APPLAUSE | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
the show where the aim of the game is to avoid obvious answers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
and find the obscure ones. Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
And couple number one. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
I'm Emma, this is Adam | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
-and we are friends and neighbours from south London. -Couple number two. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
My name's Tom. This is Dewi. We are mates from Cardiff. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
-Couple number three. -My name's Erica, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
this is my mum, Sandra, and we're from Newcastle. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
And finally, couple number four. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi, I'm Dave from Cumbernauld. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
This is my son, David, from Gourock. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
And these are today's contestants. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Thanks, all of you. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
We'll get to know more about each of you throughout the show as it | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
goes along. That leaves just one more person for me to introduce. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
He's the number-one googled celebrity in his house. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
It's my pointless friend. It's Richard. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-Afternoon. -And to you. -That was a fun show last time, wasn't it? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
A good show. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
John and Ollie somehow managed to get into the jackpot round. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Almost won as well, didn't they? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
They got a one pointer in the jackpot round. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
It was very, very close. They beat Erica and Sandra in the head-to-head. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Erica and Sandra, a very, very good team - | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
just to let the other three players know. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-Emma and Adam, nice to have neighbours on the show. -Yeah. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-That's quite a nice thing, isn't it? -It's quite rare, isn't it? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
The last podium, Dave and David. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
I like a man who calls his son after himself. Don't you? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
That tells you a certain something. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
We'll find out what it tells us as the show goes on, I'm sure. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Round one is the sort of one which will be just brilliant | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
for some people. Brilliant for some people at home, who'll love it. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
And some people are just going to hate it. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-OK. Which am I, do you think? -I don't think you're going to like it. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
OK. Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
All of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
and our contestants are on the hunt for one of those all-important | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
pointless answers, one of the answers our 100 people couldn't get. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
John and Ollie didn't win the jackpot last time | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
OK. Now, the pair with highest score at the end of this round | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
will be eliminated. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Also, do remember there is to be no conferring, during the round itself. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
Our first category today is: | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Boxing. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
Boxing. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
and who's going to go second. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Whoever is going to go first, please step up to the podium. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
world heavyweight champions as they could. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
World heavyweight champions. Richard. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
We are looking for the name of anyone who has been world heavyweight | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
champion from July 1921, all the way through to September 2012, please. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Any world heavyweight boxing champion sanctioned by the WBA, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
the WBC, the WBO or the IBF. Those are all the big world champions. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
From July 1921, all the way through to September 2012. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Very, very best of luck. Good luck at home as well | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Adam and Emma, you all drew lots before the show today. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
You are going to go first. You and Emma are neighbours. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-Absolutely next-door neighbours or over the road... -No, no. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
We used to live about five minutes away from each other | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
and now we live about ten minutes away. I know Emma through Liz, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Emma's sister. I went to university with her. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
That's how we actually know each other. Now we are neighbours. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-You knew each other first, then... -Yes. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
One of you recommended the area. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Me and my friend Liz moved to Balham and told Emma | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
she should come as well and she did. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-Now then, Adam, boxing. -Yes. -Do you follow it at all? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
I know a couple but I don't know if they are heavyweights or not. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
And whether or not they were champions. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
I'm going to take a stab in the dark at Vladimir Klitschko. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Vladimir Klitschko. Let's see if it's right | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
It's right, Adam. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Still going down, Adam. Still going down. 5. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
What a neighbourly gesture there, Emma. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-He has left you 5. This is good. Vladimir Klitschko. -Great start. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
I would not advise taking a stab in the dark at Vladimir Klitschko though. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
You might end up on your back. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
He has been world champion with different organising bodies. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Still world champion now. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Thanks very much indeed. Now, Tom, welcome to the show. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-Good to have you here. From Cardiff. -That's right. -This is great. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
We've just had seamless Cardiff representation across these shows. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-Tom, what do you do? -I work for an educational charity in Cardiff Bay. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
We aim to engage young people and the public with science | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-and maths, that sort of stuff. -How's that going? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Are you finding them engaged? -It's going swimmingly. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
For me, personally, I think they are engaged as well. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-How long have you been involved? -About a year and a half. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
And over the last year and a half, the graph goes like that. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
I've recently been promoted and I've now got a new job there. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
This is fantastic. Still within the same department. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Within the same department, behind a desk now. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Less work in the field, if you like. -Good stuff. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-Tom, boxing. -Yes. -World heavyweight champions. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Boxing's not the best but I'm going to have a stab at Lennox Lewis. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Lennox Lewis says Tom. Lennox Lewis. Let's see if that's right | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
and if it is, how many people said Lennox Lewis. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
It's right. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
5's our low AND high score. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
27 for Lennox Lewis. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Yeah, Lewis retired as heavyweight champion in 2004. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
Erica, welcome back to the show. Last time, what a performance. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
Through you went to the head-to-head, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
almost like you were on casters. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
You knew some low scoring answers | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
and didn't quite have the pointless neck to come out with. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
A pointless neck. I've never said that before. 650 odd shows. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-We were too cautious last time. -I think you were. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
You were playing a little bit cautiously. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
Luckily, it's boxing now, Erica, so the time for caution is behind us. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
I don't even know how you say it really, the guy's name. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
Is it Evander Holyfield? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Evander Holyfield, you are going to say. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
Evander Holyfield. Erica, let's see if it's right | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
It's absolutely right. Very well done, Erica. 27 our high score. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
5, our low. You passed 27 with flying colours. Nearly down to five. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Very well done, Erica. That's a great answer. Evander Holyfield. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
Evander Holyfield, very good answer. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
The only boxer to win the title four times, regained it three times. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-They call him the Real Deal. -The Real Deal. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Because he's from Deal in Kent. That's where he was born. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-Dave. Dave, welcome. Cumbernauld. -Yes. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
What do you get up to in Cumbernauld, Dave? | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Well, I've retired now. I've been retired for seven years. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
What did you do? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
I was senior control engineer with one of the power companies | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-in Scotland. -And what do you do now with your retirement? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Very little, actually. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
It's a very sedentary retirement but I quite enjoy driving. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
We have a touring caravan, so we tour around bits of this country | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
and have driven a fair bit abroad as well. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
I do enjoy my cars and driving. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-OK. Do you enjoy your boxing, Dave? -Not particularly, no. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-I think I will try Jack Dempsey. -Jack Dempsey, says Dave. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
Jack Dempsey. Let's see if that's right. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Let's see how many people said that. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
It's right. So, again, 27 still our high. 5 still our low. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
You passed 27. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
You passed 5. 4, a new low score, Dave. Very well done indeed. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
4 for Jack Dempsey. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Yeah, taking us right back, Dave. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
He was world champion between 1919 and 1926, Jack Dempsey. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-The Manassa Mauler. -The Nassa Mauler. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Manassa. -The Manassa... Where's Manassa? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Manassa is just east of Deal, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
a lovely little village just near the Cinque Ports. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
-No, it's in Colorado. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
We are halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
4, the best score of that pass. Dave, very well done. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Then up to 5, where Adam and Emma are. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Up to 8 were Erica and Sandra are. And Tom and Dewi, 27. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
I thought it was a good answer. But it was quite a high score. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Dewi, a low answer from you might be enough. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
We are going to come back down the line now. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
David, we are looking for the name of anyone who became | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
world heavyweight champion. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
You are on 4, thanks to your father's brilliant answer there. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
Jack Dempsey. Dave, what do you do? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
I run my own business selling art and prints | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
through a website that I run. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-How long have you done that for? -Round about four years now. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Would you want to have a gallery at any stage? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
I don't think I want a gallery. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
Galleries sell original prints, original paintings | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
and I don't think I want that. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
A shop doing art prints and gifts and crafts | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
and things like that, yeah, I can see me doing that. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Sounds good. OK, well, David, you are on 4. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
The high score is on 27, Dewi and Tom. If you can score 22 or less. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
It's trying to decide now how you play it. It was such a good score. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
There's a temptation to go safe but I have a name in my mind | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
and I think I'm going to go for it. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
I'm going to go for Floyd Mayweather Jr. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
Floyd Mayweather Jr says David. OK. Now then, it's red line time. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
We have a target for you and there it is. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
If you can go is below that red line, you are in Round Two. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Floyd Mayweather Jr. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Let's see if it is right and let's see how many people said it. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
Oh, no, David. Oh, bad luck. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
I'm sorry to say that is an incorrect answer. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Sounded brilliant to me but what do I know? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-That's scores you 100 points and takes you up to 104. -Sorry, David. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
One of the greatest boxers of all time, Floyd Mayweather Jr, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
certainly one of the richest boxers of all time but not a heavyweight. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
He's not even close to heavyweight, I'm afraid. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now then, Sandra, welcome back. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
How happy with you with this as a round generally? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
-I know nothing about boxing. -OK, but didn't Erica do well there? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-Didn't she though? Very well. -Didn't she do well? -Yes. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Remind us what you get up to, Sandra. What occupies you? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
I'm retired at the moment and I've never been busier in my life. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-What chiefly occupies you? -I do a lot of courses. I play piano. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
I swim. I enjoy myself thoroughly. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-Good stuff. Until this boxing question. -Until this came up! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
OK, listen, you only have to score 95 or less. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
OK, I'll go for Mike Tyson. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Mike Tyson, says Sandra. Mike Tyson. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
Here is your red line. Nice and high. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
He doesn't have to travel far to get you into the next round. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Mike Tyson. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
It's right and you're through. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
46. Very well done. 54 your total. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Very well played. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
One of the most iconic heavyweight champions of all time. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
I was with a guy the other day called Steve Bunce, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
who is a boxing journalist and commentator. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
He knows Tyson, has met a number of times. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
He told me some stories! | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
HE GASPS | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
Just extraordinary stuff. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
What a man. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
What a man. Now then, Dewi. Tell us what you do, Dewi. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
I'm a guitarist. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
I write and perform original music | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
but at the moment doing a lot of Spanish flamenco. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
I go around playing in fancy restaurants. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-So you are a classical guitarist. -Yeah, yeah. Classical. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Here's a question. Do you turn up with a little stool? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Do you bring a stool to put your foot on? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
No, and I think I'm probably worse off for it. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
My arm's starting to get a weird twitch. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
If you win the jackpot... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
I can buy all the stools I want! | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
The jackpot's not that big and those stools aren't cheap. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
But you could get yourself a stool, certainly. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
-A fancy stool. -A fancy stool to go with the fancy restaurant. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
It would be good. OK, but first, you have to win. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Yeah, I don't know if it's a risk or not but he's a big guy | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
so he might be world heavyweight. Joe Frazier. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
Joe Frazier, says Debbie. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Joe Frazier. There is your red line. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Get below that, you're in the second round. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Joe Frazier. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
It's absolutely right. And you are through. Well done, Dewi. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
26. Not a bad score at all. Takes your total to 53. Very well done. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
Smoking Joe Frazier, in fact, yeah. Terrific fighter. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
Most famously lost the Thriller In Manila to someone we won't mention. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Now then. Emma. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
Emma, you are most of the way through. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
You are literally... 98 or less will see you step | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
into the paradise that is round two. Emma, what do you do? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
-I'm on maternity leave at the moment. -Congratulations. -Thank you. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
How much longer do you have on maternity? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-I have another three months left. -That's nice. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
And when you finish your maternity, what will you return to? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
I'm an operations officer in the NHS. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
So, I manage the postgraduate training of doctors and dentists. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
-Right. How was the obstetrics on the delivery ward? -It was superb. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:38 | |
Absolutely superb and I kept telling them who I work for and that | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
I was responsible for whether they passed the year or not. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-I don't think that had any impact whatsoever. -Good, good. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
Now, boxing, world heavyweight boxing champions. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
It's not asking a lot. 98 or less sees you through. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
All of the things that I could think of have gone, apart from one, | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
and it's either really obvious or it's wrong. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
It's a famous boxer and I've no idea whether he was heavyweight. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:09 | |
He's just famous. I'm just going to go for it and cross my fingers, | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
and say Muhammad Ali. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Muhammad Ali, says Emma. Muhammad Ali. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Your red line is about to appear at the top of the column there. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
He really does not have to travel far to get you into the second | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
round. He just has to be right. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Let's find out. Muhammad Ali. Is it right? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
It's right. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
Well done. 75. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
It takes your total up to 80. Very well done indeed, Emma. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Yeah, the most famous heavyweight of all time. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
The most famous boxer of all time. The greatest of them all. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Muhammad Ali. 75 points sees you safely through. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
and I'll mention a few more as we go. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
The South African, Gerrie Coetzee, would have been a pointless answer. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
As would Francois Botha. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
Hasim Rahman, who beat Lennox Lewis in a shock, | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
he was a pointless answer. | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
A Brit who won one of the versions of the title, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
Henry Akinwande was a pointless answer. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
Herbie Hide, who won a similar title at the same time, was three points. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
James Bonecrusher Smith was a pointless answer - | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
that's a good nickname, isn't it? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
Michael Moorer, first southpaw to win the title, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
was a pointless answer. Michael Spinks was a pointless answer. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
Leon Spinks would have given you 11 points. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Oliver McCall, who lost his title to Frank Bruno, was a pointless answer. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Bruno would have scored you 26 points. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Riddick Bowe, who was the undisputed champion for a while, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
he was a pointless answer. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
And Trevor Berbick, who beat Ali in his last ever fight, | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
he was a pointless answer. Let's take a look at the top three, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
the ones that most of our 100 people said. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
A couple of those will be familiar names. Lennox Lewis, 27. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
Mike Tyson, 46, | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
and Muhammad Ali on 75. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
So at the end of our first round the pair heading home with a high | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
score of 104, it's David and Dave. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
Well, what a shame to be saying goodbye to you but, David, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
that was a good wrong answer. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
Boxing was never going to be a strong suit for me. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
I knew the name, I thought it sounds reasonably obscure so it was | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
worth a chance but perhaps should have played it safer. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
Well, it all bodes well for the next time we see you. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
We'll look forward to that very much, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
but in the meantime thanks very much for playing. David and Dave! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
And so three pairs remain. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
At the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
to another pair in time for our head-to-head round. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
Well done, everyone, we made it through! | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Erika, Sandra, that was great. Very well done. Some good answers there. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
Emma and Adam, of our remaining pairs, you obviously ended up with | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
the highest score overall, but you also scored, Adam, the lowest score, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
the lowest individual score of any of our answers so very well done. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
Very best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Our category for Round Two is: | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
who's going to go second. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
OK, and the question concerns: | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
On each pass we'll show you the names of six fictional | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
companies, we need you to tell us | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
the TV series in which they first appeared, please. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
There will be 12 TV series to guess at home, very best of luck. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
OK, thank you very much indeed, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
so let's reveal our six fictional companies, and here they come. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
I will read those all one last time. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
There we are. Remember we're looking for the title of the TV | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
show in which these companies first appeared. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Yeah, I know a few of them. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
There's one, I know what it relates to, I'm just not sure which version | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
of the show it was in, if that makes sense. It will when I say it. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
Peartree Productions, I think was I Am Alan Partridge. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
I'm Alan Partridge, you're saying. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
OK, let's see if that's right, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Very well done indeed, Emma. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Good answer. I'm Alan Partridge. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
3, that scores. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
Great start, Emma, great start to the second round. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
One of the best TV series of all time, I'd say, I'm Alan Partridge. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
Yeah. Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Now, Dewi, what about this board? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Is this a better round for you? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Much better than boxing, it is a relief. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
I know three for definite. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
I'd say the hard bit is thinking what the British public would know. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
I am going to go with Sterling Cooper, | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
which I think is the advertising company in Mad Men. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
Mad Men, says Dewi, for Sterling Cooper. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said Mad Men. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
It's right. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
7! Another good answer, another low score, Dewi. Well done. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
Yeah, exactly right. Won Golden Globe for the best | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
television series three years in a row, Mad Men. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
There we are. Now, Sandra. You're the last person to have this board. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
Yes. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-How are you finding it, by the way? -I know one. -Good. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
Ewing Oil is Dallas. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Wernham Hogg, I would take a wild guess and say IT Crowd, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
but I'm not going to go for that. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
And I'm sorry, I don't know the other two. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-Which one are you going to go for then? -Ewing Oil, Dallas. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Ewing Oil, Dallas, says Sandra. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Dallas. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
It's right. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
-84. -Very safe! | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Kind of safe, yes. 84 for Dallas. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
That's a big scorer, but if it's the one you know, it's the one you know. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
If you'd said IT Crowd for Wernham Hogg, you'd have got 100. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
That's Reynholm Industries in IT Crowd. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Wernham Hogg is The Office, would have scored you 14. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Globelink News, do you remember that one? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-Is that Drop The Dead Donkey? -Yes, would have scored you 9 points. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
And down the bottom from the '70s, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Hammond Transport Services was in The Brothers. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
Well done if you said that. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
7 points. There are some low scorers there. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-The best answer on the board, I'm Alan Partridge. -Thanks. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Well done, Emma and Adam. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
Lovely low scoring from you, Emma, very well done indeed. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Then up to 7, where we find Dewi and Tom. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
Then, I'm afraid, it's quite a journey up to 84, where we find you, | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Sandra and Erika. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:43 | |
So, Erika, you get first use of the new board | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
so make sure you find something nice and low scoring on that | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
and maybe that will be enough to see you through, you never know. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
We're going to come back down the line now. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
OK, let's put six more fictional companies up on the board, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
and here they come. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
I will read those one last time. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:14 | |
Remember, we're looking for the title of the TV show in which these | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
companies first appeared. Erika, you're going to try | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-How is that board? -It's not great. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
It really isn't great at all. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
I'm going to take a risk, which we didn't do last time, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
and I'm going to go for the fourth one, the Spacely Space Sprockets | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-and guess that it's Futurama. -Futurama, says Erika. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Futurama for Spacely Space Sprockets. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Futurama. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
No red line for you as you're the high scorers. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry, Erika, an incorrect answer | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
scores you the maximum of 100 points, gives you a total of 184. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
That's unlucky, Erika, but well done for taking a risk. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
That's exactly the right thing to do. They've got a courier company | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-on Futurama, rather than a sprocket company. -Thanks very much. Now, Tom. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
-Good news, you're through. -That is good news. That is good news. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
-How do you find the board? -This is not a great board, I'll be honest. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
I would have preferred the first pass. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
I only know the one on this board, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
that will be the third one down, Trotters Independent Trading. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
-I'm going to have to say Only Fools And Horses. -Only Fools And Horses. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Only Fools And Horses. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
No red line, you're already through. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
75. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
Takes your total up to 82. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
Yeah, perfectly good answer, that sees you safely through. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
The car, the three-wheeler, is in a museum in Keswick. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Adam. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Again, last person to have this board. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
It is a tricky board, this one, I think. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
It is a really tricky board so I'm pleased I don't have to score | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-anything to get through. -No, you don't, you don't. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
You're through whatever you score. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
But do you fancy having a shot at any of them? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
The only one that I knew was Only Fools And Horses. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Slate Rock And Gravel Company, maybe Fraggle Rock. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Fenner Fashions, Ugly Betty maybe, because that's a fashion company. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Don't know the others at all so I will take a stab at Ugly Betty, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Fenner Fashions. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
OK, Ugly Betty, Fenner Fashions, let's see if that's right, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
let's see how many people said it. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
No red line as you're already through. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
An incorrect answer scores you 100 points, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
takes your total up to 103 but you're already through | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
so it's all fine. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
Yeah, absolutely. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:39 | |
You had to go for something | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
but Fenner Fashions actually is a '70s show, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
it's The Rag Trade, which I know some people at home will have got. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Would have scored 13. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
The Slate Rock And Gravel Company, it's not the Fraggles, | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
-do you know that one? You'll know this one. -It is the Flintstones? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
-It is. -Hurray, good! -That would have scored 18. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
Now, Spacely Space Sprockets, not Futurama. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
Not 1 million miles away actually, it's a futuristic animation. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
It's The Jetsons. Would have scored 3. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
Jupiter Mining Corporation, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
my son will be screaming at the telly at this moment, it is Red Dwarf. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
Would have scored 9, and Baldwin's Casuals, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
everybody knows, I think. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
It's Coronation Street and would've scored 50 points, big scorer. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
So the best answer on that board is The Jetsons, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
-well done if you said that. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid to say it is | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Erika and Sandra, head-to-headers you were last time. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
This time I'm afraid it's Round Two. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
It's been brilliant having you on the show. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
I'm sorry, that was a really... They were quite tough, those. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Did it help? Did you know any once you were nudged? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
-When the answer went up on the board? -No! -No. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
Well, that's OK, I mean maybe that's a relief. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Anyway, it's been lovely having you on both shows. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Thank you for playing, Erika and Sandra. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Congratulations, Dewi and Tom, Emma and Adam, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
you're now one step closer to the final | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
which currently stands at £2,000. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Well, now we have to decide who's going to play for that money, go | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
through to the final, and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
The difference is that now you're allowed to confer | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
before you give your answers and the first pair to win two | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
questions will be playing for the jackpot. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Well done, Dewi and Tom, lovely low scoring, | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
nice consistent low scoring across the rounds. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
But Emma and Adam, in the first round, Adam, you gave the lowest | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
scoring answer, and in the second round, Emma, you gave the lowest | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
scoring answer so now you can confer, | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
maybe you'll be the low scorers. Who knows? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Either way, I think this is going to be very close, very exciting. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
OK, here comes your first question. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
And it concerns: | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
We're going to show you five pictures now of famous people called Martin. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
You just have to give the most obscure answer. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
We're going to need first name and surname. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:02 | 0:26:03 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
OK, let's reveal our five famous Martins, and here they come. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
There we are, five famous Martins. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Dewi and Tom, you've played best throughout the show so far | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
so you'll go first. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
Well, I know two. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
-Yes, he's going to be better than D. -Oh, yeah. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
We only know two of them, C and D. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
We've got a feeling D will be the higher | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
so we're going to say C is Martin Scorsese. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
Martin Scorsese, say Dewi and Tom. Martin Scorsese. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
Now then, Emma and Adam, do you fancy talking us | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
-through the rest of the board? -If only we could. Erm... | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
Don't know A or E at all. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
We knew C, and I think B might be a Northern Irish politician | 0:27:08 | 0:27:14 | |
of some kind. I've got it in my head but I can't access that information | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
so I'm going to go...we're going to go for D... | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
is Martin Luther King Jr. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
Martin Luther King. So we have Martin Scorsese, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
we have Martin Luther King. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Dewi and Tom, you think the one you went for, Martin Scorsese, | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
will be the lowest scorer. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
Let's find out. Is it Martin Scorsese? | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
It's right. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
25. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
25. Now, Emma and Adam, you've said Martin Luther King for D. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:54 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
Was Martin Scorsese the right one for Dewi and Tom to have gone for? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
It's right. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
There's your answer. Yes, it was. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
Dewi and Tom, very well done indeed. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
After one question, you're up 1-0. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Yes, a pleasingly high score for Martin Luther King that, isn't it? | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Not pleasing for Emma and Adam, but you know what I mean. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
You were right that B is a Northern Irish politician, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
currently Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
Would have scored you 35 points. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
That's what you're going to look like when you're old. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
Yeah, I've looked quite like him for a lot of my life. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
A is... Do you know A? | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
-Martin Amis. -Martin Amis, yep, the novelist. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
He'd have scored you 10 points. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
And E is the French DJ, Martin Solveig. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
Very well done if you said that, would have scored you 2 points. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
-Best answer on the board. -Thanks very much indeed. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
OK, so here comes your second question. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
Emma and Adam, you have to win this one but you get to answer it first. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
It concerns... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:54 | |
Just going to show you the names of five singles | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
that were hits around the Christmas period and the years | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
in which they were hits but we've left out alternate letters | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
-from each one. Can you fill them in? -OK, thanks very much. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
Let's reveal our five Christmas hits and here they are. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
I will read those all one last time. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
So there we are. Five Christmas hits. Anna and Adam, your go first. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:56 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
Number four, what's number four? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
Erm, OK, so we think we know all of them. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
The one we're going to go for is number four, | 0:30:09 | 0:30:13 | |
Christmas In Smurfland? | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
Christmas In Smurfland, say Emma and Adam. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
Wow, Dewi and Thomas, beat that! | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
Do you fancy talking us through the others? | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
We know all of them except Christmas In Smurfland. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
So from the top, it's Mr Blobby, then Merry Christmas Everyone, | 0:30:27 | 0:30:33 | |
Mistletoe And Wine, then Killing In The Name at the bottom. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:37 | |
It's going to have to be Rage Against The Machine, isn't it? | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
I think so. I think so. We'll go Killing In The Name. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
Killing In The Name, you're going to say. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:44 | |
Emma and Adam said Christmas In Smurfland, | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
let's see if that's right and, if it is, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
let's see how many people said it. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
Three! | 0:31:00 | 0:31:01 | |
No arguing with that. Well spotted, Emma and Adam. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
Dewi and Tom have gone for Killing In The Name. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
Let's see if that's right. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:08 | |
Let's see how many people said Killing In The Name. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
18. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
Not a bad answer, but there was no beating Christmas In Smurfland. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Well done, Emma and Adam. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
After two questions, it's even again, 1-1. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
The best two answers up there, a good head-to-head, this. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
Funnily enough Rage Against The Machine followed up | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
Killing In The Name with a cover version of Christmas In Smurfland! | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
Let's take a look at the scores. You're right about all of them. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
Mr Blobby, that would have scored you 35. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:45 | |
Merry Christmas Everyone, by Shakin' Stevens, | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
that would have scored you 57, | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
and Mistletoe And Wine, by Cliff, of course, | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
would have scored you 83 points. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
Thanks very much. Here comes your third question. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
Whoever wins this one goes through to the final | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
and plays for that jackpot. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns: | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
Horrible Histories Figures. Richard. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
We're going to show you five clues to historical figures | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
and the date they died. They've all been characterised playing songs | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
in the Horrible Histories series. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
-Can you name the most obscure of these five? -OK, thanks very much. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
Let's reveal our five Horrible Histories figures. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
I'll read those one last time. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
There we are. Five famous figures from Horrible Histories. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
Dewi and Tom, you will go first. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
-Confer with Tom, do you think first or third? -First one. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right - Boadicea. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
Boadicea, Boudica, you can say it how you like. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
Well, we'll hear how Richard thinks we should say it. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
But Boadicea, yeah. Emma and Adam. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
Phew...um...OK, so we think we know the bottom three. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:48 | |
The Scottish nationalist is William Wallace. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
The English naturalist is Charles Darwin. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
And the Egyptian queen is Cleopatra. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
The Jamaican nurse, we were talking about Florence Nightingale. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
But I have no reason to think she would be Jamaican. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
So let's go for William Wallace. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
OK, you're going to say William Wallace. We have Boudica | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
and William Wallace. Dewi and Tom said Boudica. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
57. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Emma and Adam have gone for William Wallace. Let's see | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
if that's right, let's see how many people said William Wallace. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
Very well done, you're through. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
27 for William Wallace. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:44 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
Which means, Emma and Adam, you're through to the final, 2-1. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
Yeah, really good head-to-head, well played, both teams. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
We were taught Boadicea, they're taught Boudica these days. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
The biggest scorer on the board - the Egyptian queen - Cleopatra. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
The English naturalist was Charles Darwin. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
I think everyone knew that. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
Would have scored you 72. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
The Jamaican nurse, always talked about in schools these days, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
is amazing figure, it's Mary Seacole. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
She would have scored you 9 points, so very well done if you said that. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
Thanks, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the head-to-head | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
is Dewi and Tom. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
Very strong performance but I suspected when Emma and Adam | 0:35:26 | 0:35:30 | |
got to put their heads together they were going to be unstoppable. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
And so it has proved. But a very strong head-to-head. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
We'll look forward to seeing you again next time. Dewi and Tom, | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
thanks very much for playing meantime. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
But for Emma and Adam it's now time for our Pointless final. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
Congratulations, Emma and Adam, you fought off all the competition | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
which stands at...£2,000. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
I remember at the start of today's show you were on the first podium | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
and I said it's always tough on the first podium. And you said, | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
"You're making me nervous now." | 0:36:19 | 0:36:20 | |
And you dispatched all your opponents, | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
starting on podium four with Dave and David. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
Then we had Sandra and Erica... | 0:36:25 | 0:36:26 | |
And then we had Tom and Dewi but you've seen them off | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
in a very systematic way. Very neat, I have to say. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
-What would you like to see come up in this last round? -Maybe movies. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:36 | |
-OK. -Maybe music. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
OK, well, best of luck. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
You get to choose your category from four options. And here they are. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
-Have to be.... -Bestselling Albums? -Yeah, has to be. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
Bestselling Albums it is, OK. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
OK, we're going to ask you questions about three of the top 20 | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
bestselling albums of all time in the UK. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
We are looking for any track from the original release of Brothers In Arms | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
by Dire Straits. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:09 | |
We're looking for any track from the original release of Urban Hymns | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
by The Verve. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:13 | |
Or we're looking for any tracks on the original release of | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
The Immaculate Collection by Madonna. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
So any of the tracks on the initial releases | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
of any of those three albums. Very, very best of luck. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
Thanks very much indeed. You've got up to one minute to come up | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
with three answers to win that jackpot. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
All you have to do is find just one pointless answer. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
Remember, the answers can come from any of these categories. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
And how you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
Could be one from each, two from one, or all three from one, | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
if you like. Are you ready? | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
-Yep. -Yeah. -OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:49 | |
-Urban Hymns? -I don't know it at all. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
-That's The verve. -I know, but... | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
-Sorry? -Bittersweet Symphony. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
-Yeah, but that's really obvious and Drugs Don't Work. -Yeah. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
Do you know any Brothers In Arms? | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
Again, it's kind of somewhere in my mind... | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
-I'm thinking Immaculate Collection. -OK, Lucky Star? | 0:38:04 | 0:38:06 | |
Yeah, Lucky Star's a good one. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
-Um... -Trying to think of not obvious ones. -Yeah, they're quite obvious. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
-Ray Of Light? -No, that's later. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
-When was the Immaculate Collection then? -'80s? -OK, so Material Girl. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:21 | |
Too obvious? | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
Erm...Holiday? | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
-Yes, definitely on there. -Uh... | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
-Struggling to think. -Yeah, I'm just thinking, like, Vogue and... | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
What was that one, um... | 0:38:34 | 0:38:35 | |
I can't think of it. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:38 | |
Ten seconds left. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
OK, so shall we go for Lucky Star, Holiday and Material Girl? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
-Not Material Girl. -OK. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
-Go for Vogue? -Really? OK. -OK, that's your time up. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
I now need your three answers. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
OK, we're going to go all for Immaculate Collection. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
-OK. -We're going to say Lucky Star. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
-Vogue. And... -Holiday. -Holiday. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
Of those three, which would you say was most likely to be pointless? | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
-Probably Lucky Star. -Lucky Star. -Lucky Star we'll put last. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
-Which is your least likely? -Holiday, I think. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
-Vogue. -Can't remember what we said now! -So Vogue. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:17 | |
Let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are... | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
Very, very best of luck. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
Your first answer was Vogue. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
This is the one you decided was least likely to be pointless. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
Remember, only one of them has to be pointless to win that jackpot. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
If you were to win in, what would you do with your split, Emma? | 0:39:33 | 0:39:38 | |
Well, I've just bought a house. I've exchanged contracts today. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
So I would probably use it to buy some furniture. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
-Always useful. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Adam, how about you? | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
Nothing as productive as that, I'd probably go on holiday, | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
maybe to Vegas or New York. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:53 | |
OK, well, very best of luck. Vogue, your least confident answer. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:58 | |
Has to be correct, then it has to be pointless for you to win. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
So for £2,000, let's see how many of 100 people said Vogue. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
It's right. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:08 | |
14. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
14 for Vogue. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:23 | |
So, not a pointless answer. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
You only have two more shots at today's jackpot. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
Your next answer was Holiday. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
Again, this from the Immaculate Collection album. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
It has to be correct then it has to be pointless for you to win, | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
so let's find out how many people said Holiday. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
Your first answer, Vogue, took us down to 14. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:48 | |
Your second answer, Holiday, | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
is now taking us down through the teens... | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
15. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:54 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
OK, so again not pointless. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:58 | |
Only one more chance to win today's jackpot. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Lucky Star. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
This, you thought, was probably your best shot at a pointless answer. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
Let's find out. Has to pointless to win that jackpot. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
For £2,000, how many people said Lucky Star? | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
Well, that's three correct answers. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
Your first answer, Vogue, took us down to 14. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
Your second answer, Holiday, took us down to 15. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
Well, you've passed both of those with Lucky Star... | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
3! | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:30 | 0:41:35 | |
You definitely put the right one last. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer, | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
That rolls over onto the next show. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
But we've really enjoyed having you on the show. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
You've done fantastically well throughout the show, | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
and you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:51 | 0:41:56 | |
Very well played. Good to have three correct answers | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
and there's definitely some pointless answers on that Madonna album | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
that you'll know. The Dire Straits ones first, | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
this is the one that our 100 people did the best on. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
So Far Away is the opening track on Brothers In Arms. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Your Latest Trick was released as a single. Both of those pointless. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
For The Verve... | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
You also could have had Catching The Butterfly, Neon Wilderness, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
and Weeping Willow. Very well done if you said any of those. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
And Madonna... | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
Rescue Me also a pointless answer. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
Very well done if you got any of those at home. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
If you'd had a couple of minutes you would have got one of those, | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
wouldn't you? Material Girl would have scored you 2 points. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-Would actually have been your best answer. -Thanks, Richard. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
Well, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
on the show. Thank you both so much for playing and playing so well. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
Sadly, Emma and Adam didn't win our jackpot, which means it rolls over | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
onto the next show when we will be playing for... | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win in. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... -Goodbye. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 |
