0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:23 > 0:00:25and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game

0:00:25 > 0:00:27is to score as few points as you can, and you do that

0:00:27 > 0:00:30by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Raz, this is my friend Tom, and we're from Bridgend.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Adam, this is my big sister Hannah, and we're from Stirling.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Pauline, this is my friend Kath,

0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Keele in Staffordshire.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Caroline and this is my friend Eleanor,

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- and we're both from Walthamstow. - And these are today's contestants.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about each of you

0:01:01 > 0:01:02throughout the show.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08If life was a pub quiz he would be the bloke sitting at the bar

0:01:08 > 0:01:11drinking real ale and constantly demeaning the host.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon.- And to you.- We've got a nice little jackpot, haven't we?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24It hadn't escaped my notice.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27We had that time when people won about five out of six shows

0:01:27 > 0:01:30or something. We had a real run of people winning.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32But we've just had a few shows now without it, so it's a nice little

0:01:32 > 0:01:36bit of cash that could win today if somebody takes the bull by the horns.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Is that what you have to do to win? - Yeah.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- That's why they lost in the last game.- Of course.- The bull won.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48Well, taking it by the tail was, well, dodgy strategy. But, yes.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Anyway, we'll see in the final round. We'll see exactly what happens.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54When the bull gets let loose into the studio.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Thanks, Richard. Now, all our questions on Pointless

0:01:57 > 0:01:59have been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Today's contestants, like all contestants, are looking for

0:02:01 > 0:02:04a pointless answer, that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Find one of those and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Penni and Jo didn't win the jackpot last time

0:02:10 > 0:02:15so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts at...£6,250.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be

0:02:28 > 0:02:32eliminated, and there is to be no conferring during the round.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Our first category today is...

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:53 > 0:02:56We're going to show you the names of seven literary works on each board,

0:02:56 > 0:02:59along with the initials of the person who wrote that work. You just need

0:02:59 > 0:03:02to tell us the name of that person, please. There's going to be 14

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- in all, so very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We'd like the names of the authors of these books, please.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09And here is our first board of seven.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'll read those all one last time.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Raz and Tom, you all drew lots before the show

0:03:39 > 0:03:41and you are going to go first.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Raz, welcome back.- Thank you. - It was Round One last time.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Sadly.- What was the category? - Languages.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, yeah, it was days of the week.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51You didn't get any wrong, though.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Did you?- No, no. Highest score. - You went French.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- You went all French on us.- Lundi.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01We had Montag and Lundi.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Anyway, Raz, what are you going to go for?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10I was hoping the initials would help. They do on a couple.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I think I'll go for an educated guess at Uncle Vanya,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Agatha Christie.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Agatha Christie. Well, it certainly fits the initials.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Let's see if it's right, though. Agatha Christie for Uncle Vanya.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Bad luck, Raz. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Scores you 100 points.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yeah, she wrote Who Killed Uncle Vanya?

0:04:32 > 0:04:34LAUGHTER

0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Thanks very much. Now, Adam, welcome to the show. From Stirling.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- What do you do?- I'm a student. I study history and politics.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- What year are you in?- First year. - All going well?- Yeah, pretty well.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51History and politics -

0:04:51 > 0:04:53do you have any idea what you might want to do with it?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Absolutely nothing.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- No idea at all.- You're going to do absolutely nothing with it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00What are your hobbies, Adam?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I like playing sport. Bit of rugby as well.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07- In a few musicals. I perform as well.- That's fun.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Have you been doing that at university as well?- Yeah.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15- What have you been in so far?- Cats and Footloose.- You did Cats?- Yeah.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I was Macavity in Cats at school.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19That's fantastic.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Good for you. That's quite a complex thing to put on, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Lots of dancing?- A lot. I had my own solo dance as well.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Did a few forward rolls. Nothing too spectacular.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33If you get through to the Final and win that jackpot

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I will be expecting nothing less than a few forward rolls from you.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Look forward to that very much. Now, then.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41What do you make of this board?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Literature is one of my weaker subjects.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46That's why I went first. When I saw the board my heart sunk.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49So, I'm kind of happy that the first couple didn't go very well

0:05:49 > 0:05:52cos I'm going to have to have a punt.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56I'm going to go for... Our Man In Havana, Gary Gray.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Gary Gray.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- OK. It's going well, isn't it? - Terrifically well, this one.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Let's see if Our Man In Havana is indeed by Gary Gray.

0:06:08 > 0:06:13I'm afraid not. Bad luck. That scores you 100 points.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Not Gary Gray. You're absolutely spot on on the initials, though.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18It's not a bad guess.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Now, Kath, welcome back.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26What happened last time?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- We went out in the second round. - An honourable performance.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Songs With "Heart" In. That was quite a tough round.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- It wasn't rock music.- No. Remind us, what do you do, Kath?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm a senior school manager at Keele University.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Do you work harder during the holidays

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- when the students aren't there? - It's pretty much all year round.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47We have to do all the preparation before the students arrive.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Getting up to beginning of term must be quite pressured.- It's constant.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53And remind us what your hobbies are.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I like walking my dog. I do pilates as well.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I like swimming a lot. I'm always in the water.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm better in the water than I am on land, actually.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- You don't do pilates in the water, do you?- No, I do aquafit, though.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I like aquafit.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Anything in water.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK, Kath, what about this board?

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Please, let's have a correct answer.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21OK. I think I know two of them. One of them's fairly obvious.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25I'm going to have a go at Our Man In Havana and say Graham Greene.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Not Gary Gray, Graham Greene. Let's see if that's right,

0:07:28 > 0:07:32and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Graham Greene.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Absolutely right, very well done.

0:07:37 > 0:07:3951.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Terrific book, Our Man In Havana. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Now, Eleanor.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Welcome to the show. What do you do?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm a journalist on a women's magazine.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55What's the most exciting thing you've done

0:07:55 > 0:07:58since you've been working on magazines?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think the most exciting thing...

0:08:01 > 0:08:05I used to edit a football magazine.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09And we always used to do special covers at Christmas.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11And one Christmas when the Spice Girls were really big

0:08:11 > 0:08:15we got them on the cover, posing in football shirts.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20And to spice up the interview a bit - no pun intended -

0:08:20 > 0:08:24we took some pictures along of footballers.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27And one of the photos we showed them was a very young Beckham.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30And Posh Spice looked at the photo and said, "Oh, who's that?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33"I really fancy him."

0:08:33 > 0:08:35You were Cupid.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Two weeks later, their manager, Simon Fuller,

0:08:39 > 0:08:43goes up to Manchester United to see them play, cos he was a big fan,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46takes Posh with him, they go into the Players Bar afterwards.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48And he says,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51"Look, there's that player you fancied at the 90 Minute shoot.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53"Would you like me to introduce you?"

0:08:53 > 0:08:55So, as editor, it was my decision to put them on the cover,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59so I'm directly responsible for Posh and Becks.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02You are. I think that deserves a round of applause.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11Wow. Can you follow up that glory with a knockout answer?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Do you want to talk us through the board?- Um...

0:09:15 > 0:09:18War Of The Worlds is HG Wells.

0:09:18 > 0:09:23Doll's House, I think it's Henrik Ibsen, but I'm not 100% sure.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28Heart Of Darkness is Joseph... I don't know if it's Conran or Conrad.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34As I'm not sure about two of the spellings, I'm going to go for

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Vladimir Nabokov. Let's see if that's right for Lolita.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Vladimir Nabokov. How many people said that?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Very well done, Eleanor.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Nice correct answer. 51 was our low score and you passed that with ease.

0:09:50 > 0:09:5214. Brilliant.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Very well played. One of the greatest novels of all time, Lolita.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- People have started calling him "Na-bokov," haven't they?- Have they?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Yeah, they have.- That's annoying.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09We'll call him Nabokov.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Let's look through the rest of these.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Eleanor was right on War Of The Worlds.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19You were right, it is Henrik Ibsen.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Heart Of Darkness is...? - Joseph Conrad.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- The Egoist, do you know that one? - Uh, Meredith.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31It is George Meredith.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- And it's a pointless answer as well. Uncle Vanya?- Anton Chekhov.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38So George Meredith the best answer there. But very well done

0:10:38 > 0:10:40if you did well on that board.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Thank you very much. Well, let's take a look at those scores.

0:10:43 > 0:10:4514, very well done, Eleanor.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48And you took us beautifully through the board as well.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Then up to 51 where we find Kath and Pauline.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Then it's up to 100 where we find Adam and Hannah and Raz and Tom.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56So it's Hannah and Tom who are going to duke it out to see who stays

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and who leaves at the end of the round.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08OK, let's put seven more books up on the board, and here they come.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25I'll read those all one last time.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Seven books. Looking for authors. Caroline, welcome to the show.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- What do you do?- I'm a manager of an out-of-hours social work team.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Good for you. What do you do when you're not doing that?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Does that leave you with much spare time?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Yeah, yeah. I enjoy wreck diving.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Scuba diving inside sunken wrecks.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Being out of hours, does that mean you're weekends and evenings?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Well, I'm the manager, so I ring in and say,

0:12:06 > 0:12:09"I'm just about to go down."

0:12:09 > 0:12:11When you're diving, you mean. OK, fair enough.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm just going to go down and dive and I can take the call

0:12:14 > 0:12:15when I come up.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20OK, Caroline. Eleanor set you up beautifully there.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22What do you make of this new board?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25OK. Yeah, OK.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Can't think which one to go for.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'll go Virginia Woolf, A Room Of One's Own.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Well, the high-scorers are on 100. 85 or less sees you through.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37There's your red line.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41If you get below that with Virginia Woolf you're in Round Two.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Let's see how many of our 100 said Virginia Woolf.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Very well done, through you go.

0:12:53 > 0:12:5413.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Even better than Eleanor's score. 27 your total. Very well done.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Well played, Caroline. Part essay, part fiction, A Room Of One's Own.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Looking pretty good on podium four, aren't they?- They sure are.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Thanks, Richard. Now, Pauline.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Pauline, welcome back. Remind us what you do.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15- I'm retired.- Two weeks ago. - I know, yes.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16And it's OK so far.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- You've got your dogs as well.- Yes. - How many have you got?- Four dogs.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Four? What kind of dogs?

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Little cross-breed terriers.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26That's a lie - I've got a pedigree Yorkshire Terrier.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28I've got three dogs and a Yorkshire Terrier.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- So they still get their walk, presumably?- Oh, yeah, lots.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'm sure. And you specialise in dog agility.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I wish I could say I specialise, but, yes, I do dog agility.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40You do dog agility.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Are they all very agile, your four?

0:13:42 > 0:13:47One is. One's retired. The Yorkshire Terrier can do it, bless her.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50The jumps are a bit higher than she is. But she can do it.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53OK, there is your red line.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56You have to get below that red line to get through to the next round.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00What are you going to go for? Kath did pretty well first round.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yes. I know two of them.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04And I will go...

0:14:04 > 0:14:07for Thomas Hardy and Tess Of The d'Urbervilles.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Tess Of The d'Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Let's see if that's right,

0:14:11 > 0:14:13let's see how many of our 100 people said Thomas Hardy.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Oh, 64.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Quite a high score there. Takes your total up to 115

0:14:25 > 0:14:27but I think that is good enough to see you through.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's a good answer. His ashes are scattered in Westminster Abbey.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32But his heart is buried in Stinsford.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- With his wife.- They were scattered in Westminster Abbey?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38No, they weren't scattered. Sorry, that's ridiculous.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I was going to say.- You'd have to be quite important for that.- Yeah.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44They're in Westminster Abbey.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Right, OK.- Sorry.- Fair enough.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Now, Hannah, welcome.- Hello.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Welcome to the show. Also from Stirling.- Yes.- What do you do?

0:14:52 > 0:14:56I study sculpture and environmental art at Glasgow School of Art.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00And what kind of sculpture do you do? What's your medium?

0:15:00 > 0:15:07Wood, metal. It's not really like chipping away at a bit of marble.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12- But wood. Is that carving then? - No, I usually build things.- Right.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14And what do you do when you're not doing that?

0:15:14 > 0:15:19I've been doing a lot of knitting recently. I'm knitting a jumper.

0:15:19 > 0:15:25That's quite clever. I mean, it's not just knitting a scarf, is it?

0:15:25 > 0:15:29It's got arms. And a back.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- And a collar and stuff. - Yeah, exactly.

0:15:32 > 0:15:39Like knitting and reading and...just going out, seeing my friends. Great.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Do you read much?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43I used to study English literature at Newcastle.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Hannah...this is your bag. Was Adam relying on you, then?

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, I was pretty disappointed in the last round

0:15:50 > 0:15:52because there was ones just screaming at me.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56But I know every one apart from the bottom one.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00I think I'm going to go for Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation Of Dreams.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05Sigmund Freud. There is your red line. You now have a goal.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Let's see if you can get below that red line with

0:16:07 > 0:16:10The Interpretation Of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13It's right.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20There we are - 20.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Pauline and Kath, you are through.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Hannah and Adam, 120 is your total.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I wonder if that's enough to get you through.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29It's all in Tom's hands.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Yeah, well played, Hannah. Exciting end to the round now, isn't it?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Wouldn't want to be Tom right about now, would you?- No.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Or you really would want to be Tom. Maybe Tom has a knockout answer.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43Yeah, there's a certain air of confidence...

0:16:44 > 0:16:46He's doing that shake of head but that's saying,

0:16:46 > 0:16:50"I can't believe I know all of these."

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Thanks very much. Now, Tom. Welcome back.- Thank you.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- It was Round One last time.- Yes.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Tell me that's not going to happen again this time.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I wish I could.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Oh, dear.- Remind us what you do, Tom.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I work in a reception in a hotel.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Where's the hotel?- Abergavenny. - Will this be playing?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Are there any tellies in the corners of rooms? In the public rooms.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Not in the public rooms. Just in the guest rooms.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17How many of you are there on reception?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19There's three of us

0:17:19 > 0:17:22and there's three more in the back office as well.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26So, no pressure, as I told them when I was going on this.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yes, this is your second appearance.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32It can't come to an end here, Tom. Talk us through the board.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35OK, top one - Mark Twain.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I guess with Anna Karenina that's Leo Trotsky.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41The Great Gatsby is F Scott Fitzgerald.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Those three ones probably may be high ones.

0:17:45 > 0:17:50So I'm going to take a punt. I'll go for What Maisie Knew, Harold Jacobs.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Harold Jacobs.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Let's see if that's right for What Maisie Knew.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Let's see how many people said it, if it is. Harold Jacobs.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03I'm sorry, Tom.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Brave effort but I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.- Sorry, Tom.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13If it's any consolation the ones you did know

0:18:13 > 0:18:15would have scored too many points.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's not Harold Jacobs, it's...

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Do you know that one?- I don't. - Henry James.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Oh, Henry James?- Yeah.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Let's got the top. It's an easier board, this one. Some big scores.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Anna Karenina, it's not Trotsky, it's Leo Tolstoy.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43So Henry James the best answer on that board.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Thanks very much indeed. So at the end of our first round,

0:18:45 > 0:18:49the pair who will be heading home, for the second time, Tom and Raz.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52We say goodbye to you far too soon.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56- What can I say? We didn't give you the subjects you'd have liked.- No.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58And I'm afraid this really is goodbye

0:18:58 > 0:19:01but thanks very much for playing. Tom and Raz.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06For the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13So three pairs remain.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17At the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Good, solid answering from you there, Kath and Pauline.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Nothing wrong with your answers, just quite high scores.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Caroline and Eleanor, lovely low scoring from you.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31Hannah, very well rescued there. Adam...need to pull your socks up.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to first and second?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- 21st century Best Picture Oscar Nominees. Richard.- We're looking for

0:19:58 > 0:20:01the name of any film that's been nominated for Best Picture Oscar

0:20:01 > 0:20:05from the 2000 ceremony up and to and including the 2013 ceremony.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09So any film nominated for Best Picture Oscar from 2000 to 2013,

0:20:09 > 0:20:12so there's almost 100 answers on this list.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Thanks very much indeed. OK.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16The title of any film that's been

0:20:16 > 0:20:19nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in the 21st century...

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Hannah. - Wow. There's a lot.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26I don't know if I can narrow it down...to just one.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, I think this is going to be quite high,

0:20:28 > 0:20:30but hopefully Adam will save me in the next round.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34So...I'm going to say The Blind Side.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37The Blind Side. OK. The Blind Side, says Hannah.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it if it is.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's right.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52That's not a bad score at all. Down it goes. It's a pointless answer.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55APPLAUSE

0:20:55 > 0:20:57- HE LAUGHS - Very well done, Hannah.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59A pointless answer, of course, adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02It takes the total up to £6,500.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04It scores you absolutely nothing.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08I love it. You thought Adam needed to help you out with that.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- The pressure's on now. - Lovely low score there.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I am really looking forward to Adam helping you out.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14That's going to be quite something.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16From 2010. Didn't win the Oscar, but was nominated.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for her role in it.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Kath...

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Top that. - Yes. Not going to be easy, is it?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27As I've gone completely blank.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30And I go to the pictures quite often as well.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Oh, dear.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Erm...

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I think I'm just going to have to take a guess...

0:21:35 > 0:21:37and say The Kite Runner.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39The Kite Runner, says Kath. Let's see if that's right

0:21:39 > 0:21:42and how many people of our 100 said The Kite Runner.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Oh, bad luck, Kath. I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50It scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Sorry, Kath, not nominated for Best Picture, I'm afraid.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Thanks, Richard. Eleanor.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Oh. I would have thought films was one of my good ones.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04It's quite hard to narrow it down. I'm trying...

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Also working out which is 21st and which is 20th.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09I'm going to say Hugo.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Hugo. OK, let's see if that's right and,

0:22:12 > 0:22:15if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hugo.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's right.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25We've had one pointless so far. Where is this going to go? One!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Very well done indeed, Eleanor.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Well played, Eleanor.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Martin Scorsese's 3D film Hugo nominated in 2012.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's absolutely one of those rounds where your head goes blank

0:22:39 > 0:22:41and when I read them out, you'll know all of them.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Zero, a pointless answer from you, Hannah. Very well done.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50That puts you and Adam at the top of the grid at this point.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51Very well done. Lovely low score.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Then up to one, where we find Eleanor and Caroline.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Then, I'm afraid, up to 100, where we find Kath and Pauline.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59So, Pauline, I hope you're having a bit more luck than I'm having

0:22:59 > 0:23:01trying to find a good answer to this.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Erm... Best of luck. A nice low score from you, who knows?

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Maybe it will help you out. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Caroline, remember, we're looking for the title of any

0:23:15 > 0:23:19film that's been nominated for Best Picture Oscar in the 21st century.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24The high scorers are Pauline and Kath on 100, so 98 or less...

0:23:24 > 0:23:26sees you comfortably through.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'd say The Artist.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31The Artist, says Caroline. OK, there's your red line.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34As I say, below that and you are in the head-to-head.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Let's see how many of our 100 said The Artist.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's right and you're through.

0:23:45 > 0:23:4618.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48APPLAUSE

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Takes your total up to 19. Well done, Caroline.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yeah, won in 2012, The Artist.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56The first almost entirely silent film to win since 1929.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Pauline...

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Hmm-hmm.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Pauline...

0:24:03 > 0:24:06I don't watch films, really.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Still, never mind, eh? Erm...

0:24:08 > 0:24:11THEY LAUGH

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I can think of one that would get 99.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Let's go for, I don't know, The Maid.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19The Maid, says Pauline.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20The Maid. Let's see if that's right.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Maid.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25No red line for you as you are the highest scorers.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh, bad luck.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Pauline, takes your total up to 200.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Sorry, Pauline, not an Oscar nominee.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Thanks very much. Now, Adam, good news. You're already through.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44However, Hannah set you up as being the film expert.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46So she scored nothing, Adam.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- You have to score minus something. - LAUGHTER

0:24:49 > 0:24:51I know more about films than I do about books,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54but I knew nothing about books, so that's not very hard. Erm...

0:24:54 > 0:24:59I kind of just want to score, so I'm going for Silver Lining Playbook.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01The Silver Lining Playbook, says Adam.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03OK. No red line as you are already through,

0:25:03 > 0:25:07but let's see how many of our 100 people said Silver Lining Playbook.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Ooh, I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Adam,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Hannah, where would you be without him?- I know, exactly.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19LAUGHTER

0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's The Silver Linings Playbook, so I couldn't give it to you.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24It would have scored you five points.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Lots and lots of pointless answers here.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Let's take a look at some of them.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31An Education was a pointless answer.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34The Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson film

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Lost in Translation is a pointless answer.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41The brilliant Sideways is a pointless answer.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43There's The Blind Side, a terrific answer.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47The Insider, about the tobacco industry.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49The Sixth Sense was a pointless answer.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50George Clooney's Up In The Air also.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53You could also have had Money Ball, that was pointless.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Michael Clayton was pointless. Master And Commander was pointless.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Traffic was pointless. Serious Man, all of those pointless.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Let's take a look at the highest scorers,

0:26:01 > 0:26:02the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Funnily enough, we've already heard the top scorer.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Argo would have scored you 16.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10The Artist with 18, and tied with The Artist -

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Slumdog Millionaire.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Thanks very much, Richard. We're at the end of our second round,

0:26:15 > 0:26:17and I'm afraid the pair we're having to say goodbye to

0:26:17 > 0:26:21with their high score, it's our returning pair Pauline and Kath.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23The last of our returning pairs, I might say.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Erm... That was tough.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's been great having you on both shows.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Thanks for playing, Pauline and Kath.- Thank you.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Congratulations, Caroline and Eleanor, Hannah and Adam.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44You are now one step closer to the final

0:26:44 > 0:26:46and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:26:46 > 0:26:49which currently stands at 6,500.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51APPLAUSE

0:26:51 > 0:26:53We have to decide who's going to play for that money,

0:26:53 > 0:26:55and to do that you are now going to go head-to-head.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57The difference is you are now allowed to confer,

0:26:57 > 0:27:01and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Well, Caroline and Eleanor, very well done.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05A faultless performance throughout the show.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Lovely low scoring throughout.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Hannah and Adam, not bad. Lovely pointless answer we've had from you.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Adam, I tell you what I'm looking forward to - a correct answer.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16- LAUGHTER - That would be good.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18So far you are on a personal 200 club.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21But obviously now you can put your heads together.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23I think this should be a pretty good match.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:27:39 > 0:27:40We're going to show you five posters,

0:27:40 > 0:27:43which were produced by the British government during World War II,

0:27:43 > 0:27:45but we've left out part of the slogan.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Can you tell us what the slogans were, please?

0:27:47 > 0:27:51Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five posters and here they come.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52We have got...

0:28:14 > 0:28:15There we are.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Five World War II posters. Now, Caroline and Eleanor,

0:28:17 > 0:28:21you played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25THEY WHISPER

0:28:35 > 0:28:39We're going to go for D, Make Do And Mend.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Make Do And Mend, say Caroline and Eleanor for D.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43Now then, Hannah and Adam,

0:28:43 > 0:28:46do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'll try.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50So we know Keep Calm And Carry On for A.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53B, I think it might be Come Into The Workplace.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57I have seen that Keep Mum before - C.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00D is Make Do And Mend.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04E, I think, is something about potatoes...

0:29:04 > 0:29:07but I can't remember what the potato slogan is.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11So we're going to try and go for B, Come Into The Workplace.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Come Into The Workplace.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15We have Make Do And Mend and Come Into The Workplace.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Carole and Eleanor have said Make Do And Mend.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's right.

0:29:25 > 0:29:2857.

0:29:30 > 0:29:3257 - quite high.

0:29:32 > 0:29:37Hannah and Adam, you have gone for Come Into The Workplace for B.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:29:39 > 0:29:41let's see how many people said it.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Ooh, bad luck, Hannah and Adam.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47But well done, Caroline and Eleanor.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Just by being right you win that point,

0:29:49 > 0:29:51- so you are up one-nil.- Well played.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54You weren't a million miles away with Come Into The Workplace -

0:29:54 > 0:29:57it's the right idea. It was Come Into The Factories...

0:29:57 > 0:30:00and that would have scored you eight points.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04You were right to avoid Keep Calm And Carry On - it's a big scorer.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06That would have scored you 70 points.

0:30:06 > 0:30:11- C is Keep Mum... - She's Not So Dumb.- Absolutely.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14- It would have scored you two points. Charming, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17And E... It is sort of about potatoes, if you like.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20- It's about agriculture in general. - Dig For Victory.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yeah. And that would have scored...31.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes your second question.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Hannah and Adam, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30It concerns...

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Richard.- We'll show you five clues to facts about Westminster Abbey.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Can you give us the most obscure answer to one of these five?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's reveal our five clues to Westminster Abbey

0:30:43 > 0:30:44and here they come.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05I'll read those all one last time.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Hannah and Adam, you will answer it first this time.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30THEY WHISPER

0:31:40 > 0:31:43The only one we know is the woman who married

0:31:43 > 0:31:47Prince Andrew in the Abbey in 1986 was Sarah Ferguson.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Sarah Ferguson, say Hannah and Adam. Sarah Ferguson.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Now, Caroline and Eleanor, the board is all yours.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Erm... Poets' Corner...- It's Poets' Corner...- But we're not...

0:31:57 > 0:32:01And the king who was crowned was William the Conqueror.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04- I think, it is Tomb of...? - The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05And I don't know the dean.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09I don't know the dean, so it depends which is right out of...

0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Poets' Corner?- OK.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14We'll go for the area where Tennyson...

0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Poets' Corner.- Poets' Corner.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Sarah Ferguson versus Poets' Corner.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Hannah and Adam have said Sarah Ferguson

0:32:21 > 0:32:24for the woman who married Prince Andrew in 1986.

0:32:24 > 0:32:25Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:32:25 > 0:32:27let's see how many people said that.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Absolutely - oh! Look at that.

0:32:32 > 0:32:3588. High score for Sarah Ferguson.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38So, Caroline and Eleanor, if you can beat that with Poets' Corner

0:32:38 > 0:32:41you are straight through to the final. Let's see if that's right

0:32:41 > 0:32:44and let's see how many of our 100 people said Poets' Corner.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49It's right and you've done it. Very well done.

0:32:51 > 0:32:5327.

0:32:57 > 0:32:5827 for Poets' Corner. Very well done.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02Caroline and Eleanor, after only two questions, you are straight

0:33:02 > 0:33:04- through to the final two-nil. - Well played, Caroline and Eleanor.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Terrific head-to-head there. That's...

0:33:06 > 0:33:09That's where Thomas Hardy's ashes are scattered, of course.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10- Yeah.- Yeah. But we all know that.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13The king who was crowned, you were right, was William the Conqueror.

0:33:13 > 0:33:1723 points. It's the Grave of the Unknown Soldier...

0:33:17 > 0:33:19would have scored you 43.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Do you know, every bride who has been married in Westminster Abbey,

0:33:22 > 0:33:24they return the bouquet and it's laid

0:33:24 > 0:33:26on the Grave of the Unknown Soldier?

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Ever since the Queen Mother was married there.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30And the man who became dean of the Abbey,

0:33:30 > 0:33:32very well done if you said John Hall.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34That's a terrific answer. It would have scored you one point.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Thanks very much indeed.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38So...the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:33:38 > 0:33:41I'm afraid it's Hannah and Adam.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42Oh, you did so well.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45You promised much. I am looking at you particularly, Hannah.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49Although actually, Adam, it was only a missing S. It was only a plural.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51You only had one silver lining.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53That was the film title I sort of, lazily,

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I was grasping for and couldn't find,

0:33:55 > 0:33:58so you at least helped me.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00But anyway, listen, thanks very much meanwhile.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Hannah and Adam. - APPLAUSE

0:34:03 > 0:34:08But, for Caroline and Eleanor, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13Congratulations, Caroline and Eleanor, you've seen off all

0:34:13 > 0:34:16the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:34:24 > 0:34:28and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £6,500.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE

0:34:31 > 0:34:33On the strength of your performance so far,

0:34:33 > 0:34:35I'd say that looks within the realms of possibility

0:34:35 > 0:34:37that you might be leaving with that jackpot.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42Lowest scorers in every round, two-nil in the head-to-head.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45I didn't ask, how did you two meet?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48Well, both of our sons are called Joseph - Joe - and they both

0:34:48 > 0:34:51went to the same nursery and we didn't know each other.

0:34:51 > 0:34:56And...they, as four-year-olds, got in a scrap together and me,

0:34:56 > 0:35:00to break it up, shouted at my son, "Joe, will you just stop that?!"

0:35:00 > 0:35:03And you thought I was having a go at your son.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I thought she was shouting at my son...

0:35:05 > 0:35:07- LAUGHTER - ..so I wasn't very happy.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09So you were a bit like, "What? What?"

0:35:09 > 0:35:11And then we became good friends.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- HE LAUGHS - Eventually.- Eventually.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16A little side scrap and then...

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Good stuff. Well, listen, very best of luck.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23You get to choose your category from four different options

0:35:23 > 0:35:24and here are those four options.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Costume... - Costume dramas, that's TV.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Yeah, it's TV. Why don't we do costumes?

0:35:39 > 0:35:41What does it matter? Costume dramas.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44I think we'll go costume dramas, please.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Costume dramas. OK, Richard.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49OK, very, very best of luck. I'm going to give you three options now.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51Take your answers from any of these.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53We are looking for anybody, any actor or actress,

0:35:53 > 0:35:56credited with five or more performances in the series of

0:35:56 > 0:35:58I, Claudius in 1976,

0:35:58 > 0:36:01anyone who appeared in five or more episodes

0:36:01 > 0:36:03of the first series of Downton Abbey,

0:36:03 > 0:36:07or anyone who appeared in five or more episodes of the BBC

0:36:07 > 0:36:10adaptation of Pride and Prejudice in 1995.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12So five or more episodes of I, Claudius from 1976,

0:36:12 > 0:36:15five or more episodes of the first series of Downton Abbey,

0:36:15 > 0:36:19or five or more episodes of the BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Very, very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:36:24 > 0:36:26and all you need to win that jackpot

0:36:26 > 0:36:28is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30The answers you give can come from any of these categories

0:36:30 > 0:36:33and you can spread them across the categories how you like.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35They could all come from Downton, I, Claudius,

0:36:35 > 0:36:37or there could be one from each. So entirely down to you.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45I, Claudius...

0:36:45 > 0:36:48I think...

0:36:48 > 0:36:52Oh, it's five episodes...

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Erm...

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Brian Blessed... I don't know...

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Just take the punt. Go for pointless. Don't matter.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02Pride and Prejudice, Jennifer...

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Is it Julia Sawalha?

0:37:04 > 0:37:05Julia Sawalha, yes.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11And Julia Sawalha, I think she might...

0:37:11 > 0:37:13INAUDIBLE WHISPERS

0:37:13 > 0:37:15I think it was five episodes.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Who was married to Peter O'Toole?

0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Sian...- Phillips?

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Sian Phillips!

0:37:20 > 0:37:22OK, right, OK.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Um...

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Patrick Stewart, I don't know if it's five episodes.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31INAUDIBLE CONFERRING

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Ten seconds left.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38OK, so shall we do Julia Sawalha for Pride and Prejudice

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Sian Phillips from I, Claudius

0:37:40 > 0:37:43and I was going to say...

0:37:43 > 0:37:44OK, that's your time up.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46I now need your three answers.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48If you could say which category you're answering.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51From Pride and Prejudice, Julia Sawalha.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52Julia Sawalha.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Erm, I Claudius, Sheila White.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59And Sian Phillips.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Sian Phillips.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03OK, now, of those three,

0:38:03 > 0:38:05which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Sheila White? - Sheila White, we'll put last.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Least likely to be pointless? - Julia Sawalha?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Julia Sawalha, we'll put first.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19We have got Julia Sawalha, Sian Phillips and Sheila White.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20Well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22Three good answers up on the board there.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Your first answer was Julia Sawalha.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27This was the one you thought least likely to be pointless.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless

0:38:29 > 0:38:31for you to win that jackpot of £6,500.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Now, what would you do if you won that, Caroline?

0:38:34 > 0:38:36I think I'd get a new car,

0:38:36 > 0:38:38because our one's been ruined by a dog.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Your dog?- Our dog.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43Not ruined by "a dog" - terrifying.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45A dog getting into a scrap with a car.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Eleanor?

0:38:46 > 0:38:50I was thinking of going on holiday and buying some new boots,

0:38:50 > 0:38:51but actually...

0:38:51 > 0:38:53What kind of boots do you favour?

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Really, really expensive ones.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57I understand that.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01I'd also like to take my son, Charlie, to see Tottenham play.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Oh, come on. Poor kid!

0:39:03 > 0:39:09I know! I've ruined him for life. Sadly. Nothing can be done about it!

0:39:09 > 0:39:10OK, so your first answer,

0:39:10 > 0:39:13in this case we were looking for Pride and Prejudice actors.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15You have said Julia Sawalha.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17This has to be right and it has to be pointless

0:39:17 > 0:39:18for you to win that jackpot,

0:39:18 > 0:39:21so for £6,500, let's see how many people said Julia Sawalha.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22Is it pointless?

0:39:24 > 0:39:25It's right.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Now, if this goes all the way down to zero

0:39:28 > 0:39:32you will leave here immediately with £6,500 in your back pockets.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Now, still going down into single figures, still there, four!- Oh!

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Four, for Julia Sawalha.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42- Alison Steadman.- Oh, yes!

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Good answer, a great answer.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Think how pleased you'd be with four in normal gameplay.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52Sadly, we are only interested in pointless answers at this stage.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54So you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Your second answer was Sian Phillips.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00In this case we were looking for cast members from I, Claudius.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04If it goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £6,500.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07How many people said Sian Phillips? Is it pointless?

0:40:10 > 0:40:11It's right.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15Your first answer, Julia Sawalha, took us down to four.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Sian Phillips now taking us down through the teens

0:40:18 > 0:40:21into single figures, oh, seven!

0:40:23 > 0:40:24Gutted.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26- You don't see the work, but... - You don't, but...

0:40:26 > 0:40:29OK, seven for Sian Phillips, which means everything is now

0:40:29 > 0:40:33riding on your third and final answer, which is Sheila White.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Again, in the cast of I, Claudius.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40You're sure this is right? You're not entirely sure.

0:40:40 > 0:40:41Well, you're just not sure

0:40:41 > 0:40:43if she's been in the requisite number of episodes.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Yeah, or it's her real name, that it's the right name. We'll see.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50OK, we'll find out. £6,500.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Let's see how many people said Sheila White. Is it pointless?

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Oh, bad luck!

0:40:59 > 0:41:00Oh, never mind!

0:41:02 > 0:41:03I'm sorry.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08You played that last round so well.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10You had lots of answers flying around but I'm afraid

0:41:10 > 0:41:13you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

0:41:13 > 0:41:14You didn't manage to submit it,

0:41:14 > 0:41:16so you didn't win today's jackpot of £6,500.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18That will roll over to the next show.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21We really enjoyed having you on the show. You played so well.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23And of course, you get to take home the Pointless trophy,

0:41:23 > 0:41:26- so very well done. - Thank you.

0:41:26 > 0:41:27APPLAUSE

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Yeah, sorry, really unlucky, it's a terrific performance.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33There were answers up here that you will know.

0:41:33 > 0:41:37Especially on Downton, there's some big names on the Downton one.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Sheila White, she was in I, Claudius, played Messalina,

0:41:40 > 0:41:42she was only in three episodes.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45So Sheila White's agent has just cost you £6,500!

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Let's take a look at some pointless answers.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50I, Claudius first, there's only a couple here.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53George Baker, probably best known as Inspector Wexford, played Tiberius.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55James Faulkner, also a pointless answer there.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58But Downton, any proper Downton fan will know a few of these.

0:41:58 > 0:42:02Jim Carter, who plays Mr Carson, was a pointless answer.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Laura Carmichael who was Lady Edith. Rob James-Collier, who's Thomas.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07And Siobhan Finneran, who was O'Brien.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10You also could have had Brendan Coyle, who plays Bates,

0:42:10 > 0:42:11he was a pointless answer.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13As was Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays Lady Sybil.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15All of those are pointless.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Anna Chancellor, who plays Miss Bingley, she was a pointless answer.
