0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points
0:00:28 > 0:00:30as you can, and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I'm Jon and this is my good friend Mark.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42We've been friends for over 43 years.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Amy. This is Aisleen and we are friends from Ipswich.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Couple number three.- Yeah, my name is Kris. This is Paul.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We've been mates for about ten years from London originally,
0:00:52 > 0:00:53East and West.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Ailsa.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58This is my boyfriend Martin and we are from Dundee in Scotland.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:06 > 0:01:09as it goes along. That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Smarter than a teenager's mobile, deeper than the Mariana Trench
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and cannier than a Campbell's soup factory.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hey, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- This jackpot is ticking up nicely, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The only team who came back from the last one was Mark and Jon.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32They were beaten by Geoff and Kathy, in that head-to-head.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36So, yeah, only one returning pair. Three new pairs. Nice jackpot.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- What's not to like?- What's not?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- I tell you, two things I did before the show.- Uh-oh.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I drank a bottle of water and a big cup of tea.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46One thing I didn't do.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47LAUGHTER
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Taking a bit of hostage to fortune.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Ooh. So you've taken on a lot of liquid.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I've taken on a lot of liquid. I think I can do it.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- You reckon you can last till 6.00? - I reckon I probably can.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You can.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Oh, I need to talk to you because when I got home last night,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05there was enormous flood in my bathroom.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- There was just... Water was gushing everywhere.- Yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I couldn't believe it. Out of the taps, just whoosh!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14But in some places, kroo, waterfalls of the stuff.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I've been to waterfalls. I went to Victoria Falls. It's beautiful.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Have you ever been?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- No, I haven't.- Just gallons of water just plunging over precipices.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Absolutely extraordinary. Really, really is.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Thanks very much.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Really, thanks very much indeed. - Oh, such a pleasure.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So, Geoff and Kathy didn't win the jackpot last time which means
0:02:32 > 0:02:36we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot start off at...
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Now that's getting very exciting.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK. If everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50OK. Now remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:50 > 0:02:52at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You will just have to make sure you are not in that pair.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Our first category today is...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- who's going to the second? - Doesn't matter really, does it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Shared Surnames. Richard.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We're going to give you seven pairs of people on each board.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22They all share a common surname.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Can you tell us what their surnames are, please?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28There's going to be 14 in all to have a good time. Very best of luck.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29OK. So we're looking for the surnames
0:03:29 > 0:03:32shared by each of these seven people. Here is our first board.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Jon. So remind us what you do, Jon. - I'm a tiler. Wall and floor tiling.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Wall and floor tiling. Do you prefer wall or floor?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- If you had to.- Wall tiling is a bit easier on the knees, Alexander.- OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So, Jon. What are you going to go for on this board?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I think I know about four of them.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'll go for the British philosopher and Women In Love director,
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Russells.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Bertrand and Ken Russell.- Very good indeed. Russell, says Jon.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59It's right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:0660. I mean, who knows, maybe that's not a terrible score.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09We'll see what everyone else scores. 60 gets the ball rolling.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Yeah, not a bad answer but a pretty big score, I have to say.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I think perhaps because people who know either of them it's...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17But, yeah, you would have thought that would have scored
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- slightly fewer.- Hm.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Thanks very much. Now, Amy. - Hello.- Welcome to the show.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Here from Ipswich. What you do up in Ipswich?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I work for a recruitment agency as a project manager.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29And what are your hobbies?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What do you like doing in your non-recruiting time?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34When I'm not at work, I go to the gym a lot
0:05:34 > 0:05:38and I also do a lot of baking, which means I have to go to the gym a lot.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- What's the most difficult thing you bake?- Erm...
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I baked a cake last week in the shape of a handbag,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46which was for my mum's birthday cake.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49That was quite difficult, but I tend to make them quite easy.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Mum was delighted, I bet.- She was. Exactly. It made her happy, so...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Good. That's all that counts.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now, Amy, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'm thinking I'm going to go for
0:05:59 > 0:06:01comic actor Oliver
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and Jude The Obscure author, Thomas Hardy and Oliver Hardy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Oliver Hardy, Thomas Hardy. Let's see how many people said that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Well, 60 is what we got for Russell. You've passed that.- Ooh, yay.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Wow, you really do pass that. Look at that - 36 for the Hardys.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm pleased with that.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Yeah, well played. Very good answer, Amy.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Here's another person, Oliver Hardy,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27who has a misquoted catchphrase that people say he says,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30"That's another fine mess you got me into." And he doesn't.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34He says, "Another nice mess you've got me into." Not another fine mess.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Paul, welcome.- Thank you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Good to have you here. What you do, Paul?- I'm a London bus driver.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42What is your route?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, I do a few different routes,
0:06:44 > 0:06:50but I suppose the 149 which goes to London Bridge, 243 to Waterloo.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53At the moment, I currently enjoy the 123 which goes to Ilford
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- which doesn't go... - Easy to remember.- Yeah, that one is.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It has that advantage. Now then, Paul,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Erm... Yeah, I know a few of them.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The one I was going to go for is gone.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I think I'm going to go for the second one from the bottom there,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10the X Factor finalist, Ray,
0:07:10 > 0:07:11and Radio 4 PM and Today
0:07:11 > 0:07:13presenter Karen Quinn.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Quinn, says Paul. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Quinn.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well, 60 is our high score. 36 our low.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26You've past the high, you've passed the low.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Look at that, down we go.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- New low score of 20. Well done, Paul.- Whoo!
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Good answer. Good moves.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Well played, Paul. Very good answer.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I think anyone who ever comes to London, for any city,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39the bus is the way to see a city, isn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Yeah.- Absolutely is.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I love it. I've got any journey, cos you can look out the window.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Mm.- You can't look out the window on the Tube. Well, you can, but...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- You're not going to see much. - You're seeing a tunnel, right?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51If you like tunnels, then it is good.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Actually, if you like tunnels, you going to find it disappointing
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- because they are very hard to see. - That is true. So go on the bus.- Yeah.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'd go with the bus. I'd go with the bus.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Thank you very much indeed. Now, then, Ailsa, welcome.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Here from Dundee.- Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- What do you do, Ailsa?- I'm an art teacher.- Who do teach art to?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Secondary pupils.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Are they lovely?- Yes, they're all very lovely.- I bet they love art.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I mean, art...art lessons at school are always just...
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm not saying they were a doss, I'm just saying
0:08:19 > 0:08:23they were really good fun after the hard work of other things.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Nice to use the other side of the brain.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And, you know, nice to be able to muck about
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- with a paintbrush as well.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And what are your hobbies aside from that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I like to do a lot of musical theatre.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah, do a lot of shows a year. That's really good fun.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38So you are part of a club that puts on shows?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Yeah, a part of a few clubs, yeah. - And what sort of shows do you do?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Musicals or operas or...? - Musicals, yeah. Musicals.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Anyway, you're the last person to have this board, Ailsa.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?- Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I think maybe the top one is Ford.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And I think the bottom one might be Hart.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I think I might go for the conservative MP
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and the Slumdog Millionaire actor, Patel.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Patel. OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think that was the right one to go for, Ailsa.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Our low score at the moment is 20.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I suspect you're going to go beyond that. Oh, 21.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16All right!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- 21 for Patel.- Well played, Ailsa.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23In fact, well played, everyone, on that round.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26There's only one other low score that nobody got
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- which is the light verse writer and the architect.- Yeah, Nash.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Ogden Nash and John Nash. Yep. That would have scored 27.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The top one, which is Ford, is a big scorer. Look at this.
0:09:40 > 0:09:4290 points. You would have been unhappy with that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And absolutely right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Tony Hart and Amanda Hart
0:09:45 > 0:09:46down the bottom there.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Would have scored 66.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50So Quinn is actually the best answer. Very well played.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round
0:09:52 > 0:09:54so let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:54 > 0:09:5620, well done, Paul. The best score of the pass, all yours.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Paul and Kris ruling the roost at this point.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Up to 21, we find Ailsa and Martin.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Up to 36, Amy and Aisleen.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Jon and Mark...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Ooh. Head-to-headers last time.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09We can't say goodbye to you at the end of the round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm forbidding that. So, Mark, you know you have to do.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Look at that board carefully. Find a nice low-scoring answer.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Let's hope it get you through. We'll come back down the line now.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26OK. Let's put seven more pairs of people up on the board,
0:10:26 > 0:10:27and here they are...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We've got...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'll read those one last time.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Martin, remember we're looking for the surname
0:11:20 > 0:11:23of each of these famous people. They share the same surname.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Martin, welcome here from Dundee. What do you do?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm a project engineer for the oil industry in Aberdeen.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And how do you and Ailsa know each other?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Ah, she's my girlfriend. - Well, I know.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But how long have you known one another?...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That's a year and a half now
0:11:38 > 0:11:42after I met her driving into her car.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43You met by driving into her car?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I tried to sweet talk my way out of it
0:11:45 > 0:11:49by offering to take her out on a date and we are still here.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53And here you are. 18 months later.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54- I know.- On Pointless.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I've still not fixed the car.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- LAUGHS:- You've still not fixed her car.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00You better get around to that. Let's hope you win.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK, well, listen. That board is all yours. There you are.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You are on 21. The high score is Mark and Jon on 67.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06So 38 or less gets you through.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Looking at that, I'm also glad we got a low score cos I'm stuck
0:12:10 > 0:12:12with the obvious ones.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16But I think Mike Myers and I hope Dave is called Myers, eh.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20OK. Mike Myers, Dave Myers says Martin. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's right.
0:12:28 > 0:12:3265, big score. Bigger score. In fact, of the round so far.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- 86 your total. - Yeah, as you said, it is Dave Myers.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Dave Myers and Si King, The Hairy Bikers.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Thanks very much indeed. Kris, welcome. And what do you do, Kris?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'm a struggling freelance writer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What sort of things do you struggle to write?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51BOTH LAUGH
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I write anything from music reviews to court reports
0:12:55 > 0:12:59to my favourite articles for a caravanning magazine.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Huuh. Which of the great caravanning magazines do you write for?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's called Park Home And Holiday Caravan Magazine.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11That's my favourite one. That is the one I get every...month?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- It is monthly. - Yeah, every month. Oh, wow.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Did you see the one with the interview with George Clooney?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- LAUGHS:- I did. I did. - Me And My Park Home.- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23He... Ahh.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25His views on these new injection-moulded towbars
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I thought were fascinating.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Yes.- I like him in films, but I prefer him in a caravan.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32LAUGHTER
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Absolutely right. Thank you very much.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38So, Kris, how do you and Paul know each other?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Roughly ten years ago we met at a Shakin' Stevens concerts.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45How come? What brought you there?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, I've been a Shaky fan since I've been old enough
0:13:48 > 0:13:50to remember.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Paul, you are a fan as well, then, are you?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yeah, yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I actually run the fans' forum, the biggest one worldwide for the guy.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, yeah, yeah. Huge, huge fan.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03How many people are on your forum?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Oh, there's at least 22... No, there's...there's...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- It's in its hundreds, yeah. So it's...- But, no, that's good.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- That is impressive. - I like Shaky. Yeah.- I like Shaky.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17So, Kris, there you are. You are on 20.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21The high score is 86 with Martin and Ailsa. What are you going to go for?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Well, I know a few of them.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26There's a couple more obvious ones. Um...
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I'm going to go for the second one because I just think,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I can play it slightly safe.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- That is Frost.- Frost.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Frost, say Kris and Paul. Here is your red line.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Get below that with Frost and you are into Round Two.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:5074 that scores you. Takes your total up to 94.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53This is all good news for Mark and Jon on the end there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Yeah, another big scorer.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Again, these are bigger scorers than we normally have
0:14:57 > 0:14:59because there are sort of two clues there, aren't there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02If you know either one of them, you're going to get the right answer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Aisleen, welcome.- Hello.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Here from Ipswich as well. How do you and Amy knew each other?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- We used to work together. - So, Aisleen, what do you do now?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- I work in travel marketing. - What were you doing then?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Public relations.- Similar sort of thing.- Similar things, yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Travel marketing is fun though, isn't it?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Yeah, it's good.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- And you look at places all over the world?- Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Which obviously you have to sample.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- You can't market it.- Of course.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30You've got to know your product, haven't you?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, listen, Aisleen, there you are, on 36.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You have to score 57 to stay in the game.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37This is difficult because I'm one of those people that literally knows
0:15:37 > 0:15:40all the obvious answers to questions.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The one I wanted...they've taken.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Erm...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46So I literally only know one more that I'm sure about and I think it's
0:15:46 > 0:15:50going to be a really high scorer, but it's the only one I know, so...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It's the top one and it is May.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Theresa May, James May. Let's see if that is right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Let's see how may people said it. Here's your red line.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Get below that with May...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02..and you're in the next round for sure.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, it is right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Ooh, that's a big scorer. 85. - I chose the highest one!
0:16:10 > 0:16:14121, your score. There's even better news for Mark and Jon there.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17That is a big scorer. Actually, when you say you're one of those people
0:16:17 > 0:16:19who only knows the obvious answers to questions,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22did you not think about that before you applied to come on Pointless?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23- LAUGHTER - I did, and I did try to tell Amy
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I probably wouldn't be the best partner.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28But, you know, she misses me when I'm not around.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30That's right, blame me.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Mark...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's been getting easier and easier.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Looking like a challenge at the beginning of this pass
0:16:38 > 0:16:39when you're the high-scorers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41But now, you can get away with 60 or less.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Before you give your answer...- Yep.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Remind us about your lovely life. You have a wonderful life.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'm a retired banker. I now have my own consultancy business.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51When you say consultancy business,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55that's basically you between shutting the door of your Jag and
0:16:55 > 0:16:58walking into the golf club saying, "Yeah, yeah, I would do that."
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Basically, we have two employees, which is myself and my wife and
0:17:01 > 0:17:03we do a lot of corporate entertaining,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06which involves us actually going to play golf and going on holiday.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Lovely. Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12The Rangers goalkeeper, I feel like I don't know the Rangers goalkeeper.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But I feel like I should know the Erasure's singer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Gomarsall was the name that came in mind,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20but I think that... And Johnson is a name that I've got.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21And I'm not absolutely sure.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Going to go with the one I know and see how we get on.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So I shall go with the Doctor Zhivago actress
0:17:27 > 0:17:29and the Amarillo singer, Christie.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Christie.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Here is your red line. This is going to be very exciting.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Christie gets you below that red line, you remain with us.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Let's see how many people said Tony Christie and Julie Christie.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44It's right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48You've done it! Very well done indeed.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Very well judged there, Mark. 52. You needed 60. You've got 52.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56112 is your total. Very well done.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Yeah, very well played.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00You were lucky you didn't go for the Erasure singer as well.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Andy Gomarsall is a rugby player. Andy Johnson is a footballer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05This is Andy Bell.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Andy Bell and Cammy Bell. Would have scored 17.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Celebrity MasterChef winner Lisa Faulkner and William Faulkner.
0:18:12 > 0:18:1520 points. And the bottom one is the best answer. Do you know that?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'm guessing you get it through the author
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- rather than The Voice finalists. - Barker.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Pat Barker and Sally Barker.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Six points if you said that. Very well played.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Thanks very much. So at the end of our first round,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28the pair who are heading home with the high score of 121.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I'm so sorry, Aisleen and Amy, it is you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Nothing wrong with either of your answers,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37just that James May, Theresa May was a very high-scoring one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm so sorry. Well, we'll see you again next time.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43And I'm sure you'll make it much further than just Round One.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Thanks very much for playing meanwhile.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Aisleen and Amy, lovely contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:51But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57And so three pairs remain.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye
0:19:00 > 0:19:02to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Mark and Jon, you were lucky there.- We were.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07That was lucky, but well done. You made it through.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Paul and Kris, not bad at all.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And Martin and Ailsa, our lowest scores there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for this round is...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Cinema. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23who's going to go second?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK. And the question concerns...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Film Adaptations. Richard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39In a moment we are about to show you a board with five authors on it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42We are looking for any feature film made for cinema release up to
0:19:42 > 0:19:46April 2014 based on a novel by any of these authors, please.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Very, very best of luck.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Thanks very much indeed. So, as Richard just mentioned,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53we're going to put five authors up on the board.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55They will remain on the board all the way through the round.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We won't change them halfway through. They'll stay up there.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01We are looking for the name of any film based on a novel
0:20:01 > 0:20:03by any of these five authors. Here they are.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Jon.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'm struggling on the authors let alone the films.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I don't do films. John...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'm going to say John Grisham, Day Of The Triffids.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Day Of The Triffids, says Jon. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Let's see how many people said The Day Of The Triffids.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Ooh. I'm afraid not The Day Of The Triffids. An incorrect answer.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It may well not be our last incorrect answer of the round.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50That's John Wyndham, I'm afraid. Very different author.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Different Johns altogether. - Different Johns.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Thanks for much indeed. Now, Kris...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I'm pretty sure that...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01John Grisham...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04..did The Pelican Brief.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06The Pelican Brief, says Kris.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Pelican Brief.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13It's right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Look at that, it's a good answer.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Look at that, 4 for The Pelican Brief.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Very well done indeed, Kris.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Good answer, Kris. Very well played.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Yes, starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33who coincidentally are starting as us in Pointless - The Movie.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34That's right, yes.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37I think Julia is going to be a terrific you.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- I think she is. - Yeah.- I think she is.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Thank you very much indeed, Richard. OK, so, Ailsa.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Erm...
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I think I'm going to go for Nick Hornby and High Fidelity.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52High Fidelity, says Ailsa. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said High Fidelity.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It's right.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Well, 4 is our best score so far. High Fidelity...
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You score 7. Very well done indeed.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08APPLAUSE
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yep, Nick Hornby's debut novel was turned into a film with
0:22:13 > 0:22:14John Cusack, Jack Black.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's a great book and a great film as well.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Very good. Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:22:21 > 0:22:234 the best score of that pass. Well done, Kris.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Kris and Paul reigning supreme at this point.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Then up to 7 where we find Ailsa and Martin.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Then up to 100, I'm afraid, Jon and Mark.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Yeah. Well, once again, Mark, we're going to need a low score from you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38But, yeah, best of luck with that. We'll come back to the line now.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK. Now, Martin, we're looking for the title,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50remember, of any film based on a novel by any of these authors.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Brilliant answer from Ailsa there.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I know half of them. The Pelican Brief was going to be my answer.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I didn't expect that to go so low.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So I'm more confident about saying The Firm now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06OK, The Firm, says Martin. You want to be scoring 92 or less.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Here is a red line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Nice and high. Get below that with The Firm,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11you are in the head-to-head.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's right and you are through.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Not bad at all! 7.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Equalling Ailsa's score, taking your total up to 14.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Seeing you comfortably into the next round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well played, podium three. That's the novel that really turned John Grisham
0:23:32 > 0:23:34into an absolute superstar.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- And Tom Cruise, of course, was the star of the film.- Indeed.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Thanks very much indeed. Now, Paul.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Hm.- 95 or less is your target.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Now cinema is one of your things, isn't it, Paul?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Yeah, this is a great round for me. I know loads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Let's go for the Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59The Lost World, says Paul. The Lost World. Here is your red line.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Nice and high. If you can get below that with The Lost World...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You're into the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's right and you are through.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Oh, 1!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22It's a great answer, Paul.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You get all the glory, but I'm afraid you don't get the cash there.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27But it takes your total up to 5. Very well done.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yeah, well played, Paul. Shame it didn't go down one more.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Starring Jeff Goldblum and Julianne Moore.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Julianne Moore of course is playing Paxman
0:24:34 > 0:24:36in University Challenge - The Movie.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Have you seen her? Have you seen what they've done?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- I've seen some of the stills. - Looks amazing.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- The prosthetics are extraordinary. - Beard.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Honestly, I thought it was Paxman. The voice.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Absolutely. Is that...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Is that something they have generated or something?- Nope. Nope.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55She literally, she spent nine months training in,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57watching things.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58She absolutely methoded it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Amazing.- Extraordinary. She is Paxman. She has become Paxman.- Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05In the same way that she became Ted Rogers
0:25:05 > 0:25:06when she did 3, 2, 1 The Movie.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08LAUGHTER
0:25:08 > 0:25:10She was ter-rific. She was.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- And Leonardo DiCaprio as Dusty Bin, also a good performance.- Hm.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Really, really good.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18If you haven't seen that, it's really worth catching.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Um, Mark, I'm afraid... Listen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Well, listen, let's go through the motions.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm afraid it will be your last answer on Pointless,
0:25:27 > 0:25:28but let's make it a good one.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well, I... Some of the answers, The Firm, The Pelican Brief have gone.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I was going to put Jurassic Park or Jurassic Park - The Lost World,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37so I can pick something out from that, but this may not be right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38But I'm taking a gamble.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I might as well go out in a blaze of glory with 200 if it's wrong.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Did Nick Hornby do Green Street?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Green Street, says Mark. Green Street.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Let's find out. Did he?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- I'm afraid it's the blaze of glory, Mark.- Made me feel better.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But you're right, they're worth a punt.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00There might have been a pointless answer there
0:26:00 > 0:26:03if you could winkle it out. Green Street wasn't it though.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Scores you 100, takes your total up to 200.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07No, but was a very noble thing to do, genuinely, so nice try.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Not... Doesn't come from a novel at all, Green Street.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Oh, right.- Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Plenty of them. All The Pretty Horses,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17that comes from the Cormac McCarthy book.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Black Sunday, that's Thomas Harris. Child of God, Cormac McCarthy again.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Christmas With The Kranks, that's a John Grisham adaptation.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Disclosure, Michael Crichton, a few people might have got that at home.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Rising Sun, that's also Michael Crichton.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The 13th Warrior and Timeline,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35they're both Michael Crichton as well. And The Chamber,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37which is a John Grisham adaptation.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Let's look at the top three, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43It's a low scorer, as you'd imagine. The Silence Of The Lambs
0:26:43 > 0:26:45which is Thomas Harris of course.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47About A Boy, Nick Hornby, 14.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52And Jurassic Park, 22. Right at the top. Michael Crichton, of course.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:56 > 0:26:58with a high score of 200, our head-to-headers last time,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but I'm afraid this time you haven't quite made it that far.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Mark and Jon. Well, it's been great having you on both shows.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Strong performance in some rounds
0:27:06 > 0:27:07but this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Thanks so much for playing. Mark and Jon.- Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- APPLAUSE BOTH:- Good luck.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14But for Martin and Ailsa, Paul and Kris,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Congratulations, Paul and Kris, Martin and Ailsa.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:25 > 0:27:30and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £5,750.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33APPLAUSE
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Well, you've seen off our only returning pair
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and they were our head-to-headers last time.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40So I think this is going to be very exciting.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Martin and Ailsa, our low scorers in the first round.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Paul and Kris, our low scorers in the second.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47You can now put your heads together and combine your knowledge.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Famous Squares. Richard.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We'll show you five pictures now taken in famous squares
0:28:06 > 0:28:08from around the world. You need to tell us
0:28:08 > 0:28:11the name of the city that each of these is taken in, please.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15OK, let's reveal our five famous squares. And here they come.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16We have...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39There we are, five famous squares.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Now, Paul and Kris, you've been our low scorers so far,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44so you will go first.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I've actually been to the city of the answer that I'm going to go for
0:28:48 > 0:28:52because it's got that quite distinct building in the foreground
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and in the background.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56And that's B, Melbourne, Australia.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57B, Melbourne.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59B, Melbourne, say Paul and Kris.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Now then, Martin and Ailsa, do you want to talk us through
0:29:01 > 0:29:03the rest of the board?
0:29:03 > 0:29:04- LAUGHING:- We'll try.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I think maybe the top one is Beijing.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Maybe Venice for C. Do you know D?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- I was... I was thinking Barcelona or something...- Hmm, B.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15But there's not enough letters.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18E, I think, is Marrakech. What shall we go for?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Marrakech if you think so. - E, Marrakech.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22OK, E, Marrakech.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24So we have Melbourne and we have Marrakech.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Paul and Kris went for Melbourne.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Melbourne.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33It's right.
0:29:38 > 0:29:407. Well done.
0:29:40 > 0:29:427 for Melbourne. Very well done indeed.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47Now, Martin and Ailsa, meanwhile, have said that E is Marrakech.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50let's see how many people said Marrakech.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54It's right.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Good answer. Look at that. 21.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Still, not bad at all. Two good answers there.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07But very well done, Paul and Kris. After one question you're up 1-nil.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Yeah, Federation Square in Melbourne.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12That was actually the best answer on the board, couldn't have beaten it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13A is Beijing.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That would have scored you 59.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Then we've got St Mark's Square in Venice.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Which would have scored you 52. Surprisingly got fewer than Beijing.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29D, that's a carpet of flowers there
0:30:29 > 0:30:32and it's in the Grand Place in Brussels.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35It's a carpet of begonias. That would have scored you 18 points.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39So the best answer there - Melbourne. Biggest answer there - Beijing.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Martin and Ailsa, you get to answer it first.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46But you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47It concerns...
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Seaside Items. Richard.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56We'll show you five anagrams now of things associated with the seaside.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Can you unscramble them?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01OK, let's reveal our five anagrams. And here they come. We have got...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I'll read those one last time.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Martin and Ailsa, over to you. Feel free to confer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Right. Um, just down at the bottom...
0:31:24 > 0:31:27MARTIN WHISPERS
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I'm stuck between... Go for three or four.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33So four, sun lotion.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Sun lotion, say Martin and Ailsa.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Sun lotion.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Paul and Kris, talk us through the board.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I think the second one is deckchair.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44The third one down has got to be beach ball.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Um, I think we'll go for the top one, bucket and spade.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Bucket and spade.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52So we have sun lotion and bucket and spade.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Now, Martin and Ailsa have gone for sun lotion.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00It's right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Very well done indeed.
0:32:07 > 0:32:107 for sun lotion. Good answer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Going to be hard to beat that.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Paul and Kris, meanwhile, have gone for bucket and spade.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Let's see if that's right for pancake bed dust.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21It's right.
0:32:27 > 0:32:2819.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Well done, Martin and Ailsa. That's what you needed.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Back in the game. After two questions it's 1-all.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Classic head-to-head cos, again, sun lotion
0:32:36 > 0:32:38it's the best answer on the board. Unbeatable.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It's happened two questions in a row now.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Deckchair obviously is the second one.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Would have scored you 39.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46You were right about beach ball as well.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50That would have scored you 53. How are you doing on that bottom one?
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Not brilliantly.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It's 12 points.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- And very well done at home if you said...- Swimming costume.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Swimming costume, yeah.- There you go.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes you third question.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:33:04 > 0:33:07and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Big jackpot to play for. It concerns...
0:33:12 > 0:33:14American Football. Richard.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17We're going to show you five clues now to facts about American football.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Whichever team give us the best answer goes through to
0:33:19 > 0:33:21play for the jackpot, so best of luck.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Thanks very much indeed. OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24And here they come...
0:33:44 > 0:33:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Paul and Kris go first.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Right, I used to be a big gamer in my earlier days
0:34:11 > 0:34:13and I had John Madden Football on the Mega Drive.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18And I'm pretty sure that every time you sacked
0:34:18 > 0:34:22a ball-carrier behind his own goal-line, that was called "safety".
0:34:22 > 0:34:24OK. Safety.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Now then, Martin and Ailsa...
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Just Martin this time. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I've got an answer for them all
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and I would like to disagree with their one,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38so I think I might take a bit of a safer one.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39And just take the...
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Top or bottom, top or bottom.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Ten yards, top.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Ten yards. Ten yards. So we have safety versus ten.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Now, Paul and Kris went for safety. Let's see if that's right,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said safety.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It's right.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01It's right.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05And down it goes to 3.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Very well done indeed.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Now, Martin and Ailsa have gone for ten yards.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Let's see if ten is right,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and if it is, let's see how many people said ten.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20It's right.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Ten. Scores 10.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Well, very well done, Paul and Kris.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35After three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Well, three questions and all three questions,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40the team going first pick the best score on the board,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43so you can't play a head-to-head better than that. Very well played.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46The name given to the end of season contest is of course the Super Bowl.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Would have scored you 27.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51And the player is the quarterback.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Of course.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Would have scored you 17.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56And the number of points awarded for a touchdown is six.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00And that would have scored you 8 points.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I'm afraid it's Martin and Ailsa. Strong performance though.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Really, really strong right through.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13Nothing wrong with any of your scores in this last round.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Just Paul and Kris managed to beat you.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Martin and Ailsa, very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:36:22 > 0:36:25But for Paul and Kris, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Well, congratulations, Paul and Kris.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33You fought off all the competition
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- (Yes!)
0:36:41 > 0:36:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £5,750.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49- There it is.- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Well, obviously I'm delighted you are in the final
0:36:54 > 0:36:56and it's a very deserved win.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58A fantastic performance in that head-to-head.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Lovely low scoring throughout.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02But I'm a bit sad you're not coming back.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Well...- I want to ask you more about the driving, the writing, Shaky.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09It's weird, cos normally you wait ages for a bus driver
0:37:09 > 0:37:10and then two come along at once, but we've...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- LAUGHTER - Yeah.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14What do you want to come up in this last round?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I mean, obviously there is one category.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Yeah, Shakin' Stevens top 40 singles would be a good one. Yeah.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- Just music. '80s music would be great.- '80s music, film.- OK, good.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Well, as always, you get to choose your category
0:37:26 > 0:37:28from the four we put up on the board.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Let's hope there's something up here you like the look of.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32We've got...
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- It's going to have to be '60s music, isn't it?- '60s music, yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43- '60s music. - '60s music it is. Richard.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47OK, good luck. Three questions about three very different acts here.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48We are looking for
0:37:48 > 0:37:51the title of any tracks on the original release of the album
0:37:51 > 0:37:54commonly known as The White Album by The Beatles.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56We are looking for any member of The Animals
0:37:56 > 0:38:00from the early '60s through to their split in September 1966.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Or we're looking for any UK top 40 single that Dusty Springfield had,
0:38:03 > 0:38:07either as a solo artist or with The Springfields during the '60s.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09So, tracks on The White Album,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11members of The Animals or Dusty Springfield
0:38:11 > 0:38:13top 40 hits in the '60s.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14- Very best of luck.- OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17As ever, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Kris looking quietly confident there.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Remember, to win that jackpot, only one of those answers
0:38:22 > 0:38:24has to be pointless.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Are you ready?- BOTH:- Yes.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Your time starts now. - OK, right, listen...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32There's no point going through these, to be honest.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Listen, look.- OK. Go, go, go.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm going to reel you a list of tracks off The White Album.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- You tell me what you've heard of and what you haven't.- OK, yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40- Piggies.- No.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- Rocky Raccoon.- No. Good Night. No. You sure it was The Beatles?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I'm So Tired.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- I know that one.- You know that one? - Hmm.- All right.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Um...
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Martha My Dear.- No.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Savoy Truffle.- No.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It's not narrowing it down much, is it?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00All right. Well, those are the main ones I'm definitely sure of.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02OK, what once do you feel the most confident with?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I would go for Piggies... - Yeah.- ..Rocky Raccoon...
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Yeah.- ..and...- They're both animal themed, aren't they?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13..Savoy Truffle, which is the George Harrison one.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Um... I'm So...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17You've heard of I'm So Tired, haven't you?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Thinking about it, probably not. - Ten seconds left.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Blackbird, have you heard of that one?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23I've not heard of any of them,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26so first thing I'm going to do is buy The White Album when I get home.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30All right. So I reckon Blackbird, Piggies...
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- That's your time up. - ..Savoy Truffle.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34I need your three answers. If you say which category they're in,
0:39:34 > 0:39:39- that would be great.- All right, so I'm a big fan of The White Album,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41so I know most of the tracks off it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45So I'm going to name three off there which we've gone through.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Piggies.- Piggies.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Savoy Truffle.- Savoy Truffle.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53And what was the other one? Blackbird.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Blackbird, OK. Now, of those three,
0:39:55 > 0:39:58which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- What do you reckon?- I reckon the best shot would be Savoy Truffle.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Savoy Truffle we put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- It could be either.- Piggy.- Piggies.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- I think people remember Piggies. - I'll put Piggies first
0:40:07 > 0:40:09and Blackbird in the middle.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Let's pop those up on the board in that order then.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13And here they are. We've got...
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Very best of luck.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Three good answers there up on the board.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Let's hope one of those wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:22 > 0:40:265,750 quid, that's a really nice jackpot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28What would you do if you won that, Paul?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Um, well, I'd like to say,
0:40:30 > 0:40:33I'd take the family on holiday or something like that, but, no,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I'm going to go and probably buy the biggest 3-D HDTV I can find.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Kris?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Um, there are few countries in Southeast Asia
0:40:41 > 0:40:46that I'd love to visit, so I'd go on probably a one-month's break
0:40:46 > 0:40:48there and just travel around the area.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Very good indeed. Well, best of luck.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Three good answers up there on the board.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55All three answers you've given are tracks from The White Album.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Your first was Piggies,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00But let's find out how many people said Piggies.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03For £5,750, is it pointless?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10It's right.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Well, if this goes all the way down to 0,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15you'll be leaving here with that jackpot of £5,750.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It's still going down. Down through the teens...
0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's going, it's going.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Single figures. It's still going down. Down it goes.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- You've done it!- BOTH:- Yeah!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Very well done indeed. Fantastic!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Fabulous answer there. Piggies.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Very well done indeed, Paul. Superb.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Yes!
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Ah. High five.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Come here. I won't leave you hanging.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Wow, congratulations.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Piggies was a pointless answer,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42which means you go home with today's jackpot of £5,750.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Very well done. - That turned out nicely, didn't it?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- BOTH:- Yes.- Very, very impressive.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54I mean, if we'd had to go on, Blackbird, your second answer,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56it would have scored you 1 point.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Ooh.- Savoy Truffle, your third answer, also pointless.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Yes! Well done, mate. Well done.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- Well done indeed.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Couple of others you mentioned.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07You mentioned Martha My Dear and I'm So Tired.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- They both would have scored 1 point. - Wow.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12You also mentioned Rocky Raccoon and Good Night
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and they were both pointless answers as well.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17So you mentioned four in your minute there, which was very impressive.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Lots and lots of pointless answers on that White Album.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21So Beatles fans will have been able to fill their boots.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Let's take a look at that. I Will. You've got Mother Nature's Son.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26You've got The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28The George Harrison track,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a pointless answer amazingly.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Lots of others. Birthday was a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Cry Baby Cry, Don't Pass Me By.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey
0:42:36 > 0:42:38is a pointless answer. Honey Pie, Julia,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Long, Long, Long. Revolution 1, Why Don't We Do It In the Road?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44and Yer Blues. All those were pointless answers, amazingly.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Let's take a look at The Animals. Four answers here.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Barry Jenkins, Dave Rowberry, Hilton Valentine and Mick Gallagher.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And Dusty Springfield.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57All I See Is You, I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
0:42:57 > 0:42:58is a pointless answer.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Losing You and Say I Won't Be There.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Terrific work in the studio, guys. Congratulations.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05- BOTH:- Thank you.- Thanks very much.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08And thanks again to our winning players, Paul and Kris,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11who go away with today's jackpot of £5,750.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Well, join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure
0:43:17 > 0:43:18knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25APPLAUSE
