0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I am Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Haroon. This is my wife Sara, and we're from Enfield in North London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Georgie, I'm from Stockport. This is my Auntie Claire and she's from Gloucester.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Claire, this is my friend Angharad, and we're from West Wales.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Liam. This is my team-mate Andy and we're from Guildford.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much to all of you, we will find out more about you
0:00:59 > 0:01:01throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Scream if you want to go cleverer. It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Hiya.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hi, everybody.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11APPLAUSE
0:01:11 > 0:01:12- Good afternoon.- And to you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Excellent. Only one returning pair today - that's Claire and Georgie.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And we only saw them for one round last time, as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Podium four - we're getting more and more of this, aren't we?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- We're getting more and more beards on the show.- Yes.- Hipster beards.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Yeah.- And it's quite hipster on podium four, isn't it? It could go either way.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It could go either way, couldn't it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We've got a classic, old-school, Pointless round to start everyone off with.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Old-school Pointless.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40What everyone signed up for. Now, Vicki and Steve won the jackpot last time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Isn't that exciting? So, today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, I don't need to remind you of this but the pair with
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02There we are, I've said it. Our first category today is...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Bordered Countries, Richard.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yes, in a moment Xander's going to show you the names of five countries.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We're looking for any country in the world that shares a border with any of these five.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Please, as always by country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, so as Richard just mentioned, we're going to put five countries up.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37They will stay on the board for the whole round.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We won't be changing them halfway through.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44We just need the name of any country that shares a border with one of these five countries.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45And we've got...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Haroon, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you very much.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Is this a warm welcome with these countries behind me?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00It could be warmer.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK, it could be warmer. I'm sorry about that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05But Haroon, lovely to have you here all the same. What do you do, Haroon?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'm a solicitor.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- In Enfield?- In Enfield, yes. - In Enfield.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And what are your interests aside from being a solicitor?
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I enjoy sports. I'm a big cricket fan. I also enjoy reading.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21OK, now, how are you feeling about geography, generally?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Not too bad, but then not too great. I'll give it a crack.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29For Belgium I will say...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- France.- France, says Haroon.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:03:40 > 0:03:4367 for France. APPLAUSE
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Not bad.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47That's what we call a risky start, Haroon.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49LAUGHTER
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's just, if you think of Belgium you have France just underneath it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But huge debates - they need a solicitor over in France about the French and the Belgians,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58who invented French fries, even to this day.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Yeah.- The Belgians claim it. The French are having none of it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Alliteration on France's side there.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Yes, well, Belgian bun, of course. The French say they invent it, so...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- you know, works both ways, doesn't it?- There we go.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Thanks very much, Richard. Georgie, welcome back.- Hi.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Now, it was Round One last time we had to say goodbye to you,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18which was far too soon.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21We had a very tricky board about people with middle initials.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Yeah, it was very hard. - Remind us what you do, Georgie.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I am a policing and criminal investigation student.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- In your final year?- Yes. - And where are you doing that?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32At Uclan in Preston.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Right you are. Are most of the people who teach you serving police officers?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Yeah, or have just retired. - Or just retired.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40So yeah, plenty of experience.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That's exciting. See, you're getting everything hot off the police press.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Yeah, basically, yeah. - Very good indeed.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And, when you finish do you know where you will be going or...?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'm looking to do a Masters but it just sort of...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- I'm just putting off getting a job, really.- Very good.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Now, Georgie, what would you like to go for?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I'm just going to say Germany. - Germany, says Georgie.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Germany. Let's see if Germany is right,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05let's see how many people said it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08It is right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Well, it beats France.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13APPLAUSE
0:05:13 > 0:05:15As it sometimes does.
0:05:15 > 0:05:1644.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Yeah, so far, this is like an episode of Pointless Celebrities, isn't it?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Those would be the first two answers we'd get. It is interesting though,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26cos once the obvious ones have gone, you are then forced to actually think about it,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28which sometimes is where the better answers go for.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think by and large people know more than they think.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Yes. Quite right. - Well, we shall find out.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Now then, Angharad, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- What do you do, Angharad? - I am a research consultant.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- In what sort of capacity? What are you researching?- Social policy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yeah. One of those jobs that people don't really know exist.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Right, I see, and what do you like to get up to when you're not doing that, Angharad?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I love to run. - What sort of distances do you run?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Oh, I'm building it up, I like 10Ks and half marathons at the moment.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Trying to challenge myself a bit more.
0:06:00 > 0:06:0410Ks and half marathons. You enter lots of 10Ks and half marathons?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Yeah, I try as much... You know, as often as I can.- How many a year do you do?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, maybe four or five.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12That's terrifying.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14But you're building up towards the full marathon, do you think?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, I need some motivation,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18so I need to keep having something to train for.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20OK, very good. Now, Angharad,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24what would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Right. I'm just going to say Uruguay.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Uruguay?- Yes.- Uruguay - let's see if that's right,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33let's see if that's going to pay off for Angharad.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36It's right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, you passed both of our existing scores.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Uruguay gets you seven.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Very well done, indeed.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:50 > 0:06:54It borders Brazil, of course. A very good answer. It was named country of the year in 2013 by The Economist.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Country of the year.- Country of the year. That's not bad. It's got a president who lives in a cottage
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- and drives himself to work in a VW Beetle.- That's nice. - Flies economy class.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- That's nice.- That's nice, isn't it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I wonder who is hosting country of the year awards.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, I know who's hosting it next year. Uruguay.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- If you win it, that's where they host it.- That's where they host it? - Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Anyway, thank you very much indeed. Now, Andy, welcome.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Great to have you here from Guildford. What do you do, Andy?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Struggling musician, sort of thing.
0:07:22 > 0:07:29I play in a band called Red Kites and I also teach drums and guitar.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- What do you play in Red Kites? - I'm the drummer.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34You are the drummer in Red Kites? But also, if you're teaching guitar
0:07:34 > 0:07:36your guitar playing must be quite something.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Well, I think you just have to stay one step ahead of the student.- Oh.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's the trick, is it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44So, how many guitarists do you have in the band?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Obviously there's a bass guitarist.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49We've got a bass guitarist, we've got Liam, who is the lead guitarist,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50and we have got rhythm guitar.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Does the rhythm guitarist ever sort of feel you breathing down his neck at all?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57While you from the drums, you're telling him which inversions of chords to play?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Not... No, that's far too... Like I said, one step ahead of the student.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Red Kite - what kind of music's that?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Well, the description is emotive, folk rock.- Wow.- Indie rock.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Very good indeed. OK, so now, Andy, what would you like to go for?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's a very small country in Europe, and I'm not sure how many
0:08:18 > 0:08:21countries it actually borders, so it could be wrong.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25But I think it is in that kind of range, so I'm going to go for Andorra.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Andorra. Andorra - let's see if it's right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Oh, no, Andy!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I'm so sorry. I salute the risk you took,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39but I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer - scores 100 points.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Sorry, Andy. It is tucked in between France and Spain, Andorra.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So if you're booked to do a gig in Andorra, do not get the ferry to Ostend.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47That's my advice.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Seven, Angharad, very well done indeed - best score of the pass.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Then we leap quite a way
0:08:56 > 0:09:01up to 44, where we find Georgie and Claire. 67, Haroon and Sara.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02And then up to 100 I'm afraid,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Andy and Liam. And now Liam, who knows?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It could be a tough group of countries, that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10There might be another incorrect answer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14As long as it's not from you, we might be in with a chance of seeing you in Round Two.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So, then, Liam. Liam, first, what happened to your foot?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Um, when we got the call saying that we were on Pointless,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I also got a call from Andy saying we're going on a night out
0:09:31 > 0:09:34to celebrate the fact that we were on Pointless.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40That night ended with this, quite a bit of enthusiasm falling off a kerb.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- No, so Pointless carries the can for that?- Pretty much.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- You falling off a kerb, Liam? - Falling off a kerb.- How much celebrating did you do?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I can't remember, to be honest. - OK, that answers my question.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53The night sort of...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh, Liam, so you're the lead guitarist.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Yeah.- Who put the band together?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02We sort of all met at this music college and it's a joint sort of...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- We all wanted to be in a band. - Oh, I see. And how long has Red Kite been going?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Four years? Coming up to five. - That's good.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11If anyone wants to see you, though, Red Kite, where do you play, generally?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- All around. We've got a gig in Reading.- There we are.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- From Reading, come down. - There we are.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, listen, don't get too near the edge of the kerb is all I'm saying.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Now, you're the high scorers, Liam. We need an ingenious answer from you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30Yeah, right, um, I'm going to go with Argentina.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Argentina, says Liam.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35You are getting a gentle nod from Claire there. Let's see how many
0:10:35 > 0:10:39people said Argentina. No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Yes!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:4739 for Argentina.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49APPLAUSE
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Takes your total up to 139.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Given yourself a chance there, Liam. Yeah, borders Brazil.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Once had five presidents in ten days, Argentina.- Wow.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- I know. We did that at Fulham very briefly with managers, as well. - Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Claire.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Didn't Angharad do well? - She did very well.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10She's done so well, in fact,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14it doesn't actually matter what you score. I mean, obviously, it does matter - it matters to all of us
0:11:14 > 0:11:17what you score - but in terms of getting through to Round Two, you could,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20not that you would, score 100 points.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Claire, what do you do?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I also work with Angharad and
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I'm also working in research and evaluation consultancy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Now, so which of you was there first?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Angharad.- I see, and when did you join?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35About a year and a half ago.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And has Angharad been kind? Has she shown you the ropes?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38- Is she...?- Very kind.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- OK, very good. Nice atmosphere in the office? Nice people there? - Lovely atmosphere.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45OK, now Claire, what do you do when you're not working there?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I like reading, baking.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I'm very much into my history and my genealogy as well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Very good. Have you been tracing your own family tree, then?- Yes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- How far have you got?- About to pre-Norman times.- Oh, this is good.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Who was Norman? Your grandad?- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02LAUGHTER
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Good stuff. Now, as I say, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07which is a nice position to be in.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09But let's have a good answer from you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I think I am going to go for a country that borders Brazil.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I am thinking Chile?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Chile, says Claire, Chile. No red line, you're already through.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let's see how many people said Chile.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Bad luck, Claire, an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30takes your total up to 107, but you are through.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Perfectly good. They're sort of on the opposite sides of the continent, Chile and Brazil.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Claire.- Hello.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Claire, welcome back, and now remind us what you do, Claire.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I am a communications manager for a charity that supports rural communities.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Excellent, in Gloucester? - That's right.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50And, when not doing that, Claire, what keeps you happy?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55I like travelling around, city breaks, that type of thing, reading, um...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58How many of these countries have you travelled to?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Er, none of them.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Do you know, nor have I. - Have you never been to Belgium?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Never been to Belgium. Isn't that shocking?- Never been to Belgium? - Never been to Belgium.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- I've been to Belgium.- You have? - Yeah, I'll tell you.- Where should I go?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Belgium.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15LAUGHTER
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Belarus is lovely. - Lovely, so I gather.- Antwerp.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Mm-hm, Antwerp.- Um, other bits.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Oh! I've heard other bits is lovely as well, yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Everyone goes to Bruges, though, don't they?- Bruges - pretty.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Anyway, sorry, yes, Claire, now, what would you like to go for?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38You're on 44, the high-scorers are Liam and Andy on 139.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- 94 or less gets you through. - That's embarrassing, isn't it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Because I'm having that kind of... I haven't been to any of these countries -
0:13:45 > 0:13:47where are they? I'm going to say the Netherlands.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49The Netherlands. The Netherlands, surely,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51that sounds like a good answer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54There is your red line. If you get below that with the Netherlands,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57you are through to the next round. How many people say the Netherlands?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Well done. Through you go.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0345!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05APPLAUSE Takes the total up to 89.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Dutch is actually the most widely spoken language in Belgium.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Lovely language.- Yeah, perfectly good language.- Yeah, yeah. There we go.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Now, Sara, welcome to the show, good to have you here.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20How many of your perfect answers have been taken by other people?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Almost all of them.- All of them. What do you do, Sara?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- I stay at home looking after my twin daughters.- How old are they?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27They're almost two.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29That's a sort of good age, isn't it?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I mean twins, they keep each other company.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah, but now we have got the terrible twos,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- so now it's double trouble, literally.- Double trouble.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's kind of trouble squared, actually, isn't it?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- So, do they sort of fuel each other?- Absolutely.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Yeah, yeah. What are their names?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Medina and Inaya. - Medina and Inaya, lovely.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Oh, now, Sara, what would you like to go for?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56If you can score 71 or less, you'll be through to the next round.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I'm going to take an absolute guess, er...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- and say Peru?- Peru.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK, Peru, here is your red line.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08You must get below that with Peru to remain with us. Best of luck. Will you?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's right!
0:15:13 > 0:15:14You do remain.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22That's a great answer. Very well done indeed. 14. Second-lowest score
0:15:22 > 0:15:25of the whole round. 81 is your total. Very well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Well played, Sara. Borders Brazil, of course. You have taken us neatly full circle
0:15:28 > 0:15:32because Peru claim, and there is an awful lot to back it up,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34that that's where potatoes come from.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Which of course is where fries come from.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Peruvian potatoes?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I can see why, yes.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41A proud boast if you are Peruvian is,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43"I am more Peruvian than a potato."
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- That is an expression in Peru.- Wow.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Wonderful cuisine in Peru. - Marvellous.- Let no-one tell you otherwise.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Now, there's lots of pointless answers here -
0:15:51 > 0:15:53they are mainly for countries that border Burkina Faso.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58The pointless answers that border Burkina Faso... Cote d'Ivoire, Niger, Benin, Togo.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02There's one other pointless answer bordering Brazil, which is Suriname.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04For Bulgaria you could've had Serbia for one point,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07it would have been a terrific answer. Two points for Macedonia.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12For Belarus, you would have got three for Latvia, four for Lithuania.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Well done if you said any of those.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17And the only other country is Belgium and other than the answers we already have,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20which were the top three answers France and Netherlands and Germany.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Luxembourg would have scored you 12 points.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So the end of our first round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm so sorry, Liam and Andy, our Red Kiters,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31we have to say goodbye to you. You'll be back next time, though.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And we'll look forward to that very much, and I hope we see much more of you then.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Meantime, thanks very much indeed though, Liam and Andy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39APPLAUSE
0:16:39 > 0:16:43But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, welcome to Round Two, everyone. Only three pairs remain.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55We'll have to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round, but well done to all of you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Richard.- On each board we are going to show you the names of six people
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and the years in which they took up a particular job or position.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24We need you to name their immediate predecessor, please.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The last person to permanently hold that position.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's going to be six on each board, 12 in all. Very best of luck.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So we're looking for the person who directly preceded these
0:17:34 > 0:17:36people in these jobs.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Now, Haroon, quite fun, this, as a round, I think, isn't it?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23It is, it's a lot of fun.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27What are you thinking?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Again, I'll probably go with the slightly safer of the two
0:18:30 > 0:18:35that I'm thinking of thinking of and I'll say Ken Livingstone, former Mayor of London.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, says Haroon. Let's see if that's right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It is right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:5137. 37 with Ken Livingstone.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52APPLAUSE
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Well played, Haroon. He was the first directly elected Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58He was always quite a maverick and quite funny
0:18:58 > 0:19:02and those were his selling points. He must have been gutted when Boris came along.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Thinking, "Oh, you are as well."
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Georgie.- Hi.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I knew the Nick Grimshaw one
0:19:11 > 0:19:13but it's just completely gone out of my head.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17So, I'm going to play it safe and go with - I hope it's safe -
0:19:17 > 0:19:20David Tennant, the Doctor before Matt Smith.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22David Tennant, says Georgie. Let's see if that's right
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and let's see how many of our 100 said David Tennant.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31It's right. 37 is our only score so far.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You passed it, 23.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE
0:19:35 > 0:19:3623, for David Tennant.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Well played. He took his surname from Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys
0:19:41 > 0:19:43when he changed his name for Equity.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45That's cool, isn't it? Very nice.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49OK, so, Claire, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:19:50 > 0:19:55I'm going to go for Rowan Williams as the predecessor for Justin Welby,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Rowan Williams, says Claire. Let's see if that's right,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Well, 37 is our high score,
0:20:06 > 0:20:1023 our low, you passed 37, you passed 23,
0:20:10 > 0:20:11that's a 3!
0:20:11 > 0:20:12APPLAUSE
0:20:12 > 0:20:14That's a very good answer, Claire, very well done for you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:173 for Rowan Williams.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Great answer, Claire, well played. One of our 100 people said Rowan Atkinson.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22LAUGHTER
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- We all have moments like that, to be honest, don't we?- Yeah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Now, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The predecessor to Nick Grimshaw...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Chris Moyles.- ..was Chris Moyles, yep. Would've scored you 15 points.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39The predecessor to Timothy Dalton was...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- It's tricky, isn't it, to remember the...- Roger Moore...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Roger Moore.- Was it really Roger Moore?- Yeah, it's Roger Moore, yeah. No-one in between.
0:20:45 > 0:20:4829 points for that and other than Rowan Williams, the best answer up there,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51the predecessor to Fabio Capello was Steve McClaren.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Steve McClaren would have scored you five points.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57There we are. Thank you very much, Richard. Halfway through the round.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Let's take a look at those scores. Claire and Angharad looking
0:20:59 > 0:21:01extremely strong on the far podium.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Lovely low score of 3 with Rowan Williams, there.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Then up to 23 where we find Georgie and Claire. 37, Haroon and Sara.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10So, yes Sara, we need a low score from you on the next board. Good luck with that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21OK, so let's put six more people up and their roles on the board.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We've got...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Now then, Angharad.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04We're looking for the names, remember, of the immediate predecessors of these people.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Right, I don't know many of these,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but I will go for...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Pope John Paul II?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15John Paul II, says Angharad, John Paul II.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You are on three, the high scorers on 37 are Sara and Haroon.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Let's see how many people said John Paul II.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Very well done. Through you go. 19.
0:22:32 > 0:22:3619 taking your total up to 22, the lowest total of the round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Safe and sound on that last podium. While he was Pope he visited 129 countries.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And by "country", he meant a sovereign state that was a member of the UN.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46LAUGHTER
0:22:46 > 0:22:48There we go, thank you very much indeed.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Now, Claire.- Hello.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Claire, there you are on 23 - you have to score 13 or less. Little bit of pressure on that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Yeah, I am going to try the poet laureate as Andrew Motion.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Andrew Motion, says Claire.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05There's your red line. If you can get below that with Andrew Motion,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07you are in the head-to-head - let's see if you can do it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It's right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You've done it! Look at that. Very well done indeed -
0:23:18 > 0:23:214 for or Andrew Motion. That's a great answer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2227.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24APPLAUSE
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Very good answering all round. Of course, Carol Ann Duffy the first female poet laureate.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Sara.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'm sorry to say you are the high scorers even before you
0:23:34 > 0:23:37give your answer. But how do you like this board?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Do you feel you might be able to talk us
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- through any of those answers? - I wish I could.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I could probably take a guess at the second one, probably only.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Um, Victoria?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Victoria, says Sara, Queen Victoria.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56No red line for you as you are the high-scorers. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Queen Victoria.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Ooh, bad luck. I am afraid that scores you 100 points,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06takes your total up to 137.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Yeah, not Victoria, I'm afraid. It was...- Edward VII.- Edward VII.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12It would have scored you 15 points.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Now, the top answer, the predecessor to George Pompidou. - It's Charles de Gaulle, is it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Charles de Gaulle is absolutely right - would have scored you 10 points.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21He, of course, was named after an airport. We think...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23And we laugh at that but then think about it -
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Victoria was named after a station, so we're no better. We are no better.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Des Lynam took over from Richard Whiteley,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35the first host after Richard Whiteley, 24 points for that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Margaret Thatcher took over from... - Jim Callaghan.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Jim Callaghan, yeah. That would have scored you 9.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43So, best answer of the board Claire, Andrew Motion, well played.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Thanks very much indeed to the end of our second round,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49the pair who are heading home with their high score of 137 is Sara and Haroon.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53We will see you again next time. I'm sure we will see much, much more of you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55But meantime, thanks very much indeed, Sara and Haroon.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58APPLAUSE
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But for Claire and Angharad and Claire and Georgie,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Very well done, Claire and Georgie, Angharad and Claire.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:25:12 > 0:25:16play for our jackpot, which is still standing currently at £1,000.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, you know what happens here - you can you can start playing as a team,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23you can confer before you give your answers, and the first pair to win two questions will be
0:25:23 > 0:25:24playing for that jackpot.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I think this should be very exciting. I mean, we've had some great answers from both of you,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31so yes, it should be close. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34APPLAUSE
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Fictional Princesses, Richard. - We're going to show you five pictures, fictional princesses -
0:25:48 > 0:25:49can you name them, please?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53OK, let's reveal our five fictional princesses and here they come.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55We've got...
0:26:21 > 0:26:22There we are,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24five fictional princesses.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Claire and Georgie, you're our low scorers, so you'll go first.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Go on...- I don't know anyone apart from A,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31go for any girls you know, cos I don't know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I think D is Jasmine.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37OK, good, go for that.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'm going to go with D, and, um, Jasmine?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Jasmine. D, Jasmine, say Claire and Georgie.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So, then, Angharad and Claire, do you want to talk us through
0:26:49 > 0:26:51the other princesses?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54A we know is Princess Leia.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57B we know is from Enchanted, but we can't remember her name.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01C is Xena: Warrior Princess.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And E is Elsa from Frozen.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- But I think we'll go for Xena: Warrior Princess?- Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09OK, we'll say C, Xena.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, we have Jasmine and we have Xena.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Claire and Georgie said Jasmine, for D.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Let's see if it's right and see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20It's right.
0:27:23 > 0:27:2442, for Jasmine.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Angharad and Claire, meanwhile, have said Xena for C.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Xena.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38It's right.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Can it beat 42? 47!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Very close indeed.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46But it means, after one question, Claire and Georgie,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48you're up 1-0.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Well played. Let's go through all of these.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53The biggest scorer is Princess Leia, there, Carrie Fisher.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- That's a lovely photo, that. - Isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It would have scored you 68 points.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You're right, it is from... It is Enchanted.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's Amy Adams as Giselle.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It would've scored you one point - would've been a terrific answer.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And we saw Xena score 47.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And if you ever wanted evidence that the under-16s
0:28:14 > 0:28:16are not part of our 100,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18it's the fact that Elsa actually would've won you the point.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Cos it is Elsa, of course, from the wonderful Frozen,
0:28:21 > 0:28:22and would've scored you 29.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Very well done to anyone of any age who got that at home -
0:28:25 > 0:28:26terrific answer.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29There we are. I worry a bit about, er, Jasmine's earrings.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- I just think...- Really?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35I just... I don't know, what are they? What is that - amber?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's a very light ambergris.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Yeah, so it's not pulling at all.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42So it's not... I was thinking if that were gold,
0:28:42 > 0:28:4524-carat gold, that would be pretty serious.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47You wouldn't do that. That would be a Pat Butcher type of...
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Yeah, very good. Thank you, Richard.- It's a pleasure.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Glad we ironed that out.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Here comes your second question, Angharad and Claire.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56You have to win it, but you get to answer it first.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57So, good luck with that.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58It concerns...
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Albums by Queen, Richard.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05We're going to show you the initials of five Top 40 albums by the band Queen.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08We just need you to tell us what they are, please. Very best of luck.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Let's reveal our five sets of initials and here they come.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12We've got...
0:29:21 > 0:29:22I'll read those all one last time...
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Angharad and Claire will go first. - I know the top one.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32What is it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:33A Kind Of Magic.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34That's the only one I know.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I really don't know.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Unfortunately, we only know one of them.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44My mum is probably at home now screaming at me
0:29:44 > 0:29:46cos she will know every one of them.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47We're going to go for the top answer,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50AKOM, A Kind Of Magic.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51A Kind Of Magic.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Now, Claire and Georgie.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I feel, as a child of the '70s I should know all of these, and
0:29:56 > 0:29:59it's not coming. So, I've got to go for the obvious one which is
0:29:59 > 0:30:01A Night At The Opera.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03A Night At The Opera.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05So we have A Kind Of Magic and we have A Night At The Opera.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Claire and Angharad said a kind of magic for AKOM.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Let's see if it's right and see how many people said A Kind Of Magic.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's right.
0:30:18 > 0:30:1925...
0:30:19 > 0:30:21..for A Kind Of Magic.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Claire and Georgie, have gone for A Night At The Opera.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Let's see if that's right for ANATO.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's right.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37It's got to beat 25... Oh, look at that, 26!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39For A Night At The Opera, there we are.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Well done, and Angharad and Claire.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44After two questions, it's one all. You're back in the game.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Yeah, very well played.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47A lot of these are very similar scores.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51We'll leave the best scoring, SHA is Sheer Heart Attack.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55That would've scored you 23. NOTW...
0:30:55 > 0:30:57News Of The World.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00That would've scored you 28. The best answer on the board is FG.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Oh! I've just thought of what it is!
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- Flash Gordon! - Yup.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04There we go.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Would've scored 13 points.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Well done if you said that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Thanks very much, indeed.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Here comes your third question.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Whoever wins goes to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Best of luck to both players, it concerns...
0:31:16 > 0:31:18The House of Commons, Richard.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19It's been a good head-to-head,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22we're gonna show you five clues now about the House of Commons.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Whichever team gives the most obscure answer will play for the jackpot.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Very best of luck to you all.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Here they come...
0:31:48 > 0:31:49I'll read those one last time.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Claire and Georgie, you will go first.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10It should be obvious.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- I don't know the Commons.- I mean...
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Help me.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- I can't.- I don't feel secure.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17I just know the Speaker,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19John Bercow.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Oh, yeah, because he...isn't it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Hm, interesting.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Should we go with this?
0:32:26 > 0:32:27We'll go, well...
0:32:27 > 0:32:30It's one I think I know, but I'm not brave enough,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I'm going to go for the Speaker, John Bercow.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33John Bercow.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35John Bercow, say Claire and Georgie.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Now, Angharad and Claire...
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41We think the answer to the top one
0:32:41 > 0:32:43is Yes, Prime Minister,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45but we're not entirely sure.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47The colour of the leather benches
0:32:47 > 0:32:50in the Commons chamber is green.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The two letter abbreviation is, MP.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We're not entirely sure, we think the
0:32:55 > 0:32:57position held by Sir Robert Rogers,
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Clerk of the House.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Go on.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We're going to take a risk.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05We're going to go for the position officer, Robert Rogers.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07That position was Clerk of the House, we think.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Clerk of the House, you say, Clerk of the House.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12So, we have John Bercow and we have Clerk of the House.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Now, Claire and Georgie said John Bercow.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Let's see if that's right,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19as the MP elected Speaker.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30APPLAUSE 29.
0:33:30 > 0:33:3229 for John Bercow.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Meanwhile, Angharad and Claire have said
0:33:34 > 0:33:38that Sir Robert Rogers is the Clerk of the House,
0:33:38 > 0:33:39or at least was until August 2014.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Let's see if that's right, Clerk of the House of Commons.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It's right!
0:33:47 > 0:33:48It's absolutely right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Robert Rogers wins that for you.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51And wins the round for you,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53that sends you into the final.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57It means very well done, Angharad and Claire.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It shouldn't surprise us, with the performances of both teams.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Those were the best two answers on the board, very well played.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08There was a very good documentary, very illuminating anyway,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11about the House of Commons and he featured significantly in that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Sir Robert Rogers, drama series...
0:34:15 > 0:34:16- it was...- House Of Cards.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18House Of Cards, which they remade with Kevin Spacey.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That would've scored 40.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You're right about green.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24That would have scored you 58.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26And the two letter abbreviation is...
0:34:26 > 0:34:28MP.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30And that would've scored you 88 points.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34The pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I'm afraid, it's Claire and Georgie,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38but a great performance across the show.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Angharad and Claire, pipped you with the third questionnaire.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43This is where we have to say goodbye. Thank you for playing.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Claire and Georgie, great performance!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But for Angharad and Claire, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well done, Angharad and Claire, you fought off all the competition
0:34:59 > 0:35:03and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17There we are. Well, we've had really good answers from you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Right across the show, but what would you like to see in this final round?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Food and drink.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I studied History at university,
0:35:25 > 0:35:29So, a couple of history questions would be good.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31OK, well, let's see what today's choices look like.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33You need to select one of these.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47You're happy to go... Are you confident, cause I don't know.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Totally depends on the questions come up, but that is the most...
0:35:51 > 0:35:54..category I feel most confident with, but...
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- What do you have? - Any other one that you'd like to go for?
0:35:57 > 0:35:58No.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01We'll I'll go for the Edwardian Era, please.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03OK, the Edwardian Era, it is.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06OK, very, very best of luck. We are looking for...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Any of the children of Edward VII,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10with Princess or Queen Alexandra, please.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Any of the children.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15We are looking for any sports in the 1908 Summer Olympics,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18the overall sports, not the events within it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Or any cast member of Howard's End.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Any cast member of the 1992 film, Howard's End, according to IMDB.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29So, children of Edward VII, 1908 Summer Olympics sports,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31or the cast of Howard's End.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Very best of luck.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39all you need to win the jackpot is for one of your answers to be Pointless.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Are you ready?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Let's put one minute on the board.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46There it is, your time starts now.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Edward VII, Edward VII.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It will be Princess Maud of Norway, but that's the only one I know.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55But we can take a guess and output some royal names in there.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Yeah, that sounds quite obscure, that sounds right.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Never seen cast of Howard's End. No idea what that's about!
0:37:01 > 0:37:04What would be in the Summer Olympics?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- 1908?- 1908.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Things like...
0:37:08 > 0:37:09They used to have tug-of-war
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Let's try tug-of-war. - Yeah, that's a good idea.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14But they have something like archery?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Obviously, they still have that...- We can try it.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Try tug-of-war, that's a good one.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Right, tug-of-war.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Maud, we can take a guess at it?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24You know that, do you know that?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27We could, maybe, try.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30It's up to you though.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Can you think of one?
0:37:31 > 0:37:32I would think like an Albert,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34not a Victoria,
0:37:34 > 0:37:35but like an Albert or a...
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Or George.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Or Alexandra.- Alexandra? - Oh, yeah.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- I'll leave that up to you. - OK. Right.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47OK.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50That's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52What are you going to give me?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55First answer we'll go, Princess Maud,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I believe she ended up being Queen of Norway.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Princess Maud, and this, obviously, is...
0:38:00 > 0:38:01For children of Edward VII.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Yes, Princess Maud.
0:38:03 > 0:38:061908 Summer Olympics sports, we'll go for tug-of-war.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Tug-of-war.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10And the last one is a random guess,
0:38:10 > 0:38:15we're going to take a guess at a royal name for children of Edward VII.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16And I think...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18We'll go Albert.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19OK, Prince Albert.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21A prince Albert.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23So Princess Maud, tug-of-war, Prince Albert.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Of those, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Maud, I think. Yeah.- Maud. - OK, Maud goes last.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Albert, because that's the guess.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Albert goes first and tug-of-war in the middle.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Let's pop the answers on the board. Here they are...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43OK, well very, very best of luck.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Three good answers up on the board.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Let's hope one of those, at least, is Pointless.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52What would you do with that jackpot if you won it?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Angharad, you first.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I'd like to say I'd be sensible and save it,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59but I think I just shopping to be honest.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00LAUGHTER
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Claire, how about you?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Well, I'm turning 30 next year,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06so I'd spend it on a holiday to celebrate my birthday.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Very good, well, best of luck. As I say, three very good answers.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Your first answer was Albert, Prince Albert.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16In this case, we were looking for the children of Edward VII.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19You thought this was your least confident shot at a Pointless answer.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21You only have to find one to win that jackpot.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Let's see how many people said Prince Albert.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26If it's pointless it will win you £1,000.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30It's right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Down Prince Albert goes,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38through the '20s and the teens.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Are we into single digits? We are, down goes 5.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46A very, very good score there,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Unfortunately, not a Pointless answer.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Your next answer was tug-of-war.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57We were looking for sports in the 1908 Olympics.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Tug-of-war has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot for £1,000.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Let's see how many people said, tug-of-war.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Tug-of-war is right,
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Prince Albert was right,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13took us down all the way to five.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Tug-of-war takes us down through the teens,
0:40:15 > 0:40:16into single figures.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Yes, down we go, 7! Tug-of-war.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Two very, very good answers so far by the way.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Single figure scores, any of which you'd be delighted to have
0:40:24 > 0:40:26in normal gameplay, but sadly,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28it's only pointless answers that count in this last round.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31You third and final answer was Princess Maud.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Again, we're back on the children of Edward VII.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You thought this was your best shot at a Pointless answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39If it is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40How many people said Princess Maud?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45It's right!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48So, Prince Albert took us down to five,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51the tug-of-war took us down to seven.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Princess Maud, taking us down through the teens,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55into single figures, down it goes,
0:40:55 > 0:40:56past the seven, still going down, one!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Oh!- Oh!
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Oh, that's cruel.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Three exceptional answers there.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Particularly, that last one, and just a very confident
0:41:11 > 0:41:13stab at the whole thing from you in that last round.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm sorry, you didn't find that all important Pointless answer.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I'm afraid you won't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23But, you can hold your heads up so high.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26A really wonderful, strong performance right across the show.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30in recognition of that at least.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Very well done. Angharad and Claire.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Yeah, that's really unlucky.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42A great show with very worthy winners.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44As you say, went on to be Queen Maud of Norway.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I think you were saying towards the end,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49let's just try and think of some royal names.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51One of the names you said, I think, maybe...
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Our friend here made you think of it, Alexander,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57was a Pointless answer.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Two Pointless answers in that category, let's take a look.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03they were Alexander and another royal name, Louise.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06The other children were George, who would've scored you 13,
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Victoria, nine.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Let's take a look at the next category, the sports
0:42:09 > 0:42:10of the 1908 Summer Olympics.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Figure skating, this was before the winter Olympics.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Hockey would've been a Pointless answer, water motorsports,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18and Greco Roman wrestling, first time ever
0:42:18 > 0:42:20and it's been at the Olympics ever since.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Other answers you could've had are artistic gymnastics,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26lacrosse, polo, racket water polo and freestyle wrestling.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29All those were pointless answers. Well done if you'd any of those.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Let's take a look at the cast of Howard's End.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Everybody apart from, the only ones that scored points were
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham-Carter,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Vanessa Redgrave, and James Wilby. Any other answers were pointless.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Well played if you got those at home and really unlucky.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51It's been a terrific show and you've been terrific winners.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Angharad and Claire.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you so much.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Wonderful.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Well very sadly, Angharad and Claire didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09when we will be going for £2,000.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18And, it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
