0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the game where we're always aiming for the obscure and ignoring the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - Hello, I'm Laurie. This is Ross.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- And we're friends from Falkirk. - Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Ryan. This is my girlfriend Sarah. And we're from Burnley.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Angela. I'm from Cheshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49And this is my brother Brendon and he's from Hampshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52And finally couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Kit. This is my friend and ex-boss Nicola.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59A bit of a pause on 'friend' there. And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07We'll get to know more about each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12If knowledge really is power, we should all probably be very nice to this man.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Just the loveliest show last time, wasn't it?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Elspeth and Irene, they were terrific.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Podium one and podium two will remember them well.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29They were so lovely. They walked away with a jackpot.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Not the biggest jackpot we've ever given away.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But they were just brilliant throughout. A real treat.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So a lot to live up to on today's show from everyone.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Ross and Laurie on podium one - knocked out in Round One last time.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Fingers crossed we see more of you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Ryan and Sarah on podium two, both doing English degrees,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46got knocked out on the English literature round.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I imagine we'll be discussing that more as the show goes on.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But, yeah, should be a cracker.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Round One should be very good for Nic, I think.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Mm.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You'll find out why, but I suspect it will be good.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Looking forward to it, Richard.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put
0:02:03 > 0:02:05to 100 people before the show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Our contestants here are on the hunt for those all-important pointless answers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Those being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Now, Elspeth and Irene won the jackpot last time,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So all you have to remember is that the pair
0:02:29 > 0:02:32with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So do what you have to to make sure it's not you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Our first category today is...
0:02:39 > 0:02:40..Famous People.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43How are you feeling, Nic? All right so far?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- So far, so good? - Not good.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59OK, and the question concerns...famous Nicks.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Famous Nicks, Richard.- Surely that's got to give you an advantage.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06We're gonna show you seven clues on each pass
0:03:06 > 0:03:08to famous people who had the first name Nick.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You just need to tell us who they are, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It's gonna be 14 Nicks in all to get it home, so very best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So we are looking for the surnames of these famous Nicks.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Here's our first board of Nicks. And we've got:
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14There we are. A board of Nicks.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Ross, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It was Round One last time.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Oh, it was the world leaders. - Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- There was nothing wrong with either of your answers.- Just too high.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- They were all right. They were high.- Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Now, Ross, how do you and Laurie know each other?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29We've been friends for quite a while.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32We attended the same primary school and secondary school.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Laurie was actually in the same year group as my brother.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So we've known each other for quite a while.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We also share a really close group of friends
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and Laurie goes out with one of my best friends, David.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Very good. OK. Whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Laurie's idea.- Mine.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- You went with Ross, not with David? - He didn't want to come on.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- What?- Confused. I know. He's a fool.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- David.- David. - She chose the better man, obviously.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01David, we are having such a good time down here.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Having a right laugh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Anyway, Ross, let's just put that to one side for the moment, Laurie.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Ross, what are you going to go for?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Which of these Nicks?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14There's a couple that I should know,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17but the surnames aren't coming to my head.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So I'm going to go for Nick Faldo.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Nick Faldo.- Yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Nick Faldo. For which answer, sorry? - Oh, sorry. British golfer.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29For the British golfer. Nick Faldo for the British golfer says Ross.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Nick Faldo.
0:05:38 > 0:05:3952.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- APPLAUSE - 52. That's OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:4452.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Sir Nick Faldo, of course, he was not noted for his sociability.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think when Sandy Lyle, the Scottish golfer,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52was once paired with him in a round of golf -
0:05:52 > 0:05:53he was told he was paired with Nick Faldo -
0:05:53 > 0:05:56he said, "Well, I suppose I'd better take my Walkman."
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Maybe he just had a really good tape to listen to.- Mixtape.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yeah, a mixtape.- That someone had made him.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- That Ian Woosnam had made him. - Oh, yeah. That'd be good.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10All right, thanks very much indeed.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Now, Sarah.- Hello. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Welcome back.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Now, see, if I were cruel, I could dwell on the...the round
0:06:18 > 0:06:21you went out on, the novel round and missing adjectives.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- What is your degree?- It's English language.- Oh, it's language.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So you don't have to read anything for that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Well, exactly. We don't read books. - Fine.- So that was irrelevant.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34There we are. So, fine. We can forget about it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- That case is closed.- Thank you. - For now.- Not for Ryan.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Yes, that's true, Ryan. This is true.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Bit of passing the buck there, Sarah.- Yep.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47How are you feeling about Nicks, by the way?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I know one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51One that...well, doubting it now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54But I'll have to go for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Nick Cave as Australian lead singer.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Nick Cave. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick Cave.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- It's right.- Yes.- 52 is our score at the moment.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10You've passed that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1120. Not bad at all.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well played, Sarah. Nick Cave.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, the fabulous Nick Cave.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Actually, 20 points, it's not bad for Nick.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21He's been around long enough, I guess,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24that generation after generation sort of know who he is.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, Angela, welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- And you're here with your brother. - Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Do you watch Pointless together?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36We don't...we live the far ends of the country.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I picked up that from the introduction, yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- We are fiercely competitive. Yes.- OK.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- And so who is the better of the pair?- Oh, me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- He thinks he knows everything, but...- But you actually do.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- You're from Congleton in Cheshire. - That's right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And what fills your days up there, Angela?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I had quite a large business at one time. It's a small business now.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But I'm a schoolbook supplier.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02But a little bit more than that because I actually sort of go in
0:08:02 > 0:08:04and refurbish libraries and...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You know, I mean, you know, I have really good people
0:08:06 > 0:08:11who come back to me and say, "Do this, do that. Money is no object."
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- I like that word.- Good stuff.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now, Angela, there are the Nicks. What are their surnames?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Right, I am going to go for the financial trader
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and that was Nick Leeson.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Nick Leeson says Angela. Nick Leeson. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Well, 52 is our high score. 20 is our low.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You passed 52. You passed...no, you don't quite pass 20.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- 22. - APPLAUSE
0:08:43 > 0:08:47That is interesting. I thought that was going to go a lot further down the tower.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49He was so famous at the time though, wasn't he?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51And also he wrote his memoir 'Rogue Trader'
0:08:51 > 0:08:53and is played by Ewan McGregor in the film.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56That's a benchmark for Brendon to beat now.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58We really will find out who's the cleverest.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- 22. Keep your eye on that. - Very good.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK. Now, we come to you, Nic. Oh, Nic!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Nic, it's your round. Nic, welcome to the show.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Lovely to have you here. What do you do?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'm a science teacher in Ruislip.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Ruislip.- Yes.- Love Ruislip.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And science - love science. We love science.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Oh, yeah, we love science. Lots of science questions in the...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I did used to like my name as well but I don't like it anymore.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- What's your surname, Nic? - Pittaway. I'm not on here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Well, there's another board. - Oh, OK. Possibly.- On that one.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Which of the sciences? Or all of them?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- I teach all of them to GCSE and then A-level biology.- Right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Excellent. Now, then, Nic, that board is all yours.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45The only one really that I vaguely think I might know is the top one,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49which I really hope is Nick Hornby.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Nick Hornby. Well, Angela, the arbiter of such things is nodding.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Let's see. Nick Hornby. How many of our 100 people said Nick Hornby?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's absolutely right.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Well, 52 is our high score. You passed that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:0728.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And we're not the highest scorers.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- 28 for Nick Hornby. - Well played, Nic.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- The British animator.- Nick Park. - Nick Park.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yep, he would have scored you 14 points.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- The BBC political editor. - Nick Robinson.- Nick Robinson.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27He would have scored you 18. And Good Morning with Anne and Nick.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30This, the one for the first podium, Nick Ross.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Uh, Nick Owen.- Oh, it's Nick Owen. - Nick Owen, yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Oh!- That's interesting. Nick Owen would have scored you nine points.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- So the best answer on the board, actually.- Thanks very much.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:43 > 0:10:4520, the best score of that pass, Sarah.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Very, very well done indeed.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That puts you and Ryan in a very comfortable position at this stage.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Then up to 22, where we find Angela and Brendon.
0:10:53 > 0:10:5628, Nic and Kit. 52, Ross and Laurie.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Now, Laurie, fingers crossed.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00We can't say goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- I hope so. - That wouldn't be right at all.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Fingers crossed, there will be a lovely low-scoring Nick
0:11:04 > 0:11:06on that board that you know and no-one else nicks.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08We're gonna come back down the line now.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, let's put seven more famous Nicks on the board
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and here they are - we've got:
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12There we are. Seven Nicks for you to have a go at. Kit.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15A warm welcome to you, Kit. Great to have you here.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- What do you do, Kit? - I'm a teacher as well.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I used to teach science with Nic, which is how I know her.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- But now I teach drama, so... - Wow.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Was it the lure of the drama
0:12:26 > 0:12:28or was it the wanting to get away from the laboratory?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, blowing things up is quite fun, but we have fun in drama
0:12:31 > 0:12:34as well cos you get to sort of direct plays
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and do cheesy musicals and try on hats, which I love.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Was it the drama teacher didn't turn up one day and you covered?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42No, it was more...sort of more than that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44They had a vacancy there and they sort of went,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46"Well, actually, do you want to have a go at that?"
0:12:46 > 0:12:49"Actually, Kit, we think you're better at drama
0:12:49 > 0:12:52"cos, actually, some of the science results are just a bit..."
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- That's what Nic rather thinks, yeah.- Really?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57OK, well, listen, you're on 28.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The high scorers, Laurie and Ross, on 52.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So 23 or less gets you through.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07OK, when this thing came up, I've just had a complete mind blank
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and I actually literally can't think of one answer for any of them.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13But while we've been chatting,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16is Lord Sugar's right-hand man Nick...is it Hewson?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Nick Hewson, says Kit. Nick Hewson. Here's your red line.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Get below that with Nick Hewson and you are through to the next round.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Is that right, Nick Hewson, though?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27How many people said it if it is?
0:13:29 > 0:13:35Oh, Kit, I'm afraid there's your answer. Not a correct answer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37128 is your total, that having scored you the maximum.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yeah, sorry, Kit.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42At least the good news is I think secondary school pupils
0:13:42 > 0:13:44tend to be quite forgiving of that sort of thing.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I'm all right. - Nic, you are all right.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I suspect you won't have any trouble at all when you go back to school.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- No. None.- Hey, kids, give Kit a break. Come on. It's tough.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I know he's got a whole board and didn't know any of them at all
0:13:56 > 0:13:58and he's a teacher, but come on.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02OK, let's just... Don't you think?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- It's stressful, isn't it? It's stressful appearing here.- It is.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07If you've never been on any sort of stage before.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh, no, wait a minute... THEY LAUGH
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Brendon, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- What do you do, Brendon? - I'm a management consultant.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19And I mostly focus on doing what I call
0:14:19 > 0:14:22corporate health checks for companies,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24which is basically like sending your company to the doctor.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Then I'll have a look at it, see what's wrong.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- So you go in, you probe the company.- Exactly.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Have a look at all the different systems, personnel, et cetera.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- And then give it to them straight. - Absolutely.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Do they always say, "Tell us it straight, Brendon"?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- They just say, "Get lost." - Oh, really?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41What interests you otherwise, Brendon?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Lots of sport, films, music from the '60s, '70s,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48mostly rock music, not modern music.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51And some outdoor sports as well.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Tennis sometimes, if the weather is good enough. Cycling.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Now, then, you're on 22, Brendon.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The good news is you're through to the next round whatever happens, even if you score 100 points.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I have every confidence you're going to find a cracking answer on this board.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Because we can't go out, there is one I'm going to take a punt at,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09which I think the American tennis coach.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I may not have the surname right but I think it's Nick Saltari.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Nick Saltari, says Brendon. Let's see if that's right.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19No red line, as I say, cos you're already through,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21but let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick Saltari.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Nope. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Takes your total up to 122, but you're through anyway.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Sorry, Brendon - I tell you what though,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33this round has gone perfectly for Angela, hasn't it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Literally perfectly, cos she looks much better than you
0:15:36 > 0:15:37and you've still gone through.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You couldn't have written it better, could you?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I'll give the correct answer to that one at the end of the pass,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44but well done for having a go at a tough one.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ryan, I've got great news for you as well.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51There is a place for you in Round Two.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Brilliant.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Now, Ryan, so you are studying English literature.- Yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00In your spare time, what are you getting up to
0:16:00 > 0:16:02at Northumbria University?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05What's your favourite night...it doesn't have to be night, obviously,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08but what's your favourite activity?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Well, when I'm at university, I go to Tyneside Cinema quite a lot.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14But now I'm in third year,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17so it's...well, my dad's in the audience, so I have to say this...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, I see. Cos your dad's here. I see.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22"Well, I work very hard. It's all pretty much all hard work."
0:16:22 > 0:16:25OK. Good stuff. Well, listen, as I say, you're already through.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27So no pressure on you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30But nice opportunity to pull a rabbit out of a hat maybe.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well, I know four.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35If I'm taking a punt,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40I'm gonna say presenter of 'DIY SOS', Nick Knowles.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Nick Knowles, says Ryan. No red line, as you're already through.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47But let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick Knowles.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50It is of course right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:5650.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Takes your total up to 70.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- He also hosts Perfection, of course, Nick Knowles.- He certainly does.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05And opened his own antique shop in Berkshire in 2013.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Did he?- He did, yeah.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Now, Laurie.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Laurie, this is where the game is going to be played. Right here.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18The high scorers on the far podium over there, 128 is their score.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22On the near podium here, it's 52. You have to score 75 or less.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23HE SIGHS
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I don't know how to dress it any other way, Laurie,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28but this is make or break.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Monte Carlo or bust. Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I know two left on that board.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I wish I could remember the show jumper.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I know the bottom one is Nick Grimshaw.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39And I think the top one is Nick Frost.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41So I think that's what I'm going to go for.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Going for Nick Frost. OK. Here's your red line.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46If you can get below that red line with Nick Frost,
0:17:46 > 0:17:47you are through to the next round.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick Frost.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55It's right. And you're through. Very well done.
0:17:58 > 0:17:5917.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Very good answer. 69.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06The lowest total of the whole round, in fact, Laurie.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Well played, Laurie. That's more fun than last time, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Very well done. You picked the right one of the ones you knew as well.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Cos you're right about Nick Grimshaw,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15but he would have scored you a few more points.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17He would have scored you 27 points.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Let's clear up the wrong answers we've had.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Lord Sugar's right-hand man is not Nick Hewson.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You're not a million miles away, Kit. It's Nick Hewer.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Nick Hewer also presents Countdown now. 16 points for him.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30And the American tennis coach is Nick Bollettieri.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Would have scored you seven points.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I know a lot of tennis fans would have got that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It's the best answer on the board. So very well played if you did.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Founder member of Duran Duran, Nick Rhodes.- Nick Rhodes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42He would have scored you 19.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And the show jumper, Nick Skelton was the answer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Nick Skelton. 21 points.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49There we are. Well, thanks very much indeed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:18:51 > 0:18:53with a high score of 128.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56It's not ridiculously high, it just is the highest.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57It's Kit and Nic.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And this being your round and all, Nic. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03But anyway, we will see you again next time.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Look forward to that very much indeed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Meantime, thanks very much. Kit and Nic.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09APPLAUSE
0:19:09 > 0:19:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, three pairs remain.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21At the end of this round, we're gonna have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh, Ross and Laurie, well done, you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- It was first round exit last time for you.- Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28This time, you were the low scorers in that round.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Yeah, thanks to Laurie.- Well, still. Well done, the pair of you.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And Ryan and Sarah, only one point ahead there, I think you were.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And then Angela and Brendan - oh, Saltari.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41That nearly did for you. Nearly did for you. But you're fine.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44You've had a stay of execution. You're here.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45You have to make this round work
0:19:45 > 0:19:48and if you can get to the next round, you're allowed to confer.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is
0:19:51 > 0:19:53The Oscars.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:55 > 0:19:58who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:08 > 0:20:13to name as many Best Picture nominees of the 1990s as they could.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Best Picture nominees of the 1990s, Richard.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yes, simply looking for any film
0:20:18 > 0:20:20that was nominated for Best Picture Oscar
0:20:20 > 0:20:23at any of the Oscar ceremonies between 1990 and 1999, please.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Very best of luck.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32OK. Ross.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Not massively confident with films from the 1990s.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41I think I'm gonna go a bit of a blockbuster.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Independence Day.- Independence Day, says Ross.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Let's see if that's right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Independence Day.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Oh, bad luck, Ross.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Sorry. An incorrect answer. Good guess, but I'm afraid incorrect.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yeah, right era, but never nominated, I'm afraid.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Won a visual effects Oscar, I think, but not the best picture.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sarah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Yes. How are we feeling about this?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Best Picture Oscar from 1990s. - Not great.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I'm just gonna name a big film of the '90s, hope for the best.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That sounds like a great idea.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- All right. Titanic.- Titanic.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- It's right.- Yeah!
0:21:33 > 0:21:34That's good.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3631.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Very well done indeed. 31.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Yeah, nominated in 1998 and won in 1998 as well. Titanic.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Brendon.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The Green Mile.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The Green Mile.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Oh, that sounds good. Let's see if it's right though.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said The Green Mile.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Oh, bad luck.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Brendon, I'm afraid another incorrect answer there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11That scores you another 100 points.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15That's a particularly unlucky one though because it has been nominated
0:22:15 > 0:22:18for Best Picture, but that was in the 2000 ceremony, I'm afraid.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So just past our cut-off point. Sorry, Brendon.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So it came out in 1999 and was then nominated in the...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh. That's really tough.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Tough cusp to be caught on there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Oh, that sounds painful.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Only two between the three pairs. Sarah, very well done.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Lovely low score from you - that puts you and Ryan in pole position.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Then Brendon and Angela and Ross and Laurie all tied on 100 there.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So, Angela and Laurie, it's between the pair of you in this next pass.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK, so remember, we're looking for the titles
0:22:57 > 0:23:01of any film nominated for Best Picture in the 1990s.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Angela. - Not a great category for me.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I have got one in my mind. I'm not even sure if it was in the 1990s.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14But I'm going to say Schindler's List.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Schindler's List, says Angela. Schindler's List.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Well, you're jointly tied on 100 with Laurie and Ross.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21No red line for you, as you are the high scorers.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But let's see how many of our 100 people said Schindler's List.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Absolutely right.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Well, 31 is our low score, low correct score, and you passed that.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Four for Schindler's List.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37APPLAUSE
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Very well done indeed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41104. They mean business on that far podium.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Well played, Angela. Nominated in 1994 and won in 1994.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Now, Ryan.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Four is our lowest score so far.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Do you think you can get a nice, low score lower than four?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I don't...I'm not sure, but I know I can get a right one.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59OK, well, that's good enough.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02If it's lower than 72, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I'm going to say Forrest Gump. - Forrest Gump, says Ryan.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Nine.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Nine takes your total up to 40.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Yeah, won in 1995 and Robert Zemeckis won best director.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Tom Hanks won best actor. He turned down an upfront fee for that.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35He took points off the profits. Made over 30 million from the film.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Very clever.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, Laurie, this is exciting. This is very, very exciting.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Worthy of an Oscar-nominated film,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I would say, in fact, this end of round.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47It's very, very exciting indeed. You have to score three or less.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It needs to be a brilliant answer.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I don't have brilliant answers.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56A toss-up between two.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I thought maybe Shakespeare In Love,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00but I don't know if that's after the '90s.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So I think Beauty And The Beast won,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05so I'm just going to go Beauty And The Beast.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK. Beauty And The Beast for Best Picture.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Let's find out if that's right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12There's your red line. You have to get below that red line.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Let's find out. Beauty And The Beast. Is it right?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's right.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It is right, Laurie. Beauty And The Beast.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24If that goes down below that red line...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26And it does! One!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28That is superb.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30APPLAUSE
0:25:30 > 0:25:33101 is your total. You are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36We'll discuss film rights for this round at a later point.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Nominated in 1992. It's a terrific answer. One point.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Shakespeare In Love would have been a very good answer as well.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Three points for Shakespeare In Love.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Four Weddings And A Funeral also got three points.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48English Patient, Good Will Hunting. Both three points.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers though.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53There's quite a few.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Babe would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Born On The Fourth Of July with Tom Cruise
0:25:57 > 0:26:00who was born on the third of July, funnily enough.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Dead Poets Society - pointless answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04The winner at the 1990 ceremony,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Driving Miss Daisy, was a pointless answer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08The Coen Brothers' Fargo.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Field Of Dreams - impossible to watch without crying -
0:26:10 > 0:26:12was a pointless answer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Quiz Show, also a pointless answer.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Sense And Sensibility, Unforgiven. A couple more.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Bugsy, also pointless answer. Scent Of A Woman. Howards End.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23The Crying Game was a pointless answer. The Fugitive.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Godfather, Part III. The Postman. The Prince Of Tides.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27All of those, pointless answers.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Very well done, if you said any of those.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Let's take a look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33The most popular answers...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Forrest Gump, nine.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Dances With Wolves, also nine.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Titanic, way out ahead with 31. But a correct answer.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'd say that, Brendon,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48that's very, very unlucky with The Green Mile, isn't it?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50That's an unlucky way to get knocked out.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Yeah, well, as Richard has just said,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57very, very unlucky to get knocked out there.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I imagine if it had qualified, it was probably going to be pointless.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But anyway, there we are. I'm sorry, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05But Angela and Brendon,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07we know what kind of stuff you're made of next time round.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10We expect fireworks from you. We look forward to that very much.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Angela and Brendon.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:18But for Ryan and Sarah and Laurie and Ross,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Congratulations, Ryan and Sarah, Ross and Laurie.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:27:28 > 0:27:32for our jackpot, which currently still stands at £1,000.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35But this is the round where we decide who goes through to the final
0:27:35 > 0:27:36and plays for that jackpot.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39And we do it by making you go head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41The difference is you can play as teams now.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Well, well done. This is great!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It's our two returning pairs. Oh!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I always say returning pairs do better on their second appearance
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and usually it's a lie.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58But in this case, you've actually proven me right.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00So, there, I'm very grateful for that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Ross and Laurie, it was Round One last time.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Ryan and Sarah, Round Two. So you've both done significantly better.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10APPLAUSE
0:28:14 > 0:28:18OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...primates.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Primates, Richard.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I'm going to show you five pictures of primates now,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25along with the first and last letters of their names.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Can you identify the most obscure of these, please?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- Should be cute at least.- Won't it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five primates and here they are.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35We have:
0:28:57 > 0:28:59There we are. Five primates.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Ryan and Sarah, you've scored the lowest throughout the show so far.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04So you will go first.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06HE WHISPERS
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I think we're gonna go for...B.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Yellow baboon.- Yellow baboon, say Ryan and Sarah. Yellow baboon.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Now, then, Ross and Laurie, over to you.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Do you want to talk through all of them?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24See if you can have a punt.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29We don't think we know A. C would be a gorilla.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We're not sure about D.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34We think we're gonna go with E. Black howler monkey.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37The black... Oh, that stands to reason, doesn't it?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39That's what it's doing.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Black howler monkey. OK.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44So we have yellow baboon versus black howler monkey.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Now, Ryan and Sarah have said yellow baboon for B.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Let's see if that's right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's right.
0:29:56 > 0:29:5954 for yellow baboon.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Ross and Laurie have said black howler monkey for E.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Let's see if that's right.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:30:09 > 0:30:11said black howler monkey.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's right.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18And it wins you the point. Very well done indeed.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Look at that. Down it goes to 24.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Very well done, Ross and Laurie.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26After one question, you are up, one-nil.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Very nicely worked out there. Yep, well played.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Now, A is the best answer on the board.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34And that one is an emperor tamarin.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Would have scored you one point. Terrific answer, if you said that.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40They're called that after Wilhelm II who had that big moustache.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43It's where they got the name emperor from.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45C is a gorilla. What do you think gorilla scored?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I'm guessing that's in the low 90s.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- 97.- High 97.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Gorilla, fantastic sort of glam-rock styling there.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's a good look, isn't it? A bit '70s, but still a good look.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Yeah, but still.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00And...D
0:31:00 > 0:31:02is a Barbary macaque.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- Three points for that.- There we are. Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08So here comes your second question.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Ryan and Sarah, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13So best of luck with that.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17It concerns titles of the royal family.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Titles of the royal family, Richard.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22We're gonna show you five titles now held by present members of the royal family.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24We need you to tell us the first name
0:31:24 > 0:31:26of the people who hold these titles, please.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Let's reveal our five titles and here they come. We have:
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Now, then, Ross and Laurie, you will go first.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48SHE WHISPERS
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- LAURIE:- Um, we only know the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of York.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56But we think they'd both be pretty high.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00We'll just have to go Kate for Duchess of Cambridge.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Kate for the Duchess of Cambridge, say Ross and Laurie.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Now, then, Ryan and Sarah, the rest of the board is yours,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09if you want to talk us through it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- We...- Don't know.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14We don't know many of those.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17We might go the Duchess of Cornwall
0:32:17 > 0:32:19as Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22So you're going to say Camilla.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26So we have Kate or Catherine versus Camilla.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Ross and Laurie have gone for Kate. Let's see if that's right.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36It's... Oh, look at that. 85.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Popular choice.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Meanwhile, Ryan and Sarah have said Camilla for the Duchess of Cornwall.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh, well done!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Camilla does it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:5478.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56You're back in the game, Ryan and Sarah.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58After two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Yeah, there's four very big scorers on this board.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04You weren't tempted to go for the Duke of York?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- No, cos I think I've got the wrong person.- Who would you have said?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I was thinking of the Queen's husband, but it's not.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13It's not the Queen's husband, no. If it is, there's a Jeremy Kyle episode about to come up.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15THEY LAUGH
0:33:15 > 0:33:17It is Prince Andrew.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20So Andrew is the answer there. Would have scored 71 points.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The Earl of Wessex is Edward.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24He would have scored 53.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27And the best answer on the board is the Duke of Gloucester.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Richard.- Richard, yep. Absolutely.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Seven points for that. Well done if you said that.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Thank you very much indeed. It all comes down to a third question.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:33:38 > 0:33:41and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Our third question today concerns percussion instruments.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Percussion instruments, Richard.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Yeah, we're gonna show you five percussion instruments now but in anagram form.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56So let's reveal our five percussion instruments and here they are.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Ryan and Sarah, you will go first.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Do you know any?- No.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19I know 'No Hex Ploy' is xylophone.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25We're gonna go for No Hex Ploy as xylophone.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Xylophone say Ryan and Sarah. Xylophone.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Ross and Laurie, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board? - Not really, no.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I was saying the second from the bottom was bassoon,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37but there's a G in it, so that's clearly not right.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39The only other one that we know
0:34:39 > 0:34:42is the bottom one is tambourine.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44OK, you're going to go for tambourine.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46So we have xylophone versus tambourine.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Ryan and Sarah said xylophone for No Hex Ploy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55It is right.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0043.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:0543 for xylophone. 43.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Now, Ross and Laurie, what do you think tambourine
0:35:07 > 0:35:09is going to score in comparison?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Probably 60, I'd say.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Yeah, I honestly don't know. - OK. Well, let's find out.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Tambourine, is it right? How many people said it?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20It's right.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Oh, look at that. Tambourine wins. 25.
0:35:27 > 0:35:3125 for tambourine, which means Ross and Laurie,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33after three questions, you're through to the final - two-one.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Well played. Let's go through the rest of these answers
0:35:36 > 0:35:37with the biggest score first.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Go Snob is the biggest score. It's 'bongos', of course.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42It would have scored you 59.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Large Tin. - That's the only one I can't get.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Triangle. - Oh, it's triangle. Oh, yeah.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49That would have scored 37.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- And the best answer is the top one. - Is glockenspiel.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Glockenspiel. Yep. That would have scored you six points.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Well done if you got all of those. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I'm afraid it's Ryan and Sarah.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You came into this as the low scorers.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Nothing wrong with any of your answers.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08But there were some big ones there. Yes, yellow baboon.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Might you have got any of those other primates?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- No. No chance. - Yeah, they were tough, weren't they?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Yeah, they were.- They really were.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's been lovely having you on both shows. Thank you for playing.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now when you were so close to the final.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22But Ryan and Sarah, great contestants.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24APPLAUSE
0:36:25 > 0:36:28For Ross and Laurie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Congratulations, Ross and Laurie.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34You've seen off all the competition
0:36:34 > 0:36:37and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:45 > 0:36:48and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51There it is. Well, what a difference today has been.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53You were the low scorers in Round One,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56looked like you might have been leaving at the end of Round Two.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58But then, Laurie, you came riding to the rescue
0:36:58 > 0:37:02with that brilliant answer, Beauty And The Beast. Wonderful.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06As always, you get to choose your category from the four we give you.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Let's see what four we've got for you today.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10They are:
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- I know what I want to go for.- Yeah.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Well, I know nothing about any of the other subjects, so you can...
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- International football teams. - International football teams it is.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29OK, very best of luck. Here are your three questions.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32We're looking for the name of any players in any of the following three teams.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35So any player who made an on-field appearance in the Netherlands team
0:37:35 > 0:37:39that won the 1988 European Championship against the USSR.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42We're looking for any player who made an on-field appearance
0:37:42 > 0:37:46for Argentina in their 1986 World Cup win against West Germany.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Or any player who made an on-field appearance for Brazil
0:37:49 > 0:37:52when they beat Italy in the 1970 World Cup final.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54So anyone who made an on-field appearance
0:37:54 > 0:37:56during any of those three games for those teams.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Very best of luck.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up
0:38:00 > 0:38:03with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:03 > 0:38:05is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Are you ready? - Yep.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13This is all down to you.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I don't know any at all.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18'88, I was 2. '86, I was born.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20'70 is...
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- But can you remember any? - I think a few.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27I know Claudio Caniggia played in the Argentina team,
0:38:27 > 0:38:31but I don't know if it was Italia '90 or if it was the '86 World Cup.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Just go for that anyway.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37In the other one's team, maybe Danny Blind.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I know, again, he was, like, early '90s or...
0:38:40 > 0:38:43So I don't know if he would have still been in the team then.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Maybe.- The Brazil team.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Everybody is going to be way too high of what I think of.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Not that I can think of off the top of my head.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58I'll probably go Danny Blind.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Yeah, the first one you said as well. Yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- 10 seconds left. - What about another Argentina person?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11No, I'd probably be punting for another from the other one's team...
0:39:11 > 0:39:13OK, that's your time up.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I now need your three answers. What are they going to be?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19First one, I'm going to go Claudio Caniggia
0:39:19 > 0:39:22for the 1986 Argentina team.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Claudio Caniggia.- Yep.- OK.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30I'm also gonna go for Ronald Koeman for the '88 Holland team.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Ronald Koeman. - And Danny Blind as well.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- And Danny Blind.- Yeah.- OK.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Of those three, which do you think
0:39:36 > 0:39:39is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it's right, probably Claudio Caniggia.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44OK, Claudio Caniggia we'll put last.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Least likely to be pointless? - Ronald Koeman.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Ronald Koeman we'll put first.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51OK, let's pop those answers up on the board and here they are.
0:39:51 > 0:39:57We have got Ronald Koeman, Danny Blind and Claudio Caniggia.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Very best of luck.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Three answers.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03You sort of felt around a bit to get those. You plucked them...
0:40:03 > 0:40:07You weren't entirely confident about any of them, but who knows?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Let's hope they're all right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Let's hope at least one of them is pointless.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Now, if one of them is pointless and you were to win that jackpot
0:40:13 > 0:40:15of £1,000, what would you do with that?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Ross, you first.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Just...well, I'm in the process of buying a house just now,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23so money would come in quite handy towards that.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28But ideally, I'd put it towards a holiday, to be honest, so...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Laurie?- I probably owe my dad quite a bit of money.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35But I'd probably just buy a handbag or something with it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- But I'm sure he wouldn't mind. - That's honest.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40You're hoping having said that now, he might just wave it through,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42say, "Oh, it's fine, it's fine."
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Well, listen, best of luck. Your first answer was Ronald Koeman.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47This was your least confident answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50In this case, we were looking for members of the Netherlands team
0:40:50 > 0:40:53who won the European Championships in 1988.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Let's find out. Ronald Koeman. Is it right, in the first instance?
0:40:57 > 0:41:01And if it is, did anyone say it? Is it pointless?
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Well, it's right. And that was the first thing it had to be.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Now, if Ronald Koeman takes us all the way down to zero,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11you will leave here with £1,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Taking us down through the teens into single figures.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Down it goes. Still going down. You've done it! All right!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Very well done indeed. - THEY CHEER
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Oh, fantastic. Congratulations.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Brilliant work. Ronald Koeman.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Well done, Ross.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Well, congratulations. Ronald Koeman was a pointless answer,
0:41:33 > 0:41:35which means you go away with our jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Oh, superb.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And you had no idea if it was even right, let alone pointless.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I thought it was right. There was no way I thought it was pointless.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- Well, Richard. - Yes, very, very well done.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48There's only three members of that team scored any points at all
0:41:48 > 0:41:51and that was Gullit, van Basten and Frank Rijkaard as well.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52So Ronald Koeman was a terrific answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55So, Laurie, you saw us through with that brilliant answer
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- in Round Two and now... - Yeah, he's pulled it out now.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Absolutely. I think you've both earned your spurs here.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at some of the Dutch players
0:42:02 > 0:42:04who were pointless.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You could have had Berry van Aerle.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You could have had Erwin Koeman as well, Ronald Koeman's brother.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Jan Wouters also a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Hans van Breukelen was also
0:42:13 > 0:42:16a pointless answer for that team, the goalie.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Let's take a look at a few of the Argentina team.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Hector Enrique. Marcelo Trobbiani.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Nery Pumpido. And Sergio Batista.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Also could have had Burruchaga and Valdano for that.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Claudio Caniggia, terrific answer, but his time was...
0:42:30 > 0:42:32I mean, four years after he was certainly playing,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35but not in that...not in that World Cup, I'm afraid.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Same with Danny Blind. Wasn't around in the '88 final.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Let's take a look at the Brazilians.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43You could have had Brito, you could have had Everaldo,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Felix and Gerson as well. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And terrific work there. I don't know how you did it.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51But you did it and it was terrific stuff. Well played.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Ross and Laurie,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:43:03 > 0:43:06more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
