0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25And a very warm welcome to Pointless, the show where obvious
0:00:25 > 0:00:28answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Georgie. This is my friend Mark and we're from Leeds.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Steve.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is my friend Jez and we are from Kinver in South Staffordshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Jake.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47This is my mum, Victoria, and we're from London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- And finally, couple number four.- Hi, I'm Adrian. This is my friend Stan.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm from Bromley in Kent and Stan is from Horsham in West Sussex.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show
0:01:00 > 0:01:02as it goes along, so that just
0:01:02 > 0:01:03leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Overseeing Pointless like an umpire
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and, like an umpire, he just cannot be serious,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Thank you, everyone. Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you.- And to you. - Are you all right?- Yeah, I'm fine.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- I'd say you're in a very good mood. - Yeah, do you know, I think I am.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Oh, good.- I can't remember why. - That makes a change.- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Now, we learnt a very, very valuable lesson on the last show,
0:01:28 > 0:01:29- a very valuable lesson.- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Which is always listen to your mum, that's the key thing.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I think most of us know that anyway, but some people don't know that.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- I tell you one person who doesn't know that - Jake.- He knows it now.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42So head-to-head, Jake and Victoria against Michael and Rachel,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43they were 1-0 up.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Victoria suggested going for a particular answer,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Jake overruled her in that way that 23-year-old sons do.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52He was fairly sure. And they got knocked out.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Victoria's answer was the right one. And then Michael and Rachel
0:01:56 > 0:01:58went on to pick up the jackpot... VICTORIA GASPS
0:01:58 > 0:02:00with three Pointless answers as well.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Oh, wow.- Yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Jake, just saying.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06LAUGHTER
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Just saying. That's an expensive lesson, isn't it?- Yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, we're back to £1,000 today which is always good, isn't it?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I think everybody likes that because of the simplicity of it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Victoria and Jake were terrific last time.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Mark and Georgie also made an impression last time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Hopefully see a bit more of you today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Thanks very much indeed. And now, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:24 > 0:02:26have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Our contestants here are on the hunt for obscure answers
0:02:28 > 0:02:29those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Of course, everyone is trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:32 > 0:02:35an answer that none of our 100 people gave. And each time
0:02:35 > 0:02:37that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40As you'll have gathered, Rachel and Michael won the jackpot last time
0:02:40 > 0:02:43so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53So, all you have to remember is that the pair with
0:02:53 > 0:02:56the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57So just make sure that's not you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Our first category today is...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Soundtracks.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07who's going to go second.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Artists Of 1990s Film Songs. Richard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23On each board, we're going to show you the names of seven top 40 hits,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25all of which were featured on films.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27You just need to tell us the name of the artist, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30There's going to be seven on each board, there's going to be 14
0:03:30 > 0:03:32in all, to have a go at home. So very best of luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35OK, so we're looking for the artists who recorded these songs that
0:03:35 > 0:03:37featured in the soundtracks of 1990s films,
0:03:37 > 0:03:38and here's our first board of seven.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Georgie, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you very much.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Nice to be here. - You had a bit of a...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I mean, what an extreme round we had from you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Yeah, I had a bit of a mind lapse.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I mean, Mark tried to save the day with his one-point answer,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21but couldn't quite be brought back.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I knew the answer was wrong as soon as I said it, to be honest.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- You had the highest and lowest score of the round.- Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I mean, you encompassed the whole range there.- Exactly.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Just in one pair. It was fantastic.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Anyway, remind us what you do, Georgie.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I'm a supervisor in a high-end retail, fashion.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And remind us what you like getting up to.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41In my spare time, I like watching films,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44so this round will hopefully be good for me.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I do a lot of photography and I'm a keen whisky drinker as well.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48A keen whisky...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51A sort of sampler of whisky, you understand.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Very much an academic pursuit.- Yes. - Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, yes, you said you're hoping...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I mean, you can see what the round is looking like.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Yeah, I know quite a few of them. - Oh, good.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04It's just judging what other people will know from the hundred.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I think I'm going to go with Kiss From A Rose,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11which is by Seal.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Seal, says Georgie, for Kiss From A Rose.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Seal.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19It's right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:2446.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27APPLAUSE
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Not a bad start there, it was number 20 on its original release,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35went to number four later. He's got a degree in architecture, Seal.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And you can hear it in the songs because he plans a
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- meticulous, classical design there. - That's exactly right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42That's exactly right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Jez, welcome. Welcome to Pointless. What you do, Jez?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I'm an infrared thermographer.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49LAUGHTER
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What was the last word you said?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Thermographer.- A thermographer. OK. Yeah, that's good.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57That is just exciting. That's fun.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Wow, do you go out looking for fugitives?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- With night vision goggles?- I wish.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Or ghosts. No. I take pictures of buildings looking for energy loss...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08ALEXANDER YAWNS, LAUGHTER
0:06:08 > 0:06:11No, good for you. That is fantastic. That is quite fun though
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- and very revealing, I should think. - Yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Have you ever seen anything you shouldn't have seen in infrared?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Sadly, no.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20The infrared figure of someone stepping from a shower or something,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- I don't know.- No.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Sorry.- How disappointing.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I once saw a vet with his hands in half a horse.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30LAUGHTER
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Why didn't you say, "Yes, I've seen something very interesting," then?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- It's a weekly event.- A vet with his hands in half a horse.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Wow.- How about that?- There's a job.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Brilliant. OK, now, Jez.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48There is the board. How many of those do you think you know?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Quite a few, actually.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I think I'm going to go for Iris
0:06:53 > 0:06:54with the Goo Goo Dolls.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The Goo Goo Dolls. OK, let's see if that's right. The Goo Goo Dolls.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It is right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:0746 is our only score at this point, you've passed that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Still passing that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:119, very well done indeed.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Goo Goo Dolls scores you 9. Good work, Jez.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16APPLAUSE
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Iris is one of those songs that you don't think you know but you do.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23If you go and put Iris on your computer or something now,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I guarantee you'll know it but you won't have heard of it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28It's been in the top 100 for about 20 years non-stop.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yeah. Thank you very much.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Now, Victoria. Welcome. Back, I should say.- Thank you.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36So, our low scorers going into the head-to-head round.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Ooh, nice big jackpot waiting there. - Thanks.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Then we had... It was a tough round on rocket science, to be honest.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Doesn't get much tougher than... I mean, brain surgery, rocket science.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Seemed quite cruel.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It would have been slightly risible if that round
0:07:51 > 0:07:52- had turned out to be a doddle. - Exactly.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55But, no, the rocket science round was genuinely hard.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Victoria, remind us what you like getting up to. What fills your day?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Hobby wise, I'm a knitter and crocheter.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03You see, we didn't get round to this
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- because we were on the news last time.- We were on the news, I know.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, that does fill my... News is just my work.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13No, but hobby wise, I'm a crafty person.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Doesn't sound very interesting, does it?- No, sounds good.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I got a lot of crafting done here. - It's good.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Really, I imagine you have, yes, between the rounds.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Obviously, it looks like it's very slick.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24We've been in here for, what is it? Nearly 17 hours
0:08:24 > 0:08:26we've been in now so far. Still only Round One.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm actually still doing it behind this thing, nobody can see.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Knit one, pearl one.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So, Victoria, what are you going to go for?
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Well, this is not my strong point, and I think that ones that
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I know, I imagine everybody knows,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46so I'm just trying to think of lesser of two evils.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49And I'm going to say R. Kelly for I Believe I Can Fly.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51R. Kelly.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53OK, let's see if that's right,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said R. Kelly.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:0627.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Well played, Victoria.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15The soundtrack to Space Jam sold over six million copies in the States.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Wow. I imagine he probably believes he can fly.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes. Sometimes it's just about belief.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- If you really believe you can fly, then maybe you can.- That's nice.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Yeah. Like heart surgery.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30If you really want it, if you want it enough...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32If you really want...
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I did Heart Surgery Idol in the States, and I just...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I just wanted it more than anything.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41In that instance, it didn't really help, did it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yeah, I got knocked out in the semis. - You got knocked out?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- What about your patient?! - Oh, yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Yeah.- That didn't end well.- DOA.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Anyway.- There it is.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52But it was all done to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- so it made good television. - It was good, yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58OK, thank you very much. Now, Adrian. Welcome to the show.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Good to have you here.- Thank you. - What do you do, Adrian?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I do my own thing at the moment, but before that,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I was in the Department for the Environment and I used to edit
0:10:05 > 0:10:07a little booklet called The Environment In Your Pocket.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09That's like The World In Your Hands
0:10:09 > 0:10:12but The Environment In Your Pocket, sounds more fun.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14And what was in the book?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Lots of little interesting statistics on global warming,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21air quality, water quality, all that sort of stuff.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Did you ever use thermographic imagery?- I'm afraid not, no.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26No, we should have got it in there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29You see, well, listen, if you ever wanted to go back.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31If you got bored doing your own thing and want to go back to the
0:10:31 > 0:10:35pocket, I know exactly where you should go for some illustrations.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Thermal Imaging In Your Pocket. - It would be amazing. Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Whoa!- That's good, that's good. - Are you sure?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Thermal Imaging In Your Pocket. - Are you sure?- You could do...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Heat loss through trousers is a serious...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47LAUGHTER
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Think about it. - Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I'm...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I'm not sure it's appropriate.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55OK, anyway, listen. Adrian, here we are. We've got to...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58This board's all yours. Do you want to talk us through all the blanks?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Um, I only know one, which is probably the worst of the two evils
0:11:02 > 0:11:04that was mentioned earlier, I think.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So I shall go for I Will Always Love You,
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Whitney Houston.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Whitney Houston, says Adrian. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12See how many of our 100 people said Whitney Houston.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15It's right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:1880.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21APPLAUSE
0:11:22 > 0:11:2480. That gave people such a fright.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26There were a couple of people in the audience who went, "Oh!"
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It was like the Blair Witch Project all over again.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Anyway, 80 for Whitney Houston.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yeah, tough answer though if you're on the fourth podium
0:11:33 > 0:11:36if you've run out of answers there. Let's go through the rest of these.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- End Of The Road?- I'd say Boyz II Men.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You'd be right, yeah. Absolutely.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Would have scored you 5. Lovefool?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- The Cardigans.- The Cardigans, yeah.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Would have scored you 14. And You Could Be Mine?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48That's the toughie.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I don't know that one. - It's Guns N' Roses.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Guns N' Roses, and that would have scored you 6 points.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So the best answer up there is Boyz II Men. Well done if you said that.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Let's take a look at those scores. 9, Jez and Steve.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Very well done indeed. Lovely low score there.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Then up to 27 where we find Victoria and Jake.
0:12:04 > 0:12:0846, Georgie and Mark. Then 80, Adrian and Stan.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10However, Stan, you get first dibs
0:12:10 > 0:12:11on the next board so find a lovely low score
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and it might be enough to keep you in the game, so best of luck.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players
0:12:17 > 0:12:18please step up to the podium?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24OK, let's put seven more songs up on the board and here they come.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We've got...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41I'll read those one last time.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Stan, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58How are you feeling now you've seen this board?
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- This is a nightmare for me, I think. - Oh, Stan, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Anyway, before we go into the nightmare, what do you do?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I'm retired civil servant, I used to be a government
0:13:10 > 0:13:12statistician for about 30 years or so.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13What was the best statistic
0:13:13 > 0:13:16you came across as a statistician for the government?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Or are they classified?- I would not want to say too much about...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22In which case, let's hear the juiciest one you've got, Stan.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24LAUGHTER
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Statistics. So what you do with your retirement?
0:13:26 > 0:13:32Yeah, well, I've tried to bring my school subjects up-to-date.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I very much like science
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and what I learnt at school on science,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I realise, is pretty dated.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So I've gone into a lot more technical issues
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- on quantum theory and stuff like that.- Very good.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'm impressed, Stan.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm sorry that your reward for all that is this.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yes.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56OK, well, the only one I could make a stab at
0:13:56 > 0:14:00is Everything I Do, I Do It For You,
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Bryan Adams.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Bryan Adams...- But I'm not sure it's right.- ..says Stan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Well, listen, you're the highest scorers.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09You won't get a red line, but you want to see how far Bryan Adams
0:14:09 > 0:14:11goes down the column with Everything I Do, I Do It For You.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13How many people said it?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16It's right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:1962.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21APPLAUSE
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So, 142 is your total.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yeah, one of the biggest selling singles of all time,
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Everything I Do, I Do It For You.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The melody was actually written in the 1960s
0:14:31 > 0:14:33by Michael Kamen, the composer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35He gave it to Bryan Adams many years later.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- He gave him a melody, that's nice. - That's nice, isn't it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- You very much, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Now, now, Jake. Listen, news.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45And it's good news.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46You're in the next round.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49You're on 27. Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake
0:14:49 > 0:14:51the high score of Stan and Adrian.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Jake, remind us what you do.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'm in online payments.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's right, in online payments.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Now, what actually do you particularly need to do in online?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Because online payments...
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Call me a fool, kind of all take place online.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I mean, presumably, once you've set up the payment...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Yeah, it's just trying to get websites to sort of sign up to us.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I see. It's more marketing of the online payment system.- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Very good. I see. OK, now, Jake, what are you going to go for?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22I'm going to take a punt
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and say Gangsta's Paradise,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Coolio.- Coolio.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Coolio, says Jake. No red line for you because you're already through,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32but let's see how many people said Coolio.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It's absolutely right, Jake. That's a good punt to take.
0:15:40 > 0:15:4114.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44APPLAUSE
0:15:44 > 0:15:4641 is your total, Jake. Very well done.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well played, Jake. Very solid scoring, that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:5317 million albums sold worldwide by Coolio.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56He's also got his own cookery book, Cookin' With Coolio.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Are both of those things true?- Yes. Both of those things are true.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02His version of spaghetti bolognese is called Bro-Ghetti.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04LAUGHTER
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Bro-Ghetti.- Yeah.- That's good. That's nice.- Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Steve. Steve. Now, listen. I've got good news for you as well.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- You're also through to the next round.- Very good.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Absolutely right, lovely low score from Jez in the first pass.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- What do you do, Steve? - I'm an operations manager
0:16:20 > 0:16:25for a company that imports and sells hardware products.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And what are your hobbies, Steve?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I like sports, live music,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34karaoke, ballroom dancing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Excellent. OK. Now, Steve. You're on 9, as I say.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You're already through. There won't be a red line appearing
0:16:39 > 0:16:43for you, but I think you'll probably have good couple of answers
0:16:43 > 0:16:44up your sleeve there.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yeah, there's a couple that I know.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49As we're through, I'm going to have a little bit of a punt at one.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Stuck In The Middle With You,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I think might have been the Steve Miller Band.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sounded very good to start with. Steve Miller Band.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Let's see if that's right.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01No red line, as I say, because you're already through.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Let's see how many people said Steve Miller Band.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Scores you the maximum
0:17:12 > 0:17:13of 100 points. Takes you up to 109.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- But you're already through, so it's fine.- Yeah, exactly.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Worth a punt. Not Steve Miller Band, I'm afraid.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21He's the less successful brother of Ed and David Miliband.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24LAUGHTER
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Thanks very much, Richard. Mark.- Hi.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Now, listen. You are not through.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- No.- I mean you have to score 95 or less to get through.- Wow.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35So, you essentially have to be right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Anyway, let's put that to one side. Mark, remind us what you do.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yeah, I find people work in the beauty industry
0:17:40 > 0:17:42or in high-end fashion retail.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- OK, now, Mark.- Yes.- Your hobbies,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46what do you fill your day with when you're not...
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I mean, I suspect you enjoy the job as well.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Yeah, of course, completely.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52But as I mentioned on the previous show, I'm engaged,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56so my hobbies now consist of also being a good househusband,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59sadly, so it's cooking, cleaning, ironing,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01being told what to do, being told I've done it wrong.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Many times I've been told I've done it wrong.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05But being told with a smile.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Being told with a smile
0:18:06 > 0:18:09and, "If you don't do it right, then you don't get this."
0:18:09 > 0:18:11OK, I'm not go to ask what "this" is.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13LAUGHTER
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- OK. Listen, you're on 46.- Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This is where the contest is going to be fought out.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20142 on the far podium, 46 here on the near.
0:18:20 > 0:18:2195 or less is what you have to score.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Talk us through the board, Mark,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and fill in as many of those blanks as you can.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I still know two, My Heart Will Go On is Celine Dion,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32but I'm going to go for I Don't Want To Miss A Thing,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and that is going to be Aerosmith.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Aerosmith, says Mark. Here comes your red line.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It's going to be nice and high.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Get below that with Aerosmith and you are in Round Two.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Let's see how many people said Aerosmith.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's right and you are through.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Good answer, 33.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54LAUGHTER
0:18:54 > 0:18:5579 is your total.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Another huge hit single that sold over a million copies
0:19:01 > 0:19:03in the UK, just like Gangsta's Paradise, actually.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Let's take a look through some of the lower scorers.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now, Stuck In The Middle With You?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Stealers Wheel.- Stealers Wheel, yes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Gerry Rafferty was in that band.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- My Heart Will Go On?- Celine Dion. - Celine Dion.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Scored 65.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Lust For Life?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- Iggy Pop.- Iggy Pop.
0:19:21 > 0:19:224 points for that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And My Sharona? Do you remember that?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- I know the song.- By The Knack. - Oh, The Knack.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29The Knack, and that would have scored you 7 points.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So Iggy Pop, actually, the best answer on that board.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So at the end of the first round, I'm afraid the pair heading home
0:19:35 > 0:19:37with their high score of 142, Stan and Adrian.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But don't go all the way home because you'll be back for the next
0:19:40 > 0:19:42show, and we look forward to that. In the meantime, thanks.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Stan and Adrian. Brilliant.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:50But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55And so we're down to three pairs.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Obviously, at the end of this round, we're down to two pairs,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00in time for our head-to-head round.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, I think everyone can pat themselves on their back.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I mean, Victoria and Jake, once again, lovely low scoring there.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Steve and Jez, quite a high total in the end, but you took a massive
0:20:08 > 0:20:10punt on Steve Miller Band which I'm sure you wouldn't have done
0:20:10 > 0:20:12if you weren't safely through.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Mark and Georgie, well done. Through to Round Two for the first time.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Let's hope we get you to the head-to-head.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19That would be fantastic. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Our category for Round Two is...
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Winter Sports.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:28 > 0:20:30who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Winter Olympics locations as they could.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Winter Olympics locations. Richard.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48We are simply looking for the name of any country that has held
0:20:48 > 0:20:51the Winter Olympics up to and including the 2014 Games, please.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So any country that has held a Winter Olympics.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And we're looking for the modern-day name of those countries, please.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Mark.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'm going to go with Austria.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Austria, says Mark. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Austria.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Is right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:1727.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19APPLAUSE
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Good score there, Mark.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Well done, Mark. Good start. Held in Innsbruck in 1964 and 1976.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29OK, now, Steve.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Um...
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I've moved around the world a little bit.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I think I'm going to stay
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- and say Norway.- Norway, says Steve.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Norway.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Absolutely right, of course. 27 is what Austria scored.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Norway passes that, 24.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52APPLAUSE
0:21:55 > 0:21:59It's another good answer. Yeah, Oslo in 1952 and Lillehammer in 1994.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Was the first time they moved the Winter Olympics
0:22:01 > 0:22:04away from the Summer Olympics.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Thanks very much. Now then, Victoria.- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09What are you going to go for?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14I am not very good at Winter Olympics or Summer Olympics,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- but I'm going to guess Japan.- Japan.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let's see, is Japan right?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Japan.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It is right. Well, 27 is our high score, 24, our low.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Quite a narrow window at this stage.
0:22:30 > 0:22:3123. You extended it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33APPLAUSE
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Japan.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Well played, Victoria, in 1972 in Sapporo, in 1998 in Nagano.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Those are close scores, aren't they? - Aren't they?- How about that?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- What about that?- Photo finish - gold, silver and bronze.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yeah, very good. Thank you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We're halfway through the round, so I'm going to recap those
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- scores right now.- OK, why don't you do that? That'd be amazing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Yeah, have a listen to them because...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'd like to know where we stand.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Do you know what? Not only am I going to give the scores out,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm going to give advice to the people who are the high scorers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- That's a good idea. - That's just in case they need it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- OK.- Here we go.- I'm going to listen out for that.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0823, the best score on that pass.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Victoria and Jake, looking very strong.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Then up to 24, where we find Steve and Jez.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Then we travel up to 27, where we find Mark and Georgie.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17You are the high scorers at this point.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- So Mark and Georgie are the high scorers.- Yes, that's right.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Not by far.- But hold on, they've got more points than everyone else.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24LAUGHTER
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Yeah, the high scorers get eliminated at the end of each
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- round, so it's the low scorers... - So you want to have...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Oh, I got you. I've got you.- We've turned it on its head, Richard.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Victoria, actually a very good answer then.- Yeah, exactly.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Because she got the lowest score. - Exactly.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38But Georgie, this is what I'm going to say.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Georgie, because you're out in front there,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42when it comes to your turn, we need a low score to try
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and bring the average down.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46When you say out in front, though, do you mean out in behind?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Well, again, we've turned it on its head, so, yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Run with it, run with it. I think it's fine.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, I don't understand the scoring, but I'm enjoying the show.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56LAUGHTER
0:23:56 > 0:23:58OK, there we are. We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- This is just a bit of stage direction.- OK, good.- OK.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Now then, Jake, we are looking for any country
0:24:07 > 0:24:09that has hosted the Winter Olympic Games.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12There you are. You are on 23, the low scorers.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Remember, the high scorers get eliminated at the end of each round.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17So, yes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm going to say Finland.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Finland, says Jake.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22You get a red line, it's very low.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25But if you happened to go below that red line,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28you would definitely be in the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29How many people said Finland?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Oh, no!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Oh, Jakey.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42123 is your total. That scores you 100 points.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Yeah, sorry. Never held the Winter Olympics.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Proud winter nation of course.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48They held the Summer Olympics in 1952, so it's not a bad guess at all,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50but, I'm afraid, a wrong answer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Thank you. Jez.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Now, Jez, that's taken a bit of pressure off. Phew!
0:24:56 > 0:25:01What are you thinking of going for? 98 or less sees you through.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Just has to be right, really, doesn't it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05In which case,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Russia.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Russia, says Jez. OK, there's your red line.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's lovely and high. Let's see if Russia is right.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Let's see how many people said Russia.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17It's right and you're through.
0:25:21 > 0:25:2365 takes your total up to 89.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Sees you comfortably home and dry.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well done, Jez. That's all you had to do.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30In Sochi, of course, in 2014.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- It cost US50 billion, supposedly.- Wow.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Now, Georgie.- Yes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Once again, this is where the battlefield is.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's between you and the last podium over there. 123 the high score.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You're on 27, 95 or less gets you through.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I know a couple that are definitely right.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I could go with a risk,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49but I'm going to go with Canada.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Canada, says Georgie. There is your red line.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Canada, one would imagine would get you below that, but let's find out.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00There we are. Through you go.
0:26:02 > 0:26:0358.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05APPLAUSE
0:26:05 > 0:26:0985 is your total and you are in the head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, Calgary and Vancouver both held it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13In fact, Russia and Canada are the two biggest answers,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16but after Finland, you could both get away with it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19There's no pointless answers at all. There's only one low answer,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21and that's because it was held in Yugoslavia,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23but it's now Bosnia and Herzegovina. So if you said that...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Sarajevo, of course, would have been 2 points,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27would have been a terrific answer. And other than that,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30the best answers were Germany with 16, and Italy with 22.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And, as I say, we just heard the top two answers,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35and USA was third with 40 points.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Switzerland would have scored you 32 and France would have scored
0:26:37 > 0:26:40you 31. And those are all the answers out there.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading home
0:26:44 > 0:26:47with a high score of 123, it's Jake and Victoria.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I thought you were set fair
0:26:48 > 0:26:51for once again being golden couple in our head-to-head round.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55It all looked absolutely straight as a die there.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And I'm afraid Finland let you down.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Anyway, this is where we have to say goodbye. Jake and Victoria,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03it's been great having you on both shows but thanks for playing.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Thank you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Congratulations, Mark and Georgie, Steve and Jez.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, this is the point where we decide who gets to
0:27:24 > 0:27:27play for that money. We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Obviously, now you're allowed to confer. And the first player
0:27:30 > 0:27:32to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35This is exciting. It's Yorkshire versus Staffordshire.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Yorkies V Staffs.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38LAUGHTER
0:27:38 > 0:27:40To bring it down to sort of terrier level there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44But, yeah, I think this is going to be a proper dogfight.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:00 > 0:28:01University Chancellors. Richard.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03We're going to show you five pictures now
0:28:03 > 0:28:06of people who are or who have been university chancellors.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08You just need to tell us who the most obscure is, please.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09OK, thanks, Richard.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Let's reveal our five university chancellors and here they are.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14We've got...
0:28:31 > 0:28:33There we are, five university chancellors.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Mark and Georgie, you will go first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:41SHE WHISPERS
0:28:41 > 0:28:46I recognise D, but I just can't remember her name.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51So I think we're going to go with A for Brian May.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54A, Brian May, say Mark and Georgie.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Now, Steve and Jez, the board is all yours.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Talk us through them if you can.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Well, we don't know B or D,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05but we think C is Floella Benjamin
0:29:05 > 0:29:08and we think E might be Bill Bryson.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11So we're going to go with Bill Bryson.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13You're going to say E, Bill Bryson.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16So we have Brian May versus Bill Bryson.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Mark and Georgie said Brian May for A. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:2775 for Brian May.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30APPLAUSE
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Steve and Jez have said E is Bill Bryson.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Bill Bryson.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Well done. Wins you the point.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And how! Look at that. 18.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Good job, Steve and Jez. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Yeah, Bill Bryson was a chancellor at Durham
0:29:57 > 0:29:59and Brian May, at Liverpool John Moores.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01B, is Professor Tanya Byron,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Edge Hill University.
0:30:03 > 0:30:051 point for that, terrific answer.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06You were right about C,
0:30:06 > 0:30:08the Chancellor of Exeter University,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Floella Benjamin.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Would have scored you 40.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I just remembered who D is.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Zandra Rhodes.- Zandra Rhodes is absolutely right.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Would have scored you 26 points.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Mark and Georgie, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Hampton Court Palace. Richard.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Going to show you five clues now
0:30:35 > 0:30:37relating to facts about Hampton Court Palace.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Can you give us the best answer up there?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44We've got...
0:30:59 > 0:31:00I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Now, Steve and Jez, you will go first.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22THEY WHISPER
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I perhaps ought to know some of these,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28but unfortunately, I only know
0:31:28 > 0:31:31that it was built next to the Thames.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33OK, the Thames, say Steve and Jez.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35The Thames. Now, Mark and Georgie.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Do you fancy talking us through the board and having some thoughts?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I know two of them for sure.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Jane Seymour gave birth to a son at the Palace
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and she died not long afterwards.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49The king held prisoner in the palace was Charles I.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I'm probably going to go for the king who was held
0:31:52 > 0:31:55prisoner in the palace in 1647
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- as King Charles I.- Charles I.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59So we have the Thames and we have Charles I.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Steve and Jez went with the Thames, let's see if that's right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08It's right.
0:32:09 > 0:32:1169 for the Thames.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Mark and Georgie have gone for Charles I,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22the monarch held there in 1647.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Absolutely right. Clue's in the date,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and it wins you the point.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Very well done.
0:32:33 > 0:32:3417.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36APPLAUSE
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Excellent performance there, Mark and Georgie.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42That brings you back into the game, back into contention.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- After two questions, it's one all. - Yeah, well played, Mark.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Actually, your other answer would've been slightly better even
0:32:48 > 0:32:50because Jane Seymour would've scored you 14 points.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55The decade it was opened was the 1830s.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59And that's a pointless answer, so very well done if you got that.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02That's a real toughie. And the last monarch to reside there.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03- Can I guess?- Yes, you can.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I thought it might have been Henry VIII himself.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It wasn't, it was George II.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12George II, also the last monarch to fight in battle. 1 point for that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes your third question.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16This is the decider.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Bronte Novels. Richard.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29We're going to show you now five novels by one of the Bronte sisters.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30We're just going to show you
0:33:30 > 0:33:32the number of letters in each word in those titles.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Can you decipher which novels we are looking for, please?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Mark and Georgie will go first.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59THEY WHISPER
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I think we're going to go with
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Jane Eyre for the 4,4.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Jane Eyre, say Mark and Georgie.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Jane Eyre. Now, Steve and Jez...
0:34:15 > 0:34:17We haven't got a clue.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Can't even think of words that actually fit those numbers
0:34:19 > 0:34:21if I'm honest at the moment!
0:34:21 > 0:34:22The...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24LAUGHTER
0:34:24 > 0:34:26The...Invincibles.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- The Invincibles. - Yeah, that's a good one.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It was a good film.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- It was Incredibles. - Oh, The Incredibles.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33LAUGHTER
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Was it The Incredibles?- Yeah.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I cannot think of one Bronte novel.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42OK, what do you want to do?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44We'll go with The Incredibles.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45The Incredibles, OK.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46THEY LAUGH
0:34:46 > 0:34:49The Incredibles. So we have Jane Eyre versus The Incredibles.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Mark and Georgie said Jane Eyre. Let's see if it's right
0:34:52 > 0:34:53and how many people said that.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59It's right, which at this stage, might be the key thing.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0140.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03APPLAUSE
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Meanwhile, Steve and Jez have gone for The Incredibles.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Let's see if that's right.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Let's see if that's right.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Oh.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Very well done. Mark and Georgie,
0:35:19 > 0:35:23after three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Yeah, I would watch Jane Eyre versus The Incredibles though.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27That'd be a brilliant film.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30The Incredibles is 11 letters. The Credibles would have fitted.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32But it's not that, it's actually a Charlotte Bronte novel.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35It was the first one she wrote. It was published posthumously.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37It was initially rejected. It was The Professor.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41A terrific answer as well. 5 points. So well done if you said that.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I think, guys, you knew the second one.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Wuthering Heights. - It is Wuthering Heights, yeah.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Slightly bigger score, 42 for that.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You knew that, gents, didn't you?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53And 3,6,2,8,4. Do you know that one?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Anne Bronte novel.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall.- Yeah.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59That would have scored 9.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02And another Charlotte Bronte novel at the bottom there,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Shirley.- Shirley, yes, I should have known that one.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08And that's 7. So The Professor is the best answer up there.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I'm sorry to say, Steve and Jez. Well, it was all going so well.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Bill Bryson saw you sailing in there.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Anyway, the good news is we get to see you again.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Otherwise, it would've been your only appearance on Pointless.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24And we look forward to that very much indeed. Steve and Jez.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Great contestants.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28APPLAUSE
0:36:28 > 0:36:31But for Mark and Georgie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Congratulations, Mark and Georgie.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38You've seen off all the competition
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Well, last time, Round One, you were gone, that was it.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Although, saying that, we had a little glimpse.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- We had Audrey Callaghan from Mark. - Yeah, 1.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Yeah, lowest score, I think of the whole show pretty much
0:37:05 > 0:37:07with the exception, obviously, of the jackpot round.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10But some really good answers the whole way through the show.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12As always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:37:12 > 0:37:13we put up on the board.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Let's hope there's something on that board that appeals to you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Here are the four.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- I know what I would go for. - You'd go for World Politics.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I'd go for World Politics, no problem.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Chick-Lit, no. Glam Rock, no. - Glam Rock, no.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I don't think my hair is pink enough.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38SHE LAUGHS
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I think we're going to go with World Politics.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Yeah, we'll go for World Politics. I'm going to eat my words, aren't I?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- World Politics it is. - OK, very best of luck.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Three very different categories here. Hopefully one of these suits you.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We're looking for any secretary-general
0:37:53 > 0:37:57of the United Nations who was born outside Europe.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59We are looking for any UK prime minister who's become
0:37:59 > 0:38:02prime minister that wasn't in the immediate consequence of an election.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05They could have been elected afterwards or beforehand, but if at
0:38:05 > 0:38:07any point they've become prime minister
0:38:07 > 0:38:10without an election happening, they are an acceptable answer.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Or we're looking for any US president whose surname has one syllable.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Very, very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three
0:38:27 > 0:38:30answers. And all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is for just
0:38:30 > 0:38:32one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39- OK.- Take it away.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40THEY LAUGH
0:38:40 > 0:38:43OK, unelected UK prime ministers, the only thing I can think of
0:38:43 > 0:38:45is Gordon Brown, which is too popular.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Non-European secretary-general, Kofi Annan and Ban Ki Moon.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51There was Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56One syllable presidents, I can think of Ulysses S Grant
0:38:56 > 0:38:58and I think it's James Polk.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- So...- Which three do you think?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Yeah, can I...
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Um... Yeah, can you stop the clock?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07OK, we're going to stop the clock.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09What about that? Whoa!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11OK, look at that. What are your three answers going to be?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14OK, for non-European UN secretaries-general,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I'm going to go for Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Boutros Boutros-Ghali. - Boutros Boutros-Ghali, yes.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21One-syllable president's surname,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I'm going to go for Ulysses S Grant.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Ulysses S Grant.- Yes, thank you for pronouncing his first name.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31And I think it's James Polk, P-O-L-K.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32- James Polk.- Polk. Yeah.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34OK, now, of those three, which is your best shot
0:39:34 > 0:39:35for the pointless answer?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'm going to go for President Grant.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- OK. - ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:39:39 > 0:39:42President Grant. Ulysses S Grant, we'll put last.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45James Polk because I don't even know if it's right,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47it just sounded right in my head.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51We have got...
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- Well, best of luck.- Thank you.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Your first answer was James Polk.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Now, this is the one that you thought was probably least likely
0:40:02 > 0:40:03to be pointless.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Yeah, I don't know if there was a Polk, it just sounded right.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Well, only one of them has to be pointless
0:40:09 > 0:40:10- for you to win that jackpot. - Yeah, OK.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12And if you were to win that jackpot of £1,000,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14what would you do with it? Georgie?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Well, we'll be splitting it evenly.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19With £500, I'd really love to travel as well, so I'd probably go to
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Venice because it's at the top of my hit list, to be honest.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Everything else is a little bit further afield,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- so I think I'd tick off Venice first.- Venice, OK. Mark?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Probably not as exciting. I'd put it towards my wedding next year.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Surely.- Yeah, it's going to have to.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34So it's either going to be a case of matching suits or a band
0:40:34 > 0:40:38or a DJ or, you know, if I get my own way, a fireworks display.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- But, you know, it's 50-50 at a wedding, sadly.- OK.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - You'll find it's all the way
0:40:43 > 0:40:45through, that's pretty much the rule.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- I can imagine that's the rest of married life.- Yeah, that's it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Anyway, two excellent things to be putting it towards.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51- Thank you.- Best of luck.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Let's hope at least one of these answers is right and pointless.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Your first answer, James Polk. Let's find out, for £1,000,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58if it's right. Let's find out if it's pointless.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05He's right. James Polk, wherever it came from,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07was a correct answer.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Polk now taking us down through the 20s,
0:41:09 > 0:41:10through the teens,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12into single figures.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Down it goes, still going down
0:41:14 > 0:41:15you've done it! I knew you would!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Very well done indeed. Superb.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Absolutely fantastic.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- Very well done.- Thank you.- Superb.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Congratulations, James Polk was a pointless answer,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000. Superb.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- That was a punt.- Wow.- It was a good punt.- It was a very good punt.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42You've had some terrific answers on both shows, actually, Mark.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45And you've excelled yourself there. Very well played.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Not only a pointless answer, you also had the opportunity
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- to say Boutros Boutros-Ghali on telly.- Yeah.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50That doesn't go on TV much.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You should never pass up the opportunity to say that.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Actually, the Boutros Boutros-Ghali would have scored you 7 points
0:41:56 > 0:41:59and Ulysses S Grant would have scored you 5 points, so James Polk
0:41:59 > 0:42:02was very much your strongest answer, so very well played.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04In fact, there's only one pointless answer
0:42:04 > 0:42:07for the secretaries-general, so tough category to go for, that one.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10But if you had said Javier Perez De Cuellar, that's a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Very well done if you had said that. Kofi Annan, the biggest scorer there.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at some of these prime ministers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17There's quite a few of them.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Anthony Eden, who took over after Churchill resigned.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21He was immediately elected afterwards,
0:42:21 > 0:42:22but he did take over very briefly.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Macmillan then took over from Eden.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26You could have had Henry Campbell-Bannerman who took over
0:42:26 > 0:42:29from Balfour. Balfour was also a pointless answer.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Then Asquith succeeded Campbell-Bannerman.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33He was also a pointless answer. Ramsay MacDonald.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Two other pointless answers, David Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40And there's only three of these presidents.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Rutherford B Hayes, Franklin Pierce and James Polk.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46So very well done if you got one of those.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Mark and Georgie,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go home with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:00 > 0:43:01to the test on Pointless.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
