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, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where the aim of the game is to avoid obvious answers
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and find the obscure ones. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Sarah.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42This is my friend Carol. And we're from Cirencester.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Danny This is my friend Fareed.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47We're from the University of Southampton.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Tom. This is my sister Sophie.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And we are from Croydon.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Jo.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56This is my husband David and we're from Poole.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09The most lowbrow thing this man has ever done
0:01:09 > 0:01:11is belch the Greek alphabet once.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon.- And to you. - Lovely show last time.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We've given away the jackpot four times in a row now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- How about that!- Four times in a row.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27On podium one, we've got Carol and Sarah,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28who were very, very strong last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31They came up against Simon and David, who were in that jackpot round.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Simon and David got the lowest scoring answers.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Literally nothing you could have done.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38They are a terrific team so warning to everybody else.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Sophie and Tom, you already know. They got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43We should take some offence, they got knocked out in the round
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Famous Alexanders and Richards. - I was trying to forget about that.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49You would think that maybe it's something you might have
0:01:49 > 0:01:52a bit more in-depth knowledge of. But fine.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53We won't be repeating that this time.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Carol and Sarah are going to be very difficult to beat.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But we see favourites beaten all the time on this show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00We certainly do. Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Simon and David won the jackpot last time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08If everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE
0:02:13 > 0:02:16All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:16 > 0:02:18at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Do everything you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Our first category today is Literature.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28It's Literature. Can you decide in your pairs who is going to first,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29who's going to go second.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Authors And Their Best-known Works. Richard?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We are going to show you the names of seven authors
0:02:44 > 0:02:47and give you the initials of one of their best known works.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You have to tell us what that work is, please.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- 14 in all to have a go at, at home. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We are looking for the titles of these authors' novels.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57They will be shown in initials.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll read those one last time.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Carol, welcome back. Carol, remind us what you do.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- I'm a freelance book editor. - A book editor in Cirencester?- Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Which is nice because you can work from home.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I do, yes. And it's great.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Are you very good at that? Are you good at making sure you work?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm a little bit inclined to go out for coffee if anyone asks me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- But I'm not too bad.- That's OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Nice to have that to look forward to.- Yeah.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Do you favour working in the mornings or the afternoons
0:04:00 > 0:04:01if you had a choice?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Um, oh, I'm not great in the mornings so probably...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06yeah, early afternoon.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Do you speed read? Do you skim through?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Yeah, sometimes I have to, yeah. - Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Do you ever skip a page?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14No! Absolutely not!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18That would be against my professional standards.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Even if it was maybe by accident, Carol?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Sometimes you might have just turned two or three at the same time.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Occasionally I may have actually cut the page out.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Put a red line right through it and said, "You're not having that."
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- "I can't be bothered to read it." - Yup.- Yup.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32It can't be good.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37So, Carol, this is just a dream round for you, isn't it?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39My favourite book is there.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So... It's Stella Gibbons. Cold Comfort Farm.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I was guessing that's the one you were going to say.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how
0:04:47 > 0:04:49many of our 100 people said Cold Comfort Farm.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Look at that, down it goes! 11!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Nothing unpleasant lurking in the woodshed for you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Cold Comfort Farm.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Carol carrying on with the good work from last time there.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It was her first novel as well.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Thanks very much indeed. Now, Danny, welcome.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Hello.- Great to have you here from the University of Southampton.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Yep. - What are you studying there, Danny?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I do maths and economics.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22What do you like getting up to down in Southampton
0:05:22 > 0:05:23when you're not studying?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I'm part of the Comedy Society.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- I'm going to be vice president next year.- Are you? Good for you!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Hopefully we'll take something up to Edinburgh.- Excellent.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Well, actually, it's a sketch and improv show.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34It's going to be called Skimprov.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I like what you've done there immediately. Skimprov.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Printing obviously expensive in Southampton.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43The troop is called Masters of None. Playing on that...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- Because we are rubbish at everything.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm joking, we are really good.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53There we are, brilliant. Danny, time to shine. It's books.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It's books and authors.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58There is one that I'm kind of tempted to go for
0:05:58 > 0:05:59but it's a massive risk.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think I'll just go for the obvious one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- William Golding, Lord Of The Flies. - Lord Of The Flies, says Danny.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11It's right.
0:06:14 > 0:06:1753. High score there, Danny, but a lot lower than 100.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Lord Of The Flies.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22It was rejected by more than 20 publishers before it was
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- published, Lord Of The Flies.- Wow!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Goes to show though, never give up.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well, some people should give up, but some people shouldn't.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, maybe. Skimprov, don't give up.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Never!- No.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- We wouldn't dream of it. - Good. Glad to hear.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, Tom, welcome back.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, unfortunately. But hoping to get a bit further this time.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Yes, it was Alexanders and Richards. - Yes, yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46God, the shame.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Tom, remind us what you do.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I'm also a student at the University of Southampton.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm in my second year.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Do you know Danny and Fareed?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57No, we met ten minutes ago.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58I tell you what,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01there is a brilliant club night you should go to. Skimprov.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03LAUGHTER
0:07:03 > 0:07:04They do...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You know, they're called Masters of None,
0:07:06 > 0:07:07which is slightly tongue-in-cheek.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10There are some things they can't do but they have breadth.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12And I tell you what they do have is persistence.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yeah, I'll have to check them out.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah, you should. You should. Very good.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Tom, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I only knew two of them straight away.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23And one of them has been taken out.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm going to have to go for Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Wuthering Heights, says Tom.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, let's see how far down the column you get with that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's right. 53 is our highest scorer.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Till now. 58 is the new high score. For Wuthering Heights.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yeah, another book that actually sold very,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47very badly when it was first out, Wuthering Heights.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48It was absolutely written off.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It just gained more and more popularity as time went by.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54A low score that genuinely might be typos,
0:07:54 > 0:07:5620 people said Withering Heights.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59SNIGGERING
0:07:59 > 0:08:00- Wow.- Yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's a very different book.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05That's a very different book indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Now, Jo, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Thank you.- What do you do, Jo?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I work for a local family fish and chip firm. I do their accounts.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16And payroll.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19What day of the week are you there? Every day or do you just...?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Every day. Monday to Friday.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And food on the company?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24That's fun.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25No, I don't get food on the company.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I love chips. Oh! You'd get a bit bored of it after a while.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30What do you do in your spare time, Jo?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Well, a taxi service for my two children.- Yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Running here, there and everywhere.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I'm very actively involved in our local Catholic church.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, you know, we go to quite a few things with that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Very good. OK, Jo, this board is all yours.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- SHE GIGGLES - Talk us through it if you can.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50That was a good laugh.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Talk us through it if you can and fill in any of the blanks.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm not sure. I only know one, I think.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And that's Ken Kesey.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I think it might be One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, says Jo.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15It's absolutely right. 58 is our high, you've passed that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:1711 is our low. Where will you end up?
0:09:17 > 0:09:2018! Not bad at all, Jo.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Good answer there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Well played, Jo.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It's quite a nice, easy board to ease us into this round, isn't it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I imagine you can finish these off. - I can do that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Vanity Fair.- Would have scored...
0:09:34 > 0:09:3632. Anthony Burgess?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- A Clockwork Orange. - A Clockwork Orange.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Would have scored you 17. And Richard Adams?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Watership Down.- It's Watership Down. That would have scored 42.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46So, Carol, best answer on the board, Cold Comfort Farm.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Thanks very much. Halfway through the round.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's take a look at the scores. 11 the best of the pass.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Carol and Sarah setting out their stall once again.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54They are on the first podium.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Then up to 18, where we find Jo and David.
0:09:56 > 0:09:5853, Danny and Fareed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01And then 58, Tom and Sophie.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Now, Sophie, you know what you have to do here.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Are you comfortable with this as a subject?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I studied English literature at university so I should be all right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well, let's hope. Best of luck.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12We are going to come back down the line now.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, we are going to put seven more authors up on the board
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and here they come. We have...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05There we are. David, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, David?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I'm a civil servant.- Can I ask which department of the civil service?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- You certainly may.- Which department of the civil service?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- The Department for Work and Pensions.- Very good.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15How long have you been there?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Nearly six years.- Enjoy it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I love it. Excellent.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And what do you do when you are not doing that, David?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I read books about quizzes, I think about quizzes
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and I perform in quizzes. I love them.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Have you got a team with Jo?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32We have in the past.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35We used to go to a pub in Poole that overlooked, well,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38it's not far from the sea. And we took all their money one night.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Hang on, hang on! Do you mean in a quiz or in a raid?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43LAUGHTER DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- No, we won the quiz. - You won the quiz.- We did it well.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Wow. OK, David, let's see how you do on this quiz.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51That board is a nice, fresh board for you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53What are you going to go for?
0:11:53 > 0:11:58I think that... I'll be honest, I know them all.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I don't think many people will get Jack Kerouac, On The Road.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05On The Road, says David. There is your red line.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Below this, which is 39 or less, you are in the next round.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09On The Road, how many people said that?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13It's right.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19You are in Round Two. Very well done. On The Road scores 24.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Takes your total up to 42.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Well played, David.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Jack Kerouac's second novel is still incredibly iconic to this day.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Held very dear by a number of people.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sophie, welcome back.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Thank you.- Welcome back. Now, you are the highest scorers.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You have a task here. You're up to it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Now you've seen the board, you're happy with it, good.- Yes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Remind us what you do, Sophie. - I work in digital marketing.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Indeed you do. Putting adverts onto search engines.- Yes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Presumably that's going to become more and more prominent?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, yeah, definitely.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Because we can't have that free for ever, I imagine.- Yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Sophie, there you are. You are on 58. We need a low score.- Yes.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Well, I've read pretty much all of them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'm going to go for the top one, which I wrote an essay on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I thought you were going to say, "Which I wrote."
0:13:07 > 0:13:10LAUGHTER
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Which is The Pilgrim's Progress.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14The Pilgrim's Progress, of course, says Sophie.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16No red line for you as you are the highest scorers
0:13:16 > 0:13:18but let's see how far you get down.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Absolutely right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:2935 for The Pilgrim's Progress, taking your total up to 93.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Yeah, he wrote most of the book in Bedford Prison.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's never been out of print since.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Thanks very much indeed. Now, Fareed, we come to you. Welcome.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Great to have you. Also from the University of Southampton.- Yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The University of Southampton getting a lot of representation.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48- It really is, isn't it? - Which is good.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50We had lots of Alexanders on the show a few back.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Now a lot of Southampton students. - Southampton students.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- What are you studying, Fareed?- Law.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- How's that going?- Reasonably well.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Which bit of the law do you think you'll go into?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I'd like to go into something intellectual or technology-based.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Intellectual property is the one I've been looking at.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- And you're still in your first year?- Yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You've got time for it all to crystallise between now and then.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Listen, there you are on 53.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13The high scorers are Sophie and Tom on a 93.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So 39 or less will get you through to the next round.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Other than Keith Waterhouse, I think I know them.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25So it's just a case of which I think can get the lowest score.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I'm going to go with JD Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32The Catcher In The Rye, says Fareed. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33There is your red line.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37It's right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Well done. Oh, look at that!
0:14:41 > 0:14:4338. You needed 39.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Cutting it a bit fine but you did it. 91 is your total.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Well played, Fareed.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52That sold over 65 million copies, The Catcher In The Rye.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Fareed has got a good manner about him, hasn't he?- He has.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You sense he's going to be a very wealthy lawyer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah, if I went into a meeting and said, "This is Fareed.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02"He will be your lawyer." I would relax.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04You'd think, "That's good." And he'd just...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Just like that. Nice and calm.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You could muck about and just have a laugh and stuff.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Fareed's absolutely just playing a straight bat all the way through.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14He knew exactly what he needed. 39. He got 38.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Afterwards, you walk out, you look at him, he looks at you. Boom!
0:15:18 > 0:15:19High-five!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Whooo... Boom!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- OK, now, Sarah.- Yes. - Sarah, welcome back.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I hope there's still lots on that board that you like.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Remind us what you do, Sarah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I am a student, not at the University of Southampton.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- How bizarre. - I go to the University of Leicester.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39That's some way from Southampton even.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Yeah, I know. Bit of a distance. - How did that happen?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43- LAUGHING:- I don't know.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Urgh! OK. And you are studying?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47English literature.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49There we go. Good.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'll have loads to say in this round.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Good. Also doing some part-time modelling.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Part-time, kind of full-time sometimes.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- So that fills up your holidays? - That fills up my life.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Do you think you will keep that going when you finish your degree?
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- I hope so, yes.- Excellent, OK. Now, there you are. You are on 11.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11You need to score 81 or less. Talk us through the board.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Mary Shelley - Frankenstein.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I'm not so sure about Keith Waterhouse.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travels.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I think I'm going to go for Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27OK, well, you have to score 81 or less.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let's see how far down the column you get with Gulliver's Travels.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34There is your red line. How many people said Gulliver's Travels?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's right. And you're through.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Not bad. 46 for Gulliver's Travels.
0:16:43 > 0:16:4557 your total.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Well played, Sarah. You chose the right one of the ones you knew.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The others would have scored you a bit more.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Mary Shelley, Frankenstein is actually the highest scorer of all.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56It would have scored you 66.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59To Kill A Mockingbird would have scored you 45.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02This last one, a couple of you said you wouldn't have gone for it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I think you've read most of the books.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06You'd love it, it's a terrific book.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- David, have you read the Keith Waterhouse one?- Oh, yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- And it's?- Billy Liar.- Billy Liar, yes. It's a terrific book.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14You'd love it. It would have scored you 11 points.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18At the end of the first round, the pair who are heading home
0:17:18 > 0:17:22with their high score of 93, I'm so sorry, Sophie and Tom, it's you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It was Round Two last time, Sophie and Tom. Round One this time.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm sorry. Far too soon to be saying goodbye,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28but it's been great having you on.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Thank you so much for playing. Sophie and Tom.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:35But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42And so, three pairs remain.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Very sadly, at the end of this round
0:17:44 > 0:17:46we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I've got various plaudits to hand out after that round.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well done to Carol for our lowest individual score.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Well done to Jo and David for our lowest team score.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58And Danny and Fareed, just well done.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- LAUGHTER - Thank you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Actors And Actresses.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27In a moment, we are going to show you the names of four actors.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28We need you to tell us
0:18:28 > 0:18:30the name of any feature film made for cinema release
0:18:30 > 0:18:33for which they received an acting credit for a film that
0:18:33 > 0:18:36was released in the UK or US during the noughties please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39According to IMDb, any film for which the following received
0:18:39 > 0:18:42an acting credit for a film released in the noughties.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44As Richard has just said, we are going to put four actors' names
0:18:44 > 0:18:47on the board and we just need the name of any film
0:18:47 > 0:18:50released during the noughties starring one of these people. Here is our list of four.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Now, Sarah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Over to you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05OK, um...
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I do watch a lot of films so this isn't too bad a round for me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14I'm just kind of thinking through what I think might be a good answer.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I think I'm going to go with...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22..a Cameron Diaz film. I'm going to say The Mask.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24The Mask, says Sarah. The Mask.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34The Mask.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Oh, sorry.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40The Mask has scored you 100 points. We will discover why in a second.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It is Cameron Diaz but it's 1994, I'm afraid.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45So a long time before the noughties.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Ah, yes, the noughties. Fareed.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Obviously I'd like to think I've heard of them.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The problem I am having is firstly, whether it's in the noughties.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00And secondly, whether they actually won an acting credit for it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I'm going to go with Matt Damon, Invictus.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Invictus. Let's see if that's right
0:20:06 > 0:20:09and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Invictus.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's right. Good answer, Fareed.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Still going down.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's a pointless answer!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23That is a brilliant answer, Fareed.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27That adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to £1,250.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It scores you nothing. Earns you our endless respect.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And that's it. Very well done indeed, Fareed.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Thank you very much.- Fabulous answer there.- Well played, Fareed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Again, using your lawyerly skill, I slipped a little sub-clause,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I don't know if you noticed, into the introduction.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45I said anything that was released in the US or the UK in the noughties.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Invictus was released in the UK in 2010.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- But it was released in the US in 2009.- Look at that!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- There you go.- Look at that!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And Fareed knew that. He knew that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58He needed 39, he got 38. He just...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Oh, he sails close to the wind.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04How do you do it, Fareed?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Now, Jo.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Jo, what are you going to go for?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I don't know.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14LAUGHTER
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Um...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think I'll go...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Cameron Diaz...
0:21:22 > 0:21:23And Shrek.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Shrek, says Jo.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Shrek.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Our only correct answer so far has scored nothing.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Shrek is scoring you 15.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Closer to the nothing end of the spectrum, you'll be glad to hear.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Very well done.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well played, Jo. She plays Princess Fiona, of course.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Thanks very much. We are halfway through the round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Let's take a look at those scores. Fareed and Danny, well done.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54There you are, looking very strong at this point with a fabulous low
0:21:54 > 0:21:57score of nothing. Then up to 15, where we find Jo and David.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Then up to 100, Sarah and Carol. I'm so sorry.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The Mask an expensive error there.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But who knows what will happen in the next pass, Carol.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06A low score from you might keep you in the game.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08We are going to come back down the line now.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15OK, so, David, remember we are looking for any film
0:22:15 > 0:22:18released in the noughties starring any one of these four actors.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Um...
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I think Angelina Jolie was in a film with a good-looking man
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and they were hit men and women.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Mr And Mrs Smith. - Mr And Mrs Smith, says David.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32There is your red line.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Let's see how many people said Mr And Mrs Smith.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's right. Through you go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:4428.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Taking your total up to 43.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well played, David, yeah. Starred alongside Brad Pitt.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Thank you very much indeed. Danny.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Yes.- Danny, look at this.- It's good.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01A score of nothing from Fareed. Now, 100 is the highest score.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0399 or less sees you comfortably through.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- HE EXHALES - OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07The pressure is on me to get 98 now, isn't it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- LAUGHTER - Or another pointless.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yeah, that would be good. That would be.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm going to go with one.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I don't know if it's '90s or noughties,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19but it's one of my favourite films, so I'm going to go with it.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Cameron Diaz was in Gangs Of New York.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Gangs Of New York, says Danny.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK, here is your red line. Nice and high.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Get below that, you are in the next round.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Let's see how many people said Gangs Of New York.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35It's right.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Are you going to equal Fareed's brilliant performance
0:23:39 > 0:23:41in the first pass? Down it goes. Still going down.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- 1! - APPLAUSE
0:23:43 > 0:23:47That's good! Once again, you're shading it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48He'll never let that slide.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You are shading it. 1. Your total is 1. Very well done indeed, Danny.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Very well played. She plays Jenny Everdeane in that.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Again, that's Fareed saying, "You can do well, mate, but don't..."
0:23:57 > 0:23:58LAUGHTER
0:23:58 > 0:24:02"We know who the star is here. Fill your boots. Get 1 if you wish.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- "But I'll do the pointless answers here."- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Thanks very much indeed. Now, Carol, I'm so sorry.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm afraid the writing is on the wall.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Even before you've given your answer, you are the highest scorers.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Yes.- Do you want to talk us through your thoughts?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm not very good at films.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I love films but I can never remember who was in them.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24And I don't know when they came out. But I've got a couple.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Shall I give you a thought? - Yeah, why not?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28How about...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Cameron Diaz, There's Something About Mary.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34There's Something About Mary.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36No red line for you as the highest scorers.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Let's see how many people said There's Something About Mary.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Oh, no!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm guessing that's fallen into the same trap as The Mask.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50It scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 200.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Yeah, you are edging closer to the noughties. That was 1998, I'm afraid.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Oh!- There's plenty of pointless answers. There's loads of them.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01First two there are both Christian Bale.
0:25:01 > 0:25:023:10 To Yuma, that's a good film.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Captain Corelli's Mandolin he is also in.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, that's Matt Damon.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09My Sister's Keeper, that is Cameron Diaz.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Christian Bale was in Shaft.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13The Bone Collector, that's Angelina Jolie.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Matt Damon in The Legend Of Bagger Vance.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18These last two both Cameron Diaz.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Vanilla Sky and What Happens In Vegas.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Thanks very much indeed. At the end of our second round,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27the pair heading home with the high score of 200, Carol and Sarah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28You were our low scorers last time,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30right the way up through to the head-to-head.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32This is far too soon to be saying goodbye to you.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34But thanks very much indeed for playing.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It's been lovely having you on both shows. Carol and Sarah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39APPLAUSE
0:25:39 > 0:25:42For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Congratulations, Jo and David, Danny and Fareed.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You are now one step closer to the final and
0:25:52 > 0:25:56a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, you have seen off our two returning pairs.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01On your first appearance on Pointless,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03you're straight through to the head-to-head.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We've had some brilliant answers from each of you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Notably Fareed with that pointless answer. Fantastic work.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But great low answers as well from Jo and David.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I think now you put your heads together,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15this is going to be incredibly well matched. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- JO:- Oh, no!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Britpop Bands. - LAUGHTER
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Richard.- Going to show you five pictures now of bands associated with
0:26:34 > 0:26:37the Britpop era. Can you tell us the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five Britpop bands.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41And here they come. We have got...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09There we go. Five Britpop bands.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Jo and David, you've been our lowest scorers so far
0:27:11 > 0:27:13so you will go first.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Right, what do you reckon?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16(Do you know any of them?)
0:27:16 > 0:27:21MUFFLED SPEECH
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Yeah?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Um, C.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We will go for Blur.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Blur, say Jo and David. C - Blur.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Now, Danny and Fareed, the board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Um...
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I only know one of the other ones. Fareed said he didn't know any.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45No help here. I'm too busy in the office.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47LAUGHTER
0:27:47 > 0:27:51He doesn't have time for this teenage ruckus that is Britpop.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I'm going to say B is Pulp.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56B - Pulp.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58We have C - Blur, B - Pulp.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Jo and David said Blur. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Let's see how many people said Blur.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07It's right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:1247 for Blur.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Danny and Fareed, meanwhile, have gone for Pulp.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Let's see if that's right
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Pulp.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It's absolutely right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32And it wins you the point. Well done.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Going down to...24.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Well done, Danny and Fareed. After one question, you are up one-nil.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Yeah, well played, Danny.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Well played for making it look like you came up with the answer
0:28:44 > 0:28:46when we know who was pulling the strings there.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Very impressive, Fareed. Well done. LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:53A is the best answer up there. Sleeper.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55The lovely Louise Wener there at the front.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58It would have scored 6 points.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01D is Supergrass. The wonderful Supergrass.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03That would have scored 23.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06If you don't know Supergrass, if you are too young to know Supergrass,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08who in the world is not going to like Supergrass?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10One of my favourite bands of the '90s. Just fabulous.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14And E is a big scorer because, of course, that is Oasis.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15It would have scored you 80 points.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Jo and David, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22So best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Oh, goodness me!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27The Great North Run. Richard?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Just one of these days, it's an ambition of mine, I would love to
0:29:30 > 0:29:33have a category where as soon as you revealed it Jo didn't say,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35"Oh, no, you're kidding me."
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It would be lovely to find what that would be.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41We are going to show you five clues to facts about the Great North Run.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47And here they come. We have...
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'll read those one last time.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21There we are.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Five clues to facts about the Great North Run.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Danny and Fareed will go first.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29INAUDIBLE SPEECH
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- We don't know any of them. - THEY LAUGH
0:30:37 > 0:30:41And we are just thinking which one to guess.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Should we just guess the footballer who was England captain?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49We are just going to guess. David Beckham.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52David Beckham, say Danny and Fareed. David Beckham.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Now, Jo and David. The board is all yours.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Talk us through it.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02- Olympic bronze medallist was Brendan Foster.- We think.- We think.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Allegedly, Liz McColgan in '92, '95 and '96.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12Mo Farah, I think, was something like 13th or 14th.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's a half marathon
0:31:16 > 0:31:19and you've cheekily asked the distance to the nearest mile.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- I don't know whether that's... - 13.- ..13 or 14.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24So I'll go for...
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Olympic bronze medal... - The Olympic bronze medallist
0:31:26 > 0:31:30and BBC commentator who founded the race, I think it's...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Brendan Foster.- ..Brendan Foster.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Brendan Foster, say Jo and David.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37So we have David Beckham and Brendan Foster.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Danny and Fareed said David Beckham. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Nope. I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Which means, Jo and David, you merely have to be correct with
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Brendan Foster and you will win the point.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Let's see if it's right.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- It is right.- Well done!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Nice low score, 19, as well.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Crucially, it was right. Jo and David, you are back in the game.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Welcome back. After two questions it's one-all.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Well played, David. Very nicely done.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12You were right about Liz McColgan as well.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Would have been a slightly better scorer. Would have scored you 15.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Mo Farah in 2013, it was won by Kenenisa Bekele but he came second.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Second place. Biggest scorer on the board actually. 34.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26The footballer. Well, it was first in 1981, the Great North Run.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29It doesn't seem like it's been around that long. Does it?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31And it was Kevin Keegan. It would have scored you 4.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34This answer is the one where David turned into Fareed very briefly.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36LAUGHTER
0:32:36 > 0:32:38If you were forced, David?
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- I'd have said...- 13. - ..14.- Would you?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44It's 13 and only a little bit so it's 13 miles.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Jo would have told me it was 13 and we would have answered 13.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51That would have scored you 24. Kevin Keegan the best answer there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Here comes your third and final question.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03JO SCOFFS
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Nursery Rhymes. - I'm not saying anything.- Richard.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10You did go "Ugh!" which is much the same, isn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'm just not going to say anything.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15We are going to show you the names of five nursery rhymes
0:33:15 > 0:33:17but we are only showing you certain letters.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Can you fill in the gaps and tell us what they are, please?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Very, very best of luck.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23OK, let's reveal our five nursery rhymes. And here they come.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25We've got...
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I'll read those again. Slightly better.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Phew! There we go!
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Five nursery rhymes. Jo and David, you'll go first this time.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Um...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04We definitely know two, don't we?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- We definitely know three.- Three.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- I want to go for the fourth one. - I don't.- OK, the third one.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13We will go for the third one.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15London Bridge Is Falling Down.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18London Bridge Is Falling Down, say Jo and David.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22So, Danny and Fareed, the board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26We still sing each other nursery rhymes before we go to bed.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We think we know all of them.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Should I just read out all the ones that I think...?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Yes, why not.- The top one is Old MacDonald Had A Farm.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Georgie Porgie.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36London Bridge Is Falling Down, obviously.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Sing A Song Of Sixpence.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39And Little Miss Muffet.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42We'll go with Sing A Song Of Sixpence, please.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46OK, Sing A Song Of Sixpence, say Danny and Fareed.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48We have Jo and David saying London Bridge Is Falling Down.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Let's see if that's right
0:34:50 > 0:34:52and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55It's right.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0168 for London Bridge Is Falling Down. Well done.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03At least you get to go on again.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Danny and Fareed, meanwhile, have gone for Sing A Song Of Sixpence.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14It's right. It's got to beat 68.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Oh, 70!
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Wow!
0:35:17 > 0:35:21I said it would be close. I didn't know it was going to be that close.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Very well done indeed, Jo and David.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27After three questions, you are through to the final. 2-1.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Both big scorers there.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32You could've been through to the final if you'd chosen the right one.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33I am assuming Fareed has a plan.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Coming back the next show and winning more money is what he's thinking.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Old MacDonald Had A Farm was actually the biggest scorer up there.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43It would have scored you 78.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46But, by a mile, Georgie Porgie is the best scorer on the board.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47I was going to go for that one.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49This is going to be my fault.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It would have scored you 43.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54And Little Miss Muffet down the bottom there
0:35:54 > 0:35:57would have scored you 59.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- How about that? That was exciting. - Very exciting, you're right.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I said it was going to go down to the wire
0:36:03 > 0:36:05but I really didn't know it was going to be that close.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Danny and Fareed, you will be leaving us at the end of this round
0:36:09 > 0:36:10but very, very well played.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12We can expect great things the next time we see you.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Great to have you back next time as well.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Otherwise it would all have been just over in one show.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19We all look forward to that very much indeed. Danny and Fareed.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22APPLAUSE
0:36:22 > 0:36:25But for Jo and David, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Congratulations, Jo and David. You've seen off all the competition
0:36:32 > 0:36:34and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49You've done very, very well indeed.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52We've thrown all sorts of things at you. We started off with literature.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Then we had films. Then we had Britpop.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Then we had the Great North Run. Then we had nursery rhymes.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- And Jo has hated all of them. - SHE LAUGHS
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Jo, your turn to tell us what you'd actually like to see.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05What would be great for you, Jo?
0:37:05 > 0:37:12I really like sport, but from the, sort of, 1990s.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17And soap. I used to watch a lot of soaps, like '80s and '90s.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18I don't now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:24OK, so quite niche then. '90s sport, 1980s soap operas...
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Currencies, foreign currencies.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Because that's what we both used to do.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31As always, you have to choose your category from the four we give you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Let's see if there is anything up here you like the look of.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Let's hope soap operas from the '80s or sport from the '90s is up there.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39We've got...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- It's gonna be from Doctor Who... - Sorry!
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Doctor Who and Classical Mythology In The Movies. What do you think?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Because that would be something like the one with the owl that
0:37:54 > 0:37:57flies around, you know, The Clash Of The Titans.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00They might say name characters in Clash Of The Titans
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- or Percy Jackson. - You'd be on your own.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- All right.- You'd be on your own in all of them, actually.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Doctor Who? No? So I'm going to be on my own in all of them.- Yeah.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08You're going to help me.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11You've watched classical mythology films and Doctor Who,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13what do you think?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14You know all about Doctor Who.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16No, I don't. Um...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Classical Mythology In The Movies.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Classical Mythology In The Movies, Richard.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24You've got three questions here.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26One of them will look very familiar to you. Let's take a look.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30We are looking for any named character in the 2004 movie Troy.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34We are looking for any named character in the 1997 movie Hercules.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Or we are looking for any named character in the 1981 or
0:38:38 > 0:38:41the 2010 versions of Clash Of The Titans.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46According to IMDb, any named character in any of those films.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Thanks very much indeed. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:38:49 > 0:38:52to come up with three answers. All you need to win the jackpot
0:38:52 > 0:38:54is for just one of those to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:54 > 0:38:55BOTH: Yes.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Your time starts now.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Menelaus from the Troy one. I think.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Clash Of The Titans would be Zeus. - That's going to be a big one.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Yes, a big, obvious one.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Hercules...
0:39:11 > 0:39:12No, let's not do Hercules.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Do more from Clash Of The Titans.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16My mind's gone blank.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Athena.- Mmm.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Zeus, Athena and Menelaus.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24I think Menelaus was in Troy.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Helen of Troy. I think she... I can't remember!
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Think of some more from Clash Of The Titans.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Perseus. No...
0:39:37 > 0:39:42My mind has gone blank. The old one is... Who did...?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Rocky's mentor play?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- LAUGHING:- This is killing me!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- I don't know.- Ten seconds left.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52So...
0:39:55 > 0:39:56I've gone blank.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Right...
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Menelaus...
0:40:00 > 0:40:02OK. That's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04What are you going to give me?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- From The Clash Of The Titans...- Yes.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- I think Athena.- Athena.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- From Troy, I think Menelaus. - Menelaus.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- And from The Clash Of The Titans, Odysseus.- Odysseus.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21OK. Of the three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23do you think?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Athena, I think.- OK, Athena we will put last. Least likely?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Menelaus.- Menelaus and Odysseus in the middle.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's put those answers on the board in that order then.
0:40:32 > 0:40:38And here they are. We have got Menelaus, Odysseus and Athena.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Remember, only one of these have to be pointless for you to win
0:40:43 > 0:40:44the jackpot of 1,250 quid.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47What would you do with it if you won, Jo?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49We've got the two most beautiful girls
0:40:49 > 0:40:54so we would just do lots of lovely family things with them.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Wonderful. Best of luck.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Your first was Menelaus,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01the one you thought was the least likely to be pointless.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03In this case, we were looking for characters in Troy.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Let's see if it's right
0:41:04 > 0:41:07and how many of our 100 people said Menelaus.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09For £1,250.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It's right. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Now, if Menelaus goes all the way down to zero
0:41:17 > 0:41:19then you will leave here with £1,250.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Down it goes through the twenties. Through the teens.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Into single figures. Still going down, down, down.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- You've done it! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Fantastic!
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Wow!
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Menelaus.- Thank you so much!
0:41:34 > 0:41:37You've done it. Superb.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39THEY TALK EXCITEDLY
0:41:39 > 0:41:41There we go.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Congratulations.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Menelaus was a pointless answer,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48which means you go straight home with that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Brilliant!
0:41:49 > 0:41:51APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Fareed is going to be furious. That was his money.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57You've taken his money.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Lucky that was a pointless answer because the other two weren't.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Odysseus not in Clash Of The Titans.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05In Troy, he would have scored you 1 point.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Athena would have scored you 1 point as well.- Oh-ho!
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Menelaus doing a lot of good there.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13The Burgess Meredith character you're thinking of, Rocky's mentor,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16was Ammon. It would have been a pointless answer
0:42:16 > 0:42:19for Clash Of The Titans. Let's take a look at Troy.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Andromache is a pointless answer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Lysander, Nestor and Thetis also pointless answers.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Let's take a look at Hercules.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31You could've had Atropos, Calliope, you could have had Pain.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You could've had Panic. There are a few others for that one.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38You could've had Clio, Clotho, Nessus.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Thalia also a pointless answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43And Clash Of The Titans.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47You could have had Aphrodite, Calibos, Hera, Io.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49You also could have had Ammon, as I say.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52You could've had Belo, you could've had Draco...
0:42:52 > 0:42:53I wish I hadn't started this.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57You could've had Hermes as well. Lots of pointless answers in that one.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Congratulations on Menelaus. A terrific answer.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Thanks once again to our winning players, Jo and David,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- on Pointless. Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
