APPLAUSE | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
the show where obvious answers mean nothing | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
and obscure answers mean everything. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
And couple number one. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Hello, I'm Derek, this is my wife, Kathy, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
and we're from Grimsby. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Couple number two. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi, I'm Ruth. This is my husband, Robb. We're from Halifax. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Couple number three. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi, I'm Martin. This is my wife, Sarah. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
We're from Runcorn. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
And, finally, couple number four. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Hi, I'm Colette, this is my friend, Toni, and we're from Belfast. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
And these are today's contestants. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
We'll find out more about each of you | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
throughout the show as it goes along. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
I actually think he's losing his touch. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Earlier, he couldn't even tell me | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
where guacamole came on the periodic table. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-Hiya. -APPLAUSE | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Hi, everybody. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-Good afternoon to you. -Good afternoon. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Now, an interesting thing in the last couple of shows. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
You know on our end board, we have categories | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
that sometimes stay around for ages and ages and ages. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Years ago, we had Katie Price for years and years, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
but we've had two categories in the last two shows | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
that have been chosen that were around for a long time. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Very dusty, weren't they? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
We had Roaring '20s a couple of shows ago, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and they won the jackpot on that. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
And then, the last show, we finally got rid of Sport In Leeds. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-Yes. -Didn't we? Lovely Jeremy and Ben. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-Jeremy and Ben taking it off our hands. -Yes, decent of them. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
They didn't win the jackpot, don't panic. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
But often is the case when these things get taken off the board | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
that we give away the jackpot. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
We've got two returning pairs from that show. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Robb and Ruth got all the way through to the head-to-head. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Very well played. Robb is a vicar. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-I'm not kidding you, he's a vicar. -LAUGHTER | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Martin and Sarah got knocked out in Round One. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
So hopefully we'll see an awful lot more of them this time. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Ahh. Now, I'll tell you what's nice is, um... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Colette and Toni on the far podium, there. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
It's like that time we had Swank and Hilary. Remember? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Toni Collette. I sometimes wish people would stand the right way | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
round when they've got celebrity names. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Ah, well. There we are. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Yes, Jeremy and Ben, as you'll have gathered, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
didn't win the jackpot, so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
There it is. APPLAUSE | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
So, all you have to remember, as ever, is this - | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
the pair with the highest score at the end of each round | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
will be eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Our first category this afternoon... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
..is Film Stars. Film Stars. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
OK. And the question concerns... | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Actors And The Films They Starred In. Richard. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
On each board, we're going to show you seven pairs of films | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
and the initials of an actor who starred in both of those films. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Please, can you tell us who that actor is? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
It's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Very, very best of luck. I am just hoping beyond hope | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
that Toni Collette is not on the board, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
otherwise we've really messed up. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
This early, we've really messed up. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Yes. OK. Thank you. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
Fingers crossed. Thank you. OK. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
So we are looking for the names of the actors | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
that starred in these pairs of films. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
And here is our first board of seven. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
I'll read those again a little bit faster. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Derek, welcome to Pointless. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Here from Grimsby. What do you do, Derek? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
I'm a retired teacher. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
-How long have you been retired? -The last two years. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Ooh. Do you look back fondly on the days of teaching, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-or are you delighted in the mornings? -A bit of both. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
A little bit of both. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
What do you fill your time with now? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
I play in a band. I play drums in a band and I play golf. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
You can tell he plays drums. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Drummers are always very fit, aren't they? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
He looks in good shape, Derek, is what I am saying. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
How long have you been playing drums? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
-Years and years and years? -Years and years, yes. Since I was 15. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
You've been in bands ever since? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Off and on. But, more recently, a little bit more regularly. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
OK. What's the band you're in now? What sort of band is it? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
It is called Ally's Cat, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
and it's a kind of wedding/birthday party type band. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Very nice. Very nice indeed. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Now, Derek, what would you like to go for on our board? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Film's not my favourite category, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
but I'm pleased to see there's one up there I do know. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
So I'm going to go for Goldeneye and Thomas Crown Affair - | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-Pierce Brosnan. -Pierce Brosnan, says Derek. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Let's see if it's right, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
let's see how many of our 100 people said Pierce Brosnan. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
It's right. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
62. APPLAUSE | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
62. Not bad. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Yep, that was his first Bond film. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Of course, Thomas Crown Affair, a remake of the Steve McQueen film. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Indeed, yes. Now, Ruth, welcome back to Pointless. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
True to the head-to-head. Very close head-to-head it was, too. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-Very exciting. -Very exciting indeed. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Remind us what you do, Ruth. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
I'm a clinical psychologist. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
A clinical psychologist, but also you play the bass. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-I do. -In your rock mass. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
In the rock mass, yes, and also in a kind of pub band as well. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
I see, OK. And your pub band - is it like Derek's? Do you play...? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
We play mostly kind of, er... stadium rock, hair metal, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
so Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, that kind of stuff. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-"Hair metal"? -Yeah. -I've never heard it called... Is that...? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Yeah, that's bands like Poison, with the long... -Big hair. -OK. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
OK. Did you headbang? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
I try, yeah. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-I bet you do it very well. -Thank you. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Now, Ruth, what would you like to go for? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
I think I know a couple of them, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
but I'm going to go for Shakespeare In Love and Iron Man | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
with Gwyneth Paltrow. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Gwyneth Paltrow, says Ruth. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
There we are. APPLAUSE | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
33. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Yeah, Gwyneth Paltrow. That shows some range, doesn't it? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Well, it does. And I tell you what, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I'm glad it's Gwyneth Paltrow, cos I was just thinking, | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
"I can't really remember Geoffrey Palmer in either of those." | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
But it just seemed perfectly feasible | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
that he might have been in Shakespeare In Love. There we are. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-Anyway. Now, Sarah, welcome back. -Hi. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
Now, remind us what you do, Sarah. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
I work in an ice rink in a cafe. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Remind us what you do in your spare time. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
What sort of things do you like getting up to? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
I am a black belt in karate. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-That's good to know. -Yeah. -Good. -Handy to have. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
Yeah, maybe they'll go beyond the first round this time. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-Yeah, I'd have thought so. -LAUGHTER | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
-I don't know about that. -What else do you get up to? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
I like making my own jewellery, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
especially charm bracelets and things. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-I've just started doing that. -Do you sell that, or...? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Not at the minute, no, but it's something I'm looking into. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-Very good indeed. -Definitely for the future. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-OK. Now, Sarah. -Yes. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Sarah, what would you like to go for on this board? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Well, I've seen Knocked Up. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I just cannot think off the top of my head who it is. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
So I'm going to have to play it really, really, really safe | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
and say, for the bottom one... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
the Rocky one, Sylvester Stallone. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-Sylvester Stallone? -Yes. -OK. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Well, 62's our high score at this point. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Let's see where you get with Sylvester Stallone. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
APPLAUSE 85. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
-High score. -Yeah. Better than 100, though. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
He became only the third person in history | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
to be nominated for acting and writing | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
in the same year at the Oscars, Sylvester Stallone. Both for Rocky. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
That's good. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
-I forgot he wrote Rocky. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Collette, welcome to Pointless. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Lovely to have you here. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
What do you do in Belfast? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
I'm a civil servant. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
Are you the kind of civil servant I can ask what you do? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-No, you can't ask. -OK. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
OK, I'll just have to force it out of you. Um... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
Um, Collette, what do you get up to | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
when the civil service is behind you? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
I've been learning Italian for the last 18 months, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
and I've actually practised something | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
I would like to say to you, if that's OK? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-I'd be delighted to hear it. -Yeah? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
Ricardo, lui e multo intelligente, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
e Alessandro e un tesoro. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-How dare you?! -LAUGHTER | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
So you're very intelligent... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
and I'm a Tazer. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
No, you're a sweetheart. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Ahh. -Ah, thank you, that's nice. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Um, thank you very much. Gosh, your Italian's brilliant. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-Thank you, I've a good teacher. -Wonderful. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
So have you been to Italy since learning? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Yes, I've been to Venice and Florence. I love Venice. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
We went on the Orient Express for our 25th wedding anniversary. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-Wow. -It was fantastic. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-Was it everything you'd hoped it would be? -It was. -Wonderful. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Wonderful. Now, Collette, you're the last person to have this board. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
If you wanted to, you could talk us through it. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Well, I think I know them all except one. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
The first one is Seth Rogen. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
I don't know the Sixteen Candles, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
though I should know The Breakfast Club. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
The Citizen Kane is Orson Welles, | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
And the Jurassic Park is Jeff Goldblum. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
So, um... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
I think I'll go for Seth Rogen. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
Seth Rogen, says Collette. Let's see if that's right. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Seth Rogen. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
It's right. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
Well, 33 is our low score at this point, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
and you pass it, Collette. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
Down to 22. Very well done indeed. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
22 for Seth Rogen. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
It's very good work, Collette. She's clever, Collette, isn't she? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-She's good. -Whatever the Italian for clever is, you are it. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Now, the best answer on the board is the one you didn't know, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
so we'll get on to that last. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
Citizen Kane, you are absolutely right about, it's Orson Welles. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
That would have scored 44, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
and Jurassic Park/Independence Day is Jeff Goldblum. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Would have scored you 24. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
And Xander, Sixteen Candles/ The Breakfast Club? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
I'm trying to work it out. Is it an...? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Is it a male or female actor? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
-Female. -OK. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
It is... | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
-Molly Ringwald. -There we go. -Molly Ringwald. Good. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-That would have scored 17 points. -Best answer on the board. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Even after you'd said it was female, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
I couldn't get Michael Rosen out of my mind... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
LAUGHTER ..the Children's Laureate. Yep. Could not shift him. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
Anyway, there we are. Thank you. We're halfway through the round. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
22 was the best score of that pass. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Well done you, Collette. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Collette and Toni looking very good at that far end there.. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
Then we travel up to 33, where we find Ruth and Robb. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Then up 62, Derek and Kathy, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
and then Sarah and Martin ahead there on 85. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
You are not miles ahead. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:38 | |
But Martin, a nice low score from you would do a lot of good for you. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
We're going to come back down the line. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
OK, let's put seven more films... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
pairs of films, I should say, up on the board and here they are. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Toni, welcome to Pointless. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
-Thank you. -Great to have you here. What do you do, Toni? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
I'm well and truly retired. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
What did you do? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
I was a physio in my previous life. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
And when did you retire? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Ooh, about 12 years ago. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Very nice. What do you get up to? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-Well, I have a passion in life and that's bridge. -Ahh. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
So that's really what I do. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
-It is one of those games that it can take over your life. -It does. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-In a wonderful way. Very sociable thing to be doing. -It is, it is. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
Does Collette play bridge with you at all? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
We're members of the same bridge club, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
but we don't actually partner each other. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-I see, I see. -There's a story there, isn't there? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Oh, I think so. LAUGHTER | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Firstly, we don't know what Collette does for a job, and now Toni's like, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
"Yeah, no, I know her but I wouldn't play bridge with the woman." | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Yeah. OK. Now, Toni, what would you like to go for? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
62 or less is your target. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
I'm going to go for a local fellow, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
who's Liam Neeson... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
-out of Taken. -Liam Neeson, says Toni. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Here's your red line, nice and high. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
Get below that with Liam Neeson, you're through to Round Two. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
How many people said Liam Neeson? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Well done. Liam Neeson's done everything you required of him. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
APPLAUSE 37 is your score. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
59, your total. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
Well played, Toni. I love Liam Neeson. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
I think he might be my favourite non-indie actor. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
Whenever you see Liam Neeson's in a film, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
you think, "It's going to be halfway decent." | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Apparently, when they offered him Taken, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
which obviously has been a huge success for him now, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
with all its spin-offs, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
he thought it'd be a huge flop but he said, "I'll do it," | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
because he got to spend four months in Paris and learn karate. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
He thought, "I fancy doing both of those things, so I'll do it." | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
And it's made him very, very wealthy, that franchise. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
It certainly has. My goodness. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Now, Martin. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
Welcome back. Now, remind us what you do, Martin. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
IT support. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
IT support, but you're also the coach | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-of the England Wheelchair Rugby Union team. -Correct. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
But you said, last time... | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
You said there were three disciplines. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
There is, there's the Paralympic version, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
-which everyone's probably seen on TV. -Yeah. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
There's a version based on Rugby League, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
and there's this version, based on Rugby Union. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Union as well. But you play all three? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-I play all three, yes. -Just because, why not? -Exactly. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
And are you actually in the national side? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
The Rugby Union side? | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
I'm player-manager. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
-Player-manager? -Yeah. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Wow. And has it affected your game? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
Have you had a touch of the Alistair Cooks? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-Being, um... -No, not really. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
The first person on the sheet is my name, obviously. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Very important. What position do you play? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Either full-back or as a winger. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I see. OK. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Now then, Martin. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
How are we feeling about this board? Because we have to have a low score. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
There's no way we can send you home at the end of the first round. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
There's two or three that I know. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
One very dodgy, but I'm not risking it, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
so I'm going to go for the top one | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
and go for Jennifer Aniston. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Let's see if that's right. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
There's no red line for you, as you're the high-scorers. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
But let's see how far down the column | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
you get with Jennifer Aniston. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
That's a good answer. APPLAUSE | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Well done, Martin. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
28, taking your total up to 113. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Could have kept yourself in the game there. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Yeah. Well played, Martin. Nice answer. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Both good films, actually. Jason Sudeikis is in both of them as well. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-Ah, nice. -Have you seen We're The Millers? Good film. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-I haven't, no. -You would like it. -I... | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
I'll watch it. LAUGHTER | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
Good. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
And then I'll let you know what I think of it. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
I'm not around Tuesday. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
So let me know Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
Thursday evening? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
I'm out between seven and sort of nine. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
But, after that, I'm around. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
OK, now, Robb. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
Robb... Robb's a vicar. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-Robb is a vicar. -Robb's... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
Robb is a vicar. You're a Church of England priest. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-That's right. -In Halifax. -Yeah. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Once a month, you put on a rock mass. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
That's right. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
But then presumably, the rest of the time, there's no rock'n'roll at all, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
it's all fairly... Is it fairly...? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-We're quite a lively parish, so we have lots of fun. -OK. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
It's all-age all the time, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
so we generally have lots of little kids running around everywhere. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
We do, on a Sunday morning, occasionally bring our instruments, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
another once a month thing. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
I play less solos on a Sunday morning than I do at the rock mass, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
but I still play the Les Paul. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Very good. How long does rock mass last? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
Generally about an hour and a half, hour and three quarters, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
by the time we've sung everything | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
and thrown in an extra couple of "hymns" because we want to. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
XANDER LAUGHS | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Do you have someone playing support beforehand, for matins? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
We've generally got videos playing in the background. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
OK. That's very good. Is it packed, the church? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
Um, rock mass tends to get... The best it's been - 100? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
Which isn't bad for a Sunday evening | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
in a council estate in a church hall. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Not bad, yeah. Wow. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
Now, you're on 33. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
If you can score 79 or less, you are into Round Two. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
It's really irritating, cos both of my best answers have been taken | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
and I'd like to have a crack at the bottom one, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
but I'm going to play it safe | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
and say Fight Club and Ocean's Eleven, Brad Pitt. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
Brad Pitt, you're saying. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Here's your red line. You have to get below that with Brad Pitt. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Let's see if you can. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
It's right. You're through. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
63. There we are. APPLAUSE | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
Not bad. 96 is your total. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
It's Edward Norton, his co-star in Fight Club. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Said he broke his thumb on Brad Pitt's stomach, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
cos it was so hard. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
-Wow. -That's good going, isn't it? -Isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-There you go. Kathy. Welcome. -Hello. -Great to have you here from Grimsby. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-What do you do, Kathy? -I'm a retired teacher, too. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Also a retired teacher. What did you teach? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Um, started off teaching secondary English and art. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
Then, when I had young children, I changed to primary teaching | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
and I've also taught English as a foreign language. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
Lots and lots of disciplines in there, Kathy. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
This is great training for Pointless, surely. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
What do you get up to these days, what do you like to do? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
We look after our two little grandsons one day a week, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
and when we're not doing that, I like to read, go to the theatre... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
..do lots and lots of yoga. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-Very good. -Cryptic crosswords. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Perfect. Again, very good for Pointless. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Now then, you're on 62. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
50 or less gets you through. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Do you fancy talking us through that board, Kathy, | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-and filling in the blanks? -Well, I wish I could. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
I knew Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
And the only other one I know is, I'm sure going to be higher than 52. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
But I'm going to have to go for Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Julia Roberts. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
Julia Roberts, says Kathy. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Here's your red line. There it is. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
So how many of our 100 people said Julia Roberts? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
It's right. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Oh, I'm sorry, Kathy - | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
75 for Julia Roberts. APPLAUSE | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
137 is your total. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Yeah, a big score, I'm afraid. When she played Erin Brockovich, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
first time a woman's been paid 20 million for a film, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-Julia Roberts. Not bad money, is it? -Good going. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Let's look at the High Noon and Rear Window one. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
You will kick yourself, cos you'll know it. It's Grace Kelly. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-KATHY: -Ugh, yes. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
-Grace Kelly would scored you 13 points as well. -Oh! | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
Would've been a terrific answer. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Just above that, one point more for Emma Stone. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Would've scored 14. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
And the one at the bottom? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
-Natalie Portman. -It is Natalie Portman. And that one... | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Do you know something exciting? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Natalie Portman was filming V For Vendetta in our street in Islington, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
with Stephen Fry. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Because I sort of know Stephen Fry a little bit, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
I left him a note and said, "Come up. When you get a break, | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
"come up and have a drink with us." | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-And he came and he brought Natalie Portman round. -Did he? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
The two of them sat in our kitchen. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Isn't that extraordinary? About half an hour. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Did you say to him, "She wasn't actually invited, Stephen. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-"I just invited you."? -LAUGHTER | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-"Now I've got this weird woman in my flat." -Yeah. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
And we had some friends who turned up for dinner. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
They turned up and we said, "Oh, this is Stephen and Natalie. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
"That's my friend Simon, Tilly." | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
-Oh, that's quite fun, isn't it? -I know. -It is. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-Natalie Portman. -Natalie Portman. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Anyway, there we are. Thank you very much. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
At the end of our first round, I'm afraid, Kathy and Derek, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
you are the people we have to say goodbye to. 137, your total there. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Always tough being on that first podium. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
We'll see you next time and I hope you'll do much, much better. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
In the meantime, thanks very much, Kathy and Derek. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Well done, everyone. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
We are through to Round Two. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Sarah and Martin, welcome. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
Great to have you here with us. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
And, Colette, a special mention to you for Seth Rogen there. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
A brilliant answer and deservedly the lowest score of the round. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Our category for Round Two this afternoon... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
is Countries. Countries. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
..as they could. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:23 | |
Commonwealth Countries In The Northern Hemisphere. Richard. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Yes, we're looking for any country, apart from the UK, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
that's a member of the Commonwealth of Nations | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
that has any of its territory north of the equator, please. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
As always, by country, | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Now, Robb. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
This is an absolutely horrific category for me. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
Um, I've no idea. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Um, I'm going to guess at India. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
OK, Robb is going to see India. Let's see if that's right. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said India. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
It's right. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
26. APPLAUSE | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
Yeah, India lies across the Tropic of Cancer. India. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
Thanks very much indeed. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
Now, Sarah, what would you like to go for? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
I've got three in mind. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
I think I might just play it really safe cos I know it might be right. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
I think I'll pick Canada. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Canada, says Sarah. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Canada. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
Oh, 66 for Canada. APPLAUSE | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
Yeah, a founder member of the Commonwealth, Canada, in 1931. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
That means it gets free membership - a founder member, of course. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Yes, this is certainly right. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Everyone else has to pay a subscription, don't they? | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
It's 25 quid a year or something. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
And Canada not only gets it free, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
-but also there's a special toilet they can use.... -That's right. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
-..for founder members. -Yeah, and special Commonwealth buttons. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
It's slightly nicer. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
It is. Do you know what, the difference - I have seen it - | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
is that the loo roll's in a V, that's about it. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Always in a V. Well, no, nicer toiletries. -Oh, some potpourri. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-Nicer toiletries. -There you are. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
-Also just there's never a queue. -True. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
Cos, you know, there's only Canada | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
and some of the other founding nations, yeah. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
-Which we won't mention. -We'd better not. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
-Now, Colette. -Hi. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Um...I think I'll play it safe, hopefully, and say New Zealand. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
-New Zealand. -No... -Not in the northern hemisphere? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
-Oh. -Not as safe as it might have been. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
New Zealand in the northern hemisphere? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
We'll find out about that. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
-Oops! -Oh, I'm sorry, Colette. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer and scores you 100 points. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Sorry, Colette, very much in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
-Sorry. -Well, if you go so far south, maybe you end up coming... | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Yeah. Well, we're halfway through the round. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
Let's take a look at those scores.. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
26, Robb. Very well done indeed. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
Sarah and Martin might well be into the head-to-head. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Martin, if you can find a nice low scoring answer. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
Colette and Toni, you are quite ahead there. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
So, Toni, unless you find a brilliant pointless answer. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
I bet there are some. Good luck with that. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
We're going to come back down the line. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
So, Toni, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
we're looking for Commonwealth countries which have all or part | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
of their territory in the northern hemisphere. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
I'm very much hoping that Tonga is the northern hemisphere. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Tonga, says Toni. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
No red line for you as you're the highest scorers. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Let's find out if Tonga's right, let's see how much Toni can score. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
Hm, it's not. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:50 | |
-Oh! 200 Club! -Oh, I'm sorry, Toni! | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
That's an incorrect answer - scores you 100 points, | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
takes your total up to 200. | 0:25:58 | 0:25:59 | |
Yeah, southern hemisphere as well, I'm afraid. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
But 200 Club, you know? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
-That's nice. -It's a great place to be. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
THEY have their own loo as well, which is, er... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
The queue's getting longer for that one, though, isn't it? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
It really is. And people sort of can't work the lock properly. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
And you know what? It's a bit of a mess, if I'm going to be honest. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
-Yeah. -It could take a clean. -It could. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
Now, Martin. Martin, the good news is you're through. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
Doesn't matter what you score. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
So a little bit of pressure off there but let's have a great answer. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
I was thinking of Denmark. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
Denmark, says Martin. Let's see if Denmark's right. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Denmark. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
No red line - you're already through. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
Oh, I'm afraid not Denmark. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
But it is in the northern hemisphere, so there we are. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 166. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
If only we could combine the northern hemisphereness of Denmark | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
and the... "being in the Commonwealthness" | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
-of New Zealand and Tonga, we'd have the perfect answer. -Amazing. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Amazing. Now, Ruth, again, you are also through, which is great news. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
But let's have a good answer. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
Robb, our lowest scorer so far. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
It's lots of pressure. He's doing very well. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
This is really tricky. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:13 | |
I'm going to have a guess at Trinidad and Tobago. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Trinidad and Tobago, I like the sound of that. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
No red line for you, as you're already through, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
but let's see how many people said Trinidad and Tobago. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
It's right. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:27 | |
26, our lowest score so far. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
You fly past. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
Down to 9. Very well done indeed, Ruth. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
35 is your total, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
the lowest score of the round. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
Lowest total of the round as well. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
Yeah, joined in 1962, Trinidad and Tobago. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
It's a great answer. I'll go through lots of the answers. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
I can't believe some of these places are in the northern hemisphere. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-That's the thing, isn't it? -It goes down further than you think. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Yeah. LAUGHTER | 0:27:52 | 0:27:53 | |
-Not far enough. -Yeah, not as far as New Zealand! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
-LAUGHTER -But it does go down a long way. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
There's three Pointless answers. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Very well done if you said Dominica, Kiribati or Brunei. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
They were all pointless answers. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:06 | |
You'd have got two points for Sierra Leone, Grenada, | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
St Vincent and the Grenadines and St Lucia. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Three points for the Maldives and Cameroon. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
Didn't know the Maldives was in the northern hemisphere. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
When did that happen? | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
Four points for Uganda, Malaysia, Singapore and the Bahamas. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
Five points for Sri Lanka. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Six for Belize, Bangladesh, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Guyana. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
Seven for Antigua and Barbuda and Ghana. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Eight for Nigeria. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:30 | |
11 for Barbados and Kenya. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |
12 for Cyprus - would have been a nice answer. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
13, Pakistan. 15 for Malta. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Let's take a look at the top three answers. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Two of them we've seen already. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Jamaica is third with 19 and then we've see these two - | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
India with 26 and Canada, miles in the lead there, with 66. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:48 | |
There we are. Thank you very much. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
So, at the end of our second round I'm sorry, Toni and Colette, | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
it is you we have to say goodbye to. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
But we know we'll see you again next time. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
We'll look forward to that very much. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
In the meantime, thanks so much. Toni and Colette. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Very well done, Robb and Ruth, Sarah and Martin. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
You are one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
jackpot which currently stands at £2,000. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Well, you know the story, you can start playing as a pair. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
This is nice, our two returning players through for the head-to-head. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
This doesn't happen very often at all. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
As you've seen off our newcomers, well done. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
I would have expected nothing less. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
Rob and Ruth, you were here last time but you weren't the lowest | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
scoring pair. Sarah and Martin, round one last time. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
Head-to-head this time. Wonderful. Very well done. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
Best of luck to both payers. Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
OK, here is your first question. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
It concerns famous cyclists. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
Famous cyclists. Richard. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
We're going to show you five pictures now of British cyclists. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
Can you identify the most obscure? | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
OK. Let's reveal our five cyclists and here they are. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
We have got... | 0:30:12 | 0:30:13 | |
There we are, five cyclists. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
Rob and Ruth, you are our low scorers, so you will answer first. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
I think there's only one that I know and it is C, | 0:30:50 | 0:30:54 | |
and it's Bradley Wiggins. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
Bradley Wiggins said Rob and Ruth. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
Now, Sarah and Martin, do you want to talk us through that board? | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
We were going to go for C as well. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-Yeah. -Shall we have a guess? | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
We'll have a guess at B. Victoria Pendleton. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
B, Victoria Pendelton. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
So we have Bradley Wiggins and we have Victoria Pendleton. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
Rob and Ruth went for Bradley Wiggins. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
Let's see how many people said it. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:23 | |
55 for Bradley Wiggins. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
Now, Sarah and Martin meanwhile have gone for Victoria Pendleton for B. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said that. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
Yep, it absolutely is Victoria Pendleton and it wins you the point. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
Look at that. Well done! | 0:31:48 | 0:31:49 | |
Good answer there. 22. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
Very well done, Sarah and Martin. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
After one question you are up 1-0. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
Yeah, very well played and let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we? | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
A, she's been on the show, hasn't she? The wonderful | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Dame Sarah Storey. 22 medals across six Paralympics. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
That would have scored you 25 points. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
D is the best answer on the board. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
She set the cycling 12 hour record in 1967. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
Very well done if you said Beryl Burton. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
That would have scored you one point. A terrific answer. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
And E is Chris Boardman, of course. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
It would've scored you 14 points. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
His name is almost an exact anagram of mine. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
His name is Richard Osman B. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
What about that? There you go. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
-There you are. -Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
OK, here comes your second question. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
Rob and Ruth, you have to win this one to stay in the game. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
Sarah and Martin get to answer it first. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
Our second question is all about TV satire. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
I'm going to show you the initials now of five TV satire programmes and | 0:32:44 | 0:32:48 | |
the year in which they were first broadcast. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
Can you tell us which scored the fewest points, please? | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
OK, let's reveal our five TV satire programmes. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
Here they are... | 0:32:56 | 0:32:57 | |
I read those one last time. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
Sarah and Martin will go first. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
We think we know three of them. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
We're going to go for the bottom one, Spitting Image. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
Spitting Image, say Sarah and Martin. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
Now, Rob and Ruth, talk us through that board. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
The top one is That Was The Week That What Was. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
The next one is Have I Got News For You. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
Then there's Not The Nine O'clock News and there's Mock The Week and | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
there's Spitting Image. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
The question is, which one's the best one to go for? | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
Not The Nine O'Clock News. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
Not The Nine O'clock News say Rob and Ruth. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
Spitting Image and Not The Nine O'clock News. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
Martin and Sarah went for Spitting Image. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
Let's see how many people said that. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
It's right. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
Good answer! | 0:34:23 | 0:34:24 | |
Ten for Spitting Image. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
Well done. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
Rob and Ruth meanwhile have gone for Not The Nine O'Clock News. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
There we are in the middle. Let's see how many people said that. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
It's right. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
Oh, 69! | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
Wow! | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Very well done, Sarah and Martin. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:50 | |
After only two questions you are straight through to the final 2-0. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
Very well played. Very tough to work out what the lowest score was there. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
Spitting Image was the lowest score on the board. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
A very, very good answer. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
-It took me the longest to get Spitting Image. -Oh, did it? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
The top one, That Was the Week That Was, would have scored you 39. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:09 | |
Have I Got News For You would have scored you 47. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
Mock the Week would have scored you 23. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
Not The Nine O'clock News is the biggest scorer. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
Amazing. Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is Rob and | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
Ruth, our golden couple. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
You were head-to-head last time round at the blue podium and this | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
time round at the yellow. You played so well and great answers | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
all the way through. It's the end of the road and we have to say | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
goodbye. Far too soon, really. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
It's been lovely having you on both shows. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
Thank you very much, Rob and Ruth. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
But for Sarah and Martin it's now time for our Pointless final. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
Congratulations, Sarah and Martin. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
You've seen of all of the competition | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
and you have one our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
today's show the jackpot is standing at £2,000. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
Well, what a turnaround. What a turnaround! | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
Last time you left at the end of round one, | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
-members of the 200 club. -Yeah. -Here you are. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
It was 2-0 in the head-to-head. No arguing with that. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
What would you like to see come up in this round? | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
Disney Films. Love it. I'd be happy with them. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
Anything sort of sporty. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
Disney films and anything sporty. You know what it's like. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
Four things go up on there and when you first see them | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
your heart sinks but usually there is something in there you can | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
find. Today's selection looks like this. We've got... | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
I'm thinking hospital-based TV shows | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
because we watch quite a few. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
-The '70s one is all down to me. -I know, yeah. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
It's one of the two. Which do you think? | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
Put it on me, go for the '70s. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
We'll do that then. Classic albums from the early 1970s. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
-OK. -Very best of luck. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
Three genuine classical albums here. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
We're looking for any tracks on the original releases of any of the | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
following three albums. Any track on... | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
Any tracks on the original UK releases of any of those | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
three albums, please. Very, very best of luck. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
Thanks very much, indeed. You've got up to one minute to come up with | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
three answers and all you need | 0:37:47 | 0:37:48 | |
to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
-Are you ready? -Yes. -No. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
There they are. Your time starts now. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
I'm thinking... | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
We should have chosen another category. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
It's too late now. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
The Bob Dylan one. Haven't you got one of his albums on your computer? | 0:38:07 | 0:38:12 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
I don't know the first one. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
Bridge Over Troubled Water... | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
The title itself was on the album, so there's one. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
I think we'll have to take a punt. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
We've got 30 seconds. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
Blood On The Tracks... | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
We'll have to just make something up and hope it's right. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
-Something that makes sense. -Victim. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
Tapestry... | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
Patchwork. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
-Ten -seconds left. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Bridge Over Troubled Water. You don't know anything? | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
-I don't know, no. -OK, that is your time up. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
Let's have your three answers. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:02 | |
The top one... I don't know anything about that and we're going to go for | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
-Patchwork. -Patchwork from tapestry. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
A theme there. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:13 | |
-Blood On The Tracks and we'll go with Victim. -Victim. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
And Bridge Over Troubled Water, | 0:39:17 | 0:39:21 | |
we'll call one Stream. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
Stream. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
OK... Shall we put those down in the order that you've given them in? | 0:39:25 | 0:39:30 | |
Any order you like. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
We'll put them in the order you have given them in and we have Patchwork, | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
Victim... They look good printed up there, don't they? | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
Stream. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
-You never know. -One of these days it is going to happen | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
that somebody's going to make up an album track or a title of a book | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
that is actually going to be right and it's going to be Pointless. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
If today... | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
Listen, if today were that day and you were to win £2,000, | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
what would you do with that? | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
I'm currently enrolled on a course to be a driving instructor, | 0:40:01 | 0:40:05 | |
so it would help a lot going towards the cost of the tests. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
Very good. Good, that would be a great thing to do. Martin? | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
Tyres and tubes. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
I'm all was getting punctures. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
Very good. OK, best of luck. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
Three answers there. You just know. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
-No. -We won't know until we've tested them. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
Your first answer was Patchwork. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
If it is Pointless it will win you £2,000. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
Let's see if it's right. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
No. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:39 | |
I fear not Patchwork. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
Your next answer was Victim. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
In this case we were looking | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
for tracks from the 1975 album Blood On The Tracks. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
For £2,000 let's find out if it's right and Pointless. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
Victim. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
No. I'm afraid not Victim. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
One more shot at today's jackpot. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
In this case we were going for Stream | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
on the Simon and Garfunkel album Bridge Over Troubled Water | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
from 1970. For £2,000 is it right? Is it pointless? | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
-No! -Never mind. -I'm sorry. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
Consistent. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
Very consistent. Nothing wrong with that. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
I'm afraid you haven't won our jackpot today. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
That will roll over onto the next show. It's been great having the on. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
Really strong performance and you each get a Pointless trophy to take | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
home. Very well done indeed, Sarah and Martin. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
Yeah, well played, Sarah and Martin. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
I enjoyed those answers as well very much. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
Let's take a look at the pointless answers | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
in those different categories. There's only one on Tapestry. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
Way Over Yonder. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:51 | |
Very well done if you said that. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
Biggest scorers there were You've Got A Friend, | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
I Feel The Earth Move and You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
There is a few more on Blood on the Tracks. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
This is where people at home might have got a Pointless answer. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
You could have had... | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
Let's move onto Simon and Garfunkel. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
Two pointless answers here... | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
Very well done if you got one of those pointless answers at home. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
I'm sorry, Martin and Sarah, you didn't win the jackpot | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
but I have to say for people who missed the start of our show, | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
Martin, you are the player and coach of the English wheelchair | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
rugby union team - the best in the world. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
If that's not a winner, I don't know what is. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to Sarah and Martin. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:45 | |
-It's been brilliant having you on the show. -Thank you for having us. -Great contestants. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
Well, Sarah and Martin didn't win our jackpot today, | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
which means it rolls over onto our next show which means we will be | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
playing for £3,000. Join us then to see if someone can win it. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:04 | |
And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 |
