APPLAUSE | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show where | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
-And couple number one. -Hello, Alexander. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
My name is Gail, this is my good friend Russell, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
-and we're both from Nottingham. -Couple number two. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Hi, I'm Leanne, this is my brother Adam, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
-and we're from Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. -Couple number three. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Hello, I'm Gemma, and this is my boyfriend Mark, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
-and we're from Birmingham. -And finally, couple number four. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi, I'm Dan, this is my wife, Nina, and we're from Bristol. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
And these are today's contestants. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Thanks very much to all of you. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
You want the truth? Well, he CAN handle the truth. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Hiya. Hi, everybody. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
-Good afternoon to you. -And to you. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
Four shows out of five now we've given away the jackpot. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
It's such a run. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
Our lovely Cardiff friends yesterday taking it home on a Rugby Union | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
question, of all things, coming up in that. Did very well, didn't they? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Welsh Rugby Union as well, wasn't it? Did very well, didn't they? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Got two wrong answers and then a pointless answer on the last one. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
We got two returning pairs from that show, went out in Round One | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
and Round Two. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Gemma and Mark went out in Round One, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
so we need to see more of you this time, and Leanne and Adam, who are | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
immensely competitive, but they were very unlucky in the second round. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
Leanne had a question about cities with famous museums. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
She said Prague, and it wasn't in the top 100. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
I think they were unlucky, I would say, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-so we should see more of them today. -Let's hope. Thanks, Richard. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
All our questions on Pointless have been put | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
to 100 people before the show. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
Our contestants are looking for those obscure answers that our 100 people didn't get. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
Everyone's looking for a Pointless answer, that being an | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
answer that none of our 100 people gave, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
David and Phil won the jackpot last time, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
OK, the pair with the highest | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
score at the end of the round will be eliminated, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
but remember, there is to be no conferring during the round. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is... | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Eurovision. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Russell, so happy with that(!) Can you decide in your pairs | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
who's going to go first, who's going to go second? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries that | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
participated in Eurovision 2013 as they could. Richard. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
Specifically, we're looking for any of the 26 countries who took part | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
in the grand final of the Eurovision song contest in 2013 in Malmo, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
so any of those 26 countries, please. Very, very best of luck. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Now then, Russell and Gail, you all drew lots before the show, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
and today you are going to go first. Now then. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Russell, welcome to the show. What do you do, Russell? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
I'm a lecturer in nursing, teach nurses. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
OK, and in your spare time what do you get up to? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
I've got two dogs and two teenage daughters, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
so I walk the dogs lots of places and drive the teenage | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
daughters other places, so that tends to fill most of my time. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-How do you and Gail know each other? -We were work colleagues. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
We both worked in the same school of nursing, and over a number of years, | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
we developed a shared interest in football, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
and we used to do little staff pantomimes, not just Gail | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
and I, but staff pantomimes at Christmas, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
so we kind of got to know each other well through that. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Now, in any stage in your career, have you followed Eurovision? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
It was something as a family we always sat down and watched when | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
I was younger, so something around the '60s | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-and '70s would've been good. -So not so much Malmo? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Not so much the most recent ones, so I'm going to have to throw | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
a European country out of my head and hope that they participated. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-I'm going to say Slovenia. -Slovenia, says Russell. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
Slovenia sounds fair enough. Let's see if that's right, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Oh, bad luck! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
I'm sorry, Russell, an incorrect answer, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
which means you score the maximum of 100 points. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
They didn't qualify, Slovenia, I'm afraid. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
They do semifinals now, don't they? Didn't qualify. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
But it's a proper, good obscure answer to start with, Russell. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-I take my hat off to you. -OK, thanks, Richard. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-Now then, Leanne. -Hi. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-Welcome back. What happened last time, Leanne? -I got it wrong! | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
You did! It was good wrong. It was the right kind of wrong. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-Well, I didn't go with my gut. I changed my mind. -But actually, no... | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Listen, I would've said Prague. I think Prague was a great answer. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
So this time I'm going to go with the one I thought first | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
and not the second one that's trying to take over in my head. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
-OK, what's that going to be? -Azerbaijan? -Azerbaijan. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Azerbaijan, sounds perfectly reasonable to me. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
Let's see if it's right. If so, let's see how many people said it. Azerbaijan. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
It's right! Very well done, Leanne. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-Ooh! -Nine! | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
That's a great answer. Very well done. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Yes, Azerbaijan came second, which arguably is the best place to | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
finish, cos you've done very well but you don't have to host it. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
Their record, actually, is extraordinary. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Since they've joined they've never been lower than eighth. Impressive. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
If you're ever looking for an each way | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
bet on the Eurovision Song Contest, Azerbaijan. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
If you're ever looking for a band for a function, Azerbaijan. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
What a place to turn up. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
They know what they're doing, don't they? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-They certainly do. They certainly do, Richard. Now then, Gemma. -Hello. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-Gemma, welcome back. -Thank you. -And it was Round One last time. -Yes. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
Round One, and that was our musicals round. Yeah, that's right. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
Mark gave us Fiddler On The Roof, an incorrect answer. Anyway, listen. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-Gemma, what do you do? -I'm a physiotherapist. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
You see, cos I have got this recurring problem with my hip. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-What do you think it is, Gemma? -Er... Definitely broken. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
You think? You think I'm joking. I'm really not. I'm in some pain here. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-Sit down and swap roles. -You see, that's what it is. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
-Deep tissue massage. -Do you want to sit down for a second? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-Nah, I'm all right. -You sure? I'll take over, I'll do this bit. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-You're all right, you're all right. -You sure? All right. -Anyway, listen. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
I'll stop all this banging on, but I'll be onto you if it twinges. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-Gemma. -Yes. -Eurovision. -Yes. -Do you watch it? -No. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
Because we already had a wrong answer, I'm going | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
to go with one that's hopefully relatively more safe and say Sweden. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
Sweden, says Gemma. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Let's see if that's right, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sweden. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
Ooh, there we are. 59. 59 for Sweden. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Yeah, they were the hosts, of course, Sweden, in Malmo. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-Robin Stjernberg came 14th. -Robin Stjernberg. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
-Yeah. -What did he sing? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-You. -You? -Yeah. -An ode to the vowel. -It was indeed, yeah. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:33 | |
It was part of a suite of songs, 26 songs. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
He essentially does the alphabet. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Yeah. That's nice. That's good. Nina. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Nina, welcome to the show. -Thank you. -What do you do, Nina? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-I work in IT outsourcing for a large American company. -OK. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
-And where do you do that outsourcing from? -From home. -From home? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
Very nice. Nice place to be outsourcing. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-And what do you do in your spare time? -I like to keep fit. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
I like to run, I like to swing kettle bells about, and... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
ALEXANDER LAUGHS | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Just glad you got to the kettle bells there. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
-Could have gone anywhere. -Could have gone anywhere, that one. Erm... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
Nina, do you watch Eurovision? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
I seem to have something going round in my head, which is probably | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-completely wrong, about some kind of amusing song from Russia. -Russia. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:23 | |
OK, let's see if that's right. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Russia. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
It's right. 59 is our highest right answer. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
38. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
38 for Russia. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Yeah, Dina Garipova came fifth with a very amusing | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
song about the failure of the Russian potato harvest. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
-That's funny before I've even heard it. -Yeah. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-It wasn't really about that. It was called What If. -Thank you very much. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
So, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Nine, the best score of that pass. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Very well done to you, Leanne, puts you | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
and Adam at the top of the grid at this stage. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Then on to 30, where we find Nina and Dan. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
59, Gemma and Mark, then Russell and Gail, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
languishing at the top of the board, if I can say that, on 100. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
So, Gail, you'll go last. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
But you've got a little bit of time to think of a really good | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
obscure Eurovision participant, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
so very best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
OK, Dan, we are looking for any country that | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
participated in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
Dan, welcome to the show. What do you do? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
I'm also in the employ of a large American IT company, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
-working in IT outsourcing. -Do you do that from home as well? -I do, yeah. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-That's convenient, isn't it? -Home life is so interesting these days. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
So your commute is all of about 15 steps. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-It is from the bedroom to the office, yeah. -Oh, how nice. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Did you and Nina meet at work? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Surprisingly enough, we did. Many moons ago. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
I'm guessing this is before you worked from home. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-That would've been weird. -That would've been quite strange. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
How nice! That's fantastic. Do you actually get a lot of work done? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
We do, we do. People say you've got to be very dedicated, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
but I find if you just stop work then people tend to notice, so | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
we carry on and still in employment, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
so it seems to work well. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-It seems to be working. -It does indeed. -What are your hobbies, Dan? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
I do karate. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
I'm a student of karate and have been for a number of years now. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-Are you, whatever, the best "Dan" you can be? -No, no. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
-They tend to be older folk, the very dan. -Oh, really? -They do, yes. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-But you're quite high up. -I'm midpoint, shall we say? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
But everybody's still learning, you know. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
There's a lot to learn and you carry on learning right the way through. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
OK. Very good. Just for fun, what are you, what is your rank? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
I'm a second dan black belt. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Second dan black belt. Right. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-And called Dan as well, which is nice. -Dan dan. -Dan dan. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
So that counts as third dan. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
It would be, yeah, if said in a row, yeah. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Now then, Dan, there you are. You're on 38. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
The high scorers are Russell and Gail on 100, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
so 61 or less keeps you from becoming the new high scorers. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
OK, looking back | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
and trying to visualise the boards where we have the results shown, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
and the ladies or gentlemen who come up and speak, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
Malta resonates with me from somewhere deep inside, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-so I'm hoping... Yeah, Malta. -Malta. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
There is your red line. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
If you get below that with Malta, you are through to Round Two. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Malta. Is it right? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
It is right. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Through you go. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
23. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
61, your total, Dan. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Well, played, Dan, yeah, Malta. La Malta. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
They came eighth with Tomorrow. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
So, that's a real achievement. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
There are only about 17 people on Malta as well. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
-Coming eighth is like winning, essentially. -That's not bad. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-Thanks very much. Now then, Mark. -Hello. -Welcome back. -Thank you. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-Remind us, what do you do, Mark? -I'm a civil servant. -Exactly right. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
Neatly sidestep around that. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Remind us what you get up to when you're not being a civil servant. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
I play a lot of football, support Birmingham City, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-so probably best not to talk about that, to be honest. -OK. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
Let's skirt around that. How did you and Gemma meet, Mark? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
We met randomly on a night out in Birmingham. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
I was out for a friend's birthday, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Gemma was out with some of her friends from work, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
-got chatting and the rest is history, as they say. -Awww. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
-So, you ignored your friend on his birthday? -Yeah. -Off you went. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
Good. Now then, Mark. There you are. 59. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
High scorers, Gail and Russell, still on 100. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
What are you going to go for? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
I've got several answers kind of buzzing round my head. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
Whether they're all definitely in that year's Eurovision, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:12:58 | 0:12:59 | |
So I'm going to plump for Israel. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-Israel. -I believe they've done well in the past. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
There's your red line. Get below that, you are through to Round Two. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Let's see if Israel's right. Let's see how many people said it. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
Oh, no! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Oh, Mark. I'm so sorry. Israel an incorrect answer. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Scores you the maximum of 100 points. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
159, your score. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Sorry, Mark. Yeah, they were partying with the Slovenians on the night | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
of Eurovision, I'm afraid. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Got knocked out in the semis. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Good news for Gail. -It is good news for Gail. Now, Adam. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
-Hello. -Good news for you two as well. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
You are straight through to the next round, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-even if you score 100 points which I know you won't. -Hopefully not. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
Who knows, there may even be some nul points on this round. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-There may be. -I'll try my best. -There might be. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
So, Adam, remind us what you do. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
I'm a shop assistant at a DIY store. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-That's right. And you work across the floor. -I do, yes. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-You know everything. -Various departments. -You are pan-DIY. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
Very good. Are you good at putting flat-pack furniture together? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Yes, that's one of my strengths. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Now then, Adam, there you are on 9. As I say, you're already through. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
But still, let's have an answer from you. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:09 | |
Let's see if you can find a nice low score. Leanne did so well. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
I'll try and go for an obscure one. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-Estonia. -Estonia. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Estonia, says Adam. Let's see if that's right. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Let's see how many people said it. No red line as you're already through. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
9 was Leanne's score. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
15 is yours. Second lowest score of the round. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
So, very, very well done indeed to the pair of you. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-24, your total. -They came 20th, Estonia. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-They won't be happy with that, will they? -No. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
-They're usually quite handy, the Estonians. -Yeah. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Gail... -Yes. -Gail. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Oh, this has become very, very exciting indeed. Extremely exciting. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
-Gail, welcome to the show. -Thank you. -So, you met lecturing... -Yes. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
-..at the nursing college. -Yes. | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
-You no longer do that? -No. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-I retired about a year ago. -Do you miss it? -Well, I miss some...people. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
-The camaraderie. -I miss some people. -Yes, exactly. -Yeah. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Exactly. That's quite selective. "I miss SOME people." | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
-Oh, sorry! -The others, you know who you are. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:17 | 0:15:18 | |
What do you do with your retirement? | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
I volunteer with the Citizens Advice Bureau, | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-so that's one day a week... -Excellent. -..and then I enjoy life. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
Well, I enjoy life there, but I enjoy life the rest of the time. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
So, I enjoy sports, keeping fit, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
reading, cinema and it's great. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
-Very good. Well, great to have you here. -Thank you. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
You have a target of 58 or less. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Over that, we say goodbye to you. -OK. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
It's been going round in my head. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Erm, I'm going to say Cyprus. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Cyprus, says Gail. Now, do you say that as a complete stab in the dark? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:58 | |
-Or is that quite a well-informed...? -I said it cos I could pronounce it. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-Most of the others in my head, I would look a fool, I think. -OK. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
There is your red line. If you get below that, you are through | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
to Round Two. Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Cyprus. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
Oh, no! I'm sorry, Gail. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
100 points, takes your total up to 200 points. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Sorry, Gail. As you've probably worked out, as with all these | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
countries, knocked out in the semifinals, I'm afraid, Cyprus. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
There's no pointless answers at all. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Let's take a look at the best answers you could have given. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
The best answer of all was Armenia which would have scored you 4 points. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
Hungary and Georgia both would have scored you 8. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
You'd have got 9 for Lithuania, Moldova and Azerbaijan. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
12 for Belarus. 13 for Romania. Let's take a look at the top three. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
71 for Germany. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Some big scorers here, actually. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
You'd have got 76 for Ireland. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
And what do you think's top of that list? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
I was going to say the United Kingdom. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
You would think so, wouldn't you? But you'd be wrong. It's France. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-Really? -On 77. Yeah, United Kingdom would have scored you... -See, that's why we don't win. -Exactly. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-We don't even vote for ourselves. -Exactly. It's the only time | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
you're allowed to vote for the United Kingdom and you didn't. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
The United Kingdom came fifth. Can you believe it? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
65 points for the United Kingdom. It even got beaten by Spain. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-Wow. -Yep. -Sign of the times. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
At the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair we're sending home | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
with their high score of 200 is Gail and Russell. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
It's the curse of the first podium, I'm afraid. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
-And Eurovision. -And Eurovision. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
A little bit, yes. I'm sorry. That wasn't your round there. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
Mind you, it is such luck of the draw, really. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
You found two incorrect answers which means we say goodbye, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
but we will see you again next time, Gail and Russell. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
I look forward to that. Thanks very much for playing. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
we'll have to say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Leanne and Adam, our brother-sister team from Clacton-on-Sea. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
Very well done. Lovely low scoring in that first round. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
All looking very strong at this stage. Dan and Nina, very well done. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
Decent scoring from you, Gemma and Mark. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Now, Mark, we've only had two answers from you. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
We had Fiddler On The Roof last show and we had Israel this show. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-Both of them scored 100. -Consistent. -Yes. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
-Exactly. -Sidestep that as well as the job. -Yes, let's have... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
Let's have fewer consistent 100s, I think. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
So, yes, Gemma, you're doing very well. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
You are carrying Mark at this stage. But let's hope the tables can turn. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is... | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
Politicians. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
OK. And the question concerns... | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-Chancellors of the Exchequer, Richard. -Yeah, on each pass, | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
we're going to show you six descriptions of Chancellors of the Exchequer. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
You just need to tell us who the Chancellors are, please. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
There's going to be 12 in all. 12 to have a go at at home. So best of luck. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
OK. So, we are looking for these Chancellors of the Exchequer. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Here's our first board of six. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
And we've got... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
I'll read those all to you one last time. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
There we are. Six clues to six Chancellors of the Exchequer. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-Adam. -Not a great category. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
I think I know, "Served as Chancellor for more than ten years, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
"became PM in 2007." | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Gordon Brown, maybe. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
OK. You're going to say Gordon Brown. Let's see if that's right. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Let's see how many people said Gordon Brown. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
51. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
51 for Gordon Brown. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Yeah, that question is essentially, "Who became Prime Minister in 2007?" | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Half the people in Britain have forgotten already. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
I'd say, "That's show business." That's politics, isn't it? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
He was the longest continuously serving Chancellor since the 1820s, Gordon Brown. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now, Gemma. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
OK. I'm struggling a little bit. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
I'm going to take a guess at the top one | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
and say...John Major. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
John Major, says Gemma, for the top one. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said John Major. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
Well, 51 is our only score so far. You passed that. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
Look at that. 17. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
17 for John Major. And again, this question is... | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
That's Prime Minister from '90 to '97. 17 people remembered. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
He only gave one budget. That was in 1990. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
It was the first one ever to be televised. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-Oh! Have you seen the DVD of that? -It's brilliant. -The extras... | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
The outtakes are just hilarious. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
When he puts 50p on booze or something, just brilliant. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-The whole place is just cracking up. -That's hilarious. -It's so good. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
-Yeah. -Properly good. -Properly worth getting. Worth getting if you haven't seen it. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
-Nina. -Hello. -You're the last person to have this board. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-Do you think you can talk us through it? -No. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
A category I was really hoping wasn't going to come up | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
and the two that I know have already gone. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
So, I'm going to have to take a guess and say, "Chancellor | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
"during Northern Rock banking crisis of 2007," George Osborne. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
OK. George Osborne you are putting in charge in 2007. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
Bad luck, Nina. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
Scores you the maximum of 100 points. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
You'll remember him. It's Alistair Darling | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
and that would have scored you 8 points. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
He was under Gordon Brown, of course, when Gordon Brown was Prime Minister | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
and under John Major when John Major was Prime Minister. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
In office during Black Wednesday was...? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-Norman Lamont. -Norman Lamont, yeah. Would have scored you 9. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
The Chancellor from '74 to '79? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-Denis Healey. -Denis Healey, yeah. Would have scored you 2 points. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
And the Liberal? | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
-Lloyd George. -David Lloyd George, yep. Bigger scorer, that. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Would have scored you 10. So, the best answer there was Denis Healey. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through the round. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
Let's take a look at those scores as they stand. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Gemma and Mark are on 17, Adam and Leanne on 51 | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
and then up to 100 where we find Nina and Dan. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Now, Dan. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
That may not be the last 100 scored in this round, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
but what we will need from you, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
if you are to make it through to the head-to-head, is a lovely low score. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
-How do you fancy your chances? -I was going to say, it may not be | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
the last 100 scored cos I'm probably going to score another one. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-Well, you'll get first bite of the next board. -That's fortunate. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
Well, let's hope it is. We're going to come back down the line now. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
OK. Let's put six more clues up on the board. Here they come. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
We've got... | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
There we are. Six clues to six Chancellors. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
Dan, you're high scorer. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
Let's have a good low-scoring answer from you. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
I don't know about low scoring, but one of those has made me quite happy | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
as essentially I was going to say it regardless of the actual clue. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
So, I'm going to say, for the father of Nigella, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
-Nigel Lawson. -Nigel Lawson, says Dan. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Nigel Lawson. No red line for you. You're the high scorers. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
But let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Lawson. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
It's right. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
48. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
148. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:13 | |
For now, you are JUST still in the game. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Being Nigella's dad scores you roughly the same as becoming | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
Prime Minister in 2007. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Thanks so much, Richard. Now then, Mark. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
You are into the head-to-head, even if you score 100 points. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
This is good news. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
I'm starting to think someone doesn't like me. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
This is another bad round. Er... | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
Can't even think of who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
from May, 2010. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
-George Osborne. -OK. -Pretty sure that's wrong. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
You're going to go for George Osborne. A bit of a punt | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, youngest since 1886. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
No red line for you. You're already through. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
But let's see how many of our 100 people said George Osborne. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
It's right. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
34. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:12 | 0:26:13 | |
34 takes your total up to 51, but you were already through. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
Yeah, there he was, hiding away. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
There's never been a female Chancellor of the Exchequer. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
It's about time. Thanks very much. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Now, 51, Leanne and Adam, that is your score. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
The high-scorers are Dan and Nina on 148. If you can score 96 or less... | 0:26:31 | 0:26:37 | |
you're in the head-to-head. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
Really bad. Erm... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
I'll take a guess. I don't even know if it's the right party... | 0:26:42 | 0:26:48 | |
David Cameron, I don't know. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
The first one. That's really wrong, I know. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
OK, well, here comes your red line. It's nice and high. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
You just have to be right. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
David Cameron for that top one. Let's see if that's right. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Let's see how many people said it. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 151. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
Sees Dan and Nina into the head-to-head. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
-He is a Tory, though. So that's good. -Oh, OK. -Yeah, he is. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
You know he's a Tory, right? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
He's our current Prime Minister. Yeah, it's... The jazz fan was...? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
-Ken Clarke. -Yeah, would have scored you 10 points. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Do you know Thatcher's first Chancellor? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
Geoffrey Howe. I was going to say Leon Brittan, but not... | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
He had that enormous hollow hair, which looked like he had | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
something nesting in it. Would have scored you 5 points. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
These other two are a bit tougher. The longest-ever budget speech... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
It's Gladstone. Would have scored you 3. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
And the best answer on the board, a terrific answer... | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
Philip Snowden. 1 point. Very well played if you got that. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
At the end of our second round, I'm sorry to say it's Leanne | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
and Adam who we have to send home. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
A high score of 151. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
No-one likes politics rounds, I know. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
But this is where we have to say goodbye, I'm sorry. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
But it's been great having you on both shows. Thanks so much | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
for playing. Leanne and Adam. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
For the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
Congratulations, Dan and Nina, Gemma and Mark, you're now one step closer | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
to the final, and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
which currently stands at £1,000. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
You are now allowed to confer before you give your answers. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
That's good, that gets us back on solid ground. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
We're going to give you five visual clues now to names | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
of Michael Jackson UK top 40 singles. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
Can you work out what singles we're referring to here? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
We're going to give you the years they were hits as well. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they come. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
I think that's my favourite. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
Dan and Nina, you played best throughout the show so far, | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
so you will go first. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
We're going to say A. Going for 1983. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:02 | |
And Beat It. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
Beat It, say Dan and Nina. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
Gemma and Mark, the rest of the board is yours. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
-That's the only... -That's the only one we knew. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
Er... | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
I can think of some Michael Jackson songs | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
but whether they relate to those pictures...no idea. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
-Do you know who she is? -No. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Is it somebody who writes books and writes thriller books, maybe? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
Oh, yeah, maybe. We'll guess that then. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
We'll guess that E might be an author who writes thriller books | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
of some sort, and Thriller. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
OK, you're going to say Thriller. OK. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
-No idea who it is. -E, Thriller. We have A, Beat It, and E, Thriller. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:44 | |
Dan and Nina said Beat It. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
It's right. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:52 | |
29. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
Now then, Gemma and Mark have said E is Thriller. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
Let's see if that's right | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Thriller. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
Oh, I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means, Dan and Nina, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:20 | |
-you're up 1-0. -Not a thriller writer, a tennis player. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
-And her name is... -Billie Jean. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Billie Jean King, that is. So Billie Jean was the answer there. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
Would have scored you 26 points. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
D is the biggest scorer of all. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
Now, C, I think you know roughly. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
And the best answer on the board, it really depends on knowing that flag. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
If you think through Michael Jackson's songs you can | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
work it out the one that has a country in it. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
But if you know that's the flag of Liberia... | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
Terrific answer if you got that at home. That's very well played. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
Thanks very much. OK, here comes your second question. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
Gemma and Mark, you have to win this one to stay in the game. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
Best of luck. It concerns... | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
We're going to give you five names of squares on the Monopoly board | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
but all we're going to show you is the number of letters | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
in each word of that square. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
Can you work out what these clues refer to, please? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
OK, let's reveal our five names, and here they come. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
Gemma and Mark will go first. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
Yeah, OK. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
The second one - 3, 4, 4 - Old Kent Road. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:06 | |
Old Kent Road, say Gemma and Mark. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
Dan and Nina, can you talk us through the rest of the board? | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
Partly. We'd got Old Kent Road, which was going to be our stab. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
2, 2, 4 - Go To Jail. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
The bottom one we think is Mayfair. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
I think we're going to go for...Mayfair. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
OK, Mayfair say Dan and Nina. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
We have Old Kent Road versus Mayfair. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
Gemma and Mark say Old Kent Road. Let's see if that's right | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
It's right. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:42 | |
40. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
Now then, Dan and Nina have gone for Mayfair. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
Mayfair beats Old Kent Road on a Monopoly board, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
will it on Pointless? Let's find out. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
Yes, it will. Look at that - 35. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:10 | |
Very well done indeed. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
Dan and Nina, you're straight through to the final, 2-0. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
Well played. The most expensive and the least expensive squares | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
on the board. Go To Jail would have been a much better answer | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
cos it would have scored you 13 points. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
So that would have been a very good one. Now, 4, 7... | 0:34:23 | 0:34:27 | |
-Free parking. -Yeah, which would have scored you 2. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
The top one is a pointless answer | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
and it's Electric Company. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
-Very well done if you said that at home. -Thank you. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:39 | |
So, at the end of our head-to-head, we say goodbye to Gemma and Mark. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
Well, you've played pretty well up to this point. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
I'm afraid this round, though, you were up against Dan and Nina, | 0:34:46 | 0:34:50 | |
who just managed to get better answers than you. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye, but it's been great | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing. Gemma and Mark. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
For Dan and Nina it's now time for our Pointless Final. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
Congratulations, Dan and Nina, you've fought off | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
We've thrown Eurovision at you, we've thrown Chancellors at you, | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
we've thrown Michael Jackson songs at you and Monopoly. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:33 | |
And here you are. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
You get to choose your category, and you have four options. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:40 | |
Best of luck. Your four options are... | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
Mercury Prize may be a potential, in terms of it's broad enough | 0:35:52 | 0:35:57 | |
to maybe kind of hide our abject ignorance. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
I think it's got to be the Mercury Prize, please. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
OK, Mercury Prize it is. Richard. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
OK, very best of luck. We'll give you three options here. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
We're looking for the name of any album | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
that has ever won the Mercury Prize. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
We're looking for any artist or band who were nominated in 2013. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:21 | |
Or we are looking for any female solo nominees, | 0:36:21 | 0:36:25 | |
so any female solo artist who's ever been nominated for the Mercury Award. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
So, any album that's ever won, | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
any artist or act who were nominated in 2013, or any female solo nominee | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
throughout the whole history of the Mercury Prize. Very best of luck. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
OK, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers, | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
and to win that jackpot all you have to do is find one pointless answer. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
The answers you provide can come from any of these categories | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
and how you spread them across the categories is entirely down to you. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
It could be one from each, two from one, one from another. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
Entirely up to you. Are you ready? | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
-Yes. -OK, let's put 60 seconds on the board. Your time starts now. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:03 | |
-Any ideas? -I think we should concentrate on a particular one, | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
-so I'm going to go Female Solo Nominees. -I can think of one | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
and that's that Speech woman who was on the MasterChef programme. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
-On Celebrity MasterChef. -No... -Pretty sure she was a nominee. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
-Did she have a name? -Speech. -Oh, right, OK. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
So, let's key that in. Do we know when it started? | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
-No. -So, we're looking further back in terms of, you know, | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
people like Debbie Harry, Madonna, Cher. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
-Is that, you know...? -I don't know. I'm pretty sure Elbow won it | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
-but I don't know what their album's called. -OK. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
Is there anything else in the other two | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
that you're particularly keen on? Nominees. Who's current? | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
Emeli Sande, that kind of thing. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
-I think it's more obscure than that. -Is it? OK. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
We can go for that as maybe a Female Solo Nominee. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:50 | |
-OK. Happy with that. -Ten seconds left. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-Who's the other one? -It's going to be too popular. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
-OK, it's something, then. -Let's go for... | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
someone who is really good, like Tanita Tikaram. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers, | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
and if you say which categories they are answering, that would be great. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
-OK, so Female Solo Nominees, I think is all three. -Yeah. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:15 | |
-We're going to go for the well-known Tanita Tikaram. -Tanita Tikaram. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:21 | |
-We're going to go for Emeli Sande. -Emeli Sande. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
-And we're going to go for Speech. -Speech. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
-Yes. -Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:31 | |
I'd like to say Tanita Tikaram but I think it's probably Speech. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
Speech, we'll put last. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:36 | |
Which is your least likely to be pointless? | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
I think I'd like to say Tanita Tikaram. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
OK, and Emeli Sande in the middle. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, | 0:38:44 | 0:38:47 | |
and here they are. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:48 | |
OK, your first answer was Tanita Tikaram. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
You were...not entirely confident this was going to be... | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
I'm going to be so pleased if it's right. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
Remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless for you to win | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
that jackpot of £1,000. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:08 | |
It's a sort of starter-level jackpot there | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
but still nice to go home with. What would you do with that? | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
I think our little boy, Edward, would enjoy a spree at the toy shop. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:19 | |
-Nina? -Maybe a little holiday. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
-Have to be a very little holiday. -Yeah. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
Well, best of luck. Tanita Tikaram. Obviously it has to be correct. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
If it is, and it is pointless, you will win the jackpot. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
Let's see how many people said Tanita Tikaram has been | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
a Female Sole Nominee at the Mercury Awards. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:39 | |
-No great surprise. -An incorrect answer. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
Not a pointless answer. So only two more shots at today's jackpot. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
Your next answer was Emeli Sande, again in the category of | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
Best Female Soloist for the Mercury Prize. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
It has to be correct then it has to be pointless for you to win | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
the jackpot. So, for £1,000, | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
let's see how many people said Emeli Sande. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
No, bad luck. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:07 | |
Two from two. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
Only one more chance. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:10 | |
Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
which is Speech. "That Speech woman." | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
That's what you said. "That Speech person from Celebrity MasterChef." | 0:40:16 | 0:40:21 | |
OK, now to win the jackpot, | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
this has to be correct. It has to be pointless. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
For £1,000, let's see how many of our 100 people named Speech | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
as a Female Nominee for the Mercury Prize. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
Oh, no. I'm sorry. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
Three perfectly good answers. But I'm afraid three incorrect answers. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer, | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
which means you don't win today's jackpot. That will roll over | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
on to the next show. But we've really enjoyed having you | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
on the show, and you played fantastically well. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |
And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
That's an unlucky 300 as well cos all of those were good punts. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
They're all slightly wrong - Tanita Tikaram had a couple | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
of big hits with Good Tradition and Twist In My Sobriety | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
but it's after her time. She was in the '80s. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
It started a bit later than that. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:14 | |
But I suspect she would have been nominated at the time. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Emeli Sande just hasn't been nominated. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
And I can't accept Speech cos she was always credited as Speech Debelle. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:24 | |
Would have you scored you 1 point if you had said Speech Debelle. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:28 | |
She actually won it with Speech Therapy, | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
which also would have scored 1 point. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
Albums which have won the Mercury Award. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
Different Class by Pulp would have been a pointless answer. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand. Let England Shake by PJ Harvey. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
Her other album also would have been a pointless answer. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
Arctic Monkeys, Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
You knew that Elbow had won it. It's The Seldom Seen Kid. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
That would have been pointless. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
Other pointless answers - Myths Of The Near Future by the Klaxons. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
Dummy by Portishead. XX by The XX. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
All of those were pointless answers as well. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
Let's take a look at 2013 Nominees. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
The brilliant Jon Hopkins, that's an album well worth getting, | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
and Savages, they were the only pointless answers on that. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
David Bowie was the biggest scorer on that category. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
And Female Nominees. You could have had... | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
There's quite a few others on the list. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
Bat for Lashes, Beth Orton would have been pointless. Estelle. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:27 | |
Kathryn Williams. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
You could have had Kate Rusby, MIA. All sorts of pointless answers. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Very well done if you said any of those. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
Really unlucky to get three 100s there. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
It's not representative of the answers, in my opinion. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
but it's been great having you on the show. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
Thank you both so much for playing. Dan and Nina. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
Well, Dan and Nina didn't win our jackpot today, which means | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
it rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:56 | |
AUDIENCE: Whoo! | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win it. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
And it's goodbye from me, goodbye. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 |
