0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the game show where you're always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm Mark and this is the youngest of my three children, Nay,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and we're from Dorset.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number two.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I'm Kate, and this is my friend Carrie, and we live in Essex.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Couple number three.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Gina, this is my daughter Francesca,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we're from Solihull.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, there. I'm Robbie, this is my housemate Jamie,
0:01:01 > 0:01:02and we're from the University of Leeds.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Thanks very much to all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:10 > 0:01:13as it goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Like a dicky thermostat, he's on 24-7.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Hello, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Of course, Dicky Thermostat is my stage name.- It is, yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- How are you today? - I'm very well.- That's good.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33A cracking show last time, a cracking jackpot win as well
0:01:33 > 0:01:36from Rob and Kirsten, they were brilliant throughout.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38They really were terrific and walked away with the money as well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Only got one pair returning from that, that's Jamie and Robbie.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Slightly a different story for you two on the last show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Knocked out in the first round. - Yeah.- 200 points.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'd say it was an inglorious exit.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51You know that the 400 Club is a very, very exclusive group.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So just make sure you don't join it, OK?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I know those 400 Club parties are fun.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Oh, they're amazing. When people can remember to turn up,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01they are amazing. LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, as you'll have gathered, Rob and Kirsten won the jackpot
0:02:06 > 0:02:09last time, so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:19All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:19 > 0:02:21at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24That's it, the only rule you need to remember.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Our first category for today is...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Authors.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Authors. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32who's going to go second...
0:02:32 > 0:02:36And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43dystopian novels.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Dystopian novels. Richard. - I know, get us, eh?- Yeah!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Going all fancy all of a sudden, aren't we?- Yeah!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53It's normally Spice Girls singles or something!
0:02:53 > 0:02:54LAUGHTER
0:02:54 > 0:02:57On each board, we're going to show you seven novels or novellas,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01dystopian novels or novellas, you just have to tell us who wrote them all, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03So it's going to be 14 authors to guess at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07OK, so who are the authors of these seven dystopian novels or novellas?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09And here they are.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I'll read those all again.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Nay, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- What do you do, Nay?- I work at the University of Southampton.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39And what sort of things do you do there?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I work in the student office for geography,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44so I just do student liaison exams, assessments...
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- So, you do a little bit of administration in the faculty itself?- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I see. And what's Nay short for?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Naomi.- Naomi, excellent.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Now, what about our dystopian novels?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I had a bit of a panic, but, thank goodness...- It's not so bad!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00It's not so bad!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I did Lord Of The Flies for GCSE, so William Golding.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Right, William Golding says Nay.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many
0:04:07 > 0:04:09of our 100 people similarly said William Golding.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Not bad, look at that. 16, Nay,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21good start to the round, good start to the show.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- APPLAUSE - William Golding.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Good start, Nay, very well played.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29As you say, did it at GCSE, everyone has done it, haven't they?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Which essentially means that 84 people have forgotten who wrote it,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35cos we know we all knew it at some point.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38If anyone's worried about what dystopia actually means,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40it's just another name for heartburn.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41LAUGHTER
0:04:44 > 0:04:45That's right, isn't it?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48No, dystopia is, like, a bleak, imagined future is a dystopia,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51so these are all novels which feature that sort of thing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Thanks very much indeed. Carrie.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What do you do, Carrie?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I work part-time in a hospice.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Good for you. And what otherwise occupies you?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Er, I breed sheep.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Y-You... Stop there for a second!- OK.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- You breed sheep?- Yes. - What sort of sheep?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Hebridean, which are, sort of, nearly black.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14What's the best thing about Hebridean?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Is it the wool, is it the...? - They're very easy to look after,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20so they have their lambs on their own and you really don't have
0:05:20 > 0:05:22to look after them at all, so they're perfect.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24They just keep the grass down, so they're perfect.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- There are farmers watching now, spitting.- Yes.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- "Lamb on their own, do they?" - When people say they breed animals,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I always think it's a bit unfair. The animals are doing some of the work themselves, aren't they?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35LAUGHTER To be fair!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- You basically just keep them.- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39You keep them, you leave them well alone,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- and oh! Suddenly every year there are a few more.- Yes.- OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45That's essentially saying like my local pub breeds humans.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47LAUGHTER
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Carrie, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Well, I think I do know quite a few of them,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58but I think I'm going to go for...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01A Clockwork Orange and Anthony Burgess.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Anthony Burgess says Carrie for A Clockwork Orange. Let's see if that's right.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Let's see how many people said Anthony Burgess.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's a good answer, look at that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Anthony Burgess down to 6. - APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That's a great answer, Carrie. Very well done indeed.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Well done.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Very good answer, well played.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26And again, you know, these dystopian novels,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29they bleakly imagine the future and all that kind of stuff,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but a lot of the stuff in A Clockwork Orange hasn't come true,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36and it directly led to the Chocolate Orange.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38LAUGHTER
0:06:38 > 0:06:40So sometimes there are happy, unintended consequences.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh, silver linings there.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Gina, welcome to Pointless.- Hello, there.- Great to have you here, Gina.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48What do you do?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I work for the Office for National Statistics,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and I interview passengers at Birmingham Airport.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- You stop them as they're walking through?- I stop them, yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- As they... - HE CLICKS
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Can I just...?- Yeah, we click them through, and every tenth one, we interview.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You wouldn't just do us a favour? Next time you stop someone...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I can see, this is going to work perfectly,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10just give them 100 seconds or so to name as many states that
0:07:10 > 0:07:13don't contain the letter I or something like that.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Yeah, that would be good. - That would be brilliant. Thank you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Erm, OK, now, Gina, what are you going to go for?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Well, this isn't a good round for me,
0:07:22 > 0:07:27but I'm going to have a stab at one of them, but I'm not sure.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32George Orwell says Gina for Nineteen Eighty-Four.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said George Orwell.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37It's right.
0:07:41 > 0:07:4253. It's a big score,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46but it's right. It's a lot better than 100.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Yeah, well played, Gina.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50As you say, an awful lot better than 100, isn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Robbie, welcome back.- Hi.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Now, you had a shocker last time. - Yes. A real shocker.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01We were looking for monarchs between Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Jamie had given us Edward VI.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06We were told it was a bit too early.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08You gave us Edward V.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Well... - LAUGHTER
0:08:12 > 0:08:15No, I know what you meant. You meant to say George V.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I did, yeah.- Of course you did.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, Robbie, tell us about yourself.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I'm from the University of Leeds.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- I do student radio and I also write for a music magazine.- Excellent.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Do you remember what you study there?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I study English and philosophy. - There we go, English and philosophy.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Yeah.- So, let's just discard the philosophy for a second or two.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Let's focus on that English. How's the board behind me?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, I knew three.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42They were Lord Of The Flies, Nineteen Eighty-Four,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and A Clockwork Orange.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46So they've gone.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- OK.- I think I could take a punt at one more,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50but I think I only know his surname.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Is that a problem?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yes. LAUGHTER
0:08:56 > 0:08:59You could put "the seventh" after it, if that would help.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Er, going to go for Never Let Me Go,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and I think his surname is Ishiguro,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11..and...I think his first name begins with K,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13so I'm going to go for...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I don't even know.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Kamize Ishiguro, perhaps.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Kamize Ishiguro says Robbie.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Kamize Ishiguro.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, I'm sorry, Robbie.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35That's really tough, but I'm afraid it is incorrect.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- That scores you 100 points. Sorry, Robbie.- Really unlucky, Robbie.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You're so close. It's Kazuo Ishiguro,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I'm afraid, and...it was a pointless answer as well.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45AUDIENCE MOANS
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Oh, no. That's an honourable 100 though, isn't it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49I mean, it really is, yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Although you are three quarters of the way to the 400 Club!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53LAUGHTER
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Those parties are brilliant, I'll tell you now.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Let's look through the rest of these.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00The Day Of The Triffids is John Wyndham.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03That would have scored you 22. The Road is Cormac McCarthy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That would have scored you 1, a terrific answer.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Do you know who wrote The Running Man?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- A very famous author, not one of his most famous books. - Oh, no, I do, yes. Stephen King.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It would have scored you 4 points.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Very well done if you got quite a few on that board. There's four of those under 10.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:22 > 0:10:236, the best score of that pass.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Well done, Carrie, it puts you and Kate at the top of the table,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30then up to 16 where we find Nay and Mark, and then up to 53,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Gina and Francesca, and then up to 100 where we find Robbie and Jamie.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35That is so, so unlucky.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Jamie, it's not over yet.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Don't worry, you get the first dibs on the next board.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Find a nice low-scoring answer there
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and who knows what will happen later on. Best of luck.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54OK, we're going to put seven more dystopian novels on the board,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and here they are. We've got...
0:11:10 > 0:11:11I'll read those all again.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Jamie, welcome back. Tell us what you do, Jamie.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Erm, I'm a student at Leeds as well and I study politics.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29And in your spare time, Jamie, what do you get up to?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Erm, I also write for a music magazine,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36and play a bit of golf and football as well.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40OK, now, Jamie, you know what you have to do here.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Yeah. Erm...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46This is definitely not my, erm...special subject,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50but, erm...I'm going to go for The Time Machine,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and I think it's, erm...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55HG Wells.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58HG Wells says Jamie. HG Wells for The Time Machine.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00No red line for you, as you're the highest scorers.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said HG Wells.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It's a good answer, Jamie. Well done.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10HG Wells, absolutely on the money.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- 42. - APPLAUSE
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- 142, your total.- Well done, Jamie. That's a relief, isn't it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And you might just have kept yourself in the round,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23still a little chance there. Well played.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Thanks very much indeed. Now, Francesca, welcome.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Great to have you here. Francesca, what do you do?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Erm, I'm a student at sixth form.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And do you know what you're going to do when you finish your A-levels?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Erm, hopefully get into university if I do OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- What do you want to study? - Maths and economics, hopefully.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42OK, and what do you like getting up to when you're not working?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I have a part-time job at a pub, which is fun.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- That sounds fun. - I also play the drums.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Now, that's fun.- Yeah, I know. - How long have you done that for?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Er, about three, four years. Not that long.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Do you use any ear protection?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- No!- Cos I used to play the drums and I am now stone deaf.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03So, yeah, headphones.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Gina, make sure she puts... Just put little things in your ears.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- OK.- Very important.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10OK, now, Francesca,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13what are you going to go for? You have to score 88 or less.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Well...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I don't know any of them.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I only know The Hunger Games cos it's a film,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21so I'm going to have to make up a name, so...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23You couldn't set that to music
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- and make it sound sweeter to Jamie and Robbie over there.- Yeah!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- LAUGHTER - Er, so...
0:13:29 > 0:13:34The Hunger Games, I'm going to say Stephanie...Smith?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Oh, no, Jamie and Robbie were so excited there,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38thinking maybe you were going to get it wrong.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You've gone for Stephanie Smith.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I don't know where that came from, but...- I know.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46There's your red line. If you get below that with Stephanie Smith,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50you're in the next round. Let's see how many people said Stephanie Smith.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Sorry.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm sorry, Francesca, an incorrect answer there,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01scoring you 100 points, taking your total up to 153.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Er, yeah, sorry, I needed Stephanie Smith the Seventh, I'm afraid.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06LAUGHTER
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Kate. Here from Essex.- Yes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14What do you do up in Essex, what keeps you busy up there?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I breed rare-breed pigs, and...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Now, yeah, yeah, yeah!- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Shall I stop there?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You keep pigs, and, magically, there seem to be more
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- and more each year?- Yeah, yeah, I do.- Erm, do you eat them?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I think I shouldn't answer that, as this is telly, maybe. I don't know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- OK.- Yeah, I do, yeah, I do.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33- LAUGHTER - That's OK!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Yeah, I do.- That's fine.- Yep. - And they're delicious.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And they're very sweet when they're alive.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Yeah, they're very sweet when they're small,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42but when they get bigger, they're not so sweet.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- They do...make a mess, don't they, of course?- Yeah, they do. Yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47You're saying that they're sweet when they're alive,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and they're savoury when they're not alive? LAUGHTER
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- That's the gist of it. - Yeah, I hear you.- Mm.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Erm, so then, Kate, you're through to the next round.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57This is good news.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What are you going to go for on that board?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well, I'm really deliberating
0:15:02 > 0:15:04cos there are two I think I know
0:15:04 > 0:15:06but I'm going to live on the edge
0:15:06 > 0:15:07and I'm going to go for
0:15:07 > 0:15:11The Handmaid's Tale which I think is Margaret Atwood.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Margaret Atwood, says Kate, for The Handmaid's Tale.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18No red line for you because you're already through.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22It's absolutely right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- APPLAUSE - Two.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Two for The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Takes your total up to 8, the lowest total of the round.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Very well done, indeed, Kate. - Great answer, Kate.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Very impressive stuff from podium two, there.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- What an amazing author Margaret Atwood is.- Yeah.- Genuinely.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Just things in such different genres, all of which are amazing.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Now, Mark, welcome.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53What do you do, Mark?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm a managing director of a software IT company.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We've got offices in Bristol
0:15:58 > 0:16:02and two amazing teams in Moldova and Romania.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Very good. So, what do you do in your spare time, Mark?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Well, we've currently got a bit of a Grand Designs going on,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09at the moment, down in the South of France.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I've got a team down there at the minute building a brand-new,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15highly-spec'd, Gascon farmhouse.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Would Kevin McCloud like it, do you think?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18I think he'd approve, actually.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Excellent.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Now, Mark, strictly speaking, it doesn't matter what you go for.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I just think it's amazing
0:16:25 > 0:16:28cos I don't even know any those books, never heard any of them.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30So, what I'm going to do is just pump for an author
0:16:30 > 0:16:34that I know was even alive at the time that the book was written.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- So, I'll go for the 1953 one.- Yeah?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Fahrenheit 451 and I'll say Nevil Shute.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Nevil Shute.- I think he was alive at that time.- Nevil Chute, says Mark.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Let's see if that's right and if it is
0:16:46 > 0:16:48let's see how many people said Nevil Shute.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50No red line, you're already through.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Nope, not Nevil Shute,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm afraid, Mark. Takes your total up to 116.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Yeah, worth a punt, though. Let's go through the whole of the board.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05The Hunger Games is Suzanne Collins.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Would have scored you 6. Do you know Fahrenheit 451?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Ray Bradbury.- Ray Bradbury, yes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The burning point of paper, isn't it? Would have scored you 8 points.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, that's the book that
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Blade Runner is based on and it's by the sci-fi writer Philip K Dick.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Would have scored you 2.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The Children Of Men, someone else who could write in different genres,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26PD James.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- There you are.- 1 point for that. And Brave New World...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- This is Aldous Huxley. - Aldous Huxley, yep.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Would have scored 33. So the best answer up there is PD James.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39At the end of our first round the pair who are heading home
0:17:39 > 0:17:41with their high score of 153, I'm sorry to say,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Francesca and Gina, it is you.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We'll see you again next time. Look forward to that
0:17:45 > 0:17:47very much indeed and I'm sure we'll see much more of you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50But thanks for playing in the meantime. Francesca and Gina.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51APPLAUSE
0:17:53 > 0:17:55But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:02OK, so, now we're down to three pairs.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Obviously, at the end of this round we say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Music videos. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:15 > 0:18:16who's going to go second.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:33 > 0:18:37OK. The 100 Greatest Videos list from the NME. Richard.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Yes, this was from July 2011, the NME published a list of the 100
0:18:40 > 0:18:42greatest music videos of all time.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45We need any artist who had any video on that list, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Very best of luck.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So, Mark, we come to you first.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I'm going to go back cos I can remember in the early days,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59when videos first came out, there was somebody called Adam Ant
0:18:59 > 0:19:02who may not be on the greatest, but he certainly made a load of videos.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06OK, you're going to say Adam Ant. OK, let's see if Adam Ant is right.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Adam Ant.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Bad luck, Mark.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yeah, sorry, Mark. You do remember those videos, right?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23LAUGHTER
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Just wondering if they would quite
0:19:25 > 0:19:27make anyone's list of the 100 greatest.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's true. Kate?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Kate, what are you going to go for?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Um...
0:19:36 > 0:19:41This is a really bad category for me. I'm just going to go for...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45..the first person who just popped into my head which was
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Robbie Williams. - Robbie Williams, says Kate.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Let's see if that's right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Robbie Williams.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00NME are the letters that are standing out to me there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Yes, Robbie Williams, I'm afraid, another incorrect answer,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05scores you 100 points.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Yeah, these sort of rounds always go well, don't they?- Yes, don't they?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- No Robbie Williams on the list, I'm afraid.- Now, then. Robbie.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Yeah, um... I really ought to know a few.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I've got a few names in my head.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And I think I'm going to plump for Muse.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Muse, says Robbie. Let's see if Muse is right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Muse.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's right. There we are.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41That's a pointless answer! Very, very well done indeed, Robbie.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:20:42 > 0:20:46That adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking it up to £1,250.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Scores you nothing.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51It wipes the slate clean of all previous errors.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'm not going to get my invitation any more to the club.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Well, you might be able to come and speak to the club. - LAUGHTER
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Very well done, Robbie. Great answer.- I wouldn't come and speak to the club.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06They're quite fidgety, I have to say. We owed you a pointless answer, so very well played.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Number 27 on the list with the video for Knights of Cydonia.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Only two of them between the three teams.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Robbie and Jamie on nothing.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Then we go to the other extreme - 100,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20where we kind Kate and Carrie and Mark and Nay.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24So, yes, Carrie and Nay, it's between the pair of you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33OK. Now, Jamie...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37The gauntlet has been thrown down by Robbie, who got a pointless answer.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Do you think you can get a pointless answer?- Um...- Come on.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm not sure I've got a pointless answer and I'm debating
0:21:44 > 0:21:48whether or not to take a risk or to just kind of play it safe.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51And I'm going to say Janet Jackson.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56LAUGHTER
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Beloved by the NME. Let's see. OK. Janet Jackson. Here's your red line.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Let's see how good a stab that was.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07If you get below that red line, you are definitely in the next round.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Sorry. That's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Your total is 100 points.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21That's the definition of swings and roundabouts on that last podium.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- Janet Jackson not on the NME's list, I'm afraid.- No.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- No.- Not so much.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- Now, Carrie, we're learning about the NME here, aren't we?- Yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- OK.- The NME within.- I'm trying to think of something they would like.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So I'm going back a bit and I'm going to say Peter Gabriel.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel, says Carrie.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45You're all joint high scorers at this point on 100,
0:22:45 > 0:22:50so no red line for you. Let's see how many people said Peter Gabriel, if it's right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53It's right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Very well done indeed, Carrie.
0:22:58 > 0:22:5913.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01APPLAUSE
0:23:01 > 0:23:03113 is your total.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Well played, Carrie. Nicely chosen. Always made very good videos, Peter Gabriel.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Funnily enough, not for Sledgehammer on this list, but for Shock the Monkey.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Ah.- Yep.- There you go.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Which is how you breed monkeys, of course.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19LAUGHTER
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Thank you. Now, Nay.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Nay, you have to score 12 or less, just so you know. 12 or less.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I was hoping they got 200, so I could have gone with Queen,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34safe option. But I'll have to risk it with Green Day.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Green Day. Green Day. There's your red line.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40If you get below that red line with Green Day,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41you are in the head-to-head round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Green Day.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I thought that was going to go all the way down,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57but that scored you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Yeah, not on the list, I'm afraid. All sorts of bands that would have seen you through.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You could have said Nirvana for 7, Blur for 5, Lady Gaga for 4,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Radiohead for 3, Eminem for 2, Daft Punk for 2.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Lots of answers there. There's loads of pointless answers,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12so well done at home if you got any of these.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Let's take a look at the first few.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17You could have had Bonnie Tyler, funnily enough, Chris Isaak,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Eurythmics, some of the more mainstream names on the list there.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25You could have had Hot Chip, Human League or Metallica.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Pulp, Sigur Ros, you could have had the Verve.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You could have had Arcade Fire, the Beastie Boys,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32always made brilliant videos. You could have had
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, Missy Elliott, My Chemical Romance,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Nine Inch Nails, Chemical Brothers, the Cure, the Streets,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41the Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Weezer. All of those were pointless.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, there was money to be made in this round.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let's take a look at the top three now.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Madonna with 18,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Queen with 24 - wouldn't have seen you through,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52so you had to take a risk,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and Michael Jackson with 31.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of round two, the pair heading home
0:24:58 > 0:25:02with their high score of 200, I'm afraid, it's Nay and Mark.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04You might have said any of those, mightn't you?
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Pretty much everything else in my music library, yeah.- I'm sorry.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Well, we'll see you again next time.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Thanks very much for playing, Nay and Mark.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15APPLAUSE
0:25:15 > 0:25:18But for Jamie and Robbie, and Carrie and Kate,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- it's now time for our head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Congratulations, Carrie and Kate, Jamie and Robbie.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You're now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:25:30 > 0:25:34to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, very well done, Carrie and Kate. Straight in.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Your first appearance on Pointless and there you are,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44our low-scoring pair. And Jamie and Robbie, we made it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48We made it. You can put your heads together now though,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50so I think this is going to be close.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:25:58 > 0:26:01OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- THEY GIGGLE - Champions League penalty scorers.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10A bit of a problem, Carrie and Kate?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures of people
0:26:13 > 0:26:16who scored in the penalty shoot-out between Manchester United and Chelsea
0:26:16 > 0:26:20in the Champions League final. Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23OK, let's reveal our five footballers and here they are.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25We have got...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, there we are. Five penalty scorers.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Now, Carrie and Kate, you're our low scorers so far,
0:26:54 > 0:26:55so you will go first.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Oh, this is such a good round for us(!)
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Luckily, we do recognise two and they're probably both
0:27:03 > 0:27:09very high scoring, so let's go for D, Ashley Cole.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12OK, D, Ashley Cole.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17There we are. D, Ashley Cole. Jamie and Robbie.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Um... We're going to go for E, Michael Ballack.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23E, Michael Ballack, say Jamie and Robbie.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26OK, so we have Ashley Cole versus Michael Ballack.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Carrie and Kate said Ashley Cole for D.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Ashley Cole.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35It's right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- 45. - APPLAUSE
0:27:42 > 0:27:4445 for Ashley Cole.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Now, Jamie and Robbie, meanwhile, have said Michael Ballack for E.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Michael Ballack.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55It's right.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58And it beats Ashley Cole.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Very well done indeed. Down it goes to 12.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03APPLAUSE
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Good answer, Jamie and Robbie.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07You've nicked it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- After one question, you're up 1-0. - Well played, Jamie and Robbie.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Let's take a look at the others in reverse order, I think.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You knew Ryan Giggs.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19You went for the right one cos Ryan Giggs would have scored you 64.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- The second one, do you know that one, gents?- Yeah, Nani.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25That is Nani. Slightly better scorer than Ballack.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Would have only scored you ten points.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Do you know A though? - Is it Juliano Belletti?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32If you'd said it, would have been a pointless answer.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Yeah, very well done.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36How many almost pointless answers are you guys going to get?!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- Hopefully, we'll save them for the end, if we get there.- Pull them out.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Carrie and Kate, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47so best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Great Britons, Richard.- Going to show you five anagrams now of people
0:28:53 > 0:28:56who finished in the top ten of the 100 Greatest Britons list.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Can you tell us who they are, please? - OK, thank you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come..
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35OK. Jamie and Robbie, you will go first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41THEY WHISPER
0:29:42 > 0:29:44So, we think we've got three.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48We're going for the bottom one and we think it's Oliver Cromwell.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51OK, you're going to go for Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Now, Carrie and Kate, over to you.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:56 > 0:30:01Well, the top one, we think, is Winston Churchill.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05And the second up, I think, is William Shakespeare.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08But I think we'll go for the middle one,
0:30:08 > 0:30:13- the Scrawlier Hand, Charles Darwin. - Charles Darwin, say Carrie and Kate.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Charles Darwin. So we have Oliver Cromwell, we have Charles Darwin.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Oliver Cromwell, say Jamie and Robbie.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Oliver Cromwell, absolutely right, of course.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's a good score.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Look at that. 15. Well done.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- APPLAUSE - 15.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Meanwhile, Carrie and Kate have said
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Charles Darwin for the one in the middle.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Charles Darwin.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48It's right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- And it wins you the point. Very well done. 3 for Charles Darwin! - APPLAUSE
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You're back in the game, Carrie and Kate.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Well played, Carrie and Kate.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's the best answer on the board. Very nicely played.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09You were right about Winston Churchill,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11but he would have scored you 29.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14You were right about William Shakespeare
0:31:14 > 0:31:16and he would have scored you 20.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Do you know that last one, Aconite Swan?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Any ideas?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- It's Isaac Newton.- Oh!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Yes, exactly. 4 points for that.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Thank you very much indeed. Well, here comes your third question.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- The Who, Richard.- Five clues now to the rock band The Who.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48OK, let's reveal our five Who clues and here they come.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49We've got...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I'll read those all again.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Now, Carrie and Kate, you will go first.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Mm, goodness. Right. OK.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Well, um... We know three.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Maybe we should go for the top one.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39OK, I think we're going to go for the top one, which is Quadrophenia.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Quadrophenia, say Carrie and Kate.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45Now, Jamie and Robbie, talk us through that board, if you can.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Um... OK, so...
0:32:47 > 0:32:52We're not really sure about...many of these.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55No idea about their first UK chart hit.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57The guitarist is Keith Moon, I think.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01But we're going to go for UK city that features in the title of their
0:33:01 > 0:33:061970 live album and we're going to go for...our hometown Leeds.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Leeds. You're going to go for Leeds.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11So, we have Quadrophenia and we have Leeds.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Carrie and Kate said Quadrophenia for the top one.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Quadrophenia.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22It's right.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- 24 for Quadrophenia. - APPLAUSE
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Now, Jamie and Robbie have gone for Leeds,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39the UK city that features in the title of their 1970 live album.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Let's see if that's right, Leeds,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46It is right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52And you win the point. Look at that.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Very well done indeed. 13.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56APPLAUSE
0:33:56 > 0:33:5913 for Leeds, which means, Jamie and Robbie, after three questions,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- you're through to the final 2-1. - Well played, gents.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Was that some local knowledge coming into play there?- Yeah.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09They tell you on the open day. This is the canteen, The Who played here.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Exactly right. Often called one of the greatest live albums ever made,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15The Who Live At Leeds. A terrific album. Very well played.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Their first ever chart hit as The Who was I Can't Explain.
0:34:20 > 0:34:221 point, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Keith Moon is the drummer. The guitarist is Pete Townshend.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Would have scored you 25.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33And voted by Rolling Stone readers the greatest bassist of all time...
0:34:33 > 0:34:34- Roger.- John.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Oh...!
0:34:36 > 0:34:38LAUGHTER
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Would have scored you 16.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Roger Entwistle was voted the third best bassist of all time. LAUGHTER
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- John's brother. Ran in the family. - Yeah.- Someone at home will be...
0:34:46 > 0:34:50If you are Roger Entwistle, please just tweet one of us
0:34:50 > 0:34:51and let us know you're around.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I'm afraid, it's Carrie and Kate.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Haven't put a foot wrong pretty much the whole way through the show.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Nothing wrong with any of your answers here either.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07But Live At Leeds beats you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09But it means we get to see you again next time,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13when maybe you'll make it all the way through to the final.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I wouldn't be at all surprised. Thanks very much, meantime.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:22But for Jamie and Robbie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Congratulations, Jamie and Robbie. You fought off all the competition
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:39 > 0:35:44and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Wow! It's all changed around.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50We were talking about you maybe joining the 400 club.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52It hasn't happened.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- I think golf for Jamie.- Yeah. That would be a good one.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Formula One and geography as well. Anything flag, country, related.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- That would be quite good.- OK. Very best of luck.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08As always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:36:08 > 0:36:11we put up on the board. Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Today's selection looks like this...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Contemporary comic actors?
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Do you think?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Or Tyne and Wear?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- David Bowie albums? - I don't know any.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33What do you think then?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We'll have to go contemporary comic actors.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- It's the only... - OK, we'll do that then.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40OK, um... They're not...
0:36:40 > 0:36:42None of them really appeal to us too much,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44but we're going to go for contemporary comic actors.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Contemporary comic actors, Richard.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49We've got three very big contemporary comic stars.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:52 > 0:36:56up to the end of January 2014 for which Jonah Hill received
0:36:56 > 0:36:59an acting credit, for which Seth Rogen received an acting credit,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02or for which Michael Cera received an acting credit.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Any feature film made for cinema release up to the end of January 2014
0:37:06 > 0:37:08starring any of those gentlemen, please.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:12 > 0:37:15and all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of the answers
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Your time starts now.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25I've got a few. 21 Jump Street is a good one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Jonah Hill is in Wolf Of Wall Street. He's also in Moneyball.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Which I think is a good answer. - Yeah.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Seth Rogen has a really tiny part in Step Brothers.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- With the job interview and one of them...- That's good.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- So Step Brothers.- 21 Jump Street and Moneyball.- And Moneyball.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4321 Jump Street's going to be quite big.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So we might be better off thinking of a different one.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- Um... Michael Cera... He's in loads of things.- Superbad.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- I can't think of any... - I can't either.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Jonah Hill is in...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Seth Rogen is...
0:38:00 > 0:38:02He's got a really small part in Anchorman.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- He plays like a correspondent in Anchorman.- The first...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- The first one.- So we've got Anchorman, we've got Moneyball...
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- And what was the other one? - Ten seconds left.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Step Brothers. OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- You happy?- Yes.- Shall we stop the clock?- Yeah.- OK, it's stopped.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19What are your three answers going to be
0:38:19 > 0:38:22and if you say which category you're answering as well?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26OK, so we think Seth Rogen has small parts in both Anchorman...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Anchorman.- Anchorman 1, the first one. And Step Brothers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Step Brothers.- And then, Jonah Hill...- Is in Moneyball.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Yeah, which is like a serious film, so...- Moneyball.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40He's not playing anything funny, so it might be a good answer.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- do you think? - He's got a big part in Moneyball.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Step Brothers might be a bit... - Yeah.- Step Brothers? Put that last.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably Moneyball. - Moneyball, we'll put first. OK.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Well, let's pop those answers up on the board and here they are,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58in that order...
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Well, good luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Let's hope one of them wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- What would you do with that? £1,250.- I think flights...
0:39:11 > 0:39:17Yeah, enjoy the summer. Mainly. Holidays. And things like that.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Well, very best of luck. Your first answer,
0:39:19 > 0:39:24in this case we were looking for Jonah Hill films, was Moneyball.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27This has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win
0:39:27 > 0:39:31the jackpot, so for £1,250, let's see how many people said Moneyball.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34It's right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Down it goes. Through the 50s and the 40s,
0:39:38 > 0:39:39into the 30s.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £1,250.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Into single figures, still going down!
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- 3. - APPLAUSE.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Good start.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53That's good. As you said, it's a big part.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Most people might remember that.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58So it's all looking very good for your next two answers.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Only two more shots, obviously, at today's jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Your next answer was Anchorman. We were looking for Seth Rogen films.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:08 > 0:40:12so let's see, for £1,250, how many people said Anchorman.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17It's right.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Your first answer, Moneyball, took us all the way down to 3.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Anchorman, now taking us down through the teens
0:40:23 > 0:40:26and into single figures, down it goes, still going,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28down it goes... Ooh!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:41One person got Anchorman and that's a really tiny part, as you said.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46OK, everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It is Step Brothers and of course, in this case,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55we're still looking for Seth Rogen films.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot £1,250.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Let's see how many people said Step Brothers.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09It's right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11OK, so your first answer, Moneyball, took us down to 3.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Your second answer, Anchorman took us down to 1.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Now, Step Brothers takes us into single figures,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19still going down, down it goes...
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- Yes, you've done it! Very well done indeed! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Fabulous answer there. Very, very well done. Brilliant! Very good!
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Fantastic! Congratulations!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Step Brothers was a pointless answer,
