0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
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 > 0:00:27the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, my name is Andy and this is one of my best friends, Joe,
0:00:37 > 0:00:38and we are from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Scott from Essex and this is my friend Becki from Leeds.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Barrie from Bolton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47This is my partner Linda from Bootle.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Emma and this is my husband David
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and we are both from Darlington.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We will find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07a man so clever he knows who let the dogs out.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hey, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.- How are you?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- I will never tell who let the dogs out.- No.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- I promised I wouldn't. - You wouldn't.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25But you would not believe it! Not kidding you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now, I'm slightly worried about today's show.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Yes.- I'm slightly worried about some of our teams today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I'm worried about Scott and Becki, podium two,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- cos they were with us last time and joined the 200 club.- Yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Don't want to see any more of that today, Scott and Becki.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'm worried about Barrie from Bolton just cos he looks like trouble.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43He's got trouble written all over him, hasn't he?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And I'm worried on podium one because Andy, you may know,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- went to my old school.- Ohh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Warden Park comprehensive down in Sussex.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Now, we've had two teams who have come on this show
0:01:53 > 0:01:55have been to my school before.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The first team came on and got knocked out in the first
0:01:57 > 0:01:58round in the first show
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and then on the second show, they got knocked out in the first round.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Now, we had another pair come on from my school,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05in the first show, they got knocked out on the first round.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But the second show, they got knocked out
0:02:07 > 0:02:09in the first round as well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So, you know, I fear about them as well.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The only good news we have are Emma and David who were lovely last time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Did very well last time.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19That's the only ray of sanity I think we have on today's show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21OK. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now, Ian and Sam didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:24 > 0:02:26so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, today's jackpot, the biggest we've had for a while is...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33There we are! You see?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42So here's the only rule.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The only rule you have to remember - the pair with the highest score
0:02:45 > 0:02:50at the end of each round will be eliminated, so keep your scores down.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Best of luck. Our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's Famous People.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00who is going to go second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16HE LAUGHS
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh, come on! Come on, everybody.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We've got someone from my old school here,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- don't embarrass me in front of them. - Famous Rogers, Richard.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Yeah, last-minute change on what this round is actually about.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We are actually going to show you seven clues on each pass to
0:03:29 > 0:03:31famous people known by the name Roger.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Just have to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36There's going to be seven on the first pass, seven on the second,
0:03:36 > 0:03:3714 Rogers to have a go in at home.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Good luck.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40LAUGHTER
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Come on! Really?- Really?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49OK. Here's our first board of Rogers. And we have got...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'll read those one last time.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Andy, a very warm welcome here. - Thank you very much.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What do you do, Andy?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I am a producer for a creative agency,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46so we make websites and magazines and do branding and stuff.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- That sounds quite fun. - It is really fun.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50And I'm actually lucky enough to work with some of my best
0:04:50 > 0:04:52friends, so, yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Did you bring the friends in or did they bring you in or did
0:04:54 > 0:04:56you start the creative agency yourself?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, actually, it was the CEO of the company, Danny,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02he started it himself and eight...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04eight or nine years ago, along with some friends,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07and together, it's grown and grown.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And, yeah, I started working there about four years ago.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Very good indeed.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Which region of London are you based in?- I'm from Shoreditch.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I was hoping you're going to say that. Of course.- Yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- I live and work there. - You live and work...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- You live and breathe Shoreditch. - It's in my blood.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's in your blood. Now, Andy, how do you find this board of Rogers?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, I think I'm going to go
0:05:27 > 0:05:29with Only Fools And Horses,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- which I believe is Roger Lloyd Pack. - Roger Lloyd Pack says Andy.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Let's see if it's right.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Let's see how many of our 100 said Roger Lloyd Pack.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Still going down. Still going down.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Look at that, 20. Well done, Andy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I think that's great.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Good start to the show.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Great answer, Andy. Very well played.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You are in serious danger of being the first person ever
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- from Warden Park in the second round.- Don't tempt fate, Richard.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00No, I'm just saying at the moment, it looks good.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's the best answer we've ever had from someone who went to our school.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I'll take it.- That's good.- Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09That is good. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Becki, welcome back.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We discovered last time you are a criminologist.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15What are your great hobbies? What are the things that excite you?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Walking and I also foster dogs as well.- How many dogs have you got?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22None at the moment because the last few that we've had have not
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- been great with the two cats that I've got.- Ah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But hopefully we'll be getting some soon.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- How quickly do you discover how well they get on with cats?- Erm...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Not quickly enough, for the cats, unfortunately.- I was going to say.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Cos they might settle down and get on like a house on fire. You never know.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I think I do.- You think you do? - I don't think they will.- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45OK. Right, what are you going to go for? Which of the board of Rogers?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I only know one and it's probably
0:06:48 > 0:06:50going to be quite a high-scorer
0:06:50 > 0:06:52so I'm going to go with the
0:06:52 > 0:06:54James Bond one and say Roger Moore.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK. Roger Moore says Becki. Brave. Let's see if it's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It is right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Ooh, 72.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07APPLAUSE
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- 72. Roger Moore, Richard. - Yeah, Roger Moore, of course.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Played James Bond in seven films, you know.- Yeah, did he?- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What about that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Barrie. Barrie.- Hi.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Welcome here from Bolton.- Yes.- Now, you and Linda are a couple.- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Yes.- I'm going to ask a very indiscreet question here, but you...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Linda is from Bootle.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Yes.- And you are from Bolton. You maintain your coupledom at a remove?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36We commute.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38ALL LAUGH
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Yeah, you commute.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I'm retired and Linda can technically retire
0:07:42 > 0:07:43later on this year.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I see. And what do you do with your retirement?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Oh, it's crown green bowls, me. Crown green bowls.- Very good.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Excellent. Are you a nifty crown green bowler?- Oh, yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I play for seven teams.- Seven teams?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I'm the away captain for the Bolton team.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I'm an auditor for two teams, president of a league
0:08:02 > 0:08:03and I run a league.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- That's not retirement, Barrie!- No.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- And I'm missing a match today. - Oh! Oh, I'm sorry.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm sorry we're keeping you away(!)
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Barrie, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Well, I've had a look,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19there's too many Rogers knocking about for me, but...
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I used to do a lot of running at one time
0:08:21 > 0:08:25so I'd like to go for knighted British runner, Roger Bannister.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Roger Bannister says Barrie. Roger Bannister.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's right. Well, 72 is our high score.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- You passed it... 59.- Ooh!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39..for Roger Bannister.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Well played, Barrie.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Yeah, famously ran the first sub-four-minute mile,
0:08:46 > 0:08:47but was he any good at crown green bowls?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- I don't think so.- No-oh-oh.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Now then. Emma, welcome back.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Now, it was Round Two we said goodbye to you last time.- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- You've got to be hoping to go further than that.- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Remind us what you do, Emma.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I work in student loans,
0:09:02 > 0:09:07dealing with all the university applications and things like that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Very good. And what do you like getting up to up there in Darlington?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I like to read.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm quite into a Stephen King at the minute.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22I like... I've got two dogs that takes a lot of time up and, yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Very good. Now, listen, Emma, you're the last person to have this board,
0:09:25 > 0:09:26so if you wanted, you could
0:09:26 > 0:09:30take us through all of those Rogers that are as yet unspoken for.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I only know two and they've gone, so I'm going to have to guess.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39There's only another Roger I think I know and it's Roger Federer. So...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43AUDIENCE CHUCKLES
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The Cameroon footballer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51LAUGHTER
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Is that what you want to give as your answer?- Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58For the Cameroon footballer, Roger Federer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Let's see how we do with that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Emma. I'm afraid not Roger Federer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10That scores you 100 points. You are not way out in front, though.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Emma, do you remember at the very start of the show I said
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I was worried about all the podiums apart from yours?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Now look what you've done.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21The Cameroon footballer was Roger Milla.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Known for the dance with the corner flag. 14 points for that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Now, let's look at the... Actually, it's hard ones that are left.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- The singer-songwriter is one that people might know.- Roger Whittaker.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Roger Whittaker. My mum's favourite, Roger Whittaker.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Would have scored you 32 points.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Now, the actor - Doctor Who fans will know this. It's Roger Delgado.
0:10:41 > 0:10:438 points for that. Now, the bottom one.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45When that came up, I thought, "That's obvious,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47"that's David Niven." And I thought, "Oh, hold on."
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Hang on.- "He's not called Roger." - Exactly.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's Roger Livesey.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is the answer to that. Would have scored you 5 points.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54The best answer on the board.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Thanks, Richard. We are halfway through the round.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Let's take a look at those scores. Andy, exemplary start to the round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Look at that, Andy and Joe looking very strong at this point.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Then we travel up to 59, quite a hike,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07but Barrie and Linda, that is where you are.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Up to 72, Becki and Scott.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Not too bad. Now, Emma and Dave.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Now, Dave, you get the first choice of the next board
0:11:14 > 0:11:16so find a really nice low score.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19And let's hope that keeps you in so we can see
0:11:19 > 0:11:20you beyond the second round this time.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22We'll come back down the line.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK. We'll put seven more Rogers up on the board and here they are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31We've got...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Now, Dave, there we are. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Remind us what you do, Dave.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- I work for a telecommunications company.- That's right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- And your hobbies, Dave?- Football when I can, travelling as much as I can.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I like doing a bit of drawing as well when I get the chance as well.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- That's good. What sort of drawing do you do?- Anything really.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I do like if I can do a portrait of somebody or something like that,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I tend to lean towards that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39But I'll draw anything.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Cartoons, caricatures, things like that?- More still life.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- More still life.- Still life, OK. - More serious.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK. Now, Dave, what are you going to go for?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48It has to be a low scorer, David.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50We can't say goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Erm...I'll have to take a bit of a risk
0:12:52 > 0:12:53and I will go for the bottom one.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And I'll go for Roger Daltrey.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Roger Daltrey...- For The Who, yeah. - ..says Dave.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59No red line as you're the high-scorers at the moment,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01but let's see how many people said Roger Daltrey.
0:13:06 > 0:13:0850.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10APPLAUSE
0:13:10 > 0:13:1350 takes your total up to 150.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah, Roger Daltrey, he lives on the next street along from me,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Roger Daltrey. And all the local cabbies say he's very nice.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25I bet. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then. Linda.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Linda, welcome here from Bootle. - Thank you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31So, what do you do that you're going to retire from fairly shortly?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I'm what is known as a selling champ in work.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So basically I'm a meeter and greeter as you come into the store
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I work in.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44I have a microphone and I let people know what is on offer that day
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and the production lines.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50So I help out as well anybody who has any difficulties
0:13:50 > 0:13:53whatsoever in choosing anything.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I take them to the aisle.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Say, "Is what you prefer? Is that what you prefer?"
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I've noticed you're still holding the microphone there.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Well, yes. It's a force of habit. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I'm getting a bit of feedback on that, Linda.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Now, Linda, you have to score 90 or less. I think you can do that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, I know the one for Nookie Bear.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I can see his face but I can't think
0:14:14 > 0:14:16of his second name, unfortunately.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So, I'm just going to have to take
0:14:19 > 0:14:21a punt at Roger Savage.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23OK, Roger Savage. Here is your red line.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's nice and high but you have to get below it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Let's see how many people said Roger Savage. Is it right?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Ooh, I'm sorry, Linda. Not Roger Savage as it turns out.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The round is not yet over so let's not get too upset,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42but 159 is your total.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Yes, sorry Linda.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I think Roger Savage is character in the Fifty Shades books, I'm afraid.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48LAUGHTER
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Thanks, Richard. Scott, welcome back.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Now then, what do you do, Scott?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- I'm a portfolio manager for a wealth management company.- That's right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And what are your hobbies, Scott?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm big into my sport, especially football.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Had a season-ticket at West Ham about 12 years.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- But I had to give it up.- You had to give it up?- I had to give it up.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14My wife gave birth to our daughter not too long ago
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- so I made the sacrifice. - She said that's it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- That was it for the season tickets. - That was it, season ticket.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Got to be a dad now.- Well, no, but part of your dad duties,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25though, is then she's got to be brought up in the way of West Ham.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Absolutely. - Man U straight back there.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30All that screaming and crying and puking, and then you have a child!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32LAUGHTER
0:15:32 > 0:15:36So, Scott. You are on 72, you have to score 86 or less.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39So, I think I'm going to go for the top answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Mr Men series is by Roger Hargreaves.- Roger Hargreaves.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44OK, I'll be interested to see how far down the column
0:15:44 > 0:15:45you get with that.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Very popular series. But there is your red line.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It's right and you've done it. You're through.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Oh, it's a great answer. Look at that.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You didn't need to worry on this score of Roger Hargreaves.
0:15:57 > 0:16:0028 is your score. That takes your total up to 100.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Well played, Scott. So much better than last time, isn't it?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Terrific stuff. Also created the Little Miss series of books as well.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Indeed. Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Joe.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Hi.- Welcome. What do you do, Joe?
0:16:12 > 0:16:17I am deputy editor of a woman's real life monthly magazine.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- A real life magazine?- Yeah. - What's a real life magazine?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's lots of stories, kind of like scandalous,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27salacious stories about kind of, you know, women who have lost
0:16:27 > 0:16:31a lot of weight or been conned by their kind of love rat husbands.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33That just sounds amazing.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Joe, so how do you get hold of your scandalous stories?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Just a mixture, really.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40People write in sometimes with them
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and sometimes scouring through Internet forums.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- OK, so you never actually go and meet them?- Sometimes we do, yeah.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Joe, what do you make of Barrie and Linda,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50this whole thing of living apart and...
0:16:50 > 0:16:51You've got a story there, yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54The Bootle and Bolton thing, something is up.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Bootle, Bolton thing, yeah. That's an interesting story.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Now, the great news is you are already through.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- It doesn't matter what you score. - Thank you, Andy.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Talk us through this board and see
0:17:02 > 0:17:05if you can name any of those other Rogers.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08The only one I really knew was the Mr Man author,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13so I'm going to go with the Swiss tennis player and say Roger Federer.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Roger Federer. OK, well, there we are. Roger Federer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18No red line, you're through.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Let's see how many people said Roger Federer.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:2679. APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Takes your total up to 99.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's been sort of a haunting presence across the whole round,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Roger Federer, hasn't he? One way or another. Finally revealed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:4079 points. Now, the best answer is the MP.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- It's Roger Allam.- Roger Allam, the wonderful Roger Allam.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46You'd totally recognise him, his voice is extraordinary.
0:17:46 > 0:17:474 points for that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- The drummer in Duran Duran? - Roger Taylor.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50One of the many Roger Taylors, yup.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Would have scored you 15.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Now, the ventriloquist whose face you could see. Roger De Courcy.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59If you said that, 21 points.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- And the philosopher, scientist and Franciscan friar?- Roger Bacon.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Roger Bacon. That's a great name for a friar.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07LAUGHTER
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Would have scored you 6 points.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, Roger Allum the best answer on that board.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:18:15 > 0:18:16with their high score of 159,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm so sorry, Linda and Barrie.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20We will see you again next time
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and we are already looking forward to that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25But meantime, thanks very much indeed. Linda and Barrie!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:27 > 0:18:30For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38And so the three pairs remain. But well done, all three of you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41That was a very, very close round. Very closely fought.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Well done to Andy for the lowest individual score.- Thank you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Andy and Joe are the lowest combined score.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But then Scott and Becki, you're only one point ahead of them.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52And then you aren't that far ahead either, Emma and Dave.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54So, yes, I think this will be very exciting.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Our category for Round Two today...
0:19:00 > 0:19:01It's Academy Awards.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:02 > 0:19:04who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24..as they could. Films nominated at the 2015 awards ceremony.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Yep, we are looking for the name of any film nominated in any
0:19:27 > 0:19:31category at all at the 2015 Academy Award ceremony,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32the Oscars ceremony.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So, any film nominated for any acting award, any film award,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38any short film, any documentary, animated film,
0:19:38 > 0:19:39all that kind of stuff.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Any film nominated for any category in those 2015 Oscar awards.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Thanks very much indeed. Now, Andy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Alexander. Hi.- Andy. How are you feeling about this?
0:19:52 > 0:19:57I believe that the winner of the Best International Film was
0:19:57 > 0:20:00a film called Eda, or Ida, I'm not sure how it's pronounced.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Eda or Ida, we'll accept 'ei-da' - I-D-A, I think.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Let's see... LAUGHTER
0:20:06 > 0:20:09..how many of our 100 people thought of that.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's right.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Andy, that has the ring of a low score about it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Sure enough, look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's pointless.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,250.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It scores you nothing. Very, very well done indeed.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Brilliant answer. Very well played, Andy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35As you say, it won the Best Foreign Language Film.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Are you absolutely sure you went to Warden Park?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- LAUGHTER - I'm going to need to see some records somewhere.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Becki.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I don't even know this is the name of a film. Child 44.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Child 44 says Becki. OK, let's see if it's right.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Let's see how many of our 100 said Child 44.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Bad luck, Becki.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Yeah, a book has been filmed as well
0:21:07 > 0:21:09but not nominated for any Oscars, I'm afraid.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Thanks, Richard. Now then, Emma.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Erm, I'm just going to have a guess at Fifty Shades of Grey.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Fifty Shades of Grey says Emma. Let's see if that's right
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and how many of our 100 people said it if it is.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Ooh, bad luck, Emma.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Another maximum score there of 100.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah, again, that's been a book and they filmed it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I don't know if you know that.- Yes.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- But weirdly untroubled, the Oscars, no, in 2015.- No.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40OK. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Let's take a look at those scores. It's very close.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45LAUGHTER
0:21:45 > 0:21:49In some...departments. Anyway, Andy, very well done. Fantastic.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Thanks.- Eda, Ida, there we are.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Andy and Joe looking pretty strong at this point I would say.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Then, yes, we have Emma and Dave and Becki and Scott tied on 100.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, Dave and Scott, it is between the pair of you. Let's have...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Please, let's have some good answers on this next pass or else
0:22:04 > 0:22:06we will go into the state of lockdown.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I need hardly say any more on that subject.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19So, Dave, remember, we are looking for any film that received any
0:22:19 > 0:22:23kind of nomination in the 2015 Oscars ceremony.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24All right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26OK, it's been a while since I've been able to get to the
0:22:26 > 0:22:30pictures, so... I think this might have been one.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'll have a crack at The Imitation Game.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35The Imitation Game says Dave.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Scott's doing the traditional dance of someone who's just
0:22:38 > 0:22:42had their best answer nicked. The Imitation Game, let's see...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45No red line for you as you are the joint high-scorers.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Let's see how many people said it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Not bad. 21.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00121 is your total.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Good answer, David.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Nominated for eight awards including Benedict Cumberbatch
0:23:05 > 0:23:06for Best Actor
0:23:06 > 0:23:08and won one which was for Best Adapted Screenplay.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Thanks, Richard. Now then, Scott, there we are. You have a target.- Yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16We need 20 or less from you, otherwise it is farewell.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I know there was a film about Stephen Hawking,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'm just trying to remember what it's called.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I think it was called The Theory Of Everything.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26That is going to be your answer, The Theory Of Everything.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Here is your red line.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Let's see if The Theory Of Everything can do as well for you,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34compared to The Imitation Game as it did for Eddie Redmayne.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Oh, dear. Bad luck.
0:23:44 > 0:23:4630 for The Theory Of Everything.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Takes your total up to 130.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51And that was nominated for five Oscars.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Also won one, obviously, for Eddie Redmayne as Best Actor.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Joe, great news.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It doesn't matter what you score, you will go through anyhow.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- But, let's just see if you can do as well as Andy.- All right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06But see if you can do better. ANDY LAUGHS
0:24:06 > 0:24:11I've been very lucky. I'm not that strong on film, I must admit.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14But I think I remember seeing Julianne Moore was
0:24:14 > 0:24:17nominated for an Oscar for Still Alice.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Still Alice says Joe. No red line, you are already through.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Let's see how many people said Still Alice.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25It's right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It also has a ring of a low score about it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And it sure enough has.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38There we are. 2 for Still Alice. Taking your total up to 2.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Well played, Joe.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Yes, she won Best Actress Oscar for her role in Still Alice.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Now, let's take you through some of the pointless answers.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Captain America: The Winter Soldier
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes both nominated for visual effects.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Maleficent was nominated for costume.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Mr Turner nominated for four Oscars.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Nightcrawler, that was nominated for Best Screenplay.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya was nominated for Best Animated Film.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Virunga, which is a documentary, nominated for Best Documentary.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Wild, nominations for Laura Dern
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and Reese Witherspoon for acting awards for that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20X-Men: Days Of Future Past also nominated for Best Visual Effects.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Let's take a look at the top three.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24A couple of familiar films in here.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27The Imitation Game, 21.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Birdman would have scored you 26.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34And The Theory Of Everything,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36actually the biggest answer of all on 30.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid that pair we are
0:25:40 > 0:25:44saying our final goodbye to, it's Scott and Becki.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I'm so sorry. That was a tough round for you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yes, Child 44, Becki, an unfortunate answer.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But, I mean, it is a book, it is a film.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Yeah, just an incorrect answer. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you
0:25:56 > 0:25:58but thanks very much for playing, Scott and Becki.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01APPLAUSE
0:26:01 > 0:26:04But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Very well done, Andy and Joe, Emma and Dave.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:14 > 0:26:17and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, you know what happens now.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26You can start playing as teams,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:45 > 0:26:472015 Formula 1 Drivers. Richard.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'll show you five pictures now of people who
0:26:49 > 0:26:51competed in the 2015 Formula 1 championship.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Can you identify the most obscure?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five Formula 1 drivers.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56And here they are.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22There we are. Five Formula 1 drivers from the 2015 season.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Now, Andy and Joe, you've been our low-scorers so far
0:27:25 > 0:27:26so you will go first.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We'd like to go with A,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and we think that's Jenson Button.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43A, Jenson Button say Andy and Joe.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Now then, Emma and Dave, the board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I'd love to. Don't watch Formula 1.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53E is, well, that's obviously going to be higher than
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Jenson Button, I would've thought, is Lewis Hamilton.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00We'll have a guess at C at Nico Rosberg.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You're going to say Nico Rosberg for C.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06So, we have Jenson Button and we have Nico Rosberg.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Andy and Joe said Jenson Button for A.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Let's see if that's right
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and if it is, let's see how many people said Jenson Button.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17That's right. Where's it going to stop?
0:28:17 > 0:28:2065. APPLAUSE
0:28:22 > 0:28:2665. Emma and Dave have said Nico Rosberg for C.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31But is it right is the crucial question.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It is right.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It is Nico Rosberg and it wins you the point.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Look at that.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Very well done indeed. 13.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Which means, Emma and Dave, you've nicked it after one question.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48You are up one-nil.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49That's a stroke of luck, isn't it?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Very nice, Nico Rosberg.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I think the five of them together, they look like Coldplay.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57LAUGHING: Yeah, they do!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01B, lead singer of Coldplay is Sebastian Vettel.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Would have scored you 19.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06D, the drummer of Coldplay,
0:29:06 > 0:29:07that is Romain Grosjean.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Very well done if you said him. 2 points.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13And E, it is the biggest scorer of all as you expected.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Lewis Hamilton beats Jenson Button,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17would have scored you 73 points.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21So, here comes your second question.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Emma and Dave get to answer it first, but Andy and Joe,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26you have to win this one to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It concerns...
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Exotic Islands. Richard.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I'll show you the names of five islands from around the world now,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39but we've missed out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42OK. Let's reveal our five exotic islands, and here they are.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57I'll read those one last time.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Now then, Emma and Dave will go first this time.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14(I think the first one could be Phuket.)
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- (The second would be Hawaii.- Yeah.)
0:30:18 > 0:30:20(I don't know any of the others, do you?)
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- (No. Go with the top one then.) - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25All right, we think the first one is Phuket.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28OK, Phuket or 'Pooket', say Emma and Dave.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Now then, Andy and Joe, do you want to talk us through the other ones?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Well, obviously, number two is Hawaii.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38But we are not going to go for that one.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I think that the fourth one down,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Malaysia, is Penang.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Penang say Andy and Joe. Penang. So, we have Phuket and Penang.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Emma and Dave said Phuket.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Phuket.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54It is right.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5966 for Phuket.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Andy and Joe, meanwhile, have said Penang.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10It is right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14And it wins it back for you. Well done.
0:31:14 > 0:31:1643 for Penang.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Which means after two questions, it is one-all.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well played, Andy and Joe. You did well to avoid Hawaii as well.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28It's a huge scorer. 96 points for Hawaii.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30The best answer on the board is this next one down,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33it is La Digue.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36La Digue in the Seychelles. Would have scored you 5 points.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38And you could just about guess the bottom one.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40You can fill in the gaps.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41It's Boa Vista.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Boa Vista in the Cabo Verde islands. 10 points for that.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48So, here comes your third and final question.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:50 > 0:31:53and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54It concerns...
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Words That Are Palindromes, Richard.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Yeah, five clues now, two answers which are spelt the same
0:32:02 > 0:32:03way forwards as they are backwards.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04The team that gives us
0:32:04 > 0:32:07the most obscure answer is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Very best of luck.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Thank you, Richard. Let's reveal our five palindrome clues.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13And here they are...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33ALEXANDER REPEATS CLUES
0:32:45 > 0:32:48So, Andy and Joe will go first this time.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- This is tricky.- Yeah.- Erm...
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- I think we are going to go with the third one down.- Yeah.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58And say civic.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Civic say Andy and Joe. Civic.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04So, Emma and Dave, that board is all yours.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Er...
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Yeah, that's the one I was going to go for.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Well, I think it's going to be ours, so good luck.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12We'll go with the female sheep and that will be ewe.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14OK, you're going to go for ewe.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17OK, ewe. We have civic and we have ewe. Andy and Joe said civic.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23It's right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Well done. Civic, 17.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33APPLAUSE
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Emma and David have gone for ewe, female sheep.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Ooh. 89.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Very well done, Andy and Joe.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49After three questions, you are through to the final, two-one.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Yeah, there is an answer out there
0:33:51 > 0:33:53that would have beaten civic as well.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56It is not the fourth one down, that is refer.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It would have scored you 28 points.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It's not the top one. Of course, it's gig.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06And that would have scored you 68. It is the second one down.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Peep?- Peep is the answer. - It is peep!- Yep.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11That would have scored you 12 points.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13There we go. OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm sorry,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Emma and Dave, it is you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20But two very good shows we've had from you
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and great to have you in the head-to-head round for this show.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25This is where we say goodbye. Thanks so much for playing.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Emma and Dave.- Thank you.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:33But for Andy and Joe, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Well, there's no arguing with that, Andy and Joe.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You've fought off all the competition
0:34:42 > 0:34:45and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:58 > 0:35:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Well, it's worth bearing in mind that £250 of that jackpot came from you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09So, there we are, and in-play pointless answer.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13We haven't had one of those for a while, with Ida, in Round Two.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15What would be lovely to round it off for you?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Anything you particularly like to see come up?
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Pop music.- Yeah, obscure pop music from the early noughties...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Late- '90s. ..would be great.- OK.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Well, let's see what today's choices are.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30There might be something up there you like the look of. Let's hope so.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32We've got...
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Still, we've got The Lake District.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42LAUGHTER
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Erm, what do you think, Joe?- Cats.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- It could be famous cats in movies or something.- Yeah, cats.- Oh, no.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50If it's that though, I don't know anything. Erm...
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- Should we just go with...?- No, you go, you say one, two, three, go.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- Cats. No.- No.- Let's go Mercury. Let's go Mercury.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Mercury, we'll go Mercury.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03LAUGHTER AND CHEERING
0:36:07 > 0:36:11That is how committees should be done, you see? It's fantastic.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Right, so, you're going to go for Mercury.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Yeah, Mercury, it is. Richard.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Three very different questions here. Let's take a look.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23We are looking for any of the 32 period 6 elements
0:36:23 > 0:36:25on the periodic table.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26We are looking for...
0:36:30 > 0:36:33All the craters on Mercury are named after composers.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Or we are looking for...
0:36:38 > 0:36:40All his greatest hits outside Queen.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42So, any period 6 elements on the periodic table,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45composers with the craters on Mercury named after them it,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48or tracks on Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51The whole of Warden Park is behind you. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54All right, now, as always you've got up to one minute to come up
0:36:54 > 0:36:55with three answers.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58All you need to win that jackpot - £4,250, let us not forget -
0:36:58 > 0:37:00is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Are you ready?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04As we'll ever be.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- I don't know.- So, Freddie Mercury songs, my dad would kill me,
0:37:13 > 0:37:18but I think that he did a duet with someone. It was called Barcelona.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Yeah. We could go for that. - That was quite good/obscure.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Is it obscure?- I don't think it's that obscure to be honest.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- And then let's just take a punt... - At the periodic...
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- ..on the periodic table, with, like, really random elements.- OK.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I'm guessing it must be the same. OK, yeah.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- On the same thing as Mercury.- Yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40I think... Maybe it's a neon gas? I don't know.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- OK, we're running out of time. - What should we go for that one?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So, let's go with just the most obscure elements
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I can think of, which are Californium.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Yeah, let's do that. - And caesium.- OK, yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54I think it's worth a punt, isn't it? And then...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Unless we just want to go for a weird composer for the...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- OK, OK.- Do you know any?- No.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Or do we know any more Freddie Mercury songs?- No, I don't.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- So I think we just have to go with what you said.- OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12OK, that's your time up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- We're going to go with caesium... - Caesium.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- ..for the elements on the periodic table.- Yeah.- Californium.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Californium. Why not?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- And Barcelona.- And Barcelona. - For the Freddie Mercury song.- OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Now, of those three, which is
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- your best shot at a pointless answer do you think?- Barcelona?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Maybe Barcelona but just
0:38:30 > 0:38:33because I have no idea of those two elements that we've said.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36OK, least likely to be pointless?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Californium? Either of those elements.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Californium, we'll put first. We'll put caesium in the middle.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Perfect.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then
0:38:45 > 0:38:47and here they are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48We've got...
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board, surely.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Let's hope they're all correct.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Let's hope one of them at least is pointless
0:38:58 > 0:39:01and wins that jackpot for you, 4,250 quid, not bad at all.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Andy, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07We were thinking of maybe going to Sweden next year
0:39:07 > 0:39:11for the Eurovision final. But...
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I have a bit of a party every year on Eurovision,
0:39:14 > 0:39:15so it's kind of fitting.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- We'll take the party to the next level.- Yeah.- Very good indeed.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK, well, best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23As I say, your first answer was Californium.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27In this case, we were looking for period 6 elements
0:39:27 > 0:39:28on the periodic table.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's find out. If it's pointless, it will win you £4,250,
0:39:31 > 0:39:32let's not forget.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34How many people said Californium? Is it pointless?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Nope. Bad luck.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Californium, an incorrect answer.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Not a pointless answer, which means only two more shots
0:39:44 > 0:39:45at today's jackpot.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Let's have a look at your next answer which was caesium.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Let's see if it's right. If it's right,
0:39:50 > 0:39:51then it just has to be pointless
0:39:51 > 0:39:53and you leave here with £4,250.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Let's see how many people said caesium. Is it pointless?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Ooh, caesium is right.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Now, caesium has gone down to pointless before
0:40:02 > 0:40:04in this show.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Down it goes through the 20s.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Californium incorrect, but caesium now in single figures.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Down it goes. Still going down.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh, 1!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16APPLAUSE
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Wah-wah.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Ugh, one person, I'm afraid, remembered caesium.- Where are they?
0:40:27 > 0:40:28I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Everything is now riding on your third and final answer. Barcelona.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36In this case, we were looking for tracks from Freddie Mercury's album
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40It has to be correct then it has to be pointless.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43If it is both of those things, you leave here with £4,250.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45How many people said Barcelona?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It's right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, you're first answer, Californium, was incorrect.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Caesium took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Barcelona, your third and final answer,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58has to take us down to zero.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Oh, no, I'm sorry.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02APPLAUSE
0:41:06 > 0:41:11- That was very exciting, though, with your second answer.- Yeah.- Caesium.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Caesium!
0:41:12 > 0:41:15What a tease. It took us all the way down to 1.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that important pointless answer,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £4,250.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But, such a strong performance right from the very beginning.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30You can be very proud of yourselves and you get a Pointless trophy each
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- to take home, so very, very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35APPLAUSE
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Very well played, gents. Yeah, Californium is in period 7.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I think was Mr Polkney was period 7.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:41:48 > 0:41:51in the different categories. The elements, we'll start with.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59In fact, everything apart from lead, gold, iridium, platinum,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02barium, polonium, tungsten, osmium and caesium, of course.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04They're the only ones that scored any points at all.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Now, the composers, a huge amount of very famous names in this
0:42:08 > 0:42:10list that were pointless answers.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12So, you know, you could have probably randomly guessed
0:42:12 > 0:42:13three composers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19You could have had Dvorak, Bartok, Debussy, Ravel,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21you could've had Prokofiev,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Thelonious Monk. All sorts of answers on that.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Well done if you got one of those at home. Worth taking a risk.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27And Freddie Mercury.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31There's a few of the answers here.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Everything apart from Barcelona, which was the biggest scorer,
0:42:37 > 0:42:38The Great Pretender, Living On My Own
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and In My Defence... Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44But it's been a terrific show today. Really, really good fun.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Andy, thank you for upholding the honour of Warden Park.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Joe, thank you for upholding the honour of wherever you went
0:42:49 > 0:42:51to school, I don't know where it is. I'm sure it was great. Thank you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54An absolute pleasure. It's been a really good, fun show.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Thank you, gents.- Thanks, Richard.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Andy and Joe,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01but we've loved having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Andy and Joe, great contestants. APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Well, very sadly, Andy and Joe didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:10 > 0:43:11which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:11 > 0:43:14when we will be playing for...
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22Goodbye.
