0:00:13 > 0:00:14APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where obscure knowledge is tested to the max.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hi, I'm Mick, from Leicester,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- and this is my son Stuart from the Isle of Wight.- Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Josie and this is my partner Bill and we're from West Yorkshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number three. - I'm Pam, this is my friend Sylvie.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- We're from Brighton and we're retired.- And couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Sarah, I'm from Newbury,
0:00:53 > 0:00:58and this is my father-in-law's sister, Sally, who is from Surrey.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Thanks very much to all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Twice considered to play Spock in the new Star Trek films,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14he lost out only because his hands kept cramping.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- It's Pointless friend, it's Richard. - Hi, everyone. Hiya!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hiya. Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - I barely got over that last show.- Oh!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Wasn't that an amazing finish?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32The two Davids, two lovely Scottish gentlemen,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and their final question was "cast members in the very first
0:01:35 > 0:01:39episode of EastEnders." Picked three answers, all good answers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43First answer scored one point, second answer scored one point,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46third answer also scored one point.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Three ones, one of the rarest things we've ever seen on Pointless.- Shame.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Shame, you're saying. All you're thinking, there's another £1,000
0:01:53 > 0:01:55on the jackpot, that's all you're thinking. I'm not fooled at all.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But they were great, weren't they? It was a terrific show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Four new pairs today, which is also a very rare thing. It's like coming to
0:02:02 > 0:02:05a party and you don't know anyone yet. I'm glad you're here,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07cos I know you, but I'm sure we'll get to know them.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm sure they'll be lovely. First time, I think, we've ever had someone
0:02:10 > 0:02:13who's come on with their father-in-law's sister.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:17When you actually think about it, quite a simple relationship,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- but it sounds immensely complicated, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Thanks very much indeed. Anyway, all of our questions on Pointless
0:02:22 > 0:02:25have been put to 100 people before the show. Our contestants must find
0:02:25 > 0:02:28the obscure answers our 100 people didn't get. Of course, everyone's
0:02:28 > 0:02:30trying to find a Pointless answer,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32which is an answer that nobody got at all,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and every time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Now, David and David didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Now, all you have to remember is that the pair with
0:02:57 > 0:03:00the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Best of luck. Our first category today is...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Desert Island Discs.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So, artists requested by the public in the Your Discs
0:03:34 > 0:03:37poll for Desert Island Discs. Richard.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, May 2011, Desert Island Discs asked the general public to nominate
0:03:40 > 0:03:43the eight tracks that they would take on a desert island with them.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47It was a huge poll, and we've got the 100 most requested artists here,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50so it could be singers, could be bands, could be composers,
0:03:50 > 0:03:51all different types of music.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Who was on that list of the top 100 acts that the public
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- requested for their own Desert Island Discs?- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Now, then, Mick, welcome to the show.- Hello.- Here from Leicester.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Yep. - What do you get up to in Leicester?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Mainly walking dogs, playing squash, playing golf.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11You're retired now, but what did you used to do?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- I was a butcher or a speed boner. - Or a...?- Speed boner.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Let's dwell on the butchering bit first, shall we?
0:04:19 > 0:04:20LAUGHTER
0:04:20 > 0:04:22ALEXANDER CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- How long were you a butcher for? - 41 years.- Right, you are.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28And speed boner, Mick?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's basically working off a conveyor belt.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Like you go into war, you've got chainmail gloves, aprons, hats, and
0:04:36 > 0:04:39you just bung it out as quick as you can before the next one comes along.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Wow. So that's butchering? It sounds kind of Generation Game.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I can see several reasons why it probably hasn't been on there.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- No cuddly toy, though.- Yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Do you know who I would go on Generation Game with?- Who?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52My father-in-law's sister.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54LAUGHTER
0:04:54 > 0:04:55You should! Oh, yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, Mick. What are you thinking?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Let's go for Rod Stuart.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Rod Stuart. OK, let's find out. Let's find out. Rod Stuart.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10How many people said it? Is it right?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It's on there. Very well done, Mick.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's a great answer. Look at that. 3. Very well done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Great start to the show.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24APPLAUSE
0:05:27 > 0:05:30That's a terrific answer. All sorts of his tracks were nominated
0:05:30 > 0:05:31by various members of the public.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- He was actually the 70th most popular artist on the list.- Very good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Thanks, Richard. Now, Bill. Welcome to the show. What do you do, Bill?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- I'm retired now. - What did you do, Bill?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I used to be an electrical technician.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48That's how I finished up, as an electrical technician.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What do you fill your time with these days?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Walking, along with Josie.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57We lead a walking group, partly in Rochdale, every Thursday.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- We're all there, about 30 of us. - That's fun. How far do you walk?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- To the pub or... - Two and a half miles.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It's a health walk, it's not a rambles.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- You know, it's just a health walk. - Good stuff.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- So, Bill, what are you going to go for?- Er... Oh. I...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- I'll say David Bowie.- OK. David Bowie.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Let's see if it's right,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24It's right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Well, Rod Stuart was 3. David Bowie?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Oh, look at that! 3 as well!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:38A great start to the round. Look at that. Two 3s to get us going.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39A terrific answer.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42He was actually the 12th most popular artist on that list,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- a huge amount of requests for David Bowie songs.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Now then, Pam, welcome. Welcome to Pointless.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What do you get up to, Pam?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Well, I'm retired now, but I used to teach.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- I was a junior school teacher. - Excellent.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- How long did you do that for? - 30 years.- And what do you do now?
0:06:59 > 0:07:05I do lots of things, but mainly embroidery, play squash,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- manage a netball team. - Manage a netball team?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- How often do you do that? Is that a weekly thing, once a week?- Yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- How are they doing?- Not too bad.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- We've just gone up to the first league.- Good for you!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Good for them as well, I should say. What are they called?- Shadows.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Shadows.- Yes.- OK, Pam. Desert Island Discs artists.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Phil Collins.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Phil Collins. OK, let's see if that right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Phil Collins.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Oh, no!- Oh, no!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- No! Phil Collins! Not on the list. So, he's not coming in.- No.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44100 points that scores you, Pam, I'm sorry.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I feel sorry for Phil Collins.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Yeah, I'm quite surprised that he's not on the list, but he isn't.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It's a sort of fashionable thing. Phil Collins probably just not...
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- you know, time for a reappraisal of the Collins, maybe.- Do you think?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Yeah. He's recorded a lot. He was very popular.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02He's just become a figure of fun.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Now, Sally. Welcome, Sally. Great to have you here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- What do you do, Sally? - I'm a graphic designer.- That's fun.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- What sort of things do you design? - Pretty much everything -
0:08:15 > 0:08:18logos, branding, adverts, magazines.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What's your proudest design so far?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26I actually don't think I could talk about that on television.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I used to work for an infamous company,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31so I don't think I can tell you, really.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Was it a speed boning company?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LAUGHTER
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Close, actually.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41OK. We'll draw a veil over that, Sally. What are your hobbies?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I like to travel mostly, so whenever I can get away,
0:08:45 > 0:08:46that's my favourite thing to do.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Where's your favourite place to travel?- The Greek islands.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Excellent. Have you been to all of them?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- No, but it's on my list of things to do before I die.- Good stuff.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK, so, Sally, what are you going to go for?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Well, I thought
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I ought to go for a girlie to address the balance a bit, but
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I think, in view of the last one, which I'm surprised about,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm going to play what I hope is fairly safe and try Elton John.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Elton John, says Sally.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OK, let's see if that's right,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Elton John.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's right.
0:09:24 > 0:09:2511.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26APPLAUSE
0:09:28 > 0:09:2911 for Elton John.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Back in safe territory. Well played, Sally.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35He's 43rd on the list, Elton John.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I would've thought he'd have been higher.- Yeah. Only 43rd.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Some of the songs he's done. - All right. There we go.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Thanks very much. Halfway through the round.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Let's take a look at those scores. 3, our best score of that pass.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Mick, well done, Bill, well done.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That puts you in a very strong position.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Then up to 11, Sally and Sarah there.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And Pam, robbed.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I think you was.- So do I.- Yeah!
0:09:55 > 0:09:56SHE CHUCKLES
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And Phil, I know you're watching. I think you was robbed.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02100 points there, I'm afraid that's very unfair but, Sylvie,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I know you will have a great answer.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Maybe that will be enough to keep you in the game, who knows?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16So, Sarah, we are looking for artists who were the most
0:10:16 > 0:10:19requested by the public for their own Desert Island Discs.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Now, then, Sarah, welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- What do you do, Sarah?- I work for a telecoms company in finance.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- In finance. And you're from Newbury?- Yes, I am.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I'm going to guess which telecoms company that is.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Also, Sarah, I think I read that you carried...
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- You were an Olympic torch bearer. - Yes, I was in 2012.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I was very lucky to be nominated to do that and I got to run
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- through Andover which was fantastic, it was a wonderful day.- Very good.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48And you kept your torch?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I did, yes, and when my friends come around,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52they do run around the garden carrying it
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- and having their photographs taken. - Excellent.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Now, Sarah, there you are on 11.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The high scorers, Sylvie and Pam, on 100.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, yes, 88 or less sees you through.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I do listen to it but I'm trying to think which ones would be
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- most popular so I'm going to say The Eagles.- The Eagles.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Oh, there was a murmur or appreciation.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I think that's the first one of those we've had.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18That's good, well done. The Eagles. There's your red line.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Get below that and you are into Round Two.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Let's see how many people said The Eagles.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25It's right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And you're through, well done.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Oh, very well done indeed!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Sarah, that's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41That takes the total up to £2,500.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at 11.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Very well done indeed.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Brilliant, Sarah, very well played.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now, it's like people aren't strangers at all, isn't it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's like we've known them for all our lives.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That's really broken the ice.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- That's lovely, I think everyone's getting on now.- Yeah, I think so.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- OK, now then, Sylvie, welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And you and Pam know each other through embroidery, is that right?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Yes.- So, where did you meet and how?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well, I moved up to live in Shropshire
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and joined the local branch of the Embroiderers' Guild
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and that's where I met Pam, that was nine years ago.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19OK. Well, Sylvie, there you are, you're the high scorers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22If you are to get through, it will involve you scoring less than
0:12:22 > 0:12:273 and one of these two remaining pairs scoring 100.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- So, think The Eagles.- Well, I was going to say The Rolling Stones.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I was going to say, "Think The Eagles, Sylvie."
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- SYLVIE LAUGHS - The Rolling Stones.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- OK, a little-heard-of band.- Sorry!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Let's see if our 100 people remembered The Rolling Stones.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46No red line for you, Sylvie, as you are the high scorers
0:12:46 > 0:12:49but let's just see where The Rolling Stones end up.
0:12:56 > 0:12:5833.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00APPLAUSE
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Takes your total up to 133.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Yeah, seventh on the list, I'm afraid, Sylvie,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07so a very popular answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Thanks very much indeed. Now, Josie, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Great to have you here. What do you get up to, Josie?
0:13:16 > 0:13:23All sorts. I do health walks with Bill, I like reading, game shows.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Didn't you meet on a health walk? - We did, yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28See, that's how healthy these walks are, that's brilliant. Very good.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Now, good news, you are through to the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Even if you score 100 points, you are through.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34But I think you'll have a good answer.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Well, mine went...because The Eagles are my favourite
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- so I'll go for Bon Jovi. - Bon Jovi says Josie.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43No red line as you're already through
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but let's see how many of our 100 people said Bon Jovi.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Oh, no.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, that can make Phil Collins feel a bit better.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Bon Jovi also not in that top 100.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 103. Wow.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I know. Yeah, I think that's a good guess to take, though,
0:14:02 > 0:14:07when you're through to the next round anyway, but not in that top 100.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Stuart, welcome to the show. From the Isle of Wight?- Yes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12So, when did you leave Leicester?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Erm, I left Leicester in '93 to go to university so it's a while ago.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- A while ago and what do you do? - I'm a youth worker.- Good for you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- And what are your hobbies?- I play in a band so...- What's the band?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I play bass guitar in a rock covers band on the Isle of Wight.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- What are you called? - Skin Deep.- Skin Deep.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34And I also sing, mainly backing vocals,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- but I do sing lead vocal on one track.- What's your track?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Purple Rain by Prince.- OK.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Now, then, Stuart...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, there's one answer, obviously, you could give.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- That was my safe answer, I thought, until a couple went...- Why not?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- You're through anyway. - I'm going for an obscure one.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Go for a pointless one. Come on.- I'm going to go for XTC.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55XTC says Stuart.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58No red line for you as you are already through but let's see
0:14:58 > 0:15:00if XTC are on that board.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05No. Great band, though.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Slightly niche for Desert Island Discs there.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11100 points takes your total up to 103.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Yeah, sorry, Stuart, not on the list.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14When you hear some of these pointless answers,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17you'll realise you went too obscure but great to have them
0:15:17 > 0:15:18mentioned when you're through anyway.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Erm, let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So, all of these on the top 100 list.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Bruce Springsteen would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Elbow would have been a pointless answer. Holst.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Louis Armstrong would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37Nirvana, Otis Redding. You could have had Radiohead, REM.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Susan Boyle is on that list. There's lots of others.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43You could have had Bob Marley, Dire Straits, Shostakovich,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Mendelssohn, Joy Division, Kate Bush, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53The Cure, The Jam, The Stone Roses - all of those were pointless answers.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Also, Tom Waits and Van Morrison.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57There's a huge amount of pointless answers on that list.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Poor old Phil Collins not on the list.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Genesis would have scored you one point.- Aw-w!
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Genesis would have been the best answer
0:16:04 > 0:16:08we got from anybody in the round, would have been a terrific answer.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Um, so, that's nice for Phil at least, that he was represented.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Yeah, he's in there. - Let's take a look at the top three,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We've heard one of them already.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22In third, it was Beethoven with 29.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Then the Stones as we've already heard who scored 33.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29And at the top, of course, The Beatles with 46.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32John Lennon also on the list in his own right with 3 points.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with
0:16:36 > 0:16:39a high score of 133, I'm sorry, Sylvie and Pam, it is you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Listen, the good news is we see you again next time.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44We look forward to that very much indeed but in the meantime,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46thanks very much, Sylvie and Pam.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48APPLAUSE
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Well, three pairs remain.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Obviously at the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to
0:16:59 > 0:17:01another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Sally and Sarah, so far, all the evidence is suggesting that going on
0:17:05 > 0:17:08a game show with your father-in-law's sister
0:17:08 > 0:17:09is a brilliant thing to do.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Absolutely.- Josie and Bill, Stuart and Mick, identical scores - 103.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16So, yes, who knows what will happen in this round
0:17:16 > 0:17:17but best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It's football. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:17:25 > 0:17:26and who's going second?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43On each pass, we're going to show you six nicknames of big teams,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46teams that are in the Premier League or the Championship in 2013/2014,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48you just need to tell us the name of the team, please.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53If you know your football, then get an obscure one.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55If you don't know your football,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58just get out of the round with as least damage done as possible.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Very good indeed, so we are looking for the name of the football teams
0:18:01 > 0:18:03that have these nicknames.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Here's our first board of six and it reads like this...
0:18:07 > 0:18:10ALEXANDER READS NICKNAMES
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Stuart, you are to go first.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Well, it's a no-brainer for me, really,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27because being from Leicester then I will have Foxes,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Leicester City.- Leicester City, the Foxes, says Stuart.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Let's see if that's right
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Leicester.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36It's right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:4135.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- 35 for Leicester City. - Yeah, that fell quite nicely, Stuart.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48You can tell he's a football fan,
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- he wouldn't even dream of going for a more obscure one.- Yeah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56They're called the Foxes cos back in the '50s their players used to
0:18:56 > 0:18:58go through people's bins at night(!)
0:19:01 > 0:19:04They didn't really. They didn't really.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Thanks very much indeed. Bill?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- How do you find this board? - Not too bad, actually.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'll go for the Owls, Sheffield Wednesday.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15The Owls, Sheffield Wednesday, says Bill.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Let's see if that's right
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and let's see how many people said Sheffield Wednesday.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It's right.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, well, it beats the Foxes.
0:19:27 > 0:19:3031 for Sheffield Wednesday.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Well played, Bill. Another good answer.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35They're called the Owls
0:19:35 > 0:19:38because they're from the Owlerton district of Sheffield.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42OK, now, Sally, you are the last person to have this board.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Do you fancy talking us through all of the answers left up there?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Not even remotely. This is the worst board I could possibly have.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't even know if this is a football team,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54but I'm trying to piece the words together.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Is there a football team called Stoke City
0:19:57 > 0:19:58and would it be the Potters?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Stoke City, says Sally. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03How many people said Stoke City?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's right. Very well done indeed, Sally.
0:20:10 > 0:20:1147.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Great news for you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Great news for Stuart, no longer the highest scorer there on 35.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Very well done. - That was very clever, wasn't it?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well played, Sally. Very nicely done indeed.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Named obviously there from the potteries,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27so they're called the Potters. They used to be called the Speedboners.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29That used to be their nickname.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Now let's fit in the rest of these. The Canaries you'll know.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Norwich City.- Yep. That's another big scorer, though.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Would've scored you 58 points. The Cherries, it's Bournemouth.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Would've scored you 16.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45The best answer on the board, though, is the Glovers,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and that's Yeovil Town and would've scored you 5 points.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So very well done if you said that at home.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:55 > 0:20:5831, the best score of that pass, Bill. Very well done indeed.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Then up to 35 where we find Stuart and Mick.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Then 47, Sally and Sarah, you're out in front there, but Sally...
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Phew! Very well done indeed.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Could've been a lot worse, so very good deduction there.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Sarah, how's your football knowledge?- I'll tell you shortly.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You'll have first pick of the board, so good luck with that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We're going to put six more football club nicknames up on the board,
0:21:25 > 0:21:26and here they come.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28We have got...
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Now then, Sarah, remember you're looking for the name
0:21:43 > 0:21:45of the football teams that have these nicknames.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46You're going to try
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm not amazing at this, and my brother will crucify me, but
0:21:53 > 0:21:58I will go with one I think is right, which is the Royals and Reading.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Reading, says Sarah, for the Royals. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You're on 47, you're the highest scorers. No red line.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Let's see how far down the column you can get with Reading.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09It's right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Good answer. 17.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20The lowest score so far, in fact, Sarah, so well done. 64 your total.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Well played, Sarah. Terrific answer. Used to be known as the Biscuit Men,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27cos the Huntley & Palmer factory was in Reading.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29When it closed down they became the Royals.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I know which I prefer.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Erm, Josie. Josie, you now have a target.
0:22:35 > 0:22:3764 is the highest score.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41You have to score 32 or less to get into the head-to-head.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Come on, Josie.- I haven't a clue!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Er, I can only guess cos I'm hopeless at this.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48The Swans, Swansea.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51The Swans, Swansea. OK. Here comes your red line.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54If you get below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's see if Swansea is right.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Look at that! Very well done indeed, Josie.
0:23:03 > 0:23:0540.
0:23:05 > 0:23:0771 is your total.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Yep, Swansea City, well played.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14There's a very interesting story behind their nickname.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Yeah, there isn't. It's the beginning of their name, see?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Yeah, I should've asked.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I mean, was Yeovil the centre of an ancient glove trade?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Was that where...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- gloves were made?- Yep.- Good.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- It's clever how they do it, isn't it? - Yeah, it is. It is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Don't they just pick a name out of a hat?- No.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Except for the Hatters, that was picked out of a hat.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Mick, now, you have a target. 71 is the highest score.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48So 35 will keep you in the game.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Talk us through the board, fill in all the blanks if you like.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Being a Leicester City fan I've seen most of them,
0:23:53 > 0:23:59so I should know them all. Seagulls are Brighton. Seasiders, Blackpool.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01The Saints, Southampton. The Black Cats, Sunder-land.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- I'll go for the Black Cats, Sunderland.- Sunderland.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I like the way Mick said Sunder-land.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Like Alice in Sunder-land.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12There is your red line.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14If you get below that you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sunderland.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20It's right.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Very well done indeed. Look at that. 28.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29That's seeing you through. Takes your total up to 63.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Well played, Mick.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Yes, they only changed their nickname to the Black Cats very recently.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37They had an online poll to decide their new name.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38You got all of the other ones right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Let's take a look if you chose the right one, though. 28 for Sunderland.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The Saints, Southampton, that's a bigger score.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That would've scored you 51.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49The Seagulls, you're right, it's Brighton.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51That would've scored you 33.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54And a slightly lower score if you had said the Seasiders.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58It is Blackpool and that would've scored you 22 points.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01So Reading is the best answer on that board. Well played.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06At the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading home
0:25:06 > 0:25:07with a high score of 71 - Josie and Bill.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10But very good deduction there, Josie. Well done.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You dug yourself out of a hole there.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14We will look forward to seeing you again next time,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16where I'm sure you'll do even better.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Josie and Bill, in the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23But for Sally and Sarah and Stuart and Mick,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Congratulations, Sally and Sarah, Stuart and Mick,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34you are now one step closer to the final
0:25:34 > 0:25:38and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So we now have to decide who's going to play for that money,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and to do that you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49The difference, of course,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51is that you're now allowed to have a chat before you
0:25:51 > 0:25:53give your answers, and the first pair to win two questions
0:25:53 > 0:25:55will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57So it is father and son versus
0:25:57 > 0:26:01niece-in-law and father-in-law's sister.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Very, very best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I think this is going to be an excellent head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Let's play it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Famous Janets, Richard.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22We're going to show you five pictures now of famous people called Janet.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Can you tell us the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28OK, so let's pop some Janets up on the board, and here they are.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Five of them.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49There we go.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Five Janets.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Sally and Sarah, you've played best throughout the show
0:26:55 > 0:26:56so you will go first.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01(You don't know who C is, do you?)
0:27:06 > 0:27:10We're going to go for B, Janet Brown.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13B, Janet Brown.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15B, Janet Brown, say Sally and Sarah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18OK, Stuart and Mick, all the other Janets are yours.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Well, I have no idea who two of them are.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I know D and E. Did you know...?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- You can talk about all of them but one.- I know B and D.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27You can supply the names.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Janet Street-Porter.- And I know the E is Janet Leigh.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- That's the best one to go for. - We'll go for E, Janet Leigh.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35OK, E, Janet Leigh.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We have Janet Brown versus Janet Leigh. Sally and Sarah
0:27:38 > 0:27:41said Janet Brown. Let's see how many people said that for B.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45It's right.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Oh, very well done indeed!
0:27:51 > 0:27:5313 for Janet Brown.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's a good score.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Meanwhile, Stuart and Mick have said that E
0:28:00 > 0:28:02is Janet Leigh.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Janet Leigh.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10It's right.
0:28:12 > 0:28:1532.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18APPLAUSE
0:28:18 > 0:28:19- Well done. - 32 for Janet Leigh, which means,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Sally and Sarah, very well done,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23after one question you are up 1-nil.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Two good answers. Janet Leigh most famous for Psycho.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Janet Brown, hugely famous in the '70s and '80s
0:28:28 > 0:28:30when she was an impressionist and comedienne.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I think everybody knew D, Janet Street-Porter.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37A big scorer, though.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39She would have scored you 78 points.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44A is the wonderful, twice nominated for Oscars, British actress,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Janet McTeer. She would have scored you 3.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Sally and Sarah, I heard in your conferring
0:28:50 > 0:28:52you might have had a name for C.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Yeah, we thought it might have been Janet Reger.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57The lingerie magnate, Janet Reger.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It is Janet Reger and it was a pointless answer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00AUDIENCE: Ah!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Very well done if you said that at home.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I was just enjoying the idea of a lingerie "magnet".
0:29:06 > 0:29:07LAUGHTER
0:29:07 > 0:29:09If you could invent one of those...
0:29:09 > 0:29:10HE LAUGHS
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- ..you could retire tomorrow, couldn't you?- Couldn't you just.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Thank you very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Stuart and Mick, you get to answer this one first
0:29:19 > 0:29:21but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Very best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:24 > 0:29:25rappers.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Stuart looking very happy with that(!)
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Richard...
0:29:31 > 0:29:34We'll show you five names of famous rap and hip-hop artists now
0:29:34 > 0:29:38but we've missed out alternate letters. Can you fill those gaps?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Let's reveal our five rappers and here they are.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55I'll read those one last time.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Stuart and Mick, you'll go first.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09- Do you know any?- Two.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I'm going to go for Dr Dre,
0:30:18 > 0:30:19which is the fourth one.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23OK, fourth one, Dr Dre, say Stuart and Mick.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Sally and Sarah,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26talk us through the board if you can.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I think the top one is Nicki Minaj,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31then Eminem, Queen Latifah,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33but I don't know who the bottom one is.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36As to which one would be the best?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37The top one, do you think?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I might go Queen Latifah.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42You're going to go Queen Latifah?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So we have Dr Dre versus Queen Latifah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So, Stuart and Mick said Dr Dre.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53It's right.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Good answer, 12.
0:31:05 > 0:31:0812. Well, Sarah, you knew all but
0:31:08 > 0:31:10one of those.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I wonder if you picked the right one to beat 12, let's find out.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Queen Latifah, how many people said that?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Ooh, 31!
0:31:25 > 0:31:27APPLAUSE
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well done, Stuart and Mick back in the game.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- After two questions, it's 1-all. - 12 points, a low score for Dr Dre.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35There's an answer you knew that would have seen you straight through
0:31:35 > 0:31:37to the final and that's Nicki Minaj.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It would have scored you 4 points, it would have been a terrific answer.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Eminem, a big scorer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Eminem would have scored you 54.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'll bet good money you do know the bottom one as well.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50That's 19 points for...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Kanye West.- Kanye West.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57It comes down to our third question, the decider. Whoever wins this
0:31:57 > 0:31:59goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Archaeology, Richard.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09We'll give you five clues now to facts about archaeology.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:11 > 0:32:13will go through to play for the jackpot. Good luck.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17We have got...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I'll read those one last time.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Now, Sally and Sarah, you will go first.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08THEY WHISPER
0:33:08 > 0:33:10(Do you know any of the others?)
0:33:12 > 0:33:15We are going to go for the top one.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19The archaeologist that led the team that discovered Tutankhamen's tomb,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I believe it was Howard Carter?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Howard Carter, says Sally and Sarah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Now, Stuart and Mick, the board is yours.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Do you fancy talking through all the other answers?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32The first one, that'll win it, that's brilliant.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I only know the fictional archaeologist
0:33:36 > 0:33:37played by Harrison Ford
0:33:37 > 0:33:39in Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Stuart, any others...?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I know Tomb Raider, but I think probably
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Indiana Jones.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I think we'll go Tomb Raider.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50OK, you're going to go Tomb Raider.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53So Howard Carter was the first answer.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Sally and Sarah said Howard Carter,
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Let's see if that's right,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0814.
0:34:11 > 0:34:1314 for Howard Carter, well done.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Stuart and Mick have gone for Tomb Raider,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18the Lara Croft video game franchise.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25It's right.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29- 65 for Tomb Raider.- Well done.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Which means, Sally and Sarah, after three questions,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37you're through to the final, 2-1. Very well done indeed.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Sally and Sarah were unbeatable.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Howard Carter, best answer on the board, so very well played.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Let's take a look through the rest.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46You would have got fewer points for Harrison Ford.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49It is Indiana Jones, it would have scored you 39 points.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53The Inca citadel is Machu Picchu,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55scored 22.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And not a million miles off Howard Carter,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00the ship burial site, do you know that?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Sutton Hoo.- Sutton Hoo would have scored 15 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Well worth a visit if you're near Woodbridge in Suffolk. 15.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13So the pair leaving us at the end of the head to head round are Stuart and Mick. But that was quite close,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16had it been the other way around, you knew Howard Carter.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18But the good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20We'll look forward to that very much indeed,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22but very well played and thanks very much, Stuart and Mick!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:26 > 0:35:29But for Sally and Sarah, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Congratulations, Sally and Sarah, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:47 > 0:35:52and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54APPLAUSE
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I think we've tested you, we've tested you very, very well
0:35:58 > 0:36:02and you've done fantastically throughout the show, some moments of
0:36:02 > 0:36:04real inspiration there.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So you get to choose your last category from four options.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And there they are. We have got...
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Oscar winning film directors?- Yes, OK. Yes, please.- We'll go for Oscar winning film directors.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Oscar winning film directors it is. - Three different questions,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28we're looking for any film made by three wonderful directors.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Any film made for cinema release
0:36:31 > 0:36:35for which Billy Wilder received a director's credit.
0:36:35 > 0:36:41We're looking for any film made for cinema release for which Frank Capra received a director's credit.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Or Ang Lee. So any film directed by Billy Wilder, Frank Capra or Ang Lee,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50up to October 2013.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Very, very best of luck.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:55 > 0:36:58and all you need to win the jackpot is for one of those answers
0:36:58 > 0:37:00to be Pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Do you know any films directed by Ang Lee?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Um, I think he did House Of Flying Daggers,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13but I'm not 100% sure.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Frank Capra, It's A Wonderful Life.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- And Billy Wilder?- Some Like It Hot?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21But I can't see that being terribly pointless.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24But it's the only Billy Wilder film I know.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I think that's right. Do you know any others for Billy Wilder?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Not for Billy Wilder but I'm trying
0:37:29 > 0:37:31to think if Ang Lee did The Life Of Pi.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- That might not be... - That might be too recent.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- The one you mentioned before. - The House Of Flying Daggers.- Yeah.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- I think it is.- I think Life Of Pi is going to be high.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Too recent. Shall we go for one from each?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Yes, go for the bottom one, you said Life Of... What was it?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49House Of Flying Daggers, I think,
0:37:49 > 0:37:50- I think.- House Of Flying Daggers.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52And the Frank Capra?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Frank Capra, I'm sure, is It's A Wonderful Life.
0:37:55 > 0:37:5610 seconds left.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Shall we go for one from each and do those three?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Some Like It Hot, but I think that's going to be high.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- We'll give an answer.- OK.- OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05OK?
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Yes.- There's your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12We're going to go for one from each category,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16so for films directed by Billy Wilder we're going to say Some Like It Hot.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Some Like It Hot.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Frank Capra, It's A Wonderful Life.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21It's A Wonderful Life.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24And this one is a guess, but Ang Lee, House Of Flying Daggers.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26House Of Flying Daggers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Flying Daggers, I think.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34OK, House Of Flying Daggers we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Billy... Some Like It Hot is going to be quite...
0:38:36 > 0:38:37- Some Like it Hot.- ..quite high.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42We have got...
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Very, very best of luck.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Your first answer was Some Like it Hot, you thought
0:38:51 > 0:38:54this was probably your least likely to be pointless. But who knows?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- If it's right.- Maybe everyone suddenly forgot about Some Like It Hot.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Maybe it will go all the way down and you will win that jackpot of £2,500.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04If you do, what will you be doing with it, Sally?
0:39:04 > 0:39:10I shall put it towards doing some more of my Greek islands.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- Very good. Sarah?- A party.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- A party.- Yes.- Pointless party.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18A Pointless party. A nice glass of wine or two.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20That would be a VERY nice glass of wine!
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Good stuff. Very best of luck. Your first answer is Some Like It Hot,
0:39:23 > 0:39:25in this case we are looking for Billy Wilder films,
0:39:25 > 0:39:29let's see if it's right. If it's pointless, it will win you the jackpot.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32For £2,500, let's see how many people said Some Like It Hot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36It's right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40This now has to go all the way down to zero for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Down it goes through the 40s, into the 30s...
0:39:43 > 0:39:4520s....
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Teens, 17!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48APPLAUSE
0:39:49 > 0:39:5117 for Some Like It Hot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Your second answer, in this case it was a Frank Capra film,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03and you said It's A Wonderful Life.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08Again, this has to be pointless, so for £2,500, how many people said It's A Wonderful Life?
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Again, it's right. Your first answer, Some Like It Hot, took us down to 17.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Your second answer, It's A Wonderful Life,
0:40:19 > 0:40:20takes us down past 17,
0:40:20 > 0:40:2214!
0:40:22 > 0:40:24APPLAUSE
0:40:27 > 0:40:32Again, not a pointless answer, but congratulations on ordering those two in the right way.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34That was very impressive.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Everything is riding on your third and final answer, House Of Flying Daggers.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42You are not 100% sure this is an Ang Lee film.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45But you've got a hunch.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Maybe that's enough, let's find out.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52For £2,500, how many people said House Of Flying Daggers was an Ang Lee film?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oooh, bad luck!
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Never mind!- Bad luck.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02APPLAUSE
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I'm sorry, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find
0:41:06 > 0:41:10that all-important pointless answer, which means you don't win £2,500.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13That will roll over on to the next show. We've loved having you,
0:41:13 > 0:41:14and you've done so well.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Great performances throughout so well done.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18You take home a pointless trophy each as well.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20We came for the trophy!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- It's something else for guests to run round the garden with. - Absolutely.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Excellent. Richard?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Terrifically well played, House Of Flying Daggers was Yimou Zhang, it wasn't Ang Lee.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it's got echoes of it in the title.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41That would have scored you 6 points. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45This page of Billy Wilder films we're about to see, this weekend
0:41:45 > 0:41:47if you watch those four films you'd have a wonderful time.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56There's lots of other good films that are pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Lost Weekend is a pointless answer. Ace In The Hole is a pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Everything apart from Some Like It Hot -
0:42:01 > 0:42:04The Apartment, Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard and Avant.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Every other of his films is a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08So well done if you said one.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Let's take a look at Capra.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Mr Deeds Goes To Town was a pointless answer, another very big one.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19And Ang Lee.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Ride With The Devil, his first big hit,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28The Wedding Banquet, was a surprise hit, really made his name.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29That was a pointless answer.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Also Lust, Caution was a pointless answer, and Taking Woodstock.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33So very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37I think Madchester you might have done quite well on but you did well on this anyway
0:42:37 > 0:42:41and some great films up there to check out, I would say.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Sally and Sarah,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thank you so much for playing, Sally and Sarah!
0:42:49 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Sadly, Sally and Sarah didn't win our jackpot,
0:42:55 > 0:43:00which means it rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £3,500.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
