0:00:15 > 0:00:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I'm Aoife, this is my dad Eoin,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and we're from London by way of Ireland.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm Mikkaila and this is my best friend Jen
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and we live together in South East London.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm Robby, This is my brother JD, and we're from Preston.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm Sue and this is my friend Karen and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:02 > 0:01:04throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- the man for whom the term know-it-all is a compliment. - LAUGHTER
0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hi, everybody. CHEERING
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- What a finish to the show we saw last time.- I know.- Goodness me.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22We had JD and Robby in the head-to-head
0:01:22 > 0:01:24against Charlie and Lucy. Three pointless answers,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and in their 60 seconds, three or four more, as well,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29they said, during the 60 seconds, didn't they?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Yeah. - It was a really great performance.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Great to have JD and Robby back, though.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Sometimes you sense that contestants
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- are going to be trouble, troublemakers.- Yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Usually people who are well-behaved, don't you think?- Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, just look on that podium four,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43look at Sue and Karen. You just... LAUGHTER
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You can just sense sometimes, can't you?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47You can sense.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Round One, Round One today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh, I literally...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I cannot wait for your role in Round One.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- I'm so excited.- Really?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You're going to have such a terrible time in Round One.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Oh, I can't wait. - LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Thanks very much, indeed.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, Charlie and Lucy, as you've gathered, won the jackpot last time,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18OK, just remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:18 > 0:02:21at the end of each round will be eliminated. That's it.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Best of luck. Our first category today is...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- So far, so good. - Yeah, fine so far, right?- Travel.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Very happy with Travel.- No problem.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first, who is going
0:02:34 > 0:02:37to go second? And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:47 > 0:02:48European railway stations, Richard.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Nothing so hard about that, is there?- No, it's fine.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We're about to show you two boards of seven railway stations
0:02:54 > 0:02:58from around Europe, but all written in their native languages.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You need to tell us the country in which
0:03:00 > 0:03:01each of these is located, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04So, there's going to be 14 railway stations to get in all.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I'll tell you now, some of them are quite hard to pronounce.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Very best of luck at home. Very best of luck to all our contestants.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Very best of luck to you, Xander.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Thank you very much, indeed.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14OK, so we're looking for the countries in which
0:03:14 > 0:03:16you'll find these railway stations,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and here's our first board of seven...
0:03:20 > 0:03:21We've got...
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- HE STRUGGLES WITH PRONUNCIATION - Dworzec Warszawa Centralna,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Helsingin Paarautatiseasema... - LAUGHTER
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- ..Bucuresti Gara de Nord... - There you go.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41..and...
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Sidirodromikos Stathmos Athinon. - LAUGHTER
0:03:45 > 0:03:49CHEERING
0:03:49 > 0:03:51ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yeah, with apologies to anyone from those countries.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- I'll read them one last time. OK... - LAUGHTER
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- There we are. Now, Aoife, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- From London, via Ireland.- Yes. - How long have you been in London?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I've been in London permanently for three years, now.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24And what do you do?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I work in a media agency.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28And what are your interests, Aoife?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Well, I'm involved in amateur dramatics,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and I also like languages.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Excellent.- Yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- OK, now, Aoife, talking of liking languages...- Mm-hmm.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43..how are you feeling about this board?
0:04:43 > 0:04:50Erm, I think I could make a guess at all or most of them,
0:04:50 > 0:04:56but I'm trying to work out what is safe but hopefully low-scoring,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59so I'm going to take a bit of a punt
0:04:59 > 0:05:04and I'm going to go for Bratislava Hlavna Stanica.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Mm-hmm.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Erm, and I'm going to say Slovakia.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Slovakia, says Aoife.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's see if that's right for Bratislava, Slovakia,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and let's see how many people said it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It is right. Very well done indeed.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Down it goes. 20. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Well played, Aoife.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well played, Aoife, great start on that first podium.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Bratislava, of course, the capital of Slovakia.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39"Lav" playing quite a big part in the Bratislavan trains, there.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Yes, two lavs, which is quite handy on a train, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- LAUGHTER - Yeah, certainly.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think I prefer the lav in Hlavna,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49cos it takes up more of that word.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Proportionately, probably bigger, a bit more space.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Well, no, but the other one is in first class.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57The lav in Bratislava is the loo in first class, which has,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00as you know, someone like a piper,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02and you know, people with cologne and what have you,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- and the other, Hlavna...- A piper?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah, a piper, so when you walk in,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08they go, "Doo-doo-doo!" LAUGHTER
0:06:08 > 0:06:09That is not... Oh,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- they do things so well in Slovakia, don't they?- Yes, they do.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Yeah, they really do.- There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Now, Jen, welcome to the show. Lovely to have you here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- What you do, Jen?- I'm a drama and theatre student.- Excellent.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Where are you studying that? - At Goldsmiths in South East London.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That is good. Have you got any particular areas
0:06:25 > 0:06:27you want to specialise in?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I enjoy being a clown...- Yes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33..and I like doing very dark, slightly twisted comedy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Marvellous.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39OK, well, what do you make of our board of stations, here?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41There's a couple I reckon I could guess,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43just based on recognising the language.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45However, one's jumping out at me
0:06:45 > 0:06:48because I'm fairly sure I see a city name I recognise
0:06:48 > 0:06:53in it, which is Dworzec Warszawa - the fourth one on the board...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Yup, got it. - ..which I believe is in Poland.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, well, let's find out if it is in Poland,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and let's see how many of our 100 people said Poland.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Well, 20 is what Slovakia scored...
0:07:06 > 0:07:0759 for Poland.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Not bad at all, Jen.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well played, Jen. Of course, Warsaw being the capital of Poland.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And we can work out...cos I'm guessing Centralna means central...
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- You've got to hope it does.- ..so Dworzec must mean railway station.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- That's...- Maybe it means it isn't central. Maybe it's central-na.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Oh, not central? - Yeah, there's a clue there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Central? Na. - LAUGHTER
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Maybe that's Polish for east.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yeah, exactly.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thank you very much, indeed.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- OK, JD.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Head-to-header last time.- So close.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Great performance with you. Very close, actually.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Very close head-to-head, indeed.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Remind us what you do, JD. - I have two jobs.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47My main job, if you like, is an account manager for a company
0:07:47 > 0:07:50that supplies promotional products, branded goods that
0:07:50 > 0:07:53all sorts of organisations use to promote themselves with...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yeah.- ..and I also work behind a bar, as well, at weekends.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Are you a mixologist?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Erm, I like to think so.- Very good.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02- Can you flair?- A little bit.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Can you bounce things off your elbows
0:08:04 > 0:08:05and catch them behind your head?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08The bouncing's not a problem but catching...may...can be.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Main problem, not being able to see behind your head.- Yes.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- That's..that is an issue.- I find that is... Yeah, it always will be.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Now, JD, what about these stations?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Well, I thought I liked geography... - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:08:19 > 0:08:23..and I know it's a cliche but the two that I did know have been taken.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Yup.- So I'm going to have to make an educated guess.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33The bottom one... the Sidirodromikos Stathmos Athinon.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm going to say Greece.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Could be Cyprus, but the Athinon - Athens, maybe? So Greece.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Seems reasonable, doesn't it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Athens, Greece, says JD.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Let's see if that's right for
0:08:43 > 0:08:45that station. I'm not going to say it again.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Let's see how many people said Greece.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50It's right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well, 59 is our high score.
0:08:52 > 0:08:5461 is our new high score.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- That's OK.- It's all right. - Yeah, I'm going to go on record
0:08:59 > 0:09:00and say that wasn't really a punt.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's sort of written in Greek
0:09:02 > 0:09:03and it's got the word Athens in it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Well, yeah, but... - LAUGHTER
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Thank you very much, indeed.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Now, then, Karen, welcome. - Thank you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Lovely to have you here from Birmingham, Karen. What you do?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I'm a retired teacher.- Oh, ah... - Oh, I told you they'd be trouble.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I told you they would be trouble. LAUGHTER
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Erm, what did you used to teach?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26I used to teach English, and now I do a day a week with Sue.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I work in a primary school with family learning,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33where parents come in to school to find out what happens in schools,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- and we do fun things together. - Oh, that's very good.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- So that's just for a day.- And what do you do with your other days?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Well, I have practically perfect grandchildren...- Lovely.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44..so I spend quite a bit of time with them,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49and I play alto sax in a band called Earth, Woodwind and Fire.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Wonderful. - LAUGHTER
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Erm, OK, so what are you going to go for on this board?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58The whole board is yours, Karen, so feel free to take us through it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I imagine that the top one might be Germany,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03but then it might be Austria.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06And the next one could be Italy,
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- and the Helsingin... - ..Paarautatieasema.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Wonderful.- Yeah.- Erm... - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I should know where that is but I can't remember,
0:10:17 > 0:10:22so I shall go with the Bucuresti Gara de Nord,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27and hope that Yugoslavia still exists.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31OK, Yugoslavia says Karen, in hope, but let's see if it's right.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Yugoslavia.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- No. Oh, I'm sorry, Karen. - GROANING
0:10:38 > 0:10:43I'm afraid that's a wrong answer, scoring you 100 points. Sorry.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Yeah, sorry, Karen.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Yugoslavia no longer exists, and also,
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Bucharest wasn't in Yugoslavia
0:10:48 > 0:10:50in the first place, so it's... LAUGHTER
0:10:50 > 0:10:52It's in Romania,
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Bucharest, capital of Romania,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56so the answer there was Romania,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57and it would have scored 27.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Helsingin - that's Helsinki.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It's Finland. Would have scored 44 -
0:11:02 > 0:11:03another big scorer.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The top one - it's Vienna,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Wien Westbahnhof, so it's Austria.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Would have scored 34.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10And the best answer on the board,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11the toughest one,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13the Gare do Oriente...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15is in Lisbon, so it's Portugal.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Very well done if you said that -
0:11:16 > 0:11:174 points.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Let's take a look at those scores. 20, well done,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Aoife - the best score of the pass by quite a way.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Then, up to 59, where we find Jen and Mikkaila.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Then, up to 61, JD and Robby,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33then up to 100, Karen and Sue. Now, Sue,
0:11:33 > 0:11:34you're the first person on the new board,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37so find a nice, low-scoring answer when it's all yours,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39and hopefully that will get you through to the next round,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42but best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51OK, let's put seven more railway stations up on the board,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and here they are. We have...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Phew. - LAUGHTER
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'll read those one... No, I'm not sure.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I didn't know on that one. I've got to do it one more time, now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK, ahem, here goes...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40There we are, with apologies.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Now, Sue, welcome.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- What do you do, Sue? - I'm a retired teacher.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45A retired... What did you teach?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50I taught primary schoolchildren, so, three to 11-year-olds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Do you know Karen from your teaching days, or are you old, old friends?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56No, we met each other about six years ago, at work, yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58At work, excellent. And what do you do
0:12:58 > 0:13:00when you're not also helping with the family learning?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Erm, well, I've got... also got a big family. I've got...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Just had my seventh and eighth grandchild...- Oh, congratulations.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- ..last week.- Very good.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11And Sue, what are your hobbies, other than the grandchildren?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Well, when I get time, I just like...
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I like cooking and reading, and perhaps a bit of gardening.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19And maybe a bit of inter-railing, I'm hoping?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Maybe.- What are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Erm...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm hoping that I know that
0:13:28 > 0:13:31the capital city of Hungary is Budapest,
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- so I'm going to go for that one - Budapest, Hungary.- OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Hungary, says Sue. You're the highest scorers at the moment,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39so no red line for you, but let's see how far down
0:13:39 > 0:13:41the column you can get with Hungary.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45It's right.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- CHEERING - 48.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53148, your total.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Still possibly very much in the game.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Well played, Sue, did everything you
0:13:56 > 0:13:58could do there, kept yourself in it.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59That's Budapest East.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Keleti is Hungarian for east.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, Robby, welcome back.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Thank you.- Front-page Robby. - That's me.- That's you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11We discovered Robby is studying to be a journalist.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And I'm also Preston's best bikini seller.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What does bikini selling involve, Robby?- Modelling.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Just...- Do you hold them up and walk them around?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Yeah, and recommending what goes with them...so a good sarong.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Oh, that's... See, that's clever, that's genius. A good sarong.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Two sarongs, of course, you know what that makes?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- Yeah, well, it doesn't make a right. - LAUGHTER
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Now, Robby, you have to score 86 or less.- Yeah.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Well, none are jumping out at me, I will be honest with you,
0:14:41 > 0:14:42and with the risk of looking silly,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I'm going to have a go at Bahnhof Bern.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47I'm going to go with Switzerland.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Switzerland, says Robby.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Switzerland. Here's your red line.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Nothing silly about that. Let's see if you can get below it.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56If you can, you're through to Round Two.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00It's right, and you're through.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Very well done, indeed, Robby.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04By a comfortable margin.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Look at that, 43, taking your total up to 104.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Well played, Robby. Great answer - the capital of Switzerland.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I've been on Swiss trains in my time.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Just, I mean, unbelievable.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So many of them, all on time.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Lavs everywhere.- Pipes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Piper, yeah. ALEXANDER WHISTLES
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Lovely.- Bit of tss-tss, tss-tss.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yeah, Swiss chocolate everywhere,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- cuckoo clocks... - Cuckoo clocks everywhere you turn.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Very good. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Now, Mikkaila, welcome to the show. - Hello.- Here from South London.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Erm, and what do you do?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'm a chemistry technician and a cookery teacher.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Are they kind of the same? - I mean, yes.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Practical chemistry is just cooking things up.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, that's enormous fun.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48That'd be the best place to be in a school is the chemistry lab.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- It's where all the fun happens. - Yeah, we do all the explosions.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53But you have to do all the tidying-up afterwards
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and the...ahem... opening windows and...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah, I've got a special cupboard for that, Xander,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- I don't breathe it all in myself. - That is good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00- It's nice.- Pleased to hear that.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And what do you do when you're not being a technician, Mikkaila?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well, I do a lot of cooking, which is good,
0:16:05 > 0:16:06cos Jen likes to eat
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- too, so...- Do you do quite experimental cooking?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I do. I like to try
0:16:10 > 0:16:12lots of different flavours and kind of put things together
0:16:12 > 0:16:14you wouldn't necessarily...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, so what are you going to go for?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Well, I'm really terrible at languages
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and I've not travelled that much in Europe,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25but the way you pronounced the top one...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- I wouldn't bank anything on that. - LAUGHTER
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It's the best I've got.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Erm, it sounded a bit like Copenhagen,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35so I'm going to go with Denmark.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Denmark, says Mikkaila.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Well, here's your red line, and if you get below that with Denmark,
0:16:41 > 0:16:42you are in Round Two.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Let's see how many people said Denmark.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's right, and you're through.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Very well done, indeed, Mikkaila.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- APPLAUSE - 29.
0:16:54 > 0:16:5829, taking your total up to 88.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Well played, Mikkaila. Great answer.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Do you know, 50% of Danes,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03or 50% of people who
0:17:03 > 0:17:06live in Copenhagen commute by bike?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10And 63% of their Members of Parliament go to work on a bicycle.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- That's quite good, isn't it? - That is good.- I have to say,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15the way you pronounced that top one, I thought it might be Botswana.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It was anyone's guess, pretty much. It could have been anything.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, Eoin, welcome.- Hiya.- Welcome.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28How much of your life do you spend saying to people,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30"No, it's just Eoin, Eoin, it's just Eoin"?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33For the first 16 years of my life,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36pretty much all the time, and then - my family's Irish,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38they moved back to Ireland, and then I didn't have to.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Hang on, there's a story here.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Aoife has the most beautiful accent. - She does.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45So do you, of course,
0:17:45 > 0:17:46but yours just isn't Irish.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- No, no, no...- But your name is very much Irish.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Yeah, I was born in Manchester... - I see,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- and then... - ..and the family moved back.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- I see, right, so then you grew up... from then on.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- And then came back to England. - Yeah, to get a job.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Right, and what job have you got?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- I'm a journalist, I'm a subeditor on a newspaper.- Marvellous.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Well, have a bit of fun here. - and talk us through some of these
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and see if you can supply the answers.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11A love of football generally gets you through
0:18:11 > 0:18:14European place-name stuff,
0:18:14 > 0:18:19so, Vilniaus is Lithuania, I'm guessing.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Praha is Prague.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Rigas is Riga, which is Latvia,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and Balti Jaam I thought was something you got in a curry house,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- I have to be honest. - Yeah, do you know,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- it sounds delicious.- No idea what that is, so I'll...
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Vilniaus, Lithuania.- Lithuania, says Eoin. Let's see if it's right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39No red line for you, as you're already through,
0:18:39 > 0:18:40but how many people said Lithuania?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44It's right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:51 > 0:18:55There we are. 15, the best score of the round and the last one.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- 35 is your total.- Yeah, terrific answer, Eoin, very well played.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59And as you say, it's football
0:18:59 > 0:19:00with the...you know...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Really, your geography is
0:19:02 > 0:19:04extraordinary if you're a big football fan, cos
0:19:04 > 0:19:06you're right about Prague as well.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08So, Czech Republic, of course.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Praha Hlavni Nadrazi...
0:19:11 > 0:19:12would have scored you 23.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14You are right about Riga,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16which is the capital of Latvia.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Would have scored you 21.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Now, the bottom one,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22there is no clue there whatsoever,
0:19:22 > 0:19:23so you either know this
0:19:23 > 0:19:24or you don't know it,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and 3 of 100 people did know...
0:19:26 > 0:19:27it's in Estonia.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Goodness me. 3 points.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Very well done if you said that.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Thanks very much. So, at the end of our first round,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36the pair who are heading home - they haven't been trouble at all,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38they've been good as gold - Sue and Karen.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm afraid, Yugoslavia...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Never mind. It means we get to see you again next time.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We'll look forward to that, but in the meantime,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47thanks very much for playing, Sue and Karen.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01And so now we're down to three pairs.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Obviously at the end of this round we will have to say goodbye to one of the pairs in front of me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Best of luck to all three pairs. The category for Round Two today is...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Awards. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:10 > 0:20:13who's going to first, who's going to second.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Mercury Prize - Mercury Music Prize, I beg your pardon - nominees,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Mercury Music Prize nominees as they could. Richard?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yeah, we're looking for the name of any artist
0:20:34 > 0:20:37who's been nominated for the Mercury Music Award for best album,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41all the way through from 1992 to the 2013 ceremony, please.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Lots of names on this -
0:20:43 > 0:20:48there are over 100 pointless answers on this list.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Oh, time to swell the coffers a bit here, I think.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Aoife, what do you reckon?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Yeah. Yeah, I think I know someone
0:20:56 > 0:21:01who I'm pretty sure was a nominee.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'm going to go James Blake.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07James Blake, says Aoife. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10let's see how many of our 100 people said James Blake.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's right - very well done indeed.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20One!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:23 > 0:21:26That's a fantastic answer. Fabulous low score.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Sorry you didn't get a pointless answer there, but still, hats off.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Very well played, Aoife. He's been nominated twice,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34and he won it in 2013 with Overgrown.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Now, Mikkaila. Mercury Music Prize.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Now, I should be able to think of some,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- but my mind's gone blank. - Over 100 pointless answers,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- that's what the man said.- I know!
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I'm going to say La Roux. I think she was nominated.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- La Roux.- Yeah.- La Roux, says Mikkaila. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01let's see how many of our 100 people said La Roux.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05It's right.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Very well done indeed. Well, our only score so far is one -
0:22:08 > 0:22:11where will La Roux end up?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- It's a pointless answer! Very well done indeed, Mikkaila! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That adds 250 quid to today's jackpot,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19takes the total up to £1,250.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23It scores you nothing. Very well done - great answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Yeah, nominated in 2009 for her self-titled album, La Roux.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I said there's a lot of pointless answers.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- It's a food word, isn't it, roux? So...- There you go.- There you are.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34And mercury, of course, is a chemistry word, so...
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- LAUGHTER - Double whammy.- Yeah. - What about that?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- JD.- Hello.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Some good answers here, obviously,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45so I think another one will be needed.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I'm just trying to think of earlier nominees.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I'm going to say PJ Harvey.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55PJ Harvey, says JD. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's right. Well, zero is our low score,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05one is our high.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Three.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We have a new high score.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16We've gone very cool all of a sudden, haven't we, on Pointless?
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Yeah, she's been nominated four times. She's won it twice as well - the only person to have won it twice.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Let England Shake was her most recent win, 2011.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Mikkaila, very well done indeed -
0:23:28 > 0:23:30the best score of that pass was yours,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32putting you and Jen in a very strong position.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34All the way up to one, where we find Aoife and Eoin,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and then all the way up to three, where we find JD and Robby.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Robby, you are way out in front there. We're going to need
0:23:41 > 0:23:43a really low-scoring answer from you in the next pass.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52OK, so Robby, remember, we're looking for the name of any act
0:23:52 > 0:23:55who has ever been nominated for a Mercury Music Prize.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57You're the high-scorers on three.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Right, then. Well, not to put the alarm bells ringing,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- but I don't follow the Mercury Music Prize a great deal.- OK.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05But, erm,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'm just going to go for a group
0:24:07 > 0:24:12which might fit the genre at all,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15total guess, and go for The Noisettes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The Noisettes, says Robby. The Noisettes.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21For the sake of argument, you have a red line, which is on two.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25You may not see it, but it's kind of there.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27More like a red carpet.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Anyway, let's pretend it's there.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Noisettes. Is it right?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No, Robby.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Not a bad answer at all, but I'm afraid, as it happens,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44not a Mercury-nominated act.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 103. I'm sorry.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Yeah, sorry - terrific band, and sold a lot of singles,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53but not had an album nominated for that award, I'm afraid.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Jen - it's good news for you.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Also feeling super safe, yeah. - You are through.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Knowing that, why not see if you can equal Mikkaila's brilliant answer,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- get another pointless.- See, that's tricky, cos my first answer,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Aoife took, and I was like, "I've got that one!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12"He went to my uni, nobody knows him!"
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Except he did win a Mercury Prize,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- so a few people probably do. - LAUGHTER
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Um... Thinking of a few,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22but I think I'm going to go for Muse.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Muse. OK, Muse, says Jen. No red lines, you're already through,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27but let's see how many people said it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38One!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Giving you a total of one. Very well done indeed, Jen and Mikkaila.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Well played, Jen. Nominated in 2006 for Black Holes And Revelations.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Eoin.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Again, you're through, which is great.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58But let's have a pointless answer.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03I can think of a few answers that will go fairly low, I think.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's a question of trying to think of one that's going to be pointless.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Um...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And I'll say The Klaxons.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14The Klaxons, says Eoin. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17No red line for you, you're already through.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20It's right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, our high-scoring correct answer is three.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27You've passed that - two.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Taking your total up to three. Very well done.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Well played, Eoin. Yeah, they won it, of course,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38with Myths Of The Near Future. Now, there's so many pointless answers here.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Let's take a look at some on the board, then I'll go through some more. You could have had
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Biffy Clyro, Black Grape, Catatonia.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48You could have had Elastica, Hard-Fi. La Roux we've already had, of course.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52The Darkness was a pointless answer, The Zutons, Van Morrison.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You also could have had Asian Dub Foundation, Belle and Sebastian,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Beth Orton, Corinne Bailey Rae, Cornershop, Faithless,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Glasvegas, Goldfrapp - I'm only picking out highlights here.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Hot Chip, I Am Kloot, KT Tunstall, MIA.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Manic Street Preachers was a pointless answer. Mark Morrison,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Metronomy, Maximo Park, New Order, Portishead,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Richard Hawley, Snow Patrol, Super Furry Animals, Talvin Singh,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The Chemical Brothers, The Horrors, The Streets, Tinie Tempah -
0:27:16 > 0:27:20the list goes on. There's hundreds of them on that list. Now let's take a look at the top three,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Take That with 12.
0:27:26 > 0:27:2812 also for Adele.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- And Oasis at the top with 15. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34So at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:27:34 > 0:27:36with their high score of 103 -
0:27:36 > 0:27:37I'm so sorry, it's JD and Robby.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I was set for you to go through to the final today, but I'm afraid
0:27:41 > 0:27:44they weren't really your categories there.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47But thank you so much for playing. Great contestants. Robby and JD.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:51 > 0:27:55But for Jen and Mikkaila, Aoife and Eoin, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Well, congratulations, Aoife and Eoin, Jen and Mikkaila.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You're now one step closer to the final
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13What a performance - that second round was incredible.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17And if you can do that on your own, think what you can do when you put your heads together.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I think this is going to be very close indeed.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24APPLAUSE
0:28:27 > 0:28:32OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- screen scientists. - LAUGHTER
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Screen scientists. Richard?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- This is getting ridiculous now, isn't it?- I know.- Enough science.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42We're going to show you five pictures of screen scientists.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Tell us the name of the film or TV programme on which they first appeared, please.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five screen scientists,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51and here they come. We've got...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16There we are - five screen scientists. Now, Aoife and Eoin,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19you've played best out of the show so far, so you will go first.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- WHISPERING:- I know I've seen D and E before.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28That's Amanda Burton, that's the sort of a...
0:29:28 > 0:29:31THEY WHISPER INDISTINCTLY
0:29:32 > 0:29:36We think we know four of them,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and I think we'll go for E, which is Dr Strangelove.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Dr Strangelove, say Aoife and Eoin. Dr Strangelove.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Now, Jen and Mikkaila, talk us through the board if you can.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I don't know the first two.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52C, I'm fairly sure is The Fly by David Cronenberg, the remake,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and D is obviously Doc Brown from Back To The Future.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57So I think we're going to go with The Fly, C.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00OK, The Fly. So we have Dr Strangelove versus The Fly.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Aoife and Eoin said Dr Strangelove - let's see how many people said that.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07It's right.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- APPLAUSE - 27 for Dr Strangelove.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Jen and Mikkaila, meanwhile, have gone for The Fly.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's right.
0:30:28 > 0:30:2952.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Well done, Aoife and Eoin - after one question you're up one-nil.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Yeah, and typically, it's the first two that would have won you the point as well.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42A is Amanda Burton in Silent Witness.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Would have scored your 22.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48B is CA Rotwang in Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Would have scored you one point, so best answer up there.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And D is of course Doc Brown, as you say,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57and Back To The Future is the answer there, and would have scored you 66.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Jen and Mikkaila, you have to win this one to stay in the game. Best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Wayne Rooney. - LAUGHTER
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Wayne Rooney, Richard.- Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11There'll be five clues to facts about Wayne Rooney -
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I'll read those one last time.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Jen and Mikkaila?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- WHISPERING:- I only know the third one.- Coleen?
0:31:56 > 0:32:01The age at which he made his debut was really young, he was like 17.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Um, I think the only one we know
0:32:04 > 0:32:08is the first name of the woman he married in 2008 is Coleen.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Coleen.- Coleen. OK, Coleen, say Mikkaila and Jen.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Now, Aoife and Eoin, the board's all yours.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Right, well, he was born in Liverpool.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I don't know what age he was when he made his England debut.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I'm fairly sure he was sent off against Portugal.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28And I should know the last one,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30but I sort of forget now,
0:32:30 > 0:32:31so I won't take a guess on that.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I'll say Portugal for the national side against which he was sent off.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Portugal. So we have Coleen and we have Portugal.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Jen and Mikkaila said Coleen - let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44It's right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:4974, I'm afraid - quite a high score there.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50APPLAUSE
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Aoife and Eoin have gone for Portugal,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55the country against whom he was playing when he was sent off
0:32:55 > 0:32:59in the World Cup match in 2006. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's right.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Very well done, wins you the point.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Very good work there, Aoife and Eoin.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1411 - lovely low score there, and it means after only two questions,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Aoife and Eoin, you are through to the final, two-nil.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Well played, Eoin. It was an infamous sending-off as well -
0:33:19 > 0:33:21he supposedly stamped on Ricardo Carvalho,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24and that's when Cristiano Ronaldo did his little wink to the camera,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26which saw endeared him to the British public.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29You're right that he was born in Liverpool.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Would have scored you 56.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35If you'd had to have a guess at the age, ladies,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- what would you have gone for? - Quite young - maybe, like, 21?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- What would you have gone for?- 18.
0:33:41 > 0:33:4417, he was. 17 and 111 days.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- I was thinking... Yeah. - It's very, very young.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Became the youngest scorer about eight months later as well. 26 points for that.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53And the club against which he made his debut - he actually scored a hat-trick on his debut
0:33:53 > 0:33:56in the Champions League against Fenerbahce.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Would have scored you 4 points, would have been the best answer there.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03So at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I'm afraid the pair leaving us - it's Jen and Mikkaila.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Well, you've done very well throughout the whole show.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Nothing wrong with either of your answers there, but we'll see you next time.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Look forward to that very much indeed. Jen and Mikkaila, thanks very much for playing.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19APPLAUSE
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But for Aoife and Eoin, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Congratulations, Aoife And Eoin. You fought off all the competition
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Well, I think that was a pretty convincing performance.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Er, I'd probably like something geography-based again,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- but it's probably not going to happen.- Eoin?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Dog-walking.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02LAUGHTER
0:35:02 > 0:35:05We've had that a few times lately, so...
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Well, best of luck. As always, you get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Let's hope there's something up here you like the look of. Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Either American crime writers or FIFA World Cup.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27What do you know most about?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well, you know nothing about the FIFA World Cup.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Yeah, but you probably know a lot about that.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Cult directors is...- Whatever you feel most comfortable with, Dad.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Well, the football's the one I feel most comfortable with. - Then let's do that.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Yeah, come on. We're doing it.- The footy.- OK, the footy it is. Rich?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Yeah, very best of luck. There were three World Cups in the '90s -
0:35:46 > 0:35:481990, 1994, 1998 - and our questions
0:35:48 > 0:35:52are all about those three World Cups. We're looking for...
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Any nation that scored five or more goals
0:35:55 > 0:35:57in any individual World Cup in the '90s.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We are looking for any players
0:36:00 > 0:36:02that played in all three of those World Cups.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Or we're looking for any players that scored for England or Scotland
0:36:06 > 0:36:10in any of those World Cups apart from in a penalty shoot out.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13So any team to score five or more in any of those individual World Cups,
0:36:13 > 0:36:15any players to have played in all three of the World Cups,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18or any England or Scotland scorers in any of those World Cups as well.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Very, very best of luck.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Thank you very much indeed. OK, as always,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:26 > 0:36:30is for just one of the answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33HE SIGHS
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Yeah.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.- There are just so many!
0:36:37 > 0:36:39There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Right, players that played in all three finals -
0:36:42 > 0:36:43well, Germany were in all three,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46and I think Lothar Matthaus, Jurgen Klinsmann...
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Yeah, they sound fantastic. - I know, I'm just saying names.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Players that scored for England or Scotland.
0:36:52 > 0:36:551990... They didn't even qualify in 1990?
0:36:55 > 0:36:56- I've no idea.- Or maybe they did.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Scotland, they never score.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01OK. Then go for the top one - just think of...
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Like, Uruguay or something. - Yes, yes, indeed. OK.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Teams - right, well, I'm going to say Lothar Matthaus
0:37:08 > 0:37:11cos I don't know that that's going to be a set,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and I'm also... Klinsmann, everyone knows Klinsmann.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Er... Any team to score five or more goals,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- I might say Cameroon.- OK.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24And I might say, erm...
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- And have they scored more than five?- Yeah, yeah.- OK.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Er...- Ten seconds. - I'm fairly sure Cameroon
0:37:31 > 0:37:35and I'm also going for...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Two seconds.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And that is your time up.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45I now need your three answers, and if you could say which category you're answering, that'd be great.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Players that played in all three finals.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- I'll say Lothar Matthaus first, for Germany.- Lothar Matthaus.
0:37:52 > 0:37:58And any team to score five or more goals, I'll say Cameroon.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Cameroon.- And Belgium.- Belgium.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Cameroon.- Cameroon. - Cameroon we'll put last.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- Least likely to be pointless? - Lothar Matthaus.- Lothar Matthaus, and then Belgium in the middle.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19We've got Lothar Matthaus, Belgium, Cameroon.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Three good answers up there on the board.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24let's hope one of those is pointless and wins that jackpot for you.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28£1,250 quid - what would you do with that, Aoife?
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- I would be able to pay off the end of my student loan.- Hooray!- Yeah.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36That would be nice. Eoin, how about you?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Our elder boy is learning to drive,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41so that would probably take up all the insurance, actually.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- LAUGHTER - OK. Well, best of luck.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Lothar Matthaus was your first - the one you thought was probably
0:38:47 > 0:38:50least likely to be pointless. We were looking for players
0:38:50 > 0:38:53that played in all three World Cup finals across the 1990s.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Let's see if it's right.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57If it is pointless, you will leave with £1,250.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Let's see how many people said Lothar Matthaus.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03It's right.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Lothar Matthaus, now going down through the 50s. If this goes all the way down to 0,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11obviously you will leave straightaway with £1,250.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Down into single figures, still going down,
0:39:13 > 0:39:14to four.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17APPLAUSE
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It's a great answer. Great low score there -
0:39:20 > 0:39:23not a pointless answer, though, so only two more shots
0:39:23 > 0:39:26at today's jackpot. Your second answer was Belgium.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30In this case, we were looking for teams that scored five or more goals in any one tournament.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let's see if Belgium's right, let's see if it's pointless.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37If it is, it'll win you £1,250. How many people said Belgium?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It's right.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Well, Lothar Matthaus took us all the way down to four.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Belgium now taking us down through the 20s and the teens
0:39:49 > 0:39:51into single figures. Down it goes,
0:39:51 > 0:39:52it passes four, going down,
0:39:52 > 0:39:53oh! One!
0:39:53 > 0:39:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Brilliant.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Wow.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04One for Belgium. Another brilliant answer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Not a pointless answer, though.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Everything now riding on your third and final answer, which is Cameroon.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14Again, in this case, we were looking for countries that scored five or more goals in any single tournament.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Let's see if Cameroon's right, let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20If it is, it'll win you £1,250. How many people said Cameroon?
0:40:23 > 0:40:24It's right.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Your first answer, Lothar Matthaus, took us all the way down to four,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31followed by Belgium, taking us all the way down to one.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Now Cameroon taking us into single figures - down it goes,
0:40:34 > 0:40:35still going down, down it goes, oh!
0:40:35 > 0:40:36AUDIENCE: Awww!
0:40:36 > 0:40:40APPLAUSE
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Three brilliant answers there,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50but unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54That will roll over onto the next show.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58But we've really enjoyed having you on the programme, and you have been fantastic.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- You get a Pointless trophy each to show for it.- Brilliant.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03APPLAUSE
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Yeah, it's been a real pleasure having you on. You've been a great team, and that's unlucky.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14That 60 seconds goes so quickly, doesn't it? I know there are loads of answers you know.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You were right thinking about the Germans, funnily enough, Matthaus.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Andreas Moller would have been a pointless answer, and Jurgen Kohler.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Also a pointless answer, played in all three World Cups -
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Jurgen Klinsmann.- Argh!- Aw! - THEY LAUGH
0:41:28 > 0:41:32So sorry. I think I would have gone with you and thought that more people would have known him,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36but actually Lothar Matthaus, the highest scorer of anyone who played in those three World Cups.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Let's take a look at pointless answers in all the different categories.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41For teams that scored five or more,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45you could have had Chile, Denmark - they scored nine in 1998 -
0:41:45 > 0:41:48you could have had Morocco, you could have had Norway,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Nigeria, Romania, Saudi Arabia and Yugoslavia,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53who did it twice as well.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's take a look at some of those players.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Carlos Valderrama would have been a great answer - remember him?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Enzo Scifo, talking of Belgians, he's a great answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Gheorghe Hagi, and also, funnily enough,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Popescu and Dumitrescu, the other two Romanians,
0:42:06 > 0:42:09they were also pointless answers. There's Jurgen Klinsmann.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Also there you could have had Zubizarreta, could have had Freddy Rincon,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15you could have had Lorenzo Staelens, Taffarel, also a pointless answer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18We'll look at the players that scored for England and Scotland.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23Lot of Scots would have got a few of these. Craig Burley, who scored against Norway, pointless answer.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Mo Johnston and Stuart McCall, both scored against Sweden,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28were pointless answers. And Mark Wright for England as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32They're the only four pointless answers on that list, so very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- Unlucky. That is hard, isn't it? - That really is. I'm so sorry.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42but you have been absolutely wonderful. It's been a treat for us to have you on the show.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Thank you so much for playing. Aoife and Eoin - wonderful contestants.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, very sadly, Aoife and Eoin didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then, see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
