0:00:17 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm Jill, this is Cheryl and we're old school friends from York.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- I'm Chris,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45this is my friend, Shaun, and we're originally from Northamptonshire and now live in London.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three. - I'm Jeff from sunny Exmouth
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and this is my lovely daughter, Gemma, from Bristol.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Fee, this is my best friend, Marin,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- and we're students from Winchester. - And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- APPLAUSE - Thanks very much to all of you,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02we'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06If I were to say the word "prodigy",
0:01:06 > 0:01:08you'd think of a person of extraordinary intellect
0:01:08 > 0:01:11or the '90s hard house techno music genre.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14This man has cornered both of those markets,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE Afternoon, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - How are you?- Very well, thank you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Excellent. Should be a cracking show today.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We've got two pairs coming back today.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Fee and Marin got knocked out in round one, which was a shame.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33On podium three we've got Gemma and Jeff,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36who, in the second round, joined the 200 club, but were very unfortunate.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We had one of those answers where, er,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Jeff just gave us three letters too many.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42He gave us The Honorary Consulate
0:01:42 > 0:01:45for the name of a Graham Greene novel and it scored 100 points,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48whereas The Honorary Consul would've scored zero.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Such are the thin margins between success and failure on Pointless, eh?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Mm.- But it should be a lovely show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Hopefully we'll see a bit more of those pairs, and welcome to our newcomers as well.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Shall we do it?- I think we should.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Come on, let's do it. - Shall we tarry no more?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Let's hurl ourselves into the giddy maelstrom that is Pointless.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Shall we linger no longer?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- LAUGHTER - Yeah, come on!
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Let's just get in there.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Let's do it, let's do it. I'm tired of prevaricating, are you?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Time for the talking to end... LAUGHTER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21..and the action to begin...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24..right about now.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25LAUGHTER
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Now, Tom and Ad didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:28 > 0:02:29so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Today's jackpot starts off at £3,000, there we are.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Remember at all times,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:47 > 0:02:49will be eliminated.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50That's it.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56World History.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01WHISPERING
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13..18th Century History, 18th Century History. Richard.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The good news is this is a bit before everyone's time,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18so we're on a level playing field.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We're going to give you seven clues on each pass to
0:03:21 > 0:03:22the events and people of the 18th century.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Just give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:2714 in all to have a crack at at home. Good luck.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We're looking for the names of these famous 18th century figures
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35We have got...
0:04:07 > 0:04:08I'll read those one last time...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37There we go. Jill...
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- ..welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Lovely to have you here. What do you do?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- I work for the ambulance service. - In York itself?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- The Yorkshire Ambulance Service. - Are you on the phone?- I used to be.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Then I despatched and now I look after the emergency call takers.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Very good indeed.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55So, Jill, what do you do when you're not doing that?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I've got two young boys that keep me very busy.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- What sort of age are they? - Two and a half and five.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Perfect. Good ages.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yeah.- Sleeping? Yes.- Very well. - Perfect.- I'm lucky.- Great.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, Jill, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm not good at anything to do with the world
0:05:10 > 0:05:13and I'm not good at history either.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So, I'm going to have to try and play it really safe.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I'm going to go with the author of Emma and Persuasion,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Jane Austen.- Jane Austen, says Jill.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Let's see if that's right,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26let's see how many of our 100 people said Jane Austen.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3447 for Jane Austen.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35APPLAUSE
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Well played, perfectly good start. Born in Steventon in Hampshire.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Now, Shaun, welcome.- Hi.- Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I'm an operations officer
0:05:48 > 0:05:51for the British Board Of Film Classification.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54What does operations officer mean?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Projectionist?- It's kind of like, more sort of admin kind of role,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- sort of, like researching...- I see.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- So you don't view all the films? - No, I'm not an examiner, no.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You see them all come in
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and watch them come out eight hours later looking slightly green,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- going, "Oh, oh..." - Square eyes, yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- And is film an interest of yours? One would hope so.- Um,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18a little bit, yeah. I prefer sports.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Happy in the job?- Yeah, happy, yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26But I am training to be an accountant at the moment.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29So, not really happy in the job? Looking for another job?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Yeah, trying to do something different.- Very good.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Now, Shaun, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38It's quite a tough board but I think I know the bottom answer,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41which is Captain Cook.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Captain Cook says Shaun. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46let's see how many of our 100 people said Captain Cook.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50It is right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:5447 our only score at this point, you've passed that.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Down to 33. Well done, Shaun.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57APPLAUSE
0:06:57 > 0:06:5833 for Captain Cook.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03With just one ship, he put more than 5,000 miles of coastline on the map,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Captain Cook, Captain James Cook.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- How would you draw a map of a coastline, though?- Me?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- How would you do it?- I would do it with a pen. I'd get some paper...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14LAUGHTER ..I'd get my best paper,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- I wouldn't do it on lined paper. - Don't do it on rough.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I would get blank paper, I'd go to a shop,
0:07:19 > 0:07:24get some blank paper, colours, actually, is what I'd do as well. I'd probably do it in green.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And I would do the sea first. I'd take blue, I'd do...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Just do the bit right next to the coast.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And I'd do a picture of the boat I was on, like that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33And then maybe a picture of me, smiling.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Would you have some Zephyrs blowing...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- ALEXANDER PUFFS - ..like that, just a bit of wind?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Something like that. Put a sail on there...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Maybe some monsters in the sea. - Yeah, some...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44RICHARD ROARS There's a monster going...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47RICHARD GROWLS ..furious with me about something.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And then I would just look out at the...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..thing...- Yeah.- ..the country I was looking at and go...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57LAUGHTER
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- All the while it's rocking a bit. Wahey, wahey!- Whoa.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Your coast's a bit wavy there.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- And that's what we've got. - Your seas...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09..that's beautiful. Look at that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10That is how I would draw a map.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- APPLAUSE - That is...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Wow.- Not bad, is it? - Not bad at all.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Very good. I love what you did with that.- Thank you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Gemma.- Yes.- Gemma, welcome back.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It was round two last time.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Most unfortunate it was, as well. - Mm.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32We're expecting great things of you this time. Remind us what you do.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'm a skin cancer nurse specialist.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38And what are your hobbies down in Bristol?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Well, I love to sing and I'm also a huge Elvis fan.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Are you?- Mm.- How far do you take this Elvis obsession?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48As far as I possibly can.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Do you have...
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- ..what's the most bizarre item of yours related to Elvis?- I've got...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56..it makes me sound like a loser,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59but I've got leaves that I scraped off his grave
0:08:59 > 0:09:02at Graceland in a little bag.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- I know!- I think...
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It doesn't make you sound like a loser...
0:09:07 > 0:09:08LAUGHTER
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Makes you sound like a...thief? Would that be the word?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12LAUGHTER
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- A leaf thief.- A leaf thief.- Yeah.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Up to that point, I thought you were talking about Elvis Costello, sorry.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20LAUGHTER
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Now, what have you done with those leaves?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26They're vacuum-packed in a special drawer.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Good. I like the vacuum-packed, that's a good touch.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34OK, now, what are the answers to these 18th century clues?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Bearing in mind we have to see you go through to the Head-to-Head
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- and beyond today.- I don't think that's going to happen!
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I think I would go for Saint Petersburg and say...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- ..Russia?- Russia, says Gemma.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Russia.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It's right. 47 is our high score, 33 our low.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- 52. - APPLAUSE
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Not too far ahead there, Gemma. Not bad at all. 52.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06A lot of damage limitation going on in this pass. It's a good answer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I've been to Saint Petersburg, it's lovely.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10I've never been to Russia.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I think it's a good introduction to Russia.- Excellent.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It's quite, it's not too scary.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- I'll go there. - It's nice, it's beautiful.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Brilliant, thank you. Now, Fee.- Hi.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- What happened last time? It was Round One.- Yeah.- Yeah, Switzerland.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah, it was countries in the EU,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30which me and Marin aren't very good at!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We'll put all thoughts about that to one side for a moment
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and remind us what you do, you're studying...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Drama and event management. - Drama and event management.- Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41How much longer have you got to do that for?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I've just finished my first year so I've got two years left, yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Are you enthused by it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Of the two options, going into theatre or event management,
0:10:50 > 0:10:51which do you think you'll go into?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I kind of want to combine the two, maybe go into venue management
0:10:54 > 0:10:57in the arts sector or something like that, I think.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58OK, very good.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Fee, you're the last person to have this board,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02so lucky you, you can talk us through it
0:11:02 > 0:11:04and fill in all the blanks for us.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06If I could do that, I would.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10But the only one I knew was the Saint Petersburg one
0:11:10 > 0:11:15and that's only cos it's in the children's film, Anastasia. Um...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17..so I'm going to do a complete guess.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I can't talk through any of them.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24And I think the country that gained independence from Great Britain
0:11:24 > 0:11:26was...India.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- OK, India, says Fee.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33India. Let's see if that's right and how many people said India.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Sorry, Fee.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Not in the 18th century. That scores you 100 points. Sorry.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yeah, that was quite a long time later,
0:11:45 > 0:11:481947, India gained independence.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- And this was the United States of America.- United States.- Yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Would've scored you 23. Now, the artist...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Canaletto.- Canaletto, yes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Would've scored you 13. The next artist?- Hogarth.- Hogarth.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Would've scored you seven.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- And do you know the style? - Chinoiserie.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Yeah, anyone who watches Flog It and all those things,
0:12:10 > 0:12:11would've seen a lot of Chinoiserie.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14ten points for that. William Hogarth is the best answer up there.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Thank you. OK, halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:12:18 > 0:12:2033, the best score of the pass, Shaun, well done,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23putting you and Chris at the head of the table.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Then up to 47, where we find Jill and Cheryl.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Then 52, Gemma and Jeff.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Then up to 100, Fee and Marin.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So, Marin, a nice low score from you could keep you in the game.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Best of luck with that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37We'll come back down the line.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44We're going to put seven more famous 18th century figures
0:12:44 > 0:12:47on the board, and here they come.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48We've got...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'll read those short novels again...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22LAUGHTER
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Phew! Now, Marin.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Marin, welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I'm a student as well at Winchester University.- Doing theatre.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59But what do you combine yours with? Fee does event management.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I do drama and performing arts.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- So very much theatre-based.- Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Do you think you'll go on into theatre when you finish?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Um, hopefully. Possibly. - Maybe teaching drama or...
0:14:09 > 0:14:10That'd be cool.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12OK. Now, Marin, this board is all yours.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We need a low score from you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I'm hoping there's something leaping out at you from that board.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- A nice obscure one.- No.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Erm... - MARIN LAUGHS
0:14:21 > 0:14:22I'm going to try.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26I think I might know one, but I'm not really sure at all.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27But I'm going to try.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I think the storming of the Bastille...
0:14:31 > 0:14:32France?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34LAUGHTER
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- France, says Marin.- Maybe not. I'm not sure.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Well, let's find out.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41No red line for you as you're the high-scorers
0:14:41 > 0:14:44but let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48It's right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- 51.- Yes!
0:14:53 > 0:14:54APPLAUSE
0:14:54 > 0:14:57151 is your total.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You are just still in the game.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01There were only seven prisoners in the Bastille at the time.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04There were huge ammunition stores in the same place
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and that's what they were really after.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08The revolutionaries adopted decimal time,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12which is 100 minutes an hour, ten hours a day, ten days a week.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Imagine! People who made calendars must have just coined it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17They were laughing, those guys.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Cos then they changed it back very soon afterwards.- Wa-hey!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Also, it was awful, everyone's iPhones...- Yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- ..you had to sync them, resync them...- Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28People not making appointments.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- FRENCH ACCENT: - iPhone.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Yes. Exactly.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34They also guillotined 18,000 people.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So it wasn't all larks.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38True.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- 18,000.- That's a lot.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- That's back when there weren't as many people.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I always find it impossible to imagine that history's real, do you?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Sometimes.- It's weird, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- And not that long ago, really. Actually, really.- It's really not.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54If you lie lifetimes end to end,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56you only have to go a few lifetimes back to get there.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- And then you're there, it's real people doing real things.- Oh, yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Now, Jeff.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Jeff, we come back to you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Welcome back, lovely to have you back.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You were awfully unlucky last time.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's looking good for you now,
0:16:10 > 0:16:1298 or less gets you into the next round.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Remind us, you're a retired schoolteacher.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- That's right, yes.- Talk us through
0:16:17 > 0:16:19some of the lovely things you do down in Exmouth.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I help repair Exmouth Cricket Club,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I collect stamps...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26What are the main repairs at Exmouth Cricket Club?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We have about half a mile of hedge to cut every year
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- and trees to lop down and weeds to pull out.- Yeah.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Nothing to do with cricket... - All got to be done, though.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39All got to be done. And how is the cricket team doing?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Very well, they won the Devon Championship last year.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Excellent. Good stuff.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49Is there a shield for well-kept grounds and things like that?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Do you get any thanks, any notice?
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Any credit for your expert hedging?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56We get free tea and coffee and biscuits on a fairly regular basis.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Can't say no to that.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59OK, now, Jeff, there you are on 52.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02As I say, 98 or less gets you through.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I think you'll have a good answer from this board.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10The Act of Union passed in 1707 was with Scotland.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Scotland, says Jeff.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's right and you are through.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:2834, taking your total up to 86.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Well played, Jeff, safely through.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35In the 18th century, Scotland was the most well-read nation on Earth.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37They had 75% literacy as well.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Better than anywhere else.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- That's good, isn't it? - It is good.- Well done, them.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- That's why we joined up with them. - Yeah, exactly.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- To improve our stats. - Yeah, exactly that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Chris.- Hello.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Welcome to Pointless, good to have you here. What do you do, Chris?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54I work in HR.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56And what do you do as a hobby?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I like to play a bit of football, tennis.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I've got a small baby boy, so I look after him.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- What sort of age?- Nine months-ish.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Very good, congratulations.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08How do you and Shaun know each other?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11We're old school friends when we lived up in Northamptonshire
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and then we moved to London and lived together for a while.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Um, old buddies, really.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Very good. OK, there you are on 33.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20You're through to the next round whatever your score
0:18:20 > 0:18:21but let's have a nice low score.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Well...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I could make an educated guess at a couple.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27But given that we're already through,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I think Turnip Townshend sounds like a nice name.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK, Turnip Townshend, says Chris.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No red line, as you're already through.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Down it goes. Look at that, nine for Turnip Townshend. Extraordinary.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49- APPLAUSE - 42, your total.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51The lowest total of the round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Well played, Chris. Absolutely right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The first man in Britain to take turnip seriously.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Yeah.- Obviously using them in a crop rotation system,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01rather than leaving fields fallow.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- They call you 'Artichoke' Armstrong, don't they?- They do.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I've never worked out why.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- There must be a reason. - I'll explain later.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- All right.- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Cheryl.- Hi.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Am I saying that right, Cheryl?- Cheryl.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- You don't like Sheryl?- I don't. I used to cry, but not any more.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Thank goodness, and thank goodness I didn't say Sheryl.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22There's nothing worse than a name
0:19:22 > 0:19:24that's very close to the proper name.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- It's my mother's fault.- Is it?- Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28She was most particular? Had to be Cheryl.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Some people call me Alexandra.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33That's even the wrong sex.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34- I know! - CHERYL LAUGHS
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I stand in front of them and they say, "Name?"
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I say, "Alexander Armstrong" and they just write "Alexandra"
0:19:40 > 0:19:42on a thing that I have to stick on my lapel.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44ALEXANDER STUTTERS
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- It's a girl's name. It is a girl's name.- It is.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- ALEXANDER EXHALES - I just...Calm down, it's fine.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Anyway, what do you do, Cheryl?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I'm a finance manager for a stately home in Yorkshire.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59That's quite fun. Nice place to work?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00It's a lovely place to work.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Is it part of a large organisation of stately homes?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's one stately home but it's got lots of little operations.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's got some wall gardens and park lodges and...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Privately lived in?- Yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Yeah.- Excellent. Now, Cheryl, what are you going to go for?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- The good news is you're already through.- Thank goodness.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19But you could always talk us through this board and supply some answers.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20I could.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Erm...
0:20:22 > 0:20:26..I would say that three British monarchs were Georges.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I haven't got a clue about the economist.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I would guess that centigrade was Fahrenheit,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35but I think I'll go Tom Jones and I think it's Henry Fielding.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Henry Fielding, says Cheryl. No red line, you're already through.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Let's see how many of our 100 said Henry Fielding.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- It's right.- Phew.
0:20:50 > 0:20:5417 that has scored you, taking your total up to 64.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Well played, Cheryl, well done. You were right about George as well.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03There were three British Georges, British monarchs called George.
0:21:03 > 0:21:0540 points for that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The centigrade one is Celsius.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11That would have scored you...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13..23.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16And Adam Smith and David Hume both died in Edinburgh.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- It's the best answer up there, eight points.- Thank you very much.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23At the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27with a high score of 151, I'm sorry, Marin and Fee, it's you again.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Two round ones.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- We haven't seen nearly enough of you.- Embarrassing!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32No, they were quite tough rounds.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'm sorry we have to say goodbye so soon,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- but thanks very much for playing, Marin and Fee.- Thank you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38APPLAUSE
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, we're now down to three pairs.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52At the end of this round we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:21:52 > 0:21:55but, Chris and Shaun, well done, lowest individual score there
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and lowest combined score, so, very good.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Then, Jill and Cheryl, you were next.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02And then, Gemma and Jeff, you were our high-scorers
0:22:02 > 0:22:04so look out over there on the far podium.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06One more round to go before you make it to the head-tohead
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and you can confer before you give your answers. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Our category for Round Two today is...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26OK, and the question concerns...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Musical Collaborations, Richard.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34In a moment we're going to show you a list of four musical artists.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Tell us the name of anyone that's ever had a UK top 40 hit
0:22:38 > 0:22:39alongside one of these people.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42If they're a named featured artist alongside one of these people
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and they've had a UK top 40 hit and that is up to the start of 2014.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50So, any artist or band who's collaborated
0:22:50 > 0:22:52with any of these four singers.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Let's find out who those four singers are.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Cheryl.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09This is about as bad as it can get.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10CHERYL LAUGHS
0:23:10 > 0:23:14The only person I can think of is Jason Donovan.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16OK. You're going to go for Jason Donovan.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jason Donovan.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It's right.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- 38. - APPLAUSE
0:23:32 > 0:23:3438 for Jason Donovan.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Perfectly good answer, Cheryl.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It was kept off the Christmas number one slot by Mistletoe And Wine.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42But then the next week it went to number one.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44There we are. Now, Shaun.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Hi.- What are you going to go for?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49This is also a tough round for me. Erm...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52..I think Rihanna
0:23:52 > 0:23:55collaborated with Calvin Harris.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Calvin Harris, says Shaun. Let's see if that's right,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:24:07 > 0:24:1038, you pass.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13That's a great answer, one! Look at that. Calvin Harris, one.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14APPLAUSE
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Good work, Shaun.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Great answer. The Scottish DJ and producer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23They were number one for six weeks with We Found Love.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Gemma.- Mm...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Gemma.- Um...
0:24:29 > 0:24:31..oh, I'm torn.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I think I'm going to say Paul McCartney and...
0:24:35 > 0:24:36..Stevie Wonder?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Stevie Wonder, says Gemma.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Stevie Wonder.
0:24:45 > 0:24:4838 is our highest score, one is our low.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Passed 38.
0:24:50 > 0:24:5124.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Not bad at all.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:56 > 0:24:59They had another number one with Ebony And Ivory,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01which was banned in South Africa.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- For many years.- Really?- Yes, it was.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- That's taking things a bit far. - A little bit far.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And also because Stevie Wonder was a vocal supporter
0:25:09 > 0:25:12of Nelson Mandela all through the years of Apartheid.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17But it was voted the world's worst ever duet by listeners of 6 Music.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- GENTLE LAUGHTER - It's not a great song.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- No, though we'd all applaud the sentiment.- Exactly.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Let's look at the scores. One, the best score, Shaun and Chris.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Then up to 24, Gemma and Jeff. Looking good so far.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Just one more pass to go and you are into the head-tohead.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Then up to 38 where we find Cheryl and Jill. A little bit ahead there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Jill, get thinking of a nice low-scoring answer
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and let's hope it's good enough to keep you in the round.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45OK, we'll come back down the line,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Right, now then, Jeff.- Yes.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'm guessing this isn't your favourite round.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- It's not, no.- You're on 24.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The high scorers are on 38 so you need to score 13 or less
0:26:00 > 0:26:04to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Um, David Bowie sang with Mick Jagger, I think.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Mick Jagger, says Jeff.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Mick Jagger. There is your red line.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15If you get below that,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17you are through to the head-tohead for sure.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Let's see how many people said Mick Jagger.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23It's right, Jeff.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- Not bad at all, 27. - APPLAUSE
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Takes your total to 51.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well played, Jeff. Dancing In The Streets.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It was another number one single as well.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I think that's a pretty bad duet.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- It is pretty bad, yeah. - And the video is...
0:26:42 > 0:26:46..if you haven't seen that video in a while, take a look at it. It's quite something.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Something's up.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- Now, Chris.- Yes.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53You have to score 49 or less.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58The only one that I can think of that's definitely right,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I think, is Kylie Minogue did a duet with Robbie Williams.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Robbie Williams, says Chris.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Here is your red line.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Get below this and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Let's see how many people said Robbie Williams.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19You're absolutely through.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- APPLAUSE - 22. Takes your total up to 23.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Lowest score, lowest total.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well played, Chris. They had a number two hit with Kids.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- It is actually quite a good song. - It's not bad.- Mm.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Not bad at all. Now, Jill.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We have a game on our hands.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37You have to score 12 or less or we say goodbye to you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Pressure.- 12 or less.- OK.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Robbie Williams was cruelly stolen from me.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47However, I believe Michael Jackson did a duet with Paul McCartney.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Michael Jackson, says Jill.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54There's your red line. It's quite low.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Can you get below that with Michael Jackson?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Ooh, 16! So close!
0:28:08 > 0:28:09APPLAUSE
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Takes your total up to 54.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13I'm so sorry.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That's unlucky. They had two hits, actually.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- They had The Girl Is Mine and...- Say Say Say.- Yes.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22There's quite a few pointless answers. Let's take a look at a few.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25David Guetta teamed up with Rihanna.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Keith Washington teamed up Kylie Minogue,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Lenny Kravitz with David Bowie.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Linda McCartney with Paul McCartney, of course. Ne-Yo with Rihanna.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Pat Metheny Group with David Bowie.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Taio Cruz and Travie McCoy both had hits with Kylie
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- and The Frog Chorus, of course, with Paul McCartney.- Fantastic.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Thank you very much, Richard.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54just out in front there,
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Jill and Cheryl.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye to you now,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59but we'll see you again next time.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Look forward to that. Thanks very much for playing.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:29:04 > 0:29:08But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10APPLAUSE
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Congratulations, Chris and Shaun, Gemma and Jeff,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17you're one step closer to the final
0:29:17 > 0:29:20and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands
0:29:20 > 0:29:21at £3,000. There we are.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:29:23 > 0:29:24APPLAUSE
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Very well done indeed.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28So, it's friends versus family.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Chris and Shaun on their first appearance on Pointless
0:29:31 > 0:29:32and Gemma and Jeff,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34we said goodbye to you last time at the end of Round Two.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I think you can always relax a bit once you've made it,
0:29:39 > 0:29:40you can confer.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Your different areas of expertise can combine.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I think this is going to be very good, very close.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48APPLAUSE
0:29:52 > 0:29:56OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Famous Moustache Wearers Minus Their Moustaches. Richard.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Absolutely, what more do you need me to add?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08We'll show you five people who are famous for having moustaches.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11But they don't have 'em here. What do you think about that?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Well, let's see.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- You have to identify them. - You have to identify them.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17The people, not the moustaches.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Not moustaches. - There will be no moustaches here.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Of course there won't.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26OK, let's reveal our five nakedly upper-lipped moustache-ists.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28And here they are. We have...
0:30:54 > 0:30:56OK.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Five famous moustache wearers, sans moustache.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Chris and Shaun, you've been our low-scorers so far,
0:31:02 > 0:31:03so you will go first.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05THEY WHISPER
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Let's go, let's go B then.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Well, we think we know the first three,
0:31:17 > 0:31:20it's just which one's going to be the lowest scorer,
0:31:20 > 0:31:22so we're going to go for B and Charlie Chaplin.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25B, Charlie Chaplin, say Chris and Shaun.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27B, Charlie Chaplin. Gemma and Jeff,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29they're all yours. Talk us through them.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30Um...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34..A is a bit of a heart-throb, isn't he? Tom Selleck.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37C I think is, um...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- ..David Seaman.- Mm.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41And I don't know any of the others!
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Do you?- Go through them. - THEY LAUGH
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Um, I think I'd go for C.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Are you sure? Not A?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52No, I'm going to go for A, Tom Selleck...
0:31:52 > 0:31:53- You think?- Yeah.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK, we're going to go for Tom Selleck. A.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We have Chris and Shaun saying Charlie Chaplin.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said that for B.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1320, Charlie Chaplin.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14APPLAUSE
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Jeff and Gemma, meanwhile, have said A is Tom Selleck.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's right.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- 53 for Tom Selleck. - APPLAUSE
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Which means, well done, Chris and Shaun,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Charlie Chaplin's a very good answer there.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Tom Selleck, in that picture, he's one of those rare men who's got...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Both of his eyebrows are the size of moustaches.- Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Either one of them, they could slide down his face and he'd be fine.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49He could use it on an off day.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Now, C is David Seaman. Would've scored you fewer points.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Would've scored you 45.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Let's leave D for a minute.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01E, of course, is Burt Reynolds.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Would've scored you 38.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Now, D is a very famous moustache wearer.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Used to paint on his moustache and then grew one in later life.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13And it's Groucho Marx.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Oh, wow.- Three points.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- It's a good one, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Very good indeed. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So, here comes your second question.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Gemma and Jeff, you get to answer first
0:33:23 > 0:33:27but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Popular Groceries.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35We're simply going to show you five items from the shopping basket
0:33:35 > 0:33:37they use to work out the Retail Price Index.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40We've missed out alternate letters from each one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46OK, let's reveal our five grocery items, and here they are...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'll read through those one last time...
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Gemma and Jeff, you will go first.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Feel free to confer.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Third one is cheddar cheese.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20THEY WHISPER
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Do you know what first and second are?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I think we're going to go for the third one down,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32cheddar cheese.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Cheddar cheese, say Gemma and Jeff. Now, Chris and Shaun, over to you.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39We're going to go for the top one. Cauliflower.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Cauliflower. So, we have cheddar cheese and cauliflower.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Imagine if someone put those two together. - LAUGHTER
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Sounds crazy. - No, but it could be delicious.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- No, no, don't try it.- Think about it. - No, no, no. What would you call it?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Like, cauliflower cheese or something?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Eurgh.- I was thinking of cheesy-flower or something.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- What do you think? - That's interesting.- OK, well,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01we'll try it later.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03OK, so, in the order they were given,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Gemma and Jeff went for cheddar cheese.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12It's right.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- 28 is what it scores you. - APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Cheddar cheese, 28.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Now, Chris and Shaun,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26let's see what you have got for cauliflower.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33It's right.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37If this beats cheddar cheese... It does!
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Cauliflower goes down to 16, well done.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41APPLAUSE
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Chris and Shaun, after only two questions,
0:35:43 > 0:35:46you are straight through to the Final, 2-0. Well done.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Well played, gents. There is one answer
0:35:48 > 0:35:51that would've beaten cauliflower and that's the second one down.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Salmon fillets. - Salmon fillets, yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Would've scored you one point.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Then instant coffee.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Would've scored you 40.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03And rump steak.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0626.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I'm afraid, Gemma and Jeff.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Nothing wrong with either of your answers there,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17but Chris and Shaun just pipped you in each case.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21This is where we say goodbye, but it's been lovely having you on, thank you so much for playing.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:36:25 > 0:36:28But for Chris and Shaun, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Congratulations, Chris and Shaun,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34you've fought off all the competition
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- and you have won our coveted Pointless Trophy.- Excellent.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45You now have a chance to win our jackpot,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:36:50 > 0:36:52APPLAUSE
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Turning into quite a jackpot. But well done, you.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Lowest scorers in Round One and Two. 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I mean, it's looking pretty good, I have to say.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05You get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Today's selection looks like this...
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Well, I know about two Japanese animated films.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Jazz Albums, no idea.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I think it's out the bottom two, isn't it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I'd say probably Science and Maths.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- OK. Go for it. Science and Maths? - Science and Maths.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Science and Maths it is. Richard.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34OK, different sort of category, this.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I'm sure some people at home will enjoy this. I hope you do as well.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40We are looking for any of the following:
0:37:40 > 0:37:42We are looking for any SI unit,
0:37:42 > 0:37:46that's any of the seven base units or 22 coherent derived SI units
0:37:46 > 0:37:49that have been given special names.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52We are looking for any prime numbers in double figures.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Or we are looking for any number
0:37:55 > 0:37:59in the Fibonacci sequence between one and 1,000, please.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02So any of those SI units, any prime numbers in double figures,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05or any of the Fibonacci numbers between one and 1,000.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers and all you need
0:38:10 > 0:38:14to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Are you ready?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Your time starts now.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Do you know any Fibonacci numbers?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Yeah, I can't remember. I don't know what SI units are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I think we'll just have to guess prime numbers.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I think 97 must be a prime number.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- And that is in double figures.- Yeah.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- You know what prime numbers are? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:35 > 0:38:3897, is there going to be an easier one?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- 179?- 70...
0:38:40 > 0:38:43..73, would that be? No, that wouldn't.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Not divisible by itself, isn't it? Is that right?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50It's only divisible by itself, the prime number. So 73, what's that?
0:38:50 > 0:38:5273, 97.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- 139?- That's not double figures, though.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Fibonacci, I can't remember. My dad will kill me.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I can't remember what Fibonacci numbers are.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- 67... - They're kind of a little cycle.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0567.
0:39:05 > 0:39:0667...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08..73...
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- ..and 97.- Ten seconds left.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Is SI units something off, like, elements from the periodic table? - I've not got a clue.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- SHAUN LAUGHS - No.- No.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- I think we'll just have to guess prime numbers. - So those ones we said.- Yeah.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21OK, that is your time up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- I now need your three answers. What are you going to go for?- (Is it 73?)
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Yeah, 73.- 73.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Ninety...
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- ..seven.- 97.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31And 67.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33And 67.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35OK, three prime numbers.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Any!- Let's go 97.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4397 we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- I think...- I'm so bad at my maths.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49One of them probably isn't a prime number. 67?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- We'll put 67 first.- Yeah.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04There we are, to be absolutely clear. Very best of luck.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Three. Who knows? Maybe they're brilliant answers up there.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09I'm afraid I haven't been doing the maths.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Now, only one of them has to be pointless
0:40:11 > 0:40:13for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:163,000 quid, that's quite a nice jackpot to be taking home.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18What would you do with that, Chris?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I'm getting married in a few months' time.- Congratulations.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Thank you very much. So maybe the wedding or the stag do.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Can I suggest maybe a bit on each?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- LAUGHTER - Maybe front-loaded on the wedding.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33At least for the cameras, anyway.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Shaun, how about you?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I'm actually his best man
0:40:36 > 0:40:38so I probably should be spending it on the stag do...
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Definitely.- That and probably a holiday after the stag do.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Yeah, you'll probably need it. Well, very best of luck.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Three good answers there.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We are looking for prime numbers in double figures.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Your first answer was 67.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59For £3,000, let's see how many people said 67.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04It is right.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Now it has to go down to zero. Passes 67, which is good.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Down it goes, through the 30s, through the 20s,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14through the teens, into single figures,
0:41:14 > 0:41:15still going down, down it goes,
0:41:15 > 0:41:16down it goes, you've done it!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18CHEERING
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Super. Brilliant, brilliant. Very well done.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Thank you. Well done, mate!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- APPLAUSE - Brilliant.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Well, congratulations.
0:41:26 > 0:41:2967, your first answer as it turns out
0:41:29 > 0:41:30was a pointless answer,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33which means you go home with that jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Very well done indeed.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Well played, gents.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You came up with three prime numbers in that 60 seconds.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43That is the only pointless one, though.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46The other two would've scored you one point and four points.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Ordered them wrong, but you won the money. Well played.
0:41:50 > 0:41:5267, I don't know why that would be a pointless one.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56There's a bit in your head that tells you it's divisible by three, even though it's not.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57But nobody mentioned it at all.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Let's take a look at the categories.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01The SI units first.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Some people will have cleaned up on this.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06A farad would have been a pointless answer. A gray, a kelvin, a weber.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10You could've had a becquerel, katal, lumen, lux, radian,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12siemens, sievert and a tesla.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15All of those were pointless answers. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Prime numbers, only two of them.
0:42:17 > 0:42:2061 and 67. CHRIS AND SHAUN WHISPER
0:42:20 > 0:42:23And the Fibonacci sequence, it's the sequence where every number is
0:42:23 > 0:42:25the sum of the two numbers before it.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29There's five of them, which are over 100 and they were all pointless.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You could've had 144,
0:42:32 > 0:42:37233. You add those two together, you get 377.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41You add 233 and 377 together, you get 610,
0:42:41 > 0:42:43which is also a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45And 610 and 377
0:42:45 > 0:42:47are 987.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50That was a pointless answer, too. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Thanks again to our winning players, Chris and Shaun,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Very well done.- Thank you.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time
0:43:01 > 0:43:03when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE
