0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and a warm welcome to Pointless, the game where we are always
0:00:26 > 0:00:29aiming for the lowest score. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- And couple number one.- Hello, my name is Arthur. This is Kerry-Ann.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41We're father and daughter and we're from Carlisle in Cumbria.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- I'm Alex and this is my friend Sam from Sussex.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47And we're both university students from Sheffield.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Pat.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52This is my husband, Chris, and we're from Woking in Surrey.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Sarah, this is Dom. We're from Dudley and we're friends and colleagues.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, we'll find out more about you
0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10His new aftershave, Osmosis, can be
0:01:10 > 0:01:13purchased on any weeknight or weekend day from his garage.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Take it from me, it's pretty alluring.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hey, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.- How are you?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- We should do an aftershave. - Oh, we should.- Smell of Pointless.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It'd be quite nice, wouldn't it? - Yeah. It might be.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- The Red Line by Armstrong.- Ah! - It'd be nice, wouldn't it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We've got three new pairs today, only one pair coming back,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39that's Dom and Sarah. And last time they got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And they joined the 200 Club in Round Two.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Now, Round One today, I think, is a cracker.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Lots of people are going to have fun coming up with answers for Round One.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49OK. Well, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, Nick and Martin didn't win the jackpot last time so we add
0:01:52 > 0:01:57another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £3,500.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10OK, I'm just going to remind everyone that the pair
0:02:10 > 0:02:14with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:20 > 0:02:21LAUGHTER
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Four-letter words.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Four-letter words. Can you decide in your pairs
0:02:25 > 0:02:28who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Four-letter words contain the letter Z, Richard.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49We are looking for any four-letter word that has its own entry
0:02:49 > 0:02:52in the Oxford Dictionary Of English, please, that has the letter Z in it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We won't accept, as usual, proper nouns, trademarks,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57hyphenated words, that sort of thing, but we also won't allow
0:02:57 > 0:03:00plurals in this round, otherwise there'd be millions.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Just four-letter words that have Z somewhere - at the front,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06in the middle, at the end, wherever you like. Somewhere in there.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Thank you very much. Arthur, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Tell us what you do up in Carlisle. How beautiful, I love Carlisle.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I'm retired now.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I was 32 years a police officer and then I worked for
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Cumbria Magistrates' Court Service and the only job I have now,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I work on match days at our local professional football club.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Carlisle United.- Carlisle United.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Were you always a fan of Carlisle United?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- I was, indeed, man and boy.- Lovely.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- That's a lovely job, isn't it? - It is. I thoroughly enjoy it. - Wonderful.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- Now, these four-letter words with Z in.- Yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Well, the only one I can think of straight off the top of my head,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and I hope I do this throughout the programme is zeal.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Zeal, says Arthur. Zeal. Let's see if that's right,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54let's see how many of our 100 people said zeal.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58It's right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07That is a great answer, Arthur. Very well done indeed.
0:04:07 > 0:04:098 for zeal.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Great energy or enthusiasm, you know the sort of thing.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Or a showbiz seal.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Zeal. It's also the German word for seal.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21LAUGHTER
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Very good. OK. Now, Alex, welcome. Great to have you here.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25What do you do, Alex?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I work as an international students officer in a students' union.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31And what does that particularly involve?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So, basically, I got elected at the end of my time at university
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to kind of help campaign and represent that group.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Despite my English accent, I'm actually half German.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Right. So, where did you grow up? - Not an easy one.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I kind of grew up in the Middle East quite a lot
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and then I moved to the Netherlands. And then I came here to study.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Wow. OK.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So, what brought you to Sheffield, particularly, to study, then?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm not sure. I think it was quite high up the league tables.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Well, it's a lovely place. - Yeah, I'm lucky.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I'm a cyclist and I like the outdoors
0:04:59 > 0:05:01so being right on the Peak District is perfect.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Excellent. So, Alex, what are you going to go for?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, I can think of a couple but I'm not sure if some of them
0:05:07 > 0:05:11are actually legit so I think I'm going to go with daze.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Daze, says Alex. Let's see if daze is right,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- 31 for daze. - APPLAUSE
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Yeah, it's a big scorer.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I think people are terrified in these rounds that things
0:05:33 > 0:05:37aren't words, even things that are absolutely self-evidently words.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40But, yeah, daze is a fairly hefty scorer, I'm afraid.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK. Now, Chris, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44What do you do, Chris?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I work for a company that makes software for call centres.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48What do you do in your spare time?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I like to play a bit of golf, I play some bridge
0:05:51 > 0:05:52and I go to the horse racing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Now, how seriously do take your bridge?- Very seriously.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Over the years I've been my county chairman of the committee
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- for five years, as well.- That's very serious. Which county's that?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Surrey.- The Surrey County Chairman.- Indeed.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08But that's also a county where everybody plays bridge.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10If you had to pick a county...
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Yeah, that would be the hardest one to be chair of, wouldn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15After Madison County, that's the biggest one for bridges,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- isn't it?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20There we go.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Now, Chris?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Yeah, I'm going to go for a slightly risky one
0:06:24 > 0:06:28that I think I remember from my days playing Scrabble. Which is zebu.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Z-E-B-U.- Zebu, says Chris.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Oh, you're pleased with that, aren't you?- I will be if it's right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Let's find out if zebu is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Excellent.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I think I can feel the jackpot swelling for this.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49And down it goes...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- 1! - APPLAUSE
0:06:52 > 0:06:54There was one Scrabble player in our 100 there.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Chris, that's a great score, though, zebu.- Yeah, well played, Chris.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's like the dream round for Scrabble players, isn't it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Because the one thing you need to know in Scrabble is how to pay
0:07:05 > 0:07:08your Zs, so Scrabble players know all their Z words and their Q words.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09And, zebu, type of ox.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11A type of ox.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Yeah.- That's nice. - It is. But it's a killer ox.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, that's nasty.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's the most bad-tempered animal on the planet.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, no.- Yeah, yeah, kills everything in its path.- Oh, dear.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29It's very, very sad for the other wildlife.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- And, yeah, you thought they were cute.- Well, there we go.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The zebu. ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Now, then. Sarah. - Hello.- Welcome back.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- So, yes, 200 Club last time.- Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Let's put that behind us. Let's put that behind us.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Remind us what you do, I'm sorry to bring this up again.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50We're admin assistants for the local council.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Which department do you do the admin for?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- BOTH:- Parking.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, basically it's fines.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You chase up people who haven't paid their fines.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01How long is your shift? I mean, how long...
0:08:01 > 0:08:05"I've got to put up with angry people for..." how many hours?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- About eight hours. - Argh, eight hours?!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11What do you then do to get it out of your system?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Just leaving is good. Just leaving the office.- That does it?- Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Have you ever left and found you've got a ticket?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19That would be... That would be frustrating.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Oh, I would be zebu-cross if that happened. I would... Gr-rr!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- What are you going to go for, Sarah? - I think I'm going to go for haze.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29H-A-Z-E.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31OK, we've had daze, we've now got haze.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Daze did 31, let's see what haze can do.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- 33 for haze. - APPLAUSE
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yeah, another very big scorer, I'm afraid, haze.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54There's lots of words here that you'll know that would have scored
0:08:54 > 0:08:55a lot less than 33, I promise.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Thank you. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Let's look at the scores.
0:08:59 > 0:09:011, the best score of that pass, Chris's zebu.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Very well done, indeed.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Up to 8 where we find Arthur and Kerry-Ann,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06then up to 31 where we find Alex and Sam
0:09:06 > 0:09:10and then up to 33 where we find Sarah and Dom.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12You're the high-scorers now but that might all change.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Dom, we need a nice low-scoring answer from you. Best of luck.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16We're going to come back down the line now,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22So, Dom,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24remember we're looking for any four-letter word
0:09:24 > 0:09:28in the Oxford Dictionary Of English that contains one or more Z in it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Now, Dom, remind us what you do.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- I work with Sarah in parking. - Exactly the same job.- Yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And what do you do apart from that, Dom?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I've got a dog so I like to walk him a lot and we go
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and see a lot of live music, as well.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Lots of live bands.- Excellent.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Alter Bridge we discovered last time. A favourite of yours.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- And Avenged Sevenfold is Sarah's. - Well remembered.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57So thrilled that Avenged Sevenfold has come up twice.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Avenged Sevenfold gets a lot of publicity on this show.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Avenged Sevenfold.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Who's your favourite member of Avenged Sevenfold?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Synyster Gates.- Synyster Gates?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Yeah, me, too.- Synyster Gates.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Who's your favourite member...? - Oh, shut up.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17No, that's his name. He's called O Shutup. He's the drummer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20My favourite member, I like Zacky Vengeance.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yeah? Big fan.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Zacky Vengeance.- Yeah, Zackary Vengeance.- Yeah.- To his mum.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30He's Zackary Vengeance III, is Zacky Vengeance.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK. So, now, Dom,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- you're the high-scorers on 33. - Mm-hm.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39We need something that's going to score low to keep you in the game.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Don't know whether it will score low
0:10:41 > 0:10:44but I want it to be right so I'm going to go with zone.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Zone, says Dom. No red line for you as you're the highest-scorers
0:10:47 > 0:10:49but let's see how far down the column we go with zone.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- 57, your total.- Why would someone who works in parking go for zone?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Where did I get that from? - Zone, it can be all sorts of things.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Could be a restricted zone, could be a no-parking zone,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17could be all sorts of things.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Don't park in it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21OK, thank you very much.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Now, Pat, welcome, great to have you here. What do you do, Pat?
0:11:25 > 0:11:30I'm a marketing director for the world's largest theatre group.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31So that keeps me busy.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Now, that's fun. Based in London, is that?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Based in London and throughout the UK
0:11:35 > 0:11:38and we've just bought the largest theatre on Broadway.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So, we've put in a flag for us Brits on Broadway.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Fantastic. And are you in charge of bringing shows in?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's more sort of talking to audiences, saying, "Hey,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52"this is theatre, come enjoy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- That's kind of... That's the core of it.- What seems to be the trend?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Are more people going, are we on an upward trend?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02They are. Yeah, absolutely. Year on year, absolutely.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Something like 15 million people come
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and see a show just in London alone.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And twice that in the rest of the country.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- So, yeah, it's very healthy.- Good.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Well, also very healthy is your score of 1.- Yes.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Courtesy of Chris/zebu.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21If you can score 55 or less
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- you are guaranteed a place in the next round.- OK.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I was going to go for a risky one but I'm not going to.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'm going for something that's one of my favourite things,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32which is fizz.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33- Fizz.- Yeah.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36OK, there is your red line. Let's see if it's right,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38let's see how many of our 100 people said fizz.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43It's right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46And you're through.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- 17. - APPLAUSE
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Takes your total up to 18,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55the lowest score so far.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Yeah, effervescence, bubbles of gas, or, as you say,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00another word for champagne.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sam, welcome.- Hi.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Great to have you here, Sam. And what do you do?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm currently doing a Masters
0:13:08 > 0:13:10in international development at the University of Sussex.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12OK, so you left Sheffield, when - last year?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Yeah, I graduated in the summer and then I moved back home.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Moved back home.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Are you living on campus or do you...?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- No, I grew up around there so I live at home.- Very good.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25And what do you do in your spare time, Sam?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I have a bit of a weird, like, unnatural obsession with football,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33sort of playing, writing about it, thinking about it, you know.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- OK, so you write, what, you have a blog?- Kind of, yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- That sort of thing.- OK.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Listen, there you are. You're on 31.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45High-scorers at the moment on 57 are Dom and Sarah
0:13:45 > 0:13:46so 25 or less gets you through.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50OK, I'm going to go for ooze.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Ooze. Ooze, says Sam. OK, here's your red line.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59If you can get below that with ooze you're in Round Two.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Let's see if you can.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Well done. Good answer, there, Sam.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well done, 12. Takes your total up to 43.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Well played, Sam, absolutely.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20To trickle slowly out of something, as in the zebu
0:14:20 > 0:14:22watched the blood ooze out of its latest victim.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Thank you very much indeed. Now, then, Kerry-Ann, welcome.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Welcome, what do you do, Kerry-Ann?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Data visualisation of long-term clean energy trends.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38LAUGHTER
0:14:38 > 0:14:39One more time? Data visualisation...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Data visualisation of long-term clean energy trends.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And is data visualisation the idea of if you present things visually
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- they become more easily understandable than...- Exactly.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Which is amazing.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54There's some extraordinary books that just show statistics but in picture form.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That is amazing. When did you start doing it?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Thank you. Oh...six weeks ago. - Oh, really? Very, very new.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Yeah, yeah.- Wow, and what are you visualising for the next few years?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- All looking good?- No free time, a lot of work, but good.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Is the Kerry-Ann graph growing? - Oh, world domination.- Good, good.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11That was essentially where I was getting to, yes.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Tomorrow, the world.- Exactly. - Good. OK, well, listen,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15there you are. You're on 8.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16The high score is still Dom and Sarah,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- they're on 57, so 48 or less puts you through.- OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's a little bit risky because I'm sure out of here,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25you would think it was an obvious word
0:15:25 > 0:15:27but in here I'm not sure any more. Zany.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- Zany?- Yeah.- OK.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Now, there is your red line.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32If you get below that, obviously, you are in Round Two.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's see how many people said zany..
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well done, you're through. Good answer.
0:15:43 > 0:15:4511.
0:15:47 > 0:15:5011 takes your total up to 19.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Yeah, very good answer. It comes originally from the clowns
0:15:53 > 0:15:56in Italian theatre, and that became zany, somehow,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58just that kind of unconventional amusingness.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Have you been thinking of an answer?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I have. I've got one. I think it...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Furz. F-U-R-Z.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think it's a sort of material, I think?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, you can certainly have furze, F-U-R-Z-E, can't you?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That's a very common word.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15But F-U-R-Z, I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- not in the dictionary.- Oh, no.- Yeah.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Oh, no. - So that's 100 points for you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Oh, I'm out. Listen, I am out. - LAUGHTER
0:16:21 > 0:16:24And if you were your own team-mate, do you have another one?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- No, I'm... Zinc? I'll give you zinc, maybe.- Zinc is not a bad answer.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Zinc would have scored you 22 points.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, just about keep me in the game.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well, no, cos you'd get 122 cos of furz.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- LAUGHTER - Oh, you're right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Let's take a look...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42As I say, haze and daze were both pretty big scorers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44You know, haze was 33. Hazy would have been 13,
0:16:44 > 0:16:45would have been a great answer
0:16:45 > 0:16:48but there's lots of pointless answers as well. Let's take a look at a few,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and then I'll go through some of the low scorers.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52There's some good words around.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Lutz, which figure skating people will know, cos it's a jump.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Orzo, which is a type of pasta.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Oyez, that's how you spell oyez, you know, that a town crier would do.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04"Oyez, oyez, oyez." That's O-Y-E-Z.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Phiz, which is another name for the face or the facial expression.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Prez, which is in the dictionary -
0:17:10 > 0:17:12it's just a shortened term of president.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15A putz, which is... particularly in America,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17if you're calling someone a fool, they're a putz.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Ritz is a good answer.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Ziti, that's another type of pasta,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25and zizz, to mean to have a short sleep.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Take a look at some smaller... I mean, 2 points for mazy,
0:17:28 > 0:17:312 points for ouzo, which would have been a really good answer.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And czar - of course, there's a way to spell czar, C-Z-A-R.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36That's 3 points. Dozy would have scored you 3 points.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Jeez - that would have scored you 4.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41We'll take a look at the top three, we've already seen two of them.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Daze, the third-biggest scorer of all, 31.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51There's haze, 33, and top of the shop, maze, 39.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Thank you very much, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56the pair who are heading home with their high score of 57,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm afraid, Dom and Sarah, that is you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It was a tough round. You did much better than I did.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- LAUGHTER - But I'm afraid this is where we have
0:18:03 > 0:18:06to say goodbye. It's been great having you on both shows.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Thanks so much for playing, Dom and Sarah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And so, three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well, very well done, Pat and Chris.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Lowest individual score there with zebu,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and lowest combined score, which was excellent.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And then, Arthur and Kerri Anne,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33just one up from them, with their combined score of 19,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and then up to Alex and Sam, who were a little bit lucky there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38But best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:46 > 0:18:48who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Mononyms. Richard?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yeah, we're going to give you six clues on each pass, to famous people,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07real or fictional, who are usually known by just one name - a mononym.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You just have to tell us who they are, please.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Give us the most obscure answer, score the fewest points.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at, at home.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK, so what's the single name by which these people are known?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Here's our first board of six...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Arthur, over to you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12I'll choose, please, King of the Franks, and I'll say Charlemagne.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Charlemagne, says Arthur. Let's see if Charlemagne's right,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and let's see how many people said it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It's right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Good answer, Arthur - 9.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Great start to the round.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Well played, Arthur, the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- His dad was called Pippin the Short. - Pippin the Short?- Yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41LAUGHTER
0:20:41 > 0:20:42- Sam...- Hi.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44What are you going to go for?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I'm struggling a bit, to be honest,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50but I think the singer who released Kiss From A Rose is Seal.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Seal, says Sam. Let's see if Seal is right,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and let's see how many people said Seal.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59He's right.
0:21:02 > 0:21:0552 for Seal. Big score there.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yeah, 52, and the nice thing is,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11also, we know what his name is in German.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Pat, the board's all yours.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Talk us through it if you can.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Erm, well, I think the Brazilian footballer is Pele.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The Indian nationalist leader is Gandhi.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Erm, the American talk-show host is Oprah, I think,
0:21:31 > 0:21:36and I'm completely doubting my sanity, having read Moby Dick,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39whether to risk going for the narrator of it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43So I might be a coward and play safe, and say Oprah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Oprah, says Pat.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47For fun, tell us what you would have said.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Erm...I would have said Ishmael.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Let's see what Oprah scores.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Let's see how money people said Oprah.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04It's right. Well, 52 is our highest score,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and you pass it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0834 for Oprah. Very well done.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13You see, it is interesting
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- what Pointless does to the brain, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Cos you know them, but what are
0:22:17 > 0:22:18the first three words of Moby Dick?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Are "Call me Ishmael." - "Call me Ishmael."
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, so it is Ishmael, would have scored you 7 points.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Best answer on the board, Ishmael. But you... Your brain, you know,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29your brain doesn't trust itself sometimes, when you're up there.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32People don't understand that, I think. You're right about Pele.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36He'd have been a big scorer, would have scored you 57,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and you were right about Gandhi as well.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Would have scored you slightly fewer - would have scored you 48.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Let's look at those scores. 9, the best score of the pass,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well done, Arthur. Arthur and Kerry-Ann looking very strong
0:22:48 > 0:22:50at this point. Then, up to 34, where we find Pat and Chris.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51And 52, Sam and Alex.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So, Alex, let's hope there's a really good answer
0:22:54 > 0:22:56on that board you know, and you can score as low as you can
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and maybe that'll keep you in the game.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09OK, let's put six more clues up on the board, and here they are...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00There we are. Chris.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well, there's a couple up there I think I know.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Erm, a few of them, I think will be quite big scores as well,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08so I think I'm going to punt for the eponymous hero of
0:24:08 > 0:24:11the comic book about a Gaulish village resisting Roman rule,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- and I think it's Asterix. - Asterix, says Chris.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16You want to be scoring 17 or less with that.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Here's your Red Line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:2929 for Asterix.
0:24:30 > 0:24:3163, your total.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Yeah, good answer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38In 2013 in France, Asterix was the only book that outsold the...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- the Fifty Shades trilogy. - Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Now, Alex, there you are. You're on 52.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The high-scorers, on 63 at the moment, are Pat and Chris.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51If you can score 10 or less, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I know a few of them and I know I have to score low,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58so I'm going to go for something that I think I remember
0:24:58 > 0:25:01from a module all the way back in first year,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05and the Greek classical philosopher, I believe is Socrates.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Socrates, says Alex. Socrates. Here's your Red Line.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11If Socrates can get you below that Red Line,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14you are in the head-to-head. Let's see if it can.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Oh, I'm sorry, Alex. I'm afraid, an incorrect answer there,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24scoring you 100 points, takes your total to 152.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Sorry.- Sorry, Alex, not a bad try
0:25:26 > 0:25:28but I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Thanks very much, indeed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Now, then, Kerry-Ann,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34the board is all yours and you are through to the next round,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37by the way. Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Erm, I'll try. The English singer, I believe, is Morrissey.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I know nothing about wrestling.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I think the Greek philosopher was Plato.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Erm, it's Houdini,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49and I can't remember for the life of me
0:25:49 > 0:25:52the name of the hunchback of Notre Dame.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'm going to play it safe and say...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Morrissey, because that's all we need to do.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59OK, Morrissey, let's see how many people said Morrissey.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01No Red Line, you're already through.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06It's right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:1250.
0:26:12 > 0:26:1559, your total. Lowest total of the round.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yeah, well played. It's all you had to do.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And Plato is the right answer, actually. Plato was the student of
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Socrates, so not a bad answer, but it was Plato who founded the Academy.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Would have been a good answer - would have scored you 22 points.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29The...the escapologist was Houdini.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Would have scored you 29.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Now, the fictional hunchback, you will know it...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36It's Quasimodo.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Would have scored you 45,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42and the best answer on the board is the wrestler, and that is Kane.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Well done if you said Kane, at home - would have scored you 12 points.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Thanks very much, indeed.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:50 > 0:26:51with their high score of
0:26:51 > 0:26:54152, Alex and Sam. I'm so sorry.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56So nearly right, there, but good news,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59we get to see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Meantime, thanks very much, Alex and Sam.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06But for Pat and Chris, Arthur and Kerry-Ann,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Congratulations, Arthur and Kerry-Ann, Pat and Chris, you're now
0:27:17 > 0:27:19one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22which currently stands at £3,500.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25CHEERING
0:27:26 > 0:27:29This has been so close.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31So, yes, and now you can put your heads together and play as teams.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I think it's going to be very hard to separate you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35It's going to be very close, indeed.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41APPLAUSE
0:27:43 > 0:27:46OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51The Limericks of Edward Lear. Richard?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Yeah, we're going to show you the first two lines
0:27:53 > 0:27:54of a series of limericks by Edward Lear,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56but we've left out a place name in each of them.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Can you fill in the place names, please?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02OK, let's reveal our limericks with missing place names,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04and here they are. We've got...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40There we go. Now, Arthur and Kerry-Ann,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I've no idea. I think just pick one.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It's got to be something rhyming, hasn't it?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51We really don't know. We're guessing.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56We're thinking of places that rhyme with the second line,
0:28:56 > 0:29:02and we're going to say there was an old person of Gretna,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04who rushed down the crater of Etna.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Gretna, say Arthur and Kerry-Ann.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Gretna. Now, Pat and Chris, talk us through that board.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Well, I think we're much in the same boat.- Yeah.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13I wouldn't say that any of them we knew,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15but we've got guesses for most of them.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17We also had Gretna for Etna.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Erm, there was a young lady of Wales,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21we were thinking was a possibility.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Perhaps Dorking, to ring with walking?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27At the bottom, perhaps Turkey to rhyme with murky.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It's... As I say, it's very much guesswork.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31The one we're going to go for is the fourth one down,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33and hope that the old man, in this case,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- came from Calcutta. - Calcutta, say Pat and Chris.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Calcutta, so we have Gretna versus Calcutta.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Arthur and Kerry-Ann went for Gretna - let's see if that's right
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and let's see how many people said it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Oh...- It's right.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Good answer. 22.
0:29:55 > 0:29:5622 for Gretna.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Meanwhile, Pat and Chris have gone for Calcutta.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Let's see if Calcutta is right,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02and let's see how many people said that.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06It is right.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Will it beat 22?
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Yes, it will.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Down it goes to 10. Very well done, indeed.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Calcutta, 10.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Pat and Chris, you've nicked it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- After one question, you're up 1-0. - Yeah, well played.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I think, between you, you got all of them.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23There was a young lady of Wales
0:30:23 > 0:30:25who caught a large fish without scales -
0:30:25 > 0:30:27that would have scored you 59.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29And there was a young lady of Dorking - quite right -
0:30:29 > 0:30:31who bought a large bonnet for walking.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Would have scored 38. And there
0:30:33 > 0:30:35was a young lady of Turkey who wept
0:30:35 > 0:30:36when the weather was murky,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38which would have scored 44.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Thank you very much, indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Arthur and Kerry-Ann,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:30:44 > 0:30:45so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:49 > 0:30:50The Colour White. Richard?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Yeah, we're going to show you five clues now,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56the answers to which all contain the word white somewhere in them.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Can you tell us what the answers are, please?- OK, thanks very much.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Let's reveal our five clues and here they are...
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Pat and Chris will go first this time.- OK.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49We think we know some of them.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Erm...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Probably the one we're going to
0:31:52 > 0:31:57go for is the Victorian novel...
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- A Woman In White.- A Woman In White, say Pat and Chris.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now, then, Arthur and Kerry-Ann.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Erm...
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It's bad that we have no idea
0:32:09 > 0:32:11what Breaking Bad is, sorry.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Garage rock duo is White Stripes.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16The noise is white noise,
0:32:16 > 0:32:17but we're going to go with
0:32:17 > 0:32:18the Golden Girls,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- which is the fabulous Betty White. - Betty White.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24So, we have The Woman In White, and we have Betty White.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26The Woman In White, said Pat and Chris -
0:32:26 > 0:32:28let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- APPLAUSE - 27.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Arthur and Kerry-Ann,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46meanwhile, have gone for Betty White. Let's see if that's right,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49and let's see how many people said Betty White.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's right.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Well done. Wins you the points. You've broken back.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Arthur and Kerry-Ann, back in the game,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04after two questions, it's 1-1.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Yeah, well played. One answer that would have beaten Betty White,
0:33:07 > 0:33:12and that is the Breaking Bad one - Bryan Cranston plays Walter White.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Would have scored you 5 points.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16The garage rock duo, as you say, is White Stripes,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18would have scored you 25,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21and white noise is the biggest scorer of all, with 61.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Thank you very much, indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for
0:33:28 > 0:33:31that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Classic Brit Awards, Richard. - We're going to show you the names
0:33:36 > 0:33:38of five people now who have won a classic or classical Brit,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41but we've removed alternate letters from their names.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45OK, let's reveal our five classic Brit Award winners,
0:33:45 > 0:33:46and here they are.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Arthur and Kerry-Ann will go first.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19(The second one's Nigel Kennedy, but I don't know any of the others.)
0:34:19 > 0:34:22(Simon...Simon Rattle.)
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Erm, we're going to go for the middle one,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28which we believe could be Simon Rattle.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Simon Rattle, say Arthur and Kerry-Ann.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Pat and Chris, talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Bit of a big ask, I think. Erm...
0:34:37 > 0:34:39We think it's Nigel Kennedy,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42and yeah, absolutely, Simon Rattle.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Ian somebody, possibly, at the bottom.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50And I think, but I could be wrong, but...so it's a point.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Is it Cecilia Bartoli?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Cecilia Bartoli, say Pat and Chris. Cecilia Bartoli.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00So, we have Simon Rattle and Cecilia Bartoli. Arthur and Kerry-Ann
0:35:00 > 0:35:02said Simon Rattle. Let's see how many people said that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07It's right.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13APPLAUSE
0:35:15 > 0:35:1620.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- It's going to be close. - It'll be close.
0:35:18 > 0:35:1920 for Simon Rattle.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Now, then, Pat and Chris have gone for Cecilia Bartoli.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30It's right. Very, very well done, indeed, Pat and Chris.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Cecilia Bartoli wins you the point and gets you into the final.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Takes you down to 2. - CHEERING
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- That's a great answer. - Where did that come from?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43All of which means, Pat and Chris, after three questions,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45you're through to the final, 2-1. Very well done.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Yeah, best answer up there, actually. Couldn't have beaten it.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- The top one is the Welsh singer Bryn Terfel.- Bryn Terfel.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Would have scored you nine points.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56You're right about Nigel Kennedy - but he would have scored you 40.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Do you know the bottom one? - Ian Bostridge.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Ian Bostridge, the English tenor, and he would have scored you 3 points.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Thanks very much, indeed. So the pair leaving us
0:36:05 > 0:36:06at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08our low-scorers, Arthur and Kerry-Ann.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10I'm sorry that we have to say goodbye to you
0:36:10 > 0:36:12but that was a very, very exciting head-to-head,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14as I knew it would be. Great news for us,
0:36:14 > 0:36:15we get to see you again next time.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17We'll look forward to that very much.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Meantime, thanks very much for playing, Arthur and Kerri-Ann.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But for Pat and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Congratulations, Pat and Chris.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34You've fought off all the competition
0:36:34 > 0:36:37and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:44 > 0:36:48and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,500.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52CHEERING
0:36:52 > 0:36:54As you know, in this last round, you get to choose your category
0:36:54 > 0:36:57from the four we put up on the board, so let's hope
0:36:57 > 0:36:59there's something up there we like the look of.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Today's selection looks like this...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13There's nothing there that jumps out at me as being a favourite.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- What's your inkling? - I guess, for me,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17it would be Merseyside Sounds, would probably the one.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20How strong are you on Merseyside Sounds?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I can name a couple of Beatles albums.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25If it's those, we've got a chance.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Go on, then. Go for Merseyside Sounds.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Sounds like Merseyside Sounds. - Merseyside Sounds, it is. Richard?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK, good luck. We're looking for any top 75 single by any
0:37:34 > 0:37:37of the following bands up to the beginning of April 2014.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38We are looking for...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50So, top 75 singles by Gerry And The Pacemakers,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Echo And The Bunnymen, or The Lightning Seeds. Very best of luck.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Thanks very much, indeed. So, as always,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:59 > 0:38:01is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Are you ready?- Yes.- Think so.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10OK, I don't know any Echo And The Bunnymen, so they're out.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Gerry and the pacemakers, I know Ferry Cross The Mersey,
0:38:12 > 0:38:15but The Lightning Seeds... Didn't they do Life Of Riley?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Life of Riley. They did, they did. - What else do they do?- Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I'm sure we had a greatest hits album of theirs at some point.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Erm...- Think, think.- Erm... - I really don't know...
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- ..unfortunately. - What else did they do?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Gerry And The Pacemakers, do we know anything else?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- So, Ferry Cross The Mersey would be the first one.- Yeah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Did they do any covers?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Covers of anything?- Don't remember any others immediately.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- My Way?- I know they had the first three number ones, didn't they?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44All their first three singles went to number one,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46but I can't remember what the other two were.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Erm...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- I can't remember. - I can't remember them either.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53I don't know.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Erm...
0:38:57 > 0:38:5910 seconds left.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00OK, Lightning Seeds.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- We'll just have to make one up for Lightning Seeds.- I don't know.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Yeah, I don't know.- No. I don't know.- Unfortunately...
0:39:07 > 0:39:09OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10What are you going to give me?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13I think we're going to go for Ferry Cross The Mersey...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Ferry Cross The Mersey. - ..by Gerry And The Pacemakers.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Yup.- And for The Lightning Seeds,
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- we'll take The Life Of Riley. - The Life Of Riley.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23And we're a bit stuck for the last one, so we'll make one up
0:39:23 > 0:39:25and say Green for The Lightning Seeds.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Green for The Lightning Seeds. OK, of those three,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32The Life Of Riley is going to be the best one.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- I'm guessing we might put Green first.- The best choice, yes.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board
0:39:36 > 0:39:39in that order, then, and here they are. We've got...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Well, very best of luck. Three good...
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Well, two good answers up there.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48No, three good answers,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50they just may not all be right. That's the point.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54If you were to win that jackpot today - £3,500, nice jackpot -
0:39:54 > 0:39:56what would you do with it, Pat?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00We went to Japan last year, in the typhoon season.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04It wasn't actually meant to be the typhoon season but it was, but we...
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I had an absolutely fantastic time, so we'd love to go back
0:40:07 > 0:40:09and that's what...
0:40:09 > 0:40:10I'd probably do is just kind of blow it
0:40:10 > 0:40:12on a really lovely holiday there.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Lovely. Chris, anything else you want to add to that?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16I'm just hoping she'll take me with her.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Excellent, OK, well, best of luck. - I think I would.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Your first answer, and we were looking in this case,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24for UK top 75 singles by The Lightning Seeds. Green, you said.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Let's just see if that's right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Let's leave it at that.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- No.- Surprise.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Not Green, not a pointless answer.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38However, we now move into the realm of proper answers.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Your next answer was Ferry Cross the Mersey.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43In this case, we were looking for Gerry And The Pacemakers singles.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Let's see if that's right. If it's pointless, you will win £3,500.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48How many people said Ferry Cross The Mersey?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It's right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Your first answer, Green, unsurprisingly, an incorrect answer,
0:40:57 > 0:40:58but Ferry Cross The Mersey,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00now taking us down through the 40s, into the 30s...
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- 33. - APPLAUSE
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Well, it was right. At least it was right.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0733.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10So everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:10 > 0:41:11The Life Of Riley.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13In this case, we're back on Lightning Seeds singles.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Let's see if that's right. If it is pointless, it will win you £3,500.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20How many people said The Life Of Riley?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24It's right.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27So, your first answer, Green, was incorrect.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Your second answer, Ferry Cross The Mersey, took us down to 33.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Your third and final answer, Life Of Riley,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34now taking us into single figures...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Down here... It's a 9. - Well, we got single figures.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Well...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Erm, sadly, no pointless answers among the three, though,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,500.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48That will roll over onto the next show,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50but we've really enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52and thank you so much for playing,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Pat and Chris.- Thank you. - Great contestants.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yeah, I think probably the wrong category choice there.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03That's unlucky. Let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:42:03 > 0:42:06in the different categories. We'll start with Gerry And The Pacemakers.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I'll Be There, I'm The One - that was the number two hit -
0:42:09 > 0:42:10It's Gonna Be All Right and Walk Hand In Hand.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Those were the only four pointless answers there.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Loads and loads of pointless answers for Echo And The Bunnymen.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Bring On The Dancing Horses -
0:42:17 > 0:42:19lots of people at home would have got - Lips Like Sugar.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22They had a great comeback single with Nothing Lasts Forever -
0:42:22 > 0:42:24it was a pointless answer. The Back Of Love. In fact,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27everything apart from The Killing Moon, People Are Strange,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29The Cutter, Silver, and Never Stop, every single other
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Echo And The Bunnymen single was a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Erm, The Lightning Seeds...
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Love the lightning seeds. Life's Too Short was a pointless answer,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Ready Or Not, Sense was a pointless answer, as well - a great song.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43What If was a pointless answer. Also, Sweetest Soul Sensations
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and What You Say - those were all pointless answers.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- Well done if you said any of those at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Pat and Chris,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53but it's been fantastic having you on the show.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Thank you both for playing, Pat and Chris.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Well, sadly they didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:43:02 > 0:43:06rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £4,500.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08CHEERING
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Join us next time - see if someone can win it.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
