0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the game where you are always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Judith, and I live in Cornwall,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40and this is my sister, Ann, and she lives in Sheffield.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Gareth, this is my wife, Grace,
0:00:44 > 0:00:45and we're from Bolton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hello, my name is Nancy, this is my friend Alf,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're from Cambridge.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hiya, I'm Illy, this is Chris, and we're train crew from Blackpool.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01A warm welcome to you all. Thank you very much.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We will find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08To appeal to a younger audience today,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10he's only giving answers in emoticons -
0:01:10 > 0:01:12smiley face, smiley face, balloon, party hat,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14winking ghost, love hearts, processing monk.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Ah, how are you today? - I'm... Do you know what?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm getting Pointless back.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Are you?- Yeah, yeah, Pointless back.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You need to see the physio, or get one of those foam rollers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- That's what I need - a foam roller. - Ah!- Pointless back.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I think it's cos... I stand so badly when we're recording.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Like that? - You know, have you ever spotted...?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I rarely look in your direction, if I'm honest.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Well... LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:44What we should get is a wire from up there
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and I could just, I could be suspended.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Oh, that's a lovely idea. - I could very gently spin.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Or have you sitting down.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52If we do this for a few more years, you'll have to be sitting down.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Oh, I will. Or maybe I'd have a very discreet stool.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56ALEXANDER LAUGHS That's...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You know what? That may explain the back problem.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Now, we had our hairiest ever jackpot winners last time,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Gareth and David, with their very impressive beards.- Very.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And on today's show, another bit of Pointless history, possibly,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13cos Gareth and Grace are back.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, Gareth...
0:02:15 > 0:02:16A long time ago, we had a gentleman
0:02:16 > 0:02:18called the Reverend Tom Thomas on the show,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20came on with one of his sons.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Came on two shows, didn't win.- No.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25About a year later, another of his sons came on with a cousin,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27so two more members of the Thomas family -
0:02:27 > 0:02:28two shows, didn't win.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Now, Gareth is yet another son.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33He's had one show so far, didn't win.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So we are having no more Thomases on ever again after this, Gareth.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Just so you know, the drawbridge is now up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- No pressure.- This, Gareth and Grace,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41is the last chance for the Thomas family
0:02:41 > 0:02:43to win a Pointless trophy.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44The last chance.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47And we welcome two new pairs as well.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I think Illy seems like trouble. Do you?- Yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- You know what I mean?- Yeah. - In a nice way, Illy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But I think you might have to watch him.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I don't think he's going to do your back any good whatsoever
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- with Illy mucking about.- No.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think people are going to have to be sensitive
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- towards your needs in today's show. - Thank you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Thank you very much, Richard.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, now, Gareth and David, as you'll have gathered,
0:03:06 > 0:03:07won the jackpot last time,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20So, all you have to remember is this -
0:03:20 > 0:03:22the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:22 > 0:03:24will be eliminated -
0:03:24 > 0:03:26that is all, that is it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:31 > 0:03:32It's Film Titles.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:33 > 0:03:36who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Film titles missing their numbers, Richard.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We're going to show you the names of seven films
0:03:51 > 0:03:54that have numbers in their titles, but we've missed those numbers out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Can you tell us what they are?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57There's going to be 14 to have a go at home.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK, so what are the numbers missing from these titles?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Here's our first board of seven.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04And we have...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Judith, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Very helpfully, you and Ann and Gareth and Grace
0:04:32 > 0:04:34are all on the same podiums you were on last time.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Spooky, isn't it?- Very.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I was thrilled when Ann picked out number one again, obviously(!)
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yes, it wasn't kind to you last time.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Maybe podium one owes you a favour, is what I'm thinking.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- I think it does actually. - Yeah.- Definitely.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Remind us what you do, Judith.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- I work for an IT company in Plymouth.- In Plymouth.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Live in Cornwall, work in Plymouth? How long does that take you?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Whereabouts in Cornwall are you? Which bit?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- I'm between Liskeard and Callington. - Lovely.- I'm out in the country.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Very nice indeed.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Now, Judith, these film titles.- Yes.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Are you a keen film watcher? - Reasonably, reasonably.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- I do know a couple on there, so it's not too bad.- OK.- Yeah.- OK.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14So, I think I will go for the top one, actually,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16which I think is Three Kings.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Three Kings, says Judith.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Let's if it's right, let's see how many people agree with Judith.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Three Kings.
0:05:27 > 0:05:2955. APPLAUSE
0:05:31 > 0:05:3255 for Three Kings.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yeah, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- It's a really good film. - Excellent film.- Really good film.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Thank you, Richard.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Gareth, welcome back.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Now, I have to say,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45you are the trailblazer of the Thomas family now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49There you are, you were our golden couple last time.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50All the way through to the head-to-head,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52you were literally in touching distance
0:05:52 > 0:05:55of that magnificent Pointless trophy.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Have you yet cleared a space
0:05:56 > 0:05:58for where the trophy will inevitably end up?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Uf, I didn't dare risk it. But we'd love it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Now, Gareth, remind us what you do. - I'm a vicar.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06And where is your parish?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's up in Daisy Hill in Wingates, just outside Bolton.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Outside Bolton. And is your dad still a vicar?- He's retired now.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- He's retired. But he's in Manchester? - That's right, yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, do you see much of him? Do you compare notes at all?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah, he helps out from time to time.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- He's a good man to have around. - That's nice. Very good.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Have you ever rung him on a Saturday night
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and said, "Oh, I haven't written my sermon for tomorrow, Dad.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- "Can I...?"- I haven't done.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Have you got one on the Annunciation?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I haven't done that yet, but you never know, there's time yet.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Worth bearing in mind.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Has he kept all of his?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41He's got a file somewhere?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I think he has. He's quite organised like that, yeah, yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I should find the file if I were you, Gareth -
0:06:45 > 0:06:46could save you a lot of time.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Now, Gareth, what are you going to go for?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I think I'm going to go for Big Hero 6.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Big Hero 6, says Gareth.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Let's see if that's right,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58let's see how many of our 100 people said Big Hero 6.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well, it beats 55. There we are.
0:07:06 > 0:07:0740 for Big Hero Six.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10APPLAUSE
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- And that won the Oscar for Best Animated Film in 2015.- Hm.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- It's also quite a nice film. - Yeah. It was OK.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah, it's serviceable. - It did a job, it did a job.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Nancy.- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- From Cambridge?- That's right, yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- And what do you do, Nancy? - I'm not working at the moment.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I have a little girl who's just turned two,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31so I spend most of my time running around after her.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34We say not working. Working your socks off, I should think.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- Just don't get paid.- Yes, exactly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Now, how did you and Alfred meet?
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Well, actually, we met at a murder mystery party a few years ago.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Alfred was hosting. He was Captain Welly...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Captain Welly, yeah. - ..a romantic poet
0:07:46 > 0:07:49who had a bit of problem with writing poetry, I seem to remember,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and I was Lady Caroline Molton, his muse, one of his muses.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57So, hang on - were you working professionally as characters,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- or you turn up with friends...? - No, no, not at all.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00You just join the thing?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's a whole weekend, is it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- No, it was just a night, actually. - A night.- Yeah.- Was it fun?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It was great fun, but I turned out to be the murderer,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and I don't know how I did it, I just have no idea.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12We never really uncovered quite what went on.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Did Captain Welly throw any light on that?- No, I don't think so.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Not a great deal.- How curious. I've never done one of these.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- It's good fun.- Oh, yeah. I should.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Now, Nancy, we're looking for numbers, missing numbers from films.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28How do you find that board?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I thought I'd find it easier than this, actually.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And there's a few that I think I know,
0:08:33 > 0:08:34but I'm going to have to go for the most...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36what I think is probably quite an obvious one.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39But I'm going to say The Magnificent Seven.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The Magnificent Seven, says Nancy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Let's see how many of our 100 said The Magnificent Seven.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, 55 is our high score...
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Till now.
0:08:49 > 0:08:5284. Wow. APPLAUSE
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Still, it's better than 100.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- 84.- That's a big score, though, isn't it?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58But it's actually quite a tough board, that, isn't it?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59It is quite tough.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02When you take the easy ones off, which I think we may have done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But, yeah...84.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- There we are.- Never to be forgotten. - Never indeed.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Illy, welcome to Pointless.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Illy, what do you do?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm a conductor on the trains in Blackpool.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17In Blackpool? What line are you on? How far do you travel?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21We work from Blackpool up to York, Manchester, Liverpool -
0:09:21 > 0:09:22all the northern area, basically.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- OK. How long have you done that for? - Nearly 11 years.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27On the same route all that time or...?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Yeah, same company, so, we've done the same routes.- That's very good.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32What are your interests outside train conducting?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I used to coach football - I did that for about 11 years,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36junior football.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Stopped about two years ago,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41but my son's just started where I finished, at the same club.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- So he's coaching as well? - Yeah, he's coaching.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- He played from five up to 16...- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48..started college, and then he's started training now, so...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Aw, fantastic.- Brilliant.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Do you ever go and watch him coaching?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- He doesn't want me there. Not allowed.- Not allowed?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Not allowed. - Well, after the incident?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58LAUGHTER Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- I'm just not allowed. It's that. - Yeah, oh, I see. Fair enough.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- Too much.- Fair enough.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Now, this board is all yours,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- and either that's going to thrill you or terrify you...- Terrify me.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08..depending how well you know your films.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I thought it was going to be a bit easier than what it is,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13but I'm going to have a punt at 28 Days Of Night.
0:10:13 > 0:10:1628 Days Of Night, says Illy. 28.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Now, Gareth is nodding in such a way that makes me think,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22"Gareth, why didn't you say that?"
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- I doubted myself. - Yes, well there we are.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2628 Days Of Night. Let's see if it's right,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28let's see how many people said 28 Days Of Night.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Oh, no.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Oh, you dodged one there, Gareth.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36There we are. Oh, bad luck, Illy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm afraid not 28 Days Of Night.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- That scores you 100 points. - I thought the same.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Sorry, Illy. You chose the wrong month
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- cos it's 30 Days Of Night...- Right. - ..I'm afraid.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Very close. 10 points for that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49They were all difficult, all the one's that remained.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It is 30 Minutes Or Less.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Can I just say, on behalf of Twitter,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56it's 30 minutes or fewer! LAUGHTER
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Just, yeah...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That would've scored 5 points.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03127 Hours.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06That would've scored 11 points.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And that would've scored you 32.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Well, what about that, Gareth?
0:11:17 > 0:11:1940 - best score of the pass.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's looking good for the Thomas family once again.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Then we travel up to 55, where we find Judith and Ann.
0:11:24 > 0:11:2784, Nancy and Alf,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and then up to 100 where we find Illy and Chris.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So, Chris, I mean, you're not that far in front, actually.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Nancy's helped you out a bit there.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37A really good low score from you, Chris, might keep you in the game.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46OK. Let's put seven more film titles up on the board
0:11:46 > 0:11:48with their missing numbers, and here they are.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Chris, a warm welcome.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Also from Blackpool,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and you're also train crew - is that right?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Yes, I'm a driver, yeah. - See, that's fun.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Sorry, not that what you do isn't fun, Illy.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I mean, the conducting is fun too -
0:12:21 > 0:12:23you get to meet lots of people -
0:12:23 > 0:12:26but driving, I mean, that's a dream come true, isn't it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It's great, to be fair, yeah. It's a good place to be.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Now, Chris, what are your interests outside of the cab?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I enjoy sport, I play sport,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I enjoy watching sport, I play cricket.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I've been in a band as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Recently left the band because of train driving,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- so that was quite a depart. - Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Being a train driver, quite handy for the band
0:12:43 > 0:12:44if you had to go somewhere fast.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah, we should've just done a train set, shouldn't we, really?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Long train running...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51What, so, literally, your train commitments...couldn't...?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Did the band call you in and say, "Listen, Chris, this is..."
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Well, it was me, to be fair.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58My wife's in the band and my brother,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and we were... It was affecting their work,
0:13:01 > 0:13:02so it was kind of make your decision,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and they kicked me out, so there you go.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- LAUGHTER - That's nice, isn't it?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08What about that? Don't like that at all.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- What was the band called? - The Versions.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- The Versions.- Yes.- The Versions.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14See, that's a good name, that is a good name.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16If you receive see The Versions, don't go and see them...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- until they reinstate Chris.- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20I'm sorry, Chris. I can only apologise.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Anyway, you're the high scorers - we need a low score from you here,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26so take in that board and find a nice low score.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Yeah...- It's not that easy, is it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I know, because, the last board, there was some,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I thought there was some weird scores.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34I do know a few,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36but I'm going to go for 10 Things I Hate About You.
0:13:36 > 0:13:3910 Things I Hate About You, says Chris. Let's see if it's right.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45It is 10.
0:13:47 > 0:13:4963, that scores you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53APPLAUSE 163 is your total.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Yeah, it's a modern take on Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Now, Alfred, a warm welcome. - Hi there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Or should I say Captain Welly?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Did you get to choose the names or they were foisted upon new?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08They were foisted upon us, yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10What do you do, Alfred?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I'm a university student money adviser.- Right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15So, literally, the student body can come to you,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17any student can come and say...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Yeah, the main things we do
0:14:19 > 0:14:22is we make sure that they're getting everything they're entitled to
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and then help them with budgeting
0:14:24 > 0:14:28so that when they get their grants and what have you...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30They don't lose it all in the first week.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- Hopefully, hopefully, yes.- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And what are your interests outside of that, Alfred?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I play badminton for a local club,
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I do yoga,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41and I'm keen...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Like, I go to lots of live music gigs
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and that sort of thing.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'm quite into folk music,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and living in Cambridge, I go to the Cambridge Folk Festival.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yeah, absolutely. - Going up later this year.- Very good.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57So, Alfred, there you are on 84.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00High scorers at the moment are Chris and Illy on 163.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You have to score 78 or less.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Right. Erm, yeah, there's a couple there I think I know.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07I'm not 100% sure.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'll go for 28 Days Later.
0:15:10 > 0:15:1228 Days Later. There's 28.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14There's your red line.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17If you can get below that with 28, you are through to the next round.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21It's right, and you are through.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Very well done.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2540.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28APPLAUSE It takes your total up to 124.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well played. I think that might've been the one Illy was thinking of.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Yeah, 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic horror film.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Now, Grace.... Grace, welcome back.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Remind us what you do, Grace.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- I'm a youth and children's worker at the moment.- Very good indeed.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48And, also, I mean, a full-time vicar's wife as well.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Yes.- I mean, that's quite a... That's...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Presumably, you know, living...
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Do you live in the vicarage next to the church?- Yes, we do.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58So, I mean, you have to be there to welcome all comers, don't you?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Well, yes, sometimes, yeah. - That's quite a full-time job.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And if you have time for other activities,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- what sort of other activities do you like to do?- I like...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I've suddenly discovered a liking for gardening.- Mm.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Is the vicarage garden a decent size?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Yes, we have got a very big garden. - Very nice.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17But, yeah, so, I only ever really like gardening if it's sunny,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19so it's a bit limiting.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- You want to get a coat, Grace, really.- Yes.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Yeah. No, so what sort of... Do you have vegetables, or do you...?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We're starting to grow some vegetables now.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Very good. Very exciting.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Now, you're through - this is good news.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It doesn't matter what you score,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34but let's have a good answer from you, Grace.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35I know a few on there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I think I'm going to go for This Is 40.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40This Is 40, says Grace.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42No red line cos you're already through.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Let's see how many people said This Is 40.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48It's right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Now, look at that. Down it goes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Look at that. 10.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56APPLAUSE Very well done indeed, Grace.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Best score of the round by some margin.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01That takes your total up to 50.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Very well played, Grace. Another great answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04We pointed out last time
0:17:04 > 0:17:06the only person not to be born into the Thomas family
0:17:06 > 0:17:08has been very much the lowest scorer
0:17:08 > 0:17:10of the six representatives of the family we've had.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yeah, notably.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Thank you very much.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Now then, Ann, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What do you do, Ann?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Well, I'm retired now,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24and so I enjoy playing a lot of golf.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Perfect. And you live up in Sheffield?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27I live in Sheffield, yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30And how long have you been playing golf? What's your handicap?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Should I say?- No, you don't have to answer that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- But it's more for the social... - It's teams, it's in the teams.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I see. Well, this is marvellous.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- But a really good gang of friends who you play with.- Yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Are you quite competitive as a golfer?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Um... Yes. - Yes, says Judith to that. Yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48So, is it really most days you'll be in the golf club?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Well, last week, it was every day,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55and I do put the pacer now on, you know, my app on the phone.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57So you can see how far you've...?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Yeah, so I roughly average between 6,0000 and 10,000 paces a day.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04See, 10,000 paces a day is extremely good -
0:18:04 > 0:18:06that's what we're all meant to aim for.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Maybe I need a treadmill here. That would sort out my...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10That's is a really good idea.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I could power all these podiums with my tread.- Lovely idea.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- I've got a little bike under here. - I see that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Yeah.- Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Powers your laptop, doesn't it? - It does, yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Makes you grow, Richard. - Yeah.- Exactly that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Ann, again, you're already through, so it doesn't matter what you score,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27but, for fun, do you want to talk us through this board?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Er, wish I could.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30They're all guesses.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32So I'm just going to guess, actually,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34at I Am Number One.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I Am Number One.- It's a guess. - I Am Number One, says Ann.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Well, no red line - you're already through.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's see how many people said one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Bad luck.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47An incorrect answer there scores you 100 points,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49takes your total up to 155, but you're through.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yeah, it's I Am Number Four, unfortunately. I Am Number Four.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Would've scored 14 points.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- The top one, which is probably the easiest one to guess.- 10.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Starter For 10, a film about University Challenge.
0:19:00 > 0:19:0255 points for that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03- 8 Mile.- 8 Mile.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Eminem's film. Would've scored you 54.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- And from 1984....- Sixteen Candles. - Sixteen Candles.
0:19:10 > 0:19:1118 points for that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Best answer on the board, then, was This Is 40, Grace - well played.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Thanks very much.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:19:19 > 0:19:20I'm sorry to say, it's Chris and Illy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Not that far ahead of everyone else, but we will see you again next time.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Look forward to that,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27but in the meantime, thanks very much, Chris and Illy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Cheers, thank you. Good luck. - APPLAUSE
0:19:29 > 0:19:32But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Well done, our three remaining pairs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41You'll have noticed that one of the four pairs we had
0:19:41 > 0:19:43has just disappeared -
0:19:43 > 0:19:45that, I'm afraid, will happen again at the end of this round.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The highest-scoring pair will be leaving us.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, Grace and Gareth, superb.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Our lowest joint score,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54our lowest individual score, Grace - very well done to you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Nancy and Alfred, well done -
0:19:56 > 0:19:58you finally found a use for number 28, which was great,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and Ann and Judith,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04you just made it through there thanks to our other high scorers.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06But, anyway, welcome to Round Two, everyone.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Our category this afternoon for Round Two is Words.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's a Words round. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:12 > 0:20:15who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Words ending in T-A-R-Y, Richard.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Yeah, any word with its own entry
0:20:33 > 0:20:38in oxforddictionaries.com English section, please, which ends T-A-R-Y.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and very, very best of luck.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48So...Ann...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51OK. Supplementary.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Supplementary, says Ann.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Supplementary. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07That's a great answer, Ann.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09APPLAUSE Very well done indeed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:113 for supplementary.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Great start, Ann. Very well played. Yeah, supplementary.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17- Extra.- Extra.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Extra supple....which is what you need to be.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27No, no, no - I don't like that look, Gareth, at all.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- It's not good...- No, no, no. - Not my strong suit.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Terrible speller. - GARETH CHUCKLES
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Erm...going to go with military.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Military, says Gareth. Military.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:5120. APPLAUSE
0:21:52 > 0:21:5420 for military.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Well played. Yeah, military,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58er...the art of selling millets.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00AUDIENCE CHUCKLES

0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Nancy.- Hello.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Nancy, what would you like to go for?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Erm...
0:22:09 > 0:22:12If I'm spelling it right, I'm going to go for complimentary.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Complimentary, says Nancy.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said complimentary.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Look at that. Not bad at all. 11.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28APPLAUSE
0:22:30 > 0:22:3111.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Yeah, paying a compliment.- Hm.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36That's nice, isn't it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That is nice, that is nice. Thank you very much.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41We're halfway through the round - let's look at those scores.
0:22:41 > 0:22:423, the best score of that pass.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Very well done indeed, Ann.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Then up to 11, where we find Nancy and Alfred,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49then up to 20, Gareth and Grace.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Grace, you don't need me to tell you what we need from you,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54but, yes, I have every faith you will find a lovely low score.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Now than...Alfred... Alfred.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK. Erm, notary.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Notary, says Alfred. Very good indeed.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Here's your red line - if you can get below that with notary,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15you are definitely into the head-to-head.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17How many of our 100 said notary?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Ooh, 12! APPLAUSE
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Not bad.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It takes your total up to 23.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Yeah, a person authorised to carry out certain legal formalities -
0:23:36 > 0:23:37a notary.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now then, Grace,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- we need a score of two or less from you, Grace.- OK.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I've got one that's fairly obvious
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and I've got one that's a bit risky,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51so I think I'm going to go for the one that's a bit risky,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53erm, and I think rotary.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Rotary. Rotary, says Grace.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00There's your red line - very low. Can you get below that with rotary?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02HE INHALES DEEPLY Let's see.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's right.
0:24:11 > 0:24:1217.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE
0:24:15 > 0:24:1737 is your total.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Revolving around a centre or axis.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- And a bit like a rotor.- A bit.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Rotary. It's very rotary. - Thank you very much.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- And Rotary Club, of course.- Indeed.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Lots of places up and down the country have those.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Now, Judith. Judith, this is very exciting.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- We have to have a score of 33 or less from you.- OK.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah, I have a few in my head.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I don't think I'll go for anything too risky,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47so I will go for rudimentary.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Rudimentary, says Judith.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Here's your red line -
0:24:50 > 0:24:53get below that with rudimentary, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said rudimentary.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03You've done it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It's a good answer. Look at that. 3.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09You equal Ann with supplementary. APPLAUSE
0:25:09 > 0:25:106 is your total.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Very, very well done indeed.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Terrific stuff on that first podium.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'll take you through some of the low scorers here -
0:25:16 > 0:25:183 is the best score we've had in the round.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Let's take a look at anything that scored less than 3.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24You'd have got 2 points for unsanitary, parliamentary,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26fragmentary, proprietary.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29You'd have got 1 point for tributary, uncomplimentary,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32insanitary, paramilitary and interplanetary -
0:25:32 > 0:25:34all of those, very good answers,
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- You could have unparliamentary, couldn't you?- You could...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- You're about to see it. - That would be lovely.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Mockumentary is a pointless answer - that's in the dictionary.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So is shockumentary and rockumentary,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and they're both pointless as well.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Nonhereditary is all one word.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Protonotary - so it's a type of notary.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Alf, if only you'd known a protonotary.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Salutary is a pointless answer - well done if you said that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Testamentary, er, un...undersecretary.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03I wondered what that meant.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- "Under-secretary?" - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Undersecretary was a pointless answer - well done if you said that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Unmilitary - that's a pointless answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Unparliamentary and vestimentary.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Military, actually, the third highest scorer of all.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Momentary, 32...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and elementary also 32, up at the top there.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32oh, I can't bear delivering this news.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38I'm so sorry, Grace and Gareth - I'm afraid the Thomas line ends here.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Do you think the rest of the Thomases will be secretly pleased?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- Yes.- Yes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Well...I think order's been restored, hasn't it? I think.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It's been wonderful having you. Absolutely fantastic play,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and I have to make special mention of Grace's superb efforts.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Grace and Gareth, been lovely having you on the show.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Thanks so much for playing. APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Very well done, Nancy and Alfred, Ann and Judith.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Well, you know the score at this point -
0:27:18 > 0:27:19you can start playing as teams.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21We're going to make you go head-to-head -
0:27:21 > 0:27:24first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, Ann and Judith, Round One last time -
0:27:26 > 0:27:28oh, here we are in the hallowed portals
0:27:28 > 0:27:30of the head-to-head this time.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31And Nancy and Alfred,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34straight through as our lowest scorers on your first appearance.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36We've had great answers from each of you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39This will be very, very hard to separate, I think,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41but let's see what happens - it's going to be exciting.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Orchestral instruments, Richard. - We're going to show five pictures
0:27:56 > 0:27:58of instruments found in a modern orchestra -
0:27:58 > 0:28:00you just have to tell us what they are.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01We've given you their initials as well.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04OK, let's reveal our five images, and here they come.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05We have got...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29There we are. Five instruments.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Nancy and Alfred, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34see you go will go first.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- WHISPER: - 'I think E is tubular bells.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- 'Shall we go for it? - Yeah, let's go for it.'
0:28:39 > 0:28:41OK, we're going to go for E,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43which we think is tubular bells.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Tubular bells, say Nancy and Alfred.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Now then, Ann and Judith,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49talk us through the rest of the board.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53We know B is cello, trumpet,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55and we're not sure on D.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Do we know?- I think, I think...
0:28:57 > 0:28:58I don't know if C is trumpet -
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I think C might be tuba.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Let's go B, cello.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- OK, so our answer is B, cello. - B, cello.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So we have tubular bells, and we have cello.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Nancy and Alfred said tubular bells.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Let's see if that's right for E, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It's right.
0:29:18 > 0:29:2064. Quite high.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Tubular bells. APPLAUSE
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Ann and Judith have gone for cello.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29let's see if that's right for B, let's see how many people said that.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33It's right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35And... Ooh, look at that - 78. That is high.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37APPLAUSE
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Two very high scores, but Nancy and Alfred, yours was less high,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43which means after one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Those are the two highest scorers on the board, actually.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I suspect you'll be able to walk us through this one.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49I can talk you through those.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- A, the timpani.- Timpani.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54That would've scored you 33 points.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- C is...- Tuba.- ..tuba.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- It's very shiny, beautifully... - Thank you very much. 42 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I... I shined it myself.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yeah, absolutely beautiful.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- And D...- D is a cor anglais. - ..is a cor anglais.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And that would've scored you 15 points.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Always makes me laugh that name, cor anglais.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- It's quite funny...- An English horn.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's an English horn, which is even funnier.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Here comes your second question.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Ann and Judith, you have to win this to stay in the game,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22but you get to answer it first, so it's all good.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Things found at a swimming pool, Richard.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We're going to show you five anagrams now
0:30:32 > 0:30:34of things you might find at a swimming pool -
0:30:34 > 0:30:36can you unscramble them, please?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39OK, Let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40We've got...
0:30:54 > 0:30:55There we go.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57So, Ann and Judith,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00feel free to chat that through amongst yourselves.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Goggles is two.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I think that'll be easy.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04You do? I don't know the others.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Swimming trunks.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- Shall I go for that?- Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13We're going to go for swimming trunks,
0:31:13 > 0:31:14muting Mrs Winks.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16OK, you're going say swimming trunks.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Nancy and Alfred, talk us through the board.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Now, we're not very good at anagrams, I don't think.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24We've got one.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Erm... Shall we go for that one?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28- What do you think?- Hm...
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Yeah, we're going to have to go for that one, I think.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33OK, we are going to go for goggles,
0:31:33 > 0:31:34egg logs, goggles.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Egg logs, goggles.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38So, we have swimming trunks, and we have goggles.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Ann and Judith said swimming trunks - is it right, how many people said it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:44It is right.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50There we are. 24.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53APPLAUSE
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Good score.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Nancy and Alfred meanwhile have gone for goggles for egg logs.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Let's see if that's right.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02if it is, let's see how many people said goggles.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1052. APPLAUSE
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Well done, Ann and Judith. Exactly what you needed to do.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-all.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It's difficult, isn't it, cos none of them are quite long enough for
0:32:18 > 0:32:21small child surreptitiously having a wee in the shallow end.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- LAUGHTER - Now, the top one...
0:32:25 > 0:32:26..is diving board.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30That would've scored you 31. The bottom one...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33..is lifeguard.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35That would've scored 17.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- And the best answer, leader wits. - That is water slide.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Water slide, yeah. And that would've scored you 3 points.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Whoever wins this goes through
0:32:45 > 0:32:47to the final and has a crack at that jackpot,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49so best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Thailand, Richard.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Going to show you five clues to facts about the country of Thailand.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58The team that gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:58 > 0:33:00is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05We've got...
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Nancy and Alfred, it's back with you.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41OK. Erm, we're not sure about too many of them,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44but I think we're going to go for the bottom one,
0:33:44 > 0:33:48and that's the author of The Beach, is Alex Garland.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Alex Garland, say Nancy and Alfred. Alex Garland.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Now, Ann and Judith, over to you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57We know The Bridge On The River Kwai...
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- ..but we're going to go... I don't know the other two.- No.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03So we're going to go with the unit of currency,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05which is the baht.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07The baht. The baht.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09So, we have Alex Garland, we have the baht.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Nancy and Alfred have gone for
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Alex Garland, the author of The Beach -
0:34:13 > 0:34:14let's see if that's right.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17It is right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Ooh, look at that - it's a great answer.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25And it's gone. It scores 6.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27APPLAUSE
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Very well done indeed.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Ann and Judith meanwhile have gone for the baht, the unit of currency.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38It's right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Ooh, 45. A high score there. APPLAUSE
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Which means, very well done, Nancy and Alfred.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Alex Garland was the best answer on the board -
0:34:52 > 0:34:54nothing you could've done about that, I'm afraid.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56The river is the River Kwai, of course.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Would've scored you 76.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02The three colours are red, blue and white.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04That would've scored 11.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07What do you think the national animal of Thailand is?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- I don't know, is it a chaffinch? I don't know.- It's not.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- It's a badger.- Aw... - It's not really a badger.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- It's an elephant.- An elephant! - There you go.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Of course it's an elephant. - That would've scored 13 points.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19There we are. Thank you very much.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20OK, so the pair leaving us
0:35:20 > 0:35:23at the end of the head-to-head round, Ann and Judith.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Well, a much improved performance this time
0:35:25 > 0:35:28and some great answering from you throughout the show.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I'm afraid it's the end of the road for you.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33We have to say goodbye. It's been wonderful having you.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Thank you for playing.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Ann and Judith. APPLAUSE
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But, for Nancy and Alfred, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Very well done indeed, Nancy and Alfred.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48You've seen off all the competition
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Whey!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:58 > 0:36:02and at the end of today's show, the jackpot remains at £1,000.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Well, what a strong performance.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Very good indeed.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08First time on Pointless, through to the final,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10no arguing with that.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13And Alex Garland came just at the right moment there, didn't it?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Anything in particular you want to see come up on this last round?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Well, we both really love music,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20so maybe something from... I don't know,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Stranglers albums, maybe, would be good.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24- That'd be good.- Yeah.- OK.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27As always, you get to choose your category from the four we put up.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Let's see what we've got today.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30We have...
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Oh, gosh. I would say either TV spin-offs
0:36:39 > 0:36:41or chart music, contemporary chart music.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Hm...- What do you think?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Hm... Yeah, I'm not sure. Hm...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I think the TV spin-offs. I think we'll have to go for that.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- I think we'll have to go for TV spin-offs.- TV spin-offs, it is.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57We're looking for the name of any actor according to IMDB
0:36:57 > 0:37:00who's received five or more acting credits
0:37:00 > 0:37:02in any of the following series, please.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05So, five or more credits in the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07five or more appearances in
0:37:07 > 0:37:10the follow-up to Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes,
0:37:10 > 0:37:11or five or more appearances in
0:37:11 > 0:37:14the Only Fools and Horses spin-off, The Green Green Grass.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16So, five or more performances, any actor,
0:37:16 > 0:37:20in Torchwood, Ashes to Ashes or The Green Green Grass.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26All you need to win that jackpot of £1,000
0:37:26 > 0:37:28is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Are you ready?- Yes.- Good.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36OK, Torchwood, I don't really know it,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- but I know that's somebody called John...- John Barrymore.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- But I think he'll be a really big scorer.- He'll be popular.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Ashes To Ashes, I know the woman in it, but again...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- She's really beautiful, she used to be model.- Mm-hm.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- I can't think of her name. - My mind's gone blank.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51But The Green Green Grass is a follow-up
0:37:51 > 0:37:53to Only Fools And Horses, I'm pretty sure,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56and I'm thinking the actor that played Trigger.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Do you remember what he was called? Cos he's got a daughter who's...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Davies. Was it something Davies?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Hm... Erm...- And who else was in...?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Think of who was in Only Fools And Horses -
0:38:06 > 0:38:07maybe it might help.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- OK, there was Nicholas Lyndhurst. - Nicholas Lyndhurst. Worth a try.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I can't remember him being in it.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Erm... Oh, did you ever watch,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18did you watch the one before Ashes To Ashes, Life On Mars?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- John Simms.- Yeah. - He was in Life On Mars -
0:38:21 > 0:38:23maybe he came into Ashes To Ashes - who knows.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Shall we go for John Simms? - Ten seconds left.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Maybe go for John Barrymore... - Yeah. OK, John Barry...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Barrowman, isn't it?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- No, Barrymore.- Barrowman, yeah. - John Barrowman.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- OK, that's your time up, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Yes, that was quite a tough category, that one, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Let's have your three, your three answers.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- OK, we're going for John Barrowman. - John Barrowman.- Yeah.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- OK. From...?- From Torchwood, sorry. - Torchwood, John Barrowman.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Ashes To Ashes... Was it John Simms?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Yeah, we're going to go for John Simms.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- I think he was in the one before. - John Simms, OK.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- And The Green Green Grass Of Home... - Nicholas Lyndhurst?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Yeah, Nicholas Lyndhurst. - Nicholas Lyndhurst. OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- THEY CHUCKLE - None of them.- None of them.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Maybe...- John Simms.- ..John Simms. - John Simms.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Least likely to be Pointless?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14John Barrowman.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18and here they are.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21We've got John Barrowman, we've got Nicholas Lyndhurst,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23and we've got John Simms.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Well, very best of luck.- Thank you.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28That was a tough category there for you, I fear,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30but you never know, you never know.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Peoples have sometimes landed on
0:39:32 > 0:39:35correct - and even pointless - answers by accident.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Let's say that were to happen now,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40what would you do with your share of the winnings, Nancy?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I think I'd probably spend it on my daughter.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46We've just moved, and she's got her own room now,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48so I'd like to buy some things for her room -
0:39:48 > 0:39:50maybe some of those big floor cushions.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- She's a bit of an acrobat, so maybe some stuff for her.- Perfect.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Alfred, how about you?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I'd like to put it towards a trip to Nashville in Tennessee.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Excellent. Very good indeed. Well, fingers crossed.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04One of these answers might win that jackpot for you. Let's see.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Is it going to be your first answer, John Barrowman?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10In this case, we were looking for members of the cast of Torchwood.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Barrowman.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well, it's right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Probably not that surprising.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24But let's see how far down the column
0:40:24 > 0:40:25we get with John...
0:40:25 > 0:40:2647. There we are.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- At least we were right, yeah. - APPLAUSE
0:40:31 > 0:40:33There we are. Not a pointless answer,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Next answer was Nicholas Lyndhurst.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40We were looking for cast members of The Green Green Grass.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Let's see how many people said Nicholas Lyndhurst.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Ooh. Bad luck.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Not in The Green Green Grass,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55And your last answer is John Simms.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58In this case, we were looking for cast members of Ashes To Ashes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00If John Simms is right and if it is pointless,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02you will leave you with £1,000.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04How many people said John Simms?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10APPLAUSE
0:41:10 > 0:41:12A really tough category for you, that one.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But you came up with three...possible answers, anyway.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000 -
0:41:21 > 0:41:24that rolls over on to the next show. But it's been great having you,
0:41:24 > 0:41:26and you get a Pointless trophy each for your trouble, so there we are.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Thanks very much, Nancy and Alfred. - Thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Yeah, it's unlucky. It was John Simm,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37but he wasn't in it anyway, John Simm,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40so the point is moot, I think.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46For Torchwood, you could've had Bill Pullman,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48would've been a pointless answer. Gareth David-Lloyd.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51You could've had Lauren Ambrose, Naoko Mori.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Everyone was pointless apart from John Barrowman, Eve Myles,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Burn Gorman, Peter Capaldi and Kai Owen.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Well done if you said anybody else from that cast.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at Ashes To Ashes.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Adrian Dunbar was a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Joseph Long, Montserrat Lombard, Stephen Campbell Moore.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Again, everyone apart from Philip Glenister,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Keeley Hawes, Marshall Lancaster and Dean Andrews.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Everybody else was a pointless answer,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17anyone who's in five or more of those.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18And Green Green Grass...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You could've had Alan David, Ella Kenion,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Ivan Kaye, Peter Heppelthwaite.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Everyone in that apart from John Challis,
0:42:26 > 0:42:27who's obviously Boycie,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Jack Doolan and Sue Holderness, who plays Marlene.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Those were the only answers that scored any points.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Nicholas Lyndhurst was in it in a brief bit of archive,
0:42:36 > 0:42:37as was Roger Lloyd-Pack,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- but certainly not in five episodes.- OK.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Nancy and Alfred,
0:42:44 > 0:42:45but it's been fantastic having you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Great performance across the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Nancy and Alfred. APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Well, Nancy and Alfred didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58when we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Join us next to see if someone can win it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
