0:00:14 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the game where you are always striving for the lowest score.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Jenny.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39This is my childhood friend Sarah.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42She's from Derby and I'm from the West Midlands.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Alex. This is my brother Christian
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and we've travelled from Rainford in Merseyside.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm Alan and this is my partner Sally and we're from Newquay.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, my name is Phil. This is my granddaughter Polly
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- and we're from Cambridgeshire. - And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Well, thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show
0:01:07 > 0:01:10so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Here to do the heavy lifting like a husband on moving day,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Good afternoon to you. Like a husband on moving day?- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Like husbands on moving day are of any use whatsoever to anybody.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- True. True enough. - We had such a lovely show last time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33It was really good fun. We got two returning pairs from that show.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Alan and Sally got through to the head-to-head - very impressive -
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and Polly and Phil, our granddaughter and grandfather there,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42got knocked out in the second round which I thought was unfortunate.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45If you're a grandfather and you answer Pharrell Williams
0:01:45 > 0:01:47to any question, you should not be knocked out.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50That's my opinion. I think it was very unfortunate.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And Luke and Gavin, who got through to our final,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54they won the jackpot.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And they won the jackpot with the answer Algeria.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57If you didn't see it,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I'm just going to let you guess what the question was.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02You can always watch it on iPlayer, last time's show,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04but Algeria won them the money, so back to £1,000.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- But a great line-up of teams here, I think.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, yes, as you gather, Luke and Gavin won the jackpot
0:02:11 > 0:02:13at the end of last time's show,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So, remember this and this only.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28The pair with the highest score
0:02:28 > 0:02:31at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Our first category this afternoon is Countries.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Countries. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- who's going to go second. - (I'll go first.)
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04UN member states that begin with U or N.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Any country in the world that begins with the letters U or N, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09By country, we always mean a sovereign state
0:03:09 > 0:03:11that's a member of the UN in its own right,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13so that's what we're looking for.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15OK, there we are. Jenny, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Thank you.- Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'm a primary school teacher.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- And whereabouts is that? - In the West Midlands.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- What's the name of the school? - St Mary's Primary School.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- So, they'll all be watching, primed. - Yes, hopefully.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Now, what are your hobbies, Jenny?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Well, I've got two small children,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34so lots of my time is spent with them.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- What sort of age are they? - Three and one.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, life is very busy, doing lots of fun things.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- They take me back to my childhood as well.- Very good. Now, Jenny,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46UN member states beginning with U or N.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Always tough on that first podium.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Yes, and geography is my weakest subject.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Norway.- Norway, says Jenny. Norway.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Norway.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- OK.- It's right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:0551.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08That's not bad. APPLAUSE
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Gets us off to a good start.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Scary on that first podium there
0:04:12 > 0:04:14when you're asked a countries question.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Yeah, Norway. Begins with N. - So it does.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18If this was just countries beginning with U,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I would not have allowed it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- But the N, that's doing a lot of work for you there.- Thank you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25If it didn't have an N, it would be called Orway.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27LAUGHTER
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- That would be a shame, I think, wouldn't it?- It would.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31If it began with a Y, it would be Urway.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34LAUGHTER
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Alex.- Hi.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Good to have you here. What do you do, Alex?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm an oil rig mechanic, currently working on the largest
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- jackup oil rig in the world. - Where's that?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49That's currently in the North Sea, based off the coast of Norway.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Or Orway. What about that? LAUGHTER
0:04:51 > 0:04:54So, how do you get up there? You fly up to Oslo?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55No, I fly into Stavanger
0:04:55 > 0:04:58before a helicopter transfer out to the rig.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00How long do you spend out there? How long are your stints?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm quite fortunate, really.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I do two weeks in work before I have four weeks at home.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06AUDIENCE GIGGLES Oh, that's quite nice.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08That is quite fortunate.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Did you hear the audience there? They loved that.- Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Two weeks of work, four weeks at home.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- It allows for a lot of Pointless at home.- Very good.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17So, what else do you do in those four weeks?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Do you have another job on the side?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21No, I try to fill my time with hobbies.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I absolutely love my team sports. I'm very keen on American football.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I play for the Chester Romans as a defensive lineman.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Now, actually, oil rigs are huge, aren't they?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Do you get to do sport on the oil rig as well?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Do you have team sports there?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36As you can imagine, on one of the newest
0:05:36 > 0:05:38and the biggest oil rig in the world...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Is it the biggest oil rig in the world?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The biggest jackup oil rig in the world. It's quite impressive.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- That is putting it into context. - From its toes to the top,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47it's about the height of the Eiffel Tower.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49But is there a big gym there?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- We have a very well-equipped gym on board.- A stadium, I should think.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54We have table tennis on board,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56we have computer rooms, PlayStations.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- We're very well set up on board. - You must be sad to leave
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- when you come back for your four weeks.- I'm afraid, yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Alex, what would you like to go for?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It was a country I was fortunate enough to visit last year with work
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and it's Namibia.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Namibia, says Alex. Let's see how...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16What, so, that was part of your two weeks of work?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Actually, four weeks, as we were bringing the oil rig round
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- from Singapore- Oh, I see.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, you then got about seven months off after that, I hope.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Yes.- In lieu. Good. LAUGHTER
0:06:25 > 0:06:27OK, so, Namibia, says Alex.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Namibia.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3651 is our only score at this point and you pass it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Look at that, Alex.
0:06:40 > 0:06:4312. There we are. Well done. APPLAUSE
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Yeah, very well done. Windhoek is the capital of Namibia.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It means windy corner. Did you find it windy?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It was very warm driving through the desert.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Did you have to drive the oil rig?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59No, we were being towed on board a heavy-lift ship.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- In fact, the biggest heavy-lift ship in the world.- I was going to say.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06LAUGHTER
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I mean, I've seen some of the smaller heavy-lift ships
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and they're not really all that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Alan, welcome back.- Hi. - Great to have you with us again.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21So nearly there - through to the final last time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Remind us what you do, Alan. - I'm semi-retired.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm a writer and a blues musician.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Tell us about your career as a blues harmonica player.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35I started at the age of 13 in Newcastle Central Station
0:07:35 > 0:07:38where, in those days,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42railway stations used to have little booths you could make records in.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45So, I went in with a mate and that was my first recording.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Your first recording made in a booth on central station in Newcastle.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Yeah, yeah. - What did you do with the recording?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Have you still got it?- No. - LAUGHTER
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- "No, it's terrible." - One of my mates has got it,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58but I haven't seen him for 50-odd years, so...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, if he's watching now, maybe he can get in touch.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Newcastle station, by the way, it's the biggest,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- heaviest station in the world. - LAUGHTER
0:08:05 > 0:08:07In the world.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Now, then, Alan, what would you like to go for?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Well, I was going to say Namibia, so that's unfortunate.- Mm.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22So, I'm going to play it relatively safe
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and I'm going to say Uruguay.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Uruguay. I was just thinking it was time we had the U's a bit.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29They're getting a little bit underrepresented here.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Uruguay - let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:3851 our highest score, 12 our low.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39You've passed the high.
0:08:39 > 0:08:4140, there we are, for Uruguay.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43APPLAUSE
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Yeah, well played. An awful lot of U's in that name as well.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52They've got the deepest, most profitable U mines in the world...
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- In the world.- ..in Uruguay.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56That's where we get all of the world's U's from.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58They took a few of them before they sailed off
0:08:58 > 0:09:00on the biggest U-boat...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- LAUGHTER - ..in the world.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06They kept a few back. It used to be called Rgay.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08LAUGHTER
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Why? AUDIENCE GROANS
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Thank you very much indeed. Now, Polly.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Welcome back to Pointless. Lovely to have you here again.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Remind us what you do, Polly. - I'm a student in hospitality.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- And you're about to start a hotel management course.- Yes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Which is, what, two years? - Two years in four different hotels.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And do you know where they'll be geographically?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Or it could be anywhere?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I just got my first placement which is going to be in Surrey.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- In Egham, Surrey. - OK. Well, that's quite fun.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Have you done a little bit of research?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Did it look all right online?- Yes, it's a nice, big manor house.- OK.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And when you're not doing that, Polly, what do you get up to?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I quite enjoy amateur dramatics
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and I'm usually part of a drama group in the village
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- doing pantomimes at Christmas. - Lovely.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Now, Polly, what would you like to go for?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I don't know cos I was going to go for Uruguay,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- but now that's gone. - There's a pattern evolving here.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Everyone's going for the one just before.- A relay.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I think I'm going to go for Uganda. - Well, let's see.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Uruguay scored 40.- Yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Uganda - let's see how far down the column you get with that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:1551 is still our high score as you pass.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Look at that! 35. APPLAUSE
0:10:17 > 0:10:21So, Alan's done you a favour, effectively, there.
0:10:21 > 0:10:2235 for Uganda.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yeah, well played, Polly. A very beautiful country, Uganda.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Winston Churchill called it the Pearl of Africa.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Mm.- Mm.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Alex, very well done indeed. Namibia.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37That is the lowest score in the world.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39LAUGHTER
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Then we travel up to 35, where we find Polly and Phil,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45up to 40, Alan and Sally,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and then 51 is where we find Jenny and Sarah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You're not way ahead, Sarah, but we need a low score from you
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- in the next pass.- None, I'm afraid. - So, good luck with that.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55We'll come back down the line.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04OK, Phil, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Phil.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I'm a retired IT consultant, but I'm also a magistrate now.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And when you're not sitting on the bench, what do you get up to?
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Well, I'm interested in sport,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14but I have to say it's mostly watching now,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17although I still do a bit of skiing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I like watching cricket and rugby
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and watching Pointless, of course.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Well done. Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I hear it's the biggest quiz show in the world.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29LAUGHTER
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Phil, you are on 35.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34The high scorers are Jenny and Sarah on 51,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37so, yes, if you want to avoid being our new high scorers,
0:11:37 > 0:11:3915 or less is what you need.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'll go for Nicaragua.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Nicaragua, says Phil. I like it. Here's your red line.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49If you can get below this, which is low,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51then you're definitely into the next round.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nicaragua.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Look at that. Very well done indeed!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You needed 15. You got 14. APPLAUSE
0:12:06 > 0:12:0849 is your total.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Well done, Phil. - Very neatly done there.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Nicaragua in Central America, of course,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17What could be nicer?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Sounds lovely, doesn't it?- Doesn't it? Yeah, thank you very much.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Now, Sally.- Hiya.- Welcome back.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25And so we discovered last time
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- that you are an artist who sculpts in plastic.- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32How do you get your plastic delivered?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Does some sort of enormous lorry come and crane it off?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37No, it's not that big cos I use flat sheets, so I buy it,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41but I also get it from a scrap store which gets stuff
0:12:41 > 0:12:44that businesses have finished with, and then you're a member
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- and people can use it. - That sounds fun.- Yeah, it's great.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, you can just go and wander round and get your inspiration,
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I should think, see what's there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- It's very tempting to come out with lots.- Yeah, I bet.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55There you are in Cornwall -
0:12:55 > 0:12:57just the most beautiful place one can imagine.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59What do you like getting up to there?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02We do a lot of walking, but also friends are important,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- so I go for coffee a lot with friends.- Excellent.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- And travel to see other friends too.- Very good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10And they presumably come and travel to see you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Some do, but I think some people say they're going to come
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and then realise how far it is.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- That's kind of Cornwall's blessing and its curse, isn't it?- It is.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Hard to get to, but once you're there...- It's gorgeous.- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Now, 40 is your score. 51 still the high score.
0:13:25 > 0:13:2910 or less would assure you of a place in the next round.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Well, there is a pattern cos I was going to say Nicaragua.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- So, I'm going to say Uzbekistan. - Uzbekistan.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39You see, I think that's a better answer, isn't it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Well, we'll discover. Who knows? Uzbekistan. There is your red line.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44If you get below that red line with Uzbekistan,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47you are through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50It's right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Ooh, there we are. 18 for Uzbekistan.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 58.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I think that's enough.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Yeah, and Uzbekistan, as we said before,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07one of the only doubly landlocked countries in the world.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's landlocked by a series of countries which are also landlocked.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- It does not have very many deep-sea oil rigs, Uzbekistan.- No.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Now, Christian, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Good to have you here. What do you do?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I'm a mental health nurse.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26And how long have you been doing that?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Just over a year now.- OK. Enjoying it? Is that rewarding?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yeah, it's good. It's different every day.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Yeah, I should think. Challenging.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And what do you do when you're not doing that, Christian?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- What do you get up to? - Mostly watch TV.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42A lot of sports, a lot of catch-up TV.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And occasionally, I get off the couch and walk the dogs.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Oh, how many dogs have you got?- Two.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Are they good at watching sport as well?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah, they love it, unless my teams are losing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Then they go and wait in the next room.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Christian, you are on 12.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59The high scorers at the moment are Sally and Alan on 58,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02which means 45 would see you through.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- What do you want to go for?- I think I'm going to play it a bit safe.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- I'm going to go with Nepal. - Nepal, says Christian.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12OK, here is your red line. If you can get below this,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14you are through to the next round.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nepal.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20It's right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well done. You've done it, Christian.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Good answer. 17 for Nepal,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30takes your total up to 29. APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Great answer, Christian.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Well played. Lovely low score on that second podium for both of you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Sarah, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Sarah?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I have two jobs, actually. I work part-time in a supermarket
0:15:44 > 0:15:48and I'm also a massage therapist for people with special needs.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I see. And what's your job in the supermarket?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I work in stock control. I count tomatoes, basically.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Count tomatoes. LAUGHTER
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Are they loose tomatoes?- Not always.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02If you see one and you're feeling a bit peckish, are you allowed to...?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06No, actually. When you spend half your working life around them,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- they sort of lose their appeal. - Yes, I suspect they probably do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Get a little bit bored of them. - Sarah, you're on 51.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15If you can score 6 or less...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Yes, it's not going to happen, I'm afraid
0:16:17 > 0:16:20because geography is not a good subject for either of us.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I had two or three answers, which have now gone,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27so I'm left with the basics and I'm going to go with North Korea.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30North Korea. Not a bad answer at all. North Korea.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Here's your red line. Quite low.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37However, let's see if North Korea can get you down near that red line.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said North Korea.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43It's right.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51You got it! 5!
0:16:51 > 0:16:535. What about that? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Takes your total up to 56.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Very, very well done indeed, Sarah.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Good answer. - How did that happen?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Now, North Korea always scores very low on these rounds.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07We're always surprised by how low it scores, North Korea.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09There are only two countries in the world
0:17:09 > 0:17:11that would've seen you through.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13North Korea is one and the other answer,
0:17:13 > 0:17:14the best answer on the board, in fact,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- some Pointless fans will know. - Nauru.- Nauru,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18exactly, would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Let's go through the rest of the scores. 14 for Niger,
0:17:21 > 0:17:2415 for United Arab Emirates, 20 for New Zealand.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26That's quite a low score as well, isn't it?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ukraine would have scored you 21,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31United Kingdom would have scored you 37.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35You would have got 39 for Nigeria, 40 for United States of America
0:17:35 > 0:17:37and 40 also for the Netherlands,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and that's all the answers now, we've had.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46what an exciting sting in the tail there, Sarah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Very well done indeed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49But it means we've got to say goodbye to Sally and Alan
0:17:49 > 0:17:53who I had high hopes would be going through to the final this time
0:17:53 > 0:17:55after a very strong performance in the last show.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57We have to say goodbye to you. It's been lovely having you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Far too soon in this second show, but brilliant to have you on.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Thank you so much, Sally and Alan. APPLAUSE
0:18:04 > 0:18:08But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well done, everybody. Made it through to Round Two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18We've seen off one of our returning pairs
0:18:18 > 0:18:19and special mention to Sarah
0:18:19 > 0:18:21for a lovely low score with North Korea there.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Brilliant play. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33who's going to go second.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Literary sequels, Richard.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49On each board, we're going to show you the name
0:18:49 > 0:18:51of six literary sequels.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53We want you to tell us the name of the novel that first
0:18:53 > 0:18:56introduced the characters in the books you're about to see.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58With six on each pass, 12 in all to have a go at home,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- very, very best of luck. - Thanks, Richard.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02So, what are the original works that introduced
0:19:02 > 0:19:05the characters in these six books?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'll read those all again.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Now then, Jenny.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's probably the biggest answer again, but I'm going to say
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Alice In Wonderland for Through The Looking Glass.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46OK, Alice In Wonderland, says Jenny.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52It's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5659.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59APPLAUSE Tactically, that might have been
0:19:59 > 0:20:00a wise thing to do. You might have taken
0:20:00 > 0:20:02the only one off the board that others knew.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- 59 for Alice In Wonderland. - Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
0:20:05 > 0:20:08is its full title, but we always take Alice In Wonderland.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Six years later was Through The Looking Glass.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Or Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- to give it its full title. - Thanks very much.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Now, Christian.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19There's a couple that I'm toying with,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but I don't know whether to go for the safe answer,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23a tactical answer or not.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I think I'm going to go, because I'm a massive geek
0:20:26 > 0:20:30and it's really popular, Game Of Thrones, A Clash Of Kings.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Game Of Thrones, says Christian.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Let's see if that's right for A Clash Of Kings.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Let's see how many people said it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4259's our highest score. You pass it.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Oh, look at that. Good score!
0:20:43 > 0:20:4412, Christian.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47APPLAUSE Very well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Yeah, very well played. It was only intended to be a trilogy originally,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55the Game Of Thrones saga.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- I think they should make a TV show out of it.- That would be good.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I think it could work.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Polly.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05This board is all yours. If you really felt brave,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08you could go through it and fill in all our answers for us.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm afraid I only know one of them, which, I hope it's right,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14is the bottom one, So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16which is The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24It's right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Well, 59 is the highest score. You pass it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3017. Not bad
0:21:30 > 0:21:33at all, Polly. APPLAUSE
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Good score for Hitchhiker's Guide.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well played, Polly. I thought that might score a few more.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Yeah, there's five books in that series
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- and they've sold over 14 million copies worldwide.- That'll do.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Let's fill in the rest of this board, then.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn -
0:21:48 > 0:21:51the original book was The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54That would have scored you 15. Do you know Doctor Sleep?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56He released this quite recently,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58a follow-up to one of his most famous books.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- No, which one?- The Shining.- Right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Would have scored you 6. And Tears Of The Giraffe...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Is The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06That's exactly what it is.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's actually the best answer on the board.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Would have scored you 1 point. Well done if you said that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Thank you very much. We are halfway through the round
0:22:13 > 0:22:15so let's take a look at the scores. 12, the best score
0:22:15 > 0:22:17of that pass, Christian. Well done to you.
0:22:17 > 0:22:1917 is where we find Polly and Phil there.
0:22:19 > 0:22:2259, Jenny and Sarah. Now, Sarah,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I feel it's deja vu here.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Once again, we need a low score from you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- We need a bit of Sarah magic here. - Beginner's luck.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31A last-minute gem from you might keep you in the game.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:22:38 > 0:22:43OK, let's put six more books on the board, and here they are.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44We've got...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Now, remember, we are looking for the titles of the original works
0:23:13 > 0:23:16that introduced the characters in these books.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Phil, you're going to try and find the lowest-scoring one you can.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21The highest scorers at the moment are Jenny and Sarah,
0:23:21 > 0:23:26so 41 or less gets you straight through, Phil.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Right, I know two or three, I think.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35I'm going to go for Catching Fire and that's The Hunger Games.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The Hunger Games, says Phil.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Now, here is your red line. If you can get below that
0:23:39 > 0:23:41with The Hunger Games, you are into the head-to-head.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Hunger Games.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It's right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:5219.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56APPLAUSE 36 is your total, Phil.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00First Pharrell Williams, now The Hunger Games.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- He's very good, Phil, isn't he? - Yeah.- Very good.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Thanks very much. Now then, Alex.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Yes, I know a few up there.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I think I'm going to go with...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15..The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. - By Stieg Larsson.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19OK, 46 or less is your target.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21There's your red line. Get below that with
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:24:26 > 0:24:28The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32It's right.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35And you're through. Well done.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Ooh, just, at that. 39.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41APPLAUSE 39 takes your total up to 51.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well played, Alex. That was originally...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45That series was supposed to be ten volumes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48He died after the third one, Stieg Larsson.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Now, Sarah, I'm afraid to say you are the high scorers,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- even before you've given your answer. I'm sorry.- Never mind.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But do you feel like talking us through that board?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- No, is the short answer to that. - LAUGHTER
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I should know the James Joyce and I cannot bring it to mind.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The Harry Potter one
0:25:08 > 0:25:10is Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12The Scorch Trials, I've never heard of.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And the answer I'm going to try is Closing Time, Joseph Heller.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- I'm hoping it's Catch-22. - Catch-22. Surely. Surely. Let's see.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21No red line, I'm afraid, cos you're the highest scorers,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24but let's see how many of our 100 people said Catch-22.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's right. Good answer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Very well done indeed.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37APPLAUSE 19. 19 for Catch-22
0:25:37 > 0:25:39takes your total up to 78.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Well played, Sarah. Yeah, released 33 years after the original
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and it looks into the later lives of some of the characters.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Now, let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So, the Ulysses is a sort of sequel to
0:25:51 > 0:25:53A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Would have scored you 1 point. Well done if you said that.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Now, the JK Rowling one is actually
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's the first book in that sequence. 17 points for that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07And The Scorch Trials is a sequel to The Maze Runner,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09which is another very low scorer, another 1 point,
0:26:09 > 0:26:10so well done if you said that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:15 > 0:26:19with a high score of 78, I'm afraid, Sarah and Jenny.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22A lovely low score from you at the end of the last round
0:26:22 > 0:26:24kept you in. I'm afraid, this time, nothing could save you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27You were the highest scorers anyway. We'll see you again next time.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Look forward to that. Meantime, thanks very much, Sarah and Jenny.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34APPLAUSE
0:26:34 > 0:26:36But for Polly and Phil and Alex and Christian,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Very well done indeed, Alex and Christian, Polly and Phil.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53which currently stands, still, at £1,000.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, from here on in, you can pair up,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58chat before you give your answers. First pair to win two questions
0:26:58 > 0:27:00will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Musicians With Initials For Surnames, Richard.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Yeah, I'm going to show you pictures now of five musicians or singers
0:27:22 > 0:27:24who are known just with an initial as their surname.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Can you tell us the most obscure of these five, please?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Let's reveal our five musicians, and here they come.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32We've got...
0:27:58 > 0:28:02There we go. Five musicians with initials for their surnames.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Alex and Christian, you're our low scorers, so you'll go first.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10THEY WHISPER
0:28:16 > 0:28:22OK, we think we know a few up there, but we'd like to go for B, Jay Z.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24B, Jay Z.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27B, Jay Z, say Alex and Christian.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Now, Polly and Phil. - I only know A and E,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34so I'm going to go for A, which is Mel C.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Mel C. We've got Jay Z and we've got Mel C.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Alex and Christian went for Jay Z.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said that for B.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45It's right.
0:28:49 > 0:28:5434. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Polly and Phil, meanwhile, have gone for Mel C for A.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04It's right.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Ooh... Ah, 44. APPLAUSE
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Close, but, Alex and Christian, you win that one.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Mel C has had number-one singles in a quintet, a quartet,
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- as a duo and a solo artist. Only woman ever to do that.- Amazing.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26And Jay Z there, both of his names are initials, aren't they?
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Aren't they, though?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30And when Beyonce married him, she became Beyonce Z, which is nice.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It is nice.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35We will deal with D and E first. Do you know who D is?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Yeah, it's Kenny G.- I had no idea that's what he looked like.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I knew who he was. - You close your eyes,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- of course that's what he looks like. - 17 points for Kenny G.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- E is...Jessie J.- Of course it is.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And would have scored you 53.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52That looks like a waxwork of Jessie J.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yes. I don't know if she'd be pleased with that
0:29:56 > 0:29:58or not pleased with that. It isn't.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00She just has an amazing complexion.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Blemish-free.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Now, C is the best answer on the board.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07You get drummed out of hipsters club if you don't know this answer.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10That is the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Karen O! - And it's a pointless answer.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- It's nice that it's Karen zero zero. - That becomes Karen Ooh.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Karen Ooooh! - LAUGHTER
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Thank you very much, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Polly and Phil, you get to answer it first, but you have to win this one
0:30:24 > 0:30:26to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:28 > 0:30:32LAUGHTER It's about stuff.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Yeah, we are going to give you five clues to facts about stuff now.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37You'll see when it comes up on the board.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Just need you to give us the most obscure answer, please.- Excellent.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Polly and Phil will go first.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34THEY WHISPER
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I think it's going to be a high answer,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39but the 1997 film is The Full Monty.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42The Full Monty, say Polly and Phil. The Full Monty.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Now then, Alex and Christian, that board's all yours.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49That's the only one we knew for certain.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54We're going to take a stab at the US boy band and go for 911.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00911, says Alex. 911. Were they US, 911? Maybe they were.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Anyway, 911, says Alex and Christian.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So, Polly and Phil have gone for The Full Monty.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It's right.
0:32:15 > 0:32:1649.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19APPLAUSE
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Alex and Christian, meanwhile, have gone for 911, the US boy band.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said 911.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Bad luck, Alex and Christian.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36which means well done, Polly and Phil, back in the game.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Exactly what you needed to do. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42911 were a British band, I'm afraid, even though
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- they had an American phone number. - LAUGHTER
0:32:44 > 0:32:48The answer to that one was New Kids on the Block.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50New Kids on the Block would have scored you 23 points.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- The Secretary of Defence... - Donald Rumsfeld.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56It was Donald Rumsfeld. And that would have scored you 3 points.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59The US author is Tom Wolfe
0:32:59 > 0:33:01and that would have scored you 7 points.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04And one of the best Liverpudlian dramas of all time,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Boys From The Blackstuff, and his character was Yosser Hughes.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Would have scored you 18 points.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Donald Rumsfeld - the best answer on that board.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- Well done if you said that. - Thank you.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:33:19 > 0:33:22and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Grand Slam finalists defeated by Nadal or Djokovic.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31We're looking for the names of five tennis players.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33They've all been beaten in a Grand Slam final
0:33:33 > 0:33:37by one of these two gentlemen, but their names are in anagram form.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Can you unscramble them and tell us who they are, please?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42OK, let's reveal our five mixed-up tennis players,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44and here they are...
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Alex and Christian will go first.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08THEY WHISPER
0:34:12 > 0:34:16OK, we're not tennis buffs.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20We'll take a punt at the middle one and go for Roger Federer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Roger Federer. Roger Federer, say Alex and Christian.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Now then, Polly and Phil.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- No. - LAUGHTER
0:34:30 > 0:34:32There's only one other we know.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33The bottom one's Andy Murray.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35And that's the one you're going to go for.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37So, we have Roger Federer and Andy Murray.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Alex and Christian said Roger Federer.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Let's see how many of our 100 got that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43It's right.
0:34:47 > 0:34:5053 for Roger Federer. APPLAUSE
0:34:50 > 0:34:52It's a big one.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Polly and Phil, meanwhile, have gone for Andy Murray.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59It's right.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Oh, 69. Even bigger. APPLAUSE
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Very well done, Alex and Christian.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08After three questions, you're through to the final two-one.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well played. Now, that top one.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13If you got this at home, it's an absolutely terrific answer.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16The losing finalist at the French Open in 2005 to Rafa Nadal,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19and it was Mariano Puerta.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Very, very well played if you got that. 1 point.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23I suspect we only put him in cos his name
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- is an anagram of auto repair man. - LAUGHTER
0:35:26 > 0:35:30A driver Fred is David Ferrer. Would've scored you 10 points.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33And this is a good answer as well. If you got this, well done.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- That would've scored you 8 points. - There we are.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47I'm afraid, Polly and Phil. Round Two last time.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49One better here and very, very close.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I mean, very close indeed. It could have gone either way,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Thanks for playing, Polly and Phil. Great contestants.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:02But for Alex and Christian, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Very well done, Alex and Christian. You've seen off all the competition
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You now get a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:20 > 0:36:25and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Wow. Very well done indeed. First appearance on Pointless.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Straight through to the final. I mean, it's a shame for us.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33It means we just get one show of Alex and Christian.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Now, what would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- Any sort of science fiction. Football, obviously.- Geography.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- I know, it's a shame. - Any kind of big oil rigs, maybe?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46That would also be fantastic. Anything engineering-based.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Aw, wouldn't that be a dream? - Actors beginning with A.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You get to choose your category from the four that are up on the board.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Let's hope there's something up there that suits you.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Today's selection is...
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I'm a little bit tempted by The Blues Brothers, you know.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Quite geeky on my film.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Yeah, I know the film. Do you know what I mean? That's it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I don't know the songs, don't know the artists.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I know a few of the songs. The Blues Brothers?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- If you're comfortable with that, yeah.- Let's give it a go.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21OK, I think we'd like to give The Blues Brothers a go.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- The Blues Brothers it is. - OK, very best of luck, gents.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26This one's been on our finals board for a while.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Thank you for choosing it. We're looking for any of the following.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31We're looking for any of the nicknames
0:37:31 > 0:37:34for the eight instrumentalists in The Blues Brothers band.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35So, any of those nicknames.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39We are looking for any songs on the original soundtrack
0:37:39 > 0:37:41of The Blues Brothers on its original release.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Or we are looking for the name of anybody
0:37:43 > 0:37:46who acted in the film The Blues Brothers in 1980,
0:37:46 > 0:37:47according to IMDb.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51So, Blues Brothers nicknames, songs on the original soundtrack
0:37:51 > 0:37:54and any actors in the film. Very best of luck.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57So, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:57 > 0:37:59to come up with three answers.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01All you need to win that jackpot, £1,000,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- This is up to you. - Songs - Minnie The Moocher.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- I'll have to say yes. - HE LAUGHS
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Actors that were in there.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Obviously Dan Aykroyd.- John Belushi. - John Belushi. Very obvious.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Sweet Home Chicago is one of the songs on there.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- That's two answers. - I think we go for songs.- Yeah.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33We've got Sweet Home Chicago. One more.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Everybody.- Everybody.- No, no, no.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38There's the one in the church.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Dancing around in the church.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I can picture it, but I can't think of it.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Oh, the Peter Gunn Theme. OK.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48It's up to you. I'll let you do that.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I haven't got a clue for nicknames, though.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51I don't know about nicknames but
0:38:51 > 0:38:54we've at least got three songs there anyway.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Are they going to be low-scoring?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58I think Minnie The Moocher might be a good one for us.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Minnie The Moocher. - Ten seconds left.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Minnie The Moocher, Sweet Home Chicago,
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- I'm quite happy with. - Yeah? What was the last one?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05- Peter Gunn Theme.- Peter Gunn Theme.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- If you're solid, mate, I haven't got a clue.- OK.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Sounds like you're happy with your three answers.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13There's your time up. Let's hear what they are.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16They're all from the original soundtrack.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18We're going to go with Minnie The Moocher.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Minnie The Moocher.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Sweet Home Chicago. - Sweet Home Chicago.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- And the Peter Gunn Theme. - And the Peter Gunn Theme.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- I think Minnie The Moocher. - Minnie The Moocher goes last.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably the Peter Gunn Theme.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Peter Gunn Theme, we put first.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38and here they are. We've got...
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Well, best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Let's just suppose one of those wins you that jackpot.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50What would you do with it?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53I'm off to Mexico in a few weeks
0:39:53 > 0:39:55so it would go a long way towards some spending money.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Very good indeed. Christian?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I'd probably do what I was told with it, if honest.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03LAUGHTER Fair enough. Very well done, you.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05OK, well, as I say, very best of luck.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07In each of these cases, we're looking for songs
0:40:07 > 0:40:09from the original soundtrack of The Blues Brothers.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Your first answer was the Peter Gunn Theme.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Let's find out how many people said that.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17If it's right and it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19How many people said the Peter Gunn Theme?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It is right.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Let's see how far down the column we get with this.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27If it goes all the way down to 0,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29you will leave here immediately with £1,000.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Down it goes through the teens
0:40:30 > 0:40:31into single figures.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Still going down, still going down.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Ooh, 1! THEY GROAN
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Well, that was the one you thought was your least likely shot
0:40:45 > 0:40:47at a pointless answer and that went down to 1,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50so it's all looking very good for all your answers, I'd say.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Only two more shots, though, at today's jackpot.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Your next answer was Sweet Home Chicago.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58We're looking for tracks on the original soundtrack.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00If this is right and it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03How many people said Sweet Home Chicago?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It's right.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well, your first answer was Peter Gunn Theme.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12That took us all the way down to 1.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Sweet Home Chicago
0:41:14 > 0:41:16taking us down through into single figures.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Still going down, still going down.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18You've done it!
0:41:18 > 0:41:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Fantastic. Very, very well done indeed. Superb.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30There we are. Congratulations.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Sweet Home Chicago was a pointless answer,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Very well done indeed.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Terrific stuff. Been great from word go on today's show.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Minnie The Moocher - correct answer -
0:41:48 > 0:41:51would have scored 1 point as well.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54So 1, 1 and 0. Well done with Sweet Home Chicago.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59We will start with these nicknames.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Tom "Bones" Malone. You could've had Alan "Mr Fabulous" Rubin.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Murphy "Murph" Dunne.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I can't believe you didn't get Too Big, Alex.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- LAUGHTER - I can't believe I didn't get Murph
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- and the Murphettes. - Surely Willie "Too Big" Hall.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Those are the only pointless answers.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The other nicknames - Duck, The Colonel, Blue Lou and Guitar -
0:42:16 > 0:42:19all scored points. Now, the original soundtrack.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22That's where you won your money. There were other good answers.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Gimme Some Lovin' was a pointless answer.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Jailhouse Rock. Old Landmark.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26There's Sweet Home Chicago.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- The only other pointless answer was...- BOTH: She Caught The Katy.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32The biggest scorer was Everybody Needs Somebody To Love
0:42:32 > 0:42:36and Shake A Tail Feather. Let's take a look at some of the actors.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Carrie Fisher, John Landis,
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Ray Charles, Twiggy.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40All sorts of famous people in this film.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43John Lee Hooker was a pointless answer. Cab Calloway. Chaka Khan.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Lots of good pointless answers.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Thanks once again to our winning players, Alex and Christian,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. Very well done.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:00 > 0:43:02to the test on Pointless.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
