0:00:14 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm Sharon, and this is my friend Lesley, and we're both from Bath.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Dave.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This is my partner Mandy, and we live in Wantage.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Jane.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm from Berkshire, and this is my friend Zoe, from Fareham.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Sally.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I live near Peterborough, and this is my brother Mike,
0:00:52 > 0:00:53who lives in Bath.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Thanks, all of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We'll get to find out more about each of you as the show goes along,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05If life were a game of Cluedo,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07this man would be in the library with the lead laptop.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- LAUGHTER - It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Hi, everyone.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17They've recently updated Cluedo. I played with the kids the other day.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21It's kind of got reality stars and Premiership footballers and stuff
0:01:21 > 0:01:24in it as well, instead of reverends and what have you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Things have got to change, I suppose. - I guess they have.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29On podium four we've got our brother and sister team, Mike and Sally,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32who were unlucky in the last show. Got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36knew the best answers on both of their head-to-head questions, then lost both of them. Somehow.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I can't remember how you managed that, but you did.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41They will be very tough to beat, I think.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43On podium one, Sharon and Lesley are back as well,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45who managed to join the 200 Club in Round Two.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Got through to Round Two though, so that's good. Not classic 200 Club.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52But it's certainly something you're going to need to work on, I think.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Every question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Find one of those, and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Glyn and Andy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So today's jackpot starts off at a respectable £3,750.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26All I'm going to remind you of at this stage is the fact that the pair
0:02:26 > 0:02:29with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33That's all you have to remember. Our first category today is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Music.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Music. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40who's going to go second.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:56 > 0:03:01..as they could. Artists Of The NME's Greatest Songs Of All Time.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Richard?- In February 2014,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06the NME published a list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09We're looking for the name of any artist who had a song
0:03:09 > 0:03:12in their Top 200, please. Lots of names on this list.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15So anyone in the Top 200 Greatest Songs Of All Time
0:03:15 > 0:03:17according to the NME.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Good round. Thanks very much. Now, Lesley, welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Remind us what you do, Lesley.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm a retired person, but I do internet training for people
0:03:27 > 0:03:29with laptops that their kids have probably left them,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and I help them with it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Which I think is fantastic. How do YOU keep so up-to-date, though?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Well, I'm on the internet all the time, really. I just love it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37I've done Facebook, and...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- So when new things come through, you're an early adopter?- I do,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I look at what goes on.- I think you're going to have to teach ME
0:03:43 > 0:03:44- a few things on the internet. - LESLEY LAUGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Anyway, listen. Lesley, the world is your oyster. 200 songs there.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We're just looking for the artists of the Top 200.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Well, there's obviously loads and loads.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You've just got to think of somebody that maybe...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Obviously the lowest one. I don't know.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- I'm going to go Frank Sinatra. - Frank Sinatra, says Lesley.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Frank Sinatra.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- No!- Oh, no!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12This is something you're going to have to take up with
0:04:12 > 0:04:15the New Music Express.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Oh.- I'm shocked.- Likewise.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Frank Sinatra evidently not on that list.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23100 points is your reward for that, Lesley.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25He doesn't even have a song in the Top 500.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- It's the NME.- Yeah, it's the NME.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I mean, there's lots of older stuff on there,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- but no Frank Sinatra, I'm afraid. - No Frank Sinatra.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now, Dave, welcome to the show. What do you do, Dave?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'm a head of tech support for a software company.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And what do you do with the rest of your time, Dave?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46My passion, besides the partner standing next to me,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50is northern soul. I love my northern soul. Love going out dancing to it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Very good. And how often do you get to do that?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Not as often as I'd like to. Maybe three or four times a year.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59OK. Dave, northern soul - are there any northern soul artists...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I don't think they'll crop up in that list.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- ..on the NME list, do you think? - No.- You never know.- I never know.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06What are you going to go for?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09A little bit of pressure taken off by Lesley there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10I think I'll probably go...
0:05:10 > 0:05:15something from my era of music that were in the NME a lot at the time.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- So I'm thinking, maybe The Clash? - OK, The Clash, says Dave.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said The Clash.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Yep.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Still going down.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- 4. - APPLAUSE
0:05:36 > 0:05:37There we are, Dave.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Four for The Clash. - Well played, Dave.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yeah, they've got three songs in that Top 200,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- London Calling being the top one at number 32.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Zoe, welcome.- Thank you. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- What do you do, Zoe? - I'm an event manager in Hampshire.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52What sort of events do you manage?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's mainly corporate events for business to business, sort of thing.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58We go to different places in the world, which is quite nice.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And this, I gather, is almost the last thing you do in this country.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05It will be, yes. I'm emigrating to Australia in 11 days.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So, yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You might be glad of that, or you might not,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- depending on your result today. - Yeah!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- People might think that was the reason why.- That might be, yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yeah. OK - now, Zoe, what are you going to go for?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I'm going to play it pretty safe and try and go with Queen.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Queen, says Zoe. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Queen.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Now, 4 is our low score...
0:06:33 > 0:06:3428 for Queen.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35APPLAUSE
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, they only just crept in there, actually, number 184
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- with Under Pressure. - Interesting.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Thanks very much indeed. OK - now, Sally, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Now, Sally, remind us what you do.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm a group fitness instructor, so I teach a variety of different
0:06:54 > 0:06:57exercise classes to the community,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and at a gym where I live.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK. Do you follow music?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Do you think you've got a good grounding in this?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Well, music's a big part of what I do, exercise to music. - Of course it is.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But here, I'm struggling to think.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13But I'm going to say Pink Floyd.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Pink Floyd, says Sally.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pink Floyd.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28A bit prog, maybe, for NME. I wonder.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Pink Floyd, not in the Top 200. Scores you 100 points.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I'm more surprised by that, in a way.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Again, didn't have any tracks in the Top 500, let alone the Top 200.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Let's look at those scores.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The best score of that pass, Dave, was yours.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Dave and Mandy on four.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I think you'll make Round Two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49As indeed will you, Zoe and Jane. Lovely low score of 28.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Then up to 100, where we find Sally and Mike, and Lesley and Sharon.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Mike, Sharon, it's going to be between you two.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58So yes, get thinking. We need a low score from both of you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01We're going to come back down the line now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, we're looking for the name of any act who had a song
0:08:08 > 0:08:12in the Top 200 of the NME's All Time Greatest Songs.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Mike, welcome back.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Thank you.- Now, Mike. You, of course, are a DJ.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What's sort of on your set list when you're playing? What kind of songs?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh... All kinds of electronic pop music, obviously,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- anything that gets people dancing, basically.- OK.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33When you were at Glastonbury 2008, what was the last thing you played?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34What was your last track?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Well, I thought I'd try and play something that no-one had
0:08:38 > 0:08:41probably ever played at Glastonbury before.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So I chose to play the Hokey Cokey.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46AUDIENCE TITTERS
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Now, that's clever.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- That's gutsy, isn't it? - Yeah. I thought so.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52And they loved it, I bet?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Both people in the audience loved it, yeah!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57LAUGHTER
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Well, listen, Mike, you're joint highest scorers on 100.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02We have to have a low score from you to keep you in the game.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I can remember reading a review of this,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09which gave it a lot of praise, so I'm going to say Television.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Television, says Mike. Now, that could be a brilliant answer.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15No red line for you as you're joint high scorers,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18but let's see how many of our 100 people said Television.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Oh, Mike, I'm sorry. That's a high score there.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31200 is your total. I'm afraid Television an incorrect answer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- A very considered answer. - Yeah, two good wrong answers there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37When you hear some of the names on this list, you will kick yourself.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40There's so many names here. But yeah, Marquee Moon, the Television album,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42is always on the list of best 100 albums,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46but none of the individual tracks, unfortunately, in that Top 200.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Thanks, Richard. Now then, Jane. - Hi.- Jane, what do you do?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I do the same as Zoe. I'm an event organiser.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Did you meet at an event?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00We actually met on something called a familiarisation trip,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04which took place in Mauritius.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Oh, that sounds like hard work.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- It was tough.- I'm amazed you even had time to bond.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Yeah. It was very, very tough, has to be said.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- How many days were you are out there for?- A week.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Oh, that is awfully tough. - That's a shame. That is difficult.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- And did you get familiar? - That's how we bonded.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- We bonded over our love of Pointless.- Excellent.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Well, delighted to have you here.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You are through to the next round. Even if you score 100 points
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- you won't overtake the high score on podium four.- Good.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Jane, what are you going to go for?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Yeah, I've given this some thought.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Surprised at some of the answers that haven't been there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I think I'm going to play it fairly safe, I hope, and say Radiohead.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Radiohead, says Jane. No red line, as you're already through.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Radiohead.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49It's right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- 5. - APPLAUSE
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Second lowest score of the round. Very well done.
0:11:01 > 0:11:0233 your total there, Jane.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05A pretty rock solid answer. The Earth would spin off its axis
0:11:05 > 0:11:07if Radiohead weren't in NME's Top 200 tracks.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- Creep and Paranoid Android both in the Top 200.- Thanks, Richard.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- Mandy.- Hello.- Welcome to the show. Mandy, what do you do?- I'm a doctor,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- I work in the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.- Yay!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Very popular. Very popular. Which department are you in?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I'm hardcore front door, so I do acute medicine, and I treat adults
0:11:28 > 0:11:32who come in and need hospital admission for medical conditions.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Hardcore front door.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I go to a club called Hardcore Front Door down in Vauxhall. LAUGHTER
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Yeah. OK, listen. There you are.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41You're on 4. You're through to the next round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Let's have a nice low score from you. Dave managed 4.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Do you think you can do 4, or even lower?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50No, he knows much more than I do about music. But...um...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I think I'll go Paul Simon.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Paul Simon, says Mandy. Paul Simon. Let's see if that's right,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00No red line as you're already through.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Ooh! Again,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think NME is the answer to that one.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'm afraid scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 104.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10But you're through.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13He was somewhere in the Top 500, though, at least, Paul Simon,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17with Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard. But not in the Top 200.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Thanks, Richard. Now, Sharon.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24This is where we have a proper contest on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28You have to score 99 or less. Basically you have to be right.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I have to be right. OK.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Tell me about your relationship with music.- With music? I love my music.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- But not sort of up-to-date music. - OK.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Have you ever been a subscriber to the NME?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- I used to read it in my...sort of teens...- OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50..when it first started coming out. But I don't really...
0:12:50 > 0:12:54There's several things going through my head, but I'm just thinking...
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Greatest artist... I'm going to go for ELO.- ELO.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02ELO, says Sharon. Let's see if ELO is right.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05There is your red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11No! Not ELO, I'm afraid.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Wow. Well, a lifeline
0:13:13 > 0:13:15to Mike and Sally.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You're on 200 each.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Again, they did have a track in the Top 500, Mr Blue Sky, about 292,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23but not in the Top 200, I'm afraid.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I think if this was MOJO's 500 Best Songs Of All Time,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28all of these would have been the right answer. But not NME.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31So we have ourselves a little lockdown situation.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Which means it's a tie.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35As it's a tie, the tied pairs
0:13:35 > 0:13:37each have to give me one more answer,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39and the pair with the lowest score gets through
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and the pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Now, Sharon and Lesley, you go first. You can confer.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- SHE WHISPERS:- I think Stevie Wonder, because it's like...
0:13:50 > 0:13:51INAUDIBLE
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- OK.- OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- We're going to go for Stevie Wonder. - Stevie Wonder.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Now, then. Mike and Sally.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- We're going to go for Nirvana. - Nirvana.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Sharon and Lesley first. Let's see, Stevie Wonder. Is that right?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11How many people said it, if it is?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's right! Stevie Wonder is right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22How many people said Stevie Wonder? It's going down, down...
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- 1!- Woo! - APPLAUSE
0:14:24 > 0:14:251!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Your total is 201.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Which means, Mike and Sally,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34only a pointless answer will save you at this point.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Easy, easy...- Nirvana.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Let's find out how many people said that.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Nirvana is right.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Down it goes, still going down...
0:14:50 > 0:14:5114 for Nirvana.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58214, your total.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Stevie Wonder's song Superstition was on that list.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And actually, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
0:15:02 > 0:15:06was the number one song out of all the 500.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11There's lots and lots of pointless answers here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Dizzee Rascal, Fix Up, Look Sharp was on the list,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Son Of A Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Step On by the Happy Mondays.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Video Games by Lana Del Rey, Ace Of Spades by Motorhead,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys. All of these were on the list.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26All of them pointless answers.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29PJ Harvey, Sheela-Na-Gig, Virginia Plain, Roxy Music,
0:15:29 > 0:15:30No Good (Start The Dance), The Prodigy.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Also could have had Bob Marley, he was a pointless answer,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Franz Ferdinand, Glen Campbell, Jeff Buckley, Massive Attack, all of them pointless answers.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Teenage Fanclub, The Charlatans, The Undertones, Vampire Weekend
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and Warren G. All of those pointless answers. Lots of others as well.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Who would you have gone for, just out of interest?- Um...
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Been through a lot, haven't I? - I'd have said Talking Heads.- Ooh.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- 2 points. Once In A Lifetime was in the Top 200.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Well, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home with their high score of 214,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Mike and Sally.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You were caught just on the wrong side
0:16:03 > 0:16:06of the NME there, I think, weren't you?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08But I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you in Round One,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09I'm so sorry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Mike and Sally, it's been great having you on the show.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Thank you. Well done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15APPLAUSE
0:16:15 > 0:16:18But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And so we're down to three pairs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26At the end of this round we have to say goodbye
0:16:26 > 0:16:27to another pair.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Well... I mean, Zoe and Jane, lovely low scoring there,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32not an incorrect answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Mandy and Dave, we had a high score with Paul Simon.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Sharon and Lesley, you actually did join the 400 Club.- Yes!
0:16:39 > 0:16:40But then, Sharon,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44you got the lowest score of the whole round With Stevie Wonder.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Yeah, that's quite rare.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You've scored 400, and have lived to tell the tale.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Yes, exactly. - Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:55 > 0:16:5920th Century History. Can you decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- The Interwar Years. Richard. - We're just going to show you a series of questions
0:17:13 > 0:17:16concerning people and events of the interwar years.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18We just need you to give us the most obscure answer.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So we're looking for the answers to these clues
0:17:23 > 0:17:26relating to events that took place during the interwar years.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Here is our first board of six.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'll read those one last time.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Lesley.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I know a couple of them on there. Um...
0:18:18 > 0:18:25I'm going to go for...Jesse Owens won the 100 metres gold in...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Berlin.- Berlin, 1936 Olympics.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Berlin.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35It is right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:18:42 > 0:18:4340 for Berlin.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Yeah, he won four golds there -
0:18:45 > 0:18:48the 100, the 200, the relay and the long jump.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Thanks, Richard.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Now, Dave.- Yes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I know a couple of the answers on there
0:18:54 > 0:18:57but I think they're both well-known and could well be high-scoring.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01So I think I will go for the British Prime Minister
0:19:01 > 0:19:04who promised "peace in our time" as Neville Chamberlain.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Neville Chamberlain, says Dave.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Neville Chamberlain.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14It's right. Well, 40's our only score on the board at this stage.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16You've passed 40...
0:19:16 > 0:19:17- 28 for Neville Chamberlain. - APPLAUSE
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Yeah, forced to resign, of course, in May 1940,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and replaced by Winston Churchill.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Thanks, Richard. Now, Zoe.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Zoe, you're the last person to have this board.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34If you fancied it, you could do some talking out loud for us.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm afraid the only two answers I knew have already gone.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm going to have to give an answer I know that's properly not correct,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm just going to have to guess at an artist.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I'll go with Pablo Picasso. I know it's probably not right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You're saying Picasso for Guernica in 1937.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Probably not right, you think. Let's find out. Is it right,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53how many people said Pablo Picasso?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It's absolutely right, Zoe.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Well, 40, our high score, 28 our low. You've passed both of those.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Down you go to 17. That's a great answer, Zoe.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06APPLAUSE
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- That was a stroke of luck, wasn't it?- It was!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13If I want any events organising soon, I'll ask you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15That's tremendous stuff.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Now, the man who became the first person to fly nonstop
0:20:17 > 0:20:19across the Atlantic was... Charles Lindbergh,
0:20:19 > 0:20:20would have scored 11.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Do you know the architect?- No.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- It's Gropius, Walter Gropius.- Right. - Would have scored you 3 points,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28terrific answer. And the man who became Chancellor of Germany...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Adolf Hitler.- Adolf Hitler, yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And he would have scored you 42 points.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39let's look at those scores.
0:20:39 > 0:20:4017, Zoe. Very well done there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Pablo Picasso, riding to your rescue. You knew it really.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44That puts you and Jane
0:20:44 > 0:20:46at the top of the table. Well done.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Up to 28, where we find David and Mandy.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Then 40, Lesley and Sharon. A lucky escape last round,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54can you do it again this time, Sharon? Best of luck.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56We'll come back down the line.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04OK, let's put six more clues on the board. And here they are.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Jane. Remember, we're looking for the answers to these clues,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- all of which relate to the interwar years.- Right.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19OK. Um...I know a couple of them,
0:22:19 > 0:22:24it's just trying to decide which I think would be lowest.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I think I'll go for the British monarch.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Edward VIII.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Edward VIII, says Jane, the British monarch who abdicated in 1936.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36There is your red line. Get below that with Edward VIII
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Let's see how many people said Edward VIII.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Pretty good...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yes, you've done it! Look at that, 17.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- APPLAUSE - You match Zoe's low score from the first pass. 34 is your total.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Well done, Jane. - Another good answer, yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00His reign lasted 325 days. He was never actually crowned.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Thanks, Richard. Now, Mandy. Mandy.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05We have a goal for you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:0740 is the high score.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Sharon and Lesley, there they are.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13You're on 28. So 11 or less ensures you a place in the head-to-head.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Well, I know three, but I don't know which order to put them in.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22So I'm going to go for the stock market crash
0:23:22 > 0:23:23and say Wall Street.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Wall Street, says Mandy. There is your red line.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Get below that red line, you're in the head-to-head for sure
0:23:29 > 0:23:32but let's see how far down the column Wall Street takes you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- 46. - APPLAUSE
0:23:41 > 0:23:4446, takes your total up to 74.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Yeah, October 24th, 1929, the stock market
0:23:48 > 0:23:49crashed 11% in one day.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Led to depression that lasted till the early '40s.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57At one point, 25% of Americans were out of work.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- So at least we learned our lesson, eh?- Yeah! - AUDIENCE TITTERS
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Thanks, Richard. Now, Sharon.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Oh, this is exciting.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- You have to score 33 or less, Sharon. There's no ifs, no buts.- OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:1033 or less.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11OK.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I do know one, definitely,
0:24:14 > 0:24:19and I've got a fair idea of another.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23And I'm going to go... I'm going to try...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Cos I think the other one is going to be high.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30So I am going to go for the jazz composer,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and I'm going to say Duke Ellington.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Duke Ellington, says Sharon.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Get below that red line with Duke Ellington, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Let's see if Duke Ellington's right, and how many people said it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's absolutely right, Sharon.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You're in the head-to-head! Look at that. Very well done.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52That's a great answer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- 3! - APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:573 for Duke Ellington. Takes your total up to 43.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well done.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Great answer, Sharon. What was the other one you were thinking of going for?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The Empire State Building.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Would have scored you 35 points, would have seen you
0:25:07 > 0:25:08knocked out by two.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11It's a right answer, but too many points. 35 for that.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- The film awards?- It's got to be the Oscars, hasn't it?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yeah, the Academy Awards. 27 points for that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21"April is the cruellest month", the opening words of...?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- The Waste Land.- The Waste Land, yes. That would have scored 9.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26So the best answer on the board is Duke Ellington.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32So the pair leaving us at the end of our second round,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I'm afraid it's Mandy and Dave. Not a terrible score, 74.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The good news is we get to see you again. Look forward to that.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Thanks very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:25:43 > 0:25:46But for Jane and Zoe and Sharon and Lesley,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Congratulations, Jane and Zoe, Sharon and Lesley,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59you're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03which currently stands at £3,750.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That's turning into quite a nice little jackpot.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The difference is you can now have a conference before you give
0:26:15 > 0:26:18your answers, and the first pair to win two questions
0:26:18 > 0:26:20will be playing for the jackpot.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Oscar-Nominated Animated Films, Richard.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41We're going to show you five stills now from films that have been
0:26:41 > 0:26:43nominated for Oscars, animated films,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46you just need to tell us the most obscure answer, please.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49OK, let's reveal our five stills, and here they come. We've got...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07There we are.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Five stills from animated films,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11all of whom have been nominated
0:27:11 > 0:27:12for an Oscar.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Jane and Zoe, you will go first.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's not Coraline, is it?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19THEY WHISPER
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Um... - JANE LAUGHS
0:27:27 > 0:27:29After much conferring, we are going
0:27:29 > 0:27:33to go for E, Shark Tale.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34OK.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36E, Shark Tale.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Now, then.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Sharon and Lesley, the rest of the board is all yours.- Yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44This could come as a bit of a shock to you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We actually don't know any of them!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I have actually watched D and I have no idea what it's called.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- So we're going to...- I think we're going to have to go for...
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Oh... C...
0:27:58 > 0:28:03It's like a sort of chameleon animal. A Bug's Life?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06A Bug's Life, yeah. We're going to go for C and say it's A Bug's Life.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08OK, you're going to go for A Bug's Life.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10So we have a Shark Tale and A Bug's Life.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Jane and Zoe said Shark Tale, let's see if that is right for E,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19It's right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- 52. - APPLAUSE
0:28:27 > 0:28:2852 for Shark Tale.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Now, Sharon and Lesley have said that C is A Bug's Life.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Let's see that's right,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40No, I'm afraid it's not A Bug's Life.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Which means, Jane and Zoe, very well done,
0:28:42 > 0:28:43after one question you're up 1-0.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45APPLAUSE
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Yes, C actually is an Oscar winner. Did you know that one?- Is it Rango?
0:28:52 > 0:28:53It is Rango, Zoe. Absolutely.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Would have scored 34 points.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Now, A is the Tim Burton film
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Frankenweenie. Would have scored 16 points.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09B is the wonderful Howl's Moving Castle.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Japanese animation.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Would have scored you 8 points.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- And D is the biggest scorer of all, another winner.- Up.- Up, absolutely.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20It was also nominated for Best Picture, that.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Would have scored you 69 points.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Sharon and Lesley, you have to win this one to stay in the game
0:29:28 > 0:29:30so best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:34 > 0:29:35The 'Z' List. Richard.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38We're going to give you five clues to people whose surnames
0:29:38 > 0:29:41begin with Z. Can you name the most obscure?
0:29:41 > 0:29:45OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come. We've got...
0:30:09 > 0:30:12I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38There we are. Five people whose surnames begin with Z.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Sharon and Lesley, you will go first.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44THEY WHISPER
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Go on, then.- Shall we do that?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50We'll do that, yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Well, we know a couple of those.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53But we're trying to figure out
0:30:53 > 0:30:56which would be the lowest score,
0:30:56 > 0:30:57if it's right.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We're going to go for the top one,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01the French novelist, Emile Zola.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Emile Zola, say Sharon and Lesley. Emile Zola.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08OK. Now, Jane and Zoe, the rest of the board is yours.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Right...
0:31:10 > 0:31:13We think the second one is Frank Zappa.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We think the last one is Zinedine Zidane.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21The American director we think is somebody Zimmerman.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24And the street magic...
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I've gone blank. I do know.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28I do know him.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- I think we should go with your one. - Frank Zappa.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32You're going to go for Frank Zappa.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So we have Emile Zola and Frank Zappa.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Now - Sharon and Lesley said Emile Zola,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40let's see if that's right for Germinal,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It's right.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Very well done, 18. - APPLAUSE
0:31:54 > 0:31:5618 for Emile Zola.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59That's what you have to beat with Frank Zappa, Jane and Zoe.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Let's see if Frank Zappa's right,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Frank Zappa is right.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12If this goes down below 18, you will go through to the final.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Ooh, 25.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Very well done. Sharon and Lesley, great answer there.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23That gets you right back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yeah, good head-to-head.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Zinedine Zidane is right, would have scored too many points though.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Would have scored you 42 points. The American director, not Zimmerman.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34It's the same guy who directed all the Back To The Future...
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Robert Zemeckis. - Robert Zemeckis, yep.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Would have scored you 9 points.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Do you know the British magician?- No.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Used to play the circuit, did lots of TV. Paul Zenon.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Oh, not the person I was thinking of.
0:32:46 > 0:32:491 point for that, so well done if you said that. Terrific answer.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your third question -
0:32:52 > 0:32:55whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Test Cricket Captains Of England And Australia. Richard.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Yeah, we're looking for five test cricket captains of where Zoe lives
0:33:10 > 0:33:12and where Zoe's about to live.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14We're going to give you the first letter of their first name
0:33:14 > 0:33:17and surname, and tell you which team they were captain of.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Can you tell us who they are, please? Best of luck, both teams.- Thanks.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24OK, let's reveal our five cricket captains, and here they are.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I'll read those one last time.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Jane and Zoe will go first.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06We think we're going to go with the third one down,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08for Australia 2004,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Ricky Ponting.- Ricky Ponting.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Ricky Ponting, say Jane and Zoe.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Now - Sharon and Lesley, the rest of the board is yours.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Yeah. I think we're going to have to go for the second one down,
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Michael Vaughan,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23for England 2003.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25OK, you're going to say Michael Vaughan.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28So we have Ricky Ponting versus Michael Vaughan.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30OK, Jane and Zoe said Ricky Ponting -
0:34:30 > 0:34:33let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35It's right.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- 20. - APPLAUSE
0:34:46 > 0:34:4720 for Ricky Ponting.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Now, Sharon and Lesley, you've gone for Michael Vaughan -
0:34:50 > 0:34:51let's see if that's right,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57It's right.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Ooh, 39 for Michael Vaughan. - APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Well done.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Very well done.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Jane and Zoe, after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Yeah, Ricky Ponting loses to Michael Vaughan, not for the first time.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Alastair Cook is the top one.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21That would have scored you 25,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24so would have beaten Michael Vaughan, but not Ricky Ponting.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Do you know WH? One of the greats of English cricket.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- Wally Hammond.- Wally Hammond. - Would have scored you 8 points.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33And the bottom one, terrific answer if you got this -
0:35:33 > 0:35:38it's a pointless answer - if you said Herbie Collins. No points at all.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Known as Horseshoe Collins, because he was very lucky winning the toss.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- He was a bookmaker as well. - Thanks very much.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46So the pair leaving at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I'm sorry to say, it's Sharon and Lesley.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Well, it's been a heroic game.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54You've taken us on a bit of a roller coaster ride, shall we say?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56But I'm afraid this is the end of the road, this is where we say goodbye
0:35:56 > 0:35:58but it's been lovely having you.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Thank you for playing. Sharon and Lesley.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:36:02 > 0:36:05But for Jane and Zoe, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Congratulations, Jane and Zoe,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12you've fought off all the competition
0:36:12 > 0:36:15and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,750.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Do you know what, you've come in, low-scored through all the rounds,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39straight through. It's almost like you've got somewhere to go, Zoe.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- LAUGHTER - Yeah. I know!- Well, best of luck.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45As always, you get to choose your category from the four we give you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46So here are those four.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51We've got...
0:36:56 > 0:37:00THEY WHISPER
0:37:00 > 0:37:04If you're confident on that. I'm OK with the Premier League.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Which do you think you'd be better at?- Shall we go with Andrew Lloyd? - I couldn't help on...
0:37:08 > 0:37:11OK, let's go with Andrew Lloyd. We'll go with that one.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals? - Thank you.- OK. Richard?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16OK, very best of luck. We're looking for any named character
0:37:16 > 0:37:20in the productions of any of these three, according to the Really Useful Group website.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22So any named character in Cats,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25any named character in Phantom Of The Opera,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28or any named character in Jesus Christ Superstar.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- So Cats, The Phantom Of The Opera or Jesus Christ Superstar.- Thanks.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yes.- We're ready.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Your time starts now.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47We should stick with Phantom Of The Opera.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I was going to say Caiaphas, Jesus Christ Superstar.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52That's quite a good one. Who do you know in Phantom Of The Opera?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56There's Raoul. But he's quite obvious.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59What about the one that owns the... The French lady, Madame...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Can't remember her name.- I can't.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Cats, you've got Grizelda, you've got Mr Mistoffelees,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08but I think they're going to be quite well-known.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- Jesus Christ Superstar, you've got Pontius Pilate, Herod...- OK.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Um, Mary Magdalene. That's going to be fairly well-known. Judas...
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- What was the first one you said? - Caiaphas.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I think Caiaphas is quite a good answer.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Raoul...?- Well, we can have it, but it won't be pointless.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- I've gone a blank on Phantom Of The Opera.- Madame something,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I can't remember her name.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- There's also the two that own the actual theatre.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Oh...- Do you know them?- Yes, I do.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40but I can't think what they're called.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I can't think what they're called either.- OK. So if we say...Raoul?
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Yeah...- OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- OK, we're going to give you one from each.- Very good.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54We're going to go for Grizelda...
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Grizelda.- ..from Cats.- From Cats.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Raoul...- Raoul. - ..from Phantom Of The Opera,
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- and Caiaphas, Jesus Christ Superstar.- Caiaphas.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? - Caiaphas.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Caiaphas we'll put last.- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably Raoul.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Raoul we'll put first, and Grizelda in the middle.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19We've got...
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Best of luck.- Thank you.- Three good answers up there on the board.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Only one of them has to be pointless
0:39:25 > 0:39:28for you to win that jackpot. Quite a nice jackpot, 3,750 quid.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32What would you do if you won that, Jane?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Well, I think I would have to spend my share on a ticket out
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- to visit Zoe in her new home. - Zoe, how about you?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I know the right answer to my parents watching at home
0:39:42 > 0:39:45would be to help pay for THEIR flight to come and see me as well.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- So I'll go with that.- What would you LIKE to do with the money,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51if you won? No, that's a lovely thing to do
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- and you'll be so pleased to see them.- Yeah - otherwise I don't know,
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- probably just enjoying the lifestyle out there.- Absolutely right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Well, best of luck. Three good answers, as I say.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Raoul you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Let us find out how many people said Raoul.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10If it's nobody, then you win £3,750 straight off. Let's see.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Is Raoul pointless?
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Well, it's correct. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21If Raoul takes us down to zero
0:40:21 > 0:40:23you leave with £3,750.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Down it goes, into single figures.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Still going down. Down still
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- to 4.- It's not bad.- Not half bad. - APPLAUSE
0:40:32 > 0:40:35OK, only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39In this case, we are looking for characters from Cats.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Let's find out. You've gone with Grizelda. It has to be right,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot for £3,750.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Let's see how may people said Grizelda.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Ooh!- Oh, no.- Ooh. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58We will discover why in a moment.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01But that means you've only got one chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Everything is riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07which was Caiaphas from Jesus Christ Superstar.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10It has to be right,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Very, very best of luck.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Let's see, for £3,750, if Caiaphas is pointless.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23It's right.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Well, Raoul was your first answer,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28only four of our 100 people knew that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Grizelda, your second answer, was incorrect.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Caiaphas now taking us down into single figures.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Down it goes, passes 4, down.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- You've done it! Very, very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:41That is fantastic. Brilliant.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Very well done indeed.- Thank you!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Superb.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51I can't really believe that.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Well, congratulations.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Caiaphas, a pointless answer, which means you leave here with £3,750.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58APPLAUSE
0:42:00 > 0:42:03This is great news for all those airlines that fly to Australia.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Brilliant.- Committed to it now.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- Fantastic.- Great performance from start to finish.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10It's not Grizelda, it's Grizabella. Would have scored you 3 points,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12doesn't matter anyway.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17We'll start with Cats.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Bombalurina was a pointless answer. Bustopher Jones.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Growltiger, Old Deuteronomy, also a pointless answer.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Skimbleshanks also a pointless answer on that category.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Let's take a look now at Phantom Of The Opera.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Don Attilio, Madame Firmin - is that the one you were thinking of?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32That's the one I was trying to remember.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35You'd have won twice as much... No, you wouldn't have won twice as much money.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Monsieur Reyer, and Passarino.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And let's look at Jesus Christ Superstar.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Bartholomew, Esther and Ruth.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45All named characters since the 2011 revival, actually.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47And Thaddeus as well.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49So very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks very much indeed.
