0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure
0:00:27 > 0:00:30and ignore the obvious. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - Hello, I'm Mary.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38I'm from Midsomer Norton, near Bath
0:00:38 > 0:00:42and this my daughter Nicola and she's from Postcombe, near Thame.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, I'm Dean. I'm from Wakefield.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48And this is my friend Gerald. He's from Hull.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Couple number three. - Hello, I'm Emily.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is my sister Lara and we're both from Mid Wales.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, my name is Matt and this is my fiancee Leanne
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and we are from London.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:04A very warm welcome to you all. Thank you for all that.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about each of you
0:01:06 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Preparing for a gritty reboot in which he'll be played by Matt Damon,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Now a few shows ago, our jackpot was up over £8,000, wasn't it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- I know.- Now we've had it won twice in a row.- I know.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And quite often they go in runs, don't they?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We see three or four in a row go, so it could be a good day to be here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I mean, not a hugely profitable day, but a good day.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Better to win £1,000, than nothing, isn't it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Indeed.- That's what I always say. Got two returning pairs
0:01:38 > 0:01:40from the last time, we've got Nicola and Mary.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Got through to the head-to-head. Welcome back.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And Leanne and Matt also joining us.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Got through to Round Two, so two good pairings back today.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Very good. Well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Now, Tim and Monica won the jackpot last time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Right. If everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So, just remember, the pair with the highest
0:02:06 > 0:02:09score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12That is all you need to remember. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:19 > 0:02:21who was going to go first, who is going to go second?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- World Book Night books. - Yeah, we've had World Book Night
0:02:36 > 0:02:38since 2011 and every year, they suggest a series of books.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41On each pass, we're going to show you seven titles of books
0:02:41 > 0:02:42that have featured in World Book Night.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We missed out one word from their titles.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Can you fill in that word, please?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49There's 14 in all to have a go in at home, so very best of luck.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, what are the words that complete these titles?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Here's our first board of seven...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'll read those one last time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- There we are. Now, Nicola, welcome back. Head-to-head, last time.- Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Did very well. Now, remind us what you do, Nicola.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'm a mum, a stay-at-home mum, I've got two little boys
0:03:34 > 0:03:36who are three and five.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- And you live in Oxfordshire? - I do, yeah.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And apart from little boys, what keeps you busy?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44We've recently got a camper van, so we go away quite a lot at weekends
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and yeah, that's really good fun. They love that.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Is it a vintage camper van? - No, it's not.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's one of the new ones. It looks a bit more like a...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- That's quite nice, though, isn't it? It's a bit more reliable.- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And it's really... It's got everything inside it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- It's really good, yeah.- Very nice.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now, Nicola, what would you like
0:04:00 > 0:04:01to go for on this board?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02OK, there are a few that I know
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and one that I'm a little bit unsure
0:04:04 > 0:04:06of, so I think I'll go for one
0:04:06 > 0:04:08that I definitely know, which is...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Brodie, says Nicola. Brodie.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brodie.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19It's right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:2361.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Not bad, not bad. 61.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, and a wonderful novel to start the show with as well.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Anything Muriel Spark writes is worth reading.- Hm.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Gerald, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Great to have you here. From Hull.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- That's right. - Now, what do you do, Gerald?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I'm the creative arts director at Bridgeview Whitehouse School,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41which is a special school for children
0:04:41 > 0:04:44who would struggle in a mainstream setting.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I see. And as creative arts director, what do you do?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well, we inject lots of drama, dance, music.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Really effective ways of engaging our children into learning.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Very good. What you do when you're not doing...?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I mean, is that something that fills quite a lot of your time?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It does, but when I'm not doing that, I play the ukulele
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and the piano and I'm also churchwarden at my local church.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So, that's...a very time-consuming job.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- A time-consuming and full life there, Gerald.- Yes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12OK, now, what would you like
0:05:12 > 0:05:14to go for on this board?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Right, I wish...
0:05:16 > 0:05:17There's a few there.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I think I'm going
0:05:18 > 0:05:20to go for The Remains Of The Day.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The Remains Of The Day, says Gerald.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Gerald,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26The Remains Of The Day.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Well, you pass 61.
0:05:32 > 0:05:3450, for The Remains Of The Day.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well played, Gerald. Yeah, it won the Booker Prize in 1989.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Don't you think Gerald has a lovely air about him?- He has.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Sort of kind but authoritative.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think if you were stranded in a desert, and you're thinking,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49you're looking around you, then Gerald started speaking,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51you'd think, "Oh, we'll be all right.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- "I think we're all going to be OK." - "It's all fine."
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Then Gerald picks up his ukulele, and you think...- Oh, no, no.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59"..I wonder." Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Emily, a warm welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Great to have you here from Mid Wales.- Yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Whereabouts in Mid Wales?- In Powys.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- In pow-ess.- However you say it.- Very good and what do you do, Emily?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- I'm a teacher.- What do you teach? - Uh...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- I don't want to say now. English... - LAUGHTER
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- ..history as well.- Right, you are.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What are your interests aside from teaching?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Can I say that Benedict Cumberbatch is an interest? Is that OK?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- How much of an interest?- Pretty big one.- Pretty substantial interest?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Yeah.- Have you met the Cumberbatch? - I have.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Several times?- Uh...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Once that he knows of. - LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- That sounds really bad.- OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Now Emily, what would you like to go for?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40I was going to go
0:06:40 > 0:06:41for Remains Of The Day.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I want to go for another one,
0:06:43 > 0:06:44but the name of the author
0:06:44 > 0:06:45is putting me off a little bit.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I don't know if that also wrote
0:06:46 > 0:06:48that particular book.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49I'll go really safe
0:06:49 > 0:06:51and go with Casino Royale.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Casino Royale.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, three quite safe answers, we've had so far, this round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Let's see where Casino Royale gets you down the column.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Ooh, dear, Emily. I thought it might be that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's a high one.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yes, that is so safe, it's dangerous.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- 93.- That's so safe, it wouldn't actually be allowed
0:07:11 > 0:07:14in a real casino. I...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16For your sake, I hope the next round is not history.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18LAUGHTER
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And I hope this round you're not, as well.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22LAUGHTER
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Leanne.- Hello.- Leanne, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Leanne.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I'm in PA office manager at a marketing company in central London.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- And what are your interests, Leanne? - I love music.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39I like going to gigs whenever I can, collecting vinyl records.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44We also accidentally, last year, managed to foster a cat.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Do you think it belonged to someone or do you think...?- It...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49We were supposed to look after it for month
0:07:49 > 0:07:50and then she never reclaimed her cat.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So, now we have a cat.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- She's a...- Oh, I see. So, it's kind of official
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and then owner did a runner.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Canada.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59LAUGHTER
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It's a good name for a cat. Yeah, why not?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Really? Never came back from Canada? Cor!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Leanne, this board is all yours.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Do you want to talk us through it
0:08:07 > 0:08:08and fill in those blanks?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10The top one is, obviously, Pride And Prejudice,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Not going to go for that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The second one is the one I'm going to go for, which is Cloud Atlas.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Cloud Atlas, says Leanne.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said cloud Atlas.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, it's right. Will this break below the 50 mark?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Yes, it will. Well done.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29The first risk taken
0:08:29 > 0:08:30this round, I would say.
0:08:30 > 0:08:3221 for Cloud Atlas, Leanne.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well played, Leanne. Yeah, another great book.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Not that David Mitchell, of course.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- The other David Mitchell. - Not that David Mitchell.- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Although David Mitchell in his lovely story,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43back story, in his autobiography,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46he says how David Miliband came up to him on Primrose Hill
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- and congratulated him so forcibly on Cloud Atlas.- Really?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52He didn't really have the heart to say,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55"Oh, thank you, but it wasn't me." So, he just took... Lapped it up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I think he was so flattered that David Miliband knew
0:08:58 > 0:09:00who he was or at least knew that his name was David Mitchell.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I would've said to him, "I'm a big fan of your dad, Glenn Miliband."
0:09:03 > 0:09:07LAUGHTER
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Emily, which is the one you were worried about there?- That one.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Oh, that one.- I thought it was that David Mitchell, so it...- Got you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Well, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Pride And Prejudice, it actually scores less than Casino Royale.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It was 82 points. The Blind...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Assassin.- Yeah, Margaret Atwood,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28wonderful book. 13 points.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30And the best answer on the board, the bottom one there,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32it is Rivers Of London.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch.- There we go.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Very good. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39We're halfway through the round.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's take a look at those scores. Well done, Leanne.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The best score of that pass was yours. 21.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You and Matt, looking strong at this point.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47We travel all the way up to 50 where we find Gerald and Dean.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Up to 61, Nicola and Mary.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52And the 93, Emily and Lara.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Now Lara, remember the Rivers Of London?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57That's the kind of level at which we need your next answer to score.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So, very, very good luck with that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Let's hope we can find a nice obscure one that you know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10OK, we're going to put seven more book titles up on the board
0:10:10 > 0:10:11and here they are.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Matt. Now, welcome back, Matt.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We discovered last time you are a sign writer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Yeah, blackboard artist and sign writer.- See, that's fun.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57How long have you done that for?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Only about three years, self-employed.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I went to art college and obviously, when you leave art college,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- you've got nowhere to go. - Or everywhere to go.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07That's the trouble. You could go anywhere.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Yeah, you could. I did.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I had about ten random jobs. I was a bailiff, lifeguard...
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Oh! Talk us through some of your random jobs.- A bailiff, lifeguard.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Not at the same time. That would be difficult, wouldn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You could do. I could be a lifeguard in the day,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21then kick people out of their houses at night.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Yeah, so I went on to become a manager of an off-licence
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and they had all these pens and paints behind the counter
0:11:27 > 0:11:31and I started drawing champagne bottles and A-boards outside.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And then one day a lady walked past
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and asked who did that and she took me on as her apprentice
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- cos she was a professional sign writer.- That's nice!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So, then the shop shut down and I gave her a call.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And then the next day, I was sort of in overalls drawing,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46painting things black and drawing lines for her for a year.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- It was pretty hard, but now I... - And three years in, there you are.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- All right, Matt, you are on 21.- Good.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Lovely, low score from Leanne.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56So, yes, if you can score
0:11:56 > 0:11:5771 or less, you are definitely
0:11:57 > 0:11:59into the next round.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01OK, I'm not going to try and push it
0:12:01 > 0:12:03too far cos Leanne did so well,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05but I'm going to try to gauge
0:12:05 > 0:12:07in the middle and I'm going to go
0:12:07 > 0:12:08with Love In The Time Of Cholera.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Cholera, says Matt.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Cholera. Here's your red line.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I think you should get below that, but let's see.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Love In The Time Of Cholera, is it right? How many people said it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Very well done indeed.
0:12:25 > 0:12:2615.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Lowest score so far.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Matt, very well done.
0:12:29 > 0:12:3136 is your total, through you go.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Well played, Matt. - Safely through, yeah.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Won the Nobel prize in literature in 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37One of those people who you think,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39"Oh, he's going to be much too highbrow for me."
0:12:39 > 0:12:42When you read him, he's actually very accessible.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Lara, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Now, what do you do, Lara? - I'm a civil servant.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Can I ask which department in or would you rather not say?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I work in a prison.- I see.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57And what do you do when you're not working in a prison, Lara?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I like to go to the gym, quite a lot.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Me and Emily go to Zumba together, Zumba classes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07And I like to bake.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Hm. Any particular thing you are very good at baking?- Cheesecake.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Oh, now you're talking! Cheesecake.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- I found a very good, new baked cheesecake recipe.- Very nice.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now, look, Lara, we can't get away from this any longer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21You are the high-scorers.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25What we need is a dazzlingly low score from you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Yeah, well there's four
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- that I know...- Sounds good.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm just trying to pick
0:13:30 > 0:13:32which one would be the lowest.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I think I'm going to go with
0:13:34 > 0:13:36The Time Traveller's Wife.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38OK, The Time Traveller's Wife, says Lara.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Let's see how many people agree with Lara with Time Traveller's Wife.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46It's right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Not bad. 49.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Is it enough to keep you
0:13:53 > 0:13:55in the game? 142 is your total.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well played, Lara. Given yourself a chance there.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah, published in 2003.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Now Dean, warm welcome to you. - Thank you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- What do you do up in Wakefield, Dean?- So, I'm an actor.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, I do lots of small-scale touring theatre,
0:14:11 > 0:14:12lots of work in schools
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and I do lots of work with children as well,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17so going in different schools, teaching them drama.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Summer school projects, mainly.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It is so vital, that, I have to say.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Because those are touring companies that come in.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I remember we had a touring company that came to school,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27primary school, and we all just loved it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It was one of the best days of that year.- Mm-hm.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Yeah, that's it. - It just gets so many people excited.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35What are your interests outside of that?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39So, I like to keep fit, I don't go to the gym at all any more.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I do a really good workout programme at home.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Is it Lara and Emily doing Zumba? LAUGHTER
0:14:44 > 0:14:47That would be good. That would probably be easier.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49So, this one, you are dripping wet by the end of it,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51so that's why I don't go to the gym any more.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52OK, well. Listen, you are on 50.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55The high-scorers at the moment are Emily and Lara on 142.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- 91 or less gets you through.- Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59How are we feeling, Dean?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, I know three.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Out of the three that I know,
0:15:04 > 0:15:05I'm going to go for...
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It will have to be Girl With A Pearl Earring.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Girl With A Pearl Earring, says Dean.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12How many people agree with Dean?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14There is your red line.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's right and you are through. Well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:1960 is your total.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Taking your total up to 110.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Famously turned into a film with Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- She played the girl. - Oh, she played the girl(?)- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Colin, of course, the earring. LAUGHTER
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Mary, welcome back.- Thank you. - Welcome back.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Now, Midsomer Norton.- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Is that theoretically where the murders take place?- Nowhere near.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- No.- Are we sure?- Yes.- It's a lovely name for a village.- It is, yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Even in midwinter, it must feel...warm.- No.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Remind us what you do, Mary.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I'm retired now, but I was a school administrator.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You're school administrator and you did that for a number of years?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Yes, 16 years, yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Now Mary, you are on 61,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02the high-scorers, still Lara and Emily.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03They are on 142,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05so 80 or less gets you through.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Do you want to talk us
0:16:06 > 0:16:07through this board?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Not really, no.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09THEY LAUGH
0:16:09 > 0:16:11There is one I definitely know
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and there is one that I...
0:16:13 > 0:16:14I'm not sure of.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I don't know the other two,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19so I'm going to go with The Tale Of Two Cities.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, Tale Of Two Cities, says Mary. Here is your red line.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Nice and high. If you can get below that, with Cities,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26you are through to Round Two.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Ooh!
0:16:31 > 0:16:3484, Mary.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36145 is your total.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Yeah, sorry, Mary. The top one would have seen you through.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Is that the one you thought you knew?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Yeah, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47'Course it is. Yeah, you did know it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:5077 that would have scored, you'd be in the second round if you said it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- You know either of the bottom two? - When God Was A Rabbit.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Is that right? - It was When God Was A Rabbit.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Yeah, by Sarah Winman. It would have scored you 4.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- And How I Live Now... - How I Live Now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01..by Meg Rosoff and that would have scored you 12.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, When God Was A Rabbit was the best answer on the board.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Thank you very much. At the end of our first round,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08the pair heading home with a high score of 145 is
0:17:08 > 0:17:11one of our returning pairs from the head-to-head, last time,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Mary and Nicola.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16but I'm afraid, it is your time. 145, we can't argue with that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Thank you so much for playing, been lovely having you on the show.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Mary and Nicola.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27But for the remaining three pairs, is now time for Round Two.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Well done, everyone. We've made it to Round Two.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Only one more round until we can start playing as teams
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and confer before giving answers, which is exciting.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Africa. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:48 > 0:17:49who's going to go second?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05..as they could.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Mainland African countries without a Mediterranean coast. Richard.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yes, we are looking for any country on the African mainland -
0:18:12 > 0:18:13so that's no island nations.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Any country on the mainland that has no Mediterranean coast, please.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:18:18 > 0:18:21that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Thank you very much indeed. Now, Dean.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I was trying to brush up on this, actually, before we came.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'm going to go with Chad.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Chad, says Dean.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Chad. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chad.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37HE EXHALES It's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Good answer. 23.
0:18:45 > 0:18:4723 for Chad.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well played, Dean. Nice start. Yeah, long way from the Mediterranean.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Chad.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Thank you very much, Richard. Emily.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I hope this hasn't got a coast.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- I love the name of this country, Lesotho.- Lesotho.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Or le-soo-too. Lesotho. Yeah, let's see if that's right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lesotho.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, 23 is our only score so far
0:19:13 > 0:19:15and you pass it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Look at that! 10.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well done, Emily.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19A lovely low score there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Nothing even further from the Mediterranean.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25If you book a Mediterranean coast with a stop-off in Lesotho,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- then you need to talk to your travel agent.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30That is going to seriously inconvenience you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31A lot of air miles for that, though.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Yeah, you are essentially going to have to fly, trai...
0:19:34 > 0:19:35All sorts of things to get there.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Thank you very much indeed. Matt.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40This is a bit of a gamble cos my geography is not great on Africa
0:19:40 > 0:19:44where things are, but I'm just going to risk Burundi.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Burundi, says Matt. Burundi. We are getting a nod from Emily there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Let's see if Burundi is right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Burundi.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5623 is our high score,
0:19:56 > 0:19:5710 is our low.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You pass 23.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You pass 10. It's 1!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Very well done, Matt.
0:20:05 > 0:20:081 for Burundi.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That's a terrific answer, Matt. Very well played.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yeah, it's in Africa, it's on the mainland,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14doesn't have a Mediterranean coast. Boom!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Absolutely nailed it.- There we are. Thank you. Well, we are halfway
0:20:17 > 0:20:19through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:19 > 0:20:211 over there on the far podium.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23The signs are good, Matt and Leanne.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I think you will make it to the head-to-head.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Then up to 10 where we find Emily and Lara
0:20:27 > 0:20:29and then up to 23, Dean and Gerald.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31No shame in 23, but you are ahead.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Gerald, we need a low score from you when we come down to your turn.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good luck with that. Going to come back down the line.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44So, Leanne, remember, mainland African countries
0:20:44 > 0:20:47that do not have a Mediterranean coast.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm really scared now that this is going to actually be
0:20:51 > 0:20:54a Mediterranean coast one, but I really hope it's not. Djibouti.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Djibouti. Djibouti, says Leanne.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Here is your red line.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01I can't see what sort of look
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Matt has given Leanne there.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05That sort of look. Aah!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07OK, well, let's see if Djibouti is right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Djibouti.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- It's right.- Oh, sorry. - SHE EXHALES
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Take that look back, Matt. Djibouti...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You are through to the next round
0:21:20 > 0:21:21and you score 2.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Look at that! The far podium are on fire over there.
0:21:24 > 0:21:263 is your total. Very well done.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That's a brilliant answer. One of the loveliest named countries
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- in the world is Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa.- There we are.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Djibouti. Lara.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37What would you like to go for? If you can score 12 or less...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39you are definitely in to the head-to-head.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44This may have a coast, but I'm pretty sure it's not Mediterranean.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, I'm going to go with Swaziland.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Swaziland, says Lara. Swaziland. Here's your red line.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51If you can get below that red line
0:21:51 > 0:21:52with Swaziland, you are through
0:21:52 > 0:21:53to the head-to-head.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Swaziland.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You've done it!
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Look at that. 5 for Swaziland.
0:22:08 > 0:22:1015 is your total. You are into the head-to-head.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Very good scoring going on now.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Another completely landlocked country, Swaziland.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Its nearest water would be the Indian Ocean.- Uh!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20That's a quite a long way from the hotel to the beach.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, it really... I mean, they have a shuttle bus.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Yeah.- It leaves every ten minutes, but takes 17 hours.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Now, Gerald, I'm so sorry to tell you this,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35but you are the high-scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I'm sorry. - And I was going to say Djibouti.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- But that's gone, so I'm going to say Namibia.- Namibia, says Gerald.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Namibia. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you are the high-scorers even now.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's right.
0:22:57 > 0:22:5817.
0:22:58 > 0:23:0017 for Namibia, taking your total up to 40.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Yeah, way down south, Namibia.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Now, there is actually no pointless answers at all,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08just to put into context what an amazing scores 3 is
0:23:08 > 0:23:10on that last podium. I will take you to the lowest scores.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13There's three countries that would have scored 1.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14We've heard Burundi from Matt.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17You also could have had Benin or Equatorial Guinea.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Those are the one-pointers and then the two-point answers -
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Guinea-Bissau,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Gabon and of course, Djibouti. So, terrific score, 3 points.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'll give you another few of the low-scorers.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Togo would have scored you 3.
0:23:30 > 0:23:346 for Cameroon, seven for Eritrea and Guinea. 9 for South Sudan.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3510 for Liberia and Angola.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Now, there's 43 countries on this list
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and I'd have to go quite a long way,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I'd have to read over 30 countries
0:23:42 > 0:23:45before I got to Central African Republic,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47which scores 18.
0:23:47 > 0:23:5218 points. The 11th highest scorer in all of Africa.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- How about... How times have changed! - I know!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Wow!- Isn't that amazing?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00At the end of our second round,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02the pair heading home with a high score of 40...
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's not a high score at all,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06but it just happens to be our highest score.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07It is Gerald and Dean.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09On the strength of your performance today, though.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'm sure when we see you next time, we will see much, much more of you.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- But meantime, thanks very much. Gerald and Dean. BOTH:- Thank you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Congratulations, Leanne and Matt, Lara and Emily.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You are now one step closer to the final
0:24:30 > 0:24:32and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:32 > 0:24:33which currently stands at...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Well, you know the story.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37This is where you start playing as a team,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39so you can pool your knowledge at this point.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42And the first player to win two questions will be playing
0:24:42 > 0:24:44for that jackpot. This should be very, very close.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47So best of luck both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:24:59 > 0:25:01BAFTA-winning programmes. Richard.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02We're going to show you five visual clues
0:25:02 > 0:25:05to the titles of TV programmes that have won BAFTAs.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07You just need to tell us the most obscure, please.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12We have got...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44There we are.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Five visual clues to BAFTA-winning TV programmes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Leanne and Matt, you will go first as you are the low-scorers.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53THEY WHISPER
0:25:56 > 0:25:59OK, we know, like, four, I think.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01And we are going to go for C
0:26:01 > 0:26:02and Horizon.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Horizon, say Leanne and Matt. Horizon.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now, Lara and Emily, do you want to have a bit of fun
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and talk us through that board?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So, E could be Cold Feet.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12D, I was thinking...
0:26:12 > 0:26:13There was a...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Wasn't there like a drama
0:26:15 > 0:26:17about a vicar who solved murders?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- And he'd be Father something?- No.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That's what it would be a church?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Let's go with E. Yeah, go on.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- We will go E - Cold Feet. - E - Cold Feet.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29So, we have Horizon and we have Cold Feet.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Leanne and Matt went for Horizon.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Let's see how many agree with them for C - Horizon.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43That's a good answer.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Look at that! 5 for Horizon.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Yeah.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Very well done indeed, Leanne and Matt.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Now, Lara and Emily have decided that E is Cold Feet.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Cold Feet.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Not bad. 29.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11But Horizon pips it. Well done, Leanne and Matt.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- After one question, you're up one-nil.- Well played.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- I didn't get Horizon at all. Did you?- I got Horizon.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- That was very impressive. - I'm struggling with A, though.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- All right, we'll get to A last, shall we?- OK.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Well, B is of course...
0:27:21 > 0:27:22- Cracker.- Cracker.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25That would've scored 30 points.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's a very elegant cracker, that.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I hadn't realised quite how... - Thank you. I baked it myself.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I insist all these photographs we have
0:27:32 > 0:27:34are things that I have built myself.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I also built this building in D.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38What, the Broadchurch?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41The Broadchurch, yeah. Absolutely. Would've scored 16 points.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Got a good groan from the audience as well.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- That's the width of three churches. - I know! It really is a broad church,
0:27:46 > 0:27:47to be fair. It took me such a long time.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- I won't even do scale models cos I don't believe in it.- No?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So, actually, I've been at that for the last 27 years.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Lovely, though. Pulled it down straightaway.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Just didn't have planning permission.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Now, A is a pointless answer
0:28:00 > 0:28:03and it is so obvious.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04The Bill.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, no! AUDIENCE GROANS
0:28:07 > 0:28:09ALEX SIGHS Lord.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Very well done if you got that at home.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- The Bill!- That's put the cat among the puffins, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- The Bill.- There we go. Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Lara and Emily, you get to answer it first,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck with that.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It concerns...
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Football songs. Richard.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Going to give you abbreviations,
0:28:33 > 0:28:34initial letters of five football songs
0:28:34 > 0:28:36that have reached the UK top 40.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Can you tell us what they are, please?- Oh, phew! I thought they
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- were going to be like terrace chants.- No, no, we wouldn't do that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45OK, let's reveal our five sets of initials and here they come.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47We've got...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I'll read those again.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Lara and Emily, you will go first.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Do you know the other ones? - World In Motion.- Huh?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- World In Motion.- Should we go for that?- No, that's quite a popular...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27We are going to go with Ant & Dec,
0:29:27 > 0:29:28We're On The Ball.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30We're On The Ball, say Lara and Emily. We're On The Ball.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Now, Leanne and Matt, do you want to talk us
0:29:32 > 0:29:34through those other football songs?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36We were going to say We're On The Ball...
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- I didn't know that, but she got that.- We know the one above it
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- and the one below it. - Vindaloo, above
0:29:40 > 0:29:43and New Order one is World In Motion,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45which I think we're going to have to go for
0:29:45 > 0:29:47cos I'm not sure of the top and bottom one.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48OK, World In Motion.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51So, we have We're On The Ball and World In Motion.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Lara and Emily went for We're On The Ball.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Look at that! 18 for We're On The Ball.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Very well done indeed, Lara and Emily.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Good answer. Leanne and Matt have gone for World In Motion
0:30:11 > 0:30:12for England New Order.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21HE WHISPERS
0:30:21 > 0:30:2449 for World In Motion.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Well done, Lara and Emily back in the game.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- After two questions, it is one-all. - Yeah, very well played.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31That song won a Pointless jackpot recently, didn't it,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- We're On The Ball?- So it did. - The Ant & Dec category.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37V, you are right, is Vindaloo.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Fat Les, that's a big scorer, though, that would have scored 53.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Now, the top one, Scottish fans will know, the A is Ally MacLeod
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and it is Ally's Tartan Army
0:30:46 > 0:30:48and that would've scored you 12.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50And the bottom one is the best answer on the board.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52And it is Arsenal's cover version of...?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- Hot Stuff.- Hot Stuff.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, it would have scored you 2 points.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57The cover version of the Donna Summer song, Hot Stuff,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00but instead of singing "hot stuff", they sing "Arsenal".
0:31:00 > 0:31:02LAUGHTER
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Ouch.- Yeah, ouch.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07If I had a red card, I would show it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10OK, here comes your third question.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Whoever wins this one goes to the final
0:31:12 > 0:31:14and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15It concerns...
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Roger Moore. Richard.- Simply five clues to facts about Roger Moore.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Whichever team gives us the best answer is going through
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- to play for the jackpot. - OK, let's reveal our five
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Roger Moore facts and here they come...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'll read those one last time.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Leanne and Matt will go first.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04Excellent stuff.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06THEY CHUCKLE
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Right. We know zero of them.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10I think we should go for the top.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12We're going to have to gamble
0:32:12 > 0:32:13and go for the decade in which
0:32:13 > 0:32:15he was born in the '40s.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- You're going to go with the '40s? - The audience love that.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22The audience loved that, don't they?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24A couple of intakes of breath.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27The '40s. I'll tell you what, Roger Moore will like that as well.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29LAUGHTER
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Lara and Emily, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I know of James Bond films.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36So, we could just take a guess.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38His final one.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- A View To A Kill?- No.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44From Russia With Love.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47From Russia With Love, his final James Bond film.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49From Russia With Love. OK.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Well, let's try those out, shall we?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Leanne and Matt have gone for the 1940s,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56the decade in which he was born. Let's see if that's right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01No.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Lara and Emily have gone for From Russia With Love
0:33:03 > 0:33:05for his final James Bond film.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's see if that's right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11No!
0:33:12 > 0:33:16There we are. Well, after three questions it's one-all.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- That went that went pretty well, I think. - LAUGHTER
0:33:19 > 0:33:21What was the other Bond film you mentioned?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- A View To A Kill. - Is a correct answer.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It would've scored you 10 points, would've seen you in the jackpot
0:33:26 > 0:33:28round as well. You might've had more luck going for decades
0:33:28 > 0:33:31cos there were fewer decades than there are Bond films.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33That was the 1920s, he was born in.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Born in 1927, Richard Moore.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Would've scored to 11 points.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40The name of the character was...?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Simon Templar.- Simon Templar.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Would've scored you 40 points. This is tough.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- The year in which his first Bond film was released?- 1978.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- '73.- Oh, '73.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Yeah, 5 points for that. And the Walter Scott character?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Ivanhoe.- Yeah, Ivanhoe.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57And that would've scored you 21.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00So, the best answer on the board is 1973.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your fourth question.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06This is the decider. When I said it was last one, I was lying.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09LAUGHTER Best of luck. It concerns...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Things found on a building site. Richard.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Going to show you five anagrams of things found on a building site
0:34:16 > 0:34:18and if one of you gives us a correct answer,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20you may well be going through to play for that jackpot.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five anagrams
0:34:23 > 0:34:24and here they come. We have got...
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'll read those one last time.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Lara and Emily go first.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:34:48 > 0:34:49- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Ex metric men - cement mixer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Cement mixer, say Lara and Emily. Cement mixer.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Now then, Leanne and Matt,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59do you want to go through them?
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Tool box at the top,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03the second one is sledgehammer.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Probably go with that, I think.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Yeah.- OK. Sledgehammer.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10So, cement mixer and sledgehammer. Lara and Emily said cement mixer.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2043.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2343 for cement mixer.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Leanne and Matt, meanwhile, have gone for sledgehammer.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32It's right!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It has to beat 43...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36and it does.
0:35:36 > 0:35:3734.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Very well done.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Leanne and Matt, after four questions,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44you are through to the final, two-one.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Very close there. Well played, both teams.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49There's a couple of answers that would've won you the point.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Not the top one. That, of course, tool box. It's quite a big scorer.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Would've scored you 67. The next biggest scorer is the bottom there.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Do you know that - a brew howler?
0:35:59 > 0:36:00It's a wheelbarrow.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01- Yes, it would be.- Wheelbarrow.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0217 points for that.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04The best answer, though, is -
0:36:04 > 0:36:05inlaid plectrum.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I know some people at home would have got it.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You are going to be very pleased with yourself if you just said...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- pneumatic drill. - Oh, for heaven's sake.- No way!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- 3 points for that.- Silent P.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I'm afraid, it's Lara and Emily. It's very good news for us, though,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24cos it means we get to see you again next time.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Otherwise, you would have gone straight to the final
0:36:26 > 0:36:28and that would have been it, all over in one show.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30But we look forward to that very much.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Thanks for playing. Lara and Emily.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37But for Leanne and Matt, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Well done, Leanne and Matt. You've fought off all the competition
0:36:46 > 0:36:49very convincingly and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:37:00 > 0:37:04There it is. Anything you want to see come up in this last round?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Well, we met at art college,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10so that's where we met and anything to do with...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Like, modern, young British artists, I guess, would be quite good.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- YBAs.- But I really like music. I'd really like music.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Stronger on music.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18OK. Well, best of luck.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Let's hope there's something on that board you like the look of today.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Our selection looks like this...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- (I guess I would have to pick...) - Yeah, it's got to be the top one,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- obviously, I think.- Yeah.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- 21st-century comeback albums. - There we go. Richard.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41OK, very best of luck. Remind us, you told us a lovely story last time
0:37:41 > 0:37:43about when Matt proposed. What song was playing?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45It was Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Guns N' Roses, OK, I asked for no reason.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Let's take a look at your three questions. - LAUGHTER
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We are looking for any tracks on The Magic Whip by Blur,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55their comeback album in 2015.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58We are looking for any tracks from Beautiful World by Take Back,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00their comeback album from 2006.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02We are looking for any tracks from Chinese Democracy
0:38:02 > 0:38:03by Guns N' Roses,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- their comeback album from 2008.- Oh!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08So, tracks from the original releases of Magic Whip,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Beautiful World or Chinese Democracy, please.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13There we are. Thank you very much. Now as always,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18All you need to win that jackpot is just one of your answers to
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH:- Yes.- Good.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Let's put 60 seconds
0:38:22 > 0:38:23up on the clock.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24There they are your time starts now.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26OK, so you've just bought
0:38:26 > 0:38:27the new Blur album.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28I just went to see them last week.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Have you been listening to it? - I've listened to it a little bit.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- OK.- There's one called Ong Ong.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Ong Ong, that's big. That's quite well known.- OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- There's Lonesome Street, but that's also a single.- OK.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41From Chinese Democracy some of the ones towards the end of the album
0:38:41 > 0:38:43are Shackler's Revenge and IRS.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Is that a name for the American,
0:38:46 > 0:38:47- like, version of...- Like the HMRC.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- ..the Inland Revenue. IRS.- I think.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51I think that's what it's called.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52I think it's, like, track 11,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54so it could be good.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Haven't listened to the album
0:38:55 > 0:38:56since it came out
0:38:56 > 0:38:57cos it's not ideal.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01So, what have you got for Blur?
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Lonesome Street and Ong Ong. I'm just trying to think of some other,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08like, album track ones off of it, but...
0:39:09 > 0:39:10I don't know.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Let's go Ong Ong, Lonesome Street...
0:39:12 > 0:39:14No, IRS and Shackler's Revenge.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1510 seconds left.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18OK, so Ong Ong, Shackler's Revenge, and whatever.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- OK.- Yeah. - I can't remember any of the others.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22OK, well.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- OK, we're done.- OK, there we are.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26You are done, there is your time up.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30I loved that, "I think it's, like, track 11 or something on the album."
0:39:30 > 0:39:32What are your three answers going to be?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- So you go with Blur's Ong Ong. - Ong Ong.- Ong Ong.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'm going to go for Shackler's Revenge.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Shackler's Revenge from...? - From Chinese Democracy.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- Chinese Democracy. - And IRS from Chinese Democracy.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44And IRS from Chinese Democracy.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Now of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Probably IRS.- IRS goes last.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Ong Ong cos I've heard of...
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Leanne's favourite band is Blur, she should have known...
0:39:56 > 0:39:59So, Ong Ong, we will put least likely and then Shackler's Revenge
0:39:59 > 0:40:00- in the middle.- Yeah.- OK.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Well, let's pop those up on the board in that order
0:40:02 > 0:40:04and here they are. We've got...
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Now, let's just imagine one of those,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17at least one of those, is pointless, could easily be,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19what would you do with that money, Leanne?
0:40:20 > 0:40:25I think the last time we went on holiday together was about 2010
0:40:25 > 0:40:29or something, so I think, we'd quite like to get out of the country.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Hear Djibouti is nice this time of year.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- LAUGHTER - Or Burundi.- Very nice.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Yeah, one of those.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Matt, anything else you want to add to that?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41No. Yeah, we haven't been away for ages
0:40:41 > 0:40:43and we might try to get over...
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- I don't think we've ever left Europe.- No.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Ong Ong.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51In this case, we were looking for tracks from The Magic Whip by Blur.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53This is one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Let's find out if it is. If it is, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Let's see how many people said Ong Ong.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Now, if this goes all the way down
0:41:06 > 0:41:08to zero, you leave here with £1,000.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Ong Ong now takes us through
0:41:10 > 0:41:11the teens into single figures.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Yes, down it goes.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Still going down, still going down.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16You've done it!
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Very well done. First answer.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Well done you. That's brilliant. Fantastic.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Well, you made that look very, very easy indeed.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Ong Ong, a fantastic answer. It was pointless.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Who knows, the other answers may have been pointless too.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39We'll find out from Richard when we turn to him,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41but that does mean, Ong Ong, that you leave here with
0:41:41 > 0:41:43that jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Very, very well played, Leanne and Matt. Terrific stuff.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Shackler's Revenge would have scored you 1 point.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57And IRS...
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- pointless answer. - APPLAUSE
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I'll tell you what, not only was it a pointless answer,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08it was track 11 on the album as well.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- LAUGHTER - Very well done.- Mega fan.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Let's take a look at the pointless answers. We will start with Blur.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Another one you mentioned,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Lonesome Street was actually a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19There's Ong Ong, Pyongyang, There Are Too Many Of Us.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You also could have had Mirrorball and Thought I Was A Spaceman.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Oh, yeah.- Those were the pointless answers on that album.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Let's go to Take That.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28I'd Wait For Life, that was a single.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Reach Out, the first track on the album.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31What You Believe In, Wooden Boat.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Could also have had Ain't No Sense In Love,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Like I Never Loved You At All and Mancunian Way.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36All of those were pointless.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And Guns N' Roses - Madagascar,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Sorry, Street Of Dreams, There Was A Time.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43You also could have had If The World,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Riad N' The Bedouins, Scraped and This I love.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Very, very well played if you got any of those at home.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Leanne and Matt, you've been fantastic throughout.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Congratulations on getting the jackpot
0:42:52 > 0:42:54and also congratulations for making Roger Moore's day.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57LAUGHTER
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Thanks very much and thanks, once again, to our winning players
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Leanne and Matt who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Brilliant.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye.
