0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can
0:00:29 > 0:00:30and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Alison. This is my brother, John.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I live in Glasgow, in Scotland, and John lives in London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number two.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Nicola. This is my sister-in-law, Marlene,
0:00:48 > 0:00:49and we're from Essex.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Couple number three.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Hi, my name's Shirley.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00This is my son, Mark, and we're from Berkshire.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:08 > 0:01:10as it goes along. So that just leaves one more person
0:01:10 > 0:01:11for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15On a mission to erudition, it's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - A very familiar line-up to us here.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We've got three returning pairs from last time.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Podium two were our stars last time, Nicola and Marlene
0:01:30 > 0:01:31got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I say stars, they got knocked out on the head-to-head
0:01:33 > 0:01:35but of all the people coming back, you're the stars.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37On podium one, John and Alison got knocked out
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and Round Two there on podium four, Mark and Shirley, welcome back.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Kerrie and Jon, welcome.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We're all old friends here but I'm sure...I'm sure you'll...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- They'll enjoy the company, won't they?- I think they will.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- We're all firm pals.- I think so.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Thank you very much.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, Sarah and Jenny didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59There we are.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Now, I know you all know this but for Jon and Kerrie's benefit,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:16 > 0:02:17will be eliminated.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19That's it. That's the only thing we all need to know.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29who's going to go second?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Statues, Richard.- We're going to show you 15 pictures now
0:02:44 > 0:02:45of statues from around the world.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Can you tell us the people that they are portraying, please?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Brilliant. So we're going to put up an image of 15 statues.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54That'll stay up for the whole round,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56we won't be changing it halfway through.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00We just need you to name any person who is featured in statue form.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK, let's reveal our picture. Here it comes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09There they are. 15 statues.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Now then, John, welcome back.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Do you know, there's something poetic about this cos last time
0:03:13 > 0:03:16you were on that far podium and you knew everything on those boards,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19but by the time it got down to you it was pretty slim pickings.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- It was.- Yeah. Now, remind us what you do, John.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm a tour guide at Twickenham Stadium
0:03:24 > 0:03:28and I'm a producer for a talking newspaper.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Now, how did you get into Twickenham, though?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Is rugby a passion of yours? - Rugby's a passion.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34No, rugby's a passion and when I stopped working full-time,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39I cast around for things to do which I could enjoy
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and I live quite close to Twickenham,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43so it was an obvious choice.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And as a producer on the talking newspaper,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47is that in a sort of engineering capacity or is it...?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well, I could call it that but it's twiddling a few knobs and dials...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's an engineering capacity, John.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54..and hoping that it all comes together on the day. Yeah, exactly.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Brilliant. Now, John, statues. Statues, John.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What would you like to go for?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Hm...
0:04:00 > 0:04:05I think I will go for...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Abraham Lincoln.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Abraham Lincoln, says John.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said Abraham Lincoln.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15It's right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:2064. APPLAUSE
0:04:20 > 0:04:22That's OK. 64.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yeah, there he is on the top row in the middle there.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29That's the Lincoln Memorial. It's 99ft high.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Even the seated figure itself is 19ft high.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Is it?- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- That's enormous.- That is a foot and a half taller than me.- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Yeah, it is. LAUGHTER
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Thank you very much, Richard.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Nicola, welcome back to Pointless. - Hi. Thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Our low scorers in the head-to-head.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Through you went like a knife through butter and then...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- ..knocked out 2-0 in the head-to-head.- I know.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- I don't know what happened there. - Key lime pie.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oh, it's key lime pie, of course.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Now, Nicola, remind us what you do. - I run my own marketing company.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00You run your marketing company.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And when you're not doing that, you're a mad keen cyclist.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, a cyclist. Mad when I'm with Marlene but, yeah.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09What was your time when you did the London to Brighton?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Seven hours.- That's pretty good, isn't it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- No!- Isn't it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15When we were riding up, people were going back home.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17LAUGHTER
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yeah, but you went over the Devil's Dyke though.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- You didn't go the direct route, did you?- No.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We went up the Devil's Dyke like most of them did and...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- But it was good.- Now, Nicola, what would you like to go for?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28WHO, I should say, would you like to go for?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I will pick Nelson Mandela.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Nelson Mandela, says Nicola.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nelson Mandela.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38It's right.
0:05:40 > 0:05:4165. Very, very close.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44APPLAUSE A bit of a relief
0:05:44 > 0:05:46for John and Alison, no longer the high-scorers.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49That's in Parliament Square, in London.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It was unveiled in 2007
0:05:50 > 0:05:53and Nelson Mandela himself was there to see it unveiled.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58The only shame about that is that you can't see his shirt.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00You know, cos he always had nice patterns on his shirt.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- He had a nice floral shirt, didn't he? Yeah.- There we go.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Kerrie, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Lovely to have you here. From Newcastle?- Yes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- And what do you do, Kerrie? - I'm a communications officer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11How long have you done that?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I've just been there a year.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I worked for Leeds University before that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And what are your hobbies when you're not communicating
0:06:16 > 0:06:18for the housing people?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'm a bit of a gym rat.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Gym gerbil, surely a gym gerbil? LAUGHTER
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I'm a bit big for a gerbil. Although it's a big rat, isn't it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Anyway, so...- Anyway!
0:06:30 > 0:06:35Who would you like to go for from our famous statues here?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Well, I'm not entirely sure but I'm going to go for Fred Perry.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Fred Perry, says Kerrie.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Sounds good and it rhymes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fred Perry.
0:06:50 > 0:06:5365 and 64 are our only scores so far
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and you've whizzed past those.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Look, there you go, 22,
0:06:56 > 0:06:57very well done indeed.
0:06:59 > 0:07:0222 for Fred Perry.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah, now resides outside Centre Court, that statue.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07He was also world table tennis champion, Fred Perry.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- I didn't know that.- Yeah, it's pretty good going, isn't it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11That is good going.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Is it a different season, the table tennis season?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I know very little about table tennis on a professional basis.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17No, but it's smaller rackets.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22This is true. There we go. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Now then, Shirley, welcome back. - Hiya.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- It was Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time.- It was.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Remind us what you do, Shirley.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'm a barista at an independent coffee shop
0:07:31 > 0:07:34in Hartley Wintney, in Hampshire.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Now, that's nice. How big is your coffee shop?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It seats about 35 people.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Presumably it is the hub of Hartley Wintney?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- We would like to think so. - I should think so.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I mean, I imagine the coffee side of it is all well and good
0:07:46 > 0:07:48but it's the gossip, really, isn't it, Shirley?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Well, I like to keep, you know, mum on some of the things that I'm told.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Absolutely.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What would you like to go for on our board?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think I'd like to go for Eric Morecambe.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Eric Morecambe, says Shirley.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said Eric Morecambe.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06It's right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Well, you've passed the 65, 64 mark.
0:08:07 > 0:08:0854 is where
0:08:08 > 0:08:10you end up there, Shirley, not bad at all.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15There he is, bottom left.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18That's in Morecambe Bay, that is, and that was unveiled by the Queen.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Nice he's got his binoculars on, which I think is quite sweet.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yes, exactly.- Very nice. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30The best score of that pass was yours, Kerrie, very well done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Jon and Kerrie looking very strong there on 22.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Then up to 54, Shirley and Mark.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Then up to 64, John and Alison - not our high-scorers.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Then up to 65, Nicola and Marlene. Our low scorers from last time.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Just ahead, just by one click.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45So, Marlene, we need a low score from you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I hope you found someone nice and low-scoring on that board behind me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50We're going to come back down the line now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK. Now, Mark, welcome back.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Hello.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- We'll draw a veil over your... - Yeah.- ..the answer that saw you...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I say draw a veil, we won't, actually.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05LAUGHTER
0:09:05 > 0:09:09You gave us... We were looking for females in line to the throne
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and you...the evergreen Princess Margaret.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Yeah.- I know, I hate to...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It was heartbreaking to have to tell Mark,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- but I'm afraid she's no longer with us. I'm sorry.- Sadly, yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Just a few years out.- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm sorry that we had to be the ones to tell you that, Mark.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Remind us what you do, Mark. - I'm an air-hygiene engineer.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In the Berkshire area or...?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Wherever there's an extract system, I go!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- They only call you in when it's a bit...- Yeah.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So what are your tips for not...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I mean, do you just wear a mask or do you...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Do you have a nosegay?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43No. Wear your respirator -
0:09:43 > 0:09:46obviously, you don't want to get all the chemicals in your lungs -
0:09:46 > 0:09:48and have a really sharp scraper.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50OK. Now, Mark, you're on 54.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51The high-scorers are on 65,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55so 10 or less would keep you from being the new high-scorers.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yeah, we'll see about that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'm going to go with...
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Gandhi.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I don't know if I have to say a first name as well.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Mahatma Gandhi.- Mahatma Gandhi.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07There's your red line.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10If you happen to get below that, you're straight into the next round.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mahatma Gandhi.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:1865. There we are.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You equal our high score over here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22119 is your total.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yeah, that's also in Parliament Square -
0:10:25 > 0:10:27unveiled in 2015,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- though he did not turn up for the unveiling.- No.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I don't really want to tell Mark why.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34LAUGHTER
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- I think he's had enough bad news for...- I think so.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Jon, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Jon?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I'm a player liaison officer. - Whereabouts?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- At Leicester City Football Club. - That's quite fun.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50What does that actually mean?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You're the go-between between the manager and the players?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Absolutely, yeah. It's helping players that come from abroad
0:10:55 > 0:10:56to settle in.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Relocating them, finding schools for their children.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Oh, I see. That's quite nice. You bed them in,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- make sure they're happy.- I'm like a surrogate father.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06You basically take them round the Ferrari dealership...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09LAUGHTER ..and say, "This one's very nice."
0:11:09 > 0:11:10It has happened.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- It's that kind of thing?- Yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Ah, that's fun.- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18And what do you like doing when you're not being a father figure
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- to all the...?- I really enjoy cycling.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I watch football as well, I like northern soul music,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26anything from the '90s - Britpop, that era as well -
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Stone Roses that sort of thing. - Very good indeed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Now, Jon, lovely low score from Kerrie in the first pass.
0:11:32 > 0:11:3496 or less gets you through.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I mean, really, couldn't be simpler.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39OK. Well, I'm going to play it really safe, I think,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and say Michael Jackson.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Michael Jackson, says Jon.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45OK. Michael Jackson. There is your red line.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47If you can get below that with Michael Jackson,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49you're into the next round.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52There we are, you've done it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:5567.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Takes your total up to 89.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yeah, there he is on the bottom row there outside...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05That's when he was outside Craven Cottage,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Fulham's football ground.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I loved it, loved it. - Where's he gone to?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- It's in the National Football Museum in Manchester.- Is it really?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Why is it associated with football now then?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Well, it's because Mohamed Al-Fayed was friends with Michael Jackson
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- and Michael Jackson once came to a game...- And gave him...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26No. ..and Mohamed Al-Fayed commissioned the statue.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It looks like a waxwork.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29So he put it there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31All the fans immediately went, "We cannot have this.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32"We cannot have this here."
0:12:32 > 0:12:35And he went, "Well, I'll tell you what,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37"why don't you go and support another team?"
0:12:37 > 0:12:39And all fans went, "Oh, all right. You can have it,"
0:12:39 > 0:12:41and it's stayed there ever since.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And then the new owner got rid of it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- I loved it.- Hilarious.- Yeah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Brilliant, there we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Now, Marlene, you were the high-scorers.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52No longer.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55If you can score 53 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Remind us what you do, Marlene.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58I'm a personal assistant.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59A personal assistant.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I mean, aside from cycling,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03does cycling now take up a lot of your time?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- A fair chunk, yeah.- How many bikes have you got?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Hm...five.- Really?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11How many bikes are in regular use?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Two.- And is one a sort of more comfy bike
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- and the other one more serious racing bike?- Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- So you only get the racing bike out when Nicola comes round?- Exactly.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Now, Marlene, how are you feeling about what's remaining
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- on that board?- Not very confident. - Oh, dear.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I think they'll all be high scores, so we'll see.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Margaret Thatcher.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Margaret Thatcher, says Marlene.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Margaret Thatcher. Here is your red line.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Well, you never know.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Let's see how far down the column you get with Margaret Thatcher.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48If you pass that red line, you're into Round Two.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52It's right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Oh, I'm sorry, 75. APPLAUSE
0:13:57 > 0:14:0175 - a high score, taking your total up to 140.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03For what it's worth, Alison doesn't look like
0:14:03 > 0:14:04she's brimming with confidence.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08So the round is not over yet by any means, is all I'm saying.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, there's Margaret Thatcher right in the middle there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13A bronze statue, which is at the House of Commons.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Alison.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Now, that is a pretty hard position to be in there
0:14:19 > 0:14:23because all the nice ones have gone and you're left with the...
0:14:23 > 0:14:26It's a bit like your experience on the far podium last show, in fact.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Yeah.- Alison, remind us what you do.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'm a civil servant.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- A civil servant up in Glasgow.- Yes. - And what are your interests?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Erm...cooking, sewing, knitting, gardening, cycling...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- It seems to be the in thing at the moment.- It certainly is...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- And tennis.- And tennis?- Yes.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Very good. Do you play or do you watch or do you do both?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50I used to play quite a lot competitively as a junior
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- and then sort of stopped when I had children.- Good stuff.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Now, Alison, here is your board.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What you could do if you wanted is talk through the various...
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Er, no. There's not many left that I even like the look of at all.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10There's one I'm toying with, but I'm not confident about it at all.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Erm... There's two I know.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17And I will go with...Lord Nelson.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Lord Nelson, says Alison.- Yes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Lord Nelson. OK. Well, here's your red line.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Lord Nelson. If he can get you below that red line, he's done his duty.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lord Nelson.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Well done. Good enough.
0:15:37 > 0:15:3959 is what that scores you. APPLAUSE
0:15:39 > 0:15:41123 is your total.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yeah, and that's the statue at the top of Nelson's Column
0:15:46 > 0:15:47in Trafalgar Square, of course.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48There he is on the bottom.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Now, let's go through the rest of these.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- The top left...- Oscar Wilde. - ..is Oscar Wilde.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And if you said Oscar Wilde, it would've scored you 14.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Now, you know I have very bad eyesight.- Yes.- You know that.- Yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Can you guess who I thought the fourth one along was?- C-3PO.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- I did think it was C-3PO. - LAUGHTER
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I thought, "Well, is that a person?" Of course it is not.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13When I looked closer at my little picture of it here...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- It's Prince Albert.- Prince Albert from the Albert Memorial, yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19That would have scored 4 points, so it's a terrific answer.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Second row that is Alison Lapper,
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Marc Quinn's statue of Alison Lapper
0:16:23 > 0:16:26that was on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27It's a terrific answer Alison Lapper.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It was the best answer on the board actually. 2 points.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Then just past Margaret Thatcher we move on to...- Charles Dickens.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36..Charles Dickens. It would've scored you 9 points.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Then we have...- The Queen.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39..Queen Elizabeth II.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42She would have scored you 64.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Then next to Eric Morecambe, I got this one wrong as well,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48again with my eyesight. I thought it was Roman Abramovich.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Oh, really?! LAUGHTER
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Same sport, Alex Ferguson that is. 10 points.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- And then right at the bottom is... - Freddie Mercury.- ..Freddie Mercury.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's a pretty monstrous...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01It actually looks quite good from that angle, but it's not brilliant.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I bet it's better than the Michael Jackson one.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- Hm.- Yeah, I bet it is.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Not as good as C-3PO but better than Michael Jackson.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10No, not as good as C-3PO. There we go.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So, at the end of our first round, the pair we are saying goodbye to
0:17:14 > 0:17:18with their high score of 140, our low scorers last time.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I'm so sorry, Marlene and Nicola,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21it's far too soon to be saying goodbye to you
0:17:21 > 0:17:23but it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Thank you so much for coming along and playing. Marlene and Nicola.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28APPLAUSE
0:17:29 > 0:17:32But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So here we are in Round Two
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and we've seen off one of our returning pairs,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45so congratulations for that and well done to Kerrie,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- our lowest scoring contestant in that first round.- Thank you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Very good indeed, strong work.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:55 > 0:17:56The English Language.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:59 > 0:18:00who's going to go second?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And the question concerns...
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Cat words, Richard.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15On each board we're going to show you six definitions of words
0:18:15 > 0:18:16that begin C-A-T.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19We're also going to show you the number of letters in those words.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Can you tell us what those words are, please?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- so best of luck.- OK. So let's reveal our six clues
0:18:26 > 0:18:27and here they are.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'll read all of those again.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Alison.- Right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Yeah, it doesn't look too bad.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I think I'm going to go for the fourth one down
0:19:28 > 0:19:29and have catacomb.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Catacomb.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Catacomb, says Alison. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40It is right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:4446.
0:19:46 > 0:19:4746 for catacomb.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Well played, Alison. Yeah, there's very famous catacombs in Paris.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54They call it the world's biggest graveyard -
0:19:54 > 0:19:59six million people buried there in the Paris catacombs.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You can go down there. It's quite a sight.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Hm.- I know you like going under cities.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I love going under a city.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Never happier.- Never happier.- Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11And Rome, of course, they have amazing catacombs there.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14There we are. There we are.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Now, Jon.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Yeah, I know a few.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I think I'm going to go for the last one - catapult.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Catapult, says Jon.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Catapult. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said catapult.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33It's right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:3852 for catapult. APPLAUSE
0:20:41 > 0:20:43The last time they were used on a large scale
0:20:43 > 0:20:44was in the early stages of World War I,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- they still used catapults in the trenches.- Really?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yeah, they threw hand grenades into enemy territory.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53They were replaced with mortars but, yeah, they were still using them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55There you are. Now, Mark.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This board's all yours. Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Yeah, I can do. I know them all apart from the second one down.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The first one's a catnap.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Second one down I don't know.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Third one's a cathedral...
0:21:10 > 0:21:15..and then the fifth one's a catastrophe.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Erm...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20They both took the answers that I was going to give.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24So I'm just going to go with the top one,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I hope catnap.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30OK, catnap. Let's see how you do with catnap.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Well, it's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Oh-yee! Look at that. 87.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38APPLAUSE
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It could have gone any way, that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It could have been surprisingly low.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm afraid it was surprisingly high, though, 87.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It was, yeah. I love a catnap. Do you? Oh, my goodness.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50From the moment you have children onwards,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- you never ever refuse a catnap. - Never.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It just sucks all the sleep out of you for so long.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Even though mine are teenagers, I've never caught up.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I'll take any catnap. I'd sleep now if I was allowed to.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I am asleep now.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06The person or thing that precipitates an event
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- is the best answer there.- Catalyst. - Catalyst. Yeah, of course it is.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11That would have scored you 26.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You're right about cathedral, Mark.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15That would have been a better answer for you
0:22:15 > 0:22:16cos it would have scored you 57.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And you're right about catastrophe as well
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and that would have scored you 66.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26We're halfway through the round, so let's have a look at those scores.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2846 the best score of the pass, Alison. Well done.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Alison and John looking pretty strong as contenders
0:22:31 > 0:22:32for the head-to-head at this point.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Then up to 52, Jon and Kerrie.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Then up to 87, Mark and Shirley.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Nothing wrong with that, Shirley, but a nice low score from you
0:22:39 > 0:22:41should keep you in the game, so best of luck.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51OK, let's put six more definitions up on the board - cat words.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52And here they are.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Now then, Shirley.- Yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40What would you like to go for? You're the high-scorers there.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I think I'll go for the last one, which is catatonic.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Catatonic, says Shirley.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Let's see how far down the column we get, though.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53It's right.
0:23:57 > 0:23:5947. APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:0147 takes your total
0:24:01 > 0:24:03up to 134.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yeah, it's what cats drink with cata-gin
0:24:05 > 0:24:06when they want to get drunk.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Oh, cata-gin.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Yeah, cata-gin and catatonic.- Yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Thank you very much. Hmm, thank you. Now, Kerrie.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18OK, I'm going to go for the third one down.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I think it's right but I would have thought
0:24:20 > 0:24:22it had more letters than this,
0:24:22 > 0:24:23but catamaran.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Catamaran. Catamaran, says Kerrie.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28- Have you counted them on your fingers?- Yeah!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31And is it not tallying?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, I just thought there would be some double Rs or something in there
0:24:34 > 0:24:37but for it to fit there's no double letters, so...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Let's hope... Let's hope, Kerrie.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Now, if you can score 81 or less, you're into the next round.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said catamaran.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46There's your red line.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Absolutely right, Kerrie, very well done.
0:24:51 > 0:24:5364. APPLAUSE
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Gets you through. 116 is your total.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Yeah, and spelt with no double letters at all.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Double hulls, but no double letters, so very good answer.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- There we are.- Been around for thousands of years, catamarans.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Really?- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- I mean, not the same one.- No. That would be...- A lot of them sunk.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Yeah.- The idea of them.- Mm.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Thank you. Now, John.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You are the last person to have this board.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20If you wanted, you could talk through all of those answers
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- and fill in the blanks. - I'll have a go.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The top one, I think, is cattle.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27The next one is catwalk.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32The fourth one, I think, might be cataract, but I'm not certain.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I'm going to go with the fifth one, which I think is categorise.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Categorise, says John.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40OK, you want to score 87 or less.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Lovely high red line there.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Get below that, you're into the head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Categorise. How many people said it?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Very well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Nice, low answer. Look at that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5633.
0:25:57 > 0:26:0033. Our lowest two answers of the round, in fact, on this near podium.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Well played, John.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04You actually knew the best answer on the board, which is cataract.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08A large waterfall. That would've scored you 15 points.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So very well done if you said that at home.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15You're right about the ruminant animals. They are cattle.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17That would've scored 57.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And the biggest scorer on the board is catwalk.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That would've scored you 83.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Thanks very much, Richard. We're at the end of our second round.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26The pair we are having to send home, I'm very sorry to say,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29is Shirley and Mark over there with 134.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Just, I mean, catnap, I'm afraid, was...
0:26:31 > 0:26:36It was something I like to do. So I thought I'd use it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Well, you know, nice to include it for that reason.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41But I'm afraid it has seen you home. We have to say goodbye now.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Thank you so much for playing, Shirley and Mark.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47APPLAUSE
0:26:47 > 0:26:50But for Kerrie and Jon, John and Alison,
0:26:50 > 0:26:51it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Congratulations, John and Alison, Kerrie and Jon.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:27:02 > 0:27:05play for that jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10You know the score from here on in. You play as a pair.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, John and Alison, it was Round One last time.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Now look at you. Now look at you!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Our lowest scoring pair, our golden couple.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Very impressive indeed. Kerrie and Jon, very well done indeed.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You had some fabulous answering.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I mean, Kerrie, particularly from you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Lovely low score in the first round.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I think now you put your heads together,
0:27:32 > 0:27:33this should be extremely close.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Chas And Dave.- Yeah. Both of them. - Chas And Dave.- AND Dave.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We're going to show you five titles of songs now from
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Chas & Dave's Greatest Hits. But we've put them in anagram form.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Wonderful. OK. Here are five anagrams of Chas And Dave.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Here they come.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I'm not sure they didn't actually sing A Bad Greeting Huh Yin No.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33John and Alison, you're our low scorers, go first.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35HE WHISPERS
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Should we just go for an answer?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Should we just go for one?
0:28:40 > 0:28:41I don't know any.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43THEY WHISPER
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Not easy. Um...
0:28:49 > 0:28:53As you say, I think some of those were the song titles.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56So, I think we're just going to go for Gertcha.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Gertcha. For which one? - The third one. The middle one.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01I just have to ask, for form's sake.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Gertcha, you're going to say for the middle one.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Now, Kerrie and Jon, talk us through all the others.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11The top one is Rabbit.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14The bottom one is Snooker Loopy.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Don't know the fourth one.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19But we're going to go for the second one.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Which is Ain't No Pleasing You.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Ain't No Pleasing You. So Gertcha and Ain't No Pleasing You,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29which I'm going to go on record and say is one of my favourite songs
0:29:29 > 0:29:32of all time. So there we are. John and Alison, Gertcha.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gertcha.
0:29:43 > 0:29:4531.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47APPLAUSE
0:29:47 > 0:29:4831 for Gertcha.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Now then, Kerrie and Jon have gone for Ain't No Pleasing You.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's right.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03And it wins you the point.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Well done, you.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Look at that. Down it goes to 6.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very good indeed.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12It means, Kerrie and Jon, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Yeah, their biggest hit, actually, Ain't No Pleasing You.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17And as you say, genuinely, beautiful song.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18- Such a lovely...- It's a lovely song.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21If you don't know it, go and download it.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It's worth doing. 6 points for that.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Rabbit is the top there. That's the biggest scorer.
0:30:27 > 0:30:3054. You were quite right about Snooker Loopy.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33That would've scored you 16, I didn't see Snooker Loopy.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34And the last one.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36You'd have to know your Chas And Dave to get that one.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39It is The Banging In Your Head. It's a pointless answer.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41So, very well done if you got that.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Thank you very much indeed. OK, so here comes your second question.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Now, John and Alison, it's gone slightly against the grain here.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Cos Kerrie and Jon will get to answer this first.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52But you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53It concerns...
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Famous Katies. Richard.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00We're going to show you five pictures now of famous people
0:31:00 > 0:31:02known as Katie. Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06OK, let's reveal our five famous Katies. And here they come.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07We have...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34There we are. Five famous Katies.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Kerrie and Jon, you will go first.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44OK, we'll go for C.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45I think it's the sister
0:31:45 > 0:31:48of a probably more famous brother.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Katie Walsh.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Katie Walsh, say Kerrie and Jon. Katie Walsh.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- Now then, John and Alison, that board is all yours.- Hmm.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58That's a good answer.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01We were hoping to go for that one.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03A I've seen documentaries about,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- but I can't remember...- The surname.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- ..her surname.- First name's Katie. - Yeah, the first name's Katie.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11We can hazard a guess, yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- B is Katie Price.- Mm.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15D I don't know.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18D and E we're not sure.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- I don't think we're going to beat Katie Walsh with...- No, we're not.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24..B. So...
0:32:24 > 0:32:26We're going to have to go Katie Price.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Katie Price. Katie Price - B.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31So, we have Katie Walsh, we have Katie Price.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Kerrie and Jon said Katie Walsh.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Let's see how many of our 100 said that for C.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39It's right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Look at that.
0:32:46 > 0:32:485 for Katie Walsh. Bravo.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Good answer.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Now, John and Alison,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57you've got to hope you can beat that with Katie Price for B.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Let's see if you can.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's right.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Yeah. There you go.
0:33:04 > 0:33:0779. APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Which means, Kerrie and Jon, after only two questions,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- you're straight through to the final 2-0. Very well done.- Well done.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16It's the best answer on the board as well.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Nothing they could have done about it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20In fact, you scored 11 points over two questions.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Very impressive performance.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24A is Katie Piper.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Right.- She would've scored you 21.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28As you say, there's all sorts of
0:33:28 > 0:33:30very, very good documentaries.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32D is the English singer-songwriter
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Katie Waissel.
0:33:35 > 0:33:3711 points for that.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38She was on The X Factor
0:33:38 > 0:33:39many years ago.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- And E is...- Katie Holmes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Katie Holmes, who, of course,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44was married to Tom Cruise.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- 41 points.- Can I just say what fine ears she has?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48LAUGHTER
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- She has very good ears, you're quite right.- Very good ears.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51I like a good ear.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- So weird that marriage didn't last(!)- I know!
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- I didn't understand that at all. - I mean, who'd have thought?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- He'll find the right woman one day. - Won't he?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03SNIGGERING Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'm afraid it's John and Alison.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It's been lovely to have much more of you this time round
0:34:10 > 0:34:12than we did last time.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Cos that was just far too soon to be sending you back.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16This time you've come so close to the final.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Anyway, great to have you on the show.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Thank you so much, John and Alison. - Thank you.- Well done.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- APPLAUSE - Well done.- Yeah.- Good luck.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27But for Kerrie and Jon, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Many congratulations, Kerrie and Jon.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You have seen off all the competition
0:34:36 > 0:34:38and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47You now have a shot at our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52There it is.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Well, I think we've put you through the right sort of paces.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59We had famous statues, we had words beginning with cat.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02We had Chas And Dave songs. And we had Famous Katies.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And here you are. You've come through smiling.
0:35:04 > 0:35:072-0 in the head-to-head. There's no arguing with that.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08We still haven't had any sport,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10which I'm guessing you are itching for.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12A sport round would be good. Wouldn't it?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Yeah, for one of us.- For one... What would be good for you, Kerrie?
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- Music or films.- OK. Well, let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Good luck.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24There we are.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- 1990? 16 years old.- Go on, then.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Yeah?- Yeah.- You choose.- No, no. Go on.- What do you want?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- Classic American...?- Yeah. That...that might be better.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Go on, then.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43No, we'll go for 1990.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- 1990?- Yeah.- OK, 1990 it is.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49We are looking for any act who had a number one single in the
0:35:49 > 0:35:53UK charts during 1990, according to the Official Charts Company.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56We are looking for anyone who received an acting
0:35:56 > 0:35:58credit in Home Alone, according to IMDb.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Or we are looking for any teams who qualified
0:36:02 > 0:36:04for the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So, anyone who had a number one in 1990, Home Alone actors,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10and 1990 FIFA World Cup teams.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Now, as always,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:36:19 > 0:36:21to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25There they are.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Your time starts now.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28What do you fancy? Number ones,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'd say something like KLF.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Maybe around that era.- No.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Is that later?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Maybe a bit later. Um...
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Wet Wet Wet, something like that?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Yeah, Wet Wet Wet.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Bryan Adams.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43Spice Girls, that was...
0:36:43 > 0:36:47No. That's about '96, Spice Girls.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48What about Home Alone?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49I can't think.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53I don't... No. I think John Candy had a cameo in it, but I'm not sure.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Do you want to go for that?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Could do. Yeah.- That sounds good.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58KLF I think might be around then.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Were they number one, though?- Yeah.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Um...
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- I think so.- Oh, dear.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Bros? Or is it too late? - Nah, it would be '90,
0:37:12 > 0:37:13wouldn't it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- No, '89.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I think Bros.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Jason Donovan? - I'd say Bros, KLF, as a punt,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24then John Candy.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- OK.- Yeah?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28OK, that, I'm afraid, is your time up.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I need your three answers. What can you give me?
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- OK, so, for number ones, we'll take a punt on KLF.- KLF.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- And the other one was? - Jason Donovan.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Jason Donovan.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45And I think John Candy had a cameo in Home Alone.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- OK, so John Candy as your third answer.- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51- John Candy.- I think John Candy.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54John Candy goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- KLF. I'm not sure...- KLF first. Jason Donovan in the middle.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order then.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01And here they are. We've got...
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Well, best of luck.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Now, let's just say, one of these acts might,
0:38:09 > 0:38:13just might be right and might be a pointless answer.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17What would you do with your two grand if you won it?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Um, well, I've already been told what I'm going to do with it.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22My children are going to half it between them.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- So, I haven't really got a choice. - OK, well, that's nice.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Kerrie, how about you?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Probably go on holiday.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Very good. OK, best of luck. Three answers up there.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Surely one of them should be pointless.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Surely. Anyway, your first answer was KLF.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39In this case, we were looking for number one acts from 1990.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41This is the one you thought was probably least likely to be
0:38:41 > 0:38:45pointless. But let's find out how many of our 100 people said KLF.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46For £2,000, is it pointless?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Nope. Bad luck.- Sorry.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Bad luck. I think you were a year out.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56I think. That's my hunch.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Unfortunately, an incorrect answer. So, not a pointless answer.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Your next answer was Jason Donovan.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Again, we were looking for number one acts from 1990.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Let's see if it's right, let's see if it's pointless.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12If it is, it'll win you £2,000. How many people said Jason Donovan?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18No! Bad luck.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20KERRIE LAUGHS Bad luck.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm afraid that's also incorrect,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Everything is now riding on John Candy.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30In this case,
0:39:30 > 0:39:34we were looking for actors credited with an appearance in Home Alone.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36If this is pointless, it'll win you £2,000.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38How many people said John Candy?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- It's right.- Wow.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Now, your first answer, KLF, was incorrect.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Your second answer, Jason Donovan, I'm afraid,
0:39:50 > 0:39:51was also incorrect.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55John Candy is taking us down through single figures. Still going down.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Oh, no!- Oh!- Oh!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00APPLAUSE
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Ohh, that's unfair.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12That's a great answer. But I'm afraid, I'm really sorry,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20That will roll over onto the next show.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23But what a performance. You've been brilliant right across the show.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Absolutely fantastic. 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27No-one can take THAT away from you.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Nor can they take away the Pointless trophies that you each take home.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33So there you are. Very, very well done for that.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Ah. Kerrie and Jon, you knocked out three returning pairs as well.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We can see how close you were with the John Candy question.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Just 1 point.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49But you were also very, very close with your other two answers as well.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54Jason Donovan had number ones in 1989 and 1991.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Not 1990. I suspect he would've scored points,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58looking at some of the other names on the list.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I'll go through in a bit.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03KLF had a number one with 3AM Eternal in February 1991.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04- Oh.- Aw!
0:41:04 > 0:41:07I think they might have been pointless.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09We'll take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You'll see where they would've fitted in.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12So these are the number one acts.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Bombalurina,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16who did Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19That was a pointless answer. With Timmy Mallett.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21The Beautiful South. A Little Time was a number one in 1990.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24The Righteous Brothers. Obviously that was Unchained Melody.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Vanilla Ice with Ice Ice Baby was number one for four weeks.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You also could've had Adamski and Seal,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32both of those would have been good answers, for Killer.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Maria McKee for Show Me Heaven.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Partners In Crime for Turtle Power, of course.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37The theme tune to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40The Steve Miller Band would have been a pointless answer
0:41:40 > 0:41:41for The Joker.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Biggest scorer there was Madonna. Kylie Minogue scored 6.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47So I suspect Jason Donovan would have scored something.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48But KLF a different matter.
0:41:48 > 0:41:501 point there for England and New Order.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Cos of the World Cup in 1990. It would have been a good answer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:541 point, though.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Let's take a look at Home Alone actors.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Bill Erwin was a pointless answer. Hope Davis.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Kieran Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's brother would have been
0:42:03 > 0:42:05a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Roberts Blossom, who played the next-door neighbour.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11The only people who scored points in that one were Macaulay Culkin,
0:42:11 > 0:42:12a very big scorer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Joe Pesci, Catherine O'Hara, John Heard, Daniel Stern and,
0:42:15 > 0:42:16I'm afraid, John Candy.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19They're the only people who scored anything at all there.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22So if you got anything else at all at home, very well done.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26And FIFA World Cup teams. How soon we forget.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Five pointless answers here. You could've had...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Oh, Yugoslavia, remember them?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35And Colombia was also a pointless answer there.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39England, unsurprisingly, the biggest scorer of all with 64.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Very well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44And a one-pointer and two just the wrong year,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46really, really tough luck. A terrific performance.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kerrie and Jon.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51But it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Thank you for coming on. Brilliant contestants.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Kerrie and Jon. APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Well, sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:43:01 > 0:43:05rolls over onto the next show, when we'll be playing for £3,000.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
