0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thanks very much, indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Pointless, the show where we are always striving to find
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, I'm Michelle. This is my husband, Angus.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- We're from Bedford. - Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41My name's Katie, this is my father, Derek,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and we're from Worthing in West Sussex.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- Couple number three.- My name's Alex, this is my brother Mathew,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- and we're from Cwmbran in South Wales.- Hello.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51I'm Suzanne from the Wirral.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54This is my friend Zizzy, originally from Telford and now lives in Liverpool.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05He brings the facts in the studios
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and brings the ruckus on the dance floor -
0:01:07 > 0:01:10it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hiya.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hi, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I certainly do bring the ruckus on the dance floor.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- You do, don't you?- Course I do.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- And how are you this afternoon? - I am really very well.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22It should be a fun show.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Two returners from last time -
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Angus and Michelle were very, very good last time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And Katie and Derek back again, as well. Also did rather well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Unlucky to get knocked out.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Katie made Maria Sharapova...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- I think, was it 41 years older than she actually is?- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Something like that. She's been on. She's been complaining, I'm afraid.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Erm... Very good. Thanks very much indeed.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:01:48 > 0:01:50those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:01:52 > 0:01:54that being one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Whenever that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, Brian and Lee didn't win the jackpot,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02so we add another £1,000 and today's jackpot starts off
0:02:02 > 0:02:04at £2,000.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Now, remember, at all times, the pair with highest score will be
0:02:16 > 0:02:18eliminated at the end of each round
0:02:18 > 0:02:21so do everything you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Best of luck. Our first category today is...
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Numbers.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:29 > 0:02:31who's going to go first and who'll go second?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Numerical values. This is just different words for maths, isn't it?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Do you know, it's not a maths round, actually.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Instead, we're giving seven clues on each pass and the answer to each is a number.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So the answer to every question in this round is a number.
0:02:57 > 0:02:5914 in all, so have a go at home.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I cannot confirm or deny whether 14 will be one of the numbers.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- You never know.- OK. You never do.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- You never do know.- There are plenty of numbers out there, aren't there?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- There are...- I think I've read that. - Hold on one second.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There are over a million numbers out there!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Thanks very much, indeed.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18OK, so remember we're looking for the answers to these clues,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21and they're all numerical values. Here they go.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Seven on the first board.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02There we go. Angus? Welcome back.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Remind us what you do, Angus.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm a warehouse operative.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But you're very keen on the greyhounds.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Very keen, yeah. Twice a week I go to my local track at Henlow.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Got quite a few friends there,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16so it's a good social event
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and with a bit of luck you win a few quid, which is quite handy.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's a good evening. You don't have to wait long for the races.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23About quarter of an hour, isn't it, between them?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes, quick and fast and very entertaining for people.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Excellent. Angus, what are you going to go for?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Interesting... I think I know two.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think I'm going to go number of times Manchester United won
0:04:37 > 0:04:40the FA Cup up to 2014... I believe that's nine.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41OK, nine, says Angus.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Let's see if that's right, for Manchester United.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Let's see how many people said nine.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, bad luck, Angus.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm afraid an incorrect answer
0:04:52 > 0:04:54scores you 100 points.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yeah, sorry, Angus. A risky one to go for there.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59But, nine IS a number, so...
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Well, that's good, isn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- That is good.- Yeah...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04So, wrong but... Kind of right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Katie.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Welcome to the show. Katie, remind us what you do.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I am a secondary school drama teacher.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Now, as drama teacher, are you allowed to decide
0:05:13 > 0:05:15what productions you put on?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Yes.- What will you do next? You did Guys And Dolls last time...?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Oh, that would be telling, wouldn't it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- We've written a musical, you could do that.- Yes!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- You have?- BOTH: Yeah! - The Pointless Musical.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- It's got some good numbers in it. - SOME LAUGHTER
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- I can imagine. Yep.- It's got
0:05:29 > 0:05:34By Country I Mean A Sovereign State That's A Member Of The UN In Its Own Right.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- That's an excellent song!- Yeah. - Really good.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38HE HUMS A TUNE
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Oh, I've got it now! - How would I cast the two of you?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Well, I would have maybe two Year 9s on each other's shoulders for me.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Got to get someone who can get that right catch in their voice
0:05:49 > 0:05:53when they sing It's Goodbye From Me, Goodbye.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- That's...- Hmm. - It's a sad song, that one.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Hard.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Anyway, anyway... Let's get on with the... on with the...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01the show.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Katie, what do you make of this board?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Right, so there's a couple that I know for definite.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10And there are a couple that I think I could work out.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11And I'm going to go with
0:06:11 > 0:06:14total number of individual black and white squares on a chess board
0:06:14 > 0:06:15and go with 64.
0:06:15 > 0:06:1864, OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20How many of our 100 people said that?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23It's right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:2748!
0:06:30 > 0:06:3148 for 64.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Very good. Deep Blue became the first computer ever
0:06:35 > 0:06:37to win a match against a reigning world champion
0:06:37 > 0:06:39when it beat Garry Kasparov.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Actually, it had six matches against him and lost 4-2,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43but it did beat him.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44The first computer ever to do it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Erm... Mathew.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Welcome to Pointless. What you do, Mathew?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I'm an engineering manager.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, pretty much just sit around drinking tea all day,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55dishing out the work.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58OK. Kind of tea? What kind of tea do you prefer?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'm quite partial to an Earl Grey.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Are you?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04And what do you do when you're not making tea?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I go to the gym.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Though it's getting harder the older I get.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You DO go to the gym, Mathew! Look at that!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11That's doughnuts.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Wouldn't it be great if they could invent a doughnut that made you look hench.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Brilliant, wouldn't it? - A hench doughnut.- Am I hench, am I?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I think that's the word. Yes. - Is that good?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I think it's a good thing.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25All right, now then, Mathew - Numbers.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Right. I was going to go for the chess board,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29but it was stolen away from me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Erm... I'm going to have bash at the snooker table one...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and go for 21.
0:07:35 > 0:07:3721, says Mathew. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and if it is, how many of our 100 people said 21.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44No!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50I'm afraid that scores you 100 points. But you're in good company. Good company.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Unlucky. I know the mistake you made there, as I'm sure you do, as well.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'll give you the answer at the end of the pass.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Now, then, Suzanne.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Welcome to the show. What do you do, Suzanne?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I am a customer service assistant
0:08:03 > 0:08:06in a role closely resembling that of a librarian.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08HE LAUGHS
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- In a library. - Yes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And the service is sort of book-related,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Dewey decimal, kind of, oriented stuff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What do you do when you are not advising customers?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Swotting up for Pointless.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Great place to work! If that's your aim.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- Yeah.- Perfect. Now, then.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Suzanne, you're the last person to have this Numbers board.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I don't know the football one.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I don't know the nonagon, but I'd guess nine, which is probably wrong.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Number of months..? Could be 120.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The carats in pure gold...
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Could be 32?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And the number of degrees in a right angle is 90.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50BUT...this might be my only chance
0:08:50 > 0:08:52to ever get a sport question right -
0:08:52 > 0:08:54so I'm going for snooker.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Which I'd decided before the 100 was scored,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and as you need a cue ball to hit any of the colours,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'm going to guess at 22, please.
0:09:02 > 0:09:0422, says Suzanne.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0622... Let's see if that's right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Let's see how many people said it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's absolutely right. Very well done, indeed.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Very good - 20!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The best score of the round so far, Suzanne. Very well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Well played, Suzanne.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Driving the knife into Mathew, there, though, wasn't it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29He knew exactly what he'd done.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32There's 21 balls, and the cue ball makes 22.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33So, very good answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Manchester United haven't only won it nine times, they won it 11 times,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42up to 2014, scoring 3 points.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44You'd have been right to say nine sides to a nonagon.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47That would have scored you 69 points.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Number of months in a decade, you're right, just 10 times 12,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52120, would have scored you 74.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56The number of carats in pure gold is 24.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That would score you 44 - these numbers are confusing me.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And the number of degrees in a right angle is 90.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And that would've scored 82.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07So almost impossible to work out what the best answer is.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It is the number of times Man United have won the FA Cup.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Thanks very much. Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Very well done, Suzanne.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17You and Zizzy got the low score there.
0:10:17 > 0:10:1920, then up to 48, where we find Katie and Derek.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Then it's up to 100, where we find Angus and Michelle,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and Mathew and Alex.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So, yes, it's Alex versus Michelle
0:10:25 > 0:10:28in this next pass.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37OK, let's put seven more numerical clues on the board,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and here they come. We have got...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Now, there we are. Zizzy, remember,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14we are looking for answers to these clues that are all numbers.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18You're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Zizzy, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.- Thanks.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21What do you do?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm a financial administrator in a children's nursery.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'm numerically dyslexic and scared of children,
0:11:27 > 0:11:28so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing there!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- LAUGHTER - Maybe do something else?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- You would think so! - What would you like to do?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35What would be your dream job? What do you love doing?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I like painting. I paint animals and things like that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40That's good, you could do that.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The world is your oyster.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Any kids watching at home, don't paint your animals.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47LAUGHTER
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Now then, Zizzy, what about this board?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Erm...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I'm going to go with number of ounces in a pound,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00but I'm hoping I'm not confusing number of pounds in a stone.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I think there are 16 ounces in a pound.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK, let's find out.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0816 ounces in a pound, says Zizzy. There is your red line.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09If you get below that,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11you're definitely in the next round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Let's see if 16 is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Absolutely right.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20And you're in the next round. Very well done. 57.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- APPLAUSE - 77, your total.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Very well played, Zizzy. Safely through there on podium four.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31OK, now then, Alex. What do you do, Alex?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm an electrical fitter, I work for a transmission company.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37OK, and you and Mathew are brothers. Who's the older one?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39LAUGHTER
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Obviously, Mathew. - Well, you say "obviously".
0:12:43 > 0:12:44I mean, I-I... You-You could both be...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- You both look very young, is what I'm saying.- Thank you.- Very young.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Now then, so, Alex, numbers.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51How are we feeling about the numbers behind me?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53There's a few I could have a stab at.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I was going to go with ounces in a pound.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I think what I'll go for is maximum number of players
0:13:00 > 0:13:03on the court in each basketball team, and I'm going to go for five.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Five, says Alex. Let's see that's right.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Now, you are joint high scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Just have to hope this goes a long way down the board.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14How many players are there? Let's discover how many people said it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16It's right.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Down it goes. Still going down.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Still going down - 10. - APPLAUSE
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Chosen very well there, Alex. Takes your total up to 110.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yeah, good answer. Given yourself a chance there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It was originally conceived as a way to condition athletes
0:13:33 > 0:13:35during the winter months, basketball.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The average height of people in the NBA in the States is 6'7.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39The AVERAGE height.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- You'd fit right in there. - I would be average, yeah.- Average.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Derek.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Derek, welcome back to Pointless.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Good to have you here.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- You work in insurance. - That's correct.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55What do you get up to to take your mind off insurance?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Maybe you don't like to - maybe you like to keep it on insurance all the time.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I take every opportunity to get my mind off insurance,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04both in and out of working hours.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I am in fact retiring from insurance this month.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Oh, that's going to be quite fun, isn't it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Have you got big plans for your retirement?- Ah, yes.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I play the drums and I want to work a bit more on that and try
0:14:16 > 0:14:17and get a bit better.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I want to learn to read music properly and various,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24you know, fun things for retirement.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25How many drum kits have you got?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I've told my wife about two of them.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Right! So, the other seven...?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The other seven, yeah, I keep them hidden in the corner of the garage.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Ha! Erm, OK, you're on 48, the high scorers on 110 at the moment
0:14:37 > 0:14:39are Alex and Mathew.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So, 61 or less sees you through.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47I'm going to have a go at the number of yards in a mile as 1,760.
0:14:47 > 0:14:511,760. That's a great answer.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52I hope - sounds good, anyway.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Let's see if it's right. Here's your red line.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It is right.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You are in Round Two, unsurprisingly,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03with that kind of an answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Down it goes, 23.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08APPLAUSE
0:15:08 > 0:15:1023 takes your total up to 71.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15And while we're on numbers, 23 compared to 10 for the basketball...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'd have thought the yards in a mile would have been...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's one of those questions, isn't it, where everybody over
0:15:21 > 0:15:23a certain age, that's an easy question, simple question.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Everyone under certain age, it is absolutely impossible.
0:15:26 > 0:15:301,760 is the sort of thing you would never forget, unless you've
0:15:30 > 0:15:33never been taught it, in which case, you would never find it out.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Michelle.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Right, we have a contest on our hands.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43OK, 110. Alex and Mathew, you're on 100. You have to score 9 or less.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- You were head-to-headers last time. - Yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It can't be head-to-head to Round One. Talk us through the board.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, I think I know two of them
0:15:50 > 0:15:53but I think they're going to be too high.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57The number of cards in a standard playing pack is 52.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I think I'm going to go for number of US cents in a dime...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03and go ten.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06You're going to say ten cents in a dime.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Have to score 9 or less. There's your red line.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Let's see if you can do it. Ten cents in a dime. Is that right?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14How many people said it if it is?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17It's right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Ohh, 48!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'm sorry, Michelle. 48 is a big score.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Takes your total up to 148.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Sorry, Michelle, that's tough luck.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34It's only the teeth that would have saved you there. The premolars.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36If you'd like to have a guess on that, what would you go for?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'd have said 26, but I think that's far too high.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42If you've got that many premolars, you need to go and see a dentist immediately.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It's eight, is the answer, and would have scored you 7 points.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Number of pints in a gallon - that's also eight.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Would have scored you more points.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Would've scored you 54.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55And you knew the playing cards. It's 52, but a very big score.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It wouldn't have saved you - 80 points.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, the best answer up there is the premolars.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Thanks very much indeed. At the end of our first round,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05the pair heading home, with a high score of 148,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06semifinalists last time,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I'm afraid it's Round One this time. I am so sorry.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yes, Angus, it was Manchester United that did that to you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Take it up with them!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Anyway, meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Michelle and Angus, great contestants.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21APPLAUSE
0:17:21 > 0:17:25But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Now we're down to three pairs.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Obviously, at the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to
0:17:33 > 0:17:35another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category today is...
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Pop Music.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Do you want to go first?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04..as they could.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The acts who released the biggest-selling albums of 2013, Richard.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Yeah, we're looking for the name of any artist or group who had
0:18:10 > 0:18:14one of the top 40 bestselling albums in the UK charts in 2013.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So, any act who released one of those 40 albums, please.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20That's according to the Official Charts Company.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Thanks very much indeed. Now, Katie.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27So it's the top-selling albums of 2013. Who released them?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I've got a name in my head.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- I've got an answer, but I don't have a plethora to choose from.- OK.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39So, erm, I'm just going to go with the one that's popped up first
0:18:39 > 0:18:41in my head and I'm going to go with Daft Punk.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Daft Punk, says Katie. Daft Punk.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Good answer.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Very good answer.
0:18:55 > 0:18:569 for Daft Punk.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58APPLAUSE
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Well played, Katie.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08The album Random Access Memories, the 16th bestselling album of 2013, by Daft Punk.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Thanks very much indeed. Alex.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I've got a few bouncing around in my head.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Er, I think what I'm going to go for is Lorde.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Lorde. Lorde, says Alex. Let's see if that's right
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Ooh, no!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Yeah, had a huge hit in the singles charts with Royals, of course,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39but in 2013 itself, I'm afraid, not one of the top 40 bestsellers.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45OK, Suzanne. The top-selling albums of 2013. Who released them?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47SHE SIGHS
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I'm not good on current stuff, I'm afraid.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52So I apologise to Zizzy
0:19:52 > 0:19:55if I make a right nincompoop of myself and get 100.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I'm trying to think of CDs I bought last year,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and I think I bought one for Mum.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Rod Stewart.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Let's find out. Rod Stewart, could be right. Let's see.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Rod Stewart, how many people said that?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's right!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's right, Suzanne!
0:20:18 > 0:20:203.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21APPLAUSE
0:20:21 > 0:20:23There you are.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Best score of the round so far. Good answer.- Terrific answer, yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31His album, Time, actually the seventh biggest-selling album of the year.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34A huge hit. His first album to hit number one since 1979.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37My favourite album now!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Thanks very much. Let's look at the scores. Halfway through the round.
0:20:40 > 0:20:413, Suzanne,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43very much the best score of that pass.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Then up to 9, where we find Katie and Derek.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Then it's a bit of a hike up to 100, where we find Alex and Mathew.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah, Mathew, whatever happens, we need a good answer from you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55And we have to hope it's enough to keep you in the game.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Got a bit of a mountain to climb, but best of luck.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05OK, now, Zizzy, we're looking for the name of any artist who
0:21:05 > 0:21:08released one of the biggest-selling albums of 2013.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You have been put in such a sweet spot by Suzanne.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13There you are on 3.
0:21:13 > 0:21:1796 or less sees you through comfortably.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21OK. Thank you for giving me a chance to play safe.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'm going to go...Robbie Williams.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Robbie Williams, sounds good to me. Let's see. Here's your red line.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30How many people said Robbie Williams? Is it right?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It is right. And you're through to the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41That's a fabulous answer.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Look at that - 5! Takes your total up to 8.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well played, Zizzy. Safe again on that last podium.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The fourth biggest-selling album of the year, Swings Both Ways.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It was his 11th number one album.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Mathew.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Quite a high score there from Alex.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Right...
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Got a few that I can think of,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07but I can't really think of them being low scorers.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09But I'm going to have a bash.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm going to go with Little Mix.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Little Mix, says Mathew. Little Mix.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15No red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18but let's see how many people said Little Mix, if it's right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Oh!
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Oh! I'm afraid, no Little Mix on that list.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You score the maximum of 100 points again,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31which takes your total up to 200.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If you're going to go out, that's the way to do it.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Again, a perfectly good answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Had hit singles in that year but not one of the top 40 bestselling albums.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41But it's nice as brothers that they both got through Round One together
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and now you can go home on the train or whatever
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and no-one can blame anyone else. LAUGHTER
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And, you know, Pointless salutes risk-takers,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and that's what you have to do. So, yeah, it's the right spirit.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Now, Derek, I have good news for you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You're in the head-to-head round. What are you going to go for?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Well, I'm going to go for an old-timer, a bit like myself.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05But he's had a bit of a resurgence. David Bowie.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Oh, yes. David Bowie, David Bow-ie, David Bowie.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10No red line as you're through, but let's see if it's right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12David Bowie.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Absolutely right. That's a great answer, Derek.
0:23:22 > 0:23:246. Very well done indeed.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25APPLAUSE
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Up to 15.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Great answer, and a great album as well.- It is a great album.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Terrific work, Derek, well played.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yeah, that was his ninth number one album, which means David Bowie
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- has had two fewer number one albums than Robbie Williams.- Interesting.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now, there's lots of answers, there's a few pointless answers.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I'll take you through the low scorers before we do the pointless ones.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You'd have got 5 points for Ellie Goulding and Bastille.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You'd have got 4 points for Michael Buble,
0:23:49 > 0:23:504 points for Justin Timberlake.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You'd have got 4 points for Gary Barlow as well.
0:23:52 > 0:23:563 points for Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg, Bruno Mars, Pink.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59You'd have got 2 points for Eminem and Mumford & Sons.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03You'd have got 1 for James Blunt, for Biffy Clyro, for Imagine Dragons,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Calvin Harris, Stereophonics and Disclosure.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11All of these would have added money to the jackpot.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Well done at home if you said Celine Dion.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Elvis Presley, James Arthur.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Kings Of Leon would've been a pointless answer,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20their Mechanical Bull album.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23London Grammar did very well, had one of the top 40 albums.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25If You Wait, that was called.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26All The Little Lights, by Passenger,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29was one of the top 40 bestselling albums.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Rudimental as well, Home. The Lumineers and Tom Odell.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35One other pointless answer, and that was Ben Howard.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Very well done if you said any of those. Let's take a look at the top three scorers,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Katy Perry would've scored 10 points.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Rihanna on 12, and so we know what the top is.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- One Direction. How could it be anything else?- How could it?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- 30 points.- How could it? Indeed.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.- Good.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59with a high score of 200, I'm sorry, Mathew and Alex.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Oh, dear!- The bow tie is cutting off my circulation a bit.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Maybe that could be what it is.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07If you could dress up next time that would be...
0:25:07 > 0:25:08LAUGHTER
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- We'll come back with top hats. - That would be good.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Thanks very much for playing, Mathew and Alex. We'll see you next time. Cheers.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17APPLAUSE
0:25:17 > 0:25:20But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Congratulations, Zizzy and Suzanne, Katie and Derek.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:31 > 0:25:35and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42To decide who's going to play for that money you're now going to go
0:25:42 > 0:25:45head-to-head. You can now confer before you give your answers.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Zizzy and Suzanne will have the slight advantage, as our lowest
0:25:51 > 0:25:53scorers obviously. They get to answer first.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56But best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06OK, here comes your first question and it concerns
0:26:06 > 0:26:08the Armed Forces.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Armed Forces. Richard.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We're going to show you five images now of the armed forces from different countries.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17We need you to tell us the name of the country please.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20As always, by country, we mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25OK, let's reveal our five armed forces photographs and here they come.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26We've got...
0:26:47 > 0:26:51OK. There we are. Five armies of different countries.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Zizzy and Suzanne, you will go first.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The only one I think I know is A, which I think is Australia.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01THEY CONFER
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I don't know if it's right. Have you got any of them?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Not really, no.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Right, really not a strong subject at all.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15We're going to go with A as Australia.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19OK, you're going to say A, Australia. A, Australia.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Now then, Katie and Derek, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Um...- I'll let Dad do that- Yes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31I think the B may be India, C looks like Russia.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37I'm not sure about D, but when I was a young boy
0:27:37 > 0:27:42I had a set of toy soldiers brought back by my dad from Greece and
0:27:42 > 0:27:45they looked just like E so I'm going to go for E as Greece.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50E, Greece. OK. We have Zizzy and Suzanne saying A is Australia.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Let's see if that's right
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Australia for A.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58It's right.
0:28:00 > 0:28:0263.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03APPLAUSE
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Now then, Katie and Derek
0:28:09 > 0:28:11have said that E is Greece.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Let's see if that's right,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and, if it is, let's see how many people said E was Greece.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18It's right.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And it wins you the point. Very well done.
0:28:21 > 0:28:2243 for Greece.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24APPLAUSE
0:28:26 > 0:28:28So very well done, Derek and Katie.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Well played, Derek, and how lovely also that a gift from your father
0:28:33 > 0:28:36so many years ago has given you a gift again, as a lovely story.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You were right, Derek, B is India.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43That's a good scorer, as well. It scored 31 points.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46That is well-drilled marching. Look at that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50That is very good. C, terrible marching here from the Russians.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- 77 points. That's the Russian One Direction, there.- Yeah!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54LAUGHTER
0:28:55 > 0:28:58And the best answer...
0:28:58 > 0:28:59is D,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- that's the Norwegians.- Wow.- Yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06And that would have scored you two points.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Very well done if you said that.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Zizzy and Suzanne, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Best of luck. It concerns:
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Fruits and berries. Richard.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Simply five clues now about edible fruits and berries.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- OK, thanks very much.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I'll read those all again.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Now Katie and Derek, you will go first.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13What do you think?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Well, I think, go for the limes. I know the answer to that.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Is it scurvy?- Yeah. - Go with that one then.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21We're going to go for the first one, please,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24and we believe the answer is scurvy.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Scurvy, say Katie and Derek. Scurvy.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Now then, Zizzy and Suzanne. Talk us through the board.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I think they're right with scurvy.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36An Australian opera singer, that's Dame Nellie Melba.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40The John Steinbeck novel is The Grapes Of Wrath.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Grand Slam is Wimbledon.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I've got a guess for the last one, but it would be a risk.- Ooh!
0:30:46 > 0:30:51Do you want to take the risk, or do you want to go with one of the others?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Take a risk.- OK.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56We're going to, on Suzanne's instructions,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- go for pineapple for the last one. - Pineapple, OK.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02So we have scurvy, we have pineapple.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Katie and Derek said scurvy. Let's see if that's right,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:11 > 0:31:1368 for scurvy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15APPLAUSE
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Zizzy and Suzanne have said that Ananas comosus
0:31:21 > 0:31:23is pineapple. Let's see if that's right,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said pineapple.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It's right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34And you're back in the game. Very well done, indeed.
0:31:34 > 0:31:3631.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Well done. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Well played, Zizzy and Suzanne.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It's actually a high-scoring board and that's the best answer up there,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48believe it or not. Did you know pineapple is not a fruit?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Pineapple is a series of fruits, or flowers, around a central core.- Wow.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's not one individual fruit. Now let's look at the rest of these.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58As I say, it's a high-scoring board and you gave us
0:31:58 > 0:32:02all the correct answers, as well. Dame Nellie Melba, absolutely right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04She would have scored you 52.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06You're right about Grapes for John Steinbeck.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10That would have scored you 34. And you're right about Wimbledon.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13That's the biggest scorer up there. That would have scored...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- 87. So, yeah, 31, the lowest scorer. That's a high-scoring board.- Yeah.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Thanks very much indeed. OK, so it comes down to the decider,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22the third question. Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns:
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Literary works with animals in the title, Richard.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32We're going to show you five titles of literary works now,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34each of which has an animal in the title,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37but we've removed the animal from the title. Can you fill in the blanks?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Best of luck, both teams.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42OK, let's reveal our five animal-less literary works.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44And here they are.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16There we are. Now then, Zizzy and Suzanne, you will go first.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I don't know.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I'd guess at Stieg Larsson, but only a guess.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Go for it, honestly. - It'll be a guess, though.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Doesn't matter, go for it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32We're guessing The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest. OK.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Now, Katie and Derek, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I don't know any of them so I'll let you...
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The top one is the Maltese Falcon.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I'd guess the Henry James one is The Wings Of The Dove.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52And, the next one, I would guess, it would be a guess
0:33:52 > 0:33:54at The White Tiger.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- I think we're going to have to go for the Maltese Falcon.- Yep.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03The Maltese Falcon. OK, so we have Hornet versus Falcon.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Zizzy and Suzanne said The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Let's see if that's right, and, if it is, let's see how money people said it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1740.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And Katie and Derek have said The Maltese Falcon.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Let's see if that's right
0:34:25 > 0:34:28and it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3473.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Very well done. Zizzy and Suzanne, after three questions,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44you are through to the final. 2-1.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Yes, another pretty high-scoring board.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Very well played for The Hornet's Nest.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50The Wings Of The Dove, another big scorer.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53It was The Wings Of The Dove, Henry James.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55That would have scored you 68.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Now the next one down won the Booker Prize in 2008
0:34:58 > 0:35:02for Aravind Adiga, and it is The White...
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Tiger.- Oh...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06And would have scored you nine points,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09so it would have been a terrific answer.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- And the bottom one is a Thomas Hardy poem.- The Darkling Thrush.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14The Darkling Thrush. Yep,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17and that's the best answer up there and would have scored you six.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I'm afraid it's Katie and Derek.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26But a much, much better performance this time and very, very close.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Yes, good answers all-round.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I'm afraid, though, you're up against Zizzy and Suzanne,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33and they got it. They took that risk with pineapple and it paid off.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Thanks so much for playing, Katie and Derek.- Thank you.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41APPLAUSE
0:35:41 > 0:35:44But for Zizzy and Suzanne, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Congratulations, Zizzy and Suzanne. You've fought off all
0:35:51 > 0:35:54the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06APPLAUSE
0:36:08 > 0:36:11That was very exciting. What a good head-to-head.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13You were down 1-0 and you clawed it back and won.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16OK, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Here are your four options. We've got:
0:36:29 > 0:36:33This is where it all goes wrong. I have no idea on any of them.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36My sports knowledge has been used up, so I can't do cricket.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38OK, rule that out.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40My music knowledge has been used up.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I have been to Greece, and I've probably seen a film directed
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- by a man called Michael, so... - Films directed by Michaels?- Yeah.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- Yeah, go for the films. I've got no idea.- Films directed by Michaels.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54OK, films directed by Michaels, Richard.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Yeah, we're looking for any feature film or full-length documentary
0:36:57 > 0:36:58made for cinema release,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01for which any of the following three Michaels were responsible,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04before the end of January, 2014.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15So Mike Leigh films, Michael Moore films or Michael Powell films.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17According to IMDB,
0:37:17 > 0:37:20any films those three have directed for cinema release.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22The very, very best of luck.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- be pointless. Are you ready? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Your time starts now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Well, I've never heard of Mike Leigh...- Neither have I!
0:37:37 > 0:37:39..and I've never heard of Michael Powell.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Did Michael Moore do one about spelling?- I don't know.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- A spelling bee? What was it called? - I don't know, I'm asking you.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- You said you could do films. - I lied.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Michael Moore did...
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Bowling For Columbine.- What?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Bowling For Columbine. Was that him?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I don't know but it sounds like a film. We'll go with it.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Didn't he do one about 9/11?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Yes.- What was it called? - I don't know.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Remember, we didn't come to win the money.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08It's true, we came to meet the Osman. We've done that, shall we
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- just make a run for it?- Yes.- Right, come on, what was your first one?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- I've already forgotten.- Bowling For Columbine.- Bowling For Columbine.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Any others?- No.- Right, brilliant. Let's make up a couple of titles.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Michael Powell. I genuinely haven't heard of the other two.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Mike Leigh. Do we just...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Batman! Begins.- What?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Batman Begins. - Batman Begins, by who?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Mike Leigh.- Mike Leigh, OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Batman Returns.- OK. That's your time up.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I now need your three answers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43So what was your one for the one by Michael Moore?
0:38:43 > 0:38:48- Bowling For Columbine.- Bowling For Columbine by Michael Moore.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Then...9/11 by Michael Moore.- OK.
0:38:51 > 0:38:539/11 by Michael Moore.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- And then what did you say, Batman Begins by Mike Leigh?- Yep.- Yeah.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Brilliant.- Sounds like a winner!
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Batman Begins by Mike Leigh.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- Yep.- OK.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Your Columbine one.- OK, Bowling For Columbine we'll put last.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Least likely to be pointless? - Going to say Batman...
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Least likely to be correct! - ..Begins!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16OK, Batman Begins by Mike Leigh, we'll put first.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and here they are.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25We've got Batman Begins, 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Your first answer was Batman Begins directed by Mike Leigh.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33If one of those is pointless,
0:39:33 > 0:39:35what would you do with your prize money? Zizzy?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39I want to go to Iceland to see the aurora borealis.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Excellent. Suzanne?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I need a new shed.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44LAUGHTER
0:39:45 > 0:39:48But then I tell myself I'm not an old man, I don't need a shed.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- I'll go on holiday on Queen Mary 2 again.- Excellent.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- A much more useful way of spending my money.- OK, now best of luck.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Batman Begins. Let's find out if that's right.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59If it is, and it's pointless, you will win £1,000.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Is it a Mike Leigh film?
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Nope.- Shocked. Shocked. - I'm afraid not.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Your second answer is 9/11 as a Michael Moore film.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Let's find out if that's right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Again, if it's pointless it'll win you £2,000, let's see,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20how many people said 9/11?
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Ooh, bad luck!
0:40:25 > 0:40:29But we're now on terra firma here. Bowling For Columbine.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32A Michael Moore film, you say, let's find out if it's right,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34and if it is, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38OK, for £2,000 let's see how many people said Bowling For Columbine.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42It's right.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45So Batman Begins was incorrect, as was 9/11,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48but Bowling For Columbine is absolutely on the money,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51but down it goes, through the twenties, through the teens...
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- AUDIENCE: Aww. - Ten.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Never mind.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, you've done incredibly well,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00played very well throughout the show, but I'm afraid you didn't
0:41:00 > 0:41:03manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:03 > 0:41:05so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000, that will
0:41:05 > 0:41:08roll over onto the next show, but we've loved having you on
0:41:08 > 0:41:09and you have been fantastic.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12You get a Pointless trophy for that anyhow, well done.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Yeah, unlucky, Fahrenheit 9/11 was his documentary there,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23that would have scored you five points.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Batman Begins by Mike Leigh, as you say, that is...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28They've got to give the next film in the
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Batman franchise to Mike Leigh.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- Surely.- His gritty, semi-improvisational version of
0:41:33 > 0:41:37post-Thatcher Britain would fit in perfectly to the genre.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You should check out Mike Leigh, he's terrific,
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Secrets & Lies was his biggest scorer.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Bleak Moments, that was his very first film, Career Girls
0:41:49 > 0:41:52and High Hopes, they were the only pointless answers in
0:41:52 > 0:41:54the Mike Leigh film category, so very well done if
0:41:54 > 0:41:57you said one of those. Michael Moore...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Canadian Bacon, which was a comedy he directed,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02mostly known for documentaries of course.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Now Michael Powell,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12he directed lots of things with Pressburger as well,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and honestly, do yourself a favour and get the Michael Powell
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and Pressburger boxset, you'll LOVE it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Black Narcissus, terrific film, lovely romance
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I Know Where I'm Going, Ill Met By Moonlight,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp
0:42:25 > 0:42:27also pointless, in fact.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Everything apart from A Matter Of Life And Death - which is
0:42:29 > 0:42:33another amazing film - and The Red Shoes and Peeping Tom, all of his
0:42:33 > 0:42:37films apart from that were pointless, so very well done if you said one.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40If you haven't see any of those films I would really recommend them.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Be a lovely way to spend a weekend. - Mm. Thanks, Richard.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47but it's been great having you, thanks for playing.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Zizzy and Susanne.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Zizzy and Susanne didn't win our jackpot today sadly, which means
0:42:55 > 0:42:59it rolls over onto the next show, where we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
