0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the game where you are always striving to find the lowest score.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hello, I'm Steve, and this is Vickie.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We're husband and wife, and we're from Cobham.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- My name's Paddy,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46this is my oldest friend, Sean, and we are from Liverpool.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hello.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49We're Bill and Jill, husband and wife,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51from Hunstanton in Norfolk.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello. I'm Claire. This is my niece, Georgie.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm from Gloucester, and she's from Stockport.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10A picture of him is being sent into space
0:01:10 > 0:01:12to show any intelligent life out there
0:01:12 > 0:01:14what intelligent life here looks like.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hello. Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Now, two returning pairs from that last show.- Yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We've got Sean and Paddy on podium two -
0:01:27 > 0:01:29got knocked out in Round Two -
0:01:29 > 0:01:30and Jill and Bill, our rhyming couple.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We love a rhyming couple.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34First rhyming couple since Eve and Steve.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So very, very welcome back.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38But a lovely jackpot round last time.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Paul and Mary got through to it...- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42..and it was various actors from different ballet films,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44so it was Black Swan, Billy Elliot, The Red Shoes,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and Paul had a fantastically good encyclopaedic knowledge
0:01:48 > 0:01:50of Black Swan
0:01:50 > 0:01:51and came up with a fantastic answer.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55And then his mum, just one of her friends was in Billy Elliot,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57so she said her, and they both got a pointless answer.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So that was a lovely combination
0:01:59 > 0:02:02of different types of intelligence there,
0:02:02 > 0:02:03and walked away with the money.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Very good. Deservedly so. Thanks very much.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, Paul and Mary, as you'll have gathered, won the jackpot last time,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11which means we start off with today's jackpot at £1,000.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13There it is.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:22 > 0:02:24at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and no conferring till we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:33 > 0:02:35who's to go first, who's to go second?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Middle initials. Richard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We're going to give you seven clues on each board.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The answers to all of them are people known by
0:02:51 > 0:02:53a first name, a last name and a middle initial.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You just need to give us the most obscure of those.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58There's going to be 14 names to guess at home. Very best of luck.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Let's reveal our first board of seven, and here it comes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04We've got...
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Vickie, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Always tough going on that first podium, isn't it?- Yes!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05It's lovely to have you here.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What do you do, Vickie, down in Cobham?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I'm the assistant cemetery superintendent at Epsom Cemetery.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Right. How long have you done that for?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I've been at Epsom Cemetery for about two years.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I see. So, and, Vickie, what do you do when you're not at the cemetery?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Erm...we like going to the cinema, watching films...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- ..things like that. - OK. Very good indeed.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Now, Vickie, what would you like to go for on this board?- Ergh...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK. Not brilliant. There's two I definitely know -
0:04:32 > 0:04:36one I'm pretty sure on, but it would be a gamble.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Erm...I might play safe.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41The Tarantino actor, Samuel L Jackson.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Samuel L Jackson, says Vickie. Let's see if that's right,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47let's see how many of our 100 people said Samuel L Jackson.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50It's right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- 31. Not bad.- No.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58APPLAUSE Not too safe.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well played, Vickie. Yeah, he was 46 when Pulp Fiction was released.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05He's gone on... By some measures, he's gone on
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- to be the highest grossing actor of all time.- Wow.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Of all time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Certain people disagree, but there are measures by which
0:05:11 > 0:05:14he is the highest grossing movie actor in history.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Good going.- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- What does the L stand for? - It stands for Leroy.- Leroy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Samuel Leroy Jackson. - Samuel Leroy Jackson.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- OK. Paddy, welcome back.- Hello.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Paddy, remind us what you do.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I'm a writer based in Liverpool at the minute, yeah.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- And what are you writing at the moment?- Erm...
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Different bits and pieces,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36but maybe after this I'll write a...game show play...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- A game show play. - I'll get you to appear in it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40You see, that would be good. That would be...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I mean, cos this is kind of a three-act play, isn't it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Me and Sean could star in it.- Yes!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well, let's hope a bit more than you did last time.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48LAUGHTER Paddy, what are your interests
0:05:48 > 0:05:49aside from writing?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- I suppose writing is an interest, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I play in a band with Sean
0:05:53 > 0:05:57and we're...we're going...doing gigs around the country,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59and we're going to Barcelona, playing a gig next month
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- or the month after...- That's going to be fun.- ..which'll be good.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Very good indeed. OK, now, Paddy,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06what are you going to go for on our board of middle initials?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07There's a few I could guess on,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10but I'm going to go for the kind of safest option at the minute,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and I'm going to go to for the president who was assassinated,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15which is JF Kennedy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18OK. JF Kennedy. JF Kennedy. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:2863. APPLAUSE
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, that puts Vickie in the clear.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3263 for you, though. Quite high.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That really is a safe option, yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Better than the last time we asked a question like that,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39when me asked who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963
0:06:39 > 0:06:41and someone said JR Ewing.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44LAUGHTER
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Thanks very much.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Now, Jill.- Hello. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Thank you.- Here from Norfolk. What do you do, Jill?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Well, I do Scottish dancing and bowling which...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Not together?! That could be lethal. Absolutely...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- How often do you do your Scottish dancing, Jill?- Twice a week.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02See, that's good. Keeps you fit, I should think.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Yes, yes.- Very good. - And we just have...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What evenings do you do it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12So you've barely got time to get over
0:07:12 > 0:07:13your blisters from the night before.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- We don't bother to take the shoes off.- No, I shouldn't.- No.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- You just dance through.- Yes. - Dance on through, Jill.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Very good. What would you like to go for on our board here?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Well, I was going to go for JFK, but...
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I'm going to go for the quiz show host
0:07:29 > 0:07:31who, I hope, is William G Stewart.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- William G Stewart, says Jill.- Yes. - Let's see if that's right,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37let's see how many of our 100 people said William G Stewart.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46That's a very good answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Look at that. 7.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Very well done indeed, Jill. APPLAUSE
0:07:50 > 0:07:517.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54See, that's the thing -
0:07:54 > 0:07:57you would've gone for John F Kennedy until you were forced to...
0:07:57 > 0:07:58And obviously you know William G Stewart,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01you know it's the right answer, but as soon as those lights are on,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02it plays tricks with the mind.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- William Gladstone Stewart. - Hmm. Eminent names.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- What's your middle name? - Henry Fenwick - I've got two.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, yeah. Is Fenwick, I presume, like a family...
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- ..surname name?- It is, yeah. - That's nice.- Yeah. Thank you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Georgie.- Hi.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Lovely to have you here. From Stockport.- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21What do you do, Georgie?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'm currently at university in Preston,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and I'm doing policing and criminal investigation.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- That's a fun course, isn't it? - Yeah, it is.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- I mean, so that's a three-year course, is it?- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- So, just into my third year. - And that's...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I mean, that's fairly vocational, isn't it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I imagine not many people go on to that
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- and work in the City, for example, do they?- No, no, it is quite...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42But, I mean, you could get any job with it, I suppose -
0:08:42 > 0:08:44it doesn't have to be a police officer.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But I'm guessing you'd like to be a police officer, wouldn't you?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Something related to the police, working in the police,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- but not necessarily a police officer.- OK.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Are there any sort of new areas of crime
0:08:52 > 0:08:54that you're thinking you'd like to specialise in?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Sorry, not as criminal, you understand. I mean on the...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Well, I know all the, you know, tips and tricks.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Erm...well, cybercrime's really sort of fashionable now,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06so that's probably...that's where all the jobs are mainly.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Yes, of course. Absolutely.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Georgie, what you do when you're not working at university?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I play cricket.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Yeah, I'm a captain of my local ladies' team.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Do you bat or bowl or both?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Oh, I'm definitely a bowler. - A bowler.- Yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I'd like to bat, but it doesn't happen. Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Very good. Now, Georgie, this board is all yours.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Do you want to talk us through it? Maybe fill in some of the blanks.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Definitely not. The only two I knew have gone.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I'm just going to have to have a real guess
0:09:37 > 0:09:42and go with The Simpsons and Matt E...Grossning.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Matt E... It's one of those weird names.- Yeah.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- "Graining" is how you're meant to pronounce it.- Yeah, I'm not sure...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Matt E Groening, you're going to say. Matt E Groening.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Let's see if it's right,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53let's see how many of our 100 people said Matt E Groening.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Oops.- I'm sorry.- I knew it wouldn't be right.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- A tough board, actually...- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02..once the low hanging fruit's been picked.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That scores you 100 points, I'm afraid, Georgie.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Unlucky there on podium four. Let's go through this board.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Can you get the rest of this board?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10You could probably guess most of these.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- The science-fiction writer? - Arthur C Clarke.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, Arthur Charles Clarke. 24 points.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The singer. Any female singer with a middle initial?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Mary J Blige.- Mary J Blige! Oh, I should've got that.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Mary J Blige.- Yeah. - Would've scored you 13.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The writer and producer of The Simpsons, As Good As It Gets,
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Terms of Endearment...?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- James L Brooks.- Yep. James Lawrence Brooks. 2 points for that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- And the journalist? - Hunter S Thompson.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Hunter S Thompson. Hunter Stockton Thompson. 10 points for that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39So, James Lawrence Brooks, best answer on that board with 2 points.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Jill, very well done. Look at that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:477 points for Jill and Bill.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Yes, we'll have no repetition of last time
0:10:50 > 0:10:51with this sort of early exit nonsense.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Then up to 31, where we find Vickie and Steve.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Good score there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:5763, Paddy and Sean, and Georgie and Claire
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- on 100.- Sorry.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- So, Claire, we need a nice low score from you.- I'll try.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03But you'll have first dibs on the new board -
0:11:03 > 0:11:05let's hope there's something there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Don't be tempted to go for anything too easy - that's what we've learnt.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19We've got...
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Claire, welcome.- Yes. Hello. - Very good to have you here.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- And you're here from Gloucester. - I am.- What do you do in Gloucester?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm a communications manager
0:12:24 > 0:12:26for a charity that supports rural communities.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Very good. What a fantastic job to do.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now, Claire, what you do for fun when you're not doing that?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- For fun? Ooh, I like to read a lot, eat biscuits.- Yes!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Sometimes at the same time. - Sometimes biscuits have writing on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Yeah, that's true. - Those Nice ones do.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I've recently taken up ceramics, which has been a bit of a disaster.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I thought I might be good, but I'm not.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Maybe it takes time, though.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Maybe it's not something you can be brilliant at overnight.- No.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Everybody else has made a lovely bird,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and I've made a lump of clay with a beak.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:12:56 > 0:12:59But maybe that's what lovely birds actually... Oh, I don't know.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- No, I'm not sure I can... - It's not lovely.- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Well, maybe put something on a wheel - what about that?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07We haven't gone near the wheel yet.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm not good enough to get anywhere near a wheel.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Maybe that's where your strengths lie, you know?- Possibly.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You'll put them all to shame when you're onto the wheel.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Anyway, Claire, you're the high scorers,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- so we need a low score from you at this point.- OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Just to point out, though,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Jill managed to find a 7 score on the last board,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25so if you could find something nice and low like that,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27you could be very much in the running for Round Two.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Well...I think it's a hard board.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'm going to go for the author of Three Men In A Boat,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- which is Jerome K Jerome. - Jerome K Jerome, says Claire.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38No red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41but let's see how far down the column we get with Jerome K Jerome.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's a good answer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Very well done indeed. 15. APPLAUSE
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Just what we needed from you, Claire.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- 115 is your total. - Well played, Claire,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and you never know - there might be another 100 out there as well.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- The K stands for Klapka.- Klapka?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- That's a nice name, isn't it? - That's a good name, isn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Jerome Klapka Jerome.- Klapka.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Excellent. Thank you, Richard.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Bill, welcome back.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Now, remind us what you do, Bill.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I bowl and I do Scottish country dancing along with my wife.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- I also make lace.- You make lace? - I make lace.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- How long have you been making lace for?- About three years.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's something I picked up... - And tell us how you do that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well, little lines... You use bobbins.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28But what's your raw material?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Thread...- OK.- And...- Oh, I see. So...- ..wound onto bobbins.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36But a particular kind of thread or any sort of normal thread?
0:14:36 > 0:14:37You can use cotton, silk, linen.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41But it's wound onto bobbins, and you make...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And you move the bobbins around and, lo and behold, lace appears.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- And do you do...just a sort of pattern?- It's more weaving.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49How long does it take you to make a sort of, I don't know,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51sort of lace thing that sort of size?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52It depends how quickly you go,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but at the size you're talking about, probably about two years.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It takes a long time.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59That's quite a lot of episodes of Pointless, isn't it,
0:14:59 > 0:15:00to be sitting through.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Now, Bill, you are through to the next round no matter what you score
0:15:04 > 0:15:08thanks to Jill's exceptionally astute answering in the first pass.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What are you going to go for on this board?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, I share the view this looks difficult,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and I was going to go with Jerome K Jerome.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think the author of the 1968 novel
0:15:17 > 0:15:18is Philip K Dick.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Philip K Dick, says Bill.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22No red line - you're already through.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Let's see how many people said Philip K Dick.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27It is right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:3511. APPLAUSE
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Good answer. Taking your total up to 18 -
0:15:37 > 0:15:39the lowest total of the round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Great answer, Bill. Very well played.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Of course, that novel forms the basis for Blade Runner,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and his K stands for Kindred.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Philip Kindred Dick.- Yes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Every one of those names interesting.- Yes.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Every one of those we could talk about for sometime.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Let's do that later. LAUGHTER
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Thank you, Richard.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Now, Sean.- Yes. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Remind us what you do, Sean. - I'm a waiter in a restaurant.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- What sort of restaurant is it? - Indian street food.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Indian street food restaurant.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Now, tell us about your band with Paddy.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What sort of music do you play?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Sort of a kind of lo-fi sort of chamber pop sort of...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Chamber pop?- Yeah.- That sounds...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- That's dangerously close to chamber pot, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- LAUGHTER - What's the name of the band?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- A Lovely War.- A Lovely War.- Yeah.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26A Lovely War. OK.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- Lo-fi chamber pop.- Yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I've never heard chamber pop before. Have you?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Yeah, it's a bit like Gregorian thrash.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- LAUGHTER - Yeah.- Chamber pop.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Sounds like something you'd hear live from the Wigmore Hall
0:16:36 > 0:16:38at lunchtime on Radio 3. Ah...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- It's not that, is it, though? - Not really, no.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Give us some of your song titles to give Xander a better idea of...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47There's one called Maxine, We're Alive.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Maxi and We're Alive? - Maxine, We're Alive.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- One called Augusta Leigh.- Augusta...
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- These are good names. I like that.- Look it up.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK. Now, you're on 63,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00the high scorers at the moment are Claire and Georgie on 115,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02so 51 or less gets you into the next round.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, I was going to say Philip K Dick,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and the only two I know are probably going to be quite high,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12but I'm going to say Michael J Fox...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- for Marty McFly. - Michael J Fox. OK. Michael J Fox.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Here's your red line - you have to get below that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Let's see if you can with Michael J Fox.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26You've done it. Very well done.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Good answer. 29. APPLAUSE
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Takes your total up to 92.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Well played, Sean, and his J doesn't stand for anything at all.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It was to differentiate himself from another Michael Fox.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41His name is Michael Andrew Fox.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Thank you, Richard.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Steve, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Steve?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm a crematorium attendant.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Right. In the same...
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Obviously, same industry as Vickie, but not the same...?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Vickie's at Epsom.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- You're at a cemetery, and you're at a crematorium.- Yeah.- I see.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Did you meet through your...through the overlap...- No.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03..in the great Venn diagram of your two jobs?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- LAUGHTER - No.- No?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Interesting.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And what do you do as a hobby, Steve?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11What interests you aside from the crematorium?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Well, I hasten to say I play golf - I attend.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- You attend golf?- Yeah. - Sometimes holding a club?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Sometimes, yeah. Never very good.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Just kind of... We're kind of like the Red Arrows -
0:18:24 > 0:18:26we all start and we all finish together,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29but in between we're nowhere near each other.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30See, that's fun, though.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You've all got different tales to tell
0:18:32 > 0:18:33when you meet at the end of the day.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35There you are on 31.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38The high scorers are still Claire and Georgie on 115.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Do you fancy talking through the board at all?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's not the easiest, is it, this board?
0:18:42 > 0:18:47The only one I'm really probably sure on is US president,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49which is George W Bush.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- That is what you're going to go for? - It is, yeah.- George W Bush.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, you have to score 83 or less.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Nice high red line.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's a sort of politics question,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01so our 100 aren't always reliable on those questions,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02so who knows where it'll end up.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05George W Bush - will it get Steve below the red line?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09It will. There we are.
0:19:12 > 0:19:1433.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16APPLAUSE 64 is your total.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Well played, Steve. Safely through. Let's go through the rest of these.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You won't know the one at the top so I won't force you to do that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Do you know the producer and director?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Cecil B DeMille.- Cecil B DeMille. - Indeed.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Would've scored you 9 points.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Now, do you know the American comedian?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You do know him. It's a brilliant comic.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's Reginald D Hunter.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Oh, God, of course. - Something really worth catching
0:19:40 > 0:19:42if you haven't seen it. 10 points for that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43And the top answer was a pointless answer.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Very well done if you said Mary Meagher. Mary Meagher.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Would've scored you nothing at all.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And her middle name is Terstegge.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Terstegge?- Yeah.- There we go.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Lovely name.- It's a great name. - Mm.- Terstegge.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Excellent. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, we're at the end of our first round,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but I'm sorry to say our aunt-and-niece combination
0:20:02 > 0:20:04on the fourth podium are our high scorers.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05You're not way ahead, though.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Not that far ahead at all, Claire and Georgie.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13But, yes, people were rather better with that...that second board.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Some tough answers that people managed to truffle out there,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18which means we have to say goodbye. We'll see you again next time.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We look forward to that very much.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- In the meantime, thanks very much, Claire and Georgie.- Thank you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:28But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, welcome to Round Two, everyone. Lovely to have you here.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You will have noticed that, as happens on Pointless,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41it's all gone a little bit smaller. We've lost one of our pairs.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43But very well done, particularly to Jill and Bill
0:20:43 > 0:20:48for rhyming lowest individual score, lowest combined score - very good.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Musicals. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58who's going to go second?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14ABBA singles in Mamma Mia. Richard.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yeah, we're looking for any song which was in
0:21:16 > 0:21:19the original London cast recording of Mamma Mia, please,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21that was also a UK Top 40 hit for ABBA.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23So any song on the original cast recording
0:21:23 > 0:21:25that was also a UK Top 40 hit for ABBA.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27We won't accept Mamma Mia. In the interest of fairness,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I should also point out that Waterloo,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31although it's very famously in the film,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33was not in that original cast recording.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Very best of luck.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39OK. So, Steve, Steve. A fan of musicals?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Kind of. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:42 > 0:21:45A fan of Mamma Mia? How many times have you been to see it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Once... Twice, I think, on video. - Oh, there you are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm going to say Winner Takes It All.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53The Winner Takes It All, says Steve.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Hardly sure if that's even the words of an ABBA song, but we'll see.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So...The Winner Takes It All.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Is it right? How many people said it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10- 25.- Wow.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13APPLAUSE
0:22:13 > 0:22:1525 for The Winner Takes It All.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah, a good answer from a man pretending not to be an ABBA fan.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Well played.- Thank you very much.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Now, Paddy.- This is a bit of a disaster for me.- Yes, yeah...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25We'll take the preamble as said, shall we?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I only really know chamber pop, and so...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- LAUGHTER - But...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You know every single lyric to every single song in Mamma Mia.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'm going to go...the one I think is correct,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36and I'm going to go for Dancing Queen.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Dancing Queen, says Paddy. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41let's see how many of our 100 people said Dancing Queen.
0:22:47 > 0:22:4935. Not bad. APPLAUSE
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Not bad at all.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Number one for six weeks in 1976, Dancing Queen.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Interestingly about ABBA, genuinely, listening to the songs now,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- they have not aged at all, some of those songs.- No.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- It's extraordinary. - Isn't that extraordinary? Yeah.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Excellent. Thank you. Now, Jill, Jill.- Yes.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Are you...? Now, I saw you...I saw you go down like this.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I wasn't sure if that was with sheer euphoria
0:23:14 > 0:23:16that we'd finally come up with a subject so close to your heart
0:23:16 > 0:23:18or if it was despair.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It was despair.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I have seen the film, and for the life of me,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- I can't think of any of the songs in it.- OK.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'm going to have to make one up. Erm...
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Love Me, Please. - Love Me, Please, says Jill. OK.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Well, let's see if that's right,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- let's see how many of our 100 people said Love Me, Please.- No. I'm sorry.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Sorry, Jill...- What a surprise(!)
0:23:44 > 0:23:45..to put you on the spot like that,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and I'm sure you will know lots of the right answers,
0:23:48 > 0:23:49but I'm afraid that is a wrong one.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Nice amalgam of the first two Beatles number ones.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yes, Love Me Do and Please Please Me.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- It's also a very polite song as well, isn't it?- Yeah!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Love Me, PLEASE.- Love me, please. - Not Love Me Do - Love Me, Please.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'd like to think it's Love Me, comma, Please.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Love Me, Please.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Thank you... Very best. - LAUGHTER
0:24:06 > 0:24:09There we are. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:24:11 > 0:24:1325, the best score of the pass, Steve.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Well done. Steve and Vickie looking good.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Then 35, Paddy and Sean, then 100 for Jill and Bill.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Now, Bill, who knows what happens?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23We've got a chamber pop-ist here
0:24:23 > 0:24:25who might well, just for the sake of credibility,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27pretend he doesn't know anything about ABBA.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29So there might be 100 there - you never know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Bill, we need a low score.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32We're going to come back down the line now.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:37 > 0:24:42OK. So, Bill, yes, any ABBA song from the musical Mamma Mia
0:24:42 > 0:24:45that has been a Top 40 hit for ABBA.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Let's try Fernando.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Fernando, says Bill.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Let's see how many people said Fernando.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Ooh!
0:24:58 > 0:24:59OK, well, there we are. That's decisive.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01That scores you 100 points,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03takes your total up to 200.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I hope Benny and Bjorn aren't watching,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08and the makers of the film as well. You both watched it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yeah, not in Mamma Mia, I'm afraid, although it is an ABBA song.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Now, Sean...- Yes. - Listen, great news.- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- It doesn't matter what you score.- Yeah!
0:25:17 > 0:25:18You're still through.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21But, who knows, you might have a good answer there, Sean.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Erm...I think it's called...Honey Honey.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- "I think it's called..."- I don't know if it was a Top 40 single...
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Listen, we'll find out. Honey Honey.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32No red line for you - you're already through.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Let's see how many people said Honey Honey.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Oh, no.- Oh!
0:25:38 > 0:25:39I'm afraid not. Scores you 100 points.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Takes your total up to 135.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Honey Honey.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Yeah, Honey Honey not a Top 40 hit, I'm afraid, for ABBA.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48This is going very well, isn't it(?)
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Isn't it(?) Is it not(?) LAUGHTER
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Now, Vickie...- Yes. - OK, there you are on 25.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Really doesn't matter what you score -
0:25:55 > 0:25:57you're through, quite possibly as our low scorers,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59into the head-to-head round.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I'm toying with several answers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05You've got Chiquitita, Voulez-Vous, Money, Money, Money...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08..are the three that I'm thinking of. Erm...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- I'll say Voulez-Vous. - Voulez-Vous, says Vickie.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16No red line for you - you're already through.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's see how many people said Voulez-Vous.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Not bad at all.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Look at that. 13. Well done. APPLAUSE
0:26:29 > 0:26:31The best score of the round by quite a way,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33taking your total up to 38.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Making it look easy on podium one there, Vickie. Very well played.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39There's no pointless answers at all. I'll go through the lowest scorers.
0:26:39 > 0:26:421 point each for Under Attack and One Of Us,
0:26:42 > 0:26:442 points for I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.
0:26:44 > 0:26:475 points for I Have A Dream, 6 for Lay All Your Love On Me,
0:26:47 > 0:26:507 for Chiquitita - so it would've been a very good answer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:529 for Knowing Me, Knowing You.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54You'd have got 10 for Does Your Mother Know,
0:26:54 > 0:26:5610 also for Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
0:26:56 > 0:26:5911 for Take Your Chance On Me, SOS and The Name Of The Game -
0:26:59 > 0:27:00all of those scored 11.
0:27:00 > 0:27:0312 for Thank You For The Music, 13 for Super Trouper,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06and Money, Money, Money would've scored you 16,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and we've heard all of the other answers.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, at the end of our second round, I'm so sorry,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14it is Jill and Bill who we have to say goodbye to
0:27:14 > 0:27:15with their high score of 200.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's been wonderful having you on both shows. I'm sorry you
0:27:18 > 0:27:19never went beyond Round Two, though.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22ALEXANDER SIGHS Jill, that was painful, wasn't it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- It was very painful, yes. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, thanks for playing, Jill and Bill.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- Lovely to have you on.- Thank you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31APPLAUSE
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But, for the remaining two pairs, is now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Very well done, Vickie and Steve, Sean and Paddy,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:27:45 > 0:27:48which currently stands, still, at £1,000.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Well, you know the deal here -
0:27:49 > 0:27:51you can start conferring before you give your answers,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Vickie and Steve, well done -
0:27:55 > 0:27:58the only pair to get both answers right in the ABBA round,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01so that was... You can hold your heads up high for that.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03And, Sean and Paddy, well done, cos in the break between the rounds,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06we listened to A Lovely War, to one of your tracks -
0:28:06 > 0:28:07it was lovely. Fabulous.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Anyway, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- TV Game Shows, hey? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26We're going to show you a series of images now
0:28:26 > 0:28:29which are visual clues to the names of five TV game shows.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Can you identify the most obscure?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34These are always fun, these rounds.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they come.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37We've got...
0:29:00 > 0:29:04There we are. Five visual clues to game shows.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Vickie and Steve, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Feel free to confer.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Countdown is B.- Yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- The Price Is Right is C.- Yeah.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14QI is D.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Let's go...let's go Treasure Hunt.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I think we'll go for E, please,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21and we think that's Treasure Hunt.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Treasure Hunt, say Vickie and Steve. Treasure Hunt.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Now, Sean and Paddy, the board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28So, we know D, which is QI.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Yeah. C is The Price Is Right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32A is Eggheads.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33So we're thinking either
0:29:33 > 0:29:35The Price Is Right or Eggheads.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Do you reckon? I reckon...
0:29:36 > 0:29:37- We should go for C.- ..C.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40We're going to go for C, The Price Is Right.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42So, we have Treasure Hunt and we have The Price Is Right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Vickie and Steve said Treasure Hunt.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:5530.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58APPLAUSE
0:29:58 > 0:29:5930 for Treasure Hunt.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Now then, Sean and Paddy have gone for The Price Is Right.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Let's see if that's right for C, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09It's right.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Look at that. HE CHUCKLES
0:30:15 > 0:30:17The Price Is Right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Katie Price scoring less than Jeremy Hunt - what about that?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23And it means, Sean and Paddy, after one question, you're up one-nil.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Two good answers there.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27There's one answer on the board that would've beaten both of them
0:30:27 > 0:30:28which we'll get to - it's B, of course.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Now, A is Eggheads - it's the biggest scorer.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Would've scored you 63.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36And D, of course, is QI.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I'm glad we're getting full use out of that queue picture.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42We've had that before, haven't we? 56 for that. Yep.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Now, B is the best answer on the board. Do you know B?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Countdown.- Countdown. Yeah.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Very well played if you got that.
0:30:48 > 0:30:4919 points.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52When it was coming up, I was thinking..."Dracula Arrow?"
0:30:52 > 0:30:55LAUGHTER
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Thank you very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Now, Vickie and Steve, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02so best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- It concerns cattle. Richard. - Nothing wrong with that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09We're going to show you five clues to facts about cattle.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You just need to give us the most obscure answer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come. We've got...
0:31:35 > 0:31:36I'll read those one last time.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56There we are. Sean and Paddy will go first.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- THEY WHISPER:- Shall we go for the Spain...- Yeah.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01..running of the bulls?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03We're going to say the country
0:32:03 > 0:32:06that hosts San Fermin's running of the bulls is Spain.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Spain, say Sean and Paddy. Spain.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Now then, Vickie and Steve.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Shall we do Ermintrude in The Magic Roundabout?- Yeah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16We're going to say Ermintrude from The Magic Roundabout.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Ermintrude from The Magic Roundabout.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19So, we have Spain and Ermintrude.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Sean and Paddy said Spain. Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:2859.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31APPLAUSE
0:32:31 > 0:32:3259 for Spain.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Vickie and Steve said Ermintrude. Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Very well done.
0:32:42 > 0:32:4443 for Ermintrude.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46APPLAUSE
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Which means, Vickie and Steve, you're back in the game.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Very well played.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Now, the former Conservative Agricultural Minister was...?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- John Selwyn Gummer. - John Selwyn Gummer - or John Gummer.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Would've scored you 6. The star sign...is...?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Is Taurus.- Taurus, yeah.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Would've scored you 87.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- And the Buckinghamshire town? - I don't know.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Is Milton Keynes.- Oh, it's Milton Keynes.- Milton Keynes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Would've scored you 26.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14OK, here comes your third question.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Whoever wins this, goes through to the final
0:33:16 > 0:33:17and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Best of luck to both pairs, and it concerns...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24One-word anagrams of chemical elements. Richard.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Anagrams and chemical elements in the same question -
0:33:26 > 0:33:28some people won't believe their luck.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- LAUGHTER - We're going to show you five.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Just need to give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Very, very best of luck to both teams.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Vickie and Steve, you'll go first.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Radon.- Silver.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Radon. Barium.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Rhodium is the top one.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Is that the one you want to go for? - I think so.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06OK, we're going to say humidor is rhodium.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Rhodium, say Vickie and Steve.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Now, Sean and Paddy, over to you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Ergh...
0:34:12 > 0:34:15We know that silver's one, but I think that'll be really high.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17So shall we make one up?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Well, that one you think that might be one.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Radon.- OK, you're going to make up radon...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Radon.- ..for adorn.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Well, we're going to go radon. - OK, radon.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28So, we have rhodium and we have radon.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Vickie and Steve said rhodium.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Let's see how may people said rhodium.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Oh, well done. That's good.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4218 for rhodium. Good.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Sean and Paddy, meanwhile, have gone for radon for adorn.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:5745.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00APPLAUSE
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Which means very well done, Vickie and Steve.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Brilliant work, Vicki and Steve. Very well played.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Chemistry textbooks will forever show that today was the day
0:35:10 > 0:35:12that Sean and Paddy discovered radon.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14LAUGHTER
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Now, you were right about silver.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18You were right to avoid it as well - it is a big scorer.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Would've scored you 74. Barium underneath that.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25That would've scored you 31.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28But the best answer on the board is the bottom one, ringtone.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Do you know that?- No!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32It is... You'll kick yourself.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- ..nitrogen.- Oh, Lordy!
0:35:35 > 0:35:379 points. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:41 > 0:35:42I'm so sorry, Sean and Paddy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Much, much stronger performance this time around from last time,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48but just, yeah, I'm afraid...
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Might you have gotten any of those lower scoring anagrams?
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Nitrogen maybe.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- When you see them, you're like, "Oh..." But probably not.- No.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Sean and Paddy might be the first people to be on Pointless
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- and then come back on Celebrity Pointless.- Exactly.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Mightn't they?- When A Lovely War suddenly takes off.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Well, listen, it's been great having you on.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07We'll look forward to you on the Celebrity round.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09In the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Sean and Paddy.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12APPLAUSE
0:36:12 > 0:36:15But for Vickie and Steve, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Congratulations, Vickie and Steve.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23You have fought off all the competition,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Now is your chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:33 > 0:36:37and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Well, it started off Round Two,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41where you were the only couple to get correct answers
0:36:41 > 0:36:42in the ABBA round,
0:36:42 > 0:36:46then you came from behind in the head-to-head to win it 2-1.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I mean, very strong performance - very strong.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- Something film related. - Yeah. Possibly sport.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56OK. Film or sport.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Well, you know what happens. We put four up on the board.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00They don't always look nice first time you see them,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02but usually hiding behind them
0:37:02 > 0:37:04are the three slightly kinder subsections.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08But anyway, we will see. Today's selection looks like this.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10We've got...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19I'd either go cats or Spielberg.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- That's our options.- Yeah.- Spielberg?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Go on, then. Yeah?- Yeah. Spielberg World War II films.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Spielberg World War II films, it is. - OK, very best of luck.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Here's your three questions.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33We're looking for any actor who's received a credit
0:37:33 > 0:37:36according to IMDB in any of the following three films, please.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Very, very best of luck.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48OK. Now, as always, you've got up to a minute
0:37:48 > 0:37:50to come up with three answers.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:51 > 0:37:53is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Your time starts now.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01OK. Schindler's List, it's obvious,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03cos you've got Liam Neeson,
0:38:03 > 0:38:04and you've got...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09..Ralph Fiennes, but they're too obvious.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Saving Private Ryan. - You've got Ted Danson.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Oh, yeah, Ted Danson would be a good one. Erm...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Who's that...? Who's the guy...?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20He's played bit parts in Friends.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22He's a bit of
0:38:22 > 0:38:23a geeky character. Erm...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Oh, I can't think what his name is.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28I can picture him.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Erm, wasn't Casey Affleck in Saving Private Ryan?- Yeah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Pretty sure he was in.- He was, yeah. - Casey Affleck. Ted Danson.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I can't think of anybody from Empire Of The Sun.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- No. I can...- I can see the film.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's too long ago that I saw that.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Schindler's List. I'm trying
0:38:47 > 0:38:49to think of some of those other...
0:38:49 > 0:38:5010 seconds left.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Ben...what's-his-name. Ben... - Kingsley?- Yeah.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- It's going to be really high, but... - But...that's what we've got.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Yep.- Yeah.- OK.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00OK, that's your time up.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Let's have your three answers,
0:39:02 > 0:39:04and if you can say which categories you're answering in.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07So, from Schindler's List, we've got Ben Kingsley.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Ben Kingsley.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11And then, from Saving Private Ryan,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- we've got Ted Danson...- Ted Danson. - ..and Casey Affleck.- Casey Affleck.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Of those, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Probably Casey Affleck. - Casey Affleck. Let's put that last.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Least likely to be pointless? - Ben...Kingsley.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Ben Kingsley goes first.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27and here they are. We've got...
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Well, three good answers there.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Let's hope one of those will win that jackpot for you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40What would you do with your £1,000 if you won it?
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Vickie, to you first.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I'd take my daughter to EuroDisney.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Steve?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I think I'd go camel racing.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50LAUGHTER
0:39:50 > 0:39:53In whatever it is, 950 episodes of Pointless,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- no-one's yet said that - that's great.- You know what?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58There's no way you'll beat a camel - they're pretty quick.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- LAUGHTER - Yeah.- OK.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03So, yes, in the first instance,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06we were looking for actors from Schindler's List.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08You've gone for Ben Kingsley.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14So, for £1,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ben Kingsley.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18It's right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Ben Kingsley now taking us
0:40:25 > 0:40:26down through the teens...
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Not quite into single figures.
0:40:28 > 0:40:3112 for Ben Kingsley. APPLAUSE
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- That was lower than I thought. - It was lower than I thought.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36So, unfortunately not a pointless answer.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Your next answer was Ted Danson.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44In this case we were looking for actors from Saving Private Ryan.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It has to be pointless, again, for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49So, for £1,000, let's see how many people said Ted Danson.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53It's also right.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Your first answer was Ben Kingsley
0:40:55 > 0:40:57which took us down to 12.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Ted Danson now taking us down
0:40:58 > 0:40:59through the 20s,
0:40:59 > 0:41:02into the teens, into single figures.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Passing 12 there. Down it goes.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Still going down.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You got it! Very well done indeed.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Fabulous. Very well done indeed. - Thank you so much.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- SHE CHUCKLES - Wow. That was amazing.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Well done, you. Ted Danson was a pointless answer,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24which means you are going home with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25- Superb.- Ooh!
0:41:25 > 0:41:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Terrific stuff, Vickie and Steve. Very well played.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Yeah, plays Captain Hamill in that film.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37The Friends actor you were thinking of was Giovanni Ribisi...
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- That's him.- ..who would've scored you 1 point.- Oh!
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Casey Affleck - not in the film,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43so would've been an incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45So, well done, Ted Danson - is all I have to say.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Let's take a look at the pointless answers for the different films.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Schindler's List, you could've had...
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Everybody in that film was pointless
0:41:56 > 0:41:59other than Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Every single other answer was pointless.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at Empire Of The Sun.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Burt Kwouk.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Pointless favourite at the moment, Burt - keeps popping up.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Everyone pointless there apart from Christian Bale, the biggest scorer,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19John Malkovich, Nigel Havers, Miranda Richardson,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Ben Stiller and Leslie Phillips -
0:42:21 > 0:42:23everyone else pointless.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And finally, Saving Private Ryan.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Andrew Scott, of course, is Moriarty in Sherlock,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad, Paul Giamatti is a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33There's Ted Danson.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Everyone pointless in that other than Tom Hanks, Matt Damon,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Vin Diesel, Jeremy Davies, Ian Porter, Adam Goldberg,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Giovanni Ribisi, Tom Sizemore and Nathan Fillion.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and congratulations, Vickie and Steve in the studio.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Vickie and Steve,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Very well done indeed.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:00 > 0:43:01to the test on Pointless.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
