0:00:16 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Wayne, this is my partner Matt and we're from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Hayley, this is my husband Terry
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- and we're from the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales.- Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Lesley from Tiverton in Devon
0:00:46 > 0:00:50and my friend Julia from Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And finally couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Linda, this is my friend and colleague Andrea
0:00:54 > 0:00:55and we're from Cheshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks to all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout
0:01:02 > 0:01:05the show so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:05 > 0:01:09a runaway train whose next stop is knowledge...
0:01:09 > 0:01:10via Bristol Temple Meads.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Hi, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22If you're a runaway train, you don't have a next stop, just so you know.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Oh, yeah, you do. Yeah, that's where you come off the rails, my friend.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Oh, OK. Some days, I feel more like a runaway rail replacement bus service.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You know what I mean? Some of those days when you wake up.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Now, we've got a nice, little jackpot building up.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- We have, it's not so little. - No, it still hasn't been won
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and we've got two returning pairs from last time -
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Andrea and Linda, who got all the way to the head-to-head, did very well
0:01:43 > 0:01:46so they'll be tough to beat, and Matt and Wayne, who were knocked
0:01:46 > 0:01:49out in the first round, I think we're going to see more of them this time.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Lesley and Julia look like trouble to me.- No.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54You know sometimes we have to discipline people for cheating
0:01:54 > 0:01:58and all sorts of stuff and also foul language sometimes, we have.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Yeah, I know. So, there'll be none of that, OK?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'm absolutely keeping my eye on you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Well said. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, every question on Pointless has been asked
0:02:09 > 0:02:10to 100 people before the show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Today's contestants are searching for a pointless answer,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and each time we find one of those, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Now, Terence and Mike, as you'll have gathered,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24did not win the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that
0:02:24 > 0:02:28so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Now, the pair with the highest
0:02:39 > 0:02:42score at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and do remember there is to be no conferring during the round.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Our first category today is...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51It's a Words round.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:15 > 0:03:19ALEXANDER REPEATS QUESTION
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Richard.- Yes, we're looking for any three-letter word that
0:03:22 > 0:03:24has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26please, that is made up of any of those letters.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You can repeat letters but it has to just be those letters, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33There's about 30-odd three-letter words in the English language using those letters.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words, anything like that.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Very, very best of luck.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Now, Matt and Wayne, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:41 > 0:03:45and today, you're going to go first. Now, remind us what you do, Matt.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I'm an administrator for a charity in London.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- That's right, for the Leverhulme Trust.- Yep.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52What do the Leverhulme Trust do?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57We give grants to academics and universities for research.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00OK, now, do you enjoy Words rounds when you're watching Pointless?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Em, not really but I think I can do this.- OK, very good.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Well, yeah, it seems on the face of it to be quite a nice,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11simple one but there are going to be degrees of rightness, I suspect.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I hope so.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Hopefully, I've got this right and say fad.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Fad. A fad says Matt.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27It's right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:3249.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We'll discover how good a score that is as the round progresses
0:04:35 > 0:04:38but I think that's probably not a bad score, 49 for fad.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Especially from that first podium as well,
0:04:40 > 0:04:41there's much less thinking time.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Yeah, it's a brief fashion, usually a short-lived fashion, a fad.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Hayley, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50And you come from Tonypandy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I do.- Is that how you say Tonypandy? - Tonypandy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I knew I'd have got that wrong. What do you do, Hayley?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57I'm a town planner.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- In Tonypandy?- No, in Barry.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03In Barry? What a great job you've done.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- I think you've planned that beautifully.- Thank you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Barry now, I imagine after Gavin and Stacey,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- must have a whole new industry. - Exactly, yeah, very popular.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- People must come in their thousands. - Oh, the tourists are unbelievable.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Very good. And what do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I like cleaning, I love cleaning.- Do you?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What's your favourite bit of cleaning?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Ironing.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Oh, I could have a good day ironing away with the music on, relaxing.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34That's amazing. What?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Just the satisfaction of a big bungle of clothes turning into something neat.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, just carry on, thinking about nothing, relax, enjoy myself.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Do you watch Pointless when you're ironing?- Yes, I do.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Have you every found yourself leaving a sort of iron-shaped
0:05:46 > 0:05:48mark on one of Terry's shirts?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Anticipating the answer, waiting, hoping I'm right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54How good are you on Words rounds?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Hm, not great.- What are you going to go for, Hayley?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I'm going to go for cab. - Cab.- Cab.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Cab says Hayley.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07OK, well, fad scored 49, let's see what cab scores.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, it's right, obviously.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Oh, 72.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- That is quite a high score. - Yeah, sorry, Hayley.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21A cab is what's waiting outside for the team with the biggest
0:06:21 > 0:06:22score in this round.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Now then, Lesley.- Hello.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29A warm welcome to Pointless, great to have you here from Tiverton.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Yes.- And what do you do with yourself in Tiverton, Lesley?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Well, amateur dramatics, walking,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39the Mid Devon Messenger which is a talking newspaper for the blind.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, you go round and tell people what's up?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Every week, there are eight teams of four people...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Yeah.- ..and on a Tuesday night, we record an hour's news from our
0:06:50 > 0:06:55local papers and then the next day, it's put onto memory sticks
0:06:55 > 0:06:57and it's sent out to about 80 people.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's such a brilliant idea. Oh, good for you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Now then, Lesley, what are you going to go for?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05There are your seven letters you can make three-letter words from.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- I reckon you might have quite a good one.- I'm going to go for gab.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- That's the one I was going to go for.- Really?- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I have got one other stashed away
0:07:14 > 0:07:16but gab is the one I'd have gone for.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Excellent choice if I may say, Lesley, probably a winning one.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Let's find out how many of our 100 people said gab.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Well, our high score is 72, our low, 49,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30you've passed both of those with gab.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- 35.- That's all right.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Very well done, Lesley.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38To talk at length, to gab, as in the gift of the gab.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Thank you very much, Richard. Andrea.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Now, last time, head-to-head. - Yes.- What happened?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Potatoes cropped up, incidentally.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Yeah, we went out on a question on potato varieties.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It was really hard.- Yes. - Potato anagrams.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Everyone else could see them, I couldn't.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I could only see the one you went for, in fact.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Now then, we're looking for any three-letter word that can be
0:08:04 > 0:08:09made from A, B, C, D, E, F or G. What are you going to go for?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I think I will go for ebb.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Ebb says Andrea.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:2635, our low score so far.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Ooh, and you've passed that and how. Look at that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Ebb, 3!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36There we are. Very well done, Andrea.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Well played, Andrea. That's a low ebb, isn't it?- Isn't it? Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- In a good way.- In a good way, yeah. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:47 > 0:08:503, the best score of that pass by a country mile.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Very well done indeed, Andrea.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Linda, that's set you up pretty strongly,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'd say, for the next pass.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Then we travel up to 35 where we find Lesley and Julia, up to 49,
0:08:59 > 0:09:05Matt and Wayne, then 72, Hayley, so, Terry, we need a low score.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08You've got a little bit of time to think about it so, yes,
0:09:08 > 0:09:09let's see something decent from you
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and let's hope it's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We're going to come back down the line now,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- OK. Now then, Linda, welcome back.- Hi.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Now, you have worked with Andrea for 12 years, is it?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- It was a joint effort.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We happened to be talking about Pointless in the canteen
0:09:33 > 0:09:36and then there was a kind of joint "I love Pointless" moment
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- and it sort of escalated from there. - I see.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41So, Linda, there we are, three-letter words,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44three-letter words containing these letters.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I'm going to go for gag.- Gag.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Gag, says Linda.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53OK, well, the high-scorers on 72 are Terry and Hayley.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That means you need to score 68 or less and there's your red line.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Let's see how many people said gag.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Very well done, you're through.
0:10:07 > 0:10:1113. Takes your total up to 16, very well done.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It's very well played, isn't it?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16A joke or a piece of cloth to put over someone's mouth to
0:10:16 > 0:10:18stop them speaking.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Julia, welcome.- Thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- And what do you do with yourself, Julia?- Well, I'm retired.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29What did you do?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I used to work with books and before that,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I worked for a very well-known photographic company.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And how do you and Lesley know each other?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Well, we know each other through amateur dramatics of that
0:10:42 > 0:10:43well-known photographic company.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Oh, so the company laid on its own dramatics?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Yes, we had our own theatre. - Oh, very good.- It was wonderful.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- So you worked together there and you joined the amateur dramatics?- Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Yes, and we met our husbands there as well.- Goodness.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Yes, we did.- Oh, wonderful.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Now, Julia, we want a nice low-scoring three-letter word
0:11:00 > 0:11:02made of some of these letters.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- I'm going to say ace. - Ace says Julia, ace.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15There's your red line, get below that and you're in Round Two.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18It's right.
0:11:22 > 0:11:2439, I think that's going to be all right. 39.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Takes your total up to 74.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Well played, Julia, good answer.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Puts a lot of pressure on Terry now, though, doesn't it?- Certainly does.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39So, yes, Terry. Now, what do you do in Tonypandy?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm a community nurse.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And how long have you and Hayley known each other?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Em, good question.- About 12 years. - 12 years.- 12 years?- Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Was it love at first sight, Terry?- For me, yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54I did all the chasing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59It took a bit longer for me but once I got there, I fell and that was it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Awww, that's nice.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Now, Terry, there you are on 72.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The high-scorers are Julia and Lesley on 74.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12If you can find an answer that scores 1, you're home and dry.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15What do you reckon?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm going to take a shot in the dark.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Gea.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22How are you going to spell that?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26I think it's clarified butter. I think it's G-E-A.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- G-E-A.- Yeah.- OK, gea, says Terry.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37You see that sort of red colour at the very bottom of the column,
0:12:37 > 0:12:42that's your line. Get below that and you are in Round Two.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I mean, if anything's going to get you down there,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46it's going to be a word like gea.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It just has to be correct. Is it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Oh, bad luck, Terry.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I mean you didn't have much choice there, you had to
0:12:57 > 0:12:58go for something really obscure
0:12:58 > 0:13:00but I'm afraid that was just too obscure.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total to 172.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yeah, ghee is G-H-E-E, I'm afraid.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It fails on two counts.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Wayne.- Hello.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Wayne, hey, I've got good news, you're in Round Two.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Whatever happens, you are in Round Two.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23You won't overtake the high score of Terry and Hayley.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Welcome back. Remind us what you do, Wayne.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- I'm a manager at a media company. - What sort of media is it?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I read newspapers all night. That's basically what I do.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35And the idea is what?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Any story, you think, "Oh, that's good, I'll make a note of that."
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Yeah, pretty much.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Anything that might be of interest to any of our clients,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- we sort of, like, send it their way. - So, like a sort of clippings thing?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yeah, to save them going through all the papers themselves.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- And do you enjoy that? - Yes, of course, I do.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'm on national TV, I love my job.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57No, but I mean that's a lot of newspapers you have to read.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58And do you have a set order you read them in?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yes, I start with the Guardian.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And how far down before you come to The Tablet?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07The Hertfordshire Mercury?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08The Hexham Courant?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- I mean they all have to be read. - Well, I work the night shift
0:14:11 > 0:14:13so the day shift deal with the regional newspapers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I see. OK, now, there you are on 49.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You're already through but let's have a nice, low score.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Let's see if you can get a lower score even that Matt.- OK.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, I think I'm going to go for...
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- ..cad.- Cad, says Wayne, cad. No red line, you're already through.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said cad.
0:14:39 > 0:14:4246. Lower than Matt.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- That's all that matters. - Takes your total up to 95.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Well done, Wayne.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's a man who behaves dishonourably, especially towards a woman, a cad.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Now, there's no pointless answers at all.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53As I say, there's 30-odd words and no pointless answers.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Terry needed to score one point
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and there's two answers that would have scored one point.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04The words eff and dee would both have scored one point each.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Def, which is slang from something which is excellent,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08as in that was a def round, I'm sure you'd agree,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10would have scored you two points.
0:15:10 > 0:15:17You would also have got two points for aga. Not the range, the title.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19There's a few other small scorers.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Dag, which we often hear in Australian soap operas
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but that's in the Oxford English Dictionary, would've scored you four.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- What noise does a sheep make? - It's baa.- Would've scored you seven.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Deb would've scored you seven as well.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Add would've got you 15, egg would've got you 18. Bee would've got you 20.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38There's all sorts of other ones but let's take a look at the top
0:15:38 > 0:15:40three, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44In third place was bag for 64.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Cab was 72, the second-highest scorer.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And right at the top,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- bad answer, would've scored you 80. - Oh, bad.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's a brilliant round this one for Scrabble players
0:15:56 > 0:15:58because there's all sorts of three-letter words they know
0:15:58 > 0:16:01because they're in the dictionary and you can use them.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Clever.- Yeah. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with
0:16:06 > 0:16:09a high score of 172, I'm afraid to say it's Terry and Hayley.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- Oh, I'm so sorry. Well, yes... - My fault.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Ghee, we've all learned how not to spell ghee so that's good.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Thank you, an invaluable lesson to ghee users up and down the country.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Anyway, we will see you again next time.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Terry and Hayley, thanks so much for playing. Lovely contestants.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29APPLAUSE
0:16:30 > 0:16:33But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, three pairs remain. Very sadly,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42we'll have to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I wonder who that's going to be.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Matt and Wayne, welcome to Round Two.- BOTH:- Thank you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- How'd you like it?- Yes, it's very nice.- Yeah, very nice.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Lovely, solid performance from Lesley and Julia in that round.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yes, Andrea and Linda, very much the pair to beat
0:16:55 > 0:16:57but best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Artists.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And the question concerns...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Famous works of art, Richard.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six famous
0:17:24 > 0:17:25works of art and we're going to give you
0:17:25 > 0:17:27the initials of the artist who created them.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30We just need you to give us the names of those artists, please.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32There'll be 12 in all to guess at home, best of luck.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36So, we are looking for the name of the artist who created these
0:17:36 > 0:17:39famous works of art and here's our first board of six.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00ALEXANDER REPEATS OPTIONS
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Now, Matt, how are you on art and artists?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14This is probably the worst round you could have given me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I have no idea and that's terrible.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, well, you've got some clues there.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21So, at least when you make something up, you can
0:18:21 > 0:18:25make something up which starts with the right letter which is nice.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Em, yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I will say...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33..The Night Watch...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39..and say Renaissance. I don't know.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Renaissance. Rene Sance.- Yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47OK, let's see if Renaissance did paint The Night Watch
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and if he did, let's see how many people said it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Ooh, bad luck, Matt.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Tough if you don't know that area
0:18:56 > 0:18:59but I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:18:59 > 0:19:02but a game effort, 100 points, it scores you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Yeah, not Renaissance.- No.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Not quite sure where to begin with why that's not a correct answer
0:19:08 > 0:19:10but it's not.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Lesley.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17I don't know whether to go for a definite one or a not-so-sure one.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I think I'll go with The Scream, Edvard Munch.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Edvard Munch says Lesley.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Oh, it's a good answer, very well done indeed, Lesley.
0:19:38 > 0:19:4032. Well done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Yeah, terrific answer.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46There's four versions of it in existence, three of them are in
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Norwegian museums, one was bought by an American financier for 74 million.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Wasn't one stolen and then returned quite recently?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55That's right, yeah, in Norway.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- By me. - Yes, of course, I forgot.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00They haven't caught up with you yet though, have they?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, because I always bring them back.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I do it to test their security and to show my ingenuity.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh, so you're like a white-cap thief?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Well, I kind of am but I do it to mock them
0:20:11 > 0:20:13from my volcano hideaway...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15surrounded by great works of art.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And then I break back in and put them back on.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And the security guard comes back in the morning and goes...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Like that. Yeah, and I'll do it again.- Yeah, I bet you will.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Yeah, I will do.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Good job nobody knows it's you.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Oh, hold on.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Ah, now, Linda. This is all for you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41There are five of them for you to have a go at.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43If you want, you can fill them all in.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46That would be great, wouldn't it? It's not going to happen.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I feel like I should know The Kiss but I can't remember.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So, there's two that I feel like I know
0:20:52 > 0:20:56and I'm going to go The Night Watch, Renoir.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59You're going to say Renoir for The Night Watch.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Ooh, bad luck.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you
0:21:10 > 0:21:12the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Sorry, Linda.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Oh, sorry, Linda. What a good round Lesley's had.- I know.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It's very impressive.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yeah, The Night Watch has caused us all sorts of trouble.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's not Renaissance, it's not Renoir, it is...
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- Rembrandt.- Rembrandt, yes. Would've scored you 24 points.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Now, The Starry Night.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Vincent Van Gogh, of course.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36That would've scored 55. The Kiss.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Was it Gustav Klimt?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It was, Lesley, yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43It would've scored you fewer points, it would've scored you 19.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- The Persistence Of Memory? - Salvador Dali.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Would've scored you 13.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The best answer on the board, The Great Wave At Kanagawa?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I almost know this one.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55- It's Hokusai.- Hokusai.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I say "Hokusai," I was thinking Hakasan or something like that.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It would've scored you two points as well,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04so very well done if you said that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Only two scores between the three teams.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Lesley and Julia
0:22:11 > 0:22:14looking very strong after Lesley's good answer,
0:22:14 > 0:22:1532 for you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19And then up, tied on 100, Matt and Wayne and Linda and Andrea
0:22:19 > 0:22:21so, Andrea and Wayne,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22it's between you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Andrea, you will get first dibs on the next board so, yes,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27use it wisely. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36OK, let's put six more works of art up on the board and here they are.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57ALEXANDER REPEATS OPTIONS
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Now, remember, we're looking for the name of the artist who created
0:23:04 > 0:23:07these famous works of art and, Andrea, obviously, you're going
0:23:07 > 0:23:11to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14OK, now, there you are, you're on 100 points,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18joint high-scorers so it's quite key what you score at this point.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25It's thrown me slightly that there's two JVs so I'm going to go
0:23:25 > 0:23:31for one which I think I'm certain on which is Water Lilies, Claude Monet.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Claude Monet says Andrea for Water Lilies.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36No red line as you're the joint high-scorers
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but let's see how many people said Claude Monet.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Absolutely right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4561.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48161, your total there.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yes, in 1999, when they had the Monet Exhibition in London,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56it stayed open for 34 hours straight at the end because just
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- so many people wanted to go and see it.- That's amazing, isn't it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Yeah, all day, all night, all day.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Now then, Julia.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06This is where I'm going to let Lesley down
0:24:06 > 0:24:08because I can't remember the first names.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Let me tell you some good news, this will gladden your heart.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15You are through to the head-to-head whatever you score
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so a little bit of pressure off there.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, I've forgotten his first name,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26but I think The Singing Butler is, I believe, John Vetriet.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31John Vetriet says Julia, John Vetriet.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Not sure of his first name?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- I'm not sure of his last either. - Not sure of either of his names.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Let's be honest.- John Vetriet.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41OK, well, there's no red line for you for the lovely reason that
0:24:41 > 0:24:42you're already through
0:24:42 > 0:24:45but let's see how many of our 100 people said John Vetriet.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50No, bad luck, Julia, an incorrect answer as it happens.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55takes your total up to 132 but you're through.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Couldn't matter less.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Yes, unlucky, Julia,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00but obviously Lesley's fine work in the previous round.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03But you've got some making-up to do in the head-to-head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Now, Wayne, the high-scorers are Andrea and Linda on 161,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09you're on 100.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12You need to score 60 or less. Can you do it?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Almost certainly not but I'll give it a go.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Do you want to talk us through the board?- I would love to, dearly.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I think I know two.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28I think the Creation Of Adam might be Michelangelo and Guernica,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32possibly Pablo Picasso, I'm just toying which one to go with,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35which one's the most famous.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We'll go with...
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Guernica, Pablo Picasso. - Pablo Picasso, says Wayne.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43There's your red line, if you get below that,
0:25:43 > 0:25:44you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Let's see how many people said Pablo Picasso for Guernica.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50It's right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55And you're through, very well done indeed.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Very well done, 44 it scores you. 144, your total.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Good work, Wayne.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Well played, Wayne.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06It just expresses Picasso's disgust at the destroying of the Basque
0:26:06 > 0:26:10town of Guernica. Very well done. Matt, you got very lucky there.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I did indeed.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Let's fill in these.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Now, The Singing Butler, not John Vetriet,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- you're not a million miles away - Jack Vettriano.- Oh, yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22The Scottish artist, would've scored you 10 points.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The other JV up there, Girl With A Pearl Earring?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Vermeer, Jan Vermeer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Johannes Vermeer, also would have taken Jan Vermeer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Would've scored you 18.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The Creation Of Adam, it was Michelangelo.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Well done, would've scored fewer points, it would've scored 22.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38And American Gothic?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I don't know.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's Grant Wood.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Very well done if you said that, it's the best answer on the board,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46it would've scored 2 points.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home with
0:26:50 > 0:26:53a high score of 161, Andrea and Linda, I'm afraid it's you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Head-to-head last time. - BOTH:- I know.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I thought you were going to go all the way. I really did.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04But I'm afraid the artists did for you. Oh, yeah, Renoir.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06How close were you to saying Rembrandt?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Not very at all, if I'm to be honest.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10OK, well, that makes it a bit easier, I suppose,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13but we've loved having you on the show, thank you so much for playing.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Andrea and Linda, lovely contestants.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18APPLAUSE
0:27:18 > 0:27:22But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Congratulations, Lesley and Julia, Matt and Wayne,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30you're one step closer to the final
0:27:30 > 0:27:33and the chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46the big difference being that you're now allowed to confer.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:58 > 0:28:01OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Jackanory readers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We're going to show you five pictures now of famous people who've
0:28:09 > 0:28:11read stories on the BBC series Jackanory.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Can you identify the most obscure of these five?- Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Let's reveal our five pictures and here they are...
0:28:38 > 0:28:40There we are, five Jackanory readers.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Now, Lesley and Julia, you've played best throughout the show
0:28:43 > 0:28:45so far so you will go first.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48LESLEY AND JULIA CONFER QUIETLY
0:28:53 > 0:28:55We're going for E, Alan Bennett.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Alan Bennett, say Lesley and Julia for E.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Now, Matt and Wayne, do you want to have a shot at the others?
0:29:03 > 0:29:10- I think I know two.- I think I know D but I'm not 100% certain.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16Shall we go for it, yeah? All right, I think D is Peter Purves.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Peter Purves. OK.- Is it? - We shall discover.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26Alan Bennett versus Peter Purves, oh, that's a scrap I'd like to see.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- You could do pay-per-view on that. - Oh, wouldn't it?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Now then, Lesley and Julia said Alan Bennett for E.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Let's find out if that's right
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and if it is, how many people said Alan Bennett.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39It's right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:4430.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46APPLAUSE
0:29:47 > 0:29:4930 for Alan Bennett.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Now then, Matt and Wayne, you have said that D is Peter Purves.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right
0:29:55 > 0:29:58and if it is, how many people said Peter Purves.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oh, bad luck.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Which means, Lesley and Julia, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very well done.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Yes, Alan Bennett appeared on Jackanory 19 times.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- He also did the very, very last Jackanory.- Did he?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Read The House At Pooh Corner. Yep.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Now, D - I think, Lesley and Julia,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19you might have known who that is. It's not Peter Purvis.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Martin Jarvis. - It's Martin Jarvis. Absolutely.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Better answer, as well, would have scored you 13 points.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Would have been a very good answer.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31A - this gentleman did over 70 episodes of Jackanory.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33It's Kenneth Williams.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Would have scored you 71.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Big score.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40B, Geraldine McEwan.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42She would have scored you 5 points,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44she's the best answer up there.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46And C, of course, is Judi Dench.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48What do you think Judi Dench scored?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Um...it's going to be in the 80s.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It's not in the 80s.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55It's in the 90s.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Yeah, 92 points.- Aw, lovely.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Quite right, too.- Brilliant.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Thanks very much indeed. Now, here comes your second question.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Matt and Wayne answer this first
0:31:05 > 0:31:08but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09It concerns...
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Birmingham.- Birmingham.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Richard?- Simply five clues now to facts about the city of Birmingham
0:31:18 > 0:31:21and things associated with it. Can you give us a nice obscure answer?
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25So, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Birmingham -
0:31:25 > 0:31:26and here they come.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I'll read those one last time.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08There we are - five clues
0:32:08 > 0:32:09to facts about Birmingham.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Matt and Wayne, it looks like you've decided on an answer.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14- We have.- Yeah...
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I think we know two - I could probably guess at three.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Yeah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20We're going to go for the comedian
0:32:20 > 0:32:23who starred with Robert Powell
0:32:23 > 0:32:24is Jasper Carrott.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Jasper Carrott, say Matt and Wayne. Jasper Carrott.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Now, Lesley and Julia, do you fancy talking us through the board
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- and seeing if you can answer several of them?- We wish we could!
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Um, Birmingham New Street.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39And...the second one is Edgbaston.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Edgbaston.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42What are we going to go for?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I know that the Birmingham group sang Flowers In The Rain,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47but I can't remember the name of the group.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Um...we'll go for Birmingham New Street.- Yeah, we'll have to.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53OK, Birmingham New Street, say Lesley and Julia.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55So, Matt and Wayne said Jasper Carrott,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02It's right.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05That's a good answer.
0:33:05 > 0:33:0742 for Jasper Carrott, well done.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Lesley and Julia have said Birmingham New Street,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15the busiest railway station in Birmingham.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's right. But it has to beat 42.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Oh, which it does!- Oh, it does!- Wow!
0:33:25 > 0:33:2734 for Birmingham New Street.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Wow, very well done, Lesley and Julia.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36You are straight through to the final after only two questions, 2-0.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Very well done.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yes, unlucky, gents, and well played Lesley and Julia.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Actually, your other answer, Edgbaston, was also right
0:33:43 > 0:33:46and also would have seen you through to play for the jackpot,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48because it would have scored 30 points.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Now, the first song to be heard on Radio 1 WAS Flowers In The Rain,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54as you rightly say.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56And the group was...
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- The Move.- Oh!- Oh, yes, of course.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00The Move, there, would have scored you 9 points.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The best answer was the one at the bottom,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04the lord mayor of the city who later became Prime Minister
0:34:04 > 0:34:06was Neville Chamberlain.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Would have scored 6 points.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09So very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I'm afraid to say it's Matt and Wayne.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Well, Jasper Carrott - I mean, obviously very well-known comedian,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and I suppose in that role, particularly well-known,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24but who'd have thought that it was even better known than
0:34:24 > 0:34:26the name of the main station?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Yeah, we knew that one as well, but...- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Well, on such things are Pointless decisions made, I suppose.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35We have to say goodbye. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Thank you.- Thank you playing, Matt and Wayne.- Thank you.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:44But, for Lesley and Julia, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Congratulations, Lesley and Julia,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52you've seen off all the competition
0:34:52 > 0:34:54and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:03 > 0:35:06and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £9,000.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09APPLAUSE
0:35:11 > 0:35:13As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15and you have four options to choose from,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and they are...
0:35:26 > 0:35:28What do you think, Lesley? What's your best?
0:35:28 > 0:35:29I'm an addict, but it depends.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- What, Formula 1?- I love F1.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33F1, British Formula 1, please.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Formula 1. - I hope I don't disgrace myself!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Way to go, that's impressive. Good stuff, Julia.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Very best of luck. Richard, it's Formula 1.- Yes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Not often I'm taken by surprise by, er...
0:35:44 > 0:35:45LAUGHTER
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- ..but, Julia, you've managed it. - So am I!
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Now I'm worried.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51OK, we're going to give you three different questions here,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54can you give us the answers to any of these, please?
0:35:54 > 0:35:59In the 2008-2009 Formula 1 seasons won by Button or Hamilton,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01we're looking for anyone who was on the podium
0:36:01 > 0:36:03in any Grand Prix race, please.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08We are looking for any circuit where Jackie Stewart won a Grand Prix.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Or we are looking for any winner of the British Grand Prix
0:36:11 > 0:36:14when it was held at Aintree or Brands Hatch.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17So, anyone who was on the podium in 2008 or 2009,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20we're looking for any Jackie Stewart Grand Prix victory,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22any track where he had a victory,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25or any winner of an Aintree or Brands Hatch British Grand Prix.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Very best of luck.- Now, as always,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And to win that jackpot all you need to do is find one pointless answer.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Now, remember,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38the answers you provide can come from any of these categories -
0:36:38 > 0:36:40it's up to you how you spread them across the categories,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43they can all come from one, you can have one from each,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45two from one, one from another. Entirely up to you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46- Are you ready?- Yes, thank you.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50There they are.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Your time starts now.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Kimi Raikkonen, but then... - Kimi Raikkonen.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Felipe Massa.- Yeah. Um...
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen...
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Michael Schumacher... - Yes, I think he was, in that time.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Michael Schumacher... - Not Vettel.- No.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Desperately trying to think. - Can't think of any more.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Got to get another one. - I can't think of the other ones.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- I think that's the only one... - Felipe Massa...
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Um...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Alonso.- Alonso, yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Fernando Alonso.- They're three that people would know.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Yes, I know they are.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I can't think. Um...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Just trying to think of any other ones.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Um....yeah, I am.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Michael Schumacher...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Fernando Alonso...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Felipe Massa, definitely.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Ten seconds left.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- I can't think of another one. - No, I can't.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47No, it won't come to me. We'll have to say...
0:37:52 > 0:37:53OK, well, that is your time up.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I now need to know which answers you're going to give me.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Button and Hamilton podium places, all three.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Felipe Massa.- Felipe Massa.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Kimi Raikkonen.- Kimi Raikkonen.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Alonso?- Um...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Fernando Alonso. - And Fernando Alonso.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- OK. - Yes, I'm not sure about that one.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Now, of those three,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Felipe Massa. - So, Felipe Massa we'll put last.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Yes.- Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Kimi Raikkonen. - Kimi Raikkonen we'll put first.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27We've got...
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Your first answer was Kimi Raikkonen.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37This is one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40but remember, only one of those answers has to be pointless
0:38:40 > 0:38:42for you to win the jackpot of £9,000.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Really decent jackpot today!
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Lesley, what would you do with your share of that?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Well, I've got nine grandsons,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51so I think the families might get some of it,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53but I think we enjoy having weekends away,
0:38:53 > 0:38:57long weekends away, so we might have a couple of those, as well.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Lovely. Excellent. Julia, how about you?
0:38:59 > 0:39:05Well, I'd use some of mine to go and see my friends in America.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Perfect.- Yes. - Well, very best of luck.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Three perfectly good answers on the board.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Let's hope one of those is pointless.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13OK, your first answer was Kimi Raikkonen.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Now, this has to be correct, then it has to be pointless
0:39:16 > 0:39:19for you to win that jackpot, so, for £9,000, let's find out
0:39:19 > 0:39:23if Kimi Raikkonen was ever on the podium in 2008 or 2009.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26It's right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31OK, this is where we discover how much our 100 people
0:39:31 > 0:39:33know about the history of Formula 1.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Down it goes, through the 20s, through the teens, into...
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Almost in to single figures.
0:39:37 > 0:39:3810.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40APPLAUSE
0:39:43 > 0:39:4510 for Kimi Raikkonen.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Unfortunately not a pointless answer, Kimi Raikkonen.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Your next answer was Fernando Alonso.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Again, it has to be correct,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57and then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00So, for £9,000, let's see how many people remembered
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Fernando Alonso being on the podium in 2008 or 2009.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Well, it's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12Your first answer, Kimi Raikkonen, took us all the way down to 10.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Your second answer, Fernando Alonso, taking us down...
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Oh, to 20!
0:40:17 > 0:40:1920 for Alonso.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Which means it is all now riding on your last answer,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- which is Felipe Massa. You thought this was your best shot...- Hope so!
0:40:30 > 0:40:34..at a pointless answer. Let's hope you put it in the right place.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35OK, this has to be correct,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40For £9,000, how many people said Felipe Massa
0:40:40 > 0:40:44being on the podium for 2008 or 2009?
0:40:46 > 0:40:47It's right.
