0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Betsy. This is my friend, Georgia.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- And we are students from Cheltenham. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Neil. This is my friend, Zander.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And we are from Wishaw, in Scotland.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Thanks very much to all of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We'll find out more about you in the show as it goes along.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Making you scream at the telly like it is an England World Cup
0:01:05 > 0:01:08quarterfinal, it is my Pointless friend.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12APPLAUSE
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - We've got four new pairs again.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- I know!- That has happened a couple of times recently.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It means none of the players has any idea what happened
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- last time.- No.- I mean...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Phhh... That was a show and a half, wasn't it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Whoa, yeah!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29From the moment that horse came into the studio,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31the whole thing was just crazy.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- It was unbelievable, wasn't it? - Yeah, amazing.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- And that it could count like that. - Yeah, it was extraordinary.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And just by the end, in that head-to-head, when the Italian
0:01:40 > 0:01:44army invaded - INVADED - and tried to take over the show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46They tried to bring it over to Italy.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Yeah.- With a lasso. And we fought them off.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Literally just you and I and... Do you remember? ..Marjorie.- Exactly.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- She was terrific.- It was touch and go in terminal five there, wasn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yeah, it really was. It was an extr... I feel sorry for you
0:02:00 > 0:02:02that you missed it cos it was extraordinary stuff.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- It was a good show. - The entire audience...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07They had that hilarious thing where the armoured van full of gold
0:02:07 > 0:02:12ingots crashed and all the gold just piled into the audience.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I think they all made about £7.8 million each.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- They did very well.- Every single
0:02:16 > 0:02:18member of the audience. All the contestants did as well. We didn't.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We left it because, you know, that's not how we operate, is it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Yeah...- And also, Adrian and Rob won the jackpot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28That is what happened on the last show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Now, almost everyone on the show today has the same name as you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- I know.- Have you noticed that?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I don't think we've had an actual Zander before.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- We've got two Alexes.- Yep. - We've got no Richards.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Every name has its day.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41That's true. Yeah, you are absolutely laughing.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42You should have a name badge.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- I should.- Either with Alex A or Zander A written on it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So, as you'll have gathered, maybe,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Adrian and Rob won the jackpot last time.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02APPLAUSE
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, now remember, the pair with the highest score
0:03:06 > 0:03:08at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10That's all you have to remember.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Our first category today is...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Sporting Achievements.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Can you decide in your pairs
0:03:18 > 0:03:21who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40As many BBC Sports Personalities of the Year who have won
0:03:40 > 0:03:42an Olympic medal as they could. Richard.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45We're looking for anyone who has won the BBC Sports Personality
0:03:45 > 0:03:47of the Year, who has won any sort of Olympic medal -
0:03:47 > 0:03:50gold, silver, or bronze in Winter or Summer Olympics.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Very, very best of luck. And that is up to the 2013 ceremony.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Alex S, welcome.- Hi.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Good to have you here. From London. What do you do, Alex?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm a brand manager at a smoothies company.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Now, that's fun.- Yeah, it is good. - Isn't it?- Yeah.- Where are you based?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09We are based in London.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12You are based actually in the place where they make the smoothies?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- No.- Oh, isn't that a shame?!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17There is the kitchen where they make the samples first, so...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- OK.- We get to try them. - Let's just get this out of the way -
0:04:20 > 0:04:22there is no shortage of smoothies at the place where you work.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- No shortage of smoothies.- And what are your hobbies aside from that?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Um, so I love sport.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I play netball every week with a group of girls from uni.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35And I love going running. I did the marathon a few years back
0:04:35 > 0:04:37with my husband, which was fun.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And I've just had a little girl, so at the moment,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm playing mum quite a lot.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- Congratulations.- Thank you. - Now then, Alex, yes,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49is this a good subject for you? Maybe not too bad.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Hopefully not too bad.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Um... I feel like I might be going for a very obvious answer, though.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- I'm going to say Andy Murray. - Andy Murray,
0:04:58 > 0:04:59says Alex.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Andy Murray.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Not a bad score to get the ball rolling.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yeah. When he was presented
0:05:18 > 0:05:21with the award, he said, "No matter how excited I try and make my
0:05:21 > 0:05:23"voice sound, it always sounds boring,
0:05:23 > 0:05:24"but I promise you, I am excited."
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Aw.- I feel sorry.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29People say, "You don't do jokes," and the one time he tried a joke
0:05:29 > 0:05:30about ten years ago, he said,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33"I'll support anyone but England in football," which is a joke,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35literally, he has never heard the end of it since.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Yeah.- Every single time he does an interview, people go,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- "You did this." No wonder he didn't do any jokes.- Yeah.- Blimey.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I'm a huge fan.- Same here, a huge fan.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yeah, he is a good man.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Now, Alex T. God, it is just Alexes everywhere you look, isn't it?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I know, I don't like it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53LAUGHTER
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- I'm just saying.- All right. There are four of us.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Individually, I like all of you - absolutely, don't get me wrong -
0:05:58 > 0:06:00but four of you... Phhh!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That is a surfeit of Alexes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Or a sur-alex, as they call it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Alex, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10What do you do, Alex?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I am a trainee solicitor and a football agent.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14A foo...! You almost swallowed that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16A trainee solicitor and football agent.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Is there any crossover at all between them?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I mean, you don't cover legal sports?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yeah, we do sports law at my firm sometimes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I think I meant sports law rather than legal sports.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- LAUGHTER - Legal sports,
0:06:29 > 0:06:30that's a different thing.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It is illegal sports you want to be looking at, Alex.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- That is where the money is.- Love it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Um...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- And what are your hobbies, Alex? - I like to play...
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I like to play football as well.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Five-a-side for a team called Athletico Stones.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- OK.- Yep.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Do you do it as just fun legal stuff with a few mates as well?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- A pub legal team?- Yeah, often the two don't go hand-in-hand,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57do they? But I try and find some when I can.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00OK, now, Alex, we are looking for anyone who has won
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Sports Personality of the Year and an Olympic medal.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Um... I've got two in mind.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12One of them is fairly risky because I'm not 100% sure whether
0:07:12 > 0:07:15they won an Olympic medal or not.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16But...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'm going to go for it anyway.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Princess Anne.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Princess Anne. Princess Anne, let's see if that is right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Our first big risk of the show, very exciting.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Let's see how many people said it if it is right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Oh, dear.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'm sorry, Alex, I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It may well not be the last of the round, so all may not be lost.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Yes. She never won an Olympic medal, I'm afraid.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45She did win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but not the Olympic medal.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Georgia, welcome. Welcome.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- You are at university.- Yes. - At Cheltenham.- Yep.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55And what you studying?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Criminology and psychology.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Wow. What year are you in? - In my last year.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Has it overall been a success, Georgia?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- SHE SIGHS - Yeah, I'd say so.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The criminal world should be a little bit worried.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I don't know why I'm looking there. I don't mean...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, this is just a minefield.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15But the criminal fraternity shouldn't be resting too easy
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- in their beds with you finishing your course.- No.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- In a matter of months, weeks even.- Yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Then you will be out there, on their cases.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Well, doing a master's and then... - Oh, so they've got a year.- Yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31OK. So, a criminal mastermind watching right now...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- They've got time to prepare.- OK.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But after that... Eh-eh-eh!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38That's it, Georgia is going to be onto them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- What are you doing when you are not doing that?- I love Zumba.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Cos I like to bake as well, so I think the two go hand-in-hand,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48cos I like to bake and then I go to Zumba.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Somebody should devise a sort of workout while you are making cakes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53That would be brilliant.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56So every time you go down to check the oven, you could do maybe...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Check it ten times. - Dangle some food off a weight.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Yeah, absolutely fantastic.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And then by the time the cake is ready, you've earned it!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Yeah, definitely.- Brilliant.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Georgia, what are you going to go for?- Sports is not my thing at all.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So I'm going to...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16take a guess, cos I think Betsy is quite good at this.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- So I'll go for Jessica Ennis. - Jessica Ennis, says Georgia.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Let's see if that's right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Let's see how many of our 100 said Jessica Ennis.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Oh, Georgia,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'm sorry. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Betsy is going to have to be good at this.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- 100 is what you score.- She's got the opposite problem to Princess Anne,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm afraid. Obviously, she is an Olympic medallist
0:09:40 > 0:09:43but has never won Sports Personality of the Year.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Thanks, Richard. Now, Zander.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Zander.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48What a name!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- A great name.- What a name. What do you do, Zander?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52I'm a betting shop manager.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Is it a big chain that you are part of?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55It is, yes.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- A well-known national chain of betting shops.- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I see. And do you have an interest, obviously, in sports?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I imagine that's why you went into it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Yeah, I've got a big interest in sport.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09So this is going to be really bad if I get this wrong.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13But, yeah, I really like football.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Actually, I watch a lot of sport.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Just...not cricket.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Everything but cricket? - Just too English for me.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Straying into Andy Murray territory there, Zander.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- It's only a joke.- Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31What are you going to go for?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36I've got an answer in my head and I really hope it is right. Dai Greene.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Dai Greene.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40OK, Dai Greene, let's see if that is right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Ah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51100 proving quite a popular score this round.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I'm afraid another
0:10:52 > 0:10:54incorrect answer, scoring you the maximum there.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Zander, sorry.- Sorry, Zander, the 400m hurdler.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58He's got the same problem as Jessica Ennis -
0:10:58 > 0:11:01he's never won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Also, he has the same problem as Princess Anne in that he hasn't won
0:11:04 > 0:11:06an Olympic medal, but... LAUGHTER
0:11:08 > 0:11:10..that aside,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- it is a terrific answer.- It is.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14It is.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Well, 46 the best - some might say only - score of the round.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Alex, it's yours, very well done, putting you and Jon
0:11:24 > 0:11:25in a very safe position at this stage.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Then, Zander and Neil, Georgia and Betsy,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30and Alex T and Suzanne are all on 100.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So, yes, Neil, Betsy and Suzanne, it's between the three of you.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36HE SIGHS
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- OK, Neil, welcome to the show. - Hello.- Great to have you here.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- What do you do, Neil?- I'm a student. - What are you studying?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Sport and fitness.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Excellent. Sport and fitness. I see it now.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Actually, actually, let's just step back.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Zander, he said he watches a lot of sport.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Follows sport very closely.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think he said something along lines of,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I got this wrong?"
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Um... Anyway, there we are. I just bring that up for fun.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Neil, sport and fitness.- That's right.- So, what year are you in?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I just started.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15How much time do you spend in a track suit
0:12:15 > 0:12:16studying sport and fitness?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Or is it mainly studying the science behind sport and fitness?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22There's percentages. So it's broken down as percentages.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24As the higher the course goes,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27it's more written work in the actual college itself.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32OK, right you are. Now then, Neil, we need...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You know what we need from you. You know.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39I think I will go with a Scottish hero - Sir Chris Hoy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Sir Chris Hoy, says Neil. Sir Chris Hoy. No red line for you.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You are joint high scorers. Let's see how many people said
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Sir Chris Hoy.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Well, 46 was our high score, and low score.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57You pass that beautifully.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Look at that, 7, very well done indeed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00107 is your total.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Very well played, Neil, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10He won in 2008, and six gold medals as well for Chris Hoy.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Thanks very much.- Sir Chris Hoy. - Sir Chris Hoy. Yeah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Now, Betsy.- Hello.- Betsy, welcome to the show, great to have you here.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- What do you do? - I'm a history student.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Also at Cheltenham.- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Also in your third year.- Yes. - Enjoying it?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- It has been good? - Yeah, really enjoying it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Nearly coming to an end. - Yeah, I can't believe it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- What's the thing you'll miss most about Cheltenham?- Um,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35it would have to be...my friends.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Like, at university,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38you get a really nice sort of community spirit.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And also living with Georgia.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But, I mean, you'll all be moving on together,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- so, presumably, you'll all keep up.- Yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Some of us are planning to stay at Cheltenham,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- so we'll kind of all still meet up. - Very good.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Now, listen, Georgia trailed you, Betsy, as really good at this.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Yeah, no pressure from Georgia there.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59If you want to be guaranteed a place in the next round,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01you have to score 6 or less.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK, yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Why not(?) Um...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I was also going to say Princess Anne,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09so I'm kind of glad I didn't say that.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Um... I am going to go with...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Kelly Holmes. - Kelly Holmes, says Betsy.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Kelly Holmes. Here's your red line.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Get below that, you're in the next round.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Let's see how many people said Kelly Holmes, if it's right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27It is right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, Sir Chris Hoy scored 7.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Kelly Holmes...
0:14:33 > 0:14:34gets you through, scores 6!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Exactly what you needed.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Betsy, you've lived up to your billing,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42very well done indeed. 106, your total - you're through.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Terrific answer, Betsy, very well played.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yeah, she won two gold medals in the Athens Olympics in 2004 and,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48unsurprisingly,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51won the Sports Personality of the Year in the same year.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Suzanne, welcome.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- What do you do, Suzanne? - I'm in-between jobs at the moment.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- What was your last job? - Online marketing.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What will your next job be?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I really don't know.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Oh, I see. Oh, that's good. - I don't know.- So in-between...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- It might be... Why not? - I feel like a change.- Good.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15So I'm looking forward to something, something or other.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Well, Richard is sometimes a careers adviser.- Me? Yeah, absolutely.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Firefighter?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- I'll see you later, then.- Um... Also, I'd like to be the person...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'll tell you a job I think would be a good job.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I don't know if one is available.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The person who feeds the otters at the zoo.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32If they want food. Otters, they're very cute.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'd quite like to do that as a job. LAUGHTER
0:15:35 > 0:15:37They're quite cute as long as you're not a fish.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Then they're uncute.- Yeah.- Or I'd like to be head of the World Bank.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I would like to do that as well. - Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Or I'd also like to work in a key-cutting shop.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49LAUGHTER It would be good, wouldn't it?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52All those little machines, they're up to something.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57You also get to put extra holes in people's belts.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00People have lost a lot of weight, they come in, they say,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02"I'd like an extra couple of holes in my belt, please."
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You'd be the first person to congratulate them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08"Congratulations on your weight loss."
0:16:08 > 0:16:11That'd be nice. You can say, "You're looking very good, sir."
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- And then say, "That's a tenner." - That's good.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20I'd say I'd work in a poetry locksmith's,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and I'd say, "You're looking svelte, here's your belt."
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I would say... You know what, if you could do better than that...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29LAUGHTER
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I didn't know I was going to be talking about musical locksmiths,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- like, a minute ago. I didn't know. - Do you know what would be nice?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39If you work in one of those shops, a key cutter and a belt-loop,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44locksmith place, chances are you're going to sell some trophies as well.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47So you could just take one off the shelf, when no-one's looking,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50engrave it with your name and give it to yourself.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Oh, that's a great idea.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Employee of the Month, it might be won one day.- Or...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sports Personality of the Year.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Which reminds me... Yes, there we go.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Um... So, yes, Suzanne.- Right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- You know what you have to do - score 6 or less.- I know.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10There are a few I've got in mind.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13But I'm going to go with Steve Redgrave.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Steve Redgrave, says Suzanne. OK, here's your red line.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Get below that, you're definitely in the next round.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Let's see how many people said Steve Redgrave.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's right.
0:17:32 > 0:17:3421 for Steve Redgrave.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38121 is your total, Suzanne and Alex T.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Yeah, it's a good answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Five gold medals
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and he won the Sports Personality of the Year in the year 2000.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jon, welcome. Good to have you here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- What do you do, Jon? - I work in IT.- What sort of IT?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I mean, are you attached to a company that does a particular
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- thing?- Yeah, I work for a company
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and I look after software development and support.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- I do programmes.- That's pretty much exactly IT. That's it, yep.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Good, got you. What do you do in your spare time?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I enjoy sport, I enjoy the outdoors
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and I've also got a couple of gorgeous daughters,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- who are very young, which keep me occupied at the moment.- How young?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Three and one.- That is young.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Um, OK. Well, now, Jon.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26You have to score 74 or less. I think this is eminently doable.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27What are you going to go for?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I've got a couple of thoughts on this,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33but in a very similar theme to what came earlier.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- I'm going to go for Zara Phillips. - Zara Phillips.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK, here's your red line.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41If you can get below that, you're in the next round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Zara Phillips.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It's right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Through you go. Very well done indeed, Jon.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5753, your total.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03APPLAUSE
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Well played, Jon.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yeah, she won 35 years after her mother, Princess Anne,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07won the same award.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11And, of course, she was part of the team that won the medal in London.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Let's take a look at
0:19:12 > 0:19:15some of the pointless answers. Surprisingly, there's quite a few.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's take a look.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You could've had the swimmer Anita Lonsbrough.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You could've had the figure skater John Curry.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24David Broome, the show jumper, was a pointless answer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27David Hemery, the athlete.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Dorothy Hyman, the sprinter, won two gold medals.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Gordon Pirie, middle-distance runner.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Could've had Liz McColgan, long-distance runner.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Mary Rand, long jumper. And Robin Cousins, another figure skater.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40That's all the pointless answers. I'll give you the low ones.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42You could've had 1 point for Fatima Whitbread,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Brendan Foster, Lennox Lewis and Jonathan Edwards.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You'd have got 2 points for Linford Christie,
0:19:48 > 0:19:493 for Cramm and Ovett.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You'd have got 4 for Mary Peters.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You'd have got 11 for Torvill and Dean.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You'd have got 12 for Daley Thompson, 16 for Seb Coe.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Let's take a look at the top three. We've heard a couple of them already.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Thank you very much indeed, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13the pair who are heading home with a score of 121,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15it's Suzanne and Alex T.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, we're one Alex down!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21We're only a quarter of the way through and the first Alex
0:20:21 > 0:20:24has fallen. We'll have to look forward to seeing you next time
0:20:24 > 0:20:26and have to get by on that, I'm afraid.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- It's been great having you on. Thanks very much.- BOTH:- Thank you.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42And so now we're down to three pairs.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Clearly, at the end of this round,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I don't know who that's going to be. But I have plaudits to hand out.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well done, Alex and Jon, for being our lowest scoring pair.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Well done to Georgia and Betsy for our lowest individual score.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58And well done on the last podium for being called Zander.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Our category for Round Two is...
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Literature.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15OK, and the question concerns...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Novels with a name in their title. Richard.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25On each board, we're going to show you the names of six novels,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28but we've left out a first name from each of their titles.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Can you tell us what that name is, please?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32There's six on the first board, six on the second,
0:21:32 > 0:21:3412 in all, to have a go at home. Good luck.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38OK, so we're looking for the missing name in each of these titles.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40And here's our first board of six.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41We've got...
0:21:57 > 0:21:58I'll read those all again.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Alex.- Um, yes, I think I know a couple of these.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But I think I'm probably going to take myself back to my teenage
0:22:16 > 0:22:20years with Judy Blume and say Are You There, God?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21It's Me, Margaret.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Margaret, says Alex. Margaret. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It's right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38That is a great score.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Very well done indeed, Alex. 9 for Margaret.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Great answer, Alex, very well played.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48When she finished writing the book, Judy Blume
0:22:48 > 0:22:51said she had no idea for a title, so she just took the first line.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53She says she's had to recite it so often now, though, she wishes
0:22:53 > 0:22:56she'd just called it Margaret. ALEX A LAUGHS
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Fair enough.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Betsy.- Yes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02What are you going to go for?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Um... I definitely know two, but I just think they're far too obvious.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07So I'm going to take a little bit of a gamble.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Sorry, George, if it doesn't pay off.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I'm going to go for the second one down, and Pippi Longstocking.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Pippi Longstocking, says Betsy.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's right.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Not bad. Good enough. - Well played, Betsy.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33That was originally going to be called Are You There, God?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's Me, Pippi Longstocking.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Thanks, Richard.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Now, Zander, you're the last person to have this board.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Do you want to talk us through it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I'd like to talk you through it, but I can't.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46I know the obvious one -
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50And James And The Giant Peach.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52The other two...not a clue.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56So I'll go with James And The Giant Peach.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58James And The Giant Peach, says Zander.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Let's see if that's right. Let's how many people said James.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's right... Ooh, look at that, 80.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- 80 for James And The Giant Peach. - 80 is a big score, but
0:24:12 > 0:24:14actually, you picked the better one
0:24:14 > 0:24:16of the two that you know. What do you think Harry Potter scored?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I'm going to go for 100. - Oh, it's not 100, actually.- Really?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- It's not far off it, though. 97 points.- 97.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I would say well done if you got that at home, but, come on.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27LAUGHTER Now, the other two,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- can you fill those in?- Katie. - What Katie Did, yep.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Another quite big scorer. Would have scored you 43.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- And Adam Bede.- Ah!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38By Eliot. And that would have scored you 16.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So the best answer on the board, Alex, was Margaret. Well played.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45We're halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:24:45 > 0:24:489, the best score of the pass. Well done, Alex. Puts you and Jon
0:24:48 > 0:24:51in a very comfortable position. Then we move up to 49,
0:24:51 > 0:24:52where we find Betsy and Georgia.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55And 80, where we find Zander and Neil.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56You're quite far ahead of the field.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So, yes, Neil, we need a low score from you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00We'll come back down the line now.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK, let's put six more book titles up on the board,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10and here they are, with missing first names.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Neil.- Right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I know a few of them.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Well, two of them for definite and another one I'm not 100% sure.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I think I'll go with The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51You're going to say Charlie.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53OK, you're the high-scorers, so no red line for you,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but let's see how many of our 100 people said Charlie.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01It's right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Second-lowest score of the round
0:26:11 > 0:26:13so far, Neil, very well done.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- 95, your total.- Well played, Neil. Might have kept yourself in it there.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19They made it into a film with Zac Efron.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Georgia, 45 or less.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25This is really frustrating cos
0:26:25 > 0:26:28the last board, I could answer four.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And this board, I can only answer one.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33And it's really obvious.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So I don't know whether to take a risk.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I'll go for... No, I'll just... Goodnight Mister Tom.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Goodnight Mister Tom.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Goodnight Mister Tom, let's see if that's right.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Let's see how many people said that. There's your red line.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49It's right.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Taking your total up to 103.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Yeah, sold over a million copies, Goodnight Mister Tom.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Now then, Jon, you're the last person once again.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm afraid I can't.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Um...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16The only answer there I do know, I believe, is Anna Karenina.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Anna Karenina, says Jon. Here's your red line.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23You want to be scoring 93 or less, so not too much of an ask.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Let's see how far down the column you get with Anna.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Well done.
0:27:36 > 0:27:3876, your total.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Actually the highest scorer on the board, that, surprisingly. It beats
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Chuzzlewit, which is... - Martin.- Martin Chuzzlewit.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- 51 points that scored.- Really? - Yeah, isn't that amazing?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's been on telly as well and everything.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Now, We Need To Talk About... - Kevin.- We do indeed.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55That would have scored you 36. Do you know My Cousin...?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Rachel.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- It is My Cousin Rachel.- Yeah. - Very well done. 11 points.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Thanks very much indeed. At the end of our second round,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05the pair who are heading home with a high score of 103,
0:28:05 > 0:28:06I'm so sorry,
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Georgia and Betsy.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Not way ahead there, but I'm afraid
0:28:09 > 0:28:11you came out in front at the end, We have to say goodbye.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13We'll see you again next time.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Thanks for playing. Georgia and Betsy.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18APPLAUSE
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But for Zander and Neil, and Alex and Jon,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Congratulations, Alex and Jon, Zander and Neil,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32you're now one step closer to the final and the chance to play
0:28:32 > 0:28:36for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Well done. Your first appearance
0:28:38 > 0:28:40and both straight through to the head-to-head.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Alex and Jon, nice consistent low scores.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Our low-scorers in each round so far.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48And Zander and Neil, some good answering from you as well.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49You can put your heads together now,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52so I think this is going to be very close indeed.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Roxie Hart. Richard.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Yeah, we'll show you pictures now of five actors, all of whom
0:29:11 > 0:29:13have played Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Can you tell us who these actors are, please?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Thanks very much indeed. So let's reveal our five actors.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19And here they come. We have got...
0:29:44 > 0:29:45OK, there we are.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Five actresses who have played Roxie Hart.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Alex and Jon, you've been our low-scorers so far,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52so you will go first.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57THEY WHISPER
0:30:02 > 0:30:06We know a couple of them up there, but we're going to try C.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And we think it's Bonnie Langford.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Bonnie Langford, say Alex and Jon. Bonnie Langford.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Now, Zander and Neil, do you fancy talking us through that board
0:30:14 > 0:30:16if you can?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I wish that we could.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21We're not really sure who any of the actresses are,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23if we're honest with you.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I think we're going to go a stab in the dark,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27cos she kind of looks like her.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29D - Heather Locklear.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Heather Locklear, say Zander and Neil. D - Heather Locklear.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37So we have Bonnie Langford vs Heather Locklear.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Bonnie Langford, say Alex and Jon. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It's right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:5942. Meanwhile, Zander and Neil have said that D is Heather Locklear.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Let's see if that's right.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Oh. Not Heather Locklear, I'm afraid.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Which means, Alex and Jon, after one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Yeah, not Heather Locklear. It's Christie Brinkley.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18That would have scored you 3 points. Would have been a very good answer.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Bonnie Langford actually the highest scorer on the board, funnily enough.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26A is Suzanne Shaw.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Hear'Say and many other things.
0:31:28 > 0:31:3022 points for her.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32B is Brooke Shields.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34She would have scored you 18.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37And E, from Destiny's Child,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40it's Michelle Williams.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41And she would have scored 1.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43So Michelle Williams, the best answer up there.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Zander and Neil, you answer first,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51It concerns...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Famous comedians and their stand-up tours.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00We'll give you the titles now of five stand-up tours by five comedians.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02We'll also give you their initials.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Can you tell us who those comedians are, please?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal the five tour titles.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09And here they come...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I'll read those all again.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Zander and Neil, over to you.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39THEY WHISPER
0:32:45 > 0:32:49So I've been given the nod of guidance by Zander here for this.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52We know one for sure, but we think the other team,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55they'll know another one which will probably be less points.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So we're going to go on a limb and say that Laughter Therapy, JC,
0:32:58 > 0:32:59is Jim Caviezel.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Jim Caviezel.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Jim Caviezel, say Zander and Neil for JC.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Now then, Alex and Jon, do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:33:09 > 0:33:14Um, I think My, What I Call, Live Show is Miranda Hart.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Spexy Beast, I'm guessing, might be Alan Carr.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Um, The Only Way Is Epic, I'm guessing is probably
0:33:20 > 0:33:23an Essex comedian, but I don't know one, so I'm not going to say that.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29And I don't know Home Bird. So I think we'll go for Miranda Hart.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31OK, Miranda Hart.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33So we have Jim Caviezel vs Miranda Hart.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Zander and Neil have said
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Jim Caviezel for Laughter Therapy. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48Oh, I'm sorry, Neil and Zander, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Which means, Alex and Jon, you merely have to be correct with
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Miranda Hart and you will win this point and go through to the final.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Is it right?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00It is, very well done.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Which means, after only two questions,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Alex and Jon are straight through to the final,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- 2-nil.- Great work, Alex and Jon, well played.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Yeah, Jim Caviezel is an American actor, a serious one as well.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But it is a Jim, but it's Jimmy Carr.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Would have scored you 23 points.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Did you know who I thought that was?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Who?- I thought that was John Cleese.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- I thought Laughter Therapy sounded very John Cleese.- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Spexy Beast, Alex, you were right, it was Alan Carr.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Would have scored you 53.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- The Only Way Is Epic - AM? - I'm struggling with that one.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Tricky initials, aren't they? It's Al Murray.- Oh!
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Would have scored you 10. And Home Bird?- Sarah Millican.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Brilliant Sarah Millican, yep. Would have scored you 20.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Al Murray the best answer. Well done if you said that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Zander and Neil. I'm so sorry
0:34:59 > 0:35:01we didn't serve up questions that suited you, I'm afraid.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I was hoping there'd be some good sport questions, where
0:35:04 > 0:35:06you could come running back in. But never mind.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08We'll see you next time, when I hope you'll make it
0:35:08 > 0:35:10to the head-to-head again and maybe to the final as well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Thanks very much for playing. Zander and Neil.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:21But for Alex and Jon, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Congratulations, Alex and Jon. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:27 > 0:35:30and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Well, it had to happen sooner or later, an Alex final.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46What about that?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49What were the chances of that happening?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Well, they were 75%, actually, weren't they?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53But anyway, well done.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Low-scorers in each round and 2-nil in the head-to-head.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58There's no arguing with that.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01A very, very strong performance across the show.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Well, as always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:36:03 > 0:36:06on the board. Let's hope there's something you like.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Today's selection is...
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Maybe '70s, we could both have a go at it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I wouldn't be very good at that, I don't think.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Shall we do FIFA World Cup?
0:36:24 > 0:36:25No.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27No?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Uh... OK, '70s.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32OK, you're going to go for '70s Music Acts.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Here are your three questions.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We're looking for any UK top 40 hit by any of the following groups.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49That's Greatest Hits, John Denver Collection.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56The original release of that, please.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up
0:37:00 > 0:37:02with three answers. All you need to win the jackpot is for just
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Your time starts now.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13That was the one category, wasn't it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- THEY LAUGH - Um...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Slight problem, I don't really know any of those.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20So... I could guess.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Bay City Rollers did Bye Bye Baby, I'm sure.- OK.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25But that's a pretty big hit,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28so I don't think it's going to particularly help us.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- At least let's do one that's not going to be 100.- OK.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Showaddywaddy...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I don't know them.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Um, and John Denver...
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- Have you got any...?- No, I think we just make two others up.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Show we're true experts at this subject.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50OK, so Bye Bye Baby.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Yep.- We've got 20 seconds to think of... Showaddywaddy...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I just want to say something like...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Showaddywaddy.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05So...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Um... And then you guess the last one on John Denver.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Thanks.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12OK, that is your time up.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14This is going to be fun, you're going to make up two songs.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Excellent. What answers are you going to give me?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- We'll go for Bye Bye Baby. - Bye Bye Baby by?- Bay City Rollers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Bay City Rollers.- Um...
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Let's go Showaddywaddy...
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Take Me Back.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Take Me Back, Showaddywaddy.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34And... Northern Town by Bay City Rollers.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Northern Town by Bay City Rollers,
0:38:38 > 0:38:39says Jon.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK, now, of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Bye Bye Baby.- Bye Bye Baby, we'll put last. OK, very good.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Least likely to be pointless? Pick one.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Northern Town.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Northern Town.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55And here they are.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00We've got Northern Town, Take Me Back and Bye Bye Baby.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Well, very best of luck. Three...answers on the board there.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- LAUGHTER - Um...
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Let's imagine one of them wins you that jackpot.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13LAUGHTER
0:39:13 > 0:39:16What would you do with this £1,000
0:39:16 > 0:39:17if you won it?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I'd probably invest it in a large catalogue of '70s music.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- LAUGHTER - Start learning.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30I would probably try and improve my cooking skills.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I'm a bit of an unwrapper and put it in the oven.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34So, a cooking course.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- OK, well, best of luck.- I don't think I'll be going, but we'll see.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You ne... I was going to say you never know,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- quite often you do, though. - LAUGHTER
0:39:41 > 0:39:43No, you never do. You never know. Who knows?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46You're first answer - Northern Town.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49In this case, we were looking for Bay City Rollers UK top 40 singles.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Let's see if Northern Town exists for £1,000.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01No, not Northern Town. Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You're next answer was Take Me Back, in this case, by Showaddywaddy.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07It has to be... It has to exist,
0:40:07 > 0:40:11then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. For £1,000,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13let's see what happens when we say Take Me Back.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17No.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22However, we're now onto terra firma here.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Your last answer we are pretty sure is correct.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I mean, who knows? We are looking for Bay City Rollers
0:40:27 > 0:40:29songs, maybe people have forgotten
0:40:29 > 0:40:30all about the Bay City Rollers and this...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32You're going to say Bye Bye Baby.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33It has to be right,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot. For £1,000,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39let's see how many people said Bye Bye Baby.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- It's right.- Yay!
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Well, your first answer, Northern Town,
0:40:46 > 0:40:47I'm afraid was incorrect,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50as indeed was Take Me Back, your second answer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Bye Bye Baby, though,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54taking us down through the 20s... To 23.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55There we are.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Oh, I'm sorry. Well, a game effort, I have to say,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04when confronted with a nigh impossible category for you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07You didn't know that one at all. But you didn't do badly, really.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12so I'm afraid you won't be taking our jackpot home today.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14That £1,000 will be rolling over to the next show.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16But we've enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Great performance throughout. You can be very proud of that.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You get a Pointless trophy to take home each as well.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- So well done.- Thank you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Yeah, unfortunate finish there. I think your performance deserved more.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers here.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Bay City Rollers, all four of these are top ten hits.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39A number one here as well.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- There's a theme developing with the Bay City Rollers songs.- Hm.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Also, I Only Want To Be With You, It's A Game,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Money Honey, Remember - Shalala.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Or You Make Me Believe In Magic. All of those are pointless answers.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Well done if you said any of those.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Let's have a look at Showaddywaddy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Who Put The Bomp In The Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05They never did find out, did they?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- No, they did. - Oh, they did? Who was it?
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- Yes, it was actually Simon Cowell in a very early incarnation.- Was it?!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Goodness me. And Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- They definitely didn't find out the answer to that.- No.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20You also could've had Hey Mr Christmas, Multiplication,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Remember Then, Rock'n'roll Lady and Sweet Music.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25All those are pointless answers. And John Denver,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28let's take a look at a few tracks from The Ultimate John Denver.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You also could've had Fly Away, Follow Me, I'm Sorry
0:42:36 > 0:42:37and Mr Bo Jangles.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Alex and Jon,
0:42:44 > 0:42:45but a great performance today.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47We loved having you. Thanks for playing.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Alex and Jon, great contestants.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, sadly, Alex and Jon didn't win our jackpot today.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
