0:00:14 > 0:00:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless, the show where the lowest scorers
0:00:27 > 0:00:29are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, erm, I'm Tash and this is my boyfriend Nathan
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- and we're from Plymouth. - Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm Sam and this is my dad Ian and we're from Worthing.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Ian, this is my work colleague Nikki,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and we're from Carlton Community College in Barnsley.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm Chris and this is my sister-in-law Sherrie
0:00:51 > 0:00:52and we're from Cambridge.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Thank you very much, each and every one of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, that leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07a man so clever he not only knows the minutiae, he can spell it, too!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We've got two returning pairs. Very different shows last time.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Nicola and Ian, who's now got an initial.- I spotted that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- He's gone off and done stuff. - Hasn't he just?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25They got through to the Head-to-Head, played very,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27very well, and on podium one, got Tash
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and we've got our Harry Kane lookalike, Nathan.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31They got knocked out very, very early, unfortunately.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Hopefully see a bit more of them today.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yeah, a lot of them - very, very Ian-heavy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Is this the first time we've gone double Ian?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- I don't think it can be, can it? - Done double a lot.- Double Dave.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Double Dave, we've had it on a team! - Urgh!- One team of Daves.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- But I think it might be our first double Ian.- First double Ian.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Anyway, listen, thank you very much indeed.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Jane and Catherine, by the way,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55didn't win the Jackpot last time, which is terribly sad for them.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But it does mean, by way of some consolation, that we have a
0:01:58 > 0:01:59slightly bigger Jackpot. I know.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We're going to add £1,000 to that Jackpot,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04so today's Jackpot starts off at...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06There we are.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So, remember, the pair with the highest
0:02:19 > 0:02:22score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Do what you can not to be in the pair with the highest score.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Our first category today is...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31History. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:31 > 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 > 0:02:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The 16th century. Richard.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Yes, on each board, we're going to show you seven
0:02:47 > 0:02:50questions about people, places and events of the 16th century.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Just need you to give us the most obscure answer.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54There's going to be seven on each board, 14 in all,
0:02:54 > 0:02:55to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58No-one is allowed to say, "This is a bit before my time."
0:02:58 > 0:02:59LAUGHTER
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, let's reveal our first board of people,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04places and events from the 16th century, and here they are.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Nathan, welcome back. Now, Nathan, remind us what you do.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I'm in sales for a packaging company.- Excellent.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- They call it a packaging strategist. - Packaging strategist.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- So, where does strategy come into it? - It doesn't.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I'm a cardboard box salesman.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:14So, you come up with strategy solutions
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- in the cardboard box industry? - 'Solutions' is a good buzz word.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- We use that a lot.- I bet.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Packaging solutions, which basically just means packaging.- Yes.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Putting things in a box.- Yes. - Excellent.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28When you're not putting things in a box, Nathan, what keeps you happy?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Erm, we've just bought a house earlier this year.- That's exciting.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33So, we've got a bit of a rule.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35We have to do at least one thing every day.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37For example, we're building a cupboard to put our washing
0:04:37 > 0:04:40machine in. The other day, I couldn't be bothered,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43so I put a curtain up in front of it instead of a cupboard,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44and that was my job for the day done.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I would've thought a very sturdy cardboard box would do the job.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Yeah! Yeah! Can't you strategise some kind of cardboard solution to that?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I just don't know where I'd get it from.- Oh. Good point.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Good point. Now, Nathan, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I've got an idea for a few of them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04But I'm afraid...
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- I might have to just go for Leonardo da Vinci, painted the Mona Lisa.- OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Tash is nodding.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I think it might be right, but we'll see! Leonardo da Vinci.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It IS right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:2451. Well, that's not bad, actually. 51.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31They used emotion recognition software on the Mona Lisa, and
0:05:31 > 0:05:38they concluded she was 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- Wow!- Wow.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I wonder where they found that in the face.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- What percentage disgusted and angry am I now?- You?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49You are 41% disgusted and 36% angry.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Not bad. 42...- And you are...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52LAUGHTER
0:05:52 > 0:05:54And I would say you are 20% not really understanding
0:05:54 > 0:05:55what's going on.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56LAUGHTER
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Which, for you, is low! So, that's good.- Not bad! I'll work on that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sam, welcome from Worthing.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07And thank you for the shirt! That's brightened everyone's day, hasn't it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I was thinking might be a bit too jazzy?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We've never had "too jazzy" on this show, Sam.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Listen, there's a challenge,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15throwing down the jazzy gauntlet for next time.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Somebody's got to beat the jazziness.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19So, what do you do in Worthing, Sam?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I am a funeral operative at the Family Funeral Directive.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Now, a funeral operative,
0:06:24 > 0:06:29these are funeral systems solutions that you're strategising here.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Plenty of buzzwords.- Yeah! So, you run the whole thing, don't you?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36As a funeral operative, which part of it do you...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Obviously, Dad runs the business and he meets families,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43where as I sort of... First job of the day, clean the cars...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Important.- And then, yeah, just go from there.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49First job of the day, go home, change your shirt.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50LAUGHTER
0:06:50 > 0:06:52That's a good point.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55What do you wear, generally, for work, obviously, on the day itself?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Grey striped trousers, waistcoat, white shirt, black tie,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- black jacket.- Every day?- Yeah. To clean the cars in as well.- Really?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Do you have some cuff protectors?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I just roll my sleeves up, get the guns out.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07LAUGHTER
0:07:07 > 0:07:10OK, now, Sam, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, Nathan's taken my answer, so...
0:07:13 > 0:07:18I'm not very good on 16th century. I think it was a bit before my time.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20LAUGHTER, GROANING AND BOOING
0:07:25 > 0:07:28What percentage disgusted now?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER
0:07:29 > 0:07:3494% disgusted. 6% so furious I'm going to have to hold you back.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER
0:07:35 > 0:07:40I'm going to have to take a punt at 'Ee-van' the Terrible, Russia.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Or Ivan. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Russia.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- (Yes!)- He's right. Why-yo-ee-yo!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Look at that! 75 for Russia.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yeah, and they used that software on him. He's 81% terrible.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- 81% terrible, 19% misunderstood.- Aw!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Poor old Ivan.- Yeah. - Nikki, welcome back.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Head-to-Head last time!- Yeah!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Head-to-Head. Very good. Remind us what you do, Nikki.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I am a cover teacher in a secondary school.- Oh, this...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18This has just opened something up for me now.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20If you and Ian,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23who we both discovered last time are cover teachers, are here...
0:08:23 > 0:08:24who's covering you?!
0:08:24 > 0:08:25LAUGHTER
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Hopefully a very good supply teacher.- That's the order of it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You have a cover teacher then... Teacher, cover teacher,
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- supply teacher.- Yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Erm, now, when you're not covering, what do you get up to, Nikki?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I like to plan weddings. A lot of my friends...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I seem to have, like, about three or four weddings a year.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Like, my friends, they're always getting married,
0:08:43 > 0:08:44and I'm always bridesmaid.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45So...
0:08:45 > 0:08:46AUDIENCE "AWWS"
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Aww!- Never the bride.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Aww! Well, you've got some holidays, don't you?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You get three holidays a year?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- You could start setting up the Nikki wedding industry.- Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Yeah, you should do this!- Yeah. - You should do it. I'd go to Nikki.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Nikki's Strategic Wedding Solutions, yeah, lovely.- Absolutely!
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Now, Nikki,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- what are you going to go for on this board of the 16th century?- Well...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10As I'm teaching history at the moment, this is going to be highly
0:09:10 > 0:09:12embarrassing if I get it wrong,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16but I'm drawing a blank here completely, so I'm going to
0:09:16 > 0:09:20go for the bottom one, and I'm going to say Christopher Columbus?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Christopher Columbus? OK. Christopher Columbus.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Let's see if that's right,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Bad luck, Nikki. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores 100 points.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It may very well not be the last 100 points of this round,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- though, so don't despair yet. - I tell you, as a history teacher,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I hope you're a very, very good wedding planner.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46LAUGHTER
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Me too. Could be getting my P45 soon.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49NIKKI CHUCKLES
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Thanks very much. Now, Chris!- Hi.- A warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Good to have you here. What do you do, Chris?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57So, I'm a civil servant at the moment.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Can we ask which part of the civil service?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yes, I work for Ofqual, which is the qualifications regulator.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I see, and you do that in Cambridge?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I do it in Coventry, so I commute every day to...
0:10:07 > 0:10:08SLIGHT CHEERING
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Oh! Excellent.- How about that? - Isn't that nice?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12We always have a party from Coventry in,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and they so seldom get a chance to do that and it's really nice.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's like going home, cos I was born in Rugby, which is
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- just outside Coventry.- Nice. How long does that take you?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Two hours each way. - Every day?- Every day.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Wow!- Yeah.- Now, Chris, this board's all yours.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Please talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.- Yeah, so...
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I think my dad took me to this battleground.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think that's Culloden. The other ones...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think Magellan is the Spanish conquistador,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40but I might be wrong there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Scott, the Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, maybe...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47But to be perfectly honest, I'm guessing at everything,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so I'm going to go top one, Culloden and, yeah, risk the wrath of my dad.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK. Culloden, says Chris. Let's see if Culloden's right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Ooh. I don't know what's worse -
0:11:03 > 0:11:06the 100 points or the wrath of your father but, anyway,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I'm afraid you've got both to contend with now, Chris.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That's an incorrect answer there.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Who'd have thought Leonardo da Vinci would be the best answer?- Yes!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Caused some trouble this board, but let's fill these in.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's not Culloden, it's actually your neck of the woods.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Flodden Field.- Yeah. Northumbria. Would have scored you five points.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24A terrific answer.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- The Cardinal is...- Cardinal Wolsey.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28As all fans of Wolf Hall will tell you. 42 for that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- The Royal Palace?- Hampton Court. - Hampton Court.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35That would have scored you 17. Now, the explorer who became
0:11:35 > 0:11:37the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Francis Drake.- Sir Francis Drake.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Would have scored you 27. And the Spanish conquistador
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- was Hernan Cortes.- Aah.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Very well done if you said that. 14 points.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So the best answer on the board is Flodden Field.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Well done if you said that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Thank you very much. OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Let's look at those scores. As Richard said, Nathan 51.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Leonardo da Vinci sorted you out there.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Nathan and Tash looking very strong at this point.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Then we travel up to 75, where we see Sam and Ian H.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04And then up to 100.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Chris and Sherrie and Nikki and Ian D are tied.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So, yes, Sherrie and Ian D, it's going to be between you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12We're going to come back down the line now.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18OK. Let's put seven more clues up on the board.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And here they are. More 16th century people, places and facts.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'll read those one last time.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Now, Sherrie, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Good to have you here. How do you and Chris know each other?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Chris is married to my sister.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Lucky enough to be married to my sister, I should say.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Very good. How long have they been married?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Ooh. Coming up to ten years next month?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Yeah.- Yeah.- Very good.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Now, Sherrie, what do you do?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36I'm a police officer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Are you? Which bit of the police, or just general police?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I work in the safeguarding hub.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So I work alongside partnerships,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46services to protect the most vulnerable members of the community.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Excellent. And what are your interests, Sherrie?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Photography is my new hobby. Very much into that.- New since when?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56About the last year or so. But it's hampered by funds.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I didn't realise quite how expensive it was when I first started.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Yeah. Cameras really expensive. So, what kicked it off?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I actually did a course at work.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Couple of years ago. And thought, I really like this.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Then didn't dabble in it very much.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Then about a year ago, thought, I'm going to take it up.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Take it up! Very nice.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Now, Sherrie, what are you going to go for?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18To be honest, I think I only roughly know two of those.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20So, it's a toss up between which one's going to be the lowest.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, I'm going to go for the top one and I'm going to say the Tudors.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The Tudors, says Sherrie.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27No red line for you, as you're joint high scorers.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's see how many people said the Tudors.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32It's quite right.
0:14:35 > 0:14:3654.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37APPLAUSE
0:14:37 > 0:14:39154 is your total.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Yeah. The Tudors. Weirdly low scores from our 100 on this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I think it's the second someone mentions history
0:14:46 > 0:14:49we have a slight blindness. I think everyone knows the answer to that.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- It's the second you put questions in that way it upsets them.- Yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Now, Ian D. You are also a cover teacher.- Yes. In Barnsley.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What are your interests, aside from teaching?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Table tennis, I play a lot of the sport.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I've played it since I was 11.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07In my previous jobs, I was a police officer, prison officer,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09and I was in the Royal Air Force
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and I've won all the championships of those respective jobs, as well.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14The table tennis championships.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16So, basically, you just go from table tennis...
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yes, from jobs to table tennis.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I see.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24So, which vocational table tennis table do you want to take over next?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I suppose the school's would be a good one.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29We had quite a good junior team
0:15:29 > 0:15:32and our school's won the Barnsley Championships a couple of years ago.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- That's good.- So that was good.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Under your tuition, or...- Yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It takes a lot of work to be able to get young people
0:15:38 > 0:15:40to a good standard at table tennis.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43There are quite a lot of good young table tennis players out there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47OK. Well, listen. We need a score of 53 or less from you, Ian.
0:15:47 > 0:15:4953 or less. How do you feel about that?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I know most of them but I think, perhaps,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53the best of them will be the bottom one
0:15:53 > 0:15:57and I will go with Machiavelli. The guy who wrote The Prince.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Machiavelli, says Ian D. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Here's your red line. Get below that, you're into round two.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07It's right.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Very well done indeed.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14That's a good answer. 21. Well done.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15APPLAUSE
0:16:15 > 0:16:16121 is your total.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Very well played, Ian.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Niccolo Machiavelli.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Of course, where we get Machiavellian from.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24- I had a hunch.- Yeah.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Now, Ian H, welcome.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Now, you run the whole funeral service.- Yes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- A funeral directors. - Funeral directors.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Do you have a favourite part of the service?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Really, looking after the people.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I find it very rewarding because you're helping people
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- at a very difficult time.- Yeah.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47What are your interests when you're not in the family business?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'm a Brighton season ticket holder.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Haven't had the best of seasons this year.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'm the manager of Worthing under-18s in the Ryman Youth League
0:16:56 > 0:16:59and I'm a director of Worthing Football Club, as well.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Do you come and do pep talks in the dressing room?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Motivational. Bit like David Brent!
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Very good. Yeah.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05LAUGHTER
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, you're on 75. If you can score 78, or less,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09you are safely into the next round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I think I'm going to go for the Spanish Armada,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15which was the name of the fleet of around 130 ships.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16OK. The Spanish Armada.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Here's your red line.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21If you can get below that, you are through to our next round.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Let's see how many people of our 100 said the Spanish Armada.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's right and you're through. Very well done.
0:17:30 > 0:17:3145.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34APPLAUSE
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Takes your total up to 120.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38That's another one that everyone knows, really.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And just 45 points.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43It was the largest fleet ever assembled at that time in history.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44130 ships.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47So, now, Tash. Look what Nathan's done
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- with his brilliant answering in the first round.- I know!
0:17:50 > 0:17:5251, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55you're still going to be in the next round. Tash, remind us what you do.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I work at the students union at Plymouth University.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And remind us what you like getting up to when you're not doing that.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So when I'm not doing that I quite often volunteer at the local zoo.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Obviously we've just bought a house, so a lot of decorating,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10and when I actually have real spare time I like to do a bit of
0:18:10 > 0:18:13sort of crafty things, so knitting and sewing, things like that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17That curtain's a bit annoying, isn't it? I mean, you know, it was...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Well, I made it originally so I'm quite happy...
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Well, I know but still, you know, the instruction was a cupboard, you know.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- It'll get there.- It'll get there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, I hope so, I just hope so, that's all I'm saying.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Tash, that board's all yours.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
0:18:31 > 0:18:36I'm thinking the artist could be Michelangelo but I could be wrong.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think the next one's then Shakespeare.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'm not sure about the monarch so the one I think I'm going to go with
0:18:42 > 0:18:46is the astronomer that I think is Copernicus.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Copernicus, says Tash.- I think. - OK, Copernicus.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52No red line for you for the wonderful reason that you're already through.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Let's see if Copernicus does you any favours.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's right.
0:19:03 > 0:19:0616! Look at that. APPLAUSE
0:19:06 > 0:19:08The lowest score of the entire round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10With Nathan, you have the lowest score of the first pass,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12there we are. 67 is your total.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Best answer on the board as well, Tash, so very well played.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Terrific answer. The Renaissance artist was Michelangelo,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21would've scored you 38 points.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23What do you think Shakespeare scored, "Bard of Avon"?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27You've got to hope in the 90s. 92.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- 41. - AUDIENCE GASPS
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- 41, that scored.- OK.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- There you go. And the six-day-old girl is...- Mary, Queen of Scots.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Mary, Queen of Scots and it would've scored you 24.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Wow.- Wow.- Wow-ee.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47you've only just got here, Chris and Sherrie, I'm sorry,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50we've got to send you home but you'll be back again next time
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and we'll look forward to that but in the meantime,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54thanks very much for playing. Sherrie and Chris.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57APPLAUSE
0:19:57 > 0:20:00But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And suddenly three pairs only remain.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09At the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, Tash and Nathan, after last time
0:20:11 > 0:20:13when we sent you home after Round One,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17here you are, lowest joint scorers and our lowest individual scorers
0:20:17 > 0:20:20as well there so, very well done in that round.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23And the remaining two pairs, only one point between you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Very close indeed, fantastic grouping so well done for that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Best of luck to all three pairs,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30our category for round two today is...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Ooh, it's a Words round. It's a Words round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:20:48 > 0:20:52as many words ending in T-A-N-T as they could.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Words ending T-A-N-T. Richard.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Yeah, looking for any word which has its own entry in oxforddictionaries.com
0:20:58 > 0:21:01English word section, please, that ends "..TANT".
0:21:01 > 0:21:04As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and that's up to May 2015.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08And we won't accept the word TANT itself.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK. Now, Nathan.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Words ending "..TANT".
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Always tough going first on these.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm going to play it relatively safe,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19cos despite being an English graduate I tend to be terrible at this.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22You really didn't have to tell us you were an English graduate!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You could have got off absolutely scot-free there.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I trust Tash. I think she's going to come up with a blinder.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Oh, I don't like that, that as a preamble's terrible.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So I'm going to say...CONSTANT.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK. CONSTANT.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said CONSTANT.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48APPLAUSE 34.
0:21:48 > 0:21:5034 for CONSTANT.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Yeah, pretty big score in a words round, CONSTANT.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55It means..."constant".
0:21:55 > 0:21:56LAUGHTER
0:21:56 > 0:21:59There we are, I thought as much. Sam...
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Oh... My mind's gone blank.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03OK...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So...STANT. S-T-A-N-T.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07STANT, says Sam.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK, let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19It just came... Brighton used to have a player called Paul Stant.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- So I thought I'd give it a go. - No, it was PHIL Stant.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well, I'm afraid Brighton let you down there, I'm really sorry.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27That scores you 100 points.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Not just Brighton let you down, Phil Stant himself - for not becoming more famous
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- and his name becoming so ubiquitous that it was lent to a word.- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Excellent. Now then, Nikki...
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Erm...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'm going to go with EXPECTANT.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Very good. EXPECTANT, we like that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said EXPECTANT.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58APPLAUSE Not bad. 19.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yeah, EXPECTANT very good answer -
0:23:03 > 0:23:06unlike EXPECT STANT which is what the Brighton team coach used to do.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08LAUGHTER Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Thanks, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1419, best score of the pass, Nikki.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Puts you and Ian D in good shape.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17And then up to 34,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19where we find Nathan and Tash.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And then up to 100, I'm afraid, Sam and Ian H.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22So Ian H, a low score from you
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and maybe it'll keep you in the game.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26We're going to come back down the line -
0:23:26 > 0:23:28can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Ian D...
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Ian D. We are looking for words ending "..TANT".
0:23:35 > 0:23:38If you can score 80 or less, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I've got two that come to mind.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The one I will go with is
0:23:43 > 0:23:44COMBUSTANT.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46COMBUSTANT.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Ooh...! I like that murmur from the audience, they like that.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52There's your red line, Ian D,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54you have to get below that with COMBUSTANT
0:23:54 > 0:23:57to be through to the next round. Let's see if it does it for you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02GROANING
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Oh...- Oh, dear.- I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh! Ian H, suddenly been thrown a lifeline there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 119.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Yeah, COMBUSTIBLE but not COMBUSTANT I'm afraid.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Right. Now then,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Ian, you know what you have to do. We need 18 or less from you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- It's got to be one of those really good words.- I'm going to go MUTANT.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27MUTANT.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Ooh, it's another murmur from the audience.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Last time they did that, it was wrong.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33LAUGHTER
0:24:33 > 0:24:34OK, here's your red line -
0:24:34 > 0:24:35get below that with MUTANT,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39you're into the head-to-head. Let's see how many of our 100 people said MUTANT.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE 22!
0:24:51 > 0:24:54122 is your total,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Ian D, and Nikki can heave a sigh of relief
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- over on the far podium there. Richard.- Yeah, not a bad answer,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03not quite good enough. "Having undergone mutation."
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Thank you very much.- MUTANT. - Indeed. Thank you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Now, Tash...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You have to score 87 or less.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Nathan had a lot of faith in you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Well, I've got two words that I'm fairly certain are correct,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19but I think I'm going to have to say BLATANT...?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21OK, Well, let's hope that's not too...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23obvious(!)
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Here's your red line -
0:25:24 > 0:25:25if you can get below that
0:25:25 > 0:25:28you are through to the head-to-head. Let's see how many said it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Very well done, did exactly what it had to do, BLATANT...
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Oh, look at that! 10.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40APPLAUSE
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Takes your total up to 43, very well done indeed.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Ironic that a word meaning "very obvious" is actually the best answer of the round so far, well played.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's one of those categories where there's a huge amount of words
0:25:52 > 0:25:55you will know here that have scored under 10 - a huge amount,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57you will know all of them. And you'll be furious,
0:25:57 > 0:25:58it's quite hard to get a grip on.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Have you got a word?- SEXTANT.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03SEXTANT would have scored you 11.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Oh, really?- Yeah. - In which case, CONCOMITANT.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Ah - CONCOMITANT, that sounds much more likely.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- It's a pointless answer.- Oh! Hooray. - Very well done.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12APPLAUSE
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I'll go through some of the lower scorers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I am an ASSISTANT, and it would have scored you 7.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21There's some really obvious words here - IRRITANT, 6, EQUIDISTANT, 6,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23ACCOUNTANT, 6.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- CONTESTANT would have scored you 5 points. - GROANING
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And especially those of you who are newcomers -
0:26:28 > 0:26:30DEBUTANT would have scored you 4 points.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34So if you'd been a DEBUTANT CONTESTANT you'd have got 9 points between the two of you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Now the pointless answers,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38the ones that nobody said....
0:26:38 > 0:26:42ADJUTANT, which is a bird but also a military role.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43ATTRACTANT.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47COMBATANT would have been pointless, well done if you said that.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49DECONGESTANT was a pointless answer.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52EXCITANT is a pointless answer, EXORBITANT is a pointless answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54See all these words that are so familiar to us,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56but they don't quite come to your head?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58INCAPACITANT, INHABITANT, PRECIPITANT.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Let's take a look at the ones that most people said,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04the biggest scorers of all.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06STANT not amongst them.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07There's CONSTANT, 42 -
0:27:07 > 0:27:11CONSTANT of course is someone who tries to defraud Phil Stant.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13LAUGHTER
0:27:13 > 0:27:14INSTANT is a tablet
0:27:14 > 0:27:16taken by Phil Stant.
0:27:16 > 0:27:1836 for that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And up at the top there, IMPORTANT
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- would have scored you 40 points. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So, at the end of our second round the pair who are heading home,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I'm sorry to say... Oh, Phil Stant just really...
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I was going to go IMPORTANT
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- and I came up with Phil Stant. - Oh...- Shocker.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Well, listen. You'll be back next time.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And on the evidence of today's performance
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm pretty sure you'll come this far and possibly further.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Look forward to that. Meantime, thanks very much, Ian and Sam!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Well, congratulations, Tash and Nathan, Nikki and Ian, you're now
0:27:57 > 0:28:02one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, you know the deal, it all gets a little bit easier from here on in -
0:28:08 > 0:28:11you can confer before you give your answers, and the first pair
0:28:11 > 0:28:14to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot. I think it'll be very close,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Famous Sams.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Going to show you five famous Samuels, Sammys or Samanthas now,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34can you identify the most obscure?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36OK, let's reveal our five famous Sams...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Five famous Sams.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Now, Tash and Nathan, you've been our low scorers so you will go first.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Feel free to confer.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- ..You sure? - Yeah, I can't think of her surname.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Right, Tash thinks she knows D,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15but she just can't quite get it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I can't remember her surname.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's really annoying.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Sorry, I don't know.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22We'll have to go E,
0:29:22 > 0:29:23and Samuel L Jackson.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Samuel L Jackson, say Tash and Nathan.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Now then, Nikki and Ian...
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Talk us through that board.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31We think A is Sammy Davis Jr.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34B, Sam Cameron.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36D, we've no idea about at all.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I think, but I could be
0:29:38 > 0:29:40completely and utterly wrong,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42that C could be Sam Peckinpah.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44We're not sure, so we'll go for...?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47We'll go with A, Sammy Davis Jr.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48A, Sammy Davis Jr.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49We have Samuel L Jackson
0:29:49 > 0:29:51and Sammy Davis Jr.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Tash and Nathan said Samuel L Jackson for E.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59It is him, of course...
0:30:03 > 0:30:0531.
0:30:08 > 0:30:1031 for Samuel L Jackson.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Now, Nikki and Ian have said that A is Sammy Davis Jr,
0:30:14 > 0:30:15let's see how many said that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18It is...
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Ooh, look at that! AUDIENCE:- Oh!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Popular choice there.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Which means, Tash and Nathan, well done, after one question you're 1-0.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Twice as famous as Shakespeare, Sammy Davis Jr.- Yeah! CHUCKLING
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Sam Cam also a very big scorer,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33she would have scored you 69 points.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34C, it's not Sam Peckinpah...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Samuel Beckett.- Samuel Beckett.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Would have scored you 12.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40And D,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42from Les Miserables, Samantha Barks.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Would have scored you 1 point.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Your second question - Nikki and Ian, you get to answer first
0:30:48 > 0:30:51but you have to win it to stay in the game so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55German States. Richard.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57We're going to show you the English names now
0:30:57 > 0:31:00of five German federal states, but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Can you fill in the gaps?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04OK, let's reveal our German states and here they are.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Nikki and Ian will go first.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28LOW MUTTERING
0:31:28 > 0:31:30We'll go for the bottom one,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32which we think is Thuringia.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Thuringia. Tor-ingia. OK, very good.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Now then, Tash and Nathan, which will you go for?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Do you want to fill in all the blanks?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I would love to, Alexander.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I did a road trip through Germany in September
0:31:45 > 0:31:47and I just didn't look at any signs, apparently.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I feel like I know all of them, but I...
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I think we'd get it wrong if we took a punt.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We'll go for the third one and Bavaria,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59hoping that theirs is incorrect.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00OK, Bavaria.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02So we have Thuringia and we have Bavaria.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06In the order they were given, Nikki and Ian went for Thuringia.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Oh, that's fantastic! What a great round, sir!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Three for Tor-ingia or Thuringia.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Now, Tash and Nathan have gone for Bavaria.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Got a bit of an uphill battle, Bavaria. But let's see, who knows?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Will it beat Thuringia?
0:32:37 > 0:32:38It's right.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Oh, there you go, there's your answer.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Very well done, Nikki and Ian.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Back in the game after two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Very much the Sammy Davis Jr of Germany, Bavaria.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Thuringia, that's a terrific answer, it's the best answer on the board.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Could not have been beaten, so very well played.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Top answer is another good score, Saarland...
0:32:57 > 0:32:59would have scored you 4.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And this Schleswig-Holstein...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05..would have scored you 15.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07And the fourth one is Brandenburg.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11That would've scored you 30.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15So here comes your third question, the decider.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Whoever wins this goes through to the final. It concerns...
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Richard.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26We're going to show you the names of five bands or groups now.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29They each contain a member who's won an Academy Award.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31We need you to tell us the member of these bands
0:33:31 > 0:33:33who's won an Academy Award, please.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37OK, let's reveal our five bands and here they are.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Now then, Tash and Nathan, you go first this time.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54LOW WHISPERING
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I think I know three of them, but...
0:33:57 > 0:34:00This answer could potentially be quite low.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- Going to say 30 Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto.- Jared Leto.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Jared Leto. Now, Nikki and Ian, talk us through the board.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- We only know two.- We can't, yeah, we can only tell you two.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15We think the Genesis one is Phil Collins
0:34:15 > 0:34:18and The Commodores is Lionel Richie.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20But we think they've got the best answer there,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- so we're just going to have to go Lionel Richie?- Yeah.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Yeah, go Lionel. - You're going to go Lionel Richie.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28So we have Jared Leto and Lionel Richie.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Now, Tash and Nathan said Jared Leto.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35It is right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4216. 16 for Jared Leto.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Nikki and Ian have gone for Lionel Richie.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Let's see how many people said that.
0:34:56 > 0:34:5731!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Very well done. Tash and Nathan, after three questions,
0:35:02 > 0:35:03you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Very well played. There's a couple of answers out there
0:35:06 > 0:35:08that would've won you the points. The top one is one of them,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10actually. There is a sort of clue there.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14She won for best original song an Academy award, Carly Simon.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Carly Simon would have scored you 2 points.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Genesis was Phil Collins as he suggested, it's a big score,
0:35:19 > 0:35:22though, 57. And D12, this would've won you the point as well.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Is it Eminem?- It's Eminem.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It would've scored you 10 points.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:35:29 > 0:35:32were Nikki and Ian. It was a head-to-head last time,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34a head-to-head this time, but three very good answers.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I'm afraid, though, this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Great to have you on both shows.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Thank you so much for playing, Nikki and Ian.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46But for Tash and Nathan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Congratulations, Tash and Nathan.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54You've seen off all of the competition
0:35:54 > 0:35:56and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Well, a very strong and consistent performance.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Lowest scores in every single round.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18It's all looking very good for this round.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21However, as you know, you'll have to choose your category
0:36:21 > 0:36:23from the four that we put up on the board.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25What would you like to see up there?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I think, for me, sport or geography.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31And for me, sport or geography, so he could get the best answer!
0:36:31 > 0:36:32That would be great.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Yeah, nicely put. Well, let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We have got...
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Films?- Yeah.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Yeah, we can work together.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Yeah, definitely not the top or bottom.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53I don't trust myself on boxing.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Yeah.- OK, modern comedy films it is. Richard.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58OK, we're going to show you three comedy films now from 2014.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01We're looking for the name of any actor accredited in any of these,
0:37:01 > 0:37:03please, according to IMDB.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Looking for anyone accredited as appearing in...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19So any actor accredited in any of those three films according to IMDB.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Very best of luck.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22OK, now, as always,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27All you need to win the jackpot is for one of those answers
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yep.- Yes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Your time starts now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Bad Neighbours, James Franco's brother, he was in Scrubs as well.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Oh.- Obviously his surname is Franco.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Whatever his first name is.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44We could even go with three first names
0:37:44 > 0:37:47and have Franco at the end of all three, but that would be stupid.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52The Australian from Bridesmaids. Do you know the actress' name?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I can't even think of an Australian in Bridesmaids. Mrs Brown's...
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- They are all surname O'Carroll, the people in that.- Really?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Yeah, but I can't remember their first names.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Should be...- So that's helpful!
0:38:03 > 0:38:05We could take a punt on some Irish names and add O'Carroll.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Inbetweeners 2, there's Simon Bird. - Yeah, that would be really obvious.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11The teacher, the tall guy. But he's obvious as well.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- What's his name, something Davies? - Greg Davies.- Is that his name?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Possibly. But he won't be pointless.- OK.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Well, he might be, it's a shout. He's only in it briefly.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Greg Davies. I think the Franco... - 10 seconds left.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- ..could be...- Tom?- Dan?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Dan?- I have no idea.- Something.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32It's the annoying bridesmaid in Bridesmaids.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36OK, I'm afraid that's your time up.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I think we'll go Greg Davies... - Mrs Brown's Boys, Kieran O'Carroll?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Kieran O'Carroll. - I might take a punt on Franco.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Shall we take a punt on the Franco or do you want another Irish name
0:38:50 > 0:38:51- and O'Carroll?- No, you go.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- Dan Franco.- Dan Franco?- For Bad Neighbours.- OK, there we are.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?- Kieran O'Carroll.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02So the one you think is most likely to be pointless is Kieran O'Carroll.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05We will put that last. Least likely to be pointless...
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Dan Franco, cos it's not his name.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Dan Franco. And we put Greg Davies in the middle.- Yes.- OK, very good.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order then
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and here they are.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17We've got Dan Franco,
0:39:17 > 0:39:21we've got Greg Davies and we've got Kieran O'Carroll.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Well, they look like really good answers.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I mean, who knows if you've just made them up?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29But they might turn out to be great. One of them might even be pointless.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And if it were that you won 2,000 quid,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33what would you do with it, Tash?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- This is a bit of a contentious issue.- I thought...
0:39:35 > 0:39:37There's a cupboard that needs building, isn't there?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40There is a cupboard that needs building. Yeah, a couple of things.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42My brother has just moved out to Australia,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45so I'd quite like to go and visit him, so that's quite a good thing.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49And I'm sure Nathan is about to tell you that he would like to
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- get a hot tub, so...- Nathan, what would you like to do with two grand?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Hot tub.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Perfect. OK, now, best of luck.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Three answers on the board, let's hope they're all right
0:40:00 > 0:40:02and at least one of them is pointless.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Dan Franco is the first name you made up.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08In this case, we were looking for actors in Bad Neighbours.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11For £2,000, let's see if it's right, let's see how many
0:40:11 > 0:40:13of our 100 people said Dan Franco.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Bad luck. An incorrect answer,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Your next answer was Greg Davies,
0:40:24 > 0:40:28in this case we were looking for actors in the Inbetweeners 2.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Let's see if it's right, for £2,000, let's see if it is pointless.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Greg Davies, how many people said it?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It's right.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Your first answer was Dan Franco, which I'm afraid was incorrect,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44but your second answer Greg Davies is absolutely right,
0:40:44 > 0:40:46taking us down through the teens into single figures.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Down it goes, still going down...
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Oh, to four! To four.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58That's a very good answer, very strong, sadly not pointless,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:01 > 0:41:02which is Kieran O'Carroll.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope that this is correct.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Let's hope it's pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09For £2,000, let's see how many people said Kieran O'Carroll
0:41:09 > 0:41:12was an actor in Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Oh, bad luck!
0:41:18 > 0:41:19I'm sorry.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Well, listen, that was a very game attempt.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26They were tough and that minute is never long enough.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:30 > 0:41:32answer, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34It'll roll over onto the next show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36But what a strong performance right across the show.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Low score after low score from you,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40very good indeed, from Copernicus right on.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43You get a Pointless trophy each to take home.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46So very, very well done. Tash and Nathan, well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48APPLAUSE
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Very well played, and Tash, your instinct was right
0:41:51 > 0:41:54about the O'Carrolls. There are five O'Carroll's in that film.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Brendan O'Carroll, who was Mrs Brown, wasn't a pointless answer.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59But the other four were pointless answers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02So if you'd stumbled across Danny O'Carroll, Eilish O'Carroll,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Fiona O'Carroll or Jamie O'Carroll,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06all of them would've been pointless answers.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Now, James Franco's brother is Dave Franco, not Dan Franco.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- It would have scored you 2 points, as well.- So that's fine.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17We will start with Bad Neighbours.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Andy Samberg also a pointless answer for that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Inbetweeners 2, a lot of the parents played by
0:42:27 > 0:42:29brilliant British comedy actors.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Alex McQueen, who plays Neil's dad, is a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Jay's dad, David Schaal, is a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Lucy Cohu, who plays Nikki, and both of Simon's parents,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38the brilliant Martin Trenaman and Robin Weaver,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41also pointless answers, well done if you said any of those.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46We'll move on to Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie. There's Danny O'Carroll.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Keith Duffy from Boyzone is a pointless answer.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Robert Bathurst and Shane Byrne, all of those pointless.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Tash and Nathan.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I'm so sorry you didn't manage to win the jackpot,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02but you have played so well today.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Thank you so much, Tash and Nathan, great contestants.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Well, sadly, Tash and Nathan didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:11 > 0:43:14it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
