0:00:12 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello. My name is Jonathan and this is my best friend Bethan.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We're both originally from south Wales, but we live in Brighton.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi. My name is Ian and this is my brother-in-law Stuart
0:00:45 > 0:00:46and we're from Bristol.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Jason. This is Joe.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53We study together at Manchester Metropolitan University in Crewe.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello. I'm Lucy. And this is my friend Teri.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'm from Staffordshire and Teri's from Shropshire.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Thanks very much. We'll talk more to you as the show goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The bouncer on the door of the 200 Club.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14No tracksuits, no trainers, no mercy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. Afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hello. How are you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24- I'm very well, thank you. - Excellent.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28We had a lovely win last time. A really lovely win.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We had Chappy and Sammy, who are two lovely golden retrievers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32No, they were people.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36They were people called Chappy and Sammy and they took away the jackpot.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Only one pair coming back from that show, Jason and Joe. Welcome back.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Got knocked out in round two. So we welcome all of our newcomers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- And podium one is very colourful, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- It's like visiting Kew Gardens! Look at that. Isn't that lovely?- Lovely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Round one is a lovely round.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54It's a very nice construction of question in round one.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- I think you'll like it. - I'll look forward to it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Now, Sammy and Chappy won the jackpot last time,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:14 > 0:02:16at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And there is to be no conferring.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Our first category today is...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25There we are. Literary characters.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Already looks like a classic round.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Can you all decide on your pairs,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Bethan is thrilled with this.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Richard...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52We're going to give you seven clues on each board.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56They're all just clues to things which share their name with a character in a Shakespeare play.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00There'll be seven on the first pass, seven on the second pass, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01So, very best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, so let's reveal our first board of things.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And here they are...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Jonathan, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- It's great to have you here. Up from Brighton?- We are, yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01And what do you do in Brighton, Jonathan?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm a final year student nurse at the moment.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- How many years have you been studying?- Three years.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's been quite a long one. But light at the end of the tunnel.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Fun? Hard work? Bit of both? - Hard Work.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Tears. Stress.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Rewarding? Satisfying? - Yes. Best thing I've ever done.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And have you got things lined up for when you finish?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Hopefully, acute care.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- You know, fast-paced, a bit of drama.- OK.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Talking of drama, this is the round.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28What are you going to go for on that board?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm going to say the board game also known as Reversi
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- and say Othello. - Othello says Jonathan.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Let's see if Othello is right and let's see how may people said it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Look at that, 16! That's a good score, Jonathan.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Great start to the round. 16.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Nice start, Jonathan. Well played.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I like Othello, the game. - It's a great game.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56It's a good play, too, as well.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- It's sad.- I'd rather play the game, in a funny kind of way.- Yeah, yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Don't say it's sad, because that's a spoiler alert.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06But, yeah, don't tell me what happens in Othello.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Because I'm going to go and see it. - Yeah. Bit sad.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Well, next time they put it on, they could have that above the theatre...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15"A bit sad, Alexander Armstrong."
0:05:15 > 0:05:17"Pointless' Alexander Armstrong."
0:05:17 > 0:05:19"Alexander Armstrong, off of TV's Pointless."
0:05:19 > 0:05:20"A bit sad."
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Ian, welcome.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Welcome to Pointless. Here from Bristol?- We are indeed, yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26And what do you do, Ian?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I work for a fencing company,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30so I go around, measure up sites
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- and put up fences and things like that.- All manner of fences?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- All manner of fences. - Security fences?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Security fences we do, as well.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41We did one up in the Cotswolds once.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Because somebody was throwing stones into someone's farm.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And I believe it was your place, if I remember rightly.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh, yes, we were throwing stones. That's right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Xander was throwing the stones.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56At a farm. Yes, the neighbours put up a fence. Well, it was friendly.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It was just messages, wrapped around stones
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and lobbed over in the spirit of neighbourliness
0:06:02 > 0:06:03and they chose to see it otherwise.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- So Ian put up your fence? - We didn't put it up, no.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08They didn't go for the job in the end.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Yeah, there was an English Heritage site at the end of our garden...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I say was. We've knocked it down now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15LAUGHTER
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Because you wanted a conservatory. - Yeah. Exactly.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22We cleared it out the way. Now the kitchen's twice the size!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Anyway, so, Ian, welcome. Welcome. - Thank you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- How's this board?- Not too bad, yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29There are a few on there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33So I think I'll go for the surname of John Thaw's character
0:06:33 > 0:06:36in the Sweeney as Regan.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Regan. Regan. Good answer.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Regan.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Well, 16 is our only score so far. And that was a good one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:4931 for Regan.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52APPLAUSE
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- One of King Lear's daughters, of course.- Indeed.- From King Lear.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Oh, from King Lear?- Yeah. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Now, Jason, welcome back. Our only returning pair, Jason and Joe.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Remind us what you're doing at the moment, Jason.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'm doing a masters in sport and exercise science,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11focused mainly on coaching.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And are you going to go on and coach?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Yes, hopefully. I fly out to the States soon to start coaching.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, that's fun. What are you going to be coaching there?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Football or soccer. - I see. So soccer there?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Is all the terminology the same in their soccer?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27No, they have cleats instead of boots.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30That's going to become uncomfortable, isn't it, cleats?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You can't say tackle, because they just jump on each other.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So you've got to learn, you've got to learn a whole new vocab. Wow.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40OK, now, Jason, we've got to get you further than round two.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41So what are we going to go for?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Erm...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I know a couple for certain.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48And then one risky one.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50But I'm going to say the fourth one down
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and say Hermione.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Hermione, says Jason.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hermione.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's right. Well, 31 is our high score.
0:08:02 > 0:08:0347 is an new high score.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Not bad.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Not bad, considering that's a Harry Potter-related answer,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10you got off quite lightly there, I'd say. 47.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The queen of Sicilia in The Winter's Tale.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Strange that, isn't it? It tells you something about the 100 people.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Because if you just said, "What's the name of Emma Watson's character in Harry Potter?"
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I think you're going to get more than 47.- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24But because they have to match it up with a Shakespeare play,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27they suddenly doubt themselves and think, "Well..."
0:08:27 > 0:08:28- It's odd, isn't it?- Mm.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Good. Teri, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you very much.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Welcome. Great to have you here. And what you do, Teri?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I'm actually between jobs at the moment, Xander.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39And are you happily between jobs?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- When did you stop doing your previous job?- About ten months ago.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- So I'm having a little gap year. - Very nice.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- And what have you done with it so far?- A lot of travelling.- Perfect.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Visiting theatre.- Lovely.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Growing all my own fruit and veggies.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- For the first time? - No, I've done it for a few years.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58But I'm doing things like pineapples and apricots this year,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- just to vary it a bit.- No? So a greenhouse, clearly.- Yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- What's the most exotic vegetable you're growing?- Oooh...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Any asparagus?- Oh, yes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Lots of asparagus. That's lovely.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11And eating it fresh-picked.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Once you've had it fresh, you'll never get it from the supermarket again.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I worked for a while on a mushroom farm years ago
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and once you've had fresh mushrooms, you never get them from the supermarket again, either.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I didn't know that. I never knew there was such a thing as fresh mushrooms.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26What's the appeal?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Texture.- Texture? Very nice.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Listen, Teri, this board is all yours.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You can talk us through it and show off all your Shakespeare knowledge.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, obviously, the top one I would say would be Hamlet.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38But I think that will probably score quite highly.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Dogwood tree I would love to think was called Desdemona, but I doubt it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Hamish Macbeth was Robert Carlyle.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And, again, this Manchester girl group, I would really love it
0:09:50 > 0:09:54if the Higgins sisters had a band called Coriolanus.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58But I don't think they did and they could have been Cleopatra.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59I don't know.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03So I'm going to play safe and go with Robert Carlyle being Macbeth.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK, you're going to go with Macbeth.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Flirted with Cleopatra, but have gone with Macbeth.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yes, and I think that's probably a mistake.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK, let's see if Macbeth's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Oh, not bad. Down it goes. 28.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Good score.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Good score, Teri.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It is a good score. You did well to avoid Hamlet.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29As you suspected, it would have scored more points.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It would have scored you 46.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Now, the Higgins sisters were in a band called Coriolanus.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Unbelievable. They weren't really. Do you know this one?- Cleopatra.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Yeah, Cleopatra, Comin' Atcha! Yeah, absolutely.- Oh!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Three points for that. And the last one is a pointless answer.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- I bet you know it. - It's Dogberry.- Dogberry.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Very well done if you said Dogberry at home. Pointless answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Let's take a look at those scores. Jonathan...
0:10:54 > 0:10:58What a start to the round that was. Very well done indeed.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yeah, well, 16 to you.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Then we travel up to 28, where we find Teri and Lucy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Then up to 31, where we find Ian and Stuart.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And then up to 47, Jason and Joe.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10So, now, Joe, we need a low score from you. Best of luck with that.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21We've got...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Lucy, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11And what you do, Lucy?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm a university lecturer in Manchester Metropolitan University,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17where these two guys come from.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Have you swapped notes at all?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22No, we're different campuses, thankfully.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- Oh...- Because I don't do sport.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, so the coaching department and the...
0:12:26 > 0:12:27What's your department?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Mine's the nursing department. - I see.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- So not a great deal of overlap. - No.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35And what do you like doing in your spare time, Lucy?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, all sorts of things.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39But travelling, I suppose, is one of them.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43And I suppose that's what Teri and I tend to enjoy together,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46because we go off roaming around all over the place.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So what's been your favourite destination so far?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52We've tried a few, but the favourite so far,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54we keep going back to, is Namibia.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Because it's just fabulous.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- But don't tell anyone. - OK, well, we won't.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Because the fewer people that know...
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Namibia. Very good.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Lucy, you are on 28.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05The high scorers at the moment are Joe and Jason on 47.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09If you score 18 or less, you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Right, OK. So there's no pressure, then.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I used to be a steward at the Globe Theatre and so I've seen nearly...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Oh, this is perfect.- No, it isn't.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Because I don't know what those things are.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25But I do know what Derek Jacobi was doing as a Roman emperor
0:13:25 > 0:13:26- and he was Claudius.- Claudius.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29There we are. Claudius. Here's your red line.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30This is what you're aiming for.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's not the end of the world if you don't get beyond it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34But if you do, you're definitely in round two.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36How many people said Claudius?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Oh, and very good indeed. 31.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4859 is your total. I suspect that will see you into round two.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Hamlet's stepfather.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Funnily enough, Derek Jacobi played him, as well, in Kenneth Branagh's film of Hamlet.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Thank you, Richard.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Now, Joe, welcome back.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Thank you.- Welcome back.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Now, what do you do, Joe?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm a student studying business management.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So how did your paths cross, Joe and Jason?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10We both went to badminton club together.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That's how we met.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Met through the shuttlecock. There we are.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And aside from badminton, what else have you been up to?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And, obviously, hours of hard work.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21What else have you been up to during your time at Manchester?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Well, spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball
0:14:25 > 0:14:29and at the moment I'm trying to study something like
0:14:29 > 0:14:31lessons on how to look after a kid.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Lessons in how to look after a kid? - Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Are you shortly to be a father? - Yes, I am.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, congratulations, Joe. That's wonderful.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Due when?- Erm, in a few months' time.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Very, very good.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Well, yes, OK.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48You're looking a little bit overwhelmed by this, Joe.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Do want to take a seat for a moment or two?- A last-minute effort.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well, listen, well done. Yes, get those books in. Start reading.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Now, Joe, 47 is your score. 11 or less gets you into the next round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well, there's two I know for sure,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but I just don't know which one is going to be lower.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07But I think they're both going to be highs.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09But I'm going to say
0:15:09 > 0:15:12the black rubber disc used in ice hockey is a puck.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Puck says Joe.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Let's see if that's right and let's see how may people said it. There's your red line.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20It's right.
0:15:23 > 0:15:2862, Joe. That's quite a high one there. 109 is your score.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The mischievous sprite in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Big score, isn't it? Mm.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Mm.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Stuart.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Hello.- Stuart, now, welcome.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- What do you do, Stuart? - I work for Highways England.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41And what do you do for them?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- I work in the Intelligent Transport Systems Research Group.- Yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Of all the transport research groups,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- the intelligent one, I think, is the best.- That's right, yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53We've had a few from there and the thick ones we had.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The thick group were surprisingly good, weren't they?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59They were very good. They turned up late, but they were very good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Yeah, a round on Cleopatra came up, actually,
0:16:02 > 0:16:03which they were particularly good on.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Now, Stuart, what are your hobbies when you're not...?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I really enjoy horror films, horror novels and I collect horror masks.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Tell me about...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16What the...? You collect horror...
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What, that they use in films?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah, Mike Myers in Leatherface and...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22How many have you got?
0:16:22 > 0:16:2340 or 50.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25That's too many. How many...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27LAUGHTER
0:16:27 > 0:16:29What's the scariest one you've got?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32My favourite one is the Leatherface one, which is the first one I got.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33The Mike Myers one.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So good to have you in charge of our roads!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37LAUGHTER
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Now, Stuart, this board, there is still five on there for you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44What are you going to go for?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm going to go for the top one.
0:16:48 > 0:16:511990s sitcom written and starring Ade Edmondson and Rick Mayall,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53which I think is Bottom.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Bottom says Stuart. Here's your red line.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You'd have to get below that with Bottom to be into the next round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00So let's see if you can. How many people said Bottom?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It's right. And you've done it. Well done.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Wow. Bottom going a long way down. 26.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Taking you up to 57.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Well played, Stuart. Great answer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- That's a great sitcom, as well, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- It's still underrated, I think. - Yeah. Thanks, Richard.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Now, then, Bethan, welcome to Pointless.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- It's like having a sweet pea garden, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31And you won't be able to get this, but they smell so nice, as well.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33LAUGHTER
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, absolutely... I'm downwind. It's great.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Bethan, what do you do?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm a project support officer in Brighton in a hospital trust there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44It's the kind of corporate side to the NHS, which...
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Not as good as Jonathan but, yeah, it's fun.- But it's fun.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49- You enjoy it?- Yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I work with the execs, so you kind of see the top tier and,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- although you're not there, yeah, it's really interesting.- Good.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And what do you like doing when you're not doing that, Bethan?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00We watch a lot of horror films, as well, but we're not into the masks.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02The masks are the bit that kind of terrify me.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06There's this one song in a film that I hate
0:18:06 > 0:18:09and my housemate played it round the door of my bedroom the other day
0:18:09 > 0:18:11to scare me and I just...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Yeah. Creepy horror songs aren't good.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17OK, so the songs you don't like and the masks.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Stuart, you don't wear these masks ever, do you?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Halloween sometimes, yeah. Not to go trick or treating.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Fancy dress parties.- Fine, OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27So, horror, big.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- We go to a lot of pub quizzes, as well.- Excellent.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35And game shows, we watch a lot of. Kind of quizzes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- But we're not professional quizzers. - Well, we shall see.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40You are our low scorers so far.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The high scorers, incidentally, are Joe and Jason on 109.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46If you can score 92 or less, you're into the next round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Do you fancy talking us through the board?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52The 18th letter of the Nato phonetic alphabet is Romeo.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56The nickname for the city of Portsmouth is Pompey, I believe.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58The band led by Guy Garvey...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I've never heard this character, but I know the band.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm, like, sure the answer is Elbow.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07So I don't know whether to go for it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Yeah, I'm going to go for Elbow. - You're going to go for Elbow?- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14If you can get below that with Elbow... Surely. Surely.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I'm just trying to remember the name.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Let's find out how many people said Elbow.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Look at that. Down it goes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Bethan, look at that!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29The lowest score of the round. Very well done indeed. 10.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Takes your total up to 26.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36He's a dim-witted constable in Measure For Measure, Elbow.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38But you see, that's interesting,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40what we were saying about the Emma Watson question.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42You knew that for a 100% fact
0:19:42 > 0:19:45but, just because you don't know the Shakespeare character,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47suddenly your brain goes...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You were right about Romeo.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's the biggest scorer.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Would have scored you 33 points.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Portsmouth is Pompey.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02It's a clown in Measure For Measure, Pompey. 46 for that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03And do you know this one?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The gazelle is hard, but there's a Shakespeare character...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Ariel in The Tempest. - Is the right answer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Very well done if you said that at home. It's a pointless answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16As this is the end of our first round, we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20And I'm sorry to say, Joe and Jason, it is you.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22But thank you so much for playing, Jo and Jason.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26APPLAUSE
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32APPLAUSE
0:20:34 > 0:20:36And so we're now down to three pairs.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39At the end of this round we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Jonathan and Bethan, I mean,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43that's just an exemplary first appearance on Pointless.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Very well done indeed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Lowest individual score there, Bethan, with Elbow.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48And the lowest team score, as well.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Actually, Stuart and Ian and Lucy and Teri, not much between you there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55But you've seen off our only returning pair, so well done.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two today is...
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Can you all decide on your pairs, who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And whoever is going first, please step up the podium.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:21:14 > 0:21:20to name as many multiple Grand Slam finalists as they could.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Multiple Grand Slam finalists.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Richard...
0:21:24 > 0:21:27We're looking for the name of any tennis player, female or male,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29who's reached ten or more Grand Slam singles finals
0:21:29 > 0:21:31from the beginning of the open era in 1968
0:21:31 > 0:21:33through to the end of April 2015.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Grand Slams, of course, being Australian Open, French Open,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Wimbledon and the US Open.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Now, Bethan.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't know whether to take a punt on someone that I know
0:21:44 > 0:21:48but doesn't know whether they've got to that many finals.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Or go for someone really obvious.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52OK, let's go for someone like...
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Boris Becker.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57That could be a good score.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Let's see how many people said Boris Becker.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well, it's right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Still going down, Bethan. Still going down. Down it goes. 23.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09That's perfect.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12APPLAUSE
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Exactly ten finals for Boris Becker, who won six of them, as well.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Thanks, Richard.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Now, Stuart.- Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Stuart.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Again, I'm not sure, but I think Marina Sharapova.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Sharapova says Stuart.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Let's see if Marina Sharapova is right and let's see how many people said it.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, bad luck, Stuart. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Scores you 100 points.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah, can't accept Marina Sharapova, I'm afraid, Stuart.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now, then, Lucy. How is this for you?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's terrible.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Oh, really? - I know nothing about tennis.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- But I do know one or two names. - Oh, well, this is good. There we are.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So I'm going to go really safe and say Roger Federer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Roger Federer says Lucy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:1245. Not bad, Lucy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:1645.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Yeah, you can afford to do that with 100 points on the board there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2225 Grand Slam finals, which is a record for a man.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:25 > 0:23:2723 our lowest score.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Once again, Bethan and Jonathan looking very strong at this point.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Then up to 45, where we find Lucy and Teri.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Then up to 100, Stuart and Ian.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We'll discover why that answer was unacceptable shortly.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Ian, let's have a really low score from you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It might keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Back down the line now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Now, Teri, so we're looking for any male or female tennis player
0:23:50 > 0:23:53who's been in ten or more Grand Slam finals.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Please, tell me your knowledge of tennis is...- Extensive, Xander.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Yes. Good. Good.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- I'm lying.- Oh, right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Like Lucy, I know names.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Names is all we want.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Yeah, but are they names of tennis players?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Ah, I see what you mean.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12No, I'm going to play it reasonably safe
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and I'm going to say...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Venus Williams.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Venus Williams says Teri.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, if you can score 54 or less, you're through.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24There's your red line. Let's see how many people said Venus Williams.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well done, you're through.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Good enough. 35 for Venus Williams. Takes your total up to 80.
0:24:37 > 0:24:4014 Grand Slam finals for Venus Williams. Won seven, lost seven.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Thanks, Richard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Now, then, Ian.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well, I know a few.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Listen, there is a world in which you could get into the head-to-head.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- It involves you having to score 22 or less.- I'll take a bit of a risk.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I know he's won some and he's been in finals,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but I'm not sure how many. Stefan Edberg.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Stefan Edberg says Ian.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No red line for you as you're the highest scorers.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Let's see how many people said Stefan Edberg.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, you've passed 22. Down it goes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Oh, it's pointless!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15APPLAUSE
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Ian, nothing wrong with that. A pointless answer.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21And that's £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26It scores you nothing. Puts a little bit of pressure onto Jonathan there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Very, very, very well done indeed. - Really does put some pressure on.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Terrific answer, Ian. Very well played, yeah.
0:25:31 > 0:25:3311 Grand Slam finals for Stefan Edberg.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Now, then, Jonathan. We've got a game here.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Yeah, definitely.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You have to score 76 or less.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We're looking for any finalist in ten or more grandslams.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Male or female tennis players.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Do I play it safe or do I risk?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- You know, it's... - Don't ask me that one.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I've got one quite obvious answer, one I'm not quite sure if it's happened for him.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59So I was going to say either Serena Williams as my safe one,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01or punt with Pete Sampras.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04And I'm going to go with Pete Sampras.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Pete Sampras says Jonathan. Here's your red line.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11How many people said Pete Sampras?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14It's right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And you're through.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Oh, it's a good answer. 21.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22APPLAUSE
0:26:22 > 0:26:2344 is your total.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Yes, 18 Grand Slam finals for Pete Sampras. Well played.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Serena Williams would have scored you 28, as well.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Would have seen you safely through.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Before we do the pointless answers, there are a few,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'll go through some of the low scorers.
0:26:36 > 0:26:3814 for Steffi Graf. 13 Jimmy Connors.
0:26:38 > 0:26:4010 Billie Jean King,
0:26:40 > 0:26:426 for Ivan Lendl. 5 Martina Hingis.
0:26:42 > 0:26:454 for Maria Sharapova.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I'm afraid I can't take Marina. You would have got 2 for Chris Evert.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Chris Evert's been in more Grand Slam finals
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- than any other tennis player in history.- No?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55More than Martina. She's been in 34 Grand Slam finals.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00The ones that none of our 100 people said.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario of Spain.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Evonne Goolagong. Or Evonne Cawley.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Margaret Court.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Mats Wilander, another Swede.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Monica Seles. And Stefan Edberg.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Let's take a look at the top three answers. They are Rafael Nadal, 34.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Venus Williams, 35.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And Roger Federer at 45.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25A few other names on the list who've done the same thing.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Borg, 24. McEnroe, 23.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Djokovic, 20. Martina Navratilova, only 17 points.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Would have been a very good answer. And Agassi would have scored you 16.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So the pair who are heading home with the highest score of 100...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41They scored a pointless answer. Ian, very well done.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44A very generous thing to do as a parting shot to Pointless.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Clearly, you've got the chops.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We'll hope to see much more of you next time you're on.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50But, meantime, thanks very much for playing. Ian and Stuart...
0:27:50 > 0:27:53APPLAUSE
0:27:53 > 0:27:56But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Congratulations, Jonathan, Bethan and Lucy and Teri.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You're now one step closer to the final
0:28:05 > 0:28:10and a chance to play for our jackpot, which now stands at £1,250.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12OK, well, you know the rules at this point.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You're now allowed to chat before you give your answers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17And the first pair to get two questions goes through to the final.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Well, Jonathan and Bethan, you haven't put a foot wrong yet.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Really good, low-scoring, tactical play.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Even when faced with questions that you weren't entirely sure of.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Lucy and Teri, likewise.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I feel we haven't really seen you at your best.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34You've had two categories here that you didn't particularly enjoy.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38So let's hope something comes up in this head-to-head that you like the look of.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44APPLAUSE
0:28:46 > 0:28:49OK, here comes your first question.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52And it concerns coronations.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53Coronations, Richard...
0:28:53 > 0:28:57We're going to show you five pictures now of British monarchs in their coronation robes.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00You just need to give us their name and regnal number, please.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Thanks very much. Let's reveal our monarchs. And here they come.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05We've got...
0:29:30 > 0:29:32There we are.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Five monarchs in their coronation robes.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Now, Jonathan and Bethan, you've been our low scorers throughout, so you will go first.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Oh, it's not a very, er...
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Not a great question for us, to be honest.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- E.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- OK.- Total guess.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00I think E must be Queen Elizabeth II.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Our queen.- OK.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Did I get the number right?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07OK, Queen Elizabeth II say Jonathan and Bethan.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Now, Lucy and Teri.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Do you fancy talking through that board?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- I think I know C.- We know C.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- We know D.- Yeah.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Pretty good idea about B. - You choose which.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22We just want to play safe, really, don't we? C?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- Yeah.- C.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25We'll go for C, then.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Queen Victoria.- OK, Queen Victoria.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30So we have Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31In the order they were given,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Jonathan and Bethan said Queen Elizabeth II for E.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:4474.
0:30:47 > 0:30:4974 got that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Now, Lucy and Teri have gone for Queen Victoria for C.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Let's see how many people got that.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Well, it wins you the points.
0:31:02 > 0:31:0342.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Well, OK. What a turn up there.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14Lucy and Teri, well done. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Rather begs the question with E, is if it isn't Elizabeth II,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- who would it be? - Bloody Mary, I don't know.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Which of our many queens is that a photograph of?- Yeah.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- A?- Is George VI.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29George VI. 22 points for that.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- B?- I think George V.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34But it's a very old-looking...
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Well, that was when he had his hipster beard.- Yeah.
0:31:37 > 0:31:3916 points for that. That was during Movember.
0:31:39 > 0:31:4216.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And D. Do you know D? It's the best answer on the board.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Edward VII.- Edward VII, yeah.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- That would have scored you 13. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51OK, here's your second question now.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Jonathan and Bethan, we need you to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58So best of luck. Remember, Lucy and Teri will get to answer first. It concerns...
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Italian city names. Richard...
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We're going to show you the common English names of five Italian cities,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08but in the form of anagrams, I'm afraid.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15OK, let's reveal our five anagrams and here they are. We've got...
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I'll read those one last time.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Lucy and Teri, you will go first.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- I've got three.- The bottom one.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Yeah. And then the one above it. And the second one.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- OK.- Middle one?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I think I know it, but I'm not absolutely sure.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I just can't get past the airbag for the corgi!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I think we'll have to go with...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I'm going for the one at the bottom.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I'm going to play safe, I think. - Yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I think we'll play safe and we think "feel corn" is...
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Florence. - Florence say Lucy and Teri. Florence.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Now, Jonathan and Bethan.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07OK, you can talk through them, if you like.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09So we think the second one is Milan.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Not sure of the third one, the fourth one being Venice.- Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- But we'll go... - Go for which one you want.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Milan. - OK, you're going to go for Milan.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So we have Florence and we have Milan.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Now, Lucy and Teri said Florence.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Florence.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's right.
0:33:33 > 0:33:3444.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37APPLAUSE
0:33:39 > 0:33:40We'll see if that's good enough.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Now, Jonathan and Bethan have gone for Milan for "lam in".
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Milan.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50It's right.
0:33:51 > 0:33:5366 for Milan.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Which means, Lucy and Teri, well done.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59After only two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02There's a couple of answers there that would have won you the points.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04The third one down, racy uses...
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- Syracuse.- Syracuse.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Would have won you the point. 14.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Evince wouldn't have won you the point, of course. It is Venice.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13But that would have scored you 89 points.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Now, the top one is the best answer on the board.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I wonder if anyone at home got stuck in the same way I did?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Because the first thing I spotted when that came up
0:34:20 > 0:34:22is it's got the word Garibaldi in it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24So I was thinking, "Is there a place...
0:34:24 > 0:34:26"There must be somewhere in Italy called Garibaldi."
0:34:26 > 0:34:28But there isn't.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31It is Reggio di Calabria.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35And you would have scored 2 points if you said that. Terrific answer.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38So, the pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41they've been our low scorers all the way throughout Pointless,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43but I'm afraid you came up against Lucy and Teri
0:34:43 > 0:34:45when they hit their form in the head-to-head.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48So I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you. But we'll see you again next time.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49I look forward to that.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52In the meantime, thanks very much, Jonathan and Bethan.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56APPLAUSE
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Right, for Lucy and Teri, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01APPLAUSE
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Well, congratulations, Lucy and Teri.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You've seen off all the competition very easily in that last round.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10And you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:18 > 0:35:22and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23So this is the moment of truth.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26What would you like to see in this last round?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- What would be good for you? - Oh, food and drink, please.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Oh, we haven't had any of that. - Star Trek.- No, food and drink!
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Food and drink! - Food and drink and Star Trek?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Star Trek, food and drink.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Food and drink!- OK. Fair enough. Well, let's hope.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39We haven't seen any of those things so far.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43You get to choose your category from the four that come up on the board behind me.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Fingers crossed there's something on there you like the look of. Today's selection is...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The year 1966 will be football.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Which we don't do.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I've only ever seen two films in my life.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02What is cats?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- I don't know, it could be anything. But we don't do films.- Musicals?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I don't know anything about musicals.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I only know Vanilla Ice is a rapper. We haven't got much choice.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Or the year 1966? It might be music. Might be the Beatles.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Might be a bit of football.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Politics... No idea.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18We'll have cats, then, shall we?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- What do you want? - We've got the trophy.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Let's do 1066.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- No, sorry!- 1066...!
0:36:24 > 0:36:25The Battle of Hastings!
0:36:25 > 0:36:271966?
0:36:27 > 0:36:28- Yeah, go on, then.- 1966.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- At least we were alive.- 1966.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Just!- Just, yes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- OK, Richard... - Yeah, three questions in very different areas from 1966 here.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Hopefully, one of them suits you.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40We are looking for the name of anybody
0:36:40 > 0:36:44who served as a Cabinet minister during 1966.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46From the beginning to the end of 1966.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50We're looking for any team who played in the 1966 Fifa World Cup.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53It's the name of any country that had a team there.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Or we're looking for any artist who had a UK number-one single,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59according to the Official Charts Company.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00So any Cabinet minister,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02any of the Fifa World Cup squads
0:37:02 > 0:37:04or any artist with a UK number-one single.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Very best of luck.- OK.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Now, as ever, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Are you ready? - Yes.- Just about.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Right...- Well, we won the World Cup.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Who won the World Cup? England. That's too obvious.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Germany.- Portugal.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Portugal were good at playing football in 1966.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Elvis. The Beatles. - Elvis. The Beatles.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- The Troggs.- Oh, go on, then.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- The Troggs.- The Stones.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Elvis.- The Who.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Oh, Cockney Rebel. Were they in the- '60s? No.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Don't be silly.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Oh, I don't know.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Erm...I think the Troggs.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I liked The Troggs.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48The Troggs.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50The Animals.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51The Doors.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53What about the football?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55What about the Cabinet minister? Who was the Prime Minister?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Harold Wilson.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Reginald...- What about...?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01No, just hold on.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Reg... What's his name?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Maudsley? Reginald... - Oh, that sounds good.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Maudes something. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Oh, erm, erm... What about?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Oh, God, that Lib Dem chap.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- He was in the '60s. - He wasn't a Cabinet minister.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Oh, all right, then.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- OK, that's your time up.- Marvellous!
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Here's fun. What are you going to go for from those three?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- We're going to do a football one, shall we?- No!
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Oh, all right, then.- Number-one singles, what did you say?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33The Who?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- The Troggs.- The Troggs.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Yes.- And who else was it?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- The Who.- The Who.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43And Portugal.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45The Troggs, The Who and Portugal.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46And Portugal.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48OK, there we are. Three answers. Very well done.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50And, obviously, Portugal in...?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Portugal for the football.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55OK, lovely. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- I think probably The Troggs. - OK, The Troggs goes last.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Portugal, because it's probably wrong.- Portugal. OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03We'll put Portugal first.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order, then. And here they are.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11We've got Portugal, we've got The Who and we've got The Troggs.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Well, best of luck. Three answers on the board there.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16If one of those happens to be pointless,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19what would you do with your share of the jackpot, Lucy?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Well, erm...
0:39:21 > 0:39:25we'd probably just have another trip around Namibia, I expect.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27There are bits we haven't been to.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29We haven't been to the south that much.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And there's a place called Luderitz
0:39:31 > 0:39:33that I really, really want to go to see and we haven't been there yet.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38OK. Teri, anything you'd like to do different from that?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I quite like the idea of going to Australia,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44because I've never been yet. So that would sort of...
0:39:44 > 0:39:49I travel quite cheaply, so that would sort me for a month or two.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Very good. OK, well, best of luck. Three good answers.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55As I say, your first answer was Portugal. Let's see if that's right.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00And, in this case, we were looking for Fifa World Cup participants in the 1966 World Cup.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,250.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Let's see how many people said Portugal.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- It's right.- Good grief!- It's right.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12A little bit of a punt you were taking there.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14But so far Portugal is doing you proud.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Down it goes through the 30s into the 20s.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Into the teens.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21If it goes all the way down to zero... Oh, 10. Not bad.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23APPLAUSE
0:40:23 > 0:40:28Not at all bad for a guess and your first submission. So not bad at all.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Not pointless, though. You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Your second answer was The Who.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37In this case, we were looking for UK number ones from 1966.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Let's see if it's pointless for £1,250.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41How many people said The Who?
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Oh...!
0:40:46 > 0:40:50No number ones for The Who in 1966.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54So everything is now riding on your third and final answer, The Troggs.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Who came up with The Troggs? - Teri.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Teri likes The Troggs.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00She insisted on The Troggs going in.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Wouldn't it be nice if The Troggs were correct and pointless?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It would be a miracle.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Well, we were looking for UK number ones from 1966.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09If it's pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11How many people said The Troggs?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17It's right. Well, your first answer was right. That was Portugal.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Your second answer, The Who, was incorrect.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22We will draw a veil over that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25The Troggs, though, taking us down to single figures.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Still going down. Still going down.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30You've done it! Very well done indeed! Absolutely brilliant!
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Brilliant!
0:41:31 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:33 > 0:41:34You've won!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Thank you. - Very well done indeed.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:44The Troggs were the pointless answer.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Very, very well done indeed. Richard...- Yeah, very well done.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55With A Girl Like You was a number-one single in 1966.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57The Who never had a number-one single. Famously.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Never in any year, The Who. Unbelievably.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Now, let's look through the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Cabinet ministers...
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Anthony Crosland, Arthur Bottomley,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Douglas Jay, Earl of Longford.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Everybody, apart from Wilson, Callaghan, Jenkins, Barbara Castle,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Denis Healey, Tony Benn and George Brown.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Everybody else is a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Including Richard Crossman, whose diaries are well worth reading.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Only two pointless answers for the football question.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23So, very well done at home anyone who said Bulgaria or Chile.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Two very strong answers there.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27And artists with UK number-one singles.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Frank Sinatra had one with Strangers In The Night.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Nancy Sinatra had one with These Boots Are Made For Walking.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Jim Reeves, Distant Drums. There's The Troggs.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Also could've had The Four Tops with Reach Out I'll Be There.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39You could have had the Small Faces, The Spencer Davis Group,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames. Lots of pointless answers there.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47And congratulations to The Troggs and to you in the studio.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks again to our winning players, Lucy and Teri,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Very well done.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Well done, you.- Well done, you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
