0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank 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 where we are always striving to find
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the most obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- And couple number one. - Hi, my name's Tom.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This is my girlfriend, Emilia.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I'm from Liverpool and she's from Cardiff.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Chris.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43This is my daughter, Laura.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm from North Yorkshire and she's from South Shields.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Daryl.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51This is my best friend, Hamza, and we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm David. This is my flatmate, work colleague,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58friend and life influence, Sam.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59We're from London.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Oh, you're from London. And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 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 > 0:01:12for me to introduce. He's here to put his foot down,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and I'm here to ensure it doesn't squash any of today's players.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Good afternoon to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- And to you.- Two returning pairs from that last show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Hamza and Daryl on podium two got all the way through
0:01:27 > 0:01:29to the head-to-head, so they're going to be tough to beat.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And on podium two, Laura and Chris.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Who did less well last time, I think it's fair to say,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37but are very, very keen to do better today.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And today will be a very good day to do well.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Wouldn't it just? We're turning into a bank.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Yes, £7,000 up for grabs,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- which would be very nice to have, wouldn't it?- Wouldn't that be nice?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Wouldn't it?- Oh, how nice.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50So, yes, Joe and Josh didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52We're adding another £1,000 to that.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54So, yes, as you've just gathered, today's jackpot starts off,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57there it is, officially £7,000.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Very exciting indeed.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10So the rule is, the pair with the highest score
0:02:10 > 0:02:14at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16That's all you have to remember. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26who's going to go second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Richard.- Yeah, actually, on each board, we're going to show you
0:02:40 > 0:02:43seven general knowledge questions, but the answer to each of them
0:02:43 > 0:02:45is also the name of a book of the Bible.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47So can you give us the most obscure answers?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, let's reveal our first board of clues.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Here they are, seven of them.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm going to read all of those again.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Tom, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Thank you.- Now, you've come from Liverpool.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Yeah, but I'm studying in Edinburgh at the minute.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I see. And what are you studying?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm doing a PhD in social policy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Right. Did you do your degree at Edinburgh as well?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yeah, I did my undergraduate and my master's degree there as well.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12And it's a four-year course.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Yeah, I know.- You must have been there for years!
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Yeah!- What do you like getting up to when you're not working hard on...?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I like football, I like music, I really like theatre...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27like acting and trying to write stuff.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- So, yeah.- And you find time to do all that?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It might be at the detriment of my academic career, maybe.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, that's OK. It's the enhancement of your life,
0:04:35 > 0:04:36- I should think.- Yeah, exactly.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Now, do you think when you finally leave Edinburgh, decades from now,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42will you...? I mean, you're mostly Scottish these days.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Yeah, I know.- Do you think you might stay up there, or do you think
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- you'd come back down to England? - I think, yeah, potentially.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It's a lovely... I really like Glasgow as well.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yeah, another beautiful place.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54But I'd like to move down to Liverpool
0:04:54 > 0:04:55for a little bit after that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59OK. Now, Tom, how do you find our board of Bible books?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yeah, it's OK.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I'm a bit annoyed because I used to get told I look like the lead singer
0:05:05 > 0:05:07of The Kooks back when I had really long hair,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09but I can't remember his first name.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15So I think I'm going to go for another one that I know,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18which is the name that goes before Andronicus
0:05:18 > 0:05:21to give the title of a Shakespearean tragedy, which is Titus.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Titus Andronicus, says Tom. Titus. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29It's right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:4023. Not a bad start to the show at all.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Nice start, Tom. Yeah, it's a letter in the New Testament.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They did Titus Andronicus at The Globe in 2014.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Over 100 people fainted cos it was so gory.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It is quite gory, yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52They didn't hold back on the gore.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54No. I imagine if you were in one of those productions,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57you're going to keep a tally of how many people have fainted each night,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- and if it's no-one, you're going to feel...- Yeah, you think you've had
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- a terrible... I mean, we're the same with our audience, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Occasionally, you just see them being passed backwards by security.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Thus far, three of them have gone, but the rest, absolutely fine.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11There was a really sweet moment a few shows back
0:06:11 > 0:06:13when you selected a lady from the front row
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and you danced with her very tenderly.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Yeah, that's exactly... - Just during the head-to-head round,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19and they filmed it beautifully.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Lots of soft fades and, you know, it was nice.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I like it when you go down on your knees in the centre circle there
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and you just go like that... And people throw money at you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I've never known how you do it. It's very magnetic, your personality.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Yeah.- It's extraordinary.- It's just nice to give a bit back, isn't it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Go down and just be there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37It's not really giving a bit back, is it,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39taking money off the audience?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- But I know what you mean.- Yeah. - I know what you mean.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Laura, welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Remind us what you do, Laura.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'm a physio and I work in critical care.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53A physio. And what part of physio do you specialise in?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Respiratory physio.- I see.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So any lung conditions I tend to deal with
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and then any rehab with someone who's been in critical care,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- often need a bit of rehab to get back on their feet.- OK.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And is that also muscular, spinal and all that kind of stuff as well?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- It can be anything. It's quite varied.- There we are.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Now, Laura, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I think I'm going to go for the bottom one -
0:07:16 > 0:07:19the surname of the musician who had a hit with Uptown Girl
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and say his surname was Joel.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Joel, says Laura.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said Joel.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's right.
0:07:31 > 0:07:3223 is our only score at this point.
0:07:32 > 0:07:3453 for Joel.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Yeah, a book of the Old Testament, Joel.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And that is Billy Joel's only UK number one.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Now, Daryl, welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Hi.- Here from Edinburgh. What do you do, Daryl? Remind us.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm a post office manager.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Managing a post office.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And it's a post office in a shop?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Yes.- So you're kind of a shop within a shop.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Have Tom and Emilia ever come to your post office?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Erm... He does look familiar.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03I've maybe served him at one point.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06No, you're thinking of the lead singer of The Kooks.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Just imagine Tom with slightly longer...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11That's probably what it is.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Daryl, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Well, it's a bit of a dodgy subject for me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I think I know one of them, but it's too high,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23so I'm going to go for the top one and say Exodus.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Exodus, says Daryl.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Exodus. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, it's right. 53 and 23, our only two scores...
0:08:33 > 0:08:3678 there. That's a relief for Laura.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37But a high score for Daryl.
0:08:37 > 0:08:3978 for Exodus.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Very hard to say Exodus without then immediately singing
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- the Bob Marley song.- Isn't it just? - I've got it in my head.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I know there'll be at least a million people at home
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- who've got that song in their head right now.- Movement of the people.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Now then, Sam, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Nice to have you here, Sam. What do you do?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I work at the Science Museum in London.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'm the... Science communicator would probably be the term.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Now, that's fun.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Yeah, it is.- That's fun. - It's like being a Redcoat.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It's like being a Redcoat, although I wouldn't say that too much
0:09:07 > 0:09:09around the Science Museum. But it is,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- you're basically enthusing people. - Yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And people of all ages or do you aim particularly at children?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Well, I work for a department called Punk Science...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Yeah, now you're talking. - ..the resident comedy team.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So we do adults, teenagers and families mainly.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24A bit of slapstick?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Usually, yeah, there's a bit where one of us will fall over or...
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Always funny.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31We get people to eat bugs, and if they don't eat the bugs,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33one of us has to eat the bugs.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- That's good.- Infra-redcoats would be a good name for them.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37LAUGHTER
0:09:37 > 0:09:40And you could have your name written in infrared
0:09:40 > 0:09:41and if people want to know what your name was,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44they had to shine a light on it that shows up infrared.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- That's a good idea.- Yeah.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Now, Sam, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49This board is all yours.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- You can talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.- OK.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56So the first name of the guy from The Kooks, I believe, is Luke.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I think the main divisions of plays, ballets and operas,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'd guess at acts.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That's Jude, Hey Jude.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05And then it's Mark Spitz.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm not too sure on acts for definite,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12so I think I'm going to go for The Kooks and say Luke.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15OK. Kooks lead singer is Luke, says Sam.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Luke Kook. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Luke.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's right.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Lowest score at the moment is 23.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Oh, you've passed 23.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30You go down to 8, Sam. APPLAUSE
0:10:31 > 0:10:32This is a good score.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Very nice, Sam. Yeah, Luke Pritchard is his name.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Now, you knew all the answers on the board
0:10:39 > 0:10:41and you chose the lowest one of the ones you knew as well,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44so very, very well done. You couldn't have played it any better.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You were right about acts.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49That would have scored you 36.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Hey Jude, big scorer unsurprisingly.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5490 for that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55So, well avoided, everybody.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And it is Mark Spitz.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And that would have scored you 51.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04So, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Sam, lowest score of 8, on the far podium.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Then up to 23, Tom and Emilia.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Up to 53 where we find Laura and Chris.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And 78 is Daryl and Hamza.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Hamza, we need a low score from you,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17so I hope the next board has something on it
0:11:17 > 0:11:18that you like the look of.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they come.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Now, David, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Good to have you here. What do you do, Dave?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well, I work in museums as well. So I do museum education.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I've worked in a number of museums, including the Science Museum.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34But you're not currently at the Science Museum?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I kind of am on one day a week, but I've also worked at
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- the London Transport Museum and the Design Museum as well.- Freelance.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Wow! Moonlighting. - Yeah, I get around.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45But that's nice, all those different disciplines. You must learn so much.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Yeah, I know a lot about some really, I suppose, obscure things.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I don't think anything's going to help me today, though.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Well, you say that.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Transport, these sorts of things come up all the time.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56And there's Sam just stuck in his punk science groove.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You're all over the shop. This is wonderful.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Are you doing much the same sort of thing, communicating? Or is it a...
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yeah. So usually we have a subject which we have to, I suppose,
0:13:04 > 0:13:05bring to young people,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08make sure they understand what's involved with that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09So with the Transport Museum,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I was doing a lot of stuff around transport engineering
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- and trying to get young people into engineering.- Good for you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Well, listen, you're on 8 -
0:13:15 > 0:13:17a wonderful low score from Sam in the first pass -
0:13:17 > 0:13:21which means 69 or less sees you very comfortably into Round Two.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Fantastic. Well, I think I know all but one there.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26But I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm going to go for Matthew.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Matthew.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Matthew Wright. OK. Well, let's see if that's right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Let's see if you can get below that red line.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41It's right. You are into Round Two.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Well done. 30. APPLAUSE
0:13:46 > 0:13:4738 is your total.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well played, David.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yeah, Matthew Wright, and Matthew, obviously one of the Gospels.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Thank you very much. - Pleasure.- Thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Now, Hamza.- Hello. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Welcome back. You've got a little bit of a mountain to climb here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Yeah.- But I think if anyone can, Hamza, I think you can.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Remind us what you do.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I work in the finance and operations department of a supermarket
0:14:07 > 0:14:08and I'm a qualified journalist.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'm trying to find a job in the media somewhere.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Trying to find a job in media. In sports journalism?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Preferably.- Do you have a blog or something like that?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Yeah, I have a press blog that I write articles
0:14:18 > 0:14:20maybe a couple times a week or a month or whatever,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21usually on football.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25And also I've actually got an open day with the team that I support,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Hibernian, to work on their digital team.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Oh, that would be a dream, wouldn't it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You'd actually be part of the Hibs team then?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I wouldn't say this, but, yeah. - Yeah, brilliant.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37OK. Now, there you are, 78, the highest scorers, Hamza.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39We need a low score from you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42OK, my mother is an RE teacher,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45so when this came up, I thought...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47obviously, I thought, "If I get this wrong,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50"I'm going to be thrown out of the house when I get home."
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I know the second bottom one for definite,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54so I'm going to go for that.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55I think it's Ruth.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Ruth, says Hamza. Ruth. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No red line as you're the high-scorers.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Ruth is right.
0:15:08 > 0:15:1060 for Ruth. APPLAUSE
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Takes your total up to 138.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Still in the game, but that's a high score.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yeah, he's actually called George Ruth.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And funnily enough, it was a sports writer who gave him that nickname,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Babe Ruth, as well when he signed for Baltimore as a young man.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Cos he was so young?- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Well, there was a series of young players all signed at the same time.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- They were called Dunn's babes. - There we are.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- You see, the power of a sports writer.- There you are.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- There's still 60 people know the name.- Exactly.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35A good sports nickname.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Now, Chris, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Now, remind us what you do, Chris.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm a retired nurse,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47so I don't really do very much except keep myself entertained.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49And how do you keep yourself entertained?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I like to do Pilates, I like to do yoga...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54And how often do you do that?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Is that every week you do a bit of Pilates and a bit of yoga?- Yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58So that must keep you incredibly fit.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well, a bit more flexible.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03There we are, exactly.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Now, 53 is your score.
0:16:05 > 0:16:0884 or less gets you through.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Erm...I know three definitely,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15but I don't know what one would be the lowest score.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I think I'll go for Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, and say Genesis.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Genesis, says Chris. Here is your red line.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Get below that with Genesis, you're into Round Two.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let's see how many of our 100 got Genesis.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34It's right and you're through, well done.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Oh, just. 76. APPLAUSE
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Cutting it a bit fine, but it's done the job.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42129 is your total, Chris.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, first book of the Bible, of course. And Genesis, the band -
0:16:45 > 0:16:47six UK number one albums.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Now then, Emilia, a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:16:50 > 0:16:51lovely to have you here.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- And what do you do, Emilia?- I'm a politics student at Edinburgh.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- At Edinburgh, which is where you ran into Tom?- Yeah.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58With his sociology?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01No, we met through the student newspaper.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Ah. What were you doing on the student newspaper?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I was the editor of the opinion, comment-type section.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Is it quite racy, the opinions, comment-type section?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Sometimes it's a bit...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It needs to be filtered and vetoed, which was my role.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK. But you've got people all around sending you stuff?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sending you pictures from late-night bars.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- If only. That would make it a bit more interesting.- OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24But it was gossip, basically, was it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28No, it's more kind of opinion pieces on current events.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So political things that happened in the week or university politics,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- things like that.- I see. Opinion and comment,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36not scurrilous gossip from late-night bars at all.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Now, Emilia, you're on 23.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The great news is thanks to...a mixture of thanks to Tom
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and the high scores from Hamza and Daryl,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- it doesn't matter what you score here.- OK.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So talk us through the board, fill in all the blanks
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and then pick the one you want to submit.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I think the phone calls one is numbers. You need to dial numbers.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Short sayings...idioms maybe. I don't know.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00And I have no idea about the top two,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I've never read those books or watched MasterChef.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, yeah, to make phone calls, you need to dial numbers. I hope.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Numbers?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Numbers. That was like a line from a film.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12"To make phone calls, you need to dial numbers,"
0:18:12 > 0:18:13and everyone runs off.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15OK, so numbers says Emilia.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17No red line for you as you're already through.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said numbers.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Look at that, 83.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27I thought that could
0:18:27 > 0:18:29have gone all the way down, but it didn't.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31106 is your score, but you're through anyway.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33You thought that was going to go down further than 83?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I thought it might have done.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37What, to make phone calls, you need to dial these?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Well...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Or did you think it was going to be operators?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42No, exactly, yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yes, you're right. You're right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Oh, thank you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Now, let's take a look at these.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Idioms are short sayings, of course, but this one is...- Proverbs.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Proverbs, yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That would have scored you 27 points.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Best answer on the board is this next one,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58the first name of the author of the Alex Cross series.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I was getting it confused with Alex Rider,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03which is Anthony Horowitz, but this is James Patterson.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Ah.- So, it would have scored you 10 points if you said James.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- And the first name of the Australian chef...- John.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yeah, John Torode. And 35 points for that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14There we are. Thank you very much. Well, at the end of our first round,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16the pair we're having to say goodbye to, it's Hamza and Daryl.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18One of our returning pairs.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19And you did so well last time. I'm sorry.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22You know what, you've made a lot of Hearts fans very happy
0:19:22 > 0:19:24by being knocked out in the first round.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- LAUGHTER - I didn't even think of that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Hamza, Daryl, it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Thank you so much for playing. Hamza and Daryl.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32APPLAUSE
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Well done, everyone. We've made it through to Round Two.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Very exciting. Laura and Chris, lovely to have you in Round Two.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48And well done, Sam,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51our lowest individual scorer there with Luke from The Kooks.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Yeah, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55We'll have to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56but that's a way off yet.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Our category for Round Two is...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05who's going to go second?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Richard.- Yeah, looking for the name of any artist or featured artist
0:20:28 > 0:20:30who appeared on one of these songs, please.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31The 14 most streamed songs of the year,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33according to the Official Charts Company.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Very best of luck. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So, Emilia, to you first.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Erm...I'm a bit rubbish at pop music,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44so I'm going to go for quite...
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Well, what I hope is an obvious guess
0:20:45 > 0:20:49and that it won't just be 100, and say Rita Ora.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Rita Ora, says Emilia. Rita Ora.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. Is it right?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Ohh!
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Oh, I thought that was a brilliant answer, Emilia.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Clearly not on that list, I'm afraid.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Scores you 100 points. Sorry.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yeah, sorry, Emilia. All sorts of big names here, but not Rita Ora.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11That was an unfortunate guess.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Thanks very much. Now then, Laura.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This is one of these rounds where I know loads of answers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20And when people start saying them, I'm going to be like,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- "Oh, I should have said that!"- Hm.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23But at the minute, I can't think of any.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm going to say...
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Miley Cyrus.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Miley Cyrus.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Miley Cyrus. OK. Well, let's see if that's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40No!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Bad luck. Miley Cyrus, also an incorrect answer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Oh, that's a relief for Emilia there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- A bit of company up there on 100. - You're welcome!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Thus far, it's terrific stuff. Isn't it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- It really is terrific stuff. - Isn't it going well.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Someone's going to get one in a minute, I can feel it in my bones.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Sam.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Sam.- Yeah. Erm...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Not a great category, but I'm going to tempt fate now
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and say I'm going to go safe, so it will probably be wrong.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm going to say Beyonce.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Beyonce, says Sam. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Beyonce.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23It's right. We've got a correct answer there. Well done, Sam.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Beyonce taking you way down
0:22:24 > 0:22:26the tower, down to 18. Well done.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28APPLAUSE
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yeah, Drunk In Love, a Beyonce song,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- is the 33rd most streamed song of the year.- There we are.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43so let's take a look at those scores. 18, Sam. Well done.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Sam and David looking pretty good for the head-to-head at this point.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49But I'm afraid 100 is where we find Chris, Emilia and Tom...
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So, Chris and Tom, you two have to come up with the lowest possible
0:22:53 > 0:22:56scoring streamed song from 2014 as you can. Good luck with that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05OK. Now, David, remember, we're looking for any artist
0:23:05 > 0:23:10who featured on one of the top 40 streamed songs of 2014.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14You're on 18. If you can score 81 or less, you're home and dry.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17OK. Well, I have the sort of popular culture reference
0:23:17 > 0:23:20of a High Court judge, so I'm really not too confident about this.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22But I'm going to go for one, which I think
0:23:22 > 0:23:24he's probably appeared on a few singles.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I'm going to go for Pharrell.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Pharrell?- Hm.- OK. Pharrell.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Let's see if Pharrell is right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33If you can get below this red line with Pharrell,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35you are through to the next round.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Pharrell.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43It's right and you're through.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well, 18 is what Sam scored. 22 is what you score. Very well done.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50APPLAUSE
0:23:50 > 0:23:5140 is your total.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Well played, David.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yeah, he's number two on the list with Happy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Pharrell Williams. - Thank you very much.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Now then, Chris.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Now, we have a contest on our hands here, Chris.- We do.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04This is exciting.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I hardly know what streamed means.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08LAUGHTER
0:24:10 > 0:24:17But I think there was a very popular song by Robin Thicke,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19so I'm going to go with him.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Robin Thicke, says Chris. Robin Thicke.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25OK. No red line for you, you're joint high-scorers.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Robin Thicke.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, bad luck, Chris.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'm afraid not 2014.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's right, teamed up with Pharrell of course,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44but not 2014, I'm afraid.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Now then, Tom. You have a target here, which is 99.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- 99 or less gets you into the head-to-head.- Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Come on.- I was going to try and do a risky one
0:24:56 > 0:24:58cos I thought Chris would get a good'un,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01but I think because of that, I'm going to play it quite safe
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and go Ed Sheeran.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Ed Sheeran, says Tom.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ed Sheeran.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10There's your red line right at the top of the column.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Can you get below that?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You can and you do.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Very well done indeed, Tom. Good answer there. Ed Sheeran.
0:25:20 > 0:25:2232. 132 is your total.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25APPLAUSE Good work.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Yeah, he had four songs in that top 40, Ed Sheeran,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Thinking Out Loud being the highest placed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33He was actually the most streamed artist of all in 2014.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Over one billion streams of Ed Sheeran songs.- What?!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- That's a river, a torrent. - Over one billion.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It really is. Isn't it incredible stuff.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I'll give you some of the low-scorers
0:25:43 > 0:25:44before we do the pointless answers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:483 points for Ariana Grande, Ella Henderson, Pitbull.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51You'd have got two points for Magic, Avicii, Meghan Trainor,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Jess Glynne and John Legend.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56One point for John Newman, Vance Joy, Iggy Azalea, Charli XCX,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Mr Probz and Imagine Dragons. Bastille also one point.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Let's take a look at the pointless answers now.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Huge number one hit from Duke Dumont - I Got You.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Jax Jones, who's featured on that, was also a pointless answer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Idina Menzel, who did Let It Go,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11would be a pointless answer, from Frozen.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13So well done if you said that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Juicy J, who teamed up with Katy Perry, was a pointless answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Kesha. Lilly Wood, who teamed up with Robin Schulz,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22was also a pointless answer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Lorde, who released Royals, that was one of the top 40 streamed songs.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Nico & Vinz. Passenger, who did Let Her Go.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And Route 94, who teamed up with Jess Glynne.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Also OneRepublic - Counting Stars was a pointless answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Well done if you got any of those.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Pharrell Williams, there you go, with 22.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Sam Smith, 28. And we know who's top - Ed Sheeran, 32.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So at the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:51 > 0:26:54with their high score of 200... I'm so sorry, Chris and Laura.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well, you did twice as well today as you did last time,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59but I'm afraid we still haven't got to see you in the head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I'm so sorry. But it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Chris and Laura.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:09But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Very, very well done, Sam and David, Tom and Emilia.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and a chance to play for that jackpot.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26That jackpot now being £7,000, just in case we'd forgotten.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31But, yeah, very well done having got to this stage,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34cos obviously, you can now chat before you give your answers,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35play as teams, which is nice.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37The first player to win two questions
0:27:37 > 0:27:38will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Well, very, very pleasing that you've both made it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44You've seen off our two returning pairs, which is no mean feat.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And I've just worked out why every time I've seen Sam,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49something's been pleasing me about that, and it's because
0:27:49 > 0:27:50that pattern on your jumper...
0:27:50 > 0:27:53My grandparents used to have some lino with that...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- LAUGHTER - This is...- ..with that pattern on.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- This is actually my grandad's jumper.- Is it really?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59He gave me it. I thought I'd wear it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, he clearly gets it from the same lino shop
0:28:01 > 0:28:04as my grandparents got their bathroom from.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06How very pleasing. Anyway, so lovely. Thanks, Sam.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Richard.- Yes. Simply going to show you five pictures now
0:28:24 > 0:28:26of famous people called Tony or Anthony.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Let's reveal our five famous Tonys and Anthonys, and here they are.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01There we are. Five famous Tonys or Anthonys.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Now, Sam and David, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Fantastic. Who do you think?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I think C.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Yeah, I think C.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Do you know D for sure?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17We're going to go C.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I used to have his computer games.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21It's Tony Hawk.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Tony Hawk, say Sam and David.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Now, Tom and Emilia, talk us through that board, please.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30We were going to go for Tony Hawk as well.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32B is obviously Tony Blair.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36E is Anthony Head, I think.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38And I think D... I don't know.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40If I was going to guess, it might be Tony Bennett,
0:29:40 > 0:29:41but I'm not sure at all.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46So I think we'll go for E.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Yeah? Do you think so?- Yeah.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Which is Anthony Head.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Anthony Head, say Tom and Emilia.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53So we have Tony Hawk and Anthony Head.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Sam and David said Tony Hawk for C.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Tony Hawk.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09That's a very good answer.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Very well done, Sam and David.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14APPLAUSE
0:30:14 > 0:30:158 for Tony Hawk.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Tom and Amelia have gone for Anthony Head for E.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said Anthony Head.
0:30:30 > 0:30:3335. APPLAUSE
0:30:33 > 0:30:3535 for Anthony Head, which means, Sam and David,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38very well done indeed. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Yeah, Tony Hawk, the skateboarder, of course.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Best answer on the board, he is, so very well done.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Couldn't have beaten it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I love the fact we've got someone from Liverpool on
0:30:46 > 0:30:47because I genuinely...
0:30:47 > 0:30:50They always say An-thony instead of An-tony.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- I just like it. - Is that a Liverpudlian thing?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53It's always An-thony, isn't it?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I didn't realise it was a Liverpudlian thing, but, yeah.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58They always do, always do.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59- A is...- Anthony Perkins.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- An-thony Perkins. - An-thony Perkins, of course, yes.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Would've scored you 13 points.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06We'll leave B for a moment.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- D is...- Tony Curtis.- ..Tony Curtis.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Would've scored 53.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14What do you reckon Tony Blair scored?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Erm... Well, that you're asking means it's remarkable.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20So it must either be remarkably high or is disappointingly low.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'm going to say 98.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- 96 points.- 96.- 96 points. - That's pretty good.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27That's very high, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That's higher than Gordon Brown would get.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Certainly. Certainly.- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Thank you very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Tom and Amelia, you get to answer it first, but you have to win it
0:31:37 > 0:31:39to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45German Cities. Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47We are going to show you the name of five German cities now
0:31:47 > 0:31:49but with alternate letters missing.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Can you tell us the most obscure?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55OK. Let's reveal our five German cities, and here they are.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56We've got...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Tom and Amelia, you will go first.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20So, we know the top four, we think,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24but we think that the fifth one's going to be the lowest scorer,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26which is probably why we don't know it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- We'll go for the fourth one. - Yeah, we'll go for the fourth one,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31which I'm going to let you say just in case I say it wrong.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- It's Dusseldorf, I hope. - Dusseldorf, say Tom and Amelia.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Now, Sam and David, talk us through that board.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39We know all of them, don't we?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Well, we do now they've said that. - Yeah, yeah!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43We thought that was Dresden, so we know all of them now.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- It definitely isn't Dresden.- No.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49So, top one, we think Cologne, Stuttgart,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Munich and...Berlin - The last one, yeah, Berlin.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- We're going to go for Stuttgart. - Stuttgart.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So, we have Dusseldorf and we have Stuttgart.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Tom and Amelia said Dusseldorf. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Ooh! - 69 for Dusseldorf.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12APPLAUSE
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Sam and David, meanwhile, have gone for Stuttgart.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21It's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23And it wins you the point.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Look at that. There we are. 56 for Stuttgart.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28APPLAUSE Very well done indeed.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30That means, Sam and David, after only two questions,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35And even more impressive, that's the best answer on the board as well.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37On both boards, you got the best possible answer,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39so very, very well played.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Again, it's one of those situations
0:33:40 > 0:33:42where if your kids are into football,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44they learn an awful lot about geography
0:33:44 > 0:33:45cos you get to know your cities so well.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Stuttgart. Cologne, of course, another football city.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50And Cologne would've scored...
0:33:52 > 0:33:53..78. Munich...
0:33:55 > 0:33:57..would've scored 91. Biggest scorer up there.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59And Berlin...
0:34:00 > 0:34:02..as you'll see, it scores 74.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03So it scores fewer
0:34:03 > 0:34:05than Munich or Cologne.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09There's something about the letters that it doesn't quite catch as easy.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- Doesn't leap out, does it?- Yeah.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15So, at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I'm sorry to say, Tom and Amelia, we're saying goodbye to you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21It's sort of good news, though, cos we get see you again next time.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Because otherwise it would all have been over in one show.- Yeah.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Lovely having you on. We'll see you again then.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Tom and Amelia. Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:34But for Sam And David, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Very, very well done, Sam and David.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You've seen off all the competition,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- you have now won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:53 > 0:34:58and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £7,000.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Now...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04..someone is going to have to win that sooner or later,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06and if not you, who?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You've been our low-scorers in Round One,
0:35:08 > 0:35:09our low-scorers in Round Two,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12head-to-head, you saw off with no difficulty at all, 2-0.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You've come storming through to the final.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Momentum is behind you here, shall we say.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18What would you like to see come up?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I would love David Bowie to come up because that's his department
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- and that keeps me off the hook, then I can...- Oh, I see.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- ..shift the pressure a bit.- Anything that keeps you off the hook, David?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Well, yeah, I think the David Bowie thing, for me,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33is good cos I can answer all those questions.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35But anything wrestling comes up, I'm just going to stand
0:35:35 > 0:35:38somewhere over there and let Sam get on with it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42OK. Let's hope there's something up there that...vaguely suits you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Best of luck. Here they come.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Erm, we...- It's got to be American Films, really, hasn't it?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Yeah. Richard Nixon, definitely not.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Olympic Throwing Events, I mean, just look at me.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I've got no sports expertise whatsoever.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Romantic Fiction, definitely not.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So American Films, it's going to have to be the one.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Well, best of luck. American Films.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12We are looking for anybody credited in any of the following three films.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Anyone who acted in the following three films according to IMDb.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Anyone from 1999's American Beauty.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Anyone from American Psycho in the year 2000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Or anyone from American Graffiti from 1973, please.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27So anyone who received an acting credit
0:36:27 > 0:36:30in any of those three films according to IMDb.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Very, very best of luck, gents. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:36 > 0:36:37and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:37 > 0:36:40is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41- Are you ready? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47OK. Harrison Ford was in American Graffiti.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Was he? I've no idea. I've not seen any of them.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- American Beauty, nothing at all? - No.- OK.- The Mena Suvari one?
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- That's the one with Kevin Spacey. - Kevin Spacey, Mena Suvari...- Yeah.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I've got no idea about...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02So Harrison Ford for American Graffiti.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- Ron Howard was in that one. - Ron Howard was in it?- I believe so.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- American Psycho's Christian Bale, isn't it?- Yeah. Who else is in it?
0:37:10 > 0:37:11I've no idea.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Apart from Christian Bale! - BOTH CHUCKLE
0:37:13 > 0:37:15That's going to be the main person in it.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- I think Harrison Ford.- Yeah. - I'm not sure about Ron Howard
0:37:17 > 0:37:20because I think he's going to score points in there.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22We'll go for both of them cos we haven't got anything else.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25And you say... What was the other one in American Beauty?
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Mena Suvari, is it?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I think that's her name, how you pronounce it.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Kevin Bacon.- Kevin Spacey. - Spacey, that's it.- Spacey.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Bacon's in everything, though. - DAVID CHUCKLES
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Ten seconds left.- American Psycho...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- No. I think we're just going to have to go for those three...- OK.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- ..and take the trophy.- OK, yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK. You're happy to let the minute run out. There it is.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Let's have your three answers,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- and say which category you're answering in.- Sure.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- So, from American Beauty, who do you have?- Mena Suvari.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Mena Suvari.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- And then, from American Graffiti, Harrison Ford...- Harrison Ford.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- ..and Ron Howard. - And Ron Howard.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03OK, off those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Argh!- I'd say...Mena Suvari. - Mena Suvari, we will put last.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Least likely to be pointless? - Ron Howard, I think.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Ron Howard, we put first.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16OK. Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18And here they are. We've got...
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Well, best of luck. Nice big jackpot there.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Let's just imagine one of these answers might be pointless.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31What would you do with that jackpot? Sam, to you first.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Well, I owe David some money, so I'd pay him that.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35LAUGHTER
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I made a New Year's resolution a couple of years ago
0:38:37 > 0:38:42to visit a new country every year, so book somewhere.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Probably one of the pointless countries such as...
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Where have you been so far?- I mean, this is only a couple of years ago.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51I'm not very well travelled. So Holland and Croatia and Russia.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Very good.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Now, David, what about you?
0:38:54 > 0:38:55I'd probably lend it to Sam.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59LAUGHTER That seems to be the pattern.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00OK. Well, best of luck.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02In the first instance, you've gone for Ron Howard.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05We were looking for cast members of American Graffiti.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07This was probably the one you thought was least likely
0:39:07 > 0:39:09to be pointless, but let's find out.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11If it is pointless, it'll win you £7,000.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Let's see how many people said Ron Howard.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17It's right.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Now then, if this goes all the way down to 0,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23you will leave with a cheque for £7,000.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Simple as that. Down it goes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Ron Howard into single figures.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Still going down, still going down.
0:39:27 > 0:39:294. This is very good.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31APPLAUSE
0:39:31 > 0:39:334 for your first answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37That's a cracking score by any measure.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Sadly, it's not a pointless score. - No.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41And for this last round, it has to be pointless.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Your next answer was Harrison Ford,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46and again, we were looking cast members of American Graffiti.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48If it's pointless, it'll win you £7,000.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50How many of our 100 people said Harrison Ford?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Well, it's right.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Ron Howard took us all the way down to 4.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Harrison Ford now takes us down through the 20s
0:40:01 > 0:40:03and into the teens.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Into single figures. Down it goes.
0:40:04 > 0:40:066 for Harrison Ford.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08APPLAUSE
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Also not a bad score.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14OK. Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16which is Mena Suvari.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19In this case, we were looking for cast members of American Beauty.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22If this is pointless, it will win you £7,000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27How many of our 100 people said Mena Suvari? Is it pointless?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32It's right.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Ron Howard took us down to 4.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Harrison Ford, your second answer,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38took us down to 6.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Mena Suvari taking us down into single figures.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Down it goes. Passes 6. Passes 4.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43- Oh, 2.- Aw!
0:40:43 > 0:40:48APPLAUSE
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Wow.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Three very, very good answers.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55But I'm sorry to say, you didn't manage to find
0:40:55 > 0:40:56that all-important pointless answer.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,000.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02That will roll over onto the next show. But what a performance.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Absolutely brilliant having you here today,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06and you've been so consistently good.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Great answers right the way through the show,
0:41:08 > 0:41:09so very well done indeed.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- And you get a Pointless trophy to take home, so very well done.- Yeah.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Thank you.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20That's unlucky, guys. You know what? You covered yourself in glory
0:41:20 > 0:41:23throughout the show, and it's a shame not to have them back.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25We'll go through the pointless answers
0:41:25 > 0:41:27including my favourite named actor of all time
0:41:27 > 0:41:28in the American Psycho category.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30But we'll start with American Beauty.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Allison Janney. Better known as CJ in The West Wing.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37She played the neighbour. Peter Gallagher, Scott Bakula.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Also known for Quantum Leap. Plays Sam Beckett in Quantum Leap.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Wes Bentley at the bottom there. They were all pointless answers.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Everyone enough film was pointless other than Kevin Spacey,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari and Chris Cooper.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Everyone else is a pointless answer.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's move on to American Psycho.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56So, Guinevere Turner, who also co-wrote the screenplay,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58and Josh Lucas.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59And then Park Bench.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- LAUGHTER - Brilliant.- Just brilliant.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Who plays Stash in the film, Park Bench.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08What were Mr and Mrs Bench thinking?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- LAUGHTER - Goodness me.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14And Samantha Mathis, also a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Everyone apart from Christian Bale, Reese Witherspoon,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Justin Theroux, Jared Leto, Willem Dafoe and Chloe Sevigny.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22They were the ones that scored points.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Everyone else was a pointless answer. American Graffiti now.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Kathleen Quinlan,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Wolfman Jack played the DJ.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34And only three answers in that film scored any points at all,
0:42:34 > 0:42:39and they were Harrison Ford, Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Sam and David,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44but it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Thank you for playing. Sam and David, great contestants.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Unlucky there.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Well, sadly, Sam and David didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:42:53 > 0:42:56it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £8,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
