0:00:15 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:29the more obscure your knowledge, the better your chances of winning.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Sean, this is my partner Matt, and we're from Leicester.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Couple number two. - Hi, my name's Danniella,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and this is my boyfriend Mat. We're from Manchester.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, my name's Anne, this is my husband John,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Now then, my name's Dave and this is my wife Adele,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and we're from Knaresborough.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Thank you very much, all of you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it
0:01:01 > 0:01:04goes along. That leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:04 > 0:01:07the crackpot with the laptop, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I just noticed on our line-up today, all four couples are actual couples.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19All four of them. That's quite rare, isn't it?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So it's not so much a quiz now as a test of your life choices.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- LAUGHTER - Who made the best choice?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You wouldn't want to be knocked out first, would you,
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- in a battle of couples?- No.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Talking of getting knocked out first, podium one,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32we have, er... Matt and Sean have come back.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Sean, you gave a lovely answer. Words ending G-E-N-T, wasn't it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Beautiful answer.- Stringent, yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And then Matt gave us sergeant, which, of course,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44ends E-A-N-T, so they were knocked out first time,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but I suspect we'll see more of them this time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Danniella and Mathew, also back. Got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53And we welcome our two new pairs on the end there as well.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54It should be a cracker.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just to let you know, Adam and Lucy, who -
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the first two podiums will know -
0:01:59 > 0:02:02they won the jackpot last time, four-and-a-bit thousand pounds.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Even worse news, they absolutely fluked it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07LAUGHTER Yeah, they did.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09But at least you've all got happy partnerships
0:02:09 > 0:02:11to see you through this tragic news.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13LAUGHTER
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yes, as you'll have gathered, Adam and Lucy did indeed win
0:02:17 > 0:02:21the jackpot last time, so we start off with a jackpot today of £1,000.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22There it is.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right, well, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26APPLAUSE
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Now, as ever, all you have to remember,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33the pair - or today I can say the couple -
0:02:33 > 0:02:36with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Remember, there is to be no conferring till our third round.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Best of luck, all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- History. Oh, Sean, is it that awful, really?- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It'll be fine, it'll be fine.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:52 > 0:02:53who's going to go second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06H For History. Richard.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Yeah, Sean was worried, now Matt's worried it's a spelling round,
0:03:09 > 0:03:10- but it's not, don't worry. - LAUGHTER
0:03:10 > 0:03:13On each board, we'll give you seven clues to people,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15places or events from history that begin with H.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23OK, so we're looking for the answers to these clues.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26They all begin with H. Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28It reads like this... HE READS CLUES
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21There we go. Matt, welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Erm, I'm a sales coordinator for a ticketing company.- That's quite fun.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Does that mean you're actually on the phone or are you overseeing?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Yeah, I'm on the phone a lot of the time, anyone with any enquiries.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34We work with a lot of, like, arts centres, theatres and venues.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Do you have a live desk as well, where people can go? A window?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39No, I work from home, but I'm on the phone and things.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh, but that's a shame, not to have a live desk with a window,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44cos you get those tickets that come out of the metal, which is fun.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What are your interests, Matt?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Erm, I'm in a lot of musical theatre.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49I listen to a lot of music,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51play a lot of board games in my spare time as well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56OK, now, how are you feeling, now you've seen this board of Hs?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's not too bad, but I don't think it's going to be anything
0:04:59 > 0:05:03obscure, I think it's going to be what people do know, so we've always
0:05:03 > 0:05:07said to play it safe, so I think for the dam,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09it's going to be Hoover.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The Hoover Dam. Hoover, says Matt. Let's see if it's right.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hoover.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17It's right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21APPLAUSE
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Very good. 67 for Hoover. - Very well played.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Yeah, there's enough concrete in the Hoover Dam to make a footpath
0:05:28 > 0:05:31four feet wide across the... all the way around the equator.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35LAUGHTER
0:05:35 > 0:05:38That's already boggled my mind beyond comprehension.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41They should have done that, then you could walk around the equator.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Cos at the moment, the underfoot of the equator is very uneven.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Well, yeah, some of it's sea. - It'd be better.- Isn't it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50But imagine if you had a footpath, little cycle lane next to it...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Actually, it's only four foot. - LAUGHTER
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Four foot. Nah.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It would turn into a road before you knew it. Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Now, Danniella, welcome back. Now it was Round Two for you last time.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yeah.- Remind us what you do, Danniella.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I just graduated with a degree in accounting and finance.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And have you got things lined up?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Erm, sort of choosing at the moment.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15"Choosing." Brackets, "On holiday."
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Fine, that's fine, that's good. What are your interests, Danniella?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I...
0:06:21 > 0:06:25like, general stuff, like any sort of person, music or movies.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I quite like coding now. I've got the coding bug.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Coding?- Yeah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Bring it on, yeah?- Come on, tell me. I, I'm... I've ducked this one.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So you can program stuff, like, I did an app...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41That's enough!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43OK, Danniella, what would you... LAUGHTER
0:06:43 > 0:06:45What would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Oh, my gosh, erm...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I was going to go for Hoover because that was the safe one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Erm...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm looking at the country next, going back and forth
0:06:54 > 0:06:56between two ones, but I'm just...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think I'm going with Hungary.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- I'm not sure. I don't know. - Hungary. Well, let's hope so.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hungary.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07- Oh!- It's right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, 67 we've got so far. You pass it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12We have a low score. 35.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13APPLAUSE
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well played, Danniella.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yeah, the Hungarian Uprising... was in Hungary.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- That's where they got the name from. - That's where they've got it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Now, Anne, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I like the floral co-ordination there. Look at that, beautiful.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Very nice indeed. Now, Anne, welcome.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34What do you do, Anne?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- I'm a teacher and I teach psychology and sociology.- I see.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40At what sort of age do people start learning that?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's just A-level, is it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44It is where I teach it, it's A-level subjects, yes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46How long have you done that for?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- A very long time.- Oh!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Oh, there's a note of not entirely enjoying it, or maybe
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- it's just been a long year. - Yes, yes, it has been a long year.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, you've had a nice, long holiday to put your feet up
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- and forget about it for a little bit.- Yes, we have.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04OK, now, Anne, what are your interests when not sociology
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and psychology teaching?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, I enjoy literature, the natural world, walking
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- and spending time with my husband John here.- Very good.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16John looking, going "Mm?" Interesting.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Whole range of expressions crossing his face at that point.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Anne, what would you like to go for on this board of Hs?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27OK, well, there's a couple that I might pick, but I think I'm going
0:08:27 > 0:08:32to go for the English painter and social critic and say Hogarth.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Hogarth, says Anne. Let's see if Hogarth's right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, 67's our high score, you pass it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:4435's our low score.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You pass it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Hogarth takes you to 17!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Look at that. Very well done indeed, Anne. Well chosen.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51APPLAUSE
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well played, Anne. Yeah, that's sociology teachers for you -
0:08:54 > 0:08:58very bright. I think it's slightly fallen out of favour, sociology.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I genuinely think it's one of the most important subjects you can do.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Well, it was what you did at university.- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Not just because of that,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07but there's an obsession now with science and engineering.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They're very important, I understand that, but you also have to
0:09:09 > 0:09:13understand the world, its people, and how these things get together.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14The importance of sociology in...
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I was going to say O-level education, then.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yeah, come on, Grandad!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22LAUGHTER
0:09:22 > 0:09:23At least I've heard of coding!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Yeah, there you are, exactly!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Dave, welcome.- Hi.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Great to have you here, Dave from Knaresborough.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33What do you do, Dave?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well, my job title is an information security expert.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Wow. Unpick that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I work for a retail and online grocers, one of the biggest,
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- and I look after the data that comes in and goes out.- Very nice indeed.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50And what do you do when you're not doing that?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Erm, well, I used to be into football and rugby.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm a bit older and larger now, so it's more like golf,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00and I've just rediscovered table tennis.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Very good indeed. Now, Dave,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03what are you going to go for on this board?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04It's all yours, if you like.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You could talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10"Fill in all the blanks." A lot of guesses on the blanks, I would say.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The name Horatio sticks in my mind for the naval officer and...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I don't think I know the Romans, what they called Ireland.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Helvetica is in my head as well.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And I imagine the king was...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28perhaps one of the Henrys, but I wouldn't know which one.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Maybe even Henry I.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32But I'm going to stick very safe and go with the bottom one,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34which is Hastings.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36"Hastings," says Dave.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37OK, let's see if Hastings is right,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40let's see how many of our 100 people have said Hastings.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It is right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:4659.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49APPLAUSE
0:10:50 > 0:10:5259. Interesting.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Scores less than Hoover. Very interesting.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- There we are. - It is interesting, isn't it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You went for the right one, though,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59because you got all the other ones wrong.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00LAUGHTER
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Let's go through what they are.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Of course, Nelson's first name was Horatio,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06but his naval officer was...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Hardy.- Hardy. Of course it was.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10As in, Kismet Hardy, or "Kis-met" Hardy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1328 points for that. The name given by the Romans to Ireland...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- It's Hibernia.- Hibernia. Yup.
0:11:16 > 0:11:1713 points for that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And the name and regnal number, it was Henry.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It was Henry the... Do you know that?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's go for the fourth.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Is the correct answer. - Wahey!- Very well done.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Very well done. 8 points for that. Best answer on the board.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35so let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:11:35 > 0:11:3717, Anne, many congratulations. Lovely low score there,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39putting you and John at the top of the table.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Then we travel up to 35 where we find Danniella and Mathew,
0:11:42 > 0:11:43very good indeed.
0:11:43 > 0:11:4559's where we find Dave and Adele.
0:11:45 > 0:11:4767, Matt.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48I know. I don't know.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Better than last time. - You could have gone for Hastings.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54And then... Exactly. You'd be where Dave and Adele are.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56But, Sean, the pressure is on.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Once again, you might have to ride to Matt's rescue there -
0:11:59 > 0:12:01but we know you can do it. Best of luck.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03We're going to come back down the line now.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12We've got...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'll read those one last time.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43HE REPEATS OPTIONS
0:13:02 > 0:13:06There we are. Adele, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Good to have you here.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- What do you do, Adele? - I work in retail.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I'm an operations manager
0:13:10 > 0:13:12for a designer department store in Harrogate.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Very... Oh, Harrogate's lovely.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- It's very nice.- Very nice indeed.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, myself and Dave have two very small children, so...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24that kind of answers that question.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Now, Adele, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You're on 59. You're not the high-scorers.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31If you could score seven or less,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34you'd definitely be in the next round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35If I could, I'd go risky
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but I think I might have to stay safe...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I hope it's safe anyway.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42..with the British royal house which ruled from 1714-1901
0:13:42 > 0:13:44as Hanover.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45"Hanover," says Adele.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Hanover. Here's your red line.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48You have to get below that.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Let's see if you can. How many people said Hanover?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Not bad, Adele. 44.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00APPLAUSE
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Takes your total up to 103.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Well played, Adele.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Now, you know about royal things.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Do you think there'll ever be another royal house?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Is interesting, that, isn't it?- It's quite hard to imagine now, isn't it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Yeah. I suppose, if they moved their base somewhere, they might choose...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Have they got a base?- Oh, yeah.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17It's all about the base.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19LAUGHTER
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You can't... You can't imagine anyone being usurped or anything...
0:14:22 > 0:14:23You wouldn't have thought so, no.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Or some sort of new line being brought in from somewhere else.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- It would be fun, though. - It'd be really exciting.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Interesting.- It'd be a good reality TV show.- Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Wouldn't it? - Looking for a new Royal family.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36John.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37- Welcome.- Hi.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now what do you do, John?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm a teacher and deputy head in a primary school.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44How long have you done that for?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- 15 years.- Very good. Enjoying it?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Love it. Yeah, it's a lovely job. - Very good indeed.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52What are your interests, aside from the teaching?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Everything that Anne likes, I tend to like
0:14:55 > 0:14:57but I also do DIY,
0:14:57 > 0:14:58which she doesn't like.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00So, I get the little jobs she'd like me to do.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03OK. What are the jobs on your list at the moment, John?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I have a list, of course.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07The top of the list, this year, was a bird box...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Yeah.- ..but not just a bird box, it was a three-compartment bird box.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Yeah... I... Whoa.- Yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Why would you do the three-compartment bird box?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Just so bird families could live next door to each other?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Well, sparrows, apparently, are in decline -
0:15:20 > 0:15:22from 25 million a few years ago to ten million now,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and they like to congregate together and live sociably,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28so it had to be a little terraced run
0:15:28 > 0:15:30of bird boxes in one.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, well done, you. That's great.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now, John, good news for you - 85 or less gets you through.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Oh, good. That's great news. - 85 or less.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What are you going to go for?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43There's two I'm pretty secure on, I think,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and one I'd have to take a bit of a gamble so...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I think I will look at...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51..the ancient poet
0:15:51 > 0:15:54traditionally believed to be author of the Iliad and the Odyssey
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- as Homer.- "Homer," says John.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Here is your red line.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59If you can get below this red line with Homer,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01you are through the next round.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well done. You've done it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:0959. APPLAUSE
0:16:09 > 0:16:1359, taking our total up to 76 on that podium.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Well played, John. Safely through.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Very, very little is known of Homer and his life.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22They believe he was blind and he lived in Ionia, but that's...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24about as much as we know.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now, Mathew.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Mathew, welcome back.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Remind us what you do, Mathew.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- I'm a trainee accountant. - A trainee accountant.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34And your interests, Mathew?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I like running, going to the gym, healthy things like that.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Healthy things.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Do you have any unhealthy interest?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Not too many.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Just a few. Enough.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Just a few.- OK, there we are.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Danniella laughing awkwardly.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49OK, 35 is your score at the moment.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The high-scorers are Adele and Dave on 103,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53so 67 or less gets you through.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I'm fairly sure that
0:16:55 > 0:16:57the birth state of Barack Obama was Hawaii,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59so I'm going to go with Hawaii.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00"Hawaii," says Mathew.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Here's your red line. If you can get below that red line with Hawaii,
0:17:03 > 0:17:04you're into Round Two.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06How many people said Hawaii?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11You've done it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:1540. APPLAUSE
0:17:15 > 0:17:1775 is your total.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well played, Mathew. Yeah, born in Honolulu in 1961.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24His parents met at the University of Hawaii.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- That would be a nice place to go to university...- I bet it is.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28- Yeah.- ..don't you think?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Yeah.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Now, Sean.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Remind us what you do, Sean.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm an IT test and support analyst.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Test and support?- Mm-hmm.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK. So, you're attached to a business?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Yeah, we...
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And you are the white knight
0:17:43 > 0:17:45who rides to everyone's rescue when things go wrong.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It doesn't feel like a white knight sometimes but, yeah, I'll take that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50No, I think people are always pleased to see IT.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54The soothing voice of somebody who can just make everything work.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57It's great. Now, Sean, what are your interests outside of IT?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Like Matt, I also do musical theatre,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01but my biggest hobby is sleight of hand magic.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Do you have a... I say a nom de plume,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- but do you have an alias as a magician?- I don't.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- You just go by Sean? - I might take "Nom De Plume",
0:18:08 > 0:18:10that sounds like a pretty cool magician's name.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Pretty good, pretty good.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Very good. Now, you have a target here, which is 35.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16You can't be worried, can you, Sean?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'd be a lot less worried
0:18:18 > 0:18:21if Mathew hadn't just said the only answer I knew on the board.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24O...K.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25HE GROANS
0:18:25 > 0:18:28There's a guy at work who's going to be screaming at me for this
0:18:28 > 0:18:32but I'm going to have to completely besmirch our reputation and say...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34the royal dynasty of Austria-Hungary
0:18:34 > 0:18:37which took its name from an 11th century castle...
0:18:38 > 0:18:40..Hanoi.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Hanoi.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44OK? OK. "Hanoi," says Sean.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Here is your red line.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You just have to get below that...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Just that(!)- ..with Hanoi.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hanoi.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55AUDIENCE GROANS
0:18:55 > 0:18:56What(?)
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'm afraid not, Sean.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 167.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, not Hanoi, I'm afraid.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05All of those remaining answers would have seen you through as well.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Every single one of them,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09so let's go through them from the biggest scorer to the lowest scorer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The biggest scorer there is the zeppelin, which is...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- The Hindenburg. - The Hindenburg. Absolutely.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Would have scored you 28 points.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The next biggest, the Roman emperor. You'd know him very well.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19- Hadrian.- Hadrian.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Exactly right. Built that wall.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24He was attempting to build a wall right round the equator,
0:19:24 > 0:19:25he ran out of concrete and...
0:19:25 > 0:19:26LAUGHTER
0:19:26 > 0:19:29..that's where he had to stop. 27 points for that.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30The royal dynasty?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Habsburg.- The Habsburgs, yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3416 points for that.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Now, do you know the top one? Best answer on the board.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- I don't, no.- It is Hellespont.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Ah!- That would've scored you 5 points.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42So, very well done if you said that at home.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Yep, well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46So, at the end of our first round, the pair...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49This is becoming monotonous, sending you home at the end
0:19:49 > 0:19:50of the first round, Sean and Matt,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52but I'm afraid we have to do it again.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm so sorry. It's been great having you on the show.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I'm sorry that we haven't seen you progress beyond Round One
0:19:57 > 0:19:58but thank you all the same.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Sean and Matt, great contestants.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04APPLAUSE
0:20:04 > 0:20:07But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And so, suddenly, we're down to three pairs.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15At the end of this round,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17obviously we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Danniella and Mathew, very well done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Our lowest scoring pair in that first round.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Very impressive indeed. Anne, well done.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Our lowest individual scorer there with Hogarth.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Adele and Dave, just great.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Well done. Keep it up.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Our category for Round Two, this afternoon, is Singles.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Singles. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:37 > 0:20:39who's going to go first, who's going to go second
0:20:39 > 0:20:43and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47OK. And the question concerns...
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Colourful Singles, Richard.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54In a moment, Xander's going to show you the names of four colours.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56We're looking for any UK Top 40 single,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58up to the beginning of March 2015,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01that contains one of those words, please.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It has to be just that word, not part of a longer word.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So, any UK Top 40 single
0:21:05 > 0:21:08that contains one of the words you're about to see.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Very best of luck.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11We only need the title, we don't need the act as well.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Very good indeed. OK, so, as Richard has just mentioned,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16we're going to put four words up, four colours,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18we won't be changing them halfway through the round,
0:21:18 > 0:21:19they stay up for the whole round.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22We just want any single that contains one of these words,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23and here they are.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28HE REPEATS OPTIONS
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Now, Mathew.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yes, OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35I can only think of some really famous ones.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm going to say Black Betty.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39"Black Betty," says Mathew.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Black Betty. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Black Betty.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:51 > 0:21:524.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54APPLAUSE
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Off to a good start there, Mathew, very well done.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Black Betty scores 4.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I love that song. Yeah, by Ram Jam.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It was from 1977, the original.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03They remixed it as well.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I think that's when I first became aware of pop music in any way.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- We must have been like six years old, weren't we?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Love that song.- It's a good song.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Not heard it for years.- Bam-ba-lam.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- It's great. Yeah. Good. - I didn't expect Mathew to say that.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16No.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No. But he did. Well done.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Now, John.- Mm-hm.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- John.- Hello.- Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Black, brown, grey or white.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- They're not the brightest colours, are they?- No.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I was expecting red...
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Well, white can sometimes be, can't it?- I suppose it could be, yes.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Or arguably THE brightest - but, yes, you're right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34- Yes, that's true.- Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think...
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I'm looking at brown.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41The Stranglers - Golden Brown.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43"Golden Brown," says John.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Let's see if that's right,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47let's see how many of our 100 people said Golden Brown.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, look at that. Seven. Very well done indeed.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59APPLAUSE
0:22:59 > 0:23:027 for Golden Brown.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Yeah, a number two hit for the Stranglers -
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- also been the new title of two other top 40 hits.- Lovely song.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Dave.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12OK.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I think... There's one I've got in my head,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I'm not sure if it's an expanded title to what I'm going to say.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I think it's been covered a few times, so it might be quite big,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25but it's White Lines.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26"White Lines," says Dave.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Sounds good to me. Let's see if it's right,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31let's see how many people said White Lines.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34It's right.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Now, 7's our highest score,
0:23:36 > 0:23:374 is our low.
0:23:39 > 0:23:422 for White Lines. APPLAUSE
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well played, Dave. Great answer, Dave.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Yeah, by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Let's take a look at those scores. 2. Well done, Dave.
0:23:54 > 0:23:572, the best score of the pass, Dave and Adele looking very good.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Then up to 4 where we find Mathew and Danniella.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Then up to 7, John and Anne.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Very close, all these scores.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Very, very close indeed but, Anne, you are ahead.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06So, no getting away from that fact.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09We still need a low score from you, so best of luck with that.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We're going to come back down the line. Do you know what?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I bet there are some pointless answers out there.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16There must be lots. Let's see if we can find some in this next pass.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Now then, Adele.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So, we're looking for the name of any top 40 single
0:24:25 > 0:24:27containing black, brown, grey or white.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I think I'm going to go for...
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Back To Black.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34"Back To Black, says Adele. Very good.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Now, here is your red line.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You want to be scoring 4 or less, ideally -
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and it looks like that, 4.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42If you get below that, you're into the head-to-head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45It's right.
0:24:51 > 0:24:527 for Back To Black.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Takes your total up to 9.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Some very good scoring going on.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00yeah, Amy Winehouse, of course.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Top 10 single for her and the album it came from
0:25:02 > 0:25:04sold 3.5 million copies in the UK.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06One of the biggest selling albums of all time in the UK.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10My goodness. Now, Anne...
0:25:10 > 0:25:11you are on 7.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13If you can score one or less...
0:25:14 > 0:25:17..you're through to the next round.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Yeah, this is a bit tricky. It's very low scores.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23There's a couple, but I'm going to have to go for...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It might be a high-scorer so, sorry, John.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28..Paint It Black.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29"Paint It Black," says Anne.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Let's see how we do with Paint It Black.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33You want to be scoring one or less.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35There's your red line.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36I mean, yes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38A red layer.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40If you can get below that, you're into the next round.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Paint It Black - how many people said it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:5114 for Paint It Black...
0:25:51 > 0:25:53APPLAUSE
0:25:53 > 0:25:55..taking you up to 21.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Yeah, the sixth number one for the Rolling Stones, of course.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Paint It Black. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Now then, Danniella,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04that's given you
0:26:04 > 0:26:06a little bit of leeway there.
0:26:06 > 0:26:0816 or less gets you through.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11There must be some pointless answers out there.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12- I hope so.- Oh.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I think, cos everyone has got quite low scores,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18so I guess I'm going to have to take a risk.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I don't know if that's the right strategy.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Let's see, so Back To Black's one,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Brown Eyed Girl is probably quite high. White...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I'm trying to think of Taylor Swift songs.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33She probably has, like, White Horse or something.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35But grey... I think I'm going to go with grey.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I've heard it on the radio.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38I'm hoping it's the title of a song.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Grey Sky Morning.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42"Grey Sky Morning," says Danniella.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Grey Sky Morning. Mathew, what do you think?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'm not sure.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47OK. Tactfully put.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49There's your red line, Danniella.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51If you can get below that with Grey Sky Morning,
0:26:51 > 0:26:52you are through to the head-to-head.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Let's see if it's right,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57let's see how many people said Grey Sky Morning.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Oh, Danniella.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Danniella, that was punchy and brave.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm afraid it was also wrong.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It scores you 100 points,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10takes your total up to 104. Sorry.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Yeah, it's a song called Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- by Vertical Horizon - but not a top 40 hit, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19There's loads of pointless answers there, as you can imagine.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Let's take a look at some of them.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Black Cat, that's Janet Jackson.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Black Coffee, by All Saints, is a pointless answer.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Black Pudding Bertha, by the Goodies...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28LAUGHTER
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..would have been a very strong answer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Charlie Brown, that was a hit for the Coasters.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Also a hit for Coldplay as well.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38They have a single called that. Grey Day.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- That was mine. Madness. - Oh, was it?- That was mine.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Well done, pointless answer.- Yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Easy to say now, of course. - Well, obviously.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Men In Black, Will Smith, that's a pointless answer.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Well done if you said that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Nazareth had a hit with My White Bicycle.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Doris Day had The Black Hills Of Dakota.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55White Light, also a pointless answer. That was George Michael.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58A few others you could have had. Black And White Town by Doves.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You could have had Black Eyed Boy, Texas.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun would have been a good answer.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05White Riot, by the Clash, also a pointless answer, amazingly.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Let's take a look at the top three -
0:28:06 > 0:28:10the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Brown Girl In The Ring, Boney M, would have scored 27.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Black Is Black, 28.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- And White Christmas... - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:28:18 > 0:28:20..was 30 points.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So, at the end of our second round, the pair we are saying goodbye to...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I mean, this is just a carbon copy of last time round.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Round One, we said goodbye to Sean and Matt.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Round Two, we're saying goodbye to Danniella and Mathew but...
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm sorry we're saying goodbye so soon,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35it's been great having you on both shows.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Thank you so much for playing. Danniella and Mathew.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Very well done, John and Anne, Adele and Dave.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52You are now one step closer to the final
0:28:52 > 0:28:57and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Now, you know the deal here.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00You can start playing as teams.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02You can confer before you give your answers.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04First player to win two questions plays for that jackpot.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10APPLAUSE
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:17 > 0:29:18LAUGHTER
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Men With Cats, Richard.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Yeah, we're about to show you five pictures now
0:29:22 > 0:29:23of famous men with cats.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26We would like you to name the cats, please.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29We wouldn't really, we'd like you to name the famous men, please.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Let's reveal our five men with cats,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34and here they are. We have...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06There we are. Five famous men with cats.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10John and Anne, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12THEY WHISPER
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I think we'll go for E.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Laurence Olivier.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Laurence Olivier.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26E - "Laurence Olivier," say John and Anne.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Now, Adele and Dave, talk us through that board.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35OK, we think A is Salvador Dali,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38we think B is Pavarotti...
0:30:39 > 0:30:43..C looks like it could be Freddie Mercury
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and D is George Clooney.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I think we're going to go with A, Salvador Dali.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51A - Salvador Dali.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54So, we have Laurence Olivier and we have Salvador Dali.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57John and Anne said Laurence Olivier for E. Let's see if that's right
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It's right.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10That's a good answer. 19.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13APPLAUSE
0:31:13 > 0:31:1419 for Laurence Olivier.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Now, Adele and Dave, meanwhile,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19have said that A is Salvador Dali. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Let's see how many people said Salvador Dali.
0:31:28 > 0:31:2931.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31APPLAUSE
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Very well done, John and Anne.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Yep. Well played. He's actually got an ocelot there, Salvador Dali.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40It's his pet ocelot, yeah. That's why it looks slightly unusual.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Now, B is not Pavarotti.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It is... Do you know who that is?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It is a tough one.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48- It's Stanley Kubrick. - AUDIENCE MURMURS
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Stanley Kubrick would have scored you 3 points.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Terrific answer at home if you got that. Well played.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57C is, of course, Freddie Mercury.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58That would've scored you 47.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I bet it would be fun to be Freddie Mercury's cat.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I bet they had nice lives, Freddie Mercury's pet cats.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Yeah, I bet they did. - Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07He doted on them.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09He used to ring home and talk to them when he was on tour.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10LAUGHTER
0:32:10 > 0:32:13D is, of course, George Clooney.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16That would've scored you 79 points.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Here comes your second question.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Adele and Dave, you get to answer it first
0:32:24 > 0:32:26but you have to win it to stay in the game. So, best of luck.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27It concerns...
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Famous Ships, Richard.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I'm going to show you the names of five famous ships
0:32:33 > 0:32:34but they are in anagram form, I'm afraid.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK. let's reveal our five ships in anagram form, and here they are.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42We've got...
0:32:53 > 0:32:54I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57HE REPEATS OPTIONS
0:33:05 > 0:33:08There we are. Adele and Dave, you will go first.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I think there's only one we know, isn't there?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16And it's the second one down.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Cutty Sark.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19"Cutty Sark," say Adele and Dave.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Cutty Sark. Now then, John and Anne, the rest of the board's all yours.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Talk us through it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Not sure about Gee Lab.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30For some reason, it's just not coming through.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Mayflower for the third one.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34That one looks nice,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- a nice drink at the end of it.- Mmm!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Don't know.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Think the last one is Bismarck.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Bismarck.- What do you want to go for? Bismarck.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- You're going to go for Bismarck? - Bismarck, yes.- Bismarck.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47So, we have Cutty Sark and we have Bismarck.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Now then, Adele and Dave said Cutty Sark for Catty Rusk.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Let's see if that's right and,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55It's right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Look at that, 81.
0:33:57 > 0:33:5981. Now then, John and Anne,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01that's what you have to beat with Bismarck.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Let's see if you can do it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Yep. Very well done.- Oh, my gosh.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Good answer.
0:34:12 > 0:34:1418. APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:17INAUDIBLE
0:34:17 > 0:34:2018 - which means, John and Anne, after only two questions,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Yeah, Bismarck's a very good answer. Well played.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26The top one you couldn't quite see is...
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- Beagle.- The Beagle, yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Charles Darwin's ship, of course.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3128 points for that.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Leafy worm, you're correct, was Mayflower.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That would've scored you 24.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Now, this last one,
0:34:37 > 0:34:38it's an American frigate.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41It's actually the oldest commissioned military vessel
0:34:41 > 0:34:43still afloat and you just have to work out the anagram, really.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's an anagram of quite a common word
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- if you haven't heard of the ship.- Got it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Constitution.- Constitution is the right answer.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Would have scored you 2 points, so very well done if you got that.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57OK, so, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:57 > 0:34:58I'm afraid, Adele and Dave.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well, it's good news for us.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01It means we get to see you again next time,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04otherwise it would all have been over in one show.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05That would have been too quick.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07We're looking forward to that very much.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09In the meantime, thanks very much. Adele and Dave.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12APPLAUSE
0:35:12 > 0:35:16But for John and Anne, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Look at that, John and Anne.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You've fought off all the competition
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33- Fantastic.- Yeah.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35We came for the trophy. We're happy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36- And the money.- Oh.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38And the money, of course.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Because you now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing still at £1,000.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Anything you'd particularly like to see come up on board?
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Charles Dickens novels.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Oh. Literature.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Literature, generally, because Anne's really good on books...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- We haven't had any geography. - Oh!- No, we haven't.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57That's a point.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Here are four things. Let's hope one of them gets somewhere close.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12It's like a dream, isn't it, that?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13LAUGHTER
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- So, Politics...? The last one? - I think Politics.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Let's just hope it's politics...
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- We're not so old we can remember 1950s film musicals, so...- No.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- ..we'd better... - Going PPE at the end.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- PPE.- PPE, please.- PPE, please.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- OK. Richard.- Yeah, very best of luck.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32One question on politics, one on philosophy, one on economics.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Very different ones as well. Let's take a look at them.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36We're looking for the name of any world leader,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39that's any head of state or head of government of any country
0:36:39 > 0:36:43who has appeared as Time Magazine's Person of the Year
0:36:43 > 0:36:45since 1927 when that first came out.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48So, any world leader who's been the Time Magazine Person of the Year,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51apart from in 1993 when there was a whole series of them on the cover.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Forget that.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54We're looking for the name of any philosophers
0:36:54 > 0:36:56in Bruce's Philosophers Song by Monty Python.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59That's from the 2014 album Monty Python Sings Again.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Or we're looking for any winners of the
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences from 1969 up to 2014.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06So...
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:18 > 0:37:19to come up with three answers.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21All you need to win that jackpot of £1,000
0:37:21 > 0:37:24is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Are you ready? - As ready as we'll ever be.- Yes.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Excellent. Well, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK, world leaders - I know Saddam Hussein was one of them, shockingly.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Really?!- Absolutely, yeah.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39The Philosophers Song, Aristotle...
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Who was the one who drank a lot?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- That's the one... Don't say the words out loud.- Oh.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45And...
0:37:45 > 0:37:46- John Nash.- Socrates.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Socrates, Aristotle... - Would you say John Nash for the...?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I think John Nash won Economic... Although he's a mathematician.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Well, I'm not sure. I don't know. - I'd go with...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Let's go back to... Shall we go back to world leaders?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Who do you think then?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Let's go for Saddam Hussein, because I definitely know that one.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02It's a shame to include him, isn't it?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I'm sorry, but he definitely was on it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07So, would it be...? World leaders...
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Would it be...?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12South Africa, would it be Nelson Mandela and...?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14What's his name? The other guy.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Not de Klerk, not Botha.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- No, the other guy.- They got the Nobel Prize for Peace, didn't they?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- They did.- Ten seconds left.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, which philosopher are we going for?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Do you want Aristotle or Socrates?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Aristotle had a lot of bottle... - Well...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK. That, I'm sorry to say, is your time up.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Never lasts very long, that minute, I'm afraid.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37What three answers are you going to give me?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Well, they're all a bit risky, but...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Risky's good. - Put your first one, then.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44OK, well, Saddam Hussein for world leaders as Person of the Year.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- OK, Saddam Hussein.- Yeah.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Aristotle or Socrates?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Socrates.- You can always have both.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53See what we've got in the last one.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Have we got one for the last one?
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Well, John Nash - but I'm not entirely sure about John Nash.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00That sounds like it could be pointless though, if it's right.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- OK, we'll go for John Nash then.- OK, which of the Aristotle and Socrates?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Socrates.- So, Saddam Hussein, Socrates and John Nash. OK.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- I think John Nash.- Perhaps John Nash.- John Nash goes last.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Least likely to be pointless? - Socrates, I think.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Socrates and then Hussein in the middle. OK.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19We'll just pop those up on the board in that order,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and here they are. We've got...
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Very best of luck. Three answers on the board there.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Who knows? At least one of those could be pointless.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32What would you do with your spoils?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Well, if they're right, we'd probably have a family party,
0:39:35 > 0:39:37share it with the rest of the family,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40who are very pleased we've got on the show.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Well, very best of luck.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45In the first instance, your first answer was Socrates.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47In this case, we were looking for philosophers
0:39:47 > 0:39:49mentioned in Bruce's Philosophers Song by Monty Python.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Let's see if it's right,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53let's see how many of our 100 people said Socrates.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Well, it's right. If this goes all the way down to 0,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01you leave here straightaway with £1,000.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Down Socrates goes, through the 30s, into the 20s.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Into the teens, will it go into single figures? Oh, not quite.
0:40:07 > 0:40:0810.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11APPLAUSE
0:40:11 > 0:40:12- That's a great answer.- Yes.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14A lovely score in normal gameplay.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Sadly, not pointless.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18So, we discard it and move on.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20OK, your next answer was Saddam Hussein.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22In this case, we were looking for world leaders
0:40:22 > 0:40:26who have been Time Magazine Person of the Year.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It has to be right, then it has to be pointless
0:40:28 > 0:40:29for you to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see how many people said Saddam Hussein.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37No.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- You were so confident.- I was so confident about that.- You were.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41I was sure it was true.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I'm afraid he is not one of them.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46OK, that means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot
0:40:46 > 0:40:48and your third and final answer was John Nash.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50This was the one you had no hesitation in putting last.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53You thought it was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55In this case, by the way, we were looking for winners
0:40:55 > 0:40:58of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Fingers crossed. If it's right and it's pointless, it wins you £1,000.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03How many people said John Nash?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09It's right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Now then, Socrates took us down to 10, the tease.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Saddam Hussein was incorrect.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16However, John Nash passes 10,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18single figures, down it goes.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Still going down, still going down...
0:41:20 > 0:41:23CHEERING
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- It's a dream.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30We were here to meet you, that was the main thing.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Very, very well done, John and Anne.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Congratulations, John and Anne.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Terrific stuff. A victory for teachers everywhere as well.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Very, very well done.- About time, too.- About time, exactly right.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- They usually fail horribly, as you well know.- We do, we do.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Yeah, Saddam Hussein - he was given an award by Time
0:41:50 > 0:41:51but not Person of the Year.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54As you say, there's been all sorts of people who have.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Adolf Hitler was Person of the Year,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Ayatollah Khomeini was Person of the Year -
0:41:58 > 0:41:59he was a pointless answer actually.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Stalin, Vladimir Putin...
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Even George Bush...- No. - ..was Person of the Year.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Let's take a look at the pointless answers, though,
0:42:06 > 0:42:07in the different categories.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09We will start with world leaders.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Lots of other answers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Charles de Gaulle, Deng Xiaoping - been it twice.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Jimmy Carter, Konrad Adenaur,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Lech Walesa was a pointless answer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Well done if you said that at home. Yuri Andropov.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Richard Nixon won it twice as well, amazingly.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Let's take a look at the next one,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30which is the philosophers.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Only three pointless answers here.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Very well done if you said that at home.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37And let's take a look at the economists.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Daniel Kahneman has become much more famous recently.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45In fact, everyone who's ever won the prize
0:42:45 > 0:42:48apart from Milton Friedman, Jean Tirole, Lloyd Shapley,
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Everyone else was pointless, so very well done if you got those at home,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54especially if you are a teacher.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55LAUGHTER
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, thanks once again to our winning players, John and Anne,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done indeed.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04APPLAUSE
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Thank you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:43:07 > 0:43:10more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- In the meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
