0:00:18 > 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 > 0:00:27This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:27 > 0:00:29to 100 people before the show and all our contestants have to do
0:00:29 > 0:00:32is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm Kirsten.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42This is my sister Catherine and we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Erin.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47This is my mum's partner Dave and we've come from London and Coventry.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's Tony. This is my good friend John.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52We're from Middlesbrough.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Dean. This is my brother Ryan and we're from Cambridgeshire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Thanks all of you, we'll find out
0:01:04 > 0:01:06more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10He's got the audience in the palm of his hand
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and given his size, that's not a totally unfeasible concept.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I have got very big hands.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- You have. - Do you want to do a hand comparison?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Yes.- A hand-parison.- A hand-parison? Oh, look, it even...look at that!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Look at that!
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Big, right?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And just so people know, my hands...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Here's a sheet of A4...there's my hand. It's normal.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Normal sort of size.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Relatively...- And I'll show you, I've got a sheet of A4 here as well.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:53APPLAUSE
0:01:53 > 0:01:55There you go.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Big hand there!- Big hand.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.- So, what a lovely show
0:02:01 > 0:02:04last time with Dicky and Dave, they were terrific, weren't they? They did
0:02:04 > 0:02:06very, very well. Walked away with a bit of money as well. We've got
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Kirsten and Catherine back from that show. They were on podium one
0:02:09 > 0:02:12last time, got knocked out straightaway. And they're back on podium one,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- that seems a bit harsh.- I think they're going to be good today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It is tough on that first podium. But hopefully on the second show,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21it'll be a little bit easier. And next to them, Erin and Dave, who did a lot better.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Got all the way through to the head-to-head. Did very well, Going to be tough to beat today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Now, sometimes I get called a geek. You've heard that, right?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I have heard that.- But I don't help myself sometimes
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and Round One I'm definitely not helping myself.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK. Looking forward to that!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- How are you feeling about that, Kirsten and Catherine?- Anxious.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yes, well, very best of luck. All of our questions on Pointless
0:02:40 > 0:02:43have been put to 100 people before the show, our contestants
0:02:43 > 0:02:45have to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Now, of course everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Dicky and Dave won the jackpot last time
0:02:55 > 0:02:59so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04APPLAUSE
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK, the pair with the highest score
0:03:08 > 0:03:10at the end of the round will be eliminated and
0:03:10 > 0:03:14please remember there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17OK, our first category today is...
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Transport.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:23 > 0:03:24who's going to go second?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:03:37 > 0:03:41as many railway stations with "street" in their names as they could.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Railway stations with "street" in their names.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Oh, Rich, this is good.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes, it's one of those rounds as well where
0:03:47 > 0:03:50if you live in one such place, it's a stroke of luck.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53We're looking for any national rail station in England, Scotland
0:03:53 > 0:03:56or Wales which has the word "street" anywhere in its name, please.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So, any national rail station in England, Scotland or Wales
0:03:59 > 0:04:02with the word "street" in its name.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Now then, Catherine and Kristen, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and for the second time running you are going to go first.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Catherine, welcome back.- Thank you. - How are we feeling about this?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- I think I've got one.- Well, remind us what you do, Catherine.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm a student at the University of St Andrews.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- And what are you studying there? - International Relations.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Which country are you getting on with best?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I do a lot of different places so...
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- OK, do you know what you want to do when you finish?- No idea.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Do you think you'll pursue international relations?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I think so, yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Good.- But not sure what job yet.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41OK, now, Catherine, you reckon you've got an answer here.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42I'm going to go for Queen Street in Glasgow.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45OK, Glasgow Queen Street, says Catherine.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50let's see how many of our 100 people said Glasgow Queen Street.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53It's right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Down it goes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Look at that. 2!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Very well done indeed, Catherine. 2 for Glasgow Queen Street.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04APPLAUSE
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Very well played. It's the third busiest station in Scotland.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Erin, welcome back to the show.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Now, Erin, remind us what you do. - I work in cricket.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So, you are just longing for a cricket question to come up.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- I don't... - They do from time to time.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yeah, although that would be embarrassing if I got that wrong
0:05:20 > 0:05:21so, I'm not sure.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Except, well, you deal more in the pastoral care of cricketers
0:05:24 > 0:05:26perhaps rather than the sport itself.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Yeah. It might be better than railway stations.- Ah. Oh, really?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34You never have to book cricketers onto trains? When they have to go...
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Yeah, but none with street in the names.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- OK.- No, I know a few but I think they're quite obvious.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47And I think everyone else will get right answers so, I think I'll risk
0:05:47 > 0:05:52it rather than get like one that's going to be in the top three, maybe.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Erm, so I'm trying to think of tube stations that I think are also
0:05:57 > 0:06:01national rail stations. I'm not sure this is right at all
0:06:01 > 0:06:03but I'm going to go for Cannon Street.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Cannon Street. Cannon Street and that of course is in...- London.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07London.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Cannon Street in London, says Erin. Let's see if that's right
0:06:10 > 0:06:14and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Cannon Street.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Well done, Erin.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well, 2 is our only score so far.
0:06:22 > 0:06:245 for Cannon Street.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Very well done indeed, Erin. Great score.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Very strong start to the round, Richard.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Very strong round, well played, Erin.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Yeah, I'm very pleased with that as it shows I'm not that much of a geek.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, John, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Great to have you here, you are here from Middlesbrough.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43What do you get up to in Middlesbrough, John?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Not very much, really. I go for plenty of walks.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I watch a lot of sport.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Lots of lovely places to walk around there, yeah?
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Beaches, Saltburn Beach. Beautiful. - Fabulous. And sport?- Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- The Boro.- The Boro.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00And how do you and Tony know each other?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02We've worked with each over for over 30 years,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04well, we did until we retired.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- OK, and what did you work in? What was your...- Banking.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09High street bank, yeah.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12High street bank, did you travel at all? A lot of rail travel?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I did and I know, again, a little bit like Erin,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I know a lot of the bigger city places.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, I'm going to have to play safe, really, and pick one that
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I think might well do a lot...score a lot more points than the others.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I'm going to go for Marylebone Street in London.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Marylebone Street, says John. OK, Marylebone Street.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Bad luck, John. I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's an incorrect
0:07:42 > 0:07:46answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Sorry, John, it's just Marylebone, I'm afraid.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50But at least you were right that it
0:07:50 > 0:07:52would score far more than the other teams, you were...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54LAUGHTER
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Dean, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Thank you.- Now, what do you do, Dean?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I work in travel for an inbound tour operator. So, I organise trips
0:08:04 > 0:08:08for students and tourists from overseas visiting the UK.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, you put the tours, the packages, together, do you? Or...
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Yeah, everything.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Everything's tailor made so from the minute they arrive in the UK...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Do you go to the arrivals with the board?- No, no, no.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I don't really get involved on the ground,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22it's just the office-based logistics.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Do you know that Dean and I met each other years and years
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- and years and years ago? - Did you?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Dean and I did a read-through for a friend of mine's musical,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32which sadly never got put on. It was really good.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It was Biggles, the musical of Biggles.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Actually, if there are any theatre producers out there
0:08:36 > 0:08:39who want to pick it up, it's a cracking musical!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- And the cast we had! It was wild, there was me...- Dean.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- There was Dean.- Me, yeah.- Erm, Ben Miller.- Oh, I love that guy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I knew you'd like him!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- He's the guy out of Armstrong And Miller.- Yeah, yeah!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- He's very good, isn't he?- Death In Paradise, that's my favourite.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- It's good, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah. He also does the Worst Week, doesn't he?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- He's very funny in that. - He's good in that.- Just very funny,
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- just a good actor and a good comic. - Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- And a nice guy, I've heard as well.- Yeah, really very nice.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Yeah, he's apparently a terrific guy. - Yep. Yeah, all of those.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Yeah, he's very funny. - I remember he was very friendly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Yeah, he's nice, Ben, isn't he? - He was, yeah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yeah, really, really nice. What a guy.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- Dean.- Yes. - What are you going to go for, Dean?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'm going to go for Birmingham New Street.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Birmingham New Street, says Dean.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Let's see how many of 100 people said that.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32It's right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:3736!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That'll do.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Well played, Dean. Nice and safe and sound given there's 100 on the board.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Yeah, a train leaves Birmingham New Street every 37 seconds.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Wow, that's outbound tourism, isn't it?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Yeah.- I was just wondering if people were leaving at a greater rate than
0:09:55 > 0:09:59they were arriving, which I am not making that call.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00I'm just saying.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04The fact that you said a train leaves just...got me thinking.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Got me thinking.- We've talked about you thinking before, haven't we?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I know, I said I won't do it again. I won't do it again. Thanks.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Now, listen, we're halfway through the round,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14let's take a look at the scores. 2 is the best score of that pass.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Catherine, all I want to say is very, very well done indeed.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Then up to 5 where we find Erin and Dave, ditto, very strong there.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Then up to 36 where we find Dean and Ryan, little bit ahead of the pack
0:10:25 > 0:10:28there but not to worry because John and Tony are right up there
0:10:28 > 0:10:29on 100.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33So, Tony, yes, we need a very low scoring station from you, otherwise
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I'm afraid we'll be saying goodbye to you at the end of the round
0:10:35 > 0:10:37but we're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44OK, Ryan, remember we are looking for railway stations
0:10:44 > 0:10:47that have the word "street" in their names.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Welcome to Pointless, Ryan. What do you do?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- I work in film and video production. - Now, that sounds fun.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Yes, it can be. - Do you work on features or?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01No, mostly corporate videos, the odd music video here and there.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04What's the most exciting one you've done?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Erm, I did one for this kind of psychedelic rock band
0:11:07 > 0:11:11that was quite interesting. It was, yeah, they were pretty crazy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12What were they called?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14They're called The Beautiful Sleazy.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- The Beautiful Sleazy.- Yeah, so it's all in the name really, isn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yeah, yeah, I like that. OK, well, there we are,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23we need stations with the word "street" in them, Ryan.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26OK, erm, I'm going to go with Fenchurch Street.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Fenchurch Street. OK, let's see if that's right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Let's see how many people said Fenchurch Street.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35There's your red line, get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Very well done, Ryan.
0:11:42 > 0:11:4426.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45APPLAUSE
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Our third worst score so far takes your total up to 62.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yeah, very safe and sound there on that last podium.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Fenchurch Street is the only London terminus not to
0:11:53 > 0:11:56be on the underground. We've talked before about Fenchurch Street,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- about whether it actually exists, haven't we?- I've never seen it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01There's no evidence for it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03We've never met anyone who's ever been there or seen it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You can catch trains from there but to nowhere.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07LAUGHTER
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Seriously?- Yeah.- You're kidding me. - Yeah, and they leave every 30 weeks.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16LAUGHTER
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- It does exist, I think. It does exist.- Surely it must do.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There's no such street as Fenchurch though, did you know that?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Fenchurch Street, the actual street, the thoroughfare.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Is there not?- I've made that up. I've no idea.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Tony, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Tony?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I'm retired.- You're retired. Now, what fills your time?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Erm, well, just life actually, because I'm very lucky
0:12:39 > 0:12:43because in October 2010 I had a double lung transplant.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Wow.- And had it not been for that I wouldn't be here today, so...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I've never met a lung transplant patient before, that's fantastic.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well done to your team, the team who did that.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57It's quite miraculous really, but I was in and out in 17 days.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- No, really?- Yep.- Back on your feet after 17 days, not quite, surely?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Oh, yeah.- Really?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05John's going to have a brain transplant after this.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08LAUGHTER
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Good stuff, well, well said, Tony.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14There you are on 100. The high scorers at the moment, but who knows?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Maybe all the street stations everyone thinks of initially
0:13:16 > 0:13:17are beginning to run out.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20So, anything could happen in the next two answers.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21As long as we have a low score from you, Tony.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26You might be in with a chance. When I say low scores, I mean under 5.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Yeah. Well, I don't think mine's going to score under 5 actually.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32So, I'm going to have to play absolutely safe
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and say Lime Street, Liverpool.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Lime Street, Liverpool.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38No red line for you, Tony, as you are high scorers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But let's see how many of our 100 people said Lime Street, Liverpool.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45It's right.
0:13:50 > 0:13:5129.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53APPLAUSE
0:13:53 > 0:13:56129 is your total, Tony.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yeah, well played, Tony. Not a lot you could have done there.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03There's been a station on that site since 1836. Liverpool Lime Street.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Long time.- That's a long time.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Right, now, Dave.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I have good news for you. You are through to the next round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Whatever happens, you won't overtake the high score of Tony and John.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19However, I reckon you've got a good answer but before you give it,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Dave, remind us what you do.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25I'm a calibration engineer in the aerospace industry.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29A precision engineer up in Coventry. And what are your hobbies?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30You have very sporting hobbies.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Yeah, I play a little bit of golf and I play short mat bowls
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- and crown green bowls.- Dave, what's your answer going to be?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Well, fortunately we are already through
0:14:39 > 0:14:44so, mine's a little bit of a guess. But I'm going King Street, Cardiff.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47King Street, Cardiff. Is that a complete guess?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- You haven't made it up, have you? No.- I have.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- LAUGHTER - Have you really?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53OK. King Street, Cardiff, says Dave.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55There's no red line for you as you're through already.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59But let's see for fun, if King Street, Cardiff, exists.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04No, it doesn't. You could've fooled me though.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07105 is your total, Dave.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yeah, sorry, Dave. No King Street in Cardiff, I'm afraid.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Well, no King Street Station anyway.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Thanks very much. Now, Kirsten. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Now, you are studying veterinary medicine at Glasgow.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Of all the animals you've studied, which is your favourite?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Possibly a zebra. I think zebras are my favourite.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30We've done like a little bit of wildlife medicine on my course
0:15:30 > 0:15:33so far and that's why I'm doing zoology at the moment as well.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36That's fun, are there zebras you can go and tend to in Glasgow?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- No, not yet.- That's a shame.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's more like looking at pictures of them.- Aw, that's nice.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I took a zebra into the self service area of a supermarket
0:15:45 > 0:15:46the other day, it was carnage.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48LAUGHTER
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Unexpected horse in bagging area they said.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54LAUGHTER
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Kirsten, what are you going to go for? You're through already...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- I know, I'm so relieved.- ..so, a little bit of pressure off.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Erm, I feel like there is a railway station on Baker Street
0:16:03 > 0:16:05so, I'm going to go for Baker Street, London.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Baker Street in London, says Kirsten.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see
0:16:09 > 0:16:13how many people said it. No red line because you're already through.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I mean, there's a station there, but it clearly isn't a mainline station.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20That scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22takes your total up to 102.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Yeah, just a tube station, I'm afraid.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26There's a couple of Glasgow stations which would
0:16:26 > 0:16:28have been pointless answers though. I know that's where you live.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's take a look at some of the lower-scoring answers first.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32I know some people,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35if they live near certain stations, would have said them.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Chester-le-Street, of course, that would have scored you 4 points.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Argyle Street in Glasgow would have scored you 2.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Parson Street in Bristol would have scored you 2.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44You would have got 1 point for Sole Street.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Now, there's not a Cardiff King Street
0:16:46 > 0:16:48but there is a Cardiff Queen Street
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and that would've scored you 1 point, would've been a terrific answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Turkey Street, that's London. St James Street.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Liverpool James Street would have scored you 1 point as well,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58it would have been a very, very good answer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Park Street, Clapham High Street, both of those would've scored 1
0:17:01 > 0:17:05but let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Blake Street, which is Sutton Coldfield,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09that would have been a pointless answer.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Duke Street, which is Glasgow, as is High Street,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13both of those are pointless answers.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Golf Street, do you know where Golf Street is?- No.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Carnoustie. It's nice, it's the name of the station in Carnoustie.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You could have had...
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Ham Street in Kent.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25You could have had Paisley Gilmour Street, that's in Paisley.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Shoreditch High Street, Shoreditch in London, that's a pointless answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Smethwick Rolfe Street, that's in Smethwick.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Watford High Street, that's in Watford
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and Worcester Foregate Street, that's in Worcester.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I'm afraid the pair heading home with their high score of 129 are
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Tony and John. Oh, Marylebone Street.- Never mind.- Oh, never mind.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Never mind. Well, listen, John and Tony. We'll see you again next time,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53we'll look forward to that very much indeed. Meantime,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56thanks very much for playing, Tony and John. Great contestants.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58APPLAUSE
0:17:58 > 0:18:01But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06So, now only three pairs remain.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Obviously at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to
0:18:09 > 0:18:12another pair. Ryan and Dean, very well done.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Yours was the lowest combined score, that was fantastic.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Kirsten and Catherine, in the middle there on 102.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And Erin and Dave, not bad, 105, just ahead of them there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27So, yes, brilliant answer from you, Catherine. Lovely low score of 2.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Kirsten, in your Pointless career so far
0:18:29 > 0:18:34you've only given two answers and so far you have scored 200 points.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38So, yes, time to pull your socks up, Kirsten. Catherine's doing
0:18:38 > 0:18:41all the hard work here. Very, very best of luck in this next round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51who's going to go second?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Disney films. Richard.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05On each pass, we're going to show you the plots to six Disney
0:19:05 > 0:19:08or Disney Pixar films, we need you to tell us the name of the film, please.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at,
0:19:10 > 0:19:1212 in all to guess at home so, very best of luck.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16We are looking for the titles of the films described by these clues
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and here's our first board of six. We have...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'll read those one last time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14So, Catherine. There we are. Six Disney plots.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17OK. I think I know a few of them.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18So, I'm trying to work out
0:20:18 > 0:20:20which will be the lowest.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm going to go for the bottom one
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and say Lilo & Stitch.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Lilo & Stitch says Catherine.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It's right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:3929.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Not bad.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Good start, yeah. Nominated for best animated feature,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48didn't win it though. It was originally, one especially,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51one of their very quick turn around, very low cost animations for Disney.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- But it's had a TV series, sequels, all sorts of things.- Mm.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Very successful.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Thanks very much. Now, Erin.- Yes.- Is this good for you?- No.- Oh, really?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Film isn't good.- Do you know what... - I had to make up an...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05This is the sort of thing people actually ask for the whole...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- They think, "Oh, I really would love Disney films."- Yeah, do Disney.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- No, not films. - They would always say to me
0:21:10 > 0:21:13"Can we do Disney? Can we do train stations with "street" in the title?"
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- They say to me all the time.- Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And I don't think Dave's that keen on film either so...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Certainly not.- ..we might struggle here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- OK.- Erm.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23I think I know two of them,
0:21:23 > 0:21:24and they're going to be
0:21:24 > 0:21:26the highest two.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So I'm just going to have to go for
0:21:28 > 0:21:31the cowboy doll which is Toy Story.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32OK, Toy Story, says Erin.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Let's see if that's right
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Toy Story.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It's right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Wheee! 87.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43APPLAUSE
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- 87 for Toy Story.- That is a lot, isn't it? Goodness me.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49And it's interesting, that's another one. Toy Story 2.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Huge hit. That was originally supposed to be
0:21:52 > 0:21:53a straight-to-DVD thing
0:21:53 > 0:21:55that they were going to do before they thought... Yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Isn't that weird?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Thanks very much. Now, Ryan, you're the last person to have this board.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02This is perfect for you, isn't it, Ryan?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Er... Yeah, kind of.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Do you want to talk us through the board,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07fill in all the blanks for us?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'm not sure about the top one.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14It looks... I know of it but I don't know what the name of it is.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Erm, courageous chicken,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I'm guessing is Chicken Run.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22The fairy casting a spell I guess is Sleeping Beauty.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Erm, but I'm going to go with
0:22:23 > 0:22:26the next one down, which is living puppet and say Pinocchio?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27OK, Pinocchio, says Ryan.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Let's see if Pinocchio is right,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31and let's see how many people said Pinocchio.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39APPLAUSE
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's another big score, isn't it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Pinocchio won an Oscar for best song When You Wish Upon A Star.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Now, let's fit in the rest of these.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53The rodent Sherlock Holmes, do you know that one?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- It's Basil, The Great Detective. - Oh, yeah, yeah.- Yep.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Everyone knows the name but it's hard to bring to mind, isn't it?
0:22:58 > 0:22:596 points for that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02The courageous chicken, it's not Chicken Run, it's Chicken Little.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Chicken Little, yes! - Yep, it was a big hit. 13 points.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- And the fairy who cast a curse upon a princess?- Sleeping Beauty.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It is indeed. Yes. That would have scored 40 points.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Surprisingly low, actually.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well, thanks very much, we're halfway through the round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Let's take a look at those scores. As they stand,
0:23:18 > 0:23:1929, the best score of that pass
0:23:19 > 0:23:21by quite a margin, Catherine, so very well done.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Kirsten, Catherine once again setting you up quite well.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Try and keep up the good work when it comes to your turn.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Then up to 67 where we find Ryan and Dean, 87 Erin and Dave.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Now, Erin said, Dave, that this isn't a good category for you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36She was right.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Well, let's hope the next board is full of Dave-compatible films.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And you'll be able to find a nice low-scoring one there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52OK, let's put six more Disney plots on the board, and here they come.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'll read those all one final time.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Now, we are looking for
0:24:40 > 0:24:41the Disney film, Dean,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42that each of these describes
0:24:42 > 0:24:44and you're going to try and find the one you think
0:24:44 > 0:24:47the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm going to go for the two mice
0:24:49 > 0:24:51search for a kidnapped girl.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I think it's The Rescuers.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54The Rescuers, says Dean.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, the high scorers are Dave and Erin on 87.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00You're on 67, so 19 or less sees you through.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05There's your red line, let's see how many people said The Rescuers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh, very well done indeed!
0:25:12 > 0:25:1412 for The Rescuers!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Good answer. 79 is your total, Dean.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Very good work, Dean. Very well played.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Best answer of the round so far.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Thanks, Richard.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Now, Dave.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Not good, not good.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28But I'm going to have a stab
0:25:28 > 0:25:29at the second one down,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31a litter of puppies
0:25:31 > 0:25:33abducted by Cruella De Vil.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I think that's 1,001 Dalmatians.
0:25:37 > 0:25:391,001 Dalmatians.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43OK, well, you are the high scorers at the moment,
0:25:43 > 0:25:44so no red line for you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Let's see how many people said 1,001 Dalmatians.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51HE WHISPERS
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Bad luck, Dave. I think you know your mistake there.- Yep.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02That scores you the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 187.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Yes, I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Thanks, Richard. Now, Kirsten.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You're through to the head-to-head.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14This is great news. I think you'll know most of these, won't you?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in the blanks?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I think I know all of them. My heart just broke for you there
0:26:19 > 0:26:22because I think it is 101 Dalmatians, the second one down.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Erm, I think the top one's Dumbo. The timid clownfish is Finding Nemo.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30The African big cats is the Lion King
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and I think the bottom one is the Aristocats.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Erm, so, it doesn't really matter.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I think I'm just going to go for the Aristocats.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The Aristocats you're going to say. OK, no red lines, you're already through.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It's right.
0:26:51 > 0:26:5222, well done!
0:26:54 > 0:26:5551, your total.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Very well played, Kirsten. Off the mark at last.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Very good news. Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yes, it is of course 101 Dalmatians,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07would have scored you 55 points.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12101 Dalmatians, 6.5 million spots on their backs, apparently.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15And 1.2 million pencils used in animating that film.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17A young elephant is assisted by...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20In fact Kirsten's taken us through all of these very well,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22that is Dumbo, would have scored you 80 points.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24The clownfish is Finding Nemo.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I thought it would score more than this. It only scored 65 points.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30And the power struggle amongst African big cats is The Lion King.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32A few more points for that, 71.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So, The Rescuers being the best answer on the board, well played.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading home
0:27:39 > 0:27:44with the high score of 187 are Dave and Erin. I'm sorry.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Not a good category for you. - No, films, not great.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- I'm so sorry. Cricket didn't even come up, Erin.- I know.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I'm sorry.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Anyway, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Thank you so much for playing, Dave and Erin.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00APPLAUSE
0:28:00 > 0:28:03But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Congratulations, Ryan and Dean, Kirsten and Catherine,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:28:12 > 0:28:15for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19We have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:28:19 > 0:28:21and to do that, you are now going to go head to head,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24the big difference being that you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Well, Ryan and Dean, what an exemplary performance.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Your first appearance on Pointless,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35straight through to the head-to-head as our lowest-scoring pair,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39our golden couple. So very, very well done.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43And Kirsten and Catherine, you made it! Kirsten, the Aristocats, yaaay!
0:28:43 > 0:28:46There we are, you broke your duck, so to speak.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48But you can all put your heads together now,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51so who knows what might happen? I think it's going to be exciting.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head!
0:28:59 > 0:29:03OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Ancient Greeks, Richard.- We're going to give you five clues now,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11five descriptions of famous figures from Ancient Greece.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Can you tell us who those figures are, please?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Thanks very much, indeed.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19OK, let's reveal our five Ancient Greeks, and here they are.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now, Ryan and Dean, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00so you will go first.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02(Do you know who wrote Antigone?)
0:30:02 > 0:30:06THEY CONFER
0:30:06 > 0:30:07- (Iliad, isn't it?- I think so.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10(Play safe and go for that.)
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Dean.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Well, we're kind of um-ing and ahh-ing but we're going to play
0:30:15 > 0:30:19fairly safe and go with one that I think we're confident we know.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22That's the author of the Iliad and The Odyssey
0:30:22 > 0:30:24which we think is Homer.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Homer, say Ryan and Dean.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Now, Kirsten and Catherine, do you want to talk us
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- through the rest of the board? - We wish we could.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We think the mathematician might be Pythagoras,
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- but we're not sure, so we think we should play it safe.- Yeah?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- And go for the philosopher, which is Plato.- Plato.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44So we have Homer and we have Plato.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Ryan and Dean went for Homer.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51let's see how many people said Homer.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5846.
0:31:00 > 0:31:0346 for Homer. Kirsten and Catherine have gone for Plato.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08let's see how many of our 100 people said Plato.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It has to beat 46, which it does!
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Down it goes to 14, very well done indeed.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Kirsten and Catherine, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Kirsten and Catherine, let's take a look through the rest of this board.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Do you know the playwright who wrote Frogs?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Yes, it's Aristophanes I think. - Aristophanes, yes, very well done.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35It's a low score as well.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37That would have scored you 4 points,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40which would have been a terrific answer. Disney should do Frogs.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Shouldn't they?- That'd be good. Aristophanes' Frogs.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49The mathematician is Archimedes, would have scored you 22,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51and the author of Antigone?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I was going to say either Sophocles or Euripides.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Which one are you going to go for? - Euripides.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Oh, that's a shame, it's Sophocles.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00That would've scored you 3 points.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Very good answer, well done if you got that at home.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Kirsten and Catherine, you will get to answer it first,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11but Ryan and Dean, you need to win it to stay in the game.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- The Smiths, Richard.- Not the band, The Smiths, I'm afraid though.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23We're just going to show you five famous people with the surname Smith.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Can you tell us the most obscure of these Smiths?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Let's reveal our five Smiths and here they come. We have...
0:32:47 > 0:32:52OK, five famous Smiths. Kirsten and Catherine, you will go first.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58We're torn between two but we can't decide which one will be lower.
0:32:58 > 0:33:06- But...we're going to go for Willow Smith, E.- OK, E, Willow Smith.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Now then, Ryan and Dean, do you fancy talking us
0:33:08 > 0:33:11through all the other Smiths on that board?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14We think we know all of them, don't we? Pretty much, yeah.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16It's Delia Smith,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I think B is Kelly Smith,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- D is...- Zadie Smith.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I think we're going to go with C.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Yeah, we're going to go with C.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Arthur Smith.- OK, you're going to say Arthur Smith.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33So we have Willow Smith and Arthur Smith.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Kirsten and Catherine have gone Willow Smith. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40and if it is, let's see how many people said Willow Smith.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42It's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:5015, well done.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52APPLAUSE
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Now, Ryan and Dean have said C is Arthur Smith.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Arthur Smith.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's right, of course.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09It'll have to beat 15 for you to get the point to go
0:34:09 > 0:34:11through to the.... Oh!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:1624.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Kirsten and Katherine, very well done.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23After two questions, you are straight through to the final. 2-0.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Well, that's great news for Arthur Smith!- Isn't it?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28It's a big score, bad news for Ryan and Dean,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31but very good news for fans of Arthur Smith.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33You were right about a couple of those others.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37It is Zadie Smith, the author. She would have scored you 9 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43And you were right about England's leading goal
0:34:43 > 0:34:45scorer of all time, Kelly Smith.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49She would have scored you even fewer points, only 6 points,
0:34:49 > 0:34:53so would have won you the points. And Delia Smith there is A.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56She wouldn't have won you the points. Big scorer. 73.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I'm afraid it's Ryan and Dean.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Fantastic performance all the way through the show
0:35:06 > 0:35:08and then you came up across Kirsten and Catherine,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11an unstoppable force as it turns out in this round.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Nothing wrong with your Ancient Greek or Smith-related knowledge.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Who would have thought that Arthur Smith would be such a high score there?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- I'm delighted he is. - Yeah, I'm pleased for Arthur.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24A great man, but I'm afraid you picked the wrong one.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Well, we will see you again next time, which is the good news,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30but meantime, thanks very much for playing, Ryan and Dean.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:36But for Kirsten and Catherine, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Congratulations, Kirsten and Catherine.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46You fought off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:53 > 0:35:56and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Very well done indeed!- Thank you.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05You had only one blot on your copybook, and that was
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty...
0:36:08 > 0:36:11No, by Kirsten there in Round One.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15So out in Round One last show, this time, straight through to the final.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19But not just straight through to the final, through to the final 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20So very well done.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Now as always, you start this round off by choosing a category
0:36:22 > 0:36:24and you have four options to choose from.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26They are...
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- What do you think?- We're torn between the two in the middle.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- We've both been to New York together, so...- Shall we go for that?
0:36:42 > 0:36:46It could go in our favour, but we've been to the Tate quite a few times,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49so I don't know which one to go for. New York?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- I'd say New York.- OK.- OK, New York it is. Richard.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55OK, we're going to give you three separate options here.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58We are looking for...
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Any actors who appeared in more than 20 episodes of the New York sitcom Taxi.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Very, very best of luck.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27As always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30To win that jackpot of £1,000, all you need to do is find just
0:37:30 > 0:37:32one pointless answer among those three.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Now remember the answers you provide can come from any of these categories.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37It's entirely up to you how you spread them.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40They can all come from the same one, or one from each, two from one, one from another.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Entirely up to you.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Your time starts now.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Can you think of many in Manhattan?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51I've never seen Manhattan.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Right, I can't think of any obscure,
0:37:53 > 0:37:54it would just be erm...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Woody Allen and Diane Keaton
0:37:56 > 0:37:58is all I can think of.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59I've never seen Taxi either.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Erm, I can think of a couple, erm,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04tracks from The Strokes album,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Someday I think is on that
0:38:06 > 0:38:08album, possibly Reptilia, erm...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Let's just go for those.- Yeah? OK.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Can you think of someone who might
0:38:13 > 0:38:15be in a Woody Allen film?
0:38:15 > 0:38:16I'd say like...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Can you think of any tracks
0:38:20 > 0:38:21by The Strokes, cos I'm really
0:38:21 > 0:38:23struggling to picture
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- what's in that album?- Last Nite?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I think Last Nite is on it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29There's another song that I'm sure
0:38:29 > 0:38:30is a time that's like 5.24,
0:38:30 > 0:38:31but I mean, I could just be
0:38:31 > 0:38:33plucking three random numbers.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I think it's on you for The Strokes album.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Right, OK, so Someday...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39We're not going to get anything
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- obscure for the...- 10 seconds left.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Someday, Last Nite, and... Reptilia?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah, go for it.- OK, cool.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Erm, we're going to focus on the tracks on Is This It.
0:38:56 > 0:39:03We've got Someday, Last Nite and Reptilia.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08OK, three answers there, all from The Strokes' Is This It album.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer here?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- I think Someday. - Someday we'll put last.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Which is leas likely to be pointless?- Reptilia.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22Reptilia we'll put first. OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23We have got...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Well, very best of luck. Your first answer,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32the one that you thought was least likely to be pointless was Reptilia.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Now remember only one of those answers has to be pointless
0:39:35 > 0:39:38for you to win that jackpot of £1,000. Quite nice to take away.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40What would you do with your share of that, Kirsten?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Erm, well we both really want to go travelling, so I think
0:39:43 > 0:39:46we would probably pool it together and go away to Europe next summer.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Excellent. Good stuff, OK.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51All of these answers you're submitting for being
0:39:51 > 0:39:53tracks on The Strokes' album Is This It.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Reptilia, let's find out for £1,000, is it right?
0:39:56 > 0:39:57How many people said it?
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You thought it might be an incorrect answer. It is an incorrect answer.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10So not a pointless answer. Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Your second answer was Last Nite.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Now again, this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:16 > 0:40:19so for £1,000, let's find out how many of our 100 people
0:40:19 > 0:40:22thought Last Nite was on The Strokes' Is This It album.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27It's right.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Now your first answer Reptilia was an incorrect answer
0:40:30 > 0:40:33but Last Night absolutely on the money.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Down it comes through the teens
0:40:35 > 0:40:37into single figures, still going down.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- 6. - APPLAUSE
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Not bad. Not bad at all.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Now that's probably the best known track from that album,
0:40:47 > 0:40:48I'd have thought.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52We now move on to slightly more solid ground here with Someday.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55This is your last shot.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Everything is riding on Someday to see
0:40:57 > 0:40:59if you are going to win this jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Now, Kirsten, this has been your moment.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Katherine was doing quite a lot of the heavy lifting earlier on,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07this is now your time to shine. Someday.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09If this is correct, and it is pointless,
0:41:09 > 0:41:13you leave here with £1,000. So let's hear how many of our 100 people said Someday
0:41:13 > 0:41:15was on The Strokes' album Is This It.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20It's right.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Your first answer Reptilia was incorrect,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27your second answer Last Nite took you down to 6.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Someday taking us down into single figures past the 6,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31down it goes, still going down.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33You've done it!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:38That is fantastic, very well done.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:53Congratulations. Now, Kirsten, you came good when it really mattered, so very well done.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Someday was a pointless answer, which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Very well played indeed.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59That's great news,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01that's two shows in a row we've given away the jackpot as well.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Very, very well deserved, well played.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Let's take a look at the pointless answers in all the different categories, see how you did at home.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Actors in Taxi - Carol Kane was a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Christopher Lloyd was a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Jeff Conaway, who plays Bobby and Tony Danza.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19The Manhattan category.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Frances Conroy played Ruth Fisher in Six Feet Under.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Mariel Hemingway, she was Oscar-nominated for this film.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Tisa Farrow, Mia Farrow's sister. All of these pointless.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Strokes' songs -
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Alone, Together. There's Someday. Take It Or Leave It
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Trying Your Luck. You also could have had Soma and Barely Legal as well.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Reptilia is from the second Strokes' album.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46I know you don't care now, because you're walking away with the money.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Kirsten and Catherine,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done indeed.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE

0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
