APPLAUSE

0:00:190:00:21

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:210:00:23

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,

0:00:230:00:26

the game where you are always aiming for the lowest score.

0:00:260:00:28

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:280:00:30

And couple number one.

0:00:340:00:35

Hello, I'm Judith, and I live in Cornwall,

0:00:350:00:38

and this is my sister, Ann, and she lives in Sheffield.

0:00:380:00:40

Couple number two.

0:00:400:00:42

Hello, I'm Gareth, this is my wife, Grace,

0:00:420:00:44

and we're from Bolton.

0:00:440:00:45

Couple number three.

0:00:450:00:46

Hello, my name is Nancy, this is my friend Alf,

0:00:460:00:48

and we're from Cambridge.

0:00:480:00:50

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:500:00:51

Hiya, I'm Illy, this is Chris, and we're train crew from Blackpool.

0:00:510:00:55

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:550:00:56

A warm welcome to you all. Thank you very much.

0:00:590:01:01

We will find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:010:01:04

So that leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:040:01:06

To appeal to a younger audience today,

0:01:060:01:08

he's only giving answers in emoticons -

0:01:080:01:10

smiley face, smiley face, balloon, party hat,

0:01:100:01:12

winking ghost, love hearts, processing monk.

0:01:120:01:14

It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:140:01:16

Hiya. Hi, everybody. Afternoon.

0:01:160:01:20

-Ah, how are you today?

-I'm... Do you know what?

0:01:210:01:24

I'm getting Pointless back.

0:01:240:01:26

-Are you?

-Yeah, yeah, Pointless back.

0:01:260:01:28

You need to see the physio, or get one of those foam rollers.

0:01:280:01:31

-That's what I need - a foam roller.

-Ah!

-Pointless back.

0:01:310:01:33

I think it's cos... I stand so badly when we're recording.

0:01:330:01:36

-Like that?

-You know, have you ever spotted...?

0:01:360:01:38

I rarely look in your direction, if I'm honest.

0:01:380:01:40

Well... LAUGHTER

0:01:400:01:42

What we should get is a wire from up there

0:01:420:01:44

and I could just, I could be suspended.

0:01:440:01:46

-Oh, that's a lovely idea.

-I could very gently spin.

0:01:460:01:48

Or have you sitting down.

0:01:480:01:49

If we do this for a few more years, you'll have to be sitting down.

0:01:490:01:52

Oh, I will. Or maybe I'd have a very discreet stool.

0:01:520:01:54

ALEXANDER LAUGHS That's...

0:01:540:01:56

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:01:560:01:58

You know what? That may explain the back problem.

0:01:580:02:01

Now, we had our hairiest ever jackpot winners last time,

0:02:010:02:05

-Gareth and David, with their very impressive beards.

-Very.

0:02:050:02:08

And on today's show, another bit of Pointless history, possibly,

0:02:080:02:11

cos Gareth and Grace are back.

0:02:110:02:13

Now, Gareth...

0:02:130:02:15

A long time ago, we had a gentleman

0:02:150:02:16

called the Reverend Tom Thomas on the show,

0:02:160:02:18

came on with one of his sons.

0:02:180:02:20

-Came on two shows, didn't win.

-No.

0:02:200:02:22

About a year later, another of his sons came on with a cousin,

0:02:220:02:25

so two more members of the Thomas family -

0:02:250:02:27

two shows, didn't win.

0:02:270:02:28

Now, Gareth is yet another son.

0:02:280:02:30

He's had one show so far, didn't win.

0:02:300:02:33

So we are having no more Thomases on ever again after this, Gareth.

0:02:330:02:36

Just so you know, the drawbridge is now up.

0:02:360:02:38

-No pressure.

-This, Gareth and Grace,

0:02:380:02:40

is the last chance for the Thomas family

0:02:400:02:41

to win a Pointless trophy.

0:02:410:02:43

The last chance.

0:02:430:02:44

And we welcome two new pairs as well.

0:02:440:02:47

-I think Illy seems like trouble. Do you?

-Yes.

0:02:470:02:50

-You know what I mean?

-Yeah.

-In a nice way, Illy.

0:02:500:02:52

But I think you might have to watch him.

0:02:520:02:55

I don't think he's going to do your back any good whatsoever

0:02:550:02:57

-with Illy mucking about.

-No.

0:02:570:02:58

I think people are going to have to be sensitive

0:02:580:03:00

-towards your needs in today's show.

-Thank you.

0:03:000:03:02

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:03:020:03:04

OK, now, Gareth and David, as you'll have gathered,

0:03:040:03:06

won the jackpot last time,

0:03:060:03:07

so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.

0:03:070:03:11

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:110:03:13

So, all you have to remember is this -

0:03:180:03:20

the pair with the highest score at the end of each round

0:03:200:03:22

will be eliminated -

0:03:220:03:24

that is all, that is it.

0:03:240:03:26

Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:03:260:03:27

Our first category this afternoon is...

0:03:270:03:30

It's Film Titles.

0:03:310:03:32

Can you all decide in your pairs

0:03:320:03:33

who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:03:330:03:36

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:360:03:38

OK, and the question concerns...

0:03:420:03:43

Film titles missing their numbers, Richard.

0:03:470:03:49

We're going to show you the names of seven films

0:03:490:03:51

that have numbers in their titles, but we've missed those numbers out.

0:03:510:03:54

Can you tell us what they are?

0:03:540:03:55

There's going to be 14 to have a go at home.

0:03:550:03:57

-Very best of luck.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:03:570:03:59

OK, so what are the numbers missing from these titles?

0:03:590:04:01

Here's our first board of seven.

0:04:010:04:03

And we have...

0:04:030:04:04

I'll read those all one last time.

0:04:170:04:19

-Judith, welcome back to Pointless.

-Thank you.

0:04:270:04:29

Very helpfully, you and Ann and Gareth and Grace

0:04:290:04:32

are all on the same podiums you were on last time.

0:04:320:04:34

-Spooky, isn't it?

-Very.

0:04:340:04:36

I was thrilled when Ann picked out number one again, obviously(!)

0:04:360:04:39

Yes, it wasn't kind to you last time.

0:04:390:04:41

Maybe podium one owes you a favour, is what I'm thinking.

0:04:410:04:44

-I think it does actually.

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

0:04:440:04:46

Remind us what you do, Judith.

0:04:460:04:47

-I work for an IT company in Plymouth.

-In Plymouth.

0:04:470:04:51

Live in Cornwall, work in Plymouth? How long does that take you?

0:04:510:04:54

Whereabouts in Cornwall are you? Which bit?

0:04:540:04:56

-I'm between Liskeard and Callington.

-Lovely.

-I'm out in the country.

0:04:560:04:59

Very nice indeed.

0:04:590:05:01

-Now, Judith, these film titles.

-Yes.

0:05:010:05:03

-Are you a keen film watcher?

-Reasonably, reasonably.

0:05:030:05:07

-I do know a couple on there, so it's not too bad.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:05:070:05:10

So, I think I will go for the top one, actually,

0:05:100:05:14

which I think is Three Kings.

0:05:140:05:16

Three Kings, says Judith.

0:05:160:05:17

Let's if it's right, let's see how many people agree with Judith.

0:05:170:05:20

Three Kings.

0:05:200:05:21

55. APPLAUSE

0:05:270:05:29

55 for Three Kings.

0:05:310:05:32

Yeah, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube.

0:05:320:05:34

-It's a really good film.

-Excellent film.

-Really good film.

0:05:340:05:37

Thank you, Richard.

0:05:370:05:38

Gareth, welcome back.

0:05:380:05:40

Now, I have to say,

0:05:400:05:41

you are the trailblazer of the Thomas family now.

0:05:410:05:45

There you are, you were our golden couple last time.

0:05:450:05:49

All the way through to the head-to-head,

0:05:490:05:50

you were literally in touching distance

0:05:500:05:52

of that magnificent Pointless trophy.

0:05:520:05:55

Have you yet cleared a space

0:05:550:05:56

for where the trophy will inevitably end up?

0:05:560:05:58

Uf, I didn't dare risk it. But we'd love it.

0:05:580:06:02

-Now, Gareth, remind us what you do.

-I'm a vicar.

0:06:020:06:04

And where is your parish?

0:06:040:06:06

It's up in Daisy Hill in Wingates, just outside Bolton.

0:06:060:06:09

-Outside Bolton. And is your dad still a vicar?

-He's retired now.

0:06:090:06:13

-He's retired. But he's in Manchester?

-That's right, yes.

0:06:130:06:15

So, do you see much of him? Do you compare notes at all?

0:06:150:06:18

Yeah, he helps out from time to time.

0:06:180:06:20

-He's a good man to have around.

-That's nice. Very good.

0:06:200:06:23

Have you ever rung him on a Saturday night

0:06:230:06:25

and said, "Oh, I haven't written my sermon for tomorrow, Dad.

0:06:250:06:28

-"Can I...?"

-I haven't done.

0:06:280:06:30

Have you got one on the Annunciation?

0:06:300:06:32

I haven't done that yet, but you never know, there's time yet.

0:06:320:06:35

Worth bearing in mind.

0:06:350:06:36

Has he kept all of his?

0:06:360:06:37

He's got a file somewhere?

0:06:370:06:41

I think he has. He's quite organised like that, yeah, yeah.

0:06:410:06:43

I should find the file if I were you, Gareth -

0:06:430:06:45

could save you a lot of time.

0:06:450:06:46

Now, Gareth, what are you going to go for?

0:06:460:06:48

I think I'm going to go for Big Hero 6.

0:06:490:06:52

Big Hero 6, says Gareth.

0:06:520:06:54

Let's see if that's right,

0:06:540:06:55

let's see how many of our 100 people said Big Hero 6.

0:06:550:06:58

Well, it beats 55. There we are.

0:07:030:07:06

40 for Big Hero Six.

0:07:060:07:07

APPLAUSE

0:07:070:07:10

-And that won the Oscar for Best Animated Film in 2015.

-Hm.

0:07:100:07:13

-It's also quite a nice film.

-Yeah. It was OK.

0:07:130:07:16

-Yeah, it's serviceable.

-It did a job, it did a job.

0:07:160:07:19

-Nancy.

-Hello.

-Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.

0:07:190:07:22

-From Cambridge?

-That's right, yes.

0:07:220:07:24

-And what do you do, Nancy?

-I'm not working at the moment.

0:07:240:07:26

I have a little girl who's just turned two,

0:07:260:07:28

so I spend most of my time running around after her.

0:07:280:07:31

We say not working. Working your socks off, I should think.

0:07:310:07:34

-Just don't get paid.

-Yes, exactly.

0:07:340:07:35

Now, how did you and Alfred meet?

0:07:350:07:37

Well, actually, we met at a murder mystery party a few years ago.

0:07:370:07:42

Alfred was hosting. He was Captain Welly...

0:07:420:07:44

-Captain Welly, yeah.

-..a romantic poet

0:07:440:07:46

who had a bit of problem with writing poetry, I seem to remember,

0:07:460:07:49

and I was Lady Caroline Molton, his muse, one of his muses.

0:07:490:07:53

So, hang on - were you working professionally as characters,

0:07:530:07:57

-or you turn up with friends...?

-No, no, not at all.

0:07:570:07:59

You just join the thing?

0:07:590:08:00

It's a whole weekend, is it?

0:08:000:08:02

-No, it was just a night, actually.

-A night.

-Yeah.

-Was it fun?

0:08:020:08:05

It was great fun, but I turned out to be the murderer,

0:08:050:08:08

and I don't know how I did it, I just have no idea.

0:08:080:08:10

We never really uncovered quite what went on.

0:08:100:08:12

-Did Captain Welly throw any light on that?

-No, I don't think so.

0:08:120:08:16

-Not a great deal.

-How curious. I've never done one of these.

0:08:160:08:20

-It's good fun.

-Oh, yeah. I should.

0:08:200:08:22

Now, Nancy, we're looking for numbers, missing numbers from films.

0:08:220:08:26

How do you find that board?

0:08:260:08:28

I thought I'd find it easier than this, actually.

0:08:280:08:31

And there's a few that I think I know,

0:08:310:08:33

but I'm going to have to go for the most...

0:08:330:08:34

what I think is probably quite an obvious one.

0:08:340:08:36

But I'm going to say The Magnificent Seven.

0:08:360:08:39

The Magnificent Seven, says Nancy.

0:08:390:08:41

Let's see how many of our 100 said The Magnificent Seven.

0:08:410:08:44

Well, 55 is our high score...

0:08:460:08:48

Till now.

0:08:480:08:49

84. Wow. APPLAUSE

0:08:490:08:52

Still, it's better than 100.

0:08:520:08:54

-84.

-That's a big score, though, isn't it?

0:08:540:08:55

But it's actually quite a tough board, that, isn't it?

0:08:550:08:58

It is quite tough.

0:08:580:08:59

When you take the easy ones off, which I think we may have done.

0:08:590:09:02

But, yeah...84.

0:09:020:09:05

-There we are.

-Never to be forgotten.

-Never indeed.

0:09:050:09:08

Illy, welcome to Pointless.

0:09:080:09:10

Illy, what do you do?

0:09:100:09:11

I'm a conductor on the trains in Blackpool.

0:09:110:09:14

In Blackpool? What line are you on? How far do you travel?

0:09:140:09:17

We work from Blackpool up to York, Manchester, Liverpool -

0:09:170:09:21

all the northern area, basically.

0:09:210:09:22

-OK. How long have you done that for?

-Nearly 11 years.

0:09:220:09:25

On the same route all that time or...?

0:09:250:09:27

-Yeah, same company, so, we've done the same routes.

-That's very good.

0:09:270:09:30

What are your interests outside train conducting?

0:09:300:09:32

I used to coach football - I did that for about 11 years,

0:09:320:09:34

junior football.

0:09:340:09:36

Stopped about two years ago,

0:09:360:09:38

but my son's just started where I finished, at the same club.

0:09:380:09:41

-So he's coaching as well?

-Yeah, he's coaching.

0:09:410:09:43

-He played from five up to 16...

-Yeah.

0:09:430:09:46

..started college, and then he's started training now, so...

0:09:460:09:48

-Aw, fantastic.

-Brilliant.

0:09:480:09:50

Do you ever go and watch him coaching?

0:09:500:09:51

-He doesn't want me there. Not allowed.

-Not allowed?

0:09:510:09:53

-Not allowed.

-Well, after the incident?

0:09:530:09:55

LAUGHTER Yeah.

0:09:550:09:58

-I'm just not allowed. It's that.

-Yeah, oh, I see. Fair enough.

0:09:580:10:01

-Too much.

-Fair enough.

0:10:010:10:02

Now, this board is all yours,

0:10:020:10:03

-and either that's going to thrill you or terrify you...

-Terrify me.

0:10:030:10:06

..depending how well you know your films.

0:10:060:10:08

I thought it was going to be a bit easier than what it is,

0:10:080:10:10

but I'm going to have a punt at 28 Days Of Night.

0:10:100:10:13

28 Days Of Night, says Illy. 28.

0:10:130:10:16

Now, Gareth is nodding in such a way that makes me think,

0:10:160:10:20

"Gareth, why didn't you say that?"

0:10:200:10:22

-I doubted myself.

-Yes, well there we are.

0:10:220:10:24

28 Days Of Night. Let's see if it's right,

0:10:240:10:26

let's see how many people said 28 Days Of Night.

0:10:260:10:28

Oh, no.

0:10:300:10:32

Oh, you dodged one there, Gareth.

0:10:320:10:34

There we are. Oh, bad luck, Illy.

0:10:340:10:36

I'm afraid not 28 Days Of Night.

0:10:360:10:38

-That scores you 100 points.

-I thought the same.

0:10:380:10:40

Sorry, Illy. You chose the wrong month

0:10:400:10:41

-cos it's 30 Days Of Night...

-Right.

-..I'm afraid.

0:10:410:10:44

Very close. 10 points for that.

0:10:440:10:46

They were all difficult, all the one's that remained.

0:10:460:10:49

It is 30 Minutes Or Less.

0:10:490:10:51

Can I just say, on behalf of Twitter,

0:10:510:10:53

it's 30 minutes or fewer! LAUGHTER

0:10:530:10:56

Just, yeah...

0:10:570:10:59

That would've scored 5 points.

0:10:590:11:01

127 Hours.

0:11:010:11:03

That would've scored 11 points.

0:11:040:11:06

And How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

0:11:060:11:09

And that would've scored you 32.

0:11:090:11:11

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:11:110:11:12

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:11:120:11:15

Well, what about that, Gareth?

0:11:150:11:17

40 - best score of the pass.

0:11:170:11:19

It's looking good for the Thomas family once again.

0:11:190:11:22

Then we travel up to 55, where we find Judith and Ann.

0:11:220:11:24

84, Nancy and Alf,

0:11:240:11:27

and then up to 100 where we find Illy and Chris.

0:11:270:11:29

So, Chris, I mean, you're not that far in front, actually.

0:11:290:11:32

Nancy's helped you out a bit there.

0:11:320:11:34

A really good low score from you, Chris, might keep you in the game.

0:11:340:11:37

Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.

0:11:370:11:39

Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:11:390:11:41

OK. Let's put seven more film titles up on the board

0:11:430:11:46

with their missing numbers, and here they are.

0:11:460:11:48

I'll read those all one last time.

0:12:010:12:02

Chris, a warm welcome.

0:12:100:12:12

Also from Blackpool,

0:12:120:12:13

and you're also train crew - is that right?

0:12:130:12:15

-Yes, I'm a driver, yeah.

-See, that's fun.

0:12:150:12:17

Sorry, not that what you do isn't fun, Illy.

0:12:170:12:19

I mean, the conducting is fun too -

0:12:190:12:21

you get to meet lots of people -

0:12:210:12:23

but driving, I mean, that's a dream come true, isn't it?

0:12:230:12:26

It's great, to be fair, yeah. It's a good place to be.

0:12:260:12:28

Now, Chris, what are your interests outside of the cab?

0:12:280:12:31

I enjoy sport, I play sport,

0:12:310:12:33

I enjoy watching sport, I play cricket.

0:12:330:12:35

I've been in a band as well.

0:12:350:12:36

Recently left the band because of train driving,

0:12:360:12:39

-so that was quite a depart.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

0:12:390:12:41

Being a train driver, quite handy for the band

0:12:410:12:43

if you had to go somewhere fast.

0:12:430:12:44

Yeah, we should've just done a train set, shouldn't we, really?

0:12:440:12:47

Long train running...

0:12:470:12:48

What, so, literally, your train commitments...couldn't...?

0:12:480:12:51

Did the band call you in and say, "Listen, Chris, this is..."

0:12:510:12:55

Well, it was me, to be fair.

0:12:550:12:56

My wife's in the band and my brother,

0:12:560:12:58

and we were... It was affecting their work,

0:12:580:13:01

so it was kind of make your decision,

0:13:010:13:02

and they kicked me out, so there you go.

0:13:020:13:05

-LAUGHTER

-That's nice, isn't it?

0:13:050:13:07

What about that? Don't like that at all.

0:13:070:13:08

-What was the band called?

-The Versions.

0:13:080:13:10

-The Versions.

-Yes.

-The Versions.

0:13:100:13:12

See, that's a good name, that is a good name.

0:13:120:13:14

If you receive see The Versions, don't go and see them...

0:13:140:13:16

-until they reinstate Chris.

-Yeah.

0:13:160:13:19

I'm sorry, Chris. I can only apologise.

0:13:190:13:20

Anyway, you're the high scorers - we need a low score from you here,

0:13:200:13:23

so take in that board and find a nice low score.

0:13:230:13:26

-Yeah...

-It's not that easy, is it?

0:13:260:13:29

I know, because, the last board, there was some,

0:13:290:13:31

I thought there was some weird scores.

0:13:310:13:33

I do know a few,

0:13:330:13:34

but I'm going to go for 10 Things I Hate About You.

0:13:340:13:36

10 Things I Hate About You, says Chris. Let's see if it's right.

0:13:360:13:39

No red line for you as you're the high scorers.

0:13:390:13:41

It is 10.

0:13:440:13:45

63, that scores you.

0:13:470:13:49

APPLAUSE 163 is your total.

0:13:490:13:53

Yeah, it's a modern take on Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew.

0:13:530:13:57

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:13:570:13:58

-Now, Alfred, a warm welcome.

-Hi there.

0:13:580:14:01

Or should I say Captain Welly?

0:14:010:14:03

Did you get to choose the names or they were foisted upon new?

0:14:030:14:06

They were foisted upon us, yeah.

0:14:060:14:08

What do you do, Alfred?

0:14:080:14:10

-I'm a university student money adviser.

-Right.

0:14:100:14:13

So, literally, the student body can come to you,

0:14:130:14:15

any student can come and say...

0:14:150:14:17

Yeah, the main things we do

0:14:170:14:19

is we make sure that they're getting everything they're entitled to

0:14:190:14:22

and then help them with budgeting

0:14:220:14:24

so that when they get their grants and what have you...

0:14:240:14:28

They don't lose it all in the first week.

0:14:280:14:30

-Hopefully, hopefully, yes.

-Yeah.

0:14:300:14:31

And what are your interests outside of that, Alfred?

0:14:310:14:34

I play badminton for a local club,

0:14:340:14:38

I do yoga,

0:14:380:14:39

and I'm keen...

0:14:390:14:41

Like, I go to lots of live music gigs

0:14:420:14:45

and that sort of thing.

0:14:450:14:47

I'm quite into folk music,

0:14:470:14:49

and living in Cambridge, I go to the Cambridge Folk Festival.

0:14:490:14:51

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Going up later this year.

-Very good.

0:14:510:14:54

So, Alfred, there you are on 84.

0:14:540:14:57

High scorers at the moment are Chris and Illy on 163.

0:14:570:15:00

You have to score 78 or less.

0:15:000:15:02

Right. Erm, yeah, there's a couple there I think I know.

0:15:020:15:06

I'm not 100% sure.

0:15:060:15:07

I'll go for 28 Days Later.

0:15:070:15:10

28 Days Later. There's 28.

0:15:100:15:12

There's your red line.

0:15:120:15:14

If you can get below that with 28, you are through to the next round.

0:15:140:15:17

It's right, and you are through.

0:15:200:15:21

Very well done.

0:15:210:15:22

40.

0:15:240:15:25

APPLAUSE It takes your total up to 124.

0:15:250:15:28

Well played. I think that might've been the one Illy was thinking of.

0:15:290:15:32

Yeah, 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic horror film.

0:15:320:15:36

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:15:360:15:37

Now, Grace.... Grace, welcome back.

0:15:370:15:40

Remind us what you do, Grace.

0:15:400:15:41

-I'm a youth and children's worker at the moment.

-Very good indeed.

0:15:410:15:44

And, also, I mean, a full-time vicar's wife as well.

0:15:440:15:48

-Yes.

-I mean, that's quite a... That's...

0:15:480:15:50

Presumably, you know, living...

0:15:500:15:51

-Do you live in the vicarage next to the church?

-Yes, we do.

0:15:510:15:54

So, I mean, you have to be there to welcome all comers, don't you?

0:15:540:15:58

-Well, yes, sometimes, yeah.

-That's quite a full-time job.

0:15:580:16:00

And if you have time for other activities,

0:16:000:16:03

-what sort of other activities do you like to do?

-I like...

0:16:030:16:06

-I've suddenly discovered a liking for gardening.

-Mm.

0:16:060:16:10

Is the vicarage garden a decent size?

0:16:100:16:12

-Yes, we have got a very big garden.

-Very nice.

0:16:120:16:15

But, yeah, so, I only ever really like gardening if it's sunny,

0:16:150:16:17

so it's a bit limiting.

0:16:170:16:19

-You want to get a coat, Grace, really.

-Yes.

0:16:190:16:22

Yeah. No, so what sort of... Do you have vegetables, or do you...?

0:16:220:16:25

We're starting to grow some vegetables now.

0:16:250:16:27

Very good. Very exciting.

0:16:270:16:28

Now, you're through - this is good news.

0:16:280:16:30

It doesn't matter what you score,

0:16:300:16:32

but let's have a good answer from you, Grace.

0:16:320:16:34

I know a few on there.

0:16:340:16:35

I think I'm going to go for This Is 40.

0:16:350:16:38

This Is 40, says Grace.

0:16:380:16:40

No red line cos you're already through.

0:16:400:16:42

Let's see how many people said This Is 40.

0:16:420:16:44

It's right.

0:16:470:16:48

Now, look at that. Down it goes.

0:16:500:16:52

Look at that. 10.

0:16:520:16:54

APPLAUSE Very well done indeed, Grace.

0:16:540:16:56

Best score of the round by some margin.

0:16:560:16:59

That takes your total up to 50.

0:16:590:17:01

Very well played, Grace. Another great answer.

0:17:010:17:03

We pointed out last time

0:17:030:17:04

the only person not to be born into the Thomas family

0:17:040:17:06

has been very much the lowest scorer

0:17:060:17:08

of the six representatives of the family we've had.

0:17:080:17:10

Yeah, notably.

0:17:100:17:12

Thank you very much.

0:17:120:17:13

-Now then, Ann, welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:17:130:17:16

What do you do, Ann?

0:17:160:17:18

Well, I'm retired now,

0:17:180:17:20

and so I enjoy playing a lot of golf.

0:17:200:17:24

Perfect. And you live up in Sheffield?

0:17:240:17:26

I live in Sheffield, yes.

0:17:260:17:27

And how long have you been playing golf? What's your handicap?

0:17:270:17:30

-Should I say?

-No, you don't have to answer that.

0:17:300:17:33

-But it's more for the social...

-It's teams, it's in the teams.

0:17:330:17:35

I see. Well, this is marvellous.

0:17:350:17:37

-But a really good gang of friends who you play with.

-Yes.

0:17:370:17:40

Are you quite competitive as a golfer?

0:17:400:17:42

-Um... Yes.

-Yes, says Judith to that. Yeah.

0:17:420:17:46

So, is it really most days you'll be in the golf club?

0:17:460:17:48

Well, last week, it was every day,

0:17:480:17:51

and I do put the pacer now on, you know, my app on the phone.

0:17:510:17:55

So you can see how far you've...?

0:17:550:17:57

Yeah, so I roughly average between 6,0000 and 10,000 paces a day.

0:17:570:18:01

See, 10,000 paces a day is extremely good -

0:18:010:18:04

that's what we're all meant to aim for.

0:18:040:18:06

Maybe I need a treadmill here. That would sort out my...

0:18:060:18:08

That's is a really good idea.

0:18:080:18:10

-I could power all these podiums with my tread.

-Lovely idea.

0:18:100:18:13

-I've got a little bike under here.

-I see that.

0:18:130:18:15

-Yeah.

-Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:18:150:18:17

-Powers your laptop, doesn't it?

-It does, yeah.

0:18:170:18:19

-Makes you grow, Richard.

-Yeah.

-Exactly that.

0:18:190:18:21

Ann, again, you're already through, so it doesn't matter what you score,

0:18:210:18:24

but, for fun, do you want to talk us through this board?

0:18:240:18:27

Er, wish I could.

0:18:270:18:29

They're all guesses.

0:18:290:18:30

So I'm just going to guess, actually,

0:18:300:18:32

at I Am Number One.

0:18:320:18:34

-I Am Number One.

-It's a guess.

-I Am Number One, says Ann.

0:18:340:18:37

Well, no red line - you're already through.

0:18:370:18:38

Let's see how many people said one.

0:18:380:18:41

Bad luck.

0:18:440:18:45

An incorrect answer there scores you 100 points,

0:18:450:18:47

takes your total up to 155, but you're through.

0:18:470:18:49

Yeah, it's I Am Number Four, unfortunately. I Am Number Four.

0:18:490:18:52

Would've scored 14 points.

0:18:520:18:55

-The top one, which is probably the easiest one to guess.

-10.

0:18:550:18:57

Starter For 10, a film about University Challenge.

0:18:570:19:00

55 points for that.

0:19:000:19:02

-8 Mile.

-8 Mile.

0:19:020:19:03

Eminem's film. Would've scored you 54.

0:19:040:19:06

-And from 1984....

-Sixteen Candles.

-Sixteen Candles.

0:19:060:19:10

18 points for that.

0:19:100:19:11

Best answer on the board, then, was This Is 40, Grace - well played.

0:19:110:19:15

Thanks very much.

0:19:150:19:16

So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home,

0:19:160:19:19

I'm sorry to say, it's Chris and Illy.

0:19:190:19:20

Not that far ahead of everyone else, but we will see you again next time.

0:19:200:19:23

Look forward to that,

0:19:230:19:25

but in the meantime, thanks very much, Chris and Illy.

0:19:250:19:27

-Cheers, thank you. Good luck.

-APPLAUSE

0:19:270:19:29

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:290:19:32

Well done, our three remaining pairs.

0:19:370:19:39

You'll have noticed that one of the four pairs we had

0:19:390:19:41

has just disappeared -

0:19:410:19:43

that, I'm afraid, will happen again at the end of this round.

0:19:430:19:45

The highest-scoring pair will be leaving us.

0:19:450:19:48

Well, Grace and Gareth, superb.

0:19:480:19:50

Our lowest joint score,

0:19:500:19:52

our lowest individual score, Grace - very well done to you.

0:19:520:19:54

Nancy and Alfred, well done -

0:19:540:19:56

you finally found a use for number 28, which was great,

0:19:560:19:58

and Ann and Judith,

0:19:580:20:00

you just made it through there thanks to our other high scorers.

0:20:000:20:04

But, anyway, welcome to Round Two, everyone.

0:20:040:20:06

Our category this afternoon for Round Two is Words.

0:20:060:20:10

It's a Words round. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:20:100:20:12

who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:20:120:20:15

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:150:20:17

OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes.

0:20:200:20:23

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:20:230:20:25

Words ending in T-A-R-Y, Richard.

0:20:290:20:32

Yeah, any word with its own entry

0:20:320:20:33

in oxforddictionaries.com English section, please, which ends T-A-R-Y.

0:20:330:20:38

As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,

0:20:380:20:41

and very, very best of luck.

0:20:410:20:43

Thank you very much indeed.

0:20:430:20:45

So...Ann...

0:20:450:20:48

OK. Supplementary.

0:20:480:20:51

Supplementary, says Ann.

0:20:510:20:53

Supplementary. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:20:530:20:56

That's a great answer, Ann.

0:21:050:21:07

APPLAUSE Very well done indeed.

0:21:070:21:09

3 for supplementary.

0:21:090:21:11

Great start, Ann. Very well played. Yeah, supplementary.

0:21:130:21:16

-Extra.

-Extra.

0:21:160:21:17

Extra supple....which is what you need to be.

0:21:170:21:20

It is, isn't it?

0:21:200:21:22

-Gareth. Gareth.

-Yeah.

-Now then.

0:21:220:21:25

No, no, no - I don't like that look, Gareth, at all.

0:21:250:21:27

-It's not good...

-No, no, no.

-Not my strong suit.

0:21:270:21:31

-Terrible speller.

-GARETH CHUCKLES

0:21:310:21:33

Erm...going to go with military.

0:21:330:21:36

Military, says Gareth. Military.

0:21:360:21:38

Let's see how many of our 100 said that.

0:21:380:21:41

It's right.

0:21:430:21:44

20. APPLAUSE

0:21:490:21:51

20 for military.

0:21:520:21:54

Well played. Yeah, military,

0:21:540:21:56

er...the art of selling millets.

0:21:560:21:58

AUDIENCE CHUCKLES

0:21:580:22:00

Thank you very much indeed.

0:22:000:22:02

-Nancy.

-Hello.

0:22:020:22:04

Nancy, what would you like to go for?

0:22:040:22:06

Erm...

0:22:060:22:08

If I'm spelling it right, I'm going to go for complimentary.

0:22:090:22:12

Complimentary, says Nancy.

0:22:120:22:14

Let's see how many of our 100 people said complimentary.

0:22:140:22:16

Look at that. Not bad at all. 11.

0:22:240:22:26

APPLAUSE

0:22:260:22:28

11.

0:22:300:22:31

-Yeah, paying a compliment.

-Hm.

0:22:310:22:34

That's nice, isn't it?

0:22:340:22:36

That is nice, that is nice. Thank you very much.

0:22:360:22:38

We're halfway through the round - let's look at those scores.

0:22:380:22:41

3, the best score of that pass.

0:22:410:22:42

Very well done indeed, Ann.

0:22:420:22:44

Then up to 11, where we find Nancy and Alfred,

0:22:440:22:46

then up to 20, Gareth and Grace.

0:22:460:22:49

Grace, you don't need me to tell you what we need from you,

0:22:490:22:51

but, yes, I have every faith you will find a lovely low score.

0:22:510:22:54

We're going to come back down the line.

0:22:540:22:56

Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:22:560:22:58

Now than...Alfred... Alfred.

0:23:010:23:05

OK. Erm, notary.

0:23:050:23:07

Notary, says Alfred. Very good indeed.

0:23:080:23:11

Here's your red line - if you can get below that with notary,

0:23:110:23:13

you are definitely into the head-to-head.

0:23:130:23:15

How many of our 100 said notary?

0:23:150:23:17

Ooh, 12! APPLAUSE

0:23:260:23:28

Not bad.

0:23:280:23:29

It takes your total up to 23.

0:23:300:23:32

Yeah, a person authorised to carry out certain legal formalities -

0:23:320:23:36

a notary.

0:23:360:23:37

Thanks very much indeed.

0:23:370:23:39

Now then, Grace,

0:23:390:23:41

-we need a score of two or less from you, Grace.

-OK.

0:23:410:23:44

I've got one that's fairly obvious

0:23:440:23:46

and I've got one that's a bit risky,

0:23:460:23:48

so I think I'm going to go for the one that's a bit risky,

0:23:480:23:51

erm, and I think rotary.

0:23:510:23:53

Rotary. Rotary, says Grace.

0:23:530:23:57

There's your red line - very low. Can you get below that with rotary?

0:23:570:24:00

HE INHALES DEEPLY Let's see.

0:24:000:24:02

It's right.

0:24:040:24:06

17.

0:24:110:24:12

APPLAUSE

0:24:120:24:15

37 is your total.

0:24:150:24:17

Revolving around a centre or axis.

0:24:170:24:19

-And a bit like a rotor.

-A bit.

0:24:190:24:22

-Rotary. It's very rotary.

-Thank you very much.

0:24:220:24:24

-And Rotary Club, of course.

-Indeed.

0:24:240:24:26

Lots of places up and down the country have those.

0:24:260:24:28

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:24:280:24:30

Now, Judith. Judith, this is very exciting.

0:24:300:24:33

-We have to have a score of 33 or less from you.

-OK.

0:24:330:24:35

Yeah, I have a few in my head.

0:24:370:24:39

I don't think I'll go for anything too risky,

0:24:390:24:42

so I will go for rudimentary.

0:24:420:24:47

Rudimentary, says Judith.

0:24:470:24:49

Here's your red line -

0:24:490:24:50

get below that with rudimentary, you are in the head-to-head.

0:24:500:24:53

Let's see how many of our 100 people said rudimentary.

0:24:530:24:56

You've done it.

0:25:020:25:03

It's a good answer. Look at that. 3.

0:25:050:25:07

You equal Ann with supplementary. APPLAUSE

0:25:070:25:09

6 is your total.

0:25:090:25:10

Very, very well done indeed.

0:25:100:25:12

Terrific stuff on that first podium.

0:25:120:25:14

I'll take you through some of the low scorers here -

0:25:140:25:16

3 is the best score we've had in the round.

0:25:160:25:18

Let's take a look at anything that scored less than 3.

0:25:180:25:20

You'd have got 2 points for unsanitary, parliamentary,

0:25:200:25:24

fragmentary, proprietary.

0:25:240:25:26

You'd have got 1 point for tributary, uncomplimentary,

0:25:260:25:29

insanitary, paramilitary and interplanetary -

0:25:290:25:32

all of those, very good answers,

0:25:320:25:34

Let's take a look at the pointless answers.

0:25:340:25:35

-You could have unparliamentary, couldn't you?

-You could...

0:25:350:25:38

-You're about to see it.

-That would be lovely.

0:25:380:25:40

Mockumentary is a pointless answer - that's in the dictionary.

0:25:400:25:43

So is shockumentary and rockumentary,

0:25:430:25:45

and they're both pointless as well.

0:25:450:25:47

Nonhereditary is all one word.

0:25:470:25:50

Protonotary - so it's a type of notary.

0:25:500:25:53

Alf, if only you'd known a protonotary.

0:25:530:25:55

Salutary is a pointless answer - well done if you said that.

0:25:560:25:59

Testamentary, er, un...undersecretary.

0:25:590:26:02

I wondered what that meant.

0:26:020:26:03

-"Under-secretary?"

-ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:26:030:26:05

Undersecretary was a pointless answer - well done if you said that.

0:26:050:26:08

Unmilitary - that's a pointless answer.

0:26:080:26:10

Unparliamentary and vestimentary.

0:26:100:26:13

Let's take a look at the top three answers,

0:26:130:26:15

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:26:150:26:17

Military, actually, the third highest scorer of all.

0:26:170:26:20

Momentary, 32...

0:26:210:26:24

and elementary also 32, up at the top there.

0:26:240:26:27

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:26:270:26:28

So, at the end of our second round,

0:26:280:26:30

oh, I can't bear delivering this news.

0:26:300:26:32

I'm so sorry, Grace and Gareth - I'm afraid the Thomas line ends here.

0:26:320:26:38

Do you think the rest of the Thomases will be secretly pleased?

0:26:380:26:41

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:26:410:26:42

Well...I think order's been restored, hasn't it? I think.

0:26:420:26:45

I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye.

0:26:450:26:47

It's been wonderful having you. Absolutely fantastic play,

0:26:470:26:50

and I have to make special mention of Grace's superb efforts.

0:26:500:26:53

Grace and Gareth, been lovely having you on the show.

0:26:530:26:55

Thanks so much for playing. APPLAUSE

0:26:550:26:57

But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:000:27:03

Very well done, Nancy and Alfred, Ann and Judith.

0:27:070:27:10

You're now one step closer to the final

0:27:100:27:11

and a chance to play for that jackpot,

0:27:110:27:14

which currently stands at £1,000.

0:27:140:27:16

Well, you know the score at this point -

0:27:160:27:18

you can start playing as teams.

0:27:180:27:19

We're going to make you go head-to-head -

0:27:190:27:21

first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.

0:27:210:27:24

Well, Ann and Judith, Round One last time -

0:27:240:27:26

oh, here we are in the hallowed portals

0:27:260:27:28

of the head-to-head this time.

0:27:280:27:30

And Nancy and Alfred,

0:27:300:27:31

straight through as our lowest scorers on your first appearance.

0:27:310:27:34

We've had great answers from each of you.

0:27:340:27:36

This will be very, very hard to separate, I think,

0:27:360:27:39

but let's see what happens - it's going to be exciting.

0:27:390:27:41

Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:410:27:43

OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

0:27:480:27:51

-Orchestral instruments, Richard.

-We're going to show five pictures

0:27:530:27:56

of instruments found in a modern orchestra -

0:27:560:27:58

you just have to tell us what they are.

0:27:580:28:00

We've given you their initials as well.

0:28:000:28:01

OK, let's reveal our five images, and here they come.

0:28:010:28:04

We have got...

0:28:040:28:05

There we are. Five instruments.

0:28:270:28:29

Nancy and Alfred, you've played best throughout the show so far,

0:28:290:28:31

see you go will go first.

0:28:310:28:34

-WHISPER:

-'I think E is tubular bells.

0:28:340:28:37

-'Shall we go for it?

-Yeah, let's go for it.'

0:28:370:28:39

OK, we're going to go for E,

0:28:390:28:41

which we think is tubular bells.

0:28:410:28:43

Tubular bells, say Nancy and Alfred.

0:28:430:28:46

Now then, Ann and Judith,

0:28:460:28:47

talk us through the rest of the board.

0:28:470:28:49

We know B is cello, trumpet,

0:28:490:28:53

and we're not sure on D.

0:28:530:28:55

-Do we know?

-I think, I think...

0:28:550:28:57

I don't know if C is trumpet -

0:28:570:28:58

I think C might be tuba.

0:28:580:29:01

Let's go B, cello.

0:29:010:29:03

-OK, so our answer is B, cello.

-B, cello.

0:29:030:29:05

So we have tubular bells, and we have cello.

0:29:050:29:08

Nancy and Alfred said tubular bells.

0:29:080:29:09

Let's see if that's right for E, let's see how many people said it.

0:29:090:29:13

It's right.

0:29:150:29:17

64. Quite high.

0:29:180:29:20

Tubular bells. APPLAUSE

0:29:200:29:22

Ann and Judith have gone for cello.

0:29:230:29:26

let's see if that's right for B, let's see how many people said that.

0:29:260:29:29

It's right.

0:29:320:29:33

And... Ooh, look at that - 78. That is high.

0:29:330:29:35

APPLAUSE

0:29:350:29:37

Two very high scores, but Nancy and Alfred, yours was less high,

0:29:370:29:41

which means after one question, you are up 1-nil.

0:29:410:29:43

Those are the two highest scorers on the board, actually.

0:29:430:29:46

I suspect you'll be able to walk us through this one.

0:29:460:29:48

I can talk you through those.

0:29:480:29:49

-A, the timpani.

-Timpani.

0:29:490:29:51

That would've scored you 33 points.

0:29:510:29:54

-C is...

-Tuba.

-..tuba.

0:29:540:29:56

-It's very shiny, beautifully...

-Thank you very much. 42 points.

0:29:560:29:59

I... I shined it myself.

0:29:590:30:01

Yeah, absolutely beautiful.

0:30:010:30:03

-And D...

-D is a cor anglais.

-..is a cor anglais.

0:30:030:30:06

And that would've scored you 15 points.

0:30:060:30:08

Always makes me laugh that name, cor anglais.

0:30:080:30:10

-It's quite funny...

-An English horn.

0:30:100:30:12

It's an English horn, which is even funnier.

0:30:120:30:14

LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:30:140:30:16

Here comes your second question.

0:30:160:30:18

Ann and Judith, you have to win this to stay in the game,

0:30:180:30:20

but you get to answer it first, so it's all good.

0:30:200:30:22

Best of luck. It concerns...

0:30:220:30:24

Things found at a swimming pool, Richard.

0:30:270:30:30

We're going to show you five anagrams now

0:30:300:30:32

of things you might find at a swimming pool -

0:30:320:30:34

can you unscramble them, please?

0:30:340:30:36

OK, Let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.

0:30:360:30:39

We've got...

0:30:390:30:40

There we go.

0:30:540:30:55

So, Ann and Judith,

0:30:550:30:57

feel free to chat that through amongst yourselves.

0:30:570:31:00

Goggles is two.

0:31:000:31:01

I think that'll be easy.

0:31:010:31:03

You do? I don't know the others.

0:31:030:31:04

Swimming trunks.

0:31:040:31:06

-Shall I go for that?

-Yeah.

0:31:060:31:08

We're going to go for swimming trunks,

0:31:090:31:13

muting Mrs Winks.

0:31:130:31:14

OK, you're going say swimming trunks.

0:31:140:31:16

Nancy and Alfred, talk us through the board.

0:31:160:31:20

Now, we're not very good at anagrams, I don't think.

0:31:200:31:23

We've got one.

0:31:230:31:24

Erm... Shall we go for that one?

0:31:240:31:27

-What do you think?

-Hm...

0:31:270:31:28

Yeah, we're going to have to go for that one, I think.

0:31:280:31:31

OK, we are going to go for goggles,

0:31:310:31:33

egg logs, goggles.

0:31:330:31:34

Egg logs, goggles.

0:31:340:31:35

So, we have swimming trunks, and we have goggles.

0:31:350:31:38

Ann and Judith said swimming trunks - is it right, how many people said it?

0:31:380:31:41

It is right.

0:31:430:31:44

There we are. 24.

0:31:490:31:50

APPLAUSE

0:31:500:31:53

Good score.

0:31:540:31:55

Nancy and Alfred meanwhile have gone for goggles for egg logs.

0:31:550:31:58

Let's see if that's right.

0:31:580:31:59

if it is, let's see how many people said goggles.

0:31:590:32:02

52. APPLAUSE

0:32:080:32:10

Well done, Ann and Judith. Exactly what you needed to do.

0:32:100:32:13

You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-all.

0:32:130:32:16

It's difficult, isn't it, cos none of them are quite long enough for

0:32:160:32:18

small child surreptitiously having a wee in the shallow end.

0:32:180:32:21

-LAUGHTER

-Now, the top one...

0:32:210:32:24

..is diving board.

0:32:250:32:26

That would've scored you 31. The bottom one...

0:32:280:32:30

..is lifeguard.

0:32:310:32:33

That would've scored 17.

0:32:340:32:35

-And the best answer, leader wits.

-That is water slide.

0:32:350:32:38

Water slide, yeah. And that would've scored you 3 points.

0:32:380:32:41

Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.

0:32:410:32:44

Whoever wins this goes through

0:32:440:32:45

to the final and has a crack at that jackpot,

0:32:450:32:47

so best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:32:470:32:49

Thailand, Richard.

0:32:520:32:53

Going to show you five clues to facts about the country of Thailand.

0:32:530:32:56

The team that gives us the most obscure answer

0:32:560:32:58

is going through to play for the jackpot.

0:32:580:33:00

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.

0:33:000:33:03

We've got...

0:33:030:33:05

I'll read those all one last time.

0:33:190:33:21

Nancy and Alfred, it's back with you.

0:33:350:33:37

OK. Erm, we're not sure about too many of them,

0:33:370:33:41

but I think we're going to go for the bottom one,

0:33:410:33:44

and that's the author of The Beach, is Alex Garland.

0:33:440:33:48

Alex Garland, say Nancy and Alfred. Alex Garland.

0:33:480:33:51

Now, Ann and Judith, over to you.

0:33:510:33:54

We know The Bridge On The River Kwai...

0:33:540:33:57

-..but we're going to go... I don't know the other two.

-No.

0:33:580:34:01

So we're going to go with the unit of currency,

0:34:010:34:03

which is the baht.

0:34:030:34:05

The baht. The baht.

0:34:050:34:07

So, we have Alex Garland, we have the baht.

0:34:070:34:09

Nancy and Alfred have gone for

0:34:090:34:11

Alex Garland, the author of The Beach -

0:34:110:34:13

let's see if that's right.

0:34:130:34:14

It is right.

0:34:160:34:17

Ooh, look at that - it's a great answer.

0:34:220:34:24

And it's gone. It scores 6.

0:34:240:34:25

APPLAUSE

0:34:250:34:27

Very well done indeed.

0:34:290:34:30

Ann and Judith meanwhile have gone for the baht, the unit of currency.

0:34:300:34:33

Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.

0:34:330:34:35

It's right.

0:34:370:34:38

Ooh, 45. A high score there. APPLAUSE

0:34:420:34:45

Which means, very well done, Nancy and Alfred.

0:34:450:34:47

You're through to the final 2-1.

0:34:470:34:50

Alex Garland was the best answer on the board -

0:34:500:34:52

nothing you could've done about that, I'm afraid.

0:34:520:34:54

The river is the River Kwai, of course.

0:34:540:34:56

Would've scored you 76.

0:34:570:34:59

The three colours are red, blue and white.

0:34:590:35:02

That would've scored 11.

0:35:030:35:04

What do you think the national animal of Thailand is?

0:35:040:35:07

-I don't know, is it a chaffinch? I don't know.

-It's not.

0:35:070:35:10

-It's a badger.

-Aw...

-It's not really a badger.

0:35:100:35:13

-It's an elephant.

-An elephant!

-There you go.

0:35:130:35:15

-Of course it's an elephant.

-That would've scored 13 points.

0:35:150:35:17

There we are. Thank you very much.

0:35:170:35:19

OK, so the pair leaving us

0:35:190:35:20

at the end of the head-to-head round, Ann and Judith.

0:35:200:35:23

Well, a much improved performance this time

0:35:230:35:25

and some great answering from you throughout the show.

0:35:250:35:28

I'm afraid it's the end of the road for you.

0:35:280:35:30

We have to say goodbye. It's been wonderful having you.

0:35:300:35:33

Thank you for playing.

0:35:330:35:34

Ann and Judith. APPLAUSE

0:35:340:35:36

But, for Nancy and Alfred, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:370:35:40

Very well done indeed, Nancy and Alfred.

0:35:440:35:46

You've seen off all the competition

0:35:460:35:48

-and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

-Whey!

0:35:480:35:50

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:560:35:58

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot remains at £1,000.

0:35:580:36:02

Well, what a strong performance.

0:36:020:36:04

Very good indeed.

0:36:040:36:06

First time on Pointless, through to the final,

0:36:060:36:08

no arguing with that.

0:36:080:36:10

And Alex Garland came just at the right moment there, didn't it?

0:36:100:36:13

Anything in particular you want to see come up on this last round?

0:36:130:36:16

Well, we both really love music,

0:36:160:36:18

so maybe something from... I don't know,

0:36:180:36:20

Stranglers albums, maybe, would be good.

0:36:200:36:23

-That'd be good.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:36:230:36:24

As always, you get to choose your category from the four we put up.

0:36:240:36:27

Let's see what we've got today.

0:36:270:36:28

We have...

0:36:290:36:30

Oh, gosh. I would say either TV spin-offs

0:36:360:36:39

or chart music, contemporary chart music.

0:36:390:36:41

-Hm...

-What do you think?

0:36:410:36:44

Hm... Yeah, I'm not sure. Hm...

0:36:440:36:47

I think the TV spin-offs. I think we'll have to go for that.

0:36:480:36:50

-I think we'll have to go for TV spin-offs.

-TV spin-offs, it is.

0:36:500:36:53

-Richard.

-OK, very best of luck.

0:36:530:36:55

We're looking for the name of any actor according to IMDB

0:36:550:36:57

who's received five or more acting credits

0:36:570:37:00

in any of the following series, please.

0:37:000:37:02

So, five or more credits in the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood,

0:37:020:37:05

five or more appearances in

0:37:050:37:07

the follow-up to Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes,

0:37:070:37:10

or five or more appearances in

0:37:100:37:11

the Only Fools and Horses spin-off, The Green Green Grass.

0:37:110:37:14

So, five or more performances, any actor,

0:37:140:37:16

in Torchwood, Ashes to Ashes or The Green Green Grass.

0:37:160:37:20

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:37:200:37:21

As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:210:37:24

All you need to win that jackpot of £1,000

0:37:240:37:26

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:260:37:28

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:37:280:37:31

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:310:37:32

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:320:37:34

OK, Torchwood, I don't really know it,

0:37:340:37:36

-but I know that's somebody called John...

-John Barrymore.

0:37:360:37:39

-But I think he'll be a really big scorer.

-He'll be popular.

0:37:390:37:41

Ashes To Ashes, I know the woman in it, but again...

0:37:410:37:45

-She's really beautiful, she used to be model.

-Mm-hm.

0:37:450:37:47

-I can't think of her name.

-My mind's gone blank.

0:37:470:37:49

But The Green Green Grass is a follow-up

0:37:490:37:51

to Only Fools And Horses, I'm pretty sure,

0:37:510:37:53

and I'm thinking the actor that played Trigger.

0:37:530:37:56

Do you remember what he was called? Cos he's got a daughter who's...

0:37:560:37:59

Davies. Was it something Davies?

0:37:590:38:01

-Hm... Erm...

-And who else was in...?

0:38:010:38:04

Think of who was in Only Fools And Horses -

0:38:040:38:06

maybe it might help.

0:38:060:38:07

-OK, there was Nicholas Lyndhurst.

-Nicholas Lyndhurst. Worth a try.

0:38:070:38:10

I can't remember him being in it.

0:38:100:38:12

Erm... Oh, did you ever watch,

0:38:120:38:15

did you watch the one before Ashes To Ashes, Life On Mars?

0:38:150:38:18

-John Simms.

-Yeah.

-He was in Life On Mars -

0:38:180:38:21

maybe he came into Ashes To Ashes - who knows.

0:38:210:38:23

-Shall we go for John Simms?

-Ten seconds left.

0:38:230:38:26

-Maybe go for John Barrymore...

-Yeah. OK, John Barry...

0:38:260:38:30

Barrowman, isn't it?

0:38:300:38:32

-No, Barrymore.

-Barrowman, yeah.

-John Barrowman.

0:38:320:38:34

-OK, that's your time up, I'm afraid.

-OK.

0:38:340:38:37

-Yes, that was quite a tough category, that one, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:38:370:38:40

Let's have your three, your three answers.

0:38:400:38:43

-OK, we're going for John Barrowman.

-John Barrowman.

-Yeah.

0:38:430:38:46

-OK. From...?

-From Torchwood, sorry.

-Torchwood, John Barrowman.

0:38:460:38:49

Ashes To Ashes... Was it John Simms?

0:38:490:38:52

Yeah, we're going to go for John Simms.

0:38:520:38:54

-I think he was in the one before.

-John Simms, OK.

0:38:540:38:56

-And The Green Green Grass Of Home...

-Nicholas Lyndhurst?

0:38:560:38:59

-Yeah, Nicholas Lyndhurst.

-Nicholas Lyndhurst. OK.

0:38:590:39:02

Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:020:39:05

-THEY CHUCKLE

-None of them.

-None of them.

0:39:050:39:07

-Maybe...

-John Simms.

-..John Simms.

-John Simms.

0:39:070:39:10

Least likely to be Pointless?

0:39:100:39:12

John Barrowman.

0:39:120:39:14

Let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,

0:39:140:39:16

and here they are.

0:39:160:39:18

We've got John Barrowman, we've got Nicholas Lyndhurst,

0:39:180:39:21

and we've got John Simms.

0:39:210:39:23

-Well, very best of luck.

-Thank you.

0:39:230:39:25

That was a tough category there for you, I fear,

0:39:250:39:28

but you never know, you never know.

0:39:280:39:30

Peoples have sometimes landed on

0:39:300:39:32

correct - and even pointless - answers by accident.

0:39:320:39:35

Let's say that were to happen now,

0:39:350:39:37

what would you do with your share of the winnings, Nancy?

0:39:370:39:40

I think I'd probably spend it on my daughter.

0:39:400:39:43

We've just moved, and she's got her own room now,

0:39:430:39:46

so I'd like to buy some things for her room -

0:39:460:39:48

maybe some of those big floor cushions.

0:39:480:39:50

-She's a bit of an acrobat, so maybe some stuff for her.

-Perfect.

0:39:500:39:53

Alfred, how about you?

0:39:530:39:55

I'd like to put it towards a trip to Nashville in Tennessee.

0:39:550:39:59

Excellent. Very good indeed. Well, fingers crossed.

0:39:590:40:01

One of these answers might win that jackpot for you. Let's see.

0:40:010:40:04

Is it going to be your first answer, John Barrowman?

0:40:040:40:07

In this case, we were looking for members of the cast of Torchwood.

0:40:070:40:10

Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Barrowman.

0:40:100:40:13

If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.

0:40:130:40:15

Well, it's right.

0:40:180:40:20

Probably not that surprising.

0:40:200:40:22

But let's see how far down the column

0:40:220:40:24

we get with John...

0:40:240:40:25

47. There we are.

0:40:250:40:26

-At least we were right, yeah.

-APPLAUSE

0:40:260:40:29

There we are. Not a pointless answer,

0:40:310:40:33

which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:330:40:35

Next answer was Nicholas Lyndhurst.

0:40:350:40:37

We were looking for cast members of The Green Green Grass.

0:40:370:40:40

If it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.

0:40:400:40:42

Let's see how many people said Nicholas Lyndhurst.

0:40:420:40:44

Ooh. Bad luck.

0:40:460:40:49

Not in The Green Green Grass,

0:40:490:40:50

which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.

0:40:500:40:53

And your last answer is John Simms.

0:40:530:40:55

In this case, we were looking for cast members of Ashes To Ashes.

0:40:550:40:58

If John Simms is right and if it is pointless,

0:40:580:41:00

you will leave you with £1,000.

0:41:000:41:02

How many people said John Simms?

0:41:020:41:04

Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry.

0:41:060:41:08

APPLAUSE

0:41:080:41:10

A really tough category for you, that one.

0:41:100:41:12

But you came up with three...possible answers, anyway.

0:41:120:41:15

I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:150:41:18

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000 -

0:41:180:41:21

that rolls over on to the next show. But it's been great having you,

0:41:210:41:24

and you get a Pointless trophy each for your trouble, so there we are.

0:41:240:41:26

-Thanks very much, Nancy and Alfred.

-Thank you.

0:41:260:41:29

Yeah, it's unlucky. It was John Simm,

0:41:330:41:35

but he wasn't in it anyway, John Simm,

0:41:350:41:37

so the point is moot, I think.

0:41:370:41:40

Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.

0:41:400:41:43

For Torchwood, you could've had Bill Pullman,

0:41:430:41:46

would've been a pointless answer. Gareth David-Lloyd.

0:41:460:41:48

You could've had Lauren Ambrose, Naoko Mori.

0:41:480:41:51

Everyone was pointless apart from John Barrowman, Eve Myles,

0:41:510:41:54

Burn Gorman, Peter Capaldi and Kai Owen.

0:41:540:41:57

Well done if you said anybody else from that cast.

0:41:570:42:00

Let's take a look at Ashes To Ashes.

0:42:000:42:02

Adrian Dunbar was a pointless answer.

0:42:030:42:05

Joseph Long, Montserrat Lombard, Stephen Campbell Moore.

0:42:050:42:08

Again, everyone apart from Philip Glenister,

0:42:080:42:10

Keeley Hawes, Marshall Lancaster and Dean Andrews.

0:42:100:42:13

Everybody else was a pointless answer,

0:42:130:42:15

anyone who's in five or more of those.

0:42:150:42:17

And Green Green Grass...

0:42:170:42:18

You could've had Alan David, Ella Kenion,

0:42:190:42:22

Ivan Kaye, Peter Heppelthwaite.

0:42:220:42:24

Everyone in that apart from John Challis,

0:42:240:42:26

who's obviously Boycie,

0:42:260:42:27

Jack Doolan and Sue Holderness, who plays Marlene.

0:42:270:42:30

Those were the only answers that scored any points.

0:42:300:42:32

Nicholas Lyndhurst was in it in a brief bit of archive,

0:42:320:42:36

as was Roger Lloyd-Pack,

0:42:360:42:37

-but certainly not in five episodes.

-OK.

0:42:370:42:40

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:400:42:41

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Nancy and Alfred,

0:42:410:42:44

but it's been fantastic having you.

0:42:440:42:45

Great performance across the show. Thank you so much for playing.

0:42:450:42:48

Nancy and Alfred. APPLAUSE

0:42:480:42:51

Well, Nancy and Alfred didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:520:42:54

which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:42:540:42:56

when we'll be playing for £2,000.

0:42:560:42:58

APPLAUSE

0:42:580:43:00

Join us next to see if someone can win it.

0:43:000:43:02

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:020:43:04

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
