0:00:12 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Frances and this is my partner and best friend, Jane,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- and we're from Shropshire. - Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Pete and this is my lovely wife, Jane, and we're from Bristol.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Gav. This is my friend, Ceres, and we're from Saltash in Cornwall.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- And finally, couple number four. - I'm Kim, this is my brother, Bill.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54He comes from Sleaford in Lincolnshire
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and I come from Southsea.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We'll get to know more about each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08If all the world's a stage, and all of us are merely players,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10then this man would be the autocue.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.- How are you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Yeah, I'm very well.- Excellent.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Only one returning pair, and they're on podium 1, as it should be.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I always think when people come back, they should lead off.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- I think that's nice, don't you? - It is.- It's random, but I like it
0:01:29 > 0:01:33when that happens. Frances and Jane got all the way through to the head-to-head last time,
0:01:33 > 0:01:34so they'll be tough to beat.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I hear that Gav and Ceres are from Saltash,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39which was a Pointless answer in the jackpot round, wasn't it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Yeah, two shows ago.- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- It's gutting for them that they weren't on that.- Oh, I know!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- You would have been all over that.- And the jackpot was £770,000, as well. You missed out on that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- It was a record, wasn't it? - Yeah.- There it is.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- No, it should be a cracking show today.- Thank you, Richard.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, all our Pointless questions have been asked to 100 people
0:01:57 > 0:02:00before the show. Our contestants are trying to find the obscure answers
0:02:00 > 0:02:01those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now, Joe and Paddy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Now, all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:29 > 0:02:30at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33so do what you can to make sure it's not you. Best of luck,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36all four pairs. Our first category today...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39is Film Stars. Film Stars.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Celebrity Voices On Film, Richard?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58On each pass we'll show you the names of seven animated characters from films.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02We need you to tell us who provided their voice. The good news is, we'll give you
0:03:02 > 0:03:04the initials of the person who provided the voice.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So it's going to be 14 animated characters in all,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09you've got to guess the voices for all of those. Good luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So we are going to show you, on the first board, seven characters.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We want to know who voiced those characters. Here's our first board.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Frances, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Ooh, you did so well last time, right up to the head-to-head round,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- and then you was robbed. - Yeah.- Yes, it was 2-0.- Yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Only because I thought Keira Knightley was over 50.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I wasn't going to mention Keira Knightley!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09But now you've brought her up, yes... Yasmin Le Bon
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- looking incredibly like Keira Knightley.- She did, yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Keira Knightley has been on the phone since that show, as well. She was very, very unhappy.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19She was in tears talking to me because you thought he was 50.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I tell you who comes out of it well, Yasmin Le Bon.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Definitely.- Cos she's 50, and she looks like Keira Knightley.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27If I look like Keira Knightley when I'm 50, A, I'll be surprised,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- B, I'll be very happy.- You do look a bit like Keira Knightley.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I mean, a young Keira Knightley. - Yeah, a little bit.- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Yeah, why not?- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Now, Frances. There are various characters.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Who are the actors who voiced them? - OK.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Um, I think I know some of them.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I think I'm going to go...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Um, I think I'll go for the top one. Lightning McQueen, Cars.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think that's Owen Wilson.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Owen Wilson, says Frances, for Lightning McQueen.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Let's see if that's right,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's right. Owen Wilson, a good answer.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- APPLAUSE - 36.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- 36.- Well played, Frances. Nice start. He plays the arrogant car, Lightning McQueen.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Paul Newman also provided a voice in that movie.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- So, Jane.- Hello!- Jane W.- Yes. - Welcome to the show.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- You are here from where? - From Bristol.- From Bristol.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31What you do in Bristol?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm a business manager in a primary school.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- That's interesting. A sort of bursar, really?- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- It's the old-fashioned bursar. - Excellent. How is that? Is that fun?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's really good. I really enjoy it,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- cos everyday's completely different. - Yeah.- So it's brilliant.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Do you work all the way through the holidays, as well?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- No, I'm really lucky. I only work term-time only.- Excellent.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Now then, Jane, what about these voice-over characters?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Yeah, this is an awful round for me. - SHE LAUGHS
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Are those initials helping at all? - No, not at all. I'm sorry.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I'm just going to have to pick a name out of a hat, really.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08I'm going to go for Victor Van Dort, Corpse Bride.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm going to say Jason Donovan.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- It's not out of the question. - Well...
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- His name begins with a J and a D. - It does.- Let's see if that's right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jason Donovan.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26No. That's not a surprise.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer there, Jane W.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah, sorry, Jane, perfect work on the alphabet,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37but I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ceres. - Yes.- Ceres, welcome.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- What do you do, Ceres?- I'm a travel agent.- Oh, now that's fun, isn't it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Yeah.- I'm pleased there still are lots of travel agents around.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- But is it getting quite tough being a travel agent?- Yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Most people do their own, don't they?- Yeah, it's a tough industry at the minute,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58with all the internet holidays that people book at home.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- So it's tough, we've got to work hard.- Yeah.- I enjoy it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Ah, it just means on a rainy day,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06when it's about sort of half three and it's getting dark outside
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- in the winter, you can just leaf through magazines.- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- And dream.- And dream. How nice.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well, there are various characters.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Who are the actors who voiced them? - Yeah, I know a few.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25I was just trying to think which one is going to be the lowest. Um...
0:07:25 > 0:07:30I think I'm going to go for Victor Van Dort, and say Johnny Depp.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Johnny Depp, you're going to say. Not Jason Donovan, but Johnny Depp.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Let's find out, is it Johnny Depp?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Absolutely right. Well, you've already beaten our high score.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Our low score at the moment is 36 and you beat that, too. 20.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47APPLAUSE
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Good answer, Ceres. - Well played, Ceres. Nice start.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Of course, Jason Donovan, very much the Australian Johnny Depp, isn't he?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- LAUGHTER - Yes.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Now Kim, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- I'm a secondary school teacher. - What do you teach?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I teach geography and a little bit of IT. But mostly geography.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- That's fun. Do you love it?- I do.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I really love it, because I've got kind of a passion for travelling,
0:08:13 > 0:08:18and for sort of making sure people know about their area around them.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Very good indeed. Now, Kim, this board's all yours.- Yes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I maybe know three, but I think I might be making the third one up.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Do you want to talk us through them all,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- and then decide which one you want to submit?- OK.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I have absolutely no idea about Zazu.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I think Princess Fiona is Cameron Diaz.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I've got a feeling, and I'm sure it's completely wrong,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40that Dr Nefario might be Rob Brydon.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Hercules, no idea.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And Rocky from Chicken Run is Mel Gibson.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And it's just deciding which is higher of Cameron Diaz
0:08:48 > 0:08:52and Mel Gibson, so that I'm going to go for the lower of the two.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55And I think I'm going to go for Cameron Diaz.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK, you're going to say Cameron Diaz for Princess Fiona.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Cameron Diaz.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Well, again, you've beaten our high score.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07The low score at the moment is 20.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Well, 50 you get for Cameron Diaz. - APPLAUSE
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Not bad, Kim.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Yeah, the winner of the first ever animated feature Oscar, Shrek,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18is actually a much higher answer than Mel Gibson.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Mel Gibson is right, but would have scored you 27 points.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Would have been a very good answer. Dr Nefario, not Rob Brydon, but...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Russell Brand.- Russell Brand, yep.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Would have scored you nine. Zazu...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Rowan Atkinson.- Rowan Atkinson, yeah. Would have scored you eight.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And the best answer there, Hercules,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37was played by the American actor, Tate Donovan.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Terrific answer if you got that - one point.- That's Jason's brother?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43LAUGHTER It is!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Let's take a look at those scores. 20, the best scorer of that pass,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Ceres. Very well done indeed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Then up to 36, where we find Frances and Jane.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Then up to 50, where we find Kim and Bill,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and then 100, Jane W and Pete.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Listen, anything could happen on the next pass, Pete. You never know.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05A low score from you will help you enormously.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Good luck. We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14OK, let's put seven more characters up on the board. And here they come.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15We've got...
0:10:32 > 0:10:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Bill, we want the names of these actors, and you're going to try
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Bill, welcome. What do you do, Bill?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- I'm a retired detective superintendent.- Wow.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- When did you retire? - I retired 11 years ago.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And since then I've taken up running,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and now I run 5K to a marathon.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Wow! Do you miss the detective superintending?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Oh, definitely. - Oh, I'd miss that terribly, though!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Oh, the questions to be asked.- Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Anyway, what are you going to go for, Bill?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Do you know what, there's not one I know on there I can pick out.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Look at those initials. Think of Jason Donovan.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm going to have Po with James Bond.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32AUDIENCE TITTERS
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- OK, James Bond. - It's all I can give.- Yes, well...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- I should have gone in the first round.- OK, there's your red line.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42If you get below that red line, you're in Round Two.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Let's find out if James Bond is right for Po, shall we?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50No, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54scores you the maximum of 100 points. Your total is 150.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56There is a possibility that you might be with us
0:11:56 > 0:11:59at the end of the round, but it's all in Pete's hands.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Sorry, Bill, yeah. Not James Bond.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03That would be a world to live in, wouldn't it,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- when characters played other characters in other films.- Wow.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- That'd be very confusing.- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- It would make our lives more difficult.- Yeah, wouldn't it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Gav, welcome.- Thank you. - What do you do, Gav?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- I work in retail as a team leader. - Good. What sort of retail?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Supermarket work.- Excellent. What do you do in your spare time?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I do a part-time degree, so that takes up a lot of my time.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- A sports degree.- Open University, is it?- Yeah.- I see.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31OK. Now, Gav, listen, I've got great news. Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- You're through to the next round. - Good to know.- Yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Um, I knew a few of them.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43I think I'm going to go with Puss In Boots, which is Antonio Banderas.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Antonio Banderas. No red line for you, cos you're already through.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Antonio Banderas.
0:12:55 > 0:12:5744.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- APPLAUSE - 64, your total.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Well played, Gav. Yes, showing us the adventures of Puss In Boots before he meets Shrek,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- like a prequel.- It's a great film. - A lovely film.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Pete.- Yes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12You've been thrown a lifeline there.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Bill helped you out there. - Thank you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17So, yes - 100. You have to score 49.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Now, Pete, what do you do? - I'm a children's entertainer.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- You see, I salute you. I salute you. - Thank you.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I think one of the hardest jobs in the world.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- So, do you have a character? Or do you...- Sort of, yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I mean, I go under the name of PJ. - And do you do magic?- Magic, yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- And games?- And games.- And do you do balloons?- I do balloons, yes.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Oh, you've got to have balloons. What's your best balloon thing?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42My best balloon? Um, the one that makes most people -
0:13:42 > 0:13:46mainly adults, actually - kind of go, "Wow!" is a fish.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Wow.- On a...- On a fishing rod.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- On a fishing rod.- On a line? - Yeah.- Wow.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It really does make adults go, "Wow!"
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It makes adults go, "Wow!" There you are.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59PJ, fish on a line.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Now, Pete, what we need from you is an answer that scores 49 or less.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Yep. OK, I'm going to go for...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Because it's a little bit older than the rest of them, I'm going to go
0:14:12 > 0:14:19for Mrs Potts in Beauty And The Beast, which was Angela Lansbury.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Angela Lansbury, says Pete. OK. Let's see.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25There's your red line, and if you get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Let's see how many people said Angela Lansbury.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's right.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Very well done.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Good, 13. You're in Round Two. - APPLAUSE
0:14:38 > 0:14:40113 is your total.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Terrific answer, Pete. Well played there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- She plays a teapot in that, Angela Lansbury.- She plays a teapot.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- She sure does.- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jane. Welcome back.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Thank you.- Welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I work at Shrewsbury hospital
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- and I work in the clinical audit department.- Clinical audit.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So what do you do there?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Well, we ask patients lots of surveys so that we can then analyse
0:15:07 > 0:15:11the data, and hopefully make patient experience a lot better.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- See, that's good. I'm glad to know that.- Yep.- Now, Jane, good news.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- You're through. You are through to the next round.- That's good.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21But do you fancy having a crack at this board?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23See how many of these you can talk us through?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well, the only one I knew was the top one.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So I'm going to have a bit of a laugh,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and say that Alex in Madagascar
0:15:33 > 0:15:35is Brian Sewell.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37LAUGHTER
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Laugh it up, laugh it up.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I did a cartoon with Brian Sewell, actually.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And I tell you what, he was brilliant. As you can imagine.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47He wasn't in Madagascar, though!
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I tell you what, I'd be so impressed if he were.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Brian Sewell, is that right? How many people said it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59No. I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03But you're through to the next round anyway, so it couldn't matter less.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06That might be the most anyone's ever made themselves laugh at an answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's not Brian Sewell. Do you know that one?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- It's Ben Stiller.- Oh, yes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Ben Stiller is the answer to that, would have scored you nine points. So, good answer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Rapunzel is a very good answer, as well.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22It's the American actor, Mandy Moore. Would have scored you four points.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Sulley...- That's John Goodman. - John Goodman, yes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30- Would have scored you 20. Smurfette. Do you know this?- Katy Perry.- Yes.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Would have scored you 19. And Po was...- Jack Black.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Jack Black, rather than James Bond, yeah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Although Jack Black would make a rather good James Bond.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Thank you very much. So at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair we're sending home
0:16:42 > 0:16:46with their high score of 150, it's Bill and Kim.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Yeah, James Bond, yes, I'm afraid that did for you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But we'll see you again next time, and we'll look forward to that very much.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Bill and Kim, thanks very much for playing.- Thank you.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And now, there are only three pairs.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Obviously at the end of this round we have to whittle that down to only two pairs.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Anything could happen in this round, but best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Politicians.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Politicians.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many British prime ministers
0:17:33 > 0:17:38with the first name John, James, Robert or William as they could.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44British PMs with first names John, James, Robert or William.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Richard.- Yep, looking for any Prime Minister since 1721
0:17:46 > 0:17:49listed on the UK government website with any of these names, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It can the name by which they're commonly known,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55or some prime ministers might have been born with one of those names and known by different names,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but we'll accept them as well. Very, very best of luck.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Thanks very much indeed. So, Jane, we come to you first. Jane B.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I'll go with a nice easy one, in case I mess it up again.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- I'll say John Major.- John Major, OK.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14John Major, let's see if that's right,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16let's see how many of our 100 people said John Major.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's right. Wee, 87, Jane.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Ooh! 87 for John Major. - It's a very big score.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Better than the last time, though. - Yeah, only a TINY bit, though.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Thanks very much. Now, Pete.- Yes. - John, James, Robert or William.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Um, I'm going to go with James Callaghan.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44James Callaghan, says Pete.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Callaghan.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's right.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- APPLAUSE - 54.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yeah, the only person to have ever held all four great offices of state,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03James Callaghan.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Prime Minister, Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Chancellor.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Only person in history. - Hmm. Now, Gav.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Yeah, it's devastating. I was going to say James Callaghan.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm not very good on my politics at all.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20So I'm going to take a wild guess at...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22John Smith.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25John Smith, says Gav. OK, let's see if that's right,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28let's see how many of our 100 people said John Smith.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I'm afraid not, Gav. I'm afraid not a prime minister.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Yeah, led the Labour Party of course, John Smith. But never prime minister.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:44 > 0:19:4854, the low score in that pass. Pete. Who'd have thought that?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Goodness me, 54.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Then up to 87, where we find Jane and Frances.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Then up to 100, Gav and Ceres.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Ceres, have you got any good ideas for the next pass?- One.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Good, one's all you need. Best of luck.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Let's hope it's a low score. Maybe it will be enough to keep you in the game.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12OK, we're looking for British prime ministers known by, or born with,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14one of these four names as their first name.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18John, James, Robert or William.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Ceres, you've got one. - I've got one.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- What are you going to go for? - I'm going to go for...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- William Pitt the Younger.- William Pitt the Younger, says Ceres.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34no red line for you as you are the highest scorer.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36How many people said William Pitt the Younger?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's a good answer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I suspect this will be our lowest score so far, and it is.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Look at that, down it goes. That's a great score, very well done.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- 11 for Pitt the Younger. - APPLAUSE
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Takes your total up to 111.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Let's hope that's enough to see you through.- Well played, Ceres.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56He was 24 years of age when he first took office,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and 18 years he lasted in his first term, as well.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Now, Jane and Pete.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Hello.- You're on 54. The high scorers on 111
0:21:05 > 0:21:06are now Ceres and Gav.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09If you can score 56 or less with your brilliant answer,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- you're in the head-to-head. - Right, OK.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I don't think it's going to be a brilliant answer,
0:21:14 > 0:21:15and I'm not 100% sure it's right.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18All the ones I was going to do have already gone.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm going to say William Hague.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- William Hague.- Mmm.- OK. There's your red line.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28If you get below that with William Hague, you're in the head-to-head.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Let's see if anyone said William Hague, is it right?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36No. Not a prime minister, Jane.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 154.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It'd definitely have been on the news
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- if William Hague had been prime minister.- I know. - LAUGHTER
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I thought he might have sneaked in there for a couple of months.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Thanks very much, Rich. Now, Frances.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54The high scorers currently Jane and Pete on 154. You're on 87.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So 66 or less gets you through.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02I think I'll go for a Robert, and I'll go for Robert Walpole.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Robert Walpole, says Frances. There's your red line.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10How many people said Robert Walpole?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You're in the head-to-head for the second time running.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- It's a great answer. 11. - APPLAUSE
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Joint lowest score of the whole round. 98 is your total, Frances.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Well done.- Yes, regarded as the first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and served for 20 years, which is still a record.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Ramsay MacDonald was born James,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40so he would have been a pointless answer.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44The Earl of Liverpool, Robert Banks Jenkinson was a pointless answer, Robert Gascoyne-Cecil also.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46A few more.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52There's a couple of good fake ones, like Ramsay MacDonald.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Anthony Eden would have scored you one point,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56because he was born Robert.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Gordon Brown would have scored you three points,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00because he was born James Brown.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02And Harold Wilson would have scored you four points,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04cos he was born James Wilson.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So there's a lot of James who are changing their names.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10the ones that most of our people said.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12William Gladstone would have scored you 24,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Robert Peel also would have scored you 24. There's James Callaghan, 54.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20And up the top, John Major with 87. You got through though, didn't you?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Yeah.- How about that?- Lucky. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:23:26 > 0:23:28with their high score of 154
0:23:28 > 0:23:30is Jane and Pete.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Yes, I'm afraid... That elusive William Hague premiership
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I'm afraid is what did for you there.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Jane and Pete, thanks very much for playing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Well, congratulations, Ceres and Gav, Jane and Frances,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56you are now one step closer to the final
0:23:56 > 0:24:00and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £3,000.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06This is the point where we have to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10The difference is you can now confer
0:24:10 > 0:24:13before you give your answers and the first pair to win two questions
0:24:13 > 0:24:15will be playing for the jackpot.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20So it's Saltash versus Oswestry. A kind of Derby all of its own.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yes, I think this is going to be very exciting.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34OK, here's your first question. And it concerns... Flowers.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Flowers, Richard?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yep, we're going to show you five pictures of flowers now.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42We just need you to give us their general common name, please.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- That's nice, isn't it?- Isn't it? That is nice.- Pictures of flowers.- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Let's reveal our five flowers. Here they come.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10OK, there we are. Five flowers.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Now, Ceres and Gav,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15you've played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- THEY WHISPER:- OK.- What do you think?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I think A is a pansy,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I think D is a fuchsia.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I think E is a foxglove,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25but I'm not sure. What do you think?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Do you know any?- D.- OK.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33OK, we're not 100% sure on any, but we're going to go for D,
0:25:33 > 0:25:39- as a fuchsia.- You're going to say fuchsia for D? OK.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Jane and Frances, Ceres and Gav have picked a fuchsia.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47What are you going to go for? Talk us through the board, if you like.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- A is a pansy.- Yep. - B we're not quite sure about.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54C is something exotic.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58And E, I think we'll go for, which is a foxglove.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03You're going to say foxglove for E? So we have fuchsia versus foxglove.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Ceres and Gav, you said fuchsia for D. Let's see if that's right.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said fuchsia.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Absolutely right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- 49. - APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Jane and Frances, you have said that E is a foxglove.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's right. Is it going to beat fuchsia?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35- Ooh, close!- Oh!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Look at that. 52. Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:26:39 > 0:26:40But Ceres and Gav,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43you come out of that one best. After one question you're up 1-0.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Well played, Ceres and Gav.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I think they were going to go for pansy,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49but fortunately they went back to the fuchsia. Well done.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Back to the fuchsia! - LAUGHTER
0:26:51 > 0:26:54So A is a pansy, I think everyone knew that.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Would have scored you 68 points.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59B, you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not getting this.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04- It's a forget-me-not. - Oh...- Is it?- Yeah.- Six points.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And C is the best answer on the board.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08This is very exotic. Do you know this?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, I was going to say it was just a lily caught having a stretch.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- LAUGHTER - I do that in the mornings.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's not really, it's a gloriosa.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Gloriosa. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- It is a variety of lily, but a very particular one.- A stretchy one.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- It's a stretchy lily, yeah. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26OK, here comes your second question.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Jane and Frances, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31but you do get to answer it first. So there we are. Best of luck.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It concerns... Science Books.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Science Books. Richard?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40We've given you five titles now of science books,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43but we've left out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44We've shown you the authors, as well.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Let's reveal our five science books, and here they come. We've got...
0:28:10 > 0:28:11I'll read those all again.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32There we are. Now, then.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Jane and Frances, you will go first this time.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- THEY WHISPER:- A Brief History Of Time is all I know.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45I think Carl Sagan is Pale Blue Dot.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47OK, I'm going to have a stab at...
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I'm not sure if it's right or not.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50But I don't know any of the others,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53apart from the top one, and I think that would be too high.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58So I'm going to go for Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Pale Blue Dot, say Jane and Frances. Pale Blue Dot.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Now, Ceres and Gav,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08We think the top one is A Brief History Of Time,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12and the bottom one, A Short History Of Nearly Everything.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15And we're try to figure out the third one,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17which we think is The Something Gene.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21But I can't... I don't know about you, I can't get that second word.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23So I think we'll go for the bottom one,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26A Short History Of Nearly Everything.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29A Short History Of Nearly Everything, say Ceres and Gav.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31OK, now Jane and Frances, you went with Pale Blue Dot,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34a bit of a guess. But possibly a good one.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Let's find out. Pale Blue Dot, is it right?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's absolutely right, Pale Blue Dot.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Still going down, look at that. It's a great score! 2, well done.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I thought that was going all the way down there. Very well done,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Now, Ceres and Gav, you've gone for
0:29:56 > 0:29:59A Short history Of Nearly Everything, the Bill Bryson book.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It's absolutely right.
0:30:05 > 0:30:082 is what it's got to beat, though.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11It's going to be close! Look at that, 9! Well done.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Another single-figure score.- Close!
0:30:14 > 0:30:17But Pale Blue Dot wins it, which means, Jane and Frances,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20you're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Pale Blue Dot, that term came into being
0:30:21 > 0:30:25when Carl Sagan asked the Voyager spacecraft to take a photograph of Earth
0:30:25 > 0:30:26from 3.7 billion miles away
0:30:26 > 0:30:29to remind humanity of its own insignificance,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33really, in the vastness of space.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Now, A Brief History Of Time would have scored too many points.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Only scored 37, though. It IS The Something Gene.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Not many words that fit in there, but one that does is selfish.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44The Selfish Gene. 10 points.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47The best answer on the board, there's almost nothing else
0:30:47 > 0:30:49that could fit in this. It's too very obvious words,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52and I can't think of anything else that would fit in those gaps.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- I've got one of them.- The... - Language.- Yep.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- What would that next one... - Instinct.- Oooh!- Instinct.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Ceres, what about that?- Well done. That would have scored you one point.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- That would have seen you into the final.- Oh...
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your third question.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Whoever wins this is through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17National Anthems.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18National Anthems. Richard?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Yeah, we'll show you now the titles of five national anthems.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24They'll be in the language of the country they're the national anthem
0:31:24 > 0:31:25- of, as well.- Oh, great(!)
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- LAUGHTER We need you to tell us the name... It's fun, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31We just want you to tell us the name of the countries, please.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34The team who gives us the best answer is going through to play
0:31:34 > 0:31:36for the jackpot, so very, very best of luck.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40OK, so let's reveal our five national anthems, and here they are.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00OK, there we are. Ceres and Gav.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- THEY WHISPER:- OK, so we have to say the country.- Yeah.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- I think the second from the bottom, Germany. Do you know any?- Yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Jana Gana Mana could be like, Mexican.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- I don't know. - I can't think what that is.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- We're going to have to... Oh, what do you want to do? - SHE LAUGHS
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Germany... Go for that?- Yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, we're going to have to take an educated guess, because
0:32:20 > 0:32:23we only know one for definite, and we think it's going to be humongous.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- So we're going to go for Het Wilhelmus and Germany.- Germany.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Yeah.- Germany, say Ceres and Gav, for Het Wilhelmus.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Now, Jane and Frances, the board is all yours.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Do you want to talk us through it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Obviously the top one is the USA, and that would be too many.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46- Um, La Marcha Real I would say was Spain.- We'll guess Spain.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50We'll guess Spain. I think we'll go for the bottom one, which is France.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Yeah, France.- OK, you're going to say France for La Marseillaise.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56So we have Germany versus France.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Germany is what Ceres and Gav have said, let's see if that is right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Germany.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Ooh... I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Which means, Jane and Frances, you merely have to be correct with
0:33:11 > 0:33:14the Marseillaise and France, and you are in the final.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Let's find out if you are correct.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21You are correct! Look at that, 93 people knew it, but who cares?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- APPLAUSE - You are in the final. After three questions, it's 2-1.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I suspect that might be the biggest score ever to win a head-to-head.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Very impressive. Yeah, Het Wilhelmus, not Germany.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36The German national anthem is Deutschlandlied.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It's the anthem of a country where I know lots of people watch Pointless,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42we get tweets from them all the time. They'll be standing up as we speak,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44cos they have to do that.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It is the Netherlands.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Would have scored you 24.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Now, right at the top there, the Star-Spangled Banner is the USA.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- That would have scored 84.- 84?!- Oh! - It scores fewer than France.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01La Marcha Real, I think everybody knew but nobody went for it, Spain.
0:34:01 > 0:34:07Would have scored you 52. And Jana Gana Mana is the anthem of...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- India.- Is it?- Would have scored you six points.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Very well done if you said that at home. Best answer by a mile.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17Being a bit rash with their rhyming there. Using up all their rhymes in the first three words.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20It means, "Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people."
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- That doesn't rhyme in English, does it?- No! - LAUGHTER
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Jana Gana Mana.- Thank you, that's very kind of you to say so.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I just think it's worth pointing these things out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I'm afraid it's Ceres and Gav.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38We will see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Great performance. With the exception of Germany,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42you haven't put a foot wrong in the head-to-head.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Just happened to be beaten by Pale Blue Dot there.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48But I think this bodes very well. Next time, surely, finalists.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- We'll look forward to that very much indeed. Ceres and Gav. - APPLAUSE
0:34:53 > 0:34:56But for Jane and Frances, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Congratulations, Jane and Frances.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You've seen off all the competition
0:35:03 > 0:35:05and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Very, very well done. You've done so well across both shows, actually.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You were the lowest-scoring pair in the last show.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28That didn't see you through to the final.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31But this time, through you came. What would you like to see
0:35:31 > 0:35:36- come up in this last round? - Um, vegetable growing.- Yeah.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Or art, I don't mind. Bit of art.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Maybe a bit of literature, depends on what it is.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- OK. Vegetable growing, art and literature.- Yeah!
0:35:46 > 0:35:50OK, well, best of luck. As always, you get to choose your category.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Brackets, from the four we put up on the board...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56So let's see what we've selected for you today. We have...
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I know a little bit about American crime writers.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Yeah, I don't know anything about any of the others.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15Artists In The Tate. We've been to the Tate. Winning Sporting Streaks?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Nah.- I don't really know what means. - I thought you asked for art.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Wasn't art one of the things you hoped might come up?- Yeah.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- And it has.- Mmm, I know...
0:36:23 > 0:36:25JANE LAUGHS
0:36:25 > 0:36:27American Crime Writers, or art?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Well, you said art, so... Yep, we'll go for it.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, so they are going to go for Artists In The Tate's Collection.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35OK, three different options now.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38We are looking for any artist with a work in the Tate's collection
0:36:38 > 0:36:42who was listed on the Tate.org website under the title Surrealist
0:36:42 > 0:36:45or British Surrealist, or any surrealist or British surrealist
0:36:45 > 0:36:46artist in the Tate collection.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Equally, anyone listed on that website under Pop Art
0:36:50 > 0:36:51or British Pop Art,
0:36:51 > 0:36:55or any female artist listed under Young British Artists.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58So any artist in the Tate collection according to their website,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Surrealists or British Surrealists, Pop Artists, British Pop Artists,
0:37:01 > 0:37:05or Female Young British Artists. Very, very best of luck.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- to be Pointless. Are you ready?- Yep.- Ready.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Your time starts now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- OK, surrealists, you've got Salvador Dali, obviously.- Yeah.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28- He's going to be too many.- Yeah. - Um... Er... Menet. Is it Menet?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Is he a surrealist?- I think he might be.- I'm not sure.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Pop artists. Know any of them? - Roy Lichtenstein. Andy Warhol.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39What's the Blake Guy?
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- Peter Blake, is it?- Is he a pop artist?- No, he's a cartoonist.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Is he?- He did Sgt Pepper's, didn't he?- Yeah, he did.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Young female British artist...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54THEY MUMBLE
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Blake? I don't know any female young British artist. Do you?
0:37:57 > 0:38:02Apart from...our mate from Margate.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Yep?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05So we'll forget the females.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Does Steve McQueen come in as one of those?- 10 seconds left.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Steve McQueen, yes?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- THEY MUMBLE - ...The Soldiers.- Yep.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Yeah?- OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What are you going to give me?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25We're going to go Steve McQueen.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Steve McQueen, will you say for which category you are answering?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- It's pop artist, isn't it?- Yeah. - OK, Steve McQueen as a pop artist. - Steve McQueen.- Roy Lichtenstein.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Roy Lichtenstein.- He's a pop artist. - Yep.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39And surrealist, I think was Manet.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Manet as a surrealist. OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Steve McQueen.- Steve McQueen we'll put last. Least likely?- Manet.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Manet, we'll pop first. - I'm not sure if that's right.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57We have Manet, we have Roy Lichtenstein,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00and we have Steve McQueen. Well, very best of luck.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Your first answer, the one you thought was probably least likely to
0:39:03 > 0:39:04be pointless,
0:39:04 > 0:39:08you weren't entirely confident about this one, was Manet. And in this case,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11we were looking for Surrealists in the Tate's collection.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Now, if one of these answers is correct and pointless,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17and you win 3,000 quid, what would you do with it? Jane?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I think it's got to be a garden makeover, or a new front door,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- or something like that. - Very nice. Frances?
0:39:24 > 0:39:30- We need a new door on our mortuary. - On the mortuary?- Yes.- Yes.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- We have a mortuary in our garden, which is my potting shed.- Ah.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It was a mortuary, obviously,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38they don't use it for dead bodies any more.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I'm slightly relieved by that, but that's OK. That's good.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44OK, Manet was your least confident answer.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Let's find out. If Manet is right, and if it's pointless,
0:39:47 > 0:39:49it'll win you that jackpot of £3,000.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51How many people said Manet? Is it right?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Ooh, I'm afraid Manet, not on the money.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01That is not a pointless answer. Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Your next answer, we were looking in this case for pop artists,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08and you went with Roy Lichtenstein. It obviously has to be right,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10then pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13For £3,000, how many people said Roy Lichtenstein?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16It's right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Well, Manet, your first answer, wasn't right,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22but Roy Lichtenstein is absolutely right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Down he takes us, through the teens into single figures,
0:40:26 > 0:40:27- still going down! 6!- Oh!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Oh, that's a good answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33A good answer, nice, low score.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36But sadly not a pointless answer, which means everything is now riding
0:40:36 > 0:40:41on your third and final answer, which is Steve McQueen.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44And again, we are looking for pop artists in this instance.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Steve McQueen. Let's find out if it's right,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48and if it is, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50For £3,000, how many people said Steve McQueen?
0:40:53 > 0:40:54No! Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- APPLAUSE - An incorrect answer there.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Great answer with your middle one, Roy Lichtenstein, going down to 6.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Unfortunately you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08which means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12That will roll over onto the next show. You've been so good, you've been brilliant company.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Great value right across two shows. And you've done so well.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- You get a Pointless trophy to take home for your troubles. - That's what we came for, anyway.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Very well done.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Sorry, Frances and Jane. You haven't stopped smiling across two shows, which has been terrific.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Talk me through the thought process that made you not go for Peter Blake in the end.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34You had him right to the last minute, then you left him out.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36We thought he was a cartoonist.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39We wasn't sure which category he came into.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- He did Sgt Pepper's, didn't he? - He DID do Sgt Pepper's.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44He is very much the epitome of pop art.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- And he would have just won you £3,000.- Oh!- Drat.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I KNEW you'd still be smiling. I knew it. I'm really sorry about that.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58That's the way it goes sometimes. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers
0:41:58 > 0:42:00in the different categories.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Surrealists, you could have had...
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You could have had Joan Miro, he's my favourite.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Giacometti would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Ben Nicholson as well. Henry Moore is also on that list.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14In fact, everyone apart from Salvador Dali, Magritte,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Man Ray and Max Ernst, everyone else on the list was a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Take a look at some of the pop artists.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And again, everyone there, apart from Warhol, who would have scored you
0:42:28 > 0:42:3233, Lichtenstein, Hockney is on the list, Richard Smith and Alan Jones.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Everybody else was a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And the female young British artists.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38There were six pointless answers here.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41There is Sam Taylor-Wood,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44who, like Steve McQueen, was an artist turned film director.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45And two other names,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48you could have had Abigail Lane and Fiona Banner.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Jane and Frances.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58But it's been great having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing. Jane and Frances.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well, sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04which means it rolls over onto the next show.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08And we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
