0:00:14 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:30the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning. Let's me today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- And couple number one.- Hi, my name is Davide, this is my friend James.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40We're friends from drama school, and we are from London.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Tracey, I'm from Coventry.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45This is my friend Anne, we used to work together.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- But she's just retired, but we are still friends.- Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Erin, this is my mum Andrea, and we are from Cirencester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Shirley, this is my friend Brian,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and we are from Orpington Cricket Club, in Kent.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:05 > 0:01:08as it goes along, so that just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11The Bard of the Hard, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hey, everyone.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you. - And to you.- The Bard of the Hard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Yes, it's good. I might get a couple of shirts made up for you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Yeah, let's do that. Why don't we do that?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Only one returning pair from last time, Erin and Andrea.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- You don't like Bard... Hang on, hang on. - LAUGHTER
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You don't like Bard of the Hard?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You think it sounds a bit...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36..a bit off colour?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Well, it could be taken out of context.- Difficult...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It depends where you're saying it.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45If you are saying it in a symposium, people would go, "Oh, I presume you're
0:01:45 > 0:01:48"very good at mathematical puzzles or something or obscure facts."
0:01:48 > 0:01:51If you're wearing it in a nightclub, say, they might say,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52"Clearly you're looking for a fight."
0:01:52 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- OK.- So I'm not a million percent sold on Bard of the Hard, no.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Sorry. On you go, on you go.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03And the last show, we had Sam and Darren. Darren was our magician. He started the show with a trick,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07which was amazing. Ended the show with an even better trick of making our jackpot disappear.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I still haven't quite worked out how he did it, the two of them.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14They just, sort of, gave us two answers for the same question and one of them was right.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It was quite a neat way to play the jackpot round, I have to say.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19And they took away the money. But a cracking day.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- First round is slightly different to normal.- Looking forward to it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Thank you, Richard. Now, Sam and Darren won the jackpot, as you've just heard,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The only thing you have to remember is that the pair at the end
0:02:39 > 0:02:44of each round with the highest score will be eliminated. OK. That's it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Our first category today is...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53New style Round One. Europe. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going to go second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And who ever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, and our question concerns...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07French Towns And Cities, Richard.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yes, we are about to show you a map of France up on the board,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12with various towns and cities marked on it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We'll give you the first and last letters of each,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16you just have to give the most obscure of those, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Very best of luck.- Fun. - I know, right.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Yeah.- And they call me the Bard of the Hard, and yet this is quite easy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29So, we are going to show you an image with these towns
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and cities marked out.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33That's going to stay up for the whole round, so it won't be
0:03:33 > 0:03:36changing halfway through the round, it'll stay up for the whole round.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39OK, let's see that image.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, there you are!
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Wow.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- OK. James. Welcome.- Hi.- Welcome.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- What do you do, James?- I'm an actor.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- You're an actor. You met at drama school.- We did.- In London?- Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Which drama school?- We went to a place called Italia Conti.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Italia Conti. And what sort of things are you in at the moment?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- You're not working right now? - Not right now. I'm about to go to Glasgow to do some Shakespeare,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- so that should be good. - That's fun, how long are you there? - A couple of months.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Excellent. Good stuff.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15OK, now, how are you feeling about France? Do you know France?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Well, I know of it.- Yes. - CHUCKLING
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- We've seen it in the pictures. - Of course.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- It looks marvellous.- What are you going to go for on that?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Oh, good Lord. - That little map. That carte.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29CHUCKLING
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Just having a wee look.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37OK. Let's go for...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41..Brest.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Let's see if Brest is right,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50It's right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- 17. - APPLAUSE
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Good start to the round. 17 for Brest.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Yes, very well done, there it is, in Brittany.- Thank you very much.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Pleasure.- Anne, welcome to the show, great to have you here.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- What do you do, Anne?- I've just retired. I worked with Tracey.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I was a secretary at University of Warwick.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I love the University of Warwick. On the campus there.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What was the department you were in?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- It was film and TV studies department.- God, that's fun, isn't it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Oh. How long had you been there? - Nine years.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, so you had seen three whole generations of people come through.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Oh, yes, loads of students. - All of them nice?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- They all love this programme as well.- Aw! Very good, indeed.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- What are your hobbies, Anne? - I like to sew.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42My husband and I like to go for walks.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I like ice hockey.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- To watch it.- I was going to say. I was going to say, Anne, really, that is...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- You surprise me. - I don't have the shoulders to play.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK, now, Anne, France. France, Anne.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'll go for Grenoble.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Let's see if that is right. Grenoble. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05It is right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Grenoble, look at that, 4! Anne.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:18A superb answer there. Very well done, indeed.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Great answer, Anne. There's Grenoble in the French Alps, the Rhone-Alps.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Andrea, welcome back. Last time.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Last time.- I panicked. - Round One.- Total panic.- I know.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Mind went blank.- It happens, you're on the first podium.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Prince Albert, it's his fault. - Yes, exactly.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It is, indeed.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- As we discovered last time, you are a personal injury lawyer.- I am, yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I still haven't had that cheque through, by the way.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I know, I did... We'll talk afterwards, we'll talk afterwards. But, yes, fingers crossed.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52What are your hobbies, Andrea?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Looking after my allotment.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I've also got two Norfolk terriers, Alfie and Bertie.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- We're going to get Norfolk terriers! - Are you?- Love Norfolk terriers.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Fantastic little dogs. - What sort of age are they? - I've got one who's two,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- and my baby is ten months. - Lovely.- Gorgeous.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Now, France, how are we feeling about France?- OK.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11I know a few of those,
0:07:11 > 0:07:16it's just trying to judge which one is going to be the fewest points.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20So, erm, let's go for...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Lille.- Lille, says Andrea.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Lille.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's right. Well, 17 is our high score at this point,
0:07:32 > 0:07:334 our low.
0:07:33 > 0:07:3545! For Lille.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36APPLAUSE
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Andrea, it's gone all Prince Albert on you again.- I know.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I can't believe it. 45 for Lille!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46What's Lille done to put it's... literally, on the map.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I think... The Eurostar goes there, doesn't it,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50so people know Lille quite well.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It gets its name, it was originally L'Isle, as in "the island",
0:07:53 > 0:07:55because it was in a branch between two rivers.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Shirley, lovely to have you here. What do you do, Shirley? - I'm a housewife.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Where are you from? - Orpington, in Kent. - You said Orpington Cricket Club.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- That was nice and specific. - Well, that's where we met.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- We were friends from the club. - I see. What's your role in the club?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- I'm a first-team scorer.- Very good.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Didn't do the teas, I do the scores.- No, do the scoring, much better, much better.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- All on your own, in your little box over there.- Oh, yes.- Very nice.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24And what are your hobbies, aside from the cricket?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28A little bit of gardening, singing. I belong to a rock choir.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- How big is your rock choir? - About 150 members.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Blimey, that is huge!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- And how often do you sing together? - Every Monday evening.- That's nice.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- A really good singsong.- It is good fun.- Very good. OK, Shirley...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43La France.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, there are a couple I already know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49And I'm a big Jonny Wilkinson fan, so I'm going to go for Toulon.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Toulon, says Shirley. Let's see if that is right,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Toulon.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- 11. - APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Second lowest score of the round, so far. Don't worry.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Yeah, there's Toulon, France's principle naval base
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and, as you say, also very, very well known for rugby union.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Thank you very much, Richard. We are halfway through the round.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Let's look at the scores. 4 the best score of that pass. Well done, Anne.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Sets you up in very good stead.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Then up to 11, where we find Shirley and Brian. Up to 17,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30James and Davide. And then 45.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I just don't know what's going on, I'm sorry. Lille.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Erin, it's over to you. It can't just be good, it's got to be exceptional.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's got to be outstanding. - Exactly. It's got to be awesome.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Best of luck. We are going to come back down the line, can the second players step up to the podium?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51So, remember, we are looking for the French towns or cities shown on this map.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Brian, a warm welcome to you. What do you do down in Orpington?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58With Shirley, I'm in Orpington Cricket Club.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I'm a part-time umpire, part-time player
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and a regular social member.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05How good is your cricket?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Let me put it this way, do your team prefer it when you umpire
0:10:07 > 0:10:09or when you are playing?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Oh, umpiring, definitely.- OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12LAUGHTER
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And aside from that, what else do you get up to, Brian?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I enjoy most sports. Watching football.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I play in a darts league in central London. And...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- I like reading autobiographies. - Excellent.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Now, how many times have you been to France? I don't mean how many times.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Have you been to France often enough to feel comfortable
0:10:32 > 0:10:34with this map?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I think I know one or two of them.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I'm going to have a go at OS,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- and I think that is Orleans. - Orleans.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Orleans. OK. You are on 11, the high-scorers on 45, Erin and Andrea.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52You want to be scoring 33 or less, that's what that looks like, there's your red line.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59It's right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06You're in Round Two, very well done indeed. Down it goes, 12.
0:11:06 > 0:11:0823, your total, well done, Brian.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10APPLAUSE
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well played, Brian. Good answer. New Orleans, in the States, is not named after Orleans, but it is
0:11:14 > 0:11:17sort of indirectly because it is named after the Duke of Orleans.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Philippe II.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Now, Erin.- Hello.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You know what you have to do here, Erin.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Remind us what you do, Erin. - I'm training to be an opera singer.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- That is going to be fun, isn't it?- Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, what's your goal, what is your dream?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Where would you like to go when you finish your training.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Royal Northern, you're going? - Yeah, to the Royal Northern.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I have a lot of roles that I'd really like to play,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- but the ultimate goal, I'd love to be a dame one day.- OK. That's good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I thought you were going to say I'd like to go to La Scala,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- but no, straight to the chase. - Really go to the top, yes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You could be a dame. A dame of opera.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Oh, I thought you meant like pantomime...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58LAUGHTER
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- More like Dame Kiri, is what I had in mind.- OK.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I saw her in Aladdin, she's terrific.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04LAUGHTER
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Now, Erin, there you are, you are on 45, you are the high scorers. We need a low score.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13I think I know a few, but I'm going to go for one...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16having just read a book about Matilda of Normandy.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I'm going to go for Bayeux. - OK, Bayeux.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Let's see if that's right,
0:12:20 > 0:12:25and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bayeux.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28No red line for you, because you are the high-scorers.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Oh!- Oh, no.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- I think you are a long way from Kansas there.- Oh, no.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm afraid not Bayeux.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Sorry, that's an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44takes your total up to 145.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yes, doesn't quite fit any of those, I'm afraid.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Almost fits a couple of them, but not quite.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53OK, thanks very much, indeed. Now, Tracey, welcome to the show.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's lovely to have you here. What do you do?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I know what you do! I know what you do. Even before you give the answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- So, how is it in the office now Anne's gone?- I miss her.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- And how long have you been there? - I've been there since 1999.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Excellent. So you've seen a good few generations through there.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Generations of students. Excellent. What are your hobbies, Tracey?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I... Obviously, I like to go to the cinema.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- I like to eat out, I like to spend time with my boys and with my family.- Lovely.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Listen, you're through to the next round. It doesn't matter what you score,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29partly thanks to Anne's lovely low score, but also largely owing to Erin and Andrea's
0:13:29 > 0:13:30very high score, of 145.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33But what are you going to go for on that map?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I think I'm going to go for Le Havre.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Le Havre. Le Havre.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Let's see if that's right. No red line, you're through.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Let's see how many people said Le Havre.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47It's right.
0:13:51 > 0:13:5234.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- APPLAUSE - Takes your total up to 38.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yes, in the upper Normandy region of France, there it is.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Means "the haven", Le Havre.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Thanks, Richard. Davide.- Hi.- Welcome.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Thank you very much.- What do you do, Davide?- I'm also an actor, as well.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- And, of course, you were in the same year at drama school.- Yes.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Have you been in productions together?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Obviously at drama school, I'm sure you were, but since.- We have.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Professionally, I don't think we have, or am I forgetting something?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- I don't think so. - No, no. No, we haven't.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25But you do theatre, really.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30It... Yeah. It's been more theatre than film and TV.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33But theatre and film, sort of, go very well together,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36whereas TV is in a bit of a bubble of its own. With a few exceptions.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Yeah, I mean, there's a big difference between...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think film and TV and theatre, there's a huge difference, I think.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I think my preference would actually be for theatre, but...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50If anybody wants to give me work, I'm more than happy to say yes.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- His agent's details appear now if you press the red button. - LAUGHTER
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Listen, it doesn't matter what you score, you're already through to the next round,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59but if you fancy, you could do a bit of a mop up.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Tell us some of the salient points on the map,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- and then pick which one you want to submit.- OK. There's a couple.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09There's obviously Paris and Dijon. Lyon.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Nice. Toulouse. Um...
0:15:14 > 0:15:16But I reckon
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I'm probably going to go for...Montpellier.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Montpellier, says Davide. Montpellier.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25There's no red line, as you're through,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28but let's see how many people said Montpellier.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, it's right.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Down it goes, still going down, look at that. Montpellier, what a great score - 6!
0:15:39 > 0:15:40APPLAUSE
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The second best till last.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Takes your total up to 23. - Yes, very good answer.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47One of southern France's few cities without
0:15:47 > 0:15:50a Roman heritage, Montpellier. There's no pointless answers.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Actually, the best answer in the whole round is Grenoble.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56So, very well played. Terrific answer. 4 points for that.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58And then the next best answer is Montpellier.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Would have scored 6, as we know. And Limoges also scored 6.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Looking at those other ones there,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06you would have got 8 points for Le Mans. That's a good answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Nantes would have scored you 10.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11You'd have got 14 for Strasbourg, 14 for Perpignan.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15You would have got 16 for Dijon. You would have got 19 for Cherbourg.
0:16:15 > 0:16:1729 for Toulouse.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22You'd have got 53 for Lyon. Now, it's not Bayeux, it's Bordeaux, I'm afraid.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Big scorer, though, it would have scored you 54. Nice, 55.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And the top scorer there is Paris, which scored 87.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32At the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36with their high score of 145, I'm sorry,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Erin and Andrea, it is you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- For the second time. - I know.- This is too little.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We have seen hardly anything of you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46It's absurd. But it's been lovely having you on both shows.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And we have to send you on your way. Good luck, Erin, with the singing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Thank you.- And thanks very much for playing. Erin and Andrea
0:16:52 > 0:16:55APPLAUSE
0:16:55 > 0:16:59But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03APPLAUSE
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Three pairs remain. At the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to another,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Shirley, Brian, Davide and James, identical scores.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So, very, very well done. You're our low scorers.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Tracey and Anne, a little bit higher than them, but best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Sports Stars. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30And who ever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36OK. And the question concerns...
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- Sports Stars In Films. Richard. - We're going to give you the names of six films on each pass.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46And then tell you the initials of a sports star who acted in that film.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50We'll also tell you what sports they play. Just need you to tell us the name of the sports star.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at home, so very best of luck.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Thanks very much. So we are looking for the sports stars who appeared in these films
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and here's our first board of six.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00We have got...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- James, over to you.- Oh.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm going to go for Haywire.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's Gina Carano.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Gina Carano, says James. Let's see if that's right for Haywire,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49let's see how many people said Gina Carano.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54It's right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Good answer, look at that. It's 1!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - 1 for Gina Carano.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Very good answer indeed, James.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10That's a terrific answer, James. Very well played.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It's a Steven Soderbergh film. Michael Douglas is also in it.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Thanks very much indeed. Now, Anne.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Yes. I can't come up with anything half as good as that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- So I'm going to go for The Hangover, Mike Tyson.- Mike Tyson, says Anne.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Let's see if that is right, let's see how many people said Mike Tyson.
0:19:33 > 0:19:3547 for Mike Tyson.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38APPLAUSE
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Yeah, not a bad answer. Mike Tyson is not half as good as the other answer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's 47 times worse than the first answer,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47but that's quite hard not to be, with 1 on that first podium.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Thanks, Rich. Now, Brian.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52This board is all yours, Brian.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Do you want to talk us through it and fill in the blanks?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I know a couple of them. Um...
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I know the top one is Hulk Hogan.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And the third one is Vinnie Jones.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Um...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I can't recall the other two, so I'm going to go for...
0:20:10 > 0:20:11um...
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- ..Rock III, Hulk Hogan. - Hulk Hogan, says Brian.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22It's right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, 47's our highest score at this point,
0:20:25 > 0:20:26you've passed that...
0:20:26 > 0:20:2732.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30APPLAUSE
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Well played, Brian. Yeah, he plays a character called Thunderlips
0:20:33 > 0:20:36who challenges Rocky to a wrestling match. Why wouldn't you?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You're right about Vinnie Jones,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41but you picked the right one, cos it would have scored more points.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Vinnie Jones would have scored 64.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47The Bathing Beauty is, as I'm sure lots of people know, Esther Williams.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48That would have scored you 13
0:20:48 > 0:20:52and the American football player who played Hightower was Bubba Smith.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54He would have scored 23.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Very well done, if you got that.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Thanks very much indeed, we're halfway through the round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Let's take a look at those scores. One, James, very well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03That puts you and Davide right at the top of the table.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Then, up to 32, where we find Brian and Shirley
0:21:06 > 0:21:09and then to 47, Anne and Tracey. You're not way ahead, actually.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Tracey, a nice low-scoring answer from you
0:21:11 > 0:21:13might just keep you in the game. Best of luck with that.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15We're going to come back down the line,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22OK, we're going to put six more films up on the board.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Here they are.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Shirley, it's over to you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00OK. Erm...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Shall I risk... - You want to score 14 or less.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Yeah, shall I risk it or...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05OK.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Erm, I'm going to go for the top one, Elizabeth,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and Eric Cantona.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Eric Cantona, says Shirley.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Here's your Red Line. Get below that with Eric Cantona
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and you're definitely in the next round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Let's see, is it right? How many people said it, if it is?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22It is right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Ooh.- 39 for Eric Cantona.- OK.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29APPLAUSE
0:22:29 > 0:22:3271, your total. It might be enough to keep you in.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yeah, a pretty big score for Eric Cantona,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Monsieur De Foi, he plays in that film.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- De Foix.- Oui.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Now then, Tracey...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, there's one I'm looking at
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and I'm just too afraid to do it, cos I think I might have it wrong.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Well, listen, you have to score 23 or less.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I don't know if that increases or reduces the pressure, but...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'm going to go Way Of The Dragon
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and say Chuck Norris.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04There's your Red Line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Well done, you're through.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Eight. - APPLAUSE
0:23:17 > 0:23:1955, your total.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Great answer, Tracey, very well played.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yeah, he founded his own school of martial arts, Chuck Norris.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Did he?- He did.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Got a very good OFSTED inspection.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Yes, yup. - LAUGHTER
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Davide.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Now, look, it's fine. All you have to do is score 69 or less
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Do you want to talk us through that board and fill in the blanks for us?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Yeah, erm...
0:23:44 > 0:23:49OK, so Space Jam is Michael Jordan.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53The Terminator is obviously the incomparable
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57HE SIGHS
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I don't know the bottom one.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04The Rocky one, I think it's Carl Weathers...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06but I just never...
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I didn't know him to be a football player beforehand.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK, I'm going to say Carl Weathers. I'm going to do it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Carl Weathers.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16There is your Red Line. Get below that with Carl Weathers
0:24:16 > 0:24:17and you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It's right. Well done, Davide.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28There you are,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31through you go to the head-to-head.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32- Two.- Whey!
0:24:32 > 0:24:33What about that?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35APPLAUSE
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Three is your total.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39That is incredibly impressive.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Yeah, he only briefly played NFL football, Carl Weathers,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43but it's definitely the right answer
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and you got the best answer on both boards on podium one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Very well played.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47You're right about Arnie.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Actually, it would have seen you through as well.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52All the answers you knew would have seen you through,
0:24:52 > 0:24:5555 for Schwarzenegger, but it would have been less show-offy,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- so I think you did the right thing.- Exactly...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Space Jam is Michael Jordan
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and he would have scored you 44 and the last one,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05better known as The Rock, Dwayne Johnson.
0:25:05 > 0:25:0713 points for that.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Thanks very much. So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12the pair who are heading home with their high-ish score of 71 -
0:25:12 > 0:25:15it's not that high - but I'm afraid it's you, Shirley and Brian.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Never mind.- Nothing wrong with either of the answers,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20perfectly good but, yes, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23We'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much indeed
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- but, Shirley and Brian, thanks very much for playing.- Thanks.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27APPLAUSE
0:25:27 > 0:25:30But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Congratulations, Davide and James, Tracey and Anne.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39You're now one step closer to the final
0:25:39 > 0:25:40and the chance to play for our jackpot
0:25:40 > 0:25:44which currently stands at £1,000.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Well, Davide and James,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48what a performance you've put on today for us.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Thank you very much.- Very good, particularly in that last round,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53a total of just three.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Ridiculously low scores.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Tracey and Anne, very well done, indeed, to you.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58I mean, it makes a difference.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I always think once you've got to this stage, you can then chat
0:26:01 > 0:26:03before you give your answers.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04- A bit of a relief.- Yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- I think these guys are going to take some beating, that's all I'm saying. - I think you're right.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Very, very best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12APPLAUSE
0:26:16 > 0:26:19OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25The UK citizenship test. Richard.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yeah, we're going to show you five sample questions
0:26:27 > 0:26:29from the UK citizenship test.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Can you give us the most obscure answer? Good luck.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Let's reveal our five questions and here they come.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37We have got...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Davide and James, you've been our low scorers throughout
0:27:17 > 0:27:18so you will go first.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I know number one...
0:27:20 > 0:27:21(Quiet, quiet.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23(Number one is Boadicea...
0:27:23 > 0:27:26(And then, I know...)
0:27:26 > 0:27:27OK.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Yeah, the date of St George's Day is 23 April.
0:27:32 > 0:27:3423 April.
0:27:34 > 0:27:3623 April, St George's Day.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Now, Tracey and Anne,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40do you want to talk us through the rest of the board
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and see how much of it you can answer.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Yeah. The name of the tribal leader,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Queen of the Iceni, who fought against Roman rule
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- is Boudica or Boadicea, depending on how you pronounce it.- Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Er, what you think about the policing one?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- No.- No, I don't know that one.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57I'm not sure about the minimum age
0:27:57 > 0:28:00at which you can be called for jury service.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I think it might be... - 21.- 21, I think.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Do you want to go for the top? - Yeah, we have to.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Yeah, We'll just play it safe. We'll go for Boudica.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK, Boudica, say Tracey and Anne.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We have 23 April and we have Boudica.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Davide and James say 23 April for St George's Day.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23It's right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:28:32 > 0:28:3431 for 23 April.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Now, Tracey and Anne have gone for Boudica, the Queen of the Iceni.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43It's right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:4763 for Boudica.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49APPLAUSE
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Well done, Davide and James. After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Yeah, well played.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57That second one would have won it for you actually, the PCSO.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00It's a police community support officer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02That would have scored you 26.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07The year in which the Civil War began was 1642.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08That would have scored you 7
0:29:08 > 0:29:12and the minimum age is 18.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13That would have scored you 67.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I'm glad I'm already a resident.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- LAUGHTER - Yeah, yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Blimey.- I'd never get through that.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Tracey and Anne, you get to answer it first
0:29:25 > 0:29:27but you have to win it to stay in, so best of luck.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It concerns...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Pop music television programmes. Richard.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38We're going to show you the names of five UK television programmes that featured pop music.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41We're going to give you the first letters of their names. Tell us what they are, please.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44OK, thanks. Let's reveal our five sets of letters
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and here they are...
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I'll read those again.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Tracey and Anne, you will go first.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15(Shall we go for the top one?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18(Do you know?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19(Ready Steady Go!
0:30:19 > 0:30:22(is the bottom one...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- (Will we go for that one?- Yeah...
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- (No, the bottom one...- Yeah.- Yeah.)
0:30:25 > 0:30:28We're going to go for the bottom one, Ready Steady Go!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Ready Steady Go!, say Tracey and Anne.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Now, Davide and James,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Well...
0:30:36 > 0:30:37THEY LAUGH
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- ..we know that one.- Yeah.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Alas, and we know... - Obviously, Top Of The Pops.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44..Top Of The Pops, we believe is the third one.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I don't know, maybe Toi Toi is the top on?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's an operatic phrase, isn't it, meaning good luck, I think.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Yeah, but isn't that the same word repeated twice
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- and the second word's got an extra letter...- Oh, yeah, you're right.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Basically, we're a little bit stumped.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01We would probably have to go for Top Of The Pops...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Top Of The Pops. - ..which is the third one down.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04OK, Top Of The Pops.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06We have Ready Steady Go!, we have Top Of The Pops.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Tracey and Anne said Ready Steady Go!,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14It is right.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Well done, 33. - APPLAUSE
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Davide and James, meanwhile, have gone for Top Of The Pops.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It is right...
0:31:32 > 0:31:33- Ooh.- Ha!
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Ooh, yep, 94.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36APPLAUSE
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Yep, it was close. - Well done, Tracey and Anne.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41That's exactly what you needed, you're back in the game.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- After two questions, it's 1-1. - That was a big score.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Yeah, you were getting there with the first two, it is The Something.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- It's...- The Tube.- The Tube, yeah.
0:31:48 > 0:31:5217 points for that and it is From The Something as well.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53It's From The Basement.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55It's a pointless answer, it's a Sky Arts show.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58The other one, Tony Wilson used to present it,
0:31:58 > 0:31:59lots of punk...
0:31:59 > 0:32:00- So It Goes.- So It Goes, yeah.
0:32:00 > 0:32:032 points for that. Very well done, if you said that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:32:07 > 0:32:10and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11It concerns...
0:32:14 > 0:32:16US vice presidents. Richard.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18So, we're going to show you five pictures now of US vice presidents
0:32:18 > 0:32:20and you need to identify them.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The team that does is going through to the jackpot round. Good luck.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25OK, let's reveal our vice presidents and here they come...
0:32:48 > 0:32:51There you go, five "veeps".
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Davide and James, you will go first.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57(I know A, C and D but...
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- (I think maybe D is...- OK.)
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I'm going to go with D
0:33:05 > 0:33:08and say Dick Cheney.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney for D.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14So, Tracey and Anne, over to you.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Do you want to talk us through that board if you can.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Our go is A.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20I'm not sure who B is. Any ideas?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- No.- No. C is Richard Nixon.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Er, Anne has an idea about E...
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- I think it might be Grover Cleveland.- Grover Cleveland.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- I'm not sure.- Shall we... - Shall we have a punt?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Yeah, we'll have a punt. Yeah, we're going to go for Grover Cleveland.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Grover Cleveland, Grover Cleveland.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40So, we have Dick Cheney versus Grover Cleveland.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Davide and James have said Dick Cheney for D.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Let's see if that is right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Dick Cheney. - APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:02And meanwhile,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Tracey and Anne have gone for Grover Cleveland.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Oh, I'm sorry.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I'm afraid an incorrect answer which means, Davide and James,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Yeah, you had to take a punt.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23The answers that you knew were too high-scoring
0:34:23 > 0:34:25so it's a good answer, Dick Cheney.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27I think everybody knew Al Gore, who was A.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32That would have scored you 21 points.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I have to say, hats off to the one member of our 100
0:34:35 > 0:34:38who knew that B is the vice president to Ulysses S Grant,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Schuyler Colfax.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41- Very well played.- Wow.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45C is Richard Nixon, biggest scorer though.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50D is not Grover Cleveland, it is a president though,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- it's Theodore Roosevelt.- Oh, him!- Ah.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Six points.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56There we are.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I'm afraid it's Tracey and Anne.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I'm so sorry. You've done so well, though.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Right through to the head-to-head.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07The good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10We'll look forward to that very much indeed. In the meantime,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- thanks very much, Tracey and Anne. - APPLAUSE
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Well done.- Really nice to meet you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15But for Davide and James,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20APPLAUSE
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Congratulations, Davide and James.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You've fought off all the competition
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33- Yay.- Yes.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Well, how fantastic. I mean, you haven't...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Actually, no, you've put one foot wrong. Top Of The Pops,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- that was your only...- Big score, yeah.- Yeah, that was...- Yeah.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I think, with a little time, you'd have worked out
0:35:48 > 0:35:50some of those other ones. The Tube!
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- I don't know... - And From The Basement.- Yeah.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54As soon as Richard said it, I was, like, "Obviously,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57"why would I not say From The Basement?"
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Well, there we are. Listen, you ended up here.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00You get to choose your category
0:36:00 > 0:36:02from the four that we put up on the board.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Today, we've got...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Yeah...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Roaring Twenties, I mean...- No.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19..no. British thriller writers,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- no.- No, erm...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24David Bowie, he's great, obviously.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I don't know if I can remember all the albums
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- but actor turned director... - It has to be actors.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30OK, actors turned director.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Yeah, custom-made for you. I think you might like the questions as well.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:36 > 0:36:39up to April 2014 that was directed by...
0:36:46 > 0:36:49So, any feature film made for cinema release,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51for which any of those three is credited as director
0:36:51 > 0:36:55according to IMDB. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57OK. Now, as always,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01All you need to win that jackpot of £1,000,
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- just one of them has to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10- OK.- OK.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14(Robert Redford directed a film no-one saw, called Lions For Lambs.)
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Brilliant. Good, let's say that. - Oh, we can talk out loud, can't we?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Yeah. - Films directed by Clint Eastwood...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Hereafter was a film that he directed...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Obviously, Million Dollar Baby is the obvious one.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Yeah, I wouldn't go for that.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Er, Sydney Pollack, he directed some great films.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29The Interpreter is a film he directed that won...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- OK.- Maybe they're a bit modern.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35What was the name of the Clint Eastwood movie where he lives next door to that...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36- Gran Torino...- Gran Torino.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39..but we could go for something like Play Misty For me,
0:37:39 > 0:37:40- which is one of his earliest ones...- True.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44..or, like, Sudden Impact - like, a random Harry whatever...
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- OK.- ..Dirty Harry film.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- I would say Lions For Lambs, Robert Redford.- Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49I would say...
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Play Misty For Me sounds like...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- The Interpreter by Sydney Pollack... - OK.- ..cos no-one really watched it
0:37:54 > 0:37:57and Clint Eastwood, I would say Hereafter for the same reason
0:37:57 > 0:37:59but maybe they're all a bit modern, I don't know.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Well, we've got ten seconds left
0:38:00 > 0:38:02so we can probably think of anything more. If not...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Clint Eastwood, I mean... You know, his films are all really popular
0:38:05 > 0:38:07but no-one really watched Hereafter.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09He shot it here and people said it was rubbish. OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11OK, that's your time.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- With all respect to Mr Eastwood, if he's watching.- I know he watches.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Let's have your three answers.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Right, so, the Sydney Pollack, we're going to say...
0:38:19 > 0:38:21The Interpreter.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22The Interpreter.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- And then Clint Eastwood...- Was...
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- What did I just say? - Hereafter.- Hereafter.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Hereafter.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I do hope that's right now...
0:38:31 > 0:38:34and Robert Redford, Lions For Lambs.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Lions For Lambs. Now, of those three, which is your best shot
0:38:37 > 0:38:38at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- I would say Lions For Lambs. - Best shot, Lions For Lambs, yes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42- Lions For Lambs, we'll put last.- Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46The Interpreter, maybe.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- The Interpreter, we'll put first.- Yeah.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54We've got The Interpreter,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Hereafter,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Lions For Lambs. Very, very best of luck. Only one of them
0:38:59 > 0:39:01has to be pointless and I think all three of them look pretty good
0:39:01 > 0:39:04from where I'm standing. I'd say that's a good board of answers.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Let's say one of them is pointless and wins you that 1,000 quid,
0:39:07 > 0:39:08what would you do with it, Davide?
0:39:08 > 0:39:12I'm trekking Mount Kilimanjaro this June.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16It's for an autistic charity based up in North London
0:39:16 > 0:39:19and they can always use some more money. I can always use some more
0:39:19 > 0:39:22money for kit so I think it's going to go towards that, I guess.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Excellent. James?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I'm not so good a person as Davide,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28so I'll probably spend it on myself.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I don't know...
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- I've got some bookshelves I've been meaning to build.- True, you do.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- There you go.- I just haven't had the money, so I'll probably
0:39:37 > 0:39:39build some bookshelves, not myself.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Oh, I see.- Pay someone to build the bookshelves.- Well, that's good.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- That's a very good thing to do. Excellent.- Good answer.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Good answer, well, two very good answers there, to be honest.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, the first answer was The Interpreter.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Let's find out if it's right, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54In this case, obviously, we're looking for Sydney Pollack films.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56If it is right and pointless, you'll win £1,000.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's right.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05So, if this goes all the way down to 0, as I say,
0:40:05 > 0:40:06you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07The Interpreter,
0:40:07 > 0:40:08now going down through the teens
0:40:08 > 0:40:10into single figures.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Still going down. Down it goes,
0:40:11 > 0:40:12still going...
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Wow.- What a first answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21We may have got them in the wrong order, so...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It might be all downhill from here.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Who cares? That's a great answer, a brilliant answer.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29A lovely low score. Sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Your second answer was Hereafter.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35In this case, we were looking for Clint Eastwood films.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You're pretty sure it's a Clint Eastwood film?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Well, in my head it was
0:40:39 > 0:40:44and then I said it and, then, I started to doubt.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Let's find out. If it's right, it then has to be pointless.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50How many people said Hereafter?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It's right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Well, your first answer, The Interpreter,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Hereafter now takes us down through the teens.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03We're back into single figures.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Down it goes, still going down...
0:41:05 > 0:41:08You've done it. Very well done. That is superb.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Very well done. Absolutely brilliant job.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Thank you.- Thank you.- Fantastic.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Oh, that's good.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Well done.- God.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Well, congratulations.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Hereafter, as it turns out, was a pointless answer
0:41:23 > 0:41:25which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- Absolutely superb. - APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Yeah, lovely category. I mean, you've been terrific throughout
0:41:34 > 0:41:38so I'm sure you would have handled all sorts, but a great category.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Your other answer, Lions For Lambs, also 1 point.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Ooh. So, you had two one-pointers there and one pointless answer.- Wow!
0:41:44 > 0:41:47But, yeah, Hereafter, a terrific answer - Matt Damon, from 2010
0:41:47 > 0:41:49and Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen and lots of other things,
0:41:49 > 0:41:53he wrote it as well, but it has been very quickly forgotten.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Now, let's take a look at some other forgotten films.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58There's lots of answers on some of these lists.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01For Clint Eastwood - Changeling, Invictus is a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03J Edgar, there, Sudden Impact,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05which you also mentioned during your 60 seconds.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07You could have had A Perfect World, Absolute Power, Bird,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10you could have had Flags Of Our Fathers, Heartbreak Ridge,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13High Plains Drifter, Letters From Iwo Jima,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Space Cowboys is a pointless answer,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19The Eiger Sanction, The Gauntlet, The Rookie...
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Lots of pointless answers for Clint.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Far fewer for Robert Redford. Just the three in fact.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26You could have had The Conspirator,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29The Legend Of Bagger Vance, which he made with Will Smith
0:42:29 > 0:42:32and you could have had The Milagro Beanfield War.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35For Sydney Pollack,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38you could have had The Way We Were, The Yakuza,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40They Shoot Horses, Don't They? was a pointless answer
0:42:40 > 0:42:41and Three Days Of The Condor.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43I hope you got a pointless answer at home.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Congratulations for getting one in the studio.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thanks very much. Well, thanks once again to our winning players
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Davide and James, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Very well done.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54APPLAUSE
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Join us next time,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
