0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And, couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm David, this is my friend Simon. We're from Bristol.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Sophie and this is my brother Tom, and we're from Croydon.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Harry. This is my family friend Lucy,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're from Radcliffe in Greater Manchester.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Carol and this is my friend Sarah,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we're from Cirencester.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09a zombie feasting on the fetid flesh of fact.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11You would say if these intros were getting a bit too much,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- wouldn't you?- Yeah.- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:19A zombie, you say?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- That's where it's going today. - Feasting on the...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Fetid flesh of fact, you heard.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Fetid flesh of fact.- Yes.- Got to be very careful how you say that.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I tell you what, you've got nice big hair today, Richard.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Yeah, it's... It's built up. - I tell you who you look like...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- .."Quiff" Michelmore. - LAUGHTER
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Lovely show last time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We've got two returners from that - Simon and David,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And Lucy and Harry got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And we had lovely Luke and Ellie, who gave us
0:01:55 > 0:01:58two pointless answers in the jackpot round, walked off with the money.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- So back to 1,000. But it was only 1,000 then, wasn't it?- Hmm.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We've had a whole slew of jackpot winners recently.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's been bleeding out, that jackpot, hasn't it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- It really has, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- We're running out of money.- Yeah. Actually, yes, we are, actually.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I hope you have collected those bottle tops.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Should we have a collection for a Pointless prize fund?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- That would be good, wouldn't it? - Simple idea, like an appeal.- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Pointless In Need.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- It's a good idea. Who'd host? - Yeah, that's a point.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Simon.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Not the worst idea you've ever had. - No, no.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, Luke and Ellie won the jackpot last time,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43APPLAUSE
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:47 > 0:02:49will be eliminated. That's the only thing you have to remember.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh, yes, and you have to make sure you're not in that pair.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Our first category for today is...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Tennis. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:00 > 0:03:01who's going to go second?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Countries with 2014 Davis Cup or Fed Cup tennis teams. Richard.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yes, we're looking for any of the countries
0:03:24 > 0:03:26which are represented in the first round of the World Group
0:03:26 > 0:03:30of either the Davis Cup or the Fed Cup in 2014, please.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32We won't accept GB but any of those other countries.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We are essentially looking for any of the 17 best
0:03:34 > 0:03:36countries at tennis in the world.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- There we are. Now, Simon. Welcome.- Hi.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Remind us what happened last time. It was Round Two, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We did well in Round One, with the history, very well,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49but then 2013 UK singles tripped us up.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Anyway, remind us what you do, Simon.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm a sales and marketing manager for an electronics company.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Indeed. That's right.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'd have forgotten if you hadn't done that special face.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- THEY LAUGH - He designs weapon systems.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Basically, he is our first line of defence, so there we are.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- We should...- Don't forget, he's not allowed to talk about it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Yeah, he's not a lot talk about it. Sorry, yeah.- So don't tell anybody.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Don't tell anyone.- Yeah. I'm going to try and wheedle...
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I might try and wheedle some info out of him, just on the sly.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17He won't even know he's telling me.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- OK. So, Simon, tennis.- Yes. - Think about your tennis.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25What's the most exciting system you're designing the moment?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- SIMON LAUGHS - Tennis. He's not going to know.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29He won't know he's telling me. It's just going to come out.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30- That's good.- Yeah.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- OK...- Ground-to-air?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Sorry, sorry, sorry. On you go, Simon. On you go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Um, this is actually quite a good subject for me. I like tennis a lot.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'm going to go for the country based on my favourite ever tennis
0:04:47 > 0:04:49player and going to go for Switzerland.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Switzerland, says Simon.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Let's see if Switzerland is right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- APPLAUSE - 18.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well played, Simon. Yeah, they were in the Davis Cup.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13They had a very strong team. Federer, who I assume is your
0:05:13 > 0:05:17favourite player, and Wawrinka as well, so that's a fairly strong team.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sophie.- Yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here, from Croydon.- Yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- What do you do, Sophie? - I work in digital marketing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Digital marketing?- Yes. - So you're doing advertising online?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Is that essentially it? - Yeah, on Google.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34So, you know when those annoying ads come up
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- when you search for something? - They're not annoying, I love them!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- What are you talking about? - That's not the feedback we get.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42The best bit! That's why I go on any of those search engines,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45because, of course, many others do exist.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Now, Sophie.- Yes. - What are you going to go for?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49- Do you follow tennis at all?- No.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- OK. So it's going to be a sort of geography question for you?- Yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Bit of a...bit of a sort of... - Yes. Just going to take a guess.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Um...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I don't want to go with anything too obvious,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03so it might be... I'm not sure.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05China.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08OK, China. Not too obvious. China, though.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Let's see if that's right. Well, you never know.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Let's see if China is a good answer. It might well be.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14How many people said China?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh, I'm sorry, Sophie. I'm afraid an incorrect answer there, China.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Sorry, Sophie. Not a bad answer.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25They've got some terrific tennis players, China,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27but didn't qualify for the first round
0:06:27 > 0:06:29of either tournament, I'm afraid.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Harry, welcome back.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Head-to-head last time. Did very, very well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What saw you off in the head-to-head, though?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41We got stuck on questions about David Brent and The Office.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh, that's right. That's right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes. So remind us what you do, Harry.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm contentedly retired now.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50But you are restoring Manchester's canals brick by brick.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I'm an active member of our local canal restoration society.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57So how much... What percentage of the canal has now been restored?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59How much have you got to do?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Navigable-wise there's only probably the first 5% or so,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- so we've a long way to go. - A long way to go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Some good challenges. - And you're getting grants?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- You're getting lottery funds and things like that?- Not as such,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12we're still working on that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16We had a grant last year that enabled us to replace a bridge,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20but it was styled using fully-scaled Meccano,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- and it's the only one in the world. - That's brilliant!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25When you said "but", I thought there'd be a downside.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- But, no, that sounds fantastic. - That was an excellent project, yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Very good. So you're looking for people to fund further projects?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Yes, the more, the merrier. - The more, the merrier.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35So, Harry, what are you going to go for?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Um, I think I'll go for Romania.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Romania, says Harry. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43let's see how many of our 100 people said Romania.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Got a nod from Simon.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51But not from our 100, I'm afraid.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Romania, an incorrect answer.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But you're in good company.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yeah, I have to say, a bit cocky, that, from Simon, I thought.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Just cos you got one right, you say, "Yep, yeah, Romania."
0:08:01 > 0:08:02LAUGHTER "Done this.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05"Not even bother looking at the tower. That'll be nine."
0:08:05 > 0:08:09No, unlucky again. Not in either of those, I'm afraid.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, Carol, welcome.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Here from Cirencester. What do you do, Carol?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I'm a freelance book editor.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- That's fun. So you do all that from home?- Yes, all from home.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21And do you work for particular publishers or...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23All sorts, loads of different publishers.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25And what kinds of book? Or any kind of book?
0:08:25 > 0:08:32I do anything from chick lit right through to manuals for apprentices.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Wow. So how many books do you edit in a year, would you say?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Ooh, what a good question.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Um... - RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- "No-one has ever said that to me." - "Ever said that before."
0:08:42 > 0:08:43- That is amazing.- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45You knew it had to come eventually.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Yeah, that's nice.- 790 episodes, you had to hit it sooner or later.- Yes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50LAUGHTER
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Usually when people say, "What a good question,"
0:08:53 > 0:08:54that usually means, "Oh..."
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- But that sounded...that sounded believable to me.- OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I reckon about 12, something like that.- Right.- Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK. So one for every month?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But presumably, they all run concurrently.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08They do. Which is why I couldn't work it out straightaway.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11That's quite nice. Means you get a break from one by doing the other.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Yes.- Now, Carol, teams that were in the 2014 Davis or Fed Cups.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Oh, yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- What are you going to go for?- Right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I was going to go for Romania, so luckily...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Phew, you dodged one there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Yeah. So I think I'm going to go fairly steady with Russia.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Russia, says Carol.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Let's see if that's right and how many people said Russia.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Absolutely right, of course. Our only correct answer scored 18.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Will you be higher or lower than that? You're lower.
0:09:42 > 0:09:4411, very well done, Carol.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Good answer. - APPLAUSE
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, the Russians were in the Fed Cup in 2014.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Won it many, many times as well.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55The Fed Cup is essentially the women's tennis
0:09:55 > 0:09:57version of the Davis Cup.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Let's look at those scores.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Very much the best scorer of that pass was yours, Carol,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06putting you and Sarah very much in the lead there with 11.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Then up to 18, where we find Simon and David.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Then up to 100, Harry and Lucy, Sophie and Tom.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13So, Lucy and Tom,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15everything is hinging on your tennis knowledge.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Hmm.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Oh, Lucy, no.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21On your geography knowledge, then.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Maybe.- Your geography knowledge, there we are.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Well, Sarah, welcome to Pointless.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Remember, we're looking for any team, apart from the UK,
0:10:34 > 0:10:39that played in the first round of either the 2014 Davis or Fed Cups.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Sarah, what do you do?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I am a student at the University of Leicester
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and I also work as a model.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Right you are. So what are you reading a Leicester?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm reading English literature.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Enjoying it?- It's OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57It's done in chronological order, so I prefer modern stuff.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- So as my course gets on, I enjoy it more.- OK. So where did you start?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02- Beowulf.- Beowulf.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06And stuff that you have to get a dictionary out to translate,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and not a normal dictionary, like, an Old English...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Hmm.- Not fun.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13So it just gets easier and easier. Yeah, that's good.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And the modelling, what sort of modelling do you do?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I do things like e-commerce, so online,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22things that you might shop, or magazines, that kind of stuff.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Very good. Nice to have that as a sideline through university as well.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- Yeah, keeps me busy.- Very good.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, there you are. You're on 11. The high-scorers
0:11:30 > 0:11:31are on 100.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You need to score 88 or less.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Yes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37OK. Um...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I have an idea in my head of what I think might be good,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45but then I have some that I'm sure will be obvious, safe answers.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51So I'm going to - if it's OK - take a punt and I'm going to say Serbia.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Serbia, says Sarah. Well, here comes your red line.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Get below this with Serbia and you are through to the next round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Serbia.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's right and you're through. Very well done indeed, Sarah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11That's a fantastic answer.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Our lowest score so far. Scores you 7, takes your total
0:12:14 > 0:12:15up to 18.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Great answer, Sarah. Very well played.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Made it through to the Davis Cup first round, even though Djokovic,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24obviously their most famous player, he elected not to play.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Wow. Why?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Because he was out at eight o'clock and his mum called him in
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and he said that she said that he was allowed out till 8.30.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34She said she'd actually said 7.30,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37so he'd been allowed out half an hour longer than he was supposed to.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39He thought he'd been allowed out half an hour less.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- He didn't think, he knew damn well. - Yes, exactly.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So his mum said, "Well, you can play anyway."
0:12:43 > 0:12:47He said, "Well, now I don't want to," and so Serbia got knocked out.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- OK, fair enough. - Same old...age-old story.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yep, yep, yep. Now, Lucy.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Remind us what you do, Lucy.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I work in pharmaceutical market research.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59And what are your hobbies, Lucy?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I like languages and travelling.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I like reading, music, things like that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Do you play instruments?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Yeah, I play the clarinet and also a bit of piano as well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11And you've kept up with the clarinet?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I had lessons until I went to university.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I got to my Grade 8, so I did all of the lessons
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and then I joined a band when I was in uni.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And since coming back, I've not had chance to...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- It sits there on the shelf in its box?- Yes.- Gathering dust.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- You must play it, though. - I know, I should.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Otherwise you'll forget all your fingering.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The clarinet is the sort of thing you can't really play on its own,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- can you?- No.- You need other people to play with.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Anyway, there you are. You're on 100.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36We need a low score from you, Lucy.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Well...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I think I'm just going to take a wild guess
0:13:40 > 0:13:44because I feel that Tom might have a good answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'm just going to say the Ukraine.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48The Ukraine, says Lucy. The Ukraine.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50No red line for you as you're joint high-scorers.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53But let's see if it's right. Let's see how far down the column you get.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56No indication from Simon at this stage.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58CONTESTANTS CHUCKLE
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Oh, I'm sorry, Lucy,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04not the Ukraine.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's sounded like a really good answer,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08but I'm afraid it's scored you 100 points.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Takes your total up to 200.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Yeah, not a bad guess at all, the Ukraine,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14but, yeah, it didn't qualify for the Davis Cup or the Fed Cup.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15OK, now, Tom.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Tom, welcome. What do you do, Tom?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm currently a student at the University of Southampton.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Studying?- Economics and philosophy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- What year are you in? - My second year.- OK.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28And what else are you getting up to when you're down in Southampton?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I play football for my society.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I thought you were going to say, "For my sins."
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- THEY LAUGH - For your society, good.- Yes.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Is this for your society rather than for the university?- Yes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So the university has their own separate team.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46There's about four or five at a very high standard.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- So I play within societies, halls. - I see.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Just clubs have their own team, so I play in that.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I see. Now, there you are.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56You now have a goal, which is to score 99 or less.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Surely. Surely.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04So, because of that... I didn't have a very good answer,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08so I think I'm going to plump safe and say Spain.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Spain, says Tom.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's see if Spain is right. Here's you red line.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Lovely and high. Essentially, Spain just has to be right
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and you are through to the next round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's right and you're through. Well done, Tom.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2628.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28128 is your total.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Well done, Tom. Safe and sound.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Yeah, they've won both many times and they were in both in 2014.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, David.- Hello.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I have such good news. There is a place for you in Round Two.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Would you like it?- Yes, please.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45I will need a deposit.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51No, it's fine, it's fine. We can settle up later.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52David, remind us about yourself.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I'm a design engineer for the same company that Simon works for.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Right you are.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- And based down in Bristol? - Based in Bristol, yes.- Now, I...
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Call me Henry Higgins,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- but I'm detecting a sort of north-eastern accent.- There is, yes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Where are you from originally?- I'm originally from Wallsend.- Are you?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- GEORDIE ACCENT:- Wallsend? - Newcastle, aye.- Lovely.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- And how long have you lived in Bristol?- 30 years now.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Still, you haven't lost the accent. - I know, man.- Good stuff.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- And do you head up northeast often? - Yes. Yeah, yeah.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Family up there? - Family up there, yeah.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Very good. And things like football teams, do you follow football?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24The Toon, man.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Yes, still, good. You haven't... - No.- Very good.- Support Newcastle.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31David. So, yes, there you are, you can saunter through this round
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and, at your leisure, come up with an answer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36No pressure on you at all.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well, again, I don't know much about tennis either.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Geography-wise, yeah, I can pluck a country out of the air.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I'm going to say Argentina. - Argentina, says David.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Let's see if Argentina is right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47No red line for you as you are already through.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51But for fun, let's see how far down the column we go with Argentina.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54It's right.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well, 7 is our lowest score of the round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Let's see where Argentina takes you. 11!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Very well done indeed.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- APPLAUSE - 29 is your total.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Well played, David. Great answer.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Yeah, they played in the Davis Cup in 2014.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Now, of those 17 countries, there is actually
0:17:12 > 0:17:14a pointless answer out there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16They played in the Davis Cup in 2014.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Very well done if you said Kazakhstan.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Terrific answer if you said that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23The next best answers would have been the Slovak Republic for 2
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and the Czech Republic for 4.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27You also could have had Japan and the Netherlands,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28both would have scored you 6 points.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Good answers. Belgium - 7, Canada - 9.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34You'd have had Italy for 14. Italy knocked the UK out.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36You'd have scored 21 for Germany.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And then the top three, let's take a look at those -
0:17:38 > 0:17:41the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:17:41 > 0:17:4329 for Australia.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4540 for France.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And the USA with 58.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52At the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:17:52 > 0:17:54with their high score of 200, I'm so sorry,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57our head-to-headers from last time, Lucy and Harry.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So unfair. Nothing from with your answers
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- apart from them being incorrect. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But in spirit they were right, is what I mean.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I'm so sorry to say goodbye.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06But, Lucy and Harry, good luck with the canals.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Thank you. - Great to have you on the show.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21So, three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25But very, very well done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You all negotiated that pretty well.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And you've seen off our best-performing returning pair,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32our head-to-headers from the last show. Very good work.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39As simple as that. People.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:42 > 0:18:43who is going to go second?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Richards and Alexanders.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It was originally going to be Alexanders and Richards
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and I persuaded them to change it around.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05We're going to show you two boards now,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08six clues on each to famous people called Richard or Alexander.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It could be their first name or their surname as well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13There's 12 Richards and Alexanders to guess at home. Good luck.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We're looking for the famous Richards or Alexanders
0:19:17 > 0:19:20described by these clues. Here's our first board of six.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21And we have...
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13There we are. Six clues to famous Richards or Alexanders.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Simon, you're going to try and find the lowest-scoring one
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- on that board.- OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I think I know three,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23but I'm going to go for the last one,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26the Scottish bacteriologist and Nobel Prize winner.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm going for Alexander Fleming.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Alexander Fleming, says Simon.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many said Alexander Fleming.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37It's right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:4234.
0:20:44 > 0:20:4734 for Alexander Fleming.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Yes. He discovered it by accident, of course, and, actually,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52they couldn't make enough of it and his work was almost forgotten.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It was only nine years later that an Oxford lab thought,
0:20:55 > 0:20:56"Oh, there might be something in this,"
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and started working on mass production,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00which is why it's so prevalent today.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Wow.- Yeah.- So Fleming basically just thought it had been forgotten about?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Yeah, exactly.- He's probably got a job doing something else.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yeah, he was working in Poundland in Cumbernauld.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Call comes through. Oh, yes, yes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Call comes on his mobile. Nearly rings off.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- "Ohhh."- Shouldn't really have it on at work.- There we are.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Well, you know, he's just doing his pricing.- Yeah, yeah.- "Yeah."
0:21:21 > 0:21:25"You remember penicillin, Alexander?"
0:21:25 > 0:21:27"Yeah, yeah, yeah." That was a good day to be buying other stuff
0:21:27 > 0:21:30in that aisle because it was all priced at 19 pence.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Yeah, exactly. And they said, "These guys in Oxford,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- "you know, they like your penicillin."- "Yeah?"
0:21:36 > 0:21:38"I'm telling you, basically,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41"you can quit the day job. You just made 40 million bucks."
0:21:41 > 0:21:43"Kuzchung!"
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- The floor has now got 19p on it. - LAUGHTER
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And he throws the phone down. It was an old model.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Went and told his boss what he thought of him.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Actually went in to tell his boss what he thought of him.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Said, "I'm going to shove this job," then thought,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57"My boss has actually been nice to me over the years."
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Gave him some money.- And he just said, "Do you know what?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01"I've loved working here, you're a great guy,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03"but I invented penicillin."
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- "See ya." - "So I have to go to Oxford..."
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Yeah.- "..and open a penicillin shop."
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- And the rest was quite literally history.- Yes.- Amazing.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Thank you very much indeed. So, Tom.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Tom.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Well, I think that was the only one I was really certain on,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Alexander Fleming.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26But I think the top one, who wrote The Count Of Monte Cristo,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28was Alexandre Dumas.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Alexandre Dumas, says Tom.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Let's see how money people said Alexandre Dumas.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4134 is our only score so far and you've passed that...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- 33, just. - APPLAUSE
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Ooh, some very tight grouping there
0:22:45 > 0:22:47in the 30s.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yeah, Alexandre Dumas. Very well played.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Sarah.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Um...- You're the last person to have this board, so talk us through it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I would love to be able to talk you through,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00but I have an answer left
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and that's the only one I do know.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06So I'm going to have to go for the writer of the screenplays
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Four Weddings And A Funeral and Notting Hill is Richard Curtis.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Richard Curtis, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Richard Curtis.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well, 34 and 33 are our only scores so far.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Oh, you've passed them both! Look at that, 18.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27What about that?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- 18.- Well played, Sarah. Another good answer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yes, at the time of that film, when he was cast in that film,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Hugh Grant's career was not where it is now. He was essentially...
0:23:37 > 0:23:40He was teaching Juliette Binoche how to speak English
0:23:40 > 0:23:42for cash in hand. That's what he was doing, that was his job.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44He wasn't getting acting work,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- and that film turned everything around.- Turned everything around.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The actor who played George Costanza is the wonderful Jason Alexander.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Would have scored you 5.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- The German composer?- Richard Wagner.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Richard Wagner.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Would have scored you 31.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01The best answer on the board, in fact a pointless answer, Richard Wilbur.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03That Pulitzer Prize, Richard Wilbur. Well done if you said that.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07so let's see those scores.
0:24:07 > 0:24:1018, the best score of that pass, Sarah. Very well done indeed.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Sarah and Carol looking strong at this stage.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Then up to 33, Tom and Sophie there.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Then just a click above them, on 34, we find Simon and David.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So, David, I don't know how it's happened,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22but you are the high-scorers. We need a low score from you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Let's hope there's something that you like.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We'll come back down the line now.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33OK, let's put six more clues up on the board.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34And here they are...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'll read those all one final time.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Carol.- Right.- Carol.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I think I know three.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Um, but I think I'm going to go for British writer
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and creator of No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and I think that's Alexander McCall Smith.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Alexander McCall Smith, says Carol. Here comes your red line.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Get below this and you're definitely in the head-to-head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Let's see how many of our 100 said Alexander McCall Smith.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51It's right.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You're through to the next round.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Very well done. 8 for that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:0026 your total,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03still the lowest score.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Well played, Carol. They're very good on podium four today.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Aren't they?- Yes. He was formerly a professor of medical law and he sold
0:26:09 > 0:26:13over 20 million copies of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Now, Sophie.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yes. Sophie, there you are on 33.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're not the high-scorers.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You have to score a pointless answer, though,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Do you think you can do it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28No.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34I only knew the top one, so, erm, I'm going to have to guess.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Character in Buffy - Alexander...
0:26:41 > 0:26:42..Jones.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Alex Jones.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47OK. Alexander Jones, says Sophie.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49There is a red line there, just have to pretend you can see it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51It's on 0.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Let's see if Alexander Jones is right.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58No, I'm afraid, Sophie.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01A tough board there. And I'm afraid you've scored 100 points.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02133 your total.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You might not be out of the game, you never know.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Yeah, sorry, Sophie, valiant guess.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Now, David, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Well, the US stand-up comedian is Richard Pryor.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20The actress...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26..who played Pauline Fowler is Wendy Richards.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28The lead singer of The Verve is Richard someone.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I can't remember his surname.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32And the other two, I haven't got a clue.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Which of those are you going to go for?- Richard...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Pryor.- Richard Pryor, says David.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39There is your red line.
0:27:39 > 0:27:4198 or less sees you through.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Get below that red line and you are in the head-to-head.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Let's see if Richard Pryor can get you there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50It's absolutely right, very well done.
0:27:54 > 0:27:5619.
0:27:57 > 0:27:5853 your total.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Yeah, well played. Brilliant, Richard Pryor.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Worth seeing. Worth seeing Stir Crazy and Silver Streak, isn't it?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Haven't seen it for years.- Fabulous. - I should do that again.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Lucky you went for him cos I wouldn't have given you
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Wendy Richards, I'm afraid. It's not her name.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Like some people call him Cliff Richards and it's not -
0:28:14 > 0:28:16it's Wendy Richard is her name.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Would have scored you 14.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The clue was very much in the question there.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Would score 14. The lead singer of The Verve, it was a Richard.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23It's Richard...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- It's Richard...- Ashcroft.- Ashcroft.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Would have scored 6. Let's look at the bottom one next.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- The former editor of Private Eye? - Richard Ingrams.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Richard Ingrams, yes. Would have scored you 22.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39And this last one is not just an Alexander but a Xander
0:28:39 > 0:28:41and a pointless answer.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It is Xander Harris.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Very well done if you said that.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:28:48 > 0:28:52with our high score of 133, Sophie and Tom, I'm sorry to say it is you.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54But great performance in the first round.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57We'll see you again next time. We'll expect greater things from you.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59But, meantime, thanks very much indeed, Sophie and Tom.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02APPLAUSE
0:29:02 > 0:29:04But for Carol and Sarah, Simon and David,
0:29:04 > 0:29:05it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Congratulations, Carol and Sarah, Simon and David.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:29:14 > 0:29:17play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19There we are. Well done, both pairs.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Simon and David, this is a great improvement on last time.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26And, Carol and Sarah, superb. Low scorers each time.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29But there have been low scores from each of you, actually, individually.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I think now you can play together as teams, I think this is
0:29:31 > 0:29:32going to be incredibly close.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Cats On Screen. Richard. - Yes, pictures of cats.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52We're going to show you five cats that feature in films now.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Just need to tell us the name of the film, please. Very best of luck.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five cats.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59And here they are.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25There we are. Five cats on screen.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now, Carol and Sarah, you've been our low scorers so far,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30so you will go first.
0:30:31 > 0:30:37Right. I think we know a few of them and we're just kind of discussing
0:30:37 > 0:30:41which one we think would be the lowest scorer, but I think...
0:30:41 > 0:30:47- (A.)- ..A is Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50OK, A - Breakfast At Tiffany's, say Carol and Sarah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Now, Simon and David, that board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57B, we think, is You Only Live Twice.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58C is Alien.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02D is something like Welcome Back Llewellyn Davis.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Is it something like that? - Yeah, something like that,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- I'm not too sure.- E, I think, is probably The Aristocats.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09But we'll go for B,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You Only Live Twice.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12B, You Only Live Twice.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15So, we have Breakfast At Tiffany's and You Only Live Twice.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Carol and Sarah, Breakfast At Tiffany's
0:31:17 > 0:31:18is what you said for A.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:31:20 > 0:31:21let's see how many people said it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25It's right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:3417 for Breakfast At Tiffany's. Very well done.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Good score.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40Now, Simon and David, very familiar image, that from B there.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43But which film is it from? You've said You Only Live Twice.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54It is right. Is it going to beat 17?
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Yes, it is. Look at that!
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Wow, that's a great score, 3.
0:32:00 > 0:32:013 for You Only Live Twice.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Which means, Simon and David, after one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Terrific play, Simon and David. I think everyone would know
0:32:07 > 0:32:10it's a Bond film, but to get the Bond film is very, very impressive.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12And Breakfast At Tiffany's,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14that cat is called Cat, which I think started...
0:32:14 > 0:32:17that started the fashion of people calling their cat Cat.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21C is Alien, big scorer, though. Would have scored you 44.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26D, not a million miles away. It's a Coen brothers film.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28It's Inside Llewyn Davis.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Great film. - Would have scored you 6.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36And E is The Aristocats. Would have scored 30.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Carol and Sarah, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Shakespeare's Missing Persons. Richard.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52We're going to show you five Shakespeare plays now
0:32:52 > 0:32:54but with a missing word, each of which is a name.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Can you tell us what that name is, please?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Thanks very much indeed. So let's reveal our five Shakespeare plays.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01And here they are, with missing names.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'll read those all again.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Now, Simon and David, you will go first this time.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27THEY WHISPER
0:33:36 > 0:33:39We're going to go... We think it is Tee-mon of Athens.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Tee-mon of Athens, OK, or Timon. Secret of good comedy.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Carol and Sarah.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Well, we think the first one is Titus Andronicus.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Antony and Cleopatra.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54And King Henry V.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So... But we're going for Troilus and Cressida.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Troilus and Cressida, say Carol and Sarah.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01So we have Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressida.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Simon and David said Timon of Athens. Let's see if that is right.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10It's right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1617 for Timon of Athens.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Not bad at all.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23How is that going to fare against Troilus and Cressida? I wonder.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25That's what Carol and Sarah are saying.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Let's see how many people said Troilus and Cressida.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Oh, 36 for Troilus and Cressida.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Very well done indeed, Simon and David.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I suspect that was the best answer on the board.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45And after only two questions, you are through to the final, 2-nil.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Yeah, Simon and David, very well done.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Two questions and the best answer on the board both times.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Not a lot they could've done there.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53A terrific head-to-head from both teams.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Cos Titus Andronicus would have scored you...
0:34:56 > 0:34:5939 points. Antony and Cleopatra...
0:35:00 > 0:35:02..would've scored you 85.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And Henry down at the bottom there
0:35:04 > 0:35:06would've scored you 60.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I'm afraid, it's Carol and Sarah. Well, you soared into this round
0:35:14 > 0:35:17on the back of low scores after low scores.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20And then suddenly, Simon and David leapt to the fore there.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Good news for us - we get to see you again next time.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24We look forward to that.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Meantime, thanks for playing. Carol and Sarah.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:33But for Simon and David, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Congratulations, Simon and David. You have seen off
0:35:38 > 0:35:41all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Wow, what a turnaround!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Last time, we had to say goodbye to you in Round Two, but this time...
0:35:59 > 0:36:02We're going to call you the stalking horses of today's show.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04But then, suddenly, when it mattered,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06in the head-to-head round, 2-nil.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Very impressive indeed.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Anything you'd particularly like to see come up
0:36:10 > 0:36:11in this last round?
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Sport, maybe?- Sport, film. Music perhaps.- Sport generally...
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Chemistry.- Chemistry!- Physics.- OK.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Well, let's just say science, shall we?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Let's bring biology on board too, shall we? Well, as always,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27you get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Let's hope there's something you like. Today's selection is...
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Blimey!
0:36:42 > 0:36:44What do you fancy from that lot?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48The only thing I can think of is Spanish Sport.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Yeah, go on.- We know some Spaniards, we know a bit of sport, so...
0:36:51 > 0:36:54We are going to go for Spanish Sport.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Spanish Sport it is, Richard. - OK, best of luck, gents.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Three very different questions for you here. We are looking for
0:36:59 > 0:37:01any member of the...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Played at Valderrama, that Seve Ballesteros was captain of.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07So, any member of that team.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10We are looking for any manager who has won
0:37:10 > 0:37:12La Liga from the 1983-'84 season
0:37:12 > 0:37:14all the way through to 2013, please.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16We'll take whoever was in charge at the end of the season
0:37:16 > 0:37:18as the winning manager.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Or we are looking for any winners
0:37:19 > 0:37:23of the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix from 1954 up to 2013, please.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28HE REREADS BOARD
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Very best of luck.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, as always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35All you need to win that jackpot is for one of those answers to
0:37:35 > 0:37:37be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Ready.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Your time starts now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- OK, well, I'd go for Formula 1.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I reckon we could probably have a guess on some like...
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Jacques Villeneuve, Rubens Barrichello.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Gilles Villeneuve. - Gilles Villeneuve, yeah.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- That was his dad, wasn't it?- Oh, was it? Yeah, Jacques Villeneuve.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Rubens Barrichello. Well, if you've got some football managers...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01I know... Bobby Robson, I think, won it with Barcelona.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Terry Venables with Barcelona.- Yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09And I can't remember the World Cup-winning Spaniard
0:38:09 > 0:38:10who was a manager as well.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- Oh, Rafa Benitez, I think, won it with Valencia.- Did he?- Yeah.- Rafa.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18We could go... Do you think Rafa Benitez,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Jacques Villeneuve and... - Barrichello.- ..Rubens Barrichello?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Just go for it.- Or do you want to do one of the Finnish guys?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Hackman or Raikkonen or something like that.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- So, Rubens Barrichello.- Barrichello. - Jacques Villeneuve.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Jacques Villeneuve. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- And...Rafa Benitez.- Rafa Benitez, OK.- Yeah?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, well, you seem pretty confident. And your minute is up now.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- OK, Rafa Benitez for the winning managers.- Rafa Benitez.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52And two from the Formula 1, which is Jacques Villeneuve...
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Jacques Villeneuve.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- And Rubens Barrichello. - And Rubens Barrichello.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Rubens.- Barrichello. - Rubens Barrichello we'll put last.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I think Benitez because quite a lot of people know him.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Rafael Benitez at the top.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12And here they are.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17We have got Rafa Benitez, Jacques Villeneuve and Rubens Barrichello.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Well, very best of luck. Three very good answers up on the board.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Let's hope one of those wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24It's not our biggest jackpot ever, but still,
0:39:24 > 0:39:28a nice thing to take away home with you, if you are lucky enough to win.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Simon, what would you do with your winnings?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Um, well, my wife and I went on honeymoon to Canada.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36And this time we'd like to take our daughter with us
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- because we thoroughly loved the country.- Lovely.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41And anything left over, I'd like to get some liquorice allsorts.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- LAUGHTER - Fair enough.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45David, how about you?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Well, I'm thinking of getting a new bike,
0:39:47 > 0:39:51one of those newfangled, power-assisted bikes.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Cos Bristol is a bit hilly, so... - That's a good idea, yeah.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Some of those steep... That'd be great, wouldn't it?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Well, best of luck. Let's hope one of these answers wins it for you.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Your first answer, the one probably least likely to be pointless,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07was Rafa Benitez. We were looking for Spanish League-winning managers.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Let's see how many people said it for £1,000.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Is it pointless?
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Well, it's right.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15That's the key thing.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Now, if Rafa Benitez can take us all the way down to zero,
0:40:18 > 0:40:19you will leave, as I say,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21with 1,000 quid in your back pockets.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Down Rafa goes. Through the single figures.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Still go... 5.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29APPLAUSE
0:40:30 > 0:40:31That's a great score.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Sadly, not a pointless answer, though.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35So we move on to your next answer.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Your next answer was Jacques Villeneuve.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42We were looking for any winner of a Spanish Formula 1
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Grand Prix since 1954.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Are you confident about this one? - No.- Bit of a shot in the dark?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Bit of a punt.- OK, well, we'll discover if it's right,
0:40:52 > 0:40:53then let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56If it's both of those things, you will leave with £1,000.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58How many people said Jacques Villeneuve?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Well, it was a good guess cos it's right.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Your first answer, Rafael Benitez, took us all the way down to 5.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Jacques Villeneuve now taking us down
0:41:08 > 0:41:10through the teens into single figures.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Still going down. Passes 5. Down it goes...
0:41:12 > 0:41:14You've done it! Very well done indeed!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Very well done. Fantastic. What an end for the show.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21That's superb.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Those liquorice allsorts are yours, Simon!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31And you'll never have to peddle up another Bristol hill,
0:41:31 > 0:41:32what about that? Fantastic.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Jacques Villeneuve was a correct answer and a pointless answer,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Superb play.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Good work, gents.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Yeah, very, very well played.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Won it in 1997, the same year he won his championship.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Rubens Barrichello never won the Spanish Grand Prix,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51so he'd have been an incorrect answer. So very well done.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Loads of pointless answers if you know your stuff here.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05You could've had Ignacio Garrido,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Jesper Parnevik or Per-Ulrik Johansson.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Let's take a look at the Spanish League-winning managers.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Three Dutchmen who managed Barcelona here.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18And Raddy Antic, who won with Athletico Madrid.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21You also could've had Bernd Schuster, Javier Clemente.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25You could've had Jorge Valdano, Leo Beenhakker... Or Tito Vilanova
0:42:25 > 0:42:26also a pointless answer there.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Let's take a look at the Grand Prix.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Kimi Raikkonen, who you mentioned in your 60 seconds,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36would have been another very good answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39A few others. Felipe Massa was a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Jochen Mass. Mika Hakkinen also a pointless answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Mike Hawthorn and Pastor Maldonado.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you got those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Congratulations, gents, you played brilliantly throughout.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Thank you very much indeed.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Thanks, once again, to our winning players, Simon and David,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
