APPLAUSE

0:00:140:00:18

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:220:00:24

and Welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game

0:00:240:00:27

is to find the most obscure answer possible.

0:00:270:00:29

Let's meet today's players. APPLAUSE

0:00:290:00:32

Couple number one.

0:00:340:00:36

Hi, My name's Kirsty and this is my colleague Karen.

0:00:360:00:39

We both work for central government and we both come from London.

0:00:390:00:42

-Couple number two.

-I'm Dave. This is my lovely wife, Sandra.

0:00:420:00:45

We're from Liverpool. I'm a capacity planner, Sandra's a housewife.

0:00:450:00:50

-Couple number three.

-Hi, I'm Brian. I'm a software engineer.

0:00:500:00:53

This is my sister-in-law, Pat.

0:00:530:00:54

She's a homemaker and we're both from Northern Ireland.

0:00:540:00:57

-And finally, couple number four.

-Hi, my name's Eamonn.

0:00:570:01:00

I work for the NHS and this is my girlfriend, Riona.

0:01:000:01:03

She's a freelance makeup artist.

0:01:030:01:05

And these are today's contestants.

0:01:050:01:07

APPLAUSE

0:01:070:01:09

Thanks very much all of you.

0:01:090:01:11

We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:110:01:14

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:140:01:17

The factual froth atop our quizzical cappuccino,

0:01:170:01:19

it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:190:01:22

-Hiya. Hi, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:220:01:25

-Afternoon. Oh, afternoon to you.

-And to you.

0:01:250:01:28

We've had some really, really good shows recently, some real crackers.

0:01:280:01:31

There are some familiar faces on today's as well,

0:01:310:01:34

who were on our last show. We've got Dave and Sandra coming back.

0:01:340:01:38

Lovely to see them. Didn't see too much of you last time.

0:01:380:01:40

It would be lovely to see a bit more of you.

0:01:400:01:42

On podium four, we've got Riona and Eamonn.

0:01:420:01:45

Knocked out by Ricky and Stuart

0:01:450:01:46

in a very, very tense second round, didn't they?

0:01:460:01:49

Just a last-minute 1 point answer by Ricky saw you knocked out.

0:01:490:01:52

And then our head-to-headers last time, Pat and Brian.

0:01:520:01:54

-Lovely to have you back as well.

-Thank you.

0:01:540:01:56

Seems a bit unfair that Kirsty and Karen are on podium one

0:01:560:01:59

-when everyone else has played before.

-I know.

-Now, last show...

0:01:590:02:02

-Yes.

-It's a lesson to anyone watching to revise. Revise, revise, revise.

0:02:020:02:06

Ricky and Stuart who are lovely fellows and very bright,

0:02:060:02:09

but on the way down, they'd revised two topics.

0:02:090:02:12

One was Turner Prize winners, one was Booker Prize winners

0:02:120:02:16

and the subject came up, Booker Prize winners.

0:02:160:02:19

-They took home £3,500 thanks to that.

-Brilliant.

-Hmm.

0:02:190:02:24

They did not have a clue what they were talking about,

0:02:240:02:26

but they had learned some names. If you asked them today,

0:02:260:02:29

they wouldn't be able to name you a Booker Prize winner,

0:02:290:02:31

but for that brief golden moment in the sun, they knew it.

0:02:310:02:35

-Very exciting indeed.

-Lucky.

-Yeah, lucky, is what I call it. Thanks.

0:02:350:02:39

Stuart and Ricky won the jackpot last time,

0:02:390:02:41

so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.

0:02:410:02:44

Let's see if we can build that up with some pointless answers

0:02:440:02:47

over the show. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:470:02:50

APPLAUSE

0:02:500:02:53

All I'm going to say to you is that the pair with the highest score

0:02:540:02:57

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:570:03:00

That's all I'm going to say. That's it.

0:03:000:03:02

OK, our first category today is...

0:03:020:03:04

Oh, Karen, it's going to be fine.

0:03:070:03:09

It's going to be absolutely fine. History.

0:03:090:03:12

Can you all decide in your pairs

0:03:120:03:13

who's going first, who's going second.

0:03:130:03:16

Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:03:160:03:18

OK, and the question concerns...

0:03:210:03:24

Bs in History. Richard.

0:03:280:03:30

-Bees In History would be a great topic, wouldn't it?

-Wouldn't it?

0:03:300:03:33

Famous Bees.

0:03:330:03:35

We're simply going to ask you seven questions on each pass,

0:03:350:03:37

seven historical questions. All the answers begin with B.

0:03:370:03:40

There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.

0:03:400:03:43

Thanks very much indeed.

0:03:430:03:45

Let's put our first board of clues up. Seven of them.

0:03:450:03:47

I'll read those once again.

0:04:180:04:19

Karen, a very warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:04:450:04:50

-What do you do?

-I'm a civil servant.

0:04:500:04:52

I work for Government Digital Service,

0:04:520:04:55

so we do online transactions, government online transactions.

0:04:550:04:58

I see. And what do you like doing

0:04:580:05:00

-when you're not doing online government transactions?

-Dancing.

0:05:000:05:04

-Love to dance.

-Love to dance.

-Bit of karaoke.

-Do you do formal dancing?

0:05:040:05:08

-No.

-Do you do dancing where you go and do classes?

0:05:080:05:11

-No, just normal dancing.

-Just normal dancing, but I'm great at it.

0:05:110:05:16

LAUGHTER

0:05:160:05:18

You didn't need to tell me that, Karen.

0:05:180:05:20

How great are you about these Bs from history?

0:05:200:05:23

-They're an eclectic mix, I'd say.

-Uh-huh.

0:05:230:05:28

OK, I'm going to go for the one that is probably the most obvious,

0:05:290:05:32

but it's the one that I know. I'm going to go for Brazil.

0:05:320:05:35

-Brazil for...?

-South American country,

0:05:350:05:38

first won the FIFA World Cup.

0:05:380:05:40

OK, Brazil, 1958. Let's see if that's right.

0:05:400:05:43

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brazil.

0:05:430:05:45

It's right.

0:05:470:05:49

62.

0:05:510:05:52

62. Not bad. A lot better than 100

0:05:520:05:54

and you might have taken an answer that someone else knew off the board,

0:05:540:05:58

so tactically, very shrewd.

0:05:580:06:01

-Scary on that first podium as well.

-It always is.

0:06:010:06:03

That was the first World Cup of Pele as well, 17-year-old Pele.

0:06:030:06:07

Now then, Dave. Welcome back.

0:06:070:06:09

What happened last time, Dave? Talk us through that.

0:06:090:06:11

Well, we got US geography and I think the first answer was OK

0:06:110:06:16

and then the second answer was all right,

0:06:160:06:19

but two decent answers, we just got beaten by better answers.

0:06:190:06:23

Anyway, we'll put that behind us. Dave, tell us what you do.

0:06:230:06:27

-I'm a capacity planner.

-You all know what that is. He plans capacity.

0:06:270:06:32

But when you're not doing that, what excites you?

0:06:320:06:36

I'm a musician in my spare time.

0:06:360:06:38

I'm kind of between bands at the moment

0:06:380:06:40

but I've been in Beatles cover bands in the past.

0:06:400:06:43

Who were you in the Beatles cover band?

0:06:430:06:45

I was, because of the obvious physical similarity,

0:06:450:06:48

-I was Paul McCartney.

-Paul McCartney is exactly what I was about to say.

0:06:480:06:51

-You can tell.

-Obviously, yes. Did you come in on mic though?

0:06:510:06:54

-# Woo. # And things like that.

-I was woo-ing all over the place.

0:06:540:06:57

-Ah, I'd love to see that.

-I need money first.

-OK, fair enough.

0:06:570:07:02

Now, Dave, these Bs from history.

0:07:020:07:05

OK, I have a couple.

0:07:050:07:07

I am going to go for the name that links

0:07:070:07:09

the first Chancellor of Germany and the battleship as Bismarck.

0:07:090:07:14

Bismarck. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bismarck.

0:07:140:07:16

Let's see if it's right.

0:07:160:07:18

It IS right.

0:07:210:07:22

Well, 62 you pass.

0:07:220:07:24

40. We have a new low score.

0:07:240:07:27

APPLAUSE

0:07:270:07:29

-40 for Bismarck.

-Well played, Dave.

0:07:290:07:31

Otto von Bismarck, of course, was the Chancellor.

0:07:310:07:34

The ship did not have a first name.

0:07:340:07:36

LAUGHTER

0:07:360:07:38

-Brian, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Welcome back.

0:07:380:07:41

Great to have you here from County Armagh. But you work in County Down.

0:07:410:07:45

That's correct. Our office is located in Carlingford Lough.

0:07:450:07:47

It's a beautiful spot, so we can see the Cooley Mountains

0:07:470:07:50

and then the foothills of the Mourne Mountains on the other side.

0:07:500:07:53

-Lovely.

-It's a beautiful setting.

0:07:530:07:56

Brian, what do you do when you're not working?

0:07:560:07:58

I used to play a trombone

0:07:580:08:00

but I've given that up just being busy with work and stuff like that.

0:08:000:08:04

Used to play a bit of golf but, again,

0:08:040:08:06

that was knocked on the head for the pressures of work, so...

0:08:060:08:09

-But you have your own company, you see.

-Yeah.

0:08:090:08:12

-Are you good at NOT working?

-No.

-Or do you go home and you're still...?

0:08:120:08:15

You pick up the trombone and think, "Actually, no, I'm going to..."?

0:08:150:08:19

Because I'm a software engineer, it's a PC and I just lift it,

0:08:190:08:23

bring it home with me and then you can plug it straight back in at home

0:08:230:08:26

and continue working.

0:08:260:08:28

How many times do you go down in the middle of the night

0:08:280:08:31

-when you can't sleep?

-No, I don't do that. Very rarely.

0:08:310:08:34

Very rarely, very rarely. OK.

0:08:340:08:35

Now, Brian, what are you going to go for on this board of Bs?

0:08:350:08:38

There's a couple I would make an educated guess at

0:08:380:08:41

and there's a couple I'm fairly certain I know the answer to,

0:08:410:08:44

so I'll go with a banker and go for the bottom one,

0:08:440:08:47

the name of Disraeli and it's Benjamin.

0:08:470:08:50

-OK, Benjamin.

-Yeah.

-Let's see if Benjamin is right

0:08:500:08:53

and let's see any of our 100 people said Benjamin.

0:08:530:08:56

It's right. 62's our high score. No, it's not. 72...

0:08:590:09:02

APPLAUSE ..is now our high score.

0:09:020:09:06

Quite a high score, that one.

0:09:060:09:08

He was supposedly Queen Victoria's favourite prime minister.

0:09:080:09:11

Thank you, Richard. OK, now, Riona.

0:09:110:09:14

-You were put through the mill last time. That was tough.

-Yeah.

0:09:140:09:18

You thought you were through, you thought you were through

0:09:180:09:20

and then Ricky suddenly pulls a score of 1 out at the end of the round.

0:09:200:09:24

-Yeah.

-Now, Riona, remind us what you do.

0:09:240:09:27

I'm a makeup artist and I work in fashion.

0:09:270:09:30

Which means you never get to do comedy makeup

0:09:300:09:32

-where you have to put scars on people...

-No.

-..or black eyes.

0:09:320:09:36

-No, never, it's just making people look nice.

-Yeah.

0:09:360:09:40

What's the weirdest makeup you've had to do?

0:09:400:09:43

I've taped people's faces back with tape.

0:09:430:09:45

They do that to me before each show, actually.

0:09:450:09:47

LAUGHTER

0:09:470:09:49

Riona, this is all your board.

0:09:490:09:50

This is all yours, so why not try and walk us through it, if you can.

0:09:500:09:54

I mean, the first one, a chemical element,

0:09:540:09:57

maybe it was named after his surname, balaroxide.

0:09:570:10:00

-That's not my answer!

-LAUGHTER

0:10:000:10:03

The third one, I'm thinking Buddhism.

0:10:030:10:07

And then second from the bottom,

0:10:070:10:10

I'd guess maybe Budapest.

0:10:100:10:13

-I'm going to go with Buddhism for the third one.

-Buddhism.

0:10:130:10:16

OK, Buddhism, for Siddhartha Gautama.

0:10:160:10:20

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Buddhism.

0:10:200:10:23

It's right. Now, 72's our highest score. You've already passed that.

0:10:250:10:29

40's our low. You passed that.

0:10:290:10:31

35. Well done, Riona. A gutsy call. APPLAUSE

0:10:310:10:35

-Lowest score of the round so far.

-Well done, Riona.

0:10:350:10:38

Never have I seen anybody look as happy as Eamonn was

0:10:380:10:41

that someone said Buddhism instead of Budapest.

0:10:410:10:44

LAUGHTER

0:10:440:10:46

That's what THAT expression said. Not the Hanging Gardens of Budapest.

0:10:460:10:49

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

0:10:490:10:52

79 points for that.

0:10:530:10:55

The chemical element was bromine.

0:10:550:10:59

6 points for that. The painter?

0:10:590:11:01

-Botticelli.

-Botticelli.

0:11:010:11:04

And that scored 26 points.

0:11:040:11:06

Thank you. We're halfway through the round.

0:11:060:11:08

Let's take a look at the scores.

0:11:080:11:10

35, Riona, very well done indeed. Phew, pressure off, you can relax.

0:11:100:11:13

Job well done. We travel up from there to 40,

0:11:130:11:16

where we find Dave and Sandra.

0:11:160:11:18

Up to 62, Karen and Kirsty.

0:11:180:11:20

And then up to 72, Brian and Pat.

0:11:200:11:23

-Pat, we need a low score from you.

-I'll do my best.

0:11:230:11:26

We need a low score. That was quite punishingly high that, wasn't it?

0:11:260:11:30

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:11:300:11:31

Could the second players step up to the podium?

0:11:310:11:33

OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.

0:11:360:11:40

I'll read those all one last time.

0:12:120:12:14

Eamonn, welcome back. Now then, Riona set you up very well there.

0:12:420:12:47

Nice, nice low score of 35.

0:12:470:12:49

Remind us what you do, Eamonn.

0:12:490:12:52

-I work as an office manager for the NHS.

-For the NHS.

0:12:520:12:56

-And before that, a croupier.

-Correct.

-How long did you do as a croupier?

0:12:560:13:00

It was about seven years in total, actually. The seven-year itch.

0:13:000:13:03

-Presumably why I...

-Yeah, you just had to move on.

0:13:030:13:05

Did you enjoy the croupier bit?

0:13:050:13:07

It was fun but the hours weren't particularly conducive

0:13:070:13:11

-to having a healthy and fulfilled life.

-No, that's true.

-Not cricket.

0:13:110:13:15

Your card skills must be second to none.

0:13:150:13:18

-Oh, yeah, make your eyes water.

-I bet it would.

0:13:180:13:22

-Just all the air coming from the flipping cards.

-Yeah.

0:13:220:13:24

I mean flipping cards, you know. LAUGHTER

0:13:240:13:27

Right, Eamonn, there you are. 35.

0:13:270:13:30

If you can score 36 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:13:300:13:35

OK, I think I know four of them, so I'm going to go for the country

0:13:350:13:40

that declared its independence from West Pakistan as Bangladesh.

0:13:400:13:44

Bangladesh, says Eamonn. Here's your red line.

0:13:440:13:46

If you can get below that with Bangladesh, you are into Round Two.

0:13:460:13:49

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bangladesh.

0:13:490:13:52

It's right.

0:13:540:13:56

56 for Bangladesh.

0:13:580:14:00

APPLAUSE 56 takes your total up to 91.

0:14:000:14:03

I think that will probably see you through.

0:14:030:14:06

Yeah, big score but we've seen all sorts of big scores in this round.

0:14:060:14:09

Lots of big scores out there. It's very low-lying, Bangladesh.

0:14:090:14:11

In 1998, when they had the flooding,

0:14:110:14:13

two-thirds of the country was under water.

0:14:130:14:16

Whoa.

0:14:160:14:17

-OK, now, Pat. Pat, good afternoon to you.

-Good afternoon.

0:14:170:14:22

Lovely to have you back. Lovely emerald-coloured top you're wearing.

0:14:220:14:25

-Yes, in keeping with the Irish.

-Indeed. Indeed, indeed.

0:14:250:14:28

Now, Pat, remind us what you do? You're a homemaker.

0:14:280:14:31

Yes, I'm mostly a homemaker

0:14:310:14:32

-but I do a wee bit of singing on the side as well.

-Exactly.

0:14:320:14:36

You also sing in a choir, is that right?

0:14:360:14:39

There are a group of five of us and we do charity concerts

0:14:390:14:41

in our local town and our local county.

0:14:410:14:43

-We do songs from the musicals.

-Do you sing in harmony?

-All the time.

0:14:430:14:49

-I'm an alto, yeah.

-So, a close-harmony group, that's fun.

0:14:490:14:51

Fabulous, yeah.

0:14:510:14:53

Very good indeed. OK, now, you are on 72,

0:14:530:14:56

-so 18 or less is what we require from you.

-Oh, gosh, right.

0:14:560:14:59

Well, I was going to say Bangladesh, but obviously, I can't now.

0:14:590:15:03

So, there are two others that I think I'm... Actually, three others.

0:15:030:15:06

But I think I'll go for the French national holiday

0:15:060:15:09

and go for Bastille Day.

0:15:090:15:11

Bastille, says Pat. Here's your red line.

0:15:110:15:14

Quite low. But if you can get below that, or near that, with Bastille,

0:15:140:15:17

you should be doing pretty well.

0:15:170:15:19

Let's see how many of our 100 said Bastille.

0:15:190:15:21

Ooh, 69.

0:15:250:15:27

Quite a high score there. APPLAUSE

0:15:270:15:30

141 is your total, but the round is not over yet, by any means.

0:15:300:15:34

Yes, commemorating the storming of the Parisian prison.

0:15:340:15:38

Thanks very much indeed.

0:15:380:15:40

Now then, Sandra, welcome back.

0:15:400:15:43

-Remind us what you do, Sandra.

-I stay at home. I'm a housewife.

0:15:430:15:47

-And you have children?

-Three girls.

-Three girls.

-Yeah.

0:15:470:15:51

-Loud, loud, loud.

-LAUGHTER

0:15:510:15:54

-They're going to see this, aren't they?

-What are they called?

0:15:540:15:57

-Abby, Charlotte and Jennifer.

-Excellent.

0:15:570:15:59

Abby, Charlotte and Jennifer.

0:15:590:16:01

And what do you do when you have time to yourself, Sandra?

0:16:030:16:06

I like to sew. I like to make dresses.

0:16:060:16:09

How many of the things you're wearing now

0:16:090:16:11

-are of your own manufacture?

-I didn't trust my...at all.

0:16:110:16:14

You can see it in the nightmares, can't you, just disintegrating?

0:16:140:16:18

I think that sounds wonderful, absolutely fantastic.

0:16:180:16:21

Now, Sandra, you are on 40. You are through to the next round,

0:16:210:16:24

come what may. Even if you scored 100 points,

0:16:240:16:27

you would be in Round Two, which is great news.

0:16:270:16:29

How are you finding our board of Bs? Like beard of bees but...

0:16:290:16:33

I know one for sure, but seeing as... I'll take a risk.

0:16:330:16:36

The first name of Yeltsin,

0:16:360:16:38

-I think it's Boris.

-Boris, says Sandra.

0:16:380:16:41

No red line for you, as you're already through.

0:16:410:16:44

-Were you going to say that, Kirsty?

-I'm so sorry.

-That's all right.

0:16:440:16:47

LAUGHTER

0:16:470:16:48

I can recognise the look of somebody who's just had their answer taken.

0:16:480:16:52

Boris, says Sandra. Let's see if it's right.

0:16:520:16:54

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:16:540:16:56

No red line, as you're already through.

0:16:560:16:59

79. APPLAUSE

0:17:010:17:03

79 takes your total up to 119.

0:17:030:17:06

In fact, saved Kirsty there cos that would have seen her knocked out.

0:17:080:17:11

-Boris Yeltsin, 79 points.

-Now, Kirsty, you've sat waiting

0:17:110:17:15

while all your answers have been taken, all those really good answers.

0:17:150:17:19

-Kirsty, what do you do?

-I also work for central government

0:17:190:17:22

and I'm a digital geek in the Ministry of Justice.

0:17:220:17:26

The Ministry of Justice. So, in Whitehall?

0:17:260:17:29

-No, no, no.

-No.

-Yes, I mean.

0:17:290:17:32

LAUGHTER

0:17:320:17:35

I understand. Not really allowed to say!

0:17:350:17:38

-Yeah, no, no, yes, sort of, yes.

-Yes, if you want.

0:17:380:17:41

-Yeah, if you like, it could be Whitehall.

-Maybe.

0:17:410:17:44

-You could just do it from home, couldn't you?

-I do. Or maybe not...

0:17:440:17:47

And what do you do when you're not doing that, Kirsty?

0:17:470:17:50

Well, I've got a bucket list that I'm currently working through, so...

0:17:500:17:55

-Does it get longer and longer, your list?

-No, I've restricted it to 100.

0:17:550:17:58

That's good. What's the most exciting thing you've done so far?

0:17:580:18:01

-I've dived with great white sharks. That was pretty...

-In South Africa?

0:18:010:18:06

-Yeah, South Africa.

-In a cage?

-Yeah.

0:18:060:18:09

I can't swim either which was quite interesting.

0:18:090:18:11

And sharks CAN, I don't know if you know that.

0:18:110:18:13

LAUGHTER

0:18:130:18:16

-Oh, dear. And anything pressing on your list?

-Pointless.

0:18:160:18:20

-Starring on Pointless as a contestant.

-That is good.

0:18:200:18:23

-This is on your bucket list?

-Yes, it was.

-That's wonderful.

0:18:230:18:26

I will say, though, "starring" was on the bucket list.

0:18:260:18:29

-Briefly.

-The jury's still out.

-LAUGHTER

0:18:290:18:33

-OK, that board's all yours, Kirsty.

-Oh, thanks.

0:18:330:18:36

-You have to score 78 or less. That's fine.

-Yeah.

0:18:360:18:39

78 or less and, as Richard said,

0:18:390:18:40

79 was what Boris scored, so that would have been a costly one.

0:18:400:18:46

So, I'm going to go for the only one I know there which is Bell.

0:18:460:18:51

Alexander... So, which one, I mean? LAUGHTER

0:18:510:18:55

-Sorry. Which...?

-The poet. No, the Scottish-born inventor.

0:18:550:19:00

The Scottish-born inventor. Alexander Graham Bell, you say.

0:19:000:19:04

Well, here's your red line. If you get below that,

0:19:040:19:07

you're through to the next round.

0:19:070:19:08

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bell.

0:19:080:19:11

It's right.

0:19:130:19:15

Ooh, 79!

0:19:150:19:17

79, which means...which means

0:19:170:19:21

you have a total of 141. Pat and Brian have a total of 141.

0:19:210:19:25

-We are in a state of lockdown.

-Lockdown.

-Lockdown!

0:19:250:19:29

-TOGETHER:

-# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Lockdown! #

0:19:290:19:32

THEY BEAT RHYTHM

0:19:320:19:33

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, lockdown. #

0:19:330:19:37

THEY BEAT RHYTHM

0:19:370:19:39

-Where are the monks?

-Hold on. You've caught the monks unawares.

0:19:390:19:41

The monks are in Wetherspoons.

0:19:410:19:43

LAUGHTER

0:19:430:19:45

We are going to get them a taxi to try and race them round here,

0:19:450:19:48

but if not, we'll have to start without the monks.

0:19:480:19:50

OK, we'll start without the monks.

0:19:500:19:52

OK, as it is a tie and we are in a state of lockdown...

0:19:520:19:55

-# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, lockdown. #

-Tch-go-go-tch.

0:19:550:19:59

-Oh, one day we'll have the monks, won't we?

-Mmm.

0:19:590:20:03

Now, OK, so, as it's a tie,

0:20:030:20:05

the tied pairs each have to give one more answer each

0:20:050:20:09

and the pair that has

0:20:090:20:11

the highest score will be leaving us.

0:20:110:20:14

You can confer before you give these answers, which is good.

0:20:140:20:18

So, Kirsty and Karen will go first.

0:20:180:20:21

I think we're going to have to guess.

0:20:210:20:23

So, why don't we guess the poet?

0:20:230:20:25

-Do you know any others?

-No.

-OK, good.

-Good.

0:20:250:20:28

So, let's guess

0:20:280:20:30

and make up Benjamin Britten, that famous Romantic poet.

0:20:300:20:34

Benjamin Britten. OK. I tell you what, he begins with B.

0:20:340:20:38

-Now, Pat and Brian.

-We'll go for the second one,

0:20:380:20:43

the 18th century arch in Berlin,

0:20:430:20:46

-as the Brandenburg Gate.

-The Brandenburg Gate.

0:20:460:20:50

OK, so we have Benjamin Britten and the Brandenburg Gate.

0:20:500:20:53

Let's see if Benjamin Britten's right.

0:20:530:20:55

No! I'm afraid, I'm sorry.

0:20:570:21:00

I'm afraid he's simply not. Scores you 100 points.

0:21:000:21:04

Takes your total up to 241.

0:21:040:21:07

So, Pat and Brian, you have to score 99 or less

0:21:070:21:09

with your answer,

0:21:090:21:11

the Brandenburg Gate. Let's see if that's right

0:21:110:21:14

and let's see how many of our 100 people said Brandenburg Gate.

0:21:140:21:17

-It's right.

-Oh, Brian, well done.

0:21:200:21:23

It's a good answer as well. 32, taking your total up to 173.

0:21:250:21:29

APPLAUSE

0:21:290:21:32

Well played, Pat and Brian.

0:21:320:21:34

The only answer that would have seen you through is that top one.

0:21:340:21:37

-The Edward Heath college. Do you know that one?

-Balliol.

0:21:370:21:40

Balliol, absolutely. 17. And the Romantic poet.

0:21:400:21:43

-It wasn't Benjamin Britten.

-Byron.

-Byron, yep.

0:21:430:21:46

And that would have scored 37 points.

0:21:460:21:49

Thank you very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,

0:21:490:21:51

the pair who are heading home with their high score of 241,

0:21:510:21:54

I'm afraid it's Kirsty and Karen.

0:21:540:21:56

I'm sorry. We went through lockdown together, though, which is nice.

0:21:560:22:00

-Exactly.

-That's kind of starring.

0:22:000:22:01

We beat the 200 Club.

0:22:010:22:03

You beat them easily into a cocked hat, I'd say.

0:22:030:22:06

It's been lovely having you on. See you next time.

0:22:060:22:09

We look forward to that. Kirsty and Karen, great contestants.

0:22:090:22:11

Thanks so much. APPLAUSE

0:22:110:22:14

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:22:150:22:19

APPLAUSE

0:22:190:22:21

And then, just like that...there were three pairs.

0:22:240:22:27

And at the end of this round, we'll have to lose another pair.

0:22:270:22:30

But Dave and Sandra, well done. This is what Round Two looks like.

0:22:300:22:33

Nice to have you here. Riona, well done, you.

0:22:330:22:36

Our lowest individual score of the whole round. Fantastic.

0:22:360:22:39

Well played on the far podium there. And, Pat and Brian, just well done.

0:22:390:22:43

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:22:430:22:47

Acting Pairs. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,

0:22:500:22:53

who's going second. Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:22:530:22:57

OK, and the question concerns...

0:23:000:23:03

Film Co-stars, Richard.

0:23:060:23:08

In a moment, Xander's going to show you six pairs of film stars.

0:23:080:23:11

We're looking for the name of any feature film

0:23:110:23:13

made for cinema release up to April, 2015,

0:23:130:23:15

in which they starred together.

0:23:150:23:17

So, they both have to have a credit on IMDb.

0:23:170:23:19

Any film in which any of these people starred together, please.

0:23:190:23:23

Very best of luck.

0:23:230:23:24

So, we're going to put six pairs up on the board.

0:23:240:23:27

They're going to remain up for the whole round.

0:23:270:23:29

You don't need to say which pair's in which film.

0:23:290:23:31

You just need to give the name of a film

0:23:310:23:33

that one of these pairs has been in.

0:23:330:23:35

Let's reveal our six pairs. We have got...

0:23:350:23:37

I'll read those one last time.

0:23:480:23:50

There we are.

0:23:570:23:58

So, we're looking for any film that stars any of these pairs of actors.

0:23:580:24:03

OK, Sandra.

0:24:030:24:05

Right, I think I know one definitely,

0:24:050:24:08

but I don't want to take a risk,

0:24:080:24:10

so I'll go for, I think it's Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

0:24:100:24:14

Hot fuzz. OK, let's see if it's right

0:24:140:24:16

and let's see how many of our 100 people said Hot Fuzz.

0:24:160:24:18

Not bad, Sandra, well done. 27.

0:24:250:24:27

APPLAUSE 27 for Hot Fuzz.

0:24:270:24:30

2007 comedy thriller with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

0:24:300:24:34

Directed by the brilliant Edgar Wright.

0:24:340:24:36

Brilliant, indeed. Now, Brian.

0:24:360:24:39

Not really my strongest suit,

0:24:390:24:41

-but I'm going to go for Dallas Buyers Club.

-Dallas Buyers Club.

0:24:410:24:47

-Yeah.

-Dallas Buyers Club, says Brian. Let's see if it's right.

0:24:470:24:50

Let's see how many of our 100 said it.

0:24:500:24:52

Ooh.

0:24:550:24:57

Ooh, bad luck, Brian. I'm afraid that's incorrect

0:24:580:25:00

and scores you 100 points.

0:25:000:25:02

Yeah, not starring any of those pairs up there, I'm afraid,

0:25:020:25:06

-Dallas Buyers Club.

-Thank you very much.

0:25:060:25:09

Now, Eamonn, Eamonn,

0:25:090:25:11

how are we feeling about this board of pairs, acting pairs?

0:25:110:25:15

Not great, but I can certainly have a stab in the dark.

0:25:150:25:19

So, I'm going to go for Shaun Of The Dead.

0:25:190:25:22

Shaun Of The Dead, says Eamonn. Let's see if that's right.

0:25:220:25:25

Let's see how many of our 100 said Shaun Of The Dead.

0:25:250:25:27

It's right.

0:25:290:25:31

29. APPLAUSE

0:25:340:25:37

Not bad at all.

0:25:370:25:39

29 for Shaun Of The Dead.

0:25:390:25:41

Yes, a sort of precursor to Hot Fuzz.

0:25:410:25:43

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again

0:25:430:25:44

and Edgar Wright directing again.

0:25:440:25:47

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

0:25:470:25:50

27, the best score of that pass, Sandra. Well done.

0:25:500:25:52

Sandra and Dave looking strong at this point.

0:25:520:25:54

Then up to 29, Eamonn and Riona

0:25:540:25:56

and then Brian and Pat, 100 points there.

0:25:560:26:00

I don't know what to say, except to suggest, perhaps,

0:26:000:26:03

-that on the next pass...

-I get zero.

-Let's have a pointless answer.

0:26:030:26:06

Maybe that'll see you through. We'll come back down the line now.

0:26:060:26:09

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:26:090:26:12

Now then, Riona.

0:26:140:26:16

The Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts,

0:26:170:26:19

I'm thinking it's either a really modern film that I can't think of

0:26:190:26:23

or it's really old because I cannot picture them in a movie together.

0:26:230:26:27

And Jennifer Lawrence, Hunger Games is coming into my head.

0:26:270:26:32

-I'm going to go with Hunger Games.

-OK, The Hunger Games says Riona.

0:26:320:26:35

Let's see if that's right. Here's your red line.

0:26:350:26:38

If you can get below that with The Hunger Games, you are through,

0:26:380:26:41

but it has to be right. Let's see if it is. How many people said it?

0:26:410:26:44

Bad luck.

0:26:470:26:49

I'm afraid another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points,

0:26:490:26:52

takes your total up to 129.

0:26:520:26:53

Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence in that,

0:26:530:26:55

-but no Bradley Cooper in The Hunger Games.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

0:26:550:26:59

-Now then, Pat. You have a target.

-Yeah.

0:26:590:27:02

-28 or less.

-Right. There are a few,

0:27:020:27:05

it's just trying to work out which is going to have the lowest score.

0:27:050:27:09

But I'm going to take a chance,

0:27:090:27:11

cos I think we need to, and say The Odd Couple.

0:27:110:27:15

The Odd Couple, says Pat. The Odd Couple. Here's your red line.

0:27:150:27:20

Get below that, you're in the head-to-head again.

0:27:210:27:24

Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Odd Couple.

0:27:240:27:27

It's right.

0:27:290:27:31

You've done it!

0:27:340:27:35

25! APPLAUSE

0:27:350:27:37

125 is your total.

0:27:390:27:41

Wonderful film from 1968 with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

0:27:410:27:45

-That's a film worth watching, isn't it?

-Yeah! Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:450:27:50

Now then, Dave, I have good news for you.

0:27:500:27:53

You are through to the head-to-head. Talk us through your thoughts.

0:27:530:27:57

The Odd Couple was my banker.

0:27:570:27:59

I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to say The Odd Couple, no problem,

0:27:590:28:02

"that's all I've got." But, whilst thinking about that,

0:28:020:28:05

another one popped into my head and that's Paul.

0:28:050:28:08

Paul, says Dave. No red line, as you're already through,

0:28:080:28:11

but let's see how many of our 100 people said Paul.

0:28:110:28:13

It's right.

0:28:160:28:18

16.

0:28:220:28:24

APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 43.

0:28:240:28:27

Lovely low total there, Dave and Sandra.

0:28:270:28:29

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again in Paul. Well played.

0:28:290:28:32

Lots of pointless answers here. Let's take a look at a few of them.

0:28:320:28:35

Buddy Buddy - that's Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

0:28:370:28:39

Marvin's Room - that's De Niro and Streep.

0:28:390:28:41

Out To Sea - Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as well.

0:28:410:28:44

The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn

0:28:440:28:46

and The Boxtrolls - both Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

0:28:460:28:48

The Front Page is Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

0:28:480:28:51

Othello - that's Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith.

0:28:520:28:55

The Grass Harp - that's Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon

0:28:550:28:58

and The Last September - also Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith.

0:28:580:29:01

Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,

0:29:010:29:04

I'm sorry to say the pair with a high score of 129

0:29:040:29:08

who are going to be leaving, it's Riona and Eamonn.

0:29:080:29:11

I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye to you.

0:29:110:29:13

You've been fantastic contestants.

0:29:130:29:15

I'm sorry we floored you with this one, but thank you for playing.

0:29:150:29:17

Riona and Eamonn, great contestants. APPLAUSE

0:29:170:29:21

For the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.

0:29:240:29:26

APPLAUSE

0:29:260:29:28

Congratulations, Dave and Sandra, Pat and Brian.

0:29:320:29:34

You're now one step closer to the final

0:29:340:29:36

and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.

0:29:360:29:42

Well, you know the drill.

0:29:420:29:44

First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:29:440:29:48

You can now confer before you give your answers.

0:29:480:29:50

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:29:500:29:53

APPLAUSE

0:29:530:29:56

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:29:590:30:03

Starchy Fruit And Veg, Richard.

0:30:070:30:10

We're going to show you five pictures of starchy fruit and veg.

0:30:100:30:13

We've also given you the initial of the starchy fruit or veg.

0:30:130:30:16

Can you tell us what they are, please?

0:30:160:30:18

So, let's reveal our five starchy fruit and veg.

0:30:180:30:21

Here they come. We've got...

0:30:210:30:22

There we go. Five starchy fruits and veggies.

0:30:410:30:45

Well, I mean, Dave and Sandra, how things have changed.

0:30:450:30:48

Last show, you were out first round.

0:30:480:30:50

Here you are, our lowest-scoring pair. Absolutely fantastic.

0:30:500:30:55

Anyway, you've been our lowest-scoring pair,

0:30:550:30:57

so you will be going first. Feel free to confer.

0:30:570:31:00

INAUDIBLE WHISPERING

0:31:000:31:03

Right, we'd like to go for D, water chestnut.

0:31:050:31:09

Water chestnut, say Dave and Sandra. Water chestnut.

0:31:090:31:14

Now then, Pat and Brian. You were our golden pair last time.

0:31:140:31:18

What are you going to go for?

0:31:180:31:20

The obvious correct answer is E which is parsnip.

0:31:200:31:23

-C, it doesn't look like the shape...

-No.

-The shape of what?

-The coconut.

0:31:230:31:29

But the letters.

0:31:290:31:31

A and B, I don't know, Brian,

0:31:310:31:33

-so I think we'll play safe and say parsnip?

-Yeah.

-E, parsnip.

-Yeah.

0:31:330:31:38

OK, so we have water chestnut, we have parsnip.

0:31:380:31:40

Dave and Sandra said water chestnut for D.

0:31:400:31:42

Let's see how many of our 100 people said water chestnut.

0:31:420:31:46

It's right.

0:31:480:31:50

It's a good answer. 29 for water chestnut.

0:31:530:31:56

APPLAUSE

0:31:560:31:58

Meanwhile, Pat and Brian have said E is parsnip. E, parsnip.

0:31:590:32:04

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:32:040:32:07

It's right. Ooh. I barely had time to say it was right.

0:32:090:32:13

94. I think that's fairly conclusive. Dave and Sandra, well done.

0:32:130:32:16

After one question, you are up 1-0.

0:32:160:32:18

Let's go backwards. We'll start with C.

0:32:180:32:21

-Do you know that one?

-I don't know what that is.

0:32:210:32:23

It's where we get tapioca starch from. It's the cassava.

0:32:230:32:26

-Oh, thanks, cassava.

-That would have scored you 5 points.

0:32:260:32:30

-B?

-Plantain.

-Plantain. Very closely related to the banana.

0:32:300:32:33

That would have scored you 47 points.

0:32:330:32:35

And A is the best answer on the board. Do you know A at all?

0:32:350:32:39

-It's a squash, I think.

-It is a type of squash.

0:32:390:32:42

-It's an acorn squash.

-Oh, right.

-It would have scored you 2 points.

0:32:420:32:46

Well done to the two people in our 100 who got that and anyone at home.

0:32:460:32:49

Thanks. Here comes your second question.

0:32:490:32:51

Pat and Brian, you get to answer it first,

0:32:510:32:53

but you have to win it to stay in the game.

0:32:530:32:55

Best of luck. It concerns...

0:32:550:32:57

Countries Made From Chemical Symbols.

0:33:010:33:03

You need to know your chemical symbols for this one.

0:33:030:33:05

We're going to give you five lists of elements

0:33:050:33:07

and if you put their chemical symbols together,

0:33:070:33:09

they spell out the names of countries.

0:33:090:33:12

What fun. Let's reveal our chemical elements and here they come.

0:33:120:33:15

I'll read those again.

0:33:310:33:33

-Phew. Pat and Brian, you will go first.

-OK.

0:33:440:33:48

INAUDIBLE WHISPERING

0:33:480:33:51

-What do you think?

-Yeah, we're struggling a bit with these.

0:33:540:33:57

-No, I think we'll go for Copper Barium.

-Yeah, OK.

0:33:590:34:01

We'll go for Copper Barium and say Cuba.

0:34:010:34:04

OK, Cuba, say Pat and Brian. Cuba.

0:34:040:34:07

Now then, Dave and Sandra,

0:34:070:34:09

do you fancy talking us through the rest of them?

0:34:090:34:13

I think the top one is Argentina.

0:34:130:34:16

Then I think it's Poland, then Iceland

0:34:160:34:20

and then Singapore.

0:34:200:34:22

So, I would probably go for...Singapore.

0:34:220:34:26

-Are you happy?

-Yeah.

-Singapore.

-Go for Singapore at the bottom.

0:34:260:34:29

So we have Cuba, we have Singapore.

0:34:290:34:31

Now, Pat and Brian said Cuba. Let's see if that's right.

0:34:310:34:33

Let's see how many people said it.

0:34:330:34:35

It is right.

0:34:380:34:39

33.

0:34:430:34:44

APPLAUSE

0:34:440:34:48

Meanwhile, Dave and Sandra have gone for Singapore at the bottom there.

0:34:480:34:51

Let's see if that's right

0:34:510:34:53

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Singapore.

0:34:530:34:56

It is right.

0:34:580:35:00

And if this goes below 33, which it does,

0:35:010:35:03

you are through to the next round. Well done. 13 for Singapore.

0:35:030:35:06

APPLAUSE Very well done.

0:35:060:35:09

Dave and Sandra, after only two questions, you are straight through.

0:35:090:35:12

-2-0.

-Terrific play. Took us through the board beautifully as well.

0:35:120:35:15

I can actually hear a nation of living rooms,

0:35:150:35:17

where one person's explaining what this question is to somebody else.

0:35:170:35:20

If you don't understand it, don't worry. It needn't detain you.

0:35:200:35:24

-But it's fun, isn't it? It's a fun question.

-It is great fun.

0:35:240:35:27

And you're absolutely right about all the other ones.

0:35:270:35:29

You got Ar-Ge-N-Ti-Na, Argentina, at the top there.

0:35:290:35:34

Singapore was actually the best answer.

0:35:450:35:48

You knew all of them and you chose the best one. Well played.

0:35:480:35:50

Thanks very much. So, the pair leaving us

0:35:500:35:52

at the end of the head-to-head round...

0:35:520:35:54

They've done so well, twice into the head-to-head round.

0:35:540:35:57

I mean, really, a very, very strong performance across both shows,

0:35:570:36:00

but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.

0:36:000:36:02

It's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks for playing.

0:36:020:36:05

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:36:050:36:09

For Dave and Sandra, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:090:36:11

APPLAUSE

0:36:110:36:14

Well, congratulations, Dave and Sandra.

0:36:150:36:18

You fought off all the competition

0:36:180:36:19

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:190:36:22

-Thank you so much.

-You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:36:280:36:31

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot,

0:36:310:36:34

there it is, stands at £1,000.

0:36:340:36:36

Well, I don't know what happened.

0:36:360:36:37

You've taken yourselves off after the last show

0:36:370:36:39

and given yourselves a stern talking-to

0:36:390:36:42

or maybe done some revision. Been incredible, the turnaround.

0:36:420:36:45

Yeah, lots of revision really, wasn't it?

0:36:450:36:47

-Lots of practice and harsh words.

-A splash of cold water on the face.

0:36:470:36:52

LAUGHTER Exactly, exactly.

0:36:520:36:55

Anything you'd particularly love to see in this last round

0:36:550:36:58

that'll help you take that jackpot home?

0:36:580:37:00

I'm a big fan of the Beatles, there's Terry Pratchett,

0:37:000:37:04

literature and stuff that I really like.

0:37:040:37:06

Anything like that I think I'd really enjoy.

0:37:060:37:09

OK, well, very best of luck.

0:37:090:37:10

Let's hope there's something on the board you like the look of.

0:37:100:37:13

As you know, you choose your category from four options we give.

0:37:130:37:16

Let's see what today's selection looks like.

0:37:160:37:19

-What's your strongest?

-Well, football's a big thing for me.

0:37:280:37:32

I just can't think what South Coast Football would be.

0:37:320:37:34

It would probably be players rather than clubs.

0:37:340:37:36

I might get caught out there, but I'm happy

0:37:360:37:38

to go for South Coast Football and just chance our arm on that.

0:37:380:37:41

-I'll help, yeah.

-OK, you're going to go for South Coast Football.

0:37:410:37:45

Very, very best of luck.

0:37:450:37:47

We are looking for managers in this question.

0:37:470:37:50

We're looking for any post-war manager of...

0:37:500:37:53

And for all of these, we will accept caretaker managers as well.

0:38:000:38:03

So, from 1945 through to February, 2015,

0:38:030:38:06

any manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, Plymouth Argyle

0:38:060:38:09

or Southampton. Very best of luck.

0:38:090:38:11

As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:38:110:38:15

and all you need to win that jackpot,

0:38:150:38:17

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:38:170:38:19

-Are you ready?

-Absolutely.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:38:190:38:23

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:38:230:38:26

Right, well, Brighton managers I know of

0:38:260:38:29

would be ex-Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia, recently.

0:38:290:38:32

He didn't last very long.

0:38:320:38:34

Jimmy Melia who won the FA Cup with them, I think.

0:38:340:38:37

I hope I'm right about that.

0:38:370:38:39

Plymouth Argyle, I can only really think of Paul Sturrock.

0:38:390:38:42

He's been there a couple of times. And I can probably come up with...

0:38:420:38:45

I know there's Lawrie McMenemy, Graeme Souness...

0:38:450:38:49

Um...Les Parry, I think his name was.

0:38:500:38:54

No, he might have been Tranmere. There's some...

0:38:540:38:58

I'm sure I can come up with another Southampton manager,

0:38:580:39:00

but definitely Jimmy Melia, Sami Hyypia...

0:39:000:39:04

And a Southampton manager I'll think of in a minute,

0:39:070:39:10

as soon as I get his name in my head.

0:39:100:39:12

-Have you got more than two?

-I can definitely come up with three.

0:39:130:39:16

-Ten seconds left.

-Definitely. Happy?

-Yeah, I'm confidant with you.

-OK.

0:39:160:39:20

OK, oh, look at that.

0:39:200:39:23

OK, I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?

0:39:230:39:27

OK, so, Sami Hyypia and Jimmy Melia are Brighton & Hove Albion.

0:39:270:39:30

-Sami Hyypia and...

-Jimmy Melia.

0:39:300:39:32

..Jimmy Melia for Brighton & Hove Albion.

0:39:320:39:35

-Paul Sturrock for Plymouth Argyle.

-Paul Sturrock for Plymouth Argyle.

0:39:350:39:38

Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,

0:39:380:39:41

-do you think?

-Probably Sami Hyypia.

-Sami Hyypia goes last.

0:39:410:39:44

-Your least likely to be pointless?

-Jimmy Melia.

0:39:440:39:46

Jimmy Melia we put first.

0:39:460:39:48

OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.

0:39:480:39:51

We have got...

0:39:510:39:53

There we are. Now, let's just imagine that one,

0:39:570:40:01

at least one of those, is pointless and you won £1,000,

0:40:010:40:04

what would you do with it? Dave?

0:40:040:40:06

It'll be going to, like, a European road trip.

0:40:060:40:09

The two youngest ones, in particular,

0:40:090:40:11

are constantly moaning at us that they've never left the country.

0:40:110:40:13

They want a European holiday,

0:40:130:40:15

so we think instead of flying them there, let's drive to Italy.

0:40:150:40:18

-I would love to.

-Let's make it difficult for them.

0:40:180:40:20

-Big car, drive, I would love that.

-Oh, that would be nice.

0:40:200:40:23

-Sandra, anything else you'd like to do?

-That's it.

0:40:230:40:26

I would just love to travel with the girls.

0:40:260:40:28

-That would be lovely.

-I think I can go too.

-Lovely.

-I'm not sure.

0:40:280:40:32

You're driving, Dave, what are you talking about?!

0:40:320:40:34

OK, your first answer was Jimmy Melia.

0:40:340:40:37

In this case, we were looking for post-war managers

0:40:370:40:40

of Brighton & Hove Albion.

0:40:400:40:42

This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.

0:40:420:40:46

Let's find out how many people said Jimmy Melia.

0:40:460:40:50

It's right.

0:40:530:40:55

It's right. Now, all that has to happen is this has to go down to zero

0:40:550:40:58

and you will then leave here with £1,000 in your back pocket.

0:40:580:41:02

Down it goes into single figures. Still going down...

0:41:020:41:05

You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:050:41:07

-Very well done!

-Oh, my gosh!

-That's brilliant!

0:41:070:41:11

-Absolutely fantastic!

-Thank you.

-Superb!

-Thank you.

0:41:110:41:15

APPLAUSE

0:41:150:41:18

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:41:180:41:21

Well, that was easy, wasn't it? Back of the net. Congratulations.

0:41:210:41:25

Jimmy Melia was a pointless answer,

0:41:250:41:26

which means you are leaving here with £1,000.

0:41:260:41:29

-You are travelling to Italy by car.

-Yay!

-Yes!

-There we go.

0:41:290:41:32

APPLAUSE

0:41:320:41:36

Very well played indeed. Paul Sturrock would have scored you 2.

0:41:360:41:39

-And Sami Hyypia would have scored you 3.

-Oh, my goodness!

0:41:390:41:42

So you put them exactly the wrong way round

0:41:420:41:44

which we don't like on this show.

0:41:440:41:46

You and I, Dave, we're the same age. It's hard to forget Jimmy Melia.

0:41:460:41:49

He was the Brighton manager when they got through to the Cup Final

0:41:490:41:52

with hair down here and running round the pitch. Terrific answer.

0:41:520:41:54

Let's look at the pointless answers.

0:41:540:41:56

People would have said all sorts of names at home.

0:41:560:41:58

Graeme Souness was a pointless answer, another one you mentioned,

0:41:580:42:01

for Southampton managers. Brighton managers.

0:42:010:42:04

Everybody for Brighton, apart from Gus Poyet, Brian Clough,

0:42:060:42:09

Chris Hughton, Sami Hyypia, Peter Taylor,

0:42:090:42:11

Mark McGhee and Oscar Garcia. Everybody else was pointless.

0:42:110:42:14

Well done if you got one of those. Let's look at Plymouth Argyle.

0:42:140:42:18

Everyone apart from Ian Holloway, John Sheridan, Peter Shilton,

0:42:230:42:26

Paul Sturrock and Tony Pulis. Everyone else was pointless.

0:42:260:42:29

And Southampton managers.

0:42:290:42:31

Some big names. Every Southampton manager,

0:42:340:42:36

apart from Ronald Koeman, Harry Redknapp, Lawrie McMenemy,
