APPLAUSE | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
and welcome to Pointless, the show where we're always striving | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
to find the most obscure answers. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
And couple number one. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Hello, I'm Charmain, this is my sister Jane, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
and we're from London. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
Couple number two. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Hello, I'm Kate, this my youngest son Mark, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
and we're from Essex. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Couple number three. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
Hello, I'm David, this is my friend Anne, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
and we're from Foxton in Cambridgeshire. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
And finally, couple number four. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi, I'm Joel, this is my lovely wife Sian, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
and we're from London. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
And these are today's contestants. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
A very warm welcome to you all. Thank you very much. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
We'll find out more about you throughout the show. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
That just leaves one more person for me to introduce. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Headlining our factual festival... | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Viewers are bound to take to Twitter to complain it's not Beyonce, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
but he is my Pointless friend, it's Richard. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-Hiya. Hi, everybody. -APPLAUSE | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
-Good afternoon to you. -Mm, good afternoon. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-That jackpot is bubbling away very nicely now, isn't it? -Isn't it? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-Mm. -Very nicely. -Smelling nice, isn't it? -It is. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
We've got two returning pairs from last time. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Kate and Mark, who got through to the head-to-head, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
so they'll be difficult to beat, I suspect. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-They were good. -Very good. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
On podium four, we've got Joel and Sian | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
who were knocked out in Round One, but quite a tough round. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
-I suspect we might see more of them this time. -Oh, I hope so. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
And very, very glad. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
We very rarely have rhyming contestants on the show. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
We like it when we do. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
We recently had Jill and Bill, which was a pleasure, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
and now we've got Charmain and Jane, which is lovely. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-Always a pleasure to have rhyming contestants. -Always a pleasure. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Thank you very much, Richard. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Well, Sally and Sally-Anne didn't win the jackpot last time, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Wait till you see this. Today's jackpot starts off... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
I can barely pronounce it. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
£7,000. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE There we are. It's a staggering sum. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
All you have to remember is this, the cardinal rule of Pointless - | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
the pair with the highest score at the end of each round | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
will be eliminated. That's it. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
You just have to make sure you're not that pair. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Best of luck to all four pairs. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
Our first category this afternoon is... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-Flags. It's that thing you forgot to revise, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
OK, and our question concerns... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Flags that are the same upside down. Richard. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Imagine if I didn't give any more information. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
We just left you to it. That'd be fun. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
We're going to show you 15 flags now. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
They all happen to be the same upside down | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
if you would take them through 180 degrees. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
We need you to tell us the name of any country | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
represented by one of these flags, please. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
There we are. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
We are going to put up an image which shows | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
all these vertically symmetrical flags. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Here is the image. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
OK. 15 flags there. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Jane, welcome to Pointless, I say, having put that up. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
What do you do, Jane? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
I'm a T-shirt designer. A children's T-shirt designer. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
How long have you been doing that? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-Only a few months, because before that, I was a TEFL teacher. -Right. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-I taught English to little children. -Very good. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-And you decided... Had you been making T-shirts for fun? -No. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-You just thought, "I'm just going to go into T-shirts." -Basically, yes. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
I just wanted to do something different, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
and be a bit more creative and... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-And you design them yourself? -Yes. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
-Make them yourself? -Yes, at the moment. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-And then sell them yourself? -Exactly. -Online? -Yes. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-I'm starting out online, so... -Very good. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-Well, it's a new company. -Yeah. -It's very exciting. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-It's not a company yet. -Yeah. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
-Well, OK, new business. -Yes. -There we are. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-Jane, flags. How are we feeling about flags generally? -Erm... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
I'm trying to decide whether to go safe | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
or just have a punt at one of them. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
I'll go kind of safe-ish, yeah. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-A safe punt. -Yeah. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
And I will go for Trinidad and Tobago. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-Trinidad and Tobago, says Jane. -Yeah. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Let's see if that's right. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Trinidad and Tobago if it is. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
It is right. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
Look at that. Down it goes. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
Very well done, Jane. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
14. Great way to kick off the show. APPLAUSE | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Great way to kick off the round. 14 for Trinidad and Tobago. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
That's a great start. Very well played. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Yeah, tough on that first podium. They adopted that flag in 1962. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-Yes, from a flag home. -From a flag home. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-They went into a flag home, and there were lots of flags that... -Aw! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
And that one was just sitting in a corner of its little room... | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-Aw, it can be heartbreaking sometimes. -..just whimpering. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-See some of them at half-mast. -Yeah. -Just... Aw. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
And Trinidad turned to Tobago and said, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-"I think that one. Do you?" -"I think that one." | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-Yeah. And they took it home. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-Now, Mark. -Hello. -Welcome back. -Thank you. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-Now, remind us what you do, Mark. -I'm a pub manager. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-See, that's a fun job. -Yeah, it's all right. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Well, everyone says that's a fun job. Maybe it's not. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
-It's very long hours. -Very long hours. -Yeah. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
How many people do you have working behind your bar? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Varies, to be honest. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
Sometimes, just me. Sometimes, up to eight or nine. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
When not pubbing, what do you like to get up to? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
I like to play football, I...I go skiing, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:36 | |
rock climbing in the summer, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
listen to Lionel Richie, all sorts. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-That's...that was out of the blue. -Very eclectic mix. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-Have you been a big Lionel Ritchie fan all your life? -Yeah. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I actually changed my name - my middle name - for a joke. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
Went from being Mark Stephen Roberts to Mark Stephen Lionel Roberts, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-and it stuck. -Well, it's not so bad. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
At least you didn't get rid of Stephen. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
That would've been upsetting if you got rid of Stephen. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-Very true. -Now, Mark, what are you going to go for? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Erm... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:05 | |
There's a lot of safe ones that I could go for. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
I'm going to take a sort of... Not a guess. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
I'm quite confident. I'm going to go with Malaysia. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Malaysia, says Mark. Malaysia. Let's see if it's right. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Malaysia. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-Ooh. -Oh, no. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Bad luck, Mark. I'm afraid no Malaysia up there. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-It scores you 100 points. I'm sorry. -Yeah, sorry, Mark. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-No Malaysian flag on that board, I'm afraid. -Not up there. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-David, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here. -Thank you. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-What do you do, David? -I'm retired now. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I used to work for the University of Cambridge | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
as an examination administrator. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
These are exams within the university or...? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
No, they were a national English as a second language exam. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
Right, I see, I see. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
And what are you doing with your retirement now, David? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
I do some voluntary work at Duxford War Museum. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Oh, wonderful. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
I do some voluntary driving for people from the village | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
to doctors and stuff like that. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Play bowls quite a bit, and bridge, and a bit of quizzing. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
Very good indeed. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-Nice to have you here for a bit of quizzing. -Thank you. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
I mean, to a quizzer, this is just... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
This is just... THEY LAUGH | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-That was a dangerous thing to say, wasn't it? -..meat and drink. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
What are you going to go for, David? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Going to play relatively safe, then, and say Israel. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Israel, says David. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Israel. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
55. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
-APPLAUSE -That's OK. -55 for Israel, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
but it's a safe answer there. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Well played. Everyone can relax. As soon as someone's got 100, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
it's slightly more relaxing, isn't it? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-You can go for those mid-answers. -There we go. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
-Now, Joel, welcome back. -Hello. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Joel, we said goodbye to you far too early last time round. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Round One exit for you. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
-Remind us what you do, Joel. -I run my own business. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
It's a recruitment consultancy. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
A recruitment consultancy. That's right. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
What do you get up to when you're not recruiting? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Looking after my 18-month-old daughter, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-who's a big fan of yours, by the way... -Aw, lovely! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
..in your narration of Duggee. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
She absolutely loves that. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
I think it's the first time anyone's mentioned Hey Duggee, actually. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
I didn't want to bring it up. Oh, I love Hey Duggee. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-And doing a lot of travelling as well. -Excellent. Lovely. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
And travelling, of course, bleeds beautifully into this. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-Or does it? -It does, but...I... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
I could risk a lot, and there are two in particular, | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
one that's safer than the other, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
and I'm just debating which one to go for. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
But I'm going to go with the safer option, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
which is Latvia. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Latvia, says Joel. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Sounds like he knows his stuff, Joel. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Well, let's see. Latvia, is it right? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
How many of our 100 people said Latvia? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
It is right. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
Oh, it's a good answer, Joel. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
Look at that. Down it goes to 8. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Best score of the round so far. 8 for Latvia. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Great answer, Joel. Very well played. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-It's said to originate from the 13th century. -Interesting. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
8, the best score of the pass. Well done, Joel. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Joel and Sian looking very strong, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
as indeed are Jane and Charmain, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
rhyming beautifully on that first podium. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Then up to 55, where we find David and Annie, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
and then up to 100, Mark and Kate. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
I'm so sorry. Our low scorers last game. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Here you are on 100. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Kate, I bet that's not the last 100. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-I bet there'll be more 100s. -I wouldn't be surprised. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
As long as the next one isn't from you - that's the thing - | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
we might see you in the next round. Fingers crossed. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
We're going to come back down the line. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
Can the second players step up to the podium? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Sian, welcome back, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sian. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
I also run my own recruitment business, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-but in creative and advertising, so, different. -I see. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
You don't run them from home, your recruitment businesses, do you? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Most of the time, yeah. One upstairs and one downstairs. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
And how good are you at keeping office hours at home? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-Hm. -Well, Pointless is on at quarter past five, | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-so that's when we finish, so... -Yeah. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
LAUGHTER Nicely said. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
Genuinely, working from home, it can be extremely... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Particularly with an 18-month-old, that is... | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
-She's at nursery three days a week, so... -Good stuff. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
Now, Sian, flags. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
How do you feel about flags generally? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Right. Well, there's a couple that I know. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
One's more obvious than the other one I was going to pick, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
so I'm going to go with the obvious one for me, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
which is Japan. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
Japan, says Sian. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Our high-scorers are Kate and Mark on 100. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
You're on 8, so 91 or less gets you through. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
Nice, safe target for you. There is your red line. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Get below that with Japan, you're into Round Two. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
It's right, and you are through. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
-Ooh, look at that. 82. -Just. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
APPLAUSE Not much room to spare there, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
but it's good enough. Takes your total up to 90. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Safely through, it turns out, but it's a big score for Japan. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-Isn't it? -It's very recognisable. -They'll be very pleased with that. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
It represents the sun, of course, because Japan, as you well know, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
was founded by the sun goddess in the seventh century BC. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-Now, Annie. -Hello. -Welcome to Pointless. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-Lovely to have you here... -Thank you. -..from Foxton. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
-Yes, indeed. -Foxton in Cambridgeshire. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
-Very nice village. -Very nice. -Beautiful. -Very pretty. -Yes. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-What do you do, Annie? -I'm retired now, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
but I was a business manager before for the local education council. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-Very good. And when did you retire from there? -About five years ago. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
And I'm busier now than I was when I was working. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-That's what everyone always says. -Yes. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-But busier doing fun things? -Pilates, keeping fit... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
I've just realised I've been calling you Annie. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-I'm so sorry. Terribly familiar. -My friends call me Annie. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-May we be your friends? -You can be my friend any time, Xander. -Lovely. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
-That's a great... Thank you. -And Richard. Sorry. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
I think we might... Shall we start calling David Dave? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-No. -No? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
No, I think Davey, Davey won't like that. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-LAUGHTER -He might not. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Anne, what would you like to go for? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
The high-scorers are still Kate and Mark on 100. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
44 is your target. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Right. There's two or three I kind of know, but I'm not sure. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
But I'm going to go with the one I think is right... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-Jamaica. -Jamaica, says Anne. Jamaica. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
Here is your red line. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
If you can get below that with Jamaica, you're into the next round. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
How many people said Jamaica? | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
It's right. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
I think that's pretty good. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
APPLAUSE You needed 44, you got 43. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-SHE CHUCKLES -Well done. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Accuracy is what it's all about. 98 is your total. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-Richard, Jamaica? -No, she answered of her own accord. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
-Kate, you are currently the high-scorers. -Mm. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
I'm so sorry. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
-I'm so sorry about Malaysia not being up there and all. -So am I. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Welcome back, though. Lovely to have you here. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Remind us what you do, Kate. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
I work part-time for a local newspaper | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
and part-time freelance writing. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
-The Romford...? -Recorder. -Recorder. Fabulous. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-You work in the advertising department? -Yes. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
Well, that's what keeps the whole thing afloat. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
That's right. It's probably the most important thing. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
-Absolutely. -Pays the wages. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
But, actually, a number of local papers are in trouble, I think. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-They are. -Is the Romford Recorder OK? -Yes. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-Everything ticking over nicely? -Yeah. -Thank goodness. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-Still very well read. -Yes, good. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
As, indeed, are all your customers. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Now, Kate, you are our high-scorers. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
There's a world in which Charmain could get an incorrect answer. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
And I'm looking at her now - | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
it doesn't look like that's going to happen. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
But we just have to provision against | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
that eventuality just in case. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
So, if you could score 13 or less, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
you would then be in a position to take advantage of that fact. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Well, this is probably the worst round I could imagine. -Oh, no. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
I'm going to go for an old Pointless favourite | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
and hope Central African Republic's up there. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-LAUGHTER -At least I've said it. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
That's a nice way of doing it. Central African Republic, says Kate. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
No red line for you obviously. You're the high-scorers. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
Let's see how many people said Central African Republic. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Is it right? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
-Aw. -Aw. -Kate, I'm sorry. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
-If in doubt. -I am sorry. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Listen, out in a blaze of glory is what that's called. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Yeah, sorry, Kate. The Central African Republic flag | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
is just a big picture of Xander with his thumbs up. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Oh, fair enough. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
-There we are. Now, Charmain, welcome. -Hello. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Great to have you here. From London. What do you do, Charmain? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
I'm a music administrator for Wandsworth Music Service. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
They administer music services throughout the borough. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
That's fun, isn't it? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
-That sounds like a nice thing to do. -It's a lovely job. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
And administering music, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
-does that mean you do some sort of teaching? -I don't do teaching, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
but I help organise the teachers | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
who do go out into the schools and teach. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-You provide the resources, I suppose. -That's right. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
So, you've got lots of instruments, lots of chime bars, | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
maybe some recorders. I don't know. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
Lots of recorders, some saxophones, violins, cellos. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-Are you a musician yourself? -I am a singer, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and I dabble in instruments every now and then. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
Which sort of instruments do you dabble in? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
I did play cello when I was much, much younger. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-I've played a bit of piano, a bit of guitar. -Very good. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Now, listen, you're on 14. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
The nice thing is it doesn't matter what you score, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
you're still into the next round. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:26 | |
But why not have a punt at another of those flags? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
All the ones I knew have gone. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
I did think Switzerland was down there in the corner, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
but I'm just not sure about that one either. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Possibly Poland up in the corner as well. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-But I think I'll go for Switzerland. -Switzerland, says Charmain. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Switzerland. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
No red line. You're already through. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
It's right. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
That was Switzerland in the corner. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
59 is what it scores you, taking your total up to 73. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-APPLAUSE -Well played, Charmain. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Safely through there. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
It's the Union Jack there. What do you think that scored? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-United Kingdom is the answer. -Erm...United Kingdom? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
I suppose some people might have gone for Great Britain | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
instead of the UK, so maybe not as high as you'd hope. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-91. -Yeah, you're way ahead of me. 84. 84. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
But, no, United Kingdom, the answer there. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Then we've got Trinidad and Tobago next to that. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
We've got Micronesia. An old Pointless favourite. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Would've scored you 4 points. Terrific answer. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Then, it's not Poland. It's very similar to Poland. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
It's Austria in the top right. That would've scored you 12. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
Second row, we've got Nigeria. Would've scored you 18. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Right in the middle there, we've got Georgia. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
That would've scored you 12. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Then Thailand. Would've scored you 4. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Next to that, you've got Macedonia, which would've scored you 7. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
-That's a cool flag, isn't it? -That is how to do a flag. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Bottom row there, next to Latvia, we've got Botswana, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
which would've scored you 4. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
The best answer on the board that we haven't had, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
on the bottom row there is Laos. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
Lao, some people call it, but I've always been told it's Laos. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-1 point for that. -1 point. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Un point for Laos. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
OK, well, thank you very much. We're at the end of our first round, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-and very sadly... -Mark just told me he knew Macedonia. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Yeah. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
-Oh, Mark. -I thought that's what I said, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-but obviously... -Do you know what? You did say it, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
but it just came out sounding very like Malaysia. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Fair enough. Kate and Mark, lovely having you on the show. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
after your brilliant performance last time. We were expecting more. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-Thank you for playing. Kate and Mark. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
Well done, everyone. We've seen off one of our returning pairs. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
Not bad going. And welcome to Round Two. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
Our category for Round Two this afternoon is... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
OK, and the question concerns... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
Women In British Sitcoms. Richard. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Xander's going to show you the names of six British sitcoms. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
We need the name of any female actor | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
who's appeared in two or more episodes | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
of any of these, please, up till May 2015. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
So, any female actor who's appeared in two or more episodes | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
of any of the following sitcoms. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
OK, we're going to put a list of sitcoms up | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
on the board as Richard just mentioned. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:24 | |
They will stay on the board, much like the flags did last time. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Here are the sitcoms. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
I'll read those one last time. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
We are wanting the name of any woman | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
who has appeared in two | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
or more episodes | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
of any of these six sitcoms. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Charmain. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Oh, this is not a good one for me cos I don't watch any of them. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
But I'm going to go for one that's pretty obvious | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
and that would be Dawn French. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Dawn French, says Charmain. Dawn French. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
51. APPLAUSE | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
51 for Dawn French. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
Yeah, plays Geraldine Granger, of course, in Vicar Of Dibley. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Anne. Annie. -Yes. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Annie, what would you like to go for? | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
As it was one of my favourite shows | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
when it was on... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
It repeats now, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
but it was on quite a while ago, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
..I'm going to go for Gavin & Stacey and I'm going to say Sheridan Smith. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
Sheridan Smith, says Anne. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:35 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people remembered | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
Sheridan Smith from Gavin & Stacey. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
It's right. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
Well, 51's our high score at this point. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
You whizz past that. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
That's a good score. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
3, Anne. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
APPLAUSE Very well done indeed. 3 for | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Sheridan Smith. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
That's a great answer, Anne/Annie. Very well played. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Yes, she played Smithy's sister, of course, Rudi. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
Excellent. Now, Sian. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Um, I know quite a few of them, but my mind's gone blank, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
which is really annoying. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
So, I think I'm going to go for | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
Fawlty Towers and Prunella Scales. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Prunella Scales, says Sian. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Prunella Scales. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
51's the highest score, which you pass. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
3 is our low. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
You don't quite get to 3, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
but that's pretty good. 17. APPLAUSE | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Not bad. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
Not bad at all. Richard. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Yeah, plays, of course, Cybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. 12 episodes. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Just the 12. -Just the 12. -There we are. Thanks. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
3, Annie, well done. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:43 | |
Annie and David looking very strong there on 3. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Then up to 17, where we find Sian and Joel. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Then up to 51, Charmain and Jane. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
Jane, as long as we have a nice, low score from you, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
you are in with a chance. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
Do you watch any more telly than your sister? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Well, a few of those, but...my mind's gone blank, so... | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Just keep thinking. Let's hope, by the time we get to you, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
you'll have a lovely, low-scoring answer | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
that'll keep you in the game. We're coming back down the line. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Can the second players step up to the podium? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Joel. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
We're looking for any female actor from any of these sitcoms. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
Well, considering it's one of my favourite shows, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
I'll go for Peep Show | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
and say Olivia Coleman. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
Olivia Colman. Lovely Olivia Colman. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
You're on 17. The high-scorers are Jane and Charmain, 51. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
That's your red line. Get below that, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
you're into the next round. Olivia Colman. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Very well done, Joel. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
Look at that. 3. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
APPLAUSE Very strong play | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
on that far podium there, taking your total up to 20. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Well played, Joel. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
Yeah, 32 episodes Peep Show, she's been in at time of recording. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
-Might they do more? -They are doing more, yeah. -Are they really? -Yeah. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
That's great news. David. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Yes. Um... | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
If you can score 47 or less, | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
you're into the head-to-head. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
The only one I'm reasonably happy | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
with, I think may be a high-scorer. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
I'll say Connie Booth | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
from Fawlty Towers. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
Connie Booth. There's your red line. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
Let's see if that's right. How many people said Connie Booth? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
It's right. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Very well done. Good enough. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
Actually, very good. Look at that. 11. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
APPLAUSE 11, taking your total up to 14. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
-The lowest total of the round. -Yeah, another good answer. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
She, of course, wrote the show with John Cleese as well, Connie Booth. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
Exactly. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
Now, Jane, I'm sorry to say, you are the high-scorers, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
even before you've given your answer, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
but what have you got for us? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
I was going to go | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
with Wendy Richard, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
but now I'm going with Leslie Ash | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
since it doesn't really matter. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
And perhaps she was funny...in one of those. So, Leslie Ash. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
OK, Leslie Ash. HE CHUCKLES | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Let's see. No red line. You're the high-scorers. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
But how many people said Leslie Ash? Is it right? | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
No. Bad luck. Bad luck. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
You were the high-scorers anyway, so there we are. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
-151 is your total in the end. -Yeah, sorry, Jane. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
No Leslie Ash. Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
from the different categories. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Cheryl Campbell is in Peep Show, two episodes of Peep Show. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Edna Dore is in Gavin & Stacey. She plays Edna. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Gilly Flower and Renee Roberts are the two elderly ladies, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
the permanent residents of Fawlty Towers. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
They're both pointless answers. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
Julia Davis was in seven episodes of Gavin & Stacey. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Julie Fernandez was in The Office. Played Brenda. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Melanie Walters, also Gavin & Stacey. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
She played Gwen. That's a very good answer. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Pam Ferris was in two episodes of Gavin & Stacey as well. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Patricia Kane from Vicar Of Dibley. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
And from Dinnerladies, Sue Cleaver. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
Very well done if you said any of those. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
Let's take a look at the top three answers, | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
the ones that most of our 100 people said. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Julie Walters, 28, from Dinnerladies. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
Victoria Wood, also Dinnerladies, 49. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
And we've seen the top answer, Dawn French, 51. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
-Did you have a good answer for any of those? -Anne Reid. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
-Anne Reid from Dinnerladies, of course. -Yeah. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
7 points for Anne Reid. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
Maxine Peake, I thought. She was 10 points for Dinnerladies. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
Very good. Thanks very much. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
At the end of our second round, the pair we're sending home | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
with a high score of 151 is Jane and Charmain. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
I'm sorry to be sending you home so soon, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Thanks very much, Jane and Charmain. APPLAUSE | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
But for Joel and Sian, and David and Anne, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
it's now time for our head-to-head. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
Congratulations, Joel and Sian, David and Anne. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
You are now one step closer to the final | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
which currently stands at... | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Ooh! | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
Well, someone's going to have to win it sooner or later | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
and this is the bit where we decide who's going to play for it. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
You know what happens - you play as teams from here on in. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
First pair to win two questions will be going through to that final. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
Here's your first question and it's all about... | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
THEY CHUCKLE It's all about penguins. Richard. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Yeah, well, you remember a few weeks ago, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
we did a round all about Twixes, so, today, I thought we would... | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
No, we're going to give you five clues now to facts about penguins. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Can you give us the most obscure answer? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
OK, so, let's reveal our five facts about penguins. And here they are. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
The penguin facts line up like this... | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
Now, Joel and Sian, you are our low-scorers, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
so you will go first. Feel free to confer. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
I'll go for the top one, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
and it's Danny DeVito. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
Danny DeVito played The Penguin in Batman Returns. Danny DeVito. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
Now, David and Anne. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Do you want to go through it? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
-Uh, no. -LAUGHTER | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
No, I don't think we dare. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
We think we'll settle for | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
the fourth one down, which we think | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
-is the emperor penguin. -The emperor penguin. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
So, we have Danny DeVito and we have the emperor penguin. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
Joel and Sian said Danny DeVito | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
played The Penguin in Batman Returns. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
It is right. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:52 | |
32. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
32 for Danny DeVito. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:01 | |
Meanwhile, David and Annie have said the emperor penguin is | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
the tallest living species. Let's see if that's right. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Let's see how many people said the emperor. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
-It's wrong. -It's right. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Ooh, 68, though. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
It's a high score. APPLAUSE | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
Very well done, Joel and Sian. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:18 | |
After one question, you are up one-nil. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
-Yeah, emperor penguin, they can grow up to 9ft tall. -No! | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
-No, not really. -LAUGHTER | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
I was going to say, that's almost up to you. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Can you imagine? A 9ft-tall penguin? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
-A 9ft-tall penguin. -I'd be... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
I tell you what, I'd be calling that emperor, as well. I would be. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
Let's take a look at the rest of these. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
The name of the most northerly species. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Of course, they're southern, they're from the Antarctic, penguins, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
but there are Galapagos penguins. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
1 point for that. And they're 21 inches high, on average. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-Aw. -That's quite sweet, isn't it? | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
-That is quite sweet. -A Galapagos penguin. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Now, the actor who stars as the title character | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
in the film is Jim Carrey. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
It's actually a rather good film, Mr Popper's Penguins. 23 points. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
And if you had to have a guess on the decade. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
'50s. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:06 | |
-'30s. -'30s. -1930s. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
1935, the first ten came out. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
And that would've scored you 9 points. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
So, the best answer there is Galapagos penguin. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if we had one coming on now? | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
9ft. On it comes, bursting through the screen. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
HE IMITATES EXPLOSION | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Just going, "Is anybody else hot? I'm so hot." | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
-"I'm so hot." -We'd have to keep covering him in make-up. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
Anyway, here comes our second question. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
Now, David and Anne, you get to answer it first, | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
It concerns... | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Oh, no. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:43 | |
UK Number One Singles. Richard. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
Yeah, this is the sort of round that you like | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
cos we're going to show five visual clues now | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
to the titles of UK number one singles. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
Can you work out which singles we are referring to? | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they are. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
We've got... | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
OK...there we are. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
Now, David and Annie, you can go first. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
-Would you go for C? -Well... | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
-What do you think? -..I know... | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
We think we know three of them. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
We THINK we know. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
But we're going to go, I think, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
-for C. -Yeah. -Running Bear. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
Running Bear. Running Bear. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
OK, David and Anne are saying Running Bear. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
Now, Joel and Sian, | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
that board is all yours. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
Do you want to talk us through it? | 0:29:56 | 0:29:57 | |
You go through it? | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
I think A is Ring My Bell. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
Message In A Bottle. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
The Lion Sleeps Tonight. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
And the last one, I can't think. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
Um... | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
So, I think I'm going to go with A and Ring My Bell. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
Ring My Bell. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:16 | |
So, we have Running Bear and we have Ring My Bell. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
David and Anne said Running Bear for C. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
11. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
11 for Running Bear. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:39 | |
Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Ring My Bell for A. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
37. APPLAUSE | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
Well done, David and Anne. Back in the game. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
-After two questions, it's one-all. -Very well played. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
We should dedicate this show to the photographer | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
who took that photograph | 0:31:01 | 0:31:02 | |
-of the running bear. -Yes. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
Can you imagine that? | 0:31:04 | 0:31:05 | |
I hope he had a very long lens. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:06 | |
-I hope so. -That's quite scary. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
When you said Running Bear, | 0:31:08 | 0:31:09 | |
I was thinking, you were spelling it B-A-R-E. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
-LAUGHTER -You could do, could do. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
I thought that was a more nudist single, but there we are. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
Very different song, isn't it? | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
Now B. Such a cryptic photograph, that(!) | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
-Yeah, Message In A Bottle. -Yeah. -Of course it is. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
That would've scored you 85 points, perhaps unsurprisingly. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
D is Tight Fit, of course, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 | |
The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Aw. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:28 | |
That's a long lens as well, isn't it? | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
45 points. I don't know cos he's asleep. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
Still, you wouldn't catch me going that close. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
No. I hope not. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:36 | |
And E, the one you didn't know, is Goodbye. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
Goodbye is the answer. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:41 | |
That would've scored you 21. Well done if you said that. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
OK, it all comes down to a third and final question. The decider. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Whoever wins this goes through to the final | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
and plays for that colossal jackpot. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns... | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
There we go. Richard. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:01 | |
-Should we just go back to penguins? -LAUGHTER | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
Going to show you the names of five famous battles | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
that took place during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
but we've missed out alternate letters from each one. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
Can you fill in those gaps? | 0:32:12 | 0:32:13 | |
Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
-to play for the jackpot. -Thanks very much. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
OK, let's reveal our battles, and here they come. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
We've got... | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
Now then, Joel and Sian, you'll go first this time. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
I'm amazed we actually | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
know some of them. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:55 | |
But we're going to go for | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
the bottom one | 0:33:00 | 0:33:01 | |
and say Leipzig. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
Leipzig, say Joel and Sian. Leipzig. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
Now then, David and Anne, | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
do you want to talk us through the rest of that board? | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
The top one is Waterloo. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
The second one is The Nile. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
The 1805 is Trafalgar. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
But we'll go for the middle one, | 0:33:16 | 0:33:17 | |
-which is Marengo. -Marengo. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
Marengo, say David and Annie. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
Now, Joel and Sian have gone for Leipzig. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Leipzig. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
It's right. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
Leipzig scores 39. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
David and Anne have gone for Marengo. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Marengo. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
It's right. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:48 | |
Very well done. Wins you the point. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
And 8, as well, it scores. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
APPLAUSE What it means, more importantly, | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
David and Anne, is that after three questions, | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
you're through to the final two-one. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
Great head-to-head, and for the second question, | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
you got the best possible answer as well. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
Very well played. Can't argue with that. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
Waterloo, up the top, is a big scorer, unsurprisingly. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
That would have scored you 72. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
The Nile, actually quite a low-scorer. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
The Nile would have scored you 11. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
And Trafalgar, that would have scored you 49. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:21 | |
There we are. Thank you very much. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round... | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
We've had a bit of a run of this, of our low-scoring, golden pairs | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
actually being knocked out in the head-to-head. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
I'm afraid to say, Joel and Sian, that is your fate. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:33 | |
It's been wonderful having you on both shows. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
Really strong performance across the show today, | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
but this, I fear, is the end of the line. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
Thank you so much for playing. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
Joel and Sian. Wonderful contestants. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
But for David and Anne, it's now time for our Pointless final. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
Well, I mean, for heaven's sake, David and Anne, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
you've seen off all the competition | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
and you have each won our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
You also have a chance now to play for that jackpot. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
I mean, it's a colossal jackpot. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £7,000. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
It's been a while since we've had a jackpot that big, I have to say. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
Let's take a look and see what's on the board today. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
You know what it's like. They're a bit forbidding to start with, | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
but behind them, there's usually something. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
-What do you think? -What do you like? -Well... | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
-You like medieval history. -Dave is good at sport. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
-Police could be anything, really. -Yes. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
Shall we go for Medieval History? | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-Yes, why not? -Let's go for Medieval History. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
Medieval History it is. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:53 | |
OK, very best of luck. I hope one of these suits you. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
I know some people at home will love it, | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
some people at home will hate it, but let's see how you find it. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
We're looking for any name, any individual whose name appears | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
sewn into one of the captions or inscriptions | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
on the Bayeux Tapestry, please. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
Their name in English, rather than in the Latin. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
We are looking for any place names in the preamble | 0:36:10 | 0:36:14 | |
to the 1215 Magna Carta. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:15 | |
So, any place names mentioned in that preamble. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Or any Scottish monarch | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
1000 AD to 1500 AD, please. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
The English versions of any people | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
named in the Bayeux Tapestry, | 0:36:23 | 0:36:24 | |
place names in the 1215 Magna Carta | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
or any Scottish monarchs, | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
1000 AD to 1500 AD. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:30 | |
Very best of luck. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:31 | |
OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for just one | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
-of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH: -Yeah. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
There they are. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:43 | |
Your time starts now. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:44 | |
-Thank you. -Scottish monarchs. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
-James VI was... -Malcolm. -Yes. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
James VI, did you say? | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
-Well, James VI was... -James VI. -There must be ones before him | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
cos he was in... | 0:36:55 | 0:36:56 | |
-He was later, though, wasn't he? -He was Tudor, but there must be... | 0:36:56 | 0:37:00 | |
-James II has got to be... -Yeah, maybe. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-But Malcolm, certainly, I think. -Malcolm, certainly, yes. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
-Place names in the Magna Carta. -I've got no idea. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:07 | |
-Runnymede. -Runnymede. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
Named people in the Bayeux Tapestry. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
I think King Harold is named | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
-in there, isn't he? -Yeah. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
-Not Matilda. No, she's later. -Yeah. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
Harold, I suppose. I don't know. I don't really know that one, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
-but Scottish monarchs, I think would be a good one to go for. -Yes. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
-Was Duncan a Scottish king as well? -Yeah, yeah. -He was, wasn't he? | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
Yeah, go for him, shall we? | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
-OK. -Yeah, Malcolm, Duncan and... | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
And, um... | 0:37:30 | 0:37:31 | |
-King Harold? -Yeah. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
-Ten seconds left. -Yeah. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
Whether they're right or not is another matter. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
-Are you happy with your answers? -Yeah. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
-As happy as we'll ever be. -OK. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
Well, there we are. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:45 | |
Your time is now up. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:46 | |
So, what answers are you going to go for, David and Anne? | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
-James I of Scotland. -James I. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
King Malcolm I of Scotland. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
King Malcolm I of Scotland. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:55 | |
And the named people, we'll go for King Harold. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
-King Harold in the Bayeux Tapestry. -Yeah. -OK. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
Of those three, which is your best shot | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
-at a pointless answer, do you think? BOTH: -Malcolm. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Malcolm I goes last. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
-Least likely to be pointless? -Harold. -Harold. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
King Harold, rex interfectus est. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
Yes, OK, we'll put him first and then James in the middle. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order then. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |
And here they are. We have got... | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Well, very, very best of luck. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
Three good answers up there on the board. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
Now, if one of these answers turns out to be pointless, | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
and you were to win that jackpot of £7,000 - | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
a nice, big jackpot - what would you do with your share of it, David? | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
We quite enjoy taking our family away for a long weekend | 0:38:36 | 0:38:41 | |
or a week, so we'd probably do that. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
-Very good. Anne? -I think I would give some to the grandchildren - | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
got seven grandchildren - and probably a nice holiday. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
Lovely. OK, well, very, very best of luck. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Fingers crossed. Your first answer was Harold. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
In this case, we were looking for named characters | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
from the Bayeux Tapestry. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:57 | |
It has to be right, then it has to be pointless, | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
obviously, for you to win that jackpot. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
For £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Harold. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
It is right. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
Now, if Harold takes us all the way down to 0, | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
which he could, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:15 | |
you will leave here with £7,000. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
29 for Harold. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:19 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
I guess he's one of the star players, isn't he, | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
in the Bayeux Tapestry? | 0:39:24 | 0:39:25 | |
I'm afraid not a pointless answer there, | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
We now move on to Scottish monarchs. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
James I was your next answer. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
We want to find out if James I is correct, | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
then we want to find out if it is pointless. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
If nobody said James I, you will leave here with £7,000. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
Is it right? How many people said it? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
HE WHISPERS | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
It's right. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:52 | |
OK, well, Harold took us all the way down to 29. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
James I takes us down past 29. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
Down it goes, into the teens. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
Are we into single figures? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:02 | |
Ooh, not quite. 10 for James I. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
You only have one more shot at today's jackpot. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
Everything is now riding on Malcolm I. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
This was the answer you thought was your best shot | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
at a pointless answer. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
So, for £7,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
Malcolm I. Is it pointless? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
No! | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
-APPLAUSE -Never mind. -Never mind. -Ooh. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
I'm afraid that is incorrect, and it scores you 100 points. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
We'll discover why in a moment or two. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
I'm sorry to say, two good answers there. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer, | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,000, | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
which rolls over onto the next show. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
It's been fabulous having you on the programme. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
-You've done so well. -We've really enjoyed it. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
You've got a Pointless trophy to take home. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
-Absolutely. It's what we came for. -There we are. Very well done. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
I'm glad you've enjoyed it cos we've enjoyed having you. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
Been absolutely terrific value, | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
brilliant throughout and great fun as well. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
Malcolm I was too early for our time. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Malcolm I was the century before. Four other Malcolms. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
-All of those were pointless answers. -AUDIENCE: -Aw! | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
Second, third, fourth and fifth. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
Also, you just have to look around you. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
Alexander I, Alexander II, Alexander III - | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
-all pointless answers. -Oh! | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
And David I and David II are pointless answers as well. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
-So, I tell you, no Anne or Richard, though. -Well, there you go. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
Let's take a look at a few of the named people | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
in the Bayeux Tapestry. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:39 | |
Archbishop Stigand. Bishop Odo, anyone? | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
Gyrth who was Harold's younger brother, | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
and Robert as well was a pointless answer. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
Also could have had Conan, Leofwine, St Peter the Apostle. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
All those pointless answers. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
Malcolm the second, third and fourth - all pointless answers. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
Let's take a look at the places named in the Magna Carta. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
Glastonbury. Yeah, Rod Stewart was headlining that year. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
-LAUGHTER -You could've had Dublin, Coventry, | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
Bath. Also could have had Anjou, Aquitaine, Galloway, Normandy, | 0:42:03 | 0:42:07 | |
Pembroke and Warenne. All of those were pointless answers. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Well done if you said any of those. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:11 | |
Let's look at some more of these kings of Scotland. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
There's lots of them. Alexander I. As I say, second and third as well. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
Donald Bane was a pointless answer. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
You could've had John Balliol. You could've had Lulach. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
You also mentioned Duncan in your 60 seconds. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
Duncan I and Duncan II were pointless answers. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
Edgar was a pointless answer. Kenneth III, | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
Robert II and William I, the Lion - all of those pointless answers. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Very well done if you got any of those at home. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
And that has to go down as very, very unlucky. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
There we go. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to David and Anne, | 0:42:36 | 0:42:39 | |
-but it's been wonderful having you on the show. -Thank you very much. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
I'm sorry to say David and Anne didn't win our jackpot today, | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
which means it rolls over onto the next show | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
when we will be playing for £8,000. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
Join us then to see if someone can win it. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 |
