0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where obvious answers mean nothing,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hi, my name's Ian, this is my brother-in-law, Stuart,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and we are from Bristol. Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Anne, this is my husband, Steve, and we are from Bristol.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Joan, this is my daughter, Lorna,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51and we're originally from Shetland, but Lorna lives in Edinburgh.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Bethan, this is my best friend, Jonathan.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We currently live in Brighton, but we're originally from Wales.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Thanks very much, everyone. We'll get a chance to speak to you more throughout the show,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10His quest for knowledge never ends.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Just this week he's been learning the ropes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Jute, cotton, polyester, polypropylene and nylon.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE Afternoon, everybody.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Good day to you. And to you, sir.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We had to do some balancing out there
0:01:24 > 0:01:27because we've got two pairs from Bristol, and one from Brighton.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So we got Joan all the way down from the Shetlands.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Just to get that north-south balance.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I think Joan may have had the longest ever journey to
0:01:35 > 0:01:37join us in Pointless, I would have thought.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Quite hard to think of a longer journey than that. Yeah. Very impressive.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Actually, coming up from Brighton can take a while, can't it?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yes, the M23 can often... There is often tailbacks.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I would say it would be a bit unfair to send Joan home after the first
0:01:49 > 0:01:52round, after the trip she's had, that's all I'll say.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54If somebody would like to fall on their sword, I think
0:01:54 > 0:01:57that would be a classy thing to do. Two returning pairs, Stuart and Ian.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Ian gave us a pointless answer in the last show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And Stuart was one question away from a good answer.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04He gave us Marina Sharapova instead of Maria Sharapova.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09And they got knocked out because of it, so they've got something to prove, I suspect, on today's show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12On the final podium there, Jonathan and Bethan, who got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I will say, quite a low-quality head-to-head.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18A lot of it was to do with recognising a picture of Queen Elizabeth II,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21which I thought was self-evident, but apparently wasn't,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24according to many... She's on the stamps and everything.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's not hard to recognise her. Oh, THAT'S who she is! Yes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I knew I'd seen her. Yeah. I thought she was in The Wire, but no, you're right,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32she's on the stamps. LAUGHTER
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So an interesting first round today, with lots of pictures in it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39OK, that's fun. Now then, Lucy and Terry won the jackpot last time,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42so today's jackpot starts off at ?1,000.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43There it is, on the board.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Brilliant. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49APPLAUSE
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Now, for the benefit of our newcomers, I'm just going to remind
0:02:54 > 0:02:58you that the highest scorers at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The highest-scoring pair. And also there is to be no conferring,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03but that, of course, is self-evident.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Our first category today is...
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Famous People. Can you decide, in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK, and our first question concerns...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26There we are. Celebrities In Sunglasses, Richard.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30We are going to show you 15 pictures now of celebrities...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32in sunglasses. That's great.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Clever. That's where I got the title from.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You just need to tell us who they are, please. Thank you, Richard.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38OK, we're going to show an image now.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41That image will contain 15 celebrities in sunglasses.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45That image will remain up throughout the round, we won't be changing it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You just have to name one of the people on that board. OK, here is the image.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52There you go. There you go.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57So, Stuart, welcome back to Pointless. Thank you.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Oh, very unfortunate last time, second-round exit. Mm-hm.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Early bath for Stuart. Certainly was. Yeah, Marina. I know.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Only a letter out. Yeah! Anyway, listen, who knows what would have happened
0:04:09 > 0:04:12if you'd gone through to the head-to-head?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Stuart, remind us what you do. I work for Highways England.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17For Highways England, devising traffic systems.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yeah, doing research into new technologies to put out onto
0:04:21 > 0:04:24the roadside. Anything exciting coming up we can look forward to?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Doing a lot of work on connected vehicles, and getting
0:04:26 > 0:04:29messages into the vehicles, rather than being on the roadside.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh, that's clever. Through the sat navs?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yeah, through the sat navs. Real-time messaging.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Real-time messages are quite often quite out of date, aren't they? Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Because it'll say "something in the road", and there's nothing in the road. Exactly.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And then you've slowed down to 20, and then suddenly it says "end". You think, "What was all that about?"
0:04:45 > 0:04:50So these are the things you're working on. I'm delighted to know that you're on that, Stuart.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Now, the celebrities in sunglasses.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Have you found a nice, obscure one there?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yeah. I think so.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Jean Reno.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Jean Reno. Jean Reno, says Stuart.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Look at that, 3!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20APPLAUSE
0:05:20 > 0:05:223 for "Gene" or "Zhon" Reno.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Very good start. Jean Reno, there he is, in the middle row.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Second from the right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32He's thought of as French, he's not actually, his real name is Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jimenez.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37He was born in Morocco. Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Anne, welcome.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What do you do? I'm a freelance writer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44So, a journalist does that mean, or a copywriter...? Not exactly.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I write for clients online, online magazines or hard-copy magazines.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I see. Any particular subjects you cover?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I write anything, really,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55but I concentrate mostly on women's interests.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57But I've also written a few books, and one of them
0:05:57 > 0:06:01is about growing up in South America, which is where I'm from.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05So where did you grow up? In Guyana, South America. Very good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And what are your interests when you're not hard at work writing?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I like DIY and gardening.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16OK, now, sunglasses and celebrities behind them.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Who would you like to unmask?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Er, I recognise a few of them.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think I'll go for Sean Penn.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Sean Penn, says Anne. Good, good answer, I'd say.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Let's see how many of our 100 said Sean Penn.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Well, Jean Reno scored 3,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Sean Penn scores 28.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41APPLAUSE
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Well played, Anne, very solid answer.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47There he is, in the middle of the bottom row.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars five times. Really?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Won it twice as well.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Won it twice. Thank you, Richard. Joan, a very warm welcome.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Here from the Shetland Isles. I am.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And what keeps you occupied up there in the Shetland Islands, Joan?
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Well, teaching KEPT me occupied, but I'm retired. What did you teach?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I taught all the primary ages,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12and I did teach geography at one point, many, many years ago.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Wonderful. And what do you like doing now, Joan? Travelling.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Cruising. Ah! But the Shetland Isles themselves are so beautiful,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I hope you spend a good proportion of the year up at home.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24At the moment, not a lot of time at home, but
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I do stay there sometimes!
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Very good. Where is your favourite place you've cruised to so far?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I've cruised across the Pacific, so I would say places like Pitcairn
0:07:36 > 0:07:41and Easter Island were just wonderful to visit. Wonderful.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44OK, now, Joan, celebrities in sunglasses.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Are you happy with our selection?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Very, but not very sure of some of them,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and I doubt it's going to have to be an obvious one.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57So I'm going to have to go for Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell, says Joan.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Simon Cowell.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07APPLAUSE
0:08:07 > 0:08:0874.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yes, Simon Cowell, there he is on the top row.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16He actually posted a picture on Twitter with his son, Eric,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20and they're both wearing the same shades. Both wearing aviator shades.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Bethan.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Last time you soared through to the head-to-head,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and then the wheels came flying off, I have to say.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They weren't our questions, were they? But we gave it our best.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36No, you did. You did very well, exemplary answering up till then.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Remind us what you do, Bethan.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm a project support officer in an NHS Trust in Brighton.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45So the corporate side of the NHS. And your hobbies outside the NHS?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I watch a lot of horror movies. Why particularly horror movies?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Do you just like being scared? I like to be scared.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I don't know why, I kind of like the adrenaline rush. Do you have a particular...
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Is there one horror movie that you think is head and shoulders above the rest?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Severed head and shoulders. The Exorcist, obviously.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I just think The Exorcist... Even to this day it terrifies me.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05My dad put a veto on The Exorcist for so long.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09And then one day I managed to sneak it, and I wish I hadn't. It didn't disappoint.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Was that the first one you saw? No, it wasn't, actually. He was like,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17"That one, that film, even when you're 18, I think you shouldn't watch it," but...
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It is scary. Right, now, I hope this is slightly less scary for you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23OK. I recognise one, and I'm like
0:09:23 > 0:09:2680% sure it's him, and I don't know
0:09:26 > 0:09:28whether I should take...a punt.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Do it. Will you trust me to do that? Yeah.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, I'm going to go for the fifth one. I think it's Lenny Kravitz.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Lenny Kravitz, says Bethan.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's see if it's worth taking that punt,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40let's see how many people said Lenny Kravitz. Is it right?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43It's right. Yes!
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Look at that, 1!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52APPLAUSE
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Best score of the round, Bethan.
0:09:54 > 0:09:561 for Lenny Kravitz.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Brilliant answer, Bethan. There he is on the top row, on the far right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Do you know who... He's so attractive, how do people not know who he is?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I know, right? Although, with respect, Bethan,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09you had trouble recognising Queen Elizabeth II.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11LAUGHTER
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm not going to say anything! Thank you, Richard.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Bethan, well done, you, 1. The lowest score of the round so far.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Superb. Bookended by good scores we are. Stuart, there you are on 3.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Then we travel up to 28, where we find Anne and Steve.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Then up to 74, Joan and Lorna.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Have you got a nice obscure one?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Well, let's hope you get that.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Let's hope it's right and it keeps you in the game. We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Now then, Jonathan. Now then, Jonathan.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49We learned last time that you are in your final year of studying nursing.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Yep. How much longer have you got to go, is it just months or...weeks? A few months, yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So I'm about to start a management placement and run the ward
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and be the boss. But after that, the world's my oyster. Very exciting.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Do you know where you want... Will you stay around Brighton, Sussex?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I'm a bit tied down at the moment.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I've got my cats and... You've got your cats! What are your cats called?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14We've got Elvis Purrsley. Good. Leonardo DiCatrio. Oh, this is really good.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18And we've got Mr Darcy. It's a bit random. It is a bit annoying, isn't it, for him?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21He's really handsome, that's the justification. OK.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Now, if you can score 72 or less, you're in the next round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25I know quite a few.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29One would be an absolute gamble
0:11:29 > 0:11:32because it might be a man who I think it is, or it might be...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I'm going to play quite safe and say Zac Efron.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Zac Efron, says Jonathan. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Get below that with Zac Efron and you're in the next round.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48And you're through.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Hey, look at that, 1!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56APPLAUSE
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You are on fire on podium four!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Look at that, a total of 2. Superb.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yes, that was playing it safe, Jonathan.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'd quite like to know the people who didn't know Zac Efron! Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Well, again, I've got to refer you to the previous show, Jonathan.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11LAUGHTER
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Sorry about that. You were equally culpable. Oh, indeed.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Now, Lorna, welcome, warm welcome to you, here from Edinburgh.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yes. I'm from Shetland, but I live in Edinburgh at the moment.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now, you call it Shetland. It's the Shetland Islands.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28The Shetland Islands. Or Shetland, but it's not the Shetlands.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Oh, this is a minefield. Not the Shetlands. Not the Shetlands.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Did I say the Shetlands at some point? Yes. Yes.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38LAUGHTER
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Is that a thing? Yes. In Shetland, on Shetland,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44people get really cross if people say "the Shetlands"? Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So the Shetland Islands, or Shetland. Or Shetland.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I'm so sorry, we must apologise. We will try and remember. But when it's a thing you have to remember,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've already forgotten which was the thing I had to remember.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm going to call it the Shetland Islands. That's lovely.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01We're fine with that. Lorna, what do you do... Well, you're in Edinburgh.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I am, and I work as a nursery nurse,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06but I also am doing my master's at the moment. In nursing or...
0:13:06 > 0:13:10No, nursery nursing, as in preschool education. Oh, I see, OK.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And what is your master's in? My master's is in
0:13:12 > 0:13:15children and adolescents' mental health
0:13:15 > 0:13:16and psychological policy.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19OK. Wow, that's a mouthful. It's a mouthful.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22How long have you been doing it? It's a year course,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26but I've just got my dissertation left to do. Good stuff. Now, you had your fingers crossed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It looked like you had a really good low-scoring...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Are you going to tell me you were going to go for Zac Efron?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33No, I was going... There were two they said, I knew them both.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37So I think I know them all, but one I'm not quite sure about...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I bet I know which one it is. Yeah. So I think I'm going to go for
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Laurence Fishburne.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45OK, Laurence Fishburne, says Lorna. Let's see if that's right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47No red line for you, you're the high-scorers,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50but how many people said Laurence Fishburne?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Good answer.
0:13:57 > 0:14:0019. APPLAUSE
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It'll do. Takes your score to 93.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Given yourself a chance there, Lorna, well done.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08He was in Apocalypse Now, Laurence Fishburne. He was 14 years old,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12though, and he convinced Francis Ford Coppola he was 18. Good going.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15That is good going, at 14, to pretend to be an 18-year-old.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Mind you, he's an actor. There you are. There you are.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Thank you very much.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Now, Steve, welcome to the show, Steve, from Bristol. Thank you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26What do you do, Steve? I'm a university lecturer, Alexander.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And what is your...your discipline? Sociology. Sociology.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And have you been at Bristol for a long time?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I don't actually work at the university there, but I've lived in Bristol for 11 years.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Oh, I see, so where do you work? The Open University.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Ah. Which can be anywhere. It can be. Everywhere and nowhere.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's anywhere and everywhere. Yeah, and nowhere as well.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Well, that's fun.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So these are online lectures, or do people come for courses...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's online lectures,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54and then there's regional tutors to help people do follow-up work.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59OK, right. Now, Steve... Yes. ..celebrities in sunglasses.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Yes. Sadly, the ones that I'd thought of have gone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07So I'm going to have to go for Whoopi Goldberg.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Whoopi Goldberg, says Steve.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Here is your red line, it will be nice and high...ish.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Let's see how many people said Whoopi Goldberg.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Well done, you're through.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Ooh, just, look at that, 55.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26APPLAUSE
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Takes your total up to 83, sees you comfortably through.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yeah, before she was famous, she had a number of jobs,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36including bricklayer and mortuary make-up artist.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Ooh. Yeah. Mm. How about that?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Mortuary make-up artist. And I'm sure she used to be a nun, didn't she?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Something in my head... LAUGHTER
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Bricklayer. Some people living in a house made by Whoopi Goldberg.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Interesting. There's that joke, isn't there, that she should marry Peter Cushing?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54She'd be Whoopi Cushing. LAUGHTER
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Or she should marry Gerard Depardieu and be Whoopi Doopie-do.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Ian. Now, if you can score 89 points
0:16:03 > 0:16:06or less, you are comfortably into the next round.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Now, Ian, remind us what you do.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12I work for a fencing company, where I survey fences in people's gardens
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and things like that. When you're not doing the fencing.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I play skittles, a lot of skittles. A lot of skittles.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah, yeah, two or three times a week,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and we go away for tournaments and things like that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Indoor skittles?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Indoor skittles, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we play a lot in Bath
0:16:26 > 0:16:30and we go down South West for tournaments and things like that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Wow! Do you ever go to ten-pin bowling and go, "Oh, it's so big!"?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's a different ball game. Well, literally it is. How extraordinary.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Skittles. Good, now, as I say, you need to score 89 points or less.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Do you fancy talking through all the names on the board that you can see?
0:16:47 > 0:16:52I can name quite a few. Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Bono.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I think that's Jane Fonda.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58That's Andy Murray's coach. I can't remember her name.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00That left-hand one with the blue hair, no idea.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06You've got Elton John and Cher, so I'll go for...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Bono, please.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Nice obscure one there, OK! Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13If you can get below that with Bono you're through.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15How many people said Bono?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's right and you've done it. Well done.
0:17:20 > 0:17:2159.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23APPLAUSE
0:17:23 > 0:17:2662 is your total.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29And left me very little to do in terms of filling them in as well, cos you got almost all of those.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So, Jack Nicholson up there would have scored you 70.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Tom Cruise also would have scored you 70.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37We've heard the scores for everyone else on top there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39You're right, it is Jane Fonda on the second row.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41She would have scored you 30.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And it is, you can see in the sunglasses there, you can
0:17:44 > 0:17:46see a little bit of tennis.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Oh, yeah. That's Amelie Mauresmo, Andy Murray's coach.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Would have scored you 5 points.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Katy Perry, bottom left in the blue wig. She would have scored you 22.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Elton John would have scored you 77.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02And Cher, the bottom right-hand corner, 9 points.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04She'd have been a terrific answer. Yeah, surprising, isn't it?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07There we go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09So, at the end of our first round, I'm so sorry -
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Richard said it mustn't happen, I was SURE it mustn't happen,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15but Lorna and Joan, we are sending you away.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18But only for a bit. We can't wait to see you next time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19But thanks very much for playing.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Meantime, Lorna and Joan, lovely contestants.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24APPLAUSE
0:18:24 > 0:18:27But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And so now we are down to three pairs.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37At the end of this round we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Stuart and Ian, we have to see you into the head-to-head.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Great answering there, Stuart, with Jean Reno, "Gene Reeno". Very, very well spotted.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48But I have to say special commendations
0:18:48 > 0:18:50reserved for Jonathan and Bethan on the far podium.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Not only our joint individual low-scorers,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54but our joint team low-scorers as well.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Also the best two answers on the board.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The best two answers on the board? There was nothing pointless at all,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02so you literally couldn't have scored lower in that round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Anne and Steve, welcome. Lovely to have you here.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Good, solid answering from you. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Our category for Round Two today...
0:19:10 > 0:19:11is Medicine.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Medicine. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16who's going to go second?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Richard. On each board we're going to show you six clues to people or
0:19:33 > 0:19:35things that have advanced medicine.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40You need to give us the most obscure answer. Not the sort of round you'd want to do badly on, say,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43if you were in the final year of a nursing qualification, Jonathan...
0:19:43 > 0:19:44LAUGHTER
0:19:44 > 0:19:47..but no pressure. It's just like your finals, isn't it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so best of luck.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53So here is the first board of six clues to medical advances
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and we've got...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51So, Stuart... Yes. ..how are we feeling about this board?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Not great, to be honest.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Are we feeling it's arrivederci or are we feeling...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00We're feeling we know a few of them, but nothing really obscure,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I don't think. OK.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I think I'll go for...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08the bottom one,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10which I think is hypodermic syringe.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Hypodermic syringe, says Stuart. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16let's see how many people said it. Hypodermic syringe...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21..is right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:2438.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26APPLAUSE
0:21:26 > 0:21:2938 for hypodermic syringe.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Solid answer on podium one.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Yeah, hypodermic literally means just beneath the skin.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38There we are. Thanks very much indeed. Now, Anne. Anne.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I only know a couple of them
0:21:42 > 0:21:46so I'm going to for vaccination.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50You're going to go for? Vaccination. The third one. Vaccination.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52OK, the introduction of micro-organisms to the body.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Vaccination. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01It's absolutely right. 38 is our only score so far.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0357. You now have our highest score.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06APPLAUSE
0:22:06 > 0:22:09There's a school of thought that says there's only one disease
0:22:09 > 0:22:12that's ever been totally eradicated from the earth by vaccination
0:22:12 > 0:22:13and that's smallpox.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Yes, thank you very much indeed. Now then, Bethan. This board's all yours.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Do you want to talk us through it
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and then select the one you want to submit?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I kind of thought I'd made a mess of this.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I should have gone second, but I'm going to go for the top one
0:22:28 > 0:22:29if that's all right? Yes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32The technique that changes the shape of the cornea and eliminates
0:22:32 > 0:22:35the need for spectacles, I believe that is laser eye surgery.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Laser eye surgery. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39let's see how many people said it.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's right.
0:22:44 > 0:22:4657 is our high score and you've passed it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:4838 is our low score and you pass it. Well done.
0:22:48 > 0:22:5235, once again the lowest score of the pass, Bethan.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Well played, Bethan.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Pretty tight between the three podiums there, isn't it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Now, there's a big scorer, the second one down, which is...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Liposuction. ..liposuction.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Would have scored 77 points.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07The one second from bottom is... Ventilator. ..ventilator.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09And that would have scored you 63,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12but the best answer is the botanist. Do you know that one?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16He was an Augustinian friar. It's not Giorgio Moroder, obviously. It is not Giorgio Moroder.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19It's not George Michael. Oh, it's not George Michael either? No.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23That's annoying. It is Gregor Mendel. Ah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Would have scored you 9 points. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Thanks very much indeed. OK, let's look at the scores.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30We're halfway through the round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Again, Bethan with the lowest score, well done, on 35.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Bethan and Jonathan looking pretty strong at this point
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but they are quite close scores this time.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Then to 38, where we find Stuart and Ian. Then 57, Anne and Steve,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44so, Steve, let's hope there's a nice low-scoring one on the next board
0:23:44 > 0:23:45that you know.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54OK, let's put six more medical advances on the board
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and here they are.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I'll read those all one last time.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59There we go. Sorry that took so long.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Jonathan, this is just a busman's holiday for you, isn't it?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Yeah, I was hoping I would know them and thankfully I do know all six.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It's kind of hard for me to really know, cos I know them,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13but what other people don't know. Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17So I'm going to go for the third one down
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and say a defibrillator. Defibrillator.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Defibrillator says Jonathan.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Here's your red line. If you can get below that,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26you are definitely in the head-to-head for a second time.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Let's see how many people said defibrillator.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's right.
0:25:33 > 0:25:3549.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37APPLAUSE
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Not bad. Takes your total up to 84.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43It's a difficult dilemma, that, for Jonathan,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45when it really is an area that you know a lot about,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47is working out what other people don't know.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Quite a high score for that. Thanks very much. Now, Steve, Steve.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55There you are on 57. The high-scorers now on 84
0:25:55 > 0:25:56are Jonathan and Bethan.
0:25:56 > 0:25:5826 or less we need from you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK, well, I'm going to go for the bottom one
0:26:03 > 0:26:05and I'm going to say penicillin.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Penicillin says Steve.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Here's your red line, quite lowish.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Let's see if you can get below that with penicillin.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's right.
0:26:18 > 0:26:2058.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Very close to Anne's score in the first pass.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Takes your total up to 115.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Yeah, discovered by Alexander Fleming, of course.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Thanks, Richard. Now then, Ian.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Ian, we have a game on our hands.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You have to score 76 or less.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39OK. Do you want to talk us through that board? Yeah, I'll try.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41First one I think is pacemaker.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I think the second one's aspirin.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The third one I think is local anaesthetic,
0:26:46 > 0:26:51but I'm not sure about the fourth one, so I'm going to go for...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55..aspirin, common name for the painkiller.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Aspirin. OK, here comes your red line.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Let's see if you can get below that with aspirin.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03It's right
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and you've done it. Very well done.
0:27:05 > 0:27:0863 for aspirin but that's good enough.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Takes your total up to 101.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yeah, all of those would have seen you through.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Let's take a look at the scores.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16It is a pacemaker.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Would have scored 52.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Local anaesthetic actually, quite a low score, at 37,
0:27:22 > 0:27:23for local anaesthetic.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Do you know this last one?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I'm trying to think.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30No, hormone's in the clue. Um...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yeah, you think hormone is going to be the first letter.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Jonathan, do you know that one?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Is it home pregnancy test?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It is a home pregnancy test.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Brilliant. Very well done.
0:27:38 > 0:27:4212 points. Well done if you got that at home, if you know what I mean.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44LAUGHTER
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:27:49 > 0:27:52with our high score of 115, I'm sorry to say it's Steve and Anne.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you at this stage,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Steve and Anne, thanks very much for playing.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02APPLAUSE
0:28:02 > 0:28:05But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Congratulations, Jonathan and Bethan, Stuart and Ian.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You're now one step closer to the final
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at ?1,000.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Well, you know the deal here. Certainly Jonathan and Bethan do.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You work as a pair from here on in. You can confer.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The first pair to win two points gets through to the final
0:28:29 > 0:28:30and plays for that jackpot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Well, Jonathan and Bethan, you were in this position last time
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and you went out 2-0. Mm-hm.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39So, Stuart and Ian, anything can happen at this point.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Nice to see you in the head-to-head as well. Very, very well done.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Richly deserved. I think this is going to be very, very close.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52APPLAUSE
0:28:54 > 0:28:57OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:01 > 0:29:03British Sitcom Titles, Richard.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I'm going to show the titles of five British sitcoms, alongside the year they were first aired,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10but they are in the form of anagrams, I'm afraid.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13You have to unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41There we go.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Jonathan and Bethan, you've been our lowest-scoring pair so far,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46so you will go first.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52THEY WHISPER
0:29:52 > 0:29:56So we're going to try the third one down and say My Family.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01My Family. My Family say Jonathan and Bethan. Now, Stuart and Ian.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03We knew that one. Yeah!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Top one's the only one we know.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08The top one is the only other one we know. Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11OK, so we have My Family, we have Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Jonathan and Bethan said My Family.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19It's right.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24APPLAUSE
0:30:24 > 0:30:2520.
0:30:29 > 0:30:3220. Stuart and Ian went for Only Fools And Horses, there, at the top.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It is right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Ooh, it's...33.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46APPLAUSE 33.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Closer than I thought it was going to be
0:30:47 > 0:30:50but well done, Jonathan and Bethan. I didn't know any.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Three very famous shows left on the board here as well.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Pig Order.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Is Porridge. It is Porridge.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It looks like it should be obvious, doesn't it? But it's not.
0:31:01 > 0:31:0414 points for that. Fowl Test Awry.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Voted the best British TV series... Oh! ..of all time...
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Yup. ..by the BFI.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Fawlty Towers. Fawlty Towers. There we are.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Would have scored 38.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Now, Sixth Hog In Pen.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's got an X in it, that should make it easier. It should.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's a famous show... with a famous star.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24That's the first really huge show for Peter Kay.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Oh. Phoenix Nights.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Phoenix Nights. Yup.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30And if you said that, you just got yourself a pointless answer,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32so very well done. Very good. Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So, here comes your second question, Stuart and Ian.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Remember, you have to win this one to stay in the game
0:31:37 > 0:31:38but you get to answer it first,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42so there's a little advantage to you there. Let's hope. It concerns...
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Not that much of an advantage, obviously. Richard.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Yes. Simply five clues to facts about basketball.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I'll read those all again.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Stuart and Ian will go first.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48(We could guess the seconds. I mean, it could be...could be two.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52(I think it's more than that. Well, say three. Yeah, or three. Yeah.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54(And the film... Oh, I don't know.)
0:32:54 > 0:32:56"A closely guarded player must pass,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59"shoot or dribble the ball within this many seconds."
0:32:59 > 0:33:02We think it's three. It's a guess.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04OK, we're going to go for three seconds.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Three seconds. Now, Jonathan and Bethan, the board's all yours.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Right, so, we only know two.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11What was yours?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Well, I think the 7'1" basketballer
0:33:14 > 0:33:17might be Shaquille O'Neal...
0:33:17 > 0:33:18but I'm not willing to guess.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21And if the one I think I know is right, I owe a massive thank you
0:33:21 > 0:33:24to my sister for asking me to get this for Christmas.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It took me so long to find it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I think it's the 2005 film, based on a true story,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31being Coach Carter.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Coach Carter.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35That's... Yep. Is that the one you want to go for? Yes. Yes, please.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38So, we've got "three" and we've got "Coach Carter".
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Stuart and Ian said "three seconds".
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Not three seconds.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Not three seconds, which means,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50now, Jonathan and Bethan,
0:33:50 > 0:33:51you merely have to be right with this
0:33:51 > 0:33:54but you've really taken a massive risk here. Coach Carter.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Has to be right.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59If it is, you go straight through to the final.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Let's see how many people said Coach Carter.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07It is right! Ooh!
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Ha-ha, well done, you.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Down it goes. Still going down.
0:34:12 > 0:34:133. Brilliant answer!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15APPLAUSE
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Well done to Jonathan's sister.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19And it means, after only two questions,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22you're through to the final 2-0.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24That's the way to win a Pointless head-to-head, isn't it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Very well done.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's a tough board, this, actually, it really is.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30The top one is the only high-scorer, really.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33The country is the USA. USA. Yup.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34That would have scored you 32.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The closely guarded player must pass, shoot or dribble
0:34:37 > 0:34:38within FIVE seconds.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Would have scored you 12 points.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42The 7'1" basketballer is not Shaquille O'Neal.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It's not?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46It's Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain.
0:34:47 > 0:34:491 point for that.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52And it's ten minutes for each of the four quarters.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54That would have scored you 4 points.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Look at that. 4, 1, 3, 12.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58A very tough board. A low-scoring board.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Stuart and Ian, you made it this far,
0:35:04 > 0:35:05but then I'm afraid...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Yeah, they were tough questions for you, those ones.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09We have to say goodbye at this point,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12but thanks so much for playing. Stuart and Ian. Thank you. Thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15APPLAUSE
0:35:15 > 0:35:20But for Jonathan and Bethan it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Well, congratulations, Jonathan and Bethan.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27You've seen off all the competition.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29You have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38It's what we came for. Yep. Perfect.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Well, you now have a chance to have a go at winning our Pointless jackpot
0:35:41 > 0:35:44and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at ?1,000.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45There it is.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Well, now, you've been our lowest scorers in Round One and Round Two.
0:35:48 > 0:35:502-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Now, normally, statistically,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I'm saying, that heralds a jackpot win -
0:35:55 > 0:35:58but, obviously, that depends on you getting a category
0:35:58 > 0:35:59you like the look of.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02What would you like to see? What would be a good...? Music...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Yeah, I'm really into music, so... ..films, celebrities.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Maybe geography. Maybe geography
0:36:07 > 0:36:09but it depends what it is.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11OK, well, as you know, you get to choose your category
0:36:11 > 0:36:13from the four we put up on the board.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Let's hope there's something you like the look of up here today.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Well, we've got...
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Irish actors, do you think? That's probably the lesser of all evils.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Yeah, they're all pretty evil
0:36:29 > 0:36:32but I'll go for Irish actors!
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Irish actors it is.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Yeah, we're looking for any feature film made for cinema,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38released prior to February 2015,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40that starred any of the following, please.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51So, any films according to IMDB,
0:36:51 > 0:36:53prior to February 2015,
0:36:53 > 0:36:57that starred any of those three actors. Very best of luck.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59OK, now, as always, you've got up to a minute
0:36:59 > 0:37:01to come up with three answers.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:02 > 0:37:05is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Yep. Have to be. 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Your time starts now.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13So, I don't really know who Brendan Gleeson is, or Gabriel Byrne.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Jonathan Rhys Meyers, he was in...
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Bend It Like Beckham. ..Bend It Like Beckham,
0:37:17 > 0:37:20and the Tudor film, but... That's a TV show. Yeah.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Any rom-coms, can you think of?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Not starring him.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Brendan Gleeson.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I was hoping Daniel Day Lewis would come up, I know a lot about him.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Oh, I can't...
0:37:33 > 0:37:35He wasn't in Notting Hill. He wasn't in...
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Brendan Gleeson, I just don't even know.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Gabriel Byrne, don't know who that is.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45This is really not great, is it?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Horrible.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Bend It Like Beckham is the only thing I can think of. Me too.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57This is... Yeah, this is the hardest thing we could have got, I think.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59None of those was in Notting Hill.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Ten seconds left. He's young.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05We'll just...just have to say random things, won't we?
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Yep.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Give it our best shot. Yeah!
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Your time is now up. I'm sorry.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14That's all right! They were three tough categories.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Really hard. What three answers do you want to give me?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19We'll guess with Notting Hill, even though we know it's not.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Notting Hill. Let's think.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Music And Lyrics. Music And Lyrics.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26And the only one we think we know, Bend It Like Beckham.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Bend It Like Beckham. Bend It Like Beckham.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Will you say which category these are?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Jonathan Rhys Meyers. All three? All three.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34We don't know who the other two are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37OK, and most likely to be pointless?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Bend It Like Beckham. Bend It Like Beckham goes last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Music And Lyrics. Music And Lyrics. OK, we'll put that first.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board, and here they are.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Well, very best of luck. Who knows?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Maybe you might have fluked it through and maybe he appears...
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Maybe, to other people, the other two actors are more famous.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I just don't know. Maybe there's a pointless answer up there,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05you never know. You never know.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08If there were to be, Jonathan, what would you do with your prize money?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Go on holiday, definitely. We deserve it, don't we?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13We'd definitely go on holiday together. NHS works us too hard.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Anything else you'd like, Bethan? I don't think so.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I think I'm in dire need of a holiday.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Dire need of a holiday. Yeah. Well, fingers crossed.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Let's hope, by some fluke,
0:39:21 > 0:39:22one of those is pointless.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Music And Lyrics was your first answer,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27your least confident shot at the Pointless jackpot... Yep.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29..but let's find out, for ?1,000...
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Jonathan Rhys Meyers, was he in Music And Lyrics,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33how many people said it?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Oh, I'm sorry. We knew that. Yep.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I'm sorry, he's not in Music And Lyrics.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43You have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Your second answer was Notting Hill.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47He could be in that. Maybe.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Maybe he snuck in, little bit part.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of ?1,000.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Let's see how many people thought Jonathan Rhys Meyers
0:39:54 > 0:39:56was in Notting Hill.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Nope.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03OK. We've cleared those two ones out the way, this is the serious one.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06This is the one you know is absolutely right. Yeah.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Your third and final answer.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Your best shot at a pointless answer was Bend It Like Beckham.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Jonathan Rhys Meyers - was he in it, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16For ?1,000. Is it pointless?
0:40:19 > 0:40:20It's right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Well, sadly, Music And Lyrics
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and Notting Hill were both incorrect
0:40:24 > 0:40:27but Bend It Like Beckham's taking us down through the 20s.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Into the teens. Will we go to single figures? Yes, we will.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Still going down, down to...4!
0:40:31 > 0:40:32AUDIENCE: Aww!
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Not bad.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40That's a great score, normally... Yeah.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42..but I'm afraid, sadly, no pointless answer there
0:40:42 > 0:40:44so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of ?1,000.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47That will roll over onto the next show,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49but a very strong performance across both shows...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Thank you. ..so you can be very proud of your...
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Thank you. ..Pointless careers.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56And you each get a Pointless trophy to take home as well, so, well done.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Thank you. Yeah, very proud. Thanks, Jonathan and Bethan.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01APPLAUSE
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yeah, most of the good answers, the big answers,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06are in Brendan Gleeson and Gabriel Byrne.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08If you don't know either of them, you would recognise both -
0:41:08 > 0:41:11if you don't, some brilliant films, absolutely sensational actors.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Well worth checking out some of the films we're about to see.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16We'll start with Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21He played George Osborne in Vanity Fair.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Not that one, but he did play George Osborne.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26The only answers for his that weren't pointless
0:41:26 > 0:41:29were Bend It Like Beckham, Michael Collins, Match Point -
0:41:29 > 0:41:32which you were in, I think - Velvet Goldmine and Mission: Impossible 3.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Every other film was a pointless answer. Well done if you said any.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38We'll move on to the brilliant Brendan Gleeson.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43I love that film.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46He's in loads of films. Beowulf, Far And Away, Cold Mountain,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One was a pointless answer.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51The ones that did score points were...
0:41:51 > 0:41:52In Bruges was the biggest answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54The Guard, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, Calvary,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Kingdom Of Heaven, Michael Collins, The General and Braveheart.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02All of those scored points, everything else was pointless.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06And Gabriel Byrne, some big performances here as well.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Excalibur, he played Uther Pendragon.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Gothic, he's Lord Byram.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Miller's Crossing is a pointless answer, unbelievable.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15That's a brilliant film and he's unbelievably good in it as well.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17The Man In The Iron Mask, he was D'Artagnan.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19The ones that scored points for Gabriel Byrne
0:42:19 > 0:42:21were The Usual Suspects,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24End Of Days, The Assassin,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Little Women and Stigmata and Ghost Ship -
0:42:27 > 0:42:30but the biggest scorer The Usual Suspects,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32as you'd expect, by a mile.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Tough luck in the studio.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The second you go home and google either of those gentlemen,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40you'll know exactly who they are, I promise you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46We have to say goodbye to you, Jonathan and Bethan, but it's been such fun having you on both shows.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Really strong performance, as I say, you can be very proud of that.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks so much for playing, Jonathan and Bethan.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Sadly Jonathan and Bethan didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02when we will be playing for ?2,000.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14APPLAUSE
