0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- And couple number one.- Hi, I'm Gary.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- This is my girlfriend, Lesley. And we're from Essex.- Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Laura. This is my friend Mark and we're both from Glasgow.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Nichal. This is my dad, Gurvinder. We're from London.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Tony. This is my lovely wife, Liz.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And we're from Colwyn Bay in North Wales.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about you throughout the show as
0:01:02 > 0:01:06it goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Cut him in half and you'll see he bleeds...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Well, profusely so don't do it. LAUGHTER
0:01:10 > 0:01:12My Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi! Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Now that last show, every now and again, a jackpot round comes along
0:01:21 > 0:01:24that suits someone perfectly for various different reasons.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- And that was the case last time, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Because we had Tabby on the show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Tabby was here and the category cats came up.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And not only did she choose cats with Dan, she then got the jackpot.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Didn't she? Got a pointless answer. So well done, Tabby. Well done, Dan.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Two returning pairs from that show - Nichal and Gurvinder, who
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- were very, very unlucky, got knocked out in that round on US states.- Hmm.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I think were very unfortunate to get knocked out as well
0:01:48 > 0:01:50so I suspect we may see an awful lot more of them on today's show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Tony and Liz, also welcomed back, got through to Round Two last time.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So no-one thus far has been through to a head-to-head.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So, let's see if we can put that right.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Thanks very much. You know what, I hope so.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Otherwise, what will we do in the third round?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Oh, yeah, if all four of them get knocked out
0:02:04 > 0:02:05- in the first two rounds.- Yeah!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- It'll just be me and you talking. - Yeah, well...
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Plus ca change. Er, there we go, OK.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So Dan and Tabby, as you have gathered, won the jackpot last time.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16So today's jackpot starts off back at a majestic £1,000.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19There it is, OK. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26OK, all you have to remember is this.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:28 > 0:02:31will be eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Our first category this afternoon is history.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39who's going to go second.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51The 1900s, Richard.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We're talking about the decade the 1900s
0:02:53 > 0:02:55rather than the century as well.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We'll give you a series of clues
0:02:57 > 0:03:01to events that took place in that first decade of the 20th century.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- The 19-noughties?- The 19-noughties, if you like.- There we go.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's a nice way of calling it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And you just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Seven on each pass, 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15So we are looking for the people and the events of the 19-noughties
0:03:15 > 0:03:18as described by these clues, and here they come.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'm going to read those one last time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Lesley, a warm welcome here from Essex. What do you do, Lesley?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I work for a international law firm in London.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Are you a lawyer? - No.- What do you do there?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I work in the accounts department and I do salaries, for a start.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Very important.- Very important, yes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Very popular person, I should think, in the law firm.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35They like me when they first meet me
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- cos they know I'm going to pay their wages.- I should think they like you
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- every month when they hear from you. - That's true!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Lesley, what do you do when you're not working for the law firm?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Um, various things. Babysit for the grandchildren.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48- How many have you got?- Three.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Very nice.- Yeah, I play golf.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Badly.- Mm-hm.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- So I'm trying to improve that. - Wonderful.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Now, Lesley. Figures from the 1900s, the decade of the 1900s.- Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm a bit vague on all of them
0:05:01 > 0:05:06but I'm going to go for a war which ended in South Africa in 1902.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- I think it's the Boer War. - The Boer War, says Lesley.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Let's see if that's right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Boer War.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21APPLAUSE
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Not bad, 67 gets us off to a good start.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Yeah, pretty good score but tough on that first podium.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Yeah, one of the most famous rhyming wars.- Exactly.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- The Boer War.- I always wanted to call it the Boor Woor.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- The Boor Woor.- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But there we are, the Boer War. Now then, Mark, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Lovely to have you here from Glasgow.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- How you doing? - I'm very well, thank you, Mark.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42And what do you do?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I'm a planning manager for a bespoke pumping manufacturer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- A bespoke pumping manufacturer?- Yes!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Because we were thinking of having a pump built, weren't we, Richard?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yeah, but I was just going to get one from the pump shop,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58just a regular one.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00But how much more is a bespoke one?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It can range from £1,000 to £10 million.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, I think we'd want one from the upper end, wouldn't we, Richard?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- We've got £8 million. - I'll get you a good pump for that!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11OK, well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- That is quite the offer! - HE LAUGHS
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Offered a good pump by our Glaswegian.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20OK, now, Mark, aside from pumping...
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Yes.- ..what...what pleases you, Mark?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I play for a softball team in Glasgow with Laura.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31And recently, my team won our division
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- of the National Men's Championship. - Now that's impressive.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Very good, you've literally just come from that, have you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Yeah, pretty well much, yes. - Good work!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Now, Mark. History. History in the early 1900s.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- How do you feel about that?- It's not my strongest subject, history.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'm going to put that out there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think there's two answers that I'm a wee bit sure on,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54so I'm going to go with the bottom answer of the female scientist
0:06:54 > 0:06:56who shared the Nobel Prize.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I'm going to say Marie Curie. - Marie Curie.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Can I just say, on record, I love Mark's accent.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I think that is my favourite kind. And that's just...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What particular kind of Glaswegian accent is that?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10People would say I have a strong Glasgow accent
0:07:10 > 0:07:13but I think it's posh.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think it's a posh Glasgow accent, if there exists one.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20It's a very nice accent, Mark. I think it's fabulous. OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Mark is going to go for Marie Curie.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Marie Curie.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Yeah, the nominating committee actually objected to having
0:07:39 > 0:07:42a woman be awarded the prize but Pierre Curie said,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46"Look, the research was Marie's so you have to." And so, she got it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Quite right.- Times change. - There you are. Thank you, Richard.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Now, Gurvinder. Welcome. Now, remind us what you do, Gurvinder.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I'm a property developer. - That's in London, you do that?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- London, Manchester.- I see, OK.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01And aside from the property world, what do you like to get up to?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I enjoy sports, bit of golf and tennis and a lot of badminton.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Good stuff. Now, Gurvinder. What are you going to go for on this board?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Oh, sure about two, not so sure about the others.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'll play it safe and say Queen Victoria, the British monarch.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Queen Victoria, says Gurvinder.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Queen Victoria.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26APPLAUSE These are all high scores.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Yeah, died in 1901, of course, Queen Victoria.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Had 37 great-grandchildren when she died.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32That's a lot of presents to buy.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Really, I was just thinking about Christmas.- Yeah!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- But also, it's a lot of birthdays. - To remember all of that.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Mind you, she had a bob or two, didn't she, Queen Victoria?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- So it was probably all right.- Yes! Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- There we are. Now, Tony. Welcome back.- Thank you very much.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Tony, remind us what you do? - I work in local government.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I'm a business support manager. - And you're up there in Colwyn Bay.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Is Colwyn Bay as beautiful as it sounds?- Oh, it's beautiful.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Really nice.- Oh, lovely. Very nice.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And what do you get up to in Colwyn Bay?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We've got three kids so they keep us busy.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Our youngest one, who's probably
0:09:05 > 0:09:08the biggest fan of this show in the world, I think.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10He's got a little twist on your catchphrase as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, why, what's he say?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14When you say, "Step up to the podium," he says,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16"Step up to the podium, man!"
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- OTHERS CHUCKLE - That's good.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- That's now what I'm going to say. - That is good!- There we go.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Tony, this board's all yours.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Do you fancy going through it and filling in all our blanks for us?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I would absolutely love to do that.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31First one I'd probably say is Einstein.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The second one, I'd have a guess at 1908.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Third one, probably the Antarctic
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and not sure I'd even have a stab at the fourth one, to the honest.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43So I've got to pick one of those three
0:09:43 > 0:09:48and I'm pretty sure Scott of the Antarctic sticks in my head.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- That's the one you're going to go for.- Go with that.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Tony says the Antarctic, let's see how many
0:09:52 > 0:09:54of our 100 people agree with him.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57It's right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Well, there we are! 65.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Yeah, big scores all round there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10His third lieutenant on that mission was Ernest Shackleton,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13who obviously spent an awful lot more time in that region as well.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Now, let's take a look at these other three.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The top one is Albert Einstein, you're right about that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Would have scored 66 and you'd have had a guess on the year at 1908?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- 1908.- Should have done, it was 1908.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It would have been a very good answer.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Would have scored you 25 points, and the best answer on the board...
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- Herbert Asquith.- Asquith, yes.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34And he would have scored you 6 points.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Well done if you said that at home. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:40 > 0:10:4458 - 58, the best score of that pass. Well done there, Mark.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Not bad at all!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Mark and Laura looking pretty comfortable.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49They're all very close, these scores though.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Then we travel up to 65 where we find Tony and Liz,
0:10:52 > 0:10:5567, Lesley and Gary, 84, Gurvinder and Nichal.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Now once again, Nichal, there you are,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01having to carry your dad out of that high score.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02So best of luck with that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Let's hope you can find a nice low-scoring answer on the board.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06We'll come back down the line now.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Can the second players please step up to the podium, man?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15OK, we're going to put seven more clues up on the board
0:11:15 > 0:11:16and here they are.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'll read through those one last time.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Liz, welcome back. Now remind us what you do up in Colwyn Bay?
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I work in the public sector and I sing in a choir.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I've got three children with Tony. - Very nice.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yes, you were telling us about the choir you sing in.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39How long did you say you've been doing that?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42We've done it for the last 14 months or so.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Was that when it was founded, 14 months ago?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45It was when it was founded, yes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Were you part of the gang that were there at the very beginning?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Did you go round and recruit people to come and sing?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53No, I just responded to the advertisement.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I was just there at the beginning.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58We just recently celebrated our first birthday.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And it's really good for you, this is why they started this choir
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- because it's for people affected by cancer.- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07And they found all the health benefits of singing
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- in a choir, you know, are quite stark.- Yeah.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13And it does, it's a feel-good thing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah, and a great social thing to do as well.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Now, Liz, there you are on 65, 84 is the high score.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21So, 18 or less will...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I say 18 or less, they've been quite high scores so far. But who knows?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- There might be an 18 up there on the board.- There's two...
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Well, there's a few I know but it's just wondering which will be lowest.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I know the two bottom ones and which one should I do?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm going to go for Emmeline Pankhurst.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Emmeline Pankhurst, says Liz.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Emmeline Pankhurst. Here comes your red line.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46If you could get below that red line,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48you'd go straight through into the next round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49But let's see how far down the column you get
0:13:49 > 0:13:51with Emmeline Pankhurst.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53It's right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Very good indeed, 27.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Very strong low score there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Taking your total up to 92. - Well played, Liz.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Yeah, an extraordinary woman and she died 18 days
0:14:08 > 0:14:12before the Representation Act that gave equal votes to women.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- She never saw it.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Now, Nichal.- Hi.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Nichal, you're no longer the high scorers, which is quite exciting.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21You just have to score 7 or less
0:14:21 > 0:14:23to avoid overtaking them, that's all.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Nichal, remind us what you do.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- I work for a major music publishing company.- So, that's quite fun.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So what sort of acts do you have that you look after?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- We work more with the writer side.- Yes.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38So, it's not like records where you work with the artists, it's the...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40But sometimes, occasionally you have singer-songwriters,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- so you have a few of those on your books.- Yes, we do.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45But I suppose you have the more twilight world of songs.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I'm sure of all the sides of that business,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50isn't that the one that you would probably want to be in?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- It's the most fun and rewarding. - Very exciting. Anyway, there we are.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Now, Nichal. There you are on 84.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You have to score 7 or less
0:14:57 > 0:14:59if you're going to avoid being our high scorers again.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02That's not going to happen, unfortunately.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Erm, I could guess at one
0:15:04 > 0:15:07because the one I know I think is going to be really high.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'm not even sure if I definitely know it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11But I'm going to go with the country which signed
0:15:11 > 0:15:14the so-called Entente Cordiale and say France.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16OK, Nichal says France.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Here is your red line, it's quite low.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Should you get below that, though, you are into the next round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35APPLAUSE 64, taking your total up to 148.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Yeah, it settled all sorts of controversial arguments
0:15:38 > 0:15:41between the two countries and we've never ever had a row since,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- which is great.- No, amazing. - It's lovely.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We do actually love the French, don't we?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- I think we actually do. - We kid of... Yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50We've got better music, as Nichal will no doubt attest,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- and we've got better comedy.- Yes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I tell you what they're very good at is wearing their...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58wearing trousers a little bit too short and no sock.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00They are terrific at that.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And their version, I don't know if you've seen it,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04their version of the Blackpool Tower which they've got in Paris
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- is actually not bad. - THEY LAUGH
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's not bad. There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Now then, Laura.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Good to have you here. What do you do, Laura?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I'm a contract manager for a company that makes buses.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Oh, pumps and buses!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- This is everything you need, isn't it?- Pumps And Buses!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- That's a documentary series you and I can present, I think.- Oh.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Xander And Richard's Pumps And Buses.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Oh! We'd be beating a path to your door,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I can tell you right now, if we get that commissioned.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Please, BBC!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Laura, what do you do when you're not on the buses?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I've played softball for a long, long time.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Softball sounds like a rather sort of forgiving game.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I can't imagine it is.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- It's not, the ball's pretty hard.- Yeah!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And it hurts quite a lot when it hits you.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Well, why do they call it softball, then?- I'm not entirely sure.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think it's because it was meant to be a little bit slower
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- so that men and women could play in the same team.- Underarm pitching.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Oh, I see. Well, there we are. Now, Laura. You are on 58.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05If you can score 89 or less with your answer,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07you are through to the next round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09There's a few on there I think I know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'm going to be vaguely safe, I think,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and go with the Oedipus complex psychoanalysis
0:17:14 > 0:17:15and go with Sigmund Freud.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Sigmund Freud, says Laura.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sigmund Freud. Here is your red line.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Lovely and high.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Get below that with Sigmund Freud and through you go to Round Two.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's right and you are through.
0:17:30 > 0:17:3248 is your score. APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Your total is 106.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38One of our 100 gave the answer Fraud.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40THEY LAUGH Weird.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43If only there were a name for that sort of mistake.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- I'm genuinely thinking about Pumps And Buses.- Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Our new documentary series on BBC One.- Yes, yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Every week, a new country.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And every week, they sort of join us like we're just having
0:17:53 > 0:17:56a conversation, like they do on documentaries.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'll say something like, "We're in India, I'm about to go
0:17:58 > 0:18:02"and look at a massive pump. "What are you up to?" And you say...
0:18:02 > 0:18:06"Well, I'm just about to catch this train up to the biggest
0:18:06 > 0:18:08"bus depot in Uttar Pradesh."
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I tell you what, if the BBC are watching now, I bet within seconds,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14they'll commission that with Mel and Sue instead of us.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16THEY LAUGH
0:18:16 > 0:18:17They'd do it better than us. There we are.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Anyway, let's keep working on that. Well, it doesn't need much work.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Not really.- That pretty much films itself.- It really does.- There we go.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Gary.- Hello.- Gary, a warm welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29What do you do, Gary?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I work for a company that supplies mainly electrical stuff
0:18:32 > 0:18:33to the building trade.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And what do you do when you're not working on that?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Oh, like a bit of horse racing, follow my team, West Ham.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- You have a little flutter? - I've been known to.- OK, very good.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43We have high scores here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Nichal and Gurvinder are currently our high scorers on 148.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51You have to score 80 or less with your board here.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54There's two that I basically know that I'm left with,
0:18:54 > 0:18:55with a score under 80.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59So I'm going to have to take a gamble with this bottom one
0:18:59 > 0:19:00and Robert Baden-Powell.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Robert Baden-Powell, says Gary.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Robert Baden-Powell. Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08If you can get below that with Robert Baden-Powell,
0:19:08 > 0:19:09through you go to Round Two.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Robert Baden-Powell.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Very well done, you are through.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Look at that, 60!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Very well done, 127 is your total.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25And rather neatly, he became a national celebrity after
0:19:25 > 0:19:27fighting in the Boer War, Robert Baden-Powell.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And that book, Scouting For boys,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32the fourth bestselling book of the 20th century.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Behind the Bible, the Koran and The Thoughts Of Chairman Mao.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Isn't that amazing?- Goodness me.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Let's fill in the rest of this board here, the automobile company?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41- Ford.- Is Ford, yes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Lucky you didn't go for it because it would have scored 84 points.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- The Kenneth Grahame novel? - Wind In The Willows.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Wind In The Willows, correct. 59 points.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Now this is an interesting one,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53the year in which the first leap year was.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Now we know that leap years are divisible by four.- Hmm.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Which would of course say it was 1900.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01But it's not, it's 1904.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Because centuries are only leap years - 23 points -
0:20:04 > 0:20:07centuries are only leap years if they're divisible by 400.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11So, 2000 was a leap year but 2100 won't be a leap year.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I mean, it won't be bothering us, I'm sure of that,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16because we won't be around, but it won't be a leap year.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- I didn't know that!- Yeah?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Did anyone else know that? OTHERS:- No.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22HE SIGHS There we go.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:20:27 > 0:20:29with a high score of 148, Nichal and Gurvinder.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31This is the second Round One, consecutively,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34from which we've had to dispatch you. I'm so sorry.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Far too soon. But it's been great having you on both shows.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Thanks so much for playing, Nichal and Gurvinder.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Well done, everyone, we've all made it to Round Two.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Very impressive indeed. Also, you've seen off one of our returning pairs.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58The other returning pair, though, very well done.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01You have our lowest score there in that round, so hats off to you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Pop Music. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11who's going to go second?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19OK, and the question concerns...
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Heavenly Music, Richard?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yeah, in a moment, Xander is going to show you five heavenly words.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30We're looking for any UK top 40 hit up to June 2015 that contains
0:21:30 > 0:21:31any of those words, please.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It has to be that exact word, can't be part of a longer word.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, any UK top 40 hit up to June 2015 that contains
0:21:38 > 0:21:41any of the following five words. Very best of luck.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42OK, so as Richard just said,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44we're going to put five words up on the board.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47They will stay on the board for the whole round so be warned,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49we won't be changing them halfway through.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So, here are those words.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Lesley, there we go.
0:22:00 > 0:22:06Right, I'm going to go for Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel, says Lesley.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It's right.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Oh!
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Look at that, 6!
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Very well done, Lesley. What a start to the round.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- 6 for Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.- Well played, Lesley.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Great start, Tavares had a hit
0:22:29 > 0:22:31and Worlds Apart did a cover version of it as well.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Mark.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I thought I was going to be good in this round.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'm now looking at the words and I'm panicking a little bit.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Get my head together here. I'm going to go with God Is A DJ.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45God Is A DJ, says Mark.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48God Is A DJ, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52It's right.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Look at that, very well done indeed!
0:22:59 > 0:23:013 for God Is A DJ.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Good work, Mark.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Yeah, hit for Faithless.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Also, a hit for Pink as well, God Is A DJ.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Thank you, Richard. Tony?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11What would you like to go for?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I've got a few and my dilemma is
0:23:13 > 0:23:16whether or not they're singles or album tracks.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19But I'm just going to go with Praise Me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Praise Me.- Yes. - Praise Me, says Tony.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Praise Me.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Oh.- Bad luck, Tony. I think I know why that's wrong.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- That scores you 100 points, sorry. - Yeah, sorry, Tony.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38No Praise Me, I'm afraid.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'll go through different answers at the end of the pass.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43OK, we're halfway through the round,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45so let's have a little recap of the scores.
0:23:45 > 0:23:463, Mark. Look at that.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48God Is A DJ. Very well done indeed.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Then up to 6 where we find Lesley and Gary.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Then, I'm sorry, Tony and Liz.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Our low scorers from the first round and there you are with 100 points.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Liz, if we have a low score from you, it could keep you in the game.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01You'll have to be lower than 5.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02We'll come back down the line now.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So, Liz. It's any UK top 40 single
0:24:10 > 0:24:14that has one of these five words in its title.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Erm, I've got two. Um...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22One of them is one we do in choir, which I should go with
0:24:22 > 0:24:26but I think this one might be lower and give us the best chance.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- I'm going to go with Millennium Prayer.- Millennium Prayer, says Liz.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Millennium Prayer.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33No red line for you as you are the high scorers, I'm afraid.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Let's see how many of our 100 said Millennium Prayer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39It's right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:457!
0:24:47 > 0:24:517 for Millennium Prayer takes your total goes up to 107.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Yeah, by Cliff, of course.- Who else? Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Now then, Laura.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59The good news is it doesn't matter what you score,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm going to go with Livin' On A Prayer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Livin' On A Prayer, says Laura.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07No red line for you as you're already through.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09How many of our 100 said Livin' On A Prayer?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Popular one there, taking your total up to 30.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Yeah, a hit for Bon Jovi.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- 30 years ago, that was. - There we are.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Gary.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33It doesn't matter what you score either, you're already through.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Good!- Which is great. But let's have a nice low score.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39All right, I'm going to take a little bit of a punt, as they say.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40A punt.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I think the Beach Boys might have done one, God Only Knows.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48God Only Knows, says Gary. God Only Knows.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50No red line for you as you're already through.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said God Only Knows.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57It's right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:0620 for God Only Knows
0:26:06 > 0:26:07takes your total up to 26.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Yeah, number two hit for the Beach Boys and then another hit again
0:26:11 > 0:26:14when it was recorded for the BBC a few years back as well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Paul McCartney says it's the greatest song ever written.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Have you got an answer, by the way? - Er, Save A Prayer.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Probably, I hadn't really given it a lot of thought, to be honest.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- HE LAUGHS - That's the spirit.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Save A Prayer, Duran Duran?- Yeah. - 5 points.- There we are.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Now let's take a look at some pointless answers here.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33God Thank You Woman by Culture Club was a pointless answer,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Hands To Heaven, that's Breathe.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I Found Heaven, Take That, was a pointless answer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40So, well done if you said that.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42U2's If God Will Send His Angels.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Touched By The Hand Of God, New Order, of course.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Whenever God Shines His Light,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53that's another Cliff one with Van Morrison.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Where I Find My Heaven, that's Gigolo Aunts,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57it was the theme tune to a sitcom as well.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59And Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin),
0:26:59 > 0:27:00which was Scritti Politti.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Heaven Is A Place On Earth, 25 points, Belinda Carlisle.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Livin' On A Prayer, 27 points, the second biggest scorer.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Like A Prayer, Madonna. In fact, both top scorers on 27.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Yeah, Tony. You said Praise Me.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It was Praise You, the Fatboy Slim song.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24That would have scored you 19 points.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26So, would have seen you safely through, actually.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- It would have seen you on 26 points. So, unlucky.- Yeah, never mind.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Thank you very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36the pair we're saying goodbye to, I can't bear it, is Liz and Tony!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I'm so sorry. It's been great having you on both shows,
0:27:39 > 0:27:40thanks so much for playing.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Bye, Liz and Tony. APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But for our two remaining pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Very well done, Laura and Mark, Lesley and Gary.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:27:59 > 0:28:02which currently stands still at £1,000.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Well, you now start playing as teams, you can confer.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And the first player to win two questions
0:28:07 > 0:28:09will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Best of luck, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Lords and Baronesses, Richard?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yes, simply five pictures now of lords and baronesses,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28can you identify the most obscure?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Thanks very much, let's reveal our five lords and baronesses
0:28:30 > 0:28:31and here they come.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56There we are, five lords and baronesses.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Laura and Mark, you're our low scorers so you go first.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01We confer!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- WHISPERS:- B is Julian Fellowes.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- I think we should go with B, Julian Fellowes.- OK.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- Going to go with the B, Julian Fellowes.- B, Julian Fellowes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Very good. B, Julian Fellowes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Now, Lesley and Gary, do you want to talk us through
0:29:17 > 0:29:19the rest of that board?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23A is Joan somebody, Joan Bakewell?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I'm not saying that's the one I'm going for
0:29:25 > 0:29:27but I think that's Joan Bakewell
0:29:27 > 0:29:31and I think C looks like Floella Benjamin.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- Go for that one.- Sure. We'll go for C, Floella Benjamin.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37OK, Floella Benjamin.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41So we have Lord Fellowes and we have Floella Benjamin, Baroness Benjamin.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43So, Laura and Mark went with Julian Fellowes for B,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45let's see if that's right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Let's see how many of our 100 spotted that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51There we are, that's right.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Oh!
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Look at that!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02There we are, Lord Fellowes of Downton scoring you 11.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Meanwhile, Lesley and Gary have gone for Baroness Benjamin for C.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 spotted it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It's right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:1933 for Floella.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Very well done. Laura and Mark, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Yeah, very well played.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Her official title is Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- That's quite nice, isn't it? - Just lovely, isn't it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30That's very impressive.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34A is Joan Bakewell, Baroness Bakewell, now of Stockport.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35She would have scored you 14.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39D of course is Lord Coe.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43He would have scored you 66.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45The best answer on the board, do you know E?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's the wonderful Baroness Trumpington.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Oh, it's Baroness... That's what she looks like.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51She would have scored you 4 points.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Baroness Trumpington could be on our pump show as well.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- Of course!- Baroness Trumpington's Pumps And Buses.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59That's interesting. When she went on Desert Island Discs,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02her luxury was the crown jewels because if she said,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05"I had the crown jewels, then someone would come looking for me."
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Ha! You see, that's why she's a Baroness.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09So, here comes your second question.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Lesley and Gary, you get to answer it first
0:31:11 > 0:31:13but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It concerns...
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Award-Winning Musicals, Richard?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22We're going to give you five initials now of musicals,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24all of which have won the Tony award for Best Musical.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29OK, let's reveal our five sets of initials and here they are.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42I'll read those again.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Lesley and Gary will go first.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- WHISPERS:- I think the bottom one might be Showboat.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04We're going to go for FOTR, Fiddler On The Roof.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Fiddler On The Roof, say Lesley and Gary. Fiddler On The Roof.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Now then, Laura and Mark. That board is all yours, talk us through it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's Phantom Of The Opera is the top one
0:32:13 > 0:32:15and Les Miserables will be the second.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I don't know the other two at all.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20We'll have to go with Les Miserables, I think.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22OK, you want to go for Les Miserables.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25So we have Fiddler On The Roof from Lesley and Gary,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30It's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Very well done indeed, Fiddler On The Roof scoring you 12.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Laura and Mark have gone for Les Miserables.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Let's see if that's right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Yes, 39.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57A popular one there.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Very well done, Lesley and Gary.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01After two questions, it's 1-1. You're back in the game.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Two answers up there that would have beaten Fiddler On The Roof.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08The top one, Phantom Of The Opera, would have scored too many.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13That would have scored you 24. TBOM, do you know that one?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- It's The Book Of Mormon.- The Book of Mormon!- Yeah.- Ah! Of course it is.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Would have scored you 9 points. And the best answer on the board?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Sunset Boulevard!- Sunset Boulevard, which would've scored you 6 points.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26So, here comes your third question. Whoever wins this one
0:33:26 > 0:33:29goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Best of luck to both pairs, it concerns...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34SHE LAUGHS Clowns, Richard.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We're going to show you five clues now to facts about clowns.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:33:39 > 0:33:41is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Very best of luck.- Let's reveal our five clown facts and here they come.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Laura and Mark will go first.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32THEY WHISPER
0:34:32 > 0:34:33- Go for it?- You go.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Erm, we've looked, we're pretty blank
0:34:35 > 0:34:38apart from 2003 animated film about the clownfish.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Finding Nemo.- Finding Nemo.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Now, Lesley and Gary,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44talk us through as much of that board as you feel like, Lesley?
0:34:44 > 0:34:4719... The top one is Tears Of A Clown.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50..century entertainer, clown's got their nickname,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53everyone knows that and I can't think what its name is.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54I'm going to go for the bottom one,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57singer who released the single Clown.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Emeli Sande.- Emeli Sande, OK.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03So we've got Finding Nemo and we've got Emeli Sande.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Now, Laura and Mark said Finding Nemo.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11It's right.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE 55 for Finding Nemo.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Meanwhile, Lesley and Gary have gone for Emeli Sande.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Let's see if that's right,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- Come on, no! - Wins you the point!
0:35:33 > 0:35:3425 for Emeli Sande.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Very well done. Lesley and Gary, after three questions,
0:35:39 > 0:35:40you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yes, a very good answer, Emeli Sande.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Of course in France, Emeli Sande is the day before Easter Monday.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Erm, let's look at the rest of these, shall we?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You were right about Tears Of A Clown.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Would have scored you 53. Now this next one scored more than you think.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59It's coulrophobia, fear of clowns,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01and 12 people knew it in our 100.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Presumably people who suffer from it.- I know this one.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- And the best answer on the board. - Is Joseph Grimaldi.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Yeah, Joseph Grimaldi, it's exactly right. 7 points for that.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14He released his memoirs in 1838. Do you know who edited his memoirs?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Erm, Bill Deedes?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Charles Dickens.- Really?- Yeah. - How about that?- How about that?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26OK, so the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:26 > 0:36:30I'm sorry to say, Laura and Mark, our low scorers up to this point.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34We'll look forward to that very much indeed but meantime,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36thanks very much, Laura and Mark.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38APPLAUSE
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Well done.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Well, for Lesley and Gary, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Very well done, Lesley and Gary. You've seen off all the competition
0:36:49 > 0:36:51and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:59 > 0:37:02and the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07There we are. Well, very well done indeed in that head-to-head.
0:37:07 > 0:37:092-1 victory there.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12You've seen off, throughout the show, two returning pairs.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15What would you like to see in this final round? What would be...?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19The 1975 cup final, when we beat Fulham, I could name the players.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- OK! - OTHERS LAUGH
0:37:21 > 0:37:22You know it's not too late for me
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- to change these categories, don't you?- Yeah!
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Lesley, what would you like to see come up?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I've been happy with music and entertainment
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- but I'm not going to get them now. - OK, well, we'll see.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Let's hope there's something on that board that you like the look of.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Today's selection looks like this.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39We've got...
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Do you want to go for jockeys? - Well, what do you fancy?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Go on, you've been good. - Well, go on, go with you.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- You're good at jockeys.- Er...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58This could put a lot of pressure on me now because of horse racing.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Jockeys.- Yeah, it's going to be jockeys.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I think this is a dream category for you, Gary.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I'm going to be honest with you, I think you're going to like it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Here are your three different options.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09We are looking for
0:38:09 > 0:38:13any Jump Champion jockey between the '69/'70 season
0:38:13 > 0:38:15and the 2014/2015 season.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20We're looking for any Flat Champion jockey from 1970 to 2014.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Or we're looking for any Champion Apprentice jockeys,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26that's from 1989 through to 2014.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28So anyone who's won the Jump Champion jockey,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Flat Champion jockey or Champion Apprentice
0:38:30 > 0:38:32for any of those seasons, please.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Very, very best of luck.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36There we are. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:38:36 > 0:38:38to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:38 > 0:38:41is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Are you ready?- Mm-hm.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- How do you feel about it? - Seb Sanders, apprentice jockey.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- OK, I'll try and remember that one. - Peter Scudamore, jump jockey.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Yeah, Peter Scudamore, OK. - Peter Scudamore.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Flat Champion jockey, I'm trying to think of one going back a bit.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- How long have we got back? What years?- Can we ask, what years?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Yeah, '69 and '70.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Back to '69.- '69.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Joe Mercer?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13I know the name so most likely,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- somebody else could know that one, then.- Joe Mercer or Pat Eddery.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19What about Tom Scudamore?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Was he a champion? I don't think so.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Going for John Mercer.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Who was the first one? - Seb Sanders.- Right, OK.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32And Peter Scudamore, Tom Scudamore's...
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Yeah?- That one.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- I think that's about it.- Ten seconds left.- You happy with that?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Can't think of any more random ones? - Pretty random, aren't they?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- I think Seb Sanders is about the best.- OK.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47OK, well, you're happy with those. The time's just running out now.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Let's have your three answers
0:39:48 > 0:39:51and if you could say which category your answer is.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Champion Apprentice jockey, Seb Sanders.- Seb Sanders.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Jump Champion jockey Peter Scudamore.- Peter Scudamore.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- And Flat Champion, Joe Mercer.- Joe Mercer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01OK, now of those three,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- which is your best shot at a pointless answer?- Seb Sanders.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Seb Sanders goes last, least likely to be pointless?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Joe Mercer because I've heard of him.- Joe Mercer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order then,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15and here they are. We have got...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Three good answers on the board there,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26let's hope one of those is pointless and will win that jackpot for you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:281,000 quid, not a bad prize to be taking home.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Lesley, what would you do with your share of that?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Obviously, treat the grandchildren, as you do.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37And it's Gary's birthday at the end of this year, a big one.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- We'll put that towards going to Vegas, I think.- Very good.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Gary, anything else you want to add to that?- That's good enough for me.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45OK, perfect.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Well, there we are, three good answers, as I say, on the board.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51In the first instance, we were looking for Flat Champion jockeys
0:40:51 > 0:40:53and you gave us Joe Mercer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54This was the one you thought
0:40:54 > 0:40:56was probably least likely to be pointless
0:40:56 > 0:40:57but let's find out if it is.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00If it is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02How many of our 100 people said Joe Mercer?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It's right.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Now, if this goes all the way down to 0,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10you will leave here with £1,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13At the moment, Joe Mercer is taking us through the 20s,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15into the teens, into single figures.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Down it goes, still going down, still going down.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18You've done it, straight away!
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Look at that! CHEERING
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Very, very well done indeed. Superb.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Brilliant, well done, you.- Treat the grandchildren!- Oh, absolutely!
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Very well done indeed. Joe Mercer was a pointless answer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39I mean, that was your first answer. There we are.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Well, that wins you that jackpot of £1,000. Fabulous.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Lesley and Gary, very well done indeed.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Very well played.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Gary, from the second I saw that jockeys was up there,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I knew that you were going to walk away with this jackpot.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- Very well done. Peter Scudamore would have scored you 1 point.- Oh!
0:41:58 > 0:42:02You went for Seb Sanders for apprentice, Champion Apprentice.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- Another pointless answer. - Oh, well done!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12It would have also been a pointless answer for Flat Champion as well,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Seb Sanders. Two pointless answers in one go.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Well done, Seb. Now let's take a look at the different categories.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Jump Champions first. You could have had...
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Those were the only pointless answers for jump jockeys.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31AP McCoy obviously far and away the biggest scorer on that category.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Let's look at the Flat Champions...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Those are the only four again on that category.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41The biggest scorer there, Lester Piggott, Frankie Dettori
0:42:41 > 0:42:42also scored very highly in that category.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46And the Champion Apprentice jockeys, an awful lot of people on this list.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Far more pointless answers...
0:42:50 > 0:42:53In fact, everybody apart from Frankie Dettori.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Oisin Murphy, Amy Ryan and Hayley Turner, everybody else
0:42:56 > 0:42:59who's been a Champion Apprentice was a pointless answer there.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01So very well done if you said one of those.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And congratulations in the studio, terrific work.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Thanks very much indeed and thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Lesley and Gary, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Very well done indeed.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
