0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25And welcome to Pointless, the show that puts obscure knowledge
0:00:25 > 0:00:27to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33And couple number one.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hello, my name's Stan.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'm from Horsham in West Sussex. And this is my friend
0:00:38 > 0:00:43and colleague, ex-colleague in fact, Adrian from Bromley in Kent.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Sue and this is my husband, Jon,
0:00:47 > 0:00:48and we're from Whalley in Lancashire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- And couple number three. - Hi, I'm Jez.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54This is my friend Steve and we're from Kinver in South Staffordshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- And finally couple number four. - Hi, I'm Sue.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm from Kenilworth. And this is my best friend, Dani,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00and she's from Leamington.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Thanks very much. We'll get to know more about each of you
0:01:06 > 0:01:09throughout the show as it goes along. So, that just leaves one more
0:01:09 > 0:01:12person for me to introduce - a man with a photographic memory.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And I'm thinking specifically of the photo of me
0:01:14 > 0:01:17in the Speedo's on our holiday to Alicante a couple of years ago.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Just thinking about how good Mark was on the last show.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- He was very good.- He was terrific, wasn't he?- Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We saw Steve and Jez got knocked out by Mark and Georgie
0:01:32 > 0:01:35in the head-to-head. It was a good head-to-head.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And then Mark had to name American presidents with a single
0:01:37 > 0:01:40syllable surname. Came up with James Polk as a pointless answer.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42So, that's two jackpots in a row we've given away.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And Stan and Adrian were with us last time as well,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47but only stuck around for one round.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49They had a tough one in that first one,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- but they look like quizzers to me. - I think they do.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- We might see a little bit more of them today. Do you?- Let's hope.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard. All of our questions on Pointless
0:01:57 > 0:01:58have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Today's contestants, of course, like all contestants, are looking for
0:02:02 > 0:02:04a pointless answer, that being answer that none
0:02:04 > 0:02:05of our 100 people gave.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Find a pointless answer, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Mark and Georgie, as you've just heard, won the jackpot last time,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, you just have to remember at all times that the pair with
0:02:24 > 0:02:28the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Our category for the first round today is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36History. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39who's going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41please step up to the podium.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Kings And Queens. Richard. - We're going to show you the names
0:02:51 > 0:02:54of seven monarchs with the years of their reign in brackets.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You need to tell us the country or region they were monarch of.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's going to be seven on the first board, seven on the second.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- 14 to have a go at home. - OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05We want the name of the country or region of which these people were
0:03:05 > 0:03:07monarchs. Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Stan, well, there is a board of monarchs!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, Stan, remind us what you like to get up to.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Well, I work as a volunteer in the local police office.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10It's normally reporting low level, antisocial behaviour,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14or criminal damage. But we did have one person who...
0:04:14 > 0:04:18A little old lady came in with a plastic bag one day...
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- And she pulled a piece! - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Sort of.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Plopped the bag on the desk.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27And fortunately my colleague, who is ex-army, realised that it was
0:04:27 > 0:04:30actually a grenade that some boys had been playing with.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34And my colleague threw a blanket over it and called the bomb
0:04:34 > 0:04:36squad, cleared the area
0:04:36 > 0:04:41and the thing was blown up in the local...near the local church.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Far enough away not to cause any damage.- OK. I see.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Wow, that was exciting. - That's the biggest thing we've had.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48OK, well, that'll do. That'll do.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Anyway, Stan, what of these monarchs?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52What are you going to go for?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Yeah, well, I think I know one.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's a slight chance, but I'm going to
0:04:58 > 0:05:01go for Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03The Netherlands says Stan for Queen Beatrix.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1259.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15APPLAUSE
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yeah, a big score there.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21She once gave Queen Elizabeth II a horse as a gift.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22You have to know someone quite well
0:05:22 > 0:05:24before you give them a horse, don't you?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I hope the Queen didn't look at it in the mouth. That would've been...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - That would have been terrible.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Your kids go to a party, you mustn't...say,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35"Oh, we'll give them a horse." You've got to... That's properly...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Wrapping it up would be a nightmare as well, wouldn't it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Wouldn't it, though?- Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sue.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Sue S, more specifically, welcome to the show.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's great to have you here. What do you do?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I've recently retired as a nursery school head teacher.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51That must've been... Was that a fun job? You must have enjoyed that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It was a really fun job. It was lovely, absolutely lovely playing
0:05:54 > 0:05:56with all the children all the time.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- And how long did you do that for? - I did that for 15 years.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- So, you must miss that.- I do. I miss it, but I've got five grandchildren,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- so I just play with all of them instead.- Yes, yes!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07What do you now fill your time with apart from the grandchildren?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Grandchildren, taking puppies for a walk.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11My two daughters have got two puppies,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- so we go for long walks with the puppies.- Lovely.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Cooking for all the family. And I love killer sudoku.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Excellent. Good stuff.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Now, Sue, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, I'm not very good at dates,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29but I'm hoping that Philip II is Spain.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Spain, Philip II. Sounds right to me. Let's see if it is right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Let's see how many people said it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37It's right.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Well, 59 is our only score so far. You've passed that.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4232.
0:06:45 > 0:06:4732.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Yeah, probably the most successful monarch Spain ever had, Philip.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52The Philippines is named after him, of course.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56He was also in charge of the Armada, which was repelled.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Jez, welcome back.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Jez, remind us what you get up to.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'm an infrared thermographer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Indeed.- I take pictures of buildings to look at energy loss and defects.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09So, what kind of...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Does the equipment for thermography get more and more sophisticated
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- as the years go by?- It gets smaller, which is good.- I bet.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Where would you say looking over here...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Where would you say most of the heat loss was...
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Near Richard, actually.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm always amazed that this isn't hotter.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- I know! That...that...- It's weird.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's almost as if there's no electricity going through it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yeah, almost. Extraordinary.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- What are you going to go for, Jez? - Well, I wanted Philip.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36I really wanted Philip.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Erm, so now I'm going to have to punt for something fairly
0:07:40 > 0:07:42obvious, I think.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Cleopatra VII, I think probably Egypt.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Probably Egypt. Sounds...sounds reasonable enough.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's see, Cleopatra VII, is that Egypt?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56It's right.
0:07:57 > 0:08:0076 for Cleopatra and Egypt.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Yeah, when her father died,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07she became co-regent with her ten-year-old brother.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Sue, Sue G, welcome.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Good to have you here from Warwickshire. From Kenilworth.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Yes.- And what do you get up to up there? What do you do?
0:08:16 > 0:08:22I play racquetball. I'm a member of the local Kenilworth squash club.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Racquetball is what? That's a...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's a bit like squash, but it's a bigger racket and a bigger ball.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30That sounds like squash, but easier. That sounds great.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Yeah, less scary than squash. You've played squash as well?- No.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Oh, no, that's far too scary. - Oh, I see. OK.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Excellent. What are you going to go for on this board?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's all yours if you like. You could talk us through it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I wish I could. I really haven't a clue. The ones I knew have gone.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'm went to have to take a complete punt
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and I'm going to go for Constantine I and say Belgium.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Constantine I, Belgium.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53OK, well, let's find out if Belgium's right,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55and if it is, let's see many people said Belgium.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Ooh, I'm sorry not Belgium. I'm afraid, that scores you 100 points.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04An incorrect answer there, Sue.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, he's Prince Philip's uncle, I'm afraid, King Constantine.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And he was Greece.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Would've scored 33 points.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, we knew him as the Shah really.- Iran.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Iran, yep.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Would have scored you 18. Manuel II, we've already had Spain.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- So, Portugal sounds reasonable.- Yep.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Do you know what? I think I know this one.- Do you?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26He was the... He was a Roger Brooke.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And I have a feeling it's Sarawak.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32It is Sarawak, yes. A pointless answer, too. Very well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Yeah, he worked for the East India Company
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and the Sultan of Brunei gave him sovereignty over Sarawak.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46We're halfway through the round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Let's take a look at the scores and see where we are.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well, the best score of that pass was yours, Sue S.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Very well done. Sue and Jon looking very strong at this stage
0:09:53 > 0:09:55and then up to 59, where we find Stan and Adrian.
0:09:55 > 0:09:5776, Jez and Steve.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And then up to 100, where we find Sue and Dani.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So, Dani, if you found a lovely, low-scoring
0:10:01 > 0:10:04answer on the next board, it could be enough to keep you in the game.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14OK, let's put seven more monarchs up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Dani, remember we're looking for the name of the region or country of
0:11:07 > 0:11:10which these people were monarchs. And you're going to try and find the
0:11:10 > 0:11:12one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Dani, here from Royal Leamington Spa.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16And what do you do?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I work at the college library, Warwickshire College.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Excellent and do you get holidays
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- off or do you work all the way through?- Yes, I do.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I'm term-time only...- Very nice. - ..which is fabulous!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So what do you like to fill that time with?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32I'm in two bands at the moment.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34One called Reykjavik
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and one called It's Mine McGarry, in which I play the mandolin.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm learning the mandolin. I'm not...not very good.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44So one is it sort of...the mandolin tells me it may be a bit more folky,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- a bit more...- Sort of
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- punky folky.- Punky folky. Good. And Reykjavik,
0:11:49 > 0:11:50- what do they play?- Erm,
0:11:50 > 0:11:55very original, somewhere between Radiohead, Pink Floyd-y...
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Excellent.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59OK, now listen, you have a job to do here, Dani.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- I do.- You are currently on 100. We need a lovely, low score from you.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I don't think that's going to happen, unfortunately.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Erm...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09..I know quite...more obvious,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but seeing as we've got 100, I think
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'll take a punt...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17on Hirohito
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and say Japan.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Japan for Hirohito. No red line as you are the high scorers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Japan.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Absolutely right, of course.
0:12:31 > 0:12:3253.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Takes your total up to 153.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Well,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38it might be enough to keep you in.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Yeah, Hirohito, the longest-serving monarch in Japanese history.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now Steve.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Remind us what you do, Steve.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I'm an operations manager for a company that imports
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and sells hardware products.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And when not doing that, Steve, what do you busy yourself with?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I like music gigs, I go ballroom dancing.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I like karaoke and singing, mostly.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Now Steve, you're on 76.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08The high scorers are on 153,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11so 76, in fact, is exactly the score you need.
0:13:11 > 0:13:1376 or less to get you through.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Yeah, I knew Hirohito.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18I know another...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22..one that's... But I don't know whether it will get the right score,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25so I'm going to take a little bit of a punt.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Haile Selassie I,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I think is Ethiopia.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Ethiopia says Steve for Haile Selassie I.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34There is your red line.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Let's see how many people said Ethiopia.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It's right. You are through to the next round. Very well done.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4648.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51124 your total.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Yeah, another good answer. Ethiopia's 225th and last emperor.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- OK, Jon, welcome.- Thank you.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Welcome. What do you do, Jon?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I work in my own outdoor clothing and footwork shop, Alexander.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh, now that's fun. And people who work in outdoor clothing
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and footwear shops run their own businesses, I think, almost
0:14:13 > 0:14:16always cos they have a massive
0:14:16 > 0:14:18interest in the outdoors.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Am I right?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Not really, Alexander.- Really? - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:14:23 > 0:14:25They always seem so knowledgeable.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26They can talk about a breathable sock.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well, my background is
0:14:28 > 0:14:31actually textiles, gun manufacturer,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- so that's where I'm coming from. - I see.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34OK, I see.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So, you sell those lightweight sticks for people to walk with.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39We do actually, yes. Yes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- And breathable socks, of course. - Very breathable socks.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I'm always on the lookout for a breathable sock, Jon.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Next time you're there, Alexander... - A structured, breathable sock.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Free pair of socks next time you come, Alexander.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- You're very welcome.- Next time I'm
0:14:51 > 0:14:54in Lancashire, I'm strai... I'm making a beeline right there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Maybe a pair of boots as well, Alexander.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Wow!- Yeah, and they will fit. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Wow, again. So, Jon, there you are. You're on 32.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05You are through to the next round. Even if you score 100,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08you won't overtake our high scorers. They are on podium four.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What are you going to go for?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm going to go for Malcolm III
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and hope that he was a Scottish king. So Scotland.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Scotland says Jon for Malcolm III.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Sounds good to me. No red line for you as you are already through,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22but let's see how many people said Scotland.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- 18. - APPLAUSE
0:15:33 > 0:15:39Neatly taking your total up to 50, the lowest total of the round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Yeah, he killed Macbeth, of course, and then killed Macbeth's stepson
0:15:42 > 0:15:43- as well to become king.- Yeah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- That guy(!)- I know.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Adrian, welcome back. Tell us about yourself.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51You have retired from your previous job
0:15:51 > 0:15:52working for the Department
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- of Environment...- Right, yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- ..as a statistician.- That's right, yeah, working statistics doing
0:15:57 > 0:15:59The Environment In Your Pocket, a fine publication.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02One should be in every pocket.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Excellent. - A bit of a waste of paper.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Yeah.- Not if it encourages people to save paper in other ways.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Yeah, I suppose it could be recyclable paper.- Yeah.- I guess.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Listen, there you are. You're on 59.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You have to score 93 or less with your answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I think you can do... I hope you can do it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Talk us through the board and fill in all the blanks you can.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Louis XIV, France. Leopold III was King of the Belgians.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30Ivan the Terrible, Russia. And Jigme Singye Wangchuck...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33possibly Thailand, somewhere around there.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34But I will go for Ivan the Terrible,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Russia.- Ivan the Terrible, Russia.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Now, for the first time for a while, we have of red line.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41There it is, it's nice and high.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Let's see if Russia can get you below that red line.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It can and it does.
0:16:49 > 0:16:5156.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53APPLAUSE
0:16:53 > 0:16:55115 is your total.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Well played, Adrian. Yeah, filled in the board pretty nicely as well.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Louis XVI, as you say, France,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05would have scored you 77 points.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Leopold III, as you say, Belgium.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Scored you fewer. Would have scored you 19.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Now Jigme Singye Wangchuck, it is somewhere near.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's not a million miles from Thailand. It's Bhutan.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19He took over Bhutan when he was 16. Would have scored you 1 point.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23And he's...he's helped with democracy in Bhutan and he also was very much
0:17:23 > 0:17:28behind their drive to happiness is a more important thing than economics.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- So gross national happiness is one of his things.- Good man!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33He's married to four women.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36That'll...that'll help, yeah.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38All sisters.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Whoa!- Tell you what, Christmas around Jigme Singye Wangchuck's
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- house must be quite something, mustn't it?- Yeah!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Yeah, Sister Sledge!- Imagine.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53LAUGHING: They formed the Bhutan four-women bobsled team...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57for the last Olympics. ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Sister Sledge. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01So at the end of our first round,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03the pair heading home with a high score of 153 is Dani and Sue.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But the good news is we get to see you again next time. We look forward
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- to that very much indeed. Dani and Sue, thanks so much.- Thank you.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Books. Could you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36who is going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:18:36 > 0:18:37please step up to the podium.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57..as they could. The top-selling autobiographies in the UK. Richard.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Yes, interesting question. We're looking for any of the authors
0:19:00 > 0:19:03of those 50 best-selling autobiographies all the way from 2001
0:19:03 > 0:19:07through to February 2013, please, as according to Nielsen BookScan.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10So any person who's written one of the top 50 best-selling
0:19:10 > 0:19:14autobiographies in that timeframe. Very best of luck.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK, Stan, it's over to you.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24OK.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The one that immediately came to mind is Jordan.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33But I'm not sure whether she still goes under that name.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36But I'm going to have to go for Jordan.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Jordan says Stan. Jordan. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45It's right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:5032.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53APPLAUSE
0:19:53 > 0:19:5632 for Jordan.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Very well played.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Being Jordan was the 18th best-selling autobiography.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Goodness. How many did she sell?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06A lot.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Jon. Yeah, autobiographies.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14I'm...I'm going to go for Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Sir Alex Ferguson, says Jon.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Let's see if that's right,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Ooh!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Ugh! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Jon.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30And that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33No, a huge bestseller, of course, at the end of 2013,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35but this goes up to February 2013, I'm afraid.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41So, it wasn't out, but, yeah, I mean, a runaway, huge, huge bestseller.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Thanks, Richard. Now, Jez.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50There you are. Let that be a lesson to you there. Yes, stops in 2013.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Richard Hammond.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Richard Hammond says Jez.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100
0:20:58 > 0:21:00people said that. Richard Hammond.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02It's correct.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think that's a good answer on the far podium there.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Richard Hammond is a pointless answer!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Very well done indeed!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17which takes the total up to £1,250.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23It's... Absolutely nothing. Jez, well done. Richard Hammond.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25That's a good answer.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28That's a terrific answer. Yeah, On The Edge - My Story, he wrote.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It was just after his near fatal accident as well. He said there's
0:21:30 > 0:21:33only one difference between himself before the accident and after the
0:21:33 > 0:21:36accident. He says there's literally only one difference,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and that's he now likes celery.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Said everything else stayed the same.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the
0:21:44 > 0:21:47round. Let's take a look at those scores. Jez, well done!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48That's a fantastic score.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Steve, you've got to be pleased with that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I would say that's pretty much a free pass through to the next round
0:21:54 > 0:21:56because we then go up to 32,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Stan and Adrian, and then up to 100,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Jon and Sue.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You never know, Sue. There's a world in which you could get through
0:22:03 > 0:22:06to the head-to-head, but it would involve Adrian making a mistake
0:22:06 > 0:22:07and you scoring less than 32.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09So, yeah, good luck with that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17OK. Steve, remember we're looking
0:22:17 > 0:22:18for the name of anyone who's
0:22:18 > 0:22:21written one of the top 50 best-selling autobiographies
0:22:21 > 0:22:24between 2001 and 2013.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Erm, it's quite a difficult one cos at times I like my sports,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32but again, whether they fit into those years...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, I think I'm going to play it a little bit safe,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I might be proved completely wrong.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38And say Stephen Fry.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Stephen Fry, says Steve. Stephen Fry.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43OK. There is your red line.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46All you have to be, I would suggest, is correct.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Let's find out if you are. Stephen Fry.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's right. Very well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It's another lovely low score.
0:22:57 > 0:22:594. Very well done, Steve.
0:23:02 > 0:23:054 for Stephen Fry, taking your total up to 4.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Very good play on that last podium.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yeah, his terrific book - The Fry Chronicles,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11one of the best-selling autobiographies.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- OK, Sue. Sue...- Yeah.- ..now then.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17As I said, it is possible.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It is possible that you might get through to the head-to-head,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23but we need a very low-scoring answer from you.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Well, I don't read many autobiographies,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28but I did read this one. So I'm hoping she's in the top 50.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Dawn French.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Dawn French, says Sue. No red line as you are the high scorers,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36but let's see how many of our 100 people said Dawn French.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39It's right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Well...
0:23:45 > 0:23:4612.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- You've done your side of the bargain, Sue.- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53112 is your total.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Yeah, Dear Fatty, the sixth highest selling autobiography in that time.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Goodness! Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Adrian.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Adrian. The high scorers, Jon and Sue on 112,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10so 79 or less sees you through.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Erm, I'm trying to think of some sporty ones.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Seb Coe had one, whether that's high enough, I don't know.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Clare Balding had a fairly popular one.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- I'll go for Clare Balding. - Clare Balding, says Adrian.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27There's your red line. If Clare Balding gets you below that red
0:24:27 > 0:24:28line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Let's find out how many people said Clare Balding.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Ooh, interesting.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44That, I'm afraid, is a wrong answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Sue and Jon, you're going to... Stop grinning so much.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:24:48 > 0:24:50We'll come around to the good bits in a minute.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54We have to dwell on the more sombre elements of this outcome.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- JON:- Sorry, chaps.- That scores you 100 points. I'm really sorry.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Takes you up to 132.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01We will discover why that is a wrong answer.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Well, again, not in the top 50. I mean, it was released in 2012,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06but perhaps hadn't had enough time to generate enough sales.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I imagine it would be in there if they did the list again.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11There's quite a few pointless answers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Alice Sebold wrote Lucky, an autobiography. That was in the list.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Bill Bryson. Chris Moyles is on the list at number 49.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24George Best you could've had.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Jennifer Worth, John Peel. Sheila Ravenscroft, his wife,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29who wrote the book as well.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31She was a pointless answer, too.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Kate Adie. There's Richard Hammond and Sheila Hancock,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36who wrote about her life with John Thaw.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'll tell you a few of the smaller scores. You would've got 1 point
0:25:39 > 0:25:42for Robbie Williams, Gordon Ramsay, Alan Bennett and Ant & Dec.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Both would have scored you 1.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Keith Richards, Michael Parkinson, both scored 1 as well.
0:25:47 > 0:25:512 points for Lance Armstrong, Jade Goody and Frank Skinner.
0:25:51 > 0:25:543 points for Julie Walters and 4 for Alan Carr and Michael McIntyre.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58At the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair
0:25:58 > 0:26:01who are heading home with a high score of 132, Adrian and Stan.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Do you know, I was thinking of Clare Balding all the way through
0:26:03 > 0:26:06that round, thinking, "I wonder if anyone is going to say her?"
0:26:06 > 0:26:09And it was a good answer. I'm really sorry. I thought you were set
0:26:09 > 0:26:12fair for a place in the head-to-head and maybe beyond,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye. Adrian and Stan,
0:26:15 > 0:26:16thanks very much for playing.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20But for Steve and Jez, and Jon and Sue,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Congratulations, Steve and Jez, Jon and Sue.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34which currently stands at...
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Now we have to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40To do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43The difference is you can confer before you give your answers.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, Steve and Jez, you are back.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52You weren't our low-scoring pair last time, but this time...oh, yes!
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Very good. And Jon and Sue, some great play there.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- A little bit lucky...- Yes.- Very lucky.- ..in that last round.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03But I did say... I said there was a world in which it could happen, Sue.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04- You did.- Welcome to that world. - Thank you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yep, celebrity moustaches. Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26We're going to show you five pictures now of celebrities
0:27:26 > 0:27:28with moustaches, can you identify them?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The celebrity, not the moustache.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Let's reveal our five moustaches, and here they are. We have...
0:27:51 > 0:27:52There we are.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Five celebrities with moustaches.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Steve and Jez, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:58 > 0:27:59so you will go first.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:28:04 > 0:28:07He's seen better days,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09but we're going to go for E - Simon Le Bon.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Simon Le Bon. E - Simon Le Bon, you say. I don't know if it's right.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Simon Le Bon. Now, Jon and Sue, talk us through the board.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I wish we could. I only...I only know Tom Hanks,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25which I think is going to be very high.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27But Jon hopes he knows D.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Yeah, I hope that D
0:28:29 > 0:28:30is Joey Barton, the footballer.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Joey Barton say Jon and Sue. Joey Barton.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35So, we have Simon Le Bon versus Joey Barton.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Steve and Jez said Simon Le Bon. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Let's see how many people said that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43It's right.
0:28:48 > 0:28:4923.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Jon and Sue have gone for Joey Barton, who they think is D.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Let's see if that's right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02And if it is, let's see how many people said Joey Barton.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05It's right.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12And it wins the point for you. Very well done. Joey Barton down to 11.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Good work, Jon and Sue.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18And after only one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Two good answers there. Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24A is the actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, married to
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Sam Taylor-Wood, the artist. Would have scored you five points.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33B is Tom Hanks, but a big scorer, as you suspected.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Would have scored you 85.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40And full marks for trying there, C...that moustache.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43It's a very young, Adam Woodyatt. Ian Beale from EastEnders.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Is that really a moustache or did he just not shave?- Would've scored 37.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I think it's a deliberate... Given that there's nothing else,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- I think it's a deliberate attempt at having a moustache.- Right.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Steve and Jez, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59So best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Martin Scorsese. Richard.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07We're going to show you five clues now to facts
0:30:07 > 0:30:08about film director Martin Scorsese.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come. We've got...
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Now then, Jon and Sue, you will go first.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, it's very easy for us
0:30:59 > 0:31:02because we only can guess at one.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03So we are going to guess at it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06And we hope that Michael Jackson,
0:31:06 > 0:31:07the video was Thriller.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12OK. Jon and Sue. Jon and Sue say Thriller.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Steve and Jez, talk us to the board if you can.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16The one we are going to go for,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18we both knew,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20but Jez probably knows a few more.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I think the band is the Rolling Stones.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I think it's Jim Cavaziel
0:31:26 > 0:31:28that was the Jesus.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It's Robert De Niro the bottom one,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Rupert Pupkin in The King Of Comedy.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But we think the voice of Sykes...
0:31:34 > 0:31:36He was in Shark Tale.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Was the voice of Sykes, you're saying Shark Tale.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Shark Tale, OK.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45So, we have Thriller versus Shark Tale.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Jon and Sue said Thriller, let's see if that's right.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53No!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Not a correct answer, I'm afraid, which means Steve and Jez,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58you merely have to be right with Shark Tale and you will win
0:31:58 > 0:31:59the point and be back in the game.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Yep, well done.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Come on, come on!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Wow, look at that! 1.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13That's a great answer, Steve and Jez.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19The point is yours, you're back in. After two questions, it's one all.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22You got a few of the others right as well, but that's the best answer
0:32:22 > 0:32:25up there. You're right about the Shine A Light documentary.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28It's the Rolling Stones. Would've scored you 10 points.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31But The Last Temptation Of Christ was Willem Dafoe.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Would have scored you 7 points.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now the video...
0:32:35 > 0:32:37John Landis directed Thriller
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and Martin Scorsese directed Bad.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Would've scored you 15. And you're right about Robert De Niro.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47And he would have scored you...
0:32:47 > 0:32:5011 points. So, you knew three of them and you picked the right one.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes the decider.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Whoever wins this third question goes through to the final
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Iron Maiden. Richard.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Yeah, we're going to show you the titles of five Iron Maiden
0:33:07 > 0:33:09top 40 hits now, but we've removed one word from each.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Can you fill in those words?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five Iron Maiden top 40 hits,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16and here they come.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17We've got...
0:33:26 > 0:33:27I'll read them one last time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Steve and Jez will go first.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Can I Play With Madness... - HE WHISPERS INCOHERENTLY
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I think we're going to go with Can I Play With Madness.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Can I Play With Madness.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Can I Play With Madness.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57OK, Jon and Sue, talk us through the board if you can.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Well, we haven't got a clue on any of them.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- Sue has had a couple of guesses. - Total guesses, but...
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Go on, what were your guesses? - Oh, no.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- So, on the basis that it's pretty disgusting...- And it rhymes.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.- It rhymes.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18OK. Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20So, Steve and Jez have said Can I Play With Madness.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Let's see if that's right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's right. Can I Play With Madness.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That's a good score. 14.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Jon and Sue meanwhile have gone for
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Let's see if that's right.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's right.
0:34:53 > 0:34:5455.
0:34:56 > 0:34:5955, well done. Steve and Jez, after three questions,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01you're through to the final 2-1.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Yep, Iron Maiden's only number one hit,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
0:35:05 > 0:35:11Their other biggest hit, Run To The Hills, would have scored you 44.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You could've had a good guess at the top one. Simply the...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Number.- ..The Number Of The Beast.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18That would've scored you 25.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22And this bottom one's a pointless answer. I mean, guess anything.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- STAMMERS:- Game And The Gambler.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Oh, it's not. It's The Angel And The Gambler. So, very well done
0:35:28 > 0:35:31if you knew that at home. It's the only one up there
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- that's not a top-ten hit actually. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:36 > 0:35:37I'm afraid, Jon and Sue.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, you've done incredibly well.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Your first appearance on Pointless...- And we can come back!
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Exactly. Took the words out of my mouth.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We get to see you again, which is marvellous news.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48We look forward to that very much. But in the meantime,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- thanks very much for playing. Jon and Sue.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But for Steve and Jez, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Congratulations, Steve and Jez. You've seen off all the competition
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Well, you see that £250 up there, Jez? That was yours.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24That was all yours. Richard Hammond.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Good answer. OK, well, as you know, you get to choose your category.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I say CHOOSE your category -
0:36:29 > 0:36:31we give you four, but one of them
0:36:31 > 0:36:35let's hope will be close to one of your areas of expertise.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Here are the four categories. They are...
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Jez's knowledge of action directors
0:36:49 > 0:36:51and directors and films is very good.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53But Crime Writers might be all right.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57But I think we'd both stand a better chance with Action Directors.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Yeah, so.- Yeah.- OK, Action Directors, it is. Rich.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03OK, we are looking for any feature film made for cinema release up
0:37:03 > 0:37:07to the beginning of 2014 directed by any of the following three, please.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Any films directed by Wolfgang Petersen,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13any films directed by John McTiernan
0:37:13 > 0:37:16or any films directed by Tony Scott.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19So any feature film made for cinema release for which any of those
0:37:19 > 0:37:22three directors have received a directing credit according to IMDb.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Very best of luck.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Thanks very much indeed. So, as always,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:31 > 0:37:33to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Your time starts now.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41OK, John McTiernan did a lot
0:37:41 > 0:37:42of the Die Hard films.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45That was the only bit...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Tony Scott is Ridley Scott's brother,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and I think he did Deja Vu with Denzel Washington, which I think...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Another film, but OK.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- The other John McTiernan was Commando, I think.- OK.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00And I don't know anything
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- by Wolfgang Petersen.- Nor me.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- So, Die...- Those three.- We can...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- One of the Die Hards.- Which Die Hard though, one, two or three?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- With A Vengeance. Was that the last? - That was the last one.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Well, no, it wasn't the last one. He did the first three, I think.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- So...- What was the very last one?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Which was it?
0:38:19 > 0:38:24It was 4.0 and then there's the awful 5 one. And then...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I think he did the first three.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- So...- OK, one, two or three?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Ten seconds left.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Two would be better.- OK.- But I can't remember what it's called. Die Hard.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Die Harder.- Die Harder.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40OK, that's your time up.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Let's have your three answers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- For Tony Scott, Deja Vu.- Deja Vu.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48For John McTiernan, I think we're going to go with...
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Die Hard 2: Die Harder.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Die Hard 2: Die Harder.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Do you want to go with another Die Hard?- Yeah.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- You don't want to go with the Commando.- Don't know anything...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Commando?- Yeah, go at that. - Commando.- And Commando.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03OK, now of those three, which is your best shot at
0:39:03 > 0:39:05a pointless answer, do you think?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- I think Deja Vu.- Deja Vu, we will pop last.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- It would be the Die Hard. Die Hard 2.- OK, Die Hard 2.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and here they are.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17We have got...
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Well, very best of luck.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Three good answers up on the board. Your first answer was
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Die Hard 2: Die Harder.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29This is the one you thought was probably least likely to be
0:39:29 > 0:39:32pointless, but only one of them has to be pointless for you
0:39:32 > 0:39:34to win the jackpot. £1,250 quid, not bad.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37What would you do with that, Steve?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40We plan to have a pointless party...
0:39:40 > 0:39:44And I'll play you, Xander, and Jez will play Richard...
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Yeah, good luck(!)- Yeah.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50The trophy won't be up for grabs. Nor cash, funnily enough, but, yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- That's what we will do. - OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Let's find out. Your first answer Die Hard 2 - Die Harder.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59In this case, we were looking for John McTiernan films.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Let's find out if it's right.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Let's find out if it's pointless for £1,250.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Ooh!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Your next answer was Commando.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Again we were looking for films directed by John McTiernan.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win the
0:40:20 > 0:40:25jackpot for £1,250. Let's see how many people said Commando.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Ooh! Oh-ho-ho!
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Oh, I'm sorry. I'm afraid another incorrect answer,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42which is Deja Vu. And in this case, we were looking for films
0:40:42 > 0:40:45directed by Tony Scott.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46This has got to be correct, surely.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So, for £1,250, let's find out how many people said Deja Vu.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Was it pointless?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's right.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Phew, your first answer Die Hard 2 -
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Die Harder was incorrect.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Your second answer, Commando, was incorrect.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10But your third answer, Deja Vu, now going down to the single figures.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Down it goes to... Oh, one!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13AUDIENCE GROANS AND APPLAUDS
0:41:13 > 0:41:14No.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Oh, guys, I am so sorry.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25That is so cruel. Two incorrect answers and then a 1 pointer.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:27 > 0:41:28that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31which means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33That will roll over onto the next show. But we've really enjoyed
0:41:33 > 0:41:36having you on, not just this show, but the other you were on as well.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Great performance right across both shows. And you get a Pointless
0:41:39 > 0:41:43trophy to take home to show for it. So, very, very well done.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Unlucky, gents. You were absolutely thinking
0:41:51 > 0:41:54on the right lines with John McTiernan, and he did Die Hard,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57which would have scored you 7 points and he did Die Hard With A Vengeance,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00which would have scored you 1 point. But Die Hard 2 was Renny Harlin,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03that was his film. And Commando was Mark Lester.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Deja Vu, I haven't seen, though. I sort of feel like I have.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08LAUGHTER
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Let's... Thank you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Let's start with Wolfgang Petersen.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Enemy Mine, Outbreak, the Dustin Hoffman movie would have been
0:42:17 > 0:42:20a very good answer there. Shattered, The Consequence also.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22One Or The Other also would have been a pointless answer there.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Let's take a look at John McTiernan.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Last Action Hero would have been a terrific answer. Predator as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Rollerball, made the remake of that. Hunt For Red October.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Some big films up there also. The Thomas Crown Affair,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35his remake of that would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38And Tony Scott, some big films here as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Beverly Hills Cop II, the De Niro film The Fan.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44The Last Boy Scout, Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, terrific film.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47And his remake of The Taking Of Pelham 123.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48All of those pointless answers.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Well, thanks. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Steve and Jez,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56but it's been fantastic having you on the show.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58You've been just brilliant in both shows, as I say.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Thank you so much for playing. Steve and Jez, great contestants.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03BOTH: Thanks very much.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08But sadly, they didn't win the jackpot today, which means it
0:43:08 > 0:43:12rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16Join us then. See if someone can win it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye.
