0:00:16 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hi, I'm Darren, this is Jonathan,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40we're friends and ex-colleagues and we're from the city of Hull.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm John, this is my sister, Helen,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47we're brother and sister and we are from Rawtenstall in Lancashire.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Couple number three?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Lola and this is Alice
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and we're friends and flatmates from London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And finally couple number four?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Julie, this is my best friend, Sue,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00and we're from Nottingham.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We'll get to know more about each of you later on in the show.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14He only lasted a day in the last series of Celebrity Big Brother,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16kept hitting his head on the diary room.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - Once again, we've got four new pairs.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- I know.- Makes me a bit shy, as you know.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- But we'll get to know them fairly soon, won't we?- We will.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We've had a couple of very different endgames recently, haven't we?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37We had David and David the other day
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and they got three answers, all of which scored one point.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Three in a row, one point each. And then, on the last show,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44we had John and James, who were very bright,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and got through to the final very well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48They had to come with seven-letter answers to things,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51so seven-letter chemical elements, seven-letter capital cities.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- And two of their answers had six letters in them.- Yeah, I think...
0:01:54 > 0:01:58I think there's a syndrome of people who count "O" as two letters.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I think something was definitely up, because, as I say,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02they managed everything else very well.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04But that's what you've got to follow today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So, whoever's in the jackpot round today,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09you can't do much worse, that's the good news.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now, all our questions on today's show have been put to 100 people
0:02:13 > 0:02:16before the show, and our contestants here are looking for the answers
0:02:16 > 0:02:18that those 100 people couldn't find.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Of course, what you're trying to find is a pointless answer, that being an answer that nobody gave.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26As you'll have gathered,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28John and James didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33so today's jackpot starts off at £4,500.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:46 > 0:02:48at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51so try and make sure that's not you. Best of luck.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It's Tennis. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Who's going to second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Year end world number one tennis players. Richard?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Yeah, we're looking for the name of any female or male tennis player
0:03:22 > 0:03:25who've been the world number one at the end of any given year.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29The male rankings started in 1973, the female rankings in 1975.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So anyone who's topped the world rankings at the end of any year
0:03:32 > 0:03:35since then, please. And that's up to the end of 2013.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Thanks very much indeed. So, Darren, welcome.- Hi. Thank you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Welcome to the show.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Now, you and Jonathan, you said, are ex-colleagues.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Yeah, that's right - we used to work together at a radio station.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- What did you do in the radio station?- I'm a radio presenter.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- You're a radio presenter? - Yeah, and he used to work in sales. - I was in sales.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Now that's... Do you know what?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'm going to say, for a radio presenter, you have a very nice...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I mean, obviously, all radio presenters have good voices.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But usually when we have radio presenters on,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02before you've even asked, you can tell...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- RADIO VOICE:- ..because they talk like that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What a relief it is you don't, is all I'm saying.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I thought you were going to say I've got a face for radio.- I was never...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- No!- Never.- And we don't talk like that in Hull.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15No... Well...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- RADIO VOICE:- ..even with the Hull accent, quite often, there's a...
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Anyway, you don't. I think that's good.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Now then, Darren.- Yes.- Tennis.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24It's not bad. It's not bad, actually.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Could be a lot worse. I'm going to have a punt
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and it could be a risky one, but I going to say Gustavo Kuerten.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Gustavo Kuerten.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It's a good answer, look at that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Down it goes to 1, Darren!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Hats off to you, what a brilliant start to the show,
0:04:53 > 0:04:551 point for Gustavo Kuerten.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58That's a terrific answer. Great start to the show, very well played.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02He had 43 weeks at number one, Gustavo Kuerten, he's Brazilian.
0:05:03 > 0:05:0643, that's even longer than Bryan Adams, isn't it?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It is, that's two weeks longer than Bryan Adams.- Brilliant.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13You can get postage stamps in Brazil with Gustavo Kuerten's face in it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- You can also get CURTAINS with... - I was going to say!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Half a face on each one and then it comes together.- There you go.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- That's a good idea, isn't it? - That's good.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24OK, thank you very much indeed. Now then, Helen...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Helen, welcome to the show, good to have you here, from Rawtenstall.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Yes.- I've never been to Rawtenstall, but I know someone from Rawtenstall.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Yeah.- She was called Ursula, which is a Rawtenstall accent
0:05:34 > 0:05:36is about the best name you could wish for.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- LANCASHIRE ACCENT:- "Ursuler."
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Anyway, enough about Ursula. Hi, if you're watching.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Now, Helen, what do you do?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- I'm an assistant footwear buyer for a wholesaler.- That's quite fun.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- How long have you done that for? - About seven years.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54You have to predict trends and things like that.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Yeah, we have to sort of look at the trends online
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and the retailers on the high streets
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and predict what's going to be the fashion.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Richard...Richard is a slave to his foot fashion.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08What tips can you give him?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Fortunately, I don't buy men's footwear. Only ladies'.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14No, that's not going to rule him out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I tend not buy men's footwear, either, I tend to...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I think, maybe for you, not platforms.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22OK, remember that, not platforms.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Helen, tennis.- Not too bad.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I think I'm going to go for...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Pat Cash.- Pat Cash, says Helen.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Let's see if that's right
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Oh, Helen. Oh, I'm sorry.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42- No Pat Cash on that list. - Never mind.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yeah, sorry, Helen, he's never been world number one,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Pat Cash, I'm afraid.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53That's why you won't find his face on a stamp. They won't have it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- They should have his face on money, though.- Yeah!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57HE PATS HIS POCKET
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- You saw what I did there? - Oh, "pat cash"? Oh, very good.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01I was thrilled with that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Thank you very much indeed. Now, Lola, welcome.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06A very warm welcome to you. What do you do, Lola?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'm a sales manager for an events company.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Oh, that's fun. What kind of events?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Um, stag, hen and activity weekends.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh, that's even better. I thought you were going to say conferences
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and I was going to go, "Oh, no..." But stag, hen....
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Do you do them in this country
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- or do you go abroad to the former Eastern Bloc?- We even do Vegas.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23We do Eastern Europe, a lot of Eastern Europe,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25stags like it out there, obviously.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Poor Eastern Europe.- What do you mean, "obviously"?- Well...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the women are very beautiful.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- So I hear.- Are there many people doing that?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Are there lots of companies that organise that sort of thing?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39There are, but we're the only good one.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40LAUGHTER
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Lola, tennis.- Yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Not generally two words that go together.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm going to say Venus Williams.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Venus Williams, says Lola.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53A lot of nods along the line there.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Venus Williams.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Oh, no!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04A lot of wrong nods. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Another 100 points. But that's nice, you've got some company up there.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's not like there's just one of you up on 100.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's opened the game up a little bit. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yeah, I think that's unlucky. Venus Williams, obviously,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19very well-known, but hasn't been number one very often in her career,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23certainly hasn't been number one at the end of a season, I'm afraid.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- OK. Now, Sue.- Hello.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28A very warm welcome to you, lovely to have you here from Nottingham.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Yes.- And what do you get up to in Nottingham, Sue?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I'm a reception at Nottingham University's student union.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Do you love it?- Love it.- How long have you done it for?- 12 years.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Oh, I bet they love you, too.- Mm...
0:08:39 > 0:08:40THEY LAUGH
0:08:40 > 0:08:42But you get on well with all the students?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Yeah, go clubbing with them now and again.- You don't?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I do.- That's fantastic.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50We have a student nightclub and we have...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Me and my friend, who I work with,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55we have our own booth, which is roped off.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I thought you said, "Our own booze."
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- Special.- We have that, too.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03They make it themselves, a little still round the back.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Anyway, Sue, tennis.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Are we happy with tennis?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I think I'm all right with tennis,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11but I'm going to go for an obvious answer,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'm going to go for Roger Federer.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Roger Federer, says Sue. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18let's see how many people said it. Roger Federer.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Well, it's right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Our scores are quite extreme.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25High score is 100, low score is 1,
0:09:25 > 0:09:2843 for Roger Federer. Almost exactly halfway.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30APPLAUSE
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Very well done, Sue.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Yeah, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39he was world number one at the end of the year.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Do you think by 2009 he was just a bit bored...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yeah, of course he was. - ..of being number one?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48It's tiresome, isn't it? I think that's why occasionally he dips down a bit, just so he can go back up.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Keep it spicy.- Exactly right. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- 1, Darren, what about that? - Thank you.- Very well done.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That puts you and Jonathan, I would say,
0:09:59 > 0:10:00absolutely certainly in the next round.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Something would have to go catastrophically wrong
0:10:03 > 0:10:05and catastrophically right for someone else
0:10:05 > 0:10:08for that not to be the case, so very well done.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Then we travel up to 43 - Sue, very well done.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Good answer there,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15then 100 for Lola and Alice 100 for Helen and John.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16So, yes, Alice,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17John...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20it's a tennis-off between the pair of you,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21good luck with that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Back down the line - second players, step up to the podium.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Julie, a very warm welcome to you, too.- Hello!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And what do you do up in Nottingham?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Oh, I'm retired now, I was an admin assistant for a sign company.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- A sign company?- Yes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Any old sign?- Oh, yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Just... A sign to go above shops?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Interior, exterior, shops, businesses, hotels...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48OK, Julie. Well, there you are on 43.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Good work from Sue in the first pass.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52The high scorers are 100.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- 56 is what you need to score, 56 or less.- OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I think you can do it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Oh, I'll go back a few years, I'll say John McEnroe?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03John McEnroe, says Julie. There is your red line.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Let's see if John McEnroe can get you below it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09It's right.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Very well done, look at that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Whoa.- 22!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Surprisingly low for John McEnroe but it gets you up to 65,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23sees you very comfortably through to the next round, well done.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well played, Julie. Four years in a row in the early '80s,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- John McEnroe ended the year world number one.- Thanks very much.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Alice, welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Now, this is where the competition starts. What do you do, Alice?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- I am a financial journalist. - And how long have you done that for?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Four years now.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Alice, I happen to know, was Financial Journalist Of The Year.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47- No way?- Yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- That's good. - Financial Journalist Of The Year!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54That's... That's amazing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- I mean, there are a lot of financial journalists out there.- Yes.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Do you get a lot of people
0:11:59 > 0:12:02asking you to go and be a journalist for them, after that?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Winning an award definitely helps
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- with getting jobs.- Very good.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Do you have it on your by-line, does it say
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- underneath your picture? - Everywhere, yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14A picture of you holding the award, kissing the award,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- wearing it on your head.- We should get Julie to make you a big sign.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yeah, some kind of placard, that would be great.- Illuminated.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Yeah, have it above your desk. And just carry it with you everywhere.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24"Sorry, open the door."
0:12:24 > 0:12:27"Sorry about this, I don't know why I carry it."
0:12:27 > 0:12:30"I've just been given it, so I've kind of got to carry it."
0:12:30 > 0:12:33"It's actually an awful nuisance, but I don't... I just...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35"I'm attached to it."
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Listen, enough of that, let's get back to tennis.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- What are you going to go for, Alice? - I'm going to go, I think...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47..based on McEnroe being fairly low...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Just before you... Take a look at John, take a look at John.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I...- Across the court there...
0:12:52 > 0:12:53I know...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I've got a risky answer,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58but I'm going to play my middle answer.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- I'm going to say Pete Sampras. - Pete Sampras.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Yeah.- Ooh, has she ACED it?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Let's find out. Pete Sampras, how many people said that?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11No red line, obviously, cos you are the joint high scorers.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13It's right.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Still going down, 27.
0:13:21 > 0:13:2427, 127 your total. Is it enough to keep you in the game?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26He was world number one at the end of the year
0:13:26 > 0:13:29for six successive years, Pete Sampras.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Also the name of Father Dougal's rabbit in Father Ted.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Indeed! I'd forgotten about that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Now then, John.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41ALEXANDER EXHALES DEEPLY
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Let's just put all thoughts of the contest aside for a second or two.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46John, tell me what you do.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51I'm a regional surveyor for an insurance claims validation company.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So I'm people's best friend or worst enemy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Oh, I like the way you smile on "worst enemy".
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, right, so you come round after an event...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I say yea or nay, basically. Scope it up.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Right.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06But I'd imagine... Most insurers are really nice people, aren't they?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Yeah... - They'll always do what they can.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Sometimes a bad rep, but it is a genuine...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- You know, we do the right thing where... You know.- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Good stuff. Now then, tennis. 127 is the high score.
0:14:17 > 0:14:1926 or less is what you have to score, John.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's tough, this. I'm going to have to try and...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's like bingo, up here.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I've got balls, it's just whichever one comes out.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- LAUGHTER - I-I don't know either.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33JOHN LAUGHS
0:14:33 > 0:14:39I'm going to take a moderate risk and say Mark Philippoussis.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Mark Philippoussis. Helen, what do we think about Mark Philippoussis?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- It's a good shout.- It is a good shout. If it's right...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- If it's right. - ..it's a very good shout.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Let's find out if it's right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Mark Philippoussis, there's your red line, you have to get below it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Oh, no! I'm sorry, John.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Out in a blaze of glory.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you
0:15:02 > 0:15:05the maximum of 100 points, but you really had to do that, I think.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06200 is your total.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Sorry, John, the good news is though you've made
0:15:08 > 0:15:11the Financial Journalist Of The Year very, very happy.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12So that's something.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15He's never been higher than eighth, Philippoussis.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16You've both gone for Australians,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18neither of whom have ever been world number one.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20John looks a bit like a tennis player.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23You know when you're watching Wimbledon and the first round
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Andy Murray always plays the Croatian world number 87?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You think, "This'll be fine," and then the Croatian takes a set off him
0:15:28 > 0:15:32and you think, "Oh, here we go." And then Murray steamrollers him.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- I could imagine John in that role. - Do you play?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You'd be quite handy. And you'd have a lethal serve.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I used to when I was younger, not so much any more.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Oh, the John serve! - Oh, can you imagine that?!
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Fo-o-o-om!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Pow!- Aah! Oh...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Whoa!- Wow.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I think if we had a game of tennis, everyone in the studio,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53John would... Maybe not the studio, there might be some useful tennis players in the audience,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56but between the ten of us - which would be a good sport -
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I think John there would win.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I think he would, I think he would. Thank you. Now, Jonathan.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Oh, we owe Darren a vote of thanks. - We do owe Darren.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- It's a nice position to be in. - He did very well.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Now, Jonathan, you are no longer a colleague of Darren's.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12You've left the...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14No, we still keep in touch as friends.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I now work for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service
0:16:17 > 0:16:18in their press office.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Very good.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Now, Jonathan, tell me something absolutely extraordinary
0:16:23 > 0:16:25and unique about you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Er, I was born with a tooth.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30There we go, that's the one I was after.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31- Which is...- That...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Yeah, were you breast-fed?- It's...
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Yeah, I don't think my mum was overly happy about it!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Ow! I'm just thinking... That's all I'm... Yeah, mm.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It doesn't mean I've got any sort of special powers, but...
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I will be the judge of that. - You might do, you never know.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48You might.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, I was just thinking, I do want to join in this tennis game though.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- Oh, really?- With you guys.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh, you reckon yourself a little bit?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Well... The tennis is...
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I've played since I was this high up, I still coach.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00- You still coach?- You know what?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I wish I hadn't put that bet on John now.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05OK, which means you might even be better than Darren.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Let's have a pointless answer from you. There might be one in there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10He was definitely world number one,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12whether it was at the end of the year, I don't know - Marcelo Rios.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Marcelo Rios.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK, no red line for the lovely reason that you are already through.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21But let's see - Marcelo Rios, is it right, how many people said it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Oh, no! Good punt though. And fun.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And well done you for taking a bit of a risk.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30101 your total, but, yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's a perfectly good answer, he was world number one,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34not at the end of the year. I might have gone for Rios.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36A Chilean, he was.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Now, there's two pointless answers, but I'll go through the very low scorers before we get to those.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You'd have got four points for Stefan Edberg,
0:17:43 > 0:17:44three points for Andy Roddick.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47You'd have got one point for Caroline Wozniacki,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50for Mats Wilander, Lindsay Davenport, Ilie Nastase, Lleyton Hewitt -
0:17:50 > 0:17:53that would have been a very good Australian to go for, Hewitt -
0:17:53 > 0:17:54or Jim Courier.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Also Victoria Azarenka,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but there's two pointless answers, let's take a look at them.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Jelena Jankovic or Justine Henin - both of those pointless answers,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05terrific answers as well.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10In third place...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, Venus has never been world number one at the end of a year,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16but Serena has and she would have scored you 28 points.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Then we've already heard Roger Federer on 43,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21who d'you think's top there?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Anybody?- Nadal.- Nadal.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Nadal, absolutely right. Rafa Nadal.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- He would have scored you 47. - There we are.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Thank you very much. So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:18:31 > 0:18:35with their impressive high score of 200, I'm afraid John and Helen.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36But, you know,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39you took a punt, you did exactly what you needed to do, they just...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- It's quite tough, the year-end business.- Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Yeah, really tough.- Never mind.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Never mind, the good news is...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I was going to go for Lleyton Hewitt.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48We'll see you next time, look forward to that very much.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51John and Helen, thanks meanwhile. Great contestants.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53APPLAUSE
0:18:53 > 0:18:57But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59APPLAUSE
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So, three pairs remain.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Obviously, we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:19:06 > 0:19:08at the end of this round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, the lesson of that round, Julie and Sue,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- was to do as you did, nice, steady...- Yes.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Steady play, middle of the bat stuff saw you through,
0:19:17 > 0:19:18you were the low scorers that round.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22We had some fireworks at this end. Kuerten was a cracking answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Sadly, Rios incorrect, but I liked the spirit of it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And not bad at all from Lola and Alice,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30keep that up and it should be a very exciting second round.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Novels And Plays.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Fictional Families, Richard.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yeah, on each pass we're going to show you six pairs of fictional relatives.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You need to tell us the name of the play or novel they first appeared in, please.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We'll give you the year it came out in brackets as well.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08So pairs of relatives - which play or novel did they first appear in?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11There'll be six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14OK, so we're going to show you six pairs of relations on each board.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18We just want the work, novel or play that they first appeared in and here's our first board of six.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Jonathan.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I think that's the face of a man who's quietly confident.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Yeah, I think I know two or three.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I will go with the third one down and say Lady Bracknell
0:21:04 > 0:21:08and Gwendolen Fairfax is The Importance Of Being Earnest.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10The Importance Of Being Earnest, says Jonathan.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15It's right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Wow, 17. Good... Good score.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Another good answer there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Oscar Wilde's final and most enduring play...I would say.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37In 2007, a charity shop found a very rare first edition of it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- And they found it inside a handbag, rather appropriately.- No!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Yeah.- Wonderful.- Isn't that nice?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Thanks very much. Now, Alice.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- (Yes.) - Alice, what are you going to go for?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52I'm going to go for Prospero and Miranda, The Tempest.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's see if that's right, The Tempest.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Let's see how many people said it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01It is right. Well, 17, our lowest score at the moment,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03where does The Tempest end up?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Still going down... Oh, you pass it! 15, very well done, Alice!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- APPLAUSE - Good work.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Another good answer. Yeah, Prospero was Miranda's dad, or father,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16probably Shakespeare might have said.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19There we are. Now, Julie. Julie.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You're the last person to have this board.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Do you fancy taking us through it and having some thoughts?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26No, there's only one, I think.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I recognise some of the names, but I can't think of the books or plays.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32But I think Heathcliff and Linton...
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Is that Wuthering Heights? - Wuthering Heights, says Julie.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Let's see if that's right
0:22:37 > 0:22:41and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:42 > 0:22:49It's absolutely right. 17 is our high score, 15 our low. Ooh!
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Wuthering Heights.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Talking of heights...
0:22:52 > 0:22:5345.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Yeah, big score, a very famous character, of course, Heathcliff.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Been played many times.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Been played by Ralph Fiennes, Laurence Olivier and Cliff Richard.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- In the stage musical.- Yes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- He gave the definitive Heathcliff. - Didn't he? I'm told.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Now, let's look through the rest of the board.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The top one is Pride And Prejudice.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13That would have scored you 33.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Lord Marchmain and Sebastian Flyte is Brideshead Revisited.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That would have scored you 7 points.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22And the bottom one, Hazel and Fiver, is Watership Down.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25That would have scored you 13 points.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28OK, let's take a look at those scores,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30we're halfway through the round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3115 the best score of that pass,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35very well done indeed, Alice and Lola.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Then up to 17, where we find Jonathan and Darren.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38All quite close
0:23:38 > 0:23:39at the bottom end of the scoring.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41And then up to 45,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43where we find Julie and Sue.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45So, yes, you are a little bit ahead there, Sue.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47You will get first dibs on the new board though.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Very, very best of luck. We can come down the line now.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Second players, step up to the podium.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58OK, we're going to put six more pairs on the board
0:23:58 > 0:23:59and here they come.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We have got...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I'll read those again...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Now, remember, we are looking for the title of the literary work
0:24:44 > 0:24:47in which each of these pairs of relations first appeared
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and, Sue, you're going to try and find the one you think
0:24:49 > 0:24:51the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52There you are on 45,
0:24:52 > 0:24:53our highest scorer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'm not sure on any of them, but I'm going to go with Charlie Bucket
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and Grandpa Joe, and say Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02There we are.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05No red line for you as you are the high scorers but let's find out
0:25:05 > 0:25:08how many of our 100 people said Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1742.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Takes your total up to 87, Sue.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Is that going to be good enough to keep you in the game?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27It's another big score, isn't it?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yes, grandfather and grandson, Grandpa Joe and Charlie Bucket.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33In the film when... Gene Wilder played Willy Wonka, of course,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- and Roald Dahl wanted Spike Milligan. - There you go. Good.- Amazing stuff.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Yep.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Anyway, Lola. Lola, 15 is your score
0:25:43 > 0:25:47so 71 or less gets you through to the head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49How we feeling?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52OK, actually. I think I know three.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57I'm going to go Nick Carraway and Daisy Buchanan, The Great Gatsby.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The Great Gatsby, says Lola. Here comes your red line.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Get below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Will The Great Gatsby get you below it?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Very well done.
0:26:16 > 0:26:1710.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:2210 takes your total up to 25,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24sees you comfortably through, very well done.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Yeah, well played, Lola.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Nick Carraway narrates the book and he and Daisy Buchanan are cousins.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Indeed. Thank you very much. Now then, Darren.- Yes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Darren, 17, your score.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Looking pretty good. 69 or less gets you though.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Are you feeling comfortable with this category?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Um, there are a couple I think I know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'm not 100% so I wouldn't put a bet on them.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I've a feeling the bottom one could be The Old Curiosity Shop
0:26:48 > 0:26:51but I'm going to go for the second one, Blanche and Stella
0:26:51 > 0:26:52and A Streetcar Named Desire.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57OK, A Streetcar Named Desire for Blanche DuBois and Stella Kowalski.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00There's your red line, you have to get below that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Absolutely right, done exactly what you needed to do there.
0:27:10 > 0:27:1217.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15You equalled Jonathan's score, takes your total up to 34.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17APPLAUSE
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well played, Darren. Another good answer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Play by Tennessee Williams, of course.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Been very TENNIS-Y this show so far, hasn't it?- Hasn't it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- And quite Williams as well, the first round.- It really has.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Let's look through the rest of these now.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Miss Havisham and Herbert Pocket is Great Expectations.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35That would've scored you 25 points.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And the top one, Jo March and Marmee is Little Women,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40that would've scored you 23
0:27:40 > 0:27:43and the Reverend Samuel Parris and Abigail Williams is The Crucible.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Oh, it's The Crucible.- Very well done if you said that, 2 points,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48the best answer on either board.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52At the end of our second round the pair who'll be heading home,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'm afraid, this instance, it's Sue and Julie.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Not a bad score, 87.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01But they were just quite high scores individually, I suppose.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04But we'll see you again next time, look forward to that very much.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Meantime, thanks very much, Sue and Julie.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09APPLAUSE
0:28:09 > 0:28:11But for Lola and Alice, Darren and Jonathan,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16APPLAUSE
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Congratulations, Darren and Jonathan, Lola and Alice.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22You are now one step closer to the final
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28which currently stands - quite impressively - at £4,500.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30APPLAUSE
0:28:30 > 0:28:33So we now have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38The difference is you can now chat before you give your answers and
0:28:38 > 0:28:41the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47APPLAUSE
0:28:49 > 0:28:52OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Sketch Comedy Groups. Richard.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Going to show you five pictures now of comedy sketch groups,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- can you just tell us their names, please?- OK, thanks very much.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Let's reveal our five sketch comedy groups and here they come.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09We have got...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30There we are, five sketch comedy groups.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Darren and Jonathan, you played best throughout the show so far
0:29:33 > 0:29:35so you will go first.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- WHISPERS:- I know A, D and E.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Do you know B and C?- No, I don't.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45THEY WHISPER
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- We're going to go for E.- Yep? - And the League of Gentlemen.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52The League Of Gentlemen, say Darren and Jonathan for E.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Now then, Lola and Alice.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57That was the one we knew.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59So D, that's Rowan Atkinson.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01And Mel...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Mel Smith and what's his name?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Griff.- Griff Rhys Jones?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- That Ade Edmondson in A?- Maybe.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Oh, I don't know.- Smith and Jones?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Yeah, just say it.- Smith and Jones is our answer.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17So you're going to say Smith and Jones for D.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21OK, so we have Darren and Jonathan saying E is the League of Gentlemen.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23League Of Gentlemen for Darren and Jonathan,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:3521.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38APPLAUSE
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Very well done indeed.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Now, Lola and Alice, they've said that D is Smith and Jones.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48let's see how many people said that.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I'm afraid not Smith and Jones
0:30:53 > 0:30:55although Smith and Jones are part of it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57But that means, Darren and Jonathan,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Yeah, well played. Unlucky, Lola and Alice, you didn't get the point
0:31:02 > 0:31:05but you have succeeded in making everyone here feel very old
0:31:05 > 0:31:09by not recognising A or D, so something has been gained here.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12A, the one who looks like Ade Edmondson is Graeme Garden
0:31:12 > 0:31:16and that is The Goodies, that would've scored 67 points.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- B is a pointless answer. - The excellent Cardinal Burns.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Cardinal Burns, absolutely right.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Had a couple of series on E4, both of which are brilliant.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29C, there's Greg Davis, Steve Hall and Marek Larwood in We Are Klang,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31would've scored you 4 points.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36And D, it's Not The Nine O'Clock News is the answer to that one.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It's a big scorer though, it would've scored 44 points
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- so wouldn't have won you the point. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Here comes your second question.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Lola and Alice, you will get to answer this one first
0:31:45 > 0:31:48but you have to win it to stay in the game so best of luck.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Here it comes. It concerns...
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Songs Containing Metals, Minerals And Gems. Richard.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00We're going to give the titles of five hit singles,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03we're going to give you the initials of the acts who had a hit with
0:32:03 > 0:32:05those singles, just have to tell us who the acts are, please.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10OK, let's reveal our five songs and here they are. We have got...
0:32:21 > 0:32:22I'll read those all again...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Lola and Alice, it's all yours.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- WHISPERS:- I think we can go Brass In Pocket, The Pretenders.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- WHISPERS:- It's the Kaiser Chiefs, isn't it, Ruby?- Yeah.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Let's go Kaiser Chiefs.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45OK, we're going to go for Kaiser Chiefs for Ruby.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47OK, Kaiser Chiefs, say Lola and Alice.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Now, Darren and Jonathan, the board is all yours.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Well, we think the top one is The Pretenders.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Iron Lion Zion, Bob Marley and The Wailers.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57We don't know Mercury
0:32:57 > 0:33:00but we'll kick ourselves when we find out what it is, I guess.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04We're going to go for the fourth one, Silver Lady, David Soul.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06David Soul, say Darren and Jonathan.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Lola and Alice, you have said Kaiser Chiefs for Ruby.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14let's see how many people said Kaiser Chiefs.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17It's right.
0:33:20 > 0:33:2243.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:31OK, now Darren and Jonathan have said the DS
0:33:31 > 0:33:33who sang Silver Lady is David Soul.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Absolutely right. Is it going to beat Kaiser Chiefs?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Yes, it does.
0:33:44 > 0:33:4625, very well done indeed.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48APPLAUSE
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Which means, Darren and Jonathan, for the first time in a while,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54you've won it in straight sets so that's 2-0 to you,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56you're going straight through to the final.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Well played, Darren and Jonathan.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Yeah, two number one singles there, 30 years apart.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03David Soul was 1977, Kaiser Chiefs in 2007.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06You were right about The Pretenders, let's take a look at the score.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You'd have got 29.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Iron Lion Zion, as you say, Bob Marley and The Wailers,
0:34:13 > 0:34:18would've scored you 36 and the best answer on the board is Mercury
0:34:18 > 0:34:22and it's by Bloc Party, it would've scored you 6 points,
0:34:22 > 0:34:23very well done if you said that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:34:26 > 0:34:29is Lola and Alice, but an exemplary performance across the show today.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Well played, the good news is we get to see you again next time
0:34:32 > 0:34:34so we'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Thanks very much for playing, Lola and Alice.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42But, for Darren and Jonathan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Congratulations, Darren and Jonathan, you fought off all
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Wahey!
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Very well done.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06CHEERING
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Well, you've done very well. Just one performance, just one show
0:35:11 > 0:35:15and straight through to the finals. Lovely low scoring, pretty much,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18consistently throughout. Anything you'd particularly like to see
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- to round the show off?- Well, I've been watching this programme,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23probably since day one, and to the best if my knowledge
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Rugby League Challenge Cup Finals of the 1980s hasn't come up yet.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27LAUGHTER
0:35:27 > 0:35:32- OK.- But if it does...- Surely, the odds have got to be on? Yeah.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Very... Jonathan, anything you'd particularly like to see?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- Anything sport, er, films, films would be fine.- OK.- Yeah.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Well, best of luck. As always, you get to choose your category,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44from these four options and here they are...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Um, shall we go for the Olympics?- I think so.- We'll go for the Olympics.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00OK.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04OK, three options here, worth remembering, the 2000s is the decade
0:36:04 > 0:36:06not the century so we're looking just in that decade.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08We are looking for...
0:36:08 > 0:36:09anyone who won...
0:36:13 > 0:36:16So that's 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Anyone who won a medal
0:36:17 > 0:36:21rowing in a coxless four with Matthew Pinsent in the 2000s.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Or any...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26..in any of those three Olympics. So anyone who won any medal -
0:36:26 > 0:36:29gold, silver or bronze - in any of the field events.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31So...
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Very, very best of luck.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Thanks very much indeed. Now you've got up to a minute
0:36:43 > 0:36:46to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:46 > 0:36:50of £4,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Are you ready?- We are.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Who's the...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02high jumper from Liverpool? Not Steve Smith...?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Rob, Rob...- He got a bronze medal, didn't he? In...
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Yeah.- Was it Beijing?- We'll come back to him. What about the rowers?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I think we should scrap them unless you can think of one, can you?
0:37:10 > 0:37:16- Yeah, Ed Coode. And the... Steve Partridge.- Very good.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Didn't they write his name on the boat?- Yes, they did.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Was it Steve? It's not Alex, is it? Steve Partridge.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- So we go Steve Partridge, Ed Coode. - Coode.- That's a good one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Gold medals at Summer Olympics in the 2000s...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31You're thinking either...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Cyclists.- Cyclists.- Ed Clancy...
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- You've got some of the British girls...- Yeah.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43- Rebecca Romero.- Yeah, she's won a couple, she's done well. Um...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Lisa Cook... - Er, the field medallists...
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Ten seconds left. - We've, obviously, got people like...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51er, Jonathan Edwards, obviously... Phillips Idowu, er,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Greg Rutherford, et cetera...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56CONFERRING
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Ed Coode...- OK, that's your time up. I know need your three answers,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- what are you going to give me? - Well, we're going to go...
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Ed Coode for the middle one.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06For Matthew Pinsent, fellow rower, Ed Coode.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Steve Partridge.- Steve Partridge, same category.- For the middle one.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- And then...- For the top one we will go for the cyclist who you said...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Ed Clancy.- Ed Clancy, winner of two or more golds...- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- ..at a single Olympics.- Yeah.- OK. Now, of those three,
0:38:21 > 0:38:24which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- I think...- The rowers, Ed Coode, I think.- Ed Coode we'll put last. OK.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32- Which do you think is your least likely?- We'll go Steve Partridge, cos we're not 100% on that one.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Doesn't matter, Steve Partridge first.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Steve Partridge we'll put first, and Ed Clancy in the middle.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are...
0:38:40 > 0:38:41We have got...
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Very best of luck, three good-looking answers
0:38:48 > 0:38:51up there on the board, we just have to discover if they're right.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Your first answer was Steve Partridge,
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- this is the one you were probably the least confident.- Yes.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58However, it could be a brilliant answer,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00it could win you that jackpot.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- It's quite a nice jackpot, £4,500.- It is.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- What would you do with that, Darren? - Well, I've travelled quite a bit
0:39:05 > 0:39:09but I've been around the world and places in Europe and farther away
0:39:09 > 0:39:11so I'd love to go around Scotland on a train.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Train journey round Scotland, that would be nice. - Jonathan, how about you?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I think it might be time for a new set of golf clubs.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21The old ones are... a bit worse for wear. Er, and then, probably,
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- take the family to Turkey, something like that.- Very nice.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Best of luck, as I say. So first answer was Steve Partridge.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32In this case, he was a fellow rower with Matthew Pinsent, you thought.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Let's find out if it's right, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37If it is, it will win you £4,500.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Oh, bad luck!
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Bad luck. You were wondering if it was Alex Partridge.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47I wonder of that was where you went wrong? But who knows?
0:39:47 > 0:39:48We'll discover at the end.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52So only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Your second answer was Ed Clancy.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59And this was somebody who'd won two or more gold medals at a single
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Summer Games. Let's find out if that's right. Let's find out
0:40:02 > 0:40:04if it's pointless. If it is, it'll win you £4,500 -
0:40:04 > 0:40:06how many people said Ed Clancy?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Oh, no!
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Ed Clancy.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16For a reason we will discover, not a correct answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20So everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Which is Ed Coode. There it is. Now, this one you were
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- pretty confident in.- It was the first one that came into my head
0:40:26 > 0:40:30as... aside from Redgrave, obviously...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Pinsent, Cracknell...
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Just...- Ed Coode. OK. It has to be right,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39So, for £4,500, let's see how many people
0:40:39 > 0:40:43named Ed Coode as a fellow rower with Matthew Pinsent.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Oh, it's right.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49That's the first thing it had to be.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Steve Partridge and Ed Clancy were both incorrect answers.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54Ed Coode, no mistaking that.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Down it goes...!
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You've done it! Very well done indeed!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00CHEERING
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Congratulations. Very well done. - Thank you very much.- Brilliant.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Brilliant work there.- Well done.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Ah...!
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Oh, it's been a long time coming, that jackpot win.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16AGES since we've given the jackpot away,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18so, many, many congratulations.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Thank you.- Ed Coode was a pointless answer.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You only had to find one correct answer in there
0:41:22 > 0:41:24and it just happened to be a pointless one
0:41:24 > 0:41:27so very, very well done indeed. You will be leaving with that jackpot
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- of £4,500, congratulations. - Thank you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Terrific work, guys. Very well played. Well deserved.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Steve Partridge, I think you're mixing up Alex Partridge,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44as Xander said, with one of the other answers, which we'll come to.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Ed Clancy - he won one gold in 2008, he won a second one in 2012
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- but, obviously that's not...- Yeah. - ..included in our question here.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54But let's take a look at the pointless answers in all the different categories.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Ian Thorpe won five in all, across two Olympics.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Maurice Greene, the American sprinter, won two in 2000.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Ryan Lochte won two in 2008, also won two in 2012 but he'd won two in 2008.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12And Venus Williams, who won the women's gold
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and the women's doubles gold, as well, in Sydney.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Other than those four, actually, virtually everybody who won
0:42:18 > 0:42:21two gold medals or more is a pointless answer apart from...
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Chris Hoy, Usain Bolt, Kelly Holmes, Rebecca Adlington, Michael Phelps
0:42:24 > 0:42:25and Bradley Wiggins.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Everybody else - if you said another answer, you've just got a pointless,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32so very well played. Let's take a look at the rowers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- Steve Williams...- Ah!- ..was the...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Williams has been a recurring theme of the whole show, hasn't it?- Mm.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39LAUGHTER It really has.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41And Ed Coode there as well.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Very well played. Tim Foster would have scored you one point
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and the others were big scorers, Cracknell and Redgrave.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Germaine Mason who won a silver in the high jump,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- I think that's who you're thinking of?- Yeah, yeah.- Yes.- And you mentioned Phillips Idowu as well.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Steve Backley and Jonathan Edwards the only other two answers in that whole category.- Oh.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00But very well done if you got a pointless at home.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05Congratulations for getting a pointless in the studio. And a very, very well-deserved win.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Thanks once again to our winning players, Darren and Jonathan,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12who go away with today's jackpot of £4,500!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- Well done, mate.- Well done. - Join us next time,
0:43:16 > 0:43:20when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
