0:00:13 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hello, my name is Robby, this is my brother JD, and we're from Preston.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41..couple number two...
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Lucy, this is my dad, Charlie, and we're from West London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45..couple number three...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, my name is Fred and this is my mum, Cathie,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're from Mill Hill, North London.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52..and finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, my name is Jane, this is my best friend Hayley.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hayley's from South Wales and I'm from Dorset.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you
0:01:04 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:08 > 0:01:09the cleverest Dick
0:01:09 > 0:01:12since Richard Richards from Richards Close appeared on Mastermind
0:01:12 > 0:01:15answering questions on Richard III, Richmond Park and Richie Rich.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Hello, there.- Hello!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Now on our last show, for the first time ever,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- we had a pairing who were Richard and Alexander, didn't we?- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Which was great.- Yes. - And we sort of genuinely, secretly
0:01:31 > 0:01:33wanted them to do well, and they did -
0:01:33 > 0:01:34they got through to the jackpot round,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35and they won the money.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- So, literally, we've got a 100% strike rate.- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39That's nice, isn't it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And they beat Fred and Cathie in the head-to-head -
0:01:41 > 0:01:42it was a terrific head-to-head.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Very good - they're going to be tough to beat today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46And two other pairs coming back today -
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hayley and Jane, there, who got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Charlie and Lucy, we'll see a little bit more of you -
0:01:51 > 0:01:54last time they were on podium one, got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So, we've only got one new pair - just JD and Robby -
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and they seem to, rather unfairly, be on podium one.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Mm.- They seem up for it, though, I have to say.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- I think they do. - They seem bang up for it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I think they're going to be equal to the task.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, Richard and Alexander, as you'll have gathered,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10won the jackpot last time,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22OK, now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:22 > 0:02:24at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Your job is to make sure you are not that pair -
0:02:26 > 0:02:27simple as that.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Sport Finance(!) 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 > 0:02:42And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:02:52 > 0:02:56of the most valuable sports teams as they could.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Most valuable sports teams. Richard.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yes, in July 2013, Forbes Magazine published their list
0:03:01 > 0:03:03of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We're looking for any of the teams on that list of 50, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Just to give you a better idea, the teams come from football,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13from American football, from basketball, baseball,
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Formula One and ice hockey.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18So, those are the sports for our 50 most valuable teams in the world.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Who's on that list from July 2013?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Good question.- Mm. It's interesting, isn't it?- Mm.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Now then, JD.- Hello.- Welcome to the show.- Thank you very much.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28What do you do, JD?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I have two jobs - my Monday-to-Friday job, if you like,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35is an account manager for a very promotional product distributor,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38so a supplier of promotional items for branding purposes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And I also work behind a bar, as well, to keep myself out of trouble.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- So, the branding guys had better stump up a bit more!- Well, ideally.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- You won't have to work through the weekends. It's appalling.- Exactly.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I was about to say, what do you do in your spare time?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- You don't have any spare time. - Very little, unfortunately.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- A little bit of poker, a lot of reading.- OK.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55The odd art gallery.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58The odd art gallery. Good.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, JD, what's springing to mind?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think I'm going to play relatively safe, being the first person,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and say the LA Lakers.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08The LA Lakers, says JD.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The LA Lakers - let's see if that's right,
0:04:10 > 0:04:11let's see how many people said it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14It is right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20LA Lakers - taking you quite a long way down the column.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Look at that! Down it goes to 5 - very well done indeed.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Cracking start to the show, JD.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25APPLAUSE
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Great start, JD. Turns out you were equal and above the task, as well.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Terrific answer.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They're joint 31st on the list, worth a billion dollars, the LA Lakers.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Now, Charlie.- Alexander.- Charlie, we hardly saw you last time.- No!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Remind us what you do.- I work in a finance company in the city,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and my job is to try and raise money from people
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- to allow my partners to spend it. Private equity.- Right you are.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Private equity.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And we discovered last time
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- that you like hurling yourself down a mountain...- Yeah.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58..on a tray, doing the Cresta Run.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00And what other things do you get up to, Charlie?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Well, I am also treasurer of a cervical cancer trust.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05I've been that for ten years.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It's called Jo's Trust - it does great work with cervical cancer,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12which is an illness that, if it's caught early,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13is completely preventable.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Excellent. Good for you. Charlie, what are you going to go for?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I'm going to go for my favourite team -
0:05:20 > 0:05:23because when I go to America I like to watch them
0:05:23 > 0:05:26on the football field - on the American football field,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28because they have great cheerleaders,
0:05:28 > 0:05:29and that's the Dallas Cowboys.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32The Dallas Cowboys, says Charlie. Let's see if it's right,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35let's see how many of our 100 people said the Dallas Cowboys.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39It's right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, the LA Lakers scored 5, the Dallas Cowboys...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46score 10! Very well done.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48APPLAUSE
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Yeah, it's actually the 5th most valuable sports team in the world,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Dallas Cowboys, owned by an oil and gas billionaire.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Thank you. Now, Fred... - Hello.- Welcome back.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Head-to-head.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02- Very strong performance.- Did OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You did all right - nothing wrong with that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Some great answers from you - particularly in Round One, I think.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Yeah.- We had a particularly lovely low score.- Yeah, Rick Santorum.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11That's right! Rick Santorum.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Very, very well done there. Remind us what you do, Fred.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- I'm a travel consultant. - That is right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Which is different to a travel agent.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Does that mean you get to travel around a lot yourself?- I do, yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Just came back from Vietnam.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23That's the difference -
0:06:23 > 0:06:25a travel agent just says, "Well, this looks nice."
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Let's do it, yeah! - Looks in the magazine.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Travel consultant says, "Well, I can tell you, this was very nice."
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Exactly.- Very good.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, so, Fred, what are you going to go for?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK, well, two good answers so far.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Both American, so I'm going to stick with that,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40and I'm going to go Miami Dolphins.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Miami Dolphins, says Fred.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Well, so far we've been in convenient multiples of 5.
0:06:49 > 0:06:515 our low score, 10 our high.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Where will the Miami Dolphins finish up?
0:06:53 > 0:06:558! Right in the middle.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57APPLAUSE
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well done, Fred.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Yeah, another team worth over a billion dollars.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They were originally set up, the original sponsors were dolphins.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Really?- Yeah, a group of very, very wealthy dolphins.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Made their money, they were originally at SeaWorld,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16so they made an awful lot of money, and they invested some of that money
0:07:16 > 0:07:18in American football.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- It happens with a lot of the American football team.- Does it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I won't go into some of them now, but if they come up, I will.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26We have a croquet team sponsored by ants.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Yes, Northants.- Yes, yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Er, but, yeah, so, they sold it to a property magnate
0:07:32 > 0:07:34for about, like, 300,000,000 or something.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36They spent all the money on krill.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43All of it - just absolutely just had an absolute...blow out.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Wow, that must have been fun. - I think it was a lot of fun.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49There was certainly a lot of high-pitched noises
0:07:49 > 0:07:52coming from the beach just off Miami as they has that party.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- I don't think the krill enjoyed it, but...- No.- There it is.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- That's the world of krill, isn't it?- Well said.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59It's nice - it's good for dolphins to get out.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02The had a dolphin player, once, in the late '70s.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Yeah?- Did not last long.- No.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Did not last long.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Thanks, Richard. Jane, Jane... - Hello.- Welcome back.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So, Jane, remind us about yourself.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17I'm a golf club manager and I also play a lot of golf, as well.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- But before that...- Um...engineer. You were an engineer. Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And you were sort of - you were designing rockets.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26More satellite communications, but...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- But still, they had to get up there somehow.- Absolutely, yep.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And how many years did you do that for?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Er, about 14 years.- Wow. - Yeah, a long time.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- A long time.- Yeah. I just fancied a change, really.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42And a perfect change. Perfect change. What about sports teams?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- How are you feeling about that, Jane?- Um...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Right, well, one of my favourite actors, John Cusack,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52supports this team, so I'm hoping it's in the top 50,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and it's the Philadelphia Bears.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- The Philadelphia Bears. - I hope I've got that right.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59OK, well, let's see.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01John Cusack - he strikes you as someone
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- who would only support someone in the top 50, er...?- Possibly!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08We'll see. The Philadelphia Bears - let's hope it's a good answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Let's see how many people said it, if it's right.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, I'm sorry, Jane.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm sorry - that's an incorrect answer.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yeah, sorry. I'll give all the correct answers
0:09:21 > 0:09:23at the end of the pass.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Let's take a look at those scores, as they stand.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30JD, well done, the lowest score of the pass.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Good for you. Nice score of 5.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Then up to 8, where we find Fred and Cathie,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35up to 10, where we find Charlie and Lucy,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and then, I'm afraid, it's a big hike up to 100,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40where we find Jane and Hayley.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, Hayley, we will need a low score from you.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Let's hope it's low enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46We're going to come back down the line, now.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54So, remember, we're looking for any team on the Forbes list
0:09:54 > 0:09:57of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Now, Hayley... Remind us what you do, Hayley.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- I work with my husband in our family business.- In Raglan.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05- In Raglan - that's right.- Indeed.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- So, Hayley, there you are - high-scorers, on 100.- OK.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Um, I can't think of anything particularly clever,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15so I'm hoping to play a little bit safe, I hope,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17with the New York Giants.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19The New York Giants, says Hayley.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it -
0:10:22 > 0:10:24no red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's right. The New York Giants.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Well, our lowest score was 5, from the first pass...
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- and you equal that! - APPLAUSE
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's exactly what we needed from you, Hayley.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39105 is your total.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I wonder if that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Very good answer. They're also in the top ten American football teams.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Their co-owner, Steve Tisch,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49is the only man to have a Super Bowl ring and an Oscar.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50What was his Oscar for?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52He was one of the producers of Forrest Gump.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57There you go. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Cathie, welcome back.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Thank you.- We discovered last time, a solicitor.- That's right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And your interests outside the law?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well, I love travelling.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I don't mean outside the law - don't get me wrong!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Sorry, I mean... I'm sure your interests are mostly above board.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I love travel, I love cooking - particularly at the weekends,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- when I've got a bit of time. - Excellent.- I love entertaining.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Excellent. I bet Cathie entertains well. It's a fun party to go to.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Yeah. Whether inside or outside the law.- Exactly.- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I think her outside the law parties -
0:11:26 > 0:11:27even better than the inside ones.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I imagine if you get an invitation to Cathie's house, you go,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- "Yes, we can come." - Yeah. OK, now, Cathie...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Now, this isn't a good one for me.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41I'm going to hopefully play it safe and play Barcelona.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Barcelona says Cathie. Fred is nodding comfortably, there, I think.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's see if it's right. If you can get below that red line,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Cathie, you're through to Round Two.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It's right and you are through. Very well done indeed.
0:11:57 > 0:11:5826.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00APPLAUSE
0:12:00 > 0:12:0134, your total.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Number three on the list, Cathie.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Yeah, very good answer - worth over 2.5 billion, Barcelona.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Thank you very much indeed. Now, Lucy.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Hiya.- Lucy, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Now, last time we had a high-scoring answer
0:12:16 > 0:12:18from you in the first round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Yeah - Ricky Gervais.- Yes.- Too high.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Yes...and you worked on Cemetery Junction.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- I know!- What was your job there?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- Just running?- I was just...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yeah, basically a runner, just doing work experience.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- And was everyone nice? Were they nice to you?- So nice!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It was a really fun set.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Any scenes that Ricky Gervais would be in
0:12:34 > 0:12:37would take a long time to film cos he just couldn't stop laughing.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Now, Lucy, you basically have to get this right -
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I mean, 94 or less sees you through.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm going to play what I think is safe
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and I'm going to say the Boston Red Sox.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The Boston Red Sox, OK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50There's your red line -
0:12:50 > 0:12:51nice and high. Get below that
0:12:51 > 0:12:54with the Boston Red Sox, you are in Round Two.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00It's right and you're through.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Very well done indeed.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Look at that! 14.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08APPLAUSE
0:13:08 > 0:13:0924, your total -
0:13:09 > 0:13:12our lowest score so far.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Another very good answer.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah, the baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, 11th on the list.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17And their ground, Fenway Park,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21has just been added to the US National Register of Historic Places.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- That's nice, isn't it? - That is nice.- As it should be.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Now, Robby, welcome.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Great to have you here. Robby, what do you do?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I'm a journalism student. I've got a big passion for all things newsy.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Robby would be very good -
0:13:36 > 0:13:38VERY good - in the newsroom, don't you think?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Robby?- Robby?- Yeah.- Well, I might say yes or no after his answer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thus far, he's talking a good game.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yeah. He strikes me as eager...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- He certainly seems eager.- Yeah.- You need a bit of everything, don't you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52But, yes, thus far, I'm with you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55OK, and outside of journalism, what do get up to?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Outside of journalism, I work in a department store.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00So, you're working at weekends as well?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Busy man.- You just never stop!- No.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Robby and JD - Pointless is probably the first time
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- you've clapped eyes on each other for years!- It's been some time.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09OK, Robby, what are you going to go for?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13You're on 5. You have to score 99 or less. 99 or less.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14OK, I'm going to go for an answer
0:14:14 > 0:14:16that's probably not going to set the world on fire,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18but I'm going to say Real Madrid.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Real Madrid, says Robby.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21There's your red line.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24If you can get below that, you're in the next round.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Let's see how many people said Real Madrid.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's right and you're through. Well done.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- 38. - APPLAUSE
0:14:37 > 0:14:3938 takes your total up to 43.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Very well done.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Very well-played, Robby, and to enhance your news credentials,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45where do you think Real Madrid would be on that list?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Ooh...up there.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48If I asked you for a number?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- One.- Number one! Absolutely right. - Look at that!- Very well done.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Yeah, worth 3.3 billion. Owned by the fans, as well, Real Madrid.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Now, lots of pointless answers, all in American football and baseball.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Now, let's deal with the Philadelphia Bears -
0:15:00 > 0:15:03the Chicago Bears, I think, is John Cusack's team,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and that would have scored you 4 points -
0:15:06 > 0:15:07- would have been a terrific answer. - Oh...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10You also could have had the Philadelphia Eagles,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12an American football team, or the Philadelphia Phillies,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15a baseball team, and they were both pointless answers.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18So, between Philadelphia and bears, there was all sorts of good answers -
0:15:18 > 0:15:20but put them together and suddenly it's chaos.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers -
0:15:23 > 0:15:24there's lots of them.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29..all American football teams.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Chicago Cubs, they're baseball -
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies, the only baseball teams
0:15:36 > 0:15:37who are on the pointless list.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs, American football.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43As are...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You also could have had, pointless answers
0:15:48 > 0:15:52with Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Houston Texans, the Minnesota Vikings,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and the Tennessee Titans - all of those were pointless answers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Lots of English football clubs very, very high up the list.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07McLaren would have scored you 29, Ferrari 27.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Chelsea would have scored you 32,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Real Madrid, 38, as we've just seen,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18and way up in the lead,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21they're actually the second most valuable sports franchise
0:16:21 > 0:16:24in the year looked at by Forbes, and score you 75 points.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Man United. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:16:29 > 0:16:31with our high score of 105, it's Hayley and Jane. I'm so sorry.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Round Two last time - I'm afraid it's Round One this time.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35It's been great having you on the show.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thanks so much for playing - Hayley and Jane.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And so three pairs remain.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:16:52 > 0:16:55in time for our head-to-head round. Charlie and Lucy, well done.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56You've made it to Round Two.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- You've done twice as well as you did last time.- Yeah!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Events. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09who's going to go second?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22The Blair Years. Richard.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24On each board, we're going to give you six clues to events
0:17:24 > 0:17:27that happened while Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Just need to give us the most obscure answer. Good luck.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Thanks very much. Let's reveal our six clues on the first board
0:17:34 > 0:17:35and here they are.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- JD.- Hello.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Not a fantastic board for me.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think I'm going to have a stab at the...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41penultimate one, the artist.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll say Jackson Pollock.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Jackson Pollock says JD. Jackson Pollock.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Let's find out if that's right
0:18:48 > 0:18:51and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jackson Pollock.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It's right.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Good answer.
0:19:01 > 0:19:022.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04APPLAUSE
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Very well done indeed, JD. 2.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Good work from JD, again. It was worth about £73 million at the time.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It was the most expensive painting ever sold when it was sold.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It was one of his first drip paintings.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Thanks, Richard. Now, Lucy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yeah... It's not great, either.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I think I know two of them and one of them's a real risk, though,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29cos I'm really not sure about it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So, I think I should go for the other one
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and hope that the title of the long-running reality TV show
0:19:34 > 0:19:35is Big Brother.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Big Brother, says Lucy - let's see if that's right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Let's see how many of our 100 said Big Brother.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43It's right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:4860 for Big Brother.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49APPLAUSE
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Yeah, it launched in the UK in 2000
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and that final watched by more than 10 million people.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Now, Cathie, you're the last person to have this board,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00so if you want to go through it
0:20:00 > 0:20:02and fill in any of the blanks you can, do.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Um, well, I don't know many of them, I'll be honest.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I think I'm going to play it safe.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I THINK safe - it might well be wrong, Alexander!
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I think I know another one,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16but I'm going to actually say the person who became
0:20:16 > 0:20:18the England national football team manager
0:20:18 > 0:20:20as Sven van...von Eriksson.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Sven von Eriksson.- Yes. - Sven von Eriksson say Cathie.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Let's see if that's right,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Oh, I'm sorry, Cathie. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37scoring you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Sorry, Cathie, have to have the exact name because, you know,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- being a solicitor and all. It's Sven Goran Eriksson, I'm afraid.- Oh.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45There's no "von" in it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Would have scored 33 points,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48would have been a very good answer.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Now, the first person to win the jackpot on...- I should know that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- ..Millionaire - you see, all Eggheads fans will know it.- Oh, Judith Keppel.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Judith Keppel. Absolutely. Still on our screens now. 12 points for that.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The King of the World was James Cameron...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05..obviously directed Titanic -
0:21:05 > 0:21:06he would have scored 10.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10And England beat Australia in the Rugby World Cup final - 21 points.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So, Jackson Pollock the best answer on the board, JD.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Thanks very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through the round -
0:21:16 > 0:21:19let's take a look at those scores. 2 for JD and Robby - well done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Well-played, JD. Then up to 60, where we find Lucy and Charlie.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Would be quite a risky score,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27but Cathie threw you a lifeline, there, with her 100.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So, Fred, yes, you are out at the top, there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We need a low score from you, Fred.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Best of luck with that when we come back down the line.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41OK, let's put six more events from the Blair years up on the board -
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and here they come. We have got...
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I'll read those one last time.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Fred, over to you.- Right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I know a few of them,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40but I've got to get a good one here, haven't I?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41So, um...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44The top one I'd be guessing at, so I'm not going to go for that.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So, I'm going to have to go former Deputy Prime Minister,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48is John Prescott.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49John Prescott, says Fred.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54No red line as you're the highest scorers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58It's right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- 51. - APPLAUSE
0:23:04 > 0:23:06151 your total.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yeah, you've given Charlie a job to do, there, Fred.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10If someone throws an egg at you -
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I don't condone violence in any way whatsoever,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- but I think it's a natural reaction. - Yeah.- I would say.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Now, Charlie,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20you have to score 90 or less to be through to the head-to-head.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25I think I'm going to go for the tennis player
0:23:25 > 0:23:27named BBC Sports Personality of the Year,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32because he came to the final of the American Open that year,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34was Greg Rusedski.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Greg Rusedski, says Charlie. There's your red line.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40If you can get below this wit Greg Rusedski,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41you are in the head-to-head.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Let's see how many people said that, if it's right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It is right and you're through. Well done, Charlie.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Very well done - look at that! 2.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56APPLAUSE
0:23:56 > 0:23:5762, your total.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Great answer, Charlie. As you say, he won it in the year
0:24:01 > 0:24:03when he got through to the US Open final.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06He shares a birthday with Tim Henman.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I'm not saying he shares a birthday party,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10but he shares a birthday with him.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Thanks very much indeed. Now, Robby, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- This is good.- It's good.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16This board is all yours.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I'll have a guess at a few,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20but there's only one that I know on the board.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23The top one, Felipe Calderon, sounds a bit Spanish.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'm tempted to say Spain.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30The 11th of March, which radio station could that be?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Could be anything. I'd say 1Xtra. Again, that's a guess.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37I don't know the boy band - or which group beat the boy band.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But I'm pretty sure on the Pierce Brosnan film,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42his last as James Bond,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Die Another Day.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Die Another Day, says Robby.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51No red line for you cos you're already through.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54It is right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:0118.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Takes your total up to 20. Well done.- Yeah, well-played.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I do think Robby WOULD be a good news journalist
0:25:07 > 0:25:10because he sort of went through the board, there, in such a manner,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12very calm manner, and it was only at the end he realised
0:25:12 > 0:25:14he hadn't actually given any answers at all.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18It was quite impressive - but you sounded like you had.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Cos Felipe Calderon is the president of Mexico.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Not Spain. So, 3 points for that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The 11th of March, it was 6 Music that went on air -
0:25:28 > 0:25:32good answer, though, if you got that. 21 points.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34And the group that beat One True Voice...
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Well, One True Voice were the other part of Pop Stars - The Rivals
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- to Girls Aloud.- Girls Aloud.- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And Girls Aloud the answer, of course. 27 points for that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49the pair who are heading home with their high score of 151,
0:25:49 > 0:25:50head-to-headers last time -
0:25:50 > 0:25:53everyone's taken a step back from what they did last time,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56apart from Charlie and Lucy, who go through to the head-to-head.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Fred and Cathie, we have to say goodbye to you -
0:25:58 > 0:26:00far too soon, but thanks very much for playing.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Great contestants, Fred and Cathie. - Thank you.- Thanks for having us.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05APPLAUSE
0:26:05 > 0:26:09But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Congratulations, JD and Robby, Charlie and Lucy -
0:26:15 > 0:26:18you're now one step closer to the final,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23which currently still stands at £1,000.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, Charlie and Lucy, what an improvement.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It was Round One last time and here you are in the head-to-head.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It always makes a difference, I think,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31once you reach the threshold of the head-to-head,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- because you can now chat.- Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You can confer - it takes all the pressure off.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It takes SOME of the pressure off.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39JD and Robby, well done.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41JD, you've only scored, on your own,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44you've only scored 7 points in the show so far today.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Just fallen well.- Very, very well done indeed. Extremely impressive.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I think this might be close.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00OK, here comes you first question and it concerns...
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- World's Tallest Buildings. Richard. - We're going to show you images
0:27:06 > 0:27:08of five of the tallest buildings in the world.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12We need you to tell us the name of the cities in which each is located.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13OK, thanks very much.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Let's reveal our five tall buildings - and here they come.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17We have got...
0:27:40 > 0:27:43There we are. Five tall buildings - where are they?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46JD and Robby, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's tricky because there are some obvious ones on there,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and some less obvious ones, as there tends to be.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57I'm not 100%, but...C as...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I think it's the Petras Tower in Kuala Lumpur.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Kuala Lumpur.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Kuala Lumpur say JD and Robby.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Now, Charlie and Lucy, the board's all yours.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Do you want to talk us through it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I think that's a very good answer.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, yeah, for C.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15I think A is New York,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- I think E is - isn't that...? - It's the Shard!
0:28:18 > 0:28:19It's the Shard, it's in London.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22D could be Dubai.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27B - I think we go for a guess on B. I think B could be Toronto.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28So, we'll go for B, Toronto.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30B, Toronto.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33So JD and Robby have said Kuala Lumpur for C.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said KL.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40It's right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:4716.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48APPLAUSE
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Good answer.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Now, Charlie and Lucy have said that B is Toronto.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58let's see how many people said Toronto.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Ooh, I'm afraid not Toronto,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05which means, JD and Robby, very well done.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Yeah, not Toronto. You judged correctly, though,
0:29:09 > 0:29:10you had to go for B,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13because all the others would have been beaten by Kuala Lumpur.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16But B is actually the Mercury City building in Moscow.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18It's a pointless answer as well.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Very well done if you said that at home.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I thought it could be Russian.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23A is New York, as you said.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29Surprisingly low score, actually - would have scored you 45 points.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31D is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai....
0:29:32 > 0:29:35..and would have scored you 21.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37And another low score for the Shard in London,
0:29:37 > 0:29:41would have scored you 51 points.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45So, here comes your second question.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Charlie and Lucy, you get to answer it first,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:54 > 0:29:56The Bestselling books of 2013. Richard.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Yeah, we're going to show you five of the top 50 bestselling books
0:29:59 > 0:30:02of 2013 in the UK. We're just going to give you their initials.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Can you tell us what the books are, please?
0:30:04 > 0:30:05OK, thanks very much.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Let's reveal the initials of the five bestsellers
0:30:07 > 0:30:08and here they are.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- Charlie and Lucy, you will go first. - Um...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Well, we know the very obvious one.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And then I think I know the Miranda Hart one,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58but I think I'm going to go for Philippa Gregory -
0:30:58 > 0:31:00The Kingmaker's Daughter.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01- The Kingmaker's Daughter.- Yeah.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04The Kingmaker's Daughter, say Charlie and Lucy. OK.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Now, JD and Robby, talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Um, The Hobbit for the Tolkien book.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We've both yet to read it,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14but we're leaning towards the Miranda Hart one as well,
0:31:14 > 0:31:18which I think we're going to go for Is It Just Me?
0:31:18 > 0:31:19OK, so, Is It Just Me?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21So, we have The Kingmaker's Daughter from Charlie and Lucy.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27It's right.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Very well done - 7.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35APPLAUSE
0:31:37 > 0:31:407 for The Kingmaker's Daughter. Good answer.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Now, JD and Robby have gone for Is It Just Me?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Miranda Hart. Is It Just Me? Let's see if it's right and,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50It's right.
0:31:54 > 0:31:5629.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57APPLAUSE
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Very well done, Charlie and Lucy - that's exactly what you needed.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Yeah, The Kingmaker's Daughter's the best answer on the board -
0:32:05 > 0:32:06nothing you could've done against that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10The top one, Helen Fielding, it's Bridget Jones and Mad About The Boy.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1318 points for that.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15The Hobbit would have scored you...
0:32:15 > 0:32:1883 points.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21And David Walliams is Demon Dentist,
0:32:21 > 0:32:22which would have scored you 11.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25He sold over a million copies of his children's books in the UK alone.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Been translated into 25 languages.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29They ARE brilliant.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32So, here comes your third question.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43People With Months In Their Names. Richard.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Yep, we'll give you five clues to people,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47all of whom have months in their names.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Whoever gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:48 > 0:32:50is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Let's reveal our five clues and here they come. We have got...
0:33:10 > 0:33:11I'll read those one last time.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28JD and Robby, it's over to you.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32There's only one we know and that's the American actress
0:33:32 > 0:33:34best known for playing Betty Draper in Mad Men.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I believe that is January Jones.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41January Jones, say JD and Robby. January Jones.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Charlie and Lucy, talk us through the board.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44SHE SIGHS
0:33:44 > 0:33:48I'm an avid fan of Grey's Anatomy and it's blanked.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Well, the American novelist
0:33:51 > 0:33:55best-known as the author of Little Women...
0:33:55 > 0:33:57HE SIGHS
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Um...- Oh, sorry, yeah! Grey's Anatomy...- OK.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04..the character played by Sarah Drew is April...April Kepner.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- April Kepner.- Yeah.- April Kepner.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10So we have January Jones and we have April Kepner.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13JD and Robby went for January Jones for the actress playing Betty Draper.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Let's see if that's right and,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22It's right.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Very well done indeed. 10. Good score.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Charlie and Lucy, meanwhile, have gone for April Kepner,
0:34:35 > 0:34:39the character played by Sarah Drew in medical drama Grey's Anatomy.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45April Kepner is right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Will it beat 10, though...?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Yes, it will - look at that!
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Very well done indeed. 3 for April Kepner.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55APPLAUSE
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Good answer, Lucy.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Very well done. After three questions,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Charlie and Lucy are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Yeah, inspiration just in the nick of time, there, Lucy.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Very well done. It's the best answer on the board again.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That's two questions in a row you've done it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12The rest of the board - the Swedish writer is August Strindberg.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15The British actress who plays Dot Cotton is...
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- June Brown. - ..June Brown, yeah - 40 points.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19And the American novelist that your were struggling to remember
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- is Louisa May Alcott.- Oh!- Of course.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2430 points.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31I'm afraid, JD and Robby. What a strong performance, though,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33the whole way through the show. Fabulous.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35I mean, scarcely put a foot wrong
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and some great low-scoring in this last round, as well -
0:35:38 > 0:35:3916, 29 and 10.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42You were just up against Charlie and Lucy, who just pipped you, there.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Actually, in the nick of time, as Richard says.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Great news for us, though - we get to see you again next time.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Otherwise it would all have been over in one show
0:35:49 > 0:35:51and that would have been one show too few.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53But thanks very much, we look forward to that.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- JD and Robby.- Thank you.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57APPLAUSE
0:35:57 > 0:36:00But, for Charlie and Lucy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Congratulations, Charlie and Lucy,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08you fought off all of the competition
0:36:08 > 0:36:10and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:18 > 0:36:21and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24There it is. Well, last time it was Round One.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25- Yeah!- What's happened?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Well, we got a bit luckier in the categories this time. Yeah.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Well, that was just in the nick of time.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33We were going to have to get an answer and April Kepner -
0:36:33 > 0:36:36thank goodness. What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Anything in particular? You know what they're like,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40they're always quite tough.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Politics.- Er...- Geography. - For me, film or TV.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47OK, let's hope there's something up there that you like the look of.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Four from you to choose from and here's today's selection.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Geography of Borders, I think.- Yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Geography of Borders. - Geography of Borders it is. Richard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04OK, good luck. There's plenty of pointless answers here.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07We're looking for any of the following three things.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08We're looking for...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18As always, by "country",
0:37:18 > 0:37:21we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Or, we're looking for...
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Again, I mean the same by "country".
0:37:28 > 0:37:30So the capitals of US states that border Canada,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32the capitals of countries that border Russia,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34or the capitals of African countries
0:37:34 > 0:37:36which have borders with six or more other countries.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Very best of luck.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:40 > 0:37:41to come up with three answers
0:37:41 > 0:37:44and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those
0:37:44 > 0:37:46answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Yeah.- Ready.- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There you are.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Your time starts now.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Capitals of US states that border Canada -
0:37:54 > 0:37:56just going from east to west, there's Maine -
0:37:56 > 0:37:59the capital of Maine is the same as the golf course, it's Augusta.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01The capital of North Dakota is Bismarck.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Those are both pretty obscure.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- Bismarck... - I don't know other ones.- OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06So, Bismarck and Augusta for those two.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Capitals of African countries with six or more borders, um...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- I think Zambia has six or more borders.- Is that Lusaka?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Lusaka, but I'm not sure it'll be pointless.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Our old friend, Central African Republic,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- which I think the capital of which is Bamako.- Yeah.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21But whether that's pointless,
0:38:21 > 0:38:24because it's got its own notoriety from all the questions here.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I think that's quite a good one.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I think Bamako's not a bad one to put up there.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Or we could go - I'm sure Southern Sudan borders six countries...- Yeah.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- ..and we could go with Juba.- Juba.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Cos it's a relatively new one, go with Juba on that one.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41So, shall we go with Juba, Augusta... Juba, Bismarck, Augusta?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Yeah, you don't want to do the...other...the...? Central...
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Bamako? No.- No? - Let's go with those three.- OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK, your minute is up now. Let's have your three answers -
0:38:53 > 0:38:55and if you could say which category you're answering.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57We're answering two from the category of US states
0:38:57 > 0:39:00that border Canada - that's Augusta, the capital of Maine,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02and Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05And then a capital of an African country which has borders
0:39:05 > 0:39:07with six or more countries
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- I think we'll go for Central African Republic for Bamako.- Bamako.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- B-A-M-A-K-O.- Bamako.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14OK, now, of those three,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16what is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I think probably Augusta.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19OK, Augusta goes last.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- The least likely?- Bismarck first. - Bismarck we'll put first.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24- And then Bamako.- Bamako.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:27 > 0:39:28and here they are.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33We've got Bismarck, Bamako and Augusta.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Well, very best of luck. Three very good answers up there on the board.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Let's hope at least one of those wins that jackpot.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41What would you do with it? It's 1,000 quid.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- Um, if we're splitting it, I would probably...- We're splitting it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Yeah!- What do you mean, "IF we're splitting it?!"
0:39:48 > 0:39:49LAUGHTER
0:39:49 > 0:39:51I'll probably just be very boring
0:39:51 > 0:39:54and put it towards paying off my student loan.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Well, that's good. - Sensible.- Sensible thing to do.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Charlie, how about you? - I will give it to Jo's Trust.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Three good answers, I say. Quite right.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03APPLAUSE
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Absolutely right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Well, Bismarck, your least confident shot at the pointless answer -
0:40:11 > 0:40:14let's have a look at. In this case, we were looking for capitals
0:40:14 > 0:40:15of US states that border Canada.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Let's see if that's right, let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20If it's both of those things, you'll win £1,000.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Let's see how many people said Bismarck.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25It's right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29OK, so if Bismarck goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Down it goes, through the 20s and the teens...
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Into single figures - down it goes, still going down -
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- down it goes! You've done it! - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Very well done indeed.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Thank you very much!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Whoo! I can't believe it!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50In one. Congratulations.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Bismarck was a pointless answer,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Very well done indeed, Charlie and Lucy.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59- I can't believe it. - APPLAUSE
0:41:01 > 0:41:04You know what? What a perfect example of father-daughter teamwork, as well,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06cos that was a tough head-to-head,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08and it was right at the last second that Lucy said April Kepner,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11and if she hadn't said it, you wouldn't be in this final -
0:41:11 > 0:41:12and it's been a great final for you.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Now, Bamako - that's not the capital of the Central African Republic.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18The capital of the Central African Republic is Bangui.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Oh, right.- Bangui would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Bamako is the capital of Mali - but it's still a pointless answer,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26so you'd have got away with it. LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:30And Augusta is the capital of Maine - it's your third pointless answer.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Three in a row. Very well done.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:36THEY LAUGH
0:41:37 > 0:41:40How about that? Let's take a look at some other capitals.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42This is a great category if you like your geography.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45The other capitals you could have had - there's Bismarck, North Dakota,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Boise, Idaho, you could have had.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Juneau, Alaska, of course - you didn't think of that -
0:41:49 > 0:41:51and Olympia, which is Washington.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53You also could have had Columbus, Ohio,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Concord, New Hampshire, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Lansing, Michigan, Montpelier, Vermont
0:41:59 > 0:42:00and Saint Paul, Minnesota,
0:42:00 > 0:42:02so loads of pointless answers there.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Unlike this next category,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06the capitals of countries that border Russia -
0:42:06 > 0:42:07there's only one, which is Pyongyang.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10North Korea and Russia have got about 17km of border,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13and Pyongyang the only pointless answer there.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15And lots of answers, as well, lots of pointless answers,
0:42:15 > 0:42:16for this other category.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18You could have had Conakry, which is Guinea,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20you could have had Khartoum, Sudan,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Yaounde, which is Cameroon.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26You also could have had Juba, which was South Sudan,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28which was another you were going to go for.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You could have had Bloemfontein, South Africa,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Dodoma in Tanzania,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Maputo in Mozambique,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Niamey in Niger and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso -
0:42:38 > 0:42:39my favourite capital of all.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Would have been lovely to win the money on that.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Well done if you got some of those at home
0:42:43 > 0:42:45and terrific in the studio - three pointless answers.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- APPLAUSE - Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Well, thanks once again to our winning pair, Charlie and Lucy,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Very well done indeed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Join us next time,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
