0:00:13 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show where all the questions have been put to 100 people
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and all our contestants have to do
0:00:28 > 0:00:30is come up with the answers that no-one else can think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- And couple number one. - Hello, my name is Lou.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- This is Jon, he's my husband and we're from Wigan.- Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Dan. This is Marc and we're friends from Newcastle.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Joe, this is my friend Steve and we're from Worcester.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And finally couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Sarah from Cleveleys and this is my sister from Bolton.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks to all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout the show,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08The fact that he never forgets anything means that
0:01:08 > 0:01:11around the office we've started calling him the Elephant Man.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- LAUGHTER - I think that's why we call him that.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Hiya, how are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I'm really looking forward to today's show, I think
0:01:23 > 0:01:24it's going to be a cracker.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Er, we have two returning pairs, Steve and Joe, who did very well
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- last time, got knocked out in the head-to-head, didn't they?- Yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And Linda and Sarah, who are also very, very good.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Came across a tough category with Football Managers,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39got knocked out, but I suspect they'll do very well as well.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42You know quite often I say to you that someone in our midst has
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- a certain skill or certain job or something.- Yeah.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48There are two people on today's show, and you need to spot them
0:01:48 > 0:01:53as you go up and down, two people on our show today are priests.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER
0:01:55 > 0:01:58OK, I'm going to use my... usual powers of deduction.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00That's the thing to do, just use a little...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- I'm going to ask a couple of questions, couple of leading questions.- Exactly.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You're not allowed to ask, "Are you a priest?" But any other question
0:02:06 > 0:02:09you're allowed to ask and then you're allowed to have a little guess.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- I'm on it. - And we keep giving away the jackpot.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Three days in a row we've given away the jackpot.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- I know, our Christmas party's going to be rubbish. - LAUGHTER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh, it'll be fun, I'll do my Elephant Man trick, we'll be fine.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Oh, not again. Whoa. - LAUGHTER
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Thanks very much, Richard. Every question on Pointless has been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Our contestants are looking for a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yes, Maitland and Andrew won the jackpot again last time,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45APPLAUSE
0:02:46 > 0:02:48OK, the pair with the highest score
0:02:48 > 0:02:50at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:50 > 0:02:54and remember there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56OK, our first category today is...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03World Geography. Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many capital cities
0:03:15 > 0:03:19north of Paris as they could. Capital cities north of Paris.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any capital city which is north of Paris.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Has to be the capital city of a country that is a sovereign state
0:03:27 > 0:03:30and a member of the UN, of course. Very, very best of luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Now then, Lou and Jon, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:34 > 0:03:36and today you're going to go first.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Lou, welcome to the show, great to have you here. What do you do?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'm a newborn hearing screener.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- A newborn hearing screener?- Yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45SHE LAUGHS
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- It says what it...does on the tin. - Oh, no, I see what you mean!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50No, that makes sense! I see, yes!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Sorry, I thought you were sort of born-again. I was thinking...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I thought I'd found my first priest.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57LAUGHTER
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- No, that's these gentlemen here! - No, don't give it away! - Don't give it away!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05A newborn hearing screener, no, I understand. So how do you do that?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Oh, it's very technical. - Well, it must be, because obviously you can't ask them if they heard it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- No, they can't sort of wave or make little noises, no.- No.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Basically we have a little piece of machinery
0:04:14 > 0:04:17and we play some sounds into the baby's ear and we just see
0:04:17 > 0:04:19if the little bits inside their ears are responding to sound.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Ahh, little bits.- Yeah, little bits.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Ossicles.- And what do you do when you're not doing that, Lou?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Erm, well, we have a seven-year-old little boy, Zachary.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- So that takes up a lot of our time. - He'll be watching right now.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- He'll be watching right now, there's a lot on it.- Hi, Zachary.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But when I'm at home I just like cake.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Oh, what a great answer. Yes, cake. - Cake, really.- Perfect.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Any favourite kind of cake? - All cake is good.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46All cake is good cake, never a truer word said. Now then, Lou.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Yes.- We're looking for any capital city that's north of Paris.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I'm going to go with...Copenhagen?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Copenhagen, says Lou. Let's see if that's right,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00let's see how many of our 100 people said Copenhagen.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:0939.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11APPLAUSE
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I think that's sort of fine, do we think, Copenhagen?- Middle-ish.- Yeah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Good start, Lou, especially on that first podium, it is tough. That's a good answer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yeah, it's been the capital of Denmark since 1445.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Now, Dan, welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- What do you do, Dan? - LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, believe it or not, I'm a Catholic priest.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I think I've found our first one, Richard.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38But don't forget I said you're not allowed to say, "What do you do?"
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- HE SIGHS - You make it so hard.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I know, you should have said something like,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"Do you work in an office or... a church?"
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Asked that question.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Do you work in a... Do you... Are you a priest?!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54No, sorry, I can't do it, I can't do it!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Er, Dan. How long have you been a priest?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I've been a priest now about five months, actually.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Oh, so a brand-new priest. How's it going?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04It's going really well actually, really enjoying it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05And where's your parish?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- It's in County Durham in the Northeast.- Excellent.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Now then, Dan, what are you going to give me
0:06:11 > 0:06:12for a capital city north of Paris?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yeah, it's a tricky one.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- I think I'm going to go with Oslo. - Oslo, says Dan.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Let's see if Oslo's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Is right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- 44 for Oslo. - APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yeah, capital of Norway of course.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39It's so far north, it was the site of the Winter Olympics in 1952.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Thanks, Rich. Now, Joe, welcome back.- Hello.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- So, Joe, last time...ooh, head-to-head.- So close.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Not just head-to-head, you were our golden couple in the head-to-head.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Our lowest-scoring pair. What happened?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It was, er, the Georges, the presidents of America that let us down.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- That's right.- Yeah.- That's right. Now, remind us what you do, Joe.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Er, I work in marketing for a sports management company.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Very good. We only had one sports round as well, didn't we?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yeah, it was football, wasn't it? - Yeah, Football Managers.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Strong round for us.- Very good.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11OK, now, Joe, what are you going to go for here? Capital cities north of Paris.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Er, I've got three to choose one and just trying to pick out
0:07:14 > 0:07:17the answer that's going to get us the lowest score.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I'm going to go with Brussels. - Brussels, says Joe.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22OK, let's see if that's right,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- APPLAUSE - 25, very well done, lowest score so far, Joe.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yes, actually it's the closest world capital to Paris as well.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It's 266 kilometres away.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Er, now then, Linda, welcome back to the show.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now, what happened with you last time?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Er, we went out in the second round. Football Managers.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55You did very well on Football Managers. I mean, you knew your stuff on Football Managers.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Erm, but, yes, we just had an incorrect answer there,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- that's right.- Me. - We had Rafa Benitez, didn't we?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- That was the problem there.- I wasn't going to say.- No, it's fair enough.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- It's...- At least it was Spanish. - Exactly, it was, exactly. Well said.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14We had Sarah and Linda on the show last time. They're sisters.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18LITTLE bit of rivalry between them, I detect, but anyway, I don't know.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Linda, what are you going to go for? A capital north of Paris.- Stockholm.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Stockholm. Stockholm, says Linda. Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Well, 44 is our high score, 25 our low.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You've passed 44. 37 you are.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE
0:08:38 > 0:08:3937 for Stockholm.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Yeah, we're having a lovely tour of Scandinavia, aren't we, in Round One?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's so far north, in January it has six hours of sunlight.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Stockholm.- Wow. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:08:52 > 0:08:5525 the best score of that pass, Joe, very well done to you.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Then we travel up to 37, where we find Linda and Sarah,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00up to 39, Lou and Jon.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Not that far up to 44, where we find Dan and Marc,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04but, Marc, you are the high scorers.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So we need a nice low score from you in the next pass.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- How are you on this? Is your geography good, Marc?- Not good.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Not a good category, really. - OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21OK, now then. Sarah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Sarah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Was Linda a good sister all your life?- Of course.- Did she...
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- When you were little, did you squabble at all?- No.- No.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33No, cos there's quite a gap between us,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38so...I was just a nuisance, really. But she always looked after me.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42She looked after you, that's good. And whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ooh... You see, can't even agree on that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- No, I'm sure it was a joint decision.- A joint decision. No, that sounds like a very good...
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm getting all the blame, especially after having the 100, so...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well, I have high hopes for you today. I think you're going to do...
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Every time I say that people leave at the end of that round,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01but nonetheless I do have very high hopes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06I also happen to think you're going to have a knockout capital north of Paris.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Reykjavik.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10'Ey, there you go! There you go.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You're on 37, the high scorers at the moment are Marc
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and Dan on 44, which means six or less would mean you avoid
0:10:16 > 0:10:19becoming the new high scorers, and that's what six or less looks like,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21there's your red line.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Let's see how far down you get with Reykjavik.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's good. Now, 25 is our lowest score so far.
0:10:30 > 0:10:3229. Second-lowest.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34APPLAUSE
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- That takes your total up to 66.- Very good answer, yeah, very well played.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's the most northerly capital city in the world, Reykjavik.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Ooh, that is north.- That is north.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47That gets FOUR hours of sunlight a day in the winter.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48That's not enough.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Er, thanks very much indeed. Now then, Steve.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Steve, welcome back.- Thank you. - Now, remind us what you do, Steve.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I'm a town centre manager for a town called Pershore,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01based in Wychavon in Worcestershire.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Very good. Er, Pershore, sounds beautiful.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It is very nice Georgian market town,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- nice River Avon running through it as well and a nice abbey, so... - It sounds fantastic.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14And what, of all the things you've done, since the management
0:11:14 > 0:11:17has been under your care, what is the thing you are most proud of?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Most proud has got to be being involved in the organisation
0:11:20 > 0:11:22of the Pershore Plum Festival.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The Pershore Plum Festival, I can tell you now, was a triumph.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Well, funny you say that, actually, because recently it just won the best event in the region
0:11:29 > 0:11:31of Worcestershire for the third year in a row, so we're pretty proud.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The Plum Festival. Please tell me it does involve actual plums.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- It does indeed, yeah.- Good. - One of the variants, the Pershore Purple,
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- hence the celebration of the local distinctiveness.- That is brilliant.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44What did you do for the Pershore Plum Festival?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Oh, it'd take you far too long to answer that!
0:11:47 > 0:11:51It's a month long celebration so, yeah, using a lot of local
0:11:51 > 0:11:54businesses and community groups to celebrate the plum.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Do all the shopkeepers have their plums out?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The ones that have good enough plums, yeah, they put them on show.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Yeah. - Pop your plums out for the festival.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It's all in the right spirit, isn't it? That's good.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06So, Steve, look, there you are, on 25.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09The highest scorers at the moment are Sarah and Linda on 66.
0:12:09 > 0:12:1340 or less sees you into the next round.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Yeah, trying to think of somewhere, obviously, cold,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I would have thought, the more north we go,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- so I'm going to go for Moscow. - Moscow, says Steve. Moscow.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29If you get below that with Moscow, you're in the next round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:4242, that scores you. Well, Sarah and Linda are definitely in Round Two.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think you probably are. That takes you up to 67.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50Another good answer in a very good round so far from everybody, just picking and choosing these capitals.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Yeah, over 10 million people now live in Moscow.- Wow.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Thank you very much, Richard. Now then. Marc.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Hi.- Marc, do you work in an office?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I don't. I'm a strippagram. - LAUGHTER
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Oh, I was sure he was the other vicar.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Er, Marc. So, how did you and Dan meet?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Er, we studied together in seminary.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- We trained to be priests at the same time.- How long was your...training?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Seven years.- Seven years.- Yeah, long time.- Wow, that is a long time.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- That's like becoming a doctor. - Doctor of the soul.- A doctor of...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28There we are, doctor of the soul. Now, OK, Marc, you're on 44.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32The high scorers on 67 at the moment are Steve and Joe.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37What are you going to go for, capital city north of Paris?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm going to take a punt. I'm not sure if it's a capital city or not
0:13:40 > 0:13:42but I'm going to say Luxembourg.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Luxembourg. OK, Marc has said Luxembourg. Here's your red line.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You have to get below that with your answer, Luxembourg.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Let's see if you can. Luxembourg, is it right?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It is right.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And you go through, look at that!
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Three!
0:14:04 > 0:14:10- APPLAUSE - That is the best score of the round by a margin, Marc. Very well done.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- 47 is your total.- Brilliant answer, Marc, that's a terrific answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- But, for an extra point, can you tell me what it's the capital of? - Luxembourg.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19It is, well done. LAUGHTER
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's actually the closest in latitude to Paris of anything on this list.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Oh, he's cutting it fine! - Yeah, really fine.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Hence the low score.- That's why he got so few points, yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Very well done. Now, Jon.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Jon, welcome to the show.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Oh, it's a little bit tense at this stage!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Not a bad answer from Lou in the first pass there, but you're on 39.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43The high scorers on 67 are Steve and Joe,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45so you have to score 27 or less. Now, Jon, what do you do?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I'm a computer systems analyst, Xander.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What do you do in your spare time, Jon?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Er, I do a lot of sports, or I try to at least.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56There's bits of me falling off now, I'm afraid, as I get older, so I do a lot of swimming now.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I used to play a lot of football and do some martial arts at one time.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Now then, Jon, there you are, 39. What are you going to go for?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05OK, I've got a really risky one but I'm not sure
0:15:05 > 0:15:08if they're a member of the UN, so I think I'll stick to one of
0:15:08 > 0:15:12my original answers, which probably aren't members of the UN either...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Well, hang on! - LAUGHTER
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- If all...- It's less risky, it's less risky.- OK.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20And I'll go for Tokyo.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Tokyo.- Yeah, Tokyo.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26There's your red line. Get below that...
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Lou, what do you think? Tokyo? - Erm...- Is that good cake, bad cake?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- It's middling cake.- Middling... Ooh, my favourite kind.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Tokyo.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, bad luck, Jon!
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means you score
0:15:47 > 0:15:51the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to an unbeatable 139.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Yeah, sorry, Jon. As far north as Reykjavik is above Paris, Tokyo is about that far south of Paris.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Is it really? - Yeah, a long way south, I'm afraid.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's interesting actually, cos I think pretty mu...
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think every single answer on this list is European.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I think even somewhere like Ottawa in Canada is not further north than Paris.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And I bet a lot of people said that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Erm, but let's take a look at all the answers. No pointless answers at all,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18so I have to say Luxembourg was a very, very good answer,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21cos the best answer on the board would have only got you two points.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Let's take a look.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Kiev in Ukraine and Astana in Kazakhstan,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27both of those would have been two points.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31There's Luxembourg with three, you would have got three for Minsk
0:16:31 > 0:16:34in Belarus, you would have got four for Prague in the Czech Republic.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38If you go up into the Baltic you'd have got six for Vilnius, Lithuania,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40you'd have got ten for the Latvian capital, Riga,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and 11 for Tallinn, which is Estonia.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Let's take a look at the top three, we've heard a couple of them already.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Moscow, 42, we know.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- We also know Oslo, 44, and what do you think's top?- Oh, London.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55And London right at the top there with 68 points.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Thanks very much. So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:16:59 > 0:17:02with a high score of 139, I'm sorry, it's you, Jon and Lou.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I'm sorry, but, you know, you were thinking outside the...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08outside the box, I'm going to say, I think, there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Erm, but I'm afraid, yes, too far outside, and...south of it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But it's been great having you on the show, we look forward to
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- seeing you again next time. Jon and Lou. Excellent.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:19 > 0:17:22But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So, three pairs remain, obviously at the end of this round we'll
0:17:29 > 0:17:33have to say goodbye to another pair. Marc and Dan, you did good.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Out of the bag.- You did good there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Very well done indeed, Luxembourg,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40very close between the other two pairs, just one point between you,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42so, yes, I think this is going to be very exciting and very close.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Pop Music.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Foreign Song Titles, Richard.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07On each pass we're going to show you the names of six UK
0:18:07 > 0:18:10top 40 singles, each of which have a foreign word in the title.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We need you to tell us the name of the act who had a hit with that song, please.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- There's going to be six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at at home.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21OK, so we're looking for the artist or band that performed these songs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25OK, here's our first board of six.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'll read those one last time.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48There we are, six song titles with foreign words in them. Marc.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Er, not good, really. Erm...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57And the only one I know is pretty embarrassing, I think,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00but I have to go Viva Forever, the Spice Girls!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03OK, Viva Forever, the Spice Girls, says Marc.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said the Spice Girls.
0:19:13 > 0:19:1448.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16APPLAUSE
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Yeah, it was also the name of their musical in the West End that closed after five months.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Thanks very much. Now, Joe.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Oh, no, Joe. You looked really pleased with this round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Not so much any more.- Oh, right.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36This is a complete stab in the dark, I don't have a clue,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38really, on this one.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm going to go with...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Voulez-Vous as Christina Aguilera.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I know she was in Moulin Rouge so perhaps it's linked to that.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh, I see what you've done there, actually. Ah, yes, no, there's...
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- It's an educated guess.- No, there is a link between those words and her.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Let's find out if it's right in this instance, though. Voulez-Vous, Christina Aguilera.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Ohh, bad luck, bad luck, Joe, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Yeah, sorry, Joe.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah, she sings Lady Marmalade, doesn't she,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- does a version of that "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"- Thanks, Richard.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Now then, Linda, you're the last person to have this board.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21How do you find this board, Linda?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- I'm going to be honest, you don't look best pleased.- No.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Pop music is not me.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I think That's Amore is somebody from my age group
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but I can't remember the name of the person.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So I'll go Voulez-Vous, ABBA.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Voulez-Vous, ABBA, says Linda.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said ABBA.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41It is right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:4457.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46APPLAUSE
0:20:48 > 0:20:4957 for ABBA.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yeah, very good answer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55You're right that That's Amore is someone you'll know, I'm sure.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- It's Dean Martin.- Ah, yes.- Yep. - Do you know that?- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Would have scored you 25 points.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Encore Une Fois, remember Encore Une Fois?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It's a DJ, had a load of hits a few years ago. Sash.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Sash.- Yeah, Ecuador and various others. 13 points for them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Never have remembered that. Yeah. - Er, Dov'e L'Amore is Cher.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And the other one on the board... HE CHUCKLES
0:21:19 > 0:21:22..it's an Italian lady who had a hit in the '60s,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25it's a pointless answer and it was Gigliola Cinquetti.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- You remember that one.- Yeah(!) Oh, Non Ho L'Eta Per Amarti? Ohh! I'm going to be singing it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I'm going to be singing that all round now. Everybody at home's now got that going around their head.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36# Non ho l'eta per amarti... #
0:21:36 > 0:21:40THEY HUM IMPROVISED TUNES
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- I love that song.- Yeah.- Radiohead did a cover of it.- Yeah. Yeah!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Thank you, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02The best score of that pass, would you believe,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04was yours, Marc, 48, so well done.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07That puts you in a strong position, up to 57, where we find
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Linda and Sarah, and then up to 100, where we find Joe and Steve.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Now, who knows what's going to happen in the next part?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Steve, what we will need from you is a low-scoring answer,
0:22:17 > 0:22:18so best of luck with that.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26OK, we're going to put six more songs up on the board,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and here they come.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42I'll read them one more time.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Now, remember we're looking for the artist or band
0:22:56 > 0:22:58who performed these songs,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and, Sarah, you're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I feel another 100 coming. Erm...
0:23:05 > 0:23:06I'll go for...
0:23:08 > 0:23:12..Christina Aguilera for...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14She's getting a lot of these, isn't she?!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- ..Viva La Vida.- OK, Viva La Vida, you're saying Christina Aguilera.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25There's your red line. You have to get below that to get through to the next round.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Let's see if that's right.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Ohhhh...- What a surprise!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'm afraid another one of those songs she hasn't sung.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38That scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 157.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Yeah, sorry, Sarah, I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Thanks, Richard. Now then, Steve. This is a better board, I think.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- You're not so convinced?- Well...
0:23:49 > 0:23:52It's OK now that the answer I was going to give didn't go,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56so, other than the one I THINK I know, I haven't got a clue,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59so I'll go with Livin' La Vida Loca and Ricky Martin.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Ricky Martin, says Steve.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04OK, well, you want to score 56 or less to avoid overtaking
0:24:04 > 0:24:07the high score of Linda and Sarah. There's your red line,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09let's see if Ricky Martin can get you below that.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17He can, is the answer to that. Ooh, just, look at that. 51.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- 151, you are just through.- Yeah, big score for Livin' La Vida Loca.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Three weeks at number one.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Thanks very much, Richard. Now then.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Dan, good news. You're in the head-to-head.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You're in the head-to-head even if you score 100 points.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40You're also the last person to have this board, so if you fancied it
0:24:40 > 0:24:43you could talk us through it and fill in the blanks.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Yeah, I only knew two of them, and one of them's just gone,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49one of them was the Ricky Martin one.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55But I'm fairly sure I know Viva La Vida, and I think it's Coldplay.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Coldplay, you're saying, for Viva La Vida. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02No red line for you as you're already through, but let's see how many people said Coldplay.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- 25. - APPLAUSE
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Takes your total up to 73. - Nice end to the round.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Coldplay's first number one in the UK AND America, Viva La Vida.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Now, of the rest of these, how are you?- I could do two of those.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- La Isla Bonita?- Er...that's Madonna. - Is Madonna, yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- That would have scored...42. What's the other one you know?- Hoppipolla.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Hoppipolla.- Is Sigur Ros. - Sigur Ros, absolutely.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36It would have scored two points.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Now, if you think you don't know that song, go on the internet,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42have a little listen to it, I guarantee that you'll know it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It's played on every advert, every movie, every TV show.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Have a little listen to it, I promise you'll know it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Now, La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh), Manic Street Preachers.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Would have scored you three points. And Quiereme Mucho (Yours)
0:25:59 > 0:26:03is the best answer on the board, one point if you said Julio Iglesias.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10the pair leaving us, with the high score of 157, it's Sarah and Linda.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- I'm sorry. It was second round last time, I think, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm sorry you haven't made it beyond the second round.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19This is where we actually say goodbye. But it's been lovely having you on the show,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Sarah and Linda! - APPLAUSE
0:26:25 > 0:26:28But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Congratulations, Marc and Dan, Steve and Joe,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36you're now one step closer to the final and
0:26:36 > 0:26:40a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You're now allowed to confer before you give your answers
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07That was the best series on television in the last 10 years,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- I think. - LAUGHTER
0:27:09 > 0:27:13OK, we're about to show you five images of women who are married to famous politicians.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We need you to tell us the name of the politician they were married to, please.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22OK, let's reveal our five politicians' wives,
0:27:22 > 0:27:23and here they are.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44There we are.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yes, politicians' wives. So, Marc and Dan, you've played best
0:27:46 > 0:27:49throughout the show so far so you will be going first.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51THEY WHISPER
0:28:01 > 0:28:04OK, we're going to go for D.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06OK.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- And Nicolas Sarkozy. - Nicolas Sarkozy, say Marc and Dan.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Nicolas Sarkozy.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Now, Steve and Joe, who are you going to go for?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Erm...
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- I think we're going to go for E, David Cameron.- E, David Cameron.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30So we have Nicolas Sarkozy for D and we have David Cameron for E.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Marc and Dan said Nicolas Sarkozy, let's see if that's right
0:28:33 > 0:28:36and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:44 > 0:28:4614.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- APPLAUSE - Ooh, good, good, good.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Steve and Joe have said David Cameron for E.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59It's right.
0:29:01 > 0:29:0356.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04APPLAUSE
0:29:05 > 0:29:0956, which means, Marc and Dan, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Yeah, Cameron and Sarkozy both punching above their weight in my opinion. Don't you think?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17That's Carla Bruni of course, who is a model and singer,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19and Samantha Cameron.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Now, A, of course, is the brilliant Michelle Obama.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27She's married to Barack Obama. That would have scored you 69 points.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29And B, she's a very successful author,
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Frances Osborne, and she's married to George Osborne.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36She's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38C, I think people will know.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's Pauline Prescott,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44and at the age of 22 she married the 23-year-old John Prescott.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46And she would have scored you 18 points.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49So the best answer on that board, Frances Osborne.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Steve and Joe, you have to win this one to stay in the game, but you will get to answer it first.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Concerns tax, Richard.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Yeah, we are now going to show you five different types of tax,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07all collected by HM Revenue and Customs.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09By the way, big fan of their work.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Are you?- I am.- HMRC.- Yeah. - I love 'em. Do you like 'em, guys?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Oh, yeah.- Yeah, terrific, terrific people.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19We're going to give you those five types of tax but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Can you fill out the gaps, please? - Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Let's reveal our five types of tax, and here they are.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I'll read all those one last time.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Steve and Joe, you'll go first.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00THEY WHISPER
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Yeah, we think we know a few of them, so obviously the lowest
0:31:10 > 0:31:13one we're going to go for, insurance premium tax.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Insurance premium tax is the first one, that's what you're saying.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- OK, Marc and Dan.- Er...
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Do you want to take us through all the other taxes?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Well, income tax, value added tax,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27capital gains tax and, er...
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Do you know the bottom one?- No, we're not sure about the bottom one.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33But I think we'll go for capital gains tax.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36OK, capital gains tax, say Marc and Dan,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38so we have insurance premium tax and capital gains tax.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Steve and Joe, insurance premium tax, let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It's good.
0:31:50 > 0:31:5128.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52APPLAUSE
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Now, Marc and Dan have said capital gains tax.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Let's see how many people said capital gains tax, and is it right?
0:32:05 > 0:32:0769.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09APPLAUSE
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Well done, Steve and Joe, you're back in the game.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- After two questions it's 1-1. - Well played, guys.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Yeah, only one answer would have beaten insurance premium tax and it's the bottom one, as you can imagine.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's not income tax, that would have scored you...
0:32:21 > 0:32:2277.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25It's not value added tax,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28cos that would have scored you 53.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's the bottom one, and it's corporation tax,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33and would have scored you 19.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Whoever wins this question will go through to the final
0:32:39 > 0:32:40and play for that jackpot.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Yeah, simply five clues now to facts about the Battle of Waterloo,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48and the team that gives us
0:32:48 > 0:32:51the most obscure answer is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11I'll read those one last time.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24There we are, five clues to facts about the Battle of Waterloo.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Marc and Dan, you will go first.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30OK. I think it's 1812 but I'm not... I'm not sure.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33THEY WHISPER
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Is it Nelson who was the...
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Er, we're going to have to go for the emperor and say Napoleon.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42OK, you're going to say Napoleon. Marc and Dan go with Napoleon.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Steve and Joe, what are you going to go for?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47This isn't the best board for us, Alexander, to be honest.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Do you want to do some just thinking out loud, think of each one?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The year in which it occurred, I want to say maybe 1500s,
0:33:54 > 0:33:59but who knows? School no, commander of the British troops no.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Shall we just go with country?- Yeah.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Go for England for the modern-day country in which the village of Waterloo is located.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Complete guess.- OK.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Now then, Marc and Dan have said Napoleon was the French emperor who was defeated.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Napoleon.
0:34:22 > 0:34:2381.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Steve and Joe have said England,
0:34:29 > 0:34:34the modern-day country in which the village of Waterloo is to be found.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- No.- Probably France.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42No, bad luck, which means Marc and Dan, after three questions,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44you're through to the final 2-1. Well done.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Yep, not, er...not England.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49And not in the 1500s either, the Battle of Water...
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I'm sure they forced you to learn all this at school, didn't they?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Yeah, yeah.- In our day. I'm almost certain. Guys, any idea what date it was?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- I've got a good feeling... I think it's 1812.- 1815.
0:35:00 > 0:35:051815 was the answer. Four of our 100 thought it was 1066.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06LAUGHTER
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Would have scored you 23 points, that year.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Now, the commander of the British troops was...- Duke of Wellington.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15The Duke of Wellington. Would have scored you 36.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18It's said to have been won on the playing fields of this school.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Could have had a guess at this, I think. It's Eton.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Would have scored you 44.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- And the modern-day country, what would you guess for that?- Belgium.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31It is in Belgium, yeah. And that would have scored you 28 points.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34So the best answer on that board would have been 1815.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39So the pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head round, it's Steve and Joe.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Erm, you performed pretty solidly in both shows,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45and then you met your Waterloo. That is fair to say.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Listen, it's been great having you on both shows, thank you so much for playing. Steve and Joe.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Thanks, guys.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But for Marc and Dan it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Congratulations, Marc and Dan.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:12 > 0:36:16and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Well, you've done very, very well, some nice low scoring from you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22And I think we've tested you on all sorts of subjects.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25We kicked off of course with capital cities north of Paris,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28then we had songs with foreign words in them,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31politicians' wives, taxes, and we've had the Battle of Waterloo.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I mean, really, we have tested you.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:36:36 > 0:36:41I don't know, strong for me would probably be movies, er, more music.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Maybe football as well.- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- Could be embarrassing if religion comes up.- Yeah! And we get it wrong!
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Yeah. OK, well, very best of luck. Here are your four choices.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53You've got...
0:36:53 > 0:36:56American Playwrights, Artists In The Tate's Collection,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Scottish Sport, Olivers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Scottish Sport might be like Celtic and...
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I'm not going to be good at that, I wouldn't be...
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Shall we go for Olivers?- We'll have to go Olivers, I'm afraid.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10You're going to go for Olivers. Richard.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Three very different questions on this one, so not a bad choice.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18We're looking for anyone who was credited in the film Oliver.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22That's the 1968 film version of Oliver.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26The title of any Jamie Oliver book.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Or any Olly Murs top 40 singles.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34So according to IMDb anyone who's credited in the film of Oliver.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37The title of any Jamie Oliver book.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41And any top 40 single credited to Olly Murs or which has him as a featured, credited artist.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44So three very different questions there, I suspect people at home
0:37:44 > 0:37:46will be doing well on one or other of those categories.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Very best of luck in the studio. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56To win that jackpot, all you have to do is to find just one pointless answer among those.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59The answers you give can come from any of these categories
0:37:59 > 0:38:01and how you spread them across the categories is down to you.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04They can all come from the same one if you like or one from each,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07two from one, one from another, entirely down to you. Are you ready?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Your time starts now.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Right, I know a Jamie Oliver book is 15-Minute Meals, I know that one.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- All right, we'll go with that. - Do you know any other?- No. No idea.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Olly Murs?- Olly Murs songs, erm...
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- London Town? - I'm sure there's Army Of Two.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Speak up.- I can hear one. Er...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- You can talk at full voice, so we can hear what you're saying.- OK!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- OK, we'll go Army Of Two...- Army Of Two. He's got his new one, which...
0:38:36 > 0:38:40I think it's called Hand On My Heart.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41- OK.- Erm...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45And 15-Minute...Recipes. What did you say it was?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- 15-Minute Meals for Jamie Oliver's book.- OK.- Erm...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Was it Troublemaker? - Oh, yeah, Troublemaker.- Erm...
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- Are You Thinking Of Me. What that one? # Thinking of me... # - Thinking...
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Ten seconds left.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Let's get the answers in, so... 15-Minute Meals.- Erm...
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Let's go for, what, Troublemaker... - Troublemaker and...
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Army Of Two.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15OK, there we are, that's your time up,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17just as it sounded like you were deciding on your final three.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19So what are your three answers?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22We're going to go for one of Jamie Oliver's books,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- which we think is called 15-Minute Meals.- 15-Minute Meals.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30And then two of Olly Murs' songs, which are Army Of Two...
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- Army Of Two.- Hand On My Heart. - Hand On My Heart.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, now, of those three, which is
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- your most likely to be pointless, do you think?- The recipe book, I think.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42OK, 15-Minute Meals, we'll put that last.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Which is your least likely to be pointless? Hand On My Heart?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Hand On My Heart, yeah. - OK, we'll do them in that order.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48And here they are.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52We've got Hand On My Heart, Army Of Two and 15-Minute Meals.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Hand On My Heart.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57This is the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01But let's say one of them is pointless and you win that money,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03what would you do with your share of that £1,000, Marc?
0:40:03 > 0:40:07I might...might have a trip somewhere, might go to Luxembourg,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10buy a Spice Girls album, listen to it on the way.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Er, little holiday, I think. - Excellent.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Dan, how about you?- Er, I'd probably do the same, really.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I haven't had a holiday in a while so it will be nice to get away for a week.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Very nice indeed, good. Well, best of luck.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Hand On My Heart. Let's find out.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28In this instance we were looking for an Olly Murs UK top 40 single.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31If this is correct and it is pointless it will win you £1,000.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Is it pointless?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Ooh, bad luck.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Bad luck, I'm afraid, that's an incorrect answer,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42which means only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47Your next answer was Army Of Two, also an Olly Murs UK top 40 single.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Let's find out if that's correct.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51If it is, and if it is pointless, you will win the jackpot.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54So, for £1,000, how many people said Army Of Two?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58It's right.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Well, your first answer, Hand On My Heart, was incorrect.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Army Of Two, though, is correct,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05now taking us down through the teens
0:41:05 > 0:41:08into single figures, still going down, down it goes.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Ooh!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Oh, my goodness. - APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:14One.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:21which is 15-Minute Meals.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24In this case we were looking for Jamie Oliver cookbooks.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Again, it has to be correct and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:41:27 > 0:41:31so, for £1,000, let's see how many people said 15-Minute Meals.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35It's right.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Well, your first answer, Hand On My Heart, was incorrect,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42your second answer, Army Of Two, took us all the way down to one.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Your third...
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Oh! Bad luck.
0:41:48 > 0:41:4921.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000, which will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01but we've really enjoyed having you on the show and, remember,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Unlucky, gents. Some good Olly Murs knowledge there though -
