0:00:17 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello! I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game is to
0:00:27 > 0:00:29avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40My name's Donna and this is my fiance Andy. We're both from Leeds.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two. - Hi, my name is Jen, this is Julie.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45We're friends from South Devon.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Ron. I'm from Chalfont in Buckinghamshire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51This is my grand daughter Iona, she's from Ipswich.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Jordan and this is my best mate Josh. We're from Milton Keynes.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Thank you very much, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Like one of those confused marathon runners,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13he is here to go the extra mile, my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Afternoon. Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Four brand-new pairs today. Doesn't happen often. It has happened today.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We've given away two jackpots in a row as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28So, can one of these pairs complete that hat-trick?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Difficult when they're all new to work out who's going to be good.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- I think Ron looks handy. Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Ron has turned up in a quizzer's jumper, I think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It is fair to say. Very hard to beat a quizzer's jumper.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Very hard.- We shall see.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- We'll have to get to know them, won't we?- We will.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- I wonder what treats await. - That's exciting. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, yes, Kerry and Stewart won our jackpot last time
0:01:52 > 0:01:54so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56There it is.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I'm just going to remind you all, as you are all newcomers,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09that the pair with highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13That's all you have to remember and there is to be no conferring, of course.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Our first category for Round One today is US Politics. US Politics.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Surnames of US presidents that come alphabetically between Bush
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- and Reagan. Richard.- Yeah, I need you to listen carefully here.
0:02:46 > 0:02:52What we are looking for is the surnames of US presidents, but
0:02:52 > 0:02:56they have to come alphabetically between Bush and Reagan.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Now, is anybody unclear? Ron, you OK?- Just about.- Excellent.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- If Ron's in, we're all in.- OK, thank you very much. Let's do it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- Dive in.- Let's dive in.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Come on, here we go, let the dog see the rabbit.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Donna, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. From Leeds?- Yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16What do you do?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I am an apprenticeship assessor for a retail company.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Are you strict?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'm fair.- That's nice. - Fair.- Fair, that's good.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- That's the nice side of strict, isn't it?- Yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Yes. It's a fair assessment, but you've got to be good.- Yes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Fair enough. What do you do in your spare time, Donna?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I volunteer for a charity, a children's charity, where we
0:03:38 > 0:03:41take different groups of children that wouldn't normally be
0:03:41 > 0:03:44allowed to or not normally able to go on holiday,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- on a camping trip in the summer. - Wow!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That's got to be fun, hasn't it? Quite challenging, I would imagine.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- It's hard work.- Yeah!- For the volunteers it's a full day of graft.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- But you must love it?- Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Do you get the same kids coming back year-on-year?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Yes, we get a lot of new kids, but because we take ages from eight to
0:04:02 > 0:04:0613, a lot of the kids that come at eight come back year after year.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- They absolutely love it.- That's great. You see them growing from year to year.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Fabulous. Now, Donna, US politics.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- Yes.- Are you happy about that?- No. - OK.- I know a handful.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23So I am going to go with Grant.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Grant says Donna. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28How many of our 100 people said Grant?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's a very good answer, look at that, eight.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43A great start to the round, Donna, well done.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46A great answer, Donna, very well played.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Andy very happy there as well. Ulysses S Grant.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Thanks very much indeed. Now, Julie.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. From South Devon?- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- What do you do?- I'm a falconer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00What about that?! What about that!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02What sort of falcons do you have?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06There's a collection of about 55 birds of prey, from a small
0:05:06 > 0:05:11American kestrel at 3.5 ounces up to a golden eagle at 6.5 pounds.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You've got a golden eagle?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Yes, at the centre.- Beautiful. - That sounded like in a restaurant.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Oh...- We got a kestrel,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21it's very small, it's about 3.5 ounces, that would be...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Wow! We've never had a falconer before. Amazing.- No, never.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Quiet nice to have a day without hearing the bell going, tinkle tinkle.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What do you do when you're not falconing?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Erm, well, I'm really lucky because my hobby is my job, but when I
0:05:35 > 0:05:39am not working, I spend quite a lot of time with my family and friends.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I like to challenge myself, so I've done an Arctic challenge.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Where did you go?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48We went just below the Arctic Circle, up in Sweden.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Up the Swedish side, up to Kiruna, did you go that far?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- We went to Ostersund.- Lovely.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Very good. Now, Julie, US politics.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- It wouldn't be my favourite subject, but I have got a few names.- Good.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I'm hoping. I'll go with Carter. - Carter.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Let's see if that's right, how many of our 100 people said it, Carter?
0:06:16 > 0:06:1839 for Carter.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Not bad.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yes, of course came just before Reagan,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and just after they teamed up in The Sweeney as well.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ron, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Ron, what do you do?- I'm retired. - What did you do?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40I worked in banking.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You worked in banking, in which department,
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- in retail banking or in banking banking?- Banking banking.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And what do you do now with your retirement?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I play golf, bridge, I like walking my dog across the fields.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- What sort of dog have you got? - A Labrador, black lab. Named Hamish.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06- Then there's restricted gardening. - Restricted gardening, what's that?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09My wife is convinced I don't know a plant from a weed.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13So my gardening consists of gardening to comply
0:07:13 > 0:07:15with my wife's directions.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Right. Yes. Does she inspect afterwards?
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- She points out beforehand where the no-go zones are.- Right, I see.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Very good. Now, Ron, US politics. What are you going to go for?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Monroe.- Monroe says Ron. See...
0:07:33 > 0:07:39You don't get a jumper like that, for old slapdash answers, do you?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42That's the thing, we spot these things, don't we?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Hm.- Just the little signifiers, sometimes we spot.- Clever. Monroe.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Monroe, assuming it's correct!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Obviously! Bit of jeopardy, Monroe, might be wrong.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Let's see, how many of our 100 said Monroe?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's absolutely right. 39 is our high score at this point. 8 our low.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03You have passed 39.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You join eight.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09There we are, Monroe, very well done.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Joint low score.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14James Monroe of course, the fifth president of the United States.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17"The era of good feelings" they called his administration.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- That's nice, "good feelings". - Yeah, "the era of good feelings".
0:08:21 > 0:08:25"The era of good feelings", that sounds ominous.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I have a good feeling. It's not the same as, I'm feeling good.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I have an entire era of good feelings about this.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Then it was the era of "it's all gone a bit too quiet for my liking".
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Then it was the era of "did anybody else hear that?"
0:08:41 > 0:08:42ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Thanks, Richard. Now, Josh, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Great to have you here from Milton Keynes.- Yep.- What you do?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I'm a junior designer. - You design juniors?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I design FOR juniors, like children's stationery and toys.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- How much fun is that?- It's all right, yeah. It's not too bad.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00You sound as though you don't enjoy it much.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- I've only just started.- Oh, I see. OK, early days.- Yeah, early days.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So what sort of...? Is it stationary items and...?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Yeah, we call it, "creative play",
0:09:08 > 0:09:11which means toys that help children learn.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- It's all colours and numbers and stuff like that.- That's fantastic.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Do you do syndicated things from cartoons and things?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah, lots of licences. Lots of licences.- That's quite fun.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Josh, when you're not doing that, what do you do?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I like to keep fit. Running, going to the gym, festivals...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I'm going to Glastonbury this year. - Very exciting.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Do you go religiously every year? - I've only been once.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I couldn't get tickets last year, so this year I lucked out.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36OK, now, Josh, what are you going to go for?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- I'm going to go with Ford.- Ford?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41"Ford", says Josh. Let's see if it's right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ford.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Oh, it's good. 19. APPLAUSE
0:09:54 > 0:09:5619 for Ford.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Well-played, Josh. Gerald Ford, of course, who preceded Carter.- Indeed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round, so let's look at those scores.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10We have joint low scorers. Well done, Donna. Well done, Ron.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes, Ron and Iona, Donna and Andy looking strong on 8,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14then up to 19 where we find Josh and Jordan,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17then up to 39, Julie and Jen.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So, Jen, you're not wildly out in front, but we need a low score
0:10:20 > 0:10:24to keep you in the game. Best of luck with that. We're going to come down the line now.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Now then, Jordan.- Yes.- Welcome. What do you do, Jordan?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- I do plumbing and heating. - Very good.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38What are your specialities in plumbing and heating?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Well, I work more the industrial, commercial side,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45so I do more biomass and gas.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I see. Oh, so things like pellets? Pellet things? Those sort of...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Yeah, woodchip pellets... - Woodchip, yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55They burn into a special biomass boiler, which then produces heat.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- It's very green. Green energy. - Very good indeed. Biomass boilers.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01And what are your interests outside biomass boilers?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- I like to run, as well, and I really like cooking, as well.- Excellent.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Do you have a signature dish, Jordan? - Probably be a carbonara. Lovely.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, that does sound good, actually. Thank you very much.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17So, you are on 19. The high-scorers on 39 are Jen and Julie.
0:11:17 > 0:11:1919 or less would get you through.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'm going to go with...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Nixon.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25"Nixon", says Jordan. Nixon. Here's your red line.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28If you can get below that with Nixon, you are through to the next round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30How many people said Nixon?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Ooh, not bad. 36. APPLAUSE
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I reckon that might keep you in the game. Takes your total up to 55.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Nixon, of course, the immediate predecessor of Ford,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48so we're working our way backwards.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The first US president to resign, as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Iona, a warm welcome to Pointless to you. What do you do, Iona?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm a student, but I'm graduating in August, so I've not got long left.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02That's exciting. Very exciting. And you've got stuff lined up for later?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I do. I have a job lined up, which is good.- What are you going to do?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Fashion PR.- Very good indeed. So what will that involve? Do you know?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Have you done some work with them yet?- I have. I worked for them over Christmas.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It's mostly liaising with the press to try
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and get your products into their pages and also to advertise.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- It's kind of marketing.- See, that's fun. That's going to be great fun.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Iona, you are on 8 points.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25The high-scorers at the moment are Jordan and Josh on 55,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28so 46 or less gets you through.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- I'm not great on this, but I'm going to go for Callaghan.- OK, Callaghan.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36"Callaghan", said Iona. There is your red line.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39You have to get below that with Callaghan. Let's see if it's right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Ooh, bad luck, Iona. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and it scores you 100 points.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49That takes your total up to 108.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51However, thanks to Ron's low score in the first pass,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54you could be all right. We'll see.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Sorry, Iona, it's a great answer for UK Prime Ministers
0:12:56 > 0:12:59who come alphabetically between Bush and Reagan,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01but not US presidents, I'm afraid.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Jen.- Hello.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Jen, hello and welcome. What do you do, Jen?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm a probation officer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- A probation officer down in Devon? - Indeed.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And what are your interests outside the work of probation officing?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, I have a little girl who's 20 months,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18so she takes up pretty much my entire life,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21but when I do have some time to myself, I like going to the cinema,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24listening to live music and I like cooking.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Very good indeed.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Can you up...? We've got a carbonara so far, any raise on a carbonara?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Um...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I can do a lamb Rogan josh.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Mm... That sounds good. Mm.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Mm. OK, so there you are, you're on 39.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The high-scorers at the moment are Iona and Ron on 108,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43so 68 or less will do you.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm going to go for Polk.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Polk - that's a good answer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Have you ever thought about a V neck jumper maybe, Jen?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- I could rock a V neck.- Yeah! Maybe in a sage colour or something.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I don't know. Anyway, there's your red line.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Get below that with Polk, and you are into the next round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Let's see how many of our 100 said Polk.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It does the job.
0:14:10 > 0:14:138 is our lowest score so far and Polk...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15passes that. Look at that, you halve it!
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Very well done indeed, Jen.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18That takes your total up to 43.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Great answer, Jen.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24James Polk was the 11th President of the United States.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27He was the youngest president ever at the time...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- but not any more.- Only nine. - He's over 220 years old now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- He's getting on a bit, Polk, isn't he?- Polky? Yep.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Yep, there we go. Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Now, Andy, welcome to Pointless. You are on 8,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43another great low score from Donna in the first pass.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44What do you do, Andy?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm an accountant in a dairy company.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49A dairy company. Is it just milk or do you have...?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51No, no. Milk, cheese, butter, yoghurts...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- All the dairy products.- All the dairy products.- That's fantastic.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- So, do you go home with a crate of dairy things every day?- I'd love to.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01At Christmas we get a nice Christmas hamper that's more dairy
0:15:01 > 0:15:03than anybody can eat in a year.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I suppose when you've spent the whole year amongst dairy products,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10maybe that's not necessarily what you want, I don't know.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13When was the last time they came up with a big new branch of dairy?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Cos cheese, yoghurt, butter... - They're all quite old, aren't they?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Been around a long time, haven't they?- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Any new developments in the world of dairy?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Protein's big. A lot of people like...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Protein used to be just waste, get rid of it, but people like whey
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- and muscle builders love... - That's true, actually. Whey.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- It's a huge thing, isn't it?- There's loads of whey jokes, as well.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- It used to be no whey. - LAUGHTER
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Then it was curds and whey.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Oh, I loved Curds & Whey. What a band.- Yeah.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- They were our Eurovision entry in 1971.- Yes!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Simon Curds is still around, actually.- Yeah, he is.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Cos they were married briefly, weren't they? Oh, it did not last.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Did not last. Big, volatile relationship, I think.- Very.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I blame Simon Curds, I have to say, but perhaps I'm wrong.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58He seems to have mellowed.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00He seems to have. Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Andy, you're on 8.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06You have to score 99 to get through. I think you have it in you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Donna's favourite TV programme has a school named after a president,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I believe, and that's McKinley.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19"McKinley", says Andy. McKinley.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Here's your red line - lovely and high.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Get below that with McKinley, you're into the next round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let's see how many people said McKinley.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It's right!
0:16:35 > 0:16:376. APPLAUSE
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Very well done. Wonderful low-scoring on this first podium.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Takes your total up to 14.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Yeah, very well-played. It's William McKinley High in Glee, of course, so that helped you out there.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51There's no pointless answers at all, I think because we're only looking for the surnames.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Funnily enough, the lower scoring ones are not the ones you'd expect.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56We always look for Millard Fillmore and people like that,
0:16:56 > 0:17:01but actually it's the ones with the very common everyday surnames
0:17:01 > 0:17:05that are the low scorers. 1 point for Hayes - Rutherford B Hayes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You'd have got 4 points for Jackson, Andrew Jackson,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Pierce, that's Franklin Pierce, and Polk's got 4 points,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14so you can see it was one of the best answers you possibly could have got on this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:175 points for Madison and Harding, 6 points for Garfield,
0:17:17 > 0:17:197 for Harrison and Fillmore.
0:17:19 > 0:17:238 for Cleveland, alongside the ones we've already had,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and the top three, let's take a look at them.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Well, at the end of our first round, the pair I'm afraid we are sending home, Iona and Ron.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44I'm sorry, Iona.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That wasn't your favourite subject, I'm guessing,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49but it was a good-spirited try though.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Callaghan would have been a great answer had it been Prime ministers, but it wasn't.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55We will see you next time. We look forward to that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Meantime, thanks very much, Iona and Ron.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58APPLAUSE
0:18:00 > 0:18:03But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10So now we're down to three pairs.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye
0:18:12 > 0:18:15to another of our pairs, in time for our head-to-head.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I've got gold stars to hand out to everyone.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Jen, gold star for Polk.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Very well done.- Thank you.- Lowest individual scorer of the round.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Gold stars for Donna and Andy for our lowest combined score,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30and gold stars to Jordan and Josh for just sticking around.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Good to have you here. Best of luck to all three players.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Our category for around two is:
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42please step up to the podium.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Directorial Debuts. Richard.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54On each board, we're going to show you a list of six film directors
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and the initials of the first full-length feature film
0:18:57 > 0:18:59for cinema release which they directed.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01You need to tell us the name of the film, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04There'll be six on each board, 12 in all so have a go at home. Very best of luck.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07So we're looking for the titles of the films with which these people
0:19:07 > 0:19:10made their directorial debuts. Here's our first board of six.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Now, Andy?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50I know two. It's just a case of choosing the lowest score.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I'll go with Guy Ritchie and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58"Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," says Andy. Let's see if it's right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Let's see how many people said it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02It is right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:0932. APPLAUSE
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- 32.- Well done, Andy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It's still a great film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Also, Jason Statham's acting debut. - Is it really?- Yeah.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- He's done pretty well for himself since then.- Yeah, hasn't he?
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Fantastic. Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Jen, we come to you.- Yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Well, I would have said Film was a good topic until I saw those.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I knew that one and I think I know one more for definite
0:20:36 > 0:20:39so I'll go with Richard Curtis and Love Actually.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42"Love Actually," says Jen. Let's see how many people said Love Actually.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46It's right.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Well, 32 is our only score at this point...
0:20:49 > 0:20:50and you passed it!
0:20:50 > 0:20:5325. Not bad at all. 25 for Love Actually.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55APPLAUSE
0:20:56 > 0:20:58They did actually release the single...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01You know the Billy Nighy character writes that Christmas song, Christmas Is All Around?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04They released it for real. It got to number 26.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Do you know, I did a charity gig the spring after that came out
0:21:08 > 0:21:13and Radiohead were playing on the bill, and Bill Nighy was on as well,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16and he came on at the end with Radiohead and sang that song.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Really?- They were great.- Wow, that's cool.- It was hilarious.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Brilliant. Anyway, there we go.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23So, Josh, you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Do you want to talk us through it all, fill in all the blanks?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I know two. I really wanted to say Love Actually
0:21:29 > 0:21:31cos that is Jordan's favourite film
0:21:31 > 0:21:34and we get him quite a bit for that, but I'm going...
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Well, Quentin Tarantino
0:21:35 > 0:21:37is Reservoir Dogs.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'm going to go with Chris Morris, which is Four Lions.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42"Four Lions", says Josh. Very good. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Let's see how many people said Four Lions.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Well, 32 is the high score.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53You pass it. 25...
0:21:53 > 0:21:54You pass it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:566 for Four Lions. APPLAUSE
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Excellent film, excellent score.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Another great film.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah, they're pretty good on that last podium, Josh and Jordan.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Very well played. You're right about Reservoir Dogs,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09as well, Tarantino.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Would have scored you 36 points.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15John Huston's, anybody know that?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- No.- The initials should give it away.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It's The Maltese Falcon - 2 points.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Baz Luhrmann's first?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Strictly Ballroom. - Strictly Ballroom.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2610 points. Also, of course, gave us the title of Strictly Come Dancing.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Indeed. Very good. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:22:31 > 0:22:336 - Josh and Jordan over on that far podium
0:22:33 > 0:22:34looking very strong at this point,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37then up to 25, where we find Jen and Julie,
0:22:37 > 0:22:4032 - Andy and Donna. Nothing wrong with that.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Not too far ahead but, Donna, we need a low score.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Best of luck. We're going to come down the line.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53OK, let's put six more directorial debuts on the board
0:22:53 > 0:22:55and here they come.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I'll read those one last time.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Jordan, if you can score 25 or less, you'll avoid
0:23:25 > 0:23:29even being our high-scorers after two answers.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I can't really see any at the moment.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34My mind has gone blank, but I'll have to take a guess.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Let me see.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'll go for Orson Welles...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Calvin Klein.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Calvin Klein. OK, well, let's see. Here's your red line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's... Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Let's see what happens with Calvin Klein.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54LAUGHTER
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Yup. Bad luck, Jordan. Tough board if you don't know them.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01100 points, I'm afraid, for Calvin Klein
0:24:01 > 0:24:04takes your total up to 106. You may have done enough.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Josh got you the lovely low score in the first pass,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08so it's not all over yet.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12And the only thing they used to take the mick out of you for was the fact you like Love Actually.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- I know, yeah. - Now fresh ammunition, right there.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Thanks, Rich. Now, Julie.
0:24:19 > 0:24:2180 or less gets you through.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I also have absolutely no idea...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh, Jordan and Josh pleased to hear that!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28..so I'm going to make it up, as well.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I'll go with Sam Mendes - Almost Black.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Almost Black, says Julie. Almost Black.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39It just has to be right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41That's the issue here. Is it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45No! Bad luck.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 125.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Coincidentally, that lovely fragrance, Calvin Klein's Almost Black,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- is now available in the shops. - LAUGHTER
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Thanks, Richard. Now, Donna,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03talk us through the board. There you are - a complete virginal board.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Well, it should be easy because I also don't know any of them, so...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Really?- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Do you want to just talk through the board as you can
0:25:12 > 0:25:14just in case anything just springs...?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, Orson Welles I think might be...
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Not quite sure.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The same for Spike Jonze, not quite sure.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Danny Boyle, Sam Mendes, Kevin Costner,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- again, I'm not entirely sure. - LAUGHTER
0:25:29 > 0:25:32But I'll go for Peter Jackson and say, Big Tony.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34LAUGHTER
0:25:34 > 0:25:38That wasn't a Peter Jackson film. Big Tony?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41That was one of the very best "Can you talk us through the boards,"
0:25:41 > 0:25:44we've ever had, I think.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Big Tony. Well... Um...
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Let's do this, shall we? There's your red line.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah. What happens now, I wonder?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yes, I'm afraid...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I'm afraid... Great news for Julie and Jen.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, Big Tony,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and takes your total up to 132.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh, bad luck, bad luck. Richard?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Well, that I believe is what they call, "a game of two halves".
0:26:11 > 0:26:12LAUGHTER
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, let's go through the board. Plenty to fill in here.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Orson Welles - Citizen Kane. 35 points for that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Do you know the Spike Jonze one?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Being John Malkovich. - Being John Malkovich, yes,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24would have scored you 3 points. Danny Boyle?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Shallow Grave.- Shallow Grave would have scored you 5. Sam Mendes?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- American Beauty.- American Beauty.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Another wonderful film. 13 points. Kevin Costner?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Dances With Wolves. - Dances With Wolves - 28.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Now, there is quite a tough one on the board.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38It's actually not the lowest scorer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Being John Malkovich is the lowest scorer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's Bad Taste.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Bad Taste would have scored you 5 points,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46so very well done if you got all of those.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Very well done if you got one of those, it turns out.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50LAUGHTER
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our second round...
0:26:52 > 0:26:54This could have gone really...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The Sword of Damocles was hanging over every one of you
0:26:57 > 0:26:59at some point during that last pass but,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Donna and Andy, I'm afraid it's you we have to say goodbye to,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04with your score of 132, but we look forward to seeing you next time.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Meantime, thanks so much, Donna and Andy.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08APPLAUSE
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Congratulations, Jordan and Josh, Jen and Julie.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24All the Js, look at that! You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:24 > 0:27:28and a chance to play for our jackpot which still stands at £1,000.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well, you know the deal at this point. You can now start playing as teams.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The first pair to win 2 points goes through to that final.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, we all made it through that last round
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and I know that's a massive relief to each of you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Three films I've never seen - Almost Black, Calvin Klein and...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Actually, no, I've seen the trailer for Big Tony,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47but I just never got round to seeing it full-length.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50But, yeah, I think this might be very close.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We've had some great answers from you individually so, yes,
0:27:53 > 0:27:54now you can put your wits together.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I think this should be very, very close.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00APPLAUSE
0:28:04 > 0:28:08OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Science Presenters, Richard.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15We're going to show you five pictures of people who've presented TV science shows.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Can you identify the most obscure of these?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21OK, let's reveal our five TV science presenters and here they are.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22We've got:
0:28:44 > 0:28:47There we are, five science presenters on TV.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Jordan and Josh, you've been our low scorers,
0:28:49 > 0:28:50so you get to go first.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- A is Brian Cox.- Yeah.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57C is Richard Hammond. D's from...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Shall we go Brian Cox?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05We're going to go for A - Brian Cox.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08OK, you're going to say, A - Brian Cox.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Jen and Julie, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Well, we know two of the others.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16B is Dara O Briain
0:29:16 > 0:29:18and C is Richard Hammond.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21We don't know D and E.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Of the two of them, we think that Dara O Briain will be less points
0:29:25 > 0:29:26than Richard Hammond,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- so we'll go for B - Dara O Briain. - OK, B - Dara O Briain.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35So, Jordan and Josh have said Brian Cox for A.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37HE SIGHS There's Brian boasting about
0:29:37 > 0:29:40that fish he caught again. Do you remember?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42OK, let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:5153 for Brian Cox. APPLAUSE
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Jen and Julie, meanwhile, have said Dara O Briain for B.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Let's see if that's right,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00and let's see how many people said Dara O Briain.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03It is right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very well done. Down you go to 47. APPLAUSE
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Which means, Jen and Julie, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17They presented together on Stargazing Live, which was a great show.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19C is Richard Hammond. It's a big scorer.
0:30:21 > 0:30:2467 points for that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Now, D is the best answer on the board.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It's my son's favourite TV show, MythBusters. It's brilliant.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I love MythBusters, and this is Adam Savage.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Very well done if you said that. 3 points.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40And E is Carl Sagan, who presented Cosmos, or "Cosmose",
0:30:40 > 0:30:42and he would have scored you 5 points.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So, here comes your second question.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Jordan and Josh, you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51It concerns...
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Mediterranean Islands, Richard?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59We'll show you five clues to facts about Mediterranean islands.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Can you name the island, please?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04OK, let's reveal our clues and here they are. We've got...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Jen and Julie will go first.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Do you want to go for Sicily or do you want to...?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:31:51 > 0:31:54OK, we think the large Greek island which was once the centre
0:31:54 > 0:31:56of the Minoan civilisation is Crete.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Crete, say Jen and Julie. Crete.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Now then, Jordan and Josh, that board's all yours.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Talk us through it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06The home of Pacha is Ibiza.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- I think the island, the boot on Italy is Sicily, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I'm not too sure about the other two. Which one do you think?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Shall we go for Ibiza cos we know it?- Yeah. We'll go for Ibiza.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, Ibiza, the home of the Pacha nightclub.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23OK, Jen and Julie said Crete, the home of the Minoan civilisation,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25the centre of the Minoan civilisation.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Let's see if that's right. Let's say how many people said Crete.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Not a bad answer. 35. APPLAUSE
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Jordan and Josh, meanwhile, have gone for Ibiza,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47the home of the Pacha nightclub.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Ibiza.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Ooh!
0:32:59 > 0:33:0241 for Ibiza. Not quite low enough,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04which means, after only two questions,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Jen and Julie, you are through to the final. Very well done.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Yeah, very well played. It's amazing to think somewhere like Pacha,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12which we think of as quite current... 1973 it was opened.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- I know!- Incredible, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17It's nearly as old as us.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Steady now!- Not quite as old as us. - Not quite.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23We've spent a few evenings in Pacha, haven't we, over the years?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Yeah.- Goodness me.- We've spent a few evenings in the Bonaparte Residence
0:33:26 > 0:33:29over the years, haven't we?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- That's where we'd always go after Pacha, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Pacha, first summer of love '87, we'd go there, wouldn't we?- Yeah.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Then at six in the morning, as the sun comes up,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- let's all head down to the Bonaparte Residence.- Down to Boney's, yeah!
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Always fun.- We'd have to get a boat because the Bonaparte Residence is on...
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Elba.- ..Corsica.- Oh, no!
0:33:46 > 0:33:4922 points for Corsica.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51The island commonly compared to a ball...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53You're right, it was Sicily.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55It wouldn't have done you any favours
0:33:55 > 0:33:57cos it's an even bigger scorer. It would have scored 66.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Do you know this last one, the Greek island?- No, I don't.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01It's Mykonos. Mykonos.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- It would have scored 12 points.- Wow.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06That's either VERY good going by our 100,
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- or VERY good going by Fleet Foxes. - A bit of both.- A bit of both maybe.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Yeah, very good. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I'm so sorry, our low scorers, Jordan and Josh, we say goodbye to you
0:34:18 > 0:34:20at this point, but you have played very well across this show.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I think we can expect great things from you next time.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25We look forward to that very much but, meantime, Jordan and Josh,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28thanks very much indeed. APPLAUSE
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Good luck.- Good luck.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32But for Jen and Julie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Well done, Jen! Well done, Julie. You've seen off all the competition
0:34:40 > 0:34:42and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Yay.- Yes!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, wonderful, great that you've done so well,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01and from the off we knew that it was looking good,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03some great answering from you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Very sorry to see you go, though. - Yeah, we're sad, aren't we?
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- We are, yeah.- You've only had one shot at it and apart from Jenny,
0:35:10 > 0:35:13you're the only falconer we've had on the show. Jenny's been on.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- Yes, there aren't that many. - No, no. Anyway, you're a great team.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Now, I think we've tested you pretty thoroughly.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23What would be the icing on the cake for this last round?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Well...- It would be Science and Nature for me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Believe it or not, Film, Music, Tennis, Geography...
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- History, possibly.- OK, well, there's a nice spread of things there.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Let's hope something comes up that you like the look of.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Here are the four things that you can choose from today.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46We've got:
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Do you want to go for it, then? - Yeah, why not?- OK.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- British Tennis Players, please. - British Tennis Players it is. Richard?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01British Tennis Players. I wish you the very best of luck.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03We are looking for any of the following:
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Any UK male Wimbledon doubles players from 2000 - 2014,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12so anyone who's been in the first round or beyond
0:36:12 > 0:36:13in the men's doubles.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Any UK female Wimbledon singles players
0:36:16 > 0:36:18in the same era, 2000 - 2014,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22and any UK female Wimbledon doubles players.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25So, any doubles players, male or female from 2000 - 2014,
0:36:25 > 0:36:29or any UK female Wimbledon singles players from 2000 - 2014.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- The very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38If one of those answers is pointless, you will win that jackpot.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Are you ready?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- I think so.- As we'll ever be.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49OK, so you've got Elena Baltacha, Heather Watson...
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Jamie Murray.- Jamie Murray, Jamie Delgado, I think is one.- Yeah.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Um...
0:36:54 > 0:36:58What's the young, pretty girl called?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Robinson something, something Robinson?- Yeah.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03I can't think of her first name. Um...
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Who else plays doubles? - I don't know anybody else.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Who does Jamie Murray play doubles with?- I'm just trying to think.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I was hoping it was opponents of.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- Heather Watson... Um...- Those are the only ones I would know.- Yeah.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- OK, I think... So we've got Jamie Delgado, Jamie Murray...- Yup.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Do you want to go for Elena Baltacha
0:37:32 > 0:37:34or Heather Watson?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Heather's still playing. - Ten seconds left.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Heath... Either.- OK. Yeah. All right.- Yeah.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- OK, I think we're done.- Yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK, sounds like you've got your answers.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48What are they? Your time's now up.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51OK, for UK male doubles players we'll go for Jamie Murray...
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Jamie Murray.- ..and Jamie Delgado. - And Jamie Delgado.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58And for female singles players, we'll go for...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- What do you want...? Elena Baltacha. - Elena Baltacha.- Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Well, if it's right, Jamie Delgado. - Jamie Delgado goes last.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Jamie Murray. - Jamie Murray goes first.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18and here we are.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21We have Jamie Murray, we have Elena Baltacha and we have Jamie Delgado.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Well, very well done. Good luck.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Normally, when people say there are things they want,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29they never come up, so British Tennis Players was close enough
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- to what you'd asked for.- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah, I think that's good.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Now let's say one of these wins you the jackpot,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37what would you spend it on, Jen?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Well, I think... We're in the middle of making over our house,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44so it would go very nicely towards some home improvements,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47which is very boring, but very necessary.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Very good indeed. Julie, how about you?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51We have a young eagle owl at the centre that has cataracts
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and she needs to have an operation to remove them,
0:38:54 > 0:38:55so I'd put my money towards that.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- Aw, very good. OK.- That, I'm going to say is a first.- Yeah.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01We've never had that, have we?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Eagle-owls, they're huge, aren't they?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Fairly big, yeah. - Quite mean-looking creatures.- Yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09OK, well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Jamie Murray.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13In this case we were looking for UK male Wimbledon doubles players.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16If this is pointless, you will win £1,000.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jamie Murray.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Well, it's right.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Down it goes through the 60s and the 50s.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30If it goes all the way down to 0, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32And down through the teens. Still going down.
0:39:32 > 0:39:3413 for Jamie Murray. Not bad.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Not bad at all.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Sadly not a pointless answer though,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44which means everything is now resting on your last two answers.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Elena Baltacha was your next answer.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51In this case we were looking for UK female Wimbledon singles players.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Again, it has to be pointless for you to win, so for £1,000,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56let's see how many people said Elena Baltacha.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Well, it's right! Jamie Murray took us all the way down to 13.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Elena Baltacha, now taking us down through the 20s
0:40:07 > 0:40:08and the teens,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10passes 13, into single figures and...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Ooh! 6.- Ooh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Well, you have ordered those beautifully, absolutely beautifully.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Down from 13 to 6 for Elena Baltacha.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Now, your third and final answer.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Everything now rides on Jamie Delgado.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32We're back in the UK male doubles players this time.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Let's see how many people said Jamie Delgado. Is it pointless?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It's right.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46That's exciting. You weren't sure if it was going to be right, but it is.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Jamie Murray took us down to 13.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Elena Baltacha down to 6.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51You've passed 13.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53You've passed 6. Down it goes, still going down!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You've done it! Very well done indeed! That's fantastic!
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Very well done indeed! Brilliant. - Thank you!- Thank you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Many congratulations. Jamie Delgado was a pointless answer.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13You can get a few things for the house
0:41:13 > 0:41:15and the eagle owl will see again.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17LAUGHTER This is great.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19You'll be going home with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Brilliant, Jen and Julie.- Yay! - APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Very well played indeed.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29You knew your stuff all the way through the show, from James Polk to Jamie Delgado.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Jamie Delgado's been in all 15 of those tournaments
0:41:32 > 0:41:35from 2000 to 2014. He's played the doubles every single time,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37been in the third round a couple of times.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44We will start with the male doubles players.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Alex Bogdanovic. There's Jamie Delgado.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Jonny Marray, who won it in 2012 is a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Miles MacLagan went on to coach Andy Murray and Laura Robson.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56In fact, everybody was a pointless answer there, apart from
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, James Ward, David Rice and Dan Evans.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Everybody else was a pointless answer, so well done if you said anything else.
