0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Hi there. My name is Nicole.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is my dad, Graham, and we're from High Wycombe.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm James. This is my colleague, Glynis. We're from Northampton.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Sam. This is Martin, and we're friends
0:00:46 > 0:00:48from the University Of Sheffield.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Louise. This is my sister, Fiona, and we're from Manchester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:02 > 0:01:05my trivia-toting brother from another mother,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hiya.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Hi, everybody.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Ah, that's nice. You're my brother from another mother, too.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You really are.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now, only one returning pair from last time, Martin and Sam,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22who joined the 200 Club, didn't they? On '70s Number One Singles.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And Martin went to my old rival school down in Haywards Heath.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27He went to Oathall.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So I took no pleasure in him joining the 200 Club whatsoever.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But hopefully see a little bit more of them this time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And other than that, three entirely new pairs
0:01:35 > 0:01:37for us to meet.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38And enjoy.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Absolutely. Interesting thing I've just noticed,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44three short-sleeved shirts today, 100% of them
0:01:44 > 0:01:47being worn in the mod style with the button done up.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It's interesting, isn't it? I'm wearing no sleeves at all under this.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I've got the shirt front and I've sewed the cuffs into the jacket.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Other than that...- Yeah, yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Your usual style.- There's no sleeve. - No sleeve.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I cut my sleeve of tattoos... LAUGHTER
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But that's why I don't wear sleeves at all because, otherwise,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I've wasted all that tattooing money.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Your tattooing money?- Yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Yeah.- I've got a tattoo of the Topkapi Palace
0:02:12 > 0:02:16in Istanbul all the way down here. Very beautiful, very ornate.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Wow. Wonderful.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23Down this arm, it's a list of every single title Fulham have ever won.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25AUDIENCE CHUCKLES
0:02:25 > 0:02:29It's not a big tattoo. I've got some room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Now, we've asked every question on Pointless to 100 people
0:02:34 > 0:02:35before the show.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37As ever, the aim of the game is to find a pointless answer,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Daniel and Tony didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50So, today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52APPLAUSE
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00OK. Now, remember,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:03:02 > 0:03:05eliminated, so do what you can to make sure that is not you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Our first category today is...
0:03:08 > 0:03:10..Funny People.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Funny People.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:12 > 0:03:14who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24..Famous Comedians.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Famous Comedians, Richard.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28On each pass, we will give you clues to the identities
0:03:28 > 0:03:29of seven famous comics.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You just need to tell us who that comic is, please.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34There are going to be 14 in all to guess at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Thanks very much indeed. OK.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39We are looking for the names of the comedians suggested by these clues.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41And here's our first board of seven.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43HE READS BOARD
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05HE READS BOARD
0:04:22 > 0:04:24There we are. Seven clues to seven comedians.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Graham, warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Thank you.- Here from High Wycombe. What do you do, Graham?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- I'm retired. - What did you do, Graham?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I was in the printing industry all my career.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Last 30 years as a company director,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37but decided to retire and enjoy life more.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- But you're loving retirement though, are you?- Absolutely.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41What are you filling that with?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Play a lot of golf, we go travelling.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I like walking, bit of photography, learning to play the drums...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Learning to play the drums?- Yep.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Always had a sort of latent interest?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I've always loved music... - Yeah.- ..especially rock music.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54How are you finding it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Um, I'm only having my second lesson in a few days' time.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59OK. Well, listen.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Graham, what about these comedians?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Do any of those suggest themselves to you?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Two or three fortunately do.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I think I'm going to take a slight punt and go for,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12"Hosted The Golden Shot and Celebrity Squares,"
0:05:12 > 0:05:13with Bob Monkhouse.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15"Bob Monkhouse," says Graham.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Let's see if Bob Monkhouse is right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19If it is, let see how many people said it. Bob Monkhouse.
0:05:27 > 0:05:2829.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3329 for Bob Monkhouse.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yeah, sold his first joke to another comic
0:05:37 > 0:05:39at the age of 15, Bob Monkhouse.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Made his TV debut in 1948.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Glynis, welcome.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48What do you do, Glynis?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I work for a lighting company and I sell energy lighting.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53And what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I've got an allotment that I really enjoy, so I grow lots of vegetables.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00What veg do you grow? Do you have the same every year
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- or do you vary it a bit? - I do try and vary it a bit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Last year I had a go at corn, which was really successful.- Ooh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I've grown herbs.- Delicious eating it that fresh as well.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Fresh, yeah.- Yeah, amazing. - Nothing like it.- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15OK. Now, Glynis, what about this board of comedians?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Um...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19There's a few I don't know, but I think I'm going to stay local
0:06:19 > 0:06:24and I'm going to have the "Host of TV chat show Chatty Man",
0:06:24 > 0:06:25and Alan Carr.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26"Alan Carr," says Glynis.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Alan Carr.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It's righ... Sheesh. Shoosh.
0:06:35 > 0:06:3682.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40There you go. 82 for Alan Carr.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42That is a big score, isn't it?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44But as you say, a local boy to Northampton.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47His dad was manager of Northampton Town FC.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Indeed. Now, Martin.- Hi.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Martin, welcome back. Last time - Round Two.- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Oh, yes, of course, Beach Boys. - Yeah.- Twice.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Me and Sam went for...both went for Beach Boys and both got 100,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00joined the 200 Club.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Is comedy better for you?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06It is, but my only answer on that board, really, was Alan Carr,
0:07:06 > 0:07:07and that's quite a shame.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Ah. Yes, that is a shame.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You're a chemist. You're studying chemistry, I mean.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- In your second year?- Yeah, at the University of Sheffield.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Enjoying it up there in Sheffield? - Yeah, it's very nice.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Very nice city.- Good stuff. So, Martin...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25..do you have a clue of any of the others?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I know someone that I think is in Never Mind The Buzzcocks,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30but I'm not entirely sure if he's even a comedian,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32but I'm just going to go for it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Noel Fielding.- Noel Fi... Not sure if he's a comedian?- No.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I don't know. I'm pretty sure he's on there, I don't know.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42OK. Let's find out. Noel Fielding, is that right?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Noel Fielding.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Absolutely right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Very well done. 16, best score so far.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And yes, the excellent Noel Fielding most certainly is a comedian.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06He is. If Noel Fielding ever got up early enough to watch Pointless,
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- he'd be very upset about that.- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Now then, Fiona, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Great to have you here. What you do, Fiona?- I'm a pharmacy manager.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18A pharmacy manager.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, do you do the dispensing or not?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I do the dispensing and I do all the bossing around as well.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Bossing around, that's the important bit, the key bit.- Obviously.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Yeah. What are your hobbies when you're not doing your pharcacing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- I like film, I like watching films, I like reading as well.- OK.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Although, I've just had a baby,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40so I've not done much reading, to be honest.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- How long ago was your baby? - It was seven months.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Lovely. Very good. OK, this board is all yours, Fiona,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49so why not see if you can talk us through it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I think I would have gone for Noel Fielding.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I knew that one for definite.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I think Barbara is Miranda Hart, and then Michael McIntyre.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Take Fat And Party, I'd guess at Peter Kay.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I'm going to take a punt and go for Miranda Hart for Not Going Out.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08OK. Not Going Out, Barbara the cleaner. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Miranda Hart.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14It's right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Good answer. 18. Second-best score of the round. Well done, Fiona.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Well played, Fiona. The brilliant Miranda Hart
0:09:28 > 0:09:29and the brilliant Not Going Out.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You were right about Michael McIntyre, too.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Would have scored slightly fewer points as well.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It would have scored you 14.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's go down the bottom first.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38This song better known as
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Let's Do It.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Victoria Wood.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42The wonderful Victoria Wood, yeah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Would have scored you 9 points,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I think cos people wouldn't recognise
0:09:45 > 0:09:47that song title.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49And this last one is not Peter Kay.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'm sure he wouldn't take offence.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52But it is a pointless answer
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and it's Roy Chubby Brown.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Very well done if you'd said that at home.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Let's see those scores as they stand.
0:10:00 > 0:10:0216, the best score of that pass, Martin. Very well done.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Put's you and Sam in pole position.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Then up to 18 where we find Fiona and Louise.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Up to 29 where we find Graham and Nicole then.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Up to 82, Glynis and James. Quite a long way ahead.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15James, are you comfortable in this round?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Are you happy with this category? - I really wish I had that board.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Really?- Yeah.- You might do better with the next board,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23so let's hope so. Let's hope you score low enough
0:10:23 > 0:10:25to keep yourselves in the game. We're coming back down the line now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK. Let's put seven more clues to comedians up on the board.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35And here they are.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- We've got... - HE READS BOARD
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01HE READS BOARD
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Remember, we're looking for the names of comedians
0:11:19 > 0:11:22suggested by these clues. And Louise, you're going to try
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Louise, welcome.- Thank you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- And what do you do?- I'm a nurse,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- but I'm currently on maternity leave as well.- OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What do you like getting up to when you're not nursing, Louise?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Like I say, I've just had a baby, so... And we're off together,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39so we do a lot of lunches and taking the babies swimming.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Very good indeed.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And how nice, they've got a cousin as well.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45They've each got a cousin to play with.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Good stuff. OK, so, there you are on 18.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The high scorers, as I say, James and Glynis on 82,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54so 63 or less is your goal.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55What do you think?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I think...female ventriloquist
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- is Nina Conti. - "Nina Conti," says Louise.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Nina Conti. There's your red line.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09If you can get below that with Nina Conti, you are in Round Two.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see how many people said Nina Conti.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15It's right.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18You're in Round Two. Very well done.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Nine.
0:12:23 > 0:12:2627 is your total. Well done, Louise.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Terrific answer, Louise. Yeah, Nina Conti, daughter of Tom Conti.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32She's got a first-class philosophy degree.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Hmm.- OK.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Now, Sam. Sam, welcome back. - Thank you very much.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Remind us what you do, Sam.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm a economics student.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44That's right. And you do a couple of other jobs on the side, don't you?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah, I work at Leicester Tigers, in the club store.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I've worked there for four years now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52So, it's really good. You get to watch some of the matches,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54meet some of the players.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56So, I've learnt a lot about rugby in the last four years.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I was a complete novice when I started there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Good stuff. Now, how do you feel about this board?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I know three of them.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think I'm going to go with the...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10"Essex-born ex-husband of pop star Katy Perry," Russell Brand.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12"Russell Brand," says Sam.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Well, you want to score 65 or less to get through to the next round.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17That's what that looks like. There's your red line.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Let's see if Russell Brand is right
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and if you can get below that red line with him.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25It's right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And you're through. Ooh, just.
0:13:28 > 0:13:2958.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3374 is your total. Very well done.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yeah, hefty score for Russell Brand.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38They got married in 2010 and split up in 2012.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Who would have thought? LAUGHTER
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Who would have thought, yeah.- Had longevity stamped all over it.- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Now, James.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49James, welcome to the show. How do you and Glynis know each other?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51We work for an energy lighting company together.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54We both work in the sales department.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Right. So, you muck about, basically, is what you're saying.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00A lot of work getting done there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I mean, I'm sure you work you work very efficiently.- I'll say, yes.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yes. And what do you like getting up to when you're not working there?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I do like to play cricket quite a lot.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And I do like to play football as well.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Also like to go and see some musicals now and again as well.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18OK. Well, listen, there you are on 82. Still the high scorers.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- We need a low score from you, James. - I know.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23How does that board look? Think you can find a nice, low score there?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I don't think I'm going to be able to.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I actually don't know any of them, so let's just go crazy
0:14:30 > 0:14:35and go for, "Live shows included the Mum Wants A Bungalow tour."
0:14:35 > 0:14:36I'm guessing that might be Peter Kay,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38so I'll go for Peter Kay on that one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You're going to say Peter Kay. Nicole's smiling at that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Peter Kay. Well, no red line for you, James,
0:14:44 > 0:14:45as you are the high scorers,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48but let's see if Peter Kay is right and how many people said Peter Kay.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's absolutely right, James, what a good guess.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And I have a feeling that was Nicole's answer as well.
0:14:57 > 0:14:5818.
0:15:00 > 0:15:0418 takes your total up to a nice round 100, James.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Yeah, his first ever gig was at a competition in Manchester
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and he won it. And second place was Johnny Vegas. Same gig.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Interesting.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Nicole.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Nicole, welcome to the show.- Hello.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Here you are, with your dad, from High Wycombe. What do you do?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I'm a business management student at the University Of Surrey.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- OK. How long have you done that for? - I've been there two years,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but I'm currently on my placement year working,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28and then I'm back to my final year afterwards.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I see, OK. Do you know what you're going to do after that?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33The dream would be marketing in the entertainment world,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36but marketing anywhere would be fantastic. I love it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39OK. Good stuff. Well, listen, there you are on 29.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43If you can score 70 or less, you are in the next round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45So...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I would have preferred the other board.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I know that Geraldine Granger was played by Dawn French,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53but I'm not sure whether or not to have a guess
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and go Sue Perkins for the top.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58But I don't know if Dawn French is going to be lower than 70,
0:15:58 > 0:15:59so...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm going to take the risk. I'll say Sue Perkins.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Sue Perkins for the top one?- Yes. - OK, Sue Perkins.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10There's your red line. Get below that with Sue Perkins
0:16:10 > 0:16:12and you are through to Round Two.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- It's right.- Ooh!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And you're through. Very well done indeed, Nicole. Good risk to take.
0:16:21 > 0:16:2312.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Good answer. 41 is your total. You are through to Round Two.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Very good answer. Would have been very exciting if you had gone for
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Dawn French cos she would have scored you exactly 70 points.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You'd be through with 1 point to spare.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Now, "Regularly appeared with Roy Barraclough," is Les Dawson.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Scored you 20. And do you know this last one?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47He was in a US series very briefly, with Minnie Driver as well.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- It's Eddie Izzard.- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51And 2 points, so the best answer up there.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Very well done if you'd said that.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57the pair heading home with a high score of 100,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm afraid, James and Glynis, it is you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Oh, dear. Nothing wrong with your answers,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03they were just high scorers.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The good news is, we get to see you again next time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We look forward to that very much. James and Glynis,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And so three pairs remain.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye
0:17:23 > 0:17:25to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Well, Fiona and Louise, very well done.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Our lowest-scoring pair in that round.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Great performance in your first-ever Pointless round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Then up to Nicole and Graham. Again, nice performing there.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And Sam and Martin, out returning pair...
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Phew, a little bit...little bit lucky there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But still, we wipe the slate clean.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Our category for Round Two is British Geography.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52British Geography. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:17:52 > 0:17:53who's going to go first and second?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many UK cities
0:18:05 > 0:18:09containing the letters S, E and T
0:18:09 > 0:18:10as they could.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12S, E and T. Richard.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15We are looking for the name of any UK city that includes all three
0:18:15 > 0:18:16of those letters in whatever order.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's got to include an S, an E and a T.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22There are 13 UK cities containing those three letters.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23See, during the round,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25if you can get as many of those as possible while at home.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So, any of those cities, please. Very best of luck.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK. Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Graham.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Always tough being the first person to answer
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- in one of these sorts of rounds... - Hmm.- ..but...
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I can think of a few. I'm going to go for a city I have been to...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45At least I think it's a city. ..and go for...
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Chesterfield.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Chesterfield, let's see if that's right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Oh, I'm sorry, Graham.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It's got all the letters, but Chesterfield is a nice town
0:19:01 > 0:19:04in Derbyshire, I'm afraid, not a city.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Thanks very much. Now, Sam.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12Yes. I am going to stick true to my home town and...
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- I hope it's a home city.- Home city, of course, and not a home town.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And hopefully, it's scores a little bit lower
0:19:18 > 0:19:20as the letters are a little bit rearranged,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22and say Leicester.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24"Leicester," says Sam. Let's see if Leicester is right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31It is absolutely right.
0:19:36 > 0:19:3729.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Yes. One of the oldest cities in the UK, Leicester.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46It's also got the largest naturally ventilated building in Europe.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Do you know where that is?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- No idea.- It's at De Montfort University.- Oh, wow.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Is that where you go? - Naturally ventilated?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Naturally ventilated. Yes. - What, it's just got windows?
0:19:55 > 0:19:56AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yes. No, it's got win... It's got openable windows.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Oh, imagine that!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Openable windows and a couple of doors maybe.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Doors that you can wedge open. - And maybe any...some sort of...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I don't know. ..vents and things you can probably open.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Oh, it's got no roof either.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Oh-ha-ha, that is brilliant.- Yes.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- That is naturally...- Or walls. When I think about it...
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Is it a building?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18LAUGHTER
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Do you think they just go through the Guinness book of world records
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- just thinking, hmm, we can do this. - What could we do?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Give us a great fact about Leicester.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Leicester is the...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32One of the most multicultural cities in the UK.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'm going to go with that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- OK.- Good.- That's rather lovely. - Well done.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Well done. Brilliant. Well done, Leicester.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41OK. Now, Louise.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47I can think of quite a few places but I'm not entirely confident
0:20:47 > 0:20:49whether they're cities or not.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52So I'm going to play it very, very safe
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and say my home city of Manchester.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57"Manchester," says Louise. Let see if that is right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Manchester.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, it beats our highest score of 100.
0:21:04 > 0:21:0573.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Literally everyone is just saying where they live.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- That's a very different quiz show, isn't it?- Hmm.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Say Round One, "Where Do You Live?"
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Round Two, "What's Your Mum's Name?"
0:21:18 > 0:21:20ALL LAUGH
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Actually, you know what, not a bad idea pitching that quiz show
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and just getting people's bank details out of them.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Not a bad idea. - Round One - Mother's Maiden Name.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Round Two - Memorable Address.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Yeah. First Car - Round Three.- It's a very good idea, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37At the end, you don't win anything, we just clear out your bank account.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39LAUGHTER
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Let's take a look and see what everyone has got in their bank.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4729 was best score of that pass. Well done, Sam and Martin.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Up to 73 where we find Louise and Fiona.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Then up to 100 where we find Graham and Nicole.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So, Nicole, it's in your hands...
0:21:55 > 0:21:56- Oh, dear.- ..I would say. Yes.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Just get thinking of cities with S, Es and Ts in them
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and you'll be fine. Best of luck with that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08OK, so, Fiona...
0:22:08 > 0:22:12HE READS BOARD
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Not very good at geography at all,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19but I'm just going to play it safe and just go for Chester.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22"Chester," says Fiona. Sounds good. There's your red line.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25If you can get below that, you're definitely in the head-to-head.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chester.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It's right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:3647 for Chester.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39120 is your total.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yeah, it's a good answer. Leaves you slightly in jeopardy, though.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Chester Racecourse is Britain's most continuously used sporting venue.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Been used since 1539 continuously.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Since 1539?- Mm-hm.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Brilliant. Racing or have they done all sorts of events there?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Well, they've done all sorts of events like Madness play
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- and stuff like that these days... - Oh, I see.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Peter Andre will come in play, but by and large, it's known for...
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Well, that's an event!- It is.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Peter Andre has played there every year since 1539.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Thanks, Richard. Now, Martin, you are on 29.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The high scorers are now Fiona and Louise on 120.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, 90 or less is what you have to score.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22To be safe, to get through, to get below the 90 mark,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'm going to go for New Castle.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27"New Castle," says Martin. Let's see if that's right.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said New Castle.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It's right and you are through. Very well done.
0:23:37 > 0:23:3937.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4266 is your total, Martin. Well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Yeah, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, of course, adding another T
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and another E to the name as if they didn't have enough already.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Yeah, it almost becomes embarrassing, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, OK.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58So, Nicole, the moment of truth. You have to score 19 or less.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think you can do that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01I'm not so sure.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'm going to take another risk.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06And I think I'm going to go with...
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Lancaster.- "Lancaster," says Nicole.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11There is your red line. Get below that with Lancaster,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lancaster.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's right.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27You've done it! Look at that! Nine for Lancaster.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Very well done, indeed. 109 is your total. You are in the head-to-head.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33That's brilliant, Nicole. Very well played.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Yeah, it is the City of Lancaster...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Actually, the City of Lancaster incorporates Lancaster,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39also Morecambe is in the City of Lancaster.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's one of those things. Let's take a look at all the answers.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45No pointless answers here at all, but as I say, there's 13 and all.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48The best three answers you could have had - Westminster.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Would've scored you three points.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54You would have got 8 points for Stoke on Trent, for Chichester.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56You would have got 13 points for Gloucester.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Would also have been a very good answer.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03You would have got 14 for Winchester, Preston and Belfast.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06You would've got 18 for Worcester and then the top three...
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We've heard all three of them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Chester and Manchester.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- And there are your 13. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18the pair heading home with a high score of 120,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'm afraid, Fiona and Louise, it is you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Nothing wrong with either of your answers.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Manchester just a big high score there,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27as I think you suspected it might be,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29but listen, we will see you again next time.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30We look forward to that very much, indeed,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but in the meantime, thanks very much, Fiona and Louise.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Thank you.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39But for Martin and Sam and Nicole and Graham,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Congratulations, Martin and Sam, Nicole and Graham.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:50 > 0:25:52and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54which currently stands at £2,250.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58So, now we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and to do that you are going to go head-to-head.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02The difference is, you're now allowed to confer
0:26:02 > 0:26:04before you give your answers.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I think this is going to be a very exciting head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22HE READS BOARD TWICE
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Richard.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Five clues now relating to Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36HE READS BOARD
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'll read those all one last time.
0:26:49 > 0:26:57HE READS BOARD
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Now, Martin and Sam, you played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:05 > 0:27:06so you will go first.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:27:18 > 0:27:22We're going to risk it a little bit and go for the century
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and say the 15th century.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28"The 15th century," say Martin and Sam.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31The 15th century. Now, Nicole and Graham, the board is all yours.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Do you want to talk us through it?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- We know...- The date, obviously, 5th of November.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Penny for the Guy's the amount of money.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Do you know the ringleader? - Guido Fawkes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43The building underneath which the barrels were planted
0:27:43 > 0:27:45was the Houses of Parliament.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47So, which do you think?
0:27:47 > 0:27:48I'll let you choose.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Guido Fawkes ringleader of the Gunpowder Plot.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52OK, Guido Fawkes, you're going to go with.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So, Martin and Sam said the 15th century.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00let's see how many of our 100 people said the 15tn century.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03No!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Not the 15th century, which means Nicole and Graham,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08you merely have to be correct with Guido Fawkes
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and you will win this point.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Let's find out if that is right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17No! It's not.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Which means, after one question, it is nil-nil. Richard.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23What were you thinking, Nicole?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Don't know.- It wasn't Guy Fawkes.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Guy Fawkes was just... Was the guy who was guarding the gunpowder.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Robert Catesby was the leader of the Gunpowder Plot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Would have scored 6. I think a lot of our 100 people said Guy Fawkes.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37And It wasn't the 15th century. It was the 17th century.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39It was 1605.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Would have scored you 27.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44So, any of these easy ones would have won the point.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Obviously, it's November 5th.
0:28:47 > 0:28:4993 people remembered that.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52The amount of money was a penny, as you say.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Would've scored 80. And the building was the Houses of Parliament,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58and that would have scored you 63. That's a good start.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Thanks very much. Isn't it? Thanks very much.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03OK, so, here comes your second question.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- HE READS BOARD TWICE - Richard.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13We're going to show you the titles of five Michael Jackson
0:29:13 > 0:29:14UK Top 40 singles now,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16but we're just going to show you the number of letters
0:29:16 > 0:29:17in each word of that title.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Can you work out which songs we're referring to?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23OK, let's reveal our five singles. And here they are. We have...
0:29:23 > 0:29:29HE READS BOARD TWICE
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now, Nicole and Graham, you will go first this time.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:48 > 0:29:53We will go 3, 2, 3, 6 - Man In The Mirror.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Man In The Mirror. OK. Now, Martin and Sam, the board is all yours.
0:29:57 > 0:30:04- I think 4, 2 is Beat It.- Yeah. - I think 8 is Thriller. I think...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- What...what...- I'm not sure about the other two.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Go for 4, 2.- OK, we'll go for 4, 2 - Beat it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11OK, you're going to say, "Beat It."
0:30:11 > 0:30:13So, we have Man In The Mirror and we have Beat It.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Nicole and Graham said Man In The Mirror.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It's absolutely right.
0:30:26 > 0:30:2711!
0:30:30 > 0:30:3111 for Man In The Mirror.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Martin and Sam have gone for Beat It - 4, 2.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49So, we have an early result after two questions,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Nicole and Graham, you are up 1-nil.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Well played. You're right about Thriller,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57but it would have scored you too many points. That would've scored you 57.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02The one beneath that would have won you the point. It's Liberian Girl.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Would have scored you four and the second one is the best answer there.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09It was his first number one single. One day In Your Life.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It would have scored you one point.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Very well done if you got that one at home.- Thanks very much, indeed.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So, here comes your third question.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Martin and Sam, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22OK, it concerns...
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- HE READS BOARD TWICE - Richard.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'm going to show you five clues now to facts
0:31:27 > 0:31:29about the film director Quentin Tarantino.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:31:34 > 0:31:40HE READS BOARD
0:31:53 > 0:31:54I'll read them all one last time.
0:31:54 > 0:32:01HE READS BOARD
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Martin and Sam will go first.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:20 > 0:32:22We are going to go for the bottom one,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25and we believe that that is Uma Thurman.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29"Uma Thurman," say Martin and Sam. Uma Thurman.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Now, Nicole and Graham, do you fancy talking us through...
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- As much of the board as you can? - Yeah, not our best subject.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I haven't seen many Tarantino films, I must confess.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Don't think you have either.- No.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45We're going to take a guess. Go 1960s decade he was born.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46The 1960s.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49OK, "The 1960s," you're saying.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52So, Martin and Sam have said Uma Thurman was his muse.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56let's see how many people said Uma Thurman.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's right.
0:33:04 > 0:33:0530.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Now, Nicole and Graham, you've said the decade in which he was born
0:33:11 > 0:33:13was the 1960s. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Oh, it's right.
0:33:24 > 0:33:2532.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well done, Martin and Sam, back in the game.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32After three questions, it's one all.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Yeah, born in 1963. Nearly got you through to that final.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38The top answer would have got you through to the final.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Received the Oscar for Pulp Fiction. Would have scored 25.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- The character he played was Mr Brown. - Mr Brown.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Yep, would have scored three.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50And he was a guest director on Sin City.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52And that would have scored you four points.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54So, Mr Brown, the best answer there. Well done if you said that.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Thanks very much, indeed. OK, so here comes your fourth question.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02This, let's hope, is the decider. We will have a winner after this.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Whoever wins will be going through to the final
0:34:04 > 0:34:07and playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09It concerns...
0:34:09 > 0:34:15HE READS BOARD TWICE
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Richard.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18We're going to show you the names of five players now
0:34:18 > 0:34:20English and German who were on the field
0:34:20 > 0:34:22at the beginning of the 1966 World Cup final,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24but we've missed out alternate letters from their names.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Can you fill in those gaps? Good luck.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30OK, let's reveal our players and here they come.
0:34:31 > 0:34:37HE READS BOARD
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I will read those all one last time.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51HE READS BOARD
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Now, Nicole and Graham, you will go first.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I've got no idea.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Being the age I am, I think I know probably all of them,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07although one I'm not quite certain.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Take a punt.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13The best answer, which I think is Willie Schulz, number two.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16OK, Willie Schulz, Willie Schulz.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Now, Martin and Sam, the board is yours.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- OK.- We know the top one is Bobby Moore.- Yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25And the middle one is Franz Beckenbauer.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I think Willie Schulz would be quite low,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- so which should we go for? The bottom one?- Yeah. We'll go for...
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- BOTH: Alan Ball.- "Alan Ball," say Martin and Sam. Alan Ball.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35So, we have Willie Schulz and Alan Ball.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Now, Nicole and Graham said Willie Schulz. Let's see if that's right.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Let's see how many people said it.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43It's right.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Very well done. Look at that. Three.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Great answer there, Nicole and Graham.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58So, that's what you've got to beat with Alan Ball, Martin and Sam.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Absolutely right.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0741.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Well, we have our result, eventually. Very well done.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14After four questions, Nicole and Graham,
0:36:14 > 0:36:15you are through to the final. 2-1.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well played, Graham. Couldn't beat Willie Schulz there.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It's the best answer on the board, as you would imagine.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Bobby Moore at the top would have scored too many points.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Would have scored 63.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26The next best answer would have been Franz Beckenbauer.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29He would have scored you 19.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32And Nobby Stiles is the other one, and he's another big scorer.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35He would have scored you 58. Almost as many as Bobby Moore.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Thanks for a much, indeed, Richard.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I'm afraid, is Martin and Sam. Well, what a performance.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45What a turnaround we've had from you in this last show.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Round Two, last time. This time, low-scoring all the way through
0:36:48 > 0:36:50and as our golden couple, as I say, but, I'm afraid,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55It's been great having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Thanks for having us.- Martin and Sam.- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02But for Nicole and Graham, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Congratulations, Nicole and Graham,
0:37:07 > 0:37:08you fought off all of the competition
0:37:08 > 0:37:10and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:37:18 > 0:37:22and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Well, I tell you what, Graham,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- all I can say is thank goodness for Willie Schulz.- Absolutely.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Oh, it was all beginning to look like it was going to be Chesterfield
0:37:34 > 0:37:38all over again and again and again. And Guido Fawkes...
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Oh, dear. Oh, dear, but no.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Willie Schulz very well done in the nick of time. So here you are.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45As always, you get to choose your category.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47There are four options for you to choose from.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Let's find out what they are.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Today, we've got...
0:37:50 > 0:37:56HE READS BOARD
0:37:57 > 0:38:00We've never been to New Zealand, so that would be no good.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Do you read any American crime? - Not regularly.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Looks like it's veteran singer-songwriters.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- I think it will be. - Yeah, we'll go with that one.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09OK, veteran singer-songwriters. Rich.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11OK, we're looking for any studio albums
0:38:11 > 0:38:14released by any of the following three people, please.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16We're looking for any Leonard Cohen albums,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19we are looking for any Van Morrison albums
0:38:19 > 0:38:21or we're looking for any Bob Dylan albums.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23So, these are original studio recordings.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25So, not compilations, anything like that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Just any album released by those three
0:38:28 > 0:38:30that reached the UK Top 40, please.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Very, very best of luck.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Thanks very much, indeed.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34OK, now as ever,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37you got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38All you need to win that jackpot
0:38:38 > 0:38:41is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yeah.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Your time starts now.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Right, well, Van Morrison I know Astral Weeks.- Astral Weeks.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- The only one I can think of. Bob Dylan... Freewheelin'.- Freewheelin'?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. And Nashville Skyline.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Nashville Skyline. - Now I start to struggle.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Leonard Cohen had a bit of a famous song called Zhan,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- but I don't know if it was the name of the...- Sorry, let me recap.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Astral Weeks.- Astral Weeks. - Freewheelin'.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Freewheelin' for Bob Dylan and... Nashville Skyline.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Nashville Skyline. Any others? I don't know any.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17I'm struggling here.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19We've got three at least.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- I think we'll have to go with that.- Oh... OK.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- No? Can you think of anything else? - No.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- We'll go with that.- Yeah. - OK, you're happy to stop the clock?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- We'll go with that. - OK, we shall stop the clock.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32And remind me what those three answers are.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Van Morrison...- Astral Weeks. - Astral Weeks.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Bob Dylan...- Fr... No. - Freewheelin'.- Yep.- Freewheelin'.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and Nashville Skyline.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Nashville Skyline, also Bob Dylan. OK, of those three,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47which do you think is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Astral Weeks. - Astral Weeks, we'll put last.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Least likely to be pointless? - Nashville Skyline.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Nashville Skyline. And Freewheelin' in the middle.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00And here they are.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- We have... - HE READS BOARD
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Nashville Skyline.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Now, let's imagine one of these answers is pointless.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17What would you do with your jackpot winnings? Nicole?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I'd like to do a little bit of travelling after a finish uni
0:40:20 > 0:40:23with some of my best mates. And...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Yeah, just try and see a little bit
0:40:25 > 0:40:27before going into the world of work afterwards, so...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29OK, Graham, how about you?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Well, it's my 48th wedding anniversary a bit later in the year,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34so I dare say it will go towards that.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Well, congratulations.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Nashville Skyline was your least confident shot
0:40:41 > 0:40:43at a pointless answer, but remember only one of these
0:40:43 > 0:40:45has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Let's see if that's right, Nashville Skyline as a Bob Dylan album.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56It is right.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59All it has to do now is go down to zero.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02If it does that, you will leave the £2,250.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Still going down through single digits...
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You've done it! Look at that!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Very well done, indeed.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Fantastic, Nashville Skyline!
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- I'm amazed.- Brilliant. That's fantastic.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Well done.- I can't believe it.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21THEY LAUGH INCREDULOUSLY
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Wow. Two very surprised people over there.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26But many, many congratulations.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Your first answer, Nashville Skyline, was a pointless answer,
0:41:29 > 0:41:33which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41That's brilliant and what a team. Our great father-daughter team.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Nicole, you carried the first half of the show.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Graham stepped in for the second half of the show.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47The two of you, an amazing team, won the jackpot.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - also a pointless answer.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Astral Weeks is a Van Morrison album,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54but never been a Top 40 hit, unbelievably.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57But so, it would have been incorrect. But like you care
0:41:57 > 0:41:59cos you've got two pointless answers already.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Now, I know some of these questions are absolute dream categories
0:42:01 > 0:42:03people have been waiting for a while,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06so I'll go through the pointless answers in all the different ones.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Let's start with Leonard Cohen. Dear Heather was a pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11His biggest hit album in the UK Songs From A Room.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14That was up pointless answer. His follow-up to that,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Songs of Love and Hate. 10 New Songs was a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Also could have had Death Of A Ladies' Man.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20New Skin For The Old Ceremony and The Future.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Those are the pointless answers there.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Let's take a look at Van Morrison.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Days Like This, Down The Road, Hymn's To The Silence,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29The Healing Game, in fact, every album he's released
0:42:29 > 0:42:31apart from Moondance, Avalon Sunset and Enlightenment,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33every other Top 40 hit was a pointless answer.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36So, if you said another one, you would have won the money. Well done.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And Bob Dylan, there's so many pointless answers here,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40including some very big albums.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Bringing It All Back Home was pointless.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Highway 61 Revisited, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46there you go, The Times They Are A-Changin'.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48In fact, the only ones that scored any points were
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Blood On The Tracks, perhaps, unsurprisingly.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Desire, Blonde On Blonde, Together Through Life, Oh Mercy
0:42:53 > 0:42:57and Modern Times. Everything else was pointless. Congratulations.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00What a wonderful team you were, and a well-deserved jackpot.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01- Thank you.- Thanks very much, indeed.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Nicole
0:43:04 > 0:43:08and Graham, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250. Very well done.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:15 > 0:43:18to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
