0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31You do that by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40My name's Roy and this is my friend Dave and we're from Rugby.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44My name's Lee, this is my sister Anna and we're from Surrey.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49My name's Cheryl, this is my friend Jill and we're from Yorkshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Sally, this is my sister Rosie and we're from Gosport in Hampshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you, welcome to Pointless.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about the show as it goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07He sprays knowledge indiscriminately
0:01:07 > 0:01:09so he is absolutely the worst person to talk to
0:01:09 > 0:01:11if you haven't watched all of Game Of Thrones yet.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.- Hiya! Everybody, afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Good day to you.- And to you, good day.- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Excellent.- Wrong footed by your Edwardian turn of phrase there.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- It was quite formal.- Yeah, it was. - It's nice sometimes.- It's good.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31People sometimes say we're too informal.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- They say, "Don't say 'hiya'" and stuff like that.- Really?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- So I'm going to say "good day" from here on in.- OK.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Does the day find you well?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I really can't complain, Richard, yeah.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45That's very good. Lovely show last time.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49We had Chris and Sean, we had quite a different jackpot round, which was all maths.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52They won three grand by naming prime numbers, which was quite fun.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54We've only got one pair back from that show,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Jill and Cheryl, who got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59We'll hopefully see a bit more of them today. But, yeah, we start anew.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Let's do it, shall we?- Let's do it!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- That's not quite Edwardian enough, is it?- Not quite, is it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Let's-ith do-it-ith too-ith.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- LAUGHTER - Yeah, thank you very much indeed.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Now, Chris and Sean won the jackpot last time
0:02:11 > 0:02:14so today's jackpot starts off back at...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16There it is.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25OK, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:25 > 0:02:28at the end of each round will be eliminated. That's the rule.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Make sure you're not in that pair. Our first category today is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Words. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:36 > 0:02:39who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Novels And Song Titles With Shared Words. Richard?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yes, we're about to show you seven pairs of things.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59It's a novel then a song title,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01but we've missed a word out of both, but it's the same word.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You have to tell us what that word is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06There'll be seven pairs on the first word, seven on the second
0:03:06 > 0:03:08so 14 in all to have a go at home. Very best of luck!
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So what is the word that is in common and missing
0:03:12 > 0:03:13from these novels and song titles?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- There we are. Now, Dave, welcome to Pointless.- Hi.- Here from Rugby.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Yes indeed, yeah. - Rugby, which is precisely where?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09In the Midlands, very near Coventry and Birmingham.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- What do you do, Dave?- I'm actually a stay-at-home dad at the moment.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And a stay-at-home dad to how many children?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Two, a boy of ten and a girl of four.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20The girl of four is the main troublemaker.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And your hobbies are, Dave, when you're allowed out of home?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I enjoy going to pub quizzes, football,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28not so much playing any more.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I help out at a local football team, I'm the secretary.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And any sport, really. - OK, very good.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Now, Dave, what's leaping out at you from this board?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Nothing's really leaping out.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm not a great fan of literature,
0:04:42 > 0:04:43but I have heard some of the songs
0:04:43 > 0:04:46so I'm hoping I'm going to go for a song that I've heard of.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm going to go for the fourth one,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50which is Midnight's Children, I believe,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and Children Of The Revolution.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53OK, let's see if that's right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Let's see how many people said Midnight's Children Of The Revolution.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It's right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:0845, not bad.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Good start, Dave, that's a Salman Rushdie/T Rex mashup right there.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- About time too.- Mm! Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Now then, Lee, welcome. What do you do, Lee?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- I'm a railway alignment engineer. - Now that's fun, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Basically, you just go, "Left a bit, left a bit. Hang on, right a bit."
0:05:28 > 0:05:29It's mostly straight lines.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- It is mostly straight lines, to be fair.- So you align rails.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Where do you align them? - All over the world.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38My latest project was in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I was based in the Dubai office, working on that from there.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Fabulous! Have railways always been a passion of yours?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Erm, no, to be honest. - Oh, that's a shame, isn't it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48It is a little bit of a shame.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Were there no rail enthusiasts going up for the job, surely?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Well, maybe, but I must have beaten them to it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56What are your hobbies then, if not railways?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I play football for a five-a-side team, just getting into golf,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03still relatively poor, but I'm getting into that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Yeah, I'm just into my sports, really.- OK, very good.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Now, what about this board?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's not my favourite board, I've got to be honest.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13But I think if I had to...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Well, I'll probably go for Brighton and Me Amadeus
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and go for Rock.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21OK, Brighton Rock, Rock Me Amadeus,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26It is of course right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yeah, a big score.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Graham Greene, of course, Brighton Rock
0:06:36 > 0:06:37and Falco - Rock Me Amadeus.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Excellent! Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Now, Jill, welcome back.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Round Two it was, last time, we had to say goodbye to you.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Remind us what you do, Jill.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I work for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service in the control room.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Good for you. And in your spare time, Jill, what do you do?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I've got two young boys who keep me very busy. I like to exercise.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Erm... - Perfect! There's enough there.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Now, Jill, what are you going to go for?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'm a bit stumped, to be honest.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I think, though, I'm going to go for Fight and Can't Handle Me
0:07:06 > 0:07:08and I'm hoping the word will be "club".
0:07:08 > 0:07:12OK, Fight Club, Club Can't Handle Me.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Let's see if that's right and if so,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16how many of our 100 people said "club".
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It's right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27We have a new low score.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Good answer, Jill.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yes, Club Can't Handle Me, which is Flo Rida
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and Fight Club is written by Chuck
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and the surname which I can never pronounce.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It's like "pah-loo-nik", but you never talk to someone about him, you just see it written down.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I've read lots of his books, but I couldn't pronounce his surname.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Flo Rida, that's easy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Even though it's spelled Florida,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49it's pronounced "flow rider".
0:07:49 > 0:07:51CHUCKLING
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Sally...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Welcome to Pointless, Sally. Great to have you here, with your sister.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's a sibling show, I like this. That's very good.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Now, Sally, what do you do?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm a control room operator for the Ministry of Defence Police.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- AUDIENCE MURMURS - Oh, yes, yes! Exactly!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13That's the right reaction. That is fun.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Do you have a big table, and do you have a little
0:08:15 > 0:08:18sort of croupier's rake, and do you move things around?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Sadly not, but I do have a picture on the wall with all
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- the ships in the dockyard that move around.- That's good enough.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Erm, what fun! That's fabulous.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- And what do you do when you're not doing that?- I make jam.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32LAUGHTER
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Brilliant. What sort of quantity of jam do you make year on year?- Lots.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Vast, vast quantities of jam. - Really?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I mean, two years ago, I picked 7st of blackberries
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and made them all into jam.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Best thing to do with blackberries, really.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I mean, you know, delicious, obviously.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm not going to diss a blackberry and apple crumble, obviously.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Oh, lovely.- It's fabulous, but blackberry jam! Mmm!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I think blackberry and apple crumble is better than blackberry jam.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Really? Best format for blackberry? - I think so.- OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Sally. Erm, what are you going to go for? This is all your board.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Do you want to talk us through it?- Ooh...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I definitely know two,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10and I'm not sure on one.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Women In Love, Love of the Common People at the bottom.- Love, OK.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Sally's going to go for Love. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20let's see how many of our 100 people said Love.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24It's right.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, 25's our... Ooh, look at that, 64.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29APPLAUSE
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- 64 for Love. - Yeah, another big scorer.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Women In Love by DH Lawrence and Love of the Common People by Paul Young.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37One of those two has been on Pointless Celebrities
0:09:37 > 0:09:40but I forget which one. It was definitely one of them.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Now, you will know all of these.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You might struggle with the third one down, you'll know the others,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I know that.- No, I've got 'em all... Oh, hang on, yes, third one down.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- OK, so the top one?- House.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Bleak House and House of Fun.
0:09:50 > 0:09:5279 points, though. Big scorer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55And the third one? Love...?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Story. Love Story of My Life.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Love Story, Story of My Life, yeah,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Story of My Life is One Direction.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Er, and Gone...?- Girl.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05The brilliant Gone Girl, and Girl From Mars by Ash.
0:10:05 > 0:10:0616 points.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It turns out 25, Jill, was the best score of the round, very well done.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Jill and Cheryl looking pretty strong at this point.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Then up to 45, where we find Dave and Roy.
0:10:18 > 0:10:1964, Sally and Rosie.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And then up to 71, where we find Lee and Anna.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23So, Anna, yes, we need a low score from you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let's hope you find something nice on the next board.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27We're going to come back down the line,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, we're going to put seven more novels
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and songs up on the board, and here they come.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37We've got...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22There we are. Now, Rosie, welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- What do you do?- I'm a care support worker for Hampshire Autism.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Very good, how long have you done that for?- Only for a month.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And what were you doing before that?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I was in the Royal Navy for 22 years.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Where were you working for the Royal Navy? All over, I suppose.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Er, I went to Gibraltar, I was lucky enough to work at Chequers twice.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, HMS Chequers. Erm, hang on, how does that work?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44What were you doing at Chequers?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I was a steward.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I see.- We looked after the Prime Minister and their guests.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Right you are. OK, well, Rosie, you're on 64.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The high scorers on 71 are Anna and Lee, so, er, ideally,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58you'd score six or less to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Ideally that would happen, but it's not going to, I'm afraid.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I do know a few.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08So I'll go for Wolf Hall, Hall of Fame.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Wolf Hall, Hall of Fame, says Rosie.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Here's your red line, if you can get below that,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14you are definitely in the next round.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Let's see how many people said Hall.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20It's right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Wow, look at that, 36, not bad at all.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Second lowest score of the round,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30takes you neatly up to 100, Rosie.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Well done.- Yeah, a number one book and a number one single there,
0:12:33 > 0:12:37the book by Hilary Mantel and the single by The Script and will.I.am.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Cheryl, welcome back.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Erm, there you are, looking very strong, only 74 or less,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- that's all you have to do. - Things can change.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Oh, no, it's going to be fine. So, Cheryl, remind us what you do.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I'm a finance manager.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54That's right, and where do you do your finance managing?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Erm, at a stately home in Yorkshire.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Very good, making sure...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01So you're looking at all the visitor numbers and all that sort of thing,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- year on year? - Not really, I'm actually...
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- It's a maternity contract so I'm only there briefly.- I see.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- I'm having a bit of a life change. - OK, have you enjoyed it, though?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- I've only just started, really. - Are you enjoying it, though?- Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15That's good. OK, listen, you're on 25.
0:13:15 > 0:13:1874 or less keeps you in the game.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I know quite a few but it's which one is going to be the least...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I think I'm just going to have to go in the middle of the board
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and go Tender Is The Night and Night Fever.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29OK, Night is what Cheryl is going to go for. Here's your red line.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Get below that with Night and you're in Round Two.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's right. Through you go...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Ooh, look at that! Just, 68!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42APPLAUSE
0:13:42 > 0:13:4493 your total. Well done, Cheryl.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yeah, F Scott Fitzgerald and the Bee Gees,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48which, that was the original act.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- Mm!- That's where the Bee Gees started.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Yeah, they were just the backing band for...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yeah, then F Scott Fitzgerald got a bit big for his boots,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57and the Bee Gees said, "You know what? We can do this ourselves."
0:13:57 > 0:13:58And they were right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- They ended up selling more records than F Scott Fitzgerald.- Yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03When was the last time he had a number one single?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Long time ago. - Long time ago.- Long time ago.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09He is actually doing that, er, he's doing that tour with, erm,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- T'Pau and, er...- Yeah, he does the Great '80s Tour.- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- "Do Gatsby!"- "Yay, diamond big as the Ritz!"- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18He starts with Gatsby and then he ends, he does
0:14:18 > 0:14:22an encore with Gatsby as well, when Carol Decker comes on and joins him.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26And, actually, she knocks it out of the park, I have to say.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Oh, absolutely amazing. - Every time.- Yeah.- Beautiful.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31F Scott's still got it, but, you know...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Sitting there with his typewriter.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, erm, Anna.- Hello.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Anna, no longer the high scorers. - Good.- Can you keep that up?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Do you think...? What do you do, Anna?- Er, I'm a head-hunter in IT.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46That sounds exciting.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- A head-hunter.- Yeah, it's OK. - Where do you do that?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- In London, in Central London.- Right you are, and what are your hobbies?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Erm, I do a lot of baking,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I pretty much use anyone's birthday as an excuse to bake something.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Do you have a signature bake?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- For a sort of general baking I do a mean lemon drizzle cake.- Yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08And I also very recently made my sister a Spongebob cake,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10which I'm quite proud of.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Very good indeed.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, listen, there you are, 71.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18You need to score 28 or less to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I think I know all but one of them.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26So, I'm going to hope that you didn't go and ask many
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Justin Bieber fans, and go for The Line of Beauty, Beauty And A Beat.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34The Line of Beauty, OK, there's your red line.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Get below that with Beauty, you are in Round Two.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Let's see how many people said it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Look at that, you're through, well done. Very well done indeed.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Seven, takes your total up to 78.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Great answer, Anna, very well played. As you say, Justin Bieber,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02and The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst featuring Nicki Minaj.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Thank you very much indeed. Now, Roy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Here you are, waiting patiently to the very end of the round.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Er, 54 or less gets you into the next round,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14so this, I hope, takes a bit of pressure off. What do you do, Roy?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Erm, I'm about to start a new job in a few weeks as a nursery assistant.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Excellent, have you done that before?- No, it's a career change.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21what were you doing before that?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I was working with young people on the Princes Trust programme
0:16:24 > 0:16:26to help them get back into education.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27And what are your hobbies, Roy?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Erm, I like performing.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I've got a boy band that I'm in, which is like, er, covers.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34We do boy band covers, so everything from, like,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- the Monkees up to One Direction and everything in between.- Fantastic!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Do you do all the moves, Roy? - We try and do all the moves.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Can one of you do a backflip?- Erm, yes.- Very important with a boy band.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Only one of us. The others could try.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49As long as one of you can do a backflip you've got it made.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51That's fantastic. Good stuff, well, what are you going to go for?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yeah, erm, I know three of them.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The top one is Day.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Erm, I think the second one is Things.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And I think the bottom one is obviously Wake.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05But, erm, I'm going to go with
0:17:05 > 0:17:08a song that reminds me of growing up,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10so I'll go for the second one down, er,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The God of Small Things, Things Can Only Get Better.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK, Things, says Roy. Let's see if that's right,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16let's see how many people said it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20There's your red line. Get below that, you're in the next round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23It's right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26ROY GROANS
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Oh, bad luck, 62. I'm sorry, takes your total up to 107, Roy.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32That is a big scorer, I'm afraid.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah, D:Ream, of course, Things Can Only Get Better.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36That's the big clue there.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39One of our 100 people said Children to that, which is quite sweet.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- God of Small Children? - And Children Can Only Get Better.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44LAUGHTER
0:17:44 > 0:17:45That's nice, innit?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Positive outlook.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Erm, you're right about the ones you knew. Remains of The Day Tripper.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56That's a big scorer as well, though, wouldn't have saved you, 77.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- The next one down, do you know that one?- Islands?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, Andrea Levy novel, Small Island, Island In The Sun,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04would have scored 17.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And down at the bottom, one of these took 17 years to write,
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I won't tell you which one it was.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Er, it's James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham! 74 points.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15There you go, thank you very much indeed.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:18:18 > 0:18:20with their high score of 107, it's Roy and Dave.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Ooh, I'm sorry, that was just a high score, God of Small Things.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27As Richard said, I think D:Ream probably is what snagged you there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I think most people might have spotted that, but, erm,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32we will see you next time, I hope we'll see much more of you then,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34but, meantime, thanks very much, Roy and Dave.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36APPLAUSE
0:18:36 > 0:18:39But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Three pairs remain. Obviously at the end of this round
0:18:47 > 0:18:49we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But best of luck to all three pairs,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Geography.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17..as they could.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Arab Capitals, Richard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yep, simply looking for the name of any capital city that's
0:19:21 > 0:19:24the capital of an Arab League country at the start of 2014 please.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27As always, by country we mean a sovereign state that's
0:19:27 > 0:19:29a member of the UN in its own right.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So, any country that's a member of the Arab League
0:19:31 > 0:19:33at the start of 2014, what is its capital?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Good luck.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Anna.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Erm, I'm not actually 100% sure that I know a single one, even though...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47..Lee has been working out there for the last four months,
0:19:47 > 0:19:52I'm hoping, hoping that it's the capital!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm going to have to say Dubai.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Dubai. Dubai, says Anna.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Dubai.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Oh, Anna, I'm afraid an incorrect answer. Not Dubai.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Scores you 100 points. Richard.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Yeah, sorry, Anna, not a capital, I'm afraid. Sorry.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jill, Arab capitals.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- It's kind of like a dream come true, isn't it?- Erm, er, this is bad.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Erm, I'm not good with geography,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I'm certainly not good with capitals.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30The only thing coming to mind is Saudi Arabia, I don't even know
0:20:30 > 0:20:32if it's a country or a city.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Saudi Arabia.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Saudi Arabia says Jill.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42No-o-o!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- This is good. - It's really good, isn't it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER It's really good.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49See, what we really need in this sort of round is for a lot of these places
0:20:49 > 0:20:52to have been in the news constantly for the last three
0:20:52 > 0:20:53or four years, then we'd, er...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Then we'd remember some of them(!) - Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Shame.- No, that's a country, Saudi Arabia.- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Thank you very much indeed. Now, Rosie, what are you going to go for?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Capital city.- This is OK for me,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- so I'm going to go for Muscat. - Muscat.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Absolutely right, of course.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25There we are. 3, wonderful answer there, Rosie.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27More like it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32A terrific answer, Rosie, that's the way to do it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33The capital of Oman, as I'm sure you know.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37In fact, it used to be called Muscat and Oman. It's just Oman.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:41 > 0:21:443, Rosie and Sally, looking very strong on the back of that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Then, up to 100 where we find Jill and Cheryl, and Anna and Lee.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Cheryl and Lee, it's between both of you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50One of you needs a nice low-scoring answer.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I'm afraid we'll be saying goodbye to the other.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We're going back down the line,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56can the second players step up to the podium?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04OK, so, Sally, the name of any capital of any member
0:22:04 > 0:22:05of the Arab League?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'm not good on geography, that's why I let Rosie go first.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Um, I think it's already been mentioned today, Riyadh.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Riyadh. Riyadh, says Sally. Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Get below that, and you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Let's see how many people said Riyadh.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's right, and you're through.
0:22:33 > 0:22:367. Very well done indeed, it takes your total up to 10.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well played, Anna and Jill, it was there for you.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Lee told us it earlier, he said,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46"I've been working in Saudi Arabia, working in Riyadh."
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's the capital of Saudi Arabia.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50And it's a very good answer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But very well for being the fourth person, and going for it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Thanks very much indeed. Now, Cheryl.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Yes. Mm.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01What do we need?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05You are joint high scorers at this point, so you need a low score.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07There's no target, it just has to be low.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I don't even know if they're in the Arab League,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14but I'm going to go into Africa and go for Djibouti.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Djibouti, says Cheryl. - Take a risk.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18OK, Djibouti.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, no red line, as I say, because you're joint high scorers.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Let's see how many people said Djibouti.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- It's right.- My God!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Djibouti is a correct answer, down it goes
0:23:33 > 0:23:35to 1, very well done indeed!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:23:40 > 0:23:42That was fantastic, Cheryl.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Pulled out of the bag just at the right moment. 101, your total.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Terrific answer, the capital of Djibouti.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49As you say, just crept into Africa.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You can see why it's a member of the Arab League.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Its main source of production
0:23:54 > 0:23:56is salt from the sea.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Mm.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00There you go. Very well done indeed, Cheryl, that was a fantastic turn.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Now, Lee. You have to get a pointless answer.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I think if anyone can do it,
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- you could, Lee.- I don't know.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I feel a little bit hard done by, to be honest.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Right, OK.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16So I'll hope that the common misconception is that
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Dubai is the capital of the UAE, and go with Abu Dhabi.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Abu Dhabi, says Lee.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Abu Dhabi. Now, your red line - it's more of a theoretical red line.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It is there, but it's kind of on nothing.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You just have to hit that, OK?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Best of luck. Abu Dhabi - is it right, how many people said it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It is right.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Ooh, bad luck, 13 for Abu Dhabi. - APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:53113 is your total.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57A great answer, Lee. That round started shakily,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01but absolutely sensational from our third answer on. Very well played.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Abu Dhabi, as you say, is the capital, not Dubai.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Dubai is the biggest city in the UAE.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09The world's most expensive numberplate was sold in Abu Dhabi.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14It is literally just the number 1, and it sold for £7.1 million.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17There it is.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Now, there are no pointless answers, so, Djibouti, actually,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22the best answer you could have given, alongside Moroni,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25which is the capital of the Comoros. So, well done if you said that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You'd have got two points for Khartoum and Sudan, Manama, Bahrain.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Let's take a look at the top three.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Just heard the third one, Abu Dhabi, 13.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Baghdad would have scored you 17. In Iraq, of course.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And Cairo, the capital of Egypt, with 31.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:25:44 > 0:25:47with their high score of 113... I'm afraid it's Lee and Anna.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, you did very well there. A great low score in the end.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54But, yes, I'm afraid your answer in the first pass
0:25:54 > 0:25:57is what's sending you home. But we will see you again next time,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Lee and Anna, I'm sure you'll do much better then.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Thanks very much for playing, Lee and Anna.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04APPLAUSE
0:26:04 > 0:26:06For Sally and Rosie, and Jill and Cheryl,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Congratulations, Sally and Rosie, Jill and Cheryl,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Jill and Cheryl, one step better than last time.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Nice now you can confer before you give your answers.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You can relax a bit once you make it to the head-to-head.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And Sally and Rosie - first appearance on the show.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Very well done indeed. Our low scorers there.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Here comes your first question, and it concerns:
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Famous Brendans. A whole board.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53A whole board of famous Brendans.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56We're going to show you five pictures of famous people called Brendan.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Can you tell us the most obscure, please?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Let's bring on the Brendans. Here they are. We've got:
0:27:24 > 0:27:27There you are. A whole bunch of Brendans for you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Sally and Rosie, you've been our low scorers throughout,
0:27:30 > 0:27:31so you will go first.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Haven't got a clue on any of them.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I know B is out of Downton Abbey, but I can't remember his surname.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Take a punt on C, and say Brendan Coyle.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45C, Brendan Coyle.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Sally and Rosie say for C, Brendan Coyle.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Now, Jill and Cheryl, the board is all yours.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Talk us through it, if you can?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- We know that A is Brendan Fraser. - Yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Unfortunately, B is Brendan Coyle.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02C is Mrs Brown's Boys, but I don't know what he is.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And we don't know the other two. So we'd go B, Brendan Coyle.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Just to rub it in, you're going to go Brendan Coyle for B.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Sally and Rosie have said Brendan Coyle for C.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Let's see if that is right, and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22OK, it's all looking as though Jill and Cheryl might be right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Brendan Coyle, B - let's see if that's right,
0:28:24 > 0:28:25and how many people said it.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27All it has to be is right for you to win the point.
0:28:38 > 0:28:405! Very well done. Good low score.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42APPLAUSE
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Which means, Jill and Cheryl, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Well played, Jill and Cheryl, very nicely done.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Plays Bates, of course, in Downton Abbey, Brendan Coyle.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51A, you were right as well.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Brendan Fraser would have scored you more points, though, with 36.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59C, you're right, it's Mrs Brown, it's Brendan O'Carroll.
0:29:00 > 0:29:0214 points for him.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Does he ever actually look through those glasses?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- I've seen them more often on... - On the crown of his head.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13D is the poet Brendan Behan.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14That would have scored you 12.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16E is the biggest scorer on the board,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, 38 points.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Sally and Rosie have to win this to stay in the game.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27So best of luck. It concerns:
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Food and Drink, Richard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I'm about to show you the names of five locations
0:29:33 > 0:29:35associated with particular types of food.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37We're going to give you their first and last letters.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Can you tell us what they are?
0:29:38 > 0:29:46Let's reveal our five locations. And here they come. We have got:
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I'll read those all again.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Jill and Cheryl, over to you.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- I know the top.- OK, which one...
0:30:13 > 0:30:17THEY CONFER AND WHISPER
0:30:19 > 0:30:21OK, we think we know the top three,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25but we're going to go with the middle one - Madeira, Portugal.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27OK, Madeira, say Jill and Cheryl.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30So, Sally and Rosie,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32over to you. Talk us through that board.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Well, Dijon is the top one for the mustard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Melton Mowbray for the pie. Madeira is Portugal.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Don't know the Yemen,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45but I think the bottom one is Jarlsberg for the cheese.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- So we'll go for Jarlsberg. - Jarlsberg for the cheese.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49So, we have Madeira versus Jarlsberg.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Jill and Cheryl said Madeira, let's see if that's right,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54and how many people said it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58It is right.
0:31:00 > 0:31:0265 for Madeira.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03APPLAUSE
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Sally and Rosie, meanwhile, have gone for Jarlsberg,
0:31:07 > 0:31:08the cheese from Norway.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It's right, but it has to score lower than 65, which it does!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Very well done indeed. Down it goes to 44.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19APPLAUSE
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Back in the game, Sally and Rosie have broken back.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Which means, after two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Well played. A very big score at the top for Dijon.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It would have scored you 94 points.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Melton Mowbray, slightly better answer than Madeira, actually,
0:31:34 > 0:31:35would have scored you 56.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Now, one of the original places from where we got coffee was
0:31:39 > 0:31:43a port in the Yemen called Mocha.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Mocha was the answer, four points.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Before it came to the UK, it went on to China and became mocha-chino!
0:31:49 > 0:31:51GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Very good.- Yep.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59OK! Thanks very much, here comes your third question.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns:
0:32:06 > 0:32:08The Year 2,000, Richard?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I'm going to show you five clues now to things, events and people
0:32:11 > 0:32:12from the year 2,000.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Can you give us the most obscure answer? Best of luck, both teams.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Let's reveal five things from the year 2,000. Here they are. We've got:
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I'll read those one last time.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Now, Sally and Rosie will go first.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55THEY WHISPER AND CONFER
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We're going to try the Russian president.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05I think it might be Vladimir Putin.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Vladimir Putin, say Sally and Rosie.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Jill and Cheryl, the board is all yours.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14We assume the Roman numerals is MM.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18The Democrat defeated - I can't bring his name to my mind.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20The city was Sydney.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23But we think we'll go with Disco 2000, and Pulp.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28You're going to say Pulp. So we have Vladimir Putin versus Pulp.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Sally and Rosie said Vladimir Putin,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32let's see if that's right, and how many said it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- 68 for Putin. - APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Jill and Cheryl, meanwhile, have gone for Pulp.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Let's see if that's right, and how many people said that.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And it wins you the point.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59By quite a margin. Look at that, 21 for Pulp. Very well done indeed.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03It means, after three questions, Jill and Cheryl are through
0:34:03 > 0:34:04to the final, 2-1.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Very well played there.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09You were right about the other ones you knew as well.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Because the city was Sydney.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Actually, it would have been a better scorer as well, with 19.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18You were right about the Roman numerals as well.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The most delicious of all the years, M and M! 42 points.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24The Democrat defeated - it says defeated, but he actually won
0:34:24 > 0:34:28half a million more votes and if you look into the legal challenges, he actually beat him.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32It's Al Gore. And would have scored you 18. Best answer there.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The pair leaving at the end of the head-to-head round... Sally and Rosie.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Well, you came into this as the low scorers.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Amazing low scores we've had from you throughout the show.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45And very, very close head-to-head.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Yeah, Brendan Coyle let you down.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50We didn't really recognise any of them, to be honest.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Ah, well. We'll see you again next time.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54We look forward to that very much.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Having come this far this time, surely you can go one step further.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Sally and Rosie, thanks so much, great contestants.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:05For Jill and Cheryl, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Congratulations, Jill and Cheryl, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:13 > 0:35:15and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Well, one word to say - Djibouti!
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Djibouti, whoa! That was an inspired moment there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Here you are, in the final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39What would you like to come up in this last round?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Well, we pretty much have opposite tastes,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43so anything I like, Jill doesn't.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Yeah, we've kind of got everything generally covered.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48But not with showbiz.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- I suppose politics wouldn't... - Politics, and sport.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Sport, generally, no.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- OK, apart from that, everything is great?- Yeah, we'll have a stab.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Brilliant. As always, you get to choose a category
0:35:58 > 0:35:59from the four on the board.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Let's hope there's something up there you like.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Today's selection looks like this:
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Wow.- Wow. Yeah. OK.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Well, I'm counting out sport.- I'm counting out sport, sport's a goner.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- Animals?- Animals?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Let's go for it. Yes.- Animals.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Our fathers will never speak to us again.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Good luck. A couple of unusual little questions in here.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28It's dogs, really, rather than animals.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30We're looking for three different things.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34The title of any of the original seven Lassie films
0:36:34 > 0:36:36from the 1940s and 1950s.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Any first dogs since 1977 -
0:36:38 > 0:36:42that's any dog belonging to any president since Jimmy Carter.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Or we are looking for any breed of terrier listed on the Crufts website.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49So, Lassie films, first dogs and breeds of terrier.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54As always, you've up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57To win the jackpot of £1,000, just one answer has to be pointless.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- OK.- Going towards terriers.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Yes.- Cairn.- Yep.- Boston.- Yes.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Boston.- Yorkshire. Norwich.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13What else do you want to go for?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Yorkshire, don't go Yorkshire. - No.- I think maybe Boston.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I was going to say a Boston.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Cairn?- I think Cairn. But maybe no.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Is there a Skye? - A Skye Terrier, yeah.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31I would maybe have gone Norwich, because people think Norfolk,
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- but not Norwich.- OK.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Do you want to go...? Is there any others?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Think of places in England and Scotland!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Are you happy with Skye? - Skye and Boston, yeah.- Skye, Boston.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- They're the only ones I can think of.- 10 seconds left.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59- And then we go Norwich?- Norwich. Yeah.- Yeah.- OK.- OK.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02OK, sounds like you've decided on your three,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and now your time is up. What are you going to say?
0:38:04 > 0:38:08We'll go for the Boston, the Norwich
0:38:08 > 0:38:11and the Skye. All breeds of terrier.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Boston, Norwich, Skye.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- BOTH:- Boston. - OK, Boston goes last. Least likely?
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- I'd say Skye. - I think maybe Skye. Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Skye goes first, Norwich in the middle.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Let's put those on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30We've got:
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Well, three good answers on the board. The best of luck.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41£1,000 - nice jackpot to be taking home.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43What would you do with that, Jill?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47I think we'd probably have a bit of a joint jolly.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Trip down south... Our friend is due a baby at the end of the year,
0:38:50 > 0:38:55so maybe a trip down south. Nice hotel, bit of afternoon tea.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Very nice indeed.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Well, in all three cases, we're looking for breeds of terrier.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Your first answer was Skye Terrier. Let's see if that's right.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Let's see how many people said it for £1,000. Is it pointless?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11It's right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Now, if this goes all the way down to zero, you will leave here
0:39:15 > 0:39:18with £1,000 in your back pockets,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21down it goes into single figures, still going down, down it goes.
0:39:21 > 0:39:232!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- APPLAUSE - 2!
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Skye Terrier - a brilliant low score there, but not a pointless answer,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Your second answer was Norwich Terrier.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Let's see if it's right.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it is pointless, it wins you the jackpot for £1,000.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Let's see how many people said Norwich Terrier.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Well, it's right.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Skye, your first answer, took us all the way down to 2.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Norwich Terrier now taking us down through the teens,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59into single figures. Down it goes. Still going down...past 2,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01to 1!
0:40:01 > 0:40:04APPLAUSE
0:40:07 > 0:40:10It's all moving in the right direction, you have to say.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13It's looking very good for your third and final answer,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16which is Boston Terrier.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's hope this is pointless. If it is, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's see how many people said Boston Terrier?
0:40:25 > 0:40:30It's right. Skye, your first answer, took us down to 2.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Then Norwich, your second answer, took us down to 1.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Boston Terrier now taking us down into single figures. Down it goes,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38still going down, down it goes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- 2! - APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Ooh, that is cruel.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Three excellent answers there. Three lovely low scores
0:40:48 > 0:40:50but I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:40:50 > 0:40:51that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55That will roll over on to the next show.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58But you have been fantastic. Great show you've had.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Great having you here. You take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Thank you very much. - Thanks.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Very unlucky - 2, 2 and 1. Not a bad category, Terriers.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I'll take you through the pointless answers in a minute.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15There will be some you know, I'm sure.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17I'll go through the other two categories.
