19:37 > 0:19:38but we will see you next time,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41when I hope you'll be with us for much, much longer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Wayne and Matt, great contestants.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:50But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59we will have to say goodbye to another pair
0:19:59 > 0:20:01in time for the head-to-head.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Well, it's very, very close. Very, very close.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Andrea and Linda, you were just, by a margin, our highest scorers there.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12But Terence and Mike, Charlie and Chris all on the same score of 66.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's fair to say there's barely a paella rice grain between you.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Our category for Round Two is...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22..Snooker.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Can you all decided in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40..as they could.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Players who completed in the 2013 World Snooker Championship.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Richard.- Yep, we're looking for the names of any of the 32 players
0:20:47 > 0:20:50who reached the televised stages of the 2013 World Snooker Championships
0:20:50 > 0:20:52at The Crucible, please. Very best of luck.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Now then, Andrea. Snooker.- Yes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- It's a dream come true, isn't it? - No. More of a nightmare, really.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I don't even know if this guy is a snooker player,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05but it sounds plausible.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'm going to say Marco Fu.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Marco Fu.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Yeah.- Marco Fu. Let's see if that's right
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Marco Fu.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17He's right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Very well done, Andrea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Still going down. 3! Very well done indeed.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Now, that's how you play Pointless, very well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That's 3 for Marco Fu.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34That's a terrific answer, Andrea. Yeah, born in 1978 in Hong Kong.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Normally when people say, "I don't know if this person is a snooker player,"
0:21:37 > 0:21:40they just come up with something or other, but that's a very good answer.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Terence.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Are you going to be good at this, Terence?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Hmm...- I'm going to say yes. - Maybe, maybe.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I would have known a few maybe 20, 30 years ago,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53but not so many in 2013.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'm going to guess.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Mark Allen.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Mark Allen says Terence. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03let's see how many of our 100 people said Mark Allen.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It's right. Well, 3 is our high and low score at this point.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Mark Allen takes us...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15down to pointless! Look at that, Terence. Very well done indeed.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16APPLAUSE
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21takes the total up to £8,000.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Most importantly, it scores you nothing.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Very well done indeed, Terence, great answer there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Well played, Terence. "The Pistol", Mark Allen, and where's he from?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- He's from Antrim in Northern Ireland.- He sure is.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Yeah.- And I used to be his vicar!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- No!- Yes.- Did you?- Yes, I did.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- That's quite cool, isn't it? - That is quiet cool.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44That's the first time that someone has given us an answer,
0:22:44 > 0:22:45someone they used to be the vicar of.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48LAUGHTER
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Charlie.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Does that expression on your face mean
0:22:53 > 0:22:56that this is not an ideal round for you?
0:22:56 > 0:23:01I have absolutely no idea of any snooker player from 2013.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I can only think of people from the past
0:23:02 > 0:23:04who are definitely not playing now.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08So we're going to be in the making up a name.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10This is always my favourite phase of the game.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Particularly when it's making up a snooker name.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I want to know what Charlie's kind of a snooker name...
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Yeah, where do you start?- Yeah. - I'm going to go for Smith.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And I'm going to go for...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Mike Smith.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27I'm... I'm disappointed.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29LAUGHTER
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- That's all I'm going to say. Mike Smith. Smithy?- The Smithster.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Smithy, the Smithster.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Let's see if Mike Smith is a snooker player
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and, if he is, let's see if he played in the 2013 championship.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Mike Smith - is it right?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46No.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Charlie,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Yeah, sorry, Charlie, famously beaten 10-9 by Mark Allen
0:23:54 > 0:23:56in the final qualifying round, Mike Smith.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Well, Terence, what can I say?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05That was a splendid answer there,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Terence and Mike looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Then up to 3 - Andrea and Linda, what can I say?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Andrea and Linda looking pretty strong at this stage of the game.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Charlie, what can I say?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Mike Smith.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yeah, I'm afraid snooker, you either know it or you don't.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27But there we are. Now, Chris, something could be salvageable here
0:24:27 > 0:24:29if you know your snooker.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Yeah(!)- If you can find a pointless answer,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and Linda has a nightmare in the next pass,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37it could happen that you'll make it through to the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Now then, Chris.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49We're looking for 2013 World Championship Snooker players.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, yeah, I know loads(!)
0:24:51 > 0:24:53That's what I'm hoping you'd say.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I only know one from the past.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58He may still be playing, I don't know.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Steve Hendry.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Steve Hendry. OK, Chris said Steve Hendry.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05There's no red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07but let's see if that's right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11No. Bad luck, Chris.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'm sorry, that's another incorrect answer,
0:25:14 > 0:25:15scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Yeah, he bowed out the previous year, I'm afraid, Stephen Hendry.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22With a 147 as well, at The Crucible.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Mike, good news,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29you are through to the next round. But how well did your dad do?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Did pretty well. He did well. - Yeah, that was pretty impressive.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That was the answer I was going to give, but!
0:25:34 > 0:25:38There might be another pointless answer in there, Mike.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39You've got to find it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I don't think this'll be pointless,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but I'm going to go for Neil Robertson.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Neil Robertson. OK. Let's see if that's right
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50No red line for you, cos you're already through.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52That's a nice reason not to have a red line.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But let's see how many people said Neil Robertson.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03That's a good score, down it goes, look at that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Very well done indeed. 3.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Great score, Mike. That takes your total up to 3.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Well played, Michael.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Yeah, the 2010 World Champion from Australia.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Lost in the first round in 2013.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Thanks, Richard. Now, Linda,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- great news, you're through to the head-to-head.- That's good.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Snooker not such a...?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Nightmare. Nightmare.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30There is one name jingling around in my head
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and I'm going to go for it as we're through anyway.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- Peter Ebdon.- Peter Ebdon.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36OK, let's see if that's right.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37No red line for you because you're through.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Let's see if anyone said Peter Ebdon. Is it right?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44It's right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Look at that, 7. Very well done indeed, Linda.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Great performance,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56really proper Pointless performance there on the first podium.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5810 is your total.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Very well played, another former World Champion from 2002.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04There's plenty of pointless answers and people who know their snooker
0:27:04 > 0:27:07will definitely have got one of these. Let's take a look.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10You could have had Sam Baird, you could have had Michael White.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Matt Selt would have been a pointless answer.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Martin Gould was a pointless answer, good snooker player,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18good darts player as well. Used to be a croupier. There's Mark Allen.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Marcus Campbell, the Scot, a pointless answer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You could have had Ben Woollaston, you could have had Barry Hawkins,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26who got into the final -
0:27:26 > 0:27:28he got beaten in the final and he was a pointless answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Ricky Walden, who was in the semifinal, was also a pointless answer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And another Scot there, Alan McManus was a pointless answer.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You also could have had Robert Milkins,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38you could have had Dechawat Poomjaeng,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40he would have been a pointless answer.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Let's take a look at the three biggest scorers,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:44 > 0:27:478 points for the third biggest scorer, Mark Williams.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50And then two more familiar names, John Higgins with 16,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52and up the top, Ronnie. I can't believe no-one said him.
0:27:52 > 0:27:5549 points for Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58So, at the end of our second round,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I'm afraid it's Chris and Charlie, finally hit the buffers.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04You've gone strong through one and a half Pointless shows.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Brilliant performance last time
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and today I'm afraid it was all going so well
0:28:08 > 0:28:10until you ran into snooker.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13But there we are. A valiant performance nonetheless
0:28:13 > 0:28:15but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thanks so much for playing - Chris and Charlie.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21APPLAUSE
0:28:21 > 0:28:24But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Congratulations, Mike and Terence, Andrea and Linda,
0:28:31 > 0:28:32you're now one step closer to the final
0:28:32 > 0:28:34and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36which currently stands at £8,000.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38CHEERING
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:28:42 > 0:28:44and, to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47The big difference is obviously you are now allowed to confer
0:28:47 > 0:28:49and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:49 > 0:28:51will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Well, both of you have done very, very well indeed.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Mike and Terence, fantastic performance,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and a pointless answer there, that really was great play.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00But, Andrea and Linda,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03considering snooker wasn't really your strong suit,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I think you did phenomenally well in that last round.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09This is going to be a needle head-to-head.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Best of luck to both pairs, let's play it!
0:29:11 > 0:29:14APPLAUSE
0:29:16 > 0:29:20OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22reunions.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Reunions. Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures of bands
0:29:25 > 0:29:27that have reunited since the year 2000.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Can you name the most obscure of these?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, let's reveal our five reunions,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and here they are. We have got...
0:29:52 > 0:29:55There we are. Five reunions.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Mike and Terence, you've played best throughout the show,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01so you will go first.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04(A is Take That, B is Stone Roses.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08(C is...Spandau Ballet. D is Steps.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10(E is...Blue.)
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It's between B and C, then? (Between B and C?)
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- (Aye.- Which one would you...)
0:30:15 > 0:30:16(I'll go B.)
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I'm going to go for...
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Sorry, WE'RE going to go for B - The Stone Roses.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Stone Roses, say Mike and Terence.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27B and The Stone Roses.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Now then, Andrea and Linda.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32D'you fancy talking us through the rest of the board?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35OK, this is more up our street, to be honest.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37We think A is Take That.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40C is Spandau Ballet.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44D is Steps and E looks like Blue.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48But it's what to go for. Spandau Ballet?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Yeah.- They look quite different.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Yeah, we'll go for C - Spandau Ballet, please.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56OK, C - Spandau Ballet, say Andrea and Linda.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59So we have The Stone Roses versus Spandau Ballet.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Mike and Terence said The Stone Roses was B.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08It's right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- 14. - APPLAUSE
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Well played, Mike.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That's a good score.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Now, Andrea and Linda,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24you thought this was probably the hardest one to recognise.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Spandau Ballet, you're saying.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28For C, let's see if that's right,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Spandau Ballet.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It's right.
0:31:38 > 0:31:4032.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43APPLAUSE
0:31:43 > 0:31:4832, which means, Mike and Terence, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Yes, I think both teams knew all of them there
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and both teams picked the best answer they could do,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55cos they're the best two answers on the board.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57A is Take That, it's a big scorer though,
0:31:57 > 0:31:58it would have scored you 80 points.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00D, you're right, is Steps.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Quite a big scorer, actually, for Steps.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It would have scored you 51.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05And you're right about Blue as well,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08and Blue would have scored you 47, another hefty score.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now here comes your second question.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Andrea and Linda, you'll get to answer this one first,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Potato varieties, Richard.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Does anybody need five minutes to calm down or are you OK? Shall we...
0:32:27 > 0:32:29We're going to show you five varieties of potatoes,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31but we've mashed them up, they're all anagrams.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35LAUGHTER Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer, please?
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they are. Anagrams of potatoes.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51I'll read those one last time.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03And Andrea and Linda, you will go first this time.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06"Dongle" is "golden".
0:33:09 > 0:33:12An anagram of "downer" - "Golden Wonder".
0:33:12 > 0:33:14You sure? Is the second one better?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- OK, we'll go for the...second one down?- Mm-hm.- ..As a Maris Piper.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Maris Piper, say Andrea and Linda. Maris Piper.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Now, Mike and Terence,
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Maris Piper has gone.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31What about those other ones? Do you fancy having a crack at those?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34How many of them can you fill in, do you think?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36The bottom one's King Edward.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Rooster, Estima, Maris Piper...
0:33:41 > 0:33:44..and...I know the top one.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48I've forgotten it now. But we'll just go Estima. We'll go Estima.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49- Estima?- Yeah.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Estima. So we have Maris Piper and we have Estima.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Andrea and Linda said Maris Piper. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01It's right.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- 59. - APPLAUSE
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Now, Mike and Terence have said Estima.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22It's right. Is it going to beat 59? Yes, it is, look at that.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Down it goes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- 6. - APPLAUSE
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Very well done, Terence and Mike,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33after two questions only you are through to the final 2-0.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Very well played, gents, yeah,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38there's only one answer that would have beaten it, it's the top one.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39We've all eaten plenty of them.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41I think, Linda and Andrea, you might know it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Yeah, Golden Wonder. Oh!- It would have scored you 3 points.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49The best answer up there. And we know the bottom two - Rooster is right.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Quite a low scorer though, it would have scored you 15.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57And "New Dark Dig" is King Edward and would have scored 37 points.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Thanks very much, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I'm afraid it's Andrea and Linda, but in a way it's good news,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06cos it means we get to see you again next time.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Had you gone to the final that would have been it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11But as it is you'll be back and we've got a whole new show to enjoy with you,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13which we'll do very much.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Thanks so much for playing, Andrea and Linda. Great performance.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:21But for Mike and Terence it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24APPLAUSE
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Congratulations, Mike and Terence.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28You've fought off all the competition
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:40 > 0:35:43and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £8,000.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44There we are.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- AUDIENCE:- Whoo! - APPLAUSE
0:35:46 > 0:35:51Of course, part of that jackpot is down to you and your pointless answer.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54But d'you know what? I think it's fallen pretty well for you
0:35:54 > 0:35:57because let's just cast our minds back.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- We had your boss in Round One, George Carey.- Yeah.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Then we had a parishioner of yours, Mark Allen.- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Loosely speaking.- Loosely speaking.
0:36:05 > 0:36:11- Then we had Stone Roses, which was a little bit of Mike's 20s.- Potatoes.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13And then we had potatoes.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- About which you knew everything. - Everything.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17It was like you'd written the book.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21So if we just follow this trajectory,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24what would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27The disciples?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- LAUGHTER - Now, wouldn't that be a thing?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Yeah, that would be a thing. "Name the 12 disciples!"
0:36:34 > 0:36:38OK. Well, as always, you kick-start this round by choosing the option
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and you have four of them.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41They are...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Roaring Twenties.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Men's Running Records.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Goon Films...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50The Disciples.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- LAUGHTER - Male Music Legends.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- What's it going to be? - Not Roaring Twenties.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- No. Goon Films? No. - Male Music Legends?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- No. So it's between Men's Running Records...- No idea.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- We're going to go Male Music Legends.- Male Music Legends.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- OK, Richard.- Good luck. We'll give you three options. Take your answers from any of these.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We're looking for any UK top 40 single
0:37:14 > 0:37:16by any of the following:
0:37:24 > 0:37:27All members of the Traveling Wilburys. Any UK top 40 hit by...
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Very, very best of luck.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, now, as ever, you've got up to one minute
0:37:33 > 0:37:36to come up with three answers, and to win that jackpot
0:37:36 > 0:37:38all you need is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41The answers you provide can come from any of these categories,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43it's up to you how you spread them across the categories.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47They can all come from the same one or one from each, two from one, one from another, it's up to you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Is it only as singles? As single performers?- Top 40 singles.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Soloists, yeah.- Yeah, soloists.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- No idea.- Bob Dylan.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07The Times... The Winds Are A-Blowin'.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- That's not pointless.- No.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Roy Orbison. The only one I know's Pretty Woman!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- George Harrison - My Sweet Lord. - Cryin'. My Sweet Lord.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25- I know... I know...- We'll go Bob Dylan.- We need pointless answers!
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Like A Rolling Stone. Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Just looking for a punt that's, like, even close.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34We'll just go with the ones we have now. We'll just go with them.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36My Sweet Lord, will that be...?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Let's do Tambourine Man. - Yeah. Keep going.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Ten seconds left.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Right, Cryin'. Tambourine Man, and...
0:38:50 > 0:38:51..Knockin' On Heaven's Door?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59What are you going to go for?
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- We're going to go Roy Orbison's single, Cryin'.- Cryin'.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man. - Mr Tambourine Man.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- And Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door.- Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- I think Mr Tambourine Man. - Mr Tambourine we'll put last.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Mr Tambourine Man. Your least likely?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I can't remember what the third one we said was!
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- You had Cryin', Knockin' On Heaven's Door...- Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29We'll put that first.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31OK, let's pop your answers up on the board in that order
0:39:31 > 0:39:33and here they are.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34We've got...
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Well, very best of luck.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Your first answer was Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Remember, only one of those answers has to be pointless for you to win
0:39:46 > 0:39:49that jackpot of £8,000. What would you do if you won that, Mike?
0:39:49 > 0:39:54First train to King's Cross, go out in London. Spend the whole thing.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Really? - I wouldn't see too much of it.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59I'd give him the two trophies to hold onto.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- LAUGHTER - OK, well, best of luck.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Knockin' On Heaven's Door, your first answer. Let's find out.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Obviously, it has to be correct
0:40:06 > 0:40:08then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09So, for £8,000,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12let's see how many people thought Knockin' On Heaven's Door
0:40:12 > 0:40:14was a Bob Dylan top 40 single.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19It's right. That's the first thing it had to be.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Now, down it goes, through the 50s, through the 40s...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave with £8,000.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Still going down, still going down... 4!
0:40:28 > 0:40:31APPLAUSE THEY CHATTER
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Now, how's about that? 4 for Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39And you thought that was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41So that bodes pretty well for your next two answers.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43But unfortunately, it wasn't pointless.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Two more shots at today's jackpot. Your second answer was Cryin'.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Obviously, this has to be correct and it has to be pointless.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Let's find out. For £8,000, how many of our 100 people said Cryin'
0:40:55 > 0:40:56was a Roy Orbison single?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Again, it's right.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Your first answer, Knockin' On Heaven's Door took us
0:41:03 > 0:41:05all the way down to 4.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Cryin' now taking us down through the 20s,
0:41:09 > 0:41:10through the teens to 16.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13APPLAUSE THEY CHATTER
0:41:15 > 0:41:20OK. Only one answer left, everything is now riding on Mr Tambourine Man.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Let's find out.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27How many of our 100 people for £8,000 said Mr Tambourine Man
0:41:27 > 0:41:30was a Bob Dylan top 40 single?
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Oh, no!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Oh, bad luck. - APPLAUSE
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Well...nothing wrong with two of those answers
0:41:44 > 0:41:46and we'll discover what was wrong with the third in a moment,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49but unfortunately, you didn't manage to find a pointless answer,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52which means you don't win today's jackpot of £8,000.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55That will roll over on to the next show, but we've really enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Thank you for playing and you get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very, very well done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03APPLAUSE
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Unlucky, guys. Mr Tambourine Man, of course, written by Bob Dylan,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10but it was a hit for The Byrds in the UK. Number one for The Byrds.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16One of the first records I ever bought:
0:42:16 > 0:42:18George Harrison - All Those Years Ago. That was a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Any Road, also a pointless answer. Ding Dong and You.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Those are the only pointless answers for George Harrison.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Roy Orbison, you could have had...
0:42:30 > 0:42:32You could have had Say You're My Girl, Blue Angel,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart. You could have had Running Scared. All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38And Bob Dylan, some big names here.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Also could have had Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48You could have had One Of Us Must Know
0:42:48 > 0:42:51or Rainy Day Women was also a pointless answer for Bob Dylan.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Very well done if you said that at home.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Mike and Terence,
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Mick and Terence.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Well, unfortunately, Mike and Terence didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11when we will be playing for £9,000.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- AUDIENCE:- Whoo! - APPLAUSE
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22APPLAUSE
