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

0:00:220:00:24

and welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure

0:00:240:00:27

and ignore the obvious. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:270:00:30

-And couple number one.

-Hello, I'm Mary.

0:00:340:00:37

I'm from Midsomer Norton, near Bath

0:00:370:00:38

and this my daughter Nicola and she's from Postcombe, near Thame.

0:00:380:00:42

Couple number two.

0:00:420:00:43

Hello, I'm Dean. I'm from Wakefield.

0:00:430:00:45

And this is my friend Gerald. He's from Hull.

0:00:450:00:48

-Couple number three.

-Hello, I'm Emily.

0:00:480:00:50

This is my sister Lara and we're both from Mid Wales.

0:00:500:00:53

Couple number four.

0:00:530:00:54

Hi, my name is Matt and this is my fiancee Leanne

0:00:540:00:56

and we are from London.

0:00:560:00:58

And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE

0:00:580:01:01

A very warm welcome to you all. Thank you for all that.

0:01:020:01:04

We'll find out more about each of you

0:01:040:01:06

throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:060:01:07

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:070:01:10

Preparing for a gritty reboot in which he'll be played by Matt Damon,

0:01:100:01:13

it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:130:01:15

Hiya.

0:01:150:01:17

Hi, everybody.

0:01:170:01:18

-Good afternoon to you.

-And to you.

0:01:190:01:21

Now a few shows ago, our jackpot was up over £8,000, wasn't it?

0:01:210:01:24

-I know.

-Now we've had it won twice in a row.

-I know.

0:01:240:01:26

And quite often they go in runs, don't they?

0:01:260:01:28

We see three or four in a row go, so it could be a good day to be here.

0:01:280:01:31

I mean, not a hugely profitable day, but a good day.

0:01:310:01:34

Better to win £1,000, than nothing, isn't it?

0:01:340:01:36

-Indeed.

-That's what I always say. Got two returning pairs

0:01:360:01:38

from the last time, we've got Nicola and Mary.

0:01:380:01:40

Got through to the head-to-head. Welcome back.

0:01:400:01:42

And Leanne and Matt also joining us.

0:01:420:01:44

Got through to Round Two, so two good pairings back today.

0:01:440:01:48

Very good. Well, thanks very much, Richard.

0:01:480:01:50

Now, Tim and Monica won the jackpot last time,

0:01:500:01:53

so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.

0:01:530:01:56

Right. If everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.

0:01:560:01:59

So, just remember, the pair with the highest

0:02:040:02:06

score at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:060:02:09

That is all you need to remember. Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:02:090:02:12

Our first category this afternoon is...

0:02:120:02:15

Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:02:170:02:19

who was going to go first, who is going to go second?

0:02:190:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:24

OK. And the question concerns...

0:02:260:02:29

-World Book Night books.

-Yeah, we've had World Book Night

0:02:330:02:36

since 2011 and every year, they suggest a series of books.

0:02:360:02:38

On each pass, we're going to show you seven titles of books

0:02:380:02:41

that have featured in World Book Night.

0:02:410:02:42

We missed out one word from their titles.

0:02:420:02:44

Can you fill in that word, please?

0:02:440:02:46

There's 14 in all to have a go in at home, so very best of luck.

0:02:460:02:49

Thanks very much indeed.

0:02:490:02:50

So, what are the words that complete these titles?

0:02:500:02:53

Here's our first board of seven...

0:02:530:02:54

I'll read those one last time.

0:03:090:03:11

-There we are. Now, Nicola, welcome back. Head-to-head, last time.

-Yeah.

0:03:250:03:29

Did very well. Now, remind us what you do, Nicola.

0:03:290:03:31

I'm a mum, a stay-at-home mum, I've got two little boys

0:03:310:03:34

who are three and five.

0:03:340:03:36

-And you live in Oxfordshire?

-I do, yeah.

0:03:360:03:38

And apart from little boys, what keeps you busy?

0:03:380:03:40

We've recently got a camper van, so we go away quite a lot at weekends

0:03:400:03:44

and yeah, that's really good fun. They love that.

0:03:440:03:47

-Is it a vintage camper van?

-No, it's not.

0:03:470:03:49

It's one of the new ones. It looks a bit more like a...

0:03:490:03:51

-That's quite nice, though, isn't it? It's a bit more reliable.

-Yeah.

0:03:510:03:54

And it's really... It's got everything inside it.

0:03:540:03:56

-It's really good, yeah.

-Very nice.

0:03:560:03:58

Now, Nicola, what would you like

0:03:580:04:00

to go for on this board?

0:04:000:04:01

OK, there are a few that I know

0:04:010:04:02

and one that I'm a little bit unsure

0:04:020:04:04

of, so I think I'll go for one

0:04:040:04:06

that I definitely know, which is...

0:04:060:04:08

The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.

0:04:080:04:10

Brodie, says Nicola. Brodie.

0:04:100:04:12

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

0:04:120:04:15

It's right.

0:04:180:04:19

61.

0:04:210:04:23

Not bad, not bad. 61.

0:04:230:04:25

Yeah, and a wonderful novel to start the show with as well.

0:04:250:04:27

-Anything Muriel Spark writes is worth reading.

-Hm.

0:04:270:04:31

Gerald, a very warm welcome to Pointless.

0:04:310:04:33

Great to have you here. From Hull.

0:04:330:04:34

-That's right.

-Now, what do you do, Gerald?

0:04:340:04:36

I'm the creative arts director at Bridgeview Whitehouse School,

0:04:360:04:39

which is a special school for children

0:04:390:04:41

who would struggle in a mainstream setting.

0:04:410:04:44

I see. And as creative arts director, what do you do?

0:04:440:04:47

Well, we inject lots of drama, dance, music.

0:04:470:04:51

Really effective ways of engaging our children into learning.

0:04:510:04:54

Very good. What you do when you're not doing...?

0:04:540:04:57

I mean, is that something that fills quite a lot of your time?

0:04:570:04:59

It does, but when I'm not doing that, I play the ukulele

0:04:590:05:02

and the piano and I'm also churchwarden at my local church.

0:05:020:05:06

So, that's...a very time-consuming job.

0:05:060:05:08

-A time-consuming and full life there, Gerald.

-Yes.

0:05:080:05:11

OK, now, what would you like

0:05:110:05:12

to go for on this board?

0:05:120:05:14

Right, I wish...

0:05:150:05:16

There's a few there.

0:05:160:05:17

I think I'm going

0:05:170:05:18

to go for The Remains Of The Day.

0:05:180:05:20

The Remains Of The Day, says Gerald.

0:05:200:05:22

Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Gerald,

0:05:220:05:24

The Remains Of The Day.

0:05:240:05:26

Well, you pass 61.

0:05:300:05:32

50, for The Remains Of The Day.

0:05:320:05:34

Well played, Gerald. Yeah, it won the Booker Prize in 1989.

0:05:370:05:40

-Don't you think Gerald has a lovely air about him?

-He has.

0:05:400:05:42

Sort of kind but authoritative.

0:05:420:05:44

I think if you were stranded in a desert, and you're thinking,

0:05:440:05:47

you're looking around you, then Gerald started speaking,

0:05:470:05:49

you'd think, "Oh, we'll be all right.

0:05:490:05:51

-"I think we're all going to be OK."

-"It's all fine."

0:05:510:05:53

-Then Gerald picks up his ukulele, and you think...

-Oh, no, no.

0:05:530:05:56

"..I wonder." Thanks very much indeed.

0:05:560:05:59

-Emily, a warm welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

0:05:590:06:01

-Great to have you here from Mid Wales.

-Yes.

0:06:010:06:03

-Whereabouts in Mid Wales?

-In Powys.

0:06:030:06:06

-In pow-ess.

-However you say it.

-Very good and what do you do, Emily?

0:06:060:06:09

-I'm a teacher.

-What do you teach?

-Uh...

0:06:090:06:11

-I don't want to say now. English...

-LAUGHTER

0:06:110:06:15

-..history as well.

-Right, you are.

0:06:150:06:16

What are your interests aside from teaching?

0:06:160:06:19

Can I say that Benedict Cumberbatch is an interest? Is that OK?

0:06:190:06:23

-How much of an interest?

-Pretty big one.

-Pretty substantial interest?

0:06:230:06:26

-Yeah.

-Have you met the Cumberbatch?

-I have.

0:06:260:06:29

-Several times?

-Uh...

0:06:290:06:31

-Once that he knows of.

-LAUGHTER

0:06:310:06:34

-That sounds really bad.

-OK.

0:06:340:06:36

Now Emily, what would you like to go for?

0:06:360:06:39

I was going to go

0:06:390:06:40

for Remains Of The Day.

0:06:400:06:41

I want to go for another one,

0:06:410:06:43

but the name of the author

0:06:430:06:44

is putting me off a little bit.

0:06:440:06:45

I don't know if that also wrote

0:06:450:06:46

that particular book.

0:06:460:06:48

I'll go really safe

0:06:480:06:49

and go with Casino Royale.

0:06:490:06:51

Casino Royale.

0:06:510:06:53

OK, three quite safe answers, we've had so far, this round.

0:06:530:06:56

Let's see where Casino Royale gets you down the column.

0:06:560:06:58

Ooh, dear, Emily. I thought it might be that.

0:07:020:07:04

That's a high one.

0:07:040:07:06

Yes, that is so safe, it's dangerous.

0:07:060:07:08

-93.

-That's so safe, it wouldn't actually be allowed

0:07:080:07:11

in a real casino. I...

0:07:110:07:14

For your sake, I hope the next round is not history.

0:07:140:07:16

LAUGHTER

0:07:160:07:18

And I hope this round you're not, as well.

0:07:180:07:20

LAUGHTER

0:07:200:07:22

-Leanne.

-Hello.

-Leanne, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Leanne.

0:07:220:07:27

I'm in PA office manager at a marketing company in central London.

0:07:270:07:31

-And what are your interests, Leanne?

-I love music.

0:07:310:07:34

I like going to gigs whenever I can, collecting vinyl records.

0:07:340:07:39

We also accidentally, last year, managed to foster a cat.

0:07:390:07:44

-Do you think it belonged to someone or do you think...?

-It...

0:07:440:07:47

We were supposed to look after it for month

0:07:470:07:49

and then she never reclaimed her cat.

0:07:490:07:50

So, now we have a cat.

0:07:500:07:52

-She's a...

-Oh, I see. So, it's kind of official

0:07:520:07:54

and then owner did a runner.

0:07:540:07:56

Canada.

0:07:560:07:57

LAUGHTER

0:07:570:07:59

It's a good name for a cat. Yeah, why not?

0:07:590:08:01

Really? Never came back from Canada? Cor!

0:08:010:08:04

Leanne, this board is all yours.

0:08:040:08:06

Do you want to talk us through it

0:08:060:08:07

and fill in those blanks?

0:08:070:08:08

The top one is, obviously, Pride And Prejudice,

0:08:080:08:10

Not going to go for that.

0:08:100:08:11

The second one is the one I'm going to go for, which is Cloud Atlas.

0:08:110:08:14

Cloud Atlas, says Leanne.

0:08:140:08:15

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

0:08:150:08:18

Well, it's right. Will this break below the 50 mark?

0:08:210:08:24

Yes, it will. Well done.

0:08:240:08:27

The first risk taken

0:08:270:08:29

this round, I would say.

0:08:290:08:30

21 for Cloud Atlas, Leanne.

0:08:300:08:32

Well played, Leanne. Yeah, another great book.

0:08:320:08:34

Not that David Mitchell, of course.

0:08:340:08:36

-The other David Mitchell.

-Not that David Mitchell.

-Yeah.

0:08:360:08:39

Although David Mitchell in his lovely story,

0:08:390:08:41

back story, in his autobiography,

0:08:410:08:43

he says how David Miliband came up to him on Primrose Hill

0:08:430:08:46

-and congratulated him so forcibly on Cloud Atlas.

-Really?

0:08:460:08:50

He didn't really have the heart to say,

0:08:500:08:52

"Oh, thank you, but it wasn't me." So, he just took... Lapped it up.

0:08:520:08:55

I think he was so flattered that David Miliband knew

0:08:550:08:58

who he was or at least knew that his name was David Mitchell.

0:08:580:09:00

I would've said to him, "I'm a big fan of your dad, Glenn Miliband."

0:09:000:09:03

LAUGHTER

0:09:030:09:07

-Emily, which is the one you were worried about there?

-That one.

0:09:080:09:11

-Oh, that one.

-I thought it was that David Mitchell, so it...

-Got you.

0:09:110:09:15

Well, let's fill in the rest of these.

0:09:150:09:16

Pride And Prejudice, it actually scores less than Casino Royale.

0:09:160:09:21

It was 82 points. The Blind...

0:09:210:09:24

-Assassin.

-Yeah, Margaret Atwood,

0:09:240:09:26

wonderful book. 13 points.

0:09:260:09:28

And the best answer on the board, the bottom one there,

0:09:280:09:30

it is Rivers Of London.

0:09:300:09:32

-Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch.

-There we go.

0:09:320:09:35

Very good. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:09:350:09:37

We're halfway through the round.

0:09:370:09:39

Let's take a look at those scores. Well done, Leanne.

0:09:390:09:41

The best score of that pass was yours. 21.

0:09:410:09:43

You and Matt, looking strong at this point.

0:09:430:09:45

We travel all the way up to 50 where we find Gerald and Dean.

0:09:450:09:47

Up to 61, Nicola and Mary.

0:09:470:09:49

And the 93, Emily and Lara.

0:09:490:09:52

Now Lara, remember the Rivers Of London?

0:09:520:09:54

That's the kind of level at which we need your next answer to score.

0:09:540:09:57

So, very, very good luck with that.

0:09:570:09:59

Let's hope we can find a nice obscure one that you know.

0:09:590:10:01

Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.

0:10:010:10:04

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:040:10:06

OK, we're going to put seven more book titles up on the board

0:10:080:10:10

and here they are.

0:10:100:10:11

I'll read those all one last time.

0:10:290:10:30

Matt. Now, welcome back, Matt.

0:10:480:10:50

We discovered last time you are a sign writer.

0:10:500:10:52

-Yeah, blackboard artist and sign writer.

-See, that's fun.

0:10:520:10:55

How long have you done that for?

0:10:550:10:57

Only about three years, self-employed.

0:10:570:11:00

I went to art college and obviously, when you leave art college,

0:11:000:11:04

-you've got nowhere to go.

-Or everywhere to go.

0:11:040:11:06

That's the trouble. You could go anywhere.

0:11:060:11:07

Yeah, you could. I did.

0:11:070:11:08

I had about ten random jobs. I was a bailiff, lifeguard...

0:11:080:11:11

-Oh! Talk us through some of your random jobs.

-A bailiff, lifeguard.

0:11:110:11:15

Not at the same time. That would be difficult, wouldn't it?

0:11:150:11:17

You could do. I could be a lifeguard in the day,

0:11:170:11:19

then kick people out of their houses at night.

0:11:190:11:21

Yeah, so I went on to become a manager of an off-licence

0:11:210:11:24

and they had all these pens and paints behind the counter

0:11:240:11:27

and I started drawing champagne bottles and A-boards outside.

0:11:270:11:31

And then one day a lady walked past

0:11:310:11:33

and asked who did that and she took me on as her apprentice

0:11:330:11:36

-cos she was a professional sign writer.

-That's nice!

0:11:360:11:38

So, then the shop shut down and I gave her a call.

0:11:380:11:41

And then the next day, I was sort of in overalls drawing,

0:11:410:11:44

painting things black and drawing lines for her for a year.

0:11:440:11:46

-It was pretty hard, but now I...

-And three years in, there you are.

0:11:460:11:49

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

0:11:490:11:51

-All right, Matt, you are on 21.

-Good.

0:11:510:11:53

Lovely, low score from Leanne.

0:11:530:11:54

So, yes, if you can score

0:11:540:11:56

71 or less, you are definitely

0:11:560:11:57

into the next round.

0:11:570:11:59

OK, I'm not going to try and push it

0:11:590:12:01

too far cos Leanne did so well,

0:12:010:12:03

but I'm going to try to gauge

0:12:030:12:05

in the middle and I'm going to go

0:12:050:12:07

with Love In The Time Of Cholera.

0:12:070:12:08

Cholera, says Matt.

0:12:080:12:10

Cholera. Here's your red line.

0:12:100:12:12

I think you should get below that, but let's see.

0:12:120:12:14

Love In The Time Of Cholera, is it right? How many people said it?

0:12:140:12:17

Very well done indeed.

0:12:200:12:21

15.

0:12:250:12:26

Lowest score so far.

0:12:260:12:28

Matt, very well done.

0:12:280:12:29

36 is your total, through you go.

0:12:290:12:31

-Well played, Matt.

-Safely through, yeah.

0:12:310:12:33

Won the Nobel prize in literature in 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

0:12:330:12:36

One of those people who you think,

0:12:360:12:37

"Oh, he's going to be much too highbrow for me."

0:12:370:12:39

When you read him, he's actually very accessible.

0:12:390:12:42

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:12:420:12:43

Lara, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:12:430:12:46

-Now, what do you do, Lara?

-I'm a civil servant.

0:12:460:12:50

Can I ask which department in or would you rather not say?

0:12:500:12:52

-I work in a prison.

-I see.

0:12:520:12:55

And what do you do when you're not working in a prison, Lara?

0:12:550:12:57

I like to go to the gym, quite a lot.

0:12:570:13:01

Me and Emily go to Zumba together, Zumba classes.

0:13:010:13:04

And I like to bake.

0:13:040:13:07

-Hm. Any particular thing you are very good at baking?

-Cheesecake.

0:13:070:13:11

Oh, now you're talking! Cheesecake.

0:13:110:13:13

-I found a very good, new baked cheesecake recipe.

-Very nice.

0:13:130:13:17

Now, look, Lara, we can't get away from this any longer.

0:13:170:13:20

You are the high-scorers.

0:13:200:13:21

What we need is a dazzlingly low score from you.

0:13:210:13:25

Yeah, well there's four

0:13:250:13:26

-that I know...

-Sounds good.

0:13:260:13:28

I'm just trying to pick

0:13:280:13:30

which one would be the lowest.

0:13:300:13:32

I think I'm going to go with

0:13:320:13:34

The Time Traveller's Wife.

0:13:340:13:36

OK, The Time Traveller's Wife, says Lara.

0:13:360:13:38

No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.

0:13:380:13:40

Let's see how many people agree with Lara with Time Traveller's Wife.

0:13:400:13:43

It's right.

0:13:450:13:46

Not bad. 49.

0:13:490:13:51

Is it enough to keep you

0:13:520:13:53

in the game? 142 is your total.

0:13:530:13:55

Well played, Lara. Given yourself a chance there.

0:13:550:13:58

Yeah, published in 2003.

0:13:580:14:00

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:14:000:14:01

-Now Dean, warm welcome to you.

-Thank you.

0:14:010:14:04

-What do you do up in Wakefield, Dean?

-So, I'm an actor.

0:14:040:14:08

So, I do lots of small-scale touring theatre,

0:14:080:14:11

lots of work in schools

0:14:110:14:12

and I do lots of work with children as well,

0:14:120:14:15

so going in different schools, teaching them drama.

0:14:150:14:17

Summer school projects, mainly.

0:14:170:14:19

It is so vital, that, I have to say.

0:14:190:14:21

Because those are touring companies that come in.

0:14:210:14:23

I remember we had a touring company that came to school,

0:14:230:14:25

primary school, and we all just loved it.

0:14:250:14:27

-It was one of the best days of that year.

-Mm-hm.

0:14:270:14:30

-Yeah, that's it.

-It just gets so many people excited.

0:14:300:14:32

What are your interests outside of that?

0:14:320:14:35

So, I like to keep fit, I don't go to the gym at all any more.

0:14:350:14:39

I do a really good workout programme at home.

0:14:390:14:42

Is it Lara and Emily doing Zumba? LAUGHTER

0:14:420:14:44

That would be good. That would probably be easier.

0:14:440:14:47

So, this one, you are dripping wet by the end of it,

0:14:470:14:49

so that's why I don't go to the gym any more.

0:14:490:14:51

OK, well. Listen, you are on 50.

0:14:510:14:52

The high-scorers at the moment are Emily and Lara on 142.

0:14:520:14:55

-91 or less gets you through.

-Yeah.

0:14:550:14:57

How are we feeling, Dean?

0:14:570:14:59

So, I know three.

0:14:590:15:02

Out of the three that I know,

0:15:020:15:04

I'm going to go for...

0:15:040:15:05

It will have to be Girl With A Pearl Earring.

0:15:050:15:08

Girl With A Pearl Earring, says Dean.

0:15:080:15:10

How many people agree with Dean?

0:15:100:15:12

There is your red line.

0:15:120:15:14

It's right and you are through. Well done.

0:15:140:15:16

60 is your total.

0:15:180:15:19

Taking your total up to 110.

0:15:190:15:21

Famously turned into a film with Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson.

0:15:220:15:26

Thanks very much indeed.

0:15:260:15:27

-She played the girl.

-Oh, she played the girl(?)

-Yeah.

0:15:270:15:29

Colin, of course, the earring. LAUGHTER

0:15:290:15:32

-Mary, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Welcome back.

0:15:320:15:35

-Now, Midsomer Norton.

-Yes.

0:15:350:15:37

-Is that theoretically where the murders take place?

-Nowhere near.

0:15:370:15:41

-No.

-Are we sure?

-Yes.

-It's a lovely name for a village.

-It is, yes.

0:15:410:15:45

-Even in midwinter, it must feel...warm.

-No.

0:15:450:15:49

Remind us what you do, Mary.

0:15:500:15:52

I'm retired now, but I was a school administrator.

0:15:520:15:54

You're school administrator and you did that for a number of years?

0:15:540:15:57

Yes, 16 years, yeah.

0:15:570:15:58

Now Mary, you are on 61,

0:15:580:16:00

the high-scorers, still Lara and Emily.

0:16:000:16:02

They are on 142,

0:16:020:16:03

so 80 or less gets you through.

0:16:030:16:05

Do you want to talk us

0:16:050:16:06

through this board?

0:16:060:16:07

Not really, no.

0:16:070:16:08

THEY LAUGH

0:16:080:16:09

There is one I definitely know

0:16:090:16:11

and there is one that I...

0:16:110:16:13

I'm not sure of.

0:16:130:16:14

I don't know the other two,

0:16:140:16:16

so I'm going to go with The Tale Of Two Cities.

0:16:160:16:19

OK, Tale Of Two Cities, says Mary. Here is your red line.

0:16:190:16:22

Nice and high. If you can get below that, with Cities,

0:16:220:16:24

you are through to Round Two.

0:16:240:16:26

Ooh!

0:16:300:16:31

84, Mary.

0:16:310:16:34

145 is your total.

0:16:340:16:36

Yeah, sorry, Mary. The top one would have seen you through.

0:16:390:16:42

Is that the one you thought you knew?

0:16:420:16:44

Yeah, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.

0:16:440:16:45

'Course it is. Yeah, you did know it.

0:16:450:16:47

77 that would have scored, you'd be in the second round if you said it.

0:16:470:16:50

-You know either of the bottom two?

-When God Was A Rabbit.

0:16:500:16:52

-Is that right?

-It was When God Was A Rabbit.

0:16:520:16:54

Yeah, by Sarah Winman. It would have scored you 4.

0:16:540:16:57

-And How I Live Now...

-How I Live Now.

0:16:570:16:59

..by Meg Rosoff and that would have scored you 12.

0:16:590:17:01

So, When God Was A Rabbit was the best answer on the board.

0:17:010:17:03

Thank you very much. At the end of our first round,

0:17:030:17:06

the pair heading home with a high score of 145 is

0:17:060:17:08

one of our returning pairs from the head-to-head, last time,

0:17:080:17:11

Mary and Nicola.

0:17:110:17:12

Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you,

0:17:120:17:14

but I'm afraid, it is your time. 145, we can't argue with that.

0:17:140:17:16

Thank you so much for playing, been lovely having you on the show.

0:17:160:17:19

Mary and Nicola.

0:17:190:17:21

But for the remaining three pairs, is now time for Round Two.

0:17:240:17:27

Well done, everyone. We've made it to Round Two.

0:17:320:17:35

Only one more round until we can start playing as teams

0:17:350:17:37

and confer before giving answers, which is exciting.

0:17:370:17:40

Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:17:400:17:43

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

0:17:450:17:48

who's going to go second?

0:17:480:17:49

Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:490:17:51

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:17:540:17:56

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:17:560:18:00

..as they could.

0:18:040:18:05

Mainland African countries without a Mediterranean coast. Richard.

0:18:050:18:09

Yes, we are looking for any country on the African mainland -

0:18:090:18:12

so that's no island nations.

0:18:120:18:13

Any country on the mainland that has no Mediterranean coast, please.

0:18:130:18:16

As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state

0:18:160:18:18

that is a member of the UN in its own right.

0:18:180:18:21

Thank you very much indeed. Now, Dean.

0:18:210:18:24

I was trying to brush up on this, actually, before we came.

0:18:240:18:27

I'm going to go with Chad.

0:18:270:18:29

Chad, says Dean.

0:18:290:18:30

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

0:18:300:18:33

HE EXHALES It's right.

0:18:350:18:37

Good answer. 23.

0:18:410:18:42

23 for Chad.

0:18:450:18:47

Well played, Dean. Nice start. Yeah, long way from the Mediterranean.

0:18:470:18:50

Chad.

0:18:500:18:51

Thank you very much, Richard. Emily.

0:18:510:18:54

I hope this hasn't got a coast.

0:18:540:18:57

-I love the name of this country, Lesotho.

-Lesotho.

0:18:570:19:01

Or le-soo-too. Lesotho. Yeah, let's see if that's right.

0:19:010:19:04

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

0:19:040:19:06

Well, 23 is our only score so far

0:19:110:19:13

and you pass it.

0:19:130:19:15

Look at that! 10.

0:19:150:19:16

Well done, Emily.

0:19:160:19:18

A lovely low score there.

0:19:180:19:19

Nothing even further from the Mediterranean.

0:19:200:19:23

If you book a Mediterranean coast with a stop-off in Lesotho,

0:19:230:19:25

-then you need to talk to your travel agent.

-Yeah.

0:19:250:19:27

That is going to seriously inconvenience you.

0:19:270:19:30

A lot of air miles for that, though.

0:19:300:19:31

Yeah, you are essentially going to have to fly, trai...

0:19:310:19:34

All sorts of things to get there.

0:19:340:19:35

Thank you very much indeed. Matt.

0:19:350:19:37

This is a bit of a gamble cos my geography is not great on Africa

0:19:370:19:40

where things are, but I'm just going to risk Burundi.

0:19:400:19:44

Burundi, says Matt. Burundi. We are getting a nod from Emily there.

0:19:440:19:47

Let's see if Burundi is right.

0:19:470:19:49

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

0:19:490:19:51

It's right.

0:19:530:19:54

23 is our high score,

0:19:540:19:56

10 is our low.

0:19:560:19:57

You pass 23.

0:19:570:19:59

You pass 10. It's 1!

0:19:590:20:01

Very well done, Matt.

0:20:030:20:05

1 for Burundi.

0:20:050:20:08

That's a terrific answer, Matt. Very well played.

0:20:080:20:10

Yeah, it's in Africa, it's on the mainland,

0:20:100:20:12

doesn't have a Mediterranean coast. Boom!

0:20:120:20:14

-Absolutely nailed it.

-There we are. Thank you. Well, we are halfway

0:20:140:20:17

through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:20:170:20:19

1 over there on the far podium.

0:20:190:20:21

The signs are good, Matt and Leanne.

0:20:210:20:23

I think you will make it to the head-to-head.

0:20:230:20:26

Then up to 10 where we find Emily and Lara

0:20:260:20:27

and then up to 23, Dean and Gerald.

0:20:270:20:29

No shame in 23, but you are ahead.

0:20:290:20:31

Gerald, we need a low score from you when we come down to your turn.

0:20:310:20:34

Good luck with that. Going to come back down the line.

0:20:340:20:36

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:20:360:20:38

So, Leanne, remember, mainland African countries

0:20:410:20:44

that do not have a Mediterranean coast.

0:20:440:20:47

OK.

0:20:470:20:48

I'm really scared now that this is going to actually be

0:20:480:20:51

a Mediterranean coast one, but I really hope it's not. Djibouti.

0:20:510:20:54

Djibouti. Djibouti, says Leanne.

0:20:540:20:57

Here is your red line.

0:20:570:21:00

I can't see what sort of look

0:21:000:21:01

Matt has given Leanne there.

0:21:010:21:03

That sort of look. Aah!

0:21:030:21:05

OK, well, let's see if Djibouti is right.

0:21:050:21:07

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

0:21:070:21:10

-It's right.

-Oh, sorry.

-SHE EXHALES

0:21:120:21:15

Take that look back, Matt. Djibouti...

0:21:150:21:18

You are through to the next round

0:21:180:21:20

and you score 2.

0:21:200:21:21

Look at that! The far podium are on fire over there.

0:21:210:21:24

3 is your total. Very well done.

0:21:240:21:26

That's a brilliant answer. One of the loveliest named countries

0:21:260:21:28

-in the world is Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa.

-There we are.

0:21:280:21:31

Djibouti. Lara.

0:21:310:21:34

What would you like to go for? If you can score 12 or less...

0:21:340:21:37

you are definitely in to the head-to-head.

0:21:370:21:39

This may have a coast, but I'm pretty sure it's not Mediterranean.

0:21:390:21:44

So, I'm going to go with Swaziland.

0:21:440:21:46

Swaziland, says Lara. Swaziland. Here's your red line.

0:21:460:21:49

If you can get below that red line

0:21:490:21:51

with Swaziland, you are through

0:21:510:21:52

to the head-to-head.

0:21:520:21:53

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

0:21:530:21:56

You've done it!

0:22:030:22:05

Look at that. 5 for Swaziland.

0:22:050:22:06

15 is your total. You are into the head-to-head.

0:22:080:22:10

Very good scoring going on now.

0:22:100:22:12

Another completely landlocked country, Swaziland.

0:22:120:22:15

-Its nearest water would be the Indian Ocean.

-Uh!

0:22:150:22:18

That's a quite a long way from the hotel to the beach.

0:22:180:22:20

Yeah, it really... I mean, they have a shuttle bus.

0:22:200:22:23

-Yeah.

-It leaves every ten minutes, but takes 17 hours.

0:22:230:22:27

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:22:270:22:29

Now, Gerald, I'm so sorry to tell you this,

0:22:290:22:31

but you are the high-scorers even before you've given your answer.

0:22:310:22:35

-I'm sorry.

-And I was going to say Djibouti.

0:22:350:22:38

-But that's gone, so I'm going to say Namibia.

-Namibia, says Gerald.

0:22:390:22:42

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

0:22:420:22:45

No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you are the high-scorers even now.

0:22:450:22:48

It's right.

0:22:500:22:51

17.

0:22:570:22:58

17 for Namibia, taking your total up to 40.

0:22:580:23:00

Yeah, way down south, Namibia.

0:23:020:23:03

Now, there is actually no pointless answers at all,

0:23:030:23:06

just to put into context what an amazing scores 3 is

0:23:060:23:08

on that last podium. I will take you to the lowest scores.

0:23:080:23:10

There's three countries that would have scored 1.

0:23:100:23:13

We've heard Burundi from Matt.

0:23:130:23:14

You also could have had Benin or Equatorial Guinea.

0:23:140:23:17

Those are the one-pointers and then the two-point answers -

0:23:170:23:20

Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Guinea-Bissau,

0:23:200:23:23

Gabon and of course, Djibouti. So, terrific score, 3 points.

0:23:230:23:26

I'll give you another few of the low-scorers.

0:23:260:23:28

Togo would have scored you 3.

0:23:280:23:30

6 for Cameroon, seven for Eritrea and Guinea. 9 for South Sudan.

0:23:300:23:34

10 for Liberia and Angola.

0:23:340:23:35

Now, there's 43 countries on this list

0:23:350:23:37

and I'd have to go quite a long way,

0:23:370:23:39

I'd have to read over 30 countries

0:23:390:23:42

before I got to Central African Republic,

0:23:420:23:45

which scores 18.

0:23:450:23:47

18 points. The 11th highest scorer in all of Africa.

0:23:470:23:52

-How about... How times have changed!

-I know!

0:23:520:23:55

-Wow!

-Isn't that amazing?

0:23:550:23:57

There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:23:570:23:59

At the end of our second round,

0:23:590:24:00

the pair heading home with a high score of 40...

0:24:000:24:02

It's not a high score at all,

0:24:020:24:04

but it just happens to be our highest score.

0:24:040:24:06

It is Gerald and Dean.

0:24:060:24:07

On the strength of your performance today, though.

0:24:070:24:09

I'm sure when we see you next time, we will see much, much more of you.

0:24:090:24:12

-But meantime, thanks very much. Gerald and Dean. BOTH:

-Thank you.

0:24:120:24:15

But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.

0:24:170:24:20

Congratulations, Leanne and Matt, Lara and Emily.

0:24:250:24:28

You are now one step closer to the final

0:24:280:24:30

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:24:300:24:32

which currently stands at...

0:24:320:24:33

Well, you know the story.

0:24:340:24:36

This is where you start playing as a team,

0:24:360:24:37

so you can pool your knowledge at this point.

0:24:370:24:39

And the first player to win two questions will be playing

0:24:390:24:42

for that jackpot. This should be very, very close.

0:24:420:24:44

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

0:24:440:24:47

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:24:520:24:57

BAFTA-winning programmes. Richard.

0:24:590:25:01

We're going to show you five visual clues

0:25:010:25:02

to the titles of TV programmes that have won BAFTAs.

0:25:020:25:05

You just need to tell us the most obscure, please.

0:25:050:25:07

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

0:25:070:25:11

We have got...

0:25:110:25:12

There we are.

0:25:420:25:44

Five visual clues to BAFTA-winning TV programmes.

0:25:440:25:47

Leanne and Matt, you will go first as you are the low-scorers.

0:25:470:25:50

THEY WHISPER

0:25:500:25:53

OK, we know, like, four, I think.

0:25:560:25:59

And we are going to go for C

0:25:590:26:01

and Horizon.

0:26:010:26:02

Horizon, say Leanne and Matt. Horizon.

0:26:020:26:04

Now, Lara and Emily, do you want to have a bit of fun

0:26:040:26:07

and talk us through that board?

0:26:070:26:09

So, E could be Cold Feet.

0:26:090:26:11

D, I was thinking...

0:26:110:26:12

There was a...

0:26:120:26:13

Wasn't there like a drama

0:26:130:26:15

about a vicar who solved murders?

0:26:150:26:17

-And he'd be Father something?

-No.

0:26:170:26:19

That's what it would be a church?

0:26:190:26:21

Let's go with E. Yeah, go on.

0:26:210:26:22

-We will go E - Cold Feet.

-E - Cold Feet.

0:26:220:26:26

So, we have Horizon and we have Cold Feet.

0:26:260:26:29

Leanne and Matt went for Horizon.

0:26:290:26:31

Let's see how many agree with them for C - Horizon.

0:26:310:26:33

That's a good answer.

0:26:420:26:43

Look at that! 5 for Horizon.

0:26:430:26:44

Yeah.

0:26:460:26:47

Very well done indeed, Leanne and Matt.

0:26:480:26:50

Now, Lara and Emily have decided that E is Cold Feet.

0:26:500:26:54

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

0:26:540:26:57

Not bad. 29.

0:27:050:27:06

But Horizon pips it. Well done, Leanne and Matt.

0:27:080:27:11

-After one question, you're up one-nil.

-Well played.

0:27:110:27:13

-I didn't get Horizon at all. Did you?

-I got Horizon.

0:27:130:27:15

-That was very impressive.

-I'm struggling with A, though.

0:27:150:27:18

-All right, we'll get to A last, shall we?

-OK.

0:27:180:27:19

Well, B is of course...

0:27:190:27:21

-Cracker.

-Cracker.

0:27:210:27:22

That would've scored 30 points.

0:27:230:27:25

It's a very elegant cracker, that.

0:27:250:27:27

-I hadn't realised quite how...

-Thank you. I baked it myself.

0:27:270:27:30

I insist all these photographs we have

0:27:300:27:32

are things that I have built myself.

0:27:320:27:34

I also built this building in D.

0:27:340:27:37

What, the Broadchurch?

0:27:370:27:38

The Broadchurch, yeah. Absolutely. Would've scored 16 points.

0:27:380:27:41

Got a good groan from the audience as well.

0:27:410:27:43

-That's the width of three churches.

-I know! It really is a broad church,

0:27:430:27:46

to be fair. It took me such a long time.

0:27:460:27:47

-I won't even do scale models cos I don't believe in it.

-No?

0:27:470:27:50

So, actually, I've been at that for the last 27 years.

0:27:500:27:54

Lovely, though. Pulled it down straightaway.

0:27:540:27:56

Just didn't have planning permission.

0:27:560:27:58

Now, A is a pointless answer

0:27:580:28:00

and it is so obvious.

0:28:000:28:03

The Bill.

0:28:030:28:04

Oh, no! AUDIENCE GROANS

0:28:040:28:06

ALEX SIGHS Lord.

0:28:070:28:09

Very well done if you got that at home.

0:28:090:28:11

-The Bill!

-That's put the cat among the puffins, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:28:130:28:16

-The Bill.

-There we go. Thanks very much indeed.

0:28:180:28:20

OK, here comes your second question.

0:28:200:28:21

Lara and Emily, you get to answer it first,

0:28:210:28:23

but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck with that.

0:28:230:28:26

It concerns...

0:28:260:28:28

Football songs. Richard.

0:28:300:28:31

Going to give you abbreviations,

0:28:310:28:33

initial letters of five football songs

0:28:330:28:34

that have reached the UK top 40.

0:28:340:28:36

-Can you tell us what they are, please?

-Oh, phew! I thought they

0:28:360:28:38

-were going to be like terrace chants.

-No, no, we wouldn't do that.

0:28:380:28:41

OK, let's reveal our five sets of initials and here they come.

0:28:410:28:45

We've got...

0:28:460:28:47

I'll read those again.

0:29:000:29:02

Lara and Emily, you will go first.

0:29:100:29:13

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:29:130:29:15

-Do you know the other ones?

-World In Motion.

-Huh?

0:29:180:29:21

-World In Motion.

-Should we go for that?

-No, that's quite a popular...

0:29:210:29:25

We are going to go with Ant & Dec,

0:29:250:29:27

We're On The Ball.

0:29:270:29:28

We're On The Ball, say Lara and Emily. We're On The Ball.

0:29:280:29:30

Now, Leanne and Matt, do you want to talk us

0:29:300:29:32

through those other football songs?

0:29:320:29:34

We were going to say We're On The Ball...

0:29:340:29:36

-I didn't know that, but she got that.

-We know the one above it

0:29:360:29:38

-and the one below it.

-Vindaloo, above

0:29:380:29:40

and New Order one is World In Motion,

0:29:400:29:43

which I think we're going to have to go for

0:29:430:29:45

cos I'm not sure of the top and bottom one.

0:29:450:29:47

OK, World In Motion.

0:29:470:29:48

So, we have We're On The Ball and World In Motion.

0:29:480:29:51

Lara and Emily went for We're On The Ball.

0:29:510:29:52

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

0:29:520:29:55

Look at that! 18 for We're On The Ball.

0:30:030:30:04

Very well done indeed, Lara and Emily.

0:30:040:30:08

Good answer. Leanne and Matt have gone for World In Motion

0:30:080:30:11

for England New Order.

0:30:110:30:12

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

0:30:120:30:15

HE WHISPERS

0:30:190:30:21

49 for World In Motion.

0:30:210:30:24

Well done, Lara and Emily back in the game.

0:30:240:30:26

-After two questions, it is one-all.

-Yeah, very well played.

0:30:260:30:29

That song won a Pointless jackpot recently, didn't it,

0:30:290:30:31

-We're On The Ball?

-So it did.

-The Ant & Dec category.

0:30:310:30:34

V, you are right, is Vindaloo.

0:30:340:30:37

Fat Les, that's a big scorer, though, that would have scored 53.

0:30:370:30:40

Now, the top one, Scottish fans will know, the A is Ally MacLeod

0:30:400:30:43

and it is Ally's Tartan Army

0:30:430:30:46

and that would've scored you 12.

0:30:460:30:48

And the bottom one is the best answer on the board.

0:30:480:30:50

And it is Arsenal's cover version of...?

0:30:500:30:52

-Hot Stuff.

-Hot Stuff.

0:30:520:30:53

Yeah, it would have scored you 2 points.

0:30:530:30:55

The cover version of the Donna Summer song, Hot Stuff,

0:30:550:30:57

but instead of singing "hot stuff", they sing "Arsenal".

0:30:570:31:00

LAUGHTER

0:31:000:31:02

-Ouch.

-Yeah, ouch.

0:31:020:31:05

If I had a red card, I would show it.

0:31:050:31:07

OK, here comes your third question.

0:31:080:31:10

Whoever wins this one goes to the final

0:31:100:31:12

and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.

0:31:120:31:14

It concerns...

0:31:140:31:15

-Roger Moore. Richard.

-Simply five clues to facts about Roger Moore.

0:31:180:31:22

Whichever team gives us the best answer is going through

0:31:220:31:24

-to play for the jackpot.

-OK, let's reveal our five

0:31:240:31:27

Roger Moore facts and here they come...

0:31:270:31:29

I'll read those one last time.

0:31:440:31:46

Leanne and Matt will go first.

0:32:000:32:03

Excellent stuff.

0:32:030:32:04

THEY CHUCKLE

0:32:040:32:06

Right. We know zero of them.

0:32:060:32:09

I think we should go for the top.

0:32:090:32:10

We're going to have to gamble

0:32:100:32:12

and go for the decade in which

0:32:120:32:13

he was born in the '40s.

0:32:130:32:15

-You're going to go with the '40s?

-The audience love that.

0:32:180:32:20

The audience loved that, don't they?

0:32:200:32:22

A couple of intakes of breath.

0:32:220:32:24

The '40s. I'll tell you what, Roger Moore will like that as well.

0:32:240:32:27

LAUGHTER

0:32:270:32:29

Lara and Emily, do you want to talk us through that board?

0:32:290:32:32

I know of James Bond films.

0:32:320:32:34

So, we could just take a guess.

0:32:340:32:36

His final one.

0:32:360:32:38

-A View To A Kill?

-No.

0:32:380:32:40

From Russia With Love.

0:32:420:32:44

From Russia With Love, his final James Bond film.

0:32:440:32:47

From Russia With Love. OK.

0:32:470:32:49

Well, let's try those out, shall we?

0:32:490:32:51

Leanne and Matt have gone for the 1940s,

0:32:510:32:53

the decade in which he was born. Let's see if that's right.

0:32:530:32:56

No.

0:32:590:33:01

Lara and Emily have gone for From Russia With Love

0:33:010:33:03

for his final James Bond film.

0:33:030:33:05

Let's see if that's right.

0:33:050:33:07

No!

0:33:090:33:11

There we are. Well, after three questions it's one-all.

0:33:120:33:16

-That went that went pretty well, I think.

-LAUGHTER

0:33:160:33:19

What was the other Bond film you mentioned?

0:33:190:33:21

-A View To A Kill.

-Is a correct answer.

0:33:210:33:23

It would've scored you 10 points, would've seen you in the jackpot

0:33:230:33:26

round as well. You might've had more luck going for decades

0:33:260:33:28

cos there were fewer decades than there are Bond films.

0:33:280:33:31

That was the 1920s, he was born in.

0:33:310:33:33

Born in 1927, Richard Moore.

0:33:330:33:35

Would've scored to 11 points.

0:33:350:33:37

The name of the character was...?

0:33:370:33:40

-Simon Templar.

-Simon Templar.

0:33:400:33:42

Would've scored you 40 points. This is tough.

0:33:420:33:44

-The year in which his first Bond film was released?

-1978.

0:33:440:33:48

-'73.

-Oh, '73.

0:33:480:33:50

Yeah, 5 points for that. And the Walter Scott character?

0:33:500:33:53

-Ivanhoe.

-Yeah, Ivanhoe.

0:33:530:33:56

And that would've scored you 21.

0:33:560:33:57

So, the best answer on the board is 1973.

0:33:570:34:00

Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your fourth question.

0:34:000:34:03

This is the decider. When I said it was last one, I was lying.

0:34:030:34:06

LAUGHTER Best of luck. It concerns...

0:34:060:34:09

Things found on a building site. Richard.

0:34:110:34:13

Going to show you five anagrams of things found on a building site

0:34:130:34:16

and if one of you gives us a correct answer,

0:34:160:34:18

you may well be going through to play for that jackpot.

0:34:180:34:20

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five anagrams

0:34:200:34:23

and here they come. We have got...

0:34:230:34:24

I'll read those one last time.

0:34:310:34:33

Lara and Emily go first.

0:34:380:34:39

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:34:410:34:43

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:34:480:34:49

Ex metric men - cement mixer.

0:34:490:34:52

Cement mixer, say Lara and Emily. Cement mixer.

0:34:520:34:55

Now then, Leanne and Matt,

0:34:550:34:57

do you want to go through them?

0:34:570:34:59

Tool box at the top,

0:34:590:35:00

the second one is sledgehammer.

0:35:000:35:03

Probably go with that, I think.

0:35:030:35:05

-Yeah.

-OK. Sledgehammer.

0:35:050:35:07

So, cement mixer and sledgehammer. Lara and Emily said cement mixer.

0:35:070:35:10

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

0:35:100:35:12

43.

0:35:190:35:20

43 for cement mixer.

0:35:220:35:23

Leanne and Matt, meanwhile, have gone for sledgehammer.

0:35:230:35:26

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

0:35:260:35:28

It's right!

0:35:300:35:32

It has to beat 43...

0:35:320:35:34

and it does.

0:35:340:35:36

34.

0:35:360:35:37

Very well done.

0:35:390:35:40

Leanne and Matt, after four questions,

0:35:400:35:42

you are through to the final, two-one.

0:35:420:35:44

Very close there. Well played, both teams.

0:35:440:35:46

There's a couple of answers that would've won you the point.

0:35:460:35:49

Not the top one. That, of course, tool box. It's quite a big scorer.

0:35:490:35:53

Would've scored you 67. The next biggest scorer is the bottom there.

0:35:530:35:56

Do you know that - a brew howler?

0:35:560:35:59

It's a wheelbarrow.

0:35:590:36:00

-Yes, it would be.

-Wheelbarrow.

0:36:000:36:01

17 points for that.

0:36:010:36:02

The best answer, though, is -

0:36:020:36:04

inlaid plectrum.

0:36:040:36:05

I know some people at home would have got it.

0:36:050:36:07

You are going to be very pleased with yourself if you just said...

0:36:070:36:10

-pneumatic drill.

-Oh, for heaven's sake.

-No way!

0:36:100:36:13

-3 points for that.

-Silent P.

0:36:130:36:15

Thank you very much indeed.

0:36:150:36:16

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:36:160:36:19

I'm afraid, it's Lara and Emily. It's very good news for us, though,

0:36:190:36:22

cos it means we get to see you again next time.

0:36:220:36:24

Otherwise, you would have gone straight to the final

0:36:240:36:26

and that would have been it, all over in one show.

0:36:260:36:28

But we look forward to that very much.

0:36:280:36:30

Thanks for playing. Lara and Emily.

0:36:300:36:32

But for Leanne and Matt, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:340:36:37

Well done, Leanne and Matt. You've fought off all the competition

0:36:420:36:46

very convincingly and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:460:36:49

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:36:550:36:57

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...

0:36:570:37:00

There it is. Anything you want to see come up in this last round?

0:37:000:37:04

Well, we met at art college,

0:37:040:37:07

so that's where we met and anything to do with...

0:37:070:37:10

Like, modern, young British artists, I guess, would be quite good.

0:37:100:37:13

-YBAs.

-But I really like music. I'd really like music.

0:37:130:37:15

Stronger on music.

0:37:150:37:17

OK. Well, best of luck.

0:37:170:37:18

Let's hope there's something on that board you like the look of today.

0:37:180:37:21

Our selection looks like this...

0:37:210:37:23

-(I guess I would have to pick...)

-Yeah, it's got to be the top one,

0:37:300:37:33

-obviously, I think.

-Yeah.

0:37:330:37:35

-21st-century comeback albums.

-There we go. Richard.

0:37:350:37:38

OK, very best of luck. Remind us, you told us a lovely story last time

0:37:380:37:41

about when Matt proposed. What song was playing?

0:37:410:37:43

It was Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses.

0:37:430:37:45

Guns N' Roses, OK, I asked for no reason.

0:37:450:37:47

-Let's take a look at your three questions.

-LAUGHTER

0:37:470:37:50

We are looking for any tracks on The Magic Whip by Blur,

0:37:500:37:53

their comeback album in 2015.

0:37:530:37:55

We are looking for any tracks from Beautiful World by Take Back,

0:37:550:37:58

their comeback album from 2006.

0:37:580:38:00

We are looking for any tracks from Chinese Democracy

0:38:000:38:02

by Guns N' Roses,

0:38:020:38:03

-their comeback album from 2008.

-Oh!

0:38:030:38:06

So, tracks from the original releases of Magic Whip,

0:38:060:38:08

Beautiful World or Chinese Democracy, please.

0:38:080:38:10

There we are. Thank you very much. Now as always,

0:38:100:38:13

you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:38:130:38:15

All you need to win that jackpot is just one of your answers to

0:38:150:38:18

-be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH:

-Yes.

-Good.

0:38:180:38:21

Let's put 60 seconds

0:38:210:38:22

up on the clock.

0:38:220:38:23

There they are your time starts now.

0:38:230:38:24

OK, so you've just bought

0:38:240:38:26

the new Blur album.

0:38:260:38:27

I just went to see them last week.

0:38:270:38:28

-Have you been listening to it?

-I've listened to it a little bit.

0:38:280:38:31

-OK.

-There's one called Ong Ong.

0:38:310:38:33

-Ong Ong, that's big. That's quite well known.

-OK.

0:38:330:38:35

-There's Lonesome Street, but that's also a single.

-OK.

0:38:350:38:38

From Chinese Democracy some of the ones towards the end of the album

0:38:380:38:41

are Shackler's Revenge and IRS.

0:38:410:38:43

Is that a name for the American,

0:38:430:38:46

-like, version of...

-Like the HMRC.

0:38:460:38:47

-..the Inland Revenue. IRS.

-I think.

0:38:470:38:50

I think that's what it's called.

0:38:500:38:51

I think it's, like, track 11,

0:38:510:38:52

so it could be good.

0:38:520:38:54

Haven't listened to the album

0:38:540:38:55

since it came out

0:38:550:38:56

cos it's not ideal.

0:38:560:38:57

So, what have you got for Blur?

0:38:590:39:01

Lonesome Street and Ong Ong. I'm just trying to think of some other,

0:39:010:39:05

like, album track ones off of it, but...

0:39:050:39:08

I don't know.

0:39:090:39:10

Let's go Ong Ong, Lonesome Street...

0:39:100:39:12

No, IRS and Shackler's Revenge.

0:39:120:39:14

10 seconds left.

0:39:140:39:15

OK, so Ong Ong, Shackler's Revenge, and whatever.

0:39:150:39:18

-OK.

-Yeah.

-I can't remember any of the others.

0:39:180:39:20

OK, well.

0:39:200:39:22

-OK, we're done.

-OK, there we are.

0:39:220:39:24

You are done, there is your time up.

0:39:240:39:26

I loved that, "I think it's, like, track 11 or something on the album."

0:39:260:39:30

What are your three answers going to be?

0:39:300:39:32

-So you go with Blur's Ong Ong.

-Ong Ong.

-Ong Ong.

0:39:320:39:35

I'm going to go for Shackler's Revenge.

0:39:350:39:37

-Shackler's Revenge from...?

-From Chinese Democracy.

0:39:370:39:40

-Chinese Democracy.

-And IRS from Chinese Democracy.

0:39:400:39:42

And IRS from Chinese Democracy.

0:39:420:39:44

Now of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:440:39:47

-Probably IRS.

-IRS goes last.

0:39:470:39:50

Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:500:39:52

Ong Ong cos I've heard of...

0:39:520:39:53

Leanne's favourite band is Blur, she should have known...

0:39:530:39:56

So, Ong Ong, we will put least likely and then Shackler's Revenge

0:39:560:39:59

-in the middle.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:39:590:40:00

Well, let's pop those up on the board in that order

0:40:000:40:02

and here they are. We've got...

0:40:020:40:04

Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.

0:40:080:40:11

Now, let's just imagine one of those,

0:40:110:40:14

at least one of those, is pointless, could easily be,

0:40:140:40:17

what would you do with that money, Leanne?

0:40:170:40:19

I think the last time we went on holiday together was about 2010

0:40:200:40:25

or something, so I think, we'd quite like to get out of the country.

0:40:250:40:29

Hear Djibouti is nice this time of year.

0:40:290:40:31

-LAUGHTER

-Or Burundi.

-Very nice.

0:40:310:40:34

Yeah, one of those.

0:40:340:40:35

Matt, anything else you want to add to that?

0:40:350:40:38

No. Yeah, we haven't been away for ages

0:40:380:40:41

and we might try to get over...

0:40:410:40:43

-I don't think we've ever left Europe.

-No.

0:40:430:40:45

Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Ong Ong.

0:40:450:40:48

In this case, we were looking for tracks from The Magic Whip by Blur.

0:40:480:40:51

This is one you thought was least likely to be pointless.

0:40:510:40:53

Let's find out if it is. If it is, it'll win you £1,000.

0:40:530:40:57

Let's see how many people said Ong Ong.

0:40:570:40:59

It's right.

0:41:020:41:04

Now, if this goes all the way down

0:41:040:41:06

to zero, you leave here with £1,000.

0:41:060:41:08

Ong Ong now takes us through

0:41:080:41:10

the teens into single figures.

0:41:100:41:11

Yes, down it goes.

0:41:110:41:12

Still going down, still going down.

0:41:120:41:14

You've done it!

0:41:140:41:16

Very well done. First answer.

0:41:160:41:17

Well done you. That's brilliant. Fantastic.

0:41:190:41:21

Well, you made that look very, very easy indeed.

0:41:290:41:31

Ong Ong, a fantastic answer. It was pointless.

0:41:310:41:34

Who knows, the other answers may have been pointless too.

0:41:340:41:37

We'll find out from Richard when we turn to him,

0:41:370:41:39

but that does mean, Ong Ong, that you leave here with

0:41:390:41:41

that jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.

0:41:410:41:43

Very, very well played, Leanne and Matt. Terrific stuff.

0:41:490:41:51

Shackler's Revenge would have scored you 1 point.

0:41:510:41:55

And IRS...

0:41:550:41:57

-pointless answer.

-APPLAUSE

0:41:570:42:00

I'll tell you what, not only was it a pointless answer,

0:42:030:42:05

it was track 11 on the album as well.

0:42:050:42:08

-LAUGHTER

-Very well done.

-Mega fan.

0:42:080:42:10

Let's take a look at the pointless answers. We will start with Blur.

0:42:100:42:14

Another one you mentioned,

0:42:140:42:15

Lonesome Street was actually a pointless answer.

0:42:150:42:17

There's Ong Ong, Pyongyang, There Are Too Many Of Us.

0:42:170:42:19

You also could have had Mirrorball and Thought I Was A Spaceman.

0:42:190:42:22

-Oh, yeah.

-Those were the pointless answers on that album.

0:42:220:42:25

Let's go to Take That.

0:42:250:42:26

I'd Wait For Life, that was a single.

0:42:260:42:28

Reach Out, the first track on the album.

0:42:280:42:30

What You Believe In, Wooden Boat.

0:42:300:42:31

Could also have had Ain't No Sense In Love,

0:42:310:42:33

Like I Never Loved You At All and Mancunian Way.

0:42:330:42:35

All of those were pointless.

0:42:350:42:36

And Guns N' Roses - Madagascar,

0:42:360:42:39

Sorry, Street Of Dreams, There Was A Time.

0:42:390:42:41

You also could have had If The World,

0:42:410:42:43

Riad N' The Bedouins, Scraped and This I love.

0:42:430:42:46

Very, very well played if you got any of those at home.

0:42:460:42:48

Leanne and Matt, you've been fantastic throughout.

0:42:480:42:50

Congratulations on getting the jackpot

0:42:500:42:52

and also congratulations for making Roger Moore's day.

0:42:520:42:54

LAUGHTER

0:42:540:42:57

Thanks very much and thanks, once again, to our winning players

0:42:570:42:59

Leanne and Matt who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:42:590:43:03

Brilliant.

0:43:030:43:05

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

0:43:070:43:10

-to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:100:43:13

And it's goodbye for me. Goodbye.
