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.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23David Bamber, who plays Mr Collins, you could have had Lucy Robinson,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26you could have had Polly Maberly as well, who plays Kitty Bennett.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28You played terrifically well all the way through.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30And it was a good jackpot round as well.
