0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:28 > 0:00:31is to score as few points as you can, and you do that by coming up
0:00:31 > 0:00:33with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- And couple number one. - Hello, Alexander, I'm Pauline,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43this is my friend and colleague Christine,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44and we are from the Isle of Arran.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number two. - Hi, Alexander, I am Johnny,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49this is my friend Duncan, and we are from Newcastle.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Couple number three.- Hi, Alexander.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm Jackie and this is my daughter, Lucy.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I live in Cheshire and Lucy lives in London.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Neil, this is my friend Katy, and we are from St Andrews.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Lovely to have you here. We'll find out more about you through the show as it goes along.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Here to inject a bit of intellect to the proceedings,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18like our very own unregistered GP,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Afternoon. Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- How are you?- Do you know, I must not grumble.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- I just can't.- Out of ten?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm going to put it up in the nines, I think.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Really?- I'm keeping that last bit just for space.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You can't say ten, otherwise that would be awful.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- There is nowhere to go. - Nowhere to go from there.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- 8.9 for me.- Oh. OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Woke up with a slight back twinge. It's gone, completely gone.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52But you know, it's still there, the memory of it is there.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I don't want anyone to worry about me.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I am so absolutely fine. I can see the concern on your faces.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Genuinely, it's OK. I wouldn't even have mentioned it
0:01:59 > 0:02:01if he hadn't brought it up.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I did bring it up.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05One returning pair from the last show, Jackie and Lucy,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06who got all the way to the head-to-head,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08played terrifically well.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They will be hard to beat today, and three brand-new pairs,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13including a pair from one of my favourite places in Britain,
0:02:13 > 0:02:14the lovely Isle of Arran.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Beautiful.- Wonderful. - You ever been?- No.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Oh, you must.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I've seen the jumpers, though.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23LAUGHTER
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- You should go now. Go now. - All right.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Hello, Sue Barker? I wonder...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31LAUGHTER
0:02:31 > 0:02:33No, Sue's not available. You're going have to come and do it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I've just been.- Did you like it? - It's absolutely beautiful.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I didn't realise it was on the west coast. Beautiful.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- By Troon and Ayrshire, just there. - How did you get there?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Well, I went bus, train, plane, train, boat, Arran. Wahey!
0:02:47 > 0:02:48And back?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Back, I just went like that, like in Rent-a-Ghost
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and got back in seconds flat.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Very good. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Now, Joel and Jondy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01so we add another £1,000 to that jackpot,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05and today's one starts off at £2,250.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18OK, remember this, the pair with the highest score
0:03:18 > 0:03:21at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That is the rule. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45European Capitals of Culture. Richard.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47On each board we are going to show you seven clues,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and the answers to each of those clues is a city
0:03:49 > 0:03:51which has been a European City of Culture.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53There will be 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Very best of luck.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59OK - which European Cities of Culture are these?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00We have got...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I will read all of those again.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- There we are. Pauline, welcome. - Thank you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- From the Isle of Arran.- Yes.- Lovely.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58How did you get here?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Ferry, train, plane, train, bus.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Boat-train-plane-train-bus. OK.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- What do you do up in Arran? - I'm a school secretary.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10How long have you been the school secretary?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- About 16 years, I think it is now. - Wow.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14How many schools are there on Arran?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Well, there are seven primaries and one high school,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19and I work at the high school.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So you basically know every child on Arran.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- School-age children. - School-age children.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28That's quite an intelligence you have got there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30What a resource. Absolutely fantastic.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33What do you do when school's out?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36When school's out, I like to do a lot of keep-fit,
0:05:36 > 0:05:41I do a wee bit of running, Zumba, aerobics, walking as well.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Building up an Arran sweat.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Well, you've the wrong Arran, Alexander.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- Oh, no, have I?- Yes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I can't believe it. How embarrassing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52The Aran sweater you are thinking of is actually Irish.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55We're double R. It's a different place.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Can I just say?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Can I just say, thank goodness,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00cos I don't like those sweaters at all.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02LAUGHTER
0:06:02 > 0:06:08Phew! What a relief. I couldn't have kept that up all show.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Pauline, what would you like to go for
0:06:10 > 0:06:12on our board of European Cities of Culture?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I am afraid I'm not a very cultured person,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16so I don't really know an awful lot of these,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19apart from the obvious one at the bottom.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I think I'll go for number two,
0:06:21 > 0:06:22and say Liverpool.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Liverpool, says Pauline. Let's see if Liverpool's right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Liverpool.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3565.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's not bad. 65.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Gets the ball rolling.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41An awful lot better than 100.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And Albert Dock, of course, is where they used to do This Morning
0:06:44 > 0:06:46back when we were young.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Duncan, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- From Newcastle.- Just about, yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Just about.- Yeah. - Where are you from?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Leicester originally - I moved to Newcastle when I was about two.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, I see. That is fair enough. From two, that is OK.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01What do you do in Newcastle?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- University student.- What are you studying and what year are you in?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Marketing, and I'm on my third year, on a placement year at the moment.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Oh, that's fun. Whereabouts are you doing that?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12In a company in Gateshead, digital marketing company.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Have you enjoyed it? - Really good. Really good.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Good, good. Now, Duncan, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22The city that hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Glasgow.- Glasgow, says Duncan. Glasgow.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Pauline thought that was too obvious, went for Liverpool.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Let's see where Glasgow ends up.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Is it right? Let's find out how many people said it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It is right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Oh - 69.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yeah, good choice, Pauline.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4169 for Glasgow.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Home to Scottish Opera and Scottish Ballet
0:07:44 > 0:07:46and the Royal Scottish Orchestra and all sorts of things.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Kelvin Hall.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Another beautiful city, isn't it? - It's a great place.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Must be the nearest city to Arran, as well, isn't it, Glasgow?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- It is, yes. - I don't know if you know this,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57not where they make Aran sweaters.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- No. - That is a different Aran.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Lucy.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Head-to-headers last time.- We did.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Stalwart performance, in fact, last time around.- Thank you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Remind us what you do, Lucy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- I produce TV commercials. - Indeed.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Do you go abroad to film often? - Yes, I do.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16They used to shoot a lot in South Africa, didn't they?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I have shot in South Africa a few times.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I've shot in the Czech Republic a few times.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Could come in handy, couldn't it? - It could come in handy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Have you ever had to do any pet food commercials?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31No. I never have.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I once had to voice a pet food commercial
0:08:32 > 0:08:34for a cat food commercial
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and I did wonder how they got the cat to do those things.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41They can do some pretty good stuff, those cats.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43They can do some extraordinary things.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- They can.- My goodness.- Yeah. - What that feline couldn't do.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Anyway, I was hoping you would be able to spill the beans, but there we are.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Lucy, what would you like to go for?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54There is one I could guess at,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57but I think I'll play it safe
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and go for Czech Republic city,
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Prague.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Prague, says Lucy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Prague.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's right. Well, you passed both our existing scores
0:09:10 > 0:09:11to get down to 60.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Still a nice and close grouping, there.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yes, European Capital of Culture in 2000, Prague.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Neil.- Hi.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you. From St Andrews.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yeah, I am from Edinburgh, but I studied in St Andrews.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Very good. What are you studying there?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- I've actually graduated recently, so in maths.- In maths.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34What are you going to do? Do you have anything lined up?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I actually do have a job as a trainee actuary.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Is that sort of legal, isn't it? No?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- It's...pensions and insurance, but in London.- I see.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- So you're moving down here?- Yes.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Have you found where to live in London?- No, no.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- That's your next... - Everybody asks that question.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Right. Good luck with that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57You might find you have to commute from Edinburgh, you never know.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Beautiful commute. - Yeah, lovely commute.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Bus, plane, boat, train, bus, plane. LAUGHTER
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Now, Neil, this board, we have kept it all for you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11If you want to go through it and fill in all the blanks...
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I think the former capital of Poland might be Krakow.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The city in northern France, I have no idea.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I would guess the Estonian city is Tallinn,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23because I can only name one.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24I do know that the Spanish city
0:10:24 > 0:10:27served by Barajas International Airport -
0:10:27 > 0:10:29cos I think I've been in it -
0:10:29 > 0:10:30it's Madrid.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32That's your answer. Madrid, says Neil.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Let's see how many of our 100 people say Madrid.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's right. Very well done indeed.
0:10:39 > 0:10:4060 is our lowest score.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You pass that very comfortably indeed...
0:10:43 > 0:10:4622 for Madrid. Very well done on that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Good work, Neil.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Very well played, Neil.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Took us through the board very nicely as well.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You're right about the top one. It is Krakow.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Would have scored you slightly fewer points.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Would have scored you 18.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You're right about the Estonian city.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That is Tallinn. That would've scored more than Madrid.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05That would've scored you 31.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And the best answer on the board
0:11:07 > 0:11:09is the birthplace of Charles de Gaulle.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10It's Lille.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Very well done if you said Lille.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- 11 points. - Thank you very much.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15We're halfway through the round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Let's take a look at those scores. Well done, Neil.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Best score of that pass was yours, 22 - looking pretty strong.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23We travel all the way to 60 and a nice, tight group there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Lucy and Jackie on 60.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Pauline and Christine on 65.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Duncan and Johnny on 69.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Now, Johnny. You're not way ahead, but you are ahead.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We need a low score from you. We'll come back down the line.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41OK, let's put seven more Cities of Culture up on the board.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Here they are. We've got...
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I will read those again.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37There we are. Now, Katy.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Hi.- Welcome. Good to have you here.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Also from St Andrews. Does that mean you are also at the university?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes, just graduated in maths as well.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Ah, so you and Neil are maths friends.- Yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Sat next to each other in class? - Somewhat.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Shared calculus. I don't know. Where did you meet?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56We met in halls of residence in our first year.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58We shared a house in our second year.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00We realised we couldn't live together in our third year.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'm going to ask Neil why not. Why was that?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Basically, we spent too much time together.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07When we studied, we had the same classes,
0:13:07 > 0:13:08the same friends, we lived together.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Nothing to say to each other. It was for the best.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- OK. Very good. - And we're here now.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You're here now, so it was a good decision to make.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Katy, you've just left. Have you got plans?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- No, not yet. - That's quite nice, isn't it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yeah, yeah. - Nice to have a bit of time off.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Sure. - Stop thinking about maths, maybe.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Possibly about Neil, as well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Now, Katy, you're on 22.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31If you can possibly score 46 or less,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33you're through to the next round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I don't think I'll manage that.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I don't actually know any of them for certain,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41which is a bit embarrassing.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm presuming there's only one really big city in Iceland,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47so I'm going to say Reykjavik.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- You're going to go for Reykjavik? - Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Stands to reason.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Reykjavik - here's your red line.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54If you can get below that, you're into round two.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56How many people said Reykjavik?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Absolutely right, Katy. Well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0355. Good score.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Takes your total up to 77.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well played, Katy. Reykjavik translates as "Bay of Smokes".
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It's very weird. If you fly into Reykjavik,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15the airport's quite a long way...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The international airport is quite a long way from the centre of Reykjavik.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22You just travel along, sort of, lava, basically.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Mile after mile of black lava.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Is it quite exciting? I've never been.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It is very exciting. Iceland's incredible.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Oh, I shall go.- Very exciting.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- I shall go.- Off you go, it's good.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Oh, it was amazing. Ah, I loved it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37You know when you land at the airport,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39you essentially travel into the centre of Reykjavik across lava.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I couldn't believe it. I bought a lovely Aran sweater.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I didn't know that's where they came from.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- There we are. It's lovely, isn't it? - Mm.- Beautiful.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Jackie, welcome back.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Hi.- Remind us what you do, Jackie?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Well, I'm retired now.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01I used to be an admin manager in the corrugated board industry.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Corrugated board?- Yes. - This is plastic corrugated board.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08No, fibre. Cardboard.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What do you use corrugated board for?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Packaging, white goods. - Of course, it is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14It's in cardboard boxes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Very good for shifting heavy things.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19If you slide the piece underneath and pull,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22it's very good for moving stuff.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Now, Jackie, you're on 60. You're not our high scorers.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30If you can score 16 or less...
0:15:30 > 0:15:31I don't know that I'll manage that.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33There's a couple up that I know.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35But I think they'll be quite high numbers.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36It's not the easiest board, is it?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39No, it's not. I'm going to take a little bit of a guess
0:15:39 > 0:15:41on the city in the south of Ireland
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and say Cork.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Cork. Cork, says Jackie.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Well, here is your red line. It's quite low.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Let's see if Cork pays off as a guess.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53How many of our 100 people said Cork?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's right. It floats.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Oh, I think that'll do. 19.
0:16:04 > 0:16:0779 is your total. Very well done indeed.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yes, another good answer. Ireland's second-largest city, Cork.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Over a million people visited there in 2005
0:16:14 > 0:16:17when it was Capital of Culture.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Mm. Right - Johnny, welcome. - Hello.- What do you do, Johnny?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'm a student at the University of Manchester.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- And what are you studying? - I'm doing maths as well.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28A lot of maths. Have you been working out the statistics?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I've been trying to, but I don't think you can predict them too much.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Well, you can have a punt now.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38You have to score nine or less. What do you think your chances are?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42A fifth, maybe less, probably. It's quite a tough board.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Johnny, what are your interests? - I'm quite sporting.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I like to play football and cricket as much as I can.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49And I can play the piano as well.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Right you are. OK. Now, Johnny,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54what are you going to go for on this board?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Again, I know a couple of the ones I think would be more obvious,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00so I think I might go for one that I think might be right,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02but I'm not sure - the capital of Tuscany,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04which I think is Florence.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Florence, says Johnny. Now, we need a low score from you,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09as you can see from that red line - get below that,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11you're definitely into round two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13How many people said Florence?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Oh, it's not bad.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Ooh, not bad. Very close indeed.
0:17:23 > 0:17:2415.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Taking your total up to 84.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Lovely, close grouping, there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, you might have done enough
0:17:30 > 0:17:32to keep yourselves in the game, there - 84.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well played, Johnny. Some lovely, low scoring on the second pass.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38It was the second European Capital of Culture, Florence.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Christine, lovely to have you here. What do you do?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I work in the high school with Pauline.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm a classroom assistant in the learning support department.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- How long have you been in the school?- 13, 14 years.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Ah, so you've been colleagues for a long time?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54- Yes.- That's nice.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Is it a lovely staffroom, then? Nice atmosphere?- Yes, yes.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I've known quite a lot of people I work with for over 30 years.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- That's lovely.- As Pauline said, because we know all the pupils,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and their aunties and their grannies,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07it is quite a nice community.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Very nice. Christine, you have a bit of a task, here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I know. I hate being fourth. - I can't dress it up any other way.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14We need a score of 18 or less from you.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Well, Cork was mine. - Go through the board.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Do a little bit of thinking out loud just in case you have inspiration.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I know The Little Mermaid. I know that's Copenhagen.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28The Brandenburg Gate, Berlin. Sweden, Stockholm.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32The last one, I wouldn't even guess at.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, I'm not quite sure.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I think I'll go for my definite -
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I do know The Little Mermaid is in Copenhagen.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You're going to go for Copenhagen. OK, here is your red line.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Wish it were a bit higher. But, let's see.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47How far down the column can we get with Copenhagen?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Oh, 49!
0:18:56 > 0:18:5749 for Copenhagen,
0:18:57 > 0:18:58takes your total up to 114.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Yeah, the capital in 1996, Copenhagen.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You were right about Berlin.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Would have got you 69 points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The Swedish city was Stockholm.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14It's the lowest score there, of the ones that were left, 25.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- The Portuguese city...?- Lisbon.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.
0:19:18 > 0:19:2045 points for that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22The best answer on the board was Florence.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Very, very well played.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'm afraid the pair we have to send home
0:19:27 > 0:19:30with a high score of 114, it's Christine and Pauline.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Don't go all the way home, though, because we need you to come back for the next show.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37We look forward to seeing you then - I hope you go much, much further.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38It was lovely to have you on.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Thank you for playing. Christine and Pauline.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Well done, everyone. Here we are in Round Two.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs
0:20:03 > 0:20:05who's going first, who's going second?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15OK. And our TV comedy question is all about...
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Family sitcoms, Richard.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Yeah. I predict this may cause some trouble.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25We're going to show you the names of five British sitcoms now,
0:20:25 > 0:20:26all based around families.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29We're looking for the name of any actor who has appeared in five or more episodes
0:20:29 > 0:20:32of any of these, please, so five or more episodes
0:20:32 > 0:20:34of any of the sitcoms you're about to see.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Thank you very much. We're going to put five sitcoms up on the board,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39they'll stay up for the whole round,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41they won't be changing halfway through, just so you know.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Let's find out what they are. Those five sitcoms are...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I'll read those again.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Duncan, are you all right?- No.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Is this where we make up names of actors?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Yes. 100%. - Oh, no, don't make up the names -
0:21:05 > 0:21:07have normal actors, actors that exist.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Yeah. Hopefully, anyway.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Yeah, actors that exist, that might have been in one of these.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I mean, you know, five of them, they have big casts.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Actors isn't my strong point,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21so I'm just going to go for...Rowan Atkinson.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Rowan Atkinson says Duncan. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Bad luck, Duncan. I'm sorry.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Tough board, there, as Richard said.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Yeah, no Rowan Atkinson in any
0:21:36 > 0:21:38of those five, I'm afraid.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42There we are. Sorry, Duncan. 100 points for you. Now, Jackie...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Hi.- This is a fine board for you, isn't it?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Two of them I know, I know the top two sitcoms.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Um...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55There was someone in Butterflies and I can't for the life of me
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- remember the surname.- There were several people in Butterflies(!)
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Yeah, I know! So I think I'll just play safe,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04in Butterflies, Wendy Craig.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Wendy Craig. There we are. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Wendy Craig.
0:22:17 > 0:22:1940!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21APPLAUSE
0:22:21 > 0:22:2340 for Wendy Craig.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Yeah, all 28 episodes of Butterflies, of course,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27for Wendy Craig.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Thank you, Rich. Now, Katy.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Right. Well, I've heard of Outnumbered.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- This is good.- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- Not the rest of them.- The others
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- you haven't really heard of?- No.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39And I can see your man, like, the guy in Outnumbered
0:22:39 > 0:22:41and, like, I know his first name,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44but I can't think what his last name is.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48He's on all these panel shows and I can see his wife and...
0:22:48 > 0:22:49You can see his wife?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Yeah, his on-show wife. - I see, I see,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- I see. OK.- Yeah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Well, if I say his first name,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58maybe Neil will remember his second name
0:22:58 > 0:22:59so I'll go for...
0:23:01 > 0:23:04..Hugh Jenner.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Not right.- Hugh Jenner.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Let's see. Is it right, Hugh Jenner?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15No. I'm sorry, Katy.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17That's another incorrect answer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19A relief for Duncan, though.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Nice to have some company up there on 100.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22But, yes, scores you 100.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Yeah, not related to the Jenners or the Kardashians
0:23:25 > 0:23:26in any way at all, I'm afraid.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28There we are. Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We're halfway, let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:31 > 0:23:3440. Well done, Jackie. Phew. Nice to have a break from the 100s there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Nice for the column to get a bit of use as well,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but I'm afraid 100 is where we find Katy and Neil,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and Duncan and Johnny. So, Neil and Johnny,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44it's going to be between you on British family sitcoms.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Best of luck. Neither of you looking like
0:23:46 > 0:23:49you're brimming with confidence, I have to say!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Anyway, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Now then, Neil, have you heard of any of the sitcoms?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Yeah.- This is good. - Yeah, I've heard of My Family
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- and I could name some of the actors in it.- This is good.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05But I think they'll be high scorers.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I've also watched, I think, every episode of Outnumbered.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Perfect.- And I do know who the man that Katy
0:24:10 > 0:24:13was trying to name was. I'm not going to go with it
0:24:13 > 0:24:15because I think it will be another high score,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so I'm going to go with one of the children who's in Outnumbered,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22who... I think his name is Tyger Drew-Honey.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Tyger Drew-Honey, says Neil.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Tyger Drew-Honey - sounds like a headline.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30No red line for you, as you're joint high scorers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tyger Drew-Honey.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37It's right.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Look at that! Wonderful! 11.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well done, Neil.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48111 is your total.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- He's very good, Neil, isn't he?- Yeah.- Well done.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Yeah, he's been in all 34 episodes thus far, Tyger Drew-Honey.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57There we go. Now, Lucy.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Lucy, great score from Jackie on the first pass there,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02which means 70 or less gets you through.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05I've never watched any of them,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08but I know the person Katy was talking about,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10but I feel a bit mean taking that answer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13It's dog eat dog in Pointless, I can tell you that right away.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And it also might be quite high.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I'm going to go for...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Robert Lindsay in My Family.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Robert Lindsay. OK? Robert Lindsay,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27which you're hoping would score less than Hugh Jenner's proper name.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29There is your red line. Let's see if Robert Lindsay
0:25:29 > 0:25:31gets you below that red line.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Well done.- Oh!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Look at that, 24. Good work.
0:25:42 > 0:25:4464 is your total, you are in the head-to-head
0:25:44 > 0:25:46for the second time.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Yeah, very well played.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Of course, the patriarch of My Family.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Not of MY family. - Not of your family.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55No.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Johnny. Now, Johnny, ooh, exciting. Ooh.
0:25:58 > 0:26:0110 is what we need, a score of 10 or less, Johnny.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- No pressure.- 10 or less, or we say goodbye to you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05So in a similar sort of thing,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I've only seen My Family and Outnumbered.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- OK.- And I think I know the names of some of the children
0:26:11 > 0:26:15on My Family. I think the daughter was played by Daniela Denby-Ashe.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Whoa!
0:26:16 > 0:26:18What about that, Neil and Katy?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Daniela Denby-Ashe.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Oh, they're good. They're good on that first podium.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- If it's right. - Oh, it might be nonsense, of course.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I've forgotten about that.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It just sounds so specific - how could that possibly be wrong?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32There is your red line,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34it's quite low, but Daniela Denby-Ashe sounds like
0:26:34 > 0:26:37the sort of answer that gets down to that end of the column.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's find out if it is.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42It's right!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Down it goes. You're through.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50It's pointless!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That is fantastic, Johnny.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Very well done indeed.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58takes the total up to £2,500.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It scores you nothing, sees you into the head-to-head.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Very well done indeed, Johnny.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05100 is your score, you are through.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Yeah, the best possible answer two rounds in a row now,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Johnny, very well played. She played Janey Harper,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12one of the children in 95 episodes of My Family.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Terrific stuff.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Let's take a look at some pointless answers, shall we?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19The first three are all from My Family.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Not from MY family, but from My Family.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Yes.- Daisy Donovan was in seven episodes of My Family.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Dan Renton Skinner... - Lovely Dan Renton Skinner.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31..who has worked a lot with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32There is Daniela Denby-Ashe as well.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I don't know her so I can't pass judgment.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- She's lovely.- Oh, is she? - Oh, delightful.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Let's take a look at the next board.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42David Ryall, who played the grandfather in Outnumbered.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Dinah Sheridan, who plays Angela in Don't Wait Up.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Jane How, also from Don't Wait Up,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48also a pointless answer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Milton Johns was in Butterflies.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Ray Burdis, who plays Nick in Three Up, Two Down,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54the son in Three Up, Two Down,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57one of the stars of that, and Siobhan Hayes,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59who is also in My Family.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Not in my family, but she's in My Family.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Some of the bigger scorers -
0:28:03 > 0:28:06so, Butterflies, we've had Wendy Craig, of course.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Nicholas Lyndhurst would've scored you 19,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Geoffrey Palmer, who would have scored you six.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Andrew Hall was the other son, he would've scored two.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16For Don't Wait Up, Nigel Havers would have scored you two,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Tony Britton would have scored you one,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19very low scorers in Don't Wait Up.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22My Family - Zoe Wanamaker would have scored you 31,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Robert Lindsay 24, and Chris Marshall 5.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Every other answer was a pointless answer,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so well done if you said another one.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Outnumbered - Hugh Dennis was the name you are looking for.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Hugh Dennis.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35He would have scored you 28 points
0:28:35 > 0:28:38so you'd be safely through if you'd said Hugh Dennis.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Tiger Drew-Honey we've heard.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Claire Skinner, who is the mother, would have scored you 5.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Samantha Bond and Ramona Marquez,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46who plays the daughter in that, was 1 point.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Daniel Roche, who plays the other son, Ben, was a pointless answer,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51so well done if you said him. Three Up, Two Down -
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Michael Elphick 5, Lysette Anthony 3,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Angela Thorne 2.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57They were the big scorers, they were the only scorers,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59and everyone else was a pointless answer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:29:02 > 0:29:03the pair we're sending home,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Neil and Katy, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07but great scoring in that first round there,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09and I'm sure when you come back next time,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12you'll go much, much further, but, meantime, thanks so much.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Neil and Katy.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Very well done, Jackie and Lucy, Duncan and Johnny.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27You are now one step closer to the final
0:29:27 > 0:29:29and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31which currently stands at...
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Well, from here on in, you play as teams, you pool your knowledge
0:29:38 > 0:29:40and you can chat before you give your answers.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Now, Jackie and Lucy,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47you were here last time, standing where you are now,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49as our lowest-scoring pair.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Got surely to be the favourites for the final,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54but there's the Johnny factor.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56There is the Johnny factor.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Things may have just fallen very, very well for Johnny,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01or he just knows stuff.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I have a hunch he might just know stuff,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06so just be wary, is all I'm saying.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Very best of luck... And Duncan as well.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Sorry to overlook Duncan.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- I think Duncan knows stuff too... - Nah.- ..but Johnny I think...yeah.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Yeah. Best of luck, both pairs.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Let's play the head-to-head.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Premier League Managers. Richard.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34We're going to show you five pictures now
0:30:34 > 0:30:36of people who managed a club at some point
0:30:36 > 0:30:38in the English Premier League. Can you name them, please?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41OK. Let's reveal our five pictures and here they are.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43We have got...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09There we are, five Premier League managers.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Jackie and Lucy, you are our low scorers,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14so you will go first.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16THEY WHISPER
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Not our best round, let's be honest.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Can we go for D, Harry Redknapp?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36D, Harry Redknapp, say Jackie and Lucy.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38D, Harry Redknapp. Now, Duncan, Johnny,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40can you talk us through the board?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Yes, I can, for once.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46A is Manuel Pellegrini,
0:31:46 > 0:31:47B is Sir Alex Ferguson,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49don't have a clue who C is,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52and E, the one we're going to go with,
0:31:52 > 0:31:53is Mick McCarthy.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56OK. Mick McCarthy, say Duncan and Johnny, for E.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00So we have Harry Redknapp and we have Mick McCarthy.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Now, Jackie and Lucy, Harry Redknapp, D.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Ooh! 65 for Harry Redknapp.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Duncan and Johnny, meanwhile, have gone for Mick McCarthy, for E.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Let's see if that's right.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Very well done. That wins you that question.
0:32:31 > 0:32:3320 is what you score, but the important thing is,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Duncan and Johnny, after one question,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38you are up 1-0.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Well played, Duncan. Very nice.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42You were right about Manuel Pellegrini.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Would have been a slightly better score,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47not by much, 18 points for him.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Sir Alex, of course, B,
0:32:49 > 0:32:5380 points for him, and the best answer on the board,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Spurs fans will remember him.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58This was taken a few years later, though, it's Christian Gross,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00and that would have scored you 2.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Very well done if you said that at home.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Thanks very much, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Jackie and Lucy, you will have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Very best of luck. It concerns...
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Bolognese Ingredients. Richard.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16We're going to show you five ingredients now,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19listed in Delia's recipe for Ragu Bolognese.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20- Sounds lovely.- That does sound nice.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23But we've missed out alternate letters from the ingredients.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Oh, that's a shame.- I know. We shouldn't have done,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27we've been remiss. We're going to need these two pairs
0:33:27 > 0:33:29to try and help us out and fill in those gaps.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Otherwise dinner's going to be a disaster!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Exactly that. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37OK, so let's reveal our ingredients and here they are.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38We have got...
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I'll read those again.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Duncan and Johnny will go first this time.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01(It's got to be chopped tomatoes, surely?)
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Um, we know all of them except the third one, we think.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14And we're going to go for the top one, chopped tomatoes.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Chopped tomatoes, say Duncan and Johnny. Chopped tomatoes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Now, Jackie and Lucy,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23talk us through the rest of these ingredients.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26The only one we don't know is the third one
0:34:26 > 0:34:30and the third one is going to be the one, isn't it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:31So what are we going for?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Red wine, I think. - You're going to go for red wine.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37We're going to... Well, we're going to have to
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- at the end of this.- Yeah. OK. So... LAUGHTER
0:34:41 > 0:34:43We have chopped tomatoes and we have red wine.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Now, Duncan and Johnny went for chopped tomatoes.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52It's right.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Chopped tomatoes. 38.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0238 for chopped tomatoes.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Now, Jackie and Lucy have gone for red wine,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07an excellent choice if I may say.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Let's see how much you score with red wine.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Oh, I'm sorry.
0:35:16 > 0:35:1970 for red wine. That is high.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21But well done, Duncan and Johnny,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23that means after only two questions,
0:35:23 > 0:35:24you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Great work, Duncan and Johnny. Very well played.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We'll leave the third one for a moment as it's the one
0:35:28 > 0:35:30everyone is having a problem with.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I will say on that first one, when they came up, I thought,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35"Yep, chopped potatoes, easy."
0:35:35 > 0:35:38The lesson of which is don't eat my Bolognese.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Beef is the second one, of course.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43That would have scored you 56.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45The bottom is basil.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47That would have scored you 89 points.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49So are you having trouble with the third one as well?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Oh, completely.- It is...
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- nutmeg.- Oh!- Oh, God, of course.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- 20 points. - HE SIGHS
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Best answer on the board. - It's a great answer.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Yep.- No, couldn't see it at all.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I was going through the vowels, hadn't made it to U yet.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07There we go, thank you very much.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Well, I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to
0:36:09 > 0:36:11at the end of our head-to-head round is Jackie and Lucy.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Once again, our low scorers
0:36:13 > 0:36:15and standing there in the golden position and I'm afraid,
0:36:15 > 0:36:17for the second and final time,
0:36:17 > 0:36:18we turn you away from the final. I'm sorry.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21It seems so unfair. It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Thank you so much for playing and playing so well.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Thank you. Jackie and Lucy. APPLAUSE
0:36:28 > 0:36:32But for Duncan and Johnny, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Very, very well done.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Duncan and Johnny, you've seen off all the competition
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:50 > 0:36:54and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Well, that's just an exemplary performance on Pointless there.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I mean, right from Daniela Denby-Ashe,
0:37:03 > 0:37:062-0 in the head-to-head, Duncan, Mick McCarthy,
0:37:06 > 0:37:07very well truffled out there.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09I mean, just great, great performance.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11What do you want to see come up in this last round?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Duncan, anything you particularly want to see?- Sport, any sport.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15OK. Johnny, how about you?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Preferably, like geography or capital cities, something like that.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- That would be... - OK. Or child actors.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Yeah. Apparently, yeah.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Well, let's hope there's something on the board
0:37:26 > 0:37:28that you like the look of.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30We have got on today's selection...
0:37:38 > 0:37:39It's got to be the bottom two, I would say.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42It's on you, cos I'm terrible with films.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Abraham Lincoln, I think. Yeah?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Abraham Lincoln it is. OK.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49OK, been a terrific performance so far, gents.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I hope one of these three questions suits you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Let's take a look at them. We're looking for anyone
0:37:53 > 0:37:56who received an acting credit in the Spielberg film
0:37:56 > 0:37:57from 2012, Lincoln.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59So anyone with an acting credit in that film.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03We're looking for any of the 15 US presidents before Lincoln
0:38:03 > 0:38:06or we're looking for any word of five or more letters
0:38:06 > 0:38:10in the Gettysburg Address. The one at the Lincoln Memorial.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12So five or more, words of the Gettysburg Address.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14So the cast of Lincoln, according to IMDB,
0:38:14 > 0:38:15US presidents before Lincoln
0:38:15 > 0:38:18and the words in the Gettysburg Address, five letters or more.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Very, very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23OK, now, as always you've got up to one minute to come up
0:38:23 > 0:38:25with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot
0:38:25 > 0:38:27is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Are you ready?- Yep.- Very good.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36It's going to have to be presidents, yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, Millard Fillmore, Zachary Taylor...
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- James Polk, John Tyler. - We have to pick three, though.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I know, yeah.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Martin Van Buren.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I'd say Millard Fillmore would be good.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Millard Fillmore.- Yeah.- Erm...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Franklin Pierce and...
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- ..James Polk, I would say.- Yeah. Yeah.- Are you happy with those?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Yeah.- OK, we'll stop the clock.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10That's just fun to watch, isn't it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Right, your three answers are... - Right. Millard Fillmore.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Millard Fillmore.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- Franklin Pierce. - Franklin Pierce.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- And James Polk.- And James Polk.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21And just for clarification, which category is...?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- They're all from the US Presidents. - They're all US Presidents, yes.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Millard Fillmore, I'd say. - Millard Fillmore goes last.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- James Polk.- James Polk. And Franklin Pierce we put in the middle.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then
0:39:36 > 0:39:38and here they are. We've got...
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Well, three very good answers there. Very, very well done.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Let's suppose one of these is pointless,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52what would you do with that jackpot if you won it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54£2,500?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- Go down the pub. - Go down the pub. Yeah, probably.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I reckon you could have a lock-in for that, couldn't you?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Yeah. That's the plan. - That's the dream.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Yeah, very good. "That's the dream!"
0:40:05 > 0:40:06- That's the dream.- OK.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Now, your first answer was James Polk. This is the one you thought
0:40:09 > 0:40:11was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14In all of these cases, we were looking for US presidents
0:40:14 > 0:40:16before Abraham Lincoln.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19If this is right and it is pointless, it will win you £2,500.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Polk.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26It's right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32All it has to be now is pointless and you will leave here with £2,500.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Down it goes through the teens into single figures.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Down it goes, still going down, still going down.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39You've done it! APPLAUSE
0:40:39 > 0:40:40There we are!
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Very well done indeed.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Superb. Brilliant.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Well, congratulations, Duncan and Johnny.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57Fantastically, you've finished the game as you started it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Very, very strong answers. James Polk was a pointless answer,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Very, very well done indeed.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:10I mean, simple game to win
0:41:10 > 0:41:13when you see it played like that, don't you?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Each round absolutely battered everyone off,
0:41:15 > 0:41:172-0 in the head-to-head, fantastic stuff in the final.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Franklin Pierce, your second answer,
0:41:19 > 0:41:20would have scored you 1 point.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Slipping, I think, slipping.- Yeah.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Millard Fillmore, your last answer...
0:41:27 > 0:41:28pointless.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:37In fact, as we'll discover, during that 60 seconds,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40you said every single pointless answer for American presidents
0:41:40 > 0:41:43apart from one. So very, very well done, Duncan.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- Now... - LAUGHTER
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Let's take a look at the cast of Lincoln.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Some big names on the pointless list.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00In fact, everyone in that film other than Daniel Day Lewis,
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04everyone else was a pointless answer. So well done if you got one.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Let's look at those presidents.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09You said Martin Van Buren,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12you said Zachary Taylor, you also said John Tyler,
0:42:12 > 0:42:13who's also a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The only pointless answer you didn't say was William Henry Harrison.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Yeah, so you're not that smart.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20LAUGHTER
0:42:20 > 0:42:23And the words in the Gettysburg Address,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24remember that question?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Everything apart from freedom, people, score,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32liberty, nation, years, equal, created, rather,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35never, power and seven. Those are the only ones that scored points.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Everything else in the Gettysburg Address
0:42:37 > 0:42:39over five letters was a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43And one of the great Pointless performances, gents.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Congratulations. We will remember Mick McCarthy
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- for a long time to come.- Thank you.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thanks very much indeed. Well, thanks once again
0:42:50 > 0:42:52to our winning players, Duncan and Johnny,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500. Very well done.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:03 > 0:43:04to the test on Pointless.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
