0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 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 game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hi, Alex. I'm Bob. This is my son Kevin.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Kevin is in outside catering and I'm a semi-retired car park
0:00:45 > 0:00:48attendant and we are both from Ipswich, which is in Suffolk.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Couple number two.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Louisa. This is my housemate, Sara.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm from London, she's from St Albans, and we're both students.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm David. This is my fiancee, Yvonne.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We're from Doncaster.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm a furniture delivery driver and Yvonne is cabin crew.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And finally, couple number four.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Jan and this is my friend Mike.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11We've been friends for as long as either of us can remember.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Mike is from Dorset and I'm from Devon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And these are today's contestants.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Thanks very much all of you. We will find out more about you
0:01:20 > 0:01:21throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26He arrived today in his fact-mobile,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29or as it's known to the rest of us, the number 58 bus.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It might Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hiya. Hi, everybody. Welcome along.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.- How are you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Very well, thank you.- Excellent. Two returning pairs.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Kevin and Bob got through to the head-to-head last time,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43so they are the team to beat.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- And, oh, on podium four, poor Mike and Jan.- Oh, I know.- Ugh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- They had a tennis round.- I know. - They're going to go sailing through.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I know.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Jan made the mistake that people had made before, Jan,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57of attempting to pronounce Goran Ivanisevic's surname.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Very unlucky to be knocked out.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- They'll be looking to prove themselves in this show.- Mm.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Good Round One, actually.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Some people are going to love Round One,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09some people, I think, are going to struggle with it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12OK, interesting. Thank you. All our questions on Pointless
0:02:12 > 0:02:14have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Our contestants are looking for those obscure answers
0:02:16 > 0:02:18our 100 people didn't get.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Of course, everyone is trying to find a pointless answer.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Now, Malcolm and Dawn didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:28 > 0:02:33so today's jackpot starts off with £1,000 added to it at £2,000.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36APPLAUSE
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, now, all you have to remember is that the pair with
0:02:48 > 0:02:51the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So just do what you can not to be that pair.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And also, no conferring till we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, our first category today is...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07who is going to go second?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24First names of US sitcom characters, Richard.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27In a moment, Xander is going to show you the names of four US sitcoms.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We're looking for the first names of any character who's appeared
0:03:30 > 0:03:33in ten or more episodes of any of these sitcoms, please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So the first name of any of the characters who have appeared
0:03:35 > 0:03:39in ten or more episodes. And this is up to February, 2015.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43So as Richard just mentioned,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45we're going to put the names of four sitcoms up on the board.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Let's see what they are. We've got...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Remember, we are looking for the first names
0:03:56 > 0:03:59of characters from any of these four US sitcoms.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, Bob, welcome back to the show. Welcome back.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now, you are semi-retired you said in the introduction.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What did you used to do, Bob?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I was an apprentice-trained printer,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16the exact job title was compositor, at the local newspaper in Ipswich.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Wow. For how many years?- 40 years. Just under 40 years.- That...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You must have seen a massive change, a complete revolution.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25When I started as a lad it was hot metal.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27An I was an I - it was upside down and back to front,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you held in your hand.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Good stuff. So, US sitcoms, Bob.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Um, I'm not a great lover of US sitcoms,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40but I'm going to say one that is going to be pretty obvious,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I think, and I'll say Chandler.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44OK, Chandler. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Chandler.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It's right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- 43. - APPLAUSE
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- 43, Chandler. - Yeah, played by Matthew Perry.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- He's been in 236 episodes of Friends. - There we are.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, now, Sara, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Thank you.- You are a student. What are you studying?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Geography and Education Studies. - How is it going?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Good. Good. Yeah. - Have you nearly finished?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Yeah, it's my last year so graduating soon.- Graduating soon.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Do you know what you're going to do next year?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Be unemployed for a bit, I think? I have not got a clue.- OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- OK.- Yeah, hope for the best. - OK, hope for the best.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Sara, American sitcoms.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I watch a couple of them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I actually watched Arrested Development quite a bit
0:05:34 > 0:05:38the past few months while I've been supposed to be studying.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- So I'm going to go for Maeby as a name.- Maeby. Maeby.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Maeby.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Chandler scored 43. Maeby goes beyond that...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55by quite a way!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58It goes down to 1, Sara. Very well done indeed.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01APPLAUSE
0:06:01 > 0:06:07- 1 for Maeby.- Great answer, Sara. Very well played. 68 episodes, Maeby.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10M-A-E-B-Y in case you are wondering.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Mm.- Beautiful name.- Mm, a pretty name.- It is a pretty name.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- It is a pretty name. - It's a good name as well
0:06:14 > 0:06:16if you don't know if you are having a boy or a girl.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18LAUGHTER
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Very good indeed. Now, Yvonne, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Great to have you here from Doncaster.- Yes.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27And you are cabin crew?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I am, yes.- That's fun. You do long-haul or short-haul?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31A mixture.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- A favourite route? - No, I enjoy them all, to be honest.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I like the mixture and variation. - Aw.- Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I like the short ones just as much
0:06:39 > 0:06:41because you get to meet the passengers that are nice.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And if you want, you can stay out for as long as you like
0:06:44 > 0:06:45in the more far-flung...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Not as long as I'd like always, no. - No.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51So, Yvonne, what are you going to go for?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Um, I don't really know anyone from Arrested Development or
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The Big Bang Theory, so I'm going to go for Norm.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Norm. Norm, says Yvonne.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Norm.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Look at that, down it goes. Wow!
0:07:11 > 0:07:1213.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16APPLAUSE
0:07:16 > 0:07:1813 for Norm.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh, time was where Norm would have been way up in the paint cards.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23No, absolutely. George Wendt played in 271 episodes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- But Cheers, it's very much our generation, isn't it?- Yeah, it is.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It was the Friends of our time, funnily enough.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- It was a big, big juggernaut US sitcom.- Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- But not so much any more. - Not so much. Thank you, Richard.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Now then. Jan, remind us what you like getting up to.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Well, we are both retired now obviously, but we both actually
0:07:44 > 0:07:48work in our local schools helping small children to read.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Very satisfying, isn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And the progress people make with reading just from doing it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yes, exactly. - Yeah, well done, you. Brilliant.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you find time to watch US sitcoms at all?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Sadly, I've found a lot of time to watch sitcoms.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04This isn't sad, this is great news. Music to my ears.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07But I think probably Friends is the one that's going to score
0:08:07 > 0:08:10the highest, so I am going to go for Cheers
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and I'm just going to hope against hope that I've remembered her name.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Oh, not one of these again!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Yeah, it is one of those but I can spell this one. Rebecca.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Rebecca, says Jan. Rebecca. Let's see if it's right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rebecca.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It is right, Jan!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, if Norm scored 13, what is Rebecca going to score?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Ah! Second-best score up the round so far, Jan.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Very well done, indeed.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Impeccable tactics there as well switching to Cheers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Well done, Jan. Played by Kirstie Alley.- Very good.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Let's take a look at our scores. 1, Sara.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51The best score of the pass.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Sara and Louisa looking pretty strong at this point.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Then up to 3 where we find Jan and Mike.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Up to 13, Yvonne and David.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, Bob. Chandler. That was a high score there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Luckily we've got Kevin on hand
0:09:05 > 0:09:09and Kevin has American sitcoms sewn up, don't you, Kevin?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I wouldn't be too sure.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Good. OK, we'll come back down the line now.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Mike. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- We discovered from Jan that you also volunteer.- Yes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I go to a school where I live
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and I'm also teaching a young adult to read.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Are you?- Yes, which is a bit more challenging than helping children.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33That is interesting.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Do you find progress is a bit slower at that age?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- We're making good progress. - That's good. I mean, rewarding.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Hugely rewarding.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45So then, Mike - US sitcoms.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's a big gap in my knowledge, I'm afraid.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I can't put a face... I haven't seen any of those.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Well, Jan has set you up incredibly well.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I know, it's very, very difficult.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57So I'm going to have a guess at what I would regard as a fairly
0:09:57 > 0:10:01common American name, but not in English. I'm going to say Chuck.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Chuck. OK, there is your red line, Mike.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Let's see if Chuck can get you below that. Fingers crossed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09How many people said Chuck? Is it right?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Ohhh, bad luck, Mike.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17For now, you are the high-scorers
0:10:17 > 0:10:20cos that's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Takes your total up to 103. - Sorry, Mike.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24No Chuck anywhere on those four, I'm afraid.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, certainly not in ten episodes or more.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Thanks, Richard. David. So what you do, David?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- I'm a furniture delivery driver. - How long have you done that?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Erm, since the beginning of the year.- Oh, so new?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What we you doing before then?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I was work... I had my own restaurant.- Oh, no.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- What happened to the restaurant? - It didn't work out.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- It was great times, but I had to move on from it.- Oh.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And so how did you and Yvonne meet then?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53She was a customer in my restaurant
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and she started coming in very regularly.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00And eventually, she asked me to recommend a cocktail for her.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05I did like the look of her so I invented one.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And she said to me, "Can you tell me what this cocktail is called?"
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I said, "What is your name?"
0:11:10 > 0:11:13"Yvonne." So I said, "Well, this is an Yvonne." And the rest is history.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- That is smooth, isn't it?- That is...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19That is almost...almost creepy. But, yes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21LAUGHTER
0:11:21 > 0:11:24That's... Well done and, listen, it works. Lord knows what was in it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Listen, you're on 13. You have to score 89 or less
0:11:29 > 0:11:30to get to the next round.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I have a hunch you might be quite good at this.- Yes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm not a massive fan of American comedy,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39but my daughter is a big fan of one of these programmes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- And I'd like to see Sheldon, please. - Sheldon says David. Sheldon.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Here's your red line.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48If you can get below that with Sheldon, you are in Round Two.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Let's see how many of our 100 said Sheldon.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54You've done it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0124.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Takes your total up to 37. Very well done indeed.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Yeah, Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons. Great character.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Your daughter will be delighted you chose Big Bang Theory,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12but then she'll go, "Oh, Dad, you went for the obvious one."
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah, exactly.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Thanks, Rich. Now then, Louisa. Louisa, great news for you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21You can't lose. Doesn't matter what you say,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22you are through to the next round.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25So, Louisa, are you all so about to leave university?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Yes. I've just finished.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Oh, just finished? That's it? - Waiting to graduate, hopefully.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It's just that and all the parties... - HE SIGHS
0:12:32 > 0:12:35That's nice. That's fine. Have you got plans for the summer at least?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Yeah, I'm going on holiday couple of times.- Good. Very good.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43So while you are lying back drinking an Yvonne... Mm.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45As you know, don't...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Whatever you do, don't go for the job you think you're going to do
0:12:48 > 0:12:50after you've drunk an Yvonne. I can't recommend that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Well, listen, as I say, you are already through so why not try
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- and go out on a limb and try and get a lower score than Sara's.- OK.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I've never watched Arrested Development or Cheers,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01but I have watched Friends and Big Bang Theory.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I think probably all of them. So I'm going to go for Gunther.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Gunther.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09OK. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11No red line for you cos you are already through.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Look at that! 10 for Gunther.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Takes your total up to 11, the lowest total of the round.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Well played, Louisa.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And I bet plenty of people at home were saying well played as well
0:13:31 > 0:13:33because he's kind of the seventh friend, Gunther.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36So it's the smart answer on Friends.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Ah, Kevin, welcome back to the show. Remind us what you do.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I work in outside catering.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yes, so we discovered you do all kinds of events.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49But you are quite new to it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51We predominately do weddings, so every Saturday is a different
0:13:51 > 0:13:54venue would and, yeah, very exciting.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56What do you wear for a wedding, Kevin?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Do you have a particular dress or...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I mean, not a dress, obviously. You know what I mean.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Not a dress, even though
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I do predominately do weddings at the weekends, but no dresses.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09No, we have a front house uniform.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You're on 43. You have to score 59 or less.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I don't know much about Arrested Development, Cheers or
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The Big Bang Theory, but the wife is a big fan of Friends.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I think she's watched every episode.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26So I'm going to plump for a character from Friends.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Now, I'm thinking of two lowish ones.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I think Phoebe may have had a boyfriend once called Mike.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40But the one I'm thinking of, I think Joey Tribbiani had a manager,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and I think her name could have been Estelle.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Estelle. Estelle.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47There is your red line.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Let's see if we can get below that red line with Estelle.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52How many of our 100 people said that?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56It's right.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You are in Round Two.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04That is a fantastic low score, Kevin!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Joint lowest score of the round. Very well done.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Taking your total up to 44.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12That's really well played, Kevin. You say your wife's watched all of them.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14You're watching quite a lot as well
0:15:14 > 0:15:16if you're getting those two answers, to be fair.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19You know, there's no pointless answers on Friends at all.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's one of the best answers you could've given.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22If you said Mike, you're absolutely right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Phoebe's boyfriend would've scored 3 points.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It would've been a terrific answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29No pointless answers at all on Friends, but I'll take you through
0:15:29 > 0:15:31some of the pointless answers on the other sitcoms here.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You could have Al from Cheers. Alan also from Cheers.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Debbie Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory. That's a pointless answer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Ernie, which was Coach's first name on Cheers,
0:15:43 > 0:15:44is a pointless answer.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47George-Michael is Michael Cera's character on Arrested Development.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50In fact, every single Arrested Development character was pointless
0:15:50 > 0:15:52other then George, Maeby and Gob.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54They're the only ones that scored any points at all.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Kelly from Cheers.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Lindsay, Portia de Rossi's character on Arrested Development.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Michael, that's Jason Bateman's character on Arrested Development.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06And Priya Koothrappali from Big Bang Theory also a pointless answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12the pair who are heading home with a high score of 103.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Oh, Mike and Jan, I'm sorry. We have to say goodbye to you. I'm so sorry.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Thank you so much for playing. Mike and Jan.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE
0:16:23 > 0:16:26But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33And just like that we were down to three.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And obviously the end of this round, we'll have to be down to two.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:16:43 > 0:16:44UK Towns And Cities.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49who is going to go second?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK. And the question concerns...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05'On' and 'upon'... This is... I've thought of this before, actually.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Have you?- I've seen it and I thought, "Oh, that would be a good category."
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Well, this is great news for you, then.- Isn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15On each board we're going to show you six clues to towns or cities
0:17:15 > 0:17:17in the UK which have on or upon in their names.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You just need to guess the most obscure answer, please.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Six on each board, 12 for you to have a go at at home.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- 12 for you to have a go at as well. - I will. OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Thank you, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK, so we're looking for the names of these towns or cities
0:17:29 > 0:17:31with on or upon in their names.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34They are described by these six clues on the first board.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Kevin, it is over to you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31I'm going to try the Essex coastal town home to the longest
0:18:31 > 0:18:33pleasure pier in the world.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And I believe that that is Southend-upon-Sea.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Southend-upon-Sea. OK, let's see if that is right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Southend.
0:18:49 > 0:18:5027.
0:18:51 > 0:18:5327 for Southend.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55APPLAUSE
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Well done, Kevin. "Southend is the Pier, the Pier is Southend,"
0:18:58 > 0:19:01John Betjeman said. It doesn't rhyme, but he said it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- It's not strictly true either. - It's not really.- How do you mean?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, Southend is the pier. I mean, there's more to it than the pier.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08No, I think he's being poetic.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10"Southend is the Pier, the Pier is Southend."
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Frinton and Clacton are just around the bend.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15LAUGHTER
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Lovely. Now, Sara.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- I have a few ideas for the top three.- Good.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25But I'm not 100% on any of them apart from the first.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26So I'm just going to have to play it safe
0:19:26 > 0:19:28and hope that Louisa can save me.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I'm going to go for the Warwickshire town and say Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Stratford-upon-Avon, says Sara. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It's right. 27 is our only score at this juncture.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46At 48 is what you score for Stratford.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48APPLAUSE
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Yep. Better safe than sorry.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54It's believed he was born on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yvonne.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59This board is all yours, by the way. You can talk us through it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Fill in all the blanks.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Geography is my worst subject and that includes UK geography,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05unfortunately.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09The only one I think I do know, as it's very close to where we live,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13is the East Yorkshire city announced as the UK City of Culture.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It's not Doncaster. I do believe it is Kingston upon Hull.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Kingston upon Hull.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Kingston upon Hull. I think that's a great answer. Let's see.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25And it is right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Well, 27 is the low score.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Oh, you fly past that to 17.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Very well done indeed, Yvonne. That's a great answer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3717 for Kingston upon Hull.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Well played, Yvonne. It beat Leicester, Dundee
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and Swansea to that particular accolade, Kingston upon Hull.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44London Royal Borough.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46You had little thought about it, Sara, but you weren't sure.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- I had Kingston upon Thames. - What would you go for?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- I'd have gone for the, yeah, same. - You're both right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Kingston upon Thames would have been a very low-scorer as well. 5 points.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57The northeast town, do you know that one?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Stockton-upon-Tees.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Stockton-upon-Tees. I remember that from O Level History.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Would've scored you 10. And the Sussex coastal town.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- It's a beautiful place, this pavilion.- I don't really know.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- If I say Bexhill-on-Sea, am I...? - Are you asking me or telling me?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Is that in Sussex, Bexhill-on-Sea? I'm pretty sure.- Are you asking me?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I'm...- Is that your answer?- Yes. I'm going to say Bexhill-on-Sea.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Come on.- Is the correct answer.- Yay! Good.- Very well done. 1 point.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The best answer on the board. Well done if you said it at home.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- You did well, didn't you?- Yeah! OK. We are halfway through around.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3117, well done, Yvonne.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Lovely low score there puts you and David ahead of the game somewhat.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Then up to 27 where we find father and son Kevin and Bob.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43And then up to 48, Sara and Louisa. Little bit ahead of the game there.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45So, Louisa, we need a low score is what I'm saying.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We'll come back down the line now.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56OK, let's put six more clues to 'on' and 'upon' towns on the board.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58And here they are.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'll read those one last time.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45David, there we are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48We're looking for the UK towns or cities with on or upon
0:22:48 > 0:22:52in their names, described by these six clues.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I know a couple of them.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55But I would like to go for
0:22:55 > 0:22:58the Welsh town famous for it's annual book festival,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and say Ross-upon-Wye.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Ross-upon-Wye,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04says David. Ross-upon-Wye. OK, let's see if that's right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09There is your red line representing 30 points, which is
0:23:09 > 0:23:11what you want to get below.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Ross-upon-Wye, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, David, I'm sorry.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I'm really sorry.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25That's incorrect, scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 117.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You made Sara and Louisa very, very happy, though, David.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31OK, now, Louisa.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- OK.- You're on 48. The high-scorers are now David
0:23:34 > 0:23:35and Yvonne on 117.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3868 or less gets you through.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42I know one definitely. And there's one that I'm, like,
0:23:42 > 0:23:43not 100% sure on.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And the one that I know for sure,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm not sure if it's going to be low enough.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'm going to go for the Surrey town,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51home to Sacha Baron Cowen character Ali G.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Say Staines-on-Thames? - Staines-on-Thames, says Louisa.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Staines-on-Thames. Here is your red line.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Let's see how many people said Staines-on-Thames.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's absolutely right. And you are through, well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Great score.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- 54 is your total. - Well played, Louisa.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah, they renamed Staines in 2012
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Staines-upon-Thames.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Bob.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Listen, you are on 27.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29If you can score 89 or less, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I think the one that I am thinking about - not my answer - but I
0:24:34 > 0:24:37was first thinking Henley-on-Thames, but that is not in Oxfordshire.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I think that is in Berkshire. I'm not really sure.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43As I've got a bit of a cushion, I think
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I'll take the easy option and say
0:24:45 > 0:24:47the Northeast city, home to
0:24:47 > 0:24:49St James' Park football stadium
0:24:49 > 0:24:51is Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Newcastle upon Tyne, says Bob. Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Here is your red line.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58If you can get below this with Newcastle upon Tyne,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01you are in the head-to-head. Let's see if Bob can do it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's right. And you've done it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:1167 is your total.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Well played, Bob. It is all you had to do. Not worth taking a risk.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Although, actually, the risk would have paid off.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Henley-on-Thames is in Oxfordshire. 22 points for that.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Now, you are a Northumberland man. - Hm!- Do you know that one?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Berwick-upon-Tweed. - Berwick-upon-Tweed, of course.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Would have scored 10. Now the Nottinghamshire town?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Trent is going to be the river. - Yeah.- It's...
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Newark-on-Trent.- Newark-on-Trent.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Would have scored 3 points. Now, Ross-on-Wye is a place,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42but it is not where the book festival is held, I'm afraid, David.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It is Hay-on-Wye.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Hey!- And would have scored 19 points. The best answer there is
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Newark-on-Trent. Well done if you got that,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51unless you live there. In which case, come on!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- LAUGHING:- Thanks, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56the pair heading home with a high score
0:25:56 > 0:25:59of 117... I'm sorry, David and Yvonne, it's you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Oh, that last podium,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- we have seen lots of people being evicted from there.- Haven't we just?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05We will see you again next time.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Meantime, thanks for playing. David and Yvonne!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12APPLAUSE
0:26:12 > 0:26:15But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Congratulations, Sara and Louisa, Kevin and Bob.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30which currently stands at £2,000.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:26:33 > 0:26:36So now this is where we decide who goes through to the final
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and plays for that jackpot. We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The difference is you can now confer before you give your answers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The first player to win two questions will be
0:26:44 > 0:26:46playing for that jackpot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Famous Hughs, Richard.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I'm going to show you five pictures now of famous people called Hugh.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Can you give us the most obscure of these, please?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five Hughs. And here they are.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11We have got...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31There we go. Five famous Hughs.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Sara and Louisa, you play best throughout the show so far,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36so you will go first.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38THEY WHISPER
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Hugh Grant... The last one is Hugh Hefner.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42THEY WHISPER
0:27:42 > 0:27:44So, we knew three,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47but they're probably all going to be quite high-scoring.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49We are going to take a guess for the one we think would be
0:27:49 > 0:27:52the lowest score. So we're going to go for B and Hugh Jackman.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Hugh Jackman, OK. Hugh Jackman, say Sara and Louisa.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Kevin and Bob.- C is Hugh Grant
0:28:01 > 0:28:05and E, the Playboy guy, Hugh Hefner.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Do you know either A or D?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12No. I could hazard a guess at A - Hugh Gaitskell.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17But that'd be a real long shot, so I think we better go with E.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19OK, we will go for E - Hugh Hefner.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23OK, so we have Hugh Jackman and we have Hugh Hefner.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Sara and Louisa went for Hugh Jackman.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Let's see if that's right for B.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hugh Jackman.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33It's right.
0:28:39 > 0:28:4161 for Hugh Jackman.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Now, meanwhile, Kevin and Bob have gone for E and said Hugh Hefner.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Let's see if Hugh Hefner is right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52It is right.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Will it beat 61? Yes, it will!
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Hugh Hefner, 52.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58APPLAUSE
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Very well done, you have nicked it, Kevin and Bob.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- After one question, you are up 1-nil.- Well played, gents.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It would have been even more spectacular
0:29:05 > 0:29:08if you had gone for Hugh Gaitskell - it is a correct answer.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It would have scored you 12 points.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13C is Hugh Grant.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Very big score. Would have scored you 90.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- And D is the journalist Hugh Pym. - Hugh Pym!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23It seems unfair that everyone else has got these big photos
0:29:23 > 0:29:24and he's had his passport photo used.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Yeah! - LAUGHTER
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Um, thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question now.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Sara and Louisa, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34So best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Oasis, Richard.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I'll give you five clues now to facts about the band Oasis
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and its members. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Good luck.- Let's reveal our five clues, and here they are.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Kevin and Bob, it is over to you.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Do you know any of those? - I think the sitcom is...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36THEY WHISPER
0:30:43 > 0:30:46So, yeah, we know quite a few of them.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49But we are going to go for the name of actress Liam Gallagher
0:30:49 > 0:30:52married in 1997.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- And that was Patsy Kensit. - Patsy Kensit, say Kevin and Bob.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Patsy Kensit.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00So, Sara and Louisa, it is over you.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Talk us through as much of that board as you can.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Liam Gallagher's band, I think, is Beady Eye.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I don't know the Hollywood actor.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And Sara, I think she knows the bottom one.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12The only Oasis album I can think of is What's The Story Morning Glory.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I think. If that is even an Oasis album.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17So I think we're going to go for...Beady Eye?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Yeah, for Liam Gallagher's band, yeah, Beady Eye.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Beady Eye.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24So, we have Kevin and Bob saying Patsy Kensit and Sara and Louisa
0:31:24 > 0:31:27are saying Beady Eye. Kevin and Bob, Patty Kensit, let's see
0:31:27 > 0:31:31if that's right for the actress Liam Gallagher married in 1997.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34It's right.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40APPLAUSE
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Sara and Louisa, meanwhile, have said Beady Eye is
0:31:44 > 0:31:46the name of the band that had the album
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Different Gear, Still Speeding.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Let's see how many of our 100 said Beady Eye.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54It's right.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57And it wins you it, well done.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Back in the game.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Very good indeed.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Which means after two questions, it is 1-all.- Very well played.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07You'd have done even better with the final answer,
0:32:07 > 0:32:08cos you're absolutely right -
0:32:08 > 0:32:11What's The Story Morning Glory was the name of the second album.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- Scored 12 points. Top one there, the sitcom, is...- Royle Family.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Royle Family. Would have scored 31.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20And the Hollywood actor, best answer on the board.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- It was Johnny Depp.- Oh, was it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Would have scored 8 points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Thanks very much. OK, it comes down to the third and final question.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:31 > 0:32:34and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Our third question today concerns...
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Mountain Ranges, Richard.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I'm going to show you five names of mountain ranges now,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43but they are in anagram form.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Best of luck, both teams.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come. We've got...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Sara and Louisa, you will go first.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14THEY WHISPER
0:33:14 > 0:33:16OK, we really can't figure any of these out.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Anagrams aren't our strong... - At all.- ..suit.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I think the top one is the Himalayas.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28OK, Himalayas, say Sara and Louisa, for the top one. Himalayas.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- Now, Kevin and Bob, that board is all yours. Talk us through it.- Sure.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I think the second one down is possibly the Rockies,
0:33:36 > 0:33:37the Rocky Mountains.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43I think the one second from the bottom is the Pyrenees Mountains.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Shall we go for the Pyrenees?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Yeah, we will go for Pyrenees.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47OK, we are going to go for Pyrenees.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Pyrenees. We have Himalayas and Pyrenees.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Sara and Louisa said Himalayas.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Himalayas scoring 61. Not bad.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04APPLAUSE
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Meanwhile, Kevin and Bob have gone for the Pyrenees.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Let's see Yen Spree.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10How many of our 100 people said the Pyrenees?
0:34:13 > 0:34:14It's right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18And it wins you the point, very well done indeed.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21APPLAUSE
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Well done, Kevin and Bob.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Well played, gents. Once again, you knew a better answer up there,
0:34:28 > 0:34:29cos it is Rockies.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34And Rockies would have scored you 17 points. We'll go down to the bottom.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36The bottom is actually the biggest scorer.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Neither team seemed to spot it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39But it is... Do you know that one?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Andes.- Andes, yep.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Would have scored 66.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44And the best answer is Cads Case.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Any idea?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- I can't see it. - Anyone in the audience?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- AUDIENCE:- Cascades. - Cascades is exactly right.
0:34:51 > 0:34:539 points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Thank you very much, Richard. The pair leaving us at the end
0:34:56 > 0:34:57of the head-to-head round...
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I'm sorry to say, Sara and Louisa, it is you.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02The good news is it means we get to see you again next time.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03We look forward to that very much.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Meantime, thanks very much. Sara and Louisa!
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- APPLAUSE - Good luck.- Thank you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13But for Kevin and Bob, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Congratulations, Kevin and Bob, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:20 > 0:35:23and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35There it is.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39APPLAUSE
0:35:39 > 0:35:42As always, you get to choose a category from the four that
0:35:42 > 0:35:43appear on the screen behind me.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Let's see what we have got today.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55We could go for UK Number One Singles,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58but it might be modern stuff, where I'd be useless.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02I think your sports knowledge is better than mine.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Not Horror Film Directors? - No, not Horror Film Directors.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- World Football it is then, yeah? - World Football.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10OK, World Football, Rich.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Let's take a look at the questions. We are looking for...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18..in 2014, '15.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25..in 2015. Or any team who played in the South African...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29..in 2014, 2015.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Any team in those, please. Very best of luck.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39OK. Now, as always, you have got up to one minute to come up
0:36:39 > 0:36:42with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:42 > 0:36:44is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Are you ready?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Your time starts now!
0:36:52 > 0:36:57I think there is a team that plays in the Argentinian league called...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Boca. Um...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Is that all you need to know or is it Boca something else?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Yeah, it is Boca something else.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06You are on your own here, Kev,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08cos I couldn't name a single team from any of those.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I think there is an Arsenal in the Argentinian league.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12- Boca Juniors.- Sounds good.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Boca Juniors, I think, plays in Argentina.- That sounds good.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I think there is an Arsenal that plays
0:37:17 > 0:37:20in the Argentinian Premier League as well.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Right.- Sounds strange, but I think there is an Arsenal.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25So there are my two - Boca Juniors and Arsenal.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26The other two...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Do you want to guess at maybe the Wallabies or the Springboks?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32No, because both of those are rugby teams, aren't they?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Well, you could try Australian.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Um...- Australian Wallabies? - A-league teams.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Now, I've got one I'm going to go for, I think.- OK.- Yep. OK, yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- Ten seconds left.- So what is that one?- That is the Penrith Panthers.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- That's not soccer. - It's not? It's not soccer?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I think it is Australian Rules.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55What are you going to give me?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59OK, so the first one was an Argentinian football team.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Boca Juniors.- The Boca Juniors.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Yeah. I also believe there is a team playing in Argentina called Arsenal.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Arsenal. - As strange as that may sound.- OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11And we are going to make up a third?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Make one up for an Australian A-league team.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19We need a major town or city and something football-y after it.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- OK, so the Sydney Wallabies? - The Sydney Wallabies.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23The Sydney Wallabies.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- I think probably Boca Juniors. - Boca Juniors go last.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I think we know is probably the Sydney Wallabies.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Go, the Wallabies! OK, well, let's put them up on the board
0:38:37 > 0:38:39in that order, then. And here they are.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Very, very best of luck.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Now, two pretty confident answers on that board there from Kevin.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Let's just suppose that at least one of those is pointless.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55What would you do with your winnings, Kevin?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59£1,000. I would probably put that towards a family holiday.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04I've got three young children - Charlie, Vinnie and Lucy. Hello.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- So, yeah, family holiday. - Family holiday, very nice.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Bob, how about you?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I think I would give it to Kevin
0:39:11 > 0:39:14and then he could take his resident baby-sitters with him.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- LAUGHTER - His mum and dad.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Very good indeed. Well, very best of luck.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Three answers on the board. Your first answer, the one you are
0:39:23 > 0:39:25probably least of confident in, is the Sydney Wallabies.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28In this case, we were looking for Australian A-league teams.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's see if the Sydney Wallabies features on that list.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33And if it does, let's see if it is pointless.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35How many people said it for £2,000?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Oh!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Not a pointless answer there.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Only two more shots at today's jackpot,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48but we are now very much on terra firma, aren't we?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Your next answer, and in this case we were looking for Argentinian
0:39:51 > 0:39:56Primera A teams, you have gone for a team called Arsenal.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Let's discover if that is correct.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01If it is pointless, you will win £2,000.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03How many people said Arsenal?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06It's right.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08That one paid off, Kevin, very well done indeed.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Your first answer, Sydney Wallabies,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12unsurprisingly, was incorrect.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Arsenal taking us through the teens,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15single figures. Down it goes.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Still going down, still going down...
0:40:17 > 0:40:181!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22So close! So close.
0:40:23 > 0:40:241!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Very well done indeed. That is a fantastic score.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31From 100 to 1 in two answers.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Still not a pointless answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37In this case, your last answer - Boca Juniors.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41We were looking for, again, Argentinian Primera A teams.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Let's find out if Boca Juniors is correct.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Let's find out how many people said it.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48If it is pointless, it'll win you £2,000. Boca Juniors.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50It's right.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Go on, mate.- Your first answer, Sydney Wallabies, was incorrect.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Your second answer, Arsenal, took us all
0:40:55 > 0:40:57the way down to 1. Boca Juniors is correct,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00taking us down through the teens, down it goes...
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Oh, no!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Well done, well done.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Well, I have to say, hats off to you. That was a fiendish round.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I mean, really, really, really tough. Unfortunately,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22It has been fabulous having you on both shows. You played so well.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- And you get a Pointless trophy each. - Of course!- So there we are.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You did very, very well. It is really unlucky.
0:41:32 > 0:41:341-nil to the Arsenal, I'm afraid.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Sydney Wallabies, I'm afraid they went down last season.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39They're up, then down, up, then down.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42No, they don't exist. Sydney FC would have scored you 20 points.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Boca Juniors is actually the second biggest scorer
0:41:44 > 0:41:47of the Argentinian ones. River Plate would've scored you 18.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Let's look at the pointless answers. We'll start with Australia.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53You said let's go for a major city and a football name.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54You could've had...
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Those are the only four pointless answers,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04so very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08The Argentinian teams now, let's take a look at a few of those.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14All of those, pointless answers.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17The only ones that scored were River Plate, Boca Juniors,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Newell's Old Boys, Independiente,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Banfield, Velez Sarsfield, Arsenal,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Estudiantes and San Lorenzo.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Everything else was pointless.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Let's take a look at the South African Premier Division teams.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Ajax Cape Town, that is a good name for a team.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Again, not many scorers there.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Kaiser Chiefs, unsurprisingly, scored a few points - 9.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic were
0:42:40 > 0:42:42the only teams to score any points at all.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45So if you got any others, very well played.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47You have been brilliant for two shows now.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Really unlucky way to go out. I hope you have enjoyed
0:42:49 > 0:42:52your time with us. We certainly enjoyed having you.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Thanks very much. Unfortunately,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56we say goodbye to you, Kevin and Bob, but it has been fabulous,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58as Richard says, having you on both shows.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01What a great performance. Thank you so much for playing. Kevin and Bob.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- APPLAUSE - Thank you, thank you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Sadly, Kevin and Bob didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:43:09 > 0:43:13rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15APPLAUSE
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22And it is goodbye from me. Goodbye.
