0:00:15 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless, the show where we're always striving
0:00:27 > 0:00:29to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Charmain, this is my sister Jane,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39and we're from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Kate, this my youngest son Mark,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44and we're from Essex.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm David, this is my friend Anne,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Foxton in Cambridgeshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Joel, this is my lovely wife Sian,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54and we're from London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:00A very warm welcome to you all. Thank you very much.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Headlining our factual festival...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Viewers are bound to take to Twitter to complain it's not Beyonce,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12but he is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you. - Mm, good afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- That jackpot is bubbling away very nicely now, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Mm.- Very nicely. - Smelling nice, isn't it?- It is.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We've got two returning pairs from last time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Kate and Mark, who got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31so they'll be difficult to beat, I suspect.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- They were good.- Very good.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34On podium four, we've got Joel and Sian
0:01:34 > 0:01:36who were knocked out in Round One, but quite a tough round.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I suspect we might see more of them this time.- Oh, I hope so.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And very, very glad.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43We very rarely have rhyming contestants on the show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44We like it when we do.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47We recently had Jill and Bill, which was a pleasure,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and now we've got Charmain and Jane, which is lovely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Always a pleasure to have rhyming contestants.- Always a pleasure.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Well, Sally and Sally-Anne didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Wait till you see this. Today's jackpot starts off...
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I can barely pronounce it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04£7,000.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE There we are. It's a staggering sum.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13APPLAUSE
0:02:15 > 0:02:19All you have to remember is this, the cardinal rule of Pointless -
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:21 > 0:02:23will be eliminated. That's it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25You just have to make sure you're not that pair.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Flags. It's that thing you forgot to revise, isn't it?- Yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:38 > 0:02:39who's going to go second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, and our question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Flags that are the same upside down. Richard.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Imagine if I didn't give any more information.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58We just left you to it. That'd be fun.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00We're going to show you 15 flags now.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02They all happen to be the same upside down
0:03:02 > 0:03:04if you would take them through 180 degrees.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06We need you to tell us the name of any country
0:03:06 > 0:03:08represented by one of these flags, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09There we are.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We are going to put up an image which shows
0:03:12 > 0:03:14all these vertically symmetrical flags.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Here is the image.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK. 15 flags there.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Jane, welcome to Pointless, I say, having put that up.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What do you do, Jane?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm a T-shirt designer. A children's T-shirt designer.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31How long have you been doing that?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Only a few months, because before that, I was a TEFL teacher.- Right.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- I taught English to little children. - Very good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- And you decided... Had you been making T-shirts for fun?- No.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- You just thought, "I'm just going to go into T-shirts."- Basically, yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I just wanted to do something different,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and be a bit more creative and...
0:03:49 > 0:03:50- And you design them yourself?- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Make them yourself? - Yes, at the moment.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- And then sell them yourself? - Exactly.- Online?- Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- I'm starting out online, so... - Very good.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Well, it's a new company. - Yeah.- It's very exciting.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- It's not a company yet.- Yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Well, OK, new business. - Yes.- There we are.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Jane, flags. How are we feeling about flags generally?- Erm...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm trying to decide whether to go safe
0:04:10 > 0:04:13or just have a punt at one of them.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'll go kind of safe-ish, yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- A safe punt.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And I will go for Trinidad and Tobago.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Trinidad and Tobago, says Jane.- Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Let's see if that's right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Trinidad and Tobago if it is.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32It is right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Look at that. Down it goes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Very well done, Jane.
0:04:38 > 0:04:4114. Great way to kick off the show. APPLAUSE
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Great way to kick off the round. 14 for Trinidad and Tobago.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's a great start. Very well played.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yeah, tough on that first podium. They adopted that flag in 1962.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yes, from a flag home. - From a flag home.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- They went into a flag home, and there were lots of flags that...- Aw!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And that one was just sitting in a corner of its little room...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Aw, it can be heartbreaking sometimes.- ..just whimpering.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- See some of them at half-mast. - Yeah.- Just... Aw.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And Trinidad turned to Tobago and said,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- "I think that one. Do you?" - "I think that one."
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Yeah. And they took it home. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Now, Mark.- Hello. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Now, remind us what you do, Mark. - I'm a pub manager.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- See, that's a fun job. - Yeah, it's all right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Well, everyone says that's a fun job. Maybe it's not.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- It's very long hours. - Very long hours.- Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23How many people do you have working behind your bar?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Varies, to be honest.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Sometimes, just me. Sometimes, up to eight or nine.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30When not pubbing, what do you like to get up to?
0:05:30 > 0:05:36I like to play football, I...I go skiing,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38rock climbing in the summer,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41listen to Lionel Richie, all sorts.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- That's...that was out of the blue. - Very eclectic mix.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Have you been a big Lionel Ritchie fan all your life?- Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I actually changed my name - my middle name - for a joke.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Went from being Mark Stephen Roberts to Mark Stephen Lionel Roberts,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- and it stuck.- Well, it's not so bad.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59At least you didn't get rid of Stephen.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01That would've been upsetting if you got rid of Stephen.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Very true.- Now, Mark, what are you going to go for?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Erm...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09There's a lot of safe ones that I could go for.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14I'm going to take a sort of... Not a guess.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm quite confident. I'm going to go with Malaysia.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Malaysia, says Mark. Malaysia. Let's see if it's right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Malaysia.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Ooh.- Oh, no.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Bad luck, Mark. I'm afraid no Malaysia up there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- It scores you 100 points. I'm sorry.- Yeah, sorry, Mark.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- No Malaysian flag on that board, I'm afraid.- Not up there.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- David, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- What do you do, David? - I'm retired now.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I used to work for the University of Cambridge
0:06:42 > 0:06:44as an examination administrator.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47These are exams within the university or...?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51No, they were a national English as a second language exam.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Right, I see, I see.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55And what are you doing with your retirement now, David?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I do some voluntary work at Duxford War Museum.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Oh, wonderful.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I do some voluntary driving for people from the village
0:07:02 > 0:07:04to doctors and stuff like that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Play bowls quite a bit, and bridge, and a bit of quizzing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Very good indeed.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Nice to have you here for a bit of quizzing.- Thank you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I mean, to a quizzer, this is just...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16This is just... THEY LAUGH
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- That was a dangerous thing to say, wasn't it?- ..meat and drink.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21What are you going to go for, David?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Going to play relatively safe, then, and say Israel.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Israel, says David.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Israel.
0:07:35 > 0:07:3655.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- APPLAUSE - That's OK.- 55 for Israel,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40but it's a safe answer there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well played. Everyone can relax. As soon as someone's got 100,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45it's slightly more relaxing, isn't it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You can go for those mid-answers. - There we go.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Now, Joel, welcome back.- Hello.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Joel, we said goodbye to you far too early last time round.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Round One exit for you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Remind us what you do, Joel. - I run my own business.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59It's a recruitment consultancy.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01A recruitment consultancy. That's right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04What do you get up to when you're not recruiting?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Looking after my 18-month-old daughter,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- who's a big fan of yours, by the way...- Aw, lovely!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10..in your narration of Duggee.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12She absolutely loves that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I think it's the first time anyone's mentioned Hey Duggee, actually.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I didn't want to bring it up. Oh, I love Hey Duggee.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- And doing a lot of travelling as well.- Excellent. Lovely.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And travelling, of course, bleeds beautifully into this.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Or does it?- It does, but...I...
0:08:28 > 0:08:33I could risk a lot, and there are two in particular,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36one that's safer than the other,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and I'm just debating which one to go for.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43But I'm going to go with the safer option,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45which is Latvia.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Latvia, says Joel.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Sounds like he knows his stuff, Joel.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Well, let's see. Latvia, is it right?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53How many of our 100 people said Latvia?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57It is right.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Oh, it's a good answer, Joel.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Look at that. Down it goes to 8.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Best score of the round so far. 8 for Latvia.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Great answer, Joel. Very well played.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- It's said to originate from the 13th century.- Interesting.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:16 > 0:09:188, the best score of the pass. Well done, Joel.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Joel and Sian looking very strong,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22as indeed are Jane and Charmain,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24rhyming beautifully on that first podium.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Then up to 55, where we find David and Annie,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and then up to 100, Mark and Kate.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm so sorry. Our low scorers last game.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Here you are on 100.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Kate, I bet that's not the last 100.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I bet there'll be more 100s. - I wouldn't be surprised.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39As long as the next one isn't from you - that's the thing -
0:09:39 > 0:09:42we might see you in the next round. Fingers crossed.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Sian, welcome back, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sian.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I also run my own recruitment business,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- but in creative and advertising, so, different.- I see.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You don't run them from home, your recruitment businesses, do you?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Most of the time, yeah. One upstairs and one downstairs.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07And how good are you at keeping office hours at home?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Hm.- Well, Pointless is on at quarter past five,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- so that's when we finish, so...- Yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14LAUGHTER Nicely said.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Genuinely, working from home, it can be extremely...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Particularly with an 18-month-old, that is...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- She's at nursery three days a week, so...- Good stuff.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Now, Sian, flags.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26How do you feel about flags generally?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Right. Well, there's a couple that I know.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32One's more obvious than the other one I was going to pick,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35so I'm going to go with the obvious one for me,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36which is Japan.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Japan, says Sian.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Our high-scorers are Kate and Mark on 100.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're on 8, so 91 or less gets you through.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Nice, safe target for you. There is your red line.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Get below that with Japan, you're into Round Two.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50It's right, and you are through.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Ooh, look at that. 82. - Just.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54APPLAUSE Not much room to spare there,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57but it's good enough. Takes your total up to 90.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Safely through, it turns out, but it's a big score for Japan.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Isn't it?- It's very recognisable. - They'll be very pleased with that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It represents the sun, of course, because Japan, as you well know,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09was founded by the sun goddess in the seventh century BC.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Now, Annie.- Hello. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Lovely to have you here... - Thank you.- ..from Foxton.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Yes, indeed. - Foxton in Cambridgeshire.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Very nice village.- Very nice. - Beautiful.- Very pretty.- Yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- What do you do, Annie? - I'm retired now,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28but I was a business manager before for the local education council.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Very good. And when did you retire from there?- About five years ago.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34And I'm busier now than I was when I was working.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- That's what everyone always says.- Yes.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- But busier doing fun things? - Pilates, keeping fit...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I've just realised I've been calling you Annie.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- I'm so sorry. Terribly familiar. - My friends call me Annie.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- May we be your friends?- You can be my friend any time, Xander.- Lovely.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- That's a great... Thank you. - And Richard. Sorry.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I think we might... Shall we start calling David Dave?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- No.- No?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58LAUGHTER
0:11:58 > 0:12:00No, I think Davey, Davey won't like that.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- LAUGHTER - He might not.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Anne, what would you like to go for?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07The high-scorers are still Kate and Mark on 100.
0:12:07 > 0:12:0944 is your target.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Right. There's two or three I kind of know, but I'm not sure.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18But I'm going to go with the one I think is right...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Jamaica. - Jamaica, says Anne. Jamaica.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Here is your red line.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26If you can get below that with Jamaica, you're into the next round.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27How many people said Jamaica?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It's right.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I think that's pretty good.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37APPLAUSE You needed 44, you got 43.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- SHE CHUCKLES - Well done.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Accuracy is what it's all about. 98 is your total.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Richard, Jamaica? - No, she answered of her own accord.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47LAUGHTER
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Thanks very much.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Kate, you are currently the high-scorers.- Mm.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm so sorry.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I'm so sorry about Malaysia not being up there and all.- So am I.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Welcome back, though. Lovely to have you here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Remind us what you do, Kate.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I work part-time for a local newspaper
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and part-time freelance writing.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- The Romford...?- Recorder. - Recorder. Fabulous.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- You work in the advertising department?- Yes.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Well, that's what keeps the whole thing afloat.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15That's right. It's probably the most important thing.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Absolutely.- Pays the wages.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20But, actually, a number of local papers are in trouble, I think.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- They are. - Is the Romford Recorder OK?- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Everything ticking over nicely? - Yeah.- Thank goodness.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Still very well read.- Yes, good.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30As, indeed, are all your customers.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Now, Kate, you are our high-scorers.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38There's a world in which Charmain could get an incorrect answer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39And I'm looking at her now -
0:13:39 > 0:13:41it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42But we just have to provision against
0:13:42 > 0:13:44that eventuality just in case.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47So, if you could score 13 or less,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50you would then be in a position to take advantage of that fact.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Well, this is probably the worst round I could imagine.- Oh, no.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm going to go for an old Pointless favourite
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and hope Central African Republic's up there.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- LAUGHTER - At least I've said it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03That's a nice way of doing it. Central African Republic, says Kate.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05No red line for you obviously. You're the high-scorers.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Let's see how many people said Central African Republic.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Is it right?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13- Aw.- Aw.- Kate, I'm sorry.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- If in doubt.- I am sorry.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Listen, out in a blaze of glory is what that's called.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, sorry, Kate. The Central African Republic flag
0:14:23 > 0:14:25is just a big picture of Xander with his thumbs up.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Oh, fair enough.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- There we are. Now, Charmain, welcome.- Hello.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Great to have you here. From London. What do you do, Charmain?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I'm a music administrator for Wandsworth Music Service.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42They administer music services throughout the borough.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43That's fun, isn't it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- That sounds like a nice thing to do. - It's a lovely job.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47And administering music,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- does that mean you do some sort of teaching?- I don't do teaching,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52but I help organise the teachers
0:14:52 > 0:14:54who do go out into the schools and teach.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- You provide the resources, I suppose.- That's right.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So, you've got lots of instruments, lots of chime bars,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01maybe some recorders. I don't know.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Lots of recorders, some saxophones, violins, cellos.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Are you a musician yourself? - I am a singer,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11and I dabble in instruments every now and then.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Which sort of instruments do you dabble in?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I did play cello when I was much, much younger.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- I've played a bit of piano, a bit of guitar.- Very good.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Now, listen, you're on 14.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The nice thing is it doesn't matter what you score,
0:15:25 > 0:15:26you're still into the next round.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29But why not have a punt at another of those flags?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32All the ones I knew have gone.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I did think Switzerland was down there in the corner,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37but I'm just not sure about that one either.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Possibly Poland up in the corner as well.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- But I think I'll go for Switzerland. - Switzerland, says Charmain.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Switzerland.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No red line. You're already through.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That was Switzerland in the corner.
0:15:53 > 0:15:5659 is what it scores you, taking your total up to 73.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- APPLAUSE - Well played, Charmain.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Safely through there.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's the Union Jack there. What do you think that scored?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- United Kingdom is the answer. - Erm...United Kingdom?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I suppose some people might have gone for Great Britain
0:16:10 > 0:16:13instead of the UK, so maybe not as high as you'd hope.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- 91.- Yeah, you're way ahead of me. 84. 84.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18But, no, United Kingdom, the answer there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Then we've got Trinidad and Tobago next to that.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23We've got Micronesia. An old Pointless favourite.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Would've scored you 4 points. Terrific answer.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Then, it's not Poland. It's very similar to Poland.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31It's Austria in the top right. That would've scored you 12.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Second row, we've got Nigeria. Would've scored you 18.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Right in the middle there, we've got Georgia.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38That would've scored you 12.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Then Thailand. Would've scored you 4.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Next to that, you've got Macedonia, which would've scored you 7.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- That's a cool flag, isn't it? - That is how to do a flag.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Bottom row there, next to Latvia, we've got Botswana,
0:16:49 > 0:16:50which would've scored you 4.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53The best answer on the board that we haven't had,
0:16:53 > 0:16:54on the bottom row there is Laos.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Lao, some people call it, but I've always been told it's Laos.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- 1 point for that.- 1 point.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Un point for Laos.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04OK, well, thank you very much. We're at the end of our first round,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- and very sadly...- Mark just told me he knew Macedonia.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- SHE LAUGHS - Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Oh, Mark. - I thought that's what I said,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- but obviously... - Do you know what? You did say it,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16but it just came out sounding very like Malaysia.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19LAUGHTER
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Fair enough. Kate and Mark, lovely having you on the show.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now
0:17:23 > 0:17:26after your brilliant performance last time. We were expecting more.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Thank you for playing. Kate and Mark.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31APPLAUSE
0:17:31 > 0:17:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39APPLAUSE
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well done, everyone. We've seen off one of our returning pairs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Not bad going. And welcome to Round Two.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55who's going to go second?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Women In British Sitcoms. Richard.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Xander's going to show you the names of six British sitcoms.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11We need the name of any female actor
0:18:11 > 0:18:14who's appeared in two or more episodes
0:18:14 > 0:18:16of any of these, please, up till May 2015.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So, any female actor who's appeared in two or more episodes
0:18:19 > 0:18:20of any of the following sitcoms.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23OK, we're going to put a list of sitcoms up
0:18:23 > 0:18:24on the board as Richard just mentioned.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27They will stay on the board, much like the flags did last time.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Here are the sitcoms.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'll read those one last time.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We are wanting the name of any woman
0:18:42 > 0:18:43who has appeared in two
0:18:43 > 0:18:44or more episodes
0:18:44 > 0:18:46of any of these six sitcoms.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Charmain.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Oh, this is not a good one for me cos I don't watch any of them.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56But I'm going to go for one that's pretty obvious
0:18:56 > 0:18:58and that would be Dawn French.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Dawn French, says Charmain. Dawn French.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:10 > 0:19:1351. APPLAUSE
0:19:14 > 0:19:1551 for Dawn French.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Yeah, plays Geraldine Granger, of course, in Vicar Of Dibley.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Anne. Annie.- Yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Annie, what would you like to go for?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27As it was one of my favourite shows
0:19:27 > 0:19:28when it was on...
0:19:28 > 0:19:29It repeats now,
0:19:29 > 0:19:30but it was on quite a while ago,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34..I'm going to go for Gavin & Stacey and I'm going to say Sheridan Smith.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Sheridan Smith, says Anne.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Let's see how many of our 100 people remembered
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Sheridan Smith from Gavin & Stacey.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43It's right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Well, 51's our high score at this point.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47You whizz past that.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49That's a good score.
0:19:49 > 0:19:503, Anne.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53APPLAUSE Very well done indeed. 3 for
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Sheridan Smith.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58That's a great answer, Anne/Annie. Very well played.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Yes, she played Smithy's sister, of course, Rudi.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Excellent. Now, Sian.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Um, I know quite a few of them, but my mind's gone blank,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10which is really annoying.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, I think I'm going to go for
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Fawlty Towers and Prunella Scales.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Prunella Scales, says Sian.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Prunella Scales.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2651's the highest score, which you pass.
0:20:26 > 0:20:273 is our low.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29You don't quite get to 3,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31but that's pretty good. 17. APPLAUSE
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Not bad.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Not bad at all. Richard.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Yeah, plays, of course, Cybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. 12 episodes.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Just the 12.- Just the 12. - There we are. Thanks.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:42 > 0:20:433, Annie, well done.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Annie and David looking very strong there on 3.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Then up to 17, where we find Sian and Joel.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Then up to 51, Charmain and Jane.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Jane, as long as we have a nice, low score from you,
0:20:53 > 0:20:54you are in with a chance.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Do you watch any more telly than your sister?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Well, a few of those, but...my mind's gone blank, so...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Just keep thinking. Let's hope, by the time we get to you,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03you'll have a lovely, low-scoring answer
0:21:03 > 0:21:06that'll keep you in the game. We're coming back down the line.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Joel.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17We're looking for any female actor from any of these sitcoms.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, considering it's one of my favourite shows,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'll go for Peep Show
0:21:22 > 0:21:23and say Olivia Coleman.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Olivia Colman. Lovely Olivia Colman.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You're on 17. The high-scorers are Jane and Charmain, 51.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30That's your red line. Get below that,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32you're into the next round. Olivia Colman.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Very well done, Joel.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Look at that. 3.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46APPLAUSE Very strong play
0:21:46 > 0:21:48on that far podium there, taking your total up to 20.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Well played, Joel.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Yeah, 32 episodes Peep Show, she's been in at time of recording.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Might they do more?- They are doing more, yeah.- Are they really?- Yeah.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58That's great news. David.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yes. Um...
0:22:00 > 0:22:01If you can score 47 or less,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03you're into the head-to-head.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05The only one I'm reasonably happy
0:22:05 > 0:22:06with, I think may be a high-scorer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'll say Connie Booth
0:22:08 > 0:22:09from Fawlty Towers.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Connie Booth. There's your red line.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Let's see if that's right. How many people said Connie Booth?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's right.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Very well done. Good enough.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Actually, very good. Look at that. 11.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27APPLAUSE 11, taking your total up to 14.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- The lowest total of the round. - Yeah, another good answer.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33She, of course, wrote the show with John Cleese as well, Connie Booth.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Exactly.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Now, Jane, I'm sorry to say, you are the high-scorers,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40even before you've given your answer,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43but what have you got for us?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I was going to go
0:22:44 > 0:22:45with Wendy Richard,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but now I'm going with Leslie Ash
0:22:47 > 0:22:48since it doesn't really matter.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And perhaps she was funny...in one of those. So, Leslie Ash.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54OK, Leslie Ash. HE CHUCKLES
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Let's see. No red line. You're the high-scorers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59But how many people said Leslie Ash? Is it right?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03No. Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06You were the high-scorers anyway, so there we are.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- 151 is your total in the end. - Yeah, sorry, Jane.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11No Leslie Ash. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers
0:23:11 > 0:23:14from the different categories.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Cheryl Campbell is in Peep Show, two episodes of Peep Show.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Edna Dore is in Gavin & Stacey. She plays Edna.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Gilly Flower and Renee Roberts are the two elderly ladies,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23the permanent residents of Fawlty Towers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25They're both pointless answers.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Julia Davis was in seven episodes of Gavin & Stacey.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Julie Fernandez was in The Office. Played Brenda.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Melanie Walters, also Gavin & Stacey.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35She played Gwen. That's a very good answer.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Pam Ferris was in two episodes of Gavin & Stacey as well.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Patricia Kane from Vicar Of Dibley.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And from Dinnerladies, Sue Cleaver.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Very well done if you said any of those.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Julie Walters, 28, from Dinnerladies.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Victoria Wood, also Dinnerladies, 49.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56And we've seen the top answer, Dawn French, 51.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Did you have a good answer for any of those?- Anne Reid.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Anne Reid from Dinnerladies, of course.- Yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:027 points for Anne Reid.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Maxine Peake, I thought. She was 10 points for Dinnerladies.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Very good. Thanks very much.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09At the end of our second round, the pair we're sending home
0:24:09 > 0:24:11with a high score of 151 is Jane and Charmain.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I'm sorry to be sending you home so soon,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Thanks very much, Jane and Charmain. APPLAUSE
0:24:21 > 0:24:23But for Joel and Sian, and David and Anne,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30APPLAUSE
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Congratulations, Joel and Sian, David and Anne.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You are now one step closer to the final
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38which currently stands at...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, someone's going to have to win it sooner or later
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and this is the bit where we decide who's going to play for it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You know what happens - you play as teams from here on in.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54First pair to win two questions will be going through to that final.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Here's your first question and it's all about...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09THEY CHUCKLE It's all about penguins. Richard.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Yeah, well, you remember a few weeks ago,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14we did a round all about Twixes, so, today, I thought we would...
0:25:14 > 0:25:17No, we're going to give you five clues now to facts about penguins.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23OK, so, let's reveal our five facts about penguins. And here they are.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The penguin facts line up like this...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I'll read those all one last time.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Now, Joel and Sian, you are our low-scorers,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05so you will go first. Feel free to confer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08THEY WHISPER
0:26:15 > 0:26:16I'll go for the top one,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18and it's Danny DeVito.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Danny DeVito played The Penguin in Batman Returns. Danny DeVito.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Now, David and Anne.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Do you want to go through it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Uh, no. - LAUGHTER
0:26:31 > 0:26:33No, I don't think we dare.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35We think we'll settle for
0:26:35 > 0:26:37the fourth one down, which we think
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- is the emperor penguin. - The emperor penguin.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43So, we have Danny DeVito and we have the emperor penguin.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Joel and Sian said Danny DeVito
0:26:45 > 0:26:47played The Penguin in Batman Returns.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52It is right.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5732.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:0132 for Danny DeVito.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Meanwhile, David and Annie have said the emperor penguin is
0:27:04 > 0:27:07the tallest living species. Let's see if that's right.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Let's see how many people said the emperor.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- It's wrong.- It's right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Ooh, 68, though.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's a high score. APPLAUSE
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Very well done, Joel and Sian.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21After one question, you are up one-nil.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Yeah, emperor penguin, they can grow up to 9ft tall.- No!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- No, not really. - LAUGHTER
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I was going to say, that's almost up to you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Can you imagine? A 9ft-tall penguin?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31- A 9ft-tall penguin.- I'd be...
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I tell you what, I'd be calling that emperor, as well. I would be.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39The name of the most northerly species.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Of course, they're southern, they're from the Antarctic, penguins,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44but there are Galapagos penguins.
0:27:46 > 0:27:491 point for that. And they're 21 inches high, on average.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- Aw.- That's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- That is quite sweet. - A Galapagos penguin.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Now, the actor who stars as the title character
0:27:55 > 0:27:58in the film is Jim Carrey.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It's actually a rather good film, Mr Popper's Penguins. 23 points.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And if you had to have a guess on the decade.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06'50s.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- '30s.- '30s.- 1930s.
0:28:08 > 0:28:101935, the first ten came out.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12And that would've scored you 9 points.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14So, the best answer there is Galapagos penguin.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if we had one coming on now?
0:28:17 > 0:28:209ft. On it comes, bursting through the screen.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22HE IMITATES EXPLOSION
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Just going, "Is anybody else hot? I'm so hot."
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- "I'm so hot."- We'd have to keep covering him in make-up.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32LAUGHTER
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Anyway, here comes our second question.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now, David and Anne, you get to answer it first,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40It concerns...
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Oh, no.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46UK Number One Singles. Richard.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Yeah, this is the sort of round that you like
0:28:48 > 0:28:50cos we're going to show five visual clues now
0:28:50 > 0:28:52to the titles of UK number one singles.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Can you work out which singles we are referring to?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they are.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59We've got...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27OK...there we are.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Now, David and Annie, you can go first.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Would you go for C?- Well...
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- What do you think?- ..I know...
0:29:35 > 0:29:37We think we know three of them.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39We THINK we know.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43But we're going to go, I think,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- for C.- Yeah.- Running Bear.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Running Bear. Running Bear.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53OK, David and Anne are saying Running Bear.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Now, Joel and Sian,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56that board is all yours.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Do you want to talk us through it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59You go through it?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I think A is Ring My Bell.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Message In A Bottle.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10And the last one, I can't think.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Um...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15So, I think I'm going to go with A and Ring My Bell.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Ring My Bell.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19So, we have Running Bear and we have Ring My Bell.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21David and Anne said Running Bear for C.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:3411.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36APPLAUSE
0:30:38 > 0:30:3911 for Running Bear.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Ring My Bell for A.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:5437. APPLAUSE
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Well done, David and Anne. Back in the game.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- After two questions, it's one-all. - Very well played.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01We should dedicate this show to the photographer
0:31:01 > 0:31:02who took that photograph
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- of the running bear.- Yes.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Can you imagine that?
0:31:05 > 0:31:06I hope he had a very long lens.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I hope so.- That's quite scary.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09When you said Running Bear,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I was thinking, you were spelling it B-A-R-E.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- LAUGHTER - You could do, could do.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I thought that was a more nudist single, but there we are.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Very different song, isn't it?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Now B. Such a cryptic photograph, that(!)
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Yeah, Message In A Bottle. - Yeah.- Of course it is.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26That would've scored you 85 points, perhaps unsurprisingly.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27D is Tight Fit, of course,
0:31:27 > 0:31:28The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Aw.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30That's a long lens as well, isn't it?
0:31:30 > 0:31:3245 points. I don't know cos he's asleep.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Still, you wouldn't catch me going that close.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36No. I hope not.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40And E, the one you didn't know, is Goodbye.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Goodbye is the answer.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43That would've scored you 21. Well done if you said that.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48OK, it all comes down to a third and final question. The decider.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and plays for that colossal jackpot.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:00 > 0:32:01There we go. Richard.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Should we just go back to penguins? - LAUGHTER
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Going to show you the names of five famous battles
0:32:06 > 0:32:09that took place during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12but we've missed out alternate letters from each one.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Can you fill in those gaps?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- to play for the jackpot. - Thanks very much.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, let's reveal our battles, and here they come.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23We've got...
0:32:35 > 0:32:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Now then, Joel and Sian, you'll go first this time.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I'm amazed we actually
0:32:54 > 0:32:55know some of them.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00But we're going to go for
0:33:00 > 0:33:01the bottom one
0:33:01 > 0:33:03and say Leipzig.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Leipzig, say Joel and Sian. Leipzig.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Now then, David and Anne,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12The top one is Waterloo.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14The second one is The Nile.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16The 1805 is Trafalgar.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17But we'll go for the middle one,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- which is Marengo.- Marengo.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Marengo, say David and Annie.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Leipzig.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Leipzig.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Leipzig scores 39.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38APPLAUSE
0:33:40 > 0:33:42David and Anne have gone for Marengo.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Marengo.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48It's right.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Very well done. Wins you the point.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And 8, as well, it scores.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57APPLAUSE What it means, more importantly,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59David and Anne, is that after three questions,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01you're through to the final two-one.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Great head-to-head, and for the second question,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05you got the best possible answer as well.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Very well played. Can't argue with that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Waterloo, up the top, is a big scorer, unsurprisingly.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12That would have scored you 72.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14The Nile, actually quite a low-scorer.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16The Nile would have scored you 11.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21And Trafalgar, that would have scored you 49.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23There we are. Thank you very much.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:34:25 > 0:34:28We've had a bit of a run of this, of our low-scoring, golden pairs
0:34:28 > 0:34:31actually being knocked out in the head-to-head.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'm afraid to say, Joel and Sian, that is your fate.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Really strong performance across the show today,
0:34:38 > 0:34:39but this, I fear, is the end of the line.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Joel and Sian. Wonderful contestants.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:45 > 0:34:48But for David and Anne, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51APPLAUSE
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Well, I mean, for heaven's sake, David and Anne,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58you've seen off all the competition
0:34:58 > 0:35:01and you have each won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09You also have a chance now to play for that jackpot.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I mean, it's a colossal jackpot.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £7,000.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:23It's been a while since we've had a jackpot that big, I have to say.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Let's take a look and see what's on the board today.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31You know what it's like. They're a bit forbidding to start with,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34but behind them, there's usually something.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- What do you think? - What do you like?- Well...
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- You like medieval history. - Dave is good at sport.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Police could be anything, really.- Yes.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Shall we go for Medieval History?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Yes, why not? - Let's go for Medieval History.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Medieval History it is.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56OK, very best of luck. I hope one of these suits you.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I know some people at home will love it,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00some people at home will hate it, but let's see how you find it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04We're looking for any name, any individual whose name appears
0:36:04 > 0:36:06sewn into one of the captions or inscriptions
0:36:06 > 0:36:08on the Bayeux Tapestry, please.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Their name in English, rather than in the Latin.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14We are looking for any place names in the preamble
0:36:14 > 0:36:15to the 1215 Magna Carta.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18So, any place names mentioned in that preamble.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Or any Scottish monarch
0:36:19 > 0:36:211000 AD to 1500 AD, please.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The English versions of any people
0:36:23 > 0:36:24named in the Bayeux Tapestry,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27place names in the 1215 Magna Carta
0:36:27 > 0:36:29or any Scottish monarchs,
0:36:29 > 0:36:301000 AD to 1500 AD.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Very best of luck.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up
0:36:34 > 0:36:37with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for just one
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43There they are.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Your time starts now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Thank you.- Scottish monarchs.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- James VI was...- Malcolm.- Yes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52James VI, did you say?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Well, James VI was...- James VI. - There must be ones before him
0:36:55 > 0:36:56cos he was in...
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- He was later, though, wasn't he? - He was Tudor, but there must be...
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- James II has got to be... - Yeah, maybe.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- But Malcolm, certainly, I think. - Malcolm, certainly, yes.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Place names in the Magna Carta. - I've got no idea.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Runnymede.- Runnymede.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Named people in the Bayeux Tapestry.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12I think King Harold is named
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- in there, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Not Matilda. No, she's later.- Yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Harold, I suppose. I don't know. I don't really know that one,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- but Scottish monarchs, I think would be a good one to go for.- Yes.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Was Duncan a Scottish king as well? - Yeah, yeah.- He was, wasn't he?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yeah, go for him, shall we?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- OK.- Yeah, Malcolm, Duncan and...
0:37:30 > 0:37:31And, um...
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- King Harold?- Yeah.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Ten seconds left.- Yeah.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Whether they're right or not is another matter.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Are you happy with your answers?- Yeah.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- As happy as we'll ever be.- OK.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Well, there we are.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Your time is now up.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49So, what answers are you going to go for, David and Anne?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- James I of Scotland.- James I.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54King Malcolm I of Scotland.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55King Malcolm I of Scotland.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58And the named people, we'll go for King Harold.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- King Harold in the Bayeux Tapestry. - Yeah.- OK.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Of those three, which is your best shot
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- at a pointless answer, do you think? BOTH:- Malcolm.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Malcolm I goes last.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Least likely to be pointless? - Harold.- Harold.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12King Harold, rex interfectus est.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Yes, OK, we'll put him first and then James in the middle.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order then.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20And here they are. We have got...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Three good answers up there on the board.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Now, if one of these answers turns out to be pointless,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33and you were to win that jackpot of £7,000 -
0:38:33 > 0:38:36a nice, big jackpot - what would you do with your share of it, David?
0:38:36 > 0:38:41We quite enjoy taking our family away for a long weekend
0:38:41 > 0:38:43or a week, so we'd probably do that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Very good. Anne?- I think I would give some to the grandchildren -
0:38:46 > 0:38:49got seven grandchildren - and probably a nice holiday.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Lovely. OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Fingers crossed. Your first answer was Harold.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56In this case, we were looking for named characters
0:38:56 > 0:38:57from the Bayeux Tapestry.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59It has to be right, then it has to be pointless,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01obviously, for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05For £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Harold.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It is right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Now, if Harold takes us all the way down to 0,
0:39:14 > 0:39:15which he could,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18you will leave here with £7,000.
0:39:18 > 0:39:1929 for Harold.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22APPLAUSE
0:39:22 > 0:39:24I guess he's one of the star players, isn't he,
0:39:24 > 0:39:25in the Bayeux Tapestry?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I'm afraid not a pointless answer there,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33We now move on to Scottish monarchs.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37James I was your next answer.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40We want to find out if James I is correct,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42then we want to find out if it is pointless.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45If nobody said James I, you will leave here with £7,000.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Is it right? How many people said it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50HE WHISPERS
0:39:51 > 0:39:52It's right.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57OK, well, Harold took us all the way down to 29.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59James I takes us down past 29.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Down it goes, into the teens.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Are we into single figures?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Ooh, not quite. 10 for James I.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07APPLAUSE
0:40:09 > 0:40:12You only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Everything is now riding on Malcolm I.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17This was the answer you thought was your best shot
0:40:17 > 0:40:19at a pointless answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23So, for £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Malcolm I. Is it pointless?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32No!
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- APPLAUSE - Never mind.- Never mind.- Ooh.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41I'm afraid that is incorrect, and it scores you 100 points.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43We'll discover why in a moment or two.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I'm sorry to say, two good answers there.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,000,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52which rolls over onto the next show.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It's been fabulous having you on the programme.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- You've done so well. - We've really enjoyed it.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You've got a Pointless trophy to take home.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Absolutely. It's what we came for. - There we are. Very well done.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03APPLAUSE
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'm glad you've enjoyed it cos we've enjoyed having you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Been absolutely terrific value,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10brilliant throughout and great fun as well.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Malcolm I was too early for our time.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Malcolm I was the century before. Four other Malcolms.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- All of those were pointless answers. - AUDIENCE:- Aw!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Second, third, fourth and fifth.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Also, you just have to look around you.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Alexander I, Alexander II, Alexander III -
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- all pointless answers.- Oh!
0:41:25 > 0:41:28And David I and David II are pointless answers as well.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- So, I tell you, no Anne or Richard, though.- Well, there you go.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Let's take a look at a few of the named people
0:41:38 > 0:41:39in the Bayeux Tapestry.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Archbishop Stigand. Bishop Odo, anyone?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Gyrth who was Harold's younger brother,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47and Robert as well was a pointless answer.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Also could have had Conan, Leofwine, St Peter the Apostle.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51All those pointless answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Malcolm the second, third and fourth - all pointless answers.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at the places named in the Magna Carta.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Glastonbury. Yeah, Rod Stewart was headlining that year.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- LAUGHTER - You could've had Dublin, Coventry,
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Bath. Also could have had Anjou, Aquitaine, Galloway, Normandy,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Pembroke and Warenne. All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Let's look at some more of these kings of Scotland.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17There's lots of them. Alexander I. As I say, second and third as well.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Donald Bane was a pointless answer.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You could've had John Balliol. You could've had Lulach.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You also mentioned Duncan in your 60 seconds.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Duncan I and Duncan II were pointless answers.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Edgar was a pointless answer. Kenneth III,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Robert II and William I, the Lion - all of those pointless answers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And that has to go down as very, very unlucky.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39There we go. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to David and Anne,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- but it's been wonderful having you on the show.- Thank you very much.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47APPLAUSE
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I'm sorry to say David and Anne didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:52 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £8,000.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
