0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless, the show

0:00:26 > 0:00:29where the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE

0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Maddy, I'm from London, this is my boyfriend Sam,

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- and he's from Kent. - Couple number two.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Stuart from Fleet in Hampshire,

0:00:42 > 0:00:45and this is my best mate Dave, who is from Welling in Kent.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number three.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Louise, this is my dad Adrian, and we're from Cardiff

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- and Swansea. - And finally, couple number four.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Rachael, this is my colleague Cassandra,

0:00:54 > 0:00:55and we are from Hertfordshire.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you. We will chat to each of you throughout the show as it

0:01:02 > 0:01:06goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08A smouldering screen siren, with a sharp suit

0:01:08 > 0:01:13- and an even sharper tongue, it is my Pointless friend, it's Richard. - Hiya.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Hi, everybody. Afternoon. - APPLAUSE

0:01:17 > 0:01:18- Hello there.- Hello.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- That jackpot is ticking up nicely. I wouldn't mind winning that.- No.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Between the two of us, we probably could win it.- Mm, yeah. Yeah, maybe.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Let's call off the rest of the show.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30- No.- No. We mustn't do that.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33We've got two returning pairs from last time.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Maddy and Sam on podium one got knocked out in Round Two.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37And on podium two, Dave

0:01:37 > 0:01:41and Stuart got all the way through to the head-to-head.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Unlucky to get knocked out as well.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I always like it when we have friends on the show who

0:01:44 > 0:01:48look like they could be brothers. Don't you think...

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- They sort of look like brothers. - They could.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Round One, I almost guarantee we are going to learn a new word.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58What about that? A new word. That's just great.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Thank you very much indeed.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now, Pippa and Helen didn't win the jackpot last time, which

0:02:02 > 0:02:07means we add another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off at £6,250.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10APPLAUSE

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Ho-ho! Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15APPLAUSE

0:02:18 > 0:02:21As I am sure you all know, the pair with the highest

0:02:21 > 0:02:26score at the end of each round will be eliminated. That's the rule.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28No conferring until we get to the head-to-head.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Our first category today is...

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Definitions. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40And who ever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Oh, there we go. Polysemous words.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Pol...- Polysemous.- Polysemous.- Merry Polysemous, everybody.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57And to you. LAUGHTER

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yes, "polissimus", or "poly-seemus" words.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Simply, words that have multiple meanings,

0:03:01 > 0:03:04so they can be defined in different ways. That's all that means.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06It's a nice word that we've all learned.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09So on two boards, we are going to show you seven lists of definitions of words.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12You just need to tell us which words they are defining, please.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14There are going to be 14 in all to have a go at, at home.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Very, very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21So we are looking for the words that have these multiple meanings,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24and here is our first board of seven.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54I'll read those all one last time.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Sam, welcome back. Remind us what you do.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm a civil engineering student at the University of Leeds.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- In my spare time I tutor maths as well.- You tutor maths.- I do, yes.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31You're a fool for the thing. You can't get away from working.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- No, I'm a workaholic.- A workaholic. And how are your tutees?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39They are fantastic. I tutor at A-level and at GCSE.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40It is brilliant, it is really rewarding.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43If you are doing it one-on-one, which presumably you are,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- you actually really do see marked improvement.- You see progression.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- They have no option but to pay attention.- Exactly.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52What Sam says, they do. Very good. Now, Sam,

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Sam, polysemous words.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm glad you described what polysemous meant. I know a couple.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01I might play it a little safe.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- I'm going to go for the bottom one and say prune.- Prune. Let's see.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07How many of our 100 people said prune?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, phew, it's right. It's right.

0:05:14 > 0:05:1747. APPLAUSE

0:05:17 > 0:05:2047. I guess that's a good score. A lot better than 100.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Good start, Sam. It is a fun round, isn't it?- It is fun.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24It instantly looks impossible,

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- and then you can sort of wade your way through it.- Yeah.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Stuart, welcome back.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Stuart, remind us what you do. - I'm happily retired now, Xander.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I like "happily retired". Very good. What adds to your happiness?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38One of the things I do is count cows on a regular basis.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- This is to go to sleep?- No. - LAUGHTER

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I volunteer for the local wildlife trust,

0:05:44 > 0:05:48and there's a group of us who go over to the local common

0:05:48 > 0:05:52and basically count the Highland cattle we've got grazing over there.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- You know that's not a real job, don't you?- Counting cattle?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58You know they are just saying, "God, Stuart has turned up again"?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER

0:05:59 > 0:06:03"I tell you what, tell him and the others, tell him to go count the cows.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07"OK, and when they count them, tell them, next week, count them again.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- "Just in case we lose some."- Just in case, because sometimes we lose them.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- But does the number change...- Yeah, we've got 18 grazing at the moment.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- It's exciting. Highland cattle. - Highland cattle, yeah.- Lovely to see Highland cattle.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22- They are beautiful, yeah.- Now, Stuart, all this polysemy behind me.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- What are you going to go for? - OK, I know a couple of them.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- They are easy when you're sitting at home.- Aren't they just?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32But I will go for the tree variety,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- the second one from the bottom, as plain.- Plain.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36I like that very much, Stuart.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Let's see how many of our 100 people liked it, too. Plain.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's right.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, you've passed 47, our only score.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Down you go to 23 with plain.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52APPLAUSE

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well played, Stuart. I thought that might score a few more.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57But they often use them in cities

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- because they are very pollution resistant.- Very good.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03OK, Adrian, a very warm welcome to you here on Pointless.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Adrian, what do you do? - I'm a songwriter and music producer.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Now that's fun. We have far too few of those on Pointless.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12What sort of songs do you write and produce?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16A bit of everything, really, but mainly pop, RnB,

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- dance music.- OK. Are there any songs we will know that are...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Unfortunately not.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23At the moment.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25But I've got to get some hits because I've got a daughter here.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- I've got to leave her my PRS cheques, you know?- Yeah.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30XANDER LAUGHS

0:07:30 > 0:07:33So, have you got various artists you write for on a regular basis?

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yes, I do... With the internet now, I can sort of get in touch with

0:07:35 > 0:07:37people in America.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39They send me the stuff over here, and I do the producing.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42See, that's fun, isn't it? Very good.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Now, Adrian, polysemous words.- Yes.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49I'm liking polysemous a lot. What are you thinking?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52I think I'll go with a North American porch with steps,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55and to bend forwards and downwards. Stoop.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Stoop. Stoop.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK, let's see if that's right,

0:08:00 > 0:08:02let's see how many of our 100 people said stoop.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09Look at that. Very good indeed. 47 is our highest score, which you've passed.

0:08:09 > 0:08:1123 is our lowest score, which you've passed. 21.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14APPLAUSE

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well played, Adrian. Very nice answer.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21It is one of those words we learn from American TV, isn't it?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Always sitting out on stoops. - Now, OK, so, Cassandra, welcome.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27A very warm welcome to you. What do you do, Cassandra?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I work for the local government as an HR advisor.- Excellent.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- What are your hobbies? - Ranging, really.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I like literature, so a lot of reading. Going to the theatre.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40And a bit of dating, but I'm trying to ease off that a little bit now.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42A bit of dating. Trying to ease off the dating.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44But you can combine dating with theatre.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Dating with reading not so much, I suppose. I don't know.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50That would be a nice thing, a meeting of minds.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54You can just sit in easy silence and read books. Ah, it would be nice.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Now, Cassandra, this board is all yours,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- if you felt like talking us through it.- I think I know three of them.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02So I think the first one is hide.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I think the "flutter one's eyelashes" is to bat.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I think the next one might be log, but I'm not sure.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11So I think I'm going to go for "flutter one's eyelashes" and bat.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15You're going to go for bat. OK, bat, says Cassandra.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said bat.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's right!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, 47 is our high, you've passed that.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Look at that! Lowest score of the round so far. 16 for bat.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33APPLAUSE

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Great answer, Cassandra, well played. Best answer of the round.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I didn't get that one at all. I really didn't.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I was sitting there thinking, badger. Do you badger one's eyelashes? I don't think you do.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- You probably could. - Bat completely passed me by.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47You were right about the other two you gave us answers for.

0:09:47 > 0:09:52Hide is the top answer. And hide would have scored you 42.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55The biggest answer of all is log, the record of events

0:09:55 > 0:09:59and to cut down an area of forest, would have scored you 66. And this is the best answer.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You know what to give way under pressure is.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- I was going to say "to cave". It is not that, obviously.- It is not.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- It is buckle.- Oh, of course!- Buckle is the answer. 1 point for that.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Very well done if you got that.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yes, I was thinking of the wrong kind of frame. What a fool.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Let's take a look at the scores. 16. Well done, the best score of that

0:10:17 > 0:10:19round. Then up to 21, where we find

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Adrian and Louise. 23, Stuart and Dave.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24And then 47, Sam and Maddy.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Now, Maddy, we have to have a low score from you,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28we can't be sending you home at the end of this round.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Good luck with that. I hope there is something on the next board you like the look of.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35We are going to come back down the line, can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:37 > 0:10:41OK, we're going to put seven more meanings up on the board, and here they are.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll read all of those one last time.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Now then, Rachael. A warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- This is a fun round, isn't it?- Ye-ah.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Now, come on. This is great fun.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- What do you do, Rachael? - I work in HR with Cassandra.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I see. How long have you worked there?- For a year now.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54And what are your interests outside of HR?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Well, I've got a very sort of clever house rabbit at home that

0:11:58 > 0:12:03- I've trained to do tricks.- Really? What kind of tricks can your rabbit...

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- A house rabbit?- A house rabbit. - That's a rabbit that lives in the house?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Yes.- Completely tame, house-trained? - Yes.- Really?- Litter-trained.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, that's the first trick you've taught it. What other tricks?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- He knows his name, he comes when he is called.- What's his name?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Mr Pepperpot. It's his official title.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20His official title, of course, yes.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24And if you say "turn" to him, he turns on the spot.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26And he knows the command "up" as well.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31- He jumps up unto like a plinth that we've got.- A special plinth.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34That's fantastic. Has it got a Doric top,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36- the plinth?- Not really.- No.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- More square.- More just a square. - Just so he can access it.- OK.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Listen, if you win the jackpot,

0:12:42 > 0:12:45maybe you could upgrade the plinth somewhat for Mr Pepperpot.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- You can get agility sets, so maybe.- An agility set.- Yeah.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Cones, hoops.- Oh!

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Now, Rachael, you are on 16.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Great score from Cassandra in the first pass.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- What would you like to go for on this board?- OK.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01There's a couple that I know.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'm going to go for the top one, and I'm going to say cob.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Cob. Cob, says Rachel. Here is your red line.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12If you can get below that, you are definitely into the next round. How many of our 100 said cob?

0:13:15 > 0:13:16It's right.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Ooh-ee. 56. APPLAUSE

0:13:20 > 0:13:22That seems very high indeed.

0:13:22 > 0:13:2472 is your total.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Yeah, I think quite high.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28I think maybe because the male swan is such an exacting clue

0:13:28 > 0:13:29so you know it is cob.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's got all sorts of meanings, cob, actually.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34You could have filled a whole board with meanings of cob.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Yeah. Such is the polysemous nature of the...

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Etc. Yeah. OK, now, Louise, welcome to Pointless.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Great to have you here.- Thank you. - What do you do, Louise?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I work for a not-for-profit organisation

0:13:47 > 0:13:50and we bring digital opportunities to the community.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52- I see, to get people onto computers. - Yeah.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53People doing all sorts of things.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Is that generally people sort of over a certain age, do you find?

0:13:56 > 0:14:00No, kind of right from children and young people as well.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01OK, very good.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03What are your interests when you're not doing that, Louise?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Erm, when I'm not doing that,

0:14:06 > 0:14:09I teach drama to children and young people.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Excellent. How long have you been doing that for?- For ever.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16For ever, it's the same stage school that I went to

0:14:16 > 0:14:19when I was young and I've never really left.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Ah, that's nice.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Do they work towards plays and things like that

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- or is it just a nice workshop-type? - A mixture of both.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29So, yeah, we do some full-scale stuff as well,

0:14:29 > 0:14:32so it's great to see them. They're fab.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Brilliant. Brilliant. Now, you're on 21.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36At the moment, the high scorers are behind you,

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Cassandra and Rachael on 72.

0:14:37 > 0:14:4050 or less gets you through. What are you going to go for?

0:14:40 > 0:14:41I'm going to go for...

0:14:41 > 0:14:45a machine used for moving objects and a type of bird,

0:14:45 > 0:14:47erm, which is crane.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Crane, says Louise. Here's your red line.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51If you can get below that with crane, you're through.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53How many of our 100 people said crane?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Oh, look at that. 56. APPLAUSE

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well, the far podium's through.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05You are now on 77.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08The world's tallest crane is a climbing crane.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09They use it in Saudi Arabia.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12They're building a thing called the Kingdom Tower.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16It can go up to a kilometre high and still carry 18 tonnes of weight.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Wow...

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Er, now, Dave.- Alexander. - Welcome back.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Remind us what you do, Dave.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'm also happily retired like my esteemed friend here.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25What happiness do you find in your retirement?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27I've got my rock music club that I'm involved in -

0:15:27 > 0:15:29the Wrinkly Rockers Club.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I'm also involved in a greyhound syndicate.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34We have four greyhounds, a bunch of ex-colleagues of mine,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- and we travel the country watching the greyhounds.- That's fun.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- So how often do they race? - Once a week.- Once a week?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42If you're lucky sort of thing. But we had one of ours

0:15:42 > 0:15:44get to the quarterfinals of the English Greyhound Derby

0:15:44 > 0:15:48two years ago, so we really were living the dream at one point.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50That's good. A lovely way to go round the country as well.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- You must get to know all sorts of places.- Yeah.- And people as well.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Fantastic scene, I should think, the greyhounds gang.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Now, there you are on 23.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00We need 53 or less from you.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Right, OK. Well, this is a better board for me than the last one.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I literally only knew one.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09I'm going to have to take a slight punt.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13I'm going to go for the fourth one down - to enjoy oneself socially,

0:16:13 > 0:16:17a din, a type of bat - and that, I think, is racket.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Racket, says Dave. OK, here is your red line.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24If you can get below that with racket, you are into the next round.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25How many people said racket?

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Well done, you're through.

0:16:34 > 0:16:3624. APPLAUSE

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Takes your total up to 47.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well played, Dave. Again, has lots of other meanings.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46- In America, it's a snow shoe, a criminal enterprise.- Hmm.- All sorts.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Maddy, welcome back. Welcome back.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Now, then, you have to score 29 or less.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Just to think about that. Just to think about that.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Now, remind us what you do, Maddy. - I'm also at the University of Leeds.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm doing French there.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- French, about to go out on your year out.- Yes, off to Versailles.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- See, that's nice, isn't it?- Yeah. - And have you got a job sorted there?

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yes, I'm going to be a teaching assistant

0:17:09 > 0:17:10in a primary school over there.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Excellent.- Only about 12 hours a week, so free time.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Quite a lot of free time and a wonderful place to be based.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19How is your conversational French?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's decent, but I think at the moment I'm so used to either

0:17:22 > 0:17:24English people speaking French

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- or my lecturer speaking very slowly for us.- Yeah.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30So I think once I get out there and actually hear French people...

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Get immersed in it. - It might be a little bit, erm...

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well, it won't take you long to be completely bilingual,

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'd have thought. Anyway, there you are, 47.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39We have to have 29 from you. What are you going to go for?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Do you want to talk us through all of this board?

0:17:41 > 0:17:42So I know all but one, I think.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47To deceive is kid. Growth of fungi would be mould.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50And I think that the one after that is bill.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53But I'm not sure whether that is a Medieval weapon.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I know there's the bill and it is a beak,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58but I might as well take a punt on that.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59I'm going to say bill.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02You're going to say bill. OK, Maddy, here's your red line.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05You're getting a sort of nod of consent I think

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- from your fellow players.- Good!

0:18:07 > 0:18:11I think it's a good thing. Let's see how many of our 100 people said bill.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15It is a Medieval weapon, look at that.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Well done, you're through. APPLAUSE

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Look at that. 14.

0:18:21 > 0:18:2314, in fact, the best score of the whole round.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26So well done. 61 is your total.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Very good answer indeed.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Actually, you knew an even better answer cos mould,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- which you also knew, is the best answer on the board.- Oh, really?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Yeah, mould would have scored you 8 points.- Wow.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Would've been a great one.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Kid, you're correct about that.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41That's a bigger scorer, though, would've scored 35.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45- And the one at the bottom?- Bore. - Bore is the answer. Of course it is.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Would've scored 33.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49You know there's a Dull Men's Club of Great Britain?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50It's got 5,000 members

0:18:50 > 0:18:54and they have a calendar every year of the 12 dullest men in Britain.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Last time, they had on it a brick collector,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00a roundabout enthusiast and a drain spotter.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Listen, you're talking to February. LAUGHTER

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Thanks very much indeed.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07At the end of the first round, they pair who are heading home

0:19:07 > 0:19:10with their high score of 77 - you're not way out in front there.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12That was a very exciting and close first round.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Well done and thank you to all of you.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16But, Louise and Adrian, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye,

0:19:16 > 0:19:18but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21In the meantime, thanks very much. Louise and Adrian.

0:19:21 > 0:19:22APPLAUSE

0:19:22 > 0:19:26But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32What about that?

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Just like that, one of our pairs has just disappeared into thin air.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Not really. They've been released back into the community.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Erm, at the end of this round,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42we will be saying goodbye to another pair.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44I don't know which pair that is going to be,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47but very well done, Dave and Stuart, for our lowest team score.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Very well done to Maddy for our lowest individual score.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54And very well done to Cassandra and Rachael. Welcome to Round Two.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Great to have you here. Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:20:01 > 0:20:041980s Sportsmen. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:20:04 > 0:20:06who's going to go first, who is to go second?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14OK, and the question concerns...

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Golfers and snooker players from the '80s.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21An absolute nightmare round for some people,

0:20:21 > 0:20:23dream round for others. I know that.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25We're going to show you two pictures now.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27One is of the 1989 European Ryder Cup team,

0:20:27 > 0:20:32one is of Barry Hearn's Matchroom stable of snooker players from 1988.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34We need you to give us the names of any of the people

0:20:34 > 0:20:36you see from either photo, please.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37OK, here are the images.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Oh, beautifully arranged. Look at that, a crescent of snooker players.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45There we are.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50OK, now then, Maddy... Oh, it's like a dream round this, isn't it, Maddy?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51- Such a dream, yeah(!)- Yeah.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's what I was hoping for.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Right, so, I think I'll just make up a name.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Are you going to make up a golf name or a snooker name?

0:20:59 > 0:21:00It's important.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04I'm going to go for the one with the nice 'tache in the top picture...

0:21:04 > 0:21:08You don't have to be that specific. You could just make up a name.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11It doesn't even have to be sport-specific either.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I will go for Adrian...

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Sportsman. - LAUGHTER

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Oh, now, Maddy, I see what you've done there.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22I see what you've done. You've just ruined your paper, haven't you?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Just handed it in with a...across it.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Adrian Sportsman, I think all but impossible.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Anyway, we'll find out, shall we?

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Let's see how many people said Adrian Sportsman.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36No.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38I'm sorry. Adrian Sportsman, perhaps unsurprisingly,

0:21:38 > 0:21:40an incorrect answer, scoring you 100 points, Maddy.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Yeah, although it does look like him, doesn't it?!

0:21:43 > 0:21:46It does look a bit like him. But, yeah, he of course was table tennis,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48but you can see the likeness.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Goodness me, could almost be brothers.- Yeah.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Thanks very much. Now, then, Dave. - Xander.- Pick a sportsman.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Not Adrian.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Well, compared to the last round, this is much easier for me.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I don't play golf and I play bad snooker.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm going snooker and I'm torn between two of them.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10I'm going to have a go at the snooker player in the top left,

0:22:10 > 0:22:12who I think is Tony Meo.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Tony Meo says Dave.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Tony Meo.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21It is Tony Meo, absolutely.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well done, Dave. APPLAUSE

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Tony Meo

0:22:30 > 0:22:32gets you 4 points.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Great answer, Dave. Very well played.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Was the youngest player ever to make a 147.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Ronnie O'Sullivan overtook that record.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Cassandra.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Yes.- Who would you like to go for?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46- I don't really remember many of these people.- OK.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49But I think I know a few, so I'm going to go for the golf.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51And I think there's Seve Ballesteros.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Seve Ballesteros, says Cassandra.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Ooh, there's a murmur of appreciation for Seve Ballesteros' name.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, absolutely right. You already beat our high score.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08The low score is 4.

0:23:08 > 0:23:1129 for Seve Ballesteros. Well done. APPLAUSE

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Good score over there on the far podium.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Great score, Cassandra. Really good damage limitation

0:23:16 > 0:23:18in this round as well. Probably the most charismatic

0:23:18 > 0:23:22and maybe best European golfer there has ever been.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Let's have a quick look at that scoreboard.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Dave and Stuart, looking very strong at the moment on 4.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Then up to 29, Cassandra and Rachael, likewise in the context of 100,

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm afraid, on the near podium.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Adrian Sportsman not coming through for you there, Maddy, I'm afraid.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43But, Sam, it could be back in your hands.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45There's a chance you might be back in the game,

0:23:45 > 0:23:46but if that is the case

0:23:46 > 0:23:48then we will need a low score from you, so best of luck with that.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, so remember, we are

0:23:55 > 0:23:59looking for the names of any of these snooker or golf players.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Rachael, you're going to try and find a nice low score there.

0:24:02 > 0:24:0470 or less gets you through.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Some of the ones that I had are gone,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08but I'm going to go for a snooker player.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm going to go for Jimmy White.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Jimmy White says Rachael. Jimmy White. Here's your red line.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16If you can get below that with Jimmy White, you're home and dry.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Let's see how many people said Jimmy White.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23It's right.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Very well done, through you go, Rachael.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Good score. 36. APPLAUSE

0:24:30 > 0:24:3165 is your total.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Runner-up in the World Championship six times.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Never won it, Jimmy White. There he is, second from the right.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38He's the only person who's not standing in height order.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Stuart...

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Yeah, it's a fairly good round for me.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49I think I might go fairly safe here

0:24:49 > 0:24:53and I will go for the Ryder Cup and Mark James.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Mark James. Mark James says Stuart. Here's your red line.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Lovely and high. 95 or less gets you through.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02How many of our 100 said Mark James?

0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's right and you're through.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Oh, it's another good answer. Look at that.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14They're unstoppable. APPLAUSE

0:25:14 > 0:25:153, best score so far.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Takes your total up to 7,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18our only single-figure total.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Great score on that second podium there.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23There he is in the back row, second from the left.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25One of the moustachioed players.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Went on to become Ryder Cup captain as well.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Thank you very much, Richard. Now, then, Sam.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Oh, it hasn't panned out as I thought it might.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35I'm afraid you haven't been handed that lifeline

0:25:35 > 0:25:39- and you are our high scorers. - Not to worry.- But I do worry!

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Sam, do you want to talk us through the remaining people?

0:25:43 > 0:25:44I know both sports,

0:25:44 > 0:25:47you can have quite a longevity in those sports,

0:25:47 > 0:25:50so I'm going to pick somebody who might be quite old now

0:25:50 > 0:25:52and might have been kicking around in the 1980s.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55I think the top one might have Willie Thorne there, but I'm going

0:25:55 > 0:25:59to go for the bottom, try and get an extra £250 and maybe say Sandy Lyle.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Sandy Lyle, says Sam. Sandy Lyle.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05Let's see if it's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:26:07 > 0:26:14Oh, bad luck, Sam. I'm afraid not 250 for the pot, but 200 club for you.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Willie Thorne would've scored you 34 on the top there,

0:26:16 > 0:26:18but would've been a perfectly good answer.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Now, let's go through all of these. So we've had Tony Meo.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25Next to him is Terry Griffiths. He would have scored you 10.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27There's Willie Thorne. Then Cliff Thorburn is the one who looks

0:26:27 > 0:26:29suspiciously like Adrian Sportsman.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33In the middle there, Cliff Thorburn, and he would have scored you 21.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37There's Steve Davis, of course, in the middle. 67 for Steve Davis.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Next to him, Neil Foulds. Neil Foulds would have scored 2 points,

0:26:40 > 0:26:42actually the best answer on the snooker players board.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45And next to Jimmy White, slightly out of height order,

0:26:45 > 0:26:47is Dennis Taylor who would have scored you 36,

0:26:47 > 0:26:48the same as Jimmy White.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53Now, the golf team. There's Sam Torrance on the back left.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54He scored 6 points.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Then next to Mark James, you've got Christy O'Connor Jr,

0:26:56 > 0:26:58who'd score you 1.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Next to him, a very young-looking Jose Maria Olazabal

0:27:01 > 0:27:02who would have scored you 2.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Next to him is a pointless answer.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06In fact, the next four are all pointless answers,

0:27:06 > 0:27:09so well done if you said

0:27:09 > 0:27:10Jose Maria Canizares,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Howard Clark, Gordon Brand Jr

0:27:13 > 0:27:16and Ronan Rafferty. All four of them, pointless answers.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17You've then got Bernhard Langer.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Would have scored you 6 down the bottom there.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Nick Faldo would have scored you 22.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Tony Jacklin, the captain, would have scored you 11.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27And next to Seve, you've got Ian Woosnam

0:27:27 > 0:27:29and he would have scored you 10 points.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Very well done if you got any of those pointless answers.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35At the end of our second round, the pair we are sending home

0:27:35 > 0:27:37for good this time, I'm afraid to say, Sam and Maddy.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's been Round Two every time for you.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm sorry you never got to see the giddy heights of the head-to-head,

0:27:42 > 0:27:45but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you so much.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Sam and Maddy. APPLAUSE

0:27:50 > 0:27:53But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Well done, Dave and Stuart, Cassandra and Rachael.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play

0:28:03 > 0:28:07for that jackpot which, let's remind ourselves, is standing at the moment

0:28:07 > 0:28:08at £6,250.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12There we are.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Now that is worth playing for. So is every jackpot, worth playing for.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18What am I talking about? But that is a very exciting jackpot.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Now, you know the rules.

0:28:19 > 0:28:20One pair will go through to play for it.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23We decide which pair it's going to be by making you go head-to-head.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25You can now play as teams.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28First pair to win two questions has a crack at that jackpot.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Well, there's a lot to play for. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42OK, here is your first question and it concerns...

0:28:44 > 0:28:45Life Songs, Richard.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48We're going to show you the names of five songs now,

0:28:48 > 0:28:51all of which contain the word life. We need you to tell us the artist

0:28:51 > 0:28:53who had a top 40 hit with these songs in the years shown, please.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57OK, let's reveal our five songs and here they are.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58We've got...

0:29:07 > 0:29:09I'll read those all one last time.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Now, Dave and Stuart, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Yep, not a bad board, given I said I like music,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28so there's about two or three of them there.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30The one I'm going to go for is the second one down,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Life In A Northern Town,

0:29:32 > 0:29:33which I think is Dream Academy.

0:29:33 > 0:29:38Dream Academy say Dave and Stuart. Now, then, Cassandra and Rachael.

0:29:38 > 0:29:39Talk us through that board.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Erm, well, the first one we think is Elton John.- Yeah.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44David Bowie, Life On Mars?

0:29:44 > 0:29:46But we're quite confident about the bottom one -

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Life Is A Rollercoaster being Ronan Keating.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52Ronan Keating. So we have Dream Academy and we have Ronan Keating.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Dave and Stuart said Dream Academy. Let's see if that's right

0:29:54 > 0:29:56and let's see how many people said it.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05Look at that. There we go. 2.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07APPLAUSE

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Dream Academy, that's a great answer. What a lovely song as well.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Cassandra and Rachael have gone for Ronan Keating

0:30:14 > 0:30:15for Life Is A Rollercoaster.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ronan Keating.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26That's a great answer as well.

0:30:26 > 0:30:27Look at that, down it goes. 7.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29APPLAUSE

0:30:29 > 0:30:30So close!

0:30:30 > 0:30:32Two great answers, but Dave and Stuart,

0:30:32 > 0:30:33you win it with Dream Academy.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Well done. After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37And the best two answers on the board as well,

0:30:37 > 0:30:39so well played, both teams.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Circle Of Life, you're right, is Elton John.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43That would have scored you 22.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Life On Mars is David Bowie.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48The biggest score up there, would have scored you 33.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51- And Walk Of Life? - Dire Straits.- Dire Straits.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53That would have scored 23.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Wonderful. Thank you very much.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57OK, now, here comes your second question.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Cassandra and Rachael, great low scoring there.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I'm afraid they just beat you that time, but you get to go first,

0:31:03 > 0:31:06so maybe you can nab the lowest score on the board.

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Best of luck. It concerns...

0:31:11 > 0:31:13UK Horse and Pony Breed, Richard?

0:31:13 > 0:31:16We're going to show you the names now of five UK horse or pony breeds,

0:31:16 > 0:31:19but we've missed out alternate letters.

0:31:19 > 0:31:20Can you fill them in, please?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23OK, let's reveal the breeds and here they come.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33I'll read those one last time.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Cassandra and Rachael will go first.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45WHISPERING

0:31:48 > 0:31:51OK, we don't really know any of them.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54But the fourth one, we think, is Exmoor.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56OK, you're going to go for Exmoor.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00Now, then, Dave and Stuart, talk us through all the others if you can.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Don't know the top one.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Second one, I guess, is New Forest.

0:32:04 > 0:32:10Third one is Shetland and I think the bottom one may be Clydesdale.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13We'll take a bit of a punt and go Clydesdale.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17You're going to say Clydesdale. So we have Exmoor and we have Clydesdale.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20So, Cassandra and Rachael said Exmoor. Let's see if that's right.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Let's see how many people agree with them.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24It's right.

0:32:30 > 0:32:3215. Very well done indeed.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33APPLAUSE

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Dave and Stuart, meanwhile, have gone Clydesdale.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43It's right.

0:32:47 > 0:32:5138. That's what you needed, Cassandra and Rachael. You're back in the game.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54- After two questions, it's one-all. - And given you only knew one of them,

0:32:54 > 0:32:57you actually knew the best answer on the board, so that's handy.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58Yeah, Exmoor ponies.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01They're believed to be the oldest true descendants of the ponies

0:33:01 > 0:33:03that were wild in Britain 100,000 years ago.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Wow...- The Exmoor ponies.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08The top one, Dartmoor, was the next best scorer.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Would have scored you 17. New Forest, of course.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14And that would have scored you 47.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16And it is Shetland as well

0:33:16 > 0:33:19and Shetland would have scored you 33.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here comes your third question.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:33:29 > 0:33:30Herbs and Spices, Richard.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32We're going to show you five pictures

0:33:32 > 0:33:34of herbs and spices used in cooking.

0:33:34 > 0:33:35Can you identify them, please?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37We're going to give you the initials as well.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41OK, let's reveal our five pictures and here they come. We've got...

0:34:01 > 0:34:04There we are. Five herbs and spices.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Dave and Stuart will go first this time.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15We'll go for B, horseradish.

0:34:15 > 0:34:16B, horseradish.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20Now, Cassandra and Rachael, talk us through the board.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22OK. A, we think, is oregano.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24D is cinnamon.

0:34:24 > 0:34:29E is star anise, but we're going to go for C, which we think is hyssop.

0:34:29 > 0:34:30Hyssop.

0:34:30 > 0:34:34Hyssop. So we have horseradish, we have hyssop.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35Dave and Stuart said horseradish.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39Let's see if that's right, let see how many people said it.

0:34:40 > 0:34:41It's right.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's right and scores 49.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE

0:34:49 > 0:34:53Now, then, Cassandra and Rachael have said hyssop for C.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57Now, I have a hunch if this is right, this might be going a long way down.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said hyssop. Is it right, though?

0:35:02 > 0:35:03It is right!

0:35:03 > 0:35:05That's a good answer.

0:35:05 > 0:35:10And it beats horseradish. Down it goes. Hyssop's a great answer.

0:35:10 > 0:35:135, well done. APPLAUSE

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Which means, after three questions, Cassandra and Rachael,

0:35:15 > 0:35:17through you go to the final 20-1.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19The best two answers on the board again

0:35:19 > 0:35:21and Rachael and Cassandra - all three questions,

0:35:21 > 0:35:24you've picked the lowest possible score you could have done.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Terrific head-to-head. Let's fill in the rest of these.

0:35:26 > 0:35:31A is oregano and it would have scored you 67.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34- One of our 100 people said origami. - LAUGHTER

0:35:34 > 0:35:36You sort of know what they mean.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39D is cinnamon. It was the biggest scorer of all.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41That would've scored you 74.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43And E is star anise.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47- And that would have scored you 59. - Thanks very much, Richard.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50So our leaving pair at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Dave and Stuart. I'm so sorry. Head-to-head twice.- Yeah.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57And this time as the favoured, golden couple.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59That was a very exciting head-to-head.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well done to both pairs, but, Dave and Stuart, we have to say goodbye.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04It's been lovely having you on both shows.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.

0:36:07 > 0:36:08APPLAUSE

0:36:08 > 0:36:12But for Cassandra and Rachael, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:15 > 0:36:16What about that?

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Cassandra and Rachael, you've seen off all the competition

0:36:18 > 0:36:22and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:36:31 > 0:36:33our massive Pointless jackpot

0:36:33 > 0:36:36and at the end of today's show, it stands at £6,250.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40So impressive.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44So consistently good throughout the show and what about that?

0:36:44 > 0:36:46You saw off our returning pair in the head-to-head.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Absolutely fantastic.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Anything you want to see come up in this last round?

0:36:51 > 0:36:55If the back catalogues of any '90s boyband comes up,

0:36:55 > 0:36:58then I'm afraid we're going to absolutely go for it.

0:36:58 > 0:36:59You're going to nail it.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01- Yeah, we'd be good at that. - OK, well, very best of luck.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Let's see what your choices are today.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05There are four of them as ever.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Initially, I'd say The X Factors,

0:37:13 > 0:37:16but I'm wondering whether it isn't as it seems.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Yeah. We'll rule out horse racing.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Nope.- X Factor?

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- X Factor. OK. We'll go for X Factors.- X Factors it is.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Richard.- OK, three very different questions here.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30I suspect a couple of these might suit you. Very, very best of luck.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34£6,250 up for grabs. Here are your three choices.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36We're looking for...

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Any UK top 40 single by Liberty X...

0:37:39 > 0:37:44We are looking for any tracks from Ed Sheeran's X album

0:37:44 > 0:37:46on its initial release

0:37:46 > 0:37:49or we're looking for anyone who's been in the top three

0:37:49 > 0:37:51of any series of X Factor up to 2014 please.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54So Liberty X, top 40 singles, tracks on the original release

0:37:54 > 0:37:57of Ed Sheeran's X or anyone who's been in the top three

0:37:57 > 0:38:01in any series of X Factor up to 2014, very best of luck.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02OK, now, as always,

0:38:02 > 0:38:04you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:38:04 > 0:38:06and all you need to win that jackpot

0:38:06 > 0:38:08is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14There they are. Your time starts now.

0:38:14 > 0:38:19OK, Liberty X, I can think of... I think it's Got To Have Your Love.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21- OK.- Which was a cover.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Monday Monday. Did they do Monday Monday?- No!- Was that the other one?

0:38:25 > 0:38:30- X Factor finalists, I think we've got people like Same Difference.- Oh.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Erm...- Was Ella Anderson in the final?- Who?- Ella Anderson?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37- No, not in the final three. - Was she not?- No.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Erm... We've got... Who else was in it?

0:38:39 > 0:38:45- Andy Abrahams. Er, Journey South. - Andy... Journey South, yeah.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47- We've got...- What about Ed Sheeran?

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- I haven't listened to the album yet! - THEY LAUGH

0:38:50 > 0:38:52I'm thinking of some other years.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Erm, we had Rhydian and Leon Jackson, but...

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Leon Jackson, did he...?

0:38:56 > 0:38:59He won it, though, and I don't know whether that's obvious then.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Rhydian, would people remember Rhydian?- The hair. Yeah.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03Erm, I'm thinking...

0:39:03 > 0:39:04Ten seconds left.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07I think we should go for Journey South

0:39:07 > 0:39:10and maybe the Liberty X single Got To Have Your Love.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14And another X Factor.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15OK, that's your time up.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Tell me your answers and say which category you're answering.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20OK, so we're going to go for the UK singles

0:39:20 > 0:39:22by Liberty X, Got To Have Your Love.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Got To Have Your Love, Liberty X.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28- X Factor finalists, we're going to go for Journey South.- Journey South.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32And we're going to go for... Leon Jackson.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Leon Jackson as our two X Factor finalists. OK, of those three,

0:39:35 > 0:39:38which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:38 > 0:39:40I think the single by Liberty X, Got To Have Your Love.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Got To Have Your Love goes last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:43 > 0:39:45- BOTH:- Leon Jackson. - There's our first.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47OK, well, let's pop those answers up in that order then,

0:39:47 > 0:39:49and here they are.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53We've got Leon Jackson, Journey South and Got To Have Your Love.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Three great answers up there.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Now, if one of those happens to be pointless

0:39:57 > 0:39:59and you walk away with that jackpot -

0:39:59 > 0:40:02let's just remind us ourselves, £6,250 -

0:40:02 > 0:40:04what would you do with that? Cassandra, you first.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06My mum's got a brother in New Zealand

0:40:06 > 0:40:09who she hasn't seen in about 25 years and it's very important

0:40:09 > 0:40:12that she gets to see him, so it would definitely go towards that.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Wonderful. Rachael?

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Well, initially I thought about

0:40:16 > 0:40:18maybe some new raised beds for my garden.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Well, that's nice, isn't it?- Possibly the agility set for Mr Pepperpot.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23I was thinking, yes, raised beds.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Keep things out of Mr Pepperpot's reach.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28But maybe, if it's 6,000, then a holiday would be lovely.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31To see the northern lights. I've always wanted to see those.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Oh, well, let's hope, fingers tightly crossed,

0:40:33 > 0:40:37that one of these answers - at least one of these answers - is pointless.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Now, in the first instance, we were looking for X Factor finalists,

0:40:40 > 0:40:41the last three in the X Factor.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Leon Jackson was your least confident answer.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,

0:40:46 > 0:40:50so for £6,250, let's see how many people said Leon Jackson.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55It's right.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,

0:40:57 > 0:41:02you will leave here with £6,250. Leon Jackson goes down through the teens.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04We're into single figures. Down it goes.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Still going down, still going down.

0:41:05 > 0:41:10You've done it! First answer! APPLAUSE

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Absolutely brilliant.

0:41:12 > 0:41:13Very well done indeed.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Brilliant!

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Absolutely fantastic.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27A pointless answer, Leon Jackson.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31You've just won that jackpot of £6,250. Superb!

0:41:37 > 0:41:39And given you want your mum to go to New Zealand,

0:41:39 > 0:41:42worth noting that Journey South also a pointless answer.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46Very well done. Er, Got To Have Your Love by Liberty X...

0:41:46 > 0:41:481 point, come on!

0:41:48 > 0:41:51- What are you playing at? - Well done!

0:41:56 > 0:41:57You know, it's very interesting.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00If you talk about things like X Factor, shows like that,

0:42:00 > 0:42:01people think you're dumbing down.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04You've shown throughout this show, you know about all sorts of things.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06You happen to know about that as well

0:42:06 > 0:42:08and there's a lot of pointless answers

0:42:08 > 0:42:11that people at home will have got. But let's start with Liberty X.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Top 75 singles. Only three pointless answers here.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Well done if you got any of those.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Now, Ed Sheeran's "Multiply" album.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24We called it X just because it fits in with the title of the category.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26But only two pointless answers there.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Runaway and The Man, both pointless answers.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Lowest scorers were Fire Love for 1

0:42:30 > 0:42:32and 2 points for Photograph, I Am A Mess and Tenerife Sea.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Those were the best scorers apart from those pointless ones.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Now, X Factor. Loads of pointless answers here.

0:42:42 > 0:42:46Amelia Lily, Ben Mills, Christopher Maloney, Fleur East,

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Jahmene Douglas, Luke Friend, Marcus Collins, Steve Brookstein,

0:42:49 > 0:42:52Tabby Callaghan and someone else you mentioned, Same Difference,

0:42:52 > 0:42:54also a pointless answer.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Very well done if you got any of those at home and congratulations.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59What a brilliant performance all the way through the show.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Thank you, Richard.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03Well, thanks once again to our brilliant winning players,

0:43:03 > 0:43:08Cassandra and Rachael, who go away with today's jackpot of £6,250.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

0:43:15 > 0:43:18to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
