0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:26 > 0:00:29to 100 people before the show and all our contestants have to do
0:00:29 > 0:00:31is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Omar, this is Mark and we're friends from Leicester.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Jayne, I live in York
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and this is my dad, Alan. He's from Liverpool.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46And couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Nicola and this is Ross and we're married
0:00:49 > 0:00:50and we are from Belfast.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Eleanor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55This is my friend Karen, and I'm from Reading
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and Karen is from South Oxfordshire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show
0:01:05 > 0:01:07as it goes on along. So that just leaves one more person
0:01:07 > 0:01:10for me to introduce. Every pub quiz in the country has a picture of him
0:01:10 > 0:01:13behind the bar saying, 'Do not serve this man.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Afternoon. Good afternoon. - And to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- What a jackpot round we had last time.- Whoa! What about that?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The jackpot was six grand, so I'm nice little jackpot.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Ben and Amy, naming tennis players. Went for three particular answers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Missed out... They had one other answer in their 60 seconds
0:01:33 > 0:01:36they didn't go for. They were going to go for him all the way through...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Robin Soderling, a Swedish tennis player.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42They were going to go for him all the way through, all the way through.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43For whatever reason decided not to.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Got a wrong answer, a wrong answer, a 1-pointer
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and Robin Soderling was a pointless answer.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51AUDIENCE SIGHS Six grand that cost them.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I love the way you're looking sympathetic like you care.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every single one of you is rubbing your hands with glee and you know it.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So, nice little jackpot. There's only one returning pair from that game.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's Eleanor and Karen. A very special pair, though,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- cos Karen made us an amazing cake.- Amazing cake!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07After the show we managed to eat it as well and it was...
0:02:07 > 0:02:09it was as delicious as it was beautiful, I have to say.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12You're very welcome back even though you brought us nothing this time.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You brought us enough the first time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I'm assuming you haven't. Unless you've got something hidden away.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So, it should be a cracker. Yes, nice jackpot building up.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Excellent. Thanks very much indeed, Richard. All of our questions
0:02:22 > 0:02:25on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Our contestants are looking for the obscure answers
0:02:27 > 0:02:28those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Now, Amy and Ben didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So today's jackpot starts off at £7,000.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Right! If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, now the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:56 > 0:02:58will be eliminated. That's all you have to remember.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Our first category today is...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Capital Cities. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:06 > 0:03:08who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Capital Cities In Their Native Languages. Richard.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Fun this one. On each pass, we're going to show you
0:03:24 > 0:03:27the names of seven capital cities but written in their native language.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30You just need to tell us the English name for each of these capitals,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32please. There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36OK, so we are looking for the names of these capital cities in English.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38English names of these capital cities
0:03:38 > 0:03:39and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Mark. Here from Leicester. What do you do, Mark?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'm an electrician.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And how do you and Omar know each other?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Well, he came as work experience for us when he was a school kid.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And we just kept in touch.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16How did that go on the work experience front? Was he good, Omar?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Yeah, he wasn't bad.- Did he learn much?- Tried my best.- I think he did.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Omar, are you now an electrician?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23No, not at the minute.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Now, I'm just looking for a new job really.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27OK, now, Mark, what are your interests?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I play cricket very badly and I go fishing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I was waiting for a qualification.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36How good is your fishing? Is it OK?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Erm... It's not too bad.- Yeah, OK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Very good. Now, what about these capital cities.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I saw a look between you and Omar when capital cities came up.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm not going to say... It didn't look euphoric.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47No, probably not.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I think I'll go for Bucuresti, which should be Bucharest.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Bucharest says Mark. Sounds reasonable enough.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many
0:04:56 > 0:04:58of our 100 people said Bucharest for Bucuresti.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ooh, it's a high score there, Mark.
0:05:06 > 0:05:0778.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Yeah, the capital of Romania. It's a...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Yeah, you've got to wonder for the 22 who...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15who can't get Bucharest from Bucuresti.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- The clue's there in the first bit of the word, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Just knocking the 'I' off really, isn't it?- It is essentially...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24it is essentially in English with an 'I' on the end, isn't it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Yeah. It's what... If you're in...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28if you're in a childhood game trying to make up
0:05:28 > 0:05:31what Bucharest would be in Romanian, you go, "Bucuresti."
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Yeah, exactly.- Or you might go, "Bucurestov,"
0:05:34 > 0:05:36but either way you'd get it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Yeah, I think you might.- Unless you are 22% of the British population.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:05:40 > 0:05:42In which case, you go, "Oh, I don't know.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44"Is it Edinburgh? Is it Edinburgh?"
0:05:44 > 0:05:45AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Thanks very much indeed. Now, Alan, welcome to the show.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Good to have you here. What do you do, Alan?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I manage a community learning centre.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Good for you. But what...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Do you actually do any teaching there or are you more in the office?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I used to. I used to. I am a qualified...teacher.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's more the management.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Mainly applying for funding to keep the centre open because we are...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09To keep it going, yeah. What do you do in your spare time, Alan?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14I'm a big Liverpool Football Club supporter.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Erm, and an inspiring magician.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- An aspiring magician? - An aspiring mag....
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm more Tommy Cooper than Dynamo.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26ALEX LAUGHS
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Are you in the Circle yet?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I've been try... I've been thinking of applying for...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33How do you apply for The Magic Circle?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Is it something you officially do or do you just leave something
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- somewhere and hope...? - No, you have to go
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and give like a 15-minute presentation
0:06:42 > 0:06:44including several magic tricks.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And if they think you're good enough, they'll welcome you aboard.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Wow, good luck with that, though.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That'd be... That's a fun circle to be part of, surely!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Now, Alan, what about this board of capital cities?
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Well, I'll have a go at the fourth one down.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'll say Vienna.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Wien, Vienna says Alan. Vienna. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's see how many people said Vienna.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It is, of course, absolutely right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, you passed 78. 49 for Wien.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yeah, home to the world's oldest zoo, Vienna. It's been there...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- How old is that zoo?- Well, it's continuously been there since 1752.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Wow!- So, what's that, 360 odd years.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31What did they have when it first opened?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34When it first opened, they had a lot of baby animals and chicks
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- and now fully grown.- Fully grown. Ha! That's nice.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40When it first started, they had a giraffe that high.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Ha! Oh...- And an elephant that size.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Oh...- Now when you go there, there's loads of them.- There's lots of eggs.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yeah, yeah. Yes, they... They have a lot of eggs.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52But, I mean, the oldest zoo, the first zoo to open. I mean...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54what did they have, some dogs?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58The first zoo ever to open would've had a mammoth of some sort probably.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Probably.- Yeah, unlikely.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03But maybe. Maybe, they had zoos.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Maybe. Who knows?- We don't know. - We DON'T know.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Archaeological evidence, they've never found near...mammoth skeletons,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12they've never found a gift shop.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ha!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16So, we think there weren't zoos.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That's a good point. Thank you very much. Now, Nicola, welcome.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Welcome to Pointless.- Hello. - Good to have you here.- Thank you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Nicola, what do you do?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I am an assistant assembly clerk in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30And which is your department there?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I work in the outreach office and I look after VIP visits.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Oh, that's got to be the best job of them all, isn't it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- It is, very good.- Quite stressful.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It can be, yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42VIPs can be very demanding, but the majority of them are very nice
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and you and Richard are very welcome to come.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Oh, I'd do that.- Would we be VIPs if we go into Belfast?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49ALEXANDER & RICHARD: To the Northern Ireland Assembly.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- That'd be amazing.- Yeah, I'm sure we could shake things up
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- there a little bit.- Yeah, we... I'll say! Yeah!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Anyway now, listen. Nicola, what do you make of that board?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Erm, I think I know a few.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03This might be slightly risky, but I'll give it a go.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05La Habana, Havana.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Slightly risky(?) - HE LAUGHS
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well, let's find out. La Habana, Havana.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh. It's like 'Bucuresti' all over again.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Let's see if that's right, shall we?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It is right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25That's not bad at all. 42. The lowest score of the round, Nicola.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I eat my words. 42, very well done indeed. Havana.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yes, Havana, the capital of Cuba. Absolutely right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36It's only 90 miles from the States, Havana.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38But, yeah, again, I think perhaps people...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I mean, that's half the population perhaps not knowing
0:09:40 > 0:09:43that Havana is a capital city. I don't know.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- There we go. OK, Eleanor...- Hi.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46You are the last person to have this board,
0:09:46 > 0:09:51so get thinking about that board while you tell us about last time.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Well, we went out on the first round.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- 'John Barnes' we had from you. - It was John Barnes, yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It was people's whose surnames begin with a 'B'.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Nothing wrong with either of your answers.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- John Barnes, that was a great answer!- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05For some reason everyone seemed to know it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- It just wasn't low enough.- Very much the 'Bucuresti' of that round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Remind us what you do, Eleanor.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I'm a science technician at a local secondary school.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Excellent. Now, that is not really going to inform any kind of
0:10:17 > 0:10:20knowledge of capital cities in their own language.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22No, it doesn't really help.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24But have a crack at that board.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26See if you can talk us through as many of them as you can.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Well, I don't know the top one. The next one I think is Lisbon.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Athinai, I'm guessing is Athens.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I think... Oh, gosh, I'm going to go for Lisbon.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41OK. Lisboa, let's see if that is Lisbon.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- You enjoying my 'Lish-boa' by the way?- Really enjoying it, yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I was told that was how it's meant to be said.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So, yeah, 'Lish...Lish-boa'. It sounds a bit...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- They've got one of those in... - Bit Dutch.- ..in Vienna zoo,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54a 'Lish-boa'. ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:10:54 > 0:10:56They have. I bet. Thanks very much.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58So, Lisboa says Eleanor.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Let's see if that's right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lisbon for that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09It's absolutely... Ooh, ooh, ooh. Look at that! 93. I'm sorry.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, it's 'John Barnes' all over again is what that is.
0:11:12 > 0:11:1493 for Lisboa.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'm afraid, yes, that is a high score. Richard.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It is a big score, isn't it? Lisbon in Portuguese, of course, is Lisboa.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Athinai would have been a slightly better answer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It is Athens, but would have only scored you 85.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Still a big score, though.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Now, Krung Thep...- Pff.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- It's in Thai, so it's... - Bangkok.- Bangkok.
0:11:33 > 0:11:3512 points for that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39And Tarabulus is in Arabic
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and it's the capital of Libya. It's Tripoli.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Oh, it's Tripoli.- 4 points for that, so that's a terrific answer.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Well done if you said that. - Things very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48We are halfway through the round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:50 > 0:11:5142 the best score of that pass.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Nicola, very well done indeed.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Up to 49 where we find Alan and Jayne.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Up to 78, Mark and Omar.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You thought you were the high scorers but you're not.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Because I'm afraid, Eleanor and Karen that is you. 93.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yeah, Lisboa. Massively expensive scorer there.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But Karen, you get first pick of the next board. So, use it well.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Find a lovely low score and let's hope it's enough to see you
0:12:11 > 0:12:14through to the next round. We're going to come back down the line.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22OK, let's put seven more capital cities up on the board
0:12:22 > 0:12:24in their own languages. And here we are.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48There we are. So, remember, we're looking for the English names
0:12:48 > 0:12:51for these capital cities. And Karen, you're going to try to find the one
0:12:51 > 0:12:53you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Now, Karen, remind us what you do.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm a librarian at a sixth form college.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01OK. And in your spare time, Karen, what do you get up to?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Well, apart from making cakes.- Mmm! - I enjoy music.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09I play the trombone and the piano and I enjoy singing as well.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Do you play the trombone in a band or...?- Erm, I have done.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I've played with brass bands in the past,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17but at the moment I'm not playing very much.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19But there is a small group of friends
0:13:19 > 0:13:23and we get together from time to time and...
0:13:23 > 0:13:24blow a few tunes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Blow some tunes. OK, now, Karen, there you are.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The high scorers on 93.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32You're not way ahead of Omar and Mark, but you are ahead.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35So, we need a low score. What do you make of that board, first off?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Well, there's a few there that I'd have a stab at.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43So, I'm going to go for the bottom one and say that that's Prague.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45OK, Prague says Karen
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and let's see how many of our 100 people said Prague for Praha.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:5775, that is a high score.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04168. I mean, you're just them of a chance of remaining with us
0:14:04 > 0:14:05at the end of the round.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Yeah, that's the capital of the Czech Republic in Czech.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- Now, Ross...- Hiya.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- ..welcome. All right, what do you do, Ross?- I am a civil servant.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- A civil servant...- Uh-huh.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18In a...just in the civil service of Northern Ireland.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21In the civil service, yes. Northern Ireland civil service.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Can we ask any further than that or is the best that we don't?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Erm, if I had to tell you, then I'd have to kill you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Go on, tell him.- Go on. Yeah, that's fine.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:14:32 > 0:14:35But when you're not...serving...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37civilly, what do you do, Ross?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I love golf.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I'm absolutely awful at it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I hack my way around a number of courses, getting frustrated.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Getting lessons, getting better,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47go out on the golf course and playing terrible.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Erm, that's pretty much my main following - football.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54OK, now then, Ross, you're on 42.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57You are through to the next round even if you score 100 points.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00However, I think... You know, look how well Nicola did.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The lowest score on the first pass. See if you can keep that record up.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Yeah, yeah, I think I know three of them.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10One of them I think is risky, but I could go for it because we are safe.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12And I think it's Baile Atha Cliath,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14which I think, and I could get killed for this at home,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think it's Dublin?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Let's find out if it's right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20No red line for you as you are already through,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22but let's see if that is indeed Dublin.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It is absolutely Dublin. Very well done, Ross.
0:15:32 > 0:15:3310.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Another superb low score on podium three there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Takes your total up to 52.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well played, Ross. That fell nicely, didn't it? Talking of zoos.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Talking of Dublin Zoo,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46you know the lion that roars at the start of all the MGM films?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- It was born in Dublin Zoo.- Then...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- And it went over to LA to seek its fortune? Or what?- Yeah, exactly.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Very much sort of... A lot like Colin Farrell.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Yeah! Actually, a lot like Colin Farrell.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- A lot like Colin Farrell!- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Excellent. Good stuff. Now, Jayne.- Hello.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Jayne, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Always nice to have a father-daughter combination.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Yeah, exactly.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's very much a favourite combination on Pointless.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10But what do you do, Jayne?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'm a commercial trainee for a confectionery
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- and food and drink company.- That's just the best job ever, isn't it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Commercial trainee, it's basically just...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You can just go around and say, "I'll have a bit of that,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- "have a bit of that, yum, yum?" - Tasting everything, yeah.- Mmm.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And drinks as well? So, when you've eaten your fill,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28you can then go and have all the drinks. Lovely! Perfect.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30How long have you done that for?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Um, so, for about six months now.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34So I get to try out lots of different jobs.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36So, I've done export shipping
0:16:36 > 0:16:38was my first one and I'm about to move into HR.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41So you will get to choose, will you, or will it be their choice?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- At the end of it, yes, I'll get to specialise.- Oh, that's wonderful!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Which...which confectionary you have.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- Yes.- OK, now, you're on 49.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Again, you are already through to the next round,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54which is great news, but let's see if you can find a nice low score
0:16:54 > 0:16:56on that board.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Oh, it all just looks like it's in another language to me.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Do you know what, that is exactly what it is.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:17:03 > 0:17:06You have hit the nail on the head right there, Jayne.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11To be honest, it's actually in several different languages, that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Erm, I think the top one is Copenhagen.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You're going to go for Copenhagen for Kobenhavn.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23let's see how many of our 100 people said it. No red line.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24You are already through.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28It's right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:3145.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- ALAN:- Well done.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36A good answer and, better still, a lower score than your dad.
0:17:36 > 0:17:3894 is your total. Well done.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Yeah, a surprisingly low score I would've thought for that one.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46You know, one in four Danes has a surname Jensen, Hansen or Nielsen.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Of those three, I would go for Jensen. If I had a choice.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Would you?- I think so, yeah. - I would go for Jensen as well,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53but I can't have it cos you've got that. So I'll go for, erm...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55We could be bo... I mean, it's one in four.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'll be Dick Hansen.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Dick Hansen.- Dick Hansen, private eye.- Oh, that's good!
0:18:00 > 0:18:01- Not bad, is it?- Dick Hansen!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And you can be my sort of a playboy sidekick
0:18:04 > 0:18:06who occasionally gets involved in my schemes.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Alexander Jensen.- Alexander Jensen. - Lord Alexander Jensen...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- IN PLUMMY VOICE:- Hello! That's what he says, I think.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- That's quite good, isn't it? - Yeah, it's good. Yeah!
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Thanks very much indeed. Now, OK. Omar.- Yes.- Welcome.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Omar, favouring just...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24This is just the thing we are keeping tabs of on this series,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- the rolled up short-sleeve. - Yes, he is, yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29We're looking at people's sleeve lengths on this...on this series.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- I'm trying to intimidate. - We've seen shorter.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Omar, we've seen a lot shorter.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- We have seen shorter. - Yeah, we really have.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'll tell you what we've never had on the show, yet,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39is a fag packet rolled up in there...in the sleeve.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41THEY LAUGH
0:18:42 > 0:18:44But quite often, Omar and Mark,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47we'll see people in the short-sleeved shirts now
0:18:47 > 0:18:50with the button done up. That's just...just an observation.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- That seems to be the way the shirt's going.- Must be the fashion.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It must be. It must be. But so is that.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Anyway, Omar, so, yes, you are no longer...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Not an electrician any longer.- No.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01So the world is your oyster.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Erm, now looking to possibly join the Army.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Right, you are. OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Any particular regiment you've got your eye on?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, I was looking at possibly going into the RAF,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13but if I was to go into standard army,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I want to be an engineer possibly.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Yeah, if you went to the RAF, you've got the shirt for it.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21That'd be fantastic. Anyway, listen, there you are. You're on 78.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24This is where we have... We have a contest on our hands here
0:19:24 > 0:19:26because our returning couple, our only returning couple,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Eleanor and Karen on 168.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33You're on 78, you have to score 89 or less.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Do you fancy talking us through the board?- Erm, well, Roma is,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42obviously, Rome. Warsz... 'War-so-ra-blah' would be Warsaw.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- 'War-so-ra-blah'? - THEY LAUGH
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It'll do. I know what you mean, I know what you mean.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Mansk, I have an inkling it may be Minsk.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56But I think Warsaw should score enough, so I'll go with Warsaw.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- OK that's your Warsaw for 'War...' - HE SLURS END OF WORD
0:20:00 > 0:20:04There is your red line. If you can get below that with Warsaw
0:20:04 > 0:20:06for Warszawa, you are through to Round Two.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Let's see if you can. Is it right?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Doh! Look at that, 84.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1884. Takes your total up to 162. Very close.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21That is cutting it fine. Well played, Omar.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Yeah, and actually, if you'd gone for Roma, which is Rome,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27you would have been knocked out because it's 93 points for that.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And that really does beg the question,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- what were the other seven people thinking?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Mansk would have been a terrific answer.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It was Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42It would've scored you 34 points and this last one,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44it's in the pronunciation. You can hear the name of the city.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah, Cairo.- Al-Qahira. Cairo.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah, and it would've scored 7 points. That's a terrific answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Well done if you said that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57the pair heading home, it's our returning their Karen and Eleanor.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And they seemingly just can't get beyond Round One.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now, Eleanor, did you know others on the board
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- that were lower scores?- Yeah, they had all gone.- Oh, I see. I see.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- So it was Lisbon all over... - It's the curse of this podium.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yeah, it can be. You see, I always tell people that's a great podium.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- I'm now beginning to realise it's not always.- It's not.- It is though.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17You get first choice the second time round. That's why it's good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20And sometimes it forces you into...into a lower-scoring answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Didn't today though, I'm afraid. Sorry. Karen, Eleanor,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25it's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm sorry we're saying goodbye so soon.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:21:40 > 0:21:42in time for our head-to-head round.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, everybody did pretty well there. There were no clangers.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And Omar, you nearly went for Minsk,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50which would have been a fantastic answer.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Yeah, instead I gave myself palpitations.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54No, you didn't. You went for Warsaw.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56THEY LAUGH
0:21:56 > 0:21:58But no, that was a good...that was a good answer.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It was very, very close there, but very exciting.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03But no, I think all three pairs have acquitted themselves well.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06It should promise to be a good second round. Best of luck with it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Our category for Round Two today is...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Film. Can you all decide in your pairs whose going to go first,
0:22:14 > 0:22:15who's going to go second?
0:22:15 > 0:22:20And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, and the questions concerns...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The 2014 Oscars 'Selfie'. Richard.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yeah, we are about to show you the most re-tweeted photograph in history
0:22:32 > 0:22:35taken at that Oscars in 2014, the selfie.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38We need you to name any of the 12 people you are about to see.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So any of the 12 people you see on the photograph
0:22:41 > 0:22:42that's about to come up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Thanks very much indeed. As Richard just said,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48we want you to name any person in this picture.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Let's reveal the picture and here it is.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54There you go.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00OK. Now, Mark. Mark.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07I'm not very good on actors, but I think...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Brad Pitt is in there somewhere.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11OK, so you're going to say Brad Pitt. Let's see if that's right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Let's see how many people said Brad Pitt.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2070 for Brad Pitt.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Yeah, there he is, third from right in the back row. Brad Pitt.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Big score.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, now Alan.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Alan.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I'm panicking.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Erm, total guess.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Ellen DeGeneres.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- A total guess?- Yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Not prompted by any picture of her in front of you
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- or anything like that? - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:23:49 > 0:23:53A total stab in the dark...
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ellen DeGeneres.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58All right. Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100
0:23:58 > 0:24:00people said Ellen DeGeneres.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It is right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Look at that! Beats Brad Pitt by a long way.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Look at that! 42. Not bad at all.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Yeah, we've got to crack down on people saying 'total guess'
0:24:14 > 0:24:18and then saying something... You know what, a total guess would have been
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Nigel Mansell. AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:24:19 > 0:24:21That would have been a total guess.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- That was my other option.- Saying someone who's right in the middle
0:24:24 > 0:24:27of the photograph and hosted the Oscars and tweeted the photo, it's...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- That's not a total guess.- No.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Thanks very much. Now, Ross.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I think I know a few, but I'm beginning to get just self-doubt.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Erm...
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I'm going to play it safe and say Kevin Spacey.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Kevin Spacey says Ross. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Let's see how many people said Kevin Spacey.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's right. 70, our high score, you passed that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5442, our low score, you passed that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5529.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well done, Ross. Best score so far.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yeah, two-time Oscar-winner, Kevin Spacey
0:25:02 > 0:25:04wasn't nominated this year. There he is next to Brad Pitt.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07OK. Thank you very much indeed. We are halfway through the round.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Let's take a look at those scores.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12The best score of that pass so far, Ross, very well done. 29 for you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Then up to 42 where we find Alan and Jayne.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Up to 70 where we find Mark and Omar.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19So Omar, you've got a little bit of time.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Get thinking of a really good, obscure answer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- I think I got one. - Uh! That's good news.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let's hope it's enough to get you into the head-to-head.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're going to come back down the line out.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Now then, Nicola.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I am a massive Oscars fan and I watched the Oscars this year
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and I watched him take the selfie.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's good. You're setting yourself up quite high here.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Let's have a...let's have a really lovely low score from you.- OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Lupita Nyog'o.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54That is a brilliant answer. Lupita Nyog'o.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Let's see if that is right. There is your red line.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59If you can get below that with Lupita Nyog'o,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01you are through to the next round.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07It's right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Very well done indeed.
0:26:13 > 0:26:152!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17There's your reward, Nicola.
0:26:17 > 0:26:2031. Lupita Nyong'o!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- That's a great answer. - Yeah, well done, Nicola.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Slightly giving you the benefit of the doubt.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's Lupita Nyong'o, but Nyog'o...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28She talks a lot about how people mispronounce it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think you got the first name and 95% of the surname as well
0:26:31 > 0:26:33so, I think that's an exceptional answer.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Yes, she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role
0:26:36 > 0:26:40in 12 Years A Slave. It was her first-ever feature film.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Jayne.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- How we feeling about this? - I'm not sure now.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Everyone else seems really confident,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52so I don't know whether to take a risk with someone
0:26:52 > 0:26:54who I'm not sure is even in the picture.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I think I can see Russell Brand.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I'm not sure if it is.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Russell Brand says Jayne. There's your red line.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05If you get below that with Russell Brand, you are in the head-to-head.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm sorry, Jayne. I'm afraid, Russell Brand isn't in that selfie.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16That scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 142.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Yeah, sorry, Jayne, not him, I'm afraid.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- See, Alan, that's a total guess. - Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Omar.- Yes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28You said you've got a good answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- I may have a good answer. - You said you may have a good answer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Listen, you have to score 71 or less. That's it
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- and you're in the head-to-head. - Oh...
0:27:36 > 0:27:38You can talk us through your thoughts if you like.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I think the middle one is possibly Cameron Diaz,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46but I think I'm going to take a risk.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49On the left Mr Half-face,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Jared Leto or Jared 'Leeto' from 30 Seconds To Mars.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Jared Leto you're going to say. There is your red line.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Let's see if you can get below that with Jared Leto.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And you are in the head-to-head. Well done, Omar.
0:28:11 > 0:28:137.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Takes your total up to 77.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yeah, Jared Leto, Mr Half-face there.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23He won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Dallas Buyers Club.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Now, Lupita Nyong'o is a great answer,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28but there's two answers there that are better than that.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31There is Channing Tatum at the back there.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33He would have scored you 1 point.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Lupita Nyong'o's brother is also famously in the photo
0:28:35 > 0:28:37and if you said Lupita Nyong'o,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39you've already said his name cos his name is Peter Nyong'o.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41And it would have scored you of 1 point.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44He's a student at a university in Florida.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Now, in the rest the board, I'll give you the scores.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Jennifer Lawrence there in the red, she would have scored you 12 points.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Bradley Cooper, who actually took the photo,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55he would have scored you 25 points.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58No Cameron Diaz, but Julia Roberts is there next to Kevin Spacey.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00She would have scored you 27.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03And with her hand in front of her face there is Angelina Jolie.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07She would have scored you 19, and we've heard of everyone else
0:29:07 > 0:29:10apart from just tucked into the bottom there, Meryl Streep,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12who would have scored you 31 points.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So, at the end of our second round, I'm sorry to say the pair
0:29:17 > 0:29:20who are heading home is our father-daughter combo.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I'm sorry, Jayne and Alan, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24But we will see you again next time.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26We will look forward to seeing you then.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Jayne and Alan, I'm sure you'll do even better than,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- but thanks for much for playing. - Thank you.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for the head-to-head.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Congratulations, Nicola and Ross, Omar and Mark.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44You are one step closer to the Final
0:29:44 > 0:29:48and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £7,000.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Oh, it's getting very exciting!
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We have to decide who's going to go through to the Final
0:29:55 > 0:29:58and play for that money. To do that, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00The difference, of course, is you're now allowed to confer
0:30:00 > 0:30:01before you give your answers.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05First pair to win two questions will be going through to the Final
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and playing for seven grand. Well, very well done, both pairs.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11It's a Belfast-versus-Leicester head-to-head.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15And what heads they are! We've had some great answers from both of you.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I think this is going to be a very, very tight contest.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29OK, here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:30:31 > 0:30:33The Industrial Revolution. Richard.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Simply five clues now to facts about the Industrial Revolution.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41We've got...
0:31:03 > 0:31:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25There we are. Now then, Nicola and Ross,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28you played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- WHISPERS:- The Dickens novel might be Hard Times.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I've got spinning jenny in my head but that would be a total guess.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41We'll go for the Dickens novel - Hard Times.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Hard Times say Nicola and Ross. Hard Times.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, Omar and Mark, do you fancy talking us
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- through the rest of the board? - Erm...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I think I know the third one,
0:31:52 > 0:31:56but I thought that it was the Great Eastern Ship.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58But what do you want to... Should I go with that?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Should we go with that? - Yeah, why not?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I'll try it and I'll say Isambard Brunel.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06OK, you're going to say Brunel.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10So, we have Hard Times and we have Isambard Brunel.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Nicola and Ross, you went with Hard Times.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Let's see if that's right for Coketown
0:32:14 > 0:32:17and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hard Times.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Yes, it's right.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26That is a good answer, Nicola and Ross! Look at that!
0:32:26 > 0:32:288, very well done indeed.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Now then, Omar and Mark have gone for Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Let's see if that's right
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Absolutely right, of course.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46It has to beat 8, though, if you're going to win the point.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Is it? No, 42
0:32:52 > 0:32:54All right, Nicola and Ross, well done. After one question
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- you're up 1-0.- Yeah, well played. I think Nicola got that one.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00So terrific answer. He did do the Great Eastern Ship as well,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06The city that was nicknamed Cottonopolis is Manchester,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10centre of the cotton trade. Would have scored you 28 points.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13The female name is the spinning 'Jenny,' very big score though.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15We all learned that school, didn't we?
0:33:15 > 0:33:1964 points. And the steam engine pioneer is James Watt
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and that would have scored you 13.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23So best answer on the board, Hard Times.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Thanks very much indeed. So here comes your second question.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Omar and Mark, you get to answer it first,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Best of luck. It concerns...
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Children's Party Games. Richard.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39We're going to show you five children's party games now
0:33:39 > 0:33:42but in anagram form. Can you unscramble them, please? Good luck.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45OK. Let's reveal our five children's party games, and here they are.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46We've got...
0:33:57 > 0:33:58I'll read those again.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Omar and Mark, you'll go first.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:34:09 > 0:34:12I can't see musical chairs.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Which one are you going for? - Go with your one.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18We will go for 'replaces paths' as pass the parcel.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Pass the parcel, 'replaces paths' say Omar and Mark.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Now Nicola and Ross, do you want to talk us
0:34:24 > 0:34:26through the rest of the board as much as you can?
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Erm, despite having a three-year-old daughter, not too sure
0:34:31 > 0:34:34for the bottom one, which we think is pin the tail on the donkey.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- OK, that's the one you're going to go for?- Yeah.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40OK, pin the tail on the donkey for 'lady took nineteenth hip'.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43So, pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Omar and Mark went for 'pass the parcel'. Let's see if that's right.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Let's see how many people said it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51It's right.
0:34:55 > 0:34:5646.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Nicola and Ross have gone for 'pin the tail on the donkey'.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:35:04 > 0:35:05let's see how many people said that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09It is right.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Is it going to beat 46? It is! Very well done indeed.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Look at that 27 for pin the tail on the donkey.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Which means, Nicola and Ross, after only two questions,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22you are straight through to the Final. 2-0. Well done.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Yeah, well played. The two biggest scorers there...
0:35:25 > 0:35:27All answers are things you'll know very well,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29but there's some tough ones there.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Let's look at 'blabbing pope' first.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35That is apple bobbing. That would have scored you 7 points.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Now 'erase untruth' should be easy when you hear the answer.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40For some reason, a very, very hard anagram.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43It's 1 point if you said treasure hunt.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45NICOLA AND ROSS GROAN
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I know, right! And 'gong opens arcade' is a pointless answer.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Again, a very familiar answer as well as soon as you hear it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Very well done if you said
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- egg and spoon race.- Oh, no!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Frustrating, isn't it? - I know! Why are they so hard?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02They were really hard for some reason.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Yeah, well, thanks very much indeed.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:06 > 0:36:07I'm afraid, Omar and Mark.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Nothing wrong with either of your answers in this head-to-head round,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13but Nicola and Ross just managed to undercut you on each of those.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15It means we get to see you again, though.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17If you'd gone through to the Final,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19it would only have been one show. So, that's good news.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- But thanks very much for playing. Omar and Mark.- Thank you.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But for Nicola and Ross, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Congratulations, Nicola and Ross, you've seen off all the competition
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £7,000.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Just one appearance on Pointless,
0:36:52 > 0:36:56and a stealth raid on the trophy cupboard. Very, very well done.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We've thrown lots of different things at you
0:36:58 > 0:36:59and you've come back each time.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02As always, you get to choose your category for this last round
0:37:02 > 0:37:03and there are four options for you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Let's see what they are. We've got...
0:37:14 > 0:37:15Oh, I don't know.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18It's up to you. I'm happy to go with anything you want.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Royalty On Screen.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Erm...mmm...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- All right, Royalty On Screen. - SHE LAUGHS
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- OK?- Yeah.- Royalty On Screen it is.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32OK, here's your three options. Let's take a look at them.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37We are looking for any credited actor in the 1998 film Elizabeth.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39So anyone who on IMDb who's credited in that.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Any of the cast members of 2006's film The Queen.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Or, from 1971, any of the cast of Carry On Henry.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Very different film there.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52So, any cast member of Elizabeth, The Queen,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54or Carry On Henry as according to IMDb.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Very, very best of luck.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And all you need to win that £7,000 jackpot is for just
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yep.- Yep.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Your time starts now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Well, Helen Mirren was the queen, I think.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Michael Sheen played Tony Blair in it.- Oh, yes.- It was about...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- a reaction after Diana died. - Yes.- So who play Charles?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Erm, and who played Philip?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Oh, Philip was...
0:38:26 > 0:38:31Philip was... The guy from Six Feet Under, the second husband.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Oh, the older man?- Yes. - I can see him. Oh...
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- The American.- He was in LA Confidential.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Yes, uh-huh.- Oh...
0:38:40 > 0:38:43What's his name? Anything else? We have 30 seconds.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Erm, Carry On Henry... I don't know.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Carry On Henry, you've got... - Sid.- ..woman and Sid Owen.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Not Sid Owen.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53SHE LAUGHS
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Cast of The Queen, any British actors.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I don't know, Colin Firth.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Definitely Michael Sheen and Helen Mirren. Oh...
0:39:00 > 0:39:0110 seconds left.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03What's that guy called?
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- That's us.- OK. That is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Well, from the cast of The Queen, Helen Mirren.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Helen Mirren.- Michael Sheen. - Michael Sheen.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- And Colin Firth.- And Colin Firth.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Have to be Colin Firth. - Michael Sh...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Well, Colin Firth's not very... Michael Sheen.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Michael Sheen we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Helen Mirren.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Helen Mirren, we'll put first and then Colin Firth in the middle.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42We've got Helen Mirren, we've got Colin Firth
0:39:42 > 0:39:45and we've got Michael Sheen. Well, very best of luck.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Your first answer, the one you thought was probably least likely
0:39:48 > 0:39:51to be pointless was Helen Mirren.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Let's hope one of these is pointless.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56If one is and you win that jackpot of £7,000,
0:39:56 > 0:39:57do you have any plans for that?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Well, we are pretty big fans of Orlando
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- so it will probably revolve around Orlando in some way.- Holidays.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05OK, well, very best of luck.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07As I say, your first answer was Helen Mirren.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Let's find out if she was in The Queen.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11If she was, let's find out how many people said it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well, it's right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Let's see... Ooh! 70. - THEY LAUGH
0:40:23 > 0:40:2470.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30So not a pointless answer. I think we'd all have been quite surprised
0:40:30 > 0:40:32if Helen Mirren had been a pointless answer there.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34So, only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39Your second answer was Colin Firth also the cast member of The Queen.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Let's see if that's right. If it is and if it's pointless,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45you'll win £7,000. How many people said Colin Firth?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Doh! I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53So only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Your third and final answer is Michael Sheen.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Let's find out. It has to be right,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03So, for £7,000, how many people said Michael Sheen?
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Well, it's right.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Your first answer, Helen Mirren, took us all the way down to 70.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Colin Firth was incorrect, but Michael Sheen now taking us down
0:41:15 > 0:41:17through the teens into single figures still going down.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Down goes Michael Sheen.- Oh!- 3.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26That's a great answer.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Lovely low score but unfortunately I'm afraid you didn't find
0:41:29 > 0:41:32that vital pointless answer. So you don't win today's jackpot of £7,000.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35That will roll over onto the next show. But we really enjoyed having
0:41:35 > 0:41:39you on the show. You've done so well consistently, every single round.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42You get a Pointless trophy each to take away for you troubles.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- So, very, very well done. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46APPLAUSE
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Yeah, unlucky. The actor you're thinking of who played Prince Philip,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54he's been in all sorts of things. He's been in Babe, lots of things.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Great actor. It's James Cromwell is his name.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58If you had said James Cromwell,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- you'd have scored 1 point. BOTH:- Oh!
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Yeah. Imagine that!
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Let's start with Elizabeth.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Christopher Eccleston who played the Duke of Norfolk.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Daniel Craig, Emily Mortimer, John Gieldud plays the pope in that.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16You could've have had Angus Deayton is in it, Edward Hardwicke...
0:42:16 > 0:42:19in fact, everyone apart from Cate Blanchett, Eric Cantona,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Joseph Fiennes and Geoffrey Rush.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23They were the only point scorers in that film.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Let's take a look at the cast of The Queen.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Alex Jennings, Gray O'Brien,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30the brilliant Helen McCrory, Roger Allam also a pointless answer there.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35Again, let's take a look at Carry On Henry.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38A couple of carry-on regulars here. Bill Maynard was a pointless answer,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Kenneth Connor who's in lots and lots of those film.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Patsy Rowlands and Peter Gilmore.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Nicola and Ross,
0:42:49 > 0:42:50but we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52You've been just brilliant contestants.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Thank you so much for playing. Nicola and Ross.- Thank you.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, sadly Nicola and Ross didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:02 > 0:43:04when we will be playing for £8,000.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
