0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:24Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show where

0:00:24 > 0:00:28obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Couple number one.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, my name's Adrian and this is my daughter Rebecca

0:00:38 > 0:00:41and we come from Northallerton in North Yorkshire.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Couple number two. - Hi. My name's Adam.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm from Great Grimsby and this is my manager Chris.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Couple number three. - Hi. My name's Andrew.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52This is my father, Tony, and we come from Bath.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Emma, this is Simon, and we're here today from York.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you. We'll get to know more about you throughout the show.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06That leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11Like a box of chocolates, he offers great variety in extremely small and unsatisfying portions.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hiya.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22That doesn't work though. Little chocolates are lovely.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25I know, but sometimes you wish for a bit more. That's a good thing.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28That's why you have lots of them in a box.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Still not enough.- Buy two boxes. - Yes...not enough.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Buy three boxes.- That's too many. - LAUGHTER

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Buy three boxes and throw away half of the third box.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- That's just about enough.- There we go.- OK, well done.- Easily done.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45Emma and Simon are back. They got all the way through to the head-to-head last time,

0:01:45 > 0:01:48so they're going to be tough competition.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Andrew and Tony were unfortunate to get knocked out in the second round.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53They're going to be good as well. Adam's come on with his boss!

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Must never do that. I know it's too late to say that now.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I don't know if it is his boss, it's just his manager. Maybe in life.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Maybe it's just like a life coach. - Like a mentor.- A mentor.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05His manager. In the way that you're my manager.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- I take you pretty much everywhere. - RICHARD LAUGHS

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yeah, if you like. Why not? LAUGHTER

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Round One today is going to be lots of fun.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19That's our light relief, Round One. Round Two is going to be carnage.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22LAUGHTER I'll tell you that now.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- OK.- So, Round One, enjoy it while you can.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28And if you get knocked out in Round One, honestly, just be thankful.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Thanks very much. We put all our questions on Pointless to 100 people before the show.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35The aim of the game is to find a pointless answer -

0:02:35 > 0:02:38an answer that none of our 100 people gave

0:02:38 > 0:02:41and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Niall and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we add another £1,000 to that,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49so today's jackpot starts off at £3,250.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:52 > 0:02:57- If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE

0:02:57 > 0:03:02The pair with the highest score at the end of this round will be eliminated and, remember, there is

0:03:02 > 0:03:06to be no conferring during the round itself.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Our first category today is:

0:03:09 > 0:03:14Words. Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23OK, and the question concerns:

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Cockney rhyming slang. Richard. - On each board, we're going to show you seven examples of Cockney

0:03:32 > 0:03:36rhyming slang. Tell us what they're Cockney rhyming slag for.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40The more obscure your answer, the fewer points you're going to score.

0:03:40 > 0:03:4314 bits of Cockney rhyming slang to decipher at home. Best of luck.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48Thanks. So, let's start with our first board of seven items of Cockney rhyming slang.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I don't know how to say that better than that! Here they are.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'll read those one last time.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Now then. Adrian and Rebecca, you all drew lots before the show

0:04:11 > 0:04:15and you are going to go first. Adrian, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Good to have you here from Northallerton. What do you do?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'm a Church of England priest

0:04:19 > 0:04:23and my current job is working as chaplain to Durham Constabulary.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Do you lead them in prayer at the beginning of...?

0:04:26 > 0:04:31They're far too busy for all the religion sort of stuff. I just let them get on with it.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36- OK. Now, then. Adrian.- Yes. Cockney rhyming slang.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Yeah, they don't talk like this up in County Durham.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44But I think Dicky Dirt is shirt.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47OK. Dicky Dirt, shirt, says Adrian. Let's see if that's right

0:04:47 > 0:04:50and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said shirt.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54It's right.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01- 28. - APPLAUSE

0:05:01 > 0:05:0328 for shirt.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08Well played, Adrian. Good start to the show. Nice Dicky.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Thank you very much, Rich! - LAUGHTER

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Now, Chris. Welcome to the show. The manager. Chris the manager.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- What do you manage Adam in? - A mobile phone shop.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Right.- So, technology.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Technology. Where's your shop? - In Grimsby.- So, Adam works for you.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- How long's he been working there? - About a year now.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Is he doing all right? - He can do better, let's say that. - LAUGHTER

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- So, basically, he needs to pull his socks up?- Yeah, only up to there.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39OK, fair enough. That's good. Chris, how did you meet?

0:05:39 > 0:05:44It's quite funny really cos Adam came in the shop and I sold him

0:05:44 > 0:05:46a phone and I was talking about a charity skydive,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49making conversation basically, and he was like,

0:05:49 > 0:05:52"I'd love to do a skydive," so I said, "Do it.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56"Join us," and yeah, he signed up and when we did the skydive,

0:05:56 > 0:06:00I got on really well with him and he said, "If any jobs come up, let us know,"

0:06:00 > 0:06:04and I told him a job had come up, he applied for it and did really well.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Good stuff. Very good. Now, then. Chris.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10We are looking for the meanings of these Cockney rhyming slang phrases.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13What do you make of these?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Not great, obviously being very up north.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I know one of them through my work.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Because working in retail, you get a few thieves.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24So the tea leaf, I believe, is a thief.

0:06:24 > 0:06:30Tea leaf, thief, says Chris. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said thief.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's right.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Ooh, 70! - APPLAUSE

0:06:38 > 0:06:4070 for thief.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44That's a big score, isn't it? I wonder what a tea leaf thief scored.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Cos presumably people must steal tea leaves.- It must happen.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I have to say, I know people are saying it's hard cos we're

0:06:50 > 0:06:53from up north, but even in London, people don't really talk like this.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- LAUGHTER - That's true.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59It's not like you're walking down the street and people say, "Oi, you tea leaf!"

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- LAUGHTER - Actually, where I'm from, they do.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04LAUGHTER

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Thanks, Richard. Now then, Andrew, welcome back.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11You work in the engineering... What do you call it?

0:07:11 > 0:07:16- Environmental engineering...- Yeah. - ..game. That's the game you're in!

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Tell us what that really means.

0:07:18 > 0:07:24Companies come to us with airborne fume and dust problems

0:07:24 > 0:07:27and we send a team in to fix it.

0:07:27 > 0:07:33Now, Andrew. Today, we're focusing on Cockney rhyming slang.

0:07:33 > 0:07:40I have no idea. I will go with frog and toad, as in road.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's the one I'd have gone for.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Let's see, though. Frog and toad, is it road?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48And if it is, how many people said road?

0:07:48 > 0:07:52It's right. Well done. 70, our high score. You pass that.

0:07:52 > 0:07:5428 is our low score. You don't get down to that.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58APPLAUSE

0:07:59 > 0:08:04Yeah, one of the banks in East London very briefly decided to you

0:08:04 > 0:08:08could use Cockney as one of the options on their cash machines.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10They asked you to enter your Huckleberry Finn.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And then asked you how much sausage and mash you wanted.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18- It was only for a little trial, but...- Did it not take on?

0:08:18 > 0:08:23- No, weirdly, it didn't. Huckleberry Finn is quite good though.- Yeah.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Thanks very much indeed. Now, Emma. Welcome back.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Last time, head-to-head.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Not just head-to-head, but the lowest scoring pair

0:08:33 > 0:08:36throughout the whole game, until the head-to-head.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Mm.- So, Emma, what do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?

0:08:41 > 0:08:42I love movies.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45And I read a lot of biographies and I love music,

0:08:45 > 0:08:48especially heavy rock music.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50And that's really what I spend my time doing.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Good stuff. So, listen. You're the last person to have this board.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Do you fancy talking us through it and having a guess at some of them?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00I grew up on the Sweeney and Minder on TV.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03And they're not helping me out very much. I'll try.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think skin and blister is sister.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11- OK.- I think bricks and mortar...is daughter.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I think bowl of fruit is suit.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17And I think daisy roots is boots.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20So I will go for skin and blister, sister.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23OK, skin and blister, sister, says Emma.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's right.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- 47. - APPLAUSE

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Not bad. Not bad.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Not bad, could have been better though.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43You took us through the board. You got every single one right.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Bricks and mortar is daughter. Would have been a much better answer. Would have scored you 10 points.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Ho-ho!- Bowl of fruit is suit.- Also would have been a better answer.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53That would have scored you 13.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- And daisy roots are boots.- You see? Here's the thing.

0:09:56 > 0:09:5759 points for boots.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Here's my thing. My thing with rhyming slang.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Daisy roots is longer than boots.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Well, obviously that, but also - daisy roots?

0:10:04 > 0:10:09Why not go for tree roots? I've never really heard of the root of the daisy particularly

0:10:09 > 0:10:14being a standout feature! Tree roots, on the other hand, I've tripped over plenty of those!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I've tried to pull a few trees out and been thwarted by the roots.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- It's hard pulling a tree out.- Well, not for you.- Even for me.- Really?

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- It's quite hard.- I've seen you in a rage. I have seen you! Rarrgh!

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I do get angry, don't I? - You certainly do.- I was angry at that garden centre, that time.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yeah. That bay tree didn't stand a chance!

0:10:32 > 0:10:35That ruined a lot of people's Christmases, didn't it?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- No... I think that's all right.- Thanks, Richard.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43Let's take a look at those scores. Now, the best score of that pass, very well done to you, Adrian, 28.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46That puts you and Rebecca in a strong position at this stage.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Up to 44, where we find Andrew and Tony.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Up to 47, where we find Emma and Simon.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Then up to 70, Chris and Adam. We're going to come back down the line.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:57 > 0:11:01We're going to put seven more Cockney rhyming slang phrases

0:11:01 > 0:11:04up on the board and here they come:

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'll read those all one last time.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25Remember, we are looking for the meanings of these phrases and, Simon, you're going

0:11:25 > 0:11:28to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Simon, welcome back.- Thank you.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36- Remind us what you do, Simon.- I work in a school in the city of York.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- That's right. Running IT. - That's correct.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Everything from desktops to laptops to the latest technology, which is obviously tablets.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47We're currently rolling out tablet technology to all our year

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- groups at the school. - Now, Simon. There you are on 47.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Our high scorers on 70 are Chris and Adam.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56So, 22 or less keeps you from becoming the new high scorers.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00I'm...really... This isn't looking particularly good at all.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm really going to have to take a wild stab in the dark

0:12:03 > 0:12:06and go for bread and honey, and guess that it's money.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Bread and honey, money, says Simon. There's your red line.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12If you can get below that with money, you are through to Round Two.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said money.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's right.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Ooh, that's a high score! Look at that, Simon!

0:12:21 > 0:12:25- APPLAUSE - 86 takes your total up to 133.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Yeah, our 100 found this rather easier, didn't they?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Can also be bees and honey, or sugar and honey. Both mean money.- Yeah.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Bees have a better sense of smell than sniffer dogs.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Yes, I read that. - Interesting, isn't it?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41- They were hoping to train bees to find...- Sniffer bees.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah. Sniffer bees.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44That would be scary.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Anyway, thank you. Um... Now, then.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Tony, welcome back.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Now, Tony.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56You set up your wonderful air duct company,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59which has now been requisitioned by your three sons

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and turned into some environmental engineering...device...

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- International! - International!- Oh, yes.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10How much time do you spend worrying? How many nights do you lie awake thinking,

0:13:10 > 0:13:15- "Oh, what have I done, dear God?" - Zero.- Really? You're happy? It's in good hands.- I'm totally relaxed.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20I don't... I've no interest in sort of hanging on and... No.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Good.- I take an interest, but I don't worry.- Very good.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Now, then. Tony, there you are on 44.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30The high scorers now Simon and Emma on 133.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32So, 88 or less sees you through.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36OK.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK, the Duke of Kent, rent.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Duke of Kent, rent.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Duke of Kent, rent, says Tony. There is your red line.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47If you get below that with rent, you are through to the next round.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55It's right and there you are, through to Round Two.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Very well done, Tony.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00- 13. - APPLAUSE

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Takes your total up to 57.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Well played, Tony. Scores a nice baker's dozen. Duke of Kent, rent.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Adam.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Ooh, you were the high scorers. No longer the high scorers.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Adam, I salute you. - Thank you very much.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23The way you spring to something when an opportunity comes, you just leap.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- I'm very opportunistic. - Which you must have found very helpful as you were strapped

0:14:27 > 0:14:31to Chris several thousand feet above terra firma.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I was actually strapped to a professional, which is

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- very thankful...- Even as I said that...- If I was strapped to Chris,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41- things could have gone majorly wrong.- It would be good if they strapped the two of you together

0:14:41 > 0:14:44and there were two instructors strapped to each other.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Halfway down, everyone started looking at each other, going... LAUGHTER

0:14:48 > 0:14:52- One lot would have been looking. The other lot going like that! - LAUGHTER

0:14:52 > 0:14:56So, Adam. There you are. You're on 70. 133, the high score,

0:14:56 > 0:15:00over there on the far podium. So 62 or less will see you through.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01How are we feeling about this?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yeah, it is a bit of a predicament for me

0:15:03 > 0:15:06because there's plenty that I could go for.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08However, I feel like I'm safe on certain ones.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11But...

0:15:11 > 0:15:15I'm going to go for baker's dozen, oven.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20Baker's dozen, oven. OK, well, there's your red line. Let's see.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Is that right - oven?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27- GROANING - Oh, bad luck, Adam.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:15:29 > 0:15:31and that takes your total to 170.

0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Yeah, sorry, Adam, that's the rhyming thing catching you out there.- Mm.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Thanks very much indeed.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Now, Rebecca, welcome, welcome.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Nice to have you here, Rebecca.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44And you're from Northallerton but you're studying down here.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I am, yes. I am at University London.- What are you studying?

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- International relations.- And what year are you in?- I've just started.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Well, I'm halfway through my second year now.- OK.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- And what are your hobbies? - I like...

0:15:55 > 0:15:58When I go back home, I live in the Yorkshire Dales,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- so plenty of walking opportunities. - Lovely.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03And I play piano as well in my spare time.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Wonderful. Now, there you are. You're through to the next round, this is the good news.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08That is a relief!

0:16:08 > 0:16:11One of the advantages of being on that first podium sometimes.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14But this board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?

0:16:14 > 0:16:19Erm, I can't really talk you through it because it's really alien to me.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Erm, so I am just going to have to go with guessing and rhyming...

0:16:22 > 0:16:23That's how I would do it!

0:16:23 > 0:16:27So I'm going to go tomfoolery and jewellery.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Tomfoolery, jewellery. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32OK, no red line for you as you are already through,

0:16:32 > 0:16:35but let's see how many of our 100 people said jewellery.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Absolutely right.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- That's a very good answer. - APPLAUSE

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Lovely low score there. Well done, Rebecca.

0:16:46 > 0:16:4714 takes you up to 42,

0:16:47 > 0:16:50the lowest total of the round, I might say.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Yeah, very well played, Rebecca. Very good guess.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56If you've got some "snide tom", you've got counterfeit jewellery.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Very good.- Like that "Carter" watch you tried to sell me.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00The... That was not...

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Nothing snide about that, thank you very much!

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I got it from a man in Hong Kong.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06LAUGHTER

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Erm, Barnaby Rudge, what do you think, if we're rhyming?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13I can't... I can only think of fudge.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Now I've got fudge in my brain. It wouldn't be fudge...

0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's not fudge, actually, it's judge.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Oh, it's judge. Of course it is, yeah!- Would've scored you 6 points.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Peckham Rye? I'll give you a clue - you wear it under your bowl of fruit

0:17:24 > 0:17:25and over your dickie dirt.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yeah, it's a tie!- It is a tie, yeah. That would've scored you 9.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Baker's dozen. What does that rhyme with?- Cousin.- Rhymes with cousin.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Would've scored 4 points. And almond rocks...?

0:17:35 > 0:17:36- Is socks.- It is socks, yeah.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38It was a bigger scorer, would've scored you 32.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41So, a pair of ALMOND, presumably. You wouldn't say a pair of...

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Almonds.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Well, if it's almond rocks...- Yeah.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48..you'd probably say, "I like your almond."

0:17:48 > 0:17:49No, you wouldn't.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52If you're referring to something that is pluralised, like socks,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54you would put the plural on the end of almond.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I would... You and I would differ! - I wouldn't say...

0:17:58 > 0:17:59LAUGHTER

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I wouldn't say, "I like..." "What a lovely new pair of DAISY you've got."

0:18:03 > 0:18:05I would say, "A lovely pair of daisies."

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Hang on, daisy roots?- Yeah, boots. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- LAUGHTER - Oh, yeah, sorry.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15I was thinking, "A pair of suits?!"

0:18:15 > 0:18:18You can see why it hasn't really caught on.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22At the end of our first round, I am sorry to say the pair

0:18:22 > 0:18:25we have to send home, with a high score of 170, is Adam and Chris.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I am so sorry. Well, that was a good effort.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I think it was the baker in there that made you think of ovens.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- It was indeed, yeah. - I blame the baker.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34The trouble is, as often happens on Pointless, once your brain

0:18:34 > 0:18:38starts thinking of something, like me with fudge, I just couldn't...

0:18:38 > 0:18:40You can't really think of anything else.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44My brain let me down and my mouth at that particular point, so...

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Apart from that, though, perfect! LAUGHTER

0:18:46 > 0:18:48It was spot on! Listen, we will see you again next time.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50We look forward to that very much indeed.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Adam and Chris, thanks very much.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55APPLAUSE

0:18:55 > 0:18:58But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04And so three pairs remain. At the end of this round,

0:19:04 > 0:19:07we have to say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10But, Adrian and Rebecca, on the strength of that round,

0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm thinking it may not be you.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Very, very well done. That was a great performance.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Anyway, welcome to Round Two, all three pairs.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Our category for it is...

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Film Directors. Are you happy with that, Rebecca?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Not really!- Oh, I see, not so happy. - That was a, "Oh, my goodness!"- OK.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Well, can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:19:30 > 0:19:31who's going to go second?

0:19:31 > 0:19:34And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:19:44 > 0:19:48..as they could. Hitchcock films in colour, Richard.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- This is the round I said would be trouble.- Yeah.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52We're looking for the name of any feature film

0:19:52 > 0:19:55directed by Alfred Hitchcock which is shot entirely in colour, please.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58So, any feature film made for cinema release by Alfred Hitchcock

0:19:58 > 0:19:59made entirely in colour.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02As always, no short films, TV films, documentaries, anything like that.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Very best of luck.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Thank you very much indeed.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10OK, now, Rebecca, are you a fan of film in general?

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Film, yes, but that's kind of... - Hitchcock films?

0:20:14 > 0:20:19- No, I'm more the romantic comedy type of film.- OK.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Not this.- OK. Have you seen any Hitchcock films?- No.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24- You're missing a treat there. - Am I?- Yeah.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I remember seeing something on TV once,

0:20:26 > 0:20:29which was a documentary about him.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- And I'm inclined to say Birds. - You're going to say Birds?- Yeah.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35OK, let's see if Birds is right

0:20:35 > 0:20:38and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41It's right.

0:20:43 > 0:20:4565.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47APPLAUSE

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yes, it is The Birds

0:20:51 > 0:20:53but I think it's acceptable to say Birds.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57But that's how to play Pointless. You can not have seen anything or know about the category

0:20:57 > 0:20:59but it's just taking notice of the rest of world sometimes.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02You pick up on little things and that's a lot better than 100.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03Well played.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Thanks, Richard. Andrew. - Hello.- Andrew...

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Hitchcock.- Yes.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12No.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14LAUGHTER

0:21:14 > 0:21:16I like films, but...

0:21:16 > 0:21:20I like to think that... Yeah, not my genre, so to speak.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21OK.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Erm, well, a random guess, but I'm going to go with The Shining.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30The Shining, says Andrew. The Shining. Let's see if that's right,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33let's see how many of our 100 people said The Shining.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Ooh, bad luck, Andrew. I'm afraid it is incorrect,

0:21:37 > 0:21:39scoring you the maximum of 100 points.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yes, Stanley Kubrick, I'm afraid, The Shining.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43But if you do like films, there's a number of films on the list

0:21:43 > 0:21:46you're about to see which you would absolutely love.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48An absolutely wonderful film-maker, wasn't he?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Now then, Simon.

0:21:51 > 0:21:56Not particularly a director I have watched many of his films, but...

0:21:56 > 0:21:59It's also quite difficult to sort of separate the ones

0:21:59 > 0:22:02in black-and-white from colour, but I am going to go for North By Northwest.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04North By Northwest, says Simon.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07An excellent film, Andrew and Rebecca, I commend it to you.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Let's see if it's right,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11let's see how many of our 100 people said North By Northwest.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14It's right.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19Well, it beats our previous low score.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well done, 24 for North By Northwest.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24APPLAUSE

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yeah, terrific answer, terrific film as well. Originally,

0:22:28 > 0:22:31he was going to have Cary Grant's character hide in Lincoln's nose.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33You know in the scene when they're at Mount Rushmore?

0:22:33 > 0:22:35He was going to hide in Lincoln's nose.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39But the people in charge of Mount Rushmore though it was disrespectful, so they had to cut it.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Probably for the best!- Yeah, probably.- With respect to Hitchcock.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Yeah.- Yeah.- I think so.- May not have been his best idea ever.- Maybe not.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Funny, though!- Yeah!

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Particularly if he was in green.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51LAUGHTER

0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Can you imagine?- Yeah!

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Let's take a look at the scores.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well done, Simon. Very good indeed.

0:22:59 > 0:23:0224, good low score once again, putting you and Emma

0:23:02 > 0:23:03at the top of the grid.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Then up to 65, where we find Rebecca and Adrian,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09and then up to 100, I'm afraid, Andrew and Tony.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Now, Tony, I think you might be better at this than Andrew was,

0:23:12 > 0:23:15so I'm hoping we'll have a nice low score from you.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17May be low enough to keep you in the game. Who knows?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:23:23 > 0:23:24OK, Emma,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28we're looking for any film directed by Hitchcock that is in colour.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Very happy.- Good.- Love Hitchcock.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Brilliant.- Trying to decide which one to go for.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38So I'm going to pick a favourite, which is Rope.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Rope, says Emma.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Now there is your red line.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Go below that, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Let's see if Rope is right and if it is,

0:23:47 > 0:23:48let's see how many people said it.

0:23:50 > 0:23:51It's right.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53And you are through.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00That's a great answer. Look at that, 5. Very well done indeed.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01APPLAUSE

0:24:01 > 0:24:0429 your total. That's a great low score.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Yes, an amazing film, Rope. James Stewart, of course, in it.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11It was shot in one set in real-time, essentially.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Ten different shots, cos they only had ten-minute loops of tape.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17And they just passed pillars and things, didn't they?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Yeah, fantastic. Thanks very much.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Now, Tony, you're still the high scorers on 100.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30I have no idea, but... Seems plausible.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32The Hound Of The Baskerville.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The Hound Of The Baskerville, says Tony.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK, no red line for you as you are the high scorers,

0:24:36 > 0:24:39but let's see if it's right. The Hound Of The Baskerville.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43No. Bad luck.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45That scores you 100 points,

0:24:45 > 0:24:47takes your total up to 200.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Sorry, Tony. Not a Hitchcock film.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Thanks very much indeed.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Now then, Adrian, good news -

0:24:54 > 0:24:55you are in the head-to-head.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I have a feeling you're going to have a good answer for this. - Really?- Yeah.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- You're going to be so disappointed. - I don't think I am.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Come on, Adrian.- OK.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06I have absolutely no idea.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I think I'm going to say

0:25:08 > 0:25:11For Whom the Bell Tolls.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13For Whom the Bell Tolls, says Adrian.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Let's see if that is right, let's see how many people said it.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- No red line for the nice reason that you're already through.- Good.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Bad luck, Adrian.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24An incorrect answer scores you 100 points,

0:25:24 > 0:25:26takes your total up to 165.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27But you're through.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Yeah, also you got beaten by your own daughter

0:25:29 > 0:25:31on a round about

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Alfred Hitchcock films, as well.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36But, you know. You're through anyway.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38There's only two pointless answers

0:25:38 > 0:25:40on the whole list and they are...

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Under Capricorn, from 1949,

0:25:42 > 0:25:45and The Trouble With Harry, another great film.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Other low scorers, Torn Curtain would have scored you one point,

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Topaz and Family Plot also would have scored one.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Two points for To Catch A Thief, three points for Dial M For Murder.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57You would have got six points for Frenzy, eight for Marnie,

0:25:57 > 0:25:5919 for Vertigo.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Let's take a look at the top three,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Rear Window, 20.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07North By Northwest, 24

0:26:07 > 0:26:09and The Birds, right at the top there, on 65.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Thanks very much indeed.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13At the end of our second round, the pair heading home is

0:26:13 > 0:26:16one of our returning pairs, Tony and Andrew on 200.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, I'm sorry.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19- Hitchcock did for you.- Yeah.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21How like the man.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24It was Round Two last time and Round Two this time.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27And, I'm afraid, this time it really is goodbye. I'm so sorry.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's been wonderful having you.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Thanks so much for joining us. Tony and Andrew.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33APPLAUSE

0:26:33 > 0:26:35But, for the remaining two pairs,

0:26:35 > 0:26:37it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Congratulations, Emma and Simon, Adrian and Rebecca.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to

0:26:45 > 0:26:49play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...

0:26:49 > 0:26:52AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:26:52 > 0:26:55We now have to you decide who's go to play for that money.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57To do that, you will go head-to-head.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00The big difference is, you are allowed to confer before you give your answers.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Emma and Simon, we have been here before.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Not just in this round, but standing right there.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10You were our lowest scoring pair last time

0:27:10 > 0:27:11and our lowest scoring pair this time.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14So, congratulations. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Footballers with 100 England caps.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Richard.- We'll show you five pictures now of male players

0:27:31 > 0:27:33who've got 100 caps or more for England.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Can you recognise the most obscure of these?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Thanks. Let's reveal our five footballers.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Here they come.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03There we are. Five England footballers.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Emma and Simon, you've played best throughout the show so far,

0:28:06 > 0:28:08so you will go first.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- WHISPERING:- D is Ashley Cole. - Ashley Cole?

0:28:11 > 0:28:12We play that, I think?

0:28:12 > 0:28:15You don't think A is Tom Finney, do you?

0:28:15 > 0:28:16I don't know.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17I'm not even sure E,

0:28:17 > 0:28:20whether it's Bobby Charlton or his brother.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22It's just a bad picture.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Ashley Cole, then.- I think so.- Sure.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28We're going to play D, Ashley Cole.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31D, Ashley Cole, say Emma and Simon.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32D, Ashley Cole.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Adrian and Rebecca, do you fancy talking us

0:28:34 > 0:28:36through the rest of the board?

0:28:36 > 0:28:38I think Rebecca probably won't.

0:28:38 > 0:28:39I'll have a go.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41I think A is Billy Wright,

0:28:41 > 0:28:42B is Bobby Moore,

0:28:42 > 0:28:44E is Bobby Charlton,

0:28:44 > 0:28:45D is Ashley Cole.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47But we're going to go for C,

0:28:47 > 0:28:50mainly because he played for Southampton for a while.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52And that's Peter Shilton.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55C, Peter Shilton, say Adrian and Rebecca.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57So we have Ashley Cole versus Peter Shilton.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Emma and Simon said Ashley Cole for D.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00Let's see if that is right

0:29:00 > 0:29:02and how many people said Ashley Cole.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05It's right.

0:29:08 > 0:29:1044.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12APPLAUSE

0:29:12 > 0:29:1444 for Ashley Cole.

0:29:14 > 0:29:15You're shaking your head, Emma.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- You don't think that's enough? - No.- OK.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Well, Adrian and Rebecca have gone for Peter Shilton.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22C, Peter Shilton.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Let's see if that's good enough to go below 44.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Peter Shilton, how many people said that?

0:29:30 > 0:29:32It's right.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Yes, oh, look at that.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Just. 41.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Cutting it a bit fine there, Adrian and Rebecca.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42But you've done it. Very well done indeed.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47That was very risky, given you knew Billy Wright.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49I would have thought that was a more obvious answer.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Would have scored you 20 points, Billy Wright.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54It would have seen you safely through.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Peter Shilton has actually got the most caps of any

0:29:57 > 0:29:58England male player, anyway.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00125, although that's at time of recording.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03Maybe Ashley Cole will overtake him, maybe Lampard or Gerrard,

0:30:03 > 0:30:04someone like that.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07But Rachel Yankey has got the most of any England player.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10She plays for the England women's team, she's got more than Shilton.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11B was Bobby Moore,

0:30:11 > 0:30:13biggest scorer there.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Would have scored you 52.

0:30:16 > 0:30:17And E, surprisingly low score,

0:30:17 > 0:30:20probably just cos of the quality of the photograph, really.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22It's Bobby Charlton.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23Would have scored you 37 points.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Thanks very much indeed.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Now, then, Emma and Simon, I'm getting terrible deja vu here.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32You have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Your second question, best of luck. Here it comes.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Scandinavian drama... - EMMA LAUGHS

0:30:39 > 0:30:41..is the category. Scandinavian drama.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43All your prayers are answered, Emma, aren't they?

0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Delighted.- Wonderful. Richard.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47We'll show you the titles of five shows now that have

0:30:47 > 0:30:49been shown on British TV, but came from Scandinavia.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52We've removed alternate letters from their names.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Can you fill in the gaps?

0:30:54 > 0:30:57These, of course, are the names as we see them over here.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Thanks very much indeed.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01So, let's reveal our five Scandinavian dramas with bits missing.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02And here we have...

0:31:11 > 0:31:13I will read those all again...

0:31:22 > 0:31:25There we are, five Scandinavian dramas

0:31:25 > 0:31:27with alternate letters missing.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Adrian and Rebecca, you will go first.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33- WHISPERING:- What do you think?

0:31:33 > 0:31:34- The end one, the last one is Wallander.- Yes.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36And then, to be honest,

0:31:36 > 0:31:38that's about it.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40The second one down is Borgen.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I don't know, is it?

0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Yeah.- What's the other one,

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- it must be "The" something.- The...

0:31:47 > 0:31:48You say Wallander, then?

0:31:48 > 0:31:51No, if you know the second one, we'll go for the second one.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Borgen.- Borgen.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57OK, we're going to go for the second one

0:31:57 > 0:31:59and say Borgen.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Borgen, you are saying for the second one. Borgen.

0:32:02 > 0:32:03Now then, Emma and Simon,

0:32:03 > 0:32:04the board is all yours.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06You need to win this one.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think the top one is The Killing. I think...

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Wallander is the bottom.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16That's all I know.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18So, I will go for The Killing.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21OK, you're going to go for The Killing.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23So, we have Borgen versus The Killing.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Now, Adrian and Rebecca said Borgen.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:32:29 > 0:32:30It is right, of course.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39Oh, look at that! Ten, very well done indeed!

0:32:39 > 0:32:41APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Good answer.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Now, Emma and Simon have said The Killing for the first one.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.

0:32:52 > 0:32:53It is right.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Now, to keep you in the game,

0:32:55 > 0:32:57that has to go below ten.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58It's going to be close!

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh! 13.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02APPLAUSE

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Very close indeed.

0:33:04 > 0:33:08Like your first two answers, there's only three points in it.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10But, Adrian and Rebecca, very well done to you.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13After two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16That was very close for a 2-0 victory, wasn't it?

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Think both teams knew Wallander.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20But would have scored too many points,

0:33:20 > 0:33:23would have scored you 63 points.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Now, the third one down -

0:33:24 > 0:33:25The Bridge.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Would have scored you seven points.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32And this other one, there's not many phrases in the English language

0:33:32 > 0:33:33that could fit those letters.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36So, you might be able to work it out at home, even if

0:33:36 > 0:33:37you've not seen it.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40- I've got "Those".- "Those".

0:33:40 > 0:33:42- "Who Kill".- "Who Kill". Thank you.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Those Who Kill. There we are.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46- And that's a pointless answer.- Wow.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Thank you very much indeed.

0:33:49 > 0:33:54So, at the end of our head-to-head round, Emma and Simon...

0:33:54 > 0:33:56- Deja vu.- Terrible deja vu!

0:33:56 > 0:33:59I mean, you've had two really good bites at the cherry,

0:33:59 > 0:34:02and both times you've been our lowest scorers.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'm afraid you were up against Adrian and Rebecca,

0:34:04 > 0:34:07who were just brilliant in both categories here.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Nothing wrong with either of your answers.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11You were only three points behind them in each case.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13But I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's been great having you on the show.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Emma and Simon!- It's been great. - Thank you very much.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21But, for Adrian and Rebecca, it's now time for our Pointless Final.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27Congratulations, Adrian and Rebecca!

0:34:27 > 0:34:29You've seen off all the competition

0:34:29 > 0:34:31and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32Very well done.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:39 > 0:34:43At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:34:43 > 0:34:45AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Well, what a show. What a show.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52What a great head-to-head, as well.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54A White Rose head-to-head.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56A Yorkshire head-to-head, fantastic.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59And you saw off our returning pair there.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02OK, well, as always, you get to choose your category.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04I say that like that really helps!

0:35:04 > 0:35:06You have four things to choose from, and here they are.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15Oh, goody.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18Oh, my goodness!

0:35:18 > 0:35:19Um...

0:35:21 > 0:35:24- I don't know. - Do you know any Shakespeare?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26- A little.- Do you know... You know some Shakespeare.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28A very small amount.

0:35:28 > 0:35:29You did English.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Shall we go for Shakespeare? The other ones...

0:35:32 > 0:35:33I don't know anything about Blackpool.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Let's just try Shakespeare. - All right.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38- We'll go for Shakespeare. - You're going for Shakespeare.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Richard.- I'll give you three different options. Very best of luck.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44I hope one of these suits you - take your answers from any of them.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47We're looking for any of the creatures that go into the cauldron

0:35:47 > 0:35:49in the witches' spell in Macbeth.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50We are looking for...

0:35:52 > 0:35:55..any characters, any named characters in Twelfth Night.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59- Which I did for O Level. That doesn't help you.- So did I.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Or anyone who was credited as an actor

0:36:02 > 0:36:04in the 1993 version of Much Ado About Nothing.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Very, very best of luck.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Thank you very much indeed.

0:36:08 > 0:36:09OK, now, as always,

0:36:09 > 0:36:11you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:36:11 > 0:36:13and all you need to win that jackpot, £3,250,

0:36:13 > 0:36:16is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories,

0:36:19 > 0:36:22and how you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25They can all come from one of those three, or one from each -

0:36:25 > 0:36:27- entirely up to you. Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Right, which one do you know anything about?

0:36:33 > 0:36:34Oh, my goodness.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Like, witches' spell, maybe like eye of newt...

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Eye of newt. Bat, the bat's bound to be there.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Yes.- Do you know any characters of Twelfth Night?

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Bottom, he's in Twelfth Night, isn't he?

0:36:43 > 0:36:46- I only did the first page of it in A Level.- Why? Fool!

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Um...- OK... Much Ado about Nothing - Judi Dench would have been in it,

0:36:49 > 0:36:50cos she's in everything.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53OK, I'm not sure about the 1983 film, I haven't seen that one.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Let's say Judi Dench, cos that's always a safe bet.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57And let's do some witches' spell stuff.

0:36:57 > 0:36:58- OK.- Bat and newts...

0:36:58 > 0:37:00They're going to be pretty obvious.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Um...- Think of some unpleasant creatures.- Toads.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Toad is an unpleasant creature. - Um...

0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Worm?- Worm.- Maybe not.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08No, maybe not worms.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Um...

0:37:10 > 0:37:12- I can't think of anything. - I can't think.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- OK, what about Twelfth Night, then? - No idea.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17- OK, we'll just forget that one. - Forget that one.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19I don't know anything about Twelfth Night.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21- I don't really know anything about Shakespeare.- No! Um...

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Ten seconds left.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Well, OK, let's say Judi Dench and bat...- Judi Dench and bat and newt.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29- OK, then. Yeah.- Yes, OK.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Right.- OK.- OK, there we are.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Going to ride out the last few seconds of your allotted minute.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36What are your three answers going to be?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Well, we think Judi Dench might have been in the film

0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Much Ado About Nothing. - OK, you're going to say Judi Dench.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43- And we're going to go with a newt. - A newt.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- And a bat.- And a bat.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47- And those last two are from... - Are from the witches' spell.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49The witches' spell from Macbeth. OK.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Of the three we have, Judi Dench, newt, bat...

0:37:54 > 0:37:56..which of those do you think is your best shot

0:37:56 > 0:37:58- at a pointless answer? - Have to say bat.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Bat we'll put last. OK, your least likely to be pointless?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Judi Dench, cos I'm not sure that she was in it.- Judi Dench.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06OK, let's put those up on the board in that order. And here they are.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08We have got...

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Judi Dench, newt, bat.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Very best of luck. Your first answer was Judi Dench.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17This was the one you thought was the least likely to be pointless.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Probably the least - possibly the least likely to be correct.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21But as you say, she's in a lot.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23- She is.- There's a pretty good chance she should be in it.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25I mean, would you think of casting a film like that

0:38:25 > 0:38:27- without putting her in it? - No, absolutely not.- No.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Now then, if one of these answers is pointless,

0:38:30 > 0:38:33it will win you a jackpot of £3,250.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35What would you like to do with that?

0:38:35 > 0:38:36Rebecca, I'll come to you first.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40Um, well, I went to South Africa a couple of years ago,

0:38:40 > 0:38:43so I think I'd like to explore a bit more of that continent.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46So I'd probably go travelling a bit.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Very good. OK, some African travel. Adrian, how about you?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Well, clearly I'm going to have to buy the box set of Borgen,

0:38:51 > 0:38:53which I've never watched. Um...

0:38:53 > 0:38:56and then my wife will tell me what to spend the rest on.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Quite right. OK, well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:59 > 0:39:00So, Judi Dench was your first answer.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03You've put her in the cast of the 1993 Much Ado About Nothing.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Let's find out if that's correct,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07and if it is, let's see if it's pointless.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09If it is, it will win you £3,250.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10How many people said Judi Dench?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Ooh!

0:39:15 > 0:39:18She was probably busy filming something else, I would imagine.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20An incorrect answer. Obviously not a pointless answer,

0:39:20 > 0:39:23which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27Your second answer, from the witches' spell in Macbeth,

0:39:27 > 0:39:28you've gone for newt.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30Let's see if that's right.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33If it's right, if it's pointless, you leave here with £2,500.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Let's see how many people said newt.

0:39:38 > 0:39:39It's right.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Your first answer, Judi Dench, was incorrect,

0:39:41 > 0:39:43but your second answer, newt, is absolutely right,

0:39:43 > 0:39:45taking us down through the 40s...

0:39:45 > 0:39:46to 45.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48APPLAUSE

0:39:50 > 0:39:54Newt, a very popular ingredient, there.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57So, everything is now riding on your third and final answer,

0:39:57 > 0:39:59which is bat.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Was this a bit of a punt, bat, or are you quite happy with bat?

0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Pretty sure it's correct. - Pretty happy with bat.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Probably not pointless.- Certainly one I'd put in a brew.- Yes.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10OK, obviously it has to be correct, then it has to be pointless.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13For £3,250, let's see how many people said bat.

0:40:16 > 0:40:17Well, again, it's right.

0:40:17 > 0:40:22Judi Dench was incorrect. Newt took us down to 45.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Bat passes 45. Now into the 30s, into the 20s,

0:40:24 > 0:40:26down it goes...

0:40:26 > 0:40:2821 for bat, I'm afraid.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30- APPLAUSE - Oh, well.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Bad luck.

0:40:34 > 0:40:35Bad luck.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Well, I'm sorry a nicer bunch of category options didn't come up for you on that board.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41But you didn't do badly - you got two of those right.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:40:44 > 0:40:47which means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,250.

0:40:47 > 0:40:48That will roll over onto the next show.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50We've really enjoyed having you on the show,

0:40:50 > 0:40:53and you performed so well right across it, so thank you for that.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56And you do get to take home a pointless trophy, so well done.

0:40:56 > 0:40:57APPLAUSE

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Sorry to see you go home empty-handed.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05- We've had some lovely winners recently.- Mm.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07We really have. It's been lovely having you on the show.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Judi Dench won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love,

0:41:09 > 0:41:11but not in Much Ado About Nothing, I'm afraid.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14The witches' spell, there's lots of animals in there.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Some rather unusual ones as well.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Adder. There's "adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,"

0:41:21 > 0:41:23blind-worm also a pointless answer.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Baboon - you cooled with a baboon's blood.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29Shark. Tiger also a pointless answer, there.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Fenny snake, also a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Now, before we do Twelfth Night - we both did this at O Level, right?

0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Yeah.- My O Level English teacher was Mr Trevett,

0:41:39 > 0:41:43- who I like very much, a very, very good teacher.- Yeah.

0:41:43 > 0:41:44I have got a pointless answer here.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48I'm hoping, on behalf of Mr Beatty, who taught me...

0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Mr Beatty versus Mr Trevett.- Yeah.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55Er... I'm going to go for Fabian.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58I'm going to go for Feste.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Well, I went for Feste.- OK.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at this board.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06- That's a draw.- Yes!- That is a draw. - Get in there!

0:42:06 > 0:42:08- APPLAUSE - Look at that.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16Curio and Valentine the only other two pointless answers there.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Everything else scored points.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20That's good, then. Mr Beatty and Mr Trevett, thank you very much.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Thank you. Thank you indeed.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26And actors in Much Ado About Nothing - some big names here.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Ben Elton, in that film.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Brian Blessed.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Imelda Staunton and Phyllida Law.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35Very well done if you said any of those at home.

0:42:35 > 0:42:36Thanks, Richard.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Adrian and Rebecca.

0:42:39 > 0:42:40We've loved having you on the show.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43It's been fantastic, and you can be very proud of your performance.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46But thanks so much, Adrian and Rebecca.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, sadly, Adrian and Rebecca didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:51 > 0:42:53which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:42:53 > 0:42:55when we will be playing for £4,250.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57AUDIENCE: Woo!

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
