0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Welcome to Pointless -
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:30 > 0:00:31no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- And couple number one.- Hello.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41My name is Ralph, this is my wife Sue,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42and we're from York.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi. I'm Lucy and this is my brother Alistair.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- We're from South East London. - Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi. I'm Barrie. This is my wife, Linda.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51We're from near Slough in Berkshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello. I'm Polly. This is my mum, Joanna. We're from Birmingham.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Thank you very much, all of you,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and a very warm welcome to our newcomers.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We will be finding out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:09 > 0:01:11the most vetiver-scented sidekick in TV history,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I don't think I caught that. I'm the most what?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Vetiver-scented.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Vetiver-scented.- Mm.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- What does that mean? - It's a... It's a... Mm.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's a fragrance. Mm. I'm getting it now.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31A fragrance of what?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Vetiver. It's a very refined smell. - Well, say that then.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- It's a woody fragrance.- Say...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Vetiver. Vetiver. - It's a woody fragrance?- Mm.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- That doesn't sound great. - Woody notes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- All right.- All I'm saying. - Just say that then.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Say, "It's my Pointless friend. He's got a refined smell.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- "It's Richard,"...- With woody notes. - ..rather than say vetiver-scented.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54HE LAUGHS
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, quite a historic show last time...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Oh, Lord, wasn't it? - ..for a number of reasons.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oh, it went on for as long as history.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01It did go on for a long time.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04There's a special place in our hearts for the 200 club on the show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Always there is, and occasionally people join it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Not quite as often as on the last show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12In Round One, Sue and Ralph went out, joined the 200 club
0:02:12 > 0:02:14might I say, very, very unluckily.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16They gave us two very good answers, just slightly off,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19so they were very unfortunate to be in the 200 club.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Round Two, Lucy and Alistair left us. Also joined the 200 club.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Less unfortunately, if I might be so bold.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And then we got through to the head-to-head
0:02:27 > 0:02:28and had Joanna and Polly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Now, impossible to join the 200 club in a head-to-head, right?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- You'd have thought.- Wrong.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36First two questions, both pairs got both of them wrong.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Never seen it before ever.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Barrie and Linda, if you are ever going to win a jackpot,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43now would be a pretty good day to do it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44OK, thank you very much.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Now, Chris and Illy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48so we're adding another £1,000 to that,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50so today's jackpot is really quite exciting.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's starting off at £3,000. There we are.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55APPLAUSE That's what we're playing for.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You know this rule, but I'm just going to repeat it for fun.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:09 > 0:03:11will be eliminated.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Let's not have any 200s, eh?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Remember, also no conferring till we get to the head-to-head round.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Science. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Scientists And Their Initials. Richard.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We're going to show you the names of seven scientists on each board.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41We're going to give you their surnames
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and first letter of their first name.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Can you tell us what their first name is, please?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Seven on each board, 40 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51OK, so, we are looking for the first names of these scientists,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55We've got...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25There we are. Seven scientists lacking first names.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Now, Ralph, a warm welcome back.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Ralph, remind us what you do.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I'm a retired librarian. - A retired librarian.- Yes.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37But you've thrown yourself back into academe in your retirement.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I have indeed, yes. I'm doing an MA.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yeah. What was your MA in?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44English, mainly the American novel.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I see. OK.- Just the one?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Several!- The American novel, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:04:50 > 0:04:52And what other things do you like to fill your time with?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, we particularly enjoy looking after our three grandsons,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56who are ten, eight and six.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Very good. They'll be watching right now.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Quick, tell us what their names are.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Ben.- Yes. Hello, Ben.- Daniel. - Hello, Daniel.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Sam.- And hello, Sam. - Aw, Ben, Dan and Sam.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Ben, Dan and Sam.- That's nice.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Now, Ralph, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Taking a slight chance,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19but I'm going to say that Levi-Strauss is Claude.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Claude Levi-Strauss, says Ralph. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Claude.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27It's right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I think that's a very good answer, Ralph.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Look how far down you've gone there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:3713. Very well done. 13.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Great start to the round and the show.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yes, he was a social anthropologist, Claude Levi-Strauss,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and a leading exponent of structuralism.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Thank you very much.- Pleasure.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Vetiver-scented as well, he was.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Now, Alistair, welcome back.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Now, you are an actor, we discovered last time.- Mm.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- And you have set up your own theatre company.- Yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Gruff Theatre Company.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03If you had a role, Alistair...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I mean, are there theatrical roles or indeed screen roles
0:06:06 > 0:06:10that you have your eye on that one day we will see you in?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It's always good to do, you know, quite dark,
0:06:14 > 0:06:15- strange things.- Yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20So, anything like goblins, ghouls, creatures...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I was going to say there's a Leontes in you, surely.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Dare we go...- No, no, no, no.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- No, OK.- I was thinking if they'd bring back Rentaghost.- Yes!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Claypole. He could give his Claypole, couldn't he?- Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Think so.- Oh, yes. - Be more into that, yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- That'd be quite fun.- Yeah. - That would be fun.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Do you do comedy at all, Alistair?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Um...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- I'm guessing Gruff...- A bit... Yeah. No, it's funny.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- ..is more gruff than ha-ha. - It's funny theatre.- OK.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- OK, it is funny.- Funny, grotesque. - Grotesque.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Sort of Grand Guignol stuff. - Yes.- I see.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52OK, now, Alistair, what would you like to go for?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I don't really know a lot about science,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59so I think I'm being safe by saying Alan Turing.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Alan Turing. Alan Turing, says Alistair.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Let's see how many of our 100 said Alan.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08It's right.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1260.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1760. You can blame Benedict Cumberbatch for that in some degree.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Isn't it interesting?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I think a few years ago
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Alan Turing would've been a very low scorer on this,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and it's great that he's now got the national prominence
0:07:24 > 0:07:27and the recognition he deserves for his incredible work.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Quite right. Well said.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Linda, welcome to Pointless.- Hi.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Great to have you here from Slough. - Yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- What do you do, Linda? - I'm a studio coordinator.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Fix up classes for the centre I work in
0:07:39 > 0:07:40and teach some classes too.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- What classes do you teach? - I teach spinning mainly.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45A bit of HIIT class as well.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you wear a headset when you do spinning?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Oh, yeah.- That's quite fun.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- You're basically a sort of DJ, aren't you?- Oh, yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's all about just getting people...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Oh, yeah. - Cos it's really hard, spinning.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- No, it's only cycling. - Oh, no, it's not only cycling.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01No, it's the hardest thing I have ever done,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- that last sort of... - That last bit of sweat.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- To wring that last bit of energy out of people.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07When you're not doing all that, Linda,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09what do you like getting up to?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Love festivals. Just been to Donnington.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Excellent.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Love heavy metal festivals and socialising,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20going to rock clubs, listening to rock music.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Very good indeed. Now then, Linda, scientists.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Scientists missing their first name.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I was hoping it was going to be the periodic table,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29cos for science, but not scientists.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Yeah.- I've got a choice of two.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Brian...Cox.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK, Brian Cox, says Linda.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Let's see how many of our 100 said Brian Cox.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's right. Well, 60 is our... Oh!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48No, it's not. 76 is our high.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Look at that. Brian Cox.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Sir David Attenborough said,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54"If I had a torch, I would pass it to Brian Cox."
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Aw.- Yeah. He was in a cave. - LAUGHTER
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Oh, yeah. Yeah.- With his hands full. - Aw, that's nice.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02And Brian Cox was there just whistling with his hands
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- in his pockets carrying nothing. - Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06And so it was actually quite a severe rebuke.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Yeah.- "If I had a torch, I would pass it to Brian Cox"...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12because he's absolutely fuming.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15So, it was one of those massive ones, like the sort of 10,000 candles.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16- A big Maglite thing.- Yeah. Oh!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Yeah, and David Attenborough, he's not getting any younger.- He's not.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- Brian Cox.- Come on, Brian.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- Polly.- Hello.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Welcome back. Now then, you were there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You're a veteran of that campaign that we call the head-to-head.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Yeah.- Oh, what about that?! - Oops.- Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Anyway, now, Polly, remind us what you do.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- I'm a student at Exeter University. - And you're studying classics.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Yes.- I suppose classicists, you don't get a year out.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's not like you can go back to ancient Rome, is it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- No, not really.- Get a job in a cafe.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48You can, but I'm not really sure what I'd want to do.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I don't speak any Italian, so I probably wouldn't go to Rome.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So, do you speak any modern languages?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I speak French, a little bit. - OK.- Yeah.- I see.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57How good is your spoken Latin?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Top-notch.- Excellent.- No, only joking.- I expected nothing less.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Do you know what vetiver-scented means in Latin?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05HE LAUGHS
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Strangely enough, no. No, I don't.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Now, Polly, this is your board. This is your board.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15It's got your name and plenty of others written all over it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Do you want to fill in as much is you can?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Yeah.- You could always have a guess at some for fun.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- You don't have to submit them. - Albert Einstein...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I think, is a fairly good one.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I don't know.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28The next one down might be Edward or something like that.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Not a clue for the other two.- OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33So, I think I'm just going to have to play it safe
0:10:33 > 0:10:35and go for Albert Einstein.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36You're going to go for Albert Einstein.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38OK, let's see if Polly is right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Albert Einstein.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Ooh!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Look at that! Look at that!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Fantastic.- That...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I tell you what, that is being well-known, isn't it?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- 99 for Albert Einstein. - How about that?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- At least you're not going to join the 200 club again.- Yeah!
0:10:57 > 0:10:58That's the good news.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Goodness me, yeah. 99 points.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It's very rare we see a score that high for somebody.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'm only guessing these. Eric?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Erwin Schrodinger would have scored you 4 points.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Feynman.- Richard?- It is. Richard, of course.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Another person that's getting more and more famous, deservedly so.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Richard Feynman, 18 points.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17- Dmitri.- Dmitri Mendeleyev.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- It is Dmitri! - It is, yeah. Was that a guess?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- There we go.- Well done. 15 points for that.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24He's the periodic table fella.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Yes.- He's the guy we have to thank for so many pointless rounds.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29There we are. Thank you very much, Dmitri.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Ralph, well done, you. 13.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Absolutely exemplary play there with Claude.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Then we travel quite a way up to 60 with Alistair and Lucy,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42but I would say you're looking pretty safe for the moment
0:11:42 > 0:11:44cos they're on 76, Linda and Barrie,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and there on 99 we have Joanna and Polly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51So, yes, Joanna, let's have a nice low score from you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You'll get the first dip into the next board,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55so I hope you can find something low enough.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57We're coming back down the line now.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04OK, we're going to put seven more scientists up on the board.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Here they come.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07We've got...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'll read those one last time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- There we are. Joanna, welcome back. - Thank you.- Welcome back.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Now, remind us what you do, Joanna. - I'm a clinical nurse specialist.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Indeed you are. And your interests aside from medicine, what are they?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well, I do like gardening.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I like to do a little bit of running.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Not as much as I used to. I have done two half marathons.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49When you say little bit, do you mean a little and often or...
0:12:49 > 0:12:51A little and often.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- A little and often. - But I have done two half marathons.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56See, that's impressive.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Would you call it jogging or call it proper running?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00No, I would call it jogging.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Or fast walking, actually, a lot of the time.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Fast walking.- OK.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07So, what are you going to go for?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You're the high scorer, so it has to be low.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13There's one I definitely know, but I think it'll be quite high
0:13:13 > 0:13:15so I might go for the bottom one and say...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20No, I won't. I'll go for Marie Curie.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Marie Curie, says Joanna. Marie Curie.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24No red line - you're the high scorers -
0:13:24 > 0:13:27but let's see how far down the column you get with Marie.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Look at that. Wow.
0:13:33 > 0:13:3490.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38That takes your total up to an unbeatable 189.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39- Yes.- Sorry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That has got to be close to a record as well for two correct answers.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Yeah, hasn't it?- That's a very big score, Marie Curie.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48First woman to win a Nobel Prize, of course.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Indeed, indeed. Thank you, Richard. Now, Barrie, a warm welcome.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Good afternoon, Alexander. - OK, Barrie, tell us what you do.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm a funeral assistant.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00We've had quite a few funeral directors and assistants, haven't we?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Yeah, we have had a few, haven't we? - We have.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04They obviously get a lot of time off.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Yeah. It's a bit of a lean spell.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- How long have you done that? - Five months.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Oh, I see, so quite new to it. - Quite new to it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And have you tried all the different spheres?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Kind of.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Obviously, limo driving, preparing,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22getting people ready for chapel and services and what have you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Right, OK.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Now, Barrie, the good news is it doesn't matter really what you score.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30You'll still be in Round Two. What would you like to go for?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- I think I know four definites. - Mm-hm.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39But I'm going to go with one I'm not 100% sure on
0:14:39 > 0:14:40but think it's right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- It's Tim Berners-Lee. - Tim Berners-Lee, says Barrie.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47No red line, you're already through. Let's see how many people said Tim.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51It's right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:5642.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- 42, taking your total up to 118. - Well played.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02There's that lovely picture of him on the internet
0:15:02 > 0:15:04with the job title web developer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05LAUGHTER
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Very nice.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Now, Lucy, welcome back.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And remind us what you do.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I work in research and brand strategy.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Research and brand strategy, which as I was saying last time,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17just sounds fun.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Yes.- It sounds fun. Quite a lot of flip charts going on.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- A lot of flip charts. - A lot of PowerPoint.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I learned how to use a flip chart properly the other day in training.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Hang on. What's the secret?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You just have to be really careful not to cut the group off
0:15:31 > 0:15:34by turning your back on them, cos then you're creating a barrier.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You stand alongside it and lift like that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Ow! That's just done my back no end, that.- Oh, does that hurt?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41My Pointless back!
0:15:41 > 0:15:47Anyway, yes, now, Lucy, what would you like to go for?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49As with everybody who's left, doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52You will still make it into the next round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53- OK. - So, you could have a bit of fun.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Maybe have a punt at one of the ones you don't know
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and see if you can come up with a likely name
0:15:58 > 0:15:59and maybe a lovely low score.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It might even be pointless.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, well, I like...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I think that David Bowie plays Tesla in a film
0:16:07 > 0:16:09that we quite like, so I'm going to go...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I think his name is Nicholas. Nicholas.- Nicholas Tesla.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17No red line as you're already through.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Ooh!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Not Nicholas, as it turns out.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 160.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Yes, he is played by David Bowie in The Prestige,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31but that's not quite the right name, I'm afraid.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32OK.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Thanks for a much indeed. Now, Sue, welcome back.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Now, I mean, what a career you have had,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43because you said you'd retired last time you were on,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46but it seems you've filled your retirement with study.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50You've written a book. You've done all sorts of things.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51And we've done a few more as well.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- We've travelled around the world. - What, since the last show?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You're just unstoppable, the pair of you.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58What other things have you done?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01We've travelled round the world with our backpacks twice
0:17:01 > 0:17:06since I retired, and we've also done a fair amount of epic cycle rides.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Wow.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Although one of them was earlier,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13but we cycled the end to end in France not so long ago, so...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Those ends are quite far apart, aren't they?- They are.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18You're never going to discover that more than on the saddle of a bicycle.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19On a tandem?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22No, we did have a tandem a long time ago,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24but I didn't like it cos I couldn't see where I was going.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27That's true. You should've just asked to go in front.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So, Sue, you are through to the next round no matter what you score,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36but do you think you could have a go at talking us through all of the...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Obviously, I know Charles Darwin, I know Michael Faraday.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41All I can...
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Is it Carl Jung?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46I'm not 100% sure of that. I'm going to guess at the others.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Alfred Eddington.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And I thought it was Nicholas Tesla, so I've no idea with that one.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, shall I go for...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Michael Faraday? - Michael Faraday. OK.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59No red line as you're already through,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01but let's see how many people said Michael Faraday
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:0870.
0:18:08 > 0:18:1283 is your total, the lowest total of the round.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Now, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16We'll leave Darwin for a moment.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's Arthur Eddington.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Arthur Eddington. It's a very good score.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21It would've scored you 8 points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Astronomer, mathematician, physicist.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It is Nikola Tesla, I'm afraid.
0:18:26 > 0:18:2821 points for that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Carl Jung, of course.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35He would have scored you 46. Now, we had 99 for Einstein.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37What have we got for Darwin, do you think?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Should we just see if maybe it's 100?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Would that be brilliant? - Let's take a little look.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Charles Darwin would have scored you 96.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50- 96.- 96. Einstein punching the air. Punching the air in delight.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58a high score of 189, Joanna and Polly, I'm afraid it is you.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Oh, I'm sorry.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I felt Pointless owed you one after that head-to-head round,
0:19:03 > 0:19:04but it seems not.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- No.- Scientists and their first names, not your strong suit.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's been lovely having you. Thank you so much for playing.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Joanna and Polly.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:19:15 > 0:19:18For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25And so now we're down to three pairs.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye
0:19:26 > 0:19:29to another of the pairs in front of me.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I don't know who that's going to be.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Sue and Ralph, very strong performance from you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Claude especially strong there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And well done, Lucy and Alistair. Slightly unlucky there with Nikola,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Cos how would you know? You can't tell if there's an S on the end.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- No, especially when David Bowie is pronouncing it.- Well, exactly.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Exactly. And Barrie and Linda, lovely to have you with us as well.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Our category for Round Two this afternoon is Pop Music.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57who's going to go second?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Songs with the word gold in their titles.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19We are looking for the name of any UK top 40 single
0:20:19 > 0:20:22up to April 2015 which has the word gold in its title.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It can be part of a longer word,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26so any song with the word gold in its title.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29We obviously won't accept Gold itself,
0:20:29 > 0:20:30which has been a hit for a number of people.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- It has.- But it has to be part of something else, I'm afraid.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- OK. But it can be part of a bigger word.- It can indeed.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That is exciting. Like a little nugget in there.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Exactly.- There we are.- Very good. - OK. Thank you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48Now then, Ralph, always tough going first on these rounds.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I've got one. It's a very well-known song.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm just not sure about the chart aspect.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Well, if it's very well-known, surely.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Yeah, I'll go with it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Searching For A Heart Of Gold.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Searching For A Heart Of Gold, says Ralph.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Let's see if that's right.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Searching For A Heart Of Gold.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11It's right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I have a hunch...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Oh! It goes down to 7.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Searching For A Heart Of Gold. That's a great answer, Ralph.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Very well done. 7.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Yeah, Searching For A Heart Of Gold is from Heart Of Gold, Neil Young.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Very well played. - OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Now, Lucy.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Lucy, I'm finding this rather harder than I was expecting.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I'm not very good at music anyway,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41but I feel like there was quite a big song
0:21:41 > 0:21:42that had lyrics black and gold in it,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44so I'm just going to guess that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Black And Gold.- Yeah. - Black And Gold, says Lucy.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Let's see if it's right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Let's see how many people said Black And Gold.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- It's right.- Ooh! I'm really surprised.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56It's right.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0011.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0211 for Black And Gold.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Great answer, Lucy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07A very famous song. Sam Sparro was the artist.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Very well played.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Now then, Linda.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Linda, what would you like to go for?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Uh...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I've got a couple. I don't know whether to go older, earlier.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Um...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27All right, Gold Digger.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Gold Digger.- Kanye. - Gold Digger, says Linda.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gold Digger.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34It's right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Go on. Go on.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Go on.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Look at that. Not bad at all!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Best score of the round so far, in fact, Linda. 6.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's a great answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yeah, of course, Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Linda and Barrie are on 6, looking pretty good.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Ralph and Sue on 7.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Then up to 11 where we find Lucy and Alistair.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's all very close, of course, but, Alistair, you're out in front...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04for whatever reason.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07We need a low score from you in the next pass, so good luck.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09We're coming back down the line.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Barrie, songs with gold in their title.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yeah, I've been racking my brains about this.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I'm struggling, but I'm going to go really old school.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I'm going to say Silence Is Golden.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Silence Is Golden, says Barrie.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32OK, if you can score 4 or less, you're very comfortably through.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35That's what 4 or less looks like in red line terms.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Let's see how many people said Silence Is Golden.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42It's right.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Not bad at all. 10.
0:23:50 > 0:23:5316 is your total.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Well played, Barrie. By The Tremeloes, of course.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Excellent. Thanks, Richard.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Now, Alistair, you have to score 4 or less.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Cool.- It's fine, isn't it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04That's easy. No problem.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Erm, OK, so, I'm going to go maybe a bit risky,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12but I'll say Golden Skans.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Golden Skans.- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16There is your red line, Alistair.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21It's low, but Golden Skans, if anything can, Golden Skans can.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24It's right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- It's good. Oh! Look at that! 1! - Well done!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Very well played, Alistair!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36That takes your total up to 12,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38gets you comfortably into the head-to-head.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Terrific answer, Alistair.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yeah, top 10 hit for the Klaxons in 2007.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Now then, Sue, the high-scorers are Barrie and Linda on 16.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You're on 7. We need 8 or less from you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54This isn't very good cos I can only think of two,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57and I suspect they're both going to score quite highly.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm going to go for Fields Of Gold.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Fields Of Gold, says Sue. Fields Of Gold.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Here is your red line. It's low.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Let's see if you can get below that with Fields Of Gold.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You've done it. Look at that! 6.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20XANDER LAUGHS
0:25:20 > 0:25:236. Superb there on the first podium.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Your total of 13 gets you very comfortably through.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Very well played. Number 16 hit for Sting.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Been a much more famous song since as well, Fields Of Gold.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33There's quite a few pointless answers here.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Three of my favourite bands on this first board here.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Gold Forever, which as you know, is by The Wanted.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- We love The Wanted.- Always.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Golden Gun, which was a double A-side for Suede.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Another of my favourites.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And Golden Retriever by Super Furry Animals.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50So, there you go. Three of my all-time favourites.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Goldenballs (Mr Beckham To You) by Bell & Spurling, two comics.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Good As Gold, which was The Beautiful South.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Love Is A Golden Ring, that's Frankie Laine.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Solid Gold Easy Action by T Rex.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The Golden Age Of Rock And Roll, that's Mott the Hoople.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07And Pat Boone, There's A Goldmine In The Sky.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09A few others you've could've had,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12there's Golden Gaze by Ian Brown, Black Gold by Soul Asylum,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14The Golden Ring by the Fortunes,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Working In A Goldmine by Aztec Camera.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17All of those were pointless.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Black And Gold actually the third-biggest answer of all.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Amazingly, there's no real big scorers.
0:26:26 > 0:26:2811 points for that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Band Of Gold, 20 points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35And at the top, Goldfinger, biggest by a mile. 56 points.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40bit of a surprise sting in the tail there.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Barrie and Linda, I thought you might have been through,
0:26:43 > 0:26:44but I'm afraid no.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Sue got in there with a brilliant last-minute answer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50We'll have to see you next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Meantime, thanks very much. Barrie and Linda.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:26:59For our remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Very well done, Sue and Ralph, Lucy and Alistair.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You're now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:27:09 > 0:27:13to play for that jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16APPLAUSE
0:27:16 > 0:27:18This is the point where you start playing as teams.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The first player to win two questions goes through to that final.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Fairly straightforward.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Very satisfying to see our two returning couples
0:27:24 > 0:27:26going through so well, though.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Round One for Sue and Ralph last time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Here you are as our golden couple.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Round Two for Lucy and Alistair last time.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Here you are in the head-to-head. Richly deserved.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36There have been some tense moments and some inspired answers
0:27:36 > 0:27:39from each of you, so I think this should be very close indeed.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54World Politicians, Richard.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Five pictures of politicians from around the world.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Let's reveal our five world politicians, and here they come.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04We've got...
0:28:27 > 0:28:30There we are. Five world politicians.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Now, Sue and Ralph, you've been our low scorers overall,
0:28:34 > 0:28:35so you will go first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Feel free to confer.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- WHISPERS:- Hillary Clinton. That's not Natalie Bennett, is it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44No. Would you say Hillary Clinton? No.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Angela Merkel.- Yes, OK.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48Which one are we going to go for?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Angela Merkel?- Yep.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56We're just going to go for one of the fairly obvious ones.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Angela Merkel, E. - Angela Merkel, E, say Sue and Ralph.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Angela Merkel.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Now, Lucy and Alistair, talk us through that board, if you can.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08So, we think C is Hillary Clinton.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10A, I think we're going to go with
0:29:10 > 0:29:12because Hillary Clinton will score more than Angela Merkel.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15And I don't know if it's her, because the person I'm thinking of
0:29:15 > 0:29:19wears a lot of make-up, so it could be her or not,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22but I think it might be Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Cristina Kirchner, OK.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Right, so, we have Angela Merkel and we have Christina Kirchner.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Sue and Ralph said Angela Merkel for E.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35let's see how many people said Angela Merkel.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39It's right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:4347.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4747 for Angela Merkel.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Now then, Lucy and Alistair have said that A is Cristina Kirchner.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Now, Sue and Ralph. Ralph, you were nodding there.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Do you think that's right?
0:29:56 > 0:30:00I knew the lady's surname, but not Cristina.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02OK. Right. So, yes. Let's see.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Christina Kirchner, say Lucy and Alistair. Is it right?
0:30:05 > 0:30:06How many people said it if it is?
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Oh, dear.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Not, as it turns out, Cristina Kirchner.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Which means well done, Sue and Ralph.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- After one question, you're up 1-0. - Yeah, unlucky.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think both teams thought it was Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23who's the head of state of Argentina.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24It's not.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's one of the many people
0:30:25 > 0:30:27who ran for Republican candidacy for president.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's Michele Bachmann.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32That's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36B, now, we saw an awful lot of her in 2015.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's Natalie Bennett from the Green Party.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Would have scored you 22 points.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44C of course is Hillary Clinton.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Big scorer, though. 83 points.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- I mean, she's no Einstein, but it's a big score.- Mm.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- No Darwin.- No Darwin. - It's all relative, though, isn't it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55LAUGHTER
0:30:55 > 0:30:58And D is Sonia Gandhi,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00and she would've scored you 5 points.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Another very good answer.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Thank you very much, Richard.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07OK, here comes your second question, and it concerns...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- British Birds, Richard.- Yeah.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14We're going to show you the names of five British birds
0:31:14 > 0:31:17that all appeared on the list for a British national bird in 2015,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Can you fill in the gaps, please?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23OK. Let's reveal our five birds, and here they come.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26We've got...
0:31:34 > 0:31:35I'll read those all again.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Lucy and Alistair, we need you to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45but you go first.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48THEY WHISPER
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- SHE SIGHS - I don't know.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53THEY WHISPER
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I think go for the third one.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Yeah?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Cos it's safe.- OK.- Yeah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Yeah, we're going to go for the third one, barn owl.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Barn owl, say Lucy and Alistair. Barn owl.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Now, Sue and Ralph, can you talk us through that board?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08The top is blackbird.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Second is robin.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13The penultimate one is hen harrier.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15And then mute swan.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- I'll go for hen harrier. - You're going to go for hen harrier.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20So, we have barn owl and we have hen harrier.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Lucy and Alistair said barn owl. Let's see if that's right.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's right.
0:32:33 > 0:32:3437.
0:32:37 > 0:32:3937. Now, Sue and Ralph have gone for hen harrier.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Let's see if that is right, how many people said it if it is.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47It is right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Is it going to beat 37? Yes, it is.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Very well done. 25 for hen harrier.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Which means, Sue and Ralph, after only two questions,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59you're through to the final 2-0.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Very well played.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02The hen harrier came ninth on the vote
0:33:02 > 0:33:07to be Britain's national bird and the barn owl came second.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10You're right about the bottom one, it is mute swan.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13The best answer on the board, that. Would have scored you 16.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15And the mute swan came seventh on the list.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16The top one is blackbird.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19That came third in the vote. Would have scored you 68.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Now, we've seen a lot of big scorers.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24We saw Einstein on 99, we saw Darwin on 96,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Hillary Clinton on 83.- Mm.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Let's take a look at what robin... It won the poll.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32It was first on the poll. Let's see what it scores here.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35- 99.- Oh! Look at that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- The Einstein of birds. - As famous as Einstein.- Yeah.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- I'll tell you who'll be jealous. - Tell me.- Batman.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44LAUGHTER
0:33:44 > 0:33:45At the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I'm afraid it's Lucy and Alistair.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Oh, you've done so well. You've done so well.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Here you are in the head-to-head within touching distance
0:33:52 > 0:33:55of our final round, but I'm afraid...
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Might you have got mute swan?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- No.- No.- No way.- No.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Well, it's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Thank you for joining us. Thanks very much.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Great contestants - Lucy and Alistair.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:09But for Sue and Ralph,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Congratulations, Sue and Ralph.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19You've seen off all the competition
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Well, you've done it. It was Round One last time.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Here you are in the final this time.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47You haven't put a foot wrong at all. We haven't had any 100s from you.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49You've been very disappointing in that respect.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51There we were hoping to hand out new membership cards
0:34:51 > 0:34:53for the 200 club.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Lovely ties and handkerchiefs and headscarves
0:34:55 > 0:34:58that we've had made up in the 200 club colours,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00and yeah, you haven't been troubling them.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01So, here you are.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04What would you like to see in this final round?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Literature.- Yep.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- And history.- History.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I am a bit of an amateur bird-watcher, so...
0:35:13 > 0:35:14But that's not going to come up again.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Well, you never know. It might. You never know.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19In this last round, Well, you know what it's like.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You just have to deal with what's up there,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23but let's hope there's something up there you like.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Today's selection reads like this.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- SHE LAUGHS - It's top two or nothing, isn't it?
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Yeah.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Do you know anything about jazz?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43It's got to be the top one. I only know one jazz album.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Oh, right. - LAUGHTER
0:35:46 > 0:35:49This is terrible for us.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51We're going to have to go for Celebrity Books,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53but I don't think we've read any, so...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- That's fine. You can make some up. - Yes!
0:35:55 > 0:35:58OK, you're going to go for Celebrity Books.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Good luck. Richard.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Now, a little bit of Pointless history...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Mm.- ..about to be made.- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07This is round about show 880, 900. Something like that.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10We've been doing this a long time. A long time.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13And since about show 100 on that finals board,
0:36:13 > 0:36:17we've had a category up there that never got chosen,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19never got chosen, never got chosen,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21and it's the first one here,
0:36:21 > 0:36:26so finally this first question is off our hands forever!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Oh! Never need trouble us again. - Never need trouble us again.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Here are your three categories, Sue and Ralph. Very best of luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38We are looking firstly for any adult fiction or nonfiction book by...
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Katie Price.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Been there for a long, long time.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Thank you so much for taking that off our hands.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47So, any adult fiction or nonfiction book by Katie Price.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48We're looking for any novel,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51nonfiction book or autobiography, by Stephen Fry.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53That's a bit easier, isn't it?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Or we're looking for any autobiography, children's book
0:36:55 > 0:36:57or picture book by David Walliams.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00So, any adult fiction or nonfiction by Katie Price,
0:37:00 > 0:37:01any novel, nonfiction book
0:37:01 > 0:37:03or autobiography by Stephen Fry,
0:37:03 > 0:37:04or any autobiography,
0:37:04 > 0:37:05children's book or picture book
0:37:05 > 0:37:06by David Walliams.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08No collections of any those, please.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Up to April 2015. Very best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Now, as always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20All you need to win that jackpot - rather a nice jackpot, £3,000 -
0:37:20 > 0:37:22is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Are you ready?
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- OK.- Good.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- This is terrible.- This is terrible.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32We don't know any.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33I've read Stephen Fry's
0:37:33 > 0:37:34autobiography.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I can't remember what it was called.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40We read David Walliams' book to our grandson,
0:37:40 > 0:37:42and I can't remember what it's called either!
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- What's it about? - It's about the son of a millionaire.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48SHE LAUGHS
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I think we're going to have to give
0:37:50 > 0:37:51three completely concocted answers.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Yeah.- Um...
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Um...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57You can't think of anything? No?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01We're going to have to make one up.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03The David Walliams one...
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- My Dad's A Millionaire. - My Dad's A Millionaire.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Stephen Fry. - Just do My Life twice.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Oh, what, Stephen Fry?
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Do it for both of them.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- And Katie price.- Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Ten seconds left.- Stephen Fry...
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I know he'd have come up with
0:38:22 > 0:38:23something better than that, but...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Can't think of anything else.- Yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30OK, I'm afraid the minute
0:38:30 > 0:38:31has wound up at that point.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I now need your three answers. I'm so sorry.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36It's always tough when you have to make something up.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37You should ask these guys.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39They had to write them. THEY LAUGH
0:38:39 > 0:38:41What are you going to give me?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- My Dad's A Millionaire...- My Dad's A Millionaire.- ..for David Walliams.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- David Walliams, yeah. - Can we do the same title twice?
0:38:48 > 0:38:49I don't see why not.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52So, what we would like is to do is My Life
0:38:52 > 0:38:54for both Katie Price and Stephen Fry.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56My Life, Katie Price. My Life, Stephen Fry.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57OK, of those three...
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Do you want to put those in order? Which would you like to put last?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Shall we put David Walliams last? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04My Dad's A Millionaire goes last.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Which of the My Lifes should we have first? Stephen Fry?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Stephen Fry.- OK, Stephen Fry first and then Katie Price in the middle.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:13 > 0:39:14and here they are.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17We've got My Life, My Life, My Dad's A Millionaire.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19LAUGHTER
0:39:19 > 0:39:21You could make a song out of that, surely.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Very best of luck.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Now, let's just imagine a world
0:39:24 > 0:39:27in which one of those turns out to be correct and pointless,
0:39:27 > 0:39:31what would you do with your winnings, Sue?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33I suspect we'd both do the same thing.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36We'd like to do more travelling.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38More European stuff, actually.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Very good. Ralph, anything you want to add to that?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I'd particularly like to visit the Azores.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Marvellous birds and whales.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Excellent. OK, well, very best of luck.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You might need it, but let's see. THEY LAUGH
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Your first answer was My Life.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56In this case we were looking for books by Katie Price.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Let's find out. Obviously, it has to be correct.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Then it has to be pointless.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Has to be both of those things for you to win 3,000.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05But how many people said My Life for Katie Price?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Oh! I'm afraid not.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Unfortunately, not a correct answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17We're down to your last two. My Life, this time by Stephen Fry.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19We were looking for Stephen Fry books.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20My Life, let's see if that's right,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22let's see how many people said it for £3,000.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Ooh!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:30 > 0:40:34the one you were most confident about, My Dad's A Millionaire.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37In this case, we were looking for David Walliams books.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Has to be right... I'm just going to leave it at that.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41..for £3,000. Is it?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- No.- No.- I'm so sorry.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51It's always tough when you're confronted with three categories
0:40:51 > 0:40:53you don't really know the answers to, and you did well.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55That was a valiant attempt, I have to say. Well done.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Obviously, you didn't find a pointless answer,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00which means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02That will roll over onto the next show,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05but what a strong performance from you right across the show today.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Really nice to see more of you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Such a shame to send you home early last time.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11And you both get a Pointless trophy as well, so there you are.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14APPLAUSE
0:41:17 > 0:41:18And we further applaud you for two things.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Firstly, tactically going for My Life, My Life - very clever.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25And secondly, for ridding us of that category finally.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28The longest-serving category in Pointless history
0:41:28 > 0:41:30is now laid to rest.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32The David Walliams book that you read to your grandson
0:41:32 > 0:41:33is Billionaire Boy.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Yes, that's it. - Would have scored you 1 point.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Oh!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Let's take a look at some of these answers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41We'll start with Katie Price.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Been waiting a long time to say these.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45There's two novels there - Angel and Sapphire.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46The other two are both autobiographies -
0:41:46 > 0:41:48A Whole New World and Being Jordan.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51There are three other autobiographies she's written,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52all pointless answers.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55They were called Love, Lipstick And Lies,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Pushed To The Limit and ironically, You Only Live Once.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at Stephen Fry's books that were pointless.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Rescuing The Spectacled Bear,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06about him doing exactly that in Peru.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Stephen Fry In America. A couple of answers people would have got here.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Definitely The Hippopotamus and his thriller The Stars' Tennis Balls.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Well done if you said either of those.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16And David Walliams, all of his books for children actually
0:42:16 > 0:42:18were not pointless answers.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20His picture books were pointless answers,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22so let's take a look.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Camp David is an autobiography,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25but the other three, all picture books.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The First Hippo On The Moon,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30The Queen's Orang-Utan and The Slightly Annoying Elephant.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35and unlucky in the studio, but a valiant effort.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39And also one we will forever be grateful for.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Thank you very much, and hear, hear.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45but we've so enjoyed having you on the show.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thank you so much for playing. Sue and Ralph.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49APPLAUSE
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Well, sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:54 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
