0:00:15 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29and welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure, and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Hi, there, my name's James,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40this is my best friend Dougie and we're from Bournemouth.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, my name is Jake, this is my friend Joe,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44he's from Bristol, and I'm from Cheltenham.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hello.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm Julia, and this is my daughter Ellen,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51we're from Hornsea in East Yorkshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Stuart, this is my friend Russell.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58He's from Greenock, and I'm from Paisley, Scotland.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Well, thank you very much to all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We will find out more about each of you throughout the show as it goes
0:01:06 > 0:01:09along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11He's very much part of the furniture.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13In fact, he goes into storage between series.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Well, I'm obviously, you can tell, I'm not great.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Oh, yes.- Have you not, have you not seen?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Have you not seen the hour before the show everyone has been huddled around my laptop?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- No, why? - Because somebody has scratched it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40They've scratched the back of it. It's been a huge thing, the last hour.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Have they written the word on it? - They have not written a word on it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- OK, OK.- But it's definitively, it's...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm sure you can see it at home. An appalling act of wanton vandalism.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Someone has crept in. I don't know what's happened.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I do know, I do know that last night Bradley Walsh was seen walking away
0:01:54 > 0:01:56from the studio. I know that.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Bear with me, please, at home, I know it's appalling to look at,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02this terrible, terrible scar on the laptop.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04At least it works as well as it always does.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- That's the good news. - That's the good news.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Never let me down yet. - No change, there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Good.- No change there.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, now then, Fiona and Brian won the jackpot last time,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28If you remember nothing else, remember this.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated. That's the rule.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Shakespeare.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:02:45 > 0:02:46please step up to the podium.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Richard.- We're going to show you a series of lines and expressions
0:03:02 > 0:03:04from Shakespeare's plays, and the character that says them.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You need to tell us the name of the play that they are from, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09There's going to be seven on each board,
0:03:09 > 0:03:1114 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I will point out we have two teachers and an English student amongst today's contestants.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Yes.- No pressure. No pressure.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19There we are. OK, so we're looking for the Shakespeare plays
0:03:19 > 0:03:22from which these lines or expressions come.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Here's our first board of seven. And we have got...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And that's a character we used to call "Jakes", now he's pronounced "Ja-quise".
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I don't know how that happened, but that's...that's how old we are.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Yes, I know. - I'll read those one last time.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07There we are. Dougie.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08- Hi, there.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11About time somebody comes dressed appropriately.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12I know.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Now, Dougie, what do you do, Dougie?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm a deputy headteacher of a school in Poole.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You see, a school in Poole, everything he's said is just a gift.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Let's just unpack that. Deputy headteacher. Do you wear the bowtie when you're at school?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Yeah, yeah.- Good, good. Well done. School in Poole.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- It's an infants' school.- School in Poole, it's an infants' school.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32We don't touch on Shakespeare.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33OK. Well, that's OK.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37You're allowed to have studied it yourself.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- What do you teach? - I don't teach any more.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're just... You're a figurehead?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Yeah, kind of management, but my background is early years,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47so I taught early years for five years, before I joined the school.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- I see. That wasn't at the school in Poole?- Different school in Poole.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- OK, a different school in Poole. - Different school, yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- OK.- It's good to rule the school in Poole, though, isn't it?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59He's no fool. Ruling that school, the school in Poole that's an infants' school.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Oh, that's cool.- Is it?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02LAUGHTER
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Now, Dougie.- Yep.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08From this board, what would you like to go for?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm going to take a guess.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14"Murder most foul", I'm going to go with Hamlet.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Hamlet. OK, Hamlet, says Dougie, let's see if that's right for the ghost.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24It's right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30There we are! 17. APPLAUSE
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Dougie, that was no guess.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34It was!
0:05:34 > 0:05:3517, great start to the round.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yeah, well played, Dougie.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Reputation absolutely intact.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Phew!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42There we are, thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Joe. Welcome back.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Remind us what you do, Joe?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I work as a printing company manager in Bristol.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51That's right. And you print all manner of things?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yeah, just... We...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Kind of personalised things, really, mainly.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Mugs, cups...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Mouse mats, T-shirts, all that kind of stuff, really.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Very good. And Joe, what are your interests?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05What keeps you happy?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Normal stuff, really. I follow football quite closely, go to the cinema...
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Our dog loves following the football quite closely, he can do that...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Just follows it along with his nose, he'll sort of push it along.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Now, Joe, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Quite stuck. I've got the names of the plays in my head but I'm just
0:06:25 > 0:06:27having trouble matching them up.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I think I'm going to have to go for one that I believe is right,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35and go "star-cross'd lovers", which would be Romeo And Juliet.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Romeo And Juliet, says Joe.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said Romeo And Juliet.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's right. Well, 17...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46that's our only score so far. 59.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It's genuinely extraordinary how many words and expressions
0:06:54 > 0:06:56first used by Shakespeare that we still use today.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Thank you, Richard. Julia.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Julia, welcome back. Now, we had to say goodbye to you far too soon last time.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- You did.- Round one. Remind us what you do, Julia.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I'm a GP.- You are a GP.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Who is holding the fort at the moment or are you on holiday?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14My hugely capable colleagues, I hope, are holding the fort.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Yeah.- And Julia, what do you love getting up to in East Yorkshire?
0:07:17 > 0:07:23I do a lot of reading, I like going to the cinema and watching film,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I've travelled a bit as well, I like travelling, yeah, yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Do you see much Shakespeare?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Occasionally. Well, Ellen's very keen on Shakespeare, so...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh, she landed you in it there!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Did you see what she did, Ellen?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39"Well, of course Ellen is the Shakespeare expert in our house.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41"There's nothing she doesn't know!"
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Good. So you go along with Ellen?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I do. Yes, yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now, Julia, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I know one of them for definite, I think.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55The second one.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Which is, I think, from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02The second one. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Oh, I'm afraid not from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13That scores you 100 points.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14I'm sorry, Julia.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Ellen just gave her mum such a look.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Not for the first time.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The good news is that Ellen is brilliant and knows
0:08:20 > 0:08:23everything about Shakespeare, so they'll be fine on the second pass.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25They'll be fine on the second pass. Stuart, welcome to the show.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Hi.- Great to have you here, from Paisley.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Yes.- And what do you do, Stuart?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- I'm a mental health nurse. - Right you are.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And what else do you like getting up to up there in Paisley?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I like to travel, go to the cinema, take my dog for walks.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And what sort of dog have you got, Stuart?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43He's a Dalmatian crossbreed.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Does he follow football as well?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Follows it around the back garden quite a lot, yep.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Very good. This board is all yours, Stuart.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51How are we feeling about these Shakespeare plays?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54This is terrible. The two I've read are answered already.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56So I'm going to have to take a guess,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58and I will go with "what the Dickens".
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And As You Like It?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02"What the Dickens", As You Like It, says Stuart.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said As You Like It.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm afraid not As You Like It.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13This is cheering news for Julia.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15She's now got company up there at 100, but, yes,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, too.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Yeah, unlucky, but don't forget also, Russell is a Shakespeare expert as well.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So think it's going to be spectacular on the way back down.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Now, you'll be good at Shakespeare, I suspect.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29The top one, "a dish fit for the gods"?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Julius Caesar. - Is from Julius Caesar.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Would have scored you 21 points.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34"If music be the food of love, play on."
0:09:34 > 0:09:38This I happen to know is a part that has been played by you.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yes, it was played by me.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42At Warden Park, in the fifth year play.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Twelfth Night. Can you think of a better Count Orsino?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I was terrific. I'll be honest with you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Six points. I was great.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53"We are such stuff as dreams are made on.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55"And our little lives are rounded with a sleep."
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- The Tempest.- From the Tempest.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Absolutely. So beautiful.
0:09:59 > 0:10:0115 points from that. "What the Dickens" is actually from...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Do know that one? That's a tough one.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Mistress Page, I think, is The Merry Wives Of Windsor.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Merry Wives Of Windsor is the right answer.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Would have scored you 4 points. And "all the world's a stage?"
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- That is from As You Like It. - That is from As You Like It, yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Jay-quise. - And that would have scored 4,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- so Merry Wives Of Windsor and As You Like It the best answers there. - Thanks very much, indeed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. Well, 17, Dougie,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24unwittingly the best score of the pass.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Or maybe wittingly, actually, maybe you knew it after all.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Then we travel up to 59, Joe and Jake, not bad at all.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Then it is 100, I'm afraid, for Stuart and Russell, and Julia and Ellen.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, Ellen, our resident Shakespeare expert, and Russell,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39our resident Shakespeare expert, it is between the pair of you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We going to come back down the line, now.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48OK. We're going to put seven more lines and expressions
0:10:48 > 0:10:51from Shakespeare up on the board. Here they are.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30There we go. Now, then, Russell. Welcome.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Welcome. And what do you do, Russell?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm a psychiatric nurse in Glasgow.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Do you work alongside Stuart?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39We used to work in the same ward, now we're on separate wards,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41but the same hospital.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42What are your interests, Russell?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, very much a family man, nowadays,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I spend a lot of time with my wee boy Rory, and my wife,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50just fun days out,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54he loves funfairs and days to like safari parks and such.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Now, Russell,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59we have a contest on our hands here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01What are you going to go for on this board?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02We need a low score.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I've a couple I'm not too sure about,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09but I think I'm going to go for "pound of flesh", Shylock,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- The Merchant Of Venice.- The Merchant Of Venice, says Russell.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14No red line for you, you're the high scorers,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17but let's see how far down the column we get with The Merchant Of Venice.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21It's right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:2637.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27APPLAUSE
0:12:27 > 0:12:29137 is your total.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, well played, Russell, nice answer, and again,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36all of these were used in Shakespeare, all of those expressions.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38There's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And so many coinages, so many words that he's just made up.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah, turned nouns into verbs, and all sorts of things.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yeah.- Fabulous.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Now, Ellen. Ellen, welcome back.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Remind us what you do.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I'm an English student in Newcastle.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Exactly. Exactly.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56An ENGLISH student in Newcastle.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Also the resident Shakespeare expert,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03for the whole of East Yorkshire, I believe.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07What are your hobbies, Ellen?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I like reading, I like literature,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13which kind of comes with the territory,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I guess. I'm quite musical, I play trombone in a colliery band
0:13:17 > 0:13:19in a town called Backworth near Newcastle.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22That's fun! How long have you been part of that?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23About a year now, yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Brilliant. So, you joined when you went up to university?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Yes, when I went to university. It's a lot of fun, I really enjoy it.- Very exciting. Now, Ellen,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32we need 36 or less from you,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35otherwise you will be leaving at the end of this round,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and that simply can't happen again.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I know, I think, most of them, I just...
0:13:40 > 0:13:45It's just hard to know which ones are going to be lower than others.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I think I'm going to go for...
0:13:49 > 0:13:54"There live we as merry as the day is long" - Much Ado About Nothing.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Much Ado About Nothing, says Ellen, for the Beatrice quote.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Get below that, you're with us for Round Two.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04It's right.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Oh, you're through, well done!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You've... CHEERING
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh, that's a good score! Eight!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Our best score so far, in fact.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Yeah, that's very well played, Ellen as well.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20We put an awful lot of pressure on Ellen, there.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- We did.- And you came good, so congratulations.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Now then, Jake...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28or Jay-quie, as we now pronounce it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Jake, welcome back to Pointless.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Good to have you here. What do you do, Jake?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm a primary school teacher.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Right. So, primary school, again, no Shakespeare on your curriculum, there?- I've got an excuse.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45I'm a reception teacher, and we like picture books at the moment.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- This is not good for me. - That's fair enough.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Now, Jake,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53you're on 59. If you can score 77 or less,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56you're into the next round.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57OK.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02It's a bit of a guess, actually, the one that I'm going to go for.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I could guess at two,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06but I know that any correct answer will see me through,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10so I'm going to go for the more obvious one, I hope, I think,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13"But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve"
0:15:13 > 0:15:16is A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21A Midsummer Night's Dream,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24for Iago. There is your red line.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27If you get below that red line, you're into the next round.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30How many of our 100 people said A Midsummer Night's Dream?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36No, I'm sorry, Jake,
0:15:36 > 0:15:37that scores you 100 points
0:15:37 > 0:15:39and takes your total up to 159.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Yeah, sorry, Jake, I'll give the correct answer to that one at the end of the pass.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Now then, James, welcome.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Hello.- Good to have you here, James,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- from Bournemouth. What do you do? - I'm an events manager,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I run corporate events.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54See, that's quite fun, isn't it, running events?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Are they all fun events? - They are, they're good fun events,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59we do some more training events and things like that,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00but I also run things like...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03We took 75 people to Ascot this year, and stuff like that, so...
0:16:03 > 0:16:04See, that's nice, isn't it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Yeah.- Now, James, what are your hobbies?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I do musical theatre.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Dougie and I actually own a musical theatre company back in Bournemouth
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- with a couple of friends.- You own a musical theatre company?!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Yeah, we run it, so we are producers, now. So, yeah.- Wow!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, you put on commercial enterprises?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21This is no am dram, it's...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23No, it is am dram, it is am dram.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- It is, I see.- An am dram company, but, yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Excellent. Well, good for you. Now, great news. It doesn't matter what you score,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31you're still through to the next round.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35But, James, how about doing a little tidy up, here,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and filling in all those blanks?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'm pretty sure I know two of them.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I would say Iago was Othello.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47"Pitched battle", Petruchio, would be Taming Of The Shrew.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And I'm guessing that "at one fell swoop", Macduff, would be Macbeth,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53but I'm not sure.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57But I think I'm going to go Iago, Othello.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00OK. Othello, says James.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Well, again, no red line, as I said, because you are already through.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Let's see how many people said Othello.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08It's right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14APPLAUSE
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Very well done indeed. 13.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Takes your total up to 30.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Very much the lowest total of the round.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21- Well done.- Yeah, very well played.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23You missed a much lower-scoring answer,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26because you're right about "pitched battle", Petruchio.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It is Taming Of The Shrew.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30That would have scored you 3 points.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Of course, you're right about Macduff and Macbeth,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36that's the biggest scorer. That would have scored you 52.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Now, "The course of true love never did run smooth"?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Is... That IS A Midsummer Night's Dream.- A Midsummer Night's Dream, yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44That would have scored you 9, and "a good riddance."
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Do you know that? That's the best answer on the board.- No! I don't know that one.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- It is Troilus And Cressida. - Oh, Troilus And Cressida.- Very well done if you said that at home.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- 2 points. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57So, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home with their high score of 159,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00it's Jake and Joe. I'm so sorry.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I was thinking you were going to go all the way through to the final,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05this time round, because Round Two was pretty harsh for you last time,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I know, but I'm afraid it's Round One, this time.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I'm so sorry. It's been wonderful having you on the show,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but this is where we have to say goodbye. Thanks so much for playing. Jake and Joe!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16APPLAUSE
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Well done, everyone,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29we've managed to clear the hurdle that was the Shakespeare round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Here we are in Round Two, and a particular well done to Ellen,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35you lived up to your billing perfectly, a lovely low score there,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37with Much Ado About Nothing.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43World Geography.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45There we are. We've done English, now it's geography.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52please step up to the podium.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Richard.- Yeah, we are looking for any country of the world that has at
0:19:09 > 0:19:11least one repeated consonant in its name, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14In its usual short form name in English. As always, by country,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Dougie.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Always tough going first.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Yeah, geography's not a strong point of mine, unfortunately.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But I'm it's guessing a country with double consonants in the name,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- so I'm going to go with Morocco. - Morocco. Morocco, says Dougie.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Morocco.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36It's quite right.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43APPLAUSE There we are. 13.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Good answer, Dougie, well done. 13 for Morocco.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well played, Dougie, that's got two Cs in it, they're next to each other, even!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Look at that.- They don't have to be, but they happen to be.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Good, good. Now, Ellen.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh. New Zealand.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- New Zealand...- Yeah.- ..says Ellen.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said New Zealand.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16There we are! 14!
0:20:16 > 0:20:17APPLAUSE
0:20:19 > 0:20:2014 for New Zealand.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Yeah, two Ns there, New Zealand.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Quite a long way away from each other.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Two Ns, two Es, two As...- But they're not consonants, are they?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29LAUGHTER
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I know, but when it comes to...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'm just saying.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39In terms of New Zealand, a lot of the cast are doubling up and playing...
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Yes, no, you are...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well, well covered. Yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Yeah. Thanks for helping me out, you're absolutely right.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Vowels, consonants. I remember them now.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- I remember them now.- Yeah. - Now, Russell, Russell...
0:20:52 > 0:20:53What are you going to go for?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I'm going to go for Tajikstan.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Tajikstan, says Russell.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00OK, let's see if that's right,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03let's see how many of our 100 people said Tajikstan.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07It's right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14CHEERING
0:21:14 > 0:21:16There we are, Russell, that is a pointless answer.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21taking the total up to £1,250.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23And it scores you nothing.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Very well done.- Yes, TajikIstan.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30But I think "Tajikstan" is just about close enough to be acceptable.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Oh, thank you very much. We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Well done, Russell. Russell and Stuart looking very good on nothing.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Then, we travel up to 13 when we find Dougie and James,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41then up to 14, Ellen and Julia.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You find yourself out in front, here, Julia. We need a bit of magic.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Time for you to pay back the debt
0:21:46 > 0:21:49that you owe Ellen from Round One, there.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Best of luck with that low score, Julia, should keep you in the game.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56We're going to come back down the line now, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, then, Stuart.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Remember, we are looking for the name of any country with repeated
0:22:04 > 0:22:05consonants in its name.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08This is...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I've got a few going round my head,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14and I'm hoping I'm getting the pronunciation proper of this...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Mayamar.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Mayamar, says Stuart.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Mayamar. Well, you want to score 13 or less.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24There is your red line. Let's see if Mayamar is right.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31No.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm afraid it's not right, Stuart. That scores you 100 points,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36takes your total up to 100.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Yeah, unfortunately I can't accept that answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Julia.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Phew, let's just say.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47That's helped you out considerably, there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49If you could score 85 or less, Julia, you are...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51You're into the head-to-head.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's quite difficult to think of ones with the same consonants.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But I think I'm going to go for...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Trinidad and Tobago.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Trinidad and Tobago says Julia.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Here is your red line. Get below this red line, nice and high,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and you are through to the next round. How many people said that?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18One.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19APPLAUSE
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Takes your total up to 15.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Yeah, very well played, Julia.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28All the letters are in there as well.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Which is great.- Thank you very much. Now, James,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34what would you like to go for?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35And again, a lovely low score from Dougie
0:23:35 > 0:23:37in the first pass means you only
0:23:37 > 0:23:40have to score 86 or less.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I would like to go for Costa Rica.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Costa Rica.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45There is your red line.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Can you get below that red line with Costa Rica?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Yes, you can.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57There we are! It's another pointless answer.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Very well done indeed,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01that adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03taking the total up to £1,500.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Scores you nothing.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Leaves your total at 13.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09For the second round running, you are the lowest scorers.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Great work, James, yeah, very good answer indeed.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Now, Stuart and Russell, it's Myanmar, rather than Mayamar.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So sorry about that, gents.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There's quite a few.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You could have had...Costa Rica, we've seen,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Dominican Republic, El Salvador,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Eritrea, Georgia, Liechtenstein.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28That's got all sorts of ones in there, hasn't it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You could have also had Antigua and Barbuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Kyrgyzstan. You could have had Mozambique, San Marino, Timor-Leste,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42and United Arab Emirates, those were all pointless answers,
0:24:42 > 0:24:43and very well done if you said one of those.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let's take a look at the top three,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00So, at the end of our second round, I'm sorry to say,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Stuart and Russell, it is to you we have to say goodbye.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04High score of 100, there.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Well, well done on the pointless answer,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and you were very close with Myanmar,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12but I'm afraid, yeah, no cigar, there in the event.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15We'll see you again next time, we look forward to that very much,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18but in the meantime, thanks very much, Stuart and Russell.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:21 > 0:25:25But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Very well done, James and Dougie,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Julia and Ellen, you are now one step closer to the final,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40which currently stands at £1,500.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, you know the deal. From here on in, you can play as pairs,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45you can chat, before you give your answers,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Well, Julia and Ellen, very well done indeed,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Round One we said goodbye to you last time.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Here you are in the head-to-head.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56What's nice is there's been good teamwork.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You've each taken turns to dig the other one out, which has been great.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02And James and Dougie, see, this is what happens.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04You wear a bow tie to Pointless...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You will get through to the head-to-head, quite often as the lowest scoring pair.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08So, well done.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Good pointless answering there as well in the second round.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Here is your first question.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22And it's all about...
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures, now, of famous people called Paul.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Can you tell us who is the most obscure, please?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK, let's reveal our famous Pauls, and here they are.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We've got...
0:26:56 > 0:27:00There you go. Five famous Pauls.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03James and Dougie, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Have to be honest with you, we only know one, so we're going to play it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We're going with C, Paul Daniels.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13OK, Paul Daniels, say James and Dougie.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Now, Julia and Allen, do you fancy talking us through the other Pauls?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17I don't know A and B.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I know D and E.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And I think we'll go with D, which is Paul Ince.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Paul Ince, say Julia and Ellen.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So, we have Daniels and we have Ince.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30James and Dougie have gone for Paul Daniels for C,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35It is right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, 78 for Paul Daniels.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Now, then, Julia and Ellen, you have gone for Paul Ince for D.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Let's see how many people said Paul Ince.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Well done, wins you the point.
0:27:56 > 0:27:5724.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58APPLAUSE
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Which means Julia and Ellen, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well played. Yeah, the first two are the low answers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08The last one that you knew as well is...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Paul Newman, yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13He would have scored you 53.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Now, A, one of the great singers of the 20th century.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- Yes.- His version of Old Man River is the sort of classic.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Paul Robeson.- Robeson, yeah.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Would have scored you three points, and the best answer on the board...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It was Mitt Romney's running mate in 2012, and it's Paul Ryan.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Would have scored you one point,
0:28:36 > 0:28:37very well done if you said that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39There we are.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41A very low hairline, Paul Ryan.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Really low hairline.- I mean that's why he's Romney's...
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Because Romney had a slightly higher one, so he needed someone with a slightly lower one.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52That's just a tiny little strait of skin between the brow and the hairline, there.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I mean, there must be a moment when the hairline must have thought,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57"Shall we just... We could just annex the eyebrows, just..."
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Yeah, just join up. Just join up, and suddenly,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04suddenly you've got a Wookiee as Vice President of the United States.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- What's wrong with that? - Nothing wrong with that.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Exactly. I would like that, too.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- If I was running for president, I would have a Wookiee as my running mate.- Always. Always.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Who's not voting for a Wookiee?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16What have you got to say that about that, Paul Ryan?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18BOTH MAKE WOOKIEE NOISE
0:29:18 > 0:29:19LAUGHTER
0:29:20 > 0:29:23OK. Now, here is your second question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26James and Dougie, you have to win this one to stay in the game. So, best of luck.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29It's all about...
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Richard.- We're going to show you the names, now, of five common kitchen utensils, but
0:29:36 > 0:29:38we've missed out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps, please?
0:29:38 > 0:29:44OK. So, let's reveal our five kitchen utensils with bits missing
0:29:44 > 0:29:45and here they are.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Julia and Ellen will go first.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:30:19 > 0:30:23We're going to go for the last one, which is measuring jug.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Measuring jug, say Julia and Ellen, measuring jug.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Now, James and Dougie, it's over to you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29That was the one I was going to go for.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I know all of them, but I don't know which ones...
0:30:32 > 0:30:37Talk us through. Potato peeler, egg timer, cheese grater, and rolling pin.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I think I'm going to have to go for cheese grater.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- Yeah.- Cheese grater.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43See, this is going to be close, I think.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Measuring jug and cheese grater.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Julia and Ellen went for measuring jug,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53It's right.
0:30:54 > 0:30:5569.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56APPLAUSE
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Meanwhile, James and Dougie have gone for cheese grater.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It's right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Oh, and it wins the point. There we are! Cheese grater!
0:31:12 > 0:31:15They did you a favour, there, James and Dougie,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17and you're back in the game. Very well done.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Rolling pin would have scored you 85.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Egg timer would have scored you 92,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30so the best answer on the board is the top one, which is potato peeler,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32and would have scored you 46.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34There you are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36OK, so it all comes down to this third question.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Our third question today concerns...
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Richard.- Just going to show you five clues, now,
0:31:50 > 0:31:54and the answers to each of them are people who appeared on the front cover of Rolling Stone.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Can you tell us who they are, please?- OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58We've got...
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I'm going to read those one last time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32There we are. James and Dougie, you will go first.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36OK. Do you want to go for it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40OK. I can only work out one.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45I think... The song Sledgehammer is Paul Weller?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48OK. Paul Weller, say James and Dougie.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Now, Julia and Ellen, talk us through that board.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54I know two of them.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I don't know the second one.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03The author of Breakfast At Tiffany's is Truman Capote
0:33:03 > 0:33:06and the last one is Neil Diamond.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09I think...
0:33:09 > 0:33:10We'll go for Truman Capote.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Now, then, James and Dougie have gone for Paul Weller,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19the singer of Sledgehammer. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I'm afraid not Paul Weller.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Which means Julia and Ellen,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26you merely have to be correct with Truman Capote,
0:33:26 > 0:33:28and you are through to the final.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Truman Capote.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Absolutely right. Well done.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Good answer! Scores you 12.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44But the important thing is it was correct, which means,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47after three questions, Julia and Ellen, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Yes, best answer on the board as well.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Truman Capote. Well done.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Sledgehammer's Peter Gabriel, not Paul Weller.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Peter Gabriel would have scored you 46.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Angelina Jolie's father...
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Jon Voight.- John Voight.
0:33:59 > 0:34:0135 for that.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05The number one singles You Make Me Wanna, and Burn is Usher.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- There we are.- Usher. Would have scored you 19.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11And you're quite right about Neil Diamond, the biggest scorer.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14In fact, the biggest scorer of all, 58 points.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20So, at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid the pair who are leaving us, James and Dougie,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22low scorers through rounds one and two.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25But then, you came up against Julia and Ellen.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28We'll see you again, next time, though, we'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- In the meantime, thanks very much, James and Dougie. - Best of luck.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37But, for Julia and Ellen, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Very well done, Julia and Ellen, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:54 > 0:34:59and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,500.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Well, Round One last time.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04This time, through to the final.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06That happens so often.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Harry Potter.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Ellen knows everything.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Well, I'm putting her in that position again!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Aren't I? I'd better not say anything, had I?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Films...- Films... Medicine, for me. - Medicine, well, there we are.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Wouldn't that be great. Wouldn't that... Medicine and Harry Potter.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Some weird hybrid round.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Superb. Well, best of luck.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31We've got...
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Space exploration could be...
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I don't know. I think we'll have to go with the first one.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I think we'd better go for the actors, actors called Robert.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Actors called Robert, Richard.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52OK. Very best of luck. We are looking for any feature film
0:35:52 > 0:35:55made for cinema release up to the end of April 2015
0:35:55 > 0:35:58starring any of the following three, please.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02We are looking for any Robert Duvall films,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05we are looking for any Robert Carlyle films,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07we are looking for any Robert Pattinson films.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09So three very different actors, there.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13So, any feature film starring one of those three gentlemen up to the end of April 2015.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18As always you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Speak up.- The only one I know is Robert Pattinson.- OK, which Harry Potter... He was in two.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35He was in the fourth one and then he was in flashbacks in the fifth one,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38so people might not realise that he was in the fifth,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40but I don't know if he will have been credited.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45OK, we'll go for that one. Robert Duvall is the actor that was in the Godfather films, so we could go...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I don't know whether he was in Godfather III,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49but we could go for Godfather II.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50But if someone said Godfather I,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52they're more likely to just go on and say the rest.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Maybe, yes. Possibly.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Robert Carlyle is the guy from Trainspotting.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- Oh, OK.- And he was in the Bond film where he played the man who had the...
0:37:01 > 0:37:03The bullet in his brain.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04What was that one called?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06About the pipeline.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Another Robert Pattinson film is... - All the Twilight films.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Water For Elephants. - Oh, Water For Elephants?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Yeah.- Yeah, let's go for that.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Shall we go Godfather III... - Ten seconds left.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- And the last Harry Potter... - No, the fifth Harry Potter.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22- Yeah.- OK.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- The last one?- No, the fifth one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27The Order Of The Phoenix.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Sounds like you've got three good answers, though.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32What are you going to go for?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35We'll go for Godfather II.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Yes, Godfather II. - For Robert Duvall.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- For Robert Duvall.- And then Water For Elephants, Robert Pattinson.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- Water For Elephants.- And we're hoping that people won't know that he was in flashbacks,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50I'm sure he was in flashbacks at the beginning of the film Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- The last...- Order Of The Phoenix. - OK, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- The Godfather?- The Godfather II. - The Godfather II.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07OK. Well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09and here they are.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Well, very best of luck.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Three good answers on the board, there, for actors called Robert.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21What would you do with that jackpot if you were to win, now?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23£1,500.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I'd quite like to go and see...
0:38:25 > 0:38:29I'm a massive musicals fan, and I've never seen Les Miserables in the West End,
0:38:29 > 0:38:34and it's one of my favourites, so I'd quite like to go and see that with friends.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Very good. Julia?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Well, Ellen's also hoping to learn to drive,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41so maybe she might spend it on some driving lessons,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43and I might let her spend it on that,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45because I don't have to teach her to drive, then.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- So that might be... - You might let her spend her half.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Or you might give her your half?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I wouldn't have to teach her to drive.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK. Very good. Well, best of luck, as I say, three good answers.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57The first answer was The Godfather: Part II.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00In this case, we were looking for Robert Duvall films.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04If this is pointless, it will win you £1,500.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08How many of our 100 people said The Godfather: Part II?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Well, it's right.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Let's see how far down the column it goes.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17If it goes all the way to zero,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20obviously you will leave here with that jackpot of £1,500.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Down it goes, through the teens, into single figures.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Still going down...to three!
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Three! For Robert Duvall's The Godfather: Part II.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28APPLAUSE
0:39:29 > 0:39:31That's a great score.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35I think that bodes quite well for our 100 people and their intimate
0:39:35 > 0:39:36knowledge of films. Who knows?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I don't know. Maybe it's just their knowledge of Robert Duvall films.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Only two more shots, though, at today's jackpot.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Your second answer was Water For Elephants.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46In this case, we were looking for Robert Pattinson films.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Again, if it's pointless, it will win you £1,500.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Let's see how many people said Water For Elephants.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56It's right.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Well, that little-known film, The Godfather: Part II
0:39:58 > 0:40:00took us all the way down to three.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02So, let's see how far down the column
0:40:02 > 0:40:04we get with Water For Elephants.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06We pass into single figures.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Eight.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08APPLAUSE
0:40:11 > 0:40:12OK.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15I think our 100 people are more familiar with Robert Pattinson films
0:40:15 > 0:40:18therefore than they are with Robert Duvall, but anyway, there we are,
0:40:18 > 0:40:19still a nice low score.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23You are banking on everyone having forgotten that he was in the fifth Harry Potter film.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- I'm doubting myself.- That's because he only appeared in flashbacks.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Yeah, I think... Oh, God.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I'm doubting myself, now, but...
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Your mother said you knew everything there was to know about Harry Potter.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Ellen, have faith.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39If this is right, and if it's pointless, it will win you £1,500.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Let see how many of our 100 people named Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
0:40:43 > 0:40:45as a Robert Pattinson film.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47If it's pointless, it will win you £1,500.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52It is right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56There we are. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58The Godfather: Part II took us down to three,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Water For Elephants took us down to eight,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix passes eight, down it goes,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05passes three, down... Well done!
0:41:05 > 0:41:06CHEERING
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Superb! Very well done indeed. Brilliant!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Well, congratulations.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix was a pointless answer.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Which means, there we are, you shall learn to drive!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Fantastic. Very well done indeed.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32You win that jackpot of £1,500.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yeah, that's the way you win Pointless, Ellen.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Very well done. As you say,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43he's literally in the tiny little flashback archive scenes
0:41:43 > 0:41:46and credited at the end of it, and, you know, well,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48your mum said you knew all about Harry Potter, and you do.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51And someone's just paid you £1,500 because of it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54So, well done. Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Robert Duvall, first, lots of big films,
0:41:56 > 0:41:57pointless answers here.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04The Godfather films
0:42:04 > 0:42:06and Apocalypse Now were the big scorers for him.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Falling Down, The Judge also scored a few points.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Lots of pointless answers for him.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Robert Carlyle now.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Again, the scorers for him.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Full Monty was the biggest scorer, then Trainspotting, both big scorers, those.
0:42:24 > 0:42:2728 Weeks Later, The Beach, The 51st State, The World Is Not Enough,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30which is the Bond film that you mentioned would have scored you two points.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Plunkett And Macleane, which you were in, weren't you?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Oh, yes.- Ravenous and Flood, they all scored points as well.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39But everything else is a pointless answer, so very well done if you said something else.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Robert Pattinson now. Four pointless answers for you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52The Twilight films were by far the biggest scorers in that category,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54but you don't mind at all what scored what points,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57because Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix was pointless.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Very well played.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Thanks very much, Richard. And thanks, once again, to our winning players, Julia and Ellen,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05who go away with today's jackpot of £1,500.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Very well done.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Join us next time, when we will be
0:43:11 > 0:43:13putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
