0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29This is the show where all the questions have been put
0:00:29 > 0:00:30to 100 people before the show.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:33 > 0:00:35no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41And couple number one?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43My name is Krishnan from Nottingham and this is my best bud,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Joe, from Birmingham. Couple number two?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48My name's Matt and this is my dad, Derek, and we're from Southampton.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51My name's Hollie and I'm from London
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and this is my best friend, Kate, from Hong Kong.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57My name's Corinna, this is my boyfriend, Ben.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm Australian and we live in Bath.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We will find out more about each of you throughout the show,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I wouldn't walk a mile in his shoes,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14mainly cos they are six sizes too big.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hiya!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25A familiar line-up, three returning pairs from the last show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Just one new pair, Joe and Krish.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We keep having single new pairs who are on the first podium,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31which always seems harsh to me. It does.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But there it is, Corinna and Ben on the last podium,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Round One last time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Derek and Matt, Round Two, and our head-to-headers there,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Hollie and Kate.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And it was a good jackpot round, wasn't it?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Dan and Andy,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45it was 20th century US Presidents and they were deciding...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47They had a few good answers, think they had to decide
0:01:47 > 0:01:51between Taft and Coolidge and they went for Taft.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Taft scored them one point and Coolidge would have been
0:01:53 > 0:01:55a pointless answer.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Hmm. Don't pretend to be gutted, any of you. I'm not buying it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Nice little jackpot, three returning pairs, should be a fun show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Should indeed. Thanks, Richard.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Dan and Andy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09as you have gathered, so we add ?1,000 to that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So today's jackpot starts off
0:02:12 > 0:02:14at ?4,250, there we are.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Just remember this,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28to keep your scores as low as you possibly can,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29because the highest-scoring pair
0:02:29 > 0:02:32will be eliminated at the end of each round.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Just remember that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Best of luck to all four pairs,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37our first category this afternoon is People.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41who's going to go second?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Famous Andrews, Richard.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Seven clues on each board to famous people called Andrew or Andy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The most obscure answer is going to get you the fewest points
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and it's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home, so best of luck.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, who are these famous Andrews or Andys?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And here is our first board of seven.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'll read all of those again.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Joe, welcome to Pointless. Tell us all about Joe.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I'm a trainee solicitor from Birmingham.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28I'm into sports, play football, cricket in particular.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Big into fashion as well.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I like to dress to impress.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Very good, just to impress.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Warmth, functionality, not an issue. Exactly. I see, OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Joe has impressed. Well, he's certainly made an impression.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Exactly, there we are. The trainee solicitor thing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50How much longer are you a trainee? Only a couple more months.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51That's good. I qualify in September.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Qualify, fingers crossed, in September or you will qualify?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58It's a time qualification, so provided there isn't some form
0:04:58 > 0:05:01of catastrophe in the next few months, I will be qualified.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04OK, congratulations on that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Now, Joe, what about this board
0:05:06 > 0:05:07of Andys and Andrews?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yeah, I know quite a few of them,
0:05:09 > 0:05:14it's just deciding which one is going to be the most obscure.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19I'm going to go with the England striker signed by West Ham in 2013.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Andy Carroll.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Andy Carroll, says Joe, let's see if that's right
0:05:23 > 0:05:25and how many of our 100 people said Andy Carroll.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Good answer, 28.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Good start to the show, Joe, well done.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42At one point, he was the most expensive English player in history
0:05:42 > 0:05:46when he was sold from Newcastle to Liverpool for 35 million.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Absolute bargain. HE LAUGHS
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Now, Derek, remind us what you do.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm a chef of the army barracks in Tidworth.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So, what time does your day start, Derek?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm the head chef there, so I don't really start
0:06:05 > 0:06:07until about 9, 10 o'clock.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oh, by which time, breakfast has been washed up.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I let them get on with it and I just breeze in. You breeze in?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14And what do you wear?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Do you wear chef's whites or do you wear a uniform?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19No, I wear chef's whites.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Do you have one of those fetching white trilbies?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25No, it's just basically a skull cap that we wear.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26That's a shame.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The white trilbies would be why I would go into cheffing.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Hmm, they would suit you. Very pleasing.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Now, Derek, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I had two answers and he's just taken one of them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42But I'm going to have to go with the top one, the American tennis player.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I think it's Andy Roddick.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Andy Roddick, says Derek.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Let's see if that's right
0:06:49 > 0:06:51and how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55It's right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:5828 is our only score at this point.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Look at that, you've passed Andy Carroll.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Halving the score of Andy Carroll.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Well done, Derek.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09He was only 21 at the time but it was his only Grand Slam win.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Very famously, he lost the final set to Federer at Wimbledon,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14he lost it 16-14.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Held his serve 37 times in a row, which is not bad going.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Very, very good pundit now, Andy Roddick. Thanks, Richard.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Hollie? Hi.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Welcome back to Pointless, good to have you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, head-to-head last time. Yeah! Oh, you did well.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I don't know any of these, so I'm so sorry.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Before you dazzle us with this, remind us what you do.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I'm an actor. You are an actor. Do you work with friends?
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Not at the moment but I'd love to re-collaborate with all the people
0:07:45 > 0:07:48that I went to drama school with and that would be really good.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Have a little project.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54There we are. Now, Hollie, you know some of these. I don't!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56All I know...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I know the songs, I've got them in my head, don't know the name.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03We all know the songs. Yeah!
0:08:03 > 0:08:04There's two actors up there.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I know, on the actor theme, I can't think.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I know he went out with Emma Stone.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'm going to go with the actor who played Spider-Man.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Adam Lambert, I'm so sorry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14You've changed his name to Adam.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, no, it's Andy!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Andy Lambert. Oh, no!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh, Hollie, I'm sorry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Sorry! Well, Adam Lambert. Let's find out.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Adam Lambert, is that right?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What a surprise! What?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Not one of our famous Andys, I'm afraid, Hollie.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I'm sorry, it scores you 100 points.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I've got all these boxes I tick for reasons why
0:08:41 > 0:08:45a particular answer is wrong, and I've run out of boxes for that one.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm so sorry! Oh, dear, oh, dear. Corinna, welcome back.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56We hardly saw you last time. I know. You were off...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00What was the first round? Countries. We had Bermuda, is that right?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Hmm, which isn't a country.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Yes, costly way to find out.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Now, Corinna, remind us what you do?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'm an administrator at the University of Bath
0:09:08 > 0:09:09in the Psychology Department.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12That is right, and you've been doing that for how long? About a year.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And how long have you been over here from Australia? Year and a half.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21I see, OK. Well, this is a slightly international-ish board, I hope.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26It's not too UK-centric. I knew Andy Roddick.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And Prince Andrew, I'm pretty sure is that one,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31but I'm going to go with the bottom one,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34which I sincerely hope is Andrew Marr.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Andrew Marr, good going
0:09:35 > 0:09:37for a year and a half year here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Let's see if that's right
0:09:38 > 0:09:41and how many of our 100 people said Andrew Marr.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Entirely right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well, 14 is our low score,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48you've passed our high score of 100.
0:09:48 > 0:09:4929, there we are.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Good going, Corinna.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Well played, very nice answer.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Let's go through the rest of these.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Of course, the second one down is Prince Andrew.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05That did throw me for a little bit. He would have scored you 58.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07The actor who plays Spider-Man.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Andrew Garfield. Yes. Would have scored you 13.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13The American crooner? Andy Williams.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15That would have scored you 40.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And the best answer on the board... Andrew Scott.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Brilliant performance as Moriarty. 5 points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Very well done if you said that at home.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Thank you very much, halfway through the round,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well done, Derek, the best score of the pass was yours.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Then 28 is where we find Joe and Krish, well done.
0:10:30 > 0:10:3229, Corinna and Ben, well done.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Hollie and Kate, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Adam Lambert, for some reason incorrect.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Anyway, Kate, we'll need a low score from you
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and maybe it'll be low enough and we'll have another disaster
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and you will be with us for Round Two.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I hope so. I'm not hoping for a disaster, obviously, everyone.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52But it'd be nice. We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00We're going to put seven more famous Andrews on the board
0:11:00 > 0:11:01and here they are.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I'm going to read those all one final time.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Ben, welcome back.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Remind us what you do, Ben.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I'm a software engineer in the pensions industry.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That is right, so you're designing programmes, are you?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Yeah, we design them and then help people use the software as well.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And where are you based to do that? In a Bath as well.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Is Bath quite a hub for those sorts of things? It's a hub for pensions.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25That's very tactfully put. Yes, a hub for pensions.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29That's fun, what do you do aside from that? Do a bit of maths.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32For fun? Yes. There you are, you see, it can be fun.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36What kind of maths particularly pleases you?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Same way someone would take books on holiday, I take Calculus One.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42You see, that's fun.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46So actually, doing your software for the pensions industry
0:12:46 > 0:12:48is kind of just play for you, really. Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Just thrilling. Well, Ben, there you are.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I'm sorry we haven't got a board of figures here for you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Let's see how you do, full board there for you to choose from.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59If you happen to score 70 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Think I know a couple of them.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I think I'll go for the cricketer as Andrew Flintoff.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Andrew Flintoff, let's see if that's right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Here's your red lie. Get below this red line with Andrew Flintoff
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and you're through to the next round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's right.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You are through. Oh, just!
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Look at that, 64!
0:13:22 > 0:13:2393 is your total.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Big score for Andrew Flintoff.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Man of the series, of course, when England won the Ashes in 2005.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Now, Kate.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Hi. Kate, now, listen. Well, that's exciting.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37You were nearly overtaken by the podium behind. But not quite.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Not quite. Remind us what you do. I'm an actor as well.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44And how did you and Hollie meet each other? We met at university.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Were you studying acting? Yeah, we met in second year.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49We didn't actually know who each other were,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52even though there were only 30 people in our class.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55But in the second year, you found each other? Yes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58To be fair, Hollie doesn't know any actors, so... No!
0:14:00 > 0:14:01There we are, OK, you're on 100,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04you're the high scorers at the moment.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05At the very least,
0:14:05 > 0:14:10you would need to score less than 13 to be in with a good shout. Yeah.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I know two of them but I don't think they're going to be less than 13.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20I think the lesser-scoring one may be the top one.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21So, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Andrew Lloyd Webber, says Kate.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24No red line for you,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Kate.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32It's right.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh. 52. It's OK!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38152 is your total.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Much more commonly known as Adam Lloyd Webber,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but we will accept Andrew.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Thanks very much.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Now, Matt. Welcome back.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Remind us what you do?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm an architectural assistant in Southampton.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57And what are your hobbies?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Outside of architecture, I enjoy playing football quite a bit,
0:15:00 > 0:15:0211-aside football team.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Bit of Formula One, been to Silverstone,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06like going to movies with my girlfriend.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10When you go on holiday, what do you take with you to read?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Generally, as sad as it sounds... Design books? Yeah. Seriously?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Yeah, I quite like Carlo Scarpa, people like that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22This is very telling. When I go on holiday, I don't take hosting books.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And I know that's apparent. You surprise me.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Oh, anyway.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Matt, you're through, this is good news, doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What would you like to go for on this one?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The only two that I knew have been taken.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41But the former newspaper editor rings in the back of my mind.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm going to say Andrew Wright.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Andrew Wright, says Matt.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50No red line for you and it doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Let's find out if Andrew Wright is right.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00No, I'm afraid not Andrew Wright,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03takes your total up to 114 but you're through anyway.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Sorry, you might be thinking of Matthew Wright,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07but that's not the answer here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Thanks, Richard. Krish, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Good to have you here. What do you do? I'm an accountant.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Whereabouts do you do your accounting? In Nottingham.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18How do you and Joe know each other?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21From university, we met having a shandy on our first day.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Really a shandy?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25My parents are watching. OK, fair enough!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Erm, and where were you at university? Durham.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And how long ago did you leave there? Graduated 2010. I see, OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38What do you get up to, aside from your accounting?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Similarly to everyone else, a lot of sports, I like my football.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Like to watch it more than play, because we're dreadful.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Me and Joe took a trip to Brazil a couple of years ago
0:16:46 > 0:16:49to see England crash out of the World Cup.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Had you planned to go for the entire length of the time?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55No, we knew to set our limitations.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57If something miraculous had happened,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00you'd have just extended your stay? I think so. Very exciting.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You're on 28. Again, doesn't matter what you score,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04you're through to the next round.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Do you feel like talking us through those blank ones,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08see if you can fill any of them in?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Erm, I feared this talking through the board moment
0:17:10 > 0:17:13when I might not know too many.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm going to go for the American artist,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'm going to go for Andy Warhol, I think is the answer for that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22OK, Andy Warhol, let's see if that's right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Andy Warhol.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27No red line for you, obviously, you're already through.
0:17:33 > 0:17:3549, not bad.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Taking your total up to 77.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Well played, Krish. Safe and sound.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Let's fill in this board. I know you'll know the bottom three.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I wonder if you'll know the President.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Let's do the bottom three first to make you look good. OK.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, the newspaper editor? Andrew Neill.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53He would have scored you 19.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55The screenwriter? Is Andrew...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58He has the same name as someone at school with me.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Andrew Davies. Yeah, well done. 8 points for that.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And Erasure? Is Andy Bell.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Andy Bell. That would have scored 28.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Now, the President. What do you think?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm not... It's going to take a long time to think of this.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Andrew Jackson. That would have scored you 13 points.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So, Andrew Davies is the best answer on that board.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20We are at the end of our first round
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and the pair we are saying goodbye to, I'm sorry to say,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24it's Kate and Hollie.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Head-to-head last time! I know. Really. How the mighty fall.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30We're going to go have a big word. Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But Hollie, you knew things on that board. I did, I just blanked.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It's the studio lights, gets to you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38They are very hot today, aren't they?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Particularly bright and hot. Aren't they?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's been a great pleasure having you on both shows.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Thanks for playing, Kate and Hollie. Thank you for having us. Thank you!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Well done, everyone. We've made it to Round Two, very exciting.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Corinna, very well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02You and Ben, good to have you in Round Two, and good low scoring,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04particularly for an Australian to have Andrew Marr,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06which I think is good going.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Derek, lovely low score from you there with Andy Roddick.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Our category for Round Two this afternoon...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's science, can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:16 > 0:19:18who's going to go first and second?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Chemical elements whose first vowel is an I.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yeah, looking for the name of any chemical element
0:19:39 > 0:19:41on the periodic table as of July 2015
0:19:41 > 0:19:43whose first vowel is an I, please.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49I'm asked to point out that by vowel, we mean A, E, I, O and U.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54OK. Krish, when did you stop studying chemistry? 2005.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I see, OK. It's been a while.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I'm going to go for hopefully what is an element.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I'm going to go for nitrogen. Nitrogen.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07OK, I thought you were going to go really left-field there. No!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Nitrogen, says Krish.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said nitrogen.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It is indeed an element.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22There we are, 17.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Not bad.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well done, Krish. Nitrogen is all around us.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Isn't it? Isn't it? There's some. Look at it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Matt. Yes?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Matt? I don't mind this.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Oh, good, good. I'm glad.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Again, doing revision, I kind of had a footballer's name in mind
0:20:48 > 0:20:50which would help me remember this element.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I'm going to go with livermorium.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Livermorium.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Now, that is good revision.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I think, I don't know, let's see if it's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01But if it is right, is good.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said livermorium.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08That is a very good answer, Matt.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12That's got head-to-head written all over it, I think.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Down it goes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's a pointless answer, Matt!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18That adds ?250 to today's jackpot,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21takes the total up to ?4,500.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It scores you nothing
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and earns you massive respect. Very well done.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Very well played, Matt.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Named after the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33But I'm the same as you, Jake Livermore is how I remember it,
0:21:33 > 0:21:34the footballer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40Now, Corinna? This is not that bad a subject, really.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Given I live with a scientist and thoughtfully, they named
0:21:43 > 0:21:46some elements after people from classical mythology,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48which is what I did my degree in. There we are.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52So, I'm going to go with niobium.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Niobium.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Oh, look at that! I love that buzz.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00It's like bees in a bed of lavender.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Niobium.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08It's right.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Do we think we might be adding some more money to our jackpot here?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Oh, 2!
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Corinna, very well done.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Lovely answer there.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Very good answer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25That was named after Javier Niobi, the QPR left back.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But I think that's the first time niobium's ever been given
0:22:30 > 0:22:33as an answer on Pointless. Yes, new one to me.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But, yeah, it comes from, as you say, mythology. Thank you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Nothing, the best score of that pass, Matt. Very well done.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Matt and Derek looking very strong.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Then up to 2 where we find Corinna and Ben.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Then up to 17, Krish and Joe.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Joe, suddenly that 17, which looked rather small to start with,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52is now looking like rather a large score.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Joe, you know what you need to do.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Mentally, get back into that laboratory and see if you can
0:22:57 > 0:22:58find a nice low-scoring answer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, Ben. Remember, we're looking for the names of chemical elements
0:23:08 > 0:23:10whose first vowel is an I.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Now, Ben, of course, a scientist, as Corinna helpfully pointed out,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18reminded us all, before you give your answer.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21And I have a periodic table mug as well.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23What about that?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I think there was a Tottenham left back called Yttri,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31so I'll go for yttrium.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Yttrium, says Ben.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said yttrium.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41If you get below this red line, you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And that's a pointless answer!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That adds another ?250 to today's jackpot,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00takes the total up to ?4,750.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Scores you nothing, leaves your total at 2,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04sees you into the head-to-head. Well done.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, very well played. That's terrific stuff, Ben.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Except it was West Ham, not Tottenham. Ah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Derek, now, how brilliant was Matt, first pass? Yeah. I knew that one.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20But the rest, I don't know. HE LAUGHS
0:24:20 > 0:24:21I'm not very good with the elements.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I'm going to have to play safe.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Silver. Silver, says Derek. Silver.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Here is your red line.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31If you can get below that red line with silver,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32you are through to the next round.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said silver.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Still going down.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Oh, 22!
0:24:44 > 0:24:45That is really not bad.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's made the end of this round
0:24:47 > 0:24:49very exciting, though, Derek.
0:24:49 > 0:24:5122 for silver. Yeah, a lot of pressure on Joe now.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Well played, Derek, and that's, of course, David Silva of Man City.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Thanks very much indeed. Now, Joe, what about that?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02You have to score 4 or less. I know.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04He's left me with a lot of work to do.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07I've got a couple.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I'm not sure they're going to be enough but on the off-chance,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12lithium.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Lithium, says Joe.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said lithium.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19There is your red line. You have to get below that.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Below that, you're home and dry.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Well, it's certainly right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Down it goes.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3620, I'm afraid, Joe,
0:25:36 > 0:25:37our highest score,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39taking your total up to 37.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Really good round, very exciting, that one.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Even better than it sounds,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46because there's only three pointless answers, you've had two of them.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50The only other pointless answer that nobody got was zirconium.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Zirconium was a pointless answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54The next best score for 3 points was bismuth.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Bismuth was a very good answer.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00You would have got 9 for titanium, 11 points for indium and nickel.
0:26:00 > 0:26:0213 for silicon, 15 for tin.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You'd have got 18 for zinc
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and the top three, let's take a look at them.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10They all, unsurprisingly, begin with an I.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21At the end of our second round,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'm sorry to say the pair we're saying goodbye to is Joe and Krish.
0:26:24 > 0:26:2537,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27nothing shameful about that score.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Pretty good low scores there in both passes, but I'm afraid
0:26:30 > 0:26:32it is the highest score, so we will see you again next time.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Look forward to that. Meantime, thanks very much, Joe and Krish.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41But for our remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Many congratulations, Corinna and Ben, Derek and Matt,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:26:52 > 0:26:55for that jackpot, the hugely augmented jackpot
0:26:55 > 0:26:58now standing at ?4,750.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00APPLAUSE
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So, from here on in, it doesn't matter if you grew up in Australia
0:27:06 > 0:27:10cos you can confer with your partner and anything you don't know,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13which I shouldn't think is much, you can be supplemented by them.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14I think it should be incredibly tight
0:27:14 > 0:27:17but best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Here's your first question and it concerns...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30World speed records.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32We're going to show you five pictures now of people
0:27:32 > 0:27:34who've set various different kinds of speed record.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Can you name the most obscure of these, please?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Let's reveal our five record breakers and here they are.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04There we are.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Five people who have set world speed records.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Corinna and Ben, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Do you know C? It's Griffith Joyner.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Go for that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Think we'll go for C, Florence Griffith Joyner.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Florence Griffith Joyner, say Corinna and Ben.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Now, Derek and Matt, talk us through the rest of that board, if you can.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33A is Richard Branson, D is Usain Bolt.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Just trying to think of Campbell, his first name, which I think is E.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42We're just going to have to go for Richard Branson
0:28:42 > 0:28:44because we know that's right.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46You're going to go for A, Richard Branson.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Florence Griffith Joyner is what Corinna and Ben have gone for for C.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Let's see if that's right and how many people said
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Florence Griffith Joyner.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57It's right.
0:29:06 > 0:29:0921, well done, Corinna and Ben.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Now, Derek and Matt meanwhile have said that A is Richard Branson.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Oh-ee! Look at that, 86.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Well done, Corinna and Ben. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Very well played. Funnily enough, E would have won you the point.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32If you'd had to have a guess at a Campbell? Richard. Donald.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35There was Malcolm Campbell as well but that's Donald Campbell.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Would have scored you 17 points.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Well done if you said that one at home.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41The best answer on the board is B,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43it's the first man to achieve supersonic flight
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and it was Chuck Yeager.
0:29:45 > 0:29:474 points for that. Well done if you said it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53And D, as you rightly said, was Usain Bolt. 72 points for him.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55It's so funny, when we wash our dog,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57he looks a bit like Richard Branson does there.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04There we are. Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Here comes your second question.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Best of luck to Derek and Matt
0:30:08 > 0:30:10cos you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12It concerns...
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Christmas dishes, Richard.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Five foods commonly eaten at Christmas now
0:30:18 > 0:30:20but with alternate letters missing.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Can you fill in those gaps, please?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25OK, let's reveal our five Christmas dishes and here they are.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27We've got...
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Derek and Matt, it's over to you.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I should know everything because I'm a chef. You should.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Should but it's picking the right one.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Go brandy butter. Yeah?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01So, we're going to go for brandy butter.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Brandy butter, say Derek and Matt.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Now, Corinna and Ben, talk us through that board.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I think we know all of the others except the fourth one. Yeah.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13So...cranberry sauce?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Or stuffing. I think cranberry sauce probably better. Cranberry sauce.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So, we have brandy butter and you're saying cranberry sauce.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23In the order they were given, we have brandy butter,
0:31:23 > 0:31:26let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Brandy butter scoring you...
0:31:33 > 0:31:34..41!
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Corinna and Ben, meanwhile, have gone for cranberry sauce.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48It's right.
0:31:50 > 0:31:5163 for cranberry sauce.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Well done, Derek and Matt, brandy butter brings you level again.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So, after two questions, it 1-1.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Brandy butter, the best answer on the board as well, so well done.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01It's interesting you don't
0:32:01 > 0:32:02know the fourth one.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Lots of our 100 had a problem
0:32:03 > 0:32:05with that as well. Is it turkey? It's turkey!
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Oh, for heaven's sake! Did you not get that? I couldn't see it either.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13It's funny, isn't it? I was thinking it was TH-something. There it is.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Above that is stuffing.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18That would have scored 86.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20At the bottom, of course, mince pie.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24And that would have scored 73. There we are.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27So, it comes down to a third question,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29as I thought it probably would.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:32:31 > 0:32:32and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34It concerns...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Names or titles with king in them.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41We're going to give you five clues now,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44the answers to all of them have the word king somewhere in their names.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:46 > 0:32:49is going through to play for that jackpot, so very best of luck.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16I'll read those all again.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Corinna and Ben will go first. I know three and five.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I don't know five. Kings Of Leon.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Which is going to be better? King Of The Hill. OK.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Can we go for the middle one?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51King Of The Hill. King Of The Hill, the animated sitcom.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Now, then, Derek and Matt, over to you. Don't know the top one.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59We know the venomous snake, king cobra,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02but we're going to go for the UK number-one albums
0:34:02 > 0:34:04include Mechanical Bull and Only By The Night.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06That's Kings Of Leon.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09So, we have King Of The Hill and we have Kings Of Leon.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Corinna and Ben have gone for King Of The Hill,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17It's right.
0:34:26 > 0:34:2724 for King Of The Hill.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Very hard to call, this one.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Derek and Matt, meanwhile, have gone for Kings Of Leon.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Let's see if it's right, let's see how far down the column we get.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It's right.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Now, will it beat King Of The Hill?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Oh, no, not quite! 32.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Two good answers there but Corinna and Ben, yours pipped it.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It means after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Very well played.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58There's two answers there that would have won you the point, though.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Not king cobra, that's the biggest scorer,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04the world's largest venomous snake. Would have scored you 61.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But the top one would have won you the point,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08the name of H Rider Haggard's adventure novel.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10It's King Solomon's Mines.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Would have scored 17.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14And the best answer on the board by quite some way
0:35:14 > 0:35:15is the NBA basketball team.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Very well done at home if you said this, Sacramento Kings. 2 points.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27very strong right the way through the show, Derek and Matt,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29including our pointless answer in Round Two.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Nothing wrong with any of your answers in this round either,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34really close there.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Best answer on the board with the Christmas foods.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39But I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye and it's been great
0:35:39 > 0:35:42having you on the show, thank you so much for playing.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Derek and Matt. Thank you.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49But for Corinna and Ben, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Very well done, Corinna and Ben, you have fought off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You now have a chance to play for our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?4,750.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Well, this is very exciting.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22We said goodbye to you in the first round last time.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24This time, though, you've just barely put a foot wrong.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27I mean, fantastic low scores, a pointless answer,
0:36:27 > 0:36:292-1 in the head-to-head there.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32What would you particularly like to see come up?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Classics would be good. Mm-hm. Or maths.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Maths, yeah. Maybe some sports.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Let's hope there's something on the board today
0:36:40 > 0:36:42that will help you win that jackpot.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Today's line-up looks like this.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Not horse racing. Not classic American singer-songwriters.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Yes. that's fine. So, Girl Films or Roaring Twenties.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Roaring Twenties could be all sorts of things.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08I think we should go for that. OK, all right. Roaring Twenties.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11It's been on the board for a while. Yeah, thank you for picking it.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Three very different categories here,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15hopefully one of them will suit you.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19We are looking for the name of any musical numbers
0:37:19 > 0:37:22from the official cast recording of Chicago from 1997.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Any of the songs that appear on that album, please.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29We are looking for any baseball World Series winners from 1920-29,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32or we are looking for the name of any Prime Minister of the UK
0:37:32 > 0:37:34or any President of the USA who was in office
0:37:34 > 0:37:36at any point during the 1920s.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41So, musical numbers from the Chicago original cast recording from 1997,
0:37:41 > 0:37:44baseball World Series winners and Presidents and Prime Ministers.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Very best of luck.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:49 > 0:37:50to come up with three answers.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:52 > 0:37:54is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Are you ready? Yes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Presidents and Prime Ministers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Yes, Andrew Bonar Law. Yes.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Erm, Lloyd George?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Obviously, David Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14So, no baseball series winners, then? No. American Presidents?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Is Ford...? No, that's later.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21Hoover, I think, was '29. Yeah, shall we go with that?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What's his first name?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Herbert Hoover? Herbert Hoover, yes.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Cleveland, is he then?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31And we've also got British Prime Ministers as well. Same one.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Bonar Law, Lloyd George...
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Hoover? Herbert Hoover, shall we try that, those three?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Is there anything else that we know? Still got some time.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Don't know any Chicago, don't know any... Any other Prime Ministers?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Who else was...?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51There was a Labour one. 10 seconds left.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Labour one? Was it...?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Mac something. Macmillan? No, that's later.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00MacDonald, Ramsay MacDonald.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02OK, that is your time up.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Let's have your three answers.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07You'll have to decide which of those answers you're going to submit.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09So, Ramsay MacDonald? Yes. Ramsay MacDonald.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Andrew Bonar Law. Andrew Bonar Law, yes.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Either the President or the Prime Minister.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Which do you think - Hoover or Lloyd George?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Hoover. Herbert Hoover.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Herbert Hoover, OK, three good answers there.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28I think Bonar Law, maybe. OK, Andrew Bonar Law we'll put last.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Least likely to be pointless.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Hoover? Herbert Hoover will be put first. And here they are.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Well, three good answers on the board there.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45As we said, Roaring Twenties has been around for a long time.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48So, yes, nice to know what was behind it.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51If one of these answers is pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:39:51 > 0:39:52what would you do with it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55?4,750, a decent jackpot.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Well, we're getting married next year,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00so I guess we'd put it on the wedding. Maybe a honeymoon.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Ben thinks we should go to Bermuda now.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Well, maybe you should. We won't need a passport! There you are.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Well, congratulations. Ben, anything you'd like to add to that?
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I think Bermuda would be nice, Saint Lucia!
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Very good, best of luck.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Your first answer was Herbert Hoover.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19In this case, we were looking for Presidents
0:40:19 > 0:40:21and Prime Ministers from the 1920s.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22In fact, in all your answers,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25we're looking for Presidents and Prime Ministers from the '20s.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29If any one of these is pointless, it will win you ?4,750 but let's see.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Herbert Hoover, how many people said that? Is it pointless?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36It's right.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Now, if Herbert Hoover takes us all the way down to 0,
0:40:40 > 0:40:43you'll be leaving here with ?4,750 immediately.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Down it goes through to single figures, still goes,
0:40:46 > 0:40:486 for Herbert Hoover.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54That's a great answer.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Lovely low score. Sadly, though, not a pointless answer.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00We're only interested in pointless answers in this final round,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Your next answer was Ramsay MacDonald -
0:41:04 > 0:41:07again, Presidents and Prime Ministers from the '20s
0:41:07 > 0:41:08was the category.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10If this is pointless, it'll win you ?4,750.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12How many people said Ramsay MacDonald?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16It's right.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Well, Herbert Hoover was right
0:41:17 > 0:41:19and he took us all the way down to 6.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24Ramsay Macdonald takes us down through the 20s and into the teens,
0:41:24 > 0:41:25into single figures, passes 6,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27down it goes, still going...
0:41:27 > 0:41:28You got it!
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Very, very well done indeed. Superb.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Ah!
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Congratulations, Ramsay MacDonald
0:41:42 > 0:41:46has just improved your honeymoon a whole lot. What about that?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49That's brilliant, a pointless answer means you are leaving here
0:41:49 > 0:41:50with that jackpot of ?4,750.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Brilliant!
0:41:51 > 0:41:54APPLAUSE
0:41:57 > 0:42:00What a fantastic performance today. Well done, both of you.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Round One last time, but I knew you had more in you, terrific stuff.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Andrew Bonar Law would have scored you 2 points. So, well done.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09It's such a perfect example of using that 60 seconds well.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I was looking at the clock, I think it was at 58 seconds,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14someone said, "Isn't there a Mac something?"
0:42:14 > 0:42:1659 seconds, you went "Macdonald" and 59.5 seconds,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19you went "Ramsay Macdonald" and it won you the money,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20so terrific stuff, very well done.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23We'll look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Start with the musical numbers from Chicago,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27there's lots of pointless answers here.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33You could add A Little Bit Of Good, All I Care About, Entr'acte,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Honey Rag, I Can't Do It Alone and My Own Best Friend.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Baseball World Series winners, there's five pointless answers here.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49And for Presidents and Prime Ministers,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51there are only two pointless answers.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53So you did terrifically well getting that.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Warren G Harding, US President, and Ramsay MacDonald.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58There he is, very well played. That was a terrific show.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Thanks, Richard.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Thanks once again to our winning players, Corinna and Ben,
0:43:02 > 0:43:06who go away with today's jackpot of ?4,750.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Brilliant!
