0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. And welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- And couple number one.- Hi, my name's Laura. This is my mum, Chris.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I live in South Shields and she lives in North Yorkshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Josh and this is my friend Joe.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- We're both from Birmingham. - Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Lyndsay.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is my sister, Alison. We're both from York.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- And finally, couple number four. - Hello, my name's Hamza.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55This is my friend Daryl. And we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We will find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:03 > 0:01:05as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10He is Osman, hear him roar. It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Hiya. Hello, everybody! - APPLAUSE
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now, we haven't given away the jackpot for a little while.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- No, I've noticed that.- Have we?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21We've had a run of failures.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And we've got two pairs back from the last show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We've got Lyndsay and Alison, who got all the way through to the
0:01:25 > 0:01:27head-to-head. Played very, very well.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29They're going to be strong today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And Joe and Josh, who got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33We welcome new podiums one and podium four.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I always think it's a bit unfair
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- when new pairs have to go on podium one.- Yes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I always think we should force returners to go on podium one.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Oh, do you think?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43You can't, though. I tried to get it through
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- and the Court of Human Rights ruled against me. - LAUGHTER
0:01:45 > 0:01:47All I'm saying is, Laura and Chris,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50if it was up to me, you would not be on the first podium.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- That's all I'm saying. But my hands are tied.- There we are.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, Colin and Chris didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00so we add another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04look at this, at £6,000. There we are. You see...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06APPLAUSE
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14APPLAUSE
0:02:14 > 0:02:16OK, so all you have to remember is this. The pair with the
0:02:16 > 0:02:19highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You just have to make sure you are not that pair.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Best of luck with that. Our first category for Round One today is...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Africa. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34who's going to go second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52..as they could. African countries that come alphabetically
0:02:52 > 0:02:54before Kenya, Richard.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yeah, I have nothing to add to that other than by country,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02In its own right. Look at that. What about that?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.- There we are.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So before K-E in the alphabet. Laura, a warm welcome.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Here, from South Shields. What do you do, Laura?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I'm a physiotherapist. - How long have you done that for?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I qualified in 2011.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Do you have a consulting place where you practise, or do you
0:03:19 > 0:03:21roam around freely with your table?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm in critical care, so for the NHS.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I see, on the NHS, right you are.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And what are your interests, Laura?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, I've got two small children and I work full-time, so
0:03:31 > 0:03:35my interests are pretty limited to children-related activities.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yes, I should think so. How old are your children?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- I've got an eight-year-old and a 17-month-old.- Lovely.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Congratulations. 17 months, sleeping...- Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46..all that sort of thing? All perfect? Wonderful.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Now, Laura.- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50African countries.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Now, normally, African countries,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- that's where most of our pointless answers come from.- Yep.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, when we were deciding who was going to come first, I was like,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59"I only know a minimal amount."
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And thankfully, my answer fits in this category.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- So I'm going to say Ghana. - Ghana, says Laura. Ghana.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ghana.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12It's right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:1840 for Ghana. Not bad.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Gets us off to a good start. 40.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah, in Western Africa, Ghana.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- It was named after the American actor James Garner.- Yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29LAUGHTER
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Joe.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Welcome to Pointless again. Remind us what you do.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I study business at university.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40What are your interests when you're not studying, Joe?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I'm interested in football, mainly,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44and other sports. I do play football now and again.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- OK, do you travel at all, Joe? - Not really.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I rarely get out of Birmingham, to be honest.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- It is nice to have you here in Elstree.- Why would you need to?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Why would you need to? - The Venice of the West Midlands.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02We'll go with that, won't we? The Venice of the West Midlands.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Joe, now, what would you like to go for?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm going to go for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The Democratic Republic. There was a little "ooh" from the audience
0:05:12 > 0:05:15there and a quizzical expression from Josh as well.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Let's see, Democratic Republic of Congo,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20is it right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:2740 is our only score at this point, and you pass that with DRC.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Look at that, down we go,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31to 11. Well done, Joe, good answer.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34APPLAUSE
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Great answer, Joe, yeah, very well played. Used to be Zaire, of course.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Which people still give as an incorrect answer to this day.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Alison.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Welcome back to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Remind us what you do, Alison.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I work at a sports centre that's attached to a secondary school
0:05:51 > 0:05:54doing admin, and I teach some fitness classes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55So that's quite clever.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It basically runs as the school's facilities during termtime?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- And during the day. - And school hours.- Yeah.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So everyone does quite well out of that?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Must have amazing facilities for the school.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It is very good facilities for the school, yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And your interests outside of school and gym hours?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Yeah, I still do a lot of that kind of stuff.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I like exercise and I'm quite into learning about nutrition
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and things like that.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Is that something you teach at the facility as well? No.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24We help people lose weight and things like that so...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Excellent. OK, Alison, what would you like to go for?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Purely because I lived there for a couple of years,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- I'm going to say Gabon.- Gabon.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37OK, well, let's see how many of our 100 people said Gabon.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's right. Well, 40's our high score,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45and you pass it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:4711 is our low score, and you pass it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Gabon on 8, very well done indeed.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Yeah, managed to have only two presidents in 50 years, Gabon.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Omar Bongo was president for 40 years.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Good stuff, thank you very much indeed. Now then, Daryl.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06A warm welcome to Pointless. From Edinburgh.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- What do you do up in Edinburgh, Daryl?- I manage a post office.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Most post offices now, they're quite big affairs, aren't they?- Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14There aren't many small post offices left.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Well, ours is split into two
0:07:16 > 0:07:18because we're in a retail shop, so
0:07:18 > 0:07:21we open your normal sort of 9.00 till 5.30,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23and then the retail are open till ten at night,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25so it's small but split.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Small but split, I see. And what are your hobbies, Daryl?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I like playing a lot of golf, football.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- I like to play badminton, sports related.- Very good, OK.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Daryl, what would you like to go for?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41African countries that come before Kenya.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I've told myself this whole time I was going to play safe,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47but I'm going to take a risk. I think it's a country.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And I'm going to say the Central African Republic.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You THINK it's a country!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The Central African Republic, says Daryl. Let's see if it's right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, our low score at this point is 8.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Central African Republic is 10.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09APPLAUSE
0:08:09 > 0:08:1010 for the Central African Republic,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12it's just going up all the time.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's been in double figures a couple of times recently,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16the Central African Republic. Amazing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I mean, imagine, look back to sort of 2010 or something,
0:08:19 > 0:08:20and imagine that!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23People would rub their eyes in disbelief, wouldn't they?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Extraordinary.- So there has been evidence of human settlement in that
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- area for over 8,000 years. - Thank you very much.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Well, we're halfway through Round One,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31so let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:31 > 0:08:338, the best score of that pass. Well done.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Alison and Lyndsay once again
0:08:35 > 0:08:38reigning supreme at this point. Then up to 10, where we find Daryl
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and Hamza. Up to 11, Joe and Josh, lovely and close.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Oh, and then there's Laura
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and Chris, I'm afraid at 40, quite a long way ahead there.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Now, Chris, a nice low score from you
0:08:46 > 0:08:49could keep you in the game, so good luck with finding
0:08:49 > 0:08:52a nice low score in those African countries.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54We're going to come back down the line now.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK, now, Hamza, remember we're looking for any African
0:09:01 > 0:09:04country that comes before Kenya alphabetically.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Welcome to Pointless, Hamza. What do you do?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I work in the finance and operations department of a supermarket.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But I recently got my master's degree in journalism,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15so I'm trying to find a job in the media somewhere.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17So you're keeping up the supermarket job for now
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- until you find... - Until I can find my dream job.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23What would it be ideally? What bit of journalism?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'd love to be able to write about football,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29but my actual dream job is making up questions for Pointless.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'd like to be the one who makes them up.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That would be the ultimate dream, wouldn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yeah, it would be a dream.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Was it any particular kind of journalism you
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- did your degree in? - Just general journalism.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I tried to focus it more towards sports so...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I see, so how do you break into sports journalism?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Try and do match reports, sort out work experience,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52unpaid obviously, and then hopefully your name gets kept around
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and try and get your foot in the door somewhere.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57He seems too well adjusted to be one of the Pointless
0:09:57 > 0:09:58question setters to me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- You know what they're like.- I do.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Hamza, what would you like to go for?- You're on 10.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05The high-scorers are Chris and Laura on 40,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07so 29 or less would get you through.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'm doubting myself a little bit because I know it used to be
0:10:10 > 0:10:14a territory of Portugal, but I'm going to go for Cape Verde Islands.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Cape Verde. Cape Verde.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20OK, here is your red line. If you can get below that with Cape Verde,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22you are through to the next round.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cape Verde.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It's right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Now, I think this is going to go
0:10:31 > 0:10:33a long way down. Look.
0:10:33 > 0:10:362. Very, very well done indeed,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Hamza. That's a great answer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Takes your total up to 12,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41sees you very comfortably through to Round Two.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Well played, Hamza. It's a lovely answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Bronagh, who is in charge of all our questions, will be
0:10:45 > 0:10:47noting your name down, I'm sure of it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It recently changed its name, actually, to Cabo Verde,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52but it's still called Cape Verde Islands as well.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- There we are. Thank you very much. Now, Lyndsay.- Hello.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Lyndsay, welcome back. Lovely to have you with us again.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Remind us what you do.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01I'm self-employed
0:11:01 > 0:11:03and I make fancy walking sticks.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I'm a bit of an actor.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I'm also a trapeze performer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- I'm a circus performer.- Amazing!
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- And you performed at the Paralympics at the Closing Ceremony?- I did.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- The Opening and Closing. - What were you doing?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Aeriel work, I was on a trapeze flying around in the air
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and I was on a harness.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And I did a rather silly stunt with a motorbike
0:11:25 > 0:11:28and a trapeze in the Closing Ceremony
0:11:28 > 0:11:30where the high wire
0:11:30 > 0:11:32went right across the stadium.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34And I was underneath a motorbike,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- and Coldplay were underneath me, so all was good but...- Wow.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39They were holding on, too?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- They were looking to catch me... - Now, that's a gig.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- ..when I fell down.- Wow.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44It was quite surreal, to be honest.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Because when you were so high, and it was dark, you couldn't actually
0:11:48 > 0:11:53see people's faces, and it was a bit like flying over someone's garden.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And you could look down and see the grass beneath you and it was great.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- It was great fun.- Just an extraordinary experience.- Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Absolutely incredible. Lyndsay, brilliant.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03There you are on 8.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Excellent low score from Alison in the first pass.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08If you can score 31 or less, you are through to Round Two.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13I'm struggling a little bit here. I hope I'm not going to fluff it up.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15There's a couple of obvious ones left that I think I'm going
0:12:15 > 0:12:20to have to go for. And out of those, I will go for Algeria.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Algeria, says Lyndsay. OK, here's your red line.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Get below that with Algeria, you are through to Round Two.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Let's see how many people said Algeria.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's right.
0:12:35 > 0:12:3841. 41 takes your total up to 49.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I think that's good enough.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Gives a bit of hope to podium one there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Yes, the largest country in Africa, Algeria.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Now then, Josh. Remind us what you do.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm a marketing apprentice for a builders merchant.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58So you've just left university, is that right?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00No, I never actually went to university.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05I did apply, and then I had a bright idea to scrap it all
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and took a gap year to Australia instead.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Very sensible, and gone into an apprenticeship.- Yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- And enjoying it?- Yes, very much so.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Very good indeed. What are your hobbies, Josh?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I like to do a lot of racket sports.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Drinking with mates.- Good. - I can't lie.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Now, you're on 11.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The high-scorers are Lyndsay and Alison on 49,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30so if you can score 37, you're through to the next round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think this is one.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Um...
0:13:34 > 0:13:38It's by its French name, which I can't pronounce.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But it's the Ivory Coast, or Coasty Ivyar,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44or however you pronounce it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The Ivory Coast, or Cote d'Ivoire to give it its French name.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49There we are. Your line is there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You go below that line, you are into Round Two.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cote d'Ivoire.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Very well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Good answer, look at that! 12.
0:14:04 > 0:14:0723, the total on podium two, there.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Not bad, at all.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Yeah, also on the coast of Western Africa, Cote d'Ivoire.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's another good answer. More and more people do apprenticeships.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Seems to be a very positive thing.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- People seem to have very positive things to say about them...- Yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- ..whenever they come on the show. - They do, they do.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Chris. Welcome to Pointless.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28From North Yorkshire? Were you originally from Tyneside?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Well, no, I'm from Tyneside. - You're from Tyneside.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32But where are you in North Yorkshire?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33What took you down there?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'm in Leyburn, and I went there
0:14:35 > 0:14:39cos I took early retirement, and I moved there with my husband
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- to live in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.- Heaven. Lovely.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- And it's proved as lovely as you thought it would be?- Oh, it's great.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oh, how nice! What do you like to get up to in the Dales?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, not much because I've retired.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53But I keep busy by doing Pilates and yoga.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I like to bake. I like to paint.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02And I'm going to try to volunteer somewhere, soon, hopefully.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Wonderful. Now, Chris, we have a challenge on here.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You have to score 8 or less.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08What would you like to go for, Chris?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I'd like to go for Eritrea.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Eritrea. Eritrea.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Ooh, that gets a little murmur from the audience.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Eritrea, let's see how many of our 100 people said Eritrea.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22There is your red line, get below that,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24you remain with us at the end of the round. Good luck.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28It's right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh, no! 14 for Eritrea.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38APPLAUSE
0:15:38 > 0:15:4154 is your total, Chris.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's a surprisingly big score for Eritrea, I have to say,
0:15:44 > 0:15:45on the Horn of Africa.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Its name comes originally from the Latin for the Red Sea, which is
0:15:48 > 0:15:49where it's located.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Now, there's only one pointless answer on the board,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55and that is the Comoros, so very well done if you said that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Three volcanic islands just off the coast of Africa, Comoros.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Now, you'd have got 2 points for Equatorial Guinea, for Djibouti,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06for Guinea-Bissau, and we already heard Cape Verde - terrific answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:083 points for Benin and Burundi.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12You'd have got 9 points for Burkina Faso.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You'd have got 12 for Guinea.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18You'd have got 20 for Gambia, 21 for Cameroon, 24 for Congo,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22which is different to DRC, you'd have got 25 for Angola,
0:16:22 > 0:16:2528 for Botswana, 30 for Chad.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30There's Algeria, 41. Ethiopia, 47.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And at the top, Egypt on 53.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38At the end of our first round, the pair we're saying goodbye to,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40with a high score of 54, which isn't a high score at all,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43void is just comparatively high. It's Chris and Laura.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'm so sorry. I think it's that being on the first podium there.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's always tough. You just get less time to think.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- We'll say that, yeah. - We'll see you again next time,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53when I'm absolutely certain you'll do much, much better.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55But meantime, thanks so much. Chris and Laura.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Lovely to have you on the show. APPLAUSE
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06APPLAUSE
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Very well done, everyone. We've made it through to Round Two.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Very exciting. Seen off one pair already.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Sadly, we'll have to say goodbye to another couple
0:17:14 > 0:17:16at the end of this round. But, Hamza and Daryl,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19hats off to you, our lowest team score there.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Fantastic. Best of luck to all three pairs, though.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Academy Awards. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:17:28 > 0:17:30who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Richard.- On each board, we're going to show you the surnames of six
0:17:48 > 0:17:50people who were nominated in one of the four acting
0:17:50 > 0:17:53categories at the ceremony held in 2015.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55You just need to give us their first name, please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Very best of luck. - OK, thanks very much.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So let's reveal our first board of surnames, and here they come.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02We've got...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17We are looking for the first names of each of these actors.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Josh, we come to you first.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I know... I think I know three.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's which one I think's going to be the lowest.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I think I'm going to go with...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- ..Emma Stone.- Emma Stone, says Josh. Let's see if it's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Let's see how many people said it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45It's right.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53That is a great answer, Josh,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55very well done indeed.
0:18:55 > 0:18:574 for Emma Stone.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Great answer, Josh, and you've saved anyone else
0:19:00 > 0:19:02the embarrassment of going for Sharon.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03- So that's very good, yes. - LAUGHTER
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Birdman.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Alison.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- What would you like to go for? - Yeah, this isn't great for me.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I only know two really obvious ones.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'm just go to have to go for one of those
0:19:19 > 0:19:21and say Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Benedict Cumberbatch, says Alison.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Let's see how many of our 100 said Benedict.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3362 for Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Big score, there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Nominated for Best Actor for his role in The Imitation Game.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I would've thought that he would have scored more.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I would have thought so. You wouldn't confuse it
0:19:42 > 0:19:44with any other Cumberbatches.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well, that's it. You're not thinking,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- "Is it Sharon Cumberbatch?" - No.- No.- No.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Thank you very much indeed. Now, Daryl.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51This board is actually all yours.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54If you wanted to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56you'd be extremely welcome.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Well, Emma Stone was my answer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I knew Benedict.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Meryl Streep.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I think... I mean, I don't want to fall into the Sharon Stone
0:20:07 > 0:20:12sort of category, but I think I'll go for Robert Duvall.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Robert Duvall, says Daryl.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Robert Duvall. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It's right, well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:2735, not bad at all there, Daryl, well done.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Well played, Daryl.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Received his seventh acting nomination for his part
0:20:33 > 0:20:36in The Judge in 2015. Robert Duvall.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You're obviously right about Meryl Streep,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43but you did well to avoid it as well because it's a big scorer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46She outscores Cumberbatch. 81 points there for Meryl Streep.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Cotillard.- Marion?- Marion Cotillard.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Absolutely. 15 points for that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- And Arquette.- Patricia.
0:20:53 > 0:20:5522 points for Patricia Arquette.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- She won the Best Actress for Boyhood.- Thank you very much.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- It's a great film, Boyhood. - It is a good film.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Let's take a look at those scores. Four, well done, Josh and Joe.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Excellent scoring there.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Very much at the top of the tree at this point.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Then 35 is where we find Daryl and Hamza.
0:21:10 > 0:21:1462, Alison and Lyndsay. So, yes, Lyndsay,
0:21:14 > 0:21:15we need a low score from you on the next board.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26OK, we're going to put six more surnames up on the board,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29and here they are.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30We've got...
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I'll read those again.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Always nice saying "and more" at the end.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46But, yes, no more, that's the end. So, Hamza.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Remember, we are looking for the first names of these actors.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52They were all Academy Award nominees in 2015.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I've a feeling I know more than I think I know.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58But I'm going to have to play it relatively safe
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- and say Bradley Cooper. - Bradley Cooper, says Hamza.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03OK, here's your red line.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05If you can get below that red line with Bradley Cooper,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Not bad. 37.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Takes your total up to 72.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Nominated for Best Actor for American Sniper, Bradley Cooper.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Lyndsay.- Hello.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Lyndsay, you're on 62.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31If you can score 9 or less,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35that's the kind of territory we're in at the moment.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38OK. It's difficult.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I was happier on the other board.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'll tell you what I'm going to go for.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48The bottom, Julianne Moore, she was in a movie called Still Alice.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK, Julianne Moore. Let's hope that is right. There is your red line.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Get below that with Julianne Moore, you're through to the next round.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:0618.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Takes your total up to 80.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Yes, she won the big one, the Best Actress for Still Alice,
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- Julianne Moore.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Joe.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You're on 4.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24If you can score 75 or less, you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Do you want to talk us through that board?- I think I know three.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I know... I think it's Keira Knightley.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Might be Tommy Jones.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36But I'm going to go for Ethan Hawke.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Ethan Hawke, says Joe. Ethan Hawke.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42If you get below that with Ethan Hawke,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44you are into the head-to-head.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's see how many people said Ethan Hawke.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's right.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49And you're through.
0:23:50 > 0:23:5247 for Ethan Hawke.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Takes your total up to 51.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And he was also nominated for Boyhood.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Let's take a look through the rest of these. Pike.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Rosamund.- Rosamund Pike for her role in Gone Girl. 26. Now, Jones.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Not Tommy Lee Jones.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13It's Felicity Jones for her role in The Theory Of Everything.
0:24:13 > 0:24:146 points for that.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16And Keira Knightley, you're absolutely right about.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- A big scorer, though - 78. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21So at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading
0:24:21 > 0:24:25home with a high score of 80... I'm sorry, Lyndsay and Alison, it's you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- You were our low scorers last show. - I know.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm sorry. I thought you were going to go through to the final
0:24:30 > 0:24:32this time, but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Thank you very much, thank you.- Lyndsay and Alison.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38APPLAUSE
0:24:38 > 0:24:40But for Hamza and Daryl, Joe and Josh,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44APPLAUSE
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, congratulations, Joe and Josh, Hamza and Daryl.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You are now one step closer to the final
0:24:53 > 0:24:54and a chance to play for this jackpot,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58which is currently standing at £6,000.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02OHS AND APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Now, something has to be done about that jackpot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And this is where you have a chance to do that thing.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08You can start playing as pairs now.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You can chat before you give your answers.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12First player to win two questions will be
0:25:12 > 0:25:14playing for that £6,000 jackpot.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Well... And it's our first all male head-to-head
0:25:16 > 0:25:17for quite a long time now.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Joe and Josh, obviously not newcomers to the show,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22and here you are as our low scorers.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Hamza and Daryl, if you don't make it through to the final this time,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27you'll get another crack at it next time.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35APPLAUSE
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Pedal Power, Richard.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of pedal-powered
0:25:45 > 0:25:47modes of transport. You just need to tell us what they are, please.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Very best of luck. - OK, thank you very much.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Let's reveal our five pedal-powered
0:25:51 > 0:25:54modes of transport, and here they come. We've got...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18There we go. Five modes of pedal power.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Joe and Josh, you're our low scorers, so you'll go first.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24THEY WHISPER
0:26:29 > 0:26:31THEY CONTINUE WHISPERING
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We're going to go for A as a tandem bicycle.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39OK. A tandem, say Joe and Josh for A.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Now, Hamza and Daryl, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:26:43 > 0:26:48If I had to guess, B would be a lean bike, or something.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51C will probably be a mountain bike, D is a penny-farthing and
0:26:51 > 0:26:53E is a BMX.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55So, a wee bit stuck between two.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56What do you think?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00THEY WHISPER
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- I think D.- You go for it, man.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- D, penny-farthing.- You are going to go D, penny-farthing?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So we have tandem and we have penny-farthing.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Joe and Josh went for tandem. Let's see if that's right.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Let's see how many people said it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- It's right. Oh, hee-hee, look at that. 89.- Oh, God!
0:27:16 > 0:27:2089 for tandem.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24OK, now, Hamza and Daryl have said that D is a penny-farthing.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Let's see if that's right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said penny-farthing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yes, it's a... Oh, look at that! 90!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Very well done indeed, Joe and Josh. Fabulous.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Lovely low score there, 89. After one question,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43you are up 1-0.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Funnily enough, the other two you knew would have won you the points.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Cos C is a mountain bike, but
0:27:47 > 0:27:49would have scored you very, very low
0:27:49 > 0:27:51in the context of this round, 84.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55And E, the BMX, an even lower 76.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00There's one very good answer on the board, and it is B.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Do you know what those are called? - No, I've heard.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I know, it's sort of unbearable, isn't it? They're called recumbents.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Recumbent.- Recumbent. And that would have scored you 7 points.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- Take a look at the tandem. - These two people are so happy.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19- How happy is he? Considering that they're in the countryside...- Yes.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23What is it that he has seen to make him look that...? I mean,
0:28:23 > 0:28:24literally he's, like, ecstatic.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm not being funny. If you're a photographer
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and someone is looking that happy about something,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34take a picture of the thing he's looking at.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- That would be my note.- OK.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Also, while we're on it,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41how determined is the penny-farthing driver there? Look at that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Yes, he's very determined. But also...- He's got no time to laugh.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47What were they thinking with the penny-farthing?
0:28:47 > 0:28:48I just don't know.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- I mean...- Are you lowered onto a penny-farthing?- Me? Yeah.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56You'd be fine, you could just... RICHARD LAUGHS
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- For us, a penny-farthing would be a tandem.- Yes.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01LAUGHTER
0:29:01 > 0:29:03You can just sit over the back wheel, there.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Just put a handlebar for me on the back one. There we go.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your second question.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Hamza and Daryl, oh, that was needle, wasn't it?
0:29:11 > 0:29:12That first one there.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Hardly a cigarette paper between you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Hamza and Daryl, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20But you get to answer it first, which I think is a good thing.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21It concerns...
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Members Of Groups, Richard.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28I'm going to show you five sets of first names now,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30of people all of whom are in the same group or band.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32You just need to name that group or band, please.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36OK, let's reveal our group first names, and here they are.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38We've got...
0:29:54 > 0:29:56I'm going to read all of those again.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Hamza and Daryl, you go first.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17THEY WHISPER
0:30:20 > 0:30:26THEY CONTINUE WHISPERING
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I'm going to go for the second bottom one, which is the Sugarbabes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Sugarbabes, say Hamza and Daryl. Sugarbabes.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Now then, Joe and Josh, what would you like to go for?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I think we're going to go for the second one as Kings Of Leon.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Kings Of Leon, say Joe and Josh.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45So we have Sugarbabes. We have Kings Of Leon.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Now, Hamza and Daryl went Sugarbabes for Mutya, etc.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Let's see if that's right.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57It's right.
0:31:02 > 0:31:0414 for the Sugarbabes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Meanwhile, Joe and Josh have gone for the Kings Of Leon,
0:31:10 > 0:31:11for the second one down.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Kings Of Leon.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18That's right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Now, is it going to beat the Sugarbabes?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Yes, it is. Look at that!
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Very well done. 4.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27The Kings Of Leon. Superb.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30All of which means, Joe and Josh, after only two questions,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Yeah, Kings of Leon's a very good answer.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36They're three brothers - Caleb, Jared, and Nathan -
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and Matthew is their cousin, the Followills.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43And Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan, all of whom were replaced at some point.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45They used to have fights terribly, didn't they, the Sugarbabes?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48There were always different versions of the Sugarbabes.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49They're like Trigger's Broom now.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52They're still the Sugarbabes, but none of the original parts remain.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- I think things got tasty every now and again.- I think they did.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Talking of things getting tasty, ABBA, up the top there.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- There we are.- They certainly fought every now and again.
0:32:00 > 0:32:0395 points for ABBA. How about that?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Even more than a penny-farthing. - THEY LAUGH
0:32:06 > 0:32:09If you ever wanted to know the question of what's more famous,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11ABBA or a penny-farthing, you've just found out.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Now, Lindsay, Edele, Keavy and Sinead,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16the first four singles all went to number one.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18And they are B*Witched.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21It would have scored you 10 points.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- And Rochelle, Una, Frankie, Mollie and Vanessa...- The Saturdays.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27..are the Saturdays, and that would've scored you 24.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29So Kings Of Leon, best answer on the board.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Nothing you could have done about that.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Thank you very much. So the pair leaving us
0:32:33 > 0:32:35at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Hamza and Daryl. But it's good news, really,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39because this is just your first shot at Pointless.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Next time, you can come back, clean sweep all the way through to the
0:32:42 > 0:32:44final, I'm sure. We'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47But meantime, thanks very much, Hamza and Daryl.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49APPLAUSE
0:32:49 > 0:32:53But for Joe and Josh, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56APPLAUSE
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Congratulations, Joe and Josh, you have fought off all
0:32:59 > 0:33:03the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Let's just remind ourselves.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16The jackpot at the end of today's show is standing at £6,000.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18There we are.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21APPLAUSE
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Now, I mean, obviously, any jackpot we can give away is a nice
0:33:24 > 0:33:25thing to be able to take home,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27but that really would be fantastic to take home.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Josh, just before we started recording this round,
0:33:29 > 0:33:33I heard you calling Joe Waffle. Is that right?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Is that your nickname, Waffle? - Yeah, it is.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37How did you come by that?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41When I was younger, in reception... Well, my last name is Wassell.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44So it was the closest thing. That's what I tell people, anyway.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47You could have called yourself Waffle. On the show.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49The badges stretch to that.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Yeah, well, there you are. We'll call you Waffle from now on.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I'm really sorry we weren't calling you Waffle all this time.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56He's going to fall out with me because he asked me not to do it.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Oh, the last thing you want to do is fall out with Waffle. - LAUGHTER
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I know, I know. - Let's keep Waffle happy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05So, today, I think we've put you through your paces.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Obviously, we're not just going to give that kind of jackpot away.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11We had to make sure you knew your African countries
0:34:11 > 0:34:15between A and K. We had to make sure you knew your Oscar nominees,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18your pedal-power modes of transport
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and then your members of groups, all of which you did.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22So, very, very well done.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28As long as it's not French pronunciation, I might be all right.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33OK. Yes, Cote d'Ivoire springs to mind. OK.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Joe, anything you'd really love to see up there?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Probably American sports teams would be quite good.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Well, they do come up from time to time.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43My favourite American sports team - the San Diego Waffle Lions.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45LAUGHTER
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Love those guys.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Well, let's hope one of these four categories up here suits you.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Sometimes they're quite baffling.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55But anyway, here we go. We have got...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I'm only thinking of one here, and that's tennis.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- If you're confident on anything else...- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Winter. I mean, it's a season. - How strong are you on tennis?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- I'm quite good.- Are you sure?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I'm best at tennis, out of those four, yeah.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- HESITANTLY:- Eh, OK.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Grand Slam Tennis, please. - Grand Slam Tennis, it is. Richard.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33The Waffle has spoken. Grand Slam Tennis, it is.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36We're looking for any of the following three, please, gents.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39We're looking for any female winner of the US Open in the Open era,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42that's from 1968 through to the 2014 tournament.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45We're looking for any male winners of the French Open in the Open era,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47'68 through to the 2015 tournament.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Or any winners of the Wimbledon mixed doubles
0:35:50 > 0:35:54title in the Open era, '68 to 2015. Both names needed.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Female winners of the US Open, male winners of the French Open and
0:35:58 > 0:36:00both names of winners of the Wimbledon mixed doubles.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Very, very best of luck.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:04 > 0:36:06to come up with three answers,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08and all you need to win that jackpot is for just
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Female winners, we could go for Kim Clijsters.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Male winners, the French Open, I'm thinking Marat Safin.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25And the bottom one, I'm thinking Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29You know you certainly...
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Can you think of better? - Nothing that good, no.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34LAUGHTER
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Tim Henman, I know he didn't win Wimbledon,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38but did he win the French? Did he win anything?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42I don't think he won a major.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Mixed doubles, I couldn't even guess.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47No, that's the only one I know for definite for mixed doubles.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Female winners of the US Open. Sue Barker won the French Open.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- But did she win the USA Open? - I don't think so.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- I know for a fact she only won one. - She only won one.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Do you just want to go for those for our...?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Yeah, cos they're better than what I'm going to come out with.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- OK, ten seconds left. - Yeah, that's fine.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08You're happy to go for it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10OK, we'll stop the clock.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12There we are, the clock is stopped. What are your three answers?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14And if you say which category you're answering.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18For female winners of the US Open, we're going to go for Kim Clijsters.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21For male winners of the French Open we're going to go for Marat Safin.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Marat Safin.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25And winners of the Wimbledon mixed doubles title
0:37:25 > 0:37:27in the Open era, we're going to go for
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Probably Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic. OK. We'll put those last.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Least likely to be pointless.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45The least confident one I'm on, the one I think of is Marat Safin.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Marat Safin, we'll put first.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49OK, well, lets put those answers up on the board in that order then,
0:37:49 > 0:37:51and here they are.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53We've got...
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Three very good answers up on the board.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Now, if one of those happens to be pointless,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04what would you do with that jackpot?
0:38:04 > 0:38:066,000 quid to split between you.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Joe, you first.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Between our group of mates,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11there's always talk about going on holiday, so I'd probably
0:38:11 > 0:38:14keep it for that, just so it's covered if it ever happens.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Very good. Josh.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Something similar.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23I'd love to do an interim holiday and travel across Europe.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Oh, this is before you do the big mates' holiday?- I hope so.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- An Interim. Yeah. - I'll put a bit aside.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, well, best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34In the first instance, we were looking for winners,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37male winners of the French Open. You have gone for Marat Safin.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:38:39 > 0:38:41said Marat Safin.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43If it's right and pointless, it will win you £6,000.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Bad luck, OK. First answer, incorrect,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54which means you've only got two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Your next answer was Kim Clijsters.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00In this case, we were looking for female winners of the US Open.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03If this is pointless, it will win you £6,000.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05How many of our 100 people said Kim Clijsters?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It's right.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Marat Safin was an incorrect answer, your first answer.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Kim Clijsters now takes us down through the teens.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Do we get to single figures? Yes, we do.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Down it goes, still going down,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- still going down, still going down.- Oh, no!
0:39:22 > 0:39:241 for Kim Clijsters. AUDIENCE OOHS
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Oh, my God!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28APPLAUSE
0:39:31 > 0:39:35That's a fantastic answer. Fantastic.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Sadly, though, in this last round,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39we're only interested in pointless answers.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Happily, though, you've got one more answer on the board.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Everything is now riding on it. Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46If this is right and if this is pointless,
0:39:46 > 0:39:50you will leave here with £6,000. Very, very best of luck.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53We were looking for winners of Wimbledon mixed doubles titles.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Jamie Murray, Jelena Jankovic. Is it pointless?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's right.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Your first answer, Marat Safin, was incorrect.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Your second answer, Kim Clijsters,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Jamie Murray, Jelena Jankovic now
0:40:09 > 0:40:11taking us down through single figures.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Passing... Oh, no!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16APPLAUSE
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Oh, I'm so sorry. Two very, very good answers there.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27And Kim Clijsters, so unlucky there.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29To get all the way down to 1 is cruel, I'm afraid.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31But I'm afraid you just didn't manage to find that
0:40:31 > 0:40:33pointless answer that we needed.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £6,000.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38That will roll over onto the next show. But it's been brilliant
0:40:38 > 0:40:40having you on, guys. Thank you for playing.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Brilliant contestants, Joe and Josh.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44You get a Pointless trophy to take home as well,
0:40:44 > 0:40:45so very, very well done.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48APPLAUSE
0:40:48 > 0:40:50That is unlucky with Kim Clijsters.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52I knew you'd go for a Belgian, Waffle.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55LAUGHTER
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Yeah, 1 point. You now have a stock answer
0:40:57 > 0:40:59for all tennis questions which is...
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- It's Margaret Court.- Who also would have scored 1 point.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Oh, no, she always does. - Yes, she always, she always does.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Let's take a... I warn you now, there's going to be
0:41:08 > 0:41:10names you know in all of these categories.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12You know, you did the best you could.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Safin, never been in a French final, let alone won one.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Let's take a look at the female winners of the US Open.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You could have had Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Gabriela Sabatini, Hana Mandlikova Sam Stosur.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Also could have had Svetlana Kuznetsova.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28A couple more 1-point answers. Another Belgian,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Justine Henin. And Martina Hingis would have scored you 1.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34You would have got 2 for Tracy Austin,
0:41:34 > 0:41:363 for Monica Seles and Lindsay Davenport.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Now, male winners of the French Open.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Again, lots of pointless answers here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Carlos Moya. Gustavo Kuerten, would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Ken Rosewall won the first one of the Open era.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47The Frenchman Yannick Noah.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50You could have had Albert Costa. You could have had Andres Gomez.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Gaston Guadio, Guillermo Vilas.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54You could have had Juan Carlos Ferrero,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Mats Wilander, who won it three times. Michael Chang, very famously
0:41:57 > 0:42:00won it at a very young age. He would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Thomas Muster and Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03All pointless answers.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Very well done, if you got one of those. Now, the mixed doubles.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Funnily enough, Yankovic and Jamie Murray were the
0:42:08 > 0:42:10highest scorer of anyone in this category.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Very few scorers on this one.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Here's a few. Fred Stolle and Ann Jones.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16She won the singles title in the same year.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Ilie Nastase and Rosemary Casals. John Lloyd and Wendy Turnbull,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Mark Woodforde and Martina Navratilova.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25She also won it with Paul McNamee, who was a pointless answer,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27and Jonathan Stark. That was a pointless answer as well.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30The only ones that scored any points at all were Jamie Murray
0:42:30 > 0:42:31and Jelena Jankovic.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Leander Paes and Martina Hingis,
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Jeremy Bates and Joe Durie.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Leander Paes and Martina Navratilova.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38The only ones that scored anything at all.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Very, very well done at home if you got a pointless answer.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44And very unlucky to Josh and Waffle for just scoring 1.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Joe and Josh,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Thank you for playing.- Thank you very much.- Joe and Josh.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, sadly, Joe and Josh didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:00 > 0:43:04it rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £7,000.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us next time, see if someone can win it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
