0:00:13 > 0:00:14APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and a very warm welcome to Pointless, the show where
0:00:26 > 0:00:29obvious answers mean nothing, and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Georgia, this is my friend Betsy,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- and we're students from Cheltenham. - Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hello, I'm Richard.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is my wife, Isobel, and we're from Redditch in Worcestershire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Zander. This is my friend Neil.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- We're from Wishaw in Scotland. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Alex, this is my mother Suzanne, and we're from Essex.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you through the show
0:01:01 > 0:01:04as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07He's not in two minds. He's got at least five or six in there.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Good afternoon.- And to you.- Are you well today?- I am well.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Last show, we had a Zander and we had two Alexes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We've got a Zander still with us, we've got
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Alex still with us, and now we've got a Richard as well.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Suddenly Zander v Richard.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- That's interesting all of a sudden, isn't it?- Middle there.- Yeah!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Tall gentleman, wears the same kind shirt as me.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Obligingly tall, exactly. Yeah. How you feeling?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You're backing Zander against Richard?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It's an interesting... Look.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Zander and Neil got through to the head-to-head last time
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and were very good. We have no idea what Richard and Isobel are like.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51They might be awful! You don't know. I'm not saying you are.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I don't think you will be. But you might be.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- We don't know. We don't have enough information.- No.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I just met them now, and they exude a kind of...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04intellectual confidence, shall we say?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Are you saying Zander and Neil don't exude...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08No! I'm not saying that!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- I'm just...- Guys, did you hear that?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Whoa!- It was... I'm just saying.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15We know Zander and Neil are good already.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18We now that cos they got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So, three returning pairs, a Richard...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23That's the perfect show, isn't it?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26A Zander, Richard v Zander, and a first round, a very,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- very British first round.- Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Now, Alex and John didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40There we are.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51There's only one rule you have to remember and it is this, the pair
0:02:51 > 0:02:54with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55That's it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Just do everything you can to make sure you are not in that pair.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Our first category today...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02..is UK transport.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07UK transport. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:07 > 0:03:08who's going to go second?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Railway stations. Richard.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24On each past, going to show you the names of seven UK railway
0:03:24 > 0:03:27stations, but we've left out the name of the town or city that they serve.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Can you tell us which station is which, please?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, so very best of luck.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So, which towns are served by these railway stations?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48I'll read those again.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Georgia?- Yes.- Welcome.- Hi.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05- You're in your last year at Cheltenham.- Mm-hm.- Criminology.- Yep.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- And psychology.- Yeah. - Do you think you'll go into that?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Is that going to be your area of expertise?- Hopefully.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16After a few more years, maybe a Master's, a bit of experience.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Where will you do you Master's, at Cheltenham as well?- Hopefully, yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Betsy said she's going to be staying in Cheltenham,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- so you'll have your pals.- She's not leaving.- She's not allowed to.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- She's not allowed.- No.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So, Georgia, now back to the board.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Erm... Awful. I know two.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- That's good!- Very obvious.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40So, I'll just go for Lime Street and say Liverpool.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Liverpool, Lime Street, says Georgia.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Liverpool.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48It's right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:5165.
0:04:53 > 0:04:5565 for Liverpool.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57So much better than 100, though, Georgia.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's a pretty tough board as well, I would say.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Yes, 13 million exits and entrances every year, Liverpool Lime Street.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's only got 52 bicycle storage spaces.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08That doesn't seem like enough to me!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Isobel. Welcome to Pointless.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Great to have you here. What do you do?- I've just retired from teaching.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Nyib-nyib-jib! You see?!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- A teacher!- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Honestly, with respect to you, you've got to stop having a go at Zander
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- and Neil.- I'm not having a go at them!- Everything you're saying is...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I mean, come on. They are human beings.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28LAUGHTER
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- And they got through to the head-to-head.- Oh, they're fine.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Sorry, who ISN'T fine?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37No, I'm just saying the competition is going to be stiff. I'm not...
0:05:37 > 0:05:42This is why I was hesitating before backing Zander against Richard,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44that's all I'm saying.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49CHUCKLING
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Welcome. What did you teach, Isobel?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I was in a middle school, so it was a mixture,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- so I did technology, ICT and some maths as well.- OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- When did you retire? - Last July.- Oh, I see.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So, it's a new thing, retirement. Are you loving it?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I am absolutely loving it. - Fabulous. Now, Isobel.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Isobel, how do you find these railway stations?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10There's only one I know.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11ISOBEL LAUGHS
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And it's our fairly local one, so it's New Street, Birmingham.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Birmingham New Street.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Was that the other one you were thinking of, Georgia?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Birmingham, says Isobel. Let's see how many of our 100 said Birmingham.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, Liverpool got 65,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Birmingham passes that. 54.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31They won't like that in Birmingham!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- 54.- Yeah, the obvious ones are beginning to drop off now.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42The busiest station in the UK outside of London. Eighth busiest in all.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Thank you very much indeed. Now, Zander. Don't listen to him.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Don't even listen to him. Remind us what you do, Zander.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I'm a betting shop manager.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54That's right, and in your spare time, what do you like to get up to?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, I play a lot of football.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Trying to keep active as much as possible,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01go to the gym, actually go with my friend Neil.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03He's the one who got me into it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Good stuff. Now, Zander. Stations.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I'll say...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Bank Quay...
0:07:11 > 0:07:12London.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Bank Quay, London, says Zander. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Oh, I'm sorry, Zander.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I bet that's not the last 100 points of the round.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- But, yeah, Bank Quay, not London. - Yeah, sorry, Zander, tough board.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Now, Suzanne. Remind us what you do, Suzanne.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I'm looking for a job at the moment. I'm out of work. Yes, I am.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Any particular things you'd like to do, you'd love to, in fact?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We talked about working in a key cutter's last time,
0:07:48 > 0:07:49and the joys of that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51They've got a frozen yoghurt shop near me,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53which I always think looks like fun.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Yes, that, I think, would be enjoyable. Yes, I'd like to do that.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Everybody is happy.- Absolutely. Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03And also people who go into a frozen yoghurt shop are just
0:08:03 > 0:08:06probably calmer people than people who go into key cutters.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Cos they're in a hurry! "Cut the key!"
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Oh, I'm in a hurry when I go to a frozen yoghurt place.- Do you think?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I think people in there are very happy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- They're having frozen yoghurt. - It's nice.- Sweetened with honey.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You can get bits and pieces to put on top of it as well.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21A nice little business they've got themselves going there.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Always looking for people. - I will try that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24I'm going to bear that one in mind.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27What other things are you applying for?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I did go for an interview in an interior design shop.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- See, that would be all right.- Yes. That's happy and...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Or...- Yeah?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Mountain rescue.- Oh, no.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41That's a bit, "Cut the key! Cut the key!", isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43"Rescue the person!" That's what it is.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47(YAWNING) I'll rescue them soon enough. Ah! Cup of tea, I think.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51The kettle's on. The frozen yoghurt delivery is just about to come.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Sweetened with honey, you know.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- OK, now, Suzanne.- Complete guess.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The only one I can think, possibly, Queen Margaret, Norwich.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Don't know why. Complete stab in the dark.- Well, let's find out.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10There's got to be a station in Norwich.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Let's see if it's called Queen Margaret,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and if it is, let's see if anyone said it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Oh, no. There's that Suzanne groan.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24We heard that last time in Round One.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I just heard it again then.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm afraid an incorrect answer there scores you 100 points.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- But you're in very good company. - Thank you.- Sorry, Suzanne.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I don't think we can blame you on that board.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- It's very tough unless... Do you know any of those other four?- Nope!
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Not one.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40LAUGHTER It really depends.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Anyone know Forster Square? MAN IN AUDIENCE:- Bradford.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Bradford. Absolutely right. We've got a couple of people from Bradford in.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Would've scored you five points. Queen Margaret is a pointless answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Scottish. It's Dunfermline. Very well done if you said that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Wallgate is... Wallgate, anyone?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- WOMAN AND MAN IN AUDIENCE:- Wigan. - Wigan. Blimey. You should be up here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Think of the money you'd make if you were up here!
0:10:04 > 0:10:05LAUGHTER
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Would've scored you three points.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Bank Quay is where Ban Ki-moon is named after, the head of the UN.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12LAUGHTER
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Bank Quay, Warrington. Yeah. See, these are all roughly the same...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Wigan, Warrington. You just live up north, that's all you're doing!
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I know your game. Five points for that. And Gilmour Street is Paisley.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Paisley, Gilmour Street, would've scored you six points.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Best answer on the board, Dunfermline.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:31 > 0:10:3454, the best score of that pass, Isobel and Richard.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Exuding intellectual self-confidence.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The lowest scorers at the halfway point,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40then up to 65, where we see Betsy and Georgia,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44then 100 for Suzanne and Alex and Zander and Neil.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47So, Alex and Neil, it's going to be between the pair of you. Good luck.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Let's hope there's something you like on the next board.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Going back down the line now.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK. Let's put seven more railway stations up on the board,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and here they come. We've got...
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Alex, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Now, we discovered last time you are
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- a solicitor and a sports agent. - That's right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So, how many clients do you have in the sports agency?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I think we have about 15-20 young football players, a cricketer,
0:11:33 > 0:11:34a couple of rugby players
0:11:34 > 0:11:38and then a lot of sports stars who are clients of the law firm as well.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, I see, so it is sort of within the law firm as well.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Yes, that's right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I thought you were sort of running one on the side,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and in the middle of a meeting you have to go, "I'm so sorry.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49"I just have to take this. (It's Wayne Rooney.)"
0:11:49 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So, Alex?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Yeah, I mean, I know a couple of them. Erm...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I'm going to go for Temple Meads...
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Erm, Bristol.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Bristol, says Alex, for Temple Meads.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You're joint high-scorers, so no red line,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09but let's see how far down the column you get with Bristol.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13It's right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17APPLAUSE
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Grade I listed, Bristol Temple Meads.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Very beautiful building.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yeah, interesting.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Neil.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You have a target, you have to score 59 or less.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- I don't think so...- Oh, Neil.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Did you know either of the...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Did you know the Paisley one? Or the Dunfermline one?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- No, I knew Liverpool.- Liverpool.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45That was the only one I knew.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm going to take a guess - because I'm part Geordie -
0:12:48 > 0:12:50so I'm going to say North Gate in Newcastle.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Newcastle, North Gate, says Neil. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57If you can get below this with Newcastle, you're in the next round.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Let's see if it's right, Newcastle, North Gate.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06No, I'm sorry, Neil. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Sorry, Neil. I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14But a good 200 Club high-five there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Thanks, Richard.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Richard, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And what do you do, Richard?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'm a retired teacher as well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23There you are.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Sorry. - LAUGHTER
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Look at that.- That's a high five. - Look at that.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31What's the key to high fives? Look at the elbow, never miss.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Is that what you do? Look at the elbow?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Always look at the elbow. Can't miss.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Richard, what did you teach?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I taught modern languages. Mainly German and French.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Quite often, modern language teachers spend
0:13:45 > 0:13:48a lot of time in the countries of the languages they teach.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51And have you done that? Is your French and German geography...?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54We did. We used to have an exchange in Frankfurt, went there every year.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59But I also had 16 years in the Royal Air Force, teaching languages.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04So we actually lived for a time in Germany. Berlin and Monchengladbach.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- So we were very fortunate. - Right you are.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Richard, good news - you're through.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13You're through, but let's have a good answer from you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16There's two I've got an inkling about.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I'm going to go for Oxford Road and say Manchester.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Oxford Road, Manchester, says Richard. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26No red line for you, because you're already through. Which is nice!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29But let's see if Manchester's right, let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32It is right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39APPLAUSE
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Well played, Richard. Triumphing in the battle of Richard vs Zander as well,
0:14:48 > 0:14:49which is lovely to see.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Yes, Grade II listed,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54a 1960s station with these extraordinary laminated wooden roofs.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's like Sydney Opera House, but with trains.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And in Manchester.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00And with less opera.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Fabulous. Betsy, again - good news!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- I have great news for you, you're through.- Yes.- You are through.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10We discovered last time you're a student at Cheltenham
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- in your last year. What are you studying?- History.- That's right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And what are you going to do when you leave, do you know?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I would like to be a teacher.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- History teacher?- Yes, at secondary.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Well, best of luck with that.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You're through to the next round, which is also nice,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28so there'll be no red line or any of that sort of nonsense. For fun...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Yeah?- Take us through the board.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I am extremely lucky with this board,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38because I only know one answer apart from Temple Meads,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42and it's literally just because I'm actually from Cornwall.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Basically, before I had my car up at uni, I used to take the train
0:15:45 > 0:15:48from Cheltenham to Cornwall, and have to pass the station.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So I'm going to go with St Davids and Exeter.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Exeter St Davids, says Betsy.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said that. No red line, as I say.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Look at that, what a great answer! - APPLAUSE
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Well played, Betsy. Exeter St Davids,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16it's the gateway to the south-west, Exeter St Davids, isn't it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18You have to go through it on the train, you don't
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- have to go through it in a car, that'd be ridiculous.- And dangerous.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22It'd be very dangerous.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Don't go through Exeter St Davids station in a car.- Yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I mean, to be fair, the ticket barriers won't allow that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Unless you have a valid ticket for travel,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32which would be a waste of money.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's a tough board unless you live in these places.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Sunnyside.- That's nice.- That's a Scottish one, its Coatbridge.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's a pointless answer as well, well done if you said that.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49North Gate's not Newcastle, its Newark.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52A lot of them are alliterative, aren't they?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55A lot of them are, yeah, it's quite nice. Newark North Gate certainly is.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Bristol Temple Meads, less so. - Less so.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Exeter St Davids, less so.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Yeah, that's true.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Foregate Street is, of course, alliterative...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Fff...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Worcester. LAUGHTER
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12At the end of Round One, the pair heading home,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15our head-to-headers last time round, but I'm afraid our high-scorers
0:17:15 > 0:17:18at the end of this round, that was a really tough round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Quite a good round to be on one of the early podiums for, actually.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I'm so sorry, Neil, Zander, we have to say goodbye,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but it's been great having you on both shows, thanks so much for playing.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Neil and Zander. - APPLAUSE
0:17:31 > 0:17:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35APPLAUSE
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Three pairs remain, obviously, at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Richard and Isobel, our low-scorers there, very well done indeed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Georgia and Betsy, not bad.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Not half bad.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Suzanne and Alex, lovely to have you in Round Two. Very well done.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56We've lost our Zander. Hey, we've still got Alex though!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- So, Alex, keep up the good work. - I will.- I am gunning for you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Best of luck to all three pairs, our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Musicians.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18And our question concerns...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24100 Best Guitarists. Richard.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28We're going to show you 15 pictures in a minute of people, all of whom featured
0:18:28 > 0:18:32in the 100 Best Guitarists of All Time in Rolling Stone magazine in 2011.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Just need you to tell us anybody you're about to see, please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So, as Richard has just said, we're going to put up 15 images,
0:18:39 > 0:18:4315 photographs, and we just need you to name anyone in this picture.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44And here is the picture.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- OK, Betsy.- Yes.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Guitarists.- Yeah.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54What are you going to go for?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58It's quite difficult, I'm not really up with guitar music.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02So I'm going to go with the second one in, top row,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04and say Lenny Hendrix?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10OK, Lenny Hendrix, says Betsy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12No, this isn't sounding good!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Lenny Hendrix, OK. Well, we'll see if that's right,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- I'm sorry.- I recognise his face! - Oh, Betsy, I'm really sorry!
0:19:25 > 0:19:26I'm going to kick myself, I'm sure I am.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think you're going to laugh as well.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- I probably will. - LAUGHTER
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- You've mashed two things brilliantly together there.- Oh, no!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- That scored you 100 points... - Oh, no!- I'm so sorry, Betsy.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- That is a classic first-podium error.- I know.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Sorry, Betsy.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Now, Isobel.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49We're going to go for middle row, far left, Mark Knofler.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Mark Knopfler, let's see if that's right,
0:19:52 > 0:19:53let's see how many people said it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56It's right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03APPLAUSE
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Well played, Isobel - from Dire Straits, of course.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11He's got a dinosaur named after him.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Palaeontologist named a dinosaur after him.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Now then, Suzanne.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Erm...
0:20:18 > 0:20:24I'm going to try again the second one at the top, with Jimi Hendrix.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Jimi Hendrix. OK, let's see if that's right this time,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and let's see how many people said it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Sorry, Betsy.- Sorry! Sorry, George!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34It is right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38APPLAUSE
0:20:41 > 0:20:43He was actually number one on that list,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45the greatest guitarist of all time.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Yeah, Jimi Hendrix - I think you had Lenny Henry on your brain.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- It just sounds great. That's why it made me smile.- Oh, I know.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It was a very good mashup.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0131, the best score of the pass.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Isobel, very well done indeed.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Up to 64 where we find Suzanne and Alex.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And then up to 100, Betsy and Georgia.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Now, Georgia - we need you to come riding to our rescue here.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So when it comes to the end of the round, you must come in with
0:21:12 > 0:21:15a lovely, low score, and let's hope that might keep you in the game.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19We're going to come back down the line now, can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23OK, Alex - remember,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27we're looking for the name of any of the famous guitarists pictured here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I think I know a couple.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I'm going to go for the bottom row, Eric Clapton?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Eric Clapton, says Alex. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42There's your red line, get below that and you're definitely in the head-to-head.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51APPLAUSE
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I'd say that was quite a low score.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Still leaves you a little at risk there.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58He was number two on the list,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Hendrix was number one, Eric Clapton number two.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06OK, now, Richard, you need to score 80 or less.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I think you can do that pretty comfortably.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12There's a couple I do know on there, but I'm going to
0:22:12 > 0:22:18go for the middle row, second in from the right, and say Jimmy Page.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Jimmy Page, says Richard. Let's see if that's right, let's see how
0:22:22 > 0:22:25many people said it. There's your red line, nice and high. Jimmy Page.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's right, and you're through. Very well done.
0:22:33 > 0:22:3414.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That'll do it, Richard. 45 is your total.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Well played. He's on the second row. He was number three on the list,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45so we're picking them off nicely in order.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now. Georgia.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- You have to score 11 or less.- Yeah. That's not going to happen. Erm...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Don't know any, but the first one
0:22:56 > 0:22:59looks like he could be in, like, The Beatles.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05But I don't know what they looked like when they were younger, so...
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Erm, I'll just guess one and four, maybe. I'll go...
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Ringo Starr?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13AUDIENCE MEMBER GROANS LOUDLY
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Wrong.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15LAUGHTER
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Someone in the audience really upset by that.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19LAUGHTER
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Erm, Ringo Starr.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Why not? - OK. There is your red line.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Let's see if that's right, Ringo Starr,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32No! I'm sorry, not Ringo Starr,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I'm afraid. Not a guitarist. Scores you 100 points,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38takes your total up to 200.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yeah, sorry, Georgia. The list would have to be longer than the 100
0:23:41 > 0:23:44greatest guitarists before Ringo Starr got on it, cos, er...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47He's the drummer in The Beatles. But you were absolutely right,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48- that's a Beatle. It's George Harrison.- Aw.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Would've scored you 52 points.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Now, there's four pointless answers up there.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56One of them, the top row there, second from the right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59That is Joni Mitchell. She's a pointless answer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03On the middle row there, second in, he's much better known
0:24:03 > 0:24:06for inventing a guitar than being a guitarist, but he was a guitarist.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It's Les Paul. - Oh, it's Les Paul?- Yep.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15And bottom row, on the left there, the guitarist from Sonic Youth.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17That's Thurston Moore, was a pointless answer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And in the middle there, on the bottom row,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21the King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23He was pointless answer as well. Well done if you got those.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'll take you through the other scorers now.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Top row, we've had George Harrison and Jimi Hendrix.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30We didn't have Willie Nelson for 14.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32There's Joni Mitchell we didn't have.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Muddy Waters for three.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Middle row, we see Knopfler and Les Paul.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You've then got Dave Gilmour,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41who would've scored you four points, from Pink Floyd.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We've had Jimmy Page, and next to him is Chuck Berry.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Chuck Berry would've scored you 13.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48The bottom row, we've had them all apart from the last two.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Pete Townshend would've scored you 16
0:24:50 > 0:24:55and James Hetfield from Metallica, who would've scored you eight.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:24:59 > 0:25:02with their score of 200, I'm afraid, Georgia and Betsy.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Well, you've had a great run, and you're going out in a blaze
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- of 200 Club glory.- Yay!- Yeah.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye to you so soon,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13but it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Georgia and Betsy, great contestants.- Thank you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:18 > 0:25:21But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Congratulations, Richard and Isobel, Suzanne and Alex.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:25:30 > 0:25:33play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Well, here it is, a Richard versus Alexander semifinal.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46What about that? Fantastic. Very well done.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Richard and Isobel, exemplary performance, low scoring throughout
0:25:49 > 0:25:52the show, and you're our low scorers in the head-to-head.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Suzanne and Alex, very well done.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Round One last time, turned it all around this time.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Anyway, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08OK. Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Things That Come In Threes. Richard.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16We're going to give you five clues now,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18the answers to which are things that come in threes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24OK, let's reveal our five things, and here are the clues...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Richard and Isobel, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- (The next to last one...) - (I don't know the very bottom.)
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Erm... We think we know four of them,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15but we're going to go for the last one, the film with George
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube, and say that that was Three Kings.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Three Kings, say Richard and Isobel. Three Kings.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25So, Suzanne and Alex, the board is all yours.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Talk us through it if you can.- We think we know four as well. Erm...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- We're not sure on one of them. - Up to you. I don't mind.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Whatever you think.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Er... We'll go for the American Vaudeville act.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Three Stooges.- The Three Stooges, say Suzanne and Alex.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We have Three Kings versus Three Stooges.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Richard and Isobel went for Three Kings. Let's see if that's right,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46let's see how many people said it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49It's right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Wow. Good answer.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58CHEERING
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Three Kings scores you nine.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Suzanne and Alex, meanwhile, have gone for The Three Stooges.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Let's see if that's right,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- It's right.- Ooh!
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Ooh!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It's a good answer. Could be close, this one.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Ooh. 19.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Two very good answers there, but Richard and Isobel,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26you win that one. After one question, you're up 1-nil.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Well played, both teams there. It's a good film, Three Kings.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Have you seen it?- Mm. - Yeah, very good film.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Nobody knew the Harry Potter answer? - No.- OK.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It would've been the best answer on the board.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Would've beaten Three Kings. It's Three Broomsticks.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Would've scored you four points.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Now, the novel, of course, is The Three Musketeers.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Would've scored you 62.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46And the vocal group, even bigger scorer for The Three Degrees.
0:28:46 > 0:28:4767 points.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Thank you very much indeed. So, here's comes your second question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Suzanne and Alex, you get to answer it first,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It concerns...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Business Jargon.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05We're going to show you five phrases now that all appear in Forbes's
0:29:05 > 0:29:07list of most annoying bits of business jargon,
0:29:07 > 0:29:08but we've removed alternate letters.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Can you tell us what they are, please?- OK.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Let's reveal our five bits of annoying business jargon,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and here they come. We have got...
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53There we are. Suzanne and Alex will go first.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:56 > 0:29:59We know three of them, maybe four.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Um...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Yeah, we went with you last time so I think we'll go with you again.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09We think the last one might be
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- drill down.- Drill down.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Drill down, say Suzanne and Alex T.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Now, Richard and Isobel.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I don't think we can talk you through the rest of them.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25The third one down, I'd never heard it, but it looks like
0:30:25 > 0:30:27open the kimono.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Whatever that means.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31LAUGHTER
0:30:31 > 0:30:35A low-hanging fault. Never heard of that but it seems to fit.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Yeah, we think the second one is think outside the box but we're
0:30:38 > 0:30:42going to say for the first one that it's take it to the next level.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44You're going to go with take it to the next level. OK.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47So, we have drill down vs take it to the next level.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Drill down with Suzanne and Alex, let's see if that's right,
0:30:50 > 0:30:51let's see how many people said it.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55It's right.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Good answer, look at that. Drill down.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- APPLAUSE - Drills right down to 6.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Richard and Isobel, meanwhile, have gone for take it to the next level.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:2416!
0:31:24 > 0:31:25APPLAUSE
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Well done, Suzanne and Alex. You're back in the game.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Let's take a look at the ones that you thought of going for.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37The low-hanging one, you're right, is low-hanging
0:31:37 > 0:31:41but it's to achieve the simplest tasks first.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44And it would come from being in an orchard or something.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Simply low-hanging fruit.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Would have scored you 10 points.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51And open the kimono
0:31:51 > 0:31:53is the correct answer. LAUGHTER
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Means to reveal more information. Would have scored you 1 point,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59so would have seen you through to the final.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And think outside the box is the biggest scorer.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Would have scored you 22.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your third and final question.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:11 > 0:32:12and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns -
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Sporting trophies, Richard.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23We need you to drill down and take it to the next level here, everybody.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Avoid the low-hanging fruit as we open the kimono
0:32:26 > 0:32:28and show you five pictures of sporting trophies.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31You need to tell us what sport they are given for, please.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Very, very best of luck.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35OK, so let's reveal our five trophies and here they are.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00There we are. Five sporting trophies.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Richard and Isobel, you will go first this time.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04THEY WHISPER
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Going to go for D) which is the men's singles trophy at Wimbledon.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- Tennis.- Tennis. OK. D), tennis, say Richard and Isobel.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Suzanne and Alex, over to you.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21THEY WHISPER
0:33:21 > 0:33:25I think A) is the Claret Jug for golf.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27E) I'm pretty sure's American football.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I'm not sure on B) or C).
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I'm going to go for E), American football.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36E), American football.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39So, we have tennis vs American football.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Richard and Isobel have gone for tennis,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43let's see if that's right for D) and, if it is,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45let's see how many people said it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49It's right.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Down it goes.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Good answer. 19.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56APPLAUSE
0:33:59 > 0:34:0119 for tennis.
0:34:01 > 0:34:07Meanwhile, Suzanne and Alex have said that E) is American football.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Was that right for E)?
0:34:12 > 0:34:13It is right.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19And it wins you the point, look at that. Well done.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- 6 for American football. - APPLAUSE
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Well done, Suzanne and Alex.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29After three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Alexander wins.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Yeah, I saw that but, you know what, as always, Richard will be back.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- Oh, yeah, he will. - Yeah, very good answer.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40That's the Vince Lombardi Trophy that you're given for winning
0:34:40 > 0:34:42the Super Bowl.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45If you had gone for golf, if you had said A) was the Claret Jug,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47which it is, that would have won you the point, as well
0:34:47 > 0:34:48because it scores just 14.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53B) is the Gold Cup. That's horse racing.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Pointless answer, as well. So, well done if you said that.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02And C) is the Larry O'Brien Trophy which you win if you win the NBA.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05So, it's basketball. And that would have scored you 1 point.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06So, some tough answers up there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Thanks very much.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Richard and Isobel.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Well, rather against the grain of play,
0:35:15 > 0:35:19I mean, you pretty much trounced everyone up to this point.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21But, as Richard says, you will be back.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23I have no doubt that we'll see you come this far,
0:35:23 > 0:35:24if not further, next time.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I'll look forward to that.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Meantime, thanks very much, Richard and Isobel.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:34But for Suzanne and Alex it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36APPLAUSE
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Congratulations, Suzanne and Alex, you've fought off all
0:35:41 > 0:35:44the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56At the end of today's shot the jackpot stands at £2,000,
0:35:56 > 0:35:57there it is.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00APPLAUSE
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well, what a story, what a story,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05you left in Round...at the end of Round One last time.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- This time, first answer from you, Suzanne, was Norwich.- Norwich.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Look at that, then into the head-to-head you were 1-0 down.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Then through you came.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I can already tell you, we have three different studios
0:36:17 > 0:36:22bidding for the film rights for this show...so exciting has it been!
0:36:22 > 0:36:25As always, you get to choose your category.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Obviously from the four we give you
0:36:26 > 0:36:29so, it's not a completely wide choice.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Here they are, let's hope there's something on there you like.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Hold on. Architecture?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Modern female novelists. - It has to be sport.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Sport in 2014, The Blues Brothers, yes, you're right.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- You don't know anything about...- No, I don't. No, I don't, you're right.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- It's got to be sport in 2014. - Sport in 2014.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I like that interact, that mother/son interaction about it just,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58yeah, it's got to be sport, got to be sport.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Suzanne very carefully going through the options.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Look at the options, Alex. It's got to be sport, it's got to be sport. Let's go for sport.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07I think it was probably the right choice. Three options, I think you'll like them.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11We're looking for anyone who played in the 2014 Masters snooker tournament,
0:37:11 > 0:37:16anyone who was in any of the starting 11s for the 2014 world Twenty20 team.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Or anybody who made an on-field appearance for England
0:37:19 > 0:37:22in the Six Nations in 2014.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25So, any Masters snooker players, any of the England World Twenty20 team
0:37:25 > 0:37:30in the starting 11s or any on-field player for England in the Six Nations.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Very best of luck.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK, now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37All I want from you is that just one of those answers to
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- be pointless, then we can give you that jackpot. Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44OK, well, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Your time starts now.- OK, Alexander, who are you thinking of?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- I'm going to go, like, Marco Fu, people would know.- Yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- That's not...- No, it's a bit possible.- It's not, is it?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- England World Twenty20 team. - Who's that?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Erm, I mean, I know, I'm just trying to think, of all the players.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- You must know some obscure players. - I should do, I should do.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06- Come on, tell me a few. - I've got a few.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12- Twenty20, Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, James Treadwell.- Yeah? Who else?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Erm...Ravi Bopara, yeah. - Someone who came in the end?
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- That no-one would think off.- Bopara. Erm.- Six Nations players.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20What about that?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Six Nations players? I'm not... - Who would that be?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Billy Twelvetrees. It's just such a rogue name.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Is he in it?- I want to just put it in. I think he played in the Six Nations, yeah.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Do you, for 2014?- Then... Masters, Masters snooker.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- I mean, it could be any of the top kind of players.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39I've got someone. I might pick one from each.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Yes, whatever you want to go with. - Just go for it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Just think of something really obscure.- I will. I do.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- And that is your minute up. Let's have your three answers, Alex. - Erm...
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Think about it.
0:38:50 > 0:38:56OK, for the 2014 England World Twenty20 team...Michael Lumb.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Michael Lumb?- Yeah. - OK, Michael Lumb from the Twenty20.
0:39:00 > 0:39:042014 Masters snooker, I mean, I don't know specifically
0:39:04 > 0:39:09- who's in it but I'm going to guess Stuart Bingham.- Stuart Bingham? OK.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10And thirdly?
0:39:10 > 0:39:16And thirdly I might go for...a Six Nation player who has just
0:39:16 > 0:39:19for some reason popped into my head because he's quite a rogue surname.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Billy Twelvetrees. - Billy Twelvetrees?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25OK, off those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- I reckon probably Twelvetrees.- OK, Billy Twelvetrees we'll put last.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably Bingham.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34OK, Bingham we'll put first.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then and here they are.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42We've got Stuart Bingham, Michael Lumb and Billy Twelvetrees.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Well, very best of luck. Three good answers up on the board there.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Let's hope one of them wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:47 > 0:39:502,000 quid, what would you do with that, Suzanne?
0:39:50 > 0:39:56Well, the reason we're here is that we can pay off Alexander's debts.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- So, that would go towards that. - The reason you're here? OK.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03So, if you hadn't got through to the final it would basically be
0:40:03 > 0:40:06just all the hubcaps in the car park, would it? OK.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Erm, right, Alex, anything other than your debts that you'd like to do with the money?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Erm, I'd like to put it towards a Vegas trip, I think.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16LAUGHTER
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- You can see why I'm in debt now, can't you?- There you go.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Literally, the last three minutes of telly tells you
0:40:21 > 0:40:23everything you need to know about mums and sons all over the World.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24LAUGHTER
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Well, listen, very, very best of luck, three good answers.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30As I say, your first answer, Stuart Bingham, you thought was
0:40:30 > 0:40:34probably your least likely shot at a pointless answer. Only one of these has to be pointless for you
0:40:34 > 0:40:36to win the jackpot. Let's see, Stuart Bingham.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40In this case we're looking for the Masters snooker. Is it right?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43And if it is, is it pointless? If its both, it'll win you 2,000 quid.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Stuart Bingham, how many people said it?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It's right. It's right.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Now, you're wondering if anyone would remember Stuart Bingham. Let's hope nobody can.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Stuart Bingham now going down through the teens into single figures, yes, down it goes,
0:40:59 > 0:41:02still going down, down it goes, still going down. You've done it!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Very well done. That's fantastic.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Very well done indeed. Brilliant.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13LAUGHTER
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Oh, my!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Well, fantastic, congratulations, Stuart Bingham was
0:41:19 > 0:41:23a pointless answer which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Your debts are paid off.- Not all of them!- Not all of them.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Yeah, that was an absolute gimmie of a jackpot round if you know about sport.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Fortunately, you were lucky to go for Stuart Bingham because you did your best to lose it
0:41:37 > 0:41:39because Michael Lumb would have scored you one.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41And Billy Twelvetrees, I think because of the name and
0:41:41 > 0:41:44cos it's such a terrific player, would have scored two.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46So neither of them were pointless.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Something else we've learned about mums...
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Literally when that 60 seconds started the first two words
0:41:50 > 0:41:54you said were Marco Fu and that was also a pointless answer for snooker.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02And you went for Michael Lumb but virtually every other
0:42:02 > 0:42:05cricketer you mentioned was a pointless answer. Alex Hales was,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Ravi Bopara was, James Treadwell was you mentioned all of them.- Yes.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Um, but let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:42:10 > 0:42:13in the different categories, there's all sorts. Snooker first.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Could have had Marco Fu, Mark Allen, Shaun Murphy...
0:42:18 > 0:42:20You could have had Barry Hawkins Joe Perry,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Mark Davis, Ricky Walden or Robert Milkins as well.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Stuart Bingham a terrific answer, though.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Let's take a look at the cricket.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28You could have had...
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You also could have had Chris Jordan, James Treadwell as I say,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Moeen Ali or Stephen Parry, all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41And the rugby players, loads here as well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47In fact, everybody apart from Owen Farrell scored five,
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Chris Robshaw and Billy Twelvetrees scored two and one point for Dylan Hartley.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Manu Tuilagi, Tom Wood and Danny Care, every single other
0:42:54 > 0:42:57player was a pointless answer so a terrific jackpot round.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Thanks very much, Richard. And thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Suzanne and Alex who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22APPLAUSE
