0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Hilary, and this is my daughter Rachel,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40and we come from Radcliffe near Manchester.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Barbara, this is my husband Chris,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and we're from Collingham in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hello, I'm Sam, I'm from Redditch,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and this is my friend, Neil, from Solihull.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Claire, and I'm from Barry Island,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and this is my work friend, Emyr, and he's from Cardiff.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Thanks so much, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He wanted me to thank all our viewers for his lovely fan mail,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15except for Lynn from Goole, whose charcoal sketch of him
0:01:15 > 0:01:19sitting on the loo, and, I quote, shocked him to the very core.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hi, everybody.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Good day to you.- And to you.- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We've got two returning pairs from last time, Emyr and Claire.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Got knocked out in Round Two, I think,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and Chris and Barbara got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So, both with something to prove.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's always nice when we have people whose names add up to a celebrity.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46We've had Moira Stewart. We had Ang Lee the other day.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We've got Sam Neill on podium three. It's nice, isn't it?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Round One today you're going to love.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Am I?- Absolutely up your street.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Anybody our age is going to absolutely adore it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59That said, I will say now,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02anybody who says, "That's a bit before my time,"
0:02:02 > 0:02:05is in big, big trouble.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- No-one to say that.- Brilliant.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Although, it will be before your time.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Every question on Pointless has been asked
0:02:13 > 0:02:15to 100 people before the show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16The aim of the game is to find
0:02:16 > 0:02:20a pointless answer, that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Laura and Amanda won the jackpot last time,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35APPLAUSE
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:38 > 0:02:40will be eliminated.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43There is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Our category for Round One is...
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Music.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So far, so good.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00The question concerns...
0:03:02 > 0:03:08..'80s pop. '80s pop. Just a dream come true. Richard?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10In a moment, Xander's going to show you a list of
0:03:10 > 0:03:12six pop acts famous in the '80s.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We're looking for any top 40 single any of them had
0:03:15 > 0:03:17during the 1980s, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Any single in the top 40 for any of these groups in the 1980s.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Very best of luck.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Thanks very much. We're going to put six pop acts on the board.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29They will remain all the way through the round.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30They won't be changing halfway through.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34We'll go up the line, come back down, but they'll stay on the board.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38All we're after is any UK top 40 single by any of these bands.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Good luck. Let's put our six bands up.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Hilary and Rachel, you drew lots before the show
0:03:52 > 0:03:53and, today, you are going first.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Hilary, welcome to the show, great to have you here. What do you do?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- I work as a theatre dresser. - Now, I know what that means.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- It doesn't mean you dress theatres!- No, I don't,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I dress the people who work in theatres on stage.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06You're responsible for when they run off
0:04:06 > 0:04:09and run back on wearing something different.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10How long have you done that for?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I've done it since 2005, something like that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Do you love it? - I do, I really enjoy it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- You must get to see so many plays as well.- Yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21And musicals, all sorts.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Good stuff. Now, Hilary,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I would have thought this would be right up your street
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- but you're not looking as happy as I'd have hoped.- No.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I haven't a clue. I knew this would happen. Erm...
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Just everything's gone straight from my head.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Er...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're The One That I Want.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43SHE LAUGHS
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I knew this would happen.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You're The One That I Want, says Hilary.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Let's see if that is by any of these bands.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54You're The One That I Want.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00No. Oh, I'm sorry, Hilary. It's always hard on that first podium.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I kind of knew it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04You'll hear some answers that might give you ideas.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Not that there's much you can do.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09But still, 100 points, I'm afraid, that's scored you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11That is tough. As the round goes on,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14you know there are so many answers up here that you know.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Sometimes, you can see it, the brain won't let you access them.- Exactly.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Barbara, welcome back to the show. - Hello, there.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Remind us what you do.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm an assistant practice manager at a GP's surgery.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28How did you and Chris meet?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32We met at a friend's wedding, 37 years ago.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- I was bridesmaid, he was usher. - Very nice.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Listen, Barbara.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43A UK top 40 hit by any one of these bands.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'll go for Last Christmas.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Last Christmas. Last Christmas, says Barbara.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Let's see if that's right,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and how many of our 100 people said Last Christmas?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Our highest score is 100, so you beat that.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- 39, not bad. - APPLAUSE
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Safe answer. Biggest selling single of all time
0:06:07 > 0:06:09that didn't get to number one.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Thanks, Richard.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Sam, welcome.- Hi.- Welcome to the show. What do you do, Sam?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm a watch designer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Are you?- Yes.- In your own right, or for a watch design company?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I work for a watch design company.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24How long have you been designing watches?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I have been designing for about four-and-a-half years.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Do you have a favourite watch?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I do have several favourite watches.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33You tend to accumulate quite a collection, being a designer.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Lots of inspiration.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Sam, what about this board? Is this good for you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41This is actually quite good for me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- A bit before my time! - LAUGHTER
0:06:44 > 0:06:46However, I'm going to say The Smiths,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and I'm going to say, How Soon Is Now.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52How Soon Is Now, says Sam.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Let's see if that's right.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said How Soon Is Now?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00It's right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:0439 is our low score at the moment. You've passed that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Ten. - APPLAUSE
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Very, very well played, Sam. That's a great answer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Ten points.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Well played, Sam.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Not a huge hit, actually, but became one of their more iconic songs,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20How Soon Is Now?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Thanks, Richard.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Emyr?- Hello.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Welcome back. Round Two, last time.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Yes.- Ashes Cricketers. Yes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33So, Emyr, back we come. How is the '80s for you?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Very good. It's very much my era.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Just racking my brain which one to pick. So...
0:07:39 > 0:07:45But I think I'm going to go for Duran Duran, and Union Of The Snake.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Union Of The Snake.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48That was the one I originally thought of,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- but I've thought of another one now! - EMYR LAUGHS
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Let's see how you and I would have done.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Union Of The Snake, is it right, and how many people said it?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It's right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, 10 is our low score.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08You've passed that, 2!
0:08:08 > 0:08:09APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Union Of The Snake.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16You scored two.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Good answer, Emyr.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20This is literally a perfect round for so many at home.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- People are getting hundreds of the answers.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Let's look at our scores - we're halfway through the round.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Very well done, Emyr, that's the best score of that part.
0:08:28 > 0:08:332 sets you pretty much straight for the rest of this round.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Then, up to 10 where we see Sam and Neil.
0:08:35 > 0:08:3739, Barbara and Chris.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Then Hilary and Rachel, I'm sorry, languishing on 100.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Rachel, we'll need a low score from you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Best of luck with that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Now, Claire.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Remember, we are looking for any UK top 40 single by any of these bands.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Claire. Remind us what you do? - I'm a civil servant.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- And you live in Barry. - Barry Island, yes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06What do you get up to on Barry Island?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I live right next to the beach which is really handy
0:09:09 > 0:09:12because I've just started having personal training.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I've been running along the beach like Rocky.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Oh, fantastic.- With my trainer.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- "There's no tomorrow."- No.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- With your trainer? Yes. - With a towel around his neck?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yeah, full-on.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Lots of tyre flipping and hammering tyres, generally being quite macho.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Hammering tyres?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Is that... I suppose beach personal training may be different
0:09:33 > 0:09:35from other personal training.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Is that just stuff you find lying on a beach in Barry?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- No. He brings it in his van. - He brings it!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42You've never done that?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Big, old tractor tyres you whack with sledgehammers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yeah. That's it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50My personal training, when I've done it, has been so tame.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- I haven't hit a single tyre with a sledgehammer.- It's great.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It sounds brilliant. - It's really good fun.- You do it too?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- Yeah.- On a beach in Barry?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Not on a beach in Barry, no. On a beach with Barry!
0:10:01 > 0:10:02LAUGHTER
0:10:02 > 0:10:04So, Claire.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- You have to score 97 or less... - The pressure's on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10..and you are through, or arguably, it's not.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'll go for Wham!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Because I was a big fan
0:10:16 > 0:10:20and I'm going to go for Freedom.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Freedom, says Claire.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Freedom. There is your red line. You get below that, you're in round two.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Let's see. Was that an '80s hit for Wham!?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's right! Very well done indeed, Claire. Oh!
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Well done!- Look at that. Our only single-figure total of the round.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Very well done indeed on podium four.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Claire and Emyr, your total is seven.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well played, Claire, a number one from 1984.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Thanks, Richard.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Neil, welcome to the show. What do you do, Neil?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'm also a watch designer,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04so I've been designing for nearly ten years now. Not always watches.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06What did you design before that?
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Men's accessories. Bags, wallets, giftware, jewellery.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Fantastic. So, do you work alongside Sam, then?- We used to work together.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18We're now actually competing against each other in the watch industry.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- What, a rival?- Yeah.- He's a rival.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Who's the big hand, who's the little hand?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I would say we're on the same level.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- We're great at collaborating together.- OK. Very good.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, Neil, there you are on ten.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34The high scorers are Rachel and Hilary on 100.
0:11:34 > 0:11:3689 or less is what you need.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39OK, so, in the back of my mind I'm thinking
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The Bangles might have sung Eternal Flame.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Eternal Flame, says Neil. Here's your red line.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49If you get below this red line, you're in round two.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Let's see how many people said Eternal Flame.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It's right, and you're through.
0:11:57 > 0:11:5932.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01APPLAUSE
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Very well done. 42 is your total.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Number one single from 1989. Did exactly what you had to do there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Atomic Kitten did a cover as well, didn't they?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13But The Bangles, a very good version.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Now then, Chris, welcome back.- Hi.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Now, we discovered last time that you are retired
0:12:19 > 0:12:23but sometimes help out at the practice with Barbara.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- You're a beekeeper.- Absolutely, yes.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29What is there around and about you for the bees to feed on?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Is there anything predominantly that they...?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Well, we live in a village,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37so it's mainly flora that surround the village.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Fortunately there are fields close by.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Particularly during May and June, lots of oilseed rape,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- and the bees see the yellow... - And they love it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47The honey's not as nice...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I was going to say, it's quite a pungent flavour, that, isn't it?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Yeah, it's got an acquired taste to it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Still, nice enough.- Yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Anyway, there you are. You're on 39.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Rachel and Hilary still on 100, still our high scorers.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- So, 60 or less.- Yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Not enough lead guitar in it for me, I'm afraid, these bands.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11I can sing lots of them. I'm going to go with a Duran Duran one.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Fingers crossed, because I've got it in my mind, Hungry Like The Wolf.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hungry Like The Wolf, says Chris.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18OK. Here's your red line.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Get below that and you're in round two.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Let's see how many people said Hungry Like The Wolf.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Very well done, you're through.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3219!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- 58, your total.- Thank you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Yeah, good answer, of course, Clara sings that on Doctor Who
0:13:40 > 0:13:43and saves the world. Her version of Hungry Like The Wolf.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Rachel.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'm afraid, there you are.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Still our high scorers and you haven't yet given your answer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Rachel, what do you do?- I am also a dresser.- Are you really?- I am.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- The same theatre?- No, we used to work in the same theatre,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- but now I'm in the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.- I see.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- So you compare notes.- Yes.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Who do you reckon - don't worry,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08your mother won't be able to see this - who do you reckon's better?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Hmmm.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'm going to have to say me.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14LAUGHTER
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Anyhow, Rachel.- Yes?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Rachel.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's not too bad for me, so I don't know any brilliant answers so
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I wouldn't have got through anyway.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I've got one in my head that I think is the Smiths,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and I was going to go with it to find out whether it's right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And it's Girlfriend In A Coma.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36OK, Girlfriend In A Coma, says Rachel.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39No red line, as you're already the high scorers.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said Girlfriend In A Coma.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Look at that! Three!
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Ah!
0:14:56 > 0:14:57CHEERING
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Wow!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'm afraid, a pyrrhic victory, Rachel.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Three takes your total up to 103,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05our second lowest score of the entire round.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's a fabulous answer. Great song.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10And under any other circumstances,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14it would have seen you comfortably through to round two, but I'm sorry.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's a great answer, Rachel. Very well played.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18They wouldn't have let you back up to Manchester
0:15:18 > 0:15:21if at least one of you hadn't named a Smiths song. So very well done.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'll take you through pointless answers.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27There's six different bands, different songs, so six different questions going on. Duran Duran...
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Oh, can I try one?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- Course you can.- Notorious.- Notorious is a pointless answer.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- Get in!- Well done.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36APPLAUSE
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Nicely done. In fact, Duran Duran, there's loads of pointless answers.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43You could have had Notorious, I Don't Want Your Love, you could have
0:15:43 > 0:15:45had My Own Way, Burning The Ground, Do You Believe In Shame?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Is There Something I Should Know?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49New Moon On Monday, All She Wants Is and Careless Memories,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51all of those were pointless answers.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55The biggest scorers for Duran Duran were Rio and Hungry Like The Wolf.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57If we go on to Human League,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00the biggest scorer by a mile was Don't You Want Me, with 40 points.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Only two pointless answers for them, Life On Your Own and Open Your Heart.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Well done if you said either of those.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Pet Shop Boys, biggest scorer, West End Girls, for 35.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11The lowest scorer with two pointless answers again,
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Love Comes Quickly and It's All Right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Both of those would have been pointless.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17The Bangles, Walk Like An Egyptian was the biggest scorer, 34,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20just beating Eternal Flame, and their pointless answers,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Be With You, If She Knew What She Wants and Walking Down Your Street.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The Smiths, biggest scorer was in fact, How Soon Is Now
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and This Charming Man, at ten points, the biggest scorers there.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Pointless answers, Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Shoplifters Of The World Unite,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Big Mouth Strikes Again, Ask, a pointless answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39And Wham! The biggest scorer of anything we've had in this round,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, 57 points.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And pointless answers, only two, Club Fantastic Megamix,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48a pointless answer, yep, me neither, or Where Did Your Heart Go?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So very well done if you said any of those many, many,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- many pointless answers. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57At the end of our first round, the pair heading home with
0:16:57 > 0:16:59a high score of 103, I'm sorry, Rachel and Hilary.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Well. Hilary...- I know.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Did you start having good ideas when you heard other people's ideas?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09As soon as I heard them, it was like...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Last Christmas, for goodness' sake! - I know, for goodness' sake!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I know, but as Richard said, once your brain has just frozen,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I know it happens, it happens.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Never mind.- Anyway. Great news for us. We'll see you again next time.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Look forward to that very much indeed.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24In the meantime, thank you very much for playing, Rachel and Hilary!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:29For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And now we're down to just three pairs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Obviously after this round, we'll be down to just two pairs.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I wonder which pair we'll be saying goodbye to?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Emyr and Claire, not you, on the strength of that round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Fantastic low scoring there!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Sam and Neil, not bad at all either.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Chris and Barbara, a little bit lucky.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53A little bit lucky but better. Yeah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The category for round two is...
0:17:59 > 0:18:03History. Can you decide, in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Things in history beginning with V, Richard.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Yeah, simply going to ask you six questions on each board.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23All of the answers begin with V.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So, we are looking for these historical things that begin
0:18:27 > 0:18:29with the letter V, and here is our first board of six.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It reads like this.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20There we are - six clues to six historical things
0:19:20 > 0:19:22beginning with the letter V.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26OK, Barbara. Historical things beginning with V.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27How's that board for you?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's not bad.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35I'm not saying too much in case I bomb and get 100.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40I would like to go to the palace declared official residence as Versailles.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Versailles, says Barbara.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Let's see if Versailles's right. How many people said it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48It's right.
0:19:51 > 0:19:5345.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Not bad, 45, for Versailles.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yes, a castle and a palace, Versailles.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You can use the words interchangeably for it.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Thank you.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Now, Sam, things beginning with V.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09There's a couple on there
0:20:09 > 0:20:14which I could have been tempted to guess at,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17however there are also a couple that I know.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I'm going to go for the spacecraft launched in 1977
0:20:21 > 0:20:23and say Voyager.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Voyager, says, Sam, for the spacecraft.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Let's see if Voyager's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's right.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well, 45 is our only score at the moment.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35You've passed that.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3621.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:20:44 > 0:20:46That's a terrific answer, yeah, well played.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49In 2012 Voyager 1 became the first man-made object
0:20:49 > 0:20:52ever to leave the solar system. That's quite cool.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It's currently 12 billion miles away from Earth.
0:20:55 > 0:20:5912 billion miles. Imagine if you'd left your keys at home.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Yeah!- There's a limit to how far away you are from your house
0:21:02 > 0:21:05if you've left something. You just go, "You know what, forget it."
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I can't bear it. If I get to the end of my street and I have to turn back it drives me mad.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11If I had to go back 12 billion miles
0:21:11 > 0:21:15just because I thought I'd left the iron on...
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Thanks very much indeed. OK. Now then, Emyr,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the Vs?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I think the British queen is Victoria.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Surname of the Dutch painter, I think, is Van Gogh.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35The doge, I think that's Venice.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I'm not too sure of...
0:21:36 > 0:21:40the name given to the revolution in Czechoslovakia.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42The only stab I'd have at that would be Vltava, maybe,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45which is the name of the river which goes through Prague.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I'm going to go for surname of the Dutch painter -
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Van Gogh.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Van Gogh, says Emyr. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55If it is, let's see how many people said Van Gogh.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01No, I'm sorry, Emyr, not Van Gogh,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It was Vermeer, I'm afraid,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09was the painter of the Girl With A Pearl Earring.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Would've scored you 18 points.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The Doge, you were right, is Venice.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Would have scored you 32, so would've done less damage.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You were right about the queen, as well, you'll be amazed to hear,
0:22:19 > 0:22:20it was Victoria,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23but barely better than 100, to be honest, would've scored you 92.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- And do you know the name of the revolution?- Velvet.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28The Velvet Revolution. And that would've scored 23 points.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So the best answer on the board, actually, is Vermeer,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- so well done if you said that at home.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36We're halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:22:36 > 0:22:3921 the best score of that pass, Sam. Very well done indeed.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4145, Barbara and Chris. Well done.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Looking pretty solid at this stage.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Then up to 100, where we find Emyr and Claire.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So, yes, Claire, we need a nice low score from you on the next pass
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and let's hope that's enough to see you through.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55OK, we're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00OK, let's put six more clues on the board, and here they are.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53There we are.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Six clues to six historical things beginning with the letter V.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Claire, you're the high scorers,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01so we need a nice low score from you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- What do you make of that board?- It's OK.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06I have a history degree,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10which kind of puts me under a little bit of pressure for this round,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12but I'm going to go for the first one,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and I think the answer to that is Vichy.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Vichy, says Claire. Vichy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21but let's see how many of our 100 people said Vichy.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Very well done.
0:24:28 > 0:24:2929.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:24:31 > 0:24:3529. Takes your total up to 129.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Named after the provincial town of Vichy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40If you think it's bad for you, having a history degree in this round,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I've got a degree in things beginning with V.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45LAUGHTER So there'd be a lot of pressure for me on this.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Neil, now there you are on 21
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and through to the head-to-head.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Even if you score 100 points,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55you won't overtake the high score of Claire and Emyr there.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00OK, well, I was hoping you might wangle in a Dutch footballer
0:25:00 > 0:25:03as a historical person or event.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05But that doesn't seem to have cropped up.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It appears not to have happened, doesn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12I think I'm going to guess at the surname of the Italian composer...
0:25:12 > 0:25:13possibly Vivaldi.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Vivaldi, says Neil.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17No red line, as you're already through.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Let's see how many people said Vivaldi.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- APPLAUSE - 69.
0:25:26 > 0:25:2890 is your total.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Yeah, he composed that in 1723.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Most of the work we know of his today
0:25:33 > 0:25:36was discovered in a trunk in the 1920s.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's exciting, isn't it?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And he later on played left-back at Derby County as well.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Thank you very much.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Now then, Chris, you're the last person to have this board.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You also need to score 83 or less.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in the blanks?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56The bottom one I'm not certain,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00but beginning with V... it's got to be Vietnam, hasn't it?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03The Roman Emperor, Vespasian, maybe.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06French Enlightenment writer and philosopher, I couldn't tell you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I will go for the Roman poet who wrote the Aeneid as Virgil.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13OK, writer of the Aeneid, Virgil, says Chris.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14There's your red line.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16If you get below that with Virgil, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Let's see how many people said Virgil.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Very well done.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Good answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:2726.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:29 > 0:26:3271 your total.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Well played, Chris, good answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yeah, Virgil. He was a poet, he was a thinker, he was a Thunderbird.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Many, many things, Virgil.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Erm, better answer would've been the Roman Emperor.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44You're quite right, it was Vespasian,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and that would've scored you 6 points.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51You're right about the Vietnam War as well, down the bottom there.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54That would've scored you a few more, would've scored you 36.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56And the philosopher.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57- Voltaire.- Is Voltaire.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yep. And that would've scored 14.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But the best answer on the board was Vespasian, well done,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04and well done if you said that at home as well.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Thanks very much. At the end of our second round,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10the pair heading home with a high score of 129 are Claire and Emyr.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Oh, dear, I'm so sorry.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Really not bad at all with your Vichy answer,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15that was a cracking answer.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I'm sorry, though, Emyr,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19it was your Van Gogh.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Such a good performance in the first round though,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I really thought that was you
0:27:24 > 0:27:26set for the head-to-head and beyond, possibly.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28But I'm afraid you've tumbled
0:27:28 > 0:27:29at the things beginning with V.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm really sorry. Anyway, we have to say goodbye.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's been lovely having you on the show, thanks so much for playing.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Claire and Emyr.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:42But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Congratulations, Chris and Barbara, Sam and Neil.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Now we have to decide who's going to go through to the final and play for that money,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and, to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03This time, obviously, you're allowed to confer
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:05 > 0:28:08will be playing for that jackpot. Welcome to the head-to-head.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Chris and Barbara, you've been on Pointless before,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12but you haven't been this far before.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Sam and Neil, first time on Pointless. How are you feeling?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- All right?- Feeling good.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19And, Chris and Barbara,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- I am well pleased with you. - Thank you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24There you are, our golden couple in the head-to-head round.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You have my sincerest congratulations, well done.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Thank you.- Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31APPLAUSE
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Here comes your first question,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39and it concerns...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Celebrity owners of racehorses. Richard.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Yeah, we're going to show you five celebrities now,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48all of whom own or part-own a racehorse.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Can you name the most obscure of these five?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Thanks very much indeed. OK, let's reveal our five celebrities.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Here they come. We've got...
0:29:12 > 0:29:15There we are. Five celebrity racehorse owners.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Chris and Barbara, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20so you will go first.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- A?- I don't know A.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26B is... Oh, it's Downton Abbey.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30C's Simon Cowell. D's Mick Channon.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Mm-hmm.- E's Eddie Jordan.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Let's just go for Mick Channon.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37OK, we'll go for him, then.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40We'll go for D, Mick Channon, please.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Mick Channon, say Chris and Barbara, Mick Channon.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Now, Sam and Neil,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46the board's yours, talk us through it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49OK, so C's the most obvious,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52it's Simon Cowell.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54E is Eddie Jordan.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Sam's got an inkling of A, which...
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Do you think Eddie Jordan,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02if they got D right do you think Eddie Jordan would stand a chance?
0:30:02 > 0:30:06I think if D's right, Eddie Jordan wouldn't stand a chance
0:30:06 > 0:30:10and A could possibly be Burt Bacharach, maybe.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13So shall we go for A?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Yeah. We're going to go for A, Burt Bacharach.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17You're saying Burt Bacharach for A.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21So, Chris and Barbara have said Mick Channon for D.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Let's see if that's right
0:30:23 > 0:30:26and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mick Channon.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28It's right.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- APPLAUSE - Wow, 9.
0:30:42 > 0:30:449 for Mick Channon, that's a great answer.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Now, Sam and Neil, you've gone out on a bit of a limb here for A.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50How certain are you?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Not very certain.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54OK, so you are saying A is Burt Bacharach.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00It's right.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04It is Burt Bacharach. But it has to beat 9.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07And it does! Look at that. 6.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Very well done indeed.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Two fantastic answers, I suspect the best answers on that board.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20But, Sam and Neil, very well done. After one question you're up 1-0.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Yeah, won it by a nose there.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23And they are the best two answers on the board.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Very well played, both teams.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Mick Channon, of course, a trainer and owner.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Burt Bacharach has had a number of horses. B is Xander Armstrong.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33He would've scored... I'm so sorry. GIGGLING
0:31:33 > 0:31:36B is Hugh Bonneville, of course,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38who has a part share in a couple of racehorses,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40would've scored you 25 points.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42C is Simon Cowell,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44we all knew, big scorer.
0:31:44 > 0:31:4687.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47And you were right to avoid Eddie Jordan.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Of course it's him, but he would've scored you too many points.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52He would've scored you 28.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55So the best two answers on the board. You can't do better than that.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your second question.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Chris and Barbara, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Blue Peter. Richard.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11We're going to show you the names of five Blue Peter presenters now,
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- but we've removed alternate letters from their name. Can you fill in the gaps?- Thanks very much.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So let's reveal our five Blue Peter presenters, and here they are.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31I'll read those all again.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Now then, Sam and Neil,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47you will go first.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51THEY CONFER
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Helen Skelton is the new one... She's the latest one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07She did all the Olympics.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10But I think Tim Vincent is probably the best answer.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13OK, we know three of them. Erm...
0:33:13 > 0:33:16We're going to go for the one in the middle
0:33:16 > 0:33:18which, hopefully, is Tim Vincent.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Tim Vincent, say Sam and Neil.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Tim Vincent.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Chris and Barbara, do you want to talk us through
0:33:24 > 0:33:26all the rest, if you can?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Right, well, Chris thinks the top one's Anita somebody,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31but we can't put...
0:33:31 > 0:33:35And the second one is John Noakes.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Peter Duncan, second from the bottom, and Helen Skelton.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- I think we're going to go for Peter Duncan.- Yeah.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48OK, Peter Duncan, say Chris and Barbara.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51So, Tim Vincent versus Peter Duncan.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Sam and Neil said Tim Vincent.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Let's see if that's right
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59It's right.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- APPLAUSE - 9.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Very well done, Sam and Neil. 9 for Tim Vincent.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Meanwhile Chris and Barbara are saying Peter Duncan,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16for the one up from the bottom.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Let's see if that's right
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and let's see how many people said Peter Duncan.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Oh.
0:34:26 > 0:34:2851 for Peter Duncan.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Which means very well done indeed, Sam and Neil,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34after only two questions you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Yes, Peter Duncan's actually the biggest scorer on the board there.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40If you had known the top one
0:34:40 > 0:34:43we'd have got the best two answers on the board again.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46If you had to make up a surname? It is Anita.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Best.- Oh, Anita West.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Anita West. Would've scored you two points.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54John Noakes would've scored you 32.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59And Helen Skelton would've scored you 17.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04So, at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'm afraid the pair leaving us are Chris and Barbara.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It's been a show of ups and downs, Chris and Barbara.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11A little bit touch-and-go in round one,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14but then came bouncing back in round two fantastically.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17But then into the head-to-head. But Sam and Neil just managed to pip...
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I mean, two single scorers from them, really very hard to beat.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Which means, I'm afraid, we have to say goodbye, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Thanks very much for playing. Chris and Barbara.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- APPLAUSE - But for Sam and Neil,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Congratulations, Sam and Neil,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39you've fought off all the competition
0:35:39 > 0:35:42and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55There it is.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Well, a great performance.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Consistent low scoring,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00but so good, when it really mattered,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02in that head-to-head round.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Well, as you know, you get to choose your category from four options,
0:36:06 > 0:36:07and here are those four options.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09We have Costume Dramas,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Scottish Sport, Bowie Albums,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14The London Underground.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Well...
0:36:17 > 0:36:19We'd be quite good at London Underground actually.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24But Sam is a massive David Bowie fan.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Bowie fan. I'm a very big David Bowie fan and...
0:36:29 > 0:36:33I would really like to pick that category
0:36:33 > 0:36:34if Neil's happy to do that also.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36We'd do all right at Scottish Sport,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39but I think your knowledge of Bowie would be...
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You know, silly to not go with that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Let's pick Bowie Albums.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44OK, well, we have given away -
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I can't remember how many consecutive shows now -
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- we've given away the jackpot.- Three.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Three consecutive shows.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Might this be a fourth, I wonder.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Never given away the jackpot four shows in a row before.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Never been done.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58So if you do know your Bowie, could be about to make Pointless history.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Very, very best of luck.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03We are looking for any of the tracks on the original releases
0:37:03 > 0:37:05of these David Bowie albums.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Any track on Diamond Dogs, the original release.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Any track on the original release of Scary Monsters.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Or any track on the original release of Let's Dance.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Very, very best of luck, guys. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19OK, well, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:19 > 0:37:22to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:22 > 0:37:25is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Now, remember, the answers you provide
0:37:26 > 0:37:28can come from any of these three,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31and how you spread them across those categories is entirely up to you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40OK, so, I'm not good with the titles.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I only know Under Pressure, Queen.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I don't think that was featured on an album,
0:37:45 > 0:37:49I think that was just brought out as a kind of charity single. I think...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Those three albums aren't my strongest Bowie albums.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55However, there's the title tracks -
0:37:55 > 0:37:57for Diamond Dogs, obviously Diamond Dogs.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00For Scary Monsters, it's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).
0:38:00 > 0:38:03We won't accept the title tracks from the albums, guys,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05cos the name's already there.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06They'd score you too many anyway.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I think we should concentrate on Let's Dance,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11and from that era we could say...
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Modern Love.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17We can say, erm...China Girl.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19And then we can say...
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I recognise China Girl, so, maybe...
0:38:21 > 0:38:25And I think we should also say...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Ten seconds left.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31We need another one.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Shall we just say Under Pressure
0:38:35 > 0:38:37and see if it was featured on the album?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43What are you going to give me?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK, I think we're going to go for,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48from the kind of time they were around,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51with Let's Dance, we're going to go for Modern Love.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Modern Love.- And we're going to go for China Girl.- China Girl.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57And we're also going to put in Under Pressure in there.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Under Pressure. OK. Of those three,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I think Modern Love.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07OK, Modern Love we'll put last. Which of those is least likely?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I think Under Pressure, yeah.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Kind of appropriate song title then, for this round.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Absolutely. - OK, we'll pop that up first.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Let's pop those up on the board in that order,
0:39:17 > 0:39:18and here they are.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21We've got Under Pressure, China Girl, and Modern Love.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Well, best of luck.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Your first answer was Under Pressure,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27you thought that was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I'm not sure you were entirely sure it was correct.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32No, it probably may have just been a single.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35OK, remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:39:35 > 0:39:37for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41£1,000. What would you do with your share of that, Sam?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I would absolutely put it towards a holiday. Well-deserved holiday.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Yeah.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- Neil?- I'm also going to put it towards a holiday.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52My girlfriend's always wanted to go to New York.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I think I'd put it towards that.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56OK, well, best of luck.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Your first answer, Under Pressure.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Obviously, to win that jackpot, it has to be correct,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02then it has to be pointless.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So, for £1,000, let's see how many people
0:40:04 > 0:40:07said Under Pressure was on Let's Dance.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Ooh, bad luck. Bad luck.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16An incorrect answer, which means obviously not a pointless answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19So only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Your second answer was China Girl.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25And, again, this was an album track, you're saying, from Let's Dance.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Let's see if it's correct, let's see if it's pointless, for £1,000.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31How many people said China Girl?
0:40:33 > 0:40:37It's right. Well, your first answer, Under Pressure, was incorrect.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40China Girl, however, very much on Let's Dance,
0:40:40 > 0:40:43taking us down through the teens, into 15.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:52OK, 15, not a bad score, though.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Only one chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Modern Love.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Great track from the album Let's Dance.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Let us find out, for £1,000,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07how many of our 100 people said Modern Love.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Is it pointless?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Your first answer, Under Pressure, was an incorrect answer,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18your second answer, China Girl,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20took us all the way down to 15.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Modern Love passes 15 into single figures.
0:41:23 > 0:41:256. It stops.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27APPLAUSE
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Well, Sam and Neil, unfortunately you didn't manage
0:41:32 > 0:41:35to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41But it's been great having you on the show. You've played so well.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- And you do, of course, get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very, very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48APPLAUSE
0:41:49 > 0:41:52That's unlucky, guys. It's tough when a category comes up you know -
0:41:52 > 0:41:54that 60 seconds, it drains so quickly, it really does.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Under Pressure never on a Bowie album other than on greatest hits.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- It was on a Queen album, but not a Bowie album. Would you have had any answers for any of those?- I'd have...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05For Let's Dance I'd probably... Ricochet. Cat People.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Let's have a little look as we go along, shall we?
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- OK.- So, Diamond Dogs first.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12There's only two on each of these.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family -
0:42:15 > 0:42:16can't believe you didn't say that.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Or Rock & Roll With Me, both of those are pointless,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20well done if you said either of those.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Let's take a look at Scary Monsters.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27Because You're Young would've been a pointless answer, Scream Like A Baby would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29The biggest scorers there - Ashes To Ashes and Fashion.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31And let's take a look at Let's Dance.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Ricochet.- There we go.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35APPLAUSE
0:42:36 > 0:42:37And Criminal World as well.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Ricochet's the first track on side two,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42for those of us old enough to remember what that actually means.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Very well played.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Very well played at home if you got any of those,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- and unlucky in the studio. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Sam and Neil,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thank you both so much for playing. Sam and Neil.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, sadly, Sam and Neil didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02which means it rolls over onto our next show,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
