0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello, I'm Sue and this is my friend Pauline
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and we are from Milton Keynes.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hello, I'm Zack and this is my friend Luke
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and we're from Canterbury in Kent.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Jim, I'm from Sheffield.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is my mum, Rose, she's from Leek in Staffordshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Nathan and this is my workmate Jay.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'm from West Brom and he's from Birmingham.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Thanks very much all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Welcome to Pointless.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about each of you as the show goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09A real telly mover and shaker, he's best mates with the banker
0:01:09 > 0:01:11from Deal Or No Deal and once snogged Dusty Bin.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's my pointless friend, it's Richard!
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody. Hello.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon to you, sir. - Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- What are we going to do about this jackpot?- I, I don't know.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We cannot give it away. We can't give it away.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Sometimes, we had seven wins in a row, recently.- I know!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Haven't had a win for a very, very long time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Makes it exciting, though. Three returning pairs from that last show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Luke and Zack did the best of our three returning pairs,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Seemed very unfair. Sue and Pauline are our only newcomers
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- and they're on the first podium. - I know.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- That doesn't seem right.- No.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And poor old Jim who comes from Sheffield
0:01:49 > 0:01:52got knocked out in Round One and Round Two was People From Sheffield.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54In fact, Jim was our lowest-scoring answer.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56You were a very low-scoring answer.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00But, yeah, lovely jackpot, someone at some point is going to grab it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Could it be somebody today?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03That would be exciting.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, Katherine and Laura didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:06 > 0:02:08so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So, today's jackpot starts off at £11,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:18If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25All you have to remember is this.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The pair with the highest score at the end of all each round
0:02:28 > 0:02:30will be eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Our first category this afternoon is Artists.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38who's going to go second?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51An artist in haiku, Richard?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Only cos we've got an £11,000 jackpot,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- I thought I would go well highbrow. - Good, well...- Well highbrow.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59We're going to give you seven descriptions of artists
0:02:59 > 0:03:02on each board now, but we've done them in the form of haiku poems -
0:03:02 > 0:03:05that's five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Don't panic, you'll know who some of them are, I promise you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Can you tell us the most obscure one of them, please?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Going to be 14 in all to have a go at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, let's reveal our first board of seven haikus and here they are.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02There we are, seven lovely concise little Haikus,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm going to read them all one last time.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- There we are. Sue, a warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you very much.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- From Milton Keynes?- From Milton Keynes.- What do you do, Sue?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- I'm a retired primary headteacher. - When did you retire?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Four years ago.- Four years ago. Now, do you miss it terribly?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- No, not at all. - Not without a second's hesitation.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Erm, and what have you taken up? What do you do with your...?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I mostly look after my grandson, which is why I retired.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Fair enough.- And I do my garden and look after my chickens.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- How many chickens have you got?- Six. - Six. We've had five little chicks.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Oh!- Very exciting. Actually five and another hen's become broody.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I don't know what we're going to do. That's going to be too many.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- That's too many.- Yeah, anyway...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Kill the cockerel I think is the answer.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14AUDIENCE LAUGH
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Sorry.- No, I suppose, yes... - There are times.- Well, we'll see.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I'm not sure it's come to that quite yet. But kill...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25This was the show with kill the cockerel!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- I must admit, you must have been quite a teacher.- Yeah! There we go.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Now, Sue.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Which of these haikus? See, it's not so bad, is it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36No, it's very easy.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I think I'll go for the last one and that's Botticelli.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Botticelli, says Sue.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Botticelli.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It's right.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Botticelli, very well done indeed! - That's all right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:0115 for Botticelli.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yeah, one of the greatest painters of the Florentine Renaissance.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05And yet I can't hear his name
0:06:05 > 0:06:08without hearing it in Rik Mayall's voice.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Yes, famously was part of a Young Ones script.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13He was. He was indeed.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Luke, welcome back. - Thanks.- Welcome back.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Yes, I just remembered, we had you in the head-to-head last time
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and Brian Blessed was what tripped you up.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I don't know much about Brian Blessed.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I didn't know anything about him
0:06:28 > 0:06:31but Zack knew one thing but it wasn't the right thing to know.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It wasn't the right thing to know.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Anyway, Luke, remind us about yourself.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, I'm from south London, Raynes Park,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40but we go to university in Canterbury.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Yeah, I'm an English literature student and I enjoy playing music.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I play drums in my free time.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- And I'm a Fulham fan as well, avid Fulham fan.- Oh, I didn't know that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Yeah.- Are you? Yeah. - Avid Fulham fan!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Luke, what would you like to go for here?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58I only know a couple
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and they're probably going to be the highest scorers.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think I'm just going to have to go for the Turner nominee,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Unmade Bed one, Tracey Emin.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Tracey Emin, says Luke.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tracey Emin?
0:07:17 > 0:07:1936.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Not terrible by any means.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Very good answer, well done.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Tracey Emin...stands the test of time as well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30As years go by, she gets more and more impressive, I think.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Hmm, yeah, thank you. Now, Jim. Welcome back.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Remind us what you do, Jim.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I work at Leeds University.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm doing my PhD as well in my spare time.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Oh, so you're doing your PhD there but you're also in charge of ethics?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I am also in charge of ethics.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46You're in charge of ethics,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- just making sure that the student body are good people.- Sort of.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You are the moral compass for them all. Now, Jim.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What would you like to go for on our board of haikus?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm slightly in two minds.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58I think I know them all
0:07:58 > 0:08:01but I'm going to go for one that's slightly riskier.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03The second one I think is Vermeer.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Vermeer, says Jim. Gets a nod from your mum.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Let's see if it's right,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10let's see how many of our 100 people said Vermeer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Very good indeed, Jim.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Answering like that should get you
0:08:24 > 0:08:25into the next round, I think.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- 8 for Vermeer.- Well played, Tim, Johannes Vermeer.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Considered one of the really great Dutch masters.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Only 35 or so works of his exist.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35So, if you've got one, it's worth a few bob.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37If you've got one, go on Flog It!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- AUDIENCE LAUGH - That'd be my advice.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Hmm, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Now then, Jay.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Jay, remind us what you do.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm the president of a student's union at Newman University.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So, what really fills your time?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Well, we're elected to be the student voice
0:08:55 > 0:08:58for the student body at the university.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So, doing any campaigns they want us to do,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02many events they want us to put on.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And just anything, really, being there for their welfare as well.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Interesting. What are you going to do with this board?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- It's all yours.- Erm, change it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah! OK. HE LAUGHS
0:09:12 > 0:09:15No, art has never been one of my strongest subjects.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'm sorry, Nathan. So, I'm just going to have a complete guess.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You're going to know some of these, though?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well, the two I did know have gone.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26And the only other one I can think of is Vincent Van Gogh.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm going to say that for the Norwegian artist
0:09:29 > 0:09:30known for Frieze Of Life.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, Van Gough or a Van Go, says Jay.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Van Gogh.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm afraid not, Jay.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I want to go argh! But I...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- I won't.- So do I.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48That scores you 100 points, Jay.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Let's take a look at all of these.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Born in Manchester. - That'd be Lowry. TS Lowry.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- That would have scored you 58 points.- LS, I beg your pardon.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- The Norwegian artist? - Munch.- Edvard Munch.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Would have scored you 18.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04The Cubism master?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Picasso.- Pablo Picasso, 27.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You've heard of Picasso, Jay?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Yep. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- And Edvard Munch! - And the French impressionist?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Is Monet.- Yeah, Claude Monet. And that would have scored you 43.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- It's all about the Monet. - There we are, yes, indeed.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Thank you, Richard. Halfway through the round.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Let's take a look at those scores. 8, well done, Jim.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Jim and Rose looking very strong at this point.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Then up to 15, where we find Sue and Pauline.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Up to Luke and Zack on 36.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36And then Jay and Nathan, I'm sorry. 100 there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Is it the haikus or is it the art? - Probably the art, to be fair.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Probably the art. Now, Nathan, how is your art?- Terrible.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45We'll just go now, if you want.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46OK, we'll come back down the line,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54OK, we're going to put seven more haikus up on the board
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and here they are.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57We have got...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I will read all of those one last time.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03There we are. Nathan?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Now, let's just ignore the haikus for now, Nathan.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Remind us what you get up to.- I work with James at the students union.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm the vice president, he's the president.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'm just guessing this just from you and Jay,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I imagine you have quite a lot of fun, don't you?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yeah.- Do you get a lot of work done in that office?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And what do you like getting up to when you're out of the office?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I love football. I'm a massive West Bromwich Albion fan.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- No? No-one else? OK. - HE LAUGHS
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And I do run a Sunday team with my friend Matty as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40OK, there we are. Now Nathan, you're on 100.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- You're the high scorers by quite a long way.- Yeah.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Do you think you can find a low score on the board?- Nope.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Er, I think I can...
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I know probably a couple more painters than James.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58I'm going to go with the top one and go Leonardo da Vinci.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance master. Let's see if that's right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Let's see if our 100 people said it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05No red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10See you later.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I'm afraid not, Nathan,
0:13:12 > 0:13:13that scores 100 points,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- takes your total up to 200.- OK.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Sorry, I'll give the correct answer to that at the end of the pass.- OK.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Thank you very much indeed. Now, Rose. Rose, welcome back.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Remind us what you do, Rose. - I'm a retired teacher.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Very good, and what do you like getting up to, Rose?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I like walking and any kind of exercise, really.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Going to the gym and yoga, spinning.- Good stuff.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39And what would you like to go for, Rose?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I think I'll play safe. The top one, Michelangelo.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Michelangelo, let's see how many of our 100 people said that?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No red line.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:5548.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Takes your total up to 56.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Yeah, buried in the same place as Galileo and Machiavelli.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Quite cool, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling
0:14:07 > 0:14:09but his spare room ceiling, still not done.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Still not and he promised to have it done.- Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The paint's in the garage and he still hasn't done it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Thank you, Richard. Now Zack, Zack.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Welcome back, Zack.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Remind us what you do, Zack.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I'm a student at Canterbury Christ Church University,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28specialise in a television, radio and film.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Television, radio and film. You go out and do camera stuff as well?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I've done a few practical bits and pieces.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You know, bit of editing, bit of camera work, floor managing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Fantastic. Now then, Zack.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41There you are on 36, doesn't matter what you score.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You are through to the next round. What would you like to go for?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I know one and it hasn't been taken yet, I'm very happy.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The leading pop artist famous for paintings and prints
0:14:52 > 0:14:55like Campbell's soup cans -
0:14:55 > 0:14:57actually I'm not too sure now but I'll go with it.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Andy Warhol.- Andy Warhol, says Zack.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01No red line for you, you're already through.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's see how many people said Andy Warhol.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12The we are, good answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:1436 is what it scores you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15You equal Luke's score,
0:15:15 > 0:15:16it takes your total up to 72.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yeah, safe and sound, Zack.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Also was of course a film-maker, Andy Warhol.- Indeed. Thank you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Now, Pauline.- Hello. - Pauline, welcome to the show.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- What do you do, Pauline? - I'm also a retired teacher.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Were you at the same school as Sue? - Yes.- I see.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Did you know each other before teaching there
0:15:34 > 0:15:35or that was when you became friends?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- We became friends at the school. - And when did you retire?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- About seven years ago. - And enjoying it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Not missing the teaching at all? - I'm loving my retirement.- Lovely.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Now, Pauline, what would you like to get up to?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Well, I also look after my grandchildren
0:15:49 > 0:15:53and I like walking the dog and I love knitting.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Excellent. What's your most ambitious knitting project so far?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59The best thing I've knitted so far
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I think is a jumper for my daughter with owls over it.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Even without the owls, that was impressive.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Knitting a jumper, that's quite an undertaking, isn't it?- It is.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Wonderful. Now then, Pauline, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13you're through to the next round, which is great news.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Why not talk us through this board? See if you can answer some of these.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I don't think I can talk you through the board
0:16:19 > 0:16:22but the English Romantic known for Dedham Vale landscapes
0:16:22 > 0:16:24was John Constable.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Constable, says Pauline.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27No red line, you're already through.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Constable.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Good answer, 25, takes your total
0:16:40 > 0:16:42up to a nice round 40.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- The lowest score of the round, I might add.- Gosh!
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Well played, Pauline.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49In 2013, the Tate purchased one of his paintings,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Salisbury Cathedral From The Meadows, for £23.1 million.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- It's not bad going, isn't it? - Not bad at all.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Let's fill in the rest of these. Do you know the Mexican painter?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Frida Kahlo?- Frida Kahlo would have scored you 6.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- The Yorkshireman?- David Hockney.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07David Hockney would have scored you 17. The YBA member?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Damien Hirst.- Damien Hirst would have scored you 35.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And the Frenchman at the bottom there?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- That one I would have to take a bit of a guess on.- If you had to guess?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19- I'll tell you what.- Go on.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The painting, the most expensive painting ever
0:17:21 > 0:17:23was of two Tahitian women.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Ah, yes, we do know him.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Erm, Gauguin.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Paul Gauguin, absolutely right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Would have scored you 3 points, best answer on the board.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Sold that for nearly £200 million. - You see, there we are.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Those doodles you do, by the way, during the rounds,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I think are very good, Richard.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Thank you, I do sell some of them.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46But I've yet to get over seven or eight million
0:17:46 > 0:17:48for any individual doodle.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Thank you very much. Well, we are at the end of our first round.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And I'm sorry to say, Nathan and Jay,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm afraid you have been outperformed
0:17:56 > 0:17:57by your fellow contestants.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Been great having you on both shows. Nathan and Jay!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05APPLAUSE
0:18:05 > 0:18:08But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Very well done, everybody. We are through to Round Two.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I tell you, with this huge jackpot looming like that,
0:18:20 > 0:18:21everything's so charged.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24It's like one of those days when there's a thunderstorm brewing.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27One of you three pairs could be going through to the final
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and playing for £11,000.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31That's just a terrifying thought, isn't it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Best of luck to all three pairs,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK, can you all decide in your pairs,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:55 > 0:18:56...as they could.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Football clubs beginning with A, B, C or D, Richard?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Looking for the name of any English football league club
0:19:01 > 0:19:04in the top four divisions in the 2014/15 season
0:19:04 > 0:19:07whose names begin A, B, C or D, please.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Very best of luck. - OK, now this is quite fun.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Says I, because I don't have to play it. But you know, it is, it's fun.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Pauline?- I'm going to try Coventry City.- Coventry City, says Pauline.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Let's see how made of our 100 people said Coventry City.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It is right, Pauline.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Look at that, 10 for Coventry City!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Very well done indeed.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Well played, Pauline.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41They started out in life as Singers FC, which begins with S
0:19:41 > 0:19:43so we wouldn't have allowed it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46In Victorian Pointless, they would have been an incorrect answer.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Victorian Pointless, what they used to do,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- they would fill this with water. - Yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53And then two gentleman with massive sideburns would control,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56one watching and the other one with a tap at the bottom.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59And they would let it out, it was much slower in those days.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01But I tell you what, Brucey did a very good job of hosting it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04He did, he did. AUDIENCE LAUGH
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Thanks very much indeed. Now, Zack.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08What would you like to go for?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10So much choice.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I'm going to go with Colchester United.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Colchester United.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Colchester United, let's see if it's right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It is right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, 10 was what we got for Coventry.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Colchester leaves Coventry in its wake.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30There we are.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34This is very good, Zack.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Very good indeed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Founded in 1873 is Colchester Town.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Nicknamed the Oysters for reasons I don't know.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Not far from the coast, I suppose.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Colchester natives are delicious. Mm.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47I mean, the oysters.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ah! Phew.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah, now then, Rose.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Not my subject, this.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Erm, Blackburn Rovers.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Blackburn Rovers, says Rose.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our
0:21:00 > 0:21:01100 people said Blackburn Rovers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, 10 and 7 are our only scores
0:21:08 > 0:21:09at this point.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Ow! Rose, I'm sorry!
0:21:14 > 0:21:1723 for Blackburn Rovers. That's a nice score.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Yeah, memorably won the Premier League title in '94/'95.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23One of only three clubs who were a founder member of the Premier League
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and of the original Football League as well.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Oh, that's nice. Nice of them to stick around.- Isn't it?- Yes.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Halfway through the round
0:21:30 > 0:21:32so let's take a look at those scores. 7, well done, Zack.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Zack and Luke looking very strong at this point on 7.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Up to 10, Pauline and Sue, well done.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Then Jim and Rose, you're on 23.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You'll have to define a nice low score on the next pass, Jim,
0:21:41 > 0:21:42so good luck with that.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We're going to come back down the line now,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49OK, Jim, remember,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53we're looking for football clubs whose names start with A, B, C or D.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55OK, not my subject either.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I'm going to slightly risky,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I don't know whether they are in the league.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Crewe Alexandra.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Crewe Alexandra, says Jim, Crewe Alexandra.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Let's see if that's right, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19That's a good score!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Look at that, Crewe Alexandra
0:22:22 > 0:22:23scores you 5.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Takes your total up to 28, that could be enough.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- You never know, Jim. - It's a very good answer, yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Funnily enough, finished one place below Colchester United
0:22:31 > 0:22:32in the season we're talking about.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- They took their name from Princess Alexandra.- Ah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The Alexandra bit, not the Crewe bit. They took that from Crewe.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Right, OK. Yes, thank you very much. Now, Luke.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- 20 or less is what we require from you.- OK, I've got a couple.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I think I'm going to go for Accrington Stanley.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Accrington Stanley.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52There's your red line, get below that,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54you're into the head-to-head for the second time.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's see how many people said Accrington Stanley.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59It's right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Very well done, you're through.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Look at that, 20!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You needed 20, you got 20.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- There we are, 27 is your total. - That was close, yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Such a well-known name in English football, Accrington Stanley.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Never achieved a huge amount but went out of the league
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and they were famously on a milk advert as well,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which is why most people remember their names.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sue, we come to you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Brilliant low score from Pauline in the first pass.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32If you can score 17 or less...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- No.- Well, let's wait and see.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36The only one I can think of is Derby County.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- So, that is the one you're going to go for.- That's my answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Here's your red line, if you can get below this red line,
0:23:42 > 0:23:43you are into the head-to-head.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Good luck, how many people said it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48It's right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Ooh! 18!- Oh!
0:23:56 > 0:24:0218, which puts your score on 28.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Hold on, let me ring the monks.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- You ring the monks. - We're in a lockdown situation.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08This means we have achieved lockdown.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11We have achieved lockdown. That noise you can hear
0:24:11 > 0:24:14is the air locks on the doors of the studio being closed.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17No-one is allowed to get out, no-one is allowed to come in,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20unless they are a bunch of Benedictine monks.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Just so you know, we have three minutes of oxygen left,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25three minutes of oxygen left.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- This is an amber warning.- OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The monks are on their way.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'm going to go ahead with the tie-break question.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- They are currently in San Sebastian in Spain.- OK.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I'm hoping they make it here before the oxygen is depleted.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Runs out, OK, we've got about two and a half minutes of oxygen left?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42We have now got...
0:24:42 > 0:24:48Well, I said three minutes and that was 40 seconds ago.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- 2.20, something like that. - I'm just stocking up now.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53HE GULPS OK, now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56As it's a tie, the tied pairs have to give me one more answer each.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01You can confer and we will go to Sue and Pauline first.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03# Ooh!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- BOTH:- # Oh, lockdown, psch! Dum, dum, psch!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11# Ooh, oh, lockdown, psch! Dum, dum, psch! #
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- OK, Sue and Pauline, what would you like to go for?- Doncaster Rovers.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Doncaster Rovers.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Jim and Rose, Doncaster Rovers is what they're going to go for.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- We're going to go for Bolton Wanderers.- Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Doncaster Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, in the order they were given.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Sue and Pauline went for Doncaster Rovers.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- 25.- Oh, that's quite a lot.
0:25:42 > 0:25:4725 for Doncaster Rovers, taking your total up to 53.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Now, Jim and Rose have gone for Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Your target is 24, Jim and Rose.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56That's what it looks like on the board there, that red line.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You have gone for Bolton Wanderers, let's see if it's right,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01how many of our 100 people said Bolton Wanderers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It's right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Ooh!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh, I'm sorry.
0:26:10 > 0:26:1237 is your total there.
0:26:12 > 0:26:1437's your score there,
0:26:14 > 0:26:1565 is your total.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm sorry, Jim and Rose.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Doncaster Rovers, 25. Bolton Wanderers, 37.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21That is a game and a half, isn't it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23We had some really good answers during the round,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25there's no pointless answers at all.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I'm going to give you the lowest scores.
0:26:27 > 0:26:301 point, best possible answer you could have gone for, Burton Albion.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well done if you said that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:342 points for Crawley Town, 4 points for Cheltenham town,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37the best three answers you could have gone for.
0:26:37 > 0:26:407 points for Bury, 8 for Chesterfield and Cambridge United.
0:26:40 > 0:26:4112 for Carlisle and Barnsley.
0:26:41 > 0:26:4315 for Blackpool and Bournemouth.
0:26:43 > 0:26:4616 for Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic.
0:26:46 > 0:26:4719 for Brighton and Hove Albion.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Bradford City and Bristol City both got 22.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Birmingham City, 37. And here's the top three answers
0:26:54 > 0:26:57most of our 100 people gave when we asked them online.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04SOME CHEERING
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Some Arsenal fans in, as there always are.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09There we are, thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10So, we are at the end of our second round.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I'm sorry to say the pair who are heading home
0:27:12 > 0:27:15with their high score of 65, Jim and Rose.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Well, what can I say?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18That was a historic second round there,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22particularly the charge of that £11,000 jackpot hanging over us.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25But I'm sorry, this is where we say goodbye to you.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Much better to see you for another round than we did last time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30But thanks so much for playing, Jim and Rose.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, congratulations, Sue and Pauline, Luke and Zack.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for
0:27:48 > 0:27:50that jackpot, which, let's not forget,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52is still standing at £11,000.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, from here on in, you can start playing as teams, great news.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02First player to win two questions in this round
0:28:02 > 0:28:04will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I think this is going to be very closely matched
0:28:06 > 0:28:07but very exciting indeed.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18OK, here's your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Famous Emmas, Richard?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25On this board, we're going to show you five pictures
0:28:25 > 0:28:27of famous people called Emma.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Let's reveal our five famous Emmas and here they come.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32We have got...
0:28:55 > 0:28:57There we are, five famous Emmas.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Sue and Pauline, you're our low scorers so you will go first.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Emma Forbes...
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I don't know any of the others. I think so.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Go for A.- Yes.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11We think A is Emma Forbes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- You think A is... - Emma Forbes.- Emma Forbes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16A, Emma Forbes.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Now then, Luke and Zack, talk us through the rest of the Emmas.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23The rest of the Emmas, B is Emma Bunton,
0:29:23 > 0:29:28D is Emma Thompson but we're going to go with E
0:29:28 > 0:29:29and Emma Willis.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Emma Willis, say Luke and Zack. Emma Willis.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33So we have Emma Forbes and we have Emma Willis.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Sue and Pauline went for Emma Forbes, let's see if that's right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Let's see if how many people said Emma Forbes.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Emma Forbes scores you 29.
0:29:49 > 0:29:5029 for Emma Forbes.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Luke and Zack meanwhile have gone for Emma Willis for E.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Lovely Emma Willis. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03It's right.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04It's got to beat 29, though.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Oh, 44!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Well done, Sue and Pauline, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Well played, we've both worked with lovely Emma Willis.- We have.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Isn't she nice?- Isn't she? - Let's look at the rest of these.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21B is Emma Bunton, of course. Would have scored you 74.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23We'll leave C for a moment.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24D is Emma Thompson.
0:30:26 > 0:30:2853. And do you know C?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30I don't know who C is.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32You will know the name but not the face,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34she's the ceramics manufacturer.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Emma Bridgewater, is she?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38And it's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39There we are.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43So, here comes your second question and, Luke and Zack,
0:30:43 > 0:30:44you get to answer it first
0:30:44 > 0:30:46but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48It concerns...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Types of bears, Richard.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54We'll show you five names of types of bear now
0:30:54 > 0:30:56but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Can you fill in those gaps, please?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Let's reveal our five types of bears with bits missing
0:31:00 > 0:31:03and here they are. We have got...
0:31:12 > 0:31:13I will read of those all again.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Luke and Zack will go first.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29THEY WHISPER
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Yeah, this isn't very good.
0:31:38 > 0:31:44- We are going to go for the second from the bottom, polar.- Polar.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45OK, Luke and Zack say polar.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Now then, Sue and Pauline, we come to you.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Talk us through as many of those bears as you feel able.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I've got giant panda.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- The middle one is Kodiak, we think. - Kodiak there.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Do you want to go for giant panda?
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- No, Kodiak.- Kodiak.- Kodiak.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So, we have polar and we have Kodiak,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Luke and Zack have gone for polar.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Let's see if that's right,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11how many of our 100 people spotted polar bear.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16It's right. Ooh, look at that!
0:32:16 > 0:32:1895 for polar.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19That's a high score there.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Now, Sue and Pauline, you have to beat that with Kodiak.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Let's see if you can do it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28It's right and you're through.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Kodiak, yeah, that's a fairly comprehensive win
0:32:34 > 0:32:35for Sue and Pauline.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Very well done indeed, after only two questions,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- straight through to the final, 2-0. - Very well played, Sue and Pauline.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44You know what, if there's anything cleverer than teachers,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47it's retired teachers - always, they're always formidable.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Terrific performance in this head-to-head.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Those are actually the biggest two scorers on the board. The top one.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Giant panda.- Giant panda.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Would have scored you 9 points.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57- The bottom one?- Don't know that one.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's the only bear in South America, it's the spectacled bear.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Ah!- Ah, sweet isn't it? 8 points.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Obviously karaoke bear?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Do you know what? Karaoke does fit, doesn't it? That the weird thing.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13It's the surname of a film reviewer.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Kermode!- It's a Kermode bear. - Ha-ha! The Kermode bear.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20That would have scored you 6 points, the best answer on the board.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Well done if you said that. - I love the idea of it being karaoke.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25A karaoke bear, I mean, that's...that's a winner.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I can see it singing It's Raining Men.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30# Hallelujah... # HE GROWLS
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Would be fun, wouldn't it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34HE GROWLS: # I will survive! #
0:33:34 > 0:33:36AUDIENCE LAUGHS Oh, I hope it will.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Some of these bears are on the endangered species list.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41And the poor old spectacled bear going, "Who's that singing?
0:33:41 > 0:33:46"Is that...? Oh, it's Bill. I knew it was, I knew I knew that voice."
0:33:48 > 0:33:51So, the pair leaving us at the end head-to-head round,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I'm so sorry, Luke and Zack, it is you.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I'm sorry, you've been head-to-headers twice in a row.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Really unfair and with this looming massive jackpot.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02You've come so close. We say goodbye to you this time for the final time.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Been great having you on the show.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Thank you so much for playing, Luke and Zack.- Thank you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09You too!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12But for Sue and Pauline, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Very well done, Sue and Pauline, you've seen off
0:34:18 > 0:34:21all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's a historic jackpot.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Because at the end of today's show, it is standing at £11,000.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42This I think is one of the highest jackpot we've had
0:34:42 > 0:34:45in the modern game, since we amended the final round.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46It's the highest.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Since we started the new endgame, it's the highest jackpot we've had.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50This is very exciting.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54And wonderful that we should have two ex-teachers here to play for it.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Anything you want to see come up on that board?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- You know what they're like, they're quite forbidding.- Bears.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Bears? - We know quite a lot about bears.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03There's just so much we don't know.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08- Yes, we found out how much we don't know.- Anything.- OK, anything.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well, I can assure you, something will be on the board.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12In fact, there will be four somethings.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Let's see what they look like.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15We've got...
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Do you know any Latin American singers?- No.- No, I don't either.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- Know anything about girl films? - I was just wondering what Venus is.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30What Venus?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33If it's Venus Williams, that'll be no good.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- It could be Venus Williams. - Shall we try it?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Venus. We're going to go for Venus. - You're going to go for Venus?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Sue and Pauline are going to go for Venus.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Yes, three questions from three completely different areas here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Hopefully one of them suits you.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50We are looking for...
0:35:50 > 0:35:54the name and mission number of any NASA mission to Venus, please.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59Or we are looking for anybody beaten by Venus Williams
0:35:59 > 0:36:02in the Wimbledon tennis tournament between 2000 and 2015.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Or we are looking for any artist who's had a UK
0:36:05 > 0:36:08top 40 single which has Venus in the title, please.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10And that's up to July 2015.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So, NASA missions to Venus,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16players beaten by Venus Williams between 2000 and 2015
0:36:16 > 0:36:18or artists with a UK top 40 singles with Venus in the title.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Very best of luck.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with
0:36:23 > 0:36:26three answers and all you need to win that jackpot of £11,000
0:36:26 > 0:36:29is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30- Are you ready?- Mm.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, there they are.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Your time starts now.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Right, you know anything about NASA missions to Venus?- No.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Cross that one of the list.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Do you know any Wimbledon tennis players?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- We have to think of some, don't we?- Can you think of Venus?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Who sang Venus In Blue Jeans?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- I'm trying to remember, was it Bobby Darin?- Bobby Darin!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Go for Bobby Darin. - There might be others.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54What about tennis players?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Venus, we need some women tennis players.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Can't think of any. Serena?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- We could say Serena Williams, couldn't we?- If we're desperate.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04- And we will be.- Yes!
0:37:08 > 0:37:12I don't think it was Bobby Darin who did Venus In Blue Jeans.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14You think about that and I'll think about NASA missions.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I'm trying to think...
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- I'm going to go for Justine Henin as the tennis player.- OK, yes.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- And Venus?- Ten seconds left.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Go for Bobby Darin. - We'll have to say him.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Venus?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34It's only £11,000. It doesn't matter!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36OK. That, I'm sorry to say, is your minute up.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38But it sounds like you've got three answers.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41What are you going to give me? And if you say which categories.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Right, the tennis player, we're going to go for Justine Henin.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Justine Henin. - And Serena?- Serena Williams.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Serena Williams.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- And the artist Bobby Darin. - Bobby Darin, OK.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Now of your three, which is a best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Bobby Darin.- Not the best shot.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02None of them are the best shot!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- I think the lady you said would be the best.- OK, Justine Henin.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Justine Henin goes last.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Least likely to be pointless, Serena Williams.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10And then we put Bobby Darin in the middle.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order then
0:38:13 > 0:38:14and here they are.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Well, very best of luck.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Now before we put these to the test,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I have to ask you, just in case one of these
0:38:25 > 0:38:26turns out to be a pointless answer,
0:38:26 > 0:38:30what would you do with that jackpot if you were to win it?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31£11,000, Sue?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35My grandson, Dylan, he's five, he's a go-kart racer.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, I think I would buy him something that he needs
0:38:38 > 0:38:40to help him race his go-kart.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42OK, Pauline, how about you?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Well, my brother's just come back to England to live
0:38:45 > 0:38:47after spending 40 years in Canada.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49So, it's wonderful to have him near us
0:38:49 > 0:38:52and we'd have a holiday and get all the family together to celebrate.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Wonderful. OK, very good indeed.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Now, three good answers on the board there.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Let's hope one of them is pointless.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Your first answer was Serena Williams,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04in this case we were looking for any Wimbledon tennis players
0:39:04 > 0:39:05beaten by Venus Williams.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08If this is pointless, it will win you £11,000.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Let's see how the people said Serena Williams.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, it's right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Let's see how far down the column we get.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20If it happens to go down to 0,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22you will leave here with £11,000. 48.
0:39:25 > 0:39:2748.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29So, I'm afraid that is not a pointless answer.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Your next answer was Bobby Darin.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36In this case, we were looking for any artist
0:39:36 > 0:39:41who has had a UK top 40 hit with the word Venus in its title.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45For £11,000, how many people said Bobby Darin? Is it pointless?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Oh, bad luck! - Never mind.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I'm afraid Bobby Darin is an incorrect answer.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00the one you thought was probably your best shot
0:40:00 > 0:40:01at a pointless answer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03You have gone for Justine Henin.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Once again, we are looking for Wimbledon tennis players
0:40:06 > 0:40:08beaten by Venus Williams.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11If this is right and if it is pointless, it will win you £11,000.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Justine Henin.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- It's right.- Goodness.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Your first answer, Serena Williams
0:40:23 > 0:40:25was a correct answer and took us down to 48.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Your second answer, Bobby Darin, was incorrect.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Justine Henin now taking us down the single figures.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Down we go. We've done it!
0:40:32 > 0:40:35You have won it! Very well done indeed.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Thank you!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- That is brilliant.- Oh!
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Fantastic.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43AUDIENCE CHEER
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Very well done indeed.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Congratulations!
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- What about that? - Brilliant!- Justine Henin.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Ah, tell you what, if I were a Milton Keynes...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58She's always been my favourite!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02If I were a Milton Keynes-based go-kart kitter,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I would be rubbing my hands right now.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Very well done indeed, that was a pointless answer,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11which means you go home with our jackpot of £11,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Superb. THEY CHEER
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Got us through the head-to-head!
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Oh, brilliant research. Such a big jackpot and so well-deserved.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25So glad you're walking home with it, you've been brilliant all show.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30He's a very lucky lad, Dylan. Congratulations, Dylan.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35We'll start with NASA missions to Venus,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I know you don't care about any of this.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I understand that. NASA.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You could have had...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Also, you could have had Mariner 5 or Mariner 10.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Also could have had Galileo, Magellan or Pioneer Venus 1 and 2.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Loads and loads of good answers on the Wimbledon one,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55loads of pointless answers as well.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Take a look at a few of them.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59The British player Anne Keothavong.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02There's Justine Henin, just won you £11,000.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Good on her. Vera Zvonareva, also could have had.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Kim Clijsters would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Lindsay Davenport, Lisa Raymond, Mary Pierce, Nathalie Tauziat,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Svetlana Kuznetsova, all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19For everyone apart from Serena, Maria Sharapova, Martina Hingis,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Ana Ivanovic and Marion Bartoli were pointless answers,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24so well done if you said anyone else.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27The artist with UK top 40 singles...
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Again, like you care.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Don Pablo's Animals, who had a hit with the same song Bananarama did.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And Jo Breezer, who had a hit with Venus And Mars,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39those are the only four pointless answers there.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Brilliant stuff, Justine Henin, so pleased for you.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44So delighted we finally got that awful jackpot off our hands.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Thank goodness.- Congratulations.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Very well done. Thank you. - Thank you! Thank you.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
