0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much, indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the game where we aim for the obscure and ignore the obvious.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And, couple number one...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hi, I'm Gary. This is my friend Martin.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We're both from Teignmouth in Devon.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two...
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Mike. This is Stu. We're running friends from Glasgow.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three...
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Sam, this is my housemate Matt,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and we're both drama students from Bristol.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four...
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Blair, this is my girlfriend Samantha,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we live in Northampton.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We'll find out more about each of you as the show goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10He's as well-rounded as a flock of sheep with a collie dog,
0:01:10 > 0:01:11it's my Pointless friend,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE Hello, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon.- And to you.- Just looking at Martin and Gary there on podium one.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- They still look stunned from what happened last time.- I know.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26In their head-to-head, came up against Vicky and Joanna,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29thought, you know, "Nice little head-to-head, might just,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- "sort of, linger a while."- Yeah.- Got absolutely streamrolled, didn't you?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34They scored one point on both of their questions.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Best ever performance we've seen in the head-to-head.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38But you're back for more.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Surely no-one can do as well against you in the head-to-head,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44if you get there again? And the good news is, that jackpot is creeping up.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Yeah, isn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It is a little bit. So there's some nice money to be had.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Stu and Mike, we didn't see so much of last time,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51got knocked out in the first round,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54so fingers crossed we'll see a little bit more of you this time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Thanks very much, indeed.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put
0:01:59 > 0:02:00to 100 people before the show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Our contestants have to find the obscure answers
0:02:02 > 0:02:03those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08that being an answer than none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and each time hat happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Vicky and Joanne didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:02:15 > 0:02:19another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £six, 250.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22APPLAUSE
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Now, remember the pair with the highest score
0:02:32 > 0:02:34at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37so do everything you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Our first category today is...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Pop songs. Can you all decide, in your pairs,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Songs featuring locations.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01On each pass, we're going to show you
0:03:01 > 0:03:03the names of six UK Top 40 hit singles.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05We need you to tell us the name of the artist
0:03:05 > 0:03:07who had a UK Top 40 hit in the year shown.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So six titles on each board, all of which have locations in their name.
0:03:10 > 0:03:1312 in all, to have a go at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15OK, so we're looking for the name of the act
0:03:15 > 0:03:18who had a hit, with each of these songs, in the year shown.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Here is our first board of six.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'll read those one last time.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Martin, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And, you know, in that head-to-head round,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59it wasn't like you didn't have the second best answer, in each case.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- I know, I know. - The second-lowest score.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Beaten by the better couple.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- HE SIGHS - Still annoying, though, isn't it?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- BOTH:- Yeah. Very annoying.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Anyway, now, Martin, welcome back. Now remind us what you do.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'm in sales and marketing in the food industry.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15That's right. And in your spare time, what do you love to get up to?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Erm, I like to play sport, but, unfortunately,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I don't do it very much.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22If you had to play sport, which sport would you choose?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Football and tennis. - Football and tennis.- Yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28OK, now how about pop songs?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK, I know a few of those.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35I think I'll go for the top one, with Gene Pitney.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Gene Pitney, Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Let's see if that's right and,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42if it is, let's see how many people said Gene Pitney.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Absolutely right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- 33 for Gene Pitney. Martin, not quite happy with that?- No.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Would you have preferred to go a little bit further down?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Still, not a bad score, gets us off to a good start.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yeah, started out as a songwriter, Gene Pitney.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Wrote Hello Mary Lou, that was his first big hit,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05but that song was written by Bacharach and David.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Stu...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Hi.- Stu, welcome back.- Thanks. - Now, tell me, Stu...
0:05:09 > 0:05:16You and Mike have been running together for a long time.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- When you enter competitions together...- Yes...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I mean, obviously, Mike was lamenting the fact
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- that you tend to be a little bit ahead of him.- Mmm.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Do you keep relatively close to each other, though?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Or do you just then peg it, and leave him in your dust?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33No, to be fair, we are quite well-paced. We are quite well-paced.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34OK, well, that's good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Depends how generous I'm feeling on the day as well.- Right, OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So you get about half a mile from the finish line,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- then just put on a turn of speed and...- What I like to do is,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45slow down and let him catch up and then just leg it, yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Yeah. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:05:47 > 0:05:49OK, Stu, what do you make of this board?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Not a lot. Like, yeah...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's not the best, erm...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I think Angel of Harlem is by U2. - U2, says Stu,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59for Angel of Harlem, let's see if that's right.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06It's absolutely right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- 19! - APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:1719 for Angel of Harlem by U2.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Yeah, top ten hit from their Rattle and Hum album, by U2.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Did they have a guest singer on that?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Was that the one they had a guest singer on?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- No.- No.- They've never had a guest singer on any of their songs.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31They're known for it. Bono wont allow anyone else in the studio.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33There's one microphone that belongs to him...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34HE LAUGHS
0:06:34 > 0:06:35..and he doesn't let anybody else use it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Someone tried to use it once and he just went nuts.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40LAUGHTER Crazy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Aretha Franklin tried to join in... LAUGHTER
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- ..Bono was having none of it.- Nah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46But, you know, it's...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- It's his band, right?- It's his band. It's his band.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49LAUGHTER
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Thank you very much, indeed. Now, Sam, welcome.- Cheers.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Oh! We have new blood at the far end of our line there. Sam, welcome.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Great to have you here. A drama student at Bristol.- Yep.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01How's that going? What year are you in?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- We're both in our last year now. - Has it been a good course?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05It has, yeah. Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Do you think, are you going to go
0:07:07 > 0:07:09into professional acting, do you think?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Possibly, I mean, it's quite hard to make a lot of money out of it,
0:07:12 > 0:07:17enough money to make a living, so probably going to try and get
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- a solid job, once I've finished uni...- Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21..and then, maybe try and do it off my own back.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Try and get into a drama company, something like that,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- and see where it will take me. - Yeah, good. Good stuff.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Well, best of luck with that with that, Sam.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30What are you going to go for?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33This board is getting harder and harder, I think, isn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Yeah. The only one I recognise is Pompeii.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I know how it goes, but I don't know who it was by.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43So, I'm going to have to take a big punt and guess...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Snow Patrol.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- But I have no idea. - Snow Patrol for Pompeii?- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Well, let's see if that's right,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Snow Patrol.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- Ooh.- Yeah.- I'm sorry, Sam.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Oh, I thought so.- I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Scores you the maximum of 100 points, I'm really sorry.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Sorry, Sam, we'll give the correct answer to that one
0:08:03 > 0:08:05at the end of the pass.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- OK now, Samantha.- Hello.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09A warm welcome to you, to Pointless.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- What do you do, Samantha? - I'm an accounts assistant.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And what do you do in your spare time?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Um...I like to look after virtual farms.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21LAUGHTER
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, how does that...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- happen? - LAUGHTER
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I have to invest in different animals.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Yep.- And then build mills and dairies and sell on the produce.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39And currently I've got two farms in the USA, two in France
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- and a couple in Germany.- Wow.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42- How's it going?- Brilliant.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Which of those are...? What's the most exciting crop you have?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Ooh...erm...
0:08:48 > 0:08:49flax.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I was going to say cotton, so, right, that's good. That's fun.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Do you own livestock? Where do you keep your livestock?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Erm, just in big pens.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- I see.- And who's looking after them, now you're here?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01LAUGHTER
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- You hire workers.- Course you do. Course, sorry.- To look after them.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06LAUGHTER
0:09:06 > 0:09:09That is... That's great. Any of them organic? Your virtual farms?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- I don't think so. - You should look into that,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15you get good virtual grants for that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- LAUGHTER - I might do that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Well, yes, worth looking into.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Anyway, now, Samantha. You're the last person to have this board.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Do you want to just talk through the board
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and see if you can have a punt at any of those?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think I know one,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30so I'm going to have to go with Surfin' USA
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- and hope that that's The Beach Boys. - Sounds reasonable enough.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36The Beach Boys, for Surfin' USA. Let's see if it's right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Let's see how many people said The Beach Boys.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:4669. Not bad though.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:5069, for The Beach Boys.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, some good damage limitation there, Samantha. Well done.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Now, let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Pompeii, it's by the all-conquering Bastille.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Not Snow Patrol, I'm afraid.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Would have scored you 13.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Diamonds from Sierra Leone is Kanye West.- Kanye West.- Yep.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Would've scored you 7 points.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And a slightly difference vintage, Tulips from Amsterdam,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11was Max Bygraves,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and would've scored you 17. So the best answer up there is
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Kanye West, very well done if you said that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Let's take a look at those scores. The best score of that pass
0:10:22 > 0:10:25was yours Stu, well done. 19 for U2, there.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Then up to 33, where we find Martin and Gary.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Up to 69, Samantha and Blair.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And then up to 100, where we find Sam and Matt.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Matt, how did you find that board?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I knew Bastille, but, it was a tough board.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I didn't know any of the others. - You will get second crack
0:10:39 > 0:10:40- at the next board. - Yeah.- Use it well
0:10:40 > 0:10:43to find a low score and maybe it will keep you in the game.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Now then, we're going to put six more songs up on the board,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and here they are...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I'll read those all one last time
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Now, Blair, remember, we are looking for the name of the act who
0:11:27 > 0:11:29had a hit with each of these songs, and you're going to try
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Blair, welcome.- Thank you.- Good to have you here. What do you do Blair?
0:11:36 > 0:11:42Er, I'm a data analyst manager for a large financial services company.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And how did you and Samantha meet each other?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Er, it happened in a casino one evening in Northampton. We were...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, it's like... It's like Bond, isn't it?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- LAUGHTER - A casino in Northampton.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56That should be song up there on the board, shouldn't it?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Casino in Northampton. - In a Casino in Northampton.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Yeah, it's a lovely old song, isn't it?- It is a nice song.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Yeah. Leo Sayer, wasn't it?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05It was Leo Sayer. LAUGHTER
0:12:05 > 0:12:07He had big hit with it. It's lovely to hear...
0:12:07 > 0:12:08You know what? It's lovely to hear
0:12:08 > 0:12:10a traditional Northampton accent on television.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- We don't hear them very often, do we? - Yeah. What is your accent, Blair?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- It's from New Zealand. - Right. Good stuff.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Now Blair, you're on 69.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The highest scorers are Matt and Sam on 100, which means 30, or less,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23means you won't even become the new high scorers.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25What do you make of the new board?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Er, I'm not a big fan of it, to be honest.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I've heard a few, I'm humming a few in my head,
0:12:30 > 0:12:31but I'm going to have to...
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm just taking a bit of a stab at Back in the USSR,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I'm hoping it was by The Rolling Stones.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39OK, The Rolling Stones, says Blair.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41There is your red line. If you can get below that,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44with The Rolling Stones, you are in the next round.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's see how many people said The Rolling Stones. Is it right?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No! I'm afraid it's not, Blair, I'm sorry.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 169.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Sorry Blair, not the Rolling Stones, I'm afraid.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Now then, Matt?- Yes?- Oh! Bit of a lifeline you've been thrown there.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Yeah.- Matt, you are also studying Drama.- Yes, I am.- How's that going?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Are you enjoying it?- Yeah, really am. It's really, really fun.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14And what do you get up to, down in Bristol
0:13:14 > 0:13:16when you're not studying drama?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I like to go and watch films,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21go for a coffee every Wednesday, that's my usual thing.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - I like to do that.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Er...caramel latte.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And, yeah, so watching films, really. Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Hanging out with friends, all that.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I like to go out for a coffee every Wednesday, do you?- I do, yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- I mean that's just... - I...- I'm just crazy like that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That's the thing. People go, "Are you nuts? What, every Wednesday?"
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I go, "Yeah, I don't care." LAUGHTER
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I'll have a coffee a week, I don't mind.- No, I'm worse, I'm even worse.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'm not... I'm not proud of it,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49but I will now have coffee pretty much every day.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50LAUGHTER
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You are absolutely kidding me.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Sometimes, first thing when I wake up.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57And is this quite a common thing? Are lots of people doing this?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59LAUGHTER
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Well, yeah, you know.- Because if so, we should maybe think about
0:14:02 > 0:14:04opening some shops to sell coffee.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07If it's popular. Have "once a week" here. "Once a day".
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Seems like everyone's talking about coffee,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12but there's nowhere to buy it. LAUGHTER
0:14:12 > 0:14:13OK, we'll do it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16We will do it. That is a brilliant idea.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Do you remember that time we were stuck in a bar?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20We should name it after that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23We should call it "Bar Stucks", "Bar Stucks Coffee".
0:14:23 > 0:14:24LAUGHTER
0:14:27 > 0:14:30ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:14:30 > 0:14:34We should do that. So, Matt, what are you going to go for?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Well, I'm going to have to go for...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm not sure if it's right,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Englishman in New York, David Bowie?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45David Bowie, says Matt, for Englishman in New York.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46There is your red line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49If you get below that with David Bowie, you're in Round Two.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Let's see if that's right, shall we?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Ooh, I'm afraid it's not.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58What a relief for Blair and Samantha.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Dismal news for Matt and Sam, I'm afraid.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- That takes your total up to 200. - Yeah, sorry Matt.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You're thinking of the David Bowie song
0:15:05 > 0:15:08A New Zealander in Northampton, I'm afraid.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11LAUGHTER
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Now then, Mike. Glad tidings for Mike.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You're through to the next round,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- even if you score 100.- Yep.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22But, yes, welcome back, welcome back to the show.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Mike... Obviously, a lot of running.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What else do you do with your spare time?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It mostly revolves around keeping fit.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30- Erm...- Really?- Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Go to the gym a bit...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35usual, watch movies, that kind of thing.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- OK.- But, yeah, mostly revolved around keeping fit at the moment.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, well there you are on 19.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Now, as I say, it doesn't actually matter what you score, but...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Look at that empty board, no-one's yet come up with anything...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49until now, Mike.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I know most of them. There's two I'm not entirely sure about,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57but if I was going to just try and get a pointless answer, then,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I would go with Do You Know the Way to San Jose
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- and I think that was Dionne Warwick.- Dionne Warwick?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Or Dionne War-wick, as some people say.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Let's see if that's right,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Dionne War-wick.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Look at that. Absolutely right.
0:16:20 > 0:16:218.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE
0:16:23 > 0:16:26That is a great score. The lowest score of the round by some margin.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Takes your total up to 27, Very well done, Mike.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Well-played, Mike, it's Dionne Warwick.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It was always... Her actual name is Warrick.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It was spelt wrong once and, er, stuck with it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- But it's Dionne Warwick. - Is it Dionne Warwick?- Yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39She refused to record that single, at first -
0:16:39 > 0:16:40she thought it was too silly -
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and it ended up being one of her biggest hits.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45She's an honorary citizen of San Jose, as well now, Dionne Warwick.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Now then, Gary. Again, you're through
0:16:48 > 0:16:51already, so that takes a little bit of the pressure off.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Welcome back, Gary.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Yeah, head-to-head last time. So close.- So close, yet so far.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yet so far. But that jackpot's getting bigger.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Maybe that was good tactics.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Anyway, there you are on 33. What are you going to go for?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06This board is all yours.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Well, I think I know all of them, apart from Waking Up in Vegas.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13So, Englishman in New York, Sting. Back in the USSR, I think would be
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The Beatles, even though that's pretty late.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Loco in Acapulco was Four Tops.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Is This the Way To Amarillo was Tony Christie.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Erm, so I'm going to have a go at Waking Up in Vegas,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24which I'm not sure about,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking Sheryl Crow.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Sheryl Crow? Waking up in Vegas.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37No! I'm afraid not.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Sheryl Crow, that scores you 100 points,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43takes your total up to 133, but, as I say, you're already through.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Admirable to go for it, as well, Gary.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Exactly what we applaud on this show.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49It's actually Katy Perry
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and would have scored 12 points.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Englishman in New York? You're right, that's Sting...
0:17:56 > 0:17:59..which scored 53. You're right about The Beatles, as well,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01not the Stones - Back in the USSR -
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and that would have scored you 23.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Loco in Acapulco is the Four Tops...
0:18:07 > 0:18:08that scores 9.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And Is This The Way to Amarillo, Tony Christie.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13would've scored you 24.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15So the best answer on the board is Dionne Warwick,
0:18:15 > 0:18:16so very well-played, Mike.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19So, at the end of our first round,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the pair heading home, with a high score of 200,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'm afraid it's Matt and Sam.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26That was hard. It was a tough board, that one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- BOTH:- It was.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30There were a couple of easy ones, but only if you know them.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- INAUDIBLE - That's the thing.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Well it's been great having you on the show.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We'll look forward to seeing you again next time, Matt and Sam.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39In the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40- Thank you very much.- Cheers. - APPLAUSE
0:18:40 > 0:18:44But for the for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So, three pairs remaining.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51obviously, at the end of this round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53We will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, there were some very high scores in that round.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58You were all helped out by our new pair, who have now left us.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Lot of quite sweaty brows, I think there, in that round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Anyway, we start off with a clean slate for this round of course.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two is...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Athletes. Can you all decide, in your pairs,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:31 > 0:19:36..as they good. IAAF/EAA Athletes of the year. Richard?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Yeah, every year, the IAAF names a World Athlete of the Year
0:19:39 > 0:19:41to one man and one woman, for track and field,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and the EAA does the European Athlete of the Year,
0:19:44 > 0:19:45again to one man and one woman.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48They've been doing that since 1988 and 1993, respectively.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We're looking for any athletes,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53so any track and field athlete, who's won either the world
0:19:53 > 0:19:56athlete of the year, or the European athlete of the year.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So the man or woman who's won either of those awards, please.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Very, very best of luck.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03OK, thanks very much, indeed. Now, Martin...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm going to say Zola Budd.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Zola Budd, says Martin. Let's see if Zola Budd's right.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Ooh.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Bad luck, Martin. Incorrect, I'm afraid. 100 points for you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Yeah, sorry. Worth a crack, but not on either list.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Now then, Stu, I'm imagining you and Mike are going to be all over this.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yeah, you can imagine that. Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You'd be wrong. - THEY LAUGH
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- We tend to do the running more so than watching it.- Right. OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I'm going to say...
0:20:42 > 0:20:43- Kelly Holmes. - Kelly Holmes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Kelly Holmes, says Stu. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51And, if it is, let's see how many people said Kelly Holmes.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52It's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Ooh, look at that! 3. Very well done, indeed, Stu.
0:21:01 > 0:21:023 for Kelly Holmes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05APPLAUSE
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Yeah, she was named the 2004 European Athlete of the Year
0:21:09 > 0:21:12for her two golds in Athens.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Thanks, Rich. Now, Blair...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Good question. Er...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20not really enjoying the game.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Oh, Blair, you're not enjoying either of these rounds.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- LAUGHTER - No, I'm loving the experience,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- just not the questions.- OK, OK.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Er, but...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I'll give it a go, going to take a chance on Carl Lewis.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Carl Lewis, says Blair. Let's see if Carl Lewis is right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43It's right. Very well done Blair.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- 4! - APPLAUSE
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Lovely low score there, Blair. Very well done, indeed.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Yeah, he was the first ever World Athlete of the Year,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Carl Lewis, in 1988. Also won it in '91 as well.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Nine gold medals in his career. - Thanks very much.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:04 > 0:22:073 the best score of that pass. Well done, Stu.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Puts you and Mike at the top of the table.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Then, up 1, to 4, where we find Blair and Samantha.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Then Martin and Gary,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17our head-to-headers from the last show, up there on 100.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Who knows what's going to happen in this next pass?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22But, Gary, we definitely need a low score from you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31OK, remember, we're looking for the name
0:22:31 > 0:22:34of any athlete who's won either of these two awards.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Samantha?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Erm...
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I'm going to try at...Jonathan Edwards?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Jonathan Edwards, says Samantha.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, get below this red line, and you are in the head-to-head.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jonathan Edwards. Is it right?
0:22:53 > 0:22:58It is right and you are through Samantha. Good answer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:042! Lowest score so far. Very well done, Samantha.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Takes your total up to 6. - APPLAUSE
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Yeah, World and European Athlete of the Year in 1995.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Broken all sorts of world records, all sorts of medals.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17One of the greats of British athletics.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Indeed. Now, Mike...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Feel like going quite safe.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26So I'm just going to go for Usain Bolt.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Usain Bolt, says Mike.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, you have to score 96 or less to get through.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34There's your red line, let's see if Usain Bolt gets you below it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38It certainly does!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- 23! - APPLAUSE
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Takes your total up to 26.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yeah, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012.
0:23:53 > 0:23:572008, he became the first man to win gold medals in the 100m and 200m
0:23:57 > 0:24:00at the Olympics in world record time.
0:24:00 > 0:24:032012, first man to defend both of those titles successfully.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Amazing athlete and also a terrific tactical decision
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- to go for him, I would say. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Now then, Gary and Martin,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm afraid you are already the high scorers,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17even before you've given your answer,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but Gary, have you got a good answer?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Erm...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Fatima Whitbread.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Fatima Whitbread, says Gary.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26No red line for you,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28as you are the high scorers, but let's see
0:24:28 > 0:24:31if Fatima Whitbread's right, and how many people said it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Ooh no. Bad luck. Well, out in a blaze of glory there, Gary.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Another 100 points takes your total up to 200.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Yeah, worth a crack, but no,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43she hasn't won either of those, I'm afraid.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44There's quite a few pointless answers.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'll give you the 1 pointers first.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You'd have got 1 point for Jan Zelezny,
0:24:48 > 0:24:501 point for Wilson Kipketer, Merlene Ottey,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Haile Gebrselassie and Carolina Kluft -
0:24:52 > 0:24:54all of those would have been 1 point.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Paula Radcliffe would have scored you 2 points.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers, though.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01The French sprinter Christophe Lemaitre
0:25:01 > 0:25:03would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The 800m world record holder David Rudisha.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Dwain Chambers was a pointless answer,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10as were fellow sprinters Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay -
0:25:10 > 0:25:12all of those pointless.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Florence Griffith-Joyner was a pointless answer,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Jackie Joyner-Kersee, there's Noureddine Morceli.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Hicham El Guerrouj also was a pointless answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Couple more...
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Phillips Idowu is a pointless answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Sonia O'Sullivan, the Irish one, and Steve Backley,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30There's an English javelin thrower who was a pointless answer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Well done, if you said any of those. Let's take a look at the top three,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38There's Usain Bolt on 23.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Jessica Ennis on 24, and right at the top, as so often, Mo Farah,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45also on 24.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48In fact, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis sharing the spoils, which is nice.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50That is nice. Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55the pair heading home, is Gary and Martin. I'm sorry.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57That wasn't a good round for you.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59And after your fantastic display last show,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03we were hoping for great things, and greater glory,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06but I'm afraid this is the end of the road for you, Martin and Gary.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It's been great having you on both shows.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Thanks very much for playing. Gary and Martin.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- BOTH:- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:26:12 > 0:26:13But, for the remaining two pairs,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- it's now time for the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Congratulations Stu and Mike, Samantha and Blair.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23You are one step closer to the final
0:26:23 > 0:26:27and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £6,250.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Now this is turning into a very decent jackpot.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We have to decide who's going to play for it in the final
0:26:36 > 0:26:38and, to do that, you are going to go head-to-head.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Obviously the big difference now is you're allowed to
0:26:40 > 0:26:42confer before you give your answers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45First pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think this is going to go right down to the wire.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53APPLAUSE
0:26:55 > 0:26:58OK, so here comes your first question.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Roman gods and goddesses. Richard?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Going to show you five pictures now,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10which act as visual clues to the names of Roman gods and goddesses.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Which Roman gods and goddesses are we representing here? Very best of luck.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17OK, there we are. Here are our five Roman gods and goddesses.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18And we have got...
0:27:36 > 0:27:41There you go. Five pictorial clues to Roman gods and goddesses.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Stu and Mike, you played best throughout the show so far,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45so you will go first.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- OK.- What do we think?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50THEY WHISPER
0:27:50 > 0:27:52OK, yeah. Yeah, I'll go with that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55OK, yeah. We're going to go for B.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58And we think that's Apollo Creed, from the Rocky movie,
0:27:58 > 0:27:59so we'll say Apollo.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Apollo, say Stu and Mike. Apollo.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Now, Samantha and Blair,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06do you fancy having a crack at all those clues?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Don't know who the lady is. - THEY CONFER
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- A is...- That's Pluto, isn't it?- Pluto.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14E, Venus? Erm...
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- C, Saturn? Shall we go for Venus? - Yeah. We're going to have to go...
0:28:18 > 0:28:21We're going to have to go for E and hope that that's Venus.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You're going to say E is Venus?
0:28:23 > 0:28:27So we have, from Stu and Mike, B, Apollo.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Let's see if that's right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32And, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Apollo.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It's absolutely right.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- Very good, indeed. 9 for Apollo. - APPLAUSE
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Now, Samantha and Blair have said that E is Venus. E, Venus.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Let's see if that's right and,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Venus.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Ooh. I'm afraid not, Venus.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Which means, Stu and Mike, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Yeah, you're absolutely right, it's Apollo Creed.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Apollo is the best answer on the board.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12There's nothing you could have done, whatever answer you went for there.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15They had you at stalemate. A is Pluto.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Big scorer, though. Would've scored you 70 points.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20C, of course, is Saturn...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23..that would have scored you 60.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27D is Diana. Diana Ross there, of course...
0:29:27 > 0:29:29would've scored 23.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32And E, it's not Venus. It's Jupiter.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34That would've scored you 20 points.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Thank you very much. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Samantha and Blair, you have to win this to stay in the game,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42but you do get to answer it first, so best of luck.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It concerns...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Only Fools and Horses.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Five clues now to facts about the classic sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Which is the most obscure answer?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues and here they come...
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36There we are. Samantha and Blair will go first.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- THEY CONFER:- Shall for we go for...?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Who played Uncle Albert? - Yeah, we know all the others.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Don't know them all, but...- Yeah.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47We're going to go for the actor who played Uncle Albert...
0:30:47 > 0:30:49is Buster Merryfield.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Buster Merryfield, say Samantha and Blair. Buster Merryfield.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Now then, Stu and Mike, the board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Do you know any of these? - STU LAUGHS
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Well, it's "Lovely Jubbly". - "Lovely Jubbly."
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Got it in my head they went to Miami in 1991, but I'm not sure.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Raquel's son is Damien. Damien? - I was thinking Damien as well.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- What do you think?- I think we should go for Damien. Yeah?
0:31:11 > 0:31:12OK. OK, we'll go with Damien.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Damien.- Name of Del Boy and Raquel's son, Damien.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16OK, we're going to say Damien.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Samantha and Blair have said Buster Merryfield,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20the actor who played Uncle Albert.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It's right.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- 21, for Buster Merryfield. - APPLAUSE
0:31:33 > 0:31:34That's a good answer.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Stu and Mike have gone for Damien,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41the name of Del Boy and Raquel's son.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Let's see if that's right and,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48It's right.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Ooh. 79. That's a... - APPLAUSE
0:31:50 > 0:31:52..a popular answer there.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Well done, Samantha and Blair.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Exactly what you needed to do. You're back in the game,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- after two questions, it's 1-1. - That's a punishing score.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Buster Merryfield, the best answer on that board, as well.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Quite a high scoring board. Now, the other ones.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06"Lovely Jubbly", of course...
0:32:07 > 0:32:12..would've scored you 92 points. How about that?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14The American city was Miami...
0:32:16 > 0:32:17..quite right, would've scored you 25.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20And the spin-off series, with the lovely John Challis was
0:32:20 > 0:32:24The Green, Green Grass, would've scored you 35 points.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Thanks very much, indeed. So it comes down to the third question.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through
0:32:29 > 0:32:31to the final to play for that decent jackpot.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Chancellors of Germany, Richard.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40We're going to show you the names of five people
0:32:40 > 0:32:42who've been Chancellors of Germany since 1949.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44We're going to give you their first name
0:32:44 > 0:32:46and the first letter of their surname.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Can you give us the most obscure answer? Good luck.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK, let's reveal our five German chancellors, and here they are.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Stu and Mike, you will go first this time.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14THEY WHISPER
0:33:16 > 0:33:19OK. There's one that's really annoying me,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22but we're going to go with Helmut Schmidt, the top one.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Helmut Schmidt, say Stu and Mike.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Now, Samantha and Blair, over to you.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Talk us through the board if you can.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Don't think we'll be able to go through the board.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I think it's Helmut Kohl, is the second one.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Go for that, then, because I don't know any, other than the first one.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41We're not sure on the bottom three - Willy, Kurt or Konrad -
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- so I think we'll go with Helmut Kohl.- Helmut Kohl.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47So, we have Helmuts Schmidt and Kohl.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Stu and Mike went with Helmut Schmidt.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Helmut Schmidt.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55It's right.
0:33:59 > 0:34:0130.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03APPLAUSE
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Not a bad score for the Schmidt.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Samantha and Blair have gone for Helmut Kohl.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13let's see how many of our 100 people said, Kohl.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2041.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Which means, very well done, Stu and Mike.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28After three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Yes, Stu and Mike win the battle of the Helmuts. Very well done.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35The best answer on the board is the third one,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37which is Kurt Georg Kiesinger -
0:34:37 > 0:34:39that would've scored you three points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Terrific answer if you got that at home.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Below that, Willy Brandt...
0:34:44 > 0:34:45..which would have scored you 36.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48And the bottom one would've won the point, as well.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52He was the first Chancellor of West Germany, Konrad Adenauer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54He would have scored you 16 points.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's Samantha and Blair.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Well, I knew that was going to go right down to the wire and so it proved.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But I'm afraid it was that first answer of yours,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Venus, that set you back, I think, there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11But, anyway, we will look forward to seeing you next time.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14It's been great having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing, Samantha and Blair.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:20But for Stu and Mike it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Congratulations, Stu and Mike.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You've fought off all the competition
0:35:26 > 0:35:29and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:36 > 0:35:41and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £6,250.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48So what happened? Last time you left at the end of the first round.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51What have you done? Have you gone away and been eating fish?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I have, actually, yes.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Amazing, amazing. You've aced it.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Now, as always, you get to choose your category for this
0:35:57 > 0:36:00final round and there are four options to choose from. They are...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Oh, New Zealand?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- That's a shame, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15That would have been £6,250 easily won, wouldn't it?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Yeah. Veteran Singer/Songwriters. Comic Novels.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- You like comics. - I didn't want to say that too loud.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26He's a big comic geek.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Are you really?- Yeah. - Well, there you are. Surely.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Let's go for the comics. - Take a punt?- Yeah.- Comic Novels.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Comic Novels, it is.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36It's not those sort of comics, I'm afraid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I'll show you your three categories, though.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42We are looking for any novel or collection of short stories
0:36:42 > 0:36:45by PG Wodehouse that has the word Jeeves in its title,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48so according to the PG Wodehouse Society website.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Not omnibus editions, just the novels and short stories.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Any of the Adrian Mole books...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56or any Douglas Adams novel, please.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00So, any Jeeves story, any Adrian Mole book or any Douglas Adams novel.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Very, very best of luck.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:06 > 0:37:10and all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Douglas Adams novels? - Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. - Yeah, which would be too high.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Adrian Mole? The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole aged...something.
0:37:30 > 0:37:3413 and 3/4? Which would be quite high.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Is Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years, I think is one.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Try that.- Yeah, keep that.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Jeeves, we could just make one up.- Yeah, Jeeves and Wooster.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Jeeves and Wooster Go To Town. Jeeves and Wooster go to town.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years, we could have.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Maybe, The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged...
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- What age was he, though? - I think it was, like, 12 3/4.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- He was nearly a teenager or something like that. - Yeah, maybe that was it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Ten seconds left.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Douglas Adams.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14There's that one but it's going to be too high. OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15We're done.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18OK. There we are. What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:18 > 0:38:24- OK.- We're going to go for... - Adrian Mole books.- OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27We're going to say Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32And The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 12 3/4.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 12 3/4. And...
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Jeeves and Wooster Go To Town.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Jeeves and Wooster Go To Town.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- And that's in the Jeeves stories. - Oh, I see, yes.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48It could be a Douglas Adams, but...
0:38:48 > 0:38:53Of those three, which is your best shot for the pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Adrian Mole. Wilderness.- OK. The Wilderness Years we'll put last.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59I think the Jeeves and Wooster.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Jeeves And Wooster Go To Town. OK, we'll put that first.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Well, no denying there are three answers on the board...
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and answers are good.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Who knows, some of those might be right, some might be very,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24very low scoring, even pointless.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27If one of those is pointless and you won £6,250,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29what would you do with it, Stu?
0:39:29 > 0:39:34Erm, I've got a friend who recently moved to Hong Kong,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36so I would love to go out and visit her over there.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38OK. Mike?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Probably some of the same.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I think I'm long overdue a holiday, so that would be quite nice,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46and probably put some of it to the same charity
0:39:46 > 0:39:48that I'm running the marathon for.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Very good. OK. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Let's hope one of those answers is pointless.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Jeeves And Wooster Goes To Town was your first answer.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Fair to say, probably your least confident answer.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Let's find out if it's correct, then let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05If it is, it will win you £6,250. Jeeves And Wooster Go To Town.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08- No.- I know.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Your second answer was an Adrian Mole novel.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25In this case, you have said The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 12 3/4.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Let's find out if it's right. Let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30If it is it will win you £6,250.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33How many people said The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 12 3/4?
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Ooh, bad luck. I'm afraid that, I guess that must be it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46But everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Which is Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51This was the one you were most confident about.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55You thought this was probably your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Again, it has to be correct.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04So, for £6,250, let's find out how many people said Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Is it pointless?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10It's right.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Well, your first answer, Jeeves And Wooster Goes To Town was incorrect,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16as was The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 12 3/4.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18The Wilderness Years, though,
0:41:18 > 0:41:22is taking us all the way down to pointless. Look at that!
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Wow.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Well, you pulled that out of the bag. That is fantastic.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Can I give you a hug?- Yeah, yeah.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Wow.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Well, that flew out of a clear blue sky, didn't it?
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Congratulations.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years was a pointless answer,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53which means you go home with that jackpot of £6,250.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Very, very well done, Stu and Mike.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- How about that?- Yeah.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03I tell you what, giving Stu and Mike
0:42:03 > 0:42:06that category is like asking Blair about New Zealand.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08It's stuff you guys know.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09That's amazing. Very well done.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15For Jeeves, you could've had....
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Let's take a look at Adrian Mole,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29as we've got the world's two leading experts here.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Let's take a look at the Douglas Adams.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44No points at all for Life, The Universe And Everything
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and his unfinished novel that was published posthumously,
0:42:47 > 0:42:48The Salmon Of doubt.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52particularly Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Who knew, who knew? And congratulations, guys.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Stu and Mike,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01who go away with today's jackpot of £6,250.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02APPLAUSE
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
