0:00:20 > 0:00:22- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:26 > 0:00:29and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, my name's Will and this is my friend, Neil.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm from Coventry and Neil's from Leamington Spa.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm George. This is my father, Chris.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We're from Tring in Hertfordshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Kirsty. This is my boyfriend, Glen. We're from Dundee.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Ian and this is my best friend, June.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56We're from St Albans and South London.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much. We'll get to know more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Brainier than three Oxford Professors
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and taller than three Oxford Professors,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13on each other's shoulders, wearing a long coat.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya! Hi, everybody. Hiya!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We've two returning pairs. Very different shows they had last time.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Glen and Kirsty, who got all the way to the head-to-head.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Yeah.- Played very well. They're going to be tough to beat.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32On podium two, I think they're smart,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- but they had a very bad Round One, didn't they? Chris and George.- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Joined the 200 Club.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Round Two today is a bit nuts.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- But in a good way.- That's good. - Yeah.- A bit nuts, Round Two.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Thanks very much indeed. All our questions on Pointless
0:01:46 > 0:01:48have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51The aim of the game is to find a pointless answer.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Now, Jane and Alan didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05So, today's jackpot starts off at £9,000.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13APPLAUSE
0:02:17 > 0:02:18The pair with the highest score
0:02:18 > 0:02:20at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23so you have to do everything you can to make sure that that's not you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Our first category today is...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Could you all decide who's going to go first
0:02:34 > 0:02:35and who's going to go second?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54You see, that's what Alphabetical Geography is! Richard.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Simply looking for the normal English name of any country in Europe
0:02:57 > 0:03:00that appears between France and Switzerland alphabetically.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, any member state of the Council of Europe -
0:03:02 > 0:03:04that's how we define a European country.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- That's new!- It is new, isn't it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10One that appears in the alphabet between France and Switzerland.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:03:12 > 0:03:14that's a member state of the UN. Best of luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- This is exciting. Neil, welcome to the show.- Hello.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- What do you do, Neil?- We work for a water company in the Midlands.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Excellent. How long for? What bit of the water company do you work for?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Seven-and-a-half years. We work on the network control side of things,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so keeping everyone's water on, if we can.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37When bursts are detected and that sort of thing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41OK, now, Neil, how is your alphabet?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Not too bad, not too bad.- OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44What are you going to go for?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm going to go for Lichtenstein.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Lichtenstein, says Neil. Let's see if that's right.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lichtenstein.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's right.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Ten!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04APPLAUSE
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Ten to Lichtenstein.- Great start. That's an answer that means
0:04:08 > 0:04:11business, isn't it? To start Pointless off with Lichtenstein.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Thanks very much. Now, George, welcome back.- Hi.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It was Round One last time, what was going on?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I take all the blame. I have to say, I froze up, to some extent.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25The second the wrong answer came out of my mouth, I knew the right answer
0:04:25 > 0:04:27and all the details about it
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and everything that I should have remembered immediately.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Mmm. Anyway, it's lovely to have you back. Remind us what you do.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- I'm a musician.- A YouTuber!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Yes.- So, you're a producer? - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And a director. You direct videos and things like that.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Lots of little different things.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's lovely. One of the great joys of it is that I'm self-employed,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49nobody tells me what to do, except me, so I can go out and do
0:04:49 > 0:04:52whatever feels like a good idea on any given day.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- OK. What are you going to go for, George?- Well, I've got
0:04:55 > 0:04:59a couple of answers in mind that I think are reasonably safe.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I have one risky answer in mind.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05But thinking about what happened last time,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I think I might stay reasonably safe.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I'm going to go for Lithuania.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Lithuania, says George. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's absolutely right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, ten is our only score so far.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Where does Lithuania come
0:05:23 > 0:05:25in relation to that?
0:05:25 > 0:05:2614. A little bit above it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I'll take that.- Not bad at all, though, George. Good answer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31APPLAUSE
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well played. Successfully avoiding
0:05:33 > 0:05:35the 400 Club as well, by a mile. Interestingly, Lithuania
0:05:35 > 0:05:38has its own national perfume called The Scent Of Lithuania.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- OK, thank you. Now, Kirsty. - Hi.- Kirsty, welcome back.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Now, head-to-head last time.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Through, you went, looking very strong indeed.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Then you just let it through your fingers.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Yeah.- It was poisonous plants, wasn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Because you're a pharmacist. - I work in a pharmacy, yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You have no business with poison.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No. We try to avoid them in the pharmacy. They're not approved of.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04That does comfort me a bit to hear you say that.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09So, Kirsty, we want any European country
0:06:09 > 0:06:12that appears alphabetically between France and Switzerland.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14There are so many. I think I'm going to go for
0:06:14 > 0:06:17the first one I thought of, which is San Marino.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19San Marino, says Kirsty.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said San Marino.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's right!
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Well, 14 is our high score
0:06:28 > 0:06:30at the moment. Ten, our low.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Is this going to be a new low score?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34It is! Look at that. Three, Kirsty.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36APPLAUSE
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Very well done indeed.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Great answer, San Marino.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41That's a terrific answer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Well played, starting as you left off last time.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47According to FIFA, they are the joint worst team in world football.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Joint with Bhutan and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54They're tiny. It seems a bit unfair for them to have to carry that can.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57But it's better to be the absolute worst than the fifth worst,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59because then no-one really knows who that is.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01That's true. Mind you,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05only three people knew who they were anyway, out of our 100!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Ian, welcome to the show.- Hello. - It's good to have you here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Here from South London.- Yes. - What do you do, Ian?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I'm an actor, or trying to be.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17What things have you been acting in?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20What sort of things do you generally do?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21I started off as an extra
0:07:21 > 0:07:26and now I'm slowly getting little bits here and there,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28but it takes a long time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29I've been in lots of different things.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I'm in the new One Direction music video.- That's exciting!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Just tell us, what was Zayn like?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I didn't get to speak to Zayn,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38but Liam and Harry were absolutely lovely. Really, really nice.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- I bet Zayn is also lovely. - I'm sure they're all lovely.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44They all came across very well. They were very down-to-earth.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46All nice. Good song?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49It is a good song. Very catchy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51What was your part?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I had to literally sing the chorus next to them, in a kebab shop.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I felt sorry for Niall because he jumped across
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and had to take a bite out of a doner, that's rotating.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Ugh!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I wouldn't advise that to viewers, because you may burn yourself.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Good advice. Sage advice from podium number four there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ian, what are you going to go for?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I'm channelling my Eurovision knowledge
0:08:14 > 0:08:16and I'm going to go for Georgia.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Georgia, says Ian.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Let's see if Georgia is right and how many of 100 people said it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25It's right.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Three is our low score at the moment.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3114, our high. You've passed 14.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Four!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Very well done. Second lowest score of the pass.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36APPLAUSE
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Georgia.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Terrific answer, Ian. Good round by everybody there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Thanks there, Rich. We're halfway through the round.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Let's take a look at the scores. Three, the best score,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48is yours, Kirsty. Very well done.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Glen and Kirsty once again looking pretty strong.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Four is where we find Ian and June.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Then up to ten, where we find Neil and Will.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56And then up to 14,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58where we find George and Chris. George and Chris,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01hey, no 100s! Boo, high scorers. So, listen, Chris,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04massive pressure on you. We cannot be saying goodbye to you
0:09:04 > 0:09:07at the end of this first round again. I forbid it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Find a nice low score, please. We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- June, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Remember, we're looking for the name of any European country
0:09:21 > 0:09:24that appears alphabetically between France and Switzerland.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- What do you do, June? - I'm an actress, singer, model...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Everything, really.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33What sort of things do you sing? Let's do the singing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I sing in a band called Evil Barbie And The Ken Dolls.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42And we do a mixture of covers of things like Scissor Sisters,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The Pretenders, Alanis Morissette,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Blondie, stuff like that, as well as a bit of our own stuff.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Evil Barbie?- Yeah. - Are you Evil Barbie?- I am.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Well, June, I'm going to ask you for a country that
0:09:57 > 0:10:00we would find between France and Switzerland, alphabetically.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah. I'm just trying to think of it
0:10:02 > 0:10:05because I'm a bit crazy about the Eurovision Song Contest,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08so I'm trying to think of a really obscure one from there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13But I think I'm going to go with Mace...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Is it Macedonia? Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- You're going to say Macedonia?- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- OK, Macedonia, says June. Let's see...- Probably rubbish.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24..if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26The high scorers are Chris and George, on 14.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You want to score nine or less. There's the red line.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Let's see if Macedonia can get you down there.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's not in there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35It's right!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's right. That's a good answer,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think, June. Macedonia...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43You are through to the next round! Four.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Very well done. Takes your total up to eight.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Good work.- Well done, June. Macedonia, four points.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's a terrific answer. Well played.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Thanks very much. Now, Glen.- Hello. - Glen, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Remind us what you do, Glen. - I'm a croupier in the casino.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Casino dealer. - That's just fantastic.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06What is the biggest win you've ever pushed over to someone?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I cannot say.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- I cannot say.- Oh, go on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Don't like to say? Not allowed to say?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Not allowed to say.- OK. Hold on...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- What about the second biggest win? - Oh, in that case...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I once saw a guy win £70.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- A lot of high rollers coming into Dundee?- Loads of them.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah. OK. There you are, Glen,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28you're on three. The high scorers still
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Chris and George.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32What are you going to go for?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm torn between a few.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I think I'll say...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Slovenia.- Slovenia, says Glen.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43There is your red line. You must get below that red line
0:11:43 > 0:11:45to stay with us. Let's see if you can.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47How many people said Slovenia?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51It's right.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You're through! Ooh, nine!
0:11:59 > 0:12:00You needed ten, you got nine.
0:12:00 > 0:12:0212 is your total.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Very well done, Glen.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Great scoring all round here. Yeah, Slovenia.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09More than half of the country is forest.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thanks very much. Now, Chris...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Hello.- Chris, welcome back.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Now, listen, you're still the high scorers.- Mmm.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- This is worrying.- It is.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20This is worrying on several scores.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Remind us what you do, Chris.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Well, I write about tax for a living.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26What are you going to go for, Chris?
0:12:26 > 0:12:32Countries between France and Switzerland, based in Europe.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Well, again, I'm not blaming George,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38but I'm slightly in a position where I've got to go for something.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41You're not blaming him, but it's not...not his fault.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Anyway, I'm going to go for Belarus.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51OK. Let's find out where between France and Switzerland...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Too much thinking, too much thinking.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- Oh, Chris.- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00George, you've broken your duck!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Chris, on the other hand, no red line for you...- Yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05..as you are the high scorers.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07But let's see how many people said Belarus.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Oh! I'm sorry, Chris.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I'm sorry. An incorrect answer there scores you 100 points
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and takes your total up to 114. I'm really sorry.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah, geographically, perfect.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Alphabetically...
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- But you're in the 200 Club all by yourself, so that's nice.- I am.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Thanks there, Rich. Now, Will, you're through, by the way.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33HE SIGHS
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Did you meet working for the water company?- We did, yes.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39What are your interest, Will?
0:13:39 > 0:13:46Erm, I like to cook. That's my main passion, I suppose, outside of work.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Specifically, barbecue. - You take your barbecuing
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- very seriously? - Yeah, I do actually, yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Would you favour just a normal charcoal barbecue,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56or would you go for a gas-based barbecue?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I have both. It depends on the weather, really.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Oh, good answer.- If it's wet out,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I'll just stick the gas on. - What's your best thing to barbecue?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I do a bit good brisket, pulled pork, ribs.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Oh, he DOES take it seriously.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Brisket, you see?- A bit of pulled pork.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Shin of beef. Wait for him to say that. I'll ask him again,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16see if he says shin of beef. What else? Anything else, Will?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- A good shin of beef.- Oh!- That's good.- That is good.- Very good.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23How many tools do you have? Tongues, and...?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- I actually have a utility belt. - I was going to say, I bet you do!
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- I'll bet you do.- It's got holsters, so I can get at everything.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33OK, no red line for you,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36as you're already through, but let's have an answer.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39You could maybe do some thinking through your answer, if you like.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Um, well, I thought the pressure was on, so this isn't my answer,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but I was going to maybe go for Monaco...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50..as a potentially low answer, if that is right. But...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54in light of our position, I'm going to play it safe
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and just go for Germany.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Germany. OK, Germany. Let's find out
0:15:00 > 0:15:03if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's right. Look at that, 86!
0:15:09 > 0:15:1296 is your total there, Will.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14That's a huge score, isn't it?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It's 14 better than Belarus, but it's a big score.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Monaco would have scored you 15. It would've been a very good answer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23There are no Pointless answers at all. I have to say well done
0:15:23 > 0:15:25to everybody here, because the best answer, er,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29three points for San Marino, Kirsty, is the best answer on the board.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31And the next best answers - Macedonia, June.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34And Georgia, from Ian, both of which scored four.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38You also would have got four points for Moldova and Montenegro.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40So, amazing stuff from everyone here. Three of the lowest
0:15:40 > 0:15:43answers on the board. Let's take a look at the top three.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We've just seen the top one.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm sorry to say, for the second time running,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02it's Chris and George leaving far too early, on 114.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Oh, guys, I'm sorry. Yeah, Belarus.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- That was, er...- Too much thinking. - That was a tough one.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10As you say, too much thinking. Anyway, a real shame
0:16:10 > 0:16:13not to have seen much, much more of you, Chris and George.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15But it's been great having you on the show.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- APPLAUSE - But for the remaining three pairs,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- it's now time for Round Two. - APPLAUSE
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And so, only three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30we'll have to say could goodbye to another pair.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Ian and June, very well done. Our lowest combined score, there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Both of you on four. A total of eight.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Very well done. Kirsty, our lowest individual score.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Very well done on podium two, there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45And, Will and Neil, Germany.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Safe, very well played. Good to have you all three in the second round.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Our category for Round Two today is...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53History.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Can you all decide in your pairs
0:16:55 > 0:16:58who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09..historical figures in haiku.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Historical figures in haiku.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yes, on each board, we're going to ask you for the names of
0:17:17 > 0:17:20six historical figures and all the clues are going to be told in haiku,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22which is a lovely form of Japanese poetry
0:17:22 > 0:17:23consisting of a line of five syllables,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27a line of seven syllables, and a final line of five syllables.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- That's nice, isn't it?- That is nice.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Can you work out what these clues are
0:17:30 > 0:17:33and tell us who the historical figures are, please?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Whilst enjoying the beauty of the poetry.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- Which is where I come in.- Yeah. I'm looking forward to your reading.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47Yeah, so am I. So here are six haikus. Six historical figures.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48We have got...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Neill.- Hello.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Fun. First time we've done this. - Yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You're the first person in the history of Pointless to
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- answer a haiku historical figure question.- Right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Um, I know pretty much all of them.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's just which one is going to be the least, I think.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Um, I'm going to go for...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01poet and playwright married to Anne Hathaway as William Shakespeare.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03William Shakespeare says Neil.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Let's see if that's right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Let's see how many people said William Shakespeare.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11He's right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:1944. 44 for William Shakespeare.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think he would admire the form, wouldn't he?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24He would love...I think he would love this. He'd prefer it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- He'd prefer a pentameter, probably. - I don't know, so much.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I think if Shakespeare were alive today, which he's not,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34he would be watching this, thinking, "That is terrific stuff".
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Oh, I bet he would. - Yeah. He would have loved that.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- He'd like the whole show, I think. - Er, thanks very much. Now, Kirsty.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Kirsty.- Um, it's really hard.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Out of the ones I would know, I'm struggling to pick the best one.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I'm just going to go for the English physicist as Isaac Newton.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Isaac Newton, says Kirsty. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Let's see how many people said Isaac Newton.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's right. How does Newton do against Shakespeare?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Not quite so well. 57.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06APPLAUSE
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You'd have heard Tim discovering gravity and all
0:20:08 > 0:20:11but it might have gone down a little bit further but there we are.
0:20:11 > 0:20:1457 it is. First man ever to be knighted for scientific work,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Sir Isaac Newton.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- See, that's the Enlightenment for you, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- He'd like this show as well. - He would. OK, thank you. Now, June.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Mm-hmm.- Aren't these nice, these haikus, by the way?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I prefer karaoke, if I have to go anything oriental, to be honest!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32LAUGHTER
0:20:33 > 0:20:36What's the most frustrating thing is, my grandmother had
0:20:36 > 0:20:40a painting by the artist who does the horses and I can't think of his
0:20:40 > 0:20:45name and I think he'd be probably quite low and it's driving me crazy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49So, because I can't think of HIS name,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53and I'm going to think the other ones will be pretty up there,
0:20:53 > 0:20:58I'm going to hope that people are quite ignorant of the Egyptian
0:20:58 > 0:21:03queen of the Nile and a lot of young people who did really bad
0:21:03 > 0:21:08at history did this survey and I'll go for Cleopatra.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK, Cleopatra says June.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Let's hope lots of people who did bad at history were in our hundred.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We'll see how many of our 100 people said Cleopatra.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- It's right.- Oh, nearly. Look at that!- Oh, no such luck, June.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Yeah, but loads of people don't know.- They all did good.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I'm afraid 81. 81 for Cleopatra.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34That's a big score, isn't it, for Cleopatra?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Now, the artist - is it George Stubbs?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It would have been a terrific answer as well.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It would have scored you nine points, George Stubbs.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The World War II PM is Winston Churchill.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52He would have scored you 69 and civil rights leader is Martin Luther King.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And he would've scored you 51,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56so Cleopatra, the biggest scorer on that board.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Thanks very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Let's take a look at those scores. 44, the best score of that part.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Well done, Neil. Then up to 57, Kirsty and Glen. Then up to 81.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- The tables are turned, June. - I know.- Oh, well.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Maybe Ian can do something clever on the next pass.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Hopefully, hopefully.- Best of luck.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21OK, let's put six more haikus upon the board. Here they come.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We've got...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17So Ian, we're looking for the names of these historical figures
0:23:17 > 0:23:19as described in haiku form.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yay! Um, I'm going to...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Like, I'm not great with presidents but I have a feeling it's
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Martha Washington, so I'm going to go with Washington.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- George Washington. - OK, George Washington says Ian.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32No red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Washington.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Ooh!- Aw.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. It scores you a 100 points.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46181 is your total.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Sorry about that. I've got a little haiku which is poor Ian and June,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52you have scored too many points. Goodbye to you both.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53LAUGHTER
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Thanks.- Thanks.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Glen, you're in the head-to-head again, by the way.- OK.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- There's your board. You've still got six to answer from.- Um, all right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I wish I was clever enough to answer the haiku, but I'm not,
0:24:10 > 0:24:15so I'll just go with the ruthless leader, I think is Genghis Khan.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Genghis Khan says Glen, Genghis Khan.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20No red line because you're already through.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's see how many people said Genghis Khan.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24It's right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:2935.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- 92, your total. - Yeah, at its peak,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- his empire controlled an area the size of Africa.- Mm-mm-mm! Will.- Hi.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Will, the board's all yours. Look, there are five unanswered.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Do you want to have a punt all of them?- No.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Um... Have a punt at as many of them as you can.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Er, I'll do one because that's as many as I know. Michelangelo.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Michelangelo.- Painted the... - Sistine Chapel ceiling and David.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Let's see if that's right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No red line for you, either, because you're through.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02How many people said Michelangelo?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:1147.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Your total is 91. Very, very close between the first two podiums.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Yeah, safely through but I don't believe
0:25:17 > 0:25:19you don't know any more of those, Will.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20- I'm going to test you on a couple. - Oh, fine.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- A heavyweight boxer who floated like a butterfly?- Muhammad Ali.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Muhammad Ali. So you knew that.- Yeah. - That would've scored you 76.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- A king of England who married six times?- Oh, Henry VIII.- Henry VIII.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You knew that. That would've scored you 55,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and a famous composer who was deaf?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Can't think.- Beethoven, that was.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44That would have scored 32 and married to Martha -
0:25:44 > 0:25:46it was Thomas Jefferson, I'm afraid, Ian. Yeah.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Would've scored three points so it's the best answer up there.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It was a tough one to go for.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Thanks very much indeed, Richard, so at the end of our second round, the
0:25:54 > 0:25:58pair heading home with the highest score of 181 is Ian and June.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Sorry to be sending you away so soon but good news -
0:26:02 > 0:26:03we'll see you again next time.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Thanks very much, Ian and June.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well done, Glen and Kirsty, Will and Neil.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19You're one step closer to the final
0:26:19 > 0:26:23and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £9,000.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27APPLAUSE
0:26:28 > 0:26:31All getting very exciting indeed with that massive jackpot.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34This is where we get to decide who gets to play for it in the final.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36You're going to go head-to-head,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39obviously now we are allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42First player to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45So best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54OK, here comes your first question
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and it concerns Premier League line-ups.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Premier League line-ups, Richard.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Going to show you five images now, showing the starting line-ups of
0:27:03 > 0:27:05five teams in the 2013-2014 Premier League.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Can you identify the teams, please.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12OK, so let's reveal our starting line-ups and here they are.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36We have...
0:27:48 > 0:27:52OK, there we are. Five Premier League line-ups.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Glen and Kirsty, you will go first.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04THEY WHISPER
0:28:05 > 0:28:11Um, the good news is, we don't really knew about football at all.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Um, we're going to have to take a stab at D.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- Chelsea.- Yeah.- D, Chelsea.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21D, Chelsea, say Glen and Kirsty. D, Chelsea.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Will and Neil, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26This is the polar opposite.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29This is the perfect round for us, so we know all of them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31It's just figuring out what's going to be the lowest.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You can talk us through all of them if you like.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38A is Tottenham Hotspur, B is Hull City, C is Swansea,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40D is Chelsea...
0:28:40 > 0:28:41LAUGHTER
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Yeah. E is Norwich City.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I think we're going to go for B and Hull City.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51OK, B, Hull City, say Will and Neil. Hull City.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Glen and Kirsty went with Chelsea. Let's see if that's right for D
0:28:54 > 0:28:56if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's right.
0:29:03 > 0:29:0447.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06APPLAUSE
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Meanwhile, Will and Neil have said Hull City for B.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Let's see if that's right
0:29:12 > 0:29:14and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people
0:29:14 > 0:29:15said Hull City.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19It is right.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22It's got to beat 47
0:29:22 > 0:29:24and does.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Unsurprisingly I suppose. 17 for Hull City.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Very well done, Will and Neil.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32After one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Well done, you got them all right
0:29:34 > 0:29:37and you give the one with the lowest score as well, so very impressive.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Tottenham is A. That would have scored you 25 points.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43The C was Swansea City.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46That would have scored you 21.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52E was Norwich City and that would have scored you 22.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Glen and Kirsty, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Good luck. It concerns...
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Ernest Hemingway, Richard.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I'm going to show you five titles of works by Ernest Hemingway now,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12but we've removed alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15OK, let's reveal our works of Hemingway with bits missing
0:30:15 > 0:30:16and here they are.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19We have...
0:30:39 > 0:30:40I'll read those all again.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59There we are. Will and Neil, you loved that first question.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Do you love the second question?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- No, not so much. - OK, well, you will go first.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- We know two, don't we?- Yes.- Um...
0:31:07 > 0:31:11THEY CONFER
0:31:11 > 0:31:15OK. We're going to go for the top one
0:31:15 > 0:31:17and that is For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20For Whom The Bell Tolls say Will and Neil. For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Now, Glen and Kirsty, talk us through the rest of the board
0:31:23 > 0:31:24if you can.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27OK. For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Then A Farewell To Arms.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33The third one would be To Have And Have Not.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Do you know any others?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I would only have been guessing at To Have And Have Not.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- But I know Farewell To Arms.- OK, shall we go?- I don't know. You pick.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- OK, I think we'll have to. - Yes.- OK. We'll go for
0:31:45 > 0:31:47To Have And Have Not.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48To Have And Have Not.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52So, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and To Have And Have Not.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54So, Will and Neil went for For Whom The Bell Tolls.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01It's right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0626.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07APPLAUSE
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Not bad. Not bad.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Glen and Kirsty have gone for To Have And Have Not.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Again it's right.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It wins you the points. Well done. You're back in the game. 11.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29APPLAUSE
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Very well done, Gen and Kirsty. After two questions it's 1-1.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Well played. Good head-to-head.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37A Farewell To Arms would have been an even better score actually.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It would have scored you five points.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Very well done if you said that at home.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44The one at the bottom there, a famous one from him, Xander.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46The Old Man And The Sea.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48The Old Man And The Sea would have scored you 15. And the other
0:32:48 > 0:32:51one is a pointless answer. You might be able to work it out.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's Across The Something And Into The Something.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54The River And Into The Trees.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Across The River And Into The Trees, pointless answer.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Here comes your third question.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:33:02 > 0:33:04and plays for that massive jackpot.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Electricity, Richard.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I'm going to show you five clues now, facts about electricity,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16you just have to give as the most obscure answer.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Tough question for people that work in water.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Yeah(!) A bad mix!
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Yeah. Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27We've got...
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I'll do all those one more time.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17There we are. Now, Glen and Kirsty, you'll go first.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Um...
0:34:18 > 0:34:20THEY CONFER
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Conduction?- I can't think of it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Shall we just go for the bottom one?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28OK. OK.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30We think we'll go for the bottom one
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and we do believe that is a Van de Graaff generator.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35A Van de Graaff generator.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Van de Graaff generator say Glen and Kirsty.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Will and Neil, do you fancy having a punt at any of the others?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Talk us through as many of them as you like.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46I'm struggling, to be honest.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48We know the top one.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51We'd struggle answer any of the other ones,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54so we're going to have to go for the top one which is AC/DC.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57AC/DC say Will and Neil.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59We have Van de Graaff generator and AC/DC.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Glen and Kirsty, Van de Graaff generator was your answer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07It is right.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1417. Not bad at all.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Meanwhile, Will and Neil, you have gone for AC/DC,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24the top one there. Let's see if that's right
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and if it is let's see how many people said AC/DC.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30It's right.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3378.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35APPLAUSE
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Well, Glen and Kirsty, this time you have done it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Very well done,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- after three questions you're through to the final, 2-1.- Very well played.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46There's only one answer that would have beaten Van de Graaff generator
0:35:46 > 0:35:49and it's the second one down. It's Faraday, Michael Faraday.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52It would have scored you 16 points, the best answer on the board.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Then you've got electrons, the subatomic particles.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59That would have scored you 22 points.
0:35:59 > 0:36:05And the green and yellow striped wire is earth and that's 66 points.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Thanks very much indeed. So the pair leaving us at the end
0:36:07 > 0:36:09of the head-to-head round,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I'm afraid, Will and Neil, it is you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Pretty strong performance, though.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15You've got to be pleased with your Pointless turn today.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19But I'm afraid you came up against Glen and Kirsty who just pipped you
0:36:19 > 0:36:22there with the Hemingway novel and Van de Graaff generator.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25So we will look forward to seeing you again next time,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27but meantime thanks very much for playing. Will and Neil.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30APPLAUSE
0:36:30 > 0:36:33But for Glen and Kirsty it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Congratulations, Glen and Kirsty.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40You've fought off all the competition
0:36:40 > 0:36:43and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:51 > 0:36:53at the end of today's show. The jackpot stands at £9,000.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:59 > 0:37:00You've done it impeccably.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Two appearances in the head-to-head round.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Great answers throughout the show. Really, really good low scoring.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I don't know, it would round it off so well, wouldn't it,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10if you carried home the jackpot?
0:37:10 > 0:37:119,000 quid there. Very best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13As always you get to choose your category.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17There are four options on the board. Let's find out what they are.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20We have got...
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- No.- Well...- We'll have to have a go. I've said it now.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- I think you've sort of...- You said last show. You've just started...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38But I also said the course has only just started
0:37:38 > 0:37:41but I have started a part-time distance learning thing.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Nobody cares that the course has just started. Nobody cares.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- But I only spent like half an hour on it because I had to come here. - LAUGHTER
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Shall we try it?
0:37:48 > 0:37:49If you are doing a course on moons
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- and you don't go for moons that would be quite something.- Shall we?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Let's try it.- Come on.- Moons. - Moons it is.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It does happen sometimes, the right thing comes.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59That's been on the board a lot of times, Moons Of The Solar System,
0:37:59 > 0:38:00and no-one has picked it yet.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03So, very best of luck. Three different questions here.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07We are looking for any moon of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune or
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Uranus that begins with C.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Any moon of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune or Uranus that begins
0:38:13 > 0:38:16with P, or that begin with T.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22So C, P, T, any moon of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24OK, now as always you've got up to one minute
0:38:24 > 0:38:26to come up with three answers.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29All you need to win that jackpot, £9,000,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Are you ready? - BOTH: Yes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Your time starts now.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- C, Cressida.- Cressida.- Cressida. - Callisto, is that a moon?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Callisto is I think a Jupiter one. Puck.- Puck, I'll go for Puck.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- If Cressida is one should we go for Troilus?- Could be. We could try it.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55There was a lot of Shakespearean ones. And Phobos.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Phobos might be a good one. That is more famous. I know Phobos.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01So I don't know if that would be...
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Shall we say Puck? - Puck, Cressida and Troilus.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Should be put Cressida and Troilus in because if somebody got...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I think Cressida and not...
0:39:11 > 0:39:14No, let's say both, because we haven't got any more at the moment.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18If someone got one of them would they not get both? Titan?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Titan, Titus. I could think of all the other letters.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Puck, Cressida, do you want to say Troilus?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- Ten seconds left.- It's going to be better than Titan or Titus.- OK.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35- All right. OK, shall we?- Yes, I'm afraid I haven't got any more.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38That's OK. I think we've done quite well.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I think you've done pretty well as well. That's your time up.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- We are going to go for Puck.- Puck. - Cressida.- Cressida.- And Troilus.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49And Troilus.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- We will go for Puck. - Puck we will put last.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Which is least likely?- Cressida.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Cressida we will put first, and Troilus in the middle.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09We have got Cressida, Troilus and Puck. Very best of luck.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Your first answer was Cressida.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13This is the one you thought was probably least likely to be
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- pointless.- If it's right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19If it's right. We will discover soon enough, but remember only
0:40:19 > 0:40:22one of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Now, £9,000, we've really got a decent jackpot to give away today.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28What would you do with that? Kirsty, you first.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31We've never really had a holiday abroad together,
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- so I think we would like to do New Zealand maybe, or Australia.- Lovely.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Unless Glenn says something different.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Glen, say something different. I dare you.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44I might celebrate with maybe going out for a Chinese meal or something.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46LAUGHTER
0:40:48 > 0:40:50I think you could get an extra couple of courses probably
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- with that, couldn't you?- I like your thinking, I like that.- Yes, OK.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56So there we are. We are looking for moons.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Cressida was your least confident answer.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Let's find out if it's right in the first instance,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06If it's both of those things you will win £9,000.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08How many people said Cressida?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It's right.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13OK, Cressida is correct.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16If this goes all the way down to 0 you leave here immediately
0:41:16 > 0:41:18with £9,000 in your back pockets.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Down it goes into single figures, still going down.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Down goes Cressida, still going down.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25You've done it! Very well done indeed.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26That...
0:41:26 > 0:41:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:30 > 0:41:32That is brilliant. Very, very well done.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Congratulations, Glen and Kirsty. Cressida was a pointless answer.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46That means you leave here with a jackpot of £9,000.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Very well done indeed.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:51 > 0:41:56I'd get the prawn crackers as well, if I were you. Brilliant. Rich?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Isn't that wonderful? Delighted for you. Very well done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03No prizes for guessing what planet Cressida is a moon of.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Uranus of course. LAUGHTER
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Had to be, didn't it? Troilus is not a moon,
0:42:08 > 0:42:12but Puck is a moon, again of Uranus, and was also a pointless answer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Very well done. Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21We'll start with C.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Caliban, Carpo, Chaldene, there's Cressida.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Funnily enough they were the only four pointless answers as well,
0:42:27 > 0:42:28so well done to our 100.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Let's move on to P.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35Pan, Pandora you could have had there, Prometheus, Prospero.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38And let's take a look at T.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Tarvos, Themisto, Telesto and Tarqeq.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Our 100 did rather well on this category funnily enough,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46but congratulations.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49When the jackpot gets very high we always hope it goes to a lovely
0:42:49 > 0:42:51bright couple and you have been that throughout both of your performances.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Absolute pleasure to give you the money. Well played.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Thank you.- Thank you. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
