0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I'm Nay, this is my dad Mark

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Matt.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is my friend Grant. I'm from Surrey and he's from Brighton.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hello, I'm Carrie and this is my friend Kate and we live in Essex.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Gina, this is my daughter Francesca,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55and we're from Solihull.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much. We'll find out more about each of you throughout
0:01:03 > 0:01:04the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If there was a University of Life, he'd be the dean.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Dean Richard.- That's nice, isn't it? How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I'm looking forward to today's show because, as it happens sometimes,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27we've got three returning pairs and they were all lovely last time.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Yeah.- We had loads of fun last time
0:01:29 > 0:01:31so we're going to have loads of fun today, as well.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Now, Round One, we lost Gina and Francesca,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35so hopefully we'll see a bit more of you this time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And then Round Two, we lost Nay and Mark, and then
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Carrie and Kate got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And then Jamie and Robbie, they only just beat you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- And then they won the jackpot. Two in a row we've given away now.- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Did very well, didn't they?- They did very well.- They were terrific.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And our newcomers, Grant and Matt...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Now, Grant went to my old school, Warden Park.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I was just saying to him, we've had two people on from my school before,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00well, three people, really...
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We had somebody came on, got knocked out in Round One in their first show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07In their second show, came back, got knocked out in Round One again.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08LAUGHTER
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Next time, we had someone from my school,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11we had two people from my school,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15we had a pair from my school, so they teamed up with their brains.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17First show, they got knocked out in Round One.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20OK, so we think there's a curse, but then, second show,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21they come back,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23get knocked out in Round One again.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So you'd be the first person ever
0:02:25 > 0:02:28to go to Warden Park who got past Round One, if you can do it, Grant,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- so I wish you the very, very best of luck. Come on!- Got it!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now, as you'll have gathered, Jamie and Robbie won the jackpot
0:02:35 > 0:02:39last time so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:47 > 0:02:49OK, now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:49 > 0:02:52at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Your job is to make sure you're not in that pair.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Our first category today...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59..is Europe.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Europe. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- and who's going second. - THEY MURMUR
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:03:13 > 0:03:15to name as many European capitals
0:03:15 > 0:03:19that come alphabetically between Berlin and Paris.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22European capitals that come between Berlin and Paris in the alphabet.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Richard?- Yeah, any European capital that comes between those two
0:03:25 > 0:03:27in the alphabet, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Has to be a capital of a country that is a sovereign state,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32that's a member of the UN, of course. But other than that,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34just any capital coming between Berlin and Paris.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Thanks very much indeed. Now, Nay, welcome back.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Nay, remind us what you do.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I work at the University of Southampton.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And in your spare time, what do you like getting up to?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- I do quite a lot of amateur dramatics.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Are you working on anything at the moment?- Not at the moment.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I just did two and I was kind of a bit tired. Took a break.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Quite right. What have you just done?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I did one for the Totton Drama Festival
0:03:58 > 0:04:01and before that in the Nuffield Theatre in Southampton.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Good. OK. Now, European capital cities.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Um...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Not going to take a risk, I'm going to go Luxembourg.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Luxembourg, says Nay. Luxembourg.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Luxembourg.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18It's right.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Nothing wrong with that. 10, very well done indeed, Nay.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Great start to the show. - APPLAUSE
0:04:27 > 0:04:2910 for Luxembourg.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yeah, only 100,000 inhabitants in Luxembourg
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and 67% of those are foreigners.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Thank you very much, Richard.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, Matt, welcome. Good to have you here. What do you do, Matt?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I work for a charity that teaches chess in state primary schools
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and inner-city communities.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49That's... That's quite punchy cos chess is one of those things
0:04:49 > 0:04:52that takes a bit of getting into, but once you're into it,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- it's a whole world of fun, isn't it? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Well, the idea is that we teach children from an early age
0:04:57 > 0:05:00that they can enjoy the various transferable skills that it engenders.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Very... Transfers... Engenders?! I like that. He's good.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's like he's pitching to us.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I feel like I'm on Dragons' Den.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09LAUGHTER
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Shall we tell him where we're at?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I would say, "And in year three, what do you think your income will be?"
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Not terrific, but... - That's where I shake my head.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21LAUGHTER
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Well, I'm going to tell you where I am, I'm out.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24LAUGHTER
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- I have to say, I like him. - That's my impression of a Dragon.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31There's something... I don't like the business but I like you.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I think you're very investable.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35If I weren't speaking on Dragons' Den,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37all we want is for every child in the country to learn chess cos
0:05:37 > 0:05:40we feel it's a really valuable game. And that's where the pitch ends,
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I promise.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- So, Matt, very fulfilling, I would hope?- Yes, I enjoy it enormously.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm a very keen player myself, as well, so it's just wonderful
0:05:48 > 0:05:51working for something that I really believe in the cause for.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Good. Good for you. Now, Matt, how are you on capital cities?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Um.- European capital cities. - Not terrific.
0:05:58 > 0:06:05But I've got a good friend who lives in Moldova and he's from Chisinau
0:06:05 > 0:06:07which I believe is the capital city of Moldova.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Chisinau.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Mark looking very unhappy
0:06:11 > 0:06:14about that. Chisinau, says Matt.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Let's see if that's right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chisinau.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22It's right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Well, 10 is our only score, at this point.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Chisinau passes 10.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Goes down to 1.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31APPLAUSE
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Matt's a bit disappointed it didn't go all the way down
0:06:33 > 0:06:35to pointless but can't argue with that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It's a fantastic score, very well done indeed. 1 for Chisinau.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Yeah, great start, Matt.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Thank you, as well, for helping out a Warden Park student.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Surely, surely now we're going to see someone
0:06:44 > 0:06:45in Round Two, come on.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- We'll see. Carrie, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52You stormed it all the way through the last show till the head-to-head.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- I know.- And then... - Beaten by those students.- I know.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57LAUGHTER
0:06:59 > 0:07:01So, who let who down, do you think, Carrie and Kate?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Neither of us let each other down. - Quite right. Well said.- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- We discovered last time you breed sheep.- Yes, Hebridean.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Hebridean sheep, exactly. Which have a lovely dark brown wool?- Correct.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Excellent. So, how do you and Kate know each other, Carrie?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, we've known each other for over 30 years.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21We used to work together years ago, and we've been friends ever since.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Very good. Whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I think...- We just decided. - We decided we wanted to
0:07:25 > 0:07:26and I said, "Right, well,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29"we've just got to do it." And applied and here we are.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34And here you are. Well, what a great answer to follow there.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Do you think you can do as well, maybe even better?- Well...
0:07:37 > 0:07:39A nice low-scoring European capital.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I'm really slightly worried about this one
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but I'm going to take a gamble.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45And I'm going to say Minsk.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Minsk...- Yep.- ..says Carrie, Minsk. 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 Mink.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59You're straight off, very well done indeed, Carrie. Minsk is right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, 10's our high score, 1 our low.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03You pass our high, you join our low.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04APPLAUSE
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Very well done indeed, Carrie. Minsk is a cracking answer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Great answer, Carrie. Yeah, capital of Belarus.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Belarus's main export
0:08:14 > 0:08:15is tractors.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23LAUGHTER
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Thanks very much indeed. Now, Francesca, welcome back.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- It was Round One last time.- I know.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30But it was a very, very tough category.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33What would be your dream Pointless round?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well, I do like geography but I'm... I know... I...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Hang on, you don't like geography? - I do like geography.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40No, but you said, "I do like geography."
0:08:40 > 0:08:42You were teeing up for a massive "but" there.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47I'm not... I'm better on Africa and South America and more like...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, not so good at the continent we're in?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- No, I'm not very good at close.- OK.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54A prophet in his own land, yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm going to have to...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57I know this will probably be quite high
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- but I'm going to have to go with Lisbon.- Lisbon, says Francesca.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lisbon.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08It's right.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Not bad at all, 26.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16APPLAUSE
0:09:16 > 0:09:1726 for Lisbon.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's the oldest city in Western Europe, Lisbon.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- The oldest?- It's the second oldest capital city in the whole of Europe
0:09:25 > 0:09:27behind Athens.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I didn't know that about Lisbon. I tell you, it wears it well.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32I think it's had a bit of work done.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I was going to say, I wonder what it's doing...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Yeah, think it's had a bit of filler - Yeah, little bit.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:42 > 0:09:441, the best score of that pass, Matt and Grant,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45and Carrie and Kate.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Up to 10 where we find Nay and Mark, well done to you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51And then 26, Francesca and Gina. You're not way ahead.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Gina, I'm sure you've got a brilliant answer.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let's hope it's low enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57We're going to come back down the line now -
0:09:57 > 0:10:00can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK. So, Gina, remember we're looking for European capital cities
0:10:05 > 0:10:09whose names fall between Berlin and Paris in the alphabet.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Gina, remind us about yourself.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I work for the Office For National Statistics
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- and I work at Birmingham Airport and I interview passengers.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22And your hobbies, Gina?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Um... I enjoy going to the gym and I enjoy doing Zumba.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31And I've also been known to do a spot of painting.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34So, when I go on holiday, I like to take pictures of landscapes.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37You take pictures so you can come back and paint them
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- from the pictures?- Yes.- That's good.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And sometimes I take pictures in the hotels, if there's a nice painting.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43You'll just take them?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46LAUGHTER
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- I'll take the painting and copy it once I'm home, yeah.- OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Now, Gina, you're on 26.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You're the high-scorers, we need a low score from you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58This should be good for me, obviously, working at the airport.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I'm thinking about... I'm just thinking which will be the best one.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Um. I'm going to go for Bucharest. - Bucharest, says Gina.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Let's see if that's right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10No red line for you cos you're the high-scorers.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12But let's see how far down the column you get with Bucharest.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18It's right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- APPLAUSE - 6.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Second-best score of the round so far. Very well done.
0:11:30 > 0:11:326 takes your total up to 32.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Well played, given yourself a real chance there. Capital of Romania.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Thanks very much indeed. Now, Kate.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Joint low-scorers at this point.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46All looking very good for team Kate and Carrie as it was last time.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Now, last time, we discovered you breed pigs.- Yes, I do.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50What kind of pigs do you have?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54They're a rare breed pig called Oxford Sandy and Black.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56And what else do you do, Kate?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Er, well, I do a lot of gardening, I have a big veggie garden.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- And, yeah, I play a lot of sport and then I go to work.- Very good.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08OK, now, there you are, you're on 1.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09SHE SIGHS
0:12:09 > 0:12:12If you want to remain low-scorers, ie not become high-scorers,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15you want to score 30 or less.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16I'm going to go for
0:12:16 > 0:12:20the capital of Greenland which is Nuuk. N-U-U-K.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Nuuk.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Nuuk, says Kate.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Here's your red line.- N-U...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I don't know, maybe Greenland's not in Europe.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- If you can get Nuuk, Nook, Noo-ook, Nuk.- Nuuk, Nuk.- Nuak.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Nu-uh-uk.- Nuu-ak.- I don't know.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Whatever it is, if you can get below that red line with it, it's good.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oh, no! Kate!
0:12:45 > 0:12:46No.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Maybe Greenland's not in Europe.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You nuked your chances there, look.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55100 points that scores you, takes your total up to 101.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yeah, it's not a country, I'm afraid, Kate. Terrific answer.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Nuuk is the capital of Greenland
0:13:00 > 0:13:03but not a country, certainly not by our definition. It's part of Denmark.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Ohh.- That's unlucky. It is Nuuk, though.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'm in a daze. I don't know what... I don't know what to say.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Apart from... Grant, welcome! - Hello.- Welcome to the show.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Good to have you here, Grant.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17From Warden Park. I mean, not from Warden Park, obviously,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20you left that some while ago, I can tell that by the beard.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22What do you do, Grant?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've actually just finished a medical course at university.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28And I'm going to be a qualified doctor relatively soon.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30That's quite a long course, isn't it?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- How long have you been at it? - It's taken me six years.- Gah!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Do you know what kind of doctor you're going to be?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36I think I'm thinking GP.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39GP, very good. Nice, that's a nice kind of doctor to be, isn't it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- I think so.- Yeah. What are your hobbies, aside from that?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Well, both Matt and I are chess players.- Oh, I see, chess again.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Was this how you met, did you meet through the board?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Through the pieces?- On the chess circuit.- On the chess circuit. OK.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56- Depressingly that is the term we use.- On the chess circuit. Yeah, OK.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00OK, now, Grant. You have to score 99 points.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well, I've got a friend that goes scuba-diving in Cyprus
0:14:05 > 0:14:08and I think the capital of Cyprus is Nicosia.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Nicosia, says Grant.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Nicosia.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15There is your red line, nice and high.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18It's right and you're through.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Very well done indeed.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's a cracking answer, look at that. 2 for Nicosia.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27APPLAUSE
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Takes your total up to 3.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Looking very good for Warden Park. - Yeah, that's terrific work, Grant.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35First ever pupil of Warden Park ever to get into a second round
0:14:35 > 0:14:38of Pointless. Very well done. Look at that score.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40APPLAUSE
0:14:42 > 0:14:43That's more like it.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Thanks very much indeed. Now, Mark. Mark, welcome back.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49This is a great topic for you, isn't it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54We discovered that you have an IT network based in Eastern Europe.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Exactly.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Remind us what you do when you're not running
0:14:57 > 0:14:59your international corporation.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Well, I've mentioned before about the...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I used to do a lot of running.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Lot of running, all distances, did a few marathons,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12made a little tour to various ones around the world.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Did the hundredth marathon at Boston and then ran Athens,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18finished up with a time of 2.30 which, you know,
0:15:18 > 0:15:19is a good time for a marathon.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- That's scarily good.- That's a very good time.- That's extremely good.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24I was a bit thinner in those days.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26LAUGHTER
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- You're still pretty thin, Mark. You're all right.- I was thinner!
0:15:29 > 0:15:30This is fat for him.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Wow. Now, Mark, anyway, there you are. You're on 10.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34You have to score 90 or less.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Well, all the best answers are gone.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So, I'll play safe, thankfully,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44because of the 100 that went before, I'll just say Helsinki.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Helsinki.- In Finland.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Helsinki. There's your red line.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Let's see if Helsinki's right,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58It's right and you're through.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- APPLAUSE - 16 for Helsinki.
0:16:05 > 0:16:0626, your total, very well done.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yeah, one of the coldest cities in the world,
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Helsinki, capital of Finland.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You said all the good answers had gone, actually,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16you're not far from the truth.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20There's no pointless answers at all, so Chisinau and Minsk were
0:16:20 > 0:16:22both the best answers you possibly could have come up with.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Terrific answers. And there's one other one-scorer which is Monaco.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Last time we said that, people said,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30"Monaco's not the capital of Monaco, Monte Carlo is."
0:16:30 > 0:16:32But Monaco is the capital of Monaco.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You'd have got 2 points for, well, we've see Nicosia, terrific work.
0:16:35 > 0:16:383 points for Bratislava, Slovakia.
0:16:38 > 0:16:403 points, as well, for Ljubljana in Slovenia,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and 5 points for Bern, Switzerland.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You'd have got 9 points for Kiev, as well, Ukraine.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Copenhagen would have scored you 34.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Madrid, 45.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57And London -
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I forgot about London! - would have scored you 74 points.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So did 26 of our 100 people, forgot about London.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:17:08 > 0:17:11with their high score of 101, I'm still reeling from this,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Kate and Carrie.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Oh, I'm sorry.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I'm so sorry.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18We have to say goodbye to you now,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20it's ridiculously soon to be saying goodbye to you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I was imagining you'd be going all the way through to the final
0:17:23 > 0:17:25but, yep, far too soon. Thank you so much playing.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Kate and Carrie, wonderful, wonderful contestants.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:32But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38APPLAUSE
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And so three pairs remain.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Obviously, at the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye
0:17:44 > 0:17:48to another pair. Well, you've seen off one of our returning pairs.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yeah, Grant and Matt - very, very impressive indeed.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Grant, are you... Was it the same Warden Park?- As Richard?- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Definitely that Warden Park? - Oh, hey, whoa.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01LAUGHTER
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Don't have a go at Warden Park, mate.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Don't even.- I wasn't, wasn't even...
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Perfectly good, we just got unlucky the last couple of shows, that's all.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14This is much more representative of the quality of student
0:18:14 > 0:18:15we get at Warden Park.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Let's play Round Two.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Modern Pop Music.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:27 > 0:18:28who's going to go second?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Alumni of the Brit School. Richard.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six hit singles.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48We need you to tell us who had a hit with those singles.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50They're all people who studied at the Brit School in Croydon.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, who had hits with the following records?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55There's going to be six on each pass, 12 in all to have a go at.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58OK, so let's reveal our board of six hit records.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00And here they are...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'll read those all one last time...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Nay, over to you.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm pretty sure Lost Generation is Rizzle Kicks?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Rizzle Kicks, says Nay for Lost Generation.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Rizzle Kicks.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It's right.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- APPLAUSE - Very well done, 12 for Rizzle Kicks.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Very good answer. Unlike most of the acts you're going to see,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55didn't actually study music at the Brit School.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Studied media and theatre.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Jordan did media and Harley did theatre.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- I like the Rizzle Kicks. - I like Rizzle Kicks.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Do you remember we met Rizzle Kicks? - Yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08And they were fans of Pointless.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Well, they've got a lot of taste.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yeah, they have.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16They're connoisseurs of daytime quizzes, aren't they?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- They certainly are.- Love it. They love a bit of Perfection.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Tipping Point. In fact, they like all of them.- They love them all.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24(They don't like The Chase very much.)
0:20:24 > 0:20:26LAUGHTER They're not big fans...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Don't say that, cos what if Bradley is watching?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30He'll be upset. You know that he watches.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32No, I know. They just don't really watch it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You know Bradley watches this show and just takes notes on you?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37He sits there with a clipboard, like that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40With his tongue out, going... LAUGHTER
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Just writing down words.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Going, "Ooh, I'll have that."
0:20:44 > 0:20:47He doesn't say it, he goes, GRAVELLY VOICE: "Ooh, I'll have that, yeah, lovely.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49LAUGHTER "Sweet! Yes, lovely!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51"Yep, yep, yep - yeah, nice.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54"Alumni?!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56"All right, lovely. Lovely.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00"You're having a bubble, in't ya?"
0:21:00 > 0:21:03No. Hey, Brad, if you're watching.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Thanks, Richard. Grant.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Well, not much of a pop music man, I'm afraid.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13There's a couple up there I think I know, but I think I'm going to
0:21:13 > 0:21:15go for Foundations, which I think was Kate Nash?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Kate Nash, says Grant.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said Kate Nash.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25It's right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed, Grant.
0:21:34 > 0:21:359 for Kate Nash.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Well played, Grant. Another terrific answer, another terrific song.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Number two hit, Foundations.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Now, Gina, we come to you. You're the last person to have this board.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- No. - LAUGHTER
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Erm...- Talk us through as much of it as you can.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I can't think. I know...
0:21:55 > 0:22:00I can picture the girl who sings Nine Million Bicycles...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I can't say the name.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08So I'm going to go safe and go for Chasing Pavements, Adele.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Adele, Chasing Pavements.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13OK, let's see if that's right, Adele, and if it is,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19It's right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- APPLAUSE - 43 for Adele.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Very high score there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30You did exactly the right thing, though, Gina.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31So much better than 100.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34The name you're trying to think of for Nine Million Bicycles was Katie Melua.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Melua, yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We're halfway through the round - let's look at the scores...
0:22:51 > 0:22:529, well done, Grant and Matt.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Once again, looking very much in control at this point.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Then up to 12, where we find Nay and Mark.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Then up to 43, Gina and Francesca.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Francesca, your time to shine is coming.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You're the first person to get the next board,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06so make sure you find a lovely, low score on it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Back down the line now -
0:23:07 > 0:23:10could the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, we're going to put six more songs up on the board,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16and here they come...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'll read those all one last time...
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Francesca, you're the high-scorers, we need a low score from you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43A lovely, low score.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47OK. I don't know whether this is right, but I'll just try anyway.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I don't know whether Broken Record is Katy B.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Katy B.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55But let's see how many of our 100 people said Katie B.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It's right! Very well done indeed, Francesca.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's a good score, look at that!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Down it goes to 3, that's wonderful! - APPLAUSE
0:24:08 > 0:24:1246 is your total. Let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17That's a brilliant answer, Francesca, very well played.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You've really made the rest of the round very interesting now.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Now, Matt...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Hello.- Matt, you're on 9. You have to score 36 or less.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29How's this for you?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'm at least as bad as Grant at pop music.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I know one or two,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and I'm going to opt for the better one of the two I know for certain.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39At least I hope I know for certain, which is
0:24:39 > 0:24:42She Moves In Her Own Way, by The Kooks.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The Kooks, says Matt. She Moves In Her Own Way, The Kooks.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Here's your red line. Get below that with The Kooks,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49you are into the next round.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Kooks.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It's right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You're through!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Very well done indeed. 24, your total. - APPLAUSE
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Well played, Matt.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10And Luke Pritchard, the lead singer of The Kooks,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12used to date Katie Melua when he was at the Brit School.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- There you are.- How about that?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16There you are. I did not know that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Thanks very much indeed. Now, Mark, you have to score 33 or less.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23How are we feeling?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27This is what you normally call an early bath.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31To be honest, I've got absolutely no idea of any...
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I'm trying to think of anyone who might even be there.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I'll just say a name.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Back To Black...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I don't even know if she exists. Leona Lewis, something like that?
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Leona Lewis.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Back To Black, Leona Lewis.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52let's see how many of our 100 people said Leona Lewis.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54There's your red line.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh, I'm sorry, Mark.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Scores you 100 points,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- takes your total up to 112.- Yeah.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Leona Lewis... She did actually go to the Brit School, Leona Lewis,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11and she actually had a hit with A Moment Like This as well.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13At least I got the name right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It would have scored you 21 points,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and seen you through to the next round.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- AUDIENCE GROANS - Oh! Never mind.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25When you look at the names on the these boards,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- it's an extraordinary success rate they have at that place.- Isn't it?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40So Katy B, Francesca, was the best answer on the board. Well played.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:44 > 0:26:46with our highest score of 112,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I'm afraid, Mark and Nay.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It was Round Two last time, Round Two this time.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I'm sorry we haven't seen any more of you.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But thanks very much for playing, Mark and Nay.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:27:00But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Congratulations, Grant and Matt, Gina and Francesca.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10You're now one step away from the final,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Well, Gina and Francesca, this is more like it.- Yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You've reached the threshold of the head-to-head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23From here on in, you can chat before you give any of your answers,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25which is great, takes a lot of the pressure off.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And we've had great answers from you as well,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30so we're expecting great things.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Grant and Matt, I mean, for heaven's sake,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34it's like a stealth raid.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37You've just come in, just low score, low score, low score.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40"Oh, I don't know anything about pop music." Low score, low score.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Fantastic. There are going to be fireworks.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I think it's going to be very exciting indeed. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47APPLAUSE
0:27:51 > 0:27:54OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Architectural Features. Richard.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We're going to show you five architectural features,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- can you tell us what they are? - OK, thanks very much.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Let's reveal our five architectural features. And here they come...
0:28:34 > 0:28:36OK, there we are. Five architectural features.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Grant and Matt, you've been our low-scorers throughout,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41so you get to go first.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Know any of them?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I think we may just have to go for it, hope they don't know anything.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- I think A might be rib vault. - Shall we go for that?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52That sounds pretty good.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54We're not totally sure about this one.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I think we're going to go for A, though,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59and we're going to take a guess at rib vault.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04Rib vault, say Grant and Matt. Rib vault.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Gina and Francesca,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09We haven't got a clue.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15The only one I could even guess at is E,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17and that's column.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20OK, you're going to say column for E. Column.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23So we have rib vault, and we have column.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Grant and Matt said rib vault, let's see if that's right for A,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30A bit of a punt you're taking here.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35It's right.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- It's right, 43 is what it scores. - APPLAUSE
0:29:43 > 0:29:4543 for rib vault.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Now, Gina and Francesca have said that E is a column.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Let's see if that's right,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52let's see how many of our 100 people said column.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57It's right.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02APPLAUSE
0:30:02 > 0:30:06So, very well done, Grant and Matt. After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Let's fill in these gaps...
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And D - this is where we get the word from - it's niche.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- It IS quite specialist, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Yeah, that is a niche answer.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Gina and Francesca, you get to answer first, but you have to win it to stay in the game,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Second World War Films. Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47We'll show you the name of five films, all set during World War II,
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- but we've removed alternate letters. Can you tell us what they are, please?- OK, thanks, Richard.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Let's reveal our five films. And here they are...
0:31:13 > 0:31:14I'll read those all again...
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Gina and Francesca will go first.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Do you have any idea of anything?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I know the top one and bottom one.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- You want go for the top one? - Great Escape, Casablanca...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Go for the top one?- Go ahead. - All right, then.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44We know two of them, but I'm going to go for the top one.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47We think it's The Great Escape?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49You're going to go for The Great Escape.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52The Great Escape, say Gina and Francesca.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Now, Grant and Matt,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56do you want to talk us through all the others and fill in the blanks?
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Well, Grant, you think you can...?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I think we've got most of them.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03I think we've got Saving Private Ryan down there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Casablanca is the bottom one. - The Pianist is the second.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I think we are much going to go for the third.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11The second one might be quite good as well.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14How certain are you of number three?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Relatively.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18We think number three's Empire Of The Sun.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- And I think we'll go with that. - Yeah, OK. If you're sure.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23OK, you're going to go with Empire Of The Sun.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25So, we have The Great Escape and we have Empire Of The Sun.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Gina and Francesca have said The Great Escape.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34It's right.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- APPLAUSE - Not a bad score at all. Not bad at all, Gina and Francesca.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Grant and Matt, meanwhile, have gone for Empire Of The Sun.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Empire Of The Sun.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Will it beat 28?
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Yes, it will, look at that!
0:33:03 > 0:33:0516! Well done for Empire Of The Sun.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Very well done.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Grant and Matt, after only two questions,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- you're straight through to the final, 2-0.- Well played.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Just out of interest, what made you go for three instead of two?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I trust Grant's judgment more than I trust my own,
0:33:19 > 0:33:20and he was very confident.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The Pianist is a more recent film and Adrien Brody's a big actor
0:33:23 > 0:33:25and he won an Oscar for it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- But it's a hard one to work out with those letters.- Really hard.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I suppose, 2002 as well, I guess...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33And people not thinking, "Maybe it's a war film" and all that.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37I would've gone for it and I would've added £250 to the jackpot as well.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It's a pointless answer. It's a terrific one.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42But Empire Of The Sun, very good answer as well.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44You were right about the other two as well.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Saving Private Ryan would've scored you 34, and Casablanca,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52the biggest scorer of all, would've scored you 83.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I'm so sorry, Gina and Francesca, this is the end of the road.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It's been wonderful having you on both shows. Thank you so much
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- for playing. Done really, really well. Gina and Francesca.- Thank you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Well done.- Thank you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11But for Grant and Matt, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Congratulations, Grant and Matt.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18You've fought off all the competition
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Well done! I mean, that's just extraordinary. Extraordinary!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Single figure scores, I think, all the way through. Is that right?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Maybe not. Maybe not in Round Two, actually.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44No, I let the side down with The Kooks, I think.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47No, I don't think you did. The side wasn't let down at all.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49You were still the low scorers of the round,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51and then 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Nearly, had you gone for The Pianist,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56we'd be going for a slightly enhanced jackpot now.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, as always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:34:59 > 0:35:01categories we've put up on the board.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Let's see if there's anything up there you like the look of.
0:35:11 > 0:35:17Well, I compile the database of MPs who are in all 300 of our schools,
0:35:17 > 0:35:23so if it's just random MPs' names, I can probably dig out one or two.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Well, if you like MPs... - I'd take a punt on MPs.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- I'm happy to go with that.- I'll take the blame if it goes pear-shaped.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- OK.- UK MPs.- UK MPs it is. Rich.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35As of April 2014,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37we're looking for anybody listed
0:35:37 > 0:35:39on the official UK Parliamentary website,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41any MP whose surname begins with B,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44any MP whose surname begins with C,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47and you may be able to guess the next bit,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50but it's any MPs with surnames beginning with D.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51So, beginning of April 2014,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54anyone listed on the Parliamentary website
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- with B, C or D beginning their surname. Very best of luck.- OK.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:00 > 0:36:01to come up with three answers.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03All we need for you to be walking off with that
0:36:03 > 0:36:07jackpot of £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Are you ready?- As we'll ever be. - I think so.- OK.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Your time starts now.- Locals MPs is always good. Who's your local MP?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Does it begin with B, C or D? Mine's Sam Gyimah, so that won't work.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Erm... - I can't think of the current one.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- I've been in a lot of areas recently.- Sorry. Erm...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I'm kind of filibustering cos I've just had
0:36:26 > 0:36:28a blank on everyone in this database.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I mean, obviously people like Vince Cable, fairly obvious.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I think Dai...
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Yeah, Dai Dav... TC Davies, I think,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38is an MP in one of the Welsh constituencies,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40so he's probably worth going for.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Vince Cable can be back up if necessary,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45but that's not particularly good.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Clearly, David Cameron is going to be absolutely awful.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49LAUGHTER
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Well...!
0:36:50 > 0:36:52You never know!
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Margaret Beckett's not there any more.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I really am filibustering now. Anything you can think of?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Dai TC Davies is probably the best I can think of at this time limit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I think that's what...
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I think you're covering this quite nicely.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm not going to come up with anything that you're not.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08OK...
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Right, well, I guess our hopes are with Dai then, aren't they?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Our hopes are with Dai.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16OK, that's your time up.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17I now need your three answers,
0:37:17 > 0:37:19what are you going to give me?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21OK. Well, Vince Cable.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Vince Cable.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Dai TC Davies.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Dai TC Davies.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Anyone springing to mind?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31There's David Davis.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35And we could... Yep, why...why not go for David Davis as well?
0:37:35 > 0:37:36David Davis.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Could be the same man, could be different. It'll be fun to see.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41LAUGHTER
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Of those three which is your... I think I know.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I think Dai TC Davies is going to be the best.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Dai TC Davies, we'll put last.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- First one? The one we think is least likely?- BOTH: Vince Cable.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Vince Cable we'll put first and David Davis in the middle.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order then.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57And here they are. We have...
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Well, very best of luck.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Grant, what would you do with that if you won it?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Well, I went to the States a couple of summers ago,
0:38:10 > 0:38:11and really enjoyed it
0:38:11 > 0:38:13so I'd probably put that towards a trip back there.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I'd like to go to Seattle, actually.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Very good. Matt, how about you?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Well, it's a toss up between buying the cheapest Chelsea season ticket
0:38:21 > 0:38:24or taking my girlfriend out for a nice meal and the theatre,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26and I suspect it will probably be the latter.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29What do you mean you "suspect"? Of course it will!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32There's some pretty terrible seats at Stamford Bridge as well.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34OK. Now, Vince Cable was your first answer,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Let's find out how many people said Vince Cable.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43If it's right and it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49It is right. Of course.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Vince Cable taking us down through the forties.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Of course, it may go all the way down to zero, you never know.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57If it does, you'll leave here with £1,000. Down it goes.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Still through single figures, still going down!
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Oh! 1! - AUDIENCE: Oh!
0:39:01 > 0:39:04APPLAUSE
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Wow!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Vince Cable only scored 1,
0:39:08 > 0:39:12so, obviously not a pointless answer, but still a great low score.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Your next answer was David Davis. Again...it has to be right
0:39:17 > 0:39:19and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Let's find out how many people said David Davis for £1,000.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29It is right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Now, Vince Cable, your first answer, took us all the way down to 1.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35David Davis, now, taking us down
0:39:35 > 0:39:37through the teens into single figures.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Still going down,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- down to 4. - AUDIENCE: Aww!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43APPLAUSE
0:39:46 > 0:39:48OK. Not a pointless answer,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50so everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Dai TC Davies.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56You were pretty sure this was right.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Unless he's also David Davis,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00in which case...
0:40:00 > 0:40:02What, just masquerading as a Welshman?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04LAUGHTER
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Weekends.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Obviously it has to be right, and it has to be pointless
0:40:08 > 0:40:09for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12so let's see how many people said Dai TC Davies.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Is it pointless? Please, can it be?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It's right!
0:40:19 > 0:40:23It is right. Now, your first answer, Vincent Cable, took us down to 1.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25David Davis then took us down to 4.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Dai TC Davis, single figures,
0:40:27 > 0:40:28down it goes!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Oh! 2!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- AUDIENCE: Oh! - Oh, well.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Not bad.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Three perfectly good answers there.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42All low-scoring, single-figure answers,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45but I'm afraid you just didn't manage to find
0:40:45 > 0:40:47that all important pointless answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49So, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51That will roll over onto the next show,
0:40:51 > 0:40:52but what fantastic contestants,
0:40:52 > 0:40:54we've really loved having you on the show.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Very entertaining, and hugely knowledgeable.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Fantastic to see, and you get a Pointless trophy.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02So, very, very well done for all of that.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04APPLAUSE
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Unbelievable.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Yep, very well played, gents,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10and, Grant, thank you for upholding the honour of Warden Park.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I appreciate it.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Yeah, Dai Davies.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15He's another David Davies, which is where the TC comes from.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18He's always... He gets into trouble on social media
0:41:18 > 0:41:19and all sorts of other things,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22which is why his profile is slightly higher than you might think.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23I'm amazed about Vince Cable's score.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Extraordinary, one point.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27This is one of those ones, if your MP begins with
0:41:27 > 0:41:29one of those three letters, it's probably a Pointless answer
0:41:29 > 0:41:31unless it's also the MP of one of our 100.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Let's take a look at the Bs first.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37There's so many... There's a few of the bigger names.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Fiona Bruce...not that one!
0:41:39 > 0:41:40In fact, everyone apart from
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Gordon Brown, Ed Balls, Margaret Beckett, David Blunkett, Nick Boles,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Annette Brooke, John Baron, John Bercow, Andy Burnham, Richard Bacon,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Chris Bryant, Steve Brine and Hazel Blears,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51they were the only people who scored any points at all.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53So, if you knew another one, well done.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Let's look at the Cs,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57some big names again...
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Kenneth Clarke is up there as a pointless answer. Unbelievable.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Mary Creagh,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Menzies Campbell as well, is a pointless answer.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Again, very few people scored points.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07David Cameron and Nick Clegg obviously did.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Yvette Cooper, Alun Cairns, Douglas Carswell, John Cryer,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12William Cash, Damian Collins, Stella Creasy,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Gregory Campbell and Vince Cable the only ones who scored any points.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Loads of pointless answers.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20D...
0:42:22 > 0:42:24A few other... Again, very few scorers.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Iain Duncan Smith, Alistair Darling,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30the two David Davies', Nadine Dorries, Ed Davey, Nick de Bois,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Nigel Dodds, Glyn Davis, John Denham, Jim Dobbin and Frank Dobson.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Those are the only ones who scored any points at all.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Well, unfortunately, we need to say goodbye to you, Grant and Matt,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42but it's been fantastic having you on the show.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45thank you both so much for playing. Brilliant contestants!
0:42:45 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Well, very sadly, Grant and Matt didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:50 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:52 > 0:42:55when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
