APPLAUSE | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
is to find the most obscure answer possible. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
And couple number one. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Hello, my name's Ellen. This is my mum, Julia, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
and we are from Hornsea in East Yorkshire. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Couple number two. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi, my name is Jake. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
This is my friend, Joe, from Bristol, and I'm from Cheltenham. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
-Couple number three. -Hello, my name is Brian. This is my wife, Fiona, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
and we're from Falkirk. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
And, finally, couple number four. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, my name is Mitch. I'm from Slough. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
And this is my friend, Sandeep, from London. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
And these are today's contestants. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show as it goes along. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
As well-liked as a photo of a newborn baby on Facebook, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. -Hiya. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Hi, everybody. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
You do feel duty-bound to press "like", don't you, when someone does that? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
You just have to. You can't not. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Even if it's the 700th baby you've seen that year. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-Yeah. -And even if you are thinking... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
"Whoa!" | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
That's the best photo you've got? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-Ah... -But you know what? I always think it's for your entire life. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
When I had pictures of my kids when they were babies, everyone was nice about them, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-so I shall be nice about other people's. -Pay it forward, Richard. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
They were all very kind to me. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
We must always be nice about other people's babies. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
There we are. We've learned something already. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Although when you showed me pictures of yours, I actually did like them. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-Ah! -Beautiful. So beautiful. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Gorgeous. Now, only one returning pair from the last show. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
That's Sandeep and Mitch, who got knocked out in Round Two. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
So a lot of unknown quantities on those first three podiums. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
-Should be fun, though, shouldn't it? -I think it should. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-You never know. -I think it should. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Beth and Lianne, by the way, didn't win the jackpot last time, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
so we add another £1,000 to that. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
So today's jackpot starts off... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
at £3,000. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Yeah. APPLAUSE | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Now, remember this, if nothing else, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
Just make sure you're not in that pair. Best of luck. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Our first category this afternoon is... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Michael Jackson. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
OK. And our Michael Jackson question concerns... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
Liberian Girl cameos, Richard. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Yeah, I have to say Michael Jackson and Liberian Girl are slight red herrings. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
Liberian Girl famously had lots of cameos from '80s stars in it. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
We're going to show you a picture of 15 different people now, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
all of whom had a cameo in the Liberian Girl video. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Can you identify any of the 15 people you're about to see? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
There we are. OK. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
So we're going to put up an image of 15 people. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
That will stay up for the whole round. We won't be changing it halfway through the round. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
We just need the name of anyone who's on this image. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
And here it is... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
There we go. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
So who are all these celebrity cameos? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Julia, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
a warm welcome to Pointless. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
What do you do, Julia? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
I'm a GP. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
-Where are you a GP? -I'm a GP in Beverley, in East Yorkshire. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
About half an hour from where we live. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
In Beverley. Is that a rural area, or is it a very...? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-Yeah, pretty much. -So quite a large area that you cover. -Yes. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
And how long have you been doing that? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
Oh, I've been a GP for about 15 years. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
But a doctor for a bit longer than that, so... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
I see. OK. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
And beside medicine, what do you get up to? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
I enjoy reading and film and theatre and travelling, yeah. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:17 | |
OK. Now, when you look at this board of faces, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
are you excited by that | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
or is it slightly scary prospect? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
I know a few of them. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Erm... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
I'm going to go with the man on the middle row, on the far right... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
..which I think is Richard Dreyfuss. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Dry-fuss? Dreyfuss. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Richard Dreyfuss. Sometimes people pronounce it Dry-fuss but, yes, Richard Dreyfuss. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Richard Dreyfuss. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
It's right. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Oh, that's a good answer. Look at that, Julia, very well done. 15. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Great start to the round, great start to the show. Richard Dreyfuss. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
Yeah, well played, Julia, very nice answer. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
From Jaws, Close Encounters, and won an Oscar for The Goodbye Girl, Richard Dreyfuss. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
-I'm going to say Dreyfuss. -I'll stay with Dreyfuss. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Dreyfuss. What do you think, Jake? Dreyfuss. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I've never heard of him. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
THEY MOUTH | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-Have you seen Jaws? -Jaws? Yeah, I've seen Jaws. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Steven Spielberg, is it, the film? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-Do you recognise him from Jaws? -No. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
"We're going to need a bigger boat." | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-Oh, the man with the gun! -He was the shark. He was the shark. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Now, Jake, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. What do you do, Jake? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
I am soon to be a primary school teacher. In September. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I thought you were going to say Prime Minister there. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
I was just thinking, "Wow!" | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-Primary school teacher starting in September? -Yeah. -Wow. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
So what were you doing before? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
I was working in residential care homes with children in childcare. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
Right you are. OK, so a bit of a move, but not a massive move, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-but a bit of a change. -Not massively. Age has gone down. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-Yeah. Looking forward to it? -Really looking forward to it, yeah. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
I've got a nice reception class. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Only eight pupils, as well, this year. -Wow. -Yeah. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Wow. But that's going to be interesting. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-Have you met any of the pupils coming...? -I have met them, yes. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Because it was a school I was training in during my PGCE year, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
so we've had some of the preschoolers come up into the classroom I was in, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-so I've had the opportunity to meet them. They're lovely. -Very nice indeed. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Now, Jake. This board. This board of people. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Yeah, I don't recognise a lot of them. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
I've never heard of Liberian girl. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Erm... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
One of them that I do recognise, though, is Paula Abdul. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
-Paula Abdul. -I'm hoping she's the first one on the second row. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Paula Abdul. There she is, we hope. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Well, let's see. Is it Paula Abdul and, if it is, how many people said Paula Abdul? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
It is Paula Abdul, Jake. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Beats 15, look at that, down to 10, a new low score. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Yeah, dancer, choreographer and singer Paula Abdul. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Absolutely right, first on the middle row. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Of course, you won't be called Jake for long, you'll be known by your surname for many years now. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
Even if you see your teachers from school now in the street, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
even from your primary school, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
you have to call them Mrs or Mr and whatever their name is. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-You could never call them by their first name. -No, never could. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
And however much you say, "No, no, no, call me Colin.! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
I said, "I don't think so! I'm not going to call you Colin, Mr Bumford!" | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Thanks very much. Now, Fiona, welcome to Pointless. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Great to have you here, too. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-What do you do? -I'm a freelance trainer consultant in the area of dementia, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
so I train staff who work with people who have dementia. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-And you're from Falkirk? -Yes. -So you work mainly in that sort of district? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
No, I work all over. No, I work all over the country, I go anywhere. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
And what are your interests, Fiona, what do you like getting up to? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I'm really into Pilates and yoga and into reading and writing. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
I've written a book and e-published it. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
What is your book, to start with? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Well, it's women's fiction, you know, it's the usual stuff. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-When did you finish it? -Years ago, actually. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
How's it done, how's it been? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
I think I made about £5.50. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
I think, you know, all in all, I'm happy with that. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Not bad. But have you been tempted back to the word processor? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
I do... I have got lots of bits of books started. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Lots and lots of bits of books. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
So I don't know whether they'll ever get finished. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
But it's very busy, life's very busy. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
So, yeah. So I'm hoping they will. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-Still, nice to have them there, anyway. -Thank you. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Now, Fiona, who are you going to go for on this board? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Dan Aykroyd, I think, is the guy down on the left at the bottom. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
You think Dan Aykroyd, bottom left. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dan Aykroyd. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
It does look like him. It is him! | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-Phew! -Phew! -Phew! | 0:09:02 | 0:09:03 | |
16. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
16. APPLAUSE | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Another very good answer. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Yes, star of the Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters and Trading Places. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
If you're going to star in three films... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
That's a great parting he's got there, isn't it? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
I mean, that's a Red Sea of a parting, isn't it? | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
It really is, yes. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
OK. Thank you. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Now... So, Mitch. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Welcome back. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-Mitch, remind us what you do. -I'm a medical student in Sheffield. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
A medical student in Sheffield. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Have you been doing all your training in Sheffield? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-Yeah, and the surrounding towns. -And the surrounding towns. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Are you enjoying Sheffield? -Yeah, it's great, yes. -Fabulous place. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
And what do you like getting up to when you're not doing your training? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
Usual things, watch TV and films, collect records. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
-Vinyl? -Yeah. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
How big's your collection? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
It's quite modest. I'd say at the moment, about 150. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
But fun, though. Lots of people are going back to vinyl. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
-Yeah, big time, yeah. -Yeah, exciting. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
Now, Mitch, what would you like to go for on this board? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
There's few I think are going to be quite high. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
I'm going to go with Olivia Newton-John. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Olivia Newton-John, says Mitch. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Olivia Newton-John. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
It's right. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
18. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
18 for Olivia Newton-John. APPLAUSE | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
Yeah, there she is in the second row, in black and white. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
One of only two people who elected to do that. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
Exactly. And we had phoned every single one of these people up before the show and said, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
"Would you like to be in colour or black and white?" | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-BAD AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: -She said, "Black and white, please." | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Of course! I forget she's South African, isn't she? She's er... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
There we are. Thanks very much indeed. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
10, well done, Jake. The best score of the pass so far. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Then we travel up to 15, Julia and Ellen. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
16, Fiona and Brian. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
And 18, Mitch and Sandeep. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
So really very, very close. Nice little family scoreboard there. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
But, Sandeep, you are at the top of that family. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
We need a low score from you in the next pass. So good luck with that. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
OK, Sandeep, welcome back. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-Remind us what you do? -I'm a planner at a content agency. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
so I mostly do research type stuff. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
-You particularly like paint. -Yes, definitely. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Mainly because it's an excuse to travel to Amsterdam. -Hopefully. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
I'm not even sure I'd be able to if I get on that account, but that's the plan anyway. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-Oh, so you haven't even joined the paint camp yet? -No, not yet. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-When will you discover? -In the next few weeks, probably. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
-Is that up to the paint people or the people your end? -I think it's up to the people my end. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
OK. Well, good luck for the paint. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Sandeep, tell us what else you like getting up to. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
I really like live music. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
I try to go to at least two or three gigs a month. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
That's good going. Around London? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Around London mostly now, but I went to university in Sussex, in Brighton, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
which also had a pretty lively scene, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
so I occasionally go back down to Brighton because it's slightly cheaper there, as well. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
Very good indeed. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
Now, there you are on 18. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
We need a low score, Sandeep. So who are all these celebrity cameos? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:29 | |
I know a few, but they're probably going to be really high-scorers. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
There's one which I think I know, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
but I might have also mixed up his real name | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
for the name of the character in The Simpsons who parodies him. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
I'm going to go for Don King. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Don King. Don King, says Sandeep. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers, | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
but let's see how far down the column we get with Don King. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
It's absolutely right, Don King. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Oh, 23. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
A big score, though, for Don, taking your total up to 41. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
Yeah, boxing promoter, extraordinary career for lots of reasons, Don King. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
We've almost got a bingo line on our middle line, now. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
-Oh, we have! -Very, very close. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:14 | |
Very, very close indeed. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Now, Brian, welcome. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
What do you do, Brian? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
I'm a service user involvement worker, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
so I work with vulnerable people | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
who receive support in order to give them a voice in the organisation, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
because it is important that what they want within the organisation is heard. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
So that's basically what I do. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
OK. Now, I'm deducing that you're not, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
neither of you are from Falkirk originally. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
So what took you up there? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
We've travelled a fair bit around England, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
in various parts of England, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
and then we went from Cambridgeshire to New Zealand, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
where we lived for 18 months. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Didn't quite work out. And we'd holidayed a lot in Scotland. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
When we left New Zealand, we ended up in central Scotland. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-And that has worked out? -Well, yeah, we've been there for almost 12 years now. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
Oh, fantastic. That really has worked out. Fantastic. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
Now, there you are on 16. The high-scorers now behind you, Sandeep and Mitch on 41. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
So 24 or less is what you're going to need, Brian. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
OK. Well, I know a few, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
but I'm going to take a bit of a gamble with this one. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
Which is on the top row, cos I'm thinking Hulk | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
and I'm thinking the one second from the right. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
I'm thinking Lou Ferrigno. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Lou Ferrigno. Lou Ferrigno. Here is your red line. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
If you can get below that with Lou Ferrigno, you're into the next round. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
It's right. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:44 | |
Very well done indeed. That's a great answer, 10. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
Equalling our lovely low answer from Jake in the first pass. 26 is your total. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
Yeah, anyone of a certain age, | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
which, let's face it, a lot of us are, would remember him as green. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
-Indeed. -As the Incredible Hulk. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
Joe, welcome to Pointless. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Good to have you here. What do you do? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
I work in a printing company. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
What's your role in the printing company? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
I'm a manager and just kind of make sure everything runs smoothly, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
and we make things like masks and personalised mugs and... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Kind of anything you want to put your picture on, we can... | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
That's fun. Jo, what do you like doing otherwise, what else do you get up to? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
I like taking my dog out. We've got a little Italian greyhound. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Oh, what sort of size is an Italian greyhound? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
He is about that big. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-Oh, tiny. -Yeah. -Sweet, though. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
But exactly the same shape? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Yeah, just like you've kind of put him in the washing machine for too long. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
-He's shrunk down. -What colour is he? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
He's like a kind of smoky blue colour. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
That's a great colour. Good colour. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-What's his name? -Hugo. -Hugo. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
I do hope he'll be watching. He'll be going... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
HE MAKES GENTLE BARKING NOISES | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
-They don't race Italian greyhounds, do they? -No, he tries to, but... | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
Ah, Hugo.... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
Ah... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-He can't, he's too little. -He's too little. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-He can't race. -Only if he finds other Italians. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-Other Italian greyhounds. -Yeah, that's what I mean! | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
He doesn't just find Italians and race against them, I'm guessing. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
-Yeah, no, no. -Has he got any Italian greyhound friends? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
No, we don't see too many of them around, so... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Maybe just down by the coffee shop. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
Round the back, there's a couple of Italian greyhounds. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
Oh, do you think? That would be nice. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-And they could have a tiny little mini racetrack. -Oh, that would be lovely. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-We could all go down there and have a little flutter. -A tiny bet. -A tiny bet. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
Now, Joe, what would you like to go for? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
You're on 10. The high-scorers on 41 are Sandeep and Mitch. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
So if you can possibly score 30 or less, you're into Round Two. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
I recognise three or four, | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
but most of the ones I recognise, I think would be quite high-scoring. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
So I think I'll have to go for the riskiest one. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
And I think the fourth one along on the bottom is Brigitte Nielsen. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
Brigitte Nielsen. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Let's see if that's right. There is your red line. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Get below that with Brigitte Nielsen and you are through to next round. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
It is Brigitte Nielsen. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
That gets you through. Very well done. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
16 is what it scores. 26 is your total. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Good work. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Well played, Joe. Some very good answers from everybody in this round. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
She was married briefly to Sylvester Stallone. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
Now, Ellen... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
Ellen, welcome to the show. Good to have you here. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
What do you do, Ellen? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
I'm a student at Newcastle University | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
and I study English language and literature. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-And what year are you in? -I've just finished my first year. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
So you've been all the way around the course once now. How do you like it? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
It's been so good. I've just enjoyed it so much, it's so interesting. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
I especially liked learning about sociolinguistics, | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
which is like the study of accent and dialect across Britain and the world. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
That's why we love the North East, some great dialect up there. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
-And how are you loving Newcastle? -Again, it's really, really good. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
It's a very interesting place. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Lovely. Lovely. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Now, Ellen, do you feel like having a bit of a mop-up operation here? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
Most of the ones I knew, other people have already said them. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
There are two I definitely think I know. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
Then there's one which would be a bit more of a risk, so... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
Well, your target is 25. 25 or less. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
I think I'm going to say Whoopi Goldberg. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
Whoopi Goldberg, says Ellen. Let's see if that's right. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. There is your red line. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
It's right. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
-Oh, dear. -Oh, dear, Ellen, 79 for Whoopi Goldberg. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
That's a colossal score, taking your total up to 94. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-I'm so sorry. -She's actually the biggest scorer on the whole board, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Whoopi Goldberg, believe it or not. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Instantly recognisable, I suppose. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Now, let's go through the rest of these. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
There's actually only one answer up here in single figures. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
No pointless answers. The top row, there, top left? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-David Copperfield. -David Copperfield would have scored you 11. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Next to David Copperfield is? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-Steve Guttenberg. -Steve Guttenberg, he would have scored you 13 points. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Top right is Corey Feldman. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
He would have scored you 12. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Let's complete the bingo on the middle line | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
with John Travolta there in the middle. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
73 points for him, the second biggest scorer. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
And on the bottom row, next to Dan Aykroyd, the best answer on the board, Quincy Jones. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
Quincy Jones would have scored you 2. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
Next to him, we heard him mentioned earlier, Steven Spielberg. 42 for him. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
And bottom right? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Jackie Collins, the authoress. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Jackie Collins, yeah. 11 points for Jackie Collins. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
There we are. Jackie Collins. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home with their high score of 94, | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
I'm so sorry, Ellen and Julia, it's you. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
Ellen, did you know any of those lower-scoring ones? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
No, they had all been said, unfortunately, so... | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
That's tricky. That is tricky. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:06 | |
That was a tough way to leave, but we'll see you again next time. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Thanks so much for playing. Ellen and Julia. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
There we are. Very well done, everyone. You've made it through to Round Two. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
Particular mention to Fiona and Brian and Jake and Joe, who had exactly the same scores. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
A 10 and a 16, adding up to 26. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
So there we are. Spooky! | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Our category for Round Two today is... | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
OK, and the question is all about... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Non-fiction Works, Richard. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:58 | |
On each board, we're going to show you the titles of six works of non-fiction and their authors. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
We've missed out a word from each title. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Can you fill it in, please? 12 in all, to have a go at at home. Very best of luck. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
OK, so what are the missing words from these titles? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
And we've got... | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Joe... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
you are first. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Quite a difficult question for me. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
I think I might know two. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
I'm going to go for the Charles Darwin... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
..On The Origin Of Species. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Species, says Joe. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people went with "Species". | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
45. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
That's quite a low score, isn't it, for that one? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Something's happening with evolution, I don't know what. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
Something is. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Now, Brian... | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
What are the missing words from these non-fiction titles? | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
I'm debating. I know a few. So which one's the lowest? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
I think I'm going to go with the top one, The Female Eunuch. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
The Female Eunuch, says Brian. Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Eunuch". | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
It's right. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
45 is our only score and you've passed that. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
37 for The Female Eunuch. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Yeah, published in 1970, became an international bestseller. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. Mitch, this board is all yours. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
If you felt like going through it, you'd be very welcome. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Yes, it's not a strong point for me. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
I don't really have a clue for the bottom two. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
I think the fourth one is Tweleve Years A Slave. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
But I think that will be probably the highest. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
So I'm going to have a go... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
..at Dreams From My Father for Barack Obama. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Dreams From My Father, says Mitch. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Father". | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
It is right. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
45 our high score, 37 our low. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
You've passed 45. You've passed 37. Down it goes. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Look at that, 11. Very well done indeed, Mitch. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
11 for Dreams From My Father. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Well played, Mitch. Yeah, the first of his autobiographical works. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
It first came out in 1995 and it didn't sell a lot of copies. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
And then he became President just so he could sell more copies. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
-That would do it. -It really worked! | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Let's take a look at the rest of these. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
You're right about 12 Years A Slave. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Quite a big scorer, 68. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
-A Room Of One's...? -Own! -A Room Of One's Own. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
Virginia Woolf, 40 points. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
-And the best scorer on the board? -Homage To Catalonia. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Homage To Catalonia by George Orwell. That would have scored 4 points. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-Very well done if you said that. -Thank you. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
11 the best score of the pass. Very well done, Mitch. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Mitch and Sandeep looking pretty strong from that. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
37 is where we find Brian and Fiona. 45 is where we find Joe and Jake. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
Not too far ahead there, Jake, but let's have a low score from you. That should keep you in the game. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
OK, let's put six more titles up on the board. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Here they are... | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
I'll read those one last time. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:51 | |
Sandeep, we come to you. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:07 | |
I'm just trying to decide which one might have the lowest score. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
I'm going to go for The Communist Manifesto. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
The Communist Manifesto, says Sandeep. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
You want to score 33 or less. Here's your red line. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
Below that, you're in the head-to-head. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
How many people said "Manifesto"? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
It's right. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
You've done it! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
You've done it. Very well done indeed. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
15, taking your total up to 26. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Yeah, a pamphlet written by Marx and Engels, | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
served as the basis for the Communist League. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Thanks, Richard. Fiona... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Fiona, now, you need to score 7 or less, ideally. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
Yes, and I knew all of them on the previous board. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
I don't know so many on this. It's no good. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
And I think... The one that I think will score the less that I know, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
and I think it's right, is Eat, Pray, Love. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
Eat, Pray, Love, for Elizabeth Gilbert. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Love". Here's your red line. Quite low. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
23. 23. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Taking your total up to a nice, round 60. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
Yeah, a 2006 memoir, later into a film with Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Now, Jake, you have to score 14 or less, here. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
-Do you feel like talking us through that board? -I can try. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Non-fiction's also not a strong point of mine. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
A Brief History Of Time, that's the Stephen Hawking one. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
But I think that's going to be quite high, with the movie. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
The Diary Of A Young Girl? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
I'm not even sure if it is, but I know that that one's going to be very high, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
many people are familiar with Anne Frank's diary. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
I'm going to go for... | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
The God Gene, Richard Dawkins. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
The God Gene, says Joe. The God Gene. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Here is your red line, it's quite low. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
You have to get below that with The God Gene. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. Is it right? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
Bad luck, Jake. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 145. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
Yeah, The Selfish Gene is one of Richard Dawkins' books. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
This is The God Delusion and would have scored you 14 points. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:36 | |
You were right about Anne Frank, it's The Diary Of A Young Girl. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
It would have scored you 40 points. That would have scored you too many. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
A Brief History Of Time, that would have scored you 43 points, also too many. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
And the best answer on the board, which is a wonderful book, | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
-do you know this one? -H Is For Hawk? | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
H is for Hawk. Yeah, and that would have scored you 7 points. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
-Very well done if you got that one. -Thanks very much indeed. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid to say it's Jake and Joe we have to send home, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
with their high score of 145. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
Anyway, we say goodbye now, we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that very much. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
In the meantime, thanks very much indeed, Jake and Joe. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
But for Sandeep and Mitch, Fiona and Brian, it's now time for the head-to-head. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
Very well done, Sandeep, Mitch, Fiona and Brian. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
You're now one step closer to the final | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
Well, you know the deal. From here on in, you can confer before giving answers. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
First pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
Now, no-one's been here before. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
Fiona and Brian, for the excellent reason this is your first appearance on Pointless, | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
and, Sandeep and Mitch, for the excellent reason that you were kicked off in Round Two last time. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:53 | |
How that has changed! | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
A much better performance, much stronger, much lower scores, very, very well done. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:59 | |
I think this should be very close. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Here's your first question. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
And it concerns... | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
It concerns Sooty, Richard. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
Five clues now to facts about the television puppet Sooty. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
What's the most obscure answer? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues. And here they come... | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
I'll read those all one last time. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
Now, Sandeep and Mitch, you're our low scorers, you will go first. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
Do you know any of these? | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Yeah, the second one... | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
Yeah. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:14 | |
I think it might be Daniel Corbett. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
Shall we go for that? | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
Or go with Weakest Link, maybe. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
We're going to say The Weakest Link | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
for the quiz show presented by Anne Robinson. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
OK, The Weakest Link. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Now, then, Fiona and Brian. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:38 | |
Do you want to talk us through the rest of that board? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
Well, it was "Izzy, wizzy, let's get busy." | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
I wish I could remember his troublemaking cousin, | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
-because I kind of remember him. -The decade must be the '60s. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
And I think it might be the '50s. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
But I think we're going to go for Harry Corbett's son, which I think is Matthew Corbett. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
Matthew Corbett. So, we've got Weakest Link and we've got Matthew Corbett. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
Sandeep and Mitch went for The Weakest Link. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said it. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
It's right. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:07 | |
50. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:11 | 0:31:15 | |
Fiona and Brian, meanwhile, have gone for Matthew Corbett. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Let's see if that's right, let's see how may people said that. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
It's right. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:23 | |
And it wins you the point. Very well done. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
Matthew Corbett scoring 31. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
Which means, after only one question, Fiona and Brian, you are ahead 1-0. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
Very well played. It's actually a stage name. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
His real name is Peter Corbett. But Matthew Corbett, obviously, is how we know him. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
And Soo won a puppet version of Weakest Link. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
She beat Roland Rat in the final. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-Used to be on at 5:15, didn't it, The Weakest Link? -It did, yeah. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
-I miss it. -APPLAUSE | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
-Well, you would, cos you're here! -That's true. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
Yes, you're quite right. You're quite right. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
"Izzy, wizzy, let's get busy" would have scored you 87 points. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:02 | |
You were right about the decade, it was the '50s. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
1952 was the very first time Sooty appeared on television. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
Had his own show from '55. 32 points for that. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
And the name of the troublemaking cousin introduced in the '90s was Scampi. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:16 | |
And that's the best answer on the board, 7 points. Well done if you said that. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your second question. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
Fiona and Brian, you get to answer it first. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
Sandeep and Mitch, you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
It is all about... | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
World Record Transfers, Richard. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:32 | |
We're going to show you five pictures now of footballers | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
who have been reported at one point or another as breaking the world transfer record. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
Can you identify one of these, please? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
OK, let's reveal our five footballers. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
And here they come... | 0:32:43 | 0:32:44 | |
We've got... | 0:32:45 | 0:32:46 | |
There we are. Five footballers. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
Fiona and Brian, you will go first. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
I think the first one's Roberto Baggio. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:14 | |
And I think that will be the lowest. I may be wrong. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
-OK, all right. Let's try it. -OK. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:18 | |
I may be wrong on this one. I know... | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
I know all bar one, but I'm going to take a... | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
Well, I think I know. This one's a bit of a gamble. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
I'm going to go for A, Roberto Baggio. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Roberto Baggio, say Fiona and Brian for A. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
Roberto Baggio. Now, Sandeep and Mitch, that board's all yours. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
Talk us through it. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
Well, C we know is Gareth Bale. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
E is Alan Shearer. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
B is... We don't know. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
No, don't know. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
And D... This is a bit of a guess. Actually, a complete guess. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
-Just say Di Stefano. -Yeah, Di Stefano. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Di Stefano. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:52 | |
OK, Di Stefano you're going to say for D. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
So we have Roberto Baggio and Di Stefano. | 0:33:56 | 0:34:00 | |
Fiona and Brian, you have said Roberto Baggio for A. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:05 | |
Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
It's right, Roberto Baggio. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
And it's a low score. Look, it is a low score. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
8! Very well done indeed. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
Meanwhile, Sandeep and Mitch have said that D is Di Stefano. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:29 | |
Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
Bad luck. That is incorrect. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
But well done, Fiona and Brian. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
That result means that, after only two questions, | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
you are straight through to the final, 2-0. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
Yeah, Roberto Baggio's a great answer. It's the second-best answer on the board, after D. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
Much closer to home than Alfredo Di Stefano. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
It is... | 0:34:52 | 0:34:53 | |
Signed for Arsenal in 1928, David Jack. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
And he is a pointless answer. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
Very well done if you said that. He signed for £10,890, | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
which was, at the time, a world record. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
B is, of course, Johan Cruyff. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
He would have scored you 26. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
And C sold for £86 million to Real Madrid. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:17 | |
Gareth Bale, as you knew. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:18 | |
Big scorer, though, 46. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
And Alan Shearer. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:22 | |
£15 million price tag at one point. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
62 points for him. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
OK, so the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Sandeep and Mitch. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:33 | |
I'm so sorry. Our low-scoring pair, | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
but Fiona and Brian just pipped you on both those answers. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
We say goodbye for now. It's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing, Sandeep and Mitch! | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
So, for Fiona and Brian, it's now time for our Pointless final. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
Very many congratulations, Fiona and Brian, | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
you have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
Yay! | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
You've done incredibly well. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
Your first appearance on Pointless, straight through to the final. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
2-0 in the head-to-head. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
I mean, there's no arguing with that. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
-What would you like to see come up in this round? -I'd like to see... | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
literary prizes, perhaps music prizes, something to do with music. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:34 | |
I'd like to see "what is in my house?" | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
Do you think that might come up? | 0:36:39 | 0:36:40 | |
-No, it came up two shows ago, I'm afraid. -Oh, no! | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
Well, you get to make your choice from the four we put up on the board, as you know. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
Let's see what's up there today. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
We've got... | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
What do you reckon? | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-Not jazz. -Not jazz, definitely. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
I'm not too sure about "Girl"... | 0:37:05 | 0:37:06 | |
Abraham Lincoln I don't really know. I know who followed him. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
-Do you want to try 20th Century Literature? -Give it a go? -Yeah. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
What you reckon? | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
Yeah. Yeah. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
We're going 20th Century Literature, please. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
Yeah, we're looking for any novel published by any of the following three authors, please. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:24 | |
We are looking for any novel written by... | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
So any novel. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
No novellas, plays, non-fiction, anything like that or anthologies. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
Just novels written by any of those three, | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
including posthumous ones up to June 2015. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
-Very best of luck. -Thanks very much. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
And all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
-Are you ready? -Yes. -I think we're going to spread them very thinly. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
OK! Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
There they are. Your time starts now! | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
What do you reckon? | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
What about Virginia Woolf? | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
I only know To The Lighthouse. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
So I only know To The Lighthouse | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
and I don't think that would be pointless. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
How about Ernest Hemingway? I really don't... | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
I don't know any of these. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
-No. -Any of them. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
No. So we're really stuck. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
-What about Ernest Hemingway? -I don't know any by Ernest Hemingway. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
God... | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
I know William Faulkner, I saw on something else the other day... | 0:38:18 | 0:38:21 | |
-But I'm trying to... -We really are struggling, aren't we? | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
-Yeah, we are. -Yeah. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
So... We're to have to make it up. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Yeah. We are. Because I don't know any. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
Apart from To The Lighthouse. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
That won't be pointless. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
Well, give it a go. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:40 | |
Yeah. I think we'll just stop, just because we'll just make up some. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
-We've got to, yeah. -We're going to make some up. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
-Ten seconds left. -OK. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
What you reckon? | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
Ernest Hemingway wrote To Have Or Have Not. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
-Give it a whirl. -Give it a whirl. What the hell, eh? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
OK, that is your time up. I now need is your three answers. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
And if you could say which category you are answering, as well. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
-Well, Virginia Woolf. -To The Lighthouse. -To The lighthouse. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
-Yeah. -And the next two are guesses. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
-To Have And Have Not. -To Have And Have Not. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
-Though, I don't think that's right. -You're going to say that for who? | 0:39:11 | 0:39:13 | |
Hemingway. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
I know it's not him, because it was Andre Gide, | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
but I keep on getting Strait As The Gate. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
-Do you want to try it? -Yeah, no, it's none of those. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
But I'll go Ernest Hemingway, Strait As The Gate. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
Strait As The Gate, Ernest Hemingway. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
OK, now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
I think our only shot is Virginia Woolf. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
OK, To The Lighthouse goes last. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
Which is your least likely of the other two? | 0:39:33 | 0:39:35 | |
-Strait As The Gate. -Strait As The Gate goes first. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
And the other goes in the middle. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
OK, well, lets put those answers on the board in that order, then, and here they are. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
We've got... | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
OK, now, if one of these turns out to be pointless | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
and wins you that jackpot of £3,000, what would you do with it? | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
I think we'd put it towards a holiday... | 0:39:57 | 0:40:01 | |
-Yeah. -..for the family. -Yeah. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
I think, probably, towards something in Florida, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:05 | |
or maybe we'd be selfish and go to India, the two of us. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
-Yeah. -That would be nice, wouldn't it? -Yeah. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:11 | |
Well, best of luck. Let's just keep fingers crossed. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
Your first answer was Strait As The Gate. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
In this case, we are looking for novels by Ernest Hemingway. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
Strait As The Gate is your least-confident answer. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that jackpot of £3,000. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
Let's see if Strait As The Gate is right. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
Nope. I'm afraid not. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
Your next answer was To Have And Have Not. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
In this case, we were also looking for Ernest Hemingway novels. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
Let's see if that's right, too, shall we, for £3,000? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
It is right. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
-Now... -It won't be pointless. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
..if this goes all the way down to zero, | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |
you will be leaving here with £3,000. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
Down it goes, through single figures, still going down, still going down... | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
There you are! | 0:41:01 | 0:41:02 | |
-That... -Oh, thank you! | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
-Thank you! -Very well done! | 0:41:07 | 0:41:08 | |
-How about that? -Congratulations! | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
I don't believe it! | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
To Have And Have Not was a pointless answer. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
That means you are going away with our jackpot of £3,000. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
-I can't believe it! -Brilliant! | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
Never in doubt. Never in doubt, was it? | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
You must have known. Somewhere in your head, you knew, you knew that. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
So, 1937 novel by Hemingway, | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
of course, made into a film with Bacall and Bogart. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
But a pointless answer. Terrific work, very well done! | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
Yeah, I thought it was by him, but I never thought it would be pointless. I thought... Never. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:51 | |
To The Lighthouse would have scored you 7 points. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
7? 7 points. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
But it doesn't matter. Who cares?! | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
Let's look at the pointless answers in the different categories. We'll start with Virginia Woolf. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:01 | |
You could have had Between The Acts, Jacob's Room, | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
Night And Day, The Years. Also Flush, and The Voyage Out. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
Those were the six pointless answers. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
Well done if you got one of those. William Faulkner, now. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
Absalom, Absalom! | 0:42:12 | 0:42:13 | |
Light In August. His first-ever novel, Soldiers' Pay, | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
and his last novel, that won the Pulitzer Prize, The Reivers. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
Those were the only four pointless answers in that category. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
Ernest Hemingway, now. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
Islands In The Stream. Of course, later covered by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers! | 0:42:26 | 0:42:30 | |
You could have had The Garden Of Eden, | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
you could have had The Torrents Of Spring, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
And there's To Have And Have Not. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
How about that? Two other pointless answers. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
Across The River And Into The Trees, and True At First Light. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
Very well done if you got any of those at home. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
Well, thanks, once again, to our winning pair, Fiona and Brian, | 0:42:45 | 0:42:48 | |
who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
-Very well done! -Thank you. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye! | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye! | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 |
