0:00:16 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Dan from York, and this is my mate, Andy, from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41My name's Sarah. This is my mum, Anne,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and we're from near Kirby Lonsdale in South Cumbria.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Jit.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is my friend Bepin, and we're from north-west London.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Liz. This is my very good friend Julie,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we're from Brighton.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02A warm welcome to you all.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:04 > 0:01:06as it goes along, so that just leaves one more person
0:01:06 > 0:01:07for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08I predict a very polite,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12tautly reasoned and exquisitely administered riot.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- APPLAUSE - Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Good afternoon to you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Three returning pairs from the last show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We still haven't quite got over a couple of shows ago,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28giving away £11,000.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29- No. A bit giddy.- Quite...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Still giddy.- Still a bit, Hee-hee!- Still giddy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But, amongst us, we have someone who's given us a pointless answer.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Anne, in the last show, gave us a pointless answer
0:01:37 > 0:01:40with antepenultimate, Words Ending M-A-T-E.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41It was very, very impressive.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And Bepin and Jit got through to our head-to-head last time,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47so they've got to start as early favourites, I suspect,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- for today's show. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, Ian and Suzanne didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08APPLAUSE
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, I know you all know this, but I'm going to say it anyway -
0:02:11 > 0:02:12the pair with the highest score
0:02:12 > 0:02:14at the end of each round
0:02:14 > 0:02:15will be eliminated.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Books And Plays.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Can you all decide, in your pairs,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Works Of Literature And Their Subtitles, Richard.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44On each board, we're going to show you seven subtitles
0:02:44 > 0:02:46or alternate titles of famous books or plays,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48alongside their author as well.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50We just need you to name the book or play, please.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, at home,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- so very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So, let's reveal our first board of seven subtitles, and here they are.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01We have got...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'll read those one last time.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Dan, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36What do you do up in York, Dan?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm a lecturer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- At the university?- Yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41What do you lecture in?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Social policy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And how long have you been lecturing?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Three and a bit years.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And what do you do when you're not lecturing?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51A bit of football,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54not to a very high standard, but a bit of football, a bit of jogging.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56But we've got two young children,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- so it's mostly parenting. - Mostly parenting, absolutely.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Now, Dan, how do you find this board?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It should be easy, and it's not.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It should be easy, you're absolutely right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And I was about to say,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I'm going to play it safe,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12so I'm going to go for The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and I'm going to go...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17..The Adventures Of Peter Pan.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20The Adventures Of Peter Pan, says Dan. The Adventures Of Peter Pan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Let's see if that's right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27It's right.
0:04:29 > 0:04:3359. APPLAUSE
0:04:33 > 0:04:3559 for Peter Pan.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Yeah, Peter Pan.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39First premiered as a play in 1904.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40There we are.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Released as a novel later, Peter And Wendy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44There we are again.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Thank you very much, Richard.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Sarah, welcome back.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Remind us what you do, Sarah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I'm an English literature student at Newcastle University.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- You've just finished your first year.- Yeah.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59No, no, we'll come to the board in a moment, don't you worry.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Apart from English literature,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04what do you like getting up to at university?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I like going to gigs,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09going to the pub,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11going to festivals.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12That sort of stuff, really.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14That kind of caper.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15OK, now, Sarah...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19..this board of these plays and these books.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20It's not actually too bad.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I think I'm going to play kind of safe,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26cos I did this book last semester,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and say Frankenstein
0:05:28 > 0:05:30for The Modern Prometheus.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32OK, Frankenstein, says Sarah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38It's right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:4443. APPLAUSE
0:05:46 > 0:05:4843.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Well played, Sarah. First published in 1818.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Students have taken to saying "semester".
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I was just thinking that as well.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54We've had that a few times recently.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57For us, it was just Ferris Bueller's Day Off or something, wasn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah.- These days, actually what they call it.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I've only heard that in terms of pregnancy before.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- What, semester?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, no, trimester.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I do beg your pardon. LAUGHTER
0:06:06 > 0:06:08That's the one.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Do you know what? I've said this before, I'm going to say it again.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Your poor wife.- Oh, I know.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I know.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, so, semester - apparently that's...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Well, that's good, we can keep up with that.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Thank you, Richard. Now, Jit.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Hi.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Jit, welcome back.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Remind us what you do, Jit.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm an accountant, so I work for a digital media agency in London.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- What do they do?- Digital marketing.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Digital marketing.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- You're none the wiser, are you? - No, absolutely no idea.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Digital marketing, though.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38They're fun accounts to run, aren't they?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40More fun than others, I would say.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yes, I'd say. Now, when you're not accounting, Jit,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44what do you get up to?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Yeah, so I'm a big sports fan,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49so I love to play golf and follow cricket as much as I can...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and a bit of film now and again, yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK, now, this board...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56of our subtitles.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58How are you feeling about it?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Not very good.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01So, I...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04..am going to have to go for the obvious one,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I think it's obvious anyway.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So, it's There And Back Again - The Lord Of The Rings.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10The Lord Of The Rings, says Jit, for There And Back Again,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Let's see if that's right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said, The Lord Of The Rings.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- No.- It's The Hobbit.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It is not The Lord Of The Rings, I'm afraid, Jit.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23That scores you 100 points.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Yeah, sorry, Jit, but at least it turns out
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- you didn't go for the obvious one.- Yeah, exactly.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER
0:07:29 > 0:07:30There we are.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Thanks very much indeed. Now, Julie, welcome back.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Hi there.- It was Round One.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36I don't think it was any fault of yours.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Two perfectly good answers we had in our word round,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- but they were just high-scorers. - They were, weren't they?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I've thought of another one when it was a bit late.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45What's decimate?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Hold on a minute.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50That was on the last... You can't do that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51- LAUGHTER - Oh, sorry.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53That's absolutely outrageous.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Oh, I'm so sorry.- I can't believe it. Would have scored 11 points.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Really?- Oh.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It would have been great if it scored 10, wouldn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01- Yeah.- Oh, wouldn't that have been lovely?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04That is the longest anyone's taken to answer a question
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- in the history of Pointless. - LAUGHTER
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- And you go through, what about that?- Thanks.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11But into last show's Round Two.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Now, Julie, this board is all yours.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15If you wanted to, you could talk us through it
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and fill in all those blanks.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I can't do all of them.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Well, I hope I can do some of them.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I think A Romance Of Exmoor
0:08:23 > 0:08:24might be Lorna Doone.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28A Study Of Provincial Life,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30is that Mill On The floss?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32The Whale...
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Moby-Dick.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I think I'm going to go for the top one
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and hope I'm right with Lorna Doone.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Lorna Doone, says Julie.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said, Lorna Doone.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's right. Very well done, Julie.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, 43 is our low score at this point,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52you whizz past that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Down, you go, to 10.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:57That's the score you were after with decimate, of course...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and you get it with Lorna Doone.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yeah, very well played, Julie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm looking forward to the answer you give us next time as well.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Now, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08You are absolutely right about The Whale.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11That is Moby-Dick...
0:09:11 > 0:09:12and that would have scored 41 points.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But let's clear up There And Back Again. Not Lord of the Rings.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18You won't be the only person to have made that mistake, I can assure you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- It was...- The Hobbit.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- The Hobbit.- Yep, 20 points for that.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Study Of Provincial Life is not Mill On The Floss.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26- Middlemarch.- Middlemarch.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's the best answer on the board as well,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30would have scored you 3 points.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32And A Trivial Comedy For Serious People?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I would say The Importance Of Being Earnest as a punt.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35You would be right. Yep.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Would score you 16 points.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through our first round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, Julie and Liz, look at that,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45our low scorers there on the far podium.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Very well done indeed, lovely low-scoring from you, Julie.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Then up to 43, where we find Sarah and Anne.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Then up to 59, Dan and Andy.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53And then, oh, Jit and Bepin,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm sorry, 100 points.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That's high. Bepin, find a low score on the next board,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02truffle it out and let's hope it's low enough to keep you in the game.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12OK, let's put seven more subtitles up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14We've got...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'll read all of those one last time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Liz, welcome back.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Hello.- Also here from Brighton.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Now, you and Julie met on a writing course.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- We did.- And you said you've been friends for a very long time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02We had, but we lost touch and then we met again in the pub.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03She recognised me.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Oh, that's nice. Had you fallen out over a piece of writing?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- No, no.- Maybe a short story.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11A thinly disguised version of Julie had appeared.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No, nothing like that.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Has Julie come back to the group?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yes. Different group, but...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- That's good.- So, we run each other's stories past each other, don't we?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22That's nice, nice to have an editor before it goes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Do you ever have to read them out to the rest of the group?- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26That's quite nervy, isn't it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27The worst part was
0:11:27 > 0:11:30reading other people's and trying not to laugh.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Oh, now, Liz, that's unfair.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It is unkind. Sorry.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Now, Liz, what about this board?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38You're currently riding high there with only 10.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Do you want to keep this up with a nice low score here?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I do know some of them.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I don't really want to risk
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the ones I'm not sure about.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I think the ones I know mostly are children's books, but...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Well, I'll go for one that isn't a children's book, The Moor Of Venice,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59which I think is Otello.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Otello, or Othello, says Liz.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Nice opera pronunciation there.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Othello. Here is your red line, lovely and high.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08If you can get below that with Othello,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09you are through to the next round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said, Othello.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15You're through. Very well done.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21That's a great answer. APPLAUSE
0:12:21 > 0:12:2417, takes your total up to 27.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25The lowest total of the round,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I can say, right now.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Well played, Liz. Very impressive. Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It was first performed in 1604, Othello.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Thank you, Richard.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Now, Bepin, you're the high-scorers.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36We need a low score from you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Remind us what you do, Bepin.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I'm a chartered accountant.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Are you also an accountant for a digital marketing company?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm not, no. For a property company.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh, that's OK, property company's quite fun as well. Isn't it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's not quite as fun as digital marketing but...
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Not that glamorous.- Which region of London do you work in?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Quite central. West End.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Sort of near Leicester Square.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- I see, quite a nice place to be. - Yeah, very nice.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Yeah, very good.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And what are your interests outside the world of accounting?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I play a bit of golf,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04I like my films...
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Reading every now and again.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10OK. Have you read any of these books?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I have read one of them a long time ago as a physics graduate,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16but I'm not sure of the title -
0:13:16 > 0:13:18but I'm going to have a guess.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19The Stephen Hawking one,
0:13:19 > 0:13:20A Brief History Of Time.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22A Brief History Of Time, says Bepin.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24No red line for you, you're the high-scorers.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said, A Brief History Of Time.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It's right.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39There we are, 16, good answer. APPLAUSE
0:13:39 > 0:13:41116. I mean, you could feasibly
0:13:41 > 0:13:43have kept yourself in the game with that, Bepin.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Yeah, well played.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47A book that attempts to explain all sorts of things -
0:13:47 > 0:13:49the big bang, the black hole - to non-specialist readers.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Thank you, Richard.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Now then, Anne.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53- Hello.- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Now, Anne, last time you were here,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58you were wearing a beautiful rainbow-coloured jersey.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59I was, yes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02That was somehow symbolic because your parish is the Rainbow Parish.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03It is known as the Rainbow Parish.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Cos it's got seven or actually eight teams...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It started off with seven churches in the group.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09It's got eight now,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11but we still call it the Rainbow Parish.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Very good indeed. And you are here from Kirby Lonsdale...- Yep.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15..where you are a curate.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17How long have you been the curate there?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Just over a year.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Oh, I see, so very recent.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Yes.- Do you ever preach?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Oh, yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Will Pointless be featuring as...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27As the beginning...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You know, you always have to start off a sermon
0:14:29 > 0:14:31with something quite funny.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33When I was training, I was on placement in a church
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and the only sermon I preached in that placement church,
0:14:36 > 0:14:37I did actually mention Pointless.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- There you are.- But that was three or four years ago.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I wonder what sort of other allegory you can draw out of Pointless.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We'll have to see what kind of show it is.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- It sort of depends if Anne wins or not.- Well, exactly.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I suspect if she doesn't win,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51there's going to be no sermon at all.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Probably learn a lot about how to deal with failure
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- as well as how to deal with success.- See? There we are.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57There we are.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Anyway, Anne, what would you like to go for?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You're on 43, if you can score 72 or less...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK. I think I know most of them.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Again, most of them are, sort of, from my childhood,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12but I will also go for the one that's not a children's story
0:15:12 > 0:15:16and The Sacred And Profane Memories Of Captain Charles Ryder -
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Brideshead Revisited.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Brideshead Revisited, says Anne. Here is your red line.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Nice and high. Get below that with Brideshead Revisisted,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26you are into Round Two. Let's see how many people said it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31And you are through to the next round.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well done.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34That's a good answer.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Look at that. Down it goes to five. APPLAUSE
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Not just a good answer, the best answer of the round so far.
0:15:40 > 0:15:4148 is your total.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Yeah, very famously, of course,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44it was the Downton Abbey of its time,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46the TV series of Brideshead Revisited.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Wasn't it? Yes.- From 1981.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Yeah. What a piece of work.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Oh, wasn't he?- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52- I didn't watch it.- No.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54LAUGHTER
0:15:54 > 0:15:55But, Grr!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You and I were both 11.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yeah, exactly, so I think we've got an excuse.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Yeah.- To me, it's like A Brief History Of Time.- Exactly.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I know it exists...- That wasn't me saying it was before our time,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07you understand, that wasn't me contravening the...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Ooh, sounded a bit like... - ..the cardinal rule.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- We wouldn't have watched it.- No, I was just saying we were in bed.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- I mean... Yes, we were in bed. - LAUGHTER
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Really? In front of a curate?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- Erm, Andy.- Hello.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Andy, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yes, our only new couple, in fact.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Andy, what do you do?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'm an anti-doping scientist.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Oh, now THAT'S fun. - We haven't had one of those before.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Never.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38In 936 shows,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40we've never had an anti-doping scientist.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43In which areas do you anti-dope?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- It's all sports. So, all the...- All sports.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Football, rugby, athletes. - Oh, I see, but it's humans,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49it's not racehorses or anything like that?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- No, it's not dogs, it's just humans.- I see. OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Goodness me. So, your job is to turn up and...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- ring people's doorbells? - No, I work in a lab.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Oh, you work in a lab?- Yes. - So, you get brought the samples.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- I get brought all the samples.- OK.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04So, do you add chemicals and see what happens?
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Or do you dip bits or paper in
0:17:05 > 0:17:07and see what happens?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09We take the sample and then put it in an instrument
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- and it tells us whether... - A centrifuge?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Yeah, we use a centrifuge, yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And you can see, at a glance, what has...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Pretty much, yeah. - ..what's been going on.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20If the centrifuge goes faster, you know there's drugs in the sample.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Now, then, Andy...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26..you're on 59, you have to score 56 or less to stay with us.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29That board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Right, well...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I'm not 100% on any of them.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I think the top one, at a guess,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36would be...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38maybe Lord Of The Flies.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And then The Autobiography Of A Horse...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Black Beauty. So, I'll go with that one. Black Beauty.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You're going to go with Black Beauty.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48OK. Here's your red line.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51If you can get below that with Black Beauty, you're into Round Two.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54How many of our 100 people said, Black Beauty?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It's right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well done. Oh, look at that. APPLAUSE
0:18:02 > 0:18:04You needed 56, you got 51.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Your total is 110.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Very well done. - Yeah, very well done.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It sold over 50 million copies, Black Beauty.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Isn't that amazing? Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15It's the only one you knew,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18cos you were wrong about The Children's Crusade.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- That is, of course...- Slaughterhouse Five.- ..Slaughterhouse Five.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Lord Of The Flies is William Golding. Four points for that.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Louisa M Alcott, lots of people would have got.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Little Women.- Little Women.
0:18:28 > 0:18:3026. And The Magical Car?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And that would have scored you 38,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36so the best answer on the board is Slaughterhouse Five.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Very well played if you got that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40So, at the end of our first round,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42the pair we've got to say goodbye to...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44They were in the head-to-head last time, Bepin and Jit.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'm so sorry. Round One, this time, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Been great having you on the show.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Thank you so much for playing. Bepin and Jit.- Thanks.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53APPLAUSE
0:18:53 > 0:18:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00APPLAUSE
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Well done, everyone. We've made it to Round Two.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04This is very pleasing.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Liz and Julie, our two writers,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09our lowest scoring team there, so well done.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And Anne, our lowest scoring individual.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, very well done. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Celebrity Marriages.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22who's going to go second?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And whoever's going first, please step to the podium.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Husbands and wives, Richard.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yeah, we're going to show you 12 pictures now,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39on the board, of celebrities.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41We need the name of anyone who has been married
0:19:41 > 0:19:42to one of these 12 people, please.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44So, the full name of anyone who's been married
0:19:44 > 0:19:46to one of these 12 people.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Very best of luck.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK. So, as Richard's just said,
0:19:49 > 0:19:50we're going to put 12 people up on the board.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52They're going to stay for the whole round.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK, let's reveal our 12 people,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and here they come.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58So we're looking for anyone who's been married
0:19:58 > 0:19:59to any one of these people.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02There we go.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Dan...
0:20:06 > 0:20:07we just need a name from you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Don't need to associated it with any of the people there.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12You can just say a name.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well, I think it's quite a tough board.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm going to go with Billie Piper.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Billie Piper, says Dan. Billie Piper.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It's right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3149. APPLAUSE
0:20:31 > 0:20:3349. Not bad.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Yeah, well played.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37She was married to the gentleman on the bottom row,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- second from the right. - Yes, gentleman.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41That gentleman.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I don't think that's what he was referred to as at his wedding.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Do you, the gentleman on the bottom row, second from the right
0:20:47 > 0:20:49take Billie Piper, out of Doctor Who,
0:20:49 > 0:20:50to be your lawfully wedded wife?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52There we are.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK. Now, Anne...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56what would you like to go for?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Hmm.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Not even sure who most of them are.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I would like to go...
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Natasha Kaplinsky.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Natasha Kaplinsky, says Anne.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Let's see if that's right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said, Natasha Kaplinsky.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm sorry, Anne. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and it scores you 100 points.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I am intrigued now, though,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- that Anne knows some celebrity gossip that we don't know.- Yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27LAUGHTER
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Interesting.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Now, Liz...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32we are looking for the husbands or wives
0:21:32 > 0:21:34of any one of these people.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I find this quite difficult
0:21:37 > 0:21:39but I'm going to say Bruce Willis.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Bruce Willis, says Liz. Bruce Willis.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51That's a good answer, Liz.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Very well done indeed. 30 for Bruce Willis.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56APPLAUSE
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well played, Liz. Yeah, he married the lady on the top left...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Mm-hmm.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- ..didn't he?- Very discreet - this, somehow - isn't it?- It really is.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06The lady on the top left.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Yeah.- Ahem.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09THEY CLEAR THEIR THROATS
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Yep. Yes, he did. - Of course, Bruce Willis,
0:22:11 > 0:22:12You know who he went on to marry?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Natasha Kaplinsky. - LAUGHTER
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Of course. One forgets that.- Yep.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17We're halfway through the round.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2130, Liz, once again, over there,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24looking very strong, Liz and Julie. Lovely low-scoring there.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Then up to 49, where we find Dan and Andy,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and then Anne and Sarah
0:22:28 > 0:22:30on 100 at the moment.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Sarah, I hope you've got a nice, low-scoring answer.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35We might need it from you to keep you in the game.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We're going to go back down the line now.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Now, Julie.- Hi.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Julie, we are looking for husbands
0:22:45 > 0:22:47or wives
0:22:47 > 0:22:49of any of these people.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, I'm hoping I recognise her
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and I'm going to say, John Lloyd.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57John Lloyd, says Julie.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59John Lloyd. You want to be scoring 69.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Here is your red line. Get below that, you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04How many people said, John Lloyd?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Very well done indeed.
0:23:13 > 0:23:1510 for John Lloyd. APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Another fabulous low score over there, taking your total up to 40.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Very good, Julie and Liz, aren't they?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Very good.- Really, really good. Yes, you did recognise her,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26the lady in the middle row.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27First one.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Married to John Lloyd,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30if you know what I mean.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Say, literally, no more.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Sarah, you're the high-scorers,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39so we need something low-scoring from you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I don't know...
0:23:43 > 0:23:44I think...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Is Kid Rock an acceptable answer
0:23:46 > 0:23:48or does it have to be his actual name?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Kid Rock.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I think that sounds acceptable.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52That's a...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It sounds good to me.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Richard's just made his sounds good to me face...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58so I think it's good. Let's see.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Kid Rock, is that right?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01No red line for you as you're the high-scorers
0:24:01 > 0:24:04but how many people said, Kid Rock? Is it right?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Five.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19That's exactly what we needed from you, Sarah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Nice, low score. 105 is your total.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22You could still be in the game.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Very good answer, Sarah. Well played.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Yeah, he was married to number six.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Number six.- Number six.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Kid Rock,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30or Kid Rochester, to give him his official...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well, Robert Ritchie is his real name.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Bob Ritchie.- Rob Ritchie. - The Bobster.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38The Bobster...Kid.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Andy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Now, you're on 49.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42The high-scorers on 105,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Sarah and Anne,
0:24:44 > 0:24:45so 55 is your target.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49OK. I know a couple, I think.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53It's just whether I want to risk it or not.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56I know Demi Moore
0:24:56 > 0:24:58was married to Ashton Kutcher.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Angelina Jolie's got Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04but I think I'm going to go...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Patsy Kensit -
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I think that's her, anyway - and say Liam Gallagher.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Liam Gallagher.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I was thinking... That could have gone any one of seven or eight ways.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16And you went...
0:25:16 > 0:25:17So, you went Liam Gallagher.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19OK, there we are. There's your red line.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said, Liam Gallagher.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27It's right!
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Well done. You're through.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3221... APPLAUSE
0:25:32 > 0:25:36..taking your total, very neatly, up to 70.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yeah, her third husband. Well played, Andy.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Now, let's take a look.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- We can now exclusively... - We can mention names now!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44..reveal who some of these people are. That is Demi Moore.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Ashton Kutcher, we didn't have. 24 points for that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Freddy Moore was a pointless answer for her.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Next to her, it is Lisa Marie Presley...- Lisa Marie Presley.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54..who was married to some famous people.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Michael Jackson would have scored you 9. Nicolas Cage, 2.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Her other husbands were pointless.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I don't mean anything by that, they just were.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Martin Scorsese. Been married five times, Martin Scorsese.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Including to Isabella Rossellini.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09All five of his partners were pointless answers,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11so well done if you said any of them.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Next to him is a gentleman called...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Will Smith.- ..Will Smith...- Yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17..and Jada Pinkett would have scored you 25.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And Sheree Zampino
0:26:19 > 0:26:20was a pointless answer,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22married to Will Smith.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Chris Evert there, on the second row.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26John Lloyd, we've already had,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Greg Norman would have scored you 5 points.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Andy Mill was a pointless answer.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31There's Pamela Anderson.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Tommy Lee would have scored you 14.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Rick Salomon was a pointless answer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Well done if you said him.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Angelina Jolie.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Brad Pitt, 55.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Billy Bob Thornton, 50.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Johnny Lee Miller, 9.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Then we have Britney Spears.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Kevin Federline, 13.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Jason Alexander, 2.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Patsy Kensit, there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The ones we haven't heard, Jim Kerr would have scored you 10
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and pointless answers for Dan Donovan and Jeremy Healy.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well done if you said either of those.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Then it's James Cameron, he's been married five times as well.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- What is it with these guys?- Really?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Kathryn Bigelow would have scored you 2 points, Linda Hamilton 1
0:27:02 > 0:27:04and nothing for the other three.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Chris Evans, we've had Billy Piper,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Carol McGiffin would have scored you 2 -
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and Natasha, his current wife, was a pointless answer.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Well done if you said that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And Uma Thurman.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Ethan Hawke would have scored you 6
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and Gary Oldman would have scored you 2.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22So, at the end of our second-round, I'm so sorry to say,
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Sarah and Anne,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26this is how it's going to end in your sermon, I'm afraid.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Round Two and...
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- How to deal with failure.- No.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33But not really, you can take away your brilliant low-scoring.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35We've had some lovely low-scoring from you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And the lowest score in last round so, yes, carry that away with you.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41but it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Thank you so much. Sarah and Anne. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53APPLAUSE
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Very, very well done.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Liz, Julie, Dan and Andy,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:58 > 0:27:59and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01which currently stands at....
0:28:03 > 0:28:08APPLAUSE
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, we've reached the, sort of, safe point, I think.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I always think, when you get to the head-to-head,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14from here on in you can play as a team.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You can chat before you give your answer.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You can pool your knowledge, which is very nice.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So, in this round, as you know, the first pair to win two questions
0:28:21 > 0:28:23will be playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both of you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Let's play it. APPLAUSE
0:28:29 > 0:28:31OK. Here comes your first question
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and it concerns...
0:28:36 > 0:28:37- Chips.- It's about time, isn't it?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Yeah, we're going to show you five clues, now, to facts about chips.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Facts about chips.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49I just wonder, which of so many facts about chips we've gone for.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- We'll find out, won't we? - To narrow it down to five.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Amazing, isn't it?- OK, let's reveal our five clues to chips.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Here they are.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Liz and Julie, you are our low scorers so you will go first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Well, at the risk of being wrong,
0:29:39 > 0:29:44I think the author of the 1934 novella is James Hilton.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46James Hilton, say Liz and Julie.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Now, Dan and Andy, it's over to you.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Talk us through that board.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54The top one is Only Fools And Horses...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57..and the bottom one is Catchphrase...
0:29:58 > 0:30:01..and I don't know the other two.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I think we're going to go with Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Only Fools And Horses, the top one.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07OK, Rock And Chips.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10So, Liz and Julie said James Hilton was the author of Goodbye Mr Chips.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15It's right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Very well done! APPLAUSE
0:30:24 > 0:30:27James Hilton, scoring you 7 there.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28You just haven't put a foot wrong,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Liz and Julie, this whole show.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Now, Dan and Andy, meanwhile,
0:30:32 > 0:30:36have gone for Rock And Chips as the prequel to Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Let's see how many people agree with that.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42It's right.
0:30:45 > 0:30:4842. APPLAUSE
0:30:48 > 0:30:5042. Not a bad answer,
0:30:50 > 0:30:51but James Hilton, a superb answer.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Liz and Julie, well done. After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Yeah, James Hilton, best answer on the board.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Very, very well played.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Now, this is absolutely in our...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03our childhoods. When oven chips were launched.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- It's got to be the '70s. - What decade do you think?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Yeah, it was 1979 they were introduced.
0:31:08 > 0:31:091979. So '70s is the answer.
0:31:09 > 0:31:1217 points. The singer.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Lovely Kirsty MacColl. - Kirsty MacColl.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Of course it is.
0:31:15 > 0:31:1624 points for that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19And Catchphrase, of course, at the bottom.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21What's Mr Chips doing?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23And that would have scored you
0:31:23 > 0:31:2555 points. Big scorer.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That was our chips question.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32That was fun. Now, Dan and Andy, here comes our second question.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37You get to answer it first, though, so it's slightly in your favour.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39And it is all about, our second question...
0:31:44 > 0:31:48National Portrait Gallery Portraits Of Characters In Wolf Hall, Richard.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Yeah, we're going to show you five portraits, now,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52from the National Portrait Gallery.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54They're all characters who are in Wolf Hall.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Can you identify them, please? - Now, this is fun.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57OK, let's reveal our five portraits
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and here they are.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23There we are.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Five portraits from the National Portrait Gallery,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29of characters from the novel Wolf Hall.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Dan and Andy, you will go first.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43OK, so we'll go for D, which is Thomas Cranmer.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Thomas Cranmer, say Dan and Andy.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Thomas Cranmer.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Now, Liz and Julie,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50that board is all yours.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Talk us through it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Oh, goodness.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We think A is Anne Boleyn.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00C is Henry VIII.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02E...? Catherine...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- ..of Aragon, is it?- What about B?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- B. What do you think? - Cardinal Wolsey.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Not sure. Shall we play it safe?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Go for the one that you're sure of.- Yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- E, Catherine of Aragon. - Catherine of Aragon.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15So, we have...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Thomas Cranmer and Catherine of Aragon.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Now, Dan and Andy are saying that D is Thomas Cranmer.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Let's see if that's right.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26No, I'm sorry.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30That's an incorrect answer
0:33:30 > 0:33:31which means, Liz and Julie,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34you merely have to be correct with your answer
0:33:34 > 0:33:35of Catherine of Aragon, for E,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38to win this point and to go through to the final.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Let's see if you're right.
0:33:49 > 0:33:5318! APPLAUSE
0:33:53 > 0:33:54But, most importantly, it's correct.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and it means, Liz and Julie, after only two questions,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Yeah, very well played.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Yeah, Cranmer was the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- That is Thomas Cromwell... - Oh!- Yes!- ..I'm afraid.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Would have scored you 11 points as well.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Would have won you the point.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Well done, at home, if you said that.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13A, you're quite right, is Anne Boleyn.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I like the way she's throwing us there by wearing B.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I mean... LAUGHTER
0:34:18 > 0:34:20So, I thought it was Barbara.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2244 points for that.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24B is the best answer on the board.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Thomas More.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26It is Thomas More, yeah.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Would have scored you 8 points.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31And C is, unmistakably, Damian Lewis.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Henry VIII, with 87 points.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:34:41 > 0:34:43is Dan and Andy. Well, it's good news, really,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46because it means we get to see you again next time.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Had you gone straight to the final, that would have been it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better then.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52We'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Meantime, thanks very much, Dan and Andy.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- APPLAUSE - Good luck.- Good luck in the final.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But, for Liz and Julie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Well, what about that?
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Liz and Julie, you have seen off all the competition
0:35:09 > 0:35:11and you have gone right ahead and won our Pointless trophy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13So, very well done.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20- Very excited.- Good.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Not nearly as excited as I am
0:35:22 > 0:35:25because you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32APPLAUSE
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You've been our low scorers every single round.
0:35:35 > 0:35:372-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39I mean, there's no arguing with that kind of impetus.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42You're on course, surely, to take that jackpot home.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45What would you like to see come up on the board?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Well... English literature,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48but it's already been, so...
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Well, could come back.- Anagrams.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51- Words.- Oh, no.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Not anagrams.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- OK, NOT anagrams. - LAUGHTER
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh, I don't know. Woody Allen films.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00OK. Fingers crossed.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Let's hope there's something you like up here.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Today's selection reads like this.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05We've got...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I'd be inclined to do the bottom one, but what do you think?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- What do you think?- I don't know any. It has to... It'll be down to you.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Oh, well in that case... - I've not a scooby.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23What do you think? What about winter?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25That's more general, isn't it?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Try winter.- All right, we'll try winter.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29You're going to go for winter.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30- Yes.- All right. Good luck. Richard.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, we're looking for any of the following three things.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34We are looking for...
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Anyone credited with a voice performance in Frozen, please,
0:36:37 > 0:36:38according to IMDB.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40The English-language version of that.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42We are looking for any country
0:36:42 > 0:36:44that's ever won an Winter Olympic medal
0:36:44 > 0:36:45since 1924,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48or we are looking for any named characters
0:36:48 > 0:36:51in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Very, very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:56 > 0:36:57to come up with three answers.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59All you need to win that jackpot, Liz and Julie,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02is for just one of your answers to the pointless.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Are you ready?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Yes.- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Your time starts now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Winter Olympics.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13There was that film that was made, wasn't there?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14What was it? Oh, the bobsleigh!
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Yeah!- Jamaica. - Where was it, Jamaica?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Was it?- Yeah, but did they win?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Oh. Don't know.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22What about Winter's Tale?
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I think Perdita.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I think there's a character called Perdita.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yep, OK.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30What about Frozen? Come on, you've watched it enough.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- No, I haven't.- Not you personally, you with your granddaughter.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34- I've never seen it.- She's not here.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Winter Olympics...
0:37:36 > 0:37:37I would have thought Norway.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39OK, we'll play for Norway, it's quite...
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Yeah.- Try Norway?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- You...- Oh, hang on, we don't want to do it yet.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- We want to think about it for a few seconds.- OK.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- And Perdita in Winter's Tale?- Oh.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Someone is pursued by a bear, but I don't know...
0:37:50 > 0:37:54What about another Winter Olympics one?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Oh, well, you could say Jamaica.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58There, we'll try that. Shall we try that?
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Jamaica, Perdita and Norway.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- OK.- OK.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- You sure you're happy?- Not really.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05No.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- There we go.- OK. Well, your time is now up.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Let's have your three answers, and if you could say
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- which category you are answering in, that would be great.- All right.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Well, Winter Olympic medal-winning countries could be...
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Norway and Jamaica.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Norway and Jamaica. OK, we've got those two.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Yeah. And the character,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I know someone exited, pursued by a bear
0:38:23 > 0:38:25but I don't know who it was,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- but I think Perdita.- Perdita.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Jamaica.- Jamaica.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Let's go for Jamaica.- Jamaica. - OK, we'll put Jamaica last.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36OK, Jamaica goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39The other one, Norway. OK, Norway, Perdita, Jamaica.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, well, let's put this answers up on the board in that order then,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and here they are. We've got...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Three answers on the board, there.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53One of those could easily be pointless
0:38:53 > 0:38:55and could win you that jackpot of £2,250.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57That would be a nice, tidy sum to take back to Brighton.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Would you do with that, Liz?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Well, I'd like to say I'd treat everyone to a holiday,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04but I'd probably get the damp done in my house.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Well, that'd be like a holiday...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- in its way!- It would.- Yeah.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09- Yes.- Julie?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12I shall probably treat the family to a nice meal out.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- We've got a nice restaurant in Brighton, so...- Lovely.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Well, very best of luck.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Your first answer was Norway.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21In this case, we were looking for medal-winning countries
0:39:21 > 0:39:23at the Winter Olympics. Let's find out if Norway's right.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Let's find out how many people said it.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27If it's pointless, it wins you £2,250.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31It's right.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Now, all we want is for Norway to go all the way down to zero
0:39:35 > 0:39:37and you will leave here with £2,250.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39It's going down through the 30s,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41down through the... 26. OK
0:39:41 > 0:39:4426. APPLAUSE
0:39:44 > 0:39:45That's not a bad score
0:39:45 > 0:39:48but, sadly, it's not a pointless answer.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51So, we have to move on to your next answer, which was Perdita.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54In this case, we are looking for characters from The Winter's Tale.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55If it's right,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59and if it's pointless, it will win you £2,250.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00How many people said, Perdita?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- It is right.- Well done.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Well, your first answer, Norway, took us all the way down to 26.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Perdita...
0:40:10 > 0:40:11taking us down... Passes 26.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Down to the teens, into single figures.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Yes, into single... Down it goes, still going down.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Oh, 2! 2!
0:40:17 > 0:40:19That's a great answer. APPLAUSE
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Look at that.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Oh, dear.- Now that's more like it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27We're moving into absolutely the right...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29The right sort of territory there with Perdita.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31One more shot at today's jackpot,
0:40:31 > 0:40:33you have gone for Jamaica.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35In this case, we were looking for
0:40:35 > 0:40:38countries that have won medals at the Winter Olympics.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41If this is right and if this is pointless,
0:40:41 > 0:40:42it wins you £2,250.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44How many people said Jamaica?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Oh, no! Bad luck.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Oh, I'm sorry!
0:40:51 > 0:40:55APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, two very good answers there.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Perdita, taking us just within touching distance of that jackpot.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03I'm afraid you just didn't manage to find
0:41:03 > 0:41:05that pointless answer you needed.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08So, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250...
0:41:08 > 0:41:10That will rollover on to the next show.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12..but you have been brilliant today.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Well, we've had a lovely time. - Had a super day.- Lovely time.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Well, it's been lovely to have you here,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- and you get to take home a Pointless trophy.- Oh, yes.- Very excited.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25Very well done, Liz and Julie. APPLAUSE
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Yeah, that Jamaican team famously didn't finish at all. I suspect...
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Oh, dear.- I suspect if they won, they would have scored 100 anyway.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36But let's start with the cast of Frozen, though.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Everyone apart from Idina Menzel,
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Kristen Bell, Josh Gad,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Jennifer Lee and Jonathan Groff.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Everyone else was a pointless answer,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53so well done if you said anyone else from Frozen.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's take a look at those Winter Olympic medal-winning countries.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57All of these are pointless.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02You could have had Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Estonia, Kazakhstan,
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07North Korea, Romania, Slovakia,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09West Germany and Yugoslavia.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12All of those were pointless answers. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15And the characters in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Antigonus is the one who was, Exited, pursued by a bear.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Autolycus or... Auto-licious would be a good name for a rapper,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24- wouldn't it?- Auto-licious.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Mmm, Auto-licious.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Florizel and Polixenes,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30also a pointless answer.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Everyone is pointless apart
0:42:31 > 0:42:33from Perdita, Leontes, Hermione,
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Amelia and Dionne.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Very well done at home if you got a pointless answer.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39And please take our trophy and our regards
0:42:39 > 0:42:41back to beautiful city of Brighton and Hove.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- Thanks very much.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Liz and Julie,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- but it's been fabulous having you on the show.- We had a lovely time!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Thank you. It's been lovely having you here. Liz and Julie.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Wonderful contestants. APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Well, sadly, Liz and Julie didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01when we will be playing for £3,250.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
