0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Couple number one. - Hi, my name is Clemency,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37this is my dad Roy and we are from Basingstoke.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Couple number two.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hi, I'm Kathryn and this is my housemate Allie
0:00:40 > 0:00:41and we're from Surbiton.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number three.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, my name is Angus and this is my good friend Tom
0:00:45 > 0:00:46and we're both from London.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And finally, couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Steve, this is make good friend Arwel
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and we are from Southfields, South West London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about each of you as the show goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07He's got the eye of the tiger, the brain of the dolphin
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- and the inside leg of the giraffe. - LAUGHTER
0:01:09 > 0:01:12It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Now, last show we made Pointless history.- We did, we did.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23First time we've ever given away four jackpots in a row.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Four shows in a row we've given away the money.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Never, ever happened before.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We're getting like a bank, aren't we?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- A little bit, yeah. - We're just doling it out.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We could make even more Pointless history today
0:01:32 > 0:01:35if we give away five in a row. Be quite something, wouldn't it?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Arwel and Steve did terrifically last time.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Got knocked out in that head-to-head two-one,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42so there are going to be very, very tough to beat, I think.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And Round One, looking at some of the podiums,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48there will be people who are tempted to say, "This was before my time,"
0:01:48 > 0:01:52but they will be very, very severely penalised if anybody does.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54OK. Thanks very much indeed. Every question on Pointless
0:01:54 > 0:01:56has been to put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Today's contestants, indeed like all contestants,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00are looking for a pointless answer,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Do that and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08As you'll have gathered, Rich and Abbey won the jackpot last time,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will,
0:02:22 > 0:02:23of course, be eliminated,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27so it is your duty to make sure it is not your pair.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35History. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37who's going to go second.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:46 > 0:02:47HE CHUCKLES
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Richard.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're going to show you seven clues on each pass,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57events or people connected with the 17th century.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It will be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05OK, so we're looking for the important events or people
0:03:05 > 0:03:07described by these clues, and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'll read through those one more time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Clemency, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Thank you.- Good to have you here. What do you do?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I'm a student.- What are you studying?- I study zoology.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- That's fun. Isn't it? - Yeah, I really like it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Which bit of zoology are you specialising in?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Or have you not specialised yet? - Not yet.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Hopefully marine biology I want to go on and do.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Oh, that's fun. Have you had experience with marine biology?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yeah, I spent some time doing research for some people in Belize
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- a couple of years ago, which was great.- Oh, that's fun! In Belize.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- And what were you working with there?- Sharks, mostly.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Got to tag them and everything. - We work with sharks, don't we?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Yeah, we tag them, don't we?- Yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Now, then, Clemency. How are we feeling about
0:04:47 > 0:04:4917th-century history?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I know a couple, but I don't want to
0:04:51 > 0:04:52try and risk anything
0:04:52 > 0:04:54so I think I'm going to go for the
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Massachusetts town and say Salem.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Salem, says Clemency.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Salem, if it's right.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04It is, of course, right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:0944.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10APPLAUSE
0:05:11 > 0:05:1344 for Salem.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Even the Governor of Massachusetts, even his wife was implicated
0:05:16 > 0:05:19in witchcraft as well, so lots of people locked up.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21The Salem witch trials.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25It was a witch-hunt, essentially, the whole thing, from start to finish.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- A complete witch-hunt. - It really was.- Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- OK, thanks very much indeed. Now, Kathryn, welcome.- Hello.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Great to have you here.- Thank you. - What do you do, Kathryn?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- I am also a student.- What do you study, Kathryn?- I study law.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Are you enjoying law?- I am,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- even though there is quite a lot of reading.- A lot of reading.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- A lot of reading. - How far are you into law?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- I'm in my second year.- Right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47So how much longer before you'll be practising in one form or another?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'm not 100% sure that's what I want to do yet,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52but I've got one more year of my university course left.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Very good. Good stuff.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now, Kathryn, history.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Rubbish.- OK.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm going to go for the Guy Fawkes
0:06:03 > 0:06:04and Robert Catesby
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and the Houses of Parliament.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The Houses of Parliament, says Kathryn.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's see, if that's right, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15It's right!
0:06:17 > 0:06:1860.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:2360 for the Houses of Parliament.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Well played, Kathryn.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- That's quite a low score for that, isn't it?- It is a bit.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Asking people what Guy Fawkes was planning to blow up.- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Meh.- There it is.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33And there we are. There we are.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Angus.- Hello.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37A warm welcome to you to Pointless. And what do you do, Angus?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'm an account executive at a marketing agency.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Is that fun? What do you market?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I enjoy marketing. It's a marketing agency so we market,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48you know, for our clients
0:06:48 > 0:06:51so it depends on which client I'm working for at the time.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52And as a marketeer,
0:06:52 > 0:06:57you have to be able to adapt yourself to any product or service.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So it's fun, yeah. It's different. A lot of diversity.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Good stuff. Now, history. It's sort of history, it's not really.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04There's all sorts of other things in there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05What are you going to go for?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07History is a good subject for me but
0:07:07 > 0:07:10the 17th-century isn't a great one,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12so it's going to be a bit of a punt.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14In 1610, Galileo observed four moons
0:07:14 > 0:07:17revolving around Jupiter.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Jupiter, says Angus. Let's see if that's right
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jupiter.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:2860 our highest score, 44 our low.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30You've passed 60, you've passed 44.
0:07:30 > 0:07:3121.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33APPLAUSE
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Well played, Angus.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Very well played. It's interesting you like history
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but the 17th century isn't your period.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I was hoping it might be the first example
0:07:43 > 0:07:44of this being AFTER someone's time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- That would be nice, wouldn't it? - That would be nice.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Arwel.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Arwel, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now, head-to-head last time. Head-to-head.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00It was looking pretty good, then we had a science round. What happened?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06We slipped up a little because we slipped up on the last round
0:08:06 > 0:08:10because it was to do with geology and I knew the answer,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12but the others went first.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Dear, oh, dear! I'm sorry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15But, Arwel, you've got to be confident about today.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19No, history was never my best subject.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I think James VI of Scotland
0:08:22 > 0:08:24is the first answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The poem by Milton is Paradise Lost.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27The fourth one is more of a risk.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I think it's the Battle of the Boyne.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32And the Treaty of Westphalia
0:08:32 > 0:08:34was the Hundred Years War, I think.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I think I'll have to go for the
0:08:36 > 0:08:38John Milton poem and Paradise Lost.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40OK, Paradise Lost, says Arwel.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's see, if that's right, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47It's absolutely right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:5221 is our low score so far. You've passed that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Down it goes to 12! Very well done indeed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Best score of the round, Arwel.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56APPLAUSE
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I've got the sense that Arwel thought that board
0:09:02 > 0:09:03was a bit of a struggle.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05And proceeded to then just to fill it all in.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06LAUGHTER
0:09:06 > 0:09:09He did pretty well. He did pretty well, I'll give him that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'll show you exactly how you did.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You were right about James Stewart,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15it was Scotland.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And you were right not to go for it because it was a bigger score of 47.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19You were right as well
0:09:19 > 0:09:21about the battle. It was the Battle of the Boyne.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24That would have been a better answer, would have scored you 7 points.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Perhaps not worth the risk
0:09:25 > 0:09:27because you weren't certain.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28But you were wrong about the war.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It wasn't the Hundred Years War,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31it was the Thirty Years War
0:09:31 > 0:09:33and would have scored 3 points.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34It's the best answer up there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Thanks very much, Richard. We are halfway through the round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Let's take a look at the scores. 12 the best score of that pass.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Arwel, very well done indeed. And up to 21, where we find Angus and Tom.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Up to 44, Clemency and Roy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And then 60, Kathryn and Allie.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51You're not wildly out in front but, Allie, a nice low score
0:09:51 > 0:09:53will help tremendously in the next pass.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03OK. Let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Let me read those one last time.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Steve.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Now, you work in the music industry. - That's correct.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- And have done for 30 years, I think you said.- Right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13So what exactly do you do? Talk us through the mechanics of your job.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, I'm a consultant these days
0:11:15 > 0:11:19and I'm currently working with some new artists,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22trying to plan their launches
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and work on a plan to deliver success for them.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So you're not actually based at the studio end of things,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30more the company end of things.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32How many different acts have you got on the go?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Or have you got countless?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Two or three at the moment. Three.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Any big ones we should look out for?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Not yet.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42If you want us to launch them on Pointless, any of these acts,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- we would be interested. - We'll talk afterward.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Anyway, listen. Steve, there you are, you're on 12.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The high-scorers on 60 are Allie and Kathryn.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53A score of 47 or less gets you into the next round.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54There's your board.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You can have pick of it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00OK. I think I am going to go for
0:12:00 > 0:12:03the Great Fire of London.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I think it started in Pudding Lane.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Pudding Lane, says Steve. Here comes your red line.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12If Pudding Lane gets you below that red line, you are in Round Two.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Let's see how many people said Pudding Lane.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18He's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:2254.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE
0:12:23 > 0:12:2466 is your total.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Destroyed 13,000 houses, the Great Fire of London.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Do you know if you take every Roman numeral and put them in order
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- from the biggest to the smallest, it adds up to 1666?- Wow.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Now, Tom, what do you do? - I work in crisis insurance.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43That's...that's...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's not the name of a company, is it? No.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- I think not.- Well, it wouldn't be a bad name, of course.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51That's a pressurised job, isn't it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56It mainly focuses on things like terrorism and kidnap and ransom.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Right.- Things like that.- I see.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Are you in the negotiating side of that?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yes, of sorts.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I can't tell you about any of the kidnap or ransom ones.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05It's classified, unfortunately.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- OK.- Tell us about one of them.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09LAUGHTER
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Unfortunately, I can't.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- That is quite exciting. I think. Isn't it?- It is.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's quite interesting sometimes, I have to say.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yes, I should think it is.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22OK, now, Tom, you have to score 44 or less to remain with us
0:13:22 > 0:13:25at the end of this round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27History is definitely not really
0:13:27 > 0:13:30my area of expertise.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32That Angus's, so I'm hoping that
0:13:32 > 0:13:35his score will get us through.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36This is a bit of a guess.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38On the 16th September,
0:13:38 > 0:13:39the group of Puritans left
0:13:39 > 0:13:40from Plymouth on the Mayflower.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The Mayflower, says Tom. There is your red line.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45If you get below that with Mayflower,
0:13:45 > 0:13:46you're through to Round Two.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mayflower.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And it gets you through. 36.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59APPLAUSE
0:13:59 > 0:14:0157 is your total.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well played. They planned to land in Virginia
0:14:05 > 0:14:06but landed in Cape Cod instead.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09There's no representation, no picture at all of the Mayflower.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10We don't know what it looks like.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- No drawings, nothing of it anywhere. - Interesting.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Now, then, Allie.- Hi.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Allie, hi! Nice to have you here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- What do you do, Allie? - I'm a student as well.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- What do you study? - I study media and TV.- OK.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Now, when you're not studying that, what do you get up to?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I like reading, read all the Harry Potter books.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Love film, watching films and TV programmes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Not very active, to be honest.- OK.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now, Allie, you're on 60.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41You're the second highest scorers at this point.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You need to score 5 or less to avoid becoming the highest scorers.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm going to have to go for
0:14:46 > 0:14:49the American University,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51which could be Harvard.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Harvard, says Allie, the American University.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57There is your red line. It's quite low.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02It's right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It's all travelling in the right direction. Still going...
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Ooh, bad luck. 20.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10APPLAUSE
0:15:10 > 0:15:1320 takes your total up to 80, Allie.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It's not yet the end of the world.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Roy may have a massive score, you never know.- Hope so.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Well played, Allie. It's a good answer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22LAUGHTER
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Poor old Roy. Good answer, though, from Allie.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26There were eight Harvard alumni
0:15:26 > 0:15:28signed the Declaration of Independence.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29That's how old Harvard is.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33There you are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Now, Roy. What do you do, Roy?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37I work in HR.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Excellent. Whereabouts?- In Sweden.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Seriously, Sweden? I thought that was... Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Good. That's a commute, isn't it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Yeah, I spend two weeks a month in Sweden and two weeks here.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Of all places to spend two weeks a month,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Sweden is rather a nice place. - In the summer, yes, it's great.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Bit chilly in the winter. What are your interests, Roy?
0:15:55 > 0:16:01Sport. I still try and play a bit of football and cricket and golf and...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Interest in most sports.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Excellent. OK, there you are on 44.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The high-scorers just behind you, Allie and Kathryn on 80.
0:16:10 > 0:16:1335 or less gets you through. Talk us through the board, if you can.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I think the cathedral is St Paul's.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'm not sure about the group.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The Chartists is in my mind,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23but I'm not too sure.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And I think the facial hair
0:16:25 > 0:16:28is the beard. Um...
0:16:28 > 0:16:29I'm going to go for the beard
0:16:29 > 0:16:32for the facial feature.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- You're going to go for the beard. Is that a bit of a hunch?- Yes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39So, this could be a lifeline for Allie and Kathryn. It could be.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40ALEXANDER EXHALES
0:16:40 > 0:16:43All hanging by a whisker. Now, there is your red line.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46If you get below that, you, Roy, as through to the next round.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Let's see if beard is right
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53It's right!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Very well done. You're through, just! 28.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00APPLAUSE
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Takes your total up to 72.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Well done, Roy.- Yeah, very well played, Roy. Good risk to take.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Now, let's fill the rest of this board in.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You were absolutely right to avoid St Paul's
0:17:11 > 0:17:13cos it would have scored you too many points.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It was the right answer
0:17:15 > 0:17:17but would have scored 45.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Dance To The Music Of...
0:17:18 > 0:17:19- Time.- Time, yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Would have scored 4 points.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22And it is not the Chartists.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I imagine other people would have said the Chartists.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- It's the Levellers.- The Levellers.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28And that would have scored 2 points,
0:17:28 > 0:17:29so that's the best answer up there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Thanks very much indeed. At the end of our first round,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34the pair heading home with our highest score of 80...
0:17:34 > 0:17:37It's not that high a score, it's just higher than everyone else's.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38..is Allie and Kathryn.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm afraid you've come all this way and we have to send you back,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44but you will be back for the next show.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46We'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Thanks very much for playing. Allie and Kathryn.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53For the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59And we're down to three pairs.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Obviously at the end of this round, we have to cut it down to two pairs
0:18:02 > 0:18:04for our head-to-head round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Arwel, the best individual scorer in that round -
0:18:07 > 0:18:08very well done - with Paradise Lost.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Tom and Angus, very well done. Best combined score in that round.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And Roy and Clemency, very well done. Father-daughter.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's just so nice having father-daughters on the show.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I was going to say, I almost complimented Clemency on her name
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and then I realised, of course, we should be complimenting Roy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Well, we should. Exactly. He's here. - He's the one that came up with it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Roy, you look like you didn't come up with it.- No, I didn't.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's my wife. I got to choose the boys' names
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and my wife got to choose the girls' names and we had three girls, so...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38LAUGHTER
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- She's no fool, your wife, is she?- No.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK. Now, our category for Round Two is...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Popular Authors. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:48 > 0:18:50who's going first, who's going second.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:04 > 0:19:05..as they could.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Authors of the most borrowed books 2012/13. Richard.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Yeah. There was a list published in February 2014
0:19:12 > 0:19:15which was the 100 most borrowed books from British libraries
0:19:15 > 0:19:18from the middle of 2012 to the middle of 2013.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We're looking for the author, illustrator or translator
0:19:20 > 0:19:22of any of those books, please.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24They're all fiction books, no non-fiction books on the list.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So the author, illustrator or translator of any of
0:19:27 > 0:19:30the 100 most borrowed books from British libraries. Very best of luck.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Now, this is fun, isn't it, Clemency?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35SHE LAUGHS
0:19:35 > 0:19:37This is the other round that I was kind of dreading.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41But I think I'm kind of going for the move
0:19:41 > 0:19:44that the Hobbit was quite big,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47so I think I'm going to go for JRR Tolkien.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK, you're going to say Tolkien. JRR Tolkien.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53how many of our 100 people said Tolkien?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Clemency.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Good reasoning, can't fault you on that. But sadly not in that list.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- So, yes, that's scored you 100 points.- Yeah, not a bad guess.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You wouldn't be surprised to find it on there, would you?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But not in the top 100.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Tom.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm going to say...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20..Malorie Blackman.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Malorie Blackman, says Tom. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let's see how many people said Malorie Blackman.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Oh! That's another great guess, actually.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Good answer but I'm afraid, for reasons I don't understand,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36not on that list, Malorie Blackman.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- We like Malorie Blackman. - We do, yes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40She was an answer the other day, actually,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42in teachers' favourite 100 books.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45But not one of the 100 most borrowed books from British libraries,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- I'm afraid.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Arwel.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Uh...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Catherine Cookson.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Catherine Cookson. I like the way you're thinking there, Arwel.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Let's see if that's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Catherine Cookson.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04No!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Wow.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12An incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- This is going well, isn't it?- Yep.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16LAUGHTER
0:21:16 > 0:21:18She always used to top those lists, didn't she?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20ten years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Catherine Cookson was always top of the list.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25But no longer has any single book in the top 100, I'm afraid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Wow.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I always panic at this stage.- What, because everyone is on 100?- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You don't know how to sum it up.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Do you want me to do the summing up bit for you?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- What? The scores?- Yeah.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Yeah, go on, do it.- OK, we've reached the end of the first pass.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Good work from Roy and Clemency there on a very solid 100 points.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Tom and Angus also doing very, very nicely on 100.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And our final column there, Arwel and Steve, 100 for you as well.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I suggest probably between podiums one, two and three
0:21:56 > 0:21:59to see who is going to get through to the head-to-head.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Oh, God, you...
0:22:01 > 0:22:02You make it sound so easy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04RICHARD LAUGHS Thanks.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Best of luck. I always like to finish with a "best of luck."
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Just lob that in.- Best of luck.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Would the next players please take your place at the podium.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- That was fun.- That was quite worryingly good.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17RICHARD LAUGHS
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Well, you know what, it's not difficult.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21LAUGHTER
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- It is difficult. It is difficult. - Um...
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Yeah, it's really not.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Now, we're looking for any author, illustrator or translator
0:22:29 > 0:22:31who has at least one title
0:22:31 > 0:22:34in the 2013 list of 100 most borrowed books.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- Now, Steve.- Yes.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37For the sake of all that is holy,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39please come up with a correct answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Well, I've thought of a couple and I'm doubting myself.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- But I will go for Dan Brown. - Dan Brown.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Surely. Surely Dan Brown.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52No red line for you as you're joint high-scorers.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Let's see how many our 100 people said Dan Brown.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59No!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer, Steve.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05No Dan Brown on the list. Richard.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I can honestly say, I'm looking at all of the answers here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It's a very normal list and just somehow, like a minefield,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15we're stepping between all of the correct answers.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's very bizarre but I promise you, there's people you know on this list.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Like authors and that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- I've got one. I have got one. - Have you got one?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Oh, good.- Yeah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Now, Angus.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think I'm going to go for a safe option,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30even though I think it's going to be a high score,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- and say JK Rowling.- JK Rowling.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36JK Rowling. Let's find out. JK Rowling, is that right?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38How many people said it? There's your red line.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39We've got a red line! That's exciting.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40You want to score 99 or less.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Hey! Look at that! - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Very well done, Angus.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50That is an achievement. 59.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52APPLAUSE
0:23:53 > 0:23:56159 is your total.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Yeah, she is on the list not for the Harry Potter books
0:23:58 > 0:24:01but for The Casual Vacancy, which was number ten on the list.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Tenth most borrowed book from British libraries.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Roy.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Playing it really safe and going on the basis of people doing exams
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and things like that,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14so I'm going to say William Shakespeare.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16William Shakespeare, says Roy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Now, you've got a red line. Look at this.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20You have to get below that with William Shakespeare.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Is it right, William Shakespeare? If it is, how many people said it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28No! I'm afraid that is incorrect.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Which means you also score 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Which means it's a tie.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The tied pairs each have to give me one more answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40There are now allowed to confer before they give their answer.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And the one with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Roy and Clemency, you will go first.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Yeah? OK.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53I'm hoping that this author is still really popular in libraries,
0:24:53 > 0:24:54so I'm going to say Jilly Cooper.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Jilly Cooper, say Roy and Clemency.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Steve and Arwel.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- We're going to go for John Grisham. - John Grisham.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05We have Jilly Cooper and we have John Grisham.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Roy and Clemency said Jilly Cooper. Let's see if that's right.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10If it is, let's see how many people said Jilly Cooper.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Nope!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Takes your total up to 300.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22Steve and Arwel, your goal now is 299.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So, yes, let's find out if John Grisham is right
0:25:24 > 0:25:28and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said John Grisham.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29There is your red line.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33It's right!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Well done, Steve and Arwel. Down it goes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Still going down. Seven!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- APPLAUSE - 207.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Ah. John Grisham.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50As I say, there are a lot of big names on the list.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53There's James Patterson, Ian Rankin, Jeffrey Archer, Lee Child,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Danielle Steel, Martina Cole, Sophie Kinsella, Harlan Coben.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59EL James is on the list, the Fifty Shades Of Grey author.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Patricia Cornwell.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So, as I say, we managed to somehow sidestep most of them.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Hilary Mantel also on the list.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07But let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Jeff Kinney, who writes all the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Jill Mansell. Jojo Moyes was a pointless answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well done if you said her.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Karin Slaughter. Kathryn Stockett who wrote The Help,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17that was on the list.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20The children's author Lauren Child who writes Charlie And Lola
0:26:20 > 0:26:22and all sorts of other great books.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23You also could have had...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27..Maurice Sendak, who wrote Where The Wild Things Are.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Nicci French for Blue Monday.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And SJ Watson, who wrote Before I Go To Sleep.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33That was a pointless answer. And the top three...
0:26:40 > 0:26:41LAUGHTER
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- That's some name recognition right there, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48So at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:48 > 0:26:52with our highest score of 300, it's Roy and Clemency.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Oh, I'm sorry.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- That was tough, wasn't it?- Yeah. - Not our round.- Tough round.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Nothing wrong with your guesses, though. They were all
0:26:58 > 0:27:01perfectly reasonable books you might expect to see in a library.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Anyway, there we are. We say goodbye now
0:27:03 > 0:27:05but the good news is, we see you again next time.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- We'll look forward to that very much indeed. Roy and Clemency.- Thank you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But for Arwel and Steve and Tom and Angus,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15it is now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Congratulations, Tom and Angus, Arwel and Steve.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:23 > 0:27:25and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Now, this is the point where we decide who gets to play for that
0:27:30 > 0:27:33money and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The difference is you're now allowed to chat
0:27:35 > 0:27:37before you give your answers.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Very best of luck to both teams. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Winners at the 2013 British Comedy Awards. Richard?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Going to show five pictures now
0:28:00 > 0:28:02of people who won British Comedy Awards in 2013.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Can you name the most obscure. Good luck.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five winners.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08And here they are...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32There we go. Five winners at the 2013 British Comedy Awards.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Tom and Angus, you've scored the best throughout the show
0:28:34 > 0:28:36so far so you will go first.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41THEY WHISPER
0:28:43 > 0:28:46So we're going to go for D, Will Ferrell.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49D, Will Ferrell, say Tom and Angus. D, Will Ferrell.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Now, Arwel and Steve. Do you want to talk us through the board,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54fill in as many of them you can?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Well, A is Miranda Hart,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59B is Alan Carr,
0:28:59 > 0:29:01C is Jack Whitehall
0:29:01 > 0:29:06and E, which I think is the one we're going for, is Adam Hill.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Adam Hill, say Arwel and Steve. Adam Hill.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10We have Will Ferrell and Adam Hill.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Tom and Angus say Will Ferrell. Let's see if that is right
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and if it is, let's see how many people said D was Will Ferrell.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20It's right.
0:29:25 > 0:29:2629.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Now, meanwhile, Arwel and Steve have said that E is Adam Hill.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Adam Hill. Let's see if that's right
0:29:37 > 0:29:41and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Adam Hill.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Oh, Arwel and Steve, I'm so sorry.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52We'll discover why in a moment, but Tom and Angus, well done.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54That means after one question, you are up one-nil.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yeah, he was the Best Comedy breakthrough Artist
0:29:56 > 0:29:59but it's Adam HILLS, I'm afraid, so can't take Adam Hill.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01It would have scored you 13 points.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04The best two answers on the board, those two, as well
0:30:04 > 0:30:06because A is Miranda Hart.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08She would have scored you 64.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15B is Alan Carr and he would have scored you 68.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19And C is Jack Whitehall and he would have scored you 44.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- That's tough.- Mm, very tough.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Thanks very much. So here comes your second question.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Arwel and Steve, you get to answer this one first
0:30:28 > 0:30:31but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32It concerns...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37The Wizard Of Oz. Richard?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40We're going to show you five clues now to facts about the 1939 film
0:30:40 > 0:30:42of The Wizard Of Oz. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47We have got...
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Arwel and Steve, you will go first.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21THEY WHISPER
0:31:25 > 0:31:27We're going to go with the name
0:31:27 > 0:31:28of Dorothy's dog - Toto.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Toto, say Arwel and Steve, for Dorothy's dog. Toto.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Now, Tom and Angus, that board is all yours.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Talk us through it if you can.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Don't know the director.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39We think we know the song.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40We don't know the name of
0:31:40 > 0:31:42the Good Witch. We knew the dog.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and not sure on the city either.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- So...- I think we're going to go with
0:31:46 > 0:31:48the song from the film -
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Along The Yellow Brick Road.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Along With The Yellow Brick Road, you're going to say.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Along The Yellow Brick Road.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55So we have Toto verses Along The Yellow Brick Road.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Arwel and Steve said Toto. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Let's see how many people said Toto.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03It's right.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Popular answer. 77.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07APPLAUSE
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Tom and Angus have gone for Along The Yellow Brick Road.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Let's see, if that's right, how many people said that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Nope. I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21which means, Arwel and Steve, you have equalised.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23You're back in the game. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I think Arwel and Steve knew they were safe.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Not Follow or Along The Yellow Brick Road -
0:32:27 > 0:32:28it's Over The Rainbow.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Much more famous song from Wizard Of Oz. 56 points for that.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36The director named in the original credits used to be a stunt car driver
0:32:36 > 0:32:38and he's called Victor Fleming.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Lots of directors worked on it but he was the one credited.
0:32:40 > 0:32:412 points for that.
0:32:41 > 0:32:47The Good Witch of the North is Glinda and would have scored you 16.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50And the Wizard of Oz resides in the Emerald City.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Another big scorer, though. 43 for that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Well done if you got all of those. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59OK, here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Whoever when this goes on to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:08 > 0:33:12People who have appeared on Bank of England banknotes. Richard?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14We're going to show you five sets of initials now.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16They're people who have appeared on Bank of England banknotes
0:33:16 > 0:33:19between 1970 and 2013. Can you give us the most obscure?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Very best of luck, both teams.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23OK, let's reveal our sets of initials, and here they come.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26We've got...
0:33:32 > 0:33:33I'll read those again.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Tom and Angus, you will
0:33:38 > 0:33:40go first this time.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44This is going to be a really big guess because neither of us
0:33:44 > 0:33:47can think of a single answer that
0:33:47 > 0:33:49we know is definitely right.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52So... I think we're going to go for
0:33:52 > 0:33:57CW and say Charles Wilson.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Charles Wilson. OK, Charles Wilson. Now, Arwel and Steve.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Um...- Talk us through as much of that board as you can.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Well, we're struggling as well.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I can only go for one of them,
0:34:08 > 0:34:09which I'm not sure of.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11The top one, Elizabeth Fry.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13OK, Elizabeth Fry.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15So we have Charles Wilson versus Elizabeth Fry.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Tom and Angus... Well, let's see if Charles Wilson is right, shall we?
0:34:21 > 0:34:22No, I'm afraid...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Good guess. You know, always hard when the pressure is on.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Arwel and Steve have gone for Elizabeth Fry, EF.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Let's see if that's right.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33All it has to be, of course, at this stage,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35is right and you will win the point.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40It's right! Very well done.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Down it goes. In fact, to 26.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Which means, Arwel and Steve,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53after three questions you are through to the final two-one.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Well played, Arwel and Steve. Let's go through all of these.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Elizabeth Fry, of course, on the back of the £5 note.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Going to be replaced by
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Winston Churchill fairly soon.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03JW is James Watt. 8 points for that.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05CW, not Charles Wilson.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Christopher Wren.- Christopher Wren.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Would have scored you 6.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11And the next one, it was the first
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Governor of the Bank of England.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14The best answer on the board,
0:35:14 > 0:35:15as you'd imagine. John Houblon.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Would have scored you 4.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18And on the back of the one pound
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- note, remember them?- Isaac Newton.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Isaac Newton, of course.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2330 points for Isaac Newton.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:35:28 > 0:35:32is Tom and Angus. Well, you started off well with Will Ferrell there,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34but then I'm afraid you... Yes.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36They were tough, those boards.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39But you would be back for the next show, where I'm sure you will do
0:35:39 > 0:35:42just as well, possibly even better, so best of luck for that.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45And thanks very much for playing meantime. Tom and Angus.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48APPLAUSE
0:35:48 > 0:35:51But for Arwel and Steve, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Congratulations, Arwel and Steve.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You've fought off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14This is the way the show is meant to end.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17This is absolutely right. It's absolutely fitting and proper
0:36:17 > 0:36:19that you should be here in this last round.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Obviously what would really complete this programme,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25the best would be a jackpot win.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Now, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30There are four options to choose from.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Let's hope there's something on there for you.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:36:40 > 0:36:42We'll try the Premier League.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44The Premier League it is. Richard?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Yeah, good luck, guys. Three different options here.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Plenty of pointless answers,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51plenty of chance here to have our fifth jackpot in a row.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54We are looking for anyone who's won the Golden Boot for leading
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Premier League scorer since 1992/93, when the Premier League was set up,
0:36:58 > 0:37:00all the way through to the 2012/13 season.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Or we are looking for...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13So, Golden Boot winners, managers with 100 wins or more
0:37:13 > 0:37:15or goalkeepers with 100 clean sheets or more.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Very best of luck.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:20 > 0:37:22and all you need to win that jackpot is for just
0:37:22 > 0:37:24one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31What do you think?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Teddy Sheringham for the goal scorer?- Golden Boot.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Hmm, not sure.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Goalkeepers. Carlo Cudicini?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Yeah.- I'm not sure.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45The Man City keeper before...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Before Joe Hart.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Um...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52No.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54It's funny how your mind goes blank, isn't it?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Managers.- Managers.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Well, Alex Ferguson. - What about Stuart Pearce?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Do you think he won 100 games?- Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07We could try Stuart Pearce. Carlo Cudicini.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Golden Boot, Darren Bent win a Golden Boot?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Possibly.- Um...
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Oh, God. I can't think of anything at the moment.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Dion Dublin.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19In trying to think of sort of obscure ones.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Ten seconds left.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Um... - ARWEL MUTTERS UNDER HIS BREATH
0:38:23 > 0:38:24- Chelsea keeper.- Yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26- Carlo Cudicini.- Yeah.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29THEY TALK INAUDIBLY
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What are you going to give me?
0:38:34 > 0:38:40- Goalkeeper, we'll try Carlo Cudicini.- Carlo Cudicini.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Manager, Stuart Pearce. - Stuart Pearce.
0:38:42 > 0:38:48And Golden Boot, we'll say Teddy Sheringham.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Teddy Sheringham. - For the Golden Boot.- OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Now, of those three, which do you think is
0:38:52 > 0:38:54your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Cudicini.- I reckon maybe Cudicini. - Cudicini we'll put last.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- Sheringham.- Teddy Sheringham. - Teddy Sheringham we'll put first.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07And here they are. We've got...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Well, very, very best of luck. Three answers on that board.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Let's hope they're all right.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Let's hope at least one of them is pointless.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It's not our biggest ever jackpot
0:39:18 > 0:39:21but it is a record-breaking jackpot in one way if you win it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Arwel, what would you do with your share of the money?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I think I'd help out my hard-pressed family.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Got three children who need help with fees, buying houses
0:39:30 > 0:39:35and living abroad and perhaps have a little celebration as well.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Quite right. Steve, how about you?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40My wife and I are planning to go to San Francisco
0:39:40 > 0:39:44and then up to Seattle, so probably go towards that.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Excellent. Well, let's hope.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Fingers crossed at least one of those answers is pointless.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Your first answer was Teddy Sheringham.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53In this instance, we were looking for winners of the Golden Boot.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:39:55 > 0:39:57for you to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Let's see if it's going to be Teddy Sheringham.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03It's right.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Now all that has to happen is that has to go down to 0
0:40:08 > 0:40:10and you can leave here immediately with £1,000.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Down Teddy Sheringham takes us, through single figures,
0:40:13 > 0:40:14still going down!
0:40:14 > 0:40:15- Oh, 2!- Ooh!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17APPLAUSE
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Ooh.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21OK.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25So not a pointless answer, unfortunately.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27But that was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30so it's looking very good for your next two answers.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Your next answer was Stuart Pearce.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34In this case, we were looking for managers
0:40:34 > 0:40:36with 100 wins in the Premier League. Obviously, it has to be correct
0:40:36 > 0:40:39then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Let's see how many people said Stuart Pearce.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Ooh. Afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Which means you have only one more chance.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55which is Carlo Cudicini.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57In this case, we were looking for goalkeepers
0:40:57 > 0:40:59with 100 or more clean sheets. Let's find out.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02It has to be right then it has to be pointless
0:41:02 > 0:41:04for you to win the jackpot for £1,000.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06How many people said Carol Cudicini?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Oh, no!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Oh, I'm sorry.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm so sorry. Unfortunately...
0:41:17 > 0:41:20..you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But you have been so good right across both shows.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You had a great answer with your first answer, Teddy Sheringham.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32But sadly, not a pointless answer among them,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34so I'm afraid you go home without the jackpot,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37but with two Pointless trophies so very well done for that.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Yeah, unlucky, gents.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43You know, that 60 seconds is very tough.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46You're going to know a lot of the pointless answers up here,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48but it is so difficult in 60 seconds.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Carlo Cudicini, he was Petr Cech's number two for two long, really,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52to have kept that many clean sheets.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Petr Cech obviously was on the list but would have scored 15 points.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58And Stuart Pearce, a nonstarter, I'm afraid.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59While you were talking as well
0:41:59 > 0:42:01you had a couple of names for Golden Boot.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04You said Darren Bent, who was an incorrect answer.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08You also said Dion Dublin, who was a pointless answer, I'm afraid.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Would have been five jackpots in a row.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Carlos Tevez would have been pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Chris Sutton would have been a very good answer, from the early days
0:42:15 > 0:42:18of the Premier League. Dion Dublin, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Take a look at some of the managers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22George Graham, again from the early years of the Premier League.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Gerard Houllier, Kevin Keegan. Martin O'Neill was a pointless answer.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Also Alan Curbishley, David O'Leary
0:42:27 > 0:42:32and Mark Hughes is on that list for about 50 different clubs.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Goalkeepers with clean sheets.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Jussi Jaaskelainen for Bolton and West Ham.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Mark Schwarzer, Middlesbrough and Fulham mainly. He's at Chelsea now.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Shay Given. Thomas Sorensen has been at a few clubs as well.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46But only four pointless answers there. So tough in that 60 seconds.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47So finally, we don't give away a jackpot.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49It was going to happen sooner or later.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Hm, it is. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Arwel and Steve.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57It's been wonderful having you on. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Arwel and Steve. Great contestants.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Sadly, Arwel and Steve didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:06 > 0:43:08when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
