0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29This is a show where all the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:29 > 0:00:33and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers that those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Emma. This is my husband Moose. And we're from Glasgow.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number two.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Rosie. This is my sister Sally and we're from Gosport in Hampshire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Anna. This is my brother Lee and we're from Surry.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dave. This is my friend Roy and we're from Rugby.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11the Indiana Jones of fact-cracking ignorance with his whip of knowledge
0:01:11 > 0:01:13and he also looks breathtaking in a fedora,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon, to you.- And to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We have three returning pairs from the last show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Lots of familiar faces for us.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30And they go in order here. We've got Dave and Roy on the last podium, were knocked out in round one.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We need to see a little bit more of them this time.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Then Anna and Lee, who were knocked out in round two.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And then Sally and Rosie, who got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40They were beaten by Jill and Cheryl. It was a terrific final, as well, wasn't it?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44They had to name terriers, different types of terriers on the Crufts website.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48They got two points, two points and one point in that final.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- It was tough, wasn't it? Tough on them.- Very.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And we've only got one new pair. But we've got a Moose.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57He looks like he's on security for us, which is great.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, Jill and Cheryl didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So, today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08APPLAUSE
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22OK, so, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Our first category today is...
0:02:28 > 0:02:29US presidents.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Can you all decide on your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40OK, and our question concerns...
0:02:46 > 0:02:47States of birth of US presidents, Richard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Yes, don't panic. It is easier than that, I promise you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52We're about to show you a map of the United States of America.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56We're going to highlight 18 different states in which presidents have been born.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You just need to name any of the states you're about to see highlighted.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- So, very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03OK, we're going to show you an image.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It will stay up on the board the whole way through the round. It won't be changing.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Let's show that image with those states highlighted. And here it is...
0:03:12 > 0:03:16There we are. That makes things much, much, much, much easier, doesn't it, Emma?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, I don't know!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Emma?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm the education officer for a veterans' charity in Scotland.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Good for you. How long have you done that for?- Just since last year.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Going well? Enjoying it? - Yeah. Yeah, it's good.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I teach remembrance in schools, so, it's different every day.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Yeah, absolutely. And what are your hobbies, Emma?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I work with a theatre company that does the Edinburgh Fringe every year.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46So, I do that. So, we're starting rehearsals.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- How many of those have you done? - This will be my 11th year.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- 11th year?- Yeah.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What time of day or night do you perform?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Usually about seven in the evening. So, a good slot, yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Oh, that's perfect. You've got the same slot this time?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Yeah, but it's 7.15, I think, this time.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03OK, is it very experimental, Emma?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06This year, I don't think it's written yet.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10So, extremely experimental! Excellent!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Make it up as you go along. - That's fine.- Fabulous.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Now, what are you going to go for of these states?- Erm...
0:04:16 > 0:04:20There's quite a few obvious ones.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23But I'm going to try Georgia.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Georgia, says Emma. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Georgia.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32It's right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Still going down, Emma. That's a very good sign. Down to 20.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Very well done indeed. Gets us off to a rollicking start.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Very well played on that first podium, yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48In fact, Jimmy Carter was born in Plains, Georgia.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- The first American president to be born in a hospital.- Interesting.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Now, Rosie, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yes, you were our low scorers all the way through last time.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- And then Jill and Cheryl just whipped it out from under your noses in the head-to-head.- They did.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Remind us what you do, Rosie.- I'm a care support worker.- That's right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And what do you like getting up to down in Gosport?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, I like to do cross-stitch,
0:05:10 > 0:05:15I like National Trust properties, baking. So, a few bits and pieces.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19A few bits and pieces. How good is your American geography?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Well, I would have been better if you'd asked me the names of American presidents I've met.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- That would have been better. - Oh, how many of those have you met?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- I've met two. - Have you? Which were they?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I've met Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yeah? Ooh...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- And how? How come? - Whilst I was in the Navy, so...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Of course.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Was this when you were at Chequers? - Yes, it was.- Oh... Very good.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, what are you going to go for, Rosie?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Well, I do recognise two very obvious states.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- But I'm going to try Connecticut. - Connecticut, says Rosie.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Let's see if that's right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said Connecticut.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00It's right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Well, Georgia scored 20. Connecticut passes 20.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Look at that, down to 10!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Very well done indeed, Rosie. Good answer.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well played, Rosie.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13In fact, George W Bush was born there,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17while George Bush Senior was attending Yale University after the Second World War.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Thanks very much indeed. Now, Lee.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Lee, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Yeah, round two last time.- That's right.- Remind us what you do, Lee.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I'm a rail alignment engineer.- OK, and where do the rails come from?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Is that your company as well?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35No, we're just in charge of, like, the design.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38How much does the design of railways vary?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I mean, I'm talking about the actual railway.- How much does it vary?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Yeah.- What do you mean?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Hold on, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47LAUGHTER
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I would have thought one railway looks remarkably like another.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, it's just two tracks. It's not... That's it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- That's about as complicated as it gets.- So, design of railways is...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Oh, no, you've got to be very smart. Very switched on.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- And, obviously, you've got to get the gauge right, because that would be a disaster.- Of course. Madness!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11You're still stumbling over what he actually does for a job.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Well, I kind of want to know what he does.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Because it can't just be a matter of aligning the rails. I mean, you could do that with a tape measure.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Well, basically, they say we want from point A to point B
0:07:21 > 0:07:26and you just have to design it. Obviously, you've got stuff to miss. Like, you've got piers in...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, I see what you mean! Oh, that's fun.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You've got buildings, you've got viaducts, you've got underground...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Oh, yes, that's a massive deal. - Switched on, I told you!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36LAUGHTER
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I would change the job description, because rail alignment,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42that just sounds like you're just standing there with a pencil going,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47"No, no, no. No, mate, no, the other one. I said right. I mean left. I mean left. The left one."
0:07:47 > 0:07:50"Oh, that'll be fine. That looks right. That's near enough."
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- But, actually, it's all about routing.- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56That's what it is. Rail routing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Oh, I like that. - There you go.- Better.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Rail alignment...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Now then, Lee.- Yes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- What are you going to go for?- The two that I know are really obvious.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09So I think, she might not thank me,
0:08:09 > 0:08:14but I'm going to have a bit of a stab at one of the northern states
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and just hope that I've got it in kind of the right place,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21because there's a lot of yellow in the top corner.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25And I am going to go for Maine.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Maine, says Lee. Maine.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Let's see if that's right. Let's see how may people said Maine.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Bad luck, Lee. I'm afraid Maine is an incorrect answer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Scores you 100 points.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Yeah, I think your instincts are right.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44There's a lot of yellow up in that top right-hand corner,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48except for the very, very, very top right-hand corner.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51And that's Maine, I'm afraid. That's unlucky.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56OK, Dave. Welcome back.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Now, round one...- Round one, yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Round one, that didn't go well.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03But we discovered last time that you're a stay-at-home dad, Dave.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07And what do you like doing when you get out of home?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I actually help run a church youth club,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13which is something that I'm very enthusiastic about.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- It's for seven- to 11-year-olds in one of the local churches that I go to.- Very good.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And sport, obviously, you organise a bit of that as well.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I don't play it so much any more. You may be able to tell.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- But I enjoy watching it very much. - Very good.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- How's your American geography, Dave? - Shocking.- OK.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's so tempting to go for one of the easier answers.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40But I'm going to take a bit of a punt to try and score low
0:09:40 > 0:09:44and hope I don't follow the big red X
0:09:44 > 0:09:46and I'm going to go for North Carolina.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50North Carolina, says Dave. Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's right. Good punt there, Dave. Well done.
0:09:59 > 0:10:0110. Joint low score there.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Good.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Good answer. Well played. You can see that highlighted on your screens now. North Carolina.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Birthplace of James Polk and Andrew Johnson.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:10:17 > 0:10:1810, the best score of the pass.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19So, well done, Dave and Rosie.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22That puts both of those pairs on a pretty strong footing at this point.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Then up to 20, where we find Emma and Moose.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Then, I'm afraid, it's up to 100, Lee.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Anna, there may be more incorrect answers, but let's have a nice low-scoring correct one from you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So, remember, Roy, we're looking for the states of birth of US presidents,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43as highlighted on this map.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Roy, we discovered last time you're about to start a new job.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Have you got a bit of time off between the two? - Yeah, a couple of months.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I'm just sort of finishing my notice period at the old job.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Have you got fun plans for the two months intervening?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'm probably going to volunteer at the new job
0:10:57 > 0:11:00just to kind of, you know, get used to it a little bit.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04And then, probably play some golf, if the weather's nice and just do something to chill out.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I've just moved house, as well,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08so I'll probably be badgered into doing the decorating.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11OK, well, it's a year of big change for Roy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What are you going to go for?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14We need a score of 89 or less
0:11:14 > 0:11:17for you to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22This is like a combination of my worst possible subjects in terms of history and geography.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Because of Dave's great effort last time,
0:11:24 > 0:11:29I think I'm going to take what I think is an easy one, but I'm not even sure, and go with Texas.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Texas, says Roy. Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34You just have to get below that
0:11:34 > 0:11:36with Texas and you're in round two.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Absolutely right, of course, and through you go. A high score, 69.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But it's all you needed. 79 is your total.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Yeah, better safe than sorry there, Roy. Well played.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55So, the unmistakable shape of Texas there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59It's the birthplace of Lyndon B Johnson and Dwight D Eisenhower.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Anna.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Remind us what you do, Anna. - I'm a headhunter for IT.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08A headhunter for IT?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10What's the difference between headhunting and recruitment?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13A recruitment consultant would probably disagree with this,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- but headhunting is harder. - Why is it harder?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- It's generally more specialist. - I see.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23And it's approaching people that aren't looking for a job.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I see. So, you're going for very specific people.- Yes.- I see.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- And do you enjoy that? - Yeah, I don't mind it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Do you have to meet them surreptitiously?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Obviously, they don't want their firms to know that they're meeting headhunters, do they?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yeah, there is a lot of that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39There is a lot of blagging switchboards and stuff.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- I bet.- Yeah.- Well, it's quite exciting.- Yeah, it can be OK.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Very good. Now, Anna, there you are, you are on 100.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48As I say, we need a very low score from you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52OK, geography, as we saw last time, not good for me.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56The actual presidents I could have done.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58So, even though everyone says they're the easy ones,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I don't know a single one on that board,
0:13:01 > 0:13:07so I'm going to take an absolute punt and say Maryland.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Maryland, says Anna. Maryland.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11No red line for you, as you're the highest scorers.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But let's see how far down the column you get with Maryland.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Oh, bad luck, Anna.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I mean, if you're going to take a punt,
0:13:21 > 0:13:22it's a good sort of punt to take.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25But I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Scores 100 points.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Takes your total up to 200. - Yeah, sorry, Anna.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29In fact, Anna and Lee, very, very unlucky. 200 points.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You've sort of pretty much dodged,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36you know, virtually the only ones on the entire east coast that aren't yellow, I'm afraid.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Both good guesses and both incorrect. Sorry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Now, then. Sally, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sally.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50I'm a police control room operator for the Ministry of Defence Police.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Wow, what two very high-powered jobs.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You had Rosie working at Chequers
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and you, I suppose, coordinating all the security around it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Did your jobs ever cross over?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- No.- They never did?- No, this is a relatively new job for me.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, I see. I see. But fun. Enjoying it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- I'd say fun's not really quite the right word.- Love it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- But interesting, certainly. - I love it.- Every day different.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And, Sally, what do you do when you have your downtime?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I make a lot of jam still. I walk my dog. I play with my dog.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I watch her destroy blankets.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Now, I always love it,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26if you go to France and you look on a supermarket shelf,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28they have jams that we could only dream of.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32They have things like fig jam. What's the maddest jam you've made?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I do rosehip.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Oh, that sounds good. - I've made rose-petal jelly before.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Mm...- I don't tend to do sort of common-or-garden ones.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I do a very nice elderberry jelly.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46That's for with meat, is it, that you have elderberry jelly?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50You can have it in sandwiches, you can eat on its own. It's sweet.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53What a versatile spread! What colour is it?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- It's a very dark red.- Right.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59OK. Now, Sally, you're through to the next round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00We just need an answer from you,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02even if it's incorrect, it doesn't matter.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I've been reprieved, because geography is not my strong point.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And I'm going to go for the obvious one, California.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12California. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14No red line for you, you're already through.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17It's right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:2160.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Takes your total up to 70. The lowest total of the round so far.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Yeah, a cop-out of an answer there, but a correct one.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Richard Nixon, born in California. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Now, Moose, what do you do?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- I'm a prosthetist.- A prosthetist?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I mean, that's an industry that's changed a lot over the last 20 years.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- It's developing rapidly. - Yeah. Extraordinary.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44And fantastic technology. I imagine 3D printing must all be...
0:15:44 > 0:15:46There's quite a lot of things in development,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49but the things which are commercially available are probably...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52A lot of the traditional methods are still the best methods,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57in terms of the manufacture of the limbs to make them bespoke,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00make them fit the individual. A lot of that is the traditional way.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03A lot of the components, so, the knees and the feet, hips,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06hands, certainly, elbows, that sort of thing,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08are all developing a lot, rapidly, really.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Fantastic. I'm going to change the subject, Moose. Tell me about Moose.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- It's my name. It's my first name. - It is your first name?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- It is my first name.- That's your given name?- That is my first name.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- So, it's not a nickname? - No, not a nickname.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Because I was thinking, you know, two eyes, a nose...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I mean, not that moose-like.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- That's kind of you to say. - But, yeah, pretty human. Erm...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34What am I talking about?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37LAUGHTER
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Anyway, Moose, you're on 20. You are through to round two.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It doesn't matter what you score. - That's a relief.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Do you want to talk us through some of those states or do you want to just...?- I can give it a go.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've travelled a little bit around the States.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I've been very fortunate with that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Never been to California, but I've travelled a bit around Texas.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55So that would have been a good one.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The central states, the Midwest, I'd probably get a bit confused with those.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Probably got Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Then, New England, I guess. I'll go with one of those, I think.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I think we've got New York, New Jersey, Vermont up there.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15But I think I'll go with the home state of probably my favourite president,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Josiah Bartlet, which is New Hampshire.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21New Hampshire, says Moose. Let's see if that's right.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Absolutely right.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Very well done indeed. 12. Takes your total up to 32.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Lowest score of the round by a margin.- Very well played, Moose.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yes, the birthplace of Franklin Pierce as well as the fictional Jed Bartlet as well.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Funnily enough, in your little summing up,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51you gave us the best answer there is on the entire board.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Very well done at home if you said,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55for 2 points, Vermont. Terrific answer.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58There's Vermont. We'll highlight some of these as I go through them.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You would have got 7 points, let's see it, for Iowa.
0:18:01 > 0:18:057 as well for Kentucky.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You'd get 9 for Missouri.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's a terrific answer. 9 for Nebraska.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You'd have got 13 for Arkansas.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18New Jersey, that would have scored you 13, as well.
0:18:18 > 0:18:2114 for Virginia, another one you mentioned.
0:18:21 > 0:18:2615 for Pennsylvania and for Illinois.
0:18:26 > 0:18:2819 for Massachusetts.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33And the only other one we haven't said so far, New York, for 46.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So, at the end of our first round the pair who are heading home with that high score of 200,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm afraid, Lee and Anna, it's you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yeah, it was a tough round, that, wasn't it?- It was.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Might as well go for it, as well.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Yeah, well, you know, you were so nearly right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So, thank you so much for playing. Anna and Lee, great contestants.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54APPLAUSE
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01APPLAUSE
0:19:04 > 0:19:05And so we're down to three pairs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Obviously, at the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11But you've all done very well in that round.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Congratulations to Rosie and Dave for the lowest individual scores, which you tied.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Low scores of 10 there. And well done to Moose and Emma.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Lowest combined score. Fantastic.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22This is going to be very hard-fought, I think.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Our category for round two today is...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Brit Awards. Can you all decide on your pairs? Who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Multiple Brit Award winners, Richard.- Yes, a good one, this, I think.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56We're looking for any artist or group who've won three or more Brit Awards.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Any award at all, throughout the course of their career, please.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04And that's from 1977, through to the 2014 ceremony.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09So, any artist or group who won three or more Brit Awards in any category.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Thanks very much indeed. OK, so, Emma.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Oh, this one's tough.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I've got a couple of answers kicking about
0:20:17 > 0:20:20that I think would be quite obvious. But I...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Moose might kill me, but I might just go for a really obscure one and give it a try.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29So I'm going to say Belle and Sebastian.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Belle and Sebastian, says Emma. Belle and Sebastian.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Oh, I'm sorry, Emma. I'm afraid an incorrect answer there, scoring you 100 points.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Yeah, sorry, Emma. Though, I have to say thank you for mentioning Belle and Sebastian, my favourite group.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50It's a shame. They did win a Brit Award, won Best Newcomer in 1999.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sally.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56OK, so, we're looking for any group or artist that's won three or more Brit Awards.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I'd like to go obscure, but I'm not going to.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm going to play it safe and say Oasis.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Oasis, says Sally.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Oasis.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Well done.
0:21:15 > 0:21:1638.
0:21:18 > 0:21:1938 for Oasis.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Yep, six wins to them, all the way from Best Newcomer in 1995
0:21:24 > 0:21:27through to Outstanding Contribution in 2007.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29That pretty much covers it all, doesn't it?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Pretty much does. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Roy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Right, well, I love pop music, but I'm struggling.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I've got a few ideas. I think I might have to play it safe. Really safe, actually,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and go with Take That.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Take That, says Roy. Let's see if that's right
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and let's see how many people said Take That.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53It's right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, it passes Oasis.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0032.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yeah, nominated for 16 and won eight.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08We're really sticking at the top end of the scorers here, I have to say.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Maybe that'll all change in the second pass. Let's look at the scores as they stand at this point.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Well, 32, Roy, is actually our low score at this point.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Then up to 38, where we find Sally and Rosie.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Then up to 100, Emma and Moose.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well done for taking a punt, though, Emma.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'm sorry it didn't pay off. Sometimes it does.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Good luck, Moose. Get thinking of a nice obscure answer.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Maybe it'll keep you in the game.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37OK, so, Dave, remember, we're looking for any artist or group
0:22:37 > 0:22:40that's won three or more Brit Awards.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42OK, not the best subject for me.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'm going to stick with Roy's boy band theme
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- and I'm going to go with Westlife. - Westlife, says Dave.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Let's see if Westlife is right and let's see how many people said it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55There's your red line. If you can get below that red line with Westlife,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57you are into the head-to-head.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Oh, no!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03That's a lifeline for Moose and Emma there.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08But I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 32.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Yeah, they've won just the two, I'm afraid, Westlife.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Twice as many as Belle and Sebastian, but one fewer than you need.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Thanks very much indeed. Now, Rosie.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Rosie, we need a score of 93 or less from you.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK, I'm going to go slightly earlier
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and I'm going to try Annie Lennox.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Annie Lennox, says Rosie. Sounds good. Let's see if it's right.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Get below that with Annie Lennox and you're in the head-to-head for a second time.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's right and you are through. Very well done indeed, Rosie.
0:23:44 > 0:23:468.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Brilliant answer. 46 is your total.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Well played, Rosie. Seven wins for the brilliant Annie Lennox.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Now, Moose, you have to score 31 or less.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You HAVE to score 31 or less or it's goodbye.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yeah, pressure's on now.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And probably one of my least favourite subjects or least decent subjects for me.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I'm going to have to give it a guess, obviously, on something
0:24:10 > 0:24:13to try and get below 32.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17On the basis that it's from as early as 1977,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'll go with something older, I think.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I've no idea about the Brit Awards at all. So, I'll go with Queen.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27OK, Queen, says Moose. Let's see if Queen's right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Let's see how many people said it. There's a red line.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's right.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And you are through to the head-to-head! Very well done indeed.
0:24:39 > 0:24:4010 for Queen.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42110 your total. Good work, Moose.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah, well played, Moose. They've won three.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49They won the Best Single in the very first one in 1977.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53They've won Outstanding Contribution and they've won Best Single twice.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54So, good answer. Very close, though.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Before we go to the pointless ones, I'll just give you some of the 1-pointers.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00There's quite a lot of big names and low scorers.
0:25:00 > 0:25:031 point for Dido, Bjork, the Scissor Sisters, Dire Straits, Bob Geldof,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Beck, Pet Shop Boys, Cliff Richard, Travis, Lady Gaga.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08All of those would have scored you 1 point.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's take a look at the pointless answers...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Dave Stewart has won Best Producer three times.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Duffy, she won three, the Welsh singer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17All of those in 2009.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Kanye West has won three.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Lisa Stansfield has won three. Paul Weller has won four.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Paul Young, three.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Peter Gabriel, Seal.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Trevor Horn, again, won three Best Producer Brits.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36The Darkness was also a pointless answer. They won three in 2004.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Let's take a look at the top three answers...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home with their high score of 132,
0:25:53 > 0:25:54I'm afraid, Dave and Roy.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'm sorry you didn't make it to the head-to-head.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58I thought you were going to there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But it's been great having you on the show.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Sorry to say goodbye, but thanks very much for playing, Dave and Roy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07APPLAUSE
0:26:07 > 0:26:10But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Congratulations, Sally and Rosie, Emma and Moose.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22You're now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26APPLAUSE
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I think this is going to be very interesting.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Sally and Rosie, you're here as a low-scoring pair for the second time.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Last time, you got done in by the higher-scoring pair.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38This time, you've got to be hoping to make it through to the final.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Emma and Moose, we've had some great answers from you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Emma, Belle and Sebastian could have been a brilliant answer. - It could've been.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46But Moose has done some expert work digging you out there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51So, I think, now you can put your heads together, I think you will have some great answers between you.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:26:59 > 0:27:02OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Dad's Army, Richard.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11We're going to give you the initials now of five actors who've appeared in 40 or more episodes of Dad's Army.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17OK, let's reveal our five sets of initials. And here they are...
0:27:25 > 0:27:26I'll read those one last time.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Sally and Rosie, you've been our low scorers throughout, so you will go first.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38John, Jack, James... What do we go for?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40John Le Mesurier?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Is he going to be more well-known than Ian Lavender?- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- No, I wouldn't have thought so. - So, you think Ian Lavender?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47No, I think John Le Mesurier.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You think he's going to be the one? OK.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54We're going to try the top one. I think it's John Le Mesurier for the top one.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56OK, John Le Mesurier, says Sally and Rosie.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Now, Emma and Moose. The board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I've seen lots of Dad's Army. Don't think Emma's seen any.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I've never seen any, so I can't talk you through it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I'm very bad on actors' names, but I think I know two of them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I think I know the second and third one.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13I think the second one's Arthur Lowe, which I'm more sure of.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And a third one, IL,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19a little niggling in the back of my mind thinks that's Ian Lavender.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20- It's up to you. - What are you going to go for?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I'll go with Ian Lavender.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25In Lavender. OK, so, we have John Le Mesurier and we have Ian Lavender.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Sally and Rosie said John Le Mesurier. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Let's see how many people said it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33It's right.
0:28:36 > 0:28:3852.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40APPLAUSE
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Meanwhile, Emma and Moose have gone for Ian Lavender, IL.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Ian Lavender.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53It is right, Ian Lavender.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56And it wins you the point. Look at that. Down it goes to 35.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Ian Lavender, an excellent answer there.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05- Emma and Moose go into an early lead after one question. It's 1-0. - Yeah, very well played, Moose.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I don't think I've ever said, "Very well played, Moose," before.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11No, you remember. Do you remember when we had those mooses on?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Oh, yeah, yeah!- One didn't play that well, but the other one did.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Yeah, that guy Moose. He was married to Elke.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18LAUGHTER
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- That's right.- She was a DEER!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22LAUGHTER
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Let's fill in the rest of this board. You're right about Arthur Lowe.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Arthur Lowe actually scores fewer points than John Le Mesurier, I think because of the initials.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30I think the JLM gives a lot away.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Arthur Lowe would have scored you 38.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Now, JL. He was a great stage actor, Shakespearean actor.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40He said, "You know what? I spent my entire career doing these amazing Shakespearean things
0:29:40 > 0:29:42"and all I'm known for is this rubbish," is what he said.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45And it's not rubbish at all. I'm sure he knew that. John Laurie.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- John Laurie, yeah.- "We're doomed!" That was John Laurie. 17.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Now, this last answer is a pointless answer.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54He appeared in 49 episodes.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58He played the verger, the verger in Dad's Army.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00And he was played by Edward Sinclair.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- Very, very well played if you got that.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Well, here comes your second question.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Sally and Rosie, we need you to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10So, best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:14 > 0:30:16The number 10, Richard.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19We're now going to show you five clues to facts about the number 10.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Can you give us the best answer, please?- Thank very much.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Let's reveal five clues, and here they come...
0:30:40 > 0:30:41I'll read those one last time.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Emma and Moose will go first.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Do you know any? I know the Perfect 10, the band.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- But I don't know any of the others. - Are you definite on that?- Yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06I know the top one. And I know the bottom one.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Do want to try the band?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Yeah, go with that. - OK, we know a couple.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15But we're going to try the band who released the single Perfect 10
0:31:15 > 0:31:16and say The Beautiful South.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19The Beautiful South, say Emma and Moose. The Beautiful South.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Now, Sally and Rosie, the board is all yours.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Talk us through it, if you can.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Well, we were going to pick the band, which would have been ideal.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I don't know the cube.
0:31:31 > 0:31:37I don't drive, so the town at the end of the A10 is no good.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Pretty poor.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Jane Austen, I could have a guess.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44But I'm not sure.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46And I think the unit of measurement,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48which is going to have to be our answer,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51to 10 millimetres is a centimetre.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52You're going to say a centimetre.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54We have The Beautiful South and we have a centimetre.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Emma and Moose have gone for The Beautiful South.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Let's see if that's right. Let's see how may people said it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03It's right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1123. Very well done indeed. 23 for The Beautiful South.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Sally and Rosie, meanwhile, have gone for a centimetre.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Let's see if that's right. Let's see how money people said it. A centimetre.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It's right, of course.
0:32:27 > 0:32:2851.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30APPLAUSE
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Which means very well done indeed, Emma and Moose.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35After only two questions, you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Yeah, a centimetre was always going to be a big scorer.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42You might have been better off having a risk at the Jane Austen one. What do you think you would have said?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Isaac Newton. - Oh, it's Charles Darwin.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Charles Darwin would have scored 10 points,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48so it would have been a very good answer.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Mathematical cube is simply 10 times 10 times 10, which is 1,000.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Would have scored you 29.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Do you know this one? The town at the northernmost...- No, I don't.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's a tough one. Well done at home if you said King's Lynn.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Terrific answer. 2 points there.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It's never going to get zero. In our 100, there's always
0:33:05 > 0:33:08going to be someone who lives somewhere near the end of the A10.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10But good answer.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16So, the pair leaving us the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Sally and Rosie.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Twice...
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Twice now you've been our low-scoring pair. I mean, no mean achievement.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24To do that once, you could think was a fluke. But twice...
0:33:24 > 0:33:26No, that wasn't an accident.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29But I'm afraid, in each case, the head-to-head hasn't served you well.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33So, we have to say goodbye. It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Sally and Rosie...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37APPLAUSE
0:33:37 > 0:33:40But for Moose and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Congratulations, Emma and Moose.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47You have seen off the competition
0:33:47 > 0:33:50and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Very well done. So, you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Well done. 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Yeah, I didn't expect that. - Very good indeed.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Now, Moose, I have to ask you this. What were you named after?
0:34:19 > 0:34:20I really don't know.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Essentially, Xander is asking the question, what on earth were your parents thinking?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27LAUGHTER
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Do you have brothers and sisters? - I do, yes.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Dare I ask what, er, what they're called?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Nothing nearly as exciting.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I've got a Ben, Alison, Lizzie.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Were you born in the wild in Canada?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45No, I wasn't. We had a son a year or so ago.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- I wasn't allowed to call him Moose, though.- No.- Restricted from that.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Not even as a middle name?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54No. But he did get Danger as a middle name.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- You are joking?- No.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Danger?- Yes. So, he's Reuben Ray Danger Baxter.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Now, hang on, hang on, hang on... Danger? Is that a good thing?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I was on gas and air. It was fine.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09LAUGHTER
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- You don't have to name them in that second.- Yeah.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15And it's just for the joke, "Danger is my middle name"?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- It's for the opportunity of the joke, I think.- Yeah, well, I think that's great.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Well, now, Emma and Moose, what would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:22 > 0:35:26I don't know. I'd quite like musicals or theatre.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29But then I would be on my own.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31So, I don't know, maybe geography
0:35:31 > 0:35:34or something that we could take a stab at together.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Not sport. Not sport.- Yeah, sport would be weak for us.- OK.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Well, as always, you get to choose from the four that we put up.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Let's see what those categories are.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Let's hope there's something in there that both of you like the look of.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56OK... What do you think?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00We were only born in '84, so I think '85 is probably out.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- Probably not sensible.- No.- And World War I, since you work for...
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I know, but I should probably know more about World War I, working for a veterans' charity, than I do.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- I think threequels is probably... - Threequels, yeah.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I presume a threequel is the third film in a series of three, so...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Yeah, I think we'll go for threequels.- OK, threequels.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20OK, very, very best of luck.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21I tell you, 1985, though,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24that's the year of the Moose, so perhaps you were...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But here are your threequels. You're quite right.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30It's about the third films in various franchises.
0:36:30 > 0:36:36We're looking for anybody, according to IMDb, who received an acting credit in Superman III, a 1983 film,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39the 1992 film Alien3,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42or the 2003 film Terminator III: Rise Of The Machines.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45So, any actor who, according to IMDb, received an acting credit
0:36:45 > 0:36:47in any of those three films.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Very, very best of luck.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56And all you need to win the jackpot is just for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yep.- We're ready.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Your time starts now. - Have you ever seen any of them?- No.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09So, I don't know any of them. But I would guess Superman III...
0:37:09 > 0:37:10We can guess the year, can't we?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Yeah, it was '80s, so I would say, I don't know, Paul Newman, maybe.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I don't know. Cast of Alien3...
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Sigourney Weaver is in the first one.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I think Terminator: Rise Of The Machines, that was more recent,
0:37:24 > 0:37:28so let's just guess somebody and say Shia LaBeouf,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31just because he was in other stuff.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32I would say...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36I don't know, what else? Can you just name any...?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Simon Pegg's an actor. - Simon Pegg is an actor.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- He probably wasn't in any of them. - OK.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45But Terminator III, that was recent. Think of girls, maybe.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- I'm thinking... I don't know. - We still have three guesses.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, so, let's say Paul Newman for the first one, just because.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- 10 seconds left.- Shia LaBeouf and...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Sigourney Weaver for cast of Alien3, in case she came back.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- A cameo.- A cameo. - OK, that's your time up.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Let's hear your three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08And if you say which category each one is.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- So, we're going to go for Superman III, Paul Newman.- Paul Newman.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Cast of Alien3, Sigourney Weaver.- Sigourney Weaver.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- And Terminator III, Shia LaBeouf. - Shia LaBeouf. OK.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Of those three, do you want to nominate one as your best shot?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Shia LaBeouf.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Shia LaBeouf we'll put last.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- And least likely?- Paul Newman. - Paul Newman we'll put first.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, and here they are. We have got...
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Well, best of luck. Three answers up on the board. We will discover.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43They might be genius answers. You have no idea.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47And one of them might win you that jackpot of two grand. Not bad.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49What would you do with that, if were you to win, Emma?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Well, I would like to go to Vegas,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54because I quite fancied doing Vegas when we got married,
0:38:54 > 0:38:59but we got married here instead, so that would be my plan.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Moose?- I'd quite like to build a treehouse. That would be quite good.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Emma, listen to the man. It's a much more reasonable thing to do with two grand.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09That is a reasonable thing, if you lived in a house.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12But when you live in a third-floor flat with no garden...
0:39:12 > 0:39:13LAUGHTER
0:39:13 > 0:39:16It can be quite high up the tree.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Oh, yes. Yes, Moose.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I'm beginning to see the... Vegas, I think.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24You could build a zip wire between the tree and the third floor.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26That would be amazing.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Maybe, what Moose was actually saying was he's going to build your next house in a tree,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- so you can just live there. - Possibly.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Yeah... Let's go Vegas.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38OK, Paul Newman was your first answer,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40the one you think was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Only one of these answers has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Let's see, Paul Newman, is it right? And, if it is, how may people said it for 2,000 quid?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Is it pointless?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Oh, not Paul Newman.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57So, your next answer was Sigourney Weaver.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Let's find out if that's right for Alien3 and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03If it's pointless, it wins you two grand.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It's right. So, there we are.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Your first answer, Paul Newman, was incorrect.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- But Sigourney Weaver scores you 60. - It was right. Well...
0:40:16 > 0:40:18APPLAUSE
0:40:18 > 0:40:20But not a pointless answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24So, everything is now riding on your third and final answer, which is Shia LaBeouf.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28In this case, we were looking for cast members of Terminator III: Rise Of The Machines.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Shia LaBeouf.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33For £2,000, is it pointless?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42APPLAUSE
0:40:42 > 0:40:46That was a tough category there for you. But you got one of them right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50But I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that vital pointless answer that we were looking for.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54That will roll over onto the next show.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58We've enjoyed having you on. Only one performance and you've done phenomenally well.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Very well done. You get a Pointless trophy to take home.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Yay, that's good. That's all we wanted.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06APPLAUSE
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well played, Emma and Moose.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Let's take you through the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Quite tough this one, I think.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16We've had a whole rash of wins recently, but not today.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19The cast of Superman III, you could've had Annette O'Toole. Larry Lamb was in it.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Larry Lamb, there's a guy who shouldn't call his son Moose.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- Oh, yeah.- Mark McClure.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Now, Sandra Dickinson, we know better from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, of course.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30She's in it as well.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33The ones that would've scored points, there's very few of them.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Christopher Reeve would've scored you 48. Richard Pryor at 11.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38You would've got 2 for Margot Kidder and Robert Vaughn.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41And 1 for Annie Ross and Pamela Stephenson, who's also in it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Any other name, if it's on IMDb, would have been a pointless answer. So, well done if you said it.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Alien3, lots of British actors in this.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Clive Mantle, he's been on Pointless Celebrities, hasn't he?
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Probably better known for Holby City. Danny Webb. Paul McGann is in it.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Ralph Brown, probably better known for Withnail And I,
0:41:57 > 0:41:58amongst other things.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Again, the only ones that scored...
0:42:00 > 0:42:03We've seen 60 for Sigourney Weaver already. 4 for Charles Dance.
0:42:03 > 0:42:062 for Brian Glover. And 1 for Pete Postlethwaite, who's in it.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Lance Henriksen and Charles S Dutton, they all scored 1.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Everyone else, a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Cast of Terminator III...
0:42:15 > 0:42:18David Andrews, plays General Brewster. You could've had Earl Boen.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20You could've had Mark Famiglietti or Moira Sinise.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23The scorers there. Arnie, unsurprisingly, 75.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Claire Danes would have scored you 5. Nick Stahl 2.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Kristanna Loken would have scored you 1.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31And everyone else was pointless. So, loads of pointless answers out there.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35But very tough to truffle out, I would say. Especially if you haven't seen the films.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38That makes it almost impossible, I would go so far as to say.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Emma and Moose.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47But it's been fabulous having you on the show. Thank you for playing. Emma and Moose, great contestants.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Very sadly, Emma and Moose didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE
