0:00:14 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- Hello, I'm Paddy, this is my brother, Brendan,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- and we're from Glasgow. - Couple number two.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Aleisha, this is my husband, Tim, and we're from Bristol.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Couple number three.- My name's Bob, this is my son, George,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and we're from Dorking in Surrey.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- And finally, couple number four.- Hi, I'm Julie, this is my friend, Sonia.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53We're from Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55These are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:00A warm welcome to you all, as ever. Thank you very much for that.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08At weekends, he busks by recounting brilliant facts
0:01:08 > 0:01:11for loose change and crisps. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- We've given away four jackpots in a row.- I know.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24We had that £8,500-odd, then gave that away,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and then three more jackpots in a row after that, so four in a row.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Could we make it five today?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We've got two very strong returning pairs, so we may well.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Tim and Aleisha got all the way to the head-to-head
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and Bob and George also got knocked out in the second round
0:01:36 > 0:01:39on that round where we translated Beatles songs into French.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- That was fun.- It was, wasn't it?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Not so much fun for Bob and George, but fun for everyone else.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- It was fun for him, not for me. - Yeah, quite, George.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Should be a cracker and maybe we see five jackpots in a row,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- you never know. Seen it before. - What's our record? Seven?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Seven jackpots in a row.- OK, very good. So, we're nearing that.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Lara and Emily, as you'll have gathered, won the jackpot last time,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07APPLAUSE
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's very simple. All you have to remember is this.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:15 > 0:02:17will be eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:23 > 0:02:24It's a Words round.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37And the question concerns...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Commonly-confused words.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Slightly different to our normal Words rounds.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46On the oxforddictionaries.com website,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48they have a list of commonly-confused words -
0:02:48 > 0:02:50words that are spelt differently but sound the same,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and words that people confuse.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55On each board, we'll show you seven pairs of definitions of those words.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57You just need to give us the words, please.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59There will be seven on each board,
0:02:59 > 0:03:0214 in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04There we are. A brand-new kind of round on Pointless.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We haven't had one like this before. Very exciting.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We are looking for the words that are commonly confused.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Here are their definitions.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38I'll read those one last time.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Now, Brendan, welcome here from Glasgow.- Yes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08What do you do, Brendan?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I've just graduated from the University of Glasgow.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- What were you reading? - Literature.- Very good.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Have you got anything lined up now you've left?- Nothing just now, no.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18I do a wee bit of writing,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21so I'm hoping to get a couple of stories published in a collection.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Very good. What do you like to get up to when you're not writing?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I play a bit of football. I like doing outdoors activities,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30so I volunteer with Community Woodland
0:04:30 > 0:04:34and I've also recently got quite into gardening,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38so I grow my own vegetables, or attempt to grow them anyway.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- What's been the most successful veg so far?- So far has been courgettes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Mmm.- Tried sweetcorn, but it's not really happening.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Hasn't quite worked.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I grew one of those little red courgettes the other day.- Oh, yeah?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52LAUGHTER
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Brendan, what are you going to go for?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I know one or two but I think, because I'm used to doing this,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'll go with the second one and I will say "Draught".
0:05:01 > 0:05:02"Draught", says Brendan.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08It is right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Ooh, 76. APPLAUSE
0:05:11 > 0:05:1476. That is quite high.
0:05:14 > 0:05:1676.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21A pretty big score for "Draught" and, indeed, for "Draft".
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Mmm.- Mmm.- Thanks very much.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Tim, welcome back. Tim, what a performance last time.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Thanks.- Straight through to the head-to-head,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33as our lowest scorers by quite a margin and then, suddenly, 2-0.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You were taken to the cleaners.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Tim, remind us what you do.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm a government communications officer.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And you've done that for how long?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Five years and I was a former journalist.- A former journalist.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Of the two professions, which do you prefer?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Both gave me great enjoyment and challenge...- Tactful.- Thank you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55But since doing the job I do now, I haven't really looked back,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- so I love what I do. - This is a good thing.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Tim, what would you like to go for?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03OK, I have a good idea of a few of those,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05it's just working out which might give me the lowest answer,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08so I think I'll go for the one right at the bottom,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10which I think "Assent".
0:06:10 > 0:06:12"Assent", says Tim.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Let's see if that's right and how many people said "Assent".
0:06:22 > 0:06:2534 for "Assent". APPLAUSE
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Sounds good to me.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well played, Tim.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- If you agree to climb a mountain, you assent to ascent.- That's right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Or if you agree to release a fragrance, which I've just done.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Oh, I wondered what that was and I did not assent to that scent.- No.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Thanks very much indeed. So, George, welcome back.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52It's a pleasure to be with you again.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55We had to say goodbye to you at the end of the second round last time.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58You did indeed. I will study up on my French,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00but this is a nice board.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02This is a better board.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05George, before I plunge you into that board,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08let's just talk a bit about what you do.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I guess my hobby, my love, is, as I said, working for Whizz-Kidz,
0:07:11 > 0:07:16but I spend most of my time studying for a degree in philosophy,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19politics and international relations at Royal Holloway.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21When you finish, George, cos you've been...
0:07:21 > 0:07:25You sort of run Whizz-Kidz, you're the Chair of Whizz-Kidz, aren't you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You do an awful lot of stuff for them.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I have done 300 events so far, so 300 events in five years,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36so I've been lucky enough to meet an awful lot of people
0:07:36 > 0:07:41but it's just a great joy of mine to see the development in others
0:07:41 > 0:07:46and to see the next generation of Tanni Grey-Thompsons,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Frank Gardners, Ade Adepitans come through the ranks
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- and inspire the next generation. - Well, hats off to you, George.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54When you graduate, what do you think you'll go on and do?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Will you stay in that kind of role?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It certainly is in my blood, but I have policy or strategy in mind,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- but we will see.- We will see.- I've got to graduate first.- You have.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I have no doubt you'll do that with flying colours as well.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- George, what do you want to go for on this board?- I know two of those.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The bottom one, "Assent/ Ascent", was what I'd have gone for,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17but I will go "Rough in texture/ route or direction",
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- and say "Coarse". - "Coarse". "Coarse", says George.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Coarse".
0:08:25 > 0:08:29It's right. 76 is our high score, 34 is our low.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Look at that! "Coarse".
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- George!- 14, George. APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Good job you didn't go for "Assent/ Ascent".
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Very good answer indeed.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I used to live in a house that had a sort of very rough carpeting
0:08:44 > 0:08:48outside the loo, so it had a coarse course to the bathroom.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm trying to think of ways to use both words in a sentence.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's quite difficult, but I remembered that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Now, Julie, a very warm welcome to Pointless
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- to you from Haverfordwest.- Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- What do you do, Julie? - I'm a supervisor in a kitchen.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And what do you do when you're allowed out of the kitchen?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I like to enter competitions in magazines. I enter them every week.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Have you ever won?- No.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19LAUGHTER
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Do you ever have any idea...? Have you ever been on a shortlist?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Have you ever got close to winning? I suppose you'll never know.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I don't think so. I've only been doing them 12 years,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- so that's not too bad. - Every week for 12 years.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Keep it up, Julie.- I shall. - You know, one of these days...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35What's been the most exciting thing you haven't yet won?
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- Oh, big holidays, £10,000, lots of things.- Very good.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Well, best of luck with that, Julie. This board's all yours.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47If you want to go through it and fill in all our blanks,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- that would be brilliant.- I know the second one up is "Freeze".
0:09:50 > 0:09:55But I'm going to go for the third one down and say "Horde".
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You're going to say "Horde".
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Julie. "Horde".
0:10:03 > 0:10:04It's right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Not bad at all. 25 for "Horde".
0:10:11 > 0:10:13APPLAUSE
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Well played, Julie.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Between the four of you,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20you got three of the four best answers up on the board.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23There's only one you missed out on and that is the top one,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- which is the best answer of all. Do you know that one?- Um, no.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Anyone?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31"Pour" is the answer. "Pour" and "Pore".
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- That would have scored 8 points. - Oh, yeah.- That's good, isn't it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- "Not moving/ writing materials" is...- Stationary.- Stationary.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44And "Freeze", you're quite right, but you chose the right one,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46in fact, cos "Freeze" would have scored you far more.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Would have scored you 64. - Thank you, Richard.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:10:51 > 0:10:5314 the best score of that pass.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Very well done, George.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Bob and George looking strong on the back of that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:0025 for Julie and Sonia
0:11:00 > 0:11:02and then 34 for Tim and Aleisha. Now, Brendan and Paddy,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05we need to discuss this 76 issue.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07That was a very high score.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm not sure why, it just seemed to appeal to our 100.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12So, Paddy, we need something
0:11:12 > 0:11:15more in the order of what George gave in the next pass.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Best of luck with that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Let's put seven more pairs of definitions up on the board
0:11:26 > 0:11:27and here they are.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I'll read those one last time.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25So, Sonia, a warm welcome to Pointless to you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Also from Haverfordwest. What do you do, Sonia?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I'm a cleaner for Royal Mail.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Very good and how do you and Julie know each other?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Well, Julie's my landlady and good friend.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Landlady/ tenant - that's a relationship we haven't had.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43I'm not sure we have. That's quite a dangerous one, Sonia. Are you sure?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Yeah, yeah.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48She has to put up with me and my partner, so that's a combination.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- So, this is payback for her? - Yeah, basically.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's nice though. She introduced you as her friend.- Yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- So, clearly, you're paying the rent, which is good.- Yeah.- Oh, yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Unless one of us gets 100, I have to leave the house or...?- Or I do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Or she does. - LAUGHTER
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Sonia, what are you going to go for?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09A bit tricky for me, to be honest with you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I think I know three of them on there,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15but I'm going to go for the one that I'm definitely sure of
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and that is a "table in a church" or "to change",
0:13:17 > 0:13:19and that is to "Alter".
0:13:19 > 0:13:22"Alter". You want to score 50 or less with that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There's your red line. If you get below that
0:13:24 > 0:13:26with "Alter", you are through to Round Two.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Let's see how many of our 100 said "Alter".
0:13:34 > 0:13:37That's a high one. APPLAUSE
0:13:37 > 0:13:3977 takes your total up to 102
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and gives Paddy a bit of a lifeline there.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The Spanish royal family got in trouble last year
0:13:44 > 0:13:46for altering their Christmas photograph.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It was King Juan Carlos, his wife and their grandchildren.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51They denied it at first, then it was pointed out
0:13:51 > 0:13:55that King Juan Carlos's leg had been amputated in the photograph
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- cos they'd photoshopped it. - Interesting.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Interesting, eh?- There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now, Bob, welcome back to Pointless.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07We discovered last time that you publish a seismology journal.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Magazine, yes.- What are your interests aside from that?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- What else do you like to get up to? - I play pool.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I won the Dorking Pool League a couple of times.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Hang on, so you play pool in a sort of rather serious way.- It's...
0:14:20 > 0:14:21George finds it hilarious.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It gets you in the pub on Mondays.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I think that's basically why you play pool, on a pub circuit,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- kind of thing. - But you're quite good though?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I like to think so, but...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Around Dorking, I imagine they take their pool quite seriously.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38They do, indeed, yeah. It's quite brutal sometimes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- It's a hotbed, Dorking. Known for its pool.- Oh.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Hence the expression "Dorking pool".
0:14:43 > 0:14:45LAUGHTER
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Bob, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51If you score 87 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I think I know them all.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Um, let's go with "Most important/ rule governing one's behaviour".
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- "Principal".- "Principal" says Bob.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Here's your red line. Get below this with "Principal",
0:15:02 > 0:15:04you're through to the next round.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Well done.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15APPLAUSE
0:15:15 > 0:15:18This is good, Bob. Takes your total up to 29.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Sees you very comfortably into the next round. Well done.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Good answer, Bob. Yeah, "Principal" and "Principle". Safely through.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Thanks, Richard. Now, Aleisha, welcome back.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Remind us what you do.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- I'm a media and communications manager in the NHS.- In the NHS.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35When you're not doing that, what do you get up to?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'm a mum. I've got an 18-month old son,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41so that keeps us very busy and on our toes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Gardening, a bit of yoga, when I can manage it.- Very good indeed.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Aleisha, if you can score 67 or less,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53you are through to the next round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I think I know two, but I am going to play it safe
0:15:56 > 0:15:59because I'm not hugely confident in that board.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02So, I'm going to say "A young deer or mythical being"
0:16:02 > 0:16:04as "Fawn".
0:16:04 > 0:16:07"Fawn". Let's see if that's right. Here's your red line.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Get below that and you're into the next round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Fawn".
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Very well done indeed.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE 69 is your total.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Well played, Aleisha.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Our two returning pairs playing very nicely indeed, aren't they?- Mmm.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- A colour as well, of course, fawn. - There we go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Paddy, finally, finally.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Welcome.- Thank you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Good to have you here. What do you do?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I'm still studying at university, doing history and sociology.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Very good indeed. Richard?- Yeah. - I have a hunch they might be twins.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- You think?- They're brothers, aren't they?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- They're not dressed alike. - Oh, maybe they're not.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Maybe they're not. You're definitely twins, aren't you?- Yes.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Yes.- You are most certainly twins.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's nice of you, Paddy, not to have shaved
0:16:58 > 0:17:02and to have grown the sideburns, cos that makes it a great deal easier.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Because I'm 15 minutes older, so...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I did think that maturity's just sort of coming through.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Sorry, Brendan. Lovely, but Paddy's just...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15At what age did you grow tired of confusing people?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Never.- Never?- No. I'm actually Brendan.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20LAUGHTER
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's the gift that keeps on giving, isn't it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Now, Paddy, you are the last person to have this board,
0:17:26 > 0:17:27so make of it what you will.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30The other board was better for me.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33The top one, I don't know. The other ones...
0:17:33 > 0:17:37The bottom one, I think, would maybe be "Campaign",
0:17:37 > 0:17:39but I don't think that's a type of strong cloth, somehow.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I'll just go for the bottom one,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44"Campaign".
0:17:44 > 0:17:46OK, "Campaign", says Paddy. Here is your red line.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49If you get below that, you are into the next round, but is it right?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51"Campaign".
0:17:53 > 0:17:56No, I'm sorry, Paddy.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm afraid you're right. "Campaign" is not a material.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59That scores you 100 points,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02takes your total up to 176.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Not "Campaign", Paddy. You'll know the answer as soon as I say it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06It's "Canvas".
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- "Canvas" is the answer. - I often know the answers
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- as soon as you say them. - Would have scored 52 points.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Yes, I know. You're very good at that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16The branch of a tree/ front end of a ship?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- "Bough".- "Bough", yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- That would have scored you 63. The next one?- "Breach".
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- "Breach".- I nearly said "Butt". "Butt", in a way.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Yeah.- Yeah, maybe not. - 10 points for that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And "Intentionally unobtrusive/ separate and distinct"?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- "Discreet" and "discrete". - That would have scored 19.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So "Breach" and "Breech" best answer up there.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Thank you very much indeed. At the end of our first round,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42the pair heading home, with our high score of 176,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Paddy and Brendan, I'm sorry to say it is you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- "Canvas". Might you have got that? - I should have.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52It's always hard when the lights are on. When the lights are on?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55LAUGHTER You know what I mean.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Anyway, Paddy, Brendan, we'll see you again next time.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I'm sure you'll do much better then. Thanks for playing.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Great contestants. APPLAUSE
0:19:04 > 0:19:08But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11APPLAUSE
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Well done, everyone.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18You've made it to Round Two, Tim and Aleisha, Bob and George,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22for the second time. Welcome to Round Two, Sonia and Julie.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Special mention to Bob and George for lowest individual score,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28lowest combined score as well. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's Politicians.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:19:49 > 0:19:55as many of the 2015 post-election Conservative cabinet as they could.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58The 2015 post-election cabinet.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01We're looking for the name of any MP or peer who was appointed
0:20:01 > 0:20:05to the Conservative cabinet after the 2015 general election, please.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Aleisha.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- I'm going to say Michael Gove. - Michael Gove, says Aleisha.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Let's see if that's right
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and how many of our 100 people said Michael Gove.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- 24 for Michael Gove.- Lord Chancellor
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- and Secretary of State for Justice. - Who knew?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39And there was a point in 2015
0:20:39 > 0:20:41where he got the same glasses as me.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I don't know what I think about that.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Ah, he may not have the same size as you.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- I'd imagine he'd have a slightly smaller frame.- Maybe smaller.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50They look fairly similar.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- The prescription may be different, I don't know about that.- That's true.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56But certainly the look, the style, is very similar
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and he wears it as if he's the first person ever to think of it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Come off it, Gove.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03LAUGHTER
0:21:03 > 0:21:06George, what would you like to go for?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11I will go for the...Michael Gove's successor, Nicky Morgan.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Nicky Morgan, says George.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nicky Morgan.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's right. 24 is our only score at this point
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and Nicky Morgan, I suspect, will go past that
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and it does. 9 for Nicky Morgan. Very well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28APPLAUSE
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Great answer, George. Secretary of State for Education, Nicky Morgan.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- And has not nicked my glasses, so fair play to her.- Not yet.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- At time of recording.- Exactly. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Now, Julie.- Not a great subject for me, I'm afraid.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- Um, I'm going to try William Hague. - William Hague, says Julie.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Let's see if that's right
0:21:54 > 0:21:57and how many of our 100 people said William Hague.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Oh, I'm sorry, Julie.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Not after the election, I'm afraid. William Hague is wrong,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06scores you 100 points.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11He stepped down to spend more time...making money, I think.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I think so.- I think that was his official explanation.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- Making money and judo, I think. - Making money and practising judo.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Let's look at those scores.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Bob and George, once again, lovely low-scoring from you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Lovely low score of 9.
0:22:27 > 0:22:2924 is where we find Aleisha and Tim
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and 100, I'm sorry, Julie and Sonia. That is a high score.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35All I can say is very, very good luck.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Maybe a minus score from you would help.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Sonia, we're looking for any MP or peer appointed to the cabinet
0:22:47 > 0:22:50after the 2015 general election.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Priti Patel.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Priti Patel, says Sonia. Priti Patel.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Priti Patel.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08That's a very good answer, Sonia.
0:23:10 > 0:23:139 is the lowest score we've had so far. You pass it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Down to 2. Very well done indeed.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18APPLAUSE Lowest score of the round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Takes your total up to 102.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Very well played, Sonia. Kept yourself in it there.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27She's a minister at the Department of Work and Pensions, Priti Patel,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29but also attends cabinet.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Bob.- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- If you can score 92 or less, Bob... - 92 or less, OK.- Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41George Osborne.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44George Osborne, says Bob. Here's your red line.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's see if you can get below... I think you probably will.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- Well, hope so.- Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Osborne.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Yep, you've done it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Oh.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Oh, 42. You've done it by some margin there.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04APPLAUSE 51 is your total.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Yeah, he's the... George Osborne is the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14That reminds me of that time when you see a Tube with the doors open
0:24:14 > 0:24:16and you just... HE PANTS
0:24:16 > 0:24:20You rush to get in there, you sit down in the seat
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- and the doors stay open for about five more minutes.- Exactly.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26LAUGHTER Anyway, there we go. Tim.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- Tim.- OK, I'm going to go for Michael Fallon.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Michael Fallon, says Tim.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Let's see how many people said Michael Fallon.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Here's your red line.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39It's right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Gets you through.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Good answer. 3.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 27,
0:24:50 > 0:24:51lowest total of the round.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Well played, Tim. Secretary of State for Defence.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58There's quite a few of them, as you might imagine.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Anna Soubry works in the Business Department.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Baroness Anelay of St Johns,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05who's in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Elizabeth Truss, Liz Truss,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09who is Secretary of State for the Environment.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Greg Hands is Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Jeremy Wright is the Attorney General.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16John Whittingdale, who we have to be very nice to,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19cos he's the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- and he's in charge of the BBC and what's going to happen to it.- Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Patrick McLoughlin is Secretary of State for Transport.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Robert Halfon, minister without portfolio,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32and Stephen Crabb, Secretary of State for Wales.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You also could have had Matthew Hancock, Paymaster General.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Well done if you said any of those. Let's look at the top three answers,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- David Cameron, 44.- Really?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48You've got question our 100 people there, haven't you?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home...
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Now, I heard some outpourings of grief
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- from the far podium during that. - Yeah.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Stephen Crabb is... - Is from Haverfordwest.- Is your MP.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02LAUGHTER
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Oh, well, nevermind. - He's from our town.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Listen, we will see you again next time, Sonia and Julie,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09when I'm sure you'll go much, much further.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Thank you very much for playing. Sonia and Julie, everyone.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16APPLAUSE
0:26:16 > 0:26:19For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21APPLAUSE
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Very, very well done, Bob and George, Tim and Aleisha.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You're now one step closer to the final
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37There it is. From here on in, you can start conferring.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Really very, very strong from both pairs on both shows,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48so I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of this.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It's going to be very close either way. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Let's play this head-to-head.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55APPLAUSE
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Welsh Towns And Cities, Richard.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Going to show you five pictures of Welsh towns and cities.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13You just need to identify the most obscure of these five, please.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Let's reveal our five Welsh towns and cities.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44There we are. Five Welsh towns and cities.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Bob and George, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- We're going for E, aren't we? - We're going for E.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Hay-on-Wye.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Hay-on-Wye, say Bob and George. Hay-on-Wye.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Tim and Aleisha, do you feel like talking us
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- through the rest of that board? - We think A is Swansea,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- D, Cardiff. Um...- B is Wrexham.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18But I think we're going to say C, Carmarthen.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- C, Carnarvon.- Carmarthen.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Carmarthen. I beg your pardon.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27So, Bob and George have gone for Hay-on-Wye for E.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Let's see if that's right and how many people say Hay-on-Wye.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It is Hay-on-Wye.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41APPLAUSE
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Meanwhile, Tim and Aleisha have gone for Carmarthen.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Let's see if that's right for C
0:28:49 > 0:28:51and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Carmarthen?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I'm afraid it's not Carmarthen, which means, Bob and George,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- well done. After one question, you are up 1-0.- Well played.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It does fit the letters, Carmarthen,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- but that is... - Carnarvon.- Caerphilly.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Oh, Caerphilly.- Caerphilly.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Not Carnarvon, not Carmarthen, Caerphilly.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Would have scored you 12 points. Swansea would have scored you 45.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Only scored 45 points.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18B, you knew it was Wrexham, and it would have won you the point
0:29:18 > 0:29:20if you'd said it as well.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24It scored 23. And Cardiff, the biggest scorer of all.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28They won't like that in Swansea. Would have scored 71.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Tim and Aleisha, you get to answer first but you have to win it
0:29:33 > 0:29:36to stay in the game, so good luck. It concerns...
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Coronation Street Stars, Richard.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Going to give you five clues to facts about people
0:29:42 > 0:29:45who have appeared in Coronation Street at one time or another.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15I'll read those one last time.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Tim and Aleisha will go first.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:30:50 > 0:30:52We're going to go for the top one. Patrick Stewart.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Patrick Stewart, say Tim and Aleisha.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Now, Bob and George,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59how many of those do you feel like filling in for us?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Well, my hunch is that the Bolton-born comedian
0:31:03 > 0:31:06is either Peter Kay or Paddy McGuinness
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and the former Family Fortunes presenter,
0:31:09 > 0:31:12this is a gamble, but I'm going to say Les Dennis.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Les Dennis. Les Dennis. We have Patrick Stewart and Les Dennis.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Tim and Aleisha have gone for Patrick Stewart.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Let's see if that's right for the former Star Trek and X-Men actor.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27It is right.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35APPLAUSE
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Very well done. 25 for Patrick Stewart.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Bob and George, meanwhile, have gone for Les Dennis,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42the former Family Fortunes presenter.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Les Dennis, if it's right.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49It is right.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It's got to beat...
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Ooh, 54. 54 for Les Dennis.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55APPLAUSE
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Well done, Tim and Aleisha, you're back in the game.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Les Dennis, biggest scorer up there.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03A couple of answers there would have won you the point.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Peter Kay wouldn't have won it cos he would have scored you 34.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Is the darts champion Eric Bristow or Phil Taylor?
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Well, by and large, we won't accept two answers.- No, no.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19That was the debate but we said... Dad said Eric Bristow.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Dad, you're saying Eric Bristow. - I am.- I'm saying Phil Taylor.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Bob, as always, if you'd listened to your son,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27you'd be in the final, cos it was Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Would have scored you 11 points. Would have been a terrific answer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- And the Fawlty Towers actress is... - Prunella Scales.- Prunella Scales.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- That would have scored you 22. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Here comes your third and final question. Whoever wins this one
0:32:40 > 0:32:41goes through to the final.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Grand National Winners, Richard.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51We're going to show you five names of horses
0:32:51 > 0:32:54that have won the Grand National but we've put them in anagram form.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Can you unscramble them to play in today's final?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Best of luck, both teams. - Thanks, Richard.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Let's reveal our five anagrams. Here they come.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Bob and George will go first this time.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- '67 is Foinavon.- Foinavon.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39OK. Foinavon, say Bob and George.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Now, Tim and Aleisha, do you want to talk through the board?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46The obvious one is right in the middle, Red Rum,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49but I think that's going to score a lot higher, so...
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- But that's the only one we know. Just say Red Rum?- Yeah, OK, Red Rum.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56You're going for Red Rum. So, Bob and George went for Foinavon.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00how many of our 100 people got that?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04It's right.
0:34:09 > 0:34:114 for Foinavon.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12APPLAUSE
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Now, Tim and Aleisha, meanwhile, have gone for Red Rum. "Murder".
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Red Rum?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's right.
0:34:27 > 0:34:2982 for Red Rum.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32APPLAUSE
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Very well done, Bob and George.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Foinavon actually the lowest score on the board, I'm very surprised.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Foinavon was the horse that famously won at 100 to 1.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Virtually all the rest of the field fell at the 23rd fence,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47which is now called Foinavon. A Tail Din?
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- Aldaniti.- Aldaniti. That would have scored you 21. Liars Copy Pitt.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The bookies lost a fortune on this cos it was a few days
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- before the general election in 1992.- It's Party Politics.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Party Politics, so a lot of people put a lot of money on it.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Would have scored you 8. And Rice Bore?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Corbiere.- Corbiere, Jenny Pitman's horse. Would have scored you 10.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I'm sorry, Tim and Aleisha, it was you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16But still, as I predicted, very, very close.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I knew that would go to three questions.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20It's been brilliant having you on both shows.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I'm sorry you didn't make it to the final,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25but it's been wonderful to have you here. Thanks for playing so well.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Tim and Aleisha.- Thank you. - Thank you. Well done, guys.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31But for Bob and George, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33APPLAUSE
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Very, very well done, Bob and George.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39You've seen off all the competition
0:35:39 > 0:35:42and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so well done.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:50 > 0:35:55and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Well, we have thrown all sorts of things at you.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01We started off, didn't we, with often confused words,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04then we had cabinet members, Welsh towns and cities,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06then we had Coronation Street
0:36:06 > 0:36:09and then we had Grand National winners and here you are.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11As always, you get to choose your category
0:36:11 > 0:36:13from the four things we put up on the board.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Let's hope there's something you like the look of.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29I couldn't help you with Crime Writers.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I could, perhaps, help you with Radio 4 Programmes
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- but how much do you listen to Radio 4?- Yeah, I do listen to Radio 4.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- You listen to Radio 4. - It's the only option, I'm afraid.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I think it is the only option. Radio 4 Programmes.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Radio 4 Programmes it is, Richard. - Very best of luck, gents.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Three very different questions here.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We are looking for... any cast member of The Archers
0:36:47 > 0:36:50who has the surname Archer, in March, 2015, please.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54So, anyone listed on the website with the surname Archer, 2015.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57In case you have a marine seismologist on your team,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00we're looking for any single-word shipping forecast areas.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Or we are looking for any of the eight most popular composers
0:37:05 > 0:37:08ever chosen on Desert Island Discs. They did that poll in 2011.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10The eight most chosen composers.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13So, people with the surname Archer in March, 2015,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15single-word shipping forecast areas
0:37:15 > 0:37:19and most popular Desert Island Disc composers. Very best of luck.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Thank you.- Thank you. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:23 > 0:37:24to come up with three answers.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27All you need to win that jackpot of £1,000
0:37:27 > 0:37:30is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Yes.- I'm ready.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Your time starts now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Out of those, the shipping forecast is...- Yes, shipping forecast.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Forget about the other two. - Forget about the others. Cromarty?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Cromarty, Finisterre. Bailey is a good one. Um...
0:37:43 > 0:37:47South Utsire, North Utsire. Um...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Wight, Dogger...- I'm going...
0:37:50 > 0:37:55- Shh. Wight, Dogger. I'm thinking. - You're thinking.- Wight, Dogger...
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Um...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Is there one at Peterhead?- No.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Um, Wick?- No.- Lerwick?- No.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13Um, there's Iceland, goes up, goes down...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19There's Portland... Fastnet.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25You've named enough, it's which ones you're most confident.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Ten seconds left.- OK, we'll definitely go Bailey.- Bailey.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I'd say Cromarty, but I think it's popular.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- And it's got to be a single word. - Yeah.- One word.- Wight?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40OK, that's your time up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- We'll go with Bailey.- Bailey.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Wight.- Wight.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- And Fastnet.- And Fastnet.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50And all of those, obviously...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Are shipping forecast areas. - Single-word shipping forecast areas.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Of those three, which do you think is your best shot...?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Best shot's Bailey.- Bailey goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Fastnet.- OK, and Wight goes in the middle.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Let's pop those up on the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07We've got...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Very, very best of luck.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Let's say one of these wins you the jackpot.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17What would you spend it on, Bob?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20I'd like to buy a new set of golf clubs.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I had a little swing the other day and I'm getting back into it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But I've got a daughter who's spent it about three times already.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28She's at Edinburgh University,
0:39:28 > 0:39:32so she's skint and I think she wanted a share.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34And I won't let you get the golf clubs
0:39:34 > 0:39:37cos there won't be much remaining if you do buy the golf clubs,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41but concert tickets is how I would spend the money,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44so I'd be at the Royal Albert Hall a lot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46We're going to see Bob Dylan there in October,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48so perhaps we can visit there a bit more often.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Very good indeed. Best of luck.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Let's hope at least one of these brilliant answers
0:39:52 > 0:39:54wins you that jackpot.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Fastnet was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Let's find out. Fastnet, for £1,000, how many people said it?
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- It's right.- Oh, it IS right.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Should have had more confidence.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14If Fastnet takes us all the way down to zero,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16you will leave immediately with £1,000.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Down it goes into single figures. Still going down...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Oh, 1! AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:21 > 0:40:23There we go.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26APPLAUSE
0:40:26 > 0:40:281 for Fastnet.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31That's a fantastic answer. Very good low score there.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Sadly, though, we're only interested
0:40:33 > 0:40:35in pointless answers at this stage of the game.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37So, you have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Your next answer was Wight.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Once again, we were looking for single-word shipping forecast areas.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45To win the jackpot, it has to be pointless.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48For £1,000, let's see how many people said Wight.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It, too, is right.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Fastnet took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Wight now taking us down through the 20s
0:40:57 > 0:40:59and the teens into single figures.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Still going down, still going down...
0:41:02 > 0:41:033. AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:03 > 0:41:05APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:13- One more chance.- Still, either way, a very, very good score there.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Fantastic score. Bailey is your third and final answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20This is the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It has to be pointless.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Let's find out, for £1,000, how many people said Bailey.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32It's right. We've come very, very close twice now.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Fastnet took us down to 1, Wight took us all the way down to 3.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Bailey now going into single figures. Down it goes, passes 3...
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Yes!- Yes!- Yes!
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Fantastic!
0:41:44 > 0:41:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DROWN SPEECH
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Very well done indeed.- Thank you.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Ah, congratulations!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Bailey was a pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Very well done.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08You will be at the Albert Hall, I hope, a lot, on the back of that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Absolutely.- And maybe get some nice golf clubs too.- Richard.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Bob and George, absolutely fantastic.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Thank you so much for being with us for two shows.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19You've been brilliant, and what a lovely way to finish it,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20with the third answer as well,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Bob, I can't tell you - perfect, absolutely perfect!
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Let's look at the other answers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Let's look at the Archer family first.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30There's only two pointless answers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36You'd have got 1 point at home for Henry, Kenton, Helen or Tom.
0:42:36 > 0:42:402 points for Josh Archer. Those were the real low-scorers there.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Now, the shipping forecast areas. There's four pointless answers.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Now, the Desert Island Disc composers.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Again, there's only two pointless answers here.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57The other answers there were Beethoven, Mozart, Bach,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Tchaikovsky, Edward Elgar and Franz Schubert.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Gents, you've been fantastic for two shows
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- and congratulations on winning that jackpot.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Thanks, Richard, and thanks again to our winning players,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Bob and George, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Very well done.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15APPLAUSE
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Join us next time,
0:43:17 > 0:43:20when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27APPLAUSE
