0:00:14 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and Welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:27 > 0:00:29is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players. APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hi, My name's Kirsty and this is my colleague Karen.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We both work for central government and we both come from London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- I'm Dave. This is my lovely wife, Sandra.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50We're from Liverpool. I'm a capacity planner, Sandra's a housewife.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Brian. I'm a software engineer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54This is my sister-in-law, Pat.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57She's a homemaker and we're both from Northern Ireland.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, my name's Eamonn.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I work for the NHS and this is my girlfriend, Riona.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05She's a freelance makeup artist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And these are today's contestants.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Thanks very much all of you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The factual froth atop our quizzical cappuccino,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Afternoon. Oh, afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We've had some really, really good shows recently, some real crackers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34There are some familiar faces on today's as well,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38who were on our last show. We've got Dave and Sandra coming back.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Lovely to see them. Didn't see too much of you last time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It would be lovely to see a bit more of you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45On podium four, we've got Riona and Eamonn.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Knocked out by Ricky and Stuart
0:01:46 > 0:01:49in a very, very tense second round, didn't they?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Just a last-minute 1 point answer by Ricky saw you knocked out.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And then our head-to-headers last time, Pat and Brian.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Lovely to have you back as well. - Thank you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Seems a bit unfair that Kirsty and Karen are on podium one
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- when everyone else has played before.- I know.- Now, last show...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Yes.- It's a lesson to anyone watching to revise. Revise, revise, revise.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ricky and Stuart who are lovely fellows and very bright,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12but on the way down, they'd revised two topics.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16One was Turner Prize winners, one was Booker Prize winners
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and the subject came up, Booker Prize winners.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- They took home £3,500 thanks to that.- Brilliant.- Hmm.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26They did not have a clue what they were talking about,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but they had learned some names. If you asked them today,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31they wouldn't be able to name you a Booker Prize winner,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35but for that brief golden moment in the sun, they knew it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Very exciting indeed.- Lucky.- Yeah, lucky, is what I call it. Thanks.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Stuart and Ricky won the jackpot last time,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Let's see if we can build that up with some pointless answers
0:02:47 > 0:02:50over the show. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53APPLAUSE
0:02:54 > 0:02:57All I'm going to say to you is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:57 > 0:03:00at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02That's all I'm going to say. That's it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04OK, our first category today is...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Oh, Karen, it's going to be fine.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's going to be absolutely fine. History.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:13 > 0:03:16who's going first, who's going second.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Bs in History. Richard.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Bees In History would be a great topic, wouldn't it?- Wouldn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Famous Bees.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We're simply going to ask you seven questions on each pass,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40seven historical questions. All the answers begin with B.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Let's put our first board of clues up. Seven of them.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I'll read those once again.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Karen, a very warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- What do you do?- I'm a civil servant.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I work for Government Digital Service,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58so we do online transactions, government online transactions.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I see. And what do you like doing
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- when you're not doing online government transactions?- Dancing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Love to dance.- Love to dance.- Bit of karaoke.- Do you do formal dancing?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- No.- Do you do dancing where you go and do classes?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- No, just normal dancing.- Just normal dancing, but I'm great at it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18LAUGHTER
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You didn't need to tell me that, Karen.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23How great are you about these Bs from history?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- They're an eclectic mix, I'd say. - Uh-huh.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK, I'm going to go for the one that is probably the most obvious,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but it's the one that I know. I'm going to go for Brazil.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Brazil for...? - South American country,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40first won the FIFA World Cup.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, Brazil, 1958. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brazil.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's right.
0:05:51 > 0:05:5262.
0:05:52 > 0:05:5462. Not bad. A lot better than 100
0:05:54 > 0:05:58and you might have taken an answer that someone else knew off the board,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01so tactically, very shrewd.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Scary on that first podium as well. - It always is.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07That was the first World Cup of Pele as well, 17-year-old Pele.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Now then, Dave. Welcome back.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11What happened last time, Dave? Talk us through that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Well, we got US geography and I think the first answer was OK
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and then the second answer was all right,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23but two decent answers, we just got beaten by better answers.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Anyway, we'll put that behind us. Dave, tell us what you do.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- I'm a capacity planner.- You all know what that is. He plans capacity.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36But when you're not doing that, what excites you?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm a musician in my spare time.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm kind of between bands at the moment
0:06:40 > 0:06:43but I've been in Beatles cover bands in the past.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Who were you in the Beatles cover band?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I was, because of the obvious physical similarity,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I was Paul McCartney.- Paul McCartney is exactly what I was about to say.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- You can tell.- Obviously, yes. Did you come in on mic though?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- # Woo. # And things like that. - I was woo-ing all over the place.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Ah, I'd love to see that. - I need money first.- OK, fair enough.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Now, Dave, these Bs from history.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK, I have a couple.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I am going to go for the name that links
0:07:09 > 0:07:14the first Chancellor of Germany and the battleship as Bismarck.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Bismarck. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bismarck.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Let's see if it's right.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22It IS right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, 62 you pass.
0:07:24 > 0:07:2740. We have a new low score.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29APPLAUSE
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- 40 for Bismarck.- Well played, Dave.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Otto von Bismarck, of course, was the Chancellor.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The ship did not have a first name.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38LAUGHTER
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Brian, welcome back.- Thank you. - Welcome back.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Great to have you here from County Armagh. But you work in County Down.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That's correct. Our office is located in Carlingford Lough.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's a beautiful spot, so we can see the Cooley Mountains
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and then the foothills of the Mourne Mountains on the other side.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Lovely.- It's a beautiful setting.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Brian, what do you do when you're not working?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I used to play a trombone
0:08:00 > 0:08:04but I've given that up just being busy with work and stuff like that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Used to play a bit of golf but, again,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09that was knocked on the head for the pressures of work, so...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- But you have your own company, you see.- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Are you good at NOT working?- No.- Or do you go home and you're still...?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19You pick up the trombone and think, "Actually, no, I'm going to..."?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Because I'm a software engineer, it's a PC and I just lift it,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26bring it home with me and then you can plug it straight back in at home
0:08:26 > 0:08:28and continue working.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31How many times do you go down in the middle of the night
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- when you can't sleep? - No, I don't do that. Very rarely.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Very rarely, very rarely. OK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Now, Brian, what are you going to go for on this board of Bs?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41There's a couple I would make an educated guess at
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and there's a couple I'm fairly certain I know the answer to,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so I'll go with a banker and go for the bottom one,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50the name of Disraeli and it's Benjamin.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- OK, Benjamin.- Yeah. - Let's see if Benjamin is right
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and let's see any of our 100 people said Benjamin.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's right. 62's our high score. No, it's not. 72...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06APPLAUSE ..is now our high score.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Quite a high score, that one.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11He was supposedly Queen Victoria's favourite prime minister.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Thank you, Richard. OK, now, Riona.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- You were put through the mill last time. That was tough.- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You thought you were through, you thought you were through
0:09:20 > 0:09:24and then Ricky suddenly pulls a score of 1 out at the end of the round.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Yeah.- Now, Riona, remind us what you do.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I'm a makeup artist and I work in fashion.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Which means you never get to do comedy makeup
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- where you have to put scars on people...- No.- ..or black eyes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- No, never, it's just making people look nice.- Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43What's the weirdest makeup you've had to do?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I've taped people's faces back with tape.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47They do that to me before each show, actually.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49LAUGHTER
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Riona, this is all your board.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54This is all yours, so why not try and walk us through it, if you can.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I mean, the first one, a chemical element,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00maybe it was named after his surname, balaroxide.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- That's not my answer! - LAUGHTER
0:10:03 > 0:10:07The third one, I'm thinking Buddhism.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And then second from the bottom,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'd guess maybe Budapest.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- I'm going to go with Buddhism for the third one.- Buddhism.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20OK, Buddhism, for Siddhartha Gautama.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Buddhism.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29It's right. Now, 72's our highest score. You've already passed that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:3140's our low. You passed that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:3535. Well done, Riona. A gutsy call. APPLAUSE
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Lowest score of the round so far. - Well done, Riona.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Never have I seen anybody look as happy as Eamonn was
0:10:41 > 0:10:44that someone said Buddhism instead of Budapest.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46LAUGHTER
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That's what THAT expression said. Not the Hanging Gardens of Budapest.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
0:10:53 > 0:10:5579 points for that.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59The chemical element was bromine.
0:10:59 > 0:11:016 points for that. The painter?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Botticelli.- Botticelli.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And that scored 26 points.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Thank you. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1335, Riona, very well done indeed. Phew, pressure off, you can relax.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Job well done. We travel up from there to 40,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18where we find Dave and Sandra.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Up to 62, Karen and Kirsty.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23And then up to 72, Brian and Pat.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Pat, we need a low score from you. - I'll do my best.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30We need a low score. That was quite punishingly high that, wasn't it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Could the second players step up to the podium?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Eamonn, welcome back. Now then, Riona set you up very well there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Nice, nice low score of 35.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Remind us what you do, Eamonn.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I work as an office manager for the NHS.- For the NHS.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- And before that, a croupier.- Correct. - How long did you do as a croupier?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03It was about seven years in total, actually. The seven-year itch.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Presumably why I... - Yeah, you just had to move on.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Did you enjoy the croupier bit?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11It was fun but the hours weren't particularly conducive
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- to having a healthy and fulfilled life.- No, that's true.- Not cricket.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Your card skills must be second to none.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Oh, yeah, make your eyes water. - I bet it would.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Just all the air coming from the flipping cards.- Yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I mean flipping cards, you know. LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Right, Eamonn, there you are. 35.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35If you can score 36 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40OK, I think I know four of them, so I'm going to go for the country
0:13:40 > 0:13:44that declared its independence from West Pakistan as Bangladesh.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Bangladesh, says Eamonn. Here's your red line.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49If you can get below that with Bangladesh, you are into Round Two.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bangladesh.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:0056 for Bangladesh.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03APPLAUSE 56 takes your total up to 91.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I think that will probably see you through.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Yeah, big score but we've seen all sorts of big scores in this round.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Lots of big scores out there. It's very low-lying, Bangladesh.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13In 1998, when they had the flooding,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16two-thirds of the country was under water.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Whoa.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- OK, now, Pat. Pat, good afternoon to you.- Good afternoon.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Lovely to have you back. Lovely emerald-coloured top you're wearing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Yes, in keeping with the Irish. - Indeed. Indeed, indeed.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Now, Pat, remind us what you do? You're a homemaker.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Yes, I'm mostly a homemaker
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- but I do a wee bit of singing on the side as well.- Exactly.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39You also sing in a choir, is that right?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41There are a group of five of us and we do charity concerts
0:14:41 > 0:14:43in our local town and our local county.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49- We do songs from the musicals. - Do you sing in harmony?- All the time.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- I'm an alto, yeah.- So, a close-harmony group, that's fun.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Fabulous, yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Very good indeed. OK, now, you are on 72,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- so 18 or less is what we require from you.- Oh, gosh, right.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Well, I was going to say Bangladesh, but obviously, I can't now.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, there are two others that I think I'm... Actually, three others.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09But I think I'll go for the French national holiday
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and go for Bastille Day.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Bastille, says Pat. Here's your red line.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Quite low. But if you can get below that, or near that, with Bastille,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19you should be doing pretty well.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Let's see how many of our 100 said Bastille.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Ooh, 69.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Quite a high score there. APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:34141 is your total, but the round is not over yet, by any means.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Yes, commemorating the storming of the Parisian prison.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Now then, Sandra, welcome back.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Remind us what you do, Sandra. - I stay at home. I'm a housewife.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- And you have children?- Three girls. - Three girls.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Loud, loud, loud. - LAUGHTER
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- They're going to see this, aren't they?- What are they called?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Abby, Charlotte and Jennifer. - Excellent.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Abby, Charlotte and Jennifer.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06And what do you do when you have time to yourself, Sandra?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I like to sew. I like to make dresses.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11How many of the things you're wearing now
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- are of your own manufacture? - I didn't trust my...at all.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18You can see it in the nightmares, can't you, just disintegrating?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I think that sounds wonderful, absolutely fantastic.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Now, Sandra, you are on 40. You are through to the next round,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27come what may. Even if you scored 100 points,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29you would be in Round Two, which is great news.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33How are you finding our board of Bs? Like beard of bees but...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I know one for sure, but seeing as... I'll take a risk.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The first name of Yeltsin,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- I think it's Boris. - Boris, says Sandra.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Were you going to say that, Kirsty? - I'm so sorry.- That's all right.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48LAUGHTER
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I can recognise the look of somebody who's just had their answer taken.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Boris, says Sandra. Let's see if it's right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59No red line, as you're already through.
0:17:01 > 0:17:0379. APPLAUSE
0:17:03 > 0:17:0679 takes your total up to 119.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11In fact, saved Kirsty there cos that would have seen her knocked out.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Boris Yeltsin, 79 points. - Now, Kirsty, you've sat waiting
0:17:15 > 0:17:19while all your answers have been taken, all those really good answers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Kirsty, what do you do? - I also work for central government
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and I'm a digital geek in the Ministry of Justice.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29The Ministry of Justice. So, in Whitehall?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- No, no, no.- No.- Yes, I mean.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35LAUGHTER
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I understand. Not really allowed to say!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Yeah, no, no, yes, sort of, yes. - Yes, if you want.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Yeah, if you like, it could be Whitehall.- Maybe.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- You could just do it from home, couldn't you?- I do. Or maybe not...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And what do you do when you're not doing that, Kirsty?
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Well, I've got a bucket list that I'm currently working through, so...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Does it get longer and longer, your list?- No, I've restricted it to 100.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01That's good. What's the most exciting thing you've done so far?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- I've dived with great white sharks. That was pretty...- In South Africa?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Yeah, South Africa.- In a cage?- Yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I can't swim either which was quite interesting.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13And sharks CAN, I don't know if you know that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16LAUGHTER
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Oh, dear. And anything pressing on your list?- Pointless.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Starring on Pointless as a contestant.- That is good.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- This is on your bucket list? - Yes, it was.- That's wonderful.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I will say, though, "starring" was on the bucket list.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Briefly.- The jury's still out. - LAUGHTER
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- OK, that board's all yours, Kirsty. - Oh, thanks.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- You have to score 78 or less. That's fine.- Yeah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:4078 or less and, as Richard said,
0:18:40 > 0:18:4679 was what Boris scored, so that would have been a costly one.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51So, I'm going to go for the only one I know there which is Bell.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Alexander... So, which one, I mean? LAUGHTER
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Sorry. Which...?- The poet. No, the Scottish-born inventor.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04The Scottish-born inventor. Alexander Graham Bell, you say.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, here's your red line. If you get below that,
0:19:07 > 0:19:08you're through to the next round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bell.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's right.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Ooh, 79!
0:19:17 > 0:19:2179, which means...which means
0:19:21 > 0:19:25you have a total of 141. Pat and Brian have a total of 141.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- We are in a state of lockdown. - Lockdown.- Lockdown!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- TOGETHER:- # Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Lockdown! #
0:19:32 > 0:19:33THEY BEAT RHYTHM
0:19:33 > 0:19:37# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, lockdown. #
0:19:37 > 0:19:39THEY BEAT RHYTHM
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Where are the monks?- Hold on. You've caught the monks unawares.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The monks are in Wetherspoons.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45LAUGHTER
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We are going to get them a taxi to try and race them round here,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50but if not, we'll have to start without the monks.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52OK, we'll start without the monks.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55OK, as it is a tie and we are in a state of lockdown...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- # Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, lockdown. # - Tch-go-go-tch.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Oh, one day we'll have the monks, won't we?- Mmm.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Now, OK, so, as it's a tie,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09the tied pairs each have to give one more answer each
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and the pair that has
0:20:11 > 0:20:14the highest score will be leaving us.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18You can confer before you give these answers, which is good.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, Kirsty and Karen will go first.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think we're going to have to guess.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25So, why don't we guess the poet?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Do you know any others?- No. - OK, good.- Good.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So, let's guess
0:20:30 > 0:20:34and make up Benjamin Britten, that famous Romantic poet.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Benjamin Britten. OK. I tell you what, he begins with B.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Now, Pat and Brian. - We'll go for the second one,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46the 18th century arch in Berlin,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- as the Brandenburg Gate. - The Brandenburg Gate.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53OK, so we have Benjamin Britten and the Brandenburg Gate.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Let's see if Benjamin Britten's right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00No! I'm afraid, I'm sorry.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I'm afraid he's simply not. Scores you 100 points.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Takes your total up to 241.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So, Pat and Brian, you have to score 99 or less
0:21:09 > 0:21:11with your answer,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14the Brandenburg Gate. Let's see if that's right
0:21:14 > 0:21:17and let's see how many of our 100 people said Brandenburg Gate.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- It's right.- Oh, Brian, well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's a good answer as well. 32, taking your total up to 173.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32APPLAUSE
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well played, Pat and Brian.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The only answer that would have seen you through is that top one.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- The Edward Heath college. Do you know that one?- Balliol.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Balliol, absolutely. 17. And the Romantic poet.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- It wasn't Benjamin Britten. - Byron.- Byron, yep.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49And that would have scored 37 points.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Thank you very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54the pair who are heading home with their high score of 241,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I'm afraid it's Kirsty and Karen.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I'm sorry. We went through lockdown together, though, which is nice.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- Exactly.- That's kind of starring.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We beat the 200 Club.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06You beat them easily into a cocked hat, I'd say.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's been lovely having you on. See you next time.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11We look forward to that. Kirsty and Karen, great contestants.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Thanks so much. APPLAUSE
0:22:15 > 0:22:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21APPLAUSE
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And then, just like that...there were three pairs.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And at the end of this round, we'll have to lose another pair.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But Dave and Sandra, well done. This is what Round Two looks like.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Nice to have you here. Riona, well done, you.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Our lowest individual score of the whole round. Fantastic.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Well played on the far podium there. And, Pat and Brian, just well done.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Acting Pairs. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57who's going second. Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03OK, and the question concerns...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Film Co-stars, Richard.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11In a moment, Xander's going to show you six pairs of film stars.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13We're looking for the name of any feature film
0:23:13 > 0:23:15made for cinema release up to April, 2015,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17in which they starred together.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19So, they both have to have a credit on IMDb.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Any film in which any of these people starred together, please.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Very best of luck.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So, we're going to put six pairs up on the board.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29They're going to remain up for the whole round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31You don't need to say which pair's in which film.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33You just need to give the name of a film
0:23:33 > 0:23:35that one of these pairs has been in.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Let's reveal our six pairs. We have got...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'll read those one last time.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58There we are.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03So, we're looking for any film that stars any of these pairs of actors.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05OK, Sandra.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Right, I think I know one definitely,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10but I don't want to take a risk,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14so I'll go for, I think it's Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Hot fuzz. OK, let's see if it's right
0:24:16 > 0:24:18and let's see how many of our 100 people said Hot Fuzz.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Not bad, Sandra, well done. 27.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30APPLAUSE 27 for Hot Fuzz.
0:24:30 > 0:24:342007 comedy thriller with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Directed by the brilliant Edgar Wright.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Brilliant, indeed. Now, Brian.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Not really my strongest suit,
0:24:41 > 0:24:47- but I'm going to go for Dallas Buyers Club.- Dallas Buyers Club.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Yeah.- Dallas Buyers Club, says Brian. Let's see if it's right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Ooh.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Ooh, bad luck, Brian. I'm afraid that's incorrect
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and scores you 100 points.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Yeah, not starring any of those pairs up there, I'm afraid,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Dallas Buyers Club. - Thank you very much.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Now, Eamonn, Eamonn,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15how are we feeling about this board of pairs, acting pairs?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Not great, but I can certainly have a stab in the dark.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22So, I'm going to go for Shaun Of The Dead.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Shaun Of The Dead, says Eamonn. Let's see if that's right.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Let's see how many of our 100 said Shaun Of The Dead.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's right.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3729. APPLAUSE
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Not bad at all.
0:25:39 > 0:25:4129 for Shaun Of The Dead.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yes, a sort of precursor to Hot Fuzz.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and Edgar Wright directing again.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:25:50 > 0:25:5227, the best score of that pass, Sandra. Well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Sandra and Dave looking strong at this point.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Then up to 29, Eamonn and Riona
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and then Brian and Pat, 100 points there.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I don't know what to say, except to suggest, perhaps,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- that on the next pass...- I get zero. - Let's have a pointless answer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Maybe that'll see you through. We'll come back down the line now.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Now then, Riona.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19The Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm thinking it's either a really modern film that I can't think of
0:26:23 > 0:26:27or it's really old because I cannot picture them in a movie together.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32And Jennifer Lawrence, Hunger Games is coming into my head.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I'm going to go with Hunger Games. - OK, The Hunger Games says Riona.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Let's see if that's right. Here's your red line.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41If you can get below that with The Hunger Games, you are through,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but it has to be right. Let's see if it is. How many people said it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Bad luck.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I'm afraid another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points,
0:26:52 > 0:26:53takes your total up to 129.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence in that,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- but no Bradley Cooper in The Hunger Games.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Now then, Pat. You have a target. - Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- 28 or less.- Right. There are a few,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09it's just trying to work out which is going to have the lowest score.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11But I'm going to take a chance,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15cos I think we need to, and say The Odd Couple.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20The Odd Couple, says Pat. The Odd Couple. Here's your red line.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Get below that, you're in the head-to-head again.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Odd Couple.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35You've done it!
0:27:35 > 0:27:3725! APPLAUSE
0:27:39 > 0:27:41125 is your total.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Wonderful film from 1968 with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- That's a film worth watching, isn't it?- Yeah! Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Now then, Dave, I have good news for you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57You are through to the head-to-head. Talk us through your thoughts.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59The Odd Couple was my banker.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to say The Odd Couple, no problem,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05"that's all I've got." But, whilst thinking about that,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08another one popped into my head and that's Paul.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Paul, says Dave. No red line, as you're already through,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13but let's see how many of our 100 people said Paul.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:2416.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 43.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Lovely low total there, Dave and Sandra.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again in Paul. Well played.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Lots of pointless answers here. Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Buddy Buddy - that's Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Marvin's Room - that's De Niro and Streep.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Out To Sea - Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as well.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn
0:28:46 > 0:28:48and The Boxtrolls - both Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51The Front Page is Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Othello - that's Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58The Grass Harp - that's Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and The Last September - also Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I'm sorry to say the pair with a high score of 129
0:29:08 > 0:29:11who are going to be leaving, it's Riona and Eamonn.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye to you.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15You've been fantastic contestants.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I'm sorry we floored you with this one, but thank you for playing.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Riona and Eamonn, great contestants. APPLAUSE
0:29:24 > 0:29:26For the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28APPLAUSE
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Congratulations, Dave and Sandra, Pat and Brian.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36You're now one step closer to the final
0:29:36 > 0:29:42and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Well, you know the drill.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50You can now confer before you give your answers.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56APPLAUSE
0:29:59 > 0:30:03OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Starchy Fruit And Veg, Richard.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13We're going to show you five pictures of starchy fruit and veg.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We've also given you the initial of the starchy fruit or veg.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21So, let's reveal our five starchy fruit and veg.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Here they come. We've got...
0:30:41 > 0:30:45There we go. Five starchy fruits and veggies.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Well, I mean, Dave and Sandra, how things have changed.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Last show, you were out first round.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Here you are, our lowest-scoring pair. Absolutely fantastic.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Anyway, you've been our lowest-scoring pair,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00so you will be going first. Feel free to confer.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Right, we'd like to go for D, water chestnut.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14Water chestnut, say Dave and Sandra. Water chestnut.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Now then, Pat and Brian. You were our golden pair last time.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20What are you going to go for?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23The obvious correct answer is E which is parsnip.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29- C, it doesn't look like the shape... - No.- The shape of what?- The coconut.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31But the letters.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33A and B, I don't know, Brian,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- so I think we'll play safe and say parsnip?- Yeah.- E, parsnip.- Yeah.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40OK, so we have water chestnut, we have parsnip.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Dave and Sandra said water chestnut for D.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said water chestnut.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It's right.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's a good answer. 29 for water chestnut.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58APPLAUSE
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Meanwhile, Pat and Brian have said E is parsnip. E, parsnip.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13It's right. Ooh. I barely had time to say it was right.
0:32:13 > 0:32:1694. I think that's fairly conclusive. Dave and Sandra, well done.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Let's go backwards. We'll start with C.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Do you know that one? - I don't know what that is.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's where we get tapioca starch from. It's the cassava.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Oh, thanks, cassava. - That would have scored you 5 points.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- B?- Plantain.- Plantain. Very closely related to the banana.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35That would have scored you 47 points.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39And A is the best answer on the board. Do you know A at all?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- It's a squash, I think. - It is a type of squash.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- It's an acorn squash.- Oh, right. - It would have scored you 2 points.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Well done to the two people in our 100 who got that and anyone at home.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Thanks. Here comes your second question.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Pat and Brian, you get to answer it first,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Best of luck. It concerns...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Countries Made From Chemical Symbols.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You need to know your chemical symbols for this one.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07We're going to give you five lists of elements
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and if you put their chemical symbols together,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12they spell out the names of countries.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15What fun. Let's reveal our chemical elements and here they come.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'll read those again.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Phew. Pat and Brian, you will go first.- OK.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- What do you think?- Yeah, we're struggling a bit with these.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- No, I think we'll go for Copper Barium.- Yeah, OK.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04We'll go for Copper Barium and say Cuba.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07OK, Cuba, say Pat and Brian. Cuba.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Now then, Dave and Sandra,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13do you fancy talking us through the rest of them?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I think the top one is Argentina.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Then I think it's Poland, then Iceland
0:34:20 > 0:34:22and then Singapore.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26So, I would probably go for...Singapore.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Are you happy?- Yeah.- Singapore. - Go for Singapore at the bottom.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31So we have Cuba, we have Singapore.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Now, Pat and Brian said Cuba. Let's see if that's right.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Let's see how many people said it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It is right.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4433.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Meanwhile, Dave and Sandra have gone for Singapore at the bottom there.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Let's see if that's right
0:34:53 > 0:34:56and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Singapore.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00It is right.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03And if this goes below 33, which it does,
0:35:03 > 0:35:06you are through to the next round. Well done. 13 for Singapore.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09APPLAUSE Very well done.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Dave and Sandra, after only two questions, you are straight through.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- 2-0.- Terrific play. Took us through the board beautifully as well.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I can actually hear a nation of living rooms,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20where one person's explaining what this question is to somebody else.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24If you don't understand it, don't worry. It needn't detain you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- But it's fun, isn't it? It's a fun question.- It is great fun.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29And you're absolutely right about all the other ones.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34You got Ar-Ge-N-Ti-Na, Argentina, at the top there.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Singapore was actually the best answer.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You knew all of them and you chose the best one. Well played.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Thanks very much. So, the pair leaving us
0:35:52 > 0:35:54at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:35:54 > 0:35:57They've done so well, twice into the head-to-head round.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I mean, really, a very, very strong performance across both shows,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05It's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks for playing.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:36:09 > 0:36:11For Dave and Sandra, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14APPLAUSE
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, congratulations, Dave and Sandra.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19You fought off all the competition
0:36:19 > 0:36:22and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Thank you so much.- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:31 > 0:36:34and at the end of today's show, the jackpot,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36there it is, stands at £1,000.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Well, I don't know what happened.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39You've taken yourselves off after the last show
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and given yourselves a stern talking-to
0:36:42 > 0:36:45or maybe done some revision. Been incredible, the turnaround.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Yeah, lots of revision really, wasn't it?
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- Lots of practice and harsh words. - A splash of cold water on the face.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55LAUGHTER Exactly, exactly.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Anything you'd particularly love to see in this last round
0:36:58 > 0:37:00that'll help you take that jackpot home?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I'm a big fan of the Beatles, there's Terry Pratchett,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06literature and stuff that I really like.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Anything like that I think I'd really enjoy.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10OK, well, very best of luck.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Let's hope there's something on the board you like the look of.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16As you know, you choose your category from four options we give.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- What's your strongest? - Well, football's a big thing for me.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I just can't think what South Coast Football would be.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36It would probably be players rather than clubs.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I might get caught out there, but I'm happy
0:37:38 > 0:37:41to go for South Coast Football and just chance our arm on that.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- I'll help, yeah.- OK, you're going to go for South Coast Football.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Very, very best of luck.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50We are looking for managers in this question.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We're looking for any post-war manager of...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And for all of these, we will accept caretaker managers as well.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06So, from 1945 through to February, 2015,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09any manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, Plymouth Argyle
0:38:09 > 0:38:11or Southampton. Very best of luck.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:15 > 0:38:17and all you need to win that jackpot,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Are you ready?- Absolutely.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Right, well, Brighton managers I know of
0:38:29 > 0:38:32would be ex-Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia, recently.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34He didn't last very long.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Jimmy Melia who won the FA Cup with them, I think.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I hope I'm right about that.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Plymouth Argyle, I can only really think of Paul Sturrock.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45He's been there a couple of times. And I can probably come up with...
0:38:45 > 0:38:49I know there's Lawrie McMenemy, Graeme Souness...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Um...Les Parry, I think his name was.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58No, he might have been Tranmere. There's some...
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I'm sure I can come up with another Southampton manager,
0:39:00 > 0:39:04but definitely Jimmy Melia, Sami Hyypia...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10And a Southampton manager I'll think of in a minute,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12as soon as I get his name in my head.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Have you got more than two? - I can definitely come up with three.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Ten seconds left.- Definitely. Happy? - Yeah, I'm confidant with you.- OK.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, oh, look at that.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27OK, I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30OK, so, Sami Hyypia and Jimmy Melia are Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Sami Hyypia and...- Jimmy Melia.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35..Jimmy Melia for Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Paul Sturrock for Plymouth Argyle. - Paul Sturrock for Plymouth Argyle.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- do you think?- Probably Sami Hyypia. - Sami Hyypia goes last.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Your least likely to be pointless? - Jimmy Melia.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Jimmy Melia we put first.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53We have got...
0:39:57 > 0:40:01There we are. Now, let's just imagine that one,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04at least one of those, is pointless and you won £1,000,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06what would you do with it? Dave?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09It'll be going to, like, a European road trip.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11The two youngest ones, in particular,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13are constantly moaning at us that they've never left the country.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15They want a European holiday,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18so we think instead of flying them there, let's drive to Italy.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- I would love to. - Let's make it difficult for them.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Big car, drive, I would love that. - Oh, that would be nice.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Sandra, anything else you'd like to do?- That's it.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I would just love to travel with the girls.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- That would be lovely.- I think I can go too.- Lovely.- I'm not sure.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34You're driving, Dave, what are you talking about?!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37OK, your first answer was Jimmy Melia.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40In this case, we were looking for post-war managers
0:40:40 > 0:40:42of Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Let's find out how many people said Jimmy Melia.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It's right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58It's right. Now, all that has to happen is this has to go down to zero
0:40:58 > 0:41:02and you will then leave here with £1,000 in your back pocket.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Down it goes into single figures. Still going down...
0:41:05 > 0:41:07You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Very well done!- Oh, my gosh! - That's brilliant!
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- Absolutely fantastic!- Thank you. - Superb!- Thank you.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18APPLAUSE
0:41:18 > 0:41:21ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Well, that was easy, wasn't it? Back of the net. Congratulations.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Jimmy Melia was a pointless answer,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29which means you are leaving here with £1,000.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- You are travelling to Italy by car. - Yay!- Yes!- There we go.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Very well played indeed. Paul Sturrock would have scored you 2.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- And Sami Hyypia would have scored you 3.- Oh, my goodness!
0:41:42 > 0:41:44So you put them exactly the wrong way round
0:41:44 > 0:41:46which we don't like on this show.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You and I, Dave, we're the same age. It's hard to forget Jimmy Melia.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52He was the Brighton manager when they got through to the Cup Final
0:41:52 > 0:41:54with hair down here and running round the pitch. Terrific answer.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58People would have said all sorts of names at home.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Graeme Souness was a pointless answer, another one you mentioned,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04for Southampton managers. Brighton managers.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Everybody for Brighton, apart from Gus Poyet, Brian Clough,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Chris Hughton, Sami Hyypia, Peter Taylor,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Mark McGhee and Oscar Garcia. Everybody else was pointless.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Well done if you got one of those. Let's look at Plymouth Argyle.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Everyone apart from Ian Holloway, John Sheridan, Peter Shilton,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Paul Sturrock and Tony Pulis. Everyone else was pointless.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31And Southampton managers.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Some big names. Every Southampton manager,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39apart from Ronald Koeman, Harry Redknapp, Lawrie McMenemy,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Mauricio Pochettino, Alan Ball, Dave Jones, Gordon Strachan,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Nigel Adkins, Alan Pardew and Glenn Hoddle.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46They're the only ones who scored anything,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49so any other answer was pointless. Well done if you got those at home
0:42:49 > 0:42:52and congratulations in the studio. Terrific stuff.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55You've been terrific. Absolute pleasure having you on both shows.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Thank you.- Thank you. - Thanks, Richard.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Thanks, again, to our winning players, Dave and Sandra,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Join us next time
0:43:07 > 0:43:11when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE
