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