0:00:15 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26A very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the game where you're always striving to find the lowest score.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And, couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Carol.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm a retired account supervisor and I live in Kettering,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Northamptonshire, and this is my friend of 38 years, Gloria.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48She's also retired and lives in Lincolnshire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Jack and this is my friend Mike.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53He's an IT accounts manager in Manchester and I work
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- in commercial banking in London. - Couple number three.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Ben. This is my dad, Ray. He is a mobile library driver.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm a communications manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Both from Birmingham, but I live in London.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- And, finally, couple number four. - Hi, my name is Rosalie.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm a retired primary school teacher and this is my husband, Wilf,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15who's a retired sales supervisor and we live in Prescott on Merseyside.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17And these are today's contestants.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28They say the brain is the biggest erogenous zone.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Here to disprove that thoroughly, it's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hiya. Afternoon, everybody.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36APPLAUSE
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Good afternoon.- And to you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Have you recovered from that last show?- No.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It was unbelievable! Carol and Gloria, have you recovered?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- No.- No, not really.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Rosalie and Wilf, are you well slept after that last show?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Er, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Goodness me! Round Two was where the action took place.- Yeah!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We had three teams, between them scored 914 points.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59LAUGHTER
0:01:59 > 0:02:01100, 100, 100,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03100, 100, 100.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We went to lockdown...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08100, 100, 100...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I had to get a new question.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I have an emergency question we keep under glass.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've only used it once before and that's when Cannon and Ball were on.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16A new question...
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Then, fortunately, as Carol and Gloria
0:02:19 > 0:02:22got through to the head-to-head with 306 points.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That's got to be a new record.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Poor old Rosalie! Well, 307 points.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- You only lost out by one. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Now, David and Mark didn't win the jackpot last time, so today's
0:02:33 > 0:02:38jackpot we add another £1,000 to, and it starts off at £2,000.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39There we are!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43APPLAUSE
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Right! If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:52 > 0:02:55at the end of each round will be eliminated and, of course,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58there is to be no conferring until we get to the head-to-head round.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Our first category today...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03is...
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going
0:03:06 > 0:03:10to go second? And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20HE GIGGLES
0:03:20 > 0:03:21There we are. OK, Richard.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We'll show you seven clues and the answers to each one of those clues
0:03:24 > 0:03:27begins with either Mister, Mrs or Miss.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30You just need to tell us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Seven on each board,
0:03:31 > 0:03:3314 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36OK, thank you. Let's reveal our first board of Misters, Mrs and Misses.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Here they are. We've got...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'll read those one last time.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Gloria, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Remind us what you do, Gloria. - I'm retired.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42You're retired, but what do you like getting up to?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Amateur dramatics, singing, erm...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- And I'm also a lady who lunches.- Oh!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Have you got nice places to go and lunch?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Yes, lovely. - And is there a good gang of you?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- There's various gangs. - Various different gangs.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yes, I just go in on each one.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Have you ever lunched with one gang and found the other gang is in the same place?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01That would be embarrassing!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- No, thank goodness!- Imagine! Gang warfare, can you imagine that?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06LAUGHTER
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh! That would just be terrifying. Terrifying!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now, Gloria, Misters, Mrs and Misses...
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I know three, all of which I think will be very popular.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I think I'll go for the second one,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Simon and Garfunkel's song. It's Mrs Robinson.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Mrs Robinson, says Gloria. Let's see if it's right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Let's see how many of our 100 said Mrs Robinson.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28It's right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3253.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34APPLAUSE
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I think that's all right. A good start to the round.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Fabulous song. Won Grammy award for Record of the Year in 1968.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42A lovely cover version by the Lemonheads.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Mm.- Mm.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Thank you, Richard.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Jack, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You were at university with Mike?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Yeah, both in Leeds.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- And you're now learning to be a banker?- Yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- But a commercial banker?- Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- And in London?- Yup. - You've come down to the big smoke.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01What do you like getting up to when you're not working in the bank?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Erm, probably just enjoying my sports,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06watching, playing when I can, but more watching now.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And which sports are these?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Quite across-the-board really.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So, football, cricket, golf,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15a bit of snooker as well, darts.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Some pub-based sports as well, aren't there?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Yeah, what we studied at uni was...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Pub-based sports. Yes, there we are!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25OK, now, Jack, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well, I knew the answer just given and I know two others
0:06:27 > 0:06:32that are quite obvious, but I think the children's television series is
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Mr Benn.- Mr Benn, says Jack.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mr Benn.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It's absolutely right. 53 is our only score at this juncture.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44You pass it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:4532.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:47 > 0:06:48We have a high and a low.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- That was a staple of our childhoods, wasn't it, Mr Benn?- Mm.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Don't you think Mike and Jack look a bit like brothers?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- They do a bit.- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah, yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Are you absolutely certain you're not?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Not hand on heart, to be honest.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06LAUGHTER
0:07:06 > 0:07:08There we are. Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Ray, a warm welcome to you. You drive a mobile library.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I drive it and I'm a library assistant.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So then, you run it as well? Do you have anyone else there with you?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19A couple of women.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Do they sit in the passenger seat or rattle around with the books?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Watching the books fall off the shelves...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So, who do you take the library to?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30We go mainly round inner-city areas where
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- they haven't got a static library close to hand.- OK, good stuff.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And, Ray, what about these Misters and Misses?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39I should really go for the book ones,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but I haven't got the foggiest.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42That's disgraceful!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Right, I'll go... Middle-of-the-road, the musical.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Miss Saigon.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Miss Saigon, says Ray. Miss Saigon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Miss Saigon.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's right. 53 is our high.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59You pass it. 49.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02APPLAUSE
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- 49 for Miss Saigon. - Well played, Ray.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Based, of course, on Madame Butterfly. I've never seen it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Have you seen it?- Never have. - Seen it?- Yep.- There we go.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15You know what? They might not put that on the poster.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'Good? "Yep." - Rosalie.'
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Thanks very much indeed. Wilf, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Oh! A veteran of our Round Two last time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Remind us what you get up to, Wilf, up in Prescott.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35I play badminton and go jogging with a couple of friends that have
0:08:35 > 0:08:36been dogging me for years.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, when you play badminton, do you play in someone's garden
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and put up a net or do you go to an official badminton court?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- No, I play for a club. - Right, I see.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47That's very official. You all get dressed in proper badminton things?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Well, yeah, we've got pumps.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51LAUGHTER
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Like I say, proper badminton things.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Wilf, you're the last person to have this board.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Why don't you talk us through it
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and fill in as many of those blanks as you can?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05I'm stuck between Miss Piggy and Mr Bean.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06It isn't the best place to be!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09LAUGHTER
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And those are the only ones I know.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Mr Bean.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15You're going to go for Mr Bean. Rowan Atkinson, Mr Bean.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19OK. Well, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mr Bean.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2571.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27APPLAUSE
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Bad luck. Pretty slim pickings on that board, I'm afraid.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Great news for Gloria and Carol here at this end.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34But, yes, 71 for Mr Bean.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Well, you've picked the right one of the two you knew, Wilf.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Because Miss Piggy is a much bigger scorer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Miss Piggy would have scored you 87 points.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The timid spinster, the Cranford spinster is...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I don't know that one. - Miss Matty Jenkyns.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50That would have scored 1 point.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's the best answer on the board, actually.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- You'll know Elizabeth and Lydia's mother.- Mrs Bennet. - Mrs Bennet, of course.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- And that would have scored 16. - Thanks very much.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We are halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0332, the best score of the pass. Jack.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And then up to 49, where we find Ray and Ben.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Up to 53, Gloria and Carol.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And then over there on the far podium, it's Wilf and Rosalie on 71.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13So, Rosalie, you get first dibs on the next board.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15So, make sure you find a nice low score.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17We hope that keeps you in the game.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21We are going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27OK, let's put seven more Misters, Mrs and Misses on the board.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28And here they are...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'll read those all one final time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Now, Rosalie, I think that looks rather a nice spread
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- of Misters, Mrs and Misses.- Indeed. - This is good.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Now, Rosalie, you were a primary school teacher.- I was.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- How long ago did you retire? - I retired at 49.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Right, did you skip out of the staffroom or was it
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- a reluctant parting? - Erm, a bit of both.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38What fills your time now?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- I play badminton.- Very good. With Wilf or...often not?- Occasionally.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- But at the same club?- Erm, yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And very often not on the same side of the net because, well,
0:11:48 > 0:11:54it might get a bit heated! So, yes, I do play badminton. Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Very good. Now, listen, you're on 71, you're the high scorers.- OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- What we require from you, Rosalie, is a low score.- OK.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I'll go with the third one down,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Sandra Bullock's film as an FBI agent. Miss Congeniality.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Miss Congeniality, says Rosalie.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11No red line, obviously, as you are the high scorers.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14But let's see how many of our 100 said Miss Congeniality.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE 41, not bad.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Not bad. 112 is your total.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Yes, followed up by Miss Congeniality 2: Armed And Fabulous.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And one of your favourite films.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Oh! one of my, of course, Miss Congeniality!- Fab-u-lous!- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Thank you, Richard. Ben.- Hello. - Ben, hello and welcome.- Thank you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Now, what do you do, Ben?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Erm, I'm just about to start as a communications manager at the Big Lottery Fund.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Who do you communicate with, I wonder?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52It's all the different community groups that kind of help people
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and do a lot of good work.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Do people apply to you or do you then follow up on...?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Yeah, people apply, groups can apply for funding
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- if they want to do something in their community.- That's quite nice.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Now, Ben, you're on 49.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- If you can score 62 or less, you're into the next round.- Yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Erm, OK, so, I'm going to go with...
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I'm a bit of a fan of cheesy '80s songs. Late '80s.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22So, I'm going to go with the group who had a hit with Broken Wings
0:13:22 > 0:13:23and Mr Mister.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Mr Mister, says Ben. Mr Mister. Here's your red line.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Get below that with Mr Mister and you are into Round Two.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Let's see how many people said Mr Mister.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38You are through.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42APPLAUSE 21!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Taking your total up to a lovely round 70.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Almost one of those classic one-hit wonders, Mr Mister,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but they're actually a classic two-hit wonder.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Because they also did that song, Kyrie.- Oh, yes! So they did.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- So, they had two massive hits. - There we are. Thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- OK, now, Mike.- Hi there.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Ah, Mike, welcome, welcome.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Well, your brother
0:14:01 > 0:14:04set you up very well on 32.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05It's just a walk in the park for you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:0779 is all you have to get, but before you do that,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10tell us what you do now you've graduated from Leeds.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'm an account manager for an IT firm.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Aside from that, what do you get up to, Mike?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19A bit like Jack really, anything that involves watching sport in
0:14:19 > 0:14:22a pub normally goes down quite well.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Try to be active. Normally, not.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29If you had to be active, Mike, with about five minutes' notice,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- what's the activity you would plump for?- Probably football.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Decent-ish at football. Everything else, I'd say below par.- OK.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39What are you going to go for on this board?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42As I say, 79. I mean, that should be, that should be easy.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I actually only know two on there.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Just trying to work out which will be the lowest.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'm going to go for everyone's favourite
0:14:51 > 0:14:53pink and yellow character, Mr Blobby.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Someone had to mention it, didn't they? OK, Mr Blobby.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59There's your red line. If you can get below that,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01you are through to the next round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mr Blobby.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Well done. Oh!
0:15:09 > 0:15:1176. By the skin of your teeth!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13APPLAUSE
0:15:13 > 0:15:15108 is your total.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18He, fortunately, was a one-hit wonder, Mr Blobby.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I think he did have a follow-up single,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- but it didn't really trouble the scorers.- No.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Mr Blobby to Noel Edmonds is a bit like you are with Ben Miller.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30LAUGHTER
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I don't mean that at all.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- I don't mean that at all, I just couldn't resist it.- There we go.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Yeah, thank you. I'm not going to pry too much further into that.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Now, Carol, this, I think, will go very well.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Please can this go well?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49But before we do that, remind me where you're from, Carol.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- From Kettering in Northamptonshire. - Carol from Kettering, of course.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What do you get up to in Kettering, Carol?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I like gardening, reading, films, theatre
0:15:59 > 0:16:05and I'm also the secretary of a charity group who entertain
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- the blind and partially-sighted people in the area.- Very good.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- What are they called? - It's called Torch.- Torch. Very good.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15What sort of gardener are you? Are you a kitchen gardener?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Do you grow vegetables for the table? - Oh, no, no, no.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- Just purely flowers and a lot of them in pots.- Very good.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Not so much weeding. - Not so much weeding.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- And you can bring them indoors, exactly.- Yes.- When it gets cold.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- OK, now, Carol, there is your board. - It's which one to go for, really.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I think I'll go for the second one, Mr T.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Mr T, says Carol. Mr T.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40There is your red line. Get below that with Mr T
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and you are into the next round.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Let's see how many of our 100 said Mr T.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's right.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You've... Oh!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- 59.- Oh.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Oh, this is exciting. This is very exciting indeed!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That means you have scored... Your total is 112.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Oh, and Rosalie and Wilf have 112 too.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Our two returning pairs have brought...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08LAUGHTER
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Have brought the ghost of lockdown back!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I cannot believe it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19OK. Right. Well, so we are in a state of lockdown. It is a tie.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Carol and Gloria, and Wilf and Rosalie,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23you can now confer
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and I want you each to give me your best answer.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Carol and Gloria, let's have an answer from you
0:17:28 > 0:17:31from the rest of the board.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Mrs Brown. - You're going to go for Mrs Brown.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- The bottom one.- For the bottom one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Mrs Brown for the bottom one, say Carol and Gloria.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Now then, Rosalie and Wilf.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Mr Selfridge.- Mr Selfridge.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- From which one?- Top one.- The top one, so the bookends, there.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Mrs Brown, Mr Selfridge. In the order they were given...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- This had better not be a draw again. - LAUGHTER
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Carol and Gloria have gone for Mrs Brown.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mrs Brown.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:0859. APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:1359 takes your total up to 171.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Now then, Rosalie and Wilf have gone for Mr Selfridge.
0:18:16 > 0:18:1959 is what you have to beat. Let's see how many
0:18:19 > 0:18:21of our 100 said Mr Selfridge. Please can it not be 59?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24LAUGHTER
0:18:24 > 0:18:25It's right.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28You've done it!
0:18:28 > 0:18:3141 for Mr Selfridge. APPLAUSE
0:18:31 > 0:18:3541, taking your total up to 153.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Oh, well done. Yeah, Rosalie and Wilf, last time you lost
0:18:37 > 0:18:40in lockdown to Carol and Gloria. This time the tables are turned.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Unlucky. Now, the other answer on the board would've won the round
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- for either of you. Do you know the last one?- Miss Honey.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Miss Honey from Matilda, yeah. It would've scored you 12 points.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, we are at the end of our first round
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and the pair leaving us, I'm so sorry, Carol and Gloria.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You've been such stalwarts. You played so well
0:18:57 > 0:19:01throughout last time and, I mean, to go through lockdown again,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03is just adding insult to injury, I'm afraid, but, sorry,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05we've got to say goodbye to you now.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But, Carol and Gloria, wonderful contestants. Thank you so much.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:19:11 > 0:19:14But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23And so, in the way of Pointless, we are now down to three pairs
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and at the end of this round, we will have to be down to two pairs.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Artists. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40please, step up to the podium.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:54 > 0:19:55..as they could.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Artists in the National Gallery's list of 30 highlight paintings.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00There we are. Richard.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yeah, the National Gallery, on its website and elsewhere,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06publishes its list of 30 must-see works in their collection.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08We're looking for the name of any artist who has a work
0:20:08 > 0:20:11on that list, please. Give you an idea of timescale,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14there's nothing on that list after 1905, everything is before then.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18So any artist with a work on that list, please. Very best of luck.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Thanks very much and there are 30 of them.- There are 30.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- There are 30 of them. Now then, Jack.- Yes.- Jack.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Probably one of the worst topics we could have got.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Do you know, I bet it's not.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I think, just step back and take a deep breath...
0:20:31 > 0:20:36- Well, I know a few artists' names, which helps.- That'll do. That'll do.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- So, David Hockney, I think, is an artist.- David Hockney.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many
0:20:43 > 0:20:45of our 100 people said David Hockney.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Oh! He is an artist's name, most certainly.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Yes, I was going to say, the most recent one on that list is from
0:20:53 > 0:20:561905, I think, so David Hockney, a long time before he was born even,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59let alone painting.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Lovely artist.- Oh, he certainly is.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Certainly is. Absolutely.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Now, Ben, who's springing to mind for you?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- I'm going to go with Constable. - OK, Constable, says Ben.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Let's see if Constable's right.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Let's see how many of our 100 said Constable.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:2327. APPLAUSE
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Yeah, The Hay Wain is on that list of must-see works.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, Rosalie, who would you like to go for?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'll go for J M W Turner.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39J M W Turner, says Rosalie. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Let's see how many of our 100 said that, Turner.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Absolutely right. Well, 27 for Constable.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I wonder where Turner ends up?
0:21:49 > 0:21:5034.
0:21:52 > 0:21:5434 for Turner.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- The Fighting Temeraire is on that list.- Thank you very much.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Now, we're halfway through the round, let's just check-up those scores.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Ben and Ray, once again, they're just doing it every time.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06These two are unstoppable. 27 is your score.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0834 is where we find Rosalie and Wilf
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- and then, 100...- Yeah.- Jack and Mike.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Listen, anything could happen in the next pass, but, Mike,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16we most certainly need a low score from you. So we're going to come back
0:22:16 > 0:22:19down the line now. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24OK. Now, Wilf, we're looking for any artist who has
0:22:24 > 0:22:28a painting in the top 30 highlights of the National Gallery.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I'm just going to say Claude Monet. - You're going to say Monet.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Oh, and Ray was going to say that! I can't believe it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Claude Monet says Wilf. Here's your red line.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39If you can get below that with Monet, you're in the MON-EY.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42That's just unforgivable, I'm so sorry.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Let's just see how many of our 100 people said Monet.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Very well done.- Phew!
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Look at that!
0:22:53 > 0:22:5519, our lowest score.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It pays to go abroad, you see. There we are. 53 is your total.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I don't want to tempt fate,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06but it's beginning to look like we're NOT going to have lockdown
0:23:06 > 0:23:08for about the first time in 30 or 40 years.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09LAUGHTER
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Ray.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Yes. Right. There's a few bouncing round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I'll go for Van Gogh.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Van Gogh, says Ray. Van Gogh. There's your red line.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Get below that with Van Gogh and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Van Gogh.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It's right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Welcome to Round Three.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3631.
0:23:36 > 0:23:3831. 58 your total.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Sunflowers by Van Gogh is on that list.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45They've got some good paintings, haven't they? In that there Gallery.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Oh, these are all paintings that are owned by the National Gallery?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- In their collection, yeah. - Right, in that collection.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Right, now, Mike, this is a painful task for me, but I have to tell you,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58you are the high scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But, how cool would it be to leave
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- with a pointless answer?- Exactly.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- Wouldn't that be nice?- Yes. It's a shame we don't have one, but...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Erm...
0:24:09 > 0:24:10I'll go with Raphael.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Raphael, says Mike. Let's see if that's on that list.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16No red line for you as you're the high scorers, unfortunately,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19but let's see, is Raphael there and how many people said it if it is?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It is there.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29You see!
0:24:29 > 0:24:34You see, Mike, how easy it is to have a nice low score, 4.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35There we are.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37104 is your total but that's good.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well played, Mike. I don't know if you know your art
0:24:39 > 0:24:42or whether you're just a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44but it's a good answer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46The Madonna Of The Pinks is in that collection.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50there's a few up here. Have you got any guesses here?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Yeah, I'll go for...without looking, Bruegel.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- I don't think Bruegel's there. - Oh, no!
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- You'd get 100 points for Bruegel, I'm afraid.- Oh, I'm off. Yep.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- Imagine if that happened, I had to leave and Sue Barker came in.- Oh!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Just the...- Hold on, hold on, I'm thinking about it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- LAUGHTER - Oh, I'd love that.- Oh, I know.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Now, Canaletto is a pointless answer. Claude, not Claude Monet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Francois-Hubert Drouais, a pointless answer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Giovanni Bellini, Jan Gossaert,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres - he's got a lot of names, hasn't he?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30He does. He must take up most of the bottom of the canvas writing that.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Tiring. I'd have a short name. Paul Cezanne is a pointless answer,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36as is Piero Della Francesca. Botticelli, also a pointless answer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Very well done if you said some of those. Some big names there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41We've had all the top four big answers actually -
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Monet, Constable, Van Gogh and Turner.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49the pair who are heading home with their high score of 104,
0:25:49 > 0:25:50I'm so sorry, Mike and Jack.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Listen, we saw the colour of your money there.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We know that you really know some good answers.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Promises great things for next time, when you come back.- Hopefully so.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Let's hope you'll go straight through to the final,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02but, meanwhile, thanks for playing. Mike and Jack.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05APPLAUSE
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Congratulations, Ray and Ben, Rosalie and Wilf,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:26:18 > 0:26:22play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000. There we are.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24APPLAUSE
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Well, you know the drill,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30the first pair to win two questions goes through to the final.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, Ray and Ben, you haven't put a foot wrong.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You haven't put a foot wrong. It's been fantastic,
0:26:35 > 0:26:36and, Rosalie and Wilf,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm so glad we have some veterans of that campaign.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Do you know what we're going to do?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44We're going to melt down the podiums and press, mint some medals
0:26:44 > 0:26:48for people who are here for the great lockdown of wishing songs.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Radio 2's list of 100 greatest guitar riffs.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Ben's rocking out already to those! Richard.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13We're going to show you five images now of acts
0:27:13 > 0:27:15who featured in that list. You just need to tell us
0:27:15 > 0:27:17the most obscure of these, please. Best of luck.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20OK, let's reveal our five acts and here they are.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21We've got...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48There we are. Five acts featured in that list.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Ray and Ben, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Yeah, OK. So...
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I think we're going to go for a newer duo.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Going to go with E and The Black Keys.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The Black Keys say Ray and Ben. The Black Keys.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Now, Rosalie and Wilf, would you like to talk us
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- through the rest of the board? - I'm not sure.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I think... B is U2.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16A, I think, is Franz Ferdinand, could be.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20C, I know, I've got all the CDs, I can't remember what they're called.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I think we're going to go with D, Buddy Holly.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23You're going to go with Buddy Holly.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27OK, so we have The Black Keys and we have Buddy Holly.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Ray and Ben said The Black Keys.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35It's right.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Oh, look at that. 1! APPLAUSE
0:28:42 > 0:28:46That's a great score!
0:28:46 > 0:28:491 for The Black Keys. Superb.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Now, Rosalie and Wilf have said that D is Buddy Holly.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56D, Buddy Holly. Let's see how many of our 100 said Buddy Holly.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Well, it's right. It's got quite a way to go...
0:29:01 > 0:29:05I was going to say, if it beats 1. 73 for Buddy Holly.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So, after one question, Ray and Ben are up one-nil.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Rosalie, you'd have made it much more exciting if you had said
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Franz Ferdinand.- Oh, no.- It would've scored three points.- Oh!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Wouldn't have won, but it would've been a terrific answer.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Franz Ferdinand was absolutely right.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I wish he'd cheer up, that one.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23LAUGHTER
0:29:23 > 0:29:25B is U2, of course,
0:29:25 > 0:29:2770 points for that.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- Rosalie, do you remember C yet?- No.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- REM.- Of course.- REM. 32. The Black Keys.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Pat Carney, of The Black Keys, he and I follow each other on Twitter,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38because we're endlessly tweeted saying we look like each other.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- He seems a very nice fellow actually.- He is and also, look how
0:29:41 > 0:29:44his double act partner is so much shorter than him.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Do you know what his double act partner does, interestingly,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48while he stands up at the front?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50He gets Pat Carney to sit down behind the drums.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- You see.- That's how they do it. - That's how they do it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56The short one stands up, the tall one sits down. We should try that.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00It works. Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Rosalie and Wilf, you get to answer it first,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It concerns...
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Street Questions. Richard.- We're going to show you five clues now.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15The answers to all of them contain the word street,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- you just have to give us the most obscure one.- Thanks very much.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Let's reveal our clues and here they come. We've got...
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Rosalie and Wilf will go first.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We're going to go with the journalist and TV presenter
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Janet Street-Porter.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Janet Street-Porter, say Rosalie and Wilf.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Now then, Ray and Ben, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Well, it's Downing Street,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Ralph McTell, Streets Of London,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Fleet Street.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21I've got every Dylan album and my mind's gone blank!
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- I'd go with Ralph McTell. - Ralph McTell.- OK, which was?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26- Streets Of London. - Streets Of London.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So, we have Janet Street-Porter and we have Streets Of London.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Rosalie and Wilf have said Janet Street-Porter.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Let's see if that's right.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said Janet Street-Porter.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Oh! It's not a bad answer. Look at that.
0:31:44 > 0:31:4630 for Janet Street-Porter.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Now then, Ray and Ben have gone for Streets Of London,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Ralph McTell's only UK top ten hit.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03It's got to beat 30. Is it going to beat 30?
0:32:03 > 0:32:04No, it's not tonight.
0:32:04 > 0:32:0733 for Streets Of London. APPLAUSE
0:32:07 > 0:32:10There we are. Well done, Rosalie and Wilf. Back in the game.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- After two questions it's one all. - Good head-to-head.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Yeah, the only answer that would have beaten Janet Street-Porter
0:32:15 > 0:32:17is the Bob Dylan album, which we'll get to,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20but the top one is Downing Street. What do you think that scored?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24I'd like to think in the 90s but probably in the 70s.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25- 96.- Oh, phew!
0:32:25 > 0:32:29And Fleet Street, you were right, although Fleet Street only scored 49
0:32:29 > 0:32:32and Bob Dylan's 18th studio album,
0:32:32 > 0:32:354 points if you said Street Legal.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37There we are. Thanks very much.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40So it all comes down to this, the decider, the third question.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Very best of luck to both pairs and it concerns...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Countries and their capitals that share no common letters. Richard.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Yes, we're going to show you five pairs here,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59a country and a capital, we're going to give the first and last letters
0:32:59 > 0:33:01of each, just need to tell us what they are, please.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five countries and capitals
0:33:05 > 0:33:06and here they are. We've got...
0:33:15 > 0:33:16I'll read those one last time.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Now then, Ray and Ben will go first.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33I know a couple of them. I'll go for the Uruguay and Montevideo.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Uruguay, Montevideo, say Ray and Ben. Uruguay, Montevideo.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Now, Rosalie and Wilf, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Start the car. - LAUGHTER
0:33:45 > 0:33:47We know Fiji but we don't know what the capital is.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52The only one I know is Japan and Tokyo, at the bottom.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Is that the one you're going to go for?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55OK, Japan and Tokyo.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58So we have Uruguay, Montevideo. Japan and Tokyo.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Now, Ray and Ben said Montevideo and Uruguay.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08It's right.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1350 for Montevideo. APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:1650.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Now then, Rosalie and Wilf have gone for Tokyo and Japan.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25It's right.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Oh! There we go.
0:34:27 > 0:34:3068. Very well done, Ray and Ben.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33That was a close head-to-head, but after three questions,
0:34:33 > 0:34:34you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Yeah, those are the two biggest scorers here.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39All of these other ones would have seen you into the final.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Do you know any of these?- Erm... - It's Congo...- What's it called?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Something ville, isn't it? - Brazzaville.- Brazzaville.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49And that would've scored 10 points. The second one down?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Let's say Liechtenstein, shall we?- It is Liechtenstein.- What's it called?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Vaduz.- Vaduz. There we go. - That's the best answer on the board.
0:34:56 > 0:34:598, and you're right, it is Fiji, and the capital of Fiji is Suva.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Suva.- And 11 of 100 people knew that.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Well played.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Rosalie and Wilf.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Well, you've been through so much in your Pointless career.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15But, no, a really...a spirited and strong performance, I have to say.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Sorry we have to say goodbye, it's been great having you.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Thank you so much, Rosalie and Wilf.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22APPLAUSE
0:35:23 > 0:35:26But for Ray and Ben, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Congratulations, Ray and Ben, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:33 > 0:35:35and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Yay!
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:48 > 0:35:49There it is.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51APPLAUSE
0:35:51 > 0:35:55As always, you get to choose your category for this final round
0:35:55 > 0:35:57from the four that we put up on the board.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:36:08 > 0:36:1120th Century Politics or Modern US Fiction, I'd go with.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Or The Year 2004. But not sport, just not sport.- You choose.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Do you want to do politics? - We'll do politics.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- RESIGNED:- We'll do politics.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You suggested it and then when he said yes, you went, "Ugh"!
0:36:22 > 0:36:25OK, you're going to go for politics. Richard.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28OK, good luck. Three very different questions here.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31We're looking for the name of any woman who held ministerial office
0:36:31 > 0:36:32during the 20th century
0:36:32 > 0:36:35according to the House of Commons' information office.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Any woman who held a ministerial office.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We are looking for any prime minister who served
0:36:39 > 0:36:42under a king in the 20th century.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47Or we are looking for any Fathers of the House in the House of Commons.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49That's the longest serving MP at any given time.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Any woman who has held ministerial office,
0:36:51 > 0:36:55any prime minister who served under a king or any Fathers of the House.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Very best of luck.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Thanks very much indeed. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:59 > 0:37:01to come up with three answers and all you need to win
0:37:01 > 0:37:04that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Are you ready?- We are.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10OK, what have you got?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- I've got an obscure woman MP. - Which is?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Bessie Braddock. - What did she do?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- She was an MP.- OK. But was she a minister?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- She stands a chance. - Jacqui Smith was a minister.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Father of the House in the House of Commons, Sir George Young...
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- was one of them.- Prime ministers under a king, Baldwin?
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Stanley Baldwin.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Arthur Bonar Law, was he one of them?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37I'm not sure.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38David Lloyd George.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44- He did. That sounds quite popular. - Yeah, so, so, Jacqui...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Was Ted Heath ever Father of the House?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Oh, that's not a bad shout.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I don't know, though. So we've got to pick three.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53What do you want to go with?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Let's go with Sir George Young... - I'm going obscure, Bessie Braddock.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00So Bessie Braddock, George Young and who do you want for the third one?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Prime minister?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Baldwin.- You want to go with Baldwin?- Stanley Baldwin.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- OK, are you happy with that? - Do you want to...? Yeah.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12There we are, the time is up, brilliant, OK, now,
0:38:12 > 0:38:14what are your three answers going to be?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- So we'll have Father of the House, George Young.- George Young.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Women MPs who held ministerial office was...- I'm going...
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- It's quite obscure but I'm going Bessie Braddock.- Bessie Braddock.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- And prime minister was Stanley Baldwin.- Stanley Baldwin.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Bessie Braddock.- Bessie Braddock. - Bessie Braddock we put last.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Least likely to be pointless? - Stanley Baldwin.- Stanley Baldwin.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- OK, very good indeed. And Sir George Young in the middle.- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43OK, well, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45and here they are. We've got...
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Well, very best of luck. Three good answers up there on the board.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Let's see if any of those are pointless.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56If one of them is pointless, you will win 2,000 quid.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58What would you do with that, Ray?
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Well, my half, I'd probably bribe my wife to let me go back to Nepal
0:39:03 > 0:39:04but...
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I think she needs more than that to let me go back.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09You would just hand that over to her
0:39:09 > 0:39:11and then off you'd go? On a sort of climbing thing?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- Well, I'd like to go back to Everest.- Very good, very good.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16OK, now, Ben, how about you?
0:39:16 > 0:39:20I'd like to blow it all on CDs but I think my wife would prefer
0:39:20 > 0:39:22we put it towards a house deposit.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25What I would say is just get downloads, Ben, downloads.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26- It's the future.- It's the future.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Right, well, best of luck, best of luck.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Three good answers on that board.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32OK, in the first instance, we were looking for prime ministers who
0:39:32 > 0:39:35served a king. Stanley Baldwin was your answer.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Let's find out, though. If it is pointless, it'll win you £2,000.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43How many people said Stanley Baldwin?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46It's right.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48That was the first thing it had to be.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50The second thing it has to be is pointless.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52So down Stanley Baldwin goes through the 30s,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54into the 20s, into the teens
0:39:54 > 0:39:55and through them the other side.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Down it goes, still going down.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58APPLAUSE
0:40:01 > 0:40:035.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- That's a good first answer, though, isn't it? 5.- It's not bad.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Very pleased with that. Not pointless, though,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Your second answer. We were looking, in this case,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16for the Father of the House at any point in the 20th century.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17You went for George Young.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22If it's pointless, it will win you £2,000. George Young.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Bad luck.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Oh, bad luck, Ben, I'm sorry,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Bessie Braddock.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36In this case, we were looking for any female who has held
0:40:36 > 0:40:39a ministerial post in the 20th century.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41If it's pointless, it will win you £2,000.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43How many people said Bessie Braddock?
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Oh, no!
0:40:49 > 0:40:51APPLAUSE Bad luck.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Well, we will discover some good answers from Richard
0:40:57 > 0:40:59and maybe we'll see how close you might have come to giving
0:40:59 > 0:41:01a pointless answer in your chat.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04But, unfortunately, you didn't manage to submit a pointless answer,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That will roll over onto the next show. But what a performance.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It's been great having you on the show.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Strong performance the whole way through.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Very well done indeed.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16And you get to take a Pointless trophy home.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18So there we are, something to show for it. Well done.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:26And at least you both gave us a wrong answer. That's nice.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27That shares the blame.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Sir George Young, never Father of the House.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Bessie Braddock, she was an MP from 1945 right through
0:41:32 > 0:41:35to 1970 in Liverpool. Never a minister, I'm afraid.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Actually, the women ministers was the one where
0:41:38 > 0:41:39most of the pointless answers were here.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42And I'll tell you someone who is a pointless answer...
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Don't say Jacqui Smith.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Yeah, Jacqui Smith, a pointless answer, I'm afraid.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49So sorry. You said it during the 60 seconds but didn't go with it.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Let's take a look at some more of them.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Angela Eagle, you could have had Gillian Shephard who was
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Secretary of State for Education.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Glenda Jackson, Margaret Bondfield,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00who was the first woman cabinet minister, Margaret Bondfield.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Loads of other answers you could have had. Angela Rumbold,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Ann Taylor, Cheryl Gillan, Dawn Primarolo, Gisela Stuart,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Gwyneth Dunwoody, Hilary Armstrong,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Joan Ruddock, Kate Hoey, Lynda Chalker,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Patricia Hewitt, lots and lots of pointless answers on that list.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Well done if you said one of those.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18The prime ministers, there's only two pointless answers here.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Arthur Balfour would've been a pointless answer,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I'm sure you know him, and Robert Gascoyne-Cecil,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Marquess of Salisbury.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Very well done if you said either of those.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30And the Fathers of the House, a tricky one, this.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Bernard Braine, George Strauss, Henry Campbell-Bannerman who became
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Father of the House, Richard Austen Butler.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38In fact, everyone apart from Churchill, Heath, Callaghan
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and David Lloyd George, David Lloyd George would've scored you
0:42:41 > 0:42:441 point on that. Everyone apart from that, they were pointless,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46so well done if you said any of them.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And tough luck in the studio. Jacqui Smith, the one that got away.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Thanks very much, Richard, well,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Ray and Ben.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54I mean, far too soon, really,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56shame not to have you back for the next show.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00But thank you for playing. Really strong contestants. Ray and Ben there.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- APPLAUSE - Cheers.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Sadly Ray and Ben didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:09 > 0:43:11when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
