0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- Hi, my name is Andy. This is my friend Norm.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40We are both retired firefighters and now international sports stars.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm David.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is my elder daughter Harriet and we're from Hemel Hempstead.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Judith.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51This is my friend Barbara and we've come up from East Sussex today.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, Xander. I'm Vikki.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56This is my sister Joanne and we're from Essex.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much to all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll get to know more about each of you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10our Pointless god expecting a blood sacrifice today.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Afternoon.- And to you.- What a cracking show last time!- Yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Properly some super-bright players on that show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And we've got two teams coming back from that - Judith and Barbara,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28who got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and David and Harriet, who got knocked out unluckily in the first round.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35It was largest cities in US states
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and Harriet knew a little bit too much, I think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Very unlucky wrong answers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42They are going to be very tough to beat for our two new pairs,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- I think.- Thanks very much. Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put
0:01:46 > 0:01:49to 100 people before the show. The aim of the game is to find that pointless answer,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Do that and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Scooter and Taz didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:16 > 0:02:18will be eliminated.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Our first category today is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:252013. Could you all decide in your pairs, who's going first
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and who's going second?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Whoever is going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46On each pass we're going to show you seven events that happened in 2013.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48You have to tell us the month they happened in.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52There's going to be seven on each pass, 14 to guess at home. 14 months.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- I'm guessing some of them will be repeated.- Yeah!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Thank you, Richard. We're looking for the month in which each of these
0:02:59 > 0:03:01events of 2013 took place.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And here is our first board of seven.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm going to read that again.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50There we are. Seven events of 2013.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Andy, looking a little bit flummoxed there. Welcome to the show.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Let's get to the root of all this. Retired firefighter.- Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- How many years did you fight fires?- 27 years.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06That is a long time in that particular service. Do you miss it?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09No, it's much more fun being an international sports star.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13All right, on to the international sports star segment of this discussion.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- What is your discipline, Andy? - Egg throwing.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I'm the World President of the World Egg Throwing Federation.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Talk us through the sport. These are raw eggs?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Yeah, there's five disciplines, but the sport that we excel at is the two-person throw-and-catch.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33In that, we have a catcher, which is me, and my chief tosser, which is Norm.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35LAUGHTER
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Right, so, you're the catcher. What are your techniques?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Soft hands, obviously.- Soft hands.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45The champion catchers tend to use the Smink method of catching.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Yes, well, you would.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Which is a forward snatch, where they lean forward and snatch the egg out of the air.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Which is much better than the British method of one-handed catch,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and much better than the other version which lots
0:04:58 > 0:05:01of people use, which is just hands up like this to catch the raw egg.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I'm the World President of the IETF, which is
0:05:05 > 0:05:08the International Egg Throwing Federation, which is a rival board.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09LAUGHTER
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- We hold our World Championships in Las Vegas.- OK!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17But yours is indoors, whereas yours is outdoors.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20No, we do outdoor as well. It started as indoor.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- That's where the schism started. - But you do it under spotlights and stuff.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It's crazy - everyone has walk-on music...
0:05:28 > 0:05:29We've got bigger eggs... LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:33They've got double yolks and everything! Amazing.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Emu eggs, we use. A lot of the big stars are coming across.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh, yeah! Thank you. Andy.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46I think Queen Beatrix signed the official abdication deed in June.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52June. Is that a complete guess or do you vaguely remember?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I was talking to a Dutchman about it in June last year.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59That would be it! June.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, let's see if that's right,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and if it's right how many of our 100 people said June.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08No! Not June. I'm sorry, Andy.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Maybe it takes a while for Dutchmen to absorb the information.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- But that, I'm afraid, is incorrect. Scores you 100 points.- Sorry, Andy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I do know there's a Dutch guy sitting watching this going, "Heh-heh..."
0:06:22 > 0:06:24LAUGHTER
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Harriet, welcome back. So what happened last time?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Yeah, I think I kind of tried to be a bit too obscure when I didn't
0:06:32 > 0:06:37need to be and I gave a capital city, not a largest population city.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41So hopefully I've learned my lesson, play a bit safer this round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What are you going to go for?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I'm going for President Obama's second inauguration,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- which I believe was in January. - January. The inauguration in January.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Let's see if that's right, and if it is how many people said it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58There we are, Harriet, look at that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- 24! - APPLAUSE
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Very well done.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Almost always in January, the inauguration of a President.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Thank you, Richard. So, we come to Barbara.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Barbara, remind us what you do.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Yeah, I'm a retired English teacher. - Indeed.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23And what do you fill your time with these days?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Oh, I could potter for England.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29There's nothing that beats the joy of retired people pottering.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33But I knit - I knit Christmas jumpers for all my family,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38which they then don't wear because they are too hot and I get resentful.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Make them thinner.- Yes, but thinner wool takes longer to knit.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oh, I see. Keep them thick.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48This is quite tough, this round, actually. Remembering months.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54I'm going to go for Graeme Swann, who I believe retired in December.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Sounds good to me. Let's see if that's right, and if it is how many of our 100 people said December.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's absolutely right. Well done, Barbara.
0:08:03 > 0:08:0524 is our low score at this point.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, you beat that! 13.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10APPLAUSE
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Barbara and Judith setting out their stall again.
0:08:13 > 0:08:1513 for Graeme Swann in December.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well played, Barbara. Graeme Swann is a traffic answer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Yeah, he retired 22 of December.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23He was so furious about the size of a jumper he'd been given.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- It was way too hot.- Down in Australia that is going to be very hot!
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It was ridiculous. The wool!
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Mind you, the reindeer...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hilarious! But very, very hot.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It was like one of the people from your egg throwing things.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Remember that guy? - Oh, we have a laugh over there.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- OK, now, Joanne. - Hello.- Joanne, welcome to the show.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I work for a small investment fund.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Very good. What are your hobbies?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Swimming, walking, cycling, basketball... Sports, really.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, very active.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03What about this board? Talk us through it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06There are five unanswered clues.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I would love to have a go at Frank, but I'm not going to.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I think I know Prince George
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and I think I know the Brits.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think Prince George was born
0:09:16 > 0:09:18in July and the Brits is
0:09:18 > 0:09:19usually in February and that's
0:09:19 > 0:09:21the answer I'm going to go with.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Emeli Sande, February, you're going to say. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and if it is, let's see how many people said February.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's absolutely right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:3313 is our lowest score at the moment.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh, you passed that! Very well done. Nine, Joanne.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37APPLAUSE
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Best score of the round so far. Very well done.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Terrific answer. Well played. You chose the right one,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47because you were right about Prince George, but it was a big scorer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50He was born on July 22, Prince George,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and would have scored you 35 points.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Frank Lampard, if you'd had to guess?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I think it was towards the end of the year - October?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- September.- Oh!- Would have scored you six points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Queen Beatrix was not in June, it was in April.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12He'd been standing on that news for a long time, your Dutch friend.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Just waiting for a sucker to come into his cafe in Amsterdam.
0:10:16 > 0:10:181 point for that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And Eleanor Catton won the Booker Prize with The Luminaries in October.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Would have scored you 2 points.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Let's look at those scores. Nine, Joanne. The best score of that pass.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Well done to you. 13, Barbara and Judith.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3724, Harriet and David.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Then I'm afraid up to 100, Andy and Norm, our high scorers. Norm...
0:10:42 > 0:10:43HE EXHALES
0:10:45 > 0:10:48We need a... Listen, anything can happen.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52If Andy can make a mistake, any of these people can make a mistake.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56This board could fall very well for you, you never know. Best of luck.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03OK, we are going to put seven more events up on the board
0:11:03 > 0:11:04and here they come.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I'll read those one last time.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52Now, Vikki, seven events from 2013 for you to guess at.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Joanne set you up beautifully there on nine points.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- A lovely low score. Vikki, what do you do?- I'm a stay at home mum.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Good stuff, and haw many children have you got?- Two.- What age?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07My daughter is eight and my little boy is six.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Lovely ages.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11And what do you like getting up to when you get some time?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Well, nowhere near as active as my sister.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I watch quite a bit of TV, actually. - Nothing wrong with that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Reading, cinema...
0:12:20 > 0:12:24OK, good stuff. What do you fancy going for on the board?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I think I know two.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'm going to go for Jennifer Lawrence
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- and say March for the Oscars. - March.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Joanne is nodding at that. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The high scorers are Norm and Andy on 100.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43You're on nine, so 90 or less sees you through. There's the red line.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Let's see if that's right for Jennifer Lawrence - March.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Oh, bad luck!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Sorry.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm afraid that's incorrect and scores you 100 points.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Takes your total up to 109.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Still maybe enough to see you through, though.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Sorry, Vikki. At least Joanne was nodding, so she got it wrong as well.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Thanks, Richard. Judith...
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Judith, welcome back. Remind us what you like to get up to.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Well, I do a spot of acting in my spare time.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I belong to a group that performs in the Brighton Festival Fringe
0:13:22 > 0:13:25every year, doing some pretty weird stuff.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27What kind of...?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Is it a blurred line between performance art and drama, or is it...?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- It is drama?- It is drama. It's avant-garde theatre.- OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39We're working on a piece which is set in May 1914,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43just before the outbreak of the war, and it's to do with suffragettes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Good. Do you write it yourselves or is it...?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Yeah, we devise it, basically.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Do lots of work improvising around it
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- and then we finalise a script and that's what we perform.- Very good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Now then, Vikki and Joanne are the high scorers on 109. You're on 13.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03So 95 or less gets you through. Not too much of an ask.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It is if you don't know any of the answers. That's the problem.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You know the answers, Judith!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Um...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I've just got a vague idea of roughly
0:14:12 > 0:14:14when in the year these things happen.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I know the Sports Personality Of The Year
0:14:17 > 0:14:20bores me rigid every year, so I don't watch it. I know it
0:14:20 > 0:14:24happens towards the end of one year or the beginning of the other...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So I'm going for December.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31OK, Sports Personality Of The Year, December. There's your red line.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33If you get below that you're through to the next round.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said December.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Very well done. You're through.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- 35. - APPLAUSE
0:14:45 > 0:14:4648 is your total.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Yeah, 15 December. Well worked out, Judith. Safely through.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Thanks, Richard. Now, David, welcome back. Good to have you here.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Good to be back.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01We discovered last time that you run a lot of marathons.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I heard you've run 50 marathons. - That's right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I think that's even more than Eddie Izzard has done.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08That's a lot of marathons.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11He did do them on consecutive days, with respect to him.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16That's very gracious of you to say. But I bet you have a faster time.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- I think I have.- What is your best time?- My best time is 3.39.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I think he got to about four hours, Eddie Izzard.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Well, 3.39, that's incredible.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28So, David, there you are. 24.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31High scorers still Vikki and Joanne on 109.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3484 or less sees you through.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I was hoping to go with one of the sports ones.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I'll take Wigan and trust that the FA Cup Final is still played in May.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44OK, May, says David, for Wigan winning the FA Cup.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Let's see if that's right, and if it is how many people said it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49There's your red line.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Absolutely right and through you go, David. Very well done.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- 29. - APPLAUSE
0:15:59 > 0:16:0153 is your total.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Yes, Wigan beat Manchester City in the final with Ben Watson
0:16:04 > 0:16:06scoring the winner.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- It's a Cinderella story.- Mm!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now, Norm, hello, and welcome to Pointless.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17We've heard about all the different techniques for the catch,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- the... What's it called? - The Smink.- The Smink.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25There you go. And an underarm. What's your biggest throw?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29I think it was about 45 metres.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- And impeccably caught by Andy. - No.- No?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Not the Smink that time? - I don't...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You don't play with the Smink. You haven't mastered the Smink.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44No, I tend to use the Warren McElone catch method.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47What is the McElone one?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You catch it onto your belly, extended belly,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54and catch it there, using the belly as a soft process.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57The belly as a soft process. This is a whole new world to me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I honestly can't believe they let you two guys be firemen. LAUGHTER
0:17:03 > 0:17:06These guys once had a siren! Can you believe that?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I know, I know. Now, Norm, this board is all yours.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Talk us through it.- Thank you.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Well, I'm very busy practising, so I think I will go for...
0:17:22 > 0:17:24..The Pontiff.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Elected, becoming Pope Francis in July.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31July, says Norm. Is that a complete guess or is that informed?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Does it show? - I don't know, I'm just wondering.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You said it with a degree of confidence. I was just wondering.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Yes, it's a degree of confidence, but it's still a guess.- OK, July.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Let's find out if it's right. There's your red line.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47No, I'm afraid it's not!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'm sorry, Norm and Andy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53That scores you another 100 points, takes your total to a glorious 200.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- That is weird, because that Dutch guy told you in July, so...- June!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- June, he said.- It was March.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Would have scored you 4 points.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08The Oscars, you were very, very close - February.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Would have scored 12.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17The first-ever London Underground journey was on 9 January.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21151 years ago now. Would have scored you two points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24That must have been very popular when it opened,
0:18:24 > 0:18:25at that time of year, January,
0:18:25 > 0:18:30being able to go underground in the warm, out of the Victorian winter...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Very nice. Yeah. - A lot of pipe smoke, I should think.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37It must have been weird to be on a steam train underground.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Everyone smoking, including the children. - LAUGHTER
0:18:41 > 0:18:47The final episode of Breaking Bad was broadcast in September.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Would have scored you 6.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54And the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech was August.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56That would have scored you 2 points.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Very well done if you got those. It's tough, isn't it?- Very tough.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Apart from the ones that happen the same month every year,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03like the FA Cup Final, the Oscars, things like that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- It's hard to remember even stuff that happened recently. - Yeah, and particularly
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- when you've got Dutch people trying to put you off. - LAUGHTER
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Talking about things with a massive lag.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15If ever a Dutch person tells you about something that happened,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18it happened four months ago - that's the way to remember it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21And that's because of the time difference.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25So, at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair heading
0:19:25 > 0:19:29home with a high score of 200, it's Norm and Andy. I'm sorry.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It was a tough round, it has to be said. We'll see you next time.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- We look forward to that very much. Norm and Andy. - APPLAUSE
0:19:36 > 0:19:40But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Three pairs remain.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48At the end of this round we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Musical Theatre.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going first
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and who's going second?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Whoever is going first please step up to the podium.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Musicals that have won the Olivier Awards, Richard.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We are looking for the name of any show that's won either
0:20:20 > 0:20:24the Best New Musical or the Best Musical in the Olivier Awards
0:20:24 > 0:20:27all the way through from 1976, when they had a different name,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29all the way through to 2013.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35So any show that's won the Best Musical or Best New Musical, 1976 to 2013.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Thank you, Richard. OK, so, Harriet. - OK, terrible subject for me.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- I'm going to say Wicked. - Wicked, says Harriet.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Sounds fair enough to me. Let's see if it's right, Wicked.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48How many people said it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Oh!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56An incorrect answer, as it turned out. Not an Olivier Award winner.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Scores you 100 points. Sorry. - Yeah, that's tough, Harriet.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05You would have thought so. Terrific musical, but lost out. Interesting.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09OK, thank you very much indeed. Barbara.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13I confess I'm in a similar position to Harriet.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19But I think I'm going to play safe - famous last words - and say Cats.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Cats, says Barbara.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Let's see if that's right and how many people said Cats.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That did win an Olivier Award.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- You said you'd play safe. 29 is what you score! - APPLAUSE
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Good answer. - Very good answer, yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Won Musical Of The Year in 1981, the year it opened.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- It's grossed over £1 billion since. - Wow.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Right. Now, Vikki, Musicals.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Total guess for me too.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Um... The Lion King.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Sounds like a brilliant guess, but let's see. The Lion King.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Is it right? How many people said it?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Ooh, no!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Vikki!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Another travesty at the Oliviers, I'm afraid.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The Lion King never picked up a gong.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14You join Harriet and David on 100 - that's a relief, isn't it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Phew! Got some company up there!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Yeah, but I'm afraid an incorrect answer - sorry.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Yeah, nominated in 2000, but didn't win, I'm afraid.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:25 > 0:22:2729, Barbara and Judith
0:22:27 > 0:22:29once again the low scorers at this point.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Up to 100, where we find Vikki and Joanne and Harriet and David.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37So, David and Joanne... Yes, exactly. A little bit of pressure.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40One of you, I suspect, will be leaving us at the end of this round
0:22:40 > 0:22:42and the other will be staying.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It all rests upon your musical knowledge.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players
0:22:46 > 0:22:47step up to the podium?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53OK, so we're looking for the title of any show that has won
0:22:53 > 0:22:55the Olivier Award for Best New Musical or Musical of the Year.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Joanne. You're on 100. It needs to be low.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01OK. Terrible round.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Er...complete guess...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Starlight Express?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Starlight Express, says Joanne. Let's find out if that's right.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12No red line, obviously, as you are joint high scorers.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19There's your answer, I'm afraid. An incorrect answer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Another 100 points takes your total up to 200.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Yeah, sorry, no Starlight Express.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I promise you there's lots of famous musicals here, there really are.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Thanks very much. OK, now, Judith,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33good news. You're through. Whatever you score, you're through.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Now, come on, surely this is good for you, isn't it?- It's great, yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39With your theatre interests, come on.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Or is it not quite avant garde enough?
0:23:42 > 0:23:43No, that's the thing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm going to take a complete punt and go for Hello, Dolly!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48OK.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50No red line for you, you're already through,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52so it doesn't matter if it's wrong, but let's see. Hello, Dolly.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57No. I'm afraid another incorrect answer,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 129.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- It is going terrifically well, isn't it?- It is. Great round.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- It's a great round.- Yup.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Thanks very much, Richard. Now, David.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12David. You only have to score 99 or less
0:24:12 > 0:24:15to see yourselves into the head-to-head.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I think you can do this.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Please do this. - I will do my very level best.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'll go for...hopefully a slam-dunk big musical,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Les Miserables.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Les Miserables, says David. Let's see if that's right,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Les Miserables.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Here's your red line.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36No!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's an incorrect answer! Oh.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Ooh, this is exciting, Richard. - Do we get another go?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That's all you need to know about awards shows right there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:481985, nominated but didn't win.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49So we are in lockdown.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54- Lockdown.- Lockdown. BOTH: # Oh, oh, oh, oh, lockdown
0:24:56 > 0:24:59# Oh, oh, oh, oh, lockdown
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- # Lockdown. # - APPLAUSE
0:25:06 > 0:25:10As it's a tie, the tied pairs have to give me one more answer each.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12They are now allowed to confer,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16and the pair that gets the highest score will be eliminated.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Harriet and David.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22We'll have a stab at Phantom Of The Opera.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Phantom Of The Opera, say David and Harriet.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Now then, Joanne and Vikki, what are you going to go for?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- BOTH:- Mamma Mia!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Mamma Mia! We have Phantom Of The Opera, we have Mamma Mia!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34David and Harriet said Phantom Of The Opera - let's see if
0:25:34 > 0:25:38that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Oh! It's a right answer!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I'd forgotten what that tower sounded like.- So had we.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Down it goes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:4726.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49APPLAUSE
0:25:49 > 0:25:52226 is your total, which means,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Joanne and Vikki, that is your goal.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58You have to score 25 or less
0:25:58 > 0:26:00with Mamma Mia! Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Mamma Mia! Is it right? How many people said it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Oh!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10There's your answer - Mamma Mia! also never won an award.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Oof. And, David and Harriet, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Very well done indeed.- Well played. Mamma Mia! and The Lion King
0:26:18 > 0:26:21were both nominated in 2000 - both nominated, both lost,
0:26:21 > 0:26:22and they both lost to Honk! -
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- a musical based on...- Ducks. - ..Hans Christian Andersen's stories.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Now, I'll take you through some of the lower scores
0:26:31 > 0:26:32before we look at the pointless answers.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36You could have got 5 points for Billy Elliot: The Musical, or Matilda -
0:26:36 > 0:26:38both of those would have scored 5 points.
0:26:38 > 0:26:414 points for Blood Brothers or Hairspray.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44You'd have got 3 points for Sweeney Todd, 42nd Street or A Chorus Line.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48And 1 point for The Producers, Poppy, Jersey Boys,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Legally Blonde: The Musical, Carmen Jones,
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Me And My Girl, The Comedy Of Errors.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Most of these were for Best New Musical.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Beauty And The Beast. Candide won for Best Musical.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01There's Honk! The Ugly Duckling,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03which has given you a score of 300,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04almost by itself.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Er, Jerry Springer: The Opera won Best New Musical,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14the musical based on Madness's music, Our House, was a pointless answer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Also pointless answers, Return To The Forbidden Planet,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21which won Best Musical, Spring Awakening and Top Hat.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Thanks very much indeed. So at the end of our second round,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I'm afraid the pair who are heading home
0:27:25 > 0:27:28with their high score of 300,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30it's Joanne and Vikki. We will see you again next time.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33There won't be any more musical stuff, I can promise that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Thanks so much for playing, Joanne and Vikki.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37APPLAUSE
0:27:37 > 0:27:41But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Congratulations, Judith and Barbara, David and Harriet,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51you are now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:27:51 > 0:27:54to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £4,000.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00So all we have to do is decide who's doing to play for that money,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and to do that you are going to go head to head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05The difference is, you can play as teams from here on in.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07You discuss before you give your answers.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The first team to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12This, I think, is going to be exciting. Best of luck.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23OK. Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Businessmen And Businesswomen.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Richard.- Going to show you five pictures
0:28:27 > 0:28:29of people from the world of business.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You just have to identify the most obscure. Good luck.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35OK, let's reveal our people from the world of business,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37and here they come. We have...
0:28:58 > 0:29:03OK? There we are. Five people from the world of business.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Barbara and Judith, you'll go first as you've scored the lowest so far.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08THEY CONFER
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Anita Roddick, yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Richard Branson... Is that Debbie...
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Deborah Meaden is the last one.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18That's the underwear one.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Oh, yeah.- I don't know her name. I don't know the bloke.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- I think we should go for Anita Roddick.- I think so.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29OK. We're fairly sure of three of them.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32A little bit perplexed by the other two.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35D, we have absolutely no idea who he is, but I think we're going to
0:29:35 > 0:29:37go for A, Anita Roddick.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40OK, A, Anita Roddick, you're going to say, Anita Roddick.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Now, David and Harriet.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Talk us through that board, if you can.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Er...we knew A was Anita Roddick.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49B is Richard Branson.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52C we think is Michelle Mone,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and I think that is going to be our answer.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57We don't know D, and E is Deborah Meaden.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Er, so we're going to play C, Michelle Mone, please.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Michelle Mone. So we have Anita Roddick and Michelle Mone.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Judith and Barbara said Anita Roddick -
0:30:05 > 0:30:08let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11It's right.
0:30:16 > 0:30:1818.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19APPLAUSE
0:30:19 > 0:30:2218 for Anita Roddick.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Now then, David and Harriet. You have said that C
0:30:25 > 0:30:28is Michelle Mone. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32let's see how many of our 100 people have said Michelle Mone for C.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It's right.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Ooh, you've done it!
0:30:41 > 0:30:4311. Very well done indeed.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44APPLAUSE
0:30:44 > 0:30:48David and Harriet, you've broken Judith and Barbara's serve there,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50and after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Very nicely played, yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54The entrepreneur Michelle Mone.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Anita Roddick also a good answer.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58What do you think Richard Branson would score?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00He's going to be pleased to be...
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Oh, in the mid-90s, I'm going to say.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Yeah, 94 points, that's huge.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08For an individual, that's a very big score, isn't it?
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Um...now D is best answer on the board.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14It's a pointless answer, in fact.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17And it's Rocco Forte.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Is it?- Very well done if you got that.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- Goodness.- And E, as I think everyone knew, is the lovely Deborah Meaden.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Lovely Deborah Meaden.- And she would have scored you 40 points.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Judith and Barbara, you have to win this one to stay in.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35OK, best of luck with that. It concerns...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39..St Paul's Cathedral.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40St Paul's Cathedral. Richard.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43We're going to show you five clues, to facts about St Paul's Cathedral,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- can you give us the most obscure answer?- OK.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Let's reveal our five clues. And here they come.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I'll read those all one last time...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Now, David and Harriet, you will answer first.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28THEY WHISPER
0:32:31 > 0:32:35He was, but is that a too obvious answer? Do you know any of the other answers?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- I do know the others.- OK... - The Great Fire Of London...
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Is that too obvious as well? Any others?
0:32:40 > 0:32:41The Tube line is the Central Line.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44OK. We think we know three of them
0:32:44 > 0:32:47and we're hoping that the lowest answer of those three
0:32:47 > 0:32:50would be the Tube line, which is the Central Line.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The Central Line, say David and Harriet. The Central Line.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Now, Judith and Barbara, over to you. The board is all yours.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00The 1666 disaster was The Great Fire Of London.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Um, the Prime Minister was Winston Churchill.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06We got a day off school for that, I remember that.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07JUDITH LAUGHS
0:33:07 > 0:33:10And, um, but that's not what we're going for.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13We're going to go on a real punt with this one.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14I can see a picture in my mind,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16whether it is the Evening Star, I'm not sure,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18but I think George Frederic Watts is the artist.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20George Frederic Watts.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24OK, so we have the Central Line and we have George Frederic Watts.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28David and Harriet have said that St Paul's underground station
0:33:28 > 0:33:29is on the Central Line.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4117.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Good answer.- I think your answer is below that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51Now then, Judith and Barbara, you've gone on a bit of a punt here.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It could be a brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56You've said the Evening Star artist buried in the cathedral
0:33:56 > 0:34:00in 1851 was George Frederick Watts.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- ALEXANDER EXHALES DEEPLY - Let's find out if that's right.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06This is exactly the kind of risk you need to take,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09but let's find out, is that right, George Frederic Watts?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Oh, no! I'm sorry.- Sorry. - JUDITH LAUGHS
0:34:13 > 0:34:14I'm sorry.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Fortune normally favours the brave, but in this instance, it didn't.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19David and Harriet,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22after only two questions you are through to the final 2-0.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well played, always worth it if you've got
0:34:24 > 0:34:27something in your head to go for it, but it's actually Turner...
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Turner.- ..is the answer, yes. A very low score as well,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32would've scored you one point.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It was the Great Fire Of London, I think both teams knew that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Would've scored you 69 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I think both teams knew Winston Churchill as well.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44He would've scored you 66.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46And a pointless answer if you knew
0:34:46 > 0:34:50it was David Ison who took over as Dean in May 2012.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Very well played if you got that at home, terrific answer.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Judith and Barbara.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Oh! You've played absolutely brilliantly.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04But I'm afraid the head-to-head round hasn't treated you kindly...
0:35:04 > 0:35:05- Oh, well.- ..in both shows.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10It's been lovely having you on both shows, thank you for playing, Judith and Barbara, well done.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11APPLAUSE
0:35:13 > 0:35:16But for David and Harriet, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE CONTINUES
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Congratulations, David and Harriet, you've fought off the competition
0:35:23 > 0:35:26and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:42 > 0:35:46So an early exit from the last Pointless appearance, in Round One.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- But this time, by the skin of your teeth at times...- Yes.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- ..through to the final.- Bumpy ride.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Well, you get to choose your category.- Yes.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Admittedly, it's from the four options we give you.- Yes.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Let's find out what they are.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11What do you think?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14OK. Whichever one you feel more strongly on. I may....
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You like cult sitcoms?
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Yes, OK.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20We will try cult sitcoms, please.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Excellent, cult sitcoms it is.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Chances here, you've been terrific throughout.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Hopefully your luck holds with one of these three.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We're looking for any person who has been credited
0:36:29 > 0:36:33as acting in two or more episodes of The Mighty Boosh,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36in two or more episodes of the '80s sitcom, Girls On Top,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39or in two or more episodes of Spaced.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I know for some this is a dream category. Hopefully it is for you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45So, anyone who is credited as appearing,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48according to IMDb, in two or more episodes of The Mighty Boosh,
0:36:48 > 0:36:52two or more episodes of Girls On Top, or two or more episodes of Spaced.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57OK, now you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and all you need to win that jackpot, £4,000,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- Are you ready?- Yes.- Think so.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Spaced.- Do you know Spaced very well?- No, you do though.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- I only know Simon Pegg. - You only know Simon Pegg.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Pretty much, so we'll have to go for people of his vintage...- OK.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- I don't know...- The Mighty Boosh, Richard Aduwale.- Noel Fielding.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Noel Fielding and this Richard guy, who was on,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26you know the one, with the Afro, Richard Aduwale? Adu...
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Richard...- No, no, it's Adu, what? Adu...- No.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32THEY WHISPER
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Other people with Simon Pegg. - Um, OK.- Let's go Nick Frost,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- loads of people, Rik Mayall was in that.- Yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Anyone who made, like a guest appearance or anything.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I know, but it's just two episodes, there must be about 12 of them.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I'm guessing people like Ade Edmondson, or, um...
0:37:49 > 0:37:51The woman who looks a bit like Joanna Page.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54You know, from Stacey, Gavin And Stacey. Um...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Oh, who is this Richard guy?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You think of Spaced, I'll think of...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Ten seconds left.- Right. - I'm struggling.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02DAVID WHISPERS
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Oh, dear.- OK.- What a category. - Right. - DAVID LAUGHS
0:38:09 > 0:38:12OK, that is your time up, I'm so sorry to say.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Now, let's have your three answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18We're going to go with actors in Spaced,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- we will try Ade Edmondson. - Ade Edmondson.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24We will try, going up, um...
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Mighty Boosh. Do you want to go with that one? Richard Aduwale?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Richard Aduwale.- Aduwale. - Richard Aduwale.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- And for another actor in Spaced, we'll take Nick Frost.- Nick Frost.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, so we have Ade Edmondson, Richard Aduwale
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- and...- Nick Frost.- ..Nick Frost.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I think they're all quite long shots,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49but if it's correct, Nick Frost for the best answer.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- OK, Nick Frost we'll put last.- Um...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Let's say Richard Aduwale at the top,
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- I think I pronounced his surname wrong.- That may be wrong.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, and here they are. We have got...
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Well, very, very best of luck. Three answers on the board there.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11If one of those is pointless, you will win that jackpot. £4,000.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13This is turning into quite a nice jackpot.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15What would you do with that if you won it? David.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17If the cheque was payable to me,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20I would take the family to New York with half of it.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22And I think if it was payable to me,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26I would book a nice ski holiday and take the family with me too. So...
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Very good indeed.- Yes. - OK, well, best of luck, as I say.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Your first answer, the one you were least confident in...
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- 100% un-confident. - ..is Richard Aduwale.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- You weren't sure about that surname.- Yes, it's wrong.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40OK, well, let's find out. Obviously it has to be correct.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42In this case, we are looking for cast members of The Mighty Boosh.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Let's find out if it's right.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46If it is right, it then has to be pointless.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48If it is both of those things, you win £4,000.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50How many people said Richard Aduwale?
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Is it pointless?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Ooh! I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- I knew, I knew that it was wrong... - OK.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Everything is now riding on your last two answers.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Your middle answer was Ade Edmondson.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08In this case, we were looking for cast members from Spaced.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Let's find out if it's right and if it is, how may people said it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14For £4,000, is Ade Edmondson pointless?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Oh! I'm afraid it's incorrect.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:23 > 0:40:24the one you were most,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I'd say pretty confident in this one, wouldn't you?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30He appears in everything now with Simon Pegg,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- but was he doing it in those days?- OK, well, let's find out.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Nick Frost, your final answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Again, looking for cast members from Spaced.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38If it's right and pointless, you'll win £4,000.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41So, let's find out how many people said Nick Frost.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45There you are, it's right!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49A good answer. Your first answer, Richard Aduwale was incorrect,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52your second answer, Ade Edmondson, was incorrect.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Your third and final answer, Nick Frost... Oh! 7.- Ah.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:00APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Not a bad score by any means, but sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12But you've been just brilliant on the show, such a strong performance.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Redeemed, we don't even have to talk about your last show
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- and the early exit there. - Or the second round.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Or the second round, it's all fine.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each. Very well done for that.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - APPLAUSE
0:41:28 > 0:41:32You played ever so well. Great to see a father and daughter with such a good relationship
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and working so well together. It's terrific stuff.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the categories.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Let's start with The Mighty Boosh.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Dave Brown, who plays Bollo, was a pointless answer. Peter Kyriacou.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Rich Fulcher, who plays Bob Fossil, also a pointless answer,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47the wonderful Simon Farnaby.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49The big scorers, Noel Fielding would've scored 32.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52The only other scorers were Julian Barratt, Michael Fielding,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Richard Ayoade...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- A big scorer, you said.- ..would've scored 3.- Ah, OK.- Ayoade.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00And Matt Berry, who would've scored you 1 point.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at Girls On Top.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Alan Rickman would've been a pointless answer. Helen Lederer,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Joan Greenwood, who played their landlady rather wonderfully.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Pauline Melville. Again, the only scorers there,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Ruby Wax, Tracey Ullman and Harriet Thorpe.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Everyone else, a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18And finally, Spaced.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Clive Russell, you could've had Julia Deakin,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24the brilliant Michael Smiley, there's Reece Shearsmith.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Bill Bailey, also a pointless answer for that.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30I think some people would've got him at home and Anna Wilson-Jones, also a pointless answer.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33The scorers there, Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes, Nick Frost,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Peter Serafinowicz, Mike Heap and Katy Carmichael.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42We have to say goodbye, David and Harriet, but we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Thank you so much for playing, playing so well, David and Harriet.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- APPLAUSE - Thank you.- Thank you.
