0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- And couple number one.- Hi, I'm Alan.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- This is my friend Jill, and we're from Somerset.- Couple number two?
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Babs, I'm from Surrey.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44And this is my niece Ellen and she's from Lichfield.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Terry, this is Hayley, my wife.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And we are from Tonypandy in South Wales.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Guy, I'm from Newcastle
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and this is my friend Shihaab and he's from Aberdeen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Thanks, all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We will find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07That just leaves me with one more person to introduce - my accomplice,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11my getaway driver, my goodness, what have we got ourselves into?
0:01:11 > 0:01:12It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- This jackpot is getting exciting now, I think.- It is.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- What a show we had last time!- Oh!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Lesley and Julia in the head-to-head were terrific, weren't they?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- They were.- We've only got Terry and Hayley back from that show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Weren't they lovely - Julia and Lesley?- They were fab.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Very knowledgeable couple.- Yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36That said, you're delighted they didn't win the jackpot, right?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Isn't that awful!- It is awful.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- But they were so lovely, weren't they?- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- I know you'd be happy if they had won it.- Yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But a little bit of you is going, "Yesss..!"
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50All questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and our contestants are on the hunt for an all-important Pointless answer.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55An answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01As you've heard, Lesley and Julia didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03so we add another £1,000,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20OK, the pair with highest score at the end of the round
0:02:20 > 0:02:24will be eliminated, and remember, no conferring during the round.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Our first category today is...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first and second.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Nationalities of tennis players, Richard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven tennis players,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51all of them Grand Slam champions.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We need you to tell us the country they represented, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56As always, by country, we mean a member of the UN
0:02:56 > 0:02:58that is a sovereign state. There'll be 14 in all.
0:02:58 > 0:03:0114 nationalities to have a go at at home. So, very best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Thanks very much, Richard.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04So, we're looking for the country
0:03:04 > 0:03:06each of these tennis players represented.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13HE READS NAMES ALOUD
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I will read those one last time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Now, then, Alan and Jill, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and today you are going to go first.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Alan, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43You've come up from Somerset.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- What do you do, Alan? - I am retired.- What did you do?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I spent 31 years in clingfilm and orange juice.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Packaging.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Loved it. Loved every minute(!)
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Oh, clingfilm AND orange juice. - 31 years in clingfilm!
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Blimey.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Which of the two did you prefer, orange juice or clingfilm?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Clingfilm, I think. - I think that's the right answer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09LAUGHTER
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- What do you do with your retirement, Alan?- Almost a confession, here.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15My wife used to teach belly dance.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I think you probably know what's coming next here, actually.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I've been known to do the odd number.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25OK, nationalities of tennis players, Alan.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- LAUGHTER - There we are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31What do you make of that board? Do you follow tennis?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- A little bit. - What are you going to go for?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think I'll try Stefan Edberg is Swedish.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Swedish, Stefan Edberg, according to Alan.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Let's see if that's right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Swedish.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46It's right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think that sounds like an all right sort of score, Alan.
0:04:55 > 0:04:5751 for Swedish.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00He won a total of nine Grand Slam titles, six singles, three doubles.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02He's also a Chelsea fan, which will please Jill.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- We had a little chat beforehand. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ellen, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Now, you have come with your aunt. - Yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Whose idea was it to come, and who had to be talked into it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Well, we are both quite big fans of the show.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I think it was actually my mother's idea for us to apply.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Do you think she just wanted you out of the house for some reason?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Maybe she is planning a surprise party for you?- I hope so!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28That'd be fun. Can we come? We love a surprise party.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I love a surprise party, yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31What do you do, Ellen?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- I'm a student. - Whereabouts?- Lancaster.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- And what are you studying? - Ethics, philosophy and religion.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Sounds like perfect Pointless training. Very good indeed.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- How about tennis?- Erm... I watch Wimbledon. Most years.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45That'll do it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But I don't really pay attention to what nationality the people are.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- That's a shame.- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52LAUGHTER
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Erm... I think Rafael Nadal is Spanish.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Rafael Nadal, Spanish, says Ellen.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Let's see if that's right, and how many of our 100 people said Spanish.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It is right.
0:06:07 > 0:06:0974 people knew that, though.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Quite a high score for Rafael Nadal.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Famously a left-handed player, but writes with his right hand.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Quite a lot of left-handed sports people, actually.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Phil Nicholson is another one -
0:06:19 > 0:06:22plays left-handed but is not actually left-handed.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Thank you very much indeed. Now, then, Hayley.- Hi.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Remind us what you do, Hayley. - I'm a town planner.- That's right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Town planner for Barry.- Well, I'm actually an enforcement officer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Gets better!- So I do the policing of the planning system.- Right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- So you have to tell people to tear things down?- Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Are you nice when you turn up with your clipboard?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I've had people welcome me for a cup of tea and things like that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48And then you tell them to tear their house down. That's nice. Very good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50OK, Hayley, what about tennis?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Not the best, really. Not the best topic.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Looking at that board, I don't know whether to play safe,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59or take a bit of a risk.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I think I may play safe and go for Steffi Graf - Germany.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Germany, Steffi Graf, says Hayley.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Let's see if that's right,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and if so, how many of our people said Steffi Graf was German.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12It's right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Between our two scores, there.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah, a big score, but there are big scores all round,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25so perhaps you shouldn't have taken a risk. Erm...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28She won 23 Grand Slam titles - 22 singles and one doubles.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31In 1988 she won all four Grand Slam titles, and the Olympics.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35A Golden Slam - the first time it had ever been done by anyone.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Impressive.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Now, then, Guy - welcome.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- You are from Newcastle. - I am from Newcastle.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Originally from Newcastle?- Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I've never really held on to the Geordie tongue,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- but I am from Newcastle.- And you now live in London?- That's right.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- And what you do, Guy?- I work in a special education needs school.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It mainly specialises in working with kids
0:07:54 > 0:07:57with autism and learning difficulties.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Guy, you're the last to have the board.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Do you fancy filling in all the blanks for us?- Erm... Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I think the one that I'll go for
0:08:05 > 0:08:07is Francesca Schiavone,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09but, in the back of my mind,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I feel like Victoria Azarenka
0:08:12 > 0:08:14might be from Belarus.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Henri Cochet, I'd guess is French.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22But I'll say Francesca Schiavone from Italy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Italy, you're going to say for Schiavone.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Let's see if that is right, and if it is, let's see how many other 100 people said Italy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's right. Very well done, Guy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Good answer, good score.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Well played, Guy.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48The first Italian woman to win Grand Slam singles event - Francesca Schiavone.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Henri Cochet, you were right - French.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Quite a big scorer - 42 points.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Now, Victoria Azarenka, absolutely right, from Belarus,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00that would've been a terrific answer.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It would have scored you 8 points.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04So, very well played.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08And Virginia Ruzici was a Grand Slam champion in the '70s from Romania.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Which would have scored you two points.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Very well done if you said that. Very good knowledge.- Thanks very much.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15So, let's look at our scores.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17We're halfway round.
0:09:17 > 0:09:1927 the best score of that pass, Guy. Very well done indeed.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Then we go up to 51 for Alan and Jill, quite a climb.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Then up to 60 for Hayley and Terry,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and up to 74 where we find Ellen and Babs.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29We come back down the line now -
0:09:29 > 0:09:32can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36OK, we put seven more tennis players on the board.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'll read those one last time.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05We're looking for the country each of these tennis players represented.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Shihaab, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- I work as a sales engineer. - Sales engineer?- Yeah, for...
0:10:12 > 0:10:16We make instrumentation on site,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and they're usually used for water treatment processes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22OK, so it that sewage treatment? Or...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yes, sewage, municipal waste, or industrial.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27OK, Shihaab, let's have a good answer from you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30See if you can keep up your record of low scoring.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Right, yeah, I think I will go for
0:10:33 > 0:10:35the second one from the bottom,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Juan Martin Del Potro is from Argentina.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Argentina, says Shihaab.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Let's see if that's right for Juan Martin Del Potro
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and if so, let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48If you get below it, you're into round two.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51It's right.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Through you go, Shihaab.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Very well done. 29 it scores you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:0056 your total.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06He won the US Open in 2009, Juan Martin Del Potro.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Del Po they call him sometimes.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Now, then. Terry.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Terry, welcome back.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Remind us how you and Hayley met.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Erm... We are childhood sweethearts.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- We met when we were about 12 years old, originally.- Aw...!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Has he changed much since he was 12, Hayley?- A little bit.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- His beard was a bit bushier then, I guess.- Yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What are you going to go for? You're on 60.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35The high scorers are on 74 - Barbara and Ellen.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38So if you score 13 or less,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- you're straight through.- Shihaab had my strongest answer, unfortunately.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Erm...
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I think I have to play safe and say Roger Federer is Swiss.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Roger Federer is Swiss.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well, here is your red line.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Ideally, you'd get below that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56But we'll just see.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59See how many people said Roger Federer was Swiss.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:0570. That's a high score.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Takes your total up to 130, Terry.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12He's won 17 Grand Slams in nine years.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14At time of recording, anyway.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Now, then. Babs.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Babs, what do you do?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, I have just gone back to my old job
0:12:23 > 0:12:25which is a primary school teacher.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I had been retired two years,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I've just gone back on a temporary basis.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Had you missed it? Or, they'd missed you, I think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Oh, well, obviously, they'd missed me!
0:12:36 > 0:12:37But I am enjoying it, yes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39And what are your hobbies, Babs?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Well, during my retirement years, which were two years,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I have done quite a lot on my allotment,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and I also take the produce of the allotment
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- and turn it into jam and pickles.- Mmm...!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53We like jam and pickles.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Hmm.- Oh, Richard, a bit noncommittal there?- I like jam.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Oh, I love a pickle!- Not really.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Don't you like a pickle?- Not really.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Not really.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Oh, I like a relish!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Oh, I know that.- Mmm! Mmm!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yeah, not a huge fan.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12That's why I didn't really like that birthday present you got me.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- My Pickles Of The World subscription.- World Of Pickles?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I got... Richard had a day - Richard and a friend could have
0:13:19 > 0:13:21a day going around World Of Pickles.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- All the pickles we could eat.- Mmm!
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Which in my case is none.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Now, then, Babs, tennis players -
0:13:29 > 0:13:32you're not the high scorers any longer.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34That honour falls to Terry and Hayley.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38You're on 74, so score 55 or less, and you are through.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think, given our position, I might take a bit of a gamble,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and go for... and I can't actually say the surname.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yevgeny...Kafelnikov -
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Russia.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Stands to reason. Erm... Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Let's see if he is Russian.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58There is your red line - get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00How many people said Russian?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's absolutely right.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You are through.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12108 your total.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Two Grand Slam singles titles for Kafelnikov -
0:14:16 > 0:14:18the French and the Australian Open -
0:14:18 > 0:14:19As well as four Grand Slam doubles titles.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And I love the fact that there are so many teachers at home,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26retired teachers, just going - "No. I could never go back."
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Thanks very much, Rich. Jill, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Lovely to have you here. What you do, Jill?- I'm retired.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I've been retired a long time, and I do all the...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I was a youth and community worker.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Probation officer, social work, that sort of work.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46And, all the granny pursuits.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49And I'm a great fan of Glastonbury Festival.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I've been going since 1978.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You can tell people who went pre-'80s, they call it Glastonbury.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You can tell anyone, because nobody remembers!
0:14:58 > 0:15:03I won't ask what your highlights are. Put you on the spot.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Jill, there is your board.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07There are four left, could you talk us through all of them?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I would love to. I just wish I'd paid more attention!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I know all the names.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I'm trying to guess, but the only one I'm really sure of is
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Serena Williams, who I think is American.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'm frightened to get 100,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- so, I'm going to go for Serena. - OK.- American.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Serena Williams, American. Let's hope that doesn't score you 100.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Quite a high red line, let's see
0:15:32 > 0:15:35if Serena Williams being American gets you below that red line.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37How many people said American?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41It's right.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47Oh, no, Jill! 88. That's a big score, takes your total up to 139.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Sorry, Jill, that's unlucky.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53But 88 points, I'm afraid it's a big score.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Now, Maria Sharapova -
0:15:56 > 0:15:58if you had to guess, Jill, what would you have gone for?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Italian.- She's not, she's Russian.- Oh, right.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Could Kuerten be Swiss? - He could be, had he been born there!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Unfortunately... LAUGHTER
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Sadly, he is a low scorer, Kuerten,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13because his name doesn't sound like where he comes from. He is Brazilian.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Won the French Open three times. Would have scored you four points.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20And Iva Majoli is Croatian. Would have scored seven points.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, Kuerten is the best answer on that board.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Well done if you got that. - That was a tough board.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28At the end of the first round, I'm afraid it's Jill
0:16:28 > 0:16:33and Alan we have to say goodbye to. We will see you again next time. Jill and Alan, thanks for playing.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36APPLAUSE
0:16:36 > 0:16:40But for the remaining three pairs, time for Round Two.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, three pairs remain.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48We will be saying goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:16:58 > 0:16:59who is going to go second?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of
0:17:11 > 0:17:15"The Fellowship of the Ring" characters as they could.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Characters from The Fellowship of the Ring. Richard.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20We are looking for any of the main characters in
0:17:20 > 0:17:23The Fellowship of the Ring, that's any specific character
0:17:23 > 0:17:25who is named 20 times or more during the book.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28So, any of the main characters of The Fellowship of the Ring.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Very best of luck. I'd be terrible at this round!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Yeah.- Proper blind spot. - I'd only have high scores, I think.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:43Babs, The Fellowship of the Ring, is this good for you?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I have read it, but it was quite a long time ago.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I can think of quite a few character names.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51The one that came into my head, I don't know why, was Galadriel.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Galadriel. Galadriel, says Babs.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it. Sounds good.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01It's right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Still going down, Babs, look at that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Still going down. Six, very well done indeed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Good answer.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- Well played, Babs. Played by Cate Blanchett in the film.- Hayley.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26I'm going to go for... The only one I can really think of is Aragon.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, you're going to say Aragon.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK, let's see if that's right,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34and if it is, how many people said Aragon?
0:18:36 > 0:18:37It's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:4320.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49It's actually Aragorn,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52but I think it would be a bit harsh not to accept Aragon.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yes, played by Viggo Mortensen in the film.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58You may know that the only thing I really know about The Fellowship of the Ring
0:18:58 > 0:19:02is who played the different characters in the film. So, you may hear a few more of those.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I'm looking forward to that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Thank you very much. Now, Guy, how is this for you?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I have read it as well, but it's been a number of years.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Um, I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm going to say Elrond.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Elrond. Elrond, says Guy.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said that?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26It's right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Well, 20 is the high score, six is the low.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31You've passed the high score.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33And you've passed the low!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Look at that, a new low score, well done, Guy. This is becoming a habit!
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- Four for Elrond.- Well played, Guy, another good round. Yeah, Elrond.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Four was the best score of that pass. Well done, Guy and Shihaab,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53As they were last round. Then, up to six,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57not far behind them, Babs and Ellen. Then, up to 20, Hayley and Terry.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02It's not a high score, but you are among some ringers here, I think.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05They know their characters. We'll come back down the line,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13OK, Shihaab, we are looking for the name of any character
0:20:13 > 0:20:16mentioned 20 or more times in The Fellowship of the Ring.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20You are the low scorers on four, the high scorers are Terry and Hayley on 20.
0:20:20 > 0:20:2415 or less will mean you avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Isildur?- Isildur, let's find out. There is your red line.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Get below that and you are through to the next round,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35let's see if anyone said Isildur, if it's right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It's right, very well done, Shihaab.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well, four is our lowest score so far.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49And that's a pointless answer! Very well done indeed.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54That adds £250 to the jackpot, taking the total up to £10,250.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57But moreover, it scores you nothing
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and leaves your total at a very already impressive four.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Good stuff, very well played, Shihaab, terrific work.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05He was the second King of Gondor.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Ask me who played him. - Who played Isildur?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Er, Ross Kemp. LAUGHTER
0:21:14 > 0:21:17So, Terry, there you are on 20, still the high scorers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22You know what we need. How uncomfortable are you feeling?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Pretty uncomfortable!- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Um, I think my strongest answer
0:21:27 > 0:21:31is someone called Peregrin Took.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Peregrin Took, OK, no red line for you, as you are the high scorers.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Let's see if Peregrin Took is a good answer and how many people said it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It's right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:4913.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- 13 for Peregrin Took, takes your total up to 33.- Well played, Terry.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Everyone is doing very well. Also known as Pippin.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Thanks very much. Now then, Ellen.- Yes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03You are on six.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The high scorers, still Terry and Hayley on 33, you have to
0:22:07 > 0:22:10score 26 or less to stay in the game. Do you think you can do it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- I'm not sure. - ALEXANDER GASPS
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Talk us through your thoughts.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20I've seen the film once, about five or so years ago.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- OK, did you see all three? - Just the first one.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I think there's a character called Saruman.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Saruman.- Yes.- Saruman, OK.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- That's going to be your answer?- Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36There is your red line, oh, this is exciting!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You've got to get below that red line, Ellen,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40you've got to get below that red line!
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Saruman, is it right? How many people said it if it is?
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's right.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Has to go below that red line, is it going to?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Yes, it is!
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Very well done indeed, Ellen. Eight it scores. Very well done.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Takes your total up to 14,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02sees you very comfortably into the head-to-head.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Well, I bow to you all, that was a terrific round,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08very well played by everybody. Played by Christopher Lee, Saruman.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers. There are a few.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Obviously, we've already heard one. Let's take a look at some more.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Balin, Barliman Butterbur was a pointless answer.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Bill the pony. Of course!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23He sounds like someone from a Guy Ritchie film!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26COCKNEY ACCENT: Bill the Pony! He will KILL you!
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Well done if you said Bill the pony at home. I've never said that before!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32LAUGHTER
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Elendil, Farmer Maggot, Glorfindel.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Haldir, there's Isildur, very well played, and, er...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43LAUGHTER
0:23:44 > 0:23:46And Nob...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48was a pointless answer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Thanks very much indeed. Well, we are at the end of our second round
0:23:51 > 0:23:55and I'm sorry to say, we have to say goodbye to Terry and Hayley.
0:23:55 > 0:23:5833, not a bad score. Two perfectly good answers.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04They were just, they were quite standout characters, shall we say.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I'm sorry we are saying goodbye to you, it's been great having you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Nice to have some Tonypandy on the show!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Thanks for playing, Terry and Hayley, lovely contestants.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Congratulations, Guy and Shihaab, Babs and Ellen,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28you are one step closer to the final and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which currently stands at £10,250.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36We have to decide who is going to play for that money,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41the difference being, you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well, I tell you, what we've got on our hands here is a contest!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Fantastic low scoring throughout the show.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Pulses, Richard. - We've never done this before.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11We're going to hook everyone up to heart rate monitors...
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We're not really.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16What we're going to do instead is even more exciting.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20We're going to show you five pictures of edible pulses and...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I know, lucky you're not on heart rate monitors, right? They'd be going through the roof!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We're going to show you five pictures of edible pulses,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29you have to tell us the name of the most obscure.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Let's reveal our five edible pulses.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Here they come. We have got...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Uh-huh.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Oh, yes.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Look at those pulses. There we are.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Now then, Guy and Shihaab, you go first
0:25:59 > 0:26:02because you played best throughout the show so far.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Um...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19We... We are struggling a little bit,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23but I think C, we're thinking red lentils.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Red lentils, say Guy and Shihaab, for C. Red lentils.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Now, Barbara and Ellen, the rest of the board is all yours,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32talk us through the board.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I think that A is chickpeas,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37B is runner beans, D is broad beans.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I don't know about E. But I think...
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- My feeling is to go for D, broad beans.- D, broad beans.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So, we have red lentils versus broad beans.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50This is one of the best head-to-heads ever!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Guy and Shihaab said red lentils. Let's see if that's right
0:26:55 > 0:26:58and if it is, how many people said red lentils?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It's right.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Wow, 33 for red lentils.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Babs and Ellen have gone for D and they have said broad beans.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Let's see if that is right
0:27:17 > 0:27:20and if it is, let's see how many people said broad beans.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's right.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Has to be at...
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Ooh, 62!
0:27:28 > 0:27:3262 for broad beans. Well, we have a clear winner and it is red lentils.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Guy and Shihaab, you are up one point after one question.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Well played, Guy and Shihaab.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Now, Babs, you were right about A, it is chickpeas,
0:27:41 > 0:27:46and it would have scored you the point as well. 25, chickpeas scored.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49You were right about B as well, it was runner beans, a big score,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52though. It would have scored you 79.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And the best answer up there is E.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Any ideas on that?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- No.- They are soya beans. - Are they?- Two points for that.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Very well done if you said soya beans at home.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Babs and Ellen, you will get to answer this one first,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11but you have to win it to stay in the game, so, good luck.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12It concerns...
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- GCSE exams, Richard. - Yeah, we've never done this before.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21We are going to set you all a GCSE exam...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24No, we are going to show you the names of five qualifications
0:28:24 > 0:28:27you can take at GCSE, but we've done them in anagram form, I'm afraid.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'll read those again...
0:28:57 > 0:29:01THEY ALL CONFER
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Oh, I haven't worked any of those out! Babs and Ellen, I have to come to you.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Well, we think we know them all. The middle one is physical education.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Of course it is!
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Um, yes, yes, OK, you're going to say physical education.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Now, Guy and Shihaab, how are you feeling about this round?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Can you talk us through the board? - I think the top one is history.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Then, mathematics.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40We also thought that was physical education.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Geography and religious studies. We'll go for religious studies.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Religious studies, say Guy and Shihaab.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Oh, we said this was going to be close!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Very, very good head-to-head. Let's find out.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Babs and Ellen said physical education,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said that?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Yeah, this is going to be a low score, isn't it?
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Oh, look, 3.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I thought for a minute that was going all the way down.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Babs and Ellen get 3 for physical education.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Guy and Shihaab have gone for religious studies.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28I suspect it's going to be another low one.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Is it going to beat 3, though? Down it goes, still going down.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Oh, 7.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Very well done, both pairs, two brilliant answers there, but,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Babs and Ellen, you get the point.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Back in the game, it's 1-1 after two questions.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46The best two answers on the board.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Whichever team goes through to play for that £10,250 is really
0:30:49 > 0:30:52going to have earned it today. Terrific work, both teams.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56And you're right about all the others. There's history at the top.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59That would have scored you 71.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Then mathematics would've scored you 38.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07And geography would've scored you 59.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11So, it comes down to the decider, the third question.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Whoever wins this goes through to play for that jackpot.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19Best of luck to both pairs. Your third question concerns...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Take That. Richard.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Yeah, we've never done this before but we're going to form
0:31:27 > 0:31:29a Take That tribute act now and...
0:31:29 > 0:31:31LAUGHTER
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Again, I jest.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35No, we're going to give you five clues now to facts about Take That
0:31:35 > 0:31:37and the team who gives us the most obscure answer
0:31:37 > 0:31:40is going through to the final. Very best of luck, both teams.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Take That
0:31:44 > 0:31:45and here they are...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22There we are, five clues to facts about Take That.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Guy and Shihaab, you will go first.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30BOTH TEAMS CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Em, well, we think we're going to go for the bottom one being Stardust.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Stardust, you're going to say for the bottom one, Stardust.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50OK, Barbara and Ellen, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- That was the only one we were sure about.- Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Well, I might be making a bit of an idiot of myself here
0:33:00 > 0:33:03but perhaps the Bee Gees cover was How Deep Is Your Love.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05How Deep Is Your Love and that's the one you're going to go for?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08OK, so we have Stardust versus How Deep Is Your Love.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Guy and Shihaab said Stardust.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16It's right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Place in the final resting on this.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23That goes down to 11.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Babs and Ellen, you have gone for How Deep Is Your Love.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Well, it's right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40It's got to beat 11 if you're going to go through to the final.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Ooh, it's going down low!
0:33:42 > 0:33:4416.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46APPLAUSE
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Well played.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Absolutely no let-up in this head-to-head,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53another very, very close decider.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55But at the end of it, Guy and Shihaab,
0:33:55 > 0:33:56you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Well played, Guy and Shihaab, that's terrific work.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03There's a couple of answers that would have won the point.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05This one wouldn't.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07He won Celebrity Big Brother in 2002,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09that was Mark Owen.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11It would've scored you 20.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15The title of their debut album was Take That & Party.
0:34:15 > 0:34:177 points for that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21And the TV drama in which Gary Barlow played Micky Shannon in 2000,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23that's the best answer up there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24It's Heartbeat.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28He played a travelling musician. That scores 3 points.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Thanks very much indeed. Anyway, there we are.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32So, at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Babs and Ellen, I'm afraid we say goodbye to you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38It's great news for us cos it means we get to see you again, otherwise
0:34:38 > 0:34:41it would have just been one single appearance on Pointless
0:34:41 > 0:34:42and frankly, that's not enough.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Thanks very much indeed, Babs and Ellen.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:50But for Guy and Shihaab, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Many congratulations, Guy and Shihaab,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58you've fought off all the competition
0:34:58 > 0:35:01and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so well done.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You now have a chance to win the Pointless jackpot
0:35:08 > 0:35:12and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:18 > 0:35:22You are so deserving of that jackpot, you've played
0:35:22 > 0:35:26so well throughout the whole show, consistently our lowest scorers.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Now, as always, you kick off this round by choosing a category
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and you have four options to choose from.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I definitely feel more comfortable with Oscars, what were you thinking?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Yeah, I think we could both go for Oscars so...
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Yeah, we'd both be able to put something towards that so...
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Yeah, shall we crack on with that? - Yeah, we'll go with the Oscars.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53OK, the Oscars, Richard.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55OK, guys, very, very best of luck.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59We're going to show you three options now, we're looking for...
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Any film that's been nominated for the "Big 5" Oscars in the same year
0:36:03 > 0:36:05so that's any film that's been
0:36:05 > 0:36:07nominated for Best Picture, Best Director,
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Best Actor, Best Actress
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and either of the screenplay awards in the same year.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Doesn't have to win, but any film that's been nominated for all five.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25So, any film that's been nominated for the "Big 5",
0:36:25 > 0:36:29any director who has won more than one Best Director Oscar,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32any composer to have won more than one Best Music Score Oscar.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Plenty to get your teeth into there. Very, very best of luck, guys.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:40 > 0:36:43and all you need to win that jackpot of £10,250 is for
0:36:43 > 0:36:46just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Now, also to remember,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49just bear in mind that the answers you give can
0:36:49 > 0:36:51come from any of these categories and how you spread them
0:36:51 > 0:36:54across the categories is entirely up to you, it could be
0:36:54 > 0:36:56one from each, two from one, one from another, entirely down to you.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yep.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05OK, for directors, I've got a few early ones like William Wyler
0:37:05 > 0:37:08and maybe John Ford,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Joseph L Mankiewicz, I'm not 100% sure.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I don't know about any of these directors.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18All I know is that "Big 5", you've got One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
0:37:18 > 0:37:21and I think Silver Linings Playbook was also up for them.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Tootsie, I know it's maybe not as well known,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28it got nominated for ten, I think,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- but I don't know if the "Big 5" were all in there.- What about Rain Man?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Rain Man, I'm not too sure.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36No, cos there wouldn't have been a Best Actress.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Composers...- I think you're right about the directors.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45I think I know maybe a composer who's won more than one,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48maybe Randy Newman or...
0:37:48 > 0:37:50John Williams, Hans Zimmer...
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Ten seconds left.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58So I say maybe William Wyler,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01John Ford and...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04OK, that's your time up, what three answers are you going to give me?
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Eh, so for the directors, we'll go for William Wyler.- William Wyler.
0:38:09 > 0:38:15- Em, John Ford.- John Ford.- Shall we try Tootsie for the first one?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Cos I know that it got nominated for ten.- OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20OK, you're going for Tootsie as your third?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24OK, now of those three, three brilliant-sounding answers,
0:38:24 > 0:38:28which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:28 > 0:38:34I think if William Wyler is right then I think he might be the best.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38We'll pop him last. Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Tootsie.- Tootsie, we'll put that first and John Ford in the middle.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:44 > 0:38:45and here they are.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Well, three brilliant answers there. Let's hope they're all right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Let's hope at least one of them is pointless. Very best of luck.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Your first answer, Tootsie, you thought was probably your least
0:39:01 > 0:39:03likely to be pointless but remember only one of them
0:39:03 > 0:39:05has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot
0:39:05 > 0:39:08and that's a really exciting jackpot now, £10,250.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09What would you do with that, Shihaab?
0:39:09 > 0:39:15Em, I really want to go to Japan so I think maybe next summer,
0:39:15 > 0:39:16that's my first port of call.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Eh, Guy, how about you?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Well, I've never learned to drive so it's probably high time
0:39:20 > 0:39:24I got round to that and I think I would invest in a good road bike,
0:39:24 > 0:39:26try and speed up my commute around London.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Excellent. Well, very best of luck,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31such a strong performance throughout the show.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Tootsie, let's see how that does.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Obviously, it has to be correct,
0:39:35 > 0:39:37then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40So, for £10,250, let's find out
0:39:40 > 0:39:44if Tootsie was nominated for the "Big 5."
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Ooh.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52No, a very good guess,
0:39:52 > 0:39:55but evidently an incorrect answer so not a pointless answer.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Your next answer was John Ford and in this category,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05we were looking for directors who've won more than one Oscar.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06OK, let's see if it's right
0:40:06 > 0:40:08and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12If it's pointless, it'll win you £10,250. John Ford.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15It's right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20OK, your first answer, Tootsie, was an incorrect answer
0:40:20 > 0:40:22but John Ford is very much correct.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25It's now taking us through the teens into single figures.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27If this goes down to zero, you will win...
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Oh. 3.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30APPLAUSE
0:40:30 > 0:40:32That's a great answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Everything is now riding on William Wyler.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40You had no hesitation putting that last.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43You think this is the most likely to be pointless.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45It has to be for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47For £10,250, let's find out
0:40:47 > 0:40:51if William Wyler won two or more Best Director Oscars.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Best of luck. William Wyler.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58It's right.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Your first answer, Tootsie, was incorrect.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Your second answer, John Ford, took us down to 3.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08William Wyler, now taking us down into single figures,
0:41:08 > 0:41:09still going down.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12You've done it! You have done it!
0:41:12 > 0:41:13APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:17That is fantastic. Very well done.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20That's just brilliant, that's a fantastic answer. Come here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- Thank you so much.- Brilliant.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Ah, congratulations. William Wyler was a pointless answer.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I mean, not just for the pointless answer
0:41:33 > 0:41:36but also for the ordering, what drama you gave us there.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40You will be leaving here with a jackpot of £10,250.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Very, very well done, Guy and Shihaab.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48- How about that?- Yeah.- How about that?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Nice to see such a big jackpot won by two such deserving guys.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55You played brilliantly throughout against really, really good people
0:41:55 > 0:41:58and you're two nice guys as well, so well done. We're really chuffed.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yeah, won three Oscars, William Wyler,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03won them for Mrs Miniver, Ben-Hur and The Best Years Of Our Lives.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05In your 60 seconds, you mentioned another couple of answers.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Well, Joseph L Mankiewicz, you said,
0:42:07 > 0:42:08he would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11You also mentioned One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest for films that
0:42:11 > 0:42:13have been nominated for the "Big 5".
0:42:13 > 0:42:15That would have been a pointless answer as well.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17APPLAUSE
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Now, I know people do well in a film category
0:42:21 > 0:42:24so let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different ones.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26The films that have been nominated for the "Big 5" -
0:42:26 > 0:42:28American Beauty, there's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32won all five of them as well, The English Patient, The Graduate.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35You could have had Annie Hall, Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Could have had From Here To Eternity, you could have had Mrs Miniver,
0:42:38 > 0:42:39the William Wyler film.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Network, On Golden Pond, Rocky, The Philadelphia Story,
0:42:43 > 0:42:44The Remains Of The Day,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47all of those nominated for the "Big 5", all of those pointless.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Directors who won more than two, Elia Kazan,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Frank Capra won more than two.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Robert Wise, William Wyler there as well.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57You could have had Milos Forman, Fred Zimmerman,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Joseph L Mankiewicz, as we've said before.
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Now, let's look at the composers.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Alan Menken, he won four Oscars for Best Score, all for Disney films.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05There's Marvin Hamlisch,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Ralph Burns and Saul Chaplin.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13But a super congratulations, gents, for an amazing win.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Thanks very much indeed.
