APPLAUSE

0:00:150:00:19

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:210:00:24

and welcome to Pointless, the show where we're always striving

0:00:240:00:27

to find the most obscure answers.

0:00:270:00:29

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:290:00:31

APPLAUSE

0:00:310:00:34

And couple number one.

0:00:340:00:36

Hello, I'm Charmain, this is my sister Jane,

0:00:360:00:38

and we're from London.

0:00:380:00:39

Couple number two.

0:00:390:00:41

Hello, I'm Kate, this my youngest son Mark,

0:00:410:00:43

and we're from Essex.

0:00:430:00:44

Couple number three.

0:00:440:00:45

Hello, I'm David, this is my friend Anne,

0:00:450:00:47

and we're from Foxton in Cambridgeshire.

0:00:470:00:49

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:490:00:51

Hi, I'm Joel, this is my lovely wife Sian,

0:00:510:00:53

and we're from London.

0:00:530:00:54

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:540:00:55

APPLAUSE

0:00:550:00:57

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

0:00:570:01:00

We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:000:01:02

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:020:01:05

Headlining our factual festival...

0:01:050:01:07

Viewers are bound to take to Twitter to complain it's not Beyonce,

0:01:070:01:09

but he is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:090:01:12

-Hiya. Hi, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:120:01:16

-Good afternoon to you.

-Mm, good afternoon.

0:01:160:01:18

-That jackpot is bubbling away very nicely now, isn't it?

-Isn't it?

0:01:180:01:21

-Mm.

-Very nicely.

-Smelling nice, isn't it?

-It is.

0:01:210:01:24

We've got two returning pairs from last time.

0:01:240:01:26

Kate and Mark, who got through to the head-to-head,

0:01:260:01:28

so they'll be difficult to beat, I suspect.

0:01:280:01:31

-They were good.

-Very good.

0:01:310:01:32

On podium four, we've got Joel and Sian

0:01:320:01:34

who were knocked out in Round One, but quite a tough round.

0:01:340:01:36

-I suspect we might see more of them this time.

-Oh, I hope so.

0:01:360:01:39

And very, very glad.

0:01:390:01:41

We very rarely have rhyming contestants on the show.

0:01:410:01:43

We like it when we do.

0:01:430:01:44

We recently had Jill and Bill, which was a pleasure,

0:01:440:01:47

and now we've got Charmain and Jane, which is lovely.

0:01:470:01:49

-Always a pleasure to have rhyming contestants.

-Always a pleasure.

0:01:490:01:52

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:01:520:01:54

Well, Sally and Sally-Anne didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:01:540:01:56

so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:01:560:01:58

Wait till you see this. Today's jackpot starts off...

0:01:580:02:01

I can barely pronounce it.

0:02:010:02:02

£7,000.

0:02:020:02:04

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE There we are. It's a staggering sum.

0:02:040:02:07

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:070:02:10

APPLAUSE

0:02:100:02:13

All you have to remember is this, the cardinal rule of Pointless -

0:02:150:02:19

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

0:02:190:02:21

will be eliminated. That's it.

0:02:210:02:23

You just have to make sure you're not that pair.

0:02:230:02:25

Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:02:250:02:26

Our first category this afternoon is...

0:02:260:02:29

-Flags. It's that thing you forgot to revise, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:02:320:02:35

Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:350:02:38

who's going to go second?

0:02:380:02:39

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

0:02:390:02:42

OK, and our question concerns...

0:02:450:02:48

Flags that are the same upside down. Richard.

0:02:520:02:54

Imagine if I didn't give any more information.

0:02:540:02:57

We just left you to it. That'd be fun.

0:02:570:02:58

We're going to show you 15 flags now.

0:02:580:03:00

They all happen to be the same upside down

0:03:000:03:02

if you would take them through 180 degrees.

0:03:020:03:04

We need you to tell us the name of any country

0:03:040:03:06

represented by one of these flags, please.

0:03:060:03:08

There we are.

0:03:080:03:09

We are going to put up an image which shows

0:03:090:03:12

all these vertically symmetrical flags.

0:03:120:03:14

Here is the image.

0:03:140:03:16

OK. 15 flags there.

0:03:180:03:21

Jane, welcome to Pointless, I say, having put that up.

0:03:210:03:25

What do you do, Jane?

0:03:250:03:27

I'm a T-shirt designer. A children's T-shirt designer.

0:03:270:03:29

How long have you been doing that?

0:03:290:03:31

-Only a few months, because before that, I was a TEFL teacher.

-Right.

0:03:310:03:34

-I taught English to little children.

-Very good.

0:03:340:03:37

-And you decided... Had you been making T-shirts for fun?

-No.

0:03:370:03:41

-You just thought, "I'm just going to go into T-shirts."

-Basically, yes.

0:03:410:03:45

I just wanted to do something different,

0:03:450:03:47

and be a bit more creative and...

0:03:470:03:49

-And you design them yourself?

-Yes.

0:03:490:03:50

-Make them yourself?

-Yes, at the moment.

0:03:500:03:52

-And then sell them yourself?

-Exactly.

-Online?

-Yes.

0:03:520:03:56

-I'm starting out online, so...

-Very good.

0:03:560:03:58

-Well, it's a new company.

-Yeah.

-It's very exciting.

0:03:580:04:00

-It's not a company yet.

-Yeah.

0:04:000:04:01

-Well, OK, new business.

-Yes.

-There we are.

0:04:010:04:04

-Jane, flags. How are we feeling about flags generally?

-Erm...

0:04:040:04:07

I'm trying to decide whether to go safe

0:04:070:04:10

or just have a punt at one of them.

0:04:100:04:13

I'll go kind of safe-ish, yeah.

0:04:140:04:17

-A safe punt.

-Yeah.

0:04:170:04:20

And I will go for Trinidad and Tobago.

0:04:200:04:23

-Trinidad and Tobago, says Jane.

-Yeah.

0:04:230:04:25

Let's see if that's right.

0:04:250:04:26

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Trinidad and Tobago if it is.

0:04:260:04:29

It is right.

0:04:310:04:32

Look at that. Down it goes.

0:04:360:04:37

Very well done, Jane.

0:04:370:04:38

14. Great way to kick off the show. APPLAUSE

0:04:380:04:41

Great way to kick off the round. 14 for Trinidad and Tobago.

0:04:410:04:44

That's a great start. Very well played.

0:04:440:04:46

Yeah, tough on that first podium. They adopted that flag in 1962.

0:04:460:04:49

-Yes, from a flag home.

-From a flag home.

0:04:490:04:52

-They went into a flag home, and there were lots of flags that...

-Aw!

0:04:520:04:55

And that one was just sitting in a corner of its little room...

0:04:550:04:57

-Aw, it can be heartbreaking sometimes.

-..just whimpering.

0:04:570:05:00

-See some of them at half-mast.

-Yeah.

-Just... Aw.

0:05:000:05:02

And Trinidad turned to Tobago and said,

0:05:020:05:04

-"I think that one. Do you?"

-"I think that one."

0:05:040:05:06

-Yeah. And they took it home.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:05:060:05:09

-Now, Mark.

-Hello.

-Welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:05:090:05:12

-Now, remind us what you do, Mark.

-I'm a pub manager.

0:05:120:05:14

-See, that's a fun job.

-Yeah, it's all right.

0:05:140:05:16

Well, everyone says that's a fun job. Maybe it's not.

0:05:160:05:18

-It's very long hours.

-Very long hours.

-Yeah.

0:05:180:05:21

How many people do you have working behind your bar?

0:05:210:05:23

Varies, to be honest.

0:05:230:05:24

Sometimes, just me. Sometimes, up to eight or nine.

0:05:240:05:28

When not pubbing, what do you like to get up to?

0:05:280:05:30

I like to play football, I...I go skiing,

0:05:300:05:36

rock climbing in the summer,

0:05:360:05:38

listen to Lionel Richie, all sorts.

0:05:380:05:41

-That's...that was out of the blue.

-Very eclectic mix.

0:05:410:05:44

-Have you been a big Lionel Ritchie fan all your life?

-Yeah.

0:05:440:05:47

I actually changed my name - my middle name - for a joke.

0:05:470:05:51

Went from being Mark Stephen Roberts to Mark Stephen Lionel Roberts,

0:05:510:05:55

-and it stuck.

-Well, it's not so bad.

0:05:550:05:57

At least you didn't get rid of Stephen.

0:05:570:05:59

That would've been upsetting if you got rid of Stephen.

0:05:590:06:01

-Very true.

-Now, Mark, what are you going to go for?

0:06:010:06:04

Erm...

0:06:040:06:05

There's a lot of safe ones that I could go for.

0:06:060:06:09

I'm going to take a sort of... Not a guess.

0:06:090:06:14

I'm quite confident. I'm going to go with Malaysia.

0:06:140:06:16

Malaysia, says Mark. Malaysia. Let's see if it's right.

0:06:160:06:19

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

0:06:190:06:21

-Ooh.

-Oh, no.

0:06:250:06:27

Bad luck, Mark. I'm afraid no Malaysia up there.

0:06:270:06:29

-It scores you 100 points. I'm sorry.

-Yeah, sorry, Mark.

0:06:290:06:32

-No Malaysian flag on that board, I'm afraid.

-Not up there.

0:06:320:06:35

-David, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

0:06:350:06:38

-What do you do, David?

-I'm retired now.

0:06:380:06:40

I used to work for the University of Cambridge

0:06:400:06:42

as an examination administrator.

0:06:420:06:44

These are exams within the university or...?

0:06:440:06:47

No, they were a national English as a second language exam.

0:06:470:06:51

Right, I see, I see.

0:06:510:06:52

And what are you doing with your retirement now, David?

0:06:520:06:55

I do some voluntary work at Duxford War Museum.

0:06:550:06:58

Oh, wonderful.

0:06:580:06:59

I do some voluntary driving for people from the village

0:06:590:07:02

to doctors and stuff like that.

0:07:020:07:04

Play bowls quite a bit, and bridge, and a bit of quizzing.

0:07:040:07:08

Very good indeed.

0:07:080:07:09

-Nice to have you here for a bit of quizzing.

-Thank you.

0:07:090:07:12

I mean, to a quizzer, this is just...

0:07:120:07:14

This is just... THEY LAUGH

0:07:140:07:16

-That was a dangerous thing to say, wasn't it?

-..meat and drink.

0:07:160:07:19

What are you going to go for, David?

0:07:190:07:21

Going to play relatively safe, then, and say Israel.

0:07:210:07:24

Israel, says David.

0:07:240:07:25

OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Israel.

0:07:250:07:29

55.

0:07:350:07:36

-APPLAUSE

-That's OK.

-55 for Israel,

0:07:360:07:38

but it's a safe answer there.

0:07:380:07:40

Well played. Everyone can relax. As soon as someone's got 100,

0:07:400:07:43

it's slightly more relaxing, isn't it?

0:07:430:07:45

-You can go for those mid-answers.

-There we go.

0:07:450:07:48

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:480:07:49

-Now, Joel, welcome back.

-Hello.

0:07:490:07:51

Joel, we said goodbye to you far too early last time round.

0:07:510:07:54

Round One exit for you.

0:07:540:07:55

-Remind us what you do, Joel.

-I run my own business.

0:07:550:07:58

It's a recruitment consultancy.

0:07:580:07:59

A recruitment consultancy. That's right.

0:07:590:08:01

What do you get up to when you're not recruiting?

0:08:010:08:04

Looking after my 18-month-old daughter,

0:08:040:08:06

-who's a big fan of yours, by the way...

-Aw, lovely!

0:08:060:08:08

..in your narration of Duggee.

0:08:080:08:10

She absolutely loves that.

0:08:100:08:12

I think it's the first time anyone's mentioned Hey Duggee, actually.

0:08:120:08:15

I didn't want to bring it up. Oh, I love Hey Duggee.

0:08:150:08:17

-And doing a lot of travelling as well.

-Excellent. Lovely.

0:08:170:08:21

And travelling, of course, bleeds beautifully into this.

0:08:210:08:24

-Or does it?

-It does, but...I...

0:08:240:08:28

I could risk a lot, and there are two in particular,

0:08:280:08:33

one that's safer than the other,

0:08:330:08:36

and I'm just debating which one to go for.

0:08:360:08:39

But I'm going to go with the safer option,

0:08:390:08:43

which is Latvia.

0:08:430:08:45

Latvia, says Joel.

0:08:450:08:47

Sounds like he knows his stuff, Joel.

0:08:470:08:50

Well, let's see. Latvia, is it right?

0:08:500:08:51

How many of our 100 people said Latvia?

0:08:510:08:53

It is right.

0:08:560:08:57

Oh, it's a good answer, Joel.

0:09:010:09:02

Look at that. Down it goes to 8.

0:09:020:09:04

APPLAUSE

0:09:040:09:06

Best score of the round so far. 8 for Latvia.

0:09:060:09:09

Great answer, Joel. Very well played.

0:09:090:09:11

-It's said to originate from the 13th century.

-Interesting.

0:09:110:09:14

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

0:09:140:09:16

8, the best score of the pass. Well done, Joel.

0:09:160:09:18

Joel and Sian looking very strong,

0:09:180:09:20

as indeed are Jane and Charmain,

0:09:200:09:22

rhyming beautifully on that first podium.

0:09:220:09:24

Then up to 55, where we find David and Annie,

0:09:240:09:26

and then up to 100, Mark and Kate.

0:09:260:09:28

I'm so sorry. Our low scorers last game.

0:09:280:09:30

Here you are on 100.

0:09:300:09:32

Kate, I bet that's not the last 100.

0:09:320:09:34

-I bet there'll be more 100s.

-I wouldn't be surprised.

0:09:340:09:37

As long as the next one isn't from you - that's the thing -

0:09:370:09:39

we might see you in the next round. Fingers crossed.

0:09:390:09:42

We're going to come back down the line.

0:09:420:09:43

Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:09:430:09:45

Sian, welcome back, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sian.

0:09:480:09:52

I also run my own recruitment business,

0:09:520:09:54

-but in creative and advertising, so, different.

-I see.

0:09:540:09:57

You don't run them from home, your recruitment businesses, do you?

0:09:570:10:00

Most of the time, yeah. One upstairs and one downstairs.

0:10:000:10:03

And how good are you at keeping office hours at home?

0:10:030:10:07

-Hm.

-Well, Pointless is on at quarter past five,

0:10:070:10:10

-so that's when we finish, so...

-Yeah.

0:10:100:10:11

LAUGHTER Nicely said.

0:10:110:10:14

Genuinely, working from home, it can be extremely...

0:10:140:10:16

Particularly with an 18-month-old, that is...

0:10:160:10:18

-She's at nursery three days a week, so...

-Good stuff.

0:10:180:10:21

Now, Sian, flags.

0:10:210:10:23

How do you feel about flags generally?

0:10:230:10:26

Right. Well, there's a couple that I know.

0:10:260:10:28

One's more obvious than the other one I was going to pick,

0:10:280:10:32

so I'm going to go with the obvious one for me,

0:10:320:10:35

which is Japan.

0:10:350:10:36

Japan, says Sian.

0:10:360:10:38

Our high-scorers are Kate and Mark on 100.

0:10:380:10:40

You're on 8, so 91 or less gets you through.

0:10:400:10:42

Nice, safe target for you. There is your red line.

0:10:420:10:45

Get below that with Japan, you're into Round Two.

0:10:450:10:47

It's right, and you are through.

0:10:490:10:50

-Ooh, look at that. 82.

-Just.

0:10:500:10:52

APPLAUSE Not much room to spare there,

0:10:520:10:54

but it's good enough. Takes your total up to 90.

0:10:540:10:57

Safely through, it turns out, but it's a big score for Japan.

0:10:570:11:00

-Isn't it?

-It's very recognisable.

-They'll be very pleased with that.

0:11:000:11:03

It represents the sun, of course, because Japan, as you well know,

0:11:030:11:05

was founded by the sun goddess in the seventh century BC.

0:11:050:11:09

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:11:090:11:11

-Now, Annie.

-Hello.

-Welcome to Pointless.

0:11:110:11:14

-Lovely to have you here...

-Thank you.

-..from Foxton.

0:11:140:11:16

-Yes, indeed.

-Foxton in Cambridgeshire.

0:11:160:11:18

-Very nice village.

-Very nice.

-Beautiful.

-Very pretty.

-Yes.

0:11:180:11:21

-What do you do, Annie?

-I'm retired now,

0:11:210:11:23

but I was a business manager before for the local education council.

0:11:230:11:28

-Very good. And when did you retire from there?

-About five years ago.

0:11:280:11:31

And I'm busier now than I was when I was working.

0:11:310:11:34

-That's what everyone always says.

-Yes.

0:11:340:11:36

-But busier doing fun things?

-Pilates, keeping fit...

0:11:360:11:39

I've just realised I've been calling you Annie.

0:11:390:11:41

-I'm so sorry. Terribly familiar.

-My friends call me Annie.

0:11:410:11:44

-May we be your friends?

-You can be my friend any time, Xander.

-Lovely.

0:11:440:11:48

-That's a great... Thank you.

-And Richard. Sorry.

0:11:480:11:50

I think we might... Shall we start calling David Dave?

0:11:500:11:53

-No.

-No?

0:11:530:11:55

LAUGHTER

0:11:550:11:58

No, I think Davey, Davey won't like that.

0:11:580:12:00

-LAUGHTER

-He might not.

0:12:000:12:04

Anne, what would you like to go for?

0:12:040:12:05

The high-scorers are still Kate and Mark on 100.

0:12:050:12:07

44 is your target.

0:12:070:12:09

Right. There's two or three I kind of know, but I'm not sure.

0:12:090:12:14

But I'm going to go with the one I think is right...

0:12:140:12:18

-Jamaica.

-Jamaica, says Anne. Jamaica.

0:12:180:12:22

Here is your red line.

0:12:220:12:23

If you can get below that with Jamaica, you're into the next round.

0:12:230:12:26

How many people said Jamaica?

0:12:260:12:27

It's right.

0:12:290:12:30

I think that's pretty good.

0:12:330:12:35

APPLAUSE You needed 44, you got 43.

0:12:350:12:37

-SHE CHUCKLES

-Well done.

0:12:370:12:39

Accuracy is what it's all about. 98 is your total.

0:12:390:12:42

-Richard, Jamaica?

-No, she answered of her own accord.

0:12:420:12:45

LAUGHTER

0:12:450:12:47

Thanks very much.

0:12:490:12:50

-Kate, you are currently the high-scorers.

-Mm.

0:12:500:12:52

I'm so sorry.

0:12:520:12:54

-I'm so sorry about Malaysia not being up there and all.

-So am I.

0:12:540:12:57

Welcome back, though. Lovely to have you here.

0:12:570:12:59

Remind us what you do, Kate.

0:12:590:13:01

I work part-time for a local newspaper

0:13:010:13:03

and part-time freelance writing.

0:13:030:13:05

-The Romford...?

-Recorder.

-Recorder. Fabulous.

0:13:050:13:08

-You work in the advertising department?

-Yes.

0:13:080:13:11

Well, that's what keeps the whole thing afloat.

0:13:110:13:13

That's right. It's probably the most important thing.

0:13:130:13:15

-Absolutely.

-Pays the wages.

0:13:150:13:17

But, actually, a number of local papers are in trouble, I think.

0:13:170:13:20

-They are.

-Is the Romford Recorder OK?

-Yes.

0:13:200:13:22

-Everything ticking over nicely?

-Yeah.

-Thank goodness.

0:13:220:13:25

-Still very well read.

-Yes, good.

0:13:250:13:27

As, indeed, are all your customers.

0:13:270:13:30

Now, Kate, you are our high-scorers.

0:13:300:13:34

There's a world in which Charmain could get an incorrect answer.

0:13:340:13:38

And I'm looking at her now -

0:13:380:13:39

it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

0:13:390:13:41

But we just have to provision against

0:13:410:13:42

that eventuality just in case.

0:13:420:13:44

So, if you could score 13 or less,

0:13:440:13:47

you would then be in a position to take advantage of that fact.

0:13:470:13:50

-Well, this is probably the worst round I could imagine.

-Oh, no.

0:13:500:13:53

I'm going to go for an old Pointless favourite

0:13:530:13:55

and hope Central African Republic's up there.

0:13:550:13:58

-LAUGHTER

-At least I've said it.

0:13:580:14:00

That's a nice way of doing it. Central African Republic, says Kate.

0:14:000:14:03

No red line for you obviously. You're the high-scorers.

0:14:030:14:05

Let's see how many people said Central African Republic.

0:14:050:14:07

Is it right?

0:14:070:14:08

-Aw.

-Aw.

-Kate, I'm sorry.

0:14:120:14:13

-If in doubt.

-I am sorry.

0:14:130:14:15

Listen, out in a blaze of glory is what that's called.

0:14:150:14:18

Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.

0:14:180:14:21

Yeah, sorry, Kate. The Central African Republic flag

0:14:210:14:23

is just a big picture of Xander with his thumbs up.

0:14:230:14:25

Oh, fair enough.

0:14:250:14:26

-There we are. Now, Charmain, welcome.

-Hello.

0:14:280:14:32

Great to have you here. From London. What do you do, Charmain?

0:14:320:14:34

I'm a music administrator for Wandsworth Music Service.

0:14:340:14:38

They administer music services throughout the borough.

0:14:380:14:42

That's fun, isn't it?

0:14:420:14:43

-That sounds like a nice thing to do.

-It's a lovely job.

0:14:430:14:46

And administering music,

0:14:460:14:47

-does that mean you do some sort of teaching?

-I don't do teaching,

0:14:470:14:50

but I help organise the teachers

0:14:500:14:52

who do go out into the schools and teach.

0:14:520:14:54

-You provide the resources, I suppose.

-That's right.

0:14:540:14:56

So, you've got lots of instruments, lots of chime bars,

0:14:560:14:59

maybe some recorders. I don't know.

0:14:590:15:01

Lots of recorders, some saxophones, violins, cellos.

0:15:010:15:04

-Are you a musician yourself?

-I am a singer,

0:15:040:15:07

and I dabble in instruments every now and then.

0:15:070:15:11

Which sort of instruments do you dabble in?

0:15:110:15:14

I did play cello when I was much, much younger.

0:15:140:15:17

-I've played a bit of piano, a bit of guitar.

-Very good.

0:15:170:15:21

Now, listen, you're on 14.

0:15:210:15:22

The nice thing is it doesn't matter what you score,

0:15:220:15:25

you're still into the next round.

0:15:250:15:26

But why not have a punt at another of those flags?

0:15:260:15:29

All the ones I knew have gone.

0:15:300:15:32

I did think Switzerland was down there in the corner,

0:15:320:15:35

but I'm just not sure about that one either.

0:15:350:15:37

Possibly Poland up in the corner as well.

0:15:370:15:40

-But I think I'll go for Switzerland.

-Switzerland, says Charmain.

0:15:400:15:43

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

0:15:430:15:45

No red line. You're already through.

0:15:450:15:47

It's right.

0:15:490:15:51

That was Switzerland in the corner.

0:15:510:15:53

59 is what it scores you, taking your total up to 73.

0:15:530:15:56

-APPLAUSE

-Well played, Charmain.

0:15:560:15:59

Safely through there.

0:15:590:16:00

Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?

0:16:000:16:02

It's the Union Jack there. What do you think that scored?

0:16:020:16:04

-United Kingdom is the answer.

-Erm...United Kingdom?

0:16:040:16:08

I suppose some people might have gone for Great Britain

0:16:080:16:10

instead of the UK, so maybe not as high as you'd hope.

0:16:100:16:13

-91.

-Yeah, you're way ahead of me. 84. 84.

0:16:130:16:16

But, no, United Kingdom, the answer there.

0:16:160:16:18

Then we've got Trinidad and Tobago next to that.

0:16:180:16:20

We've got Micronesia. An old Pointless favourite.

0:16:200:16:23

Would've scored you 4 points. Terrific answer.

0:16:230:16:25

Then, it's not Poland. It's very similar to Poland.

0:16:250:16:27

It's Austria in the top right. That would've scored you 12.

0:16:270:16:31

Second row, we've got Nigeria. Would've scored you 18.

0:16:310:16:34

Right in the middle there, we've got Georgia.

0:16:340:16:36

That would've scored you 12.

0:16:360:16:38

Then Thailand. Would've scored you 4.

0:16:380:16:41

Next to that, you've got Macedonia, which would've scored you 7.

0:16:410:16:44

-That's a cool flag, isn't it?

-That is how to do a flag.

0:16:440:16:47

Bottom row there, next to Latvia, we've got Botswana,

0:16:470:16:49

which would've scored you 4.

0:16:490:16:50

The best answer on the board that we haven't had,

0:16:500:16:53

on the bottom row there is Laos.

0:16:530:16:54

Lao, some people call it, but I've always been told it's Laos.

0:16:540:16:57

-1 point for that.

-1 point.

0:16:570:16:59

Un point for Laos.

0:16:590:17:01

OK, well, thank you very much. We're at the end of our first round,

0:17:010:17:04

-and very sadly...

-Mark just told me he knew Macedonia.

0:17:040:17:07

-SHE LAUGHS

-Yeah.

0:17:070:17:09

-Oh, Mark.

-I thought that's what I said,

0:17:090:17:12

-but obviously...

-Do you know what? You did say it,

0:17:120:17:14

but it just came out sounding very like Malaysia.

0:17:140:17:16

LAUGHTER

0:17:160:17:19

Fair enough. Kate and Mark, lovely having you on the show.

0:17:190:17:21

I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now

0:17:210:17:23

after your brilliant performance last time. We were expecting more.

0:17:230:17:26

-Thank you for playing. Kate and Mark.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:17:260:17:29

APPLAUSE

0:17:290:17:31

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

0:17:310:17:34

APPLAUSE

0:17:340:17:39

Well done, everyone. We've seen off one of our returning pairs.

0:17:390:17:42

Not bad going. And welcome to Round Two.

0:17:420:17:45

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:17:450:17:46

Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:17:460:17:49

TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:17:510:17:53

who's going to go second?

0:17:530:17:55

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

0:17:550:17:57

OK, and the question concerns...

0:18:000:18:02

Women In British Sitcoms. Richard.

0:18:050:18:07

Xander's going to show you the names of six British sitcoms.

0:18:070:18:10

We need the name of any female actor

0:18:100:18:11

who's appeared in two or more episodes

0:18:110:18:14

of any of these, please, up till May 2015.

0:18:140:18:16

So, any female actor who's appeared in two or more episodes

0:18:160:18:19

of any of the following sitcoms.

0:18:190:18:20

OK, we're going to put a list of sitcoms up

0:18:200:18:23

on the board as Richard just mentioned.

0:18:230:18:24

They will stay on the board, much like the flags did last time.

0:18:240:18:27

Here are the sitcoms.

0:18:270:18:29

I'll read those one last time.

0:18:350:18:37

We are wanting the name of any woman

0:18:400:18:42

who has appeared in two

0:18:420:18:43

or more episodes

0:18:430:18:44

of any of these six sitcoms.

0:18:440:18:46

Charmain.

0:18:460:18:48

Oh, this is not a good one for me cos I don't watch any of them.

0:18:480:18:53

But I'm going to go for one that's pretty obvious

0:18:530:18:56

and that would be Dawn French.

0:18:560:18:58

Dawn French, says Charmain. Dawn French.

0:18:580:19:01

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

0:19:010:19:03

51. APPLAUSE

0:19:100:19:13

51 for Dawn French.

0:19:140:19:15

Yeah, plays Geraldine Granger, of course, in Vicar Of Dibley.

0:19:150:19:18

-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Anne. Annie.

-Yes.

0:19:180:19:21

Annie, what would you like to go for?

0:19:220:19:25

As it was one of my favourite shows

0:19:250:19:27

when it was on...

0:19:270:19:28

It repeats now,

0:19:280:19:29

but it was on quite a while ago,

0:19:290:19:30

..I'm going to go for Gavin & Stacey and I'm going to say Sheridan Smith.

0:19:300:19:34

Sheridan Smith, says Anne.

0:19:340:19:35

Let's see how many of our 100 people remembered

0:19:350:19:37

Sheridan Smith from Gavin & Stacey.

0:19:370:19:39

It's right.

0:19:420:19:43

Well, 51's our high score at this point.

0:19:430:19:45

You whizz past that.

0:19:450:19:47

That's a good score.

0:19:470:19:49

3, Anne.

0:19:490:19:50

APPLAUSE Very well done indeed. 3 for

0:19:500:19:53

Sheridan Smith.

0:19:530:19:54

That's a great answer, Anne/Annie. Very well played.

0:19:560:19:58

Yes, she played Smithy's sister, of course, Rudi.

0:19:580:20:01

Excellent. Now, Sian.

0:20:010:20:03

Um, I know quite a few of them, but my mind's gone blank,

0:20:040:20:08

which is really annoying.

0:20:080:20:10

So, I think I'm going to go for

0:20:100:20:12

Fawlty Towers and Prunella Scales.

0:20:120:20:15

Prunella Scales, says Sian.

0:20:150:20:16

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

0:20:160:20:19

51's the highest score, which you pass.

0:20:230:20:26

3 is our low.

0:20:260:20:27

You don't quite get to 3,

0:20:270:20:29

but that's pretty good. 17. APPLAUSE

0:20:290:20:31

Not bad.

0:20:310:20:32

Not bad at all. Richard.

0:20:320:20:34

Yeah, plays, of course, Cybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. 12 episodes.

0:20:340:20:37

-Just the 12.

-Just the 12.

-There we are. Thanks.

0:20:370:20:39

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

0:20:390:20:42

3, Annie, well done.

0:20:420:20:43

Annie and David looking very strong there on 3.

0:20:430:20:46

Then up to 17, where we find Sian and Joel.

0:20:460:20:48

Then up to 51, Charmain and Jane.

0:20:480:20:50

Jane, as long as we have a nice, low score from you,

0:20:500:20:53

you are in with a chance.

0:20:530:20:54

Do you watch any more telly than your sister?

0:20:540:20:56

Well, a few of those, but...my mind's gone blank, so...

0:20:560:20:59

Just keep thinking. Let's hope, by the time we get to you,

0:20:590:21:01

you'll have a lovely, low-scoring answer

0:21:010:21:03

that'll keep you in the game. We're coming back down the line.

0:21:030:21:06

Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:21:060:21:08

Joel.

0:21:110:21:12

We're looking for any female actor from any of these sitcoms.

0:21:130:21:17

Well, considering it's one of my favourite shows,

0:21:170:21:20

I'll go for Peep Show

0:21:200:21:22

and say Olivia Coleman.

0:21:220:21:23

Olivia Colman. Lovely Olivia Colman.

0:21:230:21:26

You're on 17. The high-scorers are Jane and Charmain, 51.

0:21:260:21:29

That's your red line. Get below that,

0:21:290:21:30

you're into the next round. Olivia Colman.

0:21:300:21:32

Very well done, Joel.

0:21:390:21:41

Look at that. 3.

0:21:410:21:43

APPLAUSE Very strong play

0:21:430:21:46

on that far podium there, taking your total up to 20.

0:21:460:21:48

Well played, Joel.

0:21:480:21:49

Yeah, 32 episodes Peep Show, she's been in at time of recording.

0:21:490:21:52

-Might they do more?

-They are doing more, yeah.

-Are they really?

-Yeah.

0:21:520:21:56

That's great news. David.

0:21:560:21:58

Yes. Um...

0:21:580:22:00

If you can score 47 or less,

0:22:000:22:01

you're into the head-to-head.

0:22:010:22:03

The only one I'm reasonably happy

0:22:030:22:05

with, I think may be a high-scorer.

0:22:050:22:06

I'll say Connie Booth

0:22:060:22:08

from Fawlty Towers.

0:22:080:22:09

Connie Booth. There's your red line.

0:22:090:22:11

Let's see if that's right. How many people said Connie Booth?

0:22:110:22:14

It's right.

0:22:170:22:19

Very well done. Good enough.

0:22:190:22:22

Actually, very good. Look at that. 11.

0:22:220:22:24

APPLAUSE 11, taking your total up to 14.

0:22:240:22:27

-The lowest total of the round.

-Yeah, another good answer.

0:22:270:22:30

She, of course, wrote the show with John Cleese as well, Connie Booth.

0:22:300:22:33

Exactly.

0:22:330:22:34

Now, Jane, I'm sorry to say, you are the high-scorers,

0:22:340:22:37

even before you've given your answer,

0:22:370:22:40

but what have you got for us?

0:22:400:22:43

I was going to go

0:22:430:22:44

with Wendy Richard,

0:22:440:22:45

but now I'm going with Leslie Ash

0:22:450:22:47

since it doesn't really matter.

0:22:470:22:48

And perhaps she was funny...in one of those. So, Leslie Ash.

0:22:480:22:52

OK, Leslie Ash. HE CHUCKLES

0:22:520:22:54

Let's see. No red line. You're the high-scorers.

0:22:540:22:57

But how many people said Leslie Ash? Is it right?

0:22:570:22:59

No. Bad luck. Bad luck.

0:23:020:23:03

You were the high-scorers anyway, so there we are.

0:23:030:23:06

-151 is your total in the end.

-Yeah, sorry, Jane.

0:23:060:23:08

No Leslie Ash. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers

0:23:080:23:11

from the different categories.

0:23:110:23:14

Cheryl Campbell is in Peep Show, two episodes of Peep Show.

0:23:140:23:16

Edna Dore is in Gavin & Stacey. She plays Edna.

0:23:160:23:19

Gilly Flower and Renee Roberts are the two elderly ladies,

0:23:190:23:21

the permanent residents of Fawlty Towers.

0:23:210:23:23

They're both pointless answers.

0:23:230:23:25

Julia Davis was in seven episodes of Gavin & Stacey.

0:23:250:23:28

Julie Fernandez was in The Office. Played Brenda.

0:23:280:23:31

Melanie Walters, also Gavin & Stacey.

0:23:310:23:33

She played Gwen. That's a very good answer.

0:23:330:23:35

Pam Ferris was in two episodes of Gavin & Stacey as well.

0:23:350:23:38

Patricia Kane from Vicar Of Dibley.

0:23:380:23:40

And from Dinnerladies, Sue Cleaver.

0:23:400:23:42

Very well done if you said any of those.

0:23:420:23:44

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

0:23:440:23:46

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:23:460:23:48

Julie Walters, 28, from Dinnerladies.

0:23:490:23:52

Victoria Wood, also Dinnerladies, 49.

0:23:520:23:54

And we've seen the top answer, Dawn French, 51.

0:23:540:23:56

-Did you have a good answer for any of those?

-Anne Reid.

0:23:560:23:59

-Anne Reid from Dinnerladies, of course.

-Yeah.

0:23:590:24:01

7 points for Anne Reid.

0:24:010:24:02

Maxine Peake, I thought. She was 10 points for Dinnerladies.

0:24:020:24:05

Very good. Thanks very much.

0:24:050:24:07

At the end of our second round, the pair we're sending home

0:24:070:24:09

with a high score of 151 is Jane and Charmain.

0:24:090:24:11

I'm sorry to be sending you home so soon,

0:24:110:24:13

but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much.

0:24:130:24:16

Thanks very much, Jane and Charmain. APPLAUSE

0:24:160:24:19

But for Joel and Sian, and David and Anne,

0:24:210:24:23

it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:24:230:24:25

APPLAUSE

0:24:250:24:30

Congratulations, Joel and Sian, David and Anne.

0:24:300:24:32

You are now one step closer to the final

0:24:320:24:34

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:24:340:24:36

which currently stands at...

0:24:360:24:38

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:24:390:24:42

Well, someone's going to have to win it sooner or later

0:24:420:24:45

and this is the bit where we decide who's going to play for it.

0:24:450:24:48

You know what happens - you play as teams from here on in.

0:24:480:24:51

First pair to win two questions will be going through to that final.

0:24:510:24:54

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:24:540:24:56

APPLAUSE

0:24:560:25:00

Here's your first question and it's all about...

0:25:020:25:05

THEY CHUCKLE It's all about penguins. Richard.

0:25:060:25:09

Yeah, well, you remember a few weeks ago,

0:25:090:25:10

we did a round all about Twixes, so, today, I thought we would...

0:25:100:25:14

No, we're going to give you five clues now to facts about penguins.

0:25:140:25:17

Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:25:170:25:19

OK, so, let's reveal our five facts about penguins. And here they are.

0:25:190:25:23

The penguin facts line up like this...

0:25:230:25:25

I'll read those all one last time.

0:25:420:25:44

Now, Joel and Sian, you are our low-scorers,

0:26:000:26:02

so you will go first. Feel free to confer.

0:26:020:26:05

THEY WHISPER

0:26:060:26:08

I'll go for the top one,

0:26:150:26:16

and it's Danny DeVito.

0:26:160:26:18

Danny DeVito played The Penguin in Batman Returns. Danny DeVito.

0:26:180:26:23

Now, David and Anne.

0:26:230:26:25

Do you want to go through it?

0:26:270:26:28

-Uh, no.

-LAUGHTER

0:26:280:26:31

No, I don't think we dare.

0:26:310:26:33

We think we'll settle for

0:26:330:26:35

the fourth one down, which we think

0:26:350:26:37

-is the emperor penguin.

-The emperor penguin.

0:26:370:26:40

So, we have Danny DeVito and we have the emperor penguin.

0:26:400:26:43

Joel and Sian said Danny DeVito

0:26:430:26:45

played The Penguin in Batman Returns.

0:26:450:26:47

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

0:26:470:26:49

It is right.

0:26:510:26:52

32.

0:26:560:26:57

APPLAUSE

0:26:570:27:00

32 for Danny DeVito.

0:27:000:27:01

Meanwhile, David and Annie have said the emperor penguin is

0:27:010:27:04

the tallest living species. Let's see if that's right.

0:27:040:27:07

Let's see how many people said the emperor.

0:27:070:27:09

-It's wrong.

-It's right.

0:27:100:27:12

Ooh, 68, though.

0:27:130:27:14

It's a high score. APPLAUSE

0:27:140:27:17

Very well done, Joel and Sian.

0:27:170:27:18

After one question, you are up one-nil.

0:27:180:27:21

-Yeah, emperor penguin, they can grow up to 9ft tall.

-No!

0:27:210:27:24

-No, not really.

-LAUGHTER

0:27:240:27:26

I was going to say, that's almost up to you.

0:27:260:27:28

Can you imagine? A 9ft-tall penguin?

0:27:280:27:30

-A 9ft-tall penguin.

-I'd be...

0:27:300:27:31

I tell you what, I'd be calling that emperor, as well. I would be.

0:27:310:27:35

Let's take a look at the rest of these.

0:27:350:27:37

The name of the most northerly species.

0:27:370:27:39

Of course, they're southern, they're from the Antarctic, penguins,

0:27:390:27:42

but there are Galapagos penguins.

0:27:420:27:44

1 point for that. And they're 21 inches high, on average.

0:27:460:27:49

-Aw.

-That's quite sweet, isn't it?

0:27:490:27:50

-That is quite sweet.

-A Galapagos penguin.

0:27:500:27:53

Now, the actor who stars as the title character

0:27:530:27:55

in the film is Jim Carrey.

0:27:550:27:58

It's actually a rather good film, Mr Popper's Penguins. 23 points.

0:27:580:28:02

And if you had to have a guess on the decade.

0:28:020:28:05

'50s.

0:28:050:28:06

-'30s.

-'30s.

-1930s.

0:28:060:28:08

1935, the first ten came out.

0:28:080:28:10

And that would've scored you 9 points.

0:28:100:28:12

So, the best answer there is Galapagos penguin.

0:28:120:28:14

Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if we had one coming on now?

0:28:140:28:17

9ft. On it comes, bursting through the screen.

0:28:170:28:20

HE IMITATES EXPLOSION

0:28:200:28:22

Just going, "Is anybody else hot? I'm so hot."

0:28:220:28:25

-"I'm so hot."

-We'd have to keep covering him in make-up.

0:28:250:28:28

LAUGHTER

0:28:280:28:32

Anyway, here comes our second question.

0:28:320:28:34

Now, David and Anne, you get to answer it first,

0:28:340:28:36

but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:28:360:28:38

It concerns...

0:28:380:28:40

Oh, no.

0:28:420:28:43

UK Number One Singles. Richard.

0:28:430:28:46

Yeah, this is the sort of round that you like

0:28:460:28:48

cos we're going to show five visual clues now

0:28:480:28:50

to the titles of UK number one singles.

0:28:500:28:52

Can you work out which singles we are referring to?

0:28:520:28:55

OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they are.

0:28:550:28:58

We've got...

0:28:580:28:59

OK...there we are.

0:29:240:29:27

Now, David and Annie, you can go first.

0:29:270:29:30

-Would you go for C?

-Well...

0:29:310:29:33

-What do you think?

-..I know...

0:29:330:29:35

We think we know three of them.

0:29:350:29:37

We THINK we know.

0:29:370:29:39

But we're going to go, I think,

0:29:410:29:43

-for C.

-Yeah.

-Running Bear.

0:29:430:29:46

Running Bear. Running Bear.

0:29:470:29:50

OK, David and Anne are saying Running Bear.

0:29:500:29:53

Now, Joel and Sian,

0:29:530:29:54

that board is all yours.

0:29:540:29:56

Do you want to talk us through it?

0:29:560:29:57

You go through it?

0:29:570:29:59

I think A is Ring My Bell.

0:29:590:30:01

Message In A Bottle.

0:30:020:30:04

The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

0:30:040:30:06

And the last one, I can't think.

0:30:060:30:10

Um...

0:30:100:30:12

So, I think I'm going to go with A and Ring My Bell.

0:30:120:30:15

Ring My Bell.

0:30:150:30:16

So, we have Running Bear and we have Ring My Bell.

0:30:160:30:19

David and Anne said Running Bear for C.

0:30:190:30:21

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

0:30:210:30:23

11.

0:30:330:30:34

APPLAUSE

0:30:340:30:36

11 for Running Bear.

0:30:380:30:39

Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Ring My Bell for A.

0:30:390:30:42

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

0:30:420:30:44

37. APPLAUSE

0:30:520:30:54

Well done, David and Anne. Back in the game.

0:30:540:30:56

-After two questions, it's one-all.

-Very well played.

0:30:560:30:58

We should dedicate this show to the photographer

0:30:580:31:01

who took that photograph

0:31:010:31:02

-of the running bear.

-Yes.

0:31:020:31:04

Can you imagine that?

0:31:040:31:05

I hope he had a very long lens.

0:31:050:31:06

-I hope so.

-That's quite scary.

0:31:060:31:08

When you said Running Bear,

0:31:080:31:09

I was thinking, you were spelling it B-A-R-E.

0:31:090:31:11

-LAUGHTER

-You could do, could do.

0:31:110:31:14

I thought that was a more nudist single, but there we are.

0:31:140:31:16

Very different song, isn't it?

0:31:160:31:18

Now B. Such a cryptic photograph, that(!)

0:31:180:31:20

-Yeah, Message In A Bottle.

-Yeah.

-Of course it is.

0:31:200:31:22

That would've scored you 85 points, perhaps unsurprisingly.

0:31:220:31:26

D is Tight Fit, of course,

0:31:260:31:27

The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Aw.

0:31:270:31:28

That's a long lens as well, isn't it?

0:31:280:31:30

45 points. I don't know cos he's asleep.

0:31:300:31:32

Still, you wouldn't catch me going that close.

0:31:320:31:35

No. I hope not.

0:31:350:31:36

And E, the one you didn't know, is Goodbye.

0:31:360:31:40

Goodbye is the answer.

0:31:400:31:41

That would've scored you 21. Well done if you said that.

0:31:410:31:43

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:430:31:45

OK, it all comes down to a third and final question. The decider.

0:31:450:31:48

Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:31:480:31:50

and plays for that colossal jackpot.

0:31:500:31:52

Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:31:520:31:54

There we go. Richard.

0:32:000:32:01

-Should we just go back to penguins?

-LAUGHTER

0:32:010:32:04

Going to show you the names of five famous battles

0:32:040:32:06

that took place during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars,

0:32:060:32:09

but we've missed out alternate letters from each one.

0:32:090:32:12

Can you fill in those gaps?

0:32:120:32:13

Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through

0:32:130:32:15

-to play for the jackpot.

-Thanks very much.

0:32:150:32:17

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

0:32:170:32:20

We've got...

0:32:220:32:23

I'll read those all one last time.

0:32:350:32:36

Now then, Joel and Sian, you'll go first this time.

0:32:490:32:52

I'm amazed we actually

0:32:520:32:54

know some of them.

0:32:540:32:55

But we're going to go for

0:32:570:33:00

the bottom one

0:33:000:33:01

and say Leipzig.

0:33:010:33:03

Leipzig, say Joel and Sian. Leipzig.

0:33:030:33:05

Now then, David and Anne,

0:33:050:33:07

do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?

0:33:070:33:10

The top one is Waterloo.

0:33:100:33:12

The second one is The Nile.

0:33:120:33:14

The 1805 is Trafalgar.

0:33:140:33:16

But we'll go for the middle one,

0:33:160:33:17

-which is Marengo.

-Marengo.

0:33:170:33:20

Marengo, say David and Annie.

0:33:200:33:22

Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Leipzig.

0:33:220:33:24

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

0:33:240:33:27

It's right.

0:33:290:33:31

Leipzig scores 39.

0:33:340:33:36

APPLAUSE

0:33:360:33:38

David and Anne have gone for Marengo.

0:33:400:33:42

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

0:33:420:33:44

It's right.

0:33:470:33:48

Very well done. Wins you the point.

0:33:510:33:53

And 8, as well, it scores.

0:33:530:33:55

APPLAUSE What it means, more importantly,

0:33:550:33:57

David and Anne, is that after three questions,

0:33:570:33:59

you're through to the final two-one.

0:33:590:34:01

Great head-to-head, and for the second question,

0:34:010:34:03

you got the best possible answer as well.

0:34:030:34:05

Very well played. Can't argue with that.

0:34:050:34:07

Waterloo, up the top, is a big scorer, unsurprisingly.

0:34:070:34:10

That would have scored you 72.

0:34:100:34:12

The Nile, actually quite a low-scorer.

0:34:120:34:14

The Nile would have scored you 11.

0:34:140:34:16

And Trafalgar, that would have scored you 49.

0:34:160:34:21

There we are. Thank you very much.

0:34:210:34:23

The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...

0:34:230:34:25

We've had a bit of a run of this, of our low-scoring, golden pairs

0:34:250:34:28

actually being knocked out in the head-to-head.

0:34:280:34:31

I'm afraid to say, Joel and Sian, that is your fate.

0:34:310:34:33

It's been wonderful having you on both shows.

0:34:330:34:35

Really strong performance across the show today,

0:34:350:34:38

but this, I fear, is the end of the line.

0:34:380:34:39

Thank you so much for playing.

0:34:390:34:41

Joel and Sian. Wonderful contestants.

0:34:410:34:43

APPLAUSE

0:34:430:34:45

But for David and Anne, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:450:34:48

APPLAUSE

0:34:480:34:51

Well, I mean, for heaven's sake, David and Anne,

0:34:530:34:56

you've seen off all the competition

0:34:560:34:58

and you have each won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:580:35:01

You also have a chance now to play for that jackpot.

0:35:070:35:09

I mean, it's a colossal jackpot.

0:35:090:35:11

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £7,000.

0:35:110:35:14

APPLAUSE

0:35:140:35:17

It's been a while since we've had a jackpot that big, I have to say.

0:35:190:35:23

Let's take a look and see what's on the board today.

0:35:230:35:26

Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.

0:35:260:35:28

You know what it's like. They're a bit forbidding to start with,

0:35:280:35:31

but behind them, there's usually something.

0:35:310:35:34

-What do you think?

-What do you like?

-Well...

0:35:400:35:42

-You like medieval history.

-Dave is good at sport.

0:35:420:35:44

-Police could be anything, really.

-Yes.

0:35:440:35:47

Shall we go for Medieval History?

0:35:470:35:49

-Yes, why not?

-Let's go for Medieval History.

0:35:490:35:52

Medieval History it is.

0:35:520:35:53

OK, very best of luck. I hope one of these suits you.

0:35:530:35:56

I know some people at home will love it,

0:35:560:35:58

some people at home will hate it, but let's see how you find it.

0:35:580:36:00

We're looking for any name, any individual whose name appears

0:36:000:36:04

sewn into one of the captions or inscriptions

0:36:040:36:06

on the Bayeux Tapestry, please.

0:36:060:36:08

Their name in English, rather than in the Latin.

0:36:080:36:10

We are looking for any place names in the preamble

0:36:100:36:14

to the 1215 Magna Carta.

0:36:140:36:15

So, any place names mentioned in that preamble.

0:36:150:36:18

Or any Scottish monarch

0:36:180:36:19

1000 AD to 1500 AD, please.

0:36:190:36:21

The English versions of any people

0:36:210:36:23

named in the Bayeux Tapestry,

0:36:230:36:24

place names in the 1215 Magna Carta

0:36:240:36:27

or any Scottish monarchs,

0:36:270:36:29

1000 AD to 1500 AD.

0:36:290:36:30

Very best of luck.

0:36:300:36:31

OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up

0:36:310:36:34

with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for just one

0:36:340:36:37

-of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH:

-Yeah.

0:36:370:36:40

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:400:36:42

There they are.

0:36:420:36:43

Your time starts now.

0:36:430:36:44

-Thank you.

-Scottish monarchs.

0:36:440:36:47

-James VI was...

-Malcolm.

-Yes.

0:36:470:36:50

James VI, did you say?

0:36:500:36:52

-Well, James VI was...

-James VI.

-There must be ones before him

0:36:520:36:55

cos he was in...

0:36:550:36:56

-He was later, though, wasn't he?

-He was Tudor, but there must be...

0:36:560:37:00

-James II has got to be...

-Yeah, maybe.

0:37:000:37:02

-But Malcolm, certainly, I think.

-Malcolm, certainly, yes.

0:37:020:37:05

-Place names in the Magna Carta.

-I've got no idea.

0:37:050:37:07

-Runnymede.

-Runnymede.

0:37:070:37:09

Named people in the Bayeux Tapestry.

0:37:090:37:11

I think King Harold is named

0:37:110:37:12

-in there, isn't he?

-Yeah.

0:37:120:37:14

-Not Matilda. No, she's later.

-Yeah.

0:37:140:37:16

Harold, I suppose. I don't know. I don't really know that one,

0:37:160:37:19

-but Scottish monarchs, I think would be a good one to go for.

-Yes.

0:37:190:37:22

-Was Duncan a Scottish king as well?

-Yeah, yeah.

-He was, wasn't he?

0:37:220:37:25

Yeah, go for him, shall we?

0:37:250:37:27

-OK.

-Yeah, Malcolm, Duncan and...

0:37:270:37:30

And, um...

0:37:300:37:31

-King Harold?

-Yeah.

0:37:330:37:35

-Ten seconds left.

-Yeah.

0:37:350:37:37

Whether they're right or not is another matter.

0:37:370:37:39

-Are you happy with your answers?

-Yeah.

0:37:390:37:41

-As happy as we'll ever be.

-OK.

0:37:410:37:44

Well, there we are.

0:37:440:37:45

Your time is now up.

0:37:450:37:46

So, what answers are you going to go for, David and Anne?

0:37:460:37:49

-James I of Scotland.

-James I.

0:37:490:37:51

King Malcolm I of Scotland.

0:37:510:37:54

King Malcolm I of Scotland.

0:37:540:37:55

And the named people, we'll go for King Harold.

0:37:550:37:58

-King Harold in the Bayeux Tapestry.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:37:580:38:01

Of those three, which is your best shot

0:38:010:38:03

-at a pointless answer, do you think? BOTH:

-Malcolm.

0:38:030:38:05

Malcolm I goes last.

0:38:050:38:07

-Least likely to be pointless?

-Harold.

-Harold.

0:38:070:38:10

King Harold, rex interfectus est.

0:38:100:38:12

Yes, OK, we'll put him first and then James in the middle.

0:38:120:38:15

OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order then.

0:38:150:38:18

And here they are. We have got...

0:38:180:38:20

Well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:230:38:25

Three good answers up there on the board.

0:38:250:38:27

Now, if one of these answers turns out to be pointless,

0:38:270:38:30

and you were to win that jackpot of £7,000 -

0:38:300:38:33

a nice, big jackpot - what would you do with your share of it, David?

0:38:330:38:36

We quite enjoy taking our family away for a long weekend

0:38:360:38:41

or a week, so we'd probably do that.

0:38:410:38:43

-Very good. Anne?

-I think I would give some to the grandchildren -

0:38:430:38:46

got seven grandchildren - and probably a nice holiday.

0:38:460:38:49

Lovely. OK, well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:490:38:51

Fingers crossed. Your first answer was Harold.

0:38:510:38:53

In this case, we were looking for named characters

0:38:530:38:56

from the Bayeux Tapestry.

0:38:560:38:57

It has to be right, then it has to be pointless,

0:38:570:38:59

obviously, for you to win that jackpot.

0:38:590:39:01

For £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Harold.

0:39:010:39:05

It is right.

0:39:080:39:10

Now, if Harold takes us all the way down to 0,

0:39:120:39:14

which he could,

0:39:140:39:15

you will leave here with £7,000.

0:39:150:39:18

29 for Harold.

0:39:180:39:19

APPLAUSE

0:39:190:39:22

I guess he's one of the star players, isn't he,

0:39:220:39:24

in the Bayeux Tapestry?

0:39:240:39:25

I'm afraid not a pointless answer there,

0:39:250:39:27

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

0:39:270:39:30

We now move on to Scottish monarchs.

0:39:300:39:33

James I was your next answer.

0:39:330:39:37

We want to find out if James I is correct,

0:39:370:39:40

then we want to find out if it is pointless.

0:39:400:39:42

If nobody said James I, you will leave here with £7,000.

0:39:420:39:45

Is it right? How many people said it?

0:39:450:39:47

HE WHISPERS

0:39:470:39:50

It's right.

0:39:510:39:52

OK, well, Harold took us all the way down to 29.

0:39:530:39:57

James I takes us down past 29.

0:39:570:39:59

Down it goes, into the teens.

0:39:590:40:01

Are we into single figures?

0:40:010:40:02

Ooh, not quite. 10 for James I.

0:40:020:40:04

APPLAUSE

0:40:040:40:07

You only have one more shot at today's jackpot.

0:40:090:40:12

Everything is now riding on Malcolm I.

0:40:120:40:15

This was the answer you thought was your best shot

0:40:150:40:17

at a pointless answer.

0:40:170:40:19

It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:190:40:21

So, for £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said

0:40:210:40:23

Malcolm I. Is it pointless?

0:40:230:40:26

No!

0:40:300:40:32

-APPLAUSE

-Never mind.

-Never mind.

-Ooh.

0:40:320:40:36

I'm afraid that is incorrect, and it scores you 100 points.

0:40:370:40:41

We'll discover why in a moment or two.

0:40:410:40:43

I'm sorry to say, two good answers there.

0:40:430:40:45

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

0:40:450:40:48

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,000,

0:40:480:40:50

which rolls over onto the next show.

0:40:500:40:52

It's been fabulous having you on the programme.

0:40:520:40:54

-You've done so well.

-We've really enjoyed it.

0:40:540:40:56

You've got a Pointless trophy to take home.

0:40:560:40:58

-Absolutely. It's what we came for.

-There we are. Very well done.

0:40:580:41:01

APPLAUSE

0:41:010:41:03

I'm glad you've enjoyed it cos we've enjoyed having you.

0:41:030:41:06

Been absolutely terrific value,

0:41:060:41:08

brilliant throughout and great fun as well.

0:41:080:41:10

Malcolm I was too early for our time.

0:41:100:41:12

Malcolm I was the century before. Four other Malcolms.

0:41:120:41:15

-All of those were pointless answers.

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

0:41:150:41:17

Second, third, fourth and fifth.

0:41:170:41:19

Also, you just have to look around you.

0:41:190:41:21

Alexander I, Alexander II, Alexander III -

0:41:210:41:23

-all pointless answers.

-Oh!

0:41:230:41:25

And David I and David II are pointless answers as well.

0:41:250:41:28

-So, I tell you, no Anne or Richard, though.

-Well, there you go.

0:41:280:41:32

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

0:41:320:41:35

Let's take a look at a few of the named people

0:41:350:41:38

in the Bayeux Tapestry.

0:41:380:41:39

Archbishop Stigand. Bishop Odo, anyone?

0:41:390:41:42

Gyrth who was Harold's younger brother,

0:41:430:41:45

and Robert as well was a pointless answer.

0:41:450:41:47

Also could have had Conan, Leofwine, St Peter the Apostle.

0:41:470:41:49

All those pointless answers.

0:41:490:41:51

Malcolm the second, third and fourth - all pointless answers.

0:41:510:41:54

Let's take a look at the places named in the Magna Carta.

0:41:540:41:58

Glastonbury. Yeah, Rod Stewart was headlining that year.

0:41:580:42:01

-LAUGHTER

-You could've had Dublin, Coventry,

0:42:010:42:03

Bath. Also could have had Anjou, Aquitaine, Galloway, Normandy,

0:42:030:42:07

Pembroke and Warenne. All of those were pointless answers.

0:42:070:42:10

Well done if you said any of those.

0:42:100:42:11

Let's look at some more of these kings of Scotland.

0:42:110:42:13

There's lots of them. Alexander I. As I say, second and third as well.

0:42:130:42:17

Donald Bane was a pointless answer.

0:42:170:42:19

You could've had John Balliol. You could've had Lulach.

0:42:190:42:22

You also mentioned Duncan in your 60 seconds.

0:42:220:42:24

Duncan I and Duncan II were pointless answers.

0:42:240:42:27

Edgar was a pointless answer. Kenneth III,

0:42:270:42:29

Robert II and William I, the Lion - all of those pointless answers.

0:42:290:42:32

Very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:42:320:42:34

And that has to go down as very, very unlucky.

0:42:340:42:36

There we go. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to David and Anne,

0:42:360:42:39

-but it's been wonderful having you on the show.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:390:42:42

Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.

0:42:420:42:45

APPLAUSE

0:42:450:42:47

I'm sorry to say David and Anne didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:470:42:50

which means it rolls over onto the next show

0:42:500:42:52

when we will be playing for £8,000.

0:42:520:42:54

APPLAUSE

0:42:540:42:57

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:42:570:42:59

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:42:590:43:01

And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye.

0:43:010:43:03

APPLAUSE
