0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show
0:00:26 > 0:00:27where the more obscure your knowledge
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the better your chances of winning.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Well, my wife, Doreen, and I'm Christopher and we've been
0:00:39 > 0:00:42married for 54-and-a-half years
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and we come from Cambridgeshire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number two.- Hello, my name's Jack. This is my twin brother, Tom.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- I live in Edinburgh and he lives in Manchester.- Couple number three.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, my name's Sue and this is my son-in-law, Fergus.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm from Wrexham and Fergus is from Dorchester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, my name's Louise, this is my friend Amanda.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00We're friends from St Andrews University
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and we're both from Glasgow.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it
0:01:09 > 0:01:12goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14If life really were a box of chocolates, then this man
0:01:14 > 0:01:17would be the detailed and informative guide pamphlet.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Or one of the coffee ones.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Afternoon, everybody.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- How are you today? - I'm very well indeed.- Excellent.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Got one returning pair. Jack and Tom are back with us,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32got through to the head-to-head last time
0:01:32 > 0:01:34so they are formidable opponents, everyone, I warn you of that.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Couple of things to pick up on before we start.- Yes.- Sue and Fergus...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Yes.- ..mother-in-law, son-in-law. - Oh, can I...? It gets better.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Oh, no, really?- Brand-new mother, I mean, five months.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- You are...- Five months into it. - ..kidding! I'm trying to work...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm trying to work out who's the braver here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53That is quite a relationship tester, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58And on podium one, Doreen and Christopher. 54-and-a-half years married.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- How about that?- How about that? - That's amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's a long... That's almost longer than us.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- LAUGHTER - Yeah. Goodness.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Well, thank you, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09So, Sarah and Nick, as you've gathered,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:10 > 0:02:12so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So today's jackpot starts off at £3,500.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17APPLAUSE
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:28 > 0:02:31at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's your job to make sure that pair is not you.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Our first category today is...
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Definitions.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44who's going to go second?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- The Nato phonetic alphabet. - LAUGHTER
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Richard.- We're going to give you seven clues on each pass
0:03:01 > 0:03:04to different things. All of those answers are also, coincidently,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06words used in the Nato phonetic alphabet.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09There's going to be seven on the first pass, seven on the second, 14 in all.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Good luck, everybody.- OK.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, we're looking for the letters in the Nato phonetic alphabet
0:03:14 > 0:03:17described by these clues. Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Christopher, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you. 54-and-a-half years.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Does it show?- No, it really doesn't!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Congratulations. A diamond wedding is what you're heading towards.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Fantastic. And what do you do, Christopher?- Not very much.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, that's exactly the right answer. And what did you used to do?
0:04:22 > 0:04:28Retired Anglican vicar and, after retirement, I became a pilot
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- and I've written about ten books. - What sort of books have you written?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, I put the whole of the Bible into limerick verse.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- LAUGHTER - That's good.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38And I think that it's 1,001 limericks. I think
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- it's more than anybody's ever had published.- So all the Psalms?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- The whole lot.- The whole lot?! - The Apocrypha, as well.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47What's the first limerick?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Well, you must buy the book. - LAUGHTER
0:04:50 > 0:04:54So, Christopher... And piloting? That was a brave thing to take up.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Well, it's something I've wanted to do for years and years only
0:04:57 > 0:05:00because I was given a test flight, you know,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and he said, "Christopher, you're a natural pilot."
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I fell for it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Yeah, they saw you coming. - And I absolutely loved it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And she is my navigatress, my navigatrix.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Christopher's got a good voice for a vicar and a pilot, hasn't he?- He has.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Sky pilot.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Very good. So, Christopher, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I'm going for the first one. I'm going to say Sierra.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Sierra, says Christopher.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Sierra.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- Good answer. 20. - APPLAUSE
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Gets us off to a good start, thank you, Christopher.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well played, Christopher. Good answer, Sierra.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Before we adopted the Nato alphabet,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48the British phonetic alphabet had Sugar for S.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Probably a good thing we changed it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Sierra is cooler, isn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I think it is. OK, now, Jack, welcome back.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Head-to-head last time.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Remind us what you do, Jack. - I'm an international tourism
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- management student at Edinburgh University.- And here you are.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm not sure... How many identical twins have we had on Pointless?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Not many.- Well, I know it's definitely an even number.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- That's certain. - LAUGHTER
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Certainly true.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19Always fun. At what point did you go your separate ways, Jack and Tom?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22We actually did our undergraduate degree together in the same
0:06:22 > 0:06:25university, same year, so really it's only been about a year or so
0:06:25 > 0:06:27that we've been separated and gone our own ways.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Is that quite strange?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Um...- It's a relief.- Really?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32LAUGHTER
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- No.- It is a bit strange.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37OK, so, Jack, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I was going to go for the top one.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44And I think the other ones I know are going to be quite high-scoring.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I think I'm going to go for the first name of David and
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Victoria Beckham's second son, which is Romeo.- Romeo, says Jack.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said Romeo.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- APPLAUSE - 41.
0:07:05 > 0:07:0741 for Romeo.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well played, Jack. David Beckham recently admitted he was refereeing
0:07:10 > 0:07:12a charity match that Romeo was playing in
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and gave a penalty against him and made him cry.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Aw. Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sue, welcome.- Thank you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Here from Wrexham.- Yes. - And what do you do, Sue?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I'm a teacher of English in a secondary school.- Excellent.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27And what are your hobbies?
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I like amateur dramatics, I enjoy singing, all sorts of things,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35really. But the amateur dramatics, probably mostly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36And whose idea was it to come on Pointless?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39To be fair, it was both of our ideas. Both of our ideas.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- And Fergus, the obvious choice? - Obvious choice.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Absolutely. Calm under pressure, perfect.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now, Sue, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, I could say I was going to go for the top one but there was
0:07:50 > 0:07:53no way I was going to go for the top one cos I don't know it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58But I'm thankful that ballroom dance originating in Buenos Aires
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- is hopefully the tango. - The tango, says Sue.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Let's see if the tango is right and, if it is,
0:08:02 > 0:08:03let's see how many people said Tango.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Oh, phew...- It's right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Well, 41's our high score.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Oh, 58 is our new high score. - Oh, big score.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Big score.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17It is a big score, yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The tango originated in the slums of Buenos Aires,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22the slums and bars, in the 1880s.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Mmm. Where would they get the roses from?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I suppose they grow there as well. - Yes, they do.- They do.- They do.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- I don't want to get all horticultural on you, but, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Lots... They get lots of flowers in other countries.- Yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- That's good.- We don't... They're not all exported from us.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Got trees there, as well.- Get out. - It's amazing.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- I don't know if you've ever been to Argentina.- Really?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I've never been. - Got trees, traffic lights...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I went there, they had a bird.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49LAUGHTER I couldn't believe it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Literally, I thought, "You've flown a long way from England." LAUGHTER
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- They do.- Apparently, apparently, they actually live there.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Did you see its nest?- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Oh, all right, OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02There was an Argentinian flag.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Fair enough.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Louise, welcome to the show.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Great to have you here. You met at St Andrews, Louise.- Yes, yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- And what were you studying there? - International relations.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- What do you do now?- I work as an overseeing manager for a university.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20That's just perfect, isn't it?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Absolutely perfect. And what do you do in your spare time, Louise?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28I travel a lot, as much as I can. I also do some art classes, as well.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I do some painting.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- Erm, and, you know, general, films and books and everything. - Excellent.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Now, you're the last person to have this board, Louise.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37If you want to talk us through it
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and fill in all the blanks, you certainly may.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I can't fill in the first, the two there
0:09:41 > 0:09:43that are missing at the top, but the
0:09:43 > 0:09:45bottom two I should definitely know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48St Andrew's Day, that's November,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and the bottom one,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I have been to that tournament,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53and it's golf.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I think, perhaps, November would be, for St Andrew's Day,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58would be perhaps lower.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59So you're going to go for November.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:10:01 > 0:10:03said November. Is it right?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It is right. Well, 58 is our high score at this point.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Do you pass that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:1245. Very well done.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17You chose the right one, as well
0:10:17 > 0:10:19because Golf was a very big scorer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Would have scored you 78 points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Have you really been to the Masters? - I have, yes.- Wow, that's exciting.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's one of those things
0:10:25 > 0:10:26that all sports fans...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's a lifetime ambition. Was it good?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yes, it was very good.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31We'll talk about this later.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32The other...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Now, the two you didn't know.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35The tract of sediment...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I only just got this now. Delta, of course.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Delta, yeah, of course it is.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Would have scored 24, and the best
0:10:40 > 0:10:41answer on the board by a mile,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45the Leona Lewis album was Echo.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48That would have scored you 2 points, so very well done if you said that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Let's look at those scores, as they stand.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5420, the best score of that pass,
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Christopher and Doreen looking very
0:10:55 > 0:10:57strong there at this point,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58then up to 41,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59where we find Jack and Tom.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Up to 45, Louise and Amanda,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03and then up to 58,
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Sue and Fergus.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You're not miles ahead, Fergus,
0:11:06 > 0:11:07but far enough ahead for us
0:11:07 > 0:11:09to need a low score from you. So best of luck.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they come.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20We have got...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- There we are. Amanda, welcome. - Hi, thank you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07And what do you do, Amanda?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm a trainee librarian.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10How is that going?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah, it's really good. I work in a college library
0:12:12 > 0:12:16and I'm doing my Masters in my spare time, I guess, so...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- OK, so what's the Masters in? - Librarianship.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Oh, I see. Are there any particular libraries where you want to go
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- and work?- Any, really.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I work in a nautical library just now, which is really interesting
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I really want to go into universities,
0:12:30 > 0:12:31so we'll see what happens.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK, well, good luck with that, and there you are, you're on 45.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36The high-scorers at the moment,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39are Fergus and Sue on 58, so 12 or less
0:12:39 > 0:12:41would definitely get you into the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Yeah, OK.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I know a few of them,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47but I think I'm going to go for first name of the French author
0:12:47 > 0:12:49who wrote the novel Les Miserables.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- That's Victor Hugo. - Victor, says Amanda.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Let's see if that's right. Here's your red line.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Quite low.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Get below that, and you're in Round Two,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59but let's see how many people said Victor.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03It's right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08That's a good answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Look at that, down it goes to 20.
0:13:10 > 0:13:1265 is your total. Very well done.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yeah, you'd think that would be enough, wouldn't you?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Very good score, well played. Yeah, he also wrote
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, of course.- Indeed.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Thank you, Richard.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Now, Fergus.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Welcome to Pointless. What you do, Fergus?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- I'm a company director. - Down in Dorchester.- In Dorchester.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- What does the company do? - Logistics, really.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- OK, so it's all freight, is it? That kind of...- Yeah,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- international parcel deliveries. Exciting.- Company director, Fergus.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Yeah, it's a posh title. - That's a posh...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44That's a very mother-in-law compatible job, isn't it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46SHE MOUTHS AND AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You, apparently, were down...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You were almost going to be in Harry Potter, weren't you?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yes, I was, yeah.- What part were you up for?- Neville Longbottom.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Are you quite grateful that you didn't become Neville Longbottom for
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- the rest of time?- In some ways, yes. In some ways, I am, yeah.- Oh.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Anyway, listen there you are.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06There is a board of Nato phonetic alphabet words, there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08What are you going to go for?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Well, I would have preferred the previous board.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Erm, I think I know all but one of these.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16The issue is, I'm not sure whether to go for a punt or not,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18but I think I'm going to go for a risk.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19I've got no idea if this is right,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22but the 2013 crime film,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'm going to guess Charlie.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Charlie. Well, Amanda's nodding.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I don't know if Amanda knows anything about films
0:14:29 > 0:14:31but she is nodding. Charlie. OK, there's your red line.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If you can get below that, you are in the next round.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Let's see how many people said Charlie. Is it right?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Oh...I'm sorry, Fergus...
0:14:43 > 0:14:44..and by implication, Amanda.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49scores you 100 points, so takes your total up to 158.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Sorry, Fergus, not Charlie. I'll give you the right answer
0:14:51 > 0:14:53at the end of the pass.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Thanks very much, indeed.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Tom.- Hiya.- Tom, great news.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Erm... I was about to call him Charlie, there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Fergus has helped you out there... - Yeah.- ..by getting you through to
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- the next round.- The pressure's off. Very decent of him.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Very decent of him, logistically speaking.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Tom, remind us what you do.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'm an international management student
0:15:11 > 0:15:14at Manchester Metropolitan University.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Now, we discovered last time that you grew up in Geneva.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Yeah, that's right. - How did that come about?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21My dad got a job out there when we were six years old,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23so it was supposed to be for two or three years
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- but we ended up settling down there. - All the way through.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28What language did you speak after English?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31So, French, cos we did our school in French, and college, et cetera
0:15:31 > 0:15:35and then spent a semester in Spain as well, in Madrid,
0:15:35 > 0:15:39so got a decent level of Spanish, and we did German at school
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- but I can't claim to actually speak it.- Pretty good, though.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Yeah, as I say,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- you're already through.- Yeah. - So, it takes a bit of pressure off.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- but what are you going to go for on this board?- Erm...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Apart from the Orlando Bloom film, I know all the rest,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56but I'm going to have to go for the one that, beyond any doubt, I know,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58so, capital city of Peru - Lima.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Lima, says Tom. No red line,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02as you're already through.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lima.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's right.
0:16:09 > 0:16:1268, takes your total up to 109.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Yeah, that's all you needed to do. One of the most popular,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21fastest-growing cities in the world, Lima. Amazing food...
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Amazing. It's going to be...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I suspect it will be a city that becomes more
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and more important as the years go by.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Well, it's already important if you're a Peruvian.- It certainly is.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- But as a world city.- Thank you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Now, Doreen, a very warm welcome to you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Thank you.- Lovely to have you here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37What do you do, Doreen?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Well, I'm retired, and now I paint.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'm part of the Worlington Movement.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Now, tell us about the Worlington Movement.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49They're trying to get back to painting oils in the style
0:16:49 > 0:16:54of the old masters, so that you start off with doing the tones...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Yeah.- ..and then, when you start bringing in the colours,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59you have lots and lots of layers with glazes in between.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01So they could be portraits, landscapes,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- anything?- Absolutely anything.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- It's just a style of applying. - It's the style.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Excellent. You're all through to Round Two.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Thank you.- This is great news, takes a lot of pressure off.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You probably can take us through the board and can fill in those blanks.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I think the Dorian Gray is Oscar.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I don't know the Whitaker one.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Erm, Kilo, Whiskey
0:17:21 > 0:17:22and Quebec,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25but, which will be the lowest?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I always get that part wrong. - THEY LAUGH
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'll go for...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Quebec.- Quebec, says Doreen. Let's see if that's right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36No red line, for the lovely reason that you're already through,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38but let's see how many people said Quebec.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's right.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Ooh, that was a good answer. Look at that, Doreen. Very well done.
0:17:48 > 0:17:5026 takes your total up to 46,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51the lowest total
0:17:51 > 0:17:53by quite a distance of the round. Very well done.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Well played. Doreen and Christopher are good.- They are good.- Very good.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57And you knew all of them
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and you gave us the lowest scorer
0:17:59 > 0:18:01as well, so if you're not
0:18:01 > 0:18:03good at that at home, you are good at it at in the studio,
0:18:03 > 0:18:04which is...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06That's the place to be good at it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So you're right about the unit of mass, that's a kilo.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Would have scored you 52.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And whiskey, of course, the alcoholic drink...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18and that would have scored you 48.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The next best answer would have been Oscar,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and that would have scored you 28.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24So, Quebec, the best.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Now, this 2013 crime film,
0:18:25 > 0:18:26well done if you got this,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28it's the lowest scorer.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's set in South Africa and it's also the name of a much more
0:18:30 > 0:18:33famous film from the '60s, starring Michael Caine.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Zulu.- Zulu is the answer.- Zulu, oh.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Yup.- I was going to suggest Bravo. - 1 point for that. So, Fergus, it's a
0:18:38 > 0:18:40tough one to go for but you'd have
0:18:40 > 0:18:41literally had to go all
0:18:41 > 0:18:43the way through the alphabet, so a tough one to guess on.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47At the end of our first round, the high-scoring pair,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I'm so sorry.- Yes.- Mother-in-law and son-in-law combination, Fergus
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and Sue, it's you, 158.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Good for you for having a punt on that, Fergus,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58cos you could have gone through.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm sure you could have found a lower scoring answer on that
0:19:00 > 0:19:05board that you'd have known, but Pointless likes risk-takers.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07So, I hope Pointless will pay you back next time you're on,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10with a nice round. Anyway, great to have you on.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Thanks so much for playing, Fergus and Sue.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And now, we're down to three pairs. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27we will say goodbye to another pair in time for
0:19:27 > 0:19:29our head-to-head round. Well, congratulations,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Amanda, our joint lowest individual scorer there.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Congratulations to Christopher and Doreen, our total low scorers,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40our combined low scorers. And Jack and Tom, well done - just well done.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Good to have you here. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Oh...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Film Directors. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:50 > 0:19:52who is going to go first, who is going to go second?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Actors And Their Directors, Richard. - Yes, it'll be interesting, this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08People are notoriously poor on directors,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I have to say, whenever directors come up,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13so we're going to put that knowledge to the test, now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15We're going to show you a list of four actors in a moment.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17We need you to tell us the name of anyone
0:20:17 > 0:20:19who has ever directed one of these four actors
0:20:19 > 0:20:23in a feature film made for cinema release prior to April 2014, please.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26So, anyone who has directed any of the following four actors.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Ooh, this might be a challenge. So, as Richard's mentioned,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33we're going to put four names up on the board.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35They will remain on the board the whole round,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38so we'll go up and come back down the line with those names
0:20:38 > 0:20:40not changing halfway through. Let's find out what they are.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Our four actors...
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'll read those again.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56We just require the name of any director
0:20:56 > 0:20:59who has worked with them on film.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Christopher.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- It's not ideal, is it? - No, it's not.- No.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Yes, so, I mean, do just take a couple of deep breaths
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and think, with...
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Sometimes it's not as tricky as it immediately looks.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Well, I'll try this one.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20A shot in the dark. Tom Hanks.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Tom Hanks, says Christopher.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Let's see if Tom Hanks is right
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- THEY LAUGH - Bad luck.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Not Tom Hanks, but I saw what you were doing there. I applaud it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Er, yeah. Not a prolific director, I'm afraid, Tom Hanks.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41LAUGHTER But, er...
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- It could have happened, though.- You know what, it could have happened.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- He did...- Todd Carty has directed some episodes of Doctors.- He has.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50And who's to say that Tom Hanks hasn't directed...
0:21:50 > 0:21:51er, James Stewart?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53LAUGHTER
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Very late in James Stewart's career and very early in Tom Hanks's.- Maybe.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Anyway, I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Erm, Tom?- Yep.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Erm, I know a few. I'm just...
0:22:04 > 0:22:06..trying to think of an obscure one.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09But no obscure directors are coming to mind,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11so I'm going to go with Christopher Nolan.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Christopher Nolan says Tom. Christopher Nolan.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Let's... Several people nodding in the assembled company
0:22:18 > 0:22:21at Christopher Nolan. Looks like a good answer, let's see if it's right
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and let's see how many people said it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25It is right.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- ALL:- Ooh!
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- APPLAUSE - It's not just right, it's...it's...
0:22:35 > 0:22:362 right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Very well done indeed, Tom. 2 for Christopher Nolan.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Well done, Tom. The brilliant British director, Christopher Nolan.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Of course, directed Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now, Amanda.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Ooh, I don't know if I'm going to be able to come up with
0:22:52 > 0:22:54anything as good as that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55I'm going to go for Frank Capra.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Frank Capra, says Amanda. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Let's see how many people said Frank Capra.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05- LOUISE WHISPERS:- Yes!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- ALL: Ooh! - Look at that! 3!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- APPLAUSE - It's a wonderful score.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yeah, that's a lovely answer, Amanda. Very well played.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21He directed Jimmy Stewart three times.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Most famously in It's A Wonderful Life.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But also Mr Smith Goes To Washington and You Can't Take It With You.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28One of the greatest directors of all time, Frank Capra.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Thank you, Richard. So we're halfway through the round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Let's take a look at those scores. 2, Tom.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Well done. Best score there. Tom and Jack looking very strong
0:23:35 > 0:23:37on the back of that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Then Amanda and Louise on 3. Then, I'm afraid, up to 100, where we
0:23:40 > 0:23:43find Christopher and Doreen.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Good luck, Doreen.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- We need it. - LAUGHTER
0:23:47 > 0:23:49We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56OK, so remember, Louise, we are looking for the name of any director
0:23:56 > 0:24:00who has directed any of these actors in a feature film.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03If you can score 96 or less, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I think I'm going to have to go with erm...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09someone I'm a big fan of, erm...
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Baz Luhrmann.- Baz Luhrmann, says Louise.- Mm-hm.- Baz Luhrmann.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Here's your red line. Lovely and high.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Get below that with Baz Luhrmann and you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It's right, very well done.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- APPLAUSE - 11 for Baz Luhrmann.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Takes your total up to 14.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Another good answer, yeah. No problems at all with this round.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39He directed Leonardo DiCaprio twice.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jack.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Jack, what are you going to go for? 97 or less gets you through.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Got a few running through my mind. Erm...
0:24:53 > 0:24:57I'm going to play it relatively safe and say Danny Boyle.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Danny Boyle, says Jack.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01There's your red line.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Get below that and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05How many people said Danny Boyle?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's right.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15- ALL:- Ooh!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- APPLAUSE - Very well done, indeed!
0:25:18 > 0:25:201, our lowest score of the round so far.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Takes your total up to 3.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Well played, Jack. Another very good answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah, he directed, of course, The Beach, with Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Now, Doreen, I'm afraid I have grave news.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Oh.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Er, I'm afraid you are the highest scorers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Only just. Before you give your answer.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But do you have an answer?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Well, I'll have a guess. But at least I think he'll be a director.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48LAUGHTER
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I've only ever seen one film.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I think, it's only a guess.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52I don't know whether he's anything
0:25:52 > 0:25:54to do with any of those.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- James Cameron?- James Cameron?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00James Cameron? Well, let's find out.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Is it right and how many people said James Cameron?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- It's a very good answer, Doreen. - Ooh!- Very well done indeed.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- 21. - APPLAUSE
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Takes your total up to 121.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Good end to the round.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well played, Doreen. He directed Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- of course, James Cameron.- Oh, I didn't know that, but...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26We'll cut that bit out and it'll
0:26:26 > 0:26:27look like you did.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28LAUGHTER
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Now, let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32There's all sorts of them on the board.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You could have said Barry Levinson,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36who directed Rain Man, with Tom Cruise.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Bernardo Bertolucci, who did Last Tango In Paris,
0:26:39 > 0:26:40which was with Marlon Brando.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Bryan Singer directed Valkyrie, with Tom Cruise.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45You could have had Cecil B Demille.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48He did The Greatest Show On Earth, with James Stewart.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Gene Kelly, did the Cheyenne Social Club,
0:26:50 > 0:26:51that's with Jimmy Stewart, as well.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Michael Mann did Collateral, that's Tom Cruise.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Michael Winner is a pointless answer, though. Directed The Big Sleep.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Richard Donner, who did Superman, and Sam Raimi who did
0:27:02 > 0:27:04The Quick And The Dead, which had Leonardo DiCaprio in it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well done if you said any of those, terrific answers there.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Some big names as well. Let's take a look at the top three,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14They said James Cameron, 21 of them did.
0:27:16 > 0:27:1822 of them said Martin Scorsese.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And 26 of them said Steven Spielberg.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So, at the end of our second round, I'm very sorry to say the pair
0:27:26 > 0:27:28heading home with a high score
0:27:28 > 0:27:30of 121 is Christopher and Doreen.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Such a strong performance in the first round.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35A bit of me is relieved, because, the way it was looking,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I thought you were going to go
0:27:36 > 0:27:37straight to the final and we'd
0:27:37 > 0:27:38only see you for one show.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39No, we didn't want that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42No, we didn't want that, so we'll have you back next show,
0:27:42 > 0:27:43which is good news. We'll look
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- forward to that.- Thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45In the meantime, thank you for
0:27:45 > 0:27:47playing. Christopher and Doreen.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48APPLAUSE
0:27:49 > 0:27:51But for Louise and Amanda and Jack and Tom,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Congratulations, Louise, Amanda, Jack and Tom,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02you are now one step closer to the final
0:28:02 > 0:28:05and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands...
0:28:05 > 0:28:07at £3,500.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Well, Jack and Tom, you've done it again.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Head-to-head in two consecutive shows.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17You were in exactly this position last time,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20but, Louise and Amanda, they've been very strong.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Very strong. I think now you can all put your heads together and combine
0:28:23 > 0:28:26your knowledge, I think this is going to be very tight indeed.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37OK, here's your first question and it concerns...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Famous Rachels. Richard?- We're going to show you five famous Rachels.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45We just need you to tell us the most obscure.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47And we need the first name and surname, please.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I wonder what their first names are going to be?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Er, let's see who they are. We have...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19There we go. Five famous Rachels.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Louise and Amanda, you've been our low scorers, so you'll go first.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24I think C is Rachel Johnson.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- THEY WHISPER - OK. I don't know about the rest,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I think they may just be like sport.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Maybe a sports star. - B is Rachel Weisz.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Er, we think that C is Rachel Johnson.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Rachel Johnson, OK.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Rachel Johnson, say Louise and Amanda.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Now, Jack and Tom.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- We're not too good on our Rachels. - JACK LAUGHS
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Do you want to talk us through the board and do some thinking out loud?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47It's going to be quite short, we only know B.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48That's Rachel Weisz.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52OK. You're going to go for Rachel Weisz. We have Johnson versus Weisz.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Louise and Amanda have gone for Rachel Johnson.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right and,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- It's right.- Yes!
0:30:06 > 0:30:07- APPLAUSE - 12.
0:30:10 > 0:30:1312 for Rachel Johnson. Very well done indeed.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Jack and Tom have gone for lovely Rachel Weisz for B.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Let's see if that's right and,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20if it is, let's see how many people said Rachel Weisz.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- 28 for Rachel Weisz. - APPLAUSE
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Which means, well done, Louise and Amanda,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Very well played. Yep, journalist and author Rachel Johnson there.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Now, A. She's from S Club 7,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43that's Rachel Stevens.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47That would have scored you 44, that's a big score there.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49D is a Pointless answer.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52She's the artist and sculptress, Rachel Whiteread.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Turner Prize winner, as well.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Very well done if you said Rachel Whiteread.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58And E is the lovely Rachel Riley
0:30:58 > 0:31:00from Countdown and many other things.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02And she would have scored you 24.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Thanks, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Jack and Tom, you get to answer it first,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10It concerns...
0:31:12 > 0:31:13LAUGHTER
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Eels.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- What?- It concerns eels. It's about eels. Another eels question. Yep.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Yep, we're going to give you five clues now
0:31:20 > 0:31:23to facts about shoes that Cockney women wear.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25LAUGHTER We just need you to, er...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27We're not.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29We're going to give you five clues about eels. You need to give us
0:31:29 > 0:31:32the most obscure answer. Best of luck. If you didn't think you knew
0:31:32 > 0:31:35anything about eels, you're about to find out if you do.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36- LAUGHTER - Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I will read those all one last time.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Jack and Tom? - THEY WHISPER
0:32:30 > 0:32:32JACK LAUGHS
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It's really not a good category for us.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- Yeah.- Erm... - THEY LAUGH
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Right, this is going to be a bit of a guess.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43The British overseas territory, which is believed to take its name
0:32:43 > 0:32:48from the Spanish for eel. It's only cos it sounds Spanish.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50We're going to go for Tristan da Cunha.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Tristan da Cunha?- Yeah, just cos it sounds Spanish. So that's...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- It sounds Spanish. It sounds kind of eel-ish.- Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58- Eel-ish.- So... - LAUGHTER
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- OK, Tristan da Cunha.- Yep.- Yeah.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04OK, now then. Louise and Amanda,
0:33:04 > 0:33:06do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:06 > 0:33:07- THEY LAUGH - No.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13Erm, we think that the top one is jellied eels, but...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It's only because it sounds kind of eel-ish.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16LOUISE LAUGHS
0:33:16 > 0:33:18We think that the cathedral city is Ely.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- So we'll go for that one. Yeah, Ely. - You're going to go for Ely?- Mm.- OK.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- So we have... - THEY LAUGH
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Tristan da Cunha and we have Ely.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Jack and Tom have gone for Tristan da Cunha.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Let's see if that's right and,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Ooh, I'm sorry. - ALL:- Oh!
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I'm sorry. An incorrect answer there,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42but Louise and Amanda have gone for Ely.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Is that a complete punt?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It just sounds too good to be true. Surely it must be?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47- Yeah.- It must be Ely.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It is right. Very well done indeed. That's all it had to be.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Yes!
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- 41.- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:34:00 > 0:34:02That's a good punt to take, Louise and Amanda.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Sees you comfortably through to the final.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- 2-0 after only two questions. - Yeah, very well played.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Yeah, the Ely Eel Festival.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I have to say, though, it's an unusual punt to take
0:34:11 > 0:34:13when the boys had, so demonstrably, got theirs wrong.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15THEY LAUGH
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- I think I would have just gone for jellied eels if I were you.- I know.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20You took a big risk. Jellied eels, of course, is right.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Would have scored you 76.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I love that everyone thinks, "I know nothing about eels,"
0:34:24 > 0:34:26then the second question comes up, they go,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29"Name commonly given to young eels," and say, "Good. I know that one.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- "That's elver." Then it goes, "before becoming elvers."- Yeah.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- You think, "You're kidding me!"- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:34:34 > 0:34:36They're called glass eels before that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37That would have scored you five points.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Now the British overseas territory, like Ely, it's got eel in its name.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- It's Anguilla.- Oh.- Anguilla. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Tristan da Cunha is named after Tristan da Cunha, I think.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50He was a Portuguese sailor, he was the guy who found it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Fond of eels, of course, but he was...
0:34:53 > 0:34:54LAUGHTER
0:34:54 > 0:34:56..just a man. It was only in the 18th century
0:34:56 > 0:34:59they worked out that eels were fish. Naturalists didn't know before that.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- They thought they were sea serpents, before that?- They thought they were
0:35:02 > 0:35:05sort of worms. Like some kind of earthworm. Slightly misplaced.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07And the region in the North Atlantic...
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- ..is the Sargasso Sea.- It is the Sargasso Sea, yep. 14 points.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Thank you very much, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the end
0:35:13 > 0:35:16of the head-to-head round, I'm sorry to say, is Jack and Tom.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18The second time you've made it through to the head-to-head
0:35:18 > 0:35:21and I'm afraid the second time you've left the head-to-head
0:35:21 > 0:35:22without a point to your board.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- I'm so sorry, but it's been great having you on both shows.- Thanks.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Thanks for playing, Jack and Tom.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:29 > 0:35:33But, for Louise and Amanda, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Congratulations, Louise and Amanda.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40You've fought off all the competition
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,500.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE
0:35:55 > 0:35:57ALL: Ooh!
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Well, that's quite a nice jackpot, suddenly.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Very, very convincing win in the head-to-head there. Congratulations.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Anything in particular you'd like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Literature?- Yeah.- History, politics maybe?- Maybe something...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- some politics, prize-winners, that kind of thing.- Films. Yeah.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Stuff like that.- Mm.- OK, as you know, you get to choose
0:36:15 > 0:36:17from the four options we put up on the board.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- I think...- Maybe European triumphs.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Maybe, cos you're good at history. - But then...
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- BOTH: Works inspired by World War I. - Maybe not so much?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Maybe they would...- I only really know of war poets.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Maybe we would know more about European triumphs on American soil.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Yeah, not music.- OK.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46They're not great.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48OK. Let's go with that. We will go with that, yeah.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- You're going to go with? - European triumphs on American soil.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53European triumphs on American soil. Richard?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57OK, three sporting questions for you here. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- We are looking for...- Oh! - QUIET LAUGHTER
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Any European man who's won the US Open tennis title
0:37:03 > 0:37:06from 1968 through to the 2013 tournament.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09We're looking for any European winner of the Masters,
0:37:09 > 0:37:10which I believe you've been to.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Or we're looking for any European winner of any Grand Prix
0:37:13 > 0:37:14held in the United States of America.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Any F1 Grand Prix held there since 1959.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19So European winners of the US tennis Open,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21European winners of the Masters,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and US Grand Prix winners, Europeans as well.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Very best of luck.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yeah, very, very best of luck with that.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:31 > 0:37:33is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Are you ready?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- No.- No!
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Erm, yep.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41OK, well, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Your time starts now.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44- OK.- We know. I mean, European,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- that's tricky.- Just think of...
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I'm thinking of lots of Masters.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Dead people?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Trevor Immelman is South African
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- and then there's...- European, though?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Where does Vijay Singh come from? - Got no idea.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56- Nicklaus?- Jack Nicklaus?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58No, he's... Where's he from?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00He's American.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Who's the Scottish one that we were thinking of?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Can't think. I just can't... Ooh, what about French?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Who's a French golfer, that's won the Masters?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Erm...
0:38:10 > 0:38:11I can't do it.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12I honestly don't know any.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Oh, US Grand Prix, erm...
0:38:14 > 0:38:15I don't know. Michael...
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Michael Schumacher?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Michael Schumacher, Jackie Stewart
0:38:19 > 0:38:21and Nigel Mansell.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23They're three drivers. I don't... I don't know.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Lewis Hamilton, where's he from? - He's English.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26- Oh, OK. Let's go for them.- OK.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Yeah? At least will have an answer.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- OK.- OK.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Just the golfer. The Scottish one?
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Ten seconds left.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35There's one Scottish golfer that's won the Masters.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- I cannot remember his name.- I don't know.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- I don't know anything about golf.- Oh!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42That's terrible. OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44OK, that's your minute up.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46What three answers can you give me?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Erm, European winners of the US Grand Prix.- OK, yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53We're going to go for Michael Schumacher.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Michael Schumacher.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56- Nigel Mansell.- Nigel Mansell.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- And Lewis Hamilton.- And Lewis Hamilton.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- They're all really bad. - They're rubbish.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05- Oh, no!- Erm...- Mm.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Lewis Hamilton?- Lewis Hamilton we put last.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Michael Schumacher. - Michael Schumacher.- Yep.- Yep.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17And here they are.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Well, very best of luck.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- That was a tough one for you, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Let's hope one of those answers just might be pointless. You never know.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31If it were to be, you would win £3,500,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33which is a great jackpot to be going home with.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35What would you do with that, Louise?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I think we... Well, I would travel.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I think we would go together to Bali. That's our plan.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Very good. OK, well, best of luck, as I say.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Your first answer, Michael Schumacher. In all three cases
0:39:46 > 0:39:49we were looking for European winners of American Grand Prix.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Let's see if Michael Schumacher is right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Let's see how many people said it.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55For £3,500, is it pointless?
0:39:57 > 0:39:58- AMANDA WHISPERS:- What do you think?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Well, it's right.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04It's right. If Michael Schumacher takes us all the way down to 0,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06you leave here with £3,500.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Down it goes through the 20s, into the teens. Still going.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- It's 14. I see. - APPLAUSE
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- A surprise.- Not bad.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- 14. That's not bad.- That's not bad. - It's not a bad score by any stretch.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Uh-huh.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- It's not pointless though.- No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Your next answer was Nigel Mansell. Going back a little bit there.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Hoping maybe people had forgotten about Nigel Mansell.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's hope it's a correct answer, then let's hope nobody said it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35If both of those things happen, you leave with £3,500.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36How many people said Nigel Mansell?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Ooh! I'm afraid not Nigel Mansell.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- Never a victor in the US, I'm guessing.- Aye.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Your third and final answer was Lewis Hamilton.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54This was the one you thought was probably your best shot
0:40:54 > 0:40:57at a pointless answer.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58- We'll discover. - THEY LAUGH
0:40:58 > 0:41:01It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win
0:41:01 > 0:41:04that jackpot. For £3,500, how many people said Lewis Hamilton?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It's right.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Well, Michael Schumacher, your first answer,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12took us all the way down to 14.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Your second answer, Nigel Mansell, was incorrect, but Lewis Hamilton...
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Oh!- Oh!- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Well, you did very well in the face of a really challenging board there.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:27 > 0:41:31pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,500.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33That, of course, will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34But what a... What a performance.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37You can certainly leave with your heads held high.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Very, very well done. And you get a Pointless trophy
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- to take home as well, so good for you.- Right.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43APPLAUSE
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Oh.- Unlucky. I thought the golf question was going to be
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- perfect for you.- No.- Sorry, it wasn't. You were asking about
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- the Scottish golfer who won it. - Uh-huh.- That would have scored
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- eight points. It was Sandy Lyle. - Oh, yeah.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Because there's only seven European names on there.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Still wasn't pointless.- There's only one pointless answer on the golf one.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02I know lots of people have encyclopedic knowledges
0:42:02 > 0:42:05of all of these subjects, so well done if you got some of these at home.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Let's take a look at the winners of the US Open.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10You could have had Ilie Nastase or Manuel Orantes.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12They both won it in the '70s. Both very good answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15And Marat Safin who won it in 2000. Another very good answer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17They are the only pointless answers there.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19As I say, only seven Europeans have won the Masters up to 2014 and
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Jose Maria Olazabal was a pointless answer.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You would have thought he was one of the more famous ones.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27But it's a terrific answer. Well done if you said it.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29And the winners of the Grand Prix. There's a few more of these.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Clay Regazoni, good answer. Francois Cevert.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35You could have had Jochen Rindt. You could have had Keke Rosberg.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37You also could have had John Watson, who won it twice.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Michele Alboreto also won it twice. And Ronnie Peterson.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Very well done if you said any of those.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- having you on the show.- Thank you. - Thank you.- Thank you for playing.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Louise and Amanda, very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, Louise and Amanda didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:42:55 > 0:42:59it rolls over on to the next show when we will be playing for £4,500.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01ALL: Ooh!
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
