0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27This is the show where the questions have been asked
0:00:27 > 0:00:28to 100 people before the show.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30All our contestants have to do is come 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.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Paul and this is my daughter Ellie, and we're from Stafford.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi, my name's Emily and I'm from Barnsley.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47And this is my friend Holly from Derby.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Linda and this is my husband, Barrie,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and we're from Stoke Poges, near Slough.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, my name is Matt. This is my colleague Hannah.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And we are from Wrexham.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Welcome to the show. Thank you very much.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Fresh from doing jelly shots on the streets of Magaluf -
0:01:12 > 0:01:14it's the Oz-monster. Oi-oi.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Now, that jackpot round last game... - I know.- Unbelievable.- Yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30For over four years now, we've had the same category on the board.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32It turns up every now and again, we couldn't get rid of it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yeah, we were trying to shift it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37It was Katie Price. Then it was lumped under Celebrity Books...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- We've been disguising it as so many different things.- And still no-one...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43We're like parents putting broccoli under bacon or something
0:01:43 > 0:01:45to try and get people to eat it.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Urgh.- No-one would go near it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Finally, it was chosen - Celebrity Books.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- And Katie Price - that category is gone forever.- Finally.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Oh, it feels so good, doesn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- We've been carrying it around for a very long time.- We have.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59My Pointless back has almost gone.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02The previous record holder, I think, was Spanish Pop
0:02:02 > 0:02:04that was on for a long time, wasn't it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yeah. That was... Yeah, that was Julio Iglesias...
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Julio and Enrique.- And Enrique. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yeah, I wonder what the next one will be.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Oh, but, anyway, our eternal thanks to Sue and Ralph.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Thank you, Sue and Ralph, for taking that off our hands.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Ah. Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22So, Sue and Ralph didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:22 > 0:02:23so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27So, today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39There's only one thing you have to remember,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm sure you know it but I'm going to say it again -
0:02:41 > 0:02:44the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:44 > 0:02:45will be eliminated.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48That's it. The only rule of Pointless.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Otherwise, best of luck, our first category today is...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Countries. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57who's going to go second?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16..as they could.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Countries beginning with a letter in the second half of the alphabet.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We're looking for the name of any country of the world
0:03:21 > 0:03:23whose common short form name in English
0:03:23 > 0:03:26begins with a letter between N and Z, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:03:28 > 0:03:30that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Very best of luck.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Now, Ellie, what a warm welcome this is to Pointless.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37A nice country round like that.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- I mean, really...- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41..you couldn't ask for better. Ellie, what do you do?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm a student at the University of Warwick
0:03:43 > 0:03:46studying biomedical science.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- What year are you in? - First year.- How's it going?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53It's been OK. I get my exam results, you know, a few weeks away so...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, I see, aside from the exams. It's not all about work.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Yeah, university life has been amazing so far...- Fantastic.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01But, you know, the exams bring a bit of a downer on it sometimes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Be honest, now... Paul, talk amongst yourself.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07..when did you start working hard for the exams?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Um... Probably Easter holidays kind of...- Easter holidays, OK.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- In the run-up.- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14But the first two terms...
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Party.- ..were fantastic.- Exactly.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20And who knows? Maybe you've done brilliantly well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Maybe. We'll see.- Who knows? - Hopefully.- Hopefully.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Hopefully, hopefully. Now - geography.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28These geography questions. Countries.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Obviously, I've got quite a lot,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but I'm going to say the first one that came to my mind,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36because why not, and I'm going to say Paraguay.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Paraguay. OK. Paraguay. Paul seems happy with that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Paraguay.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46There we are.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think that'll do, don't you? Paraguay - 19.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Good start to the round.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57They have the same name
0:04:57 > 0:05:01for their currency and their language in Paraguay - guarani.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Wow. Thanks, Rich. Emily, a very warm welcome to Pointless.- Hi, thank you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Great to have you here. From Barnsley?- Yes, originally.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Oh, originally from Barnsley? - I live in London now.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Moved down about a year ago. - Oh, you kept that very quiet
0:05:12 > 0:05:13in your introduction.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I see. What do you do down in London, Emily?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I'm an estate agent in Fulham. - Very nice indeed.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Residential properties?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yeah. Most hated profession ever.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Well, you know? Everyone says that,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I've always been extremely fond of estate agents.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They're great people.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- We are, yeah, we're lovely. - Yeah.- I am.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- No argument there.- There is nothing better than a good estate agent.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- A good estate agent... - If you find a good one.- Yeah.- Oh.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Yeah.- Makes the whole process so much easier, doesn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yeah, but it's always fun going round a house.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And if someone's going to be amusing company as they show you round...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Yeah, definitely.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48It's great being nosy, as well.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Now, Emily, your interests outside of selling houses.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I like travelling. I climbed Kilimanjaro...
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- This is impressive.- Yeah, thought I'd get that in there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Yeah, I like travelling, I like writing and acting. So, quite arty.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Very good, and a broad range of things there too.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Now, Emily, travel...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- This could help. - And I did a geography degree.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, Emily, this is just an embarrassment of riches, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm going to go with South Sudan.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21South Sudan. What about that?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22We like the sound of that
0:06:22 > 0:06:24and it comes from the second half of the alphabet.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Let's see how many people said it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Look at that! Down to 2, Emily.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Very, very well done indeed.
0:06:38 > 0:06:402 for South Sudan.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Yeah, South Sudan's an absolutely terrific answer.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46South Sudan, of course, it was named by the estate agents...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- That's right.- ..just to make it sound a bit more kind of...
0:06:49 > 0:06:50And I would say it's a low answer,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53but I'm going to say it's a very compact answer you gave us there
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and handy for the Tube.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58ALEXANDER LAUGHS Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Now, Barrie, welcome back.- Hello. - Now, what do you do, Barrie?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'm a funeral assistant.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- And you're quite new to the job?- Yes.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Now, tell me, which elements of the funeral assisting
0:07:09 > 0:07:12have you enjoyed so far?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Mainly the driving itself.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Is there a set speed that you should drive when you're...?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I mean, obviously the speed limit but when you're...
0:07:19 > 0:07:20We try to keep it below a certain speed.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22..in a procession?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We've had a couple of Formula One sort of type funerals
0:07:26 > 0:07:28where we've had to be on time but yes...
0:07:28 > 0:07:32And what is the accepted speed? 10mph?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- We try and keep it down to about 20. - Down to 20, I see.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Very decent, very decent.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Now, Barrie, what are you going to go for?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I can think of quite a few.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm going to say one that I know is right
0:07:45 > 0:07:47and probably not as low, maybe, as some of the others.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Turkmenistan.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Turkmenistan says Barrie. OK.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Turkmenistan.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's right. Well...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02our scores range from 19 to 2 at this point.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Look at that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Very much within that range,
0:08:05 > 0:08:06towards the lower end.
0:08:06 > 0:08:084 - very well done.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well played, Barrie, some good scoring from everybody here.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12It's nice, a proper...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Sometimes when you do it on Pointless Celebrities,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- they go for very obvious... - Don't they?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18They go, "I'm going to go for France."
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I think it's a country, I'm going to go for France.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Turkmenistan.- Very nice. - Very nice indeed.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26South Sudan - all very impressive indeed.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Now, Matt.- Hello.- Welcome.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Good to have you here from Wrexham. What you do in Wrexham, Matt?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- My official job title is I'm a science communicator.- Wow.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Unofficially, what does that mean?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40That means I get to blow things up on stage...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- That is the best job ever. - ..in front of an audience.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Yeah.- So, what, in a touring science show?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Not in a touring science show, we've got a centre up in Wrexham
0:08:49 > 0:08:51where people will come in, sort of members of the public and I'll...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Yeah.- ..blow things up safely. - Fantastic.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- So, you put the chemicals together? - Pretty much, yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Do you have a...? There's some really good ones.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02There's one - you mix some solution and you put it through filter paper,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05then you scrape the stuff off the filter paper and that kind of...
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Once it's dried, that stuff will just blow up like that, won't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12There's one we do which involves methylated spirits...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Mm. Sorry, I don't know why I say, "Mm, methylated spirits.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17"Mm, I love methylated spirits."
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Sorry.- Yeah, and that, of course, is quite a big explosion,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22but usually there's quite a few kids that cry afterwards,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- which is not the best. - Oh, that's changed everything.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- That's put a different complexion... - You know what they say, don't you?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30They say Hannah mixes them, Matt Wrexham.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Now then, Matt, what would you like to go for?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36This is quite a good category.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I was hoping something like this would come up,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40so I'm going to go with the Seychelles.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41The Seychelles.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Seychelles.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's right. Well,
0:09:49 > 0:09:5119's our high score at this point.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You pass it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55It's pointless!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Look at that. Very well done indeed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01That adds £250 points to today's jackpot,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03takes the total up to £4,250.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed, Matt.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07A terrific answer, Matt,
0:10:07 > 0:10:08very, very well played.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11You can add an extra little bit to the old nursery rhyme.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13If she sells Seychelles seashells by the seashore,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14it's even harder to say.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Isn't it? That's really hard.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17She sells Seychelles she shells.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Oh, I nearly got that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20She sells Seychelles she shells.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh...I can't do that!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Thanks, Richard. Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Matt, the lowest score of that pass was yours.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Nothing, absolutely nothing.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Then up to 2 where we find Emily and Holly,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33up to 4 where we find Barrie and Linda
0:10:33 > 0:10:34then up to 19, Ellie and Paul.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- So, Paul, get thinking of a lovely, obscure...- Pressure's on.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Let's have some... There must be more pointless answers out there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Wouldn't that be fun if we could have loads of pointless answers?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Get that jackpot up? Oh, anyway, best of luck with that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47We'll come back down the line now.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Hannah.- Hello. - Warm welcome to Pointless.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Thank you.- What do you do, Hannah?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I do the same as Matt, so I work in the science centre with him
0:10:57 > 0:10:58as a science communicator.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That just sounds like huge fun.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It is a lot of fun. I get to go out to a lot of schools as well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05So I tend to go into schools with different shows.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Can't blow as much stuff up in a school...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- No.- But we still get kids excited about science,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11which is the whole idea.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That is brilliant. How long have you been doing it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- About three and a half years now. - How long's the centre been going?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- 11.- That is fantastic.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Cos they were very worried about ten years ago
0:11:20 > 0:11:24that far too few people were going through for careers in science.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26So, I mean, well done you, that's brilliant.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28What are your interests outside science?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I really like going... I'm kind of outdoors-y,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32so I like going for walks in the countryside when I can.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Beautiful countryside in North Wales...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Round Wrexham, completely. - Well, a little bit out of Wrexham...
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Well, around Wrexham. - ..head towards Snowdonia.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Little bit outside, maybe.- Yeah. - Not that Wrexham isn't lovely.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45No, it's lovely, but the mountains are just a little bit out of Wrexham
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- so you head that way, head for the mountains.- Indeed.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now, Hannah, I think after Matt's low score,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51you really ought to have another pointless answer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52What do we think?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I know, I'm going to go for one I'm hoping is going to be a good one.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57It's, like, a Pointless classic.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'm going to go for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Wonderful. Let's see.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Now, here comes your red line.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07If you get below that, you're definitely through. Best of luck.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see how far down the column we go.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Well, you're through.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh, look - 1! APPLAUSE
0:12:21 > 0:12:25One person said Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27But still, that's a fantastic low score.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Very well done, indeed. That takes your total up to 1.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Great answer, Hannah. Very well played.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Although, I have to say,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the worst answer by anyone from your workplace on today's show.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yeah, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines -
0:12:37 > 0:12:39they split up briefly and released solo albums,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- but now they're back together. - They're back again. Yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Oh, that's nice. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Linda.- Hi.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Welcome back. Now, remind us what you do, Linda.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Studio coordinator, doing spin classes
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and HIIT classes, as well.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Hit classes?- Oh, yeah, high-intensity interval training.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Oh, phew, I thought it was some... No?- No.- No. OK, right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- It's not sort of fight coordinating? - Not got insurance for that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05No, OK. And when not doing that, tell us what you like to get up to.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's going to festivals, heavy metal festivals
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and getting more music to go in my spin classes
0:13:12 > 0:13:13from heavy metal bands...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16See, I haven't heard of heavy metal spin classes,
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- that's got to be quite good. - It's great.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- That's got to help. - It's got a lot of passion.- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22How many festivals do you go to every year, do you reckon?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Sometimes three, sometimes six. Try our best.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Either three or six, never in between?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Never in between? - Never in between, no.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Is there still a Monsters of Rock festival?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Yeah, it's Donington.- Donington. Have you just been to that?- Yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- You have, oh, fantastic. - It's brilliant.- Excellent.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Now, you're on 4.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41At the moment, the high scorers are Paul and Ellie on 19,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43so 14 or less sees you through.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45N'ahh.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I think it's a Pointless favourite,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I'm hopeful...as I just blow it all up.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Suriname.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Suriname.- Yeah.- Suriname, says Linda. This is nice to hear.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Here's your red line.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Get below that with Suriname and you are into Round Two.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Let's see how many people said Suriname.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Come on, come on, come on.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Come on, come on, come on, come on.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You're through. 3!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Very well done, indeed. Takes your total up to 7.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Very well played. There's some terrific scoring going on here.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Yeah, Suriname, as you say, an old Pointless favourite.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Scientists recently discovered that Suriname is just the word
0:14:25 > 0:14:27surname with an I in the middle of it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Yeah.- They discovered that in the lab.- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Very good indeed. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Now, then, Holly.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Holly, a very warm welcome to you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37What do you do, Holly?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I'm a lab technician for a biopharmaceutical company.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Whereabouts are you based? - In Harrogate.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- In Harrogate. How long have you been doing it?- It'll be a year now.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49What are your interests aside from the lab?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I like films, that's like my main thing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- So if a film round comes up...- OK. Then you are in.- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well, here we are. So, I'm afraid, not a film round but it's countries.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We like pointless countries, don't we?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I'm going to go for Vinatu. - You're going to go for...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Vinatu.- Vinatu.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12OK, Holly is going to say Vinatu.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13There is your red line, Holly.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15If you can get below that with Vinatu,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17you are through to the next round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18It has to be right, though.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Oh.- I'm so sorry, Holly. Not Vinatu.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27That scores you 100 points,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29takes your total up to 102.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Sorry, Holly, you've just made Paul's day though,
0:15:32 > 0:15:33that's the good news.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- So, Paul, welcome.- Hi.- Welcome. Here from Stafford.- Yeah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- What do you do, Paul? - I'm an aerospace machinist.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43See, that's already thrilling.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44That's really very exciting indeed.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I've actually been doing it for 35 years.- Really? Fantastic.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Now, what are your interests outside of aeronautical engineering?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I love watching sport, any sport.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Mainly football, Rugby League, golf.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Used to play a bit of golf,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00but obviously now I'm retired from that so...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02ALEXANDER LAUGHS Retired from golf
0:16:02 > 0:16:04so you can concentrate more on your work.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Now, Paul, you're on 19.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09If you can score 82 or less, you're into Round Two.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I will say Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17OK, there is your red line, Paul,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20if you can get below that with Saint Kitts and Nevis,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21you're through to the next round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26You've done it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh, look at that, very well done indeed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:341 for Saint Kitts and Nevis
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Fabulous end to the round,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36taking your total up to 20.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Some brilliant answering, there were six answers there under 10.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Terrific stuff. Saint Kitts and Nevis is a good answer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Can't accept Vinatu, it's Vanuatu -
0:16:43 > 0:16:45always has been, always will be, I'm afraid.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Would've scored 5 points. Would've been a good answer.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Before we look at the pointless answers, there's only two,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53we know one of them already, I'll go through some low scorers.
0:16:53 > 0:16:562 points for Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Nauru,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Solomon Islands, Togo, United Arab Emirates.
0:16:58 > 0:17:031 point for Tajikistan, San Marino and Palau. And, as I say,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05only two pointless answers, one of which was Seychelles -
0:17:05 > 0:17:06it's a terrific answer, Matt -
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and the other one is another country
0:17:08 > 0:17:11that's changed its official English name since Pointless began.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Timor-Leste.- Timor-Leste.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Used to be East Timor, now Timor-Leste is a pointless answer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Very well done if you said that. Let's take a look at the top three,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Third place - Sweden with 47.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And Switzerland 51. What do you think is top?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Um, I...I don't know.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31It is Russia.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Ah.- Russia, right at the top with 61.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40the pair who are heading home - a high score of 102...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm sorry, Holly.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You were only...very nearly there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46But, anyway, we will see you again next time,
0:17:46 > 0:17:47we'll look forward to that very much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Thanks very much for playing, Holly and Emily.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52APPLAUSE
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02We're down to three pairs.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:18:05 > 0:18:06in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Hat's off, Hannah and Matt.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Our lowest team score and our lowest individual score there, Matt.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12A pointless answer - fabulous.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Barrie and Linda, what about that as well?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Fabulous play there. Lovely low score.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21In fact, lovely low scoring all round and, you know, Paraguay is not bad.
0:18:21 > 0:18:2419. Can't argue with that.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Yeah, well done all of you. Well done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You can all collect an apple at the end of the show.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31The category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:35 > 0:18:37who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And whoever's going first, please amble up to the podium now.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Famous Michelles. Famous Michelles, Richard.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51On each board, we're going to show you
0:18:51 > 0:18:53six descriptions of famous people,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55all of whom known by the first name Michelle.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You just have to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00It's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- I know one famous Michelle... - Yeah?- ..of course.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04You know, Michelle sells Seychelles seashells.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - Her.- Yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Well, I can't wait to see if there are going to be some French Michaels,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12some French gentlemen on there or are they all going to be females?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- You'll find out.- Who knows?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16That's the kind of excitement we have on this show.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Let's reveal our Michelles. Here's our first board of six.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- Ellie.- OK.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I think I know two or three,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09so I will go for
0:20:09 > 0:20:12the singer and TV presenter
0:20:12 > 0:20:15who won the 2003 series of Pop Idol
0:20:15 > 0:20:17as Michelle McManus.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Michelle McManus, says Ellie. Michelle McManus.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33That's a good answer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Very well done indeed. 8.
0:20:35 > 0:20:368 for Michelle McManus.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Well played, Ellie, very solid start.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yeah, went on to become a TV presenter in Scotland.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Now, Barrie.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yeah, I knew four and Ellie's taken my answer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Thank you very much for that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Um, so I'm going to go
0:20:51 > 0:20:53with the bottom one -
0:20:53 > 0:20:54singer who became a member
0:20:54 > 0:20:55of Liberty X,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I believe, is Michelle Heaton.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Michelle Heaton, says Barrie. Let's see if it's right,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02let's see how many people said Michelle Heaton.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05It's right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Very much looking forward, Barrie, to the reception you get
0:21:17 > 0:21:19next time you're at Monsters of Rock in Donington...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Yeah. Thanks.- ..after that Michelle Heaton answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then, Hannah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27They were the two that I knew...
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Do you want to go through the board?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30..other than the obvious one.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I've no idea with Coronation Street.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Green Wing - she's Scottish, so, like, Michelle Mc something.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37No idea about the golfer.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm going to have to go for the lawyer -
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Michelle Obama.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Michelle Obama.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Michelle Obama, says Hannah. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Let's see how many people said that.
0:21:54 > 0:21:5669. Lower than I was expecting.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yeah, and the best thing to do, as well,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01better than getting 100 cos you still give Matt a chance there.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Now, let's fill these in. Do you know the Coronation Street actress?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- I'm afraid I don't. - It's Michelle Keegan.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08She would have scored you 14 points.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11The American golfer is Michelle Wie. She would've scored you 6.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Now, you will know this next one. She's also in Bad Education.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Michelle Gomez.- Michelle Gomez.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19She is Scottish, but she is called Gomez rather than McGomez.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And it's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26let's look at the scores. 8, well done, Ellie.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Best score of that pass by quite a margin.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Then up to 24 where we find Barrie and Linda.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33And then up to 69 - Hannah and Matt. Yes, you're quite
0:22:33 > 0:22:36far ahead there. But, Matt, you know what you have to do.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Best of luck with doing it. We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK, let's put six more famous Michelles up on the board,
0:22:46 > 0:22:47and here they are.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Matt, over to you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah, I knew quite a few on the last board,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42and now it's just terrible.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Literally, no idea,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47so I'm going to have to take a guess
0:23:47 > 0:23:48and go with the actress
0:23:48 > 0:23:49who played Catwoman
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and say Michelle Pfeiffer.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Michelle Pfeiffer, says Matt.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54No red line as you're the high scorers,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56but let's see how many people said Pfeiffer.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Not bad - 32.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08That takes your total up to 101.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11You just about kept yourself in the game there, Matt.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Other actresses who played Catwoman -
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt and Anne Hathaway.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Now, Linda.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Linda, if you can score 76 or less, you are through...
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Oh, no...you look in pain.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26That was my answer, it was my only one.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Ah.- Ah.- Ahh.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- The Eastenders one, I... - LINDA SIGHS
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I think I know what her name begins with,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36but I can only think of one Michelle
0:24:36 > 0:24:37and I think I've got
0:24:37 > 0:24:39the wrong surname. Ohh.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41No, it's not coming.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'll say the Zoe Slater one -
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Collins. But I know that's the wrong one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Michelle Collins, you're saying. - It's not her.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50OK, well, here is your red line nonetheless.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51If you were to go below that,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53you would be in the head-to-head for sure.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Let's see, Michelle Collins, is it right?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00No. Bad luck, Linda.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'm afraid that scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 124.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's a really tough board, that one.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Sorry, Linda, it is a tough board
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and you know Michelle Collins, she was Cindy Beale.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- The other one. - I know you had to say something.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Now, Paul, how are you feeling about this board?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Well, I know... I think I know two answers that are left up there.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21One's going to show my age
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and the other one's going to embarrass me
0:25:23 > 0:25:24that I know something about lingerie.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27So I think I'm going to go with
0:25:27 > 0:25:29the actress who played Frank's wife, Betty,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em as Michele Dotrice.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Michele Dotrice, says Paul.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37No red line for you, you're already through.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's see how many of our 100 said Michele Dotrice.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43It's right.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49That's a great answer. Well done.
0:25:49 > 0:25:5128 - takes your total up to 36.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Well played, Paul.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Yeah, she's married to Edward Woodward, Michele Dotrice.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00The Destiny's Child star is Michelle Williams.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Of course, yes. - Would've scored you 10 points.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Now, the President of Chile - very, very well done
0:26:05 > 0:26:07if you said Michelle Bachelet.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09It was a pointless answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Now, the actress who played Zoe Slater,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13she went on to Hollywood -
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Michelle Ryan is the answer.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Would've scored you 4 points.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18And I think that Paul knows the answer to the last one
0:26:18 > 0:26:21the Scottish entrepreneur, lingerie magnate.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Michelle Mone. - Michelle Mone, absolutely.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27And that would've scored you 9 points. There we are.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home -
0:26:31 > 0:26:34our other returning pair, Linda and Barrie.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Oh, it's been great having you across both shows.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And I'm afraid this is the end of the line,
0:26:41 > 0:26:42but thank you so much for playing.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Linda and Barrie, great contestants.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46APPLAUSE Thank you.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So, for Hannah and Matt and Paul and Ellie,
0:26:49 > 0:26:50it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Very well done, Paul and Ellie, Hannah and Matt.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:27:00 > 0:27:04for that jackpot which currently stands at £4,250.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, this is where you start playing as teams.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Put your heads together, see what comes up.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15First pair to win two questions goes through to the final
0:27:15 > 0:27:17and plays for that jackpot.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, I think this should be very, very evenly matched. Very exciting.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Christmas Films, Richard.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I'm going to show you five stills now
0:27:36 > 0:27:38from films set around Christmas time.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five stills, and here they come.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07There we are. Five Christmas films.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Paul and Ellie, you're our low scorers, so you'll go first.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- WHISPERS:- 'I only know Nightmare Before Christmas.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18THEY WHISPER
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- 'I think C is Home Alone. - Yeah, go for B.'
0:28:21 > 0:28:25OK, we're going to go for B,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29and I think it is The Nightmare Before Christmas.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The Nightmare Before Christmas, say Paul and Ellie.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32The Nightmare Before Christmas.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Hannah and Matt, what would you like to go for?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Do you want to go through the whole board
0:28:36 > 0:28:39and just fill in all the ones you can?
0:28:39 > 0:28:40We don't know A.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42C - Home Alone.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45D - Jingle All The Way. And E is Miracle On 34th Street.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- I think Jingle All The Way... - Yeah, I was going to say that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50..the best shot there.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- We'll go for D - Jingle All The Way. - D - Jingle All The Way.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We have The Nightmare Before Christmas from Paul and Ellie
0:28:55 > 0:28:57and Hannah and Matt are saying Jingle All The Way.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Now, The Nightmare Before Christmas - B.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12APPLAUSE
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Now then, Hannah and Matt are saying Jingle All The Way for D.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Very well done. It's doing good business.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Which means, Hannah and Matt, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Yes, the best answer on the board as well, so very well played.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40The one you didn't know, which is A...
0:29:40 > 0:29:45That's Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby in White Christmas.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4625 points for that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49C is Home Alone.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53It's a big scorer, though. Would have scored you 84 points.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Home Alone do those lovely, scented candles, don't they?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Beautiful, lovely Home Alone candles.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Wrap them so beautifully as well, don't they?- Yeah, so nice.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03And E is Miracle On 34th Street.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05And would have scored 31.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes your second question.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Hannah and Matt, well done, you stole that one,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13which means Paul and Ellie have to win this one back
0:30:13 > 0:30:14to stay in the game.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Best of luck with that. Our second question concerns...
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Spaghetti.- Simply five clues to facts about spaghetti.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Can you give us the most pointless answer?- Brilliant.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29We've got...
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Now, Hannah and Matt, you go first this time.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12We know one, but we think
0:31:12 > 0:31:14we might as well go for a risk.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15We're going to go
0:31:15 > 0:31:18with the bottom one and say string.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19String.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21String, say Hannah and Matt.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Now, then, Paul and Ellie, talk us through that board if you can.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Well, I think the top one is Sergio Leone.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I don't know the Italian actress.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31The motorway is the M6.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34The Disney film is Lady And The Tramp.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37But I think we're going to go with the first one - Sergio Leone.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Sergio Leone.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41So, we have string and Sergio Leone.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Hannah and Matt said string.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It is right. Very well done indeed.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Spago - string.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- APPLAUSE - Oh, my God.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Paul and Ellie, meanwhile, have gone for Sergio Leone,
0:32:00 > 0:32:01the Spaghetti Western director.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Very well done, look at that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14There's a surprise.
0:32:14 > 0:32:1615. Sergio Leone takes it back for you.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Well done, Paul and Ellie. You're back in the game.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19After two questions, it's one a piece.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21And those were the best two answers on the board,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23so it's a very high-quality head-to-head.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Well played, everybody.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27The Italian actress was Sophia Loren.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Would have scored you 28.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32The motorway is the M6, you're quite right.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35That would have scored 36.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38And the Disney film was the biggest scorer - Lady And The Tramp.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Would have scored 67.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Thanks very much indeed. Here comes the decider.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Art Galleries And Their Works.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54We're going to show you the common short names of five art galleries,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56alongside one of their most famous works,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58but we've missed out alternate letters from the galleries.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03OK. Let's reveal our galleries, and here they are...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Paul and Ellie, you'll go first this time.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45'Prado.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48'R...Rijkemuseum or something. I don't know, so you go for yours.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- 'You go for yours. - Can you say it then?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53'No, you say it. I don't know it.'
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I think we're going to go with Prado.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Prado, say Paul and Ellie, for the Velazquez. Prado.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Now, Hannah and Matt, talk us through that board.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Probably the worst category we could have had.- Yeah.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10The top one is the Louvre, I think.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Bottom one - National Gallery.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14But we can't think of any of the others,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16so which one's less likely?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- The National Gallery. - The National Gallery.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21OK, the National Gallery, say Hannah and Matt.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23So we have Prado versus National Gallery.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Let's see, the Prado, how many people said that?
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Good answer. Very good, look at that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:3813.
0:34:40 > 0:34:4313 for the Prado. Hannah and Matt have gone for the National Gallery.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Let's see how many people said that.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48It's right.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Wow. Surprisingly low.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5436 for the National Gallery.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Very well done indeed, Paul and Ellie.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59After three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Very well played. There's two answers up there
0:35:01 > 0:35:03that would've beaten the Prado. Let's take a look.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06The top one wouldn't, of course, it is the Louvre.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It's a very big scorer, though. Would have scored 83.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- The second one would just have beaten it.- The Rijksmuseum?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Yeah, the Rijksmuseum.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15That would have scored you 12 points.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18And the best answer on the board is the Belvedere, in Vienna.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Yes. And that would have scored you 6.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I'm afraid, Hannah and Matt, it is you.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28But what a performance we've had.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31It all bodes very well for your next appearance on the show.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32We look forward to that.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Hannah and Matt, thanks very much for playing.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Thank you.- Well done, guys.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But for Paul and Ellie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Well, congratulations, Paul and Ellie.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48You've seen off all the competition fairly comprehensively
0:35:48 > 0:35:52and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £4,250.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06APPLAUSE
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Now, if you cast your minds back to that first round,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14we were halfway through the first round and you were out in front.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Did you ever think you might end up here?
0:36:16 > 0:36:21No, I have Dad to thank and Holly to thank as well, so...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Yeah, very, very good indeed.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I mean, very strong performance across the show.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Probably music, film, sport, for me.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Ellie?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Music not so much... Well, current music, not so much film
0:36:37 > 0:36:39and science, maybe?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42OK, well, best of luck. You know what you do here.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44You choose one from the four that come up on the board behind me.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Let's hope there's something there you like the look of.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Today's selection reads like this...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56ELLIE SNORTS Yeah.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- PAUL AND ELLIE LAUGH - I think Horror Film Directors.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- OK.- Yeah. Horror Film Directors, I think.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02OK, Horror Film Directors it is. Richard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05We are looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:37:05 > 0:37:07up to the end of May 2015, please,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10which had any of the following three gentlemen as its director,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12according to IMDb.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22So any feature film for cinema release
0:37:22 > 0:37:25directed up to the end of May 2015, directed by Wes Craven,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27John Carpenter or George A Romero. Best of luck.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32OK, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35To win that jackpot, just one of those answers has to be pointless.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Good.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44John Carpenter - there's Christine.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45So, it's Christine.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Wes Craven is The Nightmare...
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Freddy Krueger...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Oh, the Nightmare On Elm Street. - Yeah. Nightmare On Elm Street.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55George A Romero was Night Of The Living Dead.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56I don't know any.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59So, John Carpenter was Christine. The Fog.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Was Christine...?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Was The Fog a film or Stephen King book? I'm not sure.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05No, The Fog is a film.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Yeah. Was it...did John Carpenter direct it?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I don't know. There's Nightmare On Elm Street,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Nightmare On Elm street 2, Nightmare On Elm Street 3.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14But I don't know if they have different names.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- I don't know whether John Carpenter did...- OK, we need three.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18..Assault On Precinct 13.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20OK, just say three cos I don't know any.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Yeah, got three.- You think?- Yeah.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Are you happy with the three you've got?- Yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Well, I'm useless so... - We'll hold the clock, shall we?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29- Yeah.- Stop the clock.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32There we are. Let's have your three answers then.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Films directed by John Carpenter.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- We'll go for Christine...- Christine.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40..and Assault On Precinct 13.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Assault On Precinct 13.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44And films directed by George A Romero -
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- The Night Of The Living Damned. - The Night Of The Living...?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Damned.- The Night Of The Living Damned.- Dead.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Sorry.- Night Of The Living Damned. I've said it now, so....
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Night Of The Living Damned we're going to put up.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Now, of those three, which do you think
0:38:58 > 0:39:00is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Well, it's not Night Of The Living Damned.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I would say Assault On Precinct 13. - Assault On Precinct 13 goes last.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Least likely to be pointless, like we know now?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Night Of The Living Dammed.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14And here they are...
0:39:14 > 0:39:16We've got The Night Of The Living Dammed,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Christine and Assault On Precinct 13.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Well, three good...well, two good answers up there on the board.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Listen, one of those might easily be pointless.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28If one of them is pointless, what would you do
0:39:28 > 0:39:30with your share of the spoils, Paul?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I'd probably wisely invest it in a car
0:39:33 > 0:39:36for Ellie and her sister, Molly.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Ellie.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Um, I'm a bit more selfish and I'm quite an adrenaline junkie,
0:39:41 > 0:39:42and I've already done sky dive,
0:39:42 > 0:39:46so I'd like to go to New Zealand and do a bungee jump
0:39:46 > 0:39:49and other extreme sports that they have over there.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50- OK. Well, very, very best of luck. - Thank you.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53As I said, two good answers on the board there.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56In the first case, we went for The Night Of The Living Damned.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59We were looking for George A Romero films.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01It has to be right,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Let's find out for £4,250 how many people said
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Night Of The Living Damned.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Yeah.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- No great surprise there.- Not really.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Your second answer was Christine.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22In this case, we were looking for John Carpenter films.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25We're back on firm ground here. Let's find out.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Obviously, it has to be right,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29then it has to be pointless for £4,250.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see how many people said Christine was a John Carpenter film.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36It's right.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Sadly, Night Of The Living Dammed
0:40:38 > 0:40:41didn't really happen.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Christine is now taking us down through the teens.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Are we going single figures? Yes, we are.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Down it goes. Still going down.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48You've done it! Yes! CHEERING
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:40:51 > 0:40:53That is very well played.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Superb job.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00There we go. Look at that. Very many congratulations.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02I don't think you were...
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I don't know who was more surprised. Look at that.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Congratulations. Christine was a pointless answer,
0:41:07 > 0:41:12which means you leave here with that jackpot of £4,250.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Brilliant.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Very well done indeed. What about that?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Paul and Ellie, so chuffed for you.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Brilliant performance. Congratulations.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Nice category in the end, wasn't it?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Yeah.- Yeah.- You knew it was Night Of The Living Dead.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Would've scored you 6 points anyway,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28so we don't have to worry too much about that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Assault On Precinct 13 would have scored you 3 points.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34So well done Christine, hey? Well done.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Let's take a look at some of these pointless answers.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39There's gettable ones here, I think, in most of the categories.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Let's take a look at Wes Craven first.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42You could have had Red Eye.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44The Hills Have Eyes Part II was a pointless answer.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The People Under The Stairs. That's a creepy film.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48That was a pointless answer.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Wes Craven's New Nightmare was a pointless answer.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Few others for him.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You could have had Cursed, Deadly Blessing, Deadly Friend,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Invitation To Hell.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Shocker. You could have had Swamp Thing, The Fireworks Woman,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01The Serpent And The Rainbow and Vampire in Brooklyn.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03All of those were pointless answers for Wes Craven.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04John Carpenter now.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Big Trouble In Little China was a pointless answer,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10with Kim Cattrall and Kurt Russell.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11There's Christine. Starman.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14They Live - which is about a man who finds sunglasses
0:42:14 > 0:42:16which allow him to see aliens.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I would take them back, I think.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20You also could have had In the Mouth of Madness.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22You could have had Memoirs Of An Invisible Man.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25And Village Of The Damned would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28George A Romero now.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29You could have had...
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Creepshow would've been a good answer, pointless answer.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Monkey Shines, Season Of The Witch...
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Survival Of The Dead was a pointless answer.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38You also could have had Bruiser, Knightriders, Martin, The Crazies,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40The Dark Half, There's Always Vanilla
0:42:40 > 0:42:43and Two Evil Eyes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45All of those were pointless answers and also a terrifying evening in,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I suspect, if you went through all of them.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks once again to our winning players, Paul and Ellie,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £4,250.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:43:01 > 0:43:03more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
