0:00:150:00:18

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:220:00:23

Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless -

0:00:230:00:26

the show where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.

0:00:260:00:30

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:300:00:31

And couple number one...

0:00:350:00:37

I'm Sandeep, I'm from West London,

0:00:370:00:39

and this is my friend Mitch, and he's from Slough.

0:00:390:00:42

-Couple number two...

-Hi, my name's Beth and I'm from Salisbury,

0:00:420:00:44

and this is my sister Lianne, who is from Surrey.

0:00:440:00:47

-Couple number three...

-Hi, I'm Jane, from Leicester,

0:00:470:00:50

and this is my brother Steven, from Derby.

0:00:500:00:52

And finally, couple number four...

0:00:520:00:54

Hi, I'm Tim. This is Drew. We're from Swindon. We're friends and colleagues.

0:00:540:00:57

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:570:00:59

APPLAUSE

0:00:590:01:02

Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show.

0:01:020:01:04

We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:040:01:07

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:070:01:10

No more Mr Nice Guy - not that our contestants ever met HIM!

0:01:100:01:13

It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

0:01:130:01:15

-Hiya. Hi, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:150:01:17

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-How are you?

-I'm very well, thank you.

0:01:210:01:24

Excellent. Two returning pairs from the last show. They had very different shows.

0:01:240:01:27

On podium four, Tim and Drew, who got through to the head-to-head.

0:01:270:01:30

Had a very strong show.

0:01:300:01:31

And on podium three, Steve and Jane,

0:01:310:01:33

who got knocked out in the first round

0:01:330:01:35

AND joined the 200 Club.

0:01:350:01:36

-Yes.

-Which is some going. I have to say... I know, Steve.

0:01:360:01:40

I have to say, I would say slightly unfortunate members of the 200 Club.

0:01:400:01:43

-I think so.

-They both gave perfectly acceptable answers.

0:01:430:01:45

-They just both happened to be wrong. Cos...

-LAUGHTER

0:01:450:01:48

We've had some shocking members of the 200 Club in our time

0:01:480:01:50

and I wouldn't have put them...

0:01:500:01:52

-I would put them amongst the first rank of the 200 Club.

-Oh.

0:01:520:01:55

Quite often, at 200 Club get-togethers, we need people -

0:01:550:01:58

we need some organisers -

0:01:580:02:00

and I would be very happy putting both of you in charge.

0:02:000:02:02

-Fine.

-So, it's going to be a cracking show.

0:02:020:02:04

Everybody's going to be a bit distracted.

0:02:040:02:06

Sometimes, people at home, they don't understand the whole

0:02:060:02:09

360-degree panorama of a television show

0:02:090:02:11

and what it takes to make a TV show, and everything that goes on behind the scenes.

0:02:110:02:14

If people are distracted at any point during the show,

0:02:140:02:17

it's cos there is a man on the front row with one of

0:02:170:02:19

the most spectacular beards you have ever seen.

0:02:190:02:22

So, forgive our contestants, please, if they start wandering like that.

0:02:220:02:25

They're just looking at him, OK?

0:02:250:02:28

There we are. Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:02:280:02:30

Now, Dave and Henry didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:300:02:32

so we add another £1,000 to that. So, today's jackpot starts off...

0:02:320:02:36

at £2,000. There we are.

0:02:360:02:38

APPLAUSE

0:02:380:02:40

Right - if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:410:02:43

So, remember this - the pair with the highest score

0:02:500:02:53

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:530:02:56

That is all you have to bear in mind. Keep your scores low.

0:02:560:02:59

Our first category today is...

0:02:590:03:01

-Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

-Do you want me to go first?

0:03:050:03:09

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:090:03:11

OK. And the question concerns...

0:03:150:03:18

Celebrities Born In 1986.

0:03:210:03:23

On each board, we're going to show you seven descriptions

0:03:230:03:26

and initials of celebrities born in 1986.

0:03:260:03:28

Just give us a nice, obscure answer, please.

0:03:280:03:30

There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.

0:03:300:03:33

-I personally don't think you should be allowed to be a celebrity if you were born in 1986.

-No. No.

0:03:330:03:38

-Well, what can they possibly have done?

-Let's find out.

0:03:380:03:40

That's what I'm afraid of. Yeah.

0:03:400:03:43

OK, so, we are looking for these celebrities.

0:03:430:03:46

We want to know who they are. There'll be clues describing them.

0:03:460:03:48

They were all born in 1986, though. There we are. When we were 16.

0:03:480:03:52

Oh, I know.

0:03:520:03:54

I'm going to read those all one last time.

0:04:240:04:27

Sandeep. A warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.

0:04:550:04:58

-What do you do, Sandeep?

-I work as a planner at a content agency.

0:04:580:05:02

So, we work with loads of companies. Different types -

0:05:020:05:05

car brands, banks, even paint makers. And I sort of do research.

0:05:050:05:11

Anything tickling your fancy at this moment?

0:05:110:05:13

Is paint creeping ahead there?

0:05:130:05:15

Actually, genuinely, it is, because the client is based in Amsterdam,

0:05:150:05:18

so that means I might get to go over there, which is always fun.

0:05:180:05:21

Sandeep, that is just transparent! So it's nothing to do with the paint?

0:05:210:05:24

Well, the paint itself is, I'm sure, incredibly interesting.

0:05:240:05:27

-I haven't had a chance to work on the account.

-Have you watched it dry?

0:05:270:05:30

-I've heard that's the top... That's what you need to aim for.

-Wow! OK.

0:05:300:05:33

Sandeep, what would you like to go for?

0:05:330:05:35

I'm torn between the bottom two but I'm going to go for...

0:05:350:05:41

-the silver medallist as Amir Khan.

-Amir Khan?

0:05:410:05:43

-Yeah.

-Amir Khan. Let's see if it's right.

0:05:430:05:45

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Amir Khan.

0:05:450:05:47

It is right.

0:05:500:05:51

31. Not bad at all, Sandeep. Gets us off to a good start.

0:05:550:05:59

Yeah, also became World Light Welterweight Champion in 2009.

0:06:010:06:05

Thanks very much, Richard. Beth...welcome.

0:06:050:06:08

What do you do in Salisbury, Beth?

0:06:080:06:10

I work from home as a digital marketing manager

0:06:100:06:12

for a winter sports company.

0:06:120:06:14

That's quite fun. Do you have an interest in winter sports?

0:06:140:06:17

Yeah, I love skiing.

0:06:170:06:19

What do you like getting up to apart from, obviously, skiing?

0:06:190:06:21

I like to cook and do some baking

0:06:210:06:24

and read, and walking - things like that.

0:06:240:06:28

-Very good indeed. Now, Beth, this board...

-Yes.

0:06:280:06:31

..of people born in 1986.

0:06:310:06:34

I should know the professional snowboarder,

0:06:340:06:36

being in that industry...

0:06:360:06:38

-You should.

-..but I don't.

0:06:380:06:40

So I'm going to go for the actress who plays Clara Oswald

0:06:400:06:45

as Jenna Coleman.

0:06:450:06:47

Jenna Coleman, says Beth. Let's see if Jenna Coleman's right.

0:06:470:06:50

Let's see how many of 100 people said it.

0:06:500:06:51

Well, you pass our only score so far.

0:06:580:07:00

Well done. 15.

0:07:000:07:01

APPLAUSE

0:07:010:07:05

15 for Jenna Coleman.

0:07:050:07:07

Yeah, very good. She was in Emmerdale for four years,

0:07:070:07:09

before being Doctor Who's assistant.

0:07:090:07:12

There we are. Thanks, Richard. Jane, welcome back.

0:07:120:07:16

Remind us what you do, Jane.

0:07:160:07:18

A health-care assistant and receptionist in a GP's surgery.

0:07:180:07:20

So, how do you...? Do you do that, sort of, at the same time or are they two separate jobs?

0:07:200:07:24

-No, no, I do four clinics as a health care assistant...

-I see.

0:07:240:07:27

-..and then I do three sessions on reception.

-And do other...

0:07:270:07:30

Do other people on reception also do health care, or are you...?

0:07:300:07:32

One of our other ladies has just trained as a phlebotomist,

0:07:320:07:36

so she can now take blood as well.

0:07:360:07:38

-Right.

-That's what I originally started to do.

0:07:380:07:40

-Taking blood?

-Then, sort of, added in a few extra things.

0:07:400:07:43

How many times did you have to take blood before you stopped going, "Eurgh"?

0:07:430:07:47

-I loved it right from the word "go", actually.

-You're not...

0:07:470:07:49

Professionally, you're not...

0:07:490:07:50

-If you take blood, you're not supposed to go, "Eurgh!"

-Aren't you?

0:07:500:07:54

-That's the first thing they teach you.

-Oh, I see.

0:07:540:07:56

-Even if you're feeling it, don't do it.

-I see.

0:07:560:07:58

So, yes, Jane, when you leave the surgery,

0:07:580:08:00

when you put all that behind you, what do you like to get up to?

0:08:000:08:03

Well, I like playing golf.

0:08:030:08:05

I've just started playing that and really enjoy it.

0:08:050:08:07

-I was a golf widow for several years...

-I was going to ask.

0:08:070:08:11

So you've taken it up, having fought against it. You thought, "Well, actually, I might as well."

0:08:110:08:14

I thought, "If I can't beat 'em, join 'em."

0:08:140:08:16

-And you now know what it's all about.

-I actually love it. Yeah.

0:08:160:08:19

-I wish I'd started 20 years ago now.

-There we are.

0:08:190:08:22

-Now, Jane, what about these people on this board?

-OK.

0:08:220:08:25

Well, I know the first four.

0:08:250:08:27

I'm going to go with the tennis player -

0:08:270:08:29

the Spanish tennis player who won the record ninth French Open

0:08:290:08:32

in 2014 - and say Rafael Nadal.

0:08:320:08:34

Rafael Nadal, says Jane.

0:08:340:08:36

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rafael Nadal.

0:08:360:08:39

Is right.

0:08:410:08:43

31 is our high score,

0:08:430:08:45

till now! You double it.

0:08:450:08:47

62.

0:08:470:08:48

-62 for Nadal.

-Yeah, big score.

0:08:480:08:51

The undisputed king of clay, Rafa Nadal.

0:08:510:08:53

Won nine French Open titles in ten years.

0:08:530:08:56

Won all the other Grand Slam titles as well, at one point or another.

0:08:560:08:59

Thanks very much, Richard. Tim. Tim, remind us what you do.

0:08:590:09:03

I work at St Luke's, which is a school for kids

0:09:030:09:05

with behavioural difficulties in Swindon.

0:09:050:09:08

-I work with Drew.

-OK, how long have you been there?

0:09:080:09:10

-Three years.

-Three years?

0:09:100:09:12

And you say it's quite challenging but you find it very rewarding.

0:09:120:09:14

-It is rewarding.

-I bet. Yeah, it must be.

0:09:140:09:17

Now, Tim, what are your hobbies? What do you like doing?

0:09:170:09:20

I play in a veterans' football league with Drew.

0:09:200:09:22

Play for the Wootton Bassett Veterans.

0:09:220:09:25

Drew's our leading scorer, so that's good.

0:09:250:09:28

I do a lot of cycling, er...

0:09:280:09:31

-watch a lot of telly.

-Very good.

0:09:310:09:33

Now, Tim, this board's all yours. Talk us through it.

0:09:330:09:35

So, I think Abbey Clancy

0:09:350:09:37

is the dancing lady,

0:09:370:09:39

the pop singer was Lady Gaga

0:09:390:09:41

and I think Alex Turner

0:09:410:09:43

is the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys,

0:09:430:09:45

so I'm going to go with that.

0:09:450:09:46

Alex Turner. OK.

0:09:460:09:48

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Alex Turner.

0:09:480:09:50

It's right.

0:09:520:09:54

24.

0:09:580:10:00

24. Our second-lowest score

0:10:000:10:03

of the round so far.

0:10:030:10:04

Well played, Tim. Took us through the board nicely, as well.

0:10:040:10:07

He's the oldest on the board, Alex Turner. 6th of January.

0:10:070:10:10

Now, Abbey Clancy was the correct answer -

0:10:100:10:12

actually would have been an even better score.

0:10:120:10:14

It just would have scored 12 points.

0:10:140:10:16

The pop singer is Lady Gaga - that's a big scorer, as you'd imagine.

0:10:160:10:20

50 points. The best answer on the board is the snowboarder,

0:10:200:10:22

and his name is Shaun White.

0:10:220:10:25

He scored six points. Very well done if you said that.

0:10:250:10:27

Thanks. We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores quickly.

0:10:270:10:31

15 is our lowest score on the board. Well done, Beth.

0:10:310:10:34

Beth and Lianne looking good on the back of that. Then 24's

0:10:340:10:36

where we find Tim and Drew.

0:10:360:10:38

31, Sandeep and Mitch.

0:10:380:10:40

And then Jane and Steve, ahead there

0:10:400:10:42

on 62. So, Steve,

0:10:420:10:43

we need a low score from you.

0:10:430:10:45

We can't send you home at the end of this round. That can't happen again.

0:10:450:10:48

So, yes, good luck finding a nice low score.

0:10:480:10:50

We're going to come back down the line. Second players, please step up to the podium.

0:10:500:10:54

OK. Let's put seven more descriptions up on the board...

0:10:570:11:00

and here they are.

0:11:000:11:01

I'll read those all one last time.

0:11:350:11:37

There we are. Now, Drew, welcome back.

0:12:070:12:10

-Thank you.

-So, we discovered last time

0:12:100:12:12

that you work with and for Tim...

0:12:120:12:15

-No, not really FOR him, but he is your boss.

-He is my boss, yeah.

0:12:150:12:19

OK. When you're not at work, Drew, what do you get up to?

0:12:190:12:22

I perform as will.i.am in a tribute band -

0:12:220:12:25

-Black Eyed Peaz, with a Z.

-Now, how often do you perform as will.i.am?

0:12:250:12:28

We perform quite a lot. We go abroad.

0:12:280:12:30

We tour around the UK as well.

0:12:300:12:31

So, is this quite a major tribute band?

0:12:310:12:33

-Yeah, it's a big tribute band, yeah.

-What do you wear?

0:12:330:12:35

-Because he has quite distinctive clothes.

-Much to what he wears.

0:12:350:12:39

Aim is, we kind of go off what he wears and what the group wears.

0:12:390:12:42

-So, big glasses?

-Big glasses. Big hat.

0:12:420:12:44

So, it's a lot of work, I would say,

0:12:440:12:46

for will.i.am and Fergie in a Black Eyed Peas tribute band.

0:12:460:12:50

It seems to be less work for the other two - would that be right?

0:12:500:12:52

To be fair, we kind of complement the other two.

0:12:520:12:55

If we weren't there, they wouldn't have any work, so... Yeah.

0:12:550:12:58

Now, Drew, you're on 24.

0:12:580:13:01

-The high-scorers are Jane and Steve on 62, so 37 is your target.

-Yeah.

0:13:010:13:06

I know at least three of them.

0:13:060:13:08

I'm going to go for Welsh singer who released her debut album

0:13:080:13:11

-Voice Of An Angel - Charlotte Church.

-Charlotte Church, says Drew.

0:13:110:13:14

Here's your red line. If you get below this with Charlotte Church,

0:13:140:13:16

you're in the next round. How many people said it?

0:13:160:13:18

56.

0:13:260:13:27

APPLAUSE

0:13:270:13:30

-56 takes your total up to 80.

-Yeah, big score for Charlotte Church.

0:13:300:13:33

She was 12 years old, as you can work out,

0:13:330:13:35

when that album was released.

0:13:350:13:37

-Sold a lot of copies, too.

-Mm-mm.

0:13:370:13:39

Thank you. Now, Steve, welcome back.

0:13:390:13:42

Remind us what you get up to, Steve.

0:13:420:13:44

I'm a volunteer for, and I support people with,

0:13:440:13:48

functional neurological disorders.

0:13:480:13:50

It's a similar thing to what I've got

0:13:500:13:53

but, given my years of experience of it,

0:13:530:13:55

I'm able to help patients who are newly diagnosed,

0:13:550:13:59

give them experience,

0:13:590:14:00

help them out with any issues they've got, et cetera.

0:14:000:14:04

Invaluable. And what do you do when you're not doing that, Steve?

0:14:040:14:07

What do you like to get up to?

0:14:070:14:09

Well, I've got my family, which always keeps me busy.

0:14:090:14:12

I love photography.

0:14:120:14:14

Sort of getting out and about into the countryside, where possible.

0:14:140:14:19

-So, wildlife photographs, close-ups, action shots.

-OK.

0:14:190:14:25

Now, Steve, what would you like to go for? Your target is 17 or less.

0:14:260:14:30

Mm. Yes, unfortunately...

0:14:300:14:33

I'm struggling, I must admit, with this board

0:14:330:14:36

and the only other one I can think of is the second one down

0:14:360:14:40

being Usain Bolt.

0:14:400:14:42

Usain Bolt, says Steve.

0:14:420:14:45

Now, here's your red line.

0:14:450:14:47

Not as high as it could be, but let's see how far down the column

0:14:470:14:50

-you get with Usain Bolt.

-Not very.

0:14:500:14:52

It's right.

0:14:550:14:56

Oh, it's not bad. Not bad at all.

0:14:570:14:59

40...

0:14:590:15:01

taking your total up to 102.

0:15:010:15:03

And that's the quickest that's ever come down to 40, as well.

0:15:060:15:08

-Spotted that.

-Very impressive. Six gold medals.

0:15:080:15:11

First man ever to defend both sprint titles at an Olympics, as well.

0:15:110:15:14

There we are. Thanks, Richard.

0:15:140:15:15

-Lianne.

-Hello.

-Welcome to Pointless.

0:15:150:15:18

Good to have you here. What do you do, Lianne?

0:15:180:15:20

I am a features writer for women's magazines -

0:15:200:15:23

Chat and Pick Me Up!

0:15:230:15:25

-Are there any people who read both magazines?

-Yeah, I imagine so.

0:15:250:15:28

-That's annoying, otherwise you could write the same thing in slightly different words.

-Write them twice!

0:15:280:15:32

-I'm not allowed to do that, unfortunately.

-Oh, no. That's terrible.

0:15:320:15:35

What do you do when you're not writing?

0:15:350:15:37

-I like to watch films, TV. I like to run, read.

-Brilliant.

0:15:370:15:43

-All of these are good things.

-All of these good things. Yes.

0:15:430:15:45

All of them good. Listen, you're on 15 -

0:15:450:15:47

lovely low score from Beth in the first pass -

0:15:470:15:49

-which means 86 or less gets you through.

-I know, pressure's on.

0:15:490:15:52

OK, I know a few, but I think

0:15:520:15:55

I'm going to go for the X Factor runner-up in 2010

0:15:550:15:58

is Rebecca Ferguson.

0:15:580:16:00

Rebecca Ferguson.

0:16:000:16:02

There is your red line, coming onto the column right now.

0:16:020:16:05

Get below that with Rebecca Ferguson, you're into Round Two.

0:16:050:16:08

It's right, and you are through.

0:16:100:16:12

Good answer. 18.

0:16:160:16:18

33 is your total.

0:16:190:16:21

Well played, Lianne. That's a good answer.

0:16:220:16:24

-Yeah, both of those two beat One Direction, of course.

-Yeah.

0:16:240:16:27

-Whatever happened to them?

-Pfft!

0:16:270:16:30

-Yeah.

-She's got an amazing voice.

-She has.

0:16:300:16:32

Absolutely brilliant, Rebecca, yeah. Now, Mitch...

0:16:320:16:35

Mitch, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.

0:16:350:16:38

-What do you do, Mitch?

-I'm a medical student in Sheffield.

0:16:380:16:41

And how far through your medical studenting are you?

0:16:410:16:44

-Four years down, two to go.

-Two to go.

0:16:440:16:46

-Do you know what sort of doctor you want to be when...?

-Not really.

0:16:460:16:50

-Apart from a very good one, obviously.

-Obviously, yeah.

0:16:500:16:53

I've ruled some things out but there's quite a long list to...

0:16:530:16:56

What are we seeing off? What are we writing off at this stage?

0:16:560:16:58

-Surgery's gone.

-Yeah, surgery.

0:16:580:17:00

-Is it because every time you take blood, you go, "Eurgh"?

-Yeah.

0:17:000:17:04

Yeah, that's it.

0:17:040:17:05

-So surgery's gone.

-It's a lot of standing around.

0:17:050:17:08

It's a lot of standing around. Maybe they...

0:17:080:17:10

I'm surprised they don't get little stools in surgery. Quite cool.

0:17:100:17:13

Little swivel stools. Be fun, that.

0:17:130:17:16

-Like a little shooting stick.

-Whee! But on wheels.

0:17:160:17:19

-That's very good.

-Scalpel. Zip. Zip. Zhoop!

-That's really good.

0:17:190:17:25

-You should work as a mime in Covent Garden.

-Oh, I do.

0:17:250:17:28

-What do you mean, "should"?

-Do you know what you should do?

0:17:280:17:31

Genuinely, you should be one of those statues.

0:17:310:17:33

You know those pretend statues

0:17:330:17:34

that just stand there and don't move and don't say anything?

0:17:340:17:37

Do that every show.

0:17:370:17:38

LAUGHTER

0:17:380:17:41

I'd love that.

0:17:410:17:42

Now, Mitch, there you are - you're on 31.

0:17:430:17:45

70 is your goal. 70.

0:17:450:17:48

Talk us through the board, fill in all the blanks.

0:17:480:17:51

OK, I think the top one's

0:17:510:17:52

Ellie Goulding.

0:17:520:17:53

I think the Transformers actress

0:17:540:17:57

was Megan Fox.

0:17:570:17:59

The actress from Quantum Of Solace

0:17:590:18:00

was Gemma Arterton.

0:18:000:18:01

And then the only England cricketer I can think of with those initials

0:18:010:18:05

is Stuart Broad.

0:18:050:18:07

-I'll go with Gemma Arterton for Quantum Of Solace.

-Gemma Arterton.

0:18:070:18:11

OK. Here is your red line.

0:18:110:18:13

Get below that red line, you are into Round Two.

0:18:130:18:15

Let's see how many of our 100 said Gemma Arterton.

0:18:150:18:18

It's right.

0:18:190:18:21

You're through to Round Two. Very well done.

0:18:220:18:25

13.

0:18:260:18:28

13, which is our lowest score of the round,

0:18:290:18:31

so very well done. Takes your total up to 44.

0:18:310:18:34

You took us through the board beautifully and actually got the lowest score...

0:18:340:18:37

Of the ones you were certain of, you got the lowest score.

0:18:370:18:40

Because Ellie Goulding, up the top there,

0:18:400:18:42

it was right but would have scored you 29.

0:18:420:18:46

Megan Fox was right as well. Would have scored you 21.

0:18:460:18:50

And if you'd risked Stuart Broad, you would have got the best answer

0:18:500:18:53

on the board, cos it is him, and would have scored you 10.

0:18:530:18:56

Strawberry Fields.

0:18:560:18:58

HE SCOFFS

0:18:580:19:00

-As a name?

-As a name for a Bond character.

0:19:000:19:03

I would've thought Penny Lane would be better.

0:19:030:19:06

I've never sat down and written a Bond script so I can't...

0:19:060:19:08

I can't criticise, but...

0:19:080:19:10

-Yeah.

-..it's rubbish.

0:19:100:19:12

I have only written one.

0:19:130:19:15

-Oh, Dr No. One of the best.

-No, no.

0:19:150:19:17

I did Quantum Of Solace. That was mine.

0:19:170:19:20

LAUGHTER

0:19:200:19:21

-Ah, well. Onwards and upwards, eh?

-There it is. There it is.

0:19:250:19:29

Thanks very much.

0:19:290:19:30

Well, at the end of our first round, I'm so sorry, Jane and Steve.

0:19:300:19:34

I said this mustn't happen

0:19:340:19:35

and I'm afraid it has come to pass.

0:19:350:19:37

Jane and Steve, you are

0:19:370:19:38

our high-scorers at the end of this round.

0:19:380:19:40

102 is not that high, but...

0:19:400:19:42

-Halved our score from last time.

-Yeah.

0:19:420:19:44

-Well, there you are. Exactly.

-We like to be the support act, so...

0:19:440:19:47

Well, you have been, and wonderfully, but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.

0:19:470:19:51

Thank you so much for playing, Jane and Steve.

0:19:510:19:53

APPLAUSE

0:19:530:19:55

But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:560:19:59

Well done, everyone. Welcome to Round Two.

0:20:050:20:08

Only one more round to go until you can start conferring,

0:20:080:20:11

which I think is good.

0:20:110:20:12

Well, Mitch, lovely low score there.

0:20:120:20:14

Lowest score of the round and, in fact,

0:20:140:20:16

lowest combined score on our first podium there.

0:20:160:20:18

Our category for Round Two today is US Television.

0:20:180:20:22

US Television.

0:20:220:20:24

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:20:240:20:26

who's going to go second?

0:20:260:20:27

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:270:20:30

OK, and the question concerns...

0:20:330:20:36

US TV Crime Shows.

0:20:360:20:39

US TV Crime Shows. Richard.

0:20:390:20:40

Yes, in a moment, Xander's going to show you a list of six different

0:20:400:20:43

US TV crime shows of different eras.

0:20:430:20:45

We need you to tell us any actor who appeared in ten or more episodes

0:20:450:20:48

of any of these, please, according to IMDb.

0:20:480:20:51

So, ten or more episodes of any of the shows you are about to see.

0:20:510:20:54

-Very best of luck.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:20:540:20:56

So, as Richard's mentioned,

0:20:560:20:57

we're going to put six crime shows up on the board

0:20:570:21:00

and we just need anyone who's been in ten or more episodes of these.

0:21:000:21:02

And they are...

0:21:020:21:05

Now, then, Sandeep, what would you like to go for?

0:21:210:21:27

A different question, maybe.

0:21:270:21:28

LAUGHTER

0:21:280:21:30

I literally have no idea.

0:21:320:21:34

I know the name of the character in Magnum PI

0:21:340:21:36

but I can't remember his name for the life of me - so, obviously,

0:21:360:21:39

it's useless information, that.

0:21:390:21:40

I like that you know the name of the character.

0:21:400:21:43

Yes, well, I'm know the actor but I don't know his name.

0:21:430:21:46

Can I hazard a guess at Gillian Anderson?

0:21:460:21:49

Gillian Anderson. Is it right?

0:21:490:21:50

How many people said it?

0:21:500:21:52

Oh, I'm sorry, Sandeep.

0:21:550:21:56

Not a bad guess to be throwing out, though.

0:21:560:21:58

I'm afraid a wrong one, though.

0:21:580:22:00

It scores you 100 points. Sorry.

0:22:000:22:02

Yeah, sorry, X-Files probably her most famous US TV series.

0:22:020:22:05

Thanks, Richard. Now, Lianne.

0:22:050:22:07

I was hoping they were going to be a bit more current,

0:22:070:22:10

because I watch a lot of current crime shows, but...

0:22:100:22:13

We just... We're old, so we watch lots of old ones. Yeah.

0:22:130:22:16

I have one, which is a little bit of a guess,

0:22:170:22:20

and I have one that I think I know.

0:22:200:22:22

So I don't know what to do.

0:22:220:22:24

I think I'll go Farrah Fawcett.

0:22:240:22:27

Farrah Fawcett, says Lianne.

0:22:270:22:29

Farrah Fawcett. Beth likes that very much.

0:22:290:22:31

Let's see if it's right,

0:22:310:22:33

let's see how many of our 100 people said Farrah Fawcett.

0:22:330:22:35

It's right.

0:22:380:22:39

39.

0:22:430:22:44

-39 for Farrah Fawcett.

-Well played, Lianne.

0:22:470:22:49

Yeah, she plays Jill in Charlie's Angels.

0:22:490:22:51

Farrah Fawcett, or Farrah Fawcett-Majors.

0:22:510:22:54

There we are. Now, Tim.

0:22:540:22:55

I'll go with Diana Rigg.

0:22:550:22:58

Diana Rigg, says Tim. Diana Rigg.

0:22:580:23:01

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that, let's see if it's right.

0:23:010:23:04

Oh, Tim.

0:23:070:23:09

Not Diana Rigg.

0:23:090:23:11

I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.

0:23:110:23:13

I think you're thinking of The Avengers, there, Tim.

0:23:130:23:16

-Not Charlie's Angels.

-Thanks, Richard.

0:23:160:23:17

Well, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look

0:23:170:23:20

at those scores. Only two scores between the three pairs.

0:23:200:23:22

39 is the best of those scores. Lianne, well done.

0:23:220:23:25

Lianne and Beth I think are looking like pretty strong contenders

0:23:250:23:28

for the head-to-head.

0:23:280:23:29

But Tim, Drew, Sandeep and Mitch, you are all tied on 100.

0:23:290:23:33

So, Drew and Mitch, it's between you.

0:23:330:23:35

One pair will be staying, one pair will be leaving. Best of luck.

0:23:350:23:38

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:23:380:23:39

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:390:23:42

Now, Drew.

0:23:440:23:45

You know what we need here. Your survival depends on a low score.

0:23:470:23:50

I've only got two answers, to be fair.

0:23:520:23:53

So, I'm going to go...

0:23:550:23:57

..Dick Van Dyke.

0:23:580:24:00

Dick Van Dyke, says Drew.

0:24:000:24:02

There is no red line for you as you are tied high-scorers.

0:24:020:24:06

Dick Van Dyke. Let's see if it's right,

0:24:060:24:08

let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:24:080:24:10

It's right.

0:24:120:24:14

30.

0:24:170:24:18

Lowest scorer so far, Drew. Well done.

0:24:200:24:22

130 is your total.

0:24:220:24:24

Nicely played, Drew.

0:24:240:24:25

Of course, he stars in Diagnosis Murder - helps out the LAPD.

0:24:250:24:28

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:24:280:24:31

Now, Beth, this is marvellous - you score 90 or less and you go through.

0:24:310:24:35

Yeah. Again, I was hoping it would be more current.

0:24:350:24:39

I had two answers - one of them was taken by Drew.

0:24:390:24:42

I'm going to go with Angela Lansbury.

0:24:440:24:47

Angela Lansbury, says Beth. Here's your red line, lovely and high.

0:24:470:24:52

Get below that the red line and you're into the next round.

0:24:520:24:54

How many people said Angela Lansbury?

0:24:540:24:56

It's right and through you go. Very well done indeed. Good answer.

0:24:580:25:02

39, it scores.

0:25:020:25:04

Exactly the same as Leanne's score on the first pass,

0:25:040:25:07

taking your total up to 78.

0:25:070:25:09

Well done, Beth. Of course, she plays Jessica Fletcher.

0:25:090:25:11

264 episode of Murder She Wrote.

0:25:110:25:14

264!

0:25:140:25:16

I love them when they repeat them, though.

0:25:160:25:18

Sometimes they have them on at the weekend or in the mornings.

0:25:180:25:21

You turn it on and you can't turn it off. That or Colombo.

0:25:210:25:25

Brilliant.

0:25:250:25:26

Now, Mitch, you have a target.

0:25:260:25:28

It is 29. 29 or less, Mitch.

0:25:280:25:32

The only one I was certain of was Dick Van Dyke and that's gone.

0:25:320:25:37

So it's going to have to be well in the realms of guessing now.

0:25:370:25:40

I'm going to guess Tom Selleck.

0:25:420:25:44

-Tom Selleck?

-Yep.

-With a shrug.

0:25:460:25:49

A complete shot in the dark. OK, there we are. There's your red line.

0:25:490:25:52

If you get below that with Tom Selleck, you're into the next round.

0:25:520:25:55

Let's see how many people said Tom Selleck.

0:25:550:25:57

It's right!

0:25:590:26:01

Is it going to go below the red line?

0:26:030:26:04

It's not, I'm afraid. 43.

0:26:040:26:06

143 is your total.

0:26:060:26:09

Still, you deftly avoided scoring 100 there.

0:26:090:26:14

Yeah, absolutely.

0:26:140:26:15

It's those shots in the dark...

0:26:150:26:17

It's obviously in your head, you obviously knew it somewhere.

0:26:170:26:20

Now, lots of pointless answers here. Let's take a look at a few of them.

0:26:200:26:23

I know some people would have got this first one

0:26:230:26:25

cos Starsky & Hutch, who plays the Captain? Bernie Hamilton.

0:26:250:26:28

Very well done if you said that.

0:26:280:26:29

David Berman plays Super Dave on CSI.

0:26:290:26:32

Delores Hall plays Delores on Diagnosis Murder.

0:26:320:26:35

A couple of Magnum PIs now.

0:26:350:26:37

You could have had...

0:26:370:26:39

Louise Lombard is CSI.

0:26:400:26:42

Murder She Wrote - Michael Horton. Shane Van Dyke...

0:26:420:26:44

One of the many Van Dykes who were in Diagnosis Murder.

0:26:440:26:47

Barry Van Dyke also was in it, would have scored you five points.

0:26:470:26:50

Tanya Roberts from Charlie's Angels.

0:26:500:26:52

I'll take you through some of the big scorers.

0:26:520:26:54

We had the biggest scorer for Charlie's Angels,

0:26:540:26:56

that was Farrah Fawcett. Kate Jackson would have scored you 12,

0:26:560:26:59

Cheryl Ladd 10 and Jaclyn Smith 7.

0:26:590:27:00

Crimes Scene Investigation's William Petersen

0:27:000:27:02

would have scored you eight.

0:27:020:27:03

Ted Danson would have scored you five.

0:27:030:27:06

Let's take a look at Diagnosis Murder.

0:27:060:27:08

In fact, Dick Van Dyke and Barry Van Dyke were the highest scorers there.

0:27:080:27:11

In Magnum PI, there was only one scorer and that was Tom Selleck.

0:27:110:27:14

So everybody else was a pointless answer.

0:27:140:27:16

Murder She Wrote, apart from Angela Lansbury,

0:27:160:27:18

you could have had Tom Bosley, who would have scored you four.

0:27:180:27:21

Starsky & Hutch...

0:27:210:27:23

42 for David Soul.

0:27:230:27:25

13 for Paul Michael Glaser.

0:27:250:27:26

Huggy Bear, of course, Antonio Fargas,

0:27:260:27:28

would have scored you for four points.

0:27:280:27:30

Well done if you said that.

0:27:300:27:32

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:320:27:33

At the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair we're sending home

0:27:330:27:36

with a high score of 143 is Mitch and Sandeep.

0:27:360:27:39

It was quite tough. That was quite a tough round, that one.

0:27:390:27:42

You needed to have a pretty firm knowledge of your vintage shows,

0:27:420:27:45

I'd say. Anyway, we will see you again next time, Mitch and Sandeep.

0:27:450:27:48

I look forward to that very much indeed.

0:27:480:27:50

In the meantime, thanks very much playing. Mitch and Sandeep.

0:27:500:27:52

Time for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:550:27:59

Congratulations, Beth and Lianne, Tim and Drew.

0:28:040:28:06

You're now one step closer to the final and the chance to play

0:28:060:28:09

for that jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.

0:28:090:28:12

Now, you know what happens from here on in,

0:28:160:28:18

Tim and Drew certainly do, they've been here before.

0:28:180:28:20

You can start playing as teams,

0:28:200:28:21

you can chat before you give your answers.

0:28:210:28:23

First players to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:230:28:26

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:260:28:28

Here is your first question, and it is all about...

0:28:330:28:37

People ask for this a lot, it doesn't always come up.

0:28:420:28:45

-They really do.

-But today it has. People Eating Sandwiches.

0:28:450:28:48

We're going to show you five pictures now

0:28:480:28:49

of well-known people eating a sandwich.

0:28:490:28:51

All you need to do is tell us what is in the sandwich, please.

0:28:510:28:55

No, hold on. We need you to tell us who they are, please.

0:28:560:28:59

Who is eating the sandwich?

0:28:590:29:01

OK, let's reveal our sandwich eaters. We've got...

0:29:010:29:03

There we are, five sandwiches being eaten by five people.

0:29:300:29:33

Beth and Lianne, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.

0:29:330:29:35

(D is Kim Cattrall.)

0:29:370:29:39

(C is...Rochelle Humes.)

0:29:390:29:42

(I thought that as soon as I saw it.)

0:29:420:29:45

(Let's just do it.)

0:29:450:29:46

We're going to take a risk for C, Michelle...

0:29:460:29:51

-Rochelle.

-Rochelle Humes.

0:29:510:29:53

Rochelle Humes.

0:29:530:29:56

Rochelle Humes, say Beth and Leanne.

0:29:560:29:59

Now, Tim and Drew, over to you.

0:29:590:30:01

-There's not a lot of talking through the board, really, is there?

-No.

0:30:010:30:04

We only know two.

0:30:040:30:06

-Do you want to go A or B?

-Just go B.

-Go A.

-Or go A.

0:30:060:30:10

-Go on, you say it.

-A, Jerry Springer.

-A, Jerry Springer.

0:30:100:30:13

So we have Rochelle Humes and we have Jerry Springer.

0:30:130:30:16

Beth and Lianne went for Rochelle Humes, C.

0:30:160:30:18

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:30:180:30:21

It's right.

0:30:240:30:26

15 for Rochelle.

0:30:300:30:32

There we are. Now, Tim and Drew, that's what you have to beat

0:30:370:30:39

with Jerry Springer, which you have identified as A. Let's see if

0:30:390:30:43

that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jerry Springer.

0:30:430:30:45

It's right.

0:30:480:30:49

58.

0:30:510:30:52

Very well done indeed, Beth and Lianne.

0:30:550:30:57

-After one question, you are up 1-0.

-Yes, good answer. Rochelle Humes.

0:30:570:31:01

-Hard to eat a sandwich, right?

-It's very hard.

0:31:010:31:02

No-one wants to be photographed eating a sandwich.

0:31:020:31:05

-No, never.

-As Rochelle Humes shows.

0:31:050:31:06

Been photographed holding a sandwich.

0:31:060:31:08

Do you know what, she, of all our sandwichees, looks good.

0:31:080:31:12

She looked untroubled by the sandwich.

0:31:120:31:15

She is absolutely on top of that sandwich.

0:31:150:31:16

Let's take a look through the rest of these.

0:31:160:31:19

Ed Miliband would have scored you 84 points.

0:31:190:31:22

D is Kim Cattrall.

0:31:220:31:24

Would have scored 25. That's difficult.

0:31:260:31:28

And that's Mother's Pride she's eating there.

0:31:280:31:30

And even that looks difficult. And then eating a Philly steak sandwich.

0:31:300:31:34

-This is the best answer on the board.

-This is Al Gore.

0:31:340:31:36

Al Gore, would have scored you 10 points.

0:31:360:31:38

Amazingly low score for Al Gore.

0:31:380:31:40

I will say one thing for Rochelle Humes.

0:31:400:31:42

I think it wouldn't have killed her sandwich to have perhaps been

0:31:420:31:45

in the oven a bit longer.

0:31:450:31:47

I think she's made that out of one of those uncooked baguettes.

0:31:470:31:50

She's taken one mouthful there,

0:31:500:31:52

she's looking at the car window to see where she can just chuck it.

0:31:520:31:56

She's looking at the guy in charge of on-set catering.

0:31:580:32:01

Saying, "I think this was an uncooked baguette."

0:32:010:32:04

But she's not doing it in a horrible way because she's very polite.

0:32:040:32:06

She's very nice, Rochelle.

0:32:060:32:08

There we are. Here is your second question.

0:32:080:32:11

Tim and Drew, you get to answer this one first,

0:32:110:32:13

but you have to win to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:32:130:32:15

It is all about...

0:32:150:32:18

Jim CAR-rey films.

0:32:180:32:21

Yes, we're going to show you the initials now of five titles

0:32:210:32:24

of Jim CARREY films.

0:32:240:32:25

-Can you tell us the most obscure of these?

-Jim CARREY, that's right.

0:32:250:32:28

I knew that sounded weird. Jim Carrey, forgive me. Jim, forgive me.

0:32:280:32:33

The initials of Jim CARREY'S films and here they are, we've got...

0:32:330:32:36

Tim and Drew, over to you.

0:32:530:32:55

(The Cable Guy's number one.)

0:32:560:32:59

(OK, we'll go with that one.)

0:32:590:33:02

We will take the top one and The Cable Guy.

0:33:020:33:05

The Cable Guy, say Tim Andrew, The Cable Guy.

0:33:050:33:08

Beth and Lianne, it's over to you.

0:33:080:33:10

Talk us through as much of that as you can.

0:33:100:33:12

Well, we think the second one is I Love You Paul something,

0:33:120:33:17

but we can't get the M.

0:33:170:33:19

-Philip.

-Philip... Oh, I know it.

0:33:190:33:21

The second to bottom is Liar, Liar.

0:33:230:33:26

The bottom one is Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

0:33:260:33:29

-The third one is Dumb And Dumber.

-The second one, I know,

0:33:290:33:33

is I Love You, Philip Morris.

0:33:330:33:36

So we'll go with that one.

0:33:360:33:37

You're going to go for I Love You, Philip Morris.

0:33:370:33:39

OK, so we have The Cable Guy and I Love You, Philip Morris.

0:33:390:33:42

Tim and Drew said The Cable Guy for TCG,

0:33:420:33:44

let's see how many of our 100 spotted that.

0:33:440:33:46

It's right.

0:33:490:33:50

22.

0:33:550:33:56

22.

0:33:590:34:00

Now, Beth and Lianne have gone for I Love You, Philip Morris.

0:34:000:34:03

Let's see if that's right,

0:34:030:34:04

let's see how many of our 100 people spotted that one.

0:34:040:34:06

It's right.

0:34:080:34:09

And it wins you the point, look at that. Eight.

0:34:140:34:17

Very well done, Beth and Lianne.

0:34:170:34:19

That means, after only two questions,

0:34:190:34:21

you're straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:34:210:34:23

Very well played, Beth and Lianne, terrific answer.

0:34:230:34:25

-It's quite a weird film, I Love You, Philip Morris.

-I haven't seen it.

0:34:250:34:28

Based on a true story.

0:34:280:34:30

You were right about the other three,

0:34:300:34:31

and you chose the right one, actually,

0:34:310:34:33

with I Love You, Philip Morris.

0:34:330:34:34

Dumb And Dumber would have scored you 41.

0:34:340:34:38

Liar, Liar would have scored 34,

0:34:380:34:42

and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, down at the bottom there,

0:34:420:34:45

would have scored 11.

0:34:450:34:47

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:34:470:34:49

So, at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid the pair leaving

0:34:490:34:53

us, I'm so sorry, Tim and Drew, twice through to the head-to-head.

0:34:530:34:57

Two very good performances across the show.

0:34:570:34:59

But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye to you,

0:34:590:35:02

finally, but it's been great having you on.

0:35:020:35:04

Thank you so much for playing, Tim and Drew. Great contestants.

0:35:040:35:06

APPLAUSE

0:35:060:35:08

But for Beth and Lianne, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:090:35:13

Many congratulations, Beth, Lianne, you've seen off all the

0:35:180:35:20

competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:200:35:23

Yay!

0:35:230:35:25

Now is your chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:310:35:33

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.

0:35:330:35:36

Well, lowest scorers in Round One, lowest scorers in Round Two,

0:35:400:35:43

2-0 in the head-to-head.

0:35:430:35:45

-I mean, that's a winning trajectory, I think.

-Lucky categories.

0:35:450:35:49

Well, maybe.

0:35:490:35:50

If your luck is going to hold, what would you like to see on this board?

0:35:500:35:54

Anything to do with music, films, '90s music.

0:35:540:35:58

OK, best of luck, let's see what's on the board today,

0:35:580:36:02

and hope there's something you like up there.

0:36:020:36:05

Today's selection reads like this.

0:36:050:36:07

I would say that's exactly what you wanted, isn't it?

0:36:130:36:16

I've never heard of the top one. Diamonds could be anything.

0:36:160:36:20

I think we are going to have to go TV.

0:36:200:36:22

It might be actors, let's go for TV.

0:36:220:36:24

Contemporary British TV drama.

0:36:240:36:26

-OK, Rich.

-OK, three brilliant TV dramas now.

0:36:260:36:29

We need you to tell us anybody who's appeared in at least

0:36:290:36:33

two episodes of the first two series of The Fall,

0:36:330:36:36

we're looking for anyone who's appeared at all in the first series

0:36:360:36:41

of Happy Valley, or anyone who's appeared at all in the first

0:36:410:36:45

three series of Last Tango In Halifax, please.

0:36:450:36:47

So, two episodes or more of The Fall,

0:36:470:36:50

or anyone who's appeared in any episodes of Happy Valley

0:36:500:36:53

or the first three series of Last Tango In Halifax.

0:36:530:36:57

That's all according to IMDb.

0:36:570:36:58

-Very best of luck.

-Thanks very much.

0:36:580:37:00

Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

0:37:000:37:02

three answers, and all you need to win the jackpot is for just one

0:37:020:37:05

of your answers to be pointless.

0:37:050:37:06

-Are you ready?

-I think so.

0:37:060:37:08

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:080:37:10

There they are, your time starts now.

0:37:100:37:12

-I have no idea.

-I haven't watched any of them.

-Never seen any of them.

0:37:120:37:15

Who plays Neville Longbottom,

0:37:150:37:16

-because I think he's in Last Tango In Paris?

-Oh!

0:37:160:37:18

Last Tango In Halifax.

0:37:180:37:20

We'll keep thinking of that one.

0:37:200:37:22

Cast of The Fall, Gillian Anderson.

0:37:220:37:26

From the X-Files? Gillian Anderson.

0:37:260:37:28

I've never seen Happy Valley. We're going to have to guess.

0:37:280:37:33

Any ex-soap star that would have, like, gone across to it.

0:37:330:37:37

What about James Nesbitt, something like that, somebody who was in...?

0:37:370:37:40

-Happy Valley.

-Yeah.

0:37:400:37:43

-Yeah, maybe.

-And Neville... His name's evading me.

0:37:430:37:47

He was on the radio the other week cos he's also in that one about war.

0:37:470:37:52

Maybe that's what I've seen.

0:37:520:37:54

Oh, perhaps...

0:37:540:37:56

-So we've got James Nesbitt, Gillian Anderson, what's she in?

-The Fall.

0:37:560:38:00

-The Fall.

-10 seconds left.

-Any other British crime...?

0:38:000:38:05

OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.

0:38:120:38:14

Let's have your three answers, what're you going to go for?

0:38:140:38:16

If you could say which category you're answering for,

0:38:160:38:18

-that'd be great.

-OK, we will go for The Fall, James Nesbitt.

0:38:180:38:21

-James Nesbitt.

-The Fall, Gillian Anderson.

-Gillian Anderson.

0:38:210:38:25

James Nesbitt for Happy Valley cos we can't think of anything else.

0:38:250:38:28

James Nesbitt. Now, of those three,

0:38:280:38:30

which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:300:38:32

Probably the only one that's right, which is Gillian Anderson,

0:38:320:38:35

which is The Fall.

0:38:350:38:36

I thought we were going to have a James Nesbitt sandwich there.

0:38:360:38:39

We're going to have to put Gillian Anderson last and then James Nesbitt

0:38:390:38:42

and James Nesbitt.

0:38:420:38:43

Which of the James Nesbitts did you want to be least likely?

0:38:430:38:46

Happy Valley.

0:38:460:38:48

So, James Nesbitt in Happy Valley at the top, James Nesbitt in The Fall

0:38:480:38:51

second, and then Gillian Anderson in The Fall third.

0:38:510:38:54

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order,

0:38:540:38:57

then, and here they are.

0:38:570:38:58

We've got James Nesbitt, we've got James Nesbitt,

0:38:580:39:01

and we've got Gillian Anderson.

0:39:010:39:03

Well, very, very best of luck.

0:39:030:39:05

Three answers on the board there, one of them might turn out to

0:39:050:39:09

be pointless, you never know, it just might.

0:39:090:39:11

-Maybe.

-It just might.

0:39:110:39:12

What would you do with your £2,000 if that were to happen?

0:39:120:39:15

It probably won't happen, but I need to redecorate our living room,

0:39:150:39:20

it would pay for a good chunk of that.

0:39:200:39:22

-Lianne.

-I'm getting married in the summer,

0:39:220:39:24

so perhaps put it towards a honeymoon.

0:39:240:39:26

Very good. Well, congratulations.

0:39:260:39:28

Three answers on the board, as I say.

0:39:280:39:30

In the first instance, we were looking for cast members of

0:39:300:39:32

The Fall and you've gone for James Nesbitt.

0:39:320:39:34

Let's see if it's right, let's see if it's pointless.

0:39:340:39:37

If it's both of those things, it will win you £2,000.

0:39:370:39:39

First, though, let's see if it's right. James Nesbitt.

0:39:390:39:42

No. I'm afraid James Nesbitt, an incorrect answer in that case.

0:39:450:39:50

Your next answer was James Nesbitt.

0:39:500:39:53

In this case, we were looking for the cast of Happy Valley.

0:39:530:39:57

Again, it has to be right,

0:39:570:39:58

then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £2,000.

0:39:580:40:02

Let's see how many people said James Nesbitt.

0:40:020:40:04

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

0:40:060:40:08

Not James Nesbitt. However, we now move on to more solid ground here.

0:40:080:40:12

Your third and final answer was Gillian Anderson.

0:40:120:40:14

In this case we were looking, again, for cast members of The Fall.

Let's find out how many people said Gillian Anderson.

0:40:170:40:20

If it's pointless, it will win the £2,000.

0:40:200:40:22

It's right.

0:40:250:40:26

James Nesbitt, your first answer, was incorrect.

0:40:270:40:30

James Nesbitt in Happy Valley, the second answer, was incorrect.

0:40:300:40:34

25.

0:40:370:40:38

25. Well...

0:40:400:40:42

It was right.

0:40:420:40:44

Very hard to pluck names out of thin air.

0:40:440:40:46

But, you know, those were good guesses.

0:40:460:40:48

James Nesbitt would be brilliant casting in either of those.

0:40:480:40:51

I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless

0:40:510:40:54

answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000,

0:40:540:40:57

that will roll over onto the next show.

0:40:570:40:59

But you have been brilliant across the show, as I said earlier.

0:40:590:41:01

And you get a Pointless trophy to take home, so very, very well done.

0:41:010:41:05

Yes, very well played, Beth and Lianne.

0:41:100:41:12

Now, there was one bit of good news and that is you've genuinely

0:41:120:41:15

got some amazing box sets to be catching up on,

0:41:150:41:17

cos all three of those series are huge hits, and all fantastic.

0:41:170:41:20

People who haven't watched them at home, I would really recommend them.

0:41:200:41:24

Let's start with The Fall.

0:41:240:41:26

Bronagh Waugh and Emmett J Scanlan, both from Hollyoaks as well,

0:41:310:41:33

they were both pointless answers.

0:41:330:41:35

Everybody in that apart from Gillian Anderson, Jamie Dornan

0:41:350:41:38

and Frank McCusker, everybody else was a pointless answer.

0:41:380:41:41

Well done if you said anybody else.

0:41:410:41:43

Happy Valley, which is an unbelievably good show,

0:41:430:41:46

with Sarah Lancashire in the main role.

0:41:460:41:48

Ramon Tikaram, also from This Life.

0:41:500:41:52

And Steve Pemberton, our old friend, has been on the show,

0:41:520:41:55

from League Of Gentlemen and all sorts of things, Benidorm,

0:41:550:41:58

he was also a pointless answer.

0:41:580:41:59

Everyone pointless in that apart from Sarah Lancashire and

0:41:590:42:03

James Norton, so any other answers would have won you the money.

0:42:030:42:05

Well done if you said something at home.

0:42:050:42:07

Now, Last Tango in Halifax. Four pointless answers.

0:42:070:42:09

Everyone pointless there apart from... There's a few more

0:42:130:42:16

scorers here. Sarah Lancashire again, scored 26.

0:42:160:42:18

Derek Jacobi, 19, Anne Reid, 14.

0:42:180:42:19

Then there's Nicola Walker with nine,

0:42:190:42:22

then one point for Timothy West. Louis Greatorex, Tony Gardner,

0:42:220:42:25

Dean Andrews, Nina Sosanya and Ronni Ancona

0:42:250:42:27

would have all scored you one point.

0:42:270:42:29

Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home.

0:42:290:42:31

And sorry you haven't seen any of those shows, but I envy you

0:42:310:42:33

being able to go away and watch them...if it's not too painful.

0:42:330:42:39

Thanks very much, Richard. Well, unfortunately we have to

0:42:390:42:42

say goodbye to you, Beth and Lianne,

0:42:420:42:43

but it's been wonderful having you on the show.

0:42:430:42:45

Thank you so much for playing. Beth and Lianne. Wonderful.

0:42:450:42:48

Well, very sadly, Beth and Lianne didn't win our jackpot today, which

0:42:510:42:54

means it rolls over to the next show when we'll be playing for £3,000.

0:42:540:42:57

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:42:570:42:59

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:42:590:43:02

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
