0:00:13 > 0:00:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much, indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:27 > 0:00:29to 100 people before the show.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30All our contestants have to do
0:00:30 > 0:00:33is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Nathan. This is Tash.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43We've been together five years and we're from Plymouth.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Couple number two.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm David. This is my brother Kevin and we're from Kent.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Nikki.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is my colleague Ian and we're from Barnsley.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- And finally, couple number four. - I'm Catherine.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57This is Jane, and we're friends from Suffolk.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Well, thank you very much, all of you, for all of that.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I daresay we will find out more about you
0:01:05 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The owner of Britain's most interesting desk job... LAUGHTER
0:01:12 > 0:01:15..it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Afternoon to you.- Good afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We have two returning players from last time.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27David and Kevin got knocked out in Round One,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29so we'll hopefully see a bit more of them this time,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and on that final podium, Jane and Catherine, who played brilliantly.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We had a brilliant head-to-head as well. It was really nip and tuck.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It was terrific stuff and they were very unlucky to get knocked out.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40They're going to be very tough to beat today, I suspect.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Round One - it's a rather nice round, I think, Round One.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Oh, it's a nice round? - Yeah, it's going to be...
0:01:45 > 0:01:46There's some obvious answers
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and there's some very good non-obvious answers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Excellent. Thank you, Richard.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Now, Stan and Katy won the jackpot last time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00There it is. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06OK, now, just remember.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:09 > 0:02:12eliminated. No conferring till we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Our first category today is...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19James Bond.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Can you all decide in your pairs,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:02:34 > 0:02:37as many actors who have appeared in more than one
0:02:37 > 0:02:39official Bond film as they could.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Actors who have appeared in more than one official Bond film. Richard.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Yeah, we're looking for the name of any actor who is credited
0:02:45 > 0:02:46in more than one Bond film,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48all the way from Dr No through to Skyfall, please.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50They have to be the official Bond films,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54so the name of any actor, according to IMDB, in two or more Bond films.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Now, Tash, welcome.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Now, what do you do down in Plymouth, Tash?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I work at the students' union at the university.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- So, how long have you been doing that?- Just over a year.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07And are you still at the university?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10No, I graduated just over a year ago as well.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I see, but you've stayed on to run the students' union. Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- A nice student body down in Plymouth? - Yeah, really lovely.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Like you could ever say anything other than yes to that.- Exactly.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21What are your interests outside of that?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I've got lots of different things.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Probably my favourite thing to talk about is that
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I volunteer at the local zoo as well.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You see, that's good. What do you do there?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I work along with the animal teams, cleaning up the animals,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33feeding them and playing with them.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Aw! Do you have a favourite animal?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Erm...- You could really upset some of the other animals, now.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40It does change every week,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43but at the moment, I've got to say the tapir,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45cos they've just had a baby and it's really cute.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Aw, they're like little pigs, aren't they, tapirs?- Yes, pretty much.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Yeah, the babies are stripy so they're cute.- Aw...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now, Tash, what are you going to go for?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Actors who have appeared in more than one official Bond film.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Nathan's probably going to kill me
0:04:00 > 0:04:04but I think I'm going to have to say Pierce Brosnan.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06OK. Right, OK, that's good.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Pierce Brosnan, says Tash. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pierce Brosnan.
0:04:17 > 0:04:1946. APPLAUSE
0:04:19 > 0:04:2146,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and so far Nathan hasn't killed you as well,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- which is good.- Excellent news.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Yeah, he appeared in four James Bond films as...
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- James Bond. - LAUGHTER
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Thanks very much, Richard.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Now, Kevin, welcome back.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Thank you. - Remind us, what do you do, Kevin?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39So, I tender security contracts
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and yeah, and then when we have them,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- I manage them for about a month and move on to the next one.- So you do.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And outside of security contracts... I mean, how, sorry, first,
0:04:49 > 0:04:50how did you get into security contracts?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53So, I did a bit of bodyguarding when I was a bit younger.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Then I had my little girl and I realised that
0:04:56 > 0:04:58the dangerous side wasn't as good as it should be
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and wasn't as, you know, I didn't get as much as I wanted to.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So, what's the most exciting bodyguarding job you did, Kevin?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I've done a few lower-class celebrities and a few music groups.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- I've got to be careful. - He means TOWIE.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- He means TOWIE.- No, I don't.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17He means a sort of Ben Miller type. Some sort of low-class celeb.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Mitchell and Webb, he'd probably do.- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Oh, but the glamour fell out of that for you?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Yeah, I mean, I preferred more the high-risk stuff,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27if I'm honest with you, than celebrities.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The high-risk? So give me an example of a high-risk security job.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Well, situations where we're working with gangs and stuff,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37and, like, with people investigating,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39doing the documentaries with the gangs,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and then, yeah, so, that, really.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Yeah, that is quite high-risk.- Yeah, it was. Very interesting, though.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Pointless must be a doddle for you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Obviously, Richard hasn't kicked off yet but...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50LAUGHTER ..you never know.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Now, Kevin, what are you going to go for?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I want to try a risky one, but I'm not sure, and after the last...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Definitely try a risky one.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Yeah, after the last one. I'm going to try.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm going to go safe. Timothy Dalton.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Timothy Dalton, OK, so, sticking with Bond, OK.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Timothy Dalton.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, 46, it beats that,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16so 29 for Timothy Dalton.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Not bad there, Kevin.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Not bad at all.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22If you actually were James Bond,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- you'd be annoyed at only scoring 29...- Yeah, that's true.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27..in a question about appearing in more than one Bond film.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- He was only in two, though.- He was in two but it's still more than one.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- It is more than one.- And he was Bond.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- And he was Bond.- For goodness' sake.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35He was very good in his first Bond film.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- He's your favourite Bond, isn't he? - I think he's the...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- He acted Bond the best. - He acted Bond the best?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43He acted Bond the best. Oh, in Living Daylights, oh, he's brilliant.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- We can't really talk about the other Bonds because...- Let's not.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48It would appear that those are the answers everyone's
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- going to give during this round. - LAUGHTER
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Yup, so, Nikki, welcome here from Barnsley.- Thank you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And what occupies you in Barnsley, Nikki?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I am a cover teacher in a secondary school.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01OK, so, what, you're called in if someone's ill?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Does that mean, is that like a supply...?- I work there every day.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Right. You're there. - I'm in the same school all the time.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10I'm covering teachers that are off or are on courses, etc.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- I see, so you've got to cover all bases.- Yeah.- You can...
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So you might be in a chemistry lesson one minute and then history the next.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Yeah, that's right. - Does that mean you have
0:07:19 > 0:07:21a little grounding in any of those disciplines
0:07:21 > 0:07:25or do you just say, "Page 42, do the questions," and you just read a book?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28No, it'd be nice if I could do that, but no, can't do that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- No.- Erm, drama's my main subject,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- but at the moment I'm teaching history and RE.- Right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Very good. Very good.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Do any people go from cover teaching into a specific lesson?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Into a specific subject?- Yeah, I'm doing that at the moment, actually,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- so the long-term plan is to be history and RE.- So...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46History, OK, very good.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Now, Nikki, what are you going to go for from our Bond actors?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Erm, so, I'm going to go with Dame Judi Dench.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Judi Dench says Nikki.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Judi Dench. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Judi Dench.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Well, 46 is our high score at this point.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Judi Dench takes you below 46
0:08:06 > 0:08:07to 34.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Yes, she's been M in seven Bond films and beat Bond.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Beat Bond.- Didn't she beat Timothy Dalton?- Yeah. Beat Bond.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Now, Jane.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Jane, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Jane.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I'm a parish clerk and I work part-time for a charity, as well.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- What's the charity you work for? - The charity is called Home-Start.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It is Home-Start South Suffolk & District,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- so they're all over the country. - Right you are.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- OK, what are your interests outside? - I like walking.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I like going to the theatre and I love reading.- Good stuff.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46OK, Jane, what are you going to go for?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Bond actors who have been in more than one Bond.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Well, I'm glad we're on podium four,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53because a name came into my mind at the beginning,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and I couldn't get her surname, but I think I've got it right,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58so I'm going to go for Lois Maxwell.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Lois Maxwell, says Jane.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Lois Maxwell. I'm pretty sure she didn't play Bond.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Is that right?- We'll find out. - LAUGHTER
0:09:05 > 0:09:06We'll find out. OK, Lois Maxwell.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said Lois Maxwell.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That's a good answer, Jane. Look at that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Down it goes. Down to 4. Very well done, indeed.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23That's how you play Pointless.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Very well done, Jane. 4 for Lois Maxwell.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well played, Jane. She was Miss Moneypenny, of course, in 14 films,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31all the way from Dr No up to A View To A Kill.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Wow, good. Good. Good, OK, well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:37 > 0:09:394 for Jane and Catherine on the far podium,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41there, then we travel up to 29, Kevin and David.
0:09:41 > 0:09:4234, Nikki and Ian,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and 46, Tash and Nathan.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Now, Nathan,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49what you have to do now is just scour your brain until you
0:09:49 > 0:09:51can find the most obscure answer
0:09:51 > 0:09:52and hope no-one nicks it before I get to you,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but best of luck. We need a low score from you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Now, Catherine, remind us, what do you do?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09I'm a PA to a company that manufactures thermal insulation
0:10:09 > 0:10:10for the construction industry.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Very good. Now, in your spare time,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Catherine, what delights you?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I volunteer at a local hospice at the weekend,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23which is quite rewarding but can be upsetting too.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Do you...? Are you a watcher of James Bond films?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm not a watcher of James Bond films
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and I'm going to go for a Bond
0:10:30 > 0:10:33but I'm not going to go for a Mr Bond,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I'm going to go for a Ms Bond - Samantha Bond.- Samantha Bond.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- Yeah.- Very good indeed.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The high-scorers at this point are Nathan and Tash on 46.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45How many people said Samantha Bond?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48It's right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Very well done.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55CHEERING 7, well done.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Takes your total to 11.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Another Miss Moneypenny, of course, four times - Samantha Bond.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Ian, welcome.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Also from Barnsley. What you do, Ian?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm a cover teacher like Nikki, in the same school.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12We've worked together for six years.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Excellent. So, if you're not covering,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17does that mean you can sit that lesson out,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19or do you have other tasks that you're given, other duties?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21We do have other tasks, yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26It's lesson preparation or catching up with other admin work.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Very good. How big's the school?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- There are 800 pupils in the school at the moment.- OK, that's a lot.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33How many of those pupils do you reckon you know?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- On sight, would you know nearly all of them?- Just about, yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I would say the majority. I just have a problem with names, though.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Oh, same here. Yeah, of course,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- they don't all wear badges like we get everyone to do here.- No.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45What are your hobbies outside of that, Ian?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I play a lot of table tennis.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I've played it since I was 11 years old,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52and I've won quite a few trophies at it,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- which I'm really pleased about. - Very good. Still playing?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Yes, I am, yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Now, Ian,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01you want to be scoring 11 or less with your answer.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Have you got a good one?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, hopefully, but sadly, James Bond isn't in our curriculum.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10I wish he was. The name that I'm going to give you is John Cleese.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11John Cleese, says Ian.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Here's your red line.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Get below that with John Cleese
0:12:15 > 0:12:17and you're definitely into the next round.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19How many people said John Cleese?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23It's right.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Not bad at all.
0:12:28 > 0:12:3013, I think that'll do.
0:12:30 > 0:12:3313 takes your total up to 47.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And he was Q in Die Another Day and R in The World Is Not Enough -
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- just the two. - There we are. Thank you.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40OK, now,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- David, welcome back.- How's it going? - Remind us what you do, David.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45I'm an accounts manager
0:12:45 > 0:12:47for a medical devices company.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Very good, a medical devices company.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, so we provide blood equipment to the NHS
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and my role is to basically support that
0:12:54 > 0:12:58and make sure all their services stay up and running.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Very good. Very important too.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03David, outside that, what, what keeps you happy?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I'm a musician so I play the violin and play the piano.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Do you play the violin...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09are you in an orchestra at all or in a group
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- or do you play solo?- Not any more.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I used to play in an orchestra when I was younger
0:13:13 > 0:13:14and also in a string quartet
0:13:14 > 0:13:19but I've not done that probably since I was a teenager, actually.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22OK, now, there you are, on 29.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24The high-scorers are now Ian and Nikki on 47,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27so 17 or less gets you through.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So, learning from the last lesson,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I'm just going to stay safe,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and we are going to go with...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Daniel Craig.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39FAINT GIGGLING OK, staying "safe".
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That's... There's safe
0:13:41 > 0:13:42and there's Daniel Craig
0:13:42 > 0:13:43and there is your red line.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46If you get below that with Daniel Craig...
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I'll be surprised.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51We'll all... We'll all be thrilled. LAUGHTER
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Let's see how far down the column you get with Daniel Craig.
0:14:00 > 0:14:0357. That is a... APPLAUSE
0:14:03 > 0:14:06That takes your total up to 86 -
0:14:06 > 0:14:08a good deal less punishing than I thought it might be.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Kevin doing the kind of look that only a brother can do there,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- a good "head in the hands" look. - Yeah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17All right, thank you, Richard. Now, Nathan.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'd say that's made things a bit easier for you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Previously, you were going to have to score a pointless answer to be
0:14:24 > 0:14:25sure of your place in the next round.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Anyway, Nathan, tell us what you do.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31So, I work in sales for a packaging company.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'm a cardboard box salesman, essentially, yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- That's fun, though, isn't it? Packaging?- People need boxes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Oh, everyone needs boxes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39- Everyone needs boxes.- Exactly.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Do you personalise them? Do you brand them for people?- Yeah, we...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46They try and get us as involved in the entire process as possible,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48but I tend to do the most important bit, which is
0:14:48 > 0:14:51drinking tea with the customer.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Oh, that is important.- Yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56And outside of boxes, what-what-what's-what's good?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I'm really into my football. I'm a big Spurs fan,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04and I play for three teams, which drives Tash a bit mad, but...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- That's a big commitment, there. - Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- All in the Plymouth region? - Yeah, yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK, well, that's not too bad, at least.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- At least you're not travelling up to York.- This is true.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Apart from York away, but...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Yeah, well, there we are. Now, there you are.
0:15:17 > 0:15:1839 or less is what you need
0:15:18 > 0:15:20to get through to the next round.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What are you going to go for?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I will go for...
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Roger Moore. - LAUGHTER
0:15:30 > 0:15:32OK, there's your red line.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You've got to go below that red line, Nathan,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36otherwise we'll have to say goodbye to you,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39but let's see. Roger Moore, how many people said it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44GROANING 62.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Nathan, I'm afraid there's your answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It takes your total up to 108.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah, sorry, another, another James Bond, of course.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- You look a little bit like Harry Kane, Nathan.- Thank you.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Just a little bit. You score as many as him as well.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Now, let's take you look at some of the pointless answers.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03There are a few up there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Charles Gray, who played Blofeld, played another part as well.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Clifton James. Colin Salmon was in three Bond films.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14He was mooted to be the new Bond at one point as well.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17David Hedison and Jeffrey Wright, they both played Felix Leiter
0:16:17 > 0:16:20in different films, in more than one film.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Joe Don Baker has played a goodie and a baddie in Bond films.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You could have had Michael Kitchen.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Robbie Coltrane's been in a couple. Tsai Chin.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And for fans of recent Pointless history,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Burt Kwouk was also a pointless answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Very well done if you said that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Let's take a look at the top three scorers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43And Connery, top of the Bonds...
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Thanks very much, Richard.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50the pair who are heading home with their high score of 108,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'm afraid it's Nathan and Tash. I'm sorry.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I mean, some people would call this a gift of a round,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but actually, when it comes down to it, that's quite hard, actually.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00There aren't that many. I mean, you know, plenty of actors who
0:17:00 > 0:17:03have been in lots, but they tend to be the bit parts, don't they?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Yeah, Desmond Llewelyn would have scored 7 points.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08He'd be a good answer. Bernard Lee, 3 points.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- You know, the people we know from a few of them.- Yeah.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Rory Kinnear would have scored 2 points -
0:17:13 > 0:17:15would have been a great answer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Very good. Well, these are all the answers.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Might you have gone for any of those? Desmond Llewelyn...- No.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22No, OK, well, there we are. That's a relief, isn't it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23We'll see you next time, Nathan and Tash,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and I'm sure we'll see more of you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27but, meantime, thanks very much, Nathan and Tash.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And look at that. Suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46but David and Kevin, well done, nice to have you in Round Two.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Newcomers, Nikki and Ian, well done, well done being in Round Two,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52and oldcomers, Jane and Catherine,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55once again, our lowest individual and lowest joint scorers,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57so very well done on the far podium over there.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Can you all decide in your pairs,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And whoever's going to go first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23UK Rail, Metro and Tramlink stations. Richard.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26On each board, we're going to show you six pairs of stations -
0:18:26 > 0:18:28either Rail, Metro or Tramlink stations.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You just need to tell us the UK town or city in which you'd find
0:18:31 > 0:18:33those pairs of stations, please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Six on the first pass, six on the second.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- 12 in all to have a go at at home. - Oh, this is nice.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- It is nice, actually. - I love these rounds.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Cos wherever you're from, there'll be something.- Exactly.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45A chance to travel round the country without leaving our chairs, eh? LAUGHTER
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Very nice. We're looking for the council and cities in which you'd
0:18:48 > 0:18:52find these pairs of stations, and here's our first board of six.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53We've got...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'll read those one last time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22There we are. Now, David, you are going to go first, you lucky thing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Yeah.- Oh, isn't this fun?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- It's absolutely fun. - Oh, it is absolutely fun.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I've got two on that board that I definitely know,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and I'll go with...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Oxford Circus-Notting Hill Gate. It's in London.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41OK. So, London, says David.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I've heard of that. Let's see if it's right
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and let's see how many of our 100 people said London.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yup. Well, listen, that... APPLAUSE
0:19:53 > 0:19:5590, David, is 10 better than 100,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56so there we are,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58on Notting Hill Gate-Oxford Circus.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01That's right, London, yeah. The one thing you have to say about David,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- he's not afraid of a big score. - No.- Yeah, true.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yeah, that is... That's very big.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yes, both in London.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Lovely. Now, Nikki.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Nikki, what are you going to
0:20:11 > 0:20:12go for on that board?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Erm, there's three I think I know,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19but I'm going to go with Hillsborough-Meadowhall Interchange,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- and that is in Sheffield. - Sheffield, says Nikki.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Let's see if that's right
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and if it is, let's see how many people said Sheffield.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's right. Well, you passed 90.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3255 for Sheffield.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's got a rail station, a tram stop,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- a bus station and a coach station, all in one place.- Oh.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Meadowhall Interchange.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Amazing.- Very few bits of transport you couldn't get from there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I imagine there's probably a bike rack
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- somewhere there as well. - There's a bike rack.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- You could probably land a helicopter if you so chose.- A taxi rank...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- LAUGHTER - A taxi rank, there will be there.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You could walk if you want to walk.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- You cannot get a boat from there. - No.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01People must arrive there and just think...
0:21:03 > 0:21:04..as they look around the array?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's like, mean, phew, they could do anything there.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- It's like a kid in a transport shop. - Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14You can't get a submarine from there, as I learned to my cost.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Unless it's an edible one.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- You can get one of those, certainly. You can get a sub.- Yes, you could.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- GROANING AND LAUGHTER - Yes, you could get that.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23And some... There is a backpack...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26A jetpack rental shop there as well, which is...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- LAUGHTER - There is a jetpack rental shop, yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Although they're running low, I am told,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33because a lot of people don't return them.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Well, a lot of people don't return.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38OK, now, Catherine.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Alexander. - Catherine, that board's all yours,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44if you fancy talking us through all of those.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I think the second one down is Liverpool.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Something tells me the Titanic one should be Belfast,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52because that's where it was built,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55but I don't know if I'm brave enough to go for Belfast,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59so I think I'll go Jesmond and Newcastle.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Jesmond-Monument Newcastle, says Catherine.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02OK, well, let's see if it's right,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04and let's see how many people said Newcastle.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07It is right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well, you pass 90,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and you pass 55.
0:22:11 > 0:22:1428, well done. CHEERING
0:22:14 > 0:22:16As ever, that far podium
0:22:16 > 0:22:18gets the low score there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19During the Second World War,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22the Grey's Monument statue in Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24it got hit by lightning and its head fell off.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- LAUGHTER I didn't know that.- Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Now, that's a good answer, Catherine.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Actually, you were right about Belfast.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It would have been an even better answer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It would have scored you 23 points.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Liverpool, for Lime Street and Moorfields, of course,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41would have scored you 52,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and Ibrox and Buchanan Street, Glasgow,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45and that would have scored 64.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50As ever, the lowest score is that
0:22:50 > 0:22:51far one over there on podium four.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Catherine and Jane, very well done, on 28.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Then, up to 55, Nikki and Ian.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Then up to 90, David and Kevin,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00so, Kevin, we need a low score from you.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Good luck. How you find that board, for example?- Yeah, not too bad.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm surprised he went for London, to be honest with you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK, well, you can have words with him on the way home.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Best of luck finding a nice, low score, Kevin.- Thank you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK, let's put six more pairs of stations up on the board,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and here they come.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22We've got...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'll read those one last time.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Now, remember we're looking for
0:23:44 > 0:23:48the towns or cities in which you'd find these pairs of stations.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Jane, you're the low scorers once again,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55but I think you'll still know a really nice low answer on that board.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I know a few of them.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'm trying to work out which the lowest one will be.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Actually, I don't think this will be the lowest but I'm sure of it,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07so Deansgate and Piccadilly Gardens - Manchester.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Manchester, says Jane. Here's your red line.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12If you get below that with Manchester, you're into the head-to-head for a second time.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Let's see how many people said Manchester.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's right.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And you're through. Well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2349. Good enough.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 77.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Another very good answer and safely through.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Thanks, Richard.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Now, Ian, you have a target.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Yep.- 34 or less.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39There are a couple on there that I do know for sure.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Again, I don't know which one's going to be the lowest
0:24:41 > 0:24:47but I'll go for Lace Market and The Forest - Nottingham.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Nottingham, says Ian.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Here's your red line. If you can get below that with Nottingham,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53you'll go through to the head-to-head.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Let's see how many people said Nottingham.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04APPLAUSE 46.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Takes your total up to 101.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Not a bad answer at all.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Of course, famous for its lace making industry, Nottingham,
0:25:13 > 0:25:14and a football team called Forest.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Thank you, Richard. Now, Kevin.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Kevin, talk us through the board. You have to score 10 or less.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'm not sure on any, if I'm honest,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25but I do think maybe Murrayfield...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Belfast or Dublin. I'm going to go for Dublin.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32OK, you're going to say Dublin. Here is your red line.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You'd have to get below that.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Dublin would have to be right, though.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Let's see if it is.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I'm afraid not, Kevin. - It's Edinburgh. It's Edinburgh.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 190
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- and you clearly know that answer.- Yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yes, I think you realised Edinburgh is the answer there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It would have scored you 51 points though. It's a big scorer.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The top one is Leeds.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Another big scorer, 53.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Jewellery Quarter and Soho Benson Road...
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Fewer clues there
0:26:06 > 0:26:09but obviously an awful lot of people live near or around it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- It's Birmingham.- Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13But it is the best answer on the board, 30 points if you said that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- And Clifton Down - Temple Meads? - Bristol.- Bristol.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18That's the biggest scorer there, actually, 67.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:23 > 0:26:27with a high score of 190, I'm afraid, Kevin and David.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Well, listen, you've done twice as well this time as you did last time
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and a better score to go out on, 190.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sorry, this is where we have to say goodbye. Kevin and David,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39great contestants, thanks so much. APPLAUSE
0:26:41 > 0:26:44But for Jane and Catherine, Nicola and Ian,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Well, this is very exciting, Jane and Catherine, Nikki and Ian.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:55 > 0:26:59and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Well, you know the score.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02At this point you can start playing as a team.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You don't have to answer on your own any more, and the first pair
0:27:05 > 0:27:07to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well, Jane and Catherine, you've been here before.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12In fact, you've been RIGHT here before.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Yes, it was 2 - 1, wasn't it, against you last time?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Well, best of luck this time.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Nikki and Ian, we've had some good answers from you
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and now you can put your heads together, who knows what will happen.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27APPLAUSE
0:27:30 > 0:27:34OK, here is your first question and it concerns:
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Perfectly logical. Piggybacking Animals. Richard?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42As a special treat for you, we're going to show you five pictures now
0:27:42 > 0:27:46of animals taking a ride on the backs of other animals.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We need you to tell us the animal that's providing the ride, please.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51LAUGHTER
0:27:53 > 0:27:57OK, let's reveal our five piggybacking animals
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and here they are. We've got:
0:27:59 > 0:28:02HE CHUCKLES
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Aw.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Meh.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:28:19 > 0:28:20- Aw.- Beautiful.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24There we go.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30OK, so it's the one that is giving the ride that we are after,
0:28:30 > 0:28:31not the passenger.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Jane and Catherine,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- you are to go first.- OK.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38We are going to go for A - capybara.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42A - capybara, say Jane and Catherine. Capybara.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Now then, Nikki and Ian, the board's all yours.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Talk us through it.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49We know B is warthog.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I would say C is crocodile.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54We don't know D.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56D we're not sure of,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- and E is...- Chameleon.- Chameleon.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01That's the one that you're going to go for?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Yeah, E - chameleon.- We'll go for E.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05OK, so we have capybara and we have chameleon.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Jane and Catherine said capybara.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yep, it's right.
0:29:17 > 0:29:2125. APPLAUSE
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Now, Nikki and Ian have said E - chameleon.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Let's see if that's right
0:29:26 > 0:29:29and how many of our 100 people said chameleon.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Oh, bad luck.
0:29:35 > 0:29:3778 for chameleon, which means, well done, Jane and Catherine.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40After one question you're up 1 - 0.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43They're often too angry to land on, chameleons, they won't give lifts.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46That one's fortunately found a CALMER chameleon there
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- and has got away with it. - LAUGHTER
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Thanks, everybody, thank you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54B - warthog, let's take a look at the score.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58That scored 52.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- What's the creature on the warthog there? Cos that's sweet.- It's a bird.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Aw, look at that. Is it a bird?- Yeah, a bird.- Lovely.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- They've got wings, flies up in the air.- Yeah.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Cos sometimes you see them about, don't you? Lovely.- Yeah.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Birds, they're called.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14C is a crocodile.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Would have scored 88 points.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22D... I mean, Capybara was obviously going to be a low score.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It might have been worth having a guess at this.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- It is...- Giant something land snail.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Giant something land snail.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33And... No, too many letters for Andean.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Aa... African.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Giant African land snail.- Good.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It would have scored you 18 points.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40How giant is that? Cos I don't know how big that frog is.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Well, that's the point. That frog is essentially...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45That's a giant African land frog.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- It's five feet across. - It's the size of a horse, that frog,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51so the snail is quite something.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I don't know what it's sliding across
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- but it's beautifully shiny, look at that.- Thank you.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- It's actually this desk.- Is it? - Yeah.- You keep that so well.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Thank you.- There you go.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03OK, thank you, there we are.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05So here comes your second question, Nikki and Ian.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07You have to win this one to stay in the game
0:31:07 > 0:31:09but you get to answer first, so best of luck with that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It concerns:
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Queens. Richard?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I'm going to show a list of clues to people or things that have
0:31:17 > 0:31:20the word Queen in their title. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23OK, let's reveal our list of clues and here they come.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I'll read those one last time.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Now then, Nikki and Ian, it's you to go first.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12We're going to go for the last one, the American rapper,
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Queen Latifah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Queen Latifah, say Nikki and Ian. Queen Latifah.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Now, Jane and Catherine, the board is all yours.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24We think the second one is Queens Park Rangers
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and the film is The African Queen.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31And that's the one we're going to go for, The African Queen.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33The African Queen, say Jane and Catherine.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So we have Queen Latifah and we have African Queen.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Now, Nikki and Ian said Queen Latifah.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Let's see if that's right for Dana Owens and how many people said it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Very good. 39. APPLAUSE
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Jane and Catherine, meanwhile, have gone for The African Queen,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57the Humphrey Bogart film.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06It's right.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07And it wins you the point!
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Look at that, down to 30, which means, very well done,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Jane and Catherine. Finally you've done it!
0:33:14 > 0:33:17After only two questions, as well. You are through to the final 2 - 0.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Very well played. There's another couple of low-scoring answers up there.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25The first one, the real name of Green Arrow is Oliver Queen.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28That would have scored you 8 points. You're right about Queens Park Rangers.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33It would have scored you 74. It says they were promoted there in 2014.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36It doesn't mention they were relegated in 2015, which they were,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38also rivals of Fulham.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It was a shame to see.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45The Daucus carota plant is also known as...
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Queen Anne's lace.
0:33:47 > 0:33:492 points, so very well done if you said that.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Nikki and Ian - a great shame for us.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58You've played very well throughout the show so far.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00We will get to see you again next time, though,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03which is a bonus and we look forward to that very much indeed.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05In the meantime, thanks very much, Nikki and Ian.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:11But for Jane and Catherine it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Oh, well done, Jane and Catherine!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Finally you have made it through to the final.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20You've seen off all the competition
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31You now have a chance to play for our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well, there you were in the head-to-head last time
0:34:38 > 0:34:40as our golden couple.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Now that is by no means an automatic bye through to the final.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Last time it was a bye to the dressing room.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- No, it was hello to the dressing room.- Well, it was bye from us.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53But this time, very, very strong definitive low scorers in each round,
0:34:53 > 0:34:552 - 0 in the head-to-head. Through you come.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Now that normally tees things up very nicely for a jackpot win
0:34:58 > 0:34:59in this round.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02What would you like to see on that board to help you win that jackpot?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I would not like to see football.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07No, we don't want sport.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Literature again, maybe.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Yeah, perhaps literature. Perhaps...countries.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Music if it's '60s and '70s.- Yeah.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18OK, well, we're going to show you what today's selection looks like.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Let's hope there's something you like the look of up there.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22We've got:
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Fiction?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Well, do you know anything about Japan?- No.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35I've eaten some sushi once
0:35:35 > 0:35:37but I think that's probably about my limit.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Let's go for Modern US Fiction. - Modern US Fiction.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42OK, Modern US Fiction it is, Richard.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45That sounded like you were between a rock and a hard place there.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- We were.- The best of a bad bunch. I wish you very, very best of luck.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51We're looking for novels by three of the real giants of US literature.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56We're looking for any novel released up to May 2015
0:35:56 > 0:35:59by Philip Roth,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01by Jack Kerouac,
0:36:01 > 0:36:02or by Cormac McCarthy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05So, any Philip Roth, Jack Kerouac or Cormac McCarthy novels
0:36:05 > 0:36:07up to May 2015.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09They've got to be full-length novels, not short stories,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12but novels by any of those three gentlemen. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Thank you. Can we go for Japan? - HE LAUGHS
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You beat me to it.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21All we need for you to win that jackpot
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Your time starts now.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Well, the only Jack Kerouac one is On the Road.- Yeah, On the Road.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- I don't know.- Philip Roth...
0:36:35 > 0:36:36I don't think I know any.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I've heard of him but I don't...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42And I don't know anything about Cormac McCarthy either.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- So it was a good category to pick then.- So we've got On the Road.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I think we'll be on the road in a minute.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Philip Roth, Philip Roth.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Was that Portnoy's Complaint?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Who wrote that?- I can't remember.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Was it Philip Roth?- Possibly. We may as well say it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00We don't have many others, do we?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03I don't know whether that's a book I should have read. I don't think it is.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Cormac McCarthy... Who's Cormac McCarthy?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Oh...
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- We've just got to make something up. - We'll have to make something up.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- So we'll have to have On the Road. - Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Portnoy's Complaint... - Ten seconds left.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Cormac McCarthy sounds Irish, doesn't he?- Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Um...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- The Emerald Isle.- OK. Let's do that.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32OK. That's your time up. What are your three answers going to be?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34OK, Jack Kerouac - On the Road.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36On the Road.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Cormac McCarthy, we're going to go for The Emerald Isle.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Beautiful book, yes, The Emerald Isle.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43And Philip Roth... Go for it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I've got a feeling it's Portnoy's Complaint but I don't know...
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- And that's for Philip Roth?- Yes. - OK, so one from each of them.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55The only one we know is right is On the Road.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Shall we put On the Road last then?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- And I'm guessing The Emerald Isle we might put first.- Yes, I think so.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02OK, let's put those up on the board in that order then
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and here they are.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06We've got The Emerald Isle, we've got Portnoy's Complaint,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08and we've got On the Road.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Very best of luck. Three answers there.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14What if one of those is pointless?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15I will faint.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- What if one of those is pointless... - And I'll pick Jane up.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20..and you win that jackpot?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24What would you do with the swag, Jane?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28I'd probably put it towards a short break somewhere, I think.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Very good. Catherine? - I'd do the same.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I'm going to Paris later in the year so I'd put it towards that.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Very good indeed. OK, well, best of luck.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Three good answers. They certainly look good up on the board there,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41your first answer, particularly, The Emerald Isle.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44In this case we were looking for Cormac McCarthy novels.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47It has to be right, obviously, then it has to be pointless to win,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50so for £1,000, let's see if anyone said The Emerald Isle.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Let's just see if it's right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Aw.- The Emerald Isle, an incorrect answer, so not a pointless answer.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Your next answer was Portnoy's Complaint.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06In this case, we were looking for Philip Roth novels.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Let's see if it's right. Let's see if it's pointless.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10If it's both of those things, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12How many people said Portnoy's Complaint?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- It's right.- Right! Well done. - It's right.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20You weren't at all sure if it was
0:39:20 > 0:39:22but it is indeed a Philip Roth novel.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Down it goes through the 20s,
0:39:23 > 0:39:25through the teens.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27It's still going down, single figures...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Ooh, 4!- Oh, well done though.
0:39:29 > 0:39:324 for Portnoy's Complaint. APPLAUSE
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Now that's more like it. Very exciting indeed.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Your third and final answer was On The Road.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45You put this one last because you knew it was right,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48not necessarily cos you thought it would be pointless,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51but let's find out how many people said On the Road.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53For £1,000, is it pointless?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Well, it's right.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Your first answer, The Emerald Isle, of course was incorrect,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Portnoy's Complaint took us down to 4.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05On the Road now takes us down through the 20s and it...
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Ooh, 22 for On the Road. There we are.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Well, I have to say, four very, very tricky categories there
0:40:15 > 0:40:18and you made the best of a bad job there
0:40:18 > 0:40:21cos you were kind of forced into that one.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24It was either that or Japan and I don't know where we'd have been with Japan.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32That will roll over to the next show, but what a great performance,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34really strong right across both shows,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37and you get a Pointless trophy each to take home for your trouble.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39That's marvellous, thank you.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41But very well done, Jane and Catherine.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42APPLAUSE
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Yeah, very well played. Exemplary performance.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49The Japanese question was just Japanese translations
0:40:49 > 0:40:52of Philip Roth novels so you didn't lose out.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Portnoy's Complaint of course is about a guy called Portnoy,
0:40:55 > 0:41:00who gets mis-sold PPI. It's a terrific novel.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It's not really that. It's not really.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07There's lots in all of them. Philip Roth novels -
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Everyman is a pointless answer. I Married a Communist is a brilliant book.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13It's about me marrying a communist, funnily enough.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Indignation is a pointless answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Zuckerman Unbound was a pointless answer, as was Zuckerman Bound.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21It was an early attempt to try and do a Fifty Shades of Grey-type trilogy.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- It didn't come off. - LAUGHTER
0:41:23 > 0:41:26It wasn't that at all. Deception, also a pointless answer.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Exit Ghost, Letting Go, My Life as a Man.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31You could have had The Anatomy Lesson, The Counterlife,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34The Dying Animal, The Professor of Desire, and When She Was Good.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37All of those were pointless answers for Philip Roth novels.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Let's take a look at Jack Kerouac now.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Book of Dreams, you could have had,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Doctor Sax, Maggie Cassidy, The Sea Is My Brother.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51It wasn't, spoiler alert. It was the sea, it turns out, in the end.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54He was very drunk and got very, very confused.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57He tried to invite it round for Christmas. It was awful.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00The entire living room was just damp right through Boxing Day.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04It was a mess. Now Cormac McCarthy. He does sound Irish. He's not Irish.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08He writes very bleak, desolate American novels, Cormac McCarthy.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10The big answers for him were The Road, and No Country for Old Men,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12those were the big scorers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Blood Meridian, as well, and All the Pretty Horses.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18But the pointless answers for him, you've got Cities of the Plain.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21You could have had Suttree, The Crossing,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24The Orchard Keeper, and also you could have had The Sunset Limited.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Very well done. I know some people love their literature
0:42:27 > 0:42:29and it would have been the perfect round for them.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I'm sorry it was not your perfect round.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You've been brilliant across so many categories and this is unfortunately
0:42:34 > 0:42:37a bad time to come across a blind spot, but very, very well played.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Thanks very much. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Jane and Catherine. It's been great having you on the show, on both shows indeed.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Thank you so much for playing, Jane and Catherine.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, sadly, Jane and Catherine didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:53 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Join us then. See if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
