0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 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
0:00:27 > 0:00:28is to score as FEW points as you can,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hello, I'm Tom. This is my friend and colleague Louise,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42and we're from Belfast.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Couple number two.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Stan. This is my daughter, Katy. We're from Stoke-on-Trent.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm David. This is my brother, Kevin. And we're from Kent.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Jane. This is my friend, Catherine, and we're from Suffolk.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much indeed. These are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Thanks, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll find out more about you throughout the show as we go along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Warning, he may contain spoilers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And, by spoilers, I mean answers - it's my Pointless friend,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- it's Richard. - Hiya. Hi, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon.- How are ya? - I'm really well.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Excellent. We've got two returning pairs from the last show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I think both pairs were quite unlucky to get knocked out.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29On podium two we've Stan and Katy, who got knocked out in Round One
0:01:29 > 0:01:32with an unlucky wrong answer from Katy on Michael Jackson.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And on podium one, Louise and Tom - and Tom did unbelievably.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We had a football thing - Tom went through both boards absolutely perfectly.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42So I think they are both going to be very strong pairs.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I don't want to upset our newcomers, but they'll both be very strong.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46And in terms of the jackpot...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Well, we gave it away five times in a row...- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52..but in the last two shows we haven't had a single correct answer in that round.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- It's six consecutive wrong answers. - Wrong answers, yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Thanks very much indeed.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Now, Laura and Danny, as you'll have gathered
0:01:58 > 0:02:01didn't win the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000...
0:02:01 > 0:02:05So today's jackpot starts off, if you please, at £3,000.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Now, just remember - the pair with a highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22That's the only rule.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Best of luck to you all, our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:28 > 0:02:29It's Books.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33who's going to go second?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Richard.- On each board we're going to show you seven novels
0:02:49 > 0:02:50which have animals in their titles,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53but we've removed the name of the animal.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Can you fill in the gaps, please? Very best of luck.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Seven on the first board, seven on the second.
0:02:58 > 0:02:5914 in all to have a go at at home.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02OK. It's a bit like pin the tail on the donkey - you've just got to
0:03:02 > 0:03:05pin the animal back onto the name of the novel.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Let's take a look at our first board of seven.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10HE READS ALOUD
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Louise, welcome back.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Thank you.- You had a tough time!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- You KNEW the answer.- I did.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Not THE answer - there were several choices, obviously...- Yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- You could've got Thierry Henry. - Yeah.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And my husband's an Arsenal fan, so I don't think I can go back home.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56LAUGHTER
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Do you know, you can't.- No!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Some sort of rapprochement will have to be negotiated, yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Remind us what you do, Louise.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- I work in the Ulster Museum. - In Belfast.- In Belfast, yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11And we discovered last time you've got dinosaurs...
0:04:11 > 0:04:15All kinds of wonderful things. And what's the oldest thing?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- You've got an Egyptian mummy? - We have an Egyptian mummy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Probably our montosaurus dinosaur.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- A montosaurus?- Yes, it's our only full skeleton that we have.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I've never even heard... I've heard of Montessori, but not montosaurus.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Yeah.- Wow.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Now, then, Louise, are you happier with books, generally?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Generally, but I'm not sure about this board.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- But not these, specifically.- Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Some of the more obscure ones I'm not happy about...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I've learnt my lesson from the last time.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I'm just going to go with something I know -
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and go for The Hound Of The Baskervilles.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51The Hound Of The Baskervilles, says Louise. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Hound.
0:04:58 > 0:05:0088!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- That's a high score, there. - It is!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But you might, tactically, have done something very useful.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10You might've taken the only one that other people knew. So there we are.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yeah, a huge score, isn't it? 88 for The Hound Of The Baskervilles.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm not sure what lesson you learned,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18but it'd be nice to come back a third time and learn another lesson.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I tell you that lesson was worth 12 points to you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Very good. Now, Katy, welcome back.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Katy was Round One, last time.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- I was, I'm afraid. Yes. - Ohhhh...!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Now, Katy, remind us what you do.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I work as a site administrator for a national construction company.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So you are on the construction site. Are you the only female on this site?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I am literally the only female on site.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- And you have been for eight years. - Er, yes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Eight years in construction.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Do they behave a lot better, or do YOU now behave a lot worse?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, I'm tucked away in my own little cabin,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52so I can hear a lot of conversations down the corridor which can be interesting,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54but I've grown used to it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57And when you are not doing that, Katy, what do you like to do?
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Mainly sports-related.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01My friends think I'm a bit of a man at heart, to be honest,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04because my weekends are mainly scheduled around sporting fixtures.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08So, football, darts, Formula One, boxing...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11OK, so this round on books is just like a gift for you?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Not really, no.- Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Literature is one thing I was hoping WOULDN'T come up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- OK.- So, looking at the board, there's only one I know,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and I'll go for Roald Dahl, Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Fantastic Mr Fox, says Katy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Let's see if that's right. How many of our 100 said Fox?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31It's right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36APPLAUSE
0:06:36 > 0:06:3866 for Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Yeah, another big score - better than 88.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43From 1970, Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48OK, now, David. Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What do you do, David?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm an account manager for a medical devices company.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So we provide equipment to the NHS,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and my job is to make sure it runs smoothly.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Very good. What are your hobbies?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm a pianist and a violinist. So I do like to play.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06And I play rugby for my local town club.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Very good. Pianist and violinist?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09So you kept up your piano and violin.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11How long have you played each of those?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I think I started when I was about four - four or five.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So, I really do love to play.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Yes. Good for you. OK, now, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24To be fair, the only two I was 100% certain of have already gone.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26But I will go for...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Jeffrey Deaver and The Stone Lion.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The Stone Lion. Is that a guess?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Or is that somewhere in the back of your mind...?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Somewhere in the back of my mind, but it's probably more of a guess.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38OK, The Stone Lion, says David.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's see if he is right, and how many of our 100 people said Lion.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Bad luck, David. Not The Stone Lion.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50That scores you 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Sorry, David. Not The Stone Lion. Good name for a pub, though -
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- The Stone Lion, wouldn't it be? - Yeah...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Now, Jane, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Good to have you here. And what do you do, Jane?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'm a parish clerk to two different parishes,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and I also work part-time for a charity.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, a parish clerk is on a parish council, or on a parochial church council...?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Parish council.- Parish council.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I see, and how is that? Being clerk to TWO parishes?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- That is like being in the world of Dibley.- Is it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17HE CHUCKLES
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I bet, yeah. Can you tell one lot of people -
0:08:19 > 0:08:22one lot of council members - about what happens on the other council?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Can you spill the beans between the two councils?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Yeah, to some extent.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28They are quite close together,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31so we do share certain training courses and things like that.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- And a clerk, indeed!- And the clerk.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And your interests outside the parish, so to speak?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I like to walk.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41We have a dog, so we walk quite a long way every day.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I like to read, theatre...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Very good, indeed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Now, Jane. This is your board.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48If you want to talk us through it and fill in all those blanks, you can,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51before telling us which one you want to go for.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53OK. Well, I know three.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55So the Douglas Adams one is
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02And the bottom one is The Cuckoo's Calling.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But I'm going to go for So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish, says Jane.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Now, 66 is our lowest score - you've passed that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:21There we go.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Very well done, Jane.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I think you chose very well, there.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well played, Jane. Great answer, great book, as well.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30You'd have got more points if you'd gone for Wolf Hall.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32It is the correct answer - Hilary Mantel.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33That would've scared you 43.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37You'd have got far fewer points, though, if you had gone for
0:09:37 > 0:09:38The Cuckoo's Calling -
0:09:38 > 0:09:40JK Rowling's crime writer pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Cuckoo's Calling would've scored you nine points.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It would've been a terrific answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46And now these final two...
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It is not The Stone Lion,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and you'd go a long time before you guessed this one -
0:09:50 > 0:09:53it's The Stone Monkey.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Stone Monkey - Jeffrey Deaver would've scored you six.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57And up the top there,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00it is Black Swan Rising by Lee Carroll - eight points for that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So, Stone Monkey, unsurprisingly, the best answer on that board.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Thanks, Richard. Halfway through the round, the scores...
0:10:07 > 0:10:0827 the best score of that pass, Jane.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Very well done, indeed.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Then up to 66 with Katy and Stan.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Then 88 to Louise and Tom.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Not the highest scorers, Louise -
0:10:15 > 0:10:17looking good - because our highest scorers are
0:10:17 > 0:10:19David and Kevin on 100.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21You're not way ahead there, so, Kevin, a nice low score
0:10:21 > 0:10:23in the next pass could keep you in the game.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25We're coming back down the line, now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Second players, please, to the podium.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, let's put seven more novels up on the board with animals missing,
0:10:33 > 0:10:34and here they are.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36HE READS ALOUD
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Now, then. Catherine. A warm welcome to Pointless, Catherine.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10What do you do?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I'm a PA to the MD of a manufacturing company in Suffolk.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- How long have you done that for? - This particular job, for 13 years.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Fun. You enjoy it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I do.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Oh, a bit of a pause there!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I think you DO enjoy it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I DO enjoy it.- Good.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'm delighted to hear it. What do you do when you are not PA-ing?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34I volunteer at the local hospice at the weekend.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Helping out on the wards,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39taking some of the jobs off the nursing staff to give them time
0:11:39 > 0:11:42to do what they really should be doing.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Which is quite rewarding.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Good for you. Good for you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Now, you've been put in a very strong position by Jane in that first pass.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51You're on 27 and the highest scorer is on 100,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53so 72 or less gets you through.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm quite glad that I'm here on this position
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and not where Jane was, because I didn't know as many as she does.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I really like it when people say that.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The most common thing people say is, "Oh, last board, I knew ALL of them!"
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- No...!- Including all the really low-scoring ones.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10"But I don't know any of these."
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I am ashamed to say, really, I only know two on there.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15And I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Which is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20The Dog, says Catherine.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Here's your red line. Get below that with The Dog,
0:12:23 > 0:12:24you're into the next round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Let's see how many of our 100% said The Dog.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Very well done, through you go. Nice and easy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36APPLAUSE
0:12:36 > 0:12:3876 is your total.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Well played, Catherine.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And now a multi-award-winning stage play, as well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Very good. Have you seen it? Yes, you have, haven't you?- Mm.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- It's terrific.- Mm.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49All right, now, then, Kevin.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Now, then, Kevin, what we absolutely need from you is a low score here.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54What do you do, Kevin?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I tender security contracts for certain people around the world,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and once we get the contracts, I manage them for a month or so
0:13:00 > 0:13:04until they get up and running and then move onto the next one.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Very good. And what do you do when you're not doing that?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08So, I'm a bit of a sports nut.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Did mixed martial arts for about seven, eight years.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Kind of getting out of it now, too many injuries.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17But I've decided to go for an even worse sport - crossfit -
0:13:17 > 0:13:19which is even probably worse on your body.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Crossfit?- Yeah. - Wha... Tell me about crossfit.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Crossfit is the most you can do
0:13:23 > 0:13:25for a certain amount of time.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28As fit as you can get before you get cross.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yeah, pretty much. Or you pass out - either one.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32To be honest, after you lose a few
0:13:32 > 0:13:33you start getting bored of it, as well.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36And I'm not the best loser, to be honest with you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Dave will back me up on that one. - True.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK, so fun. Nice high score there!
0:13:40 > 0:13:41LAUGHTER
0:13:41 > 0:13:45OK, so, Kevin, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Roll on the 200 club, because I have no idea about anything.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Literature was my worst.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I was going to say Dog for The Dog And His Boy,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but I can't imagine there's going to be two Dogs.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57So I'm going to go for The Parrot And His Boy by CS Lewis.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01OK, no red line for you, obviously, because you are the highest scorers,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03but let's see The Parrot And His Boy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Aw...!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Never mind, never mind.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You've won in many ways, because you predicted that score. That's good.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But, I'm afraid, yes, an incorrect answer scores you 200.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Also, if you're going to make up an animal, that's an impressive one.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- The parrot.- Yes, it's an attractive animal.- It is.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The monkey one, as well. So I thought I'd go down that line.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Why not?- Fair enough.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Now, Stan, welcome back.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31And remind us what you do, Stan.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'm a Street Scene Neighbourhood Manager for a local council.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Fabulous. But you've got a whole park at your disposal.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38I've got several parks, yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Now, when you're doing your park, working out what to plant...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I always think, if you're doing a park,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46it's a bit like doing a fireworks display...in very slow motion.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It is, yeah. You want bright colours in a park.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52You don't want nice pastel shades that mix into nothing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You want sharp reds and whites so they stand out,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56so people can see them from a distance.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Presumably, as one thing's dying down, another's coming up.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- You want to keep that going all the way through.- Yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03We've bedding we do twice a year.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Herbaceous borders, shrubberies - we all maintain that, and a lot of grass to cut.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Wonderful. Now, the good news is it doesn't matter what you score
0:15:09 > 0:15:11you're still through to the next round.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14So you've already done twice as well as you did last time.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17But, Stan, there's that board. What would you like to go for?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I think I know three of them.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the lowest one I possibly know,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25it's, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Electric Sheep says Stan. No red line, you are already through.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31How many people said Sheep?
0:15:38 > 0:15:4128 for Sheep.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Taking your total up to 94.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well played, Stan. Yes, the novel
0:15:46 > 0:15:49that Blade Runner, the film, is based on. Loosely based on.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Tom, welcome back.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Yes, as Richard said earlier, that was tough, you going out on that
0:15:57 > 0:16:00last round, because you knew pretty much every answer on both boards.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02We did know we'd struggle
0:16:02 > 0:16:05on football because it's not really Louise's best subject.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well, Louise has left you in pretty good stead here,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09again you're through to the next round, which is great news.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11But, Tom, remind us what you do.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I work for National Museums of Northern Ireland,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15all the different sites.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So how did you get into that? Were you an archaeologist
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- by training or...?- No,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21many moons ago I worked for a different museum, I got
0:16:21 > 0:16:26into that and it led me through, into the organisation I'm in now.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I've been there for 18 years.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32The first 13 as a guide, giving tours, and now I deal with policies,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- procedures, stuff behind the scenes. - So you've gone up from...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Sideways!- Do you remember the information from your guiding days? - Not at all.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Wsssht! It's all gone? - No, it's gone.- That's a shame.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44If we could remember everything - actually you do,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- you remember everything. - Yeah, I remember some bits.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Now then, Tom, as I say, you are already through but, do you fancy
0:16:50 > 0:16:53talking us through that board and filling in as many as you can?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Well, I do know two of those that are left for sure.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58The Pelican Brief by John Grisham
0:16:58 > 0:17:00and Along Came A Spider by James Patterson.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02But as we are through,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03I'll have a guess.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'll go for The Trumpet Of The Elephant.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The Trumpet Of The Elephant by EB White.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Let's see if that's right, no red line, you are already through.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Let's see how many people said Elephant. Let's see if it's right.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Ohhhh! Not The Trumpet Of The Elephant. Scores you 100 points,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23takes your total up to 188, but you're through.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Worth a guess, Tom. I know people at home will be split into two camps as
0:17:26 > 0:17:29there's only two animals really that trumpet - the elephant and swan.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31So lots of people would have said Elephant,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- but the answer is actually Swan. The Trumpet Of The Swan.- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Five points, that would have been a terrific answer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40The Pelican Brief, you were right about. 67.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- The CS Lewis novel?- The Horse.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44The Horse And His Boy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4620.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Along Came A Spider, you're right about that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:5048.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Do you know this last one?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53It's the best answer on the board.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- No.- We could be sitting here for a very, very long time before someone
0:17:58 > 0:18:01guessed it. If you know it at home, very well done.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04If you guessed it at home, then it's unbelievably well done because
0:18:04 > 0:18:07it is Love And The Platypus.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12One point, very well done if you got it. Love And The Platypus.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:18:16 > 0:18:19with their high score of 200, I'm afraid to say it is Kevin and David.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm sorry, we didn't give you a chance to shine at all there,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25as you said, books weren't your speciality.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27However, we will see you again next time
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Meantime, thanks very much, Kevin and David.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Right, for the remaining three pairs it is now time for Round Two.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So now we're down to three pairs,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Congratulations, Jane, lowest score of that round with The Fish.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Superb answer.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Louise and Tom were our highest scorers of the remaining pairs,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57but you would have gone for a lower score if you had had to,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01wouldn't you, Tom? Stan and Katy, well done, you're in Round Two.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04All looking good. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10US Geography.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31US States On The Edge Of America.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Richard.- We're going to show you a map and we have highlighted every
0:19:34 > 0:19:36single state that's on the edge of mainland America.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Just need to give us the name of one of the states you see highlighted, please.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41OK, as Richard just mentioned, we are
0:19:41 > 0:19:44going to put up an image showing all those edge states,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47obviously that image will stay up the whole way through the round.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You just have to name one of those states. Here is the image...
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- There we go.- It is the white ones. - Exactly, not the purple ones!
0:19:57 > 0:19:58LAUGHTER
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Although the purple ones look nice. OK, there we go. Now, Tom.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03This is a good round.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I can't tell if Tom is joking or not.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07THEY LAUGH
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I think I'll go for Alabama.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Alabama, says Tom. OK.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Let's see if Alabama is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It is right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Oh, Tom, very well done indeed, look at that, five.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Never puts a foot wrong!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Five.- Well played, Tom, good start. There it is,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37just down there at the bottom right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's only just on the edge of America.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It has very little coastline.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yep, thanks, Rich.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Now, Katy.- Yeah...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm going to go for Washington.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53You're going to go for Washington.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56OK, let's see if that's right, and how many people said Washington.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It is right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:0526.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's interesting, that thing of Washington, it's one of the
0:21:10 > 0:21:13anomalies in Pointless, it always scores more than it should do.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It's not that well-known a state.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- There it is up in the top left-hand corner.- Yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21But everybody that thinks Washington DC, the city, is a state
0:21:21 > 0:21:22says Washington as well.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Obviously it gets put in the pot with Washington, so always
0:21:25 > 0:21:27scores more than it deserves, weirdly.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Yeah, Washington getting ideas above its station there. Now, Catherine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34What would you like to go for?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, this isn't one of the topics I would have chosen, but I think
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I'll have a go at something on the East Coast and go for Rhode Island.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Rhode Island, says Catherine, let's see if that's right
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and how many people said Rhode Island.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53It's right. 26 is our high school, 5 is our low.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55You've passed the high,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57you've passed the low! Rhode Island.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Four. Great scoring there.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well played, Catherine, great answer.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06There it is, tiny little state there on the East Coast, Rhode Island.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- Awwww!- Aw!- That's nice.- Tiny little thing.- Aw! Thanks, Richard.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, before we go back down the line, let's see what those scores are.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Four the best score of that pass, Catherine,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19very well done indeed to you. Then up to five, Tom and Louise.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Then up to 26, Katy and Stan.
0:22:21 > 0:22:2326, who'd have thought that would be such a high score!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25But, Stan, it IS such a high score.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29We need more Rhode Island type things, so good luck with that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31We'll come back down the line now,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39OK, now, Jane, our lowest scorer in the first round.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42How are you feeling about this as a category?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45It's probably one of my worst subjects,
0:22:45 > 0:22:50but I'm going to follow Catherine's lead and go for Vermont.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Vermont, says Jane.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Let's see. There is your red line.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57If you can get below that red line with Vermont,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01How many people said it, is it right?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It is right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Very well done, Jane.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Look at that! Two.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12APPLAUSE
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Lowest score of the round so far, again, Jane.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Taking your total up to six.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I suspect probably the lowest total in the round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Another great answer, very well played.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The state capital of Vermont, which is Montpelier,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25is the smallest state capital of all.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- It's got fewer than 8,000 inhabitants.- Aw!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- It's like a little village. - Aw, little village!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Stan. You are the high scorers.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36We need a low score from you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I think I'll stick with the small states on the East Coast.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'll go for New Hampshire.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44New Hampshire says Stan, no red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said New Hampshire.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51It's right.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01It's another good answer, well done, Stan. Takes your total to 36.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03That's a good score, but I tell you what,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05in this round it looks like a high score, doesn't it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Terrific work. The state vegetable of New Hampshire
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- is the white potato. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Now then, Louise, this is the moment of truth.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Oh... You are on five, we have to see 30 or less from you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- I don't want to let Tom down again. - You must not let Tom down.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26There's a couple of obvious ones, but I'm going to leave
0:24:26 > 0:24:32the obvious ones out and I'm going to try Arkansas.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Arkansas, says Louise. Arkansas. OK.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I'm looking for a sort of nod or something from Tom,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42but I'm not getting anything so far. That's a poker face, look at that.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43A face of granite there.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47There is your red line, you have to get below that with Arkansas.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Let's see if it's right, how many people said it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Oh, no!- Oh, Louise!
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Ohhhh.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Oh, Louise, I'm sorry.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer and scores you 100 points.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It takes your total up to 105.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03I'm sorry.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Louise, I'm so sorry, Arkansas is one of those purple states.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Now, let's take a look at the low scorers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11There is a pointless answer out there, amazingly, and it is...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Indiana.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Indiana. Awful lot of states for two points.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Two points for Connecticut...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Michigan,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Delaware...
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Virginia.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30And Minnesota.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32And Idaho.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Four for Maryland.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Pennsylvania.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You would have got five for Ohio.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Seven for Montana,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Mississippi
0:25:47 > 0:25:49and Illinois.

0:26:14 > 0:26:1914 for Oregon and Arizona.
0:26:19 > 0:26:2024 for New York.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25And the top three, Texas - 40,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Florida - 40
0:26:27 > 0:26:29and California - 42.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:35 > 0:26:38with a high score of 105, I'm sorry,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Louise and Tom, it is you. I am so sorry.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43It has been great having you on both shows
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and I still feel we haven't seen the very best of you.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Although we had a lovely low score from Tom...
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Louise, I'm not looking at you in particular, but thank you so much for coming to play.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's been great having you here, Louise and Tom.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:27:02For the remaining two pairs it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Congratulations, Jane and Catherine, Stan and Katy.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:12 > 0:27:16and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well, you know the score at this point,
0:27:20 > 0:27:21you can start playing as teams.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You've all done very well. I mean, Jane and Catherine,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30astonishingly well, your first appearance on the show.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33You've seen off all of our returning pairs, apart from Stan and Katy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You have been our lowest scorers each round.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Stan and Katy, well done because you left in Round One last time
0:27:39 > 0:27:42and here you are in the head-to-head. Very, very exciting.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It should be very close.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58Now, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Famous Qs, Richard.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We're going to show you five clues now to people
0:28:02 > 0:28:04whose first name or surname begins with a Q.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10OK, so let's reveal our five clues to Qs.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Here they are. We've got...
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I'll read those one last time.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50There we are. Now, Jane and Catherine,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53you have been our low scorers throughout the show,
0:28:53 > 0:28:54so you will go first.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55(I only know two.)
0:28:55 > 0:28:58THEY WHISPER
0:29:00 > 0:29:03OK, we only know two. So we're going to go for the top one -
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Dorothy in Men Behaving Badly -
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Caroline Quentin.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Caroline Quentin say Jane and Catherine.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Now, Stan and Katy, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Yeah, go ahead.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17The third one down, I think, is Zachary Quinto.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19The fourth one is Mary Quant.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21The bottom one is Quincy Jones.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I'm not sure about the second one meself.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Yeah, we'll go with Zachary Quinto.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28OK, Stan and Katy say Zachary Quinto.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30So we have Caroline Quentin and Zachary Quinto.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33In the order they were given, Caroline Quentin,
0:29:33 > 0:29:34let's see if that's right.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Let's see how many people said it for Jane and Catherine.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41It is right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:4547.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Stan and Katy meanwhile have gone for Zachary Quinto.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57It is right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Well done, Zachary Quinto.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Down it goes.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It's actually lower, 21 for Zachary Quinto,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08which means, Stan and Katy, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Nice answer, Stan, well played. The other two you knew.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Mary Quant would have scored you 50.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19And Quincy Jones would have scored you 26.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23The best answer on the board is that second one down.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Very well done at home if you said Dennis Quaid.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Dennis Quaid, he would have scored you 19 points.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Jane and Catherine, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It concerns...
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Chinese Five-spice Ingredients.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47I'm going to show you the names of some spices commonly found in the mix Chinese five-spice.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- We've removed alternate letters, though. Can you fill in those gaps, please?- Brilliant.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55OK, let's reveal our spices, and here they are.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Spices with spaces.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06I'll read those one last time.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Stan and Katy, you will go first this time.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I don't think so.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23THEY CONFER
0:31:23 > 0:31:25We'll go for the second one, star anise.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Star anise say Stan and Katy. Star anise.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30Now, Jane and Catherine,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32do you want to talk us through that board?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Well, I think we can have a go at all of them.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36I think the top one is cinnamon.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Star anise, fennel...
0:31:38 > 0:31:41cloves, but I think the one that we're going to go for,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45if I can pronounce it properly, is Szechuan peppercorns.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Szechuan peppercorns.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48So we have star anise and we have Szechuan peppercorns.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51So, Stan and Katy said star anise. Let's see if it's right
0:31:51 > 0:31:53and let's see how many people said it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56It is right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02APPLAUSE
0:32:02 > 0:32:0637. Jane and Catherine have gone for Szechuan peppercorns.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It's right.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Will it beat 37?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Yes, it will. Well done.
0:32:17 > 0:32:1815.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well done. We are back where we were.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Jane and Catherine, after two questions it is 1-1.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Best two answers on the board, so well played, both teams.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30It is cinnamon, cinnamon would have scored...
0:32:30 > 0:32:3272.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Fennel would have scored you 65.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38And cloves would have been 47.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Here comes your third question this is the decider.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Artists On Film, Richard.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I'm going to show you five pictures of artists being portrayed on film.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00You need to tell us the name of the artist who is being portrayed.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Very best of luck, both teams.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05OK, so let's reveal our five artists and here they are. We've got...
0:33:27 > 0:33:31There we are. Five artists portrayed in film.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Jane and Catherine will go first this time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36C could be...
0:33:39 > 0:33:44We are going to go for A, which we think is Pablo Picasso.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47OK, Pablo Picasso say Jane and Catherine.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Stan and Katy, the board is all yours.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I think they're right with Pablo Picasso.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53B is Michelangelo,
0:33:53 > 0:33:54C is Vermeer,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56D, I think is van Gogh
0:33:56 > 0:33:58and E is Andy Warhol.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- C, if you're sure of it. - We will go for C - Vermeer.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04C, Vermeer, say Stan and Katy,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07so we have Pablo Picasso and we have Vermeer.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Jane and Catherine said Pablo Picasso.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Let's see if that's right for A.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Very good.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Nice low score there. 18.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Stan and Katy, meanwhile, have said Vermeer for C.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Oh, it's right.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41And it beats...
0:34:41 > 0:34:44CHEERING Pointless. Well done.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Not only wins you the point, not only gets you through to the final,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49it's pointless.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52It adds £250 to today's jackpot, which takes the total up to...
0:34:52 > 0:34:54As I say, it get you through to the final.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57After three questions, Stan and Katy are through, 2-1.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Again, best two answers on the board. Well played, both teams.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04B is Charlton Heston as Michelangelo.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07It would have scored you 26.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10D is Kirk Douglas as Vincent van Gogh.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14That would have scored you 45.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17E is David Bowie as Andy Warhol
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and that would have scored 31.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23So the pair leaving at the end of the head-to-head
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I'm afraid to say is Jane and Catherine.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Absolutely haven't put a foot wrong,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31you were just underscored by Stan and Katy there with Vermeer.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35But it means we will get to see you next time which is great news for us.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38We will look forward to that. In the meantime, thanks very much, Jane and Catherine.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40APPLAUSE
0:35:40 > 0:35:43But for Stan and Katy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Well done, Stan and Katy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52That was slightly against the grain, wasn't it?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I thought for a minute they were going to waltz away with it
0:35:55 > 0:35:58but they didn't. You have seen off all your rivals
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £3,250.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13APPLAUSE
0:36:16 > 0:36:21That £250 there, as you will be well aware, is entirely down to you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23What would you like to see on the board behind me
0:36:23 > 0:36:25so you can waltz off with that jackpot?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I think it's got to be sports of the some kind,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30that would be a big one for me.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- Stan?- Greatest hits of The Who.- OK.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39OK, quite specific. Good. Let's see what's on the board behind me.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Let's hope there's something up there that approximates one of those two sorts of things.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Anyway, today's choices look like this. We have got...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Young sporting award winners,
0:36:50 > 0:36:54we have got 1950s film musicals and Canada.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56What do you reckon?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Well, I'm not a musical person. Rappers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Yeah, we are not going to go pointless on rappers.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- I think it's got to be award winners.- Young sporting award winners.- Yes.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09We are going to go with young sporting award winners.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Best chance, I think.- Young sporting award winners. Richard.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Yes, three different categories for you here. Hopefully one of these will suit you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20We are looking for any player who has won the PFA Young Player Of The Year award.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25All the way through from the '73/'74 season through to 2015.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29We are looking for anyone who has won the BBC Young Sports Personality Of The Year award
0:37:29 > 0:37:33from when it was first given out in 2001 all the way through to 2014.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36We are looking for any tennis player, any male player who has won
0:37:36 > 0:37:38the ATP Newcomer Of The Year or Star Of Tomorrow
0:37:38 > 0:37:41or any female player who has won the WTA Newcomer Of The Year.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44That is from 1975 and 1977 respectively.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48So, PFA Young Player Of The Year, BBC Young Sports Personality Of The Year
0:37:48 > 0:37:51or ATP or WTA Newcomer Of The Year Or Star Of Tomorrow.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Very, very best of luck.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Now, as always you have got one minute to come up three answers.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00All you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Are you ready?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Have you got anything? - Not really. The obvious ones.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Young Personality...
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Or PFA Young Player Of The Year, I can't think back into the '70s.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18The recent ones will not be pointless.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- Throw some names out there. Young players.- Going back a while, maybe Paul Allen.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28He starred in a cup final when he was really young.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Tennis players, Mark Philippoussis was really good when he was young.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- I think.- That's going back a bit.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I know the name, but it's worth a shot.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41- Somebody like that.- I reckon the only ones... Michael Owen...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43He's a bit too recent.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Yeah, we need to go back. Think of a big star of the time.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49A young star.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Goalkeepers?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Strikers?- Goalkeepers. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Michael Owen is obvious, too obvious.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- Sports personality, Tom Daley perhaps.- Yeah, give it a go.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10OK, that's your time up there. I need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12There's nothing we're certain of.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- We'll go for Paul Allen as the PFA Young Player Of The Year. - Paul Allen.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Tom Daley for BBC Young Sports Personality Of The Year.- Tom Daley.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22And the ATP Newcomer Of The Year, Mark Philippoussis.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I think Tom Daley is the most likely to be right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- OK, so Tom Daley we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless? - Paul Allen.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Paul Allen, we'll put first.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, let's pop those answers on the board in that order, then.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Here they are.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42We have got Paul Allen, Mark Philippoussis and Tom Daley.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Best of luck.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Three good answers there.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49I don't know if they're right, who knows how they'll score
0:39:49 > 0:39:52but they sound good. That's the main thing.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Let's just imagine one of those is pointless
0:39:54 > 0:39:58and wins you that jackpot. 3,250 quid, that's quite a decent jackpot.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00What would you do with it, Stan?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05I fancy a trip to South Africa, Cape Town and maybe take in a test match.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Very good. Katy?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10F1 is a bit of a passion and it's an expensive hobby,
0:40:10 > 0:40:14so it would go a long way towards me perhaps touring Europe.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I've always fancied Spa, as it's the ultimate classic track.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20So... Maybe Monaco. A bit of spending money.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- That should probably cover it. - Very good. Well, best of luck.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Three good answers, as I say. In the first case, you answered Paul Allen.
